Reminds of me this video I watched years ago by Veritaseum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38gVZgE39K8

Really interesting, again super small sample size. It's just his girlfriend and him testing out who's more attractive using a lab experiment. I don't believe they were able to conclusively answer the question, even with the mosquitoes biting one person more than the other.

I had been thinking for a while, mosquitoes prefer certain smells, and use their olfactory senses to find targets.

Anecdotally, like others on the thread, I get bitten all the time in areas with mosquitoes, where my parents, others never did.
Humans are built with a solution to violence, along with every other animal on the planet. Actively seeking violence and defending yourself are very different thinks and since this is instinctual, I find it very implausible you can convince all 7 billion of us to not fight each other. This is why you end up with violence as a deterrent.

Safe beams don’t have much more power than the sun so don’t seem too economical compared to normal solar panels. And most niche applications need greater power density to benefit

OP said they already have a working system. How well it works remains to be seen, until it's publicly available.

..and it's vulnerable to climate change, not to mention war and social unrest.
Golden ratios are mathematically useful for non-interference. Phi (golden ratio) is sometimes referred to as the “most” irrational number.” Two waves with that ratio will never have their peaks and troughs line up. Ie, they don’t synchronize. Contrast that with a harmonic or integer ratio. Neuroscientists have found high and low theta waves (for instance) that are separated by a phi ratio — they propose that this ratio prevents interference and allows multiplexing.

Somehow, these pulses helped prevent coupling to the environment?
The current trend in tech is Twitter/Google style virtue signalling + activism style software development.

I remember reading about an incident that happened couple of years back. A new grad SWE at FAANG wanted his colleague to espouse a particular political trend. His colleague just wanted nothing to do with it and just focus on doing his work and get the pay-check. tldr; that SWE got fired for publicly trying to call out his coworker on this issue.

Morality and political correctness is baked into the process now.
Very interesting article – I knew some of the books and articles, but I did not know about his (non-)position in French academia.
That was a really good summary. It is easy to pass on the work of Latour in Anglo-American contexts since he works most ardent supporters come from departments that have a bit of an inferiority complex about their standards of scholarship, but this article does a really good job of framing his work in a more personal context of his life.

It's mostly about being able to profit from these models. Some investors sank quite a bit of money in salaries and compute equipment manufacture/purchase/rental.
> You don't get to hold me accountable for others failures. If you're hazy on the definition of the term "leftist" I expect google could help you with that.

I'm holding you accountable for self describing yourself as an "actual leftist," which obviously means your idea of what it leftist means deviates from what is the commonly held belief. The person you initially responded to said that all the sources the person listed was left-wing. You obviously took issue with that but you failed to explain why they're not, you simply used it as an excuse to lazily jab at the right-wingers.

If you don't want people to hold you accountable for your words, don't make asinine comments completely devoid of substance.
It is wise and responsible for people to exercise caution for the impact of their work. When someone is impatient with you acting responsibility, you need not join them in their folly.
Yes, and it's very difficult to find punch card operators nowadays as well. Technology moves on, you have to move or get left behind.
That is the perception (an incorrect one) that alot of devs have, even though they have never done, and refuse to do any sysadmin work.

It was never, has never, and could never be about "power". I have always been a generalist, with one foot in both roles of dev and admin.

I am very good dev in 3 programming languages (not including scripting languages like powershell and bash.. php, C#, and JS are my strengths), and passable in about 8 or 9 others (go, python, learning rust now, etc). I hold multiple certs and years of experience in sysadmin roles.

There are very few of us out there, people with extensive experience in both. I can tell you, once you have seen both sides of that wall you come way with the clear view that neither understand the other.

