Trying to step lightly here, but

> have nothing to do with the biology of sex

is not true. The motivation for dehumanizing trans people is largely based on the (completely erroneous) twin ideas that "gender is sex" and "there are two sexes". Both of those things being false really takes the wind out of the argument.
My take is that there has been an ongoing "AI/ML" hype cycle, but this latest craze is a more specific LLM hype. I expect to see a chatbot that can help you derive insights from everything you've uploaded.

For Dropbox, I predict that this will go exactly the way Dropbox Paper went.
Perfect example of AI gold rush nonsense. Pinecone has zero moat and quite a few free alternatives (Faiss, Weviate, pg-vector). Their biggest selling point is that AI hype train people don’t Google “alternatives to pinecone” when cloning the newest trending repo (or I guess, ask ChatGPT).
That's a very interesting lens to view the series through. Haven't seen the newest one yet but I'd have suggested he is Karma incarnate.

He has the Midas touch-- everyone around him dies. Everything he touches dies. Yet he persists as an unstoppable force of nature, bringing death and destruction wherever he goes-- including to his loved ones.

As punishment for his previous life as a hitman, he's locked into this weird purgatory where everything he cares about is systematically taken from him at every opportunity (from his actual family to his "work family," his cherished car and even his very identity).

What I've seen of the series so far has him constantly on the run. You can't outrun your past forever.

Physically impossible? I wouldn't say that. 2nm is a marketing term, depending on how you define it, it is actually 20nm or 45nm here.
The SNES port was my first introduction to Doom. What a blast from the past.
The contest approach wouldn’t necessarily hold rigor, because it doesn’t formally prove that all 2-MAXSAT problems can be solved using this algorithm. Just that one or more cherry-picked problems can. I think the paper really just needs to present actual proofs for the propositions it makes (as others have pointed out).

A different perspective:

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence-economic, political, even spiritual-is felt in every city, every state house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. - President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Farewell Address, 1961

Of course I have, because arm chair psychology is actively harmful and unethical. Sociopathy and narcissism require a detailed review of a person's history, intentions, etc by a qualified medical professional in order to make a diagnosis. I'm also of the generation where, mostly women, influencers started wantonly using these labels on their enemies so I have a particular distaste for armchair psychology. I leave that bit between a patient and their psychologist, because largely it doesn't matter. The outcome is still what it is. It coming up in popular conversation is just an extension of using mental health as a boogey man and the old "people can't change" narrative.
One of you is going to turn this into a puzzle and ask me in my next interview. I won't know the answer, but please don't laugh at me when you realize!
No way. Military contractors are barred from hiring overseas, or giving up ownership stakes to overseas entities. It's why they're great places to work if job security is your thing.
I mean that would be ideal, if it reasonably scaled as I uploaded/deleted.

But I'd be fine with more reasonable increments in steps of X smaller amount of GB.
I'd be really interested to see this broken down further:

* Single mothers, married mothers, single fathers, and married fathers - does being married have an impact on productivity? If married parents produce more, then perhaps the issue is the mothers not having as much help as the fathers in aggregate.

* Same sex couples vs. Heterosexual ones. Do lesbian mothers suffer from the same productivity penalty? Or do gay male faculty members take a similar hit to mothers since they're acting as primary caregivers?

* Adoptive/non-biological parenthood versus giving birth: Is it being a mother that causes the dip or birthing a child?
We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.
> it is a bimodal distribution

this isn't something that most people are familiar with, especially people who tend to see things in binaries (not because they're stupid, but because they're trained to see the world in binaries, because it's the simplest classification system which makes it easy to manipulate by politicians and media).
I wrote a hearthstone simulator when the game came out.

https://github.com/jleclanche/fireplace

It was used and referenced by a few scientific papers and phds since. It’s my little pride, even though it would really need a rewrite at this point to work properly with all the additions in the game.

It contains its own little python driven dsl for actions. I could talk about it for hours. All that work led to me starting a company around hearthstone (I have since left it behind but it eventually grew into other games).
Thanks for confirming my gut response, that something felt "off" about the language here. As a German learner (B1-B2ish) I had a sense something was off-key, then had a suspicion machine translation was involved when OP offered to make an Arabic version very quickly for another commenter.

My German-speaking friends can always tell when I get lazy and run a text message through DeepL instead of writing it myself in German. Please, don't ever think machine translation is a good basis for a language-learning app!
Mosh has latency-hiding mechanisms. I used mosh for a bit on while riding a bus. Latency-hiding helped quite a bit to keep the UI responsive.

I've made a public playlist [1] on Spotify with the pairs of songs from that article, plus a bonus pair that wasn't covered in the article.

The odd numbers songs are the newer songs, with each of those immediately followed by the song it was accused of infringing.

I was also going to include a pair where there was no copyright dispute as far as I know and I'm not sure why because the newer song sure sounds like it has the same chord progressions, melody, structure, and arrangement, but Spotify only has the newer song.

YouTube has them both so here they are there:

Newer song [2]: "Jolly Roger" by Adam and the Ants from 1980.

