You know what was released on the #InternetArchive yesterday?
Johannes Grenzfurthner‘s documentary movie “Hacking at Leaves” about US history and the racism that built it, the Navajo Nation, hackerspaces and hacker culture, COVID-19, and much more.
It’s now free to watch, share, and talk about!
Oh, Hacker News…FFS. Something got lost in the sad game of Popular Press Telephone between the actual study and this snotty post.
The actual study is here:
https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/ANNALS-25-00577
It notes that:
1. Most research on air cleaning devices used air samples, not human health outcomes. (It’s far more difficult to conduct a study on the latter.)
2. Not many people are studying whether e.g. UV air purifiers create toxic byproducts.
3. The available studies sure do measure a whole bunch of different things, and wouldn’t it be nice if they had more consistent standards.
Their main recommendation is basically “scientists should do more studies where they measure infection in humans, not just germs in the air.” And that’s fair: It’s reasonable to •guess• that fewer germs in the air means less sickness, but it’s nice to actually •test• that!
However, AFAICT, nothing in the study warrants the “tinfoil hats” remark. Unlike a tinfoil hats, we have plenty good reason to think at least some of these devices actually work; the paper just wants the research to go deeper. It’s one giant “further study needed.” https://mastodon.social/@ngate/115091700894746240
Let me rephrase that: this video is fucking awesome and anyone in the US should watch at least the beginning, and my hacker comrades should watch to the end, clone the repo, and have some fun....
