I wish there was a concept of paid expert reviews on Amazon/everywhere. A general review system works well (ignoring review gaming) when your concern is "Does this shirt fit?" or "What's the build quality?", but fails when one expert review of "This device is fundamentally unsound," gets drowned out by reviews on the more easily testable aspects ("The band is really comfortable!").

A great example would be when Benson Leung was testing USB-C cables on Amazon to see which were standards compliant.

This happened to me too (Safari on iOS).

Here’s a archived link:

Are these laws so inflexible they can’t differentiate between a traveler and a shipping container?

No, you still need subject-verb agreement. Either “there are no books,” or the less common “there is no book.”

You might see the latter in the case of a definite subject: “Pass me the book on the subject.” “There is no book on the subject.”

Didn't BO have a change in leadership in 2023 precisely because they were slow compared to SpaceX?

Edit: New Glenn was announced in 2016, compared to Starship's 2019, and they're approaching the finish line at around the same time. And I would say Starship was a far more ambitious project.

I'm not sure how leaving the rest of the booster would make a propulsive landing easier. It seems like more complexity than just leaving some fuel in the tank, for less benefit. But ULA's Vulcan (which incidentally uses the same BE-4 engine as New Glenn) plans on using a helicopter to catch it's engines as they parachute down [1]

"Americans dominate the space industry" is presumably what they meant, and not inaccurate. On the other hand, even the American space industry uses metric.

For those wondering what Donkey Konga is, videogamedunkey has an entertaining video on it and DK Jungle Beat which used the same controller:

That’s how I read it as well

Their point still stands, which is that a heat pump provides no advantage in the summer, so the article was wrong in indicating that it did. But yes, not all ACs can be run as a heat pump.

What library are the researchers getting their access through now? Are they saying the MIT library bought digital copies of all those publications?

I think it’s pretty obvious from our evolution that we need some UV but not too much. In Africa, where we got a lot of sun, we evolved darker skin to prevent damage, but in the more norther latitudes, our skin tones lightened to take advantage of the otherwise insufficient sunlight.

I feel like a good rule of thumb would be, if you’re tanning, your body thinks you’re getting too much sun exposure for your current skin color.

And what of these mouse studies?

A little off topic but does anyone know the purpose of dual licensing MIT and the UNLICENSE? It seems like the second should already allow anyone to do whatever they want…

But seeing all this evidence to the contrary has made your belief in the theory stronger?

I thought the second definition came about from continual misunderstanding of the word, like how literally no longer means literally.

Sounds cool in theory, but much less than useful in practice. The hardware and file formats are different enough that the data would be mostly useless to us (I work at a self driving-ish company).

The models are predicated a specific set of hardware ( which camera, what fidelity LiDAR, but even something as simple as “what’s the frame rate” can have a difference)

Is this just a standalone app for the existing password manager in settings, or is there more to it?

Is polar ice very sooty?

Not sure I follow your logic…

Will there be another solution for the desynchronization of SI days and solar days? It looks like there’s been about 25 seconds difference in the past 30 years or so.

So can the Mercator projection (or any projection really). Why is the author complaining about the California-Japan distance when they can just recenter near there?

Point being, recentering is not the answer.

My fear is that such a regulation would end up being a net negative for the consumer. Apple would protect MacBook sales in other ways, e.g. crippling iPad hardware. Genuine question: if it was a net negative, would that still be worth it in your eyes?

Doesn’t tree sitter make it pretty easy to add highlighting?

Other way around, 100 Mbps down and 20 up.

I mean, yes, there was a problem, but if more issues don’t develop, this still seems to be a huge breakthrough for quadriplegics. The guy still uses it extensively when he has free time. And that’s assuming they can’t resolve the issue before the next subject tries it.

If you use a French press for cold brew, be aware that the harder you press, the more bitter it will come out.

I use a $5 nut milk bag instead, it lets me brew way more at once; I do 1/4 kilo grounds with 2 liters of water. It also has the benefit of reducing cafestol, which makes it healthier, according to some.

Very powerful imagery, but I had to look up what it was: a recruitment video for US Army Psyops

In a few fields of rust we are starting to see a convergence of lower level libraries that then can be shared amongst the higher level crates. For example, wgpu is seeing broad use across a bunch of libraries from game engines to UI libraries. This then allows the shared libraries to be made more robust, with more shared resources going into them.

Does anyone know how much of this is happening in the matrix/array space in rust? There are several libraries that have overlapping goals: ndarray, nalgebra, etc. How much do they share in terms of underlying code? Do they share data structures, or is anything like that on the horizon?

Is it really non-deterministic, or is that just a misinterpretation of the opacity in deep learning algorithms? If the word choice isn’t a mistake, I wonder what the non-determinism adds.
