Get some (sugar free) rose water [0] and drink it. Compare with water. If they taste the same, you might be missing out on a lot of taste (but you will still be able to taste, say, salt vs. sweet).

More simply put though, if you definitely don't have a sense of smell, you most likely don't have a sense of taste either. I lost my sense of smell due to Covid for a bit, so I have some first-hand experience.

A drive in cinema I loved going to shut down last week because a land value tax made it impossible to conduct their business there. They were being charged over one thousand dollars per day of tax because in that area, tax is calculated ignoring what's actually on the land. If it was shut down and turned into apartments (which is what's happening now), the tax is spread out across all owners and manageable. But concentrated on one business, it made it impossible to run. Land value tax is anti-business.

No thanks.
No, those are fine. Well, almost. They're not uniquely broken, at least.

Mathematics would have me believe "the sum of all positive integers" is a negative number. They can provide glorious proofs of that fact. When you insert the result into the physics equations, the equations work.

But the idea is, on its face, stupid. Any child would tell you as much. The equations only "work" on that premise because they're almost right.

But that's not a problem with infinity, it's a problem with something we're assuming when we go to write the proof in the first place. And whatever that problem is... it's almost certainly the thing stopping us from solving the Riemann hypothesis.
Ya, pipes are really nice. Of course people do tend to get obsessed with them and try and make everything a pipeline. I find pipes fit the functional paradigm really well as they are clearest when they don't result in any kind of side-effects or mutation. Method chaining, on the other hand, is all about side-effects (mutating the object).

I really like pipelines but know people who try and make everything a pipeline.

> Feeding people laxatives isn't exactly a killer answer to this problem.

Sugar alcohols aren't laxatives. They have a laxative effect in high quantities (the line seemingly person-specific)

Ever hear someone complain after eating the entire bag of sugar-free gummy bears? [0]

> I also found this study that says sugar alcohols cause blood and liver cancer.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7072169/

That isn't what it says at all. Sugar-alcohols occur naturally in the body, and cancer affected liver metabolism to cause it to produce more than normal.
So it’s obvious how a study would support the notion that X causes cancer, but how would a study support that X prevents cancer? Too many confounding variables methinks.
If only we had a means of transportation that could efficiently move large quantities of people into dense areas of living.

It would be like a really big car that could fit lots of people. You could then put it on tracks so it had its own right-of-way or even underground.

Oh well, one day we'll figure it out. I'm sure instead what we should be doing is expanding our highways and building more parking lots. It'll fix the problem one day I'm sure of it!

You use jon-foo-randomchars@example.com because then you can be sure where the address was leaked from and which companies are selling your email address, and to provide additional signal to the spam filter. If you use just jon-foo@, then that's guessable and you can't go off on them for selling your email address when they said they wouldn't.
If this is fast enough, then you could use it to render images locally for personal use. Websites could deliver prompts only, perhaps rendering different images for different users. At that point, what does it mean for copyrights? Is the model itself copyrighted or does the system break down?
I am very much in the skeptical camp when it comes to many things with COVID, and open to all sorts of arguments that the nature of the virus and treatments for it do not adhere to what you might call the "orthodox" perspective presented on CNN and enforced by Facebook and Twitter moderators with comms degrees. That said, while the nocebo effect is definitely a thing, my own experience with my first infection was different enough from any other illnesses to this point that I'm convinced these symptoms and their severity were not just a matter of media hype. My first sign of COVID was major conjunctivitis in one eye, which for about an hour was associated with enough pressure I thought I might need to go to urgent care. Then, I had been completely recovered for about a week after I was infected, thought I was over it completely, and then noticed I couldn't smell the family dog and the only thing I was still able to taste was pickles. It should at least be possible to acknowledge the novelty of these symptoms without worrying that they make any sort of case for the propriety of the response or the encouragement of the public to treat SARS-CoV-2 like a virus from a zombie movie.

> They used stack overflow to make their case, and report that user engagement has gone down after the release of ChatGPT. Could it not be the case that SO is less adept at finding related/duplicate questions than ChatGPT? Given the later's facility with the language, I would expect it to be. So I look at the paper to see if they accounted for that, and find this.

