You're assuming the gravitational field can't permeate the wormhole. In your first scenario, the gravity well would extend out of the other side of the wormhole.

A wormhole is in no way a gravitational discontinuity, the toplogy for them is well defined. The creation of a wormhole would be a bit tricky, as this does require a discontinuity, but there's no reason to think that's impossible. After all, a gravitational singularity is also a discontinuity, and physicists have no problem with that.

Here's a concrete example:

That's a wormhole with a well-defined metric that satisfies the Einstein field equations.

> You could "lift" matter outside the gravity well without spending energy.

How is that? Wouldn't the gravitational force just propagate across the wormhole, making for a continuous gravitational gradient?

Maybe we're talking about separate conceptions of what a "wormhole" is here. For one example of what I'm picturing, you could have a one-wormhole universe as a three-dimensional hologram along the surface of a 4D hypertorus. You can go "through the doughnut hole" to get somewhere quicker than you could by going "around the doughnut", but that doesn't mean that there's a discontinuity anywhere on the surface of the hypertorus. Gravitational waves from one point-source would be propagating both "into" the wormhole (along the inside of the doughnut) and "through regular space" (along the outside of the doughnut) and eventually encountering themselves at the destination and maybe constructively or destructively interfering, but they wouldn't be forced into a square wave at any point.
Excellent! So you just put this into a cron job and it does incremental backups?

Active hives have increased because beekeepers have reacted to the increase in bee die-offs by splitting hives and otherwise increasing the number of hives they have. This causes an increase in demand for queens, and companies that sell queens will have more hives in order to meet that demand. Also, simple economic growth is a possible contributor to the increase in number of hives.

Who determines what "connotations" a particular plate has? Some random religious person in the DMV? This is why it's important to make sure people understand what it means to live in a secular society.
> How is that? Wouldn't the gravitational force just propagate across the wormhole, making for a continuous gravitational gradient?

That would be even worse. Let a strong gravitational force go through the wormhole and drop something near it (not through it).

Then move the wormhole (and the gravitational force) elsewhere, lift the object, and bring the wormhole back.

Normally the thing that generates gravity has inertial mass, so it costs energy to move. Not with a wormhole. If you speculate that it should have inertial mass, then how much?
I do dislike individual language package managers and ecosystems for this reason, but I think it's gotta be accepted at this point. Practically every language has their own package repo and versioning apparatus now. Ruby has RVM, Node.js has NVM, Python has PyPi/venv, etc. Most projects expect their users to deploy with these and include things like Gemfiles to define dependencies. That usually means if you insist on using the upstream packages provided by the distribution, you're going to have to install them manually and have a bunch of extra headaches to worry about anyway (to be honest, most custom applications are really difficult to get running using only distro-packaged Ruby or Python libs).

Olympics have actually placed a large focus on 'sustainable' developments.

In Sydney, the Sydney Olympic Park is still standing and is used for lots of events all year round. The athletes villages were converted into apartments.

London's has been championed as one of the most sustainable, with it being used to rejuvenate a dead industrial area. Some facilities were built to be temporary, whereas other are being developed further.

There's a reason they say that. And there is no place in the universe without gravity. It's a mathematical solution, not a representation of the physical world.
It runs Kubernetes for its users to run on, but does Google run its search or ad stuff on it?
Well yes, but if you introduce the kind of topologies you can get with wormholes, things can take the shorter path through the wormhole, so it "looks like" they are moving faster than light.
Ask HN: How do you monitor your infrastructure's health?
What tools or services do you use or recommend to supervise the health of your server infrastructure? By health, I mean anything from testing APIs to monitoring uptime, or other general metrics that you care about with respect to the servers and services you manage.

We have a collection of about a dozen servers and another dozen API providers. We've looked at a few services like Paw (https://paw.cloud/) or Postman (https://www.getpostman.com/) for regular API testing. We've looked at services to monitor uptime. However, there are a lot!

Tying this back to the main point...

Salience is a big part of proficiency. If you're productive and familiar with a tool, and it wouldn't be terribly important to your actual needs to optimize that aspect of things... then even in the situation where there might be a better tool out there, it'd be fine to stick with what you know.

But on the other hand, if you struggle with a tool because you're using it in the wrong context, and you're either not aware of that because you're missing the bigger picture... or you're aware of it but refuse to step away from dogmatic best practices to customize for the situation at hand... then that's a bad thing.

So, the question of whether or not to go and find "the best tool" is a matter of whether it's salient in the context of the problem you're solving (and a bit more generally, the kinds of problems you solve day to day)

So proficiency involves to some extent choosing what not to learn as much as it does what to learn.
Has anybody tinkered with other build systems, like Buck, Basel or Pants? I've tinkered with Buck and I seems amazing for working with incremental recompilation for module based Java products - distributed caching based on caching of all inputs (including build files), true parallelism and ABI checks when deciding to recompile dependent code.

Don't get me wrong, the scope of Buck is much more limited than Gradle - where I work we have Gradle tasks for various things that don't quite fit into a build system, like deploying.

