Page 11: "Hello, friends, and welcome to the “Results and analysis” section."

Page 15: "Hey, you, don’t skip this section this year! We know we keep repeating, “It’s always external criminals wanting your money” alongside dated pop culture references, but we have some interesting data points to discuss this year. Does this mean External actors are not the most prevalent? No, of course they are, silly. But since we got your attention, please read on."

Page 37: "In the cybersecurity world, or “the cyber biz,” as we call it, we certainly love our catchy terminology. Terms such as whaling, smishing, quishing, tishing, vishing, wishing, pharming, snowshoeing and plain old phishing are ever-present in the Social Engineering pattern. This makes sense because there are a lot of vectors on which we need to educate our employees and end users, and we’re positive that in another five years, there will be new ones that we will have to add to our list."
I'm not sure if I'd get behind that take, but folding screen phones are horribly impractical if you are even a little hard on your phone. The screens and hinges are fragile, I've yet to see one that feels like it'd last more than a year at least for me.

I actually have a first gen Surface Duo and it's held up, though its been relegated to the second device role since it stopped getting updates. Anything with an actual folding display has seemed weak IMO, I'd be afraid of breaking it or finding weird distortions in the screen after a bit of use.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital | Principal Software Engineer, Rust Genomics Infrastructure | Memphis, TN | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://www.stjude.cloud/

The St. Jude Cloud (https://stjude.cloud) project is hiring Rust software engineers to rebuild the genomics ecosystem in Rust. We work on the forefront of computational genomics by applying advanced computational techniques to analyzing genomics data then sharing that data with the world. Come work with the individuals that wrote the Rust-based bioinformatics library, noodles (https://github.com/zaeleus/noodles), as well as many other projects (https://github.com/stjude-rust-labs).

NOTE that prior experience in bioinformatics or biology is NOT required for any of the positions below. You must be interested in learning though! If you'd like to get a sense of what you'd be learning, check out the guide we wrote to teach software engineers about genomics here: https://learngenomics.dev.

Don't trust the server, trust the poster/client... that's really where the preview should be coming from anyway. And if you _don't_ trust the poster, you shouldn't be trusting anything they link you to anyway. It's trivial to lie to these preview generators with a couple of meta tags if the destination isn't trustworthy.

When COVID hit one of the few positives was that a lot of people joined in cross-discipline research to address it. This type of treatment sounds amazing, and I know mRNA vaccines were in development for a long time before COVID, but I have to wonder if this research would have taken a lot longer to happen had COVID not happened. What other secondary impacts has the research into COVID had?

> I feel a lot of sympathy for the GNOME developers. They are 15 years past the "let's build something cool!" stage and into the long, long grind of support and compatibility and being expected to work everywhere all the time.

They don't have to do that, you know. In fact, it's a pretty common complaint that it's rather difficult for new contributors to get involved with them stonewalling issue discussions and merge requests.

Volunteering is voluntary. They don't deserve sympathy for actively inflicting that onto both themselves and everybody else.

No one pretends it is progressive. Prop 13 and the group that supports it are from 1978, which is before the progressive moment was really a thing.

The supporters are explicitly non-partisan:

https://www.hjta.org/about-hjta/paccommittees/

The main issue is that while they were setting this up, they also arranged for a 66% voter threshold for renewing things like school funding.

Most districts around here are only 60-66% progressive, which means the schools are chronically underfunded (funding is 47th in the nation, despite California being one of the richest states).

Yeah. It's the vehicle weight combined with temperature fluctuations and water, ice, and salt. The worst case scenario is when the road develops tiny cracks that fill up with water and then the temperature drops, causing the water to freeze and expand inside those cracks. The cracks grow larger and then when the water thaws and evaporates it leaves behind those large cracks/voids which heavy vehicles collapse due to their weight, turning cracks into potholes.
Spin gravity in orbit has its own issues. Most notably you can't anchor the structure anywhere, so won't spin around the spin axis you want but around its center of mass. A center of mass that will shift as people move around, equipment is moved, etc.

Another issue is that you need a certain scale, otherwise the Coriolis force as well as differential gravity (the gravity at your feet being higher than that at your head) lead to disorientation and comfort issues. The lower limit seems to be about 40 feet, incidentally the size of a typical graviton on carnival on earth. That's quite a bit wider than the typical rocket, and for now we are much more comfortable with assembling stuff in a gravity well than in orbit.

Yes there were very serious software written in different Basic dialects.

One that I was interacted with was a CAD software written in QBasic. It was about civil engineering and static analysis tool for concrete buildings. You could export projects to dxf format so you could import into AutoCad to fix bugs and plot.

Funny how the name was MGCad and author insisted it stood for MegaCad. I suppose It was a nice coincidence that the Author's initials were MG :)
I really wish Livecode hadn't pulled their opensource/Community Edition (and I'd be very glad for someone to do something with that code).

Gambas is something I keep wanting to try and seems promising. EDIT: Other BASIC options include Twinbasic (looks to be stalled though) and Small Visual Basic.

I did one small app w/ Python and TKinter, but it was a dense wall of text/code when I was finished and not something I was interested in revisiting. I keep seeing suggestions that Python w/ QT support is supposed to be quite good.

