The thing to take away from this is: we got lucky. Very, very lucky. A somewhat longer incubation time, a higher lethality, a bit more asymptomatic spreading and the figures would be entirely different. If the first variant would have been one of the later mutations you'd be looking at a world in mourning today.
I think its interesting that two of the most bankable stars of their respective times are/were enormous guys: Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Which "server", exactly, will allow me to recover the messages from a conversation on Facebook after the service as we know it is long gone? (Out of business, moved entirely to the "metaverse", transcended along with the rest of the AI resistance, whatever.) Ditto my Twitter photo uploads, comment threads in GDocs, or app wireframes in Figma, much less code running on a cloud server somewhere.

Once upon a time, by recording a thing you made it durable *by default* and even got a copy you could do with what you liked. Now, recording and sharing words or ideas comes with zero assumption of durability. Your service provider's ToS and business fortunes might support them keeping it around and accessible for now, but there is zero guarantee that will outlast the whims and fortunes of a SaaS providers.

The combination of DRM (to lock down devices) and "everything lives in the cloud" (to keep custodianship and control of data in vendors' hands, not creators') means that without very intentional, often obscure and/or annoying manual steps, your correspondence, recordings, and other creative output will not survive you. Even _with_ painstaking effort there's every chance it won't work.

Personally, I've tried for a couple of years now to get people I work with to write important things down somewhere that isn't Slack, GDocs or another pay-to-play service. Business, personal, silly, whatever: as it stands, all of that culture and history and creativity is just going to go "poof!" as soon as some company's C-suite does the math and decides the storage and compute to make it available don't pencil out any more.

Now I just accept that unless I have 1) a complete, easily-cloned copy of something, 2) that I can access and manipulate using OSS software, 3) on a general-purpose computer I physically control, then that thing is not *mine*. If it isn't mine, I can't decide what happens to it in the near term, much less once I'm not around to lobby for access.
To paraphrase the head DEA agent in The Limey: "There's one thing I don't understand. The thing I don't understand is every word you just wrote."
> Single Source of Truth for certain presentation decisions.

You can't have a single source of truth for presentation decisions in a multilingual product. Different languages have different typographic traditions, will demand different minimum container sizes based on word lengths and maybe this is shocking but they sometimes run in different directions. If you are not integrating the dev, design and localized copy editing roles on your team, your product is going to look like trash except where the primary language of the team is concerned.

Translation can scale for large products, but localization cannot: until further notice, you can only do it the hard way, or the wrong way.
Respectfully suggest that this analysis is more whistling in the dark.

The very idea that human leadership has things under control overlooks multiple events in history - e.g. the Bronze Age Collapse we're still trying to explain - and suggests both amnesia and completely undue hubris. The idea also overlooks the potential for other kinds of simultaneous disaster being heaped on. (CME's for one.) We can anticipate them, but they are beyond our control - and may disable further options.

There was a mass extinction of hundreds of species of megafauna just before our known history begins. Can't agree on the cause - but nonetheless the Moving Hand moved on.

In the past two years, the fear and death created by one little invisible bug, which we declined to prepare for, has badly damaged economic stability. If we continue to overplay our weak hand, who will pay for the damage - and with what?
The first amendment places limits on the conditions that a state government can attach to university funding?
I suppose you could go the other direction. You could be an international human rights organization, and treat the database like a billion claim checks.

Having a definitive record of people's existence would make it more difficult for the authorities to skimp on natural disaster rescue efforts then lie about casualty numbers, treat citizens as canon fodder for military purposes, or simply wipe out individuals who have grievances with the government or powerful functionaries.
There is something deeply wrong with the authoritarian politics of the right and its casual use of racism to further political control.

> it's senselessly adding fuel to our political division.

This comment, whether you realize it or not, is coming from a place of extreme social privilege.

Remember that for the majority of people, politics is not a game. It is serious. People lose their rights to live the life they want all the time. Sometimes those politics turn violent and people lose everything.
> do a squash merge to the main

If you want Git to continue keeping track of your commits, don’t squash-merge them.

Squash merging loses valuable history in general and use of it is a sign that commits on source branches are being made carelessly.

(That said, if I had to do this, I’d rebase off of the squash before merging again and have no problems.)

People on this income don't live in the same areas as people on minimum wage and they don't interact with them.

