It's always been curious to me that a number of things we do some to be counter to our own bodies' healing mechanisms.

Besides trying to reduce inflammation, the other big one of course is antipyretics, or fever reducers. Fever is a big trigger for our bodies' innate immune system, both helping to denature bacterial and viral enzymes and triggering the recruitment of defense cells. Suppressing the fever unnecessarily (i.e. when the fever itself isn't causing harm) seems to have a significant effect on the body's ability to fight pathogens.

> "the use of antipyretic drugs to diminish fever correlates with a 5% increase in mortality in human populations infected with influenza virus and negatively affects patient outcomes in the intensive care unit."

TikTok and other social media need to be fed culture to have something to work with. Enough people watching current TV shows is what allows TikTok riffs and commentary to get popular in the first place.

Case in point, AFAIK the most recent craze on TikTok (and subsequently, on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, as these days they're downstream from TikTok and just rehashing or commenting on it) is "Wednesday dance" and other memes related to the new Addams family show on Netflix.

Did that work? I approve of the trend towards letting the body heal itself when possible. But I thought displaced bones generally need to be set, otherwise they can heal with incorrect angles and lose functionality, range of motion, etc.
My job involves working with the Facebook API, and it's very clear they have various "computer says no" systems they can't debug effectively. There are tickets in their developer support system that've been around for years now with stuff like "posts with a dollar sign to a Facebook Group fail in the API" (which is almost certainly a bug with their "should this be a Marketplace listing?" detector).

Every month or so we get a notification from their bug system that there's an "update on your ticket", which turns out to be an automated "there's no update, sorry" notification.
Thanks, will put that one on the list :D
I would recommend using the lwarp package for turning large latex documents into HTML. Pretty much all other converters attempt to parse the tex files, which is an almost hopeless task. Lwarp has a different strategy: it redefines all macros to produce HTML (e.g. \textbf{example} writes "<strong>example</strong>" into the output pdf) within latex, thereby producing a PDF containing HTML code. It then uses a pdf2txt extractor to get the finished HTML file. Thus, it uses latex to parse the latex.

Lwarp worked for me to produce an HTML version of the TikZ documentation (https://tikz.dev), and that's probably one of the more complicated tex documents that exists. (Though granted, this was still a major effort.)

"We also question the use of cryotherapy. Despite widespread use among clinicians and the population, there is no high-quality evidence on the efficacy of ice for treating soft-tissue injuries.

So voice chat must now be turned off by default for all children across America? How on earth is this supposed to be policed? Should everyone playing a game be required to upload ID? And what is the gate between on and off by default? A single button press?

This one doesn't make any sense to me. Voice chat is a staple of online games. Having a core feature included in a game by default is common sense.

Well, they are at the forefront of two techs - batteries (which is more traditional engineering) and autonomous driving (which despite the problems, they are still known for).
The cited article says:

"Fast fission of the tamper and radiation case is the main contribution to the total yield and is the dominant process that produces radioactive fission product fallout."

The way I read that, even in a large H-bomb, little of the yield is the direct result of fusion reactions. Rather, the neutrons produced by the fusion reaction dramatically increase the efficiency of the fission reactions, which on their own would not produce enough neutrons to fission more than a small part of the fissile material before the device disintegrates.
Heh, I also write papers in org and am currently writing my dissertation in org.

Source code is always a pain to export for PDF, especially when switching from 1 to 2 column layout depending on the publication.

My blog is written in org too, but I post-process to make it fit in with the rest of my static site. At some point maybe I'll get enough free time to swap out my makefile setup for org-publish, but if it ain't broke...

To anyone who'll listen I advocate for org-mode as a better alternative to Jupyter notebooks, Markdown, and LaTeX. It's in some ways the antithesis to "do one thing well". If you try to do N things well while adhering to the unix philosophy you end up learning N different tools. But org-mode is one tool that does N things well, and some of the things you learn doing thing N transfer to thing N+1, so you get economies of scale.
Creating these foods is engineering, we shouldn't conflate it with science or medicine. Engineering can serve a lot of functions in society no doubt, but the price signal baked into the engineering process often makes it so that long-term human welfare is averaged out to matter very little.

