I didn't see it as absurd at all - there is a huge contingent of bicyclists who should never be on a sidewalk, while at the same time there are massive numbers of casual e-cyclists who should never be riding in traffic.

Ann Arbor recently changed it's laws to reflect that - and I think the cyclists who are aware they shouldn't be on sidewalks, and the e-cyclists who stick only to the sidewalks know who they are.
Yes, in the air I'm expecting a very different scenario than on land. No pedestrians just an element of collision avoidance for birds, all vehicles legally required to be broadcasting their position to an automated air traffic control, probably maintaining 100 meters between vehicles versus road traffic being 1 meter from oncoming. In the air it would be almost a pre-planned route with a 50 meter collision avoidance corridor. Plus an emergency landing site selection process, potentially the ability to land on water or an emergency parachute.

Part of the reason I found the paper I linked to be persuasive is that they predict the EVTOL aircraft only needing 2-3x the total energy of an EV. The energy cost in dollars could be less than gas for an ICE vehicle making the same trip. There are very light aircraft with 100HP engines, I'm picturing something light and birdlike.
> I read that IPFS purposefully has mechanisms in it to allow banning content

I'd be interested in reading whatever article you got that from, because last time I checked, IPFS doesn't have any such mechanism.

You might be confusing it with the content blocking Protocol Labs does on the public IPFS gateway (https://ipfs.io/ipfs/hash). The gateway being a centralized gateway to distributed IPFS content, is hosted by a US party and must therefore follow US law, so sometimes they block content from being accessed via the gateway.

Freedom of Association on the Internet (Draft)
Hi, I noticed you're a new user, so in that spirit this is not the kind of comment that is well-received on HN. It reads as arrogant and condescending, though I assume that was not your intention. Since I publish regularly in this area, the condescension feels especially off-base.

To answer the question in good faith: while the documentation clearly states that fast-math can reduce accuracy, in isolation the accuracy changes are often small, and moreover in isolation the accuracy changes often look positive. So I was surprised, when evaluating Herbie, that it frequently caused large, negative changes in accuracy, specifically by undoing changes made to improve accuracy.
Moped?
That's a good point. But, part of the problem is that, in many cases, the "alternatives" are just made by different parts of the same conglomerate. In other words, "choice" is sometimes illusory. See https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jul/29/starbu... for example.

It takes something like 18 light years of lead to attenuate a neutrino beam by half, so they’d need a pretty big receiver :)
True potential for what exactly? How do you see them being used if the limits were removed?
Awesome project and 500 km range is a cool achievement! Kudos to OP for all the effort and research that went into this.

I’ve run into the same issue that standard battery packs on eBikes are just not enough. The problem is not so much needing to do super long trips but if you forget to charge one day, you’re going to be stuck the next. Luckily it’s become more common for OEMs to offer dual battery setups with the piece of mind of extended range but also having a warranty! We own two cargo eBikes in the family and both have two Bosch batteries. Range varies from 80 to 200 miles depending on level of assist and is more than enough for our daily ~20 mile errands.

It's not self-evidently untrue, this is an incredibly complex philosophical question with no easy "right answer". There is also a spectrum of positions about this.

Just out of curiosity, how do you end up with a 53% income tax rate?

Federal: 33% of taxable income over $216,511

Provincial: 20.5% on the amount over $222,420 (max, BC)

Obviously the average rate will be far less than the marginal rate.

Lawyers writing documents is much less like factory composing data than you seem to think. They very much treat it like writing and editing any other kind of written composition.

Heck, a lot of lawyers actually dictate their work instead of typing themselves.
Probably poorly. It is a violation to cast an unaligned pointer to an aligned type that the base pointer is not aligned for. And the code looks like it does just that right here: https://github.com/nadavrot/memset_benchmark/blob/main/src/l...

This is undefined behavior under C99 §6.3.2.3 Paragraph 7.
"If the resulting pointer is not correctly aligned for the pointed-to type, the behavior is undefined."

The musl code referenced has handling for this.
Not great for long distances unfortunately, as your source will always be isotropic. One could also do this with neutrons with either 241am alphas on beryllium modulated electronically, or with d2 beam incident on d2 target, or proton beam on a tritiated titanium foil target. All should allow for faster modulation. The beam based methods also allow for control of the outgoing energy.
Sure. But legality is separate from morality.
OK - so a smarter browser history? So you can go back to things more easily that you were researching/working on across tabs? Is that the use case?
For those who, like me, got confused: Hydrogen requires more volume for the same energy as jet fuel, but even with that larger volume, it is lighter than the smaller volume of jet fuel.

