Honestly I'm a bit confused, the descriptions seem contradictory or require an extraordinary level of fine tuning.

If you just insert a capsule of radioactive material, it's easy to make it (extremely) poisonous, easily detectable and harmless to the rhino. But I don't see a way to do all three at once.

If you just wanted to kill the consumers a small amount of an alpha emitter would work quite well, but would be hard to detect and carry a small amount of risk to the rhino if it breaks confinement.

Conversely you could use a strong gamma emitter to make it easily detectable but I don't see a way to do so that would harm the consumers but not the rhino. Best you can do is some level or radioactivity that we're fine with in animals but not in humans because we're hypocrites.
Because it doesn't necessarily result in a safer population. This is software engineering par for the course. Just because you want some software to have some feature doesn't mean that the other requirements and/or reality will cooperate and give you a desirable outcome.

For example, coral snake antivenom. For quite a while the US only had a single coral snake antivenom on the market because it was made by a company that was grandfathered in. The new(ish) FDA rules made developing a new coral snake antivenom not something anyone wanted to do.

So of course the one existing vendor when out of business.

Last I heard (around 2022) people were trying to come up with a new antivenom but thus far have been unsuccessful.

Prescribing that things be safer doesn't force reality to conform and we have examples of this occurring.
My 12 year old daughter is a decent writer, she recently checked an AI-marketed essay detection website and her writing got an 80% chance of AI risk assessment. She wasn’t sure what to make of that…

She is kind of demotivated about the technology when it comes to grading though, because the students who brag about using it to get good scores kind of make her feel like a sucker for trying. I try to tell her to ignore the cheaters, but we recognize sometimes they win materially in real life.

In class essays may have to be the future again. (Reminds me of the navy training how to use star navigation recently).

Unlike politicians, the military + contractors take their responsibilities re. controlled information relatively seriously. The normal practice is to not have anything that is clearance-controlled sitting out anyway (it's usually stored behind extra levels of security scaled to the secrecy), and to control access to that information on a fairly granular level. Visitors to those facilities (of a variety of clearance backgrounds) are regular, so anything beyond ITAR (which you, as the child of an ITAR-accessible employee, and thus likely a US citizen/green card holder would have had access to) is going to be locked up by default.
I feel for you, when I worked at IBM I was surprised they did not have a "known" central authority for creating/maintaining certs. We tried to find if one existed, but no luck.

In the Dept I was in, it was expected the downstream system people would create the certs, and of course I would say 85% of them did not even know what a cert is. When renewal time came, we got blank stares when we mentioned the private cert. Or the person who created the cert left and never trained their replacement. Crazy situation.

I hope things changed since I left.
I guess it's continuing the trend of patching over hacks with more hacks to try to work around fundamental design errors.

useMemo has the problem of having to specify dependencies manually and making fine grained updates difficult. Letting go of the unworkable pretension of effect-free components would solve these self-inflicted wounds, like is done in e.g. SolidJS.
Not to mention, the word "christian" was originally meant as an insult. So offensive.
While the case was decided on seventh amendment grounds in the seventh amendment can be waived I don’t think the government can get around the separation of powers issues that are also in the background.

You would need to fit the underlying conduct into something that can be called a public right. Maybe the government could require such waiver for use of a government run exchange.
My understanding is that for regular theft, there are different classes of charges depending on the amount stolen. Perhaps we could apply a similar approach at the top end? E.g. laws that only kick in when there has been more than a billion in damages or thousands of deaths?
Actually Democrats have a long history of doing things like that and then losing.

Look how they abandoned single payer and a public option during the Obamacare period. Then they lost the Congress immediately after.

Democrats do centrist or rightward pivots seemingly blind to the fact that Republicans will not vote for them anyway and that these actions will alienate the base. If they drew stronger contrasts and gave people a reason to vote for them, I think they would do better electorally. Sometimes it feels like they live in a fantasy world where it's still the pre Gingrich era and bipartisanship is much more of a thing.
The store brand(s) of a given grocery store is typically made by Bimbo.

"Almost all baked goods" is a stretch, but easily 50% of your bread aisle space is Bimbo. Flowers (Wonder, Nature's Own, etc.) is maybe 25% after that.
MTA operates at a ~$600B loss. How is the city using it as a sponge to pay for other things?

But the city is not using MTA revenue to pay for other things.
I wonder how much of this is just a feedback loop; were people taught both tools and then chose the one that works best, or was one more heavily promoted than the other, so people went with what was easiest to get started?
From the article:

> Because it can be difficult and expensive to keep sesame in one part of a baking plant out of another, some companies began adding small amounts of sesame to products that didn't previously contain the ingredient to avoid liability and cost.

So yes, to avoid having to prevent cross-contamination, they started intentionally introducing trace amounts of allergens.

I have been pretty adamant about the privacy issues and stealing of content issues with AI... but this particular case seems, honestly I am on the side of perplexity here. Mostly...

Once we get to the point of this AI running locally, or you just have a browser extension that grabs the data and sends it to the server, what is the difference between what it is doing now and that.

If I use an AI and I give it a specific URL I think the expectation is that it is acting like a user and not like a crawler so the robots.txt is meaningless.

