My understanding is that polygraphs “work” because people think they do. The machine _will_ catch you lying, so if you do, you get scared. Training to beat the polygraph mostly involves breaking this belief.

There are other ways, too. But even without it, the limited scientific evidence suggests that different polygraph operators show basically no agreement on analysing the outputs. It’s pot luck and gut feel, which, well, works somewhat, but the type 2 error is so big that it is an unfair tool to use.
> This problem isn't unique to Medium. Content itself performs optimally in the current web ecosystem when it is click-baity and stretched out

It's true of content where “performance” is based on driving attention, whether it's directly paid that way (Medium) or indirectly paid that way (anything advertising supported).

Content that is intended to “perform” by serving the interests of a direct audience or sponsors (direct subscriptions without ads, patronage model, nonprofit backed mission-oriented content not supported by ads, or, for that matter, most for-profit backed content published to support corporate interests rather than as a direct revenue source) doesn't share the problem, though some of those categories may have their own different performance-model based problems.
"If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything"

For me the whole branch of physics that deals with particle colliders is a big hoax. Quarks and other particles are simply too small, compared to the size of the sensors that we use to "detect" them. The output those sensors is basically just a static electricity noise, which physicists try to make sense of.

I think a lot of what's part of the drake equation is merited on overlap. It's entirely possible that other civilizations have been created and died out LONG before mammals even evolved.

IF you factor in just the last 200 years of human technological advancement it's plausible in another 200 we will have either destroyed ourselves or evolved into gods.

Either way we're not going to be talking to anyone in the universe.

I think it's plausible that a god would not want to talk to another intelligent civilization. Why would we? We would be to a god what bacteria is to us.

I don't really have a conversation with the bacteria infecting a wound. I just take antibiotics.

Rufus consistently for me for making a win10 USB using a Windows VM on a Linux host, after hours of trying with dd and other methods inside Linux. It's a ~2.5 mb executable which just works. And since you already have the win10 ISO to be flashed, making the VM isn't too hard.
Those are not the only two options.

Besides, we still routinely fail to spot asteroids until they get close to Earth or pass by.

There may be more dwarf planets like Pluto, or a major planet the size of Neptune (per Caltech researchers, so called Planet Nine or Planet X) in our own solar system and we can't easily find them.

I'd never have thought cancel culture would extend to Newton.

The thing is if we were only taking into account the contributions of saints according to contemporary moral standards, we would have empty libraries. If we're into building some comforting society in which human beings aren't complex, don't have flaws, don't make mistakes and there's an inherent morality in whatever you accomplish just because it's you who's done it (this decade's favourite non sequitur), well I'd say that's teen brain modal logic if I ever saw one and then excuse me, but I'll be protecting those libraries brimming with stuff written by evil evil people, because a world where that exists is more valuable to me than any project of safe paradise where it doesn't.
While I think this is really cool, and would have come in handy earlier in my life. Where I’m at now I don’t commonly install new OSes, and if I want to play with a new OS I’m more likely to do it in a VM. So the only time I really do a fresh install is every 5-8 years when I do a full new build.

This is a slick solution, but I think the average person it would be easier to just copy paste the files from the iso onto a usb and call it a day.

I'm afraid that doesn't follow at all.

Life requires an energy source and the only energy sources a rouge planet has, are leftover heat from its formation process and nuclear decay.

The energy released by geological processes is too localised and too little to allow for widespread higher lifeforms.

Even the comparatively active Earth doesn't generate enough heat on its own to keep its oceans liquid (e.g. 100mW/m² at the oceanic crust and <70mW/m² at the continental crust) or a gaseous atmosphere of any kind.

In order to generate enough heat to keep a liquid ocean and an atmosphere (both are required for higher lifeforms as of our current understanding), the planemo needs to be quite large or have at least one big moon in a close orbit.

The first case is very likely to generate an ice giant like Neptune or Uranus, both highly unlikely to harbour any kind of life.

The second case is probably very rare - the event that led to the ejection of the planet would've also affected any moons. In addition, close orbits either rapidly decay (see Deimos on Mars) with the moon crashing onto the surface within just a few million years; or they recede over time due to the exchange of angular momentum between the two bodies (see our Moon).

In conclusion, while planemos may indeed harbour microbial life in the form of extremophiles living in their crust, any multicellular life is very unlikely to have survived the ejection event and subsequent loss of a host star.

Formation of life on a free floating planet is very improbable and "super advanced" life requires stable conditions over billions of years and sufficient energy, which simply isn't available for the reasons mentioned above.

If I read correctly the they're saying they found that children have higher viral loads in their respiratory tracts. They are then making a very logical leap to assuming that this means children will more easily spread the virus. Is it possible that this assumption could be wrong?

Why is C++ getting bashed ? The compiler didn't second guess anything here. If he coded as a newbie or programmer from another language without navel gazing too much, he wouldn't have run into this problem. He deliberately made his code more complicated and paid the price for it.

Many times straightforward code is the best code. Value returns in C++ are already optimised, no need to add anything fancy.

> Can you explain why having to put "unsafe" before FFI calls is considered a problem?

I intentionally avoided taking a side in this debate. My response was focused on the claim that there was no compromise between the parties, when I think it's pretty clear cut that there is a compromise.

Personally, I'm sympathetic to both parties. In my own personal FFI-binding library I chose to let the programmer decide per-method whether it's safe or unsafe.

