All due respect, I do not feel like you understand my concern.

"Improving the nutritional value" is exactly what I am railing against. The idea that we understand human nutrition in any quantitative way is not realistic. It involves attempting to reduce complex systems to a small set of things that we can understand (making the system more "legible") is dangerous and represents a huge failure of what James C. Scott calls "high modernism".

By the time that we figure out that one of the nutrients presented is harmful unless it is accompanied by mediators naturally present in real foods it will be too late to fix these processes.

Each DE can have slightly different paths, but in general find the file mimeapps.list. It's typically looked for in the traditional manner of /etc/, /usr/share/ and /usr/local/share/ and $HOME to find global, local and personal configurations. In your $HOME it's usually something like this:

~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
~/.config/mimeapps.list

In here you find the MIME type pointing at a .desktop file (app launcher), it's a matter of changing that. Mine for example related to using Firefox:

[Default Applications]
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox.desktop
x-scheme-handler/https=firefox.desktop

Find the .desktop file you want to launch and just update that bad boy. Most DEs have a GUI tool to manage this for you without having to resort to manual editing...

>This is not a feeling, but explicit statements by public officials

It is a feeling. How do I know? Because you use the vague phrase "public officials".

When people are talking about a group that is not specific, they are necessarily talking about feelings as facts don't constrain it.
If the poster meant “people legally designated as fathers” and was referring to, e.g., the presumption (conclusive in some jurisdictions) of paternity based on marriage at time of birth, its not completely senseless.
Plus as a lapsed-vegetarian I'm excited for lab grown meats even if there's an animal killed at some point in the process. It's impossible to choose a food without at least some harm. How many fish are killed by fertilizer runoff or damming for irrigation or whatever else is needed for all forms of agriculture?

I'm going to assume a non-zero amount. So my view is the aim with all ethics-based dietary choices with the motivation of avoiding harm to animals is basically to optimize for least animals killed per calorie per 'sentience' unit or whatever.

All food choices are inherently non-zero in animal suffering and I don't think it's reasonable to hold lab grown meat to any higher standard.
(not parent but also Italian)

First of all, Italy is a profoundly divided country geographically, to the point where the North and the South are almost operating as if they were different countries. Specifically, there are regions with unemployment numbers that are almost unbelivable for a first-world country: https://www.statista.com/statistics/778264/unemployment-rate....
The "Southern Question" ("questione meridionale") is a recurrent theme in the political discourse and has been so literally since Italy has been a country.

The lack of economic development in the South is also compounded by a very ineffective national welfare system, and, more generally, by an incredibly inefficient but very large public sector.

This is a hotbed for organized criminal associations, who are always ready to prey on corrupt local officials and widespread discontent.

Also bear in mind that the average Italian company is much smaller than the average American (or even German or French) company, which (aside from being in and of itself an economic problem) makes criminal schemes easier to set in motion, either directly or through corrupt politicians.

Another major issue is that criminal organizations have deep ties with the political power itself, to the point where such ties are referred to as "a pact": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-Mafia_Pact

As for the media issue, it's probably true that we know more about the Italian mafia due to its ties with American criminal organizations, but I don't feel one could say it's just media coverage, it's a massive problem, at least when compared with other European countries.
You can also ask the opposite. What's the reason for the recent rise in crypto prices? Speculators...

The main reason is that some speculators got scared and others are taking profits so they sell.
I agree in looking forward to it, but it is also possible that human taste and desire has evolved in conjunction with what food sources are available(either genetically or socially), so it really might be that bacon(or whatever) is actually the most delicious thing in the universe for humans.

>I'd hold the shipping company completely at fault for letting this situation develop - they had options to replace him

Why? Then there would be someone else stuck in that situation. The problem is almost entirely with the Egyptian authorities. Such a situation shouldn't even be possible to develop. The first mate in the article might not have understood the ramifications of what he signed, but the Egyptian court certainly did.

There are all kinds of reasons for why a shipping company would be unable to help. That doesn't mean it should leave a person in a legal limbo. That's on the country rather than the company.

