The truth behind the impression that marriage makes people healthier is that people with health condition are less likely to find a mate.
Especially men are dropping out of partner market if they lack fitness.
The ones who can stand marriage can also stand other adversities and generally get older. At bachelor parties in Germany there is also a tradition of letting the prospective husband do unpleasant or exhausting tasks to "prepare them" (e.g. carrying stones from one corner of the garden to the other in time etc.).

If people who lack fitness somehow get by accident into marriage they divorce with higher probability or die earlier or both.
There is the saying "a married man does not live longer, for him life just feels longer".

Afterwards, you will have a network of acquaintances who know you, they can roughly estimate what you can help them with, and some might be waiting for you to have some free time to help them solve their company's problems. And then you just pick an interesting problem and solve that. Rinse and repeat. It's not a direct path to profits, but over time it will lead to great work opportunities in areas that you enjoy working in.
Hey, the filmmakers need there work listed as well!
The 6900HX has an RDNA2 GPU with 12xCU, compared to the Deck's RDNA2 with 8xCU. The Steam Deck is also limited by the power usage, the TDP is hard capped at 15W, while the 6900HX gets 45W TDP.

My issue with using the Deck as the benchmark is that it is designed for 720p. Even connected to a 4K TV, the Steam Deck by default will force the game to run at 720p, and upscale it to 4K.

If you're okay with a bit bigger, AM5 APUs are rumored to be coming out soon with BIOS updates that added support recently. I expect those to have RDNA3 like the laptop 7840HS and other chips. It'll be the first GPU update to desktop APUs since the 5600G. I'm excited and might build a new mITX to replace my own HTPC
lol, no it’s not. Maybe one day, but not with the current tech.
Torx patent expired in 2011, so that's increasingly likely why it's taken off.

Edited to add: the "Torx Plus" design's patent expired in 2011, which was put in place in 1990 as the original Torx patent was expiring then. Some more nuance, but there ya go.
> So even if you know the grounds for denial, sometimes the reason is bullshit and flies in the face of the insurer's own policies.

This is a feature health insurance companies, not a bug. Their entire purpose is to collect as much premiums as possible while paying out a little as possible.
Set it up so if you make a mistake, you're suspended from being able to issue any denials for a month. Make a second mistake, 2 months. 3 mistakes, 4 months. 4 mistakes, 8 months... In a 40 year career each Doctor Nick would only get 9 mistakes. Maybe a month suspension for a first offense is too harsh; let's say a day instead, that's still only 14 mistakes in a career. Is the money saved from that handful of extra denials going to justify the cost of taking care of those doctors for life?

People are thinking about the form factor after the cell phone. Apple is busy training everyone to use hand gestures with the new Apple Watch and upcoming Apple Vision. Humane is going down the path of projecting on the hand and touch.
why don't have both? SD for indie games such as Factorio/Stardew Valley etc. and PSPo for AAA Sony exclusive games!
Valve says it cannot be installed in LCD models. A third party may offer a solution though.
The Portal can only stream games over your local network, though, right? I think the SD would be a better use of money because it offers the ability to play outside for the home but it's definitely personal preference.
I want a Steamdeck with four Zen4c cores and 16 CUs.

13k employees isn't small, or even medium. Giant may be a bit hyperbolic.
Agree, though mainly just for newer AAA games. For example, Hogwart's Legacy (which has breathtakingly good graphics on capable machines) on a docked Steam Deck is much worse than my top-of-the-line Linux AMD rig. I wouldn't expect a $500 handheld to match a $3,000 desktop of course, but I thought it worth mentioning.

If you play games like Shredder's Revenge or Stardew Valley, the graphics will be identical. But if you play AAA games and you care about graphics, you might want something more powerful.

