Or psychology or therapy. Psychiatry is paying $300 an hour for a ‘coach’ to prescribe you a pill so you don’t have to talk to a psychologist or coach or therapist.
all of our problems are created out of thin air. we literally make up all of our problems.
no one is ever upset about the way things are; they are only upset about the stories they make up about the way things are supposed to be, or are not, or should be, etc.
go ahead and find me something that you are upset about just the way that it is, with no relation to the way that it isn’t. i’ll wait.
You probably didn’t take enough to meet even a fraction of your RDA, let alone enough to move the needle.
Potassium’s therapeutic window (the difference between effective dose and lethal dose) is relatively small. The FDA limits OTC potassium supplements to 99 mg per dose due to safety concerns like hyperkalemia. You'd need to take about 48 pills to meet the recommended daily amount of 4,700 mg, making it impractical compared to getting potassium from food.
The most widely available concentrated source of food grade potassium is potassium hydrogen tartrate, better known as cream of tartar, widely used in baking and cooking [1]. It's about 21% potassium by mass, available in practically any grocery store, and inexpensive in bulk. So it's a great alternative to potassium supplement pills, at least for people who can do arithmetic.
If people cannot do arithmetic, they may induce hyperkalemia:
Journal of Medical Toxicology, 2013: "Life-threatening hyperkalemia from cream of tartar ingestion"
Case reports: In both cases, individuals ingested a large quantity of cream of tartar in an effort to "clean themselves out". They manifested similar initial symptoms (vomiting), abnormal serum potassium (>8.0 mmol/L), and EKG's with peaked T waves. Both patients were treated for hyperkalemia and recovered without complication.
You are wrong. I am aware of the FDA limit on pills. That's why I used potassium chloride powder instead. I don't remember the exact amount, maybe half the RDA?
this depends on where you live. there are many places in which people directly vote on complex issues. people in California voted to ban gay marriage. people in the UK voted on the incredibly complex topic of Brexit.
dumb people vote for dumb things, whether issues or candidates.
Well, referendums are kind of direct democracy, so yes, I agree those are at increased risk of dumb voting. But the actual problem there, to me, is such complex decisions being put to referendum in the first place; specially to a simple majority vote.
Also, gay marriage isn't really a complex issue: Even the dumbest person understood the consequences of banning it, they just were that sadistic. Agreed on Brexit though.
Is this a hunch, or do you know of some data to back up your reservations?
Copilot+ PC’s, which all run models locally, have the best battery life of any portable PC devices, ever.
These devices have in turn taken a page out of Apple Silicon’s playbook. Apple has the benefit of deep hardware and software integration that no one else has, and is obsessive about battery life.
It is reasonable to think that battery life will not be impacted much.
That doesn't seem totally reasonable. The battery life of an iphone is pretty great if you're not actually using it, but if you're using the device hard, it gets hot to the touch, along with the battery getting drained. playing resource intensive video games, maxing out the *PU won't stop and let the device sleep at all, and has a noticable hit on battery life. Where inference takes a lot of compute to perform, it's hard to imagine inference being totally free, battery-wise. It probably won't be as hard on the device as playing specific video games non-stop, but I get into phone conversations with ChatGPT as it is, so I can imagine that being a concern if you're already low on battery.
In the US, it’s free on Delta for SkyMiles members, which is in turn free to join. It’s also free for everyone on JSX with no strings, and they actually are the first airline I know of to use StarLink.
Additionally it’s free on most US airlines for T-Mobile customers, but only on devices that actually have T-Mobile SIMs (so not most laptops).
This isn't important; but Delta's "free with SkyMiles" offering is for domestic US travel. For international travel they're still charging $8/hour. Supposedly they may expand the free offering to some flights to Europe though but YMMV.
I have to imagine this comes down to how they provide the Internet connection. Over land they can use cell towers. Over sea they're forced to use satellites.
On AA, the "free one hour for TMO subscribers" through their app doesn't actually check to see if you're using a TMO SIM. It only checks the phone number against their customer list.