That doesn't mean that perplexity is free of any blame here, if they are getting around paywalls or then using this loophole to gather up the data to train later. That isnt ok. I am also concerned about the reports of them using third party crawlers to get around blocking them.

But, purely on what this seems to be focused on and the example given. I don't see anything wrong with it when it is triggered based on a specific action of the user. And should be the expected behavior IMO.

Headline grabbing articles like this I feel like undermine the valid criticism of AI because it can be used to paint a picture of a vendetta against AI or worse as an example of why these arguments are wrong as a way to discredit large swaths of criticism.

We really need to be more mindefull about how we criticize the real problems with the technology.
You're right, and I think it's wrong to do it this way.

We have various private companies taking copies of our ID; in the UK, you'll have scans of your passport/driving licence taken for various reasons.

We shouldn't have to trust them to get it right; and I suppose the threat for them is fines if they don't, but it's not good enough.

Probably, a more solid solution would be to offer a government ID service where these companies check against a central database that already holds your information and then they have to keep nothing.

If I hire a car, I provide the rental agency a code that gives them temporary access to my driving record to ensure it meets their requirements, it's a one-time code and I request it when required and provide it to them; something similar could be adopted for other purposes if they have a legal requirement to verify your identity.
I haven't used React in about 6 years - used to be pretty heavily involved with it across web and native. These days I truly feel like ecosystem has lost its mind and the developers are just bikeshedding the most esoteric and unhinged choices possible.

Matt Levine is a treasure. He is tied only with Derek Lowe for being a fantastic writer who makes complex topics understandable, interesting, and enjoyable.
One can choose to classify the chemical elements with whatever words one pleases.

Nevertheless, some classifications are much more useful than others.

A classification that no longer uses the traditional distinction between metals and semi-metals is much less useful than a classification that distinguishes these 2 categories. Neglecting this distinction demonstrates a lack of understanding about which are the properties that determine the usefulness for practical applications of the chemical substances and a lack of understanding of how such properties vary with the atomic number.

Moreover, after one chooses some classification rules, those must be followed consistently. For example, anyone who chooses to call bismuth as a "metal" must also call carbon as a "metal", because the most stable state of carbon in normal conditions, i.e. graphite, has exactly as much reasons to be named as a "metal" or as a "post-transition metal" as bismuth has. There are a very large number of chemical compounds that are semi-metals, but among the pure elements carbon, antimony and bismuth are semi-metals (while boron, silicon, germanium, selenium and tellurium are semiconductors).

The reality is that too many authors of manuals just copy and paste automatically texts from other works without stopping to think whether they are correct and consistent.

This is the kind of criticism that could only come from someone without much formal writing experience.

This is a very normal workflow: You write a full-length text detailing the project you worked on. You then trim it down to a summary which you share with a group of people X. You then trim it down into a different summary which you share with a group of people Y.

When you do this multiple times you unsurprisingly end up with some sentences that make it into multiple summaries because they're that important to the thesis!

(Also, the summaries on Twitter and Reddit aren't anything close to "most of the writeup"—the full text is 6000+ words!)
Another thing to mention is that if you find a way to do 8 hours of work in 4, almost no company will just let you take the other 4 for yourself, unless you do so quietly, so you have just created more work for yourself by becoming more productive.

Good question! I think the short answer is because the Supreme Court has interpreted the constitution as having granted that power. It is not an open-and-shut case, however, and stems from the constitution's grant of power for Congress to control the Rule of Naturalization, and from the 14th amendment. A conservative reading of the constitution, however, might imply that Congress does not have the power to bar entry to foreign nationals.

> Article 1, § 8, clause 4, of the United States Constitution specifically grants Congress the power to establish a "uniform Rule of Naturalization."

Speaking as a South African, I hope this can make a difference, every little bit helps.

Unless it can completely stop poaching (which on its own I think is unlikely) I don't think it will solve the fundamental issue that drives poaching, that there is a market willing to pay exorbitant fees.

Ivory has zero physiological medicinal effects, but their rareness convinces certain kinds of (shithead) people that they "must". The rarer the material, the more "special" it becomes, driving up the price further and the higher the price, the more emboldened the poachers become.
Exactly this. Even non-civil servants are required to sign up with one of these services for certain government ID accounts.

I don't recall which it was now, but I had to choose from a bunch of providers (I selected Post Office) when I registered for something Gov related a few years back. I don't remember what now since I haven't used it since, but PO still has the details and provides auth for a government service for me. Insanity.

Notably all of those polls are before it's implemented (by definition, since has not and likely will not be implemented).

But it's not a new concept, and it turns out that people like being able to drive easily, having quieter streets, and tax money for other services. Once you go from fear of the unknown to seeing the results a lot of policies get more popular and in every other example we have that absolutely applies to congestion pricing.

ah, my mistake then. i use a wildcard dns-record but separate letsencrypt-certs for every subdomain. so to truly be stealthy i'd have to use a wildcard dns-record AND a wildcard ssl-cert.

sounds like i got myself a project for this weekend, implement a wildcard cert for my rev-proxy at home :)

EDIT: i guess the logs would still show the old certs, so my subdomains would still be exposed. huh. at least future subdomains would be hidden.

EDIT2: are there more ways for subdomains to get exposed, other than through DNS or SSL-Certs?
That doesn’t change the implications of it.
