A measure which acts as a high and a low pass filter on a band of less risk which can be monitored by other means, or subject to improvements on measurements and narrow the central zone? Sounds bloody useful to me.

Do we yet have any good avoidance or mitigation regimes, be they drug or otherwise for people who show positive on a test like this? The alternative is that it lets you put things in place for when you lose agency. Good as in scientifically

Sometimes it IS good food. Protein is peptides. Collagen is peptides. Eat hearty beef stew, Salmon and you're eating .. peptides. Unfortunately many peptides break down in the GI tract. However there is some reason to believe eating pr

Change one word s/agreed/proposed/ and there's no problem. So, since we were all here last week, and recall a 3 day pause to finalise, did the 3 day pause mean agreeing or did it mean wanting to believe an agreement migh

As I understand it his suspension relates to his egregious racist comments in general, not Arday specifically. Terms of employment at a university often come with clauses with this effect, even as bastions of free speech institutions put ob

I do believe the choice helps. But i also believe Honda has better brand appeal overall and so it's not a/b testing as much as "shiny a++" / "dull commoditized b-" testing. It wasn't about carplay, it

Came across this in social media, felt its in the spirit of Lowe and other blogs in science. The NEJM tagline about the series: NEJM Voices is a clinician blog featuring short, personal essays grounded in real-world practice. Contributors

I liked the illustration highlighting the hedge around where some subgroups in the hominids branch. In the group, not sure when.

I was responding to a thread I thought implied economic downside in employment, as a fellow Australian I'm a strong believer in national health.

TIL. Yes, contrails reflect sunlight so in daytime reduce insolation but night time contrails reflect IR back groundwards and have a stronger effect so they are not net beneficial over 24h. Unless they encourage them daytime and deprecate t

Is there any reason to believe less healthcare professionals would be employed under a universal system? Insurance claims adjusters and call centre scripted finance deciders, sure. But actual health delivery agents?

I would be very surprised if the cost of the inputs being hoovered up by AI drops after this. Without ever forming a real cabal, I think the functional behaviour of the disparate people in this supply chain are going to hold on to the profi

If we set the barrier to entry in prediction markets to an equivalent of an age/height check on entry, it would be well north of "yes, I am a mom-and-pop first time investor, I have never been here before, I know nothing except wh

Not identical problem, but similar. If I have just read "Dombey & Son" and want to read more Dickens, I search "Dickens" and get Monica Dickens? ok, more fool me. But if I search "Charles Dickens" and get &

I use mbsync, to Maildir and then NMH Maildir to folder/file format. I step over the OAuth with email-oauth2-proxy. There are X frontends to NMH like Sylpheed or claws. They make sense.

A shout out to the fastmail management who acquired pobox.com and kept the domain going, leveraging the fastmail infra. I was really pleased my decades long investment in @short.name paid off, and I have been able to keep a short @pobox.com

love the use of "solid" when both numbers (50, and the other 50) are pure unobtanium pulled out of an orifice. "a lot" would be less rhetorically satisfying, but probably more appropriate. I suspect the number is in fact

Understanding that vendor-by-vendor, your Windows 11 PC may, or may not be able to handle these images because for a $1 bundling licence fee, some people cheaped out. And hand-installing the algo code is a tiresome one time process with if-

I'm down for a good political rant as much as the next guy but I can't make an HN moment in this. Is it about department of war using AI instead of people to decide things? Or Amazon's material losses in DC assets?

I have been told (perhaps incorrectly) that the Phillips cassette tape dimension is based on being able to source the full track tape stock and split it. The same story is told about Eastman Kodak and 35/70mm film stock, as well as 16m

It's an abstraction over an indirect measurement technique which is subject to many if-but-maybe issues. I'm not saying don't trust it but .. I am saying don't trust it without some alternate cuff/sphygmomanometer t
