"I will probably also not trust this guy in 2 years, unless he can convincingly explain why and how he changed."

As you correctly say, 'there are no simple solutions to a problem this complex as human trust' but your last point is telling. Let's assume your villain provides proof well beyond reasonable doubt that he has actually changed for the better the fact remains that most people will always remember the fact—even many, many decades later. Moreover, I'd suggest that incident forever changes one's perception of the person even if it's almost imperceptibly small.

I claim no great expertise in human nature but from my observations of others and of myself I'd suggest that it is human nature to retain these negative images even if one has no logical reason whatsoever to do so.

It seems to me this is one of the basic underpinnings that drives defamation and why so many have such strong opinions about it.

For instance, to my knowledge I've never been defamed in public nor do I know of any reason why anyone would bother defaming me. I'm hardly controversial, and although I'm certainly no saint, I can't think of anything I've done that's bad enough to warrant someone pursuing defamation against me. (No doubt, there have been many occasions where I've been called an idiot or perhaps even a ratbag in private but I don't consider these amount to defamation.)

Nevertheless, I remain mindful that I could be wrongfully defamed in public for the very reason that others will remember the fact well into the future even though the claim was without merit.

Perhaps this is an evolutionary trait developed out of self-protection or similar, but whatever the underlying reason many remain mindful of the potential damage defamation can cause whether a claim is factual or not.

Incidentally, I know someone who committed a misdemeanor as a youth many decades ago and has been well behaved and kept out of trouble since. That said, on rare occasions someone will still mention the fact.

No doubt the right to have certain facts about oneself forgotten is a complicated matter, and if opinions were scaled just about everyone would have a different view—and, no doubt, those views would again vary according to one's perception of the claimed or actual wrongdoing (if plotted, I'd venture to suggest everyone's opinions would be a 3D graph and no two graphs would the same).

As the old parable goes 'try to please all and you'll please none'.

There was a link posted a few months back to a startlingly hostile letter from a cabal of Republican legislators to the head of the SEC, effectively initiating a heavily intrusive investigation of the agency, after the agency proposed some modest regulation. Anyone recall the episode?

The T65 was a formidable phone. Very good audio too.

It's hard to drive with modern electronics because the bell is pretty heavy, and the speakers was well. But it's worth doing it.
Agreed. I work in medical device engineering, and >50% of our time relates to simulation in some way. A big part of our responsibilities is designing, implementing, or reimplementing models of various subsystems relevant to our devices so we can do preliminary estimates of safety or efficacy. Analyzing real world outcomes is also important, although I haven't been at the company long enough yet for that to catch up with simulation in terms of how much time we spend on it.

I'd say the closest description to us in the article is the practical research team. We have fairly clear business goals we are fulfilling with our work.
>But US manufacturing is primarily high end - stuff that’s extremely exacting, precise, and technologically advanced that sells to corporations and governments.

European here: I have some products made in USA in my house besides Intel CPUs and Micron DRAM/NAND: a plastic AeroPress coffee maker with paper filters, a plastic Oral-B toothbrush. Nothing fancy or expensive. Do those items strike you like some exotic, precise, high-margin widgets that only the US can make? Spoiler alert: they aren't, even after the EU import taxes and VAT.

So how come US can make mass market commodity tooth brushes and plastic coffee makers locally considering the high wages but we pretend it's not possible? I'm not american so I don't have the right perspective as the locals but from my vantage point it doesn't seem impossible that the US can make other stuff that's usually offshored to the cheapest bidder in Asia. To me, the issue seems corporate greed that refuses to do it, not that it's not possible to make profit making commodity goods in the US as the proof is in the pudding above.

Another proof is that I have a shit tonne of Swiss-made commodity goods in my house that aren't some nanometric precision widgets but for example my plastic trash can and another toothbrush, and Switzerland also has some of the highest wages in the world.
I feel the same way reading this. Nuclear tech sometimes comes across as a solution searching for a problem — here, a treatment searching for a disease.
I would argue that lots of useful code is an utter dumpster fire internally. That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to do better.

Radiation has benefits that your chemical cytotoxics do not. An individual tumor often comprises of many subclonal cancer cell populations, all of which could have unique resistance mechanisms to allow that subclone to survive and proliferate in the presence of a single cytotoxic payload (say from an antibody-drug conjugate).

