I studied neuroscience and remembered the first time that I had seen a "homunculus" diagram and 3D chap. Not something you can unsee.

The one that I first saw in grad school was the illustration by Slagter.

https://anatomytool.org/content/slagter-drawing-cortical-mot...

I remember thinking at the time that nature had tucked the genitals inside wall of the gyrus in order to give it as much protection from blunt force trauma as possible.

The homunculus chap pictured in that article is the SFW/SFK variety. A more NSFW version can be seen here

Last night I after seeing this in HN, I did some googling and found this interesting article

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/where-are-genital...

TL;DR:

"Penfield wrote that the lack of responses from other patients may have been because of 'a false sense of modesty.'"

"But, somewhat amazingly, scientists are still without a firm answer as to how to draw a homunculus with the correct placement of male and female genitalia."

"The key to finally pinning down the location of the genitals, as with everything in science, will be large sample sizes and repeated experiments with consistent methods. In the past 40 years, 17 studies using several different imaging and stimulation techniques have mapped the genitals of 264 people—an average of just 15 people per study. Small wonder that they disagree."
Which part of this process is hard for you?

But don't 12V lead-acid batteries have a wide voltage range between charged (~14.5V) and discharged (~10V)? I don't think they would provide exactly 12.6V very often, or for very long.
Yeah, this guy's stash may or may not include any Russian data. What I'm saying is that it's a common problem in eastern Europe, in democratic countries and authoritarian hellholes alike. Just because the Russian state can arbitrarily imprison you forever without any valid reason does not make it capable enough as an organization to securely store even data that can be used to badly hurt its interests.

The Ukrainian state has been "digitizing" by leaps and bounds even before the war, and now it's accelerated further. Everything's moving "to the cloud". They seem to be relatively competent these days, past lessons learned perhaps. But the breakneck pace of moving everything online (far outpacing most western European countries) will surely result in breaches, it's just common sense.
What's the status of the ECPA 180-day rule for warrantless email reading?
Considering the advances in LLM's, what's the status of the ECPA rule that allows the federal government to read emails after 180 days? I was shocked that email left on an email server is considered 'abandoned' and that it can be read by the government without warrant, and presumably by the people who operate the email server. Considering the power of LLM's, this seems like it is ripe for the type of abuse that has been mentioned on Hacker News many times- someone spinning up an LLM trained on your emails and answering questions as if they are you, as a virtual interrogation. That is frightening because it is so faulty, but might be considered legitimate by non-experts, and of course, it is a massive intrusion of privacy.

Are there any government experts who know whether the ECPA was amended? I only saw that an amendment passed in the House and then in a Senate committee, but presume it died in the Senate.

That's what it is for, but most setups don't have it setup correct (the verification page should ONLY appear during an actual DDoS, and even then only against IPs that appear to be participating).

It wants to do a bit of cryptography, which means that if scripts/WASM/etc are disabled, you can be out of luck.

I too have one screen that makes a noise, akin to coil whine, only when a certain spreadsheet is open and the window expanded past a threshold of the screen's real estate.

The productivity of labor. Which is simply revenue per hour of labor. When people talk about the increase in worker productivity, that measurement is simply GDP divided by number of hours worked in the economy.

That number has gone up recently, and many people who don’t know what productivity is actually measuring like to comment on the fact that the increase is productivity hasn’t been met with an increase in wages. But that increase has been driven by technology, and the people who are responsible for that increase in productivity capture the value. The people who sell the technology, not the people who sell the labor.
I was shocked to find that out too. A friend pointed out it helps for people on ventilators, was that your case?

Oceans’ sudden temperature spike stumps and alarms scientists
The world’s oceans have suddenly spiked much hotter and well above record levels in the last few weeks, with scientists trying to figure out what it means and whether it forecasts a surge in atmospheric warming.

There are several marine heat waves or ocean warming spots that don’t fit an El Nino pattern, such as those in the northern Pacific near Alaska and off the coast of Spain, he said.

“This is an unusual pattern. This is an extreme event at a global scale” in areas that don’t fit with merely an El Nino, said Princeton University climate scientist Gabe Vecchi. “That is a huge, huge signal. I think it’s going to take some level of effort to understand it.”
Calling it "OSINT" is a stretch when it is state funding and collaboration that enables the firm you are referencing (according to Paul Mason).
I do know the common narrative. FUD -> more snake oil "solutions". I myself rely on a special type of igneous rock that keeps hackers away. In reality:

1. Most sites only have this problem due to inefficient design. You are literally complaining about handling 1 request every 2 seconds! That's like a "C10μ problem."

