I tried those on Windows 7 and after rebooting couldn't log in anymore - it just kept saying my username or password was incorrect.

It took me quite a while to figure out that this was because I had set my keyboard for the logon screen to Cyrillic. I confirmed by overwriting sethc.exe with cmd.exe and enabling high contract - the text I typed in the command prompt window that opened was in Cyrillic. (Not my own trick, but a very useful one for recovering access to Windows without directly editing the registry files!)

That's quite a downside, I would say! Turns out all those Microsoft warnings that say "do not modify the registry unless you know what you are doing" had a point.

Well, not directly, but we can certainly talk about the appearance a distinct state, which would now be called awake state in comparison to previous organisms that had a single state. After this appearance it makes sense to talk about previous life forms as "sleeping".

The difference to PoW is that the exchanges can do the staking with very minimal effort. I would guess majority of exchanges give the staking results to customers while taking some % fee.

I don't have any problem with this in general, I don't think it is wrong to do business like that. But I personally prefer PoW because it looks like it naturally separates the mining work from exchanges, creating more decentralized economy.
I don't think that's a good analogy, all those waterfalls developed independent of each other.

It's not hyperbole. I make a backup of my computer, with the output being a bunch of 500MB files. And I would then copy or move those files into a folder on the file stream drive. It's not entirely consistent, and it used to do less, but with some update it decided that it should upload way too many files at once. I've had to switch to an entirely different program to upload those files sequentially.
This will ultimately just create a larger market for ransomware insurance. Insurance premiums are likely the lowest cost compared to 1) paying the fines or 2) actually improving security.

Most businesses already have some form of insurance covering their liability in these situations and those will just price in whatever fines might need to be paid.

That's not how it ends up working, though. People just share screenshots or tell friends of the broken website and people stop using the website not uBO.

And there are sites that will throw up a banner that says 'Adblockers might break this, if you have problems disable your Adblocker and try again' which is pretty effective. Funny enough, in my experience, sites with that banner tend to work with uBO enabled (probably because they're testing it).

... It's fascinating reading the comments here and other places that go between "that's crazy never heard of it couldn't imagine you're making it up" and "yup seen it / do it too" :-D

But basically for many of my non-science-major friends, it's money per tank or at best kilometers per refueling. Re another (for some reason dead?) comment, there may indeed be a correlation between cash flow and tendency to use "money per tank", haven't thought about it that extensively. And then whether education is a confounding or causal variable to either of those axis, it gets complex.

Location wise: Toronto Canada, Winnipeg Canada, and Fairmont Minnesota is where I've observed it, FWIW.

In theory, but there are good reasons why cinemas and home projectors don't "just" double (or really, need to quadruple because of how the shutters work).

Heat dissipation requirements go up hugely because the bulb is so much hotter.

You simply can't buy a home projector that is 4x brighter. I looked into it earlier this year -- they simply don't exist.

Because if they did, the fan noise required to cool the bulb would be so loud you wouldn't even be able to hear the movie.

However, a lot of advances are being made with both laser and LED "bulbless" projectors... so it might actually be coming in the not-so-far future.

> for instance the new Reddit website uses APM and isn't faster than the old one by lighthouse's metric

The AMP page will still load faster because it conforms to a spec which is known to be preload-safe. This means it can be served by services like search engines without any additional network activity, and with minimal layout calculations needed.

Ultimately that's what AMP was designed for. It's more than just a head-to-head speed comparison.

As a sidenote though, reddit's AMP implementation is horrendous for a dozen reasons. It's almost impossible to escape loading the real site, which is not at all within AMP's design guidelines.

Any software engineer can clone Twitter. The value of it is in the network and the high cost of users switching because they can't convince the people they follow and those who follow them to switch at once. The same applies to Bitcoin, but miners have an even higher cost of switching because they have specialized hardware that can only generate revenue on the Bitcoin network. Ethereum validators have a much lower cost to switch.

Pentagon reportedly running secret army of 60k around the world
A good friend of mine at Google is the technical lead of this project (he has a Phd Princeton, and was a professor before joining Google).

I've tried it in person and it was truly amazing. They used some very fancy tech when I saw the demo, so I'm thrilled it is finally being announced and possibly shared with a larger audience.

Explanation of why it is amazing: It totally fools your perception. No glasses or goggles--but rather an 8k display with special glass that allows your different eyes to see different pixels (a light field).

They also optimize the sound, and the rest, so as all the testimonials point out, you actually feel like the person is in front of you.

It also works for the "cube" around them, so if they hold up some object, it also feels like that is in front of you.

