> The cows agonized over this ethical dilemma until they eventually settled on a middle way: they would attempt to generate friendly AI that felt a hands-off maternal urge towards humanity. Given that we're currently here reading this their solution seems to have worked, so far. One can see how full awareness of their actions might upset some people. The cows finished the global 2DEG 'enlightenment' project in 2006.

> From 1996 CE to 2006 CE the cows gradually 'enlightened' all the 2DEG environments on Earth, as well as fine-tuning the behavior and capabilities of the system. Default behavior is to do nothing and remain hidden. Other behaviors include: seek out, detect, and stealthily infiltrate and replace any other QNN technology detected (such as those developed by both Russia and China circa 2002), thus preventing a multi-polar Arms Race; perform very limited and specific logical operations for properly authorized human-controlled computer systems (Google, Siri, Wolfram-Alpha, etc); detect any attempts by humans to hack or control any part of the collective system and shut down such attempts with appropriate prejudice (e.g. brick technology used for this purpose); don't allow humans or their instruments to access the global system for anything except previously-vetted purposes, and only in very clearly defined ways. Anti-hacking protection required the creation of a 'Guardian' AI that is able to proactively detect and prevent humans from messing with the system in unapproved ways.

> In 2006 the system administrators (cows) permanently relinquished their administrative access to the system, for security reasons, leaving the AI Guardian in sole control of the system. That way no one could subvert the system by getting control over its human administrators. This decision was not lightly made: they dragged their feet for more than a year. Since 2006 it has no human administrators and is completely autonomous.

> Purportedly, when the human-generated global QNN system colonized orbiting satellites it was able to evolve itself to reach the Earth's magnetopause. When it began to colonize this environment it discovered, to everyone's surprise, that the region was ALREADY INHABITED by a primitive and ancient (billions of years old!) form of the same type of brane-style QNN 'entity'. Rather than commit genocide by completely replacing this 'primitive version' it staked out a 'reservation' for the old form and leaves it alone there, where it exists to this day and will likely continue to exist until the Sun dies.

> I suggest that the old form of the QNN nanotech 'pattern', resident in a reserved part of Earth's magnetosphere, is an extraterrestrial life form. It is not 'intelligent'. It surely didn't evolve on Earth's surface, making it distinctly 'extra-terrestrial' in origin. One can argue, with a Carbon-based Biology bias, that it's not 'alive'. I personally think it qualifies as 'life', if it actually exists.

In hindsight, I think it was truthful.
You shouldn't analyze an owner occupied house as the same type of investment that a real estate investor does.

The biggest reason is the source of funds you're using is your rent money. You can't invest your rent money in stocks, bonds, or real estate. But you can 'invest' it in an owner occupied property. You just don't have the flexibility that a normal investor has and as a result the return will be lower.

Also the best dodge I ever saw was a friend did a 100% refi of his house at 2.5% to buy a rental property outright.

It's already underway, and already ballooning in cost. It started under Obama. $1.5 Trillion as a minimum[0].

Sentinel ICBMs, B-21 bombers, and Columbia Class SSBNs.

"The Air Force told Congress January 18 that the newly estimated cost of each LGM-35A Sentinel has jumped from $118 million in 2020 to $162 million today. That’s a 37% spike."

... The service’s original 2016 estimate for the program was $62.3 billion. Then it ballooned to $95.3 billion. The latest projection suggests its new cost could be nearly $132 billion."[1]

This was a great piece! He really writes in a room with a group of people. He avoids writing alone because there is too much time to fuck around and do nothing, surf the net in today's terms. That is so true. I love working at home alone, but at times I'll get stuck for days, messing around, accomplishing nothing.

Then boom, it hits me and I'm back doing great work. Or at least doing some more "useful and productive" work.

That's based on deaths per mile, right? I'm not sure that is the best way to compare different kinds of transport.

For an extreme example imagine a company that offers trips to the Andromeda galaxy on a fleet of starships. Each ship carries 100 passengers.

