If zoidberg can be a doctor, pretty sure my worm can too!

People don't read EULAs, but they certainly notice when the "minimum specs" on the tin don't work. Such is life.

Looks like it's a combination of strong antimicrobial peptides and good antibodies. (They recently figured out a defensin responsible for the fungus resistance). Not sure about if you can just pop these AMPs into human blood and how lo

Imagine holding some study that can't even read a structural formula as the holy grail. The big R on any sulfonamide means that there's no "common SO3" as mentioned in the abstract. Disregarding that, just pull up any su

Ha, yes. The "sulfonamide" name may make it sound like just an OH acid/amine swap, but the buried part is that all such antibiotics have a big benzene ring hanging off the other end. The prototype is instead sulfanilamide. I

Blue sales ultimately can't hope to come close to what big brand ads used to give. And ironically enough, blue currently works as a crappy version of advertising thanks to the reply ranking. The promises of prioritizing "high-qual

The IARC lists do not answer these two questions on their own either, but with the "evidence level" groups there's at least some separation from alcohol down to aspartame. These levels are still insufficient for at-a-glance r

The way conservative distros define "stable" is part of the problem. For things less than 3 years old, going for stale versions often runs counter to "stable".

Considering this new treatment is just a single dose[^1] that hopefully lasts for quite a while[^2], it might actually cost a lot less in the long run. [^1] see FDA press release and monograph. addditional doses won't do much because b

It didn't quite register as a "display" font variant usually does for me either -- the only feature is the width (it's a nonfancy sans-serif, what do you expect) so it somehow just feels like it's been squished. Int

On one hand, social media sites tend to want to tell the target site "we brought you there" for some pretty traffic statistics and monetization. On the other hand, I seriously doubt HN, the news site of a VC company, actually take

The best thing a current compiler can provide is probably replacing intrinsics with more conventional-looking things like GCC's Vector extensions[1] and C++'s simd<T>. Even then you'd need to do a little bit of union wo

That's starting to sound like an RFID device, but with sound instead of radio waves. In this framework I guess the propeller-thing is analogous to a Crookes radiometer.[0] I wonder what would be the Great Seal Bug[1]? [0]: https:&#x2F

There's also the fun little dude called K3. Started as a cheapo synthetic form that causes oxidative liver damage in high doses, turns out your body makes it too when you take other forms of K -- it could be what the body uses to shi

It's a small chip connected to the motherboard via either the LPC bus or the SPI bus. There is no constraint on size except the bus dimension and common sense. If you want to draw a PCB, you can! Just like you can make your own USB-to-

There's definitely a tradeoff somewhere between fanciness and scan-ability though. Say we instead use a transparent mask, so there's both a discernable image in the back and a QR that gets reliably thresholded into the original.

The fancy Taiwanese method link is not working too well for me: it goes to a university news list (not a specific article) and every article fails to load the main image. http://vecg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/Projects/SmartGeometry&

Tricks like this are often implementation-dependent. Nobody says the scanner must use the center pixel, not an averaging of where the block is supposed to be. Heck, QR scanners are often sensitive to perspective even when the point of the f

The K1/K2 taxonomy is… not great, precisely because MK-4 and MK-7 can work quite differently. There are also forms of K not falling into either category, because microbes love to partitially hydrogenate the chain leaving you weird in-b

Humans are unreasonably good at doing well at Vitamin C doses that don't make sense in other primates. Megadose proponents point to chimps and suggest some 30 time increase from RDA numbers, but humans do just fine at ~100 mg per day.

7z does have two advantages. The main one is that lack of support is obvious, so nobody wastes time thinking the file is broken. The other one is that you don't use bzip2, which compresses worse than lzma and decompresses slower.

It's a brand new implementation under libarchive, so I'm pretty sure utf-8 will be available too.

Well, yeah. But the parent comment is insisting that the spiritual bits is doing something, and I was just way too lazy to look for a dose response study.

Well look, the sales pitch for SIT is that you get most of the HIIT goodness at three minutes per day of exercise. Now to hit the required intensity… how much is an indoor bike anyways?

The study actually shows ketamine works as well with anesthetia (45%) as without (40%), if you read the non-anesthetia study linked in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36030251 . (Of course you can argue they are not usi

This kind of headline made some round in Twitter a while ago and got justifiably ridiculed, so let me repeat those old points here. The study states "agents used for anesthetic maintenance included intravenous propofol and inhaled sevo
