Liposarcoma is a comparatively rare type of cancer.

If the parent's hypothesis is:

"less exercises == higher weight == more cells == (more mitosis / mutagenic potential) == more cancer"

Which tissue type is accounting for most of the weight difference (in equal height people) who do and don't exercise?

You could even reverse this and look at body builders with greater muscularity than average. The number of cells itself is clearly not the cause of increased cancer risk, because neither fat nor muscle cells cause the most common cancers.

They can use at least everything available up to the end of the first HTTP request:

* IP path selected & latency

* TCP TTL, window settings & extensions

* TLS ClientHello: extensions, ciphers, hash algos, etc

* HTTP/2 settings & behavior

* HTTP request headers

If you're interested in digging further into this set, look up JA3, which has variants that address most or all of those above.

If they redirect you to an intermediate page, their attack surface gets much larger, including everything in the JavaScript APIs and browser behavior.

* Extended client hints

* Canvas fingerprint

* WebGPU fingerprint

* WebRTC fingerprint

* TTS voices

* Fonts

* Battery state

* <link> preload behavior and timing

(and the list goes on and on and on, because browsers are huge and only slightly designed for privacy)

This is assuming they aren't willing to use any of the persistent state techniques, like cache poisoning, HSTS pinning, or simple old cookies.

These are mostly useful for catching cases where someone is trying to lie about which OS or browser they are using, or where they are using the same machine and instrumented browser foolishly.

It is said that NSA has requested the addition of POPCNT to the Control Data Corporation CDC 6600 (1964), as a condition for procurement.

The condition has remained in force later, so all its successors, like CDC 7600 (1969) or Cray-1 (1976), have included POPCNT.

POPCNT has been added to the x86 ISA by AMD, in "Barcelona", in 2007, presumably because some customer for AMD Opteron has requested it. This happened during the period when the AMD server CPUs were much better than the Intel Xeons, so any wise customer was buying Opterons, not Xeons. Intel has followed AMD and it has added POPCNT to Nehalem, in 2008/2009 (for server CPUs, Nehalem has been the first that was better for any purpose than the AMD server CPUs, unlike for consumer CPUs, where Intel had surpassed AMD already since the middle of 2007, with Core 2).

You need far greater reaction speeds for a viable quadcopter to remain stable than an ICE, much less a turbojet engine, is capable of.

It helps that they are economically tied to their policy successes, as they are in the business of manufacturing and selling toolkits for DIY tech repairers.

The press seems to treat iFixit very favorably. I'm not quite sure why, as what they do is little different than Ford lobbying for truck-friendly policy or Smith & Wesson lobbying for gun-friendly policy. That said, they are nice enough folks and I wish them all the success in the world, especially as they are HQ'd here in my home town.

The term "abuse" in this description is both confused and confusing. Websites are trying to meter out a public resource, which is something they're unable to do by themselves. Cloudflare is offering to help them, for a fee. Once the practice is metered, it isn't abuse anymore. It's just using the public service, which the website owner deliberately operates.

Even if you could get around the payload and energy density (power autonomy) constraints, which are very stringent, this seems like a dead product. Sure, it’s a cool project for some controls engineers. But I can scarcely imagine the deafening noise this thing makes, and no doubt it would tend to kick up clouds of dust anywhere it went, which is hardly desirable from a health perspective. This kind of device would be a permanent irritant in almost any environment. Thankfully, buildings are already well equipped with things like elevators. I’ll keep my wheeled cart, thank you very much.
Well, OP's POV is challenging you to reconcile your views with the information they presented. You say you prefer in-person for productivity reasons. TFA provides several sources indicating that working remote actually improves productivity.

So, you can either disagree with the books/studies based on your anecdotal experiences or specific circumstances, in which case the rest of the article isn't relevant to you (and unless you consider yourself an 'elite', it probably never was). Or you can understand that you may have a flawed understanding of the relationship between remote work and productivity, leading to your current opinion on the matter. Or you could have another motive, which may or may not be one of the reasons presented in the article. Which one sounds the most likely to you?

I’ve worked 3x12, 4x10, and 5x8 over the years.

I have to say, 3x12, even if I had to stretch it to 13.3 hours to get it up to an even 40, was my favorite. I’d go back to that in a heartbeat.

For those 3 days I didn’t really do anything other than work and sleep. However, I then had 4 days off each week. It was almost like not having a job.

The time off left me well rested, and the long hours meant I could get a lot done and really dig into stuff. When I went down to 8 hour days it felt so short, like I didn’t have time to really doing anything… but it was everyday, so it was a grind without ever feeling like I had a break.

4x10 was ok, but in some ways the worst of both worlds. The days were long, but it still felt like a bit of a grind compared to 3x12.

Before Rich made Clojure for the JVM, he wrote dotLisp[1] for the CLR. Not long after Clojure was JVM hosted, it was also CLR hosted[2].

The Cayenne’s max wading depth is just shy of 20 inches, about the same as Subaru Forester.

I can find some evidence that people called the Cayenne Turbo GT a hypercar, but nobody calls the base model a supercar. Know why? It doesn’t have the engine. You completely dismissed the small family commuter engine. The engine is the primary thing that makes a high performance car high performance, and base Cayenne simply does not have a high performance engine. And so far you’ve ignored the Macan entirely. These base models don’t have the suspension or brakes or other components for good off-roading. People seem to prefer the Turbo with off-road suspension, better brakes, off road tires, and many other upgrades that together more than double the price compared to a base Cayenne.

It’s true that Porsche makes a supercar, like the 911 GT3, but the base Cayenne and Macan models are just widely considered luxury SUVs and nothing more. Maybe Porsche doesn’t make very many family commuter cars, but they do make a few (that happen to sell well because they’re cheaper than sports cars.)