Better in my opinion to give an item a rating until it has some number of reviews. You can still show the reviews, but treat it as unrated.
I would be very surprised if neutrons travel faster than a microwave beam.
Radio waves already travel at the speed of light, I'm curious what speed-up you're imagining? A shortcut through the earth is the only option I can think of to beat radio's latency.
To be fair, if you're using floating point at all you can get arbitrarily wrong answers. The nice thing about ieee754 conformance is that you can, with a lot of expertise, somewhat reason about the kinds of error you're getting. But for code that wasn't written by someone skilled in numerical techniques, and that's the vast majority of fp code, is fast-math worse than the status quo?
> Complex numbers are actually what real numbers really ARE under the hood, we just aren't taught to think this way. 'i' is what real numbers miss to be completed. And you don't need 'j's, 'k's and others.

This is an unnecessarily absolute statement. On what basis are you claiming that all number systems are fundamentally two-dimensional, and not one-dimensional, three-dimensional, or some other dimension?

I'm guessing that it is because you spent a lot of time working with mathematics in a 2D context, i.e. on paper or blackboard or screen.

CAS Latency has been increasing with each DDR version.
Not sure where you are located but they already do have this. I have a class one pedal assist which cuts out at 20 mph. Allowed on most Mnt bike trails and to do 20 for any amount of distance requires substantial effort. I get passed on the paved bike trails all the time by road bikes with way more gears. Then class 2 which has a throttle and can go 30ish. Then class 3 with a throttle and speed is essentially whatever you can do. 2 and 3 are not allowed on any Mnt bike trails and depending on city, county, are crazy to ride on the paved bike trails, not legal, but do see every now and then. Most people that own them respect the rule.
A C/C++ header file converts Intel SSE intrinsics to MIPS/MIPS64 MSA intrinsics
Agreed. It's a similar semantic problem to the use of the term "significant" in statistics. P<0.05 as being "significant", while P>0.05 as "non-significant" has a technical meaning that doesn't equate to the common use of the term "significant".
Many early Common Lisp systems had impressive error handling. Certain exceptions would automatically break to an interactive Lisp window.

But Common Lisp also has a fancy system for recovering from exceptions. So after you replaced the broken function, you'd often see a list of "restart" points from where you could retry a failed operation.

So even if you failed in the middle of a complex operation, you could test out a fix without needing to abandon the entire operation in progress.

I'm not entirely certain if this was as useful as it sounds, in practice, but it was certainly very impressive.
Ah, I see I misinterpreted your comment, missing the key point that you are asking what local alternatives where employees are treated better.

It's not about what the language is fine with. It's about what the developers are fine with. And they'll never agree, so why not give them a choice with tooling?
The Fermi Paradox was proposed during a discussion about whether faster-than-light travel would be developed. Fermi, famously, exclaimed "where are they?" saying that if ftl travel is possible, we should be regularly visited by the numerous alien civilizations that must, statistically, be out there.

The Fermi Paradox has come to be the term describing the more general lack of alien detection, but it's only a "paradox" if we expect to be able to detect aliens. That expectation is only reasonable if aliens produce enough activity close enough to us that we would be able to observe it. If FTL is possible, that assumption is an unequivocal yes. Without FTL, it's infinitely more contentious.
It's a standard move to create accountability. If you have one big conglomerate, it is easy for underperforming businesses to hide among others' success. By splitting things up, every business and organization has to survive on their own. Personally I doubt their scandal figures much into this decision.
> It does open up some niches

A laptop that doesn't throttle down when unplugged from the wall, yet still maintains an all day battery life is hardly a niche.

Laptops are supposed to be a portable computers that work anywhere, not just luggable computers that must be plugged in to work.
Nitpick: Anything in reality that can be modeled with complex numbers can be with real numbers. Complex numbers provide incredible convenience, but that's all. There's no phenomenon that requires complex numbers to explain - Schrodinger's Equation included.