Amazing...
> Notably, the techniques that researchers employ to rescue overfitted artificial neural networks generally involve sampling from an out-of-distribution or randomized dataset. The overfitted brain hypothesis is that the brains of organisms similarly face the challenge of fitting too well to their daily distribution of stimuli, causing overfitting and poor generalization. By hallucinating out-of-distribution sensory stimulation every night, the brain is able to rescue the generalizability of its perceptual and cognitive abilities and increase task performance.

Bit of jump there from randomized/out of sample data to dreams are for generalization.
That's the first-order effect. The second-order effect is companies paying less to ransomware creators, making it a worse business to be in. Over time this should result in less business pain.

Sure. In fact, that's almost how Ethereum's proof-of-stake works, except it has a protocol that comes to consensus without wasting anything as long as people follow the rules, and only destroys stake when someone provably breaks the rules.

The "why" might be more of a philosophical question than a scientific question, but in terms of the science, I don't think it's hard to reason about.

Ultimately, the frequency at which abiogenesis occurs is 1/N.

It may be the case that N is small enough that the universe is positively teaming with life.

Or it may be the case that N is so unfathomably large that the odds are exceedingly small that abiogenesis occurs even once during the lifetime of the universe, and the universe just happened to get lucky.

But until we have some other confirmed, observed instance of abiogenesis, we can say nothing about N other than its lower bound is pretty large.

And I don't think we can pile probabilities on top of probabilities to say, "Well, we have no way of knowing how large N is, so I'm going to just bet that it's medium-sized."

Remember holistic comparison not just specific areas that support your argument.

Those alcohol related deaths include car accidents. If ~150,000,000 people in the US regularly took LSD you would get a significant increase in such accidents independent of any other health effects. Falls, suicides and other mental Heath related deaths would also increase. LSD related deaths are hard to track as only ~0.1% of adult are active users but from the data we have 8k deaths per month at that scale is roughly within the margin for error.

Now, you can reasonably argue that fewer than 150 million people would take LSD but that’s hardly making it safer for those who would. It’s just arguing Alcohol is popular not that it’s inherently more dangerous.
Interesting thing is that they don't show the participants touching the glass pane 'separating' them, whereas for that kind of situation it would be very very natural thing to do.

I guess the imagery would distort/degrade real fast when you start reaching out towards the glass pane (you would be out of camera's FoV), and that would break the magic.

This is a common misconception. Chrome doesn't technically do process-per-tab.

IG Shopping is what Instagram has built to allow you to tag products from a website in your posts. In order to use that feature from Instagram, you have to have a website. Thryft sellers use our product to allow their customers to purchase from the link in their bio (for no monthly fee). If they want to be able to tag the photos in their pics, that's a separate thing, but we can set that up for them through IG Shopping (this feature is part of one of our premium monthly subscription plans for $6/mo). Thank you for brining this up - I can definitely see how that could be confusing to potential sellers. We'll figure out a way to redesign that!

This. Every single article and discussion about this "problem" always uses base chain transactions as the divisor for the energy cost per transaction. The average Bitcoin transaction [0] is ~$500k right now. The protocol made a conscious decision to make layer 1 a settlement layer, and secondary layers as transaction layers. I personally make an order of magnitude more transactions on layer 2 than I do on layer 1. The company I work for fits into the same boat, and the vast vast majority of funds we receive are on a layer 2.

This is similar to my experience. My company <redacted> is doing a stripe integration and I wasted a week playing with the multiple different sample apps that were provided "as is" and only made significant progress by ignoring them and building my prototype up section by section from the "getting started" documentation.
the funny thing is that cryptocurrency was fairly useful as a currency in 2014. There were a number of bitcoin ATMs in my city, and a number of businesses where you could spend it. It seems to me that the whole block-size debate proved the failure of the system, since the interests of a few ultimately triumphed over the best interests of the system as a whole.
That’s a pretty neat trick to get around the lack of changing default apps!

MLPerf runs are rarely done with a single device instead of a system or cluster and these seem to just be the best MLPerf 0.7 runs for each type of system (ASIC, GPU, CPU) not an attempt at normalized "points per something".

>but there is some barrier to entry for staking ETH2 or other PoS coins on your own, vs staking them on an exchange

This is true, but those exchanges either charge fees or are going to charge them, making it more profitable to stake at home. Because offline penalties depend on correlation to how many other people are offline, it's actually safer to stake at home.
Eth was accumulated primarily by devs that understood its value before everyone else. Devs are in general paid well. As a result, it's nothing special for those individuals to own thousands of eth - it was even possible to buy eth below $100 as recently as in 2020. Those 600k eth on Kraken aren't that much relatively.

Right now it's very early and many people aren't staking because there are much higher returns elsewhere, and before the merge withdrawals aren't possible, so you can't even go back if something better appears. I fully intend to stake at home once extreme yields elsewhere stop - in the long run staking is likely to have the highest yield on eth.
