> If garlic is so obviously effective as the other commenter claims then there should be plenty of supporting evidence, it's not that hard or expensive to test for it, yet, this meta-analysis could only find a single good quality study that showed some effect.

This line of reasoning is fraught with pitfalls. An inferred absence of True Scotsmen to use in an argument by authority doesn't prove a negative. Add that to the fact that there's a selection bias in favor of studies that appear to disprove commonly held beliefs (and generally almost no interest in studies that confirm them) and you really have to use more judgement if you're trying to get at the truth and not just win the argument.

I would agree. I would phrase it differently, as "cancer" is a human defined term. Our bodies are constantly fighting abnormal cell growth.
God help us. It's not his fault, to be clear, but God help us.

The problem is the dogmatism of it all. If you point to a simpler and a more obvious solution, your coworkers will ridicule you and turn you into an old man pariah.
I might just try to ignore this comment... My biggest worry is precision in placing things, I make my own blueprints but I normally trying to start from scratch for each new game (just my playstyle, not saying it's good/smart) and it being fiddly on the deck. I played a few games with only mouse support and quickly abandoned them since it got old fast. I know Factorio has great keyboard support though and they do have a Switch version so maybe I'm worrying about nothing. My other worry would be performance since my older laptop has some trouble when my base got large enough (with mods) but maybe I'm just making excuses.
1. I've updated the section now: https://gpus.llm-utils.org/cloud-gpu-guide/#so-which-gpus-sh... - that should answer it. Basically 1x 3090 or 1x 4090 is an ideal set up for stable diffusion, 1x A100 80GB is an ideal setup for llama 2 70b GPTQ (and you can use much smaller GPUs or even CPUs if needed, for smaller llama 2 models)

2. No, they don't have access to the internet unless you build something that gives them access

> "if the product is free, then you are the product" but that's not entirely accurate. You are the source of raw materials.

Yup. You're one of suppliers, $freemiumco are middle men, and consumer product companies are consumers. Which means you can raise prices and dilute contents, currently without even issuing a Product Change Notification. That isn't a bad position other than there are quite a few alternative suppliers, only slightly less than everyone thinks there are.
Beauty != ornamentation. While Bauhaus looks dystopian, there are art styles which do away with ornamentation and look beautiful, such as Japanese wabi sabi. See e.g. <https://hypebeast.com/image/2014/11/kyoto-guide-to-wabi-sabi...>

The main thing making Bauhaus dystopian is its alienation of humans from nature. In contrast, wabi sabi emphasises connection with nature, which creates a very different effect, while still being minimal.

Edit: another difference is approach to irregular shapes. Bauhaus bans them, while wabi sabi embraces them. I think that too makes the first dystopian and the latter human.
Yeah, that was an unexpected turn of events.
Sensitive features like screenshots, input methods, screen locking and whatnot are behind extensions (or portals). I'm not familiar with the state of GNOME/KDE/Flatpak, but at least on the wlroots side of things it is true that currently these extensions are enabled and accessible by any process that can talk to the Wayland socket (breaking those security benefits, as you say). This is changing with protocols such as security-context that allow a sandbox engine like Flatpak (or your custom scripts) to restrict what features apps can use. (so your browser can't register an input method, or some random app can't lock the screen)

Wow, that Saw Patrol tie-in is coming in earlier than expected.
As having been in a LTR with someone who worked in the film industry, Hollywood is just a giant salt mine that a handful get lucky and make it. The little people on strike are fighting over table scraps.

The strike does affect businesses supporting the industry, however the studios can wait it out because they have the deeper pockets.

With tens of thousands of things to watch from various sources, people will find other things to watch or tune out.

If the strike does end soon, it’s because the strikers will cave to the studios just to get the industry back to work.
Also you can do the same thing horizontally, with more passengers and over greater distances. GoA 3 services from the 1980s and then GoA 4 services a bit later

[Grade of Automation 3 services don't need a human "driver" but they're not safe enough that we can just leave them to be used unattended like an elevator, there's a trained member of staff somewhere, probably helping tourists or checking tickets or something - the GoA 4 services are unattended, like an elevator there are humans but they're far away in a control center and you're safe enough while you wait for a human to come to where you are and fix whatever extraordinary problem the automation couldn't handle e.g. there's no electricity so you can't go anywhere.]
The Picasa photo organizer by Landscape, which Google purchased in 2004 and then killed eight years ago, is still the best photo organizer I have found.

It is fast, light-weight, and intuitive, and totally functional so long as you don't ask it to handle newer image or video formats.
I wish architects could design decent residential houses at scale but alas, costs are often the overriding driver. Even still, it seems like many houses are designed from the inside out today.

