If you're curious about the point early in the article "Can there be any permanent value or any absolute truth in the world in which the three angles of the triangle have ceased to be equal to two right angles- in a world in which time itself has lost its meaning, in which infinity become so finite, and the finite is lost in the infinite?" there's more at: https://meaningness.com/collapse-of-rational-certainty

Oof, maybe see if you can budge word, etc retrieval with ventilating/monitoring CO2, intentional breath, and by trying different hydration electrolyte balances.

Reading this 4% Pharma conglomerate flow figure, I'm indirectly struck that increasing all-cause cancer likely raises GDP, particularly this segment of GDP. My main consolation in this moment is that lead exposure probably doesn't.

I wasn't sure it was public domain (likely not) but I went to the same source as the others, made a fork, and added the first 10 of her's in this handy Tao Te Ching side-by-side comparison tool a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29951207

I'm not a biologist but here's a thread of things I noticed following it clockwise: https://mastodon.cloud/@thadk/109971022004345501

I suppose all the easier for the M4 Ultra to surpass at WWDC when it double or quadruples the iPad's core count-oriented specs.

Beyond the general look of places or particular constructed tells, I wonder if the model is taking any hints from analemma type patterns or latitude by the sun position (e.g. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/TheLongit... ). Cryptonomicon's use of that problem came to mind.

Indeed, the first three words in the book version of this essay are credit to Christopher Alexander's original.

When I first saw this quote, I tried looking up "fleece vests spun from recycled glass" but didn't find anything. Anyone know what this reference is about?

Thanks, see the sibling comment response below. I use the Wirecutter's Coway unit recommendation mostly. I have not tried the larger IKEA unit but at least it seemed to mitigate what I mention there. I did try washing the article's unit "prefilter" but it didn't seem to catch anything vs. the Coway.

The original article's unit flow rate must have been underpowered then. Or the filter had insufficient holding capacity before passing the dust mite allergen particles back into the air. It never seemed to catch enough of what it passed through. Regardless, it was completely insufficient for the palpable relief I was accustomed to.

I use the Wirecutter's Coway unit recommendation mostly. I have not tried the larger IKEA unit but at least it seemed to mitigate the above.

Good notes, thanks for sharing, I do already take those precautions, mop weekly, no rugs, prefer ample fresh air (ERV or window), and now mostly rely on HEPA filters for extra relief during exercise (kicked up dust), when I'm struggling, or in pollen season. The new nasal azelastine antihistamine also helpful.

Even true HEPA filters can also get inundated a bit too quickly (1-5 mo) in my house otherwise and if I don't notice that, it's worse than nothing. So excepting pollen season, fresh air has a better failure mode.

To affect relative humidity to <50% for mites, unfortunately as far as I can tell, high humidity requires kilowatts of electricity to drop in older buildings in rainy climates, esp. without sealing and compromising air quality in other ways (CO2 too).

I owned that IKEA purifier and it didn't clear the dust sufficiently for my dust mite allergy compared to similarly sized Coway filters. Also it wasn't as straightforward to clean off large pre-filtered dust particles. Avoid.

Maybe try the STARKVIND one instead.

Is it possible that Apple is fighting so hard on this because the Masimo patent also covers applications in blood glucose which Apple has sunken nearly a decade of intense fairly independent R&D into at this point?

Wow, even just that bit about mold being able to colonize a dehumidifier without its own MERV/HEPA filter is an important and hard to realize insight.

I haven't really used it but could this be used as a ground-truth for SQL something like how OpenAI Code Interpreter / Advanced Data Analysis is used for python?

If you "improved" the insulation on your domicile in the past few years and/or people in your household began working at home more, consider the average CO2 may have increased notably (which will vary by season) leaving you foggier. Try cracking windows for a cross-breeze (or more than cracking them if the temp is not too different outside from inside).

Aranet4's are an investment but can be worthwhile once you recognize it as an issue for you.

The iconic Windows XP photograph was done in Sonoma County, so the focus on new overhead views of Sonoma County which "crest that hill" is probably part of their tongue and cheek goal here.

Thank you for recognizing the perspective: holy downvotes! Anyway, the lightning cable design did/does allow it so people probably are used to doing it somewhat e.g. in bed. It was the one upside of lightning IMO.

Don't get me wrong: I do welcome USB-C but I hope Apple warns people or begins to make the rear glass out of the stronger material of the front glass if they haven't already.

A friend got a new high end 2019 Samsung phone. The week it came, we were at the beach. I offered my USB battery. They used a USB-C to USB-C charge cable to connect it. They passed the phone-and-battery to me and I grabbed it by the cable , as I would with a lightning cable.

The USB-C detached from the phone and the phone fell 3.5 feet onto the rocky sand. It immediately broke the rear glass.

After that experience, I'm still skeptical if the friction available in the USB-C socket is up to the task of day-to-day phone use (vs lightning). Among other challenges, Apple must have been struggling with this all along.

Maybe if they made the printed claim and bag stickers random, matching colors, this mixup would be less likely to occur.

Having ChatGPT or equivalent create a basic Makefile for these commands (and other commands) is a quick way to preserve your process for later. You can show it your file structure first too.

As it happens, the Luke-Yoda phraseology like "Do or do not. There is no try" seems to be drawn by George Lucas from the popular late 1960s era books by Carlos Castaneda about a mentorship (~7 mil copies sold). That in turn seems to be about the apprenticeship that Castaneda had with his UCLA PhD advisor Harold Garfinkel:

Sorry, "best by" dates are the strongest indicator I have that I'm not going to get a migraine after eating pantry food. If any given food was equal, the more I push beyond the dates, the more severe they get.

They're not perfect, but to my body, also clearly not meaningless.

Consider that food producers are logically often already under ample pressure to set those dates in reasonable thresholds on both sides by their reputations and their own supply chain lags.

Asked it before and ask it again: how far are we from NYT or WSJ using this for d3 infoviz features?
