Thanks for the references. Just had an initial look and I'll return to them shortly. I was already aware the action of xanthine class drugs is centered on the adenosine receptors but I've little deeper knowledge of the subject, drugs and their biological action isn't my field so I'll have to take the documents slowly.

However, I've already noted in (2) a statement under Theobromine that it's a strong diuretic. That's interesting but what does strong mean here? I dislike simple-notion words in papers unless they're quantified (they require numbers against them).

That said, that's not a criticism of the paper having just glanced at it, and it has lots of other interesting stuff I'll need to read in detail. What's particularly relevant about the theobromine entry is this mention of the molecule's strong diuretic effect. When I made my point towards the end of my comment that that particular coffee 'likely had much more than the usual trace of theophyline in it', I deliberately left out reference to theobromine because I'd seen references that it was biologically less active than either theophyline and caffeine.

What was implied was that when evaluating the effects of coffee that theobromine was essentially considered irrelevant because it wasn't as biologically potent as
either theophyline and caffeine and that its concentration in coffee is considerably lower than either of the other two.

Perhaps the earlier reference (which I've to locate again) was referring to theobromine's psychotropic effects rather than its diuretic effects. I'll now have to review and revise my understanding of common xanthines to correct my misunderstandings.

As someone who's not professionally involved in this field I sometimes think I'm a little mad for allowing my curiosity to get the better of me. :-)
Legally, closing an underperforming location in response to a unionization attempt and after a successful unionization are completely different situations.

After unionization, what is required when closing a store is written into the negotiated contract.
Consider the airline union strikes a while back. They leveraged the threat of striking in fits and spurts. They would strike for a day here or a hour there. Extremely disruptive to the business. The airlines had upper managers covering for flight attendants and scabs on contract but the stress was too much after a while. Because it was unpredictable and there are real costs to training flight staff the airlines could just replace everyone or have a whole fleet of spare staff on standby.

Strikes don't need to be and shouldn't be simple affairs, they can and should be nuanced and creative because the capitalists certainly will try to be clever and creative at putting people back into abusive working conditions when it suits them.

Unions are about organization. Because organization creates options. Options are power. Money is one way to get options and therefore power, but not the only way.

yes, any time you're burning wood you're climate unfriendly. But a lot of other things are climate unfriendly: where do you live what's the energy source breakdown? It's all renewable? Your computer was manufactured and furnaces were involved at some point: what about their emission? It's CO2 all the way down.

You should look at all of this relatively: from an absolute standpoint, humanity isn't good for the planet
There is another difference. Because your effective salary is lower, the employer (and maybe employee) national insurance tax is also lower. Many companies pass some of that difference on too to the pension contribution.
GraphQL Query Complexity Analysis
Some small tips from superficially reading the code:

https://github.com/arunsupe/semantic-grep/blob/b7dcc82a7cbab...

You can read the vector all at once. See e.g.:

You can compute the similarity much faster by using BLAS. Good BLAS libraries have SIMD-optimized implementations. Or if you do multiple tokens as once, you can do a matrix-vector multiplication (sgemv), which will be even faster in many implementations. Alternatively, there is probably also a SIMD implementation in Go using assembly (it has been 7 years since I looked at anything in the Go ecosystem).

You could also normalize the vectors while loading. Then during runtime the cosine similarity is just the dot product of the vectors (whether it pays off depends on the size of your embedding matrix and the size of the haystack that you are going to search).
Yes this should be possible. I think the main constraint would be keeping the cell chemistry the same so that OCP is similar. I've been playing with a pack model of cells with mixed capacity using another open-source tool in our pybamm-team collection https://github.com/pybamm-team/liionpack

Great. Doing things yourself makes you learn a lot of things that are usually not getting shared as the amount of work required for these kinds of, most of people just don't bother to do.
Isn't it much simpler than that?

US research receives 20 percent more funding relative to Europe (2017 data). More funding means more science? On top of that I would guess a post doc in the US can find a nice job at a company way way easier than the same person in Europe for the same reason: there are more higher-tech US companies with more big money who need the smartest people in the world to work for them.

