Horrifying sure, but I am curious what is the motivation here. We use more lambdas and for more things than are generally considered kosher... one more couldn't hurt.

Thank you sir. I know what I can do for the next few days!

TIL, thank you sir. Gonna try this out tomorrow.

I thought diet intervention is the primary treatment prior to dialysis. With the goal of prolonging the time until mechanical intervention or replacement becomes necessary. But I've never heard of diet alone taking someone off dialysis and a quick search for papers on the subject shows mostly positive associations of a reduction in protein on kidney function but nothing suggesting a magic bullet.

*edit To add, I have a couple of associates at my office approaching kidney failure. They're all on diet interventions to reduce protein and potassium. Not sure how the potassium interacts with it but I'm not a doctor either.

Only for the first few people who do it and it will come at a great cost to everyone else. Classic collective action problem at work and down right dangerous thinking. If even a fraction of the population acts on this idea the rate of transmission will increase and the overall outcome of the event will be worse.

Flatten the curve. Reduce the rate of spread. Buy time to keep the strain on the health care industry as low as possible. Increase the probability that vaccinations can be produced in time to assist. And stop spreading this ridiculous idea.

The communication delay is one of the key plot elements in The Three Body Problem books.

Yeah but the AI could pretend it knows.

Someone here wrote a POC. They happened to be fairly high up, not C-level but well respected. Basically, I can save x% cost using this. You can bootstrap that if you're not high enough to sit at the table, just need to convince someone who does.

I appreciate that this approach won't work for everyone.

This is oddly similar to what we're doing. Except my team is heading towards sagemaker against my wishes.

Does the use of neonicotinoids not also affect the native pollinators? I was under the impression that the issue is not solely honey bees but all insects. (Honey bees being a useful public face on the problem)

Yes, but isn't it predicted that the average life expectancy of the current generation will be less than that of the prior generations?

You've sold me!

Double down on this. I want to work in Aerospace, but not for the military industrial complex. Who do I work for?

I've run into this problem. But I believe the parent was referring to the situation where new lambdas spin up and aren't immediately ready to respond to invocations. The delay can be significant in some cases though almost immeasurable in aggregate.

There is an absolutely solid book on the subject of how NASA comes to make decisions. The Space Shuttle Decision[1]. I say solid and not good because it's easily the most boring book I've read this year being composed entirely of bureaucracy.

I picked up this book based on this quote from Aaron and absolutely struggled through it. Taking over a year to read completely. And then in the end, he was correct. I did wish there was more.

Thanks

~Or send them to your dwarven workshops to make mugs, tables, doors, and thrones.~

They're already rich so no need for further trade goods at this point. Best to continue to dig deeper... By the way, Dwarffortress is coming to Steam 'soon'.

Could I trouble you to give me an example of the second one? Something rust provides that might be better to learn the hard way?

I came across this when I attempted to run wow in linux after upgrading my gpu and ram. This was this month, and last time I logged in was in Legion. Exactly as you describe but you can fix it with Vulkan.

This sounds like an amazing pain in the ass. I wonder if this impacts my own lambdas.

Whoever this woman was, she was an engineer working at a cutting edge computer company in the 1970s. She likely suffered ridiculous prejudices to get to the point where she was. I'm inclined to believe that she did know (at least some) quantum mechanics and had to put up with people treating her as if she didn't know.

I can see how you've read the context and I think I've taken the opposite understanding. Either way, now people who didn't read the article can see both and decide for themselves!

Don't leave out the rest of the quote.

>"Yes, it really annoys me," she said. "On the other hand, he is the only one who ever explained quantum mechanics to me as if I could understand it." That was the essence of Richard's charm.

Gonna try using rust this year as well. I have no background in rust at all so I'm a bit excited for the extra experience of trying a new language.

I wasn't sure about this so I did a quick google. There may have been an estimated 20-30 million bison at one point across North America. And currently something close to 80-90 million cattle today in the US alone. To answer why this is bad and bison were fine you have to remember how these creatures are being used. The cattle will be concentrated today in ways the bison never were, so the impact will be less diffuse. Second, the industrial processes around cattle production will use fuel to grow feed, pump water, and transport the beef product that previously would have stayed in the ecosystem when the bison died. These externalities are what cause the problem apparently.

No one single ranch is necessarily causing problems. It's a collective issue. No single person needs to withdraw enough water from the well to run it dry, a town can do it one cup at a time without anyone intending to cause his neighbor to go thirsty.

What's the alternative to newegg if I may ask?

Only thing I could think of.

Isn't it the case that we just need to wipe out mosquitoes in an area long enough for malaria to die off? Didn't that happen in the US with DDT, the mosquitoes came back but the malaria stayed away. Or am I mistaken?

Though frankly I'd be willing to risk them gone for good.

This doesn't hold in all cases. One of my all time favorite books is Catch-22. That was an absolute slog to complete when I first read it in university and I considered abandoning it several times. However the ending surprised me and I went on to reevaluate the entire story with fresh eyes. Plenty of novels (and other media now that I think of it) require long setups for a sufficiently sophisticated punch.

Rule of thumb in these cases is to use natural vanilla for items that do not get baked. Such as ice creams or cake frosting. And use the artificial vanilla for baked goods. And even then I lean towards the natural stuff when I bake. Real vanilla has a complexity and depth to it, like a fine cigar, you can sit and savor it.
