This is an interesting and simple physical measurement device to determine if the credit card slot is in a different orientation than expected. It uses the keypad as a reference location.

I think the most obvious circumvention would be for the criminal enterprise to focus on altering the length of the verification devices, since an EasySweep does not appear to have a formal method to verify its own correctness. A shortened card tab on EasySweep would provide feedback that the terminal was ok since the keypad finger support presses against the terminal.
Gemini being part of the web is pretty baked-in. You can link to http:// pages from gemini, and gemini:// pages from HTTP. And all these links participate in the hyperlinked "Web".

It even supports mime types, you can serve text/gemini from an HTTP server, or a text/html file from a Gemini server.
I think the lack of API key note is because that notebook is the one that renders the charts for the paper.
Another good (and entertaining) resource is James Powell's talk "So you want to be a Python expert" [1], the best explanation I've seen of decorators, generators and context managers. Good intro to the Python data (object) model too.

Then just create a key on that box and use it for all of your repos (add it to your github keychain); you're still much better off than with one key to rule them all (and one RCE to rule your laptop ha)
Populating the field automatically might nudge people toward doing the right thing, though.
All of these comments and articles and no mention of what the studies were about, and why he manipulated them.
Did they ever find the bus burglar?

Also, funny to think there were probably multiple reporters in those city council meetings all trying to figure out their own way of filling space. While not good for people's career prospects, having a single reporter [maybe rotating each year] write once and disseminate to all (AP style) feels more optimal.
Are you speaking as the representative of "reality"? Are you somehow the embodiment of "science"? Is it possible to experience and reason about reality without going through the eyes of an "evolved monkey"? You are speaking as if you are disembodied and floating around in the ether experiencing reality directly. It's so close to you that you don't even notice that you exist, and you are the only window you have to reality. There isn't any reality that you can be aware of outside of your own subjective perception, despite you "vivid imagination". You are confused if you think "reality" and "your model of reality" are two different things.

> > ... if we click through ...

> So you deflect from the entire content of the article with that distraction? And then an additional misdirection regarding retraction? Why?

What do you mean? I take issue with the headlines and reporting. And I believe if one claims lack of evidence, sloppy evidence or fraudulent evidence one should be pretty diligent about ones one evidence.

Regarding the claims in the article. If you look at the 1 in 4 article you find that the reality is actually much more nuanced, which is exactly my point. The reporting does not necessarily reflect the reality.

If you call that deflection...

My experience with using Cucumber was mostly positive, but had to be done very carefully or it would become a huge mess of rube goldberg code behind the scenes. The number of scenarios and steps can become crazy repetitive unless you leverage Rules, Backgrounds, and Scenario Outlines.

Probably the most important thing was that with a lot of test frameworks, having poorly architected test utility code is annoying and more time-consuming, but has a limited blast radius. Hacky tests can be easily isolated from the other test code. In Cucumber, proper architecture and reusability are paramount. If you screw this up, your tests become unmaintainable really quickly!
I find it odd when tech people talk about “the business”.

The “business” is everyone working together.

Sales, ops, tech are all the business.

I appreciate this word has a specific meaning in tech circles but its use distances you from “the business” you’re part of.
I’m not in favor of affirmative action for a whole host of reasons.

However, if we consider discrimination against group A to be illegitimate and yet that discrimination and it’s negative effects to people of group A remain widespread, actions to remedy that discrimination, which in many cases will indeed require treating people of group A differently, is not automatically illegitimate.

Just like we consider violence to be illegitimate, but at the same time we draw a massive distinction between violence by an offender and violence done in self defense.

While that’s true in general, as far as affirmative action specifically is concerned, as the legacy removals in response to the ending of affirmative action indicates, affirmative action was essentially colleges paying lip service to reducing harm while using it to justify all sorts of inexcusable practices (like legacy).
Why not? It's totally valid to hate both the game and those who are willing to play it. They perpetuate the game, after all.
i'm ok with this seeing as professors don't exactly make a lot of money, or if they do its because they dedicate 120% of their time doing so

I'd argue that the "evils" of modern journalism are more a consequence of economic failures in their employers than journalist themselves.

