Yeah, seems like there’s a big fight brewing over losing the status quo of having control of how humans interact with stuff, as agents come along and make it so we don’t need to wind our way through the digital ad mazes they’ve constructed

10GbE rj45 (normal ethernet jack) spf modules tend to burn power and get extremely hot, like to the point of burning you if you touch it - the manual for my switch said to leave adjacent ports unoccupied if using one of those. The fiber one

Thanks, I’ll take a look. Something to note is the acknowledgements, though: “This work was supported by the Soy Nutrition Institute Global, United Soybean Board, Corn Refiners of America, National Corn Growers Association, Canola Council o

Ah yeah, good point.

Interesting, thanks. Know of where to read the random trial results? Did they clear the chemically separated/deodorized oils from suspicion? While I err on the side of avoiding them, I don’t have too strong an opinion on this, because

So they do end up bearing most of the brunt of their own decisions. But you're also right, it's not entirely on them.

Well, the biggest consequences aren't financial, they're losing your quality of life, or your life itself.

First, a grain of salt, I'm certainly not an expert, I've just read a bit about the subject. You know how people like cold pressed extra virgin olive oil? Or avocado oil? Those are "high quality". Industrially refined&#x

Acetaminophen, honestly, shouldn't be recommended so frequently, especially for kids, and if he's against it, I view that as a big point in his favor. The distance between the therapeutic and liver toxic doses is too small for kid

As I see it, the point of this new pyramid is not to add more emphasis to meat specifically, but to undo some of the past vilification of fat (note the emphasis on whole milk and full fat dairy), and to move emphasis away from carbs as the

Thanks! I've been looking into this a little recently, so thanks for the very timely article and advice. Do you have any info on good ways to nail down personal sources of inflammation relevant to cardio health, or do you think that ju

Hm, so statins for everyone? What’re the downsides?

This is somewhat related to a large dataset browsing service a friend and I worked on a while back - we made index files, and the browser ran a lightweight query planner to fetch static chunks which could be served from S3/torrents&#x2

Yeah, wasn’t impressed with GN’s theories about the politics/motivations/etc behind these big market shifts. It’s much simpler, there’s limited supply capacity and a more lucrative use of the hardware now. The market will find a n

In the context of the massive amount of throwaway packaging involved in the food supply chain, or every other part of the supply chain for every consumable we use, how big a deal is that? Are electronics uniquely impactful in terms of susta

Haha yeah, Jerry cans plus genny seems like it might do it.

Yeah, I meant siphon gas truck-to-truck, but it seems most worksites would be wired or have generation of some sort, so mobile charger should be able to do something in a pinch. I have had situations where a normal 1400W wasn’t enough to ke

I guess you could strap a few kw generator in the bed with some jerry cans as backup. Would take longer, but if by loiter time you mean time out in the field where you’re not moving, then maybe that’d work. Would be cool if there was the eq

Seems like EV trucks need the ability to do the equivalent of siphoning gas, or carrying some Jerry cans.

Seems like someone motivated could make an open source alternative to ESO’s lineup and make it impossible for them to make a monopoly in that niche. I wonder if you put out a call to all volunteer fire departments, if they have enough devs

I found much better results with smallish UI elements in large screenshots on GPT by slicing it up manually and feeding them one at a time. I think it does severely lossy downscaling.

Don’t have much to add except huge congrats on relaunching. What a move, not only bringing it back from the dead, but also doing it in a way that many people dream that companies would. I just bought an Apple Watch, but this is really tempt

If you make the carbon tax revenue neutral, and dividend out the whole take per capita, those below median carbon emissions should end up ahead, and it does end up resting on the wealthy, since carbon emissions generally scale with spending
