Chickpea and Spinach Curry lists 6 ingredients:

chickpeas: 200 g
spinach: 100 g
coconut milk: 200 ml
onion: 1 units
garlic: 2 cloves
cumin: 15 g

However the video on "how to make" which appears to be just a YouTube search and not a specific video(?) shows the chef using more spices, and other ingredients not listed.

Not a huge deal, but aligning the "how to make" with the ingredients would be key for me using tool like this. I'm already overwhelmed thinking about how to purchase the 4+ Indian spices recommended for this (very yummy looking) dish.

I would guard against "arguing from the extremes". I would think "on average" compact is more helpful. There are definitely situations where compactness can lead to obfuscation but where the line is depends on the literacy and astuteness of the reader in the specific subject as already pointed out by another comment. There are ways to be obtuse even in the other direction where written prose can be made sufficiently complicated to describe even the simplest things.

For real. The sibling comment is flagged now but people seem to have memoryholed the impact of COVID on the healthcare system.

Hospitals were absolutely overwhelmed at many points during parts of the pandemic, outside of the first month. That was a major concern during the "surges" and spread of new variants.

I know this because my state routinely publishes hospital census levels and at many points during the pandemic elective and even non-elective procedures had to be cancelled due to lack of bed and staff capacity. The facility I work at was regularly impacted.

Search hospital related COVID stories during 2021 and 2022 and you'll find plenty.

I see two issues, let's say "opportunities":

First is the limitation to one hue value. Something like the Sunflower (blue + yellow) is just yellow. Maybe there's a tradeoff that could pack more hue but with less luminescence.

The second is how the primary color is selected. Several images (plant on grey background, street food vendor) appear to be averaging across the image and getting a grey value. By selecting better for the predominant color and its placement, the greys would appear on their own.

FWIW, I’ve been toting around the 16” M-series models since they launched and recently picked up a 13” Air and have yet to see this occur. Haven’t heard reports of it from coworkers or friends either. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but I suspect there’s a particular action or pattern of behavior that makes it more likely, such as placing it under heavy objects or packing it in tightly with books or something like that.
TL;DR: He doesn't discuss politics with his friends because he thinks he's more rational than them.
Both would have to happen. There's very little slack in the labor market to absorb anything. Even if legal permanent residents take up manufacturing jobs, they'd have to give up whatever jobs they have now creating a shortage. And given then even most undocumented people are working, someone needs to fill those jobs.
A licensing deal between Nintendo and Valve. Once could dream. Get the entire Steam lib on your Switch, then Valve gets a "Zelda: Breath of the Wild 3 - Only on Nintendo" store listing on Steam.
I don't want to get into this on this discussion because...well. video games. But consider the following: The organization and customers benefits from meritocratic hiring of the best candidates. But individual hiring managers have biases either for specific people (nepotism) or against groups of people (bigotry). Those individuals would be acting against the best interests of the company and customers whether they act consciously or not. A responsible company would adapt hiring processes to remove that kind of bias otherwise everyone suffers. The company suffers due to lower efficiency and blind spots in their points of view. Customers suffer due to worse output by the company. Some individual candidates suffer by being denied opportunities based on attributes they have no control over (gender, race, physical appearance) instead of the merits of their education, experience, and talents.

There's no single way to do this but people have lumped them all together and called them "quotas" (they're not, at least not in responsible processes). It really does a disservice to the fact that it's encouraging meritocratic hiring. Because for most of the 20th century (and even still today) employment was and is stratified by race and gender, not ability.

> Are we at least agreed that the content of the thought "tiger" is not the same thing as the brain state that makes it up?

No. I don't agree that "the content of [a] thought" is something we can usefully talk about in this context.

Thoughts are subjective experiences, more or less identical to qualia. Thinking about a tiger is actually having the experience of thinking about a tiger, and this is purely subjective, like all qualia. The only question I can see worth asking about it is whether the experience of thinking about a tiger has some component to it that is not part of a fully described brain state.

> If a tiger is distinct from a brain state, which I think we agree on, and if our thoughts are about real things such as tigers,

We also have thoughts about unreal things. I don't see why such thoughts should be any different than the ones we have about real things.
He's essentially asking to explain the moral difference between a rock and a book, but then got offended when I explained that even if there were moral cases for either (rocks can be used to build or thrown for violence - books can teach good things and terrible things), comparing the two is impossible.

I remember once debating an environmentalist, who was insisting that capitalism was terrible for the earth and we therefor needed more socialism. I pointed out that the environments in most communist countries were absolutely terrible compared to the west, but the main difference is that "the west" had democratic movements that pushed for less pollution.

Arguing the morality of environmentalism in capitalism vs communism is a complete red herring. It was the fact that enough people had control and desire over their governments to do something that made any difference.
Correct. The left and right seem like a circle because Pat Buchanan and Bernie Sanders long had a large overlap on issues that have become highly salient today: immigration and free trade.

Thank you so much for checking out the project and the bug report. The dataset includes alternate names for each of the non-branded grocery products and those are indexed into the Go-based prefix & full-word search engine that I wrote to answer queries. Sometimes they can be a bit over-prioritized in the search experience, but, I'd still rather have them :)

> they don't agree with are incorrect and immoral and should be ignored or even ostracized

You have that right. But doing this is not always wise. Labeling people as immoral and ostracizing them, especially on 50/50 issues, is one of the reason why the American political system is so radicalized at the moment.
Again, I have no interest in engaging with someone who is clearly extremely ignorant about neoliberalism and US foreign policy, and who is fixated on engaging in straw man arguments. Stop embarrassing yourself and let it go.
I said before that Trump would be the Gorbachev of the USA, if he knows it or not. He is dismantling the system under the disguise of reforming it.
If you voted for trump I cannot take any pseudo intellectualization of that choice at face value. Unless you are an anarchist and truly hope the federal government implodes and you don’t mind the cost of that.