Older song [3]: "The March of the MacGregors" by Ennio Morricone for the 1966 movie "Seven Guns for the MacGregors".

Especially because they've already at least partially solved one of the big challenges: People already trust them with their data. As long as they do nothing to betray that trust (such as e.g. training models on the private data and making them accessible outside the organisation) they have a massive starting advantage over organisations that will need to convince customers that it's ok to upload sensitive information to somewhere new.

Yeah, there is _zero_ chance of them being captured intact. It's a clean room! It's very easy to ruin! And both the Taiwanese and American governments have strong incentives to not let it be captured, and to signal that in advance.

> Can this automatically cause arbitrary code execution?

USB has capability to launch any arbitrary code that the user itself could without inputting any secret.

On anything that isn't the best protected Linux GUI (better protected than the configurations that everybody use), this is enough to install a keylogger on your environment and sniff any secret that it's lacking (but root/administrator rights are overrated anyway).

There has been some work on restricting USB so that it can't initiate anything. But that brings extreme usability problems, so it's very rare for people to do it in practice.
That is great for Nigerian Americans perhaps speaks also to other factors in their favor. Would be curious to see breakdowns in lineage.

As for descendants of slaves in the US, please check out these lectures by Dr. Joy DeGruy-Leary, and her theory on Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome. She did much research and readings into the history of American blacks and compared with other peoples. Her work focuses on how healing can occur after centuries of generational trauma.

Specifically, check out minutes 15:19 (bookmark “Systemic generational trauma” to 32:47 “Denigrating the Child”.)

This great talk on the history of slavery and Jim Crow in the US and explains how both black and white Americans have trauma leftover from the legacy of discrimination.

Finally, as a desi person I must add that our (especially older) communities are often quick to deride and hold racism against African Americans. There is much belief in exceptionalism in immigrants to the US contrasted against the “failed” minorities. Well, as the child of immigrants, I anecdotally see that much of the success comes from a continuity and sense of belonging from family, values, religion, etc which while colonized, still maintain memories former glories. In contrast, American slaves were ripped out from their historical context and shipped transatlantic.

So as the professor notes, talking about “culture” and saying “it’s their culture” is really a misnomer and attempt to distract from the very real trauma that continues to be inflicted.

Any effect that Russia could have possibly had has been massively and wildly exaggerated. If anything, that election showed that elites don't decide the outcomes. Clinton did appeal to a lot of 'elites' but not to many rank and file Democrat voters, large numbers of whom didn't turn up and vote. Trump, on the other hand, didn't appeal to most 'elites', but did appeal to a lot of rank and file Republican voters, who did turn up and vote. That more than explains Trump's win without having to resort to foreign boogeymen (for which the majority of the evidence never solidified beyond being just hearsay) to explain the loss of an uninspiring candidate.

Obviously that's massively different.

We can sit up, pause, move around, snuggle with a lover, we can just run and take a piss if we need without worrying about missing a critical scene, or watch it in two parts if we're feeling tired and want to catch the rest the next day.

My partner and I are also not out a combined $50 and we got to share a bottle of wine at home while we watch the movie on my 4K TV. No transit, either. We can just roll over and pass out if we want.

I'll make an exception for authors who want to tweak or improve their work.

Sometimes directors have to give into the limitations of their medium -- time, money, meddling producers, etc. If they want to revise it later to meet their original vision, more power to them.

They do fall at the same rate, even with Newtonian gravity. For,

F = m a
F_gravity = GMm/r^2

so that

ma = GMm/r^2.

Now cancel m from both sides and get

a = GM/r^2

If you plug in G=6.674e-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2, M = M_Earth = 5.972e+24 kg and r = R_earth = 6.378e+6 m you get

a = 9.79... m/s^2

which ought to be familiar.

> And I’d add that security by obscurity is also a valid reason. It’s bad as a standalone strategy, but good as a complementary strategy.

As the thread you link mentions, the phrase “security by obscurity” historically means (more of less) “security primarily by obscurity”. But sometimes this point gets lost. The thread you mention is interesting.

Wikipedia:

> Security through obscurity (or security by obscurity) is the reliance in security engineering on design or implementation secrecy as the main method of providing security to a system or component.

Summary:

Layers of security (which can include a wide range of techniques, including obfuscation, etc): useful, because delaying attacks and/or making them less likely is useful.

Obscurity as a main method: theatre, because it often leads to self-deception about the true risks involved

Setting up the software raid was difficult. I ran into a tar pit with that, but it turned out the Pi can’t power two drives at once, and a powered USB hub was all I needed. Otherwise, I’ve only sshed into the VPS a handful of times in the year that it’s been running. I haven’t had to to touch Syncthing on the Pi.

Exactly. I just upgraded against my will, as my 170€ phone from 2016 finally died for good. I bought a refurbished Pixel 4a, pretty much the only phone I could find that isn't quite a hand tablet. I will keep this as long as it lasts since I literally see zero reason why I should upgrade to any more recent handset.
