Only because Celtic tradition were eradicated. Early witch hunts probably ended the last remnants of our Celt heritage, and those happened after marriage was taken over by priests in the early middle age, at least in France.

The non-merchand role a celt woman with money could have was teacher, arms teacher (weirdly, we have text about that, probably because it was rare enough to be written about) or healer. That last tradition probably survived longer than druidism in my area (it is also linked to being a midwife, which was a part of life that Christian priests ignored), and was the initial target of witch hunts.

(Also, poisoning people, and especially rapists, would be something Celts women would have been very happy to do, considering Boudicca's reaction to her daughters' rape)

> I've spent no small amount of time thinking about my own mind and thought patterns, but I've never thought I was special.

I don't see how that can be. You have no experience of anyone else subjectively. For all you know, you could be a 'brain in a jar' with inputs coming in via wires, other people could be part of the illusion. The only thing you can say you know is your own present experience - it is infinitely special. Sure, when you consider yourself objectively, you appear to be like one of so many people. But, there's no getting away from the fact your own experience is infinitely special to you. And it has meaning/value to you because of emotions. Animals seem to, but these are not at the same level. Machines give no indication of emotions. AIs appear to have emotions, but this is a simulation/illusion - like those medieval wooden toys, but better.

> I can understand people entirely different to myself so I can empathize and work with them.

This is a form of projection, imo. You have no idea about what is going on inside others. You only have appearance to guide you.

> Honestly the more I see from LLMs the more it makes me think that we are much the same.

If you take a purely objective, materialistic viewpoint, why not consider it the other way - that we ourselves are a sort of AI, our hardware being wetware/bodies - just mechanistic. Do you think you are an AI? (As was illustrated in Westworld?)

I'm on 14.4 and using Jetbrain's IDE. So -this- is the reason my IDE randomly crashes. I'd been chalking it up to 14.4 but didn't have any specifics.

It's mostly fine, though. The crashes are rare, and since everything auto-saves, you're not really losing anything. It's just an "oh, okay." moment.

Obviously it'll be good when it's fixed, but on my personal list of impactful bugs, this doesn't crack the top 10.
How about not requiring accounts for all these different gadgets at all. What's wrong with being able to run whatever software you want on your VR headset or gaming tablet.
Some very good refutations here...really interesting perspectives too.

I like this one:

Worker protection, ok, US worker protection globally known for being great? If im China a train-line is built 10x as fast, then even assuming higher insure rate, the overall project might be safer.

I'd say absolutely no, it's not great, only when you want it to be for making an argument to support a narrative I guess :)
And operating illegally.

I'm not a fan of how taxis in Australia are operated, but the law was there to prevent unapproved businesses to pick up passenger.

The law was ignored and it impacted real people who had owned taxi licence plates, sometimes for generations. At $350k a pop, it was an asset that came under attack.
I am finding it hard to come to terms with the power and thermal figures. The CPU draws 320watts and likes to operate at 100 degrees Celsius. The CPU uses adaptive boost technology to pull more power to get to the 100C temperature mark. Again, from the review, most enthusiast motherboards default to limits near 4096W of power and 512A of current.

Compared to house hold appliances, with 4000watts of power, you can run 3 microwaves (at 1200 watts), more than 5 refrigerators (at 800 watts), a reasonably sized central air conditioning unit (though 5KW models aren't that rare), etc.

These power and thermal figures make me wonder why Intel is not moving towards Apple's design philosophy behind the M1, M2, M3 series of chips.

Liraglutide is a GLP-1 very similar to semaglutide, but at this point I think Ozempic is the "Kleenex" of GLP-1s. I'd be very surprised if one GLP-1 had a particularly different post-use profile than another.

The Common Criteria is broadly and comprehensively used and covers most major product categories. There is no product security standard more widely used and internationally accepted and most major vendors already certify against it.

It is just that they all certify at the lowest levels of compliance because they are incapable of doing better. To compare against PCI DSS, it is like everybody is compliant… at Level 4. Or like having a certified apprentice electrician wiring up your substation. It is obviously wrong and inadequate, but people have been convinced to have warm fuzzy feelings when they see the word certified no matter how low of a certification level was chosen.

