There is a point early in your education as a physicist (Quantum Mechanics) where it becomes impossible to have an intuitive understanding. For Quantum Mechanics you can just do the calculation, there is no way you can get an intuitive understanding, other than by becoming comfortable with the mathematics.

I used the feel the same as you, but then I gave up. One day I was like "screw it, I'm just going to take it for granted". I stopped caring about getting a feel for why things happen, just that they do and I know how to calculate them. When that changed I was suddenly free, I didn't have to worry about why things made sense or not anymore.

You still should understand what the problem is though. Physics isn't just about understanding the mathematics, it's also about understanding the physical arguments that goes along with it. Like how can we come up with the problem to solve in the first place?

One problem I have often had is that in a long derivation my brain will be so fried on the mathematics that I eventually forget what the terms in the equations actually represent. I'm like "what is q again? oh yeah it's a generalised coordinate".

It's cliche but the important part is not giving up. My favourite lecturer, who is a theorist, says that the main issue that students have is fluency. They can do the mathematics, but they aren't fluent at it. They aren't quick, they're slow, it takes them time to work it out, etc. That is what makes you forget, but eventually after seeing the mathematics so many times it will becomes ingrained in your brain, and it will just feel obvious, and you don't have to think about it. Eventually you will become fluent in the mathematics and it will disintegrate as a boundary, and all you'll have to think about is the physics. It's just practise.
That 800 year extrapolation assumes that humans won't have access to genomic modification though, which is unlikely. In any case, the number of kids one has is highly culturally and environmentally dependent--the same people whose great grandparents had 4-6 children now routinely have 1-2. Even in a purely natural-selection sense, if "having more kids" were significantly heritable, the process should have been running for all of human history, and it's not like we're having 400 kids per woman these days. Besides, r-strategists don't always beat out k-strategists.

> You have no basic human right to not be inconvenienced at all by non-violent protestors.

I absolutely have a right not to be held hostage. I also have a right to use public infrastructure, especially when that infrastructure is used by emergency vehicles. Such protests should be met with the minimal necessary force to quickly restore order. Most importantly, these protests are often turn violent, so I'm thankful the police take (non-infringing) precautions to protect themselves and the safety and property of law-abiding citizens.

They've also doubled down on their refusal to not include Carplay/Android Auto. They're putting something called "SmartDeviceLink" which is yet another MirrorLink 1.1 clone

I just do...not...get this. In what alternate reality do they live that would cause them to think "this time will be different"? History has shown time and again that your proprietary special snowflake platform is not going to cause app writers to flock to you when there's something like CarPlay/Android Auto available. I mean, MirrorLink was a pretty good idea, didn't have any real competitors at the time, and it still sold like dog shit sandwiches. Save everyone some time and money, suck it up, swallow your pride, and just put CarPlay/Android Auto on there. Because as I've said elsewhere in this thread, not only will I not buy your proprietary infotainment system, I won't even buy your car.

Even I, a long-time geek who will endure a lot of pain to get something working, cringes at the thought of the hoops I'd have to jump through to get "SmartDeviceLink" to an even minimally useful state. My CarPlay head unit also has MirrorLink, and while I was waiting for Pioneer to update the firmware to include CarPlay, I thought I'd give MirrorLink a whirl. First, I apparently needed to go get a special cable. Yeah, fuck that, you exceeded my tolerance for friction in the first sentence of your user manual. CarPlay? Plugged my iPhone in, waited to see what Apple's special version of frictional hell would be and...it just worked. There's your competition, car makers, and if takes more than just plugging my phone in I'm not buying it.
I can only assume that supported the right-wing protesters who took up occupying that piece of Federal land in Oregon.

"The End of Physics" is a good one. You may also re-think your desire to learn physics. If you get through the book and still want to learn, then you will do it completely without illusions.

You don't have to believe me; look up the projects I mentioned.

This is because current tools don't support developing software in this way. Hence the variety of in-development projects to facilitate it.
3% is a pretty low number for productivity gains during a span of time when 60% of the existing workforce retires. As little as 24% increase in productivity, or 8 years of 3% annual increases, is enough to have a gain in your example.
While you're right about property taxes going to schools, the reality is that urban schools tend to have higher expenditures per pupil than many upscale suburban schools.

For example, in Massachusetts, Boston has per-pupil expenditures about $1,000 more (~5%) than Concord, one of the tonier western suburbs. Sure, Boston has many upscale areas but it also includes neighborhoods like Dorchester and Roxbury.

Yes, you can look through the data and find especially old industry cities that have lower spending than many suburban towns but expenditure/pupil doesn't really follow clear patterns based on the income of the community.
Cute as a Javascript hack, but not going to compete with Vocaloid or Festival Singer.

Somebody really needs to crack singing synthesis. Vocaloid from Yamaha is good, but it works by having a live singer sing a prescribed set of phrases, which are then reassembled. Automatic singer generation is needed.

Figure out some way to use machine learning to extract a singer model from recorded music and generate cover songs automatically. Drive the RIAA nuts. Get rich.

Some email services will allow you to "fetch" mail from another service. For example, I think it's possible with gmail to configure it to log in periodically to your yahoo account and fetch the email.

I run a hosting business and our email stack supports this feature. We use a combination of open source technologies to transfer email like imapsync for the initial transfer and then use a glorified version of fetchmail in a cron job.

I recommend Connections or The Day the Universe Changed (out of print, I think?), both by James Burke. These aren't comprehensive histories of science, but they show how science, technology, and society are intimately connected. They are incredibly well written with lots of carefully selected images. In addition, there accompanying videos were also made (with very high production value) which are also a great deal of fun to watch.

That's interesting! Given that Tesseract.js wraps an Emscripten'd copy of Tesseract, I would have expected close to identical performance. This might have to do with the way we threshold images, with the age of the tesseract version we're using, or both. I'll look into it!

Edit: In addition to those differences, I think your font size is still a bit too small. On an unedited screenshot from a macbook (https://i.imgur.com/iv4ZdSt.png) I get

Although Google's API is certainly better, Tesseract.js should work similarly if you increase the font size. Screenshots taken on 'retina' devices are around the smallest text it can handle well.

Yes it claims to provide a lockfile while locks all your deps all the way down the dependency tree.

You can do (and are supposed to do) the same with npm's own shrinkwrap, but people claim that it doesn't work as intended.

> If that water is from rain then it's a renewable resource, and if it's not used it will just flow to the sea and be wasted.

This is simply not true. A large amount of rainwater goes to (or would go to) replenishing aquifers, which we use to provide our drinking and irrigation water. Unharvested rainwater is not wasted--it replenishes our natural freshwater storage.

Additionally, not all water used is captured rainwater. Some comes from those aquifers being replenished by rainwater, and some comes from fossil aquifers, which DON'T get replenished on a human timescale and are truly non-renewable.

If all our livestock were grown in places like Wales, maybe the idea of "use it or lose it" holds true, but we've got a lot of cattle sitting atop the Ogallala Aquifer in the US, and you can find similar situations many places where we raise livestock.

This is actually a great example. There is only one torrent with more than one seeder referring to the movie (it has 17 seeders). So I am forced to use a single format to view the movie in, can't easily use an app to show it on my TV (key word being "easily"), can't choose subtitles for my language of choice, etc, etc. By accident you are making other people's point.

Were a more distributed, anonymous storage system to exist instead of on prioritizing seeding and recently used, larger catalogs and quality options might exist.
As a muggle, every time I see these things I can't help but wonder:

WHY do we not have a good open-source gaming handheld based on one of these yet?

Smartphones have all but killed the traditional physical-buttons Game Boy/DS/Vita model. Gaming on glass sucks, but people generally don't want to carry around another device in addition to their phone. I'm looking forward to the Nintendo NX, but I'm afraid a proprietary platform won't be able to bring handhelds back again — it will just be too limited and locked-down.

Here's my wish/suggestion list for a modern handheld, for those of you that can build these things:

- Open-Source OS. (Android?)

- Bundled with emulators for all classic systems (C64/GB/NES/SNES/etc.) out of the box.

- A game store.

- Two joysticks, D-Pad, 4 buttons, 2 Triggers.

- 720p Touchscreen.

- AirPlay-like ability to play on my TV screen, or on a computer screen via a macOS/Windows/Linux app.

- SD card storage.

- WiFi.

- Ideally, Swift toolchain with a high-quality games SDK :-) (or at least Unity support.)

