Look at the big warning there: https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-explorer/wiki/bx-se...

He's right.
economy is crashing and not enough jobs so everyone has gone on sick benefits. It's arguably better to have a bit less income per week but have all your own time to prioritise your life/health balance than it is to be a gig economy worker with low pay and high workload. Simples.
That video was so obviously not LK-99 I doubt anyone sane was fooled by it (anybody who has played with magnets knows that’s how ferrous metal hangs off of them).

We’ve seen proper levitation of specks that hasn’t been falsified yet.

That said, I believe theory has shown it’s actually possible for a diamagnetic object to fully levitate over a magnet as long as it’s light enough, but unlike a flux-pinned superconductor, it will only levitate over the center of the magnet, as is happening in all the levitation videos.
I'm not sure how to communicate this more clearly. I'll try one last time.

My only question to you is this, you said:

"The FDA mostly harms the population by not approving drugs fast enough."

Do you have a source that says on the whole the FDA harms more people by not approving drugs more quickly, MORE than any safety added by this process.

Please note this would mean a citation that has looked at MANY approvals and timelines while ALSO looking at rejections for potential harm and concluding that the process is more harmful than beneficial.

To explain to you why yours is insufficient, even if we accept that this ONE example has caused harms you have not addressed any potential safety issues that have been prevented in OTHER therapeutics by the long process, this may in fact be zero or less than the harms caused by delays but requires evaluation in order to draw the conclusion you are making.
Similarly how many security features work, it doesn't have to be 100% (or it may even be impossible to make it 100%), it just has to be good enough/make the attack expensive enough to deter it. There aren't really any easy task left for humans that a suitably trained ML algorithm couldn't do, and anything more complex would just annoy people. Even if there is such a task, the line moves quickly -- back then reading some colored digits from an image was unfeasibly hard/expensive for bots. Nowadays your phone extracts text from your images in the background.

In this vein, anything requiring ML/expensive computation is still a worthwhile addition, as today the primary purpose of a CAPTCHA is to slow down/rate limit bot-activity. Your single server use case is not really realistic -- it can be easily reverted (it won't come from 3600 IP addresses, otherwise the rate would be much lower), and 3600 times an hour is.. not a lot for a computer. So it seems to do its job well.
The software workaround for the FDIV bug required the actual userspace software to be modified and recompiled. There was a decade of pre-existing software out there that would be hard to fix, especially in the days before most people had the internet.

There was nothing the OS could do to work around the bug, short of disabling the entire FPU and falling back to expensive software emulation of all floating point math.

The workarounds for all these speculation bugs can be mostly applied at the operating system and/or microcode level, and is comparably cheap.

It is interesting to me that so many are hung up on form factor. It is like is has gotta look like a traditional NYC or London subway train (complete with gum stuck under the seat I expect) or it can't possibly be any good. It should just be about speed and amortized cost per unit distance.

Really? The structure is almost an exact replica of my post. The wording of the first paragraph and the text before the list is also very, very similar.

I thought this was a direct response to my post.
This is completely and utterly wrong. Psychiatric treatment varies in effectiveness, but there are drugs like lithium which have a fast and marked effect on the diseases they treat (e.g. Bipolar disorder, a crippling illness if left untreated). Depression drugs are less effective overall than other psychiatric illnesses, but even these have proven clinical effects in huge double-blind trials.

You really should read up on the literature, or hang around some people with serious mental health problems before spewing such garbage.
You'd think so, but it's a con.
Even OpenSUSE, my favorite which isn't even mentioned in the article, is far from there. Even if you just install the defaults, let a few months pass and boot into it again, there's 3 million updates with tons of conflicts, not always resolvable. Every. Single. Time.

3 years ago I tried out a bunch of the pre-installed(!) KDE themes, and one left me with black text on a black background. It took me so much googling and swearing to find out what file I had to change or delete (don't recall which it was) to get back to something usable.

A distro that is made to be resilient and simple, that has wizards for everything, sensible defaults and sturdy guardrails, to the point Linux pros would turn up their nose, is certainly technically possible. I think it's a matter of hundreds of groups doing their own thing and being unable to come together to make it, because they can never agree how to implement $thing, nevermind hundreds of $things. Everybody knows better and in the end all go home empty-handed, left to roll their eyes at lusers using Windows or Apple. At least from the outside, that how it seems to me.

Prove me wrong, please. I beg of you.
It helps with discovery. Arguably they could just move to locking the comments on all posts about articles.

Some people might say “don’t attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence” but introducing bugs via bribing an insider or even getting one of your people a job at Intel or AMD would be a very clever way to give yourself the keys to (nearly) all the castles.

My personal conclusion is to never work under management who are not software engineers themselves. All my bosses understand what building great software entails since they could do it themselves. So what I do to improve qualiry has always their backing. And nobody can BS them into some nonsense.
Python inports collect the locals in the "module script" and store them in a module object, which is then made available to the module that ran `import`. That module object is cached, so reimporting the module another time will not run the code again.

`source` is much more primitive.

