OK, I agree that finding a non-CA way of computing physics doesn't necessarily rule out a future CA model being better.

Current physics models (integrating the Schrödinger equation) aren't computable even in principle, because they involve infinite continuous vector spaces. So a CA model is a theoretical breakthrough because it's computable, even if it's not efficient.

Numerically integrating the Schrödinger equation scales exponentially in the number of quantum states, while the CAs proposed in NKS only scale with the volume of space, so there is some size of system where it'll beat numerical integration.

Unless I’m missing something, the in-memory backend here appears to actually use the set solution: all of the triple fields are concatenated together and used as a dictionary key. Queries iterate through the dictionary entries until a sufficient number of results have been located.

On the other hand, I’m not really familiar with Go, so I may be reading it wrong.
Adapting to +8C will be a lot more expensive than reducing moderately to hit +4C and adapting to that.

And the only way to limit to +4C IMO is to try and limit to +2C and inevitably missing.

Colleges probably place too much weight on, say, the SAT (which is, I presume, that to which you are referring), but they still use more. Years of report cards, letters of recommendation, extracurriculars, essays, AP exams, SAT subject tests, ACT, personal interviews, "soft factors", and other things that aren't disclosed. I agree it's certainly not perfect, and think it needs improvement, but personally can't think of a way to easily filter the huge numbers of applicants without quantifiable metrics.

Curl can also handle cookies using the -c and -b flags. I wrote a simple dungeon crawler whose user-side "client" is a single line of bash, and the game server is stateless - the entire game state gets stored in the cookie:

(just make sure you don't have an important file called "k" in the directory you run it in, or it will get overwritten)
>..."might increase the risk of gallstone disease"...

I do 18:6 intermittent fasting and I did have a gallstone episode. My intuition is that fasting precipitated the expulsion of stones that had formed prior to the onset of my fasting regimen. Also, while practicing intermittent fasting, I think I have a tendency to overeat during my main meal of the day, maybe as a subconscious attempt to avoid feeling hungry later on. To avoid overeating, I need to be mindful to stop eating while I still feel slightly hungry.

The following blog post is consistent with my experience:

LA already has the people and density to make transit useful. If everybody rode transit instead of driving (I mean everybody - your trash hauler would take your trash to the dump on transit!) there would be enough riders to profitably run the transit system LA needs for this to work. Of course everybody riding transit in that way isn't practical, but there is no reason with more investment in transit system AL couldn't get more riders.

Seriously? Space solar is all multijunction, a totally different, far more expensive product than single-junction consumer cells. (Multiple junction cells have a higher conversion efficiency than single junction cells, so they're smaller and lighter, but they cost 10-100x more, since they're a low volume specialty product)

Solar city, if it ever actually made solar panels, would never make multi-junction ones.
They have ensured by design that what remains of proprietary firmware on the phone can't be updated, because they want a FSF Free hardware certification, and that's the only way to get that and have non-free firmware components. Not updateable non-free firmware is tolerated as being "part of the hardware" in a way, updateable firmware is software and required to be open.
He says that Steel (and some other materials) are the most important issue because we don't yet have any proven good or easy way to reduce the CO2 impact of their production.

That leads me to the opposite of Gates' conclusion.

At this point there are many low hanging fruit, so until we have a good way to address steel production, we should keep the focus on those other measures.

We should certainly be doing research on the issue that he is focused on, but we shouldn't let ourselves get distracted by it.

Getting to zero carbon emissions overall (the goal he brings up to justify his focus) is a great long-term goal but I think our success in this challenge will be determined in the short and medium term.

I also like reading in my feed reader, which is basically like a automatic offline "reader view" with automatic "read this article" marks. Because of that I quite early decided to never subscribe to a feed which doesn't give me the full article. So I don't ever have this problem. I basically feel that there is so much good content to read out there which I can get delivered to my rss reader directly that I don't really need to jump though the hoops and clicking on 'read more' links and adapting to badly designed websites with really small fonts and gray on white text colors.

Which proprietary firmware?
There's three necessities I see in a green scale initiative: carbon tax, nuclear, and sequestration (CC).

I also have a hard time taking anyone serially if they don't talk about how we need a diversified energy portfolio nor understand the difficulties of energy density. I feel like many repeat popular points but do not spend time trying to understand. I think that's how we get politicians that consider climate change as one of their top priorities saying that geoengineering and CC are "false solutions". I also don't know any climatologist who isn't pro nuclear (which means nuclear + renewables, not nuclear vs renewables).

The IPCC endorses the use of nuclear power too[0]. Being anti nuclear seems to me, as a scientist, anti-scientific. Since it is against what the scientists studying this are recommending.

IIRC, there was a criminal referral made by the judge during the (civil) Uber v Google proceedings. It probably took time for the grand jury to be set up and complete its investigations after that.
Of course there is.
On this side of the world usually it's vice versa. Developers start building on cheap land with little infrastructure. Then increasing population forces government to improve infrastructure decades later. By the time construction is done, it's already outdated and overcrowded.

Even if it happens your way... Is it wrong that an interesting location opens up at the end of new road? E.g. a restaurant or trailhead? Yes, it would increase traffic. But on the other hand, this would also let people do things.
Indeed, anytime I move something on the screen at an angle for a distance, I have to do a quick check to remember whether the horizontal distance is sin or cos. I do this probably half a dozen times a month. (I'm not a quick learner.)

I was kind of surprised that the article used circular motion as its main motivating point, since I feel like just moving at some angle is so much more common.
Scheduled tasks are a great way to brown-out your downstream dependencies.

In one instance, MDAM RAID checks caused P99 latency spikes first Sunday of every month [0] (default setting). It caused a lot of pain to our customers until the check was IO throttled, which meant spikes weren't as high, but lasted for a longer time.

