How do you jump from ”pure anecdotal evidence” to ”reduction of the GDP”?

This just seems too close to racist theories about why the north hemisphere is richer than the south.

A lot of people confirming with anecdotes in the comments. Consider that any drastic temperature changes affect humans. Until they adapt. So I bet all this confirming anecdotes are from people used to lower temperatures facing, occasionally, higher temperatures. The opposite happens as well. When you live in places where the winter is almost never lower than 20 degree Celsius, when you get to 10 degrees, people only worry are about supporting the new low temperature. Their focus on surviving the new temperature is more important than any other thing. I am certain get a lot of anecdotes that low temperatures diminish their cognitive skills and productivity.
The majority of the world leaders will probably start reacting when the consequences become too severe to swipe under the carpet.

I agree.
The name YOLO is heavily amused (A good example: https://github.com/jinfagang/yolov7).
However, you should note that the research team of YOLOv5 is also not the original one. As @garblegarble mentioned, the original research group stopped working on it (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31918087).
You can use yolov5 - here's a repo I made for an Ultralytics competition: https://github.com/jveitchmichaelis/edgetpu-yolo

Note: typical constraint is RAM and changes to the EdgeTPU compiler which now fails to convert larger models. Previously (version 15?) it would delegate layers to the CPU, but now it just doesn't work at all for large input sizes.

Also while it works, I think it's unlikely to be much better than a well trained mobilenet SSD. The advantage is you can train in pytorch and go from there, training quantised/edge models in Tensorflow is tricky.
> There's no non-religious basis for finding gay marriage objectionable. But it was not legal everywhere in the US until only 7 years ago. And appears to be in jeopardy again.

Yes there is. You can easily argue that marriage is a cultural or legal system based on making it easier for families with children in a society. Giving them tax benefits, beaurocratic benefits (so one person can represent an entire family for example). Because whatever the fashion in 2022, societies need children to survive and want to incentivise it.

Now there might be edge cases in terms of children + gay couples in 2022, historically you can easily make a non religious case for marriage being between a man and a woman for the purpose of procreating.
I agree, there's a ton of research at this point and the people saying otherwise are just trying to obfuscate reality to protect themselves and the way they do things
I've been thinking about this myself. I'm highly productive and always avoid unnecessary complexity. My most common question is: Can we not do it?

However, when I worked for a company I did get bigger promotions but that it was in the 10-20% range. I was literally 2-3 times more productive than people who got paid 30-40% less.

If you take a big picture look, you will see things get more obvious when you give it enough time. In 10 years the difference will be big enough (I think).
I know someone working for a big arms dealer, and they say it's really hard to find people, because nobody wants to work with them.

Indeed, AC in private homes is still relatively rare. Of course, in recent years it became more fashionable. Also, a lot of houses in the traditional hot regions of Europe are built to be livable without air conditioning. In my eyes, he biggest impact in recent years has been to the traditionally more moderate regions, where there is no AC and houses or clothing and social habits are not tuned for hot temperatures. In Germany, it was almost welcomed to feel to hot for the very few hot days (if any) it had through the year. Nowadays, we definitely have hotter and more intense summers.

That's not relevant. You said you judged by (and blocking!) other people for following common practices when dealing with you. How are they supposed to know you are one of the minority who doesn't expect a follow up?

For self-sustenance, I would consider making actual working clones of phone, pc or pad apps. I would choose a bunch of apps that have high download counts and less than stellar scores, do something simple, like keeping calories, reading lists, bluetooth coms, keeping track of people, locations, etc. Or maybe simple puzzle games. Use easing and buy stock images / music for higher impact. Then I would spend a week or two replicating it, set it up for ads or in-app purchases of things that require server upkeep or unique features, and that's it. Increase apps to increase passive income.

You're likely less productive due being uncomfortable and not due heat itself.

In many places, due humidity, architectures, trees, dressing culture etc... 27-30 degrees is super comfortable.

Anecdotally, I'm completely unprepared for anything lower than 22 degrees, it makes my life absolutely miserable.
I would have thought this was more obvious to Swedish people, on account of experience with saunas. A 45°C Turkish sauna/steam room feels about comparable to a 80°C Finnish sauna (~10% humidity). And of course the way to make any Finnish-style sauna feel hotter is to pour some water over the rocks, increasing humidity.

Well the modern sense of senior leaves it likely that they have not yet learned to dress themselves either.

I think sibling has a stronger argument, but I just want to add that, even if you take a free market approach for everything else, I think paying and receiving money deserves to be treated separately.

Monetary transaction is fundamental to civilization, more than any other single service or good. You very nearly can't participate in civilization and can't at all in the free market without being able to freely spend and receive money. And this is the first time in history that monetary flow has been centralized to this degree, and it's hard to imagine things going less digital.
Has this ever been replicated? Were detailed enough records kept that we be sure this happened more or less as described or is it one of the famous experiments that were at best described in a completely misleading way, like the Zimnbardo Stanford prison experiment, or wildly and willfully misinterpreted, like the murder of Kitty Genovese?

I love diagrams.net, it's what I use whenever I need to prototype a UI. And one thing I particularly love is you don't need to register to use it or to save your work.

Most online tools have a dark pattern where they pretend it's possible to use without registering, they even say so on their landing page, and then when you go to save your work they force you to register. Diagrams.net doesn't do that and they have my respect.

> killing like crazy but actually eating very little

For a domesticated species it sounds like that is the main function.

