Fellow Italian here: in Sardinia consumption of seafood is not particularly higher than the Italian average, certainly not higher than South Italy (i.e. from Rome downwards) especially Sicily or Naples area.

In Sardinia they eat a lot of blue fish (or oily fish), not surprisingly the European pilchard also called "sardine" of the genus "Sardine" has a very similar name to "Sardinia".

According to some recent study Aristotle himself named the fish after the population of Sardinia Island that were the first ones to trade it in ancient Mediterranean markets (looks like the most popular way to prepare it was in salt, as we still do nowadays).

But that's probably not why they are a "blue zone", an important difference is the kind of meat they eat: there is an abundance of sheep meat but much less beef red meat.

But that's probably no it either, Sardinians have genetic markups that protects them from entire classes of diseases, being a quite homogeneous population from the DNA point of view, they passed them on from a generation to the next.
Developers can and should test their code in a high-fidelity simulator for some configurations–limiting myself to just Apple platforms, I certainly don't have every Mac, iPhone, or Apple Watch in every combination of versions in front of me. I shipped support for iPhone X and Apple Watch Series 4 without having either of those devices on hand–for the latter, as you probably know, without even recompiling it. None of my personal Macs have a Touch Bar, but that hasn't stopped me from writing code for it.

It's completely fair–actually, it should be expected–that extensions targeting standardized APIs should function correctly regardless of platform. If you're coming from a position of trying to incentivize people who largely don't care about a tiny, strange platform to begin with, locking them out entirely based on hardware requirements is frankly about the worst thing you could do to drive adoption.

Its direct competition to Rocket Labs, it really has little to do with Blue Origin. Blue Origin is interested in big rockets and sub orbital. SpaceX doesn't even play the same sport.

Virgin Orbit has an interesting concept but they have invested gigantic amounts of money compared to their small launch competition. Its hard for me to see how they would ever be profitable.

Getting to Orbit is hard, but as RocketLab learned, going from there to mass production and costumer payload integration is very challenging. That said, VO already has way more people then RocketLab did when the company reached Orbit.
>It's only has multi-cursor support and tabs (tabs!!) for a couple of years.

It has had tabs since forever. As for multi-cursor support, that only got really popular in the past few years (first on Sublime Text iirc).
Julia is simply a _much_ nicer to write lang than Python, it is more functional and it provides the user with far more ways to be expressive. I think the JIT warmup is less of an issue than its overall memory use but I can see that the former is more apparent to the average user sitting at their terminal.

I wish we would see a larger fraction of the energy invested into propagating the 'Pythonic' approach were _properly_ redirected into improving relevant aspects of Julia.
Fun, but seems extremely limited. I can't see a way to bootstrap a yield curve for interest rates, which is the first thing i would need to do. The standard model for curves seems to bake in assumptions about day count convention and interpolation:

> Can one join many instances and, if so, does that mean what you post in one instance is not seen on others? Or does everything you do show up on your profile?

You can be registered on different instances, but they're all different accounts. The Fediverse "only" allows instances to share content with each other.

> This part confused me a bit. Can anyone ELI5?

If Mastodon instances A and B are connected through the Fediverse, you can _read_ content posted on B if you're registered on A.

The best analogy I've seen is to consider Fediverse servers like e-mail servers. You can post an e-mail from a server only if you have an account on it, but you can receive e-mails from any server.
I don't really distinguish, there are technical differences but it's not as though one is ok and the other is not. Would a religion-ist ban really be any more acceptable? Either you accept that each person should be treated equally as individuals irrespective of such characteristics, or you don't.

Neo-Nazis are not targeted under the law for being Neo-Nazis. They are targeted for individual criminal acts they perform personally, or conspire to perform together. Some small groups have been outlawed in some countries, but only in the same way that criminal gangs such as the Mafia or other terrorist organisations are targeted. That is in no way comparable to targeting "Muslims".

The mistake you are making is to conflate the criminal act with the motivation for that act. Setting a bomb or shooting someone because you are a Neo-Nazi does not mean that if someone prosecutes you they are doing so because you are a Neo-Nazi. They are doing it because of the bomb or the shooting.

This is the mistake the MAGA crowd on the Capitol were making when they were surprised and shocked that the police didn't come over to their side. It's a characteristic of racism that it conflates group identity with individual identity, and it's also why I am vehemently opposed to far left identity politics which makes exactly the same mistake.

