> "The EPA report confirmed that GenX is associated with harmful effects on the kidney, blood, immune system, liver and development. The EPA also linked it to an elevated risk of cancer (suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential). EPA’s proposed health threshold, called a reference dose, for GenX is in the same range as EPA’s reference dose for PFOA (0.00008 mg/kg/day for GenX versus 0.00002 mg/kg/day for PFOA)."

The plastics industry is producing dishonest PR material on this issue - this one is from a site run by "The Plastics Industry Association", claiming that GenX and other 'alternatives' don't have the same health issues:

> "After the removal of PFOA and PFOS, companies developed alternatives to these long-chain fluorinated substances that perform the same tasks without the same environmental or public health risks. All of these replacements are safe to use according to governmental agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the EPA."
I use my foldable bluetooth keyboard. Using iAWriter and termux, I can write posts for my PHP and ruby based blogs, run my static site generator and publish via git. Termux lets you make a shortcut that runs commands.

I tried to make gtk3 GUI apps with ruby on termux, apparently termux now supports this new mode that works in the browser, but some libs seem to be missing! I think that would be a cool platform.

This is equivalent to saying, you don’t need a cure for AIDS. You can just avoid getting it by not having any sex.

This is easier for some people but not a solution for the general population.

Similarly, eating less is easier for some people while others are genetically or psychologically predisposed to eating more than they need.
While factually you are right, obesity is simply the result of consuming more calories than you burn, I think it's a little deeper than you present it. Obesity has become far more prevalent over the last few decades. I think it's related to overwork, stress and the general pointlessness of life that so many people feel. It's a mental illness paired with a will power issue.

Im well built, look decent with my shirt off and have a pretty good life but I hit a wall sometimes and just stress eat a gallon of ice cream. Lifting heavy weight for reps allows me to stay slightly ahead of my calorie consumption. I can see how a slightly more stressful life, less income and less time to work out could turn into a slippery slope where I would eat myself sick. I guess what I'm trying to say is that life is complicated. But your point stands.

There is way too much money to be made for AI manipulation to be straightjacketed with regulations.
You're still sending the data to OpenAI in the prompts. That's sending arbitrary text from my corporate slack to a 3rd party. Where you host my data before you send it to wherever isn't relevant.

Also, "We host with AWS" isn't really a response to "Will my data be secure?"
I love the idea of breathing new life into old hardware like this. I bought an X220 for $297 in 2015 because I needed a laptop for college and it was all I could afford. It’s built like a tank and has survive a lot that I put it through. I went through grad school with it and retired it after I graduated. The biggest thing that held me back was the screen resolution, but everything else was awesome (especially the keyboard). An x220 with framework guts and a better screen would be sweet!
Jumping on this thread! Does Cordura fabric contain PFAS? It’s the stuff a lot of tech backpacks are made of!
Night trains typically use slower routes and are parked somewhere during the night to ensure that you have enough time to eat something in the evening, get dressed for bed, sleep 8 hours, get up, get dressed again, and eat breakfast.

8 hours is definitely not enough time for a comfortable night train ride, especially if you travel with children. We took an 11-hour night train from Vienna to Zurich a few months ago with a 3 year old, and we would've been grateful for an additional hour in the morning.

I think this is a good approach. I've done some simple experiments with ChatGPT, firstly asking it to plan out a novel in three acts, then getting to to go into detail on the plan for each of the acts, then asking it to fill in some background on the world building (e.g. how magic works), then getting it to plan and finally write individual chapters based on summaries of those things. It makes a huge difference to the size and scope of what it's able to produce, but there are also clear issues around keeping enough of all that information in its window. Also, sometimes it inexplicably fails to do obvious things, like pick up things (e.g. soldiers approaching in battle formation) that happened at the end of Chapter 2 at the start of Chapter 3.

Another problem is that it likes to summarize rather than describe. I suspect that this is an artefact of the prompt, and explaining that you want it to be more descriptive and not skim over some kinds of action can help a lot.
Not at all short term. This is EXACTLY what fasting is. In fact a pill you could take in the morning that would suppress your appetite for 24 hours would be fantastic. You could use it three days a week with no ill effects and loose weight.

Indeed, '$' is a just bit flip away from '4' or 'd', and we end up with a user account that can be accessed by any password.
My experience with MDM is that it satisfies occasional customer requirements that employees have MDM on devices that they may use to access work information.

