The most respondents cited high inflation (54%), Social Security not providing as much financial support as they need (43%), and high taxes (43%). Boomers (61%) were more likely than millennials (56%) or Gen Xers (55%) to say high inflation contributed to their fear of running out of money.
But this fear is more prominent among Gen Xers (70%) who are in their 40s and 50s and fast approaching retirement and millennials (66%) than boomers (61%) who are over 60 and many have already retired.
Asian/Asian American respondents (34%) were more likely to have discussed this fear than white (22%), Black/African American (28%), and Hispanic (25%) respondents.
Interestingly no mention of Gen Z, who I guess is just starting their careers so might be why?
Though I'd imagine the doom and gloom is just as high for Gen Z if not more.
There's a threshold to that, otherwise climate change would've been solved. But since it only affects a bit of agriculture and fishing, they just raise prices and continue with the same.
If he is found guilty does not mean he is guilty. That's the problem with the death penalty. You can release someone if future evidence disproves the conviction. You can't bring someone back to life if you give them the death penalty.
Working there right now. I was originally going to work in cali but due to circumstances ended up here instead... Same company, different team, 30% pay cut pretax.
No state tax, but sales tax is 10+%, and groceries here are slightly higher than cali. Rent and utilities are the exact same as when I was in LA. A 1bd goes for 1300 for a shitty studio with only 200sqft, no stovetop + only a minifridge. The next jump is an actual 1bd but at 1.6k. I got lucky and found a 2bd for 2.5k which im splitting with a roommate, but that's not normally the case.
I looked at house prices and they're at 1.2m for most. Which is the same average prices I seen for both norcal and socal.
I mean the theory behind an LLM is super cool. It's a bunch of vector math under the hood, transforming input with queries, keys and values. And imo vector math is one of the coolest and also most confusing math applications there is. If they're able to use mcp as well, you can delegate it to calling actual services, like your database.
But like 99% of CS research, research does not always equate to practical use, nor is it a cookie cutter solution for everything. Unfortunately, the business people seem to think otherwise.
Venus fly traps evolved in this specific manner as a result of their environment. They are native to nutrient deficient bogs. They can still perform photosynthesis to create sugars, but that's just one of many things they need. Cellular activities require things like nitrogen, phosphorus, and some trace elements which are not present in the soil they live in. Venus fly traps get around this by digesting insects for these nutrients. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the nutrients to sustain cell growth and maintenance.
The fact that they evolved like this also means that they aren't evolved to live in nutrient rich soil. All venus fly traps guide say to not put them in regular soil for good reason. Plants don't understand overnutrition, which means that their roots try to take whatever they can. Excessive nutrients usually end up causing death as the chemical imbalance messes up with cellular activities. Venus fly traps are just much more sensitive to this than other plants.
Technically, brine just means a high concentration of salt in a fluid. It doesn't necessarily have to be sodium chloride like we know, it can be other salts, like calcium chloride. Though the most common case for industrial brine is just desalination plants, other industries can still create brine, like mining/oil drilling. It also depends on how it's released. Large amounts dumped at once is the reason for manmade brine pools.
I genuinely can't believe they took away the microsd slot from modern phones
I even pre bought a card before getting my new phone because I just assumed it'd have the slot. Should've done more research i guess
