> The acute hepatotoxicity caused by turmeric appears to be due to an idiosyncratic injury, perhaps immunologically mediated.

idiosyncratic means they don't know why (because they're idios?), but it happens to some people for unknown reasons. The chances are very slim that you'll have whatever pre-condition to be affected by this.
Many-- most?-- states have property tax rates capped for your primary residence. Otherwise property values going up can push you out of your home. Prop 13 goes further-- but many of the communities with the low tax income are precisely the ones full of single family homes rather than expansive commercial/industrial areas.

California ranks 19th in the country in per student spending -- so it's not wildly out of place compared to the rest of the country.

Moreover, Florida bus rates are at 30% and it ranks near the very bottom in per-student spend.

I think you should look elsewhere for the low bus rates than funding.
Duck – About Disk usage analysis tool with an interactive command line interface
Product work is super important - it's something I care about a lot. I think it's just different from infra work, like comparing woodworking tools to a dump truck. You're going to do a lot of fine-grained feature work with your woodworking tools, and if you scuff something up or break a piece, that's not too disastrous and can be fixed. But the dump truck can, like, destroy your warehouse, throw your inventory on to the highway, or explode. Even if there's a similar error rate in the auto-woodworking-tools to the self-driving-dump-truck, the dump truck's mistakes are too risky.

We should probably also distinguish overall quality from error rate. If the woodworking tools are producing crappy stuff, then there's no reason to use them at all. But if they produce mostly nice stuff, fast, but occasionally break a piece, they might be really useful.
> if you look at the function definition then you can't tell if the caller is passing a slice vs an array

You certainly can. If a function is `f(x []int)` it is illegal to pass a `[3]int` to it. And vice versa, if a parameter is `[3]int` you cannot pass in an `[]int` there.

> or an interface that is implemented on a pointer vs a struct. The semantics of the function parameter should not depend on how the function is being called.

In this case, the semantics of the parameter is the semantics of the interface in question. Whether that interface is implemented by a value or implemented by a pointer inside a particular user of the function is not relevant. This is good -- the decision of using pointer or value receivers on the user's struct, of course, should rest with the user.

AI Model History Is Being Lost
Yeah, it's a massive UX issue. The way to actually check if someone has a SAML session is to attempt to get their membership. If you get a 403, there isn't one. But good luck explaining to the user that they need to click "authorize" next to the organization in the OAuth flow. No way to send a hint that it may be required, and no way to do a step-up flow.

Yes they do. There have been broken by neoliberal policies for quite some time. Rich have gutted them out to force researchers into selling out to the private sector instead of just giving the fruits of the research to everyone under equal conditions.

Best Approach for brokerless Python workers?
I'm developing a custom tool that needs to coordinate multiple long-running worker processes for task execution without relying on external brokers like Redis or RabbitMQ. We want to avoid multiprocessing.Pool due to the setup time required for spawning new processes. Instead, we prefer persistent, warmed-up worker processes that can handle tasks efficiently.

Would ZeroMQ still be the best choice for this, or are there other alternatives with minimal overhead?
haha man you got so much to learn about the world fairness only exists in blogs and comments :)
Back in a day around ~2014 there were multiple alternatives with meaningful market share. However all of these products

- Lacked free trial

- Had multiple times more expensive price point for the first twee ($2000/mo)

- Where just worse (bad UI, documentation, etc.)

Cloudflare won and grow so big because it was just better product.
Show HN: My high school team’s space probe
Me and a few friends made this design document as part of our entry to the UK CanSat competition where a high school team is required to build a probe to be launched. The probe must serve some purpose, and ours was to map the temperature and pressure of the air at different altitudes.

We had the opportunity to launch it a week ago and you can find the video of our launch here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16bsLzxjP7OWRqVvCB62cLv7QYLR...

During the launch we reached 400m above sea level, and the can pulled 70gs successfully. The parachute and can stayed intact. Unfortunately, on the day, we were unable to successfully implement GPS.

The raw results are here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oK1vukjcNcsaXMAPeFlzZ66aHlR...
And a slightly cleaned up version is here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xYhkp3sWoJF0bCkkvFs1AygSdLU...

I used my data presentation software to present our results here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-r7lT0J4MDLiYfuaasDXJsr5rCA... The software (in the form of a python script to be executed in blender) can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LHP7OwgI_O8t6-NBI0ZPn9JUt2G... It's not pretty, but it works.

