Planting hedgerows and wildflower strips within or around orchards can provide habitats for predators of apple maggots, such as ladybugs and parasitic wasps. These predators help control the pest population. This involves providing suitable habitats and avoiding the use of broad-spectrum pesticides that harm beneficial insects.

Additionally, avoiding monoculture orchards and incorporating diverse trees, such as oak, known for enhancing biodiversity, could be beneficial.
You were too late ;), by the time ATA/133 was standard almost all drives supported (Ultra)DMA which meant the host CPU didn't have to 'bit bang' the data anymore.
The fastest drives (Seagate Cheetah) did 15K RPM which reduced access time noticeably. Also made a noise like a jet engine though.
> 2016 – Apple hides option to allow unsigned apps from the Mac GUI.

Are you referring to System Settings? There was always a more convenient option which continues to work: right-click and select “Open”. Granted, you have to know that’s a solution and most people don’t (including developers, who recommend cumbersome methods in the documentation of their own apps), but the option was never removed nor is it hard to do.

Some of the arguments aren't actually Olympian, although if you have a pre-existing bias against commerce or capitalism it may feel that way.

Most obvious example query of where PageRank totally fails: [flowers]. The correct top result here for 99.9% of searchers is a local flower shop or possibly a big flower delivery chain, but it's not the Wikipedia page for flowers. Likewise for [hotel near me] which an algorithm like PageRank will yield garbage for, [oppenheimer showtimes] and many other very popular query types.

Link based ranking just doesn't work for this sort of result. You need data that isn't on the web which means you then need a way to rank it. And how exactly do you plan to rank flower shops or movie theatres? You've got no data on which to do that. Even if they have a website at all (big if) people don't organically link to them. Attempts to gain ranking data via things like user reviews will fail, almost nobody real reviews local stores or cinemas so if you rely on that then either you'll be flooded with fake reviews, or companies will aggressively push people to write them, or both, and users hate both outcomes.

Ad auctions work much better. Users don't have to do anything directly, they just buy things from the best businesses as they see it, revenue flows to those businesses enabling them to bid higher for ads, so users see the most successful businesses as determined by the market as a whole, which is much harder to game than user reviews or PageRank.

When the original Google was built, it was built by students. Their first ever test query was the name of the guy who ran the university. Their edge was ranking publicly available web pages using link graphs, so they just weren't thinking about commercial queries at all and if that's the scope of your ambition then yeah it will look like ads are always a conflict of interest because the only model you can imagine is re-ranking organic informational results surreptitiously. Once they turned on their first search backend deal and got experience running a search engine with serious non-nerd user traffic for the first time, they realized there were tons of popular queries that their whole approach just sucked at and would always suck at. That's when they realized that in some cases "ads are information", as they put it.

That wasn't some sort of paycheque-induced intellectual blindness, if it was then Google would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. It was an actual fundamental realization about the nature of what people use search engines for.
I don't think that will be enough to stop ads there, given that $2k+ smart TVs are blotted with permanent factory ads now.
It's funny as i only use my laptop for work and then seeing on the other side all those colleagues with 4 monitors and fully customized split mech keyboards on a layout i've never heard of. We must be living in a different world.
Thanks for pointing it out. The website is rather opaque with respect to funding.
It looks that both associations are non-profits, with a lot of students, scientists, professors and professionals. This does not seem incompatible with their grassroots claims, but they really need to clarify funding and expenses of this new group.

This does not invalidate IPCC or JRC reports on nuclear power, nor the scientific papers, or the fact that there are various pro-nuclear environmental movements and political parties that are transparent about their funding and relations. Nuclear is more popular between younger people that are more worried about climate change than the effects of Chernobyl nowadays.
> Right now the immigration system for technically minded immigrants makes no sense. Rather than providing a path to citizenship, the US is sending some of the most talented individuals back to their old countries, where they’ll be developing the economy of those countries rather than that of the US. It’s a terrible strategy that any country not hindered by two year election cycle myopia would rectify.

It's terrible for the US but at least in terms of fairness to the societies who trained, and exported these minds it's pretty damn good.

