Wow… right at the end:
He adds: “Interestingly, the genetic variants we studied are also implicated in other neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. So, this library may be useful for studying other conditions as well.”
These have been harder to pin down than autism spectrum. So this could have some pretty profound consequences.
LibreOffice is offline; each person can run the software in their own device to create and edit documents.
It’s features are equivalent to 2010 Office. That’s not necessarily bad, but it’s not how people usually work today.
Collabora lets you host documents on a central server and have multiple people edit at once, dynamically tracking changes and allowing full revision management. Or, you can keep your documents local and not host them if you don’t want to.
Yes it is… but it actually allows for collab features that LibreOffice doesn’t have.
I wonder why they chose LibreOffice instead of Collabora?
The one I use is part of a hardware UTM, but I also use Lockdown VPN on iOS, and https://pi-hole.net/ in a container on my LAN, and then VPN all my devices to my home network when I’m not at home.
Depends on the browser/OS.
My go-to for general browsing is Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript, which I also use in Edge; I have a few browsers that are still using uMatrix, and I have a proxy filter that strips calls to .js URLs by default except for specifically allowed URLs.
This is why using a local web proxy is a good idea; it can standardize those responses (or randomize them) no matter what you’re actually using.
Personally, I keep JavaScript disabled by default specifically because of this, and turn on those features per-site. So if a website has a script that requires the accelerometer for what it does, that script gets to use it. Other sites keep asking for it? I suppress the requests on that site and if it fails to operate (throws one of those ad blocker or “you have JS disabled errors), I just stop going to the site.
I’ve found that with everything disabled by default, browsing the web is generally a pleasant experience… until it isn’t.
This of course requires using a JS management extension. What I’d really like to see is a browser that defaults to everything disabled, and if a site requests something, have the browser ask for permission to turn on the feature for that particular script, showing the URL for the script and describing what the code does that needs the permission. This seems like an obvious use for locally run AI models.
Er, I suspect you’ve got that exactly backwards.
They call themselves Dverger and are uncannily squat and heavily built and speak in a kind of German/Mongol mash-up accent and language.
And carry picks and axes and wear helmets and beards.
Community living in isolation under a mountain for 6,000 years.
I bet they’d be rather surprised at what humanity has become in the intervening years; I wonder how humans would adapt to an underground lifestyle in 6,000 years.
Reminds me of Ozymandius.
“Predatory” and “Pseudoscientific” aren’t the same thing. Elsevier journals for example are long-established and highly scientific, but also highly predatory. Arxiv only does pre-prints, but isn’t predatory at all.
“We” being the collective “us”.
“We” always behaves differently than “I” do. That’s kind of the point.
Of those three, only “white” is one that can’t change in an instant.
And Trump seems to want to cover that one up.
“There’s a difference between “siding with” and refusing to endorse something.
This is like them saying “in not cutting their hands off, voters continue to side with Democrats.”
It’s highly possible that most of those voters also don’t want to funnel their money to the 1% via Democrat policy. Many probably detest having to make a binary choice between what’s in their worst interest and what’s just more of what got us where we are.
It’s already completed its main mission. At this point, its mission is to observe and report. If the fuel was redirected to acceleration, that would effectively mean abandoning that mission in favor of… something.
What would be the benefit of going faster over being able to communicate with it?
How many years of fuel it has left depends fully upon how that fuel needs to be used to maintain orientation with Earth; there’s no specific answer.
Thing is, privacy isn’t binary; it isn’t even a spectrum. It’s an amorphous 3-dimensional cloud.
Total privacy means that nobody else knows you even exist. Nobody wants total privacy, even if they think they do.
What most people want is for governments and corporations to not be able to track their day to day activity, malicious actors to not have access to their identity and financial data, and individuals to only have the information about them needed to connect and relate in society.
The first thing anyone needs to do is create their own privacy and threat models. Identify your personal risks within those models and adapt as needed.
For instance, using a cellphone of any type means you’re using a location tracker. Same goes for any vehicle with a built in cellular device. That information is available to specific corporations as well as government agencies and sometimes third parties with money.
Is it worth giving up that level of privacy to be connected to other people in most places you’d be likely to go? That’s up to the individual.
Same goes for libre software and hardware.
The craft was designed to land on Venus unharmed; it is likely in one piece at the bottom of the ocean.
Unfortunately, tape can’t mute the microphones.
Yeah; despite this study essentially saying “we can now reliably manufacture the inheritable attributes that trigger ASD in mice, and have eliminated the ones not directly implicated.”
Somehow this will be interpreted as “proof that scientists are causing Autism by adding chemicals to our <insert thing here>.”
