FWIW I write with a fountain pen, mostly for comfort. I cross things out, keep my mistakes. Pencil lead/dust conducts electricity, so it's not really any good in a high voltage lab.
What surprises me is why this "giant capacitor" phenomena did not occur elsewhere?
Surely it docked previously in wet/damp conditions? Would the effect have been visible?

Or was it that there has never been any leak across the whole structure when docked in wet?
> they are a thousands-year old country

china, the ethnicity, is indeed thousands years old. CCP, however, is barely over 70 yrs old.
> No mystery that the effects of criminality seems to afflict entire families when the justice system is actively contributing to that.

The overwhelming preponderance of evidence suggests that this is mostly mediated by strongly genetically heritable behavioral factors such as intelligence, aggression, and time preference. Familial criminality effects are only slightly moderated by e.g. adoption into a completely different family.
In China? Is it a violation of the data source license?
As part of practicing giving the hard feedback you can also practice framing the feedback to have the best impact. I've found focusing the feedback around behaviors and observed outcomes is the best.

E.g. instead of "please stop posting excessive memes on code reviews", "when you post memes on code reviews it pollutes the timeline and makes it difficult for reviewers".
I can tell you from personal experience that if the "victim" ends up being a large insurance company that had to cover a claim due to an act of the defendant there is in fact quite some emphasis on Victim Compensation.
If it does rupture, no explosion, but the gas will burn as it rises into air with oxygen that hasn't yet been consumed.

All the videos on YouTube of hydrogen-filled balloons (yes, pure hydrogen, not HHO) disagree with you.
It seems like somewhere between 1m-5m per century depending on time and place[1]. At 5m that would be noticeable in a lifetime in a coastal estuary, you would see dwellings from your childhood swallowed by the sea by middle age. Interestingly, Sumerian myths said that the Akkadians arrived from the sea and brought with them the knowledge of city building. Certainly begs some interesting questions.

No, not cynical. I will call it for what it is - baseless conspiracy.
It doesn't have to be for at least some unsuspecting users to unwittingly share their private key with some random server on the internet.

When was the last time you ssh'd to a server you didn't already have some level of trust with? (AWS, GCP, work server farms, etc.)

That's exactly the problem: assuming that the only valid reason to talk about an awkward situation is to convince the other person that they are wrong or change their behaviour.

We can talk about about awkward things, nobody has to convince anyone of anything. You can listen to the other person and just come to understand how they feel and why. You don't need to feel the same way, just have a better understanding of why they feel how they feel.

If more people did this the world would be a much better place. It'd accomplish a lot, I think.
Both look very cool, but I could use one with a good camera to take pics and annotate or include in the note-taking, and that doesn't seem to be in either spec sheet.

Does anyone have any experience with one with a built-in camera or easy transfer between an Android device and the notebook?
Thx!
It isn't, at all. It's just one of many little details. I wrote more in some other comments in this thread. For example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27190430

And, again, I'm more skeptical of the DC cases than the overseas one, and I think it's likely that a decent percentage of the cases are psychogenic.

Here are the dog references, for anyone else curious:

(Alleged Virginia attack)

>Then, shortly after Thanksgiving 2019, according to three sources familiar with the incident, a White House staffer was hit while walking her dog in Arlington, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C. According to a government source familiar with the incident, the staffer passed a parked van. A man got out and walked past her. Her dog started seizing up. Then she felt it too: a high-pitched ringing in her ears, an intense headache, and a tingling on the side of her face.

(Alleged China attack)

>Meanwhile, the roster of victims was growing ever longer. In June 2018, the U.S. State Department evacuated nearly a dozen people from Guangzhou, China, where American diplomats and trade representatives reported feeling symptoms eerily similar to those their colleagues had experienced in Cuba. One victim, Catherine Werner, said that her symptoms began in late 2017, just as Polymeropoulos’s had: a splitting headache, nausea, loss of balance. When her mother went to Guangzhou to help her, she, too, fell ill. Even Werner’s dogs were affected, her mother told NBC News. They began vomiting blood and avoiding the room where Werner and her mother heard the sounds and felt the symptoms start.