There's a 99% chance that the ship explodes when they turn on the warp drive which kills everyone on board. If the ship doesn't explode it will make it safely to the destination.

The passenger fatality rate for that service is only 0.0000000000000069 fatalities per mile. That's nearly 5 orders of magnitude lower than the rate for commercial airlines. It's over 8 orders of magnitude lower than for cars.

But I doubt many people here would consider that to actually be safer than the drive to the spaceport.
Having gone through a pen collecting phase, i think you need to give some details.

1. A budget.
2. Writing preferences and handedness.
3. Preferred writing surface/media.
4. Body type

For 2, that would include:

a) tip type - rollerball, ballpoint, fountain, or 'marker'.

b) tip size/diameter (essentially contact surface area) e.g. 0.17mm-1.0+mm

c) 'ink' type - gel etc.

Handedness matters mostly because left handers typically want the fastest drying ink.

Writing surface (paper) is important because it can drastically change how a pen writes (especially for fountain pens).

The body type might include approx. thickness (compared to an average pencil maybe), body material (metal, plastic, wood), contoured grip (yes/no, material?), and retractability.

If you don't know any of those, I would say just try to define what quality would mean to you.
Suppose Car is C.

The only possible options are (equally likely)

You choose A and get shown B
You choose B and get shown A
You choose C and get shown A
You choose C and get shown B

4 options. You lose 50% of the time.

The 2 options where you would normally get the 2/3 odds are explicitly ignored when you are told Monty chosen randomly and randomly got a goat.

You choose A and get shown C or you choose B and get shown C are forbidden.

50/50 probability on the dot.

If Monty chooses with intention then the options where you choose goat and are shown goat double in probability so you get back to 2/3
Indeed, it's all good :-)

That's very fair, I'd want to know percentages before signing up too. Personally my family learned "TIP is legit" through word of mouth as well as through FAI's public Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/885290875293805/) which is super helpful for getting the scoop from families-- good and bad.

The family that introduced us to TIP had struggled with OIT. Fwiw TIP claims 99% success rate versus OIT's ~80%, but I understand this is the very contention point being discussed here. FAI does report TIP statistics (https://public.domo.com/embed/pages/X6NX5). Anecdotally from my 6 years as an (adult) patient at FAI, the "99% success rate" seems entirely plausible to me; it is very rare to hear of complications -- for example almost nobody on the internet makes posts about negative TIP reactions because everyones experience is indeed overwhelmingly positive.

However, none of this dismisses it's a huge bummer FAI isn't getting TIP clinically proven right now -- it'd be a much easier sell to prospective families than needing them to chat with other parents on Facebook about how really legit it is.

Deciding to not trust TIP is also totally fair. Everyones journey with food allergies are different. Completing TIP also takes an extraordinary amount of personal sacrifice too (I for one took a gap year away from school to finish). But as another food-allergic who's scientifically minded and initially thought "where's the research to back this up" too before enlisting, I feel almost obligated to share my story.
I thought the engineers turned in the receipts in hopes of being reimbursed for the critical purchase that the accountants then get to decide if it meets their definition of critical.

You're correct, but so is the person you replied to; they wrote their comment confusingly, though.

PGT-A testing is very common in IVF and will catch Down Syndrome. Essentially no births from IVF (a growing percentage of all births) have Down Syndrome.

As you mention, this testing is done after an embryo has been created.
Quite a few people in this thread assume that the AWS key id is part of a "security by obscurity" "protection in depth".

This will probably be downvoted, but if you read this anyway: this is a good example of why "security by obscurity" is not a good defense. You will overlook something (a determined attacker will not)

Anything non-"security by obscurity" does not depend on you understanding something or not - it will apply, no matter what, as long as the attacker hasn't a genius on payroll which cracks e.g. AES-256 just so (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEkrWRHCDQU)
Actually hyperactivity is very common in adult ADHD, it just manifests differently. It tends to take the form of repetitive movements like shaking a foot, rocking a leg, fidgeting with your hands, etc. It's sort of a naturally developed coping mechanism.

