This[0] suggests that the Sahara wasn't desert when ancient Egypt got started, though it depends on your definitions of those words I guess.

A timeline of Sahara occupation

22,000 to 10,500 years ago: The Sahara was devoid of any human occupation outside the Nile Valley and extended 250 miles further south than it does today.

10,500 to 9,000 years ago: Monsoon rains begin sweeping into the Sahara, transforming the region into a habitable area swiftly settled by Nile Valley dwellers.

9,000 to 7,300 years ago: Continued rains, vegetation growth, and animal migrations lead to well established human settlements, including the introduction of domesticated livestock such as sheep and goats.

7,300 to 5,500 years ago: Retreating monsoonal rains initiate desiccation in the Egyptian Sahara, prompting humans to move to remaining habitable niches in Sudanese Sahara. The end of the rains and return of desert conditions throughout the Sahara after 5,500 coincides with population return to the Nile Valley and the beginning of pharaonic society.

I'm not on basically any Slacks, no. "RESF" is a meme, and it's a meme for a reason. There is far more complaining about it than it actually existing. I actually got halfway to publishing a quantitative analysis on this...

What do you think is disrespectful about the about page? Maybe this is like, part of where we differ. Stating facts plainly, and talking about tradeoffs isn't disparaging. This is an engineering discussion. This isn't contempt culture. This isn't some sort of "JavaScript is shit and anyone that uses it is an idiot," which is an attitude that is a problem and is corrosive. The about page doesn't even say C and C++ are bad languages! It says that characteristics of them make it unsuitable for a specific kind of application, due to requirements that they believe are important. That's it.

And yes, I do believe that it is something that the project and project leadership wants to be true, that is less true the further you get away from the project itself. We do not have the power (nor the desire) to control what every single person says on the internet. It is about leading by example. We do not make language comparisons in official marketing or documentation, when people show up and are flamebait-y and disparaging of other languages, we tell them "hey we don't do that here" and ask them to cut it out. To me, this feels very, very different and better than a lot of language spaces. YMMV.
Not sure it matters but Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is the answer.
My thoughts exactly. They literally didn’t even mention Hackaday or Tindie. Doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence as a Tindie seller.
I don't know if "correct" and "fun" are at odds with each other. There are very famous examples of games failing at the start because of bugs like Cyberpunk. There is a point where the game is too broken to enjoy. You want games where the correct behavior is the fun behavior. (However, there are counter examples like Goat Simulator.)

To be fair, I don't pretend to know how CDProject developed their games. They might already have testing and the timetable was the problem.

> So a lot of the views she's angry against are because there's a tendency to consider extremes: would it be better for everyone in the world to be disabled, or not?

I assure you this is not the view of either Peter Singer or Jeff McMahan, who are mentioned by name in the article and whose work in this area is deep and influential. Whether this is the view of any philosopher at all I cannot say, but I doubt it.
If the tests are cheap and can be performed as frequently as necessary, I could imagine a system where a test isn't considered positive until a statistically significant number of them have come back positive. If there is an abundance of data, there is no longer a need to extrapolate from a single data point.

I had a blood test once where my electrolytes were somewhat out of whack. I wasn't called in for an expensive kidney scan or consultation with a urologist. I was called in for another blood test. The second test came back fine. I was likely dehydrated the day of the first test.

The availability of cheaper, more frequent testing means that the response to a single positive signal does not have to be as extreme. Thankfully my doctors office offers walk-in blood testing or my experience could've been a much more anxiety-inducing hassle.
> Spreadsheets and FPGAs are two places where there's no focus on a "program counter".

I'll give you spreadsheets, but while it's not the "focus" you will very often see softcores and lots of state machines being used in FPGAs. Some things are just easier to reason about and write that way.

I've had this thought in my head for a bit - each day it seems harder and harder to keep up with the mental load it takes to comprehend the world around us. With both climate change and technological power on the rise, I'm curious how the community here deals with maintaining a sense of self and purpose.
You can draw that line around economics if you want, but I'm ultimately more interested in the consequences of economics for human purposes. That necessarily involves considering market value and human values as separate kinds of things. Related of course, but different.

I may just be exceptionally stupid, but is this a gag article? I mean that in all seriousness.

