When I see out of band management at remote locations (usually for a dedicated doctors network run by the health authority that gets deployed at offices and clinics) it's generally analog phone line -> modem -> console port. Dialup is more than enough if all you need to do is reset a router config.

Not 100% out of band for a telco though, unless they made sure to use a competitors lines.

I noticed something similar on a project I was on. I was given the task to supervise external contractors but given no authority to tell them how to do things. I basically had to convince them with arguments. Well predictably it's pretty hard to convince somebody that they are wrong but it's nearly impossible if it will also cut the project time in half which means it will cut the money for them in half. So naturally there was quickly a quarrel because they wanted to keep doing things badly and it was my assigned job to prevent exactly that. I was eventually overruled by my own management though because I can't compete with several external project managers whose entire job it is to talk their way into more money. They were willing to outright lie and there was no incentive to believe me vs. believing the supposed expert contractors.

The most prevalent use of GMOs in agriculture by far is resistance to roundup herbicide, enabling free use to knock out other weeds. Other GMOs are rarely viable on the wider market, likely because natural mutation and selection are just more efficient for improving varieties.

> what is actually bad about improving food?

With that said, I'd suggest you reconsider your opposite premise that GMOs invariably improve food.

I agree your mentioned echo chambers are unhelpful, just try to avoid feeding into it with equally uninformed opinions.
Korea stopped dominating because Starcraft dropped in popularity inside Korea relative to newer games. Then the world's much larger population size produced a few players who could outcompete them.
It is fundamentally true, though, because you "level up" those skills through concentrated effort, which requires focus and time, both of which are finite resources. It may feel you can improve on all without sacrificing something, but that just means you're operating far from Pareto frontier - i.e. you're not particularly good at anything.
Imagine thinking you're teaching a pathologist anything about evaluating neoplastic cells.... Like even as a doctor who's not a pathologist I wouldn't dare because I know just how much I don't know compared to them. A CS grad thinking they can jump in on that is peak tech-centric hubris.

The main thing is that you can't really know the long-term effects of changing the biodiversity on the planet. It's fairly common that extensive plant breading is producing plants that are less healthy, more prone to diseases. That's why "pesticides" is an argument, but it's not the main argument. What happens when these tomato genes spread too heavily and you will not even be able to produce tomatoes with just soil, water and sun? What if they spread to other plants? (Plants to cross-pollinate).
Part of truth is socially mediated. No picture is the "truth" as you say, all cameras edit the photo. What matters is what the photo means and that's always a social question. Crypto governance and consensus is one way we are exploring how to represent truth in the internet.
This lecture[0] by Robert Austin, a physicist who has done extensive work in biomedical including cancer-related research, proposes a fundamentally different theory for how cancer develops and progresses. Namely, the mutational theory of cancer is wrong, and also the now conventional treatments we have for treating cancer patients, that is chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are often worse than the disease (both modalities promote metastasis of cancer as they evolve and migrate away from the source of the toxic stressors). Highly recommended to anyone who has an interest in the subject.

Starcraft shipped with a "spawn installation" feature that let you do this specifically to support LAN play

If you didn't intend to play on Battle.Net or play the single player campaigns, you never needed more than the Spawn installation

I would seriously question if these were actually pirates copies at all ...
I strongly recommend reading Pat Wyatt's blog [1] for some insights about an early Starcraft development from more technical point of view.

If that was going to make the difference, why is ChatGPT way more popular today than Gemini? Why isn't Google already ahead of their competitors? Google ahead? I'll believe it when I see it.

Some people want to work exclusively with classic 8-bit-color-depth SRGB. And other people need the HDR and color space stuff.

Combining both use cases into one format makes the API more complicated. There are some footguns in the compression API for people trying to do the most basic task (SRGB to YCbCr Lossy VarDCT), where if you specify the wrong value in a struct somewhere (I think it was the "Use Original Profile" flag), you get poor quality compression, as it stores the image as RGB rather than going to YCbCr first. Yes, I know I used the API incorrectly.

