Fortunately, just about all of those are the result of slow poisoning via industrialized food sources. And can be remedied via diet. It's not fun wanting chili fries and having to eat eggs and home-made yogurt instead. But it's working in my case and I have the labs to prove it.
Given Anthropic lost two weeks of peak Fable 5 sales to a US government restriction (and by the time they could sell it again OpenAI's GPT-5.6 had taken some wind out of its sails) I would hope that the big AI labs have learned that goading the Feds can backfire spectacularly.
You’re viewing it from a freedom not a profit perspective. If a license to use AI is required, that creates artificial scarcity. The price goes up. If gov declares Qwen et.al apostate, lack of competition increases prices.
And Anthropic’s delayed rollout was a direct response to them trying to impose extra-legislative rules on The Pentagon. I kinda doubt OpenAI has such ‘scruples’.
I think OpenAI are smart enough to have looked at the Fable situation and decided that, given the unpredictable nature of the current administration, stunts like deliberately hacking another company and pretending that it was an autonomous agents gone wrong are not worth the risk.
None of them would want ICE to have that information.
And that's even ignoring for the moment the fact that things which are obvious weapons and things which are not obvious weapons pose different fundamental risks to society and that therefore it's always a stretch to lump them into the same category.
> Nor did they care about establishing vaccine card check points throughout civil society.
And yet the Biden Administration explicitly said it would not require vaccine passports from businesses and never built any national vaccination database or app, so this was just the usual conservative fearmongering.
There was also never an instance whereby vaccine status was required for any kind of travel between states or in daily life outside specific covered venues (for example, restaurants and gyms in NYC, where people would be in very close proximity to others with no other prophylaxis being used).
Meanwhile, conservative NPs are getting jailed and losing their licenses for forging vaccine cards for $7,000 a pop. As they should.
> Imagine if we got to do citizenship checks at bars and restaurants and doctor's offices.
In the last three days, ICE has pulled someone over for a "traffic violation" (which they have zero authority to do) and then said "Your taillights are out. Your papers please."
> every bouncer and doorman in bars and concert venue
Uhh, and?
Thought you conservative types thought the right of a business to refuse service was sacrosanct? Reality is “to refuse service to people I also dislike, not to me”.
> some illegal … emergency’
Other person is correct, you sound deranged. And racist.
How would you have any idea about their immigration status?
Speaking as a former paramedic, ERs are pretty good at least triaging acuity. They still have to at least assess everybody, but if they were being seen before your daughter, sorry, she was doing better than them.
Not at all the same. You didn’t have central databases for HR or apartment property management, background checks for cellphones, lots of interstate data connected with your PII.
> Last century, a year in jail ended after the year.
Yes I am seriously refuting your prior statement. Not saying things are identical; I am saying a jail term didn’t disappear for part of the last century,
You are correct in that the statement was overbroad, but clearly there is a difference in the volume of information now from the 1980s, when mandatory sentencing became law.
I used it to illustrate the point I have made about the effects of the trend.
It should be legal. Caveat Emptor applies always. to everything. I'd rather have choices available in a marketplace rather than a nanny state stifling innovation through its own incompetence.
With computerized registers and loyalty programs, it is way too easy to profile. I am not too worried about looking like I chug too much aspirin; it's the further out assumptions or speculations that models (like I myself once designed or otherwise) might make that I worry about, that would not require proof, and would not be documented somewhere. I mean there is also stuff "like" congestion pricing to worry about, and maybe that would work better to make people think about liberties and tech. Dunno.
in the specific case of this article, "innovation" and "choice" are exactly the problem here. we know what works well - they're well-studied generic compounds. there's no social reason whatsoever that "dayquil" or "tylenol" or "sudafed" should exist when generics are readily available and clearly labeled.
Not to chastise you or your wife, there is an actual "Liver Warning" on Tylenol Product labels. They warn against 4000mg/day or with alcohol consumption. It's not an on/off switch, the damage occurs on a ramp that achieves a critical point after so much consumption.
Saying this to encourage label reading and to refute those who might try to characterize your wife's experience as anecdotal. And for those who stop reading a page like this one, after the first paragraph that touts "no evidence": https://www.tylenolprofessional.com/safety-and-efficacy/safe... when at the bottom it reveals the Liver Warning.
Alcohol can actually be protective in a paracetamol overdose. Paracetamol itself isn't relatively dangerous, the metabolic product created by the liver is.
Alcohol use acutely reduces the levels of these enzymes which convert paracetamol into it's toxic byproduct as ethanol preferentially binds to the same enzyme for it's own metabolism. Therefore, acute alcohol consumption can reduce the harmful effects of paracetamol.
The reverse is true for overdose in the context of chronic alcohol use, when the liver adapts to long-term alcohol exposure by increasing the levels of enzymes, therefore rapidly metabolising paracetamol into it's toxic byproduct and worsening harm.

As a side comment, the lack of medical knowledge displayed in HN threads paired with the absolute confidence some verdicts are delivered with is worrying, and something I thought this forum would be better at than other sites (looking at you, reddit). Paracetamol and NSAIDs (including ibuprofens) are safe drugs if taken to the package directions. Some of the ideas shared in this thread about taking one over the other, or not taking one ever etc, are not rational. Please consult your doctor if you are worried about your particular situation, but generally OTC medicines are not dangerous if taken to the package instructions.
Accidental overdoses of paracetamol are exceeding rare, but intentional ones are common.
Its obviosly more dangerous with medicine but I see the same thing with other non-tech topics here like agriculture and construction trades so I always take non-tech topic comments with a grain of salt on here. There is a good diversity of experts on here but of course they can't be expected to correct everybody all the time.
Expert fallacy: I know a lot about X, so I'm also an expert on adjoining topics V, W, Y, and Z. Also on topic "ecks". And "x-rays". And "excerpts" and "excommunication". Ah, hell: I'm smarter than most, so I'm usually right. Especially about things I'm sure I right about.
It appears his wife took under that threshold and only for a few days. 4000mg is roughly 8-10 otc painkillers in a day (depending on the brand).
That said, everyone's physical ability to metabolise drugs is different. I might worry something else was wrong, or at least get a followup test done later, if her liver tox screen showed that, just to rule out another cause.
Everyone's ability to metabolize drugs being different has a lot to do with why the labels end up advising less than is effective for many people. Dextromethorphan surely is NOT ineffective, but at 2 tsp, yea, it aint gonna do much of anything (unless you're CYP2D6 deficient -- then, it may still do a LOT depending on how deficient).
1. NyQuil is not sold here. Not allowed. Probably for that reason! Us northern EUs must be smart, huh?
2. NyQuil is medication. Not what I nor the poster mean. They mean drinking for fun. hmmm whatever to say... Drinking wine, sprit, beer? For the effect of ethanol?
What we see in quotes is not the price of oil being shipped right now; it is usually a one-month futures contract. Traders expect that by this time, Hormuz will reopen. If it does not, they will lose money, but the actual price could be much higher.