I would also guess more and more loss of buying power (inflation without increase in productivity) in general causes a carreer in academia to become less and less attractive relative to a carreer in the commercial sector. That goes for both Europe and the US I suppose.

Example: I'm in Europe with a bachelors degree working as a freelancer (engineer) and probably make 300 to 500 percent more than people who work their ass off for decades in academia. So yeah there's "curiosity" and "passion" to stay in academia, but there's also cold hard cash.

The railway strikes in Germany from beginning of this year prove that, no, the bourgeoisie cannot just sit around and wait and/or rehire their entire staff. The 2023 Hollywood labor disputes show that "the poor" can indeed last longer than "the rich".
That’s because nobody normal— anyone who isn’t a tech person— remembers IP addresses.

I’m not as extreme as the parent, but think about it. Consider a small construction company where one (highly rational, borderline sociopathic) man manages a crew of workmen. The interests of the manager are those which maximize his profit on each house his crew builds, which includes paying the crew as little as he can get away with. The interests of the workers are oriented around securing the money they need to live. The only shared interest that I can identify is that the manager and the workers both have a desire to move money from the person building a home to their hands. The problem is that this money transfer is a zero sum game, so even then their interests are diametrically opposed. There are many employer employee relationships that don’t look this way, but I think it’s largely because the relationship evolves away from rational self interest for a myriad of reasons, such as if both employer and employee believe their work is valuable regardless of the money.

I love this.

Except to use tailscale you do need to bring in a while OIDC authentication provider.

It's all small and aimed at avoiding scale until the very first step, when suddenly only the big complex thing is acceptable.

I still just want to just use my email and a top. The only one of the auth providers tailscale supports that I have is GitHub, but I don't use GitHub as beyond work as I self host my git.

When the onboarding is "maintain and run a full oidc provider", all we've done is trade one aspect of complexity for another.

Inferno is not a successor. For example you can have Golang for Plan 9 but doesn’t make much sense on Inferno. You would even run Inferno on Plan 9 on some scenarios. I suspect most people who know about Plan 9 also know about Inferno, but it’s just a different thing, does not supersede it in general.
You used the term "highest level of disposable income in the world".

Sorry to be so blunt, but it's not helpful if you look only at the average.

A better metric would be the median because it is well known that the super rich distort the disposable income in some countries (the US, but also some European countries).

I see in plutocraticish environments the rich and powerful sometimes very deftfully prevent measures inconvenient for Corporate but useful for the weaker part of the population.

I admit this also happens in Europe. But somehow it is just easier to live as a poorish person in many European countries.

> I was generally writing 100s of (unrefined)

I was an ModEdit -> Scream Tracker 3 -> Impulse Tracker user myself, and that feeling of productivity that sample-based trackers create was astonishing. I almost always considered what I was doing was "sketching" out songs that I might somebody revisit to remaster or clean up with better instruments etc. (I never really did of course).

I found I could crank a song out I was happy with in just a few hours, but it took a long time to pull together a sample library that I was happy with and well organized, and learn enough techniques to make what I wanted. But yeah, there was a period of a few years where tons of music I still listen to today literally came together in a couple of hours.

I started slowing down as I tried to go for much more polish in my productions, writing out by hand effects that are done nowadays with VSTs (pitch stretches, digital multi-tap stuff, and lots of trying to make acoustic instruments sound like they were actually being played with volume and sample offsets).

Then technology and life changed, IT sort of stopped working and I didn't like my other options for a while. Finally forced myself to get into the FastTracker sort of workflow years later with MadTracker2 and now Renoise. It's not something I really have time to dedicate to anymore, but I keep almost getting setup to do it. There's a mental block for me with VST/VSTis that I can't quite get through. Sure they sound "better" but they lack lots of the expressiveness and flexibility working in all samples used to offer.

Not completely. If the wood is from renewable sources, the carbon usage is low, because it gets recaptured when they grow the next batch. Net carbon usage is from transport and logging. As such it's much better than fossil fuels.

