Glad to hear you didn't actually do that. Returning digitally is still returning.
I picked up Satisfactory a week ago and have been playing online with brother and one other friend... it definitely sucks up time.

It's a lot of fun. I'm not much for optimizing every little detail of production, but its a lot of fun to build and work out supply chains.
I can see you are angry and don't like JS. Perhaps you might be less angry if you look at the project and see that it is not an SPA architecture nor does it require or encourage client-side coding in general?

Maybe instead of shaking your fist, you might just celebrate the fact that we live in amazing times where even JS programmers can enjoy the LiveView programming paradigm! :)
I didn't find it, you did!
web3.0 is going to suck just like web 2.0 sucked.
a pure functional language is trivially differentiated, no? View a program as a data flow graph and then append the differentiation data flow graph. How this is executed (reverse-mode vs forward-mode vs some exotic mix) is just a leaked abstraction. Ideally, it wouldn't need to be exposed to the user.

In the sense that a person with cancer could be sued for eating unlicensed cocktail onions?
Pegasus (like all products in that space) is an on-prem product, NSO send you the system limited to a number of usages and certain phone number restrictions and then you use it.

To counter: do you really think every country purchasing Pegasus would want the Israeli government and NSO to be able to access all that information on their targets?
The most lenient late policy I've experienced in my (ongoing) university experience has been that you can submit 1 day late for a 30% penalty. Most of my classes lock the dropbox immediately at midnight.

Simply returning work shortly after the late work window closes should suffice, no?

How do you compare to Cellino?

Cellino is looking to automate the process we use to create human cells, most specifically, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). IPSCs are made from other cell types, like blood cells, then transformed back into stem cells, which can eventually differentiate into many different cell types.
Hi! How long are you paying that? Is it for life?

While LEDs are designed to emit light and can thus
unnoticeably encode information through high-frequency flickering,
their ability to also perceive light is largely unknown in the
security community. In particular, by directing a laser on the LEDs
of office devices, we induce a measurable current in the hardware that can be picked up by its firmware and used to receive incoming
data.

They are firing a laser at an LED under the following assumptions.

1. They already have arbitrary code execution on the device but want to open a bidirectional communication channel. 2. It is possible to reprogram the GPIO port to function as an input (not always possible, since ports may be output only). 3. They can induce a large enough current through firing a laser at the LED to exceed the GPIO threshold voltage for said port. 4. They have a suitable line of sight to the LED, ie. it is both facing them and not recessed, and there is no oblique or low-opacity window between them and the air-gapped asset. 5. They can get close enough to launch the attack.
I don’t think it’s overly specific. New grads out of college are a mostly unknown value that is measured using proxies like GPA and pedigree. After 2 years of employment you’ve shown what value you can bring or have been removed from the employer.
huh, that's actually interesting and horrifying I guess, I knew the third argument of map was the original array but I had never seen a usage of it - I guess mutating an array while working on it goes against instinct for just about everyone.

so I guess I was wrong, you can get the same functionality of break in map, albeit in a way that, right at this moment, makes me uneasy.
Even if it were so (no acute effect, seems unlikely based on, err, anecdata), I've seen claims of it taking up to a year or more to fix a deficiency. It's nt just a nice idea, it actually works. And blood pressure medicine, often diuretics, only worsens magnesium deficiency and thus a magnesium deficiency treated symptomatically with such medicine becomes a chronic hypertensive condition.
Yeah I googled it quickly and that gives me prices around 100 a year. Random example from NBC News below. Perhaps Anja's initial costs are lower?

"Private cord blood banking can be expensive. Depending on the bank, current promotions and whether you're storing cord blood, cord tissue or both, initial processing fees can run from roughly $500 to $2,500, with annual storage fees of $100 to $300 each year thereafter."

Maybe someone who works with turbines can clear this up for me, but are these some cheap or old turbines? I have nether heard a turbine that loud in my life.

I found the value of 105 db at the source for a modern turbine, which would mean at a distance of about 700m the noise would be negligible. Possibly Greece doesn't have high enough standards for turbines and this is the result of a lowest-bidder kind of scenario?
Always a pleasure to read an appreciation of this turning point in human thought. But, like most accounts, this book excerpt gives the impression that Einstein worked alone to develop his theory. In fact, it was more of a collaboration:

The article discusses how information overload has led to inflation, as people are inundated with more information than they can process. This affects not just the economy, but also our personal lives, as we struggle to keep up with the ever-growing amount of information. Which is something that resonates with Leo Tolstoy's philosophy in War and Peace about how the more people know, the more difficult it becomes to make informed decisions.
For the most part, it is disposed of unfortunately :( there's super limited awareness on cord blood banking in the US
> If modeling taxonomies of the world is not OOP modeling, what is exactly?

