cast iron pans contain two materials, the seasoning (oxidized and polymerized food oils, occasionally oxidized iron) and the pan itself (an iron-carbon-silicon alloy, potentially with impurities).

some minor outputs of food oil oxidation/polymerization are believed to be probable carcinogens. these compounds will be present in all food cooked on any surface. this varies more significantly based on your food choice and preparation method than your cookware selection. if you're eating, you're consuming oxidized and polymerized food oils.

the pan itself could potentially contribute iron to your food, or molecular variants like rust or magnetite (oxidized iron). this iron isn't harmful. you're more likely to be deficient than have too much iron. in fact, cooking with iron is occasionally advocated as a way to supplement iron nutrition, to treat iron-deficient anemia.

there are potential impurities in the iron alloy of the pan. most impurities are removed by the foundry process as 'slag'. when iron is heated to molten temperature, everything reactive will burn off or evaporate. other metals will float or precipitate. slag is removed before casting, but some may remain mixed - these will be oxides of foundry inputs used to regulate the melt such as calcium, magnesium, aluminum, and barium. these are controlled to low fractions, but even so are nontoxic or nutritious when ingested. if you're using metal cookware, there is some slag in your cookware.

i just now tried to find a study indicating some harmful property of cast iron but i couldn't find one.

just stop using plastic to cook. it's not hard, and it's not expensive. it's even easier than being miserable on the internet
> More scientifically, what is long covid? Is that how viruses work? I guess the idea is that the virus is hiding out somewhere in the body where the immune system and doctors can’t find it…?

This is a big open question. Viruses absolutely can hang around for decades with the immune system unable to remove it (see for example shingles). It could also be damage done during infection that the body just isn't fully able to repair. Or it could be phycological (we can't rule it out), or some other not yet understood mechanism.

> do people really cook in non-stick pans without any sort of oil?

Definitely!

As much as I generally love it, e.g. pancakes with olive oil sound like a dubious idea, taste-wise.

Regarding frying things in olive oil, I was also under the impression that it's not particularly heat-stable and unhealthy substances can start forming at relatively low temperatures?

> I find myself being unable to search for more complex subjects when I don't know the keywords, specialized terminology, or even the title of a work, yet I have a broad understanding of what I'd like to find.

For me this is typically a multi-step process. The results of a first search give me more ideas of terms to search for, and after some iteration I usually find the right terms. It’s a bit of an art to search for content that maybe isn’t your end goal, but will help you search for what you actually seek.

LLMs can be useful for that first step, but I always revert to Google for the final search.

Also, Google Verbatim search is essential.

Wouldn't it be "I reckon"? :-)
LLMs are a special type of transformer model, however several recent models have been multimodal, allowing for a variety of input and output type. So the question is if a neural network can approximate reality, not LLMs.

Though really, all embedded models of reality are approximate by nature, and based on stochastic empirical data. The real tradeoff with probability-based neural networks is whether a rigid algorithmic approach or a more flexible, but stochastic, approach solves the problem at hand.
Well the whole point of this product is to link back to websites. There’s no necessary link between the text and the links, which are chosen after the fact from an index. That’s different from traditional search engines, where links are directly retrieved from the index as part of ranking.
That's quite an exaggeration. Why do you think the therapies should incur such a risk? Of course, it's on you to make sensible choices, but there are very large communities around long COVID out there, and the crowd makes a good enough job of sorting out what's legitimate and safe and what's not.

Again, I'm assuming we are talking about people in a state of abandonment by the medical establishment, some unable to function at all. I can't understand the risk calculation here.

I think that’s true. I recently installed Windows 2000, also for nostalgia, and marveled at the icons. I like the Windows 3.11 (not so much the 3.0) icons even more.

check "partial ordering" concept. What is the minimum independent "thing"? Probably user?

example over user+invoices:
i.e. there are things that have to come in exact order (e.g. activity on certain invoice), and there are things that can move around (i.e. processing those, timewise), being independent from one another (different invoices' activities, wholesale). But when same user acts on different invoices, then whole one-user-activity should be in exact order.. not just invoice-activity
Exactly! Let's go back to the times when things were consistent! Remember when you couldn't tell AIM from ICQ from MSN Messenger from Skype because they looked and behaved consistently?

Just find an old Windows VM and put Winamp next to Sonique next to RealPlayer next to Windows Media Player next to QuickTime -- those sure were the days, until the damn "creatives" came with their stupid "web tech."
tl;dr the crawlers do not respect robots.txt or the user agent anymore, but you can drop big bucks on the enterprise HA offering to stop them through other means.
Remember Woody and Buzz in Toy Story?

In Andy’s hands, they were just toys. Simple, static, and entertaining. But when left on their own, they became something far richer—characters with personality, depth, and agency.

For decades, the internet has been like Woody and Buzz when Andy’s in the room: a vast, passive tool waiting for us to command it. Search engines made it accessible, and social media made it social, but it’s always been static—a digital library.

Now, AI is changing the very nature of the internet itself. We’re on the verge of an internet that doesn’t just hold information but adapts and learns alongside us. An internet that moves from passive to dynamic, from reactive to proactive—engaging with us, evolving in real time.

