> It would be absolutely incorrect to say that "all of the next generation will be offspring of the more variable subpopulation B1".

No, that's exactly correct. The example is set up so that no individual from B2 gets to mate with A. Therefore, the next generation only consists of offspring of B1. (I think you understand that, since you say "sex A is choosing most desirable mates who happened to be part of the subpopulation B1".) B1 is the more variable subpopulation. Therefore, the sentence "all of the next generation will be offspring of the more variable subpopulation B1" is correct.

I suspect you are interpreting it as making a statement about the subpopulation B11 (of the subpopulation B1) that actually gets to mate. But if you split B1 into the more desirable B11 and the less desirable B12, then you can't even talk about their variability relative to B2, because the paper only defines comparisons of variability for distributions with the same median.

So the sentence "all of the next generation will be offspring of the more variable subpopulation B11" is not only incorrect but meaningless. Although they seem to be talking about the same individuals (and "all of the next generation will be offspring of the subpopulation B11" is true) they are talking about different populations, and "more variable" can only be applied meaningfully to B1.

In terms of your fruit example, the correct translation would be "All fruit in Sack 2 came from Sack 1, which had high variability." without any implications about variability of Sack 2.

Heritability of variability is only introduced on page 6: " it will be assumed that the pace of evolution is negligible
compared to the pace of reproduction, so the two subpopulations remain distinct, with offspring distributed
the same way as the parent subpopulation". In other words, although three subpopulations B11, B12 and B2 can be clearly distinguished, only membership in B1 or B2 is actually heritable, with B11's offspring either in B11 or B12. If B2 ever got to reproduce, it would have B2 offspring, while B12 would produce B11 or B12. So although B12 never reproduces, it never dies out due to offspring of B11.

Of course the conditions in those examples are contrived and that makes the conclusions almost trivial (a caveat that is noted in the paper: "The precise formal definitions and assumptions made here are clearly not applicable in real-life
scenarios, and thus the contribution here is also merely a general theory intended to open the discussion
to further mathematical modeling and analysis") but it is certainly free from egregious and basic errors.

dd is also useful when working with initramfs files.

it took me a bit to discover that ubuntu's initramfs has cpu microcode prepended to it. if you try to cpio the initramfs directly it will only take out the microcode, spitting out something like "44 blocks extracted".

if you want to cut out only some part of a file, you can do something like:

dd if=./file.ext out=./cutout.ext bs=<blocksize> skip=n count=m

this will skim nblocksize bytes and then pull out mblocksize bytes.

in the case of an initramfs, you would just want to skip the initial microcode blocks. for me, it was:

dd if=/boot/initramfs.<ext> out=/tmp/initramfs.gz bs=512 skip=56

for the records, it turns out that ubuntu packs a lot of stuff in its initramfs, and playing with initramfs is quite a funny activity

Most modem/routers these days seem to support a 'guest' network. I'm sure you could set it up so the guest network runs WEP or whatever and your main network runs WPA3, and that way at least it's more secure for some of your devices.

Yes I think that is a fair comparison. Fabric allows a similar set of primitives.
There appears a conflict of interest for those platforms because they don't intend to act as de facto town squares... they are businesses, and arguably don't have an obligation to anything but profit, regardless of their popularity or ubiquity.

Despite this, their nature as "town squares" affects the market whether they want it to or not. If enough viewers disengage because of their their ruthless tactics, or change their behavior in ways that don't fit their algorithm, that creates a business case for more ethical behavior... which would probably be more compelling to them than an argument for preserving the social fabric or democracy.

"How can I remove the black error tiles?" – "You can't, at all. But in a few days we're going to restore functionality."

And they mean it. They haven't even made it so that a reload blacks out other tiles. No, they really want to make it utterly unusable, even with effort on the user's part.

So now the German OSM holds pretty much the same place in my heart as the German Wikimedia club.

The OSM Foundation needs to react harshly here. To think that I used StreetComplete just yesterday. That will certainly stop.

Anti SJW = anti authoritarian. Most of them that I'm aware of identify as classical liberals and libertarians though. Overlaps between them and the far right come from the "shared enemy" of the authoritarian left, and not having experience with right wing authoritarianism (which is much worse imo).

But it's really important to distinguish between people who are for radical freedom, and the real nazis, who usually want just the opposite, while using radical freedom narrative to get to power. Not doing that will make things just worse, where you get people wishing back the real nazis as punishment.

It's no surprise that many appear to be a part of the gaming or anime community, where the SJWs basically represent those parents or people seen as threat, who try to regulate and censor their hobby and lifestyle.
I know this might be shocking but you can make a website without a framework. In fact, it probably would have worked out better for this site as it has such a simple design. HTML plus a handful of custom CSS rules would have sufficed and it wouldn't lock you into any "limitations". This is not a hard problem, not even close.

Is everything you own EOLed? If your router is that old you’re probably open to security issues and definitely leaving performance on the floor.

For most people, I’m expecting primary devices (phones, laptops) to get updates along with newer routers (at least the higher end ones).

The big question is how common the practice of segregating old devices will be since it’s still easy to find things which don’t even do 5GHz and that includes a majority of TVs, Android devices, etc.

Why do you capitalise ‘VISA’? What do you think it’s an acronym for? It’s just an English word.
> By that logic

There's no logic in the conclusions you're reaching or the arguments you're using. It's very clear what "natural" means: the limits of what nature can achieve without artificial help. And while you could argue that an all natural human would live to be 70 not 80 years old I'm finding it hard to believe you can find a natural way for a human not to die or even to live to 150. Hence "natural". Is it clearer now? I think I only defined it for you 3 times so...

