Glad to hear that - I can share my perspective too. Even given my graduate computer science degree, I only apply what I learned in a very shallow way to my work, which has generally been apps of some sort or another, web mobile etc. For example I studied a lot about operating systems that don't even come up in my projects, other than a process vs thread vs coroutine, blocking or nonblocking io. Similarly with algorithms and architecture. Of course, it's easy to shrug off what you already know as supposedly obvious, but I sure as hell never had to implement a complex algorithm and perform asymptotic analysis on it for my CRUD app, and all the concurrency and object-oriented programming stuff I learned has become more obsolete now that we have horizontal/vertical scaling, databases and cache servers handling concurrent state, and a tendency toward trivially parallelized code and event loops. What has really stuck? Discrete mathematics and deductive systems, theory of computation - abstract stuff I could not appreciate at the time and now wish I really tried at. So altogether, I feel that my CS degree helped in the short term, but on the long term, has left me only marginally advantaged over either not having a degree or having an unrelated degree, and still leaves me unsatisfied with my understanding of honestly more fulfilling subjects. And while I can pick up plenty of books and information on the engineering side, I face a much more uphill battle trying to understand concepts in economics, math, and physics, and my comprehension of creative writing, art, and philosophy is still really lackluster.

That's like saying don't bother studying so you can get to the NBA.

For the unicorns that can pull that off, sure. For the other 99.9999999999999% of the population of the planet it's really bad advice.
You haven’t stated from your own personal experience or showing a documented feature set how the third party apps are better.

Do you really think that people are going to purposefully install an app that keeps them from taking pictures that will cause them to use more cloud storage? Do the third party apps somehow prevent this better than Apples built in controls? You’ve posted twice without giving any details to back up your claims.
This book (and the class) were my first exposure to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics and it's served me very well. Background up to that point was high school mechanics and college freshman mechanics and E&M. I think the book alone would be a more challenging first introduction to Lagrangians and Hamiltonians, but it does give a very good "deep" understanding of the material, mostly because you can play around with functions, equations, and systems without having to grind through pages of algebra since the computer does it.

Outside of a class, it might be best approached with a few friends working through it together or in conjunction with one of the more traditional mechanics texts. Definitely worth the read at some point!
This is a cute study, but there are multiple interpretations of this data. Another interpretation of what the "BSers" are doing is trying to figure out what they think things like "Subjunctive scaling" means, and thinking about whether they understand what they imagine the phrase to mean. You can call this overconfidence, or you can call this persistence.
No, I think the thing went haywire after the invention of the printing press, which enabled more people to access STEM, causing them to invent more things.
I personally use MDaemon which runs on windows Server and has a nice configuration ui. Have been using that for our small company for 20+ years.
I don't use macos or windows anywhere in my entire life. My work laptop, work servers, personal laptop, and phone all run linux.

So, yeah - keep weeding out those idiots?
While I'm no fan of Rand, I think 'rule' here is meant as control and coerce, not normal beneficial government stuff. Viewed in that light, the quote makes sense - you can't get someone to inform on their friends by offering a mere tax break. But if you threaten them with jail time for some 'crime', they'll be much more cooperative.
re Inheritance -- used very well to solve a "Pretty Big Data" problem, making 60 child tables with two fields to differentiate.. some craft is required when building indexes, and in loading the data. Overall this inherited tables solution works very well and had many small positive side effects over time. As always, PG is rock-solid, everytime.
I think Intel is trying to grow drones (an emerging market) and cloud departments.

And in general, the end of process size reduction doesn't mean the end of innovation in chip building and design. There are limits on node sizes, as there are limits on heat dissipation, but once you have high enough yield, there are few limits onto how many circuits you put onto a chip, as long as most of the circuits are powered off. Ultimately, the more stuff special purpose circuits compute instead of the general purpose one, the better for power consumption.
Unless my car can drive itself, I will always disconnect any of this "IoT writ large" bullshit. I have my phone for navigation. My car does not need a cellular transceiver or a GPS antenna and I will happily rip both of them out by the wires.

