How would that affect the inference being made here? That is, the claim being made is with regard to combined cardiovascular events. This effect is significant and the GRADE quality is moderate.

One of the main purposes of meta-analyses is to summate multiple studies that may have insufficient statistical power in isolation to find a significant effect, but when summated they do.

I _think_ you're trying to suggest that the insignificant individual event types aren't contributing to the significant findings on the combined event endpoint, so we should ignore the GRADE quality of those (correct me if I'm wrong). But that's not how meta analysis functions - those events are also contributing to the significant finding on that endpoint (which is also why the GRADE quality of the combined endpoint is moderate). They just aren't significant _in isolation_.
We need a housing policy reset, the OAPs shouldn't have the majority of their retirement assets tied up in a 1.4M illiquid house. They need an affordable off-ramp to downsize, and we need to build more affordable housing to deflate the market. This is wildly unpopular because lots of people are already over-leveraged trying to get onto the property ladder, but objectively it's the correct course to start to unfuck things.

The purpose of a house or apartment should be shelter for a family, not a retirement plan or an investment for a corporation.

Many people here may not be familiar with David Moser, the author of this article. He’s frequently mentioned in Douglas Hofstadter’s book Le Ton Beau le Marot (fantastic book on language and translation BTW) in regards to matters related to Mandarin. He was a well known (as Mo Dawei) in China’s xiangsheng scene (a verbal comedy routine, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangsheng#:~:text=Xiangshen....) and is probably one of the most knowledgeable foreigners on Mandarin. He started learning it in college in mid 80s.

The problem there was also that it attracted some pretty seriously incompatible ideologies. Like neonazis on gab.com and tankies on lemmy.ml for example. That was never going to end well. How are they supposed to come to an agreement on moderation :)

And then in the middle of that you have the German instances that demand everyone else pledges to follow their peculiar local laws precisely to the latter or get banned.

Fwiw I'm with none of the above groups, I'm pro LGBT/progressive for which there's also a lot of instances but I'm just sad that the fediverse didn't come out.

Having said that, some instances have really made a name for themselves like beehive <3
They always had other methods. Droitwich is more akin to a troubleshooting step - if Inskip is quiet but Droitwich is loud, there's a problem with Inskip. If every site falls quiet at the same time .. well on to the next step.

It's a bit like losing communication with one host, and pinging another to see if it's you or them - the 'other' isn't loadbearing.
I wouldn't say it's a fallacy. Something can be necessary without being sufficient. Doing is necessary to learn to do, and certainly to learn to do well, but it's no guarantee of outcome.

Deciding where to spend it is most certainly hard but accounting for it is very easy. Even if the money was $100K to Jimmy to get the stuff into Algeria, there would be some tracking and accountability.

It's weird that with the sort of numbers that could lift some countries out of poverty, we can't even write something down in a spreadsheet.
Well, qualitative differences of the outcomes are there though.

No, it's 17% for reduction in SFA. It's 21% for replacement of SFA with PUFA.

Yes, it's not significantly associated with a lower risk of ACM, but that doesn't mean they don't increase ACM risk. It just means that in these relatively short RCTs, a significant finding on a very insensitive endpoint like ACM was not found. That's not surprising, you wouldn't necessarily expect to see such a finding. For that you'd want longer or larger RCTs (unlikely due to cost) or prospective cohort studies (which do show a significant effect on ACM).

I don't think that this is true. The velocity of the particle entering the "high" side of the field does not affect the force applied on the particle by the field. Check out the wiki article on [cyclotrons][1]. I think the trick is turning the field on and off.

Again, I'm no expert.

Solar allows one to prepay for power. Would be nice to see more efficient financing for it.