These two scenarios definitely did not adjust my confidence about any of this. The reported symptoms are indeed different. I just think it's interesting. It absolutely could be a red herring.
The variants that ultimately got corporate support turned out to be hot turds in implementation... and slower than userland implementation once you fixed some glaring bugs in it.

The United States worked with Israel for years, and has continued to some degree even now, to establish a legitimate and functional Palestinian state. The reason the US does not recognize Palestine is that right now there is not a fully formed Palestinian government. The PA never fully exerted its influence or enforced its own laws in the West Bank and has completely lost control of Gaza to a terrorist organization.

I know it does not neatly fit your narrative about a Jewish conspiracy in America ("Israeli diaspora?" really?), but US support is one of the reasons there is any Palestinian self-governance at all, limited as it may be.
Love it. I wish I could change the units to metric.

"The Sawyers have accumulated more than 200 pieces of uranium glass"

At what point does the harmless level of radioactivity from a single plate turn into an excess concentration that ought to be kept in a suitable enclosure? What kind of particles do these pieces give off? I'm presuming they give off gamma radiation, so a wooden and glass china cabinet wouldn't suffice.
SSH, once you (verify and) accept the first key exchange cannot be tampered with in transit, nor have the contents viewed by those sitting in-between.

However, I believe everyone's stdout/stderr is available to everyone, if everyone is the same user, and if that user has read access to /proc, so that confidentiality is only restricted those who access to the server.

Mainstream archeologists have already integrated many of the "suggestions" the article makes. It's bad enough that were I less charitable, I'd think the author was putting up strawmen that have been outdated for decades. Instead, I think they just read the wrong books, probably from some stodgy British academic that hasn't left the country since there was a British empire. Take this concluding sentence as an example:

> The old paradigm of agriculture and civilization beginning after the last ice age, and proceeding on a materially overdetermined set course of progress, seems to rest on increasingly shaky theoretical grounds

If you find an archaeologist arguing that, you've found a time traveler from the 60s at the latest. Archaeology isn't easy and it's gotten a lot of things wrong over the years. However, methodologies are constantly improving and the best info is the stuff we have today rather than the stuff we had 50 years ago. That's what these sorts of articles should be calling for improvements in.
There are people who will make any excuse not to talk about the exact thing they want to avoid and it's more trouble than it's worth pulling teeth trying to find a way to talk about the issue. They just don't want to face it at all.
If you mean geofft's comment, I don't believe they're talking about a replay attack. thaumasiotes wrote "It wouldn't prove it, because anyone could be presenting the public key", but geofft is saying that if the server claims to recognize the key and requests to continue authentication using it, then your client will potentially provide the proof—invisibly and automatically, if the private key is passwordless/agent-loaded. There is no second server; this is the original server being able to confirm that you are actually in possession of a supposedly-unrelated-to-anything key. (I have not verified whether the order of operations in the protocol actually works this way; I'm just interpreting what geofft is saying.)
The one you call your phone already pretty much does.
It might simply be a kind of survivor bias.

The sorts of science that the public finds most interesting are those with a human backstory and politics is the best kind of story.
There wasn't exactly a lot of news that went around back then I imagine.
"Am I prepared to get more of this recommended until the end of time?"

I ask myself this question every time I watch a youtube video. A lot of them I watch with private browsing to avoid it. Though lately it feels like I'm getting stuff recommended despite the private browsing measure.
I can't tell you anything except that you have exceptional frequency reach for your age. ISO has actually standardized age-related hearing loss (yes, really), and they point to the same 17KHz point for even young adults.
It actually makes me quite envious of you. I have sensitive ears - I can pick up very faint electrical circuitry sounds in screens or the delivery driver scootering into the beginning of our street despite our windows being closed, but I'd happily trade that away for higher frequency range.
Watching latest Sandy Munro's videos it seems big issue with solid state batteries at the moment is indeed operating temperature. Current one's deployed are operating at 80C which is OK for constantly utilised vehicles, but not personal cars.
I politely recommend you do more research into the subject. It won't change your conclusions, but the state of affairs is very much not settled.

Also, here's your falsifiability: when it can be shown that the virus is zoonotic in origin, the other theories of its origin are falsified.

