I expect it doesn’t matter if you only print occasionally, but toner exposure from operating printers seems to be a significant health risk: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2923300…

> cables haven't improved since USB-C, 9 years ago Not to distract from your point, which I agree with, but that is just plainly untrue. A USB-C cable from 9 years ago almost certa…

The tests are done using proprietary hard- and software, though it is generally made by biotech and not pharmaceutical companies.

I fail to see the net loss to society in this scenario.

What a shitty take. There’s only so much ibuprofen you can take before the risks start outweighing the benefits, and there’s plenty of pain that is much stronger than that.

I’ve set up an AuthorizedKeysCommand that uses unbound to get the authorized keys for the server via DNSSEC, with the ability to specify keys for whole servers, users on servers or…

I fail to see how any of the mentioned pronouns are ungrammatical. As for competing needs and such, in this case it’s as easy as using she/her (as maia lists that as one of its pro…

> test of reasoning My experience is that ChatGPT is not particularly good at reasoning, so I assume that either the test isn’t a particularly good test of reasoning or the result …

The numbers in that table are the numbers from the bra sizing system, not necessarily actual measurements. The EU system for some reason uses band size numbers about 10 less than t…

Oh yeah it’s not always wrong, just often enough and convincing enough that it would be dangerous to rely on it.

You can generally “convince” it to agree with anything, how difficult that is depends on how strongly it “knows” that what you say is wrong. Making it agree that violence is cool i…

Same with anything ChatGPT tells you, except it manages to sound much more convincing than Google does.

I did actually miss that. But my point is that none of the papers established a limit at 10 years and it’s not clear at all how the authors came up with that number.

What does child labour and slavery being profitable have to do with whether “without regulations we’d still have child labour” is a compelling argument?

I don’t know why they write that, but one of the papers they quote for that claim reported success with samples up to 19 years old and in turn cites a paper that reported “genotypi…

I’m quite happy with Glauca [1], they’re not quite as cheap but their DNS stuff is pretty good and they are friendly and helpful. Only downside is their website being a bit slow so…

Microsoft has evidence that the code they are reproducing is MIT licensed, so are they intentionally violating that license or does this AI thing include the license and attributio…

Don’t most licenses require at least attribution? I don’t believe GitHub is restricting themselves to only licenses that don’t. In fact the only software licenses I can think of th…

Sounds a bit like you weren't an organ donor because it's the right thing but because it makes you feel good. And now that good feeling is taken away from you because everyone is a…

It has historical reasons. Back when Napoleon conquered Europe, the HRE redistributed some land from the Church to the secular rulers and in return promised to fund them via taxes …
