Please remember to spread the word about this :(
  • The process you’re thinking of is oxygenation, not oxidation. Oxygenation is the binding of oxygen to other molecules, oxidation is the loss of electrons. When the iron in hemoglobin oxidizes (from Fe2+ to Fe3+) it stops binding with oxygen, and if it oxidizes further (to Fe4+) it can start oxidizing other molecules in your body. Your body has enzymes to reduce the iron back to a reactive state, but antioxidants also play a role in reducing oxidized molecules.

  • Doctors are using unapproved AI software to record patient meetings, investigation reveals
  • To save you some time: Google and Meta are monitoring the conversations using the device's microphone

    This is not happening. It is not something that would be possible to hide, there are so many different places this could (and would) be detected by someone with the right know-how (data/battery consumption in particular).

    Try and pay attention to how many ads you get that are completely irrelevant to you. It will happen way more often than ones that match up with your conversations.

  • Car Brain is a disease
  • And people drive themselves on those roads. You need to hire people to run and maintain the trains.

    How far do you expect people to walk? The rural parts of my state have an average of less than 10 people per square mile. Is the train stopping every mile or two? Not terribly efficient. Trains between and around population centers would be great, but expecting rural people to fully ditch cars is just completely infeasible.

  • Car Brain is a disease
  • Right, because it’s totally feasible to run a personal rail line to every home in a rural community. Taxpayers will happily pay for miles of rail so one family can get to town.

  • Fluffiest dog detector
  • That’s true of any poorly socialized dog, even more so if it’s an intact male. If you’re against pitbull breeding you should be against every large breed with the capacity to maim and kill.

  • Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’
  • Low morale/dissatisfaction =/= anger. They’re more likely to be uncomfortable and unwilling to use violence against protesters, especially since they are significantly more trained to identify threats than police are. They know these protesters are not a threat, and all their training and rules of engagement tell them to not engage.

  • Most aggressive dog breeds
  • It is a thing, but most controlled studies haven’t found pitbulls to be inherently more aggressive than other breeds, just more dangerous if they happen to attack. Any dog that is poorly socialized will probably attack someone sooner or later, they just weren’t bred to latch on and shred things with their jaws like pitbulls were. So maybe there is a discussion to be had about “dangerous” breeds, but it’s not a genetics one.

  • Are humans really so predictable that algorithms can easily see thru us, or does continuous use of algorithm feeds make us predictable to their results?
  • That’s not it. Even without any added variability they would still be wrong all the time. The issue is inherent to LLMs; they don’t actually understand your questions or even their own responses. It’s just the most probable jumble of words that would follow the question.

  • And then the fire nation attacked
  • To be fair, ADHD is a developmental disorder that sometimes can present as delayed development rather than halted development. I.e being behind in executive functioning development but eventually “catching up” to peers.

    That said, the severity of cases is still often determined through the lens of “how well do they fit in/mask it” and not “how is their emotional/mental wellbeing”, which definitely gives the impression of kids “growing out of it”.

  • Revealed: UnitedHealth secretly paid nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers
  • Years later, Sarah Palin started yammering about the "death panels" in ObamaCare, and I thought "the insurance companies already have death panels, why isn't anybody worried about that?

    And not even death panels, just individuals who are not licensed to practice medicine who deny anyone and everyone they can make up a reason for. The merits are never considered, death is the default option.

  • They are VERY different
  • The ADHD part is doing it constantly. Everyone loses stuff some times, ADHD people lose stuff all the time.

    That’s the part that irks me when people pull the “oh but I do that so it’s not ADHD”. The difference isn’t if it does or doesn’t happen, it’s how often it happens and how much it impacts your day to day life.

  • Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US
  • Neither 110VAC or 240VAC is inherently more dangerous as long as the system is paired with the right gauge of wire. As for personal safety, both are more than capable of killing you regardless of amperage. 240VAC may even be a little more capable because it can push more current through the resistance of your body.

    I’ll admit, American plugs/outlets leave a lot to be desired, but it’s not any more dangerous because of the higher current.
