For those who are saying "change jobs", first you have to get back to the point that you can work at all.

Honestly, no matter what you do it just takes time, just like healing from a physical injury. Some of the other advice here (exercise, get away from screens, etc.) can help speed the process up a bit, but you can overdo those as well.

One minor tip I can offer relates to the "get away from screens" advice: e-ink ebook readers seem to be an exception you can make, especially if you leave them in airplane mode.

Another is to keep a notebook with you to jot notes in. Writing stuff down helps clear it out of your head. Even if you never actually read a note again, you could if you really need to, which is enough to stop thinking and stressing about it. And I do mean writing. Try to only use your phone for note taking that is immediately actionable and deletable (like a grocery list), and you should have very few of those (like, 2-3).
I really hope sci-hub survives this. Sci-hub and libgen are like an entirely different internet, one allowing you to dive as deep as you wish into any technical subject. There’s really no comparison I have found anywhere for the depth of material available. People always point to Wikipedia, but all of that is surface level. If you to build something, research something, or just really delve into it, there’s no substitute for having access to all of the latest textbooks, manuals, and papers. I’ve never found any source paid or otherwise that comes even close.

(Physicist here.) Looked at TOC, then skimmed some chapters. The special relativity part of the book is about as deep and denser than most undergraduate introductions, with less motivations and intuitive discussions. The general relativity part is dense by necessity (after all 95% of it is differential geometry, no way around it), and this book apart from being way more condensed isn’t in any way diluted.

It’s a compact book of essentials for mathematically minded people*. It’s not a shallower-than-textbooks accessible introduction one step up from pop science.

* If you only ever took some linear algebra and calculus for engineering students, this probably doesn’t describe you.
Comment everything. The worst thing that can happen is somebody concludes "nope, that's not true anymore." To avoid describing the system entirely is nothing but laziness. Rationalize it however you like, it's just laziness.

What’s scary is the immense gap in capabilities permitted to copyright holders in identifying violations because of the closed nature of the platform.

Instagram, like Facebook, Apple , Google or any other tech company has the capability to detect “similar” images. Indeed, they use this information in addition to information about inferred concepts of the image to rank and suggest similar images to users when they scroll through the search page or discover.

This act of “suggesting” content that has been known to have had copyright flags against it makes them complicit in my opinion.

That they have only one, highly guarded way to search for related content is an insult (try finding this method I’m speaking about without me providing any other keywords other than to say it’s a partner only integration where signatures of content can be uploaded for protection)
Yeah I hear you about the Python syntax. When I was making my turtle graphics language for kids, SeaTurtle[0], I thought about just quitting when I found out about the Python turtle module. But then I figured out that a big part of the beauty of Logo for the littlest of kids was the dead simple syntax. Having even simpler syntax than Python is a win for Logos or Logo clones. It's really the only reason to start a kid on them instead of a "real" programming language.

The expense ratios of leveraged ETFs are nothing compared to the volatility drag. There are far cheaper and more effective ways than leveraged ETFs for buy-and-hold investors to obtain leverage, notably LEAPs and index futures. (Disclaimer: Not investing advice, do your own research, etc.)
For certain Wayland implementations (GNOME) that is not necessary, as there are no privileged interfaces that are exposed over wayland. The privileged interfaces are part of the flatpak portal which are filtered using a d-bus proxy. The biggest security worry you might have there is the GPU, which you need to expose to the sandbox if you want to run modern apps and games, etc. I don't know about other implementations, they could be doing other bad things over the wayland socket which break the flatpak and snap security.
The crime is bad in South Africa, yes, but it's not the worst in the world. Same with the corruption. One good thing South Africa has going for it is that the media and judiciary are stil independent, and criticising the government is seen as a public duty. South Africa also has a higher GDP per capita than Ukraine. Yes, it is one of the most unequal countries in the world, but the rather cynical consequence of that is that if you're in the middle class, your life is on par with that of a middle-class American.

Instagram is hardly a “small innocent creator”, they are a platform and if they are able to provide a scaled process to blast copyrighted content to hundreds of millions of people with no consequence, that is just not fair.

The issue here is they deliberately curtail the ability of these very small innocent creators you speak of (read the article) by burying them in paperwork and forcing them to adopt a 1:1 reporting approach for each and every single piece of content and continue to blast them with follow up emails for each of those before they do anything about the content that has by then, accumulated the bulk of its impressions and views.

It is in their financial interests to adopt this stance as they provide a “free” service that relies on the work on content creators(legal or not) to generate interest within their audiences.

If those content creators have a recourse that’s so pathetic as to be called a joke, then I’d say they’re liable to these guys.

