41,788,512 | comment | archgoon | 2024-10-09T14:50:26 | null | I don't get it. The article's title is that the ranchers have become allies to jaguars and pumas.<p>But nothing in the article supports that view. What has changed are cattle ranching practices that reduce the opportunity of attack. Everything that the article talks about is "How did cattle ranchers adapt to an ever present threat of pumas and jaguars without killing them (for reasons that are not well discussed beyond a reference to a government mandate)" rather then "We're best buds now!" or even "We have found utility in the jaguar and puma population that benefits us".<p>It seems the adapted practices are beneficial on their own, but it sounds like they would be beneficial without jaguars and pumas. | null | null | 41,787,967 | 41,787,967 | null | [

Nearly all English speakers are using keyboards with a single apostrophe key which inserts \x27, and could not insert any of the other quote characters even if they wanted to.

41,788,553 | comment | zemvpferreira | 2024-10-09T14:54:08 | null | I would personally replace 'cost of building' with 'cost of maintaining', but otherwise agree with your reasoning. It's worth building in a factor of safety, such that I would formulate this idea as:<p>Only build software if the cost of maintaining it is 1/3 or less than the cost of buying a license.<p>(this has the nice second-order effect of being more robust to errors in the maintenance estimate, hence making it quicker to estimate). | null | null | 41,784,836 | 41,781,777 | null | null | null | null |

First is that it's an open question as to how much IQ correlates with intelligence (particularly since we still don't have a solid definition of what "intelligence" is), and the second is that LLMs certainly ingested many IQ tests and the answers into their training data. | null | null | 41,782,874 | 41,782,874 | null | null | null | null |

Quantum mechanics does not successfully model gravity, and general relativity contains no superpositions, so the situation is completely beyond our theoretical understanding. This isn't a theoretical consideration, this is something real that you can do in an undergrad physics lab experiment pretty easily.<p>Now the problem is that the models we have developed so far to deal with this situation turned out to be (wildly) too difficult for us to test. I think it is very far from clear that the Oppenheim & co model falls into this category - imo its completely reasonable for them to be spending theoretical effort working out what is needed to test their model. | null | null | 41,786,558 | 41,775,463 | null | [

What good journalists do is take their inherit bias into account and adjust for it. The reporting should be truthful, and people should know the facts after reading it. Biased media often editorializes the truth so it conveys one message rather then another. This can be bad, or it can be good, it depends on the message. When the message is “a genocidal army is doing a bad thing”, I lean towards this editorializing being good actually. | null | null | 41,784,195 | 41,783,867 | null | [

Running an ancient kernel does mean you're more vulnerable to local privilege escalation, but an attacker would have to obtain local code execution first. It being an "old blog", there probably wasn't much more running than the SSH daemon and a web server, serving either static pages or some simple PHP pages; the attack surface wouldn't have been that large. | null | null | 41,788,092 | 41,785,595 | null | [
