I appreciate your response here but it's still pretty handwavy.

Ultimately it's pretty easy to sit back and say - well it's just so. Sure we have a flight or fight and pathways towards adrenaline and cortisol. We also have pathways for oxytocin so we like to find a friend/mate. So obviously we'd also have pathways towards wanting to nurture our kids. That's evolution bro - I guess nature and science are pretty obvious and boring after all /s

The response to children is impressive to me because it appears to be highly specific in its stimulus and the ramifications are pretty large.

Our cortisol and adrenaline response is very generic. All kinds of things can trigger it. You can experience adrenaline by jumping out of a plane or gambling at a roulette table. Even in a showdown in poker or playing video games. So the same response has been conditioned towards all kinds of situations when originally it might have been predominantly towards enemies/predators

Likewise for oxytocin we can probably produce oxytocin from cuddling a pet so it's kind of generic in stimulus.

Meanwhile there's a whole slew of specific responses that men and women have towards babies that I personally find fascinating in their specificity. Maybe because I'm just ignorant but I'm excited for the future when we may be able to understand how a bunch of senses (visual, aural, olfactory) convert into specific neural signals which the body is preprogrammed (how?) to then produce a specific response (via what biochemical pathways) to induce a hormonal response. Which incidentally have pretty wide ranging physiological consequences in the case of testosterone.
Nobody represents the family anymore in the media. What a sad time.
The oppressive yoke of minorities.
You can turn off giving ai suggestions, not receiving them.

Not all AI affordances in cider can be disabled. There are plenty of people complaining about this on yaqs and buganizer.

> no one is forced to use them so at worst they're a minor UI annoyance.

This attitude is exactly the problem with Google and is why Google’s AI rollout has been terrible thus far. Luckily the stock is still going up, so whatever I guess.
I'm working on my PPL at the moment, and I found some pretty fascinating facts about certifications. Apparently there's a very very sharp divide between anything that can be constructed as "commercial" flight, aka somebody pays you to take them for a flight, and non-commercial, i.e. it's just you and maybe your friends. The former category has some pretty solid regulations like, for example, a continuous chain of service history. Once you decide a plane is no longer commercial, you can skip that, and it suddenly becomes less regulated than even your average car.

There are rust buckets flying out there without any issue. There's a guy on tiktok that bought a literal $200 plane and is documenting his work on it - and he started test flying it almost immediately.

I don't have enough experience in the field to tell myself if aviation tech is mature enough to be considered "rusty truck level", but we definitely have the data to know it.
The one set of people that have made monetized desktop Linux work are Valve. And that's because, like Apple, they provide a vertically integrated solution. They sell the hardware and the software that people want to run, with Linux on Steam Deck sitting as a little slice in the middle that isn't directly monetized.
I use Mac for work, Linux/Gnome for personal use, and have used Windows up to and including 11 both personally and professionally in the past (although a lot less recently).

In terms of the desktop environment, I feel Mac is severely lacking behind. I know there are very mixed opinions on Gnome, but to me the Gnome UX feels extremely well thought out in comparison.

The apple ecosystem might be very well integrated, but in terms of the macOS UX it feels the exact opposite. Why can’t I close an app from mission control? Why can’t I launch apps from mission control, but need to e.g. open launchpad first? In Gnome the activities view unities all of those experiences in a way that is seamless and just clicks for me, but in macOS everything seems to be separate apps/features that don’t play together at all (out of the box at least). Add to that all the other small frustrations that you need to address with third party tools, it is - for me at least - a very unproductive out-of-the-box experience.

Of course this is subjective, and might be partially an issue of (my lack of) skill/experience.
Per capita Russia probably has the most downloads. It's only surpassed by India in absolute terms.

That's why I put Russian in quote marks :)
They were originally trying to land on pad, but they couldn't get legs light enough and strong enough not to bend while landing, there were also problems with maintaining structure around those legs. It was simpler to have two hardpoints and legs be more massive but on the ground.
If linux gaming requires you use a blessed immutable OS where everything you run is either unprivileged or signed by a central entity, it's not much better than just using Windows at that point.

Kernel level anti cheat is a failure. You need to control the hardware to do it properly. The only hope is to wait for less locally intrusive and more robust anti cheat solutions.

Basically the only possible solutions at this point lie in the AI space.
hate the fact that I have no idea what it is unless i sign up. maybe some demo / description of what it does would be useful to get users engaged.
I was pondering but given the guys in the picture are on cherry picker type cranes, I'm guessing the photographer was on another of those. The quality looks a bit high for a drone.
Forging a lease for an empty dwelling is easy. But forging a lease for the owner's residence is much harder. You'd have to get rid of the owner's stuff, make sure the neighbors don't testify that this is the owner's residence, come up with fake papers to prove the owner lives elsewhere.

