Hear hear. I often dream of having a home setup with everything but my web browser blocked from accessing the internet, and exception granted as they are necessary.

Alas, that's a pipe dream because of the way things work now, and I don't necessarily want to inflict a luddite lifestyle on my wife and children. But the allure is still there to setup some crackpot scheme that will keep me from idly pulling out my phone to check whatever just because my brain is idle for 5 seconds.

I'm not going to stop using telnet to check ports when I just need to do a one-off, ad-hoc test directly from the command line. Too much muscle memory acquired around typing "telnet $host $port". But I DO use nc instead when writing scripts that need to test ports.

I borrowed the nc approach from one of the answers on this SO thread, which has some moderately interesting stuff in it:

We really need a better system for knowing the authenticity of these settlement web sites.

Right now we get some special web site that's like FooCompanyBarIssueSettlement.com, which is descriptive, but how do we know it's not some phishing site?

The site itself always says it's the official site and gives a case number, but there's nothing stopping a fake site from doing those things.

Right now we have to rely on it being reported in the media[1]. That's better than nothing, but why can't the courts (that approve the settlement) have a web site that links to these? Or, as a condition of the settlement, require the company (Facebook in this case) to link to it?

I know lawyers are good at law, not IT security, and I realize this is how it's typically done, but it's still a very poor practice, and it needs to change.

(In this particular case, it's also ironic because the case is about poor practices regarding data security!)

Something I've struggled with and have seen often is engineer-types drawn to game development who lose themselves in code, tech, and getting it "just right." It's super important to be clear about _why_ you makes games. If it's just to blow steam after a long day slinging JavaScript or to dabble with new technology be honest about it -- you'll spare yourself pain later. If you really want to _make_ games remember the aphorism, "real artists ship."

On the subject of scope, I think it's helpful to remember the Mythical Man Month. If the game you're cribbing took four experts two years to create, that's eight person-years. Can one person hope to make something of that scale? There are examples, but few have that level of resolve.

Don't hand wave away things by saying "modern game engines." People were brilliant back then, and expectations were lower in some respects.
Oh to clarify, I don't think it's all hype! But, in my opinion, there is plenty of breathless hype (much like any other new development).

I assume all fires in EVs are electrical.

I doubt there are very many true electrical fires in ICE vehicles. Even if there is an arc, you need some kind of fuel to get a real fire going. Sometimes that might be the rubber/plastic components. But I feel like it's more likely to just be the ignition source for a fuel leak.
>>Applied to human politics in the real world, 70% of the population can't benefit from harming the other 30% - there's not enough "meat" to go around. But 1% can benefit greatly from harming 99%. So in practice, democratic accountability puts bounds on how shitty governments can get.

I think we are seeing today that is not true. You seem to be under the same false narrative that the rich do not "pay their fair share", and the poor pay more than their far share when in reality nationally more than 50% of the population pays zero income tax, and 60-70% get more direct government transfer payments than they pay into the system

The people have been continually voting for more and more government largess funded mainly by debt, and by continually moving the goal posts on what "fair share" is and who should be paying that "fair share"

>>Free speech is not a pesky barrier that democracy tries to get around.... And for the record: yes Canada and the EU have free speech. Maybe not as extremely guarded as America does, but it's still there.

Canada and the EU disprove your statement, when people are arrested / convicted because their dog raised a paw on video, or because someone was offended by a tweet or have compelled speech laws to force one person refer to another person based on their declared preference... you can not claim to have free speech. Sorry no the EU nor Canada has free speech today.

>>I'm not going to get involved in the gun debate aside from pointing out that guns are not a backstop against abuses of government power. You have a pistol, they have nuclear weapons.

I guess UKR should just give up to Russia then if that is your logic.

In reality you can not control a nation or its people with tanks, jets, battleships and drones. The fighter jets can not kick down your door at 3AM to search your home... The military can not maintain a police state, and enslave a nation. Those weapons are for decimating, flattening, glassing large area's.

The government would not want to kill all of this people and blow up its own infrastructure. These are the very things they need to be tyrannical in the first place.

Remember it took 20 years, 4 presidents, trillions of dollars, and plenty of tanks, jets, and military arms to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.... All the nuclear weapons in the US arsenal amounted to nothing.

So it is good you refrain from the gun debate as you would lose.

>While I'm not going to argue that paying tax is a moral imperative

not only is it not a moral imperative, Income based taxation is actively immoral and unethical.

