Australia has a population of 25 million on a continent the size of USA.

90% of the population lives in the top 10 urban areas. The rest are isolated in small pockets, vast distances from urban centres.

> We tried to rollout FTTP (fibre to the premises) on the basis that 1000Gbps is a human right or something.

The Labor Party's objective was to give country and regional citizens the same standard of online access as urban citizens. They would charge the same retail price for access even though the infrastructure build was more expensive per capita in regional areas.

> It completely fell apart and stalled within two years

The project's first two years were spent negotiating infrastructure rationalisation with the national monopoly telco. Before the fibre backbone was laid, the Labor government lost an election and was replaced by the Rupert Murdoch backed Liberal Party.

Murdoch ordered the Liberal Party to downgrade the network from universal FTTP so that no competitors could arise to threaten his national cable network.

The Liberal Party obliged by scrapping universal FTTP, paying billions to the monopoly telco for obsolete copper, which became a hybrid last mile component of parts of the network, which has now cost double the original estimate for universal FTTP.

Less than half the network delivers the max claimed speed of 100/25, for a typical price of A$90 per month (US$70).

I've been always taught that classical (Newtonian) physics doesn't have to be interpreted as deterministic. However, the reason was simpler than the lack of the "infinite precision". Basically, some classical systems can have several solutions, e.g. the famous Norton's dome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton%27s_dome .
Your expectations of the people we trust to manage society for us are way too low. Maybe this is part of the problem with the rot of western civilisation. We’ve let our standards slip to pitiful levels. If I could foresee this a year ago sitting at home on my sofa with practically zero experience they could too. It is their job to and lack of specific experience doesn’t excuse the lack of application of basic and universal risk mitigation strategies. It doesn’t matter which vaccines would prove to work or not. You ramp up manufacturing capabilities and tooling on the 10 most likely candidates. It’s called hedging and the whole world knows about this strategy for a long time. No epidemiologist thought it would be over in June 2020. All the messaging was and is 2 years at least.

A battlefield superior "AI" can already be easily fielded.

Just like Goalkeeper will beat any human operated gun, a cheap disposable drone swarm pointed at an enemy country with a program to blow up anything resembling an airfield will beat any military general at leading an air campaign, and will probably beat even a nuclear weapon in effectiveness. It's already possible without any real AI. It's just nobody bothered to make one (or probably did, and is keeping quiet about it.)

It's just we did not have a big war in the age of powerful, disposable computers, and thus never weaponized it. There are many weapons today which claim to "beat nuclear weapons" in their respective context, with the main determinant of them being "super" weapons is the lack of humans in the loop.

All of them can be developed, and weaponized, it's just a man with a gun, artillery, and amassed air, or armour already works superbly well at the task, and most importantly does so reasonably economically.
The big thing that companies won't get with the hybrid approach is the ability to reduce their office space expenses, though -- unless you go to significant amounts of hotdesking (which will be pretty unpopular I expect) then "all our employees are in the office 3 days a week and WFH for 2" still means "we need to provide space for a desk for every employee and our office rental costs are the same as if everybody was still in the office the whole week".

Overall I agree with you though that mostly offices are not going to go away but that there will be an increased degree of willingness to allow 2-days-WFH and similar arrangements, especially in sectors like tech where attracting and retaining good employees is difficult -- it's a relatively cheap perk to offer and the last year has raised corporate awareness of its desirability among some employees and that it isn't actually impractical.

I assume most people will be allowed to come in every day or most days if they want to. On the other hand, if something like a 4 fay home-1 day office model is commonplace, I'd also expect a lot of companies to switch to hoteling type seating arrangements.

And an arrangement where you have to come in on a weekly basis is certainly going to be much less attractive for remote workers who want to move to lower cost, mountain town, beach, etc.

What keeps me going is the deep knowledge that at the end of the day I will be happy I did it.

