>> The concentrations of the tire additives in leafy vegetables are low overall and are, for example, 238 ng/kg for benzothiazole (BTZ), or 0.4 ng/kg for 6PPD, a substance whose transformation product 6PPD quinone is known to be highly toxic for aquatic species like coho salmon. Depending on the diet, this leads to a daily intake per person of 12 to 1,296 ng for BTZ, or 0.06 to 2.6 ng for 6PPD. This is comparable in magnitude to drug residues, which also enter the food chain. According to Thilo Hofmann, the study shows clear results: "While the concentrations and daily intake are fortunately relatively low, additives from car tires are still found in food. That's not where they belong." According to Hofmann, the next steps should now be to investigate the environmental and human health aspects.

With regards to the finding, IMHO we're missing an opportunity to price persistence into chemical production/use.

There should be direct costs to a company choosing to use indefinitely-persistent chemical in their products, as opposed to something with shorter environmental degradation.

Maybe there are use cases where that's worth paying! E.g. tires. But we should financially incentivize the global outcomes we want.
I think it’d be counterproductive to stop the nausea, when nausea is an integral part of the Ayahuasca process of letting go, in addition to crying, yawning, sweating, etc. I just listen to my body and let it do its thing; sometimes I need to purge, sometimes I don’t need to purge.
Even “organic” soil that you might use to fill containers is full of crap. I’ve filled beds with this from several brands and all of them had a significant amount of pieces that were clearly previously painted wood, chunks of metal, etc. Probably still better than what’s in the ground. I recall seeing beautiful black, organic rich, loose soil when planting things 25/30 years ago. I haven’t found anything remotely resembling that here in CA in the last few years.
The easiest way to increase the supply of physicians would be to increase Medicare funding for residency programs. We already have a surplus of smart and good people who would love to become doctors. Every year some of them graduate from medical school with an MD/DO degree but are unable to practice medicine because they don't get matched to a residency slot (some of them do get matched the following year).

https://savegme.org/

There has already been deregulation to an extent. The scope of practice for lower licenses such as Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants has been increased in many states such that they are now allowed to perform most primary care services. This is a great option for other smart and good people who don't want to spend 3 - 7+ years in residency and take on enormous student loans.

Do you really believe that fundamental research would get more investment if it were left solely to market forces?
Is it in bicycle tires too? Sneaker soles?
Lethal doses of Xylitol for dogs is 0.5g per kg of pet weight, while for chocolate it 5g per kg for pure baking chocolate all the way to not being lethal at all for white chocolate. We're talking a magnitude of difference is lethal even for the most potent form of chocolate, and for dark chocolate it's 15g/kg versus 0.5g/kg for xylitol.

To give an example, a typical hershey's milk chocolate bar is nearly impossible to kill your dog with, even if it's a small dog.
Where do you locate/how do you select papers?

Which is the purpose of these doc comments.

If you have the time to gripe on HN, you have the time to click on the link and do some reading. The "Usage" section in the link above is enough to help one disambiguate; if not, then there's always the doc comment.

See: disenfranchised. Voting rates are highly disproportionate between the two due to countless factors associated with poverty.
That's not too smart then. I'm talking about something with a bag of weighted goals. Having a dead battery would have a strong enough cost that it would pay more for higher market rates if state of charge is low.
It's not a different issue at all; it's the same issue.

Kill 230 and Big Tech (or any tech) has to choose one or the other, that being the distinction before the Internet.
If this turns out to be a big deal we can make compostable tires or some other alternative.
Do you have a better idea?
I’ve found that the built in OCR in the iPhone is just way better and more accurate than everything else out there. I’m talking about how if you have an image in your camera roll on the iPhone, you can select the text and copy it out. I had the idea to simply expose that service better so it could be applied to PDFs and made my first ever iPhone app that does this. It can easily handle hundreds of pages too. Only problem is that it’s an iPhone app so it can’t easily be included in a programmatic fashion, but if you’re only trying to convert a reasonable number of documents it’s worth a try— the accuracy is really good:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/super-pdf-ocr/id6479674248
How do you select what papers to read? How often does that research become relevant to your job?
That's not the URL of a static image, that's the URL of a web page that happens to have a static image as the only content of worth in it and puts the description of said image in the URL.

