I don't think that translates to humans. Sleep disturbances like the micro-arousals triggered by sleep apnea absolutely ruin lives, way before lack od oxygen becomes a problem. Arousals destroy sleep architecture. Humans cannot thrive

Your statement is factually incorrect, there are quite a few EU tech giants. But more to the point: in what universe is having a tech giant a requirement for anything? If anything, big pseudo-monopolies seem like an antipattern.

I grew up in a small village in the arse end of nowhere, in the 80s/90s. Even there and then it was a rarity for people to engage with their neighbours, beyond saying hello. Being the precocious child that I was, I invited myself to th

Is the blood level diagnostically significant with vit D? Or is this something like magnesium where serum levels can be normal while having a magnesium shortage? IIRC vit d is fat soluble, does the body store any excess quickly, or does it

I see people in Vibrams and Vivos at the gym all the time. I wear nothing but minimalist shoes (since long before the hype, I was the barefoot kid where I grew up in the 80s/90s), so maybe I just notice it more? Quite frequently people

Not my president and not my country. I find it hard to imagine that Trump is as stupid as his public image would suggest.

It won't. Because the LLM execution is fundamentally nondeterminstic. The patient will describe something that is irrelevant to the diagnosis (because the patient does not know what is relevant), the LLM will latch on to that, and your

I am often baffled by how some people are able to articulate how a specific pain feels or even where exactly the pain is. Describing pain intensity is hard beyond "not very painful" and "very painful". But adding a dimen

I find that hard to believe. There have been incompetent US presidents before. This isn't incompetence, this is strategy. Malicious strategy perhaps, but it seems very unlikely to be non-deliberate.

Trade is the best way to maintain peace. I don't like situation one bit. International relations are souring. It's hard to imagine that this is unintentional.

What do you mean "what's the point"? Before Apple got to the point of being subject to this particular attempt at regulation, it amassed billions in revenue and reached a 3+trillion dollar valuation. Very few startups (innova

I'm not sure what this word salad is trying to say. I've read it several times now, and I still don't get it. Your reference to "proper societies" and "broken skulls" is a bit worrysome.

What do you mean when you say that Reddit is too mainstream for you? I mostly read RSS feeds and hang out on Mastodon. I don't really chat anywhere anymore, not since I left the last IRC channel years ago. I occasionally miss it, but h

Unfortunately, the way my governments have dealt with the issue is by writing one very large tender, from which a Hosting Framework Agreement is derived. Individual projects have no say in it, and they're certainly not consulted when t

I think the confusion might arise from the definition of "long". People who are stable can spend many hours waiting in an ER. This is a long time. Patients with urgent but not life threatening issues will be seen quickly and disch

IMO it's totally fine for buses to keep using ICE for many years to come. There are orders of magnitude fewer buses than cars, they are already pretty fuel efficient, and everything that makes public transport more expensive is very ba

ERs are designed to quickly triage patients. To prioritise the real urgencies from those that can wait a bit, to those that aren't urgent at all. Within great financial constraints. What this team seems to be doing is essentially refin

Car alarms are similar. Maybe (but doubtfully) they'll prevent your car from being stolen/trashed/emptied. But at the cost of waking up an entire neighbourhood every time a bird shits on it a little too forcefully (or whateve

Just to be clear: I wasn't referring to children in my rant. Children can be loud (and obnoxious), but that's usually fine. Having an adult around who can channel their energy away from the neighbours is all that's needed the

Depending on where in the world you are, paying yourself a high wage results in much higher taxes than paying profits in the form of dividends. These taxes may benefit society at large, which may well be in line with their goals.

Some more anecdata: magnesium greatly reduces annoying muscle twitches for me. I get them quite frequently when I don't take magnesium for a while. Magnesium citrate is easily available here, without added vitamin b6. No side effects f

From what I've seen, scooters and electric bikes aren't competition for cars, but for public transport.
