Thanks. I get the idea, but the OP says,

"... results in dry conditions starkly illustrated the dangers of misusing fans. The scientists stopped the experiments after testing just 14 people because their cardiac stress went through the roof as the fan blew hot air on them. Nearly half the participants couldn’t stay in the test room for 3 hours. The reason for that dramatic response: The air was so dry that any sweat quickly evaporated, resulting in little additional cooling as the fan bathed participants in extremely hot air, Jay says."

Why would faster evaporation result in less cooling? I could make some guesses but I wonder what the reality is.

Possibly, they mean that the evaporation was exhausted quickly and after that, it was just a convection oven.

Given two prediction markets, one which varies wildly and one which is stable, the former will attract more users. Particularly the most profitable ones. Even if the underlying odds are unchanging, the volatile market is more “fit.”
I’d very much like to see some citations for those numbers, but my intuition is that the premise is likely valid, and that AI based personalization will likely lead to increased conversion rates for ads while decreasing production costs.

That’s not to say it would make the internet better. What’s good for the internet and what makes a lot of money are often at odds, and the latter usually wins.

This is the danger with non-empirical government funded “science”. Empiricism allows verification. Private funding means that things that matter get studied.

If you trace the oft-cited claim from “studies” that cats kill so and so animals a year you will find it’s just someone’s Fermi estimate. And you’ll find that the person has a personal distaste for housecats.

This approach is generally seen as unwanted by website owners (it's worth noting that automated API clients are distinct from regular user agents). As a “reverse engineer”, you have no idea how expensive or not an endpoint is to process a request.

Instead, I'd recommend reaching out to the website owners directly to discuss your API needs - they're often interested in hearing about potential integrations and use cases.

If you don't receive a response, proceeding with unauthorized API usage is mostly abusive and poor internet citizenship.

What gotcha?

I never said, either explicitly nor implicitly, that File.Exists() modifies access time.

There is nothing there in that comment nor it's parent.

OF_EXISTS is not a thing by itself. It does not "open a file and then close it" which is a ridiculous and incorrect thing you DID actually say. OF_EXISTS is just a bitmask flag that can be returned by several functions, including ones that open files.

You have said a continuos string of incorrect things and employed invalid logic this whole time, and this yet again fits.

correction: you said opens a file and closes it about OF_EXIST the bitmask flag to tell OpenFile() how you want to open it. Slightly less ridiculous, yet still not a thing that opens a file, OpenFile() opens the file.

> When you use fans in an area that doesn't have other external circulation, you introduce more energy into the system. This will increase increase temperature. From personal experience for a closed room, fans don't help if temperature even reaches 27degC.

Why wouldn't blowing 27C air over your 37C body cool you off? The fan isn't adding 10C to the room temperature (or you need a new fan).
Interesting, thanks for digging that answer out. HN is a treasure trove!
It's not measurable externally perhaps if the mechanism sufficiently mimics intelligence, but I'd argue that to do that the mechanism actually needs to answer at least some of the criteria above. It's also not necessarily something you can't measure depending on how the AI is built and what it exposes.

Are bees intelligent or do we use the same language in this case as "intelligent design", i.e. the behavior is complex and impressive?

Also this murkier for animals since they do possess some of the traits I mentioned like learning.

Although as I said this was off the top of my head, not an official definition.

One can also use sunflower or soy letchin instead of eggs. Letchin is the protein that provides the emulsification properties for eggs.

You still get the creamy texture without the egg taste. It's beneficial for fruit ice creams or anywhere you don't want the egg taste to overpower everything else. Letchin also does not need to be tempered like eggs so I toss it in with the rest of the dry ingredients.

Are you sure you're using 27% butterfat? Even ultra high premium ice cream is only 15-18%. I'm using about 15% for non fruit ice cream and I'm not using eggs, just letchin.

Yes, sorry for the rather pithy response, but separating out the "what changes" vs. "what doesn't" (config vs. code in your terms) is what makes these things possible.

As you also noted, doing this in plain terraform is kind of a pain, so using a tool like Hiera allows you to skip a lot of the work involved in doing it the "right" way. IMO if you're starting greenfield Pulumi (or CDK, anything that lets you use a "real" programming language) allows you to write (or consume!) that config in basically any form, instead of needing to funnel everything through a Terraform data provider.
> Tariff targets are generally chosen on industries that have an oversized impact on politicians

In 2016, when countries were trying to influence policy. There are other motivations for tariffs, from seeking autonomy from an unreliable trading partner to straight-up spite. There is also the domestic component: you target industries you have domestic competitors for because that now makes them happy.

