It helps to look into the Casimir effect, and in particular the dynamic aspect of it.

If I understand correctly, there is a repulsive force on the matter on either side of the gap that is a consequence of vacuum fluctuations within the gap, and I gather that in this case, it is the electromagnetic fluctuations (the formation and dissolution of virtual photons) that is the dominant source (despite this being electromagnetic, it is not black-body radiation from the matter on either side of the gap.) The force is a function of the width of the gap, as virtual photons with a wavelength greater than the gap cannot form, so as the gap narrows, a growing spectrum of photons are excluded, and the repulsive force decreases[1]. Consequently, any motion of one side of the gap results in a varying force on the other. In this case, the motion is from thermal fluctuations, but it could also be the result of sound, so they are also saying sound could travel through a vacuum.

Given the difficulty of demonstrating the additional heat flow experimentally, I am skeptical that it will have "profound implications for the design of computer chips and other nanoscale electronic components where heat dissipation is key", at least until we are working at even smaller scales.

[1] As the effect is usually presented, with two plates close together, the force on the gap side of the plates is less than that on the open sides, so the net force acts to pull the plates towards one another.

Once something is shipped, people will rely on it. For example, quite famously, Youtube did for a very long time (until this year IIRC). AMP used to use it.

There are several polyfills available. Several Polymer versions targeted v0. Etc. etc.

It's not specifically Google's fault that they are removing support for these, but, once again, that's the state of the world: browsers are lrage complex platforms that may and will break your app.
In the context of this thread, my point was that the gig economy is not a sufficient replacement for casual labor, because there's a lot of people in precarious situations who could get day-labor work but can't make themselves presentable enough (whether in terms of grooming or socialization) to be accepted in the gig economy.
I have the reverse opinion. I find jetbrain users are so eager to extract the dollar value from their IDE that they try to shoe-horn the use of every available feature into their workflow just because they exist, whereas with vim, the features I use are a laser focused toolset I have accumulated over the years based on the need to solve specific problems. Vim accommodates my desired workflow while many jetbrains users attempt to shift their workflow into webtstorm's feature-set.
The term "scare quotes" is not synonymous with "scary quotes" - it refers to quotation marks added in order to distance the author from the source of the words, exactly as you describe.

I think this is a knee-jerk overreaction. Poor people can be alcoholics, and rich people can be alcoholics. But rich people tend to have a lot of luxuries that poor people don't, and those luxuries make it easier not to lean on alcohol as a dependency to get by.

The biggest predictor of recovery from an addiction is whether or not the addict has a safety net. Rich people can buy a safety net (if they don't have close friends, they can pay for life coaches, therapists, and more). Poor people either have it or they don't.

I could easily believe that genetic predisposition to addiction is the same regardless of wealth (I'd actually be somewhat surprised if it weren't true), but the reality is that rich people have a lot more support to help them through their struggles than poor people.
> The catch is that wealthy people don't suffer like poor people do when they drink

I'm not sure what the implication here is - that wealthy people can afford better healthcare? Or that wealthy people have superior biology that allows them to ignore the chemical effects of ethanol?

If the former, what kind of healthcare are wealthy people getting that nullifies the effects of ethanol?
I wish the UHK had a few more keys. I wish there was an Esc key.
It's the latter, ie there's a more fundamental quantum effect going on.

The Casimir effect is an effect between two conducting plates separated by only a vacuum. Strange as it may sound, there is a force generated between the two plates which is dependent on the distance between them.

My quick take on the article is that phonons cause a microscopic change the distance between the two plates, which allows transmission of phonons across the vacuum gap.

I feel like that ship sailed a while ago with Photoshop being around. I think the problem now is you can do the same with videos and the technology is more commoditized so you don’t have to be very knowledgeable to do these things.
Haha, no doubt his career is not free of blemishes.

I disagree on the second point. Lyotard’s The Postmodern Condition is imo the most important work on epistemology of the last century.
If anything, I drink only for taste and loathe how the alcohol makes me feel. I love the taste of a good beer or cocktail, and often regret that it's alcoholic, since I have to drink less to be responsible with my health.
They may also be referring to the third party ones that people use before posting to Insta. Facetune possibly being the most well known.
I drink modestly expensive single malts for the taste. Usually I don't like feeling the buzz at all, so I keep it to about half an ounce and sip it over the course of an hour.
Pro-Indian 'fake websites targeted decision makers in Europe'
I was saying something like that for a long time now, but recently I started thinking that it's even more on an non-issue than I thought. I mean, what I was saying is that "yeah, this is all new and weird, but when everybody started using Photohop it was also weird, and yet we are moving on".

