Not only that, but even humans with our actual GI, can only come up with theories and hypotheses that may or may not reflect reality. This is why scientists have to do experiments, to establish empirical evidence that they are right (or possibly more often, that they are not right).

Well the owner should have thought about that before they decided to plan on commuting with it.

Don't get me wrong, whether you commute on a motorcycle (in the west, obviously, tons of people commute on motorcycles and mopeds in the east) or use an MBP as you work laptop it will work most of the time, maybe all the time depending on how you treat it and there may be some rewards to it depending on your specific situation. However, the trade-off is there's some edge cases (particularly ones involving moisture) that will hit you harder if you do this and that trade-off is why most people elect to do something more traditional.
> This is a common error. Macroscopic "everyday" objects don't have a definite position and momentum. Macroscopic objects are quantum objects. But when the mass is big enough, the position and momentum can be defined simultaneously with an error that is so small that you can just ignore the uncertainty and approximate them as classical objects.

To put this into simpler terms:

Whenever we measure something, we need to throw something at it and then have that something rebound and hit us again.
In most experiments, we throw photons and have them rebound into our eyes.

Throwing a photon against a "classical object" - a chair, a ladder, bacteria - is like throwing a tennis ball against a skyscraper. You throwing that does not have no effect at all, but it's very much negligible.

But when trying to measure quanta, you're now throwing your tennis ball at a football, or at another tennis ball. You're gonna be lucky, if it rebounds at all, instead of just pushing the object that you're trying to measure out of the way. (You also don't have any smaller balls to throw.)

That's why when you measure something in quantum physics, you only know that it has this exact value in the moment that you measure it. It's going to be pushed away because you threw something at it, so after your measurement it has a different value.

You also can't observe it over a longer period, so there's no way to know whether it was only in that moment at your measured position or a long time beforehand.
I doubt it. You have people in the US pushing the atrocities of slavery on to others even though that was several generations ago and who may not even had relatives in the US at the time due to the massive immigration surge of the late 1800s
Yeah, anyone creating 921 indexes in the same cluster hasn't read the ES docs[0]. Utilizing aliases and possibly routing is a significantly better design.

I think we can all agree that misusing a tool, after appropriate documentation has been published, shouldn't be a considered a fault of the tool.

excellent doublethink.

doublethink Master is in the house.

> country is generally considered tyrannical if one cannot criticize its leaders, not the other way around

either you can see it or you don't want to. we can't criticize the tech companies or their imposed bias, while they masquerade as tolerant progressives doing social good.

you're more credible if you acknowledge the problem, when you don't you're duped by their doublethink too.

your comment seems too dismissive to address the substantive points I make. it's interesting to think about why you feel you need to try being dismissive and focus on the word choice and not story.

it's almost as if you hope to reframe it for people to focus on those and not substance. interesting. anyway

if you cared about raising kids and their well-being, you'd think more what sort of world this creates for the next generation. I guess SV bubblethink is an apt term too.

anyway, I don't think you know what I mean. You're comprehension's not entirely sound. and I suppose you don't know what you're talking about because it's not too long, it's not incoherent, and i meant doublethink.

You do sound like you're trying to be my editor getting my point into more orderly form. So what do you think I'm saying in the simplest form?
Micro-promotions and mentorship: impact of small actions in engineering culture
Not sure why you're being downvoted here; I also would like to see a breakdown of what people are actually buying with bitcoin thru BitPay. To this day I still don't know anyone in real life who actually uses it over any other payment method.
It could be worse in Germans, though. My (limited) observations of them say that they're on average more conscientious, work and duty-oriented than my fellow Poles. And, when the work/duty ends, it's easier for your life to become hollow.
To be more precise, we are in all of them, but our consciousness only perceives one of them.

So the real problem isn't in quantum mechanics, it's in what the hell consciousness is and why it works the way it does.

However, note that you can have observations performed by a computer which e.g. counts events, and the counter will exist in all "worlds" (branches of the universal wave function, really), while each incarnation of it only "perceives" one such "world". So the physics works just fine even while we don't fully understand consciousness.
I spend less than 10% of my time at my computer maxing my processor. I spend more than 90% of my time using the keyboard. I’ve seriously considered selling my 2017 MBP and buying a 2018 MBA. Then I heard the problems still haven’t been solved with that model and nixed that idea. But I would much rather have a slower machine with a reliable/comfortable keyboard than a faster machine with a brittle/uncomfortable one.
QM and GR are inconsistent. If you don't see that as a fundamental research problem you're not doing science, you're just treading water.

Well, I would like to think that the ties of interactive fiction to text as the mode of interaction are likely the first to be broken.