You have a point but I feel when people say "theoretical" they have specific (or, more narrower) meanings. As in, if you can't express it in mathematical models, it's not "theoretical". Probably "analytical" is a better name?

So, Faraday very likely had a very good mental model and "instinctive" feel about how these things work, as you said, just that did not count as theoretical prowess.

This is an oddly snarky response to someone just sharing their experience, but you seem to be reading it matter-of-factly. She's upfront about having just graduated, and having 2-years of experience with a math background and not a CS background.

She clearly covered a lot of good ground in that time, and even took the time to write a 6000+ word article.

A minimal approach to run graphical applications inside a Docker container is this one-liner:

docker run -it --rm -e DISPLAY --net=host -v $XAUTHORITY:/root/.Xauthority -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix debian:11-slim

Then inside the container, run:

apt update
apt install firefox-esr
firefox

Now Firefox runs inside the container and you can use it.

Flying cars' most significant hurdle is not energy, but safety. Commercial air travel is only safer than automobile travel because of the high levels of coordination and regulation that exist around it. Think of all of the humans (nevermind software) and their cooperation involved in planes taking off and landing safely. Then add in the fact that planes are constantly being maintained by mechanics, on much more frequent intervals than automobiles. Compare what is considered a safe distance between two moving automobiles, and two moving planes. When these safe distances are violated by planes, even when no actual collision occurs, investigations occur.

Inherent to the success of flying cars is widespread adoption by the masses. If they're only available to multimillionaires, why would they be any more attractive than private jets, which are already available to those same people? Thus, the success of flying cars would require similar levels of coordination and regulation, only for many many more times the number of aircraft. If instead, its every pilot for themselves, as it is with automobiles, flying cars will end up being far more deadly than autos, given that low speed car accidents don't often result in deaths, whereas an aircraft collision of any kind can be catastrophic. More aircraft in the air will also mean higher density of aircraft in the air, making coordination even more critical than it already is.

The easy answer to all of this is to say that software will replace all of these currently human roles. But just think of how far away level 5 autonomy is for cars. In the case of a car, most dangerous scenarios can be mitigated by slowing down or stopping. The aircraft equivalent of stopping is to land, which is obviously not as simple as decreasing speed, and is also not feasible without a runway of some kind.

> Unless you are super sensitive with allergies, you kind of have to be a little dead on the inside to not see the appeal.

I have dahlias and roses growing right now. It's not that I don't experience the appeal ... It's that I'm curious how flowers initially became appealing. I think it's a failure of imagination to just claim that flowers are intrinsically attractive and not ask any further questions.

I think you're begging the question, as someone who enjoys flowers and descends from many many generations who have enjoyed flowers. When do you suppose the earliest ancestor who gathered flowers for aesthetic appreciation was? Chimps don't do it, so far as I know. Other great apes don't. The rest of the animal kingdom doesn't use them as we do. So a whole long chain of ancestors didn't care about flowers from an aesthetic perspective, and then perhaps there was a transitional period, and now modern humans really like them. What happened?

The idea of flowers as a display of wealth or the appeal to cultural use of oils from flowers all seem too late as explanations, in that they presume that flowers in particular were already appealing.

For color and fragrance, why don't we value other natural sources in the same way? Beetle carapaces or bird feathers can be colorful and all sorts of organic matter can be fragrant. But we aren't drawn to use them in the same way, for the most part.
'will chew'?? The use of future tense is somewhat strange. We already live in a tech panopticon.

Went the other day to an old friend's house. At the door, a Ring eye unblinkingly stared at me. For a few moments I felt like crushing the metallic monstrosity under the heel of my boot: I never consented to have my face uploaded in the Cloud. Then realized how powerless we truly are: every other house, every other shop, every other car have such an eye, all connected to the AllSeeingCloudEntity. With vision tech cheap enough to match our faceprint every single step every single one of us takes in a public space. Heracles at least had a fighting chance against the Hydra. Where do we even begin reclaiming our right to not be continuously watched?

not only is there a shock to the system, every (sub)system has had shocks.

I was talking to someone who was rebuilding a home, and the price of plywood went from $8/sheet to > $100/sheet

Another person said that the company that makes 75% of the electrical panels had stopped production.

those are just two pieces of the bigger puzzle, but since many if not all pieces have similar shocks, it would really surprise me if capacity could ever increase to meet demand.
So this happens because journalists apparently use one source. I thought journalists learn that one source is no source.