Calling it the URL of an image seems to me like quite a bit of confusion about how web pages work.
The problem with tires is the weight of cars grinding tires into the ground. Unless you weight 2 tons, I don't think you need to worry about sneaker particles.
No need to get so upset ? It is like if I say that reading a book will help you learn faster about a domain than if you have to discover all by yourself.

Yes self-learning is better, but it takes a much longer period of time, whereas if you have a tutor, then it saves lot of time (and companies don't often have such resources, which is where AI and books fill the gap).

I strongly believe that LLMs are a serious helping tool for programming that helps programmers to onboard their project faster.

Regarding more exotic techs, as a cousin of ChatGPT, Google Gemini used to be very very bad, but with Gemini 1.5-Pro you can feed it very long documents, and this is super helpful for specific implementation (e.g. the exotic processors), and it's, really, really not bad at programming, or at least pushing you in the right direction.

Of course it's not autonomous (and whether it can be in the short-term on complex projects is unlikely), but it reduces the onboarding time, and this was the point raised in the conversation.

A dev paired with a LLM is much much more productive.

I suppose that you are concerned that it may push people to lose their jobs in the long-term. I am as well, but we still have some time ahead.

I don't like this situation either, but I have to recognize that it is a very helpful co-programming tool.
The idea that there's an indistinct difference between "publisher" and "common carrier" doesn't seem right. Google or Facebook are not, and have never been, common carriers. The entities that most resemble "common carriers", as that term is historically used, are infrastructure-layer companies. I don't see how the distinction could be sharper.

So much of the youth use nothing but mobile OSs and Microsoft lost that - they’re not even a player! Macs have been selling more each year. Valve/Proton is bringing gaming to Linux. Microsoft is losing the non-corp consumers. The features are aimed at non-corp consumers.

To be clear when I said 0.11/kWh in Chicago I was giving the total price, including both the supply and delivery.

It stops the nausea, but you still can purge (can't tell why). But it feels that you are just cleaning your body. And without nausea you can listen, IMHO, to your body, more carefully
Yes, this bothered me too. It's impressive how much energy is required to just melt water much less bring it to temperature. It's 330 kJ/kg, which is 1250 kJ/gallon: 350 Wh. So it costs more energy to defrost one gallon of water than it does to do the rest of the 110F temperature change.

The physics term for this is the "latent heat of fusion," or the energy required to change states from liquid to solid, or vice versa.

A few years ago I saw someone calculate the energy required to melt the ice in front of a locomotive (I think) at speed; IIRC it required a (not small!) nuclear reactor's worth of energy. Not practical!

Awful summary video, in my opinion. Takes 5 minutes to get to the new discovery, then spends 3 minutes repeatedly claiming that we don’t have any explanations for the wide range of genome sizes, then 2 mins of Patreon credits to get over the 10 minute mark. There might be 30 seconds of actual content in this video.

I’d give a highschooler a bad grad on this, why do so many people give this guy money to make low quality content like this?

Parent comment is mis-informed. NOAA doesn't have to buy any data from other government agencies or organizations. It's all open and publicly available. There are challenges around the reliability and quality of data that NOAA doesn't take efforts itself to curate and maintain which limit their utility, but that's a separate issue.

More importantly, NOAA explicitly funds the National Mesonet Program [1] to actively identify, acquire, consume, and ingest data from a wide variety of state and federal agencies across the country. The NMP itself partners with a major private sector company, Synoptic Data PBC [2] to perform the engineering necessary to acquire all this data. Synoptic actively maintains the infrastructure which consumes and publishes this data to MADIS for use by NOAA and any other stakeholder.

> Yeah, a few times. Got burned very early on installing Slackware from about 10 billion stiffie disks

Please do not use Slackware. With respect to Slackware, almost no one uses it because it is very old school. If I remember correctly you have to use a 3rd party tool to even download updates or packages. It took years for the maintainer to actually have a release. Please use a modern developer distro that has a regular release cycle and modern tools. Fedora or Ubuntu. If you need to use Nvidia, go with Ubuntu.

