You're claiming this study used a test that it could have a "the test result" for, but it didn't - it's a meta analysis using another meta analysis, whose different studies all used different tests:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5... <- the one in the article

> We contacted investigators for all eight prospective lead cohorts that were initiated before 1995, and we were able to retrieve data sets and collaboration from seven. The participating sites were Boston (Bellinger et al. 1992); Cincinnati (Dietrich et al. 1993) and Cleveland, Ohio (Ernhart et al. 1989); Mexico City, Mexico (Schnaas et al. 2000); Port Pirie, Australia (Baghurst et al. 1992); Rochester, New York (Canfield et al. 2003); and Yugoslavia (Wasserman et al. 1997).

I checked two of the studies from 1989:

> The test used was the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence.

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa022848

> We measured blood lead concentrations in 172 children at 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months of age and administered the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scale at the ages of 3 and 5 years.

So they didn't all take the same test[0]. This supports my claim, which is that people who believe IQ research also believe that all test results produce the same valid statistic called IQ as long as the test calls itself an IQ test.

I actually can't think of a time I've seen an online IQ arguer claim that any given test result isn't an accurate representation of an IQ. They certainly also think it about things like SAT scores and old national-IQ studies where they gave the tests in second/third languages or just made up the numbers.

[0] if it was the same test, isn't the norm process to convert from raw scores to normally distributed ones be different in different years? Not sure how that part is done.
Even as recently as 2021, I still kept around a Windows partition for the occasional game that wouldn't run on Proton. I was still able to play the majority of what I wanted, but brand new titles often required patches after release, or some games would crash on occasion.

Now? I haven't even thought about compatibility in months. I don't even look at the user tweaks anymore, when it used to be a constant factor. Granted, I don't play multiplayer games with anticheat, which last I heard was still a lingering issue. Your mileage may vary, but I completely removed my Windows partition a while ago, and haven't even thought about since.
> What's fun though is that 'farbror' can also be used (in Swedish) for any neutral/kindly spirited or acquainted old man, so maybe we're not too practical after all.

It's not new information; I've lived in Vancouver my whole life, I know well the history of the Air India disaster and all the drama surrounding the investigation and the trial.

Fair trials are indeed a cornerstone of liberal democracy, with fairness being an attribute given to those accused of a crime, not necessarily the unfortunate victims. The accused tends to get the benefit of the doubt because of the cost of the loss of freedoms that hinge on a guilty verdict. CSIS fucked up. The RCMP fucked up. But there is a standard to which prosecutions are held and the government didn't meet it.

And none of this excuses _gunning down a person sitting in their car_ which, in case you forgot, was the original topic of this discussion. It doesn't matter who they associated with, what they were involved with, or what they did.
Us lawmakers are effectively the employees of the people profiting from skirting these health issues.
That prices were falling prior to deregulation and did not fall even faster after deregulation proves that deregulation wasn’t a factor.

If you’re coasting to earth in a parachute and someone gives you a cup of coffee to drink which does nothing to change your rate of descent, would you then attribute your descent to the cup of coffee?

You even say it yourself: There’s lots of reasons… but deregulation wasn’t necessarily it especially not in the axiomatic way you say when you say that by “first principles”, regulations increase prices.

E.g., regulations and legislation around marijuana access have decreased prices, the ultimate “price” being a stint in jail for possession.
Women literally lose iron every few weeks, and many plants contain anti nutrients (phytic acid) that bind to metals, reducing their absorption, such as beans.

In general though, I wouldn't place the blame on plants, but on the low quality, highly processed diet the average person consumes.

I have ADHD, and I've noticed symptoms of low iron whenever I stray from my very low carb diet: restless legs, low energy, ADHD symptoms getting worse. Note that iron is a necessary component for the synthesis of dopamine. Given that I take amphetamine-based stimulants, which increase dopamine release as well as inhibiting reuptake, I might need a little more iron that usual.

My theory has always been that it's purely an artifact of the spoken language.

When we're saying a date out loud, we Americans tend to say, "September 21st, 2023," whereas I've noticed many of the Brits I've worked with have tended to say, "21st September, 2023," sometimes with an "of" after the day. Those spoken word orders were carried over into the written form, is my suspicion.
> I thought only the fittings would have lead, but it's the hose material

It can be either, depending on context. (Being pedantic here just so nobody comes away thinking it can only be one or the other.)

The guy who pointed it out to me was making a sales pitch for an RV, so the hose he was upselling was for potable water-- the fitting for it on the RV was presumably selected for potability as well. Connecting a white hose to the spigot on your house could mean you're passing dirty water through a safe hose.

