I don't see dilution anywhere on that page, and increasing volume of administration at a lower concentration to achieve the same effective dose does not alter the dose itself. You are not interpreting TI correctly.

Edit: further, to your comment about "prescription strength" nomenclature, look at section 14 of the Cialis/tadalafil prescribing information, IIRC, table of clinical studies, where they have the second two outcomes of the clinical studies broken down by dose. Efficacy increases pretty directly with increasing dose, and these are where the observed side effects show up. It seems like patients may well self-escalate. Maybe the OTC countries have public data on this?

AI will replace devs who write code that doesn't matter. For any technology where the inputs must be understood (i.e. any regulated industry), good devs will be in more demand than ever.

I think this is a good thing. So much human potential and talent is wasted writing the next Facemash algorithm, when we as a society have some pressing problems to solve in:

- climate change

- medicine

- healthcare reform

- defense and aerospace

- water scarcity

- renewable energy

and a whole host of other things. If even 10% of the smart devs working on dumb problems were to switch to these fields, we would see noticable progress.

Let AI write the next billion-dollar photo-sharing app. Go work on something meaningful instead.
> You can perfectly self-host while using an outgoing SMTP provider.

That's mostly selfhosting, not fully selfhosting. I full selfhost my email, I 100% control as much of it as is possible to do. When I send an email to someone, it goes from my client to my server and out to the recipient's server.

FWIW i don’t try to use it for this. mostly i use it to automate writing code for tasks that are well specified, often transformations from one format to another. so yes, with a solution in mind. it mostly just saves typing, which is a minority of the work, but it is a useful time saver
That would of course be fine.

But then imagine that because human memory is not able to keep all that information straight, you made copies of all those newspapers.

And then you started charging people for your knowledge.

And then imagine that as part of your knowledge service, you would copy snippets from the times word for word and give that to your clients without citation and pass it off as your own.

I did the same. I could have tolerated the random delivery issues, but my immediate family members were understandably irked the moment things didn't work perfectly.

After running the service for 20+ years, I was tired of it. Tired of the continual war against spam. Tired of annoying corner cases that I had to fix on my end because the giant corp sending demonstrably malformed messages to me wasn't going to correct their system. Tired of this week's Mysterious New RHBL breaking connectivity. Tired of not being able to effectively filter email the same way giants do, because I only see a tiny sliver of messages and can't identify bulk senders.

I appreciate and respect anyone still hosting their own email. I did it for many, many years, and feel their pain. It wore me out.

(The nail in the coffin was Apple offering free email hosting for iCloud+ users. It checked the right boxes for my family's needs, at an incremental price of $0.00 over what I was already paying them.)
This is a much more complete implementation, but I took a crack at this a while ago using compute shaders in Godot 4, if that's interesting to folks!

I don't see the problem. You can have a class for accounts, a class for customers, and a class for the links between accounts and customers. Those classes are peers; there's no need for one to be the winner. Most OOP languages also have ORM frameworks that can help here. I've built stuff like that in Java and in practice it's just not issue.

"Canadian work experience" is a generic reason often given to people who the company doesn't want to hire. It has happened to people I know. There can be many reasons:

- Candidate's actual experience isn't relevant enough.

- Candidate's personality.

- Candidate's appearance.

- Candidate's communication skills.

Why would I give you the real reason when I can provide a generic reason and stay out of trouble?

You appear to be viewing software licensing as a zero sum game. How has Hetzner's use of open source virtualization software harmed the original author of QEMU, Fabrice Bellard? Back in the early days of QEMU, there were bugs. Lots of bugs, as hardware emulation is complicated. By releasing QEMU under the GPL, the project gained lots of users, and some of those users started fixing bugs. Because Fabrice chose to license QEMU under the GPL, users were forced to publish those fixes back to the community. Companies that decided to use and build on QEMU made it better. Parasites only take, while FOSS makes sure that users give back to the original project.

Why is it that software developers, like Fabrice Bellard, choose to use FOSS licenses rather than a software available license? Do they receive zero benefit from choosing a FOSS license? No. They receive the benefit of other people using, and then improving the software they originally developed, which in turn feeds back into building a stronger community that supports the software.

SAMS has barriers to entry that FOSS does not, and it fails to protect certain developer interests that FOSS licences protect. Those barriers to entry and rights matter to authors of FOSS. Developers who believe in FOSS will never adopt SAMS licenses, because SAMS doesn't protect the rights those authors value in the way that licenses like the GPL do. You're free to use whatever "software available" license you want, but people like me that value what FOSS gives back to us will never come around to your viewpoint because you do not value what we value.

It allowed people to see the difference between drum machines and humans. Drummers could practice to sound more like the ‘perfect’ machines, but more importantly the best drummers learned how to differentiate themselves from machines. The best drummers actually became more human. Listen and look at Nate Smith - this guy plays with timing and feel and audience reactions in ways that machines cannot. Sometimes tools let humans expand their creativity in ways previously unheard of. Just like the LLMs are doing right now.
I’m an American (born here), but I’ve felt our skilled immigration policies are wrong-headed for a while, especially after dealing with them as a hiring manager. Broadly speaking, I feel we need a better focus on a) getting people who have the skills that our businesses need and b) naturalizing those people as US citizens who are willing to commit their whole careers to our country. The H1-B system seems to be the worst of both worlds…gamified so that bad actors get many of the hires and gamified on the employee side so you get people, say, sacrificing salary for a better green card process.

If I were to propose something different, it would be ratios by job title/salary, with obvious veto ability by government TLA agencies for security risks. Points systems for skilled migration are an in exact proxy and miss out on talented people with less formal educations. I’d rather place the burden of deciding who gets to work here on businesses who are trying to fill actual positions. Let them decide who is actually qualified based on the actual skills they’re looking for. And because they have to hire a requisite number of similar-level Americans, the worst thing that might happen is a sort of jobs program for Americans when companies are forced to employ more Americans to satisfy the ratio needed to hire foreigners.

