About ten years ago both my wife and I had to switch to extremely low caffeine coffee because we would get panic attacks. It still happens now, just this week we were accidentally served caffeinated coffee at breakfast diner and both were having panic attacks by 4pm.

It's absolutely wild that I can drink a mug of a beverage that everyone else drinks by the liter but be crippled with anxiety. Brain chemistry is weird.

Luxury? Where the people live? Luxury looks and feels and costs and drives differently.

Tesla is upper middle class (model S) or lower, just with potentially more horsepower in some models. It has great straight line performance and thats about it, but then ie dragsters should be in ultra-luxury class by that logic.

Enormous number of edits needed to achieve what specifically? Hairiness?

OOH... any hairy elephant they produce will be "mammoth enough" for most. Elephant + Hairy = Mammoth. It won't be the same species/subspecies as extinct mammoths, but it'll be a mammoth.

OTOH, any number of edits will be insufficient for others. It won't be the extinct species, just an artificial hybrid.

IMO... this is one that's best left as a fantasy. The moment there a little herd of resurrected mammals exist in a zoo as real life animals is the moment the mystique will dissipate.

Vacuuming one's bed makes complete sense to me, but what is special about the model you linked to that makes it specifically a 'mattress' vacuum cleaner? Many canister vacuum cleaners are more powerful and can be used elsewhere in the home too (with a different attachment for hygiene, of course). There's the UV light, but I can't see how this is effective when used only for short periods of time. The dust won't be removed with it and the mites will withstand it too.

Not wanting to make you feel bad about your purchase, but is there something unique about this kind of device that gives it an edge over conventional vacuum cleaners?
Oh yeah, forgot HN supported some markdown.

> But what if Putin thinks that unless he takes Ukraine, Russia will cease to exist (or Putin will cease to exist). In that scenario, taking Ukraine is an existential goal for Russa, and he will blow up the world unless he wins.

Russia's nuclear arsenal is a perfectly adequate guarantee of Russia's security. Putin knows this, which is why he's happy to leave Russia's western border with NATO practically undefended while he pursues Ukraine. (This also disproves the "Putin invaded Ukraine because he's afraid of NATO" lie.)

It's more plausible that Putin's survival depends on the outcome of the Ukraine war. But "mad Putin blows up the world" is as much a problem for the Russians as anyone else.

"A 2016 survey by Nature on 1,576 researchers who took a brief online questionnaire on reproducibility found that more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiment results (including 87% of chemists, 77% of biologists, 69% of physicists and engineers, 67% of medical researchers, 64% of earth and environmental scientists, and 62% of all others), and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments."

Well the issue is that an experiment with 1 person can’t prove much because you can’t have a control group.

Too much other stuff is changing in a single persons life that could account for all observed side effects.

You also have latent side effect issues. A person could smoke for 10 years, not smoke for another 10, and then conclude that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Then they get lung cancer 20 years later.

Excellent data and statistics is not sufficient for a good experiment

I have interest and hard question for you. Please read carefully and answer very seriously.

1. It is obvious, Trump moves lead to shrink federal govt spending and with high probability could shrink national debt and lower taxes.

2. It is obvious, after market shrink could be great grow, because market economy tends to expansion, and it will be even better because lowered debt.

3. It is not so obvious, but after great wars, like in Ukraine now, appear large demographic problems, so significant grow could begin only after demography will return to health state.

So questions are:

1. Do you think, Trump administration could so much affect demography, so it could brake market down? How this could be done in US?

2. If you are not considering significant demographic problems, please explain, from where you considering market brake?

> he had given $1000 to an anti-abortion NGO

That's not what he did. He donated for California's Prop 8, which opposed same-sex marriage, in 2008. I'm personally not judging, as many US progressives have forgotten that during those days, even Obama opposed same-sex marriage. But it's important to get the facts straight, even when being sarcastic.

> Then they spent their time politicking and not enough coding.

Mozilla's management certainly is guilty of blunders, but I'm pretty sure the developers who have worked on Mozilla don't feel like they've spent time “politicking”.

The failure of Firefox in the marketplace starts from the fact that it's pretty hard to compete with a browser that's funded with more than 1 billion $ per year. And people may not remember much about the launch of Chrome, but it was literally years ahead of its competition. Have a look at its famous comic book, with which it was announced, describing its design and philosophy, and count the years it took for the competition to catch up (across the board, including Safari): https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/

I mean, sure, you can blame that on politics, but I don't think anyone was able to stop the decline and when Brendan Eich resigned, people were already talking about Chrome's hegemony and Firefox dying.

Same UI across all cars and one less thing of business creating an avenue / exit for your data.

I get into a rental car, I connect my iPhone and use CarPlay, I don’t have to worry about leaving my contacts data behind or anything else, and I am already familiar with the UX.

That is why Tesla and Rivian and GM don’t offer CarPlay, even though it is free and easy to implement. They don’t want people to be able to easily switch cars, they don’t want to just be a fungible appliance.

But as a consumer, I do want them to be a fungible appliance.

You have it the opposite way round. The UK (for example) never gave a chickenpox vaccine because it reasoned to do so increases the risk of shingles, and shingles is more serious than chickenpox. Also chickenpox is so mild that administering a national vaccination programme is of dubious benefit, the money can be more effectively spent elsewhere.

The JCVI might have recently changed recommendation but whether it is worth the cost/benefit is another matter.

Show HN: AI Enhanced YouTube Immersion for Learning Japanese
Hi,

I built this to help myself learn Japanese, and thought it could benefit others too. It's designed to be super customizable based on how you want to learn.

