Of course wall engineering is going to be a problem with boron fusion. Any very hot plasma will emit photons, and H-11B plasmas will emit them even more than DT plasmas (because the rate of emission increases rapidly with the charge of the nuclei). In fact, a H-11B plasma will normally emit photons faster than it can reheat itself from fusion. LPP makes noise about making tiny knots of plasma that are so dense and ultramagnetized that this doesn't happen -- but as those knots expand, the supposed effects that suppress radiation would die away, and out would pour the photons.
Nice.

Recursive functions are possible in a total system as long as the recursion depth is bounded. The original Boyer-Moore theorem prover (1978) had that. You had to prove termination for every recursive function by giving a depth value, which could be a function of the inputs. For example,

(times x y)

defined as

(if (zerop x) 0 (add (y (times (sub1 x) y))

would have a depth limit of "x". (Note that in this world, x and y are nonnegative integers and (sub1 0) is 0.)

There's a lot to be said for working with total functions and finite arithmetic. No undecidability, no halting problem.
No, I think your posts are often unnecessarily unpleasant and I thought the obvious hypocrisy here might cause a brief moment of self-awareness.

I think storage is probably too costly to implement

But they can readily "become a PayPal" by bundling a digital ethereum wallet like metamask in the browser by default. Even if it's limited to max $50 / month, it could revolutionize the way we consume web content. And it also acts as an anonymous digital identity. Both ethereum and firefox enjoy trust by the community, that helps. But, we re more likely to see these from another browser like brave.

> How do you get from $15,000 to $40,000 without annualised growth? I'm intrigued.

With a 25% annual increase while no QE was running (2005-2008), a 75% annual increase with QE(2009-2012), a 0% increase with no-QE (2012) followed by a 30% drop when QE3 was launched! (sept 2012), then a little decline during the whole QE3 and which continued after QE3 was stopped (Q4 2014) until 2016, then again some fluctuation in an upward trend.

If you see a temporal correlation between QE and the price of gold, I can do nothing for you as you are blinded by your ideological convictions.

Good day.
You're right! The book does not address the second difficulty at all. I agree that vocabulary is important, and reading a couple of paragraphs is in fact really productive (thank you for the link suggestion btw), however, in my opinion, having the gramatical understanding of the language will prove really helpful in reading. There are subtle changes in words depending on what role they fulfil in the sentence; trying to "just" memorize them without correlating it with the sentence aspects will be harder than to understand the wholeness of the process. Also, understanding how German builds much of its vocabulary leads to learning more vocabulary faster!
I was referring to driving a vehicle IRL - just in case that wasn't clear. Some gimmes: brake lights are usually horizontal to one another, and red. If you're driving towards bright white lights, or they are vertically aligned, something has probably gone wrong...

I feel like to succeed here, you need to make an offering that can immediately run either a mainline Linux kernel or a totally open fork (with the intent of getting committed to mainline) and making sure all the major toolchains can build and run on it.

Unless there's a minimum friction to migrate, most companies won't make the effort even if they can save a few $100 per server. It takes me back to Intel's VLIW attempt with Itanium/EPIC. Even when they got compilers up to snuff, too many high end tasks (video encoding) either required special instructions or were written in assembly that couldn't easily be ported to EPIC instructions.
I can say, based on proving new NP-completeness complexity theorems and also optimal algorithms in my CS Theory PhD thesis, it's like a little orgasm light turned on in my brain for about 36h.

Pihole does not make use of dnsmasq's build in option to block entire domains (address=/ads.com/::). This list is also optimized because hostnames that match a domain filter are not included, reducing the size a lot.
Single underscores outside of the global namespace are perfectly fine in C++ (_foo is a common naming notation for members).

Using double underscores in identifiers is dangerous as you risk colliding with implementation macros or builtin, but of course if you make the identifier long enough the risk is minimal.

But defining a double underscore single letter identifier and the using it for a macro is really inexcusable.

What difficulty (or subpar experience) are you running into with CRC? Initially it was a bit weird, but getting up and running is fairly simple.

1) Go to Red Hat’s cloud site (linked on GitHub) and download the latest CRC release and your pull secret.

This does require having at least an empty Red Hat account, which may bother some.

2) Extract the release and run `crc setup` and let it do it’s thing.

3) Run `crc start -p /path/to/pull/secret` and wait for it to finish getting up and running. First time this may take 10 minutes, follow up starts 4. You can pass other options as well as needed.

4) Run `eval $(crc oc-env)` and start working with developer:developer credentials (or the provided kubeadmin creds). Use `crc console` to get to the WebUI.

