This chemical is an impurity (0.67%) of the commercial sweetener sucralose and is also produced in the body from sucralose.

Sucralose-6-acetate, however, an impurity found in sucralose and produced in vivo from sucralose, is genotoxic. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37246822/ I would avoid sucralose. I have a suspicion it may be responsib

> Rugged environment requires cheap and robust hardware. I read this and immediately thought "lunar colony". And especially if that colony wants to make more of their equipment themselves.

I can access it fine (I am in the US). At this moment, 37.2% of the generation is from solar.

That just shows they diverged from crocodilians after that clade diverged from turtles. It doesn't show birds and dinosaurs are more closely related to each other than birds are to crocodilians (but the fossil evidence shows that.)

I meant, "we have no DNA evidence from non-avian dinosaurs". Saying that birds have the same DNA as birds is not evidence of much of anything. :)

That claim is widely believed to be bullshit.

by pfdietz 6mo ago
> birds are dinosaurs Not that I doubt that, but how does DNA help, when we have no DNA samples from dinosaurs?

Why would they ban people who violate other terms of the EULA? And yet they do.

Presumably Turtle WoW also had payment details. If those match up with the IP of someone playing WoW, Blizzard has a very good case for action. And yes there's a good reason: playing on a pirate server directly and explicitly violates

Unless you're the Chemical Force YT channel. "Let's add hydrazine to liquid ozone!" I imagine he goes through a lot of glassware.

I expect in a post-fossil age we'll get organic chemical feedstocks from biomass, and non-biomass solar will help with that by providing hydrogen for hydrodeoxygenation. That will roughly double the hydrocarbons one can get from a giv

We can, but ironically.

He's also making the case for radical downsizing of the US military, since he's shown the military's take that it won't obey illegal orders was a sham.

Probably neutron star collisions, actually.

Is Ladder Logic a programming language? It's used to program industrial controllers, and I don't believe it's Turing complete. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_logic

Br2 is quite toxic, yes, just like Cl2.

If you can scare the hell out of other people from using pirate servers in the future, you could come out ahead. And the money from shakedowns could be quite lucrative, if the volume could be made high enough.

One way of making bromine is just bubbling chlorine gas through warm seawater. This oxidizes bromide ions to bromine, which bubbles out.

It's important to understand it's not just the Turtle WoW people who violated Blizzard's copyrights, it's also anyone who played on Turtle WoW. They don't have licenses to use the clients, and downloading and runni

So, a conventional linked representation of a tree (but not a tree of cons cells).

Yes, and a similar question is the organization of the thing being acted on by the passes. If I understand correctly, this is in scheme and the things being acted on are trees with pointers. A performance optimized compiler, on the other

I might add another class of languages: those intended to express proofs, via the Curry-Howard correspondence. Lean is a primary example here. This could be considered a subclass of functional languages but it might be different enough t

Uh huh. How long was PV emerging before it crossed a threshold and took off? PV was invented in 1946 (exactly when is debatable; it could be said to have been earlier) and didn't explode until about 2010 (if not later). So your obser

Another direction to explore logic languages is Datalog.

I read what you wrote there several times and can't make heads or tails of what you're trying to say. Are you claiming genetic differences aren't why species are different? Are you claiming chimps and humans don't shar

by pfdietz 7mo ago
Yes, and there are also wide swaths of genetic traits that we have in common with other species. But it would be senseless to propose we're the same as chimpanzees. The point is it doesn't take much in the way of genetic differ

However, with a population of 8 billion and a genome of 3.1 billion base pairs, the entire space of single nucleotide mutations is produced in just a few generations. So any such useful single nucleotide mutation is going to become availab
