Repeating myself from upthread here, but it doesn't look like this person was deleted from Wikipedia at all. A newcomer asked if there should be a Strickland article, and a volunteer on the project said "based on the article you came up with, it doesn't look like there should be". The newcomer didn't have to ask; they could have (and probably should have) just posted the article directly, which is the ordinary process.
Is there any country that hasn't been wrong footed by covid at some point? And with Delta at R value of 7 (?) and lots of populations with no effective cold chain for vaccines things could be dicey for the next few years.
A couple of weeks ago I needed to do some very simple PDF "editing": I had 2 PDFs (A and B) and I needed to get some pages 2 (of 5) from PDF-A and 2 (of 5) pages of PDF-B into a single PDF. I tried to do that on Linux Mint and it was a nightmare: Download PDFSam, create PDF from PDF-A with 2 pages, create PDF from PDF-B with 2 pages and then merge those 2 PDFs.

The way I achieve that in my Mac is by opening both file in preview, select and drag the pages I want from PDF-A to PDF-B and then select and delete the pages I don't want from PDF-B.

Why do these simple things have to be so cumbersome in Linux in 2021?

You're being downvoted because everyone knows Wikipedia is built on citations. There's no way for any reader or editor to know whether you know how it works or not.

So Wikipedia is built primarily around not even primary sources but secondary sources for a good reason.

Yes it may lose out in some valuable knowledge such as yours in the process -- but it achieves a greater good of minimizing Wikipedia being flooded by incorrect or even harmful information.

In the absence of an omniscient impartial arbitrer, requiring citations of secondary sources is a pretty good rule.
I agree, Ancillary Justice was one of my favorite books in recent years. I thought the world was really interesting, enjoyed the characters, and found the exploration of federated minds intriguing.
Misogyny is just one of Wikipedia’s numerous faults. But why pay attention? To me this has about the same import as someone somberly pointing out that an informative graffito was erased from the bathroom wall of their favorite restaurant.

I read to enjoy good books being different isn't a virtue in and of itself. I don't know how you make the impending end of the world boring but it manages it.
Yes and no.

I'd argue having an unpolished article in need of work is better than a stub as it encourages interaction.

Not to mention being told to stop using a paywall for citing a journal (which is now out of print) as a source.
I am still heavily struggling to get motivated to do work, or many things in my life, because it is so hard to focus or care. I'm not a nihilist; I simply don't feel motivated to do certain things despite knowing I would feel more proud and satisfied if I did it.

I acknowledge ritual and "doing things for others" is a component in my life: I joined a team sport years ago specifically to work out, because I would be obligated to do it vs. skipping it. I could drink alone or read alone, but I go to the bar to see people and be around people. I find it easiest to clean my home when I'm on a voice call with someone.

I haven't figured it all out.
Not always easy, but thanks for the reminder to step away when I'm feeling spicy.
There's been a lot of focus on the likelihood of collisions and whether someone could upload eg; an image with a matching hash to your device to "set you up", etc. But what's still extremely concerning is that there is still no guarantee that the hash list used can't be coopted for another purpose (eg; politically insensitive content).
How do you tell before such an award is granted whether someone's work is Nobel-worthy or not? There's plenty of already-published works right now that will earn dozens of Nobels to some people in the next decade -- care to tell us which works we should be looking for?
I recommend that you use Clearpath servos. It is a step up in budget, but the motion is much smoother and there is no vibrations which are somewhat inherent in steppers.

Linear motors are great, but are overkill unless you are concerned with the lost motion inherent in any screw, r&p, or belt. servos and double nut ball screws are adequate for almost everyone (including Mazak, DMG, HAAS, etc).

That isn't true. Did you read the complaint?

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/ecf_75-1_ft...

It specifically discusses the 2012 consent order, approved by the FTC, in which it penalized Facebook and allowed future uses consistent with the consent order. It's not relying on that as a basis for reevaluating the legality of the mergers.

The complaint does not explicitly describe why the FTC has changed its mind, but the general idea seems to be that over time Facebook has demonstrated a pattern of buying competitors that wasn't apparent to the FTC in 2012 or 2014. It has nothing to do with data per se.

Thanks! Yes we believe it is revolutionary as well. However, blockchain + construction is not the first use case you think of here and we know lots of companies have tried to slap blockchain on any use case.

It makes sense here though because The building process involves 50 dis-trusting stakeholders who suffer from low margins and work on projects that fail 70% of the time. They also create upwards of 750,000 documents which is complex and costly to manage.
Companies on these projects send a lot of important information, and data to each other; blockchain creates a trusted digital environment that these companies can collaborate in.
What do you mean?

You run what's supposed to run the same way you would anything else. It's the same for the environment variables.