Targeting cancer cells with a radioactive payload can bypass many resistance mechanisms common to cytotoxic payloads.

Pluvicto (lutetium-177) is one of the hotter radioligand therapies as of late (approved for metastatic prostate cancer). Take a look at Fig 1a here - the responses can be quite striking for patients with extensive metastatic disease: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnume.2023.1291...

What I find most interesting are the supply chain challenges and logistics for radioligand therapies. Given the half-life of the payload, this is not something one can just manufacture and set on a shelf for the next patient. And of course the regulations involved with anything radioactive provide additional challenges.

ekxide's iceoryx2 Deep Dive – Service Attributes
Months ago, a friend and I founded a company called https://ekxide.io to continue the development of iceoryx2. It's a library that enables incredibly fast data and signal exchange between processes (zero-copy IPC middleware).

We now have our first customers, which has allowed us to accelerate open-source development. With this in mind, we wanted to start providing regular updates on what's happening, what new features are available, and also to gather feedback and critiques. Our goal is to stay in close touch with the community and create a library that solves real-world problems.
What underlying result are you hoping the long term fixation on asking this question going to resolve? The developer is Chinese and probably doesn't care what someone else's preferred distro is or maybe they are associated with it - what difference does it make to why it's on the site and why not just ask them directly about it instead?

If you mean to just highlight the association with Deepin it doesn't need to be guised as a question.
not many languages go that far as to allow to redefine what "call" is/does, for example. Though, some do.

"Baba is you" is pretty cool, it is not only about changing rules, it also at some point plays with what language is, and you can even stretch it to explore some platonic ideas.
When I read json I always end up holding onto values from some of the keys. Sometimes the keys too if the node is abstract enough.

I assume the receiver then has to know it has to clone all of those values, yes?

That seems a little tricky for general code and moreso for unit tests.

Show HN: Collate multiple PDFs into one with cover and automatic TOC
collatepdf is a quick-and-dirty Python script I wrote for my own needs to collate multiple PDFs into one (essentially for printing purposes) with the following features:

* an optional cover page,

* automatic table of contents generation with global page numbering,

* automatic page resizing to ensure all pages in the collated PDF have the same dimensions,

* an overlay bar on each page with the current file name and global page number.

This is alpha-quality software (no tests, minimal documentation etc). Use at your own risks. Hope some will find it useful!

Anaximander's idea of evolution was basically just speculative fiction.

He simply suggested that man and animals came from water with no evidence whatsoever, and that early man must've needed to survive in the mouths of fish to withstand the elements.

Darwin actually collected scientific data and observations from finches, fossils, and brachiopods to substantiate his claims. The key observation needed to make the theory work was an understanding that the Earth was millions of years old, which was only recently established (speculated by folks like his grandfather Erasmus Darwin and confirmed by his colleague Charles Lyell)
called systemd-ssh-generator, which lets VMs and containers accept SSH connections so long as systemd can find the sshd binary – even if no networking is available.

Recently I'm getting some strange behavior from ChatGPT (with GPT-4) where it outputs a code snippet in which it declares a variable, and then on the very next line it forgets the name of the variable and refers to it as something else. Or it refers to the variable but it makes a typo in the name.

If that's the behavior by one of the best models on a few lines of code, I'm not hopeful for a world simulator any time soon unless we see another big leap in model quality.
Good-enough seems to be the sweet spot. After that I think you run into diminishing returns.

This project operates by first building the webassembly module into an ELF binary and then statically linking this against the Mewz library OS in order to become a unikernel binary.

It looks still very early days in terms of supporting all libc/syscalls as well as support for different platforms.

I wonder how this compares in terms of performance to https://unikraft.org which is able to do the same but is a more establish libOS/unikernel project (disclosure I am a maintainer of Unikraft :-)) since this is written in Zig and Unikraft is written in C.
Also knowing when the thought doesn’t actually count. Being “well-meaning” at the expense of another person is not love. It dismisses their needs as less important than your need to feel as if you did some kind act.

I'm a researcher in one of the more "applied" subfields of CS (security and privacy), and we absolutely use standard software engineering tools day-to-day. You're not going to be a productive member of a research group if you don't know how to navigate the tools of the trade. Research isn't about using Git, Bash, or Docker, but you're dead weight if you can't wield those.

