i mean technically it’s possible, you can show someone lab i guess there’s nothing extremely dangerous, not sure how it works legally, but the process is rather boring and we’re talking about a place that stores literal tons of piss why would you go there

what kinda drug tests are we talking about here? i’m talking about the kind where you send piss sample and then get result, or in fact hundreds of results. you need to make sure all your paperwork is complete and lab is certified and so on because someone might say that results are legally invalid

to run drug tests you need six figure range machine, maybe 5 euro worth of plastic (spe column, eppendorfs, pipette tips), couple ml of acetonitrile and maybe 10min of machine time. it can run 24/7 and if you find anything you can do more detailed analysis

there was a time when anthropic models would refuse any question related to medicine. not because they care that hard, mind you. it’s because that bloated startup is ran by cultists and they were worried that chatbot will come up with a bioweapon

if you do that you have bigger problems

only if you take notes
- Comment on All mixed up 5 weeks ago:
this advice is specifically about sulfuric acid. it’s denser than water, so if added to it it will sink diluting itself along the way, while also heating water around and making it float to the surface. if done opposite way, water won’t mix immediately because of large density difference so neutralizatio heat will be deposited on surface between these two boiling water and throwing acid around. this matters less with other acids because less heat is deposited, and in some cases acid is less dense than water. but if you stir the acid quickly, you can do it either way as long as you control temperature. this also is the case when you need to mix two different acids
tldr you can do whatever you want as long as you know what are you doing

technically pv panels are also heat engines. this is why they need cooling

seeing that jargon file has an extensive page on retrocomputing feels like figuring out that there were archeologists in ancient egypt
- Comment on load bearing worm 1 month ago:
some people would tell you that we can simulate small bits of chemistry but it’s flat out wrong (i might be biased as i’ve wrangled for a year with computational chemists about results that don’t conform to reality) and even then errors are so large that’s it’s useless

Pain
- Comment on load bearing worm 1 month ago:
and then some bozo says that biology is just complicated chemistry and chemistry is just complicated physics and we can simulate physics
curious thing is that i never hear biologists or chemists saying that, only some physicists and techbros. just trying to simulate your way out of small organic chemistry problems will make you even more hopelessly lost than you were before
- Comment on load bearing worm 1 month ago:
maybe it introduces some critical contaminant (many such cases)
- Comment on Wonder why? 1 month ago:
that’s a weird metric to look at because drug approval happens only like, 5-15 years after end of preclinical research, sometimes longer

Shadowban is when you can see your own post/comment but it’s unsearchable or otherwise unreachable by other people. milder variant is comments hidden by default, some of them look like deleted by mod but it might be automatic. this is something different, why it happened to you idk but there is some trade in old accounts for spam purposes, maybe that’s why

there is empirical series of materials sorted from which one is most likely to lose vs gain electrons, but what exactly happens is one of unsolved problems in physics

- Comment on Radioactive Steel 2 months ago:
they did a whoopsie, lead 210 comes from uranium 238. every 220 years radioactivity drops 1000x which means that 200-300 year old lead is mostly fine. copper notably doesn’t have this problem, is dense and is refined to high degree, at scale. it’s good enough to shield most of relatively low energy radiation from that isotope (less than 50kev gammas). couple mm of copper should be plenty for many applications

Adding to that, logistics are such that direct impact will be felt strongest in places like India that rely heavily on Qatari LNG to make fertilizer, but many places have other sources of both gas and fertilizer. Americas, EU, Russia and China will get by because they have their own supply and will be only affected by price increase

without synthetic nitrogen fertilizer there’s only enough reactive nitrogen going around for something like 1-1.5B people. yea mate very sustainable to retvrn to traditional farming and starve 80% of the planet in the process
