People that identify as heterosexual have extremely poor STD testing routines.

People that identify as gay or bisexual have better STD testing routines.

All groups have better STD testing routines and preemptive measures than before.

Gay and bisexual groups have better results by being more proactive.

If you buy an NFT of a Blender artwork that the artist has "minted" in 4K quality, and he later exports an 8K copy, do you "own" the lower-res one but not the higher-res one?

The answer is that the NFT represents the artwork, not the bytes in any particular file, in the same way that intellectual property law recognizes that the painting on your wall is merely a particular instantiation of the real, immaterial artwork that is protected.

The trick is to understand that neither links nor hashes are a key component of the concept (though both are useful to create a link between ownership record and some kind of representation of an artwork).
Is there implementation that is actively maintained?

CoreWar looks like my ideal programming game. Now I'm playing Zachtronic games (TIS100, Shenzen I/O) and occasionally Robocode.
Now waiting for the first sand cast bronze version, and the first machined from billet alloy version. And probably a pre preg carbon fiber one too.

(I haven’t looked to see it the supplied files include enough of the interior to be able to produce parts that properly fit all the required internals…)
There are a tonne of open source, MIT licensed ECS libraries in pretty much every language you can write a game in. And, at the end of the day, ECS frameworks aren't all that complicated at their core, it's not hard to roll your own, though libraries will have better querying features and optimisations.

The benefit is to the developer, arguably the most important part of the game development process. It can save a lot of headaches that OO hierarchies can create, makes things more easily concurrent, allows for more flexibility in behaviour and emergent gameplay.

ECS helps to prevent bugs in game object logic, by keeping state and behaviour separate from its corresponding entity. If I'm looking for some behavior, I don't have to start thinking about which ring of the inheritance chain it ended up on, I just find the component or system that does that thing. It encourages you to write state and behaviour in a way that works with any entity and can be attached to anything at any time without crashes and state mutation problems or race conditions.

> One of the cool ideas in Dune is that there are no computers so people take a psychedelic drug to pilot spaceships. Maybe this is explained in some boring monologue or text flash but there's no reason it couldn't be shown and it certainly isn't.

The guild navigators I'd expect will be in the next movie, as the spice and its effect on Paul are explored more.

This concept though was well done with the mentat(s) in this one though IMO, they didn't explain it, just showed it. I'd expect they'll do similarly with the navigators when it comes up.

> It doesn't help that Timothy Chalamet and Zendaya are awful.

Zendaya's character is barely in this one. Maybe you know her from elsewhere.

I didn't have any real complaints on Timothy Chalamet's performance myself, but it didn't particularly stand out to me either.
> Not everyone is able to generalize from one class example to other situations.

I found the same thing in my tutoring experience. I had several students in physics whom I couldn't "reach" no matter how hard I tried to present "theory" using the equations in full generality (symbols instead of numebrs). I taught them this way because they this is the way I learned and because it seems OBVIOUS to me that learning the abstract thing is more powerful/efficient way to get through it.

Imagine spending dozens of hours with them and they still didn't "get" anything to the point I was feeling discouraged and was like this person will never pass this exam that they have next week. I felt bad because these were friends and I really wanted them to succeed (more friends in STEM, more STEM conversations with friends).

Lo and behold, these same people whom I thought were "physics dumb," were able to pick up all the material in literally minutes, as soon as we started the exercises (one person) or having tried some exercises on their own (the other person). I don't mean "imitate the steps"-know, I mean completely solve 80% of the problems on the practice exams and adapt the use of equations as needed for each problem. I mean it's still PHYS101, so there are only 10 or so equations, so they didn't turn savants or anything, but the transformation was so sudden and drastic that I realized people simply have different learning approaches.

Some people like the abstract/general approach. Some people like the hands-on approach. The latter kind of people often think they are "not good at X" but really they would have no problem picking up X if they had learning resources suitable for them (often lacking in traditional textbooks and courses). I think that's why Khan Academy videos are so popular. Sal does a fair bid of hands-on approach, and many people need that!
It’s really bizarre to me that the conversation devolved into arguing over whether people could lock the doors when a program and 7 people literally went up in smoke. As others have said, why or even how would this have even come up? The screening process would have weeded non-committed people out long before. And the men and women in that room were as gung ho as the people strapping the rocket on.
Without commenting on the overall trend's cause, your diversity hypothesis is bunk and suggests you are looking to making things fit a diversity-related narrative:

- there's (unsurprisingly) no significant diversity-word change from 1900 to 1940 but a very significant distance drop

- there's a big diversity-word change around ~1990 with no concomitant distance change
Just a plain user/pass is not going to cut it, I said "same or better level of security" for a reason.

