If something is defined or not is a property of the language specification, as you stated.

What you’re now bringing up is something different: should a specification define this behavior, or not? I think you’ve properly identified a trade off, but mid-identified the details. Defining a behavior here does privilege certain architectures, but it doesn’t make it impossible. It means the behavior must be replicated in code on some architectures, which is slower.

This is the trade off that Rust (and apparently Zig) are making. This is informed by the architectures that exist, and which ones are wished to support. At this point, two’s compliment is overwhelmingly used, and so the decision was made that defined behavior is worth it. Note the parallel here with POSIX specifying that CHAR_BIT must be set to 8.

Notably, the situation here is so overwhelming that even C++ is specifying two’s compliment: C++20 says that signed integers must be. This was recently voted in. I haven’t read the paper recently and I don’t remember if it changes the UB rule here or not, but it does define the representation of integers, a very similar thing that’s the motivation for UB here.

I would argue that scarcity has been eliminated for the past 20 years at least - the world overproduces all basic goods: food, steel, plastics, you name it.
We could hand out free meals to every starving child in the world and it would cost like 2% GDP at most.
If you want a general definition of prime, you would say that a prime is an element p which p|a*b implies p|a or p|b, with the additional restriction that p|1 is false (such elements are called “units”). This lets you extend the notion of “prime” to rings in general, including objects like polynomials or matrixes.

If you are curious about some of the details, we can add that “prime” is not quite the same as “irreducible”, although the prime elements and irreducible elements are the same in the more familiar rings.

The reason why “prime” doesn’t make much sense in Galois fields is precisely because it’s a field—technically, there are no primes in Galois fields, because every nonzero element divides 1, therefore every nonzero element is a unit, therefore not a prime. So there are no primes in Galois fields. This is mentioned in the article.
@harimau777 and theferalrobot regarding evolutionary timelines:

It appears we've been eating meat for about 2.5 million years. 12,000 years seems like the blink of an eye, relatively. Epigenetic research has definitely changed my notion of how rapidly we can adapt, but idk enough to have an opinion on how much we've changed in 12,000 years, or how much vegetarian momentum we managed to conserve over the 2.5 million years of carnivory.

Experiments have problems too. Let's say you successfuly blind people in a nutrition study (is this possible?). Randomized. How do you ensure they're following protocol? For how long? And who is adhering? How do you know you're manipulating what you think?

Experiments introduce control at the expense of generalizability, and some types of experiments more so than others.

Observational studies aren't perfect but they do have advantages, and in nutrition I wouldnt trust experiments more (maybe not less either to be fair).

We have plenty of experiments in animals for example and those arent much more interpretable, at least in nutrition.

Nothing is simple.

So, has anyone made a “old school smartphone dock”?

What I want is a dock I can put my smartphone into and then the old phone interface takes over. Preferably one with links to 1-2 other docks in the house so all three ring if I get a call.

Heh. I always like to challenge my ideas, if not from someone else then by myself. I don't think it is terribly healthy to be 100% sold on single ideas (or at least not to have thought about consequences).

The tariff idea was one that would work if everyone plays ball, but I'm not enough of an optimist to think that is going to work.

I wrote that without really thinking about the ramifications (until the second post). At which point, my pessimism won out.

Carbon tax could still work though (especially if it becomes a "carbon dividend" type plan). Probably it's biggest problem would be measuring carbon output.
There are people attempting to develop superhuman artificial general intelligence by making a single large neural network?

It's StackEexchange. Pronouns don't matter.
I've never seen a reason for this person pronouns to be used. No one's generalist are topic of conversation, and it's not a a gossip forum, so there is no reason to use third person pronouns to refer to users at all!

If this is true, it's damning:

> Now if I avoid pronouns altogether by sticking to proper names or disengaging from the individual, that's being considered an insult too.

The complaints seem to be about some proposed new rule requiring users to explicitly write other users' pronouns, for no other reason than as a performative display of respect. This is quite different from a rule that says "If a user states that they prefer pronoun X, don't use other pronouns."
Did your questions fit in a pattern of questions that SE fails at, or did they have straight-forward answers?

Not going to lie, I'm impressed that they pulled this off, and it's really, really cool!

It is interesting that something similar was the original concept for what turned into Space X. So it's not really an original idea.

I find it depressing that non-emergency helicopters are legal. The amount of noise they create to transport a few people ends up being a net negative on quality of life.
There's still large areas just 35 miles from DC that don't have high speed internet. The cloud is STILL just for people who never leave the range of high speed internet.
Yeah. The big thing for me is you'd want to discourage big shipping vessels burning bunker fuel. Even with equal pollution/labor standards, shipping something from china to the US probably shouldn't happen.

