My school had a way to keep peripherals from wandering off, but if all you need to do is swap the cables then I’m not sure that would still work. Wrapping the cables into a wiring loom makes that process slower, assuming the loom is complicated enough. Did you ever use heat shrink? Or locking cable ties?

What the school did was run a steel cable behind the desks, then put a loop of the mouse chord through a steel washer and ran the security cable through all the loops. If you secure both ends you can’t get the cables separated even with slack.

The trick is that the hole in the washer had to be smaller than the connector so you couldn’t fish it back through no matter how much slack you get. That could still work for USB-A, but these days the connectors are getting smaller than the diameter of curvature of the cable, so you’d break it trying to do this. And on many peripherals you could destroy the chord without reducing the value of the device. One could cut the cable and install this Trojan one on many devices these days, the only telltale would be that the cable isn’t routed properly, which might be harder to notice immediately.
If the drone can find the CSG it's already done it's job. Close out the perimeter and send the missile, you'll have a perimeter more than small enough for the on-board sensors to scan.

And yes, a small modern drone can penetrate the scanning area of an E2 Hawkeye. It turns out stealth is a lot easier when your platform is much smaller, and you only care about the frontal aspect. Even moreso when you don't have large-wavelength radar.
Would you have read an article with that title? Does that title accurately represent the main findings of the study?
I never had anything serious, just sebaceous cysts and fascia inflammation. On both of those two radiologists worked on them, and everyone was pretty sure it was not cancerous or anything. I think two radiologists are standard for most things where they may recommend a biopsy.

I asked about AI and they couldn't use the one they had on the cyst because it was not trained for ankles.
You could do that, but then you'd need to forgo USB Power Delivery, Qualcomm quick charging, etc.

One thing I've heard other comments mention here is a USB condom (USB data blocker). It's just a male to female adapter with only the power lines patched through, not data lines.
On Reddit, it would have been right before Gamergate became the political opinion spam that never went away. 2014 rather than 2016.
As with most things, trying to automate everything is really hard because things are rarely built to be easily automated. And sometimes it's very hard to extract the easy to automate part from the whole. Driving is a very good example.

Communist USA brand tax cattle state property objects must comply with the Unity Science Health Code or be executed for insubordination.
You have to add a context where the number of radiologist is extremely limited, otherwise the exercise is pointless, but:

a different question I would have is, do the AI models know when they are unsure. If so, you could use the AI, and keep the prediction when it is certain, and call a radiologist otherwise. Obviously, in this scenario, you have measured the accuracy of the certainty prediction.
I see nothing about battery life impact. Has that even been measured?
What bad can you do with someone's IBAN account number? Nothing, unless a bank is somehow totally incompetent.

It's basically the same as an email address. You can't read someone's email inbox just by knowing their address. Similarly, you can't send money out of a bank account just by knowing the number. (You could spam them with money, but most people wouldn't mind.)
While that's true, you need to consider that neurons don't act alone in a real system. Not only must one simulate the dozens of types of ligands and receptors in a typical neuron, but also how those ligands are modulated not only by neighbors, but also at a macro-scale (for example, if an organism increases serotonin levels due to some external stimuli, that will have significant effects across the nervous system, even parts that ostensibly have nothing to do with responding to that stimuli.)

So given ~20 types of receptors, ~8 response types ranging from inverse agonist to full agonist, and conservatively, 20 relevant concentrations per ligand, we have over 3000 states dictated both by macro and local conditions.
Yes. Women are awesome in tech, and the field needs much more of them.

But the mass media portraying her as a rebel for coloring her hair, that's like... Tabloid stuff.
I'm pretty sure this would look kind of weird under xrays. They probably see thousands of cables and it'd be pretty easy to spot the difference.

Nets doesn't "represent" banks, they provide them with services. In this particular case, they're there representing themselves. If you're going to build a competitor to Visa/MasterCard, you need banks on board, but also somebody specialised in rolling out the infrastructure.
I am using a cheap Xiaomi (there's not much choice where I live), and a few PMS5003 sensors scattered around the apartment. It works fine for 25 m²-something room when it's relatively clean outside (around 100 µg/m³ or less), but you really have to push it (and suffer the resulting noise) when pollution outside goes above 300 µg/m³ or so. It's been able to keep indoor air around 20 µg/m³ with outside levels going above 800 µg/m³, but I have to use ear plugs because the noise is impossible to tolerate for more than half an hour (and it's pretty difficult to sleep next to).

If you let the heavily polluted air in (a few hundred µg/m³), then close the window and set the purifier to maximum power, it cleans the room in ~20-25 minutes.
I don't get what these can be used for. Is the idea to swap it out with your victim's iPhone charging cable and use it to exfiltrate photos and stuff from the iPhone?
No it doesn't. The government operates part of the legal system. It's an oppositional system. You can fight the government and get a favorable outcome. It happens every day in all 50 states. People are so spooked of a weak, inefficient government staffed by underpaid and corrupt losers. Sure, you can't win every time, but it's not like it's impossible. People just want to build up the government to be something it isn't... it's not god: it's mostly just a bunch of fat people in Washington who couldn't make it in the private sector.

