Hey! I actually appreciate this kind of HN humor. As in, when you pretend to read the title badly.

Fil-C works because you recompile the whole C userspace. Unsafe Rust doesn't do that... and for many practical purposes you probably want to touch the non-safe-version of the C userspace.

Still, it's all LLVM, so perhaps unsafe Rust for Fil-space can be a thing, a useful one for catching (what would be) UBs even [Fil-C defines everything, so no UBs, but I'm assuming you want to eventually run it outside of Fil-space].

Now I actually wonder if Fil-C has an escape hatch somewhere for syscalls that it does not understand etc. Well it doesn't do inline assembly, so I shouldn't expect much... I wonder how far one needs to extend the asm clobber syntax for it to remotely come close to working.

HTTPS is there, so you go down to that level only if you want to distrust any element of the public key infrastructure. Which, to be fair, there are plenty of reasons if you are paranoid -- they do tell you who's doing what in a shady way as they revoke, so there's a huge list of transgressions.

AM404 really is the metabolite that keeps giving. The central nervous system system effects were fun too, acting on cannabinoid receptors and/or TRPV1 channels -- so either stony or spicy.

From my limited experience of metamizole it feels a bit stronger than paracetamol/acetaminophen. Neat little drug if your genetics can take it.

Tangential: China technically banned metamizole due to the agranulocytosis scare, but somehow small clinics always have fresh stocks of this stuff. And their stocks don't look like my metamizole for horses! It's pressed out of the usual magnesium stearate instead of whatever rock-hard thing they use for animal drugs in China.

It does sound similar. Throw in a few helping lines about understanding why you do the "thinking" and it might even become dialectical.

Not a professional, but still use it like that. They also have a new smartblast thing, which works much faster (really, really like Google!) but only on highly similar proteins.

There's some work in looking at alternative ways of administering the BCG vaccine (iv injection, inhalation). The IV numbers are pretty promising -- if the monkey numbers hold. I hope that someone, somewhere pushes it into human trials soon.

There's also the nebulous but very nice-sounding "non-specific effect" with it. Who knows.