I could see an exception if nuclear powered shipping became a thing, but that isn't really likely (I wouldn't want a shipping company in charge of nuclear waste management). That leaves us with battery electric shipping and... well... that's a TON of batteries. Battery density would need to be WAY higher than it is (like, near fuel density)
I do sort of miss having a separate device for work, that work paid for, and that I could turn off when not on call. The two way pagers with the qwerty keyboard were pretty nice.
My friend has a BMW and the touchscreen is awful. I can't imagine using that thing to do anything while I'm driving. It looks like it was designed for someone to use on the comfort of their bed, where they can afford to mis-click, not know where the hell to find a page, etc.

The only reason I absolutely need a screen in a car is for visibility. Pretty much all the risk in parking/reversing is removed when your car has external cameras. The other functions don't make much sense to me. If you wanna play video games and watch movies while you're driving, it better be a smart car.

30min outside of rush hours. More like 1h in rush hours. If they can also cut down time needed to walk around SFO, it could be probably 1h+ win.

I'm not saying that this is a good business and they'll have lots of clients. But there's some possibility of it.
I understand SE respecting privacy by not publishing details about the firing. I don't understand Monica raising a complaint about being fired, giving a lot of background info, saying he knows why he was fired, but writing in tangles to avoid stating what he believes triggered the firing. If it's something about pronouns, or whatever it is, he should say so. Otherwise it's just "I was fired for something that they think is justified but I won't, but I won't say what, and I ask your support."
If Stadia and xCloud really do solve the latency issues inherent in client/server computing - and show that it's economical - one could almost imagine Microsoft launching a consumer version of this with a "terminal" that was little more than a screen, keyboard and network connection... Like Sun Microsystems reborn.

The whole concept would, of course, enrage certain sections of the populace including most of HN's readership, but I can see it happening.
You're right, it's unrealistic.
But the benefit value to the player is only miniscule if you ignore the biggest benefit, which almost no one includes:

The biggest benefit is the free 4-5 year top-of-the-line professional training camp.

(I didn't mention it above because I don't think this dollar amount should be counted against scholarships, if you could even calculate it.)

They're getting (upto) 5 years of intense training in their field, by teams of professional-grade coaches. All of their required equipment is paid for, facilities are free, they're being marketed to the pro scouts, traveling across the country, and they're getting all of this with free room and board.

It's really hard to put a true dollar amount on that, but the closest comparison in the professional world is a college degree. Which they should be getting, and at no cost to them.

When this is included, I think it balances out enough to be fair.

Or to put it another way... How many of these players could go pro without the benefit of college training. I'd argue very few. And by definition, fewer than the number who declare early for the draft, which is already a small number.

And I don't feel any more sympathies for them than I do any other startup millionaire that probably could have skipped college but didn't.

Tangent: I've also argued that being an athlete should/could be a degree in and of itself, given a properly designed program. It should include classes in kinesiology, dieting, health, financial management, speaking to the media, marketing yourself, etc. I think that would also solve many of these issues.
> "This advice applies to everyone, not just women."

Yes but women (on average) are making less money than men. And they are choosing majors which are less lucrative.

> "Wage disparity isn't solved by choose majors."

A large part of it is.

> "Wage disparity isn't even about making "more" money, it is about removing discrimination (explicitly or from the system in general)."

Yet we are constantly reminded by activists that women on average make less than men so there must be discrimination. We could eliminate all the discrimination in the world and the average woman would still make less than the average man given gender choice disparity when it comes to important things like careers and education. This article is taking a step back to remind us of that.

"In-depth chromatographic analyses of illicit cocaine and its precursor, coca leaves."

At this point I can't tell if you're trolling or just can't handle disagreement.

> And does that invalidate my point that some consumption of sugar is one way to keep the body functioning healthily

That certainly wasn't your claim. The above is a very vague statement that no one would disagree with.

You made the point that sugar is a naturally occurring substance, so I and others pointed out that being "natural occurring" is in no way sufficient to suggest that a substance is healthy or not, especially if the substance is refined (e.g. cyanide, ricin, cocaine, DMT, on and on..)

The ASR-9000 series can handle up to 3.2 Tbps of L3 traffic per linecard, but this is only achievable because of the dedicated routing ASICs.
Exactly.

Twitter is not an open protocol for sharing information. Thats what the internet is for. Twitter is just an advertising company that allows you to post content in exchange for hosting ads on that content.

Who they hire, is their business. If you don't agree with their (inconsistent and haphazard) editorial policies, just host your content elsewhere.

I think we need to stop giving Twitter so much power over the world by talking about it so much and start creating and using other platforms. Twitter has only 20% market penetration in the US.
> people who never leave the range of high speed internet

Which is a vast majority of the US population. I agree that it is important to get broadband access for everyone, but asking companies to hold back services and features until that happens makes zero sense.
> It was one of the most spectacular business failures of the last few decades, losing $4.5 billion in value.

...but they don't always. This makes the original statement sensationalist nonsense as it's happened multiple times (over the time period mentioned).

Valuation is screwed up in both "types" of businesses, but the methodology is irrelevant to the claim when it's apples to apples for the market.
There is ample evidence that:
- there is no physical embodiment of "free will"
- everything in the physical world is deterministic, although at the quantum level, "statistically deterministic with random sampling"

Thus, one cannot be said to "commit a crime," only that the particles in one's brain and one's body happened to be in a configuration and receive interactions with other stimuli such that those actions physically occurred.

