The hypothesis was: is it beneficial to supplement vitamin D to reach the maximum levels achieved through sun exposure year-round?

Conclusion: these types of studies did not exist at the time, but the risks of doing such studies would be minimal, and such studies would be able to test for the effects of higher dose supplementation that were lacking at the time. Potential benefits include increased muscular strength and bone strength.

I have a personal rule which has worked really well for me: if I do a project, the price of doing that project is that I have to write about it.

Back when Twitter threads didn't suck (they could be viewed by people without Twitter accounts) I'd use those - tweet a description of my project with a link, then follow it with a few photos and screenshots.

These days I use my blog, with my "projects" tag: https://simonwillison.net/tags/projects/

I blog all sorts of other stuff, but if I was ever to trim back the one thing I'd keep doing is projects. If you make a thing, write about that thing. I wrote more about that here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Nov/6/what-to-blog-about/#pro...

Projects with a GitHub repository make this even easier: describe the project in the README and drop in a few screenshots - that's all you need.

(Screenshots are important though, they're the ultimate defense against bitrot.)

I have many projects from earlier in my career that I never documented or captured in screenshot form and I deeply regret it.
Hash functions are all you need.
And clean the fiber connector ends with a special cloth or cleaning liquid. Once, I had an intermittent link due to dust particles.

Fun fact 1: When you don't have a proper OTDR fiber tester to check for breaks, you can shine a laser pointer down the fiber and see it projected out on a sheet of paper on the other end (you might have to call the person on the other end).

Fun fact 2: If the other end is plugged into a transceiver, don't look at the fiber end directly; instead, look at it through your phone camera. If all is working correctly, you should be able to see a faint purple light out of one of the strands.

P.S. always remember to roll it if no link initially :)
I think curiosity is a nice trait to have. Whenever I have a question like the one quoted, i just do a quick search if I have the time to do so (and more often than not, you do). Or I just add it to my notes.

Instead of backing up the claim people swarmed me with hypothetical scenarios that don't prove that those scenarios were common enough to happen and cause a problem. I am not demanding your time. You were the one who joined the conversation smugly asserting you knew better than me. You could have just ignored me if you didn't want to answer my question.
A surprise attack in a hostile country, especially one using manned aircraft, is 100% classified, 100% of the time, for plainly evident reasons. Unless they discount that Goldberg knew about this attack in advance, which they have not done, they absolutely broached classified information.

Of course per Goldberg it was much worse. An active intelligence officer was in the chat group. Specific human targets (this was an assassination of members of Houthi) were detailed, as were specific ordnance and weapons used.

We'll see the story change quickly in coming days. Goldberg will release more information -- they say it is unclassified -- and immediately the story will kneejerk that he is a traitor putting the country in danger, or maybe that Trump waved his magic wand and declassified it in real time, etc. It's going to be hard for the cult to keep up with whatever the shifting talking points are.

I see that they've already embraced the "somehow he hacked into the group!" narrative that Waltz has shifted to this evening after previously admitting to erroneously inviting him to the group. Soon Goldberg will have burgled Waltz' house and nefariously added himself.
So you want Goldberg to release the classified information? The journalist is the only one who knew what he was doing.

It's useful knowing that the typical water wheel or James Watt steam engine which replaced it was only putting out 5--10 horsepower (~4--8 kW). Modern industrial plants require megawatts, and occasionally GW (e.g., aluminium smelting, electric-arc furnaces).
The CIA was approved to use signal but for certain applications. Probably because it was better than SMS. But not good enough for classified information.

You could see a CIA agent being in Russia needing to use Signal with an informant, e.g. But that wouldn't be the same level of security needed to hold nuclear secrets.

Goldberg is highly respected and has gone on the record to say that it was.

The obvious solution here is that if the Trump administration believe it isn’t classified then they simply need to release the transcript.

And it’s implausible that a chat room with Secretary of State, Defense, VP, National Security Advisor etc discussing the Houthis would not be classified.

Ask HN: Has the Landscape of the Internet Plateaued?
Not by any means saying there haven’t been increasingly impressive technical achievements in the last decade or so, but most of it feels like it's built to serve the Web 2.0/5G tech landscape rather than redefine it. With phones capable of streaming high-quality video, it kind of seems like both the phone and the web are in their final forms. For how fast-paced the growth of the internet and tech was from the turn of the millennium to the mid-2010s, it feels like we’re stuck with what we’ve got for the foreseeable future.

There's obviously some role senses play in development but there's clearly capabilities at play here that are drastically more efficient and powerful than what we have with modern transformers. While humans learn through example, they clearly need a lot fewer examples to generalize off of and reason against.
>No reason, whatsoever, for Signal to be used in this situation.

It sounds like the exact appropriate time to use Signal. It turns out that some high ranking official's jobs involve traveling to unfriendly or hostile countries. They still sometimes need to weigh in on classified communications. It was true back when Hilary was signing off on drone targets through text, and its true today.
The true test was "full to the brim", as in almost overflowing.

I started building an alternative to SSH at https://terminalwire.com that I think is more suitable for one-off commands run on a developer workstation against a SaaS. In more concrete terms, think of the stripe, heroku, and GitHub CLIs.