Don't need a camera. Don't need "apps" like browsers and media players or whatnot. Got 'em on the phone. Probably don't require Bluetooth either. Not sure about a microphone — may be needed for multiplayer chat.

The price point would need to be cheaper than any other handheld and most smartphones.. I wonder if the tech is there to make and sell something like this for less than a 100 bucks?
I have found that people, even technical people, will question any study you send their way if they don't already agree to it. They'll say the sample isn't big enough, that the statistics are flawed, or they'll cite contrary studies.

I don't understand what you're looking for. I don't have juicy information you don't have, so I imagine if there is something out there that you searched and couldn't find, I don't think I'll succeed in finding it either.

I guess that means all that remains is intolerable bullshit?
You are coming dangerously close to implying that children in poorly performing school districts are intrinsically unschoolable.

ASK HN: What cpus are used in IBM bluemix?
Everywhere I look IBM bluemix talks only about memory , you are charged by memory etc..., but it never says what kind of cpu (or vCpu) you are getting.

Does anyone know how fast are bluemix instances (I.E. the cpu's frequency), are there any guarantees about performance?

It's mind boggling to me that a vendor offering cloud computing services doesn't clearly mark what cpu you'll get.

"One of the solutions to classism is to have people mix more. Live together, school together, work together, marry together."

There are two problems with this. One, mixing people together often results in the two groups fighting over scarce resources (whether that be spots on the football team, dates to the prom, playing rights at the local basketball court, or well-paying union or government jobs). The battle for scarce resources actually greatly increases class or race based animosity. Second, there are very real differences in behavioral patterns between groups. If you bring in a low class population that is playing loud music until 12AM and letting their kids make mischief around the neighborhood, again, that is going to greatly increase classism.

See for instance the books "Boston Against Busing" or "Philly War Zone: Growing Up in a Racial Battleground" which describes the conflicts that happened when integration was a big thing in the late 60s and early 1970s.

I also wrote a blog post myself on how I changed my mind about the usefulness of Section 8 vouchers and using integration as a solution to class and racial divides: http://devinhelton.com/historical-amnesia.html

You shouldn't be kicking off CI builds based on unpinned deps (unless you're deliberately doing 'canary testing' etc), because of course that will break. The npm solution for this is to use 'npm shrinkwrap' and you should always have been using this at your site/project level otherwise there was no hope it could work.

It's not that npm devs were naive enough to believe that unpinned deps would be safe for reproducible builds.

However I've heard several people allude over the years that 'npm shrinkwrap' is buggy, and isn't fully reproducible (though never experienced any problems personally). This is the aspect yarn claims to address, along with a supposedly more succinct lockfile format.

As a mathematician, I disagree, but this is probably because I already understand the math pretty well. I'd much rather have a clear picture of the most useful mathematical models for the various areas of physics (and where they fail) than slog through the centuries of failed experiments and feuds. Every time I ask a physicist for a clear picture of what light is (mathematically, what the model says it is), I get a mix of "it's a wave but also a particle" and random things that dead physicists have said about light.

I honestly don't care if Einstein thought God doesn't play dice, or if someone way back when thought an atom was like plum pudding. I do want physical intuition, but I want it through clear and well-explained mathematics.

That is, when I'm in the mindset to actually learn physics. Hearing about the history is fine and dandy if I want entertaining stories.
It's a terrible "feature". Not only is it poorly documented (as noted) and redundant to common shell utilities (like nc), it's also implemented in a way that confusingly implies that it's part of the operating system. (And if your OS ever implemented a "real" /dev/tcp, I suspect that this Bash feature would make it inaccessible.)
I'll take the "borderline fascism" of protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens over the actual anarchy of allowing protesters to infringe upon those rights with impunity. Democracy isn't perfect, but anarchy is worse. Further, would your tune change if the protesters were right-wing? Would you support their right to block critical infrastructure (not to mention the violence that characterizes so many of these "protests") in defense of what they perceive as their rights?

> The only way to long run sustainability is central control of population with mandatory birth limits

This is demonstrably not true. Look at Japan and western Europe: declining population. Its a function of economic situation (no need for more than 1-3 children) and female reproductive choice. If we give that to the world, the population problem goes away. The mathematics of population dynamics work for animals, roughly, but the assumptions don't hold for humans because of the changes in behavior.
