Ask HN: MacBook Pro (New) Overheating
I recently purchased a new macbook pro, and it seems that if the CPU is under load for more than 5 minutes the CPU will throttle aggressively.

NetNewsWire 5.0: Open-Source RSS Reader for Mac
Totally different kind of cryptography. sec256k1 is an elliptic curve, and 256-bit elliptic curves are generally believed to provide comparable security to 3072-bit RSA or DH or ElGamal. (See https://www.keylength.com for a good compilation of reputable comparisons along these lines.)

Anatomy of a Large Self-Driving Mower
It is a bit more difficult to see this because you are describing a continuous time process, however, the answer is that yes you would be able to to figure out the time t1 given you knew had a snapshot of the whole system through the time evolution equation.

Perhaps your confusion stems from the fact that the time t2 is observed, and it seems like you can't go back after that. An easier to grasp manifestation of this problem is that if you find Schrodinger's cat dead you can't tell if was always dead or if was dead only after your experiment. The reason is because that's only with the narrow knowledge of that cat being dead (maybe the would call this the cat state subsystem). It might be unsatisfactory to you, but in the theory of quantum mechanics, if you knew the state of everything (say the room, measurement apparatus, and so on), then you would be able to trace back to whether the cat was alive or dead. The moral is that the measurement looks irreversible if you look only at the system you are observing, but overall, people accept that there is a overarching greater space (the "environment, universe" where everything is just a unitary operation in motion according to the time evolution equation [1]). To be clear, the time evolution equation only admits reversible solutions. So with full knowledge, of say, the room and measurement apparatus, it would be possible to deduce the original state of the cat.

I'm not sure how Instagram works, so sorry if my question is too far off topic:

Your insight seems reasonable, but what is your opinion about Youtube influencers, where the audience is huge, truly engaged, and all of their videos contain ads in the beginning and at the end aswell ALL the time?

Some channels even come with an enragingly subtle transition where you only realise you are watching an ad when you watched half of the ad, but the content is so good you cannot hate them enough to stop watching the channel?

Do these ads perform poorly aswell?
I think the article is already quite concise. Moreover it is nicely written and explains a current open problem in physics from first principles.

A summary like this is useful if the underlying article is bloated and clickbait-y but in this case potentially detracts a reader from a good article.

A good rule is to let the caller decide. If input parameters are by-reference and the caller wants to make them by-reference, congrats, no problem. If caller wants the parameters to by a copy, they can create a clone and pass a reference. But if you impose the input parameters to by copy, there's no way back.

The article doesn't mention this, but if you look at the paper[1] it turns out they aren't using ElGamal with elliptic curve fields -- instead they're using prime fields. In that case, you'd want similar key sizes to RSA. (The "less than 256 bit" part is a red herring, the problem is that they are using key sizes that would only be safe if they were using elliptic curves.)

The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes
I've never worked at an org or on a team with an explicit 'we do pair programming', but in general if someone wants to explicitly start watching while ai walk through something, or have me watch whilethey show me something and we figure something out together, that's fine.

I will fumble the keys and be much slower if I'm the one being watched, but I'm fine with that because I know they're there and they asked.

I'd still be bothered by others walking past behind us while the person who came over to 'pair program' (if I can call what we're doing that) watches and doesn't bother me.
Just because it is difficult to prove does not make it less of a violation.
When you buy a book you are buying an implementation of a story. And a company paid for the right to produce the implementations in that form, which is what you're covering in the purchase.

When you purchased a book it didn't give you ownership to all other implementations of the story.

You still must pay for a recording of a reading, a translated version, the story in a film, and so on.

The right to make implementations is agreed by contract... Licensed... And restricted to the form of an implementation and usually a legal/geographic domain.

If you purchased the right to make implementations in clay tablets, you would not have the inherent right to produce a shadow puppet version too. For that you would need another license from the author (typically via their publisher).
Possible jobs areas after math doctorate
A friend of mine finished her maths doctorate and worked in a startup for 3D renderings. Unfortunately the positions was discontinued. They are looking for jobs where maths plays part in the daily routine. But would like something different then statistics or optimizations.

