I guess he assumes the artist started depicting Fuji-san, wasn’t happy with the result, and reworked it all in a way that could accommodate some of the initial effort. Which may or may not be true.

>> But physicists aren't probing QM anymore

Physicists are probing the heck out of every theory. However, QM has proven to be _extremely_ reliable, even some 'Gedankenexperimente' by Einstein trying to make it look wrong turned out to be true ('geisterhafte Spukwirkung').

>> There is a lot to be explored there but academia tells people to avoid it.

I don't think so. I mean just look at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which probes fundamental forces which are... guess what... based on quantum field theory which itself is based on quantum mechanics.

AT&T markets a hybrid DSL technology under their UVerse brand name. They run FTTN (fiber to the node), then split from the node via standard DSL, albeit at much closer distances (and hence much higher speeds). This product can provide "DSL" in the 50-200Mb/s range (currently), but it is not the regular DSL that most people associate with the technology.

That's a bit of a meme. Not entirely wrong. But the people who have hedge fund money know how to read the fine print about returns.

The goal of hedge fund is to reduce volatility and/or to generate uncorrelated returns. Some people are ready to pay a premium for that (in the form of under-performance compared to an index). Hedge funds are more an alternative to fixed income than an alternative to equities, if you think about it.

Except, string theory and multiverse aren’t theories. Heck, they’re not even hypotheses (since they offer no means to test them).

They’re simple speculation; what philosophers right back to the ancient Greeks were only too happy to rest on for 2000 years, until Persian protoscientists, during their own all-too-brief golden age, annoyingly said “but wait, don’t you think we should at least test our beliefs before we take them as granted?”; a practice that fully went mainstream a half-millennium later as the European Renaissance kicked off; and so modern-day Natural Philosophy was born.

If the first rule of science is, “you must not fool yourself (and you are the easiest person to fool)”, then rule zero must surely be “stuff’s hard, folks”. And some things are just invariant, no matter how much you might wish that they not be†.

The example with the number is poorly chosen. It is overly simplistic and can easily be implemented as as something like

(pseudocode) bool satisfies_all(value, functions) { for each funcction in functions { return false if not function(value) }; return true }

I get that the author wanted to go with a very basic example to keep it easy to understand, but it seems like that's the main problem with the proposed mechanism: It gets very hard to understand very quickly, leading to spaghetti code.
What makes programming difficult isn't the syntax, it's the need to define the problem in an completely unambiguous and consistent manner.

What are you planning to use it for and how big are your datasets?
I suppose it depends on the field in which you work, but many safety-critical fields have an expectation that hardware failures are captured and mitigated and there are various tools to capture these design decisions and ensure they are tested. One example tool in this case would be a software fault analysis (FTA) or failure-mode-effects analysis (FMEA) that looks at a broken sensor input value as a failure mode.[1]

It's been my experience, however, that these sorts of design tools are more unfamiliar to software groups than hardware bubbas. It's not uncommon to simply see "software fails" as a failure mode which isn't very helpful. I'd be curious what the HN community's experience is with software as it relates to design tools like FTAs, FMEAs, hazard analyses, etc.

> The main problem is that, in my experience, the majority of DevOps teams are Ops teams that have been renamed and refocused towards automation.

I'm on a relatively new team kind of like that (it's not a former Ops team but most of the team was pulled from Ops/DBA/analysis teams, and fits the description, and it's not a really a DevOps but more of a Dev+Ops team) and the general reaction of the team to being introduceed to the AWS CDK has been “we need to move to that as soon as we can”, even from people who very vocally never wanted to be programmers.

I would think we should look at it somewhere in the middle. We can't truly know what Hokusai was thinking, or even if he truly understood the forces in his mind. But the art now has a life of its own. It represents just as much for him as it can for us.

Even the fact that a Japanist artist decided to look to Prussia for a certain color could suggest that Japan, or at least Hokusai, was opening up to the world, and to globalism and industrialism.

I like to remember James Joyce's words in Ulysses: "The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring."

Torchlight, and really all diablo-likes, has the problem of being too simple/easy, with higher difficulties primarily item-gated more than whatever skill/strategy; its long term value comes from multiplayer + grinding/trading qualities of random drops, and less so from well, playing it as-is.

As a result, they've never really satisfied my roguelike itch tbh.

Also, if that multiplayer + grind/trade/build characters + sets is the main value you get from Torchlight, then probably consider path of exile, which pretty much optimizes purely on the multiplayer aspects of Diablo 2 (Torchlight lacks some purpose imo; they set out to do a better Diablo 2, but didn't really pick a place to optimize, and didn't do well enough at optimizing everything, and didn't really remove any fundamental flaws)
Thanks for the input, I agree and I've added a warning to the readme taking this into account and directing readers to this discussion.

I do think there is value in ease of use with something like sandy. I'm unlikely to setup gvisor just to run some arbitrary script I found online. I assume most people today just will run scripts directly on their machine. With sandy, I was experimenting if you could get 80% of the security while still making it really easy to use. I agree that it still hasn't met that mark with regards to security but I think it's possible to improve that.
The model works absolutely fine with structured data. In these kinds of applications, you usually connect different nodes on a canvas, each node representing a data source, join, transformation etc. and each connection represents the flow of data.

I would like to argue that waiting for partitioning and transmutation technology to mature and temporarily storing the waste until then makes more sense than putting nuclear waste into a place where we can not easily (or at all!) reach it when we can use it (and thereby actually solve the problem).