Some types of Taxation could be ethical such as a Single Tax system on natural resources. Income based taxation should be viewed for what is it, theft of labor, something I assume you accuse the evil rich of doing
Section 174 intro: "In general in the case of a taxpayer’s specified research or experimental expenditures for any taxable year".

Note limiting phrase.

Section 174 later: "For purposes of this section, the term “specified research or experimental expenditures” means, with respect to any taxable year, research or experimental expenditures which are paid or incurred by the taxpayer during such taxable year in connection with the taxpayer’s trade or business."

Note the "in connection with the taxpayer's trade or business" and look up the definition of that phrasing versus "carrying on" business and compare to Section 162. (e.g., Snow v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 416 U.S. 500 (1974), Cantor v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 998 F.2d 1514 (1993), Scoggins v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 46 F.3d 950 (1995))

Section 174 later: "For purposes of this section, any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure."

Note the limiting phrase.

Ultimately we need guidance from the Service but the above are (possibly aggressive) readings some CPAs are taking.

Nowhere in the paper does it say that individual spiders are varying their silk composition in response to conditions. The selective expression of proteins is a difference between the two species studied, not between individuals within one species.

The title is technically correct: the two species share a lot of glue genes, and the properties of their silks differ due to other genes affecting things like the ratios of glue proteins in the silk, and those genes evolved faster than the glue genes themselves.
It was a prototype, which is my point. I believe I saw a lot more than you did; are you asserting that the 2 and a half people on the Mac team in 1980 are the only ones who could identify a prototype?
Good question. OPA is best suited for ABAC-centric scenarios, where your authorization logic is expressed in terms of attributes on users, objects, or environment.

The ReBAC / Zanzibar model is more opinionated, but most use-cases seem to be pretty easily described in ReBAC.
BEAM does have a JIT on some platforms (iirc, amd64 and aarch64), but it's not an optimizing JIT like you might be familiar with from Java's Hotspot and similar systems.

In BEAM Asm, the design is for the whole VM to either be interpretted (status quo) or native (JIT). In JIT mode, all the loaded modules are translated to native code as they're loaded; this needs to be fast or startup times are delayed, IIRC, there is an optimization path, but it's simple. There's no reoptimization of hot code paths later either; just the one time process.

The main benefit of this process is to remove a specific part of interpretation overhead, the instruction unpacking and dispatch overhead is eliminated. This can be significant for some applications and not for others, but it's really the main target, any other optimizations that happen are a bonus.

Fortunately gasoline will generally evaporate in moderate heat rather than ignite! Unless there is another ignition source which might be common enough on a poorly maintained vehicle. I've driven cross-country with a leaky fuel rail, would not recommend!
Agree - but the trajectory is to become a "Master Plumber" (this is an actual title/license) then you can operate your own plumbing business and the harder physical stuff can be done by younger employees.

Getting to this level takes 7-10 years (from a cursory Google search), so he could have it by his early 30s.

Usually the worry blue collar/trades people have is when their body starts breaking down in their 40s/50s and they are still having to directly perform the manual labor. This happens even in kitchens in restaurants. But putting in 10 years in his youth if he stays in shape in a less physical trade mitigates that a lot.

Another alternative if you don't care about making a lot of money is military/USPS. You'll be retired with pension by 40. And with the military, you will have the opportunity to train as a knowledge worker on their dime if your interest skews more in that area than physical labor. Even with those, there's ways to finesse things. Even if you wanted to go that route, it'd probably be better to try to be an officer rather than enlisted. So you'd have to get a bachelor's degree from somewhere, and make sure they will pay off your student loan debt.

But it really just depends on what you're trying to optimize for. All of this advice assumes OP doesn't have any kind of safety net (like a trust fund/inheritance that will vest when he turns X age like 25 or 30 or parents willing to bankroll whatever he wants to do), and that he lives in the US and is solely concerned with having a career where he can eventually make six figures that is unlikely to be made obsolete during his working life by technology.

If he does have those things, then the question becomes a lot harder more philosophical and harder to answer. You can try and fail at a lot of different stuff and it won't matter. So pursue whatever interests you.

A lot of people are realizing it just doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you are great or terrible at your job, because you might get fired or laid-off either way. You can spend you whole life squirreling away your retirement, only to watch those savings evaporate at the next "financial crisis".

To borrow a quote from one of your other posts:

> climate change (in the popular conception) feels fundamentally unresolvable.

