In statistics we call it "conditional independence", attachment style is independent from maternal relationship if we know childhood friendship outcomes.

yep the book statistical rethinking puts it that way too.

I think sequel kids, more than anything, benefit from having a trailblazer to refer to. It's no doubt true that parents get better at the job, but kids learn from demonstration. Older sibling is hypersensitive and has a hard time keeping friends around -> I better learn to swallow my pride. That kind of thing.

Sounding in this usage is far, far older than the sounding you're talking about.

They're actually really simple? Two wedge-shaped brake shoes that cam into the inner diameter of the wheel.

More not easy to servicd if they seized and you can disassemble half the car to get to all the cables and so on

You can almost always pop the cable (if you have to) and hit the rotor with a hammer, or use a puller.

If that doesn't work you hit it with a hammer from the other side until the parking brake shoes pop out of the pins and come off with the rotor.

Sorry but this is legitimately a terrible way to encode this data. The number 0.8 is encoded as base64 encoded ascii decimals. The bits 1 and 0 similarly. URLs should not be long for many reasons, like sharing and preventing them from being cut off.

The “cut off” thing is generally legacy thinking, the web has moved on and you can reliably put a lot of data in the URI… https://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maxim...

Links with lots of data in them are really annoying to share. I see the value in storing some state there, but I don’t think there is room for much of it.

What makes them annoying to share? I bet it's more an issue with the UX of whatever app or website you're sharing the link in. Take that stackoverflow link in the comment you're replying to, for example: you can see the domain and most of the path, but HN elides link text after a certain length because it's superfluous.

SO links require just the question ID; short enough to memorize.

Sure, but the SO link was just an example. HN does it with any link, like this one which is 1000 characters long:

https://example.com/some/path?foo=bar&baz=bat&foo=bar&baz=ba...

If the website or app has a good UX for displaying/sharing URLs, the length doesn't really matter.

Uh, this is a strange thing to ask, but have you seen birds fly? It is most certainly not vertical take off (or landing.)

It doesn't sound strange at all. Good question.

hummingbirds would seem to be the exception tho

Have you tried actually writing an article with it? I had very limited success. And since nobody is using it really, you're kind of on your own.

Nah, just work documents (built in CI), resume, legal documents, ad-hoc documents. Publishing is not really in my purview.

Happy to stop on the panorama level, 48 levels? Jesus!

Anthropic is pretty clearly using the Häagen-Dasz approach here, call yourself Anthropic and your product Claude so you seem French. Why?

According to Claude, it’s named after Claude Shannon, who was American.

But it might also be the albino alligator in the California Academy of Sciences in SF.

Hah, it was indeed the Claude name that had me confused :D

Macs these days wake up regularly as I understand it. My MacBook's battery discharges decently fast even when the lid is shut
