>The researchers have filed for two patents on the process they used to generate the material, which they describe in a paper appearing today in Nature. MIT postdoc Yuwen Zeng is the lead author of the study.

Anyone think they could find the patent that were filed? Or is it only once they're approved that you can see them?
No districts? Is this a national "party list" system?

Where is that (pardon my inquisitiveness, and feel free not to answer)?

Instinctively it feels wrong not to be able to vote for a representative you can identify; but I can't formulate a coherent reason why it's wrong.
I was thinking about getting started with HA, and then I saw the YAML. Dear God. May just be the ugliest scripting language I've ever seen.
One of the big venture capitalists predicted “prompt engineering” as a future high paid and high status position.

Essentially handling large language models.

Early prompt engineers will probably be drawn from “data science” communities and will be similarly high status, well but not as well paid, and require less mathematical knowledge.

I’m personally expecting an “Alignment Engineer” role monitoring AI systems for unwanted behavior.

This will be structurally similar to current cyber security roles but mostly recruited from Machine Learning communities, and embedded in a broader ML ecosystem.
Smart phones have shown that the free market would not stop this behavior.
That supposes that truth matters. I wish it did.

I've worked in education previously. Apart from being mandated by the gov't, lots of kids have issues so making allowances for them makes sense.

We had to retrofit some of the WCAG functionality into our product. Possible but better to have it as a requirement up front. The thing is, modern browsers are really good about accessibility so you gotta go out of your way to mess it up.

In my opinion it's like having ramps for wheelchairs. Not the first thing that needs to go up, but it should be soon. If you don't design your building with the ramp in mind you usually end up with an ugly design.
based on the plans they are selling, it almost certainly can do both 40 users at 500mbps and 200 users at 100mbps. This is a total guess, but I'd imagine it can probably do 2000 users at 10mpbs, since 10:1 over-subscription is pretty common for ISPs.
This extension also keeps a history of requests.

How complicated are your requests? If I need to test a POST request with a JSON payload longer than a line or two, I'll go and construct my curl command in a text editor anyway, since the shell prompt / readline is not easy to edit. Once you need to start escaping single or double quotes or html payloads in the request, it quickly gets cumbersome. At that point I ditch the shell as a middleman and use the editor to submit the request for me.
washed out is probably a choice made to make adding in cgi easier.
One thing practical effects shots have going for them is that at their worst it still looks like something physically there with the actors.

CGI looks at it's worst like it's painted on top of the scene.
And a second AI to generate additional test cases similar to yours (which you accept as also in scope) to avoid the first AI gaming the test.

I have a shell alias/function variations of which I've used for decades. This is the zsh version:

function fvi { grep -rl $1 . | xargs nvim +/$1 }

It greps a directory recursively and opens files which have a pattern and puts the pattern in the search buffer.
It sounds to me like the author is distracted when it's not in Garamond, and changing the font gets that issue out of their head.
Yeah, network hardware is already a bottleneck most of the time, it’s much more effective to keep encryption out of the critical path there.

Besides, I wonder what the threat model is; you will still want end-to-end encryption on top of it, so why bother with encrypting the traffic below as well?
Thank you! Yes, apps can control the webview through the IWebView interface:

https://developer.vuplex.com/webview/IWebView

In most cases, keyboard input is sent to a webview programmatically:

https://support.vuplex.com/articles/keyboard

So, to disable the keyboard, the app can just omit the Keyboard prefab from the scene and leave the WebViewPrefab.NativeOnScreenKeyboardEnabled option disabled (for mobile):

- https://developer.vuplex.com/webview/Keyboard

- https://developer.vuplex.com/webview/WebViewPrefab#NativeOnS...

If you want to disable clicking and scrolling, you can set the WebViewPrefab's ClickingEnabled and ScrollingEnabled options to false:

Isn't the tradition that something reaches mass market before whatever suppression and disinformation campaigns, paid for by the industry, before there's a strong enough response and therefore reaction by elected officials - who otherwise don't pay attention to such issues? Hopefully it's not harmful/toxic, but we don't seem to have an apparatus that counters the above influence; sugar, cigarettes, asbestos, etc.
Linux GUI apps use DBUS to communicate between each other. (I'm not a fan of it but it's better than nothing)
Correct - put options don't get squeezed, but short call options do.

