Because with sufficient lawyers it takes six years to perform all the appelation rituals if the company wants to delay enforcement. It's not an indication of the questionability of the dispute; a ruling was made in 2019 already, but there are ways to drag it out.
Linux with the PREEMPT_RT patchset is pretty much a true RTOS nowadays. Though you still need to be careful in developing userspace to achieve true "hard" time bounds, and that's largely incompatible with a "desktop" workflow.
"Quantum theory based on real numbers" means a specific thing -- quantum mechanics with real amplitudes (and real anything-else-that-would-follow-from-that). It doesn't mean just any way of representing quantum mechanics with real numbers. Of course you can represent quantum mechanics with real numbers, for the reason you say; but for that very reason, that isn't what anyone means by "quantum theory based on real numbers", because there's not much point in discussing trivial rephrasings like that!
It's interesting that's true even for movies where the character barely touches a gun. In the movie Layer Cake the main character even states he hates guns and loathes having to use one at one point. Yet most of the poster art features him holding a pistol.

> casually drops his own routing mechanism

Damn, inet256 is actually very nice as well. I'm currently reading through its architecture, so far I like that it's just a layer that can reuse existing infrastructure and that it's deriving its addresses from the public keys directly so it is very flexible in its use cases.

Are there predefined ways for peer discovery? The architecture [1] document doesn't mention things like hole punching, NAT breaking (like pwnat), TURN/TURTLE routers or NAT tracing via UDP TTLs and multicast, so I'm a bit curious how peers would discover themselves in such a setup with their necessary transport layer information (IPs, ports, punched holes with internal UDP ports, UPnP config etc).

In my case I decided to implement a custom DNS (over TLS/HTTPS) that's verifying the pushed updates of entries via the TLS client certificates, and those are namespaced via their own subdomain (which is also the subject part of the TLS certificate). This way the initial DNS answer that is sent from the peer to the server contains all information that's necessary for other peers to connect to them later.

Oh this can definitely happen, had it occur on my system till I started using nofail as a mount option.
> morally invalid

Genuinely curious, because that sounds so definitive; so what's the way to determine whether a viewpoint is morally valid or invalid? I'm not talking about this specific example about military-commercial funding, but how to consider statements like "If I don't do it, someone else will" on its own. The justifications are forms of reasoning, so I imagine there's an overarching principle to evaluate these ways of reasoning?
It's still common for trackpads not to have wheels. "Two-finger" scrolling is clunkier IME than just using tap-and-drag on a scrollbar widget.
I have a friend who has a 2008 Honda that got hit and my wife has a 2003 Lexus that got hit. Both have parts readily available even in this supply chain crunch. Tesla has never been up to snuff when it comes to parts. If you own a Tesla then you better pray you don't need a part because the Tesla service horror stories are practically legendary at this point - and that was before "supply chain issues."

Do you have some baseline to which we can compare? How many lines "should" it take?
But while you're along for the ride (or trapped on the slowly sinking ship), it can be really helpful to see where the big company's policies and procedures are outright dysfunctions. Not everything they do is merely "this is how things are done in all large organizations." Then you can take a list of a few practices that result in ossification and a slow death to your next small startup. Maybe you won't take away a polished playbook on how an industry leader handles product development, but having firsthand experience on what breaks at "scale" is also useful.

Some hypothetical examples: What happens when there are more than four engineering teams? What changes when dedicated scrum masters are introduced and begin arguing about whether work belongs in sprint 133 or sprint 134 while walking past your cubicle? How do enterprise contracts for PaaS providers work? And, at my current employer, what happens when more than 100 engineers' work is shelved for holiday "frosts" and "freezes?"

Afterwards, you'll have more interesting conversations with the bright-eyed 23-year-olds working with you at The Next Startup. Instead of "I feel like this is a bad idea," or--heaven forbid--"Because I said so," you can confidently state "Company X tried Y. Z was the tragic result. How can we implement Y, but avoid Z?" It's one thing to have head knowledge of why frequent releases are beneficial, but watching what happens the moment a code freeze is lifted and hundreds of commits hit production? That's priceless.
I always found it very awkward working in 111 8th Ave and seeing "National Security Agency" on the building directory. It's like we weren't even pretending what was going on there.

Oh, that breaks my trust model. I'd expect that if AWS adds something to an existing managed policy that it would be only for a newly launched service and that it's consistent with prior permissions. Adding a permission to existing services is not OK.

I'm curious why they felt the need to do that. Ideally this is a good place for versioning their managed policies. I should choose to update a managed policy only after I review it.

