Just to add to this, submarines and ICBMs navigate by inertial systems. The good ones (incredibly expensive) are extremely precise. The problem with INS though is that every minuscule error compounds over time... since there is no external reference. The longer you navigate by INS, the less certain you can be. With GPS, the system is constantly getting new reference signals from the satellites (which periodically get their own from ground stations).

Neat. I always wanted something like this. Seems super useful if you have a ton of sessions / machines / etc. I will try it out this weekend!
You could also make a case for "death penalty, but never to be used on those who maintain their innocence."

But that pretty much falls apart when you look at the whole cash bail situation, and all of the ways that system incentivizes the innocent to cut deals for guilty pleas.
Then please prove that commitment to the customer and to long term credibility by making it a high priority to mitigate this problem.

A lot of people love Amazon now but this kind of shit screws customers and that’s unacceptable.
Are you asking why the "international community" doesn't wage war and take over the rain forest?
I've found a lot of freedom in similar decisions. Not sure I could take it to the same level, but even just having a small set of meals to eat every week makes shopping, cooking and planning around expiry dates so much easier. Clothes can be similarly hacked such that everything goes together and every combination is something you are comfortable wearing, leaving you never needing to consider what to wear. I've optimised these to the point that they take up nearly zero mental space and generate no stress. In my case, I use pre-prepared frozen meal delivery service, but I know some meal preppers who find similar freedom that way. Don't cook or order anything you won't eat at any arbitrary time, and you'll never be stuck with wasted food or indecision. And for clothes I found a small set that works for me and can be worn in any given situation (except formal, though that doesn't impact me in any way).

I see a lot of comments that seem to see all the things you miss out on in this situation. But in my mind, it frees up a lot of mental effort, time and stress. If I ever get bored I can go to a restaurant and eat something wild and it will be all the more exciting given I don't optimize for excitement or luxury in my everyday steady-state.

When Soylent came out I was super excited about this idea. Don't think about three meals a day that you normally fuss over, and instead have two predictable, quick meals and optimize to make the third one amazing. Soylent was OK, and DIY soylent offered some hope too. The third meal WAS always amazing, in a relative sense, and tasted better somehow than when I had the same thing before this diet. Unfortunately liquid diets are just not satisfying to me and so frozen meals won out.

I'd love to find other areas of my life that can be similarly optimized. I have hope for bill management services to take the annoyance out of juggling payments etc., and roboinvestors or similar automated financial services. Doing these things manually offers no excitement and no added value beyond the transitively provided service so I don't think they should take up my life.

The amount of time wasted across the whole human population on things like preparing meals, choosing outfits and managing everyday responsibilities must be huge and that is all time that could be spent doing other exciting or valuable things.
I can relate a little bit; early on I worked a job where I basically just wiped computers and confirmed they were working, then loaded them on pallets. It was purely physical work (lift a computer, take it to a desk, connect it, power it on, boot to a CD, confirm HD was wiping, go to one that had finished, pop out CD, shut down, disconnect, carry to pallet), in a hot warehouse, but the whole time I did it I felt good.
That is a terrible situation. We are overrun by vampires, leeches, skimmers and thieves. People with zero ethics or conscience.

They have an advantage. Lauded in silicon valley, politics, corporations.

Sociopaths and psychopaths. I don't know what the solution is. I don't think they can be fixed. Sometimes, removing the leeches causes more damage. They come after you and come after you. They are relentless in their defense of ego and pursuit of undue fame and fortune.

Most of the others are cowards, who won't stand up to them. Afraid of the abuse. "Is that the hill you want to die on?"

"Why are you causing conflict?"

Just go along with it.

Keep your head down.

Tall poppy syndrome.

Etc.

Etc.

Etc.

We are in real trouble.

The facts are clear. We can look at them and see what reality is. But we are intentionally choosing another path.

Why?

I don't understand why.

I think we've relied on a formula for human interaction that seems good for a little while. Stable. Beneficial. Suddenly collapsing into chaos.

Unethical, unconscionable people slowly gain power until revolution erupts. They will not. They refuse to give up any power. They shape the the violence and conflict to profit from that too.

We are still driven by primitive emotions. Fear. Lust. Those emotions are used to manipulate the unconscious masses into poverty and powerlessness.

