The reference implementation does make that assumption. OpenBSD's ntp does too. phk, author of ntimed had written some blog posts exploring asymmetric paths, so I think ntimed doesn't assume symmetry, but assigns it higher probability. I don't remember what chrony does.

The thing is, it's rather difficult to determine the individual components of the path latency without an out of band reference clock. Especially if all of your network clocks are about the same round trip away.
I remember when Pandora was attempting to compute the "DNA" of a song (assorted classifications like key, tempo, style) and recommend music based on that. You could then get a "station" based on a single song, and fine-tune it by adding more or disliking songs as they came up.

The end result was underwhelming- it never really captured the characteristics that I actually liked about particular songs, and ended up being crappy or so narrowly tuned that it lacked enough variety to be interesting.

The concept is still around, but with less scientific sounding fluff and, I think, more relaxed parameters for recommendations.

You might like what we've built with Write.as [0]. It's Markdown-based, but without all the publishing overhead of a static site generator.

You could say the same about "conscious" in general. There's not a single coherent definition of the word, not even in academic debates.
Well, by now they have a reputation: Leakers of high-profile cases can stay anonymous if they go to this newspaper.
I knew I shouldn’t have trusted those stock tips from Aunt Tracey…

A whiteboard on the fridge is what we use too because it’s something we see several times a day without fail which has been a huge help for my ADHD too.

We tried shared systems like Notion and found we spent more time tinkering with the things instead of using the things.
It's not just PR it's entire companies. I had a job interview with a guy who wanted me to do sales for his ML company and was bragging he had "AI" to predict who was going to win the Academy Awards. He had con-vinced someone with deep pockets that was going to work. If you go look at tech jobs on LinkedIn you see countless new companies with similar mud foundations that are somehow raising capital.
I've been on this site for 11 years, your mention of a search function baffled me. I see it now.
Overall humanity is much larger and richer than it was 40 years ago. Paper use includes packaging, plates, toilet paper, etc so it’s hard to get actual numbers as it relates to IT. Especially when recycling initiatives have resulted in new uses for lower grade paper products.

That said, personally I am way down due to IT not just replacing forms but also physical books, newspapers, and even bills.
Evaluating 2^k steps takes O(k) multiplications when done using a fast exponentiation algorithm.

Even assuming O(n^2) multiplication and O(n) prime divisors, checking a single candidate shouldn't take more than O(n^4). I'm sure that in reality you can do much better, probably significantly under O(n^3), e.g. because there are fewer prime factors, using a faster multiplication algorithm, and by reusing intermediate results during the exponentiations.

Factoring 2^n-1 can be done once for a given n in O(2^(n/4)), so it is not the bottleneck.

There are also probably quite a lot of checks that can quickly rule out lots of values without having to give them to the heavy machinery. In the end I expect the total running time to be O(2^n * n^2) or so.
Wow, that's impressive. After figuring out the game I got 8 shapes which I thought was good!
It's hard to tell if this is a genuine question ... it comes across as dismissive, and pretty much pure snark, and I suspect that's why you're being downvoted.

If you really do have a genuine question then we'd all benefit from seeing it asked and answered. If you're simply saying that in your opinion this is all a waste of time, then either have the courage to recognise that that's what you're saying and say it out loud, or don't say it.

