> Is there evidence for that mating could only occurr "to an extent," like with horses and donkeys?

I am not sure what "to an extent" really means in this context, but modern-day Europeans and Asians have some distinctly Neanderthal and/or Denisovan genes. So, unlike mules, the children of (anthropologically modern) humans and Neanderthals were able to reproduce.

In particular this has led some biologists to a rethinking of the Homo sapiens species as being many different (mostly extinct) subspecies:

- Homo sapiens neanderthalis

- Homo sapiens denisovan

- Homo sapiens idaltu [1]

- Homo sapiens sapiens (all currently living humans)

An important disclaimer, as without context this stuff comes uncomfortably close to racist pseudoscience: compared to every other living species of primate, there is vastly less genetic variation among humans. This is despite the fact that there are far more humans than there are chimpanzees, gorillas, etc. Among the common chimpanzee there are many different subspecies, with distinct genomes. Chimpanzee subspecies are physiologically capable of cross-reproducing, but have intense social barriers that prevents it from happening in the wild (except in cases of rape).

By contrast, modern humans only have one subspecies: Homo sapiens sapiens. Genetic differences between human groups are extremely subtle compared to chimpanzees, despite greater physical variation, and even the most bitter ethnic conflicts are nothing like the ancient socio-biological barriers found in chimps (they are transient on a biological timescale, and individual social/sexual relationships can still survive and flourish). So the ancient world of modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans should really be seen as an ancient world with a variety of Homo sapiens subspecies, in an era where are genome was as variable and chaotic as the modern chimpanzee.

What specifically happened to the Neanderthals and Denisovans is an open question, though their minimal contribution to European and Asian genomes suggests they weren't around very long as a distinct subspecies once modern humans came over from Africa. So, going back to "to an extent" - the children of modern humans and Neanderthal were biologically successful from the perspective of Charles Darwin, but a culturally disastrous from the perspective of a Neanderthals.

My favorite dive is in that category, a goth industrial club in a former hole in the wall burger joint. The front is retro diner, the dance hall is cramped, filled with psychedelic art, and sports three giant paper maché tentacles emerging from an octopus mural from an undersea theme night five years back. The alley where everyone smokes is covered in graffiti. The sound system has gremlins and the speakers distort, arguably improving the harsh industrial tracks. It's the most welcoming place in the whole city (except for that one time a volatile neo-nazi showed up - he got literally thrown out the door, we don't tolerate intolerance). Ultra LGBTQ friendly.

I have no idea how they stayed afloat during the best of times and I'm not sure it's going to open up once covid is gone. But the community itself has been around since the 70s, hopping from one seedy joint to the next as they got shuttered, demolished, turned into swanky gastropubs and hospital parking lots. Something will arise from the ashes.
The UKs friends in Europe have decided to treat the UK more like an adversary than a typical third party.
So certainly the EU is also to blame.
I agree wholeheartedly, but not so much with OP's second part trying to speculate over a cause.

I don't know what you mean as normal adolescent destruction. My brother was not destructive nor were my friends. Adolescent sons of my colleagues are not destructive. I know that troubled teens exists, but I also know that many of them are actually decent people.

Most toddler destruction is cluelessness and the same toddler is sad and compassionate in other situations. Physically active toddler boys are noisy which is tiring, but they are also sweet and trying their best.

And all of that is irrelevant to effect from article, which manifest only in immigrant fathers and first born female child. And the effect is small.

So the divorce effect is likely way more about clash between cultural expectations of foreign born dads then about how horrible either boys or girls are.

One correction to my own post: when you go from level to climbing flight, the primary cause of the increase in the forces opposing thrust is that the weight vector now has a component opposing it. That's how it is for cars, and anything else moving on land, as well. Gliders maintain airspeed because their weight has a component opposing drag, which is how it is for things rolling downhill, as well.
I don’t think the U.S. has those shared beliefs anymore. We did, but now we’re just a shopping mall built on the grave of a country & the elites that did it have us blaming each other instead of them.
>Right now, covid is the leading cause of death. It wasn't the case in 2020, but now, it is.

Are you implying you think covid will kill more americans than heart disease in 2021 based on this incomplete data set?

>>How many people even knows what chance it is they will die this year?

>That question is meaningless.

It is not meaningless for people who care to take personal responsibility for their own health, and who want to make informed decisions based on a data driven risk analysis.

However, most Americans do not care to take personal responsibility for their health, so you're right that such people are not concerned with such information.
Yup. Tried gummies and hemp cigarettes both. I thought the hemp cigs helped the back pain a bit, but not so much the joint pain. The effect was small enough that it wasn't worth the money to keep doing it. We get much more mileage out of stretching and tiger balm- especially the back patches and arthritis lotion formulations.
Haven't seen anyone mention that "-" is not a function at all. it is a symbol. A symbol which bound to the function which does subtraction.

