Siberian tigers are proficient predators of wild boars:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_boar

>>A single tiger can systematically destroy an entire sounder by preying on its members one by one, before moving on to another sounder.

Siberian tigers are endangered due to poachers seeking to meet the demand for tiger body parts in traditional Chinese medicine, and could be well protected by Canadian conservation authorities on Canadian soil far from China.

A population could be transplanted to Canada and allowed to proliferate, to act as a natural wild pig limiter.

All claims being reviewed by big health insurance conglomerates is the antithesis of privatized healthcare. It incorporates the worst part of public healthcare and destroys the best potential benefit of privatized healthcare.

Both of your arguments have merit, and would be convincing if politicians on both sides were driven by logic. Sadly, I'm doubtful that many politicians on the left still have the integrity or power to act against copyright empires.

It's even more obvious that politicians on the right no longer care about limited government. They are currently trying to ban books.
I would suggest that this is what Racket is

they don't call it Lisp because it came from Scheme but they wisely realized the first step to making changes is to stop calling it Scheme otherwise purists will just rain fire on it and insist on living in the past

from a practical perspective it seems perfectly safe and reasonable to say Racket is Lisp2023

otherwise maybe elisp? it is by far the most important thing with "lisp" in its name in 2023

It is, or at least likely to be recognized as such within the next month or so by SCOTUS.

Chief Justice Roberts, for one, seemed pretty steamed by Harvard's treatment of Asian-ancestry applicants, and he's got 5 justices to his right on this.

Honestly, I would not be shocked if Justice Kagan hopped on with the majority: Quantitative practices like this—and the "social scoring" that would be taken as clear evidence of racism in almost any other context—are hard to defend under the "value of diversity" rationale.

The magnitude of risk increase in percentage has to be understood in context of baseline probability.

25% additional chance of getting hit by lightning and 25% additional chance of getting heart disease are two completely different results -- I don't mind the first but I would be scared by the second.

About 13% of women develop breast cancer during their lifetime. 25% increase is then very significant, this is about additional 4% chance of getting cancer.
> Using a cutoff that is 200 times more strict than standard drug testing practices without giving the patient any warning that they’ll be tested (and guidance to avoid poppy seed foods) is asking for false positives.

Occam's razor must apply here. They know what they're doing, and doing it intentionally.
It will teach most of the good programming and software engineering practices that apply to any nearly any project.
There are a couple exceptions here, like Infineon/Cypress’s PSoC chips, but it sort of seems like 99% of vendors have moved to Eclipse based IDEs with full support for whatever compilers work in that ecosystem.

There’s only a handful of things that matter when it comes to generating embedded code for a specific microcontroller and most of it comes down to the format required for the final linked executable, which usually boils down to an ld script.

In general any kind of ARM chip is going to work perfectly fine with the latest C++.

Or to rephrase your comment, the real reason to use C is because all the support tooling, header files, peripheral drivers, RTOS, etc. are written in C, and there’s not a huge benefit to moving user code to C++.
Nvidia seems in a really great position. They are to AI what Intel was to the PC (and unlike the PC era there is not a single Microsoft here who controls the entire ecosystem). CUDA still has no alternative. Yes Google has TPUs but outside of Google NVIDIA still dominates and enjoys the network effects (support in all kinds of libs and framework). They face the same problems that Intel faced, as in the market just wants the software and if the software works the same, the hardware is replaceable. It will be interesting to see how they adapt.

Yeah this is bizarre. Imagine if a cop came up to you and told you to stop committing a crime. Being difficult and dismissing the assertion is going to land you in court. It’s your responsibility to know the law, and it’s certainly not the cop’s responsibility to spell out the public law for you before they can do their job. I don’t know what coinbase expected - actually I think they knew they had no case and are just delaying and trying to take the SEC down with them, given the attacks.
Not only do they fill this knowledge gap, but the gap is a massive chasm. Implementation details are not just figuring out how to get something to work in a bubble without regard for the rest of a system, but finding good compromises based on very imprecise and highly product-specific requirements. AI can just get something equivalent to a poem to barely compile when real world systems are a series of heavy tomes that contain nothing at all what the PMs think they do.
I speculate national security concerns contributed a great deal to that $38,000 cost. How many servers with SSP and POAM documents were needed for its design to classified requirements, sysadmins with security clearances, and for classified manufacturing and delivery?

