You don't understand. In their mind they are not special. To a determinist, the way you feel about yourself is exactly how a fully deterministic being would feel because, in this theory, you are deterministic.

Ascribing to new theories doesn't change the world at all, they can only change your understanding of how the world already existed.
I'll give a shot at explaining isosurfaces in a little more detail.

The prefix iso- means "the same." An isosurface is a surface for which some value is the same at every point. Marching Cubes is used for creating a polygon mesh of a 3D isosurface, but it's easier to understand by first imagining the 2D case.

In two dimensions, you don't really have isosurfaces. As you lack the third dimension, you have isolines. You're probably familiar with those already when viewing terrain maps. The contour lines on terrain maps are isolines. They are drawn for some chosen height value(s) and as you trace along a line, every point on that line has the same height value. You can generate those lines using "marching squares", a 2D version of marching cubes.

I'm not terribly familiar with the details of the marching cubes algorithm, because I took one look at the tables I'd need to transcribe and decided not to implement it myself, but basically you split the world into a big grid. You query the values at the grid cell corners, and based on which corners are above or below the isovalue, you know what edges the isosurface passes through.

There's a table of shapes to that correspond to a given combination of corners in or out. For edges that have an intersection point with the isosurface, you then estimate its position on the edge by interpolating the two corners and finding the where it equals the isovalue.

The results of most VFX fluid simulations today are particles, and the distance to the nearest particle creates a distance field defined through all space. If you pick some distance value, you can then polygonize the isosurface with marching cubes. You'll probably also need a bit of smoothing, since otherwise the isosurface will be bumpy.

I'm not sure if films like Moana [1] actually polygonized their fluid isosurface before rendering it or if they directly solved the equation for the implicit surface during ray tracing, but the fact that I can't tell should give you some indication of the potential quality of the result.

Including use in urban poverty: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/07/health/antibiotic-resista...

Where antibiotics are handed out without prescription and people live in squalid conditions.

"70 percent of salmonella infections in Kenya had stopped responding to the most widely available antibiotics, up from 45 percent in the early 2000s."

"Even when the drugs are authentic, many poor Kenyans try to save money by buying just a few tablets instead of the full course — not enough to vanquish an infection but enough to allow bacteria to mutate and gain resistance."

The current population of Kenya is 50m, forecast to increase to 95m by 2050, and 156m by 2100.

Kenya also currently has the scientific output of Serbia, a country 14% the size. Its likely that Kenya will continue to import drugs developed in advanced nations, and internally produce only antibiotic resistance.

AB5 wouldn't affect you under the "Professionals" or "Professional Services" label. [1][2]

Software contracting is largely excluded especially freelance.

The employer would just have to follow the AB test which is beneficial to contractors:

Under the ABC test, a worker is presumed to be an employee unless the company proves that the worker:

(A) Is free from the control and direction of the company in performing work, both practically and in the contractual agreement between the parties; and

(B) Performs work that is outside the usual course of the company’s business; and

(C) Is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the work performed for the company.

If there was ever any issues with (C) which would be the only possible conflict, software/product/creative/engineers can get LLCs to to corp to corp contracting.

And how's that supposed to work? Every country has developed some form of transliteration to the Latin alphabet. Its simple enough that anybody can memorize these additional 26 letters. A form of least common denominator. Anyone on this planet can scribble down their email address on a piece of paper and equally type one on their computer. Now imagine you'd write down a Chinese email address with characters. How am I supposed to type it? How's the Chinese going to type in the Arab's address? If I receive a mail from them, how can I confirm it's really them from the address? I can't read Chinese! But the Arab and the Chinese can read the Latin alphabet.

Case in point: we have punycode for over a decade now. China has their own native TLD. Still pretty much every Chinese website out there gets created under the cn TLD or even com, and uses Latin characters only. How come?

Socialism is a buzzword in the US. Nobody's giving capital to workers.

Devils advocate but if all natural gas use was made obsolete by nuclear or some magic renewable... we’re still going to mine natural gas for the helium then as the primary product.

It's my understanding from reading some of Gerard t'hooft's work on superdeterminism that a superdeterministic theory underlying quantum mechanics would mean that quantum computers would be predicted to not have any advantage over classical computers (given equivalent clock-speed, etc) but Google's demonstration of quantum supremacy seems to disconfirm this prediction.

> That's quite a leap from 'I can read /etc/shadow' to 'I am root'.

Of all the leaps in that post, that's the least leapy thing. `shadow` exists precisely so that only `root` can read its content, whereas before said content resided in `passwd` which _needs_ to be readable by all.

