That's the point I was trying to get across. The automobile created fostered an individualistic culture related to transport that is very hard for people to give up. Most cities still have bus routes, but people generally don't want to use them if they can use a car instead.

And yet the vibe persists! Presumably it's due to low-level patterns you subconsciously pick up on, but much of the much-discussed physicist-intuition comes from knowing how the universe "likes" do do things. There's a similar thing in math, with many of the greats having just a few tricks they used over and over to great effect in any number of fields. I guess we're used to dealing with people, so the pattern is expressed as a preference (which does double duty encoding that it's not an absolute law).
You barely need crypto. Ticket authentication would be enough.
> It is a little bit of both influencing each other, but the system in London is definitely the killer app

I’m super unconvinced this is true. I know many “oligarchs” living in London, most of them do not keep their money in the UK.

I think the people writing about London from a tax haven/money laundering perspective tend to have rather little insight into the quality of life aspect. It’s easy for them to mistakenly assume that the system is the main draw, but the reality on the ground seems rather different.

For very rich people that want to live in a city, London is absolutely the #1 destination.
Robert X Cringely - Accidental Empires. After reading this I knew what I want, and actually joined a startup a few years later (only to see it fail in the 2000 dotcom crash).
We’ll have to agree to disagree. Personally I think the key is to not use the word “bullshit” unless you’re already on good terms with someone. But you can call BS without using that word, if you’re certain your audience is easily offended.

Not caring if you offend someone? That’s also quite rude!
Even then, the amount of energy required to accelerate the CO2 to escape velocity will still result in more CO2 being created.
Yeah, but I don't need any of that swiping most of the time, nor do I wish to install a tiling window manager to do the tiling automatically for me all the time, as I only need the tiling sometimes and I prefer to do the tiling myself.

I just want my OS to give me the option, out of the box, to quickly tile on demand 2 to 4 windows on the same screen in a sane layout that I can choose that's easily resizable to my current needs. That's it.

Kind of like this:

> there's no way to keep me from using someone else's model

Indeed it seems to me desirable that I could use someone else's model. The obvious solution to spoofing identity is "press a button to view metadata of what I'm looking at"; the apparent visual world is hardly the only layer of reality we need to experience in VR.
i always thought 'underpopulation' was more of a demand side problem?
Eh, it's extremely unlikely that dogs have developed any totally new types of emotions during the domestication process. More like they were easy and useful to domesticate because as intelligent, mammalian, social pack predators, their ancestors were already a good fit for humans, mentally.
I would have really identified with that when I was in the thick of it. It felt like the second I moved, I lost the only thing I had in common with my friends. It felt like a constant loneliness march, where strangers would become friends and then go right back to being strangers.

I’m really lucky that I had a computer, access to lots of books and really good parents (who are both interesting people). I could have easily taken an entirely different path and it would have ended very badly.
Feels like it misses the point. The "openness" of the web meant that anyone that could use a text editor could have a website and everybody could access it (and most of it worked perfectly if users accessed it asynchronously). The barriers to having your own coherent shared 3D experience a lot higher (and the entities that do it well aren't particularly interested in opening it up to everybody else)

And of course the blockchain still feels like a solution in search of a problem. A blockchain isn't a solution to the problem of "anyone can design their avatar to look like anything they want" because the blockchain isn't a design restriction, and if you've got entities deciding that only the owner of a particular token can have a particular style of costume, that looks quite a lot like centralisation.
I gave up when I saw new packet headers which means you might not be able to use existing ASICs.
Yeah I think SyncE is what telecom RANs use to get within 5g reqs on timing. White Rabbit operates like 1588 + SyncE + a compensation model for the fiber link. It's pretty slick.

It does need L2-L1 coordination but the ethernet MAC usually has no idea of what's happening on the L1 (it speaks "medium independent interface" or *MII). The CERN people warn against using Base-T since the PHY needs to do pretty complex signal processing which would likely destroy the syntonization.

