Honestly, aspirin is really closer to "grinding up rhino horns" than to complex pharmaceuticals you have to make in a lab. It's literally "drink this tea made from willow bark" except we got better at isolating the active components and finding other ways to produce them and more reliably measuring the dosage.

The difference is that empirical studies have demonstrated the effect of "willow bark tea" and the lack of an effect of "ground up rhino horn".
This kind of move is unfair to all the historical careers that weren’t protected from technological evolution.

The problem is that I’m not convinced that “good CSS” even exists. Even the very idea of separating content and style seems problematic to me, and in my experience it simply doesn’t works for anything more complex than a markdown converted to html.

Add to it that for some weird reason web’s style includes layouting, which imo should be a separate thing entirely, and this is the primary reason why any given CSS has to be specifically created for a given HTML template, and why seemingly benign CSS modifications can move that 3rd step of the checkout page, rendering it completely broken.

Restricting CSS to a subset of only cascading some very basic properties (fonts, colors, default font-size), and letting everything else be managed on a per component basis (where close coupling of style and template absolutely makes sense) and simply layouting those components to form the given design makes much more sense to me (and frankly, it was sort of figured out a few decades ago by several desktop GUI framework..). And while you can write vanilla CSS this way, tailwind just restricts you to this subset — the same way there sure exists some safe subset of C, but you need something like Rust to restrict you to that [1]

> "Consequently, rice production is responsible for 12% of total methane emissions—and 1.5% of total greenhouse-gas emissions, comparable to the aviation sector. Vietnam’s paddy fields produce much more carbon equivalent than the country’s transportation."

I think there is a difference between flying around a few million people who are part of the 1% and feeding 60% of the world's population. I think looking at sources of emissions is fine, especially when there is potential for reduction. But this feels a bit like blaming the global poor for climate change. Rice does not fuel the climate crisis, coal power plants do.

Not necessarily. The EV ban bills proposed in those US states are purely there just to irritate liberals.

The EU is extremely skeptic of any genetically-modified food, for a whole load of various reasons, and banning lab-grown meat is entirely in line with that. If you can't tolerate one extra disease-resistance gene in your food, you're not going to be happy with lab-grown meat either.

Furthermore, the EU has a very long list of foods that are only allowed to be grown in specific areas or in certain ways. While this is nominally because a lot of those foods are named after specific towns, in practice many of them do not have "generic" names, so these are ultimately de-facto trade bans on other people making those foods. Labs being able to grow "perfect" versions of those foods (as opposed to the generic competition being demonstrably worse) would upend this system.
Could replace that almost 1:1 with wheat and it wouldn't be more or less correct.

> particularly for the non-tech workers that are in fact most of the market

I would say the real reason it "works" for non-tech workers is because they don't have enough bargaining power to reject crap such as Teams and similar Microsoft software, and/or haven't had the chance to try out anything else and don't know what an actually good experience is, while tech workers generally do and reject it as a result (that's why this garbage is non-existent in startups and tech-centric companies).

Spinning it as a tool for non-tech workers is a nice cop-out from the truth which is that non-tech workers merely lack the political power needed to reject this shit (and similar - Windows, etc) just like the vast majority of tech workers do. If those non-tech workers were given a choice, Microsoft's marketshare would significantly shrink overnight.

I work in a totally chaotic, mismanaged department of a major university. The total work time is about 3-4 hours per week of a 40 hours paid job.

I did not want the job initially due to my work ethics, my need of challenges, and low learning curve.

Now I am happy I took it. Life can be good. One can be good to oneself. Turns out I am in a happy spot.

The job allowed me to start a therapy and work on myself.

>people who speak another language. They are just like you and me in almost every imaginable way.

And then the Orange fruit is introduced, and the language gains the word orange, and all those who speak that language begin to perceive color differently because now they have a word for a hue that they didn't previously have a word for, and that causes them to perceive that hue as a distinct color for the first time.
That’s like saying you can’t translate gohan/meshi as “rice” because of the deep cultural importance Japan places on rice. Sure, you can’t transmit to me the experience of growing up in a culture that has evolved for thousands of years with the ubiquitous presence of rice, you can’t download into my brain what it’s like to exist in a culture that is deeply and consciously reliant on rice, fine. But you absolutely can tell me the English word (or words) that points at the same thing they’re pointing at when they say their word (or words) for rice.
Exactly. Though if you go a bit deeper, it's more about a fertilizer shortage that will impact many other crops as well.

