I regularly switch between the Quest and the PSVR2. The Quest has a whole system running on your forehead, while the PSVR2 is always-wired, and leverages the PS5 for compute.

The difference in weight is phenomenal. I would absolutely love to have all of that extra stuff offloaded into a pocket pack. Or, at the very least, parked behind the head as a counterbalance.
If you want good, you're unlikely to get free. We are talking about business, after all. The standard is HBR, which you can buy for what I believe is a reasonable cost: https://store.hbr.org/case-studies/
If you ever get a chance to visit him in Berkeley, I thoroughly recommend doing so. Not only can you stock up on Klein bottles and scarves, but the man's an absolute treasure and delight, and, depending on how old you were when _The Cuckoo's Egg_ was published, perhaps one of your childhood heroes. I have one of his bottles right here on my desk.
We call both the ability to modify some random file without permission with physical access under specific circumstances and Spectre/Meltdown CVEs despite being wildly different severity.

Recall is a specific thing where the NHTSA requires a manufacturer to fix a vehicle. The fact that recalls can have different levels of severity and take different levels of effort to fix is not surprising.

I agree the headline is written to make it sound like a huge issue when it's not, but it is factual.
That was one of the things they tried while they were iterating on it in-house.

Ming Chi Kuo first reported details of the product as shipped at the end of 2021.

> Kuo's prediction that the headset will be a standalone device goes against a report by The Information from September claiming that it will need to wirelessly communicate with an an iPhone, an iPad or a computer to handle most of its computing.

To be fair - their hand was forced by the EU to do that. They were not forced for VR headsets and they came out with 3-4 new type of connectors for this. So I think the parent comment was fair
From the linked website, right at the top:

> Curcumin is the primary bioactive substance in turmeric. It has anti-inflammatory properties, and there is decent evidence that it can alleviate various conditions, from chronic pain to depression. Curcumin has poor bioavailability on its own, and thus it is often combined with Black Pepper or with lipids.

I'm not sure how you got " it doesn't seem to do much"?
Desperate, Prof Long formulated a radical plan to treat Prof Scolyer based on what had worked in melanoma, but which had never been tested in brain cancer.

I don't know how Aus works, but, in the U.S., we need a much more serious right-to-try regime, particularly for fatal diseases like GBM. The FDA is way too slow and paternalistic, a topic that I've been writing about: https://jakeseliger.com/2024/01/29/the-dead-and-dying-at-the... and https://jakeseliger.com/2023/07/22/i-am-dying-of-squamous-ce... because I'm dying from a squamous cell carcinoma infestation that, it turns out, should be much more treatable than it has been so far.

For example, MCLA-158 / petosemtamab should, based on existing phase 1a and 1b data, be approved: https://beta.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03526835. But, from what I understand, the FDA is going to make Merus proceed with phase 3 trials, despite the incredibly positive phase 1b and 2 data. Madness.

The FDA killed during the pandemic: https://moreisdifferent.blog/p/fda-devastation-during-the-pa... and continues to kill today.

And they worried the experiment could kill him faster.

It's a reasonable trade-off to decide to take the risk.

Immunotherapy drugs are quite toxic, especially when mixed, so he could be poisoned

I wonder which the author is talking about, because e.g. pembrolizumab (Keytruda) is not. I assume the author isn't talking about e.g. CAR-T therapies?

If you're in the US and know someone with GBM, look into DCVax: https://www.uclahealth.org/departments/neurosurgery/phase-ii....
Re: rally car lighting

They're not the same light pattern as fog lights (well, not all of them). Some are "pencil" beams that reach far, some are closer to fog beams for close-in. Coverage is the name of the game.

They need them because the goal is to be driving as fast as possible, so you need as much light as you can get onto and down the road.

The reason they're on pods on the hood is because they're removable. They only put them on when needed, because they're very expensive and you don't want them getting damaged when not in use.
The expensive Apple 1m USB-C I believe is a full-featured cable and you pay for it.

A lot of the cables that get included with devices only supports the subset of features that device needs - sometimes down to just power delivery only.

Cables are much more complicated now with embedded chips and so on so you need to select and use them as if they were any other electronic you would spend time reviewing the specs or comparisons on.
Help Needed on Some CSS
Do y'all usually ask programming questions on here? Couldn't search for any but I'm working to familiarize myself with web development and programming in general.

I'm running into this issue with my website on mobile browsers where I'm trying to put a video inside a TV image, and a "Watch" button on top of the video that links to Twitch. And to top it off, the mobile browsers seem to completely ignore the font (I figure I can solve that later).