Unfortunately India is no longer a democracy. The religious nuts took over and it already had a history of old British laws about "purity" and things not to say.

It is really sad to see the world's largest democracy fall.

Scams, poor work ethic in the populace, and a lack of a country wide shared belief structure caused all this.
U miss the point entirely that supersonic planes work differently from “traditional” subsonic planes. Just assuming that “faster equals less fuel efficient” is not really correct. Turbofan engines are kind of draggy and not so fuel efficient close to Mach 1. Ramjets change your equation… :-)
I also have Crohn's and am going through this right now. Months of delays and denials for a new drug lead to two hospitalizations. I'm currently on TPN (IV nutrition) while I taper my Prednisone dose as low as possible prior to surgery.

The funny/sad thing is: between my hospitalizations, TPN and related home health care, and surgery, this is all going to cost my insurance far more than the drug they were denying would have. One would hope this provides them with motivation to better judge the necessity of treatments, but I'm not holding my breath.
This must have been before insurers adopted the mantra "we aren't denying care, only paying for the care!" With that legal magic wand, there is no risk to the insurer.
It’s been a while since I took a theoretical math class, so I’m struggling to remember how some infinite sets can be larger than others. The “one-to-one correspondence” definition given in the article is throwing me off.

If you have two infinite sets, then isn’t it always possible to map an element from one to a new element in the other, because there’s an unlimited number of elements to pick from?
You are getting weird hate here. You identified a health risk someone you cared about / loved was taking and strongly encourage them to avoid it (and offered other solutions)

This is exactly what a proper partner does. Obviously you didn't force anyone to do it, but being passionate about such a topic is totally valid.

Your story reminds me of mine though - encouraged female friends to avoid the pretty obvious health risk. And also have two kids now and never before :)
Wolves are significantly different from dogs. They don't form bonds with humans or other species, they aren't dependent on humans for food, they're true carnivores, they're better problem solvers than dogs, they have smaller litters once a year, their packs are more cohesive family units, they're shy, they don't play past the juvenile stage. Wolves and Dogs are like a Hell's Angel and an actor playing a Hell's Angel.

You don't have to fear wolf attacks because we just aren't something they are familiar with, but if they're really hungry they'd have no qualms over turning a couple humans into lunch, and you can't just scare them off.
I keep seeing this and similar claims come up, but they are never backed up by any substance — including in this article.

It's always the same formula, too.

Step 1: Claim that the idea of an "alpha wolf" is a "myth."

Step 2: Explain that packs are usually made up of families.

Step 3:.... Nothing.

Does anyone have any idea what they mean when they say it's a myth? What is the myth? In what way is the idea incorrect?
That's all well and good but there are a lot of situations where women go for birth control where that isn't much of an option.

Is their pay out of line with executives in any other similar sized businesses?

As far as I can tell from the financial reports, profit margins are so low simply because expenses are that high, and its across at least 7 publicly listed health insurers.

The main cause of low profit margins that I can tell is high healthcare expenses (and lots of competition and state regulation so they cannot increase premiums more).

I've had pretty good experiences with Aisler[1]. They're based in Germany and produce prototype PCBs (2, 4 and 6 layers) ridiculously quickly. For simple 2 layer boards they are often sent in the post within 2 days and arrive the next day. They're also quite cheap [2] and have excellent customer service.

They also do turnkey board assembly these days. Just put in an order for 6 assembled prototype battery management system boards yesterday. Can't recommend them enough.

> Mech had relied on research done on captive wolves.

But it describes wolves in captivity pretty well! Most references about "alpha" I seen were from a dog behavior. Pack of dogs has a hierarchy and follows orders.

