There is also Delay, Don't Deny: Living an Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle by Gin Stephens which is basically One Meal a Day, however she includes links to all the reports to everything she talks about in the book and yes, she actually read them and encourages others to do the same, not just believe what she says.

I don't think it's so much that people will be fooled by fake video, as that people can no longer rely on video as evidence. Up until now, video has been the gold standard of "proof" that an event happened. Quotes, photos, and (to an extent) audio have been fakeable for a long time, and they are mistrusted accordingly. And while CGI has slowly made it harder to spot fake events, videos of speech remained mostly safe.

It's won't upend the world, but we are losing a hugely helpful tool that has been relied upon for 60 years.

>> Many of the doctoral candidates I knew in school couldn't find positions in academia because of market saturation.

The situation is now drastically different compared to say 40 years ago. That is why so many PhDs leave for industry to be better paid. The latter is possible for CS guys but in other domains the situation is pretty bad since they don't have easily accessible highly paid industry jobs.
Yes, but they neglected to tell the veracrypt developers once truecrypt stopped being developed. Though they also do know many municipalities using both applications. They should have told the veracrypt developers and advised the municipalities to switch to the newer version. And the whole argument about the information being outdated by then when both are clearly in use seems negligent of their duties.

They aren't too bad, really. Each volume is something like 500 pages, so roughly 70 pages per day. If you can dedicate an hour or two per weekday and three hours per weekend day, it's very doable.

Strongly disagree there. The material is perfectly fine, in part due to massive safety margins.

Composites have been in use in crewed aerospace vehicles for ~55 years (or arguably >80 years).

Composite aircraft were developed in the early 1960s, although first use of composites goes back to the 1930s, and even the Space Shuttle developed in the 1970s made extensive use of composites... not just carbon fiber and kevlar, but also materials considered cutting edge today, like metal-matrix boron fiber and carbon-carbon.

The materials are perfectly ready, if you're willing to pay the cost of testing, analysis, and margin. It took just ~35 years to go from Wright Brothers and their wooden aircraft to all-aluminum pressurized airliners (and yeah, there were folks who were skeptical of aluminum at that time as well).

Given at least 50 years in extensive use, I can't see how waiting longer will help[0]. The alternative is permanent stasis.

[0]More analysis or more margin or more testing is an argument I could buy into, but not being "too early for prime time."

That trusted source didn't bother to vet the faked documents and instead rushed it onto the air. That trusted source continued to push that narrative even going so far as to say, "fake but accurate," destroying all credibility and ultimately retiring.

The only difference is today, they don't retire out of shame, they just keep on doing it, keeping viewership via emotional draw rather than rational news. Real news has been dead since that incident in my view. It's mostly state propaganda, regardless of party.

> And 2/3rds of the US population lives in 3.5% of the land area, what do you expect?

Per the article, it's more than just that, unsurprisingly.

"A large population and workforce is only part of the story. Last year, these counties represented $1.3 trillion more of nationwide GDP than the share of workers alone would account for. Looking at population, their combined share of GDP rose even as their share of overall population fell. The difference may stem from other aspects of a city, such as clusters of activity or networks, that improve productivity."
If an 'antique' gold coin is more valuable than its weight in gold there may be practical benefits in complying with the law as it may be difficult (and less profitable) to sell these coins without the correct paperwork. Indeed, I suppose that any serious dealer will want to check the status of these coins, and any dodgy dealer will buy at a discount.

Well, I still read them almost every christmas. At least a few of them.

I'd also recommend Brandon Sanderson. Mistborn series is very good, and Stormligh Archive is good so far. I really like his world-building, and I think the way he uses magic is something most HNers would approve of. It's often well defined, and the characters try to exploit it the same way a reader would.
But did the VeraCrypt developers know about it?
This is nice. Thanks for sharing it.
Probably just GitHub (the browser UI). If you want to do it offline or from the command line, I understand why you might hesitate want to check out files, but stashing in git is extremely easy.
"wealthy people are less likely to be full-blown alcoholics" - total bullshit. Sorry, but walk into any once a week church AA meetings and you will find many wealthy alcoholics there. The difference is that wealthy people can afford a lawyer and don't suffer the same devastating economic consequences from their drinking as the poor so it takes them longer to hit their bottom and finally admit they have a problem they can't control.
"Composite materials are not ready for prime time."

Wow, I didn't know the 787 was built with that in mind. Seriously, my dad has worked at Beechcraft since the 80s and he remembers when they tried that nonsense with the Starship. It's like no one remembers why the idea was scrapped beyond the initial costs (composites have to have aluminum weave to allow lightning strikes and static discharge dissipate through the wings otherwise it'll blow off said wing).

That's part of the problem with scare quotes. You're not trusting the reader. (in this case, the reader should be trusted to know that "blows up" and "excessive" are, well, as I described them above. One would hope they also trust you to not make stuff up, but if not, you're not going to fix that with some quotes.)

I get that these bullets points are answering What instead of Why but for those that are more readily discernible, like "In a year-and-a-half, the time required to train a large image classification system on cloud infrastructure has fallen from about three hours in October 2017 to about 88 seconds", what's causing this? Are models getting smaller without a loss in accuracy? Is training distributed over a greater amount of cheaper machines? Personally, I'd be more excited about the former rather than the latter. We can't all afford MegatronLM-type experiments - https://nv-adlr.github.io/MegatronLM.
Sure, Assume that there are twice as many men in this room, then if a sexual remark is made by a random person, then it will twice as often be made by a male. If the target of said sexual remark is always of the opposite sex, then a specific sexual remark made against a male will have twice as many males to choose from, meaning that a particular male has half the chance of receiving each comment than a female would.

So as a summary: if there are twice as many males in the room and everyone is equally likely to make a sexual comment against the opposite sex, then females would get 4 such comments for each comment a male gets.

Now, for normal everyday examples like walking down the street, asking a question in a class, taking the train, etc.. Does it seem likely to be twice as many males in this "room"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sex_ratio says that there are 1.01 males to each female, I would say that this is not nearly enough to account for this difference.

First two thirds are engaging, though he over simplifies rather too much to fit everything neatly into the either-or, but I learnt of much I did not know. Despite his efforts over preceding pages to remain neutral, the later parts become infuriating. He can't help guiding you to Borlaugianism (wizard's tech as adversary to nature) as the preferred correct solution. I felt rather let down in the end and wonder about how balanced the preceding actually was.

I don't think the argument is that deepfakes won't matter. It's that they don't represent a new paradigm, but are instead just an additional medium (video) which must be more scrutinized than before.

I'd be interested in a good study that compared smoking one cigarette a day with smoking 365 cigarettes "at once". (or more likely a less immediately lethal dose both for daily as well as "at once" consumption)

My intuition would be the opposite of yours. I think our body is reasonably well equipped to handle low dose exposure, but large doses at once are more likely to cause irreversible damage.

I haven't had any alcohol since 2011. Most people don't really care, but ever so often you run into someone who is offended that you don't even want a single beer... and it is always, without failure, the kind of person who themselves drink too much, too often, and/or just handle it poorly.
