I have been working 4 days a week for a couple of companies in the past, and I didn't like it. In the beginning the extra day off was great, but after a while I got used to the long weekends. What I didn't get used to though was t

Another interesting fact not mentioned in the article, is that men produce way more ADH than women: https://sites.duke.edu/apep/module-1-gender-matters/content/... . I wonder how that fits into the author&#x27

Nice analogy, except for one essential part: French and Dutch immigrants did not have a history of blocking foreign investigations and covering up unwelcome information. The Chinese have largely themselves to blame for the current suspicion

But aren't the Scandinavian countries always on top of the list of happiest countries in the world? E.g. this year the top 3 was Finland, Iceland, Denmark. So it seems that happiness is inversely correlated with warm temperatures ..

I'm surprised that the average number of hours worked per week was not one of the factors taken into consideration.

I thought the same at the time. Also the way they tried to murder Skripal, same like they did earlier with Alexander Litvinenko: by poisoning with Polonium. They could have chosen many other ways which would look less spectacular and wouldn

And now that it's ending there are, besides all the negative outcomes of course, some amazing benefits that have come out of the pandemic or at least were sped up: - the breakthrough of RNA based vaccins - a deeper understanding of how

Could you tell something or give a link about that Swedish fourth gender? You made me interested when you wrote about it but I can't find anything about it on the Internet. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender

The difference in working hours is not as big as you make it seem. In the 1950s it was normal to work on Saturdays. Nowadays, it Europe at least, the 40 hour working week is standard. Also most women used to work until they had kids, and so

It's true that labs were pushing boundaries, the Wuhan lab as well. But every time they succeeded in doing something novel, they were celebrating it in the media. If they really had been able to reach this major technological breakthr

It's too late to keep politics out of this, politics were at the heart of this from the very start. Without politics the consequences of the outbreak would probably have been much less severe. In the beginning of January 2020, presiden

You're a bit too trustful towards the flawless functioning of the scientific community. Scientists are humans and are prone the same group think errors like everyone else. Historical examples are plenty, e.g. Darwin was ridiculed by hi

Exactly. There was an outbreak in a deserted mine in South China in the early 2000's, 6 cleaning workers got seriously ill with symptoms similar to current Corona. See e.g. https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3

The stock trade settlement time has little to do with the financial system, but more with how stock trading is organised. There are quite a few steps before actual stocks can change hands. For instance the seller could have sold without act

Well yes, but it's not the only requirement. More important is that the market is competitive, i.e. that there is enough supply. And that is the dominating problem in most big cities, there are just not enough houses available. Given a

The fact that you have the self knowledge and modesty to admit that you're bad makes you already a better employee than 80% of your colleagues. Also your honesty to admit your own mistakes will allow you to grow and improve. You should

Thanks, as you say it must be running on the GPU then because even with 5 superscalar instructions per clocktick the M1 CPU wouldn't be anywhere near 900GFlops. And besides, isn't the thing that makes the M1 so fast the fact that

by misja111 6y ago
Could somebody explain how the M1 can reach 900 GFlops or more? My knowledge is probably outdated by the M1 cpu runs on 3.2Ghz with 8 cores and each instruction needs at least 1 clocktick, so I would say it could reach max 25.6 GFlops? Simi
