Working a lot, especially on one thing, makes us stupid, I think.

"Geniuses" are frequently people with unusual sets of interests. This is probably not simply a reflection of their mind, but also a shaper of their thought processes.

Think of it this way: If you have ten programmers in the office and nine of them play video games as their hobby and the tenth knits as their hobby, the knitter will probably come up with very different ideas from the other nine when facing similar problems at work.

Now scale that up further. If ninety percent of all programmers have a lot of similar hobbies and interests, the ten percent with "odd" interests for their profession will be the ones with wildly different takes on any given problem at work.
Someone who hasn't bought a new car in the last couple of years probably wouldn't be aware of these features. Also for some reason car dealers, at least in the US where I've been buying cars recently, don't seem to highlight these features too much. Perhaps because they're not a way for the dealer to make more money. It can also be quite hard in my experience to get a straight story on exactly what the safety capabilities of a given car are. E.g. will it just warn of an impending collision or activate the brakes? Does it drive the steering system on lane departure or just warn? When buying a car recently for my new driver son to drive I had to pretty much try driving it into things to verify the features were implemented as expected and in one case (active steering on lane departure) I didn't know the car had the feature until after taking delivery.

The International Atomic Energey Committee who is tasked with investigating
this kind of accident has many reports on accidents including irradiators. It
seems that these are not uncommon (as radiation accidents go), probably
because the radioactive sources in irradiators are made to be moved about and
occasionally transported, much more so than, e.g. the radioactive fuel in
reactors, or even weapons.

Lax standards or just changing circumstances such as an owner moving or going
out of business (or collapsing entirely, like in the case of the USSR) has
caused accidents, in the past.

A famous example is the accident in Goiânia, in Brazil, in 1985. In short, a
private radiotherapy institute moved house leaving behind a working caesium
137 teletherapy unit with the source still in it. Two people took parts of the
unit, broke them apart and sold them to a scrap yard. The owner noticed the
blue glow of the strange salt-like substance in the unit and took it home and
showed it to his friends and family. People became fascinated with the sight
and took fragments of it to their homes where their kids and family played
with it. Eventually, someone connected the fact that people were getting sick
with the strange glowing stuff and took a sample to the public health
department. This led to the accident being discovered.

Some 250 people were contaminated and four died while others suffered
radiation sickness, but fortunately recovered. Lest this be taken as evidence
of the low risk from such accidents let it just be said: you don't want your
kids playing with sparkly blue radioactive stardust.

I’ve been using Clerky for awhile, which is a little clunky but certainly can be useful.

I’m curious how these two platforms compare. The common use cases seem to have a lot of overlap.
Stonehenge summer solstice: Thousands gather to cheer sunrise
Or the dictator could put them up in a hotel for that week.
This feels all so familiar to me. My biggest pain point is the loosing ability to think about things as the speed at which things shall be delivered seems to increase with every month / iteration.

However I recently started to repair random things, mostly those which have a reputation for being the building blocks of our welfare, like water pumps, generators, old stationary engines. This provided me with the need to deeply engage in research hos stuff works and improvisation as many spare parts cant be bought new any more. Working with my hands also gives me a good feeling of having actually done something.

What a coincidence, those used to be my points of interest too!
Having worked in a lab, I do not think this is FUD.

Cryogenic freezers commonly cost > $10,000. Needless to say, space is very much at a premium.

