The cellular structure is maintained and propagated by the DNA. If you want to say that the very first cell’s structures (the zygote) is inherited from the mother and not produced by the individual’s genes but by the mother’s genes I suppose you could define that first cells organelles as a special kind of gene ‘inherited’ from the mother, but it certainly is not what people mean by the environment in discussions about nurture vs nature.
> It works well for someone smart who is doing their own research. Just like if you are smart you could use google before to do your own research.

That's a trap: If you don't have prior expertise then you can't distinguish plausible-sounding fact from fiction. If you think you are "smart", then afaik research shows you are easier to fool because you are more likely to think you know.

Google finds lots of mis/disinformation. GPTs are automated traps: they generate the most statistically likely text from ... the Internet! Not exactly encouraging. (Of course, it really depends on the training data.)

With nuclear power (especially with new plants) Germany could transition off CO2 producing fuels faster.

Remember: renewables are not actively good for reducing CO2. They don't suck CO2 out of the atmosphere, they are at best neutral. Renewable are good insofar as they allow us to move away from fossil fuels.
Love the minimalism of this and the other software listed on your site. More apps should just do one thing and do it well.

Would be this something that can be avoided by setting up BitLocker with the encryption password to be provided at boot time by the user? Because that's the way I've always configured it when I've used Windows in the past, due to me being paranoid and suspicious about the default "key saved on TPM" approach.
No, they're coming in and then beating up NY cops. When the DA let them off, they also decided to flip off the cameras instead of trying to argue "why they had to do that" - because there has to be some reason.

No, the more people that we let in like that, the more this country turns into that. I'm not signed up for that.

Yeah, I use a premium voice but was still disappointed when we added the feature to my reader app. I decided to leave it in the app since we'd already built it at that point, but it's kind of a bummer since obviously they could use Siri-level TTS if they wanted to.
This is clearly incredibly partisan. There might be something of substance in there but there’s way too much spin to meaningfully parse it.

Data protection and privacy for one. As the article says none of the student interaction will be used for training data which probably means you'll have to iron out some sort of educational licensing deal with OpenAI and separate access to the API for students.
I use chatgpt, begrudgingly, because it's frequently wrong and takes a lot of iterations to get something right. But, I use it, because Google sucks. I would have very little use for chatgpt with the Google of,I guess, like 10-12 years ago.

You could go back even further and ~25 years ago, I had an entire class on using search engines and all manner of advanced operators and search techniques.

With today's computing power it would be awesome to see what the search engines of past decades could have become if not for the monetary incentives to obscure information and increase engagement.

My 2 cents as someone with a related masters. Imo a masters is a quick way for someone without experience or no viable way to get that experience to quickly gain rough and dirty exposure in the hope that that will open doors to gaining said experience. That is a sentencious way of saying I think it is inferior to actual experience in the field building products, learning from that and maybe doing some self learning on the side to cover the gaps in your knowledge. A masters will not provide you with very deep theoretical knowledge - if what you want is deep expertise you should be looking at a PhD. That said there are benefits from doing one at a school like Stanford or MIT as they tend to be quite rigorous and you might pick up intangible benefits such as new study habits or whatever one picks up from being around a lot of smart motivated people, if you didnt already attend a prestigious school for college. Also a lot of employers value a masters degree so independently of wether it actually improves your skill or knowledge the paper might be worth having. I do think you can self teach though. These days its easy to find an online course or mooc that will give you enough to be reasonably well versed if you're not looking for deep phd level knowledge.

Well, if you're talking SvelteKit then it requires a build step so yes, jQuery is way more lightweight.

jQuery is also pure JS whereas Svelte is Typescript so it may be more difficult to debug/hack if your primarily JS coder.
> But the data trained on is usually in RGB format, so probably the reasoning.

It's trivial to convert the values for training - basically 0% of the cost of the process. But there's likely more "meaning" in HSV than in RGB. So I don't think that would account for the difference.

I can tell you from experience that it is exactly that. It depends quite a bit on the variety and dose but overall, this is how it feels.

