Concentration of ApoB-carrying lipoproteins in the bloodstream as the driver of heart disease is one of the most strongly proven facts in medicine. Statins are proven to lower LDL (a close-enough substitute for ApoB in most situations) by a

3d rendering can use multiple GPUs right? Maybe pick up a couple MI50 32GB cards off Alibaba. A couple months ago they were $100 each but it looks like they're up to ~$160 now.

His reviews are very amateurish and slapdash. He has no test methodology and just throws together random datapoints that can't be compared to anything. In his Pro 6000 video he compares it with an M3 128GB with empty context. Then he r

Another reason along with the others is that the output quality of the top commercial models varies wildly with time. They start strong and then deteriorate. The providers keep changing the model and/or its configuration without changi

If you’re a hobbyist runner who finds it challenging to eat an extra 5000 calories in a weekend, you’re in the socio-physiological upper 0.1%. It’s great for you, but not a very relevant anecdote to the majority of people seeking help with

Extensions to me mean something that I explicitly choose to install (regardless of whether they automatically update). As far as I can tell, Zed goes about downloading code (“extensions”?) invisibly with no user input. See, for example, ht

I want to try Zed, but it’s not going to happen until they remove the nonconsensual download of unattested third party code.

Asahi will probably only ever be feasible for years-old hardware. macOS is a total non-starter for me, so maybe one day I’ll end up with one of these, but only as some kind of tertiary / retro machine.

Arduino was around long before RP2040, therefore RP2040 shouldn’t exist because the niche was already filled.

Exactly. Some companies only sell through Amazon now. In those cases, I often just go without and the company loses the sale.

No. 1) AliExpress sellers control their own store listing and have their own reviews. This is leagues ahead of Amazon. 2) I only buy products from AliExpress where safety and quality aren’t of any concern. 3) I have never actually had a &qu

If they made the memory upgradable it would defeat the purpose of the machine, since memory modules can’t hit the same speed as soldered memory. If you’re buying this you’re probably maxing out the memory to start with. 128GB is borderline

It’s only 12 grams lighter than my iPhone XS. And it’s 20 grams heavier than my Pixel 4a. For a product called “air”, It doesn’t even succeed at being light-weight.
