I mean that the physicists have accounted for the limited amount of information available and still conclude that the observable universe is not a fractal.

I remember thinking about this in 2011/2012 when it wasn't known (IIRC there was a bet over a bottle of wine between two physicists over this matter). But years later, because a satellite "zoomed out" far enough and sent images back to earth, physicists confirmed that it is very likely that the observable universe is not a fractal (i.e. it's Hausdorff-Besikovitch dimension, which is calculated from measurements, is fractional).

>It does if the argument is being made in absolutes

Casual talk is not dealing in absolutes. We're not speaking in theorems and axioms. Even if someone says "people are idiots" they don't mean "X, for every X where X a person, is an idiot".

Note how they didn't even say "all porn": just "porn objectifies women". In casual speak even saying "all X does Y" is not necessarily intended to convey "absolutely all X". Just saying "X does Y" even less so.

>You could say "some porn objectifies women", or even "most porn targeted at straight men objectifies women", but making the claim that porn in general objectifies women is patently false.

No, it's perfectly OK (if a little beyond the point, see my other answer).

Here's how to read the phrase of the parent in casual conversation:

Porn objectifies women (when there are women in it -- DUH!). Most porn, that is -- some special snowflake outlier porn with women in it might not objectify them, and that's ok (DUH!). I'm talking about what generally happens, and what people actually get to see most of the time when they watch porn, not what some Peruvian feminist porn might show (DUH!). I also know there's animal porn, which obviously doesn't objectify women (DUH!)

In general, if how one interprets a conversational statement can be taken down by the addition of a few "DUH!", then probably this is not the interpretation intended by the original speaker. That's the "principle of charity".

Between having sex only if you intent to marry her and having sex without even kissing her once there is a whole world of difference. I don't know about you, but I can't have sex without kissing my partner, even if it's a one night stand. I mean come on, women aren't just objects of pleasure. They're human beings. What's wrong in treating them like so? Does it degrade the whole experience? I think not, quite the opposite. Treat women with respect. And then go and have sex as bizarre as you like or whatever.

In porn women are just objects. Or at least, in the mainstream str8 porn.
And I work remotely. I rarely step foot in California, yet I should pay for California’s roads, schools, welfare programs, police, fire? The company for which I work already pays massive corporate taxes to the state so their “impact” and consumption of government is more than paid for.

When I do travel to California, I already get to pay high hotel taxes, rental car taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes. That covers my “share.”

Really states ought to abolish income taxes; Texas and Washington State and many others seem to be doing just fine. The idea of taxing income is already ridiculous — we should be taxing consumption, but that’s another discussion.

I'm aware that I'm likely coming across as curmudgeonly.

My other half is a science educator, so I'm also very aware of the problems of getting kids (or even adults) excited about science.

On the other hand, I don't like the pseudo-science cruft the media and our society is full of, and I suspect there's some vague links between misrepresenting what the scientific method actually looks like, and people taking advantage of that growing murkiness.

I'm not questioning the credentials of these guys. Just the validity of this ersatz experiment.

> ... gotten some sensor experts to see if they could quantify the "stillness" of the water, etc.

They did have some archetypal (glasses-wearing) geek do a quick sound bite towards the beginning describing the effect being observed at small scales as 'bunk', but that's all we get from that side of the argument.

Interestingly in the video you can clearly see there's direct sunlight hitting one side of the indoor pool, and parts of the outdoor one. And during the time lapse section of the video, you can see surface debris on the indoor pool swirling around.

If the Coriolis effect worked at this scale, then you'd see consistent circular motion of water in these sized tubs even without emptying.

An Update on DVR Malware: A DVR Torture Chamber
Yeah, same here. And it's not just about programming too. Doing something 'live' with an audience requires a very different mindset than doing it at your own pace. I even struggle to play a video game as well as normal when it feels there's a crowd watching.

That said, I do worry that we'll see a rise in clueless managers and HR departments that don't understand this (and think it's some magical way to determine someone's level of skill). That could lead to even more situations where being extraverted is seemingly more valued than actually being good at the job.

> Honestly PEDs should be legal and regulated in athletics

Well, it is regulated. What is not regulated is that for example steroids permanently modify the amount of myonuclei so that a steroid user will have better long term recovery (rebuilding from reduced muscle state) for decades after usage. Or take EPO: the effect of using EPO is the same as using a compression chamber and has the same dangers (arguably, using EPO is safer than subjecting your body to a outdated compression chamber sourced from the landfill), yet one is allowed and one is forbidden. Then there's steroid usage after injuries (why do teams have a dedicated physician? so he can give people steroids if they stub their little toe).

You can either forbid (on paper) or completely deregulate; "some" regulation will not change very much vs. prohibition.

I think you named the ones I used a few years ago. cx_freeze and py2exe both had issues. I was using 2.7 at the time, and I managed to get something deployable that didn't require installing system libs, but wasn't a single file either.

