Well, I find many of the experiments on mice to be totally messed up and the justifications arbitrary. I do not therefore find this one more absurd. I think the pushback due to “male pregnancy with multiple surgeries” is unwarranted, unless all mice experiments are also called into question.

It is useful to find that uterus + pregnancy blood = major contributing factors to carrying a fetus to full term regardless of sex, as it rules many things out. It is useful criticism to understand these are not the only factors. In that light the experiment was a success and not unnecessary, unless all mice experiments are equally called into question.
Such a clickbait title.
You beat me to it! But I doubt Sentry is the vector - it's a generally legitimate service that helps software devs track failures in the wild without the users having to report anything - I've worked with it for single page web applications. Of course, it could be abused to track anything.

The right short-term thing to do is deny it networking access with LittleSnitch (mac) or the equivalent, while buying time to produce a privacy-preserving fork. FWIW, I don't think Sentry is appropriate for this kind of application. OSS should have opt-in error reporting only.

It would also be a good opportunity for the fork to factor out the UI into something like Electron, because the Audacity UI has always been pretty bad, IMHO.

(I suspect the biggest obstacle to producing a viable fork will be fights over which pun to use as a replacement name.)

Git does provide this feature :)

For a view of commits that shows when they entered the current branch, rather than when they were authored (i.e. group all commits from the same PR together in the history):

git log --topo-order

For only viewing merge commits (as if you were using a squash-and-rebase strategy, but without having to rewrite history at merge time):

git log --merges

Assuming you are using branches as groups of commits — kind of the point of a branch — and you're using merges with --no-ff (which is the default on Github for the Merge button — https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository... — and is necessary in this scheme to prevent fast-forward "merges" that would mess up viewing the merge history) rather than squashing and rebasing, `git log` shows you the "true" history, `git log --topo-order` shows you the chronological history of when commits entered the main branch, and `git log --merges` shows you the zoomed-out "clean" history of PR merges.

Many people don't know about these features because Github doesn't have an option to view the log that way: only git does. TBH I wish Github had offered a --topo-order and --merges selector to their commit log view before offering a myriad of PR merging/rebasing options: git provides a wealth of solutions to viewing commit history without forcing you into destroying parts of it with squash-and-rebase.

Edit: IMO, part of this issue is because of git's bad default log view. The --topo-order view is a much more useful view for reading the history of the repo (both for knowledge building and for debugging) than the default chronological-by-commit-timestamp view; typically you don't care what date a commit was authored on, as much as you care when it entered the main branch. I can't think of a single time I've actually wanted the default log view, and yet it's the default, and thus it's what Github shows.
Working hours wouldn't matter. Steve was a very well connected CEO and probably better connected than most re: Japan. Canon was a significant partner with and investor in NeXT, for example. So it's not a stretch to imagine he knew connected people over there. All his secretaries probably needed to do was get in touch with the staff (more likely, the personal secretaries) of no more than a few of his contacts within a couple of degrees of someone high up at Nomura and say 'Steve needs a favor'. Someone knew someone and so on... and it's done.
I wonder, would it be any different if the government had biometrics for your identity on hand from a period where you were deemed alive? For instance, I've fingerprints on file with the SEC due to prior work in finance. I'm pretty sure government jobs requiring a security clearance would have similar. Or having an arrest record?
I just can’t imagine how this made it past IRB approval. It doesn’t really prove anything and it seems unnecessarily cruel.
Due to the speed of light, there would be no observable differences.
It's hard to take something away from people once they have already had it. Yet if we had never discovered flight then we wouldn't spend much time lamenting the lack of air travel. Instead we would get on with life within the limitations we have just like we do for other constraints.

You are in a minority though. Most open source I see is BSD or MIT.
I like to escape aliases (ie. using `\vi` when vi is aliased to $EDITOR, but I actually want it), and actually have a special case for bat where I bind ccat to `bat -p --pager=never` for nice, copy-able, and still potentially highlighted output.
"Technology may change cognition without necessarily harming it"
No need to apologise!

