Just chiming in here... I don't know that I would consider this counter-intuitive. Most introductory MIP textbooks make it amply clear that that IP and LP relaxations wouldn't be the same in general (except in special cases like when the constraint matrix is totally unimodular).

Even so, sometimes LP relaxations with rounding can produce "good enough" answers if an IP solution is intractable in a reasonable time. Consider the Wolsey example; the optimal integer objective is 5.0, and the LP relaxation (376/193,950/193) objective is an optimistic 5.10, whereas the closest rounded LP relaxation (2,4) objective is 4.56. Even though the x may be in a completely different area than the integer optimal solution, it still manages to achieve roughly the same objective.

So depending on the application, the rounded LP relaxation may just be good enough, especially in iterative processes (like control) where you just need to take baby steps toward a larger objective. It's not optimal, but it's not terrible.

I think the general consensus of many people, myself included, is that it doesn't matter what the specifics are, as long as they're being applied consistently. Beyond that, it's a question of optimizing the cost/benefit ratio.

The problem with most things that have to be applied manually is that they're also applied inconsistently. It's like Hungarian notation. Over time, it becomes pure noise: you can't rely on it, especially when reading someone else's code, so it's safer to just ignore it. At which point, the convention's cost/benefit is approaching infinity, because its denominator nearly zero. So I'm not sure I care if the absolute cost is small. It's still an almost complete waste of effort.

The only place I've ever seen manual conventions applied consistently enough to be useful in a sustainable way is when someone's carved out their own private silo of code that is mostly only touched by them.

> I think the decades of dominance of UDP/TCP over IPv4 over Ethernet (which comes with the pre-existing knowledge in everyone, the years of experience working with it for any IT person, the additional workarounds like NAT and UPnP and so on, and even the oldest hardware still reasonably running having full support) has made people think it was all just always easy and obvious from the get-go.

Yeah, it doesn't feel like that long ago when consumer routers with tiny translation tables would crash hard when anything opened a load of connections (think games but especially BitTorrent) because they didn't have much RAM.

I think for most people the switching moment will be something they don't even see - their ISP enables it and off they go.
It definitely wouldn't be 6to4; that requires a v4 address.

> the vast majority are not biological outliers simply people identifying as something different to their unambiguous biological sex

To make this claim, you would have had to find an exhaustive list of biological sex differences, and check a large representative random sample of transgender individuals to see whether all of those biological sex traits aligned "unambiguous[ly]" with their assigned birth sex.

Since I am quite confident that this work has not been done, may I suggest deferring to individual people to tell you what is going on in their bodies? While imperfect, self-reporting is still epistemologically far superior to you just pulling this claim out of your ass.

OK boomer. Which is exactly what I felt when young left. I despise Rogan and I don't like that Spotify got in bed with him like they did. But the behaviour of these artists is hypocritical and tone-deaf.

Also I auto-filter bcc'ed e-mails and if your e-mail has a tracking pixel in it (e.g. from Superhuman or some such), it will get deprioritized because I don't believe in privacy invasion attempts. (Also, your tracking pixel will be blocked so it won't work anyway.)

It will be hard for someone that always replies to the first thing only to empathize with this but: This has literally never happened to me. As in, I have never replied partially to something in an email. You will get an answer to each of your items. Granted, you may not get the answer you were looking for but I will answer each and every one, even if it's just a "I will have to look into this one and get back to you" so that the other 6 items can get answered right away.

Why do the thorough people always have to empathize and not the other way around?

While most of the nuclear debate focuses on this concern, I think it misses an even earlier concern: we do not have the capability to build nuclear at the scale needed for it to deal with the problem.

We would need to start and complete ~100 reactors in the next 20 years just to keep our current level of nuclear. Back in 2008, we started 4, have abandoned two due to construction incompetence, and the other two are taking 2-3x as long as expected, and cost 2-3x as much. This is with only four reactors. If we tried to scale this 25-50x, our problems would multiply, not get easier. And that's just to keep our current level of nuclear, not switch to a high level of nuclear like we would need to do in order for nuclear to be a significant part of our energy interchange.

We have far better routes to a carbon-free energy economy than paying contractors Thai have no clue what they are doing.
> Nuclear got the R&D subsidies for half a century without much to show for it. Nowadays renewables rightly has taken over that lead due to actual results.