When you take it, everything is great, the next day there is the leftover that makes it a "chill" day but then it slowly goes away and anxiety comes back stronger the following days. At 3-4 days you deal with withdrawal a bit depending on how much you consumed which may increase anxiety or not depending on factors (experience, current situation, etc). I would say you get back to baseline after about 5 days to a week, which is quite long!

Cannabis probably doesn't cause anxiety on its own, but definitely do not really help the case for anxious people, in the long term. Unless you want to consider being "high" every day and for quite long.
So, using cannabis to treat anxiety is a pretty bad idea but from my point of the view the biggest problem is the cognitive performance penalty you get from using cannabis and the problem is largely compounded by the fact that you do not feel that way at all when you are under influence or after (up to 2 full days after in my experience).
Yet I can attest that the impact is very real, and it is quite easy to demonstrate if you have high level activities where you can collect stats (video games are great for that).

Cannabis and anxiety definitely have a relation, but it is really not the principal concern to have. I wish it would be legal everywhere so people could talk about it openly...
AstralCodex discussed this recently. I am not a fanboy, but it’s one of his better articles:

> Do you have a need to spin up a partial subgraph of microservices, and have them talk to each other while developing against a slice of the full stack?

Yeah we do. We use k3s, and use kustomize to scale down or disable services from prod. minio replaces S3, postgres runs nicely in a container, environment variables for service discovery. Add in a liberal sprinkling of NodePort services to allow connections from web browsers or whatever.

Been using it for about three years now. Works great. Upgrading is easy, rebuilding is easy.

We even use it to run our one-box testing environment on an EC2 instance, rather than spinning up an actual EKS cluster. Also works great.

I love that we use the exact same tools to manage all environments -- yaml+kustomize for manifests, kubectl+k9s for ops -- so we get really used to using them.
It takes decades to build new nuclear plants. This won’t solve anything until they are built.

Renewables /are/ good for reducing CO2, as every kW produced by renewable is not produced by CO2-emitting alternative. Plus, they make you independent from foreign energy sources.

I always tell new developers, take pride in your work, and take the time to do it right, because your manager will not care at all about the quality, but it'll bite you in the ass if you don't. The only person who is going to care about craftsmanship of your code is you.
No. What? No. A trap is by definition undefined behavior.

"Certain object representations need not represent a value of the object type. If the stored value of an object has such a representation and is read by an lvalue expression that does not have character type, the behavior is undeﬁned. If such a representation is produced by a side effect that modiﬁes all or any part of the object by an lvalue expression that does not have character type, the behavior is undeﬁned."
Natural gas is not "clean". Moreover, it is well known that the biggest problem with gas is the production of methane during extraction that is MUCH more dangerous than CO2.

Regarding Germany, the switch is temporary (geopolitical), and they still produce less CO2 every year as planned and have a strong CO2 phase-out plan.
You can, which makes me wonder why they added the range-over-int functionality when it could have been a function in the proposed iter package:

Some kind of cost shedding to the application owner (in many enterprises this is not the infra owner) is definitely needed otherwise everything becomes critical.

>profits then returned to China

Are those profits returning to China? If they wanted profit they would invest in Chine RE which (until recently) was much more profitable and speculative than western RE. Western RE investment was for capital flight to bring wealth abroad. Very few want to bring money INTO PRC.

Baby formula actually great example, at least from what I know in AU market. Yeah you had the occasional tourists bringing back a few cans to savec money, but the sellers getting 30 tins and doing weekly shippments to regular customers in PRC were getting paid in AUD. $60 per tin into AU economy flipping milk powder. It's a good gig, it's no real estate money though. You can argue it's net bad for society because some gain at society loss, but that's how it be in capitalism. Some interests profit at the cost of others. And the interests who profit from PRC money, arguably the establishment, wants to keep profitting.
I see it all the time at different layers of the stack. At some point some knowledge is lost due to people turnover and the solution is to change the technology, instead of paying somebody full time to re-understand it. Why not rewrite XXX part in YYY language as nobody understands XXX anymore ? Linux VMs require a good sysadmin with a taste in digging into existing scripts and playbooks. With Kubernetes we can start from scratch and we only needs a kubernetes expert ! (or so they say).