Which industries, fields or institutions would offer or require such topics?

I am trying to find possible work areas and help her, but my industry knowledge only applies to a small field not related to maths.

> Blech! Having to explicitly borrow temporary values is super gross.

You can cut down on a lot of that by implementing basic operations (Add, Mul, etc.) for both value and reference types.

impl Add<Vector3> for Vector3 { … }
impl Add<&Vector3> for Vector3 { … }
impl Add<Vector3> for &Vector3 { … }
impl Add<&Vector3> for &Vector3 { … }

(The first three can delegate to the last one, unless there are value-specific optimizations you want to apply.)
Interesting article. I enjoyed it.

I have two thoughts.

====

1. Regarding the benchmark itself, I wonder out loud if CPU caching could have a meaningful alter on the results.
The article says :

> I randomly generate 4000 spheres, capsules, segments, and triangles.

It is not clear to me if this is enough to fill CPU L1 cache or not. My guess is that it is not.
If all the benchmark indeed happens within the L1 cache, I wonder how a bigger workload would affect the results. Maybe it does not change anything. But maybe it does.

====

2. The author mentioned two criterion for choosing between by-copy and by-borrow : performance and ergonomics. I would add a third, somewhat related to ergonomics : let's call it semantics. When some piece of data naturally belongs somewhere and some others entities are natural "readers" of it, it might make sense to use the ownership / borrowing mechanism of Rust to naturally reflect this relationship, regardless of performance or code ergonomics.

In particular, a borrow guarantees you always work on a read-only, up to date value of the data. Meanwhile, after a pass by-copy the life cycles of the data seen by the caller and the data seen by the callee become independent of each other. This can have consequences, particularly in a multi-threaded environment.

The paper[1] makes it much clearer. They aren't using elliptic curves, they're using prime fields with ElGamal (with a weird construction using three separate keys for some reason). The security is similar to RSA-256 (in other words, "awful") -- it makes sense that they could crack it in 20 minutes.

There are many things wrong with that. Speed is not the most important thing during exams. If it does, it means one of two wrong things (sometimes both):
- Poorly designed exam: Too many questions and not enough time to complete it for the average student,
- Poor student skills: the student takes too much time on each question. Solving speed is part of the skills, but one should not "cheat" by sacrificing calligraphy or presentation.

Being able to write something that is readable for others (do whatever you want when writing for yourself) is part of basic skills just like being able to read a text in a reasonable amount of time.

Your teacher was terribly wrong, they should have awarded points for presentation, spelling and grammar (assuming they can evaluate that too; in my country the culture of "good science people can have terrible spelling" is a scourge).
The extra digit names flow well, but I think shoehorning it into the same constructions English decimal numbers use doesn't, mostly because the “-ty”/“-teen” suffixes are too tied both etymologically and phonetically to being “ten”. If I say the word “eighteen”, making it 0x18 in one context and XVIII in another is close in plausible applicability and far in exact meaning, which is about the worst case for avoiding misunderstandings. In fact I have a vague recollection of my computer architecture instructor back in undergrad warning us about exactly that regarding hexadecimal numbers: do not ever be tempted to pronounce them as though they were decimal, even if all the digits fit into the pattern.

There might be ways to fix that with variants of those suffixes, though my first thought of “-xy”/“-xeen” might be too hard to distinguish in a noisy auditory environment.

It is a complicated issue, because if you are reviewing products in a niche, and producing truly useful content around it, then getting all the stuff for retail price could be prohibitively expensive.

And doing all of that for hoping that posting the content with a promo code MAY refer 30 people, so that you could get the same item at a discount?

That seems unreasonable.

On the other hand, I have 1st hand experience on how hard it is doing marketing profitably. You are throwing most of your money straight out the window, most campaigns bring in 0 conversions, some even 0 impressions..

