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/29233006/


> 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 certainly doesn’t support current standards for power delivery and data transfer.

Neither do most of the current chargers or devices :-(


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.


Actually you can take quite a bit of ibuprofen for a short period of time with no long term problems. You can also take ibuprofen and acetaminophen. It is quite the hot take that narcotic pain meds are safer.

I’m not at all suggesting ibuprofen for pain management of cancer patients or people immediately after major surgery.

But for a big chunk of outpatient procedures enough OTC pain meds will actually work just fine.

I’m not some granola advocate here. Nor am I trying to say that everyone should just tough it out. But you can’t seriously say that 800mg ibuprofen is more dangerous or less effective than opioids for wisdom teeth removal


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 globally for all servers. This is pretty neat for my few private boxes, I wouldn’t advise it for something bigger or enterprise, an ldap or similar seems better for that.


People scaling SSH authorization tend to set up SSH CAs (either directly, or baked into some higher-level management solution). SSH CAs scale down nicely, as well.


They originated around the same time, but singular you was initially only used for addressing superiors/showing respect (using the plural second person pronoun as a singular for this purpose is still a thing in a bunch of languages), a few hundred years later “you” became the standard second person singular pronoun while “thou” fell out of favour.


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 pronouns), in other cases it’s usually acceptable to use they/them or no pronouns at all. The only thing that is generally absolutely unacceptable is (knowingly) using the wrong gendered pronouns or using gendered pronouns when the person only uses non-gendered pronouns.


It's not that it's hard in any absolute sense, it's that imposes an ongoing overhead cost on people who may already pay a high cost to interact at all. (Also, of course, a cost on reading discussion about it. (Does that 'it' refer to the discussion or the author? You don't know! Have fun investing effort to work it out, every single time it's used.)


> 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 was a fluke.

It’s a text model, not a reasoning model, so I wouldn’t expect reasoning ability in the first place.


You're right, it's not particularly good at reasoning.


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 the actual underbust size.
