What long term fate? Being displaced?
Clearly the current culture in the US is not healthy, but the reason for healthy scientific and rational skepticism in this case was succinctly laid out in previous comments. It seems to me a tautology to suggest to that going for a walk is less complex than purchasing a specialized device in order to to a specialized exercise in an attempt to fend off obesity (when we already know that walking alone will probably not do any such thing).

I'm much more optimistic about pharmaceutical approaches to combating the obesity epidemic at this point. The current cultural direction on this may shift at some point however.
You can use any phone carrier you want, one of these two real ones, or one of the hundreds of VoIP providers. Regardless on your choice, you can still call the people you want, regardless on their carrier. The only difference is cost per minute, which is typically low cost to switch.

It's impossible to use an alternative messenger to communicate with people who use FB messenger. Unlike e-mail providers or phone operators, these newer web services don't have any interoperability, they're closed systems.

To switch from Facebook, a person gonna need to convince all people they communicate with to switch as well - to the same alternative messenger. That's very high cost to switch, borderline impossible to do for many people.
You can? Both the RTX 3050 and RX 6400 come in single fan form factors not much longer than a PCIE slot. Anything weaker than that is getting beaten by AGUs.
>the $1.1 billion they’re entitled to receive

You would agree this is not the norm for wrongful death lawsuits, yes? I mean, at the rate they occur, businesses would all be out of business if it cost $1B every time.

Casually referring to someone being "entitled" to a billion dollars therefore raises the question of why most people aren't; have you any opinion on that?

From what I've heard if you talk to a lawyer about suing they are going to say that potential damages are largely dependent on lost years of life and earnings, and so, say, a retired homemaker isn't worth it.

Ah, yeah. I don't think anyone sells laptops with Silverblue pre-installed, so that would be a hurdle. After that though, IMO Silverblue fits the bill very well, and may surprise you with how polished its update/upgrade flow is, especially compared to Debian-family distros.
Oh, I misunderstood the requirements then. I thought it's required for certification as well.

Well, then PC HDR is doomed.

There is also issue with HRD calibration on PC for some reason. I have no issues on console connected to TV, but the same game on the same TV running on PC would get all weird looking.
And yet, with no functioning Facebook or Twitter account, I seem to have no problem finding businesses that sell the things I'm interested in. Most local issues of actual importance are still mentioned in the newspaper.

Facebook could get their databases and backups wiped tomorrow and I'm pretty sure nothing would substantively change in my life or my work (and I work in tech). Same goes for Twitter. I might be exposed to less second-hand stupidity on an average day.

I see lots of hand-wringing about them being somehow equivalent to power plants or water districts, but to me it seems like a tortuous justification for "make them act how I want them to act".
I think this is one of many explanations. While exams were stressful. I loved learning and would love to go back for my PhD or even a brand new discipline if I had the funds to support my family with that lifestyle.

Documentation is a multi-headed hydra where you have different levels of technical competency and foreknowledge and familiarity with the programming environment patterns in use the organizations, particular technical stack organization, the people inside of it, what the product does, etc etc etc

> understanding context

You're asserting here that it understands context, but you haven't provided any argument in support of that assertion.

I think you'll also need to define what you mean by "understanding" (because that term is loaded with anthropocentric connotations) and clearly state what "context" you think the model has.

These are very impressive results, and I can see where it would have immediate utility in games, movies/TV etc. But...

We believe in a future where all content creation will be generated by AI but guided by humans, and the most creative work will depend on the human ability to articulate their desired creation to the model.

This reads to me as if everyone should have the chance to be a movie producer, but people who write/ act/ paint/ play music are somewhat suspect, as if they were talent monopolists or something. I doubt this is what was intended. It's great to have it available as a tool such that imagination rather than financial resources is the primary engine of creative works, but a world in which there's no particularly incentive to get good at things because something better can always be synthesized on demand sounds like an anomie factory.
> People are too selfish and panicky to respond rationally to "although masks are useful, we need current masks for healthcare workers, so please don't go buy any".

It was a shortsighted error that will forever cost them credibility. Not worth it. They should have just contacted the handful of major retailers that could have delivered N95 masks into the hands of most Americans and asked (or even ordered) them to pull the stock. That's it. Problem solved.

All they did in the end was demonstrate that they cannot be trusted to tell the truth and that's not what you want if you're trying to manage a pandemic or any public health crisis. Outright lying because they didn't want to risk treating the American public like adults was such a massive failure I don't think they will ever recover fully from it.
>Something requiring decent scale is totally different than being a natural monopoly. There were plenty of DDoS protection options on the market.

Is it? There were a few DDoS protection services on the market, but they seemingly all dropped KF, so what then? Is that not analogous to kicked out by every ISP?