But boy, I'd love a plugin that uses Buck behind the scenes for compilation and artifact builds.

Aside: I brig this up because I've found it really hard to have a large Gradle project that is decoupled on the module level, preventing good parallelism.

> ... but that can change if the other person is you daughter ... old age ...

It isn't as complicated as you're making it out to be, the decision made by the individual depends on the maximization of their goals. So that depends on the weight they assign to the importance of genetic immortality, reproductive years remaining, justice in an afterlife, etc. Sure, not everybody is a perfectly rational actor applying game theory in their daily interactions, but individuals are much more self interested than you're describing - even with family.
> Do you disagree with Dr. Kip Thorne?

What's there to argue with? He doesn't claim wormholes can exist.

Not extreme scale, using a type of energy that doesn't actually exist. i.e. it's not about the quantity of energy, it's the type. It's a mathematical result, not an actual thing.

My take on the CISC/RISC "fight" is that the RISC was based on the assumption that the CPU clock was the limiting factor, so making a simpler CPU (RISC) would allow the CPU to be clocked faster than CISC and thus it would run faster.

This was the case briefly when RISC came out (e.g. Alpha), but x86 fought back with improved fab technology and also threw more power at the problem. Lots of power.

What blindsided RISC was that the CPU clock speed is not as much a limitation as memory access speed[1]. The voracious appetite of RISC instruction fetching[2] through the memory subsystem slowed it down more than it could speed up the CPU clock. (Yeah, yeah, broad generalizations.)

Oh man, my point in a great graphic! https://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/

[1] If you run the numbers, todays DDRn SDRAM latency is maybe half the latency of the original IBM-AT even though the advertised when streaming bandwidth is several orders of magnitude faster. In other words, if you are not streaming the memory accesses, your memories are not much more than 2x faster than the IBM-AT. Caching enables streaming. Branches break the stream. That is why both caches and branch prediction logic is huge.

My numbers are out of date, but when I ran the numbers for the DDR2(?) memory in my hardware, the worst case latency was 56 clock cycles (e.g. if you had to close a page, open a new page, CAS latency, etc.).

[2] RISC takes 1.5-2x more instructions than CISC in my experience. YMMV.

> “Yes, there was an initial denial, but as soon as it was brought to our attention it was rectified immediately,” Ms. Bellack said. “She has the right to apply for the plate, and the plate is available to anyone, including this individual.”

So the person complained that some minimum wage worker at the DMV inappropriately denied a vanity license plate, which was overruled by the person in charge and they still had to spend 3 years in court and pay out $75,000. Fuck that. A low-level person made a mistake and it was immediately fixed, but this person apparently saw it as an opportunity to get some free money out of the government.

In the case of RISC-V, the compressed extension only covers a subset of the full length instructions, but can be freely intermixed with them. It turns out that RV64GC (risc-v 64 bit with compressed instructions) usually beats x86_64 in dynamic instruction bytes.

Not even wrong. I have two PCs with 4 Titan X (Maxwell) GPUs and a third PC with 4 Titan X (Pascal) GPUs. Both of these systems are available today (I built them myself, total BOM about $7K), and both will destroy 4 Xeon Phi servers at Deep Learning.

The benchmark Intel presented here is as disingenuous as their infamous white paper from 2010: http://pcl.intel-research.net/publications/isca319-lee.pdf

In comparison, a single Knights Landing Xeon Phi will be ~$7K. I know where I put my money. Caveat Emptor.

But Xeon Phi and I go way back here. They've been trying to beat my AMBER GPU code since 2013 or so. Many man years later I believe that a Knight's Corner is now ~35% faster than 2 Xeon CPUs with 1M atoms or more (source: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016CoPhC.201...95N)

Meanwhile, the CUDA code has continued to scale with the GPU roadmap and a Titan XP is arguably 9-10x faster than 2 Xeon CPUs. No data is supplied at the low-end for Xeon Phi and I think we can safely assume it's because performance there sucks. (source: http://ambermd.org/gpus/benchmarks.htm)

Xeon Phi? IMO avoid avoid avoid until they start winning head to head 3rd party benchmarking fights like Soumith Chintala's fantastic convnet benchmark data: https://github.com/soumith/convnet-benchmarks

"As soon as it was brought to our attention" is probably code for "as soon as we received certified mail from an attorney intending to sue".

That's why these kinds of test cases are important.
People overestimate the positive impact of technology. Of course in Silicon Valley you're considered crazy if you don't believe technology solves everything. But it's not as simple as that. My grandparents for example, had no internet, no Facebook, no iPhones. They're doing great and have led very fulfilling lives. Most of the positivity in their lives came from their relationship with each other and their kids. Of course they are only one example, and that is not a lot of data. But we know that there are millions of people in Silicon Valley right now who have the fastest internet, the most amazing social media apps, they are young and can take advantage of all the modern technology in existence, and yet they might feel isolated and be totally depressed in their lives.
