    In the linked article, rybett@aol.com uses the CORREL function in an openoffice spreadsheet to determine a weak correlation between autism diagnoses and sulfur content in tap water in a few regions of New Jersey.

    His other publications include a self-published amazon book titled Autism, Enzymes and the Brimstone Demons. [1]

    It's not used for b12 production in human metabolism. It is, after all, a vitamin. Is this about cobalt deficiency in dairy and meat animals?

    Exactly. It's the same way that having a deformed jaw, hydrocephalus, and leg braces equates to being absolute ruler over an empire colonizing half the world.

    Feature request: an alarm clock mode that gradually fades in stall warnings and mayday chatter when you need to wake up.

    > How is this different from tesseract and friends?

    The workflow is for digitizing historical printed documents. Think conserving old announcements in blackletter typesetting, not extracting info from typewritten business documents.

    Most clever has to be the encoding on the left side of the flag of Belarus, which reveals a special pattern after 1991 iterations!

    Edit: not really. But what a wasted opportunity. Come on, State Committee for Standardization of the Republic of Belarus, what are you doing all day?

    I wonder if there's a significant nominative determinism effect--

    One might expect some of the most prominent people in math and cs theory to have names like Aaronson and Baez...

    Mandatory binding arbitration will still be an issue.

    Maybe pack those pseudocourts by registering a huge roster of consumer-oriented arbitrators?

    Edit: Whoops. I incorrectly believed that Caffe was developed with DARPA support. I see DARPA acknowledgments on papers written at BLVC by some of the same authors, but not on Caffe itself.

    Seems like a reasonable alternative to Proton for multiple domains: email that costs money instead of being haunted by AI.

    That logo is creepy though, and implies exactly the opposite.

    I'm no topologist, but I don't think they're going to be able to place that catheter without at least one hole.

    Less conveniently, you can use your browser to inspect the code panel and change its font to whatever you like.

    You may gaze upon SF Mono only in conjunction with the APPLE DEVELOPER TOOLS; any unauthorized viewing will melt your eyeballs.

    Here's the location of the Ark, for those still curious:

    Terrible decision. Upper Volta was the coolest country name on Earth. Who wouldn't tremble before the Upper Voltaic Ambassador?

    Would have been far more interesting and mysterious if it was Georgia (outer Main Belt asteroid).

    It's the brand name. When you need authentic pottery built to last, look for CHON on the cylinder.

    Customer: *checks cylinder*, hey, this isn't CHON, it's Cð“…“ON!

    For this set I'm gonna need a 5HP turntable with dual 4-jaw chucks

    He (Alfred) was well-known for explosives but most of his money came from his shares in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branobel, run by his brothers.

    I'm not sure how to read this correctly, was the kindergarten comment a one-sentence aside, or do you mean you remember kindergarten as a demented hellscape?

    Look at lucky Mr haccount here, with his fancy brand-name produce. You call that dystopian? Here we just slurp our 10% white vinegar straight out of the acetate reactor for 300 kcal per liter.

    Should be fine unless the Aoshima Bird Protection Society gets involved

    I think a promising direction for future research could be to develop a sort of elastic, self-lubricating sleeve structure.

    It's in "Joule", one of dozens of less prominent publications on the same platform as Cell.

    Interesting features:

      - No 1 or 0, just use l and O
  - Page width is measured using decimal-divided inches
  - That lowercase g glyph!

    It might be that exploring new physics might be best pursued by inhuman alphago-style setups.

    A sharp, domain-specific Feynman-flavored LLM would be broadly useful and still worth bothering with.

      I have freed  
  the symbols  
  from your  
  clumsy lines

  which  
  the linter probably  
  considers  
  in error  
    
  Indulge me  
  it's more readable  
  neat functions  
  in neat form