Using solar to heat and cool, heat water and run your dryer is quite a bit more. And generally doing the HVAC efficiently requires a large investment in insulation. Those non solar costs may dominate.
Honest question, why is this your reaction? Why are people on this forum so unwilling to be happy for others? I have noticed that this attitude is extremely prominent in tech. Everything is either perfect (according to the person making the judgement) or it’s utterly worthy of ridicule. I am growing very, very tired of seeing this throughout tech.
> Well, they'll transfer all they own into a corporation. They can't tax assets like that on business because it'll crash the economy super quick

Thanks for that. I've always thought that wealth isn't taxed heavily because it's the wealthy that make the laws. That still may be part of it, but this surely is too.

As a side note, I'm puzzled as to where this seemingly prevalent (here, at least) sentiment of letting people ride public transport for free has suddenly come from? It makes absolutely no sense, but is being said as if it's the most obvious thing in the world!

An expired certificate still encrypts your traffic. You might have to change settings or click through a scary warning in your browser, but other than that a certificate doesn't magically quit working as soon as it expires. The expiration date is arbitrary.
Also e.g. MS Word suggests getting rid of qualifiers.

With papers and especially grant applications it's ridiculous that everybody knows they are overpromising but still they don't go through of they don't overpromise.

Oxfam calls for a green overhaul of the US Export-Import Bank
October 17, 2023 By Oxfam
Financial institution must divest from fossil fuels to align with Biden administration’s climate policy goals

As mounting climate concerns cause extreme weather events, & global efforts intensify to keep warming below 1.5°C, Oxfam calls on the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) to cease funding fossil fuel projects to instead champion just & clean energy initiatives.

In a new research report published today, “Alignment of the United States Export-Import Bank with the US climate & development policy objectives,” Oxfam America & Perspectives Climate Research found that EXIM has financed hundreds of fossil fuel projects globally since its founding & continues to finance the most climate damaging sectors: at least 60% of its current $40+ billion portfolio directly supports fossil fuel-producing or dependent sectors like oil, gas, & aviation.

Despite a requirement in its charter to devote 5% of its funding to renewable energy, energy efficiency, & storage, in 2021, only $72 million – or 1.25% of EXIM’s new authorizations – were considered environmentally beneficial, & only 0.2% were for renewable energies.

“EXIM has long dragged its feet on shifting its portfolio to support the energy transition that the US needs, both to remain competitive in the global economy & to stop locking in dirty fossil fuel infrastructure propelling the world to climate catastrophe,” said Daniel Mulé, Oxfam America’s Policy & Program Manager for Just Energy Transition & Extractives. “As countries worldwide rise to meet the challenges of the climate crisis, our American institutions must follow suit.”

EXIM’s trajectory also runs counter to the Biden Administration’s climate goals & leaves the US trailing behind international counterparts like European export credit agencies (ECAs). Denmark’s ECA, for example, has been supporting renewable energies with at least $1 billion, or 75% of its portfolio, every year since 2015.

“Taking the energy transition seriously & fully aligning EXIM with the US climate commitments would be a clear win-win situation for Democrats & Republicans, for exporters & foreign buyers, as well as for present & future generations,” said report co-author Igor Shishlov, Head of Climate Finance at Perspectives Climate Research.

“Phasing out support of the fossil fuel industries & supporting renewables would greatly boost the competitiveness of American clean tech companies, bolster the role of the US as a leader in the global transition towards clean energy, & lead to more & better paying jobs for Americans in the clean energy sector.”

Okay Mao.
It's nice to have solar panels, I have them too and while they do generate even more electricity than I need, they do so in around 6 to 7 months peaking in July. So in winter, it's grid power and in summer I might need to pay to feed in the surplus. This is in the Netherlands. It's kind of sad to see all that electricity unused in summer, and knowing I could have enough for all of the winter if only there was some way to store it, all of the 1MWh..
> If most consumers do not need the reliability feature then companies that don't offer reliability deserve to be high market cap

This is exactly the question of this lawsuit. Turns out, customers want this reliability and are willing to pay lawyers for a suit to get compensation for lack of said reliability.