My man, look at your second paragraph, even the high tech mitigation strategy you came up with is what can be done in short enough term to be part of a product development process, it won't change anything from the situation now.

The problem is not acute toxicity that is measurable in the short term, we have that nailed down or else people would be dropping dead fulminated from new Oreo flavors, but rather very long-term effects, sensors to respond rapidly will do nothing when the problem is what your diet does to you over the course of years.

Abstracting over cloud resources is inherently very leaky. Yeah, S3 compliant buckets work, but that's the simplest example possible. Even then, if you're working at scale, you still need to keep in mind features like (AWS) Intelligent Tiering, GET/POST/PUT costs, cross-region costs. This can be the difference between a 15k and 150k bill, you don't want to abstract over it. What's the point of a cloud language if I have to care about the specifics if I'm doing something at scale with it? I can just keep using Java or Python and the respective SDKs.

I don't want to write all of my stack in a cloud programming language. Especially one that is completely new and not cross-compatible with any other language. This isn't just a small thing -- it's a complete dealbreaker. There's no tools, no libraries. It's been a decade since Nim has started development and look at its progress now with so much interest behind it. Creating PLs and compilers follows the 80/20% rule.. it will take mountains of work to even make the compiler truly optimized and usable, and that's a basic prerequisite.

The cloud simulator is cool.. but there's already localstack which will simulate AWS services much more faithfully. If you don't have faithful simulation (and you can't do that for every cloud service), you can't use the simulation for anything besides playing around anyway. In which case, why not have a dev/testing environment and kill two birds with one stone? There's no point to unit testing cloud things, that's basically all integration testing anyway. You can unit test the code that interfaces with the cloud using the same language-specific tools that have always been used.

I have a lot of respect for Professor Tim Flannery - he’s a great science communicator and hosted a heap of shows in the early 2000’s.

He fronted a parliamentary hearing on climate change some time around 2010, where a heroic Liberal minister stated something along the lines of ‘you’re a palaeontologist, not a climate scientist, so you’re argument is invalid’. It was pretty sad to see.

Even being a climate scientist back then was cause for your credentials to be brought into question, let alone one from a cognate field.
Twitter and Facebook could disappear tomorrow and I wouldn't care at all. Folks should rediscover the personal empowerment of blogging, and the joys of the early days of the 'net when the power was much more widely distributed. When Twitter came out it was called microblogging for a reason. I never really got Twitter and always considered myself to be a doof as a result, but maybe there's something to it. Decentralized blogging and microblogging is where it's been and is at if you want to own your own voice. Of course it's not the same megaphone as these concentrated centers of media power are, but then again, you trade off control for amplification. Those two things should be loosely coupled.
> Acute inflammation is there for a reason; it helps repair tissue damage.

Inflammation is primarily to address severe trauma, like having a limb severed or torn apart. That doesn't necessarily mean it's good for all tissue damage, but evolution often can't make such fine distinctions, so our body triggers inflammatory responses even when it's counterproductive. The inconvenience a counterproductive response is much better than the death that follows from not having any response.

A lot of medicine is about controlling the body's inappropriate inflammatory responses. We don't always have a good handle yet on when the body's inflammatory response is good vs. bad in all cases, which is why the debate over icing is ongoing, but it is clear that it often isn't beneficial. I think it's also clear that icing and NSAIDS for chronic inflammation are not good ideas.

Stocks that trade under $5/share are considered "penny stocks", exchanges generally don't want penny stocks on their list because they don't want to endorse them. They're highly volatile, and can be easily manipulated.

I believe for DIJA if they have a valuation under $2 for longer than a year they get delisted.

This doesn't mean you can't trade them anymore, they just become OTC (over the counter) stocks. Many brokers offer access to OTC stocks, but liquidity is a real concern with those stocks.

