Plain paper ballots work very well in other countries. That would probably need more adjustments in organization though in the US. And we still get fast preliminary results at 6pm the same day.

For me, a big issue is that the performance of the AI tools varies enormously for different tasks. And it's not that predictable when it will fail, which does lead to quite a bit of wasted time. And while having more experience prompti

Even if we assume, for the sake of argument, that Ukraine "was flirting with NATO". Why does that justify an invasion? Why do you think Ukraine or NATO or the US are at fault here? Accepting that trying to get closer to NATO justi

And all the people at the last protest were bought and paid by Soros? It's ridiculous to think those protests are not real. There are a lot of people furious about the current administration.

I don't know. As the parent said, I'd be careful with guessing the root cause right now. They should not have been this low even if diverted due to weather.

My understanding is that they shouldn't have spent that much time in the air (not intended as a guess for the cause). The margin is there for situations where you can't land earlier, not the margin for scheduling the landing. Ther

"gone insane" implies that he was sane before. None of his political ideas are sane. It's just a lot of completely insane ideas, and the only notable thing about him is that for some unfathomable reason some people with money

Why are they building so many data centers then? That is all cost that has to be earned back. And using them as agents creates much higher costs per interactions than just chatting. We also don't know if the current prices are in any w

Because they probably would have to pay a lot more to make this profitable at the levels current valuations and investments indicate. And the barrier for private persons to pay is much larger than for companies. I don't think anyone ha

Because the antibiotic automatically selects the successful clones. The others that didn't incorporate the plasmid don't grow into colonies. Without antibiotics your plate will be entirely full of bacteria, you can't pick ind

As the article states, it is technically a gain of function experiment. But what is actually prohibited are dangerous gain of function experiments. This specific use of antibiotics resistance is also extremely common. Pretty much every sing

The article explains pretty well why this particular research isn't dangerous. It's technically gain of function, but if you prohibit any research that adds antibiotic resistance to bacteria you eliminated essentially all of micro

I think it is safe to assume they'll start with a lower level of ads and will increase that later. This always works out the same way.

I'm slightly confused about how solid the expected revenue has to be to be counted as RPO. Does this mean OpenAI actually signed a contract binding them to spend those 300 billions with Oracle? The second interesting part is also the p

These discoveries are old enough to be in the textbooks already. Not sure what would be good popular science books. There is quite a lot on the immune system in the Alberts (Molecular Biology of the Cell), but that is maybe too much without

Using the cloud would have been the easiest way to achieve the necessary redundancy, but by far not the only one. This is just a flawed concept from the start, with no real redundancy.

None of your examples use native C# pattern matching. And without language support like e.g. discriminated unions you can't have exhaustive pattern matching in C#. So you'll have to silence the warnings about the missing default c

If you're not coming from a strongly typed functional language, it's still a pattern you're not used to. Which might be a bit of a roundabout way to say that I agree about your last part, developers without contact to that ki

You introduced a pattern that is simply different than the usual in C#. It's also not clearly better, it's different. In languages designed for result types like this the ergonomics of such a type are usually better. All the libra

The only thing you really need to do with SSH is to use keys with it, not passwords. That should be secure enough for almost all cases. Another layer on top is useful to remove the noise from the logs. And if you have anything aside from SS

NFTs never had a real use case. Blockchains do have limited use, and cryptocurrencies are different enough that I don't think it's a valid comparison.

AI can be quite impressive if the conditions are right for it. But it still fails at so many common things for me that I'm not sure if it's actually saving me time overall. I just tried earlier today to get Copilot to make a simpl

The US policy is dragging many countries down, not just itself. The tarrifs and the huge uncertainty is really hitting companies that export to the US.

I want these decisions to be bases on scientific and medical data, not on gut feeling or unfounded personal belief. I have no issue with regulating specific dyes or additives in food, or groups of related chemicals. And your anecdote is not

by fabian2k 1y ago
How many artificial food dyes have been actually banned? I mean in the time where we actually had some regulations, the old days were quite wild in terms of safety in all areas, so I don't think that would be a useful comparison.

Years down the road, when US children are dying from easily preventable childhood diseases. Nothing RFK Jr. might do will outweigh the death and suffering he will cause by restricting and maligning vaccines today.

My understanding is that there are somewhat more restrictive regulations on food dyes in the EU compared to the US. But that overall there isn't a big concern about the majority of these dyes. There also isn't a fundamental differ

For a CMS I'd usually suspect the major bottlenecks to be in the DB queries. Especially when the language is already pretty fast by default like C#. You really need to measure before going to low level optimizations like this. Odds are

I think the big difference is that PostgreSQL doesn't cache query plans at all by default. Only if you use prepared statements. My understanding is that MSSQL does heavily cache them. It sounds plausible to me that caching would often