And basically the MDM requires that employees have a password set and that's about it.

There are certainly situations where there should be entirely separate work and personal devices but, in my experience, most people freely intermix usage.
Valve set a trap to catch and ban 40k Dota 2 cheaters
> The old business model of just charging a lot of money up front for the game seems like it wouldn't have this problem to the same extent.

The problem with such games exists as well but challenges are different:

- cheaters still have access to phished/hacked abandoned accounts that own the game that they can buy very cheap

- another way to get new accounts for cheap is to buy the games in countries where the games are cheaper i.e. argentina or turkey

- there is very little motivation from developers to completely stop the cheaters or slow them down (every banned account is a potential sale of new copy of the game) the developer benefits financially from cheaters continuing to evade bans

- the players hurt the most (who already bought the game and paid the developer) don't generate any new income to the developer and dont pose any risk to income generation unless they quit the game en masse (discouraging potential new players from buying the game)

With SBCL, the bare-bones image would be ±100MB, with core compression (a single flag to set in the .asd file) I get apps at ±25MB. The startup time of the latter is ±0.30s, the bigger executable is faster. My app would be a web app, with the webserver, templates, and many libraries. This binary also contains the Lisp debugger and compiler, which is useful to interact with it when it's running.

In a latest version, SBCL switched to compression with zstd, which makes the compression process 4 times faster, decompression around 2 times, and it saves around +10% more space.

On reddit (link below), a user speaks about LispWorks binaries of ±9MB.
It 100% matters what food you are eating, no matter who you are or what conditions you may have.
One of the flaws of our culture is that we madly overrate convenience. We think everything should be as easy as possible. It is taken as self evident but if you spend some thought on it it is hard to escape how important effort and accomplishment are. If we learn how to push ourselves we can take on slightly larger goals every time. Don't take my words as some kind of expert on the topic, if anything it reminds me constantly how damn lazy I am and how much worse it got. What kind of challenge you take up or find yourself in doesn't matter, it is all the same discipline. If I'm not careful the significant other will do all the house chores, cook the food and pay for everything. Imagine how appealing that sounds! This comment could have been a very lengthy article full of good references, the kind I haven't written in a long time. For this audience it could have used programming as it's context. What if after learning to read and write we would all learn to use a cli? Anyone could learn basic SQL and if we ever get the tools sorted out we could all consume API's. Very little effort and a huge reward. In stead some of us have to fight the html forms so that a baby can make very limited use of it. Lets have them type their name and their email and their address by hand? What horrific waste of time?

We already force people to go to school and in some countries you have to join the military but after that we are free to never exercise again and stuff our face with any kind of food we want the year round. If we are financially successful we will never have to use our brain. Can get drunk and stoned every day.... wonderful? You can smoke, drink coffee and watch tiktok indefinetly... at least until any kind of challenge presents it self. Then ur fucked. Not very funny in a personal context but as a society or a culture things should get rather bizarre as we pile up more and more convenience. We already have to import people to do the work.

It seems cheap universal healthcare isn't as hard as it seems. Putting out a small fire and cleaning up is cheaper than letting the entire city burn down before doing anything.
Looks like they are using nextcloud and just uploaded the file there instead of providing a direct download link. Probably just out of convenience.
That's just not really true. People tend to gain weight and stabilize. It's not like they suddenly get will power. Most everyone has a weight they will end up at if they eat to satiation. These drugs lower that weight.

Of course will power and environment changes can keep you at a lower weight but it's a constant struggle against your body.

I've been coding for 10+ years. If you're doing any serious coding day to day, you're likely doing these type of queries 10+ per day or more so over the day it saves a ton of time. You're not going to code this many functions bug free from your first try. If anything, you'll spend at least 30 secons on catching edge cases or off by one errors.

I'm not going to memorize random functions off the top of my head and I'm not going to waste brainspace on something I can use chatgpt really quickly and move on with others tasks more specific to my domain.

I'd rather focus and use energy on business logic + the part that are more specific to my domain than generic functions I can ask chatgpt and come back in a little bit.

Urban environments in general are population dense (which goes against wanting to add more people), and resource rich (so lots of other distractions, and ability to suppress fertility through birth control).