> Are you going to sue the duct tape company?

No. But I will sue them if they claim to work for a specific purpose and then put an asterisk that apparently takes away liability.

Would you not sue a car company that claims to drive people around with all safety bells and whistles, but then puts an asterisk that takes away manufacturers liability if the seatbelt stops working suddenly?
No one uses Sanskrit anymore.

Thar said, South Asian languages are phonetic so similar problems to Chinese do not exist.

The best comparison for character amnesia in Chinese would probably be Japanese.

$88 amortized over 15 years is only $16k. It’s really impressive they can get it done for that much, although I suspect labor has to be free at that cost.
I’d be curious what batteries they went with and how it’s organized (aka the more technical side)
As I reflect and re-read my comment, I think for me it’s simply I’m overloaded.

Looking at a face while talking vs. a tree just increases the mental energy necessary for the call. When you’re chronically exhausted, you start cutting out the little things that seemingly don’t matter (like someone’s body language or facial expression during a call)

Definitely a tangent here. Love the warehouse example though. Similarly, I can’t for the life of me recite my iphone, Apple Watch, or home security alarm PIN codes. It’s just pure muscle memory at this point. When I try to recall the PIN codes in my head, my mind immediately tries to recall the numbers by visualizing my phone (or alarm keypad) and attempting to remember the movement of my fingers in order to deduce what the numbers are.
Looking at the posted pictures, it seems like they're living in heaven. Good to know the panels will be good for at least 40 years.

Still, I'm kind of left wondering, where will they be in 40 years. Can life really be so predictable?
The US often just says 'AM radio' to refer to the MW band, because they don't have commercial broadcasting on the LW band, so there's no need to disambiguate. In the UK we usually specify LW or MW because both bands are in use for 'AM radio' (for now ..).

Same way we just say FM for the 88-108 broadcast band. Were there two FM broadcast bands, we'd need to give them different names.
> Do you think the original person making the claim was referring to high serum cholesterol

What I think is that your behavior is quite strange, to create a fake profile just to post a link "debunking" the author. Do you have something personal against her?

And then when you got corrected, in place of recognizing you said something wrong, you double-down your irrational behavior: "shadow boxing against an imaginary interlocutor". Yeah because the original interlocutor makes stupid questions.
>Why are people on this forum so unwilling to be happy for others?

It's a particularly offensive part of white culture that fetishizes a "return to the land" while billions around the world are trapped miserably eeking out that existence with literally zero opportunity to ever have anything else.

The only reason you feel "happy" for them is because you know its a cosplay charade they could walk away from at any time. Otherwise we would call this what it is; destitute poverty.
From the article:

Solar panels and batteries depend on a global supply chain and take their own toll on the environment, but the life cycle emission of solar is ~40 gCO2/kWh, 25x lower than coal's 1,000 gCO2/kWh. And buying solar fuels innovation—such as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries now on the horizon.
They're not supposed to come to an agreement on moderation. The whole idea behind federation is that a company is not trying to navigate a middle ground between Nazis and chinese communists! :-)
It'd be more convincing if the "problems with Wikipedia" section referenced anything from the last decade. (Also, one of the three things that apparently warranted being called out as an example was pretty petty -- the ArbCom member's on-wiki job didn't have anything to do with how they misrepresented their credentials.)
Pollen is great. I wish it was more widely used. One of the only reasons I don't use it for most things is that adding the whole of Racket as a dependency comes across as a little much.

One of my "one day..." projects is to try and reimplement a subset of Pollen using https://github.com/racket/zuo which I think would make it much easier to integrate as a much smaller dependency. But maybe the whole "ease of use" budget is blown by using a Lisp in the first place. :)

In any case, if you've ever had to write a technical manual before (or some kind of heavy technical reference), I think you should give Pollen a try. It has much more general answers to a lot of problems you encounter when writing complex web documents. It is an interesting, useful, and pragmatic point in the design space, IMO.

