The paper says 1.5% of pairs were indeed between the same morphs. No mention of infertility, but white/white pairs produce 1/4 of chicks with both 2nd chromosomes mutated and the only male chick of this kind they found was 50% und

Mics have lower impedance than active speakers, which is the kind you plug into those jacks.

I'm under impression that pulse dialing had been phased out in many countries, with tone dialing being the replacement.

This ought to be true in most HP amps out there but there may be exceptions and possibly (I wonder if anybody ever investigated it?) some parasitic coupling too. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13014435#13018118

They aren't fully identical, though. On my motherboard with some Realtek 8xx chip, plugging headphones into front panel jack, green jack, black jack and everything else produces progressively worse quality. Mainly bass suffers and on

Some programs may have strings like /usr/share hardcoded in them. I once tried renaming the root user to "boss" and it unearthed few issues of exactly this kind.

OK, I see what's the problem. By "higher score" I meant "higher score than the other group for given default risk ", not "higher score than the other group on average ". So, by my nomenclature, fig. 7.1

I think you are being deceived by your real-world presumptions about the fictional example somewhat unfortunately and misleadingly engineered by Google. From your previous post: > The problem being worked on here is "what if Armenia

ACPI? I think it's UEFI mounting the Windows partition and dropping some files there before booting the OS. ACPI executes on a virtual machine inside the kernel and afaik it's not supposed to be able to write to files.

I think what the research itself (as opposed to politics surrounding it) was about is summed up in the last paragraph: A key result in the paper by Hardt, Price, and Srebro shows that—given essentially any scoring system—it's possible

The problem is that retirement is a Ponzi scheme and it's not clear if the current 3rd world children will care (or even have the means to care) about our 1st world problems in the future.

Nothing unusual for vendors to certify their RAM for nonstandard speed.

Possible but hard because: 1. OSs are generally unaware of the details of memory controller configuration, everything is preconfigured by firmware. Apple's vertical integration could help here, but they would probably need help from In

Firmware can be another issue. My parents have a washing machine with busted power transistors and MCU which drives them. The MCU could be replaced but without FW it's a brick.

Having been brainwashed by WaPo's headline, I interpreted it as automated but requiring operator's confirmation before "acting", i.e. actually sending something, which sounds reasonable if you aren't sure that your

I think it's safe to wager that the original purpose of marriage was indeed procreation, curbing reproductive fraud and providing stability for families. Then it got hijacked by religions and then by countries and what it is today nobo

The author did by using the word "bot" and WaPo did by saying "programming bots to fight racism". Maybe it was only clickbait but they clearly suggested automation.

Not sure what contradiction you mean. Human bullshit detectors are being gamed all the time (and had been since forever) but they are still more effective than anything contemporary computers could do. Unlike computers, people can go and se

It'll be turned against you. Which, in turn, will make Twitter an endless bot flamewar. It'll stop working the moment anybody notices. In fact, its effects will be inverse from that point. It's essentially spam.

I think posing as a "high-status" member of some "group" and spamming them with some cooked message qualifies as propaganda.

No, root pendrives must exploit bugs in USB/block/fs/UI subsystems of the OS. PCIe devices can read/write RAM directly as they please unless isolated behind IOMMU.
