Sucralose isn’t metabolized. The body excretes it in the same quantity you take in. Also table salt is half chlorine and not a health issue (at least not because it contains chlorine). The body is complex.

It is exciting. As long as overbuilding renewables is cheaper than grid scale storage, that will be the outcome. Battery advancements will probably eat away at this quite a lot though. What really will also be amazing is when the cost of re

Not if you’re on the verge of a heart attack. Also slightly more controversially, I think very vigorous/taxing sport (like marathons) could do more harm than good. Like a u shaped distribution where moderate exercise is the sweet spot.

I did, more than once. I’ve also hired many from those threads. I find it’s still my best source of quality candidates. LinkedIn stands out as particularly terrible.

That some people are expecting the recession really has no bearing on how strong it will be. That really has more to do with asset market prices than recession strength ( which incidentally don’t seem to have got the memo.) It really has to

On the other hand it could become a place to test ideas and port the winners over to rust. It’s not necessarily negative.

That's really interesting. Between this and TCP sockets you could now design really interesting distributed, stateful services on Cloudflare Workers. I'd love to design a database for this environment (if you're reading this

I don’t think you really know what you’re talking about. This won’t be used for fingerprinting. There are easier ways.

I don’t know where the link is at the moment, but I’ve heard it said that it would take about one mountain worth of lime, ground up and spread in the ocean to completely balance out the climate change up to now. I don’t know how much I trus

Why do they call that browser fingerprinting? That’s a clearly a violation of browser isolation policies, but I don’t see the connection to fingerprinting. Also there are much easier ways to do actual fingerprinting. That involves finding a

Thanks, I’ve heard about this, but never actually with numbers. It’s good to know.

Cloudflare has free bandwidth up to a point and then they will charge you. That’s not really that surprising though.

I think we have to get used to the idea that we’re not going to be less than 600 ppm, even with CO2 capture. I would be surprised if we manage to scale that enough to make a larger difference. But that’s still much better than we’d get at w

This is too close to home, we just set that at up at work. The developer who spent all week on it looked like he was questioning his career choices.

We’ve had rises in herpes viruses in developed countries. Shingles is a type of herpes virus. So I wouldn’t be too quick to make that judgment. Also in an aging population, it would have to be a relative rise in Alzheimer’s, not an absolute

The data from this study is pretty definitive that it decreases your odds, not increases them.

People buying into the hype too much? We've been early adopters of AI at my work, but we're still hiring. AI just improved our efficiency a bit. I think if you can replace employees with ChatGPT you probably didn't need them

I wish we could end all fossil fuel use by 2050, but even that won't happen. I do think we'll be using substantially less than we are today by 2050 though, so that's something. 2030 is impossible. The ice in Antarctica won&#

I don’t see how they have standing being up river. The deal can’t affect them thanks to gravity. If Colorado wanted to build a dam, that’s completely different and the other states would likely challenge it in court.

That’s just wrong. The comment you replied to is correct. In gambling the odds are against you. In investing the odds are with you (if they’re not, you’re doing it wrong!) you can get lucky or unlucky in either, but one has a negative expec

GPT is not going to make good bets. It has no current knowledge of the world, no logical thinking ability. Some investors don’t either, so the comparison might not be very unfavorable, but I don’t think Wall Street needs to be watching over

The same you get with ChatGPT - no guarantees. It's BYOB (Bring Your Own Brain), so don't trust it more than you would anything else you read on the Internet. I get that people have an objection to how LLMs invent things, but so d

If you use the API, which this clearly does, they don't train on the input. You can see their guarantees in their terms and conditions, but you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. I say reasonable, because in a company growing th

I can relate to this. I changed schools because of a move at the start of the sixth grade. It was a horrible experience. I dreaded going back there all summer. My brother and I saw a program on home schooling on TV, and I saw my path out. W

Open source is overrated, in my opinion. I’d rather a healthy commercial entity driving development and supporting it, with visible source that I can modify as a big plus. The whole OSI open source thing is nice, but it’s not going to matte
