If the key is managed by the OS but is inaccessible to the user, the concept would seem to be incompatible with free software operating systems. Also, if the camera app can have anything it "makes" approved, the app itself could take a deepfake video (from the web or device storage) and have the OS sign it.

The only way I see it working is if the key is "burnt-in" to in the camera hardware and any applications cannot MitM it.
It’s a breach of contract, and it’s wrong. However, when Qualcomm sells its tech, it should factor in this counterparty risk and decide if it is still worth it.

I’m not defending this kind of inexcusable behavior; I’m just suggesting free trade means Qualcomm or any private business can make its own decision.
Or maybe you and I should just go to bed at 7pm to match the circadian rhythm of the elderly? Circadian rhythm changes based on age, that much seems to be biological fact.
Matthew Walker, PhD in his book "Why We Sleep" discussed sleep cycles and their variances from one person to the next. Specifically, during his discussion of circadian rhythm in chapter 2. From page 22: "As a social species, should we not all be synchronized and therefore awake at the same time to promote maximal human interactions? Perhaps not. As we'll discover later in this book, humans likely evolved to co-sleep as families or even whole tribes, not alone or as couples. Appreciating this evolutionary context, the benefits of such genetically programmed variation in sleep/wake timing preferences can be understood. The night owls in the group would not be going to sleep until one or two a.m., and not waking until nine or ten. [...] Consequently the group as a whole is only collectively vulnerable."

He discussed varying sleep cycles across individuals. Specifically, he suggested society needs to be more inclusive of different sleep patterns and needs. Instead, society rewards people who naturally wake early in the morning at the cost of "night owls". All in the same area of the book.

You're welcome to research and earn your own PhD in neurology and author your own book on sleep patterns, but I'll stick with Dr Walker's work.

For some reason I was expecting Herbie Hancock, even though I knew the album came out later. Tangental, but that album lived up to the name. It was the 1st to feature record scratching, and an early mastery of digital sampling.

This is a classic that I think should be shown in schools. And as much as I abhor remakes, its time may be coming however. I just hope it can capture some of the magic. The Cosmos continuation with Tyson is great, but it just doesnt capture the joyous wonder for me that Sagan's did. I feel this film would lose much of the awesome but sinister undertone without Welles.

> 95% of generative art is fridge art

Sounds right in line with the rest of art. 95% of all art is fridge art. Do you have any sub-genres in mind that somehow have naturally higher quality ratios, can you share some examples?

More importantly, is the art posted in this article fridge art? Personally, I’m less interested in generic blanket statements not specific to the article at hand, and more interested in what people might have to say about the article that was posted, about Mike Bostock’s work, for example.

> So no - it’s not interesting art

What makes art “interesting”? What requirement is there to be interesting, who said it was supposed to be interesting in this thread or elsewhere? Who determines whether it’s interesting? Are you saying that if something is uninteresting, then it’s not art?

> It’s an excuse to play with algorithms

What’s wrong with having an excuse to draw if I like playing with pencil & paper? Why is having an excuse to play with algorithms bad?

Could you provide some examples of what you’re talking about? What’s “original” about painting or sculpting or dancing? What’s psychological or perceptually abstract about Rembrandt or Vermeer? Isn’t generative art natually more abstract than realist paintings?

In your world where art must be interesting, and not done for the sake of technique, and insightful, and abstract, and original, what is the role of art education?

I can’t tell for sure, since I was too young back then and didn’t write something complex enough, but I suspect that compilers were not evil genies back then. It was probably later gcc who first used UB as an excuse to evil optimizations.

I also don’t understand a reason behind dragging all that legacy into current standards. Does a real application of it make at least 0.1% of all usage? You cannot even buy a chip that implements segments, tagged pointers, etc etc. at least they could make a special mode where you can span across symbol whatever it means or see a pointer as a cpu sees it.

All this can be solved with simple ptr_untag(p), ptr_span(expr) and similar constructs, but instead we have resort to outsmarting the specific compiler logic or introducing ourself with complicated type systems. That went insane. Personally I just want my bytes in linear address space and a way to tell which bytes point to which and which do not. I liked asm and then C, they were two of my first three languages, but what C became today is just a horrible mess.

You really aren't supposed to, though.

Wikipedia is an awesome tool. It will provide generally useful, broadly accurate, basic information on most topics. But accuracy and freedom from bias isn't guaranteed. Anything highly technical can suffer from inaccuracy. Anything political will generally not be bias free (not least because it's essentially impossible to construct a concept of "objective truth" or "neutrality" in any remotely political topic).