As came out in the Dominion v Fox News discovery, even the most political journalists are still disgusted by the things they have financial and management pressure to peddle.

Sure. Then please refrain from using anything that was invented/developed from government funding. Including the internet.
The web is still a zero-sum game without money involved. Search has 5-10 slots for whichever topic and if you're not in it, you effectively do not exist.

This was even true before search, in web directories. It has a limited amount of slots, you need to be on it at all and as high as possible.
The entire concept of an “admissions” department was based on the historical fact that too many Jews were being admitted and too few WASPs were. So they included a “character” criteria and fixed the problem.

Now, too many Asians are being admitted based on test scores. Oh no! To fix this problem, Harvard consulted their history department and included a “personality traits” section. Is it any wonder that Asian students scored low on this?

The two most popular stable diffusion UIs (automatic1111 and comfy) have longstanding issues with a few known but poorly documented bugs, like the ADA performance issue.

For instance, the torch.compile thing we are talking about is (last I checked) totally irrelevant for those UIs because they are still using the Stability AI implementation, not diffusers package that Huggingface checks for graph breaks. This may extend to SDXL.
Yes in the uk
Legacy doesn't just correlate with race - the fact that legacy admissions are so heavily skewed towards white people is because of past racial discrimination. It's a grandfather clause of sorts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_clause#Origin).

Yes - but more importantly, schools got more expensive, because people had more access to debt.

You end up having step definitions with highly complex implementations, with loops and conditionals.

I didn't say it was a one-off. But 150 papers is, to a first approximation, a one-off of all the science done in a given year. We produce millions of journal articles every year.

ungetc() exists for exactly this application. But when you want more abstract input stream than FILE* you have to reimplement that yourself on higher layer. Ironically even libc implementation needs an more generic abstraction to implement scanf() and sscanf() (ie. you either have two separate implementations of these or don't internally use ungetc())
That's a bizarre article from an actual linguist.
UBI went out the door in 2020. I used to support UBI, but after seeing what people did with the federal checks, I don't anymore. The level of fraud was also staggering.

The thing is that users would rather wait for FB, WhatsApp, Instagram, Threads, etc to get back up than to sign up onto another platform.

Now they run back to more centralized platforms like Twitter, TikTok, etc to complain all about it and vice versa because they never deleted their accounts in the first place.
Does it work with Go?
You claim “the facts are thrown out” but then don’t cite a single hard fact which remotely suggest anyone wants legacy status to count against. Instead you are extrapolating that removal of legacy from positive consideration will eventually lead to re-adding legacy for negative consideration, but no one is actually suggesting this. You are completely making it up.

The California law you cite only applies to universities that collect and consider legacy data in the first place. Thus, your claim that “if a qualified legacy student is accepted, the data on students must be made public...” does not hold if the universities simply drop legacy status from consideration altogether, which is the goal here. If they don’t collect the data, they can’t be accused of anything.

Honestly, this manipulation of facts and narrative leads me to believe that you are pushing an agenda and not arguing in good faith.
WhatsApp had a major disruption
To further reaffirm your division between depth of conversation and intro- and extroversion, I enjoy small talk and deep conversation and I find both a source of joy.

The difference is that one has to do with academic study, and one doesn't.

Edit: you’re acting like performance on the test is completely arbitrary. Clearly, it should be designed to avoid this, and to actually test academic mastery. For example, someone planning to study physics should be asked to solve difficult physics and math problems. Someone planning to study history or literature should be asked to write long-form essays on those topics. And so on.

I feel like a lot of people in this thread are only familiar with the American system and thus assume that “standardized tests” all have to be like the SAT, i.e. answering a ton of relatively basic multiple-choice questions as quickly and accurately as possible. That is not the case.

