I agree with what you're saying, but even without a bunch of riders there are bills that become laws and parts of those laws eventually get struck down by the court system through litigation/challenges. I don't know enough ab

As an aside: I particularly enjoyed the film Outbreak (Kevin spacey notwithstanding), it's a not totally unrelated plot to the linked theory. It's on Netflix!

The safe dose I believe is around 4g in 24hrs (2g/24hrs if you have known liver dysfunction). That’s like 8 extra strength Tylenol. Another commenter alluded to why it is the number 1 cause of acute liver failure in the US: that’s beca

Likely their data showed their particular formulation of mRNA and lipid nanoparticles was more stable or “stable enough” at a certain temperature. Otherwise both vaccines are relatively similar so it may really come down to the lipid nanopa

Maybe that’s the eventuality. I don’t run VMs much if at all for my work/day to day, but I have a desktop in the event I need to.

I figure I will eventually pass this laptop on to a family member by the time I will be in the market for a new laptop, so I am not necessarily worried about that. I suspect my 2017 mbp would have worked fine for a few more years but I want

I was worried about this too, but have been pleasantly surprised by this laptop. I'm sure my use case is far different to yours though. I was looking at my RAM consumption on my 16GB MacBook Pro prior to purchasing the M1 MacBook Air,

I would also point out though some interesting places where the 3900x clearly wins. Looking at Naive Bayes for example, it's a nearly 10 fold difference in speed. I wonder what specific x86 optimizations help there, likely SIMD?

Agree, but comparing a desktop class processor that was released 1.5yrs ago that at minimum was taking 100W or more to compute is still very eye-opening in seeing how far processor technology has come in such a short time.

Are there any good real-world applications that take heavy advantage of SIMD? I imagine it would be very prolific given the benefits offered but SIMD, but I honestly have no idea.

There’s plenty of incentive if you are at risk of getting ‘scooped’.. especially if your livelihood depends on a publish or perish model.

I think it depends on what field you're in within medicine. I think I would be willing to bet strokes would be high up on that list. There's a lot of neurologic conditions that strokes can mimic depending on severity. One that get

Ah, I see what you're saying on the survival curve, thanks for the point out! I agree that's an interesting statistic, and it'll be interesting to see further studies investigating flame retardants. I'd be very intereste

Yea, I didn't try to say anything about the efficacy of remdesivir vs dexamethasone because our hospital rarely does dexamethasone without remdesivir (though that may change soon based on the solidarity results). I've seen it a fe

What in the world? This title is extremely editorialized. I encourage readers to actually assess the evidence in the journal article: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/acs.est.9b02226/suppl... 1) It

As someone who sees covid patients regularly, my anecdata seems to suggest that the remdesivir 5day/dexamethasone 10day combo really does help get these patients out of the hospital. There's just so many things that can go wrong w

I think that's what he's saying, that if the latency is equivalent on best ddr3 and lowest ddr4 and ddr3 is cheaper or you already own it maybe better to wait.
