I'm not discussing that it would be doable if it worked, and that some startups will be up for it. I'm saying that DNA is not a predictor of being a "good employee", and if you believe otherwise I'd be interrested t

Either you or me are deeply wrong about how genotypes relate to phenotype. While some DNA characteristics can be statistically linked with some costly health conditions, the connection to "being a good hire" seems totally imaginar

Friendly reminder that "seem to have a temperament", aka "this funny thing looks like something complex is going on under the surface", is the only basis we have to ascribe agency and sapience to any human being, startin

I couldn't find on this page how to quantify the breakdown between water lost on site to evaporation or to rejection from pure to grey water, and water lost elsewhere for electricity production, or earlier for semiconductor manufacturi

Cooling towers can take water from a stream for instance, and return it mostly to that stream (just a few °C hotter). The quantity of water that is lost to the atmosphere is quite small. According to https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

I agree that it this comparison is overblown, and do not believe in general that this kind of overstatements do any good to the cause of those who make them. There is something in common though: that very dangerous belief that lying and ign

I don't run as much, and never more than 1h, yet it happened several times to me that my phone battery died on me while running. (I'm obviously not carrying a powerbank with me, and my phone is many years old). It would also expec

I don't know what impress me the most: that you run every single day for 10 years, or that you manage to have a data point for each of those. Not a single day did you forget your phone/watch/wtv? Not a single data loss? Not a

Counter point based on my own experience: in Europe the median runner is actually quite slimer than the median non-runner. And I'm surprised to learn it's different anywhere else.

This title is wrong about the when and misleading about the what. A masterpiece.

"Flix also features full tail call elimination which has some run-time performance cost." What are the run time costs being refered to here?

I feel exactly the same, but I believe this is not universal. I see a similarity with the repulsion I feel when someone is being nice to me because of a job (or more generally, when someone address me "as a customer"). Not every

And then check that the cited article was not itself an AI piece that managed to get published.

After reading your comment, I was expecting some kind of RLE over a bit set. But no, not even that? So I guess, it is notable because it shows how far coding has been industrialized; ie has been dumbed down so much that a mere bit field can

Actually, this expression "end of history" has been coined, and the ideology(*) behind it promoted, in the 1990s after the collapse of the eastern block. Before that, for what I can tell, the prevaling idea seems to have been that

What is this "end of history illusion", if not the belief that there is a "decent end state"? There will always be reasons to oppose any current equilibrium for improvements, and that's ok.

PI is not that much unpowered by the dollar, is it? I think Google demonstrated 20 years ago that server-grade hardware is no match for fault tolerance in software. Plenty of build farms use PIs, running standard flawless arm64 Linux distro

My understanding of high child mortality rates in the past is that it has little to do with genetics, and more to do with infectious diseases and poor hygiene.

Not all Nobel prizes are equivalent to Newton, Boltzmann or Einstein. Have a look at the video if you wonder why I focus on those three. I am well aware that he did not publish his lecture notes himself, yet I believe he had written some

She seems to have missed the real reason why Feynman became so "popular": his series of textbooks. Maybe his name is not associated with such historical discoveries as those of Newton, Boltzmann or Einstein are, but writing one of

Interesting link. Another quote from that same link, from that same hateful person whose first grievance was that Feynman was just interested in calculations and playing the drum : "I do not know—but I believe that Richard Feynman

Just don't comment? Isn't that legitimate to question a trend you disagree with? Especially on a web _forum_?
