The paper is describing a test of a particular alternative to quantum mechanics called "real quantum mechanics", its rather more specific than you are suggesting

I know a few of the people on that preprint, and I'm pretty certain they all know you can embed the complex numbers in the real 2x2 matrices ;)

As an aside I'm pretty sure the matrix you need is [[0,-1],[1,0]], which squares to -I, unless you don't want to use matrix multiplication in your construction.

I was pushing back to your assertion that viewing sex as entertainment is primarily a modern and western viewpoint. Certainly the west’s view of sex has changed in the past 100 years. However I would not be surprised if the current view is actually more in line with historical attitudes toward sex, not less.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, I don't know.

Presumably if they were let out of prison it's been decided that they are not longer a risk or have paid their debt to society.

So no, convicted murderers should not be prevented from being a cashier, nor any other job they qualify for. At any rate, the best way to steer someone back into crime is to take away their ability to have a job. How else are they supposed to survive?

Believe it or not, the criteria for an entity to trust someone enough to grant them the privilege of accrediting them as a domain registrar can be somewhat different from the criteria the state uses to decide whether it is cruel and unusual not to release them from prison. The fact some people can be rehabilitated, doesn't mean that they always are, or that keeping people in jail indefinitely because they haven't said sorry is a proportional punishment/deterrent. The social consensus you're arguing against is that the range of attitudes towards people convicted of crimes shouldn't be as simple as a boolean updating from INCARCERATE to MAXIMUM TRUST on the date they say sorry.
> With the announcement of federated learning of cohorts [0], it allows Google to use their massive amount of information they have on you already, as well as their dominance in AI to cut out the easy way of tracking people, and make it harder for anyone else to personalize ads.

yes, yes yes yes. This proposal is that:

* the web have no individual tracking

* the browser, instead uploads our every activity across all sites into the cloud

* the cloud/browser-operators (google, firefox, microsoft, opera, brave) take these troves of big data & apply machine learning to generate cohorts

* the browser then places us into these cohorts

this would, as parent post suggested, absolutely "cement google as the best ad tracking company". it also makes it radically harder to create a new browser. Brave would have to become not just browsing software you run on your computer, but a cloud-service, gathering reams of data like Google, generating cohorts out new big data systems. how is Lynx/elinks supposed to become compliant with this new proposal? how is anyone other than the already existing giants of the world supposed to do this?

bold bold bold plan organize & own all the worlds data here. privacy on the web, but none in the web browser: brave new world Google. you madmen.
I gave it a try and used a simple Excel file (with tables) to create a PowerApp. Customization wasn't too painful. However when more than one person needed to use it, it was locked because the Excel data source could not be accessed by more than one user at the same time :-(. I should have used Sharepoint lists instead. So, the simple thing of working with familiar apps like Excel and creating a form entry on top of it was disappointing.
I believe it's a legally binding statement. Which is not as good as a mathematical proof, but better than nothing.
100% this. There is a glass ceiling to the quality of a search engine if it's free; it starts with G.

The paid option hasn't been explored yet, and for good reason I think: in principle, you need training data for it to be any good. And, again in principle, the only way to amass user data is for the service to be free, leveraging that to sharpen the tool.

So in principle, I reckon this is doomed to fail. But I might be wrong. I HOPE I'm wrong. And that's enough.
> It's very common practice

In certain parts of the world. Meanwhile, the rest of the world doesn't try to ruin the whole lives of people who made a mistake and already paid for it by serving their time in prison (or whatever the court ruled).

I find the idea that a single crime you commited makes you somehow less of a human being incredibly backwards and brutal. Plus, it seems to be not very effective.

From what I read there are complex socio-economic reasons for the system to be shaped that way, but from an outsider perspective - so without caring about said reasons - it looks absolutely crazy.

The money quote (which leads a few more paragraphs on the details) is this:

> But, while I remain less than 100% satisfied about “why the complex numbers? why not just the reals?,” there’s one conclusion that my recent circling-back to these questions has made me fully confident about. Namely: quantum mechanics over the quaternions is a flaming garbage fire, which would’ve been rejected at an extremely early stage of God and the angels’ deliberations about how to construct our universe.

Ah, I understand. That's an interesting point you make. I am inclined to agree with you. It would have a similar reality-distorting effect; Carter influenced one women, Clinton influenced many.

Self regulation is preferable (to a private company) to industry-wide regulation, which in turn is preferable to government regulation.

If you want to avoid government oversight, either have internal oversight with the appearance of independence. Alternatively, have an "independent" overseeing body for your industry (whose behavior you may still indirectly control via nominations, seats on boards, funding, etc). Having an actual independent body providing oversight, appointed and controlled by an arm of government body is the worst outcome, yet it is inevitable when lapses arise, and voters demand "something be done" and you failed to provide a veneer of oversight, like Google is doing here.

"Citation needed"

I literally just explained it to you.

The price of BTC has always been highly unstable. There is absolutely no evidence it will ever be stable, to the contrary in fact, all evidence points to the fact that it will remain unstable.

Every single commodity or currency extant to an economy is unstable relative to the currency of that economy. The only thing 'stable' in terms of USD are things closely tied to the managed USD.

Just the mere fact that it's highly unstable - all other things notwithstanding - make it impossible to be a currency.

"For what it's worth, bitcoin aims to deprecate every single brick-and-morter bank as well as all the armored trucks driving paper currency to and from them."

It's really bizarre that anyone would believe this.