To be real anal, with aquaculture you have to screen fittings for other metals too. Exposure to brass will kill pretty much everything in a saltwater tank.

I like this story because a lot of times when you're doing something correctly, there are "black triangles" in the beginning. People tend to want to skip the "black triangles" by using frameworks and other things that give the appearance of quick progress, but I've found they often create long-term slowdowns.

I am confused about the lack of mention about PAC learnability, VC dimensional and the work of Littlestone and Warmuth from the 1980s

PAC learnability is directly related to compressibility, with only ergotic systems being fully learnable as would be required to happen for lossless compression.

Perhaps review of Ergotic theory and PAC learnability would help convince reviewed more.

Comparing gzip, which was designed with time and space complexity constraints as StoA compared to a training transformers was called out on the author's previous work.

> Especially when there's FLOSS alternatives.

I'd guess there are more people willing to pay a little than maintain the FOSS alternatives themselves. I ran my own mailserver for a couple decades, then found myself at a place where I have more pocket change than free time and started paying someone else to manage the hassle for me. That's where I am here, too. It's worth it for me to pay $10 per month to get Kagi's benefits without having to do it myself.

At launch, if I remember correctly, Kagi relied on the Google Search API. The poor economics of that decision were a big part of why it was so expensive. Has that changed?
Doesn't that go for almost all paid web services? At least the incentive is low, and the potential backlash is high.
No doubt on some Europan version of HN right now they're posting wondering the same thing about us.
Just tried that same query without the quote marks on Kagi.

The first result is an info box from Stack Overflow showing use of the + operator to join two lists (with a link to source).

Then 4 more relevant SO posts (which are more nuanced and specific than the generic query, like concatenating into a single string, or concatenating without creating a copy.

Then a small inset box as a "blast from the past" with 4 older blog posts, at least 2 of which look pretty relevant here just from the title.

Then 5 more SO posts (again more nuanced and specific variants of the underlying question), and a digital ocean post on 6 ways to concatenate a list in Python.
I agree this is a pretty terrible look for Apple. And it's annoying as a consumer.

I've noticed that these zero days almost always affect macOS and watchOS too. You can see that new versions of both have also dropped today: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222

So as a consumer, I am having to update my phone, tablet and laptop frequently now to guard against attacks that were actively exploited in the wild.

I will be really curious to see what Apple does about this. They've already introduced a "Lockdown" mode and rapid security response updates but I would not be surprised if this galvanizes an even bigger shift.
Yeah, but you make hydrogen fuel out of water, so you're kinda just playing accounting games with the water.
That's why modern kettles can be cleaned. I clean the mineral deposits out of mine once a year or so.
I grew up with 3 large dogs in the woods. It was a good life for me and them. The dogs could pee on a tree and so could I and no-one was unconvinced. However bringing animals into human curated spaces like homes, parks, sidewalks etc I feel that animals that can not routinely sustain appropriate behaviour in human curated spaces don’t belong there.

So what do I expect? Well if my child were to pee on your leg I don’t think any of us would think that was an appropriate behaviour, or do a poo on a sidewalk, or run up and make off with food on your picnic blanket and trample with dirty feet the rest of the food there.

In the same vein if I’m walk in a cow pasture I expect to find cow poo about and I defer to the cows for space. If I’m in a “wild space” it’s on me to not pollute and to be aware of animals.

There’s much more that could be expounded in the topic but that general approach captures my general feelings about the topic.

Nah, I think they've produced sufficient evidence to shift the burden. Where's your evidence of all these deaths? This is safety critical in the way that all cars are safety critical. This is not an airplane, and this is not the FAA. If we're going to drag Tesla through the mud, as you seem hell-bent on doing, I think it should be on you to evidence this epidemic of Tesla deaths. You cannot because there is no such epidemic.

I can't believe how many people in this thread are dunking on Blade Runner 2. I thought it was phenomenal.

The "fanservicy" stuff in this movie fits really well with the rest of its themes. It's not like Indiana Jones 5 or Star Wars 9, where the directors are just pulling back old characters in the hopes that you'll overlook shoddy writing because you like the characters. K is a well-developed character, without a sense of purpose, identity, or agency, caught in the crossfire of cartoonish and 1-dimensional characters who are just using him to advance their cause. The reprisal of old characters, and the eccentricity of other characters, all of it adds to the feeling that K doesn't belong.

There's so much more that I want to say about it but I'm worried about spoiling the movie to people who haven't seen it. I'd recommend it to anyone remotely interested in it.

