The abstract doesn't appear to me to say anything about violating known physical law.

They are claiming it all works as theory predicts, I think.

What is missing for me is an explanation why this is in fact interesting to a layperson.

"At room temperature, micron-sized sheets of freestanding graphene are in constant motion, even in the presence of an applied bias voltage. We quantify the out-of-plane movement by collecting the displacement current using a nearby small-area metal electrode and present an Ito-Langevin model for the motion coupled to a circuit containing diodes. Numerical simulations show that the system reaches thermal equilibrium and the average rates of heat and work provided by stochastic thermodynamics tend quickly to zero. However, there is power dissipated by the load resistor, and its time average is exactly equal to the power supplied by the thermal bath."

I guess it sounds like they are saying the graphene is all wibbly-wobbly at room temperature, and applying a kind of damping mechanism temporarily produces power. Very temporarily.

I'm not quite sure why this should or should not be possible. If they say it's initially not at equilibrium though, that means they aren't suggesting new physics, right?
PHP comes from a time where bad code was less frowned upon, in general. This sort of thing was more normal back then.

In particular, this exact case you're talking about is being voted on right now, to promote it to an error instead in PHP 9.0: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/undefined_variable_error_promotion

It's looking like the vote will pass (as of writing, 33 to 8 ~= 80%, and 67% is needed).

Trash epistemology is the norm. But it would be nice at the very least to normalize evidence-based knowledge as the default instead of religious mythology. Just because the ideologies are enemies, doesn't mean one of them isn't significantly less wrong than the other.
Ask HN: Looking for a Tech Talk from Gov.uk
Many years ago, I remember watching a tech talk from Gov.uk about how they design their websites. The general thrust of this talk was that, as a government service they had to be accessible to literally everyone in the UK. This included not just typical accessibility work, but also things like:

- They had to support positively ancient browsers like IE6 far longer than the rest of the internet, because some people had no choice of computing device, and the government had to serve them anyway.

- The people looking for information on Gov.uk usually aren't at their best or sharpest: they're usually stressed because they're in some kind of legal or health issue they're desperately looking to resolve, and the site had to accommodate for that with clear and understandable navigation.

- They ran user studies on usability and found that fancy date pickers tended to confuse people, and that it was far easier to just let people type dates with their keyboard. I think there were some other design notes in this vein throughout the talk.

Basically the whole thing was contrasting their approach with the typical, flashy, "cutting-edge" web development of the time. It ended (naturally) with a call for developers to apply to work there.

Try as I might I haven't been able to find this talk again. Does anyone know what this talk might be or where I might be able to find it?

IEEE double-precision floating-point numbers can exactly represent 53-bit integers and hence they are suitable for most integer related operations (ignoring bitwise operations).

For bitwise operations, JavaScript will first convert the number to a 32-bit two's complement signed integer.

Nope. Not reproduced since then. One of these classic "hey I've discovered an effect that is not properly isolated and contradicts brownian motion. Everything we know is probably wrong, let's publish about it rather than try to understand what we screwed up" moments.

by admitting it's airborne I suspect it is a major upheaval on scope due to responsibilities of employers providing a safe working space.. hence the reluctance. it's too bad, we have careerest in every discipline, and somehow people in tenured positions didn't have the projection they needed to overcome all the noise.
Apologies! I misread your comment - which I'm not sure how, upon re-reading and finding it pretty clear.
By all means be a creationist, that's free choice. But this argument "why" is frankly specious. "I don't trust the science" is a very poor basis to rationalise a choice grounded in belief.

She's a creationist because fundamentally, she's a deist. Her underlying belief in purposeful existence grounds in the existence of a god, and a divine purpose.

I'm an evolutionist for exactly the inverse reasons. I am not a deist, I see no evidence of a divine purpose, I think statistics and mechanistic evidence is all around us for self-assembly, the rest is "fit for purpose" selective advantage and deep time.
If you look at how the F-15 came to be, NASA did a lot of the initial aerodynamic work. Engine wise, there were multiple suppliers (although not initially). No fly off.

For F-16 and F-22 each there were two different manufacturers with different prototypes. Both had also multiple companies co-operating. Many companies have merged since.

There are some hard questions. Sometimes groundbreaking technology is developed in a company and other designs become obsolete quickly. This happened with stealth. How do you deal with this?

A few things.

1. Money already has a definition, a generally recognized medium of exchange. Gold and bitcoin are mediums of exchange, but they are not (yet, in bitcoin's case) generally recognized.

2. How do you define the market cap of dollars?

3. Market cap is a really poor measure of just about anything.

4. The concept you're referring to is related to the velocity of money[1].

That's not quite right. In Europe three phase wiring is delivered via a 5 core wire: 3 phases, neutral and earth (ground). You can take any phase wire, and the voltage between that and neutral will be 230V. For higher power devices, the voltage between any two phases will be 400V.

My induction hob can be connected to 1 phase or 3 phase power, there's a dip switch on the back to switch it over. I'd imagine inside it changes the voltage and frequency to something completely different depending on what power level you set the burner to, so the actual supply voltage isn't that important.
I grew up in Taiwan on the pacific rim of fire (think earthquakes) as result buildings are ugly and concrete most of the time. And it is noise.

