There is actually a different physics phenomena that in my opinion proves that we live in a simulation.

It's called "Wave-particle duality". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality
Basically a light wave can behave like a bunch of particles flying in one direction or like a wave. And it has been tested in the famous "double slit" experiment, where the interference image was disappearing on the other side of the barrier with two slits when the light wave was observed up close.

That switching back and forth is caused by something known as "Quantum observer effect". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_(quantum_physics)

All this feels like an optimization, it would be rather expensive for the Universe to calculate locations of all particles at all times, so it just simplifies it with a wave function. Sort of what we do in video games.

Read what happened at Nuremberg, the world has been through this before, forcing experimental medical procedures against people's informed consent is not just, fair or anything other than monstrous.

You don't know what saved your life, you're guessing based on propaganda you've been fed. It could be true, but nobody really knows.

> We know with relative surety the latter is a stress on human workers

I don't think that's necessarily true. When I order from Amazon I can pick from a small number of days when I want it delivered. I have a hard time believing that if I pick the closest day or the day furthest out that anything is substantially different to the warehouse worker. It only changes the day the system will tell them to collect an item from bin #12345 and will put it in a different shipper queue.

Don’t you still need to spend energy on confinement? You don’t need to “reignite” the plasma but w/e confinement solution you chosen still has a cost and a non marginal one when it comes to magnetic confinement.
More than performance, I am worried about security. They don't seem to have considered it at all when building it: https://github.com/longhorn/longhorn/issues/1805

Probably not a good recommendation until this hole is plugged.
In the specific example I have experience with, our deaf person had access to a live translation service but only if there was a way for the translator to access the Voice Chat via phone. We spent a while looking for a solution but weren't able to find one.

In the end, we were able to find and setup a bot and some other software to get transcription working but it was far from easy.

How is this any different than the term 'breakeven' [0]?

> Breakeven describes the moment when plasmas in a fusion device release at least as much energy as is required to heat them

Is this just a case of multiple terms for the same phenomenon, and do plasma physicists have a preference?

I am an embedded systems guy who recently started coding in React and I can relate my story if its useful to the OP or anyone for that matter. Apart from embedded code(C) and a few python scripts that i wrote for a course, i dont have any singificant experience. I started looking into browser develeopment during the pandemic and got hooked into React. The learning cruve felt like I was learning to drive all over again. But, in the end, I just sustained my interest and kept chugging. Fast forward a year, I stumbled upon a uservoice forum for a very popular enterprise chat app that lacks a basic feature that You would consider a brith right and the customers have been screaming for this feature for about 3 years now. Some of the comments show the customers are willing to pay for an add-on. I have been coding in the side for the past month or so and i am in the process of deploying the solution to their marketplace. I am in the process also am learning how to use their cloud deployment tools, create a static landing page for my app, scrape the users info from the uservoice and reach out to them and cold email them about the app when i release it. Point being, coding becomes an absolute chore if you dont have an end goal. Usually coding is a means to and end and that end is a business solution to a pressing problem. Find the problem and code the solution. Hope this anecdote helps.
That seems extremely recent, like last century only.

The correlation I see is the longer civilization has been in some place, the more arid that place becomes.

Applies to Africa, Middle East, Brazil, and so on.
except c++ is not welcome on the linux kernel.

torvalds said recently: “Probably next year, we’ll start seeing some first intrepid modules being written in Rust, and maybe being integrated in the mainline kernel.” [1]

the rust community is a bit over-excited, but if you can look past that, there's substance in the hype.

I would advise against Elastic Beanstalk, last time I used it the product had the stink of being on life support - they've not really added any new features to it in several years, and even before that it was incredibly flakey.
I think you vastly overestimate our current understanding of the brain/neuronal processing, even singular (neuron) cell's workings. The fMRI enthusiasm turned out wrong a long time ago and there hasn't been much progress since, for all I know. And knowing a gene sequence wasn't enough either. We are still lacking theory big time. For most all of biology, we do not understand anything fully really. Not in neuro science, not in evolution theory, and god forbid not in genetics. Complex != complicated. Complexity is a hard barrier. We do not have abstraction for emergence, merely still recording thing's reactions when you poke them in different ways.

