The /0 1 gives it away practically immediately for me, but that might just be because I've seen/used that particular example so many times.
I wouldn't mask in that situation, I'd quarantine. If I were knowingly exposed to Covid I'd quarantine until both time and testing determined I was not sick.

Covid is undoubtedly serious and responsible people should take measures in cases where they are a genuine risk to others. But it is unscientific, immature, and stupid to simply assume people are a risk despite any evidence to the contrary.
Why do you say it's a non-SI unit? Seems to me it is. I mean, it's a derived unit, not a fundamental unit; but still SI.
There are almost no details. The "biomimicry" looks like the standard fluff around this kind of projects.

The only difference in the graphic between this and my air conditioner is that the air that is cooled to extract the humidity is used to refrigerate the compressed fluid. But this is an obvious improvement that I guess that all the dehumidifiers use it. Let's look in Google images https://www.google.com/search?q=dehumidifier+inside+diagram&... It looks pretty standard.

There are other red flags, like a long introduction about using it in the desert and then testing it in a humid site.

The part about waste heat is also dubious. The problem is the second law of thermodynamics. To do something useful you need something like electricity or heat at a high temperature, but most of the waste heat is at low temperature. It's possible to extract some work of it, but only a very small part. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat

You can find the oral irrigator/toothbrush combos for looking for faucet oral irrigator on amazon. Maybe I'd misremembered the shower ones that are harder to find for the combos of both, but they're easy enough to find for a faucet adapter.
Formulating hypothesis first, even with little knowledge, is fine as long as the point is to invalidate them (basically you assume they are wrong and you’re fine spending time to prove it).

It can help focus the data gathering phase, and you get two results: you can ignore your first hypothesis from now on, and you have further data to look at to formulate a decent hypothesis to expand on.

No you don't need a prescription. You can get pure 99% CBD isolate online for around $25-30 a gram or less if you're buying larger quantities.
This is a tradeoff I've grappled with a lot in the past 5-6 years. I was in my mid-twenties at the start of that period, and I generally have chosen money over passion. Part of my reasoning was that I could try and utilize some of that money to hire people to work on my areas of passion for me, and I could just oversee that work.

I think overall it's yielded mixed results. For me, part of choosing the money meant being committed to a full-time job, and that challenged me in ways I don't think I would have been able to simulate had I not chosen that path. The main value was the growth in a variety of soft skills -- leadership, ability to critique products and maintain high standards for quality, communication skills, overall discipline and professionalism. I think those areas of growth were a lot more valuable than the actual money.

I'm very proud of being able to financially support my family, and I probably take for granted the fact that we haven't really had to worry much about money for half a decade. So there are certainly upsides to choosing the money.

I do feel envious of my peers that have chosen their passion and been successful going down that path -- I feel like they've gotten to experience the best of both worlds and I wish I was in that group. But there are probably a lot of my peers who tried to choose their passion and failed, and I feel lucky that I'm not in that group. Ultimately, in my case, choosing the money was a bit of a hedge to ensure a middle-ground -- I didn't have to worry about failing but I eliminated my chance to get the best of both worlds.

If I could go back in time right now and do things over, I would probably try to find a way to instead choose passion, but do so with some form of strong mentorship in place to help support me from the start. Easier said than done to find the right mentorship structure, but I think that's what I'm hoping to transition toward for my next 5-6 years.

In terms of your situation, I'd encourage you to question whether the MSc is really necessary -- if your goal is to code or be an awesome SWE at a cool startup, the MSc is probably not a good use of your time.

I also want to strongly second the others in here giving the advice to not count on equity & not trust the projections they gave you. Any actual money you hope to get out of that might only be realized years away at best, and never realized at worst. You might still want to make that bet, but make sure you do so with a full understanding of how risky a bet it can be.

Agreed. The pattern matching part is easy. That’s what bores me about math.

