> The state was named after the Delaware River, which in turn derived its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr (1577–1618) who was the ruling governor of the Colony of Virginia at the time Europeans first explored the river. The Delaware people, a name used by Europeans for Lenape people indigenous to the Delaware Valley, also derive their name from the same source.
Not quite, as it only supports letters. This can be annoying with some mathematical symbols, e.g. IIRC ∇f won't work. Having Greek letters is useful, but I think it should go further, like this, so definitely not terrible.

I believe you're thinking JSTARs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_E-8_Joint_STA...

Or maybe the E-3 Sentry aka AWACS, but the JSTARs matches the "big plane" better and has a giant synthetic aperature radar for imaging large swaths of the battlespace. We deployed with JSTARs when I went to Iraq as a Shadow 200 TUAV Pilot myself.
Many years ago there was an AI game for PC called Creatures, using neural nets for the Norns, the characters you would raise in the game by training them. The devs who wrote it were originally writing AI software for fighter pilots, and continually won simulated engagements because the AIs had no body-based limitations, which opened up a range of maneuvers that would literally kill a human.

The best example of such is a hard dive: if you're flying level, and dive too quickly, the G forces drive all the blood into your brain, potentially causing a hemhorrage. The maneuver human pilots use for a hard dive includes a half barrel roll just to avoid this, and it's still less effective than suddenly pointing down. The AIs used hard dives effectively to shed human pursuers.

This led to the insight that bodies (in some sense) were a missing component of any human-like AI, so they made Creatures to test the theory. The neural nets had virtual bodies with hunger, fatique, and pleasure/pain receptors; the player interacted with a god-like hand cursor that could pet them or spank them. For the 90s, it worked pretty well on Windows 98.

Aside from the health insurance problem, I think they should be able to earn minimum amounts, there should be a limit on how much money you can lose per hour driving for lyft or uber.

@agl?? You here? Do you remember the motivation for this change?
Humans also have a limit on what they will do. A military with more AI can engage in actions that a group of soldiers would refuse to do. As more of the military becomes AI driven, it effectively concentrates more power behind those who operate the AI.

> One example is memory. Deep mind doesn’t update it’s strategy when playing the same player repeatedly or even over the same game. It can operate at near peak human performance indefinitely but it avoids being exploited via deep understanding of the exact rules in play. It was also playing on the ladder under random names to avoid people developing specific counters.

This is because many games without perfect information have "rock-paper-scissor" situations. An AI designed without this in mind, lacking a source of randomness (or memory of the last encounter fed into the next game), is going to pick "rock" every time and start losing to the human who realizes and exploits this.

It seems like they could rotate these much less frequently to let caches work. It seems that these are random to avoid DNS servers hardcoding a response for them. However they could be pseudo random based on the current day, month or release so that it would be hard enough to intercept them (unless the DNS server was really committed to doing this, but there are other ways to achieve this) while still allowing a lot of caching.

I think the only downside is that you would leak some information about your system clock.

I first started programming on a MUD back in the late 90s. I still code for a MUD to relax. There's something nice about adding features to a simple codebase you've developed on for 20 years. Also, when I learn a new programming language the first project I tackle is coding a MUD. They touch a lot of things: files, databases, networking, text manipulation, and scripting.
On the other hand... if the AI can't even out perform in a simulation, you kind of have to worry about the model.
I'm friends with one of the labs that took part in this study, so to give a perspective of how this was received in the field.

For the most part it wasn't a radical finding, but really good to quantify and see the effects. It also demonstrated the importance of including and documenting the parameters of the analysis pipeline.

Something else to keep in mind, especially when thinking about cognitive neuroscience (where scanning is an important tool), is that analysis are not done in isolation. Every experiment is motivated by behavioural results, neurobiological results or both. The goal of fMRI is to gain insight into the activity of the brain, but its also not very precise (given the scale of the brain).

Basically this data is analyzed in the context of what has been shown before, and how it matches our current hypothesis. This doesn't mean such variation is acceptable (see first part of my comment), but it does mean that this doesn't cause all results on fMRI to be invalid.
Roboblox could not be farther from MUDs and only people who played MUDs can appreciate the difference.

Lets start with the obvious - MUDs use text and "text is the highest bandwidth medium for our imagination" (quote by Bartle, co-creator of first MUD).

I recommend everyone watching this video to understand why is text so superior to any other medium:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zctp972y_Eg

Incidentally the lockdown inspired me to spend the last five months rebuilding and relaunching the MUD I built in 90s. It is properly hard and properly text and if you want to check it out: telnet playlom.com 4000 (and if you are less hardcore http://playlom.com:4001/ )
I think you need to rework your definitions. Avoid using the word proven. Most of the time science proves things false. You can't prove anything to be true.

The difference between a null and a negative is just that a negative is an interesting null. In your null example, to create a proper negative you'd probably report several compound synthesis methods instead of one. You'd probably also want to use more mice/data in your analysis.

Yes, but you're not just being irradiated by a single star. There's a whole galaxy of them. They aren't all visible to the naked eye, but they're still there, and their radiation all adds up.

