> Just yesterday I saw an article on Instagram that they are putting smoked meats and sausages and similar products in the came cancerogenic category as smoking.

My understanding is that this is a statement of how confident we are in the evidence that smoked meats and sausages are carcinogenic. Essentially, we are very sure that smoking is very carcinogenic and we are also very sure that smoked meats and sausages are a tiny bit carcinogenic.

Perhaps people were lying to you in order to make you want that new president...

I don't think this makes sense for two reasons:

- The ways the Fed pursues price stability and the FTC produces antitrust may have a similar effect, but they have a completely different set of skills required by the employees and they lend themselves to different management structures. One is essentially economics research, the other is essentially law enforcement.

- If the cost of doing a crime was higher interest rates, then anyone with low debt could freely commit the crime. Why not simply make the fine proportional to the price impact on consumers (e.g. if you collude to raise prices and make an extra $1 million, you pay a $3 million fine)?

It seems that the US may be in a process of signing itself up for many of the drawbacks of Chinese-style state capitalism (regulatory conflicts of interest, opportunities for politicians to rent-seek) with stakes small enough that the taxpayer will see little real economic benefit.

I would love to see real examples of what reduced quality means in practice. Are you able to recover a document from the vector in a human readable format? If so, what sort of changes come up?

I could imagine a scenario where differences tend to be more substantive than you'd expect because of how less frequent words with fine distinctions in meaning - the very words that make the document special - may be embedded in the vector space.

The difference is between the possibility someone might look and the guarantee that they are looking.

The particular circumcision was also performed in an unsanitary manner (metzitzah b'peh), hence why a whistleblower brought it to the attention of authorities and it was prosecuted. This is not accepted practice in the US either.

No one here is getting arrested for doing a normal at-home bris, even if it's technically illegal.

Well, he didn't just say it was anti-semitic. He called for the judges to rule in a specific way. It was very much framed as being about Belgian sovereignty by much of the Belgian media.

One of the mohels was from the US, it was viewed as asking for US citizens to have special treatment in the Belgian legal system.

Well I would say that in this context legitimate means are they accepted by European society as "real journalists." The fact that the European government funds them does indicate that they aren't viewed by society as random crackpot bloggers.

Yes, they're a legitimate news organization. They are partially funded by the EU government.

For additional context, tensions are already high surrounding the US ambassador after he directly insulted multiple Belgian politicians and also attempted to interfere with local criminal judicial proceedings.

The people in the fabs aren't PhDs, they're extremely skilled technicians. They may have a similar number of hours of experience/training as a PhD, but that training is in troubleshooting automation systems, not doing research.

>But perhaps this can be used in the instant coffee industry or something.

As stated in the article, the whole point is for use in ready-to-drink coffee manufacturing.

> But watch as Germany soon loses AI Google results.

That would be a boon for Germany in my book. If you wanted AI results you could go use an AI.

The problems with legs are sufficient that having two robots would be better than having one with legs. Here's why:

- You can increase the payload a lot

- You can increase the torso weight which means you can use cheaper, heavier components

- It won't fall down and hurt someone if it malfunctions

- It will never be in a position where it might fall down the stairs (if it were, it could kill someone)

- It will use less power/have a longer battery life
