> Meanwhile in just about every other area that uses fp computation it's been the defacto standard for decades. Not that strongly for more parallel things, quite similar to the sit…

Hey! I actually appreciate this kind of HN humor. As in, when you pretend to read the title badly.

The author gives a godbolt link. It takes 5 minutes to add two compilers on raptorlake and see that it gives the same result. https://godbolt.org/z/oof145zjb So no, Haswell is not …

Fil-C works because you recompile the whole C userspace. Unsafe Rust doesn't do that... and for many practical purposes you probably want to touch the non-safe-version of the C use…

HTTPS is there, so you go down to that level only if you want to distrust any element of the public key infrastructure. Which, to be fair, there are plenty of reasons if you are pa…

AM404 really is the metabolite that keeps giving. The central nervous system system effects were fun too, acting on cannabinoid receptors and/or TRPV1 channels -- so either stony o…

From my limited experience of metamizole it feels a bit stronger than paracetamol/acetaminophen. Neat little drug if your genetics can take it. Tangential: China technically banned…

It does sound similar. Throw in a few helping lines about understanding why you do the "thinking" and it might even become dialectical.

Not a professional, but still use it like that. They also have a new smartblast thing, which works much faster (really, really like Google!) but only on highly similar proteins.

on one hand i can see how it's going to break stuff (and I see they've changed it! []). on the other hand... mind talking a bit more about how it did break things? []: https://gith…

There's some work in looking at alternative ways of administering the BCG vaccine (iv injection, inhalation). The IV numbers are pretty promising -- if the monkey numbers hold. I h…

Really bad nitpick, but: I cringe at FOO'S-type plurals. Just break out of the uppercase and say VHDXs if you find VHDXS too confusing. https://www.hamilton.edu/academics/centers/w…

We do know that for the lucky ones on which SSRIs do work, it seems to reverse some of the brain structure changes associated with depression -- some abnormally small parts tend to…

resistance training is indeed the recommendation for non-head bones, if you’re looking for a confirmation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6279907/

Lenore’s approach uses rejection sampling, which translates to needing an uncertain amount of input — a uint128 may or may not be enough. But there is one related algorithm that do…

No known consequence, assuming... (1) changing the RSA decrypt function in OpenSSH is all the code hidden in crc64 does: that's the only known behavior, but we don't know what the …

I don’t know how to break it to you, but cell membranes are not blood vessels. Things go across… differently.

The delayed access "embargo" scheme is not that bad… if you are not chasing the latest stuff in the field. It works well enough for casual Wikipedia editing and junior researchers.…

Macfuse itself has been closed source for a long time. Whether their EULA is compatible with the LGPL though, I don’t know. (Also, the old question: are APIs copyrightable?)

India is the world’s bigger producer of turmeric and many other spices after all. Won’t be surprising that these batches originated in India and were made using adulterated rhizome…

A typical "not-so-poor" country with large scale nutrition problems would be China. A look into the micros shows that ALMOST EVERYONE is short on calcium, riboflavin, a couple of o…

On the cold, industrial side where people just do "close enough", Penicillium roqueforti is also used to make concentrated blue cheese flavor. Food scientists know that blue cheese…

The article doesn't specifically require mold; it only argues that mold is safe if the cheese is hard and salty. It's more about how cheese that's been forgotten in the fridge actu…
