I nudged a car exactly into the pool and got no credit for it. It had exploded already though, so perhaps that was the problem?

I asked Gemini pro how big it was, and it could’ve been a hallucination, but it said 175 billion parameters.

They recently released an update for my 2021 vintage OLED TV, and after applying it it now doesn’t work properly at all. It’s still usable, but only barely.

We don’t know that it’s direct remote control. It might be that they sent a command to it to back up or move forward and it figures out how to do that.

For hiccups, this always works:

Yay! Decaf works too:

Three instant coffee extracts (light roast, dark roast, decaffeinated dark roast) and six coffee components [caffeine (1), chlorogenic acid (2), quinic acid (3), caffeic acid (4), quercetin (5), and phenylindane (6)] were investigated for their ability to inhibit the fibrillization of Aβ and tau proteins using thioflavin T (ThT) and thioflavin S (ThS) fluorescence assays, respectively. Inhibition of Aβ and α-synuclein oligomerization was assessed using ELISA assays.

All instant coffee extracts inhibit fibrillization of Aβ and tau, and promote α-synuclein oligomerization at concentrations above 100 μg/mL. Dark roast coffee extracts are more potent inhibitors of Aβ oligomerization (IC50 ca. 10 μg/mL) than light roast coffee extract (IC50 = 40.3 μg/mL), and pure caffeine (1) has no effect on Aβ, tau or α-synuclein aggregation.

I definitely agree with that. Everyone will have their movie that they want you to watch and you won’t wanna watch them because they usually suck. But some of them will be good and that’s the way it is now with music too so I still think it’s a good thing to enable more creative expression.

portable masks with safe air to breath temporary when you are outside

With regard to PM2.5, that already exists and is called an N95 mask.

This happened to me About eight years ago I think, and I was finally able to get someone on chat at the time who escalated it and was able to get it resolved. I think I needed to re-open the account in order to get the chat though.

Anything similar for R?

Hmmm

This is why I have always thought that can and bottle deposit prices should keep up with inflation: to give the collectors a living wage.

Hunter-gatherers actually worked even less: about 1 1/2 to 3 hours a day

As discussed in Stone Age Economics by Sahlins:

The biblical expulsion from the Eden of gathering fruit to the toil of agriculture also makes that point.

We can easily reduce this to effectively time=0 which is an infinite speedup.

Since the membership of any of the local cells in the global cells is static, we only have to compute this once. Then we add a globalCell parameter to each local cell to specify which global cell it's contained in.

If this uses up too much memory, we could go to a slower but still much, much faster than the blog post's method of something like:

- Create 2d array where the 1st dimension is a sorted list of local row values, one per global row value, that represent the maximum X value within any global cell. Then the the 2nd dimension are local column values, one per global column value that similarly correspond to the maximum Y value of any local cell per global cell. (mapping the coordinates to an array)

- Find the entry that the current local row value fits into (for example the entry with a value higher than the local row value, which is higher than the next list entry).

- This selects a second dimension array for that global row that has similar properties: it's only necessary to then find which value the local row fits into to determine the global cell (which would be the array's value at that index).

Interesting viewpoint on melatonin. Any references?

This is what they mean by fasting mimicking diet, and includes the schedule: https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(15)...

Right, they will audit the source code but have no IP rights to it, is my guess.

Also they will probably take over responsibility for the Play and App Store accounts and be responsible for pushing the new versions (after audit).

Oracle can audit the app code and also probably sandbox the back end in such a way that they can be fairly sure things aren't escaping, at least not on a large scale.

Here's what I am guessing it is:

- Bytedance retains some ownership and control of the app and the algorithms

- Oracle runs the entire back end on their infrastructure

- Oracle guarantees to the US government that no data is going back to China (because they control the release of the app and control the back end)

- This satisfies the USA's (supposed) national security concerns and also satisfies China because TikTok is not actually being "sold" to a US company.

FYI please spell check!

Poor spelling makes things look less credible ("tedius", etc.)

Don't fall for the marketing. It's nothing special, just bacteria: https://www.foodandwine.com/news/solein-carbon-dioxide-food

Basically every plant is making "protein out of thin air". Most of the carbon in plants is from atmospheric CO2. And if you use electric lighting, it's "CO2 and electricity".

This is just marketing, plain and simple.

By “the conversation “I mean the conversation about firefox adding default protections against tracking. These are not intended for hacker news readers or techies. They are intended for the general public. And that is what I think the conversation is about.

Interesting. Because I find people who are Republican and “conservative” to be quite unattractive.

And “conservative” is such a misnomer for what they are. They don’t want to conserve the environment or conserve civil liberties (freedom from authoritarianism), which would be conservative in a good way. They do want to conserve their privilege, so maybe that’s it.

Are you guys disinfecting?

If so, which method are you using?

If not, why not?

Javascript is used by such a large percentage of sites that having it disabled is not a viable option for most people.

The point of these by-default protections is that they are supposed to work for most people. Suggesting that someone techie can do extra stuff that most people won't do is not really germane to the conversation.

Why's that?

Latest Firefox still doesn't protect against browser fingerprinting. This from the EFF Panopticlick:

  Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 303,579 tested in the past 45 days.
  Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 18.21 bits of identifying information.

The original is badly damaged, and then damaged more by over-cleaning, one of the misplaced enthusiasms of our age.

By stripping away everything but the original paint (of which often not much is left), irreplaceable information is lost, because the retouchers had often seen the original or more of it, and restored detail that had been damaged.

What remains after these extreme cleanings is too often little more than the underpainting and initial sketch. It's a great loss and a great pity.

Yeah, it's not too convincing. The ingredients tend to repeat and the recipe doesn't refer to the ingredients. For example, just got this:

Crispy duck Stacks

[INGREDIENTS]

• 1 baguette, sliced 1/3 inch thick • 1/4 cup corn oil • 2 cups fresh spinach, coarsely crumbled • 1 cup grated Parmesan • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan • 1 cup creme fraiche • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
