Surpsied at how red Australia is... although we are trying to lighten our complexion by exporting all that iron ore to China.

‘The Magus’, by John Fowles. Masterful. I have only read a few chapters but I highly recommend ‘The Beginning of Infinity’ by David Deutsch, it’s just so interesting!

I second this, it’s incredible, so well crafted.

Hey, this is pretty interesting, you can sear food with a laser with good control over how deep the heating penetrates. This could be good for ‘torching’ fragile proteins like seafood. It’ll probably only be used for some highly processed f

I agree the water is (obviously) perfectly safe, it was the popularity of the produce I was questioning.

All those construction problems are pretty nerve wracking to read about. It seems that the major risks of these plants has shifted from operational hazards and design flaws to possible construction faults. > The waste heat, an output com

Military spending isn’t measurable in a reliable way. Military spending has many other dependencies beyond accumulating destructive force, eg jobs, petrodollar concerns. Disarmament treaties have a clear game theoretic rationale for the mos

Correct. Having said that most proteins we are interested in fold in a narrow range of pH and temperatures as maintained in a cell in a large organism.

Derek Lowe draws a similar conclusion: https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/more-protein-foldi... The real ‘breakthrough’ IMHO is that deep learning is so generally useful, rather than any specific applicatio

My take on this is that if you live in a country where there was widespread use of less effective vaccines, where resources are limited for booster doses, and there is very limited access to treatments which we now know reduce disease sever

There is one misconception to avoid about having kids. People focus too much on the part where children are young, presumably because this is the part they see happening around them. At the same time they ignore what it means to have childr

Yes, this is what I’m worried about (from Australia).

A major issue I have with these ergo keyboards is the impossibility of trying them before buying them. Any solutions for this? I guess it is pay to play or stick with normal layouts.

And another from The Magus by John Fowles: "...cynicism masks a failure to cope - an impotence, in short; and that to despise all effort is the greatest effort of all."

It's awkward to be sure, and often seems out of place, but that is Anime. Evangelion is no different. To be fair, there are such gratuitous elements in most TV and movies.

Note that these mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD), essentially toxic fat overload to generate disease phenotypes that one can demonstrate an improvement in. Mice normally eat a mainly grain based diet, so getting 45% of calories from fat

Some great advice here already. It is a little hard to be more specific without knowing what the disease is. An important first step is to consider the probability that this is a condition with a genetic basis, based on what is already know

I have used a full size Ducky mechanical, and TKL cheap mechanical, all with Cherry Brown switches. To be honest, I didn't find it a revelation. I currently use a Microsoft Sculpt and I generally prefer it for the ergonomics. My typing

Agreed, there are few/no options if you have decent eyesight and want high pixel density.

BetterDummy solves mouse stutter on external displays as well! (M1 air with 1080p monitor) Does nobody at Apple use external monitors??

The Sensirion does pretty OK for the price and form factor.

I beg to differ. I think that in the current era, where there is a lot of live footage of people and uncurated writings like twitter, the stature of 'the genius' will inevitably be reduced. Consider someone like Newton where every

Very charitable, thank you, but it was a mistake, apologies for the confusion.

Hmm, IAMNAM, but it looks like what happened is that the model automatically learned some nontrivial structure to a mathematical problem. This is pretty f*&king exciting if you ask me.

Need to make a drug out of the small molecule inhibitor. There is a medicinal chemistry process that takes quite a while (several years at times) to get to something you can actually give to people. Then there is safety testing in animals.

Can you give an example of such a nutrient? I think a reduced intake diet without excluding large categories of food is very unlikely to result in nutrient deficiency. We are surrounded by food that has very high nutritional value. A steak

There is no universal advice, correct, hence my qualifying statement at the end.

One option is to eat less of everything. This may sound dumb but in the current stone age understanding of nutrition and health, it is a reasonable option. The only foods which are ‘definitely safe’ are leafy greens and cruciferous vegetabl
