I have a feeling the computing demand for every AI use case the Danish military could want to pursue, could be met by a few mainframes with fewer security risks. Given the work that goes into verifying the data center meets some assumably very high requirements, I imagine mainframes might even be the cheaper solution too.

Seems to me like yet another example of companies successfully lobbying governments to buy unnecessary things.
Other places that are reporting on him say "He was deemed ineligible for an artificial heart pump due to uncontrollable arrhythmia."
Fascinating research into the question of how the first eukaryotic cells arose from prokaryote antecedents.

The ancestors of the mitochondria organelles you see today in every cell in your body were once free swimming bacteria, in a world where there were no animals, and no eukaryotic cells. Planet earth then, and for its first 2 billion years, was populated exclusively by bacteria, or single celled organisms. These cells were about one hundredth the size of the cells in your body.

How did life on earth become more complex?

Billions of years before the Cambrian explosion, when the number of animal species exploded into the millions, something much more basic happened at the cellular level. Cells became more complex.

How?

Maybe cells engulfed other cells, and the engulfed cells survived, forming a partnership or a colony.

Or maybe different types of cells hung out in close proximity, in colonies, which eventually merged into a network of DNA exchanging nodes that keep growing in complexity and interdependency.

We don't know.

This new effort to grow and study archea in vitro gives us something to study and experiment with.
> the standard way that this is done allows minor and point releases to be trusted.

I feel like this event (and previous ones) has taught me that one should NOT trust patch and minor version upgrades to work. Obviously we want them to, but I distinctly recall having "minor" patches that broke existing behavior in the past, and has bitten my team on multiple projects over the last several years. Pinned versions are a giant pain, but having builds suddenly stop working seems worse, because you can't plan ahead for the time to upgrade.
The virus isn't going away. No matter what you do with masks and other measures you'll eventually be exposed. The most you can do is delay it a bit.

If you really had a lot of ffmpeg work to do, then GNU xargs can let you run the jobs in parallel, one for each of your available CPUs. You can even adjust the number of processes up or down by sending the xargs parent the appropriate signals.

I'd love to try this, but but I tend to get motion sick playing doom. It seems to be one of the few FPS games that I can't handle for more than a couple minutes at a time.
Yep, so build in adversarial controls like thresholding. The status quo is already beyond what gh/npm are managing: they already need the mods they aren't hiring. Scanners are helping, but a big part of GH is community tools, so weird not to figure it out here too.

This makes sense if you wanted to sell YC 7% or more of your company. Some of us want the benefit of YC without giving up so much of our company, and the new standard deal doesn't do anything for us.

This is what really put me off Python as somebody who learned Ruby as their first proper (professional 9-5 usage) programming language.

There are other things too, like how print used to be written like a keyword not a function for some reason, and enforced indentation instead of braces or "end" keywords, all just really bugged me. It felt like somebody made YAML Turing complete...

Apple Music didn't have DRM and was viable. GOG didn't have DRM and was viable.
MITM is pretty moot right now with TLS everywhere. Apple is taking this stand because it’s inline with their business.

Zero-rating is really bad for Apple. And by making themselves the virtual network layer, they have the ability to roll out their own last mile networks later.
Is it? In retail, AFAIK, if a store sells you a defective product, they are liable (or at least partly liable). It doesn't matter that some other manufacture made the product. The point being, responsibility is shared.

You're responsible for every dependency you add to your project and that includes all sub-dependencies. Your users will sue you for not doing your due diligence. You may turn around and try to sue your suppliers but that doesn't absolve you of your responsibility.

I'm just trying to understand, they went to the hospital for a totally unrelated reason to Covid or even suspicion of Covid, and then contracted Covid at the hospital.
Twice the capacity, twice the charge time (more or less).
I think this is just how operator overloading works in Groovy:
https://groovy-lang.org/operators.html#Operator-Overloading

"Or" is the name of the "|" operator.
From the looks of it it's impossible to overload "||" in groovy.

By the way the "|" operator and the "or" method both call "pipeTo" directly so a third way to write it would be:

"ls".execute().pipeTo("grep -i old".execute()).waitForProcessOutput(System.out, System.out)
Phenomenological Introduction to PID Controllers
Every country should ban the crypto scams outright. That way no legitimate retailers support it and they can finally collapse. The only "value" in any of them is finding a bigger sucker to give you real money for your fake "money".
Interesting that it's a pig heart!