That's fine, the project devs of GrapheneOS (I assume that's who Micay is?) can do what they please, but when your comments adds needless disparaging remarks, it outlines the exact point I made above.

O’Reilly Building Event-Driven Microservices is a solid book to continue.

I would not recommend Architecture Patterns with Python. Some patterns there are questionable and introduce more complexity. Also, they talk about using Kafka and Service Bus in the book, but never mention an important issue you may face in real implementation: consistency in updating both a message bus and a database that usually is addressed with Outbox pattern https://microservices.io/patterns/data/transactional-outbox....

I like this in general but the security section is ofuscation.

Fundimentally DHTs are vulnerable to eclipse/Sybil attacks because you can mine for/choose node IDs to compromise an arbitrary entry. You don't need to attack the entire network. Just a critical entry.

This needs a semi-centralized (ideally user configured) source of truth to fall back on to prevent attackers from just implicitly deleting critical records by filling up the DHT node-space adjacent to them and refusing to serve it.
Even the judge who approved the settlement feels that something is deeply wrong with it:

> "This is a bitter result," Federal Judge Robert Drain said Wednesday in a lengthy explanation of his approval of the settlement. "I believe that at least some of the Sackler parties also have liability for those [opioid] claims... I would have expected a higher settlement."

Several states have already announced plans to appeal the settlement.

This is unlikely to be the last word we hear about this.

For years I had planned to make a DIY one, but never got round to it. But a week ago bought one of the IKEA ones, plus a carbon filter, and I've been very happy. The air feels cleaner and somehow just nicer.

Lots of reviews say it's underpowered for a normal sized room compared to alternative products. But for me, the alternative is a DIY one that I still wouldn't have got round to making.

I'd recommend it.

Pretty amazing this ivermectin as horse drugs meme that phizer blatantly started. Here in Puerto Rico it’s very common to have ivermectin prescribed because we have rain forests.

Not an installer no. The installer part is not provided, the result is an executable that works out of the box. The installer would then take that and put it somewhere, but you don't need to. It can even work from a USB key.

All the cables were terminated inside the box and strapped every 1 inch with cable ties. Nothing was exposed that could be disconnected other than the monitor IEC lead.
The cables have 2km WiFi with a directional antenna (presumably on the other end), you could probably get similar range out of most of your devices if your bases station had a directional antenna, but that eliminates much of the value for many WiFi applications.
So the other 6% were more accurate? And the top 2%?

We have automated subway where I live, and while they're nice and modern, I understand why people would want the privacy and comfort of a personal car. That's one of the points that isn't mentionned in your joke.

Another is that you could have your car use its AI in the special roads in the city and highways, and the rest of the time drive yourself, where AI is harder to implement. A bit like some hybrid cars where you can do most of the day to day commute on electricity, but for longer road trips you can use gas.
Again, they don't need to whittle down the defences, the CSG is completely unable to stop a volley of Mach 5 missiles. They just need to find the CSG, once. No AD system has every managed anything near a 100% interception rate, even less against surveillance platforms.

There is no ship in the Chinese Navy that can defend against such an assault. But they don't need to, because they largely only care about their backyards. They don't need carriers.

Also the US Navy has no hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missiles. The USN was always very late compared to their oponents as far as AShM go.
Super interesting read. Thanks for that. It puts me in a bit of a zen-like state to remember that everything will be dust in the end no matter what we do now.
Of course, flooding lower-friction reporting websites with fraudulent info is becoming standard operating procedure. Undoubtedly you'll end up with conservative activists doing the same with sites meant to aid in identifying voter suppression, workplace malfeasance, "public" comment on policy changes (cf net neutrality).

The net effect is going to be most of them will be nothing but noise, until they require some strict proof of real identity (which takes away the low friction aspect).
Because you'd share bandwidth with 100k other people in a city. You'd be glad for the days of dialup.
EU being dependent on duopoly of American companies for online payments has been bothering me more and more in recent years. Good to see something happening in the subject.

In Poland, there's BLIK which is a pretty cool thing: a system developed by all major Polish banks, you only need an Android/iOS app of your bank, which generates a 6-digit token valid for 120s, then you use it on payment processor website, or to withdraw money at most ATMs in Poland. Then you get an in-app push notif to confirm the transaction fee and recipient.

Are there any similar solutions anywhere where you can withdraw money without physical debit/credit card? (I'm surprised BTW I never saw an ATM compliant with Google Pay/Apple Pay, they all want plastic)

If you're seeking perfect spacing, look no farther. Here is a very simple strategy that has worked since the beginning.

