are rockets always blowing or is the occurrence of launches/new platforms increasing? I think it's the latter and we should expect more launches/new platforms and explosions over the next decade in comparison to the last decade.
No, it doesn’t work reliably, which is why they removed it. It’s better not to have a tool than having a security tool that might work.

Also IIRC secure delete is useless on APFS volumes as they are always fully encrypted, even when FileVault is not enabled.

Because you make lots of predictions, and smooth out the numbers. If the events you give 8% probability actually happen 35% of the time, you aren't as calibrated as you are if they happen 10% or 5% of the time. The calibration numbers measure how much you are off by.
Awesome, thanks for sharing. Three cheers for "preemptive guerrilla maintenance." Congrats on 40 years
They're not.

The vast majority of rockets that simply work don't make the news.
So now every wrong password is using 2 attempts?

You either have to double the number of failed attempts before a lockout or deal with users getting locked out much quicker.

Thus causing more frustration than if you'd done nothing at all to address the capslock issue (that they're going to have to notice and fix anyway at some point, when they inevitably need to type again)

I believe it's more the states with no state income tax at all plus those that have a state-provided version of "direct file" already available.
Base rates work pretty well, at least for all cause mortality... hurricane counts per year, and financial markets (over very short time periods). I was using the Good Judgment project as motivation to practice R programming for a while, until one day I saw that literally EVERY person forecasting the ending value of the Hang Seng index tied to my probabilities. Therefore, EVERYONE was calculating base cases from historical market data and entering those results.
I once saw an aura in my dream. The dream went on for a while, and then I woke up. It turned out the aura was real, and somehow, it embedded itself in my dream.

Too bad they don't know the subscription pricing for these features, the one-time purchase pricing, or whether it will apply in the US as well (just EU is known so far).

I don't have high hopes that the pricing will be reasonable, but IMO as long as you can still buy it outright for a fair price (and when you sell it the next owner doesn't have to pay again), then I don't mind subscriptions being an option.

But my guess is that even if prices are fair to begin with, they'll eventually become unreasonable-seeming as consumers get accustomed to having in-car subscriptions.
Sometimes there's something else at play though, because there are situations which cannot be explained by offer and demand. For example, developers are paid less in average than for example some consultant jobs while in my view (and I'm a consultant) both the skills required for a developer are higher while additionally the available workforce (supply) is lower for developers as well.

I mean, consultants, they grow on trees and I know what I'm talking about, I sometines interview new hires as part of my job. Developers, less so.

I don't have an explanation for this, it's a strange effect. But it's just an example, I have observed multiple times this unexpected deviation from the law of supply and demand.

My point is, this law is not a sure fire way to explain any price.
Participant composition:

> A total of 120 individuals (46 men and 74 women) with BMIs between 27 and 34 kg/m2, were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the subjects was 17.8±5.7 years and 17.6±5.4 years in the placebo and experimental groups respectively.

> The majority of participants, approximately 98.3%, were non-vegetarian and 89% of them reported having a high eating frequency, with more than four meals per day.
Unfortunately buses and trains are only viable above a certain density, and many communities exist configured in such a way that they are intentionally low density. While metal mining might have an environmental impact, abandoning millions of existing homes and building new ones in cities not only also has a large environmental impact (concrete also isn't great for the environment), but it is also politically, economically, and practically unviable.

A mix of solutions will be needed to fix the variety of different and unique problems that exist.
That's not too surprising since the Cass review just looks at transgender care, and not anything else. There's tons of medication that's approved for one condition but not the other. See: hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

It's about balancing benefits with downsides and risks, and those can vary from condition to condition, and from case to case. The other day I saw a story about puberty in a 2-year old, which is quite a different condition than gender dysphoria.

All I know is the "harmless and completely reversible with no effects" is not backed by evidence, as people have been saying for years. I'd say that from what I know, puberty blockers are probably the right choice for a large number of kids with gender dysphoria, but probably not all. I doubt that "it's the right choice for 95% of kids, but it may or may not cause long-term effects, we don't really know" would be accepted for any other medication.

If people had been actually researching this instead of obsessing over JK Rowling and generally being an asshole on twitter then everyone would be better off by now, trans kids most of all.
The credibility and purpose of the article was shot down when they said the problem would be getting WORSE with EV's. Firstly, the problem becomes less of an issue with EV's and they shared no evidence to support that moving to EV's would increase non-exhaust based pollution. Lastly, there have been plenty of studies over the last two decades which show charged particles from car brakes.
haha, it needs some finesse to start swiping in from outside the trackpad
I think it's important to call out that 'base rate' means very different things to people who have taken an introductory Stochastics class. When you can bring in the memorylessness property of the exponential distribution, Poisson distributions and gamma distributions you can get some non-intuitive results.
Hmm... at that small of a scale, I'll bet you could change the localized pH near an electrode pretty fast with a reversible electrolysis reaction, given the proper choice of electrolyte(s).