However, I have not done detailed calculations, so I might be overestimating, for example, what the effective radiation temperature would be of galaxies in intergalactic space.
Ah ! I initially missed the splitfiles page ! Declarative, cacheable... It's a great approach you have here. I think you could go even further and infer some SQL transformations from the schema definition.

That's pretty elegant imo. I think the NXDOMAIN of 1a can be cached too. If we get a result on the next search query it should be safe to assume it's a legit one.

Maybe, at the risk of over-engineering, additionally cache the results for the last N networks persistently. Something like (gateway, DNS, localip) as key. I could see those three being identical on different networks though... And assuming the article is right and most ISPs globally do not mess with NXDOMAIN, this might not be necessary anymore with this proposal.

XUL in my memory is a kind of tragedy. It seemed to me to represent a future where GUIs could be programmed on any platform using an HTML-like language. Previously you had to individually write GUIs as applications, using languages like C++ or Java. Then web applications became more popular, and XUL seemed like it could sort of unify all the special applications some day. By roughly 2010, I think HTML5 was taking away some of the appeal of XUL, and at the same time the increase in popularity of smartphones led to a reversion to specially-built "apps". I hope some day there will be a popular "browser app" that everyone builds apps on.

Reminds me of the excellent post about the architecture of multi-player in the original Age of Empires game:

https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131503/1500_archers_o...

You had high-ping 28.8k internet, and you wanted to be able to have immersive battles in a world with hundreds of units controlled by several players. There's no way you could send real-time information about the status of every object in the game. So they didn't. They made the game simulation completely deterministic and then simply shipped user input around on the network. User input was processed on a slight (couple hundred milliseconds) delay (to allow for network transmission speeds) and executed simultaneously in "game time" on everybody's machine, so the simulation stayed in perfect sync. Voila, no worrying about lag.

Windows in this regard does it right. It provides standard calls for expanding globs, but the glob handling is handled purely in the application logic, not in the shell itself.

There are some advantages to doing this in the shell, but really they are dwarfed by the problems that are caused by users not being very careful about quoting and "--" arguments.

> assuming CMB is the only source, but the photon density has diminished significantly, would there be enough CMB photons to keep the object from going lower than 3K from emitting blackbody radiation?

Obviously not, since if the photon density has diminished significantly, the temperature of the CMB will diminish significantly too. The temperature of the CMB gets lower as the universe expands. When the CMB was originally emitted, some 300,000 years or so after the Big Bang, its temperature was around 3000K, not 3K. It has cooled to 3K because the universe has expanded by a factor of about 1000. It will continue to cool as the universe expands further.

> Will there ever be a time where there are not enough CMB to heat the blackbody?

Meaning, to heat the black body to the same temperature as the CMB at whatever time you are considering? No. The CMB is unlike all other radiation sources in that it is everywhere, and its effective temperature is the same everywhere. You can't be "at a distance" from the CMB the way you can from a star or a galaxy.

One of the biggest challenges IMO is being able to articulate what work you are doing and what the impact was (yes, this is the same as in-office working). Conversations don't "just happen" remotely, you need to be diligent about creating your own buzz.

Some thoughts:

A) The "law of armed conflict" isn't a formal law, it's a collection of treaties recognized by most countries, and each country can have a slightly different interpretation. But most of the written stuff only goes back to the Geneva Conventions, and before that it was just tradition that kept everyone in line. Basically, if your side didn't follow tradition then there was a chance that you wouldn't be treated well if you got captured. So people mostly behaved themselves.

B) All (civilized) forces agree on the idea that it is unethical to attack non-combatants. There are grey areas, but everyone agrees that a pilot is no longer a combatant after his plane is disabled. If they land in your territory you can capture them and hold them prisoner, but you can't kill them, even if they were dropping bombs on you a few hours earlier. Similarly, if you sink a ship you are not supposed to kill the survivors.

C) Accidents happen and communication between enemies isn't totally reliable. Although you aren't supposed to kill people engaged in life-saving or rescue operations because they are non-combatants, what are you going to think if you see an enemy ship or plane approaching your defenseless friends? Sometimes people do bad stuff intentionally though, and hope that the lawyers can make a decent case if they get caught. Considering that evidence often gets destroyed and that dead men can't give testimony, they often get away with it.

D) A non-combatant can lose their protected status by engaging in combat. If a downed pilot pulls out his sidearm and starts shooting while you're trying to capture him, then you can shoot back. You can't shoot a clearly marked medic trying to save someone's life, but if that medic picks up a gun then you can shoot them. Paratroopers are practically defenseless while they are under canopy but they are considered combatants, so you can shoot them in the air.

E) AI probably won't be granted personhood until after they demonstrate sentience, so computer pilots probably won't get any of the courtesies discussed above.

That would still allow ISPs to compute the limited number of domains for which NXDOMAIN would need to be sent at any given point in time.

(Whether they'd do it is another story. The random pattern currently used by Chrome looks like it may still be easily detectable at the DNS-recursor level, so maybe the ISPs really don't bother beyond the simple NXDOMAIN -> portal domain replacement.)
