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

>Transoceanic shipping has recently implemented its sulfur-free requirement

While probably a good thing for ecosystems, this has removed an unintended "geoengineering" effect. Sulphur dioxide forms a relatively effective reflector for incoming solar radiation.

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 nonlinear system. This system is the archetype of a chaotic system - predictions of values and corresponding locations becomes increasingly unreliable and then impossible on larger timescales. Climate modelling was the very thing that lead to our current understanding of sensitive dependence on initial conditions.

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 are between it and the sun.

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.

I suppose millions can die in slightly more comfort.

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.

Can this be called "Capitalism" when SpaceX is now a public company?

regexes > Claude. Even Anthropic knows this.

I got my agent to fill it out for me, but it won't tell me my score!

>how, exactly, AI can be integrated into daily life.

Aka "what is it good for?"

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 would happen if you got a noseful of that at close quarters?

This is just terrible advice.

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, and it's hard to know if you're making the right thing. FWIW every sensible electrolysis-based DIY project has dire warnings about electrolysing solutions of common salt.

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 original device is then found to have problems and has its approval removed, those derivative devices do not also become unapproved.

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

Some say he was let go after a design error lead to some dwarves kicking over the first stonehenge.

At least we don't have to worry about asymptomatic cases :-)

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 demand.

>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 are widely available, their entire intent is to make it significantly easier to access information held in a truly vast body of written work.

I have also seen no evidence that understanding the resulting generated code is necessary.

If your job has a large component of regurgitating existing information, you are now competing with a machine that can regurgitate hugely more information and with lower-skilled operators.

You'll be replaced by someone cheaper using AI.

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 at it.

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

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 any of the benefits of the language. You can't re-architect one step at a time.

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.