>I can't grow my own wheat, build my own car [...] - these all require economies of scale. But they aren't natural monopolies, there's plenty of competition in each space. On the other hand, internet is a natural monopoly because the capital costs are so high and are relatively inelastic with the number of users served.

You probably can grow your own wheat or build your own car. But I like your definition of monopoly.

I would say that more generally, that a monopoly is any business that has insufficient competition to motivate them from abusing their stakeholders (including customers, workers, etc.).
Interesting, why do you ask that question? ( sorry I'm not answering your question directly).

I personally find that beyond a point ( my point of course), it's worthless reading most books, the theme repeats and it then is a waste of time unless it's either entertainment or you if have a short memory.
For all the evil Google may be guilty of they have done a lot of good work supporting open standards and releasing proprietary formats as open source. Let's not forget how Chrome liberated the web from Microsoft's won't-fix attitude whilst IE remained the dominant browser.

You seem to be saying that if the government characterizes X as misinformation that is killing people, that is a "pretty clear threat that they are looking to regulate you". If that's accurate, how is the framing of "We believe X is misinformation, do with that advice what you will" versus "We believe X is misinformation, and if you don't act on that, we will penalize you in some way" valid at all? Wouldn't the first statement always be equivalent to the second one?

In a specific study quantifying energy expenditure during rock/pop drumming, it was found to burn enough energy to qualify as a cardio activity (caveat, small sample size) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23559410/

So there could definitely be come advantage gained by regular rock/pop drummers in comparison with sedentary folks for sure. This assumes of course, that other factors are kept the same (diet, pre-existing health conditions, stress exposure etc) which are incredibly hard to compare in real life settings.
Technically, the metaverse is what we build on it; it sits at the crossroads of Web 3.0, Blockchain, Augmented and Virtual Reality.

Stereotyping, I doubt that. Engineers, sure, it's not intuitive that the length increases by so little. Mathematicians: \pi(d + \Delta d) - \pi*d = \pi\Delta d.

> Even if SARS-CoV-2 really entered humans in December, with minimal cryptic spread, that's still enough time for the two lineages to evolve in humans, since they're (sorry) just two SNPs apart.

This isn't the evidence the authors present. The argument isn't "there isn't enough time to go from A -> B." IIRC, I've seen similar acknowledgements that even more rare mutations have been observed in a single transmission during the course of the pandemic. They're just highly improbable.

The most direct evidence (as I see it) for B not evolving from A in humans is the unexpected lack of genetic divergence in lineage A compared to B. Lineage B should show a younger molecular clock, it doesn't.

> I believe Worobey knows this, and that's the reason why he emphasizes the "Separate introductions" model, since their polytomy thing--and not any question of time for cryptic spread--is their best and only argument to exclude that. So I was wrong to mention the tMRCA at all, since even perfect knowledge of that wouldn't tell us confidently how the two lineages arose.

Nonsense. The tMRCA is key evidence in how the lineages arose. One of the reasons for the epi modeling was to figure out the plausible time between the primary case and index case. It shows there is at most a few dozen people infected before the genetic diversity was captured through sampling. (`Results: Minimal cryptic circulation of SARS`)

I don't think you understand their argument here, at all.

> Not only is their argument for two introductions not a standard molecular clock approach, but it's not a molecular clock approach at all, since "Inferring" provides no support

> So why did you switch to "Inferring"?

I don't understand why you're bristling and reading into the terminology here.
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/phylogenetic-inference/

Please elaborate why you think their use of the molecular clock is novel. It's really not.

> Do you believe otherwise? Or do you just mean the approach is of general interest, independently of that question of origin?

As explained above, I think the authors provide compelling evidence of multiple introductions using solid phylogenetic inference and solid molecular epidemiology. Bottom line is that there simply isn't an alternate hypothesis which explains the available evidence, and they illustrate why.

Here's a video you might not have seen, with Pekar and Wertheim. I've cued up the portion with a great explanation of why the evidence in the MRCA and genomics is so important. If you're going to continue to try and tear down their arguments, you probably want to really get this part.

Compare the size of the new air-cooled 40XX cards and the iChill 4090, which is tiny by comparison. The simple answer is just to use liquid cooling if you have a card using 400w. Then all the absurdity just goes away.
My main complaint about this new feature is that it has such poor conceptual clarity that people already familiar with Java will almost always misinterpret what is happening in exactly the same way. I've seen people post similar comments to the one you're correcting on reddit as well.
Could we just follow the atx spec? There is a maximum length for expansion cards, and at that end there are optional supports. These are in servers already. Just start using all that case volume to support the GPU.
It occurs to me that there's a market opportunity here for better online magazine experiences, too. Some kind of reading client that can reliably remove all prompts, adverts, etc. Spotify Premium-style from a wide series of magazine-style websites and reformat their content's layout according to user preferences, for a fee that covers operations and payments to publications.