Elixir/Phoenix Security: Rate Limits for Authentication with Hammer
Expensive is very relative. I'm taking the ÖBB NightJet in April from Utrecht Centraal to Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof, taking a private cabin with two beds (my partner and me). It costs almost €400 for the two of us, one-way, but a sleeper train does a number of things that significantly benefit your journey:

* You arrive early in the morning, (somewhat) well-rested, and have the whole day ahead of you for further travel or activities — essentially this means you save on accommodation (hotels in Austria and Italy cost upward of €80 a night per room, €120 and up if you want something actually nice).

* Breakfast included (nothing fancy, but hey).

* Travel in a sleeper train doesn't fatigue you like the equivalent day time trip of almost 9 hours would.

* Day time travel by train costs at least €140, per person, in any case. The extra €50 or so is more than worth it.

* Flying is not only environmentally burdensome, it is also (for this trip) a lot more expensive, and airports in Europe suffered from a lot of problems last year with missing luggage and queues in excess of 4 hours — want to bet that this year these issues will all be solved?

And of course: cheaper is possible, even in the same train. Still young and on a budget? Grab a bunk bed in shared cabin or a sleeper chair. The latter is a non-starter for me with my 200cm, but then again I am gainfully employed and can afford to book a private cabin.

One additional benefit for couples in private sleeper cabins:

* Sex on a train. Can recommend.

I take Mounjaro. For obesity. I thought back in '05 when I first started learning about DPP-4 inhibitors it wouldn't be too long before we realized obesity/T2DM were aspects of the same whole, but it'd take decades before we got to an effective therapy.

This is pretty much it. Zero side effects (other than the side effects from losing weight too fast, still have to pay attention to diet). We'll see if there's long term pancreatic/other issues down the line; but comparing risk against obesity, I still feel like I come out ahead on risk.

I expect to be taking some low level of a GLP/GIP/next-twincretin/next-tricretin forever. If I didn't now; I figure I'd keep running and dieting and meditating to steel my willpower; continue slighty overeating and slowly gaining fat and insulin resistance. And then I'd still end up taking a GLP/GIP years down the line after I finally developed T2DM.

I'd gladly spend $12k/year for the extra healthspan, and it seems many, many people are prepared to do the same.

Yes, they should make the food taste bad. That will make everyone better.
Pandas 2.0 and the Arrow revolution (part I)
Not exactly the same, but reminds me of the saccharin rat studies. Massive dosing (the human equivalent of ~800 diet sodas per day!) plus a physiology that highly concentrates urine led to bladder cancer in rats. Turned out to be completely irrelevant to humans (and now ironically saccharin may be somewhat cancer fighting?).

For expedience many of these studies are done at the Maximum Tolerated Dose, which is the amount that does not otherwise outright kill the subjects. It’s understandable that this is useful for magnifying sensitivity but it also leaves them with a tinge of doubt. That compounds with the career benefit for publishing sensational results to generate some bad science (especially frustrating when there are tinfoilers looking to distrust science as it is).

Sure. And I think you can host your own HTML/CSS/JS on Wix too.

For reading at night, I got an "amber book light" @1800K that basically looks like a 5" clip that you stick on the book. You charge it with a USB connector on one end that's hidden under a cap, and it claims to emit no blue light (though I don't have a spectrometer to test this claim).

The warm light makes reading a true pleasure and doesn't light up the whole room, just the book, which is much appreciated by my partner, who usually falls asleep before me.

I find I get sleepy faster than before with this thing. Of course, that means I read a bit less.

Nowadays money is not a problem for full time cheat developers - they sell the cheats (often in a monthly subscription model) to the cheaters or they sell a service where the cheater joins you in the game and does all the cheating for you (so called carry services, e.g. in escape from tarkov a cheater joins your game, kills all your enemies and lets you take all the loot).

I have seen ads for cheats where a monthly cheat subscription costs more than a new copy of the game.
It's available as an Ubuntu snap. Not exactly what you are asking for...

It's intentionally different than UNIX shells. If you are expecting UNIX shell behavior you will not like it.

I have to use it at work for Windows stuff. It is amazing. But I would never install it on my home computer because I don't trust all the other Microsoft stuff that comes along with it.

There is one big complaint that I do have with it - working with massive (multiple gigabyte) files is a pain. It wants to load the entire file before doing anything; most likely because it wants to treat everything as an object - therefore it has to build the objects before it can work with them.
