Of course. Maybe not successfully but a "virus" is just software. If it runs software, it runs software, full stop. Maybe the same APIs are not available or behave differently, so it may be buggy or non-functional, but that's true of Half-Life here too.

These are not the same.

Indeed, learning about mitochondria is more innocuous...

Am I correct it looks like this was published 3 days ago? They made that video.. in essentially 2 days?

I doubt it based solely on that there are multiple interviews including from one of the paper’s authors. Given that Veritasium is a very well known channel at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they were contacted instead and then roughly coordinated the timing of the paper and video release together.

I very much disagree that it's coming. I think we need to completely reset our expectations of how the market works. There's been nearly an entire generation working in this "new" bull market, where things like EPS mean absolutely nothing and speculation no longer requires actual returns.


>I think we need to completely reset our expectations of how the market works.

Is this not just "It's different this time" thinking? I remember it being used all the time during the dotcom boom


> There's been nearly an entire generation working in this "new" bull market

You mean 0DTE babies?


It’s unfortunate, but this exact sentiment precludes every market crash. Just before dotcom burst it was the same thing. Technology will change everything the nasdaq will continue to grow in the technology age, etc etc. eventually the chickens come home to roost as they say


It did though. Look at it now. The crash was incredibly short lived, and if you try to point it out on a graph of the last 30 years, you won't be able to find it.

To protect the corruption scandal already at play. It's not about the company, it's about protecting the church.


I just released a UI framework based on VST designs. https://analogui.com/


This page is very broken for me (Firefox on Android). It looks there's some kind of Z-fighting happening on the buttons? Also, they scroll slightly faster than the rest of the page, such that when at the bottom they're completely out of their sockets.


Gorgeous!

But the intense latency and low framerate feel makes it nearly unusable for me I'm afraid. And I'm trying on a powerful workstation. There are some fundamental performance issues in this implementation.

I could see it being intentional too, to add a sensation of weight? If that's the case, that's a good idea, but the current implementation feels more laggy than weighty.


Optically, it looks very nice, but it kills my CPU.


Why is this upvoted.


user8 has done some popular HN posts.


Have they? The most popular post from this domain is 5 days old and has ~500 points. Hardly a crowd favourite. The submitter seems to be the author, but doesn't have any more popular posts. A search for "user8" on algolia turns up these posts, and nothing else that was at all popular.


500 pts is no laggard either.


Local AI will catch up. Unless we can't get our hands on hardware anymore, which is a legitimate concern I have.


Xbox/Microsoft Game Pass actually automatically canceled for me when I hadn't used it.


Ha! I very recently started something for peppers (Capsicum) https://pepperrank.com/


I love these niche sites! my friend recently started this for Tinned Fish (absolutely and solely for the love of the fish and with no plans to monetize.) He loves that a few random people will rank hundreds of tins. http://tinventory.co/


I've seen some similar sites

https://pepperscale.com/hot-pepper-list/

https://scovillescale.org/

https://pepperdatabase.org/

I feel like I remember using another one much more similar to your site a while back but I can't seem to find it. But pepperscale is really cool and has individual profiles for cultivars


all objectively better names


Data quality on Scoville is unfortunately garbage; Testing is expensive and both individual plants and individual growers/fields are highly variable, so nearly everyone is playing 'telephone' making subjective claims in relation to "known" standard varieties which are also usually subjective claims.

"Slightly hotter than a Jalapeno" means very little when a Jalapeno is anywhere from 3,000 scoville to 60,000 scoville.


I've learned in the course of making this site, that pretty much all information about peppers is garbage. That's half the reason I wanted to start this.


How expensive is testing now? It looks like the standard method is HPLC analysis of capsaicinoids. I found old forum posts from about 10 years ago indicating $50-$65 per test from providers including SBL, which doesn't sound bad, but I don't know if prices have gone up recently.


Part of the issue is that there's a massive variety between peppers, and genetic diversity is incredibly wide, making it nearly impossible to determine the exact type of pepper you have. There are a few different universities and governments that "certify" peppers, but they aren't connected in any way.


That makes a lot of sense. I was thinking about testing a particular pepper you have for chemical content, but genetic testing and mapping results to pepper type names does sound more complicated/expensive.


Why are you making my screen look dirty? lol


lol I kind of thought it made it look like a hot sauce label. but maybe not.
