It is not. Much of the SE article is about testing a newer hypothesis that the amount of juice loss on slicing is entirely explained by the temp of the meat at the moment of slicing, and that the various other explanations for what resting

The article is mostly about how there are now recognized to be certain schizophrenia-like conditions that are clearly autoimmune diseases. Mentioned in the article are anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis, which responds to immunotherapy, and a

The preface is much more circuitous and difficult than the opening of Chapter 1. The opening of Chapter 1 is very vivid and descriptive, but pretty straightforward, even the archaic stuff in it you really should be able to guess at from con

The mortgage interest deduction is incredibly over rated. For most people the last few years of high standard deduction + salt cap mean few people really get much benefit from it. At lower tax brackets it's a pretty minor discount on y

This is true, but Spanish orthography isn't completely phonemic (and simpler for it). It is very shallow and very consistent but it doesn't spell out things like assimilation differences, people are just wrong to describe it as co

Jorge Luis Borges neither started from a socialist position nor ever experienced the effects of socialism, so I don't know what he's doing on this list.

Obviously then your risks are lower, but even then not zero. A dear friend of mine went through stage 4 HPV related cancer after a long "monogamous" marriage. It turned out that it wasn't actually monogamous on the part of he

Cherry picking bits and pieces of research and then escalating them to much more general claims then they actually make really is the essence of good quality quackery though. "avocados, for example, contain so much unsaturated fat that

This is not an accurate description of the magnitude of polling error in 2016 in WI, which was the state with the most significant polling error that year by a very large margin, see Table 2 "2016 final polling average versus actual re

I work in machine learning research: training loops and loss functions are incredibly repetitive and pattern filled, highly represented in the code the LLMs are trained on, and typically short. They are exactly my intuition of simple code t

It still seems like a meaningless distinction, Buddhism also rests on claims of real world events: the Buddha is a historical figure, the story of his enlightenment being a factual happening is key to the belief system. There are ways of in

There is little tax break for home ownership currently with the SALT cap + high standard deduction. You get some break if you have a large enough mortgage or high enough interest rate but it has been very nerfed.

In the case of metformin, the direct line is from guanidine in french lilac being used since the middle ages for diabetes. Guanidine is effective, but long term liver toxic. Once actual chemistry broke open our ability to analyze that drug,

So: Currently not remotely close to "extremely low" as in the comment I replied to. And it isn't following a nice series like you have, the peak was in April 2024. It's improving! It's not "extremely low",

Inflation is still extremely high and poverty levels are even higher now. IMHO the pre-Milei status quo was unsustainable and the directionality of changes he's making is positive, but they are still very much deep in the Pain part of

They are not extremely low, they are just lower than they have been. Annualized inflation is still ~160% down from a high of ~300%. Monthly inflation numbers are like what the US sees in a year.

That's exactly correct, this chip cannot do either of those things yet. Which is why they use this toy-ish random circuit sampling problem.

Because we don't currently know a problem like this that both has a quantum algorithm we can run on this type of device with expected exponential speedup and has a fast classical verification algorithm. That's exactly the author&#

It is specific to cases where a quantum algorithm exists that provides speedup, it is not at all generic. The complexity class of interest is BQP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BQP Also of note: P is in BQP, but it is

My comment is not whether the article's claim re this particular market inefficiency is empirically correct, only that it doesn't logically simplify to "if larger stores couldn't get preferential deals, prices for consum

by pitpatagain 2y ago
The article claim is not that bigger stores used their pricing power to get cheaper deals and passed that savings along to consumers who then preferred them and their lower prices. The claim is that the large grocery chains are able to use

Mammoth has never had a K-Mart. If you click through the links in the article you will see that they are about Bishop. The author of the article doesn't understand that these are different towns 40 minutes apart.

The part of this article about Mammoth is very off: - The vacant K-Mart being referred to is not in Mammoth at all, it is in the nearest larger town of Bishop, a 45 minute drive away. There has never been a K-Mart in Mammoth. - There is als
