> claim that Chinese workers are 30% more efficient

I was just quoting what the documentary said. There was so much contention between the management and the workers in the American glass factory featured in the documentary. In the end, the management hosted a competition between the American workers and the Chinese workers. Chinese workers won with a big margin.

I'll add that this will likely only make a significant difference if your GPU is relatively powerful. If you're still rocking an RX 480 or similar, the GPU is going to be your bottleneck in most games and upgrading the CPU won't make as big a difference. I went from a 1700X to a 5900X with an RX 580, and I only noticed a difference in one game until I upgraded the GPU.

Specifically in regards to flowers, I believe the vast majority of flowering plants are not fruiting, so there would need to be some other case here. More likely not having to do with humans, and more to do with attracting pollinators.

While this new research has provided a lot of additional details about the structure and the growth of the teeth of the varanids, the fact that among all living animals they have the teeth that are the most similar to those of the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs has been known for many decades.

The theropod dinosaurs and the varanids a.k.a. monitor lizards have a so-called ziphodont dentition, i.e. teeth that have sharp edges that are serrated, like a bread knife. This is an obvious adaptation to cut easily the flesh and skin of the prey by biting, then pulling.

Among the living vertebrates, such serrated teeth are also typical for sharks and piranhas, however there the teeth have a different form, i.e. triangular, because their movement is different, they cut during the bite, not during the pulling motion that follows the bite.

While among the living tetrapods only the varanids have such serrated teeth, in the past there have been many other animals with similar serrated teeth. Besides the theropod dinosaurs there have been some extinct crocodilians, some mosasaurs, some pliosaurs, some phytosaurs, a few ichthyosaurs, some rauisuchians (these are triassic predators) and also a few saber-toothed synapsids that belong to the ancestors of mammals.

Such teeth are necessary for a predator whose prey is big, so it is necessary to be able to cut pieces of it in order to eat it.

Most living reptiles eat their prey whole, so they do not need such teeth. The modern crocodilians have another method of cutting, by biting then shaking, presumably because in water and with a short neck it would be difficult to pull backwards strongly enough the flesh of the prey, while the mammals have differentiated dentition, with some teeth specialized for cutting, which leaves the varanids as the only predators of large prey that cut it in the same manner as the carnivorous dinosaurs, by biting and pulling back.
which is basically incetivizing even more electricity usage by subsidizing large electricity users and punishing electricity savers.

There are plenty of reasons a critic might not write about a film - perhaps it's not being widely distributed, or they don't think people will be interested, or it's difficult to write about, or they simply haven't heard of it.

Until recently, hearing aids were almost exclusively available in "skin tone" colours that didn't particularly match anyone's skin. Now all of the major manufacturers offer hearing aids in a range of consumer electronic-like metallic and gloss colours; this is especially true for hearing aids for children. There's a major generational shift, driven partly by changing social attitudes to disability but also because people are just much more used to seeing people with electronic things in their ears. A new generation of hearing aid users see their hearing aids as a gadget rather than a medical device; the choice to wear a "discreet" hearing aid is increasingly seen as a symptom of internalised stigma.

The same thing is happening with prosthetic limbs, driven to a very large extent by parasports. We're increasingly used to seeing prosthetic limbs that were designed purely for performance, where form follows function. Prosthetists used to assume that everyone would want the most "normal-looking" prosthetic limb, but that's no longer a safe assumption; to many younger people with missing limbs, the thought of wearing a prosthetic designed to mimic a natural limb is actively repellent. They're much more comfortable wearing something made of raw carbon fibre than something covered in beige rubber.

A software developer who once volunteered at a library in 2012 wrote in that very year a Python library to interact with a library catalog [1]. What more evidence do you need that she was involved in a scraping operation in [checks notes] 2023?

Her name (Maria Dolores Anasztasia Matienzo) even contains the letters Anna (almost), so she must be the mastermind behind Anna's Archive!

Her library is the top search result if you search for WorldCat in github. Though I personally would have gone with bookops-worldcat, since they claim they made major changes to the library to account for 2020 API changes in WorldCat.

#1 pretty much includes 2-4. If you solve #1 the others get implicitly solved.

Take a corolla, gut everything ICE out of it, give it a standalone EV drivetrain (none of that bullshit center console integration or OTA updates that can brick your car, keep the center entertainment console the same, keep the motor controller separate), run of the mill motor with 80hp or so and battery pack for ~100 miles or so, and sell it for $10-12k, and you would see MASSIVE adoption. Most people wouldn't even bother with public charging, since they can just top up at home overnight. The cars would also be better, even thought the horsepower figure would be low, the torque will be way higher which makes accelerating into merging traffic better and safer.

Then, if people want a car for longer distances, they spend $5-8k on a good used gas car, get basic checkover/maintenance done on it, install a entertainment system that has android/carplay, and have 2 cars and more functionality for less than the cost of a modern EV.

If the batteries are mainstream and not proprietary, the used market also becomes a shitload better, and people are more incentivized to buy these cars to resell at a higher price. It wouldn't be farfetched for people to even build their own packs, as many do for ebikes.

The way we classify race by color is so confusing. I’ve seen ‘white’ Asians with skin so milky white that the hex value is greater than most “whites” from the UK.

Meanwhile, to a “brown” person, I’m considered white when other southeast Asians and “whites” consider me brown.

Can we stop with the color thing and just go by nationality or region? The fact that American universities ask for my race really threw me off, especially considering some don’t even have a “prefer not to say” option.

My forced air heater was noisy and getting old. I installed a "Direct Vent" heater near the stairs in the basement and it keeps the whole house warm via natural convection. No electricity needed. You get to watch the cheery flame in the window, it is great.