The thing is, buying ITM put options usually due to delta hedging causes the counter-party (market maker) to sell shares short. If done directly (OTC) and with prior agreement, this 1) lets the parties create short positions owned by market maker, 2) hide these short positions, since market maker has 6 days to settle the trade (deliver the stock), but can fail to deliver and has in total 21 days for delivery.

The only short positions that need to be reported are "those short positions resulting from short sales that have settled or reached settlement date by the close of the reporting settlement date" [1], so as I understand market makers can hold a large non-delivered not settled 'limbo' position and not report it since it's not settled by the reporting date, and just reset the cycle every 6-21 days.

Oh, and short interest is self-reported and not enforced, so any self-clearing market making firm could make 'mistakes', sometimes even for 6 years straight [2], and go away with a small fine.

> I can deploy my work-in-progress apps to a staging machine with a repl server built in. I can let it run in a testing environment indefinitely, and use Emacs to connect to a live REPL that I can use to rummage around in the running app, inspect and edit variables, types, and functions, and generally do anything I would do if it were running in my normal dev environment.

Not the GP. Thanks for the comment, I always find your comments about your experiences with Lisp insightful... But I'm curious, does/can this lead to situations where colleagues are stepping on each others toes in the live environments?
This is fantastic. Thank you for building it, open sourcing it, and sharing it here!
As a big BSG fan, I have to disagree with the last part of your comment. The reboot’s GGI Cylons were much more menacing than the original’s actors clunking around in robot suits. (But it was still awesome to see the occasional old-school Cylon in the reboot. They did a great job calling back to the original show when appropriate.)

Man, I miss BSG. Every sci-fi show featuring androids since then owes it a huge debt. (Raised By Wolves on HBO jumps to mind as a current example.)
I’m not convinced. Before we had computer fonts, we generally wrote with pen/pencil or a typewriter. Again, it’s fun to think about, but I think there’s lots of value in not making the decision at all. I get what you’re saying that iA Writer actually made it for me, but after you use that kind of system for a while, the styling completely disappears. Your brain just accepts that “this is what words look like now” and moves past it.
My answer is tongue-and-cheek. Users will frequently find innovative ways to use open products in unintended ways if there is a value proposition - even if the only value proposition is to troll a random stranger on the internet.

Maybe they work out the matching algorithm to consistently connect with exactly who they want to connect with. Maybe they can get IP addresses or PII or social engineering returns from meeting people.

All that said, that doesn't mean this project isn't valid, fun, cool, innovative, or has potential. Its an impossible expectation to want every side project to have perfect security, authentication, and user-verification/moderation.

I just want to make the point that there's a very high likelihood people will do weird shit with it.
100% agree. Someone (who?) had to take time and write the detailed requirements. In real jobs you rarely get good tickets with well defined expectations; it's one of most important developer's jobs to transform fuzzy requirement into a good ticket.

(Side note: I find that many people skip this step, and go straight from fuzzy-requirement-only-discussed-on-zoom-with-Bob to code; open a pull request without much context or comments; and then a code reviewer is supposed to review it properly without really knowing what problem is actually being solved, and whether the code is solving a proper problem at all).

Cramming a big pile of "settings" into your program because you are unwilling to make choices about how things should work is shirking your job as program author/designer, and passing the work along to your hapless users.

In many cases something that is a "setting" could be better handled some other way. (For one thing, only a trivial proportion of users are ever going to actually examine your setting page.) You should strive to find another solution first, and only add a new setting as a last resort.

This is not to say users shouldn’t be allowed to modify the way things work. Allowing customization of keyboard shortcuts and menu layouts, letting users write or install plugins/extensions, including powerful abstractions that can be combined in unanticipated ways, etc. can all be very helpful.
Ha. It's not you. It's a shit show everything is a afterthought. It's incredibly inconsistent and clunky all over. I just don't try to get carried away with typing stuff too smartly.