In most corporate environments there is uniformity in platforms used so if windows is used which is the case with most corporations it's a non issue and especially because teams is included in the office 365 subscription those companies just use teams.

At that point, you have a digital fax machine that prints out a message when you you dial it.

Which beckons the question: does anyone know of or remember an automated system like this, where you rang a number and it would ring your fax machine back with a document? I like to imagine I could have made my millions on 'dial-a-newspaper' back in the 90s!

Indeed. Not just shared, but shared across security domains, e.g. across OS processes, or across the kernel / userspace boundary.

Speculating within one security domain would not be problematic, because anything such speculation allows to glean is already accessible normally. This is sort of similar to having a single reference to a mutable object, which is also safe.

Doubtful depending on which desert. Many deserts have very unique and endangered wildlife.
There are no easy/non-annoying tasks left that could easily differentiate between a human and a bot, and any that may exist will only work for a short time. The only thing left, as mentioned, is to move the price point for an automated attack: I'm sure creating a fake account on your site is not worth, say, 1000$ for those 1000 accounts. Remember, a troll can also register by hand 10-20 accounts, with any kind of captcha, so it's not zero sum either.

Everybody has time to write an automated test. If you don't, then you don't have time to write code in the first place.

That's the difference between professional software engineering and just hacking something quick in your free time.

You wouldn't ride a motorbike at 150mph on a German autobahn if it was put together by your neighbor with parts from a junkyard in an afternoon. Unclear to me why you'd treat software any different.
Wait, do you have those reversed? Lightning cables have zero moving parts. The clips and other bits and bobs are in the phone. USBC is reversed, so that, with USBC, most failures mean replacing the cable, not the phone.
There are several forms of documentation:

* comments in code
* team-based comments
* project design docs
* knowledge-base articles for handling on-call rotation around feature
* how-to guides for customers

Each of these has a different cost and a different direct/external usefulness. I absolutely believe in good documentation and I absolutely believe that it's valuable. It does not negate the extra cost of including these forms of documentation - especially the "not-in-code" documentation.
Yes, it has full interactivity support: https://p5js.org/learn/interactivity.html

P5 has an imperative/immediate mode style of graphics API so you have to code the result of your interactivity (moving a point, etc.) yourself. Something like three.js, which has a full scene graph for rendering and interactivity, might be a better choice if you want a lot of interactivity out of the box.

I'm kinda scratching my head at g9 as it seems to be a mish mash of scene graph that's implicitly generated and imperative rendering APIs. It's not exactly clear to me why you'd want this mix except for very specific scenarios the author created support for with their implicit scene graph generation for interactivity.

In my mind you either want something that's like three.js with a full scene graph style of rendering and interactivity, or a p5 style imperative API for both. This seems to be some in-between thing to scratch some itches.
The problem with Cloudflare is they purposely attempt to break user privacy by dangling websites as carrots. It's deception that they are attempting to determine if the person is human or not, because often they won't even show you the CAPTCHA. Even if you do get to the CAPTCHA, sucessfully doing it usually won't give you access to the website either. So, what is the point?

They want people to disable any privacy protections or push usage of browsers that have no to less privacy protections, in order to access the website they are blocking. This has nothing to do with if a user is an actual threat or bot, but is more a strategy to shape what browsers are used and destroy user privacy.

Cloudflare is also very aware of the numerous and constant complaints about what they are doing, coming from users and for years. They are ignored, because they have something else in mind.
I have been feeling this for a while now. It’s like the army of eager labor, the ranks of managers who derive value from larger work forces, and sick amount of VC money, has really eclipsed emphases on various axes of efficiency seeking that used to dominate the industry (often in overrated/oversold ways admittedly). Remember when “tech stack X enabled you to do y per coney more with z fewer developers?
And there's some really nice content on the platform which other platforms just lack. Considering how much Youtube I watch for free and how much I pay Netflix for not a whole lot of good content, I think Youtube is somewhat getting a rough deal here. But it is what it is. I'm actually considering cancelling Netflix. Their content has gone down the drain in the last years and I spend an order of magnitude more time watching Youtube content at this point.

Content creators on the other hand seem to be doing fine in Youtube. This is what matters to me. I follow about 120 channels and a few dozen of those are very active and getting lots of sponsorship deals. Several of the wonderful people I follow seem to be getting a full time salary out of their activities while maintaining good production quality.

The endless promotion of a handful of the same companies sponsoring their content on these channels is a bit weird but I just fast forward through that with the arrow keys. These companies seem to be spending a lot on Youtube marketing, which I guess is working for them. And I get some satisfaction out of watching stupid VC cash being funneled into the pockets of people I actually care about. At least it looks to me like VC funded companies buying traffic by spending their investment like this. Old trick in the valley that makes the investment portfolio look healthier than it is. Whatever it is, thank you! I never see ads on Youtube because ublock origin doesn't let any of those through. Works really well. Hence I'm not paying for a premium account (yet).