Right now I'm working a lot with an oversized maven configuration that nobody understands ; I'm paid only to dig into it and maybe refactor some parts. It's made way too complicated for the task and does a lot of non-standard stuff to work around problems it created itself. But when I arrived people were blaming jenkins and wanted to move to gitlab because jenkins was becoming too complicated to work around maven (also !). Next thing you know somebody could try kubernetes or moving to the cloud or switching from RedHat to NixOS or whatever, and the problem would still be maven.
You're judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree. Retrieving truthful information about the world is one of the possible ways to use of GPT models, but neither is the best working, nor the most helpful.

Instead, think of it as a computer that can perform transformations on text, described in plain language and based on text's tone and meaning.
Grid-scale energy storage is lower cost per kwh than many fossil fuel peaker plants. The solution to the intermittent energy problem doesn't have to be fossil fuels.
Right you are! Now that I think about it - spending some more simulation cycles I assume ;) - there's really no way to tell.
This is not a BitLocker vulnerability - this is a vulnerability of the hardware design where a TPM module communicates with the CPU over an insecure channel.
Been interviewed by a medical news journal and this has all been done in the public over the last year so there was never a “release date” or anything. Honestly at the start I was just another person with a guess.

There are some scary implications such as in some cases we have had sexuality and gender changes once we knew how to “inject into the system”

I guess when you get down to it, it wasn’t actually that note worthy by itself as most cases are simply minor versions of already well documented conditions. It is only when you combine them that they add up.

And lastly given that I have not paid to get it peer reviewed and published formally it isn’t news yet. Again no school affiliation. Just now mostly helping treat a bunch of those common conditions I mentioned.
> Could you imagine the outcry if a fracking induced earthquake took down a 13th century church someplace? No one wants that.

Seems like an straightforward case of externalities?

Coasian bargaining and/or Pigovian taxes can deal with them.

Yes, 13th century churches have value, but so do a lot of other things, like convenience or reducing CO2 emissions.

You can fix teetering systems with money.

Politically, you'd want to be careful to align who benefits from fracking (eg via taxes) and who bears the burden (eg from minor earthquakes). So if the dangers of fracking extent to about, say, 30km from the side of where the well sits, you'd want to make sure that the tax revenues and authority to decide on whether to allow fracking and what obligations to put on frackers should also roughly occur on that level of 30km. Eg within a county perhaps.

This way the voters in different counties can make up their mind about what they want to allow, and what they ask for in return.

Perhaps they want the frackers to post a billion dollar bond underwritten by a major re-insurance company as insurance for that 13th century church, before they allow fracking. Write the contract in such a way that any earthquake damage to that church would be covered, without need for proof that fracking was to blame.
Everyone else steals your laptop, reinstalls Windows and sells it round the corner for 100€.
The title makes it sound like Bitlocker's encryption is what was being broken, but what is broken is the key exchange on some laptops. The same vulnerability also affects LUKS2 and any other transparently encrypted system using a dedicated TPM chip for encryption.

Developing the exploit itself also took significantly more than $10, it's not like you can just hook up a Raspberry Pi to any circuit board and start bit banging blindly. Without a scope that supports digital signal processing, you'll struggle to adapt this attack to TPMs that speak a different protocol.

It's a shame that there's no E2EE between the CPU and the TPM, but luckily on many modern devices with fTPMs this attack doesn't apply. Unlocking your disk with systemd-boot will still be relatively safe.

On affected systems, the workaround (a TPM PIN) still leaves for a much more secure encryption system than a plain password would, assuming you have stored your backup key somewhere safe.
>secure boot, a protection built into most modern computing devices to ensure every link in the boot process comes from a verified, trusted supplier.

Should read "from a verified, trusted supplier, Microsoft."
Among academics? No it’s not the view.