It's still a useful starting point for basically any research. If you subsequently need to rely on those facts – you'll need to do more research. And I think that's okay.
They’d need a lot of world class educations, low cost of living, and plenty of risk capital. They may capture the first, but less for the rest.

You've misunderstood Dawkins.

You can still get completely unselfish individual traits out of selfish gene selection (like the entire chapter on runt gene selection). It looks like group selection, Dawkins only argues that the mechanism is selfish genes.

Even he seems to have forgotten he wrote about that though.
This bothers me too. Knowing the sleep requirements of teenagers and how much I actually got, and knowing the effects of sleep deprivation on cognition and growth, I can only imagine that I’d be smarter and taller with proper sleep (and better nutrition) while growing up.

Correct. Think control/data registers in some dedicated chip.

I first heard of the stomach/brain connection to migraines from my neurologist. She described it as a lesser understood area of neurology.

Having said that, I know all too well how unhelpful the wrong doctors can be for an issue. When I had my first round of cluster migraines I was treated as having a very bad sinus infection, for months. I’m lucky I made it through that semester in college.
Yes, this is my fault. Sorry about that. Thanks to 'beefman for catching the wrong link, as well.
The length of the day is increasing roughly linearly at roughly 2 ms (per day) per century, because of tidal effects. The difference between TAI and UT1 is the integral of that, so grows quadratically. If we assume that the mean solar day was "correct" around 1900, then a hypothetical atomic clock that was synchronised to the sun around 1900 is, after x centuries, out by about 36525.x^2 ms. TAI was in fact synchronised to UTC around 1960, when atomic clocks were widely used, and the slowing down of the Earth's rotation is rather unpredictable in the short term (decades), perhaps being affected by climate change, so the numbers are all imprecise, but the long-term (centuries, millennia) quadratic growth of the TAI-UT1 difference is inevitable.
What Is Public Key Cryptography?
The 'answer' may be here that it's simply best to acknowledge that we cannot realistically study some, and arguably many, things. I expect your response would be that at least trying to do the best with the resources we have is better than remaining blissfully ignorant. But the problem is that coming to wrong conclusions far more dangerous than simply acknowledging we do not yet have the resources to come to any conclusion. And science is built upon the shoulder of giants. But what happens when the shoulders you've built upon collapse? One mistake decades ago can end up destroying decades of further work that was built upon it.

Science is never 100% on practically anything. Even in physics there are keystone works that are mutually incompatible indicating errors in one or both. But there is a difference between models that are based on predictiveness, direct experimentation, and falsifiability - and models that are based on correlation. Newtonian mechanics is a good example. The equations that determine a body's position given a set of inputs and time could be shown to be 100% correct in every single scenario. Well at least until Mercury came along with it's 1/100degree per century orbital aberration. And that 1/100th aberration per century of a single body was enough to inform that something was wrong. With correlational studies, actual results don't really matter and entire views become practically impossible to falsify. And when they do provide predictions, rarely is it the case that the failure of that prediction to come true would falsify the study. That's just not science by any stretch of the imagination. It is the difference between astronomy and astrology.
Any language they learn now may not be around for decade. More “modern” languages are still not as in demand as the “old” languages.

My suggestion?

- C not “C/C++”. C teaches you the fundamentals of how computers work on the lower levels. You can go your whole career without ever knowing C but it should be foundational to understanding how other languages work under the hood.

- C# - I wouldn’t bother teaching it. This is coming from someone who loves .Net. C# is tied to tightly to Microsoft and even though .Net Core is great and cross platform, it still doesn’t seem popular outside of large enterprise type companies. It’s definitely not what the cool, hipster, startup kids are using.

- Java. I hate Java with a passion but, it’s still popular with the enterprise, it’s a mostly pure OOP language and it’s a good teaching language. Besides, it’s used on the most popular mobile platform (Android).

- JavaScript. Again, not my personal preference, but JS isn’t going anywhere because it’s on the browser and it’s the most versatile. It can be used on the browser, server, desktop apps, and mobile. If you teach JS deeply, you also get into protypical inheritance and a different paradigm than classic OOP.

>I used to need 9.5 hours of sleep as a teenager

Did you try going to sleep earlier? Who said you couldn't have 9.5 hours of sleep?

The other thing you probably would have benefitted from is an afternoon nap (if you were unwilling to go to bed a 9pm).

