Oh, I remember the convection cell Qax from Baxter, read Dragon's Egg when it came out, or Brin's Sundiver for solar dwellers, or go even further back for the Piers Anthony's OX, even the frozen lattices of light from 2001. I could try speculating on some pretty strange forms of life, and have, but ultimately life -- and as fuzzy as that term is -- might well be construed as interlocking sets of cycles, self-perpetuating at the expense of various resources, always with the second law coming up from behind, waiting to knock it all out of balance, pluck teeth from the gears.

I could talk about how the various conditions at the surface of a neutron star probably cannot support the kind of interactions that would lead to a nuclear pseudo-chemistry (the elements aren't as important so much as the kind of bonds, and therefore structure supported, are, with the other physical properties being less important), but I would like to take a different tack and think about life arising. How would all of those little cycles, circadian down to Krebs, get started?

My intuition? guess? is that just as we are big bags of internalized seawater, life would have hijacked, replicated, and then encapsulated already existing cycles, multiple cycles. Just once cycle wouldn't cut it, probably not even two. I think for us it was all about warm little tidepools, water comes in, then the day-night cycle keeps changing the concentrations. Another tide comes, more water and something, perhaps waste, is washed out. Enough times, enough luck, maybe something sticks, holds something back in case the next splash isn't as big. The next big trick is a membrane, something to isolate the cycles. Separates the outside from the inside. Now there's something to separate.

Overall, though? You're still going to need matter that supports both structure (at least for a membrane, a boundary between in and out) and fluidity (for those cycles). I've thought a lot about what the bare minimum would be, but the Earth chemistry is just a shorthand for "what bonds, and therefore structure, can be maintained?" and "how will it flow?" I am pretty confident in saying it would have to obey Fermi statistics, instead of Bose, because bosons love to play follow the leader, but fermions need to stand out (and apart) enough that they can at least stand. The convection cell entities were interesting to think about but would require an almost unparalleled level of stability and uniformity across large expanses of matter, sort of a large-scale "lab conditions" environment, free of fluctuation and interference, somewhere relatively calm. I have considered something not too far away from that, life existing in an environment where the average energy levels were constant, but the entropy wasn't: life optimized to hunt not for calories but for pockets of order to bolster its own.

Non-chemical life is fun to speculate about but ... I keep coming back to structure and fluidity. It's difficult to find phases of matter that support both that aren't in the chemical domain.

How about I deposit $50, if they agree it's their fault, they give me the $50 back and fix it. If they don't agree it's their fault, they keep the $50 and fix it. If they don't agree there's a problem, I get $40 back.

If they keep my $50 and I still think they're wrong, an appeal process is available, etc.

A woman who thought she was allowed to vote (she was not, as she was a recently paroled felon) got sentenced to a five year prison sentence for it. Another woman voted illegally as a green card holder, sentenced to eight years.

So you are suggesting that the major political parties would sanction, even informally, having people go out to houses to illegally harvest ballots, or throw out ballots they don't agree with? To get one nearly worthless vote at a time, with a very possible multi-year prison sentence for each. That is utterly ridiculous.

I only found Setzers slides on this yesterday after trying to figure this out as I haven't been keeping up on Agda. So this is basically "copattern" matching on record projections. Records/structs are then the dual of variants/emums where we name and type the the destructors instead of the constructors. Thank you for confirming it.
Agda's syntax then is meant to mimick descendants of C a little bit with that dot.

I'm still fuzzy but it seems like this can be directly translated into an underlying term rewriting system and would just work almost unmodified and all we've done is opened a second route for type checking terms based on orthogonal conditions? I'll have a look at the nested copatters paper as that probably answers my question. Thank for the resources. They seem much clearer than my search results. I wonder why people don't start explaining codata with records instead of coNats and coLists. The latter was confusing.
No, SR-71s are still limited by engine temperature. They measure the Compressor Inlet Temperature, but I suspect that actual limitation is the turbine inlet temp. That said, it'll merrily try to go above that without issue if you don't throttle back.

