This is the first I'm hearing of turmeric and green tea being hepatotoxic.

Unfortunately, the study states “the daily dose of an HDS product consumed by an individual patient was not recorded or available for analysis.”

Does anyone know at what dosage/frequency do they become hepatotoxic? I'm a regular consumer of both (in their natural forms, not as extracts) and haven't had any liver issues (that I'm aware of). Maybe I should go get a checkup soon...
Good. I'm onboard with that. They're human-toxic systems that optimize "hours on screen" over literally anything else that might be good for people.
> And I really wish there was a good defense or rallying cry, something we could say when we get the inevitable "would actually be easier" that can capture the enthusiasm for setting ourselves up & building broadly towards our better worlds.

Unusual that car black box data is not available to the car owner. I would expect it to be. With some effort, perhaps we can get it to be this way in California, though I suppose the fear is that the manufacturer will simply remove car telemetry in California if almost every car has something that could be twisted to be liability.
But then wouldn’t accelerationists also say their views are a matter of faith too?
We've spent 100 years trying to make polymers that last forever, and we've realized that's not actually a good thing," Fors said.

Bio research needs buildings. Electricity, heat, lights need to be on in those buildings and they need maintenance. Labs need equipment and often very specialized and expensive space. Not to mention someone needs to do accounting, payroll, taxes, immigration, maintenance, legal, ethics, etc. And all of these people need facilities, offices, computers, etc. Just like any corporation!

These are indirect costs. You cannot do research without them.

What's going to happen if the government cuts off most indirect costs is that we're going to be forced to do research that can be covered by those costs.

So, no, more money isn't going to go to better research. It's going to go to much worse research and it will be a massive waste.

Instead of doing the best research I can, I'll need to think about the lowest overhead projects so that my department doesn't go bankrupt. That means taking no risks, avoiding new data collection, not starting up anything radically new that might not have an immediate payoff, etc. That's a bad deal for everyone!

Good scientists don't want to do bad research. The best will leave.

This will destroy the lead that the US has in science and technology over the rest of the world. Never mind kill countless people who would have been saved by new treatments.

The first time I’ve tried to prepare a set of commits to push out I found out the hard way that merges cannot be undone - and I’m not sure which of the commands were doing a merge.
What did you find annoying or infuriating about this? It’s quite possibly jj’s most beloved feature. Since all of your changes are constantly being recorded, you're covered by your VCS even if you don’t commit.

As a 1+ year jj user now, I can’t think of a single time I’ve needed to use a git hash. They’re there underlying things, but you’re always just using revision IDs.

I tried out WASM for a very small project once. This was built from a freestanding C source file (no libraries at all, not even the standard library). Zig was the C compiler used to build the program.

And I was able to get things working with an understanding of the whole system. You could instantiate the WASM from either a file, or from a byte array, pass in the byte array that held 'system memory' for the WASM program, call the WASM functions from the JavaScript code, and see results of making the function calls. The WASM binary was under 3KB in size.

Now once you want to use libraries, everything light and small about WASM goes out the window. You're at the mercy of how efficiently the library code was implemented, and how many dependencies they used while doing so.

I've been hoping that Fleet would emerge as a true multi language IDE. I code in GoLang and Python regularly. I currently have the Python plugin in Goland which is not the professional plugin. If I want them I have to use a different IDE and switching back and forth is a pain.

Also, with a rewrite I've hoped that remote development will be less buggy than it currently is with Goland. It's laggy too and you see weird screen flashes. Sometimes certain features don't even work over remote.
New-enough passenger cars tend to have connectivity like Carplay as a built-in.

Old-enough passenger cars tend to have a standard-enough hole DIN-ish hole to fit a modern aftermarket unit with modern connectivity.

In between those two, there's a world of cars that have touch-screen controls but lack modern connectivity. This is a subset of vehicles that cannot do anything but shrink as they age out.

But there are some aftermarket solutions for these, too, which add modern connectivity while retaining the stock electronics and physical appearance. (There's actually quite a diverse array of these upgrades available, though the origin of these devices feels very strange to me compared to traditional car audio aftermarket, and it is also absolutely exclusively Chinese.)
One factor to consider is that some (many?) schools don't like to hire their own graduates.

Associated or nearby labs (LBNL, SLAC, ...) might be a factor for some specializations.

Another consideration could be where you want to live.
> But it won’t help get them a job because DEI is bad.

That's an uncharitable take that focuses on the wrong issue, in my opinion.

Noland's life was pretty dire: "Since dislocating his C4-5 vertebrae in a 2016 swimming accident, Arbaugh had dropped out of Texas A&M and returned to live with his family in Yuma, Arizona. Due to the combination of Yuma’s scorching heat — from May to September the average high temperature is 99 degrees or more — and the intense spasms he experienced when sitting in his power chair, Arbaugh spent most of his time in bed, watching TV. With no sensation or function below his shoulders and having limited caregiving hours provided by the state, he relied heavily on his parents and brother and often felt like a burden." [1]

After Neuralink, the abilities that Noland gained is best represented by his own words: “Before, I would wake up and just [watch] my TV,” he says. “Now, I wake up and [work] on my computer. It’s very similar, but at the same time, my daily routine has changed from just watching stuff to being more active and interactive with the world.”