But would it, if successful, lead to a repeat of the tv-streaming giants' arms races and declines? Cause right now, to give an example, most Condé Nast and Springer websites are not as obnoxious and unfriendly as Netflix and I wouldn't want to get two or three years of them being better than they are right now if it meant that, in the long run, the entire publisher-run parts of the web went down the toilet. If nothing else, I like Scientific American.
If you have a compact one that fits in a bag, you can bring it fine on most intercity trains (though ideally you'd want to check before with the particular line). In local transit it's mostly frowned upon, especially in denser urban areas and busy lines.

It's not "basic physics."

You're implying that "calories in" are all absorbed equally. We poop. Literally. Calories go out that are never absorbed. Every body does this differently. Is that physics too?

Also: some people get calories from certain foods that other people don't get calories from. Is that physics?

Can you lose weight from a calorie restriction diet? Of course! But don't claim that it's the only answer. It's not. The human body deserves more respect than that.
I think this is only true because your life has been so short at that point. The idea of having to repeat an exam next quarter or god forbid, next year feels like an unacceptable waste of time

Drag is Cd * A * v^2

Even if your drag coeficcient goes down from 0.3 to 0.25, doubling your velocity will still more than triple your fuel consumption over constant distance. Then the tradeoffs in airframe to make it not fall out of the sky in the transonic regime, then the loss of ISP from much lower bypass engines, then the smaller cabins, then carrying the extra fuel... you can carry far fewer passengers. Sure your drag went down substantially from mk 0.98, but noone is proposing doing a transonic trip because that would be insane.

You wind up using many times more energy per passenger, meaning you pretty much only have first class due to noone on a budget even considering paying 10x as much. Throw in the cost of SAF and you're looking at the price of a house per ticket in order to save 5 hours in the air from a total 15 hours travel/boarding/waiting time.

> 2. Are there any GPUs that actually have performed physical damage on a motherboard slot?

I have a MSI RTX 3070 2 fan model. It hasn't damaged my PCI-E slot (I think), but it's weight and sag causes some bending that now makes it so that my fan bearing makes a loud noise if spun up high.

My solution has been to turn my PC case so the motherboard is parallel to the ground and the GPU sticks straight up, eliminating the sag. Whisper quiet now.

If this is happening with my GPU, I shudder to imagine what it's like with other GPUs out there which are much bigger and heavier.
I’ll admit some things are cut n dry. Will you admit some things are not cut n dry?

You’re forcing a direct comparison with one category, but how do I know that’s the correct comparison?

I won’t claim to follow it closely but every one of these I’ve seen shows a small impact to a small subset of vulnerable users. That’s a far cry from other things that are universally damaging.

Doesn't seem to be any comparison of the two around that I could find, the algorithm are close but probably different enough to matter?
> PCIe extenders need to become a thing again

PCIe extenders are a thing already. Current PC case fashion trends have already influenced the inclusion of extenders and a place to vertically mount the GPU to the case off the motherboard.

GPU sag is also a bit of a silly problem for the motherboard to handle when $10 universal GPU support brackets already exist.
Yeah, I have a motherboard with a bent out of shape port because of the weight of the card in it. My current desktop has a sag of easily half an inch at the end of the card and it’s not even a particularly large one by current standards. The ATX spec obviously wasn’t designed with GPUs this heavy and this power hungry.
> I've seen it argued that text is worse because it forces people to read the words with their own inner voice. Somewhere in this discussion is a guy who linked to studies saying you are incapable of reading anything without believing it.

Seems like there'd have to be some big caveats for that to be at all true, but it is interesting. I've read a lot of ridiculous crap and haven't been persuaded by much of it.

> (Do you believe me?)

No.
I really think there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

put it this way:

written text has always been extremely mutable and therefore falsifiable. video is simply going to become more like text. people will trust it based on the context and their own judgment rather than the content. I suspect most people already do this anyway
Problem is that the card retainers in the spec would all, I suppose, need to align with the chassis. Card widths are highly variable, so all manufacturers would need to change their card designs to allow for at least providing aftermarket retainers on them.
This makes no sense. And I've only heard the opposite among Gen Z anyway, amazement at seeing someone from "online" (TikTok/YT/etc) in real life.
The problem is that there are only a handful companies to do business with in the first place.

I think what you would expect in a sane market is that they are forced to negotiate a more expensive deal with the remaining service providers due to the supply/demand imbalance.

As there are so few service providers here, there's only a few levels of risk-tolerance/good-moral-fiber that you can negotiate on. Activists only need to push a site above the highest risk-tolerance level (which is unnaturally low due to this quantization)
