Can you point me to some overviews on this research?

I know this is just one example, but I remember the pretty fascinating study linked below quite well, where mens' testosterone levels were the determining factor in seeing how they reacted to their dogs' loss in an agility competition: men with high levels of testosterone punished their dogs by yelling and hitting them, men with lower levels of testosterone supported, petted and praised their animals. I don't think it's that much of a stretch to see how the "high testosterone response" would have been a status benefit to the man in question in the not-too-distant past, but now is much more likely to be a liability.

I'm surprised abiogenesis hasn't attracted more crackpots. there's no embarrassing dinosaur bones to deny or antibiotic resistance to explain away. lots of hints left in virions, archaea and ribozymes, but still a tremendous amount of complexity in LUCA to explain. I guess there's panspermia, but that just kicks the can down the road, and asteroids are a viable explanation for at least e.g. sourcing amino acids.

maybe because nothing's established enough yet to be dogma, and the field isn't practically important other than just being neat.
I also haven't owned a desktop in about 15 years but recently built one to replace my laptop. I specifically chose parts that had the most upgradability potential over time and while I'm at the beginning of this journey I'm pretty happy with my choice. I'm sort of thinking about only using a laptop as a commodity dumb terminal at this point.

Crucially it gives me an exist to tinker again and that's why I got into computers in the first place.
I've been using a Dell U38118DW monitor for maybe 8 months[ed: purchased it in July 2020 so closer to 20 months!] now and quite content with it. It has an internal USB hub that can be switched between two USB-3a and USB-C depending on which display input is active. I have my desktop attached to one of the 3a and HDMI, and can plug my frame.work laptop in to the USB-C to get 60hz Display Port alt-mode, charging, and all the usb peripherals swapping over.

though of course my laptop's intel GPU + mesa drivers tears drawing to the screen, but i generally don't care and don't watch video or play games on the laptop
It's not just their parents who are at risk from a COVID-infected child, but also grandparents, teachers, and the parents and grandparents of other children who this child might infect.

They are a public health menace, and should be quarantined until they are no longer infectious.
> The defacto public town square doesn't believe in free speech!

Twitter is not “the defacto (sic) town square”. The claim that it is is most typically deployed as an argument that it should be regulated. The rest of this comment continues apace. These are standard talking points in the (right wing) drumbeat to try and curtail free speech by regulating Twitter (and other social media companies).
> and makes me think we are relatively close to GAI

We’re not. This is undeniably impressive, and likely has huge addressable markets. But we’re still not remotely close to AGI.
It's also worth noting that Google is almost undoubtably violating childrens privacy laws, and other states are already investigating this... it's very possible what CPS is doing here isn't even legal. There's a lot of reason that the agreements schools are making to bring Google's platform in should be dragged out into the light.

It's astounding how difficult it is to find non-garbage build quality on, well, pretty much anything. Even just for something as basic as a charger, Apple is probably the only company you can rely on to not use third-rate electrolytic capacitors. Maybe Anker too.
I believe it's just "corporation". Have you ever worked for a company that was run democratically? I've worked at good and bad places, but ultimately the orders came from the top. I don't think Amazon is very unique in their governance and attitude towards their workers, they're just more competent than most at execution.
CPS does not really have a traditional school board and it’s not elected either (appointed by one of several mayors who ran on an elected school board and then reneged). OP can shout their complaints out over Lake Michigan for the same effect.
After getting a decent workstation I can never go back to a laptop only. IMO laptops border on luxury toys. I use mine almost exclusively for checking emails and programming in places I just can't lug a desktop into, like the outdoors or an internet cafe.

If you use Chrome and opt out of sharing data with Google, they can still pair the ID from origin trials with your IP address and have a very good idea of who you are - or what installation of Chrome you’re using, which is basically the same thing: https://www.google.com/chrome/privacy/whitepaper.html#variat...

If you anonymize your IP, and turn off tracking, then yes, not much to say there until they start fingerprinting the fonts you have installed or something…
I'm not sure about with children, but with adults men are more likely to use a gun, at least in the U.S. I think partly that's due to access, but it may also point to some other gender difference.
Usually you will see that in the reviews. Depending on the defect rate, stars will drop accordingly I find.
I'm not sure about that. Maybe it's the best solution to the problem of finding an easy way to commit suicide relatively painlessly. If you don't mind experiencing extreme discomfort, there are easier ways to commit suicide. I.e. ways that require less effort.

As I told you "social sciences" is not a field. It is many fields. The average 20%~30% is a product of some toxic fields with 90%~100% nuts and some fields with 50%~60% nuts to some fields with 0~5% nuts.
I agree, Overland is good.