Worse, moving samples between freezers is incredibly time consuming because allowing them to thaw even slightly will often damage them. In a biomedical lab such as you might reasonably expect to find at Harborview, many of the samples will invariable be living cells that have been frozen in order to preserve them (ie they can be thawed later and will still be alive... some percentage of them, at least). These samples are incredibly sensitive to how they are handled.
Really we should have a solstice bank holiday it would really tie the year together.
Anybody else having issues with Airbnb?
Anybody here having issues with Airbnb? I am traveling the US and I wished so much I had booked a hotel or hostel for my stays. First apartment I arrived in the US there was no lock on the door of the apartment and I would arrive at the home and sometimes the main door would be open. When I woke up on the last night of my stay something had bitten me on the chest and I got very scared. Second apartment I stayed was really nice but the moved to other apartment and the other apartment was really dirty and the door of my room was broken and did not close when I had booked for a private spae. The owner had four bullies as he did not come himself than when they heard me complaining to Airbnb that they were making loud noise they enter the room without my permsission and they told me I should leave because I was complaining to Airbnb or they would hit me. They broke my case and left me on the street in the middle of the night. Airbnb promised me they would pay me the nightly rate for a hotel and they did not. They told me I could tell the owner to get a refund for my broken case but I cannot do it as the reservation was cancelled. Airbnb is ignoring my messages and now I am in other Airbnb that is as expensive as a hotel and it is extremely dirty. I am not complaining but I am having a horrible holiday due to have made the mistake of booking with Airbnb. This is simply unacceptable. I am wondering if other people had this experiences. I would have been much happier in a hostel I think. Much cleaner that this infected places where I am staying.
Any insights on what this would cost to build?
That's how I read it too. The existing C code which is not passing the expected parameter was a result of "hey I've tried it without and it worked" approach. It "worked" at the moment, and only for that specific compiler, but once the compiler started to rely on the "fact" that the parameter is "by definition there" some the previously "working" programs started to break.

And this outcome is in fact nothing special to C and Fortran. I can just as well write a shell script (or any other) which "expects" that there is a parameter and if I don't use it and I later start to depend on it I'm sure there will be some other scripts calling that one and passing something else than what was "defined" as expected to be passed.

On that topic, erverybody should read ryl00's comment here. Having more than one really different target is the only practically effective path to immunize from these kinds of dependencies. For me, it's one of good arguments against the "monoculture" software targets.
Then write that. Saying winter lasts 9 months is nonsense and nonsense in journalism should be pointed out, though not as aggressively perhaps.
Possibly the incorporation of and reaction to vast amounts of sensory input with a very short time window, where very small mistakes could lead to very large failures. Path planning, resource management, mental modeling of opponents, situational awareness, equipment awareness, physical modeling and prediction, would all be at maximum capacity most of the time.
I'm somehow both surprised at the comments here and also not surprised. A remarkably large number of people posting find no problem whatsoever in a supposedly top journal claiming "the field has moved on" from a major and famous study that turns out to be wrong. Heck, I'm not a psychologist and I've heard of this study!

All sorts of important questions are raised by this:

- Should we trust anything published by Science or other top journals at all?

- Is the lackadaisical attitude related to the subject matter? I've read that studies casting conservatives in a good light get replicated almost immediately, and psychology is completely dominated by liberal voters (>90%). Which leads to:

- Why did it take over ten years for such a widely cited study to be replicated? Nobody cared because it fed their own political biases?

And finally:

- What do we do about it? Can academia reform itself at all or is that a lost cause? If so perhaps psychology isn't really worth studying, given the large expense involved and the fact that the outputs so often seem to be noise.

Similar to python-jsonpipe (8 years ago).

https://github.com/zacharyvoase/jsonpipe

It includes 'jsonunpipe'.

So you could grep part of the JSON and still get a JSON back.

```
echo '{"a": 1, "b": 2}' |grep b| jsonpipe | jsonunpipe

#{""b": 2}
```
Considering they’re thought to arrived several thousand years ago, are they on the way out, or is this just from one town.

Something, something, site guidelines about suggesting the commentor didn't RTFA.

>I trust the NSA more than random contributors on the internet that have less known motives and may in many cases be agents of foreign spy agencies.

To be fair, I think that you stated the OC's point and failed to recognise it:

Your domestic spy agency is another's foregin spy agency. Why should they trust yours over theirs? Both have (presumably) equally less-known motives, yeah?
Interesting. My view must have been tainted by Oliver Stone.

Same here.

Though I find it almost equally commendable how much effort they put into applying their infrastructure know-how into making IPFS, Ethereum etc. accessible lately, and with that help pave a way for a more decentralized internet again.
I'm not sure intel has advantage in avx 2 with the new ryzen. That said I got this information from some unsourced comment in hacker news, it might be totally wrong.
People in this thread are talking about how they wouldn't trust the NSA at all. I went to a presentation and talked with people from the NSA before and at face value they seemed like a silicon valley tech company. In their presentation they talked about how they were interested in open source, diversity, big data, artificial intelligence, and all the other buzzwords. They all seemed like they genuinely thought what they were doing was helping people. I know what they've done (and continue to do) but it's strange being able to attach a face to an action. You're more likely to believe them and buy what they are saying. I suppose the best thing to do is check over their code and accept it if everything looks good. They probably are being genuine.