I'm disappointed that you're not being constructive. I'm sure you don't really care about my opinion, but since you felt free to express yours, even if only in this coded form, then so I'm feeling free to express mine.
You can have sync conflicts with multiple people pushing to a bare repo on a shared folder at the same time. This kind of file sharing with git only works on NFS or filesystems that support locking (look at the git manual for this warning). Syncthing doesn't support that--it _might_ work for some time, but stress it with multiple people all at once and it will explode into sync conflicts eventually.
It seems, from random stuff I read on internet, that even with current ASML EUV steppers, there is a lot of transistor size reduction possible. And with the high-NA improvement, we can expect even more.
This is very good news for the 2/3 next generations of CPU/GPUs. We can "reasonably" expect "really" more, namely significantly faster/less power hungry of what we have now. But it seems we are missing foundries to scale for the worldwide demand, and many video game AAA studios (which will have the decency to provide builds for linux based OSes, meh). On the mobile front maybe some new radio modulation beyond 5G in order to properly use chips based on those new processes.
I've come to love cold, dry, desolate places. (Such as Montana). The downsides aren't nearly what people make them out to be, and the upsides are amazing. Cold really isn't that bad, and winter hobbies are a lot of fun.
Pandoc, anyway, is essential. Many rely on Git-annex.

The only essential Rust program I know of is Blake3.

I don't know of any essential Java or .Net programs; anyway, I have no runtime for either. Maybe Minecraft and KSP?

Are any in Ada? With no runtime (as for Rust), we might not be forced to notice.

I have not encountered any in Erlang.
The Bill of Rights was literally inspired by various English Bills of Rights. To view the early U.S. as some sort of magical utopian exceptional polity that grew out of the head of Zeus is using incredibly rose-colored glasses; George Washington literally put down a tax rebellion with force, John Adams did as well, and Adams signed the Alien and Sedition Acts. Just ask Daniel Shays how much the Bill of Rights helped him.

From the beginning the United States was as flawed and as human as every single other government in the history of the world, and to pretend there is some sort of magical exceptionalism to it is both hopelessly utopian and impractical for useful discourse.

Probably Java, much as it pains me to say that. Mature language and ecosystem, will have longevity for decades more since it's as deeply embedded in business systems as COBOL was, and can be used for cross-platform GUI applications with a bit of effort.

(Python may be easier but, thanks to the GIL, doesn't deal well with multiple threads of execution and that's the name of the game to get performance from modern multi-core systems.)

The problem with Discord and anonymity is the fact that it's really tedious to have multiple Discord accounts.

Let's say you want to keep your work, hobby and private profiles completely separate. You'd need to have one with the official client and the other two with a separate browser each. Also you'd need to be super careful when joining a new server for any category to make doubleplussure you're not joining with the wrong profile.
The ‘intuitive’ strategy of building a compact electromagnet and placing it between Mars and the Sun at the first Lagrange point is unfeasible. The most feasible design is to encircle or wrap Mars at the equator with a superconducting wire loop. The resulting wire diameter could be as small as ∼5 cm. With this design, the magnetic shield would have a mass of ∼10^12 g and would require mining ∼10^18 g, or only 0.1% of Olympus Mons. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.05546.pdf
> they will make you stronger for a short while

I'm curious about the precise interpretation here. Are you saying increased strength be lost and I will return to baseline before I started exercising? Or are you saying I will get a certain amount of increase and I will maintain it, but it will plateau there?

Because I'm just fine with the 2nd scenario. The first would be weird and contradicts my experience (nearly 2 years in ...).

Linux is definitely more anonymous than Windows/Mac, but if you seriously want to be anonymous, you should use Qubes with Whonix.
understood.

What's the design pattern you recommend Temporal users use to implement multiple consumers?

Usecase: Handle a large, spiky backlog by dynamically sharding the consumer input, starting and putting multiple consumers to work until the backlog is within nominal specs.

Eg: Shipping orders during a sales event. Each S&H order takes the same response time but multiple S&H orders can be parallelized and there are a few hundred thousand orders pending. Of course, S&H order can fail, in which case they are restored to the pending state after a timeout or loss of a lock

The whole discussion is pure fluff and a Twitter box match. You'll do yourself a favor by keeping all this noise out and concentrate on actually valuable books and writings.

Any doofus and their cat can have an opinion on whether machines are conscious. We've been having this debate since Turing and even earlier.

Also any time a Twitter storm comes up around AI, you will predictably have certain blocks building and flinging excrement at each other for various latent political disagreements.

