That's for a liter of gaseous deuterium. According to the note in the last column, "Also sold by same supplier in the form of heavy water at price of 3940 USD per kg deuterium." Since a kilogram of heavy water is ~20% deuterium by mass, that means $788 per kilogram of heavy water. That would only come to $394 million for 500 metric tons of heavy water, significantly lower than the $1.5 billion found by kennend3.

The higher price kennend3 found could reflect the fact that Canada manufactured its own heavy water for building CANDU reactors in the 20th century whereas today there is more heavy water manufacturing capacity, including a large and relatively new plant in India: https://www.hwb.gov.in/heavy-water-plant-manuguru
Probably not the article to comment on then.
I'm not convinced that the writer didn't accidentally swing the results with that 50/50 Dem/Rep answer. In my experience, certain political groups are more likely to hop party boundaries than others, so presenting the parties as equal in the eyes of ChatGPT could have informed which classification it fell under. I wouldn't be shocked if the right-wing were less likely to opt for Dems than the left-wing is to opt for Reps (remember Ron Paul?)

I would prefer to see the separate trials shifting that preference. I'm willing to bet that it would likewise shift the outcome.

I don't care what you call it, if person A starts mistreating person B and person B knows how to deal with these situations, person A will quickly stop mistreating person B.

Your argument here appears to be that bullying if person A doesn't eventually fight back. I don't agree with that, but I'm not willing to argue over the names of things.

I'm obviously not using a throwaway account like you and so i am not willing to disclose details.

But lets say that in my industry this sort of "kickback scheme" is well known.

I saw it first hand, and have had friends tell me other instances of it as well. And i am NOT singling out "McKinsey" but consultants in general.

As for McKinsey, read the book, they provide examples of this.
Ok, best explained. If you had no prior bias, airborne spread was most likely cause for Diamond Princess pattern. Western society and WHO had a 100 year prior bias against accepting that respiratory diseases spread via the air.

It all comes back to the victory of germ theory over miasma theory. Germ theory is accurate but people got overzealous. Not all germs need be fomites.
You did a great job of summing up what I felt after reading the article and then reading comments here. I've lived long enough to see things that folks have pointed out get scorched by naysayers and later confirmed to be true.

One example that's stuck with me over the years is where Monarch Butterflies spend the winter. When I was growing up we were told "No one knows", and that was true. Then, in the 1970s, some guy and his girlfriend, who were not scientists, (Kenneth C. Brugger & Catalina Aguado) announced they'd found out where they migrate, high up in the mountains in Mexico, and they were immediately trashed by "professionals" who were quoted in the "News".

At time it seemed very odd to me that they were so quickly and harshly dismissed by the "experts" who hadn't been able to find or confirm where they went.

I prefer to keep an open mind, and in this case it's not a huge leap for me to believe there may be something to this. I wouldn't recommend folks start smoking tobacco but it's worth more study.

There is still vastly more that we don't know than we do know about biology here on earth and that will be the case for at least a very long time and quite possibly, and most likely, our entire human existence.
When a person is cognitively incapacitated, someone else can petition the court to appoint a conservator. The conservator can then forward the court order to financial institutions and gain control of all accounts.

However, this can be a lengthy process and sometimes things fall through the cracks. Bills often go unpaid for a while. The conservator might not even be aware of some accounts, especially if the account holder signed up for electronic statement delivery.
I think these folks should spend more time chatting with loved ones and friends. We should balance the zoomed-out view with a zoomed-in one every now and then.

I think a better analogy is whether Starbucks is allowed to kick customers off of their private property. Last time I checked they are.
People and companies get away with illegal stuff until / unless caught, prosecuted and punished.

You indicate its a genuine question, but I feel you'd have to have just landed on this planet for that to be the case. In kindergarten there are rules, and not everybody who doesn't follow them gets caught. Or if you have siblings, surely you've noticed they would sometimes get away with stuff - unfairly and agonizingly so. And onward it goes with life.
IMO that's what a good consultant does! I mean that's much more useful than the big 4.
It is a real threat. Is your app technically difficult to build? If it is then the threat is not as high as app that is easy to build but the idea is novel.
The first quote implies there's more things the injunction requires. Your second quote, the content of the the cease and desist clause, is covered by the injunction.

But the nasty water itself, which was claimed to be the source of the problem, is not. It's the rawness of the insides of the meat.
That would be wild if a treatment to long covid is smoking tobacco or nicotine patches. Mostly because no sane doctor would think to try that.

How long did you try them for? I would imagine it would take awhile for your body to get acclimated to it for effects to take on. 4-6 weeks+
I read here on HN before that yellow requires a manual signature on a paper from a higher manager. Because such fault affects their compensation and decreases stock value. Red requires signature from C-level. It's not automated at all, almost worthless dashboard.

Ha, nice work getting ChatGPT to do it. I started down the same route, but wanted to get it done fast so I'm just grabbing the relevant HTML and then adding a few styles to clean up things like controls.
Great idea!

