I'd agree, but alcohol isn't necessarily highly addictive. The addiction depends on the dose quantity and frequency. I'm talking, a beer or wine, not necessarily liquor. I mean, let's look at the real word: for every alc

One could argue that small exposure to these metals is what caused us our body to develop defenses against them. If you remove the "small" exposure, you remove the cure, so to speak. Similar to how small quantities of cyanide crea

Fair, but it depends on how far you want to go down the memory lane. It's not unheard of that Greeks would live until they're 60 or 70yo. That's about 2500 years ago. Not as much as 100s of thousands of years ago, but the sel

No, no. You got this backwards. You and others arguing your point have to find solid evidence that small alcohol quantities have that “risk” or “harm”. In absence of evidence, it’s a better default to think that it’s not harmful as explai

Maybe — I haven't looked at the evidence. But, alcohol is something that has been present in our ancestral environment (e.g. fermented fruits). If anyone's telling me, our bodies didn't learn to at least tolerate small amount

Agreed - it's all in the dose and the response. Not even mentioning the selection pressure for us to adapt to at least small amounts of alcohol in our diet, which has been present in basic things such as fermented fruits that we had to

I think nobody would argue drinking a lot of alcohol, or substantial alcohol, is detrimental for health. The question being argued is whether drinking a small amount of alcohol is detrimental to your health. This is a different matter altog

Omnigent seems to compete more against Orca https://github.com/stablyai/orca They both went to be the Agent IDE layer, where you come with your tasks and everything is taken care of. I've been using Orca for a han

In constitutional monarchy systems like the UK, the king/queen serves a merely representative and largely symbolic role. Morocco's king actually rules over the country. That is a big difference.

I'm indeed bringing something to the discussion. And I'm not Algerian, or from another imaginary "side". I'm flagging that every little bit he's uttering in his comment should be fact-checked by a serious, educ

Informative comment, thank you. Can you elaborate on what symptoms do people with ADHD have that the ADHD “sympathizers” don’t? How can one analyze themselves “on close inspection” to know if they truly have ADHD?

I use Adguard/wipr to great success. Why's uBlock Origin better? Also, wipr now has filtr, which provides URL filtering at the macOS level, so it's as efficient as it gets.

My pleasure. Make sure you check out the thriving ecosystem of tools around it as well. I’ve seen a few projects building on it in a prettt creative way.

I wanted to mention that `zmx` is a beautiful piece of minimal software that basically has gotten rid of my tmux and zellij use. Uses a ghostty-based terminal emulator for each session, supports pretty much all of these features by leveragi

This is very interesting. I've only heard bad things about B70's performance with Vulkan, for example this Reddit link mentioning a Phoronix review: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1sgdt

Similar to Input Mono font, which is superior to Monolisa in pretty much any way I can think of, plus free. https://input.djr.com/

Nice! I didn't know about this company. Thanks for sharing. Has anyone tried and can they vouch for them?

Yes, and to be concrete, you can do so at economical prices at https://requestatest.com (it's a lifesaver in many occasions, I've used it 4 times with great success).

Much better than I originally expected. Drugs like kesimpta allow patients to self inject on a monthly basis relatively low doses, which limits side effects. Better than Ocrevus in that regard judging by what I’ve been hearing from fellow p

They provide benchmarks as well. I like headroom’s approch a lot better. More transparent.

An ex colleague is working on Headroom, a much more legit alternative to RTK. They provide accuracy benchmarks in the repo and are transparent about the compression algorithms used for the different output types. I liked their approach a lo

It's a good point. Though I do wonder if the magic he casted was more at the conceptual level (intense belief on a set of primitives that ought to work) more than the code itself. Even by 2018's standards, the Tensorflow code abov

There's no doubt about Noam's abilities. But I read through that code, and struggle to see its 'magic' or 'alchemy'. Can you elaborate what you find especially good about that code? (You may assume GPU kernel p

The EU is large and most importantly very diverse. Pretty much all the West and South of Europe has a very strong small talk culture. You shall not stereotype a country, and even less so a political and economical union of countries.

I'm sorry, but this whole article just feels heavily AI-generated. The telltales are all over the place (the kinds of headline questions, the structure, the way math is presented, the super concise keyword salads, the bolding, the capi

Most of them can, but assignment 2 requires Nvidia GPUs as it heavily depends on you getting acquainted with Triton, Nsight compute and other GPU low-level programming tools.
