We do have a blunt B-cell reset tool though. Rituximab has been in use for two decades now, and recently there are newer drugs based on the same idea that are even more human-compatible.

If that is what they meant, that's not a good idea. Choice of h dictates precision (less bias than doing it purely in the real domain, but still .. a nontrivial choice). And also requires your functions to be analytical - which many ar

You can also double the boxed space by using subnormals (nee denormals) if you don't need them for precision (and if you do need them .... my condolences).

My point is that code density is code density regardless of underlying CPU, programming language, and libraries - up to a constant (bounded above by size of an emulator and said libraries). That’s actually very rigorously defined for those

But hardware back then was simple and uniform per platform. I developed professionally for the SNES some 30 years ago. You could set up sample playback with a handful of instructions, sprites with another handful, etc. It actually is compar

It actually is a fine comparison. At ~140 chars on a browser, JS can do this: https://www.dwitter.net/d/26107 . That's not idiomatic JavaScript, but then, people had to work hard for the old roms as well. (I recom

IE 3 and 4 compared to Netscape navigator in 1998 were also superior and (relatively) bug free. It didn’t make a dent. Then Microsoft bundled IE4, and killed Netscape (it took a while, but the unstoppable momentum was built with bundling&#x

At the very least, it always tells Truecaller who is calling you (your phone doesn't have a copy of the database - it is being looked up). And at least as of a few years ago, Truecaller would upload a copy of your phonebook to their se

Getting a rare disease means you have to become the expert of your own disease in other places as well. For the “average” rare disease, the vast majority of the people in the medical system have either (a) not heard of it at all (b) had one

LuaJIT has a pretty great FFi which was later ported to standard Lua; Python’s ctypes provides a decent FFI. Nim, Zig and Rust do too, but they have semantics much closer to C, so it’s almost free (especially when they can all use llvm dire

The modern QEMU is magic, but I find the original QEMU even more magical: It did not contain any assembly, and was easily portable to new architectures while still providing (relatively) decent performance -- the new TCG backend delivers

The new offline translations feature is also a great addition - it is not as good as Google Translate, but it is very good, and it is offline and completely local.

FYI, it also works on modern Chrome and Firefox (but not Safari last I checked). More CPU intensive and a few missing features compared to the native client - but does work, and even works well.

modern devices often keep the battery at 80% level if charged for a long time, for this reason. (they say "to extend battery life" in notifications, and that might also be a side effect, but AFAIK the primary reason is to reduce t

It used to work well on twitter (chronological order), but after either the update to 103, or the recent add on update, translation works well at first, but then breaks and stops working (whether in “auto translate” or not) Anyone else noti

Additionally, https://devdocs.io/ has comparable coverage, works offline as a website, and can be installed locally. And https://zealdocs.org on linux.

What you wrote is only true under additional conditions (e.g. mean reverting processes). In the i.i.d case, you are wrong, even if items are correlated.

In Israel, if you are assigned an employer car, you generally have to prove you don’t make personal use of it to avoid taxation - e.g. prove it isn’t in use almost every weekend (usually done by parking in a managed lot and showing the rece

Yes, it's scary. I wonder if running ghostscript's pdf2pdf inside a properly jailed/locked-down/container/firecrackervm, possibly an ephemeral one, is sufficient to neuter it.

Applying unrelated leverage between two parties is usually not looked at favorably by court. And court is likely where the musk/twitter thing will be settled.

They just reinstated Alex Berenson, apparently in a complete win for him (details are not yet public) Removing musk account, if they do thAt, might backfire spectacularly.

Disconnected remote work. Git pull to receive updates, Git push to send your updates. No idea how/if it handles merge conflicts. Also - you could have db “branches”.

Google "opencore". I haven't used it myself yet, mostly happy with my 9yr old Mac and in no hurry to upgrade - but apparently, even though officially Catalina is the latest, it can install Big Sur and even Monterey on my 9yr