Among the general population? It absolutely is.
“Acquired” is only really used for the purchase of businesses, at least in headlines, and especially in tech news. The awkward translation is indeed a garden path sentence when delivered to this crowd.

About the only real counterargument is that you could also interpret the translation as trading the business for 110,000 students and teachers. That would not be garden path as it would be (accidentally) misleading wording in its entirety!
jQuery is amazing, still remember the joy of using it 20 years ago. That being said, React, Vue and similar are just better IMO to build and maintain complex apps. Don't get me wrong, jQuery was the best thing at its time and I will always be grateful to its contributors, but today there are better alternatives. I think htmx is nice but not seeing it taking over other frameworks.
Nuclear doesn't suck CO2 either.

Moreover a single nuclear unit costs billions to build, billions to maintain, billions to dismantle, all under control of a single entity/company. Whereas renewable costs are much more spread, can be managed by many different companies, etc.
If you're creating a fully interactive webapp (google maps, docs, or apple music), go with one of the frontend frameworks because they will give you a much simpler way of managing states and binding it to the view layer. But the majority of websites are not apps or shouldn't be. You'd only have a couple of interactive elements if you strip the UX to its core. And that can be done easily with server rendered templates and a bit of jquery/vanilla js.
I think this comment is kind of correct, the moderation problem can be overlooked until the system scales(IMO not until individual participating instances scale but until the whole system becomes relevant), and thereafter we'd come back to the problem of bad actors and external pressures.
They were switched off long AFTER the war had started. The situation by then was totally clear for everyone. The only reason why the nuclear power plants were not keept running for another few years was ideology, and it was a mistake.
If you really do want to be challenged, try this very short video by Sabine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1KGnCj_cfM

It goes through the basic evidence quite clearly. There's more of course, but this will do.
CSS-in-JS has been a challenge – we're currently using https://github.com/astroturfcss/astroturf which seemed the simplest zero-runtime-cost option back when we were looking, but the library is starting to feel a bit under-maintained (if the author of Astroturf reads this, we love your work and will do whatever we can to support you in it!). But it's worked well for us over the last 2 years.

Happy to share a component example. We also use a small library for managing CSS classes in a typed fashion, which can also be used by our UI test code to target various elements. So that does add a bit of cryptic boilerplate, but the repo README has an example component with syntax highlighting:
https://github.com/evnp/namespace.style#usage
It is available by GitHub: https://github.com/zzo38/scorpion

It is also available by Fossil: http://zzo38computer.org/fossil/scorpion.ui/dir?ci=tip

It is also available by the Scorpion protocol itself at: scorpion://zzo38computer.org/specification.txt (Since you cannot read it without reading it to understand it first, here is a simple explanation: Use port 1517. Send R and then a space and then the full URL and then carriage return and line feed. Discard the first line of the result. Of course the specification is not actually that simple, but that is good enough to merely access one file.)

Edit: I didn't say why I don't just use vanilla with querySelectorAll - majn reasons are I like how I can attach events (attaching to parent while targeting dynamically added subelements), chaining functions, and it's just less code than vanilla
They've had many opportunities to do that over the years, and instead left the space to stodgy providers like Regus.

Some might try to address it now, others will just unload their assets or look to partner with someone to do it for them. It's not a given they'll want to be the ones taking the risk - ironically with WeWork likely to be one of the things making some of them wary of starting their own. Better to let someone else burn other shareholders money if it doesn't work.

But ultimately, irrespective of political clout, there's only so long you can shore up a glut in supply before there will be a push towards e.g. residential conversions and the like.

I agree with your skepticism with respect to WW's ability to be the one to profit, though.
Those nuclear power plants were already there and running. Also, they were quite modern and safe compared to many other nuclear power plants in Europe.
In 2023 China added more solar and wind power production to its grid than its annual consumption growth. People just see that they are still adding coal but they are reaching the tipping point where coal for electricity has started being replaced with renewables. With all the battery and solar production being added in the next few years I think they will also rapidly remove coal from their grid.
