You could compare the relative performance of US states for an even better comparator, eg Florida and Texas. I know they are in the news now, but they’ve been open all year and performed better than many more restricted states.

Sweden is apparently much more dense in the cities, has larger cities, bigger migrant population etc so apparently making comparisons across Scandinavia isn’t as helpful as you would expect.

Same here. For many years, a MacBook Air 11 was my daily driver. After some time, I wiped up Mac OS X and I ran a minimal Linux configuration: XMonad, Emacs, Firefox and XTerm.

With a few tweaks, mostly those suggested by powertop, my battery range was indistinguishable from Mac OS. Which is impressive, given that Safari is known to be very optimized towards low energy usage. I guess I compensated that with a simpler graphics stack that generated less CPU wakeups.

A scorpion enlists a frog to take him on his back across a stream, even though the frog is astute enough to protest that the scorpion "will surely sting me, and I will die." The scorpion points out that if he stings the frog, he will die too. The trusting frog thus takes on his passenger, is stung by him, and the two creatures drown together. But before the frog drowns, he asks, "Why did you sting me, Mr. Scorpion, even though it costs us both our lives?" to which the Scorpion replies, acceptingly, "It is my nature."

That's what is typically meant by "decriminalization".

Unfortunately decriminalization is only a bad half-solution and all of those who profit off of both sides of the drug war will continue to exist, as will the inconsistent, contaminated, or mislabeled doses that are most fatal.
It is absolutely imperative that we legalize nearly all recreational drugs along with regulatory measures to ensure that these medications are available OTC as standardized individually-packaged doses.

The minimization of harm from drug abuse does also depend on broader societal factors (e.g. wealth inequality), and the transition will be complex, but there are measures to be taken that could drastically cut down on overdoses deaths in no more than a few weeks.

Rewilding death: The plan to restore the necrobiome
Did Eurisko ever have any replicable success stories?

The only success story of any kind I've heard, repeatedly, were the two Traveller tournaments. But Lenat's telling of that story is disputed by the people who were involved in that community, and doesn't make much sense in some ways. And obviously it wasn't replicable either.

So honestly my assumption for the last couple of decades has been that Eurisko was all smoke and mirrors.
After being directly involved with an organization that has systematically failed for 20 years, why do they have more credibility in this conversation than anyone else? You might as well ask petroleum engineers about climate change and the transition to renewable energy.

You’d get much better insight from asking historians or the like.

Since then they have diverged with Diet Coke sales increasing at a faster rate than classic Coke." [2018]
There are way more than "slim to none" doctors/lawyers who are at or below 100 IQ.

Your citation is not accepted (it's from nearly 30 years ago, is a sample of men over 30 in Wisconsin, cites research from many years even older [50s and 60s], there's no accounting for correlation -- maybe doing harder work makes you better at taking IQ tests).

It's only doctors, who happened to be the folks who ran the study, that are substantially higher than every other group listed. I wonder why.

IQ is a predictor of success, but it is not an exclusive predictor. Unless you have a mental disability, you can be literally anything you want to be, and even if you have a mental disability, you can still be nearly anything you want to be.

Hard work is astronomically more important than IQ. The literal article you're commenting on is written by someone with one of the highest IQs in the world.

You're in disagreement with all these "high IQ" people you think are worthy of studying other humans, and given the option, I'm going to listen to them over you.

No, amperes is the number to look at. If you just want to deliver more power on the SAME wire, you can do so by increasing the voltage. This is why a pretty thin wire can deliver power to a high speed train, or even an entire town. Trains often use voltages in the 16-50 kV range, and power lines that power entire towns can be upwards of 100 kV; at that voltage the entire town's average power might be only a handful of amps. (Heat dissipation of a resistive wire is I^2*R, not dependent on voltage.)

In the case of a CPU, higher voltages don't work with the semiconductors, so they have no choice but to use high amperes, and that becomes a problem.

The most obvious and plausible counterfactual worse result: US leaders indecisively bow to DOD/military contractor pressure and stay in Afghanistan for 20 more years of occupation, and the US continues supporting an unpopular kleptocratic puppet government, dumping more weapons into the country, lying to the US public, etc. but doesn’t make any more progress than it has in the past 20 years, a lot more Afghans and thousands more US soldiers die, another trillion dollars get diverted from more productive projects, and the eventual result – when a leader finally comes along with the courage to end the occupation – is the same.

Rather than buy some all-in-one 3D-printed camera, if you live in the United States, Graflex press cameras are relatively cheap and abundant. Expect to pay $200 with a 135mm lens, maybe a little more with a few film holders.

