As I explained in an other article here on HN, another meaning (and the most important one imo) is the one Einstein actually wrote about: the inertia of a particle depends on its energy.

The thing is, you don't read E = mc² but rather (as Einstein wrote in his surprisingly easy to understand 2-pages paper [0]), m = E / c². The direct interpretation of this formulation is that inertial mass is actually just a side effect of the energy of a particle. Put into a catchy phrase, mass is energy at rest.

Edit :

Note the understatement of the sentence before the last one: "It is not impossible that with bodies whose energy-content is variable to a high degree (e.g. with radium salts) the theory may be successfully put to the test."
>> he “allowed her” to call the app hers, given certain “circumstances”.

Is this the actual quote? It sounds as though we're meant to read more into it. The real author could well be a parent, but I guess we're meant to read that it's a suitor.
I'm not sure it is. I suspect it's intended as a genuine term of endearment and the author is oblivious to the negative connotation. Still unfortunate.

> such a question never occurred to him

This question is basically just "what's the verb for 'rain'?". The syntax is exactly what you'd expect.

As it happens, the word is very well documented ( http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%... ), but it's not obvious that your TA should have been reading about rain. You know the words you use frequently.

If you asked someone who specialized in the Eleusinian mysteries, which involved the command "rain!" given to the sky by the participants, they would have had no trouble telling you how to say "it's raining". If you asked someone who had been reading the Iliad, they'd be able to tell you all kinds of words for spears, fighting, armor, walls, and viscera, but rain might not come up as frequently.
In my experience, "sweetie" is a word older women use condescendingly towards younger men or women.
Honestly the fact that they include a system Python 2 is a huge pain. You can't add packages to it, and you shouldn't add another Python 2 interpreter to the PATH. You end up having to use virtualenv which is a stupid hack.
Because the latter requires more technical knowledge that he probably didn't have. He'd have to reverse engineer the machine code.
This is cool, but to put it in perspective, the Falcon Heavy (set to launch...tomorrow?) cost $90,000,000 with a 8,000 kg payload...this is about $5,000 / pound.

The Japanese one was $3,500,000 for 3 kg, or over $500,000 / pound.

My math kinda right? I'm ignoring that Elon's rocket is theoretically reusable 10+ times, so his number could be much lower.

Wow, I was always a bit skeptic about this from the beginning. Already after reading her medium article I was convinced there is something fishy going on.

Young women interested in programming rare enough, let her get some help, let her have all the praise, that's okay. In years to come she'll hopefully stick to the field and that's what is important. Not that she wrote 100% of her app.

> But after reading her blogpost, her stackoverflow/github history in an attempt to understand her struggles as a self-taught programmer; I figured that there was no struggle at all! Self taught programmers are full of numerous questions, but she didn’t seem to have any! Neither is there any progression of all the tasks she did.

This is just one of possible approaches. For example, I actively ask very rarely, the most you could find on SO would be upvotes to answers.

With this approach, the author would probably conclude I didn't write my weather watchfaces myself, as there are almost no public traces of me doing so. And yet.

>ETA--Having attended the Olympic Training Center around age 16, I can't tell you how depressing it was to see 20 and 30-something athletes living in the dorms there, striving for their moment of glory while everyone else was out having fun, working, starting families, etc. I look back at that as the moment I made a very conscious choice to focus on having a career. Olympic sports aren't pro sports, you aren't getting endorsement deals unless you're in one of the "popular" sports like swimming or downhill skiing.

I dunno. the unpopular sports always seemed more interesting to me. I'm imagining a bunch of 'sports nerds' hanging out together, People who aren't best in the world, but within the top 100 within their sport. All hanging out with other people who are just as obsessed with the same obscure sport, doing their thing without the constant public intrusion that would come with being that good at, say, baseball.

