They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.

Today's game is Zomboid. Yesterday was a lot of fun, and i had fun seeing everyone's opinions. I saw Zomboid mentioned a few times again yesterday and i got really in the mood to bring back Jerry and Cable. It's been a hot minute since i played Jerry i think, so for anyone who hasn't seen him before: Jerry Attricks basically a middle-aged Suburban Dad who when the apocalypse hit wanted to watch the big game and have a cookout. On his way back from the store he picked up his "son", Cable (played by my friend), off the streets. Cable is actually a "20 something gay stoner" (word for word quote from my friend), but he just goes along with it, despite the fact he's lost more limbs than a person probably should due to Jerry's actions.

Coders spent more time prompting and reviewing AI generations than they saved on coding. On the surface, METR's results seem to contradict other benchmarks and experiments that demonstrate increases in coding efficiency when AI tools are used. But those often also measure productivity in terms of total lines of code or the number of discrete tasks/code commits/pull requests completed, all of which can be poor proxies for actual coding efficiency. These factors lead the researchers to conclude that current AI coding tools may be particularly ill-suited to "settings with very high quality standards, or with many implicit requirements (e.g., relating to documentation, testing coverage, or linting/formatting) that take humans substantial time to learn." While those factors may not apply in "many realistic, economically relevant settings" involving simpler code bases, they could limit the impact of AI tools in this study and similar real-world situations.
