Well, the one time I know I ran into it there was no pushing from me. I knew long-dormant malaria had decided to cease being dormant (the cyclic nature of the symptoms is a dead giveaway to anyone who has encountered it) the doc agreed with my assessment although he felt my symptoms were mild (which wasn't a surprise to me, my initial infection had been mild, also.) He looked up the right drugs (when and where you were infected say what drugs to use) and wrote the script--but also ordered a lab test to confirm.

The drugs stopped my symptoms in their tracks, a clear confirmation they were right and that before the lab could have replied even if they had done their job correctly. They had nobody trained to do it, though, and substituted a basically useless test instead. A week later the doc gets the results and that was the only time I ever heard him curse (this was also my wife's employer, I saw a lot more of him than a patient would.) If he had a microscope he could have done the proper test in 10 minutes (He worked with Doctors Without Borders and thus had more clinical experience with malaria than a specialist would.) $200 down the drain because he felt the need to CYA. It should have been try the drugs first and if they don't work then you investigate.
The deeper reason is that we don't need to reprocess spent fuel now, and that it's cheaper to wait.

The fission products are mostly gone in centuries, but the actinides persist for much longer.
Nation-states cannot, in my mind, be compared to individuals when it comes to propensity for aggression. The vast majority of individuals, in, say the U.S. are not armed, whereas the majority of nation-states have a military. Furthermore, the countries that are in proximity to "aggressive" states either have a strong military e.g. Israel, or have military presence from other countries with strong militaries e.g. South Korea.

Also, the distances between different countries vs the spread of information is also vastly different. It is harder to commit an international act of violence with no witnesses than it is an interpersonal one, and the threat of retaliation keeps violence at bay, for the most part at least.

Those are all considered in the lifecycle emissions calculations done by folks like the IPCC, who released these data [1]. It considers mining, construction, transportation, waste, etc. of all energy sources so they can be compared for energy policy purposes.

That's great, but can you now demonstrate the same with Qt and KDE, as you claimed above?

FWIW, I believe (but could very well be wrong) the reason that this works this well with MUSL is that every function is defined in its own translation unit. I doubt that Qt and KDE do that.

Where did you get the idea that anyone was suggesting rejection of technology?

The idea that all technology is 100% beneficial for all people with zero downsides is just as ridiculous.

There is a third path, which has some nuance; if you're wearing tunnel-vision blinders you might not see it.
Almost certainly something like "Real-time Sound Source Separation: Azimuth Discrimination and Resynthesis" (Barry et al, https://arrow.dit.ie/argcon/35/)

This is a more sophisticated generalisation of the idea of inverting one channel and averaging in order to isolate the centre-panned vocal (or remove it for karaoke purposes).

It works well with mixes in which stereo placement is entirely by pan pot, adjusting the left/right volume levels of each instrument individually in order to place it on the stereo image. It doesn't work so well with real room recordings, where stereo placement is determined also by timing information (read e.g. https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_stereophonicsound.php)

This is a better-specified problem than monoaural source separation, which I think is what the original article here is about.
> No one was sending you encrypted emails anyway

Guess what! Since I moved to Germany (from the Netherlands), I noticed that people send a lot of encrypted mail. Not random Germans, sure, but where in the Netherlands the security and broader hacker community was hard to convince, in Germany it's quite widespread. My colleagues (security firm) and friendly security firms (when we collaborate) expect nothing less, and even customers supporting it is not rare (it was very rare (like, one customer in dozens) when I worked in NL).

It depends on your peers whether you find PGP is usable or not, it seems.

Then again, in Germany quite a few websites used OpenStreetMap before it was cool^W^W google raised their prices, and Linux is also more widespread. I wonder what it's caused by and how we can encourage it, since I think we (HN) would generally consider those things to be good, at least for fellow hackers, even if the tech has some edges too rough for the general population.

I’ve always wondered how some people manage to get their engagement rates so high. Like 20-25% of followers liking their posts, some with 50-60k followers. Or sometimes it’s a similar percentage but a normal persons account with 300-1000 followers. I guess some people are just ultra-popular, and IG is the equivalent of the high school lunchroom.

FWIW I had 300 followers or so but rarely managed to even get 10% of likes. Usually like 3% ha-ha.
Well, =org-mode= in itself is quite complete when it comes to beamer. The only thing that it lacks is having an IDE which has Emacs editor on the right, with synctex running in the bckground. Tbh, I don't see it that helpful compared to the engineering that needs to be stitched together.

What seems to be going on in (A) is a kind of inside-out reduction. The inner lambda term has been replaced by the placeholder __LAMB_0, and so now it is impossible to substitute y into it. Substitution simply has has to go outside in.