I was introduced into "pig bladder ground up into magical pixie dust" aka ACell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACell) when it was used to treat my child's heart surgery incision. I was super surprised how well it worked and how quick, too!
So what? Why is Covid the single only thing that matters. Covid is endemic. Mandating masks says “Covid is literally the most important thing for you”.

No. I’m boosted. I’ve got plenty of other problems that are far higher in priority than Covid or the spread of Covid. Nobody should be required by law to wear a mask indoors at this point.
I think that's just because those games are written poorly and don't account for the differences in moving diagonally. If you are moving on a grid, moving forward one tile moves you the length of a tile. Moving diagonally one tile moves you sqrt(2) ~1.4 tile lengths.
I would not recommend a masters. It's done nothing for me. It seems job experience and references would be better. The portfolio idea is good, if you can also work in some collaborative projects to show you can work on a team.

Frankly, with the job market the way it is right now, you can probably find a job as-is. Just don't expect a big name or interesting work.
I tried to make Fizzbuzz on a paper when I first heard of it, and it had a bug printing fizzbuzzfizzbuzz on 15.

If you want a correct program without a compiler/computer I don't think anything is too easy. Maybe like, "make a function returning the sum of two float parameters".
The ideas that masks are new and the need for them doesn't have a clear end-date are the major reasons why the opposition is so insistent. After drugs and terror, the West and especially the US have run out of appetite for endless, unwinnable wars.

(Edit: seat-belts address a threat that ought to be persistent, because it's inherent to driving, so they're easier to accept. Covid is, at least allegedly, temporary.)
But TEX was a rather weak prerequisite to writing TAOCP. It will undoubtedly be re-typeset in the future for either a new device or a new generation. And the font surely an even weaker prerequisite. (But both are totally Knuth's prerogative and I hope no one over chastises him over either decision.)

If the series isn't finished because of TEX, I think we'll feel like it was a bad tradeoff. (But I could see others feeling like TEX is is more valuable than volume 11 or whatever of TAOCP).
Yes thank you for this clarification. Apologies for my being imprecise. Most of the reading I have done has been related to plants and the use of pesticides to intervene.

~700 miles is the magic point at which charging times can be significantly extended to simply be overnight.

Where you are, yes.

In the US, there's a lot of the country spending a lot of months of standard time with sunsets between 5pm and 6:30pm, where the shift would do the most good.
Exactly. If you prononuce it "Dannebrok" we will complain.

Google Fi does everything you ask for (and works with more phones that just those that Google manufactures).
Ah yes, where NFTs are stored on CVS receipts. Given the recent meter long receipts I've gotten from my local CVS, it's entirely possible they are already doing this.
I would have to charge it every 3 weeks.
Why should I need to explicitly state that I want to wait for my process output? I'm in a shell, I put a `&` afterwards if I want things in the background. The model is synchronous by default.
You can't opt out of the societal impact, obviously, but in my experience youtube makes it relatively easy to opt out of this on a personal level: Just turn off the record of your viewing history, and be deliberate about what you like and subscribe to.
The "bad" colors.js existed for less than 24 hours before it was removed by NPM. Similarly the other recent malicious packages were detected and removed quickly.

The idea is that for maliciously published packages like this (both deliberately in this case, and also when the maintainer's account is hacked) that not all packages that depend on this dependency will need the same length of N. Some users will want to pick it up right away, but some very conservative applications may want N to be much longer. It's basically the idea that alpha/beta users can be the canaries, but those who don't want to take any risk can hold back. Right now, unless you've got a lock file, essentially everyone is pulling the latest released version whether they want to be conservative or not.
In other words, hospital beds and other resources don't scale with infection rates.
Are the safety parameters the same? Would it overheat more easily?

There are plenty of immunocompromised people of working age for whom vaccines simply do not work, and who cannot work from home due to the nature of their work. These people can't isolate, even if they're worried.

Ignoring the abhorrent – yet apparently acceptable to you – idea that these people should be left to die (due to what I can only guess is some sort of naive ideation of a "survival of the fittest" concept), these people dying and being hospitalized will certainly have a negative effect on the health system and economy. While their lives may not be of interest to you, surely you can appreciate the risk of a fragile economy.
Nothing. Better live in the world with some gaps than a completely closed prison. Because that's what you get when you start governing stuff like this with an endless list of strict regulations.
Better accept that things can go wrong sometimes. It isnt the end of the world.
"Binary people" means "women and men".