In this post's comment section alone many use the term "open source" but really mean to say "public-source", others use the two terms interchangeably even when they seem to be aware of the distinction, and then there are people who seem to think that by making your GitHub repo public it becomes OSD-spec "open source" and with that free to use.

It's just so confusing and easy to misinterpret each-others' true meaning.

Thanks for making me aware of the existence of that OSD OSS spec btw! Came across the (recovered) blog post where the term was first announced http://www.catb.org/~esr/open-source.html.
It's funny to see this. In the past year or so I became very familiar with Hasui's works and now have more than a dozen prints of prints of his work on my walls. Several ones the same as what Jobs chose though perhaps that part is uninteresting since there's only about 100 to begin with I think. When I saw the scene of Bill's mother's house, two of the three she had on her wall were on my wall and visible as I watched this.

Would love to get real prints one day but I'm happy with my replicas too. I suspect I'll never afford the real things. I've been somewhat tempted to learn a little about woodblock carving myself and perhaps make something more fun and modern with it.
It’s the difference between 70% of humanity dead and 80%. It’s splitting hairs at this point.
While I appreciate the analogy, like others have pointed out, it's kind of broken as gcc is designed to be buildable by other C compilers, or at least, it's not impossible to bootstrap from a simpler C compiler.

A closer analogy would be like trying to build Apple's Darwin distribution tarball into an OS image without XBuild or a MacOS install, or any of Apple's other custom/proprietary tools.
He's a wolf in sheep's clothing at this point.
(In the interest of completeness, it's probably worth noting that while the spelling is often simply "baa", it can be lengthened, and the pronunciation is nearly always several syllables long, ba-a-a-a, with the syllables separated by glottal stops.)
The vulnerability in this analogy is scientists working with viruses in BSL-2 conditions.

I would argue this was not a widely known fact.

It's difficult to prepare for the next disaster if you're not willing to explore the previous one.
Well, Sino–Tibetan is one of the only places I would expect to see pharyngealisation in the first place. I can easily imagine a scenario in which vowels had a uvularisation or pharyngealisation contrast, which then was transphonologised onto the previous consonant. But I don’t know too much about Chinese languages, so until another explanation comes along I can only accept Baxter and Sagart’s conclusion.
I don't want to belittle your response, but this does not seem especially beyond the pale for the sort of thing rats get subjected to.

I've done programming work for some world-class academic neuroscience/biology labs, I've taken the mandatory animal ethics trainings, and I've seen how the sausage is made. For the most part I'm actually pretty impressed at the ethical oversight that is exercised on behalf of animals, this particular university going well beyond the mandatory legal requirements imposed by the government. But rats, or at least one specific breed of rats, are fair game, and it gets pretty horrific.
The Colosseum was active for 400 years, you consider that a relatively short period of time? In total they estimated that 400.000 people died in there, in 400 years! That's 1.000 people a year. Even if you double or triple that number is nothing compared to the deaths of the slaves trade in the Americas (estimated to 5 millions and more, in the same timespan of 400 years - 1500 to 1900 - just before being capture or during the transit to America) or the number of native Americans that have died during colonization (which is estimated to be to the order of 100 millions with a decline in population of 98%)

If that's not even enough to give you another metric the Iraqi war killed 460.000 civilians in less than 20 years and it's pretty recent.

> It serves to remind us of a more primitive past and of how far we've come.

This is what you fail to understand as well, they were not primitive by any means. Despite this games the society in Rome during the Roman empire was liberal (go read a book about it), we've killed and we continue to kill much more after the Roman empire and nowadays. The examples above should be enough for you to understand

> We are also specifically dealing with a historic artefact that symbolizes these killings.

It does not symbolize these killings only and was not solely built to host gladiator games. The Colosseum had multiple purposes. There were kind of games with wild animals (lions or African animals) vs man (similar to what nowadays people do in Spain during the Bullfighting) and was also used to stage battles, drama, composition, natural environment simulation and so on.

If your historical sources are Hollywood movies and TV series, of course you are missing something out.

