That's the great thing about cyber attacks: all you need is one person putting one USB in a port for 30seconds, years before d-day and you're there. Easier to hide than a bomb, more reliable than any human agent, more reliable than spec ops, and totally deniable.
There is actually a very good reason why many people have already replaced fish consumption with algal farms: bioamplified and persistent environmental pollution, particularly mercury. The only unique nutritional value of fish is in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which the fish get from algae. This is commonly marketed as "Algae EPA DHA" at very large markups (I pay about $20 for two months' supply at my local rich people organic food store).

What can we learn from sexaplication on nuclear power plants?
Not true. You can write code for the PineTime, on the PineTime.

You just haven't learned about this yet.
I had reduced mobility for months, many years ago.

Even though I was already aware of just how difficult it would be to get around, living through it gave a shocking amount of perspective.

Some of the disability accommodations (disability parking) were pure bullshit. Elevators and ramps were godsends.

A large, standing shower without steps and room for a stool were musts.

A taste of what’s to come, when I get older. I don’t really see any real solution either, other than prepping.
That's not how predictions work though. He didn't come up with them by flipping coins.
It is relative though. A million users to Google is like 10 users to us, right?
I agree with your analysis above -- a lot of the causal claims trying to connect <8hrs sleep to bad health outcomes are pretty dubious. People shouldn't worry about their lifespan or dementia or whatever. "Why We Sleep" unfortunately seems to have serious flaws.

However I really do maintain that the anti-sleep attitude is much more common. There is always huge pressure in schools, the workplace, social life to cut into sleep.

I think the reason "Why We Sleep" became so popular without facing much scrutiny is because many people were facing these pressures and desperate for some countervailing authority to point to.
> A possible direction for future exploration would be to use the rustc driver API to create a custom static analysis tool that could recognize some form of syntax for this and then check that "explicit" functions don't accidentally call "non-explicit" functions without explicit overrides, much like unsafe.

By “some form of syntax”, it could be as simple as an attribute. Those are easily consumable by rustc plugins* or even proc-macros.

#[explicit]
fn my_explicit_fn() { ... }

If traits could be implemented on functions, you could even pull it off with a proc-macro-derive: no need to use a custom rustc binary for that. Your proc-macro just scans all the function calls made within said function and then adds something like:

unsafe impl Explicit for my_explicit_fn
where
fn_called_from_my_explicit_fn: Explicit,
other_fn_called_from_my_explicit_fn: Explicit
{}

You’d need to enable the trivial trait bounds feature for something like the above to work.

Cool ideas. I’d love to see rust become flexible enough that people are able to experiment with more things like this without having to hack at rustc’s source code.

* outdated terminology, but I think conceptually you still do this sort of thing with a plugin-like system.

I don’t really know much about game emulation so I was curious about what differentiates this FPGA game project vs traditional CPU emulation.

From their github page [1]:

>Traditional emulators on CPUs execute code sequentially. This is a tricky method of emulation because real hardware has many chips and all of them work in parallel...This requires a lot of CPU power to emulate even an old and slow retro computer. Sometimes even a modern CPU working at 100 times the speed of the retro computer is not enough, so the emulator has to use approximation, skip emulation of some less important parts, or assume some standard work of the emulated system without extraordinary usage.

> FPGA doesn't need high frequencies to emulate retro computers; it works at much lower frequencies than traditional emulators require. Since everything in FPGA works in parallel, it is no problem to handle any possible usage of the emulated system.

I personally like this definition, from one of Lois Mcmaster Bujold’s books:
“ Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.... The friction tends to arise when the two are not the same....There is no more hollow feeling than to stand with your honor shattered at your feet while soaring public reputation wraps you in rewards. That's soul destroying. The other way around is merely very, very irritating.”
The better takeaway is that napping is awesome! Moving work time into nap time resulted in a net productivity increase! That's amazing.