The differences in temperature and pressure results were exaggerated in the so that the gradient could be clearly seen.

Unfortunately, we did not get into the final (judged on this document) but it was an awesome experience nevertheless. The judges used this form to mark us: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eZnum5zuJvkLzY7RLtm9A-NNzxw... We would love to get any feedback from more experienced people, as we intend to do similar projects in the future and at least two of us want to be professional engineers. I'm happy to reply to any comments.
I am ex-finance. I didn't get paid for intellectual arguments:

> Saying that tariffs have a negative economic impact is totally valid,
> narrative explanations for market movements is a suckers game

So let me be clearer - I knew in November, that Trump's style of tariffs, were going to tank the economy, which would tank the stock markets which reflects the stock market.

The causatory force (not correlatory) of tarriffs is well known, and I've lived in the era where tariffs were commonplace. I've seen an entire economy rise from the ashes when tariffs and protectionism was removed.

You are hiding behind an intellectualism in a world where these kinds of blind spots mean someone else is taking your money.

I agree with DNA there, the world is such an endlessly interesting place that I can't understand how people don't find it mind blowingly fascinating.
Lest we forget, this is an option because others did figure out the expensive way how most of the things DeepSeek relies upon work. You might even call it research.

If you assume that they're equally productive, sure. Why assume that?
A non-technical friend was asking about the prospects of AI 'taking over' jobs. I told him that I'm less worried about 'Skynet' than I am about 'Slopnet', where bad takes on the applications of 'AI' just make life harder for all of us. That'll come more from decision-maker irrationality than from the tech itself.

That's an interesting example! Perhaps too out-of-distribution, though. For fair comparison with other methods, we used the DIV2K training set in our paper, which only comprises 800 images.

Yes. But from a disk.
I've been back and forth whether notebooks are really "best practice".

Currently leaning towards no, as they are hard to test, compose, and version control (it is possible, but you need bespoke notebook-specific tools, and most just don't).
I'm not a classic Mac OS expert, but the way it works seems extremely convoluted and un-Apple-like. Instead of copying the mini system folder to the desktop and asking the user to copy the files to the real system folder, couldn't they just automatically copy the files to the system folder?

Yes, but the real question is: Why are they able to do that? I understand we're debating nuances here, but my concern is about the overall impression the title gives. It positions DeepSeek as some kind of higher ideal, yet the article achieves this impression by deliberately overlooking key facts.

For example, why can Google afford to run Waymo, a self-driving car company? Is it because Google prioritizes self-driving cars and safety over profit?

No. It's because Google's core business—selling advertisements, monetizing personal data, and essentially profiting from surveillance—generates enormous amounts of money.

With all of this said. I am a fan of DeepSeek and the amount of openness they have.

Mullvad is Swedish for "mole". Mull is a word for soil, and "vad" seems to come from "vada", wade. So translated it would be "soilwade".

To me, it sounds like just another word.
I should've tested this endpoint. GitHub's SAML implementation is done by a different team, always lags behind in quality and does some pretty unclean patching of the data - i.e. the notification filtering is done in the templating engine, so if all your notifications are SAML gated you get the header, no "all caught up" below it and (this is live from my account) "1-0 of 113".

So I'd give it about a 50:50 chance of working.

Edit: I just realized it eats your non-gated notifications too, if they're further down than position 25, and the "Next" button just leads to the same page with "?query=". Yay, another ticket about how glued on GitHub Enterprise Cloud is. The last one (GitHub eats API calls to accept invites to SAML organizations, deletes the invite, and sends a 200, writes success to the audit log... but ends up being a no-op) only has been 2 months or so ago. Thanks Microsoft.

I am pretty sure the law does not have an option of "be escorted to the nearest international airport/exit at deportee's cost", but in this case, having an option to leave yourself in 48h or face even harsher bans would have likely worked.

Sure, power on for 24/7/365 from Solar + Wind + Battery alone is hard; and 99% uptime is more expensive than 95% because of the batteries needed.

However when talking about rural communities that might not have power at all, or run a diesel generator in the evenings, that 95% from clean sources is a good start.
People virtually never say “logarithm” in use though. They either say “log” or they say “lun” for natural log. Notice that both log and lun are one syllable, easy to pronounce etc.