Lab-grown meat isn't even remotely competitive with real meat, neither economically, nor aesthetically, nor nutritionally. The differentiating selling point for lab-grown is "cruelty-free", and the largest cohort who this selling point appeals to is vegans, who are a relatively small cohort anyway. Real meat and lab-grown aren't even in the same market - they're each targeting completely different prospects.

Does the Italian government seriously think it's a threat?
Just poking some registers to send an Ethernet frame kind of hand-waves all of the ACPI table lookup, AML parsing, PCIe root/bridge init, etc, so in that regard "mov dx,0x3f8 ; out dx,al" is more simple and reliable - USB needs all of the same PCI/PCIe stack also so is of course a nightmare :)

It's worth noting that if you go fifty years back or so, fountain pens and dip pens were a lot more similar to each other than they are today. Both typically had flexible nibs and the real difference between them was just whether the ink automatically flowed from a reservoir inside the pen or was manually collected from an inkwell once in a while.

(okay, yes, also the inks themselves were completely different, with fountain pens having to use dyed water solutions to avoid clogging the pen, whereas dip pen inks actually have solid particles of pigment held in suspension in their ink, giving bolder colors and darker blacks when dry on the page; if you put a dip pen's ink in a fountain pen it would very quickly clog up with those pigment particles. And back in the day, it would probably eat right through the latex bladders the ink was stored in)

The fountain pens you get today are very different from the ones back then; they have stiff nibs which can survive the sorts of pressures that ballpoint users are used to inflicting on their pens, and they're equipped with quick-drying ink. They're pretty much indestructable under normal usage. But back in the day a fountain pen required a very light touch and some patience (or blotting paper) to ensure the writing didn't smudge and that you didn't damage the nib.

(there's been a mild resurgence in the popularity of flex nibs in fountain pens over the past few years. I haven't seen any which have anything like the flexibility you see in real vintage pens, but it's a lot more than we've seen in fifty years and it's nice to see them making a modest return!)

When you download a trained model for use by Python, I'm assuming the model contains both the architecture (the neural net or even a boosted tree) as well as the weights / tree structure that makes the model actually usable in inference. When organizations release a trained model, I'm assuming that the weights are necessary to make use of that model? If not, then are they not really releasing the model, but just the architecture and training data?

As someone who is following this technology while not really an expert (I'm a computational biologist in my day job) LoRA is a way of reducing the number of parameters in a large language model (LLM, the technology behind all these new chatbots) so that it can be run on less powerful hardware (say a laptop or even a phone). The OP is saying that the improvements this chatbot provides isn't so much being more clever about reducing parameters but being trained on text that has been cleaned up rather than the rather messy training sets used in other small LLMs.
Nobody's going to engage with those arguments because they miss the point. Tailwind is CSS, ergo it wouldn't work if what you're saying wasn't possible.

Writing good CSS for interfaces in a web application of significant complexity is expensive and time consuming. Tailwind solves that problem very well. Other CSS frameworks have done so as well over the years -- I wouldn't call Tailwind unique -- but the micro-class approach it takes is perfect for modern interface templating systems like Vue, where you tend to abstract at the component level instead of at the style level.

The GP asked "how does the Fed go about buying things?" You are arguing that they don't meet the definition of an "investor" because they aren't "focused" on profit. To your point here's a graph of the Fed's profit they they've given to the Treasury since 2012: https://i0.wp.com/www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/...

I'd argue that while the fed is not solely or primarily focused on profit, they very much do profit in their operations. That graphic comes from an article where some speculate what would happen if the fed didn't profit:

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2022/06/01/what-if-t...

I think you got hung up on the word "investor" and missed GPs actual question "how does the fed buy?"

From the page I linked:

"The New York Fed's Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) purchases agency MBS to sustain the smooth functioning of the agency MBS market, thereby fostering effective transmission of monetary policy to broader financial conditions."

They have a group of people that are going into the open market and buying and selling. I dunno what those people are optimizing for in their purchases when it comes to MBS, but The Fed interact with "the market" exactly like others do in this case.

And more specifically GP, https://www.investopedia.com/the-fed-s-corporate-bond-portfo...

These are the companies the fed chose to buy in 2020 when Covid was peaking.

And to be clear those were not purchased by the "trading desk" the Fed isolated those purchases into a separate entity which they called "SMCCF": https://www.investopedia.com/secondary-market-corporate-cred... (The result is the same: some humans at "The Fed" went out into the market and selected some securities to purchase based on some criteria)