They then use basic fiber links, but 100g, 400g+ have a gearbox and DSP and FEC in the way.
I'm not aware of anybody who wants the game to be made easier with no option to maintain its difficulty. People are generally asking for optional difficulty settings.
> Yes - shared data can be modified in between events on the event loop.

I think the problem is more that data can be modified between an event occurring and the handlers for that very event being called.

I think we often conflate the time an event occurs with the time the event's handler is executed - when in reality, there can be an arbitrary, nontrivial delay between them due to queuing.

This means that any state invariants that an event might establish can already be long broken by the time your handler is called.

E.g., suppose you write database code in NodeJS and query an external SQL database. Your NodeJS process is single-threaded, uses only a single database connection and there is no other process interacting with the database either. Then the following code might seem safe:

let flaggedThings = await db.query("SELECT * FROM things WHERE flag = true");
process(flaggedThings) // assume each thing has the flag set to true

However, it's not. After the DB query returned, there will be some internal call to Promise.resolve() which will advance the script past the await. However, the event of the DB query returning will not immediately cause this call - it will only cause a task for the call to be added to the event queue. But at the time the event loop dequeues and executes the task, other tasks, which were dequeued earlier, might already have changed the DB state.

Therefore, the resultset may already be stale at the moment the script continues after the await.
I remember a class I had where we were shown a methods for exact PC arithmetic with integers, rationals (e.g., 1/2) and algebraic numbers (e.g., sqrt(2)). Only thing it couldn't deal with were transcendental numbers (e.g., pi)

I think it worked by representing the numbers by integer matrices, all operations were then matrix operations. Unfortunately, the matrices were gaining dimension when new algebraic numbers got involved, so it probably wasn't useful for anything :-).

Anyway, it it blew me away anyway at the time, one of the few things that sticked with me from school.
How are you more familiar with these dogs than the owners, who probably spends dozens of hours per week with them?

Is it just because you believe something about dogs in general?
Feel the same way. There are some uninspiring apps but they can't update all apps all the time. 2 things matter: 1) they are not being decprecated or ignored. Thats for google to do. and 2) when they do finally get a non-incremental update, they usually are much better. Meaning, they batched together a bunch of things that were true problems and fixed them in a smart/clever way.
“Hi Ativzzz, I’m Greg. I just started here a couple of days ago. I’m looking forward to getting to know you.”

I genuinely look forward to getting to know everyone I work with and so just leading with my name, why they should care and the truth usually works best for me.

As I start figuring stuff out, I’ll build relationships, help and ask for help. But early on, I just like to be basic old me.
Can you elaborate a little bit why it would be important? I get the appeal, of course, but having spent lots of time in Rust the past few years, it feels like polymorphism/traits cover that hole quite well, and will get better once/if GATs get fully implemented (different implementations for different enum variants).

Maybe I'm too biased by the current state, how do you think optional arguments would make it better?
> The majority of the charging you do will be at your home

I'm worried someone will stumble upon the 50 meters of charging cable I have to hang from the third floor, along the pedestrian way, towards the car - in case I'm lucky to get a parking space just in front of the condo.
>> Numerically stable algorithms exist for such problems, but these occasionally fail leaving us to brute force the calculation with higher precision to minimize floating point rounding errors.

Do algorithm authors really implement two code paths?

One that uses a cost function iterative algorithm to solve the matrix (this is what everybody does), and a second algorithm using the brute force approach the author showed (known not to work).
It's not the number of people, it's how they live. Big houses, big cars, commute.

> it's a good thing that the world's population will shrink

Not if it happens too fast. It may very well be unstoppable. In countries like South Korea every couple has one child these days. So its population is going 1/2. If they want to correct that and return to previous level, every couple formed among those children would have to bear 4 children.

