As the article says (but I initially overlooked it) it was discovered in 1972.

Instead of actually reading that, I went looking for the oldest scientific reference, and finally found a Wikipedia entry in French that said:

"En 1972, le physicien français Francis Perrin découvre à l'usine d'enrichissement militaire de Pierrelatte les traces de ce phénomène dans de l’uranium provenant de la mine d'uranium d’Oklo exploitée par la Compagnie des mines d'uranium de Franceville (Comuf). Il s'agit des seuls réacteurs nucléaires naturels connus au monde à ce jour."

What if it was the "copy" you owned? I only have my own set of conscious experiences. My set is not the same as the clones. When people seriously argue this, I start to wonder if they are bots or NPC's that somehow have no conscious experiences. It is clear to me that if I had a clone, I would be just as attached to the idea of this instance of me staying alive--in fact I could have 1000 clones in space now. They are cold comfort to me.
No, the cynical take is "because they need funding".
Can you provide some more information about MAPS?
I disagree. It's just a matter of habit. I spend 30 min doing some language learning exercises every day and have broken my "streak" maybe 10 times over 2 years. Missing out on 10 days is insignificant. There have been weeks where I felt like I should quit. Reading a book sounds relaxing compared to that.

I often have to pluck out attributes from streams of json records (1 json object per line) - often millions/billions.

jq is almost always the bottleneck in the pipeline at 100% CPU - so much so that we often add an fgrep to the left side of the pipeline to minimize the input to jq as much as possible.

The advertised phone is a phone with full GNU/Linux that is as customizable as desktop computers are. So it's almost what you want. A video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH3RbrwhNd8 (not Librem 5 yet, but another GNU/Linux phone).
Orca-strated, surely?
jq is pretty fast in my experience. But there have been cases where I've wanted it to be faster (dealing with a 90GB JSON file).

The main weakness seems to be streaming use cases (not having the whole file in memory at once). These are supported, but the syntax is quite awkward.
You need to be an elitist to object to someone building a PC in a way that doesn't work and voids warranties and then fixing it during jump-cuts without telling the viewer?

The fundamental problem is that those laws exist to protect vulnerable workers, but they also inadvertently affect non-vulnerable workers. Someone should not have to work for less than minimum wage because they have less bargaining power than a corporation. On the other hand, if someone has a full time job with benefits and wants to drive for Uber in their spare time for nothing more than the price of wear and tear on their car, morally, they should be allowed to in my opinion. Hypothetically, if Bill Gates wanted to drive for Uber for free, he should (morally) be allowed to, right? If so, then we would agree that there exists some group of people that should be allowed to waive those rights. It's just a question of how large that group is and on what criteria people are a part of it.

What I can't figure out is how to allow non-vulnerable workers to waive those protections without affecting the vulnerable workers. The non-vulnerable workers come with a lot of cost advantages, which makes them more appealing than the vulnerable workers and creates pressure to make the non-vulnerable conditions the new "normal". Or worse yet, the jobs would only be available to people who already have primary employment (further reinforcing class discrepancies).

Hello community! I've created a puzzle game to train logic and memory with 450 handcrafted levels. How many levels can you complete? ;)

Play Store - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playrea.tr...

Challenge yourself in two addictive game modes:
"Classic" mode trains logic. The player must think a few steps ahead before every swipe to reach the exit with a limited number of moves.

"Explorer" mode trains memory as the player sees no obstacles at the beginning of each level. Therefore, first he must explore the labyrinth, find and remember many different wrong routes and find the only one correct way to escape.

I'd love to hear your feedback about my game!

Sounds like a good idea. It might be harder to delineate when a heatwave is worthy of being named, but I'm sure the Met office (or the equivalent across the Atlantic) can manage it.

That said, I'm not convinced that giving it a name is enough to make people consider it dangerous.
Ok. So they seem to think that RISC-V is safe from US sanctions.

I am not a fan. We’re heading to naming all the major weather which happens often and is just going to desensitize people.