It is why everything gets hacked all the time, everybody is deploying systems that are certified insecure and inadequate for their operating environment.
Well, unfortunately in this article there are claims that can be explained to be completely false from our anatomical understanding of the human body - such as the idea that it is impossible to snore with your mouth closed.
That is one way to extend the encoding from 4-byte chunks to arbitrary byte lengths.

Another is to encode 4k+i bytes as 5k+1+i base-85 characters, for 0<i<4. That way the encoding length immediately determines the input length.
And there's again plenty of space since 85^{i+1} > 256^i for i < 4.

This leaves encoding lengths of 5k+1 unused. These could be used to support arbitrary bit lengths, i.e. for encoding an input of 4(k-1) bytes + i bits, with 0<i<32. Set the final byte to i, and let the preceding 5 base-85 characters encode the i bits with 0 padding.

I don’t like this trend of closed source projects releasing on GitHub personally.
It makes it difficult to determine the license (which is important) at a glance.

Even some projects that offer only APIs on GitHub make it seem like they’re more open source than they are, putting the whole project info into the readme.
Some people care about visibility into the software that runs on their machine.
I can't possibly imagine sleeping posture being such a a pristine research area that there is no prior work on the topic
It has how in the article:

> IN 1979, THREE STUDENTS AT Sul Ross State University decided they needed a spot away from campus to study. And why not grind on those exam reviews with a view? So Jim Kitchen, Bill Wagner, and Travis Miller carted a desk up to the top of Hancock Hill, north of campus.
Citation needed. My understanding is that the only computers that were built this way were super computers using ecl logic. One of the key features of cmos logic was that is was much lower power when nothing was being done. Now admittedly DOS and I think windows95 liked to use busy waits and this does not help matters. But I still think the system got hotter under heavy load. Now I wish I still had an old pentium box around so I could measure power draw with dos and prime95.

Which one is more important ? :)
I'm fairly sure the cause of back pain is sitting at desks, not the position I'm sleeping in.
The "safe fetch" code relies on a signal handler (either here https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/48717d63cc58f693f0917e61... or here https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/3c70f26b2f3fa9bc143e2506...), which is considered asynchronous delivery (i.e., delivered mid-execution, see `man 7 signal`) - which is why the `async-signal-safe` manpage simply states that it is functions that can safely be called within a signal handler.

This is opposed to calling `sigwait` or similar to actively suspend and wait for a signal, which is not possible to do here.

Granted, it may be that the stars align and their implementation works in practice, but that does not make it any less bizarre.
I agree that this is very different from traditional content agreements. Apple is a very conservative company. They may not want to be trailblazers when it comes to working out how compensation of creators is going to work in an AI context.

What appears to be happening right now is that Google, OpenAI, et.al. are negotiating individual agreements with large publishers if and when threatened with legal action.

I'm not sure this will be sufficient. There will be calls to introduce some sort of AI tax or other forms of collective compensation schemes to funnel money to independent creators, small businesses, museums, etc.

This is all very much up in the air and it will take many years if not decades to settle.
They do, check Lunar Lake
I've found the exact opposite of that in practice. Had way more problems with tearing down CDK stacks
I find it difficult to imagine how a change like this (sending a SIGKILL to the process instead of SIGSEGV on a page fault) can be done in the final release and not in one of the EA releases or betas. It is clearly a breaking change with no easy workaround (since SIGKILL cannot be caught), for a behaviour which is well defined by POSIX.

Even if you momentarily ignore the reasons why someone thought this could be a good idea, why not do it in one of the pre-releases or betas??? Doesn’t look like the kind of thing you’d want to do in a last minute change.

The real problem in my opinion is the fact that you cannot go back after a macOS upgrade. So if something like this happens, you literally have no option but waiting for Apple to release a fix, if they want to do it at all.
You can either try meeting people where they're at and understand the issues they're having; or continue to try to shame them into getting thinner.

Past ~30 years have shown us that the latter _very clearly_ doesn't work, but sure, a "dangerous cult".
I write CloudFormation for a living. I had been quick to disregard CDK, and sort of ignored it for a while.

I tried it on a recent greenfield project, and now I’m kicking myself for not giving it a try in earnest earlier.

That's great advice, except for reality getting in the way. Every study on this shows that you are as likely to get good results telling people to "just eat less and exercise more" as you are telling depressed people to "just be happy. Can't be that hard. What do you even have to be sad about?" Your body is highly motivated to maintain your weight set point, adjusting your BMR and pushing you towards compensatory eating.