They won't.
If it's anything like my laptop, that's because the Linux nvidia driver doesn't downclock as much as it can on Windows. I believe that isn't much of an issue on Asahi because until the drivers are up and running, it just keeps the GPU powered off (though now I can't find where I saw that, so take it with a grain of salt)
This is relative to the density of where you are playing. The default radius out in rural areas doesn't have enough roads, for example. A customizable radius or geofence sounds appealing.
BGP doesn't have very high performance requirements. It does not handle any internet traffic. All it does is configure the kernel routing tables. Even if there's some crazy 1 second GC pause it will not greatly affect the performance of the router.
I see this is a problem, but how many companies really need this? In my limited experience I have only seen clock sync issues at scale and simple NTP/Chrony setup solves majority of the problems, unless you're in HFT domain where PTP is needed. Nowadays, many of those atscale systems are getting SaaSified where the companies using them dont have to directly deal with such issues. What am I missing here? Is there really a big market for this?
Shallow (partial) cycles are better for longevity (measured as permanent capacity loss over time).

The effect is "better than linear;" see Table 2.

https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-808-how-to-prolong-...

In general, li-ion has the properties you want: no "memory," deep discharge OK, partial charge OK.

The one it lacks is "shelf life:" they don't like long-term storage at full charge. So they ship at 3.7 volts instead of the "full" 4.2V state. (This is the old wisdom of not keeping your laptop on a charger.)

Lawn tools, for example, might have a smart charger that draws them down after a month without use.

I imagine it's upsetting to need your flashlight, vehicle, etc., and it's only at 50-70% capacity.
It amazes me how long "the new thing has ruined the children" has been a trope.

You manage to combine two generations of it. Television started ruining children when the Boomers were growing up. The Millennials were ruined by the early internet. And now I hear the Zoomers are being ruined by TikTok. (Presumably Gen X was ruined by cable TV, which you left out.)

But that's just recently. The earliest iteration of this moral panic that I know of involved novels: https://www.economist.com/1843/2020/01/20/an-18th-century-mo...

That's right, the kids have been ruined since before America existed! Truly, it's amazing this steady worsening of the youth has not destroyed life as we know it.
We have a 2 year old lab that constantly digs up any plants we put in the garden. My wife has come up with lots of reasons for this behaviour, but none of her solutions have made any difference. I suspect the dog enjoys digging up plants and doesn't understand that we'd prefer she didn't. In short, from my limited experience, I think you're right.
I don't think BGP requires real-time. Increasing throughput via multithreading is probably much more impactful (for large deployments) and otherwise it doesn't matter.
Tarski's Axioms
Regular PTP is old hat as you say. ~5ns though I thought needs some real thought, and picosecond sync needs a combo of PTP + SyncE + link compensation, which is now the "high accuracy" profile.

It's all fairly simple in the end if the hw has the tools but good luck buying SyncE or 1588 without $$$.
I’ve not read Atomic habits, but keep hearing it recommended. If it is appropriate for me to ask, how do you distinguish the motivation derived from the book and that from 3 days in hospital with extremely high blood pressure? I live with a fear of hypertension because of genetics. My diet and exercise (what I can control) is at front of mind and so far so good, but my high level of motivation is driven by knowing where the disease road can lead. Not intending to diminish the book but just curious about how you balance the contribution of those two in your mind.
Very cool. I know nothing about these types of actuators but you're right that they seem pretty robust. When I heard actuators I was thinking of the common types that definitely don't last forever :)

Unrelated: reaction wheel assemblies (used for attitude control) typically would have one extra wheel as a "spare." Redundancy is important enough on spacecraft you expect it wherever it is practicable. I used to work in aerospace - spent enough time coding spacecraft simulation tools that I had to develop at least a working familiarity with how some of the common satellite bus systems are supposed to work :)
Great! Not yet, but I am looking into it. A lot of the feedback has been around the difficulty and the radius. So I might add difficulty modes and or a way to change the radius.
Not that I know of but I don't see anything precluding it.

Like others have said, most of the "gas station" is at your residence and is probably via a dumb charger.

