It could be a 3 * delta ~= 0 thing, except they say it's a bigger factor than smoking or obesity, which are known to be significant in absolute terms.

It is fascinating.

Since the summary does say "effective nightmare treatments are currently limited," I will go ahead and point out the correlation != causation thing. I would be very surprised if there weren't any other obvious causes of the nightmare that are known comorbidities, like poverty, or serious illness, or trauma, and so on.

For example, depression is associated with a 1.5x to 2.5x higher risk of early death, even when adjusting for other risk factors. The summary shows no sign of having adjusted for other risk factors, so 3x doesn't seem out of line.

How are some crummy old words and facts going to personally enrich Donald Trump in any way? Can't Intel afford a gold-plated statue of Trump as Rambo or something? Tim Apple sees the writing on the wall.

People have been touting China as the next world leader, displacing the US, since the 90s. Earlier possibly.

They thought it would happen economically and we all would start learning the communist ways.

What I think is more likely to happen is that China will see major societal turmoil in the next two decades, toppling the authoritarian government and then it will become the land of the free and the home of the brave.

How I remember it is closer to the opposite - people supported trade with China with the idea that economic growth would enable the people to demand and receive more freedom (i.e. social turmoil) but the consensus now is it didn't work. So we're returning to Cold War tactics of economic disengagement as we had with the USSR. (Of course China is presently still a huge trading partner, but this is the direction we are choosing).

All their service levels support either 2 or 4 concurrent streams. That doesn't necessarily mean people are "account sharing" as HBO defines it, so I don't know what you mean they "should not allow" them.

It's good to find use cases that still fail, that can help drive research, if it's something that actually matters.

But meanwhile people who find things it does well enough to improve the goods and services they offer - using AI as it exists, not an idealization in their minds - will be the ones reaping the rewards. Usage statistics will continue to go up, just as /. will continue to be dominated by people saying that could never happen.

It really seems to be rationalized by "whatever excuse comes to hand." Right now as a result of a carjacking in DC that happened to be against a DOGE staffer,

Trump posted Tuesday that if D.C. does not quickly "get its act together ... we will have no choice" but to federalize the city, after the incident involving the man whom multiple outlets have identified as Edward Coristine, famously nicknamed "Big Balls."

Will DC be federalized? Not wholly, I doubt. The whole idea is very non-legal and non-constitutional, which makes it either very unlikely, or especially dangerous, depending on how you look at it.

But it certainly seems to be the general direction in which Trumps wants to go - whatever he says, goes. He really assumes that he knows what to do about everything and should be allowed to do it.

In their ideal world, I suppose the AI would still be training on them, but they would pay the movie industry.

And of course, not for the price of a single blu-ray. That's the question, is training permitted under that "EULA."

Like... forever? Like New Jersey where you're not allowed to pump your own gas for some reason nobody can remember?

I guess they thought of that

For me the "killer apps" for a high-res laptop display is maps. My outdoor hobbies call for looking at a lot of maps, including e.g. tracing out trails in aerial imagery. And lots of small labels. Maps look so nice in high-res.

Also, I find that laptops with lower-res screens generally lack the gpu horsepower to drive an external high-res screen (I'm sure there are exceptions). Plugging the laptop into my 4k tv makes a very nice setup for me now that I need reading glasses on the laptop.

huh, I had thought oled was usually less power. I can see why not at least with a bright background though, many source of light vs a few bigger ones

I'm curious why you chose LED?

I wasn't looking for anything above 4k, even for that you have to get somewhat up there in the lineup.

Same 1 TB as the last time for me, almost sorry to say I just haven't found a use for more in a laptop.

My 5 year old Dell laptop recently wore out and shopping for a new one I was surprised how little, if any, specs have advanced for the same money (~$2k). In particular it doesn't look like anybody even makes a 15" 4k oled display any more. I suppose the chips are faster, so that's good, but the RAM, storage, and resolution are all about what they were.

Having read his book, I think he's smarter than all this, but decided to turn off his brain and crawl around on his belly for 1-5 years for political gain.
