I would bet everyone has a price for their ethics, no matter the course they took. It is a risk reward calculation, and the bigger factor is probably how one’s tribe reacts to their risk reward calculation.

If your tribe celebrates it for sufficient gain as long as there is no direct physical violence, as I think the environment in many families/socioeconomic circles of the US does, then ethics courses are just a cover your ass solution.

Maybe the goal is mostly to act as braces to keep the spine aligned e.g. keep the neck straight when sleeping on the side, and act as support to avoid the chin "collapsing" on the chest (and the neck over-extending) when sleeping on the back?

I could really use some help with adversarial attacks.

If there's someone trying to use CV to recognize stuff and we are trying to prevent it (basically, a black box situation) - is it viable to use adversarial attacks at all?

Your implication is that whoever has the administrator passwords can tamper with the machine to affect the results. And that someone, who is not the general public, should have access to the passwords. How is that better? So certain chosen individuals an have the power to tamper with the machines, but no one else? Isn't that the exact problem that is concerning people?

Is it difficult to run a forum without the users learning your real identity? That seems like the way to go, but I have no experience with that sort of thing.
I’m struggling to identify what is a uniparty here. I fee that the two parties in the United States have multiple separate issues and behaviors that are mutually incompatible enough to call two different political organizations. For example, when the republicans were in power, very few social programs were passed/rolled out in the 4 years they were in power for. The Democrats in comparison have passed a significant amount of legislation in just 8 months, including new social programs like the child tax credit.

Similarly, the removal and reinstatement of protection for Dreamers also seems to be one of those issues the parties broadly are incompatible about.

If you would like to educate me, I would welcome it! Maybe my understanding of a party is wrong, or my understanding of policies are wrong. I’m not really into politics so I don’t know much.
> Common Lisp is poorly suited to proving that a large program obeys certain strict rules

As I'm sure you know, a Lisper would probably design a domain specific language that was well suited for such proofs. One of the projects I'd like to get around to one day is a Lisp hosted general purpose DSL[1] based on predicate transformer semantics[2] that combines writing specification and program text into a single interactive experience. Think something along the lines of smartparens[3] strict mode, where the editor doesn't allow you to make an edit that will violate the count("(") == count(")") invariant and you modify the tree structure with operations like slurp and barf, but a bit more general.

[1] Haha, I know.

You can vote in any polling place in your state. If you are out of state, you need to go to dedicated interstate polling centers (or vote by mail).

The roll book is very, very big, and includes every registered elector in the state. It's alphabetically sorted by last name. Every election official gets their own roll book that they mark names off.

The way you are supposed to do it is ask:

1. "What is your name?"

(flip through the book and find the right page with the last name, usually just takes a few seconds)

2. "Where do you live?" / "What is your address?"

(find the entry with the right name and correct address; if you can't find it, ask them to go to the 'help desk' where a provisional ballot is provided).

3. "Have you voted before in this election?"

(they should say no, and then you initial a ballot and hand it to them).

These books are centrally checked after the election, so people who vote twice can be investigated.

Yes, you can prune that thing severely. I imagine nearly all branches can be discarded after 5 tiles are positioned and the initial set is invariant to rotations, what leads to "only" many tens of thousands of possibilities.

I hated with a passion those puzzles when I was a child, and the people that claimed that they measured intelligence. I had better things to do than mindlessly rearranging pieces in a board until they fit! Strangely, I have much more patience for that now.

My friend is a practicing doctor and we’ve talked a lot about medicine. The “quick fix” culture is one of his biggest complaints; from his perspective, it mostly comes from profit-seeking hospitals forcing larger and larger case loads. But also, if you’re treating the general public, you’ll encounter a lot of superstition, woo, and “Facebook M.D.s”, so as a patient be prepared to be persistent.

Mitochondrial disease can also be caused by some antibiotics. People tend to think of antibiotics as safe, but some of them can have drastic side effects. Mitochondria are basically bacteria that were incorporated into our cells through endosymbiosis so it's not surprising that treatments to kill off bacteria can also impact them.

The Bhagavad Gita is really a philosophy of living life by calmly performing duty while being outcome independent. It’s one of the popular philosophies that discusses what is right action. Especially what is right action in extremely uncertain and difficult circumstances such as what Oppenheimer faced. The main protagonist of the Gita is a warrior facing his own kinsmen in the battlefield and his charioteer the symbolic representation of the divine guides him through his moral dilemma. Their dialogue is the Bhagavad Gita translated as “The song of the Lord”.

Yes, but oftentimes this is more like:

Must be nice to be extremely wealthy and the greatest ever at a game you've always loved. Unlimited money to fly your kids around to wherever you are "working", huge flexibility of schedule when you're not playing the game, huge relief of stress by doing what you love.

Right. Yes it's diet related but that's because most American's diets are awful in general.

As an n=1 bit of anecdote, I had hypertension for years, capping out somewhere around 180/120. I was put on low sodium diets with no change at all. I was put on blood pressure medication, with modest benefits.

Then one year I arrived at my annual physical with a dramatic drop. What changed? I lost 30 pounds. The next year I arrived with another notable drop, now square in the normal BP range. What changed? I lost another 10 pounds and had picked up a fair amount of cardiovascular exercise. During this time period and to this day I never bother limiting my sodium intake, and I both have a heavy hand in the kitchen as well as eat out a lot, both leading to high levels.

Maybe it's Google's algorithm, as I have clicked on several of the articles from an Android, but it feels to me as I have seen more and more of these "pro commuter" and "how the office is a better place to work than home" articles come out now that we're coming to a point where lock downs are supposed to be ending. In the beginning, all of the opinion pieces seemed to be, "Work from home, is it the wave of the future?" style pieces. It's either journalism trying to ride a wave or being paid to push a narrative. Business as usual in the journalism world.