We all tend to assess ourselves relative to people around us: neighbours, colleagues, friends. So if you're on 80k and everyone you know is on 100k+ you'll probably feel worse of than someone on 40k among minimum wage earners.
Well I the OS will still have the permission system in place even for sideloaded apps, so I don't see a huge issue here to be honest.
It doesn't make sense because the immunity does not "wear off" but rather the virus mutates beyond it. Mandating vaccines on a regular basis doesn't help because the vaccines aren't being updated to target newer variants.

Why not? Well, they tried. Moderna did a trial of an Omicron vaccine. It failed because the vaccinated population simply generated antibodies against the 2019 WIV strain "wild type" spike, not the Omicron spike. It only worked in the unvaccinated, but that's not a market for obvious reasons.

The underlying issue appears to be a form of imprinting or lack of resolution. Our bodies lack the ability to quickly differentiate the different spikes. The immune system just says, ah ha, a spike! I know what to do now, I've seen this problem before! Then it generates antibodies that don't bind properly, which is why the boosted are now getting so frequently sick with COVID even just months apart, which isn't meant to happen. In normal times, even after the virus mutated such that the body can't tell it apart from earlier variants, it doesn't matter because the virus keeps hitting people who were never previously infected and whose immune systems thus develop properly targeted antibodies. It acts as a firebreak and slows the whole thing down pretty dramatically, which is why most people can go many years without re-catching flu. But now we've broken that diversity by homogenizing the entire population. Almost everyone has now been imprinted with a spike that's long since extinct in the wild, so there's no firebreak anymore.

Given that context, insisting on COVID vaccine every nine months is catastrophic. It won't slow down Omicron, it would only make it worse, and the spike protein is cytotoxic. It's not at all free to repeatedly flood your system with it.
True on Android too. I was wondering if that was on purpose.
I said it saddens me that a physical social place is going extinct and you translate that to me thinking it's bad that people consume less alcohol?

I think this is why Millennials don't own any land. If you COULD come up with AI the middle-school dream is using it to buy a lot of land.

There's a social dimension to this.

I have heard through rumors of 2 people "buying" (ie with a mortgage, not really buying because there is a commensurate loan and they're not net ahead) a house. 2. Out of thousands, like it's impossible. No, let's see, no there's 3. Yeah 3 out of like six thousand. The 99.95% can buy a house. Well I haven't tracked the really rich friends from among them, the heirs, but that's exceptional.

Dude it's a shitshow. Everyone born after like 1981 is just getting fucked out of rent every month. Always behind on the landlord's allowance. Behind on his monthly rape. It's literally that, pay up or you're on the street getting raped, it's literally that for women (my sister worked in a nonprofit that helped evicted women they were getting fucked) and that's why broke beautiful women don't live in California, they leave. Get evicted, morally can't become a prostitute, packs her shit. I witnessed this, the party scene in SF sucks compared to 2011-2012. Gorgeous girls don't give it a chance because the rent is disgusting. You literally get government help if you make under $120000 a year, because the rent is extortionate. Rape extortion. Because cops don't help the homeless, and the homeless is whoever is behind on rent.
Hi love,
I want to honor your for never giving up on one of your heart's deepest desires. I can only imagine the discouragement you're feeling but you're still here asking for support/guidance. From what I'm gathering from your post, the BEST love hack I could possibly offer is going to be something that might seem counterproductive, but hear me out.
I know you're 41 and I know your biological clock is ticking and I'm sure that adds additional pressure to find a good man that you love to marry ASAP.
Buuuuuuuut there's a way to collapse time on the things you want to call into your life, there's a way to manifest at hyper speed and it's the last thing you'd ever think to do. Here it is... Surrender the timeline completely, surrender the hyper focus on needing to find a man AT ALL. This is an Abraham Hicks teaching. Sometimes when we focus too much on the thing we desperately want we are actually repelling it because we're SO aware of it's absence. The universe always gives us what we are energetic match for and the best way I know to become an energetic match to True Love is: "Stop looking, stop searching, BREATHE, relax, live FULLY, open your heart deeper. Serve this world with your gifts and let it come to you." That was the best advice I got from Lorin Krenn when I was calling in The One, my Sacred Union. I got crystal clear on what I wanted in a man (did a powerful journaling on the 08/08 portal - which is coming up!) and then I surrendered it all to the universe and focused on living my most aligned, soul fulfilling life... and I met the man BEYOND my wildest dreams a month later at a music festival called Blended, which blended culinary, wellness and music (3 of our FAV things in the world!). There's obviously more inner work that I did that I'm happy to share more about but that was the gist of it.
In my world, if you desire a Sacred Union, it's INEVITABLE! And in order to speed up the manifestation we have to sloooooooow down. Just know that ALLLL that you've invested in yourself is adding up, it's compounding and you're on the BRINK of the greatest love story... but in the meantime see if you can surrender ALL of it over to the Universe.
There's so many powerful resources but the most important one is to decide he's already yours and now you simply get to love yourself and your life SOOO fully that it actually is irrelevant if he shows up in this lifetime or not (love hack - get to a state of neutrality (surrender)).
I really hope that was helpful <3
Interesting - doesn't disprove it, but certainly makes it at best a very flimsy basis and a long conjecture. I wonder if there were any other things made with such composites of binder and fibers or fabric, or if this is really a long shot in the dark
Yes, this kind of training is for flying by instrument, which is quite hard. That's why they needed simulators.

