It took months before I actually saw one and realized I wasn't just reacting to something else (I had just changed laundry detergents when it started, for example), but after that it was one single heat treatment - had to leave for around 7 hours while the pest company brought in heaters and raised my apartment to 140 degrees for 5+ hours. Took several more hours afterwards to get back down to a normal temperature. Prep involved moving anything heat-sensitive (like batteries) into the fridge and spreading out things like tightly-packed clothing drawers so the heat could penetrate more easily.

Also the heat treatment isn't guaranteed to kill all of them, but it does damage them so they can't bite anymore. There were a few survivors I saw running around for months afterwards slowly starving since they couldn't feed. GGP saying they only survive a month is definitely wrong - the rule of thumb is 6 months, and I remember seeing a reference that they can feed on each other so a few would last longer.

We're only just starting to get to the point that AI, if unconstrained, is capable enough to be dangerous. The danger is getting to the point where the not-so-bright malevolent actor can tap into AI to get detailed instructions to do something highly destructive, or have it do it on their behalf (e.g. hack into some system), that they wouldn't previously have been able to figure out just by Googling for information and trying to piece it together themself.

Of course not all malevolent actors are dimwits, but there are also many things that even a highly intelligent individual couldn't do on their own, such as a Stuxnet level attack, that AI will eventually (how soon?) be able to facilitate.
Claude is all too willing to provide interpretations. Why not give it a go and see if you can’t crack it yourself? Hypothesis generation is needed!
lol yep no root here

But, I am in an airgapped environment that is tightly regulated if you get it.
You might have better luck if you try today using Claude as support?
Possibly, but the puritans of which you speak talked the way you do too. Puritans might be long gone, but people who do crazy assumption-piling to justify some hatred or other never will be.
Despite the bad press it's received over the years, SGX is a very solid design and works pretty well. Some of the papers presenting breaks turned out to be quite misleading when I looked closely at them some years ago. If you want a general purpose TEE then you could do worse than play with it.

Unfortunately it's not available on consumer hardware anymore, and in the cloud only Azure really supports it AFAIK. And you have to write apps for it specifically, and then you have to have clients that know how to do remote attestation and bind it to secure channels, and you have to program in a threat model in which rewinds are possible at any moment. This is very hard, and it turns out most people in the market don't really care about their data that much (are happy to share it with trustworthy institutions). So it never really took off. But the tech is decent.
Great project, have you heard of freetar? I’ve been using that a lot the last year for its simplicity. It’s also open sourced so you can run your own local hub or deploy.
If you're interested in SMT solvers, the Z3 bindings for Python are very easy to use.
Its mirroring the capability (if not currently the executive agency) of being able to convince people to do things. That alone gaps the barrier as social engineering is impossible to patch - harder than full proofing models against being jailbroken/used in an adversarial context.
Absolutely.. that's what I mean with wisdom :-) I've been doing the same thing. When I was younger I was a little worried that I'd "age out", only until I thought about the older people I was working with. They were either the worst on the team or the best on the team. The latter group were the path I was going down so there risk was small :)
>Particularly the "not even subconsciously" part thrown in at the end. Because, if this were true, then YouTube creators would not pour an insane amount of effort into the THUMBNAILS of their videos. Marketing talent would not study human psychology and do A/B tests to figure out why certain ads sell products and others don't. ...

>There is so much theory and study behind design, attraction, pattern recognition, contrast and standing out from the crowd that even though the average person doesn't necessarily notice how these strings are being tugged on, it doesn't mean that they aren't having an influence .

I think that is the point he was trying to make. Marketers have done all that study to completely destroy the ability of "the majority of people physically cannot notice the difference between good and bad design. Not even subconsciously." Having destroyed the ability to tell shit from shinola, they are now free to sell shit at shinola prices.
Having a door with a lock on it prevents other people from committing crime in my house. This metaphor has the added benefit of making some amount of sense in context.

As someone who works on complex 3D graphics, I'm utterly bewildered by people who buy overpriced, overheating laptops for this purpose (more recently for AI stuff), leave them plugged in 24/7, and then complain about performance, heat, bad keyboard layouts, noisy fans and poor value for money.

Aaaaaanything but a nice efficient PC!
I think it could greatly assist in moderating those networks, to fight spam, trolls etc.