All in all, i'd be curious if you have an example because that sounds like opinion manipulation from the owners as that case is very unlikely. At least similar cases i've heard about in France have been 100% debunked. It's much more likely the owners live(d) elsewhere and had an empty dwelling squatted.

I am very happy on my GNU/Linux Debian distro.

Of course, at work, I use Windows. It is bloated. That is not an attack on the OS in general but the added fluff on top of it. I dont want it.. yet on next bootup I see co-pilot at the bottom right of my screen. Eff-off!

Remember -- software piracy is wrong... but I don't actually own it, either! I remember the old license agreements on Windows 95, etc.. I would not be surprised if Windows today is still based on "rights to use it" or similar.

I am not here saying distros like debian could replace windows. A lot of users comftable on Windows will struggle to change. A number of alternative software is a learning curve.. even if it is just as good (or better) than what is used on Windows. We also have IT departments who have to relearn... login system, security, etc, especially if their world is windows-focused.

My wife uses Linux. My eldest child uses Linux. They have no issue.
Of course, there may come a time when my eldest needs a peice of software that is Windows only.. but will get to that when I have to (and possible alternatives) -- but I am also a realist... if a child has a specific need (especially a career-based one) then I will install Windows if there really is nothing else.

I would like to properly see the "year of gnu/linux" but despite Microsoft making poor decision with Windows, it will still have things a Linux distro wont... with added budgets at the forefront with PR, legal, marketing.. and all the other departments it has!

Big Companies will also "buy microsoft" for the support whether they think it is good or not.. it is a safety net for job security.
I've had an xorg-config with 125% scaling for almost a decade and it works well.

This is on Void Linux.
Right. Becuase Apple has never, gasp, done anything anti-competitive or shot down open standards.
I use it on my "corporate job" PC because our architecture is based on .NET and we are still forced to adopt it (at least until we'll definitely pass to .NET Core becoming a bit more agnostic).
All I can say is that it's... overwhemingly slow... and it gets progressively slower while times goes on. Every time I install something new that I need it occupies more RAM and I'm forced to control it periodically opening the task manager and killing tray bar processes. People can say "well you could be more careful while installing stuff" but the point is that I am. Moreover the majority of times I need stuff I let the corporate sysadmins to install it on my machine. Options to avoid programs being invasive are hidden, you need to search everywhere to understand how to, let's say, avoid Microsoft Teams to load on OS boot.
Someone should explain to me how it's possible that my forklift notebook is a T450 with a 9 years old 15W TDP i5 CPU with Arch Linux installed, and Firefox opens in 2 seconds, and my corporate PC is a fucking stove with a 45W i7 recent CPU and Firefox needs at least 10 seconds to open.
And if I, a self-considered kind-of-technical dude, have issues in keeping a work computer clean (so without any game or "casual" program installed), imagine what happens to my less-skilled friend who likes games and needs cracked Photoshop: he will inexorably seek for help from me after things go progressively bad.
It happened few months ago with a friend. I took his old T450 (another one) I made him buy to have a PC (now it's my second debian server). Now he has a second-hand MacBook and he's never been so happy. Can't be sure that MacOS actually works better because I avoid it too, but at least people are happy and (I assume) tries to solve their eventual problems alone.
You are presenting the government as being some external entity, not one chosen by will of the people. We have it like this because apparently most of the people got fed up with wielding their own guns all day long, and preferred to delegate that.
Yeah, probably. Any problem?
The problem lies with the people who created the junk food industry.
Hello!
Being the author of the blog post commented here, I'm glad it became food for thoughts.

Here a few of the salient points:

> They are not cathedrals!

True! As I learned after writing the blog post, a Cathedral is not simply a large church. As written in several comments there has to be a bishop.

> Fallacy of using other projection than the Mercator one.

It was known that they are "visually" aligned on the Mercator projection. The question is: does it mean that they are aligned on the surface of the earth? That question was the crucial one underpinned the post.

> Birthday paradox and Texas sharpshooter fallacy.

These are two really interesting take on the problem that I did not considered or knew about. Certainly worth exploring in a next blog post.

Also I have to inform you that the blog is temporarily suspended. This decision is after an unfortunate billing policy from the provider netlify. It has nothing to do with the comments received here. On the contrary the comments received here had encouraged me to write more (and to document myself better beforehand).