That is, it would make sense that humans domesticated multiple species (cats, dogs, ferrets, minks, etc..)[1] to be adept at killing just for killing sake, probably with different niches. Dogs for defense, and all of them able to offer pest control for various sizes of pests.

This is pure speculation on my part however. Any experts care to weigh in?

1 - (dogs and minks killing lots of rats) https://youtu.be/SM4C3_nMN_g
1. Neutered animals still hunt, one single racoon released in a small Spanish Island by idiots almost wiped the entire colony of an endangered marine bird in two years.

2. One problem does not exclude the other. Ferrets live in freshwater systems. Can swim and eat amphibians, fishes and molluscs. They know how to manage toads to remove the poison glands and then eat the toad entire. Feral cats don't like frogs, and avoid entering in water unless necessary. Cats favor to live near humans and are quickly extirpated from wild areas with raptors. Ferrets instead, dive into crevices and rocks, remain hidden and are much more hard to hunt.

3. They could and they should be eliminated if you want to save the Californian fauna. In any case "I want to be allowed to violate the law in my state, because the other states don't care and is free for all there" is a false dichotomy.

4. Not. You would just increase the number of ferrets and the probability of escape. To start, entire litters would be released by the animalist crew (100% of probability if the species is legally allowed to breed). Moreover, ferrets aren't dogs, they enter in each hole of crevice that see, and need to investigate it, even for days. They will not return to you when you call them so (unlike cats and dogs), if you let your pet play in the garden alone for one minute, you will lose it. Entire females in heat are an "hormonal bomb" they either mate or die by stress if let alone. This mean that they travel a lot in search of a male.
> This just seems too close to racist theories about why the north hemisphere is richer than the south.

First, you can’t deny that different counties have different economy structure. And before you put a racist label on me, remember, that correlation is not causation.

Second, I bet that office workers in Vietnam have a decent air conditioning. Their northern hemisphere counterparts might not. Germany is a prime example. I have flashbacks of working in a hot sauna of an office in Berlin.
and what about independent contractors? I have been a technology contractor since the 1970's and I have never had a contract with any of my customers.
Oh that’s cool. I’d tried some of these years ago, but they were painful, didn’t support Python 3.x, etc.

I’ll have to check it out.
i've made use of various windows based microsoft ides, intellij, eclipse, wind river tornado, the qt creator, various activestate ides, various notebook ides and others i probably cannot even remember.

i've encountered these ides in various corporate environments in varying degrees of broken where fixes are essentially impossible. (assuming they're available in the first place)

i like vim, and other simple open source tools as they work reliably and are reliably available.
I've got it the other way around. I can run around with a pair of jeans, a tshirt and a hoodie when it's -20C outside, but anything over +20C makes me insanely uncomfortable.

As expected per your hypothesis, my productivity drops like a rock during summer.

Nevada built their own background check system on top of the federal system and already legally requires private sellers to run one. Therefore the costs won't increase by a federal law requiring background checks and the length of time can decrease is the Nevada public safety department is better funded.

There's one reference to it on the French toast page and it wasn't made up by the Wikipedia writer. There's a very similar Roman dish, and the original Latin cam be found here (recipe 3): https://la.wikisource.org/wiki/De_re_coquinaria/Liber_VII_-_...

This was translated by Joesph Dommers Vehling, whose translation can be found here (recipe 296): https://www.gutenberg.org/files/29728/29728-h/29728-h.htm

Vehling added "[and beaten eggs]", and equates the recipe with French toast, but makes it clear his addition is precisely that: it's bracketed and in lower case.
I mean supplements alone (like protein shakes, creatine powder and friends) are completely fine, but I do agree that steroid use in young men is a hidden epidemic. Especially since almost everyone claims to be fully "natty".
> We can clearly see that YOLOv6s detects more objects in the image and has higher confidence about their label.

If actually look at the images they provide directly above:

In the first image, the older one detects one extra tie. In the second image, the objects detected are the same. In the third image, the older one detects a stop sign, and this new network (no, let's not call it YOLOv6) appears to get confused by the two cars behind one another and detects two objects, but the bounding boxes of the objects includes both, it doesn't look like it actually separates them. But to be fair to them, they do detect an additional person on the left.
To use email.
But the consequences of too many young males and not enough females, are quite similar.

The consequences of having too many men, now coming of age, are far-reaching: Beyond an epidemic of loneliness, the imbalance distorts labor markets, drives up savings rates in China and drives down consumption, artificially inflates certain property values, and parallels increases in violent crime, trafficking or prostitution in a growing number of locations.

Those consequences are not confined to China and India, but reach deep into their Asian neighbors and distort the economies of Europe and the Americas, as well. Barely recognized, the ramifications of too many men are only starting to come into sight.

“In the future, there will be millions of men who can’t marry, and that could pose a very big risk to society,” warns Li Shuzhuo, a leading demographer at Xi’an Jiaotong University.

Yeah that’s still going to require some external energy input, probably in the form of heat. It only matters in terms of atmospheric co2 if that heat comes from non fossil sources, or else it’s a net negative for the environment.

Emacs is an IDE in my opinion.

Whenever there's some hot new IDE feature it'll end up in Emacs sooner or later. Sometimes better than the original implementation, sometimes not.

What I like about Emacs is that it is timeless, works on a lot of platforms, supports a lot of programming languages (while a lot of modern IDEs are focused on a single language[1]) and also supports e-mail, Twitter, IRC, Matrix, etc. etc.

[1] Which makes them very good for that specific language, I get that. But I prefer Emacs' "just good" support if that means I don't have to learn a new IDE again.