Pick-up originated from dog training. Maybe that is how this term got applied to people.
I’m all for the ideas behind this but the reality is, just because you go to the gym, you aren’t an athlete. People who are, won’t recognize you as such and you calling yourself one before you are usually alienates you from that group you are trying to become.

Call yourself one internally. Don’t be public about it until someone else acknowledges it. You can convince yourself and that’s all that is required to have the OP effects outlined in the article. Just don’t go to the gym and tell the front desk you’re there to “train” like you compete in athletic competitions (origin of athlete) when you brought in your 40lb weight in your stomach.

I highly encourage anyone to try things. If you want to become an athlete or an artist. Call yourself one inside, internally, or write it down, post it’s or journals, just don’t go around in public with this “emperor’s new clothes” mentality.
Apple has no present experience in building big servers (they had experience at one point, but all those people surely moved on)

Mac Minis don't count

Sure, they are super rich and could just buy their way into the space...but so far they are really far behind in all things AI with Siri being a punchline at this point

if anything, Apple proves that money alone isn't enough
For myself, it's hard to overstate just how much better I feel using time restricted eating (even with just a 14/10 window). I've done it off and on over the years, but recently had to start again because I was getting mild GERD symptoms. It's basically fixed them completely.

But beyond just the feeling, you can see it directly in my Apple Watch data. HRV goes up considerably. RHR goes down. Estimated VO2 Max does up.

Time restriction seems to be a _VERY_ powerful mechanism for promoting health and wellness.
did you just learn about copyleft? It's not a new concept
The author was Japanese and the subject was Filipino. There's a lot of (racial? cultural?) animus there - it's a little like a yankee making fun of a white southerner. Among Asian people, Filipino and Japanese are often considered different races.
> When Mech published his book, even after more than a decade of field research, he had only once come within fifteen feet of a free-range wolf

> while he was on Ellesmere that “it dawned on me the need to tell the world about this alpha stuff. Because it’s nonsense.

so basically both the original and the myth are one anectdote each? he even say:

> It makes no sense up here.

how this special community of wolves generalize to other?
article doesn't care enough to say.

does the researcher say at some point?

is there anyone doing actual research with data that can be repeated, instead of deriving principles from natural observations? I thought we were past Aristoteles&co.
Automatic rejection is a tactic used by all sorts of con artists.

If they say no and you never come back then they don't have to worry about you anymore.
Tacking roadblocks as they come up in service, creating a better product … that sounds a lot to me like engineering except with some words twisted around?
Maybe I'm being overly generous, it seems like it may be possible for this kind of thing to be more of a request out of support/concern for a loved one's health, rather than one of control or knowing better than a woman. It has been my understanding that many men don't consider such things.

My lady has had horrendous experiences with hormonal contraceptives. Based on what we know of it, if she ever expressed wanting to try it again, I'd ask she reconsiders, or that we explore other options. She would appreciate that as being thoughtful (not as me claiming to know what's better for her, better than herself.)

Maybe it's all about context, I'm not sure
The headline is somewhat deceptive. This study doesn’t assess lifetime risk, just risk before age 49. Since most breast cancers are diagnosed well after age 49, it needs to be assessed in that light.
To be clear: you would never be in any way responsible for problems associated with your partner taking hormonal birth control because it is a choice they make themselves for their own body.

> Instead I took responsibility for making sure she wouldn't get pregnant

You have to understand what a big statement that is. If she does get pregnant there’s only one person guaranteed to have to deal with the consequences of that, and that’s her. Being hesitant to transfer the responsibility to you is very rational, being mad at you over the topic is understandable.

I know your intention is good throughout here but there’s an implication that you know what’s better for their bodies than they do. A better approach (IMO) is to inform them of the risks (which you’re right they may not know) and let them make their own choice.
Hopefully soon, doctors that prescribe birth control for things unrelated to birth control will now stop doing that as that's a reasonably bad thing to do (IMHO IANAD)
How much of a moat is CUDA?

