Yeah, that doesn't sound legit. Any general sentiment from that time period is lost, and the best your scholar can do is project the lens of the present onto sources from the past. To be fair, all histories are done that way.

You may be limited for your thesis. My grad program required us to conform to either a Word or LaTeX template, of which I found the latter actually much easier to deal with. I just kept my chapters in separate files that are inputted into the template.

If you're asking for other assignments, I'd actually recommend Quarto [1]. It's basically a streamlined version of your current workflow. The other benefit is that it can convert your markdown to Typst if you decide to switch over in the future.

CIA-backed groups in Miami were bombing Cuban hotels in the 1990s. They were bombing Cuban passenger airlines, killing many civilians. They were burning sugar fields. Of course there was also the Bay of Pigs invasion, the theft of Guantanamo harbor etc.
Also quite practical, as Mt. Rainier, for example, is expected to blow its top in the geological immediate future (highest res possible is 5k years per pixel, so to speak).

I don't think all that many people realize how techtonically active the PacNW/VeryBroaderSeattleArea is: there are volcanoes everywhere, and we had one essentially light off a nuke within itself just a handful of decades ago.

As an old geology professor of mine used to say: "Mankind exists by geologic consent only."

It seems like a good way to describe a common language around interval operations. I'd be interested in data structures that were specialized for some of these operations.
How sure are we, that this was not a cyberattack?

It seems really scary to me, that crowdstrike is able to push updates in real time to most of their customers systems. I don't know of any other system, that would provide a similar method to inject code at kernel level. Not even windows updates, as they always roll out with some delay and not to all computers at the same time

If you want to attack high profile systems, crowdstrike would be one of the best possible targets.

Crazy that the communication system doesn't seem to be that much more advanced than tin cans and a string when compared to modern day. Guess the same can be said for the weapons themselves.
I owe you a huge thanks! As a music + open source nerd, XWax was magic for my teenage turntablist brain. That era with Ms. Pinkys (https://mspinky.com/vinyl/) was just such a special time. <3
One of the most dangerous versions of this IMO is someone who compromises a NPM/Pypi package that's widely used as a dependency. If you can make it so that the original developer doesn't know you've compromised their accounts (spear-phished SIM swap + email compromise while the target is traveling, for instance, or simply compromising the developer themselves), you don't need every downstream user to manually update - you just need enough projects that aren't properly configured with lockfiles, and you've got code execution on a huge number of servers.

I'm hopeful that the fallout from Crowdstrike will be a larger emphasis on software BOM risk - when your systems regularly phone home for updates, you're at the mercy of the weakest link in that chain, and that applies to CI/CD and end user devices alike.
If bad spam detection was such a big issue for a social platform, YouTube wouldn't be used by anyone ;). In fact it's even worse on YouTube, it's the same pattern of accounts with weird profile pictures copy pasting an existing comment as is and posting it, for thousands of videos, and it's been going on for a year now. It's actually so basic that I really wonder if there's some other secret sauce to those bots to make them undetectable.
Yes, there's clearly more to it than just latitude. There are mangroves far south of 30° south in New Zealand and Australia.
Luckily you don’t have to make them all at once.
The update files are almost certainly signed.

Even if the HTTPS channel is compromised with a man-in-the-middle attack, the attacker shouldn't be able to craft a valid update, unless they also compromised CrowdStrke's keys.

However, the fact that this update apparently managed to bypass any internal testing or staging release channels makes me question how good CrowdStrike's procedures are about securing those update keys.
Relatedly, it's crazy to me how many people still read the news!
Everywhere in Europe that welcomed Jews, their neighbors attacked them whenever the Plague came around, blaming them for poisoning wells. To be blunt, if that hadn't happened, the Jews would have probably disappeared into the general European population by the 15th Century. So you are supporting the point that village rumors led to a situation of permanent exclusion for Gypsies.

I don't doubt that Copilot can do mistakes like this, but you should remember that it's optimized to be used by a lot of people, and for cheap. Models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet are vastly better than Copilot.

No this is kernelspace, an so while all addresses are 'virtual' an unmapped address is an address that hasn't been mapped in the page tables. Normally critical kernel drivers and data are marked as non-pagable (note: The Linux Kernel doesn't page, NTKernel does a legacy of when it was first written and memory constraints of the time). So if a driver needs to access pagable data it must not be part of the storage flow (and Crowdstrike is almost certainly part of it), and at the correct IRQL (the Interrupt priority level, anything above dispatch, AKA the scheduler, has severe restraints on what can happen there).

So no an unmapped address is a completely different BSOD, usually PAGE_FAULT_IN_UNPAGED_AREA which is a very bad sign
If you can see it clearly with the naked eye, it's probably not a Starlink.

