> Scientists at the Cancer Research UK Health Behaviour Unit, University College London, wondered if children were reluctant to eat any unfamiliar foods, or whether they were selectively rejecting certain types – perhaps those most likely to pose a threat to heath. Early in human history, the presence of toxins within many plants made eating fruit and vegetables risky for children, while meat carried a high risk of food poisoning.

That was from 2003... article from the same author in 2005: Age and gender differences in children's food preferences - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15975175/

And the term to look for is Neophobia (related article from 2022 Neophobia—A Natural Developmental Stage or Feeding Difficulties for Children? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9002550/ )

> 4. Causes of Food Neophobia
The source of food neophobia can be traced back to evolution when a neophobic attitude protected mammals from consuming potentially poisonous food. As an omnivorous species, to survive, humans had to distinguish between safe and poisonous food. Although this ability has lost its value today, it can still be observed in children around 2 years of age (sometimes earlier), when unfamiliar foods or foods served differently than before cause anxiety in the child, and a relative preference for familiar foods is apparent.

I had created an hackernews post about ideas and whatnot and I had also gotten such similar advice.

Yeah , you're most likely right. But as the next HN commentor (darkhorse13) just below it said , Its just too tempting to not do it.
The executive branch churns every 4 years, and is forced to churn at least every 8 years.

That only applies to political appointees. The rank and file are permanent employees (or were until a few weeks ago).

Anyways, not saying your idea couldn't work, only that it's not easily implemented and needs a lot of consideration to do well. It's a wholesale change to how we've governed ourselves for ~150 years. But, the idea of a permanent set of legislative experts has some appeal.
Hi, I’ve read a lot of your comments, and you are going to get short shrift for it.

The core issue is the idea that they are incentivized to act in good faith.

Theres a great article which was shared here:

The idea here is that since its the right thing to do, firms will do the right thing.

> fusion plants can't be used to make bombs

Helion's reactor, if it works, could become a source of the cheapest neutrons on the planet. It would greatly enable nuclear proliferation by providing neutrons for breeding of fissionable material for bombs.

A 50 MW DD reactor would produce enough neutrons to make half a ton of plutonium per year. Remember, none of these neutrons have to be turned around to make tritium, as they would have to be in a DT reactor.

Now there are some agendas in Project 2025 that are fine, some that are pretty out there. So yeah there will be overlap in policies.

Just wanted to point out you were wrong about their strategy. There's a name for it it's called "Flood the zone" and it's older than Project 2025.

US intellectualism is patchy. Sure a lot of people are not into it but on the other hand you probably have more well paid academic posts than any other country.
I assume GP meant that a lot of compilers also interpret and interpreters also compile.

For compilers, constant folding is a pretty obvious optimization. Instead of compiling constant expressions, like 1+2, to code that evaluates those expressions, the compiler can already evaluate it itself and just produce the final result, in this case 3.

Then, some language features require compilers to perform some interpretation, either explicitly like C++'s constexpr, or implicitly, like type checking.

Likewise, interpreters can do some compilation. You already mentioned bytecode. Producing the bytecode is a form of compilation. Incidentally, you can skip the bytecode and interpret a program by, for example, walking its abstract syntax tree.

Also, compilers don't necessarily create binaries that are immediately runnable. Java's compiler, for example, produces JVM bytecode, which requires a JVM to be run. And TypeScript's compiler outputs JavaScript.
Is there a paper? I think I get how they did their training, but I'd like to understand it more.

Bond doesn't really have a deep canon. They long ago moved on from the source material, and the first 20 movies were connected only in the loosest sense. For Craig's movies they tried to make a cross-movie continuity, but it didn't really work and required some retconning.

But the movies do have a unique sort of character and consistency that is widely believed to be due to one family running the show for 60+ years. I'm not sure that be replicated with a data-driven, committee-based approach. I also believe it was Broccoli's veto power that prevented over-saturation, and direct-to-streaming releases.

My guess is it will be closer to Star Wars than Lord of the Rings or Wheel of Time. Some of the movies may be "good" and some may be "bad", but they'll be missing that bit that made them special.
> If you consume a whole-foods diet, with a dinner that has a larger meat component, you will easily, easily have enough fiber.