Yep, just along as it is fed biased data, it can still reason based on faulty info.
The discussions are mostly about consent:

> Concerns about making irreversible changes to children’s bodies, and the impossibility of gaining their informed consent for this, have been at the heart of controversy over transgender medicine. In America 23 states have now restricted or banned such care for minors, even though almost all medical associations in America support it—an issue the Supreme Court has been asked to rule on. Much less focus has been on whether adult patients with psychiatric disorders can give informed consent for such procedures. On that matter the files are especially revealing.

> In the autumn of 2021 several practitioners mentioned that they had a high number of patients with dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple-personality disorder. The group discussed the challenges of gaining consent from each “alter” (alternative personality) before starting hormone therapy, particularly when the alters had different gender identities. Some members appeared to view DID primarily through the lens of identity. As one therapist put it: “I too would love to hear from others how we as clinicians…can work with these clients to honour their gender identity and fractured ego identities.” For a field sometimes accused of over-medicalisation, such “under-medicalisation” is just as troubling.
This is a strange one. Is it a mitzvah to eat mammals? Not that I'm aware, which means it's not a restriction on religious observance in practice. In fact, maybe the resulting change in diet is better for the world.

It's also a mitzvah to kill missionaries after due process (Deuteronomy 13:6-13:10). Luckily, there is no chance to implement such due process in the developed world, so that mitzvah can also be ignored.

> [6] “If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife you embrace or your friend who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known, [7] some of the gods of the peoples who are around you, whether near you or far off from you, from the one end of the earth to the other, [8] you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him. [9] But you shall kill him. Your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. [10] You shall stone him to death with stones, because he sought to draw you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
I'm the same here. I freak out every time I see a small dot of glare in my vision. Worse yet, I have floaters in my eyes, which often look like the start of a migraine since they obscure some of the vision — this is especially noticeable when reading text on a computer screen.
Read Superforecasters. Look at the two linked-from-article forecasting sites. Look up Adam Braff's blog - he runs an annual forecasting contest. Enter prediction markets. Read up about Brier scores. Try, fail, try and learn.

You do realize the FBI is a law enforcement agency, right? It is so commonplace and expected that they have literally issued press releases where they publicly claim to have hacked criminal networks [1].

For that matter, who do you think hired various domestic hackers out of jail?

At this point, the advantages of exploit development are so obvious and lopsided that you need evidence that an agency with motive is not engaging in exploit development. Even then, they routinely lean on the other agencies to get access to hacking capabilities that they might not have in-house, so the gap is even smaller if we talk about hacking capabilities.

Curious how this will be enforced. The stripper kia soul was sold without cruise control. But if you simply added the correct button and changed a wire harness, voila! Similarly, the hardware is obviously on the car, so will you have the right to try to use it independent of the software subscription?

There are going to be some interesting cases....

At least half of the article was a synopsis of Tetlock's books. So as a summary, it was okay. If it gets people to go and read the real research though, it's worthwhile.
Only very small piston airplanes, and the need fuel is being phased out. Areas immediately surrounding heavily used ga airports are occasionally seeing elevated levels but it's not a particularly potent source for the public. The issue is mostly employees at the airport being exposed while fueling and performing maintenance.
I feel like its design will end up creating a separate space by itself. The kinds of features, how the onboarding is set up, who the devs are, etc influences the kinds of people who sign up.
Most superforecasters are retired academics or quants. I wouldn't recommend the investment in time that it would require.
Not 100%, because there are nasty emissions associated with the generation of your electricity however you charge. For the record I have an EV(model Y) and drive that preferably over my other cars.
My statement is very clearly an opinion.
I’m not sure we went through the same dot-com era, but in my experience, it was extremely expensive to spin up anything. You’d have to run your own servers, buy your own T1 lines, develop with rudimentary cgi… it was a very expensive mess - just like AI today

Which gives me hope that - like the web - hardware will catch up and stuff will become more and more accessible with time
I will not purchase a car with a subscription, period. If others are doing that, please stop.
this is what happens when businesses are led by mbas and accountants, I'm sure the numbers look fantastic
The Charges That Can Nearly Double Your Uber or Lyft to the Airport
Ask HN: Any VoIP providers that offer STIR/SHAKEN?
Currently with Voip.ms. Our outbound caller id is being marked as "Likely Spam" to cellphone users within Canada.

Voip.ms is blaming the upstream providers. The upstream providers says Voip.ms isn't using STIR/SHAKEN (to which voip.ms has confirmed. they do not have it implemented).

Does anyone know of a voip provider that offers STIR/SHAKEN with their service? We're a legitimate business operating in Toronto.
Yeah, good question. A few years ago the answer may have been that we thought we could influence more money than we could make.

Fwiw, when I've tried it, it has tended to suck in a whole lot of my time.

For me, other projects seem more meaningful. E.g., right now I'm setting up this: https://alert-team.org, another member is behind https://theaidigest.org/progress-and-dangers, a third works at https://forecastingresearch.org/, etc. Maybe we're an idealistic bunch, but also maybe we're making a bad judgment call, and still yet it's possible we couldn't cut it.