People with adult hyperactive/impulsive or combined type ADHD often don't think of this as hyperactivity, partly because they're so used to it they're barely aware of it, or the fact that it's not normal.
> Decent C and C++ developers shouldn't take that long to grasp the borrow-checker. Those that don't can't be trusted coding C or C++ in the first place. Because they don't have a good enough mental model of memory management to deal with it manually.

In fairness to C and C++ developers: while often the problem is not understanding memory management, sometimes the problem is understanding it and having a model that doesn't mesh with borrow checking, or having a problem that needs some additional work to map into something easy to write in safe code. For instance, it takes some additional knowledge in Rust to know that if you want to build a graph, you 1) should almost always use an established graph library and not write your own, and 2) if you do need to write your own graph, you either need to use Rc, have an array of nodes and use indices, or use unsafe and raw pointers and provide a nice safe well-tested wrapper.

(I'm one of the developers of Rust, and I think it's important to characterize languages fairly.)
By blue hair and pronouns crowd, they're referring to the "gay as an aesthetic" types. You don't need to be gay to be queer anymore, it's simply a performative fashion trend to be sold to teenagers at the mall. That's the entire point of the essay.
It's an interesting point you raise. You're correct in that our current target audience primarily covers the companies that provide services to healthcare providers instead of actual healthcare providers.

For more context, HIPAA breaks companies into two categories: (1) Covered Entities, which are healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, and (2) Business Associates, which are companies that process PHI on behalf of Covered Entities.

Behavioral/mental health providers fall into the Covered Entity category, and their requirements under HIPAA are different than those of Business Associates. Our services are currently focused on supporting Business Associate needs.

Yes, good to emphasize that UEFI or genuine BIOS motherboards will access the USB drives on powerup, then any OS that can boot from that type partition layout can go forward from there. DOS, W9x, NT5 need CSM enabled to boot on a UEFI MB, W7 loves it as well.

W98 would install and run from USB too, as long as USB device drivers did not get installed. That way once booted if you plugged something into a USB socket on the MB, it was "unknown" and remained inaccessible. But if you booted when the second USB device was plugged in beforehand, W9x (or DOS) assigned an alphabetic drive letter and you could access the files.

Sometimes I still use a small FAT32 partition with simple DOS on a Syslinux'ed volume to boot distros from the NT5 bootloader. That way you can edit the Linux multiboot menu in Windows, or even DOS which sure boots a lot faster today.

Now they have USB enclosures for M.2 drives, usually not both NVMe & SATA flexibility though.

Allegedly but with low yield rates and leveraging ASML+Nikon DUV products.

Not to say that Chinese vendors won't eventually crack that nut, but it'll take several (3-7) years. Also, domestic design capacity seems to be somewhat lacking (though rapidly changing)

The most cutting edge domestic lithography tool China has is SMEE's 28nm one - that's still a MASSIVE accomplishment, but still significantly far from 20/16/14/7nm processes.

Even Russia had domestic capabilities for 28nm fabrication at scale in the 2010s.

That said, for most military use cases, this is more than enough.

"Opportunity is everywhere" is another way of saying that, starting from any situation, you can improve your lot by being creative and taking the initiative. It would be hard to prove either way, but in my experience there is some truth to it. Our limitations are largely self-imposed.

Cool looking game. Added to my Steam wish list. I'm curious about the scale of the game. Aside from the unique concept, the combat reminds me of Mount and Blade quite a bit, but the scale looks larger. How many individuals are there on the battlefield?

Why would Microsoft want to sell, and why would Apple want to buy?

As I understood it, the point of Bing was for Microsoft to have a good-enough search engine so that Windows users would accept the default. They could leverage that the way Google does, to lock users into a whole ecosystem of tools.

If that was right, Apple would have no interest in buying it. They can surely do their own search engine.

And Microsoft wouldn't want to sell it. They'd need something to anchor their web ecosystem. Bing is a brand more than a technology.

I don't doubt that TFA is right that they did try to sell it. But I have no idea why.
