I didn't even know that there was an adaptation of Dan Simmons' Hyperion, and now I find out that it apparently isn't worth watching.

Kinda sad, but one can still hope. As another comment said, it's nice to see more series that don't use the Star[...] IP that we are used to, but instead focuses on incredible books like Ringworld (or, to a lesser extent, Snow Crash).

I'd also love to see more Heinlein and Ursula K Le Guin, but I understand that not everything that makes a great book also makes a great movie / series.

But do the devices have adequate antenna for FM band? Especially the newer phones without traditional headphone connector (headphone wire cannot be used as antenna). AFAIK you cannot easily have effective FM antenna inside the device because FM wavelength is relatively long.

Although, there have been many cases where results from Pure Mathematics have found to elegantly describe phenomena in Physics, often years after the initial result which might have been regarded as the equivalent of "angels dancing on a pinhead" by physicists of the time.
Oddly, I found the RNNoise suppression more distracting than the less sophisticated Speex suppressor. If you'll forgive the figurative language; compared with the noisy tracks, speex de-emphasises the noise into a quieter but smoother robotic 'bokeh', which allowed me to concentrate on the main speakers.

RNNoise on the other hand seemed to detect silences well, but left artifacts in the speech such that it had a choppy and artificial feel. Lacking the smoothness in the background I found I was more distracted by the distortions in the words.

I'm sure it does. You're a product of the Enlightenment and when you read you read the Bible you interpret it as a product of the Enlightenment.

If you want to actually understand what the Bible was trying to communicate you need to remember who the Bible was written by and who it was written for. A Bronze-age Middle-Easterners is going to get a very different message from the Bible than you are.

We have a concept here in Denmark, which directly translated would be "total contractor", which is a person who manages all the different contractors, schedules when they show up and do their work, handles any problems that arise during the project, and all the billing goes through him, so you get a single invoice at the end. I imagine every country has a similar concept, I'm just not aware of the name in English.
I like your point about needing to localise yourself in the wavefunction to make sense of your experience. That's true and how to do so is less obvious in pure unitary dynamics. I think the essential issue is that Bohm's theory makes a distinction between "actual" things and "real" things. But if you drop that philosophical distinction then it's clear that the wave-function and all points on it must exist, because otherwise they couldn't influence you.

Those points near you will flow through the universe in a similar way and have the same interactions with nearby points. So yes, the point particle is a useful visual aid, but it doesn't work if the other points on the wave don't exist too.

Your other arguments about 3D space and definite outcomes are weaker. 3D space emerges from the structure of entanglement and the "feeling" of definite outcomes is caused by decoherence. In pure wave mechanics the spacetime locality of interactions is also apparent, while in dBB they are necessarily non-local. Since spacetime is all about locality, the picture in pure wave mechanics is superior.
I thought that was a very well written whitepaper: clearly explains the problem, why it needs solving, what their solution is and why it's a good solution.

Or, she could respect the fact that it doesn't matter for him which restaurant they go to.

No, it doesn't. And if that's what she feels, it's her problem. He doesn't see the difference between A or B. He may say something like "A is closer" or "B is cheaper", but maybe that's all he cares about. She sees differences he doesn't, so why should he be burdened? My girlfriend relies on me to buy electronics. I rely on her to buy healthy food. If she wants my input she asks. If I reply with "I don't care", she just picks something in two seconds. We never argue about it.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but if you care much more about trivialities than your partner, and you expect the other person to change or to exert extra effort just to match your expectations, then you're simply not a good match for each other and things will never work out the way you expect.

Choosing between restaurant A or B when the other person doesn't care or see a difference is something you do FOR YOURSELF. If you expect the other person to make this choice for you, you're asking for a favor.

Pitch to Ravi Belani, Alchemist Acc, Igniter Conf Oct 29 Computer History Museum
Maybe. Rockets can actually fly through a variety of rough weather conditions. Indeed, they can even survive being struck by lightning (as Apollo 12 was). However, they are not, as a rule, designed to do so. And because they are multi-million dollar equipment that are only used once before being discarded it's easier to simply avoid launching in weather that might be too severe.

However, in practice a rocket could be designed to fly in much more severe weather than is allowed for most launches today, it just takes designing it to do so. Because of the huge cost of rockets today designing a rocket to fly through adverse weather would add additional additional manufacturing cost onto each launch, which is not a good tradeoff. But if you can ammortize that over many flights, then it's not a big deal.

Think about ICBMs and SLBMs. Do you think there is someone sitting in a Minuteman bunker looking at the weather, ready to tell the launch officers just after they've turned their keys "sorry fellas, I've overriden your orders, we can't launch today, the weather is too crummy, oh well, better wait until tomorrow, if there is one"? No, missiles are designed to launch on a moment's notice, and be capable of successfully hitting their targets even if the local weather is terrible. Their designed to be able to launch through thunderstorms and experience only a small percentage of losses in the most unusual conditions. Similarly, any orbital rocket can be designed to be able to launch through most typical severe weather events, with only a small percentage of conditions (compared to today) requiring a scrub because it would endanger mission success.

The degree to which SpaceX will do such a thing is unknown, but it's within the realm of possibility.

