Because, when it's my bed time, I go to bed. I know that I have responsibilities that require me to get a full nights sleep. The kids? It doesn't matter if they know that they have to diffuse a nuclear bomb in the morning. They will stay up all night on their devices if given the chance and then let the world burn. Their brains are not ready yet. That is why they have parents.
>In the vast majority of the anecdotes I know where the person developed serious symptoms, they first had quite mild symptoms for about a week or two, sometimes longer.

Serious symptoms arent usually caused by the virus, which peaks 3-5 days after symtoms, then dies out.

If you want to treat in the viral stage, early action is incredibly important. If you want to treat the after effects, it is less critical.
I dove in recently and am enjoying it on a home server. The only trouble I had was with setting up fuse filesystems correctly. A couple times it completely refused to boot because I got some fuse option wrong and a filesystem failed to mount. These were options that worked correctly when started dynamically through "nixos-rebuild switch" but not on boot through /etc/fstab. I've written my own overlays and some derivations for my own tools and genuinely enjoy the language.

I'm sympathetic to this too. If I were writing a program that critiqued a sample and suggested alternatives, I might give the output to the writer and ask "why not this?" But not insist they adopt it verbatim.

This is what a second grade reading book would look like: boring and repetitive.

On the other hand, what it replaces:

Governments and doctors use them to guide communication for a general audience. Schools and textbook manufacturers use them to tailor reading assignments to particular grade levels and students.

.. is not that great, either. (I happen to like the word "moreover" but maybe that's just me!) It has several flaws which she's corrected:

1. Vague, pretentious, academic-sounding words ("enabled their widespread adoption").

2. Just plain unnecessary words ("to help write technical documents" could just be "for technical documents" -- what else would you use them for, if not writing?)

"guide communication for a general audience" -- totally unnecessary and pretentious. Something a committee would write.

"tailor reading assignments to particular grade levels and students" -- also verbose and unnecessary.

3. Passive voice ("has enabled")

On the other hand, the bullet points are babyish and condescending. So how about this?

"Moreover, readability checkers are simple, and they're being used more and more in writing. Military engineers, governments, doctors, and schools all use them."

Do you need to say HOW each group is using them? No, you don't; it's obvious.
IANAL but I'm pretty sure this would count as destruction of evidence
> with DMA access to your phone.

This is false FUD that keeps being repeated. It's not true. No iPhone ever has had a baseband with DMA access to my knowledge, and modern Qualcomm devices have advanced IOMMU systems to firewall away the baseband from the rest of system memory. I'm sure some phones somewhere existed where the baseband was privileged, but it's not the norm.

Companies like Purism keep repeating this lie (their marketing is outright false) to sell you less secure "free" phones that actually have a larger attack surface for the giant proprietary baseband blob. On the Librem 5, the baseband is connected via USB, and they don't have USB device filtering enabled, so the baseband is exposed to the entire Linux kernel USB device driver attack surface. We know that's full of exploitable vulnerabilities, just ask any USB device developer how many times they've run into a kernel panic by accident. That's much worse than an embedded baseband with a single purpose shared memory interface and proper DMA restrictions.

Please research this stuff before continuing to propagate this myth. It doesn't help users' freedom nor security to have it being parroted over and over again.

Have rising sea levels and storm surges been taken into account for the planning of the entrances? Watching the video, wondering if it is an accurate depiction of size and placement, I couldn't help the bolt of consternation that shot through me, because those entrances look awfully close in elevation to sea level.

And regarding air management, in Japan and HK at least, driving through lengthy tunnels can already be a stinky affair, especially in summer, so ensure your vehicle's air conditioning system is set to cycle the air inside the car. The Tokyo Bay Aqua Line tunnel that connects Yokohama to Chiba is quite long and it uses large fans that vent at mid-way points, one doubling as a tourist stop. The Fehmarnbelt tunnel being the longest in the world is therefore longer, and I didn't see such venting points. Yes I noted the air movers in the video. But hey, I'm hopeful that such problems will attenuate with electrification.

I used to say the same thing, but now that there is so much K8s knowledge out there, I think it's the wrong question to ask.

You probably don't need kubernetes, but if you already have a k8s cluster and someone who has done it,, with 10 to 20 minutes of work you can deploy your app/service in a highly available. Even if you don't have a k8s cluster yet, these days you can provision one easily without advanced levels of knowledge.
Even just zero-down time deploys make k8s a good choice for a small shop. You basically get it for free with K8s.
>The protesters are locking the government and many US and Canadian systems out of the ability to travel between the countries or engage in many types of free commerce.

If you think those actions are illegal, the correct course of action is to prosecute them under the normal judicial process, not to shut them out of society "nosedive" style. Murderers and rapists do worse but even then we give them due process.

>They haven't confiscated the money, they have simply frozen the accounts, effectively saying "block our commerce, we block your access to money to support your actions."

