So if you had an ISO of a dreamcast game, it is possible to burn it to a CD-R and play it on an unmodified console (when it was first cracked it had to be a boot disc with a swap). The exploit was some sort of a software hijacking of the console's ability to play MIL-CDs which were used for interactive music discs in Japan.

Copying itself from the source discs (GD-ROMs that had their grooves packed closer together than a traditional CD for extra capacity), from what I can remember reading, was primary done via a dreamcast console (perhaps initially it was done via a development kit) and a serial cable or ethernet adapter.

I think over the years more means of doing the GD-ROM copy became available, like firmware overwrites of certain PC drives.
nobody needs to "dismiss the idea", the null hypothesis is that brains don't exploit quantum phenomena. In the absence of any reason for them doing so, and the lack of evidence that the do so, the onus is on the quantum brain folks to come up with better falsifiable theories.
Pulling up a thread from lower down - this didn't seem to get struck because it's a math test. It seem to have gotten struck down because it's actually an english test.

(1) the only difference is for non-white people who took the test in french.

| % Successful (EN) | % Successful (FR)

White | 86% | 84%

Non-White | 82% | 55%

(2) white french speakers (e.g., Quebecois) in Canada are much more likely to also speak english than non-white french speakers (e.g., immigrants from former colonies).

(3) english-to-french translations in Canada often suck, requiring french readers to back-translate to english to understand wtf something is saying.

Admittedly, 2 and 3 are anecdotal, but suffice to say it's more complicated than at first blush.

> Learning science is at the bedrock of critical thinking, reasoning and rationalizing and enables people to actually apply the scientific method.

Many people who learn how things function don't learn critical thinking or reasoning.

People can be told that something works a certain way because it's science. Just trust the people who told you because they sit in positions of expertise or authority. They people don't have critical thinking. They have trust of certain people for certain reasons.

I'm a proponent of critical thinking and reasoning. It's often missing. STEM isn't teaching it.

Maybe what we need is to teach the basics of philosophy, logic, and reasoning in school. You can teach this apart from STEM and it's useful to STEM, too.
This is, suddenly, a FAQ for us.[1]

Many, many pre-sales conversations are now focused on whether or not we hash files or keep databases of file hashes, etc. Do we collude with other cloud providers to report file incidence. Or, for people who really have no idea who they are talking to "which cloud do (you) run on top of".

This was not the case before. I think the advent of 'rclone'[2] has created a lot of use-cases that very efficiently use (cheap online drives) and all the kids are storing their warez with it.

Yes, trivially easy to defeat with encryption and rclone has a very nice and simple workflow for this.

Market forces generally cannot stop a monopoly without government interaction. It's simply too powerful. They either buy upstarts or sue them into destruction in court. The only other way is if technology has a huge shift and the monopoly can't keep up before an interloper comes in and disrupts. That doesn't look to be happening anytime soon. I only see "Web3" and "Metaverse" and neither of those really spark joy in most people.

No it isn't. The claim was "provenance matters". Your claim, "but NFTs of stolen art exist" is non-responsive. Stolen art isn't the norm, it's the exception, IRL and on-chain, it's not honest to imply otherwise, and you know better than that.
In Scotland in the 90s, after a few years, they just put me in a class with kids with down syndrome when everyone else was in Math and tried to teach me 1:1, and then when I moved to Canada I had 2 more years of High School and they just didn't make me take math because there was no way I'd manage it and there was no point in stopping me graduating because of it so I was given special consideration as someone with sever and complex special needs.

Same. Mixergy 10 years ago was able to hustle a lot of interviews with really famous/interesting people, that helped Mixergy get traction and grow, despite the interviews themselves being pretty bland.

I'm sure with experience they have gotten better. Although to your point maybe Andrew is "bigger" than his guests now, changing the dynamic.

"The problem is that most people are not exposed to real-life English. It's either quite artificial language during classes or well spoken lines in movies."

This is true of most languages. My favourite example in Mandarin Chinese that appears very often in TV shows and films, "what are you looking at?" 看什么看？

On the surface, this should be pronounced as "kan shenme kan", Chinese people like to add particles to things, in this case it gains a "-na", and the whole thing when said quickly actually reduces to something approximating "ka'me ka-a". When you've heard it a few times, you just recognise it, but unless you have a native to explain it (or good subtitles), it's impossible to guess.

I should add that this example is particular to the North, especially Beijing, but other areas have similar but different effects.
That seems true, but unsatisfying. If you only consider a finite time, you can only use a finite number of digits is the idea? Or can infinite time also work, because laws of thermodynamics?

Either way though, then doesn't your model of the universe just need an extra parameter, the number of digits to care about? Seems like everything else being equal, the fewer unmotivated parameters in your model, the better. Especially because this would rely on internal details of what happens in the universe, seems unlikely to be true unless this is a simulation.
I think what you're saying is that the person getting stolen from has a duty to surrender their property to avoid escalating. That sounds absurd to me? The person doing the stealing is the one escalating as the natural state is the original owner keeping possession of their property. "Give me your wallet." "No." -- What happens next and who is the one escalating?

