I'd like to put forth a bold hypothesis. You have one of these in your skull and its an integral part of your visual system. Anyone who has experimented with psychedelic drugs has seen the intricate geometrical and fractal patterns. The explanation for these visions is that the brain works on feedback loops and the brain waves, not the individual neurons, are the currency of representation and thought. This idea has been rediscovered and elaborated independently several times by rational psychonauts since the discovery of LSD, most notably in Steven Lehar's PhD Thesis (1994) and James Kent's book Psychedelic Information Theory (2010). This feedback wave theory of brain function has basically been experimentally confirmed with fMRI data in the papers "Harmonic brain modes: a unifying framework for linking space and time in brain dynamics" and "Connectome-harmonic decomposition of human brain activity reveals dynamical repertoire re-organization under LSD" (both from Selene Atasoy 2017).

So back to my bold hypothesis. The optical nerve connects the eyeballs from way up in the front of the skull to the occipital lobe way in the back of the skull. The conventional view is that the placement of this part of the brain and the long nerve connecting to it is a mistake of evolution which can't be refactored out in incremental steps. My hypothesis is that the lengthy optical nerve isn't a mistake and isn't just a wire but is in fact an integral part of how vision works. The optical nerve is a delay line, with different paths through the optical nerve being more or less circuitous. The available paths through the optical nerve can result in simple transformations such as rotation, translation, contraction, diffusion (gaussian blur) and time-averaging (temporal gaussian blur).

What I'm suggesting is perhaps the lengthy optical nerve wires in our skull literally serve the same function as the long tube with the screen/cameras in this machine. Maybe the output images of this machine look nice to our brains because they are exactly the same patterns our brain is already looking for and thus satisfactory comprehension is immediate. The two parallel cameras on two parallel long tubes in this machine bears an uncanny resemblance to the eyes are situated in the skull and connected to the brain.
RPATH and RUNPATH are indeed different. However, I believe the -rpath flag is used to set either (--enable/disable-new-dtags determines which one is used), so the confusion is understandable.
I could not stand a permanent standard time. The sun would rise at 4:15 in the summer. The sun already rises way to early in the summer, making it even earlier would be unimaginable.

Hah! This made me laugh. Yes, I disagree with you therefore I must be arrogant. (:
Pretty much, yeah.

I knew I needed some extra sanity checks around input parsing and sanity checking shorter than expected buffers. Fuzzing the function that parsed input caused panics and other errors that I was able to fix by adding bounds/sanity checks in the right places.
The movie is in the running for greatest American movie made; so much of it is so very good, and so many things went exactly right. The book, as others have said, is a pulp potboiler; no serious critic would place it on a list of 1,000 best novels.

Funnily enough, Die Hard is similar. It’s a great action movie, legendary and timeless. The book on which it’s based is awful.

It’s so rare that this happens, when usually it’s the reverse — a great book is made into a bad or mediocre movie. The true exceptions — great books made into great movies — seem vanishingly rare to me. Off the top of my head I can only think of a few: Lawrence of Arabia (from The Seven Pillars of Wisdom), The English Patient, The Name of the Rose. Apocalypse Now from Heart of Darkness, perhaps?
Here’s the misunderstanding.

Your example above, where all spins are in their highest possible energy state, really has temperature T=-0, an infinitesimal temperature just below absolute zero. This would not be the negative temperature possible.

You are correct that energy would flow out of this maximal-energy system. But it corresponds to System B in my example - the system at the less negative temperature.

The animation near the top of the article shows this nicely. The particles approach their max possible state as T flips to negative and approaches zero from below.

Temperatures of positive and negative infinity are statistically equivalent in this example, where states of any energy are equally likely.

It’s only at smaller less-negative temperatures where the population inversion occurs.
I hear there was a time that we did some pretty messed up things in the US, and some people didn't seem to have a problem with it at the time. Doesn't sound so catchy right?

Society changes, people adapt. If there was not a strong desire, it wouldn't have passed unanimously.
I agree with most of it, except this.

"and we need to shift law enforcement from a reactionary system to a preventative system."

Given their track record, this is much more likely to be abused than to help. It's a fairly common issue that PFA orders are abused during divorce proceedings. Things like PFAs and Red Flag laws are civil law which lacks many of the protections and rights associated with defense under criminal law.
In what way? I recognize that the remarks Terry A. Davis made were not his fault, it's the mental illness. Doesn't change the fact that he had an unfortunate fixation on race. I wish his terrible fate could have been avoided, but having been very close for many years to a schizophrenic person, I can tell you that they will only get treatment if they want to. You can't force them. You can try to be there and help them in small ways, but sometimes it's just impossible to make them change course.

