> It is not necessary to produce a "shippable" app or dylib, the vast majority of apps or dylibs can be and are shipped without doing any of this.

You're not wrong. I think I engaged in a little bit of hyperbole here because I often fall into the thinking of top 10 or 20 appstore app terms. Not certain but if memory serves I think probably even Meta's least aggressively optimized app still does the orderfile thing.
> But if, instead of extending it, you try to contract it, then without crossing into metaphysics, you'll stop at the brain.

Dunno about the other poster, but I can promise you I will not.

I think it's kind of a pointless exercise to try to draw a physical boundary of what's "me" and what isn't, but carrying that exercise a bit further: How much of the spinal cord can I exclude in my "sense of me" before I "cross into metaphysics"? If I drop my eyes from my sense of "me", seems like I could also drop the neurons in the brain that are responsible solely for visual processing of input from them. Or is that a step too far and "into metaphysics"?

Heck, I think the classic nerd brain-in-a-meatsuit position doesn't really stop at the brain here either. E.g. I think it places an accurate simulation of one's brain running on different hardware on about the same level as the meat brain, and "you" wouldn't know the difference. That's just not a thing we can do (yet?). Does that position cross into metaphysics?

In practice, I "contract my sense of self" when it comes to my thoughts too, which (presumably) all happen in the brain. I often find it useful to ask "where did that thought come from?" and give an external account ("ah, I picked it up from X") and let that have some bearing on the next thought. I also have "intrusive thoughts"; the act of labeling a thought an "intrusive thought" is (arguably, partially) an act of contracting one's sense of self to exclude that thought.

I'm pretty sure this conversation had "crossed into metaphysics" by the time discussion about expansion/contraction of one's "sense of you" was happening; not when the contraction reached the brain.
I doubt interfacing with 80 year old lab equipment is the target market for this board. Though I can see supporting the existing shields and interface being a design goal. But there's already a lot of ESP32s in use today using a variety of methods to interface to 5v devices without including a whole other microcontroller.

> if staff members started flipping off random circuit breakers

If they are accessible to them then they shouldn't cause damage.

Just lock the cabinet if nobody should touch them.
A lock is 30$, isn't it?
A tag with a phone number for maintainance is 5$ ?

> They put a sign on the fridge

So they knew they were 1 switch away from disaster, human intervention or not.
I hope it had proper SIL rating, if they are mad now it failed.

Either humans are nice and well intentioned but stupid, and it's a shame to blame them when they just tried.

Or they're really evil, and then you need to protect the system from them.

Anyways, it's stupid to blame workers afterwards.

UPS should have been directly between the fridge and the wall, without switch in the middle. And it should have warned staff. If not, they had accepted the risk.

The fridge was also already malfunctioning and required maintainance (hence the temperature alarm)

So I'm surprise there was no monitoring whatsoever, just a sign, and now they are mad about its failure.
It's not consistent.
OJFord. GP? not sure what that stands for. It sounds like you think we should charge more. If you looked at the platform, curious what would you pay for the ad as a seller?
The article goes straight for a big payoff by talking about the accepted canon of a fictional universe and drawing parallels to history. I don’t think the article reaches its goal here. If you are going to say “Captain Kirk is captain of the Enterprise”, it’s assumed that you’re making some kind of statement about canon, but if you say “Richard III was king of England”, it’s assumed you’re talking about the real historical person, unless you’re doing historiography.

I think in order to accept this conceit of the article you have to kind of take an extreme, Baudrillardian viewpoint on who Richard III is in the first place—you have to take the viewpoint that Richard III is a character, a cultural product in the same sense that Captain Kirk is a cultural product. Or you have to conflate different meanings of the word “canon”.
Do you ever need to use a hotspot? Recommendations for a device?
We do, but that still doesn't change the reality on the ground. The jungle is a pretty brutal and disorienting place. I've done a few walks in the jungle in Colombia and Panama and it is incredibly beautiful but you also quickly realize that without a guide you are going to be lost in 30 seconds. Foliage so dense you can't see more than a few meters ahead and behind of you, dense enough to obscure the sun to the point that you can no longer navigate, and sometimes dense enough to interfere with GPS unless you plan on staying in the same spot for a long time. It is also incredibly alive for want of a better word.

> You don't have to go as far as accidents; menopausal woman lose their ability to produce gametes. They lose their sexual reproductive capabilities. Does it make sense to speak of a sex if you don't have sexual reproductive capabilities? Seems weird to me.

