Thanks for the reply

I assume punching a hole in spacetime, punches an equivalent hole in maths aswell

Let me ask a few simpler questions first, my main question is at the end

This punched hole might be like measuring angles with a differential. When the difference between the measured points hits zero, the other end of the equation hits infinity and the angle becomes meaningless

So would a true vertical curvature in spacetime equivalently require an infinite amount of mass?

They say that at the event horizon the deformation is so strong that from a black hole all paths lead inwards. But isn't gravity commutative? A.k.a. coming from inside, vertical curvature is reached. But if the curvature is vertical, then presumably there is also no way into a black hole?

---

So main question; could we just say that vertical curvature is impossible, and black holes are simply extreeeeme curvature to the extent that a 1.7second difference between light waves and gravitational waves over 130million years is enough to stop light escaping, but not gravity?

Is that solution too simple, what am i missing?

Thanks

I'm looking for something like this, but cheaper and for 3.5" drives. USD$250, plus shipping to Australia puts that just too high for what it offers.

I own Synology NASs, but adding an expander for that is expensive. (AUD$800)

The ODroid-HC4 looks promising, but their 'toaster' case design for it is awful, leaving the drives exposed and unable to put two atop each other.

Ideally what I'd like is:

- 1-2x 3.5" SATA drives

- Gbit NIC

- Enough grunt to run some kind of clustered filesystem (gluster, ceph, whatever)

The idea being that I could start a cluster with say 3x of these devices, and then as my storage needs grow - add more.

They don't need to have stellar IO, but enough to keep up with plex.

As a physicist I find that the level of discourse around these topics among non-physicists ranges from hilarious to depressing. But I am still happy laymen are willing to have these discussions and that physics piques their interest. To be fair, non-experts have the same misunderstanding about physics as they have about any other subject -- economics, politics, medicine -- even music and arts. Hell, even programming on this very site. Should we ban people from discussing subjects outside their field of expertise? I don't think so. If anything, people should entertain more ideas, not less. There are no experts who didn't use to be noobs.

That said, I do think that in general popular science articles are pretty bad, and laymen are mostly getting confusion out of them. And I do (probably?) agree with you that the people upvoting these submissions are pretty confused and I am not sure why are they upvoting them. Personally, I wouldn't post such articles here but as long as people seem to happily engage with one another I don't see any problem with such articles.

To a first approximation there are the same proportion of people knowing physics here (arguably an offtopic subject) as there are people knowing real type theory (definitely an ontopic subject), so the niche aspect of it can't be a deciding factor on what to post.
To be honest out of the big tech companies which one is not there to "screw users" as you put it? Especially the ones that depend on ad revenue.

- Facebook: Their users are their product. There's enough evidence to show how they "use" their users daily in news articles, leaks, etc. Recently if I recall there was a leak about them knowing the harm on children their products cause but internal culture stopping them from doing anything on that front.

- Google: The amount of data they use to target users. Users again are the product. They drop platforms/technologies like the drop of a hat.

- Apple: Heard some stories about culture there as well that aren't crash hot. Is Swift/Objective C even OSS? Very proprietory but their brand seems to give them the cool factor? Not sure.

- Amazon: How they treat their non-tech employees, etc.

- etc etc etc.

They are all companies and in the end of the day profit matters once they get to a certain size. They all have their good and bad sides. Microsoft seems to have an "uncool" image here IMO probably originating from their dominance in a previous tech age but I can't see the difference now with other big tech companies that hold this level of market power. In some ways they are better - they don't need my whole life story and invade my privacy to make money if you care about that sort of thing. They also have pushed some good technology as well - the new .NET Core platform is impressive and in my testing good performance, decent languages originating some good ideas (as do other langs), still OSS with less confusion than for example all those JDK's on offer. There's good and bad parts in all companies, and tech stacks.

Can it be better? Yes. But that applies to most tech stacks, cultures and companies as well.
For the cooler, I wouldn't put that Zalman in anything much more demanding than a commodity office box with a low end APU. The Hyper 212 is more or less entry level for a CPU an enthusiast might actually select (Ryzen 5600X and up) and even for that you're going to be leaving a decent chunk of performance on the table due to Ryzen's temperature-based scaling behavior.

The coolers bundled with some CPUs have similar issues, and are noisy to boot. Unless budget is hyper-restrictive, one is doing themselves a disservice by not bumping cooler budget to at least $50-$60 for something with a 120mm fan, decent number of heatpipes, and decent fin surface area like a Scythe Mugen 5 Rev B, Scythe FUMA 2, Be Quiet! Shadow Rock 3, or Noctua NH-U12S Redux which will all be significantly more quiet and better performing.
We definitely have a few career changing bootcamp grads working out for us (no STEM background, nothing to indicate they were "almost there" on their own, turned into fine employees).

