Genuinely? There's probably some less-than-obvious test that no one thought to run, but that if someone did run would make all the pieces fall into place.

I've shared this story before on here a few times: I have ankylosing spondylitis, and it took me a few years to get diagnosed, but even after I got diagnosed treatment didn't seem to help. Humira, steroid shots, none of it. All I could do was eat NSAIDs like candy, which helped in the short term but kinda fucked me over in the long term.

Then I saw a gastroenterologist to ask about a hemorrhoid, and he took one look at me and my file—walking with a cane at a very young age, HLA B27+, offhand complaints about "IBS" (note: it's not officially IBS unless you've ruled out other problems!)—and recommended me for a colonoscopy. My health insurance is decent, so I agreed, and he saw a bunch of inflammation in there. Turns out I have Crohn's, and the AS is likely downstream of that; when I started taking oral medication that isn't supposed to have any effect outside the GI tract, my arthritis vanished.

But your average provider won't see a patient with joint pain and skin problems and think "well obviously we need to stick a camera up their butt."

Monasteries and religious houses could be well-supported, wealthy, with comfortable lifestyles for the intellectual, and there were a lot of them.

(In those days there was plenty of support and regulation for two, or more men, to get together and live as a family; women as well)

So now we can study figures such as St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, Henry VIII, calling them all to repentance, and consider how their lives ended.

Can you say more about why this time was valuable?
First time I've seen this, and very interesting. I was aware of the USDS but not the DOGE connection. Presumably all the former employees were fired as the alien took over the host?
We built Opencomply to tackle the headaches of security and compliance, and as one of the creators, I'm thrilled to see the HN community's interest. What's your biggest struggle in this area, and what features would make the biggest difference for you?
I’d take the Wikipedia answer any day. Millions of eyes on each article vs. a black box with no eyes on the outputs.
what I mean is if we can describe an LLM as a lossy compression (which are words spoken by Andrej), we could define what was done during inferring as uncompressing the compressed data, and at this moment shit would hit the fan.
Great stuff! Did you make your website with react?
> The inner core is usually thought to be shaped like a ball, but its edges may actually have deformed by 100m or more in height in places, according to Prof John Vidale who led the research.

Is this not within the margin of error for our understanding of the boundary?

It would not surprise me if the boundary is a place where there is no clear difference between solid and liquid, such that the solid edges of the core are always transient. Phase change diagrams in chemistry show regions where matter is simultaneously a liquid and a solid at temperatures and pressures that do not occur in daily life. Presumably, under immense pressure and temperature, the core's boundary would be a place where this occurs.

I am not an expert in physics, so take what I say here with a grain of salt.
This is actually a very interesting video. Unfortunately the title is provocative and makes it seem to be yet another Trump video but the actual video barely mentions him and is primarily about different interpretations of the Constitution and legal philosophies.
No, -kin is not a suffix used anymore. English does have a diminutive suffix though, it's -y/-ie: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-y#Suffix_2

For example, John -> Johnny, Tim -> Timmy, Grace -> Gracie, cat -> kitty, horse -> horsey. As far as I can think of, it can only applied to one-syllable nouns; longer words must be clipped first -- e.g. Katherine -> Kat(y|ey|ie), Tobias -> Toby, Andrew -> Andy, stomach -> tummy.

I can't think of an augmentive suffix that can be applied to names.
When thinking about names: in Norway it's quite common to take both parents' names now. So I'm MKS (initials), where Mats is my first name, K is my middle name being mother's surname, and S my dad's surname. I think it's great to have a connection to both families, and that my mother and dad combines instead of one having to "give up" some of their identity

But what happens next generation? When a partner named ABC with two surnames should be combined with my name. Should a kid then be named DBCKS? And then it doubles every generation? Or should both parents pick one and pass on? And then which one? The father line as always?
I can't say I've ever heard "kin" used in everyday English speech. The only generally recognizable example word I can think of using it is "munchkin", which either refers to certain small residents of Oz (from "The Wizard of Oz" lore) or the name Dunkin' uses for the confection more generically known as a "doughnut hole" (which if you're not familiar with it is essentially the doughy center of the doughnut removed to make the hole and in my opinion should be called something like "inverse doughnut holes", although no one else seems to feel as strongly as me about it).

I had to Google what "augmentative suffix" was; despite having taken several years of Spanish in middle school and high school and being aware of the concept, I somehow hadn't heard that term before! I don't think there's anything common for that in English; the only thing that springs to mind for me is the prefix "big-ass", which probably isn't different enough from the typical adjective used for this purpose to qualify.

