In the abstract they argue that this is because the woodland improvement program located woods in socioeconomically deprived areas. But in general they shouldn't be making any causal claims with observational data like this. It's a frequent problem that popular press takes a study and reframes an association as causation for their story.

I don't believe OSH Park does PCB assembly, only the manufacture of the PCBs themselves.

For reference, considering you can purchase a 12-month Spotify Premium subscription via a $99 gift card at the moment, that same $6k could be used for 60 years of Spotify Premium.

Eventually Microsoft will stop providing security updates to their old OS, compelling users to upgrade if they want to stay on Windows

They probably hitched a ride on human travel. The article says "It’s unclear how the mosquito arrived in Iceland, but theories include the possibility it came via ships or containers."

I have a single night of sleep logged to Apple Health in the last 6-months, and the 6 month average exactly matches that single night. It seems that the author of this app is assuming that Apple is using the wrong denominator when calculating the 6-month average, but I think there could be other explanations for the difference in calculated values. For example how the two approaches might deal with data from different sleep data sources within Apple Health from the same date, how multiple sleep sessions on the same calendar date are merged prior to averaging, etc.

But why would you tailgate a driverless car? I think usually people tailgate to intimidate the person ahead of them to drive faster.

I think PyCharm does a pretty good job as being a MATLAB-like IDE replacement for Python.

Anthropic also has a Claude Code plug-in for JetBrains IDEs: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/27310-claude-code-beta-

There is an M.2 hat for the Pi 5 that allows using an NVMe SSD instead of the SD card.

Also consider that traffic violations are a source of funding for a municipality. Using technology to eliminate violations completely may not be desirable.

Also keep in mind that the Daylight doesn't have an e-ink screen like a Kindle. It is instead a grayscale transflective LCD. That is why it is able to have a high refresh rate like other LCD panels.

I think he is saying she is a SpaceX employee, and was doing well at her job but working a lot.

Yes, FEMA is federal. If eliminating FEMA lowers federal taxes states could increase their state taxes to compensate and each have their own emergency management agencies. But generally it seems like having 50+ emergency management agencies is less efficient than having 1.

The Wii Remote Plus had gyroscopes built-in, the attachable 'Nunchuk' also had an accelerometers.

The first clip just seems like they blurred the background for that shot. Maybe because there were people walking in the background, they felt they needed to obscure them.

I think you're referencing an earlier era. In 1998, 42% of US households had at least 1 computer, 26% with Internet access. https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publicatio...

Was Seth Rich either politically influential or high net worth?

These are all concepts related to Curtis Yarvin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin

There have previously been associations between caloric intake and Alzheimer Disease or Cognitive Aging, for example:

You can run Microsoft Office, Adobe, and Affinity on a Mac, no Windows required.

You can export data from Apple Health to XML.

I think the variety of consumer electronics is too large to be limited to only a few large manufacturers.

Unfortunately the hunter might find himself with nowhere left to turn, stuck between the Rock and a hard place.

For one, Waymo has more sensor modalities in comparison to Tesla, such as Lidar.

Some Playstation 1 were setup to also play the game soundtrack if you put them in an audio CD player.

ShazamKit is not third party, it is provided by Apple. Their website states "The audio stream is processed locally on your device and never recorded.", though this could refer to the audio statistics being collected locally, I assume ShazamKit still contacts an Apple API to get the classification.

The Boox Palma doesn't have a cell connection but is a phone-sized Android based e-paper tablet.

Typically eye-trackers work by illuminating the eyes with near infrared light and using infrared cameras. This creates a higher contrast image of the pupils, etc. I assume Apple is doing this in the Vision Pro. Eye-tracking can also be done with just visible light, though. Apple has the benefit of knowing where all the user interface elements are on screen, so eye-tracking in this on the iPhone or iPad doesn't need to be high precision. Knowledge of the position of the items can help to reduce the uncertainty of what is being fixated on.