It is, but modelling the taxonomy of a different domain than the one you are operating in is not. “An mutable object whose current state will always correspond to some square and can be mutated to correspond to any square” and “A mutable object whose current state will always correspond to some rectangle and can be mutated to represent any rectangle” (which are the entities in the domain being discussed) are not the same things as “a square” and “a rectangle” (entities in the domain of geometry), and taking the is-a relationship that holds between the latter and trying to apply it to the former is bad modelling at a level prior to how it reduces to implementation in any particular programming paradigm.

DDD is at least 3 decades more recent than OOP, and is not equivalent to it.
There seems to be 2 seperate issues:

1. The author seems to be arguing that the class was not well taught, given its goals.

2. The author disagrees with the goals of the class.

The goal of a math for non-majors class isn't to give them a chance to explore math. It's to force them to learn as much applied math as they can handle, and to figure stuff out independently.

I'm guessing it's presumed that students are doing one of the last math courses they will ever do, before going into a field where they need to be able to use mathematics. I bet that when there's a meeting between the science or engineering professors and the math professors, the the math department doesn't hear "give them more support so they learn what's on the syllabus properly", but "give them hell so they learn to figure stuff out for themselves, because after this they're on their own".

From the article:

> Princeton promises students a “liberal arts education,” and defines that as an education offering “expansive intellectual grounding in all kinds of humanistic inquiry.”

Yes, this probably isn't the goal of most of the math (and even most of the science) courses. They are more about grinding out highly proficient professionals. IMO there should be more courses where there's scope for students to just chill and do some intellectually engaging stuff, but when should that happen? I don't think it's possible to run a fun course when the students are stressing out over assessment in another course and expect the students will get much value out of it.

There's things like Terrance Tao's Masterclass, or Youtubers like Veritasium if you want to learn about science and don't care about a piece of paper.

I get that it's an issue that there's no piece of paper to earn to say you got a "expansive intellectual grounding" in STEM in a humanistic way, but if it's a credential it needs to be assessed somehow (or you get a Python Paradox - employers will take it as a signal for passion, then it will be swamped with people who just want to signal that they're passionate).

They could also make a third stream (2nd year math for non-STEM majors, as well as the math for STEM and math for math majors streams), but it may not be viable in terms of student numbers.

It depends what you’re allowing it for. For most companies, letting people use gmail with strong authentication and short sessions on personal computers that are patched, encrypted and up to date is a very small risk compared to the productivity gains.

All my life, large corporations did nothing but ignore me. I basically gave up at this point.

You are right - something like Pin in rust. It will be a new language feature, there are backward compatibility aspects, and the fact that it will need to be correctly done by all implementations (or it would fail its stated purpose). DirectByteBuffer provides a certain guarantee as it is.

On the other hand, the secrets might still be leaked via paging, so even this solution is a partial one.
I remember them from back then - they had info WAY before anyone else, but not everything turned out correct.

They had some amazing sources in the military, but they published everything, without trying to verify it first (which I guess would be impossible given the nature of their sources).

From what I remember they never lied or tried to spin articles, but they did not have a strong verification step.
Reading one history or politics text is table stakes. When studying the softer disciplines at a high level, you may well be expected to go through dozens of them in any given course, and be able to refer back accurately, compare and contrast, criticize, and where feasible develop these ideas. It's not trivial work, it can be just as hard as STEM.
Always good to keep a few coal powered inserters, hehe
I find it highly unlikely that Node will ever choose to support TypeScript out of the box. I’d love to be wrong, but it would be a sharp departure from their “bring your own” approach (eg with --loader/--require, the former being under active development).
How are they measuring sleep quality? I've been taking benadryl before bed because of allergies, and I am definitely sedated but my metrics as far as quantified sleep seem good. Heart rate drop, movement "deep sleep". Are they measuring brain activity? What is the metric?
> Eg. Most recently this surfaced outside of the literary community around Sam and Frodo's relationship in LOTR and whether or not they were gay.

I think the way to approach that is, what makes it necessarily 'wild', and why does that matter? Nonbinary sexuality is hardly political - it's been a natural part of the human race (and our ancestors and cousins) forever, long before current politics.

What makes it 'wild' is that it challenges norms to even ask the question. What makes it political is that anyone challenging norms tends to have their views politicized and suppressed - grab the torches and pitchforks. Later, when the same thing becomes normalized, it becomes something the next generation of conservatives defends.

The old saying is very true: 'First they laugh at you, then they say it violates the scripture, then they say they believed it all along.' (Except it omits the hatred and lynching.)
Importing from HTTP is a bad idea on so many different levels and for so many different reasons (security, immutability, sec compliance, project integrity… the list just goes on and on). We’ve been there (PHP remote includes) and it’s as bad as it can get.

> Siloing off the EU facebook, with no contact with the US side

That's insufficient as the US CLOUD Act allows the US government to compel a US company to cough up the data even if it is hosted in the EU and subject to EU privacy laws.

The only workaround I could see is one where they would spin out Facebook EU as a legally independent non-US entity (giving shares in it to Meta shareholders) and federate that with FB US.