To blame others (those evil 55 year old early risers) is to deflect your own accountability.

By the way, I was an early riser in high-schools and I preferred to get out at 3:30 rather than 5. Im sure teachers would prefer to be out earlier to be with their families (or to run extracurriculars). There is
no solution that fits everyone so adjustments need to be made by eveybody.

The numbers are there, the BFR lifting force is almost double Saturn V and the total mass that BFR is bringing in orbit is double the one that Saturn V brought in orbit.

I am quite familiar with techno culture and this piece is extremely misrepresentative. Reads like a promo piece from the artist's clueless PR agent. Maybe the Detroit scene sees things like this (I am from Europe), but no, techno is definitely not "a combination of technology and funk" or "a term to describe and introduce all kinds of electronic music". Nobody familiar with the scene would refer to drum and bass, dubstep or trance as "techno". I am genuinely surprised both how this can come from an apparently significant record label and how an empty promo piece like this appears in Wired.

On the note of techno culture, B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West-Berlin[0] is a great documentary/autobiography on the emergence of Berlin techno culture and the Berlin Wall.

The link to Science in the article has a much more precise description of what was found:

The anatomist Friedrich S. Merkel predicted in 1880 that sensory systems are composed of epithelial cells and sensory nerves, which together transform environmental cues into neural signals that trigger our rich sensory experiences (1). We now know that this hypothesis mostly holds true for the canonical senses of vision, hearing, taste, and touch. Perhaps surprisingly, the peripheral outposts of these classical sensory systems (eyes, ears, tongue, and skin) are dwarfed by the human body's largest sensory organ—the gut. Enteroendocrine cells, which are rare epithelial cells that decorate the gut lining, have long been suspected to be sensory receptor cells that inform the brain about ingested nutrients (2). Since their description, these cells were assumed to play a role in metabolism and gut physiology by releasing slow-acting peptide hormones that stimulate neurons throughout the gut and in the brain. On page 1219 of this issue, Kaelberer et al. (3) challenge this view by demonstrating that gut enteroendocrine cells locally excite sensory nerves through release of the neurotransmitter glutamate. A recent study of enterochromaffin cells, a subset of enteroendocrine cells, also found that gut signals are transmitted at epithelial-neural synapses through release of the neurotransmitter serotonin (4). Together, these findings overturn a decades-old dogma that enteroendocrine cells signal exclusively through hormones.

http://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6408/1203

What's new here appears to be the finding that the small molecules serotonin and glutamate are acting as neurotransmitters in the Enteroendocrine system, in addition to the peptide hormones that had originally been known.

The brain tends to use small molecule neurotransmitters rather than peptide hormones to signal. So the finding, AFAICT, appears to link the brain and gut even more chemically close together than had originally been thought.

Ha, I can't believe that Herbalife not only still exists but that if I look at its share price it even flourished, got into sponsoring, etc... - I know about the company because looong time back it did a push as well here in Switzerland, but as at that time I tagged it as "scam" I supposed that it would soon or later disappear... .
Very interesting to be reminded about how "multi-level marketing"/"pyramid selling" works and very nice that by showing what that Ackman guy did I now understand as well e.g. all these recent discussions related to "short sellers" vs Tesla (I wasn't fully aware that "short selling" could be done in such an active way - I thought that some regulator would start targeting you...).

- The China Hustle (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7215388/?ref_=nv_sr_1)

Very interesting. I never heard about "reverse merges". Additionally I tended to think that e.g. the SEC and/or other regulators not only establish rules and react when they're not followed but actively check the truthfulness of the statements/informations beforehand, but it does not seem to be working that way (I can understand the reasons, but on the other hand this kind of defeats the reason of having such rules...).
Btw a few weeks ago I stumbled upon some videos of this guy (e.g. "Why I refuse to buy property in China" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lAoTBVTTO8 ), which explain a bit how chinese people think and some of them are related to what is mentioned briefly in the documentary about the chinese housing bubble.

This one in particular argues:

(1) willingness to perform unpleasant tasks is contingent upon identification with collective goals and
(2) leaders cultivate identification with those goals by making them seem virtuous rather than vicious and thereby ameliorating the stress that achieving them entails.

Quite interesting perspective on leadership. I suspect it's a bit of both.

However, from your first link:

"But many psychologists argue that even with methodological holes and moral lapses, the basic finding of Milgram’s work, the rate of obedience, still holds up. "

Doesn't seem thoroughly discredited to me.
