I'm not a biologist, so I could be completely wrong here, but I disagree with you. First of all, plasmid != viral vector. That's why the Nature paper you cited had to use electroporation to introduce the payload. As J&J is a v

Probably not; detecting unnecessary clones is expensive for non-trivial cases. If a human can't prove that the clone isn't necessary (by writing the code in such a manner that the borrow checker accepts), I doubt the compiler coul

But neither have the ability to alter your DNA, so they are unlikely to be able to cause long-term symptoms though a gene-expression mechanism.

The issue is that it's not clear to consumers that the contract has a cancellation fee. See this screenshot, which alludes to a cancellation fee but doesn't explicitly say how large it is until you click into the fine print: http

I think this is a poor argument. I could make this "data" argument about any computer program, or even any copyrighted work. E.g. every statement is an n-tuple that could be stored in a database.

You don't even need a dish to catch the energy; just use a mirror that reflects the laser. You will lose energy to particles in the laser beam, and possibly also due to redshift.

On average, this is not true. Citing this example is like looking at a specific stock (TLSA) and saying that the entire stock market quadruples every year. Looking at the broader picture, most REITs give returns similar the S&P 500.

But the point you are missing is that if you focus on doing everything "correctly" at first, you're not gonna get anywhere (and may do the wrong thing). Imitating other people's gear isn't "correct," but s

Doesn't help for the "older question." That's just used as an intuitive example for how imprecision can arise from subtraction. Rearranging helps when you can only store intermediate results with finite precision, but yo

It seems like Musk has decided that if humans can drive visually, then cars can. Why did he choose this line? That is, if humans only need two eyes to drive, then why not just only use two cameras? Isn't using more than two cameras (an

That's what I mean by "alternative toolchain," though; some of the code that you are executing at runtime isn't being generated by the normal GCC/Clang toolchain. It's being generated by your custom setup which

by tylerhou 6y ago
If you use the normal toolchains for C vs another language, the other language still can be faster because it can dynamically generate bytecode based on runtime information. In the normal C toolchain, this is not possible. However, if you u

That's not how taxes work. Unless you would have donated to a charity anyway in a subsequent year, you never gain money on net from donating since your tax rate is marginal. Even if you have super low income and you are on the border f

I don't think anyone here is advocating for a system where you cannot prepare your tax return privately. The problem is that private tax preparation corporations have lobbied to make an IRS system illegal.

The borrow checker is actually fairly simple to implement, if you have the types. To deduce types, you need to parse the grammar, understand the control flow, and resolve any builtins. But you don’t need to emit any further representation.

I think a better term would just be “rise in asset prices/values,” or “asset appreciation.” You can add “in real terms” to clarify after inflation. It more accurately conveys the fact that 1) the assets are increasing in value, compare

Hence, "if we treat Bitcoin as a currency." But you're right that Bitcoin is mostly used as a speculative investment, and not to actually exchange goods. (That's not very convincing to crypto-people, though.)

Demand-pull inflation is not happening with Bitcoin. Again, inflation refers to the devaluation of currency. If the purchasing power of Bitcoin goes up, Bitcoin is deflating, not inflating. Maybe you are trying to say that the USD is infl

by tylerhou 6y ago
Value is a product of demand for both USD and BTC. So as I said above, your question was tautologically true: if the demand of Bitcoin will always be high, then yes it will be a store of value, because things that are in high demand have va

by tylerhou 6y ago
Your question is not very meaningful/vacuously true for two reasons. 1. The premise is false. Bitcoin does not have the same demand as the USD. 2. The whole point of my original comment is that value is a result of demand. So your qu

Citing "latent demand" or "induced demand" as counter-evidence to my original statement shows your (mis)understanding of basic economics. In fact, basic economics predicts "latent demand" for ordinary goods! &g

> Bitcoin is inflating as an asset. I don't think this is precise. Inflation of an asset means that the asset itself drops in value, relative to the value of other goods. For example: when prices rise, the USD itself would be inflat