I worked in a small casino. The cockiest players were the Hold Em poker players. Most were in their 20s. They saw it as a skill not gambling and certainly not an addiction at least any I spoke to didnt.

The slots players were never satified. They were excited to spend $100 and win $10. Or win many small wins and play it all away since it wasn't real money to them. It was staggering at times to see people in one evening spend $100K casually and could no problems. Others not so much but the majority just dabbled.

I gave up computer gaming before the loot box trend. But I could see its popularity. I went back to school and many 18 - 25 year old guys talked about it constantly. It was very obvious in its popularity.

With slots just like US military training is stimulus response reward. I've been caught up in simple games from their hold a past time a dopamine rush. It's that 3% of people who can't turn it off that get hit the worst.
Confirmed in the UK
Small point: If you want to do Monte Carlo on an LP (linear program), then using the simplex algorithm, for the first Monte Carlo trial, go ahead and find the optimal solution. Then for the rest of the trials, start with the optimal solution, the basic variables, and the matrix inverse of the basis matrix and from those find the next optimal solution -- that solution will nearly always come quite quickly. So, you will be able to have a good collection of Monte Carlo trials for surprisingly little more computing than for the first optimal solution.
It's also worth noting that bambu are run by people who used to work at Dji, a company that made spy drones for several governments.
My recommendation would be using an old laptop you have laying around, or picking up a used Lenovo T series laptop for 300-400USD on ebay. Try to find a CPU with 10000+ score on cpubenchmark.net, and 16GB+ memory. Plug in whatever storage you want with USB.
I use mine as a desktop, TV, and router/access point. Apart from dhcp/DNS no services consistently hosted. It goes down every day or so.
I think some basic understanding helps, but the problem is to think that you need to master theory, especially esoteric scales, to be able to play. Jazz is more experimentation than anything else, you play what sounds good. Practicing scales and chords per se will not take you anywhere.
Because you need to maintain some pretense that Harvard grads aren’t incompetent. That’s also why they admit at least a few academically inclined students.
That's what I mean; it's often easier to use a font that doesn't have ligatures (like the NL variant) than to use a font with ligatures and hope your editor lets you disable ligatures.

> Apple has quite famously been very stingy in growth that way.

It's not that Apple was shrewder than others - it's just that since it is primarily a hardware business, Apples "Covid boom" was far smaller than the rest (online services). Meta, Amazon and Microsoft had massive growth due everyone being at home all the time (Nvidia took advantage of from supply-chain restrictions to increase margins, and non-covid-related crypto boom)
Lottery is a metric that can't be gamed, if implemented correctly. It may not ever be the best system, but it also can't end up being what was a better system that was gamed into a worst system. It provides a certain level of consistent mediocracy between various other systems which rise and fall as they are gamed.
I guess that also demonstrates just how flexible the framework is, though.
I think it applies most of the time, but some fields and academics (like Judith Butler to pick a famous example) seem to rejoice in the opposite, complicating your language to make your point more difficult to grasp. So I wouldn't be quick to generalise.

Not trying to come across as partisan by bringing up Butler's name. Here is another academic, Talal Asad, making the same point in an entirely different context that the writing style of academia tends towards unnecessary complexity:

"For some years I have been exercised by this puzzle. How is it that the approach exemplified by Gellner’s paper remains attractive to so many academics in spite of its being demonstrably faulty? Is it perhaps because they are intimidated by a style? We know, of course, that anthropologists, like other academics, learn not merely to use a scholarly language but to fear it, to admire it, to be captivated by it."
I switched to a trio of N95 mini PCs (two from Beelink, one I can't remember but was bought from Geekbuying. These plus some SSD upgrades (from 256->512 GB) and RAM (8->16GB) allows me to have a pretty cheap, very low power real "HA" setup. I run Rancher and k3s on it.

The N100 is slightly more expensive but also has an even lower TDP.

