Thanks for the articles, I'll read them tomorrow.
Writing down a field theory is seems to be writing out a path integral of some sort:

\int Dx Exp[S[x]]

Where \int Dx is like a sum, x is a field (a thing that assigns numbers or an object to a point in space), Exp[S[x]] is a weighting. You sum over all possible field configurations weighted by S[x], which is called the action.
You can feed in other fields to this sum and calculate expectations of events happening, a bit like a Fourier transform or Gaussian integral from statistics. Classical configurations (classical paths/trajectories) this is the biggest contribution, then all the quantum stuff gets weighted less.

Formalising this notion is complicated for the sorts of objects and spaces needed in physics.

This is also problematic when it comes to quantising general relativity, the gravitational field in a sense is not just a field on space, it's more like space itself, although you can try to describe that as a field. People get around this by summing over geometry. In a sense you can test what the geometry is by seeing what it does to objects, maybe a bit like forcing particles to interact with each other and seeing what gets produced says something about internal structure.

It is interesting of course that we try and use classical information plus some choices to build a field theory. In my opinion it is sort of unnatural to quantise, you are making choices. Broadly quantisation is sticking some commutative theory in a non commutative theory. But since we know the universe actually runs on those quantum rules, seems wrong to define it as like the embedding of a classical theory, it should go the other way, classical information should emerge naturally instead.

Perhaps the other issue is that field theories are effective in a sense. Much like fluid dynamics doesn't say anything about the internal molecular composition of water, fields are an effective theory. Perhaps string theory tries to get around this by having large scale dynamics and then saying what the micro local structure is, but that is even less of a well defined notion than a QFT.

Wow. Climate change wasn't even on most people's radar then.
TikTok quickly adapts to show you videos that you're interested in. There's all sorts of content on TikTok. There's a lot of dancing videos in the same way that there are a lot of dancing videos on YouTube.

TikTok seems like a next generation YouTube though. What it adds, in addition to an easy and addictive way to watch, is a remix culture empowered by the ease of creating new videos. Dancing is a fine example. When someone creates a new dance other TikTokers try it out or put their own twist on it.

I think highly of TikTok. It's creative. The algorithm powering the feed is compelling. I personally uninstalled it because I'd get caught up using it and spend more time than I wanted on the app - but it's doing a lot right.
Agreed. Not many devs tackle Mount Everest, so we’re interested in your journey.
Most of these stories seem to be from 20+ years ago. Do newer sysadmins just not make mistakes anymore? Or is 20 years the timespan that is needed to get over the embarassment? :-)
the dancing might be how zoomers used it but nowadays there are all kinds of categories. fishing, cars, home improvement, gardening, career help, ask me anything (lawyers, therapists, etc)
No they don't. I've cycled in Japan, sometimes on the side walk even though that's technically not allowed. Either you go very slow on the sidewalk or you're a danger to pedestrians. It is also much more dangerous for you at any intersection because cars don't expect objects traveling at bicycle speeds on the sidewalk.

The safest place for a bike is a separate bike lane on the road. If no separate infrastructure exists, the next safest place is on the road.
It's big, but not overwhelmingly so. To eye is looks like it's about 10% of the area so it jives with the quote provided by minipci1321 which claims ~10% of power.

My first programming language was solder. I learned it in 6th grade. My second was BASIC, which I learned 5 years later. I'm old, and I've been around the block quite a few times... I can tell you what was in those fields before they become subdivisions. I tend to go off on tangents sometimes.

Teaching isn't about knowing the one right way... teaching is about giving people information that relates to their existing knowledge base. In the language of RF Design, it's about impedance matching.

If you want to turn out Rust programmers, it's probably a bad choice to teach them COBOL first. BASIC would be less bad. The closer the languages are in terms of impedance, the easier it is likely to be to transit between them.

Tangent: Bear in mind that in RF Design, impedance is only a complex number, in a person's mind, there are an infinite number of dimensions, you'll never get a consistent number.

Tangent: Teaching someone BASIC on a machine with 2K of RAM is also radically different that teaching someone QBASIC with megabytes of RAM and a hard drive. The constraints are different, the language itself has differences.

Tangent: Non Von Neuman systems like Verilog, FPGAs, solder, and Excel are valid tools as well.

OK but the 2025 EOL wasn't a secret, it was announced alongside the Windows 10 release a decade ahead of time, as well as the extended support date of 2029.

So you had a decade of notice for EOL, and currently you have 4 years of notice that you'll need a TPM 2.0.

Maybe you think that's unreasonable, but I'm not so sure.

No, just in this case.
You make great points, obviously focused on the UX portion. I definitely agree. TikToks algorithm is just amazing too, incredibly personalised. Borderline addictive app.

