All I really remember from high school was that it was more exciting than Julius Caesar but less fun than, say, Plautus, much of which I do remember, rather surprisingly. I suspect with the addition of 40 years that Virgil would resonate more now than the others.

The other text that has remained vivid over the years is Plutarch; the painful homework of translation is thankfully forgotten.

I can see why the demise of CV/Resume is discussed a lot but I don’t see it going anywhere because it is so easy to automate the reading as an initial screening.

Sadly most hiring practices are about minimising the chance of making a bad hire rather than maximising the chance of a great hire and the resume provides a lot of good initial signals to that end without a human needing to be involved.

I would love the CV to go away but I don’t see it, LinkedIn does a good job of providing an alternative but it’s really just a CV with social signals so not a whole lot different.
Totally agree. After several years of experimenting with large quantities of psychedelics (heroic doses, 5-MeO DMT, etc.), they have always helped me realize I should just appreciate reality more.
Kids addicted to gaming -> bad family relations & bad grades -> decreased productivity & unemployment -> social unrest -> people revolt against the communist party.

It's not said that they (the vendors code) downloaded that code. If they have a remote code execution elsewhere it can download more.

Does anybody check the signature of all DLLs they are loading (into memory, not downloading) and all executables they are a calling? I have not seen such system in real life. The Linux kernel can check the modules it loads, but that's a different level. And I am not sure how widely it is used in practice. Anyway if you can inject a bad kernel module you are already root and have many more options.
The company reportedly had 100,000 DVD titles in their catalog, so yeah. Remember how old this contest was.
You can already write kernel modules in Rust too.

The point is to integrate the Rust language to the Linux infrastructure so you can merge rust drivers to the official code base.
i'd love to see any computer system that can provide a crytographically tamper proof log that comes with cryptographic proofs that:

a) a specific set of source code was used to generate the logs... so cryptographic security from source text files through compilation to execution on the hardware.

b) that specific set of software was run on a specific machine at a specific time.

it's hard... but beyond that, pretty much all audit logs are just security theater anyhow. sometimes can be mitigated by sending them to multiple places, but they're still meaningless unless you have a proof of what exactly generated them.

We have a solar (parabolic vacuum pipes) water heater which provides 95% of our annual hot water needs, backed up by gas.
The heat is stored in a layered and heavily insulated 300 liter tank.
The water delivered to the tap isn't actually from the tank, but it's just fresh water heated instantly and on-demand through a heat exchanger which is part of the storage tank.
No need to worry about stale hot water with such a system.
What sort of problems did you encounter drilling two 60m deep holes? How wide are they?
Yeah the researcher is already pretty far into the commercial realm with that kind of statement. I'm just saying, the point of science is to find out stuff or increase certainty about stuff. So even an experiment that finds another way to disinfect water that doesn't work, has scientific value because now we know that doesn't work.

> The Western concept of freedom above everything is a joke in modern society. It is based on the premise that everyone is smart enough to take decisions for themselves.

That's a misconception. The actual reasoning is that:

1. Everyone is equal in rights and responsibilities.

2. Those who use their rights wisely bring more value than the cost of decisions of those who don't.

For some things 2. doesn't hold, so they're regulated. Motoring in general comes to mind as an example.

in addition to the cookie banner vandalism committed by the EU, another problem that needs solving is legal agreements: it is not acceptable to run a society in a way that involves frequently requiring the public to sign documents they obviously haven’t read. I don’t know what the solution is, but I suspect it involves a massive devolution of power away from lawyers, so that they are no longer allowed to simply create agreement documents as long and complex as they want. The new documents must literally be such that it is probable that all users who sign, have read. That probably means just one or two short sentences.

In other words an “agreement” would not be legally valid unless it was short and simple enough for it to be empirically likely that the user has read it, unless we are in a situation in which a user has explicitly selected a service that they are told involves high legal complexity.
Lots of good discussions about water heating in this thread. But it's such a tricky topic.

Tankless water heaters are pretty efficient, but when you need hot water, you briefly use huge amounts of energy. It's for this reason that they almost always use natural gas. Electric tankless heaters are a great way to cause brownouts. They're roughly the size of a microwave oven, so they can fit in pretty much any kind of dwelling.

Water heaters with tanks, on the other hand, take up huge amounts of space and require frequent (but lower) energy input. This can use heat from a variety of sources, including low quality/unrealiable heat sources like solar heat pipes.

Then there's space heating. Unless you live in a Passivhaus, keeping a comfortable indoor temperature is challenging. Central heating using hot water and radiators is the most common approach where I live. But this again relies on burning hydrocarbons. Or, increasingly, on heat pumps, which require a lot of space, are noisy, and drop in efficiency as the temperature drops.

As far as I can tell, there are no silver bullets in either space heating or water heating. If you have a really big house, a big tank is probably a good solution for hot water. But living in a really big house is horribly inefficient in its own way. So I'm guessing that's not the greener approach. Living in a smaller dwelling is more efficient. But it seems there are basically zero good ways to heat small living spaces and hot water for a family of 1-2 living in small houses.
Removal of KEYGEN feature from Firefox and other browsers was a major mistake in this regard.

My bank(s) used password+client certificate, but now they have switched to proprietary mobile OTP apps. (also due to some directives). For some stuff, SMS codes are used.