This would have two other benefits that I can see. First, it would make it much easier for small companies with primarily-American workforces to hire foreigners since they wouldn’t need so much legal help or luck in winning a visa lottery. Second, foreign workers would integrate better because they’d always be working with Americans.

The main weakness that would need to be protected against is companies under-classifying and underpaying foreign workers (i.e. the janitors are American but are up-classified as software engineers and the software engineers are foreign and paid janitorial wages), but I feel these sorts of situations should be addressed by judges when complaints are made against companies trying to game the system.
Glad I took a look at the comments first, because you just took the words from my mouth.

>Google is not promising this out of the goodness of their heart. They're just getting ahead of what the EU is planning to mandate

If that was the case then why did Google exceed the requirement by 2 years? Additionally, Google is providing 7 years of OS upgrades and 7 years of security updates. Google could have easily just do what they did with the Pixel 7 and offer 3 years of OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates, thus, meeting these EU requirement of 5 years of updates. So to claim that Google offering an industry leading 7 years of OS upgrades and 7 years of security updates is not out of the "goodness of their heart" is being disingenuous IMO.

Moving the photos and videos to a hard rive is a pain usb is buggy, icloud is useless. Cheaper iphones have very little storage and there is no ssd slot either. It means, when the phone is full you have to buy a new one. If you want to update (assuming updates are available) you have to do hours of manual photo and video deletion to make space for the update.

If they really wanted to update phones that are full they could move the images/video to their server until the update is done.
In this case that recklessness paid off... Nobody was killed or injured, and they probably gain far more from being able to inspect the used booster than the cost of cleanup/replanting a tree or two.

You might enjoy Gigerenzer's "Bias bias" paper. Discussed here: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2019/07/14/gigerenzer...

Paper itself: https://www.nowpublishers.com/article/OpenAccessDownload/RBE...

Abstract: "Behavioral economics began with the intention of eliminating the psychological blind spot in rational choice theory and ended up portraying psychology as the study of irrationality. In its portrayal, people have systematic cognitive biases that are not only as persistent as visual illusions but also costly in real life—meaning that governmental paternalism is called upon to steer people with the help of “nudges.” These biases have since attained the status of truisms. In contrast, I show that such a view of human nature is tainted by a “bias bias,” the tendency to spot biases even when there are none. This may occur by failing to notice when small sample statistics differ from large sample statistics, mistaking people’s random error for systematic error, or confusing intelligent inferences with logical errors. Unknown to most economists, much of psychological research reveals a different portrayal, where people appear to have largely fine-tuned intuitions about chance, frequency, and framing. A systematic review of the literature shows little evidence that the alleged biases are potentially costly in terms of less health, wealth, or happiness. Getting rid of the bias bias is a precondition for psychology to play a positive role in economics."

It is closer to 20 years. She was a founding member of Mozilla. Look back at the early financial statements, in a vacuum a few 100k to several 100k sounds like a lot. When you compare it to other executives in the Bay Area or the US she was significantly under paid compared to peers. Especially when considering stock options. What would it cost Mozilla to hire someone else?

Before someone here says that they would be the CEO for less money than Mitchell. Can you get an appointment with the vice president of search at Google and Microsoft? Could you call their bosses and get though?

Yes. Warhol is an example where the commercial nature of the secondary use was the deciding factor in its failure to pass the purpose prong.

> In sum, if an original work and secondary use share the same or highly similar purposes, and the secondary use is commercial, the first fair use factor is likely to weigh against fair use, absent some other justification for copying.

(P4). It’s very likely that a noncommercial secondary use would have passed under the reasoning in Warhol. I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.
Then how do you avoid duplicate code without using inheritance? Other solutions like placing shared functions in "helper" classes are far worse from a complexity and maintainability standpoint.
A better design would look like this:

...
zero_is_even BOOLEAN,

two_is_even BOOLEAN,
...
four_billions_two_hundred_ninety_four_millions_nine_hundred_sixty_seven_thousands_two_hundred_ninety_six_is_even BOOLEAN
)

That design can store multiple versions of the data, making it more resilient to future changes in the even/odd property of numbers.
> while the USSR stopped its occupation of east Germany, the US never stopped

What do you mean by this?
Some of us scold Mozilla because they have lost track of their original purpose which is to develop a Web browser, instead they have started to become a political advocacy organization. One that is against freedom of speech and in favor of censorship.
> Firefox's apparent marketshare drop is potentially indistinguishable from their deployment of privacy-improving features, including stubbing out Google Analytics when "Enhanced Tracking Protection" is enabled.

That's an interesting angle. I suppose we could compare against Mozilla's stats on download numbers and telemetry? Though between users downloading from distro mirrors and disabling telemetry (I suspect Firefox users are far more likely to be privacy conscious and/or Linux users) those will also be fuzzy.
> We have subsidized your defense for decades now which is a big reason how entitlements like socialized healthcare was able to work in the EU despite not having the long term birthrates to cover it.

No, socialized healthcare works in Europe because its cheaper than the US system, massively so. The US just chooses to waste extra money to assure that large segements of its population lack access to quality healthcare.

You don't want to seriously tell me that garbage on Twitter in 240 characters is more useful to me than actual journalism, do you?

I guess the question - why can't Mozilla (or at least Firefox) - be like the Linux kernel or the Debian group? They are healthy open source projects, some funding from industry, sure, but they're staying current in the latest tech/comp-sci tech while not beholden to anyone in particular (I hope)