It was a place or entertainment, similar to what today is a Cinema or a theater (indeed it's real name is Flavian Amphitheater)
That show was so good. Unfortunately, nothing like it could be made today.
For visual history this seems like a nice approach. In a large organization, can it be done atomically or is there a risk someone else merges before you during the rebase?

But I believe this also suffers from the problem described in OP where you can't tell if HEAD^ (or any parent) is from master or from feature branch.
Yes this did seem excessively grizzly, but then all the pushback in the latter half was on "male pregnancy", which was awfully suspicious.

Maybe it would be good to find some other conjoined circulatory systems + organ transplant studies for context.
Serious question: if we can, and are comfortable with the idea of factory farms where millions of animals are killed everyday, why should we be outraged by this?
You can use GPL code commercially, as long as you release what needs to be released as GPL for the AGPL, that's probably your entire codebase.

You cannot use AGPL code in non-AGPL codebase or as a library in a non-AGPL. Same for LGPL, except you can use LGPL code as a dynamic library in a non-GPL codebase, as long as you redistribute modifications to the LGPL code.

You can sell *GPL software or services around it.
The most troublesome part of the article is that any mention of ethics focuses on how this will affect humans and little is mentioned about the cruelty of treating the rats this way. I don't understand how people can be so calloused. I guess they are all fairly confident that karma is not real.
I’m simultaneously surprised and unsurprised that announcements about Copilot get so much copyright discussion, while the GPT-like models don’t get nearly the same. Meanwhile, GPT-J is literally trained on pirated books (the books3 corpus is part of the Pile, which is the corpus this was trained on).

Charitably, it’s because licenses are already such a core discussion when github comes up.

Uncharitably, it’s because Copilot uses “our” community’s labor, while the GPTs use others’.

I've read various reports from them and I've not seen numbers that stand up. I'm not going to go through 5 more of them in detail to find the same thing. If any of them have actual numbers showing infrastructure eating up say 30% of the budget id be happy to look. But I can all but guarantee that they'll be the same story. Infrastructure at 10% or less with criminal justice, fire, and schools eating up the money.
》International tolerance of our dollar and bonds

I see opposite, dollar may loose its status as sole reserve currency. It may take couple of years, but US is no longer perceived as bastion of stability. Countries are diversifying and dumping dollar assets. For example Russia recently:

what you do instead is have an extra metric entirely per device. it's easier to have 1000 extra metrics than an extra label worth of cardinality on 1,000,000 metrics for every single update.

within prom:

cpu{hostname,metadata,cpu_socket} 5.0
cpu{hostname,metadata,cpu_socket} 6.0
cpu{hostname,metadata,cpu_socket} 5.0
cpu{hostname,metadata,cpu_socket} 4.0
version{hostname,version_number} 1.0

instead of baking version_number in everywhere. just as an example, then you can know "oh, hostname has version number" on a chart, or even do some inversions and say "count of version number" to find stragglers.

My contract manufacturing company does this. Our standard contract has a 5% bonus for being less than 10% late on the delivery date (and penalties start around 25% late). After suppliers see the contract they will often revise their originally quoted schedule.

3 or 4 plexes are not going to solve the housing issue in the bay area, because many single family homes are already being used that way. They need to build dense urban cores with residential high rise and mixed use mid rise. Ideally close to Caltrain and BART stations, but additionally every single family zoned neighborhood should be given such an urban core. That way it would create more dense pockets all throughout the area, which would make it possible to bring alternative modes of transit into all neighborhoods by connecting these dense pockets with rail, bus routes and bike lanes.
I didn’t mention Goedel’s theorems, so I don’t know what they’re relevant or irrelevant to, and I am not spreading anything.

Maybe I didn’t make that part clear, but it’s more of a question of mine than a statement. It seems to me there would be problems and limits but I haven’t seen them addressed in a way I understand, so the questions and misunderstandings remain.

If you have any references, then by all means share them.

> Mixing romantic humanism with technical misunderstandings is no good.