Also when did you use it? Linux distros haven't used floppy disks in so long.

> I'm an OpenCL guy, not even using CUDA, and have had a decent enough experience with AMD's drivers

That is not my field, but Fedora added the ROCm packages in 40. You can install those and give it a try.

> I still think MSVC, again with all its flaws, is the best C++ IDE (I've similarly tried them all, repeatedly over decades).

I still remember during my time in college (where they required us to use Visual C++) a friend and I were playing with the latest C++ features. We had this very difficult runtime bug. I later found notes in the news that Microsoft's implementation of C++ at the time was incomplete. Tried it in GCC-worked out of the box.
is it a memory leak?
Le Point has been criticized for anti-muslin tendencies by anti-racist associations [1] among other criticism about dishonest behavior. Its director of publication have been found guilty of libel against Chinese people, yet he is still employed by Le Point as of today.

Just because other journals are worse doesn't makes Le Point a respectable journal.

This is a typical case of shifting the baseline or "normalization of deviance" [2].

I looked into pg_analytics and some other solution like Citus before working on pg_analytica.

The key difference is solutions like pg_analytics completely swap out the native postgres row based storage for columnar storage.

Not using the default postgres storage engine means you miss outon a lot of battle tested, functionality like updating existing rows, deleting rows, transactional updates etc.
Columnar stores are not suited for transactions, updates and deletes.

pg_analytica retains the existing Postgres storage and only exports a time delayed version of the table in columnar format.
This way developers get the benefit of a transactional storage and fast analytics queries.
Out of curiosity, did you ever figure out the disconnect that caused:

> Excellent interview

> couldn't even handle explorer.exe.

I had to deal with a similar situation. The size and scale of my employer at the time meant the employee stuck around for multiple years. They never got worse but sure never got better.

In our case, the problem was that our interview questions were based on algorithmic knowledge with some OS fundamentals. This person happened to be really good at those types of problems. But ask them to change a few lines of Python or Javascript and they just could not figure it out.

So the underlying flaw was assuming that anyone who could figure out algorithmic optimization in C++ (psuedo-code, we weren't looking for perfect syntax) under interview pressure would also figure out higher level languages, test frameworks, CI systems, etc, in an efficient fashion.

My simple solution was to push for a more diverse set of interview questions and interviewers. Actually, a "take home" style problem might have fleshed out these weaknesses but that was too radical, relative to the company culture, to even propose.
I had some luck with ChatGPT. The model numbers are out of date but the general descriptions and capabilities of each brand aren't. And in general ChatGPT is good with prompts like "I want to do X, tell me all the things I should consider" - it has been trained on Q&A sites after all.
The samples of leafy vegetables were from Israel, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. I have a bad feeling the numbers are much worse in urban and suburban United States, where car culture utterly dominates in close proximity to many farms and home gardens.
When I rotate my hand toward my body the middle fingers come together, when it rotate it away they fan out. I can feel this happening in the tension of my muscles and ligaments during rotation. In contrast, pulling my two middle fingers together on purpose with my hand held out, without also pulling together all my fingers, feels weird. I simply think this is a mechanically likely think to happen due to the design of the forearm, though it may not be the case for everyone depending on tension and strength and anatomy.

> Aviation contains a number of scenarios where pilots can (and do, not all that infrequently) slip from being in a safe situation to being in immediate danger without noticing the transition.

I am aware of this (and as I already said this is why piloting requires greater focus), but I don't see how that changes the fact that there actually is a transition that takes a heck of a lot longer than going from a completely safe (given all available information and proper operation) to a completely unsafe situation takes on the road.
Not possible for somebody who knows what they are doing. I've aced technical interviews with zero prep where the leetcode I was writing was the first code I'd written in six months.