This seems like it needs to be reverted.
Same with spellchecking when the "phone home" option is turned off. It's terrible. Now fortunately, there is a system wide Spellchecking function on Windows so one doesn't have to use Chrome's.

How do *you* get to know an unfamiliar codebase if it has little documentation?
Suppose you're contributing to an open source project or just got a new job or you're modding Doom for the first time. Where do you get started in learning non-trivial software well enough to write new features or fix bugs?
> Build a native app and you get complaints about cross platform. Build an electron (or other cross platform toolkit) app and you get complaints about resource usage and non native ui.

This. I am currently making a productivity app and I had to actively unbias myself from the hackernews/prosumer mentality that I must write independent apps for at least 3 operating systems/GUI systems, and 2 more if I want to go mobile.

It's a shame that interoperability has been an anti-priority from the OS providers (mainly MS, Apple and Google - if there was any standard Linux would follow). Even more sad is that the popular opinion is blaming developers for the situation.
The article reads to me as reductionistic in the sense that provided QM could use real numbers only, it would not matter if aerodynamics or whatever at a higher, emergent level required them -- almost suggesting the other levels are not part of physics.

In the same sense I did not see reference to General Relativity in the article -- as another fundamental ground in physics besides QM. Never learned manifolds stuff for GR, so I don't know if complex numbers become naturally essential there.
What you need, more than anything, is the mental model the authors used when writing it. In a company you want to sit down with the people who wrote it. If it's open source you'll have to do the same if the API is undocumented. Otherwise it's something like unbaking a cake. I've done it myself by first figuring out the dependency tree of the modules, then trying to get a high-level idea of the purpose of each component. From there, it should become easier. If the code is written with any sense at all it will get lower-level and less abstract as you work your way down to the function calls.
Find the key in no time, but how much time for the information to reach us? If it's a cube close by, then great, but most of them would still be millions of light years away.
Honestly I think if people stop reading after 'Children' they're doing OK.

I don't think Heretics and Chapter-House are badly written, they just feel a bit lost and pointless.

Whereas to me the Brian Herbert/Anderson books are just not well written books.

Most drug development takes from initial research to FDA approval about 10 years[1].

The low numbers of covid infections totally don't make up for the heavy measures.
Once you get past the major names and into the scroll, the text usually moves from the bottom of the screen upwards. This works naturally with the way we read English. But I've seen at least one movie do it in reverse with the text moving downwards. I thought it was the original 'Repo Man' but the only instance of those end credits I can find on YouTube seems to indicate that's not it.

Whatever movie did it, it makes me wonder if the screen could simply be split in two, with major credits scrolling upwards on the left half and more minor roles scrolling downwards on the right half, perhaps at a different speed. Major stars, directors, producers, etc. would still get their full screen credits before the scrolling started. Deciding who ends up on with side of the screen would of course be another complication.

These two things seem to be connected. In my experience infants get more flammable as they get drier.
Do you know the reason? In my case I just had to boost the power for the wifi a bit in the settings to improve the speed. But I never ran it with the original firmware, so have no point of comparison.
My preference is to install Proxmox on a small x86 machine with enough NICs and virtualize OpenWRT. One could also virtualize OPNSense (or VyOS, which I ran previously), but for me, OpenWRT is enough. I use this to route gigabit WAN: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/hzvfih/new_router_...
Since you (or realistically anyone) downvoted me rather than engaging, i feel like I should elaborate.

Our modern understanding of rights is not wholesale received from the time that the constitution was written. The concept itself has evolved over time into what you cherish now. 200 years ago, the constitutional protections one received were far more limited than they are now.
Wait to vest, and then leave. Don't put too much of your identity into who you work for and things that are out of your control. Start some cool side-projects or whatever it is that makes you happy. Basically, don't leave in a huff and sacrifice some financial gain that you might get by sticking around for say 1-2 years. Time flies. Maybe none of this applies to you, but I'm counseling against flipping the table.
Agreed. So what you need is the 'complex structure' behind rather than just 'complex numbers'. Any form of representations (numbers, matrices, and so on) should correspond to a unique structure. The question why the complex structure emerges in quantum mechanics is more interesting.
Sure, but we're not talking about Super Heroes, but existing entities like China, who only just six months ago shut down all Bitcoin mining inside it's borders in less than a month's time (and who also has anti-satellite capabilities).