That’s because cows eat soy meal, which is inedible to humans. The economic demand for soy is almost entirely human consumption - they just give the by-products to cows because they can save a few cents by not throwing it away.
`const` means a constant pointer, but doesn't guarantee that the data it points to will remain constant.

In practice, functions, numbers, bigint, symbols, booleans, strings, regex literals, null, and undefined are all immutable. Since you can't change the value, a const to one of these guarantees the value will never be modified.

Objects, arrays (actually just objects with a different constructor), maps, sets, TypedArrays (real arrays), etc are different. You can be guaranteed that you will be pointing to the same object instance because there's no way to swap out data at a location in memory like there is in low-level languages (yay GCs). The entries inside the hashmap or array can be modified though.

Calling `Object.freeze()` will lock down an array or object with some caveats. Sub-objects will still be modifiable (though you could recursively freeze) and this doesn't work for Map or Set (their properties like get/set/forEach will be frozen, but not the actual data) and it will throw if used on a typed array.
Does it prove it, though, or just suggest it? I don't actually disagree with the suggestion but I don't think it's proof either.
I'm sorry, but you just can't rely on VAERS data for a comparison like this. Literally anyone can submit a report to VAERS.

I misunderstood the comment. I didn't realize there were BLM protests in Australia. Strange that there are people who think the Australian government is systemically racist but then are fine with authoritarian lockdowns coming from that same government though.
The wikipedia article linked answers that.
I think of course if you compare it against the best transportation systems in the world you're going to come up pretty short with BART(Tokyo for example was AMAZING). I come from Atlanta where MARTA is a pretty big farcry from effective public transportation, so maybe that is why I don't mind BART as much...

I think the example is a bit contrived with a preset union. Where it’s really valuable is when you’re extracting a union from another source (like via keyof) and want to keep the two objects in sync without having to modify the keys in two places.
Not sure if “journalist” is the right term here. This isn’t even a news site. It looks like someone’s personal blog/website to promote Quantum Annealing as the solution to everything.

Why do we blame the scientists here for something they didn’t write? Nobody forced the author of this post to misinterpret science. It is a reasonable assumption that a science communicator knows the science they’re communicating.

Correct. This is a thing you can do in JavaScript (and TypeScript) that sometimes trips new people up but is exactly what these keywords mean:

foo.push(1,2,3);
yeah, there is no energy cliff, only bad political decisions. Supporting NS, NS2, Banning fracking, and I would also add a "wishful thinking" reduction of fossil fuels, before the grid was ready for that. Germany alone invested 100 billions in green energy subsidies. Those money could have kept a lot of gas or coal burning.

I hope we will get out of crisis stronger than before, not weaker, and don't default back to burning coal for the long term.
New and expanded version of Kubescape is released
We are very proud to share that we have released a new and expanded version of Kubescape.
This is the first-ever K8s open-source tool that scans and test according to multiple security and compliance frameworks including the NSA-CISA and the MITRE ATT&CK.
The new version also ...
- Has a user-friendly UI for streamlined scans and test management.
- Provides an instantly calculated risk score based on the current scan and easy access to a history of past scans.
- Allows Kubernetes admins to manage exceptions and mark acceptable risk levels.
- Empowers users to build and customize their own compliance frameworks

Kubescape has already more than 4k stars on GitHub and thousands of downloads, and it is free to register.

You can try it yourself here: https://github.com/armosec/kubescape
I had, so given the sample we can confidently say 50% of people had heard of it.

Oh and I suppose OP, so 66%.
Was there a way to figure out the authorship of this? Maybe it's missing from the mobile view.
Learning stuff involves creating new connections in your brain between different concepts. If you learn something by heart, it means the connections are very strong, and that if you think about one concept (e.g. finance), your brain automatically also activates (i.e. recalls) related information.

Most brains are pretty good at creating connections. It's very unlikely that even after coming back to the material a few months later, there are NO connections at all. It's just that these connections are not very strong, and therefore are not automatically activated. Another thing is that the brain is a network, so it often happens that concepts are connected in multiple ways than one (by going through other concepts). Basically this means, that if you're coming back to a book, you might at first not remember anything about it, but as soon as you've read a couple of lines (which activate these other neighboring concepts), it all comes back.

