There are some devices that are charged with aux cables, although it is rare. I think that is a bad solution because they almost always cause a short circuit when connecting/disconnecting. Usually that is neglected for audio signals because the power is quite low and devices have respective protections, but if you would use it for charging...

IMO there is zero point to running a non-managed K8s cluster anymore unless you are at enterprise/fang scale and have a full team of CKAs to babysit it. Pay AWS or GCP the small fee for their managed services and worry about the kube API and the things that make your company money.
I don't have cable, but if you have your opinion you should be the one considering different sources of information.

Just the fact that three years, at least, were devoted to the non existent Russia collusion story, and almost nothing else, should be enough to change the channel.
I'm not sure what other meaning of "affirmative action" there is.

Those studies claim that 27% and 24% of the surveyed population, respectively, favors affirmative action. I guess that falls short of "broad popular support" as I was saying, but it it's also far from what I think of as "far left", both because if the correlation with leftism were perfect, that's still the top quartile of the population, and because there's more to leftism than affirmative action, so the correlation isn't perfect. Other polls come up with numbers like 62% https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/565628-62-... and 45% (8 years ago) https://www.nas.org/blogs/article/poll_public_support_for_af....

I think a big part of what's going on here is that people don't think deeply so they can be easily influenced by how questions are phrased.

I agree that minority groups aren't the ones promoting affirmative action, but rather US elites, who are overwhelmingly white. I don't think it's a particularly liberal policy, though it's not something liberalism has defined itself by opposition to, and Millian consequentialist liberalism is a common framework for justifying it; but a lot of the constituency for affirmative action is illiberal "progressives".
Exactly that!

Many developers don't understand any basics.
We're 20 years since HTML4 and still many developers are using `<a />` instead `<button />`...

It's of course only one from many examples.

A lot of people (devs, designers, pms etc.) don't understand... nothing.
They don't understand that someone may have poorer eyesight, that many people have slow Internet speed etc.

I'm getting tired of using the Internet, practically to every site I have some criticisms (forcing to open links in a new tab...).
The article doesn't really provide any details, how much of an effect would be nice to know, and it's non-clinical research, but what happens if this research turns out to be correct and ivermectin turns out to be a clinically significant intervention?

Beyond some awkward silence I can't imagine it will change much. The side effects of ivermectin don't sound particularly nice [0]:
- anaemia
- coma
- confusion
- conjunctival haemorrhage
- difficulty standing
- difficulty walking
- encephalopathy
- faecal incontinence

although if it was you're only chance of survival the side effects might not matter, but with the new COVID drugs that, at least in developed countries, is no longer the case.

Is there are any issues with mass use of ivermectin, something akin to antibiotic resistance?

In the French countryside where my father is coming from, every house had an external bell for the diner/lunch whatever important call. You quickly learnt to recognize the different tones and ways to ring the bell.

I really wouldn't assume too much about his situation.

My girlfriend has autism and when I want her attention I need to ask for it like 5 times over a space of 20 seconds, if I don't ask multiple times she will literally forget I even asked in the first place. Sometimes it literally takes a minute. This isn't because she doesn't care about me, it's just how her brain works.

Maybe this is just a better form of communication for him while he's focused on work. Please don't assume ill-intent, it just seems unnecessarily rude.

At least wrt Moderna (and I think Biontech as well), isn’t the issue also that part of the production process are not patented, but trade-secrets and thus simply not available?

Do you really think that the NSA would be bound by sanctions? They’ll ping the Israeli government and ask for access if they need it and they won’t be turned down it would be just a matter of price.

The NSO isn’t a state run outfit outright but it has been used by Israel to score foreign relationship wins just like any other export and specifically arms export are used by other governments.

NSO is literarily the bargain bin option when it comes to SIGINT/COMINT, and for most of their clients they are pretty much the only option to get a high end targeted capability to compromise mobile devices.
Is it not still that way? There may be a bias towards believing trusted institutions, but that's because they have reputations for delivering truth based on experiments.
> I'm of the mind that if you want a static site generator, then... you should just build one yourself!

If you have any specific needs that you'd rather not compromise on then I agree completely, and do in fact have a plan to make my own. I expect it'll be quicker than trying to panel beat somebody else's into submission.

There is no middle ground - all the existing ones are either simple and/or strongly opinionated (great if you are happy with the fixed style and features) or so flexible and complex that it'll take to many plugins and hours poking it and it's documentation that you are practically programming the whole site anyway.

> Something completely tailored to you can be built in about the same time

And if you have any complex ideas you can develop it piecemeal instead of needing to think about everything in detail from the start to make sure the framework truly supports what you want (without you having to write a custom plugin) and you aren't starting in a way that'll make features difficult to add in later.

