> the historical development of quantum theory (in the 1900-1930's period) along-with the in depth technical exposition

Unfortunately, those are two completely different things because the history of the development of QM is a story of people stumbling around in the dark and making tons of mistakes, some of which still weigh down QM pedagogy to this day. So you can have historically accurate, or you can have technically clear, but you cannot have both at the same time. (It is, ironically, a sort of wave-particle duality with respect to quantum theory itself.)

The biggest disconnect between the history and the technical reality is that, historically, entanglement was treated as not much more than a side show, an intellectual curiosity, but not really worthy of a central role in an exposition of QM. Today we know that entanglement is absolutely central to QM. It is in fact what QM is really all about, the thing that really distinguishes it from classical mechanics. And the reason for the long-standing intellectual disconnect is that entanglement doesn't manifest itself until you have two particles (obviously) but the vast majority of the heavy lifting in the early days was analyzing systems consisting of a single particle. Starting out that way incredibly misleading because it hides the distinction between physical space (where particles live) and configuration space (where the wave function lives). When you have only one particle, physical space and configuration space are the same. But that is just a very special case, one which leads you badly astray when you try to understand what is really going on under the QM hood. That's the reason it took so long to figure it out.

I strongly recommend understanding the technical side first, which is really not all that hard if presented properly (which, unfortunately, it very rarely is). But once you understand the technical side in a modern light, the history becomes much easier to grok.
Does this mean we can boot Windows and Linux from the same partition? Just point the EFI boot-loader at a different kernel image for each? Or does NTFS not support mixed NT-style and Unix-style file permissions on the same partition.

Or does the Linux kernel refuse to boot from NTFS, because Linux people hate anything with a Microsoft smell?
Be that change in your own life — you’ll have plenty of chances.

If you look around Amber Heard or Andrew Cuomo, you’ll find a litany of outspoken social justice types who aided those privileged abusers. And that’s what talking about social justice almost universally is: privileged abusers talking about not being such bad people.

HiDPI support on Zorin OS is similar to that of other distros that use GNOME Shell.
Greenwald is claiming that people are becoming less opposed to GCHQ’s spying due to their support for social issues like LGBT rights. I am asking whether there is any evidence to support that.
I love the phrase “comparing apples to oranges” because while I know the intended meaning, the literal meaning is the opposite: they’re both sweet fruits that are common in western society, they’re sliced and juiced and used in a variety of dishes, and they are readily available.

The difference between “stealing cash” and “wage theft” is only a difference in perspective. The employee didn’t perform any labor to earn the money they took so they’ve broken the contract and now they’re in debt to the restaurant. Likewise, an employee’s labor is a fungible resource they control and the expenditure of it that solely benefits the restaurant through a lie (concealing their actions) is no different than someone scamming the person at the register and walking out without paying.
This is great! I had the same thought that tailwind could be css variables and avoid all of the tooling.
All these arguments apply no matter the packaging format. Install scripts can be signed and checksummed too. Only by having your package put into a repository already trusted by the user in advance do you solve these problems, it's not an issue with the packaging format being a shell script versus a deb package.
well the 16" macbook pro is not a powerformance power horse. I'm not really satisfied with it. it feels way worse than my old 2013 model. I think that it is really often thermal limited, especially when turbo boosting.
there is only one difference which is that the so called markup has a special syntax for "children". It's just some arbitrary design decision hardly a technical merit. As a transport they are both crappy as they are text based, why don't you complain about the fact that we waste a significant chunk of the Internet's traffic with these garbage, untyped transports.
> I'm pretty sure first hand that RMS is afraid of trees and bushes and foliage

Have you seriously consider that he could be worried by something that could be in that foliage, like ticks for example?

> fearlessly climbing up to the roof of his house on the evil tree that RMS was afraid of

again, have you consider that he could be worried by how easy would be for a stranger to break into the room climbing the tree and maybe steal his computer? Most people like to have a sense of security and private space when sleeping.
Money

Edit: if I didn't need money to be able to continiue to live a comfortable life I'd quit my job (working for a cloud-based home IoT platform provider, which I hate at the moment) and do something more useful (at the moment, I'm thinking that's a cloud-free semi-self-arranging p2p IoT system, I mean, that would be super cool right?).

