Yep, that's what I mentioned too. Although too be strict, the word you have to guess to minimize the number of tries is the one that minimizes the worst case scenario. And, if a computer is doing this, it is achieved by considering all possible solutions, then try each reasonable guess for each possible solution to determine which guess would lead to the least number of try.

Now, a human cannot consider all possible solutions (especially in the first 2 guesses), so human strategy will be different from computer strategy. As we agreed, it is to guess the least likely word. And this canned guesses turns out to do just that as well. Here I assume some flexibility when using the canned list, that is, (1) the order is flexible, and (2) if you've found some confirmed letters already, you decide which of the canned word list would be most useful next.

For example, for me I use my canned guesses for the first two guesses, and decide the third based on the first two. If I still need to get more letters, I go through my list. If I think I got enough to start going towards the solution, then I do that. It is still an interesting game since there are still decisions to be made.

(Also, I think hard mode is not even solved yet by a computer, it might be possible that there is no strategy where all possible solutions can be guessed in 6 tries. This increased risk might be something that people find interesting too, so that's one of the appeal of hard mode).

(Also, as I said, this is not a critic about hard mode not being interesting. It is interesting. My point is to simply defend easy mode from the claims that it is not interesting [from what "hard mode is far more interesting" seems to suggest], and nothing personal. I appreciate hard mode too for its interestingness, and the people who like it better over easy mode. I'm not against people claiming that hard mode is more interesting than easy mode)

(Oh, I just realized you are the one posting on the canned guess list. I'm also using canned guess list. My list is AISLE, PHONY, TRUCK, and the fourth guess onwards I usually try to guess based on the clues so far)
The leaves are great, as long as you harvest them while they are green. I'm not sure what the cultivar is as I usually let them go to seed, collect the seeds and start over when they get too tall. Brassicas tend to cross pollinate, as far as I understand it. They get super tall, but I usually stop after 5 ft. and start over.
Wow, I remember first hearing about EdgeDB years ago, insane to see the progress that has been made! I noticed that there's also builtin GraphQL support; can this do the majority of things the query language can, or would there be particular road blocks trying to use it in that manner?

My experience in SEA in general and Bali specifically (as a Malaysian), prices are not simply a matter of speaking the language. Vendors often charge based literally on your social class/status.
I think it's okay not to get near 1:1 parity given the amount of unchecked type-casts (foo as unknown as X) and ts-ignores that happen anyway in most code bases. The other advantage is that the typechecker is advisory, meaning the code will run (and might explode) but it will run even if the types are wrong since compiling typescript is mostly just throwing away the type info.
Creating another group every time and asking the sysadmin to add you to the group when you want a new permission is not an appropriate solution for the desktop. It also isn't fine grained (what if you want to only grant permission to one audio device, then you'll need to create lots of audio groups and keep track of them all) and doesn't handle the case where you want to temporarily grant privileges to some device for just one session. There is more to it than just the issue with ssh, and it's not superfluous. There is a very good reason desktops all use it.
They're still doing exceedingly well, so it must not have hurt them. I think it takes a small but stable company to pull it off. Maybe they have stopped doing it by now, I don't know.

These people cared about their work a lot, and they enjoyed doing it. Not sure which way the causation goes though...

Edit to add: the rotating managers I'm referring to were doing budgets and performance reviews, not creating business strategies.
Exception that proves the rule: I use Google Fi (formerly Project Fi) as my mobile provider. While they haven't exactly added resources to it, it serves me remarkably well as a cellular provider. And I use an iPhone!
How do you know a timestamped vouch is no more valid? Isn't that the point of revocation?
/mu/ used to be a lot more interesting, but yeah. Nowadays it's mostly an Anthony Fantano discussion board, but I remember talking up some really interesting artists on there a few years ago. People would trade Death Grips demos for Monkees stems, and a number of relatively large artists used to frequent the board too. My fondest memories were chatting up Iglooghost who'd visit every so often, posting links to demos that sounded like keygen music from another planet. Dude didn't even need a tripcode: everyone knew his stuff when it came around.

