This appears to be the actual CCSA study that led to the "no safe amount" conclusion: https://www.ccsa.ca/canadas-guidance-alcohol-and-health-fina...

I haven't read the report in detail so I can't comment on the methodology. Some salient points:

• I don't see an actual recommendation that no alcohol is safe. The conclusion is that there is a continuum of risk, and that 3-6 drinks per week carries "moderate" risk.

• The risk model output is presented on Pages 25 (females) and 26 (males).

• The risk model appears to include both long-term health risks as well as short-term risks such as injury due to accident or violence that occurred while intoxicated with alcohol.

• The risk model is developed using meta-analysis of several pre-existing studies.

• The "2 drinks or less" recommendation is shown on the chart on Page 29, which shows the lifetime risk of year-of-life-lost as an increasing function of weekly average alcohol consumption. 2 drinks is approximately the crossover point where the risk goes above baseline.

That's not at all what GP was saying - I quote, with emphasis added:

> I hear people who are pro-capitalism say “the poorest people in the US have it better than kings did 500 years ago”, which is only true if you’re considering the stuff those people have. If you’re considering the ability to self-actualize it’s not at all true.

My point was, what part of either of those issues points to them being reported by liberals? A conservative could have been the one to report that issue... people are kind of telling on themselves by assuming the people complaining about the facial recognition bias must be a liberal.

That is more an artifact of the physics of electric cars. To get the range the masses want, you need a large, heavy, expensive battery battery. You can get tons of power for almost not additional money, mass or volume. So building something like a 5 series BMW is very easy to do and make competitive. Building a Honda fit is very hard. The nissan leaf is the closest thing to that, and people don't want it because it can't really do road trips.
Well, you would need a GPU with 96GB of VRAM, might be able to do multiple eGPUs, not sure...but that still would hit major throughput limits.

I've never run a spam filter. Basic greylisting stopped the sheer majority of spam, with no chance of false positives (by definition). My greylisting setup fell by the wayside but I haven't bothered to fix it. It's been easy enough to just manually delete spam, most by looking at the sender/subject.

Indeed.

Since I didn't notice any improvements I started wondering.

It only speeds up Ruby itself. In a "real world" web app performance, performance is mostly dominated by Ruby/PHP/Java/whatever sitting around and waiting for database queries to execute.

So for a lot of web workloads the perf increase won't be huge. If your average endpoint is e.g. 5ms of Ruby and 500ms of DB queries, your max speedup will be negligible if you switch to YJIT... or even if you rewrite the whole app in hand-optimized assembler.

(Also gets to the root of why perf-based criticism of Ruby is usually dumb, IMHO. It's usually not the problem)
I'd also like to see ingredients lists in general. Why is alcohol exempt?
Soldered chips are here to stay. DDR5 already struggles on 4-slot desktop mobos and laptops with SODIMM slots. You can use 2-slot mobos and CAMM to solve those problems for now, but I would be unsurprised if the DIMM/SODIMM DDR6 never sees wide adoption and everyone moves to soldered RAM by 2030.
Interestingly, the US Coast Guards only “no fail” mission is providing rotary wing air intercept capability to the air defense network. In the National Capital Region they have helicopters that get scrambled as part of the air defense response to go intercept air targets that a slow and low. Basically anything that it would be hard for a fighter jet to pull up along side and match airspeed with. The Coast Guard helos don’t have any air to air weapons capability, their main purpose is to prevent false positives. They can get real close and relay information to the air defense folks who have access to weapons systems, and also a helicopter suddenly appearing next to you with a signboard saying that you need to turn immediately is a pretty good indicator to a weekend warrior that they are not supposed to be flying there.
Ruby.

The papers from Alan Kay's VPRI/STEPS are worth a read:

https://vpri.org/writings.php

The program was all about composing simple, understandable DSLs to build a computing infrastructure, including compilers, graphics subsystems and more, with the larger goal of making computing understandable again from top to bottom.

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I don't know. I just know I can't rely on EWG for an objective take on it.
Yeah. Kids only put in their real age once. After they get burned they know they have to say they're over 12 or 18 or whatever the site is asking about for a threshold.

Worse than that, the proof of identity is making it impossible to use the safest option - anonymity. If a kid gets bullied or harassed or targeted by bad actors they can't simply delete their account and create a new one. These laws force them to have one or two super high value (to them) accounts that are difficult to abandon.

I think they initially had hopes that they would be able to make some disruptive innovations in auto manufacturing - but all the evidence suggests they went way over their skis as Teslas are notorious for having extremely poor fit and finish. The failure to deliver on self driving is in line with a history of failing to deliver. You can include the weird hype around the Tesla humanoid robot on this list too imo.
In that case, I'd expect that bounce rate wouldn't have been a big clue, but it's also possible that some of the owners of those real addresses would have replied in a way that indicated they weren't actual customers. One never knows.
Interesting aspect not mentioned in this article: "…when the latest quarter’s figures are added, [Goldman Sachs] Platform Solutions is on track for a total three-year loss of $4 billion, with Apple Card making up more than $1 billion of that figure."

IIRC there was an issue early on with the M1 Macs that involved way higher than normal swap usage, and was potentially bad for SSDs. But I thought that was fixed within months.
The architect isn't present at all times. When I paid a company to put some new flooring, paints, etc a few years ago, the interior architect told the guys "the floorboards must always be placed in the direction of light, from the window wall towards the opposite wall". The following morning, I came early into the room, and the guy was dutifully aligning floorboards in the wrong direction. "What are you doing? You're supposed to lay them this way, not that way" "Oh, just testing". My ass. The guy had already forgotten the instructions he received the night before.

In the toilets, the painter dutifully painted shut the plumbing and valves access panel ("you must open the panel before painting everything. And please don't paint the valves"). The electrician was about to pierce a hole between floors 1 foot away from the walls to pass cables through as I stopped him. Etc.

