It is not. Much of the SE article is about testing a newer hypothesis that the amount of juice loss on slicing is entirely explained by the temp of the meat at the moment of slicing, and that the various other explanations for what resting does are irrelevant.

The meathead article argues: - Resting doesn't change perceived juiciness the way you think it does. - Meat that you will slice on your plate continues cooking on plate. - Therefore recommends just cook to temp and dive in and don't do any traditional rest.

The Serious Eats article: - Tests the temp at slicing theory. - Says this means that appropriate resting time only has to do with aligning the carryover cook time with the temp you brought it to while cooking with the temp it will be at slicing - Suggests that the real benefit of resting is that it is easier to time and stick the landing with desired temp because of the gradual glide at the end - Therefore recommends: Using a rest, but shorter than traditional, just long enough as appropriate for temp control.

The article is mostly about how there are now recognized to be certain schizophrenia-like conditions that are clearly autoimmune diseases. Mentioned in the article are anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis, which responds to immunotherapy, and a previously published case of a woman mid-diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia fully recovering after being treated for lupus with immunosuppressive therapy.

Based on this, the article suggests that the rituximab Mary was given along with chemo was the key. However, they were unable to test conclusively for antibody evidence of this theory after the fact.

SignWriting is closer in purpose to the International Phonetic Alphabet for spoken languages. It attempts to allow detailed recording of the actual signing as it is signed for any sign language.

It has a lot of the disdvantages of IPA as a practical writing system as well.

Sign languages are not the same as spoken languages used in the same countries, as is very apparent if you look at transliterations of ASL using latin glyphs, there are some standardized ways to do this but they drop a lot of information and don't have the same sentence/word structure.

There is also a long history of attempts to create notation that can record this type of language, the first for ASL being Stokoe notation, which represents hand shapes for example, but can't represent for example facial elements, and is specific to ASL, can't represent things in other sign languages.

Just for full accuracy: $9b is the total in the claw back bill. About $1.1b of that is CPB (PBS+NPR).

The preface is much more circuitous and difficult than the opening of Chapter 1. The opening of Chapter 1 is very vivid and descriptive, but pretty straightforward, even the archaic stuff in it you really should be able to guess at from context.

Is it the easiest thing to read? No.

Should university English majors be able to read it? Good grief, yes, this is such a wildly low bar.

The mortgage interest deduction is incredibly over rated. For most people the last few years of high standard deduction + salt cap mean few people really get much benefit from it. At lower tax brackets it's a pretty minor discount on your interest to begin with.

The much bigger tax thing this article doesn't consider is the $250k/$500k single/married capital gains exemption on sale of primary residence.

This is true, but Spanish orthography isn't completely phonemic (and simpler for it). It is very shallow and very consistent but it doesn't spell out things like assimilation differences, people are just wrong to describe it as completely phonemic.

Jorge Luis Borges neither started from a socialist position nor ever experienced the effects of socialism, so I don't know what he's doing on this list.

Obviously then your risks are lower, but even then not zero. A dear friend of mine went through stage 4 HPV related cancer after a long "monogamous" marriage. It turned out that it wasn't actually monogamous on the part of her (now ex) husband.

It's excessive to say literally everyone should get the vaccine: if you are especially low risk and don't want to bother, sure. But it's a very easy, safe vaccine. Most people engaging in some average amount of life-time serial monogamy (or with a partner who engaged in serial monogamy) would be better off just getting the vaccine than spending any mental energy on trying to figure out exactly the degree to which they need it.

Cherry picking bits and pieces of research and then escalating them to much more general claims then they actually make really is the essence of good quality quackery though.

"avocados, for example, contain so much unsaturated fat that they can be carcinogenic and hepatotoxic" is exactly what he says in the article text. That explicitly read as "consumption of avocados can cause cancer", not the much weaker claim "it's possible that there's a mechanism by which avocados might cause cancer or be hepatotoxic but we don't actually know", which is what you actually get if you look at those reference.

Even the quotes he chooses are mismatched to what he says in the text. The liver one is about dietary avocado oils specifically, not avocados generally, and has the weakest possible conclusion that the chicks have something "suggestive of early stages of fibrosis" for unrefined but not refined. It's beyond just in vivo and animal model limitations, it: doesn't address dietary avocado consumption and doesn't conclusively show liver toxicity. That this reference is so weak, and yet the one he chose, is itself quite damning.

This is not an accurate description of the magnitude of polling error in 2016 in WI, which was the state with the most significant polling error that year by a very large margin, see Table 2 "2016 final polling average versus actual results": https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/polling-error-in-2...

The final difference from polling in WI was 7%, other states had smaller polling errors. The fact is that 2016 was simply an extremely tight race in many states and difficult to forecast even with completely normal polling error bars.

I work in machine learning research: training loops and loss functions are incredibly repetitive and pattern filled, highly represented in the code the LLMs are trained on, and typically short. They are exactly my intuition of simple code that LLMs would work well on.

It still seems like a meaningless distinction, Buddhism also rests on claims of real world events: the Buddha is a historical figure, the story of his enlightenment being a factual happening is key to the belief system.

There are ways of interpreting and practicing Buddhism in which this is less important (eg modernist, psychological, western), but that's also true of Christianity (eg the Jefferson Bible, Unitarians, etc).

There is little tax break for home ownership currently with the SALT cap + high standard deduction. You get some break if you have a large enough mortgage or high enough interest rate but it has been very nerfed.

