Iran had a pretty strict P5 agreement under Obama that would have prevented Iran getting nukes for sanctions relief and other benefits. For some reason, a president decided to toss it for no apparent benefit. Trump literally said a day or t

The following wiki article has a section on it. Cluster munitions allow you to saturate areas and prevent infantry from advancing. The issue is that some of the submunitions malfunction and sit around on the ground and injury civilians (par

Could be due to better control of blood sugar. E.g. lower blood sugar increases inflammation, decrease immune response and provides bacteria a readily available source of food.

Just curious but what would be a good way to design for it ahead of time?

More to the point for Guam and similar locations, canned and non-perishable food can are probably around and more can be airlifted in to get people through it. It was pretty much the standard back in the day.

The dedup functionality in something like zfs or btrfs isn't all that great. It tends to be extremely memory hungry and to slow things down significantly. E.g. ZFS needs around 1-5GB of ram per TB of storage and writes need to be compa

The pause is for immigrant visas so most visas like H1 or H2 or O visas aren't affect this time. But it's definitely part of the US admin's overall theme of ratcheting up visa restrictions and making any immigration or travel

There was another similar flood on the same river about a year or two ago. The problem was the the glacial flooding started in Tibet and affected people just over the border (one of the videos is from the border crossing). There's no i

North Korea isn't doing so well, but it's doing better than Iraq, Libya, or Venezuela at least as far as the leadership is concerned. Their conventional forces being within artillery range of Seoul probably helps but having multi

I think they are the same with some software differences. I believe that the sampling rates and tolerances are different. For example, dexcom displays 5 minute samples while the stelo shows 15 minute averages (it internally gets a new sampl

There's some difference in the readings of a CGM due to sampling different things (blood with finger sticks vs intercelluar fluid for a CGM) and taking a bunch of vitamin C (pills or in food) can throw the readings off. But I think one

Anyone with type 1 diabetes is injecting while outside the home. Usually it's a long acting baseline insulin that you can inject at home and then a faster acting one that you inject before eating or drinking anything that's not wa

That thing about cities bussing their homeless elsewhere seems to be a pretty common urban myth. I don't think anyone has really shown that it's definitively happening on any large scale manner. And it should be relatively easy to

Wasn't there just a post a few days ago about how Chinese researchers ignored a bunch of ethical and safety guidelines to run some of this research and ended up killing a girl? The article just brushes aside that incident and seems to

In practice, it'd probably look like switching to chrome for the majority of users. A lot of tech saavy users would install a plugin but that's a lot of friction especially for random sites or even for an important site. Using chr

It looks like silk top hats were still being made in the 60s so presumably it might still be possible to find people that worked in the factory and recover the knowledge if people really cared.

The data center might be more attractive but the office building provides more jobs and resources to the local community. You skipped that point in your reply. Even if most of the people working in the office building aren't from the

Yeah, I think it was in use before. The wiki article is probably incorrect in the 2021 date.

It doesn't help that at least one datacenter operator and possibly more promised municipalities in Arizona that they wouldn't use their water and then secretly used millions of gallons. This in the middle of water shortages.

Sounds like a copy and patch JIT ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-and-patch ). The python interpreter was experimenting with this and it provides a decent speedup.

How would that work? Wouldn't changing the IMEI regularly either get your phone blacklisted or it may not even get service due to the IMEI not being in your cell provider's system?

Experimental physics isn't just the high energy particle stuff even though that tends to get more media attention. There's a lot of condensed matter, solid state, etc stuff where you can do cutting edge research on a table top or

People ultimately decide on their own. There are institutions that make judgments but ultimate it's an individual that decides. But for a lot of things, there are nearly universal agreement going one way, e.g. everyone almost universal

HRV is an indicator of how much stress you are experiencing. The variability increases when you are more relaxed and under less stress and decreases as your stress level increases. The relationship is a bit counterintuitive but it's a

I'm not sure the body battery/stress measures are that great. Garmin is infamous for having an awful sleep algo and it still has a lot of trouble detecting naps. It doesn't bode well for being able to get stress data. I think

But in the meantime follow the bad law? If the law said that you aren't supposed to give water to the people that cross the desert would you follow that even if the person is dying of thirst?

Do you believe that even morally wrong laws should be enforced and followed? A lot of the segregation and jim crow laws were pretty odious. Women weren't allowed to have bank accounts and credit cards in multiple countries (even the US

Probably not, launch costs are still a few thousand to tens of thousands per kg so launching a 500kg jetpack vs a 5000kg satellite is pretty substantial.

I think the reserves have more complex dynamics. The law requires 250 million barrels to be kept but the pumping rate decreases as more is pumped. Also, there's various estimates that indicate that the storage areas will lose structura

I don't think that's accurate. If tokenization takes say 10ms and the rest of the inference steps take 50 ms then, improving tokenization will improve the time to first token but won't affect throughput much. After the first
