Same here, but with Hyper-V on Windows.

Originally I did this because of bad performance and bugs in WSL 1. I hear WSL 2 is better but I already have it all set up and it works great for me so I've just kept it.
? So if someone gets defamed (me too entanglement) by someone else via Twitter it’s on Twitter and not the actual person who defamed the other?
I also think the argument isn't put forward in the best logical way, but for a different reason: another potential reason why aliens might not choose to come to visit us is that they physically can't: imagine a lifeform whose chemistry is based on liquid methane instead of water. They'd literally vaporize in Earth's atmosphere!

They could also operate on a completely different timescale. For example, shrews' metabolism is way faster than ours. Sequoias are way slower. There's no reason an alien should perceive time on the same scale we do.
> has no adverse effects

I used to think that too. And I still smoke ( hash, which is different ).

However, it does make me complacent, which sometimes make me endure situations I would otherwise change.
Can you restate your point in non programmer jargon? The downside is chronic health problems, the upside is minimal. Theres not much unwise about waiting for more info and staying cautious.
HIPAA regulates how healthcare providers handle patient data. It has nothing to do with other relationships.
Why stop there? Just zip yourself up in a body bag and die. Do you hate nature?
These vaccines were tested on tens of thousands of people, with no real life altering effects.

Sure, there can and will always be one-in-a-million outliers. But that's true about anything, including wearing a helmet.
So, am I right in my understanding that this is meant to add support for emojis not present in UTF8?
I don't use Twitter myself, but a lot of people do. So many, in fact, that you could argue that in a sense maybe it is. This notion is/was strengthened by the previous U.S. President using Twitter as (basically?) his sole media outlet.
The original title is "How we ported ...", less of an announcement, more of a story.
No. They can agree, not agree, have no opinion, have no consideration, not even see. They can also take the position that some things they really, really can't abide.
Jumping from the observation that a given term is of a philosophical nature (whatever that might mean) to the conclusion that it is "not real", hence "irrelevant" is a fallacy. Likewise, observing that not only exhibit A has property P but also exhibits C, D, and E is no proof that property P is irrelevant with respect to A.

"Democracy", "freedom", "the law", "the economy"—all of these terms are in the realm of Philosophy and are subject to philosophical discussion, as they ought; none of these is not highly relevant in a universal, everyday, hands-on sense. Likewise, that meat production is wasteful doesn't mean it's a good idea to add yet another wasteful item to a place characterized by finite resources.
Would an intelligent ant species living on an uninhabited island identify global warming and driftwood as conclusive evidence of the existence of a higher intelligence causing it?
I did something else: I don't have WA or messenger. If anyone wants to text me they should use Signal or SMS or e-mail.
For added easiness, outputting high-level language code instead of machine code is a "cheat" that is often good enough, and you can typically borrow a lot of the high level features with relatively little effort. Say you want to run a domain specific language in your program? Include V8, and write a compiler that turns the DSL into JavaScript. You get much better performance than a simple interpreter, sandboxing, and somewhat useful error messages.
Academia could be more involved in the creation of new internet protocols. And the activity of building FOSS software that enables more freedom (such as Mozilla's Firefox) should be valued more in academic circles.
What are they doing for video?
Note that the paper is just saying it fell vs trend - if the trend is +10% vs. last year, a local development could reduce that to say +8%. So both observations could be correct.
These are just truisms so no, I wouldn’t say they’re controversial.
> Why would any other country use it now?

For the same reason people were using it before. Everyone is on Twitter. A much, much smaller fraction are on Twitter-alternatives.

That said, I wish them the best of luck, as I hope alternatives are able to succeed in the near future.

How do clinical trials work for ML? Since the system is largely a black-box, I imagine that the slightest alteration (training on more data, tweaking any parameters) would require totally re-doing a full gamut of trials, wouldn't it?
Interstellar flight alone is not of interest. OTOH, it would allow earthlings to become visitors.

Commerce. If we use our experience as a basis here, this is the #1 interest that would lure alien explorers to this neck of the woods. Commerce is what got us to cross the Atlantic: looking for routes, buyers, suppliers, riches and land. All science-first approach ("they should come to study us") is so 20th century utopism.

