The DSKY was a demo.

“The DSKY and PINBALL (something flashy with buttons) was a demo.
And that demo got us to the moon.
"Apparently, nobody had yet arrived at any kind of software requirements for the AGC's user interface when the desire arose within the Instrumentation Laboratory to set up a demo guidance-computer unit with which to impress visitors to the lab. Of course, this demo would have to do something, if it was going to be at all impressive, and to do something it would need some software. In short order, some of the coders threw together a demo program, inventing and using the verb/noun user-interface concept, but without any idea that the verb/noun concept would somehow survive into the flight software. As time passed, and more and more people became familiar with the demo, nobody got around to inventing an improvement for the user interface, so the coders simply built it into the flight software without any specific requirements to do so."

I tried to contribute something about a month ago and went through the same issues. I could hardly find my way around the complex submission/review system and when I did manage it my article was rejected for not having enough references when . I eventually gave up because I listed every reference that exists on the topic.

When Google takes the approach you want, they are vilified for "letting third parties access your data" - as in the Gmail "scandal" a few months ago.

If you let users do whatever they want, they will often shoot themselves in the foot. It's a tough balance.

I get what you were trying to say, but you used the wrong signpost. The web remained a relatively civil place until the mid-00s; there were trolls and astroturfers, but they were mostly contained. The real culture shift happened with social networks and mobile, in the late ‘00s, when even people who couldn’t operate a desktop started to be online 24/7.

When the statistics back it up?

Yes, it's possible for the rich to get richer while the poor also get richer. It's also possible for the rich to get richer by taking all the economic gains for themselves, leaving the poor to stagnate or to get poorer.

Over the past 40 years the bottom half of the economy in the US has seen zero growth. This despite massive growth overall. This despite rising house prices, growing student loan debt, etc. The rich have gotten richer and the poor and the middle class have been edged out. It doesn't have to be this way, but it is.

Why? Because of wage suppression, union busting, wage theft, predatory and usurious student loans, corporate welfare, tax cuts for the wealthy, and on and on and on.
I don't think this is a good solution. They would be going from metaphorically "selling" user data via ads to literally selling user data.

1)
RTX is meant to be linked to "raytracing".

2a)
Raytracing in general computes a scene by computing how photons are affected by matter - e.g. a full reflection by an absolutely smooth non-absorbing surface or a partial reflection&path_divergence done by liquids, etc... .

2b)
In the simulation, the photon that "bounces off" a surface is then "rebounced" by another surface and so on, and this creates a picture similar to the one we use to see in the real world.

3)
RTX maybe cuts the whole "rebouncing" and generation of photons a bit short, meaning that there isn't really any new next-gen technology but it's just a bit more processing power that is available to do some additional parallel short/semi-pure raytracing stuff, but which does not work when your scene is complex and it does need many reflections "rebounded" many times.

Again: this is just my initial understanding.

It doesn't have to be paid to write - but you have to pay to view the reviews just like you'd have to pay to read a magazine.
Voting magnifies the impact of the individual. Consider the impact on the climate of 40,000 people completely eliminating their CO2 emissions. The difference would be impossible to measure, even if it was the top 40,000 emitters on the planet. Maybe you'd push back the time to hit 2 degrees of warming by a day or something.

Now consider the impact of the right 40,000 people voting differently in the 2016 US Presidential elections. All sorts of things would look very different, including action being taken to fight climate change.

One person can make a difference, by influencing others. But you have to be smart about it. You can't just decide to fly less, and then declare that you're making a difference because one person can make a difference.
So you're getting down voted, but I totally agree. I too used to disable javascript using NoScript every where until it was a site that I was okay with. I played the game of only allowing javascript from the same domain, and then looking at the remaining scripts the site wanted to request. CDNs for jQuery, FontAwesome, etc, started to get whitelisted. Anything else, nope. If the site didn't work after that, then the tab was closed. After allowing NoScript to run javascript, I would then lean on uBlock to block the trackers etc that were loaded by anything I missed. It's amazing how difficult surfing the web like this was.

