   I was thinking about behavioral advertising, but I'm pro banning advertising on all public surfaces too, iirc like in Barcelona. But to your point I guess in the near future with AR.

   You are the one that's confused if your conclusion is fat = bad for the heart based on this.

   I always thought that the basic fact that unsaturated fats oxidize easier points to them not being ideal for protecting from UVs.

   I was expecting this to be the conclusion at first, this ability to empathize and stay calm regardless of the other person's demeanor is a superpower.

   Conversely, blue light is harmful. Worth looking into it. Red light is absolutely safe for the eyes IME at any dose. It does feel very good and healthy, for whatever it's worth.

   I agree I just don't think it should be illegal to smoke outside just because of the smell, it seems kind of extreme.

    I second the Sports Research brand it's my favorite based on their obvious careful choice of fillers. Anyway, yes the full spectrum of the sun provides much more, not only UV for vitamin D but the red/infrared part of the spectrum

    It's basically impossible to share e.g a long screenshot of text because WhatsApp compresses so aggressively, it's a joke.

    Honestly I don't understand how beings capable of interstellar travel get all they way to earth and crash their spaceships, and we can just tow their technology like it's nothing special.

    Years ago there was a documentary with some guy (a developer iirc) was preparing for badwater, it involved going running in the summer heat with winter gear on. He did manage to finish the race though!

    I'm familiar enough with Tate to not be interested in him, but I don't know enough about him why he is such a disaster to have on Twitter. There are many such people, so I'm asking if you know why exactly he was banned and wh

    Yeah it is. I was specifically asking if the poster knew the details because I didn't. It's just that I suspect that many don't.

    Trying to get GPT to generate comments at a particular level really highlights its limitations in my experience. For instance, I couldn't get it to focus on commenting on programming language aspects of the code (or only in a crude way

    Judging from what I've read in online discussions... Absolutely. This is especially a problem for children, I'm pretty happy I wasn't fed oat "milk" as a child.

    Honestly this is the best iOS HN app to date. I see you get a lot of comments about the paywall, I suggest you try offering a 7-day trial instead of the nag. Or, better yet, limit it to X number of openings or something like that.

    Just came to say I agree with your assessment 100%. I think it's about the fact that incandescent light is a broader spectrum. It seems to affect the say shadows are cast etc. It's just not as nice as incandescent.

    I'm trying out GPT-4 and had it write me a script to navigate the HN comments tree sequentially, as I often wished. This is the start of an era where UIs can be remixed on the fly by end users, something I've always wished for. He

    It's the only thing that seems to work for certain autoimmune conditions. It's not a fad.

    I'm doing this for health reasons (as are hundreds of thousands of others, see "carnivore diet" or "zerocarb"). I was just sharing an observation I had because prior to eating this way I always had gut issues.
