Nitpick: Small and medium, not just large public gatherings, and a larger variety of them, are also a big city draw. But one of the biggest big city draws is the large variety of employment -- not just for you, but your kids. You don't know what career they'll go into and they're more likely to be able to do it while staying near the metro area they grew up in if it's a large one with a good large varied job market, as opposed to having to choose between career and staying near family. Obviously remote/hybrid work makes that a little easier, but a lot of stuff still has to be done on site, it's still a competitive advantage to be able to choose between local AND remote jobs as opposed to ONLY remote jobs because your hometown is so small, and hybrid doesn't really make metro areas irrelevant, it merely expands their size, much as highways and commuter trains once did 50 and 100 or so years ago.
The % cut of $revenue is outside the main scope of my comment, which concerned child labor, a somewhat independent issue. It doesn't matter too much to me the % monthly revenue a 12 year old kid gets, I'm more concerned with the promise of unlikely riches encouraging kids to work long hours outside the oversight of traditional child labor laws. If that 12 year old is putting in a 30 hour work weeks then I think it's problematic regardless of the revenue with some minimal enforceable guardrails. I don't think parental signoff is sufficient either: the entertainment industry has plenty of examples of how that can go wrong, and also how some of those minimum guardrails might work.

Starlink isn't at the top of my list for "likely Kessler Syndrome starters" because its a rather low orbit.

They're at 550km up. From https://www.spaceacademy.net.au/watch/debris/orblife.htm puts it at likely a 10 year lifespan with some variation. The published lifespan of a satellite is 5 years.

Its the stuff in the 700km to 900km range that's a problem.

http://stuffin.space

https://www.satview.org/spacejunk.php - and you'll see things like STARLINK-1204 already getting deorbtied ( https://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=45203 - note its perigee is 204.0 km - its already well below the other orbits)

https://in-the-sky.org/spacecraft.php?id=45203 for more on that satellite.

Starlink-61 appears to be one of the oldest ones still in orbit - https://in-the-sky.org/spacecraft.php?id=44249 though its on its way down and you can see the type of impact and the duration of the "ok, this is going down".

Even with the maximum starlink, that's 1,700 satellites that will last about 10 years.

The 2007 China anti-satellite test created approximately 150,000 debris at 865km. Those are in an orbit that is on the order of 500 years.

Starlink isn't going to be the cause of Kessler Syndrome.

TMI has rightfully become a classic meditation book and it's one I still recommend, but at the risk of stirring the pot, I think it's important for new readers to be aware of the author's major improprieties, which led to him being exiled from his organization:

I felt this was important to share because there's a common fantasy in online meditation communities that if you meditate "enough" or in "the right way," you can fix all of your problems and fully self-actualize. But Culadasa is a stunning counterexample to that. As much as inner work is important, outer work is important too.

> ventilation. Why can't we live in a world where everyone wears heated clothes and we just leave the windows open (even in winter)?

Sounds pretty radical, but if you think about it, it sounds interesting. Specially now with the pandemic. In the first months our schools in Germany were forced to leave their windows open, even in the winter. I don't know how long they did this, but it must have been hard for them.

If everybody had such heated clothing, this sounds like an interesting idea, including in the context you're putting it in.

Then again, buildings need to be kept warm so that the humidity doesn't cause mold.

WebGL 2.0 today runs on not just desktop browser but also through the web on Xbox, which has a Chromium-based Edge which can run browser games and will get turbocharged with near native performance with the arrival of WebGPU.

> The trio specifically considered the range of values of α permitted by those two principles in supersymmetric 10D universes.

The two main problems with string theory are supersymmetry and the fact that it requires 10 dimensions. This is a problem because we have no evidence for either of those things, and have to make up new physics to explain them away.

So this paper says nothing more than string theory isn't inconsistent... with itself. Which it shouldn't be since the whole point of string theory was to come up with a consistent mathematical model that combines relativity and quantum mechanics.

You just get different natural disasters. Flooding that could damage your basement and foundation and prevent you from accessing certain roads is a regular occurrence, some people are always pumping out their basements every time it rains. A bad roof you could get away with in California where it rains 5 x a year could quickly spiral into more expensive rot and repairs in places that see heavy rains. Storms can still fall trees onto your house or car. Snowstorms often don't stop your employer from demanding your presence in the office or schools from closing because we are supposedly hardy in the midwest, and increasingly as the weather gets milder, ice storms that manifest as rain during the day but dangerous ice as soon as the sun sets and temperatures fall, coating your car in an inch thick layer of ice when you leave for work in the morning. And plus when the west burns up in flames, the smoke plume wafts east and settles down on the midwest, giving you the bad air anyhow. Speaking of air quality, if you have any allergies, the midwest is also not for you. You get slammed from pollen both from a variety of seasonal weeds, as well as from the intensive agriculture performed in the region.

I'm not even sure what statistics has to do with the OP's question or my responses. It only came up because you implied I don't understand "Bayesian likelihood" in your ad hominem.

My point is that a student can get a poor math grade or struggle in high school for reasons other than lack of ability or interest in math. One way to test that is to try learning math in a different environment (the personal example I gave). If a student is failing math one hypothesis is they are not able to understand math, or aren't applying themselves. Another hypothesis is that the teaching environment is less than ideal -- something Bayesian likelihood might support.

Easy to convert to native code is very different from easy to convert to optimal native code. Just like WASM having performance as a design goal both doesn't mean they achieved it nor does it mean that it won when a compromise had to be made against other design goals like portability or security.

