Note that the gold produced is gold-203, which is radioactive and decays into mercury-203 (also radioactive) in a minute. It is not the gold that we know of, which is gold-197. It is not the first transmutation of lead into gold by far. A t

GP is right, he is not "completely" American in the sense that he is both American and Peruvian because of his dual citizenship. He also spent most of his life outside of the USA. Which I think is a great thing as the representati

For the insulin thing, maybe you are thinking of Martin Shkreli. What he did got him in prison more than he got him rich. For the pollution thing, the truth is that many of those who got rich polluting the rivers and such actually produced

There is still an advantage to using Qt over dozens of libraries that offer the same functionality. Qt is backed by a single company, so all you have to watch out for is that company. Also, Qt is generally high quality, I have worked with i

The thing is, your "roll your own" auth is likely way smaller and less targeted than the library everyone uses. So the new exploits may simply not apply to your case. Many famous vulnerabilities happen in parts of software people

In this study, responsible means owning the industries that cause global warming. But it doesn't actually say much about warming, it is just a proxy for wealth inequality. According to [1], "In the first quarter of 2024, almost tw

Bash is my primary entry point for using Linux. Bash is also used by admins. Using Windows is mostly GUI first, and traditional (DOS) command line second. Powershell is mostly used by admins.

I think that it is simply because the situation is less problematic than with live events. In free countries, and especially the US when it comes to trade, the idea is that people can do whatever they want unless it causes a problem, and if

I am beginning to think that the terrible situation with dependency management in traditional C and C++ is a good thing. Now, with systems like npm, maven or cargo, all you need to do to get a package is to add a line in a configuration fil

For me, if it is a line and it goes through the land (i.e. by wire/fiber), then it is a landline. As opposed to signals going through the air, i.e. by radio. Except in very special cases, like emergency phones in ships, it is never a d

Just paste the full text and ask a LLM to summarize it for you. It feels like we are getting to this weird situation where we just use LLMs as proxies, and the long, boring text is just for LLMs to talk to each other. For example: Person A

As a programmer, I really liked XHTML because it meant I could use a regular XML parser/writer to work with it. Such components can be made small and efficient if you don't need the more advanced features of XML (ex: schemas), on

So what? Do you mean it is not analog and latency is higher as a result? Then yes, it matters. I hate latency in voice calls, I already went into arguments because of that. I remember in a remote work meeting, we had a frantic discussion, w

My guess is just that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi came first, and when wireless USB entered the party, there wasn't a real need for it, as most of its use cases were already covered by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It maybe could have worked with bette

I'd say it mostly misrepresents Europe. A combination of Europe being generally close to the pole, so the projection makes it look big, and the large number of small countries and fine geographical features, giving it a high concentrat

I have been told so often about how the Mercator projection misrepresents the size of countries that seeing it like this is underwhelming to me. It turns out that even when put in the middle of Africa, Russia is still massive. And even with

Is the LLM reset between each event? If LLMs are anything like people, I would expect a different result depending on that. The idea that random events are independent is very unintuitive to us, resulting in what we call the Gambler's