Users are free to redefine it outright, or to redefine it it multiple ways in different scopes of their application. (Not sure how wise this would be, but not really the point ...)

Not to be offensive, but the question as written seems to imply looking at lisp from preconcieved notions from other languages that probably don't make sense to carry over in understanding lisp.
Covid-19 and Global Income Inequality
I don't find it implicit and feel it has a tinge of hubris. Too much is reported as fact, and taken as such, when it's just a best guess.

Not a BREXITer but the libdems are putting way too much trust in the EU. This can potentially backfire in the recent future when the EU does not perform as well as it should.

When you actually look at the metrics you do not actually see the EU as a whole performing better than the UK and definitely worse than the US and Australia.
For context, this was what Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said when he was asked about business concerns over Brexit.

It’s certainly going to seem that way when your economy is shut down and there isn’t government assistance making up the difference.
Maybe the GP threw the wrong buzzword and meant AI instead of ML.
Was it discovered, meaning that the indigenous population didn't know about it, doesn't have a name for it, cannot tell you anything about it, or meaning that it will now be introduced in a formal taxonomy?
Opinion polling was most people wanted Brexit over with. They were fed up of hearing about it. It just wasn't explained to them the fastest way for that was to remain. Which if one major party took that anti Brexit stance and went hard with how long Brexit would remain a theme for they would done well. That's why the tories stance was get Brexit done. Which considering they're still trying to negotiate after the deadline and a deal was done tells you how much of that was a lie.
True to layman form, I can't help but relate this subject to previously consumed media that cover the same subject, so I'll mention them here:

And for anyone seeking a more visceral experience of the existential horror of "vast latent spaces," I recommend listening to the Gorillaz album Humanz with the assumption that it's not so much about bangers and partying as it is about AI, virtual reality, and future shock. Saturnz Barz, Let Me Out, Carnival, Sex Murder Party, and She's My Collar especially.

Toyota Mirai 2 curb weight 1925 kg vs Tesla P100 curb weight 2241 kg. Both have the range of 500 to 507 km. But with a Mirai, given that the infra for filling up would exist, I’d spend 5 minutes filling up instead of 40 at a charging station. My math is okay.

Yeah, I have dozens of those around. But you know what, more battery cars also need those so it’s not like we will be removing these soon.
Note that the default port for SOCKS(5) is 1080, and the de facto standard for (forward) web proxies (e.g., Squid) is 3128, so one may want to make of habit of using one of those ports.

> While some pople are still 100% for a hard brexit, I don't think the majority of the nation even wanted to leave the EU 3 years after the vote.

There was a referendum in 2016 and a general election in 2019 which the Conservatives won in a landslide. The notion that there was a major swing in opinion in that timeframe is simply absurd. Pro-Brexit political parties don't win landslide victories in such circumstances.
I said “pretty much everyone”, not “absolutely everyone, with zero exceptions”.

To someone who isn't immersed in the Lisp world, Lisp syntax often looks ((((something (like) this) and) seems)) utterly impenetrable compared to a more 'conventional' syntax. It's the reason for the snarky backronym, Lost In a Sea of Parentheses.

Forth, another language with a spartan approach to syntax, gets similar criticism.
Me too, however, are we just crazy and hurting ourselves to achieve a highly lauded place in our world? Are you filled with the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament?
The charts are confusing. When visiting example.com, adblockers are worse on all metrics but then in the Adblock section they visit a different page which makes the general extension evaluation suspect since it’s evaluated only on example.com and not more representative page. I would do it on the top websites and create a composite score (and perhaps a separate score for example.con style pages that are unlikely to have complex content).

That would let you understand the impact of these extensions on different website types.

Another issue with the methodology is the lack of any combination of extensions, although they may not have the data to build the experiment for that. The assumption one might make is that these extensions stack up but I could imagine there could be non-linear effects combining extensions (unless there’s prior research indicating it is linear in all or almost all cases?).

Overall though it’s an impressive undertaking. Kudos to the author.
Regarding medical AI, those guys are pretty much the only ones who seem to have understood what ML can bring to the table TODAY. And that's not even really ML, just logic programming:

All the rest I've seen (which is quite a lot) is almost totally fluff, including results obtained in medical imaging.

Really, the problem with medical AI is not on the ML tech side. It's that ML peeps mostly don't understand the clinical system, so they focus on the wrong priorities and produce impressive yet completely useless appliances. Take that from a clinician.

The problem is not administering one vaccine. If you were pretty sure which one to use you could take a gamble- which is exactly what we have done with early auth of the Moderna and Pfizer!