Also, I've seen CA's simply deliver the .P12/.PFX file now instead of securely generating the key on the client and then signing it.
Is it though? It might be cheaper in many area's but this source [1] says that the grid transmission loss is only 5%.
Am I missing something that makes it a more substantial difference?

Not to mention that piping all that natural gas out to each home has to result in a certain amount of leakage and energy cost in just the pumping itself.

I don't get why they wanted to go all out on AI for this. I use Netflix, and a simple algorithm would already be an improvement:

- If I watched a movie and gave it a thumbs down, don't recommend it

- If I watched a movie < 1 month ago, don't recommend it

- If I browsed over a movie 50 times, read the info, and still didn't play it, stop recommending it.

- If I watched the last episode, remove the "new episodes" banner.

It just seems like several thousand people already had this exact sequence of thoughts and did the exact same thing and so there are several hundred meditation apps that nobody really needs and that don't really benefit anybody except the indulgent scrounger who set out to monetize something that should be and already is offered free. If you're "not sticking to" meditation you don't need a different app, you need to realize that you valuing other things over it that are pulling you out.
Sounds like "stock collapses: I win, stock rises: you get the collateral or the gains, whatever is lower"
It's described here: https://docs.synthetix.io/litepaper

Some users, called stakers, put up collateral, and in return the contract mints a synthetic asset. Stakers can destroy ("burn") the synthetic asset to unlock their collateral. The exchange rate is based on price feeds that oracles publish to the blockchain. There is an incentive for stakers to mint or burn the synthetic asset until its price matches the one published by the oracle.

So did I. I grew up in the “most educated” city in America. I’ve really not seen this.

Why does there have to be a dichotomy? There can be a diverse range of optimizations of technology visions. What is a Hobbit vision for technology? Or an Orchish one? Why is a United States view of technology the "Human" technology? Is this the same approach taken by Native tribes?

Dare I say, portraying this as a one or the other, to follow the authors analogy, a "human" way of thinking about this. It doesn't have to be a this vs that narrative. We can pick and choose our optimizations. Not everything must be about power and purist intellectual pursuit. Where would a long term legacy focus while lowering of dependency lay? Or a long term desire to increase power, but reducing an impact on nature?

In an era where knowledge is power, how do you distinguish the two? Is a deep knowledge of the inner workings of nuclear science, or the biology of pathogens elvish?

> Good heat pumps aren't of the air conditioner type. Our heat pump uses two 60m deep drilled holes. Thus heat exchange happens in the ground, which is always more or less 10 degrees Celsuis.

Good point. The source and destination of heat can be air, water, or "ground source". But it's still all just the same concept as A/C units. Pump heat to one place, using less energy than what it would take to heat it using resistance heating. There is nothing special about ground source heat pumps, except that they're a pain to install in densely populated areas.

All types of heat pumps, unfortunately, often leak. Depending on the type of refrigerant they use, this can be a serious climate concern as well.

Gas to electricity efficiency is low so you loose more then half the energy when producing electricity from gas. Using a 90 percent efficiency furnace to heat water directly with gas is the better solution.

Graphics-wise, the assumptions are quite different. Game scenes are a large collection of low-detail objects that are constantly moving and not all visible at once. CAD scenes are a small collection of high-detail objects that don't move except in response to input events.

If the CAD project is big and serious, I would be afraid of eventually hitting some limitation of the game engine that is hard to work around due to such different assumptions.

Libimobiledevice – Open-source library to communicate with iOS devices natively
My personal belief is that it's not meaningfully true or false to talk about human nature, as if we can simplify the complexity of contextual behavior into a single boolean variable.

At various points, I have believed that human nature tends towards the bad. As I've gotten older, I realize that people sometimes behave in good ways in bad situations; they sometimes behave poorly in situations where it would be easy to do the right thing. The same person could do both, within a 10 minute span. Heck, I even believe that people's behaviors would change if the simulation could be rewound and replayed.

Human interaction is so complex. If you expect me to behave poorly because you're in a bad mood right now, and I live down to your expectations, how should we interpret it? I don't believe it says anything generalizable about either of our natures - we could simply be having a series of bad days that makes it more difficult to act nobly.

If one of your key beliefs so colors your view of your fellow humans, it's probably a very limiting belief. For me, I don't think there's much value or truth in predisposing myself to negativity by projecting it forward. Especially when there's no real benefit to doing so.
Their online selection was enormous ~2010 when they still had the DVD business, and crucially all of the movie studies still thought online was a fad and were happy to cut deals to stream their entire catalogs for pennies. Netflix was unbelievable back then and felt like it had every movie in existence. Over the years all of that back catalog has been clawed back and Netflix morphed into more of a showcase for their own content. But for a few golden years it was amazing to go in and like/dislike a bunch of stuff to see it just start recommending and streaming tons of classic films I always wanted to see.

Closed source is just such an inferior development model. Not that bad practices and stupid mistake would not happen in open source. It has happened and will certainly happen again.

But more eyes are always better. And people who value deep technical understanding over just making money are often found in an open source ecosystem. It is incredibly frustrating to have to work with black boxes like Windows where you have inferior choices to explore and fix things.
