Fresh Off Her Nobel Prize Win, Jennifer Doudna Predicts What’s Next for Crispr
For anyone not yet addicted to the opium of the people, here is your free psilocybin dose, enjoy.
The weird thing about the field is that a negative result should REDUCE the estimate of how likely something is. And yet, after P&F, people took it more seriously.
I think the effect will reverse after a while. Sure a lot of folk want remote jobs but there'll also be plenty of folk at Dropbox and following companies who want an office and will start looking elsewhere following covid.
They probably also check for movements, blinks, etc.
In any case, it should be viewed as an help for the driver (beep when falling asleep), rather than something working against him. If you wan to actively fool the device, do as you please (the software is open-source, after all, you can probably fork it to disable that feature) but face the consequences: your life is on the line!
Qt offers something like this.
Good point. Children are animals.
Because that means not only you (the owner) can do it.

Also (caution, tangent): MCUs in cars is one of the systems where I want more encryption/signing and less hacking - especially for owners. Foremost to get rid of all the chip-tuned soot sources I am constanly driving behind.

The manufacturer knows how to control the engine, the random idiot with a laptop in 95% of the cases does more harm then good. If the manufacturer botched the MCU (hello VW), then he is held accountable. If he allows users to cause harm to the environment (chip-tuning), he should be held accountable too.
It doesn't unpublish it, but in the long run it sets up Twitter and Facebook as de facto deciders of what type of content is created. To the extent that newspapers rely on social media for traffic, the editorial decisions of those platforms will silently shape the content of those newspapers. It's the “hidden” aspect of this control that worries me.

The difference in the printing press analogy is that if a printing company won't print my poster, I can take it elsewhere.

Fantastic initiative and set up and presented in a nice, understated and sensible way.

I’m wondering if similar projects would work outside of the UK. As far as I know, the UK is pretty unique in the fact that basically all land is freely accessible by anyone, except when explicitly forbidden?

For example here in the Netherlands, basically anything that isn’t a public street is off limits, except when the owner of the land explicitly grants access.
It is very bad. It's is huge, 10x slower than good LCG's, and fails statistical tests, esp. it's lower bits, most wellknown by the Ferrenberg affair. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.06437.pdf

PCG is also not that good. There do exist proper and fast PRNG's though. DSFMT has the same problems as MT.
I'm just adding some of them to gsl and dieharder btw.
> Those parts can be safely 3D printed, as various metal sintering/remelting methods produce similar or better structural quality.

Wait, really? If that's true, colour me impressed. I would have put getting the creep resistance, fracture resistance, and tolerances necessary for turbine blades from 3D printing as just about impossible.

I'm conflicted by agreeing with systemvoltage's point, that it's overhyped, with knowing it is empirically wrong. Still, turbine blades? Wow.

Your run-of-the-mill criminal has some sort of profit motive and this seems like a very roundabout way to attempt extortion.

The level of evidence required increases with the audacity of the claim. That's because outrageous new physics is almost never the case, for the same reason that miracles or aliens are almost never (or just never) the explanation for something.
That tl;dr is interesting, but note that batteries are optimzed for a lot of things (eg. energy density for easy mobility, recharge rate, safety), while larger storage systems are a lot more optimized for efficiency.
But there is already a plethora of behavior altering pills. I am a fairly peaceful person. After a week long cortisone treatment due to allergy, I wanted to punch everyone in the face.

Compared to that an increase in trait openness seems fairly innocuous to me.

Furthermore, my doctor prescribes me cortisone fairly often, but after that first time I decided it's not worth it. So I don't think anyone can be forced to take psychedelics.
I really hope someone reached out to the NDA protected people working at FB/twitter to establish exactly where the bias lies.

Of course there are perfect RNG's. Some of them even quite fast.
Good PRNG's eg. do have no seeding problem as most bad LCG's.
Most iOS users have a positive experience not having access to compilers and multitasking, this is true of developers too.

I think keeping it legal that they cannot be sued based on user provided content should be changed to remove such protections if they are using it for political censorship of any kind. This is insane that we even need to consider to have a law for this. Companies come and go, it would equally be nice if we had no more bailouts, let them fail when they have to fail. On the other hand, I can see the value in large companies maintaining large bank accounts: in many cases it allows them to sustain their employee payroll in cases like COVID. I can't imagine what the unemployment rate would of looked like otherwise.

The point isn't about you being able to profit from the creation of a new fruit, the question is, how exactly this happens. If the grapes are patented, there is legal protection in place. However it is not clear, how an EULA on the grapes sold applies to this, if at all.
Then there is no twisted logic.

> What does Twitter know about how the materials in the laptop were obtained and their validity? Is it invoking a precaution ahead of time in blocking material that could be hacked? If so, Twitter has not bothered to say anything about it. For all we know, it could have been illegally obtained somehow.

Wouldn't the Post's claims that the data was obtained by hacking suffice? For as long as nobody is claiming in good faith that the data was not obtained through hacking, the Post's own claim should suffice; I think it is too burdensome for the onus to be on twitter to independently verify that for every case of this like.
For me its the opposite, I prefer the youtube version. The gif was way too fast and had to pause it several times because I was like "Hang on! what happened at this step?"
It is more amazing given that QuickJS is not a single feat but a cumulation of his older projects, each of them is great by itself:

- TCC [1]: Of course, QuickJS is not the first language implementation he's written.

