See section 4.2, and in particular the paragraph that starts "Here's the kicker..."

It is true that you can't tell if a single particle is entangled or not. But if you have an ensemble of particles all prepared in the same state then you can tell if that state is entangled or not. Non-entangled (a.k.a. pure) states have a preferred basis that produce self-interference. Entangled (a.k.a.) mixed states do not.

(The pure-mixed dichotomy is a little misleading because it depends on your point of view. A single member of an EPR pair is in a mixed state, but the pair as a whole is in a pure state.)

It was the 1980s, and I had just started working in the stock room at the local Montgomery Wards (A department store similar to Sears). Less than 2 months in, most of my co-workers were arrested and taken to jail, (they had been stealing by the truck load!) leaving me to handle all the pickups (the dock at the back of the store where you get your TV, etc) by myself on the Friday before Christmas.

I did the best I could, as I still didn't even know where things were... but everyone got pissed as I got up to 2 hours behind...and took one insult too many, so I left.

I have a bit of regret, and I believe I could have handled it better had I managed expectations, etc... but I was a kid thrown in over his head.

A lot of this new cloud stuff doesn't really scale down, it reminds me of Oracle, back in the day.

I had something like a desktop PC with 1GB of RAM, maybe 20 years ago, don't remember exactly how long ago. It was average, not too much but not too low either. Once I installed Oracle DB, it was idling at 512MB. Absolutely no DBs and no data set up, just the DB engine, idling at half the RAM of an average desktop PC.

Both Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin offer you ~4 minutes of weightlessness.

Can this sub-orbital model scale in such a way to have, say, 60 minutes of weightlessness? Or is the "straight up, straight down" model such that sub-orbital flight has a cap at 4?
Well... we get to some sort of "then" regardless. I'm all for challenging norms and striving forward, sexual liberation and such. I just don't think only fans represents that better, more accepting world. Do you?

"I saw a well regarded movie recently where the main characterized Buddhism as "a philosophy rather than a religion" which made it clear that no Asians had been involved in the making of that film."

Asians are as capable as anyone else at secularizing Buddhism (or of doing anything else, really).

Take the example of D T Suzuki[1] himself -- the man who is arguably more responsible than anyone else for bringing Buddhism to the West.

"In the mid-20th century, Japanese lay scholar D. T. Suzuki was instrumental in creating a Zen which would be acceptable to Westerners, a project undertaken to position post WWII Japan as a modern, powerful nation and its culture as refined and superior in the face of Western hegemony. Suzuki sought to remove Zen from its historical and cultural context and make it accessible and applicable to everyone. This extraction cut its ties to monks and monasteries, the precepts, sangha life, rituals and teachings, and set up instead the individual internal experience of awakening as the only reliable "truth." Positioning Zen as based on the truth of personal experience protected it from rejection as superstition or as a creation of a bewildered community. At the same time, it could not be replaced by science or rationalism because the awakening experience was said to be subjective and ineffable. It was beyond all the limitations of organized sects, cultural manifestations, or political exigencies. As Robert Sharf explains,"

"The notion of "pure Zen"--a pan-cultural religious experience unsullied by institutional, social, and historical contingencies--would be attractive precisely because it held out the possibility of an alternative to the godless and indifferent anomic universe bequeathed by the Western Enlightenment, yet demanded neither blind faith nor institutional allegiance. This reconstructed Zen offered an intellectually reputable escape from the epistemological anxiety of historicism and pluralism."[2]

"Several scholars have identified Suzuki as a Buddhist modernist... Buddhist modernist traditions often consist of a deliberate de-emphasis of the ritual and metaphysical elements of the religion, as these elements are seen as incommensurate with the discourses of modernity. Buddhist modernist traditions have also been characterized as being "detraditionalized," often being presented in a way that occludes their historical construction. Instead, Buddhist modernists often employ an essentialized description of their tradition, where key tenets are described as universal and sui generis. It was this form of Zen that has been popularized in the West... In his discussion of humanity and nature, Suzuki takes Zen literature out of its social, ritual, and ethical contexts and reframes it in terms of a language of metaphysics derived from German Romantic idealism, English romanticism, and American transcendentalism."[1]

Secure how?