I mostly agree but not with the easy part: you thirst has a maximum and people can’t ingest as much food they want without a limit. If you have a large meat component there’s less space in your belly for the vegetables. The point for carbs is the same (they cut your satiety and you’ll be less hungry for the cauliflower). Thought I get your point that a diet including meat isn’t bad in itself, but if you look around the biggest meat eaters are not the fittest, however the opposite might often be true.

You're not alone in this matter. I myself as well also seem to by driven by such.

I have gotten some crazy ideas which I have implemented / are in the back burner (currently a student , but oh man)

This advice is generally right though. I also wish that there is an ideal way of doing things , like how linux manages the kernel he likes and he can live decently or some other project.

You might look at source-based like posthog , some api project used to be like this.

Its really hard earning money in open source. But if you do , that is all so great. Also starred your repo.
I think the problem they should be considering more acutely is, eventually the number of people trained in that specialized knowledge will go to 0, and they will then be paying the cost to either train more (and the increased risks of less familiar people) or replace the whole thing with no backup plan.

There should be plenty. 48-54 VDC is the standard for OCP powershelf designs. Hyperscalers such as Google have been working for nearly two decades now to eliminate voltage conversion steps. When I left, the power plane within the server PCB ran at the busbar voltage, which could float up to 54VDC. Given this, I'd expect them to convert from 48-54VDC down to 3.3 directly or at most something like 5VDC and then use smaller VRs near components such as ram and cpu.
Sorry to say I'm in almost an identical seat. I broke my thumb and have a gnarly but closed tuft fracture - after 4 weeks I saw a specialist who said there wasn't much healing or bone growth yet, and so decided to do a more aggressive splinting and lock down the whole thumb for another 4 weeks.

Oddly enough I had a similar injury 10 years prior on a different finger and that healed up in 6 weeks as if nothing ever happened to it.
> Survivorship bias

GIF, JPEG, MP3... these are all patented technologies whose patents have expired into the public domain. That they're still used and useful today is a very strong indication that they'll be available in another 50 years. I think that having public patents for image and audio formats helps to demonstrate that it's more than just survivorship bias.

WTF are you talking about? What govt agency does haven't oversight the way DOGE does? Stop lying.

Define "totally unique hypothesis" in this context. If the training data contains studies with paths like A -> B and C -> D -> E, and the AI independently generates a proof linking B -> C, effectively creating a path from A -> E, is that original enough? At some point, I think we're going to run out of definitions for what makes human intelligence unique.

> It also seems impossible to verify if this was actually the case.

If this is a thinking model, you could always debug the raw output of the model's internal reasoning when it was generating an answer. If the agent took 48 hours to respond and we had no idea what it was doing that whole time, that would be the real surprise to me, especially since Google is only releasing this in a closed beta for now.

Jumping into a complex system and trashing big swathes of it without taking the time to understand why it's there, what it does, and the consequences for destroying it will be, is one of the worst possible ways to 'reduce waste' that I can think of.

That is what I asked for, yes.

Be clear about what you're saying. If you hesitate to to just say what you believe, that's probably a good indication that some introspection would be worthwhile.
I was actually a member of a "cohousing" community for a while, which is similar to what you describe. If you're not familiar with the concept, I recommend looking into it, as I think you'd find it appealing: https://www.cohousing.org/

I'd still say that if the primary goal is saving money, there are better options to consider. If there are 20 single family homes living the "default" lifestyle of such a home, there are probably more than 20 cars (probably approaching 40). Can this community work out a system of sharing cars (and the costs associated with those cars)? How few cars can this group of people reasonably get by with if they are sharing?

Another option is having one big tool shed where everything inside is shared. Each single family home, by default, would probably own their own lawn mower. But a community of 20 households probably only needs to own one or two.

That said, I think there are other benefits of a big community project like a community chicken coop. It's good for building relationships with other people, it's fun, and the eggs do taste good. You could draw up a simple calendar and decide who is responsible for taking care of the chickens each day if you wanted, and that'd probably make things easy (although, tbh, one or two people will probably need to be "in charge" of the chicken coop, and following up if something falls through the cracks).
A community chicken coop also makes it much easier to take a week-long vacation or whatever, because you know that someone will take care of things. When we had a chicken coop (in our single family house, not part of a larger community), finding someone to care for it was kind of a large task before we could actually leave our home for an extended amount of time.

As the commenters above note, the "upgrade" to AGPL was both highly profitable to Lowagie and caused many to shift to an open-source fork.

