And moving parts make a system less durable. And cooling itself requires energy.

Sometimes when people say the word 'claimed' they are not expressing skepticism but are instead being precise. In an E-Prime sense, for instance.

Given that they claimed the Macbook Air is fanless, I was wondering if this one would be. Since it isn't, that seems disappointing. Not that I was going to buy one.

The studies I saw, many of which were posted here, recorded dramatic impact on disease severity from Vitamin D alone. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096007602...

If they want to throw their reputations in the trash pushing get rich quick schemes, they probably would already be doing that instead of all this hard work.

Lots of very interesting information security tech. Fully homomorphic encryption would be revolutionary, but the performance isn't acceptable at the moment. As soon as it became acceptable it would be adopted swiftly in many domains. U

60,000 IU is a ton, but very interesting. A clinical study on very high dose Vitamin C in China needed to be halted because the virus was under control there and they were unable to recruit any infected study participants. Would be very int

Even that kind of minimal effort is probably not worth it and provides a false sense of an active project capable of patching security vulnerabilities and so on.

"Why Albert Einstein's theories prove the Earth is flat." Hmmm... this seems fishy. I'm not going to read any further. Peanut gallery: That seems a bit presumptuous. Confirmation bias much?

If the headline misrepresents the study, then that is the fault of this publication, and nobody should share the article or read it. If the headline is an accurate representation of the study, then the study is garbage without having to kno

When a headline indicates a flagrantly ignorant viewpoint, why would anyone be obligated to read further?

This is such a vague headline that it contains no useful information, given that clearly individual vitamins have benefits, and multivitamins can be a mix of any number of any quantity of vitamins. That many people have no idea what they ar

Congratulations to the team. Microsoft has made exceptional strides in terms of performance and compatibility. The whole vision is what is really impressive, not any individual part. It is cross-platform, open source, and has almost complet

It supports linux natively. Anything windows-specific requires libraries that you can optionally add.

Many who were even pro-bitcoin like Peter Thiel gave up on the idea that it is a good platform for transactions, and instead argue that it is like "digital gold." A wildly volatile digital gold, of course, given that it has no oth

Have the exact opposite experience. The inconsistency of the web platform is a nightmare compared to my pain-free experience with XAML. XAML and C# allows a single developer to get a functional modern application going quickly. I had zero p

That would only make sense to do if they believed in their own business model.

The attempts I've seen from the community seem intentionally hobbled. Gemini intentionally doesn't even support inline images.

What features do you think Gitlab lacks compared to GitHub? I haven't used the CI/CD features of either, but PR/MR features seem comparable. Is it the advanced workflow stuff and CI/CD integration where GitHub is better?

I will say that some of the best gaming communities have an active modding scene, and ideally that scene is intentionally fostered by the gaming company. Elder Scrolls is the obvious example. It was made far better by the community, and tha

0 A.D. was a commercial project that was open-sourced, not a community project.

To the extent that corporations are capable of producing "Free Software" as defined by Stallman then I would find it likely that they would succeed, but the comment I replied to argued that commercial software was inferior and tha

I think for something such as a unix-style CLI tool that does one thing, and one thing only, non-commercial community-driven development works great. For anything else, not so much. It is not possible to imagine a video game produced by an

I think, as mentioned here in the comments, his IFR estimate could be off by a factor of 2 or 3, but given that when he made his Santa Clara study, people were still worried about vastly higher fatality rates, he was still likely closer in