Both speech recognition and speech synthesis have progressed by leaps and bounds. Computer graphics have progressed to a point where human characters can be made expressive and nuanced.

Imagine an engine that that takes games scripted as interactive fiction, procedurally generates the game world from the prose (far fetched, but first steps exist as research papers), populates it with the characters from the text and makes them act out the written dialog while honoring the implicit stage directions given in the written form ("he whispers in your ear" etc...). All of that presented in VR, which would make having a dialog with these virtual characters more natural.

Looking at the tech that exists today, I believe that we are about halfway there.
> The use of a special kind of lifetime annotation, where the lifetime has to match exactly, can be used to get around this limitation.

This is already expressible in Rust, using invariant lifetimes. You can hand someone an opaque invariant lifetime, let them build a mutable cyclic data structure with it, and then pass that data structure around.

This use of invariant lifetimes, called "generativity," is described in more detail here (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gankro/thesis/master/thesi...) in section 6.3, which describes a way to use lifetimes as unique tokens for all sorts of use cases.

And even more closely aligned with what the article is talking about, Catherine West has put together a library that uses generativity to provide a safe interface to a garbage collected heap, as part of a reimplementation of Lua: the `gc-arena` crate in https://github.com/kyren/luster
Can you expand on what you think has become difficult and what you recommend now?
We may be using different definitions of the word philosophical. I'm classifying anything that can be decided experimentally as scientific. These interpretations are identical from an experimental standpoint.
A teacher (grandpa) and a part-time worker (grandma) supporting 2 babies and a senior (great grandma), yet still able to buy a home in Millbrae and a plot of land in Tahoe (which my family still has to this day)

I can guarantee you right now, you could buy a home and a plot of land that will be out of reach for most people 40 years from now.

The question is - where will that be? Your grandparents probably had no idea Millbrae and Lake Tahoe would be as popular as they are today.

Hell, in the 1970's, people were leaving SF in droves as people wanted to get out of big cities.

The change as a function of the site owner's decision, however, would hopefully have a chilling effect on people's need for social reinforcement in the form of like chasing, and the associated cases of suicide that have happened as a result of not getting that reinforcement.

I suspect that's where instagram is aiming, and they probably see a point nearing where that'll be forced on them by european government(s) attempting to reduce the amount of high profile 'social media' suicide.

An optional opt-in system like your implementation is great, but sadly doesn't tackle that problem.
Yeah but the comments you are replying to don't talk about wages. They only offer counterpoints that disprove your original assertion: prices didn't go down in every sector.
i didn't define reality, although i implied it to be everything, which was a counterpoint to the commenter's implication that quantum mechanics is reality and our intuition is somehow separate from that.

> Quantum mechanics will work the way it does regardless of what your intuition on how it should work thinks.

i didn't say otherwise, although i think what you've stated is debatable.
I think it wise to acknowledge as a cautionary tale about how good people can turn bad in the wrong circumstances.

You can contrast what you see in Japan - good people behaving well with the evidence of past bad deeds. And come to the horrible conclusion that you may very well have acted badly if you found that you had the same circumstances.

In my opinion, the lesson isn't "Japanese are bad people" but "I could be a bad person if I don't act courageously in the face of evil"

1 Corinthians 15:10 "For I am the least of the apostles... because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am...".
I have gotten the same when posting to many technical communities. Sometimes it's a good thing (I've actually agreed in some cases) and sometimes it's awful.

I agree that it's infuriating when it's something reasonable that you're trying to do, but I've experienced this in many tech forums, and programmers have been some of the worst offenders in this category for me in the past, actually.
A top-end PDP, according to that page, could address ~8MB, though I'm sure they didn't have it for a while; other charts on the internet suggest a top-end PDP-10 would get up to 33 mega Hz.

8MB for an embedded controller is no great ask and you have to crawl a ways down the spec sheet pile to get a 33MHz processor nowadays. A top-end PDP-10 would today put it roughly on par with an Arduino [1], although the Arduino would be a bit short on RAM.

Even if you have the space to spare on comments and long variable names, you've been raised in a culture that considers those insanely expensive extravagances.

How to prepare for a gap year in your career?
Have you read much about prusik mistakes and accidents? I feel like this is mentioned quite a bit when talking about whether to put your third hand above or below your belay device.

I think I've only heard of a single accident when this has happened and involved death, though.

Ummmm no. Healthcare costs have gone up dramatically, completely negating the increase in benefits coverage: https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/u-s-spe...

If anything, including benefits, you have less than you did at the start of the millennium.

Though reading the article you linked, I'd be pretty surprised if insurance costs in the USA are not suppressing wages.

In other words, the health care industry in the USA is doubly stealing from those in it. It's flat out affordable, and may be why you didn't get a raise...

