Are you honestly trying to say humans living in a primitive society would be comparable to most other animals (not even "intelligent" ones such as chimps)?

The cognitive dissonance in that statement is blinding. Even in the pre-agrarian hunter-gather millennia of human existence, human societies the world over independently figured out housing, carried the knowledge for fire and the wheel, had intensely complex (relative to every other species on the planet) communication and social skills. They all came up with ways to develop knives, arrows, cooking+eating utensils, protective clothing, complex hunting strategies, etc.

Like, yeah...they didn't have computers in front of them, but all of the inate skills that allows modern humans to conceptualize, build, repair and utilize those things existed just as inately in them. You could teach one of them about things piece by piece...you'll never be able to do that with even a chimp, let alone a cow.
that would explain the kicking out of the protest. It doesn't explain why no proeminent feminist organization marched for those israeli women that got raped.

It's not about them being pro-rape, it's about them hating israelis more than they like women in general (which is a pretty high level of hate if you're a feminist). It's pure hate and i'm not sorry you're failing to see it for what it is. "Trying to find the best argument" for someone's position only works for people that aren't hypocritical. Otherwise it's just a failed analysis.
Too bad I didn't get the chance to play a game, nobody was calling with me.

Sorry, I'm aware of that nuance but I worded myself poorly.
On the positive side, the frequentist approach doesn’t need assumptions about the pre-data probability of the thing of interest.

On the negative side, the frequentist approach doesn’t produce a post-data probability for the thing of interest either.

It provides the probability of something else - as you mention - which can also be interesting but it’s not what people really would like to know (as the generalized misinterpretation of the meaning of frequentist results makes clear).
The OnePlus Open - I was on the fence about foldables and was saving up for the next generation of the Samsung Galaxy Fold. I didn't know OnePlus was going to release one until I saw a newspaper ad. I'm so glad I bought one and traded in my Nothing Phone(1). This is the best tech device I've used in the last few years and I've not been this excited about a device since I first bought my friend's used Nexus S.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra - No brainer when my S7+ screen died. I love the form factor. It's not for everyone but I love it. I might get the S6 Lite sometime next year for use during travel, but perhaps not.

Boox Tab Mini C - Bye-bye Kindles. I'm in love with this device. Color in an e-reader is great and this device allows me to use an app of my choice to read. I'm not locked into reading on one app. Tachiyomi also works flawlessly. Love it.

This looks like a wonderful tool that solves a lot of problems that existing tools don't typically put together. It's an achievement, and your post is unnecessarily crass.

This is very much the sort of tool that you host internally at a newsroom so journalists don't have to wrangle with software or write code. Like, in that situation, who cares if it's on top of docker? The users definitely won't give a shit.

Please consider that you're not the target audience....
Aren't you supposed to use an index.html in the "/cyberspace/archive-the-web/" directory to get a URL like that? And if you wanted .html files to show up like that, the nginx try-files directive could just check if the URL would work if it had a .html on the end and do an internal redirect. (like how the default config on debian adds a / to the end, if that would work)

From my experience using nginx for amateur reasons, this seems like the wrong way to go about this. Not to mention the distaste I have for caching redirects, like 301. (they make fixing your config annoying, since browsers will redirect (and switch the verb to GET) before even hitting the server)
It's not a complete myth. But I'd agree that it's overblown and overly touted.
Hi. Me, I do.
A sales person said 'hey let's get coffee'. I agreed. Then they send me a calendy link of 'okay, choose a time and date that I've predefined.' It comes across like I'm working to fit their schedule. Obviously this isn't the way they want to communicate it, but that's how it comes across.
On Early Detection of Hallucinations in Factual Question Answering
The researchers found that certain artifacts associated with LLM model generations could potentially indicate whether or not a model is hallucinating. Their results showed that the distributions of these artifacts were different between hallucinated and non-hallucinated generations. Using these artifacts, they trained binary classifiers to classify model generations into hallucinations and non-hallucinations. They also discovered that tokens preceding a hallucination can predict the subsequent hallucination before it occurs.

Ryan Hurst is great. I ended up spending several hours with him at CCS talking about HSMs.

I was mostly upstairs at CATS due to two other projects I'm involved with - Sigsum and System Transparency. Sigsum is a minimal transparency log design which uses proactive cosigning witnessing to mitigate split view attacks. In collaboration with TrustFabric (Al, Martin et al) and Filippo Valsorda we have achieved consensus on the cryptographic semantics of the witnesses, so all of us met at CATS to discuss the bootstrapping of a witness ecosystem.