- Pi calculation [2]: Once the world record holder (and opening the era of pi computation in commodity PCs), this surely inspired his next great invention:

- LibBF [3]: A good and small arbitrary-precision number library. I think LibBF is a byproduct of NumCalc [4], and he has probably seen a way to the full language implementation using LibBF later (the current version of NumCalc is indeed based on QuickJS, sharing the technique used in the current version of JSLinux [5]).

So wrapping the fruit in shrink wrap requiring you to sign a legal agreement to open it is next? Maybe if they suspect you ate without agreeing you have to provide a poo sample in a deposition? You can't go to a grocery store anymore without a lawyer? Who comes up with these crazy ideas?

Oh, yeah, lawyers.
It goes beyond that and into risk management, and how "material wealth" requires institutions to protect it.

Villagers in my area used to not only live in relatively inaccessible bits of mountain, but were also big on potatoes and cheese (which, like wine and especially schnapps, one could hide in the local caves). I'd made the connection between breeding multi-coloured goats and not-so-attractively-taxable before, but had never considered the tubers might have similar motivations.

Billboards at night should be forbidden. Period.

I almost had an accident when a billboard that was dark suddenly displayed a very bright image on my side. My body reacted moving suddenly the steering wheel as a reflex action.

At another one having some big image being moved actually made my eyes follow the movement instead of the road with cars on it. I had to make work in order to focus on the road and not the screen.

It also makes your eyes to loose your vision in the dark.

The problem is not hard, I'd even wager to say it's solved. Simply use a lot more filters, basically build big wastewater treatment plants (covered sedimentation tanks, [reverse]osmosis filters, last resort, use closed loops and fractionating columns [like the distillation towers at refineries]), it just takes a lot more energy.

Similarly we can make carbon-neutral concrete and steel, it just takes a lot lot lot more energy.

And we kind of dropped the ball on energy because of costs.

So now we are in a two or more front war for more and clean energy.

I recently came across a video of some middle Eastern guys digging a well using a similar technique. They added a little water down the well and repeatedly lifted and dropped a heavy pipe on it using an A-frame and a pulley. Was surprisingly interesting.
what exactly are you talking about? Read. nobody but you two are making it a race thing. It’s a simple question, why does the color black make something look intimidating. You said it first and now you’re trying to make it a race thing to avoid explaining why the color black is scary on a gun. If you can answer a non racial question about a color then perhaps you should grow up?

Let’s make this real simple for you two what makes a black gun more scary or dangerous than one painted pastel? A rational human would say there’s no difference. A gun is a gun. But you have a certain class of people claiming very interesting and dangerous things about the looks of items. It has nothing to do with color, nobody is overtly calling you a racist, it’s a question to find out why you think the way you do because maybe public education on why guns are black is warranted.
Google is using their power, money and influence to occupy another niche? They should stick to their search engine and ads and the rest of the company should be ordered to be broken up. They are too big and that gives them unfair advantage in the markets. At very least they should be ordered to pay tax in a way that any normal business pays it. It should also be calculated how much money they made using tax arrangements normal company couldn't afford to do and that money should be confiscated.
In the book the issue was that the sand around, and eventually under, the foundations washed out over time so the piers started to be effectively suspended from the bridge rather than supporting it. Rubble around the actual foundations were needed to defuse the drag of the water around the foundations, preventing the washout.

Top Ten Principles for Teaching Extensive Reading
I worked at a place trying to do roadside LED billboards (~2009 before they were common) and the rules about content (in the UK, at the time) were fairly strict - nothing animated, no cuts only fades even between distinct adverts, etc. From what I've seen of the fancy new ones, those rules seem to be mostly still around (in London anyway.)

Earth and Moon Once Shared a Magnetic Shield
Thank you so much, dang. I'm completely with you 110% that just throwing accusations this way is bad, and that it's also most likely a "I couldn't disagree more" leading people to a wrong conclusion about shilling and such.

What about the other side of it though? your reply didn't really address it.

What I feel is happening now is that in those situations (and others), people downvote and flag things that they don't agree with. They're not shouting "shills / astroturfing" yet the collective power makes it easy to silence opposing opinions, especially if those opinions are in a minority.

Completely anecdotal, but I reported to you two cases of flagged stories that in my opinion had value in them for the community (and in the discussions around them). Those stories were effectively silenced. I think it's a shame. There's no evidence require to flag or downvote, there's no requirement to even give an argument/reasoning for doing it.

Are there any plans to tackle this kind of behaviour in a similar way that empty/non-evidence-based claims of astroturfing and shilling is dealt with?

True, I haven't filled a report yet; will look into this next time, probably when ROS 0.4.14 is released.

Pro Tools, at least in its early versions, tends to show its moods even on a well-tuned Windows system. So I was almost sure that it won't run in ROS out of the box. I was actually surprised to see it installing so smoothly. My guess is that the driver for the audio interface (Mbox 2) needs some attention.
Plus there was an X Windows version that ran on Solaris. I'm sure making it work on Linux would have been quite possible had they wanted to.