For Sutskever, it's a way to get into the news cycle, to get lots of engagement. Do you want to reward these? It's like Musk tweets. You can probably have more "impact" with a well optimized two-line off-hand tweet than with an actual book where you explain some novel idea.
It is. Putin's strategy appears to be to encourage it to either be neutral, a puppet of Russia or failing that to break it - drive to to become a failed state.

It somewhat parallels the US's approach to Cuba.

The US's approach to Ukraine is that much like Georgia it's a cheap way to stir up trouble for Russia and sap its military strength but actually protecting its citizens isnt considered worthwhile, although this seems to have escaped the notice of at least half the citizens and its President.

Zelenskyy is kind of getting played by both powers and Ukraine is slowly getting torn to pieces as a result.

There’s no evidence that neural nets can form an AGI so it’s a moot point. The AGI is an I’ll defined inflection point.
> They're just being expelled from their government position for a specific reason.

Granted the story is about a political employee being fired but it's in the context of people's fundamental freedoms being taken away with no judicial process and no recourse. That is an egregious abuse of power and threatens everyone, not just the supporters of the maligned cause du jour. 20 years ago when the draconian anti-terrorism laws were being brought in across the world it was predicted that it would lead to the crushing of political freedoms and this is an example of that occurring. Back then it was islamist terrorism, now terrorism is being extended to include practically anything that the illiberal left doesn't like.

It seems to be a complex topic: https://www.pnas.org/content/111/4/1328.abstract
No, I'm trying to point out that you have very unrealistic expectations of the world you live in. This is very simple: beverages such as tea and coffee are brewed, held, and served at temperatures that make them extrememly dangerous if you spill them on yourself. This isn't my opinion. At the risk of repeating myself: when Stella was injured, McDonalds' corporate policy required coffee to be held at 180-190 deg F. This is nearly identical to the range recommended by professional coffee associations like the NCA, who TODAY recommend that coffee be held and served at around 180-185 deg F (~80-85 deg C) [1]. This temperature range was, and still is, used by nearly every coffee shop, restaurant, and domestic coffee machine.

So if you personally can't handle the risk of dangerously hot beverages, then you'll want to be sure to specifically ask, everywhere you go, for warm coffee. Starbucks has a procedure to accommodate people like you, which I believe involves simply setting the cup aside for a while to cool before they give it to you. (EDIT: I hear Starbucks actually has a more flexible process and equipment settings which can "officially" accomodate a range of service preferences, so that might really be the place you want to go).

If you want to make coffee for yourself, you'll need to come up with a procedure that's safe for you. Don't use a coffee maker; like I said, my Mr. Coffee machine holds coffee at around 185 deg F. So does yours. Look it up. Remember that this is right around the temperature that melted Stella's flesh.

I and most other people prefer coffee that has been brewed, held, and served at the proper temperature, which is why those standards exist and are almost universally used. And I'm extremely grateful that Stella's hot coffee lawsuit didn't ruin it for everybody; I felt really bad for her, and I don't begrudge her medical bills being paid, but I'm very glad her lawsuit had no lasting effect beyond sterner warnings on coffee cups.

Folks like yourself who for whatever reason don't want to be exposed to that danger are in a difficult position, and you need to take responsibility for your special needs, as it were. You will not be successful in suing for "excessively" hot coffee; Stella's lawsuit was pretty much a one-off, and personal injury lawyers have mostly moved on to suing over defective lids instead of excessive temperatures [2].

My comparison with knives and other common hazards is not merely academic. I've come very close to losing fingers and my eyesight to knives and other cutting tools. And you will not be successful in suing the maker or seller of knife that turns out to be "excessively" sharp. Just an example.

