The lack of proper boot and hardware standardisation is a huge issue. DTB tries to solve the fact different people put different peripherals on different ports, and there's no real hardware enumeration process to get around this.

But beneath this, one of the root issues at least in mobile devices is the system on chip nature of the design meaning you're at the mercy of the chipmaker to maintain appropriate drivers. These are invariably very very closed source on phones, as some areas like imaging and camera support were (and are now still, I guess) being bought in as super expensive IP blocks with serious NDAs and restrictions on what can be made available.

One reason Android is as fragmented as it was, was that they kept changing the system HAL, and chipset makers weren't providing upgraded drivers to support the new HAL as, from their perspective, the chip was end-of-life, old news, last year's model not making them any more money. I assume it isn't quite as bad on server, but single board computers running mainline Linux without patches, and with all peripheral and SoC component support are very rare, and noteworthy when they are found. Most still have pretty closed GPUs.

But when it's all on one chip, and you don't have any hardware discovery process, or even a standard way to boot the CPU, it's hard to see much of a generic future, as much as one would be great!
I don't see any reason for public brinkmanship to achieve this. Just seems... imprudent? Further, if his decision really does expose workers to higher risk (that was preventable), it moves the burden from the health authorities to him.

This is the repo where I wrote my various implementations and experiments:

https://github.com/raganwald/FRACTRAN/

One of the versions that didn't make it into the essay used this pipelining notation for combining a FRACTRAN program with the starting seed:

10 |> 3/11 847/45 143/6 7/3 10/91 3/7 36/325 1/2 36/5

I had some idea that this could evolve into writing different fractran programs to handle converting a seed in ordinary integer form into whatever the core function wanted, filtering the values of n as we do with PRIMEGAME, or picking the last value of n as we do with FIBGAME.

Doubt anything will come of it, but anyhow, the original idea seems close to what you're suggesting. What would make the pipelining ida interesting, of course, would be compiling such notation to a single FRACTRAN program.
What percentage of people don't understand that (serious question)?

I'm in nyc so my perspective is likely a little skewed, but I can't see anyone who can avoid doing so rushing back into restaurants, subways, or really any avoidable indoor or crowded activity. :(

But, yeah, I see the protesters desperately wanting to reopen everything in the midwest, so I guess a lot of people must think the problem is politics not biology and physics?

As far as I know, it's still the case that no reasonably-large country is doing much more coronavirus testing than the US right now. The UK is probably just about over the 30 tests per 1k per 30 days mark averaged over a week as of our last testing increase, Germany might still be slightly below it but I haven't seen recent figures from them and they seemed to have stalled out increasing testing, and other countries are similar.

That's a criteria that should be agreed upon by both parties; otherwise to the person recieving the "bullshit" it's indistinguishable from a lie.

But their capital isn't idle. For the most part it consists of ownership via the stock market in large conglomerates that employ huge numbers of people and provide goods and services to significant portions of the planet.

That's why I don't see what good "dismantling" them does. Say someone offs Google tomorrow. The website dies and we're left with a bunch of people who have no job and some servers and buildings and whatnot that are less useful to anyone than when you started.

BTC is different because it isn't backed by something like ownership in a company.

Also, there are different risks than equities. Equities have the risk of the company failing or being significantly impacted by many different things happening, while there are existential risks with BTC I feel these are often ignored or accepted as not applicable to most BTC investors.

IMO the burden of proof should lie on the health officials to demonstrate TSLA's precautions and measures are insufficient. Then fine them if true.

This order is like saying anyone who is drives (at any speed) is automatically exceeding the speed limit. In our laws we have an officer make an observance and provide some data to back it up (radar reading). TSLA should have the right to operate in a safe manner. There's nothing special about walking outside or getting groceries that make's it more/less safe than building a car, when sufficient protections are in place.

Why should one group receive the right to continue operations while the other does not?