It's indeed ages beyond any of their competitors. However, most ML/DS people interact with CUDA via a higher-level framework. In recent years this community has consolidated around a few (and even only one platform, PyTorch) framework. For some reason AMD had not invested in platform backends, but there is no network effect or a vendor lock-in to hinder a shift from CUDA to ROCm if it is supported equally well.
If you have health insurance from your employer, it's probably covered under ERISA. This is federal, so no help from your state insurance agency and no small claims, and I have found that there are few lawyers who will touch it even in a large city.
OpenAI is actively blocking the scraping use case. Does this work around that?

Do other people listen to podcasts based on the personality of the interviewer? I just assume that you listen based on the guest, and the host is just there to ask decent questions, which Lex does quite well.
I am surprised commenters here did not read into the nuance:

> A Cigna algorithm flags mismatches between diagnoses and what the company considers acceptable tests and procedures for those ailments. Company doctors then sign off on the denials in batches, according to interviews with former employees who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Before grabbing the pitchforks, it is important to be sure if their policy is reasonable or not. Whose fault is it if doctors ask clients to perform expensive tests, because they can't be bothered to actually think and figure out what test would be the most optimal?

Now even if the doctors really overprescribe tests, I don't think the client should be responsible. Instead, the insurance should pay, but kick the doctor out of their network.
While one may not be interested in writing compilers, the techniques are applicable elsewhere.

For example, I once wrote a date/time "compiler" that could read dates and times in various human formats and construct a time_t from it. It's a giant mess if you approach it in an ad-hoc fashion. But if you approach it from a lexing then parsing standpoint, things work a lot better.

I see too many attempts at reading a textual data format that are done ad-hoc. Even worse are the attempts to design a data format where the designer clearly had no awareness of lexing and parsing - the format is just one ad-hoc kludge after another.
I thought there was some mention of gas from the first responders. When a lot ignites at one time it can be earth-shaking.

Maybe something like the Phillips explosion in 1989:

https://pophistorydig.com/topics/phillips-petroleum-explosio...

I'll never forget what it was like. We had about a 50x200 foot metal building with offices in front and warehouse in back, and an alley in between the next building so trucks could make deliveries and get to the dumpster in back. The "Garbagemaniac" was a known agressive driver, expressing his displeasure ever since the dumpster was no longer at the front of the building.

Anyway I built the chemical laboratory in a completely enclosed sub-space of the warehouse, well above code, with separate ventilation but you could walk right in from the established office hallway through a big metal fire door and be right there. Another metal door led out from the lab to the remaining warehouse space, these heavy doors really make a noise when they close, and shook the sub-wall they were attached to a little bit every time. By the sound, you could tell which door someone came in from because the warehouse wall rattled characteristically with all the gas tubing and utilities attached to it. You get used to it, there's a lot of noisy equipment and early small-computer fans were not small or low-noise themselves.

I really was already dedicated to getting more accomplished in small money-making laboratories than I could working as an employee in the chemical plants and refineries themselves, or their usually-remote research centers, which can have unlimited budgets by comparison and do not need to turn a profit on their own. I still especially enjoy being at least a couple miles from the nearest plant, rather than right inside a massive facility full-time.

If you look at the blast radius from Phillips I was in Zone 2 a couple miles away.

Well back in 1989 this time, everyone else was still out for lunch and I was sitting in the men's room in the offices in the mid-part of the building. I was jolted and it felt and sounded like the garbage truck had crashed right in from the alley through the closed overhead warehouse door, and into the side wall of the lab where the pipes rattled like you had never heard before, and I was not even in the lab.

I quickly got up, went out there and saw nothing. I could not believe there was no visible damage, nothing. It had been a massive shock and I felt the whole building move, people were not going to believe me when they get back.

When they got back they were telling me about it from the news, the fire was ongoing and the Ship Channel had restricted traffic.

Over the next few weeks we figured out that part of the building had moved about 1 inch and the other part about a half-inch, the slab had cracked in the middle but fortunately it did not hamper our continued operation.

It was very tragic for the local community of industrial workers though.
