>However, liver eating is a moot point regardless, because evolutionary theory would suggest eating toxins would have a bad taste/smell, so that organ would simply be avoided, while eating the rest. So it has no bearing on whether cannibalism happens or not.

yes, this is why evolutionary theory is the softest of hard sciences and the hardest of soft sciences.

We have nothing but confirmation bias and little time to test anything macro.

However, we do have contra-positives and the like; in this case, we (ourselves) avoid Liver in some animals, and notice the M.A.D-avoidance agreement among more socially-complex systems.

You shouldn't eat your young, you should eat your rival tribes young.

Especially because the young hand't accumulated much toxins yet, relative to the adults. And it is easier to bash babies over rocks than grown adults.

In the 90s I worked for a company in Kansas City designing pagers. We rented space underground for RF testing. There are no radio signals in the caves, at least back then. I'm sure that's different now, especially with manufacturing happening there. (Our cave was closer to downtown and was mostly used for warehousing.)

I thought we could have cut the entire thing short by vaccinating everyone who wanted it, and letting them quarantine, while at the same time encouraging everyone who didn't want to be vaccinated to socialize as much as possible (while watching hospital capacities carefully.)

There was this strange determination at the time, from every media and government outlet, not to accept that having had covid was as (or more) effective than taking the vaccine. And also not to accept that mass lockdowns were destructive. My grandfather was a victim of the lockdowns (as one of the many with vascular dementia who were kept going by being stimulated by family.) After 93 years of raising a family, he got to die alone, confused and isolated.

edit: it's all of the authoritative disinformation during covid that's threatening cervical cancer vaccination. It brought the thoroughly discredited anti-vaxxers of yore back into the (numerical) mainstream, and respected as heroes (JFK, Jr. for one example.) Wakefield's paper is just as stupid as it ever was, but now you will never convince the majority of Americans that vaccines don't cause autism. The Lancet is trash.
I’m not sure I understand — can you elaborate on “what’s wrong with an information schema and an order by”? I don’t see how that’s connected to the problems I described with pg_dump or the solution offered by pgmigrate, but I’d be curious to learn another way of solving be problem.
Fully agree. There are many bad things that can happen to data. Another good feature is that ClickHouse is fairly tolerant of torn blocks and handles many failures automatically. This fault tolerance actually makes some corner cases hard to illustrate in demos, because ClickHouse repairs them silently. Users never see them.

In this context, "persuasion" is an idiom just means something like "background" "has this attribute".

It doesn't have anything to do with the typical meaning of "persuade" because English is weird.

Apple is in a weird position, on one hand they HAVE to give us government way to access people's iphone (CIA, NSA), and in a less direct way to the whole us government (local cops). On the other hand, privacy is a main point of their marketing so they have to look like they do things to protect it's users.

So they obviously have direct backdoor for the big ones like cia, and they let some wiggle room for 'security' companies that sell 0day exploit to local cops. If they didn't do, there would be lobbies until inevitably they too get their backdoor, which would look bad for apple. It would kill the myth of iphone privacy, any cop could leak about it.

I suspect this is either a bug or a feature that won't really prevent cops from accessing suspect's iphones, they will be annoyed until their 'unlock tool' get updated.

Don't count on Apple to actually fight any government to protect their customer privacy. If they did so, they would never have set up an alternate icloud on CCP controlled server for their Chinese customer, they Would have gone out of Chinese market.

Voyagers are so far away that possibility of owning necessary antenna is probably limited to nation-states or mad billionaires. Also DSN-sized antenna is not exactly easy to hide. If you are hell-bent on breaking Voyager and have such resources I think you could acquire necessary information anyway (I guess you could get uplink data for reverse-engineer framing format by standing near DSN antenna with SDR?).

it's funny what happens when people experience the cognitive dissonance to justify enabling someone with trump's ethos (or lack thereof).

everyone wants to pretend they have one, while simultaneously shirking accountability for his when they cast a vote, and then claim hurt feelings and vitriol to deflect away from their enabling of such a lack of ethos.

what you're experiencing is a rejection of your worldview.

when a person does egregiously disrespectful, demeaning things -- be it you or the demographic you perceive to be so under attack -- you are not entitled to kindness back. as much as i encourage people to try to love even those they hate, respect at the end of the day is a social contract, and even somewhat socratic in its nature.

southern white conservatives used to cancel persons all the time during a rather unfortunate and embarrassing (and hard to quantify in terms of pain), recent part of human (american) history -- this has only evolved to financial segregation and other facades that attempt to convey "we've changed!", and i will steer clear of the rabbit hole that does involve violence in today's climate for the sake of this thread.

the victim mindset around the left attacking the right given america's political history is a deflection. and it really confuses me.

i would have had no respect for these personalities pre-civil rights, and i still don't have much respect for this kind of political victim mindset in modern day america. i was raised with en ethos around humanity that fundamentally rejects it and wishes for and tries to build a different way of living.

if you want kindness and perhaps humanity, demonstrate it authentically and take accountability for history you've either. participated in, been influenced by, or enabled in some manner. support for someone of this dude's ethos is certainly not an act of humanity, and in no way a signal that your worldview should be validated or reinforced.

i have lost friends due to a lack of resources that were previously available and then repealed/removed by the current conservative political machine (which has been exploiting my home state for the better part of my adult life ie decades, and explicitly taking advantage of working class persons living paycheck to paycheck comprising about approx. >= 55% of the labor force) -- and no, i am not talking abortion policy, although that's quite relevant.

so yeah, i can imagine why some people are mad. i am just confused why you cannot empathize and instead have made it about yourself.

it's almost as if a whole swath of american "patriots" completely forgot the political ethos this country was founded upon (Locke et. al).

being an american means that you are, by definition, liberal.