I changed the prompt to this:
"Rewrite this for brevity, in outline form:"

I prefer the responses this way, rather than the 3rd person book report style the other prompt returns.
If I wanted something that was more akin to putting legos together that's definitely the way, but I found it quite enjoyable to go down to the low level of electrical design, and any application that can be accomplished by flipping a switch can be made wifi-compatible with an ESP32 module and a relay or TRIAC circuit (TRIACs are nice because they don't have a lifetime rated in switching cycles). I don't have to worry about my microcontroller phoning home if I wrote the firmware it's flashed with!
PSA: they sell Ear Wax Removal Kits which contain bottle of diluted peroxide and washer bulb.

You put liquid in your ear and wait for it to soften wax for the few minutes. Then you turn over so the ear is facing down and use washer bulb with water to wash it out. You can wash out most plugs like this without going to the doctor.

Also they sell bluetooth ear cameras on Amazon so you can take a look inside to see if it requires additional cleaning.
Having worked briefly with OpenStack and some years with AWS, I'd say OpenStack is great for what it does, but it does only a tiny fraction of AWS. For example, one of the more annoying findings was that security controls were utter garbage compared to AWS's policies. That said, if it does enough for you then avoiding lock-in is worth quite a lot in the long run.
Perhaps my French-born French professor had outdated information :-) I did find the prices to be notably low and identical everywhere when I visited, but maybe that's more a kind of cultural habit or expectation, than law, these days.
50-68% more protection which is better than the vaccine. And it did provide better outcomes when patients were treated with patches in the hospital.
We couldn't detect any problem accessing resources via CloudFront/AppSync. Maybe the issue was specific to ELB.

That's just not true. It's full of C code, even the HAL, which is a good thing by the way: https://gitlab.riscosopen.org/RiscOS/Sources/HAL/HAL_OMAP5/-...
It's a bit scary to give a techy with the belief that heavenbanning "is totally okay and would even be a net positive!" the keys to control and mutate a platform such as Twitter.

Does anyone else feel like the pace of transition to Dystopia is picking up steam?

I've had enough, I want off this ride.
All this compounded by the fact AWS builds on AWS. So there can be a disruption of a service, but it's not really the service's fault -- it's a upstream failure.
For me what did it was the way they managed (or actually really didn't) the transition from .NET Native and C++/CX to their replacements, both with much lesser tooling, requiring manually dealing with code generation, merging files, no designer, while their GitHub issues keep increasing exponentially.
>When did you start noticing this enter the mainstream?

I'm unsure of a specific time period that I'd feel comfortable putting on it, partly because it's honestly been an underlying aspect of tech/cyberpunk culture for as long as I can remember. I mean, go back to the early William Gibson stuff and the "Asian-Megacity-Tokyo-Aesthetic" is shoved down your throat - and I say this as a guy who thinks Neuromancer is one of the best books ever written.

I think the other issue I have with the Japan pedestal-ization that happens is that, if you actually live there, it's got its own arguably fucked up societal issues and isn't necessarily better than here - just different.

> Ivermectin improves outcomes in a hospital setting… but only in developing nations.

Precisely. The only studies I could find that were well done and did show correlation were in developing nations. Turns out that having parasites + a severe viral infection can be bad for you.

However, most intestinal parasites are cleared with a much lighter regimen that many ivermectin advocates were suggesting, some with megadoses that are harmful to the liver. There are other dewormers that are much better - some are even single dose.
I’ve been using software engineering principles in my data work (and plenty of SQL) and haven’t had a need for dbt.

SQL is amazing, I’m not convinced string templates and this one tool offer enough value to be worth the hype they receive.
ID card is not needed. There is no reason to hold one since they already have access to your data, and authenticate by your picture and other. Using a card just allows more fraud crimes, something that is already very bad in the US.
why isn't a human being enough? why do we require a paper trail to what is already here?

because we prefer to own things. it's always been all about whose is what. that's what any national ID says: "this person belongs to country which issued their passport".

but then, if I am really a free human being, why must I be treated as my country's property?
> There is reason to believe that most commodity software (e-commerce, content management, media asset management, any CRUD-with-makeup, infrastructure automation, etc) will be commoditized even further to the point that no software developer would be needed to create a product that leverages these approaches, or any reasonble combination of them.

But then:

> Sure, there will be a need to guide the AI to the best solution. A need to harness it properly. Some software development skills will be needed for that, and my guess is that this will become a temporary occupation in the near future, either explicitly or not.

So, just like every past tool that will “replace software developers”, it will “replace” them with a technology which (1) requires people with software development skills to effectively deploy, and (2) greatly increases the output of the people with software development skills so employed, increasing the demand for software development skills.

And that’s even before considering the problems you speculate on that LLMs won’t even be partially applicable to.
Pinball FX3 (available on Steam, and other platforms) is pretty good if there's specific real-world tables you're interested in playing. Volume 1 has Medieval Madness, which I have logged far too many hours in.
In my experience McKinsey (like most consultancies) does almost all its hiring directly out of college or grad school. Hiring outside those pipelines was becoming a little more common when I left, but I'd imagine it's still probably <10% of the total.

I don't think there'd be much hiring of already 'corrupt' people, but it's pretty reasonable that when you have a very competitive and prestigious position, on average, you might find that more 'cutthroat' people are more willing to invest time and energy to getting hired.

