From what I heard, hyperkalemia is much less of an issue than high unregulated sodium intake for a large majority of the population. The highlighted issue of toxicity in high doses applies to many household foods in general, and I wouldn't think a slightly less salty salt could be posing the highest dangers. Happy to be corrected by more medically-versed people though.
This is the big issue that came along when stable households (mom/dad taking care of you) were replaced by fentanyl and TikTok.

They're declared off-limits because the military doesn't want them. Biological and chemical weapons aren't useful to modern militaries. Landmines and cluster munitions are, so none of the countries that actually matter have banned them!

This is an excellent overview of why: https://acoup.blog/2020/03/20/collections-why-dont-we-use-ch...
With the help of Google's resources and knowledge from now on. For some dollars of course. AI will not develop itself just yet, right? So those military corp need some humans for that, preferebly those experienced already, or better yet, made it. I have a hunch, it will help them quite a bit.

By the way humans: "principles page includes provisions that say the company will use human oversight". ... which human? Trump? Putin is human too, but I guess he is busy elsewhere.

Did you know that in iMessage, Android user texts are the same color as iOS user messages? It's true.

As the iOS user, it is your own messages that are green or blue depending on whether it was sent using iMessage or SMS. It's useful feedback about whether your message was sent on a reliable channel.

I know it became a whole thing and that Apple has allowed it to remain as such. But it's not really an apt analogy.
Certain immigrants actually seem to excel in trucking and even enjoy it (Punjabi truckers especially in California - I always see the Sikh logos on the back of their trucks between LA and SF!). A quick policy adjust would resolve any shortage in truckers with other people who'd probably also enjoy the work.

However, there isn't a massive pool of people abroad who can handle US airspace demands (which now seems to include helicopters flying in the approach pathways of active runways in VFR while wearing night vision goggles and ignoring their radar altimeters all so some DC asshat doesn't have to sit in a car for 20 minutes, and also includes people like my former college hallmates who take handheld aviation radios, ask for permission to depart, and run on the taxiways with their arms extended, to great dismay of ATC)

> My point was more that if "liberal" == "clean" and "conservative" == "incompetent apparatchiks" then you're (the royal you) a shill

If I consider all the ones who voted for Presidential immunity corrupt does that make me a shill? It's a decision with no constitutional basis (the constitution grants no presidential immunity, but does grant other immunities, implying if it was intended it'd be in there) and ahistorical (we can find plenty of examples of presidents assuming they or their predecessor could be prosecuted).

That still leaves us in the same place a Supreme Court where the majority is beholden to the current President, not the constitution.

> That looks like it could be useful.

Hehe. Sure.

> You claimed that it was because it don't occur in all humans that we know something is vestigial.

Nope, you’re insisting on running on your own misunderstanding, even after I cleared it up. Doubling down on a straw man weakens your argument. Again, what I said is that some of the organs we suspect are vestigial have additional evidence that supports and confirms it, when some humans don’t have them and don’t miss them. We can literally see the lack of evolutionary advantage in the results.

I’m just letting you know your ideas about evolution don’t match known science. It’s up to you to educate yourself, and it is up to you to defend your own claims.

You can rationalize the uses and benefits of any given feature or body part all you want, the only thing that matters with evolution is the outcome. Humans have been getting larger over time, which completely disproves your claim about body mass, regardless of what you think or say. Some vestigial organs appear to be evolving away very very slowly, which matches the known theory, and also disproves your claim that evolution would remove things quickly.

I have already mentioned multiple times the reason biologists say that evolution is sometimes very slow: because not everything in the body affects mortality or reproduction enough to result in any evolutionary force, and contrary to your claim, evolution does not cull traits without a force. You don’t have to believe me though. I’m happy to argue about incorrect statements on HN, but I don’t care if you want to hold on to your own ideas about evolution. Take this debate to your local university’s bio or anthro departments and see what they say.

This seems fine! There are open protocols (email, ics) if they work for you, but Apple specifically developed this in a way to neither require an Apple device or Apple Account to interact.

You'd never figure out who was "evil" because it's just based on your own interpretation of what evil is. Unless of course you want to join me as a moral objectivist? I don't think Google doing military work with the US government is evil. On the other and I think the influence and destruction caused by advertising algorithms is. Who gets to decide what is evil?

I take issue with "don't blame the employees". You need people to run these organizations. If you consider the organization to be evil you don't get to then say well the people who are making the thing run aren't evil, they're just following orders or they don't know better. BS. And they'd be replaced if they left? Is that really the best argument we have against "being evil"?

Sorry I'd be less evil but if I gave up my position as an evil henchman someone else would do it! And all that says anyway is that those replacing those who leave are just evil too.

If you work at one of these companies or buy their products and you literally think they are evil you are either lying to yourself, or actively being complicit in their evil actions. There's just no way around that.

Take personal responsibility. Make tough decisions. Stop abstracting your problems away.
I think it's unfair to bring up OpenAI's commitment to its own principles as any sort of bar of success for anyone else. That's a bit like saying "Yes, this does look like they're yielding to foreign tyrants, but is this more or less ethical than Vidkun Quisling's tenure as head of Norway?"

I have worked for an awful lot of people over the years, and given they could afford my services, I would guess they fall into the "people who can choose what kind of computer they will choose" category. Some could choose what kind of Ferrari they wanted, lol.

Your intuition is anecdotal. Plenty of people either don't care, or gasp prefer Windows. They are not stupid (I'm one of them, which I'd be happy to discuss with anyone, up to and including Mr. Torvalds).

An operating system is a tool to allow you to use your computer hardware and to run software. What fits your needs may not fit everyone's. There's nothing wrong with that.

I think probabilistic counters are really interesting for this situation, as long as you don't need exact numbers.

if random.randint(1, 100) == 1:
db.increment(row)

Then, looking at the database, you can know that the actual count is approximately 100x the number of times the row was incremented.

There's an even more aggressive version that I've seen called a 'Morris Counter' which uses just a few bits to build an order-of-magnitude estimate of the number of events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_counting_algorithm

My concern is the lack of due process [1]. By changing government programs that directly or indirectly benefits citizens without due process. The US will be without rule of law. It will become a winner take all situation. The winner of an election will be above the law. And the loser be potentially denied property and/or incarcerated simply for being in the wrong political party.

[1] https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/due_process

While, thus, some law-based relationship or expectation of continuation had to be shown before a federal court would say that process was "due," constitutional “property” was no longer just what the common law called “property”; it now included any legal relationship with the state that state law regarded as in some sense an “entitlement” of the citizen. Licenses, government jobs protected by civil service, or places on the welfare rolls were all defined by state laws as relations the citizen was entitled to keep until there was some reason to take them away, and therefore process was due before they could be taken away.

I do feel Zig has the current trend moving in its favor, with projects like Ghostty and Bun gaining prominence. I think Odin would need something like that to really capture attention.