A huge reason for TikToks success that might not be seen by the average user is that they spend a lot of their marketing budget on their content creators. This is something that not a lot of platforms do - they send free lighting equipment and have reps that teach up and coming content creators how to make better content.

I do wonder if YouTube did this more, that they’d get better traction on their other products. People follow the content creators not the platform so if the content creators start using a platform, people will follow.

Just my two cents anyway, for what it’s worth.

YouTube is a terrible platform to discover videos and creators you don't already know that are relevant to your interests.
It's not a defense but an explanation. OP asked why google cared, and the answer is 'they likely don't and likely took no special actions.'

Algorithmic censors exist pretty much anywhere you or I can publish information on someone else's domain name; even HN has a report button that feeds into algorthmic hiding of posts. All this shows that the algorithm is not particularly robust to state sponsored manipulations; the same way internet polling in the past decades were not particularly robust to 4chan.
Yes, 15mph is not the theoretical max speed of a bike.

For me, on my $300 Trek hybrid, traveling on flat land, that's about as fast as it can go.

I'm sure someone in good shape on a nice road bike can go faster.

It is not obvious why data fetching is a sideeffect. It seems more like the whole point.
Even though I use it sometimes, I'm not a fan of social media in general, but I would describe TikTok as the crack cocaine of social media platforms. Once I started seeing those short videos half an hour would go by in an instant. I don't know how they made the video selection algorithm so good, but after a while of using it, it mostly shows videos where it can be almost certain you will watch at least part of it.

This is a pretty good analysis of the many UI/UX problems of YouTube Shorts, with a focus on the content creation process. The lack of basic search term completion in the music search widget, and the confusing visual cues and cryptic error message in the submission form are especially surprising. I was going to say rushed, but rushed alone doesn’t really explain these obvious problems.

I wonder if The Netherlands over-polices cycling behavior and so inflates their stats with minor nits in order to collect fines. OTOH, there's not many helmets nor stolen bicycles in NL.

In the US, for experienced/aware/agile cyclists who ride often and defensively, it's usually safer for them to not wear a helmet because:

i) Vehicles statistically give helmet-less cyclists more space.

ii) Unconscious personal safety anxiety and risk-aversion that comes along with a rational cyclist not wearing a helmet. Something they must never forget.
I understand you use open source, but Fusion 360 really is a game changer. The CAD to CAM workflows are easy and intuitive once you learn the basics. Blender is designed to be a lot of things to a lot of people and I can see how that would be extremely frustrating. Yes Fusion isn’t cheap, but it’s very worthwhile IMO.
In my own anecdotal experience, I think it comes down to what the product you are working on needs, and how your team works.

Recently, I spent 3 years on Scala then switched jobs and spent 3 years in Ruby.

It was a shock to go back to dynamic languages, but after 3 months, I honestly couldn't tell which felt more productive or led to more stable high quality product.

In Ruby, we had all the issues people point out about dynamic languages, but the product didn't lean heavily on complex data structures or algorithms. We embraced complexity and failure and get good processes, designs and practices to deal with this.

In Scala, we had more rigour, but I also know I spent a lot of time on type design. Once things were sorted there was a lot of confidence in it, but generally, it took a lot longer to get there.

For certain systems that is absolutely worth it, for others (and in my case) it did feel like the evolution of the product meant this effort never really paid off.
Not me, but I had to wake up at 3:00am and fix it. Someone ran “User.destroy_all” in a production Rails console. This was a social network for a ‘well know sports agency’. Production console’s are a sharp tool. Be careful who you hand them to.

I'm liking Onshape for CAD. There's a learning curve, but it seems logical in a geometric puzzle-solving sense.

I read a bit about resin-based 3D printing (stereolithography). The amount of detail looks impressive but it sounds expensive and messy due to the toxic chemicals and fumes. How do you deal with that?
I found tiktok to be boring compared to youtube. With youtube I can skip with tiktok I have to slowdown and watch at least 5 - 10 seconds.
Yes, because the system administrator, in his great wisdom made the compiler a batch job, but left the default priority way too low, below all interactive task.

Which meant the users had to wait around, so the labs would always end up full of logged in users, frustrated that the system was so darn slow.
Playstation does it just fine and it's freebsd-based.
Oh, you're absolutely right. I simplified immensely by aggregating at the level of a convenient political division that has only vague bearing on actual geography as well as assuming the distributions are uniform across the range in question.

I think the overall point is sound, though. A huge chunk of the US population is in territory regularly subject to strong tornadoes.

Also, I would beg to differ that this map puts Chicago at the edge of a high-tornado zone. It's solidly in one, as is Kansas City.
Yeah, but does that happen on the internal border between Xinjiang and the rest of China? That boarder is more relevant for reporting.

