It is not a virtue to be very loud about your research when you don't have the receipts to back it up. Material science just had a huge to-do about this with LK-99. People who are serious about finding extraterrestrial life don't make so much noise as Loeb - because there's not much to tell.

But the progress is actually tremendous. With the JWST we've been able to identify a chemical reaction in the atmosphere of a planet outside our solar system for the first time. We've recently "mapped" a planet outside our solar system for the first time (granted, the map was 1 pixel, identifying one part of the planet as darker than another).

This is the kind of work that could potentially identify extraterrestrial life. It's entirely possible (dare I say likely? That's a lay opinion to be clear) that we are, right now, gathering the data that will result in the first detection of extraterrestrial life (to be clear, I mean more along the lines of "extraterrestrial trees" than "little green men"). But it's slow, methodical work. And it could easily take several more decades.
Not on an airline, but in a movie theater: I was sitting in a pre-purchased, assigned aisle seat in an auditorium with about 4 other souls present. I had commandeered the seat next to me and laid down my hat, phone, food and drink.

Well an old lady on her own comes right up to me, a little before the film starts, and she indicates that's her seat. So I thought, okay weird, she purchased a seat right next to an occupied one? Whatever. So I bail out all my stuff and I just lay it on the ground. She seems apologetic.

Then like 10 minutes later, her husband shows up, sits two seats away, and tells her she sat in the wrong seat. LOL! ... I did not return my belongings to the cursed seat. Also, it turned out to be a cursed and blasphemous film, one of the worst I've ever seen.
As a relatively uninvested onlooker with regards to “NATO bad/good” (but heavily leaning to “bad”): I found this to be a surprisingly compelling counter argument to the anti-NATO messaging on James Baker making false promises regarding expansion etc.

Just wanted to give props to a well-crafted argument - even if I’m a bit irked for apparently getting caught in the “countries act like people” cognitive shortcut that usually drives me nuts when it’s about economics.
I'm ambivalent towards this issue and I can't say I have a definite answer (and I'm also someone who thinks threats of violence should carry far far harsher penalties, just think of DV for example), however: that logic doesn't hold. You can certainly define when threats or other speech constitute violence. Just as brandishing a gun and threatening to shoot is not violence in the strictest sense of the word but it is violence for all intents and purposes. Just as burning crosses in front of the house of a black family. Of course these are the clear cut examples and leave no margin for error, the majority of situations are much more ambiguous, and there I agree we should tend to err on the side of caution.
Cool they are doing this. How do you plan to make money on the deposit rates you have to pay to attract cash? Will you do lending via API as well?

My IP address leaks to every website I visit. Skype leaking it to someone I'm talking to doesn't really seem like a concern. If it mattered, I'd be using a VPN.
> I’m in my first month on the standard plan, 20 days in, and I’m at 287 searches.

The 300 searches/month is typical for the general populace, who mostly stay in mobile mode(fb/tiktok/youtube/tumblr etc.) and occasionally open a browser to typein a website in search engine to visit it.

Sadly, from my best guess, these users will never pay for a search engine and they are not tech savvy enough to even find kagi. The professional one is targetted at tech savvy people who frequently uses searches on daily basis to find things. The basic $5/month one is sort of trial equivalent.

P.S. anyone claiming to be never crossing the 300/month quota is probably not searching enough not only on Kagi but in all other ones(excluding Google, where you need to seatch thrice to find anything these days). Entirely my opinion and I am sure, I am very wrong.
OpenDOAS has actually had the OpenBSD-specific code removed (https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas/commit/74449f015ff7a7230...), and replaces some of the doas mechanisms that rely upon OpenBSD to work with sudo-like flag files and suchlike.

There are, moreover, 2 ports of doas to other systems. OpenDOAS is one. Jesse Smith's https://github.com/slicer69/doas is the other. The latter retains the OpenBSD-specific code, and is the more portable of the two at the expense of only doing everything that the tool is capable of when actually built on OpenBSD.