It's pretty clear that the artwork and the initial description of this movie was really disgusting. Regardless of the actual content of the movie, it seems like someone at Netflix might need to be visited by Chris Hanson if they thought that picture was appropriate. I think some of the outrage is that this movie seemed to be marketed to children/families, which makes the idea that the movie is criticizing the over-sexualization of children particularly ironic.

I also think that some of the backlash is that if you are criticizing sexualizing children, do you need to sexualize children? I haven't seen the movie, so this might be a great critique, but if it includes lots of kids in really inappropriate situations and clothes, it would make the message of the movie feel a bit hollow. Even in the times article, it mentions that there are going to be scenes of these 11 year old girls twerking. Are the scenes designed to shock, maybe, but it would make me feel very uncomfortable because, regardless of what they intended, in the end, the movie is actually sexualizing children.

things building on matrix-rust-sdk will get cross-signing shortly too, fwiw. but it seems to be missing the point to pick the most recent e2ee feature (cross-signing) which landed a few months ago, and complain that not all clients have implemented it yet? this thread was originally about e2ee in general rather than a specific subfeature. e2ee is a constant work in progress: for instance, we’ve just added fallback otk keys and device dehydration - but that’s landing first in matrix-js-sdk (thus element-web) and then everyone else will implement as fast as they can. Sorry if that isn’t fast enough for your personal requirements :)

Just priming an immediate availability response is likely going to get poor results.

On the other hand, this does bring up an important point, which is that few people have been systemically trying to figure out how to get it to reason through problems. For instance, if you try the pure completion on WiC you get 50% chance (like in the paper) but if you improve the prompt to self-context stuff you raise it to almost 70% (http://gptprompts.wikidot.com/linguistics:word-in-context).

Nonsense. The terms to google for are "boot ROM" or "XIP". Boot Roms execute from rom because all that is available at the time. XIP binaries run from NOR or ROM happily

With Windows you just copy paste the contents of the iso over to the usb. I just completed a ryzen build last week and expected to need special software to build a bootable usb. Microsoft’s documentation told me that I didn’t and to just format as NTFS, mark the partition active and copy/paste the iso.

"the great tools that have achieved widespread adoption understand the problems, and all their caveats, better than you"

Tools that get widespread adoption are mostly those that move quickly to add every little feature every manager/exec asks for in order to secure the contract.

Once they become incumbent, they become the standard, because managers are responsible for the 'big purchases'.

There's tons of very accepted systems that are 'not very good'.

This is the thesis of Bender 2020 https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.acl-main.463.pdf when evaluating GPT-2. They distinguish between meaning and form.

We don't _really_ know what the physical manifestations of meaning and form are in the brain... they're just concepts we invented.

If anything, GPT-3 is suggesting that either:

1. Tasks which were previously thought to require meaning actually turn out only to require form.

2. Meaning and form are more related than previously thought.

Both are interesting findings imo, but 2 would be huge, especially if it suggests how the brain might work. Could meaning be an emergent phenomenon of form?
Does that sort of approach ever effect your mood at work? I get why you might want to say that, but it comes across as super robotic and...inhumane?

Just curious, because I think of myself as being pretty sage but that sort of response would sit with me for awhile.
But here’s the thing:

A USB-c/Tb3 port can run a USB-a device, and it can run a hdmi device. It can do so using either active or passive adapter devices (“hubs” or “docks” or “dongles”) or it can do so via plain cables - USB-c to hdmi and USB-c to all manner of other USB port/plug types are very common and cheap.

But a USB a port can’t do anything but run a USB device. Ok some things can be tunneled over USB but it’s nowhere near as extensible as tb3, and doesn’t support alt mode like USB-c

A hdmi port is even more restricted and can do literally one thing. I’ve had Mac laptops for about 13 years. I can count the number of times I’ve connected one to hdmi on one hand. I could still count the number of times if I stuck that hand in a wood chipper, because the number is 0.

There is no conflict between (auto)cxx and the view that `unsafe` blocks assert the soundness of their contents. Using cxx does not, in fact, remove any `unsafe` blocks- thus it is not "lying," nor is it "the ultimate evil." (Such hyperbole makes productive discussion in this space rather difficult...)

Consider the (completely and utterly standard) practice of writing a safe Rust library wrapping a C++ library. To be sound, this crate has two obligations: First, its `extern {}` function signatures must match the C++ library's. Second, its public API must enforce any additional soundness invariants from the C++ library.

Ensuring that signatures match is tedious and entirely mechanical- automating it increases confidence that a program is sound! Crucially, there is more to signature matching than mere arity and type layout- C++ vocabulary types express ownership information that bindgen alone does not capture!

Cxx isolates all the auditing work related to C++ vocabulary types, like `std::vector` or `std::unique_ptr`. A single audit of cxx covers this aspect of all cxx-using crates. This is an enormous win if your goal is to integrate Rust with a large C++ codebase like Gecko or Chromium!

The kernel of truth to your argument lies only in that second obligation. As Ralf concludes in that same issue thread, the problem of generated `unsafe` blocks is not new to cxx, but a near-universal aspect of Rust/C++ bindings. The solution is not, and never was, to give up and hand-write a bunch of `unsafe` blocks.

Instead, the solution is simply to ensure that auditors can easily locate generated `unsafe` blocks and the soundness assertions they represent. A typical solution here (also mentioned in that thread) is to add "unsafe" to the macro name or input. (Dtolnay already plans to do this for cxx.) Personally, I would argue that this is not even cxx's failing, but a tooling issue- if we're going to use macros to generate bindings, then our auditing tools should see through those macros.