I haven't read Debt yet but one can look at the index and jump right to p365 (Federal Reserve Bank - loans to government by, 365-366). It characterizes the Federal Reserve as "a peculiar sort of public-private hybrid" (this is certainly true, and it's a deliberate design feature) and gives an accurate but highly abbreviated description of fractional reserve banking and the Fed's purchase of government bonds.

Nothing on this page tells me that he doesn't understand the system or is attempting to deceive. I don't understand where your objection is coming from. Have you branded Graeber the great deceiver because of a line like "while technically, the Fed cannot lend money directly to the government by buying Treasury Bonds, everyone knows that doing so indirectly is one of its primary reasons for being"? That statement is a lot less controversial than you perhaps believe it is.

Everything on this page seems pretty innocuous, and while I'm sure the whole book is a lot more daring... this doesn't jive with your criticism at all.
I would've preferred to see this come by way of union power, but government bought is ok
These are questions for us, not for Peter. The answers are:

1. No.

Actually, that's a common misconception. When "jump_off_a_cliff_ratio" is set to a value other than "-1", then "jump_off_a_cliff" is ignored. The ratio is divided by 20000, so if you set it to 10000 your system will only jump off a cliff if 50% of friends do so.

The default setting is "15000", but some distros change it (e.g. Arch sets it to "0" so that your system always jumps first--more performant, but less safe).

Conveniently, none of this is documented anywhere, all the other information you can find online is years out of date, and most sysadmins just accept the risk of cliff-jumping rather than trying to tune it manually.

In September 1990 when tex.web 3.1 and mf.web 2.7 were released there was great confusion in the TeX world. Had DEK made a typo when he updated the version numbers of the files? It was sometime between that release and the next in March 1991 when he revealed the plan for the version numbers to converge to π and e.

The bugs that have been found in the past couple decades have been rather esoteric. The one that was most likely to actually occur in real use was raised if someone responded e (edit the source at the error location) when no file had occurred (I think it had to happen on the first line of input as well). Most related to extreme edge cases that would be difficult or impossible to raise in a production TeX system.
I built a stretch cruiser ebike out of parts, including a bafang / 8fun mid drive and 52v “shark” style battery. It does pedal assist and straight up throttle to danger in lickety-split.

This is a cool project, however, I wouldn’t have gone this route because:

It isn’t a great idea to lock up an ebike, but there are circumstances where you might want to and you’ll want to take the battery with you when you do.

If you need added capacity, I’d recommend a second battery to swap in during a longer ride. This can limit the size of the extreme failure should that occur, and let’s you choose less weight for shorter trips.

Finally, there are some quality battery builds out there, in a variety of shapes that include enclosures offering some resistance to shock.

Besides all the testing and perfect wiring here, you can rely somewhat on the seller to back up their work.
I don't believe that's true. What's true is that simple facts are not copyrightable, but compilations are.

I also work at Amazon, and I can tell you, your experience was pretty unique. Some teams are worst than others, of course, but no one expect you to pick up a project by yourself, fresh out of onboarding and own it end to end. After you clear your interview loops, you get the chance to match with several teams (not always) and that is your chance to figure out what the team does, whats the situation over there, etc... if you were hired for a specific team, and you feel is a bad match, you can talk to your recruiter/hiring manager and they will find you another team. Is more expensive to let you go, after you cleared the interviews, than to send you to another team. Most teams are always hiring, they even pouch engineers from another orgs, etc... I'm by no means saying Amazon is a paradise, as I said, it highly depends on the team. But for them to fire you like that you have to be doing pretty bad, or maybe your manager felt you were a bad person. For other folks reading this: The team matching rounds are *very* important, if you get assigned a bad team, you need to react quickly, and move on. I feel sorry for OP, I wish him/{*} well.

It's possible to detect neutrinos with a scintillation chamber, but in general only a tiny fraction of neutrinos passing through would be observed. They really don't interact with regular matter much.

However, it's the transmitter that would be nearly impossible, because blocking neutrinos or affecting them in such a way as to modulate the beam would be extremely difficult.

I think we can probably rule out neutrino based communications during the cold war, especially since VLF did the job just fine.

Personally, in that situation, if I really didn't want to use Windows for everything (and I've barely used Windows for the past 10 years), I'd probably get a Windows system for running Word and any other necessary Windows software and have my computer system of choice for everything else. In the grand scheme of things, computers are cheap these days.