Most of this is just the way the language evolved, along JavaScript. I wish they'd abandon the "JavaScript superset idea" and cleaned up the language.

Make the common case simpler and more straightforward, drop everything exotic, it's not practical nor strictly necessary.
Just to clarify this comment is sarcastic right? It gets confusing in text. (genuinely asking)

I mean technically a submarine is just a bunch of steel and one big air bubble.
When I was an engineer on Microsoft Office, users would often request features that the product already had. It was great that their problem was quickly fixed (just point them to the right setting), but it shows the lack of discoverability that happens when the list of settings gets long and you have to dig for them. If you can do the right thing automatically and avoid having a setting, that is an improvement.

My other observation was that everybody said Office had too many features and then asked for two more.
What does it mean to hold media and journalists to standards of integrity? Does it mean that the people who care about such things will no longer consume Vice Media's products? That employees will leave the company? If that's the case, you certainly can't judge who is holding who to what right as this is being made public.

Are we post-integrity?

I would argue when it comes to corporate decision making, making money has always come first ahead of integrity, and it's a little naive to consider this the straw that breaks the camel's back.
It's very handy to get off work, grab a mug of barley coffee, sit on the couch, say "Siri, let's watch Movies" to your watch, and have the TV turn itself on, the audio routed to the AV system, and the Apple TV set as input.

All the above is done by Siri talking to the Apple TV (which is the home hub) and homebridge nudging the TV and inputs via plugins.

And _nearly_ all the above happens solely inside your LAN, except for the speech recognition (which may or may not happen on-device if you have a recent iPhone nearby).
Yes but the decision to redesign something might be towards people who haven't figured it out, which if they are a large enough fraction might be worth the tradeoff.

(there are other reasons too of course, sometimes not really good ones)
Yup that's a really good point.

Nope, no OEM wants to make that, not enough market for it. However you can buy NVMe to 6xSATA adapter, but your case might not fit those drives,

I planned on buying NVMe extension cable, cut a slit in case, run the cable outsidde, plug in NVMe to 6xSATA adapter outside of the case and keep the SSD's outside, this would need reliable external power supply for SSD (Amazon sells them for ~$30, but I don't trust them).

I believe you will get to ~10-15w with this setup, at which rate you could build regular ITX/MATX case to hold all SSD's with i3-10100 and be at ~16w idle.

Advertisers need content to advertise on. The GDPR basically forces content providers to get rid of tracking. That will require Google to provide an ad platform without tracking. And then the fun is over for the advertisers.

Of course with underfunded government privacy enforcement bodies, that process takes a long time. And then there is Ireland.

Yeah? So nobody in the EU is using Google Fonts, AWS, GCP, Azure, CloudFlare, Akamai or any other US provider then, given that this ruling is based on the fact that loading the consent settings screen from the shared domain requires "sharing" an IP address? Nobody in the EU runs an online business reliant on advertising? Of course they are.

I'm convinced pro-GDPR views are always ideological in nature. It's impossible to read GDPR or related case law from the perspective of trying to comply with it and not be disgusted. Every single requirement is vague and subjective - words like "appropriate", "necessary", "reasonable", "proportionate" etc aren't just a part of this law, they are the entire essence of it. And even the occasional term that looks precise often has totally unintuitive definitions, like the way they define large random numbers as "personally identifiable" even though there's no database that links these numbers to any actual personal identity.

Even this announcement about a new ruling is a fog of confusion. Why is asking users for consent, a key piece of GDPR compliance previously, suddenly not OK? Why is this being phrased as "freeing users from consent spam"?

This sort of thing wrecks the EU in the eyes of people actually building things. It makes it seem that this is a part of the world without rule of law of any kind. You can invest hundreds of millions into GDPR compliance and years later discover it was all in vain, without any warning whatsoever. You're being constantly trolled in courts by random academics and "civil liberties" organizations who don't seem to care about actual civil liberties issues like mandatory medical interventions but who define advertising cookies as a grave threat. Dealing with the EU gets ever more painful and if this keeps up, people there are gonna discover they're being denied services or simply charged more as a "GDPR litigation premium". And then they'll be stuck, because the home grown EU software industry is stillborn.