WEBP had a much simpler API. You just call a few functions to get the dimensions of the image, then you allocate a 24-bit or 32-bit buffer (either RGB or BGR byte order) to load the image into.
> The problem is that profitable enterprises would democratically decide not to hire any more people since doing so would dilute their profits.

which is fine, because if hiring someone would dilute their profits, it means the new hire is decreasing the efficiency of the organization. Normally, you would hire if you find that the existing employees cannot complete all of the work required, as there's too much - aka, leaving business/profits on the table due to lack of room.
First of all, thank you for the feedback. I will definitely take this into consideration. Self-hosting is currently in my plan.

It’s trivial when you have the resources that come from being one of Canada’s 3 telecom oligopoly members.

Unfortunately the CRTC is run by former execs/management of Bell, Telus, and Rogers, and our anti-competition bureau doesn’t seem to understand their purpose when they consistently allow these 3 to buy up and any all small competitors that gain even a regional market share.

Meanwhile their service is mediocre and overpriced, which they’ll chalk up to geographical challenges of operating in Canada while all offering the exact same plans at the exact same prices, buying sports teams, and paying a reliable dividend.
I'm just one data point, but I haven't personally seen any of those ads in macOS but I don't use Apple News. Also I see all of these links are reports from 3 - 8 years ago so perhaps some of them don't occur any more?

Regardless, it's rather rude to call people names here when we're just having a discussion. Your tone is offensive.
Especially meat is particularly expensive in Switzerland, however, compare to most of Europe. The marketing somehow managed to cement this a meaning higher quality, and the population largely accepts the higher price.
The "theorem/proofs" are worked examples in this context since that is what mathematicians do all day. The ubiquitous "existence proof" is just about showing an object satisfying a property exists without actually giving an example.

Higher math is a big exercise in shifting symbols around. If you don't have an intrinsic motivation to solve puzzles you will hate higher math.
> you don’t want your job automated unless you stay on the payroll, which by definition can’t be everyone.

I have never in my life had a job where the reaction to employees being more productive was to have fewer employees rather than increasing output. Everyone absolutely can stay on payroll, we just get more stuff done on the same headcount and budget, and the company turns more profit for it.

> When this happens, leadership should back these initiatives.

this requires trust in the "low-level" people. It also implies that the "low-level" people have sufficient power at their call to execute those initiatives, without directly involving the leadership.

This works if leadership is not under threat from the low-level people (e.g., in a democracy, where your survival is not contingent on kinship with the military's cooperation).

> He trusted his subordinates and won.

So this is why i suspect this does not work in most modern organizations : the leadership does not (or cannot) trust their subordinates to make the correct choices. In other words, the leadership doesn't want to cop the cost of a wrong decision in the hands of the "low-level" people, and insist on seeing evidence/plan/etc (which basically means they're not really deligating the decision down, but pushing the decisions up!).
Human ingenuity combined with greed, a sense of all encompassing mission, a god given directive to expand and conquer. Why did the Mongols do what they did?

I do want to point out that the modern world is quite different. Extractive institutions tend to fail and network effects may create a new form of economic transparency. I don't believe humanity has to continue our old ways in the future. Although the space race might restart the conquest cycle.
You’re not told ahead of time what the metrics will be, so you can’t cheat and/or plan ahead other than by being generally good at your job across all likely metrics.
> Life changing arrests?

Rentals and jobs require criminal background checks. Being denied work and a place to live is a fairly solid example of having your life changed.

This is a thing that is trivially understood and typically doesn't need pointing out.

It one of the stronger examples of how the world is ever changing in ways that make meaningful redemption more+more impossible.

The modern condition is that single transgressions are subject to ceaseless punishment thru sharply degraded lives.
Wow, that's amazing. We have achieved AGI already. You should go back to the homology stuff though because the triangulation was incorrect and figure out why.
Not sure about the many cures that have been buried. But chemotherapy & radiotherapy, both of which do more harm than good, are two huge money makers indeed.
Thank you very much. I put great effort into making this product user-friendly.
Just because people use it one way, does not mean it is not useful in other ways.

Please, inform my opinion. I am always open to new data, as we all should be.
Wow, incredible. No one needs to learn math anymore, AI can do it for us now.
From what I've seen this is usually caused by CI pipelines being overly cautious, starting from a pristine state and trying to cover every possible edge case.

