Any idea if there is a plan to produce discrete LEDs that are tunable?

Yep, it wrecked my friend's thyroid and adrenals. I don't know what the drug was, but it was immunotherapy for stage iv melanoma.

Yep. My ex-wife has it and used it to gain sympathy and alimony but her tumors are non-functional and not growing. She discovered it in the late 80s(37 years ago).

They list Steve Jobs as dying from pancreatic cancer but that's not really correct as it was a different type than the aggressive cancer for which the advancement was made. Steve had an islet cell neuroendocrine cancer which is much mo

Speaking of refrigerators, are there any consumer level brands now that don't completely suck? It seems like longevity and reliability of refrigerators has fallen off a cliff lately. Major mfgs like Samsung and LG have serious issues

Lots of folks remember the 2m/440 activity in the days before unlimited cell phone minutes. Nothing compares to that. I'll say that, in my major west coast metro, the repeaters are pretty dead outside of nets.

It made more sense 20 years ago when it was more generally true. Veganism seems to have spread beyond the merely self-righteous now. It's a very old joke (possibly from the 90?s).

A friend of mine who is a former JPL mech engineer was working on an amazing, high pressure golf ball cannon until his city issued him a citation for his smaller gun. That pretty much ended his foray into pneumatic weapons. Shame, because

Back pain? Look into Dr Stuart McGill. Do his "big 3" exercises. Stop flexing your spine.

Too many people are extrapolating the curve to exponential when it could be a sigmoid. Lots of us got too excited and too invested in where "AI" was heading about ten years ago. But that said, there are plenty of crappy, not-AGI

If OpenAI is furiously buying GPUs to train larger models and Apple is handing OpenAI cash, then this seems like a win for Nvidia. You can argue about how big of a win, but it seems like a positive development. What would not have been pos

Apple could have moved on Nvidia but instead they seem to have thrown in the towel and handed cash back to investors. The OpenAI deal seems like further admission by Apple that they missed the AI boat.

That sounds like a feature that will have major, lifesaving impacts for 0.01% of users but will not matter at all to most folks(cue the replies from the 10 HN users who need to tell me how important this is to them). Also, wasn't this

Yeah, I know. I need to get another checkup but I've been through the cycle many times.. Get scoped.. Get told to take PPIs.. they make it worse.. At some point I just decided to manage it myself.

Yeah I occasionally take it or tadalafil for BPH/prostatitis because they have less side effects than alpha blockers. I've got GERD and a hiatal hernia and, man, it really fires it up. Chewing gum sort of helps. I also only tak

But it's effectiveness drops off as the inverse square so you better either have a real big one or one you can keep firing.

Yeah I've said for years that "stabby the robot" drone is only as far away as the solution to the power problem. You don't even need AI to locate a jugular. Plain old computer vision and thermals will enable a slicing

A lot of folks in Appalachia seem to live in conditions tantamount to a tent encampment. They're more spread out and not in the way of urbanites so we don't talk about it much.

Nah. Besides, I want them to continue to diversify in case there ever is an AI winter. If that happens, at least I'll get an updated Shield TV or something.

This is surprisingly common. C++ is huge and filled with many features that are only understood by a small subset of folks and so many teams have restricted coding standards that define which features can be used and how.
