It appears to be a mistake -- the Reuters article says "In only two days, more than 700,000 new users joined Xiaohongshu", which makes more sense. The guess is that it was a confusion about "700M" somewhere.

There's also no reason they couldn't pattern that area with some other suitable commodity chips. Like how sawmills and butchers put all cuts to use.

The article mentions the causation problem but doesn't follow it up. I can't find where or if they have a control case, e.g., measure some other external common substance, like wood or rock dust, in the body and see if it also cor

I'm also curious. I'd bet that they use a smaller version of a pancake generator like [0]. And power it through a gear train from four mainsprings as it says in TFA. [0] https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a

System Settings > Trackpad > "Tap to click" fixes that. Try out the other options there too: two-finger tap for right-click, two-finger drag for scroll, and three-finger drag window by title bar.

It's clearly a vector display, and my guess is that the beam is being turned off a little too early at the end of each character's final stroke, leaving it lopsided. The bar over a letter must mean that it's true upper-case.

Red bar? Maybe you're thinking of another device or app? The way I understand it, an iOS device does always listen for "Siri", but that's done in isolated hardware that an app has no access to. The orange "microphon

Yeah, I just replaced my thermostat and after looking at all of those fancy models and thinking about how I don't follow a schedule myself. So I bought another analog one. The entire UI to learn: when cold move the lever right, when ho

My reason for using a no-keypad keyboard on the desktop is entirely functional: reaching for the mouse (a very common motion) is faster. And as a bonus, I can type numbers faster on the top row than I could on a keypad since I'm using

The arguments could be over if people were to carefully define the words they're using, and any controversial words in those definitions. It would show either that they're talking about two different things, or as is more often th

Safari + AdGuard works fine. Just seems odd that people pretend there aren't other options.

I wouldn't say "just", as I expect that those are important parts of what makes for better reasoning. But beyond that they're keeping secret.

Rights are rather useless unless granted by a law-enforcing power. I mean, I could grant another human (or a rock) the right to rule the world, but no one else would care. As for the contract, I don't see how you get from legal fiction

It's based on fear of change -- that something bad might be in newer foods. Taking this advice to heart would mean limiting what we eat to just a few well-known, well-tested foods. And yet the common best-practice nutritional advice is

My problem with picking ultra-processed as a food category is that it has very little to do with the nutritional value. And where we decide the starting line is for that processing is also arbitrary, as far as the result goes. I mean we cou

The article doesn't say how the spray affects the sense of smell, which I'd guess it diminishes or blocks. We evolved that sense for good survival reasons.

You're asking for historical examples of great inventions that were hidden from history. I only know of those great inventions that I've hidden... There are a number of counterexamples though. Henry Ford, etc.

I'll bite. This paper doesn't show anything beyond an anesthetic's possible effect on microtubules, assuming it's reproducible. I see nothing about ruling out other pathways that may also affect consciousness. That big l

Interesting. I found that GPT-4 gets this wrong quite consistently, and o1-preview gets it right. It takes a moment to think it through and so isn't tripped up by relying on heuristics.

The tradeoff is that you would lose impact resistance. Consider the moment of impact when a phone hits a hard floor: the relatively heavy battery has its force distributed over the large area of the adhesive and absorbed by it, vs very high

The vast majority of telescopes are ground-based even though space is optimal for seeing, because the economics favor the ground by a wide margin. Same with solar: if you get 3 times the light in space per cell but it costs 100+ times as mu