I'd love to learn more about some of the things you mention!

* What standards do you consider better than FIPS in this context?

* When you say "ideally there would be something better", what would you like to have?

Something else to consider: Performance. TKey is RV32ICZmmul running at 20-ish MHz, with the on-board 16x16 bit DSPs to accelerate the multiplication instructions. If you need more than a few ECC signatures per second then you need something more powerful than the TKey.

You've already mentioned the USB Armory II elsewhere in this thread so I'm sure you've already thought of it. I'll point it out here explicitly so others might benefit as well: The USB Armory II looks to be a fantastic flexible HSM substrate. Andrea Barisani et al's work on getting it to run Go is genius. Go as firmware is genius for that matter (see TinyGo).
They all have their niches. Rust is difficult but rewards you for your persistence.

I do appreciate Rust a lot but nowadays find myself reaching for Golang more often. I simply don't have the extra time and energy to learn the final more advanced Rust pieces in my own leisure time so I'll learn it whenever I can but yeah, in the meantime: Golang to the rescue.

I could not disagree more.

If it is not not invented here, on the limit is not invented anywhere because nobody knows how to build these things, which we have been on that path more or less.

Perhaps you were visualizing that guy on your job who creates his own libraries and obscure systems within the system before telling anyone and that is generally a bad peer.

But the Universe is much bigger and diverse than that, people who programmed their own things but do a Google search first and use other software because they know it’s more feature complete, more known, trusted and better future supported are the best to work with.

We are all using the products of not invented here syndrome right now, don’t forget that.

Not denying it, I just struggle to find any non-RoR usage of Ruby out there except maybe for Homebrew.
I have been told that the big problem is actually transmission and load scaling.

Energy storage is a big part of that, but really boring, non headline grabbing things like better/more transmission lines and slightly more sane usage patterns make up the low hanging fruit.
This article seems like non-sensical stretch to me.
Actually… reaching the very limits of knowability is the crown achievement of science and your first two examples have very important engineering implications.

Given these economies, perhaps it makes sense to say wherever in science we aren’t at the boundary of knowable, there’s still something worth discovering.
The population is demonstrably not continuing to grow at the same rates - all but sub-Saharan Africa is at below replacement fertility (and sub-Saharan Africa is also dropping fast), and much of the world today only experiences population growth due to immigration. With China likely now having slipped into decline net of migration, and India having dropped below fertility replacement rates and so only a couple of decades away from population decline, we're 50-100 years away from global population decline without drastic steps.

It seems highly unlikely, considering how important hands are for survival, the risks of a debilitating handicap or death if something went wrong, and the fact that hands don’t seem to be linked to any sort of spiritual symbolism (as opposed to eyes, forehead, etc.) in any religion, at least not to the point of doing something so extreme to them.

Even if trepanation was used in very ancient times, it had, to my understanding, some surgical goal.

So, this is yet another case of ‘research’ exhibiting poor logical skills.

It's a completely fake problem invented in the 70s by the book "The Population Bomb", and if it was true the things in that book would already have happened.

However, the West's strategy of writing moral panic books like this and then not actually reading them did allow us to defeat China (who read the book, actually did it and now has a demographic crisis) so that's something.

Basically you need a big resistor with sufficient cooling. Dissipating megawatts of power is done routinely this way, during load testing of big generators.

But I imagine it becomes more of an engineering problem at grid scale, where you might need to dump hundreds of megawatts to make a difference. Cooling starts to require more significant infrastructure and/or environmental impact. E.g. the gigawatts of thermal waste of a nuclear power plants either heats a local river or needs to be dumped in the atmosphere with those big hyperboloid cooling towers.

It's working everywhere. India dropped below replacement fertility a couple of years ago. The only part of the world left with above replacement growth is sub-Saharan Africa, and even the very highest, like Niger, has seen substantial drops in fertility rates.

If anything we're a few decades away from a rising panic about increasing them again.
> Every time I saw this kind of discussions, my first question is, what happens when sun is not shining? Like in the night or when it's very cloudy?

What's been happening now in Europe - the electricity prices go negative during the day and in the evenings the gas plants are turned on and start burning fossil fuels again to make up for the demand.