It was really good value too. But I had to stop using it because some critical apps I need stopped supporting the smaller screen size and would be disfunctional.
What I meant is that the word "complicated" is vague.
Even if you a using a language with dynamic type, it just hides the unavoidable complexity behind. All the problems with types will resurface at the run time. The language by itself allows very complex interactions with types, just that the user not specifying it. For me I would add the behaviour of the language as part of the language complexity, not the written part only.
GP seems to be complaining about random ROMs while ignoring the biggest one.

I used to ROM-hop a lot, but nowadays, I just stay on whatever the official LineageOS build is (for my OnePlus Nord, that’s still Android 10, but I tried stock and couldn’t handle it) and install my weekly updates.

IMO performance is usually better the more random the ROM (so xXx NoLimits > LineageOS > Vendor OS), stability can be very hit or miss with the random ones but is equal for LineageOS and vendor.

Despite Magisk Hide not getting developed anymore, at least on 10 I can pass safety check despite being rooted btw.
> Introspecting, I would say the above decision is true for me.

An alternate perspective (not contrary, just different)…

My uncle and late aunt were linguists in Central and South America. They were funded modestly with American funds.

When abroad, they did not have a car, but they did have a housekeeper (cooking and cleaning) and one or two nannies (two when their 3rd kid was young). They got around by scooter, or taxis if necessary.

When they came to the US to raise funds, my aunt always complained about how hard it was to manage everything even though they were frequently given loaner cars and a lot of free food. Apparently the extra labor around the house made a huge difference for household management, and apparently that house help was worth way more than a car for them.

When I lived abroad in a lower CoL country, I rarely cooked just because I could eat out very cheaply and relatively healthily.

"Most journals already allow authors to distribute copies by request." Does anyone know how this works in practice ? I'd like to ask a few of my favorite researchers for a copy of their papers but I am a hobbyist and don't want to take their time and add to their likely overflowing inbox.

BTW, "this is nuts" isn't a claim you can make if you don't know the answer to questions you posted.

From their website: "an article is submitted and is assessed by our editors. If suitable it will be put through Peer Review". That peer review process could quickly exceed the $11.4k for example.

[edited] added the BTW paragraphs after responses were received to the question in my first paragraph.

Find their email address, write them, and ask. They're more likely than most people realize to respond.
It’s disgusting... but, the value proposition is there.

As an inspiring researcher, it’s 100% worth it to spend the $11k. It’ll increase citations making it open and further peoples careers. This is a “pay to play” scheme.
Or it could be because those libraries actually do something and users want them? I really don't get these complaints. Is the C library an "invasive weed" because C programs require an ABI compatible C library to run?
As long as we treat humans well while they're alive (and why wouldn't you, you want high quality low stress organs) then there's really no limit here, morally.
Wouldn’t you need to kill the animal in the prime of its life, causing a moral issue?
Cool and I mentioned USA where I’m from. Idk if that’s not enough for you to piece together what I’m trying to say.
Oh that's not very nice. Why is the new internet insult the be dehumanizing someone by comparing them to GPT-3? I guess it's a way to go, "I'm not gonna address your point, I'm just gonna attack you, and then pretend well your points can't make sense because it was clearly written by an AI." Is that the best you can do?

I guess maybe you don't know that Dutton actually called Keating that.

But I also get your point, I am saying a lot of stuff there, and then replying to it. But that's what it is for me. When you say that stuff, that's what I'm thinking. I mean, is that really any different to you...? When I said this, you thought "Prime minister of China", and "made that up" and said it. I mean, so what's the difference?

Conversation is all about "making up" things to say, right? Or maybe it's like pretending my "making up" is not as good as your "making up" as another way to look down on me? Pretending what I said is somehow less valid, than what you said? It's just not very nice. I mean...why would you need to believe that? I mean, we can just have different views..and say different things...you don't have to sort of dehumanize me and look down on me or what I'm saying, right? Like, anyone who disagrees with you, or doesn't think the same as you, deserves that? Or is bad? I mean, why can't you just make another point, rather than trying to attack someone.

Like...why? What is there for you about that, I wonder. And why do these type of comments, these type of attacking comments, always come from anonymous accounts. Like people just want cover...to be abusive like that...really? sigh
Pay once is a thing of the past. As with most software recently switched to subscription model, they should have offered it at $999 per article per year, no contracts required.
That's what they've done here, this are GMO pigs designed to be more compatible with human biology.