As a an extra piece of information that I found interesting, they were pushing the diversity stuff hard. Everyone that gave the presentation were women (and they weren't low level people), they had an African-American person that worked there talk about how inclusive it was, they talked about how they're super accepting of LGBTQ+ people, and on and on. The tech stuff was for like 5 minutes, then the rest was on diversity (at a tech presentation, looking for recruits). I'm not exaggerating.
does avx512 bring that much of a perf advantage ?
Wow that is fantastic. I can't wait for my break down, I mean Klein Bottle.
Shipping cost is the first information you see not only during checkout but in cart and next to the product on product page or even list.
If you have varying shipping price you should give range and after clicking range you should let user specify address to get precise shipping cost.
What I also find a kind of 'freaky' is that it touches the object and then feels it is attached to something and says 'nope!'. And it is gone.

Ofcourse this is no proof but to me it shows some kind of intelligence.
A middle ground could exist here...

Rather than publish the entire paper, they could publish the single sentence:

> Issue 55, Page 8, the paper we published has been replicated with more data, and results do not support the original research conclusions. See paper entitled "Foo" published in "other journal" for details.
No Jio, it’s cheaper to have a sustainable high speed connection for one person, but a lot more capital intensive for lots of people.

In the UK you can buy a 200mbps connection, but at peak times in the evening it slows to about 10mbps since they don’t have the capacity.

I suppose they point is peak time usage.
Regarding the accidental ingestion of Cs-137. The radioactive source in this case, according to the article, was in the form of talkum powder. The danger with this kind of material is not that it will be accidentally ingested, but that it will find its way into the respiratory system, where it can't be easily bound by Prussian blue.

Accidents with irradiation sources of Caesium 137 have previously happened. See my other comment in this thread on the radiological accident in Goiania, Brazil, in the 1980's, where the source of the radiation was a radiotherapy unit with a Cs-137 source, that was sold for scrap and taken to peoples' homes for the strange blue glow it emited.

With radiation risks, the idea is to find a balance: don't go mad with fear, but don't treat it like it's trivial, either. I mean, it's not like because you can neutralise Cs-137 with Prussian blue, you can go ahead and solve some in your afternoon tea and imbibe it, and no worries.
Stop! Just stop this! This is a "Show HN" post. Someone out there is trying to develop something useful and share it with the community. By doing so, the author is willingly putting themselves in a vulnerable position where the author's work could be examined critically. The project is also open source. Don't forget that it means that it is being given to you as a gift!

If you think this needs more testing, do it yourself. The author of this project does not owe you any testing. If the Makefile works for author, that's good enough for the author. If it isn't good enough for you, fix it. The license allows you to do that. Then consider being nice and giving that fix back to the community with a pull request.

Don't come here on your high horse and post vile comments on something that is being shared with you as a gift! If you come here with your pull requests, code, or even better--your own projects, you would be welcome!
From the article:

"International Isotopes contractors had set up a secure steel “chamber” wherein they would perform a crucial, most perilous part of the operation: removing the capsule with cesium-137 from the irradiator."

The problem is they didn't realise it had happened straight away. They only discovered the leak later, when performing a routine wipe-down check of the area. There are still details missing though, like how come they didn't perform the wipe-down check before opening the chamber? Or did they? As the article says, it's not clear exactly what happened.
Modern Intel chips can encrypt memory on the fly without performance loss (SGX does this). However I think it's not exposed for non-enclave use. Perhaps it should be.

Note: inside the enclave there is a performance loss but that's due to MAC checks. If you just want encryption without integrity against tampering you don't need that.
Do you realize that this is open source and being offered to you as a gift? The license allows you to compile this tool with whatever compiler and flags you want. Please do that if you care about the optimizations. But please do not post dismissive comments when someone is putting themselves in a vulnerable position willingly by sharing their hard work for free with the community. If you have feedback to offer, do it constructively with kindness and acceptance, not with reproach and snide.

