I think the key point here is that for the vast majority of knowledge workers their knowledge work isn't really supposed to result in "published knowledge product" ever, and lack of such a product doesn't imply that they're ineffective since they can be wildly successful at their goals anyway, since why would their goals include producing such a product?

IMHO people taking notes for personal reasons (or building personal knowledge bases just as external memory for their personal expertise) far outnumber people who do that with the intent to compile those notes in some knowledge product for others.

Sure, some people take notes for a book or build a knowledge base that they'll summarize for others in a course or essay(s). But people with such intent are few, so these aren't the central applications of such tools, the stereotypical knowledge workers - like lawyers, doctors, engineers - all mostly apply their knowledge (including digital notes) not to produce or publish something but rather to solve a problem or provide an informed answer, and equating all this "non-producing" knowledge work to intellectual procrastination is quite insulting.
Yes. I just expect raycasting to work allmost as good as possible, not on 50% to become a unnecessary blocker. But they say, they are going to fix it with some priority.

At 14 I discovered that tiny response times are essential by observing terminal echos from a TCP client and server connection. I could clearly see a 50ms difference, down to about 15ms if I recall correctly. It wasn't until years later that I discvered high response+refresh monitors and from then on anything under 120FPS is just laggy if it's a game.
Element X actually runs really well on macOS already on Apple Silicon; I regularly use it as my desktop app whenever Element Web is having... issues. It would be amazing to plonk matrix-rust-sdk into Element Web and switch Electron for Tauri or something... but one thing at a time.

What's better about it? I ask because I've been using `Plug` since I switched from pathogen (what feels like) an eternity ago and I don't really know any reason to switch because it just sort of works...? Every few years or whatever I'll overhaul the config (not a choice but it just sort of happens) and I'm curious whether switching plugin management plugin has a point.
Apple Weather is better, but not as good as DarkSky. And DarkSky is gone.

It’s one of the few apps I bought and it’s frustrating that Apple bought them, picked a few features, killed the rest, and shut everything down.

I’m not even complaining about killing the api, that makes sense since Apple doesn’t care about this.

But Apple Weather’s maps don’t work as well, the precipitation views aren’t as detailed, the user supplied precipitation reports are gone. It just does different things.

But, yes, Apple Weather is now a better app because the acquisition.
> Your plane is up at 30000 feet and your engines are out. The nearest airport is 47 nautical miles out. The plane has a glide ratio of 15. Will you make it?

Nautical miles and statute miles are different units anyway, so my initial assertion--that you would never convert flight altitude to statute miles--is still correct.

Glide ratio varies according to speed; the plane might have a glide ratio of 15 at one speed but a different glide ratio at a different speed. So in practice, the real world version of this word problem is more complex than you make it out to be, and pilots' handbooks will commonly have tables of glide distances to consult for this reason.

> If I wanted to know the KE of a 1500 kg, 100 km/h car, I would first need to convert to m/s.

You've adequately demonstrated that metric is more convenient for arbitrary word problems that you've provided. Real world applications is what I'm less convinced about.
What's also hilarious is his reaction to some creepy looking computer generated art/animation which for some reason they chose to make look like it had a disability.

“I am utterly disgusted,” he says. If you really want to make creepy stuff, you can go ahead and do it, but I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”

> modulate my (and probably other's) perception of India's justification

This whole controversy was unplanned.

There have been ongoing discussions between the Five Eyes and India about this hit and the whole Khalistan issue for months now, but Trudeau's hand was forced after the Globe and Mail (a newspaper that leans Conservative) gave him a 24 hour heads up that an article about this was about to be published.

Someone leaked, and now it's a cluster f.
Preface: I'm a hetero white male physician. I care for an underserved 99.9+% non-white population that has an incredibly robust history of trauma due to while males (I live and work on the Navajo Native American reservation, USA). That said, I was really expecting more content, but this article just seems like more "hetero while male bad" without many specifics cases, details, or statistics.

The (only?) linked study[0], referring to women presenting with symptoms of heart disease (and referring to it as a "missed diagnosis" in the following sentence) used professional actors and actresses to portray symptoms (not looking at real patients with real symptoms or real outcomes).