Spin up new node, congrats, now you have to clone the whole repo from scratch. Oh, "npm install" was not cached, let's download half of the internet again, pull ":latest" of some multi-GB docker images while you are at it. For good measure, "make clean", because...you never know and nobody bothered to architect our build system to use a more sane tool than Makefiles, btw remember to only use make -j3, because rumor has it that the build fails intermittently when using more cores! Finally, run every test that couldn't possibly be affected by the commit in question, preferably the big e2e-suite. As someone else mentioned above, all of this running on some dog-slow cloud network attached disk.

There you have it. Spinning up more compute is not the solution, it's the cause. Keep one machine on and improve on your build tooling. I guarantee it will be magnitudes faster than any ephemeral pipeline.
The Hadza study has some interesting implications, but a lot of the reporting on it has massively blown it out of proportion. They walk 4-7 miles per day while burning a total of an average of 2500 calories. That's fewer calories than expected, but not actually by all that much. Two hours of walking per day sounds like a lot compared to an office worker who does not engage in any sort of physical activity, but it's quite small compared to what people who work physically demanding jobs or do any meaningful amount of cardio training get.
It is incredible that you could run such game on a 486 and play online using a 28.8 Kbps modem. StarCraft II requires far more resources and bandwidth to play while not being necessarily more fun in a directly proportional manner.

> The main thing is that you can't really know the long-term effects of changing the biodiversity on the planet.

Has the planet itself not been doing this for quite a long time already? I think your question would be better framed as not “changing” but “accelerating” and I think that is indeed a valid question. I’m just not sure I agree it will end with non viable crops.
How do you know it's correct? The only simplicial traingulation I know of is by splitting up the sphere into an icosahedron and then identifying all the opposite faces to get the proper antipodal action for the quotient.
Uh huh. Populations of conscriptable soldiers or percent of the population killed totally didn’t matter? Those are part of the economic equation.

The war in the pacific was started by, and almost entirely dominated by, economic matters. Japan attacked the US because of US embargoes on fuel, for instance.

And the creation of the atom bomb (which ended it) was only possible due to the insane logistical feats of the US - and its excess economic capacity and resources. Which is why Germany failed, and the USSR only got one after getting the ‘ingredients list’ post war - once the wartime resources had been freed up.

War is hell, so don’t start them. But also, don’t think modern war isn’t won (or lost) based on logistics and economic factors. Which intelligence can help with.

Can you give specific examples of how the mechanics have been dumbed down?
The models operate by the logic of boolean arithmetic so in that sense they can not be inconsistent. But in any case, it's pretty obvious no one in this thread understands what I'm getting at but maybe eventually there will be an AGI smart enough to get the point.
Have you ever read the book "Loonshots"
There's an entire chapter about how primitive human societies probably maxed out at about 150 individuals. Companies that exceed this headcount basically need to change themselves into highly hierarchical organizations, and many companies die in this transition.
The point of debates it not to convince your interlocutor. Not a single debate in history has ended in the other side changing their position.

The point is to convince the audience, and if you think no audience would consider the notion of a flat Earth possible, you underestimate human stupidity.

Everything should be up for debate, otherwise ideas become -- as John Stuart Mill called them: dead dogma.
No there's not. But I will consider it.
Let me just copy/paste what I commented the last time this article was posted:

> The pain is protective because it’s telling the person to rest and recover and sleep

Try telling that to people who have pain so intense they end up in a cycle of vomiting and sleeping for a period of 72 hours.

> the brain experiences a blackout called a cortical spreading depression (CSD), when neuronal activity shuts down for a short time

Blackout does not sound like a good description. CSD travels across the cortex in a "wave", where the part currently affected by the wave is depolarized. Nothing is shutting down.

There are a lot of people who get migraine headaches without aura, and there are a lot of people who get migraine auras without headaches. The article doesn't seem to take that into account at all, and I can't seem to find a link to the research? The DOI link just points at the same short article?