Obtaining a public certificate from a well-known registrar requires Internet connectivity for the ACME protocol, and that's at odds with the other best-security-practice of isolating internal systems like NAS devices well away from general Internet connectivity.

The problem is even worse for home routers. They need Internet connectivity to have a chance of obtaining a certificate, but since they provide that connectivity to a network they can't obtain the certificate until they're set up. But setup generally happens via a web browser and captive portal, so we're right in the middle of a bootstrapping problem.

https/TLS everywhere on the public Internet is a great thing, but it's not a reasonable expectation for private networks with private devices.

Forking the code doesn't fork the copyright ownership. Stockfish still owns the code under their copyright regardless of whether it lives in their repository or in some fork of their codebase.

Terrible argument.
“Comrades!' he cried. 'You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself.

We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.”

low-earth orbit is around 90 minutes per orbit, so 60 minutes may be possible but I think it would require odd re-entry or a distant recovery that wouldn't be economical, probably at that length they'd just go into orbit.

Yes. Much more, even by very conservative estimates.

Just probably not in our lifetimes. The maximum sea level rise will be hundreds, even thousands of years from now. In the absolute worst case scenario where all the ice melted, sea level would rise 230 feet. If we did nothing at all about climate change and kept burning fossil fuels until we ran out, that's actually a likely outcome. It has happened in the past when the earth was much warmer. It won't happen to us, because we're taking action. The final sea level rise would depend how we do with actively removing CO2 from the atmosphere, as it will keep rising long after we stop using fossil fuels.

7 feet by the end of this century is not impossible, but not in the conservative estimate. So far we've been tracking the aggressive estimates, not conservative ones.
In my experience with NCBI it's better mostly because other tools or schemes provided by them kinda sucked, but FTP servers were there since forever and grew to be well organized and stable. Outside of this niche, no.
The problem with that analogy is it gives an illusion of understanding while being completely misleading about what Bell’s inequality actually tells us about nature.

The whole point of Bell’s inequality is that quantum entanglement is fundamentally different than classical correlation between two objects which have some opposite properties the observer simply does not know about before observing one of them.

It’s not helpful to use an analogy which teaches the reader the exact opposite of the point you are trying to make.

Your example with decaying atoms suffers from the same misunderstanding. Quantum entanglement is not about lack of information about some specific states, if that was the case, why would anyone talk about loss of locality?

Understanding entanglement and Bell’s inequality requires a completely different ontology than your everyday experience with classical objects. I highly recommend the video I linked above for an approachable explanation. It is not as simple as these analogies but at least it gets to the actual point of this result which tells us something profound about how nature works.
The universe seems to have surely went to great lengths to trick its own atoms into believing they have free will. :)

Whatever convenience you think Kubernetes provides over EC2/autoscaling (which Kubernetes uses, by the way) is several orders of magnitude less than the convenience of using a cloud provider.

That you would draw on-prem versus cloud as an equivalency to Kube vs other deployment methods reeks of inexperience, to me.

There are lots of URI schemes in use. Firefox removing support for FTP doesn't mean that you can no longer open FTP links from Firefox, it just means that they'll need to open in another client. I don't see how this breaks the web.

I suppose it's cold comfort for Americans in the West who've been dealing with the second year running of record fire seasons that the Russians also mismanaged their forests into rampant wildfires.
Original: https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20...

Note that the title "Majority of Unvaccinated Americans Believe Microchips Are in Vaccines" is not exactly what the story says:

> One in five Americans believes the US government is using the COVID-19 vaccine to microchip the population

That statement is open to interpretation. While some may literally believe that there are microchips in the vaccine (and I am not trying to defend or justify that at all), others may believe the vaccination campaigns do enhance both the various governments' and the industry's ability to enhance tracking of individual information. This belief might be entirely justifiable among, say, undocumented populations, or among people who know people who went to collect a prize and got served etc.

It wouldn't be completely off the wall for someone to interpret "to microchip the population" as referring to tracking. The use of the noun as a verb is rather odd: If I were reviewing the survey design before it was conducted, I would have recommended phrasing it as: "The U.S. government is using the COVID-19 vaccine to inject microchips into people."

Also, by "majority" they mean 51% think "definitely/probably true" after rounding ("don't know" 16%, "definitely/probably false 34%).