A society built on a set of rules that benefits attributes of human character we resent in the individuals around us can't lead to good attributes.

That guy was wrought full of greed. He would steal your ideas. Lie. Cheat. We hate those character traits, but reward them handsomely.

It'll never work.

We have to think of something new. Sadly, it's probably too late. We've predicted it for thousands of years and seen it happen countless times without changing our ways.

Why now?

Following the rules is a disadvantage. Integrity is an evolutionarily disadvantageous trait. Honesty is the worst policy.

Ulterior motives. Plotting. Conniving. Betrayal. These will always win the game against someone playing by the rules.

Whose rules?

I don't know. I don't know what the rules are anymore.

I'm going to be good anyway and hope it rights itself. Someone is going to have to clean up all the rubble and feed people and give them shelter.

Who is that going to be?

Look for the helpers.

I'm with others in that I think the death penalty needs to go away.

If we assume it has to stay, why wouldn't they just do something like carbon monoxide poisoning, morphine overdose, or sleeping pills + blood letting (no idea if there's an official term for draining blood to the point of death)? They all seem to be far more humane than a firing squad...
Correct. The right answer is obviously a guillotine. The real humane way to solve this binary problem
The article does not even say what the ratios of the isotopes are. If it was depleted or uranium with an unenriched amount aka natural amount of trace U-235. Its not really any problem. Heck they make boat keels out of depleted uranium.
Preventing them from fucking it up for pennies. A planet is worth more than whatever they can get from cutting down those trees. I believe in property rights, but fuck property rights when externalities are so huge that they can put the whole world in a dire situation. Property and sovereignty are a man-made concept, they can be undone as quickly as they were done. What matters is that the planet lives.
If electrocution is more gruesome because the inmate doesn't die immediately, then why not put them under general anesthesia then electrocute? That sounds more humane than a firing squad.
Is it truly “theirs” when the entire world depends on it? They are squandering it by giving it away to global corporations like JBS (massive meat corporation that extends beyond Brazil and has bought up a shit ton of large meat processing plants/farms across the globe including the US).

Also, the native people that live in the Amazon are at threat too, but nobody is listening to them. They do not have the resources to standup to the Brazilian government that continues to ignore them and continues to give away their land to corporate interests.
Because violating a country’s sovereignty tends to be taken very poorly, and a reckless president might respond with a very ill-thought out military act.

Brazil is suffering severely and they need carrots right now, not sticks.
I did receive a bit of training, but as I said, I didn't find it to be too valuable.

I was extraordinarily fortunate to have just such a colleague as I mentioned. I consider her to be a genius when it comes to pedagogy. We went together and observed a great Professor teaching. She pointed to me lots of things, but one stuck to my mind: "Did you notice that he was wearing a tie? He doesn't wear a tie when he's in his office, or on the hallways of the Department, but he wears a tie when he teaches". That's respect for your students and for the action of teaching.

My Dad was a teacher. One day a former student of his told me this: "I remember the day he came and taught us X"(where X was a great poet - my Dad was teaching literature, not math). "He was wearing a black suite and white shirt and tie. That's how much he cared about teaching about X." I was impressed. I realized that kids care. And they notice. They notice if you put the effort, and they appreciate it.

Good luck in your career. I don't know of any book. I'm not a teacher or a Professor anymore. I work in the industry, but I do take interns every year, and in a sense that's a teaching (and research) experience. I enjoy it a lot, my next intern will join exactly one month from today. And just like I was preparing for my kids in the past, I'm preparing a lot for this intern. I hope he'll enjoy the experience.
I was "afflicted" in a similar manner.
I wonder if unenriched but still radioactive uranium chucked inside a conventional explosive bomb would be as scary as that sounds to me.
It's funny that you call it "Palestine" talking about a period before the area was even named "Palestine" by the Roman conquerers. The Jews were speaking both languages, Arameic was the lingua franca of the whole region for a long time, it is still part of the Jewish scripture and prayers and it is closer to Hebrew than to Arabic so it is not that hard to pick it up for a modern Orthodox Jew who study the talmud.
I'd rather live, but if I had to exit early, the only thing I'd ask for is to be extended the courtesy of doing it myself.