We consider the call{{{lambda {y} {lambda {x} {x y}}} arg}, and so the text arg is identified with y. The job is then to substitute y <- arg in the interior of the outer lambda: {lambda {y} <interior ...>}.

That interior happens to be {lambda {x} {x y}}. So we need a recursive walk procedure which performs that substitution. The procedure has a list of bindings which contains {y -> arg} which it passes down. The procedure has to recognize your special forms like lambda and let so that it handles variable shadowing. Our y = arg could be shadowed by some inner y.

Once we have done the substitution, then we can convert the substituted lambda to _LAMB_0. So we have:

1: input:
{{lambda {y} {lambda {x} {x y}}} arg}

2: lambda is identified, and encode dinto a _LAM term:
{_LAMB_0 arg} where _LAMB_0 is {lambda {y} {lambda {x} {x y}}}

3: lambda term is called, with arg:
this simply substitution y = arg into its body and then producing the
substituted body:

{lambda {x} {x y}} -> {lambda {x} {x arg}}

4. lambda call returns this:
{lambda {x} {x arg}}

5. This converts to the _LAMB_* term:
_LAMB_1

There is no captured environment in the inner lambda because the text is fully substituted; we have removed the variable y. The __LAM_1 string is effectively a closure. Closures don't require external environments if we are working with strings, which are copied and pasted in place. Environments are required when the expressions contain unsubstituted variables.

Alternatively to the above evaluation strategy, we could identify and convert all LAM terms upfront:

1: input:
{{lambda {y} {lambda {x} {x y}}} arg}

2: all lambdas are recursively identified:

{__LAMB_0 arg}, where ...
_LAMB_0 = {lambda {y} _LAMB_1}, where ...
_LAMB_1 = {lambda {x} {x y}}

3: arg is applied to _LAMB_0:
_LAMB_0: equates "y" with "arg" and processes the body, which consists of _LAMB_1:
the result is:
{lambda {x} {x arg}}
RULE: when a _LAMB term undergoes substitution, it produces a new _LAMB term.

4: Thus {_LAMB_0 arg} reduces to _LAMB_2, which denotes {lambda {x} {x arg}}.

> Spectre v1 (bounds check bypass) only works inside processes

I don't think this is true. If it is, why did Linux add speculation barriers to bounds checks in the kernel?

I was in a discussion of this last week on another thread - see my previous comments for why I think spectre v1 has impact across processes.

Just wanted to thank you for doing a deep dive into this with all your comments. This certainly changes equation and potential payout of their perhaps oversimplified messaging of simply getting 3-5x returns, but not knowing that the founder is in a gridlock situation if it makes sense for them to raise more money. I can understand how if a business required more money just to sustain business and keep it alive, then converting to equity makes more sense for additional perceived risk that more money was required to sustain, however it's odd that that mechanism would also then more act as a penalty for the more successful businesses - and definitely is turn off.

3-5x return cap sounded super refreshing - and almost like a dream come true, however assuming they're good judge of characters and select well, then I could see them pulling off a very successful investment protocol. I may still contact them to see what their intentions are and what expectations/agreement may be possible.
Yes, fully aware of it. I'm actually working out of an incubator that's part of another tax incentive program (START-UP NY https://esd.ny.gov/startup-ny-program) and am not against most economic development programs.
Centuries? Have you been to the Chernobyl exclusion zone recently? [1] That was the worst accident imaginable. Fukushima is much less bad. Natural background radiation in places like Ramsar, Iran are way higher than what you'd experience at Fukushima even right after it happened. And people have been living healthily there for hundreds of years. Low-dose effects of radiation seem to not be all that bad.

23 years of post-doc with 5 first-authors? That's really all you need to know: that's a terrible publication record for someone looking at tenure-track.

A decent target is an average of one first/last author paper a year. Two one year and zero the next isn't a problem, but one every five years certainly is. This doesn't even get into the 'careerism' of picking safe but dependable projects; anyone making reasonable choices about what to investigate and how to go about it can hit that kind of rate. It takes a lot of work, but that's very much the state of the field.

This guy isn't a PI.

He's not leading a research group, nor does it seem like he's all that interested in doing so. It sounds like he's interested in performing research in someone's lab, a staff scientist.

There's nothing wrong that; it would be quite nice if there were more long-term career opportunities for people like this. They tend to be the people that develop the highest skill in actually performing experiments. They are useful, not just for their own productivity, but for the expertise and continuity they can bring to a lab. They are incredibly valuable for graduate student mentorship. They occupy a wonderful space that is otherwise vacant due to the demands placed on other lab members.

Generally only larger labs can afford such positions, and the competition of cheap post-doc labor means that many are stuck in eternal post-docs where they are underpaid, underappreciated, and given inappropriate expectations.