Edit2 (I'm super drunk right now edition): I work for SmartThings (a subsidiary of Samsung) because 1. I had a diabolocial plan since before I started here to slowly change it into a local IoT intergration platform since before I started. (Which I've finally released stage 1: https://community.smartthings.com/t/announcement-smartthings... ) and 2. I feel like this is.inconsequential enough that I'm at least not making the world worse than it already is. Also 3, I get paid $133900 a year base salary in Minneapolis which I thing is pretty good. (Lol, again back to money.)
Not much honestly, NTFS is known for corrupting data over a long enough timeline (so it isn't suitable for server storage).
Actually, its closer to 40% of republicans are women, and dropping. The anti-abortion stance of the party is probably one reason for this decline.
No one said anything about chastising people on Twitter except you.
if you're doing SF-LA city center to city center in 5 hours, you're averaging ~75mph, which means you'd likely need to do 90+ through the central valley to make up for slower traffic at each end. it usually takes me ~6 hours with one ~10min stop, averaging ~65mph, timing it to miss rush hour on both sides.
All their laptops are limited to 1920x1080 display resolution. Do you like sharp fonts when you're going to be reading and typing text all day? You can get a Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu preinstalled and a 4K 3840x2160 display. Way higher DPI than a MacBook M1 "retina" display and noticeably sharper fonts. You can also get a Thinkpad X1 Carbon with a 4K display and Linux preinstalled.
There's a federal law giving people the right to sue fax spammers- statutory damages of ~$500 per fax, specifically to get around freedom of speech. I think it was in the 1996 telecom law.

Not sure if it's been litigated.
s/providence/provenance
I believe that there are many people not getting abortions who would benefit significantly from getting abortions, so in that sense I can see more abortions as a positive thing.
I got into crafting with a laser cutter and some printing equipment. After decades of only making things on screens with code, making things you can hold and see in customers' homes is a nice change.

Precisely the error one might say. If you look at history, it’s filled with examples of affecting change and repeating mistakes from lofty towers.

How often is doing nothing attempted?
Sounds like a set up for escalating extortion. Once upon a time there was this gang called the Danes. They ransacked east England periodically. Then the English got an idea. Why not pay the Dane gold not to ransack. And so the Danegeld was born. Eventually England had a Danish King, Cnut, and shortly after was conquered by Danish cousins, the Normans.
Another observation, if we had two different timelines that end up in the same exact state, then this could be an explanation on why time isn't reversible: when we go back in time there's multiple possible pasts, and by looking at the present state of the world we don't know which timeline is the real past (if there's ever such a thing).

The many-worlds quantum interpretation says that, likewise, when we go to the _future_ we also have multiple timelines, and nature somehow just pick one arbitrarily, and this becomes "our" timeline. Then to reverse time, perhaps it's sufficient to employ the same mechanism, but in reverse. (Perhaps there's already beings that live backwards in time, it's just that "their" timeline works that way. Like the movie Tenet). Or even, perhaps each time the timeline splits in the future direction due to quantum phenomena, it also equally splits when going in the past, in the exact same way.

(Well I'm trying to recover some symmetry here, but not sure if it works)
I have an Oryx Pro as my employer-provided workstation. That's their top-end laptop, 8-core 10th gen i7, NVIDIA 2070 GTX discrete GPU, 2 TB NVMe. The firmware works well, I've never had any issues with any peripherals and I use a lot of them. External monitor, bluetooth headsets with mic, WiFi, smart card reader, all works fine.

It does look and feel a little cheaply made. The keyboard is crap, but I mostly use an external wireless keyboard anyway. It's bulky, the fan is loud as hell, everything is crappy plastic. Integrated monitor is only 1080p. But it performs fine.

I also have an identically spec'd, literally same processor, GPU, and storage, MSI Creator, and it is much nicer, thinner, sleek looking, much better looking and solid feeling keyboard, 4k display, extremely quiet fan.

The difference is pretty obvious. It's an even bigger step down from a Macbook. I feel like System 76 is worth supporting as the only vendor out there focusing on Linux-first laptops, and they're the only OEM offering high-performance workstation laptops with Linux pre-installed. But I hope the switch building their own brings them up in quality. They're a big step down from similar Windows and Mac laptops. Linux itself is the only appeal. It actually is a tiny bit cheaper than the MSI and way cheaper than a comparably-spec'd Macbook, though.

But I would only recommend this for work since it is supported and extremely stable and pretty reliable. If you want a high-performance workstation laptop with Linux and are willing to put some upfront effort into self-configuring, get something like the MSI Creator, wipe Windows, and put Arch on it.

>> How is the market for used equipment doing btw?

I sold my stockpile of laptops (anything i5 or newer) for triple it's value last year. People would buy anything at that point.
It got me thinking that a buffer is really just operational insurance, and the cost is "efficiency". I wonder if it's the same average efficiency. If so, my knee-jerk though is that I much prefer the smooth buffered model as opposed to the spiky unbuffered model.
> several dozen children will be saved (due to inability to get abortions)

Believing something doesn't actually make it true. Mother Nature is unaffected by your conceits, even if a crowd of thousands are cheering you on, certain you can fly, your attempt to soar from the roof of the building up into the sky will result in falling to your death 'cos she doesn't give a shit.