It does contribute to air pollution, but that's more of a problem in a city, where it's diluted over a smaller area.

I did once look into whether it would be possible to run a carbon negative BBQ by doing wood pyrolysis of renewable wood and ending up with black carbon to bury. It does seem possible, but still has the air quality issue. And there's a risk that you'd emit some methane (if you fail to burn it), which would be bad. Also, I wasn't sure how to figure out whether it would emit more CO than a normal BBQ. In theory that would be the best case for carbon though.

Can anyone recommend something (as in radio type or particular device) for relatively portable battery based comms between two hiking groups? The use case is a big group hike that often gets separated into two or more smaller groups walking at different speeds, but wanting to still be able to check in with each other every so often. There's no cell reception out there.

Basically just want a glorified walkie talkie with a bit more range (a few miles through woods and across hills of possible).

I just got my GMRS license and some cheap 5W handhelds to experiment with, but I'm not sure if that is the best option.

We might also have the option of setting up a "base station" at the trailhead (our cars or someone relaxing at a picnic table) to act as a higher powered repeater if that would help.

How much of it is frequency (radio type), wattage, line of sight, operator skill. etc.?
> But I've also found that what I'm really looking for when trying to improvise, or perform, is having studied and worked on the theory - specifically on the ear training and the process of connecting that to my fingers - to the point where I don't have to think about it any more

"The purpose of all theory is ear training" is actually a Warne Marsh quote, although one that I can't verify. My dad (who is/was a jazz musician) read it in an interview in Coda Magazine in 1976 and while I can find references to the interview I can't find a copy of it online.

My dad used the quote "The purpose of all theory is ear training" as the inscription on his self-published basic and advanced keyboard harmony books. It's certainly a quote I've heard him repeat many times over the years.

That's partly because they aren't protected sufficiently from Corporate cleverly using psychological and other tricks to empty the pockets.
Also true.

But which way around does that apply? Racism is a concrete example of what AI may incorrectly automate, it's not the only bias that AI can have — any correlation in the training data will be learned, but not necessarily causation — and the goal of these laws is to require the machines to be accurate, unbiased, up to date, respectful of privacy etc., with "not racist" as merely one example of why that matters.

(Also the existing laws on racial equality were not removed by GDPR; to the previous metaphor, the fence being better doesn't mean you can fire the ambulance service).
> Maybe don't put forward arguments that hinge on denial of reality?

Ironic. If I was able to meet reality, that would imply I have a full understanding of reality, at which point for what reason would there be to talk about it? That would be a pointless waste of time.

> 2023 Hollywood labor disputes show that "the poor" can indeed last longer than "the rich".

According to the internet, these "poor" you speak of are making average incomes into the hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. These are, generally, very rich people. Perhaps you aren't aware of what poor is?
> Arm CPUs are not better. To make a hardware design with MediaTek Genio 1200 (quadruple Cortex-A78) or Rockwell RK3588 (quadruple Cortex-A76), you still need to get under NDA the required documentation. Only for microcontrollers like those made by Renesas, Infineon, ST, NXP, Microchip etc. you may find the complete documentation on-line.

Perhaps less interesting, but there are a handful of Cortex-A SoCs from TI [0] and NXP [1, 2], at least, that have non-NDA datasheets and reference manuals.

Everyone has ‘cover’. It’s just the P&L sheet.

If they’re losing money on that store, they’ll close it. If not, they’ll keep it open. But it’s not mandated to keep a money losing store opened. No one’s going to go into court and argue, “no fair! They closed my money losing location!”

And there you have the real reason Apple doesn’t care about a union here. The performance of this location can be ascertained in a fashion that is authoritative, objective, and unassailable. If they ever lose money, they’ll close, union or no union. So it doesn’t make a difference to Apple.

I'm not sure there are many other production environments where the published "document" has as much internal work product open for inspection as these old files offer.

The other interesting part of it was that it was very much governed by a set of behavioral conventions at the time.