2. How many IPs are these bots coming from? Rate limiting per source IP wouldn't be nearly as intrusive.

3. There are much less obtrusive ways of imposing resource requirements on a requester, like say a computational challenge.
That is called Morse code, not Morse.

Functioning ecosystems do provide pest control, otherwise there would not be ecosystems at all, because some pest would just destroy the entire thing. There are very well established agricultural systems that use that principle and employ it to enable commercial farming without pesticides and herbicides while retaining high productivity.

These are the exact same “private API”s your browser utilizes when visiting chat.openai.com and require your own API keys granted to you by OpenAI.

Calling it illegal is utterly insane. It’s just a different user-agent and they’d prefer people use their official ones. OpenAI literally controls the keys so if they don’t want someone using an alternate mechanism, they can and will just ban the account.

Perhaps. Ask your government about it if you genuinely don't think the alternative is going to be far worse. People demand x solutions for y technologies like crypto or AI. Demand solutions for the problem.

The centralized solution is going to be a government-owned/controlled MITM service like CloudFlare. No doubt with actual ID for verification.

I don't see the decentralized solution happening any time soon.

Massive attacks existed long before CloudFlare ever did. If you're implying there's a conspiracy that CloudFlare is attacking others directly or indirectly to sell their solutions, I'd be extremely careful as that's defamatory and almost certainly false.

Furthermore, most CloudFlare users only use the free plan and thus cost CloudFlare money. Isn't that curious?
Why is this Cloudflare's problem to fix?

Sure, but those systems had been sabotaged by a politican/dictator named Nicolás Maduro who rejected the results of an election.

A decentralized payments system is one that cannot be shut down by Nicolás Maduro.

WASM is run in a "brain in a jar" type execution model, with basically zero knowledge or access to its external environment (the "host"). So it could absolutely take advantage of these kinds of peripherals, but the host enviornment would provide import functions that enable it to interact with resources like a video card.

The gap is definitely closing as you say, and WebAssembly provides a path for it, as well as a security model that doesn't put users at risk.
There used to be much tighter rules on immigration and many fewer people coming even while the US was the largest economy of the world. So I don't think it has always been a superpower of the US.

Japan also had the second largest economy for decades and a very tight immigration system. China will overtake the US on economy soon if it hasn't already and they have very tight immigration also.

We also overproduce PhDs right now and elite-overproduction is something that seems to be very destabilizing.
Yes, but aren't there more viable options? Like: a transition page that just waits for 5 seconds before loading.

> We already use several processes that are similar to lab grown meat. Ie beer and cheese are a bunch of cells dumped into a growth medium. Hell bread rises because of yeasts in a growth medium.

"Similar" is not the same. In all those cases you cite, you're using non-animal cells that are very close to wild to modify existing food in relatively minor ways.

If "meat" was bacterial sludge or yeast blocks, it would be a lot more practical to grow in a lab, but it's not. Meat is things like chicken muscle cells, which are not evolved to grow outside the support of a complex organism.
One thing to understand that your query is sent verbatim to the search engine and "What is the most important thing that happened yesterday?" is not a really good search query..

In fact there are almost no search queries that will capture this properly (you would go to news and sort enable a date range filter to yesterday). So this it actually not the model failure but a search "failure" in this case.

I have this issue with my keyboard.

My connection:

WASM CODE V3 keyboard -> UGreen USB 3.0 switch -> desktop computer

I don't know which device(s) are at fault but when I get off my (non-Ikea) chair[0], my keyboard sometimes stops working. It's easy to resolve by double-tapping the 'switch input' button on the USB switch, although sometimes the keyboard doesn't work until I click my mouse (or maybe vice versa). Anyway, I've gotten used to it and don't have any motivation to diagnose the issue further.

Isn't it already relatively cheap to run? Training is costly, but there are examples of running LLaMA on your laptop. It doesn't seem like it will take decades to commoditize this stuff ... it is just the cutting edge might keep moving ahead.
Wow. Maybe this is what's been happening with my screen. When I stand up, it resets. I figured it was ESD but had no idea from what or how. I have a secretlab chair though.
Well that's not correct.

You are actually very protected in documenting security flaws, and even republishing them.

I am unsure of who you think enforces laws... as far as I know OpenAI doesn't have their own police force yet.

They can sue you of course, but they generally can't demand compliance with takedowns in this case without first going to a judge and requesting a court order.

