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

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

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

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 partic

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 unfath

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

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 fi

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. Micronutr

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

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 pag

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.

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 se