I recently added support for it to my blog (which uses twyne.rtfd.io) so I could more easily geolocate photos (from my non-GPS camera), and it was pretty easy to integrate. I tried GPSLogger too, but found that battery life was much better with Overland, and it also has a better system of queuing points when offline (with GPSLogger I found that it lost data at times such as when there was an internet connection but the server wasn't responding).
This is a very complex topic. however - even if we ignore the civil application of nuclear technologies for radiation therapy, nuclear energy, x-rays etc. Nuclear weaponry has been successful in preventing further destructive wars on the scale of WW2.

I don't believe anybody would have expected the western allies and the Warsaw pact countries not to go to war with each other had nuclear weapons not existed.
This means he was always using willpower to be nice to other children. Call it acting. He was good at it, so good people wouldn't realise he was acting for weeks or months. He was not "suddenly violent", he was pestered for days/weeks/maybe even months and eventually lost control. Nobody turns suddenly violent without reason, you've just missed something.

This long list of one-sided remarks with no explanation is typical of schools where teacher supervision is totally lacking. Of course they still see the explosion, no matter how bad the supervision. What they miss is the reason. They see how it ends, not the buildup towards it. And, of course, the buildup is the problem, not that a kid eventually loses control. Every kid and adult will eventually lose control, given enough stress.

That the kid was able to do so much damage is also an indication that oversight totally failed. Was there no warning sign before that helmet shot? really? Yes, of course there were. Many of them. They just totally missed everything. It isn't that nothing was happening in the class, it's just that shooting another kid in the face is the minimum threshold for getting to a teacher's attention that maybe some supervision is necessary. Then, of course, the teacher demands some extreme punishment and declares "everything went so fast". Everything went "so fast" while this teacher was looking at these kids for hours ... Either their ability to predict social interactions is worse than a dog's (unlikely), or the teacher was playing angry birds for hours at that point. The second factor also explains why the teacher demands extreme punishment: to hide that they're not supervising the kids.

Some commenters in this thread seem to think that boys aren't as valued as girls, and I haven't seen any evidence for that. In fact, in many ways, the opposite seems true.

The statistics regarding suicide don't prove that boys are less valued than girls. That's my only point here.

They are, but there has always been a contention between local admin vs domain admin (managed accounts) and usually the case has been that the domain admin overrules the local but the local admin can un-join the domain.

This is not that different. The moment you join the remote domain, you no longer have top privileges. You can still unjoin at any point but as soon as you join, you're placed under a different hierarchy.
I don't understand the point. couldn't it just mean that men are more likely to be crackpots? or that women are more likely to read up before confidently asserting they know the answer?

I used to think the string theorists were a bunch of charlatans. But matching first-principles entropy at the event horizon gives me pause. Even if they are all wrong about anything beyond the Standard Model, they have a sort of encoding of it in its entirety that ought to suggest places to look for interesting phenomena.

Maybe the math is too hard to predict what happens in such places, but they will have done something useful in pointing at them. It's not exactly science, as such, but not everything useful has to be.

(I gather that in the stringy black hole model, there is no actual space inside the horizon, so no need for a singularity. I may have misunderstood.)
That's the whole package though, together with the RAM and everything. The Actual die is about the size of the thermal paste stain on that picture.

Focusing on covid would have completely misdirected from the important point that this trend has been in place for decades. I know the comments section is everyone's chance to project their personal covid grievance on whatever they're reading. But if you truly take this issue seriously you should be interested in its actual causes, which clearly predate covid. If you'd rather weaponize the cause in service of partisan nudging of the line on public health policy back and forth around the middle, go ahead I guess.
A few minutes of Googling showed me this upcoming meeting https://www.cpsboe.org/meetings/details/2329 on April 27th, 2022. It seems to be a Chicago Board of Education meeting, and seems to have options for public participation.

I've made a judgment about the event with what I have read. I have no intention to bully anyone.

My point is clear, we are only reading one side of the story and I don't see an iota of maturity in the story he described. Therefore I also don't believe that his manager called everyone in the town to tell them not to hire him. We don't even know the feedback was sent out to his manager.

Maybe the other employers figured out on their own or maybe they asked his manager for a reference.
I've had a lot of "just works" with thinkpads' pre-loaded windows installs.

It is curious how you think that one type of victims of same regime is more deserving than the other.

Especially those Belorussians, just a few months ago they were fleeing from concentration camps, where they were tortured and raped, but now the situation is completely different, and the temporary houses they occupy would serve fleeing Ukrainian better.
I wonder how much of this relates to public perception of hacking and internet security as well. Many methods and procedures are written about with a romantic air.

One of the best things about Eigen is that it is the only linear algebra package that I know of that easily supports using the same code for low, high, and arbitrary precision floating point numbers. I had some linear system of equations that I need to solve in grad school where the condition number was small enough that double precision was not sufficient to solve the problem. I was able to very easily use double double, quad double [1], and arbitrary precision floating [2] point number implementations to solve these problems. The matrices I used were not especially large, but I couldn't find any other existing packages that fit this use case.

