Terms like 'turkic' really only serve to confuse discussions like these. If you're asking whether population continuity with modern day populations in the area is a reasonable and common null hypothesis, the answer is yes. There are cases where continuity is extremely limited (e.g. pre-Columbian native Americans -> modern rural American populations), but those sorts of near-complete replacement events are historically rare. More commonly it's a broad mixture of the admixture, social recombination, and ethnogenesis that's constantly happening anyway.

This is all separate from saying that historical people would have identified as 'Turkic' or 'Russian' etc, or even understood anything resembling modern definitions for those terms.

One of the hallmarks of colonial archaeology was conflating these things and throwing in a touch of racism for good measure. They'd walk up to a Mayan site (ex.) and say "well these modern primitives couldn't have invented the techniques for this fine stone- and metalworking on their own, therefore a group of now-extinct people who suspiciously resemble Europeans must have either done it directly and been replaced or taught these barbarians how to do it". Thor Heyerdahl of kon-tiki fame is a prominent example that you may have heard of, but this was a thing that permeates a lot of old archaeology/anthropology. There are even terms for this like diffusionism and hyperdiffusionism. Being called a diffusionist is basically one step above being accused of plagiarism for modern archaeologists, which should give you an idea of how badly such theories are regarded today.
Te point OP is making is that being born without tusks is just a random chance, not a response to anything but as a result of this random chance, this elephant has a higher chance of living longer and having more babies resulting in higher chance of the "tuskless gene" being passed on to future generations. The distinction is important to understand evolution correctly. A lot of evolution deniers have a problem with the "intelligent response" aspect of it which doesn't actually exist.

Graham is often reporting (presenting observations) of facts that are overlooked by the mainstream. He has spent a lot of time and money and travelled-widely gathering those observations. As with any hypothesis, people will disagree with the interpretation of the observations. That's how the game works, and how science advances one funeral at a time. (Plate tectonics for one fine old example. The YDIH for a much more recent other.)

Sometimes evidence is ignored because it can't be right. (For example, no skeletons 7 or more feet tall have been found in North America ... 'those newspaper stories, all hokum'. Or, anyone who radio-dates bones at human sites in NA that are 24k or 130k or 200k years old has simply made a mistake. 'Incompetent. Take away their funding.' Or, it's our consensual opinion that it's most likely that the natives killed all the megafauna for food.)

Graham (for one) has a real knack for looking at a lot of ignored evidence, pulling those pieces together and presenting hypotheses that often pass the Occam test. I've learned a lot reading of his discoveries. As to the 'truth' of it all, time will tell (or the coverups go on). Funny seeing the insiders getting all riled.
But born without tusks may be deemed "good" for the survivability of the elephants in the said environment. No tusks = no ivory, therefore minimising the incentive for poachers to hunt them.

My understanding of evolution is the ability to adapt and adjust to the ever-changing environment over multiple generations, and if we treat ivory poaching as an environmental danger, it makes sense for tuskless elephants to pass their genes on.

That's not true. If you have offspring, they have some of your genes. They don't have to be fertile.

For a better example, take humans: If you have a child and they grow up to be infertile, you have still passed on your genes. If they choose not to have children - even if fertile - you've still passed on your genes. Your particular mix of genes just won't live on in subsequent generations. Grandchildren aren't a requirement for you to simply pass on genes.

Why is it not possible to build a competitor to Chromecast? Sure, you'd need to manufacture and sell a hardware dongle*, but that's not impossible. On the screencasting front, it's possible to screen-grab from Android and send that so you could mimic built-in functionality (not sure about iOS, but if Chromecast can do it then other apps can do it). Casting from media apps would require tie-ins with media companies, which again is tricky, but they're generally a bit pissed with Google so would likely welcome a competitor to the space. You'd have no chance of getting Youtube on board, but then you've got a decent case for anti-competitive behaviour, which EU and US systems are circling Google for anyway.

I'm not saying it would be easy, but it's certainly not impossible, with the right business model and business and political environment.

Absurd. Making generalizations for members in a group is core to being a human, for better or worse.

I understand you saying this is largely a software problem. Taking this at face value, I trust no other transportation related company but Tesla to deliver the best possible software for route planning (or anything really given they're just as big a software company as are in hardware -- see AI day presentations to get a feel of just how large a software effort they're running) if that is indeed a barrier to companies putting orders in for the Semi. I may even have heard them mention something about that in the presentation.
It would have been funny, were it not that society is utterly dependent on the outcomes of the hard sciences. Chemistry, Physics, Math, they all made life possible. WorldWars have been fought for nought, cause the reason ceased to be once science unlocked new "rocks" to food pathways. Machines and Automation freed us from physical labour.

Let universities be whatever they want, but its vital to keep the economic core of our society protected from this shenanigans at all cost. You cant eat crypto, you cant avoid civil wars and conflict with performative dance and ritualised social performances. You cant make fertilizer without power plants. This part of the ivory tower is absolutly and riduclously important. You can burn wallstreet to the ground and another one would rise in its place, but you cant recover from destroying the economic sun of a modern society.

These examples all say the same thing. You have outgrown that company. I bet you've been there for more than 2 years, hm? 2 years is the average period at a company these days unless you're aiming for management.

My advice: leave it alone. Focus on yourself and your code, improve your skills, and look for another role in another company. You'll be happier in the long run for the only reason that you can only change your behaviour. You cannot help others, I've got the scars and burns to prove it.
I can't tell if this is satire...

Anyone who's visited TSMC can tell you drive unit failures have been happening before 100k miles let alone a entire million.

