Of course, while it's neither easy, nor cheap, that train does not need to have any batteries in order to run on electricity. Much of the UK's rail network is either electrified or in the process of being electrified.

The side effect of not needing to use energy to haul your energy source around is pretty cool, too.

Missile size varies generally with range. Tactical, short-range, cruise, and drone-based platforms can be modest and stealthy.
There is probably a group of people with that sense of aesthetics and the will like it. If you are presenting a few versions of the logo they will probably choose the one that you like the less. Sad but true.
50kw is actually not that powerful in terms of lasers. Petawatt systems are being built.

The 50kW laser that the air force wants is a sustained laser. This is not at all comparable to the petawatt lasers used by scientists, which produce pulses on the order of a femtosecond. Such a brief pulse would not be able to destroy a missile since the total amount of energy delivered is very low.
It’s worse than that... whole states are experiencing brain drain. As agriculture continues its consolidation, significant parts of the country are losing anyone who can leave.

A Turing machine has a simple loop of reading the current tape cell, and depending on the current value, writing a new value, changing state and moving the read head on the tape. The paper shows that there are cards in MTG which can be used to implement that kind of loop.

The tape is represented by tokens whose strength increases with their distance from the read head, such that the current cell is the weakest one. On every loop iteration, it gets killed (read) and triggers different effects depending on its type, such as getting replaced (writing a new value), changing the effects that will be active on the next iteration (changing state) and dealing damage to one side of the tape but not the other (moving the read head).

True, and the original lining ended up being banned as an endocrine disruptor (BPA). I’d guess the lining is more for protecting the integrity of the metal than food safety.

What happens with the gasoline after it’s made? Does it get burnt again? I’m guessing the energy released from burning that gasoline must necessarily be less than the energy used in creating it. Then the net is going back to square one with regards to CO2, but with a net loss of renewable energy?

I may well be off the mark here, so would appreciate it if someone could tell me what I’m missing.
The Ehrlichman quote was first published by Dan Baum in his 1997 book, Smoke and Mirrors. This book came out before Ehrlichman died, and it included other interviews with Nixon staffers that supported the Ehrlichman quote. The book was reviewed by the New York Times.
Why should the federal government regulate time zones? Why shouldn’t states do as they will (as Arizona and even more extremely Indiana do)? Some states, or portions of states, could go on 1/2 hour offsets if they are too far from local noon (as other TZs do).

We all walk around with computers in our pockets that can manage it. I can see there might have been a justification back when computation was difficult and the government felt it had a stake in trains being built, but nowadays those factors no longer apply.
As many as you can shuffle unassisted is the upper limit.
> What is probably way easier though (and actually survives launch and particles hitting it and is already proven in practice) is to use ablative heat shields on missiles.

The word "ablative" is typically used in reference to reentry. As the vehicle encounters incredible heat as it comes back into the atmosphere (due to compression heating or whatever), the shield intentionally has some part of its surface gradually boil off.

Let me get what you're saying straight. Superpower A would launch an ICBM, and then Superpower B would then laser it as it flies through the air or space. As the missile absorbs the laser heat, its surface starts to boil off, but if the laser doesn't boil off enough, then the laser counter-attack on the missile could still be survivable.

> Probably better to use modern Prolog instead?

Caveat first off: it's 7+ years since I looked at this, so take "modern" in that context. I used SWI Prolog specifically [1].

At that point, CLIPS and Prolog occupied similar spaces - but not the same. Prolog is backward chaining. So it's really good at answering questions that can be derived from a base set of facts. For example. Let's say:

There's a road from City A to City B, and a road from City B to City C.

It's then very easy in Prolog to say "there's a route from "Start" to "Finish" if either:

1. there's a road from Start to Finish, or

2. There's a road from Start to City X, and a route from X to Finish.

The beauty of prolog is that you don't need to explicitly code iteration over all the available roads; that's what the backward chaining algorithm does for you.

In arriving at the answer, it'll exhaustively test all permutations. Importantly though, it won't add to the list of facts you started with (unless you specifically tell it to). Once the question is answered, the intermediate results are discarded. In that sense, Prolog - at least in purest form - is somewhat stateless. Assert some facts, then ask questions about inferences that can be drawn from them.

CLIPS is different. It's a forward chaining engine, from a class of related products known as Production Systems. It's designed to be used where new facts are being asserted; when that happens, it figures out the consequences as they ripple through. As new facts are asserted - and their consequences computed - the underlying state evolves. So intermediate results are retained (in fact, that's key to operation).