The moderation team and community in general on Stack Overflow is so toxic I'm not even sure you could control for that effect well enough to arrive at this conclusion. I would argue people are leaving because it's easier to ask ChatGPT your question than be flamed and banned for asking how to do something. A half right answer from ChatGPT is better than getting marked duplicate and closed because the moron moderation team can't detect nuance.

Right, but that voltage modulation scheme can be distorted by the changing electrical characteristics of your car. Again, imagine a diesel heater kicking in, or windshield wipers, or some other variable load (phone charging)... you can have a clever fault-tolerant modulation scheme, but probably not if you want to also support "blink headlights" as a backup input method?

Beyond that, I don't see the "simplicity" argument for analog. You're already messing with the vehicle's wiring. CAN bus is easily accessible from the passenger compartment. Or, running an extra data wire takes 10 minutes. Short-range RF can be easily secured in this application too.

Plus, on many newer cars, USB charging ports are displacing 12 V outlets, so it's not even all that future-proof.

It's not that I'm desperate to dislike this design, but I'm struggling to see the qualitative improvement over a billion aftermarket designs that most people just kinda don't use...
for paper mail here in Canada I just see it's not for me, mark a line though it and write "Return to Sender, no longer at address". Then it gets put in the outgoing mail system (a slot where I receive my mail, or could also take it directly to any standing postal box, or the post office). Then it goes back though the postal system (for free) to originating sender in most cases.

Need? No. Would it be better for society? Maybe. This is not really something that people disagree with. Dispensing with the repetition will save the distraction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_wage - back to 1604, or earlier or later; what does it matter?

Why? Arguing the economic consequences are not a reasoning.

There will always be humans who are incapable of skilled labor (of any note) beyond newly educated students. eg The Calculator profession and other forms of industrial collapse as well as immigrants (legal or otherwise) and the disabled.

>Scheduling trips is a tricky calculation, and it all comes down to routing — you want drivers to spend as much of their shift as they can actually driving clients around, but you have to leave enough time in-between trips so the driver isn’t late for their next client. So far, the only way to do this successfully has been by using a team of human dispatchers, though the co-op is working on an automated solution using artificial intelligence.

I worry about this. Travelling salesman is a solved problem. Throwing "AI" into the mix sounds like someone was sold a bridge.
Fair. I misstated my premise. "Find the math that allows zero to be treated like any other number, or, find the math that treats it like it's definitely the wrong answer."

Consistency is the key. What we have now is only locally consistent. You can break it into pieces with set theory, geometry, etc. You're never going to find a unifying equation in a version of mathematics where geometry and algebra don't mesh.
That makes perfect sense. I'm no lawyer and am only discussing this out of idle curiosity, so I'm sure my comments were a naive take. The situation I'm envisioning is an audio recording from a 2-party consent state outlining the existence of evidence. Since that cannot be the legal basis of a warrant, an officer might wander through the neighborhood talking with associated citizens to try and independently establish the need for a warrant based on various witness statements. No evidence has been falsified or created out of thin air, and there's no hope of a conviction if the suspected building doesn't contain damning evidence.

However, I fully recognize how such a process might be abused and the need for a very firm legal hand to avoid accidentally becoming an authoritarian state.
Please feel free to elaborate.
Nope. The analogy with the development of quantum sensing is actually very close: the idea of using squeezed or superposed measuring probes to increase measurement sensitivity goes all the way back to Braginsky in 1967. It took two or three decades for "demonstrations" of this effect to be realized in the lab. However, people correctly pointed out that in every case where these early demonstrations were done, it would have been much easier to carry out the same measurement using non-quantum techniques by simply scaling up the resources (usually, by increasing laser power). So these demonstrations were never actually useful for anything practical.

(Likewise, the earliest "demonstrations" of quantum computing where they factored two-digit numbers were ridiculous for several reasons, not least of which was that you could do it in a microsecond using a classical computer. Then later, when quantum supremacy calculations were done by Google, the mathematical problem chosen was completely useless for any practical application.)

It was not until 2013, 46 years after Braginsky theorized the basic principles, that a squeezed probe was used for something other than a proof-of-concept: measuring gravitational waves at LIGO. This enabled LIGO to detect ultra weak gravitational waves that would otherwise be invisible to it: https://www.nature.com/articles/nphoton.2013.177

Needless to say, it will take even longer before these techniques are used for economically relevant applications.

