This is an interesting point about energy market balancing but it has causality backwards. Spain simply has a better energy mix than Germany, no matter how big the spread between the countries is as a function of interconnectedness.

Reminds me of US Pinball laws https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball#Relation_to_gambling

What is going on with the second element in the final example?

    std::pair x {1, 2.0};
    auto [v, w] = x;

    std::tuple_element<0, std::pair<int, float> >::type&

The meandering movement of the droplets around the sides remind me of the Gray-Scott reaction–diffusion system

This has little to do with equilibrium analysis, it is just the market for lemons story but for the ad space. You need to investigate the buyers and what they believe about brand quality.

Meta famously tracks people extensively even if they don't have an account there, through a technique called shadow profiles.

Democratic AI is non-negotiable

I experienced the same, I had to disable my adblocker to view it, it seems the content is inside a tag `<article class="social-sharing">` but I am unsure whether this triggered my adblocker.

I think in the example the parent gave `arr[3]` is past the end of the 3 element array, where `i` might reside, potentially changing its value.

Not really, the lava lamp's fluid dynamics are very sensitive to initial conditions and the fluids behave chaotically, whereas the bouncy balls have highly predictable trajectories.

The author claims to be an expert in C++ but begins the article with a detour that incorrectly states that static and dynamic dispatch are necessarily orthogonal in C++. In reality you can do both within the same hierarchy using CRTP combined with a virtual base method. Compile-time inlining eliminates the overhead associated with the virtual call, so you can match Rusts flexibility with the same performance.

Businesses just rise to meet demands. Texas is the ideal place for the highly individualistic, neighbors an environmental issues be damned attitude. It's not like the cities there are designed so you can take a leisurely walk from your house to get some victuals.

Then why shouldn't those people choose Ada, which also has Ada Web Application (AWA)?

This is sad news, I was aware of his work on Half Life 2 through art books, and I bought the first Dishonored game because of it

Meta AI asks permission to do this, but note that in some U.S. states personal publicity rights end upon death. Isn't it hilariously Wallacian that this technology can be used to make targeted ads featuring the viewers deceased loved ones?

I guess it is a century behind because Europe hasn't scrapped their commuter rail for roads. I took a train from Manhattan today and its theoretical max speed is 110 mile/h, so the US has fallen behind Europe by your logic.

Yes but the train from Manhattan to Newark is an additional hour and is terribly slow, taking almost as long as the subway to JFK. Going by car is as slow or slower if you get caught in traffic.

I had a lot of fun writing low latency parsers for various message standards C++. There are a lot of fun things you can do when you can take ownership of the read buffer and you can figure out how to parse in-situ (modifying the data in place as you move along)

Curious about the differences between this map and the Europa Universalis IV extended timeline https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=21741... ? I get the the latter is a videogame and is likely altered to be more fun to play, but I wonder how accurate their historical research is.

Do fighter pilots accumulate all that much exposure to G-forces in terms of duration? 2000 flight hours sounds like a lot, but aren't they flying steady most of the time?

Wouldn't professional bobsleigh pilots, alpine skiers, formula 1 drivers and downhill mountain bikers accumulate many more hours of high G-force exposure over the period of say a year?

The chart in the article is multi-dimensional, it has two dimensions: what you mean is time-varying.

The title distracts from the actual conclusion of the blog post, namely that it is apparently hard to build projects that include assembly on something called Alpine Linux.

Sure Buettner does focus on the older people of the community by interviewing them, but that does not generalise to the claim of the book (or the website to this day) that this community has a high life expectancy, which is shown to be false by the corrected statistics. This is known as a "population fallacy".

By focusing on the older people only in such a small population, he is introducing selection bias and survivorship bias. Moreover, he did not control or compare studies. I believe there are more than one Adventist community in the US, yet those are not Blue Zones somehow?

I don't think that is right. In the Blue Zones marketing material, they characterise Loma Linda's 9000 Adventists, who make up 40% of the population, as living a decade longer on average. That is the claim being investigated. This claim is hard to reconcile with the CDC's official numbers which show a typical life expectancy for the entire area, unless living next to Adventists somehow lowers the life expectancy for the remaining 60% of the population, which would be far more interesting.

I'd be interested to know if Amazon has a client risk group, because I've seen a few of such large monthly bills, and I sure hope they don't settle these in arrears at such a low frequency as monthly payments.

I think we get an apparent contradiction because of how we stratify the data. According to the CDC/KFF study, firearms are still the leading cause of death for people age 1-19, and substance use is only 6th in the list for that age group. If you instead interpret "young age" as another age range, then indeed other causes of death may appear more prevalent.

How is the headline deceptive? If you can trust the source, the statistic holds for individuals aged 1-17, as is written in the first sentence: "In 2020 and 2021, firearms contributed to the deaths of more children ages 1-17 years in the U.S. than any other type of injury or illness"

Firearms are the leading cause of death for children in the US. That is not the case in other wealthy countries. According to this article

This spells bad news for "MICROSOFT B.V.", the famous Dutch software company that has reported being responsible for billions of revenue of the Microsoft Corporation over those years.

The reference to the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) here is puzzling. Foremost, the strongest form of the EMH implies that consistent outperformance is not possible, contradicting the rest of the writing and what I believe is its main point: that evidence in the real world is often much stronger than in models. But also when switching from the model world of the EMH to real world markets this application is problematic because of the multiple testing problem. For a trader who recently had a short run of excess profits, the likelihood P(excess returns | skilled) would be high. However, because many diverse traders are in the market and some will show strong performance purely by chance, P(excess returns) or the marginal likelihood of observing such a winning streak would also be high. This dilutes the high likelihood term, leading to a less dramatic update in the posterior P(skilled | excess returns) . Then, the prior P(skilled) should be adjusted to be much more conservative.