CLIPS (and Production Systems in general) were used, for example, in medical diagnosis applications. As new symptoms were asserted, the rules rippled through, suggesting the most likely diagnosis.

The key to making this efficient is the forward chaining algorithm, known as Rete [2] (pronounced "Rait").

Again: these are examples, and the reality is likely much more nuanced now. But at least in their purest original form, CLIPS and Prolog are more complementary than overlapping.

>There is no requirement to provide a better model if the existing model is inaccurate enough.

We disagree here. I think this notion is what allows people to arbitrarily dismiss theories that they personally don't like.
I’ve been using this in our Python project via clipspy (https://github.com/noxdafox/clipspy) and it’s been pretty nice. Clips is really REPL-centric and provides a lot of good debugging tools. It’s powerful and fast. The maintainer (Gary Riley) also does a great job answering questions on SO. Pretty happy with it.
Yet it makes people's live better day by day... I feel that as insiders we don't really realize that software works quite well compared to many every day things.
They solved this a LONG time ago!

"In the UK, the Regulation of Railways Act 1889 introduced a series of requirements on matters such as the implementation of interlocked block signalling and other safety measures as a direct result of the Armagh rail disaster in that year."
I see your point. On the other hand Jews are sick of having to be constantly judged by others, others who are no better than them, and usually ones that are extremely ignorant. For centuries Jews have tried to keep quiet, keep their happiness/sadness to themselves, stay out of the way of the gentiles. That didn't work. The Israeli Jew is a different Jew, who is proud and will fight when necessary. That's just how it is now and the new Jew won't be constantly succumbing to the desires of ignorant antisemites.
Completely fair. Your hard work and your product - you should turn it into a sustainable business as you see fit. I was only casually commenting to share my personal thought that it would be a great time saver for me as a sysadmin to "just" use something like Your product instead of spending hours tinkering with Jupyterhub to get it to work well. I'm not entitled to anything.

From my past experiences there are a lot of enterprises that are rightfully scared to let their employees use such a service and open up data regardless of what promises a SaaS company makes. There is general assumption that if the SaaS company fucks up, all we get is a "we take our security very seriously...." blog post.

So, making your product work within a corporate network without "call home" is a great advantage and immediately expands your target audience with some potentially big pockets.

Not really, it was just made to weight the scales (in both houses, by different mechanisms) so that a particular set of interests[0] would be less likely be a political minority even if they were a numeric minority. It retained the feature that political minorities were easily suppressed by the political majority, so long as it was a political minority in both houses.

Memory Hacker is changing how humans learn
Currently just on Android, the app "Memory Hacker" attempts to help people memorize what they want in a highly effective way through scientific means such as associative learning and spacing.

It aims to change how humans adopt and digest knowledge by brute forcing and helping people understand what they truly wish to comprehend. It aims to combine long-term and short-term memorization and comprehension and effectively change how people digest knowledge.

Technology has been improving significantly but little attempts have been made to drastically influence or manipulate the mechanics of how we think. Using "Memory Hacker", you would be able to upgrade your mind and digest knowledge like never before.
Awesome, happy to see that. Been wanting to play with crux anyway. Nextjournal runs on Clojure and Datomic and we use some of pack.alpha and aero from juxt, so thanks!
Every time I read one of these things I feel dumber. Who buys stuff like Bootstrap templates? I feel like most of that kind of stuff is free or not hard to replicate and I don't get why people spend money on it.
This would only seem to protect from memory corruption vulnerabilities that are exploited. I don't see how this would protect from the most common vulns: SQLi, command injection, crypto implementation weaknesses, OWASP top 10. Would this even protect against sensitive data leakage like the Heartbleed vuln?
Yes, it works, but there is a limit for how much warming it can migitate (if you make the particles larger/more they will just coagulate and precipitate faster), and the limit seems to be ~ -2 W/m^2. (It is important to not only consider the short-wave reflective cooling of the aerosol but also the long-wave heating it creates. More sulphur will just coagulate faster. Changing atmospheric circulation patterns mean the aerosol is not distributed equally and can grow and precipiate faster.) (Currently we're already at an estimated +0.6 W/m^2.)

Additionally, the atmospheric circulation is disturbed [0]. Interaction with the ozone layer might also be highly problematic.

So this is not a solution, only a last-ditch effort if we need to buy some time. With everything else being constant, the injection needs to be repeated for basically forever, a problem for all solar radiation management techniques.

Carbon capture on the other hand allows us to stop at some point, it removes the problem instead of only treating the symptoms. There are ideas for enhanced weathering, or storing organic matter (eg as biochar), which are feasible from an energic perspective but still expensive.

