There can even be lead in fruit pouches: https://www.cdc.gov/lead-prevention/news/outbreak-applesauce...

I'm far from crunchy, but this led me to start making my kids pouches. They're more expensive per pouch, which was a bit surprising, but it has the side benefits that we make the pouches together (quality time) and I can control what goes in (e.g., spinach, carrots, broccoli).
That does make sense: an application server like Gunicorn talks ASGI with the application, but Gunicorn itself speaks plain old HTTP with the outside world (or reverse proxy). No more need for FastCGI inbetween.

That is in line with what the article is saying. Thanks for clarifying.

Medicine is wholly corrupt. If a hypothetical drug existed that was radically cheap and improved general health outcomes by 25%-50%, the institution of medicine and insurance by logic of self-preservation would not allow to exist or be known.

Such a drug would undermine things as they stand and so institutional self-preservation is now the primary purpose trumping any sort of too good actual solution.

You will learn more operating orthogonal to such a corrupt anti-inquiry, science-theatre. Just as a doctor-spouse (an unpaid friend-consultant) will always give you better advice than a paid doctor.

...Im saying if you are willing to read the research you are probably willing to run some n-of-1 quasi experiments.

For example dont use a computer, TV or phone for a month. Don't sit under LED or Fluroescent Lights for a month...I dont know, just try dumb things and you will learn faster than professionals "games".

This is because we operate in a low bar expectation brought on by arrogance of theory over experiment.

Saw the same in Russia 10 years ago. Not much broken glass on the streets but lots of empty bottles waiting beside walls and public infrastructures.
Fair points all of them.

With the side car support we haven't faced any issues so far tbh (on windows and macOS).

Also I agree that the lack of wgpu is annoying. This is why for our cursor rendering (our sidecar) we are just using winit with wgpu. We are thinking of trying egui for our cursor rendering and then maybe try to integrate it with Tauri and remove the sidecar completely.

Our frontend is quite simple so we don't need wgpu there. Though I agree 100% that with electron you will have less surprises.

Hopefully our experiment won't come back to bite us and we will be able to contribute back to the community.
I'm from Spain. Europe it's Androidlandia, that's it. When a Xiaomi device it's as good as most iPhones at a far lower price (for basic needs), then Android curbstomps Apple there.

At work, Windows. Forget Apple, or Chrome. Companies will set AD and Windows.

On backends and high tier servers, developing machines, and so on: GNU/Linux, hands down. The IT companies virtualize Windows machines with KVM, set up an AD domain under a VM and call it a day. No Apple there.

OTOH, I have to say that iPads have a much better touchscreen for handwritten input with lightpens. Hope Android solves that soon.
There are limits on what the judiciary can tell the other branches to do in regards to international relations.

Having said that there’s nothing to indicate that applies in this case. In past cases, the courts have required the US government to bring someone back who was deported. It has been done before.
Because in this case it was used for its combination of both human and machine readability, but the reviewers disregarded the former.

Might as well write it in Word if that's the case.
I did find that so surprising that it almost doesn't feel right. Hard to see why they'd bother making two different SKUs in two different places if the cost delta is only $100 they'd surely be better off shifting all the volume to the american phone and working to get it down to down to $550.
Keep in mind that they've also suggested attacking endowments with wealth taxes. I'm not sure they've thought that one through, because that would also open the door to going after the wealth of their billionaire buddies in the next administration, assuming there is one.
As an aside, I empathize with the author’s struggles to insert files with resource forks with resource forks-oblivious git. What I’ve done before is use AppleDouble as a post-compilation step and git hook to separate resource forks into separate files and reconstruct them - it was included in A/UX for precisely that reason.

You seem to be taking a reasonable approach, I have a Gaggia bean to cup machine and try lots of different beans and always try to get seasonal.

I pretty much drink solely espresso, but will sometimes have cappuccino for breakfast (which is the only time of day that Italy accepts!)

Ultimately, it’s about what you like. It doesn’t really matter what Italy thinks. But as with anything, getting good ingredients and preparing them well makes a difference.

I wouldn’t consider myself a ‘coffee snob’, more a coffee enthusiast :D. Good coffee from ethical sources is just better. People talk of coffee jitters. I don’t get any. And the variety of flavours is awesome.

btw, anyone in the UK: I really like Coffee Bean Shop [1]. It’s a small family owned coffee roaster, with a good variety of flavours. And on every delivery there’s a hand written note from the packer. Usually talking about the weather, but can be a variety of things. It’s very cute in our internet age and genuinely brings a smile to my face every time I open the package. The coffees are excellent too.

Nix would let you do just this already with potential binary cache and reproducibility.

That's fascinating. I've been trying to get other models to mimick Gemini 2.5 Pro's thought process, but even with examples, they don't do it very well. Which surprised me, because I think even the original (no RLHF) GPT-3 was pretty good at following formats like that! But maybe there's not enough training data in that format for it to "click".