>Though seat controls are listed as common use for it. Which with some occupants and cars with the seatbelt - would enable the seat to pull the driver away from the controls. So whilst not directly deemed critical - certainly a vector of concern in some permutations of seat/driver position (thinking large 4x4's driven by small people who end up having the seat fully forward and raised, as an example).

Combine seat adjustment with GPS position reporting and you could devise a way to make a targeted person lose control, without taking control of "critical" systems, exactly as they're crossing a bridge.

Suddenly I feel the urge to Faraday-cage my car.
It's not so the partner can test/validate the cpu, it's so the partners can test/validate their designs using the cpu. i.e. It's hard to test/validate a laptop design if no CPUs exist that work with it.

They were damn good navigators though. The level of technology of their boats were in some ways vastly superior to the Europeans who traveled to the South Pacific.

Remember that "technology" isn't a generic "I'm better at it than you are" kind of thing. Different societies have different levels of technology depending on what their needs are. Polynesians needed to cross enormous distances, so they were well developed in that area.
- The Study[1]: 400 people from Amazon's Mechanical Turk were given an online poll, where they were asked to guess how many dots were in a given picture. They were then given some information about dot density to see if they changed their mind. While there was some correlation between radicalism and dogmatism(more heavily tilted when it comes right-wing radicalism, according to the study), there were still a significant portion of political radicals who were just as open minded, or even less dogmatic than moderates, implying that there could be a subsection of "radicals" who are skewing the whole group slightly towards more dogmatism.

- The Headline: "Political radicals don’t evaluate their own errors– about anything". "Moderates are much better at figuring out when they're likely to be mistaken."

I find articles like this a disgrace to both journalism and science, but unfortunately you need clicks and shares to progress in both.

A big problem with increasing the clock speed is that your processor still needs to wait for the DRAM to respond. Modern processors are crazy smart about prefetching, caching, and running instructions in parallel, but at some point Memory bandwidth and latency begin to dominate over CPU clock speed. Many players have started looking at puting multiple dies on the same substrate with high-speed interconnects to reduce memory latency and improve throughput. Those improvements could help push the usefulness of higher clocks a bit further.

I love this book! Prior to reading it, I had been getting confused when trying to learn classical mechanics. The book writes out everything explicitly in code, which let me use the software engineering part of my brain, and made everything easy to follow. Apparently I had been being held back by unfamiliarity with math formalisms!

If you're interested in the topic and know how to program, it might be worth a read in case it turns out you're in the same boat.
> This is a really shitty e-debate tactic.

Is it really though? Are people's opinions not shaped by what they read on forums? Is the wholesale dismissal of complex ideas based on a simplistic claim something to be held up as a standard to work towards? I would argue that a recent presidential candidate was successful using largely that type of tactic.

> If you have something to say, say it.

I am: if some states an opinion as if it is a fact, then please provide some substantiation for the opinion.

> Pointing out that other people are quoting well-known bankrupt ideas

Are these ideas "bankrupt"? And, how might I come to learn that we know this is "well-known"? What is an authoritative source to which I can refer?

What adjectives might we use to describe that e-debate tactic? Effective is one, but I can think of others.

> It's enough to call a spade a spade. It's been done to death.

The "the debate is over" e-debate tactic, also very effective.

> Don't pretend otherwise.

Am I pretending anything, or making any particularly strong assertion? My intent is asking someone who has made a strong assertion (in this case, a backhand dismissal) to provide some supporting evidence. Am I the one that's out of order?

Conversations like this seem to be a good example of the very problem we're experiencing. I believe most disagreements of this nature are fundamentally epistemological in nature, and by that I mean something like: people conceptualize reality based on a loose collection of incomplete, non-integrated, and inconclusive ideas, that they pick up from a wide variety of sources (forums being one of them) and integrate into their ongoing mental model of reality. At times, some of the ideas they pick up may not be entirely accurate, so constantly debating things in a marketplace of ideas seems to me like something that should be encouraged and re-normalized, not forbidden/stigmatized.

> The only thing I'm wondering is why are there soooooo many people that want to see Tesla fail?