I doubt a thief would stick around for the cops to arrive. And I do think everyone knows you don't pull a gun until you're ready to fire it to neutralize a threat. (A truck is probably not a theat unless it's trying to run you over.)
As far as I understood a whole availability zone went down; today is also the day a lot of people understand why "multi-AZ" matters, so I don't think it's fair to say that services are down because the whole AWS is down.

A source of deeper understanding leading to 'not real' could be the realization that basically everything we experience isn't real. Our senses give us a very small set of samples from which we interpolate and extrapolate to give a full description of what those samples are of. If anyone was to be so aware of their own processes they would have to conclude that perception is imagination.

If you read the preprint that first blog links to, they didn’t actually find a negative efficacy with any kind of confidence. They find large confidence intervals that include zero, with large(ish) p-values to boot.

> thats not what liberal arts education mean

i didnt provide a definition for liberal arts.

also your own link is contradictory to your earlier comments...

> Academic areas that are associated with the term liberal arts include:

Life sciences (biology, ecology, neuroscience)
Physical science (physics, astronomy, chemistry, physical geography)
Logic, mathematics, statistics, computer science
Philosophy
History
Social science (anthropology, economics, human geography, linguistics, political science, jurisprudence, psychology, and sociology)
Creative arts (fine arts, music, performing arts, literature)

this states that philosophy and biology are both liberal arts. Along with physics and other STEM topics. Linking this implies you agree that STEM is important, as much so as Philosophy, which i agree is an important topic along with all those in this link.
Our API is just appsync (graphql) + lambdas + dynamoDB so, theoretically, we shouldn't have been affected. But about 1 in 3 requests was just hanging and timing out.

No, I am not. The GP said that it is a popular method lately and I explained that it has been happening for years. What TFA is saying is that there will be more communication about files being blocked, but it doesn't suggest to me this is a response to this kind of spam. What probably happened is a file BigCorp wanted to share was opaquely blocked so now Google feels the need to provide better communication.

If Google were genuinely interested in stopping the spam, they would create a way for recipients to establish which organizations could send files to them.
In the event that there isn't, you should try to be the first!

Would you be able to expand at all about the ACH/AWS connection, obviously without identifying details?

Was it just a miscommunication around AWS billing and them thinking you weren't paying? Or did AWS somehow put itself in the middle of, or react to, your use of ACH payment processing for *non-AWS* receivables or payables?

If the latter, that's a business risk I'd never even thought about. I'm not even sure how they'd know. But I'm thoughtful that things like the MATCH list [0] exist, and how easily a merchant can accidentally wind up on these lists from either human error or a small amount of high-value chargebacks. If cloud providers are somehow paying attention to merchant services reputation, that would be very scary for many businesses!

You touch on a really important point here that I feel is totally underreported: marketing. My friend group all had Saturns or wanted them. I remember it being a big topic for us how there were constantly PlayStation ads everywhere while they were pretty much absent for the Saturn, especially on TV where Saturn ads existed but were terrible and and they were almost never run (this was in Germany). Our own narrative always had been that it was lack of marketing and bad marketing that killed the Saturn.

I'd love to see some actual data on marketing spent in different regions for the consoles.
I agree. Windows is "free" for most gamers too. If you're building your own PC you need to buy a license, but the majority of steam users are definitely on pre-builts or laptops.

Is geometry considered pure math? Funny you should ask, I was I thinking about that, I guess I'd just teach it via leading lines, and maybe look at the required geography prior to the class. Although I have a degree in art and I've never considered perspective in the context of geometric math, and I'm not sure it would be required to teach primary school art (or high school for that matter?)
Interesting stuff. Haven't heard of the Lilium specifically, but have seen other distributed electric propulsion concepts here and there. DEP is such a nice idea, eliminating a lot of the problems with helicopters/fixed wing aircraft (noise, space requirements etc.) to carve out a new category of aircraft that is perfectly suited to an emerging technology (high energy density batteries).

If we ever do get flying cars, they will use distributed electric propulsion.

Yeah, I looked at trailer sailers (although I wanted a cabin), but it wasn't really viable for the types of travel I wanted to do. Now that my life and location are slightly more predictable, a 7m with a small cabin that could go on a trailer would be ideal. (Although I'm sure I won't end up making that sensible choice.)
I belive this is a really good take on the matter, and somehow you are the first person I see bringing it up.

When a court says that there is no evidence for something, they mean that no evidence was presented to them by the plaintiff (or defendant). It is not the job of the court to be an expert on every subject, it is the job of the plaintiff to present whatever evidence is necessary to support their case. The role of the judge is to weigh the evidence presented to them instead of seeking out evidence of their own to support or refute a claim.

It is a matter of ethics that the decision of a judge is based on evidence presented on the record in open court, and that is available to all the parties.
