I am far more interested in white papers on how nuclear fission can be made significantly cheaper. Otherwise advancements in design are great but ultimately pointless.

Solar and wind continues to get cheaper and battery technologies continue to get better e.g. solid state in the medium term. And that makes once crazy ideas like shipping power from Australia to Singapore or from Africa to Europe economically feasible.
This isn't proof that AI "doesn't work" any more than plane crashes are proof that air travel doesn't work.
Eh, the study calls "rule breakers" the children who seemingly make mistakes applying a set of rules to a puzzle.

These aren't kids acting out in class and being put back in line by their peers, it's two kids doing some pair programming.

Am I "confronting" my coworker when I suggest a different way to loop than the one they implemented?

Nothing wrong with the study, just saying the word "challenging" is not used here in the layperson sense, that is confrontationally.
Is there some kind of air density factor too?

Go look at a new motorcycle/quad/snowmobile etc. Somewhere visible from the driver position e.g on top of the fuel tank you’ll see them. Why new cars don’t have the same on the steering wheel I don’t know.

Here is an Aussie regulation with an image of the required sticker. The US ones are similar (but could vary between states, unsure).

This is me bringing my backpack and laptop to the bathroom with me at cafes. Nothing has happened to make me do that, except knowing how fast things can happen. I leave something like a mouse or charger cable behind to show that the seat is not abandoned, and that's easier to replace.

Most people just get up and leave it there. Being homeless, losing anything expensive is going to ruin my year. It's the little things that give our social status away, even if we work and shower every day. Status illegibility is a key to climbing the ladder; going off on a bit of a tangent there, but indeed conformity in things like these is rational.
I've never heard of LightOn, and wish the website had a bit more concrete info on the specifics of the coprocessor, but I am somewhat familiar with a similar photonic coprocessor made by NTT (the Coherent Ising Machine). It's still in the research stage, the logic uses interferometry effects, and requires kilometers of fiber optic cables. Interestingly, there is a simulator based on mean field theory that runs on GPUs and FPGAs(*) that can solve some problems (e.g. SAT) with close to state of the art performance.

(*) disclosure: my company helped build the simulator
Messages sent to me are MY DATA. The same as letters sent to me. Packages sent to me. Physical things given to me, Etc... The enter point is you send me a message. That message is now mine (my copy). If you didn't want me to have it you shouldn't have sent it to me.
I want to imagine that lakes might be a good starting point for this comparison. For example, 600,000 km^3 is roughly 50 Lake Superiors. This is still context dependent, but I can at least pull up a map and look at the size of Lake Superior to get a feel for it.
EDIT: I rephrased to

> cost of that is basically nothing to Microsoft

---------------

I am unaware about internal Microsoft proceedings, but it seems possible.

Though I guess that given Microsoft scale and benefits from that it should be possible to describe it as "costs basically nothing to Microsoft"

It is not low sum, I would be bankrupted either by lawyer consultations on this topic and by extra server traffic if I would be paying for that, but on Microsoft scale it is probably nothing.
Cool, sounds a bit like how NixOS does things.

It's not for me I think (nor is Nix), but that's the nice thing about Linux, everyone can do things their own way. I mostly use FreeBSD anyway.
It’s not a dongle if it doesn’t “dangle” off a computer.

That’s literally how the word was created.
How does starlink compares to the space shuttle program regarding cost per launch? Regarding peak capacity the program was able to do a launch per month with only a few navets. I'm kind of convinced that starlink is actually inferior on most metrics it's simply that space navets are banned because of irrational aversion despite their excellent track record (over 150 successful launch, among the two main accidents, one was ridiculous (inept management not listening to the unique conditions (launch colder than anyone before it)) so a cause that has no real reason to ever happen again in history. As for Columbia, i wonder if the insulating product they putted on the wing could have been made safer. There must be a reason why it only cause issues for a minority of flights. Moreover when it induce damage, they coulf always throw the navet and return manually or stay on the ISS.

I use OSM data for free too, and don't employ anyone from OSM.

Why wouldn't I fix the data around where I live, if I can, and if it helps me, and everyone else trying to navigate here? I fix stuff here, someone else fixes stuff somewhere else, there are also gamified apps (atleast one), where you can get "badges" to input basic data to OSM, and everyone profits.
Pretty simple because time isn't discrete in this puzzle.

Assuming they are logical as well, both of you know you can't keep walking forward in the dark without risking bumping. If you change sides, they could as well. So you both stop waking and the lights turn on.

Because you both know time isn't discrete, if the lights go out and you weren't moving, then it was your partner that was moving. The person who initiates the darkness gets to move. Wait a random amount of time and if the lights didn't go out, swap sides of the hallway.

Once the swap is done (by the one who moved first) and you both see you are no longer going to collide, both resume waking forward.
Why is the lawsuit that they intentionally begged for "obviously something they must win"?
Actually, I may address it here.

> This algorithm requires a lot of messages

The algorithm requires (1) data propagation (proposal) messages and (2) heartbeat messages that confirm progress similar to TCP ACKs. The amount of heartbeat messages is not dependent on the presence/absence/number of proposals.
Both types of messages are more or less unavoidable.