I hope to be able to bring it up back soon with a different provider, that would not add extra costs with no capping for going "viral" and exceeding the allowed free bandwidth.
> just the nature of how conversation works

Than I am also annoyed by your conversations.
This life-hack is significantly improved if you change it to:

C->F: multiply by 2, then add 30

F->C: subtract 30, then divide by 2.
I'd be surprised if doing so had any impact on the lawsuits, but I'm not a lawyer.
I'm impressed by how many of the new benchmarks that the Qwen team ran. As the old benchmarks get saturated/overfit, new ones are of course required. Some of the latest ones they use include:

* MMLU-Pro https://github.com/TIGER-AI-Lab/MMLU-Pro - a new more challenging (and improved in other areas) version of MMLU that does a better job separating out the current top models

* MixEval(-Hard) https://github.com/Psycoy/MixEval - a very quick/cheap eval that has high correlation w/ Chatbot Arena ELOs that can w/ (statistically correlated) dynamically swappable question sets

* Arena Hard https://github.com/lm-sys/arena-hard-auto - another automatic eval tool that uses LLM-as-a-Judge w/ high correlation w/ Chatbot Arena / human rankings

* LiveCodeBench https://livecodebench.github.io/ - a coding test with different categories based off of LeetCode problems that also lets you filter/compare scores by problem release month to see if the impact of overfitting/contamination
I have a better version (in the sense that it automatically names sessions after the current directory):

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
name="$(basename $PWD)"
name="${name//\./-}"
else
name=$1
fi

tmux has -t "=$name" && tmux attach -t "$name" && exit

tmux new-session -d -s "$name" -n shell
For the point of arguing with strangers, yes, I agree that neither PubMed nor any other entities will provide you with what you need. I don't think that it is possible to acquire an understanding of an issue without some domain knowledge, at least on how to get the data.

But to gain a deeper understanding of the flaws of any country's health (or any) system, there is no way around that except by comparing it with data from other countries. And that might be hard, which is why professionals spend a lot of time on it.
I'm glad to see an alternative to [mechvibes](https://github.com/hainguyents13/mechvibes)! I'll definitely check it out!
It is their residence. That's the semantic difference between residence and ownership. You may reside somewhere without owning it, and vice-versa.

Now, breaking into people's residence is a different matter, and is already highly criminalized. Laws about squatting and tenants rights don't exist in the void without a reason: they are supposed to be a balance between ownership rights and housing rights. Allowing the real estate mafia to make its own law is not exactly a balance...
Well, yeah it was reliable but with a lot of artifacts

I honestly couldn't make out much of what was being shown at those last moments. And I'm curious why SpaceX didn't have a ship there at the expected landing site to assess the landing (maybe they thought it wouldn't make it)?

It was a great event, surely, but it would have been nice to have a 3rd person view of the landing (you have the diagram at the bottom but it's not the same thing) .
I suppose Celsius and 90 is a poetic exaggeration for 35+, while 30 being realistic for inside a stone-building mid-summer in Italy.

Alternatively, Fahrenheit, and 90 is realistic for outdoors mid-summer in Italy and 30 is a poetic exaggeration for ~80 inside a stone-building. If meant literally, the holy water would freeze inside the cathedral. Besides, nobody uses Fahrenheit in Europe, but poetic exaggeration is common.
because i wrote a short internet comment, not a science article. I just linked to the article most prominently stating the 3rd correlation in the triangle of correlations between those 3 vertices - autism, vitamin D deficiency and brain size. For people who interested it is just a simple google to get more related articles, in particular stating all 3 together though in more diffuse way and/or bridged by the pruning. And simple google also would bring you the Sweden study.

I think while technically they differ mostly only in terms of the training materials thrown into it, the outcome is that each model is good at something and bad at others, just like human being. Soon you'll need standardized tests and HR department to evaluate individual LLM performance. :)
> AI can only increase quantity, not quality.

Just in time to make every software product eat up even more CPU and RAM to do simple things.
I have a Surface Pro that's just been telling me Win10 is soon coming to its end, and Win11 won't run on this device. I'm considering Linux Mint which is just fine for what I use that device for (mainly web browsing).

I guess part of the problem is if you commit to building a bazaar instead of a cathedral, there's some things (like majestic roofs that don't leak) which are harder to realize.

And then there's the bit where I'll be choosing Mint/MATE (if I don't go full XFCE) because something something GTK3 mumble Adwaita.
Nobody could have discovered that these points are in the line of constant bearing without maps.

(hiking in straight line and jumping into boat at the point where land ends is not how people travel)
Easy: it asks you the details of your accounts on first access, and stores them in its configuration. When launched the next time, it tries to log you in automatically. It also waits for the login to complete before drawing the button, so that it can gray it out if the login fails. Then it continuously checks the network and changes the button to reflect mutated conditions: connection lost, new messages/post...
I keep thinking the Windows 10 EOL in 2025 is it.

