I mean, what opinion are you really espousing? And what does it really have to do with the European Commission, which is a far bigger entity than a single man?

Hundreds of words to say nothing at all.
Belorussian vs Russian has little to no difference in terms of contemporary cultural background. The references we see in this demo clearly are what the whole Soviet Russian (Russia+Ukraine+Belarus+Kazakhstan etc) cultural space has been exposed to during the recent decades: American + Some European + domestic Soviet Russian retro + some Japanese (anime). This already looks extremely cool (a masterpiece of art!) yet it can be made even cooler (more interesting, also potentially a work of cultural science) by expanding to include more ethnically niche memes from other cultures.
Funny. I was in an Asian grocery recently, and they actually had whole durian in the produce section. How long until some pranker plunges in a knife and opens one up?
They may be standard practice, but they incentivize higher cost and higher margin offerings. Saying the opposite is frankly absurd.
They typically charge 1-2 full months of rent as a deposit, which is not any less than anywhere else I have been?

It's kind of shortsighted though. If we kill all the other predators, we're left with rampant overpopulation of all their prey animals, even the ones that harm our own interests and are kind of a pain in the ass to deal with (like boars).

Maybe. Probably. The article is a bit mixed on range hoods and doesn’t look at high CFM ones specifically, but it stands to reason it would help.

“ We found that an outside-venting range hood reduced peak NO2 concentrations in some cases (Fig. 3B) but that some outside-venting range hoods are ineffective at reducing NO2 concentrations (Fig. 3C). Across a subset of five randomly selected homes, we found that outside-venting hoods reduced hour-averaged kitchen NO2 concentrations by between 10 and 70% (mean reduction in concentration = 35%, n = 5; fig. S15). This result is consistent with prior work assessing the efficacy of installed range hoods, which found that most hoods operating in homes have capture efficiencies well below 70%”

Addresses typical range hoods, not necessarily high CFM quality ones.

“ people with a 75% capture efficiency outside-venting hood who use it every time they cook are exposed to 70% less long-term stove-attributable NO2 than average. The effect on long-term stove-attributable NO2 of opening and closing windows (one window modeled in the kitchen and at least three additional windows, opened or closed all at once; see Materials and Methods) was comparable to the average benefit of using a range hood (Fig. 5).”

Implies higher quality (capture >75%) range hoods help significantly but so does opening a window.
I can't help but feel that a lot of these AI SaaS "start-ups" are just single dev or a small team running a flight by night operation to grab whatever they can before the giants come around and squash them.

I don't understand why they made this leap after describing an O(k log n) algorithm. This seems comparatively a very expensive to do.
They don't really map well. The brain obviously operates on more continuous principles rather than binary states. The relationship between excitation/inhibition and emergent effects may be more direct and graded in biological neural networks vs to the "active when low". Buuuutt stiilll, 5-HT2A receptor and its downstream effects on glutamate transmission play a central role in mediating the subjective effects of psychedelics. Very very many studies have consistently linked 5-HT2A activation to the perceptual, cognitive, and emotional characteristic of the psychedelic state. Disruption of the default mode network and other changes are somewhat important maybe, the 5-HT2A receptor appears to be the focus of action for producing these effects. The point being, neurochemical interactions at the molecular level are the most important aspects of the LSD interaction, so.., now sure how that works in the context of synthetic AI, I don't know much about ML/NN.

My brother in law just passed from a massive stroke, he was 39. It wasn't a diet issue or life style problem. He had high blood pressure for years and come to find that the artery to his brain was constricted due to his physiology. It's unclear to me if this test would allow for insights to what my brother in law passed from, but the ability to develop diagnostics that could help determine root cause to catastrophic issues could change the world.

This and the work being done to create "digital doubles" that can inform clinical care is something that will change how we experience and receive medical care.

Did you achieve mastery of the subject matter without doing the homework? If so, kudos to you. If not, then perhaps doing the homework might have been of some value. Practicing leads to solving problems faster and with less mistakes.
Of course the length of the assignment matters, too. Hours of additional work would be a burden. So, I guess it depends on the situation. You would hope that the adults involved (parents and teachers) have the student’s best interest in mind and would work something out.

> Adding leverage to the housing market probably isn't a net good thing.

The leverage part isn't necessarily a good thing as it increases house prices to some extent (how much, I don't know).

But what would be an alternative? Even if buying a house all-cash was the only choice, a house would still be very expensive because it does take a lot of real materials and labor.

If we complain today that raising a 20% down payment towards a million dollar house is very difficult, would it be any easier if that house cost (let's say) 600K but you have to raise the whole 600k up front?

I'm generally against having debt, but mortgages are a wonderful thing.
I've heard reliable reports of Jeffrey A. Martin and his fellow research participants moving visual perception out of the eyes and the rest of the body into the surrounding environment. Literally seeing behind him. I don't think his eyes stopped working, he just moved his subjective awareness outside of his body.

