This is a good argument, but it has a flaw here, which is that a systemic fever during illness may still be an evolutionarily beneficial adaption on average if there are a some situations where it can be the difference between life and death, e.g. bacterial pneumonia or sepsis, but that doesn't mean it's equally useful for all types of illness.
I did a fevered research dive last time I had the flu and came to the conclusion that there wasn't really any good evidence that fever is helpful for flu, and I should have few compunctions about suppressing it. (And that most of the situations where fever is really valuable for are ones where in the modern world you should go to a hospital and in the case of a bacterial infection be given antibiotics)
There's no shortage of benchmarks (coding or otherwise) that any competent coding model will now pass with ~100%.
But no-one quotes those any more because if everyone passes them, they don't serve any useful purpose in discriminating between different models or identifying advancements
So people switch to new benchmarks which either have more difficult tasks or some other artificial constraints that make them in some way harder to pass, until the scores are low enough that they're actually discriminating between models. and a 50% score is in some sense ideal for that - there's lots of room for variance around 50%.
(whether the thing they're measuring is something that well correlates to real coding performance is another question)
So you can't infer anything in isolation from a given benchmark score being only 50% other than that benchmarks are calibrated to make such scores the likely outcome
> Cable does not matter, tried with many of them including ones providing power from other chargers.
That might not necessarily be the right conclusion. My understanding is: almost all USB-C power cables you will enounter day to day support a max current of at most 3A (the most that a cable can signal support for without an emarker). That means that, technically, the highest power USB-PD profile they support is 60W (3A at 20V), and the charger should detect that and not offer the 65W profile, which requires 3.25A.
Maybe some chargers ignore that and offer it anyway, since 3.25A isn't that much more than 3A. For ones that don't and degrade to offering 60W, if a laptop strictly wants 65W, it won't charge off of them.
So it's worth acquiring a cable that specifically supports 5A to try, which is needed for every profile above 60W (and such a cable should support all profiles up to the 240W one, which is 5A*48V).
(I might be mistaken about some of that, it's just what I cobbled together while trying to figure out what chargers work with my extremely-picky-about-power lenovo x1e)
It's perfectly coherent to be in favour of strong protection of trademarks but also weaker copyright laws. They have very different purposes (broadly, consumer protection as a mark of origin vs incentivising creativity). Just because they're both in the legal category of "IP" doesn't mean it's hypocritical to have very different positions on both.
> That morass makes it difficult for the public to cleanly digest when something is blatantly unconstitutional
I'm not convinced that's a relevant issue here. For some parts of EU treaty law, sure, but here the context here is disapplying EU legislation that's incompatible with fundamental human rights. Those parts are all in one document in one treaty: the Charter of Fundamental Rights[0], which was incorporated into the Lisbon treaty.
(besides, whether in the EU, somewhere with a formal constitution like the US, or the UK, the vast majority of the work of figuring out whether something is in breach of treaty / constitutional provisions is always going to be analysing caselaw)
What problem here would be solved by ratifying a constitution?
Like -- ISTM that the relevant property here is the ability of the courts to overturn ordinary legislation for incompatibility with basic human rights provisions. But the EU already has this. the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU (which is pretty much a superset of the european convention on human rights) is incorporated into the Lisbon treaty, and all EU legislation must be compatible with it. EU courts have overturned legislation for incompatibility with the CFR, eg Digital Rights Ireland[0].
The collection of member state treaties is for ~all intents and purposes a constitution, just not in a single document, and without the word "constitution" at the top.
It's glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC). Very much doubt it's heat-reactive, suspect it's just oil & dirt on a somewhat porous surface (so cleaning properly is labour-intensive, stickers are cheaper)
