"the ranting on mailing lists, meanwhile, will fade into the archives..."

Only if time proves DJB wrong.

This article uses quantities when percentages provide a different perspective.

"The country is down 65k industrial jobs over the last year..."

The second graph for US Blue Collar employment shows 100K jobs lost from the 2025 peak to the end of the graph.

Jobs went from 29.05 million down to 28.93 million [visual guess on my part].

My take: less than 1% drop in industrial jobs in since 2025 peak could be simple adjustment after pandemic induced flucutations.

IP Check makes this incomplete statement about my IP:

”Good News! Your IP address shows no signs of malicious activity. Keep up the good security practices:"

Should say "that we can detect" else I might get a false sense of security.

Can the OP change the HN item title so scrollers don't think there is a problem with MRI? Isn't fMRI being questioned?

Looks like a mod got to it!

"It also produced more false positives than humans, sometimes mistaking harmless network signals for signs of a successful breach. The researchers noted that the system performs best in environments dominated by text-based inputs and outputs."

How many more? The article doesn't say.

Title should begin with "Maybe".

Julian Jaynes proposed this as a hypothesis.

"...particles from tires, brakes and dust...". So blame the EV chargers? How about doing something about the tire and brake dust? It is not like the wind can't blow that around. Maybe put filters on the wind /s.

The article cited [0] discusses ventilated filters, not all filters. It is a dodge for regulator's smoking machines.

Since I think people are going to smoke a better solution would be mandated biodegradable filters. Unfiltered cigarettes must be worse for smokers than filtered cigarettes. Unless the filter material itself is dangerous :)

You'd think so, but no.

"Cigarette filters are believed by many to reduce the health risks of smoking. This article outlines the history of the technology of filters and discusses the impacts of these cigarette design features and their regulation. We conducted a literature review to assess the impacts of this technology. The results show that filters were initially developed for aesthetic purposes and later improved and marketed as a harm reduction technology. The most widely-used filters are those made of cellulose acetate with or without activated carbon. Despite smokers’ beliefs and advertising claims, filters have no health benefits and filter tip ventilation can increase the health risks of smoking. Filters can also make cigarettes more appealing and cause significant environmental impacts. Cigarette filters have no health benefits and lull smokers into a false sense of security and should therefore be banned." - ["Health without filters: the health and environmental impacts of cigarette filters" (2021)](https://www.scielo.br/j/csc/a/k7CJ3Wvq3yMLSmmmwT89cPw/?lang=...)

nice <big compile> works for me nicely, with less typing if it's a CPU issue. If it's memory depletion it's no help.