It does seem similar in structure to Gemini 2.0's output format with the nested bullets though, so I have to assume they trained on synthetic examples.

Popper said we should tolerate the intolerant as long as they aren't violent, so its the exact opposite of what you say.

In general intolerance just breeds more intolerance, people are much less tolerant today than 10 years ago due to the massive amount of intolerance towards intolerance that proliferated the past 10 years.

Todos-MCP: Lessons from Creating a Todo App as a Minimal MCP Server
Thanks for this example - it makes it clear it can be a mechanism for something like sqlc/typed sql (my go-to with python too, don't like orms) without a transpilation step or arguably awkward language API wrappers to the SQL. We'll need linters to prevent accidentally using `f` instead of `t` but I guess we needed that already anyways. Great to be able to see the actual cost in the DB without having to actually find the query for something like `typeddb.SelectActiveAccount(I'd)`. Good stuff.
its incredible the sentiment on TfL API without realising your country even has an API for your public transport. Thats a huge leap in itself, let alone an actively maintained one

It still means less real-time and less interactive and likely more costly. Separating front and server is not a bad thing even if it brings some kind of duplication.

With .cljc files you can avoid the duplication anyway.

As the other commenter mentioned, you can buy at-home testing kits. But what you really want is to hire a lead testing and remediation company. We also live in an old house and we spent a huge amount of time applying "lead block" paint and replacing older windows (disastrous for lead dust because of the friction) and some older pipes. You may also want to test your outdoor soil, because older houses near roads will accumulate lead paint in soil due to years of traffic fumes, plus lead dust from the exterior of the house. Kids will sometimes eat dirt, don't ask me how I know. (Also: regular blood lead tests for your young kids! If you live in an older city this will be standard.)

Also if you do any construction that disturbs old paint (demolition, window replacement) be careful to seal off the area using plastic, then clean it carefully with disposable wipes.
Interestingly, Lead is still used in fuel for small aircraft. It's called avgas 100LL (Low Lead). I do worry about the effects of the fuel, given lead's health effects at low exposure levels.
That may be true but the latest media to be hit by the internet is film and TV. YouTube and TikTok are eating their lunch and streaming isn't making up for it. The same happened to music with the rise of streaming but it occurred a little earlier. AI generally isn't the cause of their demise but I suppose the fear is that AI will just make things worse when it's more broadly adopted. The internet has mostly destroyed media jobs and the only people making money from it nowadays are the platform companies.
Why doesn't someone make a modular systemd? Honestly I think a lot of systemd should be moved into the services its overriding or controlling.

I had the same question until I understood one key pattern of pure functional programming. Not sure it has a name but here goes.

There is world, and there is a model of the world - your program. The point of the program, and all functions, is to interact with the model. This part, data structures and all, is pure.

The world interacts with the model through an IO layer, as in haskell.

Purity is just an enforcement of this separation.

It all makes sense in that it confirms the crazy thing I couldn’t believe was true at the beginning - US appliances have the ability to sink a ton more current than they would ever need under normal operation, which seems like a safety issue. Would you want your electric toothbrush charger sinking 15A in some fault condition?

A UK device blows its own fuse under these circumstances. The wasted copper in every US appliance cord is just insult to injury.

> The rating on a UK ring circuit breaker is so high that you can literally melt significant quantities of steel without tripping the breaker

That’s fine, as long as everything is rated to that draw and doesn’t melt. If the wires couldn’t handle it then the breaker would be rated lower.

> certainly can turn typical appliance wiring incandescent, also without tripping the breaker.

And that’s where the fuse “shines”!

Seems like the UK method uses less copper and gives finer control in over current scenarios. I don’t see any benefits of the US style.
This site is beautiful in it's own way.
The word “properly” is not only working hard here, but perhaps pointing to deeper concepts.

In particular, it implies a coherent design around scope and extent. And, much more indirectly, it points to time. EVAL-WHEN has finally made a bit of a stir outside Lisp.
Europe is not a single country. Some of them are more free then others. For example: Germany monitors all of your internet traffic and can give you fines over it. classifying a panopticon as "free" is insane.
Even if it only covers a fifth of the costs, this wave of reuse is very sound.
I think that’s a good idea too and effectively that is the same outcome when the quizzes shape the distribution.
The question, for me, is: are there meaningful sanctions if DOGE (for Mike Waltz, for that matter), effectively destroyed records through autodelete?
Did you know, the world still mines more lead now than it did 50 years ago, at the peak of 'put lead in everything' mania?

To me, this says that we still put lead in too many things. Lead is still used for flashing in roofs. It's still used as a mould release when making plastics. It's still used in making dishware. It's still used in bullets.

It's still used for all kinds of things which will one day end up in the environment and someone's drinking water.

Not even the most fanatical functional programming zealots would claim that programs can be 100% functional. By definition, a program requires inputs and outputs, otherwise there is literally no reason to run it.

Functional programming simply says: separate the IO from the computation.