In the case of metformin, the direct line is from guanidine in french lilac being used since the middle ages for diabetes. Guanidine is effective, but long term liver toxic.

Once actual chemistry broke open our ability to analyze that drug, related chemicals could be synthesized and studied, which led to biguanidines, of which metformin is one, which were tested in animals.

Many drugs are found this way by looking at chemicals related to ones we already know about, and then testing on animals and humans. Self testing of new drugs by researchers used to be very common.

How did folk medicine come to know the effects of guanidine? Dunno.

So: Currently not remotely close to "extremely low" as in the comment I replied to.

And it isn't following a nice series like you have, the peak was in April 2024. It's improving! It's not "extremely low", or resolved yet. As I said in another comment, I personally think the directionality of Milei's changes is great. But it is currently still very tough times.

Inflation is still extremely high and poverty levels are even higher now. IMHO the pre-Milei status quo was unsustainable and the directionality of changes he's making is positive, but they are still very much deep in the Pain part of trying to break out of where they were at.

Many people really are much worse off right now. It has to be taken on faith that this is a short term suffering that will pay off later.

Cows have gotten a lot bigger. That specific legend about Milo may be embellished, but his existence as an exceptional athlete is attested by multiple authors.

The point is really: Classical Greek athletes were doing a lot of recognizable strength training. "Halteres" are basically stone dumbbells (in Spanish the derived word "halterofilia" is the modern name for Olympic weightlifting).

You have other examples like Bybon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bybon) where we have an inscribed rock with a handle carved into it explicitly to use as a weightlifting feat.

This was definitely part of the culture and people knew what trained athletes looked like.

They are not extremely low, they are just lower than they have been. Annualized inflation is still ~160% down from a high of ~300%. Monthly inflation numbers are like what the US sees in a year.

Milo of Croton is often cited as the earliest recorded examples of a progressive resistance training program: "He would train in the off years by carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until the Olympics took place. By the time the events were to take place, he was carrying a four-year-old cow on his back. He carried the full-grown cow the length of the stadium, then proceeded to kill, roast, and eat it."

That's exactly correct, this chip cannot do either of those things yet. Which is why they use this toy-ish random circuit sampling problem.

Because we don't currently know a problem like this that both has a quantum algorithm we can run on this type of device with expected exponential speedup and has a fast classical verification algorithm. That's exactly the author's point/he has been advocating for quite a while the importance of researching such an example that would be better to use.

It is specific to cases where a quantum algorithm exists that provides speedup, it is not at all generic. The complexity class of interest is BQP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BQP

Also of note: P is in BQP, but it is not proven that BQP != P. Some problems like factoring have a known polynomial time algorithm, and the best known classical algorithm is exponential, which is where you see these massive speedups. But we don't know that there isn't an unknown polynomial time classical factoring algorithm and we just haven't discovered it yet. It is a (widely believed) conjecture, that there are hard problems solved in BQP that are outside P.

My comment is not whether the article's claim re this particular market inefficiency is empirically correct, only that it doesn't logically simplify to "if larger stores couldn't get preferential deals, prices for consumers would be significantly higher." That depends on a lot of things.

Grocery suppliers are, eg, agricultural producers who need to offload whole crops of perishable goods. The industry is full of well known market failures, examples of monopsony buying power, etc, so an argument from an idealized market I don't find very persuasive.

The article claim is not that bigger stores used their pricing power to get cheaper deals and passed that savings along to consumers who then preferred them and their lower prices.

The claim is that the large grocery chains are able to use their pricing power to demand prices that squeeze suppliers, keeping the difference for the grocer, not for the consumer. Their ability to do this has increased the more consolidated the grocery store chains have been allowed to become, giving them much more power versus their suppliers.

It's a public AIME problem from 2019.

It is painfully slow. If you have to ride Muni on at grade sections it is a complete joke. I lived for more than 10 years with my front door opening to the T and a job at Embarcadero. Straight shot on the T (this was prior to central subway opening, an event I was waiting for the entire time I lived there). It was so bananas slow and unreliable that I exclusively biked, even when raining, since it was so much faster and I actually could rely on even getting there. I gave up on it entirely pretty quickly. I felt terrible for anyone who couldn't bike who actually had to rely on that garbage system.

God forbid you have to switch lines on your surface street burdened route, good luck.

The last time I risked it and tried to T home from an event (very against my better judgement), some sort of "security incident" happened, causing them to stop and unload the entire train and keep it stopped it there blocking the tracks entirely in that direction for investigation. I walked 30 minutes home. Very fitting final ride capping my decade+ of disappointment with that pathetic excuse for a train.

Muni access was one of the selling points to move where I did, I still get depressed/pissed thinking about how terrible it actually was! There is a tiny corridor served by underground Muni which is functional, but it's such a small fraction of the whole system.

Mammoth has never had a K-Mart. If you click through the links in the article you will see that they are about Bishop. The author of the article doesn't understand that these are different towns 40 minutes apart.

The part of this article about Mammoth is very off:

- The vacant K-Mart being referred to is not in Mammoth at all, it is in the nearest larger town of Bishop, a 45 minute drive away. There has never been a K-Mart in Mammoth.

- There is also a Grocery Outlet in Mammoth just down the street from Von's, so there's already more than one grocery store? It's a different store format but it's still a very legit full grocery. There is also a Grocery Outlet in Bishop.

It's an important topic but the Mammoth part is not sourced well.
