That’s the one out of three that’s not bad

Take it up with geohot

Strange way to structure an argument. He seems to be arguing in favor of local models, but most of his examples are reasons local models are bad.

This is one study with 20 subjects and has never been replicated. There have since been multiple studies and reviews that have found no effect on hair loss or follicle health

Is criticism is directly, and convincingly, addressed in the article.

Some of what’s driving the seed oil panic isn’t wrong — it’s just misattributed. Ultra-processed food really is a problem. . . . But seed oils are not why ultra-processed food behaves that way. They are but one ingredient in a complex and highly engineered product designed to keep you eating past fullness. The oil isn’t the villain; the food product surrounding the oil is. Blaming seed oils for the harms of ultra-processed food is as helpful as blaming the wrapper.

investigators determined Bradley had violated State Police policies, and he was suspended for one day.

This has already happened in Norway, where 96% of new cars sold are EVs. They didn’t ban combustion but they did support adoption with subsidies and other incentives

For me the killer feature of jj is how much easier it makes rebasing. With git, if I knew a coworker had recently merged changes to a file I’d been working on, I would really dread syncing because I knew there was a good chance I’d get stuck in rebase hell.

With jj, you still have to deal with conflicts, but you can do it on your own time, so I never fear syncing anymore. Also, on the rare occasion that I mess up a merge, I no longer have to pull out my git sorcerer hat to fix it. I just `jj undo` and it’s like it never happened.

jj has far fewer warts than git. You don’t have to learn every jj idiom, you just have to find a workflow you like, which you will, quickly, because it’s so easy to use. Personally I don’t know why anyone uses `edit` but if they like it then I’m happy for them.

Quite a surprising result: “across multiple coding agents and LLMs, we find that context files tend to reduce task success rates compared to providing no repository context, while also increasing inference cost by over 20%.”

The FDA has approved it for men up to age 45. I myself got it in my late thirties at a pharmacy. For one of the shots, the pharmacist hassled me a little, asking if I was high risk, but acquiesced when I told them I was. For the other two, they just gave me the shot. It was also covered by my insurance.

Gardasil is usually a three-shot series. You may want to go back and get those followup shots

It runs great on windows 11. The install took a long time but I didn’t have to do anything special to make it work

Yes, it has been redacted far in excess of what the law allows, and the material is a tiny fraction of what the administration was required by law to release by this date

it agreed with me that its initial answer was wrong.

Most likely that was just its sycophancy programming taking over and telling you what you wanted to hear

No, we have no rulers but ourselves.

I did some searches for “nobody should be on that platform” and found:

- one hit on a Lana del Rey message board

- one bluesky post from 8 months ago with no likes, reposts, or replies.

If you widen the search to “should be on that platform” then you get more hits, but many are references to Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, TikTok etc. It seems that people are reaching for a noun that can refer to these social media properties that are not just “sites” and not just “apps.” It would appear that ”platform” is the word we’ve landed on.

I think the idea was that it was the sum of all historical profits. Contrast that with valuation, which at best is about the expectation of future profits.

That was $100B in profits, not valuation.

The new changes in C++14, 17, and 20 are really nice. It feels like the language keeps getting cleaner and easier to use well

They had one week to “onboard” and then were fired with no warning. The fact iscoding assistants show promise but just aren’t that helpful for most experienced engineers at this point, so installing the tool is just another time-wasting task. Maybe they didn’t get it done that week for the same reason people put off TPS reports and other management-driven make-work?

Of course, just send me an email

I had this done recently, also in a Brooklyn apartment, and this article made me appreciate that my contractor was insanely good. The main reason I didn’t DIY it was because I thought it would be hard to get the condo board to agree to it, but after watching them do the work I realized there was no way I could have done it myself. Not really because of the HVAC part, but because of the cutting through exterior walls and snaking the line through the walls. It took about 2 days, the quality of the work was very good, and they even worked around my kid’s nap schedule. They have also been very prompt when I’ve needed service calls since then. Overall it was a huge amount of money well spent.

Block BEARD does not mention VPNs, but its broad definition of “service provider” could be interpreted to include them.

The prospect of all VPN providers being required to block pirate sites, or being unable to operate in the US, is very scary indeed

I go to work to work, not to hear about other people’s sex lives. Save that kind of talk for your friends, or talk to your mom about it, but don’t involve me. I shouldn’t have to hear about it just because we both work on the same widget.

By the way, Carlson did a lot more than flirt. He allegedly retaliated against an employee for rejecting his advances. That’s horrible.

The notion that this kind of politicization started in the 90s is fanciful revisionism. It wasn’t really a thing in the US until about 2017. The word it’s known by is Trumpism.

“This case was subsequently eclipsed by Congress's intervention in the form of an amendment to the Copyright Act of 1909, introducing a compulsory license for the manufacture and distribution of such "mechanical" embodiments of musical works.”

jj is compatible with git repos while being faster to learn and easier to use. There’s basically no reason for anyone to learn git now that this exists.

By law, he has no such power. Congress has made impoundment illegal.
