Apple basically already has this built into macos - you can create an encrypted disk image and mount it to access the files. I'm not sure if it is possible to open these on ios.
Of course you do, that's the whole point: to focus on what you actually can control- your own actions, which absolutely includes using your own ingenuity and effort to influence things for the better.

There's no belief or magic required, the word 'reasoning' is used here to refer to an observed capability, not a particular underlying process. We also don't understand exactly how humans reason, so any claims that…
I'm sure both of you know this, but "stochastic parrot" refers to the title of a research article that contained a particular argument about LLM limitations that had very little to do with parrots.
> You don't seem to understand how they work I don't think anyone understands how they work- these type of explanations aren't very complete or accurate. Such explanations/models allow one to reason out what types of…
Yes, that is the process basically for new virus discovery- sequencing and then looking for similarity to known viral sequences. That is still an expensive and time consuming research project, and it fails if the virus…
Those real world early uses of nuclear technology were indeed awful- nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll comes to mind, which did intentional treatment vs. non-treatment experiments on the Marshall Islanders. Even that is…
The paper I cited above that has an ancestor 40 years removed, is actually more closely related to SARS-CoV-2 than RaTG13. "We find RmYN02 shares a common ancestor with SARS-CoV-2 about 40 years ago and RaTG13—about 50…
> It is unlikely. The samples collected would be checked for fragments. It is not straightforward to identify a new virus that is not closely related to known human viruses. You cannot just “check for it.” It is largely…
> I grow most of my own produce, with RO water Do you really grow enough food to make up most of your diet on RO water? And is this specifically to avoid microplastic exposure, or what?
Seems like an unidentified virus could be the cause?
That is not how a dominant trait in genetics works- it means you only need one copy to express the phenotype, but it is no more likely to be passed on than any other genetic trait. It is possible to have a trait that…
That is a subcommittee of the House of representatives- I'm not sure why you didn't mention the House, or mentioned Biden instead? It's a panel of politicians with an obvious political bias, and while some are MDs, none…
It's not pointless at all- it's the core idea behind Stoic philosophy aka "the dichotomy of control," and has proven very effective at improving people's mental health through modern therapy methods like CBT and ACT.…
There is still a lot we can do. Every demagogue and authoritarian regime collapses eventually, often quickly- and they haven't even succeeded in seizing total control yet. As long as we are alive, we can resist.…
This German comedy sketch sums up this situation incredibly well IMO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvgZtdmyKlI
Thanks! That makes sense, I have read that series, but didn't remember that was where this was from.

1. I don't think allocating funds to reproduce research would be worth the cost of displacing other new research. The current way of discovering that research is wrong by trying to build on it isn't perfect either, but…
This is such an interesting and weird phenomenon, in the context of the complexity of human made nuclear reactors. I once read a horrifying fiction story about a pre-industrial culture that used nuclear reactions in…
It was because they could only image a dead/fixed 2D cross section on an electron microscope. The 2D cross section of a vast interconnected network of tubes looks like disconnected small “beans.”
Are you kidding me? How could you simply take that at face value?
We're talking here specifically about how to solve the problem of academic fraud- not how to solve the problem of treating trainees more fairly. That's an important problem also, but not what my comments were…
Published historical pay will be 12 month salaries. Most non tenured professors will refuse the optional summer salary and work all summer for free, because they have to pay for it from their own grants- it means hiring…