Graph of daily vs weekly deaths look completely differently, numbers are present in absence of any context (how are vaccine rates measured? Does it only count it after the two week build up period?), and the article cited for proof of spike protein levels doesn't actually cite spike protein levels, but lipid levels.
And it's not like 4g hotspots and old cell phones don't overheat either.
"Bitter cripple", as the author describes it, seems like an inversion of "bitter incel" in that the "bitter cripple" is angered by the special treatment their disability draws from people, and the "bitter incel" is angered by their perception that nobody views them as romantic candidates. One is about freedom to be a generic stranger, one is about the opportunity to be special to somebody (viewed generously).
> Most people probably aren't inclined to deliberately target their own company. It's far more likely that there is a bad actor in the world who wants to target your company, than that there is in your company.

“Most” people are law abiding. So, I agree with the first sentence.

The second sentence, however, has little support. The universe of people who can do these types of attacks is large, but not universal. You need computer skills. Necessarily. Those with computer skills are usually already part of the industry. How many disgruntled people pass through the FAANGs each year? Now add in all the IT positions at the banks.

In short, there are probably tens of thousands of domestic ‘bad actors’ who have (or will have in their careers) access.

Probably more.

1) If you have a large enough population sample, excess deaths fluctuate less because of the law of large numbers

The US year-on-year excess death charts are much smoother than those for a small country like Belgium for example for this reason.

So yes, Scotland has too few people for you to see much in this data due to all the noise, humans easily see patterns where there aren't any.

2) This sort of nonsense generally posits some vague association between vaccination and negative outcomes and isn't too interested in trying to imagine an actual mechanism that would inevitably be debunked.

3) It's also noteworthy that over this same period the case rates subsided in the UK considerably. Whether I'm vaccinated against the disease or not, if nobody I meet has the infectious disease I'm not going to catch it from them.

IMNSHO a much more significant effect, which I measured over the whole UK since that's the data I had, was that the ratio between those dying aged 90+ and those dying at my age fell dramatically a few weeks after they were vaccinated - exactly as you'd expect if vaccinations work.

Before the uptick due to the Delta variant, the best overall week for UK COVID deaths seemed to be at the end of May, but if you were a young adult, say age 25, death rates were actually still higher than last summer - the overall rate was low because rates were now far better for the elderly. Because of course they'd been vaccinated. Next week vaccination will be offered to all English adults who have not previously qualified (e.g. because they were too young and had no other vulnerability) so by August the proof will be in whether that arrests further transmission or not.

Countries that pursued elimination (e.g. New Zealand) are still doing better, because, vaccine or no vaccine, if nobody has the virus then nobody can die from it.

I really would like some consumer level BCI that would allow trainable actions so that I could map them to macros or mouse movements. Until think most of these products are either novelties or maybe only beneficial to researchers.
I live in MN, and if it’s cold out, I keep my phone next to my body somehow, like a pants pocket or inner jacket pocket in the chest area. This keeps the phone warm enough to work for a while at any temperature you would attempt to use a phone in (I don’t try to use my phone outside when it’s -20F because I don’t want to remove gloves, but 0F is fine) and if it’s too cold, you can rapidly warm it up by placing it between your legs/against your skin/etc.

In he summer, I don’t leave my phone in direct sunlight for extended periods or else it will overheat. Simply placing it in the shade or in a pocket prevents this. It usually only hits 100 here, so I don’t have experience with the 100-120F range and overheating.

Tl;dr Prevent your phone from reaching extreme temperatures and it will work fine.
> So long as bare metal looks more like a Turing machine than a Church calculus

This will always be the case. The Turing machine is simply a much better model for implementing a machine capable of executing programs. The Lambda calculus (and math in general) are obviously better tools for _reasoning_, but the reason that reasoning in them is so powerful is precisely because you don't have to consider the execution cost of certain operations to reason about them.

Think about all of the common set theory operations. It is trivial to write: PrimeNumbers ⊆ NaturalNumbers, however, think about _computing_ the result of this expression. Generating prime numbers is not a simple computational task, and even if it were, you can only ever verify it for a subset of the natural numbers since computation is inherently finite.

It's all fun and games until you need to execute the program. The functional style is great in terms of expressivity, but you want a Turing machine at the bottom executing it if you ever want the program to finish in your lifetime.
No idea why you are downvoted, other than annoying the TikTok fanatics on this thread with "the facts" and a dose of reality that they seem to be trying to escape from by going into their own world of dancing short videos and community memes which is governed by another "recommendation algorithm" just like the rest of the other social networks out there. Nothing has changed.

Even when there is strong evidence of this blatant censorship and suppression, they (TikTok fanatics) are unable to refute or argue against this fact and quickly downvote us because they have nothing to fight with.