They may be on opposite sides of the political spectrum, but wing nuts generally are susceptible to the same cognitive failure modes.

No, because it's offers one of the most consistent UX. It's far from perfect, but Apple manages to make this happen on both iOS/OSX.
First Go needs to offer comparable stacks to .NET and Java offerings, not only their platforms languages, but also their guest ones.

And yes, there are ways to AOT compile as well.
That's because every instance has their own rules. Many instances disallow for NSFW content, but that doesn't mean that that content is censored. It's just blocked on that instance. If you don't like those rules, you can switch to another instance.
Sure, but we're explicitly talking about OpenAI here.

The premise is true, but the conclusion is not necessarily true. The crap store and the iOSication of the Mac have really hurt the Mac software market.

There's a specific part of Thinking, Fast And Slow that addresses this exact point - consciously or not, you're also probably reducing the bias you'd give to subsequent answers from each student.
On what time scale? Julia is really nice lang. but it will take decades for it to put a serious dent in Python. If web side of things matures fast and someone builds a killer framework it might carve out a niche there too.
Except when Python fails, the option is to write C, in Julia I can carry on writing Julia.
I had the non-LTE 3rd generation, and actually found it rather pointless in general. It was far easier to just use my phone. The only thing that was useful was the heart-rate monitor, but I could easily live without it.

Perhaps the latest gen with LTE and all the other health functions would make it useful, but I'm very hesitant to give it another try.

I don't know where people got the idea that companies can be "sincere." Sincerity is faithfully communicating your mental state to others. A company's mental state can change on a dime based on the decisionmaking of people who rely on the company for the degree of profit it generates. Any analog to sincerity that you think you see can probably be eliminated by firing one person after an exceptionally bad quarter (or an exceptionally good one.)

From my understanding of the proposal, they want the social media platforms (above a certain amount of connections) to be regulated like the TV is regulated: by the CSA (Audio Visual Concil).

They also force the TOS to precisely explain how and when they can ban/suspend an account, give all the details about a ban/suspension, and provide a mean to appeal.

They also have to appoint a contact for all legal matters with the government.

This proposal is an amendment for the law against separatism that is currently reviewed at the lower house.

Basis as a system works with multiple passive, continuous inputs. The goal is to help you track your health without thinking about tracking your health - where many people fail. So to use Basis today (get the minimum benefit) you would need to use a glucose tracking biosensor (that we provide) and have an activity tracking wearable (e.g. Apple Watch, Oura ring, etc). It’s possible to use Basis with your own continuous glucose sensor (if you are diabetic let’s say) and already get those regularly. Depending on the peripherals/wearables you have you could also feed your water intake and temperature in the data as well.

For the Pfizer vaccine, once a vial is mixed with the diluent, there is a 6 hour window to use the 6 doses in it. Shouldn't be creating a huge amount of waste because of that, but it isn't unreasonable to expect that more than 1 vial would be prepared at a given time.

I'm interested in your experience here, have you found that you were able to switch context more effectively with practise?

My own experience is different: when I'm in an environment where I am being constantly switched, I find myself tending to tasks that require less mental effort in anticipation of the switch. It's a death spiral for me and not something I'd like to practise.

Agreed on error handling actually. It doesn't quite have the feel that it should in a modern language. I think error handling and lifetimes/mutability are two of the top things we're looking at for a fundamental remodel in 2.0.
What is your automated deployment pipeline for this kind of website?
Personally I hope that the old "news industry" would just die already and be replaced by walled-off subscription services, like Netflix, specializing in different kinds of content.

A monolithic "news paper" covering different areas like sports, science, politics, what's on TV today, weather and so on is not optimal in the 21:st century because distribution is easier.

I'd then have subscriptions to services specializing in different kinds of content depending on interest. Because these services do not compete with free, they could spend more time on the articles and less time on hyperbole, polarization and anger - three tools that are great for growth and engagement, but detrimental to society.

Unfortunately "Buy it for life" is not an achievable slogan.

Buy it for life products are low-tech products that survived, somehow, time. Often, their original producers didn't and we can only buy them in used condition. They are slightly obsolete and not everybody is fullfilled with them. E.g. An old Toyota.

Then there are "Buy it for life" products with a (more or less) guaranteed long lifespan but were not time tested yet. E.g. New gear built using best practices and materials.