That said, the hit ratio from bootcamp graduate to productive hire is incredibly, incredibly low. I think there's a place for bootcamps, but I'm not sure most bootcamps are operating in that space.

I don't know how to fix it, but I did think the Lambda School income share arrangement at least served/tried to align incentives for the school to actually help the students transform themselves.
Not a doctor, but you can take audio/visual processing tests to get a better idea of what's going on. I took one during a barrage of ADHD related tests, it was interesting to say the least.

It could very much have an anxiety or ADHD element to it.

> they don't know how to solve problems without their previous company's infrastructure.

this is basically an indication of the lack of problem solving, and instead, they've just been "tool using".

It's the same sort of phenomenon as someone copying a snippet off stackoverflow, and tweaking it, without understanding _exactly_ how it works (and all of the underlying theory/understanding required).

Real problem-solvers don't need this, but only reach for a tool from their toolbag after they've completely understood the problem, and have a solution in mind.
The last great mystery of the mind – inner voices
Why don't Apple offer grounded duckheads? For that matter, why haven't any third parties made grounded duckheads? This has been irritating me for the past decade or more.

The ground connection, where available, occurs through the metal stud which the duckhead slides into. Correct me if I'm wrong, but even the UK (Type G) duckhead doesn't connect ground even though the physical ground pin is mandatory.

I know that most DC adapters are unearthed, but my lived experience is that you can often feel electrovibration in the aluminium Macbook chassis when ungrounded and it goes away when the Apple DC adapter is grounded.

[Disclaimer: OutSystems employee here] I'm sad you find the experience bad. Eclipse or VSStudio integrations is part of our focus on being able to extend the platform to the max, but the need for it is only required when you are at a very specific use case.

> Paying the lowest price you possibly can nearly always means someone along the way was exploited

No, I agree with that. But that's still engaging in charity, right? Voluntarily paying more for something that I could pay less for, so that artists will have a living wage, workers won't be exploited, etc etc.

Your "sustain something you want to see continue to exist" suggests something else, though. What it suggests is that I have a good practical reason, on the basis of wanting to see good music continue to be created, to personally pay more for music. I think this is incorrect.

If I was of the opinion that only a few artists made really great music, it might make sense to exclusively fund them so that they would continue doing so. But that's not the case: music is an extremely cheap commodity these days, because high quality production is so easy (can even be done with free or cheap software on an old laptop). There's enough good music put out there for free by people just doing it as a hobby to last a lifetime. You can't compete with that; a "fair share" of nothing is still nothing. Similar problem for Uber drivers: when there are too many drivers, the cost per ride gets driven through the floor. That's true regardless of whether Uber are exploiting their drivers (they probably are).

I was evasive in my original reply, so let me put my cards on the table. I do think that voluntarily paying more for something than it is worth (its fair market price) is charity. And I don't think it is practicable to fix the problems with artist remuneration by encouraging everyone to be charitable. And I think it's a bit ludicrous to try to commandeer the word "fair" to mean something other than the market price, if you're not going to reconsider the more fundamental assumptions behind having a market in the first place.

I would argue that if you want music to flourish, in something like its present democratized form, you need to do just that. Music should be understood as a human good - both creating and listening to it. All music is good, even bad music. All musicians should be supported, even those whose music wouldn't be popular enough to earn a living wage at the market price. Recall that even the Beatles were supposedly on the dole at one point.

On the other hand, we could decide that music is simply not all that valuable to us, that creating more music than anyone can reasonably consume does not promote any particular human good, and let the current proliferation of music die. That's also a valid outcome. What isn't valid, to my way of thinking, is valuing music and then thinking that charity ought to be our way of responding to that value.

Given what we have observed with alcohol, cannibis, and prescription drugs, I think it's safe I expect that decriminalization, legal suppliers, and free drugs would probably not reduce recreational use & abuse of opiates in America... If anything, I would expect usage to increase.

Don't get me wrong: I am absolutely in favor of decriminalization, as well as other radical changes in our society's relationships with drugs, mental health, and addiction. But it would be catastrophically naive to suggest that legalized/decriminalized opiates are some kind of panacea.

If heroin didn't exist, these people would probably plain old alcoholics. The damage caused by an alcoholic is pretty similar to the wake of a heroin addict... It's not identical, but the overlap in causes & effects of abuse is pretty similar between the two drugs.

Ultimately, the problem is that some people reach young adulthood without having developed a robust set of emotional coping mechanisms for handling the stresses of their lives. These folks are a LOT more likely to fall into the larger patterns of self-destructive behavior that drive them back toward drugs, over and over again.

Of course you shouldn't only decriminalized, you must in parallel fund social services and clinics to help drug abusers. Else it's just useless

Nothing– I was under the assumption that 'the job market was on fire' and 'there is an endless need for devs' and that 'just keep going, you'll make it!'

Up until today, I was following naively optimistic advice from recruiters on my bootcamp's alumni network, without considering where their incentives lie.

