The IARC ruling [...] is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not [... and] does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume.
From the article. ^^^
This is something people frequently overlook. A substance may be a "possible carcinogen" and also completely benign at levels any sane person would consume.
Bananas also contain carcinogenic material, but eating bananas is still very much a healthy thing to do. There's a reason banana equivalent dose is a concept, and "the dose makes the poison" is a common refrain in toxicology.
Biden’s order will also direct the government to consider ways to make affordable over-the-counter contraception, including emergency contraception, more accessible, the fact sheet said. This could include convening pharmacies, employers, and insurers to explore the issue.
The enlarged plenary meeting was held between Friday and Sunday, ordering workers and researchers to analyze the failed military satellite launch and prepare for another in the near future.
Maybe they should figure out what went wrong before they schedule the next one?
Imagine believing that nobody really has to understand code anymore. Fine, give it a new name, but people aren’t programmers if they mostly use AI and don’t really understand how it works.
If they understand how it works, it’s just like googling how to program, which really is just normal programming.
This always comes back in cycles. You don’t need programmers, just have analysts write their requirements in English! And that’s how we got COBOL (common business-oriented language) and programmers didn’t disappear.
Then when had other stuff like “low code and no code”. Graphic designers with grant promises of “citizen developer”.
All these have failed to remove programmers entirely. Why? It’s straightforward: defining software requirements in a concise way can’t be done in a better way than in code. Because that’s code, translating the requirements in a language that both a human and a machine can interpret reliably.
AI can do a bunch of things via prompts but how many prompts is it going to take to make a complex piece of software? And who is going to check the code that specifications have been well implemented?
Yeah, I’ll impress a bunch of managers with simple CRUD applications, and prototypes and perhaps save a lot of time in repetitive, boring basic functions but programmers are going to be needed.
Edit: Oh and it is in Nvidia’s interest for companies to invest heavily in AI and buy their hardware so of course their CEO is promising AI will solve all your problems as long as you pay him $$$.
Yes, Tusk is right on this one. There just one year to elections and they are starting unofficially, and next months will be critical since the inflation and energy crisis is gonna hit hard. PiS main tactics was always to stoke some horrendous shitstorm to divert people from what is important.
That said, PiS have great supporters - opposition. They fear anything left of Tusk and their own sponsors much more than they fear Kaczyński, so they will sooner lose than make (or even promise) anything to ease the coming hard times for the people.
Reuters learned of underage workers at the Hyundai-owned supplier following the brief disappearance in February of a Guatemalan migrant child from her family’s home in Alabama.
The girl, who turns 14 this month, and her two brothers, aged 12 and 15, all worked at the plant earlier this year and weren’t going to school, according to people familiar with their employment. Their father, Pedro Tzi, confirmed these people’s account in an interview with Reuters.
makes you wonder how common this is in other plants and facilities, especially the ones with organizational disconnect between themselves and their parent companies. it’s sort of the worst kept secret in america that this under-the-table stuff is how a lot of agricultural jobs get filled (either by children or undocumented adults) and i’m sure this has to also be the case to a lesser extent for other not-desirable jobs like this
Not upvoting, not because the subject isn’t interesting, but because of the framing: “The great popular hero russia restores water to the poor victims of the ukrainian despotism”.
I’d be interested in more sources on the implications behind this. I’d also be interested if you were to publish the same kind of propaganda against Turkey’s war crimes against the autonomous communities of Rojava ;-)
I would be more interested in you stopping NATO apologia in threads, but you have demonstrated otherwise by calling others Russian empire puppets. You are bothered and need to say “not upvoting” because you are supportive of Ukraine not letting Crimea having water supply, and do not want to say it openly.
Do you seek interest in publishing photos on Lemmy like this, since you call critics of current narrative “puppets of Russian Empire”?
If you can point to one instance where i advocated for NATO, i’d be happy to provide an apology. Unfortunately this does not exist except in your mind where being against the Russian empire means siding with the western empire. I strongly recommend you do some reading on third-worldism and the importance of non-alignment (in regards to colonial empires) for the socialist/communist/anarchist movement worldwide.

Challenge accepted. I’m all up for denouncing nazism/fascism where it is. I just criticize when denouncing a specific brand of fascism is done in a way to reinforce another (whether it’s USA or Russian fascism/imperialism).
On your “challenge accepted” post, you for some reason play both sides trope in plenty hideous ways:
On the Russian side of things, there’s also a bunch of neo-nazis in the army as well as traditional nationalists/fascists. It’s not exactly a secret either:
Both governments have long fought against popular movements and anarchist/antifascist networks. Both countries have neo-nazi/fascist militias parading down the streets and beating/killing random people. Just like France or USA have them too.
Check out the wikipedia page on neo-nazism.
This is a prime example of a grifter and not a critic. Criticism must happen not against the oppressed (pro-Russian) narrative, but the dominant (pro-NATO, pro-Ukraine) narrative. Russia needs to do a lot of catchup on whatever Anglo countries have done, for Russia to be equally called an empire.
You are a grifter trying to paint Russia as an equal to NATO in terms of whatever incidents have happened to date, when just about most of whatever is shown to paint Russia bad in the media is debunked as fake news. nitter.eu/dpfunke/status/1496928811753132033
Claims of Russia striking rockets in civilian places to gain empathy, when the below is Smerch complex, and not rockets with fuel in them.
Playing both sides trope when the media is suspiciously imbalanced against Russia is purely meant for grift purposes. You have already attempted to label Lemmy users as “pro-Putin internet leninist fanboys” in a post 2 hours ago:
