I'm pretty sure it's just the width of the path that corresponds to how popular it is.

Planet Money episode #886: The Price of a Hack [1] interviews a supervisor at a company who instituted required anti-phishing training, with good results. [1]: https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.ph

True, but CharlesW's parent comment was specifically about "U.S. factory farms". And even 14.5% is significantly lower than what I would have guessed before listening to the episode.

There was a recent freakonomics podcast [1] from which I learned that greenhouse gas emissions mostly come from cattle breathing, not their manure (I guess the manure imagery that often goes along with describing livestock environmental imp

As a mindfulness-building experiment, I'll occasionally try writing down everything I do on a given day (before I do it). Even small things, like reading an article on hacker news, or responding to a text. It's kind of the invers

Any idea what the "roll-around mouse" thing is that he mentions? The only Google results for that phrase are cat toys

Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who prefers cotton boxers to synthetic boxer briefs. Pros of the cotton boxer: * More breathable * Less scratchy * Less "death grip on your junk"-y * A lot less expensive Cons: * I gue

Would love to see a more up-to-date version of this. I know MIT sold [1] a bunch of its address space not too long ago. [1]: https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2017/05/mit-goes-on-ipv...

Sounds like a timer interrupt invoking a scheduler. Interesting!

Math is different in that one feels there should be something close to "absolute truth." That is, given a set of axioms, it is possible to verify with complete certainty whether a proof follows from those axioms or not. Though whe

I feel like I retain information more easily when listening to audio on 2x. Listening to audio is significantly slower than reading, and often by the time the speakers get to describing the results, a lot of time has passed from when they d

I use the inoreader web app, which works quite well. I don't think RSS is the type of thing that really needs its own native app anyway.

This article sounds unnecessarily biased. All art has stylistic and thematic influences. Nothing in Van Gogh's experimentation with or usage of Japanese elements looks egregious to me.

I see. It seems like training a model for a hero with only targeted spells would be much faster than training a model for a hero which can cast spells at arbitrary map locations. I don't play DoTA, so not sure how many such heroes exis

What are the 170,000 discrete actions? Rough guesses for available actions: 32 (directions for movement) + 10 (spell/item activations) * 20 (potential targets. heroes + near by creeps) + 15 (attack commands. 5 enemy her

Web-based applications will all be the same, CLI programs will mostly be the same between any nix operations system, homebrew is conceptually not that different from any other package manager. Most IDEs are very portable. What's the m

I also had trouble following this article. The Tesla vulnerability at the top seems to be simply a misconfigured kubernetes cluster, through which the attackers were able to get at AWS credentials. But then all of the subsequent examples ar