That said, the Steam Deck works perfectly as a remote console. I.e. docked to my TV, and then "stream" the game from the gaming rig. Nvidia Shield is also a great device for that and a big cheaper if you never plan to undock it, but being able to play less demanding games locally is a big feature that makes the Deck worth it IMHO.
Insurers do deny some claims and authorization requests, but in most cases this doesn't line their own pockets. Rather the opposite. Most large employers are now self insured, and the medical "insurance" companies just administer claims. Due to the 85% minimum medical loss ratio imposed by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), insurers actually make more profit when they approve more treatments.

When claims or authorizations are denied it's generally because large employers have been pushing back to control their own costs. Unfortunately, many consumers don't understand this market dynamic and direct their blame in the wrong direction.
I think the way it works is that if they provide some benefits, then they would have to make them into FTE and give them all the benefits.
GPT: Gut Copilot: A supportive guide for GI patient care
As a contractor, you are an FTE... just for a different (almost always much worse) company.

And that arrangement exists solely so that the company whose work you're actually doing can fire you more easily or avoid legal liability.
Glad we have you to tell us the value of other people's writing.
that was a long time ago, under a previous owner. Automattic has seemingly tried to be a good steward of the tumblr brand, but it seems like at this point, the only people left using tumblr are unmonetizable.

the bad idea was buying tumblr. but i think automattic knew that when they bought it, and just thought it would be fun to set some money on fire for a while.
Understandable, I was hoping there was some sort of board schematics or even block diagrams to aid in fixing blown up chips and other faults. I most often see failures on the main board and of course that's the part they don't sell you.

Today’s demonstration that it’s not because you’re part of a population on the wrong end of some phenomena that you cannot be an arsehole.
Again, to repeat: the desire in the suit (to prevent employers from inappropriately using temporary labor) was valid. The EFFECT of the suit is exactly the opposite: it's forced employers to performatively discriminate against temps in every way they can find as a way to prevent the kind of finding that hurt MSFT.

Thus, it's a bad ruling. I'm all for reform of contractor labor laws, but this decision broke things.
Taking 1.2 seconds to review claims means they are without any question "doing something wrong".

"Remaining solvent" doesn't seem to be the goal, rather "maximising quarterly bonuses regardless of lives destroyed" seems a more fit description.
$700 buys a full PC I can use to code, browse the web, and run millions of desktop apps. It comes with a screen too.

This thing has no business being $700.
The trend has been for larger phones with great big screens, though.
I think it's the other way around.

I doubt they'd shut The Onion down. The brand is pretty well known at this point and that has value. If they don't want it, selling it to someone who does is likely the play.
Why would they train you? It’s the responsibility of your parent company and for all they know you’ve already been thoroughly trained for active shootings in numerous other companies you’ve worked at.

The only reason people don't like talking to computers in public is that it's distinguishable in an awkward way from talking to humans in public. That's not going to be an issue for much longer. ChatGPT voice mode is about 99% of the way there. The only remaining issue is the cadence of the conversation -- you can't interrupt ChatGPT naturally, you have to press a button.
There are some aftermarket attachments that supposedly help with this. I haven't tried any of them myself, but I get the same problem as you and I will probably try some out next week.
Beyond infuriating is when the Dr requests pre-approval then does the procedure and then they deny it. And keep denying they approved it even after the hospital has revealed they record all calls with insurance companies, and they have the recording where the procedure was pre-approved.
With C, I comfortably rely on the distribution's package management, even though it is not a rolling release or anything of that sort (Debian stable). Actually not sure how that would be the case with C, if one does not try to make things incompatible intentionally: the language and the major libraries' APIs are pretty stable there.

With Haskell (used for most tasks at work) I get the tools (GHC and Cabal) and most of the dependencies from Debian stable repositories, though loading missing ones from Hackage (but slowly moving towards not relying on Hackage at all). And keeping sources compatible with package versions from Debian repositories from version 9 to 12 (4 major versions, 6 years apart). With shell scripts, sticking to POSIX; with SQL ones, avoiding extensions and also doing fine.
It's still way too early to declare it just yet. It's still vastly inferior to their existing separated IDEs. I'm optimistic though.
You're right, but it's the world we live in, and we need to exist within the system. This is the best way to do it - and spread the knowledge among your social circles.