Especially on health subjects, journalists should be more thorough.

a modern business class mini pc generally runs low load around 10-15 watts. these could also serve double duty as home proxmox or other home systems, as they would have so many times more power under the hood. i manage & maintain plenty of home/personal linux systems so me to the only hard task is not being able to do so eith the same ease, simplicity, & control i have everywhere else.

i do think perhaps im being a little glum about the wifi situation, even though we havent seen new/better hardware supported on openwrt for near half a decade. not just a "new standards" lag. on the hopeful side, codesourcery & others are doing a much much better job helping to make official open source image building a stable replicable manageable process. yes, almost always on linux 4.14 and or gcc-4 or ehstever and this infuriates me a bit, feels like a waste. but there is also more mainlinelining going on, both with cpus and with wifi cards. in fact it's almost just too well supported, that the problem is, now, that there's still not available hardware that has the new chips. for whatever reason the draft spec hardware all seemed to have bad errata, low/no drivers. and we just havent seen modern platforms with both the newer cpus and the newer wifi. still just not much hardware in general, even though draft spec equipment has been around for i believe years. progress isnt totally like i want but definitely some good signs too, and some just regular old "it takes a long long time before most chips start making their way jnto products". kudos to the hardwork of many who have been mainlining your drivers. you are doong the right thing. the future is exciting.
This is fair enough. Hopefully some will still find it useful. I will note that I took a special relativity course in university that did things the "slow and intuitive" way, and many years later realized I still had some fundamental misconceptions about it. Eventually learned it the right way mostly by osmosis. More examples and motivation doesn't necessarily lead to correct understanding.

I've mentioned variations on this regarding music.

How much garbage is on the radio today? From the last decade? From the last generation?

Music hasn't gotten worse, but we're still listening only to the good stuff. Pantera will be around another generation at least, my grandchildren's grandchildren will likely still listen to The Beatles. And starship captians will undoubtedly invite the wives of dignitaries to onboard Mozart recitations en route to the boring interstellar negotiations of their husbands.

Thanks! I don't believe these two concepts are related. You get back to the same point because the earth is _globally_ a sphere. However, time dilation and length contraction are _local_ concepts: they happen even for very small motions.

I guess a global object in spacetime analogous to a sphere in space is the hyperboloid t^2 - x^2 = r^2. Moving on this hyperboloid corresponds to changing boost velocity. But unlike a sphere, it is not closed, so moving in one direction does not get you back to the same point.

May add to this answer later.

Maybe call it "The Mathematics of Relativity"?

It works well as an outline from my point of view, but I think you have to assume the reader already understands the Lagrangian in classical physics (which is a stretch for even the comparatively well-educated Hacker News audience). Also, somewhere around 3.5 it gets too dense with material I don't already know. (Christoffel symbols? Riemann curvature tensor?)

And then in the General Relativity section, there's simply too much material covered for any of it to be explained in depth beyond the necessary equations. I would drop the fluids (at a minimum) to give more space for other topics.
What kind of source are you looking for then? Do you want me to provide you with some sort of academic paper detailing activist movements to popularize this term? Maybe a magazine article? No, I'm not going to do that, as such thing most likely does not exist. Not all real fact about universe can be easily sourced, and I'm not going to spend hours or days stitching examples from old archives to make a convincing case.

What I rather recommend is thinking about what could make a term like this suddenly explode in popularity, despite the issue being as old as civilization, and not experiencing any dramatic changes in frequency or severity in the same time frame. The concerted (though not necessarily coordinated) effort of activists is the only realistic explanation.

Since the rise of "wage theft" out of complete obscurity has occurred around 20 years ago, and it might be hard for you to connect it to specific activism, here's something more recent, which might make it easier for you to observe it in real time: "birthing parent". These people used to be called "mothers", alas since around 2014, we've seen a similar explosion of this notion:

While I'm generally hesitant to do the "your thing has the same name as [entirely unrelated thing]," in this case the "other" Pollen is Matthew Butterick's system for generating online books with high-quality typography, which isn't the same thing, but doesn't seem entirely unrelated.

https://docs.racket-lang.org/pollen/

While I don't know how well known Pollen is, it's been featured on Hacker News more than once, IIRC.

I can believe it's just odd coincidence that two projects focused on tools for making it easier to make web sites look better share the same somewhat unusual name, but it's still a little eyebrow-raising.

Not true, high density housing costs more per square foot than single family detached and sells at a discount to it. People are willing to pay a premium for single family detached housing.

I would say that this definition is very modern. Before about the time of Maxwell, the majority of theory was far less mathematical. I would say that it wasn't until the 1960s and 1970s, when particle and cosmological theorists became the far cutting edge of physics, that only mathematical models would be taken seriously.
