> should they have an easier time achieving breakeven Q-total?

I believe that’s why they’re being made: Q being a function of both physical size and magnetic field strength, and the new superconductors being useful for increasing the latter so the former can be reduced.

But I have no idea if any of them are currently attempting Q_total > 1 or not: too much hopeful PR for me to know what stage they’re really at.
I don't really "tell stories" on social media, I'm not much of a sharer on these platforms, rather I was giving examples of when it was a useful resource, and specifically instances where the resource doesn't have an obvious replacement. I'm not sure I relate to the idea of "lost nothing". By that logic I'd have "lost nothing" if I neve flew on a plane, or sat quietly in a room for 10 years. But in terms of pursuing things I do want to do, Facebook has been a helpful resource on a number of occasions.

As for people dying, that for me has been far and away my most valuable use of Facebook in recent years.
Sorry to hear about it...

Motivation is an unfortunately difficult placeholder word when a lot of other words and descriptions could work better. Could it be that your preferred perspectives and roles are blocked by others at work, and your ability to believe in a good outcome is compromised? Just as one example. In this case it might help to reframe your role and your tools, in a way that still fits your skills. In this way, differing descriptions of the problem can sometimes offer new leverage.

Same with "boring". Can your perspective on boredom be described in a different way that highlights solutions that weren't on the table before? I have one friend who finds a lack of ideation boring, because he's a conceptualizer. I have another friend who finds a lack of physical stimulation boring.

And we would need to know, are you only temporarily comfortable ruling options out before trying them, and are you eventually going to feel more willing to allow for random unknowns and outside possibilities and try them? In such a case we could put switching jobs externally and internally both back on the mood board, which at least gives you more local control over the general process.

There's a lot of ground to cover but I hope you find yourself getting some good ideas as you ask around. Good luck and may you find yourself in an awesome new work situation.
I'm like you in this respect, but I wasn't always. It took reflection and effort to realize that being challenged is more stimulating than being defensive, and more productive personally. So yes, I can understand that line of thinking, and yes, it is pretty senseless.
In general, I'd agree with you -- I prefer spelling things out explicitly instead of using terse abbreviations. However, really common & fundamental math operations benefit from some shorthand. For instance, 'y = ax + b' is way easier to read than:

let multiplied = a.wrapping_mul(x);
let y = multiplied.wrapping_add(b);

The "terse" equation I can instantly recognize as a linear function, while I'd have to stare at the more verbose version it for a while to figure out what it does. In my opinion, bitwise operators work the same way: if you're working in a domain where you have to write thousands of simple bitwise operations, a bit of shorthand can make the code much more expressive.

> Unless you're talking to Church members, it's not really seen as a moral concern but a simple procedural problem: we can't easily be sure if pornography was produced with willing knowing participants and the economic benefits are not worth the bureaucracy to make sure.

I'm not sure I buy that it is purely a procedural problem. There is no way to know anyone in any industry is a willing participant in the production of anything. It is already against the law to enslave or coerce people, so you already have a bureaucracy to handle it. You just need a way to report unlawful activity and a bureaucracy that considers sex workers on equal footing to other professions. IMO it is that last point that is the problem and it basically swings back around to people making a moral judgement about sex and sex workers.

It loses some games to Stockfish 13 and 14, and Lc0 - rarely at slow time control, and more often at blitz and bullet (actually, it has losses all the way down to Stockfish 9 in blitz).

Partly because of the way it tries to search more widely to avoid tactical traps, it can also be a little sloppy in holding advantages or minimizing losses (this could use some more work and tuning). This ends up making it a little drawish, so it loses less than you'd expect to Stockfish 14, but also doesn't beat up weaker engines as well as Stockfish 14 does.

You can see some of this in the raw tournament results[1]. At 40 moves per 15 minutes, repeating, each engine draws with the ones above and below it, but starts to win and lose at a distance of 2 or 3.

At 5+3 time control, ChessCoach goes 1-0-29 vs. Stockfish 12, but Stockfish 12 is better at beating Stockfish 8-11 than ChessCoach is, so CC ends up between SF11 and SF12 in the end.

On Lichess, where there's no "free time" to get ready for searches, ChessCoach's naïve node allocation/deallocation makes it waste time, and means it can't ponder for very long on the opponent's time - a big opportunity for improvement (it needs a multi-threaded pool deallocator that can feed nodes back to local pools for the long-lived search threads). I think it's also hitting a bug with Syzygy memory mapping that Stockfish works around via reloading every "ucinewgame" (which I don't trigger on Lichess). So, overall, its performance on Lichess is worse.

Also, you can't read too much into this data - very few games, and no opening book.

This is a great read and primer for anyone looking to shard and know they need scale. Having helped a ton of people shard their data, my advice still remains don't do it until you know you have to. The old Citus data blog is a great resource for some guidance around best practices and how to's even if not using Citus.

That said some of the things you can do from day 1 make things way easier when the time comes later. Workspace ID/Tenant ID/Customer ID, having your data grouped that way makes it very shardable and saves you a lot of work later on in the case you didn't have that in your data model.

I'm not sure I buy that Citus/Vitess are magic, both are reasonably clear how they work and you can dig into it. At the same time I'd weigh the downsides of Citus (can't speak to Vitess) in that the online rebalancer isn't open source so at that point it's a proprietary product.
This would indeed be convincing, but I can't seem to find any further information on it.