I'm surprised the guy didn't just leave. A country whose laws don't respect you doesn't deserve respect in return.
Well, a single 7nm CPU (AMD Ryzen) can pull down 95 odd watts at peak, granted, the IO die is a fair bit of that as it's on an older process, but if you extrapolate that out across a giant wafer it's "only" 157 Ryzen 7's.

This thing is awesome and, as someone working for a competitor, kind of scary. I applaud their approach though. I think we're a couple years off from it, but we'll probably see wider adoption of larger silicon, with more specialized functional units, which are used with a lower duty cycle to manage heat. If nothing else, they're probably developing some good IP and techniques to handle other sorts of ultra-mega-insane-scale-integration.

I wonder what their software stack looks like. Can they support the sort of virtualization and sharing you'd want to keep this expensive beast fully utilized 24/7?
I wonder how a programming language “extension” to Excel works together with the fact that the excel language is localized. Will the lambda function names be similarly localized?
American manufacturing was shipped overseas because, i.e. after, American labor was unable to compete. I'm not sure what "corporate trade agreements" means either; corporations don't make "trade agreements".

I'm also not sure why everyone takes for granted that America not having as many manufacturing jobs is a bad thing...
It would melt if you just do air cooling. I did some math for liquid nitrogen which has heat of vaporization as 200 kJ / kg. It would boil 3600*15/200 = 270 kg of nitrogen every hour. Just insane.

No and yes, respectively.

I'm somewhat curmudgeonly w.r.t. SVE, insisting that while the sole system in existence is a HPC machine from Fujitsu, that for practical purposes it doesn't really exist and isn't worth learning. I will likely revise this opinion when ARM vendors decide to ship something (likely soon, by most roadmaps). There's only so much space in my brain.

AVX-512's masks are OK. They're quite cheap. There are some infelicities. I was irate to discover that you can't do logic ops on 8b/16b lanes with masking; as usual the 32b/64b mafia strike again. This may be a symptom of AVX-512's origin with Knights*.

It would be nice if the explicit mask operations were cheaper. Unfortunately, they crowd out SIMD operations. I suppose this is inevitable given that they need to have physical proximity to their units - so explicit mask ops are on the same ports as the SIMD ops.

I also wish that there were 512b compares that produced zmm registers like the old compares used to; sometimes that's the behavior you want. However, you can reconstruct that in another cheap operation iirc.

There's an image on their website[1], pretty huge water pumps.

"To solve the 70-year-old problem of wafer-scale, we needed not only to yield a big chip, but to invent new mechanisms for powering, packaging, and cooling it.

The traditional method of powering a chip from its edges creates too much dissipation at a large chip’s center. To prevent this, CS-2’s innovative design delivers power perpendicularly to each core.

To uniformly cool the entire wafer, pumps inside CS-2 move water across the back of the WSE-2, then into a heat exchanger where the internal water is cooled by either cold datacenter water or air."

I think conversations about cheating are missing the forest for the trees - or the learning for the degree.

I maintain that cheating is almost always a pedagogical problem first, and a trust problem second.

Cheating becomes a convenient solution to a problem when you're dealing with a course with inadequate teaching, a difficult learning curve, or a lack of motivation for students to do their work to the best of their ability themselves, or a nonsensical curriculum. Fixing cheating doesn't involve surveillance - it instead involves removing the incentive structure that exists for cheating in the first place. This may involve rethinking grading, or course material, or assignments; but is certainly not impossible.

We act surprised when students "cheat" in CS exams that's expected to be done with only pen and paper - nearly any real workplace will give you an option of a text editor or IDE of your choice. So give them an IDE! Give them the API documentation! Don't create an incentive to test the waters to fix the broken rules of assignments.

Another relevant area of work is ungrading, or self-graded courses in general - when you remove the friction that grades cause in the feedback loop of learning; learning becomes an organic process for everyone involved. There's a lot of interesting pedagogical research, and just "cheating is rampant" doesn't scratch the surface of "but why is it?"