One of the most challenging aspects in my career has been: communication.

This is largely because it leaves chance for misinterpretation or miscommunication.
Programming languages eliminated misinterpretation and made miscommunication easier to notice through errors.

Programming language enables micromanaging proactively, I specify the instructions before they run.
I often find myself micromanaging retroactively with LLMs, until I reach the path I am looking for.
So, we can and do grow olives here in California, but it is a very small industry compared Spain, Italy, etc.

> Only the US gets away with having no actual reserve

Money is a credit. The US didn't get away with anything. Being a reserve currency has its advantages but the US is holding these liabilities with assets inside the country itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_net_inter...
Overall I agree, but I'm not sure there's literally no point. American primary producers will likely benefit - people who own mines, oil wells, farms, etc., and some American manufacturers too as long as they source enough of their raw materials from within the US that the price hikes on resources from overseas don't bite them too much. Still an overall loss that will be borne by American consumers, but a small section of the population who are already wealthy will greatly benefit...

> Just to add a gripe about Amazon. Their games app is so bad that if you use the back button on your mouse while a screenshot is open the page changes but the image stays until you close it.

That's more a critiques to how software development happens today. Its a consequence of decoupling the product ownership from the developer, who only implements what's required according to the ticket/feature requested by the PO.

To be clear, I'm not saying that passing full ownership of the software to the developers they've hired to be effectively code monkeys would work. And neither do I think that the approach of having the developers be the owners of the software "scales" (teams like that will always be small and have very little space for Jr. positions).

It's very illuminating if you look at the average developer salary at valve, they're just approaching software development differently then Amazon and Epic (and rest of the industry for that matter)
The Fourier Transform: A tutorial introduction
Some of the best convos I've had are with ideologues, it just requires authentic empathy and effort, which means letting go of moral presuppositions and being willing to really listen to them without injecting your own judgments & opinions. If people subconsciously think you're trying to do that, it'll trigger their defense mechanisms and the convo will instantly shut down (or devolve into chaos).

People love to talk about what they think is important, but NOT when they think they're being setup or playing into someone else's hand.
Do you think the rough death toll of pandemics are fundamentally unknowable to some approximation? Do you think the massive increase in mortality during the pandemic was a coincidence?
I don't see how they are dupes though

That's how dupes work on HN - they go by 'are you going to get the same thread'. There have been many Tesla sale threads, they are all the same and none are in the slightest bit interesting.

This is what happens - articles get upvoted because people are interested, hit the front page, get noticed by the flaggers when they come online, and get flagged.

Many people upvote things that are offtopic on HN, especially news items they have strong feelings a bout. Other people then flag them because these things are offtopic on HN and often repetitive. That sounds more or less how it's supposed to work?

> just restates obvious things in a more formalized and somewhat pompous way

That's sort of the premise of his Black Swan idea, namely that extraordinary things appear quite obvious in retrospect.

I've read a few of his books, including Antifragile that's referenced in TFA, and he does go beyond merely restating (or formalizing) the obvious.

But then again perhaps such things are not generally obvious and need to be stated explicitly, we just happen to be part of a subset that is more aware of them.
I like how you claim data doesn't support this being a problem but at the same time can't be bothered to cite any data. I'll do it for you: https://5666503.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5666503...

"Alarming proportions of students self-censor, report worry or
discomfort about expressing their ideas in a variety of contexts,
find controversial ideas hard to discuss, show intolerance for
controversial speakers, find their administrations unclear or
worse regarding support for free speech, and even report that
disruption of events or violence are, to some degree, acceptable
tactics for shutting down the speech of others."

"Less than one-in-four students (22%) reported that they felt “very comfortable” expressing their views on a controversial political topic in a discussion with other students in a common campusspace. Even fewer (20%) reported feeling “very comfortable” expressing disagreement with one of their professors about a controversial topic in a written assignment; 17% said the same about
expressing their views on a controversial political topic during an in-class discussion; 14%, about expressing an unpopular opinion to their peers on a social media account tied to their name; and 13%, about publicly disagreeing with a professor about a controversial political topic. "

And as for examples, the sitting NIH director, Jay Bhattacharya, who in hindsight was far more correct on everything COVID-related than the CDC was: had this to say about his experience at Stanford: https://stanfordreview.org/stanfords-censorship-an-interview...

" I presented the results in a seminar in the medical school, and I was viciously attacked. ... It was really nasty: allegations of research misconduct, undeclared conflicts of interest… In reality, the whole study was funded by small-dollar donations."

"It was very stressful. I had to hire lawyers. I've been at Stanford for 38 years and I felt it was really, really out of character. At one point, the Chair of Medicine ordered me to stop going on media and to stop giving interviews about COVID policy. They were trying to totally silence me."
100% agree with civil disobedience being high risk. And it always has been for immigrants. But writing articles in a newspaper? Criticizing domestic or particular foreign governments? If immigrants can't exercise purely expressive speech something is drastically fucked up.
