That's surprising to hear a story about under-treatment in the US. In the UK rabies vaccination is easily available from pharmacies, for a fee. The nurse practitioner I saw recommended me to get the vaccine since I was travelling to a

Whether or not to trap the bat requires some common sense specific to the situation, perhaps you can effectively trap it by closing a door for instance. However if like GP you've already trapped the bat then you should definitely not r

If this happens, do not free the bat after trapping it! Instead contact your relevant disease control authority so that the bat can be tested for rabies. Otherwise doctors will have to assume you've been infected and treat you regardle

Yes, Germany is an extremely low-trust society masquerading as a high-trust society. Herzner get flack because they are probably the only German entity that the average HN user has dealings with. Anyone who has had exposure to German bureau

The difference in philosophy is: who is responsible for scheduling work? Is it the language, or is it the developer? In JS it's the language, for example node sits on top of libuv which is responsible for managing the thread pool and d

An LLM is essentially playing blindfold chess if it just gets the moves and not the position. You have to be fairly good to never make illegal moves in blindfold.

Given that the accused is currently in control of the crime scene, it's not surprising that the prosecution chose to prioritise the crimes that are easiest to prove.

Twitter is a global social network. Clearly Musk made some very questionable business decisions e.g. changing the name, the aborted attempt to ban links to outside profiles, etc, but that period seems to have settled, and the main reason

If you think about it, if the attacker is sophisticated enough to break the phone within a 72 hour window, then they are definitely sophisticated enough to use a faraday container. So communication between phones wouldn't help very muc

Probably a bad example, P vs NP is the most likely of the millennium problems to be unsolvable, so the answer may be "never". I'll bet the most technical open problems will be the ones to fall first. What AIs lack in creativi

The definition is shifting but in the opposite direction. If you'd showed one of these models to an AI researcher in the 90s or 2000s they would have been jumping up and down shouting "that's AGI!" As we've been abl

Turning that on its head, Trump's political positions are just as fluid as his allegiances. I don't believe that Trump really cares about section 230, but Musk definitely cares a lot as he has $40B invested in an edgy social med

Given that Musk is Trump's primary backer, will Trump really sign off on a repeal of 230? Would be quite the slap in the face.

It's absolutely for that reason. TSMC might as well be Taiwan's defence force, given how useless the real military would be if invaded by PLA.

This is a great idea. Perhaps add a moderate delay (say 30 seconds or 1 minute) to confuse them even more. Then they will think that airplane mode is active when it isn't.

Apple sells Macs. The Mac platform is enhanced by the existence of Pixelmator as an exclusive app. If Pixelmator were to disappear then the value of the Mac platform would decrease. There is nothing that the Pixelmator team could do to the

This would be very short sighted as Pixelmator adds way more value to the Mac platform than a better Photos app.