I'd much rather we didn't make it a habit of forcefully ending sapient lives, though. It's an awfully arrogant thing to do. We can do better.
We expect to have Smithy code generation for every language we support as official AWS SDKs.
I’m not sure exactly how that would work. Aren’t there required quarantine periods on both sides? There are a lot of taxes built into the price of the flights, so it would probably still be “profitable” to the US if that is all you did. You’ll need transportation to and from the airport, you’ll probably need to eat a meal or two, etc. And if half the people stay for a month and make a vacation out of it, that more than covers the other half that fly in and out.

The cynic in me says that government officials did the math and figure that it is a great economic boost to allow people to fly in and get a “free” vaccination. I mean, seriously, the government bought something like 2 billion doses for a population of 350 million.

Around me, the Pfizer shot seems to be most common, and wherever you go will schedule your second dose for three weeks later. If you get a Moderna shot, they schedule you for four weeks out.
I always opt in to error reporting for OS projects and this will be opt in. Telemetry will be used to create a better product. It’s hard to imagine a real privacy problem from using Audacity and opting in to telemetry. Maybe the problem is giving the data to google?
as per reddit, it was just unenriched U ore
Given my own take[1], I was confused as you explained your thought experiment because I think I’d trust its sincerity more from a North Korean farmer.

Edit to clarify: not because I’m dismissing the oppressive dictatorship but because I think it’s more likely a rando person farming in North Korea likely has less exposure to a larger world that might make them happy, and less motivation to justify their self-isolation with denial.

They are saying its natural Uranium.

IIRC SOAP helped give the browser world XmlHttpRequest which eventually helped kickstart the whole AJAX web 2.0 / modern webapp world we love today. So in some ways it was an important stepping stone to get there, just a dead end from the general demise of XML tooling.

Software is still at the 4 elements stage of learning (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water).

We have capability based security as a model for having computers that don't get taken out by any flaw anywhere, but... like doctors who refused to believe that washing hands helped save lives, most programmers don't believe in it, or have never heard of it.

Computers used to be leading edge because anyone could just get a machine and start hacking away at it, with physical hardware being the only limit. Now our operating environments are about as secure as a forest during high fire season... only little spark, and poof... your house is gone.

We're about 10 years out, not because of a lack of ideas, but because of a lack of adoption of technology that works, instead of the old stuff extended way too far on a bad local maxima.
Just a few atoms thick: New functional materials developed
Interesting how confidently they describe uranium as "highly explosive". I'm about 99% sure that isn't true.
This article says it's 'natural uranium' https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/finance/news/two-arrested-7kg-n...
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/mumbai-nia-c... It was "Natural Uranium" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_uranium worth $2.9 million USD.
This was my question as well; according to some other articles it was "natural uranium"[1]. This also isn't the first time, it happened in 2016 as well.[2]

You’re saying the company that’s revolutionized the supply chain and brought us AWS can’t mitigate at least mass, organized fraud if it was a priority?!

Bull shit.

There will be Amazon rockets and maybe one day a Mars landing but stopping mass fraud is too big a problem?

No. Double counting is an effect of ascribing the emissions.

When you ascribe the effects to the Amazon, you combine the two. As a simple exercise, imagine that the deforested land had been left fallow, and the CO2 emitting business had set up shop at a different plot of land. You wouldn't ascribe the CO2 emitted by the business to the Amazon, and therefore, when you DO ascribe it to the Amazon, you are double-counting the effect.

None of this is to say that it's okay to deforest the Amazon. I just hate it when people lie with numbers for the sake of a catchy headline.
If someone did horrible, unspeakable things to a loved one of mine and the police caught them before I did, I would want them killed. I understand that not everyone thinks that way, but there are plenty of people in my region of the country who do.
So 7kg natural uranium is not something you want in your pocket, but not such a big deal either.
If they moved on from lisp I'm 100% sure they are now able to do better work, largely because they no longer have to spend their days telling everybody they are a lisp programmer.
> The uranium was seized and was sent to BARC in Mumbai for analysis. A report was received that the substance is Natural Uranium, which is highly radioactive and dangerous to human life.

Article does not mention those details but if BARC has concluded that it was radioactive then it most definitely is radioactive.
Pretty sure they call that a dirty bomb.

Early Christianity is very different than the views and practices of Herod or Josephus, I'll grant you.