So how does this translate to real life steps you can do to improve it?
1. repetition. If you use a certain connection a lot, your brain will increase it's strength, meaning that as soon as one of the concepts is activated, the other is more likely to get activated as well (i.e. you recall it).
2. contextualization / intergration. Instead of increasing the strength of a connection, you can increase the amount of connections. This means to interact with the material while activating different mental concepts. For example, if you're reading about cooking, you can try to practice it. Or talk about the things you're learning with somebody. Trying to interact with the material with different 'viewpoints' (depending on the material this might or might not make sense)
3. Attention. This is kindof related to point 2; your brain has a limited capacity for active concepts, so if a large part of your brain's attention is somewhere else, it's hard to make any relevant connections. This also goes for being tired.
4. Rest. Your brain uses sleep to consolidate it's newly formed connections. So improving your sleep has a big effect on improving memory. Basically improve sleep health (fresh air, no heating, etc) and go to bed sober (no weed, or alcohol).

Because of point 2, and 3 it's better to learn something at the beginning of the day, instead of at night. I personally love to read before going to sleep, but sadly it's not the greatest for remembering.

As a general advice I'd like to add that, personally I too return to books after a couple of months, and I also often forget what they were about. I just start to read a couple of pages back, at most one chapter, if it has been a really long time. Most cases reading a small part will bring back enough, that you're able to continue. Don't get discouraged if you can't remember anything, and just allow your brain to be re-introduced to the concepts, you'll probably be surprised by how much has stuck.
it's always amazing to me that a typical android user tells me they hate iOS because it's locked down and android is much more open -- whenever i follow up with what apps they've actually side loaded they don't know what i'm talking about, never mind about whether their phone is rooted and they're running a rom.

yet a majority of them use very expensive handsets that compete in a premium space to iOS devices and ciphen data not only back to google to to their respective manufacturers and anyone else that puts bloat on their phone -- bloat that they can't remove on their "much more open devices".

I do not think there is a "journalist" here. This seems all presented as coming from a researcher (although they do not seem to identify themselves?). I do not think this should be taken particularly seriously. It is just someones ramblings for the moment, and that is fine.
Sabine actually is completely misleading and misconstrues a bunch of facts.

None of these plants are even attempting to have real energy breakeven and spend a ton of energy supplying experiments and unrelated support equipment. They don't even have a method of capturing energy as that's not the point as it would make it harder to test the physics. Additionally these plants have high amounts of "startup energy consumption" that is also factored in to the energy usage but would be amortized out over a long run. Trying to use the absolute power consumption of the experiment as if that's where the state of the art is at for true energy break even is completely wrong.

Plasma breakeven is all anyone is really working on. Once you have plasma breakeven you have a self-sustaining heater basically, which then can be used to create energy. The point of an "ignited plasma" is that it's self-sustaining and just pumps out heat, even if most of the energy is used to keep the reaction going.

Yeah I tried that, it doesn't work. Ultimately the provisioning algorithm is a black box.
A Beginner’s Guide to Creating a TypeScript Starter Project
This is a great setup if you work with a lot of clients. Every client we work with wants everything to run on their infrastructure that they provide, and then they provide the weirdest jankiest setup you could imagine. Because of this I keep everything basic if it cant run on a fresh linux install or less (looking at you docker) then its going to cause issues down the line.
A distinction needs to be made clear here with regards to the data being transmitted to Google by LineageOS in this study.

In the cited paper (https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/Android_privacy_report.pd...), the device used to test LineageOS was a Google Pixel 2 running LineageOS 17.1 which also included an installation of OpenGapps 10.0 nano.

It's not the OS that is transmitting the data over to Google, but rather OpenGapps (ie. Google Play). OpenGapps is software that can be optionally installed after the initial installation of LineageOS (but before first boot). A user can still use LineageOS without OpenGapps, though they just won't have the benefits (and drawbacks) that come with it (such as being able to use apps that require GSF). The user can instead opt for an app manager like F-droid or possibly Aurora Store.