Then there are good products. Stuff with a (more or less) guaranteed long lifespan but one day will become obsolete. E.g. Apple product, good shoes, etc.

The way it works is if you don't have the answer, you collect what you can know and move with that. Also C/C++ means you need a linter, a code review process, VAs, and potential exposure to FOSS libraries.

This method is mainly for building things, but if they are legacy, the information should be available as well.
The top level answer of "nobody understands this," is pretty much the most important thing you need to know from a security perspective.

It is funny, but it's funny because it's true and important.
I think your "ecosystem of python libraries" is the key point. Python got a lot of mileage for a mass adoption from ML. Its libraries provided an "easy ML" for masses at the time ML got popular in science and job market, which quickly brought it into mainstream and built up its network effect.

I don't necessarily see the "team of automated googlers" as a fundamental or damning problem with GPT-like approaches. First I think people may have a lot fewer truly original ideas then they are willing to admit. Original thought is sought after and celebrated in arts as a rare commodity. But unlike in arts, where there are almost not constraints, when it comes to science or engineering almost every incremental step is of form Y = Fn(X0,..,Xn) where X0..Xn are widely known and proven to be true. With sufficient logical reasoning and/or experimental data, after numerous peer reviews, we can accept Fn(...) to be a valid transform and Y becomes Xn+1, etc. Before internet or Google one had to go to a library and read books and magazines, or ask other people to find inputs from which new ideas could be synthesized. I think GPT-like stuff is a small step towards automating and speeding up this general synthesis process in the post-Google world.

But if we are looking to replace end-to-end intelligence at scale it's not just about synthesis. We need to also automate the peer review process so that it's bandwidth is matched to increased rate of synthesis. Most good researchers and engineers are able to self-critique their work (and the degree to which they can do that well is really what makes one good IMHO). And then we rely on our colleagues and peers to review our work and form a consensus on its quality. Currently GPT-like systems can easily overwhelm humans with such peer review requests. Even if a model is capable of writing the next great literary work, predicting exactly what happened on Jan 6, or formulating new laws of physics the sheer amount of crap it will produce alongside makes it very unlikely that anyone will notice.
I'm expecting somebody to add them to LLVM soon. I'd talked to folks at Apple about that some time back, but they weren't able to tell me at the time what their plans were for adding it. That said, I am fully expecting them to just add it to LLVM themselves. If not, somebody in the community will do it. Once that's done, Julia will just pick it up.
Bitcoin Redenomination Proposal
Was the news industry broken by Facebook and Google, or was it broken by the lack of regulation? In my country, actual publishers are accountable for what they report, and as such, they tend to be better sources than what you'll find on platforms that aren't regulated. This is why you're not going to find anti-vax pseudo science in a Danish news paper, but you may find it among instagram influencers or in Facebook groups.

Which is the real issue. As long as we don't hold people with a public voice accountable for what they say, or regulate the platforms which allow those voices to reach billions, then we're going to be in trouble. Making Google or Facebook share some of what they earn with the news industry isn't going to change that.

And why wouldn't we hold instagram influencers to the same editorial standards that we did national news papers, when those influencers have more reach? Free speech simply doesn't work without responsibility, and neither does democracy.

It's completely insane that we now live in a world where we have to take science deniers seriously, and it's frankly going to ruin us. Because people aren't only spreading nonsense on social media to get rich, or because they like the attention, there are anti-democratic governments who are using our own unregulated platforms against us, in coordinated attempts to destroy western civilization.

So if you want to save the news industry, don't just make Google, Facebook and every other social media platform that hides behind their own users, pay up, make them responsible for the content that they allow onto their platforms exactly like we made the news industry responsible for what they print.
> Why is Israel doing better than everyone else at Covid vaccinations?

Is Israel doing better than everyone else? It depends on what you measure, and where you measure it.

Israel is obligated by the terms of the Fourth Geneva Convention to ensure medical supplies, including those required to combat the spread of pandemics, are provided to Palestinians in the territories Israel has occupied for more than 50 years.

Israeli authorities claim that responsibility for vaccinating this population, under the Oslo Accords, falls on the Palestinian Authority. Israel’s Health Minister told Sky News that “they have to learn how to take care of themselves” and that “I don't think that there's anyone in this country, whatever his or her views might be, that can imagine that I would be taking a vaccine from the Israeli citizen, and, with all the good will, give it to our neighbors.”