I suspect part of it may also be an intentional effort on the judges parts to provide more exposure to good, lesser known works.
> In order to test things, I decided to search the publicly available ImageNet dataset for collisions between semantically different images. I generated NeuralHashes for all 1.43 million images and searched for organic collisions. By taking advantage of the birthday paradox, and a collision search algorithm that let me search in n(log n) time instead of the naive n^2, I was able to compare the NeuralHashes of over 2 trillion image pairs in just a few hours.

> This is a false-positive rate of 2 in 2 trillion image pairs (1,431,168^2). Assuming the NCMEC database has more than 20,000 images, this represents a slightly higher rate than Apple had previously reported. But, assuming there are less than a million images in the dataset, it's probably in the right ballpark.

It's great to see the ingenuity and attention this whole debacle is receiving from the community. Maybe it will lead to advances in perceptual hashing (and also advances in consumer awareness of tech related privacy issues).
Rain is an intermittent resource. You need to size your capacity to some standard deviation above the mean to get to some confidence level you’re agreeable with. In Central Texas, where I’m at, 10k gallon of for a family of four is sufficient for a Western style life. That’s about 200 barrels — which is way bigger & more expensive than a single system.
People are assuming quite a bit.

If an article about a professor is written and has virtually no references, then it's not the admin's job to do research to see if she is notable or not. It should be tagged as "needs references" and if they are not provided, eventually deleted.

In her particular case, the article didn't even exist - only a draft did - which was not approved because it had no references. The rejection notice specifically suggests resubmitting with references.

The story/study about bias is interesting, but they picked a poor example to showcase.
The "bargain" Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Arts is 30k per year for tuition, plus the cost of living in LA: https://laafa.edu/tuition-financial-aid/

"Engineers are hired to create business value, not to program things"

FFS. True enough, but it's still claptrap. One quote from George Orwell really struck for me: "speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."

It's why now when people ask me what I do, I say "programmer", not "software developer". Actually, I usually say "computer programmer", because otherwise people get confused and think it might be to do with programming videos. Like programming your video recorder was a job, or something.
I wouldn't. That's why I wrote Harbormaster, so I can track what's running and what isn't.

https://kotaku.com/we-are-explorers-in-search-of-mystery-in-...

This one crystallized for me a feeling that I'd always felt deep inside but never known how to express.

I'd found it in virtual worlds, sure, but it goes far beyond that. Even beyond fiction. This longing for something beyond the fold, something that can never be reduced or pinned down or fully understood, a wormhole in understanding that always begs you to keep seeking, keep moving, keep wondering and imagining. The fundamental belief that there's always more out there above and beyond our grasp, and that that is a good thing, and not something to be remedied.

What's described here is one of the most important north-stars in my life, if I'm being honest. It has almost religious significance to me.

> Mystery is not merely the unknown. It is the impossibility of knowing and yet the continual attempt to know. It is unknowability itself. It is futile and essential.

Ask HN: What's the best cloud storage for small non-tech businesses?
Hi community, a befriended practitioner wants to share files with their customers. Currently she uses Google Drive which is a bad choice from the data privacy perspective -- particularly when it comes to storing personal health data. What paid or self-hosted services would you suggest to non-tech savvy owners of small businesses?
Well, when you're wrong, and especially when you're exceptionally wrong as in this "corner case", it makes a lot of sense to try to understand what kind of process failure and institutional biases may have played a part in the bad decision. That's what the article's about.
If we're going to change the format, why not just use the record separator, and field separator characters. They've been around since ascii.
The thinking that key exchange need to be robust and P2P makes alternative secure solutions harder: most of the times big companies don't want to be caught doin a man-in-the middle attack, so iMessage or even Facebook is practical enough for it, as long as the key exchange can be verified on any other comunications channel easily.

We would be in a much better position right now with email privacy if the version of PGP that doesn't defend from an active attack would have been deployed worldwide.

Not the same. Lenin believed in a democracy of not more than 8 or so people. The bolsheviks won the Soviet elections and Lenin still staged a coup.

The American Constitution is an indirect democracy. Direct at the local level, indirect at the Federal level (though eventually by statute and amendment it became direct for Congress).

Nonsense. That "failure mode" was designed for. It has happened a few times. Working as expected.

Which parts of the UNIX APIs feel like good fits for modern C++ to you?

This reminds me of BeOS which claimed to be a C++ operating system and had abstract classes like "BStatable" representing things that can be "stat'd" and which comes with a bunch of methods that use out-pointers for integers that can in turn be bit-compared to constants like S_IWUSR. Very C++. Much object orientation. Wow.