I do not believe that the virus was engineered in a lab at this point, but turning this into tribe warfare will not help anything. Saying that the opinion you disagree with is unscientific and comparing it to creationism just shows you aren't looking to have an actual conversation.
This is completely incorrect. There have been several large-scale tests of this theory, notably Australia, that proved it to be false. Genetics have nothing to do with it.
If a dog gave a positive result 93% of the time, but it was a false positive 40% of the time, does that mean 63% of suspects were carrying? Maybe I'm square, but that seems absurdly high to me unless the dogs are only used when there is already suspicion otherwise.
POSIX ACLs were something even the POSIX group didn't want to publish and are horrible, horrible mess once you deal with ACLs beyond individual files.

I spent some... long nights writing a program that ensured ACLs were appropriately applied in complex setup and automatically inherited by new files.

It supported both NFSv4/ZFS format and POSIX ACLs... the former was essentially one line per ACL, the latters involved very racy "drop all", "apply again recursively in very specific order" for every change in ACLs.

I've been in the high-end audio world for over ten years now and I gotta say: it's really cool to see Apple finally offering lossless audio! I wonder if this will finally push Spotify and others to offer lossless streaming?

Spatial audio looks... gimmicky? Surround sound recordings have been available to consumers for over fifty years, yet they remain niche. I'm biased though as I've only purchased high-end stereo headphones.

I don't know about chess, but in the similar game Go, the very best centaur teams were at a similar or maybe even slightly higher level than engines until recently. This was due to cheese strategies, details of the rulesets and better extrapolation of intermediate results.

However, this changed a few years ago, when engines learned many of the tricks that the human could contribute. Since then, I believe pure engines are stronger in all practical applications.

I am of the surprisingly-controversial opinion that ML’s future is going to be as a human empowerment tool — a bicycle for the mind, yet so much more. Listen to how cool my gamedev music sounds: https://soundcloud.com/theshawwn/sets/ai-generated-videogame...

I feel comfortable saying that it’s awesome and being immodest, because I didn’t write it! None of those notes are mine. “Crossing the Channel” has one of the strangest tempos I’ve heard, yet it sounds so cool because I think the model made a mistake early on, and decided it wasn’t a mistake — instead, it came up with the most likely not-mistake it could think of, and it happened to sound great.

But I “wrote” all ~20 songs on that list in one night. Took about six hours, aka a standard workday. I don’t think it’s production-grade music - far from it - but it also wasn’t a production grade model. (On the other hand, it was trained by gwern, so I’m skeptical the production models of the future will capture all the little magic that he seems to imbue into his.)

I chose the instruments, I decided what sounded good, but I didn’t write a single note. It felt a lot like listening to someone jam out, and asking them to play different things. I was just the fella who was there to listen.

That’s where ML is going to shine. The future is going to be so exciting with the things you’ll be able to do.

But not in the current direction, I think. Currently, the goal is to factor the human out of the equation entirely. So the answer to your question is: even if the AI has “advanced”, its only because they added this case to the training set. If a human was at the helm, they would have annihilated you, because they’d see what you were doing and pilot the AI over to you.

I am skeptical this case is solvable, in a fully automatic way. IMO human empowerment will happen by arming actual humans with these models. (Depressingly, “arming” might have a few meanings depending on how AI war turns out, but that’s a different conversation.)
Is this a test for "is the consistent with iOS"? I can spot all the differences (edit: hmn, not all of them, especially on Hard), but some of them are just worse.

Crunchbase Pro Account
Does anyone have any interest in splitting a Crunchbase Pro account 5 or 6 or 10 ways? Or is there anyone with an account already who would be generous enough to share?

Crunchbase used to be valuable even with the free version, but it's just so restricted now that it's hardly even usable. As a small startup, I want to find investors to try to reach out to, but I don't have $600 to dump on some lists.
I disagree; they're much better than having to look at people's faces.
It's also relatively trivial to set something up like this as SSH server supports auth delegation using PAM, and PAM can be configured with a single line using pam_succeed_if.so to disable auth only for a certain user.
In "public access single-app" cases like this, the user is generally connected to a restricted shell or other program which (… supposedly—this is very easy to get wrong if you're running anything that isn't specifically built for it) does not allow arbitrary executable access.
The system has a task to determine whether a person has actually committed a crime, and how serious. You don't want to happen to be a false positive. Nobody does.