So? What’s your point? They have a choice - either rto or find another faang job (and likely rto as well). Or adjust their salary expectations. It’s not like it’s given that faang people are entitled to the similar level of compensation because they’re faang people, no?
You host death threats and leaked PII, and the forum owner explicitly encourages his followers to harass specific people he has a personal grudge against. He names entire sections of his forums after his victims and encourages people to post about his victims. You're lying. He's not running a neutral operation and neither are you.

The forum doxes employees of their hosting providers. Even Russian hosters terminated kiwifarms. Russians don't even terminate malware. You are dishonest to argue that this is about free speech.

Even the EFF acknowledges the activity on your forum is illegal and called on the cops to prosecute. it means the EFF won't protect kiwifarms when the cops come for you and Josh.
Good for you but many don’t. Most people I know use Anaconda and install things with Conda
In my experience, one is unlikely to remember how many times a piece of code is being copy-pasted, unless they are doing it in the same coding session. Everyone copy-pastes, thinking that they'll DRY the next time and the codebase turns into a mess.
Citation needed. Huge sparse graphs can be processed fairly efficiently on both CPU's and GPU's, but the code has to be written with the architecture in mind.

I disagree.

The entire impetus behind getting Kiwi Farms removed from Cloudflare, having their domains revoked, having their phone numbers and registered agents cancel service, attempting to blackhole them from the Internet, etc. is that they are literally the worst website, so there is no need to feel bad or give them a fair "trial".

If such outrage can be wielded to completely deplatform Kiwi Farms extrajudicially, it sets a terrifying precedent for the future.
We all know that rule essentially just means don't shit where you eat. But keep sharing "public information" here!

If Josh wants to obscure the purpose of his website behind legal technicalities, he can do that. Doesn't change the purpose of the website.

Gotta love unsubstantiated paradigm-destroying claims thrown in casually at the tail end of papers...
You seem to think we should copy Russia's strategy of scattering swarms of drones across the territory of their enemy. These 'kamikaze' drones are highly damaging and dangerous to civilian life.

Maybe the US military should focus on how the heck we can defend against these vast swarms of kill bots, instead of flooding the skies with more and more AI death squads.

Edit: and to people pessimistically saying that the US military doesn't prioritize civilian lives... I think we'd agree that should change
Even better, add doas-sudo-shim to your system packages and disable sudo:

One idea:

$1.1 billion dollars will buy around that many watts of installed solar, at today's prices. Vastly more in another decade.

No, it is not "best practice" to use a barely tested module with half the bugs affecting its main functionality just because someone thinks it is

Unfortunately package abandonment is a thing and they don't even bother fixing needed bugs (which, coupled with 'the urge to deprecate' makes things annoying)

Wish so much Hammer2 comes to it because OpenBSD innovates so much but their file system is lacking.

There is an attempt to port DragonflyBDS Hammer2, and hope OpenBSD accepts it.

Except until forced to, the Tesla default nag mode was "one alert per fifteen MINUTES".

All their marketing (I'm sorry, I forgot, Tesla doesn't do marketing) is all about the safety of FSD/AP and their vehicles in general. The reality is very much "we have to be dragged kicking and screaming into most safety improvements".
Thanks. I'd assumed he was going for the humble, ascetic, "I don't need much" intent, but I should have known that isn't Bharatiyar's style! Asking for 1.32 acres fits better with the rest of the poem where Bharati doesn't hold back from expressing his (pretty reasonable) wants.
Any revolution that involves burning any institutions to the ground in this country is very likely to be a fascist one (and will be quite happy to keep all those DNA profiles).
i doubt 80% figure. Email is constant source of abuse and requires additional infrastructure so more and more indie products are sticking to social logins only.
> Attempting to equate this with child porn (yes, call it what it is rather than the euphemism-du-jour CSAM)

The reason the world has moved on from calling it "child porn" is

- because the world has generally moved on from thinking consensual pornography is always morally indefensible

- because consensual pornography is generally legal

- and so because "porn" doesn't truly describe what is happening

It's not a euphemism. It's a clarification. A minority of pornography with adults involves abuse. But _all_ of the material you think should not be "euphemistically" called CSAM intrinsically involves abuse.

