    There is _some_ prior art here, though it’s not direct. This is very similar in concept to the joke Python extensions that replaced the global exception handler with one that invok…

    Do you find the permanence of a full VM useful? I’ve wondered about something like this but always defaulted to Docker for much the same reasons people use stuff like Ansible. I’m …

    Am not a lawyer, but I follow these kinds of things. Many states have a catch all law like this, probably all of them to some degree. If you google for your state, the charge is us…

    I think the person above you is referring to CP, which I think is a very different harm than you’re talking about. For what you’re talking about, I’ve heard a couple of explanation…

    I’m doubtful, I think you’re reading it too much as plain English. “Lawful” in a legal context means “in accordance with the law”. You are immune to this law if you are operating u…

    I don’t think any of those are nearly at the scale of Meta, at least in terms of how many people they touch. Meta allegedly has 3.6B daily active users across their products; somet…

    I believe the BLS tracks all of these. I know they measure people who gave up on finding a job (they call them “discouraged workers” in stats normally). I’m pretty sure I’ve seen u…

    Are you editing outside Zed? That’s the only time I see this issue. Eg Pi has its own tools for editing files and ignores the ones Zed sends over ACP. If I used Zeds AI pane to hav…

    I don’t think containers, as normally used, provide that much security because so much of what you want to secure is at the boundaries between containers (the network) rather than …

    Sure, but this is about IP law instead of physical goods. This is like if you left your door wide open, and a neighbor peaked in and told another neighbor about your decor or what …

    You can’t fail unit tests you don’t have because your agent “fixed” them by deleting them. You have to go full galaxy brain for it to work lol

    They’re not bad if you give up on being able to reproduce arcane bugs. Don’t pin versions, pull everything from latest, CVEs are just a rebuild. Certainly not an amazing idea, but …

    > "I want a sketchy NP to just sign off on whatever drugs I want from the menu" That’s my impression but they absolutely cannot say that. Admitting that would almost certainly invo…

    That doesn’t match my experience if your bar is really as low as “won’t throw you out for not buying anything”. Obvious anecdata, but within an easy walk or bike radius of me (a co…

    Depends heavily on whether we're measuring in practical terms, or in "no medical intervention" terms. If we're measuring in a vacuum without medicine, then absolutely, the measles …

    Tuberculosis is different, in a very dark, utilitarian way. 4% of new TB cases are multi-drug resistant (19% of recurrences). Once it’s multi-drug resistant, if you’re poor then yo…

    My phrasing of it is that democracy is underpinned by a shared belief in a collective destiny. If we all vote well, we all do well together and if we vote poorly then we all do poo…

    Not really, because converting resources into power required other humans. A huge pile of gold isn’t inherently powerful, you need someone willing to accept gold to do what you wan…

    It’s basically the same thing as AI generated art, whichever side of that you fall on. I do IT, I can’t make any kind of art to save my own life. The art the AI generates is neat t…

    I think bacteria will convert it to ammonia nitrate, but I could be wrong. I do some hydro and the guidance is not to do it with hydro because the bacteria don’t grow as well so th…

    I don’t think this is true, but it’s not my forte. Pure ammonia is toxic to animals. At normal outdoor temperatures it also only becomes a liquid at ~100 PSI (it’s like 150 at 80F)…

    Then you have 1,000 separate ammonia generation systems that need upkeep, repairs, etc. It is doing chemical reactions under pressure to produce presumably ammonium nitrate which i…

    The median home age ranges from 26 to 63 depending on state, and 100 amp service was common into the 90s. 100A service is probably more common than you think, I'd bet we teeter aro…
