The main tasks in converting iron ore to steel is as follows: reduce the iron (which requires a redox reaction), drive out existing impurities (both other metals present in the ore, such as magnesium or aluminum, and other nonmetals like sulfur or phosphorous), and introduce new ones (predominantly, uh, carbon). Note that these don't necessarily all occur at the same time, in the same furnace (steelmaking is a multistep process). These processes require the necessary chemical reagents to cause the necessary chemical reactions to occur.

There are multiple roles for heat. Most notably, most of the necessary chemical reactions require high heat to occur at a time. Furthermore, outright melting gives the advantage that impurities tend to sort themselves by density, and your impurities are typically less dense than your main metal (i.e., the slag will float on top of the molten iron). There's also the advantage that high heat can make volatile impurities (e.g., sulfur dioxide) boil out.

Historically, the reducing agent was largely charcoal, where you burn the wood in oxygen-poor environment to produce high purity carbon-rich material. The industrial revolution replaced charcoal with coke, where you burn coal in oxygen-poor environment to produce high purity carbon-rich material. In both cases, the furnace converts the fuel largely into carbon monoxide, which is the main actual reducing agent in contact with the iron (whereupon it forms carbon dioxide). The decarbonization assumption has been to replace carbon with hydrogen gas, but as far as I'm aware, hydrogen-based reduction furnaces have only existed in pilot plant form.

It's both. The problem is that the cost to just be passing by in the air has come way down, and that creates a new question of privacy that wasn't practical to worry about before.

(If it weren't being addressed by the cops specifically right now vis-a-vis warrentless searching, it'd have to be addressed by society eventually as we get into questions like "Who's eyes are on the camera feeds from all those Amazon delivery drones?").
I try to avoid devices with built in batteries. Could a version be created that uses a replaceable 18350, 18650 or even AA? I'm OK swapping every few months etc, but when its time to dispose of it, I don't want to fret about how to remove the battery for recycling.
What's the benefit of this over netcat + mkfifo?
Why would you want to play a cart, though?
It only lowers muscle mass and bone density because your body only secretes the bare minimum amount of insulin needed to maintain while on it. Put another way, you want insulin sensitivity when you cut, but you want insulin resistance when you bulk. If you know what you're doing it can greatly increase your strength and lean body mass. I took compounded semaglutide for one week, cut about 15 lbs, then bulked 45+ lbs over the next few months.
I was explaining to a coworker that my Contigo brand coffee travel mug was a great mug except that it was just impossible to clean properly. I explained to him that as a result, I had forcefully removed the guts to my mug lid.

In the midst of explaining this, I showed him which mug it was on the manufacturers website (we were remote- this was all via Slack) and as I did so, I saw the animation that explains how to disassemble it for cleaning.

So weird that the state of our discourse, even four years post-pandemic, is still stuck on "do masks reduce disease transmission", something that (1) has been paradigmatically settled science* since the dawn of the germ theory of disease, (2) has never been seriously challenged and (3) remains true every time (as here) it's been re-studied. Yet...

* Not quite the same thing as "true". Very rarely paradigms are wrong. But they aren't here, and... I mean duh.

We're still to identify any meaningful effects of microplastics other than them being everywhere and looking foreboding.

That on top of what others said - it's hard to predict effects and their scale before actually doing the thing that causes them. Also, it's only in the last 100 years that we learned that large-scale effects and environmental damage of various chemicals are a thing in the first place; it was hard for people to even conceptualize or imagine such things.

Anyone have a link to the actual paper?

Compare this with: https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD...

which states "The pooled results of RCTs did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks."

Anyone have a good insight on which has a more accurate methodology?

FWIW, I've been of the opinion that masks help (obviously they do something), so I'm inclined to doubt the link I gave above.
Cybertruck: The Embarrassing Beginning of Teslas Demise
Let me clarify. The heavy lifting wouldn't be done by the iPhone itself, but by connected devices, similar to how you print a document using a Bluetooth printer connected to your iPhone.

Imagine having all the necessary medical equipment at home, compatible with your iPhone. Instead of a doctor taking your temperature, weight, and asking general health questions, these devices would perform those tasks. Each device would analyze the data and send the results to your iPhone, just like a digital thermometer transmits data to a computer in a doctor's office.

You might be thinking of the iPhone as a standalone doctor, but that's not the concept. Instead, the iDoctor app would delegate tasks to different devices, each acting like a mini-server.