Additionally, there's the Mach Cone. The shock wave off the nose forms a cone shape, with the angle determined by the speed of the aircraft. From the nose to the wingtip forms an angle of about 17.5 degrees, which corresponds well with the max speed from the CIT of Mach 3.3.

That both methods of determining max speed agree shouldn't be surprising. Skunk Works was filled with good engineers.

>but diesel fuel has a very high octane rating in comparison with gasoline,

"octane" is the ability of a fuel to "resist combustion" from compression. Diesel fuel is not rated in "octane" but the opposite: the ability for it to combust from compression. For some reason in the "old days", it was commonly thought by some that by adding some diesel to gasoline that it would help "lubricate" the motor (as diesel does have an oily feel). However mixing diesel with gasoline only lowers its octane rating.
Ah I see what you mean. I was confused when you said encapsulating code generation in function calls, but what you're saying is better abstraction that saves you from writing boilerplate code and also does not force you to do things a certain way beyond what is necessary. I've had the pleasure of using next.js myself and it's the sort of thing that lowers my cognitive load when working on a project.

I hear what you are saying. Check out BlockStudio:

www.blockstudio.app

It uses extended graphical rewrite rules, so you define the “logic” for your program by manipulating the objects that define your program. I could write more words here, but visit the link and check out the tutorial.
The "IR" stands for intermediate representation, it is expressly not CPU/OS specific.

The target triple isn't actually relevant in this demo, try setting it to "42" and it will still compile and run. For documentation so you know I'm not just bullshitting http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#target-triple note that it's optional and can be overriden at compile time (which is what is happening here).

In a true browser implementation the target triple would be set to whatever platform the browser is running on, that way the browser compiled the web distributed IR straight to native code.

Google's PNACL, a precursor to WASM which shipped in Chrome, did exactly the above using LLVM IR. A web target triple was not needed as the LLVM IR was the web representation and the platform the browser was running on was the target triple. No need for a new web intermediary.

WASM works the same way, you distribute the representation and the browser converts it into a native target via compilation. WASM was designed to be less foreign to browser data structures/types and easier to implement in existing browser JS engines though. It's also easier to implement tiered compilation on. There are other reasons WASM was made instead of continuing to use LLVM IR but it's not because IR was CPU/OS specific.

LLVM does have web target triples though nowadays, wasm32 and wasm64. Previously it also had an asmjs target (which worked with standard JS engines at slower speeds without modification).

If you want to affect the outcome of the election, you will need to change a lot more than a single vote. Each ballot you steal, next to worthless all by itself, opens you up to detection, and vote tampering comes with heavy penalties.

You need to find a systemic vulnerability, otherwise the risk is much too high and the odds of success much too low. Vote-by-mail isn't actually a worry unless you have an ideological position based on the current election, you should really worry about the electronic voting machines used in many places that have in-person voting. The potential for systemic fraud there is much, much higher.

How to Set Up a Ruby Development Environment
The ratio of the thickness of the glass compared to the unsupported span of material makes them relatively much more rigid than a big, floppy pane of glass. A glass window is not only much less rigid, but also maximizes the surface area that pressure from the blast wave can push against.
For camera lenses, they are probably smaller, thicker relative to frontal area, and better protected against shocks and vibrations

Eyeglasses are actually almost always made of dense plastic material these days for better refractive indexes so they shatter differently, also I wonder if physics people consider it to be practically suspended in thin air at the scales of these explosions

Well it's basically if you normally just raise pressure and lower it then it will propagate at the speed of sound (more or less - the extreme temperature shifts in the wave will cause some variation in the actual speed of sound).

High explosives cause air to be blown apart such that you're no longer just talking about a pressure wave, but talking about air flying with momentum faster than the speed of sound in a shockwave (at least until the shockwave loses energy and becomes a pressure wave).

I would expect the condensation wave (if one exists, which as you said is more likely during conditions of high relative humidity) to travel in sync with either a pressure wave or a shockwave though.