This tautology doesn’t inform me of anything.
Democracies can be authoritarian: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_democracy. I'm not saying this has happened in Australia but there can be authoritarian democratic measures.

USA attacked seven different countries during the eight years of the Obama administration. He intervened in Syria without the consent of the Senate or of the United Nations. I think we can agree that was an authoritarian measure.

I wish I would be given these.
Focus on things within tech that excite you, tune everything else out. Who cares about Web3 (if it ever happens) until it actually impacts your life.
I agree with some of your points, and yet offer that maybe nothing is "wrong".

When engrossed in the tech world, everything about it seems so important. Money has a way of making it seem that way. But most of it is inconsequential, even if it's minting billionaires and they tell you they're "changing the world". Meh. Go volunteer in a hospice to give your crisis of meaning a real stir.
If you drive 300Km per year, you probably shouldn't own a car.
Nailed it. Shallow dependency trees are much easier to maintain and secure.
It looks to me like most people here are making the same argument, just applying it to different sides of the debate.

There is a lack of data on the long term effects of the disease, as well as the recommended treatment.
I don't think the American public would particularly care – and some would probably even support – that Apple does business with China. If that's the best the carriers can throw at Apple, versus Apple cutting them off from the single device doing the heaviest lifting to keep them relevant, then yikes.
I smell an opportunity for t-mobile to add a “private relay enabled” tier to their pricing structure.

I don’t know if an average of 1500 deaths a day counts as “mass die off” or not, but it kind of feels like it does.
Air resistance starts very low though, until fairly high speeds other factors (e.g. rolling resistance) matter more. Weight is also relevant for climbing hills (more so for ICE which don’t reclaim any energy on the other side), …
Probably twice as long as the battery it replaced (assuming twice the range). You can still stop and recharge every 300 miles if you want to. Ultimately you're gonna spend the same amount of time charging to get the same distance. This just means you could go out 300 miles and back without stopping for a charge at all. The advantage of this though is that you can at least start with 600 miles of range from your home. You'd probably only ever have to charge it overnight, because that's a solid 12 hours of driving. So long as your hotel has a charger you can use, you're basically never stopping to fuel up on a road trip as a single driver.
I don't know how many times I need to repeat this FACT on this site, but socks are NOT immutable. How many holes do you have in your 7 year old socks? I'd wager a LOT. How many mismatched socks do you have in your drawer? I'd wager, AGAIN, a LOT.

The only way to make this truly secure, is to have 2 USB thumb drives, plugged into a different side of the machine (god hope you have a machine with USB ports on both sides). Then, saw the machine in half, right down the middle. I'll find the crypto paper where I read about that.
I'm confident that the Ron Conway / Yuri Milner "Start Fund" idea worked out great financially, although I think one difference is that it was optional while this new deal is mandatory, so there might have been a significant selection effect (positive or negative), e.g. I'm not sure if Coinbase (YC S12) took the deal and that would matter a lot to the returns.
“The Maryland surgeons used a heart from a pig that had undergone gene-editing to remove a sugar in its cells that’s responsible for that hyper-fast organ rejection.”

Probably depends on a number of factors. If you're 4 years old and the next year is 20% of your life and you may never have this level of social and intellectual plasticity again, you may be way better off being free to intermingle with people and learn to live life at the expense of more dead old people.

If you're old and vulnerable, but not near death, a year of reduced social exposure might be better for you.

Sadly the pandemic measures have forced us to sacrifice one for the other. I fear my toddler's development will always be just a little decayed due to masks during her early linguistic development and being shut in the house during shutdowns. But I also acknowledge some old folks may have been saved at her expense.
What would it take to not 'hate every minute'?
I'm only able to relax when I don't think about my need for a constantly beating heart -- pig or otherwise.
This is the only reason I switched to T-Mobile originally and the only reason I still have them. Their coverage is so poor that I get no LTE service sitting in my house in a core part of the major metro area. I'm only able to maintain them because they were an early and ardent adopter of WiFi Calling. On a recent trip in the US I had no service off major interstate highways. Internationally though, T-Mobile is amazing. I honestly wish my experience in the US was as good as my experience while traveling... there's not much point in having uncapped LTE when you get 1 or 0 bars of service, at least internationally I get great service even if it is speed capped at 256kbps.
Off the top of my head, influenza can cause permanent damage to the lungs, kidneys, heart, and brain (sorry, I'm lazy and not providing citations).