For example, one user [0] in the comments of this post went with a baseless claim that "TikTok ended censorship." and was quickly debunked [1] in the same conversation.

If you believe them, you might as well also believe that Facebook and others 'respect your privacy'; whilst also using recommendation algorithms and graphs at the same time.

This is really just a tirade. She's angry because rational philosophy, essentially, is not "intersectional" enough. We've seen the damage this has done to social science (just look at how well it has solved pre-college education).

The thesis of her tirade, the desert island and taking the "more capable" person, really left a lot of details out. It appears poised to support her argument rather than pose an interesting question. She claims she can find counter-examples, which she never mentions, and then continues on her tirade. This seems like an underhanded way to guilt anyone who might question her.

Here's an example where it becomes more interesting. Suppose you're on a desert island and you have 3 people. You, a disabled person, and an able-bodied person. Which do you choose to take?

Her implication is that you should take the disabled person. But in reality the _rational_ argument can go either way. I'm shocked that she missed this but also unsurprised. That is, rational philosophy is perfectly capable of addressing her argument without the need to inject several new variables that provide no value.

If you need someone to lift heavy things, and the disabled person does not have arms (or use of their arms), do they provide positive utility that enhances your survival? No. I think any rational actor can see this. In this case, it makes sense to take the able-bodied person. Ethically and morally questionable but certainly rational.

If you need someone to distill water, and the disabled person is a scientist, it would make sense to take the disabled person. You can make up for their shortcomings and the net utility is positive for your survival. Again, ethically and morally questionable but certainly rational.

I browsed the author's Google scholar page and am left unimpressed at the quality and depth of her papers. The URL of the website tells me all I need to know. I am unsure what the author is chasing but we can be certain it's not philosophy.
That's great to know. I'd like to feel reassured but I'm sure there's new exploits somewhere, the carrier level i think is just so attractive to large scale actors. Any internet links to read up on this, and on the next generation of possible carrier level exploit vectors?

> At no point in time does Kelly give you more wealth with probability 1,

Either you're claiming that the theorem I attempted to describe is false, or you're misunderstanding the theorem I am trying to describe.

I never wrote anything about 'high probability' either so I don't know why you introduced that notion.
As far as I know, this also doesn't show a correlation. This is just right now showing a coincidence no?

Wouldn't you need to compute the correlation coefficient or at least plot a scatter graph?
I interpreted it in the opposite light.

To me, it sounds like the author is angry that people perceive disabled people as being worth less than able people.

I see this as being in line with the experience of incels because their perceived worth is so low that no woman wants to be with them.
I don’t care, it’s annoying and stupid.

The put a non-automotive grade LCD in the original Model S because it was that LCD or nothing.

The automotive screens didn’t exist in the size they needed and they weren’t at a stage in their company where they could design their own.

They took a risk to achieve the product vision that they were determined to bring into the world given the technical constraints of the age. I’d say overall it paid off.

IMO it wasn’t arrogance.

Treating it as retail consumer electronics shit isn't rugged enough for real use.

But it is retail consumer electronics and it should be able to handle temperatures commonly encountered for a retail electronics satellite dish, which includes a hot roof in Arizona, but does not include the back of a hot truck where a consumer shouldn't expect his home dish to operate.

This is just a comment about implicit vs. explicit state. What you described is not inherent to OO, though of course it's much easier to have implicit state in OO.

I'm working in a codebase now that is very OO, but also is very diligent about having state be explicit. The exercise you described would also be 2 lines of code in this project.

> If GDP is calculated correctly, it should correspond to mean income levels,
That's true, but also -- an object sitting outside in the sun is going to exceed, or greatly exceed depending on the materials, the ambient temperature.
The problem is not the outside temperature, but the small difference from the inside one preventing the circuitry inside the dish to cool down. Also the way it is engineered doesn't help: it draws about 100 Watts of power, but the entire circuitry is enclosed in a plastic container with no way to exchange heat with the outside, and the heating parts are kept in "contact" with the metal plate working as heatsink through thermal pads which seem just too thick to me to transfer enough heat.
The metal plate should be helped to dissipate all that heat, but that would require flowing air, which is not an option in a closed box. According to a teardown video, there's no way to remove the metal plate without destroying the device, but one can still reach it and that would make possible for example thermal-gluing a metal pipe to it, then build a liquid cooling system by pumping the liquid through a better external heatsink with real fins.
