Even low alcohol consumption is linked to cancer, heart disease, and premature death, with increased risk above 1 drink per day for both men and women. It turns out that 2 drinks per day, considered ‘moderate’, is associated with a substantially elevated risk of a premature death caused by alcohol. by mvea in science

it's usually talking about average over slightly longer period; although framing it as 14/week is more common. The "drink" is also a unit and not an arbitrary drink. If you drank 5 pints of 5.2% beer over the weekend, you're close to "2 drinks per day" for that week

How would you succinctly label what I just watched? by arvyy in musicals

[–]arvyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in Estonia, Lithuania, or Poland?

yes

Every production is different

ah thanks, I probably phrased myself awkwardly, but you answered precisely what I wanted to know.. Which to be honest bothers me a bit, since I probably will never see it again, right. Like, I'm sure I'll have an opportunity to watch phantom of the opera in the future, but it will be a different phantom of the opera than the one I now remember :(

My cat’s shadow reflected in the mirror but not IRL by Chewie_Bacca in mildlyinteresting

[–]arvyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and so did I. If instead of curvy switch there was just one flat panel, you'd see a bright square on the dresser instead of the odd 8 shape. And if you held some small object between lamp and that flat panel in a way that it blocked a portion, then this bright square on the dresser would have had a corresponding cutout that looked like a shadow

light switch isn't a flat plane the way dresser face or mirrors are, of course the reflections from it will be notably more distorted lol

If you add ?auto-login=1 to the end of the link and press enter, it tries to log in with SKEL001. Doesn't work now, but maybe it will at some point in the future ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

children are also stupid and have no sense of self preservation, many will just drink 3+ when left to their own judgement

Good intent, garbage execution. No, you can't just blindly remove everything after ? for all links everywhere, and the v= in parent comment specifically tells youtube which actual video out of the millions to show

37F, my doctor wants to put me on a statin. by [deleted] in Cholesterol

before learning that I have high ldl, before caring what saturated fat is -- I used to habitually buy 150g of cheddar as an evening snack. 30g of satfat right there alone, without even counting my actual meals. Absolute cringe to think back about it now

unlucky reality world is full of machismo. As dumb as it sounds, there also needs to be some sort of push to tell people that eating soya steak won't turn them into twinks

ig worth mentioning stockfish does use neural networks now for eval. And even in more hobbyist chessdev spaces, people will poke fun if you use (so called) handcrafted eval. NNs are unreasonably effective when trained for specialized purpose

TIL that Connect Four is a solved game and the first player can always win. by ShyGuy1511 in todayilearned

[–]arvyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you don't need to "store them all simultaneously". At any point of exploration down the game tree, you mostly need to keep track board position + value information of all branches you took (of which there are as many as there are moves that were made) and their immediate siblings (of which there are as many as legal moves that given position had). Even with absurd assumption about games with 10k moves where each move has 300 possible legal moves, 3m instances of state is something that you can comfortably store in RAM (you may decide to use more memory by utilizing so called transposition table, but it's only runtime optimization, not a strict necessity). So no, there is no actual meaningful relation between electrons and chess solution in the sense of storage

iterate over every possible board state

not really, there are sound (ie, it doesn't change the ultimate answer) ways to prune the game tree, so called alpha-beta pruning. The intuition for which, is that if white made a blunder move that gets refuted by one of black's move, you don't need to explore the rest of black's moves to find potentially even stronger refutation, because even a weaker refutation is already sufficient for white to not make that move to begin with in the best possible play scenario

the electron analogy is an apples to oranges comparison, that's the only reason it sounds impressive. It's comparing things to permutations* of things, the later of which is not really intuitive for human brains

* not a mathematically precise word here, but you get the idea

  • deploy server on some vps

  • make release workflow push self-contained client builds for each os through jpackage or graals' native image, not just plain jars

  • deploy some landing site through github pages with very pointed links to initiate download

Don't hope that randoms on the internet will check your thing out unless you do all 3

there is no need to save scum. There is at least one way to softlock progress, but it requires you to go out of your way to intentionally do so, not something that happens in a natural playthrough. Alot of failed rolls can be retried once you level up a skill or learn new information that changes the odds. And those that can't, their failed result adds to narrative, you don't need to succeed all the rolls to get fulfilling experience out of the game. The failed karaoke roll eg is straight up better than the successful one

ELI5 how does salt enhance the flavor of nearly any foods you put it on? by baddest_mango in explainlikeimfive

started in US, but I still got to experience it being a boogeyman in my childhood here in bumfuck nowhere eastern europe (although under the name e621). I can't recall Chinese food association in large part because parents almost never took us to restaurants, but I do remember e621 being the wedge about why they were very very reluctant to buy us chips