Tyler Cowen, master of the ‘cum hoc ergo propter hoc’ fallacy. He frequently mistakes the occurrence of phenomena for causative proof of that phenomena. He particularly exhibits this inclination when his confidence rises amid scant data (like the rest of us).

This error seems to be a particularly common (and often lauded!) trait among those who work in high-conjecture low-evidence fields (eg, economics). The prominent thinkers become skillful at deploying this fallacy: “see, it’s there, therefore <insert-personal-belief> is certainly the cause!”, using their credentials and esteem to mask the error. Listeners think, “well he’s a smart, respected guy,” and nod along despite the missing logical link.

I greatly appreciate Cowen’s podcast, and I definitely respect him as a thinker and inquisitor – so I don’t mean to discard his work or opinions (in fact, I appreciate his occasional brashness because it exposes the underlying thought/principle). However, many of his aggressive-yet-speculative statements (like the one you roughly quoted) are best received with an understanding of the error.
Sibling comment already explains the open weights part; even if there was some small binary wrapper involved, it’s trivial to stop if from phoning home.
Humans actually aren't particularly aggressive compared to other animals. The reason human-human conflicts are so deadly is that we're rather fragile and have a very long maturation period.
So true... The Democrats would be a right wing political party in most European countries... The Republicans on the other hand are closer to extreme-right parties such as the Rassemblement National in France or the Aternative für Deutchland in Germany. By the way, the only leader that Vance met with was the leader of the AfD in Germany, which is pretty telling of their political orientation... In the UK, Elon Musk, for instance, is closer to Farage than to any other English leaders, which again shows an extreme-right trope from the current Republican administration.
Idk about others, I’d pay one time for specific features done once and never touched again. Cause I can measure my suffering and workarounds costs, and I have a sense of efforts and ownership.

I’d even pay for forks of software that simply allow to modify their basic internals without providing any specific features, so I could augment them with programming without hard reveng (which often fails with no result). Like setting custom shortcuts in firefox.

But software doesn’t offer that. It wants me to pay monthly money for features I don’t really like on average, and they may take away anything in the next update, irreversibly. Just because someone felt like doing so, cause users can’t take away paid money in return.

I guess I wanted to say that “willing to pay” depends on what you are selling. And what “they” are selling is usually some no-guarantees always mutating fad rather than features you need.

There’s another nuance in supporting existing software even without new features. These costs are already way above all limits and must be forced down by re-designing text and image scrolling to where it should be, complexity-wise.

It wasn't just coming up with a system that works for software and taking a cool name from manufacturing processes.

The methods in IT were built on the same principles (and, to a degree, values). It's just the implementation is different. In fact, in software, we emulate some things that are given in manufacturing. A notable example is making work visible. On a factory floor, piles of parts are clearly visible. The code in progress is not. Thus, we have index cards representing queues of work (piles of incomplete parts).

The approach to limiting work in progress is actually the same. Again, the solutions differ (replenishment triggered by visual cards in manufacturing versus numerical WIP limits on visual boards in software), but the outcome remains very similar.

There are differences, of course. The big one is how we react to variability. While in manufacturing, we, well, manufacture a lot of identical things, in software, each item is different. Thus, on a factory floor, we aim to control and reduce variability, while in software, we tend to accept and work around it.

There are other differences in flavor, too. Like in knowledge work we don't stress too much about waste reduction, while in manufacturing, it's a big theme, etc.

However, if we look at the ideas and not specific implementations, these systems are very similar. And I'm saying it as someone who trained people in that domain both in knowledge work and manufacturing.

Not that any of this helps with confusion in the naming. Even less so given the fact that some people are arguing the seemingly fundamental differences between using kanban (lowercase k) and Kanban (capital K). I guess people are people.I don't much care. As long as someone can explain what they mean by it, I'm fine with whatever naming they come up with.
The Uralic word for slave is very archaic and dates to well before they became sedentary. The Uralic tribes came into contact with the Aryas people on the steppes, and won battles with them enough to take captives as slaves, calling them orjat.
i've been dreaming of a way that visualises the user flows in the software (rather than cards on a board), think spider map showing possible user flows then colour coded circles based on what stage they're in.

that way you can see what state an entire flow is in at a glance and being able to co-ordinate effort accordingly.
