Thanks. In a previous comment you said that “The oxymeter beeped and woke me up.” Is this the same oxymeter? I read the FAQ for the FL350 and it doesn’t have an alarm.
This doesn't say that it was a damaged fuel rod, only that that is a possibility and that it has been discovered to be the cause of similar readings previously.
My definition for scripting language is even more basic than the other commenters here - a scripting language is one where the user executes the source file (the script).

Of course the system is free to do whatever it wants under the hood (e.g. Python generates .pyc files) etc, but as a user if you can double click the main source file/feed it to a program and have the full program run, then it's a scripting language.
Neutrinos move too fast. Dark matter ought to move at nonrelativistic speeds to generate the observed effects. Another way to put this is that neutrinos are "hot" dark matter and we expect "cold" dark matter.
According to what I learned from friends who work at tiktok, the parent company are planning to formally sever the business tie with tiktok. Although the technology team is assumed to still share the same infrastructure (networking storage compute etc.). I never was a web or mobile app developer and my friends are not either, and I never used tiktok so have no idea how the client side technology going to be structure.

PS: Tiktok and the purely algorithm driven content consumption is absolutely going to be a super mind washing machine that I will never going to touch, and will teach my kids to stay away as well.
This is not a serious suggestion nor a serious article.

For example, it propose Mexico is somehow geopolitically safe country to move anything into, when in reality it is a failed state [1]. The authors are completely, utterly, deluded.

Not surprised it is in the Harvard Business Review. Utterly decoupled from reality.

That would seem to be a conundrum, since you said earlier that you think there may be a 1/3 asymptomatic rate.

Most of the mass of galaxies isn't in their stars (which, for the most part, keep moving with the dark matter) it's in gas clouds and dust formations. When two galaxies collide, the gas and dust effectively halts.

What we see when galaxies collide is that most of the mass of the galaxies move straight through each other without appreciably decelerating. And most of the matter, the gas clouds and star forming regions, halt in the middle.

MOND was taken seriously as a theory from its inception in the '70s through the end of the 20th century, but because of the bullet cluster, it is effectively dead. MOND is falsified by observational evidence.

For this article to discuss MOND so thoroughly, but not mention the bullet cluster once... It doesn't pass the smell test. This is pseudo-scientific trash.

There's other evidence against MOND and various alternative-gravity models (there are several of them, it's a large umbrella) but most of them do a very poor job at explaining the edge cases, such as the bullet cluster and ultra diffuse galaxies. Some ultra diffuse galaxies have a conspicuous absence of gravitational lensing and stars which orbit extraordinarily slowly; ie, they have very little dark matter. If the explanation for dark matter was that we had the laws of physics wrong, the newly revised gravitational theories should apply equally well to these galaxies- which they don't.

Apple Suddenly Confirms Surprise iPhone 12 Upgrade
I use WebRTC and WebSockets in a side project of mine [0]. WebRTC requires coordination of multiple services and fallbacks (relay servers) when peers can't establish a direct connection due to firewalls among other things.

STUN, TURN, and ICE are a few technologies you need to understand to get started with WebRTC. I'd guess most folks aren't familiar when first looking into it.

The complexity is worth it if you're determined to push most bandwidth costs to clients like I am.

If you want near 100% connectivity at a lower complexity, WebSockets are almost always preferred.

SCTP already provides that in WebRTC.
the company simply shrugging their shoulders and saying there's no way you can prove that it's from this vs something else

That's not how it works. It doesn't matter if the company "shrugs their shoulders", if the FDA wants to pull the drug, it gets pulled.

The FDA has a requirement that all adverse events reported to a company must be reported to the FDA (massive fines if you don't). The FDA will then take that data and do their own analysis. Yes, they will work with the company to discuss the data and it's implications, but have zero qualms with yanking a drug if the company thinks it's still safe.

When we were negotiating our label with the FDA, we asked for a wording change because we thought the current wording was confusing. FDA came back with "we don't agree". So we added more explanation and they came back with "we're not changing it". We just accepted it as it was just delaying launch and it was clear we werne't going to get our way.

Note that GP said -A -- this means the agent gets forwarded, and processes on the malicious server can ask the agent to perform authentication operations.

Touch to auth means the agent (or hardware token) asks the user to to confirm they are expecting an authentication request to come in.

This allows you to forward your agent to a host and have slightly more protection against malicious processes on the host using your key.

Some friendly feedback: I clicked through to your article about the two pointer technique and, AFAICT, there's nothing for me to do or read here. It says "In this guide, we'll cover..." but it's not clear how to actually view the guide. I'm guessing - without having clicked around at all - that my next step would be to create an account and visit the page again, but that's not at all clear to me as an unauthenticated user.

I do see a small "Login" on the bottom right of the page, as well as "Sign in" and a highlighted "Upgrade" at the top. But there is no CTA telling me what my next step should be. Maybe users of your site who land on this page will know what that step should be, but you might want to add some direction for people who randomly land on it via SEO/SEM or links on forums.

Cheers!

ETA: in a search for some action, I clicked all over the graphic and on a couple phrases in the intro to see if they would take me somewhere. If you're tracking clicks, it might be worth looking at whether other users are doing similar things.

SATnet is an interesting paper, in this regard. It's built on a theory of backpropping through the semi-definite programming relaxation of a MAXSAT problem, to learn the MAXSAT problem associated with a class of training examples. It gets good results: learns to solve sudoku puzzles with only binary feedback on its performance (i.e. "that's the solution" or "that's not the solution", no partial feedback on partially-correct solutions). They say it's the first time a neural net has been able to do that. On the other hand, if you look at the coefficient matrix they learn for the MAXSAT problem, it doesn't correspond to any logical proposition because the overwhelming majority of the learned coefficients are close to 0, whereas in the representation of a MAXSAT problem, the coefficients must be -1, 0 or 1, where 0 means the corresponding variable doesn't occur.