Same with running. Of course I hate the idea of getting up early or going out in the evening esp in bad weather. And of course first mile is horrible, horrible experience. But what keeps me running is this certainty and knowledge that it will get better ( as oxygen high kicks in and muscles stretch and body warms up ) and that I never and I really truly mean ever regretted I went for a run. Absolutely ever.

So my only job is to remove friction, get multiple types of clothes ready and near the door, not over do it and create bad experience and show up. Even if I have to lie to myself, put on running clothes and grab MP3 player and say I am just going for a walk. I know I just have to do that first mile.

It is same with my work. Of course it is hard at first. And scary. And I end up scanning job sites during breaks. But even when I create something, even something I don't like or even when project fails, I am still proud and happy I did it. Always. So I just have to show up and survive first 30 minutes.

There are still temptations you have to map out and avoid, and there are always bad days you have to be ready for. And every job has parts you don't like.

At the end of the day I do feel better than when I work anywhere else. I am not 9 to 5 kind a person. I am too anxious for that and I always end up doing free unappreciated overtime to make sure project gets done. So it is even financially better to work for myself.

That json test gets a lot of attention but A) large scale floating point IO is a terrible application of json (if for no other reason than that float parsing is slow) and B) this mostly measures construction of a big object graph, not json parsing, and so is a poorly isolated test.

A better Nim impl would use `parsejson` directly at which point its speed can approach the fastest of any impl. [1] Also, it is implementions (like stdlib) that are assessed not the speed of the language. There are like 10 json parsers beyond the stdlib. No idea about Crystal ecosystem diversity...

EDIT: Also, I just ran the base64 encode/decode and with `crystal build --release b64.cr` vs. `nim c --gc:markAndSweep -d:danger --cc:gcc --passC:-flto b64`, the Nim ran twice as fast not half as fast.

Anyway, people should not draw conclusions like "Crystal is faster than Nim" from things like this.

> Much easier to backup if your email is in one place and running even a local IMAP server is better than storing it in an email client.

The 13-year old bug I linked to involves IMAP mail handling, I believe. I haven't dug too deeply into these bugs because, honestly... I'd like to be able to use Thunderbird for a couple of things, but mail handling doesn't need to be very screwed up for me to avoid the program. A 13 year old bug involving data loss is enough to make me avoid the program, even if it would not appear to effect my use case.

> Haven't lost anything

I guess I can understand how others might view it as "just email." I won't argue with the implied "I've never lost data to this program so it must never happen" argument, but I wonder how you know you've never lost anything. I feel like I'm capable of not noticing a data loss bug involving email, or not noticing until I need something and it is not there.

Since neither heads nor tails bias had been hypothesised, 1/512 rather than 1/1024.
The original wording is: "there is roughly a one in 1,000 chance that the measurement is a statistical coincidence".

By definition, "the measurement is a statistical coincidence" means the same thing as "the null hypothesis is true". That's literally just how we define "statistical coincidence".

So the sentence might as well be worded: "there is roughly a one in 1,000 chance that the null hypothesis is true".

So, I'm reading two things, and please let me know if I'm wrong in boiling them down.

2. Someone on the internet has a closed community (ie codebase that does not accept outside contributions), therefore they are terrible leaders.

Disclaimer: My opinion.

I am fairly sure, no one is taking pictures of the whole earth, in 20 minutes intervals in a sufficiently high resolution to pick out an airplane. Specially one, flying over water.

For reference, ISS at its height ~400km, can see roughly 3% of the Earth's surface. This is without any kind of lens.

If someone has any kind of evidence, showing it otherwise, it would be great to see.
I just started a new remote job and have rented an office 45m from my house. The need to do this is related to school drop-off and pickup, but the benefits include:

- no part of our house needs to be dedicated to work

- work starts and stops at regular times

- I have at least 30m of language study time in the car (accounting for conversations with my daughter which will be a priority)

- my office is 5 min from trails I can run at lunch

Working from home, as in the spare bedroom, is a challenge and a buzzkill.

