Interesting! Thanks for the clarification
It’s a bunch of comments, not an essay
Why does man use hydro-power even though it is a rather silly idea if he has the technological prowess to generate a lot more power basically at will, basically anywhere, with a lot less resources destroyed, thanks to nuclear energy?

Well, hydro energy is just there, requires comparatively little ongoing maintenance, and has less catastrophic failure modes.

I think the same caveats work for Dyson spheres.
I travel to Europe a lot - being originally from Italy - and they will have to grab my original 30$ per month contract from my cold dead hands. I get - slow - unlimited data when travelling and free SMSs, saved my bacon more than once.

I think they have something similar for 45$.
Oh so electric cars and reusable rockets are easy now!
If you're limited by the compounds available within the solar system, you should forget about building a dyson sphere for other reasons, or building a planet, or any kind of activity that will disturb the orbits of planets.

Few planets are similarly sized as Earth already btw, although with varying densities.
South Africa issues a patent that names an AI system as the inventor
> "We’re going take that responsibility away from the server software, and then farm out multiple copies of this one piece to the SSD, and this is where they’re all going to execute that piece. Somebody’s got to do the chopping up of the server software into the piece that goes into the SSDs.”

This reads like a shiny tech fever dream to me.
In practice, there is no way to reliably know why a stock is changing price. There is lots of insider trading that is so small it does not materially impact the trading prices. As of date, there is no scientifically reliable way to measure "market impact" real-time. I assume the best HFT funds are trying to do this using AI/ML.

It's possible that you didn't read my comment carefully enough.

I wrote: "Physicists knows the exact reason why energy is conserved and why it might not be conserved."

To parse it:

1. exact reason why energy is conserved

2. why it might not be conserved.
Is there any good books telling this story? Seems like a lot of the detail is around but a consolidated kindle read would be great..
Are there any specific topics you would like to learn? (e.g. PLC programming, Machine Vision, IoT, HMI development, ...)

Also is your goal to learn enough to get a job?
But what are you fusing? If you want efficiency I guess you'll be using deuterium etc, of which we only have so much.

After that your efficiency declines until... Well you end up with fusion reactors that look like the sun. You also end up fusing all the mass that we need to live our lives on and make stuff out of.

If you don't think a civilisation could ever need the amount of energy that a Dyson sphere could provide, that's fine, we don't need one.

But if you imagine a civilisation that does need the energy a Dyson sphere can provide, then they make a lot of sense.
That sounds more like a content problem, not a formatting issue

The difference is you need just to change a flag in the process to scan all your pictures on the device no matter if iCloud or not.

But none are the link I posted. The one I posted is from the original developer.
yes. (newest one might just be x86_64, not 100% sure on that)
Apple has the decryption keys to iCloud... It is one of those things that many people assume the other way given Apple's marketing and PR stands.

I for one am aware of this with iCloud and am still using iCloud for convenience (and by choice). If I were in need of better privacy, I can always use the iPhone without iCloud, and it will work. After this "in phone" watchdog implementation, that will not be the case. I will assume that Apple is constantly watching all my unencrypted content in the worst case, on behalf of state actors and intelligence agencies.

We have seen Apple give in to the Chinese government spying because it is the law there. US government could easily ask for this and also apply a gag order preventing Apple from being able to tell the user. The best situation is to lack such a tool.

Ok, earth sized is mainly about 1 g. So yes, also with earths density to be precice. That leaves only venus as a existing alternative.

And I just assume that a civilisation advanced enough to build a dyson sphere, can handle the non trivial orbital mechanics, too. But maybe still cannot travel FTL. So indeed rather choose to build planets, or planet sized space stations.

That would require lots of energy and maybe the need to harvest the sun directly and control the light going out towards the planets.
That is a fair point :)
If you want a 15" linux supported laptop from Dell you need to go with the Precision line.

The XPS 15 is not sold as compatible/supported, only the XPS 13.

(I have an XPS13. It's mostly pretty good except I have regular occasional issues with Wifi when waking up from sleep. The wifi is soldered in so can't be replaced unfortunately. Hopefully that's better on the later versions).

Good news. I switched to WebGPU from OpenGL for my homemade game engine and I am very happy with it. I don't use Rust though, but D, the only time I see Rust code is in the stacktraces when I get an error.

