I asked some other dude on this website - do you really want a country with one party in the control of everything (Congress, presidency, governors...)?

I am not from the US, but this is so bizzare to watch. Half of your country voted for Trump, and you just hand-wave them away as "Trumpists" as if they were nutjobs who should be censored. That's half the country which opinions you have just dismissed.

WASI could be extended by "media APIs" to communicate with a host platform window system, rendering- and audio-API. The only question is "where to stop?", because at the end of that road lies a complete browser runtime (I still think it makes sense to extend WASI with a small number of media APIs though).

Node’s child_process.exec() [0] passes the first argument straight into a shell, so you can use whatever shell features you want. The functionality you’re talking about is provided by child_process.spawn() [1] (as long as the shell option isn’t specified).

The exec() documentation actually provides a warning:

> Never pass unsanitized user input to this function. Any input containing shell metacharacters may be used to trigger arbitrary command execution.

Likewise, spawn() says this:

> If the shell option is enabled, do not pass unsanitized user input to this function. Any input containing shell metacharacters may be used to trigger arbitrary command execution.

I do think the naming could be better - why isn’t exec() called shell()?

I'm not sure there's only one other, but I am thinking of Analog Obsession, yes :)

As for deepfakes, it depends on how easily that can be done, and how much 'celebrity' fakeness can outcompete non-celebrity reality. From what I'm seeing in all these fields, they've got a point. If you can identify the #1 most popular celebrity for 'porn wanted of them', the desire for that could well be orders of magnitude beyond 'real person doing actual porn', and removing the identity of the source person seriously devalues them (in the process of making the deepfake porn). They cease to have market value as themselves though they have another kind as 'plausibly standing in for the celebrity while doing deepfake porn'.

There's also the problem of hyper-displays: suppose you want Kardashian porn but you can't have it. So you deepfake it. But what if you chose, since you're doing CGI anyway, to exaggerate the characteristics of your actors, or straight up CGI them, to go way beyond what the human Kardashian would even be? This really complicates the market, I think. We cannot assume that 'deepfakes' will stick to being realistic or plausible: at some point ingenuity will lead to these things being exaggerated versions of themselves.

I wouldn't dismiss your friends' concerns too quickly. In so many ways we're going to a world where unreality substantially outcompetes and crowds out reality. And it's all down to the market dynamics, and exploits within that. A truly free frictionless marketplace doesn't have ethics: those count as friction and will get selected against.

There's an experimental language called Toki Pona[0]. It is just composed of 14 phonemes and 137 root words. It is meant to be learned in a weekend essentially. But you can't easily express abstract concepts in it because of its limitations. Though it was created to have users concentrate on basic things. So there's at least ways to experimentally test this.

> Because to a first approximation everyone understands, and can get, email, while maybe 5% of the population, if that, understand RSS feeds.

At some point in history, 5% or less of the population understood email. RSS feeds are not inherently more complex than email, in fact they're quite a bit simpler. (And even if you don't grok RSS feeds, you'll probably grok a weblog; RSS is only relevant here because it gives the exact same affordances as something like a Mailchimp newsletter, even though it works differently under the hood.)
I've been using DeepLabCut for physiology research, and it's really quite amazing. Manually labeling ~200 frames yields excellent results given decent contrast and lighting. Although the underlying technology itself is probably nothing new, it's packaged with a GUI that makes it very friendly to researchers across fields. The main challenge/obstacle, in my opinion, is hardware - training ResNets still requires hours of powerful GPU time, although DeepLabCut is also capable of using MobileNets with only a small decrease in performance.
> I have zero sympathy for able bodied people that can't cope enough to feed their children.

Growing up in generational poverty and finding myself out of it, I carried a similarly angry perspective about people for a while as an adult.

Insult is too strong a word. Like many here, I think something like this should be opt-in. But I also think the same about "smart recommendations" that try to auto-complete a word I'm typing or add something to my calendar based on recent emails.

I dislike them all and want them all to be opt-in. I think it's predatory by design -- but why anyone would be "insulted" is beyond me.

I'd argue not. They're in the same family of languages, but Schema and Clojure feel offer very different programming experiences. Neither is really better or worse than the other, they're just different.

Personally, I would probably pick Clojure as a primary implementation language because it's big and enterprisey and heavyweight and has all the tools and whatnot that come with that. And I would be more inclined to pick Kawa for high-level scripting, DSLs, and suchlike, for the same reason.
Being disappointed by classic open source OCR I started an attempt to package neural net based approaches (https://github.com/gtsoukas/scene_text, don't use it, it is crap), then I found out that Googles' ML Kit (https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/vision/text-recognition) gives quite good results, as long as it is for latin based character sets.

> The main conclusion is that they should be prioritized to people who have not had prior infection

You're leaving out the primary finding, here is the actual conclusion from the study I previously cited [1]:

- "Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before."

> this study in particular predates the significant spread of the delta variant, and there is particular concern about reinfection from that variant

I agree on the general point. Relevant to the discussion is the fact that the OP paper addresses this, here are relevant excerpts:

- "Our findings show that most COVID-19 patients induce a wide-ranging immune defense against SARS-CoV-2 infection, encompassing antibodies and memory B cells recognizing both the RBD and other regions of the spike, broadly-specific and polyfunctional CD4+ T cells, and polyfunctional CD8+ T cells."

- "The immune response to natural infection is likely to provide some degree of protective immunity even against SARS-CoV-2 variants because the CD4+ and CD8+ T cell epitopes will likely be conserved."