The bar is really, really low. You will have to step over it however.
The thing about climate change skepticism is that whether or not they are right we should all be opposed to swimming in our own poop so to speak. Instead of going the route of taking care of the environment we are turning the world into a toxic shithole.
> try to get by on a two-minute shower once a day

This is pretty typical aboard ship for smaller vessels on long voyages. Not so hard as it sounds: get wet, turn off; lather up, rinse off, turn off. You can do with 20-30 seconds of water and be quite clean, with some practice.

It's not satisfying though. And I can't imagine how those numbers scale if you have long hair, or use conditioner.
Agreed! Like I said, I find it plausible that they participated. I just think that the crusader angle is a 1935 version of clickbait.
How do you go about determining the aptitude of a particular LLM with a particular stack? What does your evaluation look like?
No one thing is going to "fix our environmental problems." Only by doing a lot of "things" can we hope to "fix" our problems.
Alas, there are yet ongoing attempts to break-up and/or privatize the NWS. Project 2025 specifically calls for the break-up of NOAA.
Another rule could be that the system should sometimes set a random value and then when the pilot doesn't catch it there should be an automatic report about it (and the plane should refuse to start).
I love and appreciate the Wayback Machine, but using it is such a bittersweet experience. So many of the crawls are incomplete. I’ve managed to find pages that hosted content of interest to me, only to find that particular resource unavailable. And if it’s not on the Wayback Machine, it’s just gone forever. Feels like tracking an old friend down to their tombstone.
Many plants have huge genomes. Maybe they didn't evolve macros or subroutines or something. Anyone know anything about this?
Yup! The general rule for sheet mulching is: no glossy print.
I started out writing machine code. With each "improvement" we lost flexibility and I didn't need any of it but they are all useful experiments and lots of things objectively improved. Imho software is for fooling around. We need it because we don't exactly know what we need or how to make it. When the needs are exactly defined we can bake thing into hardware. At that point all flexibility is gone.
Wouldn’t these black holes radiate some Hawking radiation, making them potentially detectable? And how long would they exist for? Also what keeps these black holes from interacting with normal matter and clumping in the center of galaxies?
>has to choose one or the other,

There is no choice. Common carrier thing you suggest does not appear if Section 230 is removed. Big Tech would become publisher. They would permaban everything even slightly unconformable and be fine.

Small forums would disappear. You can't run small forum if you can be sued.
> What do you mean about NVIDIA? I find their drivers have become pretty good. Especially so if you're using them with containers.

Have they? What GPU? Are you using the new open source kernel driver? Wayland or X?
It’ll fix some of them. It’s a wide known fact that exhaust gases reduce number of olives produced by an olive tree.

For others, we will create new solutions.
An under-appreciated advantage of single-devs is ease of refactoring.

In the time it takes a big team to schedule a pre-meeting for discussing changing a schema, solo-devs can whip through many huge cross-cutting refactors across their entire architecture without anyone complaining about broken merges.

Building a real, successful thing generally involves more time and more learning about the customer space than you expect at the outset. As a single dev, you have a massive advantage over big teams in your ability to make huge fast change in the architecture of your product.

Here's the controversial part of this: if you want to maximize your ability to make big changes, you want a strongly-typed codebase (for me that's TypeScript on the front-end and C# on the backend because of the quality of the refactoring tooling for it). There's no formal guarantee that strong typing will keep your code working across big refactorings, but in practice it just works. You focus on getting the inner loops right and the compiler and IDE takes care of the rest.

Yes, you can probably write the first iteration faster in a dynamically typed language, but when you start making those big changes that are your unfair competitive advantage against larger teams, the strong typing combined with modern IDE tooling capabilities means a working system remains a working system even as you treat it like completely malleable clay.

I'm also a fan of modular monoliths, again for ease of major refactoring (if you're not familiar with it, check out for example TurboRepo in the node.js space). You can organize an enormous amount of code well using this technique, including having things partitioned to hand off to other devs or multiple teams if you happen to eventually want to scale up from single dev to multi-dev.
Yeah, not sure what growing evidence was needed. The black stuff I can wipe off my windows every other week or so living next to an arterial city road was quite enough evidence.