IMO forks are the great leveler; if your brand strength and your ongoing investment in engineering + community make a license shift viable (and if you retain the trust of your contributors) then everybody wins... but if you make a license shift and just rest on your laurels, forks will destroy your value. I don't know enough about the history to know what happened in this case, but based on the successful exit, I imagine it's somewhere between these two extremes.

A recent post from a crypto reporter gave a good write up of how he almost got himself scammed [1]. It sounds like it followed the exact same script, even down to the Aunt with a crypto trading firm. The lengths that the scammers went to in order to prepare him for the scam was impressive. It gives some personal insight into how even those who should know better find themselves involved.

And then he went to speak at an AFD rally so I guess we are back at the Nazi interpretation
I was trying to say that the average american does care, but the average politician does not care. But the point is that recently there has been a reason to pretend to care. i.e, to oppose dodge. They need a reason to oppose dodge and concerned for privacy has that "for the people" tone to it. So the insane part is how a cause like privacy suddenly is important when there is a political need for it to be important, i.e, to find a reason to oppose dodge. When the opposing party is trying to solve a problem you as a politician you need to oppose it. It doesn't matter if it is good or bad. You as the opposing party need to find the bad side of it. And the reason cannot be "I am in the opposing party" or "because I want to be the one to solve the problem". It has to be a possible real reason. So which came first actual concern for privacy or the need to be concerned for privacy. Clearly the need to be concerned for privacy. This kind of why two party system works, because you always have someone opposing what you are doing even if it is right, just to keep it in check.
Ask HN: Anyone Else Having Problems with Cloudflare?
So for about the last month I noticed when I go to worldcat.org I get a 404 + an empty JSON object. The OCLC/worldcat guys have been helpful but I finally noticed their site is sitting behind CloudFlare and then I noticed half of the URLs I visit at w3.org and nginx.com are borked. I tried to search CloudFlare's help page, but it requires you to log-in and (of course) I can't log in 'cause they've black-holed my IP or ASN. And while I have a call in with the CloudFlare sales staff, I'm not confident I'll get a response.

So... just curious... anyone else seeing this behaviour? Will I have to apply for a job with them so I can ask them why they black-holed my ASN in the interview? I'm not above doing that, it's just irritating CF wants to black-hole small ISPs.
From my brief experience, it seems that reversing old games is one of those disciplines where there is no good step-by-step course. One can start learning some theory (I did so by reading “The Art of Assembly Language Programming” – if I had more time, I'd try “Reverse Engineering for Beginners”) but then one has to get his hands dirty. Real-life games are typically not simple, but one usually just needs to reverse some small parts to produce new interesting modifications.

But surely reading tutorials is useful to learn techniques and tricks. I recommend this article to start: https://www.lodsb.com/reversing-lz91-from-commander-keen (not totally for beginners, but very friendly, and it can help to get used with the jargon). I am also publishing war stories on this topic on my blog (marnetto.net).
I don't see any on the front page at the moment -- are there some specifically that come to mind?

Is H5N1 the cause of current egg prices, or an excuse? From the article:

Egg prices may be impacted for reasons beyond the scarcity of laying hens due to bird flu. Farm Action, a farmer-led advocacy group, has written to the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, requesting an investigation into “potential monopolization and anticompetitive coordination” by the egg industry. “While avian flu has been cited as the primary driver of skyrocketing egg prices, its actual impact on production has been minimal,” the group wrote. “Instead, dominant egg producers . . . have leveraged the crisis to raise prices, amass record profits, and consolidate market power.

There are a couple of options for acquiring crypto without KYC. One might sell goods and services for crypto (I have done it myself, sold a videogame console P2P through a local libertarian group chat), or buy crypto with cash via P2P or in a country with looser KYC laws, and lastly they could just mine it themselves. Having significant money through mining might seem improbable, but we can't forget the market dynamics, someone might have mined a lot of some altcoin before a big boom (e.g. dogecoin) and ended up rich overnight.

Also, let's not forget Monero. Even if you buy Monero in a KYC exchange, the letterbois can only track if you've bought, but can't track where you send it to next. You could then exchange it for bitcoin with someone or using a non-KYC service, and there you have it, an anonymous BTC reserve. Or you could just bypass BTC altogether and use the much superior Monero to buy whatever you want.
