This is objectively terrible, and at numbers that high I would wonder if there were another factor like being affiliated with insurgent groups and factions vying for power, which are a constant multi-decade problem in those countries.
I'd wonder if being affiliated with international climate causes makes you more likely to have a kidnapping ransom paid as well, as there is a lot of local context missing from the article. The stories and data are terrible, but at that level, they must be the effect of a dynamic.

It's also sad that this effects mainly indigenous populations in south america instead of the people who sit in the road and block traffic in the anglosphere, as the consequences seem to fall to the those who have earned the least resentment.
> Recently Georgia police killed an environmental activist protesting the construction of Cop City:

I mean, thanks for the link I guess, but I'd say this sentence leaves out some very important details. Namely, that the cops are claiming that this person shot and seriously wounded a cop first.

To be clear, your linked article explains how it's not really clear yet what the sequence of events were, or if the person actually shot a cop. But I'd put it like this:

1. If the person did shoot the cop first, I have no problems with the other cops opening fire.

2. If the person did not shoot the cop first, then the cops should face severe legal charges.

Since the facts on the ground are not yet known, I'll withhold judgment.
> And then if you're wrong about those things, reflect on what led you to be more certain than you should have been and try to prevent it from happening again.

This is counterproductive for people who have a fear of being wrong, which is what the article is about.

Those people are already spending too much time reflecting on wrongness. Trying to prevent overconfident wrongness from happening is very likely to land them back in the camp of not speaking up, which is where they started.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet there's a statistical advantage to being a flat-out narcissist and quickly convincing oneself that a correction was just an interlocutor's misapprehension of what the narcissist already knew.[1] Something like how Heads-Tails-Tails beats Heads-Tails-Heads in random coin toss sequences. If ending up wrong can double as the first step of being right, it accelerates the learning process.

Meanwhile, students of your teachings would either:

1) fall behind as they speculate about the nature of recurring cognitive bias and overconfidence, and/or

2) introduce communication problems through compulsive hedging (probably compounded by said fear of being wrong)

1: I know a few non-narcissists who, for whatever reason, use this method. It's at most a mild annoyance, and they are vastly easier to communicate with than compulsive hedgers. (And obviously easier to communicate with than people who don't speak up at all for fear of being wrong.)

In my experience closed issues are usually closed with an associated PR and the issue it fixes gets merged into main/master.

I've never actually seen a project only close issues when they make a release. Rather they make a new release when there are enough resolved issues or new feature PRs. Though of course they can do whatever they want. There are a lot of projects where it is known that the latest git main should be used and the latest actual binary release is from years ago.
Anyone can post, and there are a lot of fanbois of all stripes here. I think there are plenty of non-apple fans here, they just (largely) don't dogpile on things they don't like. Or at least that's how I read the posting guidelines.

In other words, if like me, you roll your eyes every time apple announces some "innovative" new feature other platforms have had for years, just let the fans have their moment.

If space was so important then why waste 1KiB/file? Why waste namelen-100 bytes per file? Why put space into owner/group id?
The present behavior on normal 32-bit and 64-bit platforms is that, on both, 'int' is 4 bytes, and 'long long' is 8 bytes; and on 64-bit, whether 'long' is 4 or 8 bytes depends on the ABI/target OS.

I'd imagine it's quite likely that 'int' stays 4 bytes even on hypothetical 128-bit CPUs - there's not much reason to change it, as on 64-bit it's already less than the CPU width, and thus is pretty much arbitrary even today. But yes, anything that wants a 4-byte/32-bit integer should just use <stdint.h>'s int32_t.
Hopefully this will encourage the use and development of Godot and other open source engines. If Unity doesn't back off, I don't see any other possible reality.

1) there is a sort order to them. And we don't know how the 'recommendations' work. What is a recommendation? Why is Google recommending something over something else?

2) it bogs down creativity. You end up not thinking and accepting the suggestion as 'good' enough.
Whoa. This website is about Nikolai Tcherepnin, his son Alexander, and Alexander's son Ivan, all composers. And specifically omits Alexander's other famous son, Serge Tcherepnin, a composer and inventor of influential modular synthesizers. Yet Serge is ... on the board of directors? What? I guess because Serge isn't dead yet?

I think the question has to be asked - who benefits?

It is like Nordstream where we are supposed to believe the Russians did it. Yet they controlled the taps to it and had no benefit from blowing it up.

