The graph is pre-filling the context that does the sync, right? Doesn't that create a bias towards what's already present? If anything hallucinated does make it in at some point, won't the sync just reinforce that hallucinati

Love the idea, I was thinking about this problem a few weeks ago, but never got anywhere with it. I'm intrigued by the latency savings in particular, that sounds great. One concern I have is that right now each session gets fresh &quot

I only know one person who has ever found phenylephrine effective. It's definitely not for me, but they've done single-blinded self-studies (with help) to see if it's a placebo effect, and it's pretty clearly not. DXM is

I'm not much of a physicist, but this rates a 9.5/10 on my personal BS mater. A single citation, two lines of analytical mathematics, a promise to resolve the Hubble tension without actually doing so quantitatively (or indeed, eve

Eh, there were plenty of games that were coded for a particular clock speed, and then once the SE came out, had an update that included a software version of a turbo button, let you select which of two speeds to run at. They run FAST on an

Yep, that’s definitely the question. The article says that there are caches of recently used graphs for use in large loops. Presumably those are pretty fast to swap, but I have to imagine programming a whole new graph in isn’t fast. But may

For sure. Pretty similar problem space, very different implementation and target market. Apportable wasn’t a transpiler (and boy were we proud of that); it was a reimplementation of the iOS frameworks on top of a replacement NDK (Android’s

While the large sample size and many controlled variables are good, and make the results statistically significant, the effect sizes are awfully small. Only two of the emulsifiers, tripotassium phosphate and guar gum, increased the hazard o

No. None of the ones with an increased Hazard Ratio are or contain them. The researchers also did not control for PUFA consumption, only SFA consumption.

This again? Last time this came up, it was calculated that in order to get to the levels (mg/kg body weight) found to affect fertility in study rats and pigs, you’d have to eat something like between 2/3 and 2x your body weight&#x

The notch is what it is: a compromise between webcam quality, branding, and thin bezels. But it’s hard to argue but that Apple’s software integration with it is mediocre at best. None of the extra space is usable except by anything but the

EV: Nova was the first shareware game I ever paid for. Also how I learned to use ResEdit. The Ship Variants mod was the best! There was nothing quite so overpowered as a Type IV Modified Valkyrie, a ship that was basically impossible to cap

More, even, since ridings don’t all have to have the same population, unlike Congressional districts.

They don’t mention falling life expectancies. If people are dying before they use as much care as expected, small wonder costs would rise less.

Are you burnt out? I watched that happen. They also have ADHD, but once they burned out, even interesting worthwhile things couldn’t hold their focus for more than a few minutes, and they were constantly procrastinating several levels deep.

SETI@Home was fun, but it was kind of a trash screen saver because of how many fixed elements it had. Definitely ended up burning in a monitor with the yellow afterimage of its purple section divider bars.

Not sure where you’re getting pricing data, but it’s clearly out of date. A Ryzen 5 3600 is $97 on Newegg ($92 after rebate), not $350. Tools like this absolutely must have up-to-date pricing to be useful.

I think something like the bullet cluster, where you have gravitational lensing consistent with a collision-less fluid, leading a baryonic colliding gas (which we know is present from X-ray emissions), was a prediction of CDM. So it hasn’t

Huh. The second paper listed different vacuum pressures than the first. 10^-3 torr instead of 10^—5.

My first thought was “I really hope this is real and not someone having left the data collection software in simulation mode.” If this reproduces, it’s historic. If it doesn’t, it’s either cold fusion or faster-than-light neutrinos.

I seem to remember the end of the telephone sanitizers story was that you shouldn't get rid of them no matter how annoying, lest a plague spread via telephone handsets.

Looks like there will be a UI to control this 116, and the block list is empty in 115. I’m pretty stoked for this. Every time I install an extension I wonder what’s going to happen to my banking info if an update ever gets hijacked. This is

The pulse is probably doable but difficult, at least on an iPhone. The noise in the accelerometer data from just holding it is pretty substantial.

How long until Reddit changes their (self-imposed) rules around advertising in NSFW subs? I’ll guess about July 2.

I think Reddit gave away the game plan when they decided to remove API access to NSFW subreddits. Between that and making the mobile app required to view them (blocking mobile web), they’ve basically created a porn app, not just a glorified

That doesn't bode super well for Blue Origin's lander then, since its engines are on the bottom.