We use this on Linux and macOS here just fine for local development and testing. As always, though, YMMV. CRC still has some other quirks that need to be ironed out, but it is generally useable. So far for us the weird parts are the limited self-signed certs and lack of cluster metrics, but both are known issues to the project. And that you can’t have a VPN process running as the startup will restart network services on your system.

There are some video games that also do it for me. Super Hexagon, One Finger Death Punch, Guitar Hero/Rock Band, Geometry Wars are the big ones.

These are all games that require some type of intense focus but where I surely begin making mistakes the moment I consciously think about my actions in the game. Sometimes this means getting in the zone and not thinking about anything at all, but sometimes my mind is instead allowed to wander it a way it doesn't normally, and without judgment.

Is there even a fight left?

Chrome was the newer, faster, better working option when the average user was acclimating to the web as a constant part of their lives. To a degree, Chrome became a status symbol - knowing to ditch IE and download chrome was a mark that you were minimally web and computer savvy.

For the average person to switch away from Chrome, FF would need to have an overwhelming advantage - and I'm not sure privacy is the place where the average user will register that advantage. With 100 other companies stealing and selling their data at any given time, why should they worry about their web browser?

Growing economic inequality, if left unchecked, is going to make this an increasingly tough proposition. Wonder why the author of the article did not focus instead on encouraging older folks to be "a little more kind" by, for example, rescinding all of the exclusionary zoning laws that are making it so difficult for younger people to buy their first home? After all, what would be a better way to set an example for their children than practicing what the author is asking them to preach.
I can't imagine how a dropped car seat could break. All the ones I've seen are made from very very strong plastic.
Fair enough. But let me tell you a story: one of childhood friends was very well off and had a bunch of MTG cards. His decks were always very good (for a 11 year old). One time a new kid at the school came over to his house with us. The kid said: can I have some magic cards, you have so many? And my friend said: I didn’t get so many by giving them away.

Anyways, maybe not that profound, but the memory has stuck. By sweating the cents, you get the dollars. And there’s another saying that is different from yours that I heard my dad say constantly: every penny counts.

1. "This is the first time any major cloud service provider has publicly offered customers the opportunity to run their data on an accelerator from any of the dozens of AI chip startups"

No. Google purchased an AI chip startup around 2015 and since February 2018 you could use TPUs on their cloud. The TPU is a hardware accelerator for AI and matrix multiplication.

2. The TensorFlow values in their diagram are "* estimated" which I guess makes sense because TensorFlow & TPU is the biggest competitor to Graphcore. Thanks to XLA, TF2 tends to be a few percent faster on GPU than PyTorch. For example, see here: https://wrosinski.github.io/deep-learning-frameworks/

3. They compare Graphcore against GPU, but the real comparison target here would be other accelerators, e.g. TPU. Graphcore comes out similarly fast as a V100, meaning it would be roughly 50% slower than a TPU.

Kay was into discrete-event simulation. There's a nice example of that on an Alto, a little hospital queuing simulation, in "Personal Dynamic Media". That concept comes from Simula-67, a variant of Algol-60 used for simulation.

It turns out that discrete-event simulation isn't used much, and that async model isn't all that useful for other things. If you've never seen a discrete-event simulation, here are some in Flash, of Disney ride line management.[1]

Sure, but there's some downsides to that. If a part in my car fails, the mechanic pulls it out and bolts in a new one without much consideration for the rest of the system. If a part of my body fails, there's a slim chance I might be able to get a replacement from another person, and I'll have to be on immuno-supressents for life, and very expensive people will be needed to perform the installation, and things often go wrong even so.

The house I'm living in has been around 30+ years, but in the last 5 years, I've witnessed several trees in the yard die.

I guess what I'm saying, is there is a trade off between easy to understand and fix (orderly) and resiliency(biological), and even then I see a lot of orderly things outlast the chaotic systems.

Smokers lungs experience something like 1000x more radiation than a visit near Chernobyl. My dad was a student of von Neumann. In the 50's it was fashionable to smoke, drink martinis, and drink lots of coffee, and exercise was for chumps. My dad didn't live even as long as von Neumann, and died of a heart attack.
What makes you think von Neumann got any exposure in labs? He was a mathematician, not any sort of experimentalist.

The idea that his cancer came from fallout is just moralizing nonsense, the silly logical error of thinking that the universe operates in a way that punishes badness.
For me, “Step 6” on this page is the first step. I get started working on something! All this organizing and planning would be a great way for me to put off actually working on the projects. I’m constantly working on projects. Multiple nights a week. I suppose I should mention that I have no kids and I work 20 hours a week for my job, meaning I have a lot of “extra” hours in the week for my own personal work.