If YouTube really minded freeloaders, they would put the whole video catalog behind a paywall.

But, they won't do it, because the 99 % (source: my behind) of people who don't pay for YouTube give it extreme social relevance. If they turned the site into an exclusive, paid club, another tech giant (Amazon? ByteDance?) would roll out a competitor in a week and would take the "biggest free video catalog" spot instead of Google, and they would do it happily. The biggest obstacle to doing that and trying to compete right now, network effects, would be instantly gone.

As such, I believe Google's appetite for jacking up the subscribers' price is much larger than their willingness to gamble the site's social capital. YouTube is massive in terms of its cultural impact over the last two decades and I am not saying Google isn't stupid enough to risk this legacy if they were really hurting financially, but I can't imagine the current circumstances with the current percentage of ad-blocking and the current ratio of subscribers to non-subscribers or the loss Google incurs running YouTube (which I am not even sure there is any anymore) are even in the same numerical system as the values it would take for Google to consider doing anything real with the so called "freeloaders".

Congrats for the launch!

Apologies for the self-promotion, but I've done something similar for Telegram, and I believe some people here might be also' interested in that.

I also wanted to record more of my life, so I created a Telegram bot that saves all messages you send it into a Google Spreadsheet.

Hashtags can be used to split the text into sheets and columns, if so desired. Besides jotting down quick thoughts, this is very handy for short-form journaling such as tracking expenses, workouts, mood, period, weight, diet, etc., with the added bonus of easy charting and summarization from within the spreadsheet. It also supports pictures and other attachments that are uploaded automatically to Google Drive and linked into the spreadsheet.

Feel free to check it out, it's free of charge and does not require any registration: https://t.me/gsheet_notes_bot

My reading is that since she left before the paramedics arrived, that was before they insisted that he's OK.

I rather think the cause is that inbound bandwidth is usually free, so they need maybe 1/100th of the money because requests are smaller than responses (plus discounts they get for being big customers)
This looks great. I hope it'll get a Switch port.
In the US, pharmacies absolutely compete, but the model is complex. They are delivering service to a party that is not always the one paying (Patient vs. Insurer). They can dispense the same drug from multiple suppliers with wildly different costs in some cases (Original vs. Generic). Most of their customers have some sort of coverage, so the coupons don't apply. The drug companies really hate when their are articles about people dying because they can't afford meds, so they have coupon programs for the uninsured, but keep the list price high since that is the starting point for negotiating with the insurers.

Don't forget that doctors are completely disconnected with cost. They don't even know their own rates that will be charged to the patient in many cases, let alone what the cost of drugs are, and what portion of that the patient will end up paying.

So on the patient side, the pharmacy will compete for patients with convenience, while the insurer will try to steer the patient to approved generic drugs and manufacturers with negotiated deals, while the drug companies are trying to steer the patient to the most expensive name brand drugs. Oh yeah, and then there are the unlucky minority that don't have insurance or have insurance that won't cover the drug they need, and they get a coupon.

It is SUPER fucked.

The answer is that there are at least four parties in any pharmacy transaction (Dr., Pharmacy, patient, drug maker, and sometimes insurer) that all have different incentives. Some that overlap, and some that are opposed.

The report states plant decommissioning is 2.7B GBP and ILW disposal is 0.3B GBP. That sort of agrees with https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=33792 which puts PWR at perhaps 1B USD per plant.

Handling and disposing on the used fuel is 4.4B GBP (or 73M GBP per year of running, or 2.6 GBP per MWh of electricity). Cheap!

Broken hardware does not make the protocol lossy. I think you're misunderstanding what 'lossless' is intended to mean in this context; it does not mean that it is error-free. In a lossy protocol, missing data is not necessarily an error. In a lossless protocol, missing data is treated as an error, which is consistent with what you experienced.
Because the quality of the code is at best very, very loosely related to the quality of the end product. I mean, what are many of the issues you see in poorly designed sites, apps, programs, etc?

Usually a mix of poor design choices and hostile design.

Neither of these directly correlate to the quality of the code, how quickly it was created, how many bugs it has, etc.

If everyone working in tech (or any sort of programming related project in general) was an expert level programmer with decades of experience, neither of these things would be noticeably better. They'd still create software that's miserable to use because of bad design, and we'd still have companies trying to scam the users by making basic functionality hard to use (see cookie notices, unsubscribe processes, etc).
Same. I struggled and struggled to print things on a two year old Qidi that just worked on a Bambu Labs X1. The Bambu has limits but they are in a very different place. The pace of development in this area is wild. Patent law may be slamming on the brakes though.
Yann LeCun (Vice-President, Chief AI Scientist at Meta):

AI datacenters will be built next to energy production sites that can produce
gigawatt-scale, low-cost, low-emission electricity continuously.

Basically, next to nuclear power plants.

The advantage is that there is no need for expensive and wasteful
long-distance distribution infrastructure.

Note: yes, solar and wind are nice and all, but they require lots of land
and massive-scale energy storage systems for when there is too little sun
and/or wind. Neither simple nor cheap.

With FPGAs I can sample a hundred high precision ADCs in parallel and feed them through DSP, process 10Gb ethernet at line rate, etc with deterministic outcomes (necessary given safety and regulatory considerations). They integrate well with CPUs and other coprocessors - heterogeny isn't wrong. Plus training a NN model also takes days! To be fair not always, but for the above applications my build time was hours to many-hours anyway.

I grant the hardware is absurdly expensive at the high end, but I really don't think application wise the comparison is apples to apples.

Hotzs saying literally everything with an io pin or actuator will be driven solely by NN (driven by tinygrad) seems to me maybe 1/3 self promotion, 1/3 mania, some much smaller amount incisive at best.