[ Behind the scenes of course it's the stat() system call you remember from Unix and C. ]

It's true that there are really significant libraries people care about for C++ and some of those libraries existed five, ten, in a few cases even twenty-five years ago, but the older they are the uglier they get and more likely they are to drive people away from C++ rather than toward it. If your argument becomes something like "Why use Rust when C++ has COM?" you might as well reveal your membership of the Rust Evangelism Strike Force.

> don't experience the high that those without get from such stimulants

This is an urban legend doctors used to tell parents to get them ok with the idea of their kids taking stimulants. Amphetamines are “go pills”; they make you more productive in low doses and get you high in high doses whether you have ADHD or not.
If you are using glibc you really need to see what clone() flags are being passed as fork() is just mapping to clone() with defaults now.

Now some of the other libc variants used by space optimized containers like alpine will still use the legacy fork()

But I constantly see developers confused because they were taught that the v7 style fork() is still used in modern POSIX.

It is didactic and not a rule, focusing on clone() helps get past the change in behavior for both threads and processes.

This author seems to have missed this change in behavior and went on a few crazy paths.
>> All of the state taxes, last time I checked, are regressive

Wait, what? The state tax in New York State is certainly progresive: it starts at 4% if you earn less than $8k, and goes up to 10.9% on incomes above $25 MM [1]. California is much more progressive: 1% for less than $9k, 13.3% above $1 MM [2].

Right, the Nobel Prize didn't make her notable, it recognized her existing notability. What made her notable was the work she did before she got the prize. Wikipedian editors incorrectly failed to recognize her notability, because their byzantine bureaucracy is riddled with blind-spots.
The OP mentions that two countries have to agree to add a file to the list, but your concern is definitely valid:

> Perhaps the most concerning part of the whole scheme is the database itself. Since the original images are (understandably) not available for inspection, it's not obvious how we can trust that a rogue actor (like a foreign government) couldn't add non-CSAM hashes to the list to root out human rights advocates or political rivals. Apple has tried to mitigate this by requiring two countries to agree to add a file to the list, but the process for this seems opaque and ripe for abuse.
> By taking advantage of the birthday paradox, and a collision search algorithm that let me search in n(log n) time instead of the naive n^2

Someone got more details on that? How does the birthday paradox come into play here?
It may not be, so honestly I think my objection is best dismissed. Once I ran down the actual chain I mostly sorted things out with a cooler head.

However, the line of thinking was if Apple has a secondary classifier to run against visual derivatives, the intent is it can say "CSAM/Not CSAM". Since the NeuralHash can collide, that means they'd need something to take in the visual derivatives, and match it vs an NN trained on actual CSAM. Not hashes. Actual.

Evidence, as far as I'm aware, is admitted to the public record, and a link needs to exist, and be documented in a publically and auditable way. That to me implies any results of a NN would necessarily require that the initial training set be included for replicability if we were really out to maintain the full integrity of the chain of evidence that is used as justification for locking someone away. That means a snapshot of the actual training source material, which means large CSAM dump snapshots being stored for each case using Apple's classifier as evidence. Even if you handwave the government being blessed to hold onto all that CSAM as fitting comfortably in the law enforcement action exclusions; it's still littering digital storage somewhere with a lotta CSAM. Also Apple would have to update their model over time, which would require retraining, which would require sending that CSAM source material to somewhere other than NCMEC or the FBI (unless both those agencies now rent out ML training infrastructure for you to do your training on leveraging their legal carve out, and I've seen or come across no mention of that.)

Thereby, I feel that logistically speaking, someone is commiting an illegal act somewhere, but no one wants to rock the boat enough to figure it out, because it's more important to catch pedophiles than muck about with blast craters created by legislation.

I need to go read the legislation more carefully, so just take my post as a grunt of frustration at how it seems like everyone just wants an excuse/means to punish pedophiles, but no one seems to be making a fuss over the devil in the details, which should really be the core issue in this type of thing, because it's always the parts nobody reads or bothers articulating that come back to haunt you in the end.
My point was not to refute that taxes went up, but rather that they didn't go up in a vacuum.

Wars were financed, population and productivity increased by huge amounts, and the entire economy shifted from an agrarian to an industrial one. The country's massive physical, social and and human infrastructure was built, one that the current high standard of living is still largely dependent on.

It is highly motivated reasoning to only highlight the tax rate increases without the sweeping societal changes that accompanied them.
> Not only are they not releasing Codex (and GPT-3), but in order to get access to the API you have to apply for access and be judged against a proprietary set of criteria that are entirely opaque.

I have yet to hear of one person who has gotten access without either a) being Twitter-notable in the ML space, or b) using a personal connection to jump the queue (I hit up someone a couple steps removed from OpenAI and got lucky). As far as I can tell they are just collecting email addresses to gauge interest, and are not even evaluating people who cold-apply through their form.