Did you use astronomy software to identify them, or did you assume the satellite trails must be Starlinks? I remember seeing plenty of satellites visible in the night sky even before the first Starlink launch.
>Why isn't there a text book that explains math content as simply as Stat Quest?

Because you can't explain a complex concept simply and completely at the same time.
that's assuming they don't do cert pinning. Moreover despite all the evil things you can supposedly do with a $5 wrench, I'm not aware of any documented cases of this sort of attack happening. The closest we've seen are misissuances seemingly caused by buggy code.
One of the things to keep in mind is that Twitter had most of these misfeatures before Musk bought it.

The basic problem is, no moderation results in a deluge of spam and algorithmic moderation is hot garbage that can only filter out the bulk of the spam by also filtering out like half of the legitimate comments. Human moderation is prohibitively expensive unless you want to hire Mechanical Turk-level moderators and not give them enough time to do a good job, in which case you're back to hot garbage.

Nobody really knows how to solve it outside of the knob everybody knows about that can improve the false negative rate at the expense of the false positive rate or vice versa. Do you want less ham or more spam?
> These aren't Markdowns converted to PDFs

Would you like to see the source Markdown documents? My workflow is:

Markdown -> XML (XHTML) -> TeX -> PDF

If that isn't converting Markdown into PDF, what would you call it?

> Does anyone really want that?

At time of writing KeenWrite has had over 4,000 downloads. So, maybe? However, my point wasn't whether people want it (besides me). My point was that it is technically possible to keep a Markdown document's content separated from its final presentation form (e.g., PDF).

> This looks like you really want to have a web framework, not a document creation system.

Not really: I want to write in Markdown (or R Markdown) using interpolated variables and generate PDF documents. I have spent about 9 years working on a cross-platform desktop text editor that allows me to do so.

That sounds so annoying. Could it possibly be something they source upstream from somewhere else on the internet?

I.e if you search verbatim "Chinatown's 1925 cinematic home to kung fu & opera films is closed but reopens for film festivals.", there are two websites that list your business with that exact description. Either they got it from Google, or Google got it from them. It might be worth claiming it on those sites and changing as well in the off chance it's the latter.

How does it validate the updates, exactly?

Microsoft supposedly has source IP addresses known by their update clients, so that DNS spoofing won't work.
I also realized that a lot of specialized areas in Engineering are just preoccupied with a few specific concepts —- most are not incredible wizards.

I was weak in matrix/linear algebra. All the graduate students seemed obsessed with matrix decomposition, eigenvalues, and Hermetian forms.

After taking an optimization course (heavily matrix based) I realized they were just using the same small bag of tricks for everything.
Memory footprint and runtime don't count. Total time spent programming does count.
That is just not true. My grand parents migrated from Spain to France and my family perfectly assimilated. I never once in my life felt like anyone of us was not accepted as French.

Now I decided to myself live in Japan and I hear the very same speech as yours again and again about my host country. Yet my experience is very positive, I have integrated well and made my life here, and I never felt like I wasn't accepted.

But of course it took a lot of work to get there. Learning a new language, getting familiar with the local culture and embracing it is far from easy. The problem I see with some foreigners here is that they simply don't do this work and keep living in their own (often unhappy) bubble. Or even refuse to embrace some local customs because they are convinced that their own culture's way of doing things is superior to that.
My personal blog/website (and a lot of my other small websites) are hosted on Github. Jekyll, the OG of SSG, manages them. Github also has a built-in editor that you can write directly in the browser. If you are starting from scratch, it should be pretty straight forward and easy.

> somebody who can't even critically read and understand the sources I've provided

I read the article you cited and just reread it. It was about the primaries. The only mention of the general election is referring to Congressional candidates, which was implemented by referendum.

I'm now doing my own research into additional sources and seeing that what you're saying is correct, but you sent me a source that said nothing of the sort. I suspect I read that source more carefully than you did, so it's a bit rich for you to berate me for not reading it critically enough.

Regardless, I'm not sold on the idea that this is something the Democratic party picked up on their own. Maine's ballot initiative came first and they had to overcome opposition from the legislature to get it through. Now that the people of Maine have spoken quite forcefully the Democrats are going along with it, but they didn't start this process on their own.

If it were a Democratic party thing, why are we not seeing this anywhere else?
Thank you! Absolutely, the problem I'm solving is closer to the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) but it's also closely related to job shop scheduling.

I've mostly focused on reducing the search space so far, but I've always wondered if there's a way to significantly accelerate range queries. My B-tree map implementation is already very fast in practice, but intuitively it seems like a data structure should be able to advantage of the fact that intervals are disjoint to greatly improve performance. For example, inversion lists take advantage of disjointedness to reduce storage cost - I'd like to do the same but for performance. Many range queries also have a minimum duration requirement, so it could be useful if a data structure could take advantage of this to quickly exclude intervals during the search.