Without them, "the opposition" would likely be living in a city without Yankee Stadium or Barclays Arena, with a huge hole in the ground in Lower Manhattan, no High Line, a dilapidated Central Park, and most importantly, a whole bunch of their employers having waved bye-bye in the 1990s-2000s. Come to think of it, lots of "the opposition" would never have even moved to NYC had their job been located in Charlotte, or Kansas City, or Connecticut.

It's easy to look at New York City today and just assume its always been a clean, safe, prosperous megalopolis with strong business activity, and therefore it always will be. However, that perspective would be very wrong.
You should watch this documentary on Chernobyl:

>According to Vyacheslav Grishin of the Chernobyl Union, the main organization of liquidators, "25,000 of the Russian liquidators are dead and 70,000 disabled, about the same in Ukraine, and 10,000 dead in Belarus and 25,000 disabled", which makes a total of 60,000 dead (10% of the 600,000 liquidators)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_liquidators

They had guys running in and throwing lead bricks - and some of the scientists died by giving their life to get in and take video of the meltdown.

These guys knew they were doomed.

But they had freaking reportedly 700,000 men attack that problem.
Looks an awful lot like old fashioned aspx pages. They're the bane of my existence. The syntax looks a lot nicer and there isn't the odd CodeBehind shenanigans so maybe it's better to work with.
The credit-card model is spinning out of control. I have a good income and decent credit. So I have a credit card that gives me 2-3% cash back on everything, low or zero fees, and tons of other bonus perks (various kinds of insurance, airport lounges, whatever).

So I should be excited right? Well, not really. The 2% cash back barely makes up for the 2% that MC/Visa take out of the middle in the first place! So the goods I buy cost more than they should and I get a "kickback" on the backend.

And if you're someone without access to great cards, then you still pay the same price in stores but you get no cash back, high APR, low credit limits, and crazy late fees.

It's regressive taxation.
Your description implies the existence of another mitigation. Namely: When you enter untrusted code you mprotect() all sensitive areas and remove PROT_READ. When exiting the untrusted code you add the permissions back.

Are you sure that works? As I understand it, the issue with Spectre is the branch predictor, not the memory mappings. The reason why process isolation works is that branch prediction gets reset on context switch (or that this will happen on newer generations of hardware in the future).
This has happened to me here and there on various aggregators over the years, and every time I get the goosebumps, and ride it out without fully reading the headline all the way, letting myself imagine, think "yeah, this is probably how I'd find out about it!"

To me it would feel like discovering magic, or the existence of latent psychic abilities in humans. A reality shattering event.

I do. Technically I have a stash (maybe 100+) of the thin-foam cups and lids to go with them.

You ask why? One really simple reason - the thermal conductivity is really low both due to low mass and the material.

By comparison, putting the coffee in one of my nice Illy collector cups that I've had for a quarter century (and now are probably worth $100-150 per cup) causes some dissonance when I drink it. The cup is cold on a relative basis to the coffee. And my espresso machine does not have a cup heater. And making a cup that hot would be uncomfortable to touch.

Ten years ago, I would have thought this was madness, and now I worry about not having access to the cups anymore (I got them through a friend who ordered them commercially).

Once you get used to drinking out of such a cup, the coffee is the entire experience. There is no real notice of a cup getting in the way of the frothy goodness of the coffee between the cup and your taste buds.

I like keybase, I even got a bunch of my family to use it. To them it is just a free messaging app.I use it for messages and git.

The encrypted messages I have are easy to open and get on using a fresh machine/phone as long as I keep my key around. I don't depend on anyone to maintain their servers, etc. I'm still waiting for a modern replacement, but so far it hasn't happened for me.
In this case, nothing that I know of. Again, that's the kind of math that is classified as "number theory". It's just pure investigation of relationships between numbers. Occasionally you gain some insight that is useful.

A lot of cryptography used to be just number theory until computers came along and were powerful enough to make use of it. How to tell if something if someting is divisible by 3. Checksums as used on credit cards. Euler's algorighm.

No, sexy primes don't really have a point other than they are identified and there is probably some unused conjecture that they are infinite in number.
We're talking about the general public! Can you imagine the phone conversation I would have with my dad about this? It would end in WW3.
Gamma radiation not so much simply makes it through everything, but it does indeed take a lot of shielding to attenuate to save level if there is enough radiation to begin with.

The fact that it interacts with stuff is actually what makes it dangerous. If it went through every thing it would not interact with the worker either and would not pose a thread to them.

Btw. there is a type of radiation that is practically like that: neutrinos. Impossible to shield against, but also completely harmless if you are not standing right next to a super nova.