Similar to how Amazon Alexa works with smart light bulbs, these devices would connect to your iPhone's iDoctor app for diagnosis. The app could then analyze the data and suggest if a specialist visit is necessary, potentially saving you a trip to the doctor's office.

In essence, the iDoctor app would leverage connected devices for diagnosis, with the iPhone acting as a central hub for data collection and analysis.

Straw man. Nobody claimed these studies prove GLP-1 agonists are totally safe. Just that they don't show "severe unknown incidents like thyroid and pancreatic cancer" [1].

> suggesting that the authors didn't even find their own work to be conclusive about the short/medium-term risks at the scale of widespread use, let alone the long-term risks that they weren't even analyzing

Sure. That's a straightforward reading of the paper. Again, nobody argued these aren't thesre. Just that present data don't sustain it as a serious problem.

Honest question: Why do we need it to block _viruses_. Surely the virus isn't flying around with wings. Doesn't it travel on water droplets? Doesn't the mask do most of its good work by keeping water droplets in (or out)?

She came in, the doctor asked if she had drunk alcohol, she says no, what more is there to understand? This doctor didn’t listen. If he had, even if he didn’t know about this specific disease, he could have started tests and brought in other doctors. Instead, suffering. Not hard to understand. Doctors don’t listen.
> Cloth masks also outperformed both KN95 and surgical masks. Milton theorizes that cloth variants were the second-most effective masks tested because of greater coverage that wraps around the face and gives a better seal than either KN95 or surgical masks. Flow resistance is also lower, allowing breath to pass through rather than around the filter.

I'm always baffled by the people who went around arguing masks did nothing. They don't seem to have any problem accepting that a sneeze guard at a salad bar does something, or that a surgeon should put something on their face to prevent them from coughing into your open body cavity.

We can argue all day about specific masks under specific settings, or when it is worth it to bother, but "putting something in front of your face prevents you from breathing out particles" is in the category of "things that are pretty f&%*ing obvious".

>However, no major safety concerns have arisen to date, although definitive conclusions for pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer and DRP complications cannot be drawn at this point. When compared with the beneficial effects of these drugs on glucose metabolism, blood pressure, body weight and cardiovascular (and potentially even renal) endpoints, these agents have an overall beneficial risk/benefit-profile for treatment of patients with T2D.

This is literally a straw man argument.
> the issue with masks was always

No it wasn't. It was "I don't want to wear one"[1]. And the frame of the argument was fit to the desire. It was true then and remains true now that the single best protection for You Personally (absent isolation) is to put on and wear a mask. That remains true whether or not the "fit" is ideal or on the state of "longterm wear habits" of the rest of society.

[1] Though eventually the politically reframed corrolary of "You can't make me wear one" got more play.

ARM needs more than just proper UEFI support: Microsoft needs to lift the secureboot restrictions on ARM.

x86: Microsoft requires that end-users are allowed to disable secure boot and control which keys are used.

arm: Microsoft requires that end-users are not allowed to disable secure boot

This isn't a hardware issue, but simply a policy issue that Microsoft could solve with a stroke of a pen, but since Microsoft is such a behemoth in the laptop space, their policies control the non-apple market.

More surprising is that cloth masks were better than KN95s! That's pretty cool. Sample size was quite small though (only 8 cloth mask participants) and the study in general had a pretty small sample size (surely it couldn't have been difficult to find covid-positive individuals?).

==Even if a vacant unit doesn't cost you anything, you're still leaving money on the table by not renting it out.==

From an economics standpoint, if you rent out 10+ units, having them 100% rented would also indicate that you are leaving money on the table.

Maybe there could be a fine/tax for units vacant over 6 consecutive months?

Notably, humans also underperform Transformers on recall tasks. And yet we do ok on many others, even with our imperfect recall. So I hope we can identify a set of high value tasks on which these new architectures outperform Transformers and start benchmarking them on Transformers, too. Recall isn’t really “all you need” in this space, although it certainly impresses and helps to plug the capability gaps.

Space is very slow to change, and traditional harnessing is going anywhere for the time being.

I cannot speak to the newer systems on the market like Starlink, their economies of scale are closer to car manufacture, so for harnessing, they likely do it similar to that industry. Form boards and very repeatable methods for producing a harness that has been well designed into the chassis of the spacecraft to be installed at a specific point. But much of those techniques are relatively unchanged from what I do, just the timing and overall design is more optimised.

Most of the harnessing I have done is very bespoke, and happens at many stages throughout the integration as things are installing, finalised, and what-not.
Also something that medical practitioners have been doing on a daily basis for 100+ years.