> the purpose is to enhance “suspension of belief” to advance some plot line.

I think that's overly restrictive. There's nothing inherently wrong with flashy CG environments, elaborate action sequences, etc. even if they're largely "for their own sake." When conceived and executed masterfully, I want to see the flashy stuff too! Of course, it's also true that sometimes very rudimentary effects can work great to advance themes or plots (like in the Star Trek series)!
You seem surprised, this is pretty much the rule for ALL CPUs. The 204GB/sec number is simply DDR4-3200 x 64 bits (width of one memory channel) x 8 (number of memory channels = 204,800MB/sec or "roughly" 204GB/sec (assuming GB = 10^9 not 2^30). This is called "peak" bandwidth, as is a never to exceed number.

60-80% of peak is common with tuned code, and less without. Sure GPUs, which are all about bandwidth do better. Much of a GPU design is about throughput and hiding latency with multiple requests/threads/whatever. CPUs have different design goals and worry much more about latency and often have to worry about NUMA/memory coherency. Not to mention in the general case often you have one cache miss per core, which isn't necessarily enough to saturate the memory bus.

Try apple M1, other ARMs, Alpha, PA-risc, Sparc, Intel, etc and you'll find the same story.

I took OPs statement at face value:

> If each side really knew the true strength of the other side, it would be clear which would win and therefore actual war is illogical and unnecessary.

No, knowing the true strength is insufficient. I laid out other kinds of pieces of information that also influence the war being logical and necessary as well as the war being illogical and unnecessary and still happening.

Now, you could strengthen the argument and say "what OP meant was that if we had all the information needed to build a model to accurately predict the exact outcome to a high degree of confidence". To me that's the same as the "god of the gaps" argument though because at the most reduced state you end up with the classical position of "well, if I had the state of every particle in the universe I could predict what would happen". The simulation aspect is physically impossible as far as we know according to [1] because the amount of compute needed would be the universe itself. So now you have to start building a model that trades off error and complexity so that you could actually make a decision before the heat death of the universe.

I would like to challenge that assertion that Pis are garbage. If you use a recent hardware revision you should not have any issues, mine have outlasted the ODROID I had running homebridge for a few years off an EMMC.

Also, I git push my automation services to a server using https://github.com/piku, which isolates them in (simple) sandboxes. Zero issues for a long time now, and with Docker pull restrictions coming up soon, I can certainly put up with npm taking a while to update Node-RED...
It feels like Hollywood has had a practical effects craze for a while in the past fifteen years thanks to The Dark Knight. Or maybe it's just been Christopher Nolan (and some Villeneuve) keeping that flame alive. There certainly has been no shortage of public gushing over Nolan's use of practical effects, even if some of his films didn't really live up to the hype.
> I think a big mistake we in the west make when thinking about 'solutions' to the conflict is assuming both sides want peace. That's not been my impression on hearing anyone from either side talk

Israel has everything to gain by a true peace deal with Palestine. Palestinians though have everything to lose - their entire identity is intertwined with returning to their old homes from 1948.
I don't think there is symmetry; one side basically "won" and would really like to live in peace if it was possible (barring a few religious Jewish settlers), but the meaning of peace for the other side is basically letting go of its identity and admit defeat.

Palestinians can't let go of what happened in 48, it's as foundational for them as Zionism is for Israelis. A lot of people miss this subtle point but if you really listen to Palestinians it's all there.

While if you really listen to (most) Israelis - its mostly about security. Most Israelis don't give much of a hoot about the settlements.

One of the things I have loved about Heroku is that once you have an account and have the CLI installed, you can create and deploy apps entirely through the CLI. You don't ever have to visit the Heroku dashboard during the initial deployment process.

Is this possible at all on Render? I haven't gone through the process on Render yet, but it looks like it requires a visit to the site at some point for each project that you want to deploy.