If you consider taking 30 minutes of a 6 hour shift to nap, that means they have to be 10% more productive for the 5.5 hours after the nap. I'd suspect hawthorne here, even though it didn't show up in the night treatment group, but it would be interesting to see if this productivity increase is sustained in the long run.

>In contrast, short afternoon naps at the workplace improved an overall index of outcomes by 0.12 standard deviations, with significant increases in productivity, psychological well-being, and cognition, but a decrease in work time.

Time spent napping >> time in bed. They're sufficiently exhausted by mid-day to get higher quality rest than they would by spending the same time in bed.

If you're tired, you're better off getting up at your normal wake time, then taking a nap later.
Hasn't Facebook effectively killed PC VR anyway? (discontinuing the Rift S, forced FB logins, and focusing on closed-platform mobile VR)
I read some of the old United Aircraft Corporation reports about the nuclear light bulb reactor the other weekend. The design parameters are delightfully extreme. You can see why it wasn't tested in later years. By the 1970s there was already much diminished tolerance for experiments that ejected fission products into the environment, and effective release prevention for testing this design would be expensive.

Here's one of the reports, from 1969: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/85241637.pdf

Some highlights from this report:

- The fully gaseous core would operate at a pressure of 200 atmospheres. This is somewhat higher than the pressure in a pressurized water reactor core.

- The vapor/plasma fuel temperature would be 42000 Rankine. That's about 23300 Kelvin, roughly 4 times as hot as the surface of the Sun.

- The fiberglass pressure vessel was projected to last about 6000 seconds (100 minutes) of full power operation before its strength was compromised by neutron irradiation.

- The preferred fuel was uranium 233, which does not exist to any considerable degree in nature. It has to be bred from thorium. Since U-233 never had significant use in civil or military nuclear applications, the US has not produced any U-233 since the 1980s [1]. Highly enriched uranium 235 or plutonium 239 would also work, just not as well. All fueling options needed "bomb grade" fuel purity. That was the only way to make the reaction zone so compact.

Other details that I recall from other reports -- sadly not ready to hand:

- Later iterations of the design kept thinning the quartz envelope to maintain adequate transparency to UV radiation after accounting for color centers induced by radiation damage. This required aggressive/optimistic estimates of how perfectly pressure could be equalized on both sides of the envelope, particularly during start-up.

- The optimal core fuel temperature would have been even higher except that it was difficult to find materials that would be adequately transparent to even shorter ultraviolet radiation.

- Fission products were supposed to be separated from the fuel centrifugally before the fuel recirculated into the reaction zone. This seems chemically optimistic to me.

- There was little consideration of chemical factors in any of the reports I read. Given that the environment was extremely hot, rich in fluorine, and would soon contain most elements of the periodic table from fission products, this seems like an oversight. One that would probably be testable only by actually building and operating test reactors.

VR by itself is probably a thing. There are times when you want an immersive experience such as gaming or virtual exploration. But I expect it's a niche. I'm not wearing VR to your virtual meeting.

AR, in the inobstrusive/genuinely useful sense is harder but seems far more interesting. Yes, there are social factors to deal with as well, but I can certainly see worn information displays becoming a thing.

As I understand it, fishing is a very important part of the UK & IE identity. I guess similarly to firearms in the US or labor protection in France (I'm French). It doesn't matter how small a part of the economy it represents, it's still a highly emotional topic. This explains why politicians go to great lengths to protect the fishing industry there.
The fact that a private company has been so successful so far at making this a viable commercial product is very new. Science that never goes anywhere beyond publication in one of those Elsevier-owned journals not very interesting to me because there's not much you can actually do with it.

Yes, it will be many years before Neuralink's devices are available to me. But this is definitely a step closer than something you can only dream about when you read one of those stuffy academic journals.
I believe VMs are not just for security - it might be the only way to run completely different operating systems (like macos on linux, or linux on windows, etc)

Additionally, VMs might be a great help to complicated debugging. You can crash a VM without taking down your desktop. I'm not sure about things like kernel debugging, but it might be easier in a VM.
Respectfully, ubuntu touch is a terrible OS. When people ask for convergence on a phone they want a normal desktop Linux OS not an Android knockoff that can run some X11 apps.