No it doesn't, because all of those attackers have access to the client side salt which is sent to the client in the clear.
Not sure whether this processor will create a vendor lock-in or not, but today there are many companies already locked-in into aws. My current company is heavy user of SQS, Lambda, Dynamodb, cloud formation etc and practically it is very hard to move out of AWS. Theoretically it is possible to move out to other cloud vendors but practically it is not worth doing because of amount of testing (and coding) required. We keep on creating more and more coupling with AWS stacks. And in the future it will be almost impossible to move out to other cloud vendors.
Great read. Reminds me of "The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America" by Daniel Boorstin.
The reasons for not restarting production seem to be dogmatic and not evidence driven. Tesla is running the factory at a 30-40% capacity, and the Fremont factory has 5.3 million square feet of manufacturing and office space. Tesla claims their plan will ensure 6 ft of distance for every employee, and PPE and masks are provided and mandatory. Even the HVAC is changed to optimise for fresh air turnover and filters are changed on a regular basis.

Tesla's full list is available here: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/blog_attachments/T...

A Tesla factory is a much safer place to be than a Home Depot or a Costco, and many other businesses open in California today. We aren't talking about sporting events here: we're talking about some of the lowest risk and unavoidable interactions.

Carmakers are also defined as a COVID19 critical industry, and every other carmaker manufacturing in the United States is either open, or capable of open today. This puts Tesla at a serious disadvantage.

This is locking down for the sake of locking down, not an evidence-first safety driven approach. That is something I cannot support.

> You're not going to get particle physicists working on organic chemistry just because you've "allocated" them there

If I consider what kinds of crappy jobs some excellent physicists who could not find a position in research had to take, I am not so sure.

The truth in my opinion thus rather is: Because, as you wrote, "they wouldn't be trained in it anyway", they won't be allocated for "organic chemistry" in your example.

On the other hand, if they were, I really believe that they would prefer this job over the one that they had to take.

Recently a shop had a ~15% off sale if you paid in Bitcoin. Considering taking advantage of it, I did some research and even bought a small amount of Bitcoin to test it out.

Purchasing Bitcoin legally is a pain. If you have an online bank account, most of them do not allow cryptocurrency purchases via debit or credit. Even some traditional banks will not allow cryptocurrency purchases via debit or credit. If you have to go the route of bank transfers, you'll have to pay transfer fees and sit through 1 - 3 days of BTC price fluctuations. If you want to use cash or bank deposits via LocalBitcoins, you'll be paying a significant markup over Bitcoin's trading price, and most sellers have a KYC policy that would allow them to easily steal your identity.

Say you have a credit or debit card that can be used to buy cryptocurrency. Registering with an exchange is a hassle requiring a camera, a phone and multiple forms of photo ID. There is a waiting period before being allowed to purchase cryptocurrency. Exchange fees are high, as are transaction costs. I bought a small amount of BTC and wasn't allowed to transfer it from the exchange for 24 hours because of fraud protection.

I did the math and I would lose more than the 15% discount would have saved me just by buying and transacting with Bitcoin. On top of that, the entire process was unpleasant.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, this model hopefully incorporates more of 'what is real' than the alternatives.

The hydrogen orbital, for example, is approximately spherical/toroidal, which matches the radial distribution plot of QM.

Ionized hydrogen has a delocalized electron; it is not gone — but rather elsewhere. In our model it is enmeshed with the others in the column.

Speed is used as a surrogate for momentum because QM doesn't allow us to deconstruct the speed/direction from the momentum separately. Ideally we could illustrate a more cohesive motion as well as faster for greater momentum.

Current is transfer of motion from the high-momentum, high-V, shells to weaker ones.

I have briefly discussed resistors and other elements of circuit in other threads here. Check it out and let's talk there.

Concerning your comment about vacuums, we have to understand that there truly is no vacuum. We assume that when atoms are isolated, their surface pressure is decreased such that they can occupy tremendous volumes. Currents in outer space are present with 8.49×10^-23 atoms per 10 cubic centimeters.

Hopefully we can move toward capturing QM, and ED descriptions of electricity. A magnetism video will follow soon.
AFAIK, Mike Schuffham (www.scuffhamamps.com) earns a living developing and selling S-Gear. It might be a semi-retirement or lifestyle type living - not sure - but he's been doing it over a decade now. He doesn't charge as much as he could and gives away free updates for far too long. Despite being a (mostly at least) solo effort, its widely regarded as being a top-tier amp sim. I personally think it sounds better than both Helix and Bias, which are both heavily bank-rolled outfits.

