I got a bit lost at the double slit experiment with superdeterminism. Can someone clarify what is supposed to be going on?

* We send one photon at a time through a double slit, don't measure them, and an interference pattern is formed, presumably because the probabilities of the particle going through each slit interfere with each other.

* If we measure the position of the particle, it goes through only one slit, and there's no interference pattern created.

* Standard QM says that the probability wave function representing the position of the particle "collapses" when measured and the particle then goes through only one slit with no interference when we measure it.

* Superdeterminism says that the initial state of the universe determined that we would measure the particle, and therefore it goes through one slit and there's no interference.

* What I don't understand is: why would there ever be interference in that case? If it's not probabilities interfering with each other what causes single photon interference in the double slit experiment in superdeterminism?
I don't know where you live, what your budget is, or whether it's an option but if it is - try going part time for a bit. It opens up time for other things in a really significant way and almost forces your job to be relegated to "just a job". The simple act of "sorry I can't make that meeting, it's my day off" can push you do spend that time on something meaningful and put up healthy mental barriers around work.

It may not be something you want to maintain forever, but dropping down to 3-4 days a week for a year or so can be super refreshing.
You have a few options.

First, skip this project entirely and buy a direct midi to Bluetooth adapter.

Second, use a MIDI to USB cable,
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Uno--m-audio-uno , and then plug into your Raspberry PI. You can also buy USB MIDI to Bluetooth adapter for about 50$.

Finally, you could buy a MIDI hat for your Raspberry PI. I don't think this will work out of the box, but I can't imagine it would be too hard.
I'd say you were both masochistic and way beyond just being an expert in that case.

Any site that allows you more than a few attempts at a time has already failed.
I can’t actually figure out the point being made here…
This article is pointless clickbait - what percent of systems don't have some sort of throttling or lockout after X number of bad guesses - damn few I would say. Even the most basic, low budget systems I have developed or worked on have throttling rules in place - many with exponentially increasing timeouts that would prevent this sort of attack.

If a website/system does not implement even the most basic security practices, then there are probably a lot of easier ways to hack into in than trying 100,000+ different passwords in a row.
I would also estimate that the nicer the car, the more likely it's inaccessible later in a home garage, limited access parking deck, etc.

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think you really need "discovery and user interviews" to tell you that app developers need to be able to see their deployment logs, or that having your deployment code spread out across 3-4 repos with frequent changes makes it harder to troubleshoot. I think a lot of people might read this comment as blameshifting, where obvious flaws in the engineering and reliability of the system are blamed instead on a failure to define the specifications properly ahead of time.
Yes, the syntax doesn't have to be this way, it's just the way that the libraries in the ecosystem tend to do it. It works, but it does also have quite a few problems, imho. But since it's just a particular library, you can write your own or use a different one.
> Just operating a nuke plant, ignoring capital paydown, already costs more than building out and then operating matching solar.

Nuclear is about $30 operating/megawatt hour. Solar, counting capital costs, is about $40/megawatt hour for utility scale solar and about $150/megawatt hour for rooftop after subsidies... but this is just daytime power and not base load. You'd need to add the cost of storage.

> And, nuke plant operation costs are only increasing.

This is false. They'd gone up for awhile, but then started a powerful downward trend. 2019 was a record low value even before correcting for inflation. 2019 is also the most recent year for which we have full data.

> Iron-air batteries do not involve smelting (once produced). The iron oxidizes, yielding energy.

And then is reduced, to recharge. There's various approaches here, from nanoscale powder sintering and pure electrochemical reduction to literally just reducing the iron anode at temperature ("smelting").
I still use Google to search the documentation more easily. The Python docs are usually in the top three results if you search for "python typeddict" or whatever.
Iron-air batteries are proven tech. The factories are already under construction. Underground hydrogen storage is mature; you put hydrogen in the same underground caverns where NG is now stored, and burn it in the same turbines. You can add hydrogen to the NG already stored. Over time, the H2 fraction grows. This being done today in Utah and England.

Recent experience with nuke construction is that they consume $billions and produce exactly zero watts. The latest is $30 billion already spent on an unfinished and probably soon cancelled 2GW plant, because it would take more $billions to finish, and would then be unable to compete on price.