Everyone loves to gripe about Markdown, but I think this the killer feature which keeps it so prominent: it's right at the sweet spot of staying in a writing workflow while still having enough formatting capability to cover ~95% of use cases. Despite all the complaining, I don't expect it to be replaced any time soon and I think all my notes and writing will be in Markdown for many years to come.

Besides you can directly embed any HTML inside markdown.
I used to do it in my former Skoda Fabia and the window just collapsed. Thank Indian roads. I noticed there is a subtle final movement from "cracked" to closed and I guess there is a big difference in vibrations related wear.

Toyota ran ads encouraging owners to crack windows in the rain and I noticed no final movement. But I'm not risking it.
The judge is a user of Westlaw and not a shareholder, as is the judge's office. They would like Westlaw to be cheaper and easier to use. Westlaw takes the judge's work product and profits from it. Arguably, Westlaw should demand all judges recuse themselves!

China has heavily subsidized EV production in order to become a leader in that area (particularly battery production). Same thing they did with solar panels.
I very much like this analogy. Thank you for making this clearer in my mind.
Just curious, what was the same story you said every single day for 12-years?
If you support them taking someone else's speech away, what will they say when the come for you? What will anyone else say?
The subsidies in China have been significantly larger.

Besides that, EVs in the US are targeting a different market segment. It's for people who would be buying a $40K SUV, not those buying a $20K Corolla.
> enabling consumers to run big-LLM inference locally

A non-technical reason is that the market of people wanting to run their personal LLMs at home is very small.
The impression I got initially was WASM is a way to ship and app into the browser as a blob of bytecode. No more random pile of js files that are largely unreadable due to trying to shave every last extra byte off them.

While I would lament the age that I came up in, where if some hot company down the street had just a killer javascript dropdown menu well you could just view source and maybe learn a few things. I think what that initial impression I got was a great idea.

But yeah, the concept has kind of expanded. I want to say you can write WASM 'plugins' for istio. Which I also think is pretty cool.

Something is going to replace containers, I say let them take a swing at it but I think at the end of the day you get something that ends up looking a lot like containers.
The "sustainability makeover" reads like it can in principle be recycled, and if we really want to we can make it from plants (though we likely wouldn't).

I don't have access to the full paper, but "Flexible and soft, the resulting material can be completely chemically recycled using heat and degraded by acid" doesn't inspire confidence that it would actually degrade well in nature. At least from that short description it does at least sound economically viable for deliberate recycling. At least with the right incentives.

They call it "bio-sourced material". Now I don't have a chemistry degree, but my amateur understanding is that most of the synthesis chains available here ultimately derive from oil. For example you can get DHF by catalyzing 1,4-butanediol on cobalt or aluminum oxide. Wikipedia lists a number of ways 1,4-Butanediol is made industrially, but they all boil down to oil product, natural gas, or the occasional "we mostly make this from oil, but sometimes ethanol is used instead". The most "bio-sourced" of those is via Butadiene, where wikipedia claims "While not competitive with steam cracking for producing large volumes of butadiene, lower capital costs make production from ethanol a viable option for smaller-capacity plants."

It reads like a nice material, but as usual temper your expectations
It's probably not their fault. A lot of university engineering programs don't provide students with access to machine shops.
Hilarious post in that it mirrors my own experience. Starting writing a SFS site by hand in HTML, hated writing new things on it, decided to ditch it for a static site generator.
Ditto. I used a Coinstar machine earlier this year to convert a few years worth of coins to Apple gift cards, but I accidentally redeemed the cards to my Apple "Media & Subscriptions" account. Now I've got about $140 there. My Apple One family subscription will use it up soon enough so I set a reminder to migrate purchases in a few months.
> I agree, but I believe the reason for the errors is because people intuitively have a pretty good grasp of the game theory for the situation where someone is trying not to give you something they promised

Unfortunately this doesn't match reality. The vast majority of people who got the problem wrong when it was first published are not confused about the rules and insist that the chances are even (same chance to get a car switching as not switching). This doesn't match a theory that these people think the host is trying to trick the player in some way.

Additionally, You can reframe the problem and will still see significant error rates.

There are two ways to look at it. It's all been purely built up via propaganda, or there is actual merit in the tool. Ironically, it's a meta-game because propaganda supports each of those views.

But personally, I think it's silly to say Kubernetes has more of a propaganda issue than any other <insert big name framework>. There are "purists" like any other tool. However, I don't let them bother me so much that I just throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Those economic gains are not felt by a majority of the population. That was clear by the election, and would be clear to you if you stepped out of your own echo chamber. Nobody wants to hear about U3 unemployment when they can't afford childcare, groceries, medicine, all of which have inflated significantly. For folks who were already living paycheck to paycheck, of which there are many, these explanations are both patronizing and out of touch with the lived experience of most of the population.