Luckily in some places it's supplanted by wind (when available - e.g. Germany), but a lot of EU countries just burn gas in those examples.
Keep in mind that inflation is measured with a basket of goods that often excludes housing. Inflation being 10% does not imply that housing has gone up 10%.

400+ GW of installed solar in 2023 seems hardly a dead end...
Solar/wind power plant + storage at the same place and consider it as one unit. Then you have a powerplant which can supply electricity on demand (as gas, coal, nuclear can) and you don't need to worry about rebuilding whole grid.

Being able to write something from scratch is not the same as always writing from scratch. Let me turn this around. Who would you trust with writing search engine, a software engineer who worked on and wrote search engine from scratch or someone who only theoretically knows about it?

> Software engineering is knowing that you don't need to know everything, you only need to know where to find everything. "Programming" is an important part of it, but far from the only one.

I hear this excuse more and more when it comes to threads like this. You don’t need to defend your life position, it’s okay to not know everything.
No offense but your table is kind of deceptive. Obviously you can route between anyone if your strategy is to fallback to using a proxy server. Libp2p do the same thing specifically for the same reason [simplistic code.] But the whole point of p2p networking is to not require one. The reason delta enumeration is important is because the information can allow you to support more restrictive NATs without needing a proxy server. It's more work to write the NAT code and more testing but it is worth it.

> That is somewhat true but in many ways it turns out that customers treat the open source version as what it is: open source. This means that they do not shame, reject or decline the offer of some other company to provide bespoke deployments of open source SaaS.

Sure, but that's the thing! If you want to call your product open source, you have to be OK with users taking your product, and running it themselves, and giving nothing back. They are not "freeloaders", they are normal users of your open source code.

There was both a civil suit (brought by five employees) and a criminal complaint brought by the DOJ. The criminal complaint was about a violation of antitrust law:

Totally false, CO2 emissions coming from the US have fallen as the population has risen. No, that's not because of offshoring.

These things are caused by economic structure and government policy (independent of population) and technology efficiency (which gets better with more people, not worse). Examples being whether or not you're allowed to build apartments or beef is subsidized.

Parts of DX5 and previous, such as the "retained mode", are missing from current versions of Windows entirely. Much of the remaining implementation is buggy and introduces render artifacts.

I didn't read the paper, but it seems they're trying to fix a ML model by a ML model. I am not sure whether that's a good idea, but I digress. Besides, how do they know what is a hallucination and what is a non-hallucination (cf. a similar debate on disinformation)?

We should hold these parties accountable and make it simpler for everyday users to understand what open source means.

In my personal encounters there are usually tons of confusion between FOSS, OSS and source available. My gut feel is that there's some degree of exploitation of the mix ups and most turn a blind eye to the underlying issues.

The cause and effect is not so clear. China's wealth has also risen substantially, and with it comes fertility decline. E.g. India reached below replacement fertility a couple of years ago without it.

I think it's likely the one child policy contributed a bit, but a substantial part of the decline is clearly also due to economic development.

"In an anonymous online poll on how many “focused hours of work” software engineers put in each day, 71 percent of the over four thousand respondents claimed to work six hours a day or less".

An ESP32 (or 8266 honestly in most scenarios) and ESPHome/WLED/anything that supports MQTT will do the job reliably and without concerns of data collection/spying.

You spend a little more time on initial setup, but all those concerns slip away.
But ultimately you still need to move the electricity.

I know in Texas, we are largely making more wind/solar power than we can even transmit. There are projects to address this, but they are slow.

Very cool! That's a nice design that gives the developer the choice on the trade-off between being upgradeable and being future-proof against developer key compromise.

Transparency logs indeed are a neat ingredient to use here. I've heard of other software distributors (e.g., Firefox) using binary transparency logs but hadn't heard of anyone use them in the context of HSMs/security tokens/cryptocurrency wallets yet.

You mean something like join? This can easily be done by adding a channel on which each thread of the interesting group sends when finished. Thanks for the link, I will have a look at it.

EDIT: Ok, after looking through the referenced article I can confirm that it is about join and that there is a solution with channels as described. Unfortunately I don't have an example in Oberon yet, but here is one from my C library: https://github.com/rochus-keller/CspChan/blob/6867c1a28e1443.... What is called a "Nursery" in the article is just a procedure here (testSieve2) which initiates threads in a similar way like Go, passes an eof channel to them an then waits until it receives on this eof channel.
