We have the technology to get at least to 80% carbon neutrality and we're on a very tight time schedule. Asking for "more research" before investing massively into the things we already know how to do is stupid. Improving the economics must come after we delayed the existential threat.

I'm not entirely sure, it looks like for Skylake CPUs the L3 cache is no longer inclusive but instead acts as an extension of the per core L2 cache.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/11550/the-intel-skylakex-revi...

I remember a while ago reading about storing your encryption keys in L2 instead of ram and deliberate "abuse" of the L3 cache on VPS hosts however can't find that article and haven't kept up with the news on it.

Given that the intel cpu patches have reduced CPU performance by ~15% ( again sorry don't have the exact source) I'd say there has been quite significant changes in cache management in the name of security.

Not a surprising outcome, considering that the general attitude in Tech Twitter is wanting to learn everything, to get in on the ground floor of cool stuff, etc. It's a harmless-ish prank since the money went to good causes and most people willing to donate just to get in on some app clearly have disposable income. Still misleading and not "victimless" but it's probably the most fun many people have had in this hellish year.
No not all instances, unless you write a script using their API.

The public timeline of all instances is by default public, without authentication. So technically you could scrape them.

Also I must advocate relaying. ActivityPub relays are very simple servers that receive all posts from any subscribed instance. Not just mastodon either, multiple AP services supported.

And then relays those posts to all subscribed instances.

Relaying does wonders for the public timeline of a small localized instance.

People don't use CPAP on trains and buses. Just when they're sleeping on airplanes.

And the answer is "yes".

I have been told on United flights that I can't eat the nut snack I've brought on board because there's some kid 20 seats behind me in the coach cabin with a nut allergy. If 1 person with a nut allergy is allowed to dictate what particles the rest of the plane can emit, then surely the "rest of the plane" should be able to dictate what one person who wants to use an in-flight CPAP will emit.

Plus there are other treatments for sleep apnea, such as weight loss. See these _medical school_ web sites.

- http://healthysleep.med.harvard.edu/sleep-apnea/treating-osa...

> For those who can't tolerate the CPAP machine, there are other options for treating sleep apnea. Losing weight is one: a majority of sleep apnea patients are overweight or obese. That extra weight causes their airway to collapse and their breathing to be interrupted.

(Source: https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/postings/2019/09/slee... )

> Lose weight if overweight. Even a 10% weight loss can reduce the number of sleep apnea events for most people.

Why this is relevant to this thread:

We have some government agencies (presumably the DOT and whoever enforces the ADA) saying one thing, and other agencies giving other advice about exposing other people to CPAP machines in close quarters.

I agree about the spacing, it feels off to me too but I couldn’t put my finger on why.

A lot of the devices mentioned ("routers, printers, and self-hosted IoT devices") don't give ways to change the certificate. Besides, not every individual or company wants to or is knowledgeable enough to manage their own CA.

It costs so much mostly because programmers don't know how to write software cost-efficiently. As everybody follows the same path, VCs start to believe the cost is increasing when in fact it's the programmer's knowledge of cost-efficiency software design that is decreasing. Take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-SOdj4Kkk

The costs to develop software are ridiculous and unrealistic. It turns out that if enough people act as ridiculous and unrealistic that becomes the new normal.
Facebook should ban her for this.
So the answer is to subvert the global certificate infrastructure that protects web traffic? No, it isn’t. Your IoT device has no security at all if a non-technical user is setting it up or if it doesn’t have a way of accepting a user configured certificate, and you shouldn’t pretend otherwise by dressing it up in bad certificates and worthless encrypted tunnels.

Just use HTTP.

This is neat atho I would agree it isn’t the right tool. The reason is that the time until a second message with the same content can be sent is indeterminate, based on how many intervening messages are sent. If your app does want to send the same notice twice, with an hour in between, and there are no intervening messages, it would fail, so the behavior is unpredictable.

A timed algorithm seems better suited. That said, it probably doesn’t matter much.

As the parent of a college sophomore, I entirely share the article's fears and sentiment.

As a tangential nitpick, I was distracted by this statement: "The average age of a tenured professor is 55, meaning if you meet a 40-year-old tenured prof, there is someone at 70 teaching..."

I think it unwittingly supports another point from the article: "A combination of self-aggrandizement and elitism has convinced American universities that our services are worth indebting generations of young people, and now risking becoming agents of spread."

I've recently started trying Shiori[1] to manage my "bookmarks" and preserving offline copies locally without relying on The Internet Archive, however it still doesn't really help with private content (i.e. Pages only accessible as an authenticated and authorized user) so it'd be great if Promnesia caters for that.

A bill, the Endless Frontiers Act, has been introduced in both houses of Congress to make a section of the National Science Foundation that works more like DARPA, while massively increasing its funding. The idea is to extend the DARPA model to many more non-military areas, just as suggested in this article.

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/us-lawmakers-unveil-...

Certainly a timely article. I don't know whether it's a good thing or not. The DARPA model has certainly been productive, but it isn't suited for every research topic or subdiscipline.

As discussed in the article, currently NSF is the most open to basic science of funding agencies, and gives grantees the most latitude in what they work on. That is a valuable thing to have in the ecosystem.

If Congress expects the majority of publicly-funded research even from the NSF to be on short-term grants for specific visions and technologies, it will rule out working on a lot of important things.
That author is all over the place. It's a general rant about the obvious.

