This is the original article and has better images IMHO.

But the risk is actually more broad than the article points out. Any honey where enough of the nectar comes from rhododendrons could be dangerous.

Grayanotoxin containing Rhododendron occur not just in Nepal, but in Turkey, North America, and Europe.

I think there are other plants that the bees concentrate the toxins of.

Another is Kalmia latifolia, the mountain laurel, the state flower of Pennsylvania. According to records at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History [1], "Benjamin Smith Barton (an American botanist in the late 1700s) wrote that in the autumn and winter of the year 1790, many people died in Pennsylvania from the effects of wild honey, collected from Kalmia plants."

I know that West Virginia has entire Rhododendron forests. They are pretty awesome.

And yet we are only hearing of this now, whereas botulism risk for example is a widely known reason to avoid honey for infants.

It must end up being rare for some other reason.

The posted one also removes a link to the original author's Google scholar page.

What makes you say it's LLM?

> Every article you read here is written by university scholars and researchers with deep expertise in their subjects, sharing their knowledge in their own words. We don’t oversimplify complicated issues, but we do explain and clarify. We believe bringing the voices of experts into the public discourse is good for democracy.

Probably the usual "big words hard" mindset of people who aren't used to reading well-written prose.

Quite the opposite. It's the completely devoid of creativity section titles, the use of triades, and the general rhythm of the text. All of this garnered with the general sense of filler content...

Dunno about AI, but I was turned away by the sheer amount of ad spam on the site

Such assurances mean almost nothing these days. But to be frank this specific article doesn't seem particularly AI to me.

I was under the impression Google engineers went through a rigorous hiring process, yet this is the sort of thing you get from lowest bidder consultants who have inexperienced devs.

Nah Google and Microsoft have been offshoring to India for years. And sorry, but the developers there suck.

Are you paying for GitHub? Are you complaining about an outage from a product you aren't even paying for? You know the whole point of git is you don't _need_ a central server.

I don't understand the entitlement in your post here.

Are you the user or the product? You can be both with GitHub! GitHub provide a compelling product, enough to become the defacto forge for many. But their reputation has taken a lot of hits, as a grey beard I'm salty since the Microsoft takeover, the downtime is just the leaky diaper icing.

To diagnose at a distance it feels like they need a stronger QA process, it's a product that scales horizontally, but somehow they find a way to break it for everyone on the regular! They need less hub and more node!

> I don't understand the entitlement in your post here.

Excuse me, I'm literally asking where I can pay to get the specific cloud/web-based features I listed. I'm trying hard to NOT rely on a free tier because I want to pay to have the entitlement to complain when I don't get what I paid for. You know, the way that commerce has existed for millennia. [0]

I don't know where this aggression is coming from. You seem to want me to stay on the free tier and shut up or go all locally-hosted. Great if either of those work for you, buddy.

Not OP, but I pay. And it was an annoyance today for several hours that did impact some work.

I don't need one, but I do have that because it's doing a bit more work than just git hosting (administratable access for others on the team, build actions, etc) and yes... I'm paying for it.

And I don't understand why some people feel they need to be the Criticism Constable.

He was fired 5 years after the zoom layoffs. That information is from the linked article.

Interesting take considering Fastmail is very clearly not an American company.

How is it NSA/DHS negligence? Neither is responsible for securing the infrastructure of state and local governments nor private companies.

They should provide guidance, but I’m not sure we really want the NSA inside of networks more than they already are.

If voters and CEOs don’t want to spend the money required to secure their infrastructure, that’s on them.

> How is it NSA/DHS negligence? Neither is responsible for securing the infrastructure of state and local governments nor private companies.

It is not a duty nor their responsibility. It is however bad for nation overall if companies don't dedicate some resources to security, so a sane administration will do something to advocate for it.

CISA was one of the first agencies gutted by the DOGE purge.

You wildcarded any traffic to github.com and thought, "eh, they probably check" and are wondering who is at fault? It's you.

You didn't think through the consequences, and you could learn a bit more about DNS.

> are wondering who is at fault? It's you I know, that's why I wrote it down.

I did not expect that Github facilitates other accounts creating scam pages under the domain I own...

Yeah, where are they getting the customers that want the big screen?

Are these people stupid? These product people have lost touch with reality. I'm driving, I want to focus on the road, not a 39 x 6" touch screen.

They're all copying Tesla. And ironically, only Tesla had a rational reason for their decision -- cost cutting. Not that I think the result is a net positive for the rest of us, it was ideal for Tesla. But just like the rest of their cost cutting choices they successfully spun it as a positive, and now other manufacturers are racing to copy them for all the wrong reasons. Though I suspect those manufacturers do secretly know the real reason and hope to benefit from it.

Yeah, /plan is the only way I can work with them now. Too much "helpful" crap I didn't ask for. Having nightmares of former coworkers who would want to refactor 80% of the code base for a 3 line change. AI doesn't subscribe to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
