runit doesn't propagate SIGTERM to services it starts.

It does if you use SIGHUP.

Transcoded (ouch) or just remuxed to a mov container? Have to investigate.

atahanacar commented on Why not use DNS over HTTPS (DoH)?   bsdhowto.ch/doh.html... · Posted by u/Bogdanp

DoH does wonders against ISPs which filter DNS traffic (including traffic to third-party DNS servers). This happens more often than many people realize. My ISP blocks traffic to a couple of random websites (perfectly safe and legal) just because their security system doesn't like them, and they can't do anything about that. I only wish for more websites to deploy ECH, because they are using SNI filtering as well.

>they are using SNI filtering as well

This is surprisingly easy to beat using very funny methods, like splitting the request in the middle of SNI, or sending a request with a low TTL to an unblocked website first which gets dropped then repeating it to the correct SNI.

There are more methods all of which I find very funny for some reason. You can use GoodbyeDPI on Windows and zapret on Linux.

Tumors excreting chemicals to prevent destruction doesn’t sound like DNA damage, that sounds like evolution.

We know some cancers can be caused by viruses. And we know a few cancers that act like viruses in dogs and Tasmanian devils, and some rare cases in humans.

We only figured out that ulcers are bacterial in origin within the lifetimes of many HN readers, and there are signs that other GI issues may be bacterial or viral (or bacteria-targeting viral) as well.

Maybe we need to start culturing and DNA testing cancers.

One cell's DNA damage is another cell's evolution.

If they only differ by a dot, this could be legitimate papers being translated poorly. I don't see what the big deal is. Is the suggestion that these journal articles just AI garbage? I thought the editorial boards were supposed to be able to put a stop to that.
atahanacar · 4 months ago
I'm assuming they are using LLMs for translation, which makes this mistake as it already knows about "vegetative electron microscopy".

Slightly (or very) off topic, but I think it fits so I will write what I feel about people talking about their AI experiences. Feel free to ignore my opinion. I just wanted to know if there is anyone who feels the same way.

Listening to someone talk about "their chat with ChatGPT" etc. feels very annoying. It's like they are explaining a dream they had in detail but even less informative or useful because a dream might suggest something about their state of mind. However, content like this (to be fair, this specific one isn't that annoying to me especially compared to "AI said this and that" kind of stuff) has absolutely no constructive value (to me) and feels almost schizophrenic. Maybe I feel this way because people around me, unlike the average HN user's social circle, have only superficial idea about how AI works but are very interested in using it.

Inside of a stomach basically. A polypoid lesion, which I can't tell apart the exact diagnosis but the filename suggests is a neuroendocrine tumor.

> If you ever doubt it, go check out Google Takeout. You'll be shocked at the amount of data you see there.

I sign in browser-wide and I do takeouts regularly. I don't see my browsing data.

> It doesn't ship with most essential apps, including a Phone app. In previous versions of Android, all of these were a part of AOSP.

And back when they were part of AOSP I never saw these example apps in the wild. Every vendor ships their own phone app. Every single one.

There's some "hey we compile a extremely old and vulnerable version of AOSP"-style Android distributions, mainly advertised for builtin su/Magisk or "degoogle", which did use these example apps, though.

I agree with other critics, they are toxic.

atahanacar commented on A Prescription for Fixing the US Healthcare System   conversableeconomist.com/... · Posted by u/paulpauper
rawgabbit · 10 months ago
I believe the discussion of the “fix” for Healthcare as who has insurance and who doesn’t is wrong. Same with co-insurance or no co-insurance.

The fundamentals is that as a society we are getting older and sicker. Insurance fundamentally is about cost and risk sharing. The young are paying into a system that is mostly used by the old. That is unsustainable. In a private market, we are seeing doctors refusing to join certain insurance plans. And some insurance plans dropping certain coverages or pulling out of some markets.

I believe the fundamental fix for an aging sicker society is more healthcare and more affordable healthcare. Train more doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare providers. We need to increase supply to catch up with demand.

>The young are paying into a system that is mostly used by the old.

Another perspective: the young are paying into a system that they will mostly use when they are old. The old are using a system they paid into when they were young.

I'm confused wasn't the FOV 180, but he couldnt use it cause he couldnt put it in his eye, so he was looking from a few inches away so it was ~20deg fov cause.... it wasnt in his eye lol
atahanacar · 10 months ago
>the lens has a 30° FOV, but I can tell you that the perceived one was less. One of the reasons is that these lenses are made to show full FOV when they are worn on the eye, but of course, I could not do this test, so my perceived FOV with the lens close to the eye was probably just in the range 10-20°.