Some of the ways post modernism has influenced these kids of things is via the new materials available. So we end up with a lot of things that are approximations of modernist and earlier things. Like doors and windows. A modern cheap door that is stamped plastic and filled with styrofoam is made to look like the way we remember doors looking. It may have fake wood grain to imply it's wood like doors were always made. It will have styles and rails like classic doors but they serve no purpose other than to look approximately like an actual door looked like.

Or corners, as you pointed out. A stone corner would use coining to achieve structural integrity. But now a stone veneer wall approximates that technique because we just think that's how stone walls should look. It just results in everything looking very inauthentic and I think that has an effect on us. Like comparing a real European town built hundreds of years ago to something that imitates one at a theme park. Uncanny valley territory.

New Chrome feature makes it easier to grab full-resolution frames from videos
> I avoid to click anything about cookies' authorisation, i.e. if a page present that kind of requests I immediately close the page itself. At the and, I verified that cookies are presente on browser's storage

I have recently had to implement some of these banners. Here’s what I learned: click reject.

The way America’s version of the cookie banner law (not sure about EU) works is that cookies are default allowed. They are set before the banner even shows. Rejecting the cookies then sets a cookie that you’d like cookies rejected. The cookies remain, but the banner’s scripts block tracking requests based on those cookies on subsequent requests.

So if a site uses GA and you reject cookies, you still get and keep a GA cookie. But the cookie banner later turns GA’s javascript into “text/plain” so your browser doesn’t execute it. This is what [at least some of] the banners mean by “reject cookies”.

Yes it’s stupid and confusing. Possibly on purpose.
I surely can't be the only one who hears "radioactive boar" and thinks "superhero origin story".
lol Australia? Like you said they all vaccinated with few covid deaths… then they had a mass die-off.

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/how-are-they-ever-going-to-expl...

Why’d everyone die AFTER mass vaccination? Are you saying Australia didn’t have more excess deaths in 2021/2022 after widespread vaccination? Where’s your data?

Look at the charts in the article. Does that look like a safe vaccine? Even mainstream media says it’s unprecedented how many died there https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/health/health-problems/exc...

Of course they never say it’s the vaccine but how else do you explain it?
The source for Germany's CO2 emissions is a pro-coal-miner stance, not an anti-nuclear position: Germany happily threw away a 120k workers strong photovoltaics industry while protecting a 40k workers strong coal mining industry.

The anti-nuclear position comes from radioactive boars and even more-so from the fuck up that is the Jülich experimental reactor, a "safe by design" system that by now took 40 years of maintenance while taking another 80 before it can be dismantled.

Politics and industry have demonstrated that they can't ensure safe nuclear operation in Germany. USSR (1986) and Japan (2011) just drove the point home that it's not a specific German failing.

(Case in point: the anti-nuclear movement in Germany started in the 1970s. Unless you believe in time travel, those big incidents at most fueled the flames)

They don’t scale well though. In bigger bases items are measured in train loads, and bots can’t keep up in terms of throughput or power consumption. Building a tiny bot-only cell is still fun though!
Note by definition antioxidants are chemically reactive substances that want to react with ROS but may also want to react with other things.

Your body uses oxidation to do important tasks. For instance one way immune system cells destroy invaders and cancer cells is by oxidizing then to death.

To second order your body has antioxidant systems that try to maintain the right level of activity. N-Acetyl Cysteine affects the metabolism of

for instance and what your body does with it in the liver. Your body should try to maintain the right level of antioxidant activity as much as it can if you are consuming more or less vitamins.
Yes, using a compositor. I use kwin's compositing with Intel graphics, no tearing.
One of the reasons that Muslim rule over Spain is regarded as colonization, but not the earlier Visigothic rule, is that the Goths had very little cultural impact on local society. For example, the Iberian Romance varieties were never replaced by Gothic, rather the Goths quickly assimilated to Iberian Romance. In Andalusia, on the other hand, there was a gradual process in urban areas of shift from Romance to Arabic that was only reversed after Muslim rule ended. In religion, the Visigothic rulers soon converted from the Arian Christianity upheld by the Goths to the Nicene Christianity of the local population, while under Muslim rule the inverse often happened and Christian Andalusians converted to the Muslim faith of their rulers.
I received last such email about a year ago for a VM in either free-tier or like the cheapest one available. This probably has to do with VM flavor you choose as well as with the time you created it.