When I think of TempleOS I think that it was both strange and funny. It was the artistic creation of a mentally ill programmer. I still think that, if it made me and other people laugh at times, that's a small positive thing. I wasn't laughing at the creator, but the small religious minigames in TempleOS cracked me up at times.

Michael Hudson (Harrison Ford) has spent his professional life trying to escape the shadow of his much more successful eccentric fraternal-twin brothers Ed (Steve Martin) and Anthony (Jeff Goldblum). After a few too many drinks with his commiserating co-worker Barbara (Felicia Day), he finally hatches the plan to end all plans before his upcoming retirement--as long as President Collison (Tim Meadows) doesn't get wind of the scheme first.

Wow, good observation. This is supremely messed up.

Thank you for this post. I agree and feel the struggle as well.
Often the issue is even to communicate that this type of data is, literally, a _secret_ and should be treated accordingly.

I'm looking forward to things like mTLS and solutions with short token lifetimes and automated rotation. This should definitly reduce the amount of encrypted secrets in Git repos and basic auth logins for every 3rd exposed service.

In the end developers rarely care how the secrets gets to the application, or if it's fresh or been in the same namespace for over a year.
I use it with Rust, and my only grief is that it only takes the current file as context.

It is dumb but very good at doing repeating things, or being a very smart auto-complete. For writing tests, it is actually quite decent.
That would indeed be one more thing.
Could you elaborate on why UCS-2 is so wasteful? I think that makes sense on the surface level, but if you encoded a message using all the characters available in the BMP that UCS-2 provides then each character has tens of thousands of options rather than <125 with GSM-7. Considering the difference is a little less than half (70 chars per message vs 160), with the right encoding, shouldn't UCS-2 be much more efficient? Or is it not possible to encode data like that?
> That is the "tragedy of good enough" and why Nix, NixOS, jails, FreeBSD or anything else won't be as popular until vaguely low skilled developers can get easily started with them. Maybe things just need to cool down and become more stable

Right. The Dockerfile format is much less elegant than Nix, but it's easier to get started with, and can be used for most cases.

I don't necessarily see everyone _writing_ Nix. But I think one way Nix can gain in adoption with developers is Nix makes it easy to make dependencies available for working on a project.

I'd also point to git: many developers struggle to use git; and might use it for some time without an intuitive understanding. The network effects of GitHub have somehow been enough to make git a prominent tool, despite it being difficult to use.

I think as more Nix stuff becomes copy-pasteable, there are enough use cases which don't require deep understanding of Nix.
Aside from all the very good reasons people are giving for not using google, the question I'm asking is

What is google doing in the domain space that is different from any other provider? What's their unique USP?

Anyone technical can use another provider and connect to Google services if they'd like (or other service).

Anyone non-technical that is using SquareSpace (Canva now has a website builder as well - but no domain sign-up yet), can get a domain through SquareSpace.

So, the question is, who is this for?
> the PoW environmental show-stopper

You make some great points, so I'm sorry to focus on this one minor aspect, but I don't think the carbon footprint of Bitcoin is a show-stopper.

We accept the CO2 emissions of other industries and inventions, from air travel to air conditioning, and perhaps if those were invented today some people would want to ban them, but "the show must go on", and it looks like Bitcoin will sooner be replaced by a cryptocurrency with better scalability (and possibly privacy) than being meaningfully banned because of environmental reasons.

For the record, it looks like Ethereum's switch to Proof of Stake has been successful on the testnet, and the live launch should occur in June or July this year.[0] If the "Freedom Convoy" had only waited a few months, they could have avoided the criticism of Bitcoin's environmental impact entirely.

The issue for contemporary music is not that it's bad. Pop music has always been 99% bad. The issue is that it's not possible to create successful new IP anymore. We see this across entertainment. It used to be that a disc jockey in a mid-sized market could find a record, spin it a bunch, create a regional sensation that would eventually break through nationally. That just cannot happen anymore. Instead, there are YouTube and Spotify niches that go deep like Lofi Chill Beats to Study To or whatever, but they can't break out and grow. They just keep getting the same audience but deeper instead of broader.

