Well, it’s also the courts. The government recently tried to break up Google but the judge refused

It’s hard to tell at this point. You’ll get two more cores and more memory but they moved to chiplets which could hit performance on this first try. Best to wait for actual benchmarks

I agree. While I really like the idea of being able to query some of this data, it's another system to maintain. I have a system where I use a calendar, physical folder, and notes/folder in the cloud. Call me lazy.

Algal ALA has a different chemical makeup https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Omega3FattyAcids-HealthPro...

Edit: I think you mean Algae (which is EPA) Edit2: My mistake, I read Algal as ALA rather than Algae (algal)

That's part of my question. ALA is supposed to not convert to DHA easily.

But these results seem to say at higher concentrations ALA lowers risk of EOD. Which tends to refute the belief that only DHA/EPA lower chronic inflammation or that EOD is not just a story about inflammation.

> Compared to participants at Q1 of DHA, those at Q5 of non-DHA showed a significant lower risk of EOD. A statistically significant lower risk was observed in Q3, Q4 and Q5 of non-DHA omega-3

If I'm reading this right, if you can't get many fish sources in your diet, it's better to increase the quantity of non-DHA sources (certain seeds, oils and vegetables). But my understanding is non-DHA is not helpful so I may not be understanding correctly

The 1password blog links to a better Cyberinsider.com article that I think covers the issue better. One suggestion from that article is to check the skill before using (this felt like a plug for Koi security). I suppose you could have a claude.md to always do this but I personally would be manually checking any skill if I was still using Moltbot.

I doubt this would be legal unless proven to be a national security issue (1st amendment grounds).

Who said? You are posting a link that also makes an unverified claim. I personally never heard this claim about mRNA vaccines.

I’m not sure this is exactly true. If your foreign workers are a service contract then those are services expenses immediately deductible. Same if you are using local service contracts. My understanding is this creates a drag for companies that want to hire f/t.

This is the issue with these kind of discussions on HN. “It worked great for me” or “it sucked for me” without enough context. You just need to try it yourself to see if it’ll work for your use case.

This has been debated about glinet stuff in the past. I don’t think everything gets open sourced but it has open source code for parts of it