I doubt bitcoin 'billionaires' would put more up, because liquidating that much bitcoin would crash their market (considering >70% of trades on exchanges are wash trades) and require them to go against tragedy of the commons.
You can’t bypass AT&T’s absolutely craptastic fiber modem, even if you got the bidi transceiver you needed. The connection is encrypted with keys hardcoded into the modem.
ML-tech could help. Imagine if your friend was in the passenger seat looking things up and conversing with you. You could ask things, hear things, and say/ask other things, moving the conversation from topic to topic. Now this seems like a software agent that could be realized in my lifetime and I can leave my device in my pocket the whole time (or integrated in to the car).

I also don't think this should matter. People should not own cars. Merely call them when needed to be driven from A-B, and they should literally arrive in about a minute, because we can achieve that with many fewer cars than we have use so little each day.
So not having yet read through OP I am not terribly surprised that this is true and I can kind of give a quick sketch in terms of a QM game that I want everyone to know, called Betrayal.

The idea is that it's a collaborative game for three people, you are trying to work together to beat the rules of the game. Meanwhile the rules are trying to set you up so that one of the people betrays the other two. In 3 relativistically separated rooms (so they can’t communicate) they go, where they find a screen and buttons labeled 0 and 1. The screen displays a prompt, each teammate presses exactly one of the buttons once before time runs out, then the three numbers pressed get summed together into a number.

25% of the time we run a “control round,” everyone gets a prompt to make the sum of their numbers even, and they win if the sum is even. The easiest way is if everyone hits 0, 0+0+0 is even. But a team can also answer 0+1+1 or so and win. Otherwise we randomly choose one to be the traitor and send them the control prompt, to make the sum even. But we send the other two the prompt to make the sum odd! In this case the team will only win if their joint sum is odd.

Long story short, classical players of this game have a success probability bounded from above by 75%. This is the Bell inequality. But quantum capable players can walk in with a GHZ state,

|+++> + |–––>,

which only collapses to even sums. If they have to do a control round they will all just measure this in the computational basis.

The more interesting thing, where i really matters, comes during the traitor rounds. Here you want to perform the phase rotation gate in the Hadamard basis,

|+> → |+>,
|–> → i |–>,

And any two of them can thereby switch the state to

|+++> – |–––>,

a state which only has odd configurations. Quantum players can win 100% of the time. Over multiple independent trials you should be able to observe the inequality violations even if quantum coherence were to limit your success probability to 90%.

I suspect that the inequality here is something similar, quantum mechanics but you can only form real-coefficient superpositions, and therefore you cannot take the square root of a unitary transformation just by doing it for half the time, per Schrödinger.

> For the simpler task of reviewing for only personally identifiable information and trade secrets under FOIA, assuming a low average of 50 pages per hour per person, even to review the hundreds of thousands of pages the FDA estimates, the agency would need just 19 reviewers to work full time for 12 weeks to review and produce these documents – which is a tiny fraction of its approximately 18,000 employees or, if it outsources the review as is common in litigation reviews, a mere rounding error in its approximately $6.5 billion budget and an even smaller rounding error of the over $17 billion given by the federal government to Pfizer.

Too bad that doesn't seem to actually work out that way. People that are vaccinated still get sick enough to spread the virus it seems, especially w/ Omicron, even if they either don't have enough symptoms to notice it might be Covid or don't get sick enough to require hospitalization.

That is not to say vaccination isn't necessarily a good idea but it's not a no brainer either because it only has upsides. Unfortunately it also seems that there's no good way to talk about any of this. If you look and talk about the facts, it seems like the anti-vaxxer will hate you and you will simultaneously be stamped an anti-vaxxer by everyone else. Sad days but I guess that's what social pressures do.

There is some value in presenting information in a way that regular people would take the time to read and understand.

I am thoroughly enjoying this conversation though.

One point of rationalization I have been able to articulate is that I find it just as icky to chew plants that are alive (or boiled) as I find it to chew animals/insects that are alive (or boiled). So all else equal I will eat what is tastier to me.

Besides ethics, a good reason to inflict a quick death is because a slow death may change the taste of the meat.

The point of inflicting that level of cruelty is to cook the meat and make it fit for human consumption. Stabbing it with a knife properly prior to boiling is just as cruel to the lobster because it ends its life. The cruelty is the loss of life, arguing about the cruelty of the method of taking the life is really splitting hairs.

Those that don’t condone this level of cruelty and don’t partake are commendable.

Those that acknowledge the cruelty and thank the dead animal for its contribution and take steps to not waste any part of the dead animal are also commendable.