Over my career, I’ve optimized the 99th percentile performance for APIs in high-load systems, deployed serverless architectures, and built high-performance microservices for fintech and marketplace platforms.
40+ shouldn't make it difficult for you to find work, IMHO. 50+ is where ageism starts to be a problem, no matter what your skill level. Consulting is a viable route, but even though your startup failed, I'd start a business anyway and stash as much cash as you can before you pass 50.
Even if we do go by concurrent players, Black Myth Wukong had one of the biggest launches in Steams history with a peak concurrent of 2.4 million players, and that hasn't been cracked either after five months.

Thanks! The "friends" filter with facebook does not really work from me (I have unfollowed all my fb friends and follow only pages/groups mostly for events and such) but realised that replacing "friends" with "following" in the url actually provides a feed with anything I am following, so really thanks!

I used to use the FBP extension but it still takes so long to load and filter out stuff that facebook floods my feed, so this is much better.

Yeah, I also target Chrome and Firefox. I'll occasionally test on Edge.

I had a user report that pinyin was looking funny on Reddit. Turns out they use a system font stack which includes Verdana (and so only shows up on Windows), and Verdana does really poorly with Pinyin ruby (iirc it was a generic ruby thing, not just Pinyin).

I just replaced it with a custom system font stack without Verdana.

Not a difficult fix, but something to be aware of.

Most people don't agree about which qualities are worth caring about. "Quality" as a generic term, is mostly meaningless. It's a word for people who can't shake the habit of thinking in terms of values and quantities to mean "a measure of approval from whoever matters right now".
I would struggle to have a polite response to that question. Come to think of it, the last company that even asked me about high school was a horribly toxic place, and it'd be a red flag that this wasn't a place for me.

Image gen on-device might be tough, we'll save that for the 1.1 release ;)
I'm still dreaming of an image file format where the file begins with the, say, 75x75px image, and then continues with higher and higher resolutions, where the browser can decide when to stop downloading. Ideally they wouldn't be redundant either, e.g. the 2nd block would contain just the data to upscale the 1st block to twice the resolution.. so the "75x75" thumbnail in a hidpi display would just need blocks 1 and 2..
> China’s rise as an automotive superpower is not an anomaly—it’s a case study in the power of state capitalism, a system that marries ambition with strategy, and brute scale with surgical precision.

> The West can gripe about subsidies, overcapacity, and unfair competition, but the reality is clear: China is playing a different game, and it’s playing to win. Where do your solar panels come from, again?

This cannot be overstated. The West can complain all they want, China is playing to win globally as a manufacturing and supply chain powerhouse.
Back in the previous century, people used to do things like post birth and wedding announcements in the local paper. If you had moved away it would not be unheard of for you to be sent a clipping of such a thing by a grandparent letting you know about an old schoolfriend or teacher or neighbor. Keeping in touch with the ongoing life trajectory of people you once knew has long been something people liked to do.
At least Miranda wrote "Shiny" which is the best of the recent Disney Villain songs..

Some of the reviewers made the great point that Moana 2 falls flat compared to the first one partly because Lin-Manuel Miranda wasn't on the songwriting team. (Your Welcome was excellent too)

Off-the-top-of-my-head answer: Either of vim and emacs (with appropriate variant + choice of add-ons of course) would probably work, because those have a lot of generic tools for programming language support: syntax highlighting, tagging, language server etc. It might not be as convenient (for many) as the graphic IDEs, but a lot of people swear by either one of these for higher-level languages.
Sorry about that.

mediKanren's source code is under MIT license, and is on GitHub. Alas, the knowledge graphs we use for mediKanren aren't produced by us, and often have very complex licenses (one KG might include knowledge from 80 or 100 databases, each with a different license). As a result, we can't just release the KGs that are needed to actually use mediKanren. Also, creating high-quality queries that take into account all the nuances and quirks of the KGs is tricky, and changes as the KGs and the Biolink standard evolve. As a result, mediKanren requires some expertise to use effectively, along with access to the KGs.

An application that uses mediKanren as a back-end (along with other reasoners) is the NIH NCATS Biomedical Data Translator:

https://ui.transltr.io/

Please keep in mind that both Translator and mediKanren are designed for researchers and for biomedical research, not for patient care or treatment recommendations.

When I lived in NYC I had access to great pizza and I would take advantage of this. But there were times when I wanted Dominos (usually a hangover or similar state of mind/body) and I'd just order it because it's a totally different thing. I don't even know if I'd call it pizza (their pan pizza, etc) per-se but rather a simulacrum of pizza that was engineered to stimulate very primitive impulses in my brain.