Personally, I think there is a lot of potential for WebGPU outside of web/Rust ecosystems. WebGPU provides a great balance between awkwardness of OpenGL (global state, suboptimal resource binding patterns) and the verbosity and expertise required for Vulkan (barriers, synchronization, everything are needed even for a basic triangle and it only gets harder from there).
While I think this is a reasonably good idea to opt-into and maybe even something I would sign up for, I am worried that something like this will become mandatory by BigCos.

Unix shell programming: the next 50 years
Due to the moratorium on actually testing the nukes by setting them off, some other means of testing the physics involved is needed to predict how the current warheads behave as they age.

This is a super explicit part of all the NIF press releases, and these "stewardship" experiments is what they were doing most of the time last year and. Here's a quote from the LLNL press release as an illustrative example:

“This result is a historic step forward for inertial confinement fusion research, opening a fundamentally new regime for exploration and the advancement of our critical national security missions. It is also a testament to the innovation, ingenuity, commitment and grit of this team and the many researchers in this field over the decades who have steadfastly pursued this goal,” said LLNL Director Kim Budil.
That's important point, yes. Are you one of the few ipv6 users?
They should embed the video in the front page, glad I went back to watch it!

Don't understand why they used a robot voice for an otherwise well thought out and high quality video tho.
For the same time period, if you had put all your money in an ultra low fee ETF that tracks S&P 500... I bet a lot of money the ETF strategy would easily outperform.

Twenty years ago, I used to closely read articles like ... <<<Miller's Legg Mason Fund Beats S&P 500 for 15th Year in a Row>>> Before I understood more about "finding alpha", I assumed you could find an active manager as a retail investor that could beat S&P 500. With age & experience, I no longer believe it true. Legg Mason beat the S&P 500 for a long, long time... but if you look closely, they only beat by a little bit. Then one year they got crushed and gave back all their winnings and trailed S&P 500. Plus you paid active management fees for 20 years. In the end, investors didn't beat S&P 500 over the long term.

It was crushing for me when I put all the pieces together. For so long, I believed I could outsmart the market as a retail trader by finding the right active manager. After that, I never looked back -- 100% ultra low cost passive index trackers against WIDE, well-established indexes, so I'm not "stock picking" by another name.
Why did you opt for PGP? If I understand correctly, your system inherits the lack of PFS.

The twitter thread isn't super clear about the exact mechanics. But If I had to guess, maybe the fleeing fox randomly chooses the path to follow, and because there are more possible paths in the dense parts of the map the odds of selecting one of those is higher. i.e. if I have 6 possible paths to my right, two to my front, and two to my left, if I randomly pick a path there is a 60% change of going right.

Ok, I'll bite. Can this machine be used to 3D print a part and then switch to a sanding/engraving tool to achieve a nice surface finish? The machine is too "floppy" to do any serious milling but it is good enough for some cosmetic surface operations and depending on your target audience, cosmetics might matter a lot.
To me it is both. The UI and UX makes for terrible content, perfect for drama, but hard for clear exchange.

My opinion of course. Those who enjoy the twitter conversations, go for it.
Absolutely agree. Thankfully, threadreaderapp and nitter exist (for now).

isn't it sufficient that they change the function every day or something ?
Ask HN: Follow up on recent AI major announcements?
I am really trying to get updates about or implementation samples from some very recent, hot, media darling AI projects, i.e.: Google’s Brax, OpenAI’s Triton, DeepMind’s Perceiver IO, TensorFlow’s Efficient Net V2… just to name a few since mid July. Still, I can’t find anything substantial yet from third parties out there. Am I missing something? Too new, still in progress, not public, just announced, too complex to digest? Please share your thoughts: being able to implement bleeding edge tech is too much a competitive advantage nowadays, I suspect, to make it in public. Or maybe there are so many novelties incoming, it is too difficult to extract coherent value? Thanks.
The leak was that we generated an auto-incrementing integer order ID and printed it on the inner pack label.

There was part of me that thought about fixing the situation by first adding an extra ~25% bump to the mid-quarter and ~35% to next start of quarter (by incrementing the ID column with a patch). We obviously didn’t, but it was fun to contemplate.