Naw. Between honest graft and gutted enforcement, I'd assume fraud is rampant. If anything, investors have to be even more cautious today.
It does seem a poor example, but I guess the intended point is that the logical decision should be "will I more enjoy going, or not going?" rather than taking the already "sunk" money into account. Of course in the real world, especially if the money was a significant amount to you, your enjoyment of staying home might genuinely be tainted by the wasted money, and that's just as legitimate a factor as anything else figuring into your "based on where I'm at now" assessment.

I think a better example, maybe appropriate to this forum, might be where you've been spending significant spare time working on a project with dreams of future riches, and it eventually dawns on you the payoff isn't going to happen (maybe the opportunity has passed, or whatever - reason doesn't really matter). The question is do you now continue working on the project to "at least get the satisfaction of completing it, given how much time has been sunk", or do you cut your losses and abandon it. Even this isn't a "pure" example since there's no reason not to continue if the modified goal (satisfaction) is worth the remaining cost to you.

It's probably the case that in most, maybe all, "sunken cost" scenarios there is some benefit to continuing to invest in it, but the "sunken cost" may distort your judgement of assessing that benefit. Even with Concorde, there was considerable cachet and advertising benefit in operating Concorde, even if it wasn't paying for itself operationally.
I'm not woke. I haven't lost my job, been deplatformed, or been branded a "MAGAT". But I tend to not frequent platforms popular with the Elect, I never give out my real name or current employer, and I refuse to talk politics with the Elect. When possible I block them on sight as I do alt-reich cultists. Nor do I get involved with DEI initiatives at work, even if only to oppose them. I just refuse to care, and my silence is ultraviolence.

Not really. Most of the US is run on a very opaque system of electronic machines and poorly thought out processes ostensibly to make it more secure.
Strace shows "ls -f" calls getdents64() also. Same for perl -E 'opendir(my $f,".");say while readdir($f)'. Both call it with a 32k buffer.

That is, glibc() seems aware that getdents64() is the right syscall in both of those contexts.

Either runs in 300ms or so for a directory with a million files on an old laptop via WSL2.

Is this solving a problem Linux used to have maybe? It doesn't seem to be a problem now so long as you call ls in a way that doesn't make it stat() every file. Or does using a larger than 32k buffer with getdents64() really make that much of a difference?
JSON Schema bundling finally formalised
While I think Nicklaus' mindset is commendable, I also think there is a real danger trying to think his lessons are widely applicable.

Jack was by far the best golfer of his era, and he made many millions of dollars playing a game he loved, so he could easily afford things like having his family travel with him everywhere. For nearly all others caught up in the rat race with an unhealthy work-life balance, they can't say the same.

I'll just speak personally for myself, but I know some of my tendencies to over-commit to work are because I, just like Jack, want to be really great at what I do. But at the same time, I don't have anywhere near the same level of comparable talent in my field, so I have to work much longer at it, and I'm still rarely satisfied with the results.

It kind of reminds me of stuff I've read about Usain Bolt, that he's really chill and laid back. When you know you have the innate gifts to never lose, it's easier to feel that way.

This fails to mention that US plumbers were getting higher salaries than Russian engineers, or higher on average than most of people in the West.

The biggest mansions in the town are of: 1. local gang boss, 2. agronomists who went to US for work. (Russian agronomist salary was like 9000 roubles a month 15 years ago)
The word "label" is very important here.

"Smart" children are identified early. After that they are smart because everyone knows they are smart. It is very hard for a person who knows they are not smart to convince a society who knows they are not smart.

Dumb people are sometimes lucky and get something right. That doesn't make them smart. Smart people sometimes make mistakes. That doesn't re-label them as dumb. The important thing is the label you start with. Smart people will recognize the grammatical "mistake" in the previous sentence and understand that this post came from a dumb person.
The entire "expectation culture" we've created around finding what you're suppose to do with your entire life in 4 years of college (or even less if you don't go) is insane.

In my experience, these kind of people are scared of experimenting because they think they might screw something up, and the user-interface doesn't help. My dad has an iPhone, and he doesn't know anything about it. I doubt he's ever closed a browser tab, rearranged his home screen, or switched a running app by double-pressing the home button, and he has problems with the most basic of things. He also has an Apple watch, and the only functions he knows how to use on it are answering calls and activating voice messages ("walkie-talkie"). He has no idea how to sync his phone to the car's radio via Bluetooth, and he still names his contacts in his address book like "AAA Wife" and "AA Home Phone" because he doesn't know there's a favourites button. And he simply doesn't care. He just continues struggling to use his phone without really trying to learn it. My 82-year-old grandmother was better with technology than he is.

With people like this who didn't grow up with tech, everything has to be intuitive and obvious. An iPhone certainly isn't. My dad never had trouble with his Nokia, because everything was laid-out in front of him in a one-dimensional way, and all he had to do was scroll down the list and everything was easy to find. I would never put a computer in front of him, but if I did it would hb a Windows 7 computer.
I really hope I'm reading this wrong, but it looks like the key takeaway here should be that an official responsible for security completely subverted their responsibilities, allowed unauthorized access, and disabled monitoring... and the only reason anyone found out is one of their co-conspirators broadcast the resulting access all over the internet.

If the only way a bank (or its depositors) knew the bank had been robbed was if the robbers told everyone they'd robbed that bank, would we consider the bank secure, no matter what consequences employees faced?

There seems to be a fundamental failure of process with no plans to actually improve security in the future.
