Huh? I've never been so saddened by a comment actually.

"We have a video of you at the scene of the crime with indisputable evidence. It doesn't matter what you say, there are 10 policemen waiting to testify against you. It's your word against theirs. If you don't take this deal you will go away for life."

You don't have money for a lawyer and you have no idea if there are actually 10 policemen waiting to testify against you. Do you take the chance? How is that not problematic?
They only have to look into how Ada has figured it out for 40 years ago.
To give you some extra context, because I sympathize the OP's message, while acknowledging the wording is disrespectful - growing up in a religious environment you are taught that certain things are true, and can encounter strong opposition to basic questioning. This can lead to a state where eing exposed to an alternative truth is exciting and interesting.
Was it Derek John de Solla Price who showed that WWII, far from being a time of scientific breakthroughs, had permanently slowed the climb of science (measured by published papers)? Very fine technical work took place, but at the expense of basic science which simply halted.

Maybe we're seeing something of the same thing as our best minds have been occupied for decades (yes, really - some saw further) with the practical problem of climate change. With good results; cheap solar panels, practical electric cars. Elon Musk, way back when had a physics degree but didn't dream of solving the paradoxes and problems of quantum mechanics; even then he was preoccupied with creating electric cars to tackle climate change. It's no wonder the very best minds don't go in for basic research in a world (legitimately) screaming emergency.
The article links to a paper which estimates how much more effective you get at reading the more knowledge you have. It shows that for most ages you don't improve in this way, but for older ages you do.

Then it says for the "best case" that "adults" takes years to get twice as effective at reading.

If you don't believe this then it means you think it takes adults less than a year to get twice as effective? If effectiveness doubles each year then that would mean by the time a 25 year old becomes 65 that they're 1 million times as effective at reading than when they were 25. Does that sound reasonable to you?
No, I use it regularly. Seems like unlinking after an extended period of inactivity would be a good thing, though.
Oh I see, I guess us French are very heavily exposed to the NYC mirror ourselves so for us that's "american" when for you there s a clear distinction with how a North Carolinian or a Californian would dream up a French fantasy?

Or social classes would fantasise differently ?

I guess it s not too deeply explored, how a bias towards France develop across different layers of foreigners ahah

But it s obvious the reverse is true: coming from Normandy my family accepted Iraq a lot more than the rest of France and felt even more betrayed when it turned out to be a lie for instance.

Sadly the truth is more mundane than all those fantasies: we have an approximately similar distribution of morons, fascist, religious, generous, competent, savant and ignorant people and I guess bar historical deviations we're pretty much the same. I live in China myself and I cant really find a structural difference in people themselves.

See also Lapce, an editor also written in Rust although it's trying to compete more with VSCode rather than Vim.

Also, RIP OniVim 2, it was great having been written in a similarly fast ReasonML/OCaml but the creator ran out of funding and had to get a job. A shame, it even had compatibility with VSCode extensions.
How much of that is due to how complex tickling someone is? Any repetition and you'll get used to it. Theres also that study proving even rats can get tickled. Which gets me wondering if crustaceans can get tickled as well.
> Has somebody already done that perhaps?

Yes. And there have been several examples of small or independent developers cobbling together VM applications based on Apple’s frameworks in the last year or so. I do my know how many will actually survive but there is quite a bit of developer interest.

> Is there a reasonable alternative to VirtualBox/WMWare using the optimal way to run a VM on a Mac? I don't mind paying if it's worth it.

I don’t know about VMWare, but Parallels does this (for money, I am not a fan of their subscription model). AFAIK the best free equivalent is UTM, which can use either Apple’s frameworks or QEMU: https://mac.getutm.app/ .

I’m really confused by this data. First of all, are they testing the efficacy of colonoscopy or the efficacy of inviting people to colonoscopy?

And then how is the former group’s reduction in deaths 50% and the latter group’s is about 0%?

I fully expect Helix to replace Vim, Neovim, and Kakoune for most users in the long run.

Helix is built from the ground up around Tree-Sitter and LSP. This means you get the best syntax highlighting available, and IDE-like functionality, with zero configuration required other than installing the appropriate language server.

Those are by far the most important features for a text editor to have, and crucially, they are fully integrated into Helix, but are an afterthought in (Neo)vim and Kakoune. The quality difference is obvious the moment you try it side by side. Nothing else really matters. Vim's and Kakoune's syntax highlighting is terrible, and while Neovim can now use Tree-Sitter as well, there always seem to be some additional hoops the user needs to jump through in order to get it to work. Not so with Helix.

Regrettably, Helix has inherited Vim's worst design flaw, namely being unusable with non-English keyboard layouts, but all other Vim derivatives share this flaw as well so I don't see that stopping Helix from steamrolling the competition once it matures and the word spreads.
we might have already reached peak human influencer - the (inevitable) scandals that come from living a human life is the single biggest risk factor in hiring a celebrity to promote your goods / service.

