They are useful to people who buy food (who hasn't had some potatoes sprout in a cabinet?), and to society generally. Insects are a fact of fruit, to call that "sketchy" is just ignorant.
Sprouted potatoes is a sing its time to get some new ones... you want to eat horded 6 month old potatoes glhf
I don't eat fumigated strawberries so replacing fumigated strawberries with irradiated strawberries is... not useful?

This is the ignorance I was talking about. There are many reasons to irradiate food besides substandard handling. For instance, potatoes can be irradiated to inhibit sprouting, increasing how long you can store them. And imported fruits can be irradiated to prevent the spread of insects and other pests (without needing to use far riskier pesticides.)
You proved my point actually.
Neither of those things is actually useful as an eater of food?
You want less fresh food and from sketchier sources yet you think those are virtues?

Then you should want regulations about how the pigs are raised, not banning the use of CRISPR.
As an EATER of food what is the benefit of CRISPR/GMO?
There answer after a good 40 minutes of searching is... nothing.
It's a technology 100% in service of being lazier/sloppier for industrial scale food production and in service of IP restricting the food supply in favor of shareholder X or Y.
"but we can make tasteless US tomatoes on even more inappropriate cropland!"
...
Great for my stock portfolio to screw over developing countries but useless for me as a first world eater of food.
No proof of existence of a benefit.
WhatIsDukkha commented on Show HN: Pipask – safer pip without compromising convenience github.com/feynmanix/pipa... · Posted by u/Feynmanix
Perhaps it's not clear from my description above, but I'm afraid the flaw is in the Python package ecosystem itself rather than pip. I'm not very familiar with uv, but from what I can tell from the documentation, it needs to execute the same steps as pip to resolve metadata, as this is required by various PEPs. (You can have a look at the diagram in the linked blog post https://medium.com/data-science-collective/pipask-know-what-...).
But I also get your point - advanced users who care about security may not be using pip. Implementing the functionality as a plugin for uv or poetry is actually the next step I'm considering, if people find the concept of pipask useful. What do you think?
I simply wouldn't use this as is but I would like it if it was a uv plugin, poetry seems like a dead end in 2025 to me.

Much of that is reasonable concern, but at least some of it is silly superstition. For instance, Germany doesn't permit the irradiation of most foods except dried herbs and spices. Irradiation is a perfectly safe way of increasing the safety and shelf life of food. Despite this, regulations on which foods if any this is permitted for vary greatly from country to country, influenced by how weirded out the uneducated public feels about it.
The alternative to radiation is mixing less poop into your meat etc.?
You understand that the majority of "food science" is designed to allow increasingly lazier and sloppier food handling and allowing it to still be palatable/not kill too many people right?
Don't fall into the "lower cost" idea either, being lazier and sloppier means higher corporate profits and not lower consumer prices (for worse food).
Compare the grass fed/ranged (produced on farms 1/10th the size of the US equivalent) BigMac in Germany versus the one you get anywhere in the US, which do you think is healthier and tastier? They are basically the same price to the consumer mysteriously...

What sort of regulation do you think should apply to germ line editing to inactivate a particular gene?
Like is a blanket ban the only reasonable approach?
European consumers seem to not want factory farms that produce such low quality food that it needs to be CRISPRed (as is the case with this story) just to be kept alive long enough.
I also am in that camp, I don't want to eat pork raised in unsanitary conditions and then sold to me at top dollar (because lying/obscuring about sourcing).

First we wanted to be able to do calculations really quickly, so we built computers.
Then we wanted the computers to reason like humans, so we built LLMs.
Now we want the LLMs to do calculations really quickly.
It doesn't seem like we'll ever be satisfied.
Ask the LLM what calculations you might or should do (and how you might implement and test those calculations) is pretty wildly useful.
With guix I can bit for bit reproduce with my client machine the upstream binaries.
This seems flawed to assume that google's servers are uncompromised, its vastly better to have distributed ability to reproduce.