Basically every long-term weight loss study shows that you will regain 80%+ of the weight you lose through diet and exercise over a few years. [1]

> Specifically, it has been estimated that for each kilogram of lost weight, calorie expenditure decreases by about 20–30 kcal/d whereas appetite increases by about 100 kcal/d above the baseline level prior to weight loss. Despite these predictable physiologic phenomena, the typical response of the patient is to blame themselves as lazy or lacking in willpower, sentiments that are often reinforced by healthcare providers [...] [1]

Obesity is a disorder of the GABA-ergic central nervous system, which is, I suspect not coincidentally, where GLP-1s work.

> These drugs are expensive and have nasty side effects.

They're expensive because they work, and previously the only clinically proven effective alternative was bariatric surgery. That's both more risky, and much more expensive. The side effects are actually minimal, and during the clinical trials very few people dropped out due to side-effects. The newer dual- and triple-receptor agonists have yet fewer side effects.

Sounds like it should be able to split the code into functions with inferred API, then you should be able to fuzz these functions in binary and source versions.

He did plug it in once, but because he wasn't able to make insulation for the wires, the toaster started melting itself about 5 seconds in. Thwaites considers it a partial success.

Sometimes it's equally surprising to me that some people have so much time on their hands to pursue things like this...
Same issue with Alitalia flight 404[0], which crashed in Zurich. An airport not known to be significantly dangerous to approach.

The first officer initiated a go around, which the captain aborted. The issue probably could have been avoided if the captain would have trusted the first officer. There were other issues involved but this was the main error.

The CIA have been conducting clandestine operations in Ukraine from the beginning of the colour revolutions until present day. If your view of Ukraine begins on February 22, 2014, you're missing a huge chunk of the picture - either disingenuously, or through dire ignorance.

>many countries in Europe have a "CIA coup"

Yes, they do indeed, because the CIA views Europe as an enemy to the superiority of the American people, and performing these kinds of coups is entirely within its purposes as a counter-democratic, sovereignty-invalidating agency.

> Is it a "CIA coup" every time a parliament holds a vote of no confidence to remove someone from a public office?

Quite often, yes it is. The CIA conduct operations forcing the political change they want to see - and this definitely occurred in the case of Ukraine. See also, the Whitlam government in Australia, where they refined the technique.
I'm having flashbacks from writing my Master's thesis. The experimental part was done in two weeks, then I spent a week describing the results, then a few months going from 15 pages to 80 pages and at least 30 citations, with the latter being surprisingly difficult because of uniqueness of my research topic.
There is a search bar right above this article if you want to look that research up. This is some physiotherapist recording his opinion; based on field experience. I'm going out on a limb and saying none of the other researchers in the field have been writing about his experience so there isn't anything to cite.
Primary research does not include simply stating “this is my opinion” - and this article also does not consist of someone stating their opinion, it is someone claiming to describe widespread behaviors and explanations for them.
Having lived in the USSR, I certainly prefer late stage capitalism.
Ok, well I think it's all guess work at this stage because we've not seen anything like you're describing in action. I just fundamentally can't see something more capable then us wanting to work for us.

Apple doesn't EOL the last OS version when the latest comes out. I think they mean they wait a few months to make sure all the issues have been worked out.
"Hex(adecimal)" is not an encoding scheme, it's a number basis. "Binary 00000" as a number is just zero, which is written equivalently as "0", "00"... in hexadecimal. This is different from a chunk of data consisting of six bits that all happen to be zero. And indeed, you need to decide on how to convey that, and simply saying "hex" - or "binary" or "decimal" for that matter - is not enough, that is correct.