Every now and then being trashy is nice.

Why does it need to?
So, VSCode has remote development, which any nerd would instantly think: "oh, that just means it copies files transparently", but it doesn't.

It actually runs the code, including plugins you download from the internet. All your development tools, compilers, etc. are on the remote. And then you just have a blazing fast editor on the front end. It's really unique - you can use Tramp mode in Emacs, but it is extremely slow to copy back and forth. SSH into a remote server? let's just say 200 milliseconds lag when you're trying to input characters is not a good experience.

The highest praise I can give Visual Studio Code is that remote development felt so much like local development that I wondered why it suddenly froze. Well, it turns out it's good, but it still can't deal with a network that's down. That was obvious in retrospect, however I hadn't thought of it at the time because I had completely forgotten I was doing remote development.
Doesn’t matter, we’re not the audience. We have preexisting beliefs that if there was no effort put into making the video, it’s not worth watching. The key is to target people who don’t have that.
DRM has definitely made pirating more difficult, and that is good enough for media companies, even though it is not enough to stop all forms of it. Also as others have pointed out, often it has more business/legal meaning than technical meaning.

One example -- it has made creating pirated videos almost inaccessible to most people. In the past, if all other methods fail, you can always just record your screen with a common recording application. That's not possible with GPU enabled DRM, which is enough to stop a casual consumer to share a movie to their friends (even at a less ideal quality).

> have never had an issue finding what I want at the quality I want within an hour of a episode/movie being released to streaming.

That's because you are consuming mainstream/popular media. You often won't find recordings of a lot of performance art (ballet, concerts etc)* and I-am-not-going-to-name-it-content because there is a lot less demand.

* an interesting exception is that a lot of content released via Blu-ray gets decrypted, ripped and torrented.

100% this. Whenever I've had longer breaks from strength training, clocking in the kind of hours I do in a desk chair eventually gets me to back pain, Aeron chair be damned.

The only thing that works for me then is to hit the weights; squats and deadlifts to be specific. Obviously not doing 1 rep max, relatively high rep range (8-12).

- Week 1: muscle soreness is horrible.

- Week 2: muscle soreness is quite OK and the regular back pain is all but gone.

- Week 3 onwards: gravy.

I'm a seasoned data + AI leader with 10+ years experience building high-performance teams focused on automation, analytics, and data-driven results. I'm the type of person who looks at complex data challenges and sees opportunities for radical transformation. Whether it's automating workflows, experimenting with AI, or creating novel ML models that drive efficiency, I'm all about pushing boundaries and turning data into a growth accelerator.

I was previously co-founder of a B2B data operations tool, Shipyard. Before that, I was the Head of Data at PMG Digital Agency where I built the team from the ground up. It's most important for me to work for a mission-driven company that wants to scale with bold and innovative approaches. I want to sink my teeth into tough problems and learn new things.

I'll do my best work focused on a mix of data, AI, and product. I can seamlessly adapt between IC or management roles and I prefer to have a decent amount of time hands on. Smaller organizations with the ability to build something from the ground up is a big plus. Despite my background, I'd like to avoid working in the advertising space.

I wrote this on Mastodon, but I will copy it over here. Because he spouts nonsense all across the forum on a fairly regular basis.

The creator is a BDFL but they are against setting up a foundation because they <i>"lost faith in mankind"</i> and then ranted about "master vs main" on git, and used that to segue into a mini-rant on essentially "woke" ideology. In less than 500 characters.

I get the vibe they might be racist, sexist, and just a bit out-of-touch with reality. I wouldn't trust having corporate code, or any code, built on it. Dude is a bit unhinged in that regard.

I work for Accenture too. It's like any giganto-corp, there are parts of the organization that are great and parts that are not so great. I was lucky to be hired into one of the very good areas.

And how many people who threatened to “move to Canada” did so? I don’t doubt that Elon’s antics will have an impact, but in my experience the actions people take may be different when the rubber meets the road. Your friends may be less idealistic (or changed by the world) in a few years, and some concerns may be weighed differently.

I don’t think there’s a valid universal “hybrids are better” conclusion; it all depends on your specific needs and what you value. A single car for a single person is different than a family with multiple cars. For an electric car, Tesla still makes a compelling product (and while competitors in the US are getting much better, notably Hyundia/Kia, Tesla still feels like the market leader).