I think the assumption is the symmetric key can be stored in AES-NI registers that aren't susceptible to RAM based side channel attacks?
Back in the early 2000s Apple was getting crushed because Moto/IBM's PowerPC couldn't keep up with the 880lb gorilla Intel. Who could have predicted even a few years ago Apple would wind up in a similar situation, yet this time for having bet on Intel?

Could the 8 core Mac Pro have been $3650 with a $650 Rome CPU, vs. the reality of $6k with a $3k Xeon?
There's an implication in your argument that the science posted in the journal is of a good enough quality to be published - otherwise why wouldn't you apply the same standard you are applying here? Doing a bad job isn't limited to just reproduction.

Considering the reproducibility crisis, is it your position that people are worse at reproducing research than they are at conducting it? An alternative interpretation would be that people have more incentive to publish hastily-made "failed to reproduce" papers than they have "findings" papers, but I don't think that's the case either, especially considering the reply from Science to this case.
If you search online you'll find many of these stories. AirBNB got already too big, it is really hard to talk to the customer service or get the money back if you're not happy. It's like Ebay, you need to be lucky nowadays.

I prefer booking over Booking.com if I'm not sure about the offer. It's sad where it went... And yes, it's often overpriced...

I'm traveling for a long time now, and all I can say is people are shit. I have seen rooms totally destroyed or made dirty by visitors. It goes also the other way around. If it's not mine, I don't care.
While I give away 100% of the stuff on my website for free because I like to help people, it is NOT socialism.

I could not live off my website being free, I have a day job.

And as the author says, open source advocates tend to be more libertarian.

And also as the author said, using 'socialism' will make people cringe. Yes, because the author is trying very hard to find 'digital' socialism.
I'd say it's a bit early to be making statements like that; Zen 2 has native 256 bit vector units, and might yet do OK with AVX2 code vs Intel processors.

AVX512 though, even if you don't use the full width registers (eg to avoid throttling), the new instructions are very useful and not at all present on Zen 2. I wouldn't be surprised if Zen 3 kept 256 bit vector units, but supported the AVX512 instruction set.

Yes, but do you often need to automatically determine if a bug causes a program to run indefinitely or only much longer than expected? That would be the halting problem, yes (strictly speaking, some subset of it, and for many programs a decidable one).
This was also replicated by IBM CUA standard so Microsoft Windows had it from day one, too.

Well now that I think about it, I do welcome literary devices when they are so obvious that they only assume primary schooling. Normally they make the text more human, more fun. Also, I can't really see someone getting deeply confused by this; and momentarily confusion is even good to revisit some knowledge from time to time.
Don't drink the kool-aid. ...they probably have a bunch of LGBT African-American women whose sole job it is to be visible.

The NSA is one of the few companies legally allowed to do stuff like only hire you if you're a U.S. citizen and even say so in their job advertisements, and keep you out of certain kinds of roles (the ones where the real action is, probably), without being held to transparency standards and nondiscrimination laws that would apply to private corporates. They can always cite undisclosed nonspecific security concerns rather than having to say "We didn't allow that person into that role because it isn't a middle-aged white guy".

I think the first step is to wake up. Really think about what impact the info addiction has on your life. Bucause if you don't it is very hard to see why you should change bad behavior.

I can confirm I have seen Elon and Tesla Marketing do 'horrible' things. Its one of the least ethical mainstream companies.

If I could warn anyone, I found our fellow 'highly educated' nerds, fall for marketing, similar to how we see the uneducated masses fall for populist politicians. I believe this is because these 'nerds', don't work in automotive and have limited understanding of 2019 automotive technology.

There's lots of things we don't understand about the health interactions, but even if you don't suffer ill effects at least you'll risk stigma if you and your clothes smell of mildew.

It's sometimes hard to imagine how hard and unprecitable lives of past generations were. For most of history people's indoor firepits didn't have chimneys, for example, and the health effects were less of a concern than wars, infectious diseases, getting hurt in physical labour, or famine.

Also, most old houses were well ventilated and built of mildew resistant materials (= poor insulation and wood).

I need to ask, what is the problem here? At my fortune 500 company, I make easily enough that I don't care about money.