But recently I read "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", and I thought that the point Borges was making could be easily described as critique of "fake-news post-realism of today", except it was 80 years ago. And while the notion of this problem not being new at first seemed weird to me, eventually I figured this is pretty natural: while 80 (or 800 for that matter) years ago there wasn't any such tools to manipulate information on that scale, nobody had the access to information on that scale in the first place. So anyone could be fooled by more powerful actor anyway. Offensive tools of any time are roughly the same as the defensive tools.

It's just that these 20 years at the turn of the century were somewhat the sweet spot, when we had this "Internet for people like us", so it was us who was fooling the less knowledgeable people, while keeping the belief that we are relatively safe from being maleficently disinformed by somebody else. And now we can clearly see it's not necessarily the case anymore, ao it feels like something new.

But it really isn't. As always.
Could it be possible that the heating of a conductor causes an induced magnetic field? I'm curious about the experimental design, but I wonder if the heating of one plate would create a current(via the Seebeck effect) and magnetic field which induces current in the other plate.
Why, enthusiasts of course!

Always lots of pushback when anyone suggests limiting alcohol. Defensiveness, projection, anger are common. Has to be a reason for that.
The first book is great but the sequels are awful. So yeah
I think the nature of drinking has changed to where the impacts may have gotten more severe. We’re now combining drinking with anti depressants, pain killers, energy drinks, different diets, higher obesity rates, thc, etc. There is a tremendous momentum behind drinking culture in a lot of places, but we have have a glimpse of what the coin pound effects and long tail consequences are.
Universal Website Translator
Over this past year I had the idea to build a sort of a website translator what would work universally well on every website. There have been lots of problems with it in the past since websites are fragmented in WordPress, Shopify, Joomla and other CMSes.

So I built ConveyThis. It uses machine translator and a proxy technology to imitate the translation layer. Works flawlessly.

Here's an example Conveythis link: https://www.conveythis.com/ - I use Stripe and PayPal for payments.

I think it has some potential. What do you guys think?

It would be impossible to have any degree of control over the black market though. Unlike other drugs where you need difficult-to-obtain seeds or extremely convoluted chemical synthesis processes, alcohol can be made by accident with stuff you normally buy at the grocery store.

Are they going to make grape juice illegal, too?

I don't understand your question.

I think you're asking if APL and/or J supports a sparse matrix representation, such that the one-liner scales as expected for the Tarjan algorithm.

As I wrote, I don't know more than a trivial amount of APL, and cannot answer that question.

However, I infer that if that were the case then the links I pointed to would use a sparse array implementation and simple one-liner, instead of the 30 or so lines of APL.

Perhaps pavlov, as the next Supreme Dictator of Tech, could show us an appropriate whiteboard interview solution for this problem in APL?

Imagine a sci-fi story where you encounter human settlement that consumes solvent that is known to causes violence and accidents and is addictive carcinogen. The inhabitants use various methods to add little taste into it, bottle it into fancy bottles. Sophisticated solvent enthusiasts recognize different tastes and treat solvent fruit juices as the highest form of sophisticated hedonism.

Alcohol as a solvent is very similar to many inhalants as a drug. Closer to paint thinner than nitrous oxide. Similar cultural affection to hallucinogens, pot or even pure methamphetamines would be less harmful.

Some things are hard to perceive odd when it's everyday phenomenon. Women wearing high-heels is be another very odd cultural artifact.
I’m pretty sure no amount of alcohol is safe. I remember before college (in other words: before all the binge drinking.) I felt bad weeks after I had just a glass of wine.
Maybe find a different dojo?

I've seen the same with yoga, crossfit, cycling, dance, etc.

I'd argue those teachers shouldn't be teaching.

Yes, the martial arts are way more injury prone. (My SO tore a shoulder muscle working a punching bag.) But it doesn't have to be the norm.
Hi, I'm the author of Spacehammer. You may want to check development branch of the project. There are some major improvements. Sadly I've been swamped with work lately and having trouble finding more time to work on it.

Once I figure that out, I'm planning to experiment on a bunch of new things and improve existing features.

It was never that expensive to manufacture fake text. Minorly expensive to manufacture fake images.