Scheduled tasks are a great way to brown-out yourself.

In another case, the client process hadn't set a socket timeout on a blocking tcp connection [1] (default setting), and so it'd run out of worker threads blocked on recv routinely when the server (fronted by reverse-proxy) started rejecting incoming due to overload. Only a restart of the process would recover the client.

Scheduled tasks are a great way to prove HAProxy will scale way better than your backend. Thanks u/wtarreau

Speaking of HAProxy: It fronted a thread-based server processing all sorts of heavy and light queries with segregated thread-pools for various workloads. During peak, proxy would accept connections and queue work faster than the worker threads could handle, and on occasion, the work-queue would grow so big that it not only contained retries of same work scheduled by the desperate clients but a laundry list of work that wasn't valid anymore (processed by some other back-end in the retry path, or simply expired as time-to-service exceeded SLA). Yet, there the back-end was, in a quagmire, chugging through never-ending work, in constant overload when ironically the client wasn't even waiting on the other end and had long closed the connection. The health-checks were passing because, well, that was on a separate thread-pool, with a different work-queue. Smiles all around.

First time I have seen Syncthing. I am currently using Resilio Sync to sync my "Sites" directory across my iMac and MacBook Pro. Resilio seems to work well, but it has not been updated in a long time (running v2.6.3) and sometimes it uses nearly 100% of a single CPU core for no apparent reason for extended periods of time.

How does Syncthing stack up against Resilio?

How do you propose to decouple elementary schools and houses? Busing? We saw what kind of a disaster that was [0] [1].

Personally, I think on-line schooling is a better option. Internet is becoming broadly available, and it seems that serving every one the same curriculum (albeit with some adaptivity to what a student is doing better or worse on) seems the most viable way to make sure each student gets the same education, I would think. Then maybe provide a smaller staff at local schools with tutoring and counseling.

Online education does a good job [2], and has had good results, even in the third world [3] [4]. It of course needs further development, but I see no reason why it couldn't be a strong contender to mitigate this issue.

> I noticed that fasting doesn't help with BF at all unless I eat very clean and lift.

So what happens? You lose muscle and fat in the same ratio? Or do you keep the fat?
Depends on your definition of "runaway". If runaway = Venus, then no, there is no adapting to that.
You might too if the company who inspired you to dream and create tech invited you to demo and then treated you like a dog(possibly stole from u). I met with other names like Samsung, Intel, Black n Decker and no deal was made there too but I was treated respectfully with dignity!

I told my story for years here then last December lo and behold Ji Qie of MIT tells the same story I've told for awhile but with emails/evidence clearly showing Google getting caught stealing IP. She met with Google ATAP too!

Overall the narrative shouldn't be only about Anthony doing wrong rather he was mimicking what he witnessed and was taught (directly or indirectly) by his employer, Google to do; steal IP!

I got my Debian from a CDROM packed with PC Magazine back in 1998.

Unfortunately the disk was scratched and the installation was failing at the unpacking of one the deb packages.

I had no knowledge in tech other than some turbo pascal and ms dos batches scripting skills. I had no internet connection (it was too expensively). I had to do installation dual boot, to preserve the ms dos partition for the job of parents. I had almost zero knowledge in English. My PC was 4 years old 386dx with 4mb of ram.

However I did had spare summer vacation time at disposal.
It took every third evening this summer but just before school I was able to hack the installation to skip the bad debs and boot into the New magical OS.

And then yet another adventure of configuring the new world called Linux stared.
I'm personally very skeptical [as well]. I notice that almost nobody that recounts their fasting experience ever mentions sport.

I personally found very hard already to progress on weightlifting during diet cycles, as I need to cut on volume significantly; can't imagine to do that while fasting, unless fasting would "flip a switch" in how the (my) body works, which I doubt.
Cool. Now you have more job opportunities, can keep up with your friends further away and have wider choice of shopping/eating out/etc place. No need to stick to shitty place next door.
You can't compare Texas with literally acres of open space surrounding their cities to real states with actual population densities. Texas literally brags about how big they are and how much land they have. Come talk to me when Texas has less than 20% of it's population as cows unlike the 40% it's at now.
> The "wisdom" of the late 90s was that six or so small meals were better than one large meal, with respect to weight loss. Now it appears some experts would argue the opposite. Is it all just a bunch of smoke and mirrors over calories in > calories out?

Too true. It was trendy as recently as a decade ago to eat many small meals and frequently "to keep your metabolism high." What no one was acknowledging was how the study that showed the relationship between fasting and metabolism had participants basically starve themselves for an extended length of time.
Due to the constraints on understanding, I believe "fine print" in contracts carries zero moral weight. In order for Visa and Mastercard to credibly claim people have opted in, there needs to be an overt choice (no default already-checked option) as part of the direct card relationship, as well as specific consideration for that specific aspect of the relationship to remove any incentive to downplay the choice.

Furthermore, I do not view a person's associating with Visa/MC in today's society to be in any way voluntary - opting out is only possible at significant personal expense. So the mere existence of a business relationship also cannot be a basis for general consent. (As an aside: people generally do not contract with Visa/MC directly)

Taken together, these put "abuse" of a "business relationship" is in the exact same category as interjected actions by "third" parties - unwanted transgressions. They only feel different because we've become fatigued to accepting these transgressions when they pad someone else's bottom line.

And yes I am aware of the context of the discussion. I wouldn't personally do such a thing, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't applaud someone who did.

Yes. It's the reason why so many crimes are punished severely (e.g. think about how hard driving-under-the-influence is punished). If you did it enough to get caught, especially as part of an active investigation rather than being passively discovered, you probably did way more of it.