To clarify, are you saying that:

1. There are already good reverse proxy libraries in C#?

2. There are already good reverse proxy libraries in other languages?

3. There are already good reverse proxy applications?

If it's #1, then yeah, it would be nice if the ReadMe explained why YARP is different. To be fair, they're at least consolidating a bunch of efforts within Microsoft:

> We found a bunch of internal teams at Microsoft who were either building a reverse proxy for their service or had been asking about APIs and tech for building one, so we decided to get them all together to work on a common solution, this project.

If it's #2, then what do C# developers do? Having to build your proxy in another language isn't a deal-breaker, but there are advantages to keeping your project/team/company on a single language.

(And Microsoft does contribute to Envoy [1][2].)

If it's #3, that only works up to a point. My old team used Nginx, which was perfect in the beginning. But over time we needed to customize things in ways that were difficult to do within Nginx's architecture (either in Lua or in C), leading to hackier and hackier solutions. Using a proxy library to build exactly what you need can make things much simpler.

I do not agree with this. Some level of chaos adds charm and authenticity to the place. Not allowing people to do what they want (provided that it doesn't physically hurt anyone) is a suppression of freedom and culture. One of the most wonderful things about south east Asia are the people selling random things on the sidewalk.

Life is chaos and we should embrace it, incorporate it, not hide it.
For a counter example: the US imposition of its FATCA law on every financial institution on the plant regardless of domicile, without compensation for the costs of enforcement.
Exactly, syncthing has flawless p2p discovery and networking/sharing of files. Being able to put a git bare repo effectively on a syncthing share would be super convenient for small private collaboration. Tailscale might be an option to make a bunch of local git repos all start pushing/pulling, but it has some headaches too and isn't really designed for opening up small single services.
Estonia includes cryptographic keys with their identity docs, it's like plugging in your passport to be able to prove your identity and sign documents. It sounds like a great system, they only had to re-issue certificates once a few years ago when they realized the keys were too weak, but I can't find any other country that's taken up the decade-old technology.

They also have a state-provided email inbox for official communications, which I wish we had. A friend of mine had her car towed because the registration had lapsed -- she had ignored a letter from the DMV asking for proof of insurance b/c it looked like a scam to her. If only the government had a way to prove ITS identity.
yeah, I was similar, my brain just told me the right ones, I didn't really have to work it out.
I believe the good experts are already distancing themselves from the AI term. It will backfire and will go out of fashion once again. There are important tools and skills in this space, but "AI" has been used more for deception than for clarity.

IIT is the most coherent definition of consciousness I'm aware of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_information_theor...

People dismiss it often, and it has valid academic criticisms, but most "lay" critiques I've seen seem to dismiss it because it gives things they don't consider to be "conscious like them" consciousness.

I think in general, we overexagerate qualities that humans have as uniquely special and important (intelligence, sentience, consciousness), even if the definition of them is fuzzy and any non-fuzzy definition is "too inclusive". I wonder if this is because we are collectively Identity building and creating an "other" out of nature, because otherwise we'd

1. Be much less special as we want to fee

2. Would have to consider a lot of inconvenient externalities for our reasoning (moral and otherwise) to be consistent

And both are slowdowns when you are bootstrapping a post scarcity society out of scarcity, so it'd culturally valuable to reify special qualities that we just determine "we" possess and "they" don't - because it's easier to unify on and allows more actions than making sure everyone can deal with the unfiltered reality of human... unremarkableness in an uncaring world, another social species like so many other with a temporary oligarchy on the planet (without wanting to drone to philosophically, I do think this aspect of Weltschmerz is underappreciated, especially seeing the anxiety amongst my peer group when the topic comes up)

There isn't, but the response to this lack of definition shouldn't be to simply terminate the discussion.

We know it's probably a real thing because we experience it, and it's an extremely important open question whether an AGI on hardware will have "it" too.

The answer to the question will have large ethical implications a few decades into the future. If they can suffer just like animals can, we really need to know that so we don't accidentally create a large amount of suffering. If they can't suffer, just like rocks probably can't, this doesn't have to be a concern of ours.