Labor ~60% of delivery cost: https://www.dispatchtrack.com/blog/last-mile-delivery-costs-...

If people have the option to get a package ~10% slower for ~60% cheaper, they'll take the slower option the vast majority of the time.

I would have assumed that the savings in labor would be eaten by drones using more energy, but it looks like drones can actually be significantly more energy efficient than light-trucks for delivery: https://engineering.cmu.edu/news-events/news/2022/09/16-last...

How is your sense of taste? Sensitive or no?

I use fragrance free soap and cedarwood scented body wash and deodorant. As long as you're clean you should be fine. It's not something you have to worry about if you practice basic hygiene.
The comment you're replying to is rather hyperbolic but your succinct comment is thought provoking in both sentences:

1. What is success in public health communication for the WHO? An organisation that operates globally, in many languages, at all levels of economic development, and no mechanism of generating its own revenue?

2. If you believe the WHO to have lost all credibility which group of public health experts could you consider credible?
except that one big car is not controlled by you, and you have to schedule your trip around it, rather than have the convenience of any-time availability. Not to mention you can't really carry much onboard.
A few things:

The number one, by far most effective thing you do comes well ahead of those armed, home entry thieves, and that is you make your home scream "GO AWAY!"

Get a dog

Employ great lighting

Put the home alarm stickers on, actual alarm optional, [3]

Clean up.

Etc...

The criminals work on risk reward. You can bias that equation away from favorable meaning the baddies pick another home, not yours.

From there, should you really feel this scenario could happen, maybe consider a gun. But if you do, please get gun education. One bad scenario is to have a gun, and face experienced users. Your chance of getting you, and or family, hurt go way up!

I do mostly identify with the left, but am gun friendly having grown up rural and well educated about guns.

[3] - no joke! Neighbors had done the sticker thing for roughly a decade. That, plus the other suggestions work well.
I meant Malaysia though.

On the business side, the odds of making a million dollars with an acquirable business is much, much higher than the US. But the odds of making a VC backable unicorn is much lower.

Jobs also tend to lean that way - just do whatever it takes to deliver. Skill capped low. Salary capped low. Expectations were low. What 99% uptime? The website has to come down for an hour a day for maintenance. There was a lot of untamed land for people who think things could be done just a little better. Also the era when some people were quitting jobs because they think things could be done better in Node.js or Rails than PHP.

I don't think so. I'd describe a midlife crisis as more of a fear you don't have enough time to do what's next. I've always wanted a Ferrari; if I don't get it now, when will I? I discovered bouldering in my 40's and hate the fact that I can never be competitive; if only I had started 20 years earlier... at this point, every year limits how much time I have left for those new adventures I haven't discovered yet.

I think Uncle Joe just complains because he's crabby.

I don't know, man. The last time they tested my IQ, they wanted me to come back and take the test again, because I was "out of bounds" for the test they gave me. My parents refused, because none of us cared enough to spend another $800.

And I took a _lot_ of shrooms.

Unfortunately, I majored in Philosophy. So, I'll never find the right answer to life's great mysteries. I did get fairly good at pointing out the wrong ones, though.
You may be even more startled to learn the scientific method is clear as an abstract concept, you know, those circle diagrams with "observation -> research -> hypothesis -> experiment -> analysis -> conclusions", but the details are always in flux and vary between countries, universities, publications and in time.

And the details are absolutely crucial for the end result. You come in here acting like a religious defender of the scientific method against the evil of rejecting science, but I'm not that guy. I'm not rejecting science, I'm just pointing out the obvious: modern science is producing literally noise, as seen in this chart, because of misaligned incentives and a broken peer review process, among others.

Do you even know what the "replication crisis" is? Hints of it in this very chart. And if you do, it's completely disingenuous to come attacking me for even mentioning we have a problem. And if you don't, you're not informed well enough to speak about the scientific method.

The "scientific method" should be applied to the "scientific method". Meaning when you see evidence that falsifies it, seek the causes and correct them, don't dig in your heels and go religious.