I suppose the most go-with-the-flow residents ended up as Arab Muslims after many rounds of assimilation. But there are many off-ramps along the way.
We would probably need to eliminate nations altogether to make this happen, i.e. a global nation/government.
I got excited at first and worried about the enrichment. The article mentions its natural uranium at some point.

Its really not that scary after all. Id be more scared with the security implications of 7Kg of fentanyl than natural U.

Any titles you can recommend?

I'm homeschooling my kid and have been using sample problems from both Russian and Singapore math. But I only have a single source for Russian math problems, which is a pdf of a paper by a Russian educator who taught in the US and then wrote a paper comparing the two educational systems.

It's interesting because he talks about how algebra is a big scary subject that is introduced late in the American system, while in Russia they start doing algebraic-type problems early in primary but they are solved with pictures. So when algebraic notation is introduced later it's just a next step to the types of problems that students have already been solving.
This seems dumb exaggeration. I assume 'natural uranium' refers to ore which is not particularly radioactive nor dangerous.

It certainly isn't explosive, you can buy it on ebay.
Find non techy people who need techy people lol

And yea working in sales helped too, that led me into being good at selling myself to people, and of course sales means you're forced to be a performer NOT a cog in the machine
Right but lots of things are radioactive. The point is that the headline might give the impression that this could have been used to make a bomb or something. If it was natural uranium 7kg is peanuts. You need tons and tons to get enough fissionable material for one bomb.
"Natural Uranium" in solid form isn't really what I would call "highly reactive and dangerous to human life", so I don't find this statement to be that definitive.

"While the CDC has published one study that no human cancer has been seen as a result of exposure to natural or depleted uranium" -- wikipedia article on uranium.
The radioactivity even from enriched uranium is not much of a concern. Take a look at the half life U-238 and U-235
Some applications using OpenGL or Vulkan and Wayland compositing end up with latency related to one or two frames of the screen refresh. Which means that characters appear onscreen much faster on a 144 or 240 Hz display.

Not really a surprise but something to be aware of.
read the short story as a kid, always stuck w me. more relevant than ever with the continual drive towards efficiency and consumption fueled by amazon et al. the tv ep unfortunately changed the ending in a way that completely lost the character of the original (imo). still interesting but less dickian.
There are some aspects to the supply and demand of drugs, particularly psych drugs, that I'm not sure are described in econ 101 or popularly known.

Let's say the most common, first prescribed drug for your condition is available in a generic, for $0.30/month. That's not entirely hypothetical, that really happens.

A naive person would say "ok, if the generic is so cheap, then the brand name can't be much more, can it?" - free market competition, the FDA ensures they're all equivalent, blah blah blah.

However, I noticed that in recent years, the alternatives to the dirt cheap first-line option are way more expensive and going up. So I thought about why.

It occurred to me, that a simplistic view of competition ignores the fact that the different options are not exactly in competition at all. Because everyone tries the cheap one first, and then if they have problems or it's ineffective, they try another.

This means that fundamentally the drugs which are supposed to be in competition are not in competition practically speaking. If you have a drug that is not the first option, then you might as well charge $1000/month because everyone who is a possible customer already by definition has given up on the cheap one.

And even worse, in order to justify (for example) $1000/month, you don't have to have something better, just different enough to give people a little hope. They proliferate, but it's not progress.
You can't, mems gyroscopes drift too quickly to be useful.

Most tunnels where GPS "works" pass a repeated GPS signal through a leaky feeder, the receiver uses doppler to figure out your speed and guestimate distance. I guess because of the point source on the surface the phone must also think the tunnel is a vertical shaft as well.

The new ones create take ephemeris and almanac data and create simulated time signals for the repeaters exact location. This is the same thing that military jammers do near important locations like embassies and bases to ensure that enemy missiles hit somewhere across the road.
Since we have DNA evidence now, does this mean we should expect less mistakes in the future? If this is the case, abolishing death penalty may be in the wrong direction.

Instead of abolishing death penalty, how about raise the bar for the evidence? For example, how about death penalty only for those having clear video / DNA evidence?

Burbs of Moscow. But my family traveled extensively, more than usual for average soviet person, so I've been to every republic but Tadjikistan (all of course now countries) before the age of 14. It sounds like a lot, but it was just a spot here and there, that empire is a vast and incredibly varied land full of so many different people and even more full of nothing human related, it is difficult to comprehend unless you experience it.
