Nobody recognizes even the claimed pie slices (except the 7 claiming countries), just as none of the parties would recognize any claim on Marie Byrd Land (aka Westarctica).

It still remains a fact that no country claims that territory. And that's interesting in some abstract way to people with the fantasy of forming a country. Which is exactly what the parent comment was referring to.

The whole thing is just meant in fun. Aside from the fact that the treaty binds only the signatories.

Tooling tends to stack vertically in software: you can put together Jython-on-JVM-in-Docker-on-Linux-in-EC2 if you want to, without every layer diminishing the ones above and below it.

In EDA, tooling stacks horizontally. At minimum, I need a simulator and a synthesizer, and both need to support the same features for those features to be useful. Every tool or layer I add to my EDA stack erodes the feature set I am able to use for all of them. Encrypted IP? VHDL-2008? SystemVerilog? Only with a commercial simulator. Now you have to start squabbling over licenses, which is the same problem except you've traded technical limitations for economic ones. (edit: and paid 6 figures for the privilege.)

All of this is a huge drag on productivity. It benefits only the big EDA incumbents (not even the FPGA manufacturers). If EDA tooling is going to improve, we need to change this dynamic. Until we do, adding layers to the tooling is a net loss except for a small sliver of the user community. (Typically the people who wrote it.)

> Interest added up to 383B in 2009 and 574B in 2019 that’s insane

Between 2009 and 2019, US GDP grew from $14.45 trillion to $21.43 trillion - growing 48.3%. In that time, according to those figures, our annual interest payments have grown 49.8%. Those numbers are so close natural variability alone could explain the difference.

Why is that insane? The US is a mature economy.
if that were to happen, then its price point would be unimaginable
Matt, the CII grant program became problematic for a number of reasons and that OpenSSF is certainly aiming to avoid replicating those mistakes and making entirely new mistakes instead (to not only focus on grants and truly help define what critical software is).

The CII was before my time at the LF so I don't have much to share outside of it was in the mind of the OpenSSF founders to do better.

It looks like the D version doesn't have a `this` parameter or similar, so this version is absolutely Rust or Python or something inspired. On the other hand that means for D it was named correctly.

I have recently been full time writing C++ and yes it is a sinking island. Don't worry, I assume just in time for C++ to migrate to Rust, Rust will also start sinking (and not because of the influx of C++).

The Manhattan project studied four different Uranium enrichment solutions (none of being centrifuges'; ultimately settled on diffusion) and pursued two completely different bomb designs. The uranium bomb required a high degree of enrichment, while the plutonium bomb required a reactor. I don't have the figures, but I imagine a great deal of the electric power consumed by the Manhattan project was for making heavy water and enriching uranium.

The Japanese had two different atomic bomb projects, as usual, one for the navy and one for the army. As I understand it, one of the (the navy's) got pretty close. But details of the Japanese effort are hard to find.

A much more focused project that consumed a smaller portion of Europe's industrial capacity was somewhat plausible, at least up until the scuttling of Norway's heavy water. A serious German bomb effort could have done the minimum uranium enrichment (using centrifuges, perhaps) needed to breed plutonium in a reactor, and then yielded plutonium bombs, at much lower cost than the Manhattan project. Necessity being the mother of invention, and with all the energetic and industrial constraints they had it's not too farfetched to suppose they would have landed an idea like that. Still, once they lost access to Norway's heavy water, it would have cost them a great deal of electric power to make more, so there's that.
I'm only a beginner with Django, but I tend to agree to a point - reason being is that I've found old code that I want to use (github, etc.), but it targets Django 1.x (later versions, say 1.10), and will use a load of stuff which is now removed. The issue I've had is that the documentation seems to be difficult to find these removed elements - such as last week, looking for the {% ssi (file) %} tag, which it took me the best part of an hour searching to find out which version it came from - and indeed that it was a standard tag!

A lot of the imports seem to move around (which is easy to fix, once you know where they now are), and some things have just vanished.

I know documentation is a nightmare to produce, but there must be a way to automatically produce it for either import relocations or deprecations so you can find things like this easily?

On a similar thread a few months ago someone commented that another discussion forum they use requires one of a handful of pre-defined reasons for a vote (both up- and downvotes). It's a simple dropdown so it doesn't add a lot of friction to voting. Different reasons have different impacts on the commenter's reputation score (for example "hate speech" has a greater penalty than "low quality" and stuff like that). I can't recall what the site was called though.

Does flagging happen automatically (without moderation)? That is, if N users flag a post, does it get flagged? Or does it tell dang that N users have flagged it, and he makes a decision?

From the article: "In terms of a distributed artificial intelligence, Dyson is a believer. Because with a distributed system, you have an opportunity for evolution, for it to find itself and to learn on its own."

I published a paper in this year's AGI conference that would certainly support this line of reasoning. In my paper, "AGI and the Knight-Darwin Law", I argue that if an AGI single-handedly creates a child AGI with no outside assistance, than the child is necessarily less intelligent than the parent. Thus if machines are going to create more intelligent machines, it's necessary for the creating machines to collaborate in order to do so. This closely parallels a law proposed by Darwin, called the Knight-Darwin Law, a cornerstone of his Origin of Species. The KDL states that it's impossible for one organism to asexually produce another, which asexually produces another, and so on forever; sexual reproduction is necessary or the line must terminate. (Darwin was of course well aware of seemingly-asexual species. His motivation for postulating the KDL was the observation that seemingly-asexual species do rarely sexually reproduce, e.g. if a rainstorm damages the part of a flower that would otherwise isolate its stamen, etc.)