I don't really think that what I'm doing is making a static site generator, certainly not a generic one. I'm creating a dynamic but slowly changing site with a very strong caching layer.

> with whatever static generator that's popular right now

A key advantage of using an existing SSG is that you essentially get free upgrades from time-to-time, useful if the new features/options are actually useful or otherwise desirable to you. But that only works if the one you pick is one that survives the churn long term.

"Right now" is also key though. I might use one of the simple opinionated SSGs first with a view to getting some stuff out quickly and convert over later. Or I may just make a fully dynamic setup and convert to static if there is any chance the content is popular enough that the resource saving & response time benefits matter at all.

If you want say less draws or no advantage for White or less memorization, the easiest solution to me seems to be to just have engines evaluate a few trillion random positions and then filter out those with 0 advantage and low chance of draws in explored lines and then use those as the starting positions.
That makes sense in New York but we knew more about the situation when she was in LA and when the USNS Comfort was in New York later on. (Also I put USS Mercy when it should be USNS Mercy)

"Another of the Navy’s two hospital ships, the USNS Comfort, was sent to New York City to treat non-coronavirus patients. However, after treating only a few dozen patients, the Comfort changed its rules to allow coronavirus-positive patients on the ship.

The Comfort had been docked in New York Harbor in Manhattan since March 30 but departed last month for its Norfolk, Va., home port after treating just 182 patients."

There are multiple problems "kernel bypasses" solves.

Generally speaking:

(A) prevent kernel from touching data and only operate on metadata (to reduce cache misses/memory bandwidth)

(B) in routing situations prevent application from copying data

(C) busy-polling - save cpu on doing everything in application as opposed to jumping to/from kernel context, for better latency

(D) allow manual buffer management

For example, splice or tcp_mmap() can be used to "receive" data from networking stack into application managed place. splice and MSG_ZEROCOPY can be used to "transmit" data into networking stack. The problem with MSG_ZEROCOPY is that, while buffers belong to application, the API doesn't tell you when it's done sending and it's possible to repurpose the buffers.

This io_uring article seem to indicate this fault has been fixed in io_uring zerocopy API.

These API's are pretty much (A), prevent kernel from touching data, and only look at metadata.

Due to API limitations it's hard or even impossible to do (B) in application. But with better API's we'll get there.

To get (C), you need raw hardware access basically.

But the holly grail is (D): the buffer-reuse problem. Ideally you'd want to submit buffer to networking card (or network stack), get data from NIC directly into there, then get a handle to this data in application, perform routing decision, submit that buffer for transmission in some other NIC, and eventually get a completion notification. At which point the buffer could be submitted for RX again. The userspace zerocopy API's are far away from this ideal scenario.

So no. Zerocopy kernel API's don't immediately solve all problems typical kernel bypass solution aims for. Having staid that, I don't think many users have the problems true kernel bypass solves.
Using AI to create work schedules significantly reduces physician burnout
Any reasonably complex piece of software will have vulnerabilities. In other words, vulnerabilities are not a variable for the security equation, they are a constant. When designing something, vulnerabilities will exist. Generally, vulnerabilities, on their own, are not a great indication of how security is prioritized internally in any company.
What you’re experiencing isn’t the result of bad engineers, it’s the result of business decisions that prioritize new features of testing. There are many talented engineers in Microsoft (as well as some terrible ones) but they don’t have full control over the goals of the business.

> However, modern HTML is largely based on XML format, which means there is a better, more powerful way to find the exact elements one needs: XPath. XPath is an entire language created for traversing XML (and by extension HTML) element trees.

Nope. Both HTML and XML are based on SGML. You can use XPath to traverse/query a DOM, though. While more powerful still, it's not clear XPath is better than CSS selectors for scraping and/or Selenium-like testing when CSS is already ubiquitous in web development.

> I meant that if I want to chat to someone or about something 99% of the time discord is the place where that happens because that person uses discord or a discord server exists for that topic.

But that's a completely different thing than what you originally said ("Pretty much everyone uses Discord now.").

I is the operative part here. Personally I've never used discord, and I don't know anybody IRL that has to the point that they have asked me to join and if they did I would probably refuse. I have enough comms channels as it is.

It is important to realize that when you speak in generalized terms you are usually just speaking for yourself, so better to phrase things that way.
Unless I missed it, I don’t see any data that supports it. He’s writing about investments in tech for web3. I don’t see anything about consumer adoption of XR headsets.

As for “iDweebs”, they look fashionable and have been deemed socially acceptable by fashion house Apple. They’re also not some giant, novel monstrosity that covers your face and head; AirPods are new yet familiar. They’re just a hybrid of earrings and headphones.

From my personal experience, the pushback against VR is both subtle and strong and it’s not limited to cost or tech complexity (setup). I mean how do multiple people with no ties to each other in different geographical areas reject free revolutionary hardware?