> The heart transplanted into Mr. Bennett came from a genetically altered pig provided by Revivicor, a regenerative medicine company based in Blacksburg, Va.

> The pig had 10 genetic modifications. Four genes were knocked out, or inactivated, including one that encodes a molecule that causes an aggressive human rejection response.

> A growth gene was also inactivated to prevent the pig’s heart from continuing to grow after it was implanted, said Dr. Mohiuddin,who, with Dr. Griffith, did much of the research leading up to the transplant.

> In addition, six human genes were inserted into the genome of the donor pig — modifications designed to make the porcine organs more tolerable to the human immune system.

> Doctors judge, at least in their own mind and that influences survival decisions.

That isn't intentional or desirable though. It's a flaw. Doctors are people and people are imperfect.
Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try.
I'd say, with a very exaggerated tone :), it would be like saying you can still find trees in New York, so really nothing has changed since settlers came.
> I like my home a lot, but the cost is not much less expensive than rent after all the other associated expenses.

The cost is the same, but benefits include not just living space, but also equity. You can't sell a rental.
Everything is fine except the CPU, which is not really enough for developing.
I understand the family though. The unfairness is heavy.
That doesn’t match real world outcomes though. Quantity demanded goes down. Wages go down.

Mostly because automation isn’t making that person more valuable, it’s just removing it from that persons role. Skilled labor becomes unskilled labor. Supply goes way up. Clerks are a great example.

They used to do a lot for a store and had to know all the products. Now a clerk is just a last mile button presser. They don’t add much value at all. They’re not doing 4x the work. They’re doing 0.1x the work. Trying to say “but the value couldn’t be captured without that guy” is wishful thinking.
OP owns a CNC shop which is almost tautologically capital
Sorry. This is just flat out wrong.
In TFA that's actually what they describe - the pig was genetically engineered to reduce rejection and to control the growth of the heart to stay human-sized.
Agree with the others - find the email address and ask. Especially if the lead author is a student / post doc, they are usually very excited to help. Profs often have an overflowing inbox and might be more hit or miss.
Leave that company immediately and find something that gives you room to breathe.
The big or small language problem have been debated quite a long time, for what I know especially in the scheme community. There are a lot of insightful discussions about R6RS, which you may find interesting.
This. All these arguments over ethics miss the point. Doctors shouldn't be placed in the position of making morale decisions. Their job is to render care and given the grave consequences of malpractice, we should always expect them to do so to their fullest abilities. FULL STOP.

Let the legal profession handle how to deal with criminals. Punishment and medical care have no place existing together.

I agree. To me it seems as though a small handful of corporations owns a large percentage of multi-tenant housing and an increasing percentage of single tenant houses and is able to set prices algorithmically and that other landlords price similarly.
The 6S (and the SE, which also uses the A9) is still receiving all the latest OS updates, not just security updates, in 2022.

I for one won't "upgrade" to a bigger phone with no fingerprint sensor and no headphone jack. I don't agree with many things Apple does, but their iPhone support is pretty damn good.
I get that but also consider that people are free to publish in other journals.

Although it does make me uncomfortable that its a for-profit company, they only print 7-10 articles a month, so I can understand the financials mathematics of needing to make it this amount per article if they want to continue to have a full staff maintain the journal the way they want to run it. I am just grateful these articles are now open to the public for free.

They’re allowed to disagree, as long as they still follow them.
You also get paid to be the scapegoat for when your manager fails to do his job, like in this story.
According to some sources online, the average salary for a junior developer in Italy is around 24k[0]. Indeed that isn't a lot, however it's not that much below the average salary in most regions [1]. Furthermore, in a per type of job, IT and tech are the highest paid bar "management" and "top management"[2].

What happens to somebody who doesn't have a computer whose phone dies spontaneously like this? I assume that an iPhone user would be able to show up at a store and buy a new phone/replacement, but if you're a Google user and you don't have a good way to 2FA to log into your email... what do you do?
>If in 1980 you were able to replace 4 clerks handwriting transactions in an accounting ledger with one clerk typing them into a spreadsheet but pay that one clerk marginally more than a handwriting clerk, who benefits most in that equation?