Like Woody and Buzz, the internet itself is beginning to come alive

I think road trips are a critical consideration for a subset of consumers- especially those in the market for a non-work truck.

Road trips make up a tiny fraction of the miles/hours on my truck, but they are the primary reason why I have a truck at all instead of a Prius or something.
You're right in principle, but I think in practice this is sort of a non issue. Most sites now employ (for better or worse) anti botting tools which have some sort of javascript challenge that will generate a unique token. Given that this tool is only capable of replacing the dynamic parts of the request graph with tokens found in the output from the previous steps, I don't see how it would get around these sorts of challenges. So effectively, if you're using methods to prevent "unauthorized" use of your APIs, I think this sort of tool will be defeated extremely easily. The reverse engineering/web scraping world has unfortunately evolved to be extremely adversarial, and this sort of tool is does not have the sneakiness required to get around even the simplest anti botting measures.

Until LLMs become smart enough to emulate a full JS stack, I think we're safe :)

> one way is to ask for a "final answer" so the final response token logprobs can be evaluated

Alas, this won't work.

Imagine I ask an LLM to continue the sentence "Summing those up: 4+6.75+6.52=17.27 litres of pure alcohol. In summary, the total amount of pure alcohol they have is: "

The logprobs of the next token do not represent the LLM's confidence in its own answer. They represent the LLM's confidence in its ability to repeat the total from 18 words previously.

While I do think native controls are the better choice, I disagree that companies even though it's harder. They do it mostly because it's easier: write once in JS, push to web, mobile and electron on desktop and be done with it.
There should(or will probably be) be a study on how long do people take on google etc vs search powered by chatgpt to get non-trivial work done, controlling for obvious factors like age, gender, country and industry

If there is a bias towards chatgpt like tools of even ~5%, it would be worth investigating why this is. My hunch is just the conversational aspect of describing at a high level and finding answers and avoiding all the distraction of several dozen windows to do something is worth it.

Idk why you keep saying way out there stuff, then repeating back mundane stuff.

Yeah, the difference between a bad thing and a good thing is what judges say.

No, there is a difference bigger than "nominal", which means in name only. Go out on the street and try explaining why someone having child porn, and cops handed a subscriber name + child porn image by Google exactly the same thing, there's only a "nominal" difference.
This is always a tough conversation. Yes, people will be wrong to dismiss patients. The danger is that you can also be wrong to accept patients.

It sucks, as you never know where in the distribution you are. If there is indeed a social contagion vector, are you in that social contagion, or do you have a specific thing? How would you know?

Chronic Lyme's disease is an odd example to bring up. It is fairly accepted that a large portion of the people that have it never had Lyme's disease? Do you dispute that take? (Legitimate question.)

If there are specific tests that are being denied on this, I'm game for doing more tests. I don't know why some people (doctors and otherwise) are opposed to some things. That said, I'm also not sure I agree that we should open the floodgates to questionable treatments. (And I have to acknowledge that testing isn't automatically an answer. Base rates and recall are real things.)

To put yourself in the doctor's shoes, how many times have they had people push for them possibly having some obscure thing that they turn out to not have. And you are close to dismissing the doctor without knowing any more about why they have their opinion.

It's nice if it looks perfect but if I can get 3/4 the way with 1/20 of the code and 1/50 the effort I'll go with the less bloated version. It does depend a lot how often it is used and how annoying the missing functionality, how strange the order of steps or how sub optimal lay-outs are.
> when I asked "what are the latest versions of common programming languages and when were they released?"

The issue is with the query itself. You're assuming that there's some oracle that will understand your question and surface the relevant information for you. Most likely, it will use the word themselves as part of the query, which SEO sites will exploit.

A more pragmatic search workflow would be to just search for "most common programming languages used" [0], then used the Wikipedia page to get the relevant information [1]. Much more legwork, but with sources. And still quite fast.

I played plenty of unranked LoL back in the day, it was generally a better over all experience.

Mostly because ranked games were full of tryhards that raged constantly and in general didn't actually treat the game like a game.

___

In fact now that I think about it... some of my funnest LoL games back in the day was when I got paired with someone way out of my league in unranked and they would spend a lot of the game mentoring teammates.

And when the opposite happened, we would get stomped quickly and would be able to into a new match quickly. No one felt the need to drag out a unfun/mismatched game because their ranking would get hurt. Wasn't really an issue.

on 2) are you referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_plague_of_1518 ? I don't know very much of the history, but the veracity of the claims is specifically called out in the wikipedia page. Given the year, I'd wager that the truth is that they died of something else...

And that's a very strange reason to be skeptical of womens' description of their symptoms in a medical setting. Is there evidence that women are more prone to 'social contagion'? You yourself said that "women are more prone to auto immune diseases" and that they are known to be triggered by viruses...To me, skepticism (and in my view, cynicism) of patients is one of the major contributors to distrust of evidence based medical advice.

Taking your last anecdote as an example, just because the patient's self diagnosis is likely incorrect, that does not mean that the symptoms they're experiencing are all "made up" and should be met with skepticism. There may be other reasons they're experiencing symptoms. A doctor shouldn't just say "Because you thought it was long COVID even though you weren't diagnosed with COVID, I'm convinced you're making the whole thing up". That's just lazy and unsound.