In addition, there exists an alternative to OpenGapps called MicroG. This is like Google Play but allows users the option to anonymize themselves. One can find custom LineageOS builds that include MicroG from the MicroG website (as the members of the LineageOS project do not advocate for its use, instead giving preference to OpenGapps). Keep in mind, however, that there are fewer devices supported by those builds.
Yes - They want our Bitcoins!
The former. But saying it this way is just like the GOP saying that "many people are concerned about election integrity" after they spent months lying to the public that it was a giant fraud.
Not OP but I do tend to avoid TS. I don't like the additional friction of working with the language (transpiling, unable to copy/paste directly into an interpreter). I also feel like the community at large writes awful baroque code that makes me want to die. Why use a function when 18 classes subclassing eachother across 4 files will do? If you're familiar with the tiktoker @khaby.lame, TS feels like exactly the over-complicated life hacks he mocks.
There is actually a really awesome middle-ground that AWS offers that no one seems to talk about.

That is using ECS + Fargate. This gives you (IMHO) the best of both worlds between Lambda and EC2.

ECS is Elastic Container Service. Think docker/podman containers. You can even pull from Dockerhub or ECR (Elastic Container Registry - amazon's version of dockerhub). ECS can then deploy to either a traditional EC2 compute instance (giving you a standard containerization deployment) or to "Fargate".

Fargate is a serverless container compute instance. It is like serverless EC2. You get the "serverless" benefits of Lambda, but it is always-on. It has automatic scaling, so it can scale up and down with traffic (all of which is configured in ECS). You don't need to manage security updates of the underlying compute instance or manage the system. You get high-availability and fault tolerance "for free". But at the end of the day, its basically a non-managed EC2 instance. You can choose the ram/cpu options that you need for your Fargate just like any other compute instance. My recommendation is go as small as possible and rely on horizontal scaling instead of vertical. This keeps costs as low as possible.

When I hear people trying to keep Lambdas running indefinitely, it really defeats the purpose of Lambda. Lambda has plenty of benefits, but it is best used for functions that run intermittently and are isolated. If you want the serverless benefits of Lambda, but want to have the benefits of a traditional server too, then you need to look at Fargate.

And of course there is a world where you combine the two. Maybe you have an authentication service that needs to run 24/7. Run it via ECS+Fargate. Maybe your primary API should also run on Fargate. But then when you need to boot up a bunch of batch processing at midnight each night to send out invoices, those can use Lambdas. They do their job and then go to sleep until the next day.

I should also add that the developer experience is far superior going the ECS+Fargate route over Lambda. I have built extensive APIs in Lambda and they are so difficult to debug and you always feel like you are coding with one hand tied behind your back. But with ECS+Fargate you just build projects as you normally would, with your traditional environment. You can do live testing locally just like any other container project. Run docker or podman on your system using an Amazon Linux, Alpine Linux, CentOS base. And that same environment will match your Fargate deployment. It makes the developer experience much better.
Note that OffscreenCanvas is currently only implemented in chromium based browsers [0]

It is a neat idea, basically separating all the canvas calls into a webworker so it can run on it's own thread. However this scale of parallelism is not a solution to fundamentally slow code... the map rendering performance is still poor, it's just been prevented from interfering with the main thread. Please don't throw web workers at stuff before asking why the code or API calls are slow first.

I think you're making my point for me, but it is well said - breaking into simple ingredients like lentils and beans is a good start.

For what it's worth, I'm not suggesting meat is any less of an offender. Just instead that something that can be pitched as meat-alternative and still be full of crap. And it's worth looking into those ingredients to make an informed decision about what's healthy/not (putting aside other non-health benefits of avoiding meat)
Agreed on rollbacks. I think rollbacks are a thing when you don't know the code, or you're too busy to be able to debug. Like when being on-call for a large codebase.

If you're solo, you probably know enough that fix-forward is the way to go. (This assumes the system isn't critical enough that it needs fixing even if you're asleep, but then you would probably not be solo anyway.)
> It's still like putting comments above your functions.

If you're used to a certain language then sure that makes sense. Your comment seems like you are boxing yourself in, limiting yourself to just what makes sense in Javascript, very opposite of a programmer who looks to improve their craft.

Take a moment and think about that. Because it looks like Javascript comment...you only see it like that to a point of making this statement. There is a lot of ways different languages uses tokens/symbols to indicate something. Not everyone agrees what those symbols are used for. Some languages use it to define macros like C++ or preprocessor directives like C#. Some as comments JS/Python/. Some as like Java nothing.

Because the languages you use are use to it, and the language you use doesn't use something similar, it looks "wrong". That is in itself a narrow view.

I think you should question that kind of thinking, I believe it will be helpful.
