It might just be possible. First of all, if you look at static pressure, obviously hovercraft exist and work. And tornadoes can lift cars off the ground. Even strong winds can.

Doing some numbers, my car appears to have a horizontal area of about 7.5 m^2 and a mass of about 1500 kg. With earth's gravity, that means 14700 N spread over 7.5 m^2, which means average pressure of 1960 Pa.

Wikipedia says (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure#Examples_of_sou...) that a shock wave happens at 101,000 Pa.

So the pressure needed to lift my car would be about 2% of the strongest pressure that can exist in a sound wave.

Presumably it's a little more complex than that because sound waves oscillate and can't exert constant pressure. So some factor has to be added for that. But seems like there's about 50X to play with before hitting the limit of shock waves.

It's going to be crazy loud, though. Like a gun going off continuously.

The problem with ads isn't "good" or "bad" ads, it's that the nature of building a business of serving ads inevitably leads to an unquenchable thirst for data plus customers whose primary goal in paying you is to sell things, not to provide value (though some may do so as a selling strategy). It's hard to imagine how, or even why, such an ad business could serve the best interests of the end consumer, despite the idea held at one point that perhaps consumers would be so turned off by ads that they'd defect to a different solution. There might be SOME people who don't use Google or Facebook for these reasons, but most people simply deal with poor user experience, security, and frustration because they want to see things listed with reviews on a map, or know what their friends are doing on the weekend.

I'm not even a fan of both Tesla and Musk. I think both are overrated.
I'm guessing your domain wasn't a huge target then. There was a dns hijacking bug in r53 like 3-4 years ago that was fairly trivial to use. It allowed an arbitrary attacker to register new records to redirect your traffic and take a higher priority in the routing table. I probably shouldn't say much more about it because I don't think it was publicized after they fixed it.

It’s interesting because I spent many hours when I was young daydreaming. But today I can’t remember the last time that I did.

I’ve always found time to meditate but I don’t find that boring, and it doesn’t let me day dream like I used to in a Biology or History class as a child.

I’ve been joking with my girl friend that my resolution for 2020 is to fill my days with less exciting things and somehow find boredom again.

I always wonder if it’s the extra stimulation these days, or the extra responsibility or if I just headed my grandma’s words that only “boring people get bored”. Maybe it’s the freedom? As I child I was forced to sit in classes I didn’t enjoy. Today I have the freedom to get up and leave.

I really want to understand boredom more in 2020.

We have a few mysql instances where we only need them for a few days a month (maybe a week).

> Simply a matter of default type of join - join defaults to left while merge defaults to inner.

No, join does an index merge. For example, if you try to join with string keys, it'll throw an error (because strings and numeric indexes aren't compatible).

left = pd.DataFrame({"abcd": ["a", "b", "c", "d"], "something": [1,2,3,4]})
right = pd.DataFrame({"abcd": ["d", "c", "a", "b"], "something_else": [4,3,1,2]})
left.join(other=right, on="abcd")

ValueError: You are trying to merge on object and int64 columns. If you wish to proceed you should use pd.concat

If you try to join with numeric keys:

left = pd.DataFrame({"abcd": ["a", "b", "c", "d"], "something": [10,20,30,40]})
right = pd.DataFrame({"abcd": ["d", "c", "a", "b"], "something": [40,30,10,20]})

left.join(other=right, on="something", rsuffix="_r")

abcd something abcd_r something_r
0 a 10 NaN NaN
1 b 20 NaN NaN
2 c 30 NaN NaN
3 d 40 NaN NaN

Or even worse if your numeric values are within the range for indexes, which kind of looks right if you're not paying attention:

left = pd.DataFrame({"abcd": ["a", "b", "c", "d"], "something": [1,2,3,4]})
right = pd.DataFrame({"abcd": ["d", "c", "a", "b"], "something": [4,3,1,2]})
left.join(other=right, on="something", rsuffix="_r")

abcd something abcd_r something_r
0 a 1 c 3.0
1 b 2 a 1.0
2 c 3 b 2.0
3 d 4 NaN NaN

Whereas merge does what one would expect:

left.merge(right=right, on="something", suffixes=['', '_r'])

abcd something abcd_r
0 a 10 a
1 b 20 b
2 c 30 c
3 d 40 d

>> What if they're optional? pd.DataFrame({'foo': [1,2,3,None]}) will silently change your integers to floating point values.

> This was a long standing issue but is no longer true.