- If my interpretation of figure 1 is correct, heart disease was considered more frequently in women and mental health diagnoses considered more frequently in men.

- According to table 3, for people 75 and older, heart disease was the final "most certain diagnosis" more frequently for women than men, and the mental health causes were exactly equal.

If a diagnosis is being considered, but ultimately decided against, could that have anything to do with differing baseline rates[1]? Particularly if risk at a younger age were in part sex-dependent[2]?

The study authors discuss this possibility (and even make a Bayes reference), and begin their concluding paragraph with "In summary, our results support the hypothesis that gender
alone is not sufficient to produce bias in the diagnosis of patients with CHD symptoms." That part didn't make the article. (Also, I'm not sure that I agree with the authors statement that the difference in risk is independent of age -- CDC data[4] shows both sexes relatively sky-rocketing at about 80).

Now I'm not saying that "medical gaslighting" is not a thing, but AFAICT "gaslighting" almost always implies bad intentions (I don't have access to the full text of the BMJ article discussing the term[3]). I'm quite sure that there are some physicians with bad intentions, but I think that's the exception. Based on my experience in the field, I would guess there are many more of us who misdiagnose due to being lazy, tired, stupid, or apathetic -- but I still think that's different than gaslighting. *

What I am saying is that this article does a poor job making the case and tries to misrepresent its referenced study.

* I would speculate that even more common is physicians that are bad at admitting "I don't know" or "that's out of my scope of training" -- for example, I'm an emergency physician, so I know relatively little about most medical conditions that generally won't kill or permanently disable you if not acted on immediately. For better or worse, I readily confess "I don't knows," usually phrased as "you deserve the expertise of a doctor that knows more about X."

I thought that Japan had some of the most permissive laws in the world for that. (I'm making no moral judgement, only legal)

I don't really (honestly) understand this critique.

What's wrong in being honest?

Goro works are clearly inferior to his father's works on many levels.

He's no amateur, that's for sure, but he's no master either.

Among the best Japanese animation artists, he's probably average.

He's no Takahata, Oshii, Otomo, Anno, Watanabe, Hosoda by a long shot.

Hayao worst rated works on Rotten Tomatoes are "The cat returns" and "The wind rises" and I completely agree on that, with a rating of 88%.

Goro worst is "Earwig and the Witch" that I have not watched with a 28%, "Tales From Earthsea" that I've seen and did not like much with 38% and the best is "From Up on Poppy Hill" with 87%, which was good, but not "Spirited Away", "Princess Mononoke" or "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" good.

And Nausicaa itself is not as good as a movie as the manga, that is an order of magnitude better!

But these aren't great ergonomic tools, so it's not a good thing that Kakoune "requires" them, it's rather a testatment of how much it's lacking on its own

Security is not the only dimension that matters, resource efficiency and scalability matter too. A big driver in the use of C++ is that it is more efficient than Python, Java, etc by an integer factor in real workloads. No one wants to increase data center sizes by 4x (or more) to run the same workload. Being that wasteful isn't environmentally friendly.
Also apparently wiretaps by Canada’s intelligence agency had been erased before they could be used as evidence.

I don't think buyers are actually going to pay enough for the sellers to justify the added cost. Remember that the buyers have to pass their costs on to their end customers (e.g. consumer phone purchasers), and those people won't accept all phones becoming $50 more expensive or whatever.

Also consider the cultural context. The culture of hardware manufacturers is much different than that of software vendors. They don't view software as a product, but more a necessary evil to make their hardware work with existing software infrastructure. They want to spend as little time on it as possible and then move onto the next thing.

I'm not endorsing this status quo, merely trying to explain it.
Some performance critical software cannot afford garbage collection.

NREL disagrees, and states that battery storage is sufficient to hit 80% renewables penetration. Seasonal storage remains to be solved for.

> The main scenarios modelled show how very low-carbon and high renewable energy grids can be enabled, in the range of 80% by 2050. However, to get to 100% decarbonisation scenarios, it’s very likely variable renewable energy (VRE) paired with diurnal storage will not be enough. Seasonal storage — with durations of days, or even weeks or months — from technologies like hydrogen could help push the grid to fully carbon-free, especially if they can become cost-competitive.

