So the stone was supposed to be boiled in milk right? And then applied to the wound? Since they mention cauterization as an alternative treatment, could the benefit come simply from applying a boiling-temperature stone to the wound?

I have a sort of alternative explanation to your four. One thing I've noticed with pot smokers is that many seem to be almost in love with the drug. I have had people try to explain to me the manifold benefits of hemp fibers or CBD or

It's amazingly ironic that a charity focused on aligning AI couldn't even align its own CEO.

It's lowkey flabbargasting me that I can't do both . Like install the OS's on one disk/partition each, and VM whichever one I'm not currently booted into. It feels like something that should be possible in current

And yet big companies somehow pay higher wages. My hunch is that they can afford to pay higher wages because while big-tech employees may spend 7:30 a day on scrum poker or whatever, those last 30 minutes they are actually chipping away at

The difference is that people buy a phone because you need a phone to function in the modern world and then play games on it because might as well. Whereas people buy a console specifically to play games. That means the gamedevs have more l

I looked into it further and it seems "Class 1 solvents such as benzene should not be employed in the manufacture of drug substances, excipients, or drug products because of their unacceptable toxicity. The guidance notes that if benze

ppm sounds kind of the wrong thing to consider here. Like my intuition says it's the absolute amount rather than the relative abundance. It was a long time ago that I had acne but I remember with some of those creams you just needed a

Reminds me of the politician's syllogism: [news is dying so] We must do something. This is something. Therefore we must do it.

It's a small thing, but many small things can add up to one platform feeling nicer. Like personally I can't stand the Apple ecosystem, but I know many that prefer it these days.

I actually disagree with that. Exceptions have their problems when used for error handling, but they are a great solution for error not -handling, and normally index out of bounds is a bug that you can't / don't want to reco

It may not be in the memo, but I do think it's coming, at some point.

std::vector is bounds checked if you use .at() instead of operator[]. But it's less ergonomic and I don't think people typically use that.

Hiding irrelevant details from people that don't care about them is just a UI-puzzle that should be possible to solve imho.

It's all quite confusing. A non-profit can as you say turn a profit but isn't supposed to distribute it to owners. There is a difference between positive cash flow and profit as profit has differences in accounting rules. If you i

I think a more correct analysis is to see the party as its own class, whose primary allegience is to itself, and whose secondary goal is to balance the power of the workers and capitalists, trying to ensure neither becomes too strong. The s

Right that makes sense. I guess what happens in all of these scenarios is having an extra copy of one particular gene, causes it to become overexpressed, which in turn leads to all these issues?

Given that Down Syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome, I'm kinda curious how that would be inherited. Like if you have two people with Down's would there be a possibility of offspring with an extra chromosome pair ? Could tha

Only for black body radiation do we have a perfect correspondance between spectrum and intensity. But there can be other ways of radiating. Non-black bodies. Antennas. Lasers.

If we extract the maximum possible entropy of the incoming radiation wouldn't that mean we radiated at high-intensity but low-temperature?

In python 2, '/' creates integers, and the article was written in 2010 when python 2 was the most used by far.

HN has a long history of impartiality on ycombinator matters, so I don't think such accusations should be made without evidence of a pattern of it happening consistently.

For the specific case of neural networks they seem to be very resistant to noise. That's why quantization works in the first place.

I think the issue with this solution is that the seller loses control over their branding (namely what ads to show) if they do this.

Ideally they would fix it rather than give up on the idea entirely.
