Not in classical thermodynamics, but temperatures above the Planck temperature aren't understood with current quantum models. It would probably require a theory of quantum gravity to shed further light on this.
We were using the Express edition, and I don't think a database needs 4GB of RAM for serving 600MB of data in a glorified CRUD and filter application that receives 1 update every 2 seconds, and serves a bunch of queries every 5 minutes. An unoptimized Sqlite can do that easily without the crazy memory.
I think Tensorflow made a bad move in academia by being so damn difficult to use on their earlier versions. Sure, their performance was always better than PyTorch's, but when you are an overworked PhD student you care less about your code being efficient and more about your code working at all.

Word got around that debugging PyTorch was relatively painless, those earlier models made it into publications, and now here we are.

That's fair, although there are so many other products available that do the same thing, run by organisations much less cooperative with governments. Perhaps the scale of a company like Apple providing it changes the equation, but it still strikes me as scare-mongering, however I am of the opinion that the government shouldn't have the ability to passively monitor individual internet use so that probably makes me biased

The former. It's a refrain I've heard frequently from the older generation about how young Japanese have a less global outlook due to travelling abroad less for work or having fewer foreigners visit for work. I'm not Japanese myself so I can't comment as to how much I agree with this perspective.

Time to delink china. If the west really needs “cheap” labour then east europe would be more than happy to cover the gap - albeit more expensive than india or china, but the quality will be better. Also wouldn't harm to bring some manufacturing back to western countries. These bullies will one day consume us with our own money if not. No tariffs, just quiet, sustained, investment and subsidies where needed.
It's undeniably more efficient to maintain a motor pool with a centralized mechanic shop.

I get that the taxi experience was not ideal for you, but Uber did introduce a lot of inefficiency into the livery market by decentralizing maintenance, procurement, and financing. Uber was able to do this while undercutting incumbents on price through a combination of fare subsidies, consuming external capital resources (i.e., asking industry outsiders with "excess capacity" (cars that weren't on the road 24/7) to wear down their own private vehicles), and having investors willing to tolerating large, upfront losses.
Somebody sells it on Alibaba, so therefore it must be a high quality thing that works properly?... I can see where you might have gone wrong here.
That is popular thinking right now but exactly the opposite of what makes economic sense.

Taxing income is counterproductive - an economy should reward, not penalize, the creation of value, whether that is individually or in groups/companies.

But taxing wealth is even worse - savings and investment are what generates higher rates of productivity.

By far the best thing to tax is consumption. But it will always be unpopular because it just seems unfair since people must consume to survive. But it's the only truly fair tax, since it actually makes taking from the world more expensive, rather than making contributing to the world less valuable/profitable.

You're willing to type a multiparagraph complaint about the article being too long winded and yet balk at the TL;DR. A little patience could help, crtl-f'ing for alias and skimming a little more to find out why it's needed might be enough.

I agree there's a lot of fluff in the article but complaining even more when someone goes out of their way to appease you is just too much.
I mean that is how steps work, no?

This is how R&D projects work. It’s extremely difficult to estimate timelines. Someone might have said the same thing of, for instance, image recognition - we kept getting “one step closer” for years and years. You could look at Fei-Fei Li making ImageNet in 2006 and go, “she didn’t really solve anything - they keep saying we’re one step closer to image recognition but this is just some new dataset.” Of course that actually was a very significant step, it was crucial groundwork for AlexNet.

There is absolutely no way to know whether getting to 100M in a spherical tokamak is really significant. Maybe this design is a dead end that will never see actual use. Maybe you will have a tiny one in your tea kettle by 2050.

What’s clear, though is that the pace of fusion research is really much faster than it was. That should be exciting to everyone except oil barons.
> advent of 3G internet with minimum viable bandwidth to be able to operate things like maps and GPS and payment processing in real time

I just realized that GPS was probably the reason: I remember my first time using Uber and it was the fact you could see the location of the car and yourself on the map in real-time, and so you could easily get to the car without the usual hassle of trying to locate and identify each other. That's just not possible with SMS (even if a phone did support GPS, I've never seen anything like "send coordinates by SMS" on a feature-phone, and even if the server could render a map it wouldn't be downloaded in real-time to be useful.

...though if it was a Java mobile app for each platform, that might have worked (even over GPRS), but considering how expensive mobile-data was at the time, hmm, yeah.
You need about three engineers to support a ~$500mm/year ecommerce site using managed kubernetes. Really you can do it with two, you need one that understands it, and another guy/apprentice in training who sort of understands it, in case the first guy gets hit by a bus. The third guy is just so the first and second guy don't trade off on-call and get burnt out immediately.

Ten or fifteen years ago you'd be looking at a team of at least five, probably 7-10 engineers, mininmum, to design, maintain and keep up to date a similar system. The company gets a tremendous value out of their three engineers at $150-250k/year, ea

But they make it look like "oh no, we still hate ads, and are totally independent, but this new $INSERT_OUR_SPONSOR_PRODUCT_HERE is so good, we can't help but advertising it anyway!". They are capitalizing on their accumulated image of non-commercial independent entity to push Disney products. I hope at least they got some really good money from it, because this is something you can only sell once, after this it's worthless.