We already know these things, but we ain't updating our justice system to account for this.
One practical way of imposing such limits might be to eliminate limited liability. If owners are directly responsible for corporate actions, that might provide a defacto limit on company size based on profitability, insurance costs and organizational control efficiencies. (And maybe the intrinsic possible externalities ofa particular business.)

Managing Azure Infrastructure with Sparrow6
I'd use this if someone made a good one! I'm currently using Transmission on Mac, which has more than its own fair share of issues, most notably the UI freezes in any action that takes time, like moving a file across hard disks or to a network drive, but IIRC all the others I have tried (Deluge, qBittorrent) also have multiple similar issues.
Me neither, and for this reason I tend to use this paper to see who pays attention. Best case: someone tracks down the missing paper(s).

I suspect it may be a joke Feynman played on us to prove a point. :)

Good catch.

No dear, you're just trying to legitimize the 'White Genocide, protect our pure race' Nazi rhetoric by playing the victim. (Nice co-opting of the word "gaslighting" by the way. Very convincing!)

Calling out your bullshit is not shouting abuse at you, and it's definitely not condoning it. And, for the record, people shout "Fuck Muslims" and similar sentiments all the time. With much greater frequency. Often right to my face.

So, welcome to the club buddy!

Edit: Also, this gem: "shouting 'fuck white people!' might get you a job"? This isn't Stormfront, be coherent.
Apparently if you add up all the C02 of the food you buy imported world wide and compare that to the C02 generated by driving down to the store to pick up that food it's the driving that produces much more CO2 than the food transportation. To me that's a surprising result that shows just thinking about what's going on is an unreliable guide to what really is going on.
I live within 15 miles of the main Microsoft campus in Redmond and only have access to shitty DSL. Microsoft has always taken the bet that everyone in the future will have access to high speed internet, but without ever raising a finger to make sure that future actually happens.
It depends on wether they act on it or not: do they have sex with children, treat black people at work as if they were stupid, or have problems working with jewish colleagues? Do their biases affect the workplace? To be clear, I believe that all our biases are present in the workplace, which is why the philosophy behind separation of power should apply, somehow. That being said, I'd never campaign or ask for the firing of a colleague because they held some racist ideas (I'm black), unless their actions or our interactions reflected said racist ideas.

I want to live in a free society where it's okay to be wrong.
This case is making the case for a specialist, it's just worded poorly. There's a case to be made for such folks, there's a case to be made for generalists... and if you're super smart with tons of memory you can be a T shaped person. It doesn't matter which path you choose, you can thrive in any of them.

I see this as an epistemological failure in nutrition that plagues other fields as well. We have all this knowledge of human physiology and metabolism, and make very little use of it in nutrition, acting as though we can't draw logical conclusions from what we know about those things, or trust those conclusions, or at least use them to apply serious skepticism to the apparent implications of low-quality data.

For myself, until you can tell me by what means a particular food produces the claimed outcome, I dismiss your epidemiological nutrition study.

I asked a grass fed cattle rancher that question and he just said thats a hard question, but also grain fed will always be cheaper because they use a breed that can about grow twice as fast/large. I doubt those steers could get the same calorie intake from grass feeding. Which is a separate question from “if we used all land available for cattle grazing how much grass fed beef would we max out at”? I suspect not near the level of demand for beef unless we also took back huge areas of crops and forest.

I'm not talking about the near-work hypothesis (ie. "too much close work causes myopia"), but the related idea that "not enough far work causes myopia."

And this perfectly fits the article's findings.

Anecdotally, a few of my friends are into sailing, in a 'crewing a large sailing ship' sense, and apparently some have seen noticeable improvements to their myopia after being out at sea for a couple of weeks and spending a lot of time staring at the horizon.
to be fair, it's dangerous even in the best hands. mistakes happen but business processes need to be in place to prevent catastrophes...

It's an interesting article if true, though written by an anti-meat activist[1], which is even less useful than nutrition studies sponsored by the pork board.

Feel free to be appalled; most normal people don't care about the "suffering of cows" either.

I don't think you should get points for saying "we should do this impossible thing, that would be better."

When everyone else seems happy to accept that a picture of a piano is a piano, maybe you should get points for pointing out that the Emperor's New Clothes are lacking many important features.
I have a friend who works at a big Corporation (100k employees) where everyone has a thin dumb client and windows desktop running on a server. It works great, except video stutters if not small sized. Way of the future? Its an efficient way to pool resources, and prevents people physically stealing data.
The idea is very compelling but..public markets are not dumb markets, they are insanely competitive and liquid. IPO'ing is by no means a guarantee of success.

The only ones that are actually dumb are index funds, and they are huge, but not enough of a force to make a bad company into an easy sell.
There’s a minor problem here, since the coefficients aren’t being taken from a finite field (the digits 0..9 don’t form a finite field).
