As someone who has grown up in the era of forums. I have a new found appreciation for mailing lists. I did recently come across some interesting mailing list archives from the 80s https://github.com/MITDDC/cpmarchive-1979-1984/blob/main/cpm...

>In my experience, people often overestimate how much protection ventilation provides.
Do you have references to back this up that I could read? Assuming the same fan size, ventilation would act like a perfect filter and remove everything out of the room that the fan pushes, whereas a filter will allow some particles to pass and recirculate. Especially useless if it is those metal fiber filters that are in a range hood that just remove some grease.
Yes, ventilating out > recirculating no question! I just wanted to raise awareness that ventilation is not instantaneous. It takes time to bring things back to safe levels in case of spikes.
A quick search brings up the CDC guidance, where they discuss air changes per hour for a room. This will be for HVAC units, which operate on a completely different magnitude of airflow compared to a kitchen extractor fan.

This also matches my experience in industrial applications, you only need a single failure point such as a spill or a large enough leak and ventilation alone is no longer enough to keep people safe. This is why it's worth considering a glove box/isolator. You could make the argument that a glove box can also leak and I'm starting to sound like a safety engineer. Anyway at home either will be fine with outside ventilation being superior if done right.

> Something weird though is that turning on my extractor fan didn’t really do much.
Does your extractor fan vent to the outside, or just recirculate through a filter? In my experience, people often overestimate how much protection ventilation provides. It mostly dilutes contaminants rather than removing or isolating them. For example, with moderately hazardous compounds, a fume hood works fine under normal use, but in the event of a spill it can’t bring levels back down quickly enough to protect the operator. In that kind of situation, an isolator makes far more sense or adding PPE, though that can be burdensome.
What really surprised me is how high the values get from just a single pan. It makes me wonder what it’s like in a commercial kitchen with multiple pans at higher temperatures, especially if the extractor fan fails and there’s no time to shut down operations to fix it.
Precursor to full acquisition perhaps...also maybe Jensen play to Trump a bit in this.
If there’s a time to do it, now would be the time with the current administration looking at all the regulatory blowback.
This has been an interesting 1.5 months for Intel on all fronts. I wonder how long this deal was in the making, since the timing is impeccable, looking at the current administration's involvement with Intel.

What comes to mind is the MIT team that recently used genAI to design novel antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria.
If the agents get access to the right data (tsunamis) already out there, why not?
This could start with conducting highly detailed data reviews to test or refine specific new or existing hypotheses.
