Contrast this with the recent HN submission that found that a high fat diet altered mice microbiome and created changes in the signaling pathways in the brain related to anxiety:

Don’t forget the brakes. When the rotors get worn down, where did they go?

By that logic, does having philosophical or political discussions at a local coffee shop once a week qualify it for a tax exempt status?

> The majority of tax-exempt organizations today are business-like in form and function, including credit unions, hospitals, utilities, insurance companies, universities, professional athletic associations, golf clubs, and consulting firms, to name a few.

Missing a big one there. I know that taxing religious organizations would NEVER fly in the US, but.. can you imagine?

Under no circumstances should you try meditation! DO NO DO IT! That's an order.

I'd argue that heavily lopsided TOS in favor of the company, that can be changed at any time by said company, and your access can be cut off unless you agree to the updated TOS, does not make a contractual obligation. In a B2C context, the business is the more sophisticated entity so it's up to them to make sure everyone knows what they are agreeing to. They could have put up a bold summary of "this is a yearly contract, you will be charged $79.99 to cancel, please type YEARLY CONTRACT in the box" somewhere in the signup flow. Had they done it, the case could be dismissed.

Perhaps not in reality, but it's the customer perception that matters.

It does not. There are RISC-V chips out there (T-Head 906) that have a pre-1.0 vector extension, but these are 64-bit application processors. I'm sure we'll see ESP32 RISC-V chips with SIMD in the next few years.

It seems to me like they didn’t learn anything. You can’t have a business whose product is meant to overcome state censorship, unless, perhaps, you work for another government. It can work as an open source project though as there’s no legal entity to coerce, just a diffuse and ever changing group of contributors. Plus of course the trust question. As a closed source project, they could be paid or forced to add a backdoor. It’s possible that they didn’t help anyone at all.

Is it open source? Will it one day mysteriously disappear from the internet too?

It was the older generations that gave up freedom and privacy for convenience, making that choice for everyone.

Which is also why national security (and think of the children) is used to justify whatever they feel like. Any mention of either turns off the critical thinking parts for a large fraction of the population.

Apple lets you replace your card number with a new one, but it's not quite the same as creating single-use virtual numbers for sketchy businesses.

Not that I'm aware, but happy to stand corrected. They pretend they are enforceable, we pretend to abide by them.

> Backing the Montana law were 18 mostly Republican-led states that were eyeing similar bans of TikTok.

> President Trump clamped down on TikTok and attempted to outlaw the app, but his efforts were twice struck down in the courts.

This is pretty clearly a partisan issue. Can anyone tell me why? It know the national security and think of the children talking points, as if the left doesn't care about national security and children.. What are the real reasons?

LM Studio can start a local server with the APIs matching OpenAI. You can’t do concurrent requests, but that should get you started.

Losing actual money is not a good tax write off strategy.

So it's good enough - the mantra of software development that explains a lot of what he's talking about. He's not entitled to being able to "just put pixels on a screen" while also distributing his games to be ran on his users' computers. He could develop his games for MS-DOS, but he has chosen not to.

Look, I complain about software quality probably more than most, but it's good to remember that it's more of an emotional issue rather than an objective one. I did not find his arguments about programmer productivity convincing. As a whole, software is doing what it's supposed to and, besides, it could have always been worse.

That Jon video was hard to finish. Guy complains about software complexity, uses Windows 10. If you want simplicity, go use Ken Thompson's 3-week v0 UNIX that had an editor, a compiler and some syscalls. What else do you need? Oh, you want drivers, networking and GUIs?! Too bad, because these have multiple orders more complexity! Also by his logic, you're only allowed things that you could recreate from scratch.

For balance, he does make a good point about the upper limit of complexity and how hard it is to transfer the knowledge required to the next person doing the job. Perhaps if we normalized documenting everything to the point where someone new could just pick it up by reading the docs as well as get the time from the company to actually do it, there might be more incentives to keep things simpler.

Tell us more about the DC supply option. I’m seeing ~50 W at the AC side which, while not a lot, does add up over time.

Edit: https://boathackers.com/starlink/#:~:text=I'm%20very%20happy....

They are saying they are using about 25W after the conversion.

The scientists would love nothing more than to discover a whole new area of study, alas ESP doesn’t lend itself to study despite the overwhelming statistical evidence (?) because it’s made up.

Yes, the same people that agree that there’s a housing crisis and that their city should in general have more affordable housing, just not in their specific neighborhood.

I can still get a car just fine by keeping the app open and seeing how far the driver is. The point is that some apps really do benefit from real time notifications, but it’s too tempting for PMs at those companies to not abuse it because of the metrics that they are evaluated on. Pretty sure the apps report back if the notifications are turned off so that’s my form of feedback into those same metrics.

It sounds like her son has ADHD (and her too likely as it’s mostly genetic), just like me and millions of others. No, it’s not an epidemic. Social media and phones in general are the perfect “solution” for brains that are in a constant craving for stimulation.

I don’t want to get into the whole personal responsibility vs evil companies dichotomy, but something that has helped me tremendously is wasting time on my own terms, not because I got a notification. There are days when I don’t receive a single email because I’ve aggressively unsubscribed from almost everything. Same for the notifications on the phone - if, say, Uber sends me a notification for a coupon for 50% off at Chick-fil-a, that’s an immediate banishment and the app can no longer send any. If that degrades the app experience when I do need a car, that’s their problem for abusing my trust.

The simple option is no dashboard at all. The AC can be set at the service center.

I know, I’m just saying that the platforms encourage different types of content and for YouTube it’s drawing out what could be a 3 minute video into 10 minutes because it’s better for the creator and the platform. TikTok doesn’t have long form content, but what it does have is someone saying “hey, check out this YouTube lecture, this is why you should watch it” which has helped me find interesting things on YouTube that I would have never clicked on.

This reminds me of the last time this came up in some committee and senior politicians were complaining how the app is just full of dancing teenage boys. It’s not. As a longtime user of both, I’d say the content is comparable, except on TikTok you can’t drag out a video to 10 minutes to make a bit more money. Also, all ads are skippable.

As a general rule I think people underestimate how hard something is going to be. It’s a good thing though, otherwise they might not even start it.