I think ai stuff will have a similar wonder when it's capabilities for improvising things becomes deeper. The only difference is that now some people are understably scared of the implications of such impacts relative to the internet's growth which was very optimistic.
This is just nostalgia talking. The cutting edge of things is magical but it's also janky, so look for relatively janky new things right now. PC VR you could probably throw into that category; there's magical experiences to be had, but it involves a fair amount of effort, and there's no shortage of jank.

Along similar lines, the Steam Deck and similar mobile gaming PC's are pretty neat, but again, kinda janky.
This is not really my area of expertise so perhaps explains my confusion.

I'm not actually getting the domain was taken down reasoning, I mean I understand it was taken down but

"but after using an online NS lookup tool, I realized that the DNS records were deleted some time last night. This must have been in response to the next stage having been downloaded. It’s unclear whether deleting the DNS records was automatic or manual."

so is the assumption here that they were trying to get just one person, or actually this specific person CuckooExe?

Could it be that the deletion happened because

1. they know infection happened because data sent ?

2. Next stage of infection not happen (whatever that would be) therefore it follows infection detected.

3. delete dns on infection detected?

or am I overthinking this?
The simplifying assumption around units of information and the graphs are just to visualise the main point.

Effectiveness of spaced repetition scales really fast / exponentially whereas other learning methods don't scale like that - do you agree?

If so then over the long-run spaced repetition is always going to be extremely efficient relative to other learning methods.

The problem is self-hosting is too difficult for the average person. But that doesn't have to be the case. Self-hosting shouldn't be any more complicated or less secure than installing an app on your phone. You shouldn't need to understand DNS, TLS, NAT, HTTP, TCP, UDP, etc, etc. Domain names shouldn't be any more difficult to buy or use than phone numbers. Apps should be sandboxed in KVM/WHPX/HVP-accelerated virtual machines that run on Windows, Mac, and Linux and are secure-by-default. Tunneling out to the public internet should be a quick OAuth flow that lets you connect a given app to a specific subdomain, with TLS certs automatically obtained from Let's Encrypt and stored locally for end-to-end encryption.

This is just 20/20 hindsight. To most people back then it didn't feel completely revolutionary, because it was still niche and pretty limited in what computers could do.

VR might be revolutionary, but we won't know until after several more years, when it's either gone mainstream or clearly stalled out. I know there are people who will immediately nitpick that VR isn't revolutionary, which is ironic because this happens any time there's a nascent potentially revolutionary technology about: people nitpicking that it's not good enough yet, or arguing that it's not compelling (which is often just because it's not mature enough yet).

You don't know if anything's actually revolutionary until it's mature and saturated the market, but by then it's not really new anymore, so it's easy to dismiss it as old hat. By the time smartphones had percolated down to the point where even working-class randos had them, we'd had iOS and Android for several years, and of course earlier forms of smartphones for several years or more before those.

For a long time they were dismissed as mere "toys for techies" with limited real-world application for the regular person. Which was true, until it suddenly wasn't.

>However we still don't feed everyone from small household gardens.

If I had to survive solely on crops I've grown myself I would perish. Putting aside economies of scale, I am lucky if I manage to grow a couple of decent size tomatoes or a decent carrot (singular). I'd be lucky to grow enough food for a day or week, let alone a season.

Partly this is because I live in an area with bad soil (too close to beach, sandy), and partly because I just seem to be a well meaning plant killer. Would be nice though. I have had some success with growing seedlings in a mini greenhouse, but as soon as they're out in the yard in bigger pots they start to fail.

They're doing an intention to treat analysis, which can be a bit confusing, but statistically makes sense and is the gold standard for clinical trials.

You're basicall saying "our randomization at the beginning of the trial is key to avoid biases, so we can't reassign people from the treatment group to the other group, even if they practically don't get the treatment". The reason is if you allow people to switch, your assignment is no longer random. People who avoid the treatment may have different health properties than the ones who don't.

In essence, you need your trial to be robust and large enough that a few people not getting the treatment don't matter.

Most people (in my experience) can tickle themselves by touching the roof of their mouth - puts a spanner into some self-tickling theories.

> Feet rank the [most ticklish].

No way. The palate (roof of mouth) is just insanely ticklish. Be careful if doing it to a friend, because a reaction can be to bite. I would be pretty sure there are other places more ticklish than feet, but it is hard to do random sampling.

If inequality goes beyond skill inequality then it is a sign of an inefficient market. So far every person or blog I have seen that says inequality is good has completely ignored or even wants artificial inefficiencies to maintain that inequality. But then they do a post rationalization and say that inequality is good because it reflects skill differences.

Inequality matters because 90% of it is pointless.

I hope this doesn't come off as flippant: I thought your comment was sarcastic at first.

TCP and IP exist as part of the Internet stack. The OSI stack consisted of an alternate set of standards (like LAPB and X.400) which were not widely adopted.