Everything is relative though. Bikes also don’t grow on trees but they are several orders of magnitude more green then cars.
It makes me think of a common trick in stargazing that is to look at stars with peripheral vision. Fixating them will make them disappear.

That's because the fovea, the "high resolution" part of the eye we use when focusing on some point is entirely made of cone cells, which give you color vision, but are less sensitive, as opposed to rod cells, that make up most of the peripheral vision. In other words, peripheral vision is better in low light situations.

so does that mean accessing the DOM from python is not possible yet?

for the second question the example you gave is equivalent to what in plain html/js?
The article points out that, because Chinese is not a phonetic language, if you don't know how to write something, you might not be able to write it at all, while in phonetic languages you can always spell something that sounds the same. E.g. "snees" for "sneeze".
@dang: maybe change the submitted link? Thanks!
Improving Pinterest Search Relevance Using LLMs
I guess what the article means is that it's not possible to read with peripheral vision except with very large font size and up close. Was your aunt able to read normal print besides titles? Also, I just tried out of curiosity. I must imagine only her fovea was unusable, and the area just around it (I think it's like 5° off-axis) was still fine, because I think I have pretty good peripheral vision, and I can't make out anything if I intentionally look away from what I'm trying to read. Certainly not on a phone; I have to get it so close to my face that it goes out of focus.

By the way, while it is true that cones are far more densely packed in the fovea, their function is color vision, not central vision. Rods are responsible for motion perception and vision in low-light environments.

This is just crazy, why not make public transport as cheap as peanuts to begin with? Why does everything have to be so damn expensive? Why the heck does a monthly transport pass have to cost, let me check, around 200 pounds?, what the fricking fuck?!?! Why don't the common people in the West rise up against this perverted shit? 2400 pounds per year just to have the privilege to take the bus/metro?

Yes. If you come to conclusions independently and those conclusions survive positively for hundreds of years, credit is due
This is pretty cool, but if you're rewriting resource names server side then you need some machinery to rewrite references to those resources. I see the example you linked shows the root HTML being generated server-side from a template so content hash names can be injected into the template. Looks reasonable. Not so great for dealing with things like `import` calls in javascript (for deferred loading of script modules), if those need to be rewritten as well.

Your JS bundler (if you use one!) might be effectively rewriting imports anyway so it can be convenient to do the content-hash-named-files rewrites in the same place. But not everyone wants to use a bundler for that.
You barely remember anything from your toddler years, but they were some of the most impactful in your education.

Hmm yeah but the idea was not to duplicate moderation a thousand times. And then where is your community?

My problem is that the fediverse is tearing itself apart on tiny differences. Lots of instances have banned others from the same ideology because one little time someone said something one of the founders didn't agree with.

It's just not working like this. I think ideological choices should be made by the end user.

I think the instance should be agnostic like an internet browser. And moderation done by the groups the user subscribes to. That's the model that works. We had exactly this in Usenet which is just not really used anymore due to complex technical implementation.
I'm someone who was once taken in by a lot of this nonsense. They're good at finding a handful of studies they can present in a way that seems convincing, and couple that with the general mistrust people have for the modern diet, and you've set the stage quite well. Further prevent people from realizing that no nutritional scientist anywhere is suggesting that the shit we shovel into our mouths daily is the right course of action. Next, present them with diets that necessarily result in caloric restriction, along with cutting out one or two of the half dozen awful things we eat, and have people see personal success in their weight going down, lipid markers improving, etc., from where they were prior when they were eating the absolute worst sort of diet they could.

Now they seem like people who are renegades fighting against the establishment for the good of personal health.

It all unravels once you start really digging in to things, but if you don't have the time or inclination for it, them appearing as a guest on a podcast and presenting you with this snazzy package specifically designed to lead you astray is really coupled with some testimonials from people touting it's efficacy makes a compelling case.