Here's a snippet of my HTML code that shows the classes:

******

<!-- TV ATTEMPT-->
<div class="testingclass">
<img class="tvImageClass" src="UX_UI\TV90S.png" alt="tv" /> <!-- TV Screen Image -->
<a href="https://www.twitch.tv/antighfest" class="watchButton"> <!-- Watch button that links to Twitch. Supposed to fit inside TV Image.-->
<img src="UX_UI\BUTTONZ\WATCH_BUTTON.png" alt="watch" style="width: 200px; height: auto;" />
</a>

<video class="trailerVideo" autoplay muted loop playsinline>
<source src="UX_UI\VIDEO\TRAILERZ\2024 - 24hrz_close_to_final.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <!-- The Video that's supposed fit inside the TV screen image-->
</video>

</div>

******
And here's my mobile CSS snippet:
******

/* For mobile screens smaller than 768px /
@media (max-width: 768px) {

.testingclass {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
height: 100vh;
}
.watchButton, .tvImageClass, .trailerVideo {
position: relative;
margin: auto;
max-width: 100%;
display: block;
}

.tvImageClass {
/* position: relative; */
justify-content: center;
width: 50px;
max-width: 50px;
height: 50px;
max-height: 50px;
object-fit: contain;
}

.trailerVideo {
/* position: relative; */
justify-content: center;
width: 50px;
max-width: 50px;
height: 50px;
max-height: 50px;
object-fit: contain;
}

}
*********
Everything on mobile fits except for the trailerVideo and tvImageClass - they appear unusually large on mobile. Is there an efficient way to stack these assets so that they don't blow out the pages? So far I've only tested on Safari mobile - and if you want to see what I'm talking about you can go to antighfest.tv on your phone.
That's only true if you issue coupons that exceed your gross margins.

Net margins in many industries are razor thin, a single digit percentage at best. Gross margins are much thicker, because the rest has to go to covering operating expenses like rent and utilities and salaries that don't really depend on how many sales you ring up. You can't allow your net margin to be below zero on average, but any sale that exceeds your gross margin still contributes to the bottom line.

Or to think about this a different way, suppose you have a million dollars in fixed costs you have to recover before you can turn a profit, and you're selling a million units at a gross margin of $0.80 and two million more at a gross margin of $0.20. You're making two hundred grand. But at 3 million total units your average gross margin has to be ~$0.33 just to break even. Does that mean you should abandon all the $0.20 margin sales and only keep the million "profitable" sales? What happens if you do that?
I think this is the first review that mentions there might be some issues with people who have astigmatism? Like me.
This might be the first time someone used the word "entropy" colloquially in the hopes that it is generally well understood what it means.

To me the usage makes no sense whatsoever, there's no entropy to be found here, and if there is it's not what is being displayed. Perhaps it makes sense to people who don't know what entropy is, though most of them wouldn't know the word in the first place.
Usually the WiFi setup is the biggest culprit. You’ll want to have wifi 6 and wire your desktop to the router.

Apple could theoretically directly connect between their compute puck and their headset.
It's like FTX. Amateur hour.
Lead chromate is fine for the most part. The LD50 for rats is only 5,000 mg/kg. It's still used in pigments widely.

In humans it would take a heroic dose to do anything nasty.
Assuming you are talking about a loss in your own skills, isn’t this exactly what the OP is describing? If people perceived a change in their own abilities, the problem would likely not exist.
This sounds to me like the king of XY problems: it shouldn’t cost 25k to go to the ER in the first place.
The environment causes environmental damage as part of the natural cycle of life.
I'm not really sure you're getting it about that last bit : For instance I have spent some free hours in the last few days catching up on a game that I haven't played in nearly a decade, originally released in 1999. Right now I'm staring at a multiplayer lobby with nearly a thousand people (and this is only of the servers, though likely the most popular one).

And if the game in question doesn't interest anyone after X years... there are probably good reasons for that ? Why would you first start playing and discussing it then ?
There can be moral reasons for treason. The founding fathers certainly considered themselves moral and principled.

Your frustration is misguided. Simply do not confuse illegality with immorality. Human beings generally want to feel like they're doing more good than bad.

As for "the DNA of a nation," we would probably spend a few hours figuring out the definition of what that even is just for starters.
If you are having serious conversation where expression matters, just take it off or all person may wear it in the Metaverse. In current form it is gimmicky.
Eco is the problem with such cross-platform frameworks
If you want no replacement, replacement value, or loan value it's pretty clear that those or separate coverage and options. It sounds like you just got the wrong level of coverage and blame USAA for that more than anything. TBF, if you used them for the loan, I'd kind of question the proper insurance not being suggested at purchase time, but if not... it's kind of on you.
Floating a balloon to the upper atmosphere doesn't make a meaningful difference in escaping the planet, it saves you a few percent of the energy but you still have to do most of the work to bring it up to escape velocity. Going to space isn't about getting high, it's about getting fast.
You're conflating startups with the broader business world. Startup models are shit because there are so many unknowns and it's in the interests of the people making them to fluff them up as much as possible. In the other 99% of businesses, business models can be quite accurate and are valuable tools for decision making and evaluation. For example, public companies often issue revenue guidance and analysts do their own earnings projections based on models.
Yeah, standardizing on USB-C would be a great idea, but only in a world where there weren’t fifty different “standards” using visually indistinguishable connectors. Thunderbolt, in particular, should have its own connector: it’s so annoying when I accidentally plug my Thunderbolt 3 dock into a normal USB-C port and then can’t figure out why my external monitor and other peripherals aren’t working.
> we lived on a planet where gravity and chemistry would make orbital rockets possible

