85% sure: the claim here was that there are some languages where "you" itself comes in masculine and feminine forms. I'm told this applies to Hebrew and Arabic — אתה and את — but my ability to confirm this is limited to googling wiktionary.

85% is mainly how much I trust the sources: my experience has been kind of factoid is often true, but sometimes turns out to be "this source sounds like it means X, but actually it means Y" or worse "we made it up and you'll never check".

That said, I ought to have written "I can only think of two *good* reasons", because the third reason is "whenever anyone makes a database of people, we automatically add gender without even thinking about it".
If you're using a yubikey solely for its PGP key stuff and you have a backup of the key or have a key hierarchy then replacing a yubikey is pretty trivial.

(I know because it's my specific usecase.)
> - Cryptocurrency hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor

Ledger hardware wallets (which btw can serve as U2F authentication but, AFAIK, not FIDO2) are protected by a PIN: three wrong PINs and the device, unlike a Yubikey, factory resets itself.

IIUC the side-channel attack relies on a non constant-time modinv.

I don't know if there's a way to force that modinv to happen on a Ledger without knowing the PIN. I take it we'll have a writeup by Ledger on that attack very soon.
Humans can measure feelings, computers can't. Therefore I can say if ChatGPT doesn't have enough feeling but it can never do the inverse to me.

That feels simplistic, but we're dealing with fundamentally human concepts. I see absolutely no reason to work under the assumption that computer programs are somehow in the same domain as human thought, which is what a lot of people (you) are saying.

The goal should not be to demonstrate ChatGPT and Humans are different, because to me that is obvious and should be the starting point. Rather we should do the inverse, show that ChatGPT is indistinguishable from a person, as measured by Humans. And then, maybe, we can consider granting this computer program human rights like the right to use copyrightable media in a transformative way.

Ah, but that is really hard to do. So the AI tech bros don't do it, and instead work in the opposite direction.
Studies researching the negative effects of landfills are the necessary first step in making them environmentally friendly. How else would we know what to do?

> They have their own solutions, and activists often force things like recycling at all costs, even though it means shipping it across the world on polluting boats and having some other country dump it in their rivers.

I don't know what that's referring to but where I live, the vast majority of recycling does not leave the province. So I can't really empathize with the example, I'm aware of the trope though. Perhaps this is one of the things that's much different in the US and less so in other places.
Ha ha, it just is what it is. I chose not to strangle her twenty years ago. Things are good.

Yeah, I've more or less aligned with Steven Greenstreet on this - it's a grift by a cult of UFO activists within the Pentagon, diverting funds and attention from legitimate programs and being given legitimacy by gullible people like Chuck Schumer and I assume David Grusch.

And somewhere in the midst of all the bullshit there's probably some interesting stuff happening with drones and exotic propulsion that maybe caught the US military off guard, but I would bet a cubic meter of money that it isn't aliens.
I hear what you’re saying, but really, this is a stupid question and a waste of everyone’s time. Instead you could give a real big report that has insufficient information or that contains a red herring to an improper assumption. The interviewer could then measure if the candidate properly pushed back, exposed an improper assumption and asked relevant clarifying questions. Like one would do at the actual job exhibiting the characteristics the question purports to measure.

The car example is just stupid. Could you image how idiotic you’d sound beginning by asking is it a real car? You’re basically accusing your interlocutor of operating in bad faith (which they were).
Good news then, since the article is discussing the discovery of that exact feature.
Nice work! I saw that the prompt will generate 5 different queries to test, but I'm not sure if metadata is included/needed in this project.

If I search for something like "peregrine falcon habitat" or "hummingbird diet," will it give me the right results?

Genuine question, but why would this make you feel uncomfortable?

Did you think they acted without tact? By the authors own account, they seemed very polite and even sent a follow-up email. The founders account of the interaction made it seem even more polite (asking her if she needed help, offering to hold the baby, offering other areas where she could still hear the talk but not be as much of a distraction etc.)

> Humans are evolutionarily evolved to listen to babies. It makes even quiet noises annoying.

