I think such analogies are useful and have their place, but I’d be super cautious about taking it anywhere near that far. Reducing something as complex as mental health to a redox reaction is definitely more than a bit…reductive.

Yes this is very much the reason. It gets dry where I am in the winter, and it never occurred to me to do this. An older gent in a coffee shop once watched me try to turn a page, and enlightened me. I’ve met more than a few people who have

Depends on the context and social circle, like lots of post-slang terms for a class. It can be endearing (or endearing and patronizing), a general insult, a common adjective…

That’s good, because it’s total nonsense. There are many things that hold back cancer research, but this story of conspiracy is not one of them. Cutting edge pharma companies, believe it or not, have an incentive to cure cancer. Even from a

I guess left out the bit where I keep a bunch of text files of contacts to add in the same directory, to add when I have access to a keyboard :) A contact is just a bunch of fields and context. The context matters the most, as long as you h

The world does not work like that. Sure, for every person, there may be 100_000 that do not share their ideals. But even 10/100_000 would seem ridiculously high as a percentage of people who actively try to destroy and cannibalize th

I have a master sqlite file with an arbitrary schema that is constantly evolving. I go hard with the constraints and primary keys - so hard, in fact, it's nigh-impossible to add a new contact without cascading changes. I'm always

I also prefer not to have to think too hard when reading a headline. "7/67" saved me from thinking "10.4%? What's N?".

I remember when Verizon phone booths in the US started accepting the credit cards, for a while they would accept any 16-digit number with a valid IIN that passed the Luhn check.

How many of them do that every day? And of those people that do, how much do you think they spend on their bikes?

Not downvoting, but those two links don't really describe much - though they are part of the story. For other readers, here's a general takeaway - - Arrow Plasma was deprecated, and is now no longer even present in the Arrow proje

The other commenter answering you is, I think, trying to point out that the Arrow plasma store is deprecated (and no longer present in the arrow project). I think it's worth being a little more clear here - Arrow IPC is _not_ depreca

Sounds like some LLM hallucination to me. EDIT: Right after that I found another HN comment [0] by the same user (through a google search!)! [-1] Interesting IEEE rfc email thread on related to preamble puncturing misc (I have not yet read

Definitely better than it was 10 years ago. I've visited London once every 1-6 months for the past 10-15 years, and have noted a change. It's still not amazing, though - honestly, if they were to aggressively disincentivize diesel

I've never understood it when I meet men who only have male friends. I understand people are the product of their environments, how they grow up, etc. - but so many of the comments sibling to this one just confuse the hell out of me. M

Oh, I'm very well acquainted with Sectorlisp - I even have a scrappy local package on nixos to build, boot and launch a qemu repl for it locally! Somewhere around here there's an HDD in an X200 that probably still has it in the bo

Isn't that what the commenter you're replying to was talking about? There is no restriction against drafting, but Lael still imposed a restriction on herself against it. Pretty impressive!

I usually remote dev on an instance in a VPC because of crap like this. If you like terrible ideas (I don't use this except for debugging IAM stuff, occasionally), you can use the IMDS like you were an AWS instance by giving a local lo

Aha, that's pretty cool! Didn't even scroll more halfway down the page before my lizard brain saw some something resembling Peano numbers. Thanks for sharing your project, by the way - between this and the other one you linked, I

I have a computer like that, embedded in my head even! It's good for real-time simulation, but has trouble simulating the same human from even a couple weeks before. In all seriousness, it's simultaneously wondrous and terrifying

Rust is definitely not a simple language, I agree there. I am quite likely a bit naïve here, but I'm having trouble understanding why you hate that this is possible. Now, the macro system definitely can generate near infinitely-compl

Actually, I neglected to mention - these days this isn't ever needed likely because I just maintain tailscale/wireguard mesh. I pretty often will use apache guac or a VNC connection if I need to grab something sitting in a GUI som

(This is not advice, I certainly would assume there's a better way of doing this these days. There probably was at the time, too.) I used do this every once and a while. I just maintained a reverse ssh tunnel back to my desktop, becaus

There really should be at this point. Annotated radiology datasets, patients numbering into the millions, are the easiest healthcare datasets to obtain. I suspect there are many startups, and know of several long since failed, who trained o

You raise a good point (and I'd enjoy the hell out of that movie!). Whilst I still stand by my point, I agree it's more of an anecdote and effectively meaningless in the context I presented it.

In retail (or any market with elastic pricing, not sure if I'm using that term correctly), collusion is really hard to gain hard evidence (evidence that will hold up in court) using data alone. You need to use the data as a tool for

I recall there being a couple non-commercial ones on physionet trained on the MIMIC CXR dataset. I could be wrong, I'll hopefully remember to check.

Well, you hit the nail on the head with Ubuntu - I've been trying to cut that distro out of my life, and it keeps popping up every place I've worked at. I trust Debian dearly, but even then - there's just so much surface area