Their sample was fine, but them subsampling it to present clickbait misinformation is not. Here [1] for instance are some interesting broad picture datums. General planned fertility hasn't changed much at all over the years, but rather people are simply failing to achieve their goals. The percent of people with the intent to remain childless (100% of the sample in the studies you linked to) remains relatively negligible, rarely more than ~15% per age bucket, and generally much lower. So those views are quite unrepresentative and fringe.

The relationship between economics and fertility is widely accepted, but surveys have been hijacked by clickbait. Going the other direction with studies is also difficult because it's well established and taken as a given, rather than studied. But this [2] seems to be some older foundational study on the topic. ctrl+f for "opportunity cost." Essentially the more people earn, the more they lose out by having children, which is seen as a major deterrent to having children. In other words, they don't see themselves as having enough money to afford what they would lose by having children, so prioritize earning more, to buy more things, over having children.

Am I a bad programmer if rust is really difficult for me. I desperately want to learn a low-level language, since I think I'm missing something hanging out with my buddies C#, Python and NodeJS.

C and C++ are too difficult, Rust is also hard. I think my best bet is Zig at this point.
I haven't seen -kin is used as a diminutive suffix in modern American English, in the way -ito,-ita is in Spanish (niñito, perrito). Maybe in England?

As someone who's been writing code for nearly 20 years now, and who spent a few weeks rewriting a Flutter app in Jetpack Compose with some help from Claude (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.johnmaguire...), I have to say I don't agree with this at all.
I let copilot add onto this framework and liked it:

Detective's Hat
The detective's hat is all about investigation and debugging. When you put on this hat, you're diving deep into the code to find the root cause of a bug or issue. This involves a lot of patience, attention to detail, and sometimes a bit of intuition. You might use tools like debuggers, log analyzers, and performance profilers to track down elusive problems.

Architect's Hat
The architect's hat is for designing systems and thinking about the big picture. With this hat on, you're considering how different components of the system interact, scalability, maintainability, and future growth. This involves creating diagrams, writing design documents, and making decisions that will impact the project long-term.

Gardener's Hat
The gardener's hat is about nurturing and maintaining code. This involves refactoring, cleaning up technical debt, and ensuring that the codebase remains healthy and manageable over time. It's about pruning unnecessary parts and fostering good practices so that the code can grow sustainably.

Scientist's Hat
The scientist's hat is for experimentation and research. When you wear this hat, you're exploring new technologies, trying out different algorithms, or conducting performance benchmarks. It's about being curious and methodical in your approach to discovering new solutions.

Librarian's Hat
The librarian's hat is focused on documentation and knowledge sharing. With this hat on, you're writing clear documentation, creating tutorials, and ensuring that information is easily accessible to others. This helps in building a knowledge base that can be referred to by team members or the wider community.

Diplomat's Hat
The diplomat's hat is for collaboration and communication. When you wear this hat, you're working with other teams, stakeholders, or clients to understand their needs and ensure that everyone is on the same page. It's about negotiating requirements, managing expectations, and fostering a collaborative environment.
Growing up I was very interested in space and I had come to think of planetary evolution to be just sort of a process that reaches a natural balance that is "now".

These days a lot of the science I consume seems to have a better understanding of the past and that "balance" is just seen as a stage in ongoing planetary change.

Of course I thought of that evolution as just the outside of a planet, but it makes sense that the inside matters too.

It's interesting how different things can be along various stages and dynamics at play.

It's possible, but I don't think it would be necessary. I know multiple people who have lost weight on it, and it sells itself.

After years of talking about the overweight epidemic, there's now medication that solves it. It's impossible not to talk about, whether your angle is "too good to be true" or "amazing step forward for humanity" It's ripe journalism bait and if a journalist decides to investigate they are going to write an article. Even if they don't find anything of value.
Ok, but how do you balance that with the fact that Twitter did $1.3B in profit in 2024, double the highest adjusted EBITDA of Twitter which was $682 million in 2021? You're talking about a bunch of metrics that are not the one metric that matters in business.
At complete face value, I think I agree. At large, we used to have the phrase, "answer, then educate" in meetings. If someone asks a question, lead with the answer. But, crucially, be ready to expand with more.

It can be frustrating when you keep seeing what seem like low effort questions. At the same time, consider the frustration on the other side when you ask a question and then got a long answer that didn't exactly answer. Further, consider that frustration in reading a question online is something you bring to the situation. You can always not respond.

It’s not just restrict. Rust indeed does have much more strict rules that even though at first glance seem similar to C, the optimizer is allowed to do weird things if you violate a lot harder to understand rules. This has been very well documented.

For example, if I recall correctly it’s technically UB to cast to a *mut pointer unless the original variable was declared mut even if you have exclusive ownership over that object.