In a market economy competition will squeeze down those newfound profits. The owner of the company benefits, the employee benefits, and all the customers benefit.
Depends on what you mean by poor. Are you talking about the bottom 25% bottom 1%, or bottom 0.1%.

Homelessness is bottom 0.1%
Making Linux better support mobile would be a better use of resources.
My experience has been that the kind of people that want longer prison sentences for folks like this are more than willing to tolerate higher taxes to pay for them.
If you're not a vegan and you're against this you're letting your squeamishness override your ethics. If an animal is worth killing for the convenience and taste of a meal, it's worth killing to save a human being with a transplant.

Your objection sounds like squeamishness, and in that case I'd avoid looking at medical procedures in general.
One of the reasons why red is used internationally for stop lights is because it has the least scattering in the air, which means that it can be seen from further away.
As a hobbyist, I just email the author, thank them for their work, maybe ask a question about or comment on their work and ask if they have the specific paper I can't get. Nobody's ever said no and I've asked dozens if times in CS, linguistics and for some climate and geography stuff. Academics are pretty accessible and even willing to chat about their work as long as you're not a crank.

PwnKit: Vulnerability in Polkit (CVE-2021-4034)
Ask HN: Does this mean Docker is not open-source software?
https://www.docker.com/blog/the-grace-period-for-the-docker-subscription-service-agreement-ends-soon-heres-what-you-need-to-know/

I heard that OSS does not discriminate against particular use cases. If Docker soon requires a paid subscription for companies of a certain size, doesn't discriminate against a use case...or user (?)...so would that make it not free or OSS?
Do yourself a favor and let Android 12 settle down for a bit before you upgrade. I've heard nothing but bugs, bugs, and more bugs. Though I guess we can assume that they won't pump out a LineageOS release if they find a bunch of bugs, since unlike Google the LineageOS devs actually have pride in the software they produce.
I like them now. I'm using some $300 Nokia and its nice. Big clear screen, surfs the web just fine. Can make calls and texts. That's all I use my phone for.
Local privilege escalation vulnerability in polkit’s pkexec (CVE-2021-4034)
Logistically, I find it very hard to believe that Apple is working on their own console. There have obviously been Apple AR/VR rumors going around for a while, but everything I've heard so far doesn't add up:

- Making this kind of play (especially at high-resolution) requires an insane amount of GPU power that just doesn't really exist. On a good day the M1 can bench against a desktop 1050, which doesn't even meet the minimum recommended requirements for low-res PC VR. Quality, modern gaming is straight-up out of the question at that performance profile.

- TSMC is maxxed out right now, entering a new product segment might threaten to cannibalize their Mac or iPhone supply chain.

- Apple doesn't have a graphics API that anyone cares about. Sure, they could use MoltenVK to attempt some ridiculous PCVR compatibility layer, but it's just outright not feasible. This machine is going to need all the overhead it can get, translation layers would murder it's performance in cold blood.
> Today, America's poor have a better quality of life than medieval kings.

Humans are social animals, and kings are at the absolute top of the social hierarchy. They had immense power. Poor people have very little power in comparison. This has an immense effect on their experience in the world.

Most poor people in the US face a variety of real hardships. Your comment seems quite tone deaf to this reality.

If the deciding factor for publication becomes money rather than quality, I wonder how long Nature's prestige will endure?
This is the opposite of true. The evidence that building more housing decreases prices is overwhelming: https://www.lewis.ucla.edu/research/market-rate-development-...

> To be clear, this debate is not about whether new housing can reduce housing prices overall. At this point, that idea isn’t really in doubt. There’s good reason to believe that in regions with high housing demand, building more housing can help keep the prices of existing housing down. In their Supply Skepticism paper from 2018, Vicki Been, Ingrid Gould Ellen, and Katherine O’Regan offer an excellent introduction to the broader question of how market-rate development affects affordability. Citing numerous individual studies and reviews of dozens more, they conclude that “the preponderance of the evidence shows that restricting supply increases housing prices and that adding supply would help to make housing more affordable.”

Because of course it does. Demand doesn't exist in a vacuum, it's a number judged against supply.

If you want to see the real world impact, look at rents where the rules make it easy to build housing. For a city of its size and national importance, Tokyo has dirt cheap rent compared to the states: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...