It’s similar to SSH in that it streams stdio from the server to a thin-client, but that’s where the similarities end. It has additional commands, like open a browser to a URL and set “cookies” on the client terminal from the sever.

When all of those commands are put together, you get something like https://github.com/terminalwire/demodx/blob/main/app/termina... that can open the users browser to an SSO, authorize the CLI, then set a token/nonce/whatever as a “cookie” in the users terminal so they can authenticate and run commands against the SaaS.

My intention isn’t to replace SSH—it’s still the best protocol for a lot of things, but I have found it cumbersome to use it to build CLIs for SaaS, which is why I built Terminalwire.

In reading deeper, many or most of these "classified" emails are comments on news stories that revealed information that another department would rather keep secret, such as news articles about CIA drone strikes, while the CIA at the time wouldn't acknowledge they had a a drone program.

Clinton argued at the time that such emails aren't and shouldn't be classified, since she didn't discuss any information sourced from the CIA, but only the publicly available news article. That seems to me to be at least a reasonable stance.
Not really. The killer feature of Signal isn’t the encryption it’s auto-deletion.

Which any CIA fork would not be able to keep since it violates FOIA laws.
Well the FBI investigated it already -- even though the Hillary Clinton investigation took years -- and said there would not be charges brought.

It's a win on government efficiency I guess (no more year long investigations). But also, this is clearly not the first time they used Signal, and it won't be the last.
A US public watchdog is now sueing for action to be taken.

The people in the chat group included Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, various other Trump administration officials and aides and notably Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

As American Oversight lawyers pointed out in their lawsuit Tuesday, Rubio is also the acting archivist of the United States and, as such, “is aware of the violations” that allegedly occurred.

The lawsuit, brought by the watchdog group American Oversight, requests that a federal judge formally declare that Hegseth and other officials on the chat violated their duty to uphold laws around the preservation of official communications.

Those laws are outlined in the Federal Records Act and, according to lawyers for American Oversight, if agency heads refuse to recover or protect their communications, the national archivist should ask the attorney general to step in.

There are four areas of damage here at least:

* Advance knowledge of US bombings and action was conveyed to a journalist (who didn't know if this was 'real' until the bombs he read about were dropped at the date, time, and locations he read about (and redacted from his reporting))

* Records of thes chats are not being preserved as required by US law for archives, transparency, etc.

* Diplomatic damage via raw opinions of allies shared.

* Reputational damage .. the USofA is now seen as having a meritless day drinking political hire as DoD head who is clueless about "OpSec" .. etc.

Time will tell how this buttery Signals chat plays out .. it's certainly given many other countries more fuel to ridicule the USofA, it's hard to believe these clowns are our partners in global "intelligence".
It depends on your sun exposure and kidney health. In the elderly with a compromised kidney, 4000 can push them over a sane limit. For most people though with minimal sun exposure, 4000-5000 is pretty good, and certainly will make them less sick. For optimal effect, stack with calcium and magnesium as citrate or better.
"Not raw" is actually generally an advantage, as it's possible to sort through landfills to find directly-usable materials, or those which can be fed to an electric arc furnace (presuming that level of sophistication), or a charcoal-fed blast furnace.

This isn't great, mind you, but it's a good start.

Steel has a relatively high melting point. Other metals, notably aluminium and copper can be worked at far lower, far more attainable temperatures.

Keep in mind that modern steelmaking really doesn't begin until the Bessemer process (1860s), and that was far more predicated on high-volume, high-quality fuels (anthracite coal) than it was in the input iron ore grade. Knowledge of and access to liquid oxygen, far better process (and temperature) controls, and improved metallurgy, through the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries have advanced smelting and fabrication even further.

NB: "Truck" means to barter or trade. A "truck farm" is one on which cash crops (rather than those for local consumption) are grown, usually vegetables rather than staple grains (wheat, maize, rice).

That is not true. Today at the hearing, the CIA director said there was no classified material. He was questioned if the event was a "huge mistake", and answered "No."

The journalist published the messages. The messages take almost no time to read and are very short.

He then proceeded to, a few sentences later, admit that it was a mistake.

This is patently false. As of the time of my making this comment, Goldberg has still withheld the messages containing the details of the plan of the attack.

If you could go back in time, would you? That whole "Butterfly Effect" thing is more than just a little terrifying when you start to wander down that rabbit-hole even a little bit. How completely screwed up could the future you return to end up bein', and does it just keep gettin' worse the more you try to "fix" it? Is finding out worth the risk of trying? Just feels like one of those "bells you cannot un-ring". I genuinely hope nobody ever actually invents real time travel. I just cannot see that playing out well at all.
Yup, early/mid 2010s brought a fundamental shift in priorities: less making stuff people wanted to use, more making stuff to lock people in and then enshittifying it, while raking in money from ads and subscriptions that are made intentionally hard to cancel.

Not to say your advice is bad, but I think in many cases course descriptions are so short and vague that they won't tell you much of use. Sometimes there can be useful info in there but reading through every course description could be pretty mind-numbing. What's more informative is if you can actually get detailed course info like a reading list, assignments, etc. Unfortunately these often aren't publicly available, but professors may share them if you ask via email and explain your situation.

I do agree that looking at the required courses and degree plan is important.