Absolutely, I think most people probably mean Gnome when talking about the Linux Desktop. Which really says a lot about "most people" and how little I give a shit about their opinions.

The benefit however is that more people using Desktop Linux might force Hardware vendors (like Nvidia) to finally get their shit together.

This is incredibly common practice and AFAIK not even discouraged by Apple.

The app sandbox constrains the local storage data to the app which created the unique identifier. There is no third-party tracking opportunity here.
I know many that migrate to this from twitter

It's a protocol. There's frontends like warpcast that emulate twitter and flink which emulates reddit

I think there is a great desire for web-like application distribution to work well on smartphones, but with none of the drawbacks like poor rendering performance and lack of native features.

Of course, native apps that wrap web-based apps is almost the reverse of that, and we still often get laggy, sub-par experiences as a result of broader platform support for lower maintenance costs.

PWAs fill the opposite gap where you get native-like apps at the expense of low performance, distributed any way you like.

What we really need is for high-performance native applications to be distributable via the open web, and that's exactly what the EU is enforcing here, in a way. What would be better is for WebAssembly to take off and offer native performance in apps that can be visited at URLs, just like we're used to.
Yep, I stopped using Twitter so I don't need them anymore but they were a godsend at avoiding internet drama and discourse I had no desire to engage in. You pick someone famous at the center of the drama and let the algo do its thing blocking them, all their followers, all their followers followers and so on. It's a coarse heuristic to be sure but operating on the principle that I can live without any given person's tweets it made discovery so much nicer.
Do lawyer fees count as damages?
Perfect description. I will save it and show it the next time somebody asks me what it looks like.
> Uber’s app says the reservation fee “may vary depending on the location of the pickup address and/or the day and time of your trip. This fee is paid by riders for their driver’s additional wait time and time/distance spend traveling to the pickup location.”

I'd think the reservation would cut the cost, if anything. It gives Uber more time to find you a driver, and they can specifically ping drivers who live near you hours in advance to give them the chance to pick up a nearby passenger.

I've made reservations in the past — typically morning rides to the airport — but if they charge fees this high I won't bother. It would have to be surge pricing the next morning to make it worse than these reservation fees.
Good Judgment Open, Metaculus
Law enforcement agencies buy from exploit developers who supply complete toolchains; I don't know for sure but I kind of doubt the FBI staffs any vulnerability researchers, or even any CNI people.
I know that account may have been sentimental to you, but I can tell you first hand that the reddit admins really don't care about old users, or any form of loyalty if it's unrelated to their bottom line. If it doesn't enable their ad business in some way, you're just a distraction.
I strongly believe that cars should not be running internet connected software at all. This is a violation of your privacy waiting to happen, and in drive-by-wire vehicles, a homocide waiting to happen. Any of these subscriptions will require periodic phoning home, which means both the tower operators your car maker, and whoever they've done deals with will have specific, targeted information about you including your exact wherabouts, your financial information, and probably a mic and video camera feed in and around your vehicle. This is a dystopian nightmare. Maybe if the car was leased, or was a business vehicle, this could be justified, maybe. But for a personal vehicle your interaction with the manufacturer and dealer should be strictly limited. Given widespread ignorance about these capabilities and what they are used for, I'm in favor of regulation limiting these kinds of connections and transactions in personal vehicles. Some revenue streams are too dangerous and too risky to the public good to allow to exist.
Not so sure about this as I'm highly allergic to horses.
Eh, how hard could it be? We're already in space, just need a bit less planet in the way.
I have been loosely following Bluesky for awhile and read some blog posts now but haven't delved super deep. Can you expand on the "infrastructure takedowns"? Does this still effect third party clients? I am trying to understand to what degree this is a point of centralization and open to moderation abuse versus bluesky acting as a protocol and even if we really want to we can't take something down other than off our own client.
Edit, I wonder if they looked at the overall ingredients in the diet intake, specifically how much sugar vs, say, fats, carbs, grains, water their intake was..

It still is consumption, but I think we can both agree that not all consumption quality is equal. Consuming adorable cat videos* are a pallete cleanser, but doesn't advance you much. Meanwhile, some muesuems can really come out and give a person a wider world view or illuminating perspective of events taken for granted, which may change a person's approach to life.

*Nothing against cat videos, you can also have high quality pet content as well (e.g. learning how to take care of a cat or figuring out their wants/needs. Maybe even getting one of those word mats for a semblance of speech).
Republicans block bills because they're stuffed full of unrelated things (by design - that way they can easily be painted as the bad guys - which is working, see your own comment). I'm not saying that the reverse doesn't happen - perhaps Democrats are okay with bloated bills, I dunno.

Good rule of thumb is when a bill is blocked by one party, go find out everything that's in it and what parts the blocking party objected to. I guarantee it won't be the stuff the bill is named after.