Yes, agreed there. With that being said, I'm not paying for the service so I can't complain too much.
And I think that's been around for at least 8 years - I remember looking at it in 2015 - or maybe 2016(?). Was working with a small startup that needed a small bit of hosting, and they were trying to do it all at AWS because... name cachet. They were getting lost in trying to cobble together lambda, s3 and some other stuff to basically host some JS and images. I suggested Linode (had a working example) but "that's not enterprise" (this was a small pre-revenue startup testing ideas). I then suggested (and setup) a lightsail instance for $5/month doing what was needed, and it too was rebuffed as not enterprise(y) enough. Even being 'at AWS' wasn't enough to start with - they wanted to hit the ground running with lambdas, microservices, multi-region load balancing and complex IAM stuff.

Stated justification was "If we don't bake this in now, it'll be harder to do later", but it was mostly a couple fokls in charge wanted to learn new stuff (someone said that out loud later, confirming my concerns about resume-driven-development).

EDIT: FWIW, my couple small experiences with lightsail itself were fine. Seems like a decent onramp to ease in to the AWS ecosystem, if that's on your roadmap.
PC power supplies can be in the 2200W range already. What's wrong with that?

The external power you're talking about would be like 1 volt at hundreds of amps. What's the point of that? The connector and cable would be huge, think copper feeders.
The existing set up where a higher voltage (12v) is stepped down to all dynamic target voltages (Vcore, memory etc) is fine and there isn't anything wrong with that. No need to reinvent the wheel. I don't want 1 external power supply per graphics card, what is the point of a modular internal power supply then?

In fairness, PHP prior to v7 was either a dumpster fire or a dirty bomb depending on how far back you go. When folks called it a fractal of bad design, it 100% deserved it, and folks rightly went looking elsewhere to solve their problems.

PHP is a phenomenally better language today, and folks really should take another look, but let's not pretend it was always anywhere near as good as it is today. Not by a long shot.

Also, don't judge NodeJS based on the React ecosystem. The sheer mass of APIs and wrappers needed to get a React-based system running is no one's fault but the React community. Stockholm Syndrome at its finest.

All of those things will happen whether we ban legal ownership of firearms or not.

Metal detectors in school can still come in handy for things like knives, unless you intend to ban those too. Way more people die from car accidents and drug overdoses, and those numbers don't have millions of legal self defense encounters to balance them out. Cops will always be concerned about their safety. You can kill someone if you simply gain physical control over them. An unarmed person charging you is just as dangerous as an armed one, in terms of use-of-force continuum.
I thought that might be your reaction to the Salk Institute. I have a feeling prisoners would prefer the Salk institute to their current conditions. I don't think you are giving any Creedence to the personality types that might want to work at the Salk Institute.

My ducks are in the row and there is no pendulum swing. There is one only in people's heads. People who didn't learn the tools then (when JS era started) and are refusing to learn them now (when more and more focus is on SSR).

People also miss the fact that, even if RSS wasn't hugely popular among mainstream users, it was certainly a widely-supported part of the web ecosystem. And it's more satisfying to rage at Google for RSS's relative decline than it is to blame the mainstream consumers who never used it or who moved to modern social media.

You might have cancer at a subclinical level years before you get symptoms.

My issue with robots has always been that you build your base in one way, then get some robots ready... then you realize you didn't leave enough space in the right places to robotize your base :p.

I think next playthrough I should use a city block template, those will have placeholders for roboports. However, I think they don't get placed if you haven't unlocked the technology yet, so a QoL improvement would be to be able to place a placeholder or spacer instead. Or just allow the placement of a ghost without researching the tech.

I've used the city block design blueprints in an attempt to do the Space Exploration mod; it worked alright, except that the templates had concrete flooring. That was a lot of concrete!

But anyway, next playthrough I should make a robot driven base, at least for anything but the high volume base materials like iron, copper and steel. Maybe I should build or get some blueprints for a main bus as well, especially for liquids.
Yeah, as you may gather from my first post, I am not advocating anyone to switch if there's nothing in Wayland for them. But at least with wlroots-based compositors (a decent number of them, but notably not GNOME and KDE which use Mutter and Kwin respectively,) you can definitely do this sort of thing relatively easily. It'd probably be a good idea if every compositor got on the same page here so that the experience is consistent. I'm not sure how to do this kind of thing with every compositor.

Oncall for small engineering teams is not easy. With less than 6 people on a rotation, I think one just has to accept some lower guaranteed uptime, by having hours when there is no oncall coverage, at the time when the system sees the least customer usage.

To make oncall scheduling work better for everybody, once you have at least 4 oncall engineers for a rotation, check out https://oncallscheduler.com. it doesn't solve Oncall compensation, but it makes planning for vacations, fairness about who works Oncall on holidays, and such, work well.
We built a Power over Data Line (PoDL) compliant device and power supply as part of a one-month 'sink or swim' approach to designing and testing new hardware, and getting to look at maturity of the 10Base-T1 ecosystem.