In fact I'm quite certain that whenever portability or security ran up against performance in WASM's design, that performance always lost. Those other two goals were definitely a higher priority for WASM's designers.

Stable, portable byte codes are always inherently lossy. Information that could be (and often is) useful to optimizers is lost in that conversion. Then the conversion from byte code to running code also is on the hot path - it's on the hot path of starting execution. This is the same problem existing byte code solutions face, like CLR & JVM. WASM didn't manage to magic a solution where nobody else had. It's the same thing that's been done to death, just with "web" slapped on the front of it & bundled in a browser. That part of "being in a browser" makes it interesting for web devs, sure, but in the broader context of "all of computing" it's... just not? It's what we already have had (and been using!) for decades.

Boston isn't as scattered as it was 20 years ago. A lot of pharma and biotech in Kendall Square as well as outposts of California companies. And there are various startups maybe especially in the Seaport. Amazon has a lot of space in the Seaport as well.

But, yes, the computer industry in Massachusetts always tended to be in Metrowest and the defense contractors were/are out in the suburbs as well.
The previous poster is definitely massively oversimplifying things, and I do value your input as someone who actually works in the field. Obviously, there's still a lot of the same kind of controllers when it comes to all the switches and displays and motorized chairs and turn signal logic and all of those things which are practically the exact same as an ICE. And obviously there's some places where you don't need controllers and sensors on an EV where you would have them on an ICE, like mass airflow sensors and fuel injection controls and stuff like that. Meanwhile you do have additional circuitry like the inverters to actually drive the motors, BMS systems, there's still sensors on the motors and wheels and what not, brake regen, etc.

You mentioned the transmission is more complex compared to an ICE, but that does not make much sense to me at all. To my knowledge most EVs are essentially fixed gear ratio gearboxes, so you're either in drive, reverse, or neutral. Meanwhile ICE transmissions are becoming more and more like computer-controlled manual transmissions what with the rise in popularity of dual-clutch automatic transmissions. To me it seems a ton more complicated keeping track of operating that DCT than just "the dial is in D, change transmission to the forward mode."

Low Geopolitical risk but high risk to personal liberties, especially if you are a woman. Look at Ohio and its slow decline from purple into red state. Gerrymandered to hell and back too to prevent this from changing in the foreseeable future, and a state democratic party that is powerless against the state republicans who have secured tenures for life thanks to their inventive mapmaking processes. Companies move to Ohio because a corrupt politician offered them a cherry deal on property like this more often than not.

WASM is less secure than a regular process boundary, and far less secure than a hypervisor. I'm not sure where you're getting this from? Things like spectre mitigations in CPUs are not doing anything for the likes of WASM, after all, they only target process & ring boundaries. It's why you have to enable COOP and COEP to use thread with WASM - because the security for WASM's threads comes from the CPU enforcing process boundaries, not from WASM's sandbox.
I just checked 5 bedroom homes in Kendall and the cheapest on the first page of results was just under $800k. The average (first 6 results on Realtor.com) is $1,029,333. With Columbus you have to check the various neighborhoods (like Kendall is to Miami) so checking one of the nicer ones (Dublin) I see 4 in the $600k range with an average of the first 6 results of $837,283. That makes Dublin (a suburb of Columbus with top schools and higher than average incomes) quite a bit cheaper in the huge house arena.

Kendall's average household income is $73,612 while Dublin's is $137,867. If I picked a neighborhood with an equivalent household income the price difference would be even more stark.
None published; I’m working on a white paper about type division in the abstract case this quarter, once I finish up the second one on shape algebras.

Type division is like convolution from ML, which is why we can recognize “shapes of shapes” and undo the product structure. (And arguably, another avenue towards arriving at the manifold hypothesis.)

I’m currently working on the “easy” direction of encoding the type statements to matrices, with the hope most steps are reversible. (So far, so good.)

Then you should logically be OK with deleting the null pointer check, as that check is unreachable.
> Pointers are by their nature in the C virtual machine offsets into a linear memory space

Historically, many platforms - such as Multics or Windows 3.x - didn’t have a linear memory space, they had some kind of memory segmentation. The industry has largely moved away from that towards the flat address space model. Go back to the 1980s, it was still a much bigger thing, and people used C on those platforms, and the standard was written to support them. The actual detailed control of memory segmentation is inherently non-portable so cannot be addressed by the standard, but the standard defines pointer arithmetic in such a way to support those platforms - pointer arithmetic on unrelated pointers is undefined, because if the pointers belong to different memory segments the results can be meaningless and useless.
They aren't bugs. The C standard considers those cases to be undefined.

I believe the push came from Microsoft.

Apple has been able to do "clever" things while asleep, like waking up the wifi chipset periodically to check for email / messages / notifications / updates, so that when you wake up, everything magically feels ready to go instead of feeling like you just woke up from 1984 and have reams of crap to download.

But this only works well because Apple does their own firmware for most of the machine, and seems to do a reasonably good job, despite a few issues. They're careful about only doing things that aren't going to obliterate the battery in a way that would be surprising.

Microsoft is jealous of this functionality and knows they want something like that for Windows. They also know they need to cater to the lowest common denominator with system builders, so they asked Intel to put this kind of capability into their platforms, and to explicitly disable the old modes, so that system builders wouldn't be able to drag their feet. The result is that they've all switched, but the outcomes are generally poor and high variance. Sometimes they're passably okay within Windows, but not always. It'll probably get better, but for now things are crap, especially on Linux.