When having an house built, you (or the architect, or some other responsible person with a working brain) must be there looking at everything all the time. And even with that, they will fuck up. They'll lay alternating tiles in the wrong pattern. They'll build stairs of uneven height. They'll put a window in the kitchen that won't open because it hits the faucet. They'll set up doors that open on the wrong side (all of these happened to my in-laws when getting their home built, and they were there watching every day). They'll fuck up every time you don't watch, every single time.
What makes it staged is saying “Tesla drives itself (no human input at all) thru urban streets to highway to streets, then finds a parking spot.” — no qualifications or caveats, just a sales pitch for a 10^4 USD pre-order which will not ship in the service life of the vehicles it was sold on.

I see. So NVIDIA has actually made a completely new GPU with the exact same product name, with a new architecture? That's cool. Totally clear and understandable.

Though there's one detail: Apple probably couldn't have tested against the new "Ada" one because it's not even available yet, so they still tested against the best available workstation GPU, unless I'm missing something.

"Notify Me" button on the page for RTX 6000 Ada says "You will receive an email when the new NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation graphics card becomes available." I think it's unrealistic to expect companies to benchmark against future products. (not saying you expect that haha)
Sorry, I meant that you need some programming experience. It will not teach the basics of if loops, making structs, etc; it's a good introduction to rust, prior programming experience required.
However, there is literally a point where this becomes fraud and as a publicly traded company Tesla has to be aware of where that line is drawn.

Plenty! Among other things, they literally decay over time, and that's fundamental to and completely inseparable from the way they work. Plus for some reason people always want them to be smaller and cheaper and more reliable.
They explained how something could cause uneven spots and low average, as far as I can tell. Because those spots leak so much.

But I want to know if there is a way uneven spots could cause a problem without some effect tanking the average. What do uneven spots themselves do?
I quit tobacco years ago and the last studies I read pointed to smoke and tar, not nicotine, as the specific cause of cancer.

But later when vaporizers got popular they changed the tune to "tobacco is bad, no matter how you consume it". Honestly, I don't know which is true.

Nobody chain smokes joints all day unless they're Snoop Dogg or something.

There are many somethings out there. But vapes are indeed more convenient.
Have you ever done GUI development of a large app that was meant to be cross platform using Java?

What happens when it isn’t just an inconsistency. But a feature doesn’t exist at all? They have different number of parameters?

How do you handle the different permission models?

The apps are never as good. You still will have just as many shitty half assed apps as you have today with Electron.

Both Google and Facebook have both decided that cross platform apps weren’t good enough.

Here's an article about Apple dropping support for youtube playback. Part of the reason I bought the AppleTV was because it had support for youtube playback.

Afaik, that's sumerian time, not Imperial time. They used the thumb with the finger phalanges, giving 3 * 4=12 options. Together with 5 fingers on the other hand, they got 12 and 60 as bases. I don't know why they just didn't do 12 * 12. The 24 should be looked at as 12 am and 12 pm, the day starting at noon, so it's more like minus 12 to plus 12.

But as we're engineers, lets do a back of the envelope trial:

You're mostly stuck with days, months and years because of astronomical facts.

Seconds are close to heartbeats which has some psychological nicities: People used to count short times in heartbeats. You might be able to redefine a second as 10 millidays.

Weeks tend give decent divisions between work and free days. I remember reading about the USSR messing with the week rythm to get more work time, and it severely backfired in productivity. So you'd need to find a way to give about 8 days in each month as new weekend. Numbers 30 and 8 are hard to decimalize. Maybe define a week as 10 days, with day 1 of the week a holy day, and 1 or 2 more day in the week that workers can choose themselves. I don't see weeks getting much better like that.

The french did give it a try in their revolution, but I don't know why only that part of metrification failed.
All apartments and houses by law must have an energy certificate here. There's a high level EU directive but the details are by country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Performance_of_Building...

Don't know what would be the actual biggest problems against launching something similar elsewhere like in USA.

Probably one could build a software product to estimate these things. Especially easy during construction if the drawing data can be used directly. If things are drawn with CAD that is. But it might be relatively easy to estimate even from photos of paper drawings...

Commits are indeed pointless...if you do merge/pull requests (or the equivalent on whatever collaboration platform you use).

Interesting code that requires context should live in a discussion and be pointed out in the PR body.

Since the artifact of a PR is a squash-merge commit back to mainline and the PR allows for very rich discussion and automated checks and annotations, it makes no sense to add those details into messages that will get lost.

If you DON'T use PRs/MRs for code management (though you really should!!!), then commit messages are EVERYTHING.
I think that was part of why FSD was such a core pitch from the beginning. IF Tesla had managed to crack that to the actual fullest it could have been the game changing thing to put them ahead. The whole pitch of "your car makes money for you while you don't need it" robo-taxis and all the other knock on changes and rental opportunities that would unlock. Too bad they hard committed to camera only sensing which is looking like a major mistake given how little headway they have against traditional car safety features.
What's the purpose of these warnings? Do they even save lives or just make these bureaucrats feel productive? If they really want to save lives, they need to find the cure to cancer. Do more work there.

I might be being dumb but does anyone understand the graphs on page 18? There are multiple lines for different consumption levels but the x axis is also consumption level?

One thing that would be helpful in making this type of decision is to know the impact on average life expectancy. For instance, cigarettes shorten one's life by an average of 13 years. Most would agree that 13 years is an absolutely massive number.

According to this one source, the average lifespan of a drinker consuming 10-15 drinks a week is shortened by 1-2 years: https://www.nationaltasc.org/years-drinking-take-away-from-l...

Warnings are important, but giving people clear data on the consequences of their decisions are is important too.