Starting with the fact that 'digitization of currency' is already well under way and so there are no 'truck rolls' in the future.

But of course, the implication that banks only provide a 'place to store' money is completely false. Financial Services are an entire industry. Lending, transactions, authorizations, contracts, accounting, risk management, asset allocation, it's a gigantic industry.

But it's moot, BTC will be the same in 20 years that it is one, something to talk about.

Turn-Key Power Management Chip for Energy Harvesting on IoTs
I agree, but in theory that is solvable
But one of the goals of this is to be able to handle Video and audio together. (This enables an easier API for ensuring audio and video remain in sync with each other, which can be tricky in some scenarios when both use totally seperate APIs.)

The other main goal is to simultaneously support both pro-audio flows like JACK, and consumer flows like PulseAudio without all the headaches caused by trying to run both of those together.

Lastly PipeWire is specifically designed to support the protocols of basically all existing audio daemons. So if the new APIs provide no benefit to your program, then you might as well just ignore it, and continue to use PulseAudio APIs or JACK APIs or the ESD APIs or the ALSA APIs or ... (you get the idea).

Now you are not wrong that audio is a real time task, and that there are advantages to running part of it kernel side (especially if low latency is desired, since the main way to mitigate issues from scheduling uncertainties is to use large buffers, which is the opposite of low latency).

On the other hand, I'm not sure an API like you propose will work as needed. For example, There really are cases where sources A, B, C and D need to be output to devices W, X, Y, and Z, but with different mixes for each, some of which might need delays added, effects (like reverb, compression, application of frequency equalization curves, etc) applied, and I have not even mentioned yet that device W is not a physical device, but actually the audio feed for a video stream to be encoded and transmitted live.

Try designing something that can handle all of that kernel side. Some of it you will have no chance of running in kernel mode obviously. That typically implies that everything before it in the audio pipeline ought to get done in user mode. Otherwise the kernel mode to user mode transition has most of the scheduling concerns that a full user-space audio pipeline implementation has. For things like per output device effects that would imply basically the whole pipeline be in user mode.

The whole thing is a very thorny issue with no perfect solutions, just a whole load of different potential tradeoffs. Moving more into kernel mode may the a sensible tradeoff for some scenarios, yet for others that kernel side implementation may be unusable, and just contributing more complexity to the endless array of possible audio APIs.
No. You've just reinvented them. Writing something differently and giving it a different name doesn't do away with that something.

It seems very simple to me. The network would be controlled by custodians including exchanges and banks. And under an attack the network would be over: the malicious stakers can basically pay themselves and suffer no cost to continue the attack. Conversely with PoW there is a sustained huge expense to continue to perform an attack, and the PoW can be changed by a fork. I would never consider this to be acceptable. Not that ASICs run by China aren't currently an abysmal situation either, but that is only a problem because bitcoin has no privacy
Number of transactions is the wrong denominator for energy usage of the network. The same number of transactions could be confirmed by a single miner.

The miners contribute to network security (double spend protection), not transaction throughput. Common misconception.

My project is closed-source but I used this project as a starting point: https://github.com/choonggg/fusrodah

It's a really good/barebones Roda project that uses webpack for assets/js pipeline and Tailwind CSS for UI. My methodology was:

1) clone the project

2) then swap out webpack for Snowpack

I was able to do that within 1 day and honestly, it was well worth the effort due to the amount of knowledge that come with it. Snowpack is much much faster and efficient in terms of resources vs webpack. The newest version, Snowpack3, uses esbuild internally which basically puts it on steroids. Good luck!

This is the description found on their "About Us" in English [1]:

Stiftung Warentest is a foundation. It was established in 1964 by the German federal parliament with the aim of helping consumers by providing impartial and objective information based on the results of comparative investigations of goods and services.

We buy products – anonymously from retailers, and make covert use of services.
We carry out tests – in independent labs that use scientific methods and follow our specifications.
We give verdicts – ranging from „very good“ to „unsatisfactory“, based solely on objective results.
We publish our findings – totally free of adverts in our magazines „test“ and „Finanztest“, and online at www.test.de.

According to their report [2] they are mostly financed through the sale of their articles.

Its an interesting take. I have no energy to spend in a loveless relationship tbh, and only respond when someone start flirting with me, but i never engage anything, and never did since my first relationship of 5 years. It sometime led to casual sex when i was still drinking on saturday night, but now that i stopped drinking, i stay at the flirting stage and never go further, because i realized that either casual sex is overrated, either i'm weird and don't get as much pleasure as other men, and the downsides are bigger than the upsides.

I have another take: younger male are less attractive than older male for females between 20 and 26, or less rich?
May I ask what is your issue with PowerQuery? I found it extremely useful tool for transforming the data and display it the way I want see.
This is just false though. There are several privacy preserving search engines out there. The fact that they're not owned by a browser vendor is irrelevant.

It's also annoying suggesting that it's even necessary for the search engine to be owned by the browser vendor.

This may well be part of Brave's plan with regard to BAT (basic attention token), or some other form of monetization but it does little for the end consumer.
Headline is a bit rich, since duckduckgo exists (and Bing/Microsoft if you really stretch it).

I get the point though -- duckduckgo doesn't provide a browser. But I'm guessing Brave doesn't provide hosted email service (Gmail), file and document hosting (Google Drive and Docs) so the analogy breaks down either way.

That snark being said, I do want more privacy on the web -- so yay Brave!
