You may be right about the article but 64 is the correct number: 64 completed week 12 and were included in the repeated-measures analysis.

This may not be the type of hot take that generates clicks, but I agree with you think we'll eventually settle on a collection that actually work. The 2017 Subaru I drive from time to time initiates emergency braking about half the tim

Yet another reason to avoid any automaker that doesn't support CarPlay/Android Auto. Bad enough not to be able to use one's choice of software on a vehicle you supposedly own. But Apple/Google has a strong incentive to m

We laugh, and rightly so, at the time sharing systems of the 70s and 80s that didn't use passwords. I bet allowing a whole other virtual person to run outside a VM, with access to an actual file system instead of a version-controlled b

You might be surprised at how little we know about fusion. We can observe the sun, but the sun is already very hot, millions of degrees, so any unknown fusion reactions would have already happened. Nowadays we have high-powered lasers that

That's not just amazing, it's inconceivable! I can go on a hike on almost any trail in the SF Bay Area and pick up a half dozen in a couple hours.

Is it really not UL approved? Hard to call it a premium product in that case.

This was not what I was expecting. The doctors I know are mostly miserable; stuck between the independence but also the burden of running their own practice, or or else working for a giant health system and having no control over their own

Perhaps we didn't realize how much stability the "two powers" model generated. It caused inevitable arms races as the two powers vied to stay competitive, but there were only two. And the USSR was able to de-escalate on its o

If you have a weird phoneme / meaning mapping brain like mine, I would note that he is not the doctor who is known for the "replication crisis". Even though Ioannis means John in Greek. Took me a second to tease that out. ht

It does make you wonder what would cause a downgrade. The debates over the debt ceiling have certainly brought the U.S. closer to default than I would ever have thought. It's true that the U.S. can never run out of dollars, so in once

Oh, I have a long list of vendors that I'll buy from over Amazon. I buy almost nothing from them. On the rare occasion that I simply can't find something locally or from a reputable vendor, or need it on very short time scale, wel

Well, they wouldn't be able to pretend that they are selling from the official store for that inventory. Which I, personally, would be OK with. I've been on eBay for a couple decades, I don't mind ordering from Jack and Jill&

It's not clear what LLMs are good at, and there's great interest in finding out. This is made harder by the frenetic pace of development (GPT 2 came out in 2019). Not surprising at all that there's research into how LLMs fail

It was the same thing for us with Qt Commercial licensing. We use only the LGPL version, dynamically link, don't modify the source, and give credit, so we're fully in compliance. To get support we chose to purchase commercial lice

Ooh, looks like they added that in late 2023. Man. In August 2023 I actually migrated all of my email to Proton and was ready to go when I realized they didn't support forwarding. Thanks for letting me know.

Inbox. They claim that the inbox is special in IMAP and it's hard to have a lot of messages there. 150K messages in the whole mailbox, I think. 25 years of email.

I chose Migadu because they seem to be genuinely helpful and are very affordable. I probably would have gone Proton but they don't support forwarding. The downside is that downloading messages is fairly slow when you have 10-20k messag

Apple's Airpods Max headphones appear to be the official uniform of University of California students. We've been visiting and I swear they outnumber normal headphones.

Since less water would increase the detergent concentration, I was wondering if the opposite was the case. My family's old washer filled up the entire tub with water, so any detergent (and any pathogen, to be fair) would be quite dilut

If I had to guess, it has more to do with the type of person who is willing to save diligently for decades. Government work (at least until the last few months) tended to be lower paying but steadier. The type of risk-averse person who take

I'm curious what, specifically, the foundation claims is contrary to the plans. It's not like Wright himself built the houses (or did the drawings, for that matter). There's always been a process of modification when the cont

If you look at how most professors and adjuncts are rewarded and paid, it makes sense. You can't get quality instruction from a adjunct who is only a half-step away from sleeping in their car, especially when they know they might be go

Serious crash rates are a hockey stick pattern. 20% of the drivers cause 80% of the crashes, to a rough approximation. For the worst 20% of drivers, the Waymo is almost certainly better already. Honestly, at this point I am more interested

My immediate guess based on no specific knowledge was “arbitrary constant while they were figuring things out” and it sounds like that’s not far from the truth. The process of discovery is often far more protracted than it seems when one is

And merely taking the training will help you deal with other aspects of emergency first aid. The Red Cross's training really pounds in the "check if the scene is safe", etc. sequence that you need to be effective under extrem

Cooking Light definitely does that, they have many volumes though it’s got a bit of a “generic American food” vibe. “A New Way to Cook” was perhaps more ambitious than the content warranted, but Sally Schneider certainly knows how to get th

Quite interesting to see [Hans] Bethe Ansatz on there. I wasn't familiar with it, apparently it started as an Ansatz and Bethe corrected it into a theory. But this all happened more than ten years before Feynman was doing physics.

Tried it in Llama v3.3 70b and it got it every time out of 5 samples. I guess the others are interpreting it as a trick question or something.

Told a rented Telsa "Turn on wipers". It replied that it didn't understand "Turn on vipers". Yes, car, I have a basket of venomous snakes in the back and wish them to be activated! Bravo! Once LLMs are a lot better