For that, one has to really practice these problems and not just hope to get a FAANG gig writing run of the mill business logic every day.

Very well said. I actually came here to write a comment criticizing the post because the fact that this was “negative” has to do with the order in which the experiment took place. Flip it and you have a different sentiment. A similar point can be made but an explanation of “it’s very slow” presumes an assumption that every statement in rust will be maximally optimized via specialization which I consider to be an unreasonable expectation.
That's easy - it's Earth.

Don't you just need to compress some of your lifting gas? Just pump/compress it into a tank, reverse it when you need the lift?
I think the pattern recognition happens once the concept “clicks”.

At some point you build a machine in your brain that automates and simulates some mechanics and your role shrinks into feeding the machine with the relevant information. Then it’s easy, you can imagine what will happen just by looking at the problem.

I believe the trick is to properly understand the low level basics, explore edge cases and play with the machine as you build it.

Many people will try to learn the basics of the highest level possible, then proceed to master methods and cases without deeply understanding the subject. They cannot compete with the person doesn’t know too much but has very deep grasp on it, working the way from there.

Indeed. So the technical answer to "what happens if you stick your head in a particle accelerator" is "nothing, since without a vacuum particles can't be accelerated to high speeds" -- the question answered by the article is "what happens if you stick your head in a beam originating from a particle accelerator".

"For outward bound trajectories, the sail force vector is oriented forward of the Sun line, which increases orbital energy and angular momentum, resulting in the craft moving farther from the Sun. For inward trajectories, the sail force vector is oriented behind the Sun line, which decreases orbital energy and angular momentum, resulting in the craft moving in toward the Sun. It is worth noting that only the Sun's gravity pulls the craft toward the Sun—there is no analog to a sailboat's tacking to windward. To change orbital inclination, the force vector is turned out of the plane of the velocity vector."

I thought this article was kind of bad and then I noticed the author is an astrologist. Guess that adds up
The 'zero cost' attitude is one of C++ problems. Zero cost abstractions are never really entirely zero cost. You still pay, often in something that you didn't bother to measure, which (in C++) is usually compile time or programmer productivity or programmer cognitive cost or compiler complexity.

There's a reason a lot of the complaints about C++ mention bloat or the difficulty of practically choosing a safe subset (you could use a subset, but you're very likely dependent on coworkers, existing codebases and library authors which may not share your subset). A lot of people added 'zero cost' stuff, and all of that has a cost.

For example, lets say Rust's newtype pattern worked perfectly everywhere, and all of the author's examples run fine as u8 with no runtime cost. There would likely still be a small cognitive cost to learn this, a small cost to unwrap the types (for other programmers reading the code), and a tiny cost in compile time. Typedefs are worth it, and it's all very reasonable to pay this!

But there's still a cost, and when people never believe there's a cost a language ends up like C++.

> we are convinced that the ‘big data’ approach to NLU is not only psychologically, cognitively, and even computationally implausible

I wish they didn't just breeze by the psychological and cognitive perspectives. Because even if the giant corpus/giant language model approach can do a lot of understanding-related tasks under the right conditions ... you would never claim to be teaching a child English by having them look at endless piles of documents. You interact with them. You _show_ them things in the world that the words name. They get what they want faster when they learn to say what they want. They "understand" words and sentences in reference to things and experiences. What does it even mean for a network to "understand" language when not exposed to other representations of objects, actions, etc?

Suppose you could time travel and bring English language technical documents back to a Mesopotamian cult (I only care that they haven't seen the latin alphabet), and you got a community of priests to study them as scripture, and after years of study they could tell you which symbols were missing from a sequence, or which symbols appear in the same contexts, or generate a plausible sequence of symbols and flag implausible ones, but they had no idea what the words referred to -- would they have "understood" anything?

Suppose you read a scifi book which makes new words or even has some weird typographic trick to represent something that's definitely out of corpus (e.g. the Language in Embassytown), you can understand it regardless, not because your model tells you about the relationships between those words and other words, but because you have conceptual frames for the situations, actions, intents etc.