There are probably some people that want that (including people who have a financial interest in it, like shorters or people with long positions in competing firms), but it's also very easy for people who have positive aspirations or expectations of Tesla to mistake (or sometimes, misrepresent dishonestly) reporting of negative facts or negative expectations with wanting to Tesla to fail.

You see a similar thing very much in other fields, too (the most common egregious example being political allies of the status quo regime in a nation accusing people who advance the view that the existing policy will fail for the nation of wanting the nation to fail.)
I agree that it doesn't work and is antifeatures. I also like that on IRC you can just sent messages and there it is. You can have public logs, possibly server side logs (although as far as I know, implementations of this aren't common, but this is easily possible without altering the protocol or clients at all); private messages would not be logged though, so if you wish to remain private you should send the message private instead (the server administrator should not look at private messages either, unless the message is addressed to them). Messages that you do not like, you can filter out on the client side (if the operator can provide a default filter file for uses who do not want to see everything or to customize it, that could also do; however, (public) messages should probably still be stored except that you do not have unlimited disk space, so you will have to avoid some anyways).

Rosa Parks gives us a model for behavior, for bravery in the face of institutionalized injustice. We want as many of her as we can get, because left radical ideas make the world fairer when they become mainstreamed by people like her.

No. If you had ever been on the receiving end of what radicals exhibiting bravery actually get as response, you would understand that nobody prefers that kind of abuse.
I less concerned about the tech bubble bursting in and of itself. My concern is that it seems like tech is the last thing people can do to earn themselves a decent living nowadays, if that bubble bursts where does it leave us?
TSMC is already doing risk 5nm production and 3nm seems entirely viable. We won't see a 'wall' until sometime after 3nm (~2025). Depending on whom you talk to, 2nm and smaller process sizes are also viable. I wouldn't expect any serious shift away from silicon processes till 2030.
uBiome was mostly selling pseudoscience to engineers (who should know better) and the essential oils crowd. Once you have the data you have to do something meaningful with it. For most uBiome users that means heading to YouTube to figure out which guru they are going to follow.

Is it roughly accurate to say that if your computing area operates at 10x the speed, you can do 10 cores worth of computing work with one core? That would free up a lot of die area for other things, though I don't know how to guess how much that extra space would improve the other bits.

I'd kind of figure that such a technology would also speed up the RAM, but I suppose that's not true either if the underlying storage technology is too slow. But I know that's also an area of active research.
I have to say I'm disappointed in your reply. Neurons only occur in animals, and the concept of neural signaling is not directly analogous to plant signaling in communities. Plants have a much wider vocabulary than electrical activation.

I appreciate that you're trying to stick to astrophysics and the numbers one through three, but you have failed to engage with the "language of animacy" concept, which makes this sort of a pointless reply. In addition, "it's not clear that the language itself informs the concept" -- yes, that's the point of there being a hypothesis, and that's the point of this discussion. I don't propose that the truths of astrophysics are going to be different in Blackfoot. I do propose that languages carry fundamental values and concerns of societies. These values and concerns of course influence scientific inquiry. Now, it may be that language, choices regarding directions of research, and approaches to scientific inquiry are all just results of underlying drivers, but that's the interesting part of the discussion.
Yeah. One of the categories was "proper numbers" and I immediately thought: "hmm they probably mean real numbers".
This book focuses on the ARM Cortex-M archtectured microcontrollers..

The merriam webster definition is pretty alarming. I have never understood radicalism to have anything to do with class inequality or conservativism. A radical is simply somebody who espouses a rarely held opinion. The Cambridge definition is far closer to being accurate.
Really depends on how throughout the investigation is/what hardware survives the crash.

Depending on the surrounding circumstances of the incident, it would probably not even be considered a possibility because fatal car crashes are so common that "just another accident" is the most probable, and thus most usual answer.

Unfortunately can't reply to the original question anymore. But here's another hypothesis I just read elsewhere (RU: https://don-beaver.livejournal.com/212422.html): the matter-energy falling towards "center" inevitably has some non-zero momentum, orthogonal to the direction along r. That means its fall is going to be (sort of) spiral, causing it to produce gravitational waves. The argument here is that the whole mass will be converted into gravitational waves before reaching the central point. Now what happens to those waves is a question still.
