Hard to claim to have implemented a system before a word for that system was invented. Small groups of people were wildly successful in implementing the idea of shared ownership/responsibility way before the word communism was invented.

Lots of large societies had systems of governance where the vast majority of the economic system was free of government control/safeguards and where the value of the currency was not controlled by the government. As societies grew larger/complicated and concentrated more in urban areas people became aware that government intervention was a good thing if done properly. As with all things if done badly then the intervention is not a good thing.

The veracity of their claim is still in question, but based on that I'm going to assume good faith that they have facts to back up their claim. I haven't checked the rest of their citations yet, but based on their quantity I'm going to assume the rest of the article isn't sloppy either.
Ditto, but after he charged me $550 it and used bars rather than a worm-drive "winder", I'm thinking that next time I'm going to either get a winder and do it myself (parts were sub $100) or at least get 3 quotes. I went with someone a friend liked, so I didn't do any shopping around, mea culpa. But, I guess he had to pay for his brand new F-250 somehow. :-)

I was half expecting him to say I needed other maintenance including new rollers, at which point I was going to call BS, because I replaced those rollers a couple three years ago and I'm about a million uses away from their rated million open/closes.

Yea, the paper makes clear it's a associative meta-analysis, and the conclusion is basically "we should figure out what the mechanism is"

Plus, even if it is causal, it's not really new information: we know high-salt, high-calorie, nutrient-deficient foods (which ultraprocessed foods tend to be) DO causally drive the negative health outcomes described in the paper.

So like, this is basically a study that goes "yup, all the small studies are still saying this know-to-be-bad thing is still bad, despite recent interventions - let's go figure out if there's more mechanisms we missed here, or if it's just a matter of more interventions/individual choice at this point"

I recently had this in regards to roll-on deodorant and ballpoint pens.

If there's ink/deodorant available, rubbing it on paper/skin will deposit it.

If there's no ink/deodorant available, this causes friction on the rollerball causing it to rotate and reload the liquid.

Such a simple concept but hard to get right (at least initially) - Ball too big, concept doesn't work. Ball too small, it'll leak everywhere.

Someone came up with the idea in 1888, but it didn't really work out until 1943.

Neat.

I mentioned power just to round out three major complaints about the chip. Intel chips are more expensive, consume more electricity, and benchmark lower.

In general, as a home user, you should care about power consumption in desktop computers for the following reasons.

* Higher power requirements means more expense in other parts of the build. It means higher PSU requirements, and stronger cooling requirements.

* If you ever plan on running the PC on battery backup (UPS or Tesla Powerwall) or if you plan on installing solar energy then power consumption becomes a bigger expense.

Not exactly on-topic, but does anyone know of SQL-to-SQL optimisers or simplifiers (perhaps DataFusion would be able to do this)? I work with generated query systems and SQL macro systems that make fairly complex queries quite easy to generate, but often times come up with unnecessary joins/subqueries etc.

I find myself needing to mechanically transform and simplify SQL every now and then, and it hardly seems something out of reach of automation, yet somehow I've never been able to find software that simplifies and transforms SQL source-to-source. When I've last looked, I've only found optimisers for SQL execution plans.
I like this idea, but would want my email provider (Fastmail, in this case) to offer configuring and serving the well known info. If I move providers, this config should be exportable as part of the bundle to migrate.

Gravatar was interesting to proof of concept the idea, but it should not be a centralized service, it should be a protocol or protocol extension. Conversely, I am unsure if a directory service specifically for this is needed (versus leaning on existing open and established systems), but I could be wrong.
There is pretty much zero risk if the car is either jacked correctly or put on ramps correctly. Dummies that rely on a single 1.5mm o-ring not blowing out on their hydraulic floor jacks are gambling with their life. Always operate on flat terrain, always chock the wheels, always use the parking brake, always use jack stands, always verify no movement in the vehicle by rocking it, never rely on the floor jack.

I uploaded a drawing I had sitting around my desktop and it was 75% confident that it was AI. It's one I did myself in Adobe Illustrator so I guess I can say I'm 100% confident that it was AI, but a different expansion of that abbreviation.
That's all a little beyond me at this point. But very compelling!

As the original simulation shows, the idea is to calculate the difference and proximity of the pixels. So the drawing part is just a projection...

The ease of getting a memory buffer pointer, setting pixels within my calculation loop with simple offsets was very simple and compelling. I think I should look deeper into OpenCL/CUDA for this use-case, as I mentioned in the other response to my comment.

It said 92% AI. Do you have any stats about how often it gets it right ?
This connects with the fact that we don't have infinite time in a day, month, year to do things. We must sacrifice 99% of all possible activities all the time.
Most of our daily activities are also non-unique and don't feel grand. Eating, sleeping, relaxing, cleaning, meeting with friends. These are all things we all need to do and are less of the goal and more of a basis for a solid foundation to achieve other goals.

