Check out cronenberg's recent movie, crimes of the future, seems relevant haha


agreed, not to mention that there's things that just can't be expressed. Speaking as someone fluent in spanish and english there's nuance to some things that don't really translate well.


Reminds me of the classic yoda quote "do or do not there is no try".


It sucks there are no pictures of the actual sinkhole or forest, but this is amazing!


I find that in a lot of news publications. Like “scientists discover new images of X” and then either no image in the article, or just a very small low resolution one. I’m not sure why that is. Are these sites trying to increase retention time?


Yeah, it would be nice to see those prehistoric trees!! May be they want to reveal that in a paper


What about teenage engineering. Though it's kind of niche?


For those who have not heard about Teenage Engineering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Engineering with their primary product being OP-1 synthesizer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Engineering_OP-1


anyone know of anything like this for Canada? Specifically Ontario.


How about: https://www.ontario.ca/foodland/page/availability-guide

I knew to look for it because where we live, the state (North Carolina) publishes a fruit/vegetable availability chart (http://www.ncagr.gov/markets/availabilitychart.pdf), and I think many governments do. We hang up a copy of the chart in the kitchen so we can know what to look for at the farmer's market and plan accordingly.


That's the whole concept of esperanto afaik. Google it, it's a language designed to be easy to learn.


Yes and it lives up to that promise. This article says English is "easy" but Esperanto is so much easier you can learn it for free along the way of learning English.

For an overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaedeutic_value_of_Esperant...

And a recent experiment: https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/projects/eplus-...

> The tests were completed by the pupils who learned Esperanto and a control group of equal size and same previous language learning experience, who did not. They showed that the children who participated in Multilingualism Accelerator classes had considerably higher scores than those who didn't.


Lots of my friends are Esperanto speakers and we use only Esperanto to communicate. I learned it to fluency in around 2 years. It’s incredibly easy to learn, super fun to use, and unique in that it bridges so many other languages that one can really experience a lot of different culture through the language.


If anyone’s curious, I wrote more about it here: https://martinrue.com/zamenhofa-tago-18/


I think they meant DDos'ing as in the person gets overwhelmed with notifications and can't actually see the notification about the password change. (i.e. the person's attention is the service)


You got it!

Like I sort of referenced in my OP, it's part of a group of exploits which still lacks firm industry terminology, but definitely are out there.

The only firm things I can ID so far in this cyber<>physical attack space is:

- cyber<>cyber TTPs definitely apply in a certain way

- Vulns->exploits can start with CIA-like threat modeling (so ID'd starting point)

- the indicators of compromise show up both in the cyber domain, and physical domain, as part of a single attack

- it's a greenfield on defining what an IOC in the physical domain part of this attack is. If you attack plant watering system, is there anything unique on the outcome of plants that indicate it's definitely cyber?

- The physics of the real world play a large role in governing how the physical aspect of the attack occurs(my human ability to read, process notifications at certain scales of notification receipt)

Another example is "AI/ML" can generate financial reports that are believable. If you consider the behavior that a lot of folks trade purely on Twitter news, you can model exploits via thinking how you could compromise the integrity and availability of financial reports that people trade off of (I and A in CIA) by:

- Integrity: if you can get the fake report to get uptake on Twitter on key nodes, "the truth" of a company's finances can be replaced via this false report, as you have a legion of twitter traders following a much smaller legion of key accounts for trading views

- Availability: if you generate enough volume of this fake report vs. the real report, a metric humans use to eval the truth of things is "is it in every newspaper," so you can reduce the availability of the real report as it is drowned out.

And so on... there's definitely real attacks here, but they exist a bit outside of current security models. Very cool area.


Oh, I see. Sure I guess. But it's not a DDoS either. It would just be a DoS.


Nope, it's a DDoS:

"A DoS attack is a denial of service attack where a computer is used to flood a server with TCP and UDP packets. A DDoS attack is where multiple systems target a single system with a DoS attack. The targeted network is then bombarded with packets from multiple locations."

Multiple apps engaged to notify 1 human, multiple systems attack -> single system.... DDoS.


Seeing all the comments in this thread that people have had bad experiences with pipenv, this contrasts with my own experience which has been pretty good. How has pipenv failed for everyone?

Gonna take a look at poetry, but would love to hear what problems people have had with pipenv?


1. Dependency resolution algorithm failed in places that Poetry handles fine.

2. When Airflow added a dependency choice (based on licences) the setup script required an ENV var choosing one to be set, pipenv swallowed the stdout output and dumped a Pip stacktrace that didn't help diagnose the issue.

3. Mysterious bugs on new pipenv releases that usually manifested as a Pip stack-trace or setuptools stack-trace.

4. Sometimes the bugs were installed Pip version dependent, which made replication hard.

There was other stuff, but can't quite remember off the top of my head.

But yeah, we spent a lot of time trying to figure out why pipenv had broken again. Poetry has been a breeze in comparison.


Are there any of those Japanese ones you can buy in North America? Any brands you're aware of?


> Are there any of those Japanese ones you can buy in North America? Any brands you're aware of?

yeah, i'm curious as well.


Alright since you guys asked I found the closest in spec Sharp model to my favorite domestic Sharp.

In America KC-850U: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BF665Y/ref=emc_b_5_t

In Japan KC-H50-W: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B077TC5PM8/ref=ppx_yo_dt...

The American offering is an extra 150$, but that buys you marketing videos with a fake scientist pouring baby powder through a filter onto a hepa filter. Japan gets no video at all. Otherwise the Ozone generator, carbon + hepa filters, wheel driven wick humidifier, and canister water tanks are all the same.

The Japanese model also includes modes to disable all lighting, switches between displaying humidity or energy consumption in either KWh or yen per day.


Yup I have several of these sharp air filter/humidifiers and I find that they really improve the indoor air quality. It's very subtle, and for the most part you don't even notice a difference when they are running. But when I have accidentally left one turned off for a while I have definitely noticed when I woke up with a horrifically dry throat and nose, or come home to a very stale smelling house.


In case anybody is wondering, it looks like the KC-H50-W can be shipped to the US straight from Amazon, but with the 11.4k yen shipping fee the total comes to ~$317.15. About $30 less than the American model.
