Absolutely, this is selective pressure at work on cells with malregulated genetics. Most typically, this is in the form of drug efflux pumps, but you can definitely get more specific resistances.

Ways to avoid specific resistance include multiple treatments simultaneously, since the probability of generating resistance to both is the product of the probability of resistance either.

If you use other students for that problem instead of other teachers, you'd swap a budgetary problem for a bootstrap problem.

The upshot for this is that the benefit is as much for the student doing the teaching as the one doing the learning. Teaching has a much greater effect on _retention_ than listening reading or even doing, which is the majority determinant underlying the primary school curriculum.

There are a whole host of secondary benefits to this (as well as lots of logistical challenges): the students are doing something useful, teaching, and we pay teachers if you wanted to expend budget there I suspect it would have great effect, as would any other form of ~~bribery~~, I mean, incentivisation; socialising, especially if you have the teaching being done across different classes (which you would want to do because you want the teacher to know more than the student).

(Having not read the article), most likely because the cancer cells (at least at more advanced stages) are busy trying to replicate as fast as possible, so they take up nutrients at a much faster rate than non-cancerous cells. As to why Iron in particular, it is used as a cofactor for enzyme and if Iron is a limiting factor for replication then supplying it will lead to a burst of growth which then (presumably by applying strong oscillatory magnetic fields) you can target those cells directly to locally boil them.

How do the iron nano materials get there? probably a combination of vasculature and diffusion.

They have done this kind of stuff before with gold nanoparticles, iron is a lot more abundant.

Sociomantic (bought by Dunhumby, now defunct IIRC) had a realtime advertisement business built in D.

Weka have a realtime distributed filesystem written in D, used for ML/HPC workloads.

It has an LLVM backend, LDC, that is separate from the LLVM project/Clang.

You might be thinking of Ubiquiti, who were exposed as blind eyeing the sanctions

That is dated Feb 2022. Do you know if anything came of it?

It works with arrays (both fixed size, and dynamically sized) and arrays; between arrays and elements; but not between two scalar types that don't overload opBinary!"~", so no it won't work between two `ushorts` to produce a `uint`

This was essentially how DMD (the reference D compiler) was translated to D. However this was mostly a restricted subset of C++ common to both of them, e.g. no diamond inheritance, no operator overloading whackiness.

`private` is only private to the module, not the struct/class, (In other words, all functions in the same module are all C++ style `friend`s) and so free function in same module work.

Hmmm, I wonder if you could turn this into a sport and have like one paper per year per group of total BS, and shame on the reviewers/conference/journal if they don't catch it, and kudos to the submitters the more blatant it is.

Come to think of it, is there a "Journal of Academic Fraud"?

azimuth is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head

Double entry accounting is still error prone, but single entry accounting is fraud prone.

* Brownian motion. "browning motion" sounds like a euphamism for something else...

54 minutes, but the Yogscast did one a while ago

It is, because wavenumber and position are distinct variables and are orthogonal to each other. FT turn position into wavenumber (positional frequency) and wavenumber into negative position:

[ 0 1] [x] [ ω]

          = 

see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_canonical_transformatio...

the rotation matrix [[ 0 1], [-1 0]] is a 90 degree rotation.

FT is a 90 degree rotation not a 180, the FT of the FT of a function is the mirror image about the origin, not the function itself.

Wiki link says that was published in 2010, a lot has happened in the field in 13 years. That predates whole classes of immuno-theraputics like grafting B-Cell (cells that produce antibodies) receptors onto CD8+ T cells (cells that kill infected cells), which I forget the name of.

not just a drunk, a cheap drunk.

It won't work for liquid tumours (i.e. blood cancers) since they "metastasise" to the whole vein/artery network.

Cancers in the brain/lungs/bone, unlikely, since the speed of sound is very different between bone/air and flesh. Though I could be wrong.

But for any solid tumour, it should work well.

Cons - Sound waves can only penetrate a few centimeters into the body.

For an Air -> flesh medium interface. I'd be very surprised if they didn't couple this to gel to have gel -> flesh interface for what is done with ultrasonography (e.g. imaging for pregnancy) and the article mentions that they do ultrasonography prior to make sure they know where to aim the energy so that would make sense.

You don't need those voting for the bill to act in good faith if you have as part of the system of passing bills that the opposition gets to write the (adversarial part of the) test suite. Then either that forces any loopholes (or other undesirable effects) to be: updated as explicitly intended (with bad publicity and potential for reversion upon a change of government); or taken into account and the bill updated to reflect that, or left in the test case for case law to cite as intended.

Either way you really want intent to be encoded somehow.

Yes, compulsory voting is great, it removes a bunch of pathologies of democracy, to name a few: electioneering is about making people vote for me and not for others and not trying to waste effort to "fire up the base" (and therefore elections are much cheaper since the "volume of speech" required much lower); voter suppression is much harder to pull off since voting is a responsibility not just a right (still possible, just make the kill themselves, see the robodebt fiasco).

D does. Not source compatible, but mangling and ABI for linking. And D can generate headers for `extern(C++)` declarations defined in D

Indeed, we should be thankful there is no human equivalent of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_facial_tumour_disease

[AI is] the only practical way of getting to 1:1.

It is not the only way: getting other students to teach. Yes it has a bootstrapping problem of quality and requires QA on the delivery but it is still definitely doable at scale.

One of my worst ones was a compiler bug for a PLC which would cause a floating point operation that underflowed to become NaN instead of 0.0 (which is very common if you are writing set-point tracking code!) and then throw out the loop, so the controller would reach set point and then slowly start drifting as is accumulated error, but only for the rest of the "line"* of that code. So if you split your calculations across multiple lines then you were fine, but if you tried to group your operations sensibly then it no linger worked.

PLCs do the loop for you, you only write the body

*it was some bastardised version of ladder logic (itself a bastard representation of code) with functional blocks, so "line" = rung. I no longer work with PLCs.

you don't need to make it a holiday, just doing it on a weekend should suffice. E.g. in Australia, elections, Federal, state and local are all held on Saturdays.

If you actually want to improve turnout, enact compulsory voting. That is much better, but still no silver bullet to electing sane competent and not corrupt politicians.