You're mixing developing and distribution. You don't need any (meaningful) signing to develop for Android and not even for iOS (although testing is harder there). App signing comes in only when end-users are installing your apps.

As for malware installation on Librem, that is a separate question. If you don't give apps root access and only install from the repos, you're about as secure as on Android or iOS. Once you start installing from unknown sources, however, it's true that you're screwed - but that's because of the permission system, not signing.
It is indeed an amazing project, especially its open source nature. It provides some impressive power savings and latency reductions that are very hard to match with general purpose CPUs.

But in most cases, it is emulation, as the lead developer will attest.

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Why-FPGA

"From my point of view, if the FPGA code is based on the circuitry of real hardware (along with the usual tweaks for FPGA compatibility), then it should be called replication. Anything else is emulation, since it uses different kinds of approximation to meet the same objectives. Currently, it's hard to find a core that can truly be called a replica – most cores are based on more-or-less functional recreations rather than true circuit recreation. The most widely used CPU cores – the Z80 (T80) and MC68000 (TG68K) – are pure functional emulations, not replications. So it's okay to call FPGA cores emulators, unless they are proven to be replicas."

But there's nothing wrong with emulation for preservation, until we get to a point where we can wide-scale clone these older chips down to the transistor level through analysis of delayered decap scans. And even then, emulation will be useful for artificial enhancements as well as for understanding how all those transistors actually worked at a higher level.

It's also not a total solution: by taking many more transistors to programmatically simulate just one, it limits the maximum scale and frequency of what it can support. N64/PS1/Saturn has not yet been fully supported and is still theoretical, but likely, to be possible. Going beyond that is not possible at this time.

Software emulation and FPGA devices should be seen as complementary approaches, rather than competitive. The developers of each often work together, and new knowledge is mutually beneficial.
I don’t think any of us can condone piracy, but I think like has often been the case the EU is scoring an own goal here.

The problem is that big companies with streaming services will be able to support this, but any new up and coming streaming service will not. This means that potential EU based startups in this space will have yet another reason to avoid the EU and instead go somewhere else.

I think there needs to be some kind of middle ground where a company shows best effort within their current capabilities financially.
Generally unionization of an organization fails when the union does not make a sound benefit case for their presence or the company already provides wages and benefits that meet or exceed the local market.

Contrary to what folks seem to think, unionization is not always a “no brainer”. Been through two orgs that went through the process, considered joining one because they presented a good case, rejected one because there was no value to the $50 the wanted to pull from my paycheck.

The comment above was specifically about aimbots, i.e. cheats that mimic a person. Such cheats can be hidden from the system well enough for it to not know there is a program controlling the input. I'm not saying all kinds of cheats can stay 100% undetected and functional with enough effort on the hackers' side, that's obviously false.

Maybe I misread the conclusion of the study, but it seems obvious that presenting pictures of beaches next to coronavirus articles is going to create a negative association (overestimation of risk) with beaches.

It brings to mind the guy who stalked beaches in Florida with the reaper outfit. It’s absurd and foolish in retrospect. Especially now that sunlight seems to be proving to be extremely potent at deactivating the virus.

I suspect the larger issue is that most people overestimate their risk of severe illness wrt sars-cov-2 more generally beyond the risk of catching it in specific places, and would be interested in seeing any work around assessing that.

Used for eosinophilic conditions generally, including eosinophilic asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia. Eosinophilic conditions - white cells too active, without a real cause; our immune system (innate immune system I think I can say) gone wild as if a pathogen is present, but there isn't. (Or, in the case of COVID-19, too active not necessarily in the right places during an actual infection.) These conditions are very frequently missed, misdiagnosed or mistreated. They are not what your doctor first thinks about, but the modern explosion of inflammation has changed patient demographics dramatically since the time when your doctor was trained.

