The cancer rates are relatively comparable in urban vs rural zip coeds in the US[1]. [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38801414/

Sure DNA methylation can also just happen for any number of reasons.

If your read carefully, you'll note that I said largely. There is clearly a genetic component and non-lifestyle environmental factors. You don't need to go back to the 1970s even. In 1990 fewer than 5% of Americans had Type II dia

> Most cancer can be prevented This is a highly questionable statement. There are myriad reasons for the kinds of DNA copying errors that cause cancer(s), and few are mono-causal. Type-II diabetes is mainly a lifestyle disease and barely

I'm not belittling it, in fact I pointed to place where they work well. I just don't see how in this case it adds much over the other products I mentioned that in some cases offer similar layering with a different UX. It still doe

I really hate the use of this phrase, it lacks specificity and has a sort of unknown unknowns quality whereby we are meant to believe that some speaker utters vilification until some threshold is met and some unknowable person will be impel

I'm looking at their blog[1] and yeah it looks like they're doing literally the exact same thing the other tools I named are doing but with a UI inspired by things like shader pipeline tools in game engines. It isn't clear ho

I should print this out and frame it. This is basically my exact thinking on the issue. We really need to think about the tangible goods and services that make for a quality life for the bottom to middle quintiles and figure out how to prod

right, but how is it better than Lovart AI, Freepik, Recraft, or any of the others?

I've tried at least 4 other tools/SAASs and I'm just not seeing it. I've tried training models in other tools with input images, sketches, and long prompts built from other LLMs and the output is usually really bad if yo

You have to prompt with a bad summary.

Trying to generate consistent images after using LLMs for coding has been really eye opening.

It requires less because it’s a broad spectrum herbicide but the crops tolerate it. You don’t need much so not very much runs off. Needing to do multiple applications of multiple types of herbicide is definitely going to cause more runoff a

Yeah, it's really the perfect size if you're not trying to use it like a tiny ipad. I'm super frustrated that they won't make another 5.4" screen.

The idea of extending the program to pay people who aren't using the benefit directly sounds nice in theory but would cost way more and incentivizes people to not work. This necessarily makes the broader version of the program even mor

> I find it hard to believe that would total $12k per year. Again I didn't claim that. The tradeoff is generating some percentage of X benefit in economic activity vs some much lower percentage of X while X is also much larger.

You read a lot of books about economics, history, and political science and suddenly everything starts to look like it's complicated. The recent trend of commentators shouting "it's actually not complicated" is troubling

Only about 1-2% of Israelis live on a kibbutz, and unsurprisingly that number has recently fallen. You actually see the elevated birth rates even in Tel Aviv. There’s a broader cultural expectation that would be impossible to recreate elsew

More realistically here, there’s a limit to the funding any individual state can come up with to fund benefits. Tradeoffs have to be considered and increased workforce participation increases the tax receipts that fund these programs. It’s

Someone down thread posted that the private company has proposed several new reservoirs starting in 1992 and they've all been blocked on environmental grounds by the government or by NIMBYs. For example the Abingdon Reservoir has been

Surely you don’t think economics is the only difference here. You could even more easily explain it with a lack of property protection in China or the population density along the east coast.

There's not much magic in any of these. Scopes for example are just a convenience on top of a self method that can be chained to spit out SQL.