Credit default swaps: were initially created as a way for banks to manage their exposure to credit risk. They were essentially insurance contracts against the default of a borrower defaulting so they played and to this day play a huge role in mitigating risk -- their use in speculation etc.. only became prominent after 2008.

Collateralized debt obligations: created as a way to pool and securitize various types of debt, providing a means for financial institutions to manage risk and enhance liquidity. Just because a few banks and institutions used them to create complex tranches of debt which 'attempted' to reduce risk while massively misusing statistics and increasing it which resulted in 2008 doesn't mean that CDOs aren't useful.

Gold: I suppose you haven't heard about its applications in electronics and connectors, bonding wires, connectors, switches, thin film applications and coatings and hugely used in the production of medical devices and in the aerospace industry?

Diamonds: this one I agree semi-agree with. The only reason they have value is because the De Beers limited supply and there was demand -- but the demand is there because people use them as a status symbol and men use them to show their 'love' or commitment to their partners so this one is questionable.

> A 1080p screen should be a non-starter in 2023

I'm at a point where the screen and battery are essentially the only parts of the laptop that matter. Everyone offers a selection of ram, storages, CPU, etc. But a good screen and battery are hard to find without going to the bigger brands.
My current and previous jobs have been in Rust. They're definitely out there.
I believe you can stream to the Portal from anywhere with a solid WIFI connection. Does not necessarily need to be the same local network.
Jezebel disappearing is a great leap forward for human knowledge.
The problem with ditching the screen is that people genuinely love reading. Vast majority of my time in the day is spent reading, either on screen or paper. The product with the most variety is books, by a long shot.

They are making a device to replace the screen, yet the screen is a rich source of information! People love screens! Screens can present information non-linearly and also interactively.

While voice and sound is always linear.

And yes, this thing has a display, but it's low fidelity and cumbersome.
Every Bill Gates article reads as a ChatGPT generated fluff piece.

Also, this kind of throughput in Java 11 in 2021 while Java 17 was already out is a bit meh.

Nowadays, with Java 21 and virtual threads, results might be quite different (and the default GC has changed as well).

I agree with the graphs being unreadable. The tables in the benchmark article are easier to read.
The Switch is 1280x720 and the Steam Deck is 1280x800. They're not the same size.

I think this might be an early step into the concept of people building portable devices like they build custom PCs and I love it.
even with the supported plug-ins it's still not the same either. intellij with python plugin has just enough differences with it that it throws off some of my coworkers who use pycharm.
I wonder how I missed that book. Thanks!
They're not scientifically educated. They're not a scientific journal. They publish commentary, without judgment, including outright fiction.

Ironically, I suspect that many of the same people criticizing them for accepting the paper would also accuse them of censorship if they'd rejected it. I've seen a great many people stand up for the rights of people to lie and insist that it was obligatory to carry that lie, even if they knew it was false.

Big opportunity for one of the big car rental agencies to come out looking great by advertising their "privacy focus". They could advertise to customers that they promise/certify that any personal data is wiped between rentals. Sort of like all the cleanliness guarantees that came about right after Covid hit.

Unethical according to your system of ethics. I never claimed that was part of my ethical system.

Unless you’re religious or something and believe in a global definition of ethics that applies to everyone, there’s no real point in telling everyone what’s unethical. Is it unethical to you? Great! Then you don’t do it. I will do what I want.
Wikipedia tells me the original Torx patent[1] was filed in the 1960s, so anything related should have long since expired. (There’s apparently also a “Torx Plus” patented[2] in the early 1990s around the time the original patent was expiring, but I don’t believe anybody deliberately chooses that one. Expired in 2011.)

SEC Charges Co-CEOs of Bitwise for Falsifying Documents While Raising $70M
The onion's most viewed videos are from over a decade ago when they put actual effort into their content. Now their most recent videos get a few thousand views whereas their older content used to get a few million.