Also I’m not saying the authors view is wrong - everyone is different. And certainly my work situation is rare. I am not a planning person (my job as a prototyping engineer meshes well with this). So if all this Kanban stuff is too much for you, consider just working on stuff! :)

Anyway whatever the approach I’m glad this author is communicating what works for them about projects. A lot of people I talk to struggle with this.
The number of roles with no or effectively no Powershell cmdlets is staggering, and remote MMC require punching a dozen holes in the firewall when it even works. Even then there are many roles like iis and adfs that are still effectively broken with no gui.
Yes using the 'city' analogy - the 'city' might be the entire of the AWS stack, where as the 'building' might be what is produced by the 2-pizza team. And the code produce by that team (like the building) should be tidy as much as possible, except where there is a genuine need to get performance and that requires making things a bit messy.
And in an accident a car seat has all the force transferred through just 2-3 points of contact with the seat belt or isofix points.

I would replace my kids seats after any accident with airbags or pretensioners firing.
I guess the follow-on might be "Why 50 ohms for 10b2 Ethernet, which isn't microwave band?"
That’s a terrible talk! In particular, why on earth is the car seat moving forwards in the crash test? Most car seats I’ve seen are essentially bolted to the rest of the seat. Is this a Europe / USA thing?
I have no idea why you're getting down-voted. It is unlikely for average Germans to have a salary of 10000Euros a month. Not even for people working in lucrative fields such as software. On top of all this, the government just gives out money to some other institution while working class people bear so much of the burden. This is harassment.
But is that based on research performed, or just a "better safe than sorry" statement? Have they (or anyone) ever seen a seat fail prematurely or perform worse due to being involved in multiple accidents? That page doesn't have any more information other than that statement. I'm having a difficult time imagining what parts of a car seat would be damaged during a crash (where the seat itself is not impacted). One exception is if car seats are designed to deform, crush, etc. to absorb energy, like a bike helmet is. But I've never seen anything like that.

Also, when trying to decide whether a second-hand car seat is safe, you're multiplying the probability of a seat being damaged in an accident, by the probability that the damage will significantly reduce the safety of the seat, by the probability that the seat being sold was in an accident. I understand if a parent would rather just buy a new one and not worry about this. But I see this as being a near-zero risk.

edit: I see that some child car seats do use EPP foam, which could possibly get permanently compressed during a severe impact.

The Actor Model has been used in many important large applications [Bonér and Reisz 2017, Cesarini 2019]. In order to implement next generation Reusable Scalable Intelligent Systems [Hewitt 2019], the following extensions to Erlang are needed:

* Automatically reclamation of storage of an unreachable future [Baker and Hewitt 1977] (e.g. process in Erlang). For example, an Erlang process can be orphaned if its Process Identifier becomes inaccessible.

* Language support for holes in the region of mutual exclusion of an Actor implementation. For example, in Erlang it is necessary for application programmers to explicitly code a message handler for each re-entry into the region of mutual exclusion potentially enabling cyberattacks from outside the process.

* Automatic cancellation of requests that have taken too long. For example, in Erlang it is necessary for application programmers to explicitly code a time-out for each message send that might take too long.
There is also another story [1]. That standard air-core coax lines were built using regular plumbing pipes in US. As the impedance of a coax is proportional to log(inner diameter of the shield/outer diameter of the core) this generated standard impedance around 50 ohms for many different tube configurations.

(10 minutes later)

However, I just calculated this for standard copper tubing size [2] and this probably is just a myth, except for few specific tube sizes like 1/4+5/8 or 1.5+3.5 inches.

For some reason, tubing is still mostly given in inches and neither its OD nor ID correspond to tube size. OD is always 0.125in larger than tube size.

Clearly an ML system is not perfectly accurate here! That is known to happen from time to time.

Once upon a time, Google autocorrected "she invented" to "he invented".

It does raise the question though, that bias is in the real-world data. Why should a search engine ignore the real world to paint a happier picture?
It's for that reason that I consider the first one to be the more efficient and 'chaotic' design despite the straight lines. It's optimised for production, repair or replacement in the field using nothing but metal stock, a welder, saw, and a drill, or indeed can be manufactured by hand by a blacksmith. It screams form over function.
Not exactly. There is an implicit expectation of truth when searching on Google, sort of like an encyclopedia. The interference happens when the results do not match reality.

Try these yourself to see how this can change public opinion: Google: "is abortion good or bad" returns almost entirely pro-aborion results. Do the same on Bing and you get actual results such as "Is abortion a good or bad thing?"