- "Thus, vaccine induction of CD8+ T cells to more conserved antigens such as the nucleocapsid, rather than just to SARS-CoV-2 spike antigens, may add benefit to more rapid containment of infection as SARS-CoV-2 variants overtake the prevailing strains."

These findings hint that naturally acquired immunity may actually be more robust to variants of concern in comparison to the immune response induced by vaccination. But admittedly this has not been proven yet.

This is as inexcusable as racism. Over the past few years many have been challenged to examine their own biases and privilege, in certain contexts for perfectly valid reasons. Anybody engaging in this type of othering toward skeptics and contrarians lacks self-awareness and empathy to the same degree as a racist.

Surely "she" should be changed to "they"? It was Hewish who designed the radio telescope that allowed the fine time-resolution needed to detect pulsars, they investigated the signals together, Bell herself uses "we" when talking about the discovery [1], supports the decision of the Nobel committee [2], and the existence and characteristics of pulsars were all proposed before their discovery, by other scientists [3]. The documentary of course omits this, and even includes her false claim that "back then, nobody knew what a pulsar was, until I found the first two". The great journalists at the Times did not bother to give a quick glance at wikipedia to check their story.

Sourced from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar#Discovery

[1] At this point, Bell said of herself and Hewish that "we did not really believe that we had picked up signals from another civilization"

[2] Bell claims no bitterness upon this point, supporting the decision of the Nobel prize committee.

[3] The existence of neutron stars was first proposed by Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky in 1934, when they argued that a small, dense star consisting primarily of neutrons would result from a supernova. Based on the idea of magnetic flux conservation from magnetic main sequence stars, Lodewijk Woltjer proposed in 1964 that such neutron stars might contain magnetic fields as large as 1014 to 1016 G. In 1967, shortly before the discovery of pulsars, Franco Pacini suggested that a rotating neutron star with a magnetic field would emit radiation, and even noted that such energy could be pumped into a supernova remnant around a neutron star, such as the Crab Nebula.

What equal power? Even if you have the launch and weapons capability, kinetic bombardment from space is not effective against a moving vessel. Aircraft carriers are faster than you think. They're also incredibly important in air superiority, and controlling the air is what wins wars.

Assuming you can successfully attack one, you still have plenty of cruisers, assault ships, support craft, secondary/light carriers, subs, and several other carrier groups now headed straight for you. It's not like countries can't make a crazy plan to take out a single carrier right now, it's what would happen after that is the deterrent.

The highest profile journals (Nature, Science, The Lancet in medicine, ...) have some tendency to go for sensationalism. They want to publish radical, ground-breaking research more than there is actual new ground-breaking results happening. So they also end up publishing mediocre research presented as ground-breaking, and some less-than-accurate research where results are exaggerated to make them look ground-breaking.

>If you have the ear of strcat, I urge you to to talk to them about this kind of paranoid conspiracy thinking that leads them to directly accuse me (and others in this thread) of being a co-conspirator in a vast plot to undermine GrapheneOS. It's fantastic thinking and it damages the reputation of what is otherwise a gift to the community.

It's not conspiratoral thinking. It's plainly obvious if you go into the CalyxOS Matrix rooms that the leaders often spread misinformation about GrapheneOS or allow it to flourish. They also spread misinformation about CalyxOS to promote it, such as claiming signature spoofing has no security drawback as implemented on CalyxOS.

You don't see other OSes and projects spreading misinformation. Likewise, GrapheneOS doesn't attack LineageOS, /e/, etc. we don't discourage people from using them, except saying that yes, they are insecure, so be aware of that. We don't spread attacks and other projects are free to criticize GrapheneOS for legitimate things.

However, criticizing it for legitimate things is far different from concern trolling in the GrapheneOS rooms, getting banned, and then portraying it in the Calyx rooms as GrapheneOS being toxic, which is a common tactic. You can see this using the Logbot service: just look up "concern troll" in the GrapheneOS rooms, see what comes up, and compare it with the messages around the same time in the Calyx rooms. It's quite evident. Of course, I highly doubt you'll sincerely do that considering you're simply calling us paranoid, but to anyone watching that's what you should do.

>I have been on Hacker News a long time, posting on everything from sex worker rights to Telegram to Emacs. I don't know about your Matrix room, I've never visited it. I have no interest in impersonating anyone save myself.

No one said that you impersonated anyone. The point strcat brought about impersonation was that a person from the Calyx community went and impersonated the Bromite developer, attempting to start conflict between Bromite and GrapheneOS.

>I don't see that anywhere here in this thread. I see a thread that should have been a space for celebrating a cool more-private, more-secure Android project being hijacked because its competitor's lead developer believes themselves to be the target of a conspiracy. A conspiracy that isn't even occurring in the very thread they're engaged in:

CalyxOS isn't particularly secure but that's beside the point. That's not the issue and it's fine to not be security-focused. The issue is that the Calyx community and developers consistently spreads misinformation. Just look at what one of them is doing right now with microG.

>From who? Nobody here is doing this! Especially maliciously.

Says the person calling people paranoid for trying to stop misinformation being spread. You can see what people are doing in this thread whether maliciously or nonmaliciously.

>If you think CalyxOS is implementing a feature that is harming users, you might try and communicate with their community in a cooperative, direct way, rather than this self-destructive crusade GrapheneOS is airing publicly.

And people have, and they get banned from their community.