There is no "commercial law" unless you mean UCC.. which doesn't apply here.

To be fair, this is not breaking the "internet," it is just breaking access to a subset of popular "websites" which are free to choose this. The Internet itself is much more than this in quality, if not quantity.

Tangentially related, at my current job we do not filter candidates by certain "top schools" and it has lead to the most diverse (ethnic, gender, vocational background, social economic, nationality, etc.) team of software engineers I've ever worked on. This is in sharp contrast to all my previous jobs where they consistently filter by a list of schools. Obviously this is not a silver bullet but it's quite shocking to realize how many really qualified candidates (and now amazing coworkers) are filtered out that way. We still have engineers from Berkeley, the Ivies, etc. but our most common school is SJSU and this is the best team I've ever worked on in terms of talent, cohesiveness, and kindness.
I noticed, when you browse with Linux or a VPN and sites go crazy- that HCaptcha seems far friendlier than Recaptcha in that i never get stuck in a loop like Recaptcha does where it glitches out, or bugs out and makes it so you'll spend 5+ minutes going through 5 or 6 rounds of matching images because it oddly fails.

If captchas are so important - serious point, perhaps different ones are the way to go?

I apologize in advance if this is more of a setting of difficulty from Cloudflare on Recaptcha, and Hcaptcha potentially being able to be set just as difficult/cost you as much time to get past/etc
I agree. When I finished the article, I thought: File this one under "Problems I'd love to have." I can't imagine agonizing over any of the examples in the article, and I don't see the difference. I have a tiny handful of friends with gobs of money and that doesn't make hanging out with them awkward, regardless of who pays. Honestly, if one of them were to rent a house in some exotic location and invited me, I'd be thrilled! The article feels like it is from some alternate universe.

the response of the oversight committee was to place blame on local management and call to increase oversight.

What about the endless oversight so famously wrapped around every bank right now? Is it true that you cannot in reality start a Bank in the USA without an Oracle license? due to the vast and arcane reporting requirements already in place for decades?

Does this lead to a situation where the innovators are actually using micro-flaws in supervision rules and magnifying that by thousands of times compared to a "well-run" Bank, directly contradicting the aims of oversight and specifically due to excessive and byzantine existing oversight?

Does this Federal Reserve have the ability to make rules that work for Banks in 2023 after the extended-lifetime cash QE ?

I like this, and I think you hit the nail on the head with the price of education.

An expert curation of thought techniques and their traditions that aims to develop a critical insight into a discipline (and into reality in general) in a crucial social setting is not really attainable anywhere else. Noam Chomsky noticed this in his famous essay "The Function of a University..." Obviously critical thinking is not a requirement for a government job, and maybe even a detriment?
Per pound of meat? That's easy: some dead cow, by far. Much worse for the environment. Massive factories are the best ways humans have found to be efficient and producing massive quantities of things. Everything else is less efficient. Inefficient means waste. Waste means bad for the environment.

Yes, we're bad at it still. Do you claim that humanity should never undertake new efforts? If you don't claim that, then you must accept that we're going to be worse at new things than things we've been doing for 10,000 years. It will get better.
Simply not true. Many plants accumulate surplus nutrients in their root systems or provide the required support for the soil life that sequesters nutrients in the soil. All of that remains in the soil when you harvest the plant, if you are not dump enough to destroy the soil live by tilling, which sadly is currently the norm in industrialized agriculture. If fertility isn't free, who the f*ck would something like succession happen, which is the norm in nature and can turn barren land into perennial forests.

EDITED TO ADD: This is the reason why agriculture before the advent of chemical fertilizers (in the 1900s) was even possible. You'd simply rotate your crops so that they'd create a balanced nutrition profile in the soil without the need to add a lot of external fertility. Edge cases like the Nile floodplains excepted.
When you first think about it for a bit, it might seem logical, but when you ponder it a bit longer, it doesn't. Censorship essentially comes down to this: some folks believe they know better than others about what those others should want. There's a fitting quote: "A censor is someone who knows more than they think you should." In a world where yesterday's "misinformation" becomes today's fact, you'd have to be pretty clueless to believe that we can determine what is or isn't misinformation.

Also, honestly, the spam filter example (and the rest of your examples) is pretty ridiculous. I don't turn it off, but I'd definitely freak out if my email provider decided to censor my messages for my own good without letting me see them. If nothing else then because of how many false positives I constantly see in my spam folder.