It's funny, once you have kiddos, you learn to be able to tell the type of crying they are doing. Some cries are really for attention that an adult needs to attend to right this second, some are just noise, and then there's everything in between. Once you're around infants enough, you kinda just tune out the less important crying, just like you would a fan or a car engine. But, it is a skill you learn, and can lose.

So, parents of young children, I think, really can't see what the big deal is. They're skilled at tuning out the cries that aren't important.

Do you think this is how it's always been in China or do you think this is a response to how their attitudes towards children have changed?

The US tends to have a very individualistic outlook compared to many other societies, so I think differences should be expected to differ from culture to culture. In the US, it would make me very uncomfortable to have keep my child in a movie theater making noises if I felt like it was inhibiting on someone else's enjoyment of a movie, for instance.

Because humans are human. We are rewarded extra super duper rights that inanimate things, such as a computer program, are not rewarded.

I think we should therefore work to demonstrate this is not the case, which is very hard to do. No idea why we would work under the absolutely insane, never-before-seen assumption that computer programs deserve human rights. I don't know where this line of reasoning started, or why, but at it's core it's so unbelievably preposterous (and against the very wellbeing of mankind).
Interesting! Toastmasters clubs, which are about practising speaking and leadership skills, have a section in the meetings called table topics which is quite similar.

Nothing in particular, sorry. The closest would be the idea of a recursively axiomatizable theory in mathematics, which is one that can be fully evaluated, enumerated, etc. using a finite algorithm. Usually, such a theory is presented as a finite list of axioms and axiom schemata: a theory that is not recursively axiomatizable could not be presented in such a simple way.

Much of this is outdated and wrong. Some of it can not even be done on modern kernels. If nothing else please do not apply the advise given on tcp_rmem defaults. Also do not set large MTU on home internet facing connections as this will break many internet facing connections. Same for tcp fastopen, as this is handled by QUIC and not meant to be set on all tcp connections as the security around this was intended for use in the datacenter. The low fin timeout should only be applied on busy web servers that are not behind load balancers and only if those involved know what they are doing. The limit output bytes is also intended for web servers using http/2.0 and should not be set universally. Window scaling should already be enabled on nearly all kernels in use today. The 16MB initial window size will certainly break connections to some load balancers, middle boxes and some security focused firewalls. There is another setting that should already be on that negates some of this thankfully. Someone will test this and say it works fine from their workstation to some VM or server but the internet is much more diverse than that.

I am not going into details on all of this as it would at best turn into a massive blog. For most people the defaults should suffice and for others that need to improve latency they should learn not only what each setting does but how they play together which also involves learning a great deal about real world implementations of TCP/IP. For those that love to tune things, myself included, tune one thing at a time and give it a month or two to soak whilst you test communication to every possible thing. Don't just use tools like iperf, nuttcp and other benchmarking tools. They will deceive even the smartest people as they do not mimic the real internet. Behaviors change dramatically as latency, network appliances, load characteristics, packet loss, packet reordering and other things get in the way. If going down the path of tweaking things, first get very comfortable with tcpdump and Wireshark.
While I have no intention of ever going back to eating meat, after two years and a half of eating vegan food I have reintroduced in my food an ingredient of animal origin, which is whey protein concentrate.

It is likely that this exception will be temporary, because there already exists the technology of producing whey protein by a culture of a genetically-modified fungus. There are good chances that in at most a decade such protein production by fungal cultures could substitute the whey protein and the egg-white protein of animal origins.

In any case for now I did this step back because with an 100% vegan diet it is extremely difficult to satisfy simultaneously 4 conditions: a high enough daily protein intake, but without a too high energy intake that would cause a weight gain, and without paying more for the vegan food than for a meat-based food, while having a sedentary life style.

If any of these 4 constraints is relaxed, then it becomes easy to eat a vegan diet.

When you are willing to spend much more money for vegan food than for meat-based food, then there are a lot of plant protein extracts that are many times more expensive than chicken meat. When you are doing a hard physical work that requires eating more than 3000 kcal per day, then it is easy to combine proteins from cereals with proteins from legumes, so that you will eat enough proteins per day.

On the other hand, if you must satisfy all 4 constraints, that is difficult. In Europe where I live, there exists only one way to satisfy all 4 constraints, by extracting at home gluten from wheat flour, which requires time and water. The rest of the proteins can be obtained from legumes such as lentils, peas, chickpeas or beans.