For example, all VPNs give you a single lockout/change password point, so this has to be at least common authentication. And VPNs have good logging for connections, so you got to have this too. And if your VPN client had device attestation, your solution should have have this too. And also services on VPN are not nearly vulnerable to auth bypass bugs, so your webserver should have some protection on this too (authenticating proxy?).

I think !VPN is exactly hallmark of ZT... as long as security is preserved. If you disagree, what do you think ZT's hallmark is?

(There is a philosophical question: if a company had a crappy VPN with no logging, and multiple VPN servers with no central auth.. and went to equally crappy user/pass webapp on internet.. does this count as "ZT transition"?)
Nice work on this library! Hadn’t come across it before. I’ve been using Streamlit quite a bit the last few months and really enjoy it. Have a few ideas in mind for incorporating plost after going through the sample app and seeing the event plots!
I’m hoping some of the mobile app 3D scanning software starts to take full advantage of the TOF laser dot point sensors available on current flagship phones, and fusing that point cloud data with the cameras and gyro/accelerometer data as you wave the phone around scanning the object. (That was a big reason behind me upgrading to an iPhone13Pro.)
I expected this to be controversial here, but there's absolutely nothing wrong for Mozilla to partner with Meta on this, and there are excellent reasons for Meta to be willing to participate in good faith.
It's real simple. iOS 15 really hurt Facebook, and Facebook's advertisers. Facebook would obviously rather do attribution through a privacy-preserving standard than not be able to do it at all. Apple's made it clear that those are Facebook's only long-term choices[0]. There are ways to get it done, and the industry should collaborate on it.

[0]: by the way, do most people here know that Apple's been working for many years on an equivalent privacy-preserving attribution standard, just like this Mozilla-Meta proposal? That it's in Safari, today, right now? (Go in Preferences -> Privacy, and notice the "Allow privacy-preserving measurement of ad effectiveness" checkbox. Ticked by default!) Where's the outrage? Is this backlash really based on rational grounds?

It's actually an interesting question to wonder at the legal mechanics behind this.

There aren't any. Whatever you can do with NFTs you can do with vanilla cryptography without the overhead of proof-of-work and proof-of-stake mechanisms.
In keeping with Stigler's law, probably neither Spolsky nor Varian first identified the pattern; the question with these things is communication: will we communicate better this concept if we decide to throw all that out and start talking about "Yule's law" or "the Yule effect" and never say "commoditize your complement" again? Quite aside from the problem of all the things already named after Yule, the latter seems to already be familiar to many of the people who need to know it, and more satisfactory than starting over from scratch.
Important to note that once you adjust for the base rate (gay men being well under 10% of the population), the risk among gay men is still much much higher.
> But that is not the majority of the tasks, neither, learn algebra help me much about the whole endeavor (maybe only if I'm building an algebra library).

Sorry-- I completely and totally disagree with you. The core things I learned about mathematical structure in algebra classes have informed my entire programming career: pure functions, commutativity and associativity, factoring and composition. Both discrete and continuous math are necessary to be a computer scientist. Yes, you may be able to do some things without them... but you're going to be limited.

> Any person too?, maybe. I heard identical arguments in other fields. No joking, even in a law firm.

Algebra is basically required for a secondary education at this point, let alone college. Yes, it has broad applicability. Even in law: we expect many lawyers to be competent at calculations that are best addressed with algebra.

These are the same developers who want a good out-of-the-box experience. It seems to me that lsp-ui is meant to replicate the features of VSCode, it's not surprising the same developers want to make it easy to install language servers.

I'd prefer to install pyright myself in my own node virtualenv rather than having it dropped into ~/.config/emacs/.cache/lsp/npm/pyright, but I understand why autoinstall is an attractive option.
Commoditize your complement.

It may well me that buying tweets is stupid, and that no one will ever again pay even a dollar for the NFT of that first tweet, I don't know.

Nevertheless - it doesn't matter if Jack Dorsey deletes his account, or even Twitter shuts down. The tweet cannot disappear in the same way that all historical events continue to be a part of the human story. It sure would be nice to have a copy - the Internet Archive probably will, and surely others. But the fact that Twitter existed and that Tweet existed will never stop being true, and once the website disappears, nothing changes for the person who owns that NFT: There are no rights that he loses, nothing tangible that disappears for him.
I'm a massive Dune fan. I've read every one of Frank Herbert's books in the series and a few of his son's and honestly... I kind of agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the movie, and it was definitely a faithful adaptation to the book, but it could have been SO MUCH better. The potential for beautiful scenes and captivating stories was there but it never reached the point I thought it could. Maybe it's because I was watching it at home and not at a theater. They could have made the Baron so much more disgusting and villain-like.