DevOps was proposed as a solution to that, and if Devops would have been implemented as a Management sytle not a role it might have accomplished that goal but sadly most orgs just eliminated the valuable perspective of sysadmins, and as you said "outsourcing IT to someone who can't sass back or harass us about our deployment plans" which from my experience many devs need to have their plans pushed back on because often time they are widely inefficient, insecure, ill thought out, and expensive

I have to wonder, if many of the cyber security incidents we have seen over the last 10 years could be avoided if Dev's lost the chip on their shoulder, and listened to the sysadmin more, instead of just rejecting their point of view as a "god complex" like you seem to
> if you trained with lots of data you’re not supposed to use (no consent), you probably should be forced to release things

That doesn't sound right at all. If you've used my work with no consent, it would seem that shutting you down would be the next legal and ethical step.
"The Glass Giant of Palomar" was an early history of the Observatory that told the story of Palomar and the earlier observatories built by George Ellery Hale. Important book for a young kid in kindling an interest in astronomy and science in general.

Visiting the Mount Wilson Observatory and seeing the plate steel and riveted construction of the 100 inch telescope and seeing the Palomar telescope with its smooth welded construction illustrated for me the rapid advance in technology during that period.
"If having people on-call 24/7 seems normal to management, they need to step up and address the bugs, failures, downtime, and the lack of redundancy, monitoring, and automation."

"I would strive to get the support burden down to a very occasional alert on my phone that I can respond to from my phone."

It's possible we're working on different kinds (or scales) of software or differently sized organizations – there are no human customers actually "calling," nor can you typically resolve true production incidents (let alone root cause them or estimate impact) from a phone.

That doesn't full show the degree to which those institutions reflect the Jewish view of the world, but it gives one an idea.

In a sense all of the above were indeed WASP institutions: Those evil, evil WASPs created them, funded them, and built them into fine schools. But that part of their history is over and now they are controlled by a different group with a different purpose.

> We are building a micro-economy without banks, without advertisers, and without any government

But with government funding?
In my experience infosec is more preventative; writing secure code reused by a larger org, reviewing designs from non security teams, maintaining automated monitoring and yes when it happens responding to incidents. Rarely just fixing code issues!

Doesn't sound so bad as I write it and remember it... :)
> If governments dictate when media outlets receive funding and how much, then it is unlikely that said media companies will be overly critical of the government

Often public broadcasters are set up where their funding doesn't come from taxes but from a license fee that they collect themselves.

What I've seen in these countries is that public broadcasters still have a bias (due to journalists generally coming from the same background/education/maybe even geography) but it's not strictly aligned with whoever is currently in the government.
Ah, neat. I've been wondering if we had good enough low-latency audio for this sort of thing for a while now...
The main difference is that eglot doesn't support the complete set of LSP features yet, but those it does support are better integrated with the existing Emacs codebase and featureset. It's very much a work in progress, not aiming to be a self-contained thing like lsp-mode.

Probably, the tool you're using for VCS already does that. Both Github and Gitlab supports merge/pull-requests and comments. Doesn't these tools achieve what you're trying to accompish?
Yea me too. I got combustive when I read what i thought were outrageous op-eds in those two and just canceled them. One from left and one from right wing opinions.

Even when I read unbiased information/data driven articles there’s still a bias - someone chose this information for me to digest. Did they choose it to influence how i feel? Maybe just because they think the most people will click on it so it’s published? Anyways, I’m not entitled to “truth” so I guess I have to keep reading/doom scrolling.

You might have GPU acceleration turned off in your browser settings.
I really like the IoT/smarthouse concept, but exactly due to security issues, I'm pretty much limited to esp8266/32 devices with tasmota support, and zigbee devices with zigbee2mqtt support, just to keep the crap off the internet, and only connected to my HomeAssistant server.

It kinda sucks, since it's impossible to find some stuff, because it only supports some cloud-based tech, but there are more and more devices appearing that fulfill a need and can work entirely within my home network.
So let’s bring this out of the theoretical realm and into reality. How does this apply to the current Ukraine / Russian war? What is the better way to thwart Russias illegal advance?

The people that didn't agree with the "DAO fork" continued on the original chain. None of them were forced to follow the majority. This is a huge important difference.
You're not really responding to my argument? I was talking about an idle desktop where neither CPU nor GPU perform any work since they don't have to redraw anything. With neither performing work pure software-rendering should let the GPU be turned off rather than put into sleep. Granted, those are mobile chips so the power-management probably is good and there isn't much of a difference between off and deep idle.
The fact that it is their work kinda give them the right to decide how they want it to be used!
I was planning to start learning GO, I'd be definitely interested to learn from your project :)

Online specs says T610 idles at ~12W and full load at ~20W [1], but I haven't personally measure it myself. I'll try measuring it myself when I got a chance later.