Most people. "Loss aversion refers to a cognitive bias in which the same situation is perceived as worse if it is framed as a loss, rather than a gain" [1].

Couple years ago, I wanted about the same thing in HLSL language, for a Direct3D 11.0 compute shader. Here’s the fastest version I managed to make back then: https://github.com/Const-me/Cgml/blob/master/Mistral/Mistral...

As you see, I have implemented 32×32 tiling, using thread groups of 32×8 threads, two groupshared buffers to load tiles of the input matrices, and I accumulate numbers into local variables, 32 / 8 = 4 accumulators per thread.
Is this done for everyone or just people under wiretap orders? I don't see why the network wouldn't be able to downgrade selectively since phones automatically fail over and the VoLTE service could simply refuse to authenticate or whatever.
I worked at a few tech companies before 2000 that had a company cafe but they all required payment. It was cheaper and closer but not free, and not nearly the same level of quality. Charlie's et al. were all free, and I remember even seeing a TV news spot about the free food at Google specifically, in the months before I started there. I think I'd be okay crediting Google with the free lunch (and the nod towards TANSTAAFL that I suspect it was).

But dogfooding, yeah that had been around for a while. Originally from Alpo, iirc. The first tech company to adopt the term as well as the practice was Microsoft in 1988.

A/B existed before Google but 2000s era A/B testing and user research were unparalleled until Facebook also started putting serious capital into it. Nowadays it's considered table stakes but it was revolutionized in the beginning of the millennium. Maybe not entirely by Google but substantially so, and driven heavily by their product launch review process.

What ended piracy for common films was not DRM or videocassette seizures but the offer of cheap tapes and eventually cheap streaming that made it simply "not worth it" to pirate. The same is true of video games where paid players far outweigh pirates.

In other words, if the art film industry wants piracy to stop, it needs to bring all its materials together in a cheap subscription store that people can afford. Criterion[0] is one such product with outstanding content, real human curation, and a lower price than mainstream movie providers.

Democrats stopped using that word likely because seldom anyone actually used it in any significant way before it got co-opted by rhetoric that uses it to denigrate their critics. I seen it on twitter in the past but never on mainstream political discourse before it came out of Trumps mouth (in a way that crossed the Atlantic at least). Just being critical of issues that are not even controversial in Europe is enough to be tagged as infected by the woke mind virus on X/Twitter.

Coming from an "outside" view of American politics, the American left is incredibly conservative, both economically and morally so these labels are at best distractions and used by people to reinforce the duality of something that should be plural. This is a guilt that both democrats and republicans are carrying. Is just that Republicans are particularly nonchalant about what I view as anti democratic discourse.

I've seen something very similar in Brazil with the conservative parties in there adopting the "Petralha" (as in someone sympathetic to the Workers Party) or Communist as a way to denigrate any non conservative view independent of actual affiliation or opinion. Its not meant to be accurate, just mean to group all criticism together, because if you can do that, then its easier to use the stupid criticism (from radicals as you pointed out) as a reason to classify any criticism coming from "that kind of people" as stupid.

From the article shared (no the economist one) its clear that the definition adopted of woke by the author is cherry picked to be inflammatory. Likely real from some people but certainly not something that is shared among mainstream Democrats and I would bet not even a sizeable minority. Parts of it do resonate with the majority but thats part of the allure of using it, you create something obviously controversial that no one believes in full to tie everyone in the same bucket.

In order to get latent TB, you need exposure to someone with active TB. If someone with active TB meets the healthcare system, you get a rapid response from health departments. In May 2024, the Long Beach, CA declared a public health emergency [1] based on a cluster of 14 cases. This kind of reaction is typical and makes it difficult to spread to others, and keeps the levels of latent TB low.

I find it so fascinating the deep yearning some people have for contextless ontologies.

Someone decided to call the Mac Mini a workstation... for what purpose? Did categorizing it as a workstation illuminate or confuse the larger point they were trying to make? If the former, then it's a workstation in that context and if the latter, it's not, again in that context.

Fundamental to my worldview is that we put things into boxes solely to aid in communication and the box is not important except insofar as it serves that functional purpose. But for others, the boxes themselves are deeply important and a huge amount of effort is spent cramming continuous functions into discrete containers for the sheer, seeing like a stateesque satisfaction of seeing the world organized. I'll never understand it.