> one slow node ("straggler") can stall everything

In fully asynchronous systems, consensus is impossible anyway. Hence, there is always some turn duration/timeout value.
The grandparent comment was already hearsay but yours really scrapes the bottom of the barrel. Durov was forced out of VK on threat of violence: there are no ties to VK.
Thank you for your honest and balanced reply. I spent some time to think about it.

How do you feel about "anti-vaxxers" (a weird term by itself) refusing to get measles vaccines? (It is regularly quoted as one of the most infectious human viruses.) In the United States, some communities that have a high ratio of people whom refuse to vaccinate their children have seen outbreaks of measles. (Southern California!) It's a devastating disease for children who don't yet control their own destiny. Frequently, parents are themselves inoculated, but refuse the same vaccines for their own children.

I can understand and appreciate: For adults the decision for COVID-19 vaccine is a bit different. They are only controlling their own destiny.
So the EU has a migrant problem. There are camps in France, Spain and probably other places not being reported. Poland is dealing with it as well in their own way without the eu. The EU hasn't come up with a solution to it. So I'm not sure which part of the image you posted is telling a lie or being misleading?

The truth hurts sometimes. Doesn't mean anyone is a bigot though.
Is there a way to send a strong signal that we don't want this? Companies seem to think that they can make infinite money by denying customers what they want. But in this case, the only thing propping up the iPhone is the dominant market position of Apple and whatever intellectual property protections and lobbying allow Apple to keep bundling their hardware and software. Maybe it's time to remind them of their legal vulnerabilities if they insist on pursuing these anticompetitive tactics.

My fear isn't actually Apple, it's the loss of Apple. I've watched as they've lost just about every last noble aspect that inspired me growing up. Somehow they went from an art and education platform to just another corporate behemoth. I find myself questioning more and more whether they are even innovating anymore, or if they're just using their dominant position to vacuum up all of the capital. Same with all of the other tech companies.

I guess what I'm saying is that I feel that Apple is already gone whenever I read that they're even considering things like this. If they do it, then I would feel a tremendous sense of shame as an engineer if I worked at Apple. That's really what it comes down to. Can we continue to silently endorse abusive behaviors by working for these companies, or is it time to withdraw our support and form new companies that do actual research and innovate again?

Big can of worms there, but, I find myself considering the idea more and more in these times.
That experience has nothing to do with eSIM or physical SIM. It has to do with current protocols that mobile networks use to transfer phone numbers.

Which can, and should change to something better than providing the SSN and passcode of the mobile network primary account holder who “owns” that phone number.

If anything, your experience should lead you to advocate to a quicker change to eSIM, so that your dad can control his phone number without needing someone else’s SSN.
I was fully expecting this to be an emscripten to Web Assembly port but was delighted to see that this is built with Phaser[1] from scratch! Great job! Feels just like it did when I originally played it.

I struggle to think of any moment in someone's daily life where they have to write something down. You'd have to make an active decision to make your life more complicated! I noticed that even my mom who is 66 years old has terrible handwriting while it used to be quite pretty.
Indeed. What was it the late Hitchens liked to say? Something that can be asserted without evidence can be denied without evidence. Here’s a clue: TeX has no bugs.
To me it is more loss of control of our devices; No headphone jack, Bluetooth doesn't actually turn off, no SD card slot, locking batteries and screens, powering off the phone but it is still awake, now no SIM card.

[yes I know some deeply buried settings can override the above]
I agree that Lua is much easier to learn, however the kind of thing that you can do with such macros purely in Lua has limits. To do anything really important in LaTeX, you have to understand the LaTeX macro system, and you also need to have at last some understanding of the TeX language. You could do such things in Lua, but in that case you'll have to interface with LaTeX anyway. So in fact you're increasing the complexity of the task, because now you need to understand LaTeX and Lua.

On the other hand, if you're just manipulating text that doesn't interface with LaTeX, then you could really do that from outside LaTeX, using any kind of script language such as python or perl. That's why I think that Lua scripting is not being used outside of some niche areas.
> Is all perceived complexity in math inherent to it

No, of course not, but I'd argue that every notation that's in use gives practitioners that use it strictly more mathematical capability. Notations make things that previously only geniuses could comprehend become things with wider accessibility.

Consider Roman numerals. Like anything, they are suboptimal, but without them, large numbers are essentially impossible to manipulate. They gave the business class the ability to record their finances and inventory, for example, which is a remarkable achievement. It's great when better things come along like positional number systems -- people can learn the art of division in grade school because of it, rather than needing to leave that to the experts -- but we shouldn't dismiss what was replaced as merely holding us back.
Sorry to be a bummer, but I make my living creating copyright protected material. DRM protects me and my livelihood.

Yes, I often cut deals with the people you refer to as "corporate ghouls". While I often lament the terms, they aren't horrible. In the end, I make enough money to avoid searching for a job with other corporations trading in material goods.