As was stated in the OP and my previous comment, the argument here isn't that "this protest is legal and should be allowed", it's "if the protest is illegal, the government should go through the normal legal channels (ie. courts) to shut it down, rather than having the executive branch unilaterally dish out punishments.
What does weeding out the weak even mean here? Like they might identify the ones who aren't good at defending themselves, but then what? Are they planning on taking all the weak children out back and putting them down?
Let's see, first of all this is a research project not an attempt to build a commercial product (yet). Indeed it is not currently optimised to do analog matrix multiplication particularly well, but what prevents it from performing better is well understood and relatively easy to fix. Of course we are aware of commercial efforts, but this is a pretty long running research project, so not all of those necessarily existed, when it was set in motion. As an example wafer-scale integration was accomplished on BrainScaleS way before Cerebras pushed for it, clearly they have executed far better on building a commercial product around it.

Our motivation is to build large scale accelerated neuromorphic hardware and to prove that it can be useful. It is not particularly efficient or even feasible to train SNN with GPUs over large timescales, so eventually we will need to use on-chip learning. This paper could be seen as an intermediate step, it's useful to know that the hardware can be optimised in the very least as a base line for further experiments.

Applications are not our primary concern at the moment, for the most part we believe that once we have identified the right algorithm(s) and hardware that is able to support the implementation of these algorithms it will be possible to apply it to many problems. For ANNs backpropagation had been figured out a long time ago, but the recent successes started after 2010. To be clear for SNN inference our chip is far faster and has far better latency than a GPU and is roughly ~10x faster than Intel's Loihi. Application areas for that are admittedly niche, especially as long as we can't scale to far more neurons.
Don't forget the other side of it: we as programmers, designers, PMs, etc. have a lot more concentrated power than end users do. One of many good reasons to unionize is the ability to set professional standards.
There is no reasonable expectation that Tokamak fusion operating or capital cost will fall much.

While fusion doesn't need containment for radioactive fuel, a reactor must be much larger than a fission plant because the volumetric energy flux density of fusing plasma is enormously lower than of uranium. And, the heat has to be collected by blasting neutrons right through the magnetic coils and into a "blanket" of thousands of tons of molten, radioactive lithium, in pipes all around, the which does need to be contained. People get testy when that much molten, radioactive lithium runs downhill.

The lithium needs to be confined in plumbing which will be weakened by the neutron blast and need to be replaced frequently, but will be deadly radioactive so need to be replaced using robots. That plumbing is really most of the reactor. Probably it should all be underground, so that when it is seen to cost more to refurbish every couple of years than it is worth, it is already buried.

Meanwhile, the lithium needs to be processed continuously to extract transmuted tritium to use for fuel. It is hard to imagine molten lithium processing being as cheap as managing the water and steam in a fission reactor.

Then, you need to move the heat from the lithium into liquid that will not pick up its radioactivity, thence to water for steam for the turbines. And, you need to maintain the steam turbines frequently, same as in a fission reactor.

Contrast this to negligible upkeep cost for solar and wind, which mostly amounts to unbolting and replacing them as they pass two decades of service. Your storage method might need some upkeep, but you chose it for its low cost.
I think it should be up to the teachers wether they focus on teaching about markets or teaching about collaboration; both are valuable lessons for later life.

However, I am curious what you think a free market solution to this problem would have looked like? To me it looks like there was a free market before the intervention. What would "growing the pie" look like in this case?
My last flight home from the Marines was like that. They said to expect heavy winds on approach so I began to drink heavily. The flight was only half an hour long. It was fun.

So we are getting into information theory, but any cryptographic protocol that generates cyphertext that is distinguishable from random noise is easier to crack than the stated security level. So a 128 bit encryption protocol, if the cyphertext can be found to have any data in it that can be demonstrated to be non random, the protocol does not have 128 bits of security.

All good encryption protocols will always create cyphertext that is indistinguishable from random noise, this is not an endorsement of any "good" protocols, but rather a general statement about encryption which must be true. You should not be able to infer anything about the data encoded in the cyphertext without the key.
> adults must be tyrants where children are concerned - you can't logically bargain with emotionally immature humans. Occasionally somebody is going to get sent to the car or a time out.

Yes you're right. Perhaps my whole take is "it's not how i would have done it" & "is not the lessons I would be trying to teach."

As someone who had to punch upwards to climb out of poverty, I'm trying to think how a young me would take this lesson. I probably wouldn't even really get it, I probably wouldn't have been able to be in this class. But if I were..

I just find it conflicting. I'd be interested in seeing where the kids are now and/ where they came from.
Agreed, the plain text loses a bit too much of the original meaning. For example they refer to ID people without saying what it means. I had to flip back to the non-plain version where they write Intellectually Disabled before introducing it as an abbreviation. (Edit they actually list it higher in the article in the plain version, guess I missed it while skimming, but they write the full words multiple times in the non-plain. It still feels like rather than just simplifying what they say, they just say less).

