Yeah this is a really wild experiment. Their hypothesis for the mechanism is "gut bacteria" but these people in the study all had a trifecta of "high" body weight (overweight? obese? not specified in this article), high

A good manager understands the tech and what it takes to implement it on a high level, at least enough to not get BS'd. This instinct can be developed due to direct experience as an engineer, but it can also be due to experience as a p

I've never in my life used TikTok. Can you please point to a specific article, news source, journal, any piece of information that is legal in the United States that I don't have easy access to so I can see what I'm missing?

HN like a lot of SV / VC culture was more libertarian leaning than right leaning. Low taxes, minimal oversight, etc. - true largely of workers and capital alike. The open embrace of the fascist / nativist right in SV has been more

The left / right split isn't really meaningful in the United States right now. The split is currently between people who believe in and want a functional and equitable government, and those who are fine with a kleptocracy as long

Cards on the table: this stuff saps the joy from something I loved doing, and turns me into a manager of robots. I feel like it's narrowly really bad for me. I won't get rich and my field is becoming something far from what I sign

If you can use the Copilot CLI, it's highly likely you can use OpenCode with the same API key. It's worth doing a little research. The CLI tool matters. If you're not using opencode/claude you're missing out. But th

If your org has a relationship with MS/OpenAI (many do!) you can also use OpenCode with GPT-5.2 for some pretty impressive results. Once you see what is currently possible with this technique you will understand that programming as a f

I might go back and give it a try! It would certainly save some ram. I immediately reached for VMs because I just didn't want any question about the full level of isolation, but the cool thing about incus is that it should be easy to s

Incus is great for this use case, I did something similar. I volume mount specific stuff into the guests and let OpenCode loose with all tools enabled. I used OpenCode to vibe code the shell script I use to manage it. I actually use VMs rat

I mean as with most "product" things related to Musk, it's more about the meme stock than any fundamental coupling to finances in the real world. Ford is a car company. They sell cars. The Lightning was a poorly selling car,

I doubt a random internet commenter can persuade you, but LLMs and tools built around them are fundamentally different from NFT/crypto. NFTs/Crypto are just ways to do crimes/speculate/evade regulations. They aren't

Yes! The "lean mass" caveat is oft ignored by bro scientists, and even LLMs have incorporated the error due to training on bro science forums. I use this as a bit of a canary. If you see somebody making this basic mistake (like th

This is a good point but you can see the price "ceiling" by examining the prices for PCs that can effectively run local models. A DGX Spark is ~$4k (plus power) for example. That's not nothing, but it's still not very mu

I'm getting a 404 on the original post, but on GrapheneOS you'll fail SafetyNet attestation, so you've got a totally different (worse?) problem if your goal is compatibility with abusive proprietary apps.