The most unique features:
- Can show you the grammar breakdown and explanation of every subtitle seamlessly
- Can configure such that example sentences and SRS review only use videos that you saved into album
- it's web-based so viewable on any device

It's still in early stages, and looking to continue improving it. Would love to get some feedback.

Thank you!

You refer to yourself on the website, but we know nothing of you or your story. Also the connection to Finland would be curious too. That said, I have wished similar for some Finnish words when they get 'smushed' together. It's not always obvious that it's two words, and you can potentially break it apart to get the meaning easier.

Some more anecdata: magnesium greatly reduces annoying muscle twitches for me. I get them quite frequently when I don't take magnesium for a while. Magnesium citrate is easily available here, without added vitamin b6. No side effects from what I've observed over the years.
The jury is out on that.

Little known fact: a while ago Russia doubled the sign-in bonus fot contractors to approximately $4.5k to keep the flow of people going. With Trump taking office this produced a wave of recruits who are betting on the chance that the war will be over before they finish training and actually arrive to the front.

Some of them are already there and the results are not good (for them).

I'm not saying the situation isn't difficult, but it doesn't serve the free world to see Russia as this unstoppable force, as it paints efforts at helping Ukraine as pointless.

It's mostly marketing. Google spent lots of money both for external marketing and for Google-property banners that advertise Chrome. There were years you basically couldn't visit a popular website without being told to install Chrome. Then there were billboards and paper ads on top of that.

There were feature differences for sure, but the marketing did a massive amount of work in this case. If people switched for features, all that spending for years wouldn't be necessary.

I did expect SSR to be generally quite slow, but ~34 rps on the VPS is below my expectations. If I understand the blog post correctly, this tests an essentially static site with no DB requests. That would be pretty abysmal performance for something like that.

I'd be really concerned to have to work around a performance limitation like that in a more complex app.
Effect types have many good properties, the most important of which being that they provide clear semantics for the composition of multiple different kinds of effects (like exceptions and async).

But I disagree that they are a good solution to "error handling", because a single solution cannot cover all situations. For example, should the indexing function on arrays have an error effect? It'll taint every function that indexes an array even if the function cannot possibly go out of bounds. Same thing with situations like integer overflow, should every function that does integer arithmetic have an error effect?

Unchecked exceptions (or "panics" as the new languages like to call them, rose by any other name and all that) are clearly the superior solution for situations like that, what I like to call "contract violations".

The Elm language does not have effect types, it just uses Result types, and is vehemently against exceptions. The outcome of that is that division by 0 returns 0 because tainting every function that divides two integers with a Result type would be bonkers. Personally I find turning an erroneous situation into a "safe default" that isn't really safe to be a very silly thing to do, specially for a language that proudly claims to have no runtime errors (just logic errors instead I guess?)

At the other end you have Python iterators throwing an exception when they complete, which is one of the weirdest design decisions I've ever seen. How is an iterator reaching the end of the thing it is iterating an exceptional situation?

This last one really boggles my mind.

Apple introduced its Retina MacBook 10 years ago today
If Google is still paying the maintainers of chromium what would change in your example?

The real question is what happens when Google stops paying Mozilla and Apple unthinkable amounts of money for Google search to be the default on their browsers?

It seems clear that Mozilla intends to just become an ad company themselves and who knows what Apple's response will be, I doubt it's going to be to increase the amount of development on Safari vs where they currently are.

So if Google has to effectively divest from Chromium but still supports it's development but now isn't paying the only two current competitors what is the expected outcome there? Whoever now owns Chromium becomes even more of a monopoly, and Google doesn't even need to pay them to make Google the default for it to be implied they are to be the default or the developers go away.

Maybe in the actual long term we will see an improvement from this decision, but all I see in the short - midterm is more invasive user tracking in all current browsers that isn't Safari, which you can only use on Apple devices anyway.
I take L-theanine for ADHD

1. Theanine is an analog for Glutamate and Glutamine.
2. Due to indirect relationships to ADHD, Depression, etc. no one take Theanine by itself...I do not.
3. When drugs are created we often have incomplete pictures, for example SSSrIs for depression...we now know its both low levels in serotonin and GABA combined...bias yes I take Theanine, GABA and Glutamine for depression and it does work.

One experiment on oneself means very little...I know as I spent 36 months finding the combo that works for my depression and ADHD.

There are no "outbreaks" since sanitiation and nutrition improved, so people who aren't completely immunocompromised won't get any serious side effects from it.

Unless you brainwash them that other's children are more important that his own.

An experiment of 1 person can very well produce useful data.

It depends on the setup of the experiment.

Imagine an experiment where a person's thumb gets randomly hit with either a hammer or a feather once per day. And they then subjectively rate the experience. After 1000 days of collecting data, I doubt that we would wrongly come to the conclusion that the hammer treatment leads to the nicer outcome.

The setup of the Theanine experiment which is the basis of this thread looks good on first sight. I have the feeling that the interpretation could use more thought though.

> There is very rarely ever a situation in which Good vs Evil is a correct or useful framing, even if it may be a comforting and inspiring story to tell ourselves.

To use the example already given, how about Ukraine? I have a very hard time not placing that in a good vs evil framing.

It’s true that Ukraine isn’t perfectly good, and Russia isn’t purely evil, but it’s pretty damn close.

Here’s a nation that was just keeping to themselves and growing closer to the ones that didn’t want to annex them (surprise surprise) and the evil overlord thought that was too threatening and decided to pre-emptively annex them.