I found it hard to believe until I used his techniques to contain 'all of reality' into a small space (the visual field) and then 'move' it to my chest. Feeling like music, sight, and body sensations are all happening within a tiny space-contained field is a very startling experience.
This is incorrect enough as to be dangerous (IMPE, I am not a doctor). They are non-drowsy because they do not cross the blood brain barrier effectively as I understand. Second and third generation antihistamines are fantastic.
Not being too rich or too poor allows engineers to become identity conscious, and being engineers they have enough analytical mind (plus time) to think & plan ways to attack the 'enemies of their religion & culture'.

All the frame rates in this post appears to refer to physics frame rates, but Godot makes the distinction between physics and display frame rates, and have separate callbacks for each:

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/best_practi...

Because physics frame rate is fixed (configured under project settings), I suspect developers would be able to get away with using the common lerp() formula and not having to worry about varying (display) frame rates.

My great grandmother used to cook right on the edge of the fireplace, in cast iron Dutch ovens. My grandmother cooked on top of a wood stove, and when I was a kid we heated the house with a wood stove in the center of the house.

I wonder how those all compare.
Wtf are you talking about? I said budget sedan. Bolt is not a sedan. It doesn't compete with vehicles like the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6, which have much lower drag coefficients and consequently significantly longer range despite comparable battery sizes.

> You might be thinking that it would be more usual to have an ops.Add(ColorOp{Color: red}) method instead of using op.ColorOp{Color: red}.Add(ops)

Others answered your question, but on a different subject: I find that weird to read. To me

op.ColorOp{Color: red}.Add(ops)

reads like “add ops to the result of op.ColorOp{Color: red}. I would name that function AddTo:

op.ColorOp{Color: red}.AddTo(ops)

Still unconventional, but at least it messages that the function argument gets modified.

That's a good point. I do experience the boundaries, I spent the majority of the last 8 years alone and was solely focused on work and hobbies. It was a very productive time for me. Now that I'm in a longer-term relationship again, my productivity has seen a major reduction. It's exacerbated by the fact that I am extremely productivity-focused, but my significant other wants to relax in her free time.

I'm still learning where I should set boundaries on both sides of the field, and this will probably be something I continue to struggle with for some time.

Not sure.

I would certainly try out Linux on one of the new 13" iPad Pros with anti-glare display. With an external keyboard, it could make for a great mobile development machine.

And many kids would certainly have dual booted their iPhone into Android when Fortnight stopped working on iOS.

Just two use cases. Who knows how many there are.

I’m really surprised by how negative many of the reactions here are. I found the overall concept and approach very interesting and entirely plausible, though obviously it didn’t work out at all in the end. If there was a better technique to validate the signups, that could have helped pivot to a different product with actual interest. And I loved the research to target a specific search keyword with traffic but few results.

My criticism (seems everyone has one!) is that building your own billing, and spending two weeks on the first version before you have any customers, is a massive overkill. Really all you need is to track usage. Don’t even bother trying to automate on your own at this stage…

Confirmation bias is a killer. The lesson you learned is worth much more than you lost.

> Your comment, along with other users, suggests that TLC is a positive attribute for consumers, however, the transition from SLC and MLC NAND to TLC and QLC 3D-NAND actually marked a decline in the longevity of SSDs.

The bit that you're pointedly ignoring and that none of your quotes address is the fact that SLC SSDs had far more longevity than anyone really needed. Sacrificing longevity to get higher capacity for the same price was the right tradeoff for consumers and almost all server use cases.

The fact that 3D NAND has some new mechanisms for data to be corrupted is pointless trivia on its own, bordering on fearmongering the way you're presenting it. The real impact these issues have on overall drive lifetime, compared to realistic estimates of how much lifespan people actually need from their drives, is not at all alarming.

Not using SLC is not insane. Insisting on using SLC everywhere is what's insane.

Yeah, there is a kind of hysteria regarding AI and it looks like traditional business fear that if they don't use it somehow they will perish. But there are so many traps here, such as your customers not wanting interaction with your "AI chatbots", the issues of quality (vide the Sports Illustrated scandal), and the question of whether your niche needs any "AI" at all.

We can definitely shift the narrative to it just being a matter of individual malfeasance and exploitation if you'd prefer. In that model the fact that this is so widespread and routine reflects even worse on landlords, and justifies much more extreme action against them.
I enjoy cooking on one now that I am used to how fast it heats up.

And if I forget that and he turns it on, nothing happens unless I also left something ferromagnetic on the cooktop.

We can't replicate something we don't understand. The mechanism for consciousness is not understood at all right now and could actually be based on quantum effects that we haven't detected yet. It's also possible that it is only achievable in an organic machine. Until we understand how consciousness actually arises, the best we can do is a simulacrum of it.