Is it a major result? Well I'm certainly impressed. Do we understand what the network is doing? I don't think we do... I'm still glad to have read the paper, though. I don't know what standard you would hold researchers to, to let through results like SATnet but reject spray-and-pray results which only look good because of offline multiple sampling. If you could require a lab notebook of authors, detailing every step of development, that might work.

> absolutely going to be a super mind washing machine

Perhaps; your greater worry should be that kids are prioritising TikTok over other, more important things (like school/sleep)

> will teach my kids to stay away as well

Good luck; it's going to be hard, especially when all their friends will be using it. (Source: I'm a high schooler ;) ) Perhaps an easier path is to teach them to avoid all/most social media. That's what my dad told me to do, and to date I find it a lot easier to say "I'm not on any social media" than "I'm not on TikTok" to my friends.

(HN arguably is social media though...)
You can create a WebRTC datachannel in any modern browser with just one line of javascript:

channel = new RTCPeerConnection().createDataChannel("foo", {ordered: false})

Then you can read from it with:

channel.onopen = () => { ... }
channel.onmessage = (event) => { ... }

This is widely supported in every modern browser.
Click through the European countries (France, Italy, Spain, etc) in the link below and look at the graphs of daily new case. Their numbers are way down. The virus looks to be under control.

We haven't done nearly as well in most of the US. Granted, our overall death rate has been lower that many European countries, but I wonder how long that will last.

The problem is when those communities constitute more than half of your users, they generally do creep into all of the other subreddits.

That's a perfectly good question, and that's exactly why for a time in the 90s they were one of the leading candidates for dark matter. Unfortunately it fell apart when we got a better understanding of structure formation, which determines the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe today. If the 3 neutrinos have masses around where we think, then they'd be too light and move too fast in the early universe, smoothing the distribution out and thus suppressing small-scale clumping, contrary to observations. On the other hand, if the 3 neutrinos were a lot heavier (possible we can only detect their mass differences, not the absolute masses) they would screw up the CMB. The qualitative case was great, but quantitatively it just didn't work out.
They also caught like 20 other popular apps doing the same thing including NYTimes, Google News, and even Google Chrome. Instead of highlighting all of those, the article chooses to play on the "evil chinese" theme, for more sensationalist headlines. Appalling, in my opinion.

I'm all for the message of "get help if you need it," and it sounds like OP needs the help of a professional, so I upvoted your comment. But minimizing the triggering event is not helpful; the things you see as trivial or unimportant might be insurmountable or critical to someone else.
That's an interesting claim. TikTok has been recruiting rapidly in America, and they structure their offers mostly in terms of their non-fungible funny money, marked to a fantastic valuation (I think they told me Bytedance was worth $300bn or something preposterous). I wonder how they would pay out in a severance of TikTok from the parent company.

> Do you have any good reads on the difference in format that you are referencing? (Linear versus whatever the gpu is doing?)

Linear is just your normal buffer where you index into a pixel at '(y * stride) + x', where stride is probably just the width * bytes per pixel.

But this isn't how GPUs store texture data. They swizzle it so that locality can be maintained well enough regardless of how the texture is rotated. httsp://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/texture-tiling-and-swizzling/ is a decent introduction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-order_curve has more of the general side of things.

There's then also framebuffer compression in addition to all this.
What about the STUN, ICE etc stuff? Saying “you just open a connection” is only part of the story.
Additionally, during the 3 years I've had experience with WebRTC, I've come across at least 2-3 browser bugs causing compatibility issues when connecting peers cross-browser.

This is just not something you run into with WebSockets.

Interesting. Guessing this has to do with humming (or generally, vibration) increasing endogenous nitric oxide production ~15x [0]. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, which could mitigate sleep apnea caused by a deviated septum.

Case for Axion Origin of Dark Matter Gains Traction
I believe this is more of a problem for centralized services - federation gives freedom to the user to choose the level of moderation/censorship they want - if you find certain communities distasteful, you can just join servers that block these communities.

I think it is important however to have a strong emphasis on the separation of the servers from the protocol though - no one seems to care that Nazis could use email to have their own mailing lists.

> It makes me wonder that teeth grinding is highly correlated to breathing and quality of sleep.

I'm a respiratory therapist and grinding is highly common with sleep apnea. Basically, the brain stimulates the jaw to try and move in an attempt to open the airway when it's not getting enough oxygen. Losing weight, getting tonsils out (if you still have them), fixing a deviated septum and soft tissue removal (basically, an ENT does a rotor rooter to the upper throat area) or surgery to bring the jaw forward all can help.

60% of the time, losing 30-40lbs will correct it for the majority of people grinding. CPAP helps immensely as well.

NZ police hiring process is pretty selective. They encourage you to have a higher learning degree to fallback on if you get taken out physically. On top of that they select for personality traits and culture fit so they end up with quite a homogeneous group of people. (And no, that does not mean all white..)

My run ins with them are generally pretty decent, mj isnt legal in nz but if they catch you they're generally more annoyed youre not doing it at home. Because then they have to write you up.

Australian police are much more americanized, theyre far more interested in catching people out with sniffer dogs at train stations and the like. NZ you dont see this sort of thing because criminalizing drugs is well proven to be ineffective.

I would say the major difference is that nz cops arent armed by default. Their guns are locked in the boot of their car and takes some serious circumstances to get them drawn.