The US companies extract the value they need/want from these individuals, after their tenure they go back and help to develop their societies which paid for their education/training. It's fair enough, the US is a place for business, that's just business.

I wouldn't know how you would be able to present evidence of this, but the economic realities of liberals arts and niche fields of research is a pretty well known circumstance.

Funding arctic expeditions and research tends to be easier if you find some man-eating killer penguins that were frozen in the ice and now resurface due to climate change. Getting funding is politics and politics needs to make headlines.

Since headlines do get more sensationalist due to the attention economy, it could be concluded that scientific claims have to follow the trend.

The example given about the iron inventions was likewise asserted without evidence and purely from conjecture (at least that is how it is described). This is no empirical evidence to prove a systemic effect, but nevertheless interesting.
I'm a huge fan of the Goldtouch V1 keyboard. I have been using it along with their fantastic pads my entire career. I have accumulated a surplus of these keyboards as I intend to use them until I'm unable to type.

I discovered them when I started my first job at HP-UX in Cupertino, CA and a bunch of people there were using them.

I also switched to Dvorak a few years before than.

I don't like their V2 offering, as an emacs user the caps lock key is gimped and I don't need the windows key near the ctrl / alt keys.
Isn't it a bit too early to reason about it? We are not sure yet of the extent of its impact, there is a lot of hype around it recently. I'm not diminishing it, just saying we will be able to tell better once things settle down.
I have never considered the idea that native apps can be objectively evil. Thinking about it, it has its merits. Consider a smartphone with only a web browser which doesn’t support WASM and Web Workers, but supports installable PWAs.

* The tasks one strictly needs in a smartphone does not require intensive computing, the kind not possible already with JS. Games do. Banking, govt services, online shopping, messaging applications don’t. Name me one such application.

* Applications would consume far less power without compiled binaries or WASM, and without being able to run in the background. This would greatly extend battery life.

* All applications would be properly sandboxed with a permissions model and source-code inspectable.
> as long as the two classes can be separated by an SVM.

Are the classes separable with e.g. the intertwined spiral dataset in the TensorFlow demo? Maybe only with a radial basis function kernel?

Separable state
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separable_state :

> In quantum mechanics, separable states are quantum states belonging to a composite space that can be factored into individual states belonging to separate subspaces. A state is said to be entangled if it is not separable. In general, determining if a state is separable is not straightforward and the problem is classed as NP-hard.

An algorithm may converge upon the same wrong - or 'high error' - answer; regardless of a random seed parameter.

It looks like there is randomization for SVMs for e.g. Platt scaling [1], though I had confused Simulated Annealing with SVMs. And then re-read Quantum Annealing; what is the ground state of the Hamiltonian any why would I use a hyperplane instead?

Is there some sort of objectic measurement for dramatic storitelling you miss? Isn't enough considering this piece what it is as an educated speculation on what has happened here?

> Bulstrode hasn’t yet responded to Jelf or Howes in public, but it’s hard to see how her paper can be creditably defended.

> I doubt that Bulstrode set out to deceive.

No, I think she did. If your intentions are good, you would address the concerns and correct the record. Those around her have a _duty_ to strongly encourage her to do so, otherwise they are complicit.

> It’s one thing for a young and passionate academic to make mistakes; it’s quite another for a series of experienced academics to let her make them.

The reason these other experienced academics are onboard is because it fits a narrative that has involved rewriting history in front of our very eyes. You just need to take a quick look at the language used, it has swallowed academia.

To get grants in academia now (particularly in some spaces), you have to justify how it will have some form of social justice impact. The work itself could be completely abstract, but now the results are tainted by the lens you were forced to put on the work in order to receive funding. I am not surprised for example that a University funded a history paper that showed Jamaican metallurgists used ancient black magic, but it was stolen by the evil white man.

There are some pockets of academics holding out, but they evaporate quickly. They are leaving academia and receiving a minimum of double salary in the private sector. Expect to see more and more work like this come out of academia, as they replace these people with those who echo the proper narrative to get the grant funding.

> initially, [they as a singular pronoun] was a bit disorienting for me, and even now it often requires a mental pause to parse what the speaker is referring to.