Right so it’s present in all shipping versions of Java back to at least 8, and the reproduction case works fine on Sonoma pre-14.4. Ergo, Apple changed something in 14.4 (a minor patch release), and it broke something in Java. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

It’s possible that Java was doing something very weird, maybe undocumented/unsupported; but it’s not clear how this is anything other than Apple making a change (which I don’t see documented in their release notes) and breaking users.
RC apps are significantly more likely to succeed. The overall “success rate” is (much) lower
Without bats feasting on mosquitoes the life on the North at summer would be unbearable.
Yeah, I've been hearing about that, too. And yeah, it's probably a nuisance. I'm wondering how this extends to running Java inside docker... If you're a dev and you run a lot of Java code locally during development and testing, this would bea real nuisance... .
you're wrong. I'm a previous maintenaner (before the replicant name change).

the whole project was done by teenagers extracting blobs.

then, one, a single, Samsung model was chosen as the holygrail for no other reason other than two devs had it. they worked on reverse engineering some of the essential blobs and providing very crude drop ins (thing barely functional. absolutely no power efficiency concerns, etc).

that one device then got older and cheaper and more devs got it. continue to reverse engineering.

today, a decade latet, that model is very old. functionality is still stuck on 2g or 3g for a 4g modem.

...if modem is that far behind take a guess how bad is the rest of the components.

it's a shit show. and you are correct in that this one is indeed the best example of a fully open source driver mobile.
I never understood the overpricing of ebooks...

A price of a book is a price of the "data" inside (copyright) + price of paper, printing, binding, packing material and distribution

A price of an ebook is a price od the "data" inside (copyright) and the price of cheaper digital distributon.

So, you save on paper, boxes, trucks, you often also save on retailers (if you sell directly), and you want more money for that? No paper for me, and you also take resale options away.. and for more money?

Just the resaleability is a scam... if you bought it, you own it. If buying isn't owning (including reselling, reading on any device, etc.), then piracy isn't stealing.

I'm sure government regulation could solve both problems, but they're more interested in screwing the "normal people" instead.

The most underrated technology is the bicycle.

It the least discriminatory mode of transport: it caters to all ages, almost-all abilities (1). It give you free exercise, its good for the environment, for the community, for the local economy (small commercial shops benefit from cycle infra, ask notjustbikes and search it)

The reason we dont use the bicycle more often is because cars. Cars monopolized our streets taking most of the space making conditions too hostile for many to cycle.
We then built cities (actually bulldozed cities) for the car and now distances are just too big (specially in the US).

Build cities for people not machines.

(1) I am including trikes and wheelchairs, and anything on wheels powered by humans.
So this will break IDEs and anything that uses the JVM natively on macOS. But if I’m reading the bug report right, should leave dockerized JVM services intact?

This is why most enterprise workplace tech teams don’t roll out any OS level updates immediately. Regardless of whether they are on windows or macOS. Also a good idea to disable automatic updates on all devices that you use daily.
It’s crazy to think about how little
we actually know about how the human body functions- not even to say what an “optimal” sleep position might be, but even a high quality study on how different sleep positions might affect the physiology of the body. I have yet to find any real serious scientific analysis of this.
> The argument is that good business spots are a limited community resource that it makes sense to tax, like radio spectrum. If you can make good use of the space you're taking up, go ahead, but you should compete fairly with other uses of the space.

If it's really such a prime desirable spot then that would drive up the value of the land to the point that the low value business wouldn't have been able to afford it?

I don't understand saying it's such valuable land and detaching that from what a business was actually able to pay for it.

> So theft is up in NYC and no other major cities, that’s considered an outlier in that case. Everywhere else, theft is down and not an issue.

That's extrapolating too much from what the article actually claims. It only says that shoplifting incidents "in major cities" (whatever that means) as a whole has gone down. That's not the same as "So theft is up in NYC and no other major cities". Moreover, the claim you made isn't that thefts are down on average across the country, it's that "It’s never theft". Even if it's just new york, that invalidates your "It’s never theft" claim. Murder rates are down across the country as well, but that doesn't mean you can claim it's "never murder".

>Your argument against the second article was “maybe those poor corpos just aren’t reporting crime” lol. Shrink includes numbers for all lost or destroyed inventory not just theft, btw.

>Get real comrade.

1. Is "maybe those poor corpos just aren’t reporting crime" really that hard to believe? The National Crime Victimization Survey puts the reporting rate for property crimes to be 26%. Once you stack non-response to the actual survey on top, you'd be a fool to take any self-reported crime statistics at face value.

2. True, shrink could be caused by other factors, btu is there any reason to believe that "lost or destroyed inventory" would have gone up? I find it baffling that you dismiss the idea of retailers not reporting thefts, but are seemingly convinced of the idea that retailer reported shrink is caused by other factors without providing any justification, "comrade".
