Title change recommendation: Almost no one cares whether your site is on social media

Current title can be interpreted two ways: "No one cares unless your site is on social media" is the other way.

I have a standing offer to buy any individual any of Kahneman's books, if they commit to me they will read it. Amazingly only a few people have taken me up on this.

Kahneman is unequivocally the person I would call my hero, today I am sad to see him leave us. I hope to honor his memory by... I guess, recognizing just how wrong I am, on a regular basis.

When I was earning my instrument license, Vatsim was a huge part of my practice (for better or for worse). PilotEdge is best to get the fundamentals, but the cool thing about Vatsim is that your local area is very likely covered, which made it a different kind of applicable.

I've had success with doing a bit of a silly pseudo-API (basically just flags). One of the flags is "v" (verbosity, Linux style) with a scalar (1-5). So if I want a more thorough response I can just amp up the v.

It seems to do a great job, interestingly good at nuance and summarization, but also in expanding when going higher with the v=.

This sounds like a false dichotomy to me.

I guess it says something about me that I expect this to be weaponized by HR to manage company zoom behaviors.

I think the mp3 is responsible for much of the positive momentum of podcasts and audio in general. (That's pretty obvious.) But there is not a widely accepted analog in video. Video encoding is complicated. And since we are at a particular juncture where video is large enough relative to internet speed, compression and encoding are still very important.

So the complexity of that is what makes it hard to go totally open in my opinion, at least from the creator standpoint.

That and the fact that there is just too much momentum with YouTube's audience volume, if your goal is viewership.

This is oversimplified. Strength training and VO2 max are not mutually exclusive from each other.

Kinda have to qualify "quality" by varied standards. Is it good enough for what the author needs? Then what matter is it that some measure of quality is not hit?

Reduce scope AND push out a deadline. Congrats to the product managers on that one I guess - you did the impossible.

I have had a stressful, difficult week. Work is volatile right now, and it's taken a toll on my mental health.

Your story took me entirely out of that state, and your words regarding joy and optimism... reframing unimaginable to unfathomable, in particular... have both lifted me and left me with a feeling of unquenchable desire to help.

Thank you for sharing your story, and for being so deeply authentic throughout.

For the average person, this pushes the incorrect narrative that somehow our food is becoming drastically less useful. The primary use of these crops has always been the carbohydrate content, followed by micronutrients; all this really says is that we should still have a diverse intake of food to reach RDA’s of said micros.

Can you explain how they are better? Just curious what aspects you would determine that from, since I assume you’re not referring to nutrient content which would be pretty tough to judge.

This is in itself misleading. Carbs are the fundamental nutrient required for energy production (specifically for glycogen). So much so that without them the body undergoes glycogenesis. Carbohydrates might be “empty” in that they aren’t filling / are higher calorie per gram, but they are no less a nutrient.

Was just going to say, the correct title might be “the micronutrient variety has reduced”, but that is misleading on its own. Unless the crops are becoming impossible to digest / akin to cardboard, nutrition is just changing.

Micronutrients are still important but there are relatively abundant sources still available, for example in leafy greens.

This one is banner worthy if any of them are.

The linked article says it has been used in that specific context.

How does this square with the fact that isoleucine is important for muscle mass development?

I wonder what Satya will say here; will the AI CEO position there just evaporate?

I can cosign here as a former PBS employee. If you're considering, please apply. It's a fantastic place to work.

I think this may be a little short sighted.

AI “systems” are provided some level of agency by their very nature. That is, for example, you cannot predict the outcomes of certain learning models.

We necessarily provide agency to AI because that’s the whole point! As we develop more advanced AI, it will have more agency. It is an extension of the just world fallacy, IMO, to say that AI is “just a tool” - we lend agency and allow the tool to train on real world (flawed) data.

Hallucinations are a great example of this in an LLM. We want the machine to have agency to cite its sources… but we also create potential for absolute nonsense citations, which can be harmful in and of themselves, though the human on the using side may have perfectly positive intent.

Sinatra, flask, or Laravel. Something that gives me a direct control over routes and allows me to opt-in to magic when I want or need it. Dynamic language.

Depending on the frontend need, I might go with straight server rendering static pages. So often the big stack of rendering contexts and HOCs and blah blah blah just gets in the way. Rendering a view shouldn’t be difficult, and progressive enhancement is easier starting from strict HTML + well structured CSS.

I love React, I’d be happy to try Svelte… my fear in not doing that would be “when we eventually need it, it’s difficult to opt in progressively” (which is terrible).

I don’t think HN is the place for arguing gender politics. Pregnant people is as or more accurate than pregnant women.

Hey Blackmagic - you may be benefited by reviewing your copy once more on this page. You have a LOT of exclamation marks in these descriptions, and while I get that it’s an exciting product, the copy starts to get a little tiring.

“All one word”

Can you explain how you’re doing this? I’m in a very similar spot, using next JS with a special external folder that I use as an “outlet” for publishing

Yeah lock me right up then

I think her point is that managing your home automation through this level of involvement is not the end goal she’s looking for. I may be wrong, but it sounds like she wants stuff to plug in and work without having to go down the road of setting up custom automation stitching stuff.

I love Home Assistant, but I regularly find myself opening the Hue and Lutron apps anyway. And I’m someone who runs a NUC. I don’t mind administration, but I don’t want to HAVE to do that when I’ve already paid for a thing that supposedly does most of that.

Ctrl-Back and Ctrl-Forward clicks work in Chrome as well, very handy to have.

They sorta still do this as a part of their business for sure.