I was worried the bedrooms would get too cold when the doors were closed but it turned out not to be an issue. The bedrooms do get colder but this actually is better for sleeping.

We still have the forced air system as a backup.

> The ideal PR size is 50 lines because that’s the median size on Github.

???

No, that's not why it's arguing that it's the ideal size. Where did you get that idea? (TBH I doubt it's the case - apparently the average PR size on GH is nearly 1000 lines [0])

It's arguing that it's the ideal size because (1) PRs of that size end up getting reviewed and merged the fastest; (2) PRs of that size end up getting reverted the least, implying that they're less likely to cause breakage; (3) PRs of that size end up getting more review comments, implying higher engagement and less rubber-stamping (there's a concern that this could imply unnecessary bikeshedding that slows things down, but see 1); and (4) PRs of that size end up creating the highest total throughput.

I suppose that doesn't "prove" anything, because correlation doesn't imply causation. But it gestures towards it.

Do you have anything that will persuade others that we are actually multiple species? I know of no basis for it.

And given no scientific basis (unless I'm wrong), isn't that the reason nobody believes it?

The "cultural correctness" argument seems a rehash of the tired, preconceived argument applied to everything.
The pixels of the AVP display are wrapped around your eyes, so pixel perfect rendering would result in an out of shape screen (although it would likely be much sharper). Also - from my experience - it doesn't feel good to have a large object unnaturally fixed to the center of your view in VR.
Looks very nice. I have three random questions:

1) How does this deal with backups? Presumably the deltalake tables can't be backed up by Postgres itself, so I guess there's some special way to d backups?

2) Similarly for replication (physical or logical). Presumably that's not supported, right? I guess logical replication is more useful for OLTP databases from which the data flow to datalakes, so that's fine. But what's the HA story without physical replication?

3) Presumably all the benefits are from compression at the storage level? Or are there some tweaks to the executor to do columnar stuff? I looked at the hooks in pg_analytics, but I see only stuff to handle DML. But I don't speeak rust, so maybe I missed something.
That is one of the issues with species as a concept. There are quite a few differing definitions which are all useful. It’s typically discussed as the ‘species problem’.
Amputee here.

I see a lot of uninformed comments and completely idiotic ideas in this comment section, from people who are thinking they are very smart for coming up with things. Well nobody does it probably for a reason.

First of all prosthetics are expensive as fuck, so a normal person can't have 5 of them.

Secondly they are big, so unless you go around in a van you can't really say "oh I need that other one now"… the one you have on you is all.

Then the looks. They don't have to look realistic but many people will want them to. I've met a few people in wheelchair that have absolutely no use for a prosthetic and yet use one, because it pains them to see themselves without… so i can't imagine how a robocop leg would work for that issue. Also, padding and stuff has the function of protecting the important bits that are inside.

I do agree that there is no point in making them look over realistic if the wearer isn't interested in doing that, and in trying to simulate a real limb at the cost of pain, and reduced time when they can be used.

In the end what nobody realizes is that prosthetics are complete shit. Try typing on a keyboard or playing guitar for several hours with 50cm sticks tied to your fingers and see how that works out, both in efficacy and strain to your fingers. A prosthetic is more or less something like that. Please stop confusing sci-fi films with reality.

It is rather annoying having people come up to you and ask: "why don't you have a 3 million dollar prosthetics that does this and that?"… Well I don't have 3 million dollars and the thing you're thinking of doesn't exist anyway.
I think good quick reference guides are a better answer to that. Learning by doing is spaced repetition, with the added benefit of automatic tuning (you don't waste time learning stuff you never use).

In other words, you could equally say "I work with CSS just enough that I don't want to spend ages learning it via SRS; I just want to look it up when I need it".

The key is making looking things up as painless as possible.

During the period for which we have evidence, Neanderthals seem to have had smaller populations than Homo sapiens, and they reproduced more slowly (longer gestation plus longer interval between pregnancies). So it may be that they went extinct for those reasons.

+1 for this.

Most of the time, all that matter in terms of performance is user's tolerance. Once that is reached, operational complexity becomes a lot more important. We use raw Postgres for analytics, knowing that projects like these and cloud offerings like AlloyDB will make our lives easier (in terms of performance) as time goes.

pg_bm25 looks awesome too! Next up, take fdw to the level of Trino/Drill, and we dont need anything else other than postgres and its extensions!

I wish someone, anyone, would make a driver's EV.

Correction: an affordable driver's EV. $100k minimum for a Taycan isn't affordable.

I've driven every model of Tesla from a base-model 3 to an S Plaid. They do not handle well and have poor vehicle dynamics. Anyone who thinks they handle well has never driven a car that handles well. Even the most charitable review could be summed up as "the computer does a valiant job at hiding the car's shortcomings when it comes to handling". All of the crossover SUV EVs and Korean EV sedans are even worse. As a point of reference, I've only ever owned four models of cars in almost 30 years of driving: multiple MX-5s, an MR2, an S2000, and a Fiat Spider and those are the only kinds of cars I want to drive.

To me a car that handles a curvy road well is better than a car that can accelerate to infinity within Planck time. Every single other issue most people have with EVs is irrelevant to me: I never drive more than 150 miles per day, don't care about recharging overnight, and have 50 amps of 240V in my garage ready and waiting.

The only think keeping me from buying and EV is that all affordable EVs drive like trash.

I know I'm not a mainstream buyer and I know I'm shit out of luck when it comes to the future of automobiles. Eventually all that will be left in the market is crossover SUVs that numb your soul to the point of despair and supercars that cost a million dollars.

I just wish someone would make an affordable driver's EV. I would buy a $50k EV that didn't handle like trash, tomorrow.
