I was reading the article looking for mentions of some analysis that this might allow. Perhaps all that archaeology does with this material is to sift it for objects.

Python might have been better at this but the community was struggling with the 2 vs 3 rift for years. Maybe new tooling will change it, but my personal opinion is that python does not scale very well beyond a homework assignment. That is i

Oh gosh, even with the laws that should provide cover, the pushback you’ll encounter in academia from so many individuals with limited life experience who are trained only to rigidly follow blanket policies. But if you feel like you won’t s

Like Parmesan and Champagne, would you advocate that a beef patty is not a “hamburger” unless it was pressed in the “Hamburg” region of Germany?

Some of modern vegetarianism in the West has involved reinventing familiar entrees to make them vegetarian. A lot of those efforts really have been disappointing. I'd encourage new vegetarians to try embracing vegetarian staples from p

This move will expand the public's belief that regulation means "a ridiculous incursion of rights," leading to greater belief that society is better off without regulation.

If this appears to be nothing more than an interesting toy problem, I wouldn't underestimate the value of that. An athletics program helps to prepare people for jobs that need physical skills and teamwork. It's not that you need t

How are we valuing the network? There are doors that many wealthy people would not be able to open and vice-versa. On the other hand, someone both smart and wealthy... Sam Altman comes to mind, as well as a number of other figures of histor

When bone is what needs attention, you can use conventional x-rays in all but specialist cases. A single x-ray image is typically far less radiation than a whole CT scan. And yes, you can still see bone in an MRI. A related question is, how

I appreciate you looking into the numbers to verify. The 1/1000 odds seem better, though still important. Also, framed another way, 5% of cancer cases caused by CT scans would mean that 1 in 20 people in the cancer ward were placed the

A typical CT scan delivers enough radiation to give a healthy person a 1/500 chance of getting a cancer in their lifetime that they otherwise would not have gotten. The risk is higher for children. We have people working around low-fly

Not more detailed than an MRI. And the longer we push CT scans, the longer we delay the advancement of less invasive technologies.

MRI. If we had gotten our heads out of the sand on pushing CT scans as the answer, years ago we might have progressed further on other tech too. E.g., photons: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-06-scientists-entire-hu

I remember back when the “Pythonic” philosophy was to make the language accessible. It’s clear that Dr. Frankenstein has been at large and managed to get his hands on Python’s corpse.

Python is ergonomically challenged, so we shouldn’t be surprised when features built on that foundation go unused.
