How many pages would be required to store all the information that a shopkeeper knows about one of their regulars?

1. The further back we go, the less reliable the methods of estimating such properties. We only have values for a "global temperature" from the past few years or so. 2. Weather and climate are names for the same underlying nonline

It might make more sense if you consider that the three objects are not usually aligned, due to the tilt of the moon's orbit around the earth. In the case of the full moon, this allows us to see the fully illuminated moon even when we

This is literally backwards - plants absorb CO2, not methane! The obsession with CO2, specifically emitted by fossil fuel use, for me indicates geopolitical motivations (for both standpoints).

Sorry, this is just not correct, even when you ignore the other greenhouse gases and focus on CO2. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/global-warming-by-gas-and...

This reality is wild. It would be like arms manufacturers holding weekly demonstrations of how much collateral damage their latest designs cause in an attempt to increase sales.

You're saying that as long as it proceeds as expected, then all will be ok. In the worst case (eg, at the 2,000ppm you indicate as an upper range, or after some mis-step in the process), what ppm chlorine gas would be created, and what

To draw a parallel - airport Ubers are still $5, but you can't buy a 2nd hand prius any more!

Please don't tell me you're recommending that people smell their DIY chlorine chemistry to determine what they've made?

"AI Overview" blithely tells me HOCL can be easily made from the electrolysis of salt water. Looking even a little deeper (Wikipedia) confirms that chlorine chemistry, especially when combined with electrolysis, is very complex, a

For reference, OP is talking about the 510(k) process. One of the issues with that process is that an approved medical device may end up with a whole tree of "derivative" devices approved through the 510(k) process. If that origin

We are ever-faster approaching the Anti Singularity, the moment when everything "tech" implodes and progress screeches to a halt.

Right. If you were previously digging with your bare hands, and one day everyone starts turning up with these new-fangled shovels, you'll find that both your hand-digging skills are not needed, and that hole production may exceed deman

>you’ll be replaced by someone who is better at using AI I place very little value in the idea of "getting better at using AI". It's like getting better at using a library, or getting better at using Google. Now that LLMs

If you use AI to do your work, you can be replaced by someone else using AI to do your work.

To be very frank, nothing in the blog post is ground-breaking or interesting enough to be on HN. The only thing it has is its (probably knowingly) controversial title, and as such, I have no problem directing technical and nit-picking ire a

I doubt the Zig maintainers will miss the giant PRs from Bun!

by nDRDY 4mo ago
I suspect one part of the puzzle is that Bun used its own fork of Zig, that had diverged signficantly in design and direction from mainline Zig.

That's my point - I don't see any hope of removing the 10,000+ unsafe calls, especially not one step at a time. As such, this is a publicity stunt.

tsgo will inherit many benefits from go, even if it is never fully "idiomatic". This is in direct contrast to this port, which requires significant re-architecting (or made "idiomatic", if you wish) in rust to achieve

Giant slop-filled PR (that will power future slop-generation) has caused slop-coded Github to stop loading properly. The Anti-Singularity is approaching ever quicker!

Right, so what we have here is a very expensive regex.