The highest resolution images we know are possible in theory max out at around the 10cm level due to atmospheric effects. It seems we can get quite close to this with the big spy satellites the Hubble Space Telescope was based on. Fortunately we have a really great example available to examine.

How do you train it?

You can build simulations and train it on that but then it would find some quirks in your simulations and exploit that or your simulation is too basic and won't model some variables that is relevant and a human can exploit.

Then if you have the perfect simulation with all the rules and all the variables you should probably use computer science and find the best strategy and not some statistics/guessing/AI stuff that might find a good enough solution.

I think you don't have enough real world data to train an AI, probably you could put the effort in building an AI to solve the economic and social problems, find better way to solve the issue where some guy spends on Fortnite skins the money that could feed an entire family... I would try to create a simulation for the economy, improving the lives of the poor around the world should reduce the political tensions and reduce the number of conflicts IMO.

Understanding an App Development Proposal
They aren't pretending anything. I was stuck in DSL hell for the better part of the last decade. There was a shop running fiber all over that told me they wouldn't be servicing our area until there were more Rural Broadband funds made available (to fund the ~2 mile run to our neighborhood). As of last year I'm finally on fiber... RBF works. It's just a matter of ensuring the funds get directed to ISPs that are ACTUALLY laying fiber instead of giving it to companies like Frontier.

> In the wee hours of Dec. 31, 2019, CDC deputy chief Lo Yi-chun could not sleep and was scrolling his phone when an online post shared in a CDC chat group caught his attention.

> Quoting information from Chinese websites, the post that appeared on PTT, one of Taiwan's largest internet bulletin board systems (BBS), warned about the potential danger of a SARS-like disease that was spreading in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

> "The post came out (on PTT) at 2 a.m., and at 3 a.m., I saw it being shared on a chat group by another sleepless CDC doctor," Lo said at a press conference Thursday.

> Lo said the post immediately caught his eye because unlike other unsubstantiated online messages this one included a chest CT scan, a hospital test result and what appeared to be a screenshot of messages sent by a doctor to his colleagues, warning them of a highly contagious virus.
Safe Systems Programming in Rust
Possibly. But Backblaze has an agreement with the user; and they have taken data they need / are justified in handling (filenames, sizes) and leaked them. Google docs wouldn't be liable if I stole your credit-card and put it in a Google doc.

It may be that fb is doing something illegal here too - eg the whole way tracking pixel work seems difficult to square with gdpr - but the tracking pixel/service looks a bit like the drill used to force a lock - another party (like BB) must deploy it. And arguably the purpose is not to "steal" data.

> If you can look at it as a learning experience that's fine as well.

A gambling addiction is also something you get from (in)appropriate learning experiences.. I think Nordvig's view of programming and materials that fit a longer view of learning good style are likely to work against getting a job in this climate. You are more or less demonstrating your willingness to embrace the anti-patterns a company holds dear to the point that you could be stuck with them without even being considered for the job.
Classical Mechanics is a well-defined mathematical framework. Consequently, the word 'determinism' when applied to classical mechanical systems has a sharp meaning. For example, the dynamics of a finite set of point masses with a smooth potential function is 'deterministic' in the sense that there are mathematical theorems proving that initial conditions can be uniquely evolved forward for some finite amount of time.

The paper wants to argue for general non-determinism, but can only do that by changing the definition of determinism to something more fuzzy. It then proposes a new set of mathematical axioms to incorporate this definition, but the question that the paper does not answer is whether all this buys us anything or not. I think that any reasonable physicist would say that there is nothing foundational left to do for classical mechanics purely in itself, so it must be that possible applications can only lie in the search for a more fundamental theory of nature.

But then I am very pessimistic. We understand quite well how classical mechanics arises as a limit from quantum mechanics, which in turn emerges from relativistic quantum field theories. Together with general relativity, it is the latter that are the most fundamental (experimentally confirmed) theories. Therefore, trying to uproot the mathematics of classical mechanics feels like starting completely at the wrong end to me.