After burning up the first free hour I switch to my wife's number, then my kids, etc. It never complains.
Re: T-Mobile - On United you can just set your laptop user agent to a mobile one and sign on with your phone number. Works fine for both the short period and full flight options.
Even with so-called standard data protection, iCloud Keychain passwords are always end-to-end encrypted, and Apple cannot decrypt them.
"For additional privacy and security, 15 data categories — including Health and passwords in iCloud Keychain — are end-to-end encrypted. Apple doesn't have the encryption keys for these categories, and we can't help you recover this data if you lose access to your account."
> If it did turn out that Apple was actually able to do what they claim they can't…
My friend, I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean. What do you believe Apple claims they can't do that conflicts with this? (If your answer is "end-to-end encryption", Apple has supported this for at least a decade.)
> "How do we validate claims of end-to-end encryption?"
I'm not a security expert, and you can't prove a negative, so AFAIK the only evidence is the lack of reported incidents where Apple's iCloud Keychain data has been directly hacked or compromised. Given that iOS and iDevices are among the highest-value targets for hackers and nation-states, that seems like reasonably solid evidence.
From a business perspective, lying about such a thing would have virtually zero upside but unimaginably massive downside. It's a great Apple-hater fantasy, though.
> so AFAIK the only evidence is the lack of reported incidents
Thank you. That's exactly what I wanted to hear from you. The link you provided is in no way, shape or form actual evidence of what you're suggesting.
> From a business perspective, lying about such a thing would have virtually zero upside but unimaginably massive downside.
What are users going to do? Buy a Surface tablet and a Samsung phone?
> It's a great Apple-hater fantasy, though.
I just dipped my toe into the Apple waters again and bought an m1 air a year or so go. I'm currently shopping for a used iPhone.
I don't have brand loyalty and I use what works, and it just so happens that Apple has been making stuff that works pretty well in my opinion recently. But I'm under no illusion that I can trust them.
It's not just trust in a company. Matthew Green was geeking out about iCloud Keychain privacy a few years ago. He sometimes speaks of contacts in Apple security who are really committed and competent engineers. Their professional reputations are on the line too. Nothing would damage their careers like a backdoor that conspiracy types love to speculate on.
Apple claims they cannot decrypt. What will you do if that claim turns out false? That is what the person you are talking with means, and it is very clear throughout the conversation.
Great, so what does he mean by "how would you explain the source that you linked to?", since no part of that conflicts with what I've said or anything else? (I really appreciate the parsing help!)
The source you linked to makes one claim yet you can't verify that claim - that's what they mean.
And we have plenty of historical examples, including recent ones, that big companies are simply lying through their teeth almost every time they open their mouths. Companies that rely heavily upon marketing are lying more so than others.
"Macs don't get viruses" claim made while several Mac viruses existed at the time. It's been lies for decades.
Think about it this way: you essentially have two different “problems” you’re trying to solve simultaneously, flying the tanker and flying the plane being refueled.
As other comments have pointed out, the plane being refueled has much higher control authority and responsiveness, compared to the generally larger tanker. Also, given the two aircraft are flying in near identical environmental conditions because of their close proximity.
The “easier” of the two aircraft to fly is the plane, not the tanker. So your control algorithm (or pilot) flies the tanker and the plane just matches its control inputs plus a position offset.
Every time I visit an archive.today link from HN I get stuck in a weird pseudo-CloudFlare/ReCaptcha “prove you are human” page, and every time I click “I am human” the page reloads. Are these real?

MDMA-AT is definitely not taking it regularly. It is done only a handful of times, with pharmaceutical-grade MDMA and no other adulterants, in controlled doses, in a controlled setting. Very different than a Tesla pill at a rave every other weekend.
Ok, not regularly already makes more sense. Still the dosage would be very interesting, and the time interval. I didn't talk about tesla pills, but mdma crystals dosed with a high precision weight according to body mass.
That a tesla pill with 0-300 mg can be harmful is obvious^^