Do you think social media influencers are what drives the selection of gas stoves? That...is a very new take I've never heard.

Most people prefer gas stoves because they are better for cooking than electric. They are generally considered better for cooking because they burn hotter than electric. It's been a long time since I've worked in food service, but I can't remember a single kitchen using electric stoves to good with and for good reason. This was when gas was much more expensive than it is now and I doubt the natural gas lobby has much influence on those choices.

Nobody uses the x87 instructions any more, they've been superseded by MMX/SSE/SSE2 which can't do 80-bit operations. And it's not clear whether 80 bits would be enough of an improvement over 64 to fix the problem.

I'd say this rather signals the opposite. Three of the nation's top heroes are blatantly violating the new totalitarian anti-protest laws and Putin is completely impotent to do anything about it. Russia doesn't have a secret space police.
I kept getting "Alley" for a city with lots of alleys (DC), which was very frustrating.
It's related since there's a very strong argument you (and Americans in general) aren't paying enough taxes and some things should be outright banned (single family homes on 75% of built land, in a country with an ever-growing population and a housing affordability crises and some of the highest per capita greenhouse gas emissions; maybe that percentage should be 50% or 33%)).

But that's political suicide to say out loud as a politician.

As a dog owner, I agree with the OP.

Humans tend to anthropomorphize the heck out of virtually all of their pets. The more emotional the bond, the higher the expected rate of anthropomorphization will be.

Anthropomorphize - verb

Attribute human characteristics or behaviors to an animal, god, or even an object.

Every time I find handoff or shared clipboard not working it’s been because my devices are on different Wi-Fi networks.

For me that has been when SSIDs foo and foo-5 are both available (home, vacation house, work), so I’d tell my Mac (which tells my other devices) to try both.

Once I stopped doing this these features became rock solid. Note that editing your WiFi list (removing obsolete ones and ordering the search list) will speed up connecting to WiFi on all your devices.

Exactly this! I would also argue that an all digital communication channel leads to better (more objective) decisions simply because the communication channel is not “contaminated” with useless body language , posturing , height and weight differences , race difference and variety of things that introduces biases.
If you're looking for a sports analogy, I think it's sort of like "change in total seconds it takes the players to run the 100-yard dash". Not directly tied to success, and in some sense a pretty arbitrary measure, but a number that's nonetheless concerning to see get worse.

I agree IQ is a pretty bad measure. And if you would like to go back and redo this study with a better one, I'm sure we (and this study's authors) would be grateful for the result. But since it's the measure we have, I'd say it's better than nothing, and this factoid is a good way to spark interest in the scale of the phenomenon.

my dog exhibits insecurity (as discussed in the article) mostly in relation to me, as well as some strangers who she deems to be sketchy in some way. the first months were spent working through severe anxiety (and cleaning up overnight fear diarrhea) while slowly building trust at home. she was hyper-sensitive to my moods and movements, and would hyperventilate if she thought i was even slightly upset with her. this is why i think she was probably abused by her previous caretaker(s).

thankfully, she's gotten much better, and now enjoys a mostly carefree and social dog life, though she's still vigilant and standoffish at times with both humans and other dogs. i can definitely see parallels to human behaviors, and even use techniques you might use with people to build up her confidence (as well as curb unwanted behavior). she's been great overall, and i wouldn't trade her for the world.
This reminded me of Posits[1] and Unums[2]. I dabbled with my own implementation some years ago, but nothing serious.

Yeah there are a few number systems that can do this kind of thing, ranging from rational implementations where the numerator and denominator are stored, all the way to the computable reals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computable_number), which can handle even trancendentals exactly! Fun fact, the built-in calculator on android actually uses the computable reals (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3385412.3386037), so you can do any calculation on it, and then ask for any number of digits (keep scrolling the result), and it will always be correct. The only downside is that they're a little too slow to use in a lot of performance-sensitive numerical applications.