You're completely wrong because of your neglect to consider pre-vesting appreciation. Please see my previous comment for an example. Why do you think some people get rich joining pre-IPO companies? Because they're granted a lot of shares at a low price point, and by the time they are vested and liquid the shares have a possibility of being worth magnitudes more than when they were granted.
>An alternative is account locking after a number of failures, which is much better. However it also brings problems. It means that your 2FA must only be accessible for people who already have passed one level of security, otherwise you have a denial of service vulnerability.

Isn't that how most 2fa flows work? You enter username + password, if it gets accepted you move onto a second page where you enter your 2fa code.

> Plus you need all the account unlocking procedures etc, and need to make sure they are secure, and not actually effectively another attack route.

But realistically speaking don't you need a password reset flow? If so you can just reuse the password reset flow for lockouts as well.
With your logic most languages would have been dead by now. Python was created in 1991, Ruby in 1995, Erlang in 1986 and opened sourced in 1998. Just a few examples to consider. They took a lot more than 7 years until they peaked and gathered wide adoption.

I’ve had very few complaints with Swift as a backend language in all honesty.

I can see it as a backend/systems language. It is not a scripting language.

The issue is the stewardship of the ecosystem.

The fact the Foundation library is closed source is a complete joke in this day and age.

Apple’s lack of effort towards fostering a broader community for its language is a comedy of errors.

A Swift developer will spend much time dealing with undocumented closed source packages.

It’s almost comedic how retro it is. It’s like coding in the 1980s.

We have this information. And we've had it for decades. There's hundreds of duplicate structures on the PDB. There are new cryo-em structures that are nearing sub angstrom. Also, the xray data we do have is never considered absolute, but the boundaries and margin of error have been quite well understood for some time.

Well, I don’t know of any physical law that allows you to choose anything. Whether or not you believe QM is normally deterministic or super deterministic, you have to believe in something outside physics to make all of us not a necessary outcome of an initial state. That doesn’t diminish the pleasures or the reality of consciousness though, or the (illusion) of free will, at least not for me.

I'm glad there's a dichotomy. I (a dev) never signed up to be on call 24/7 for production and it's ridiculous to just assume that I should be. I have a life outside of my work. If the system needs 24/7 uptime, they better be paying someone other than me to ensure that's the case, because my time is too valuable to waste my already precious freetime on fixing bugs in prod.

From my understanding, Rust's HAL APIs are not trying to optimize for ergonomics but for type safety and ownership. It's more tedious to write, but it's also nice to have the standard formatted Rust docs available to see all registers and what you can do with them. It means things like hardware peripherals which only work on certain pins, have those pins defined in the _type system_.

It's more verbose for sure, but I prefer it for it's explicitness and ownership tracking. Definitely not perfect, but it's also very early times for Rust on embedded devices.
The API generated by svd2rust isn't ideal. There's been lots of discussion about ways to improve it, but unfortunately not all that much experimentation of alternate models. So the ubiquitous option generally wins, in a worse-is-better way.

The goal is exactly right: leverage Rust's expressive type system to keep your programs safely composable -- it's a drag trying to debug an issue caused by allocating one peripheral to two different systems. Particularly since the conflicts between peripherals on different models of the same family are sometimes hard to recognize.
Agreed. I approach shared services like a customer because that is all the power I have. It is supposed to work; that is all I know or have time to deal with. Off the the slack support channel...if you are real lucky.
Huh? "Morally" here is just shorthand for "practically, as a rule of thumb, for most intents and purposes" - it is the opposite of "morally correct". There are solid technical reasons for these concerns although they're a bit tedious to describe in detail (which is why we resort to these rules of thumb); they're not arbitrary or "ideological".
That translation was done by someone with an intention to mislead.

"为何还要回来找我，带我去你家逼我和你发生关系？" was translated to "why did you come back for me, and brought me to your home to have sex?"

The translator literally dropped the word "逼我" (force me). So this translation defenitely cannot be trusted.

The actual article title is "Cancel culture reaches a peak with war on racist mountains".

It cites several renaming examples - none of which I can see a good faith argument against. (The article itself doesn't seem to cite a particular grievance against any of them either.)