In 5 years of getting support emails for Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/), LG monitors were the least mentioned of all. They seem to have the best DDC compatibility of all monitors.

I also keep a public monitor database here where you can check if a specific monitor usually works with DDC or not: https://db.lunar.fyi/

The problem with LG is that they report very generic names so they can't be filtered well in the database. You can see what I mean with this query:

SELECT DISTINCT ON ("DisplayProductID")
name, ddc,
"resolutionString",
"refreshString",
"dotsPerInch",
"isHiDPI",
"isRetina",
"DisplayProductID"
FROM
displays
WHERE
ddc AND "is4K" AND width IS NOT NULL
AND NOT "kCGDisplayIsVirtualDevice" AND NOT "isAirPlayDisplay" AND NOT "isTV"
AND "DisplayProductID" != 0 AND name NOT LIKE 'Unknown Display%' -- Filter out those in a semi-connected state
AND name LIKE 'LG%' AND "DisplayProductName" LIKE 'LG%'
ORDER BY
"DisplayProductID" DESC
LIMIT 10;

Also keep in mind that the GPU used and the hub/dock/adapter can affect this, so aim for as few indirections as possible. A direct connection is almost always the best.

> All the "alternative" social media projects introduce more problems that they solve and even refuse to see them as problems.

This seems like you simply disagree with certain platforms about what the relevant problems are. Most of the people moving from Twitter to Mastodon, etc, simply want to maintain their networks in what they perceive to be a stable environment (which Twitter no longer is.) And Mastodon in particular, being federated, solves the problem of ownership over data and decentralized moderation, which many people (particularly in marginalized groups) care about.

And of course there are other alternatives that go in the opposite direction, eschewing identity and moderation altogether.

What problems do you think they should be focusing on, that they aren't?
Indeed they don't.

> laser was a pop science laughing stock, more or less.

Yup:

In college English classes I took, they wanted the students to write term papers. Ah, sure, they expected some review of some case of belles lettres, maybe Medieval French romantic poetry!!!!

Instead, in one case, I picked the transistor and another, the laser.

For the laser, I had no idea of the applications. For the transistor, all I knew was, what it seemed was all Bell Labs had in mind -- replace their usage of vacuum tubes, that is, analog amplifiers and not digital, Nyquist sampling, etc., even though Shannon was at Bell Labs, etc.

The idea of a few billion transistors on a sheet of silicon about the size of a large postage stamp, 16 cores, 64 bit addressing, 4.0 GHz clock, etc. -- beyond all expectation or belief. The graphics processors -- still less belief! Lasers sending trillions of bits per second per hair-thin glass fiber -- not even ready for science fiction!

No doubt I picked the transistor and the laser out of media hype. So at least some people in the media expected something from those two. Here the media was not wrong, and in the long term the hype was way below the reality.
The real shocker is that it’s 2022 and LaTeX is still the best writing environment for a PhD thesis. It has so many downsides: the markup syntax is ugly, it really works best only if one used paginated output such as PDF, a zoo of partly incompatible packages, need for compilation, obscure figure placing algorithms that are difficult to control, and so on.

It still beats the competition because of rock-solid referencing, both to in-text elements like equations, chapters, etc as well as citing literature with bibtex.

Plus, it’s extremely stable, so someone who learnt LaTeX 20 years ago, like yours truly, can download the newest TeX distribution and feel at home immediately.

Nevertheless, I would prefer a Markdown-based system that can use CSS and MathML, and has a 100% bibtex clone for references.

Yes, pandoc goes quite a long way along this route, but setting up such a pipeline is still too complicated for many.

What a terrible company with terrible processes. I'm glad i stayed away from them. On the other hand taking advantage of that sweet investor money would have been something.
The reason it looks that far away is that NIF uses lasers from the 1990s with only 0.5% efficiency. Equivalent modern lasers are over 20% efficient, which would put overall net energy gain only one order of magnitude away.