For context, I have a graduate degree in physics. I am 31 and I have spent my entire adult life studying climate change and its management at a hobbyist level. I regularly get lost in academic papers about the phenomena or the technologies that may be used to address them.

So try not to write me off as incurious when I tell you it is obviously silly to blame a false perception — that climate change is unresolvable — on the real facts about climate change. Reality does not cause people to believe falsehoods. A far better explanation for this belief would in fact be social media itself, which has a miserable track record of amplifying both climate change denialism and doomerism. Someone who has absorbed misleading claims about impending collapse from social media could certainly believe that the cause of their anxiety is climate change itself and not the people who helped them down that road. Look at the graphs:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_of_photovoltaics

>I can’t think of any real reason why he doesn’t (it makes his argument strictly stronger, and results in the same conclusions)

Reducing social media and smartphones to the status of an "accelerant" rather than a primary cause weakens the case for urgent government intervention, which is Haidt's major focus. It is also jargon creep, since "accelerant" is harder to interpret than "cause".

You can always just delete your account. Granted, that's easier for me to say as an adult than it would be for your average peer-pressured teenager. But that's where parents can help.

I think eventually, teens will see social media as "uncool" in the same way as they see smoking cigarettes as "uncool" (in some countries). It takes a lot of social propagandizing to popularize that idea, but we did it with cigarettes and we can do it with social media.

We need to make being off the grid cooler than being on it. Privacy is cool!

There are very few economic frameworks that actually value people at all. And unless your idea is to replace capitalism with an agrarian structure, then almost anything else you could suggest would see people as an expense, which is the economic opposite of value.

"NaturalSpeech 2 can synthesize speech with good expressiveness/fidelity and good similarity with a speech prompt, which could be potentially misused, such as speaker mimicking and voice spoofing.

"In these kind of cases, only lawyers make a windfall."

I am starting to think this is by design. Congress is full of lawyers and they probably make laws for lawyers. If I were in charge I probably would make laws that benefit engineers.
This shouldn't be too surprising. Similar results were had with GPT-3 a while back, which is kind-of-able to produce audio or images, encoded as streams of tokens, when trained on that task, despite not being designed for it.

A very interesting property was noted a few years ago by multiple researchers, I'm not sure who discovered it first. Transfer learning is unreasonably effective. If you were training an image generator network, there's a significant reduction in training time, by taking a model already trained and fine-tuning it, compared to starting from a model with truly random weights.

This isn't surprising when we're talking photos of ambulances and moving to photos of trucks. But it holds true when you train it on ... well, anything structured, really. A GPT-style transformer trained on online comments, or audio samples of music encoded as token streams, when switched to images of cars encoded as token streams, learns that task much more quickly than if it had been fully randomized.

I don't see how to escape the conclusion that these models learn some sort of general properties (something about arithmetic and mathematical relationships, maybe?) There's some sort of abstraction or internal model that is learned, that is applicable across very different tasks.
Your biggest adversary, one that's cast a dark shadow over your country and it's allies, one that's consumed trillions of dollars of defence spending over the last 75 years, is now being ground down and exhausted with approximately zero of your countrymen's lives at risk and all for a mere few billion dollars. You're getting a bargain.

It is returning a series of snippets from the book, from which it cannot create a summary. That’s because of the way vectorized search works.

Summarizing the book requires a different approach. Usually condensing the book, maybe processing ten pages at a time, and then summarizing the condensed chunks.
> Do you have private health insurance?

I do.

But when I was waiting for the MRI I asked the three other people waiting there with me, out of curiosity about this exactly.

Two told me they had public health insurance, one had been given the appointment one day prior, the other three. So at least for Berlin there seems to be no difference.

But I can confirm that for seeing specialists, it does make a difference. My partner has public health insurance. I would say if I have to wait one week to get an appointment, she has to wait two. But it's never months, like you read from people that live in certain other countries.

On a sidenote, my appointment for the MRI was at 8:15pm. It seems the radiology places here all run the machines long into the night to max out workload. I had a CT a few day later at a different clinic at 9pm!
Frama-C is used in production to meet normative requirements for critical software at least at Airbus (DO-178C), THALES (CC EAL6/7), EDF (ISO 60880). I think that they use actual software in production.
We've had a misunderstanding here. I think there is a clear improvement: a set of phone credentials that you use in public situations where you might be snooped or robbed.