Also, it should be noted that a major reason weather has a historical role in disrupting launches is because one of the best locations for launches in the US (Florida: Easterly coast, as close to the equator as possible) is also one of the few places on Earth with the most thunderstorm activity (roughly one out of five days in Florida has a thunderstorm). The vast majority of other locations on Earth don't experience nearly the same level of launch-risk inducing severe weather.
Genuine question, because I know little to nothing about SDR: Even with SDR, don't you need an antenna that fits the wavelength? WiFi and cellular frequencies are far from FM frequencies. And I think most other phones use the headphones as antenna, rather than inbuilt antennas.
Yep, aka the basic, but always true "guns vs butter" lesson.

You have a lot of huge, real-wold (industrial) examples on the website of the SAT 2017 competition. Be careful, however, these files are really huge (zip files in Gbytes) and the CNF files come "as is", i.e with no explanation about the underlying problem: https://baldur.iti.kit.edu/sat-competition-2017/benchmarks/

Classical one-player puzzles can be represented easily, and I'll include a tutorial and generators for those in the short run: sudoku and 8 queens, for instance. There's an article explaining how to represent the sudoku problem here : http://sat.inesc.pt/~ines/publications/aimath06.pdf (section 3).

As for pathological problems: the usual testcase for SAT solvers are random problems. They can be generated easily (I'll probably include a generator for them in the repository). You choose a number of variables , n (around n=300 things start to get interesting) and randomly generate n x 4.2 clauses (this is a sweet spot: less clauses and the problem tends to be easily solved, more clauses and it becomes easy to prove it cannot be solved). Those clauses must contain 3 literals, chosen randomly. Those problems are very hard to solve, even with a relatively small number of variables and clauses. But they are not that interesting in practice, because real-world problems are very different, they more structured and easier to solve.

Lack of an intuitive and really good live help system is my main quirk with all editors, including Emacs. Of course, they all have some included help systems, but they tend to be slow to load (the worst!) or kind of cumbersome. I don't particularly like Emacs help system, for example. It shows you generic documents and it takes too much time to look things up.

If you're writing an editor and want to include a special feature, please consider an online help system that

-- allows you to view help about the mode and keyboard settings immediately by one keypress - with absolutely zero delay, at any time and ideally fullscreen - and return to exactly where you were before you looked up the documentation

-- optionally shows you continuous online help during your editing (like e.g. the contextually most important keybindings while you're editing)

But you have to teach altruism, cooperation and the valuing of other people. And you teach it by (gently and respectfully) disincentivizing the opposing behaviors.

It's not "be helpful or be punished" it's "don't pour your cereal on your brothers head or you will get time out", "don't wake your brother when he's sleeping or you will get time out" "stop biting your bother or you will get time out", "no you cannot wear your new shoes in the mud and if you don't stop asking and complaining you will get time out". These are the bread-and-butter conversations of parenting.

Like it or not, you will be a valid authority in your child's life, and you will need to teach compliance with proper authority, and model how to be one, and that there are consequences to the defiance of proper authority.

Worst news I've read in a long time. All series produced by Amazon based on books or comics I love have been a huge disappointment: The man in the high castle, preacher, American Gods...

You can watch a whole season and what happened? Basically nothing. They stretch and stretch a couple of plots and that's it. My friends says that's ok, they create a specific atmosphere/mood with that...bullshit, it's just like when you get a present and you're actually more exicited about unwrapping that fancy colourful wrap that in the content.

At least HBO (Game of Thrones) or Netflix (The expanse) tend to be more faithful to the content and things happen at a reasonable pace

Look I like low power devices. Anyway, the base station does not say interpret voice data from a radio and then decode that to make a call. You have an actual touch pad to use to dial so it handles the dialing part of making skype calls. But yea it's not in any way running skype, but that's > pure radio functionality thus what I said is literally true.

There are a ton of things this device does that are cheesy, because they are trying to push the limits on low power. But they could have jacked up the received power by 30x and fooled most people reading, but they actually did create something novel by pushing almost all functionality to the base station.

It the use case is IMO not general calls it's more like a limited call 911 when battery is dead mode that could still be useful.

It's not even about the latency issue, in most cases.

Today the biggest problem with, specifically, trans-pacific flights is that you burn an entire day in travel, both ways. That means if you want to take a weekend to go somewhere, you can't, because 2 days minus 2 days is zero days, you have no time to actually spend doing anything. And that's aside from the recovery time of that much air travel. Short duration trips are then only reasonable if you can cram in some very high priority activity, which is very limiting. For shorter trip times it becomes feasible to squeeze in short trips on a more regular basis. I had a coworker who lived in the Seattle area and flew down to LA every weekend to visit his wife for several months. That's only feasible if you can cram travel into Friday/Sunday evenings. That sort of thing will become possible with a service like BFREE.

Most importantly, you don't burn entire days in travel, you simply add travel as a component into those days. These flights are expected to be in the $10k range, so basically anyone who makes more than about $4m a year will have a straight up logical cost/benefit reason to use BFREE for long distance flights instead of air travel, because it means they get the majority of that whole day back, instead of burning it flying.
I have no idea whether this library is good or not, but being a "C++ standard extension", whatever that means, is not a requirement for getting into boost.

Very ignorant comment. Many people work across multiple machines (hundreds) which they do not own and cannot spend time "setting up" on each one.

Jodorowsky saw himself more as a God than a Director, IMO.

Well for quality furniture 10x the price of IKEA is not really obscene (depends on which price point of IKEA you're talking about - there are some more "high-end-ish" things there).

But in furniture you get what you pay for - but it has to work with your life (if you are changing your place to live every year or so I don't see the point in buying expensive furniture).

If you stay in one place (or at least are planning to do so) quality furniture which matches your rooms is great (at least for me).