In addition, cheating is a game. Every second you spend drumming up cheating in front of your students is another second they think about trying to get away with cheating you. If you tell students they're not to be trusted, they will not give you any reasons to trust them; in many cases it's as simple as that.

A combination of good pedagogical design, and building a relationship of mutual trust with your students, is certainly more fruitful than creating an academic police state (of which Proctorio is only one part of). There will always be people slipping through the cracks, but there are other safeguards in the world to catch them too.

Another important thing is that conversations about cheating always assume a very specific framing of higher education - that they exist primarily as a gatekeeper or arbiter of who-knows-what; the university also has the purpose of providing an environment for learning. And in many cases, cheating is just a result of a failure to provide that environment.

In addition, if the primary beneficiary of university degrees are the employers (or the people who care about the who-knows-what stamp), then why do students foot the bill for tuition? If you choose to accept this framing of universities primarily as arbiters, isn't access to a degree just a head tax to enter the skilled labor market?
Same way as the last time: rampant over-promising and under-delivering, maybe catalyzed by some high profile mishaps.

Bubbles popping aren’t always evaluations of the objective quality of something; it could just be about its assumed value relative to other plausible options. Homes mostly don’t become uninhabitable when a real estate bubble pops.

When I have discussed this, most people I know argued the opposite (for Mathematics). The undergrad courses are supposed to lay the foundation. Stuff you need so often, and stuff you need to recognize when useful, you should know it by heart.

At graduate level, there is too much stuff. You know the outline, you know where to find stuff. But you don't need to know everything exactly. If you forgot one passage from a definition, that should not cause a failure. Because in 'real Mathematics' you get to look at references.

A nice trick for open book is to make it time-infeasible to just look up everything. But allow students access to the materials incase they have a brainfart.
> do you find it likely that nothing along these lines happened at all, and that, again, with billions of dollars getting moved around here and there, and basically zero chance of getting caught, everyone in positions of decision-making unilaterally chose to act 100% as honestly and altruistically as possible

You seem to be excluding a large middle. You seem to be saying that either COVID is a fraud perpetrated on us by hospitals, or else I must be arguing there is no such thing as corruption.

Your theory is not impossible but it would require a large amount of evidence to believe or even seriously consider. It's similar to the argument that Trump was actually elected president, but large amounts of independent local fraud threw enough votes to Biden to flip the result.

There's also the problem of independent lines of evidence that also point to major Covid death (e.g. excess deaths), and the fact that the Covid pandemic is a global problem - does every country have Covid money incentives that explain inflated deaths?

That's the most important missing feature. After 20 years in the game, I have a house, a pension fund, and a savings account with a montly growth twice my monthly expenses. At this point there is zero incentive to continue working for ~30 more years.

This is the best popular science book I've read. Frans De Waal is amazing, and a fantastic writer to boot.
According to US law (and I am assuming Syrian law) that is true...assuming the government is stable and the country doesn't have a devastating stalemated civil war. Getting into Syria with a legal passport is difficult enough, and Syrian border officials would have good reason to suspect that he was a foreigner. He would likely be thrown on a plane to Cairo and told to figure it out at the Syrian embassy. Although now that I write it out maybe this wouldn't have been a terrible option (albeit Kafkaesque and prone to several bureaucratic failures - and it doesn't solve the problem of him "abandoning his post" and breaking Egyptian law).

Even so, US authorities do not just take "sorry fellow USicans, I lost my passport" at face value and will likely detain you until you are able to prove you are a citizen, and put you through quite a bit of extra screening and interrogation. Realistically it would be less of an issue for a white person with a bland American accent, since Border Patrol would probably let you call a lawyer or family member to bring a birth certificate. But I am quite sure an El Salvadoran-American who forgot his passport would not be able to enter the US from Mexico without incredible legal difficulty - again to the point where it would be faster and considerably less traumatizing to just go to a consulate and wait a few weeks.