As I said, I don’t agree with either their methods or their goals. It’s because I don’t want these kinds of laws in the world that I want to see shallow dismissals of them replaced by effective arguments. No one here needs convincing, what they need is to improve their ability to communicate beyond the tech bubble.
I'll speculate that NRO and similar agencies have such software. Doubt it's OSS, tho'.
Five miles off the end of the runway a landing plane is only ~1,500ft above the ground. That's higher than the legal ceiling for drones, but it's certainly well within their technical capabilities.
And also to scrub existing articles of certain details.

A former coworker once told me about a stint he did working for a company that sold wikipedia edits. The founder was Brazilian and apparently their company was super popular with Central and South American politicians trying to scrub their pages of various financial scandals and other things unbecoming of a politician.

I was shocked when he first told me about it, but it's pretty easy to see in 2019 that managing one's image online can be incredibly lucrative.
Im woefully qualified to answer any AI related questions, but I must ask, why do you think forcing bots to send messages to each other at a constant interval would lead to the development of simple language and encourage bots to be more aware of each other? If you reward the behavior of writing in chat, bots would start writing gibberish in chat all the time.

Communication in animals can be traced all the way back to cells sending each other messages to organize themselves. Cells began to have division of labor and work together, and as multicellular organisms increased in complexity, so did the complexity in their communication. But what would happen if you put these cells in charge of playing Dota and force it to send each other messages? Would the cells somehow develop a simple language built around intentions? Or does it still not understand the concept of intention?

Video games like Dota are extremely complicated and made specifically for human biases. We've obtained these biases over many many many generations of evolution. Machines are getting better at doing human tasks, but they still do not possess all the human biases (and I think it'd be quite scary if we actually get there). That's why these bots/algorithms/AIs can do simple tasks like identifying objects really well but they don't know what to do with them, yet.

Having machines engage in meaningful conversations with other machines and plan together is a much bigger problem to solve than having them farm up, buy items, and attack things.
The drone was reported over Teterboro at around 3,500ft. One of the ILS approaches into Newark[1] has Teterboro as an initial fix, with a minimum crossing altitude of 3,000ft. That puts the drone exactly where aircraft inbound on that approach will be.

With some redirection magic it can be made to, but I find that magic is always too much stuffing around to make it useful. Inside scripts though I like to pipe to vim and have it output to a file:

pipeline | vim - +"file $mytempfile"

Then if you quit vim without saving $mytempfile won't exist, if you save and quit it will and further processing can be done. I've got a view scripts like this to to things like viewing csv files after being piped through column, after saving they're converted back to csv.

How did the 1403 start & stop the paper advance? Once the paper gets moving, there's a lot of inertia there. Was there an air bladder in the hydraulic line to absorb fluid-hammer from the rapid pressure changes?

One of the printers I worked on in the USAF had electromagnetic clutches - one would engage to hold the paper in place while the other would open to disengage the drive belt. To move the paper, the "hold" clutch would disengage and the "drive" clutch would engage for just long enough to move it the required distance. And then the clutch action would reverse (hold clutch engage, drive clutch release) to stop the paper's motion.

After a while, the clutch material would wear out and you would get the infinite form-feed.

Ugh. This is a priceless example of the kind of quackery that puts us in turing tarpits by trying to extricate us from turing tarpits.

If you ever hear phrases like “pure functional” or “object oriented” or “semantic web” or “restful uris” or “inversion of control” or “impedance mismatch” just run away.

Case in point: Noble Gases.

Okay?

Listen. They’re gases. Unrefridgerated? Contained in pressure vessels? In a laboratory setting? They are gases.

This is where you see the rubber leave the road. He has never worked with gases. Doesn’t think about them as gases. Wants to lead you down a rabbit hole of plasma bound by cosmological gravitation, cryogenic dewar flasks, rocket ships, tokamaks, and anything else to light your imagination on fire and lead you over the precipice and into a holy war that need not be fought.

