Perhaps we now know how acetaminophen works. Very odd that it's been a mystery all this time. It's not a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, which is how I remember learning it many years ago. Quite different, actually.

A new way of scamming people. Apparently it's possible to inject any text you want in the text box inputs, making people think phone numbers are legit.

This YT video of Hawaiian history is depressing. Yeah, I learned about a lot of this as a kid, but the losses suffered by the native Hawaiians over the past 200 years is pretty dramatic. The Lahaina fire of 2023 was just the latest installation. Yeah, the haoles in the 1800s were greedy bastards, but the native Hawaiians needed to up their game. There's no sign that they did anything more than become activists. And now, they are so marginalized. This is what happens when you don't adapt to the new realities. There's so much in Hawaii of which to make money, but sadly the native Hawaiians have so little ownership of anything.

When ChatGPT went down for several hours last week, everyday users, students with exams, and office workers posted in despair: “If it doesnt come back soon my boss is gonna start asking why I havent done anything all day,” one person commented on Downdetector, a website that tracks internet outages. “I have an interview tomorrow for a position I know practically nothing about, who will coach me??” wrote another.
Why can't people use a different LLM? Are they that uninformed?

Medical price transparency is not working out in Oregon. I guess you can have an executive order, but that doesn't necessarily mean that companies will listen. This is the post-modern world, you know. People always test the law, and only follow it if they are punished for violations. Otherwise, forget it. We've seen that with illegal immigration and illicit drugs.