When I was taking flying lessons, for one session the instructor had me wear a visor so I could only see the instrument panel for a while, and then try holding a course. I believe it's mostly just to demonstrate that you shouldn't try it until you're trained for it.
This is the opposite of how it worked. Again, I left a couple of years ago, but the methodology was "get a bug/RFE downstream, reproduce upstream if it's still there or implement the feature, get it through code review and merged into the codebase, cherry pick it into RHEL, making whatever changes are necessary".

Fedora is approximately as "vanilla" as Arch. If any patch was in a Fedora package which you had to pull out, it's because upstream did not accept the patch for some reason, but the maintainer decided it was critical enough to diverge. This isn't/wasn't SOP.

The Linux kernel patches are, as above, not really where they make money, which is consulting. But there is no such thing as an "upstream stable release" which Red Hat contributes to in any meaningful way.

Kernel features which are going to go into Fedora go into mainline. Not the LTS release. RHEL's support policy has a somewhat strict SLA on kernel ABI/API, and their support cycle is much longer than upstream "LTS" which "everyone else" (whomever that is, because Canonical and SuSE have policies similar to Redhat) uses.

Patches are cherry picked from mainline not to the "upstream stable" release, but to whatever version of the kernel RHEL-whatever shipped with. 2.6.18 for RHEL5, 2.6.32 for RHEL6. Forever. It has been this way essentially forever is not a new change, has nothing to do with excluding the rest of the community and everything to do with the fact that it was the only way that nvidia/emulex/whatever_hardware_vendor would agree to support Linux AT ALL. They were not going to rewrite their driver for RHEL3.5. Just RHEL3, now and forever so the ABI had to stay the same.

The patchset is publicly available as part of the SRPM, and as a raw .patch file. It is not individual patches anymore because Oracle was cherry picking patches from their cherry picks to repackage Redhat's source and poach customers.

It was moved to a single, enormous patch file so Oracle's kernel engineers actually had to work to integrate their ksplice/RAC/whatever patches, but that's politics.

Because they give the user choice?

Again, this isn't just a problem with the "default browser settings pane". The first time an iOS user clicks a link, the OS should give them a list of all major browsers (like Windows XP was forced to by the EU) so that no browser is favored over another. That would be fair.

Google's browser menu isn't a response to Apple's unfair default browser setting practices, but to Apple bundling Safari with iOS and unfairly advantaging it. Platform owners' browsers should ideally not be inherently favored, regardless of the platform's marketshare.
Gotcha. Yeah, you'd definitely be constrained to log time, though with proper bucket sizing it'd be manageable if the values were more bounded. For large datasets, there's just not a real good way to make this fast if you need an _exact_ answer. If you can deal with a probabilistic answer there's faster methods.
You would have to believe that Tesla, particularly, had that system, and not Google or DoD.

Tesla has something much more valuable: pigeons and dupes.
This is just about the most boring point you can raise about a NIST competition. It's right there on the label: "NIST". We get it. People don't like NIST, because of BULLRUN.

The problem this argument has is that NIST competitions are legitimated by their participants. People trust NIST's hash competition because of who entered, and because the winning team has an unimpeachable record. For the most part, people will trust this contest for similar reasons. If you could get this cast of cryptographers not to submit to NIST contests, and instead submit to some other contest, we'd have something productive to talk about. But you can't, and so, when we talk about contest-based cryptography standards, you're going to end up back at NIST.

I don't like NIST for another, better reason: I think the whole enterprise of picking cryptography standards in advance is bankrupt, and holds the industry back. So I'm not a NIST fan either. But I don't see what's to be gained by derailing conversations about new cryptography so we can relitigate the same points over and over again.

Meanwhile: pull up the authorship team on CRYSTALS-KYBER. Approximately 0% of credible cryptographers believe that NIST was somehow able to exert improper influence over this design.
That does add a wrinkle that makes the whole thing seem pretty suspect, at least to this US-based outsider.
- 10 BTC sounds a lot but it's peanuts for such large data sets.