Yes Youtube recommendations kind of suck. Don't they all? Glorified more of the same shit dressed up as machine learning snake oil. Very hard to escape the recommendation bubble of stuff I've already seen and stuff I'm never going to watch no matter how often Google recommends it. I mostly just watch my subscription feed instead. Which is just stuff I follow in order it gets published. Exactly the way I like it.

Honestly, It's not like Amazon, Spotify, Netflix, etc. have much better recommendation algorithms. This whole space seems to have hit a local optimum about ten years ago where it drives enough of their business that they stopped trying to improve it. All the generative AI stuff that people are talking about lately isn't being applied for recommendations yet. I suspect, Google has actually reduced investments in this team years ago. It's been sort of a constant and I've not really noticed any changes in the quality of the recommendations. It was bad five years ago and it still is in more or less the same way.
Why do you ask the same questions twice to build your modules. That's the problem here.
>In most corporate environments there is uniformity in platforms

Not if you're interviewing candidates using video-chat. What's the company supposed to do, FedEx overnight a company laptop to the candidate just for doing a video interview?

>Does the browser version work well on macos?

In my experience, no. It consumes all the CPU.
It's shockingly true. I don't think any solid numbers are available on how common it is, but it at least appears to be relatively common in out of hospital births (and is becoming a trend).

> This relatively modern phenomenon is practiced predominantly by white, middle class, married women in the global North, and has grown rapidly since the 1970s

> Whilst prevalence is difficult to estimate, placentophagy is known to be practiced in North America, Oceania and Europe, plus parts of Latin America, the Middle East and Asia and is apparently growing in popularity. In a 2018 study of a medical records dataset for births outside of hospitals containing 23,242 birth events in the United States, 30.8% of mothers consumed their placenta. From 2009 to 2015 Google searches for “placenta encapsulation” increased 100-fold.

The article discusses presenter mental health quite a lot. Discovery would be pretty partial if they did readonly, they kind of needed input/feedback to shop the "is this interesting" and "what haven't we considered" angles. Problem is the cost of moderation I think: it just moves who has the mental health problem around, it never goes away.

There's a pretty vile undercurrent in the socials. Major league trolling, down personal. "we know where you live" is bad enough in my opinion.
Google says AI systems should be able to mine published work unless they opt out
We have moved the artists up in part from animation to puppeteering (mocap). The next step is to move up to directing.

Allow the artist to interact with scene objects/characters as a director would. This requires what I used to refer to as "intelligent objects" back in the 80's. You would give directions and the object would figure out what it needed to do and how it would move.

So there would be a higher level of conversation with the 3D entities than "Set rotation keyframe."
> When someone stores their MFA credential in a password manager, that only means that in the worst case, they are as insecure as someone with no MFA – right?

Even if this was right (which I don't think it is under the threat model described by the OP: they claim, rightpy or wrongly, that the attack surface somehow increases when everybody adopts MFA), consider the protocol where you have to enter your password and cut off a lock of hair to authenticate. In the worst case, this is as insecure as someone who just enters their password without any hair cutting, but doesn't mean that adopting it would not be a big problem, or even a good thing overall (at the very least it would massively inconvenience bald people; there are parallels, it's not like MFA does not inconvenience certain people).
Definitely. Much of this can be mitigated by using a shared target directory, which is at least somewhat supported in Cargo. I should probably start doing that and promote it at work if I don't run into any problems.

Some clever garbage collection would help, too, but I imagine different people would have different and very strong opinions about how that should work.

The fact that two projects that use the same library may enable different features also complicates things. Again, a of this can be mitigated.

I'm looking for a step change for application development, though — i.e. not 5 minute build reduced to 2 minutes, but 5 minutes reduced to 5 seconds (and a correspondingly tiny target directory). That's what excites me about WASI in this context at least.

Leaving WASI aside for a minute, I do wonder how much more could be saved in local disk space and compilation time across projects (and hosts, a la sccache) if this was a high priority goal for the Rust project. E.g. even if the MIR for a crate with two different sets of feature flags enabled ends up substantially different, would they still compress well against each other if a lot remained common?
"When someone interacts with the graphics, for example by trying to drag an element to a new position, g9 optimizes over the space of possible values for your data to find a set of values that comes closest to creating the change."

This clearly isn't trying to be Processing. Obviously it's not revolutionary in terms of being productive, but it's a super cool concept and seems unique to me! The dragon example is particularly telling. You can grab any node and it tries to fit the fractal to wherever you move it.

Stating with confidence that anything has been conclusively shown about it is a sign you’re arguing from a position not based on evidence.

There simply is not enough evidence to say anything yet. Claiming there is means you either don’t understand it or are willfully misrepresenting it. Either way: no.
By having modern tooling to program GPGPU, allowing several languages to target them instead of plain C dialect, IDE and graphical debuggers to track down issues on GPGPU just like on the CPU, and a myriad of good quality libraries.

Meanwhile Intel and AMD, never delivered something at the same level as CUDA for OpenCL, and when they finally decided to react with SPIR and C++, everyone was already too busy to care, and it isn't as if the tooling has improved that much.

Hence why OpenCL 3.0 is basically OpenCL 1.0 rebranded.