The quality of their content has really fallen off a cliff and their sarcastic political takes are usually pretty dumb now.
If you study the history of how the system came to be, it turns out to be a combination of: Drs like money, and (like most things in the US) racism.
Closures like this are a Rorschach test-- many people are going to think it supports their view because the lack of opposing evidence is more visible than the lack of objective supporting evidence. As far as I can tell, Gawker media's strategic shortcomings damaged all of their subsidiaries, and Jezebel's style, content strategy, and cachet was more of a fad than a broad cultural shift. I'm open to actual supported evidence that this is anything more significant than that, but so far I've seen a bunch of people assuming that it's evidence of something larger and more significant than the evidence supports.

“At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master? And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him. And he said to them: Throw her down headlong: and they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her. … And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities of her hands.”

Yeah could you f**ng not? I pay taxes and insurance to get proper medical guidance, not answers from a bot. Public healthcare in the uk is nearly dead anyway and their patch fixes are to use “virtual” nonsense, while private healthcare is riddled by “ai” that does nothing but annoy customers. BabylonHealth, a former uk ai “healthcare” darling, rightfully went under because among many things it was gibberish.
Any specific criticisms?

Forgive my ignorance, but wouldn’t the Omegle brand and domain name be worth a considerable amount - with the caveat that it be sold to a responsible buyer?

It seems like the creator is in a rough patch and faced rising social and financial problems from Omegle, and it has seen a BIT of a decline, but it’s a name we all know, and the image/use/etc can be turned around and the creator could even still be involved in whatever capacity he wishes.

Just seems kind of a waste to replace it with a goodbye page.
Some government agencies really get it right. Strange as it sounds, I've always had positive interactions with the Secret Service. I've worked events where the president spoke, and I used to live next door to an embassy, so they patrolled the block more often than the local police.

It won't. People have never defeated a useful new technology that destroys jobs. People widely like using these tools. You'd need to ban their use worldwide. If the US bans AI, China and other countries will become dominant in AI. Assuming AI continues to improve, there's an extreme advantage for any country that has it.
A friend back in college absolutely hated the ThinkPad keyboards, (thought they were too deep and bouncy) and loved Macbook's butterfly keyboard when it came out, marveling at the short travel and crisp feeling of it. It's indeed quite subjective.
This type of sentiment is not valuable at all and overly pessimistic. Current AI tech is not very likely to replace work that requires a modicum of logical reasoning and the tech to do so has no known path forward as of now.
>What are some AI-proof(ish) industries we can jump into after software engineering is drastically reduced?

Hospitality will always be a thing. There's a reason why the Enterprise-D still has a human bartender that makes real drinks, even though it's completely superfluous. People will always want to be served by other humans, even if AI Android tech became perfect.
There's always a need for grave diggers.
It has nothing to do with it being a passport, when you tell a custom agent you come for work and you work for company X they can ask for some proof. Nothing more to it.
Well sure, we’re consuming more fossil fuels because they’re cheaper. Nothing I’ve seen suggests we can switch primary production to clean sources. It would be more expensive. But that’s far from a hard limit.

I’m genuinely curious if someone is credibly speculating we are unable, versus economically unwilling, to replace fossil fuels with clean options.
Yeah, the future is a big question. Here is quote from some mail:

> As said in the announcement, RustRover is available as a plugin to IntelliJ IDEA during the preview period. However, we have yet to determine whether this will be the case once we’ve released RustRover.
This is because we’re still not certain whether users will need the plugin or whether a dedicated Rust IDE will be sufficient. Around the release time, when we make our decision.
We’ll also consider the cases when IntelliJ IDEA licenses were primarily bought for Rust development with the IntelliJ Rust plugin and which options we can suggest to our users in these cases. Please stay tuned!

My understanding is that the patents for Torx (and Torx Plus) have expired. They're an ISO standard, "hexalobular internal" (which is much more fun to say).
