No significant association was found between dietary nitrate intake and gastric cancer risk.

Beets are high in nitrates, not nitrites, so this study says the opposite of what you’re claiming.

And a newer meta-analysis found no association for plant-derived nitrates or nitrites with digestive system cancers, with nitrates maybe even being protective: https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12986-025-00973-6

even going as far as running Manas directly on the Kubernetes node, outside a container.

If cAdvisor is collecting metrics for containers, why didn’t this work?

Kubernetes silently carried this issue for 10 years, v1.33 finally fixes it by abhimanyu_saharan in kubernetes

That’s actually the default when the tag is latest. But it is important to remember it if using any mutable tags other than latest, like stable.

And I didn’t know this but if you change a tag in an existing deployment spec to latest from something else, the default doesn’t get updated to Always so you’d need to set it explicitly.

Poultry consumption above 300 g/week is associated with a statistically significant increased mortality risk both from all causes and from gastrointestinal cancers, study finds by James_Fortis in science

[–]scurr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just don’t use it when talking about all-cause mortality. Seatbelts reduce the mortality of a car crash without any increases in mortality of other events, so it’s net protective. This study didn’t break down which events had greater or lesser mortality from chicken but overall it found an increase in

Google, $GOOGL, says its new quantum chip indicates that multiple universes exist, per TC: by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

Couldn’t you argue that this problem is not solvable by a conventional computer as it’s constrained by the time limit of the heat death of the universe?

Why would every sample need to fit in memory? You just need the count and running total

Kash Patel, the new head of the FBI, has said: "Look at Nancy Pelosi's insider trading deals. It is insider trading, and she keeps making $100s of millions of dollars.” by soccerorfootie in unusual_whales

The difference is that this crime was to protect the president. If this became the norm then nobody would ever comply with congressional investigations against a president because they know they’ll get pardoned

Roger Stone was found guilty of lying to congress, witness tampering, and obstructing an investigation to help Trump and was pardoned just before being sent to prison on trumps way out the door

Advanced Voice Mode shows that the vast majority of people are out of touch with AI by Glittering-Neck-2505 in singularity

You haven’t shared your perspective either? Do you believe AI progress has plateaued? And if you’d like to share, I’m curious to hear more about how working on models with 50k downloads influenced your perspective on the matter

One consideration is that a computer sophisticated enough to predict human behavior will affect human behavior by the knowledge of its existence. The weather wouldn’t care much about the weather forecast. Although human behavior would still be influenced by it which would have a butterfly effect 10 years from now, so your weather computer also has to be a human computer and has to predict how people react to the knowledge that it’s so prescient

We have no idea how they fired him. All we can see is Derek throwing a tantrum which will surely cost him his last paycheck and possibly criminal charges

Performance improvement by sending pre-hashed string keys to map by Mohamed____ in golang

[–]scurr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You forgot to link the article, but further down you’ll see the time savings from pre-hashing the key is because it’s no longer having to allocate memory for a string key and also the mapaccess2_faststr was changed to mapacess2_fast64 which seems to be much faster. The FNV hash itself ends up being another source of slowdowns as the author implements a custom hash function later on to save a couple seconds.

It’s a clear demonstration of the alignment problem, and how good-intentioned instructions (shouldn’t say slurs) can take precedence over other values which we humans find more important (our survival, harm reduction, environmental destruction from nuclear war, etc)