Nuclear hasn't received meaningful funding in like 30-ish years. That's the period of time where the largest leaps would have been made.

No, you don't get that, obviously, because keep saying words – which need interpretation, whereas the words are at the same time saying that they should not be interpreted, just not by me – to me.

I am basicly saying that the interpretation is unacceptable, and that "they have been interpreted" is not an inherent quality of the word, because, as you have missed or may find irrelevant and impossibly complicated, like the finders of facts might, I'm interested in the historical linguistics of it and the implications for pragmatics and essentially discourse analysis. After all you are clearly saying that the intent matters.

In that sense, fuck you, no offense intended.

Also Prettier.js (which I'd call the "Black of JavaScript") also settled on double quotes. So we're left with a de facto consensus across programming languages as a whole, which kind of feels nice.

I've heard an explanation that they sell laptops with FreeDOS because in some places it's illegal to sell a preassembled computer with no OS. The expectation is that, yes, you would wipe it and install Linux, because most of the hardware in the thing doesn't even have DOS drivers.

Some OEMs don't sell laptops with DOS, but instead have a procedure where you can "return" the Windows license that came with it and get a refund.
It's somewhat disingenuous to use "primary energy" stats in this discussion. IIUC it includes stuff like gasoline used for transportation and natural gas used for heating and cooking. In France they produce 70-80% of their electricity from nuclear plants. Installing more renewables will not solve migration to EV and heat pumps, it's a whole another discussion barely relevant here.
Hopefully tomorrow so we can stop worrying.

Alternatively, you could go for a DevOps role and dip your feet into both worlds.

At the very least, you can remain a sysadmin and add more automation and spend a lot of your time programming.
regarding the apparently competing values of reliability and velocity, try propagating these goals through different mediums. code quality can absolutely be ingrained into the culture. things like TDD, when/what to integration test, and encouraging PR reviewers to enforce these requirements. you can literally just run an in-house course/training for everyone and the aggressively follow through.

once you’ve got reliability deep-seated in the culture, then you can talk about velocity all you want without worrying that your teams will make confused tradeoffs. in effect, you’ve communicated the nuanced concept that “we move fast, but always within the constraints that provide for a reliable product”. most people aren’t consciously thinking about it that way (not a bad thing), but their behavior matches what you were originally wanting to convey with a nuanced message.

Everything is possible, but I doubt it. How could a musician not be aware of this? Controversy over lyrics isn’t a new thing, even if it has been fading away lately.

Sex is a biological concept, and not even a binary one, as intersex people exist, gender is a social concept.

Sex is mostly based on a mix of genome and primary sexual characteristics. Gender is based on how one presents themselves in society and in turn gets treated by it, as our societies are very gendered.

They're concepts in two very different domains, why would you assume them to be interdependent? They only tend to be statistically correlated in the same way that gender and sexuality tend to be: most people are heterosexual but the two are independent as being a man doesn't mean one is attracted to women. Same goes for gender, being born with female sex doesn't mean one's gender is female.

Honestly I've some trouble understanding how some people find this to be such a hard concept, it's exactly the same thing as gender/sexuality and this is even without getting into that neither sex nor gender are binary, as shown biologically by intersex people and socially by the very article we're discussing.
That's quite problematic really. The word does certainly not come from the first reich and its Romance roots appear questionable. As etymonline points out, the er-ending should regularly be lost from Anglo-Norman-French. Therefore it seems more likely to me that it is a Nordic influence, as -er is the usual verb ending e.g. in Swedish, jag kommer ham (I come home), and it is still used as a verb at the end of your excerpt, tendered. In addition, to extend ones wishes shows that both words can be understood to mean "to offer", and ex-, es-, s- appears particularly often in French as if reanalyzed after a minor sound change (conversely, t > ts, tsh, ch is much more common), and this is probably still seen in German stunden (to extend a dead-line) if other explanations (i.e. from Stunde "hour", or akin to stun). Before this background it's nigh impossible to guess the origin, if Latin was still prefered and often corrupting native words in writing. In particular, it could be equivalent to "currency" if cognates mean approximately current, on going, cp. German ständig, also the verbal phrase Kosten erstatten. However it's likely more complicated than that, or "immitative" as the OED would say.

So, all things considered, Breckinridge is likely refering to one of those maximally English etymologies.