But with plea bargain, I bet the number of false positives is somehow elevated.

Also, prisons are a terrible way to handle criminals. Instead of reforming the criminal and helping reintegration into the law-abiding society, many prison systems, including the US's, produce hardened criminals who learned a lot more of criminal trade during incarceration, or crushed people who have no chance to get to their feet again. Unless a society just kills every criminal, it makes sense to care what happens to them, because they'll be back.

Yeah the biggest problem with horticulture resource online in English is that most of them are written within the US context. So everything is measured in imperial unit. And hardiness zone only take into consideration about the minimum temperature, and say nothing about heat tolerant. So if you're in tropical country or somewhere else with drastically different climate, you gonna have to go through a lot of trials and errors.

>even 320kbps MP3

Not "even" as if that was any good. MP3 320kbps is a very low bar.

OPUS vbr averaging 128kbps is much harder than mp3 320kbps to ABX against FLAC.

MP3 simply is a really bad codec by current standards.

> Turns out this is very intentional, and China uses a different geographic coordinate system than the rest of the world. WGS-84 is the most common coordinate system, but China uses GCJ-02, sometimes called Mars Coordinates. Part of GCJ-02 is an algorithm that obfuscates the results. So applying any GCJ-02 coordinate to a globe using WGS-84 coordinates gets distorted like a funhouse mirror.

A lot of countries use their own coordinate systems, that make their countries look flat on a x/y plane. Eg. my country - slovenia.

Usually those coordinate systems are easy to calculate to wgs84 or web mercator projection[0], compared to the chinese solution

As I understand it, your SSH client gives out all your public keys, but doesn’t authenticate with all of them. That might be the crux.
What's the phrasing you'd prefer? "Children were once again murdered in cold blood in Gaza, a metropolis that could be just like Singapore, Tokyo, or Hong Kong given its dense population and prime geographic location, were it not under constant military oppression from a country whose illegal nuclear weapons program is more successful than that of North Korea"?

I think a lot of people would find that uncomfortably partisan, so news organizations tend to self-censor, unfortunately.

I'm from the US and have a bunch of Dutch in-laws that also happen to be quite successful. The first time I met them was on a work trip to Apeldoorn. I brought my wife and youngster and we went to stay with them for a long weekend in Amsterdam.

I couldn't figure out what was going on, because this tendency you describe was on full display right from the beginning. They invited us into their home then started giving us shit as soon as we walked in the front door. I thought they were just snobs and wanted to say fuck your stupid staircases and stroopwafel ain't shit (lying of course), but held my tongue because it wasn't my family. My wife on the other hand wasn't as restrained and gave it right back. Hearing Oom Rob laugh at her precision strikes made it all clear. We got along great after that and really had a fantastic time.

For what it's worth, I find Russians are expert at this as well.
Why did Rybka sacrifice the pawn to avoid the draw if the resulting position was bad? Was its contempt setting really high or something?

I wonder how many die from no employment or underemployment.
Is it known that in many American high schools the police will routinely search the halls, lockers, parking lots, and even force students to stand with their stuff placed on their desks while they walk around the classroom searching?

Or how about that starting in 4th grade we had D.A.R.E., where they regularly bring in actual cops to teach a "class" during which they attempt to coerce students into snitching on their families? This is when they're not busy teaching us about drugs that 95% of the students had never even heard of.

How about that it's very common for the police, if they find someone with a larger amount of drugs, to rob them rather than arrest them? This happens all the time with cops learning the license plates of particular dealers, although most drug dealers that I know have preferred this eventuality even if they lost a larger amount. Another friend lost 2 pounds of weed and a lot of money over a random noise complaint.

These American institutions, the schools and the cops in this case, are a total failure and need to be completely reworked.
It has crushed all human competition. They haven't made AlphaGo play against other computers (apart from versions of itself). And it's neither publicly available nor playing humans anymore.
