Is that true? I’m seeing that cruise ships emit a lot of particulates (namely sulphur dioxide), but the actual co2-equivalent numbers I’m seeing are 0.8t/passenger for cruise ships - which is bad, but not quite as bad as described in y

I was under the impressing that the Roche test was an outlier, and that most other tests do not match that. Most other tests have issues with cross reactivity with common cold antibodies.

The test is easy, but has a relatively high false positive rate. It also may use up lab resources that could be put to other uses. The other wrinkle (and possibly the most important one) is that we don’t want to create a system where antiva

The other thing is that it’s (in the absence of specific bot detection) really really easy to cheat at online chess. Just crack open your chess app of choice and crank the AI skill to max. With marathons you have to sneak on and off the cou

Wow. IPV4 addresses aren’t free, but they’re not usually that expensive either.

Ah sorry! That’s fair - I understand what you’re saying now. That said, I’d argue that this is a bit of people wanting their cake and to eat it too. They want a contradiction - to be close to everything (so they can walk places and be in th

They’re illegal because people vote for representatives who makes them illegal and show up to city council meetings to petition for them to be illegal. Existing areas in that style tend to be expensive, but are often (at least where I’ve li

Again, the law isn’t enforced by robots and is able to adapt such that “clever legal hacks” don’t typically work. Us programming nerds tend to think in terms of rigid, unambiguous rules that treat inputs as black boxes, but the law does not

I think you’re missing that the law considers intent. If the devs of copilot were not trying to set up infringement, then their algorithm’s output is likely not considered infringement [1]. However, if you set out to “launder” copyrighted m

Wix and Shopify are both multi billion dollar companies that give casual users access to websites that would previously require dedicated devs. This is done via elaborate WYSIWYG website editing. There used to be decent business in low-end

“Business reasons” and “convenience for end users” are not entirely decoupled because developer time is not infinite or free. As an end user, the app that exists on my platform (Figma on windows) is better than the app that never got ported

That’s a bit like saying “most large modern systems are written in C which was invented in 1972, therefore software engineering has not changed since the 70s/80s”. That machine is also probably not running a gcode flavour that would ha

That’s not quite true. Your body can decide to do different things with the calories it gets, including storing them. There appear to be a number of things that influence if and how calories are stored, including the source/type of the

I don’t think is true at all. CAM is dramatically more advanced than it was in the 70s - easier to use, and better algorithms mean much faster pathing. Costs are way down. Tooling is cheaper and more reliable.

I’m not sure I buy that there are that many links encoded as FTP that you’d hit during normal browsing. Chrome dropped support a year or so ago, so any website depended on FTP already has required a separate FTP client for 85% of users. It

That’s similar to my feeling too. I’m sure the technology is neat, but it seems very esoteric and hard to get started with.

The paper in question was desk rejected. This isn’t a failure of peer review, it’s a clerical error.

I absolutely agree with this. A lot of what’s in papers is boilerplate - stuff to say “yes, I’ve read the other relevant works. Yes, I understand how qualitative research works. No, my study is not based on the opinions of my four closest f

Lots of people make other people’s jobs “harder” with good reason. Things like code review, legal compliance, IT policy, etc are just “overhead” if you assume that your knowledge is infallible - but people are fallible and we need systems

That makes sense. The only thing I’ll say is: > Why not do that now as soon as you get any type of loan? With other assets your bank can repossess something - but there’s no real way to repossess an education.

Dumb question (and actually a question, I’m not trying to JAQ here) - wouldn’t that make the dominant strategy for many to as quickly as possible declare bankruptcy upon graduation? Sure it would make it way harder to buy a house in the fut

Sorry, your house has 200 circuits? Is every outlet on its own circuit or something? Maybe I’m biased because my house is old, but I’ve never heard of having that much copper in the walls.

Assuming GitHub isn’t lying, no it isn’t. They claim the vast majority of output is original, much like how GPT3 typically generates original text (although can sometimes output inputs verbatim). If that’s their intent and they haven’t deli
