3 Gy is nowhere near what could be qualified as a "Low dose".

"A whole-body acute exposure to 5 grays or more of high-energy radiation usually leads to death within 14 days. LD1 is 2.5 Gy, LD50 is 5 Gy and LD99 is 8 Gy.[11] The LD50 dose represents 375 joules for a 75 kg adult. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_(unit)#Radiation_poisonin...

"Let's please stop arguing about the image now*, and move on to more interesting points."

That's rude. Let's not confuse Hackenews with a ChatGPT prompt.

It's time to admit that we don't need to work more than 3 days a week to be happy.

There are treatments that are very effective for treating psoriasis, especially those based on monoclonal antibodies. I was treated for atopic dermatitis (which is a similar disease), and I have been in near remission for several years. However, the treatment is very expensive.

Certainly, but the use case mentioned here is not related to a performance issue. It's more about syntactic sugar when a user writes SQL in interactive mode to explore data.

Yes, that's true. After all, it's the functionality that is important, regardless of the means to achieve it. On the other hand, the fact that it is part of the syntax has other advantages: - it makes the functionality independent of the querying tool used - it is immediately understandable, and easy to use - it can be offered by automatic completion and therefore have a higher discoverability power than a function that would be hidden in the editor

It would be really great if other languages could adopt this idea in their versioning system.

Just for full disclosure: I removed the mention of ChatGPT.

I am the author of the post. The reason is that English is not my native language, and summarizing is very resource-consuming for me, much more than if I had to do it in my native language. But I take note of the antagonistic aspect and I will make sure to rewrite the summary ;)

I think at this point we should quantify the proportion of "inflationary" updates (i.e. those that bring absolutely nothing in terms of functionality or security) versus real updates.

Let's take a fictional example: I import D3.js to use the parseDSV() function, after 2 years the method has not received any updates, but the package has gone from version 1.0.2 to 5.0.2. With a granular system, my function would still be on version 1.0.2 (because no changes were made), but with the current system I would have received an unnecessary update.

So, in this case, granular versioning would actually help to put an end to the chaos of dependencies.

Does anybody know why some Starlink satellites are lined up?

I'm tired of people saying they're tired. I use ChatGPT every day and it provides results of a quality that has little to do with Google, even though I'm aware that it sometimes fibs to me, makes up names for functions that don't exist, or makes mistakes. There's hype, but I think it's much more deserved than the hype around cryptocurrencies

The criticisms regarding chatGPT remind me of what was said about Wikipedia at its very beginning, that it was supposedly unreliable. I think we will have a good laugh in a few years reading these first comments.

There is no doubt that chatGPT is the future. It is certainly perfectible, but the existing basis is a revolution in progress.

In my opinion, there are two essential things missing for chatGPT to become the perfect replacement for Wikipedia and Google: - The ability to activate a "system 2" or slow thinking (theorized by Daniel Kahneman) - The ability to cite sources

And the cherry on the cake would be the ability to interact with images

I tried to parse the result of standardized POSIX commands for the nth time and I realize that i would be much easier if it were already done by a standardized output.

I would dream of a flag that allow all POSIX commands to output standardized and structured content.

I found the Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/53946710 (or https://archive.ph/2fO1l)

Maybe because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research

I had the opportunity to do some modest contributions to the underlying project (v86). I wanted to implement the full SIMD instruction sets, but it was almost impossible due to the current limitations of javascript.

The only way to do it properly would have been to wait for the support of SIMD instructions in webassembly. I had a chat with the main contributor Fabian, he had plans to port v86 in webassembly. I wonder if he ever succeed.

So this not a complete emulation as far I know, there is room for improvements.

Many data set are stored like that (Json separated by RC):

{"name":"name1", "phone":"+769989823"}

{"name":"name2", "phone":"+769244563"}

{"name":"name3", "phone":"+769989295"}

...

There should be a way to do the same thing with concise.

Smoke detector are now mandatory in France (since 2010)

This is because Le Monde is not GDPR compliant.

Interesting, but it would be much more efficient using something like QAM, because with binary tones most of the bandwidth is wasted.

First of all, you need a really "good" story. What is "good" depends on people, there is no general rule for that.

Make sure people are ready to listen, try to get their attention. Take a smile and try to make your voice deeper if you are a man, or adjust your pitch if you are a woman. If people seems not interested, don't be afraid and continue to talk anyway.

Talk louder if necessary (but not too much). Look at people in the eyes, and be confident.

Keep it short. Keep in mind that nobody cares about your life or your stories, they care about THEMSELVES.

Be always positive, even if something makes you angry or sad. There is nothing more annoying than listen to someone complaining.

I would love not to use it, but I'm compelled to. It is not only my choice, but the choice of others who are not interested in new languages (assuming that Python is new language...) and prefer to use PHP because they don't know anything else.

So yes, let me express my antipathy toward the PHP language and its ecosystem.

I work not "well". It has hundred of issues that are not, and will never be addressed. Like the inconsistent choice of function names, the antic (if not prehistoric) way of extension managing, the clumsiness of xdebugger, the bugs in the PDO library, etc.

I spend 80% of the time trying to figure out "a hack", and spend too much time on php.net & stackoverflow hunting for the right answer.

"The core principle of Tor, Onion routing, was developed in the mid-1990s by United States Naval Research Laboratory employees, mathematician Paul Syverson, and computer scientists Michael G. Reed and David Goldschlag, to protect U.S. intelligence communications online."

At this point, why not simply make your own? The simplest recipe would be n time better than an industrial one.

Look a the recipe: 150 g of seeds of brown mustard, 10cl of vinegar, 30cl of water, 10g of salt

Nothing really fancy, even my son could do it.

The same applies to homemade mayonnaise, 10 times better than the industrial one.

I'm astonished by the lack of security of these cards. In Europe we have a digital COVID certificate which consist of a QR Code, easily verifiable and unfalsifiable.

Anyone vaccinated can download a PDF version of this certificate with its social security number in France.

I understand better why US citizen have trouble to travel in Europe since there is actually no proof that one is really vaccinated.

And in the end we all end up in a coffin. There is no notion of "wasting your time", everything is pointless.