"wikidump" links to https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/ , which has thousands of files, none of which are 5GB and make sense. That's a very poor corpus link!

It says "Feb 7, 2019", so it probably means https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20190120/ or https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20190201/ ... maybe. They don't have any obvious 5.3GB files.

I see you haven't actually tried to do VATMOSS or GDPR compliance. It might be easy to register a corp, but you're walking into a liability minefield unless you do it right, which will be a few staff worth of people, or hope you're ignored & small enough to never be enforced upon.

And in the USA, you only pay sales tax for customers inside your state, unless you have something called a 'nexus' within the other states, which is simpler to avoid by staying put in a single state.

The specific test deployment was multitenant anyway-- you can't account or optimize for what tenants are going to index.
That's why master shouldn't be whatever you're about to deploy for the first time, but the known-good version that has been burned-in on prod (for an hour or a week or whatever), so if you have to abandon a release you don't have an entire team who already rebased on top of it.

In MWI the event corresponding to collapse is the supposed appearance of an entire universe, which is - conveniently - impossible to detect. And which "explains" any one timeline of experience as "Actually, that's still just random."

So MWI goes from "That's random and we don't know why" to "That's random, we don't know why, but now we've added a universe too, although we can't prove it exists."

Something about this doesn't seem entirely convincing.
Yeah I do that in a command line interface module for some firmware I wrote. No heap, very limited memory, solution string functions that understand the concept of white space delimited tokens. You just walk the pointer down the input string without modifying it.

Yeah but they were moving to the peninsula and the south bay, e.g. Millbrae, San Mateo, and San Jose. That's what my family did in the post-WWII period along with many others.
A paradox is an internal inconsistency. Noone claims that quantum mechanics is the fundamental theory of everything. Like the convergence of a taylor series, there is a range of energies within which it produces correct calculations, and if you go outside that the result is undefined.
What you need to look at is the ratio between the amount in circulation and how much is spent every year. For $1billon in bitcoin this figure is ≈1%. For dollar (I'll take MZM[1] to provide a conservative result, but it would be even higher if you took M0 or just cash), this ratio is over 120%! So really, bitcoin isn't really used as money, and mainly as a highly speculative
financial asset.

Also, $1 billion sounds huge, but for a payment medium it's still really low: worldwide, last year that's also the order of magnitude of the transactions made in Vanuatu vatu. As a comparison, PayPal recorded more than 500 billions dollars in transactions last year.

Inflation adjustment is weird across time and geographies. I'm not saying the article is wrong, but just something to keep in mind. In 1973 the internet was nascent, we didn't have smartphones, insulin was still hard to produce, and so on. Even making the same amount "inflation adjusted" as 1973, our lives are much richer in part to all these advances.

As an example - it's likely in adjusted terms someone in the top 1% a 100 years ago would be close to the top percentiles today, and yet it's pretty easy to argue that the average person today is still doing much better in almost any measure than a 1%-er from a century ago.

So charge $50/month. Frankly, I'd probably pay it. YouTube without the ads is actually pretty nice.

Unfortunately I can't argue with you and the other posters, in that it doesn't matter what they charge. If it's not seen as a positive career move to work on a given product at Google, its future is always going to be iffy. And Google is an advertising company at the end of the day, not a video streaming company.

And it's certainly true that the more someone is willing to pay to avoid ads, the more valuable to advertisers that person's attention is going to be.
I suppose that's true if you keep adapting it's purpose. Probably provides a decent experience as a keyboard attached to a modern desktop.

I agree with your point and I think that what your wife does is impressive and a thousand times better than a little free library.
However, I don't think that there is anything wrong with placing books that you no longer want in public place and exchange them with another book. It's not the idea of little free libraries that's problematic, but the execution.
I was living in a small French town from 2013 until 2015 and there was something similar to a little free library on one of the main downtown plazas. Old and young people from all demographic and socio-economic backgrounds seemed to be participating, taking and leaving books. I really loved it and I think it's a pity that over here, the little free libraries are only to be found in privileged neighborhoods.

Those are two quite modestly-spec'd laptops with fairly high price tags. I bought a rebranded Clevo with pre-installed Ubuntu 4 years ago with an i7 and 16GB of RAM for around $1,000.

Sure. I am just saying that there is no big markup for Apple compared to other vendors. If you want a laptop with the same specs, screen, trackpad, weight, and thinness as a MacBook Air, you are going to end up in the same price class as a MacBook Air.

I am not arguing for thin laptops, light laptops, Magic Trackpads, or whatever. Different people have different requirements. But a lot of people buy MacBooks based on their requirements and not for status.

I think there is at least one thing that we can agree on: the Touch Bar is completely unnecessary and a gimmick ;).