It is strange that this model is not available on Together.ai to try it out after reading the blog artcile.
If we can prove entanglement still exists on a per particle level, hawking radiation is just a correlation fix that uses massive black hole lifetimes to reintroduce particles when they no longer affect the time ordering. Experiments showing photons “reversing” in time stop working through a black hole most likely.

From what the comments added to this, I would say the best (only?) privacy-favoring aspect in the States is that personal identification is in chaos. Not that you wouldn't have some identification features, but every little corner handles them differently. Nevertheless, the security organs seem to have found effective ways around this chaos, so I'd say that with or without national ID those who need to know know, and the only ones left in chaos are the regular people.
That's exactly what I assumed it was — a wry commentary on AI.
Who knows. I did a postgrad in medicinal chemistry and I was always amazed at how we scaled up from tiny molecules/proteins into this crazy emergent system. Yet at the individual molecule level there was still so much we couldn't understand from a holistic first principles point of view.

At the time IIRC computer simulations would struggle to model like more 12 water molecules solvating something accurately.

So building up from that atomic level up to proteins into a full physiological system always seemed like magic to me and it's always felt like we didn't really know anything.

Coming back to the t response it would be interesting to know if anything else accidentally triggers it. Eg is it just babies that triggers the response? Only our baby? What about adopted babies or babies of family members? Can other cute things trigger it?
Possible. And the interesting question will be, why anyone would want to wake them up one day and care for them? Because they signed a contract today with a company that might go out of buisness in 10 years? Good luck to them, I guess.
Ok, you don't need to downvote my comment because of my curiosity. It's rude!
Which is so broad as to be unhelpful.

We also know that petroleum mixed with air may be combusted to release energy; we needed to characterise this much better in order for the motor car to be distinguishable from a fuel-air bomb.
A booster stage solves exactly that. I noticed in the launch yesterday that the booster was a hog - it was bigger, but it also had a lot of engines and a lot of work to do, so it burned through its fuel faster. This particular configuration is set up for the separation to happen pretty high, but one can imagine different configurations as well - a bigger ship and a smaller, fuel only booster that works only as long as there's atmosphere.

Or even better - keep the current setup but have a ring of air breathing engines in the booster that work as long as they can.

There's a lot of stuff some extra engineering can do, given enough time and resources. For now, SpaceX is going for the biggest bang for the buck, and they have a very healthy aversion of complicated solutions. But in time, adding a few air breathing engines may become simple enough to be worth it.
Impressive the flap actuators held up too!
I do and i found plenty of issues while doing code review.

But i started to read a lot more code than what i did 10 years ago
It's a spectrum. For it to be a net benefit for a species as a whole, it does not need to be beneficial for all, or even most, individuals it affects.
Note that this data is the absolute number of deaths, not accounting for population size. This is what it looks like when you add "Europe":

Sorry, the 'should' probably has an unintended negative connotation when talking about a specific study.

To delve a little deeper. They seem aware (under HOW WE CONDUCTED THIS STUDY [1]): "While the information collected by the OECD reflect the gold standard in international comparisons, it may mask differences in how countries collect their health data. Full details on how indicators were defined, as well as country-level differences in definitions, are available from the OECD."

They do not mention the specific CDC caveat mentioned above regarding the check box on US death certificates.

And then the pincher: The study points to CDC [2] where explicitly this effect is mentioned as a possible issue with the reporting via death certificates ("Efforts to improve data quality are ongoing, and these data will continue to be evaluated for possible errors.").

I'll leave the interpretation to you. They mention there is a gold standard and that some countries might not follow that gold standard. The conclusion is mainly based on US CDC data vs. OECD non-US data. They link to a CDC report mentioning this issue. Should they mention this fact in the study in the main body, or is this transparant enough?

Going back to the Noahpinion link with graph above in this discussion. For me the time series gives quite the hint that ICD-10 is not being followed appropriately and that false conclusions may arise. If this were my report, I'd take one or two paragraphs to explain why this issue doesn't affect my conclusions in the main body of text.

And then even a 'How to solve this (partially)'. As an actuary I know death is very unlikely in the childbearing age. Show a comparison table of deaths per 100k for women in the age of 20-40 between countries, including the 'US-Black' category. If that comparative line is a lot more flat (my expectation), I would really presume there is a data collection issue. The other interpretation would fail Occam's razor (that non-pregnancy death in US / US-Black categories are less likely than in other OECD-countries). First inkling: [OECD - 3], US ASMR in Women up to 20% higher than other countries.

The strength of the body of the rocket comes from some level of pressurisation – much like a drinks can. I suspect that if the tank got holed the ship wouldn't have held up during the flip