At the beginning, he's on to something. Fiction has a plot shortage. "Across TV, movies, and novels it is increasingly difficult to find a compelling story that doesn’t rely on gimmicks." Movies are stuck in the Star [Wars|Trek|Gate] ditch, and the Marvel Overextended Universe. The 25th James Bond movie is supposed to come out this year, if anybody cares.

Some of this is simply the entertainment glut. Everyone has seen all the possible plot twists. Go back in history and read some of the Canterbury Tales from around 1400. Read a story half way through, then ask yourself how it will end. You'll be right. There are no plot twists. Back then, entertainment was so scarce that they weren't needed.

A more serious problem is that there's no shared vision of a better world. Fiction doesn't help us get to a better place. This hit science fiction first. Science fiction of the 1930s to the 1960s was quite upbeat, showing a picture of a marvelous future. It's been downhill since the 1970s. Today SF is mostly space opera. Dystopian visions used to be rare. Now most SF is dystopian. Even much non-SF is dystopian. From The Wire to Game of Thrones, the world sucks.
I believe the reason corpus changes the root when you decline it is because Latin went through a phase where /s/ between vowels became /r/.

Eg: corpus -> * corpusem -> corporem

Similar pattern with many other Latin words we think of as ending in -r but the nominative form actually has an -s, eg. colos -> * colosem -> colorem
Isnt the first paragraph basically bullshit? It made up attitudes out of thin air. I have yet to meet product manager or manager or business person that would call himself creative - including those with tatoos and other visible "crazy" visual style.

And the people I knew with tatoos did not necessary interpreted themselves as non conforming either. There were aware of raising acceptance of tatoos.

And guy explicitely explained his tatoos as "just result of being in environment where many people have it and talk about it, you kinda shift there".
Thanks! I was inspired by looking at unim.press and wondering, “how hard would it be to put an extract from the page there instead of lorem ipsum?” (Quite difficult, it turns out—I don’t think there’s any way short of human curation or maybe some sort of ML training on a large corpus—but you can get reasonably far with a carefully tuned set of CSS selectors for commonly seen class names.)

It took me about 8 or 10 hours yesterday to build, and I think about half of that was tweaking the heuristics for the paragraph/image extraction and keyword selection (the “STYLE, 3” that links to the thread page).

They're not the do no evil entity. There are privacy concerns with Windows 10. Windows 10 also has many dark patterns present to get you to opt into their privacy invasive patterns. There was a hacker news story on here about 2 days ago about them exfiltrating data from firefox to import into edge without user permission.

They're spending billions of dollars to court developer good will, while at the same time undoing this effort through these practices. I for one refuse to use Windows, and do not trust Microsoft.

One of the biggest, if not the biggest, problem of online courses is cheating on tests. And yes, students cheat.

I'm talking here about Physics, but I assume it's similar in other disciplines of the hard sciences.

This is less so a problem for higher classes -- you can write take-home problems which are hard and uncommon enough that you can't google-solve them. But even then, students will solve them in a team. Or in other words: The best students will solve it, and everybody will have the solution.

For lower classes, almost by definition, the problems are all textbook. Yes, you can change numbers around, and formulations, but with some google-fu, most problems are shallow :)

The situation gets even harder if you want to be fair to the students who are not on campus. How good is their internet? How do you handle "my internet went down"? Or: I'm in this other timezone, your test is in the middle of the night! What I did in the last semester is allow the students to take the test at any time of the day, and give ample time for the test itself. But of course, that gives them more chance to communicate, and help each other. Even randomized tests (i.e. with changing numbers) do not help here, because often the complication is finding the right formula. Putting in other numbers is then trivial.

There are only proctored exams, but they only help if you use a locked down browser. I'd rather not put what amounts to spyware onto my students computers. AND they are pretty easy to fool anyway.

The only way around that are taking tests in testing centers. But there is an issue of scale here, especially in COVID times.

The second problem is lab classes. It's very hard to teach experimental setup techniques online. How do you use a scope? Can you find a bad connection? Why did this resistor just blow up? You let the students play with sometimes quite expensive equipment, you can not expect them to just have that at home.

Third, online teaching is a very bad experience for many students. Not so much of the class itself -- I think this can often be remedied. But things like the exchange with other students, the opportunity to ask the professor face to face, but also so basic things like having to get up and out of your room for class instead of watching it (or a recording) from your bed. Not all, but many students struggled hard to motivate themselves to study sitting at home.

I do believe that it's better to have no in-person classes, or maybe a bare minimum. Teachers will try to teach the students as best as possible, but make no mistake, the education of many students will suffer.
A Harvard Business Review study of common traits among CEOs found that the leaders who rose to that position fastest were those who had a “catapult experience”—a bold and potentially risky career move.

Look for survivor bias there. You'd probably get a similar narrative by interviewing people who won big in Vegas.
William Gibson was ahead of the curve with this in Pattern Recognition and the idea of anti-marketing, where secrecy itself becomes the distinguishing factor in creating interest mostly of perpetually bored, shallow, bohemians and the plot centers around finding the source of deliberately hidden anonymous film clips.

When these companies start advertising again in a few weeks there needs to be negative PR. I think a lot of them are only pausing ad buy's regardless of what facebook does.

Yes, if done perfectly. Then I don't need to second guess it and potentially waste time if the thing removed something important by mistake.

But that's equivalent to solving the halting problem, which is impossible. So, no.