These things are marked by humans, and appealable (in the case of exams, if it's just homework who cares) - IME in the UK, if you write something like 'insufficient information in the question, given RVs are not independent' then you are not going to be marked down for it; if they find the question incorrect it'll likely be struck off entirely.

But more likely, everyone answers either wrong (not because they know better) or right, because they don't know to do anything but multiply them; at the stage this is a question they don't know there are dependent and independent RVs.

I agree with that, I was just objecting a bit to the tone of the original comment. IMO it's a bit of a hard sell to me to say "we're sorry, there's nothing we can do" after listing a bunch of things they did to fix this in later versions. Rather than going on and on about how it's an unfixable problem, they could have just said they have made steps to address the issue in later versions but there isn't a way to fix existing versions.
The nice thing about reducing sugar is that after a while your taste buds realize how insanely over-sweetened many products are in the US.

My current favorite example is bottled teas. When I was a kid I remember drinking Snapple, now I can't understand how I ever downed that stuff, it's like drinking syrup. If I'm lazy I'll get a bottle of unsweetened tea and mix it about 4-1 with sweetened tea. I get something that has a pleasant, natural, gently sweet taste, and even if I drink 3 of these a day I'm still getting a lot less sugar than a single glass of fully sweetened tea.
As others stated, this is really a PR piece.

The study aim was to see what the tolerable dose for a future study might be. 17 patients ranging from metastatic breast ca to unresectable colon ca were studied from 2014-2016.

Patients were given either 500, 1000, or 2000mg of what must be a truly horrible liquid to drink and then watched for adverse outcomes.

Most patients discontinued treatment due to disease progression, and patients in the 2000mg dosage group had trouble tolerating the medication.

Anyway, not to knock the study, hope things pan out, but to market this as the "achilles heel of cancer" is, well, a bit hard to swallow.

Any single agent will usually need to prove itself as somewhat efficacious on its own. Almost certainly, safety (phase 1 trial) will be tried as a single agent before trying combination therapies.

However, some of our best chemotherapy regimes are combinations of many agents, such as FOLFOX and FOLFIRI in colon cancer. But to get there was a long process.

There is an idea of synthetic lethality, where a single gene getting shut off by a drug has no effect, but combining (the synthesis part) with a second gene getting shutoff causes cell death. This is an extreme case of epistasis (my gene name), but the challenge of doing trials with this is that the search space is quadratic or worse, rather than linear. And number of people enrolled in clinical trials is an extremely valuable resource.

Which is what leads to making sure that we start with single agent trials, to prove both safety and hopefully efficacy of these single agents. The combinations come later, because they are so complex and difficult in terms of finding something with efficacy and in terms of managing side effects and adverse events.

I intend to be better. I don't know if asking someone to look at something objectively is exactly "attacking other users."

Boosting false business is not acceptable in society. It shouldn't be here. And if that offends you so much where you need to ban me, then you've proven my point exactly. As a member of society, and a member of this community, I'm frankly getting sick of watching this community boost nonsense. Remember Color? What good reason did this community have for pushing that? Why is it /still/ pushing concepts as empty as that one was in 2021? Read up on the damage that boasting bad business does to communities, families, the economy. Putting light on that is not "attacking users." Being banned, or muted on a platform that's trying to re-imagine another economic meltdown is OK by me, just in case you need to know.

If this was a MLM, we could just label it and be done with it. Instead, what we have are an increasing number of businesses with huge floors that give way under the smallest bit of scrutiny. This sort of dialog - the one where you say I'm out of line for suggesting that economic collapses begin and end on this negative feedback loop of – is – let's face it – the same sort of mentality as the economic collapse of 2008. The wall street execs that peddled garbage at society's cost - they too thought they were doing god's work. Subprime mortgages.

I wonder if there is anything to come from wireless power delivery inside chips. If the entire chip was bathed in constant RF, then bits of the chip could pick up power when and where needed via tiny antennas harvesting the RF field. It would require some very tricky control of wavelengths but might eliminate many wires. Lasers might also offer interesting possibilities for delivering power without wires.

It’s fine and dandy to ask ex-marines for their opinions, but there are plenty of credible experts who don’t have a direct stake in the same way, and those I have read have mostly suggested that a broadly similar result was predictable and inevitable at whatever point the US decided to withdraw, whether now or a decade later. Unfortunately, few if any of them have been given much air time by US media in the past few weeks, which has instead been dominated by self-serving claptrap from people who created and perpetuated this mess, and are now rushing to blame Biden for their own failures.