Uh, no. Have you ever been employed? Your job is what is laid out in your contract, period. You are paid to do that specific set of tasks and nothing else. "Other duties as required" be damned.

Fixing the business is very explicitly not your job, and is absolutely not what you're paid for. Any value you create for the business outside of those bounds is at your own cost and you absolutely will not be compensated unless the business is so small you don't have six layers of management trying to extract any kind of promotion.

That is why we get back to "Latin America" doesn't exist :) It is all America, for the grievance of US Americans.
A theory I have seen is that we tend to mix up cause and effect.

So, for example, a dangerous situation causes stress and stress causes the heart to beat faster, all normal. But make the heart beat faster through external means and it will also cause stress. So it is not clear which one is the cause and which one is the effect, probably some weird combination, with all sorts of feedbacks. Life is messy.

So get a heart that isn't yours and it will not beat in a familiar way, which, in turn may be interpreted as changing emotions. And even if memories are entirely contained within the brain, what if the heartbeat is part of these memories, with a heart that reacts differently, the meaning of these memories may change.

For a tech analogy, in order to record a video game session, it is common to only record player input. If the game is deterministic, you just need to run the game with the recorded inputs and the session will be faithfully reproduced. It is much more compact than something like a video. Now imagine we change the game engine so that it responds slightly differently to inputs, now, when replayed, the game will appear different. If we imagine memories are "replays" and the engine is our body, than altering our body will also alter our memories.
It's different but gives a similarly nice feel. The surface is a little rough which makes it give a feeling not too dissimilar to that of a chalk board albeit without the chalk. Not sure if that makes sense, but is definitely worth trying if you're curious.

BTW I was really impressed by the results of F5-TTS. The thing I liked best was the "Tagged" TTS, where you can specify a tag to use different tones of your own voice, like

{Angry}What have you done?
{Suprised}Me, I did nothing?
{Shouting}Who else do you think I'm talking to?
{Sad}Why are you always shouting at me?

I wonder if this would also work for "Character" tags, like

{Susan}How was your day?
{Peter}I had a great day.

That would open great new ways of having audio books read by cloned voices - switching between characters with the same voice like often done by the real narrators

I drove a first generation hybrid 2006 Lexus RX 400h for many years until 2024 and I’ve never had any issues with the hybrid system. There were a few other issues with the car and the battery has obviously degraded over time but everyone saying hybrids are less reliable are ignoring a lot of basic facts such as the fact that hybrids don’t have as prone to failure transmissions, don’t have an alternator, can use less powerful engines without turbos, etc. I would argue hybrids are a better choice than gas powered cars in 2024 considering how complicated gas powered cars need to be to meet modern emissions standards.

Have you tried making a "todo SPA" of your own with the help of these AI tools? I think it is useful for folks to take a step back and try working on something simpler/easier as an intro to these AI tools. And then ramp up the complexity/difficulty from there. When the tools don't work, it can be extremely frustrating. But when they do work, they really do enhance productivity. But it takes a little bit of time to figure out where that boundary is, and it also takes a little time to figure out how much effort to put into using the tool when you are near that boundary. i.e. sometimes I know the AI tools can help me, but the amount of effort I need to put into writing the prompt is not worth the help that I will get. And other times, I know that no amount of prompting is going to get me back something useful.
The basic idea is:

a) find a cooperative receiver of the spoofed packets

b) log/mirror packets on inbound packets at their border routers to determine which peer the packets are coming from

c) ask that peer to do the same thing etc.

You can speed things up if the destination address of the spoofed packets is in a /24 that you can afford to do disruptive experiments with; and you have a wide network with extensive peering. In that case, advertise that /24 at all your locations and to all your peers. When you get traffic, if it's from a single source, you may only need to work with one peer to find the true origin.

I'm not a doctor nor particularly fond of them, but as I understand it older men who have been sexually active are likely already exposed, so doctors won't prescribe the vaccine nor will insurance cover the cost. I don't know if it's something you can just walk in to a clinic and ask for and pay cash.

The big push lately has been to get kids vaccinated before they are teens, which mine (all males) were.

I have not had this vaccine, but at my age and being married any new sexual contacts are pretty unlikely so not sure there's any benefit to me either way.
> In addition to changes in preferences, some recipients describe new aversions after receiving a donor heart. For example, a 5-year-old boy received the heart of a 3-year-old boy but was not informed about his donor’s age or cause of death. Despite this lack of information, he provided a vivid description of his donor after the surgery: “He’s just a little kid. He’s a little brother like about half my age. He got hurt bad when he fell down. He likes Power Rangers a lot I think, just like I used to. I don’t like them anymore though” (p. 70, [8]). Subsequently it was reported that his donor had died after falling from an apartment window while trying to reach a Power Ranger toy that had fallen onto the window ledge. After receiving his new heart, the recipient refused to touch or play with Power Rangers

The obvious-in-retrospect distinction is that memory is everywhere (even a footprintnin dirt is a memory), and selective (reinforced) memory is more complex (as in the OP example), and the combination and communication of memories and information is where the brain really outshines other objects.

Also worth noting that all of the Toyota trucks are way less reliable than their other cars because truck fans are pretty adamant about having the best technology and being able to do everything possible ever in their truck so they update the drivetrain more consistently and there’s more failures and issues.