I see only two possibilities here. Either the people who set up that compile service are complete morons and run said compile as actual root in an actual VM; OR, more likely, shit runs in a container with an _apparent_ id of 0 but no actual privilege outside its temporary environment.

fakeroot is not a sandbox, it's just a way to have tasks which normally expect to run as root (like setting file permissions during "make install", or creating a .tar.gz with the correct permissions) work without root. IIRC, it works through LD_PRELOAD, and it's very easy to bypass (just unset that environment variable).
To be fair, the integrated batteries can mostly be replaced. This is even easier than the proprietary casings manufacturers provided before, since you just need to match the correct voltage and a minimum current. You don't need a special casing that holds the battery.

Standardized detachable batteries would have been pretty nice of course.

But even if you buy a new battery from the manufacturer, it may already be 5 years old and degraded as well, since they would only be produced for a limited time frame. Today you just need to find one that is small enough to fit into your device and has the correct specifications.

So there are advantages and disadvantages for integrated batteries.
I think one feature of Kotlin that is underestimated is extension functions. Combine them with autocompletion and you've got a great developer experience. Finding the method you need no longer requires a Google, and optimisation pays off massively in terms of productivity by tightening the development loop.
It's not the kind of tech which people are largely interested in when they say fusion energy. But fusors are already built and used commercially, consuming energy to produce something else. Helium could just be another derived product, along with fast neutrons, radioactive isotopes, etc. You could "renew" all you needed, if you had no choice... it wouldn't be cheap, or as cheap, just like he says in the video about dwindling supplies. You don't really run out, it just gets really expensive.
Looks like this really won't affect software freelancing for engineering and creative services.

AB5 wouldn't affect services like these under the "Professionals" or "Professional Services" label. [1][2]

Software contracting is largely excluded especially freelance. Even if you needed to get an LLC you could get an out of state LLC for cheaper LLC if $800 in CA is too much, usually around $400-$800 when all setup fees are put in.

AB5 is largely a moot point for software/creative services beyond writing more than 35 articles a year.

Under the ABC test, a worker is presumed to be an employee unless the company proves that the worker:[2]

(A) Is free from the control and direction of the company in performing work, both practically and in the contractual agreement between the parties; and

(B) Performs work that is outside the usual course of the company’s business; and

(C) Is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as the work performed for the company.

If there was ever any issues with (C) which would be the only possible conflict, software/product/creative/engineers can get LLCs to to corp to corp contracting.

AB5 exemptions:

- Doctors (physicians, surgeons, dentists, podiatrists, veterinarians, psychologists)

- Professionals (lawyers, architects, engineers)

- Professional services (marketing, human resources administrator, travel agents, graphic designers, grant writers, fine artist)

- Financial services (accountants, securities broker-dealers, investment advisors)

Ask HN: How do you organise papers / documents / articles coherently?
I use Pocket to save web-based articles, but have an increasingly cluttered collection of PDFs which I fully intend to read (or at least reference) but never get around to it. Some of these are from emails, slack, downloads, and some are available online.

Pocket really doesn't work well for PDFs.

I'm looking for a good solution to storing a library of PDFs and documents so I can read them in a queue, find them later, etc.. It would be great if articles and PDFs and documents could all live in the same place, but for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Even better would be something portable across my Mac, Linux machines, iOS, etc..

How do you all keep track of PDF documents and save them to read later?

Show, don't tell. I don't know how things work in physics (maybe they need a grant) but in mathematics, if you make a ruckus without any actual mathematics, then people ignore you. If you have a proof or text that does something substantial, then people do ignore you at first but in the long run the best mathematical base of knowledge takes preference.

On a related note, the XML standard defines a way to include external files in the document. If you come across a service which replies with a part of your request(e.g. validation errors) and uses XML parser with this feature turned on, which is true by default in many cases, this can be used to read arbitrary files. I wonder how many poorly maintained enterprise systems systems are vulnerable to that.

I certainly can see the interest in using the product for this, as reading the specs I get the impression it will perform much better than the usual commercially available tagging solutions for consumers that tend to be too bulky, expensive and are generally crap.

Personally I think someone with the time to try out this market should do it, as your needs are going to be different than the B2B market Got-It is targeting.

Aside from that one way to defray the cost of Got-It for personal use would be to have collectives formed for purchasing solutions adapted to a particular problem.

It's not so much pressure as data. Java is conservative by design. Even back in 1997, James Gosling wrote that Java only adopts features after they've been tried in other, more adventurous languages, and then Java picks those who've shown the best cost/benefit tradeoff, and only after enough people seem comfortable with them. Java, then, depends on languages like Kotlin or Scala for crucial data about features. The interesting thing, though, is not which features Java adopts, but which ones it doesn't.