In the wild, I’ve also repeatedly seen claims that VR sucks made by people who’ve never tried modern VR, to the point where they start fabricating their experience. It’s a strange phenomena. It would be nice to see a more formal study on this. I’m guess that form factor matters, and that mass adoption won’t happen until the headset transitions into a glasses form factor.

This is yet another generalization that doesn't hold true for the vast majority of the couples that I am aware of.

Your bubble is unique to you, even if it seems like that's the whole world because you haven't seen much outside of your bubble (almost by definition) that does not mean that you are going to be able to generalize outside of your bubble from data collected inside of it except for the most obvious of cases.

It doesn't matter, if there is a time increment, there are still rarely any draws. Maybe 1 in 15 or 20 games. Of course, I'm at the very bottom of that 1%, maybe things are somewhat different higher up.

And seriously speaking, the more time given, the higher the probability of a draw: games are usually won or lost because of blunders. If you have time to evaluate all moves and play very patiently, and your opponent does the same, draw is the likely result. But playing this way is boring.
I’d like to see a citation for that claim.
They couldn't enable viewing of truly crazy files without shipping the rest of the elephant with it.

iPhones still can send and receive an SMS, it’s also not particularly difficult to send an crafted iMessage, a lot of these exploits also chain multiple exploits so an RCE in a 3rd party messaging app with a sandbox/privesc on the local device.

And even without that if you get an RCE within the context of a messaging app you might be able to get most of what you need since you probably would be able to read / write arbitrary memory within the context of that process and interact with which ever APIs the app has permissions for which for messaging almost always includes microphone and camera and often location too.

The only thing you don’t get from running an exploit within the context of a single app is usually persistence but if your exploit can survive the app being suspended then as most people rarely reboot their phones you can get pretty long lived sessions too.

I spent 6 years in a top 3rd unvieristy in US, working on Nanotech. My resepect for research is not same after that. I felt everybody runs after Science/Nature papers and funding.. I haven't found honest curiousity to discover new things. The funding organizations are also to be partially blamed, instead of funding a good idea / projects, they started influencing and interfering in the research for their interest.
And this is why I hate this whole mobile app thing. Sure show me the data, but for any actual transfer action I much prefer having to use the old fashioned one-time password list. At least then they need multiple things and it is not remote.

Results that haven't been independently replicated are suspect. There are just too many factors that can lead an experiment to give some results that are not transferrable or not relevant.

The worst aspect of this is the lack of will or funding to replicate, replicate, and replicate again all significant results that get published. Post-processed data can be altered, but a TB of raw data is meaningless as well if it hasn't been produced properly, has been obfuscated, or is weirdly formatted.

Data availability is a red herring for the vast majority of the science being made right now (almost everything that does not depend on a multi-millions dollars experiment). If data availability is an end in itself, we would just have moved the goalposts and have a data quality problem instead of a reproducibility problem.
I think poor coupled with stability allows this.

No it’s not I don’t think you realize the skill gap.

There is no SQLmap for iPhones and a “Metasploit” for iPhones costs 10’s of millions and requires you to be able to negotiation contracts on a state level…

The amount of money and skill that is require to identify these vulnerabilities and develop them into functional exploits is pretty insane.

It goes well beyond what even basic RCE due to say unsafe deserialization in Java requires.

Anyone without any knowledge in programming could probably learn how to identify and exploit a SQL injection even without automated tools within days if not hours.

On the other hand even experienced developers look at something like FORCEDENTRY and can barely comprehend it.
Argh.

Scientists are used to some level of unavoidable noise from experiments done on the natural world because the natural world is not fully controllable. Thus they are expected to work hard to minimize the uncertainty in their measurements, then characterize what's left and take that into account in their calculations.

They are not expected to make beginner level mistakes when solving simple mathematical equations. Avoidable errors introduced by doing their maths wrong is fundamentally different to unavoidable measurement uncertainty. The whole point of doing simulations in silico is to avoid the problems of the natural world and give you a fully controllable and precisely measurable environment, in which you can re-run the simulation whilst altering only a single variable. That's the justification for creating these sorts of models in the first place!

Perhaps you think the errors were small. The errors in their model due to their bugs were of the same order of magnitude as the predictions themselves. They knew this but presented the outputs to the government as "science" anyway, then systematically attacked the character and motives of anyone who pointed out they were making mistakes. Every single member of that team should have been fired years ago, yet instead what happened is the attitude you're displaying here: a widespread argument that scientists shouldn't be or can't be held to the quality standards we expect of a $10 video game.

How can anyone trust the output of "science" when this attitude is so widespread? We wouldn't accept this kind of argument from people in any other field.