Pre-pubescent boys do not produce gametes either but that doesn’t stop them being male. A male cannot produce large gametes but may not ever produce small gametes or may never again, and the opposite for females. Whether that’s weird or not to you has no bearing on anything but your ability to process the logic, that’s the way it is.

It always has been part of the manifest (Bluetooth permissions before, location permissions these days). However, even with the permission in the manifest, modern Android release don't just grant that permission on install; you need to ask the user for permission, and then ask them again for things like background permissions, and then display a continuous notification if your app is running in the background.
Rotten meat is also considered a delicacy by people in the bush. Apparently it’s a bit like cooking it.

I have an Italian mother in law. One of the things that impressed me is how so many of the methods of cooking feed into each other. The leftover milk that's nearly spoiled can go into making cheese and there were many similar techniques like this that I don't remember.

I feel like we've lost some of our food cultures at some point and we're only starting to realize what we're missing.
Most intro courses to perception/cognition will cover the "gap filling" and "extrapolation" that takes place in a "data sparse" context that is the human experience/speech, but here's a related article [1]. I think "speculative thinking" and "heuristic simulation" are more appropriate/technical terms [2] (and surely involved in AGI). I used "hallucination" a bit liberally, but with text being the only "sense" of an LLM, I think it's somewhat reasonable.

That it speaks English? Being human, I think a lot of us tend to forget what an incredibly difficult problem natural language processing is.

I'm always a little baffled when people discount the abilities of LLMs, when meanwhile I'm blown away that I'm having a perfectly valid, seemingly-human-level conversation with a machine. Yes, all of the problems with things like inaccuracy, hallucinations and bias need to be called out and highlighted, but if you had showed me a ChatGPT transcript a year ago I would have thought you were bluffing, that it was really a "human behind the curtain".

Point being, the person didn't ask for the system to output "console.log((retrieveHNFrontPage()).stories[0].title". The person simply asked "What is the general sentiment of the comments on the current top hacker news story?" And you might argue that there is some parsing logic you could implement to pull out "current top hacker news story" and translate that to code, but the fact is that currently nothing is better than an LLM at taking practically any natural language request and turning it into an actionable piece of code.

Yeah, the wastage of the "average" home bugs me, but there's got to be lower hanging fruit than somehow living in spheres. Even just a cylinder would give you some great improvement (and it would be mostly rectangles, with normal windows), but even better than that? On the other side of the wall I am typing this at, there's a heat engine removing heat from a freezing box, but then it has to drop all that heat into the space I am sitting in . . so then another box has to try and get the heat outside. Oh! But wait! There's another box that HEATS UP - a lot! - so I can put food in it. Another one dries my clothes, and makes hot water, both of them putting heat back in. Jiminy beeswax. Not even going to touch the way water is brutally wasted in the typical setup.
I wonder if he purchased the license through a vendor which supports o365, or from Microsoft directly.

It sounds like he's the sole user on an o365 account. I wonder if his account was compromised leading to the loss of access. Seems kind of negligent on his behalf if he's the sole (admin) user. If his company has compliance requirements, meeting them would have likely addressed this issue.

Quick temporary fix would be to change public-facing DNS records: MX and likely (hopefully) SPF & DKIM, pointing them to a different mail host. At least that way he could get his email.

The Z on ETHZ is important, ETH on its own is just (loosely) "university", the Z makes it the Zürich one ;D. There is exactly one other: EPFL in Lausanne. (And you can technically call them EPFZ and ETHL if you really want to confuse people.)

(EPF [École Polytechnique Fédérale] is just the French version of German ETH [Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule]. Funnily enough both have pretty good international reputations, but due to the primary regional language being different are rarely recognized to be the same type of Swiss education entity.)
Specifically, there are huge areas only accessible on foot or by helicopter. And good luck getting cell service. This means any injury you get can be life threatening since it may take days to get back to any kind of road.

> Well, you first need to get agreement from your language users on what constitutes "better". Removing the dynamism from a dynamic language does not make it "better".

I think that depends on if said dynamism is being intentionally used. Far too often it is not, and it gets even worse when that is paired with tools that do automated source code generation like the kinds Meta and Google use (or misuse depending on your definition).
I don't think it matters at all for US national security. It would be hard to imagine that the NSA doesn't listen to all inbound and outbound traffic in the US already and other nations don't do the same. Nationally sensitive information isn't going to be presented anywhere near these devices, thats still a "come to the office" industry unless you somehow have the clout to get a scif installed in your basement.
I think it has more to do with sanitation than diet directly, many illnesses that kill that way (cholera, for one) flourish to this day in unclean areas, where excrement contaminates the water/food. Not eating rotting food as well, which was normal for a very long time.