It's kind of insane luck. Bit heavier planet and we wouldn't be able to have a single satellite before building nuclear engines.
It is a stretch to say that s-expressions could be added to the list of configurations/specification languages? [1] they can also be simplified to use less parenthesis.

If there are no criminal penalties for the vast majority of academic fraud, it will continue unabated. Similarly, financial fraud is not prosecuted in almost all cases in the USA. And those who do get prosecuted often pay nominal fines if convicted, while they were raking in 8+ figures in personal profits.

Scientific fraud isn't going anywhere, and neither is academic fraud. In fact, it will only continue to worsen as most of the Global North is in a post-Truth, post-meritocratic society. Heck, tenured professors and administrators often will not even be censured except in the most extreme cases, let alone lose their jobs, let alone ever see the inside of a prison cell.

There are lots of studies that does that. Here is one https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664031/
25 years ago, the only way to get two pieces of software to talk to each other was to get their authors to talk to each other.

I'm quite happy that remix culture has finally made it to software tooling. The extra layer of abstraction is a small price to pay for the power it brings.

(I don't know Pkl, but it seems like it scratches part of the same itch that you might use nix for).
I honestly can't tell if this is a joke.
Satellites mostly.
I live in California and my latest insurance quote was $7k for the year for a family of four, with no accidents or tickets. If this is cheap I'd hate to know what expensive is.
SAP workers rebel against forced return to the office
I would say that for quick, <10 minute conversations, it's fine. It's one of those things that doesn't seem impactful until you interact with it for the first time. I used to think the same way.
I have a pernicious habit of throwing sl on any shared server I manage.

As you might guess, it's for git typos and renders a Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Amusingly, if your typo is gti push or gti pull it also includes a stick man pushing or pulling the vehicle.
Everyone is talking about enshittification these days, but hardly anyone is doing anything about it (including myself). Thanks for doing something about it. Do you have a blog post with your thoughts on monetization?
Christ, enough of the anti-beaver comments. Beavers co-evolved with species and their environment for a long time and (were) part of the eco system before we nearly eradicated them like we did many other species. From the article you linked:

> Even though the beaver destroys life, its actions give way to new life and help conserve the overall environment. The positive effects of the beaver on its environment far outweigh the negative effects.
They haven't advertised people using it "in public". It's home, office, etc. In those contexts, it's more appropriate.
This is easily the thing that makes me most uncomfortable, no matter how much it could be improved. The ick-factor of it all is difficult to describe, and if it doesn’t bother others, I’m not even really capable of arguing why it matters to me. There’s functionally very little difference from an “immersion dial” and a person who puts on noise cancelling headphones and uses their phone with intent to disconnect for a bit. I know.

As much as it makes me feel like some angry senior who dislikes the kids and their phones… I don’t like it.
This would seem to be comparable to segmented stacks - which turn out to be fiddly enough that Golang got rid of them. And they're said to be even less feasible in languages that don't use GC and can't adjust pointers to account for moved data.
I am a subscriber of Examine and I wonder how these frauds impact on their database.
I stopped using sed because it behaved differently on my coworker's machine than it did on mine.
The prior CTO came from much larger, highly regulated startups. His only experience was very large scale systems with complex requirements. He took the approach that worked there to this much smaller, mostly unregulated startup in a very different industry.

It happened because he was the only semi technical person who was an FTE. Everyone else was from a consulting firm that the private equity owners “suggested” they use.
Ah, this makes sense. I've heard about the phenomenon of drivers of regular (not rally) cars driving so fast that they outrun the range of the headlights, such that even with perfect reaction time they are not able to stop or react to something on the road ahead. Simply increasing the brightness of factory high-beams must only get you so far.
It is a joke, and a rather old one. It used to be somewhat common for sysadmins to add it to shared systems as a little harmless prank on their users.

Some of us yet keep the torch lit...
"Because you're alive to read this headline" should presumably be the rest of the article.
While these cities might make cars less common per head of population, there are still cars. So if you cross a road you could still end up in the same scenario couldn’t you?

