It should be extremely easy to take this into consideration, and create cohorts of people who were not on a statin. I'm quite sure we would still see that cholesterol is useless and that inflammation drives everything.

It doesn't work in any country, ever. NO government can be trusted with data and with too much power (which go hand in hand). This has always been the case and will always be the case.

Really? There is a reason why Europeans are jokingly called "Europoors". Even the upper middle class in Europe is poor as hell with barely any savings. When have companies and rich folk ever been on ANYONE's side but their ow

How can LLM inference be done better on non Linux? I can run models on my 96GB RAM MacBook Pro incredibly well. As soon as someone tells me how this can be done in Linux, I'm ready to switch.

It is fascinating to see how Stripe was so close to integrate Bitcoin, but then did a 180 and decided to stand on the wrong side of history every since. No idea what the hell is wrong with their CEO.

Use VIM bindings, and you will never need the "PgUp PgDn Home End Insert Delete cluster" ever again. I surely didn't miss it a single day in the past 15 years...

I searched the article for "meat" and "carnivore". Zero mentions. First paragraph admits that this is a biochemistry issue and then immediately jumps to the conclusion that MEDICATION is needed. Insane. Eat a proper huma

It's a tough issue indeed. One thing that comes to my mind is: If a human tries to answer a question via the web, he will browse one site after the other. If that human asks an LLM, it will ping 25 sites in parallel. Scale this up to a

Given that the UN is an utterly dystopian horror organisation that should be dismantled before it drives humanity into a dead-end with no return, and given that our "journalistic" institutions no longer practice journalism, but me

the BBC is not unbiased in this (or anything), so I would ignore any "documentary" aired by them.

Skill issue. In the hand of a good team, ORMs and migrations are an unbeatable productivity boost. Django is best in class.

Nice try, ChatGPT. Not a single of these idiotic projections will ever come true.

I only read the 10 highest posts per day (subscribed via a RRS feed called Hacker News Daily) and never thought that it is dominated by AI. Skill issue?

I 100% agree about Discord being a horrible mess that can't possibly host normal people... But Signal? It's basically identical to Whatsapp. I had zero issues getting people on Signal and I now use it exclusively. Every friend and

Does no one care about how much it costs to hosts and stream the massive amount of videos that Youtube hosts? We all just think that we are entitled to get all that for free? If you don't want ads, just pay for the damn thing.

Congress wants powerful lobbyists with truckloads of money. The people want a king. It's Democracy going exactly the way how Plato already described it.

Why not? How else would you identify a troll? What if someone has a hidden agenda and in isolation their arguments seem sound, but when you zoom out you see the agenda and understand that the arguments are biased and manipulative and actual

Modern society tries very hard to lay tracks for everyone all the way to final station: The old folks home. In my opinion, there are TOO MANY tracks. We have plastered the entire map with so many tracks, that experiencing true freedom has b

You have perfectly described the downfall of western democracies, who are oh so tolerable. Even Plato described this already in The Republic.