Experiment Reveals Which Face Masks Are Best at Blocking Droplets
This is the correct answer. I doubt either man chose his path as such, their paths chose them.

Steve Jobs acted the way he did because that's the kind of person he was. Some of us have worked for people who have styled themselves (and maybe even literally described themselves) as being like Steve Jobs. Invariably they're not, and this is just a key for them to unlock their inner asshole and bestow it on others around them. They create a toxic work environment that does not end up producing the next ipad.

Likewise there is a lot to admire in Woz's life, but for someone not naturally wired that way to try and emulate it, it just wouldn't work.
Probably the same reason why every white house announcement has to say that whatever it is is way better than any previous administration did or could have done.
To elaborate a bit further - when things are fine, they're, well, fine. Unfortunately, the assumptions of how computers actually function go out of the window when enough things go wrong, like lightning striking the wrong thing. Things go weird sometimes, like the accepting TCP connections, but not sending responses. can't ping but can SSH in, or vice versa. In a cluster with automatic failover, you want to be sure the bad node is dead dead dead because a bad machine can cause harm to all the packets in the rack. (Eg HA with floating IPs and ARP takeover.) Thus the requirement is to forcefully disable the bad node, which is where the acronym STONITH comes from - Shoot The Other Node In The Head. (HA clusters with more than two nodes existed, but were rarer than 2-node clusters simply due to cost.) Before cloud computing was so pervasive, high availability was implemented with serial cables between in physical hardware and when one machine stopped responding, the equipment basically yanked its power cable out.
In addition to what crazy-gringo pointed out, I would add that Berkshire did essentially what the article recommends:

> As an outside spectator to your elections for many years it's baffling how badly run they are.

In my experience they are run very well, like clockwork, and very reliable. The problem (not everyone agrees it is a problem, however) is that the states control the election, so there are 50+ ways it gets accomplished.

> Particularly with your shaky system being under active attack by external powers.

I personally think the electronic voting machines are a much bigger risk for that kind of attack, compared to vote by mail; but even then, there's no real upside for external powers to take the risk of trying to actually muck with the ballots. In all regards it is easier, more effective, and less risky to just poison people's minds. And I hope you don't believe it's only happening to the United States.

If I use a machine to mechanically fling air at, say, 500 m/s, then it will move faster than the speed of sound relative to ambient air, until it gets slowed down and turns into a normal pressure wave.

I was at a table alone in a room with him, we were both at some Ted Nelson event and we had gotten there early.

I talked to him for about an hour and honestly had no idea it was him. He just came across as a jolly tech guy. Totally friendly and down to earth. There was crafts service there so when he got up to get something to drink, he brought back something for me, you know, just like some nice guy.

It was only later when people were giving him such reverence and acted flustered around him asking for photographs that I was like "wait, is that ... Steve Wozniak?!"
Though, of course, you might expect to see that, even if life can arise in extreme environments:

It's uncontroversial that life is much denser in more hospitable environments. If the extreme environments are in regular contact with the hospitable environments, and if evolution is sufficiently random, you would expect over time that most organisms anywhere have an ancestor in the hospitable environment.

Even if life can arise in the extreme environment.
Gilroy is the same distance from SF as Sacramento--and Stockton is closer. Also, Gilroy is not even in the SF Bay watershed. However, unlike many places in the Bay Area, it does boast a direct rail link to downtown SF.

Without a significant drop in the $ per kg cost of putting stuff in low earth orbit, I wouldn't take that bet. I don't think SpaceX starship will be revolutionary enough to put probes in LEO cheap enough.

Once in orbit it's possible to reach things in the asteroid belt entirely through very high efficiency ion/hall effect thruster propulsion, which can have specific impulse as high as 8000.

Any probe capable of drilling or melting into the crust of ceres or Europa or similar will have to be quite large...
Well, at least that seems to be the case on earth. Creatures from the cold deep sea have slower life cycles than creatures in the tropics.