Sure, some philosophers of science would say that geometry is part of physics, and in that sense the Greeks laid a good foundation indeed; most, though, would view mathematics merely as something of a prerequisite (akin to general literacy), and Faraday, while regretful of not knowing mathematics, did pretty good without it. (This latter fact should not be underestimated: physics is by its nature an experimental science, but the very idea of this, and that experiment is the sole criterion of truth, has occurred to people only relatively recently.)

If you pass the proper option, it will compile everything, including libpython, resulting in a stand alone executable.

there are thousands of incarcerated white collar criminals , some serving very long sentences. It's just that 99% of cases are not newsworthy. Enron was a $50 billion fraud, but people go to jail for $5k fraud too, but that is a lot less exciting from a media perspective than a $50 billion fraud.

It's this sort of sentiment that "the govt. needs to do more, we need more retribution" that explains why the US has such a high prison population. There is the perception that criminals are not being punished, but this is wrong: they are, but it is not in the news except for just a tiny number of noteworthy cases.

It's a settlement. That means that both sides give something up.

The Sacklers would have to be complete morons(indeed, self-destructive morons) to have a settlement that did not include legal immunity, because otherwise they will get sued again and again and again. "Sure, we will give you this money and then someone else can file a lawsuit against us later" is not a stance you can reasonably expect out of anyone.

Instead, we ought to be asking "Why settle?" If you want to understand what's going on instead of feeding the outrage beast that the media has been nurturing in you for the last couple of decades, ask that question. And it's a good question: if it is such a slam-dunk, why did the government say, "Sure, we'll settle?"

Possible answers -- ones that someone could maybe do something about -- would include "Because the lawyers would eat up all of the money" and "There was a payoff to the right parties" and "The government wants the money now instead of later" (this one can be thrown out given the fine repayment period) and "the government feared losing its case." Feel free to add more.

It's a lot more constructive than being pointlessly angry.
> this soup of energy and matter was near-uniform

We can only infer this in the region that we can see in the CMB, which is a small region when re-wound back to the instant after the BB.

What you are suggesting is that this uniformity was infinite in all directions, which is not what we're able to infer given the data we have so far.

Are you even familiar with the idea of the multiverse or bubble nucleation.
People with certain medical conditions that leave their immune systems compromised risk death if they get vaccinated. There exist groups of people that cannot be vaccinated reasonably. Should they be completely shut out of society, locked down at home for the rest of their lives?

I'm a fully vaccinated person in support of all adults being vaccinated, and at the same time, I believe that individuals should make that decision for themselves, or their children, with the best guidance they can get from their doctors. It's not up to the government, reddit, or the Twitter mob to decide. It's not a black and white issue, and you're a vicious ideologue if you believe otherwise. It should be a private decision, and it is patently absurd that vaccine proofs are being touted as the new normal.

AI isn't a stand-alone panacea for this. We've done lost of studies with other radiologists. Taking the union of two "bad" radiologists outperforms a single "good" radiologist. Humans aren't machines, we have bad days. I think the long term benefit of this kind of AI is as an audit AFTER the radiologist has done their assessment. If there is a mismatch, it should trigger a follow-up with a different a radiologist (without telling them the result of the 1st or the AI) to build consensus.
Sort of. I think there's a good argument to be made for part-time self-driving cars with specially-designed highways in places where it makes sense. So you'd drive your car the old-fashioned way from your home on the residential streets until you get to the Automatic Interstate. There, you maneuver into the "pattern" lane and the road and the AI pull you into traffic and drive you to your exit. At that point you're directed out of the pattern and control is given back to you, where you take the side streets to wherever you were going.

It has the advantage that it covers the very common use case where someone says they can't take public transportation because they need mobility at their destination.
This is genuinely what I see 50% of the time I go to Twitter. Every other big website can keep their site loading >99% of the time. The fact that Twitter can’t is beyond me, and speaks to their incompetence.
Sort of, yeah. What I'm mostly saying is, "We don't (yet) take measures that humans can't understand."
Is there not a space between "fully automated subway" and "automationless road" where practical solutions exist? Case in point, what if we changed the materials composition of road paint? Or, what if cars were designed to better alert other cars of their location and speed?

Agreed, it's very heavy for no reason given it's doing pretty much nothing. It's buggy, slow, sluggish at times, with delay on clicks and scroll. It's really a terrible UI given how simple the problem is, and how much money they got.

It's not like they have 1000 of concurrent events like facebook, and their frontend should have nowhere the complexity of their backend. I don't understand how it's even happening.

The most absurd aspect of it is that how slow loading a single tweet is. The timeline could have the excuse of a slow and complicated backend call (but it doesn't, the backend is actually doing ok), but several seconds for one single tweet?