You could also just burn fossil gas for that last bit if direct air carbon capture gets cheap enough to use the atmosphere as the battery, pulling the carbon from combustion back underground in stable state when clean energy is available and cheap (and is why Climeworks' Orca installation runs in Iceland on clean geothermal power). Enough sunlight falls on the Earth every 2 minutes to power humanity for a year, so we can kick the can on the last, hardest part until we get there.

I was the same way. Then I broke down and paid the $5. Best app purchase I ever made. One time fee and used it for years. I wish there were more apps like this.
Nearly everybody is getting the definition of "food desert" wrong. It varies somewhat depending on who is defining it but for non-rural areas it is generally along the lines of a low income area with no sources of affordable healthy food within walking distance or reasonably affordable public transit distance and most people don't have other good transportation options.

Places where nearly everyone has a working car and can generally afford gas, whether rural or not, generally won't be food deserts unless stores selling affordable healthy food are all pretty far away.

> Over the past 100 years, Americans' mean IQ has been on a slow but steady climb. Between 1900 and 2012, it rose nearly 30 points, which means that the average person of 2012 had a higher IQ than 95 percent of the population had in 1900.
It's possible that they are building a game in which players can program bots that only know the state of the world by performing raycasts, as if it were a sensor of sorts. That would be a valid reason to require such an amount of raycasts per bot - although I probably would not run them every frame, but rather spread the load throughout multiple frames.
hahaha ok, but that product is a hot-water heater built into your kitchen tap to do away with your hot water kettle. Presumably, that's not plumbed to your teapot with a lead boiler and faucet. (weird, "plumbed" means "leaded")
In the past it was common knowledge not to. It's of much more uncertainty as house plumbing has changed.

Head of produck and co-founder at MotherDuck here. Happy to answer any questions!

One minor correction on the title. While we're partners with DuckDB, and they're shareholders in MotherDuck, it is MotherDuck who raised the money, not DuckDB. On the plus side, we avoid the ethical dillemma of many OSS companies associated with being open-core - DuckDB is open, MotherDuck is closed (although contributing to open).
Does it? Most of what I’ve seen amounts to assume races are have equal inherent IQ distributions, given test results are unequal the assumption is then tests must be inherently biased (examples of recent immigrant non-English speaking Jews improving their IQ scores as they learned English) or differences are caused by socio economic factors. That logic would fall apart if the original assumption wasn’t made, but anything starting with a prior that races can have different IQ distributions is thrown out as racist. The progressive book ‘The Genetic Lottery’ kind-of makes the case for polygenic factors considered evenly distributed amongst the races as a basis for that assumption but in my view their logic has a number of holes in it. If there is a better treatment of the topic I’m genuinely interested in reading it.

We tried this China and the WTO. It was not a good strategy.
I agree, but consider that the buyer must also consider what the end-customer cares about. The buyer is not going to pay the chip manufacturer extra for mainlined (or at least open source) drivers unless their end-customers are asking for that (since those costs will be passed on to the customer). And outside of niche products like Librem's, the vast majority of customers don't even know about chipset drivers, let alone care.
The road is pretty steep on either side of the bridge and it's a small one lane (IIRC) bridge. At night I definitely think it could be difficult to see that the bridge was out until it was too late.

Edit: According to articles linked elsewhere in the comments the bridge was privately owned and the owners are being sued along with Google.

As far as ownership, I am no expert but I think the land under the road would be government owned (not sure if state, county, or city) because there's a public right-of-way to ensure houses in the subdivision have access to public roads. However in the absence of a HOA the property owners within the subdivision are collectively responsible for road maintenance. It's part of the paperwork when you buy a house. But I don't know if they're required to maintain it to a specific standard... And in this particular case the neighborhood in question is pretty middle class (middle class in a LCOL area). I'm guessing a bridge repair isn't cheap, so it's very plausible that the neighborhood literally couldn't afford it. This definitely seems like a thorny topic, not something where it's easy to lay the blame at the feet one individual or entity.
I believe the SEC went after capital one analysts who used information capital one has via credit card usages at stores to trade against companies not capital one. While one might say that the info that capital one had was proprietary (as they deffinitely use it for other things), its hard to view it ast hurting people one has a fiduciary duty to, but I believe they still won the conviction.