Here's an excellent example of what GP said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJTYQYB1JQ (long video, skip to 26:00 if you are in a hurry)

The key is that code isn't running in a vacuum. It's operating on data (or controlling systems, etc). A smaller amount of code may be operating on the data in an inefficient manner, whereas a larger amount may be doing it more efficiently.

In the above talk, this contrast is very stark, because the "more code" version does some stuff and then does the exact thing the "less code" version does, yet is faster.

This kind of thing is common enough (albeit less stark than in the above example), that "less code is faster" is not a great "default" assumption to make.
> I hope it doesn't become the default for most sites (which have no need for your actual identity) but for many use cases I can see the need for varying levels of identity tied to your real identity

Varying levels is probably the right approach.

For most sites all they need to know when I create an account is that I control the email address that I am using to sign up. If I ever again need to prove my identity to them proving that I receive email at that address is good enough.

For the site that provides my email address they need something other than email to identify me.

If I'm using an email provider that lets you bring your own domain, they could use proof that I control the DNS for that domain as proof of identity.

How to prove identity to my domain registrar? I could use an email address that is not hosted somewhere that depends on my proof of domain ownership, like gmail or my ISP, but that is probably not a good idea. Ultimately, my ability to prove my identity at most sites would depend on proving identity to my domain registrar (or to my email host if I don't have my own domain), and so making that depend on remaining in good standing with Google might not be wise.

What we need for proving identity to a domain register (or an email provider if you don't have your own domain) is something that we can be sure we can rely on, because in the worst case when you've been massively hacked and your identity has been stolen at multiple sites and services that is going to be the identity proof you count on to let you recover everything else.

For that something like the USPS identity service would be great.

That's great for you. This has nothing to do with how absurd the idea of using lead in 'hot pipes' would be.

Not drinking it doesn't prevent legionnaire disease.

I didn't say anything about drinking, I just said it comes from stagnant water.

I still use it for that reason because lead free is a bitch to work with. I only solder micro electronics though.

Lead free solder is very easy to work with when putting copper pipes together. The torch puts out a lot of heat and you don't have to worry about destroying anything near it (except for wood behind it). I can't imagine all the twisted logic it would take for someone to think using leaded solder in pipes is a good idea.
Decriminalising and regulating marijuana reduced costs to consumers - such as the cost of going to jail in return for possessing marijuana.
Suppose I buy 100 shares of $ABC for $10 (total cost for me is $1000) and then sell a call option for $1 with a strike price of (say) $50. The absolute worst case scenario is that the value of my *shares* goes to $0, in which case I've lost $999.

On the other hand, if the price shoots up to, say, $85, I'm still obligated to sell them at $50. Since I bought them at $10, I've still made $4001 profit, but I'm still dissatisfied because I would have made $7500 if I hadn't sold the call option.

What you're describing is what happens if I don't already own those shares and the price skyrockets. If the counterparty exercises their $50 option when the current price is $85, then yes, I'm obligated to buy the shares at market price and sell for a total loss of ($STRIKE_PRICE * 100) - $5000 - 1.
> Yeah, I suggesting that at the very least it could be, if it means more Americans have access to an airport and airlines served a larger percentage of the country as opposed to only the areas that generated the most profit for them.

This exact kind of logic was why, during communism here in Eastern Europe, we couldn’t find anything in stores: the government in its infinite wisdom was deciding who should build what and how much. Because the greedy companies would’ve built only whatever was profitable for them.

The predictable end-result? We were starving looking at empty shelves, while greedy capitalists in western countries were spoiling the consumers for choice.

You can side load apps, but need a Mac or a MacOS VM and XCode. But without paying the $99/year developer program fee, apps have to be reloaded every week. I paid the $99, as I grew tired of reinstalling the tethering app or GBA/PSP emulator.

Amazon doesn’t make me subscribe and I can buy 100 hours and use them over 10 years for all they care. I’ve had monthly bills that are a penny from glacier.

I don’t think this pricing is because it’s hard on Kagi. I think it’s a dark pattern that once people subscribe they just autopay forever. My dad subscribed to dial up aol until last year. He hasn’t had a phone line for 15 years.

You think kagi is going to not charge people if they do zero searches?

They’ve already made it a finite resource by charging $5/month for 300 searches. I’m already rationing. They’re just saying it’s $5 if you do 1 or 300. There’s already friction. But friction to dark pattern you into paying more.

I mean it’s their prerogative and they can charge whatever they want.

I just don’t want another monthly fee. I’d rather just pay once and be done. Sell search tokens or something.