Pretty certain that that accounts for a whole lot of diarhea and death.

It does make me think of how little soil we are in contact with compared to paleolithic persons - I know that B12 is sourced from the soil in our alimentation, but since we wash our produce we don't get any, and if you don't eat meat you need to supplement.

I wonder if there are not other bacterium that we are washing away.

Also remember hearing that it could be picked up on your skin on contact, which is also not something most people do daily.
You shouldn't just automatically trust it, but it allows you to examine what its doing and make your own informed decision about whether or not you can trust it. If you discover your data is being collected in an open source project you can, at the least, make an informed decision and give consent to it.

And while everyone won't be able to understand what they're looking at, the community as a whole would benefit from people looking at it an announcing/discussing problematic things they see in the code base.

If an open source project is syphoning data, someone's going to see it and talk about it.

If a closed project is doing it, it's harder / more complicated for that act to be discovered.

> Those campaigns exist because domestic violence against women exists with a social and cultural support structure that normalises that violence, and the theory behind the campaigns is that intercepting the support structure earlier might stop some amount of domestic violence against women before it ever happens, by stopping its justification in culture.

Yes I'm aware of the motivation, I am skeptical of the efficacy personally and I say that as someone who grew up a victim of domestic violence. In Australia in particular we also invest no resources in domestic violence against men, which has women perpetrators more than most people expect, but also doesn't help victims of DV who are in MLM relationships.

> It's not the same thing as the "kill all men" example because while some women definitely have killed some men, broadly speaking almost no men are being killed by women, and the number isn't spiking or any other observation that should make us concerned that that may change.

Look, "bit-- be crazy" is definitely not a call to violence. It's a form of commiseration and some venting. This is actually the hypocrisy - the assumption that everything said is coded hatred when said by or about certain people but not others. I'm not and never have claimed that the people saying "kill all men" meant it literally.
I believe these single letter "messages" were useful in quickly determining the day's setup, and maybe wiring diagrams, but I'm not sure about the last part.

Edit: this seems to be part of my custom ROM, I can't replicate this in Google's Android emulator. That said, almost every non-Google Android distro seems to ship with some kind of switch to disable internet access for apps, though.

You can disable internet for apps on Android. Open the app details in the settings (or by tap+holding the icon in the home screen), tap the data usage, and disable network access (cell access, wifi access, neither, or both).

Making internet access opt-in would be a massive pain for most apps, because almost every app has some online component these days.
I'm considering switching to GrapheneOS but the fact that it only runs on Google phones makes me hesitant. Yet the other Android replacements look a lot less compatible. Am I being paranoid?

"full of narcos and rebel groups"

This area is 60km into Balamkú ecological reserve. Are you familiar with that area? This state (Campeche) if famous for being one of the safest areas in Mexico. No, there are no narcos or rebels in these jungles. You would have to travel several hundreds of kilometers north in order to find any danger related to narcos. Everything else you said is true: Thick jungle, hot and difficult to navigate, but humans are the least dangerous things in that area.

This is not true. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is currently available at no charge to students and non-commercial users for the use cases you mentioned. And it has always been available in that manner. It even comes with additional (paid if used commercially) red hat products on top of the OS itself.

I have a tough time believing they didn't know that considering red hat basically advertises training on the free version of RHEL. They want you to pay to take the RHCSA, which costs much more than anybody would realistically spend on a personal OS for learning.

> floats really really want to be "near 1", to keep precision.

The number of significant digits is identical for (nearly) the entire range of FP values. There's no value to keeping it "near 1" for IEEE 754 floats - the precision is exactly the same regardless whether near 1 or near 1 trillion. This makes them ideal for general computation and modeling physical properties.

In contrast, posits, the unum alternative to IEEE 754, are highly sensitive to absolute scale. Posits lose precision as the magnitudes increase. Otoh, for small values, you get much higher precision which is why they getting some attention from the AI world where normalized weights are everywhere.

My kitchen table is not rectangular. My bathroom sink is not rectangular. My chest of drawers is not rectangular. Who cares what shape boxes are? Balloons are egg-shaped, or round or rectangular. Pipes tend to be cylindrical. Light bulbs have various shapes. What does that have to do with the shape of houses?

The point is to have independent review. Drug review is notoriously slow and expensive because of the nature of the industry: bodies can take a long time to show results and cost money to recruit. Software testing can be done quickly and safely. We can run tests on software that would be considered unethical on humans.

The alternative is to move fast and break things which is maybe acceptable if that thing is a production database but far less charming if that thing is our emergency communications systems.