The Kobo I have actually comes with an official Pocket integration out of the box! I can save articles to Pocket and read them on my e-reader.

And considering that Pocket supports highlighting things in articles, and Kobo supports highlighting things in books, I should be able to highlight articles as well, right? Nope!

What makes some choice, any choice, a discrimination? What makes a discrimination a caste discrimination?

Imagine a scenario where someone, say, A accuses of his/her higher ups for a caste discrimination. Here, A is denied a promotion, or given average rating in perf reviews, or given average bonus/stock refresh, or is not put on a nice project. Here, A can accuse of his/her boss of caste discrimination, as long as A and A's boss are Indians, even though A's boss never ever broached about A's caste.

Haven't we seen situations where people are denied promotions, are not given great rating, are not given great bonuses? Of course, if X is a minority, and X's boss is white, one can accuse X's boss of racism. What if X and X's bosses are Chinese? What if companies implement curving for ratings and bonuses? After all, some people in the group can always complain about some or another discrimination, even though curving imposes choices.
I've possibly seen some of your breakage with Sharepoint, while supporting an integration product between Excel and some enterprise systems.

Does the problem persist if you ensure the other source files are open before opening "report file"?

If opening the files in the right order solves it, then it may be possible to script this in Excel or in an Excel add-in (optionally, signed).

The wildfire mentioned in the article:

Of course, listing land area does not quantify the actual damage/impact, and Greece is a much smaller country. But for comparison:

California's largest wildfire: 1+ million acres

2020 California wildfires (total): 4.4 million acres

2023 Canadian wildfires (total): 37.6 million acres and counting

Either you're trolling or your comprehension is just totally off, but to reiterate the original point was that making breakthroughs in sciences often requires "leaps of faith", which are near impossible to do if you're a textbook rationalist.

OpenBSD: Game of Trees 0.92 Released
There have been a lot of environmental critiques of this particular nuclear power plant. They largely center on wastewater from the plant (which is warm, and rich in Tritium), as well as the risks posed by the potential of a strong, shallow earthquake in the vicinity of the plant.
Great summary of the field and very well written. Particularly:

>The second formerly useful proto-paradigm is something like “situations matter.” This idea maintains that people's contexts have immense power over their behavior, and the strongest version maintains that the only difference between sinners and saints is their situations. The most famous psychology studies of all time are “situations matter” studies: the Milgram shock experiments, the Asch conformity studies, the bystander effect, the Stanford Prison Experiment (since revealed to be much more of a scripted play than a study). The now-much-ridiculed “social priming” studies, like the one where you unscramble words about being old and then walk more slowly, are also “situations matter” studies. So are “nudges,” where tiny changes in situations bring big changes in behavior, like redoing the layout of a cafeteria to encourage people to eat more veggies.

Does anyone know any good situationist studies aside from the big names?

It did corner the market for "no extra brackets needed just in case people want to treat code as data which most people don't want to".
I think it's just best to call out BS when it pops up. That would have put a stop to this before it ruined everything. Cooperation is good, but people need to be told they are wrong. It's ok to be wrong. Everyone makes mistakes.
You do usually, but with a gas combi boiler. Electric showers aren't that common in the UK either (23 years here and never seen one in person; but had never heard of them before moving here...), and usually a hack when putting a shower somewhere that didn't previously have plumbing.
It makes me so happy that Chevy decided to no longer discontinue the Bolt. I’m both poor and currently very happy with my current car (ford cmax). But once this guy’s life is over, I’m looking to a bolt next. Or if Tesla has the rumored Model 2 out by then I’ll consider that as well.
This sounds like an idea without any real data. For people to prefer one they had to try both and I guess especially data science people just took the most common language in their field.