I think this miscategorizes what I wrote. One could easily do the same.

Mathematics is indeed a human endeavor, as are its goals. If machines are to help, then that’s absolutely great (I’m actually a big fan of computers being used to augment human endeavors), but making grand sweeping claims like I’ve seen in discussion of proof assistants is as romantic as anything.
I'd recommend just installing the "tlp" package, it includes most of what PowerTOP does and is "install and forget".

Just an anecdote: I'm using Linux on a professional laptop, the same most of my colleagues use with Windows 10 (Latitude 7490). My battery life is significantly higher, high enough that I never care really, and the laptop is quieter: hearing the fan is the exception, not the norm.

All this with Debian and the TLP package installed. The TLP configuration is just tweaked to aggressively idle the SSD (no spin down / spin up issue anymore) but that's it. I did this a long time ago when I moved from HDD to SSD, and just carry this over.

A good deal of the difference may come from the antivirus on Windows, but TBC.

I fall in the 50% camp because showing 100% when it's clearly not using 100% of what the CPU is capable of is misleading, particularly in troubleshooting performance issues.

True that Google was doing it on its sites before MS, but there's an implicit sense of that being more acceptable because it's a remote site and not software which should otherwise have no use for a network connection phoning home.
Names are words.
That's jibberish though. Is the bar for good "AI" still that it frequently writes sentences that, in isolation, could pass as coherent writing but string a couple together and it's a train wreck?
To play devil's advocate, what I see in that demo is that:

- Yeah, some lower-level stuff seems to be broken (the windows console I/O stuff).

- Microsoft's devs linked to a very nice website that quickly and nicely explains some of the quirks of modern text rendering [1].

- Casey proceeds to demonstrate a (very fast!) approach that completely ignores some of the problems laid out in that site. Namely, his entire approach is based on caching rendered glyphs, which the document explicitly states is something you can't do naively and expect correct results (section 5).

- In his very demo some of these issues pop up (terrible-looking emojis, misaligned ascii art) and he shrugs those off as if they were easy jobs.

- Other issues are never tested in his demo. Examples include: (i) dealing with text selection, which is hard according to the linked site; (ii) how is he "chunking" non-asscii character runs (also hard to do correctly); (iii) handling ligatures (terminal programs oftentimes use ligatures between basic ascii character combinations such as => to make some source code more readable)

In other words: I see an incomplete solution that addresses only the easy parts of the problems (in a very performant way!) that fundamentally cannot be extended to a correct solution for the actual/full problem. And a lot of arrogance while presenting it.

In no way does this mean that a much more performant solution doesn't exist. But Casey's cute demo is not a proof that it does because it does not solve the actual/full problem.

PS: I don't work for MS, I don't know Casey nor any of MS's devs, and I don't even use windows. I do hold a PhD though, and I know plenty of PhD's dedicated to exploring the nitty-gritty details that some people with only cursory knowledge about the problem would dismiss as "this must be a quick job".

Having lived in Japan for a year and reading the review of the service, it reminds me how funny it is to read foreigners reviews of Japanese customer service describing it as miraculous when Japanese would consider it standard and adequate. Truly a special culture and country, the rest of humanity could learn a lot about humility and service from Japan.

Its good to diversify, its also true that the Federal Reserve is the biggest market whale in the universe. The gravitational pull towards the dollar is unavoidable because there isnt enough liquidity for any other form of value that exists.

The signal to watch for is US Treasury yields being unsupportable by the Fed’s purchasing program due to a greater market consensus of selling. As this does not happen and the macroeconomic trend is for US Treasury yields to also flirt with negative rates, like the rest of the planet’s major economic unions, it shows the opposite of your view.
Just because they were writing in Literary Chinese doesn't mean pronunciation was retained, or retained very well. Consider Mideval Latin and Church Latin "italianate" pronunciation.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_..., the poem was written by a linguist, so I don't think it it is representative of how most later writers of Literary Chinese thought pronunciation ought to work, but rather a reductio ad absurdum argument again writing in dead languages without using an alphabet.