From their own data:
The relatively small (n=101) population of gay men, made up 4.7% of the overall population, but:
- 3% of the "20-29 age bracket" subgroup
- 7.5% of the "at or below Poverty Level" subgroup
- 7% of the "3 or more comorbid conditions" subgroup, and 6.4% "2 comorbid conditions"

So yes, in a world where gay men are more likely to be old, sick and poor, they're also more likely to suffer from fecal incontinence. What a shock!
This is a great solution to this issue - two way transparency.
This isn't even true statistically:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/238997/minimum-wage-by-u...

Minimum wage isn't what is driving inflation. It's insane to me that folks think inflation will happen if we increase wages, when it happens regardless of that. It has more to do with the crazy subsidies / handouts we give to the top 1%.
Thanks this is good
not a lot of real use cases, because most things you can do decentralized, you can do better centralized.

Like there were Steam items and other in-game items people could trade for real money long before NFTs.

One legitimate use where decentralized cryptocurrency is actually necessary is buying stuff on the black market. Like if you wanted to buy shrooms, even though they’re technically illegal there’s not really any harm, I imagine lots of people do so using Monero. But honestly this is so niche even if the entire black market was shut down it would be for the better, because Monero is also used for very bad (i.e. immoral) illegal stuff.

Maybe someone else can provide a legit use but this is the real problem i have with blockchain. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the technology, but there just aren’t many actual use cases besides scams and illegal money transfer.
The West has a part of this as well - from the so-called Western betrayal to the post-WWII division of Europe into two. And it's not like America is not "liberating" countries after WWII at will the same way the Soviets arranged coup d'etats in those "liberated" countries as well. So, I don't think either of the players plays fairly. In this case, it's beyond the obvious that Biden is continuing what he started during Obama. Most Americans don't know what his beloved and totally perverted son was doing at the Euromaidan time in Ukraine!

Heck yeah mate! There's one or two of these here in SF (I'm currently working in the one I'm a member of) and glad to see others are opening up other options. Best of luck with everything going forward, I might reach out to check on your progress the next time I make one of my occasional trips to NYC.
The only language I know for sure to do it for you (as in you don't have to write the type) was Jai a while back (I'm told Blow removed that feature).

The only language I've actually done it in, is D. It's probably doable in many other nu-C languages these days, but D at very least can make it basically seamless as long as you do some try-and-break-shit testing to make sure nothing is relying on saving pointers when they shouldn't. This obviously constrains the definition of automatic ;)

I don't have my implementation to hand because it grew out of patch that failed due to aforementioned pointer-saving in code that I'm not paid enough to refactor (), but here's one someone else made https://github.com/nordlow/phobos-next/blob/master/src/nxt/s... there's another one in that repository too. I've never used those particular implementations but they're both by people I know so hopefully they're not too bad.

A more subtle thing, which I haven't used in anger, but would like to try at some point is to use programmer annotations (probably in the form of user defined attributes) to try and group things so things are stored such that temporal locality <=> spacial locality, but I've never bothered to actually do it.

There are some arrays of structs in an old bit of the D compiler that are roughly the size of a cacheline, and aren't accessed particularly uniformly. I profiled this and found that something like 75% of all LLC misses (hitting DRAM) were due to 2 particularly miserable lines... inside an O(n^2) algorithm.
That might be how worms work, but it’s not going to protect someone from installing a keylogger or a RAT from opening an infected Excel spreadsheet in an email, for example.

That’s much more reactive than proactive either way. Better as a secondary measure for a large business than as a primary measure for a small business.
They are not mutually exclusive. A company can act (or choose not) based on affects on reputation, but this doesn't eliminate the ethical component of those decisions. You needn't consider the ethics of a decision for it to have ethical implications.
> All female partners have said that they don't care about my weight, and some actually like some belly to rest on.

Contrary to popular belief by men, women are very visual. They say things to each other like 'How do I get the guys I am attracted to to notice me?' The problem we have is that when guys ask why we reject them we can't give any sort of honest answer because the men will start to debate our answers. Combine that with the fact that they are stronger and can physically assault us and many men don't get this important signal and are left with the impression that how they look doesn't matter to women.