It sounds kinda neat, really. Although a lot of that, I imagine, is just that it would be pretty great to be in that kind of physical condition. I mean, I imagine everyone there was in the top ten thousand humans if you ordered us by physical fitness. You probably have a much better idea of what it is to be that fit than I do, and maybe it's not actually all that great... but from where I stand here in my late '30s, teetering on the edge of obesity, it sounds pretty great.
This reads a lot like an attack. Yes its clear they did not program their app 100% themselves. I fail to see how it's such a big deal. Especially one that requires posts on multiple platforms targeting her.

The other developers seem happy for her to take the credit, presumably as its good for marketing. Who is this really hurting?
I was reading right along happily through the article, then I hit 'sweetie'. That came out of nowhere.

I'm sure the author had a point they were trying to make, but it was completely lost on me with the condescending turn to 'sweetie'.
> but coding =! app development

That's a pretty funny typo from someone defending themselves against accusations of not knowing how to program.
I see where you're coming from but I think the point still stands. Making a fraud the poster child for a cause is worse than having no poster child at all.

In general I'm always very wary of "teenage prodigies" stories, they're very marketable but I think they're bad for everybody involved: on one hand the "prodigy" is on exhibit like some kind of circus freak and at this age is probably ill-prepared to deal with the attention, on the other the people he's supposed to inspire (kids his own age) just see a bar that's impossible to reach. You can't expect your average 16yo to write a high quality crypto tracker app regardless of gender. It's not inspiring, it's discouraging.
Riots generally don't help, but I can understand the sentiment if you have lost all hope in the political system. Beware though, you might be advocating for murder, property damage, more corruption and misery, in the hope of alleviating it.

Also be aware that most polical riots do not get organized as riots, rather they are political demonstrations which turn into riots. Also know that rioters in the state of rioting are not hoping for something better.

In the same way as a strike is the last resort and an indication that negotiations in business has failed, so a riot is a failure. Never want one.

I've always wanted to get into Latin, and my current plan is getting through "Lingua Latina"[1], a book written in Latin and heavily recommended by others.

I do wonder about a "global Latin community", though. My personal experience with Latin "speakers" has been tinged by an atmosphere of Elitism. Not just about knowing the language, but the whole curriculum of literature. A bit like when you're thrown into a club of people quoting Star Wars all the time, just a bit more high-falutin'. Comes with centuries of "classical education" being a hallmark of upper class schooling. Compare that with the basic concept of languages like Esperanto...

Creating Container Images with Ansible and Buildah
I think that's a fair point. I usually phrase it that way to avoid coming off too strong to people whose beliefs are unknown to me.

So to sum up, we agree that the concept of free will exists and is experienced, but it is just a mechanism that the brain uses to navigate and make decisions about a dynamic environment and not free will in the classical sense of having control over the decisions we make.

Honestly, after writing that out, I agree even more strongly with you! I think we should relegate the term "free will" to the classic definition and adopt Metzinger's vocabulary for the new metaphysical concepts. Then it's very simple, there is no free will, but there is a Phenomenal Self Model that the brain relies on which can be conflated with classical free will.

I will endeavor to be more clear in the future. Thanks!
I think we're of a similar mind.

Voice recognition and very simple NLP have gotten good pretty fast, and is still improving fast. That's necessary but not sufficient for a good UI.

The interaction model just isn't good enough yet. We probably need a podcatcher app to be built for voice-first, in order to discover the right UI.
How do these types of projects get around the fact that the new source code is clearly a derived work of the old game? I’m not saying they copied code, but they must be copying the design or the game would be a different game.

I have to say, I found the "story" very leading. A lot of inconclusive evidence labelled a lot stronger than it deserves, especially the "confession".

The reality of a lot of app development now is that you can go a long way by not doing very much. Ok, so the git graph shows another developer committed many more lines: since when have we, as an industry, taken KLOC as a serious measure of anything?? Those lines of code could well be XML UI structures or a bunch of config spat out from an IDE.