> Rotation matrices just describe the unit vectors of a new coordinate system

More generally, _every_ matrix describes how a change of coordinate system should happen. For any m x n (m rows, n columns) matrix, each of the the n column vectors represent how the current coordinate system (which may or may not be unit vectors) should be represented in the new coordinate system (for a left multiplied matrix).

Whenever a matrix's determinant is zero, it means that you squashed some dimensions. As you can imagine, when m is not equal to n, there will always be dimension squashing. Even when they are equal, that can happen. If you take a 3 x 3 matrix and it transforms all the 3-D vectors into only planes (which are 2-D objects), the determinant will be zero. This would be stated as having a rank of 2. More simply, you'd say the "volume" of the transform to be 0 (because planes have zero volume).

EDIT: Make sure to read important clarifications by JadeNB below.

Wow look at the misdirection in TVAs statement:

All TVA employees are U.S. based citizens. All jobs related to TVA’s Information Technology department must be performed in the U.S. by individuals who may legally work in this country.

So all _employees_ are citizens. All _jobs_ (hello contractors) are by authorized individuals in the US.

For what it's worth, I find that Wikipedia is a great place to learn about more advanced topics in abstract algebra / analysis / category theory. For example, the representation theory [1] page gives some pretty good context for how it relates to other fields.

It's not the same as a textbook, but generally, after reading the Wikipedia page, I know enough new terminology to intelligently Google for more complete resources like lecture notes, papers, etc..

How John Deere's Communication Team Operates in over 150 Countries
From what I heard there are reasons for both. Industrial electrical users are required to engage in their own impedience matching, demand regularion and other such contractual issues in addition to the ammount of other expenses for say 100MW to N consumer homes being greater than one connection to a widget factory.

It isn't some mustache twirling plot to make the consumer pay more while some abstract industrial fat cat pays more or anything - real economics are at play.

The prevailing obvious alternative to competitive pricing that tries to roll in other expenses would be direct generation by industrial scales running their own fossil fuel turbines or direct thermal alternatives. Which result in worse performance at scale from everyone mid-sized and up rolling their own separate systems and worse pollution control as instead of having four great smokestacks to put scrubbers on and regulate there are now four thousand small ones. Economies of scale have been here for centuries.

Aluminum smelters and steel plants while they may use a lot of power also cannot be just neglected and cut off mid-cycle without wasting a very large batch slag in a way that is very expensive to clean up.

Yeah, but how else would you judge about the language before spending months on learning it? Critique can be dumb like 1-based index for arrays or nitpicking on syntax. However, I tried Julia several years ago and start-up times was the reason I dropped it. Was it a dumb thing to do too? I was disappointed that a promise of being a dynamic language came with some "but"s. And if you have a lot of scripts that you need to run one-by-one, you don't notice the real speed of the language, all you notice is sluggishness.

That library is not even remotely similar to SIMDe. The goal of SIMDeez is to provide an abstraction over different SIMD instruction sets (different versions of the x86 SIMD instructions: SSE2, SSE4.1, AVX2). The goal of SIMDe is to let you run code using platform-specific intrinsics on machines that don't have these instructions, e.g. run code with SSE/AVX intrinsics on an ARM-based CPU. They're very different things.

Regardless of how quickly we should open schools, this article is thoughtless, immoral, and makes a wildly fallacious analogy.
This is quite an interesting response. It feels a bit "law for thee, but not for me".

> (May I add that seeing progressives recycling discredited arguments used by bigots of various stripes in landmark legal cases to attempt to justify themselves in the present day strikes me as both deeply ironic and more than a little revealing.)

You apparently overlooked the spot where I explicitly called out that I find the idea of discrimination based on race, religion, and/or national origin "odious".

Nevertheless, you seem to have missed my point: Prior to passage of the FHA, the 1st amendment was viewed so expansively that it was seen as acceptable to discriminate against even skin color for housing (which is one of the most fundamental human needs). It took the FHA to change that. Further, not even the FHA protects political affiliation as class.

On top of that federal law, specifically the Civil Rights Act specifically exempts (and again, I think this is horrible) private clubs (and religious organizations) from the protections against discrimination, even for discrimination based on protected classes (like race).

It's true that we put limits on the freedom of association (and for good reason!), but political affiliation has never had the same level of protections as other classes (such as skin color or sex). In fact, only a few states (and "progressive" ones at that, like California and New York!) make it illegal to discriminate against employees for political affiliation.

So, to recap:

1. Political affiliation is not protected the same way as race, religion, national origin

2. Not even race, religion, and national origin are fully protected (i.e., as protected as I think they should be) against discrimination by private clubs.

As a result:

1. I'm not sure why you would expect the Fair Communications Act of 2020 to protect political affiliation--it's not generally seen as a protected class, especially in conservative areas.

2. Even if political affiliation became a protected class, private clubs may be exempted. You've asserted that Twitter is a public accommodation, but not said what makes them such.

3. It's hard to take seriously the idea that conservatives are concerned about political affiliation-based discrimination in one forum when they haven't bothered to extend those protections in many others.
I certainly see why that post was flagged. (Not only flagged, it earned a rebuke from dang, because the poster was apparently a repeat offender.) That certainly appeared to be trolling.

That said, if you disagree with the flagging, you can vouch for the post. The moderators do reconsider if people (past some threshold?) vouch for a flagged post.
Do you think politicians will legislate permanent change without that outrage? If people saw sweatshops on TV and said, “well, they’re just trying to maximize profit” it will guarantee nothing changes.
