If there’s public information about the methods they use to protect their privacy, then those methods aren’t working.

I’m not familiar with how the X1C does it, but the printers I’ve used can only tell if the temperature or resistance are outside of normal operating range—not if they differ from the exact values predicted at each point in the print.

The printers themselves should run a simulation like this while they’re printing, and continually check if heat sensors, motor resistance, etc. are deviating from the simulation. That might let them detect potential misprints earlier—or even correct issues mid-print.

Thanks to the neural network, the researchers now suspect, for example, that the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is spinning almost at top speed. Its rotation axis points to Earth.

Why wouldn’t the rotation axis be perpendicular to the galactic plane? Pointing right at Earth seems a bit suspicious.

I assume it’s because it reduces the possibility of other processes outside of the linked containers accessing the files (so security and stability).

This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically.

In 1583, a pamphleteer named Philip Stubbes railed against the growth of a violent game that was sweeping across England. He wrote about the game in his pamphlet “An Anatomie of Abuses,” calling it (in Old English, which I’ve cleaned up a bit)…

That’s not Old English or even Middle English—it’s Early Modern English.

Any evidence of how far back in their dinosaur lineage the avian DVR originated?

The password to my home server is a salted hash of my primary (memorized) password, so I can recover it from any computer that can run the hash function. From there I can access the rest of my saved passwords, bookmarks, etc.

But during the Second Iron Age (450 to 52 B.C.), Creuzier-le-Neuf was at the crossroads of territorial occupation by the powerful Celtic Arverni, Aedui and Bituriges tribes.

We’ve had one Iron Age, yes. But what about Second Iron Age?

CasaOS is not an operating system and more like a GUI for Docker

So it’s more like Portainer?

If I’m following, the gist is that more biodiversity causes species to specialize rather than generalize.

Is that really so unexpected?

My theory is that the inhabitants of K2-18b are deliberately flooding their atmosphere with dimethyl sulfide to make it unappealing to humans.

Of course hermaphroditic worms are one thing, and humans traits are another

Yeah, I have to keep reminding myself of that.

…after the predator instantly becomes enamored with the adorable baby quokka, and calls her own kids over to play.

According to the paper, they tested ten different split-and-merge scenarios and this one was the most likely. But they give some important caveats, including:

• They assume that the smaller group had a more-or-less constant population size—if it fluctuated significantly, some of their other predictions on the dating of the split and merge might be off.

• They can’t rule out more complicated scenarios, like three or more splits and merges (but they can rule out the simpler scenario of no splits).

They do say that they tested their model on a number of other species (including chimps, bats, and dolphins), and got results consistent with those species’ known evolutionary histories.

They compared the entire genomes of 26 different modern human populations, and modeled their history to account for the patterns in the modern genomes.

For example, suppose a particular gene has two distinct groups within the modern genomes, with each group showing similar mutations within the group that are different from the mutations in the other group. You can infer that the two groups represent a split into two populations that later recombined, and you can infer the time of the split and the relative population sizes of the two groups from the number of mutations in each group.

Do that for the entire genome and you can make finer-grained inferences, like determining which genes experienced positive or negative selection pressure.

So the way I’m interpreting this is that the finch’s song neurons are pass-by-value and the budgerigar’s are pass-by-reference.

Further images reveal how massive galaxies surrounded by dark matter, the invisible substance said to pervade the universe, warp space and magnify more distant galaxies behind them.

So Euclid’s images violate Euclid’s parallel postulate.

all of those languages implement recursion in one or another way

Yeah—Python and English are both recursive, so that doesn’t account for why the brain processes them differently. But they need to figure out what other feature does account for it—ideally by finding a pair of (probably artificial) languages that differ only in the exact feature which triggers the language network. Then they can figure out how that feature relates to recursion or any other mental abilities that might have co-evolved with language.