It's been moving billions of USD daily without fail for years. That's a non-trivial amount to anywhere on Earth. Try transferring money from say former Soviet bloc countries to Africa.

Bitcoin is inflationary until 2140 and then stops inflating. It's not a deflationary currency. Perhaps you meant to word this differently?
It would be more apt to say the spring is in a high viscosity fluid. It takes some time for the fluid to move away because there is some friction in the system. It's free to make small movements quite quickly but the longer ones are damped. But there is a spring in there with one end connected to something. In the case of BTC it's probably connected to a much larger mass in the fluid that can move itself, not held down like some fiats.

> IMO the burden of proof should lie on the health officials to demonstrate TSLA's precautions and measures are insufficient. Then fine them if true.

They would have to do that for every business in CA (or the county), and are clearly not staffed or prepared for that yet.
They would have the client side salt and the hashed password.

Now, depending on the hashing algorithm, maybe it's easy to turn that back into the plaintext, but with a competent hash, it's not expected to be easy.

Edit to add, if the site does it in javascript, of course they (or intermediaries) could decide not to do it, or to also pass the plaintext with the hashed version. That's a separate issue.
Javascript already has the ability to define new abstractions. They're called functions.

Imagine you want a new "tag" for defining a Widget. Make yourself a Widget function which takes some arguments, maybe the name of the widget, the mass, and the price. Those arguments can themselves be HTML, created either using E4X or any other means you like. This lets you compose things together. For example, perhaps the price could just be a number today, but tomorrow you want to let the user do currency conversions and so you make it a more complicated AJAX thing that lets the user view the price in any currency they want. Today you would have Widget("Plumbus", kg(1.1), 49.99), but tomorrow you could change it to Widget("Plumbus", kg(1.1), Currency(USD, 49.99)). No new inventions required.
Not OP, but I also have a personal kanban at work to get stuff out of my head. The team has a JIRA, but my personal kanban is explicitly separate and private, so that I don't have to redact what goes on there. Every little idea for a code refactoring or a library update can go in there without making a huge mess for others. The JIRA tickets assigned to me also go in there, and I use checklists to break down tickets into individual steps. (The kanban is in a private GitHub repo, so the checklists are those found in GitHub-flavored Markdown.)

If I ever find myself utterly stuck or blocked on the current task, I can pull up some small quick-win task from the backlog in my kanban to get my mind unstuck. Plus I'm always able to say that I accomplished at least something by the end of the day, even if 80% was spent hunting some elusive bug without producing anything to show for it.
I don't think that plugin catches floating promises, i.e. promises that are not waited (either via await or then/catch method). The rules listed in that package's readme don't seem to mention it at least (unless I'm totally misreading something). You kinda need TypeScript for that because you need the type info to know if a value whether some value is a Promsie to give the warning.
I've repeatedly tried to get tested. All in the bay area continue to require that you certify that you have chills, cough, fever etc.

SUPER annoying. Sometimes you are just under the weather, sore throat etc and want to do your part - you cannot do that in the bay area. LA area I hear has removed the gatekeeping.

You also have to have a doctors order.

However, you can pay for antibody tests out of pocket around here - that part seems to have escaped the lock down on testing they have going.

There's going to have to be a point at which they allow you to at least pay for your own test if you want - no certification or doctor referral needed. I don't know how we can take the idea that testing is a priority when they make it so hard to get tested.
I’m providing a sociological hypothesis for something that people usually only provide technical explanations for. If you have a novel explanation for why Bananas are purchased that is unrelated to nutrition, it is worth sharing at least.
> Org-mode is awesome. But only in the context of Emacs.

Really? I agree with [Karl Voit 2017 essay](https://karl-voit.at/2017/09/23/orgmode-as-markup-only/) regarding that. To quote:

> You can type Org mode in vim, notepad.exe, Atom, Notepad++, and all other text editors out there. And in my opinion it does have advantages compared to the other, common lightweight markup standards such as Markdown, AsciiDoc, Wikitext or reStructuredText.

Voit then provides a very compelling case for why Org-mode syntax is a well-designed [lightweight markup language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_markup_language), and works well outside of Emacs.