However, the surveillance in China is definitely an issue. Journalists have to declare themselves as such in visa applications (or pledge to not do any journalism), all foreigners have to register with the local police wherever they're staying (hotels do this for you behind the scenes), and I think pretty much all long distance travel requires ID. So the government knows who the journalists are, where they are, and can swarm them with minders to manage what they see (and intimidate people from speaking to them). I've read multiple reports that say that's exactly what happens when (good) journalists visit Xinjiang.
Sounds great, paradoxically I've heard one of the ways to improve friendships is to ask more of them. While it seems selfish, it can improve the friendship and of course they are more likely to ask more of you in the future.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to describe but -- are you referring to the socratic method?
It seems highly likely that these videos were "reported" to YouTube (this could have been from a state initiative or otherwise) and the videos were reviewed by a human somewhere whos job it is to read a rule book and see if it applies.

And they get removed because they broke one rule or another.

This is the same as the process for any other video.

That is a reasonable position. But "The government are authority figures and I trust authority" is also a reasonable position (and quite common). There are a lot of people out there who trust authority - who can say that YouTube doesn't employ them?

Jobs censoring minority views are going to attract those people.
I know conservative vs liberal is just an arbitrary set of stereotypes, but that doesn't seem to fit any typical model I have in my mind

True in XP (it was a crappy SNTP implementation), but it was rehauled significantly in Windows 10/Server 2016 and above because of Azure requirements. It can now guarantee accuracy within 1 second at all times and even higher when the NTP server is local (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/networking/w...)

I gave my boyfriend at the time root access to my personal server

In a sleepy haze he accidentally ran a chown -R him:him / && chmod -R 777 /

For a cyclist sitting upright (CdA of .5) but with good tires and pavement (Crr of .0035), it takes about 120W to hold 15mph on flat terrain. I would agree that this is about the limit for most casual riders. Serious riders with more power typically don't have a problem riding around other bike lane users. What I'm saying is, I don't think the robots are burdensome for the average bike lane user, as far as speed is concerned.
I cofounded a start up which was a call canter using software I wrote to manage maintenance at small pad retail sites such as fast food restaurants. We had investors. One showed up, a couple, who were extremely angry due to the repayment of their investment. It was a small building, but handled hundreds of calls per day, with 12 call-center reps. The investors were loud. At the same time, our database seemed to have locked up, it was on a Pyramid Unix server running Sybase, my choice. So I needed to address the stall, at the same being attacked with irate, high volume screaming, at me. While typing at my terminal, I accidentally "drop table"'d. I bricked the database and after 15 minutes on the phone with Sybase realized we had no choice but to restore from backup. That's when I found out from the tech in charge of backups that he had missed the last day. We lost 2 days of data and had to run with paper and pencil until we had the database up and working.

So we restored what we had, and over the next 5 days, as people called in for status etc., we reconstructed most of what we had lost. The reps worked with the callers, and we worked things out over a week of 24-hour days.

Embarrassing, but we lost zero customers. Unfortunately there were hundreds of small mishaps, and many unhappy people, but ultimately the business held on, went forward, and a few months later there was no lingering effect.

Lesson: Don't let investors visit where the business is done, and verify your backups by restoring them. I recommend avoiding situations like this, but if one happens you can work it out with great effort, and it is rarely the end of the world.

It turns out "dynamic dispatch" is not as well established or as clear as you insist. It means at least one of five things:

0. Dynamic dispatch (as you are using it)
1. Double dispatch
2. Multiple dispatch
3. Predicate dispatch
4. All of the above collectively.

What you thought was a confusing re-definition on my part might have been an ignorance of alternative uses on yours ;)

Did you not notice that the very same Israel/Palestine article has just been on HN's front page for many hours?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27645282

There were multiple submissions of the article. More explanation at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27647873. I hope you'll notice that the truth is exactly the opposite of how you perceived this.

I banned you because you broke the site guidelines egregiously. It has zero to do with what the topic happened to be. The topic could have been type inference, Oreo cookies, chess ratings—that's not the high-order bit. What's not ok is posting in a way that destroys this place for its intended purpose. The ecosystem here is fragile. Comments like what you posted destroy it. We need to protect it. That's all that's happening here.

You're far from the only person doing that, and we try to be as fair and even-handed as we possibly can. I know we don't do it perfectly. But https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27643425 was hardly a borderline call.
> The wording sounds as if it is trying to assign blame for the problem.

Yes. It sound like someone that have been in a million discussion about why "that your program crashes is not a bug in our operating system".

Many people, even engineers, expect things to behave as they usually do instead of behave as specified. So, I can imagine how all that discussions go.
When I was a teenager on the swim team in the early 00s, the school had to ban 'deck changing' [changing into or out of your swimsuit in view of the public] because, in a game of one-up[wo]manship, it became overtly sexual with towels falling "by accident." The sort of prudishness described above surprises me.
Why would you want SB+TPM? It's called TPM 2 because only 2 pieces of software support it. Lol.