I would feel differently about the system if it weren't performing relatively well for most people. You say these ghouls "cheated" you into "renting" things. I'm not disputing the various philosophical sophistries that people use to complain about artificial scarcity etc. I just know that this evening, I"ll be able to get a nice movie that cost millions of dollars to make and spend only a few dollars to watch it in my living room. That only works when piracy doesn't.
I'm under 20 and still share the same opinions with most in this thread. I don't give out my phone number unless I'm talking to you in person.

LuaTeX does break after -- and ---, see e.g.

I also don't know what kind of weird remapping you are talking about, if you are referring to the Unicode mapping then they are required to get proper copy&paste (and are also generated by other engines these days).
Ah, so a Transmeta style approach? That's certainly feasible, in the sense that their technology worked, but I think it would be tricky at best to match the performance of the more standard do-it-in-hardware approach.
Chances are you won’t, though, because for virtually all chat rooms, why bother? And so in the vast majority of cases, Discord’s approach works well at achieving its outcome. Either no one will hoard data in violation of their legal contract with Discord, or any published/searchable logs will receive takedowns, and that’s just enough to have the intended effect.

In the context of FOSS project chat rooms that we’re discussing here, it is quite ironic that many FOSS community members will, predictably and with tacit or explicit support from their peers, openly break their legal contract with Discord in order to hoard chat logs for private or public use — while in the same breath demanding use of, and compliance with, legal contracts such as the GPL. Human beings certainly do excel at developing blind spots for cognitive dissonance when it’s to their benefit to do so.

If that "1 task" happens to be performing matrix multiplication (or even merely fused multiply add), you can do a heck of a lot with that. You still need digital circuitry to support the IO, but the key idea is doing linear algebra in a way that is faster and/or generates less heat per unit compute.
Analog broadcast. Or digital, maybe, but still one-way broadcast.

Then again, it's much easier to branch out and build your own games now. .

I dislike Roblox since at that point you might as well open up Unity and ship your own game. That's how I learned to program in my early twenties, a bit later than most of y'all
Google Maps is built on uncompensated user submissions, much of it involuntary (data from navigation, live and historical location, etc).

We aren't their customers, we're the employees. That's why data ownership is such a verboten topic, it breaks their entire model.
In modern schools, most any deviation from prescribed behavior is considered "rule breaking". A kid playing a game they way they want to play it, rather than the way they were taught to play it, is a disruptive kid that needs correction by peers or authority figures.
I agree that domain-specific ranged types as found in Ada are close to ideal. Unbounded integers or naturals are second best. Wrapping and checked arithmetic are distant thirds, but I don't think either is intrinsically superior to the other in terms of safety. It depends on the program's specific design IMO, but if we're talking about a C-like language where checked arithmetic is not common, I still think it's clear that indexing should be unsigned. Not the approach I'd take in a new language of course.

The pointer arithmetic you describe is the real source of most unsafety. The reason most C/C++ programmers prefer segfaults is because such arithmetic lacks bounds checking.

Thanks for the reference to WUFF though, looks cool.

# CLI:

that was the first step for Fox CLI, and I added assets creation for ios/android stores;

Next step is to provide a helpful prompting to build debug/release versions

- static functions like the ones I uses with lodash.js for example

I still need to write lots of doc for those parts, I'll do it alongside my game dev
They were correct. They're saying your phone service identity (I am X number on Y network plan). Not your personal identity (pictures of your kids and passwords).

Today if your phone fails, you can pop a sim in another phone and regain your phone service identity within minutes. No SIM, it could take days or even weeks.

I recently had an iPhone repaired and apple wiped the device including the eSIM. I took it to the Verizon store and even they couldn’t get the eSIM working again and I walked out with a new physical SIM. They need to plan a lot more of the experience out before removing the SIM in my opinion as well.

I'm willing to trust that you are there to help enforce the "not used for any other purposes." ... What happens when you leave the company? History says that 5 years down the road after the current team leaves, these numbers magically start being used for marketing, etc.

It feels like yes, but I find their pricing to be really interesting. $15 a year for HD and $52 a year for 4k. It feels like they're tying pricing to bandwidth cost rather than content value or something.
LED lighting is similarly wedged in patent hell. Put the damn things on "flexible wire" and the lawyers will devour you. If you want to launch a product in the space, expect that you will need to hire a bevy of attorneys to get things in order and expect your IP license costs to exceed your BOM costs by about a factor of 5.

So it might be you're basing your knowledge from some fictional show where the writers got it wrong.
The device hasn't caused harm, did the device itself physically put the child at risk? No, it didn't

The information from the result of a query, didn't either, if a unsupervised child, who wasn't taught not to do things like electrocute themselves comes across the information, and does themselves harm, surely you can see that this is at least partially if not entirely on the parents.

If a child is left at home, with a load, unsecured gun, and wasn't taught gun safety, would it be the guns fault, or the parents.

To me the situation is similar, the device was not defective, the device did not directly present risk to the child, the device makes no assurances that the information relayed will be sanitized such that a 10 year old mind could not harm themselves by following it blindly.