Right, you could put a combustible-gas-safe mass flow sensor on every gas line, high and low pressure, at a cost of roughly 100x current rotary and aperture flow meters, but then metering would become by far the largest cost in gas production.

>Would you like to see the source Markdown documents?

I am pretty sure I know what they look like from the end result.

My point was that almost all of the design effort wasn't contained in the markdown. So clearly there were at least two major inputs to the documents. But of course you agree with that.

>Not particularly; I want to write in Markdown (or R Markdown) using interpolated variables and generate PDF documents.

To me the total separation only makes sense if you are designing for unknown content. If you control the input of content and formatting, then a closer linkage between both seems superior. Markdown is (intentionally) extremely limited, so everything that markdown can't do needs to be implemented in a general way on the formatting layer. Obviously that is more tedious if you have total separation.

What I meant by "web framework" is that they can't assume content, so need to deal with generality. Essentially what you are writing is a website generator, except with PDF being the end output. But generating general and reusable components doesn't seem to be how I would want to create a document.
Congestion is mainly anywhere near the big axes, which is exactly the problem. Even if the place is "only" three blocks away, that's three stinking red lights in each direction. Meanwhile you may not have any strong preference between two similar burger joints, so if one is directly on the main road and the other isn't, where are you stopping?
Hm. I don't know exactly anymore. I 'mastered' that from vinyl, about 8 minutes long, onto a chrome-something cassette, 30 minutes per side. And the walkman had something like 'autochange', so it could play the other side without you having to turn the cassette. That lasted for up to 4 hours at full blast, I think.

During those 4 hours, that blasted me up to 75kph on flat grounds without headwinds for maybe two minutes, otherwise sustained performance anything between 55kph to 65kph for one hour, depending on fitness, weather, traffic, whatever.

Interestingly the cadence of my pedaling in highest gear never matched, except for the few very percussive sequences, maybe.

Maybe I just liked the thought of riding like HIM >:>

I know this sounds unlikely, but I unknowingly did so called 'interval training', as I later found out. That's how I got that fast.

For a paper submitted on July 11, 2024, and with several references to other 2024 publications, it is indeed strange that it gives ChatGPT output from April 2023 to demonstrate that “LLMs lose the thread of a conversation with inhuman ease, as outputs are generated in response to prompts rather than a consistent, shared dialogue” (Figure 1). I have had many consistent, shared dialogues with recent versions of ChatGPT and Claude without any loss of conversation thread even after many back-and-forths.

Public utilities can also face perverse incentives, and be run poorly.

Commercial enterprises at least can face some competition! But with infrastructure like last-mile gas pipelines, it's tricky, and the companies end up being local monopolies. Hence the trouble: a monopoly has very different incentives than a company actually competing on the market.

Irish people such as my ancestors fought and died for America in WWII. They were among the finest patriots who served the country.
The US has extended the protection of the law to the law-abiding Irish, Italians, Germans, Russians, Jews, East Asians, Indians, and Latinos freeing them up to flourish and build human capital. By contrast, the same state has not only failed to do so for the Black community, but its agents have engaged in extrajudicial killings of the community's members with impunity since they lost their legal "protection" as someone else's private property.

Community under assault will redirect its private efforts to security which then undermines cultural and economic development and slows down formation of human capital. That's because security needs are fundamental and trump cultural and economic development [1].

Regarding Indian Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims, I disagree they are indistinguishable for outsiders. Typically, anybody who cares can tell by the name, place where they live, or even just the job they do.

Besides what others said, walkmen were the origin of the term mixtape, where you basially had to play music real time from a cassette, and record it on another cassette. Recording radio was pretty common.

There was debates about quality (that lasted even into the CD era) about music quality. Generally, vinyl was considered better in almost all forms, I don't remember hearing much about audiophiles using casettes.

Imo CD era with digital music more prominent when they came out (first in box form, then in mobile walkman form), because you could get high quality audio on them. This pretty much transformed the DJ world as CDJs started replacing vinyl decks, which aligned with the rise of electronic music since you could do stuff with digital audio that you couldn't do with analog (set cue points, auto beat match, and trigger without having to manually spin the decks)

I've done .doc -> .md -> .tex -> .pdf via pandoc (e.g. to convert a confluence document to a nicely typeset PDF), so I'm not sure there's much difference.

Naturally, a format with more metadata loses metadata when converted to one with less (and the reverse, you may need to add metadata in when going up the chain), but unless your document is bound to a specific format (in which case, I'd pick RST for HTML and LaTeX for pdf), markdown gives you the content and pandoc lets you specify a template (and with pandoc, you can take the markdown and generate slides in HTML, PDF and create notes through the different outputs).