That's why DAB is crap. Because people are greedy and don't care about quality.
But are we confident GPT4 will fail in the same ways? What about 5? I've been coercing it to write code all day and it's honestly pretty good. It can get stuck, sure, but when it does and I provide it the compiler error it can fix in 50% of the time...

There have been multiple cases of "suicide by jet airliner" where the pilot waits until they are alone in the cockpit, then locks the door, and kills everyone on board by crashing the plane. They were overseas, with overseas airlines.

Anyway, the door isn't a panacea.
It's everyone choice - odd, ironic or appropriate - what to think of how GPT's answers to keeps getting quoted on the question of how to detect it.

The thing is, I'd see these answers as similar to everything else the program produces. A bunch of claims from the net cobbled together - I've read a number of Sci-fi novels and stories where "inability to understand humor" is the distinguishing quality of an AI (I'm guessing it extrapolated "hard create" from "hard to understand"). But that doesn't seem to be playing here where the AI mostly running together things humans previously wrote (and so it will an average amount humor in circumstances calling for it).

A reasonable answer is that the AI's output tends to involve this running-together of common rhetorical devices along with false and/or contradictory claims within them.

-- That said, the machine indeed did fail at humor thing time.
I’m not sure about the everyone having a personal AI, but I do think this will render the google search type experience obsolete. Being able to ask complex questions and get instant information on demand will change the way we interact with the world
me: There are two ducks in front of a duck, two ducks behind a duck and a duck in the middle. What is the smallest number of ducks there could be that fits this description?

ai: The smallest number of ducks that fits this description is five ducks.

me: What if I say it is three?

ai: If you say there are three ducks, then the description does not fit as there cannot be two ducks in front of and behind a duck if there are only three total ducks. The smallest number of ducks that fits the description is five.

me: If we have duck A, B and C in a row. A and B is in front of C. B and C is behind A. And B is in the middle.

ai: If we have duck A, B, and C in a row, with A and B in front of C and B and C behind A, and B in the middle, then there are three ducks that fit the description.

me: So, what is the minimum number of ducks that fit the description "There are two ducks in front of a duck, two ducks behind a duck and a duck in the middle"?

ai: The minimum number of ducks that fit the description "There are two ducks in front of a duck, two ducks behind a duck and a duck in the middle" is five ducks.

me: I just explained to you how the number could be three?

ai: You explained that if we have duck A, B, and C in a row, with A and B in front of C and B and C behind A, and B in the middle, then there are three ducks that fit the description. However, this does not match the original description, which states that there are two ducks in front of and two ducks behind a duck in the middle. With only three ducks, it is not possible to have two ducks in front of and two ducks behind a duck in the middle. The minimum number of ducks that fit the original description is five.

So there. ;)

I already had a Real ID but when I moved to New York and went to get my license switched they would not give me another one despite having proof of address, my SSN, my valid passport, and my existing valid Real ID. I have to go back with all of that and pay another $60 or something along with my birth certificate to get a Real ID from the state. Unbelievable hassle to get that thing.
Great observation. It’s why TSA is moving to facial biometrics. Less need for ID and suboptimal human evaluation of person->ID.

ChatGPT deflects questions about sources automatically, inherent in it's pre/post prompt-processing, on purpose. If you try to ask for a source it explains it is a Large Language Model and it is not connected to the internet and thus it cannot give you sources for its information other than it was trained on a large amount of information from the internet originally. It then says that if it were finding sources it would check to make sure they are reputable.

It is a decision from OpenAI to intervene and give this disclaimer. IMO this is one of the worst parts of this phase of the tech- it is way too confident an then when presses it currently doesn't have the ability to cite sources, because that simply ins't how deep learning works on a model like this.
Worded differently: Minimum $15 (average: $35) each time your helmet is stolen/lost/forgotten (from my experience as a cyclist: this is a much more frequent occurrence than losing the bike).

We'd be adding a new legal requirement for cycling. This would of course discourage financially struggling groups with more pressing issues at the front of their mind. If someone is living well below the poverty line, and they or their kids lose a helmet, through theft or otherwise, they may just decide to start walking 3 hours to work/school each day for a while. $15 each time you lose it may seem small to us, but for some parent it could be a choice between buying a new helmet and buying 2-3 days of MacDonalds meals for the kids. The over-arching cause of cyclist death is bad cyclist infrastructure. Solutions targeting anything else are just red herrings and detraction. Bike helmets should be encouraged but not enforced.

PS mandatory bike helmets would inevitably drive up the price of bike helmets beyond minimum $15.

Yes, on anyone who works to earn a wage rather than owning appreciating assets, basically.

I don't know, maybe it won't happen. But the signs are all pointing in that direction, so I'm kind of resigned to it going that way eventually. Probably it will start by restrictions on large cash transactions, and on owning or carrying large amounts of cash. Then fees for withdrawing paper cash from bank accounts. Perhaps retailers will be allowed to add fees for cash transactions, too. The last step would be deprecating cash altogether, allowing banknotes to be deposited but not withdrawn (withdrawals will be as a CBDC).

Just my guess on how it will go.