Occurs in pandas 0.25.1 (and the release notes for 0.25.2 and 0.25.3 don't mention such a change), so that would likely be still the case in the latest stable release.

pd.DataFrame({"foo": [1,2,3,4,None,9223372036854775807]})

foo
0 1.000000e+00
1 2.000000e+00
2 3.000000e+00
3 4.000000e+00
4 NaN
5 9.223372e+18

It's also a lossy conversion if the integer values are large enough:

df = pd.DataFrame({"foo": [1,2,3,4,None,9223372036854775807,9223372036854775806]})

foo
0 1.000000e+00
1 2.000000e+00
2 3.000000e+00
3 4.000000e+00
4 NaN
5 9.223372e+18
6 9.223372e+18

df["foo"].unique()

array([1.00000000e+00, 2.00000000e+00, 3.00000000e+00, 4.00000000e+00, nan, 9.22337204e+18])

It's not very pythonic, though. A definition of "all dimensions greater than 0" would've been much less surprising.
Jesus, your premise here is far more interesting than the entire last season of black mirror. Would watch this episode for sure.
This is why you can never accept benchmarks provided solely by the software creators. Same for accepting studies about a company's product when the company's commissioned and funded the studies.

It'd be cool if there were neutral third-parties, kind of like Jepsen, that any project could defer rigorous benchmarking to, perhaps in exchange for a flat fee (everyone pays the same fee, no matter how big or small they are).
Sometimes I type the name of a site into the URL bar, but I don't include the top-level domain. Most of the time, the top link is an ad for the site I wanted, and the second link is a non-ad link to the site I wanted.

I always try to click the non-ad link, as I like the sites that I remember the names of and I don't want them to have to pay the troll toll, but sometimes I accidentally click the top link and I feel bad (only very very little, though) about it. Yesterday, I accidentally made Hackaday pay the toll.

I refuse to say that that is being good at ads. It's kind of slimy, forcing sites to do SEO to put themselves at the top of the list when someone is searching their name. I've actually switched over from chrome to firefox (on the machines where I have the option) because of this (and the fact that the top ~7 search results for many queries are SEO'd garbage).

> It was my (lay) impression that we believe general relativity cannot be the final fundemental theory of gravity because general relativity itself is not consistent with quantum mechanics.

That's the same as "not a quantum theory", which is what I was saying. "Consistent with quantum mechanics" requires "is a quantum theory", according to the many physicists I was referring to.

> Right now we have two separate theories (general relativity / quantum mechanics) that can't be combined because they conflict with each other.

Most physicists believe that they conflict, yes. But not all. Freeman Dyson, for example, has speculated that gravity might just be different and not require a quantum theory the way the other interactions do.

"The logical mechanism of the functional form of the model has very little to do with explainability"

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, or which of the three sources in my comment you are reacting to.

My understanding of "explainability" in this context is that it means "humans can understand why the model gives a certain prediction".

It seems like you are using it to mean "humans can understand why the thing modeled does something (presumably by referring to the model)". That isn't what I thought people meant by the term, nor does it seem like a reasonable goal to me.

Do we agree these are distinct ideas? Feel free to elaborate on where I've gone wrong.

Orbitals, while enormous (greater surface area than earth), are much smaller. The Culture novels do have Ringworld-sized rings as well, though. E.g. from Consider Phlebas, flying under the orbital Vavatch: "It was like flying upside-down over a planet made of metal; and of all the sights the galaxy held which were the result of conscious effort, it was one bested for what the Culture would call gawp value only by a big Ring, or a Sphere."

Everything in C++ is opt-in.

The Standard C++ Library supports user-managed allocators for all the containers, heavily used in embedded, low-latency, and real-time applications to get deterministic performance.

Lack of standard support for user-provided allocators indicates immaturity. E.g., C++ lacked them until 2011.

I'm reminded of the song "As Tears Go By" from Marianne Faithful. From when she first recorded it, until her last performance of it, there were very notable differences in her singing, and the overall sound of the song. It went from sad and thoughtful to utterly depressed and desperate, depending on which versions you heard. But there was change, nonetheless. A lot of it.

The most obvious is the pitch and speed - she started singing it in a fairly clean high register at a particular beat, but by the end of her career her voice was very deep and raspy, and the song was performed a lot slower.

Despite significant change in her singing, nobody ever said she and the song got better, or worse. They just kept some sort of honest likable quality, and it got more dramatic as the years went by. Pretty much as forecast by the song itself.

The lack of acceptance for change existed back then, but she lucked out and was surrounded by grace. It's just more "in your face" as the Internet tends to be nowadays. Change isn't allowed so much because we constantly click on the next big thing.

Any amount of change like that in a musician today would be considered unacceptable and buried under loads of competition and "us and them" mentalities.

> Do you think the height of observed "steps" in neutron position would be the same or different if the experiment were repeated in different gravity, say Moon?

Obviously since the gravitational potential would be different, the neutron position "steps" would be different. That still doesn't change the fact that the experiment is not showing "quantized gravitational potential". It's only showing that "quantized neutron position", which is already well established by other experiments, is affected by the gravitational potential in the same way as it would be by any other classical potential in the Hamiltonian.
I'm curious why they found Julia intractable. In my experience it's much quicker to write than Rust, C++ or Cython. It's also much more expressive than Cython.

Is it because they tried embedding it in C++? That can be painful, because it needs its own thread, and can only have one per process, but it's certainly doable.