The US has a wicked combo of big vehicles, high healthcare costs and insurance options which don’t cover expenses.

As a contrast, I’m in New Zealand where you don’t have to purchase insurance, but healthcare will be paid for by the state.
Indeed, ClickHouse results were run on an older instance type of the same family and size (c5.4xlarge for ClickHouse and c6a.4xlarge for Timescale), so if anything ClickHouse results are at a slight disadvantage.

This is an open source benchmark - we'd love contributions from Timescale enthusiasts if we missed something: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/
I think AI training presents quite a nice opportunity for states like Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas (plenty of available land for solar power plants, many sunny days, few rainy ones, nights not that long in the winter). Mexico and Australia are also very well positioned.
First of all, you don't have to move your hand or pinch "on" something for most tasks. The ones where you do move your hand, the range of motion needed is actually pretty small. You can have your hand in your lap or neutral on an arm rest, and pinch there. Hand position doesn't matter.

Anyways, this is going to be indispensable on the plane and for frequent fliers. Having a full 20 foot cinema experience? Being able to quickly pause and interact with an attendant or the person next to you without taking it off? Killer.
What do you suggest we do? Make the headlights dimmer? The current regulations seem to allow between 500-3000 candelas.
Also "Only some of these studies were about curcumin specifically, but most concerned similar natural products."

so the retracted articles are NOT about curcumin specifically? and why where they retracted? because they were false or because they were plagiarized?
I'm not talking about automatic highbeams.
But 20m rows as example. Come on: we were running that and more for ad networks begin ‘00s on a rack with Postgres and it ran fine for analytics and everything else we needed; how can it be an issue now?
IOPS times blocksize is bandwidth in my experience (on modern storage).

I've built block devices using the highest IOPS (fulfilling all the necessary requirements) at well as extremely large block devices (64TB) using EBS. When maxxed out and tuned to the gills, it's fast and big.
This, and perhaps parent's driving skill has just been poor for a very long time now. No drop, just sitting at the bottom.
Hi, Mr. Calhoun! I’m sorry this is such an unorthodox way of reaching out to you, and I know this is probably off topic for the original thread, but I couldn’t really find another way to contact you. I had posted this same message on a comment yesterday, but it was pretty deep in a thread, so I thought I’d try again. I’m trying to get in touch with you about your raspberry pi TV project. I’m a 16 year old high school student, and my best friend loves retro tv and custom gifts, so I figured a great going away to college gift would be a project like this, loaded with all his favorite old (legally obtained) tv shows, and the videos of various musicals we’ve done together. I’ve been looking for a project very similar to yours for a few months now, and the closest thing I’ve found is a video describing a portable version of the project by a YouTube channel called Irish Craig Party. Unfortunately, it was the only video on the channel, the comments were turned off, and they had zero social media/github attached to the channel. I had to keep looking around for similar projects. I was totally willing to do some of the coding myself, but some fundamental challenges like the scheduling or the real time playback were a bit too intense for my admittedly barebones coding skills. Now I humbly come to you. You had mentioned that you were planning to open source it in a thread from a while ago, but you were debugging. Is there any way to get the code for this? I already have the vast majority of the parts, I’m willing to debug and modify it in any way, I just need the foundations. Thank you for hearing me out, I’m sorry for not finding a better way to reach out, and thank you for your time.

There are serious clinical trials with randomization and placebo that have repeatedly shown vitamin D supplementation reduces autoimmune disease rate. For example [1].

Obviously, the effect of a compound that does not require prescription and has few side effects is modest. But we are talking about a two digit % reduction in incidence, which is pretty respectable. At individual level, it is of course hard to see any effect. And if you are in trouble already, you will typically need, something stronger, a drug.

I think this perspective is simplistic, but the U.S. government does produce basically this number (although I think they exclude children): https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/EMRATIO. Currently it's 60.2 percent, a value higher than immediately after the major COVID layoffs or the 2008 financial crisis but lower than peaks in the 80s, 90s, or 00s. Most of this drop is because of the U.S.'s aging population. Looking at the same ratio from people between 25 and 54 shows it's 80.6 percent, about as high as ever: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12300060.
That's wild. I wonder if you just have a couple of jerks in your area. I grew up in a rural area and my parents still live out there, and I cannot ever remember someone driving on the road with their light bars on. I used to have one on my jeep. Anyone who has them knows they're being a jerk if they're driving with it on the road.
Yep, and very important to fail up and fail horizontally.
Apple would have absolutely switched to USB C anyways, at most the EU got them to do it a year or two earlier than planned.
Imagine visiting such planet. They'd think you are gods because, how did you get up there? But you can't really land because it would be one way trip for your tech.

So you just hang around and talk with radiowaves, sending them pictures of their world from above they could never see otherwise.
