It seems like implementing HEPA filters in every classrooms has the biggest effect. The kids are spreading disease, infecting their parents, who then infect their coworkers.
Nice to see they mention UV, too. Aerolamp[0] is down to ~$500. If it were $100, it'd be easy to get into offices, too. Heck, if I worked in person, I'd buy a $100 one as an employee.
This is kinda debunked / obviously false. It's almost entirely a land use issue: a building will create a heat island. Data centers aren't using enough energy to make a significant difference.
More on it at [0], but it doesn't take anything beyond a basic energy calculation to know that 1GW of energy is not going to have a significant effect "6.2 miles away".
> The entire premise behind AI is that it can amplify (and in some cases) replace human workers. This seems completely backwards to what they're advertising to the enterprise in sales.
idgi. I'm pretty sure this is also exactly what they've been telling enterprise. This has been the line I've been hearing consistently from them (and everyone else).
It's kind of weird that I have to install their app on my computer, but recording a short video isn't that big of a deal, IMO.
That said, madiganf: I'd recommend poof-reading that Google Doc in the job posting. There were some malformed sentences. EDIT: Huh, looks like the doc has been edited and the questions themselves have changed a bit. :-)
I wouldn't consider "low body weight" to be a habit, but nice to know it's valuable.
I feel like these are all pretty much what everyone already believes. It's good to have studies to confirm and quantify the benefits, but it's hardly news that not smoking is healthier than smoking.
Confusingly they reference a 2026 article (which isn't included in their citation list) that allegedly includes "placebo-controlled trial", but I think it might just be [0], which is based on the same single-arm trial. If they do have a paper using a placebo-controlled trial, they should definitely include that citation.
This is definitely a concern. We've pretty much always been green, but it's hard to police after you leave, and usually we're gone before Temple Burn. (One year two of our camp mates stayed for Temple Burn and they ended up having to pack out two extra bikes that got dumped, in addition to having to deal with multiple people trying to camp in our empty spot. Maybe those people would've been fine, but given that they didn't understand the open camping situation, I'm unsure they understood LNT either.)
My primary experience is subscription ecommerce (starting in tech support and moving into fullstack engineering) and fincom. I'm always happy to learn new tech, but I've mostly done Python and JS/TS in the past few years.
> If excess beef consumption were reduced to healthy quantities, as defined by the EAT-Lancet healthy reference diet, and substituted with chicken in forty-eight higher-income countries, the lost calories avoided would be enough to meet the caloric needs of 850 million people.
It's really impressive how efficient chickens are compared to beef. Obviously thinks like legumes are way more efficient, but we've really bred chickens to be meat machines in a way we haven't with cows.
I've been building a Thunderbird extension that gives me the mail view I want.
So far it's mostly just configuring hotkeys to tag messages, and settings to hide or fold messages by tag, but I can trivially add functions to parse common messages, send things to my todo list, etc. It's great how easily programmable this is. I threw together a "summarize message with Gemma4 on Ollama", and it wasn't useful, but was a quick and easy experiment.
Thunderbird extensions are just Javascript using the Thunderbird API, and Claude knows the API, so it's a super-low barrier to get started on your own personal extension.
It doesn't require any technical expertise to set up--you click a button--unless you want to import into something else. I agree it should be more advertised, but I don't see how an open source tool would require less technical knowledge or be better known.
That's obviously false, if for no other reason than:
> and there is rigorous editorial process, to get my stuff published...
There are people who will see and review your work after the fact, but it's published immediately.
> Also here my name is right next to the text, not in wikipedia!
There's a link at the top of every page to see who wrote what text.