It also feels like the non-plain version is more complex than it needs to be. I agree with the point though, maybe they're exaggerating both sides. But I feel like either side could benefit from being a bit closer to the middle of the complexity spectrum.
Well, one simple case is to make a media player. I used it to make a simple one[0] a few years ago (two bottom right windows, the top left windows are an unrelated directory browser).

> I feel visceral disgust reading this article. It seems like the kids were playing with each other in a healthy way and the teachers interposed themselves to change how the kids were playing for political and ideological reasons. This is disgusting to me because I think it's analogous to physical abuse.

It's a school district in Seattle. How many teachers do you think 5x'ed their net worth with the appreciation of their property alone in the last decade? How many of them voted no against public housing being built near their property?

This is horrifying. You have a huge number of disfranchised people, who can't normally participate in society -- they can't get a job, they can't a mate. On this path lies radicalization and violence. I'm not sure you understand how truly chilling this is. These people, with nothing to lose, absolutely nothing to lose, have easy access to weapons and ammunition.

You are sitting on a very very large powder keg and it will take just one spark, one charismatic leader, to unite them and blow the whole shebang up.

Gigabit is definitely worth it for me. I can start download for a 50+ GB game on Xbox game pass and be ready to play in a few minutes. I often get home and finish eating by 9pm, and not needing to wait 45 min to an hour to download a game makes a huge difference.
It’s a problem that will make everything you do worse until you fix it, so yeah it’s worth solving first and foremost.
There's also the 13cm band (2300-2450MHz) that overlaps in part or fully TDD-LTE Band40 and FDD-LTE Band30.

North americans also have 902-928MHz 33cm band, but that lacks the paired spectrum above it, so FDD-LTE or GSM are not possible.
And I don't think there's a widely supported TDD-LTE spec for it.
Nothing is private if you send it somewhere.

> what makes Nix powerful is that it is built on the back of an actual programming language. it’s fundamental to the whole thing.

I think I agree with this.

> the difficulty people have with it is that it’s functional, not that it’s nix.

No I don't think that's the problem people have with it. Speaking for myself the thing that's hard about Nix is first and foremost the bad error messages and secondly the complexity of idioms used in nixpkgs. If you stray just a little bit from the happy path, you're liable to get a ton of very arcane problems, and the error message often has nothing to do with the actual problem because a lot of the idioms used in nixpkgs end up doing clever things with Nix that work well when everything lines up just right, but blow up when just a little bit is wrong.

The functional parts of Nix can be obstacles for someone new to functional programming, but when something goes wrong the developer has a clear sense of what is wrong ("ugh why is this immutable?!") even if it's not clear how to fix it. The sheer complexity of nixpkgs though can cause breakages in ways that don't make it clear at all what went wrong.

There are a variety of ways that this could be fixed either in concert with changes to the language itself, or whole-scale changes to the interpreter/compiler.

Layer 7 proxies like Cloudflare can read the headers but there seems to be some mix up between API keys sent in URLs and basic auth.

This is how that argument usually goes.

At $200/tonne (a reasonable minimum price that we should be paying for CO2 emissions), you'd be looking at $400 million budget increase on a project with a budget roughly 8.5 billion USD 7 years ago [1]. It wouldn't make or break the project.

If we want people to start taking CO2 into consideration when designing projects, it needs to have a cost associated with it. Ideally that cost should be used to offset the CO2 emitted. It wouldn't solve any issue but it will incentivize solutions that use less CO2.

I would argue it isn't. I love that graphic (I use it in classes frequently) but it's limiting here.

Accuracy is about how close to the underlying behavior that is being modeled is. In this case, the goal is modeling the controllers they are using.

Precision is about how stable I can make my controller parameters and how stable they can make the behavior or the underlying fusion.

What they did was changed the fidelity of the model. Rather than parameterizing it using a known controller model (e.g., a PID controller) they used the neural network to fundamentally discover the important parameters that they can understand and how they interact.

The simulation can be accurate or not accurate entirely independently of how much fidelity of the actual phenomenon you model. You need to have a high fidelity model, and that model needs to be accurate, and they behavior needs to be precise and stable.

An example would be how wing profiles in aircraft are simulated/modeled. I can do it in 2D with high accuracy and high precision - it's a GOOD 2D simulation. But its low fidelity. I might be better off with a lower accuracy model of a high fidelity model, like a 3D model that lets me look at how the ends of the wingtip perform as well. Increasing the accuracy of that model might make the results less stable (because numerical techniques...great). A lot of improvements in computing power and simulation techniques have resulted in the ability to simulate systems more completely and learn about the interactions - not just making the simulation more accurate to what it contains.