Right, but (a) that only defers the problem to the future (centuries), which will have ever faster increasing delta-T, and (b) in the short-term you'd have to change all the existing infrastructure for astronomy and satellites which rely on the broadcast (by NTP or whatever) clock signals to be UTC. There's too much that could break; therefore there's a preference for "never change a running system". Of course, there's disagreement on how well the current system "runs". But it's not as simple as saying "oh, let's just drop leap seconds and everything will be fine".

Isn’t it wild that the Roman Empire lasted until the 1400s, only to finally fall to the Ottoman Empire?

But as the Empire fell, a large set of manuscripts were brought by the great Plethon to Cosimo d’Medici. Marsilio Ficino’s translation of Greek classics into Latin—like the complete works of Plato and the Hermetica—helped kindle the European Renaissance as we know it.

Please don't be needlessly upset. First, the "link" is referring to a comment in this thread, and the fuller "definition" in the linked comment is a URL to a long email. This is how we link to things to keep messages relatively short, and avoid walls of text.

Second, I don't know what's your experience dealing with community IRC. I've been doing this open source thing for ~13 years now. In real-life IRC, it's no more of a "faff" than a 2-second gentle reminder—that too only when someone repeats the egregious behaviour. (Even this "reminder", I let it slide most of the times.)

Also, don't worry, I have a high threshold for frustration (critical to stay sane in this industry). I'm happy to help (and learn from) people; that's one the joys of working with open source communities!
As much as agile is shouted from the rooftops for engineering and design, many businesses run in waterfall.

When I went through a divorce, my ex lied to the police and attempted to have me arrested several times. Those records were then used against me in civil court, even though I was never charged or arrested. Consequently, I will never take a background check at face value without first asking a lot of questions, because liars and bullies can easily ruin your life.

Our system of law coerces innocent people into pleading guilty, so many supposed “criminals” are, in actuality, victims of systemic government brutality.

No... when was your last vaccine if it was over 10 weeks you might be interested in reading this study from the New England Journal of Medicine.

Primary immunization with two doses of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or BNT162b2 vaccine provided limited protection against symptomatic disease caused by the omicron variant. A BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 booster after either the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or BNT162b2 primary course substantially increased protection, but that protection waned over time.

They could also do that with out DoH, they dont because it is not "trivial" and prone to all kinds of downsides.

DoH is the problem here, as it hides things from network operators making it harder to block ads, spam, and other items at the network level under the guise of privacy, when in reality DoH's actual goal is to further centralize the internet into approved gate keepers like CloudFlare and Google.

Do you mean regulating your own focus in face of ads?

Because it does not get better. As you begin to adapt to them, the ads change.

I've never heard that the character was "based on" Mario Segale, just named after him.

It is my dim recollection from reading Game Over by David Sheff many years ago that the incident when "Segale was said to have made an impression on his tenants when he allegedly stormed into Nintendo's offices in Tukwila, Wash., demanding they catch up on late rent" (as the NPR article writes) happened when they already had the Donkey Kong cabinets in their final form.

The article from Benj Edwards cited at the end of the NPR article says

> Legend has it that NOA President Minoru Arakawa noticed physical similarities between Donkey Kong’s short, dark-haired protagonist and the landlord. So the crew at NOA nicknamed the character Mario, and it stuck.

And that seams eminently plausible to me; that someone said to Shigeru Miyamoto (Mario's creator) "hey, they guys at the American office have started calling the character 'Mario' because he looks like our landlord who is named Mario" and Miyamoto ran with it.

You understand that all the things done in Java and .NET’s “enterprisy” way can be done is most languages right?

This is a programmer problem not a programming language one. Today you have to write less in C# than GoLang, to do the same tasks. Does that mean GoLang is enterprisey now, just because you have to write more?

GOTV efforts increase turnout without a doubt.

The biggest problem is that people don't even know who is running in a given election season(obviously does not apply to presidential given they get untold amounts of free advertising on TV). Turnout is abysmal for anything other than Presidential, (even then there is like what ~40% of people not participating?)

Because of this, text campaigns help spread the word. Even more effective is actually knocking on peoples doors and having a friendly conversation with them. COVID minimized that last election but I suspect future campaigns will go back to that in favor of mass texting.

> Compilers can provide __my_intmax_t which is decoupled from the standard intmax_t.

That either means breaking compatibility with existing sources (which have to be changed to use __my_intmax_t instead of intmax_t), or not conforming to the standard (if __my_intmax_t is now the one with the semantics of ISO C202x intmax_t). Compiler vendors want neither.
> As well as this on the ground report of a culture without IP restrictions:

The Chitubox people are the counterexample.

Because they exist in a situation without IP restrictions, they are trying to tie everything to subscription and add encryption to the harwdare in order to extract money.

And, I'm not entirely unsympathetic. My personal opinion is that you should be able to get paid for developing good software. However, without IP protections, people can just scarf up your work.

I see this from both the perspective of machine tools and electronic test equipment. Anything under $5K has shit customer support--deal with it. Anything above $25K generally has ok customer support. Anything in between gets crushed out of the market.
This is what i've seen from the "decentralized aws" cropping up: cryptocurrency is used to incentivize people to provide compute to the network, not for people to try to do the actual computing tasks they want on the cryptocurrency layer. So the long term with that is the centralized computing providers will have to provide better/cheaper services as this space grows and becomes more competitive (alot of this overlaps with some of "orcale" networks/protocols).