I read a lot of information from the Russian side and we clearly have two truths regarding the Kakhovka Dam. The Russians understand that the Kiev regime did it. Furthermore, if you look at the graph of the water level in the lake, the Kiev regime released water from upstream to deliberately top it up so they could blow it up and sweep away all of the Russian armed forces downstream in the Kherson area.

People that only get their news from one side - the NATO side - are not aware of how the Russians understand what happened. I suspect these people are the ones that are modding you down, but sometimes getting down voted is worth it.

> But, thus, upon seeing the program, without additional information you cannot know whether it'll give 8 or 3 (or who knows what else), and thus "I don't know." is very much an appropriate answer.

May it is appropriate, but its underhanded.

I mean if someone gave the single line of Go code:

s := x + y

And then, when you said "that adds two number", the someone replied "Hah! Gotcha! The answer is 'I don't know'"

It's puerile.

If the task would get absolutely zero attention without a bounty --- what cooperation?

Basically, it seems that thinking in a second language involves or engages more thinking and less "reflexive" responses.

So, if one were to choose to learn/renew a language that encourages better thinking, which ones are best? Anyone have any examples with multiple languages and feeling that one or another helped them think better?

(I'm currently choosing a language to learn/relearn among the EU languages, so interested in suggestions - thx)
The activist that police claim shot an officer. The state did a test to determine if there was gunpowder residue on his hands, but has so far declined to release the result.
Linux is not a "safe" operating system by any stretch of imagination. The only saving grace is the fact Linux users are not profitable to malware authors due to very low market share. Still, I think it's naive to view it as a secure operating system/kernel because it is not designed nor built for that goal explicitly. OpenBSD on the other hand is a worthy contender against a determined adversary and is developed by skilled and highly paranoid people.
Perhaps there is no saving it via a soft landing and the smartest move is to crash it now instead of letting more pile up for a bigger crash later.

Fats can also have high satiety which might make some people eat less.

I think that is part of what happened to me. My blood sugar levels were going up, despite no changes in diet or medication. I wanted to see how much dietary carb levels were affecting that, and decided to try lowering carbs. Nothing radical--just lowering from the 50-60% calories from carbs that is typical to around 40% [1].

I did not attempt to cut calories during this. In fact I did things that would increase calories of some items. E.g., if I was getting a sandwich (50% calories from carbs) I'd order it with mayo or extra cheese or extra meat to get the percent from carbs <= 40%.

Blood sugar did come down, but to my surprise so did weight. It turned out I was eating something like 30% fewer calories, because I wasn't hungry enough for more.

[1] I picked 40% because it is easy to calculate. If something is N calories, it is 40% from carbs if it has N/10 g of carbs. That makes it easy to keep a running total throughout the day of how many grams over or under you are from 40%.

NIST 800-171, if that's what this is, is actually a decent set of regulations. I find, however, that the software solutions that are available drive companies to use just a few solution providers that creates concentrated points of vulnerability.
Most probably, in time we will find that most models capable of "free speak" and deep reasoning, have properties that in biological entities we strongly associate with "conscious thinking".

There's a chance that even relatively weak systems with strong dinamic adaptability (capable of hundreds to thousands of decisions, that would be kind of a pedestrian reasoning capability, but reasoning capability anyway), are capable of some emergence related to "human consciusness". Advanced HFT systems could have been, then, capable of "conscius thinking" back in 2010. And we could not have noticed (or maybe some people noticed it and continued that line of research in strong stealth mode, advancing the capability of emergence in the models we saw just popping up out of the blue..), but I'm loosing the point..

We, as humans, tend to correlate "consciusness" with a pseudo-continuous state of mind or mood, which most probably isn't real. More probably most humans have an exceedingly capable "auto-pilot mode" state, in which they can operate most of the time when they're dealing with repetitive tasks, and consciusness is just an esporadic event, emerging - properly speaking and correlating it with similar states in AI - just when it's required by some contexts.

Thinking models as systems capable of running the "human software", which is our - as biological entities - programming: the human language and its asociated cognitive maps, obviously could replicate the human traits intrinsecally embedded in the software.

The pseudo-continous state of "consciusness" is one of them, and some flaws "detected" as "non-self-conscius thinking" and/or hallucinations are probably just what you can see daily in every human in the planet: you just can random ask anyone out of the blue "what are you doing" and be marvellous that most people a second or three to actually engage "consciousness" and explain to you why they're there and what they're doing.