The idea that the pandemic is bad because of failures of individuals to follow mandates or whatever and not a failure of government policy is idiotic.

I disagree entirely. Some sets are completely known and others are not.

For example, the youngest American president is accurate as we know all of the American presidents.

While, we are discovering thousands of new species every year.

It is important to remind people of this fact of species being an unknown set size.
I find Lisp to be at least as readable as anything else, and much more readable than C++. The syntax is different from other languages but that is not a problem once you are comfortable with Lisp syntax. Lisp syntax and semantics almost always mean that there is less need to work around annoying and brittle aspects of the language, and so the code you are reading tends to be more relevant.
Ease of use and general satisfaction: Debian.
Extremely lean, customizable system: Arch.

Honestly anything Linux works for me as long as I can figure out how to get it to work the way I like it.

>On the question of a "more clunky way", how come 10 years after Flash was banned, despite improvements in hardware performance, HTML/JS capabilities and development tools have not evolved to surpass Flash?

That's not true. JavaScript is still a terrible language, but if you're building a full-fledged web application, you're going to be writing it in TypeScript or Dart - and those languages are much better than AS3, and they do have sophisticated tooling.

In terms of performance, I would say that as of maybe 3-4 years ago HTML/CSS/JavaScript surpassed Flash in every browser outside of IE (IE JavaScript performance is dog-shit, and Flash is still king there).

So if you're building what was traditional known as a RIA or even a game, the HTML/CSS/JS front-end stack is much more comprehensive than Flash/AS3/Flex. I say that as someone who was a fan of Flash, and who wrote hundreds of thousands of lines of code in AS3. Our company also leveraged alchemy/FlasCC for performance as well - which was transitioned to asm.js/WebAssembly (another way that Flash was really ahead of its time). Stage3D is easily replaced by WebGL. We're actually using a dart framework called StageXL, which mimics the Flash display list API because Flash display list (API and implementation) was really sophisticated for building vector animation-based apps (games or UIs).

I can't speak to the traditional use-case of Flash providing a WYSIWYG editor for creating vector animation and how that looks like in HTML, but I think people just prefer video now because vector animation can't be hosted on YouTube and can't be monetized in the same way. So sadly, the 'vector animation culture' became 'YouTube video content culture'

>Could that be because the companies that control the apps stores are the same ones in charge of the HTML/JS standards, and even neglect to implement some of the standards when they might make games and animation development "less clunky"?

No. For one thing, it was the app store companies, like Google, and Apple, that drove the exponential improvements in HTML/CSS/JS ecosystem to make it viable. In fact, companies like Google are still pushing these standards forward and increasing the capabilities of browsers.

I think you will agree that there is nothing that can be done in Flash today, that couldn't be done in HTML/CSS/JavaScript. The reverse isn't necessarily true.

One last bit, I don't know if you remember but there was a brief period in which Adobe attempted to monetize flash. They actually wanted a license fee for the right to use the high-performance opcodes (as provided by alchemy/FlasCC) without even providing something like an app-store. They backtracked pretty quick because it was an idiotic move.

This says more about the eMAG than the M1, to be honest :D The APM X-Gene derived cores in the eMAG are far behind current cores from everyone else. The new Ampere Altra is using stock Arm Neoverse cores. (Which makes me wonder if all they got out of the APM acquisition was just one dead-end generation of product…)

> Is this fixed in either FreeBSD or Qemu at this point?

Not in FreeBSD for sure, as an obsessive commit watcher I can say I haven't seen any M1 quirks land.

> 2 different instructions on ARM to say "i'm idle, wake me up if something happens" (like x86 mwait), and Apple M1 uses one, while everybody else uses the other

Everybody should use both in different circumstances:

Collabora is ~$18/user/year so not bad. CIB may have pricing available in another browser, but in Firefox Focus all it has is an unclosable dialog about cookies in German.
Yeah I’m always really sad it doesn’t make it into the MTGO cube.
The idea that any such tool wasn’t designed primarily as a weapon first is disinformation in and of itself.
The fundamental problem with this article is that it restricts it's analysis to a model composed of a single neural network. Any "general intelligence" will undoubtedly come from a complex of neural networks, much like the human brain. I would argue on that front we are closer than the article implies.

Look no further than the derivatives of AlphaGo. Playing such games is a form of generalizable reasoning.
This isn't a cynical comment, it's just nonsensical in this context.

It's like replying "it's more profitable this way" to "why are chopsticks popular in asian culture".

Interesting discussion about “smallest” depend on how size is measured:
“ As a result, whether or not the new species is considered the smallest amniote in the world depends on whether we define that based on the male or female body size, or the midpoint of the two. It turns out this is quite a common problem in other species with size dimorphism as well, such as frogs.”
