We use Java 17 features on all our projects now, expecting to update the platform to 21 in a year or so. Allowed features vary by project, some reviewers don't like vars (though I do) because it makes it harder to understand the code f

What isn't awesome is cross-border trains, it's always ad-hoc. I think there should be some grand unifying vision of complete cross-border (at least Schengen) connections. Possibly a new EU institution, whatever, because often it

I have a permanent non-allergic rhinitis, but even for allergic rhinitis you would be prescribed local steroids (momethasone mostly), or systemic antihistamines (desloratadine etc), or both, is this not common in the US?

GPT-1 was 5 years ago, GPT-2 was 4 years ago and by that time it was quite clear to some that this will scale soon. But I'm not talking about the GPT-4 either. Many decades and billions poured into research still didn't give us a

One important thing is that nobody has shown an actual existing AI to be not controllable, nor a way to create one. Until then it's an imaginary, non-existing risk. Of course as a fear and anxiety-based society we can also worry about

Because the AI controlled by humans is a tool, a technology, that can be used in various ways. Are you worried about knives in general or are you worried about a knife in the hands of a particular person in a particular moment?

What's the best way to get up to date info for specific cancers? A relative has one (bladder) but web search does not seem to suggest anything effective for his version apart from bladder removal.

That's skin color, not race.

That's mostly a risk for recreational users I'd say. Anecdotally, from people with psychedelic experience I know, only massive multidrug abusers experience this sort of issues.

In that case races do not exist as meaningful biological categories. There is no proof of their existence. The reason I mentioned cats and dogs is you can tell them apart by their DNA with 100% accuracy.

by tpm 3y ago
Why is it impossible? It's certainly possible to tell apart cat and dog DNA. If the race theory proponents argument hold water, the same must be possible for different races.

So you are saying you are able to clearly detect ethnicity of a DNA sample? Do you have anything to substantiate that?

Prove me wrong. Give me a way to detect race from DNA sample with 100% accuracy.

There are no clear genetic factors at all. They don't exist, because there are no clear biological delineations between 'races'. It's a purely social construct. You maybe could sort of define a group of people coming fro

by tpm 3y ago
Race is a social construct. It's used the way you describe in some societies, but not in others, and even if it is, the races have different definitions.

Completely argee - I use 35mm tires on my 'road' (repurposed gravel) bike since ages because I just like it that way and never felt the need to go narrower.
924.
by tpm 3y ago
You are right 28mm is currently a common road tire width, but that's the total external tire width. What I mentioned rising from about 17 to (not yet common, but getting there) 25mm is the inner rim with - the narrowest measure between

Modern bike wheels and tires are also moving in an interesting direction: carbon rims are increasingly made 'hookless' (straight flange without the 'hook' which locks the tire bead) because it's easier to manufactur

NATO bombing of serbian power stations was done in response of Serbian ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, after the horrible crimes against humanity perpetrated by serbian forces in Bosnia. "russians doing the same" is a blatant lie. Wha
