Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

I don't understand how these decisions are made in the Chinese companies. Is that from a (secret) party directive or just convergent decision making? It's not clear to me whether this is normal competition at play or central planning by the CCP.

Wondering how much the operations in China are orchestrated by the central government vs. free competition. Anyone with more insights on this?

That was a good and funny read

From first principles, does anyone know what the minimum costs are to put a rocket into space? There must be a minimum cost given that the rocket engines have to thrust until reaching escape velocity to get you to space.

Sleep is a predictor of poverty

Curious. Any sources for this. How does this work? Feel like many high paying, stressful jobs are actually bad for your sleep.

This. Try with smaller doses starting from 0.1 mg (liquids are best for this) and work your way upwards to reach the optimal dosage. Tablets are often overdosed which leaves you drowsy in the morning.

Way too high in my experience. Can leave you croggy and dependent. Micro dosing using drops is more effective for me without feeling groggy in the morning. Anything above 1mg is way above the natural melatonin level of our body.

Yes. I agree. Liquid melatonin is the way to go for micro dosing. I also have good experiences with micro doses of 0.1-0.2 mg when waking up too early and having difficulties of falling asleep again. Taking a full 1 mg leaves after 3 or 4 am you very croggy in the morning.

Hm. Not sure what's the use case for this?!

Only after I read this sentence, I realized it must have been from a German publisher :D

"If you're not at the table, you end up on the menu," says Wagner from his air-conditioned office.

And Sama over Trump?

Good point but reads like AI slop :(

Wondering, how this deals with drainage in heavy rainfall?

That's a nice tautology

How do they know how this language was read?

LLMs are a commodity. No way frontier labs are worth that much as they are valued right now (except if they can monopolize distribution which I doubt - and that's a different value than the actual intelligence).

Seems to be a hapax legomenon https://www.oed.com/dictionary/xylopolist_n "OED's only evidence for xylopolist is from 1656, in the writing of Thomas Blount, antiquary and lexicographer."

Haha. Yeah I figured Xylo- (wood) + sth. related to mono-poly so wood-seller made sense. Never have heard of this word before

Why should you? You still want to oxygenate the body as well as possible and distribute that oxygen throughout the body (primarily to the brain). The speed of the CPR is (I assume) rather related to the size of the heart (how quickly the heart refills from the veins) which is independent of temperature.

What is TBI?

How would you benchmark them? Are there any benchmarks for harnesses?

Fairly long article for something about brevity... Didn't have the time to read it /s

I don't get it why TSMC doesn't use it's market power to increase their margins. The article was very light on the why. Any one else who has an idea why they don't abuse their monopoly?

Statistically significant does not necessarily mean practically significant. If you just increase your sample size sufficiently, you can measure a significant effect, despite having a small magnitude of the measured effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(statistics)#:~:text=Sta...