Really interesting to hear that last bit about the certification.

> The point of this post is not to bash the Rust team, but rather to raise awareness. Language design is a difficult process full of contradictory tradeoffs. Without a clear vision of which properties you value above all else, it is easy to accidentally violate the guarantees you think you are making. This is especially true for complex systems languages like C++ and Rust which try to be all things to all people and leave no stone of potential optimization unturned.

This paragraph is worth highlighting. Say yes to everything and vision becomes meaningless. Can't move in one direction when you're pulled by an infinite number of stakeholders on all sides.

"The man saw a boy with a telescope."

There is NO exact interpretation of the above sentence. It is possible that the man peered through a telescope to see the boy, or that the man saw a boy who had a telescope.

One may reasonably argue that one interpretation is more likely but either may be true.

Ambiguity is an immense problem in semantic analysis, compounded by assumed speaker intent, etc.

Ultimately there is no exact interpretation or meaning of all language unfortunately.
I think a proper solution would be to expose the trait `IsZero` [0] as that is used to figure out when it is correct to use `calloc` instead of having to do `malloc` -> `memset` [1].
I don't know if there is any plans for exposing that trait, but it would be a nice thing to see.

Because a mechanical watch is inferior old technology and exists for non practical reasons. A quartz watch is better in essentially every single way. It is the technical progression beyond a mechanical watch.

I'm not saying the mechanical watch is bad because obviously people like them for historical and emotional reasons but there is basically no reason practically to use them.

Your narrative would involve such a plan spanning both Trump and Biden administrations, which seems unlikely.

I’m in Europe and have also seen a lot of stories out of Belarus. I doubt the governments here were all in on the plan.

I have no idea how any US action in Belarus would remind the EU of anything? Belarus isn’t in the EU, nor does the regime enjoy any support.

'Initially set to the same time, these identical battery-powered clocks will eventually fall out of sync, or may stop entirely. Conceived shortly after Gonzalez-Torres’s partner was diagnosed with AIDS, this work uses everyday objects to track and measure the inevitable flow of time. When one of the clocks stops or breaks, they can both be reset, thereby resuming perfect synchrony. In 1991, Gonzalez-Torres reflected, "Time is something that scares me. . . or used to. This piece I made with the two clocks was the scariest thing I have ever done. I wanted to face it. I wanted those two clocks right in front of me, ticking."'

We don't need to emit carbon to live the lives the developed world lives today. The whole of the earth's population can live at our standard of living and emit no carbon.

For everything we do, we can develop and scale technologies to substitute carbon emitting tech for clean tech. We can fight desertification, and restore habitats. Arguments against this usually boil down to "Well, it hasn't happened yet, so it can't happen and it won't happen".

But it will, though it won't be easy. As Covid vaccinations show, there's really nothing in the world that would make everyone do the simple, sensible thing, so we'll stumble forward, but we'll get there.
Ok but the premise of physical harm in person comes from the parent comment, not mine:

"Ore genesis" is the term of art in geology for how various mineral ores form. Typically this involves a source, transport, and trap. Biological processes can play a major role (iron, limestone).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ore_genesis

Useful ore deposits tend to be vast, with absoutely immense amounts (many trillions tons) of paydirt. The value of ores are that the minerals of interest are concentrated, sometimes to very high levels (50% or more of total material), though increasingly lower-grade ores (1% concentration or lower) are utilised. This means that you've got to move 99 units of mass for every unit of primary mineral extracted (overburden).

Even very large human formations are small by geological standards. The World Trade Centre towers contained about 200,000 tonnes of steel. That's a lot for humans, but a minuscule amount on a geological scale. (https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/EricChen.shtml)

Current iron ore extraction is on the order of about 2.5 billion tons/year. That's roughly 1/3 ton per person on Earth.
