MRI is much lower resolution than X-ray. Dental researchers are speculating about using MRI for some uses, like implant planning, but the laws of physics are not in favor of reducing the voxel size to match the small features identified with X-rays.

My dentist just upgraded their gear, the tech no longer leaves the room when shooting the image, and I didn't get a lead blanket. Presumably that means the technology improved again and the total X-ray energy went down.

This paper isn’t making an argument. It’s summarizing specialized research.

A specialist in the area could just say “appeal to authority” and they’d be right. The actual peer reviewed articles and books would require evidence.

But those articles and books wouldn’t be accessible to the average reader.

So the journalist is summarizing those arguments, but in the process reducing them to an appeal to authority - which is completely fine.

There is something that already exists that's free. Multi day fasting to induce autophagy. It's not pleasant or as convenient as getting a shot/taking pills but it's been perfected over the last couple of million years with no side affects except discomfort. You might also try adding a dose of exercise (more discomfort) and cutting out things like Fructose (20% of the American diet) completely.

You made the mistake of thinking an app's functionality is it's purpose. The functionality is just a thin veneer of an excuse the devs use to track your every moment. Why would you think otherwise?

Even if it cost money to install, you are just paying for the privilege of being tracked by those folks instead of others.

Full disclosure: I've only toyed with it so far.

That said: What I have seen seems extremely interesting, both the audited standard library and the permission model, the built in support for TypeScript, single binary runtime and the avoidance of a single package repo.

Good luck with your next personal project. I guess now might be a perfect time to invest in learning Deno. It might not take of, but if it doesn't it will probably make me a little sad when I realize it, and I am a Java man (although I enjoy a number of other languages as well).
Tesla FSD progress over the past 12 months
I just skimmed videos of drivers testing different versions of Tesla FSD over the past year. Progress over the past 12 months has been... much more significant than I had realized until now.

The number of edge cases that trip up Tesla FSD keeps getting smaller and smaller, and the software keeps getting better and better at failing gracefully, asking the driver in advance to take over in fewer and fewer outlier edge cases.

Progress has been so significant that I've changed my mind about Tesla FSD's prospects. I now think that in the not too distant future it's possible that Tesla FSD will become safe enough for me. It's not 100% certain, but it sure seems possible now.

I work with a company that contributes to some open source but most of the code is closed-source.
I feel that the reason many enterprises pay for the software is that when there's an exotic bug that only happens with LDAP with a certain cypher being used, they know it will get fixed (because it's funded by support/maintenance fees).
While there may be exceptions, I just don't see OSS contributors going out of their way to fix such edge cases.
So perhaps the solution for some open source project issues might be to not-opensource it.

Not trying to be bring you down or anything, but the most likely answer is that every senior engineer in the company knows what needs to be done but lacks the political capital/will/etc to implement the change.

I think that this might not be the comment that you are looking for but have you tried Visual Basic.net. C# has grown into a multi platform , multi runtime language that can be used to build apps on all version of Windows from 7 to 11, Linux and Mac OS. But if you still want to make apps that only run on Windows machines and uses still supported Windows Forms- then VB.Net might be just what you are looking for. It still ships with Visual Studio and let’s you build multi windows, database centric applications.

It's been years since I fooled around with .NET but the book I used (Microsoft .Net for Programmers by Grimes) started out with writing C# code in Notepad (or other editor of choice) and compiling with csc.exe on the command line. It would be sad if that sort of very simple use case is no longer supported, as it's always been the best way for me to learn and understand what is happening.
I do not really know. I heard that it's generally perceived as a good option, but I don't know if any teams are actively using it for any missions.

My suspicion is that once it's generally accepted as part of the kernel, things may change.

If the rust community wants rust to be used in safety-critical, my personal view is that they need to prioritize robustness and stability of the rust ecosystem as a whole over frequent changes to the language or libraries to save 1-2 lines of code.

Breaking changes to APIs and tool changes are a big issue in general, so they are best avoided (almost every time some introduces a breaking change that we are forced to adopt, we have to spend thousands of dollars (in time) to adapt). It's best to take longer to release a tool, but when you do it, make sure it'll work for a long time.

We recently had this case with a tool and our project was delayed by several weeks because someone replaced a version of a tool in homebrew that introduced a breaking change. We hit multiple bugs during the upgrade.

A mission that flies won't depend on homebrew, but it would be very plausible for a bug to be fixed in a version that pulls a dependency with a higher version number, and for it to be impossible or impractical to upgrade only one or two packages. In particular (and I don't "speak" rust), if your compiler comes with core libraries that necessarily need a version of the compiler to work, you want those to be de-coupled and the core API not to change.

Please be aware that this is just my personal opinion. I don't speak on behalf of any agencies.
The Headline here buries the key findings:

> A _two-shot_ course of Pfizer Inc.’s vaccine has just 22.5% efficacy against symptomatic infection with the omicron variant, _but can thwart severe disease_

and

> boosters from AstraZeneca Plc and Pfizer/BioNTech SE improve protection against the omicron variant to as much as 75% in the early days after the shot

There is also no reason to suppose that two doses, given a few weeks apart, are going to be a gold standard. Is a third shot a "booster" if it's a normal requirement?

"Two shots, and done in 3 months" is not what happens with routine UK childhood vaccinations against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio. (1)

No, the "two jabs at short intervals" course was taken because the metaphorical house was on fire and needed damping _as soon as possible_, rather than a consideration for what gave long-term optimal protection. That will come in time.

It could happen that they use said information to create/push a narrative away from the truth, on purpose, for money.

Example, employee A with an average performance starts talking to their peers about unionizing. Board finds out about that and they want the employee out ASAP, so they call one of their HR servants to run the errand.

HR starts compiling trivial stuff about said employee (like "average distance traveled by your mouse pointer during work" /s) and when that's enough they set up a case to let go said employee because of "performance reasons" or whatever.

It has everything to do with the language. With no built-in module support (until recently!) and a weak type system, it's virtually impossible for Javascript to get anywhere near the stability of Java.

The thing about severe weather is you can tell when it's happening. Tornadoes don't typically drop out of the clear blue sky. If it's a heavy thunderstorm and the weather forecast for the day calls for torando watches then keep the radio on and nearby. This doesn't have to be complicated.

For sure. Driving on a test track is a technical problem. Driving in traffic is a social problem. As you noted, how one drives in traffic is not just about getting somewhere, but about communicating and negotiating with other drivers around you.

Marin county is the 6th-richest county in the U.S. Yet, it has locked itself into the same infrastructure spending death spiral that so many other places have initiated, by having roads all over the place going nowhere, and no growth in existing urbanized areas to increase revenue and amortize the cost of road maintenance.
Along this vein, let’s have some sort of visual indicator on the car when it’s self driving, maybe a green light on the front/back the same way that we flag learners. That way other drivers can be extra cautious when in the vicinity.

I’m not sure this would have helped the Tesla that steered into oncoming traffic. Luckily for the other driver the Tesla driver reacted and crashed off on the other direction. If he hadn’t done that I don’t think the other driver would have had the time to react even if he was aware of the danger the Tesla posed.