And we've been hit by tabloids, spam and so on before. None of that is new. Overwhelmed by content is/was/will be a problem that is solved very simply: people limit the distribution lanes they consume, and naturally establish "trust networks" and hierarchies.

Nyt didn't become "trusted" by accident. People aren't as dumb as you seem to think.

Anyways the problem is of distribution, not that a lie can be told. If we can't trust our distribution lanes to actually reflect the institutions we're trusting, then we can't establish our trust networks.

And this is a real problem: our distribution lanes are divorced now from our actual information distrubuters; medium, Facebook, Twitter, etc fuck around with our trust networks, randomly injecting their own bullshit into our feeds and messing around with feed-order based on non-trust metrics (eg money paid) such that they've become fairly unreliable.

And our classical trustable institutions have become less trustworthy, as they flounder about trying to make sense of the "digital age", and have so far done so in a pathetic fashion
I’m interested to see how this plays out. I subscribed to LTT on Floatplane a couple of weeks ago but the lack of iOS app combined with the kind of unfinished feel of the website made the experience not very pleasant.

I really like the idea of paying for content though.

Which gives the "withhold" part of the story a strong push towards Hanlon's Razor, once the topic escalated to higher ranks the copyright ceased to be a hindrance.

Or more precisely, towards an organizational variety of Hanlon's Razor, where stupidity takes the form of the organizational failure mode of underlings not being authorized to do what would have been the right thing.

Curiously, a less colloquial formulation of Hanlon's Razor would replace stupidity with incompetence and this, when translated to German contains a hint of a precisely matching double entendre: in German, "Kompetenz" is used for two separate things. For being able to (like in English) and being authorized to. It's not a full double entendre because the negated form "Inkompetenz" is exclusive to the mental ability, just like the English counterpart, but what's a good aphorism without subtle extra layers?
According to the article they didn't know about it.
I think everyone wistfully pining for an era without Agile forgets how many software projects were flat-out abandoned without seeing release after a few years of dev work. Software development was not a "hot profession" until Agile came along and a software product was no longer a multi-million dollar commitment to get money coming in the door. We all owe the success of the industry to Agile / iterative development, because most of the projects that keep us employed never would have gotten off the ground in a pre-Agile world.

One of the oldest cliches in software development is "faster, better or cheaper -- pick two". The prevalence of Agile basically means that "faster and cheaper" is the default answer to this question. If you want "better," the CMMI still exists (and is still heavily used in defense / aerospace).

There isn't actually a set number of rounds, I think it mostly depends on how long the rounds take. (I think there's about 15 minutes playing time for the first round.) I haven't rewatched an episode to keep track, but my guess would be it's about four five-letter words and four six-letter words. After that, there's always one seven-letter word (in which both teams take turns making guesses).

That would make sense, at least for the people paying the costs themselves.

The economics change with insurance coverage. Once I hit my deductible, why do I care how expensive it is? At that point, might as well get my money’s worth out of my insurance company.

The last time I need non-routine care, the only thing I cared about was:

2. Is this doctor/hospital in-network?

My original response was to this [1]

> I think it's much easier to block a thread with C#'s async programming model than node's...

Which spawned a discussion in which people seemingly think that you can't block a thread in node, or that since node is async it means it's not single-threaded etc.

Since it is single-threaded, it's quite possible that the original post wouldn't need 4000 node instances otherwise (emphasis mine):

> We were running 4,000 Node containers (or "workers") for our bank integration service. The service was originally designed such that each worker would process only a single request at a time. This design lessened the impact of integrations that accidentally blocked the event loop

No, and unfortunately you won't find it anywhere since it was an internal issue. I'm intentially avoiding naming the game as I don't think this was publicized anywhere before.
I think it is the other way around: mainstream news organizations will cry fake news to delegitimize bloggers and amateurs. If everything is easily faked, the only ones to trust with the truth, are the entrenched media companies. Powerful people will be the first to benefit from fake media, when they can claim that the video evidence must be fake ("They photoshopped my arm around her waist!").

The best generator and the best detector are actually part of the same model! If you create a better detector, you are making the generator better at the same time so you have not accomplished anything.

"GANs are a clever way of training a generative model by framing the problem as a supervised learning problem with two sub-models: the generator model that we train to generate new examples, and the discriminator model that tries to classify examples as either real (from the domain) or fake (generated). The two models are trained together in a zero-sum game, adversarial, until the discriminator model is fooled about half the time, meaning the generator model is generating plausible examples."