How many examples of individuals in nature that never die can you mention? You're giving me examples of "societies" and "spending money" to contradict my "natural" argument? Try to grasp the concept: all life on Earth has a natural cycle to maintain a balance between life created and life ended. All your examples are completely besides the point. They are NOT natural, they are human constructs. If you put bacteria in a Petri dish they will multiply and die (natural), they will not spend money on infrastructure (unnatural).

While we're doing unnatural things like saving a kid from dying at 5, we don't really change that balance in a significant way. It simply means a person doesn't have to try 10-15 times to get one successor. Queen Anne had at least 17-18 pregnancies [0]. Take a gander on how many survived infancy? One (1). Do you honestly think she would have had 18 children with modern medicine being able to save the first 2 or 3? Helping an individual get past infancy is not that unnatural. Kids and animals do it all the time. Now you tell me how many immortal people you know?

> In more civilised parts of world [...] death penalty is not allowed

And yet most of today's population lives in societies that allow it. And you still somehow believe that being banned from using artificial methods of prolonging your life past any human in history is like killing you. Do you also feel that anyone refusing to give up an organ for transplant is basically killing a patient? Is wearing a condom like killing a kid? This is the "logic" you used.

The "incentive" to explore the planets is the same as getting kicked out of your house by squatters is an incentive to find a better house. As long as not all people can use the life elixir and only the unfortunate get "incentivised" to go explore living in a cave on Mars I guess that argument flops.

The subjectivity here comes from the fact that you seem to make up arguments on the fly. You expect to get some magic explanation on a forum instead of reading a book. And you're willing to skew the definition of "logic" to death so you can claim "natural cycle of life" and "paying money for infrastructure" are in some unimaginable way in the same category of "natural things".

Offering humans immortality is a guarantee that you will create a few Gods (people that simply manage to accumulate so much power they are Gods) and a whole world of shadows.

>Awesome! Point me in the direction of the firmware upgrade portal for my 15-year-old wifi printers, computers, and game machines from companies that no longer exist.

Well, some people with OS/2, Atari STs, and VAX mainframes are not gonna get extended WiFi security either.

Those that have newer stuff and can afford to switch to new printers and everything after 10 or 15 years, can use it tho, and those would still be tons of users (and more going forward). We moved from old wifi standards anyway (or you don't use WAP2 either?).

For most people it's just their laptops and phones (which they change every few years), printer (which is easily replaceable since the ink replacements they have to do regularly cost more than the main unit (or close) anyway), and maybe some TV or media player unit.

I noticed this issue in myself... some 30 years ago when I was in middle school. I'd read something and just not really process the information. Or even worse, mix up facts or miss the point entirely.

And unfortunately, my solution has been to take notes or do something else to otherwise use/process the information. Alternatively, if I can listen to the information instead of read it, I can doodle while listening and that seems to work as well.

And to be clear on notes: They don't need to be comprehensive, just notes. With some subjects (ones I find dry and boring) it also helps to summarize every so often.

I'll also point out that I know I have a limit to how much of the same subject I can take in per day. I do much better if I take actual breaks, make sure I sleep, and then do stuff again the next day. I will take entire days or weekends off and occasionally take an actual vacation from whatever subject I'm learning. I think this is why I'm likely to remember what I read on the toilet: I read a bit, take a break and think about it, and then read a bit later on.
Cisco Wireless Lan Controller came with a certificate so the access points knew they were connecting to a real Cisco device. It had an expiry date of 10 years.

I guess I don't see how having to visit openstreetmap.org or any other site instead of .de if you want to look at a map for a few days is a "kick in the shins", especially since "providing a map viewing website" is not the goal of the OpenStreetMap orgs, neither the Foundation nor the local chapters. (one certainly can argue if maybe they should do have that goal, but they explicitly don't, regularly repeated when people suggest adding end-user features to the site)

They represent OSM in Germany, they think it's in OSM's best interest to draw attention to this issue, they do so on their own website, leaving all tile servers etc alone. I can see being momentarily annoyed at it, I can see disagreeing with them (politically or if that's a useful protest form), but I don't see anything that would count as a gross violation of trust or something that's out of scope for a local chapter to do.

Crash logging is extremely useful for catching edge cases or third party failures so I wouldn’t give that up but there’s no reason why it can’t involve the user with a Firefox-style “is it okay to report this? Here’s what gets sent…” prompt and aggressive data scrubbing.

Sentry does a really nice job of restricting the data which is stored, for how long, and scrubbing things which might have been included by mistake. I was just setting up an on-premise server yesterday and it’s pretty easy to configure it server-wide in a privacy-preserving manner.

Right...very few people seem able to differentiate "radical" views with views they merely oppose.

What does "radical" even mean? Opinions that are not part of the present consensus? How is society supposed to evolve?

As has been pointed out, in lots of areas a "balanced" view doesn't make sense. I'm reminded of the judgement of Solomon dictating that, to settle a dispute between two women as to whom a baby belonged to, it should be cut in half and they be given half each. For a lot of social issues, being given the midpoint solution is like being given half a baby.

"All humans are created equal and endowed with rights" is a radical proposition which we are still working out all the implications of after several hundred years; any deviation from that (ie "some humans are intrinsically (not as a result of their actions) inferior") starts you down the road of partitioning society and justifying worse and worse treatment of those deemed inferior.

I don't know how much I really believe this. Could this be a case of false correlation, as opposed to causation? Most medical advice for dealing with pain tells you to distract yourself from the pain, and certainly not to focus on it.