But without really being sure what matters to aliens the most, commerce, tourism or science, makes it hard to lure them. We sent Voyager with curiosity in mind: songs, poems, language samples, pictures... But we could have sent instead a list/sample of our prime minerals, water supplies, preferred payment methods and our "1-800 number" for contact. Scientists can be so un-enterpreneurial sometimes!

Now, what then could get their attention and provoke a visit?

Become a menace.

Without really being sure what matters to aliens makes it tough to envision a way to get them really interested on the 3rd rock enough to launch a mission or send signals. So the most effective (and reckless...) is to become a menace, or at least a nuisance, to them. Fiction has played around with that idea, nuclear capability being the trigger that got them to notice or outraged enough to wipe us out...

Let's say we develop a gravitational wave cannon capable of making Sirius shoot over as a billiard ball into Procyon. Oh, now that would get their attention!

At the agency where I work we have about 40-50 somewhat active projects at any time. Any given week I work with maybe 3 to 10 of them.

It saves so much time to just pull down the repo, run "docker-compose up" and have everything running, almost exactly the way it's running in production. With the right node or php version, databases, Elasticsearch, Redis etc.
Both the author and the publisher are responsible.
Birth control is not an example of genes being our enemy, it is an example of us being our genes' enemy.

And "us" is not really the right way to characterize this because our genes are part of "us". It is more like "the part of us that sees value in technological civilization in its own right" vs "the part of us that sees value in being the biological creatures we call humans". The fact that these concepts don't have names is one indication of just how far off the radar this idea is.
Highly recommend checking this course out. Took me 3 hours to learn how to create a website widget from scratch, using Bubble
Maybe- but that didn't change in the days leading up to inauguration. Or even since the pandemic began.

I haven't seen anyone in media seriously attack the claim itself. Which shows that political cost wasn't really a concern (even if the Biden admin didn't like the timing of the statement).

Again, if it was personal / selfishness, pre-election or earlier would have made more sense.

Even as far back as being a distraction from the (1st) impeachment would have been high benefit, low/no cost.

People are quick to presume the worst with Trump's motives for a particular action, without necessarily thinking what the preferred/likely action would be, given a particular motive.
It worked initially for me just minutes ago (but many hours after you saw the error), then I click a "More..." link in the top paragraph, got a 500, and now Abdominals are never to be found again. Every other muscle I used to try and repro works fine. Never did get abs to work again.

Imagine making it your life's goal to destroy other people's legal product because you don't like how a small group of others are using it.

The technologists of our society have so much potential to work on important tasks for humanity that far outweigh one person trying to make his own social media site.
Okay, I am familiar with prism.

However, the context of this thread is to compare the relative security of Apple iMessage and iCloud backups with what happens to those messages when they are exfiltrated by Beeper.

I do not see the existence of Prism belying the practical expectation of security Apple users get from iCloud and iMessage.

It doesn’t make the point that beeper’s service has a similar level of security.

But to your point, some apple iMessage users will unknowingly have their data shared with a third party if the recipient is using beeper and doesn’t tell them.

Which makes having a friend quietly using beeper a bit like having a prism inquiry.

Creating comic book speech bubbles with SVG and JavaScript
Show me the team that's using vanilla JS, I'd like to sign up.
This is very standard in industry (as opposed to academia) and highlights a lot of the reasons why you need ML specialists operating these models, and why you will get garbage in garbage out if you try having non-specialist engineers build, evaluate & operate these types of systems.

For example, in this post the engineer does not adequately handle class imbalance at all, and reaches for a hugely complicated model framework (XGBoost) without even trying something like bias-corrected logistic regression first.

I think this post is just an example of an infra engineer thinking “ML is easy” and when their quick attempt doesn’t work, then just bailing and saying “ML is overhyped and doesn’t work for my problem.”

Website Prototype without a Programmer

Well how about I tell you the stories I can tell, for free?

I have to go get a car battery replaced, but when I come back, I'll share a few tales.

Sometimes, I would stare into the Reactor Compartment through the glass (there's a large-ish - around 6" - 8" if I recall correctly) porthole that allows you to look right into the reactor compartment at the nuclear reactor. I never stared for long... maybe 5-10 seconds at most, but staring at nuclear fission occurring is truly an awesome experience.