I almost want one of these, except I have no use for it nowadays. Ventoy didn't even work the one time I tried it, probably because it couldn't hook nixos's initrd properly.

But also, I'm insanely frustrated that (1) Google doesn't allow USB Gadget mode to do this from stock Android (2) the app that appeared to work for LineageOS/rooted devices is abandonware.

There's no good reason why your phone can't serve up ISOs with gadget mode.

I already travel with my ancient Pixel 3a as a backup (which has come in handy, clumsy me). It would be slick to have that as a portable ISO host, and backup phone. (Ignore the USB2 USB-C port, it's fine.)
It developed out of a dissertation at MIT (honestly a pretty damn impressive one IMO) and it seems like without some sort of significant support from universities, foundations or corporations, it would be pretty difficult to “monetize” - these in turn require some sort of substantial industry adoption or dogfooding it in some other job/contracts, which is tough I assume.
He's lying. The people who build his phones in China do so for less than $3 per hour. That sounds pretty low labor cost to me.

Sure, one could probably find even lower labor costs elsewhere, and the infra in place is definitely a benefit, but let's not pretend we couldn't just as easily do it in the US if it weren't for those pesky labor costs.

Somewhat related, Yann LeCun posted a few months back about how many concepts aren't understood through language and therefore can't be modeled through it (which is why LLM's are terrible with things like position and direction).

Yes, a hell of a lot.
It seems hard to get a baseline, though. We experience the universe continuously, and so we see examples constantly with various levels of applicability. Mostly we manage to leverage similar experiences (we roll a ball and have some expectation based on decades of rolling balls, how a ball ought to roll). Lots of things in the physical world fit these sort of analogies pretty well.

I actually think a good source of really novel experiences is videogames, because they have (often poorly programmed) mechanics that aren’t constrained by the real world. And discussion around that stuff is full of errors—hold down and b to catch more Pokemon!—I don’t think we generalize in truly novel situations very well at all.

Because AI’s don’t have thousands of hours of marble rolling and rock skipping, how can we evaluate their ability to study fields and waves?

> Have you seen Miracle on 34th Street, where Kris Kringle convinces Macy's and Gimbels to tell their customers that their competition has what they're looking for? That isn't as fictional as Santa Claus. I was in a Walmart yesterday when I heard a clerk tell a customer that the hardware store down the street has the thing that Walmart didn't. It happens a bazillion times a day.

One of my favorite movies, yes! And I absolutely believe that a clerk will do this; if there was ever a loyalty of staff to the retail companies for which they worked, it was probably misplaced then, and is definitely misplaced now. But that's a matter of human discretion that overseers haven't yet been able to engineer out, whereas here we're talking about something that would have specifically to engineer in. The unwillingness of Amazon even to try to confront the massive review-gaming and counterfeit-items problem leads me to believe that, to the extent that they ever viewed their mission as getting the customer what they wanted, they don't now—and so will not change their search in a way that would facilitate that.

A couple things...

First, git doesn't especially solve problems that CS majors have until they are near the end of their courses. The need to manage collaboration, organization, and change in a code base is trivial until pretty late in a CS program, and typically never gets past basic.

Second, the context here is the git command-line interface. People can and do use git extensively without it.

Third, git's not exactly perfect. Personally, I'll be a little sad if git remains the de facto standard source control in the long term... it's not bad, but we can do better.

I think lack of knowledge of git commands in a CS grad would be essentially uncorrelated with future professional success.
If you're on Android, it's quite simple really. You have to uninstall the app completely from the phone (any other accounts or work profiles or anything will interfere) or use an app cloner that can change the metadata. Anyway, you get the apk from the Internet and hope it's trustworthy then install and disable updates in the play store. I've done this countless times. Only downside is losing any data not able to be exported/imported/clouded.

I remember in 2nd grade I was sent to the principals office and was then, for whatever reason left alone. to sit there for about 2 or 3 hours. I quickly got bored and discovered a box of American history books under the chair I was told to sit in.

The books were completely uncensored early American history, I am still not sure what the heck they were doing in an elementary school. When I say uncensored, it was raw brutal rape and pillage history.

At the time I read around a high school level, about a year later I'd be tested at college level.

I spent the next 2 or 3 hours engrossed in a text about the founding of America. It was one of those foundational experiences for me, and it was only possible because of I was reading far above my grade level.