Even by dumping most of the starch from wheat flour, after eating enough gluten and legumes you can eat only small quantities of other food without exceeding the admissible amount of calories per day. This makes the daily menus too monotonous.

So after two years and a half, I have begun to use whey protein concentrate (from which I make a cheese substitute by mixing it with vegetable oil and other ingredients in smaller amounts; this has the aspect and taste of melted cheese, but it has a much healthier fat content; where I live whey protein concentrate is a little cheaper than chicken meat). This allows to add proteins to the menu whenever needed, with only a minimal addition of calories, which allows a much greater freedom in the choices of food.

As long as I have been eating strictly vegan food I had to completely avoid any starchy vegetables, e.g. potatoes or bananas or maize or rice, because they would have provided more calories than I could eat without gaining weight.

Now I no longer have any restrictions on what I may eat, based on the energy content, returning to how it was when I was using lean meat as the main source of proteins, when I could eat much more varied vegetables and fruits than when I was eating only vegan food.

I left a 6 year relationship full of tiny disagreements about tiny inconsequential things, that would regularly snowball into whiny accusations (on her side) and feelings of betrayal on both sides. I’ve read some books about this since and I’m pretty sure I’d be able to handle most of it much better, but I’m also sure I wouldn’t want to end up in a similar relationship again. No matter how tiny, disagreements are still disagreements and take energy and time to resolve. I’m willing to invest some (quite a lot actually) into a relationship, but not all of it.

I’ve been with a different girl for five years now, we got married this year and it’s been a breeze so far. We’ve both made some mistakes (like regular everyday stuff) in those five years, but AFAIK we still deeply respect and love each other. The difference is night and day.
The color name question here doesn't have a clear answer because most of the respondents would call this "teal", "blue–green", "turqoise", "cyan", "aqua", or some similar name. You'd get somewhat similar results asking whether an orange (the fruit) is really "red" or "yellow", or whether an eggplant is really "blue" or "red".

An individual person's answers on this kind of question are likely to vary from day to day, are context dependent (i.e. whether one object or another appears more "green" or "blue" depends on what kind of object it is), and colors this intense are very sensitive to changes in eye adaptation and technical details of the display and software, as well as inter-observer metamerism.

So in addition to the color naming difficulties, it's not even a very good test of color naming, if you want to get reliable psychometric/linguistic data.
While computers are indeed very efficient at this: to the extent that the aggregation is useful, it gets gamed.

I guess you can weasel out of this by claiming that >85% counts as "some", but it's misleading at the very least. Moreover, your statement was trying to refute "Almost all plastic waste in developed countries ends up in landfills, not the natural environment", which so far as I can tell is true, even if some small fraction gets exported to developing countries and end up mismanaged.

As I understand it, the ROCA vulnerability is "the secrets generated by a YubiKey may be susceptible to classic cryptographic breaks", something along the level of "the cipher is inherently weak."

This vulnerability, meanwhile, appears to be in the class of "if someone has physical access to your hardware token, and has access to some specialized (expensive) hardware to do side-channel analysis, they might be able to do side-channel on your hardware token." But if someone has physical access to the hardware token... I mean, at that point, most people would consider it compromised anyways and wouldn't expect security guarantees from that point.

Reading this sentence made my arms tingle with anxiety.
>To the extent that this is true, it is by choice.

For anyone in a western country it is not by choice. Your wages get taxed and put towards social security, elderly housing, and Medicare (or equivalent). The work you do to get those wages keeps companies in business, meaning the stock portfolios of those that built them for retirement have value and can be liquidated. Unless you fully disconnect from society, you are responsible for the retirement of those who came before you.

>You're saying that by virtue of just being born, a child is obligated to care for his or her elders through retirement and that their personal choices are irrelevant.

This is putting words into my mouth. I have never prescribed anything, just described things as I see them. It seems plainly obvious to me that simply by working and living, you are putting fuel into the machine that powers your elders' retirement.

>Or, you can pass laws and use force in order to compel people to do certain things "for the good of society."

We already do this, try your luck with the IRS after not paying your social security tax. I do not understand how you envision the world.
