Institutionalized care for the weaker members of society actually makes productive members more productive. Likewise for social security and state-run unemployment insurances. AI is coming in the form of industry automatization, in a very c

People here seem to think that this is someone's weekend project, not the result of serious engineering from an institute of the Fraunhofer Society (which it is). The spec can be found at https://www.bsi.bund.de/EN&#x2F

I'm not rooting for a future where human labor is obsolete. Why would the machines continue to feed us if we're dead weight to the economy?

There are also multiple standards for black and white 2d bar codes. This is backed by the Fraunhofer Society and the German government, and on tracks to become an ISO standard. It will be implemented in scanners (hardware and software).

Not really. The academic field grew tremendously in the mean time, so the comparison is rubbish, but the index isn't. It is defined for an author as the largest number N such that as then have N articles with at least N citations.

The regular formalism is very neat and I like to use it, but the RegExp syntax doesn't do it justice. They are pretty much write-only, and there's no way to compose two regexps safely (new `RegExp(a.source, b.source)` breaks for `

You may want to check out my lib, compose-regexp, which serves a similar purpose with a smaller API and weight (< 1KB mingzipped). Named captures can be created with the following helper (with an example that parses strings): impor

Religion is one of the many topics Jesuits teach. To be ordained a Jesuit father one must hold two university diplomas: one in theology, and one in another discipline. I went to a Jesuit high school, and some of the teachers were priests. M

This is addressed in the article. The effect is uniquely found around former Jesuit missions, not Franciscan ones. > The Franciscans helped, too. The mendicant order had been in the area longer than the Jesuits. It wasn’t expelled. But

There’s a scale difference. CFC was a small part of the economy. As a first approximation, burning fossil fuel is the economy.

But it then it is diverted to other pathways. It could become meat, milk, or manure. I don't think there's a lot of aerobic activity going on in the rumen, so at least we know that it isn't immediately turned into CO2 (even i

AFAIK it is not about float perf. LuaJIT uses NaN-tagging to represent Lua values in memory to save space. Float64 numbers can be left alone, and other types are represented as NaN with the pointer bits stashed in the mantissa part of the f

Was the GOOL code interpreted or compiled? Edit: mostly interpreted, according to [0] which I found below. Edit2: wait, the article later says that the GOOL code was compiled into [MIPS] R3000 machine code... 0. https://all-thing

IIRC from the ZFS promo blurb, the energy required to flip 2^128 bits is enough to boil the oceans (assuming a maximally efficient process).

Indeed. Even if the patient died, and even if only a subset of patients are eligible, this is still a major breakthrough. Waking up after years in a vegetative state is extremely rare. People with ischemic or traumatic brain injury severe

Paralized doesn’t mean locked in. He might have been hemiplegic or hemiparetic, which can cause pulmonary aspirations. The patient’s family wanted their death to remain confidential, for whatever reason. The authors lied, but it wasn’t for

The implantation of a vagal nerve stimulator is not a dangerous procedure. It is less invasive than for a pacemaker for example. What most likely happened is that the patient recovered to the point where they were able to feed themselves, o

I'm surprised the article still considers schizophrenia as a single entity, when evidence points to there being several diseases with symptoms overlapping to some degree...

The the information found on the Web is of mixed quality, and most of it is garbage. That being said, outright scolding a patient who did some research without inquiring on what they read is not acceptable. Their expertise is not exhaustiv

Maybe that's not what they think, but many act as if if were the case. The golden hammer mentality is widespread, and your disease better has to be a nail.

Yes, ignoring if not mocking real patient expertise is yet another issue that's pretty prevalent. Patient knowledge may be accepted for diseases that are rare but well know, but for stuff in foreign territory you'll find that kind

I have a medical degree (but I do not practice medicine), and this is spot on. I wouldn't generalize it to the entire profession, but many doctors behave as you describe. Generalists tend to be more humble w.r.t. not knowing everything