I now realise that they're incentivised to encourage their alumni beyond truth, to never give up, because persistence is on average the best heuristic for getting a job (or doing anything, for that matter).

What I failed to consider was the nuance in my particular situation. I didn't research much, I just leaned into the job search, always trying to avoid inaction and premature optimization like a cancer. I 'put my head down' and 'kept grinding'. I now can see the dogma of persistence and how futile the last few months have been. Thankfully, this isn't much time in the grand scheme of things. C'est la vie.
Full title: "The last great mystery of the mind: meet the people who have unusual – or non-existent – inner voices"
But do you have a right to any job you want?
I'll start; I don't often have an inner voice (as in, formed of a sequence of words); my inner world is sometimes abstractions, sometimes words - if I'm rehearsing an anticipated conversation for example - but more often music. I'm not a musician, and the music in my head is far from savant-level (always a melody, sometimes a bit of harmony or chords, but not much), but it's there more often than anything else.
If you exaggerate anything, I’ll reject you. I don’t need BS. If you say you got a patent and it’s only applied for, you’re not truthful.

Google intentionally slowed down non-AMP ads to give AMP a boost?
"marginal cost of streaming OR downloading a song is effectively zero" - only if you don't consider royalties to be part of the marginal cost? What's weird to me is the seemingly pervasive idea that the cost of everything should be 100% directly related to its marginal cost + some small fixed percent. Things are priced based on what consumers will pay, which is related to how much value they derive from it.

Personally I'd be happy to pay $2 a month when I don't listen to much music and up to $30-40/month when I'm obsessed with album(s) and listening to them every day - how much that costs Spotify is somewhat irrelevant to me

The longest personal name, according to the Guinness World Records, was 747 characters long, and happened to be in a latin alphabet. So I guess ~ 1000 bytes should be OK. Or even maybe what could be enough to fit 200 arbitrary utf8 codepoints, so 800 bytes.

If you want to be safe maybe allow for up to 1000 arbitrary codepoints? :)

OpenCore Legacy Patcher – macOS Monterey Support
The technique they use is similar in principle to how atoms are doppler cooled for BEC experiments (much of that early research was also at JILA), but it looks like the window has been narrowed significantly. What's special about this is that it's a step towards experiments involving gravity at non-macroscopic distances. If quantum gravity is possible, it would be quite exciting for the graviton to be discovered experimentally before theorists figure it out.
I use DNSCryptProxy because I can use it with Firefox as a local TRR server, supports additional filtering, supports DNSCrypt and ODoH caching and is open source.

It also picks from 140 or so anonymous DoH relays, with specifics for nologs and dnscrypt support.

Why would I go for just 1 arbitrary provider rather than the lowest latency choice out of 140?

I also think the latter point is a bit overblown. So long as you keep your kernel updated and you only expose a single high UDP port, it should all be fine. I have ufw enabled on each pi, along with various logging mechanisms in place to see if things seem reasonable. That and 2fa for actual ssh access.

This is not a valid reason to disagree about the article. The feelings the tone caused may also cause you to misjudge the rest of the evidence provided and may limit your ability to form a judgement based strictly on the facts presented.
The build tools are available for free, in their entirety, I thought. What’s missing from those? (Besides the VS program itself)
I was there from 2011 to 2019. We had pretty clear numerical guidelines for continuing support of a platform or OS. If the numbers are close, things like upgradability or difficulty of support make a difference: if all the devices running OS 1.1 can actually be upgraded to 1.2 and 1.2 fixes important things, then dropping support for OS 1.1 can happen with more users still there.

If builds need to be signed by the OS maker and they won't sign any more builds, user count doesn't matter (sorry Nokia S40 and iPhone 3G).

We did make some longer lasting builds for platforms we were ending support for, but there needs to be an end. Older clients don't support newer features and we didn't want to have a network where that was the status quo. I don't know what the current expirations are, but mandatory updates a couple times a year helps keep the feature support similar.

Now this is how entire afternoons are lost. Sunday driving via Gopher and other protocols is also pretty cool.

We're not locally up to speed yet, but there's a WIP project near where I live that's similar to HamWAN, in which there's a parallel wireless mesh network with its own http resources to surf at up to 300 Mbps (not that I've tried it, just heard about it).

I understand that Oregon HamWAN just got an $88K grant to develop its range even further--so it's kind of mind-blowing to think that there are even more than several "internets" when you think in terms of independent networks that encourage Sunday drivers.

> The only objection I have to this post that I have is the notion that there was a democracy there to begin with.

Sure, it's probably pointless to try to argue that there was some specific point where it changed from "is a democracy" to "isn't a democracy," or to try to argue that it's "55% a democracy now." The actual point is whether there are important institutions that have weakened or failed, whether there is indication that this will continue, and what the consequences will be.
I can only confirm that it's gone from Monterey RC1 and RC2 (& therefore the release build).