I often wonder how successful people manage their foundational activities. And by successful, I don't mean popularly successful. But people really content with their lives and happy.
Keep going further back. Imagine being Robert Hooke and realizing for the first time in human history that every time he looked closer at something under his microscope, there kept being tinier living things. And they didn't seem to get less complex, they kept getting smaller but were still filled with as much detail as you would see looking at a dog with the naked eye. And then to realize that the human body is absolutely full of them! Vast armies of invisible foreign living bodies inside of each person. No matter how powerful the magnification of his microscope, he never stopped discovering more tiny living things. It would have meant a complete reordering of his understanding of the world and man's place in it which most of us just accept because it was taught to us in school.

* How much money is saved by garage door owners?

* How much money is lost by professionals?

* How many people are injured/killed because this article made them think this was doable at acceptable risk, when they otherwise wouldn't have attempted it?

* How many people would've attempted it anyway, and would've been injured, but this article helped them not to be injured?

Modern bonus:

* How many people are injured because a YouTube/TikTok/etc. DIY influencer is informed by this article, makes a YouTube video that muddies the information, and people are inspired by the influencer video to attempt it?

Exactly. The militarized ones interface with the others, ie they are part of the same constellation for all practical purposes.
Wootz (and Damascus) steels for example were of much higher quality than what was usually produced in Europe. I can't say if this is what gave European smiths the knowledge they needed to create their own quality steels, or if it was a case of parallel invention, but for a time Asia was producing much better stuff.
The later we postpone the greater will be disaster.

We are just at the dawn of the sci-fi era we always have imagined for. And AI will be our companion in this fast changing world: "Jarvis explain me how that thing works" , and you get somewhat of an idea about any new or complex subject, which otherwise would have taken days to comprehend.

Firebase needs something like RLS (row-level security). It needs to be real easy to write authorization rules in the database, in SQL (or similar), if you're going to have apps that directly access the database instead of accessing it via a proxy that implements authorization rules.

Taxation as a behavioral incentive is typically applied os a sales tax. So in practice this is a consumption tax, not a production tax.

Your parent (who never indicated their preferred 3rd person pronouns btw.) never mentioned ISIS, that was you. They mentioned efforts to unite, and you took the leap of logic and stated they must mean ISIS. This is extremely condescending.

I say this is a leap of logic, because your narrative is ahistorical. There have been plenty of groups that sought to unify the Muslim world, not necessarily under a single state, and the Muslim Brotherhood is one of those groups. ISIS is not one of these groups however as they sought to rule the Muslim word, not unify. It is the same as saying that Nazi Germany was trying to unify Europe.

Your post also came across as racist, although I’m sure you didn’t mean it that way. The reason is you use very loaded and unfair words to describe the Muslim world (such as “hellhole”) and you speak of Muslim affairs as their self created doom, as if they don’t interact with with wider world, only simple action and reaction. They did this, we do that, etc, so really it is them doing it to them selves. I’m not saying you said that, but it sure sounds like you were going that route.

That’s interesting. I’m a born and raised American, but I lived in two different European countries (Oslo and Geneva) between 2014 and 2017. During that time I traveled all over Western Europe and the near east for fun and business, and besides 2020-21 I have vacationed in Europe once or twice per year when not living there. Old Soviet Europe drives pretty crazy, but other than that I have not encountered anywhere else in Europe with drivers as crazy as the US.

They have very different norms in Europe that Americans might confuse as crazy but are actually better habits IMO. E.g drivers in Florence and Rome followed few rules and basically drive by the “if it fits, it fits” manta. But they were always keenly aware of pedestrians and other drivers. They drive very light cars in streets where they can’t get above 15 mph. Even if they do get into more fender-benders, I’m not very concerned about a fiat hitting my car at 15mph. In short, their way of driving is safer and I feel much more comfortable around it.

Americans on the other hand seem to prefer deadly speeds in giant vehicles even in neighborhoods. My current neighborhood regularly sees F150s and King Ranches going 55+mph, on neighborhood streets. I saw a driver last year hit a dog they should have clearly seen and avoided because they were going about 45 mph and on their phone, they didn’t even slow down after they hit the dog. Americans regularly pretend pedestrians and obstacles don’t exist at all, and have way worse reaction times than what I saw living in Europe. Combined with the high speeds and heavy cars, driving is comfortable for the driver and terrifying for everyone else on and around the roads.

I also wouldn’t compare these American cities infrastructure to most European cities of the late 2010s. Excepting possibly NYC, which is sort of its own league in the US. Maybe they are comparable to the European cities of the 90s, but things have moved on a lot since then.
This reminds me of a paper[0] I co-wrote during a college internship that involved simulating the evolution of a Brownian system of particles with production and annihilation rules as the evolution of probability density distributions for each particle type within a partitioned cubic periodic box. Because we were interested in how these particles segregated spatially, visualization was a matter of finding the boundaries separating each domain of particles. I made some fun little videos of the evolution of the system over time (which tracks very conspicuously the entropy production, plotted in the paper), but unfortunately, they've since been taken down from the institute's website where they were hosted. (The paper does contain some snapshots that went into these visualizations, however.)