There was a fantastic blog post describing a lot of these nuances but I can’t find it.

Yeah, you need know your audience and make different diagrams for different reasons and different people.

> What point of “there is a lot of overlap” is difficult to understand?

The part where it would matter.

The "race realist" i.e. racist right likes to point out that there is a lot of overlap between certain racial groups and the criminal underclass. Statistically this is sort of true. Trying to use it to reason about any individual is logically known as the fallacy of division or ecological fallacy and colloquially known as "Nazi stuff". You may want to reassess your views that have you employing the same sort of guilt by association tactics that these groups do.

I am not a DOGE fan particularly and I am certainly very interested in whether this guy was a sextortionist or carder, but I'm not very interested in whether he was in a general scene with them.
> you have no idea how it feels like to know you have something wrong, but receiving nothing but shrugs from the experts

I remember telling this to my dad 8 years ago and he still thought of me as just being weak or a hypochondriac. "It's all in your head son!" he would say.

2 years ago he started losing function of his left leg. A very snarky "It's all in your head dad!" was my first response when he started complaining. That was the beginning of his journey into understanding what I've been going through all these years. Today his left leg no longer works and he is also losing function of his right leg. He has abnormalities on his MRIs and EMG/Nerve conduction tests. Even with this, doctors have not been able to diagnose him with anything and all he gets is shrugs. He's extremely frustrated with the US health system and has decided to just give up and wither away instead.

It's nice to finally be validated by my dad, but I wish he didn't have to go through the same experience just to show a little empathy and understanding. I think most of the people in this thread will similarly have an impossible time understanding our predicaments until it affects them the same way.

I don't see any evidence that the CIA counciled Ukraine to avoid war. I see a lot of evidence that they'd push for exactly the opposite. Even if they didn't meddle (which is straight unbelievable), they're cackling with happiness that their buffer state went to war.
A skinny person is far more likely to be healthier than an obese person.

I have a secret that I use to keep myself healthy because I watched as most everyone else in my family struggled with obesity and its related health issues.

But your comment reminds me of the times I overhear the ladies in the office trash-talking another coworker who decided to lose weight and become healthier. I've honest to god heard morbidly obese coworkers try to justify their size and claim that they are in fact healthier than our skinny coworkers.
...don't judge a project by its landing page. Especially if it's as well run as this one, by the looks of it.
Sure but if you didn't care about putting the work while being fat why would you care about putting the work now that you're skinny, especially now that you're skinny while providing 0 effort. The mindset is the same, maybe even worse because it perpetuate the idea that modern medicine will fix you up no matter how much you fuck up
High quality doesn't mean more time. It's a mistake to think that quality is extra work that is done after the functionality is completed.

I took a GLP-1 (Mounjaro) for a couple months then stopped. It wasn't all GLP-1 that did the work. I had to track my foods in my Vida app that my workplace pays for and I started walking 10k steps a day. In three months, my triglyceride count dropped from 340 to 92. My cholesterol is totally normal. My A1C went from 5.4 to 5.0. I stopped taking it in October but because I kept up with a diet that is less than 1900 calories a day that is high in fiber and protein, I continue to lose weight.

I am not diabetic and not insulin resistant so that totally helped.

My sleep apnea and IBS has been virtually eliminated altogether.

I do know other people who are on the medicine but haven't taken the proactive approaches like I did to properly track their food and incorporate exercise. So they'll never fully realize the weight loss benefits until that changes or they'll continue to take the GLP-1.

> To be fair to airports, the arrival side hasn't really changed post 9/11. If you check bags, that's on you - it's going to be slow to get your stuff.

Except it has changed in the last couple of decades (probably not due to 9/11, but still), because size and weight limits for hand luggage keep getting smaller and smaller. I have always travelled light and avoided checking in luggage except for very long stays abroad, but it's becoming increasingly difficult.

For example, both Qatar and Etihad (very common airlines to travel between Europe and Asia) now limit hand luggage to 7 kg (and in the case of Etihad, they don't even allow the typical "personal item"). 7 kg is laughably little, a standard cabin bag already weighs 2. Pack a laptop and you'll struggle to pack even summer clothes for a few days. Let alone winter clothes or -oh, the luxury!- buying some souvenirs at your destination.

Fortunately, in my experience, they mostly just don't look. But they could, if you're unlucky. And even if they don't, the dwindling limits also reduce practical slack, i.e. with a formal limit of 9 kg I would feel comfortable packing 10 or 11 because most airport staff probably wouldn't be strict about that, but with 7, packing 10 or 11 starts looking like a real gamble.