People seem to forget or miss that it took many, many years for Python to become popular outside data science. If it had just been clearly better or easier that transition should have gone much faster.

As someone else mentioned, at one point universities started using Python as an introduction language. I am still sad that they did not choose Ruby or js but here we are.

Definitely. Forgot to mention this one. I remember running scripts through the IDLE till I learnt how to run stuff in the command prompt. So darn friendly.

It's not really a "port" but there was a sort of translation layer for classic MacOS Toolbox by the Lattitude Group(?)

I don't know the details, but there I believe there was a source-level translator and a binary-interpreter type thing. One of these was used for the Unix ports of Photoshop/Illustrator. It translated Mac Toolkit calls to Motif/Unix calls.

http://preserve.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.13/13.06/Ju...
Author here, the phrase "generated" was the wrong choice of word here. These translations are manually translated by humans in another systems and consolidated into these .xlf files so they're dependent on what the original strings are in code at a specific commit. They cannot be generated on the fly
Not only math/academia, but nearly everywhere. As python started coming pre-installed on MacOS and was a lot easier than fumbling with shell scripts, a lot of scripts were being written to automate boring stuff. Also, the hidden beast is Django and Flask, which are also being commonly used by both serious and non-serious folks, overall increasing the userbase.

Also python is less verbose(compared to Java, C#, Scala, JavaScript pre-ES6 etc.) in terms of syntax, so it is much easier to learn and can do both OOP and Functional, while being easier to adapt(no compiler, easy installation, lots of popular libraries), hence academia picked it up. Also, python has built-in parallel processing features which are less daunting(in terms of concepts and syntax) than other competitors(C++/Java etc).

See the popularity of Go, same thing happened with Python.

* Meta's products are generally higher tech than people give them credit for. They have a lot invested in having great image and video tech.

* At the scale Meta is at, and at the margins they can operate at, R&D is a valid use funds. Apple has revenue at ~80B/yr. Microsoft have revenue of ~60B/yr. Meta has revenue at ~30B/yr. No one raises an eyebrow when Microsoft announces some go-no-where R&D project.

* I think there might be a Meta bias towards anything with the word "tracking" in it.
The US military is retooling to confront China in the Western Pacific theater. They need drones with sufficient range to fly from US and allied bases in the region to Taiwan. Those won't be cheap. The battle space is completely different from what you see in Ukraine.
You'll notice that agitprop often assigns or denies agency in a convenient way.

The US is supposed to have agency and bad intent.

Ukraine has no agency.

Russia is just acting reactively to provocations.

See also wife beater logic.
The translations are dependent on the original strings that is in code. For example if we change "design anything" to "design everything", the translations also needs to be updated to reflect that and by keeping it within vcs, we have an atomic change including both code, copy and translation. Moving it to a database would make updates easier but would now be a separate process to "sync" between copy change in code and translation changes in the database
From the perspective of the person being harassed, what difference does this make?
I don’t think this is really bloat.

Opentype supported ligatures in ‘96. Postscript Type 1 and even Knuth’s TeX supported ligatures to a certain extent.

It’s a pretty standard base-level feature for any sort of typesetting.

Imo this is akin to making a terminal animation by outputting blocks of ascii art. It’s not that terminals added video playback support— which would be bloat—but instead someone pushed a standard feature to a novel extent.
Yes. As much as I am a proponent of nuclear power, the proposed grant does not make sense to me - what exactly do they need this kind of money for?

Operational expenses of properly built & operated nuclear plants are very low, which is the whole point. If there's a billion dollars required to keep it running, despite high energy prices in the state, something is very wrong.
People think of Google, not Alphabet; of Facebook, not Meta. The headline identifies the brand familiar to millions.