> what actually helps is (controversial opinion) to stop the killing. AVs are the only realistic path to that world.

You will have to explain why, because there's absolutely no evidence for that claim, and plenty of evidence for better solutions. As shown in Utrecht, right there in that video.

Cars are inefficient and dangerous, and it's not clear that AVs are going to be significantly better, whereas it's pretty clear that bikes and trams are.
Advertising cost is added to the product price. In order to generate one trillion dollars in advertising revenue, there would have to be about 20 trillion more in product spend. Civilization does not have another 20 trillion sitting around to spend.

Currently, consumers are totally bombarded with ads, on TV, on streaming, on social media, on websites. There are multiple copies of the same ad during an hour time slot. Consumers go from slight interest, to irritation, to disgust, to
nauseated.

Currently, the algorithms that target ads are complete failure. At least, they could get my gender right.

The next big advance in AI is going to be ad blockers for social media, streaming video, live television. Then the next step will be bots that respond to ads, with total click through rate and messages directly to the CEO of the company. Imagine an App that calls the CEO and replays the audio of their video ad. Or an App that DM's the CEO for every social media ad. The CEO bothered a million people, let the million respond directly to the CEO.

There isn't any evidence that surveillance-based advertising performs any better than context-based advertising. Remember, vendors didn't choose this method of selling -- platforms did. It's become a collar on all of commerce, a tax that everyone must pay to reach the eyeballs they want.

The winner here is the platforms who push surveillance advertising models. It's not better for advertisers and definitely not for users and LLM-based content will not help one bit.
Yes, the CDC is trying to give advice that won't kill vulnerable people - if they get it wrong, people die. Imagine that's your job every day. Whether healthy young people are comfortable is very secondary.

>The arguments seem very "God of the gaps" in nature.

It is an argument from ignorance, but the timescales of pottery (1-20k ya) dwarf the porcelain thrones and nitrous oxide disposables that will be the only remaining artifact of our existence in 10 million years.

Which is still a brief moment in time, compared to the timescales of the epoch proceeding.
I think he means corn starch (which is also common in gelato made without eggs). There's better stabilizers out there, but Jeni suggested in her book the most common people can find.

The cream cheese is for adding more milk solids and most cream cheese has some stabilizers in it as well.

Something like a 4:2:1 ratio of locus bean gum, guar gum and lambda carrigean makes a good stabilizer. About a gram of LBG per quart

Jeni's books have some great ideas for recipes, but if you're interested in the science behind ice cream making the recipe book by Dana Cree is much more informative

Most (but not all) good recipes also measure in mass (grams) instead of volume. Super easy to measure and less dishes to wash when you put the bowl on a scale and keep hitting tare after each inclusion.

This reminds me of a GoPro I borrowed from a friend.

He got a new GoPro and mounted it on his bicycle. That first trip he took with it he was hit by a car.

As he was recovering, I borrowed it for a motorcycle trip I was about to go on. Mounted it on the bike, and ended up lowsiding on a mountain pass. I'm sure it was the GoPro and not my fault at all.

There were only two recordings that GoPro ever recorded and both ended in injuries for the rider. I don't think it was ever used again.

Interesting point, though I think we should also consider that our ability to understand diseases like cancer has historically been limited by the observational and analytical technology available. For example, it was recently suggested that Alzheimer’s might be linked to Candida albicans, a fungus that naturally inhabits our bodies but could play a role in the disease. Just as it took time to discover that iodine deficiency causes goiter or that H. pylori produces ulcers, the complexity of cancer might partly stem from the fact that we don’t yet have the necessary technology to closely observe the cells and underlying mechanisms. It’s not necessarily the inherent complexity of the problem but our technological limitations that delay understanding—and possibly a cure.
> An artificial intelligence is an intelligence.

If artificial intelligence is exactly the same as intelligence, then wouldn't we just call that intelligence? People won't use words if there is no useful meaning conveyed. I am not sure you have made clear what useful information is found within "artificial".

> I'd assumed "and not natural / created" was a given

And, really, what does it mean to be not natural or created in this context anyway? The dictionary definition is kind of hand wavy to begin with, leaving whether humans with intelligence are natural or created up to interpretation.
No, the meanings are just different. 60 years ago AI was a clever imperfect search of an array. There are multiple meanings. Yours is not the only one.