They aren't "saving children" by forcing these pregnancies to go ahead except in the same sense they'd be "saving chickens" by enforcing more intensive factory farming techniques like debeaking and cages (also legal in Texas).

It seems to me that under the usual framework in which lawsuits are able to go ahead unburdened by judicial preflight the consequence of these lawsuits when the whole framework is found to be unconstitutional is that those who sued, and perhaps those who sponsored the bill, eat the costs of those defending the suits, such as ongoing child maintenance burden from anyone who can show they were either sued or the threat of suit caused them to go through with a pregnancy that would otherwise have been aborted.

That is, I would assume that "pro-life" groups in Texas and those who support them should expect to be paying for baby food, diapers, kid's clothes, school supplies and eventually college for at least dozens and maybe thousands of children over the expected 12-18 month life of this bill.

In the medium term, we've seen in countries where abortion is outlawed, the nature of modern technology is that the real consequences of that hit home very directly. Rich women of course "go on a trip" to have their abortion safely somewhere with legal abortion, but everybody else is obliged to take matters into their own hands, with too often deadly results.

Consider the Republic of Ireland. Its people were given a free vote on the matter and decided to amend their constitution to provide abortion, mostly in the first trimester although also in some other cases. Of course the US doesn't have a working mechanism to fix its constitution. Too bad, get one or get a fresh system of government and start from scratch.

Yes*, but players build complex machinery fairly often that can span chunk boundaries, so that requires synchronous coordination between the chunks for those machines to work right.
If we change the code, getting rid of if statements, it's easier to see what happens by removing if's.

I've changed BucketReduction to be a pair, and fixed the strange behavior on error. Swapping "fromBurst" and "auto_replenish" would reduce the number of throttling events. This solution does have more
branches than the original, hence readability vs performance. It's still not exception safe, auto_replenish could throw and leave the state undefined.

BucketReduction reduce(long tokens) {
long fromBurst = min(tokens, burst);
burst -= fromBurst;
tokens -= fromBurst;

if (tokens > budget) {
auto_replenish();
}

long fromBudget = min(tokens, budget);
budget -= fromBudget;
tokens -= fromBudget;

long totalConsumed = fromBurst + fromBudget;
if (tokens == 0) {
return new BucketReduction(Success, totalConsumed);
}

if (totalConsumed + tokens > size) {
return new BucketReduction(OverConsumption, totalConsumed);
}

return new BucketReduction(Failure, totalConsumed);
}
USG's bigger problem is that they don't know how to manage software talent or software project ecosystems, than the actual pay.

As long as things continue the way they are you wouldn't be able to convince me to code for USG for any price once I retire in a few years. If anything USG has inspiring enough missions that they should be able to attract and retain talent at a discount, compared to optimizing ad click throughs for companies selling sugar water.
> That doesn't really mesh with the "no productivity hit" arguments though

Sure it does. Any customers who call on Friday will quickly learn you are closed, in future they'll call mon-thurs instead. The no-productivity-hit claim is based on the fact that both businesses and customers are adaptable and quickly change their behavior to match new norms.
Well in this story children were “cured” of their Tourette’s when they were correctly diagnosed and told it was fake.

However, the only acceptable treatment for trans-presenting children is 100% acceptance and affirmation, including a continuing push for puberty-stopping medication.

Given that, then I say there is a risk of harm. If some of those children aren’t trans, but they are being told they are and are given hormones, who knows what damage will happen to them.
Been looking something like this for running dockered software on lx-zones. Will definitely give it a go.
Are you are aware it's not actually context if you quote some completely different website you've never mentioned in the thread before?

If you'd had actually quoted from those links initially when making your comments about script kiddies and hactivists your statements would have made sense. But you didn't and instead of realising this you seems to prefer being outraged that nobody could read your mind to find the context you intended but never provided.
Testing the fair use argument for training won't necessarily answer the question about copyright laundering.

You could easily make the case that training is fair use, but that doesn't have to imply the model's output is non-infringing.

For example, it seems reasonable to train a model by feeding copyrighted texts and images, and that model could be useful for analyzing the content, finding facts, or detecting features. But we're in murky waters when the model also starts outputting the original content (be it verbatim or "derived").