Yup, that's all correct. I drew `squash` and `backout` in terms of files in order to avoid needing notation for the opposite of an edit and the composition of two edits.
Until Intel's Ice Lake server processors introduced in 2019, x86-64 essentially was a 48-bit address architecture: addresses are stored in 64-bit registers, but were only valid if the top two bytes were sign-extended from the last bit of the 48-bit address. Now they support 57 bit addressing.

Does django + intertia.js solve this usecase already?
It's infinitely rotatable unless the software tells the motor to push back. The encoder appears to be relative, rather than absolute, so the physical positioning at power-up is unknown. Thus, the physical knob can't have a physical pointer with consistent behavior.

I have an LG washing machine with a knob like that. After power up, you have to turn it one notch before it lights up to indicate the current position, which is the default Normal cycle. So the knob has to be symmetrical, with no tactile pointer.
jj is pretty much just safer than Git in terms of the core architecture.

There's several things Git can't undo, such as if you delete a ref (in particular, for commits not observed by `HEAD`), or if you want to determine a global ordering between events from different reflogs: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Architecture#...

In contrast, jj snapshots the entire repo after each operation (including the assignment of refs to commits), so the above issues are naturally handled as part of the design. You can check the historical repo states with the operation log: https://jj-vcs.github.io/jj/latest/operation-log/ (That being said, there may be bugs in jj itself.)
They'll probably go a step further and use an ORM instead of writing queries.

Since ORMs generally write crap unoptimized sql for all but the simplest of queries, this will lead to performance issues once things scale up.
There's also a usecase of using flac for non-audio data: anything that looks like a waveform compresses quite well. e.g. analog signals, data logging, etc. One example is https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode - capturing high-bandwidth signals directly from analog tape with SDR-like hardware, for later software demodulation. Those waveform signals compress quite well with flac.

Currently there's flacCL, which compresses on the GPU, so this is one more option.
docker and lxd are competing projects. Docker does not use lxd to launch containers. lxd was written by the lead dev (at canonical) of lxc which was not as polished as docker but sort of kind of did the same thing (ran better chroots)

They both use Linux kernel features such as control groups and namespaces. When put together this is referred to as a container but the kernel has zero concept of “a container”.
Most popular PC operating systems (CP/M, DOS, Mac, ...) from the 1980s to the early 1990s didn't have memory protection, yet people used them and still use them.

George RR Martin famously wrote on WordStar for DOS (a rewrite of the CP/M version) until at least 2014.

Turbo Pascal didn't have memory protection, but people still loved it and compare it favorably to modern IDEs. Both Turbo Pascal (DOS and CP/M) and Think C (Mac) have featured on HN repeatedly iirc.

As I understand it, Apple's Lisa had memory protection, but the Mac gave it up to reduce hardware and memory requirements. Apple's Pascal compilers (like many) supported range checking, but developers turned it off, giving up reliability for performance and code size. Then they switched to C, which laughs at memory safety* and introduced null pointers that conveniently pointed to Mac OS data in low memory/writable RAM (perhaps a hangover from Apple II/6502 programming.)

It's almost like CPU designers going for performance at any cost and introducing isolation and security flaws.

* Prof. Kernighan might point out that there are ANSI C compilers that are memory safe and that nobody uses, and that clang/LLVM might even implement a safe memory model someday

Edited: Very similar to another Tesla crash in China with a social media protest. In that crash the brake lights did not come on at all. In fact the acccelerator was pressed down 100% for a full five seconds before the crash which was entirely the drivers fault.

The defendant knew this and Tesla gave the family the car telemetry data, but continued to falsely protest that the brakes were depressed during a lengthy social media campaign, and as a result determined by a Chinese court Telsa was awarded damages and the family was asked to publicly apologize.

They eventually did in this story.

Tesla had finally given Zhang what she’d been asking for, but they’d published the data publicly and included her vehicle identification number. She said she and her family started getting threatened and doxed online. Besides, she wondered, how could she be sure Tesla hadn’t modified or redacted the data from her car? It was less than the victory she’d hoped for. Feeling besieged, she sued Tesla a second time, in March 2022, for invading her privacy.

Zhang lost both cases she brought against Tesla.

Activists very much have to be activists. There is often very little space for polite activism without the impolite creation of awareness in the first place.

And the progress of a position also depends on the ability to get work done politely when impoliteness is not needed.

> What's going to happen if the government cuts off most indirect costs is that we're going to be forced to do research that can be covered by those costs.

The whole debate is whether 15% indirect costs is sufficient or whether it needs to be 30%+. Without a doubt universities are bloated and many don’t invest appropriately in their facilities — but where is the appropriate line?

Unfortunately, you didn’t add to that debate: you assumed the conclusion and then catastrophized based on your assumption. That exact style of argumentation is what makes people distrust that 30%+ really is needed — because nobody itemizes how, they just immediately resort to shaming and emotional manipulation.

> That means taking no risks, avoiding new data collection, not starting up anything radically new that might not have an immediate payoff, etc.

That’s compounded by all your personal examples of how this impacts you being direct costs — which have greater funding, with this change. And your claim that you can no longer do them dubious at best.