And the conversion rate is good at quantifying how much actual influence a person has. Which may be less than they think.

How much influence a typical YouTuber with 10k subscribers have? Very little, actually - they can affect audience's thinking in a limited domain, or get them to buy some stuff to a limited degree. All restricted to how much a cohort of volunteers cares about what their entertainers tell them.

Contrast that with a person wielding a $100. They can literally get someone to do almost anything for them for a couple of hours. Or, in general, they can exchange it for $100 worth of goods and services provided by an industrial civilization. That's what hard influence looks like.

None of these technologies allow you to exceed the available bandwidth. They just make use of the shared bandwidth more efficient. It's still a shared medium.

Where I live, a lot of people have 3G internet because mobile data is pretty cheap and the companies advertise it as an alternative to cable. And now they all have really crappy internet. In the evening when everyone watches youtube you get a fraction of the advertised bandwidth.

With fibre, every customer gets the full spectrum. And since the frequency of light is a lot higher than radio frequency, you also get a lot more bandwidth. At radio frequency we're already hitting the physical bandwidth limits; with optical transmission there's still a lot of bandwidth left.

Thinking that radio frequency transmissions are an alternative to cable / fibre is pretty short sighted thinking. Data usage is going to grow, more devices are going to use data, and wireless transmission is going to seriously limit us.
But is ~20 minutes really such a deal breaker? For secure person to person payments, this really seems good enough. The network doesn't need to facilitate high frequency trading or something.
> There is also in TLS something called pre-shared key (PSK) authentication, which is a way to handshake without certificates, but client and server have to share a password instead.

It is imperative to understand that passwords are not suitable for a TLS 1.3 PSK.

I even ran into this with some people working on CMP in LAMPS ("Limited Additional Mechanisms for PKIX and S/MIME" the poor group left with the work that couldn't be avoided entirely to fix problems in PKIX and/or S/MIME)

No, you can't just run the password through PBKDF2 and consider that good enough. If you really need password authentication, you need an actual password based authentication mechanism, do not try to jury rig PSKs.

A lot of it is Android, yes. A regular build run will involve kotlin annotation processing, kotlin compilation, java annotation processing, java compilation, AAPT2, dexing, sometimes d8/r8 if you're in release mode, as well as a whole host of various processes that you can forget about until it hits you with a build error that will have you puzzled for a few hours.

If we assume that there exists information about you, what is privacy if not censorship of your private information? Given this assumption, the saying must then be true, and privacy is untenable.

However, that assumption is not necessarily true. As one measure, we can make it illegal to store information about everybody in the first place (GDPR, etc.). As a second measure, we can design new (or resurrect old) networking protocols and systems which by design, and provably, can’t know too much about everyone; decentralization is the usual term for these.

TEDx Video: What makes for a strong town?
I think this "the dog that didn't bark" phenomenon may be a much more important phenomenon than meets the eye. People's perception of the world is a function of their observations of reality - for starters, the vast majority of people don't even have any exposure to things like police data (other than the typically misleading narratives that they might encounter in the news), but then even the small majority of people who do dig deeper into the details, these people too will leave with a distorted perception of reality if only a subset of the data is revealed, and they do not know that it is only a subset.

The end result of all of this complexity is that people think the world is one way, but it is actually another, and the vastness of the gap between the two could be anywhere from small and insignificant, to gigantic and crucially significant, if one applies this idea to not just police data, but everything (the entirety of reality is subject to this flaw, and many others that we do not realize).
Yes thats exactly it. the problem was in OKR setting and expectations. The PMs got unfairly rewarded for things that didn't matter. Android releases on a regular cadence and I think just meeting the release deadline with some set of namable new things was enough to receive the bulk of performance compensation. It didn't matter if app developers were still jumping through painful hoops to get Camera detection, usage, debugging, etc working across a highly fragmented ecosystem of chips and sensors. It wasn't part of the OKR to fix it, and it certainly wasn't fixable within an OKR planning cycle.