This is a thing many people believe, but it's not an axiom. The balancing of interests an "intervention" to resolve this would require come at their own cost of free association, and the lines you'd have to draw to make new restrictions on e.g. moderation workable are treacherous.

You can argue that major platforms like Twitter are essential to free speech, maybe even persuasively. What you can't do is make your case as if it were a self-evident fact. It is not.

I think I've proven my point well enough here by making it clear that in order for them to stay under 1kLOC they have had to make golfing-style changes that cannot be automated.

If I were hell-bent on convincing you, I could fork their repo and add literally any feature requiring more than ten LOC and win. They would have to bend over backwards to get enough lines back to be able to merge whatever it is I wrote, with exponentially worse effects per individual line contributed.

But I'm not hell-bent on convincing you. You know that I'm not actually going to write code for you. You might think it's a clever rhetorical strategy, but it's not. Because I have other things to do, like a day job and personal projects, whose preemption of my jumping through your hoop are completely disconnected from the veracity of my line of reasoning.
> The major goal of the program, Amazon’s head of worldwide consumer business, Dave Clark, said, was to reduce employee attrition by fostering happiness among workers — and also productivity. Shout-Outs would be part of a gamified rewards system in which employees are awarded virtual stars and badges for activities that “add direct business value,” documents state. At the meeting, Clark remarked that “some people are insane star collectors.”

Truly insane, there is nothing stranger (or more dystopian) than fiction after all. Rather than fix the system of working their employees to death (literally in the case of the tornado) or improving their conditions, Amazon tries to use virtual gold stars (not even physical stickers like kindergarten) as a band-aid. That list of banned words is right out of 1984 (as cliché as it is to reference at this point): ethics, fairness, freedom.

I cannot imagine anyone here seriously defending this unless you’re just looking to be a contrarian. This is not “par for the course” for manual labor jobs as some people are claiming. Most manual labor jobs do not restrict you from talking about ethics or justice with your coworkers or have even a need for some virtual gold stars beyond a little whiteboard in the building with number of sales, employee of the month, etc. The fact that these techniques won’t work for Amazon just shows that their laborers are really over-worked compared to the norm. Unfortunately, Amazon is able to use their massive resources and capital to pay just more than the local factory, packing gig, etc. so they have a stream of desperate people willing to take it.
He was running ten amps over thin wires; of course that doesn't work. The problem there was that he was transmitting significant power at low voltage and high current. That doesn't say anything about the superiority of AC or DC. AC has historically been the more practical choice because you can trade AC voltage for current easily with a transformer, but there are ways to do that with DC now too. Maybe there's an argument to be made that transformers are cheaper or more reliable than boost converters; I don't know one way or the other.

If wikipedia is to be believed, DC is better in terms of conductor material costs and transmission losses than AC, at least for long distance high-power high-voltage transmission lines.

> A long-distance, point-to-point HVDC transmission scheme generally has lower overall investment cost and lower losses than an equivalent AC transmission scheme. HVDC conversion equipment at the terminal stations is costly, but the total DC transmission-line costs over long distances are lower than for an AC line of the same distance. HVDC requires less conductor per unit distance than an AC line, as there is no need to support three phases and there is no skin effect.

> Depending on voltage level and construction details, HVDC transmission losses are quoted at 3.5% per 1,000 km, about 50% less than AC (6.7%) lines at the same voltage.

I am doing these Type-C hubs, and other small stuff peripherals for a living.

My suggestion, don't look stuff retail, and don't look big brands, even Dell.

Pretty much any "brand business" had zero RnD. Their only feedback channel is the RMA rate. If it gets too bad, they just change the supplier.

Instead, I really suggest going the other way. Smaller makers have no money for big marketing, nor buying ready designs, so they hire people, and let them work until they make something sellable.

House brands often have better QC, because they are already very constrained by their pricing, and RMA will kill them. Thus, they have incentive to spend few extra thousand dollars in engineer work hours than to deal with $100k in returns themselves.

My MBP (2017 no-TB) runs significantly hotter when plugged into my Anker dock and powering my Samsung 1080p display. The laptop is closed in this configuration, so it's only running one display either way. But it's 10-15°C warmer when plugged.

It's possible this is because the closed lid keeps heat in. I've also heard that using any external display requires the laptop to use its discrete GPU, and this generates additional heat.

Either way, it's pretty annoying because the laptop starts throttling itself with very modest usage.
after realising where you are going with this I addressed your tactic in an edit to the comment above.
There's a comment only visible via showdead from somebody who claims to be working in China and that the 8153 is actually fine except most of their employers' competitors mess up powering it properly, and it's a cheap enough chip to not be particularly happy when that happens.

I have no means of verifying this, but it seems at least a plausible hypothesis.
What we're going to do about this is what we've done about it so far - nothing. The real question is what they're going to do about it. What would you do if the place your family lived became uninhabitable? What would stop you from moving to a more hospitable climate?