Edit: I don't mean to sound like a debbie downer. I'm happy with any and all migraine research, and this seems to look at things from a different perspective, which might lead to new discoveries.
It is amazing, isn't it‽

The novel part of that paper was not merging the responses. The last model can, from the inputs, synthesize higher quality overall responses than any of the individual models.

It’s a bit surprising that works and your take on it is overly reductive largely because you’re wrong in your understanding of what it was doing.
We get pretty arrogant for sure, but from an outsider point of view at least this looks more like somebody pitching a perpetual motion machine to physicists, rather than typical tech-centric hubris.
I'm pretty sure it's all arithmetic for an LLM but you do you too.
I think you ought to meet some people in such a movement, the one in Rojava for example, and read about irregular, guerilla, warfare.

> There are definitely more parks geared towards kids in suburbia today vs. 30-40 years ago.

And more houses built too far to be within casual walking distance from them.

There's also the thing where one reachable park is a poor replacement for the ~360° of direction I (all of us) could set out in, reaching hundreds of possible destinations. Most of that travel had low risk of adult interference. Most of those options were available to us kids, beginning at a young age.

All of that was unavailable to my kids and their generation.
For Kivy to stop being a niche UI framework with marginal adoption it must somehow tap into the central role of Python in the broader data science / machine learning universe.

Building data-centric cross-platform apps while staying (mostly [1]) within a single language ecosystem should be less friction and overhead than juggling multiple universes via API's, different runtimes and what not.

What kind of apps would benefit from this "single language" approach? For sure not the more open ended, exploratory data science type tasks. These are better delivered via notebook workflows, which, besides flexibility, enable better reproducibility and auditing. Also probably nothing that requires high performance interactive graphics.

But while not solving all UI problems for all people, there should be still plenty of relevant use cases where simplicity and fast prototyping give Kivy an edge when the task is to make algorithms and related tools available to non-technical users.

[1] ofcourse the actual number crunching might be done by yet another layer (typically C/C++) but that layer is essentially hidden from the data orchestation and UI integration that would be the Kivy app focus.
My previous org OOB used a data only SIM card from a different service provider. Curious why that wouldn't be a good solution?

I've been digging over your website; super interested and just applied.
I'm a big supporter of JPEG-XL. It has something very unique that has not been seen in an image file format before: An option for Lossy compression that isn't DCT-based. So you can't get ringing or blocking, because there are is no DCT at all. The actual artifacts you do get are not at all like what you get with JPEG. Instead, you are likely to see things like slight pixellation or banding when your quality level is too low.

In order to get the non-DCT lossy compression, you need to request "Modular Mode" in the program that compresses the image. But for some reason I don't know, Irfanview is literally hiding that checkbox from you, and you can enable the feature by editing the dialog resource and making the checkbox no longer hidden.

---

Meanwhile, I still prefer WEBP for lossless compression, because the decompression code is so fast. In terms of who has the best lossless compression, WEBP and JXL easily beat AVIF, and JXL usually beats WEBP, but not always. In one case, I saw a grayscale BMP file getting better compression with FLAC (!) than JXL.

WEBP's lossy format is just not that good, AVIF and JXL beat the hell out of it, sometimes the JPEG even looks better. But WEBP's lossless format is excellent.

Closing a PFO is the only procedure I know of that can cure migraine. Sadly it seems like not everyone's migraines are caused by a PFO.
I disagree, Out of Band Network Management (OOBM) is extremely trivial to implement. Most companies however don't see the value of OOBM until they have a major fault. The setup costs can be high, and the ongoing operational costs of OOBM infrastructure and links is also significant.
I've built dozens of OOBM networks using fibre and 4G with the likes of Opengear. In instances, often deploying OOBM ahead of infrastructure rollouts so hardware can be delivered to site directly from factory, rather than go through a staging environment which adds time, cost and complexity.
This might be a bit of an isolated example. Numerous battles against the Mongols and Turks in the middle ages start with a haphazard charge, followed by the cavalry getting out of position and completely crushed.

Seems like the success in this specific instance relied on trust between Richard and Baldwin that the latter wasn't leading the Crusaders into a classic Turkic trap.
You should let it plan your day. It's obviously much smarter than you.