Python is my goto language for fast development, but it's always felt a little clunky in windows. You may also need to consider gui issues. we ended up using pyqt, and it didn't quite feel like a windows app either.

You may want to consider, and I hate to say this, javascript for your language. The app we built had pdf libs we needed in python and not in javascript so a browser based solution wasn't available to us at the time. But being able to host the app is generally considered the easiest way to get cross platform these days.

- In 1991 4th Brigade was kept afloat in the Gulf, forcing the Iraqi army to devote resources to protecting beaches in and around Kuwait, and away from the border where the actual assault took place. Then they snuck the brigade ashore and added them to the striking power across the border.

Absent the ability to assault across a beach, those Iraqi divisions would have been on the border.

It comes with an Android compatibility layer, which I imagine is similar to running Android without Play Services.

I've tried that in the past, and it worked quite well. There are a lot of good apps on F-Droid, then you can get access to others through APKMirror, or methods of downloading from the Play Store. Of those, I'd say about half work without complaint (including Whatsapp), a quarter complain and still work, and a quarter don't work. I also used (and still use) a few web apps for things like weather.

But maybe for all of us there is something about what the Germans did that pleases and excites us-something that opens the catacombs of the imagination. Maybe part of our dread and horror comes from a secret knowledge that under the right-or wrong-set of circumstances, we ourselves would be willing to build such places and staff them. Black serendipity. Maybe we know that under the right set of circumstances the things that live in the catacombs would be glad to crawl out And what do you think they would look like?

It can do, it depends on context. When a statement is ambiguous, you have to infer meaning from context.

It probably does well when translating general human speech, but I was rather interested in its performance on a paragraph of a scientific text (it being a much more challenging task, obviously).

* "The impact of the solar wind protons on the surface of Mercury" became "Der Einfluss der solaren Windprotonen auf die Oberfläche von Quecksilber".
Note that 'solar wind protons' should have been translated as 'Sonnenwindprotonen' instead, i.e. the word 'solar' was to be a part of the noun's modifier, but it was pushed out.

* The lack of domain-specific training is especially obvious with the case of the planet's name being translated as "Quecksilber" instead of "Merkur" (Quecksilber being the name of the metal).

* "pure northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF)" became "reines interplanetares interplanetares Magnetfeld nach Norden (IWF)". Aside from this being a poor translation, it's worth noting that DeepL didn't properly process the introduction of an abbreviation (IWF being the abbrev. for the International Monetary Fund in German).

Ask HN: What to do when a lazy programmer is ruining the teams motivation
Hi,
So theres this programmer at work that hardly does any work at all. He spends most of his time surfing the net and watching videos. His attitude is affecting his teams motivation as they under pressure to deliver, and they end up doing most of the work while he surfs the net. The thing is. They extremely upset, but also feel like they cannot approach management and tell on him as they feel bad about that. Management hasn't noticed his lack of work cause he bullshits his way in stand up and about his task deadlines.

What would you recommend them do in order to either get him off the team or start pulling his socks?
Realistically, those who have a chance to get out for a better life do get out. But KJU just makes sure that his coalition is treated well (at least compared to what their alternative would be) and that any betrayal of any kind is swiftly and brutally dealt with.

If you wanted to make music that has no audio you record yourself (all software +/ existing audio) you need a DAW.

There are many available the most popular for electronic music atm are:
- Ableton Live
- Logic Pro
- FL Studio
- Reason
- Cubase

Agreed, I can't know from first principles if the right shift length is 4 or 8 or 30. I'm sympathetic to your suggestion that it would be a surprising coincidence if doctors landed on the perfect number through historical accident.

It probably varies by specialty and even individuals, probably a monster of a problem.
UK experience here. All military units (including ships) experience staffing ‘churn’ as individuals join and leave for career and other reasons. Some military units are periodically completely reset (e.g. a new ship or a ship that has been extensive refitted), and they then have extensive training regimes to become ready for operations again. The churn then starts again. Some units persist for long periods of time (e.g. a formed air squadron) and do not get ‘reset’ under usual circumstances, although they do have churn. Others (e.g. army formations) have repeating multi-year cycles of training, being ready for ops, and other tasks.

The institutional memory is notionally preserved by the instructors in the schools and training centres (as well as documented Standard Operating Procedures, standing orders, etc). New joiners will have undergone standardized training, and although they still have to establish their role (storming, forming, norming, etc) when they join an existing team, they do in principle understand what they are supposed to be doing. In some cases, new joiners bring valuable new knowledge, skills or attitudes, so churn isn’t always bad. Individuals who have joined up for the long term will themselves have cyclic periods of training, with initial trade training followed by time in a unit, then additional specialised training at a school, then more operational tours, etc. Some highly-trained individuals may be embedded in the units themselves (e.g. at a barracks) to provide standardized, decentralised on-the-job training / supervision to newbies who have joined from a military trade school.