> Pretty much anything I've written over the last 30 years, the main purpose was to do I/O, it doesn't matter whether it's disk, network, or display.

Every useful program ever written takes inputs and produces outputs. The interesting part is what you actually do in the middle to transforms inputs -> outputs. And that can be entirely functional.
The "fediverse"'s issue is that it wants to displace established social media and its problems without even trying to understand why it has the problems it has. The thinking is that if you throw enough technical complexity at it then magically those problems will go away.

Established social media is not flawed for the sake of it. No matter how much you hate them, nobody at Facebook is saying "let's make the world a miserable place just for the sake of it". They do for revenue and profit - all the noxiousness of traditional social media can be traced back to its advertising-based business models; including the lack of interoperability.

No amount of "federation" or technobabble or artificial complexity is going to solve this fundamental problem - someone needs to get paid to keep the lights on, the servers humming, and the bad guys out. The current approach of the fediverse is to stick their head in the sand and pretend there is no problems. In reality of course there are problems - instances go down, the federation model means data is duplicated lots of times and makes hosting even costlier, and spam/bad actor prevention is non-existent (the only reason the whole thing isn't full of spam is because it's too irrelevant to actually bother spamming).

If you actually think about addressing the root cause that makes existing social media noxious and opt for a different funding model (paid accounts, etc), then you'll realize none of that "federation" complexity is actually needed because suddenly you no longer have an incentive to do a lot of the obnoxious things that federation wants to solve. You can run a conventional centralized platform as a non-profit, and still let people attach their own domains, use alternative clients, etc. As a bonus, not having to duplicate the data many times means your costs will be lower than a "fediverse" equivalent and you can actually scale. And you could even pay a marketing intern for him to tell you that calling your consumer-facing product "Mastodon" is a recipe for failure (but hopefully if you've made it that far you'd already have the common sense to know this).

> I already pay for Google One storage, so it's the cheapest of the paid LLMs for me. That's 99% of the reason I use it, and honestly I don't really have any strong opinions on it compared to ChatGPT

I'm on a ChatGPT pro plan, been using it for a good while but got an offer on Google One storage so tried it out for a month. Google's models are far behind compared to OpenAI's, and seemingly o1 Pro Mode is still the best out there, albeit slow obviously. But probably the model I've got furthest with on difficult problems, and even the "simpler" models from OpenAI are still better than Gemma 2.5.

It does seem that Google has better tooling available for their models though, so a combination of the tooling of Google with the models of OpenAI would probably be optimal, but unlikely we'll see that happen.

I see the problem, its 3. I was being more general in equating "the news" with "stuff released into the environment". But 3 implies "stuff not released into the environment" which is not what I meant.

PS, How did you do those numbers in the circles? I've not seen that in a HN comment before (I like it). I see sometime people switching fonts in comments, but I hadn't figured out how to do that either.
Over the months, I watched it three times in person at NYC Film Forum, then another couple of times during the 24h January stream.

It's not AI and it's not just random clips, either. The opening and the ending are always the same. Some parts like the segment on Oblique Strategies and how they shaped the recording of Bowie's Moss Garden were played (almost?) every time. The bit showing the evolution of U2's Pride from a yodeling demo to the finished song played half of the times. Same with the one about his Windows 95 start sound. I think the latter screenings had more examples of generative pixel/glitch art (each of which, presumably, was unique).

My feeling was that segments were divided into categories and/or tags; their selection was like a chef's menu at a restaurant, where you don't know what you'll get, but you can expect that some kind of desserts are always at the end.

Also, I don't think it's exactly true that each performance is different.
Between segments, there's some computer output scrolling by and it includes a filename of the next clip. At the start of the movie, the (fake?) filename includes the venue and the date. I didn't stick around for two consecutive shows, but I think they're identical through the day. The 24h streams were different, of course.
Nobody says it is effective, only that it is possible.

One way could be to send the message to the market that a certain area is strategically important and any startups will have access to extremely cheap loans and not have to worry about natural resources or personel.

Then follow up on those promises, take a step back, watch the Cambrian explosion that follows and when the businesses seems to have grown legs simply scale back funding and watch them fight it out. One could even say that is exactly what has happened in the world several times over. It is not unique to China.

CSS Custom Properties have a cost. If you’re using them as global variables, and don’t need to look them up from JavaScript, or change them according to media queries, it’s good to flatten them out of existence: your bundle will be smaller, your execution faster, and your memory usage reduced. Same with mixins.

It would be good if Lightning CSS supported that use case: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/lightningcss/issues/69.

Compile-time variables are still a useful feature. CSS Custom Properties get used in a lot of places where compile-time variables would be better.
The article doesn’t explain it, but the reason why you want a large space to measure loudspeakers is that your measuring frequency range is determined by the time it takes until the first reflection arrives, which you can exclude by using a windowing function in your measuring software. You only want the direct sound emanating from the DUT, not the reflections (unless you’re interested in room correction).

The larger the space, the lower the frequency you can still measure.