The article ends with this weaselly paragraph:

> Some critics see the ban as an example of “cancel culture”, similar to the removal of Confederate statues. Last year, a referendum was held in Mississippi on the design of the state flag, replacing one that included the Confederate battle flag. Almost three quarters of voters approved the new design.

This is just pathetic.
Because you’re not guaranteed to find one you’re looking for. If you do a little work up front you get much better odds.

I can think of other reasons:

You can target more vulnerable people (someone you know isn’t likely to come out and confront you).

And, you can observe the usage pattern of the car. For example: you might notice that the victim works nights on Fridays and leaves their car in a more vulnerable location than when at home.
Because proprietary software is inherently unethical. The work to write it has already been done. You're saying that the work should all be scrapped and redone, instead of the original author just choosing to release it under a better license.
Good question! I'm also not a Rust expert, but maybe that syntax would be considered unsafe in some situations?

I think the 'peripheral access crates' try to auto-generate those sorts of struct objects from SVD files, but you still need to obey Rust's ownership rules to get the advantage of its built-in memory safety.

So if a function needs to modify a peripheral's memory, it needs to claim mutable ownership of the relevant peripheral registers. That's a feature of the language which makes it 'safer', but the cost/benefit calculation is a bit different on embedded platforms. They have less memory, and static allocation is usually preferred.

Still, microcontrollers are getting faster quickly. You can even run Linux on some cortex-M4/M7 chips. The verbose syntax might be worthwhile if you're collaborating on complicated firmware.
What is one to do when science itself is considered taboo or racist, independent of the veracity of the findings?

I would argue that racial genetics science itself is not racist, but it can be executed in bad faith, and has a high potential for misuse.

One can ask the following in good faith, absent of racism:

1) Is there a genetic component to intelligence

2) Is it heritable?

3) Are there differences in these genetics across groups?

What policy conclusions one draws from any conclusive findings is the controversial part.

Doesn't seem like a great example since the image itself is perfectly safe. The exploit still needs JavaScript to extract and execute the payload embedded in the image, and then relied on Flash to install malware. Without JavaScript it's just an image like any other.

The NSO group iMessage exploit is a more interesting example, essentially turning a poorly bounded JBIG2 decompressor into a virtual machine.
Nobody does that. We follow the math and the experimental results. There is friction against accepting what the results tell us, which is the odd thing.

My recent experience was to get locked out of an account for a few incorrect password attempts. I was the source, had forgotten I changed it or something, the incorrect attempts were a while ago and I don't remember what I was thinking at the time. Required hours on hold waiting for an operator and dancing through stupid hoops (that make more sense to me as audit ass covering than actual security).

Huge pain in the ass.
I agree. With Javascript projects and frameworks, documentation can be extremely hit or miss in a way that I don't experience with other language like Python, Java, or Go.

Electrolyzing hydrogen at scale isn't, and the economics of electrolyzer cells are still awful.

I think it's interesting you wave away all the economics and practical problems with renewables, but ignore the fact that humankind has a long successful economic history of nuclear production and presumably could do this again if there were the political will. E.g. you make nuclear being hard into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

> We know all the associated probability distributions for Bob and Sally. And we know that as soon as the cards are dealt what each of Bob and Sally have is determined -- so far unknown but still determined.

Right, so that's a hidden variable theory. But the Bell Inequalities give you a set of measurements that can't be explained by hidden variables - one simpler variation is Conway's "free will theorem": Bob and Alice each have something like 29 envelopes, and if he opens one of several sets of 3, then he will always find two black cards and one white card (and Alice will always find the opposite). But there's no way to "statically" assign black and white cards to envelopes so that all of these sets of 3 have that property. So either which cards are in which envelopes really is undetermined until Bob opens a set of 3, or you somehow know which envelopes Bob is going to open at the point where you're putting the cards in the envelopes.

Here's the obverse:

The success of the radical equity crowd, and the parallel degeneration of American conservatism make good arguments for doing the opposite.

The equitarians have stuck to their principals for decades, and through propaganda and persistence begun to execute on their goals with little compromise. They've shown that compromising with the opposition is for losers when you know what you want.

Theirs is a model of political success. Don't compromise, even for harm reduction. Let them drag the useful idiots who gave them power down the self destructive path they're on, and wait for the reaction to achieve your own goals without compromise unless your offered a chance to achieve exactly what you want.