Is she an amazing developer? No, she admits as much - she claims 10k lines of code, a bunch of which may have been StackOverflow'd, and she doesn't claim experience. She says she has trouble with Python.

Such a big deal over such a minor thing.

>But under the laws of special relativity, mass simply couldn’t be the ultimate conserved quantity, since different observers would disagree about what the energy of a system was.

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but not only does classical mechanics already tell us that the energy of a system different for different for observers, but this by itself doesn't mean it's not conserved, merely that it's not a universal quantity.

Furthermore E = mc^2 doesn't break conservation of mass in any way, it's more accurate to say that it equates energy with mass, meaning conservation of energy and conservation of mass are one and the same. And in fact both still hold, when the energy and mass are replaced with their relativistic counterparts (E = mc^2 is obviously false using the classical notions of mass and energy).

So could be the word 'Geek', only to put smart people in their place, that didn't stop you from using it as a badge of honor in your nickname. So maybe you shouldn't blanket-accuse everyone of being a misogynist based on some hypothetical male character that you made up to fit some preconceived narrative of sexism, because that is in fact the true sexism here. There are plenty of people who use the word 'sweetie' endearingly, there is nothing wrong with that.

But we don't all understand the same thing from language that doesn't closely follow our agreed rules of language structure. Specifically in our example, not everyone will understand what the mangled translation of my text says.

So this is something to wonder about: why is it that we all speak in a certain way? If we can understand language with unfamiliar structure, why does language follow set patterns? Why don't we all speak any old way we like?

Mind you, I'm not saying I have any answer to this. Because it's actually a major question. You could, for example, observe that people will often break from accepted conventions when speaking or writing and it's hard to even measure the deviation from accepted conventions "in the wild" (as opposed to more formal text or speech). And yet there does seem to be a set of patterns of utterances that we observe when speaking or writing in our respective languages. There are rules, in language, and these rules are observed. Why is that?

Understanding the answer to this question -what makes language, language, rather than random noise- could tremendously boost NLP tasks of all sorts. To be honest, I don't see anyone asking it though. Instead people have become comfortable with the paradox of the random noise (sorry, I insist) generated by computer programs, and treat it as an engineering problem to be solved, rather than an opportunity to understand human language by looking at its difference to machine language (if I may).

>> (please, don't ask anything that starts with "how do you know...?". I know. Let's drop that angle, please!)

I understand if you don't want to spend time discussing this, but I hope you understand that, unless you justify your thinking, you can't expect anyone else to agree with it.

In any case, "how do you know" is the fundamental question you have to ask if you want to advance your knowledge. That's how it all begins- by challengine assumptions (yours or others').
Yes, it is not immediately obvious how mass ought to be undershood in the context of relativity. First attempts treated mass as a directed vector, with transverse and longitudinal components for an accelerated particle (now we would say that the mass is fixed, it is the momentum that changes non-linearly and just use F=dp/dt).

Mass should rightly be considered more inherent in SR that energy. Energy in relativity is coordinate dependent, but mass is not: all observers agree on a system’s mass, because it is invariant.

Re: the last paragraph, yes you can project the four vector onto time and space, and you get energy and momentum respectively. So energy is not the four vector itself but its projection onto the time axis (and mass is of course its magnitude).

I've also had issues with Apple-products (iTunes) erasing the MP3-metadata for my entire collection in the past.

It had taken me ages to build up in the first place and fixing it afterwards was a painstaking manual labour which took weeks and weeks and weeks.

I really, really, really won't let Apple touch my music-files ever. So much wasted time....

Sort of. However, at that level, if you're in the middle of a game and aren't on track to getting a high score, you're probably going to abandon the game and try again from the beginning. Therefore there'll be a fairly high number of games, a sizeable proportion of which are abandoned.

It's like when speedrunners attempt to complete games in the fastest time. If they make a mistake at any point in the game that will cost them a lot of time, they will most likely abandon the game and keep trying until they are able to complete the game without making any costly mistakes.