If it's really idle at 12W, it means the electricity cost is about $12/year. For comparison, I think pi4 averages at ~5W.

An exploiter's bug bounty on a still functioning yield farm that flash loaned itself, getting frontrun by a MEV searcher because the exploiter didn't hide their transaction directly with a block producer via bribery? That sentence wasn't possible a year ago. And now we all know not to design a smart contract powering a farm that way. I don't view that as failure. A regulatory sandbox would have deliberated for 5 years before allowing a launch and still never found that problem, resulting in a following multi year pause, committee report, and disbanding. I view this much faster higher iterative version as a win.

> Buildings don’t cross borders

I'm not sure that's factual, but even if it were, built objects certainly do.
Not really. Guns serve one purpose, really: shooting at things, while possibly killing it (ignoring gun ranges). It’s why they were created in the first place. That’s why the “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” argument is bogus. “Information,” OTOH, doesn’t serve any particular purpose. On its own, information is just bits; it’s how those bits are used that matters. Those bits can be arranged to say “Hello, world”, but they can also be arranged to make the Stuxnet virus.

Good bait, but the linked article seems to mostly be along the lines of "Russians securing works of art for a potentially sinister purpose".
>Proximity to the university system breeds pro-EU attitudes because the EU enforces a similar ideology in Europe to that found in universities

That's an interesting claim - do you have evidence to justify it?

Not disagreeing entirely that degree holders benefit from EU membership based on the type of work degrees lead to, but in reality so do people without degrees if the economy is growing. There's really no economic argument for leaving the EU; it seems like it was purely ideological.

This is just beyond obtuse.
More people having access will mean more people who are untrustworthy having access, which means more malicious action. (Unless you want to setup some toy scenario where the only bad faith actors people on the planet are biochemistry researchers).

If something is dangerous, that does not justify making it worse.
That you even express the problem like this shows an impressive ammount of bias. By calling them dangerous people you are actually implying malice. What makes you believe people with access to biomedical tech are inherently more malicious than the populace? What makes you believe there aren't far more malicious people who do not yet have access to such tech?

I think this is just fear of the unknown at work. Biomedical knowledge is complicated and requires effort to learn therefore most consider it a known unknown therefore something to be feared. Some people do have such knowledge therefore they are to be feared because who knows what nefarious intentions they have and what conspiracies they are part of. Therefore they are dangerous people using dangerous tech.

Were the physicists who discovered how to split the atom also dangerous people?

>so why should I leave dangerous tech only in the hands of dangerous people?

because handing it to everyone doesn't make things better? I don't like that Putin has nukes, but it's much better than Putin and every offshoot of Al-Qaeda having nukes.

Civilization ending tech in the hands of powerful actors is usually subject to some form of rational calculus. Having it in the hands of everyone means basically it's game over. For a lot of dangeorus technologies there is no 'vaccine' (in time).

> It makes me wonder when tech folks suddenly decided to become the morality police

Is it about "morality policing", or is it about avoiding bad PR? I find it fascinating how certain people want to ignore the social pressure that companies are under to avoid having their products be misused. Do you really think Google or whoever really wants the PR disaster of people releasing computer generated dick pics with their software? (Or whatever nonsense people will get up to.. I'm choosing a relatively tame example obviously.)

They learned a thing or two from the public teaching Microsoft's chat bot how to swear and be a Nazi. I for one am not surprised and don't blame the companies in this iteration for being more than a little extra careful how the public gets to use their products and demos. I'm sure they have zero problem with whatever people do with their open source re-implementations. It's not about morality -- stopping people from doing certain things. It's about PR -- stopping people from doing certain things with their product. Because who needs the ethical and legal disaster just waiting around the corner of automatic celebrity and political deep fakes, etc. I just find it weird that people (like OP) pretend not to understand this, as it seems rather obvious and unsurprising to me.