The periodic table is indeed periodic. It’s stable now, but it does change. We knew noble gases were special, before we knew about valence electrons, orbitals, the UV catastrophy and so on.

So when he says that helium should not be classified as a gas, he’s wrong, because that fact is a useful means of reflecting upon the manner of discovery for that class of elements, which indeed was one of THE KEYS, that unlocks the very idea of chemical bonds, be they covalent, ionic, hydrogen or otherwise.

Do call noble gases, gases.

Yeah it definitely depended on your friends circle.

The vast majority of the people I knew didn't actually use LJ. But, I was a member of a few online communities, and I had plenty of friends (and friends-of-friends) from those places that were also on LJ.

I'm glad most of my IRL (I find myself nostalgic for this outdated term) friends weren't on LJ. I'd have felt much less inclined to be honest and open -- it would have wound up being like FB today, which has a certain practical value (it's a point of contact, a convenient way to plan events, etc) but really doesn't lend itself to introspection or anything.
I am not a fan of DNS over HTTPs for similar reasons too.

LJ had a much more pleasant culture in terms of interacting with strangers.

I agree, and even when strangers were nasty there were less of them. It was manageable. I mean, sure, sometimes there were trolls or whatever. But it wasn't like social media today where there can be absolute deluges of bad-faith interaction.

While this may be true, I have found with my own son's that the number one most popular soccer skills test (MacDonald test, 1960) is also a good indication of soccer skills and you can train for it. It's a good adjunct to regular participation in a recreational soccer program. My sons achieved competitive A and B league performance (nerd kids, sons of a PhD computer scientists).
>"The path of a meteor is only going to be deterministic on a timescale given roughly by the largest Lyapunov exponent associated with its orbit. On longer timescales, even the very tiny irreducible quantum uncertainty in its initial state would be enough to cause it to miss the Moon."

My understanding is that chaotic systems are still deterministic, the state at some later time is just very sensitive to the initial conditions (which it may be impossible to know with much precision). "Irreducible quantum uncertainty" is something else that has nothing to do with Lyapunov time.

I also see Lyapunov died in 1918,[1] while the uncertainty principle was introduced in 1927.[2]

As a pilot, I would. Most of the bug smashers I rent will be flying around 90-120 nautical miles per hour, so 5 miles out puts you 2-3 minutes from the field. Within one minute or so you better be setting up for landings, usually dropping to 1000' AGL thereabouts. A fair bit of traffic in a 5 mile zone when towered.
> Powershell pipes are an extension over Unix pipes. Rather than just being able to pipe a stream of bytes, powershell can pipe a stream of objects.

Unix pipes can pipe objects, binary data, text, json encoded data, etc.

The problem is it adds a lot of complication and simply doesn't offer much in practice, so text is still widely used and binary data in a few specific cases.
That was my impression as well but I could never get anything going on Tumblr.

It seemed essentially worthless to bother posting any original content there because it just got swallowed up in an absolute ocean of reblogs which, of course, was pretty much the entire point of that place.

I'm sure part of this was due to having a smaller circle of friends on Tumblr than I had on LJ, but it was difficult for me to see how anybody could have any sort of "community" experience on Tumblr. It seems some did though!

I watched Cannibal Holocaust not long ago. Actually a pretty good movie, not dumb. The very first 'found footage' movie apparently. Features anthropologists behaving badly and later being torn apart and eaten by the natives. The director was charged with the actors' murders, but it turned out they'd just signed a deal to disappear for a year after filming. Brilliant marketing I guess.

I mention that because it features an extremely graphic and lengthy sequence of a turtle being killed, shell removed, cut open etc. Very colourful insides, you can almost smell it. I felt sick from that point on.. [I watched the director's cut]
May throttle doesn't necessarily mean "will throttle." The company is giving itself the latitude not to throttle, or to not throttle exactly at the data cap.