I actually admired the lateral thinking if it was a hedge fund doing research.
It's much better when you use a debug context, although as usual with OpenGL the details vary between graphics card drivers. I had very good debug messages with Nvidia.
What are the ramifications if Apple outright tells the public that they are cooperating with the authorities assuming that there is no gag order?
You are right, but very traditional. Try to think in a modern spirit.

If the logo can be created for by a few hundred bugs of ai service there is no need for it to last longer then a few months.
Also traditional logos were created for print. If you are a 'onscreen only' company, there is really no need for a simple logo. (dont bother about asset size when the average website includes several mb of spam and js frameworks)

Further I would not know why a ai would eventually not be capable of generating a 'simple' logo with just blezer curves and few colors.

Lastly I think many of these 'simple logos' are boring. I admit I prefer the ai logos from the post. Yes call me a barbarian and yes the human drawn logo's could probably be better if made by a top notch designer (and costs $$$$$).

The future will probably be a hybrid situation where the designer is aided by ai.

This thing is not very rigid and the interconnections are made of plastic. There is a lot of flex and anything other than soft materials can not be milled with any precision.

One main reason professional 5 axis CNC machines are so expensive is because they are very rigid yet can move quickly and precisely.

How we migrated to thin clients was also a fun project.

First batch of users used a windows client on their pc.
When we after some time commited to the solution we built a really tight linux os image with only the citrix client that we pxe booted the PC’s with.

This allowed us a fallback in case of emegergency by simply rebooting a user.

This was a fun project in and of itself!

As we grew confident together with the users we started to phase in thin client instead of buying new PC’s - all in all we ended up with a really cost efficent and high performing setup.

We started to move the central infra from “hyperconverged” to commodity 2u servers with local solid state disks which really made it easy and cheap for us to scale.

It also made the whole service more reliable compared the integrated blade and storage solutions we were ushered in to at first.
I've never heard of this, cheers for the heads up! I'll definitely have a look into it.
> "That’s what CSV is."

That's really not a serious argument against CSV. Since you paraphrase in a silly way, I can do it too! Your "argument" is "Badly formatted files exist, therefore CSV bad".

Everyone "against CSV" seems to be arguing against badly formatted CSV, and leaping to the conclusion that "CSV is just bad" without much more to say about it. I'm sorry that badly formatted CSV gave you a bad time, but the format is fine and gets its job done.

"It doesn't have x, y or z feature therefore no one should be using it ever" is kind of a dumb argument, honestly.
That's cool, I can emulate 32 if necessary :)

The main benefit is probably a wider flatter efficiency curve. Instead of saying "this power supply is 98% efficient when delivering 1 Amp (but more like 80% efficient at 0.1 amps or 2 amps), the power supply can adjust the switching frequency to trade off switching losses and output ripple for efficiency if the application allows.

Since testing nuke behaviour is an explicitly stated goal, I don't see how your objection to the assertion that nuclear weapons research is the reason the NIF is getting funded by saying the results could have other uses?

As others pointed out, it depends on your energy needs. You need matter for fusion and almost all of the matter of the solar system is in the sun so you can either extract mass from the sun and do the fusion yourself or... let the sun do the fusion, as it already does, and just harness that

Pretty much the opposite here. Dealing with lots of different formats from different sources, often once off. There's all kinds of crazy things people will call "data" (CSV 'variants' are the tip of the iceberg).
When I read "avoid a catastrophic space collision", I thought about an asteroid hitting the earth and endangering life itself. Compared to that, a "catastrophic collision that knocks out one or more satellites key to their safety, economic well-being or both" sounds rather like an inconvenience. Of course, it could be "catastrophic" too, but there is catastrophe, and then there is catastrophe...

Rigidity of the frame is key for accurate and safe subtractive manufacturing.

You do not want your frame to flex while a spindle is cutting aluminium at 20kRPM. See Marco Reps and Kris Temmerman on youtube, they built formidable high precision CNC mills out of steel and concrete. For machines that rely on frames made out of extruded aluminium, flexing has always been an issue, even with much sturdier designs such as the Avid CNC machines.

Also, FYI, in a lathe the workpiece spins, and in a mill the tool spins.
I believe you can write your own completely separate standard library if you want to (much like each platform typically has it's own libc). It's just that it's easier to manage the first-party supported platforms as one codebase.
