We didn't have that kind of discourse here in France AFAIK. Given that the vaccine is not 100% efficient, past a vaccination rate threshold, it is inevitable to see a majority of hospitalized people being vaccinated. When the vaccine w

The real figure, half a decade ago, was a loss of 50% over 70 years which is already very scary when you know that it constitutes 50 to 70% of the photosynthesis capacity of our world, and thus the ability to remove CO2 from the environment

Yup, this is the Streisand effect in full swing.

Animals studies (made IIRC by Pfizer or BioNTech, and using GFAP mRNA, not the spike protein) had shown that while most lipid nanoparticles stay at the injection sites, (quoting from memory) ~10-20% end up in the blood stream, then enter my

Which numbers have been cooked? I remember outright lies coming out of the WHO and governments regarding the usefulness of masks (out of a fear of running out of stock for health professionals), and regular exaggerations of the benefit of v

No idea about the credentials of that redditor... I'd love to have someone pick apart figure 1 and the data it claims to be based off: https://deliverypdf.ssrn.com/delivery.php?ID=342110087101018... The paper doesn&#x2

My comment is about ES6 proper tail calls. WASM is another story

Firefox can’t eliminate tail call across realms. The spec could make an exception for that scenario

The standard mandates it, and the V8 team implemented it, shipped it behind a flag, then unshipped based on reasons that initially seemed and ultimately were proven fuddy, when WebKit shipped PTC, and the world didn’t fall down. The reason

In the absence of more precise evidence, I’d recommend to aim for diversity, you’re more likely to pick up what you’re missing that way. You can also try diy lactofermented veggies.

It might have reached saturation. Violence is decreasing everywhere else too (dropping lead gasoline and screen time are the probable drivers). The US is still an outlier as far as gun deaths go.

by pygy_ 4y ago
The argument is that fewer guns in circulation decreases violence. That is to the point where cops are unarmed in Norway, most of the UK and Ireland, Iceland, New Zealand, Botswana and a dozen smaller countries.

How long does it take to generate these pics? No human is that good at producing art of this quality. There may still be a few anatomic mistakes, but many artists also make some. The picture quality, lightning, and the way it capture the gr

DALL-E is indeed superhuman in its ability to create images from simple prompts. This shows the limits of the Turing test. To pass it a program must not only be smart enough, it must be dumb enough too. Pulling what DALL-E does is a tell-ta

There's been recent innovation in the pixel field... Astortion brings skeletal animation and texture mapping to the world of pixel art, in a way that is very convincing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsOKwUwL1bE

I suppose they'd get their user license perpetually revoked and wouldn't be allowed to use VSCode legally. Good luck enforcing that. This is, if the EULA has legs. MS could have put that language to scare people off event though i

The behavior you're describing exists, but I don't think what you are describing is a minority behavior, generally exhibited by people who often suffer directly from the use of said terminology. I don't condone violence, but

The person you're replying to is very kind and considerate. They're not assuming people using the problematic terminology do so with the intention to harm. They are, however, mindful of its negative effects, hence the gentle remin

"Master", however, is as prevalent as "primary" in this discussion "slave" is the implied counterpart. It would be better if we completely abandoned that terminology.

Up to Snow Leopard, OS X updates felt like little Christmas mornings. It went downhill starting with Lion. I’ve stopped caring about new features, there’s too much churn anyway.