If it makes you feel better, the use of “you” as both singular and plural pronouns did not become universal until the 60s (thanks to TV amd some school rules); thee and thou remained common in northern regions of England, particularly around Yorkshire, into the 1940s. Yet you use it today without thinking about it.

And I notice the singular “they” in Jane Austin; likely it well precedes her usage as well.

Pretty sure the 100% and 80% refer to using Cuber for Pushpad. So its probably more about using Kubernetes than about Cuber.
Yeah, I wish some platforms would just die, and that includes Discord and WhatsApp. It's where the customers are for a reason. There's this naive mindset that says, "If you don't like it, don't use it," but this does not apply to communication channels. I'd rather everyone just go back to IRC, but we won't have that because of Discord.

Discord has the same problem email has except now you also end up with people starting discussions or posting memes in the middle of your search for people to play against. I can only imagine the chaos of elderly people trying to manage young people on Discord.

Email lists work fine for the existing club members so I don't see why they would suddenly become a problem now. My guess is that young people don't know how to use email or their clients suck at reading email threads, but you'd have the same problem the other way around if you were to try to push old people into smartphone apps. The argument between mailing lists and Discord seems to be "that's what this groups is mostly using so the other solution is bad".

I agree that a website would fix most of the issues, especially when it comes to communicating things to the group. Just a boring old phpbb forum would probably suffice, though you'd need to limit registration to actual club members if you want to keep out the trolls.

The fact that English preserves the root bindings in so many cases often makes it easier to figure out what a new word means when you encounter it in text. Just writing the sound would abandon this valuable tool.

Anyway, writing the sound just helps the beginning reader. When you read flowing text you don’t actually read the words aloud in your head, letter by letter.
If all the disks failed it could be the recording drive, assuming they weren't separately verified at the time or writing or since.

Our school's collection of BBCs included one drive that could read everything, including data it had created, but most of the other drives would reject anything it had written. Once identified that drive was taken out of general circulation and only used to read data for writing to a new disk in a second drive, and eventually skipped once it was unlikely any data someone cared about had been written by it and not copied elsewhere.

This often comes down to regularly testing old data. Floppies shouldn't have been used for archive storage but often were, with a problem only being noticed years down the line when the data needed to be read. Other media similarly: recorded CDs and DVDs from a decade or more ago are sometimes not readable now. An archive is only an archive if you can actually read it, much like an untested backup is just a hope not really a backup.
> I mean, if you're only writing for people who already agree with you, why bother at all?

To give those people, who may not be articulate or knowledgeable enough to explain the intricacies of a problem, the capacity to argue for or against a point when engaged in conversation.

For example, there are people who are against behavioural advertising but they may not be able to cite specific examples of how it’s harmful, or how much, or to whom. Thus they would research those questions and make a post so others in similar situations are able to have informed discussions with those in their lives who don’t think behavioural advertising is a big deal.

I have the same first reaction. Google's progress and impact on the society are very impressive, independently of how we feel about it.

But come to think of it, advancements in technology catch up quickly. Looking back into history: Ford Motor Company, Bell Telephone Company: they created a profound impact on the society in less than a couple of decades. I am sure there are other examples. I wonder: at what point in time did it accelerate? With the start of the Industrial Revolution?
I completely agree. Almost nobody genuinely wants less. I just came to realize that if we don't degrow smartly, then I will eventually have even less.

> the US has undoubtedly the best higher education system in the world

I doubt that, as do the times higher education rankings on all but perceived reputation - i.e. US universities are more "famous" in that when scholars were asked to name 15 good universities, they often included US ones.

Although some US universities are highly rated, and mostly in the top 10 for certain metrics and subject matter, they certainly are not "undoubtedly the best".

Thats not to say they are bad, but clearly your judgement is clouded.

I had heard the name before, but other than that I wasn't really aware of Pessoa until now. But what blew me away when reading the Wikipedia article about him was not the "multiple personalities", but this:

> In his lifetime, he published four books in English and one alone in Portuguese: Mensagem (Message). However, he left a lifetime of unpublished, unfinished or just sketchy work in a domed, wooden trunk (25,574 manuscript and typed pages which have been housed in the Portuguese National Library since 1988). The heavy burden of editing this huge work is still in progress.