By far the most interesting takeaway from the full FOX news article is that it seems possible that the Zodiac Killer was actually a group of people:

> Hans Smits told Fox News he spent 10 years hiding a whistleblower who said he escaped a criminal "posse" headed by Poste [now identified as the Zodiac]. The man, who The Case Breakers only referred to as Wil, told Smits the posse roamed California's High Sierra region and that he was "groomed into a killing machine."

> In addition, Wil said he witnessed Poste burying murder weapons in the woods, Smits said.

> "They put out several bear caches out there in case something happened," Smits said.

> Smits said he gave Wil financial, logistical and emotional support over the years and moved him around for nearly 10 years in an effort to keep him safe.

> Despite being dead for three years, some people are mysteriously still loyal to him, said Michelle, who also declined to provide her last name.

> "He targeted young men who didn't have a father figure," she said. "It was a posse of three but the one [Poste] did a lot of damage. He still has some kind of control… and he's gone."
As fun as it is to do this stuff, it is better to think about what a unit of deployment is first. Conceptually, it is important to separate the stuff that changes rarely (e.g., bucket name, the CNAME etc) from the stuff that changes at each deployment (web site content).

The role of terraform (or any other infrastructure component) is to make sure the place where you put the web site content exists (and the correct wiring exists) before you try to put the web site content there.

Having a layer of indirection between your infra code and the actual deployment interface helps. At its most basic, you can use terragrunt for this to invoke `aws s3 sync`[1].

I deleted my account several years ago and tried to get my girlfriend at the time to do the same thing. She was in favor of the idea, but facebook would show her a bunch of people with a message like "but what about all these people, won't you miss them?" and it did a great job of picking people who she most likely would not have kept in contact with if not for facebook, so she never deleted it.

Well functions have properties in virtue of being defined over the reals, eg., sin(x) --

I don't see that these properties are incidental.

Yes they obtain in virtue of /any possible "dividing" discrete sequential process/ never terminating, eg., space being "infinitely divisible".

However I dont think this is as bizarre as it appears. The issue is congition is discrete, but the world continuous.

So we are always trying to project discrete sequential processes out onto the world in order to reason about it. Iterated zooming-in will, indeed, never terminate.

I dont see that as saying anything more than continuity produces infinities when approached discretely. So, don't approach it that way, if that bothers you.

On a technical level, it's not hard. On business level, it's doubtful if there's a compelling enough business model to prevent it from becoming another surveillance capitalism platform.

Vultr Global Outage
To my knowledge, it's sort of like a retirement home for old people or those with no real career, especially angry ones.

I was in an AT&T store the other day when Facebook went down, dealing with something stupid. I hadn't really touched the internet that day up to that point, blissfully unaware of the Facebook issues.

During the last five minutes I was there, in the physical AT&T store, some lady who was in her 50's, or really rough 40's, came in screaming about not being able to get into Facebook on her phone (I presume her only method of internet access) - & also about an uptick of spam calls and texts, I can only hilariously imagine why she's getting them.

Not too long after I got home I read about the Facebook outage, and it hit me that was the reason she was in there. The employees also seemed unaware as I could hear them discussing standard diagnostics on her phone.

But yeah, that person in middle America had absolutely nothing better going on in life than to drive roughly 10 minutes or more (near all residential areas are far away from this store, fairly rural) because she couldn't get on Facebook for a few hours. She was... very not nice to the employees too.

> Egress bandwidth in a datacenter costs around $7/TB for you or me, probably far less for a company like Cloudflare that's built around handling huge traffic volumes.

Funny thing, paying for egress bandwidth is not something you do if you handle your own peering and other internet infrastructure. Paying for bandwidth is something that the cloud providers came up with to add further margin. So they likely pay $0/TB for that bandwidth.
You say that, but in 2014 they introduced protections that made it impossible to search the database anonymously. People are now informed who has accessed their information, when, and are provided information about the searcher in question, such as birth year and postal codes. Also, a person is only allowed to see a limited number of people's returns.

skatteentaten.no also lists a bunch of other privacy restrictions that they have in place.

This was, in part, to discourage criminals using the database to target wealthy people, and to curtail some of the harassment that resulted from this information being brought to light. This change apparently was a enough to dissuade the majority of usage, as most people now apparently just search for themselves.

If they are the same everywhere, you can precompute a huge database of hashes (called a rainbow table) and simply lookup the hash in the table when breaches occur to find the password. By salting, every provider who stores credentials has different hashes for the same inputs which makes the approach far less attractive at a large scale.

An honest assesment acknowledges that current fusion research, like string theory and even HEP, has become an employment program. You can tell this is the case when 1) no efforts are made to change course once it is clear the current dogma is impractical, unprovable or lends increasingly marginal gains in knowledge at extreme cost; and 2) any who question the accepted view are shouted down and pushed aside.

That is not to say there should be no money spent on researching fusion or the standard model (or beyond). Just that the current system does a poor job of allocating limited funds by putting most of the monies in one basket until well after other ideas/technologies should be given time of day and ample funding.

It also applies to fossil fuels: the energy would otherwise be locked up underground.

It'd be interesting to compare the energy directly released as usable heat from burning hydrocarbons, to the indirect increase in energy absorption over the life of the released greenhouse gases.

Not sure, but I reckon the cumulative greenhouse effect would be massively more than the usable energy released during combustion.