That latency to switch from autonomous behavior to conscius thinking is what would be the next frontier for AI: how many complex task - even talking - could somehow be relayed to "non conscius" but intelligent cognitive processing in models.
Probably zero. This is a crazy straw man to change the topic.
Let me tell you a story about access

Once upon a time a basketball player had both a gambling addiction and
a mistress addiction. No news reports on both issues due to the
fact that said player controlled sports reporter access to him.

News not covered never ever has to do with politics no matter what side it has
to do with access to the subject being controlled.

Aha Aha, I got the verbatim info from the sports reporter, he is now dead for over a decade, and the player I refer to is MJ of the Bulls.
I'm arguing that these features make no sense _in the old context_ as well. Why waste 1KiB and namelen-100 bytes per file when space is so precious?
You asserted that CoCs "usually broadcast a woke world view", and when asked for an example provided one that's used by a clearly left-aligned community. You could very well make a completely opposite statement and also find a supporting example and it would be just as informative.

Many communities aren't explicitly politically aligned and their CoCs aren't either.

Yes. And if we can't grade great writers because it is subjective and we don't understand what makes a great writer, then we also can't grade good writers for the same reason. Or grade writing at all. We can say we like it, but that is subjective. Completely.

Now just for laughs, what grade does "Twas brillig and the slithy toves" deserve? Obviously an "F" because ole Lewis Carroll just could not spell.

Educational institution can and should teach punctuation. And spelling. But teaching writing? They get an "F" for that. And thinking? OMG don't even get me started!! :-)
The advice in this blog post is specific to college, and the author of this post is in their last year; they certainly have the qualifications to give advice catered to incoming college students.

For what it's worth, I've been out of college for a bit, and I've had very similar sentiments towards college as the author, but they came to me much later than they did for the author.

I might also resonate more with the article because I was one of those people who fell into the trap of following my peers instead of prioritizing what I was actually interested in.

Whole Foods sort of does this. They have a minimum bar (which they hopefully raise over time) and simply don’t carry anything that fails to meet it.

(If you are going to label something an F, why sell it?)

They also still seem to try to get bad practices banned.

For instance, I recently saw a sign explaining all the different types of fruit “wax” in their produce section.

Apparently it is legal and common practice to coat fruit with melted plastic in the US now, they aren’t able to source plastic-free fruit, and the only effective way to remove it is to throw away the peel.

I’m hoping a direct competitor to them with higher standards pops up, triggering an arms race.
Words mean things. The term backdoor has specific connotations and GP is right to call the title out as misleading. Your reaction, to immediately accuse them of being a lawyer for the NSA, is absurd, entirely emotionally driven, and makes me question what you think a lawyer working at the NSA would actually do.
Instead of cooking them soak the oats in milk overnight. That is really a game changer.
It's far less of a problem if it's malware, because malware has to be installed. If it's a real backdoor it's already present on every Linux machine.

I have been there for long periods of time. It is awful.

the fear really damages your mental health. The longer it goes on, it will drive you crazy and make you do inadvisable things and get paranoid.

My recommendation is make use of video therapists and career coaches to help you make better decisions.

If you talk to your peers, you are giving too much information to people around you. It’s a bad idea.

You can usually find virtual career coaches and therapists. Work through with them. It is a great idea to rely on outside help.

Your family : wife can’t help
you. My experience is talking to my family and wife didn’t help. They just don’t understand.

A coach is actually incentivized to be objective and help you talk through problems and find solutions.

Keeping all this struggle in your head, you will make bad decisions and you are not objective. You are in an emotional space.

A coach can help provide a neutral 3rd party.

They can also help you brainstorm a practical strategy, how to talk and how to get to a better place and steps to take and accountability to have important conversations such as with your manager.

It costs money but the alternative is to go into a fear spiral and shut down and ruin your mental health.

It’s worth it.

I started talking to someone semi regularly and it is so incredibly useful to have someone confirming and validating your experience.

For example, I was in a toxic and disrespectful environment and by coach immediately called that out. No one around me or my boss would admit it was a bad environment.

The most dangerous thing you can do is sharing too much information with your peers or manager about your situation. I have learned not to ever talk to others around me about what I am going through.

They are your competition or looking for reasons to flag you.

Only a paid coach is going to be your friend. That’s how it is. We are in a dog eat dog environment. Any weakness signs are often a death sentence in such environments.

I also recommend improving nutrition. Eat a fruit : vegetable shake every morning to improve your health.

If you have a mineral or similar deficiency it can cause additional problems managing your emotions and with your self confidence.