So being a busy businessperson juggling all the daily operations stuff, being so done with the bullshit marketing opportunities bringing in nothing, and the freebie seeker influencers, why would this next person asking for stuff be different?

The default mode network may be the “addiction to thinking.”

There's just no way any elections in Russia would produce the results not approved by the government. Government controls the entire chain of custody, from ballot counting to final vote tallies, and has been routinely falsifying the results at all levels. It often doesn't even need to tell those in charge to do anything: they "know" who should win and they make sure it happens. They also know they will have significant issues, career, legal, and otherwise, if it doesn't happen.

Funniest thing is, they don't even need to do this. Because nearly all of the mass media is under government control, the incumbents have overwhelming support of the people as it is.

When I buy a book I am buying the story.

This is where your analysis goes wrong.

But I never understood why once I have the audiobook I could not be allowed the text version for free.

For the same reason you're not entitled to a free (or even discount) paperback if you buy the hardback, or why I can't return the paperback I dropped in the bathtub for new copy. You're not licensing the story, you're buying a specific implementation of that story. Furthermore different companies have bought the rights to different versions of that story in different mediums, and they all want to earn their money back.

they Don't actually claim ownership. Audible has another product "Immersion reading" where you can buy both the Audio version and written version of a book and audible will sync between the two highlighting the spoken words on the written version in real time.The user can go forward/backward in the written version and have audio synced to that. Again this works with a licensed copy of both audio and text of the book. Whereas closed captioning is completely different. It is driven completely by the audio, does not have the accuracy of the real text, is being displayed line by line and in a time you don't control. noone would consider that equivalent to having the complete text book. And the intention to me is clear. Audible is already licensing Text versions for the customers who want them while having CC is a hearing aid just for the audio version.
Isn't there like a law or razor or something named after someone that says all humor will one day be offensive?
> Not sure copyright of a Audio version of a book include to use for other uses such as training models.

it must. I am using the audio book to train my meat-brain implementation of a neural network. This is no different than training an electron-brain neural network. I have purchased the book and the information contained within must be usable in any form i desire, except for copying and redistributing the text.
You are collapsing the wave function at t1 and t2. At t1 explicitly by stating that the state is known, and by t2 implicitly by defining that you have a defined distance t2- t1.

The emission of an photon at an explicit time t2 is not reversible, the emission of an photon according to the wave function of the atom leads to an photon entangled with the atom and the total has a reversible wave function. (For illustrative purposes, when you measure and you find the photon at a distance (t- t2)*c from the atom, then you will also find the atom in a state that has emitted a photon at t2, no Idea if that is especially illustrative.)

Let's take that "newly created piece of text", and use a text-to-speech NN trained on the narrator's voice, and create alternative audio books. Maybe we can even include the original audio book in the training set for better results, after all we don't know that Amazon is not using the original book in theirs. I wonder if Amazon would consider it "newly created piece of audio".

« At the heart of the case will be a determination on the transformative nature of an AI-created audio transcription, and whether that constitutes a violation of the copyrights held on a written work. »

It seems to me that this shouldn't be what matters. Clearly Audible are distributing the books in a way protected by copyright, so they're relying on the permission they've paid the publishers for.

If the publishers have been giving out different licences for "audiobook" rights and "ebook" rights, that's not a distinction from copyright law, so deciding what's allowed should be a matter of interpreting the licence, not arguing about whether what they're doing is "transformative".

After all, the publishers could presumably write a licence that says Audible aren't allowed to distribute recordings of the work with background music added, and if a case about that went to court it shouldn't matter that the background music isn't itself any kind of copyright violation.

This isn’t entirely true. Pythons will happily eat a dead mouse. In fact, it’s even common to buy and store frozen mice and rats for small pythons. In my personal experience: 1) snakes that were fed frozen mice from a young age handle it better and 2) the mice needed to be microwaved or heated in some form. Generally, only my small ball pythons were frozen fed, though. My Burmese, carpets, and greens were all live fed.

Edit: first sentence referring to python eating patterns, to clarify.