- 750k row of sample data is large enough for a leak by itself, many on reddit/twitter/fediverse have already started to explore the data set for gender ratio, age composition and frequency of raping cases, etc.
This is great, data shows that beeping is effective for increasing seatbelts usage, I see no reason why this wouldn't apply to speeding.

I hope they take this a step further. Cars should not be able to exceed 90mph unless you have a special license for the track. 99.9% of drivers are not tracking their car and theres absolutely no reason a 6000lb pick up truck needs to go 150mph under any circumstance.

They obviously planned that ending in some way, since it was filmed before. Still, especially the last season definitely did not seem to intend this ending at all. In fact, it seemed to me like Ted finally accepted the fact that it's not going to be this ending.

That being said, I do think they could've made this work. If you read a summary, it doesn't sound that bad. The thing that really ruined it for me was the forced delivery within two episodes. It just felt like tearing down everything, with no consistent plot or delivery and then topping it off with a bad joke. If they scrapped the actual season 9 and instead made a season 9 and 10 leading there, it would've been totally fine. And they knew this was coming!

Also, on the subverting expectations part: This is totally fine. However, HIMYM is a comedy show. Playing it for a joke is fine, but that was more the "suprise, your mom has cancer!" type of subversion and definitely didn't fit the mood show.
> The really, really big problem is that people seem to think that they personally are going to be exempt from this

Is that a bigger problem than people who seem to think that they personally are saving the planet by their own actions?

I honestly can't tell the difference between treating gun crimes with thoughts and prayers and stopping global warming by taking personal responsibility. Nether is effective. Both seem delusional. Oh, and those two activities belong to different parts of the political divide. The problem is not "those people" so much as it's humanity, all of us.
My understanding is that he worked on NTRU Prime, which would have somehow benefited from NTRU being choosen.

Since months I am working on an open source localization solution that tackles both developer and translator facing problems. Treating translations as code completely leaves out translators, who in most cases can not code.

I am working on making localization effortless via dev tools and a dedicated editor for translators. Both pillars have one common denominator: translations as data in source code. Treating translations as code would break that denominator and prevent a coherent end-to-end solution.

Take a look at the repository https://github.com/inlang/inlang. The IDE extension already solves type safety, inline annotations, and (partially) extraction of hardcoded strings.
dang I want some of whatever medication you're on that lets you maintain this level of even-handed calmness.
The chance of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis increases as you gather more data. Put more simply, finding something that differs "significantly" from some distribution becomes easier as you gather more data. Imagine having only 3 psychology student in a study, the required effect size has to be huge for the test to say that it is significantly different.

However, the approach taken by CERN is of course right. They find a result at a certain significance level and then collect more data to verify the result. As long as there aren’t thousands of simultaneous verifications running, this approach is sound. Obviously yes, physicist’s know what they’re doing.

Having said that, please don’t read this comment as me approving of frequentists statistics. Bayesian or cross-validations are way easier to interpret where possible.
Link to the actual bill, since any summary (including mine below) will inevitably be skewed to the point of misrepresentation: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/233/BillText/er/P... [PDF]

FWIW it seems perfectly fine to me. Opposition based on assumed intent of DeSantis (or even if he explicitly states his intent) is meritless in the face of the actual text of the bill, which when read properly actually enables the very things conservatives are worried about (CRT, Marxism, etc), so long as it isn't the only thing taught. It also clarifies how lecture recordings can be used and explicitly prevents such recordings from being published without the lecturer's permission. Seems reasonable.

I'm sure someone will chime in and say something like "but that means flat earth and creationism and gay conversion theory and holocaust denial and [insert your favorite terrible thing] will be taught!"

Maybe. Probably not, but maybe. And if they are, they will be taught alongside the oppositional stance. Surely the correct stance will win out, right? After all, the only reason flat earth or holocaust denial et al. gain any traction is because people are not properly taught the truth and are instead stuck in their own self-reinforcing bubble. And if the truth is not convincing for those people, either there's a failure in teaching or there's some other irreconcilable barrier that won't be fixed by "just don't bring it up".

If you're still not convinced, consider the idea of systemic racism: how do you teach that this exists without teaching that there are in fact racists and explaining what those racists believe? You must always present the other side to some extent in order to explain why they are wrong.

This bill does not require that every belief or concept be taught as true; it simply requires that the other belief or concept not be entirely omitted from discussion.