Whatever we do, it needs to be done on a huge scale, like a massive war effort, with everyone involved and helping, and it will be more expensive than not emitting the carbon in the first place. Also, one method alone will not cut it, and there will be side effects, which are hopefully less severe than the alternative.

Don't rely on technology to fix the problem after the fact, push for change now.

> your comment just takes for granted that their prioritization is wrong

Firstly i doubt it's a prioritisation choice of which they have agency over. I find it more likely that they were powerless to change it, but i have no evidence of that so i accept it could still be their choice.

Secondly, this prioritisation - whether by these people or whether, as i suspect, by others and forced upon those people - IS wrong Unless it is explicitly negotiated in the offer of employment. Which, we know it was not.

I.e. in the case of a public venture then you are joining a military function - i do not think civilian police should expect to give their life. In the case of employment with a private venture then there's a dedicated line item on the paycheck "danger money" and the worker is suitably educated of its meaning before they are allowed to accept the offer of employment.

This is not hard. Enterprise can be accomplished, profit can be made, and human capital can be fairly compensated. Greed does not need to prevail in all business decisions.
> this reads like a piece sponsored by rich people intended to test the waters in terms of public opinion.

I kinda doubt it. Pacific Standard has a left-liberal editorial slant and is generally skeptical of billionaires. To the extent this piece has an agenda, it's probably to scare voters into taking action on climate change through democratic policy, or else risk the rich going rouge and poisoning the skies.
I guess shit happens.
I have an identical setup to this, painless to deploy updates/blog posts and zero cost.

I was previously using Jekyll, but moved over to Gatsby a few months ago and have enjoyed the built-in features of Gatsby and it’s surrounding ecosystem so far.

I have also considered integrating a git based CMS like Netlify CMS, but because it’s so easy to make new blog posts with just a git commit and a push I haven’t taken the time to change the workflow.

Another example is Ansible. Since my entire dev environment is in WSL and WSL is running Ubuntu 18.04, I can reuse all of my exact Ansible roles that I use on a production Ubuntu 18.04 server. They work just the same in WSL, so setting up my dev environment involves nothing more than reusing roles I've created for production.

And yeah, sometimes it can be demoralizing when people don't show to something I've put a lot of time into. But that's also why I've learned how to find easier social events to plan. The town I live in does a First Friday thing (more live music, art exhibits, etc.). I just throw the invite out to a bunch of people, if they show they show. Same for movies and other things. At some point a small "inner circle" or whatever forms, that's the group that'll stick around for a while. Some may just be more into going out, others will be close friends. But at least you've got the group started. It'll grow from there, especially if you can find a couple more socially outgoing people who enjoy planning.
As a Magic player (since 1996) and Go player (since 2004) and also deep learning scientist, the main issue with Magic is modeling the game. The interactions and exceptions are really numerous, I expect Magic Arena and Magic Online are a mess of spaghetti code.

For go modeling basically you have in input an image of the go board, and for DOTA an image of your screen and the action you have are "limited" and do not change wildly depending of the state of your screen (except if you're dead on Dota).

For Magic, you can't just use deep reinforcement learning with an image input, you need to somehow track the state of your deck, cards, instant effects, what your opponent did ...

It's not like the revolutionaries made a policy to tear down the neon after the revolution. The America gov't instituted an embargo. Being in the tropics, the electric signs broke down, and it was hard to get replacement parts.

In its base form this technology is mining a resource - carbon. Would you rather mine in areas of low or high atmospheric intensity? Would you rather capture it where you fund the whole operation yourself, or where someone else (existing polluters) is willing to pay you to take it out of the air because there is a regulatory cost to them putting said carbon in the air?

Maybe i should have been clearer. I wasn't suggesting using the energy from a fossil plant to power this, but co-locating it to areas where there might be more environmental and cost incentives to do so.

As i said in my earlier post, arguments on cost/efficiency are beside the point. The huge deal here is the use of electricity (of any form including all the advances to come in the future...solar cells in space, nuclear fusion etc), to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. One can now envision a future (regardless of cost or efficiency today) where we can sustainably keep the earth whole.
>Maybe now that LTO is more prevalent the linker could figure out that the symbol is not part of the executable and insert the indirection through the GOT instead?

I'm pretty sure this is already possible. I think the copy relocations are a kind of optimization. If a shared lib contains mutable variables then at least some of the library has to be copied every time a process modifies that variable. Copy relocations help to avoid this.