This certainly can be true, but how often it is or isn’t certainly is not absolute as your statement, nor is it easily measurable.

Like many other issues regarding law enforcement, this certainly requires greater scrutiny.

Only a little. The bulk of the complexity for large data like textures isn't around the dma transfer, it's instead around things like ensuring data is properly aligned, that things like textures are swizzled if that format is even documented at all, and ensuring it's actually safe to read or write to the buffer (that is, that the GPU isn't still using it). Also in actually allocating memory in that a malloc/free isn't really provided, rather something like mmap is instead. So you want a (re)allocator on top of that.

And there's also the complexity of things like Vulkan want to work on both unified and non-unified systems.

Also unified doesn't necessarily mean coherent, so there's additional complexities there.
I'm now curious to know whether Copilot could correctly answer those riddles

Lol. You won't own anything, but nothing's going to be free.
That's quite interesting.

I wonder how much of the population in US (and worldwide) lives in Eastern/Western part of timezones and whether people's preference is correlated with what part of the timezone they live in. I'd also like to see research if moving an extra hour or two would continue to see gains (not sure how one would do that, perhaps recruiting people with different life schedules).

Eg. I prefer having DST on all the time, but I am at the almost Eastern end of the timezone, so perhaps my preference is affected by my experience too: eg. I already get 1h of earlier sunrise than Western-most parts of the TZ for the same wall clock time, but it's already dark outside at 4pm in winter months so way before work is done, which is what makes me unhappy.

If it turns out majority of the population would prefer DST only because majority of the population lives in Eastern parts of the timezones, that'd be pretty unfair to those living in Western parts of the timezones, which is why I wonder what's the population distribution across timezones.
Because not all statements apply to all situations.
Glad that they're trying to simplify it, though it'ld seem obnoxious to maintain a 1-hour addition to the discrepancy between solar-time and clock-time.

It'ld seem far more sensible to have a system that tries to align clock-noon with solar-noon (this is, noon on a [sun-dial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundial )). After that, if folks want to change whatever times work/school/etc. are at, awesome, folks can change such times -- as a matter of scheduling, without obfuscating clock-times.

I guess it doesn't matter too much. Computers should be able to re-interpret times, such that different folks in the same community could use different time-systems, while computers would automatically interpret between them for users' convenience. Then, folks could pick the time-system of their choice without regard for what their peers use -- much like no-one cares what font-size others use -- rendering the exact choice of standard a relatively low-level primitive-formatting-detail.

> Doesn't change the fact that he had an unfortunate fixation on race.

If so, he shares that trait with plenty of people in the US, who increasingly view "racial blindness" as untenable. Of course it's not their fault either: "noticing" race is simply a very successful, self-replicating memetic parasite which can leverage the likes of Twitter or 4chan equally as platforms for its spread.
Exactly, this was the result of an overly activist judgement. Signalled by a unanimous vote (how often does that happen in any state?) that the court overstepped it's bounds and gave it definitive statutes to rule by and reign it back in.
ARMv8.3-A added the new instruction LDAPR to allow acq_rel to be cheaper than seq_cst, so presumably it was worth adding.

This summarises (https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/architecture...):

"The Armv8.0 support for release consistency is based around the “RCsc” (Release Consistency sequentially consistent) model described by Adve & Gharacholoo in [1], where the Acquire/Release instructions follow a sequentially consistent order with respect to each other. This is well aligned to the requirements of the C++11/C11 memory_order_seq_cst, which is the default ordering of atomics in C++11/C11."

"Instructions are added as part of Armv8.3-A to support the weaker RCpc (Release Consistent processor consistent) model where it is permissible that a Store-Release followed by a Load-Acquire to a different address can be re-ordered. This model is supported by the use of memory_order_release/ memory_order_acquire /memory_order_acqrel in C++11/C11."
I remember this too. The major difference is things auto-update more frequently, and people have higher bandwidth connections. So it's less of a problem that 14 years ago, luckily.
Yes, and that is the framing that is commonly used by NIMBYs.

The trouble is, this is akin to trying to stop the ocean from breaking waves on the beach. The change is going to happen. You can stand against it, or you can work with it to get a mutually beneficial outcome. If you choose to stand against it, don't be surprised when the world either rolls you over or goes around you.
More people are awake at 5pm than at 7am though. Lots of people won't benefit from more sunlight that early in the morning, but almost everyone benefits from more sunlight in late afternoon / early evening.