I reckognize that this has little bearing on an 18th century interpretation if the word was free to be interpeted. It just has nothing to do with literal interpretation, and beyond that I'm not really interested, or not equipped to argue on the basis of case law.
Sometime ago I came across Flix [1] which supports "First-class Datalog Constraints". I feel like this is the "right way" to implement Prolog: provide syntax/semantics for supporting logic programming, but don't force everything to be a Prolog predicate.

I think you are treating DAOs as a single monolithic idea, when it is more like an infant design space.

I would say the core idea of a DAO is this: how can we organize a disparate group of people around a common goal, more easily than in the past?

Whether you think they are a joke or not, ConstitutionDAO, SpiceDAO (which I think is the worst example in this space given their lack of diligence or thought on IP issues), OrangeDAO, FlamingoDAO, etc., are all unique in that they have organized a disparate group of people more quickly than in the past, and enabled them to more efficiently work together towards a shared goal.

There are many ideas being explored:

1. Can we have better laws (like Wyoming is exploring) or regulations?
2. If the DAO is decentralized enough, are the tokens still (or should they be) a security? Are there better ways to regulate something like this globally?
3. How do you coordinate a disparate group of people? How should you let in new entrants, or weight votes? How should a DAO manage its treasury?
4. What happens if all voting proposals are public and verifiable on the blockchain? Is that good or bad?

At it's core, yes, I think you can say that a DAO is basically the idea of a corporation, except with most of the discussion on Discord and with on-chain voting, and plus some securities laws issues that are at best gray areas and at worst, in some cases, clear violations. But I think that is ignoring that something worthwhile might come out of that design space.

Furthermore, solutions for the waste problem already exist in the form of fast breeder reactors [1] which can be used to create new fuel for (conventional) reactors. Using these the total amount of waste needing storage is reduced by a factor of 10. The remaining waste has a far shorter half life (none of the reaction products has a half-life between 100 to 210.000 years, all actinides are consumed in the reaction) which results in a relatively short (200-300 years) storage period instead of the thousands for spent fuel.

This is not just some piece of fiction, there are several active FBRs with several more on the drawing board or under construction.

Operations research is the art and science of obtaining bad answers to questions to which otherwise worse answers would be given.
DAOs are unable to perform any interesting calculation due to excessive cost of computation. It can't even solve a Linear Program to distribute resources effectiently (let alone actual scheduling which requires mixed integer problems which often take many core hours on actual CPUs). Any function a DAO can perform a notary can perform cheaper, including running votes.

A major factor in this is a lack of willingness to take the time to understand something, possibly rooted in a meta-failure: not understanding that it takes time to understand things! There's various motivating forces that impel us to race along to the next thing instead of taking a little bit to absorb something, think about it, or discuss it.
The fear mongering isn't the problem with nuclear these days. The problem is that the US can't build it. VC Summer was a scam, billing rate payers of something like $9B for an abandoned construction site, and jail time for executives.

Vogtle is little better, and by the time it's finished, it will be some of the most expensive energy on the grid, and spending that money on solar and storage would have had a much much bigger climate impact.

Utilities know the financial risk of attempting nuclear construction, and the only reason these two sites attempted new nuclear is because laws were passed to pass all financial risk on to the public when there are construction failures. The public deserves better.

Though this editorial may be annoying, it's a complete distraction from the true cause of nuclear's failure in the 21st century, and that cause is entirely the nuclear industry's own fault.
Interesting, you appear to be hitting some kind of pathological case with the `vec!` macro. Apparently it doesn't like being used with a 15,000-line literal. :P Fortunately you're right, there's a different way to do this, which AFAICT doesn't suffer from the same pathology. I replaced this:

pub struct Choice {
pub word: String,
pub avg_remaining: f64,
}

pub fn root_choices() -> Vec<Choice> {
vec![
Choice { word: "roate".to_string(), avg_remaining: 60.42462203023758 },

with this:

use std::borrow::Cow;

#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct Choice<'a> {
pub word: Cow<'a, str>,
pub avg_remaining: f64,
}

pub const ROOT_CHOICES: &[Choice] = &[
Choice { word: Cow::Borrowed("roate"), avg_remaining: 60.42462203023758 },

and it brought the time of `cargo clean && cargo build --release` down from 345 seconds to 13 seconds. I consider this a compiler bug, I'll file it if I can't find an existing issue.
