Part of this research was inducing specific mutations in their samples and testing infectivity. Is that what people mean by Gain of Function research?

This is a fantastic amount of misleading data. To the point that I would call it malicious. Why doesn't it mention for example that rising temperatures will likely kill thousands and create millions of climate refugees? And how specifi

Big fan of Mosh for what it does. But the fact that it can't render Unicode properly makes it really hard to work with some files remotely. IIRC there's a PR that fixes and has never been merged

Short answer: yes. I don't think they intend to support U2F hardware that lends itself to automation. I doubt any reputable manufacturer even makes these, since it defeats the purpose to begin with.

Interestingly enough, IPA actually does have a way of distinguishing these sounds. The Spanish t is always unaspirated [t]. But the English t can sometimes be unaspirated [t] as in "stamp" or aspirated [tʰ] as in "too"

There's lots of systemically horrible things that can happen if you're not careful about what you allow. If you're interested why these ethical principles exist in the United States, I suggest you at least skim the Belmont Re

You're right. This isn't a good use case for FHE. Instead, FHE is really useful when the query itself is private, and the data is not private. One example is a private OCSP. Every time you open a TLS-secured webpage, your browser

You can think of FHE as just "you can compute arbitrary polynomials over ciphertexts". You can't exactly get conditional execution using polynomials. Most people instead think of FHE computation as "arithmetic circuits&q

No. If they wanted to harvest metadata, they could do it while still making their repo look up to date and totally clean. Wouldn't be hard either.

I think the answer is don't watch TV news if you can help it. If 100% of their revenue comes from ads, then their incentives are clear: keep you watching no matter what. The way I see it, written news at least has a wider range of opti

In hard drives, reading off a single track is the fastest op, and reading off of sequential tracks is the next fastest op. I’d count that as a feature of the 2d geometry of the disk