Some men do eventually realize that their looks do matter when it plays out in the office.

If you want to look at it from an evolutionary perspective who should I choose for a mate: Someone I can see is strong, fit and in shape or someone who isn't? The lack of muscle definition hints of possible low T in the same way that overweight women hint that they are possibly already pregnant to men. Is that skin issue genetic or from lack of care? Who could better help and protect me and my offspring?

Sidenote: The fact that men don't take care of their skin is such a weird societal issue. Taking care of your skin at the basic level is an aesthetic choice like taking care of your teeth is. It shouldn't be gendered. Everyone should take care of their skin and wear sunscreen, it is your largest organ.

A man that is not overweight, has some muscle definition, showers and wears clothes that actually fit his body is instantly more attractive than the countless men that don't.

To add one final little bit to your original statement:

> All female partners have said that they don't care about my weight

We never want you to say that you care about our weight. We want you to care for who we are, not for what we looked like when you met us at 19. One day we will be 60. We also will not tell you what you have to do with your body. We have had a lifetime of men telling us what we should do with ours and know how negative that is. You can weight what you want and if you are our special someone we will not care, but we will be more attracted to you when you are not obese.
Not to mention that you would need to figure out how to keep the humans from having a mental breakdown. Myself, I would probably be clawing at the windows for a look at a non-existent tree in about two days.
Let's do some back-of-the-envelope calculations.

According to the article, "Half of all new HIV diagnoses were in heterosexuals (49%) in England in 2020, compared to 45% in gay and bisexual men."

Based on the official UK statistics, gay men are about 0.85% of the adult general population. [1] Based on the same source, 93.2% identify as being straight.

Then, if the incident rates were the same, you'd expect the straight HIV diagnoses to be about 110 times [2] the gay ones. However, the real number is ~1.09 times [3].

That means the incident rates are not the same, and gay men are about 101 times [4] more likely to be diagnosed with HIV in England. (This is of course just a ballpark number, but the point stands even if the numbers are a bit off)

[1]: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/cultural... ("Around 1.7% of males identified themselves as gay or lesbian in 2017", this might be a slight underestimate because of people being closeted etc.)

[2]: 0.932/0.0085 ~= 110

[3]: 49%/45% ~= 1.09

VBA viruses were quite prevalent for a while, though mostly primitive. The mitigation strategies put in place were not perfect but they were effective enough to move malicious actors towards more attractive vectors.
Counter Strike had more than a third installment and HL got two episodes and a prequel.
Cryptocurrencies have made greater inroads among the poor in America than the middle class, so it'll definitely hit them hard. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by realworld finances, but it's a worry.
Not quite 'just like this'. Brunner wasn't talking about prediction markets, but essentially Delphi method panels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi_method) which would provide odds for betting (hence the name 'Delphi pool'), but continually rather than merely being convened for a specific issue. Think of it like Las Vegas bookies: there's no 'market', there's a centralized bookie with its own hired guns & expert bettors setting the odds, which may, at its discretion or financial needs, change those odds based on bets its users make.
Thank you, really. It is nice to hear someone else acknowledge it. I'm going to start looking for a better job.

My belief is that they're flush with Steam money, and hardware isn't core to their business. If anything, they want to expand the PC gaming ecosystem, which is already very DIY and mod-friendly.

Thus, they can afford to set themselves apart from the likes of Apple and tell their customers to have fun.

Pessimistically, I imagine that if their hardware business boomed exponentially, their support costs would rise and the hardware designers would be pressured to reduce PEBKAC risks...
Mercerism is one of the weirdest things I've read about in any book. It makes sense it wouldn't be included in the movies, it's almost an unfilmable concept, I think.

Scary. I know heart disease runs in my family; my dad had a heart attack around 39 as well... but he was also a heavy smoker at the time, was living an almost entirely sedentary lifestyle (walk to the car drive to work, sit at a desk for eight hours, drive home, then sit on a couch until bedtime). His brother had died early of some congenital heart defect. You'd think a heart attack would have been a kick in the keester to start living better but he's still mostly living the same way almost 20 years later (minus the smoking- he swapped that for nicotine gum which I don't think is really much better)

I'm 30 now and with every year I tell myself "I really need to eat better/exercise more/etc or else I'll have a heart attack like dad". It's stories like this that make me even more scared haha. Lesson learned: listen to your body.
I'll bet there are some Rust build options they can tweak to get it way down...