I'm not saying this to downplay the effects of Covid/Omicron, but rather to make the point that long-term damage from "mild" infections is not new. What matters is how many people are affected. Omicron will undoubtedly ruin the lives of some people who recover from the initial infection.
You may personally prefer it just as some niche audience still personally prefers to run their own email server, but your grandma will never prefer it or use it and neither will 90% of the public.

Email is an example of this class of failure. Almost everyone uses a centralized provider (mostly Google) and even if you do go through the effort to run your own server since nearly everyone you interact with is using gmail it's mostly pointless anyway.

Signal is not controlled by the USG (see recent doc about what metadata they have access to via Signal). I ran a Matrix server for a while, the UX around setting up encryption is bad (not for lack of trying, it's just a hard problem given the constraints). Most people just use the Matrix.org server and will never run their own (which is the recentralization risk I'm talking about) - at best you'll have a couple providers, and dealing with spam is still a problem. You'll also have a system that adapts slowly because it's harder to make changes to this kind of system, it'll always be worse.

To escape the incentives that lead back to recentralization and to create a federated system that isn't just another niche nerd hobby, you really have to think about the issues that lead back to centralization from first principles. I think Urbit's design and the tradeoffs they make do this.

Have you read the article? It doesn't look like you did.
Sure did, however, does that mean its malicious?

The definition of malicious, according to Merriam Webster[0], is the following

>having or showing a desire to cause harm to someone : given to, marked by, or arising from malice

Was the intention here to cause someone harm? What the intention here malice? Which conversely has this definition[1]

>desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another

Was this their primary motivation? What evidence do we have that is in fact an action driven by malice? In fact, I don't see any, especially after doing roughly 20 minutes of research, I have arrived at the following:

Reading the public history surrounding the maintainer of these projects, the issue trackers of the repositories, and the maintainers own blog, you may come from a different conclusion entirely. If I was to speculate - and mind you, I am speculating, as I don't know the maintainer personally nor do I claim to understand them completely - there is a clear sense of mental strain they are feeling from the burdens here. Being burnt out, feeling taken advantage of, can lead to very real and deep feels of depression and/or other mental challenges (this I speak first hand to), for starters. I think the maintainer - again, speculating here, however evidence does seem to suggest this - is acting from a place of disillusionment, and possibly is resentful of their status in the word, relative to those benefiting from their contributions to open source software. Are they right to feel this way? Maybe, maybe not. However, is this malice? That's the question. Is this actually malicious? All evidence points to no, its not an act of malice. Its an act of someone who is disillusioned, strained, and struggling. I think the most reasonable interpretation given all the evidence is that they are trying to raise some kind of awareness - albeit in ways that I don't think is well communicated, due to the issues I previously highlighted - most likely.

I could be wrong, I'm just following the publicly available evidence and, its a lot more murky than this is an malicious act by a malicious maintainer acting in malice.

And again, this brings up the broader issue around open source maintainability, longevity, the role of consumer and maintainer, and how to build better symbiotic relationships around that, yet we aren't talking about what lead to this event, which I would argue is more important than what happened.

My ask is for nuance in this conversation, where there is seemingly little.

I'm an L6 at Amazon and I'm not sure if millions are possible in 4 years, but the replies are right in that you get close to a million. RSUs, investing back into the socket market etc etc gets you there.
Not really. I live in Ottawa, which is fairly typical as far as Canadian climate goes. A warm year may start pleasantly enough, with serious bike rides possible in mid March and bike paths thawed out by early April. But then you spend July and August mostly inside with the AC on, because it's too hot for heavy exercise outside (except if you start your serious bike ride at 4am and get home by 8am or so) and breathe the very faint smoky haze from forest fires 1000km away to the northwest. A cool summer (if it's not also rainy) is on the whole more enjoyable.

That being said, freakishly warm days in April where the beaches are packed full of sunbathers while there is still ice on the water offshore, or in November 2020 where it was possible to go cycling in shorts and t-shirt for the whole second week of that month, are lovely.