One unlikely option is Google's Blockly (which I wish had a stand-alone desktop implementation which would make graphical programs), which has a nifty version implementing OpenSCAD:

https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/

which I've used a fair bit. Moving on from there, there is: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor which has the advantage of encompassing the entirety of OpenSCAD. It's also possible to wrap up Python using PythonSCAD.org

If you're willing to consider other node/line connection systems two promising options are:

You're just over generalizing it. You would burn time dealing with the way of the big 3 instead of learning what you're using and if you ever want to migrate out, you'll be burning more time than you may be able to afford.
Some people find the idea of circumventing rights (by leasing data from private companies that they'd otherwise be prohibited from collecting) outrageous. I'd also assume most people consider civil rights to be a key political issue.

You don't get to trample all over civil rights and then accuse the other side of "making it political".
That’s true, if admissions is made much more class-based, it would make it much easier for poor white kids to get in. I would disagree on sex though — my understanding is that most top schools (save MIT and Caltech) have a female-enriched applicant pool. Private schools are allowed to discriminate based on sex (at the undergraduate level only), and some admit to doing so.

That said, I am somewhat hesitant to ascribe much impact to the poor-white-kid effect. I doubt that most of these kids would even be aware of the recent changes. Maybe in a couple years word will get out (if in fact selective colleges do implement more class-based affirmative action, which is still an open question).
This is one of the worst things I've read on here. I hope it's a parody and that I'm just too stupid to understand it.

I don't think it's that hard to understand what the hell is going on with LLMs under the hood. Ultimately it's a weighted sample of the training data.

The existence of democracies, especially Taiwan, threatens Xi and the CCP's legitimacy. When the people of China compare their lives with those of other nations, they see democracies having something they want and cannot have. The people of China care about their own lives, and the threat to Xi & the CCP is that they will eventually demand changes or overthrow the them.

There has been an implicit agreement between the people & gov't, which allows the limitation of civil liberties in exchange for rapid progress in modernization and elimination of poverty. As that effort runs out of steam, and the economic system becomes stressed, the agreement begins to break down. One may also note how Jack Ma was reigned in as another thread of the agreement being changed unilaterally by the gov't.

This is a good point, and the infrared camera case is the one that came to my mind as well. That case can be easily distinguished on the grounds that Flock doesn’t use any super-human abilities (i.e., infrared sensors) to see the license plates. The Court would have to interpret it broadly, to prohibit use of technology that allows for rapid/broad collection of data at a scale that was not possible by human efforts alone. That may come, but it’s far from certain when (or what side of the line Flock would fall on).
That reminds me of a piece about the "source code" of one of the mRNA vaccines [0], which had an amusing bit showcasing how one kind of pre-pandemic research was hugely important in preparing the necessary tools for when they were needed:

> It turns out that, unmodified, freestanding Spike proteins collapse into a different structure. If injected as a vaccine, this would indeed cause our bodies to develop immunity... but only against the collapsed spike protein.

> And the real SARS-CoV-2 shows up with the spiky Spike. The vaccine would not work very well in that case.

> So what to do? In 2017 it was described how putting a double Proline substitution in just the right place would make the SARS-CoV-1 and MERS S proteins take up their ‘pre-fusion’ configuration, even without being part of the whole virus. This works because Proline is a very rigid amino acid. It acts as a kind of splint, stabilising the protein in the state we need to show to the immune system.

What about them? As long as they're universal, they can all simulate brains. Anything after Church and Turing is just window dressing. Notice how none of these new ideas claimed to change what could in principle be computed, only how much easier or more natural this paradigm might be for simulating or creating brains.
Anecdotally, those don't cure procrastination. They mostly cure issues with consistency and throughput once the task has begun. Starting the task is still the same hill to climb as it was before.

Your problem is low serotonin and historically you have been self-medicating. Don’t do that because it doesn’t work.

The best treatment is a balanced natural diet and natural environmental stimulus. Serotonin is produced from a critical amino acid that must be consumed from food.

Natural stimulus forces productive engagement that you cannot generate on your own, focused acute serotonin receptivity in the brain, even with stellar initiative. For example be responsible for something real like pets, subordinate human careers, challenging projects with goals, and so forth.

In my case as a dumb Army guy I am so much more alive when I am engaging with other soldiers in a managerial capacity and advisor. It does a complete 180 for any depressive mood I may have even though I am hyper introverted and find socializing exhausting.

I recommend visiting with your doctor for evaluation. Extremely low serotonin uptake in the brain is the medical commonality between ADHD and manic depression.

> Is the difference between yellow and orange not real?

"Yellow" and "Orange" are words, not facts about the universe. They correspond (loosely) to physical observations, at least when it comes to perceived colors (there are plenty of optical illusions which reveal the vast gulf between 'the color a thing is' and 'the color we perceive'). So I don't really know what you mean by "real" here, but is it an objective fact? No.
How about we have a Purge Day against marketers, advertisers, sales teams, greedy shareholders, and anyone who actively enshittifies every single aspect of life? How about we normalize that instead?

> Also if this sort of data optimization stuff actually does add new laws of physics, that seems weird, right? I guess maybe we’re just a game. But if the super-alien things are trying to study something, then these extra laws of physics would seem to be defects.

Unless the creators of the simulation have also derived that they, too, are in a simulation and so this “new” law of physics also holds in the one level up simulation.

Basically no one wants to be on this drug. By the time they're offering it to you it's probably in your best interest to consider it.
