I love it. I loved my pebbles. The only thing that always annoyed me was the design.

My dream is that pebble eventually becomes a beautiful time piece. Maybe teenage engineering could be convinced to give the pebble a design refresh.

Cool. In the meantime Google Assistant still fails to reliably call my contacts via voice command. And trying to use Google's AI offering as a paying customer of Google apps for work is a giant shitshow. So much so that I'm finally contemplating of dropping the Google ecosystem all together.

How do they know the study participants consumed honey and not corn syrup?

The developer time required to learn and properly use nix makes it unattractive to most teams. The benefits don't outweigh the costs of adoption.

Instead of debugging code, the team would have to spend significant time maintaining the build system for the build systems sake. Don't get me wrong, I want something nix-like in my toolbox. I want to love nix. But I wouldn't dare to argue my team to commit to the world of pain that comes with it.

There's a good reason that nix didn't see wide adoption in the industry.

The vaccination campaign has solely been target at girls and women. Which is crazy, since boys and men can get cancer from HPV too.

I really don't understand the bias in public health communication here. OWID is making the same mistake again. How are boys supposed to know that they should get the shot, if everybody public health professional fails to tell them?

HPV is also thought to cause about 95% of anal cancers, 75% of oropharyngeal cancers, 75% of vaginal cancers, 70% of vulvar cancers, and 60% of penile cancers.2 Low-risk or non-oncogenic genotypes (eg, types 6 and 11) cause anogenital warts, low-grade cervical disease, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. In the USA, the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer in men now exceeds that of cervical cancer in women, and by 2020 the annual number of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers will exceed that of cervical cancers. As a result, it is important to consider ways to expand our HPV prevention efforts to boys and men.

Why are you happier exactly?

If you don't need the pinouts, it's likely cheaper to get a used thin client or a N100 based machine. You'd get similar power draw, plus a case and a PSU.

How does it mitigate the issues outlined in the article?

Banks in Germany offer access to consumers via the HBCI standard. Not sure about the rest of the EU.

Can you point to any good research to back up your claim that this is a good treatment?

People still haven't caught up to the fact that Sinclair is a fraud it seems.

Gladwell is known for citing junk science and twisting reality by adding his own unfounded interpretations to research he's basing his theories on. There's a host of criticisms of his work. [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Gladwell#Reception) is a good starting point.

The main attack vector IMHO is the simple fact that one can sneak in new packages with malicious intent by simply contributing a new formula. The team of maintainers is too small to audit all of the newly contributed formulae. I'm suprised that this attack vector wasn't part of the audit.

This is the crux of our disagreement.

No it's not.

There is an observable and testable probability that an LLMs output is correct or false. There is an observable and testable probability that code created by humans is erroneous.

There is a third category where human code is malicious. You will need to guard against all three cases. Guarding against a possibly faulty LLM output that is passed to ffmpeg is significantly easier to realise through defensive prompting and simple sanitization techniques, than to protect against a malicious state actor that is capable of crafting sophisticated supply chain attacks that took years to develop and roll out (again see the xz backdoor).

The idea that you can blindly trust an open source project just because "their development happens collaboratively and in the open" is naive. Some open source projects people are building their whole infrastructure on are maintained by a single developer in their spare time. The attack surface is huge and has been exploited time and time again. Just because a project like Debian has signed packages and a security team doesn't guarantee that the underlying code doesn't have some malicious backdoor or some grave bug that creates a big attack surface.

There have been many documented cases of supply chain attacks of various degrees of sophistication. Some of them successful, some of them almost successful. May I remind you of the recent xz vulnerability was discovered by a single dev by mere chance.

As an end user it is nearly impossible to guard against such an attack.

It can be problematic to run something like `curl foo.com | bash` without inspection of the script first. But even here it makes a difference if you are curling from a project like brew.sh that delivers such script from a TLS protected endpoint or some random script you find somewhere in a gist.

Same goes for output from an LLM. You can simply investigate the generated command before executing it. Another strategy might be to only generate the parameters and just pass those to the ffmpeg executable.

This was not a 737 Max, but a widely deployed model that is in use for decades. The likelihood that Boeing is at fault here is extremely slim. It is very likely that this was a piloting error or a maintenance issue, or a combination of both.

Plus, they have way too little memory for any meaningful LLM workloads that go beyond simple inference tasks or running yolo.

This is an addition to the LFS documentation, not a new version. It is clearly stated in the first paragraph.

Ok, even after reading the initial announcement for Mojo on their blog, I still have no clue what this is. A python like language but closed source?A language to build prompts? Something else?

If I were on a PC I would have to ask GPT4 to summarize it for me.

How is it so difficult to write a two sentence elevator pitch that anyone outside of your bubble can understand?

If Feynman could do it, you should be able to do it too.

I don't even want to install Arch the Arch way.

Then don't. You're simply not part of the target audience.

I find it weird that people on HN complain about ads in Gmail. If you're not paying for a service, someone else has to cover the costs you generate by using the service.

A Google Workspace subscription is not expensive. You can run it behind your own TLD, and you won't see any ads.

This is such a boring take. Musk could "defend free speech" (as if that is something that was ever substantially contested - Trump the shit talker par excellence has been president of the US of A), and still actually improve the world for everyone by funding medical research or the conservation of the rain forests. But yeah, let's drink some more of the Kool aid that the super rich like Musk and Trump are sticking it to the man.

Right. Nuclear power is absolutely safe. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Good for you.

I personally very much applaud the effort to port Rust to Espressif chipsets.

Can you please elaborate? Sadly your linked document is in Italian, which poses a language barrier for most of the community here.

I had my gut microbiota sequenced twice. The results were not actionable at all, because there is very little knowledge about what constitutes a healthy microbiome. Those tests are great entertainment if you're curious about the subject. But that's about it.

We know that a diverse microbiome might be healthier than a non-diverse one. Exercise, eat your fibers, legumes, fruit and whole grains. Avoid processed food. Enjoy some fermented condiments. Avoid alcohol.

May I suggest you research the proper way to format commas?

I know, proper form is a skill that has been lost with the advent of social media.

I posit that the mastery of orthography is a precondition to be taken seriously even today.

Useless negative comments like yours make me wish I could downvote comments on HN.

I applaud the effort. I just checked the forecast data for Berlin, Germany and it is quite inaccurate compared to the quality models offered for my region.

It seems that they only use NOAA data even though there are vastly superior models for the EU, e.g. ICON-EU and ECMWF.

Interesting! Can you share an example or two of such an observation?