I found this paper interesting [1] and how they characterize Firefox' behavior out of the box:

We investigate the request behavior of each browser
(Figure 7). Brave is the most effective at reducing third-
party tracking-and-advertising requests; its claim to (1)
is supported. The other privacy-focused browsers vary
significantly in terms of reducing third-party tracking-
and-advertising requests. Firefox Focus and Ghostery
differ significantly in how much they reduce third-
party tracking-and-advertising requests, but the perfor-
mance of both supports their claims, (1) and (2). Fire-
fox is least effective at reducing third-party tracking-
and-advertising requests. This is unsurprising, as Fire-
fox’s enabled-by-default “standard” tracking protection
“blocks fewer trackers” [79]. It errs on the side of caution
in what it blocks, focusing on restricting tracking cook-
ies, social-media trackers, and fingerprinting scripts; it
does not block other content (loaded ads, videos) that
may perform tracking [78, 105]. Thus, while Firefox
claims (2), its blocking of tracking and advertising is
limited with its default settings.

This is quite disappointing given Mozilla's marketing around privacy.

I only have anecdata and directing you to a search engine. The simple query "magnesium hypertension" yields multiple results going in that direction. Also, magnesium is used to "relax" cells from "contraction" by calcium. Anyway, that's my layman understanding, but magnesium deficiency being at the forefront of an epidemic of "tension" diseases, seems quite evident when you look at the declining nutritional quality in diets, and the increases in stress factors (also depleting magnesium).
If you look up the carrier of each number you called, are there any commonalities across them?

Google kind of seems like some jerks for pulling the carpet out from under us during the pandemic, after happily getting us hooked for 14 years.

Can't the Googlers, with their massive brain power, automate the email service completely so nobody has to think about it ever again? Why does every previously net-good thing that Ruth Porat finds need to be milked dry? The cow grows increasingly thin and tired.
The slides imply cross device/browser identification? I can't see how that happens without some kind of shared account mechanism.

The slides imply that losing cross device attribution is a regression. It absolutely is not, as such ability does not currently exist. So this

While I recognize the advertisers may want attribution, but it still seems like FB+Google both still want to know as much about the user as possible, and both definitely have the resources to achieve the de-anonymising attacks (especially given chrome's ever present attempts to get people to tie their entire browsing session to their google identity).
It's a packaging / communication problem.

"Computer science" is a term that no longer fits the mental model of the general population's idea. Basically nobody is thinking "Computers? Of course! You mean the lambda calculus, Turing machines, how these theories relate."

Most People are thinking about about the internet, websites, games, apps, robots, and so forth. Indeed one can build all these things without any concept of how busy a beaver really is.

Then you have a smaller subset of people who (allegedly) understood what "computer science" is from the outset, and they turn their nose up at anyone who misunderstood what this "Computer science" was. Even worse, they often feel somehow superior. How dare you be ignorant?

Practicality and value: these things can exist outside the realm of dense theory. Anyone who says otherwise is trying to feel better about the years and/or money spent on a very challenging and painful degree.

Invent is probably the wrong word since it implies agency, sure. Maybe "discover" or "luck upon", since whatever it's doing was formed by updating a pile of floating point weights with gradient descent?

I think it certainly makes sense to ask what the higher level "algorithm" at work here is, though. Electrons flow through wires and transistors in (say) an adder [1]; looking at the wires and transistors you won't see an algorithm for addition, but there is certainly one present, codified in the arrangement of those wires and transistors. But maybe we can reverse engineer whatever the LM is doing by a combination of probing it with experiments like these and (maybe) inspecting the learned weights. The Curve Circuits paper did this for reverse engineering a curve detector learned by a convolutional neural network: https://distill.pub/2020/circuits/curve-circuits/

I also don't mean to imply that it's a good algorithm, or one that generalizes to arbitrary numbers, etc. Maybe it's just (effectively) a lookup table and some special cases!

One caveat to note is the LED needs to be connected to a GPIO port that the software can control.

That leads to the obvious question for high-value systems that may be targeted - presumably fixed systems not laptops/notebooks/tablets - are the activity/power LEDs commonly connected via software-controlled GPIOs or mostly part of the electronic circuit only ?
Regarding TypeScript toolchains: esbuild and node make a dream combination. The configuration comes down to 3-4 command line parameters, and it's fast enough that you don't need to use any kind of incremental compilation mode. You can just recompile the world before restarting node each time. It's under 0.1 of a second for our projects at work! (and that's on a fairly slow machine where the node process startup time itself can be a few seconds when under load)
That's certainly an important year over year comparison that would be very illuminating about the actual heart-related risks of the vaccine. It is important though that we focus this comparison on New Zealand itself, as far too many studies have been comparing countries with disparate ages and obesity rates while using vaccinate rates as the only relevant metric.

> how little freedom the people could have should the government wish it.

In some ways, yes, but even the Chinese government is subject to pressure from public opinion. A major reason why the government continues the zero-CoVID policy is that it's popular. There are also scandals that force a change in policy: for example, changes to how the Xi'an lockdown was implemented after a number of highly publicized stories of individuals who suffered because of rigidly enforced rules.
