<p>1st, this is unlike CAR-T as there is no extraction, engineering on that extraction, and then reinjection.<p>2nd, the only injection is intravenous. It uses a kind of virus that has been specifically engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier. That virus has a payload which infects/alters astrocytes already inside the brain, and the astrocytes become aggressive at clearing amyloid plaques.<p>3rd, I agree that the road to a marketable therapeutic could be a long way off.</p>

<p>@strcat, you've mentioned GrapheneOS will have access to internal code to do hardening below the OS layer. Does this mean Motorola devices will offer stronger security than Pixels, where you're limited by what Google exposes?<p>Is Motorola contributing engineering resources directly to GrapheneOS, or is the partnership purely about hardware enablement on their side?</p>

<p>No, you probably haven't read the conversation piece.

<p>This law demands a surveillance architecture, not just porn regulation. Once the norm and mechanism to de-anonymize content use exists, it can be expanded to any content, including political dissent, and for both accessing AND contributing to content (like, for example, on HN). The line should be drawn here.<p>The vague potential harm of sex doesn't justify the concrete harm of abolishing digital privacy. Further, it's just sex. Equating imagery of legal, natural activity with physical danger is an error.<p>It is blatantly dangerous to justify stripping citizens of their anonymity. The lawmakers who proposed this are oppressors. They are the danger to our children.</p>

<p>I am not challenging the safety release mechanism. The OP already demonstrated that.<p>I am challenging the result of that release in your poorly framed experiment.<p>You explicitly sought to test 'a different side of the spectrum.' You cannot equate a holistic character judgment with a narrowed, specific medical safety protocol judgement.<p>A clean account without memories will solve the tie-breaker issue. It will not solve the poor experimental design.</p>

<p>That comparison is flawed. You guided the LLM to judge a specific medical policy, whereas the OP asked for a holistic evaluation of the candidates. You created a framing instead of allowing the LLM to evaluate without your input.<p>Furthermore, admitting you have 'memories' enabled invalidates the test in both cases.<p>As an aside, I would not expect that one party's candidate is always more correct over the other for every possible issue. Particular issues carry more weight, and the overall correctness should be considered.</p>

<p>I think you're relating coal as a percentage of all energy rather than relative to itself year on year.<p>The data here shows that coal consumption is simply increasing in China. Therefore, I believe it is inaccurate to say "they are building more plants but starting to burn less coal." It is more accurate to say "they are building more plants and burning more coal, but they are not increasing their coal use at the same rate they increase their use of other energy sources."<p><a href="https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-coal?tab=line&time=earliest..2023&country=CHN~OWID_ASI~OWID_EUR~OWID_NAM" rel="nofollow">https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-coal?tab=line&...</a><p>Our World In Data gets that information from <a href="https://globalcarbonbudget.org/" rel="nofollow">https://globalcarbonbudget.org/</a>. I believe that the next update will include 2024 data, and should be available next month.<p>My reason for challenging the phrasing is just to be precise. This is a complex topic, and the distinction between a falling percentage of energy mix versus a rising absolute amount of consumption is a key detail that's often missed.</p>

<p>I looked up the amount of blood lost due to a menstruation cycle, and the answer is around 50 ml.<p>OP's linked paper has "the iron-reduction patients had 300ml of blood removed at the start of the trial and between 250 and 500ml removed four weeks later."<p>A blood donation removes 500 ml, so about a year of menstruation all at once. You can donate every two months, besides.<p>So, yes, if there is an effect then we might expect the magnitude of the effect to differ. Or else we'd expect a paper cut to also have the same effect.<p>Sex biological difference could matter as well.</p>

<p>Yes, but the relative amount per volume blood should be the same. I think that's why he's asking.<p>If so, the answer is that the body replenishes plasma in a day and red cells in six weeks (redcrossblood.org FAQ). The relative amount does change quickly.</p>