There's no Cherenkov radiation emitted, so you're just staring through glass at a bunch of metal, but you still know its occurring... and that was enough for me.
This is what fascism looks like.
Since they're lighter weight it's easier to run more of them. Think of a place with 7-8 different applications, a few different DBs to support them, redis, elastic search, etc. You can spin up a mirror of your production environment with one command. Theoretically you can do the same with VMs but it will consume a lot more resources.
How about let the users decide for themselves who to follow or block?

Amoebas can propel themselves, and if you drop them in one corner of a lake, I can guarantee you that they will explore it to find food and reproduce.

Bacteria don't have scientific progress, but because they reproduce rapidly, they also evolve very fast compared to us. Some of them can even exchange genetic material with each other (!). This is a way for them to exchange "knowledge" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilus).

I can guarantee you that if you observed amoebas under a microscope for a while, you would realize that these are more sophisticated little machines than you think.

> "largest genomes belongs to a very small creature, Amoeba dubia. This protozoan genome has 670 billion units of DNA, or base pairs. The genome of a cousin, Amoeba proteus, has a mere 290 billion base pairs, making it 100 times larger than the human genome."
You seem to be conflating "protected" with "requiring diligence before action is taken". You simply can't fire someone for being in a protected class. No amount of "process and chain of command, etc" is going to change that. It's not like you can't be fired by a manager willy-nilly for being black, but if it goes all the way up to the CEO it's totally fine.

Good! Intel need Engineers back at the helm. Too long it was run by bean-counters.

I'm not a big fan of Intel, but this type of news makes for exciting possibilities from Intel again.

Though the performance per watt of the M1 I type this on, is going to take some beating.
Same here, though in my case i assume it's mock (hopefully?) insult in a few Indian Telegram groups where I'm the oldest member by about 2 decades. "Unkill" is the phrasing and "boomer" is most assuredly the implication.
> Those gangways look nice. They could make them look like normal jet bridges

Nod. And given the difference in duty cycle from supply ships and oil rigs, they might be mounted on the rig rather than the boat. Removing the "it has to fit folded up on the ship" constraint. And with luggage perhaps containerized onboard the ship, the containers would need to be transferred too.
I'm not sure why this is here. This seems like an unconstructive rant to me.
Scotland should kick them out as well.

Also I find it kind of hilarious how many people who hate Brian Krebs go out of their way to comment on his website. “Free speech” warriors don’t seem to understand freedom to associate or free markets.

De-platforming violent extremists works. We should keep doing it. And shame any company willing to work with violent extremists.
So this is super awesome if true and I hope they can use the technique for other cancers.

I'm curious though, my bf says his doctor asks if he wants a PSA at his checkup. His doctor then goes on to explain that pretty much all men eventually get prostate cancer and there's not much you can do about it and you're far more likely to die of something else first so, not really much reason to get the PSA

Anyone have any other info? Is there actually treatment and is it worth while?
Computers used to be a "commodity of commodities". The motherboard was made by one manufacturer, the memory was made by another one, the CPU by a different one, etc. etc.

Unless a competitor controls and owns their supply chain like Apple does, I don't see how they can compete; they need those "established norms" otherwise they won't be able to find commodities that work with their final product.
Oh keep telling yourself that. As President he was the literal head of the Republican party. Also as we've seen, the party is so afraid of him they can't even denounce a literal violent insurrection he started. Trump and the GOP are one, and it's not good for the GOP or America.
Ron Guilmette sounds like a real freedom fighter. Good for him. People should not abuse LACNIC
You are massively confused. All human beings on earth are members of protected classes.
Furthermore, foreign governments are not a protected class.

And being a member of a protected class doesn't mean you can't be banned for terms of service violations. You are just throwing legal sounding words together like a random word generator.
This feels like a case study in how to take an anti fragile system, and just make it fragile.

As much as it is a bunch of small paper cuts to support varied developers, you are more resilient to a big shift.

RISC-V is a real option today. In fact, it has been a real option for awhile now.

To provide just two quick examples:

- https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15594

- https://www.cnx-software.com/2020/12/20/esp32-c3-wifi-ble-ri...

Since Raspberry Pi was going so far as to make their own silicon, they definitely could have opted to include a RISC-V design instead of an ARM design. They simply chose not to.

RISC-V would have made this product an instant buy in my books, but there are numerous Cortex-M0+-based microcontrollers and microcontroller boards out there already.