Not all that different from human learning: you can study and learn from publicly available books but that doesn't grant you the right to recite their contents and claim it as your own, original work.
I'm always amazed by how so much Minecraft innovation is driven entirely by hobbyists. For years Minecraft was unplayable on many machines without the Optifine plugin. Even with a huge corporation behind it, Microsoft didn't build the capacity for large-scale servers, and the very large paid servers seem to use region based sharding with portals. This project is truly exciting.
My experiences on Amtrak Boston to NYC (and previously BOS to BWI station) are that it’s slow, expensive, and unreliable in the NE corridor as well. I’m sure it’s profitable for Amtrak, but I’d estimate I arrive within 15 minutes of the published timetable less than half the time.
Widely used public transportation is usually a sign of an efficient and well-developed economy.

When the economy is poorly developed, people have to do many things on their own, because comparable services are not available on the market for a reasonable price. A more developed economy enables a higher level of specialization. When people can buy the services they need from someone else, they can spend their time and money on higher-value activities.

The right comparison is not public transportation vs. private car, but driving your own vehicle vs. buying transportation as a service. The latter can include anything from city buses to chartered jets.
I've talked to a few minarchists and I remember them being against almost all regulations and only supporting court systems, the military, and other institutions that could be corrupted if privately owned. This article seems to support my memory of those debates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-watchman_state#Philosoph...

Minarchy as described in that article would do a very poor job of regulating negative externalities and the criticisms I made in my parent post still apply. I know it's a big world our there and I could probably find a minarchist or even a libertarian who has a reasonable take on regulation of negative externalities, but so far I've been consistently disappointed. And it's not like it's tough to find debates around these subjects.
Did this to my Computer Programming teacher in high-school while he sat in the other room and we could watch him visibly confused. Probably the most vivid memory I h ave from high-school.
In short, the prediction models were only designed for the most common tsunami sizes, and didn't even try to predict larger ones. This has now been changed.
There are two sets of regulations IIRC.

If it’s older than 25 years on import, you can bypass FMVSS/EPA/DOT regulations, so they are always perfectly legal to drive on the federal highway system (incl. at 70-80mph). Some states will refuse to register them though, such as Minnesota or Oregon.

Separately, some states have an import process for cars newer than 25 years old which allows them to be licensed as UTVs/ATVs, so they can go on local roads but are usually speed limited. And iirc, they can’t drive on federal highways.

Yes, there was a time when everyone knew: If you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.
I don't think personalized comments like this are helpful, either to the site or to the argument you're trying to make.
The progression was from twitter to msm to npc.

I will probably get down voted to hell for saying this but everything the west has seen since and including the fall of the USSR was straight out of the Illuminati playbook.

It is classic divide and conquer.
No, Tailwind's classnames come with a set of predefined values.

With all due respect for this project's creators, unless I'm missing something here, this could just as well have been a list of variable names and a link to MDN.
>The problem is that studies that show bad results has a lower chance of been written and a lower chance of been published and a lower chance of been collected in the sites

Okay, but there are basically no studies showing no or negative effects. Except for ones with massive p-values. You'd think there would at least be a few showing no effect.
Anec-data, but I've seen pro-lifers both for and against birth control, so perhaps this is some variance here.

In any event, I don't think being against birth control suggests the belief that a fetus deserves the rights of a child is necessarily implies the belief is in bad faith. Or at least, no more so than believing that murder should be a crime but supporting policies that indirectly lead to more murders (e.g. supporting policies that increase poverty or gun violence).

The more interesting gotcha for me is when pro-lifers concede an exception for rape. I don't think they believe a child born of rape is somehow less deserving of life than a broken condom. So that suggests the belief is less about simple life and death and more about a person's sexual choices.
"he result was a “capped-profit” structure that would limit the return of investment at 100-fold the original sum. If you invested $10 million, at most you’d get $1 billion. Not exactly what I’d call capped."

what bizarre writing style / logic. It is exactly what I would call capped, it's capped at 100x.
It's a public commons, like the roads, air space, and radio frequencies. I think the downvoters see the word "nationalize" and panic over unfounded fears of communism.
>Why should they accept the outcome of democracy and open borders if we chase them around the map and prevent that everywhere?

Because that's how the democracy works, and if they accept it when it works in their favor (as it's designed to,) they can accept when it doesn't.

It isn't illegal to be a liberal and live in Texas and vote, as much as other Texans might wish it were.
> It would be funny if the DoD is attached to waterfall still.

Still? It's been that way for some time, unfortunately.

You're right that the operational military has long been different and much more flexible. Indeed it's quite annoying seeing agile consultants in the private sector refer to the military as examples of agility! Because that's true on the front lines but it is decided not true at the headquarters level.
enough_budget for what though? That's not a very clear variable name.
Any good books or other resources where it is presented well?
