What Ozempic does to the gut-brain axis 25 days ago

the downside is it allows us to continue to avoid solving the real problem

ideologues will tell you this is that all mankind suddenly lost their ability to exert self-discipline a few decades ago

science points to a broad combination of things like corn syrup and seed oils simply making food too addictivly-rewarding and calorie rich for our nervous and endocrine systems to handle.

so, do we reform the farm bill and fast food industries, or do we take the antidote?

nowhere: an entire website encoded in a URL 3 months ago

similar enough that i'll share, I think i learned this from an HN comment, you can put the code for a page in the url (with obvious limits):

this works as a "url" in both chrome and safari:

  data:text/html, <html contenteditable><head><title>notes</title></head><body><textarea rows=36 cols=140></textarea></body></html>

Iran-linked hackers breach FBI director's personal email 4 months ago

honestly, look internally. after the plane from qatar. after the son-in-law's real estate dealings. after the visible-to-everyone kalshi and oil futures bets frontrunning the administrations announcements. for you to still feel the need to frame things as "border-line (to be polite)" is, in and of itself, the perfect example of the overall problem.

take your inability to draw a clear-as-day conclusion and state it plainly and multiply it by another ~50M "centrists" who continue to believe that staying "not political" and "avoiding the news" is a viable strategy to just wait the problem out.

until the checked out cowards realize that strategy isn't going to work, things will continue to get worse.

"no politics" might as as well be the second maga slogan.

is there anywhere good to read/follow to get operational clarity on this stuff?

my current system of looking for 1 in 1000 posts on HN or 1 in 100 on r/locallama is tedious.

A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks 6 months ago

it was basically a mindless loop, very prime for being agent driven:

  - observe error rate uptick
  - maybe dig in with apm tooling
  - read actual error messages
  - compare what apm and logs said to last commit/deploy
  - if they look even tangentially related deploy the previous commit (aka revert)
  - if its still not fixed do a "debug push", basically stuff a bunch of print statements (or you can do better) around the problem to get more info
I won't say that solves every case but definitely 90% of them.

I think your point about preserving some amount of intent/context is good, but also like what are most of us doing with agents if not "loop on error message until it goes away".

obviously you're not a devops eng, I think you're wildly under-estimating how much of business critical code pre-ai is completely orphaned anyway.

the people who wrote it were contractors long gone, or employees that have moved companies/departments/roles, or of projects that were long since wrapped up, or of people who got laid off, or the people who wrote it simply barely understood it in the first place and certainly don't remember what they were thinking back then now.

basically "what moron wrote this insane mess... oh me" is the default state of production code anyway. there's really no quality bar already.

it has been amazing to watch how much of agentic ai is driven by "can you write clear instructions to explain your goals and use cases" and "can you clearly define the rules of each step in your process."

Electric Propulsion's Dirty Secret: Why Lithium Can't Fly (Or Float) Profitably 1 year ago

this post is a fake argument with no one? the typical internet outrage pattern of using overly dramatized language like "dirty secret" to describe something thats... common knowledge? not a secret at all? openly talked about at any and every relevant industries conferences and trade shows?

everybody who isn't just reading clickbait and comments sections is well aware that the wh/kg for li-ion will never cross the atlantic much less the pacific, via air or sea. thats why the aviation industry went in on SAF/eFuels, thats why the shipping industry is playing with hydrogen and ammonia. everybody knows the litany of challenges there (please spare us yet another internet commenters thoughts on hydrogen), but the very fact that they're trying is in and of itself a clear admission of the understanding that li-ion doesn't get you there.

so like, who is this guy even talking to?

Electric Propulsion's Dirty Secret: Why Lithium Can't Fly (Or Float) Profitably 1 year ago

I think we'll see the global rich (western middle class) continue to fly well past the onset of the famines and refugee waves.

Without a single family detached house and a regular vacation flight most "middle class" people would have no idea why to get up in the morning. Our whole culture is built around lauding and striving toward that pattern as the good life. It will have to be taken from them, they will not give it up willingly.

Gemini Robotics 1 year ago

does anyone know if any of the robot arms being used in these videos, especially the ones that look like just an aluminium extrusion, are off-the-shelf things that can be purchased somewhere? even if its a kit?

I would love to experiment with something like this but everytime I try to figure out what hardware to do it with there's a thousand cheap no-name options and then bam 30k+ for the pro ones.