Some half-lifes are so long that just any progress over a fraction of these time-scales should be be enough to be better off to wait for the tech to be ready than to bury the material.
This is exactly my experience as well. In DSL's favor I would add that it's not a shared pipe and the latency is generally low and very very consistent. If it were 20-30mbps down DSL would be competitive again. Emotionally I'd like to ditch both the phone and cable providers, they and their exploitive business model suck fetid dingo kidneys.
Those came out to scratch an itch. If AT&T had maintained a monopoly on UNIX API, someone else would have scratched the itch. Maybe someone would have designed an interface and explicitly granted public reproduction rights, as many products have done before UNIX and after.

Are you familiar with the expression “security theatre?” It doesn’t keep people safe, but it provides enough of the appearance of safety to make people feel like we’re doing everything we can.

Justice theatre is the same thing. It doesn’t do anything about poverty or crime, but locking “scary people” up provides enough of the appearance of safety to make people feel like we’re doing everything we can.

The fact that it is theatre, and not real policy, helps explain why it’s so tilted against the poor. They’re the scary people.

Theatre is the metaphor. Movie theatre, stage theatre, whatever you like. If you’d prefer not to use a metaphor, fine, but once a metaphor goes around a few times and people have a shared understanding of what it means, it provides a convenient shorthand for communicating something.

“Security Theatre” has achieved a certain success as a metaphor. I’m trying to tap into how the justice system resembles the air traffic security system and the bank’s five questions systems and so on.
There's two definitions that are key to that report that must be understood before drawing conclusions.

1) "Grant-in-aid" are a large portion of expenses and are scholarships. This is the athletic department paying the market tuition bill for an athlete. This qualifies as an expense, but clearly has direct benefits to academics. For the university and academics, it's a "good expense."

2) "Direct Institutional Support" is the category that you're after. This is money directly paid by the academic side to the school. However, it's rarely a direct money transfer. Most of them are discounts on tuition.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristidosh/2017/06/12/the-bigge...

I'd argue these waivers, especially a Title IX waiver, is ultimately a very good expense for the academic side and society as a whole.

Another large revenue is Government support - support from the state government. While this is a direct money injection, you can't claim that the money would have otherwise gone to academics. You can argue that it should but that's different. Further, it's cyclical.

Of course, I'm not going to pretend there aren't other forms of support from the university and student fees. However, those are small compared to the budgets as a whole. Yes, the university often does chip in for stadiums, but the university will get rights to use the stadium like for commencement ceremonies. Money spent by universities usually (should) get something in return besides an investment in branding.

Finally, like it or not, athletics play a huge role in brand awareness and prestige for the school. If you look at the tiers of schools, that is, Ivy's, Tier 2's, etc., there's little movement inbetween tiers, but there is a lot of jockeying within the tier. Athletics is the most visible way of doing so. When Doug Flutie threw a Hail Mary for Boston College, the following year, they tripled the number of applications they received.

From the article:

This result provides new clues on the existence of a link between the geomagnetic field and the Earth’s climate in the past and on the physical mechanism involved because, thanks to the application of the transfer entropy, we have determined that the sense of the connection seems to go from the system that produces geomagnetic field to the climate system. Of course, the connection does not mean that the geomagnetic field is fully responsible for the climate changes, rather that it is an important driving component to the variations of the climate.

Problems with Alteryx come when you need to share a workflow with other people, or need any functionality outside of the basic tools, or need a loop, or need good documentation, or your internet is down which completely blocks this otherwise-desktop application, or need compatibility with an older version of Alteryx...

I could go on but my point is that beyond the most basic tasks the functionality of Alteryx is limited, the user experience is horrendous and the price isn't justified whatsoever.
I meant that the entire message is "4", not just part of the message. Obviously we can pick a subset of digits of any large prime and find anything we want. However, the odds of a very large prime (like a gigabyte) looking intentionally ordered over its entire length seems vanishingly small.

The only reason to limit ourselves to primes is because its trivial to produce a meaningful composite, and very difficult to produce a meaningful prime. Take this message; if I was to associate it with a number (say by joining its characters as 7-bit ASCII), my money is that it's composite. (Not sure what the odds are, but I'd take 100:1 odds).

That's exactly what (a lot of) people is doing! Is there a second suggestions?

There are some "interesting" experiments. One is the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the muon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_magnetic_dipole_mome...

Theoretical: 0.000116591804(51)
Experimental: 0.00011659209(6)

Can you spot the difference? The experimental result is too big, like 3.5 sigmas too big. For most sciences 3.5 sigmas is a lot. In particle physics 3.5 sigmas is interesting, but it may be a fluke.

People is trying to solve it. The idea is that the theoretical model is missing a particle or an interaction between the known particles. So, it's a guess game. You must guess how the particle must behave. Some properties like charge are fixed, some properties like mass are a parameter. So you must guess the main properties of the particle and tweak the parameters until you get a theoretical result that is closer to the experimental result.

The problem is that the new proposed particle may change the theoretical expected result of other experiments. So you must fix the theoretical result of this experiment without breaking allllllllllllllll the other experiments.

And the properties are very constrained.

The easier to explain is the charge that must be an integer number. Or in some cases n/3, but you must explain very well why the fractional charges are no found in the wild. Other charges are posible, but people will think you are nuts unless there is a lot of supporting evidence.

Other properties are more difficult to explain, like the symmetry of the W+, W- and Z0 particles. If you propose a new particle that interacts with the W+ particle, there are a lot of restrictions because the particle you propose must interact with the W- particle, or you have to propose another particle that interacts with the W- particle in a very similar way. And at the same time, you must also fix a similar problem with the Z0 particle.

More details in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_beyond_the_Standard_Mo...

The main problem is that most of this extensions to the standard model are very technical and boring, and they are not covered by the popularization press.