What's nice is that for software that can use an Intel iGPU for hardware video transcoding, these are more than powerful enough to do so and yet draw significantly less power than a full fat GPU. Unless you want to run an LLM or something like Stable Diffusion...
Thanks for the detailed response.

I don't buy that all science coming from 1/6th of the world (by population) will somehow surpass all the science coming from the other 5/6ths. The only way for Mandarin to rival English would be convincing non Chinese to use Mandarin. But I am glad to hear that China plans to begin developing its own science and tech.
You should have launched with integration. This is a waste of a launch.
I used to be a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. Their entire case is "it's not fair" in the absolute sense. That because some white folks descend from people who didn't have anything to do with slavery that all should be absolved from participating and benefitting from systemic racism.

It's not an intellectual argument. It's an argument from performative and wanton ignorance.
Playing games with micro transactions and not paying playing it wrong. The games are specifically designed such that not paying feels bad, but paying just a little gets you to enjoy it significantly more.

If a game includes micro transactions its most important goal is to get you to spend money once, that is the most important psychological barrier to overcome. And that is why many "free to play" games are unpleasant to play without paying money.

There are a few exceptions (Dota2, csgo, path of exile and sone more) but on mobile these are exceedingly rare and drowned out by games designed to get you to spend money.
> You just need to make sure the numbers work

The entire point of this thread is that universities aren't doing that, because they're accepting $100 million donations with quarter-billion dollar lifetime price tags tied with them.
Biomedical science is not self-correcting on any reasonable time scale. Ten to twenty year errors and distractions are common, and can have a huge direct and indirect cost. Alzheimer’s disease research and the APP mania is a case in point.
Vitalik Buterin is another famous example. He was a journalist (writing for Bitcoin Magazine) before he started Ethereum.

He (or his dad) said that they believed in writing as a way to clarify the mind. It seemed to work for Vitalik.
I second Synology NAS. Although the UX of running Nextcloud in docker was awful, I defaulted to using everything Synology has to offer instead of setting up OSS apps (Synology Photos instead of Nextcloud/ Photoprism etc). I run a few small side projects with cloudflared. Low power consumption, RAM can be upgraded, storage is almost infinite... Beware the CPU. If you plan to host something serious, it will probably become a bottleneck.
We have billions of records and fts still works on pg.
And now you have completely disqualified yourself.
I've been keen on a new TrueNAS Scale build very similar to the one showcased on LTT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO6DMWHK_HA

That's a full-custom build with a used AMD EPYC, Asrock Rack ROMED8-2T, and a boatload of HDDs, which fit great in a Fractal Design 7, which seems to match your desire for not-a-rack.
Whenever this obvious bs excuse is used, the glaring question becomes of why are Asians suppressed by it?

If it's about classically suppressed races and systematic racism, it's pretty hypocritical to be penalizing Asians. Especially when recent years have also seen a surge in people pretending to care about racism against Asians.
> It sounds like open-source hardware could have thrived if it weren't for China subsidizing local companies and enforcing bad IP claims for its domestic companies (which was really IP stolen from other countries but filed for patent first in China by Chinese companies).

The problem is rather the customers who buy China stuff instead of products from companies from western countries.
I recently replaced an old, power hungry 2U server with a laptop.

I wanted a NUC, but as it turns out a used laptop on Ebay could fetch the same specs (i7-1185G7, 16gb) for less than half the price of the equivalent NUC (without an SSD or memory).

An added bonus is you get a UPS and KVM included!
1 in 5 New Yorkers may be drinking water from lead pipes, new report says
The main value I say in it was that our company has some regulatory obligations to:

- Maintain documented requirements for ALL CODE FUNCTIONALITY
- Maintain tests for ALL REQUIREMENTS
- Be able to produce reports for auditors that prove linkage between the requirements and the tests (to prove that all requirements were tested)

In this context, Cucumber was really nice since it automatically solved all three of these at once! For general testing purposes, though, I think Cucumber has too much overhead for it to be worth using...