Looking at the crosstabs[1]:

* It is interesting that incidence of side effects is increasing in income

* Incidence of vaccine side effects is greater in the northeast and the west

Interestingly, neither the crosstabs[1] nor the toplines[2] actually show the belief in conspiracy theory breakdown by vaccination status.

There are a lot of questions in this survey. The most important seems to be that 50% think the country is on the wrong track and 35% think it is generally headed in the right direction with 15% not sure. 3% think the state of the economy is excellent. 45% approve of Biden's handling of the economy. 44% think there is a nonzero chance the moon landings were fake.

It is not obvious to me what to make of this, other than to urge readers to check tabulations for surveys with click-bait reporting.

He's obviously writing about his own perspective. That would be fine, but he tries so hard to dress it up as logic and math. He doesn't address the conservative end of the problem where so many 25-35 year old men are belly-aching about how they can't find a girlfriend while being extremely hostile to women. Honestly, that's the horseshoe he ought to be looking at. I'm not even in the dating pool and I've got plenty of stories of guys who say that women are manipulative, less intelligent than men, overly emotional, and overall inferior and then wonder why no woman wants to date them.

How about we just agree that very few people want to date someone who hates their gender?
Western "Buddhism" as repackaged solipsism is totally antithetical to the teachings of the Four Noble Truths.

Probably because the Four Noble Truths are antithetical to Christianity, liberalism and capitalism, the core aspects of Western culture.

Funny, I never understood how you could possibly send a message using entanglement. Try to explain how would you do it, and either you will understand why it can't be done... or earn a Nobel prize. Win-Win.
I strongly disagree and would argue that we usually only get to "then" by active struggle, not just by waiting around.

And yes, I absolutely do think that normalization of sex, both for profit and otherwise, is an indispensable part of a more accepting world. OnlyFans has already helped move that needle considerably.
Any company past circa 2002sh or so, and definitely by 2005, is intimately aware of their intellectual property responsibilities, and, it's the opposite problem that I've run into - in which tons of strawmen are thrown up as to the danger of infecting products with open source licenses makes it dangerous to touch the code. One of the reasons why BSD licenses are so attractive to corporations, is that they run the lowest risk. GPLv3 is obviously a non-starter for most companies, with GPLv2 falling somewhere in the middle.

I feel like "awareness" might be a good term to describe what they are meaning by "conscious"

I think they mean conscious as in "to be conscious of", for example: I exited my house while daydreaming/thinking about other things, so I was not "conscious of" the fact that I did not bring my keys with me aka I did not have awareness or was not operating in the moment/mindfully because my mind was elsewhere

I think they're attempting to describe the difference between being present/aware of every moment we experience, vs. a habitual 'autopilot state' that we can find ourselves in (the phenomena of driving somewhere and then not even remembering the drive there, for instance) where we're really not aware of what's going on in our lives, because the mundane things are so habitual that we don't even need to be fully aware of what we're doing to do it - but that alternatively, choosing and teaching ourselves to be aware at all times, even during our mundane, habitual routines, is potentially a better way to exist
At one time (before 9/11) you could walk into the airport in Minneapolis and be in the air to Chicago in 20 minutes (airplanes left every 15 minutes), buy your ticket at the gate. Of course this is a busy route and the airline decided it was worth running empty seats to ensure it could happen.

There is no technical reason airplanes couldn't do this for any city pair. There are reasons that airplanes don't operate this way, but they are not because it is technically impossible. Politically you can't get rid of the security theater, and yield management probably is the most profitable way to run airplanes, but both could change if we wanted to.

> In other words, I don't think training on copyrighted code violates copyright (UNLESS the license explicitly disallows that; maybe there will be licenses for that soon).

This was discussed on another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27740001

A new license saying "this license does not permit use in training an AI" won't have any effect, because the claim by the trainers is that they don't need to license the work in the first place. Unfortunately this is likely to be something that's only settled ad hoc in court.
The enshrinement of property rights in America has led to such wonderful things as ridiculous housing prices, rampant income inequality, endemic homelessness, the absurdity of Prop 13, etc. and yet we still trumpet it. When do we start reexamining these foundations?

We can always find something to justify putting on airs of superiority, but the fact remains that our infrastructure stagnates while the rest of the world manages to modernize. Forget the China comparisons if they are so triggering. Europe still manages public works. Individual rights have to give at some point for the good of society.