People have had back to back drive unit failures on new cars.

I recall a MS owner getting the run around about an impending DU failure (which manifests as a whine under acceleration) as their warranty was about to expire, only to have it fail out of warranty.

Now people are trying to DIY DU whine on cars that haven't even made it to 100k.

Running a DU in a simulated 1 million mile test is nowhere near the same as actually lasting 1 million miles in the real world over as many years as that would take.

> Te point OP is making is that being born without tusks is just a random chance

Yes. That's how evolution works. Your genes are randomized during life/mating.

Due to selection pressure one variation is favored over the other. That's evolution.

So in evolutionary response to poachers elephants evolve no tusks.
> I see this all or nothing argument when discussing new stuff.

When did it become popular to start selling beta products? Did it begin when we all bought into social media?

Apple produced a computer, music player and phone that were a polished step up from what was happening before: build-your-own computer, music with insufficient storage and crap interfaces, and blackberries that only targeted business people.

Underpromise and overimpress me. Enough with this overpromising-because-have-to as if that's the only way to innovate or get investment. It isn't the only way and I wish investors would do a little more due diligence to get behind innovators who know what they are doing, not just throwing money at cool things saying they'll be ready by the end of the year over an 8 year period.

That’s the exact same things you could hear 10 years ago regarding electric cats. And now every single car company is panicking to adopt electric, and many countries are going to make burners illegal.

So give out some years. Production capacity isn’t that high anyway, mostly because of battery production capacities.
False bans do happen. Even VAC, which isn't known for banning willy-nilly, will sometimes remove bans because they do make mistakes. Many other anti-cheats have had more or less prominent issues with false bans, for example GTA Online as well as other games had multiple incidents where they banned people using software like Afterburner/RTSS (and subsequently unbanned them). GTA even had exploits which allowed other cheaters to ban other players.

The sentiment of your comment remains popular in gaming circles. But as software people on hacker news, doesn't it seem rather obvious that complex software like anti-cheats embedded in hugely complex software like games will have bugs? Add many people overclocking their computers to the brink of instability and silent corruption into the mix and you will have issues. (VAC must've kicked me dozens of times for failing game integrity checks because of this - now imagine if that's a ban, like Activision does. A checksum failure on a gaming PC hardly proves cheating beyond even a passing doubt)
Whether they are ready or not, they'll have to deal with competitors that won't have to worry about diesel fuel expenses. Tesla is not going to have any demand issues here. If this thing works as advertised (and that seems to be the case) and they ramp up production to 50k vehicles/year over the next two years, there are going to be two classes of truck companies: those driving electrically and those who don't. My guess is that when the dust settles, there won't be a huge market for ice trucks in a few years. Unlike cars, trucking companies operate based on financials. With razor thin margins, decimating fuel cost is going to matter a lot.
Without knowing anything about the general or scientific use of those terms, just by looking at the words, I think it is fine the way the title is worded.

What is the actor here that responds? It is the process of evolution, in the same way you could say the climate reacts to a change in solar activity. So the process of evolution reacts to a change in the ecological system - more poachers than before - by changing the elephants to no longer having tusks. And the mechanism that achieves this change is that the elephants with the genetic variation making them tusk-less have a higher chance of passing on the genes because they are less likely to be killed by poachers.
That’s my metric as well and I feel all this discourse around putting “unicorns” on a pedestal disingenuous.

There are defensible arguments for secure boot, but they all thoroughly miss the larger picture in my opinion.

For the live area, do desktop APIs support something like the HTML 'role' attribute? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/A...

As an app developer it would be helpful to be able to denote the live region in your example a 'status' (the user can read it but it's not read automatically on change).

And there may be other times when the same area should be an 'alert' (changes trigger 'assertive' messages to inform the user that their change results in an error or issue).

Hard disagree on the storytelling abilities at least with the current capabilities I found the storytelling to be extremely predictable, linear and not really able to come up with unusual or interesting plots...

Which makes sense considering that these large scale language models represent the diluted sum of human generated content and most humans are by definition relatively mundane, as are the works that they produce.

Now I won't argue that the stories that these large scale language models can produce are highly cohesive, they're just not very interesting or compelling in any form.
What Google also misses in terms of B2B is the non-technical side of keeping your clients close (or, more to the point in Google's case, to get said clients in the first place).

Google somehow still thinks that business clients will flock to them just because they're called Google. That's not how it works, you have to keep close personal relationships with said business clients. If that means having a heavy-alcohol infused night out in some expensive resort with the CTOs (or the CTO-equivalents) of some of those potential clients then that's the way do it. To say nothing of the government clients, who come with their own idiosyncrasies.

I gave up thinking about working live of SSDs.

While I know that SSDs will die eventually, this has yet to happen to any of my private drives.

Some of my drives are over 10 years old and still work something unheard of when it comes to rotating rust.

And those are regularly used too some with ridiculous uptimes measured in years.

The drives I replaced where changed for capacity reasons and not wear.

Our company runs a bunch of servers with SSDs and even there they hold up pretty well. The last error was caused by a faulty controller some months ago.
Having community hosted servers with their own moderation was just so much better. Sure, the moderation level would vary from server to server, sometimes with immature admins giving out bans for no reasons, but you would ultimately find your way to servers that match you the best. And often, people would become regulars, finding the same players on the same servers, that was the best aspect of online gaming, finding a community.

Games stopping to provide self-hosted servers is also what made LAN parties increasingly difficult. Having to rent game servers, provide decent bandwidth and not being able to run third party tools (for recording scores or set modifiers) made it impossible to use modern games in a 50 people LAN party with a low budget.