The Pi Pico is appealing because of all the documentation and the ecosystem that is sure to develop around it, so I'm not here to claim that this product won't be wildly succesful, but the M0+ is just not the choice I would have expected them to make. RISC-V seems like it would have aligned much better with the Raspberry Pi Foundation's mission.

In fact, if they had chosen to integrate the ESP32-C3 into this product instead of their custom silicon, people would be receiving RISC-V, WiFi, and Bluetooth -- and you can imagine how beneficial that would be. The ESP32-C3 is supposed to cost around $1, so it's not like it would have been outrageously expensive or something.
Interview Question from Elon Musk Is Absolute Genius
Literal whataboutism. Be glad to hear which Obama pardons you don't like, I might even agree. The Clinton pardons, particularly Marc Rich, are a better source for evidence of corruption from a Democratic president though.
This exploit is about loading your own code to, and reading existing code from, a locked (encrypted) ESP32 - which is pretty bad, as it lets someone with physical access to a device to replace firmware on it, but also if you store the same secret in flash of devices you ship, someone can take one of them and get the secret (potentially compromising them all). A single secret, shipped to users is never a good security architecture, as we have learned multiple times.

However, it's not like this breaks security of your hobbyist projects.

OTOH, the RP2040 doesn't even have flash encryption or secure boot. Which I guess makes sense, given that it looks like a first mass produced MCU designed specifically for education/makers/hackers.
There hasn't been time to test that yet.

But my amateur understanding is that while there are vaccines that don't fully eliminate transmission, they all do it to some degree, and on average the numbers are quite good.

Happy to be corrected by someone with actual knowledge!
The real story here I think is how LACNIC handled this.

Who in their right mind will do infrastructural internet business in Latin America going forward if some self-righteous American man can cause them to revoke IP:s assigned to your company?

There is no indication that this Russian internet provider - who claim they are operating in Belize - had a say in the revocation of this IP space.

Looking at the website of DDoS-Guard, it looks to me like a fairly normal internet provider with fairly normal customers.

I hope they buy IP space in other regions going forward, that have due process without causing disruption for their business and their customers.
Only about $30M worth of Bitcoin is issued daily.
So a $24B can buy up all issuance for about 24 months,

It was easier yet to move the price when Bitcoin was much cheaper.

Exactly, which is why one should use Matrix instead.
Perfect. Stay in your fucking bubble. Anyone who dissents to the Western propoganda lies must be a CPC propagandist? Impeccable defense mechanism, ensures you never need to consider anything outside what they tell you to think. You're so duped by the press you believe is free, they have you believing that anything that goes outside the narrative is a lie. They have you self censoring, shackling yourselves, thinking you are free. They have you hook line and sinker, boy. Especially so because you think you live in panacea of free ideas. You cannot free a slave, who thinks herself already free, or who prefers the shackles on. I feel sad for you that you are unable to consider. Logic should tell you to distrust this stuff without extensive first hand experience of XJ, or at least experience of China. I'm sorry for you that you surrender logic to whatever this is that they did to you. I wonder how they got everyone believing that anything outside the narrative is a lie. They are truly masters of psychological manipulation and propoganda. The west really needs to improve its relationship with its populations. It's already abusive and currently teetering on the brink, and nobody really seems to know it. Nobody seems to see nor know how precarious its position is. It's sad to see, but I've seen it for a long time, so i suppose that makes it less painful for me.
> The pending disruption for DDoS-Guard and Parler comes compliments of Ron Guilmette, a researcher who has made it something of a personal mission to de-platform conspiracy theorist and far-right groups.

While this may solve immediate problems (such as the planning of unlawful or otherwise socially harmful events), we should consider the long-term impacts of de-platforming. Does censorship, even if justified, fuel anger and distrust, potentially increasing social conflict in the long-term?

Is it possible to bring fringe groups back into the fold of peaceful civil discourse, or are we simply throwing up our hands and declaring that some percentage of the population must always have their speech regulated? (I suppose this question applies for both social groups and for individuals.)
When people talk about "free" markets it usually means markets where these types of problems are effectively managed or mitigated, not "markets with no rules".

There's of course lots of debate about what the right policies to manage and mitigate these are but it doesn't mean that markets aren't a good mechanism just because there might be trade-offs or imperfect solutions.
