According to the article, rule based patterns are already used, but inverse lithography is required in more unique or problematic cases. Ideally they would use it in all cases, maybe we end up with slightly wobbly but tolerable features for

I've used something to this effect before, and you can use child selectors on e.g images to effectively exclude elements. Note that the cost of this lazy method is very poor performance (css filter over the entire document), and lack o

I did interpret it as effectively reflecting along the same path, I was using "buffer" in a more abstract sense to compare how it would be processed digitally. But I don't doubt I've misunderstood something, my descripti

Yes, exactly, I came to the same realisation that was an appropriate label and made an edit to describe it as such. In fact comparing it to FIFO as you have makes even more sense so I've edited it again. Surface reflections are FIFO, b

Yes, however it's the consistent consumption of high quantities of alcohol that cause chronic illness, and it's the same behaviour that is problematic in food, this is what diabetes is, sugar ends up being toxic (glucotoxicity). E

The paper targets diabetic ulcers... it's literally a band aid on diabetes. This is the trend in medical papers currently, target diabetics, which there are so many of. It's really not much of a tangent.

Yes, these are all fair points, in a nut shell you could blame market forces and say industry behaviour is inevitable, which is what I was alluding to as the cost function. In other areas where this becomes a problem government intervene to

Nutrition is not that simple, you cannot trick the body with a miracle cure chemical. If you cheat the body of nutrients there will be long term consequences.

This is true, but it is a problem enabled by technology at the industrial level. Science could at least help reframe what has come to be accepted as "food".

I cant help but think when reading another paper with a "think of the diabetic masses" spin on it, how much pain an suffering could be avoided if as much focus was put on improving peoples nutrition at market scales. We know now t

This is already done in the visa process for countries such as China, and they do it the old fashioned way with paper and ink, then digitise it. This might also be how the UK end up doing it, if you don't have a smart phone with a fing

Same here I've used them for many years, but here I am being blocked, so it can happen. I've listed the banned servers in another response.

I'm not criticising anyone in particular, but I thought HN might be more open to a discussion about it. I would be interested in what mechanisms HN has chosen for blocking and why @dang if you know?

After digging through enough servers I eventually found some that worked, severs are being blocked in the UK. [edit] I've gone through all the UK wireguard servers and these ones are blocked: gb14-wireguard 185.195.232.69 gb33-wi