The NOAA already doesn’t recognize winter storm names and I would expect them to use the same rationale for not naming heat waves, cold waves or any other extreme weather events that don’t bring destruction. (Not arguing against the danger of heatwaves).
Very droll.

Perhaps 'implemented' would be better.

But to claim imperial measurements were key to implementing a very short powered heavier-than-air flight (lots of qualifiers, given myriad successful flights had occurred prior) is a stretch.

You would have considerable choice; it would be quite obvious whether they'd been on a separate evolutionary trajectory for billions of years or not. That's still the boring outcome, though; not related to us at all would be far more interesting.

Well I think what it means is when it comes to Chinese companies they would be treated as China has treated western countries, whereas nobody is forcing Spotify to be sold to a US company. You can tackle these issues globally and then treat China specifically since it’s clear that 20+ years of being a good actor resulted in not the outcome the west wanted.
Absolutely - let me retrospectively adjust the panspermia 'a few billion years ago' to include potentially quite recent cross-fertilisation.

In any case it makes it much less interesting, as it implies same origin.

I'm not sure you can teach critical thinking. In my experience, people are mostly "born" with it... or not. I say this as a former academic philosopher who actually taught "critical thinking" classes at the university level. They amounted to a hodgepodge of subject-specific wisdom collected under a generic title. (I didn't design the courses but merely adopted the preexisting curriculum and textbooks.)

In general, individual students vary widely in their receptiveness to education of any kind. A lot of them are just "seat fillers" who barely pay attention and are only there out of fear of the negative consequences of nonattendance. It's incredibly difficult to get through to them. In this world where information is easily available everywhere, at your fingertips, ignorance is a deliberate choice.

For those wondering: the extra squares are D0, E0, D9 and E9.

All are occupied by giraffes at start of play (https://www.giraffechess.com/giraffe-chess/).

Giraffes are (1,3) leapers (that’s in conflict with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe_(chess), where that’s called a camel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_(chess) )

Pawn promotion on ranks 1 and 8 can’t be to a giraffe; to have that option, promotion has to happen on row 0 or 9.

Draws are rare (I don’t think they’re completely avoided. End games with just two kings still could be a draw) because a king move onto one of the opponent’s extra squares wins, because what formerly was a stalemate now is a loss for the player to move, and because there’s a 50 move rule which says a piece must be captured at least every 50th move.

Maybe. Maybe not. Introducing new hardware comes with its own logistical issues (from validation of which tablet to choose and figuring out if it even works with the hardware teachers are using, to purchasing, to distribution and training of teachers, to tech support, etc.). It's something that has to be thought through and managed. Given how fast the entire society had to pivot to remote learning, it's also unfair to expect everyone to have it figured out. Maybe Wacom tablets DO make sense, but how the heck do you just figure that out when you're scrambling to just get the basics sorted out? Also, I'm not sure there would be an improvement.

... And you don't even know if this is a problem you need to solve. Did you do an analysis to see if a) this is a wide-scale problem and b) that an expensive hardware solution is the actual answer versus, say, shipping an extra webcam that teachers can position in any way they want, or shipping a cheap plastic clip with a mirror that replicates what this teacher did.

EMT Automation Smart Pump controller A better alternative to floating switch
Every Man technologies is a solutions company that build hardware solutions. We noticed the stress associated with pumping water to your home water tank especially in areas where power is very unstable like in most parts of Nigeria, where also access to clean reliable water is unavailable as most homes depend on bore holes or reservoirs. We built a smart pump controller that automatically detects when the water in the tank is low and start pumping water automatically, then stops the pumping machine when the tank is full. The device also protects the pumping machine from power surges that are capable of destroying the pumping machine.

I wouldn't be so universal with this statement.

Some cryptosystems really do need uniform randomness (ECDSA) rather than just negligible probability of choosing values. Other cryptosystems depend on not reusing values, though the values could be predictable. Sometimes there are subtle shifts in these needs based on modes (AES/CBC vs AES/GCM is a good example).