The bread I can buy to satisfy hunger is certainly not a delusion. Currency is an abstraction for negotiating and prioritizing satisfaction of needs. Yes, it's very blurry, but delusion seems to be quite a stretch if you ask me. Of course, many hold this view these days because we can print money et cetera, but there are still fundamentals at play such as needs, wants, resources, surplus, production, means of production, the harvest, and so forth. These are not delusional things, these are non-negotiable aspects of any civilization and any human collective as an inextricable part of the surrounding environment and availability of and access to resources.

Without an economic model which monetises saving water into the aquifer higher than selling water for direct consumption, and an associated public-interest governance model with directing force, this is one of those "so simple, so hard" things.

Australia has a comparable problem. The Great Artesian Basin is being drained by morally, and sometimes financially corrupted process which vests in inter-state rivaly, "I want to" farm-gate logic, and "Its muh right" views of water falling on the land. An attempt to construct a 4 state agreement to manage flows has failed because of acts of bastardry by one state (NSW) against the down stream wishes of two others (Vic, SA) and acts of indifference by a fourth state (qld) where much of the headwater springs from.

As a species, we're incapable of making decisions which matter. I despair, or wonder if tyrants would do better right now.
I don't know about Oracle, and my IBM Cloud (fomerly SoftLayer) knowledge is a few years out of date now, but IBM cloud has (or had) bare metal servers available by the hour. You've got to pick from a limited menu, so no custom ram size or disk selection like on monthly servers though.
Honestly, what are people's thoughts on automatic updates being built into the OS? They can be good for patching security vulnerabilities, but automatic updates are also incredibly unpopular (see Windows).

I personally wouldn't want an OS that updates according to the developers wishes, with no control on my end. It reeks too much of corporate control, from simple things like changing UI or functionality to much bigger things like removing features because they are no longer in the interest of the company.

"There's a genre of articles that link the CIA to things and makes a big deal about it, like the most sinister imperialist forces in the US government are necessarily controlling it. So it seems to me that the idea of the source of something tainting it is universal."

The book that got me into neuroscience was Phantoms in the Brain by V. S Ramachandran and Sandra Blakeslee. A 22-year old book that wowed 20-year-old me. Principles of Neural Design by Peter Sterling and Simon Laughlin is a more recent book. It is brilliant, beautifully written and probably should be required reading for anyone looking to do graduate studies in neuroscience. In a field inundated with data and siloes and jargon, it bats for a focus on jargon-free understanding of principles that can explain much of the complexity. It was hugely inspirational for us when doing our own book (plug alert!).

I hope that Journey of the Mind: How Thinking Emerged from Chaos, a book I co-authored, a book which drew inspiration from these two books, is able to do the same for many looking to study neuroscience and AI now.

I'd be concerned about the non-zero number of PHP CLI apps that exist in the wild, though.
My house has two iMacs in it. One is running the latest Mac OS on it because it can. The other has Manjaro Linux on it because it is too old to run the latest OS and I kept running little roadblocks because of that ( or big ones like current apps not being compatible ).

I can use either one but I find the older hardware with Manjaro on it more productive for me. I do a bit of .NET dev and Docker / Distrobox stuff but honestly it is mostly office work ( Zoom, MS Teams, presentations, spreadsheets, email, Slack, and the web / cloud ). All the software I use is totally up to date though and, as above, I just run into fewer “speed bumps” on Linux.

To be fair, that suits my wife just fine. She is in Marketing and teaches as a prof. She definitely prefers the Mac experience the newer iMac brings. Then again, she asks me to help her with stuff quite often. So she is certainly running into her share of “speed bumps” too.

Sure, but good luck getting anyone to see it without promoting it on established platforms (either by paying and/or getting "influencers" to push you)

And then, if you do get an audience but cross an invisible trip wire, expect your ISP/host provider to drop you.

And if you really manage to persist, the DNS police can finally de-platform you for reals (See for ex. sci-hub).

I'm no fan of Russia Today as a source of information, but I do believe people should have the right to speak and be heard. The problem today is there is so much utter shit on the webs that we each have a moral obligation to try to think objectively about our media consumption and stop lazily and addictively searching for data that confirms our biases and gives us a shot of outrage (like coffee) to start the day.
Web apps update every time you open them, so it seems we won’t be able to escape this in the long run.
Ah, nice. Thanks for spotting that.

I do wonder what kind of limitations the author ran into with OpenSCAD, and why they decided building a replacement code-CAD program was the best way to go.

More power to them, I guess - it'll be cool to see what comes out of this.
Likely they don't kill them because they have customers and have contracts stating support for X years.

Not sure why people are surprised, its enterprise software. Look at SAP, they "kill" their ERP every few years for end-of-life and upgrades. I don't blame them, customers don't sign perpetual deals and they expect to sign a new ones every 5-7 years for whatever the new flavor is. It's different for free products because there is no explicit end of life and it surprises people.
I live in Germany and I get a lot of spam calls and spam SMS. It's always in waves. Some days I stop answering calls if I don't recognise the number, because its one of these days where Interpol has informwd me already three times that my identity was stolen and I have to give them all my details to fix this ..... They're very patient at Interpol, I keep hanging up on them and they never give up.
On the demand side there is a spike basically from low interest rates plus everyone trying to move into a house over the past couple years. But that’s starting to chill out as the house prices got pretty prohibitive and interest rates are looking to climb. Plus there’s the speculative market which responded to rising prices by buying/raising the price, and will at some point, maybe right now, swoop back down in line as signs point to a downturn and speculators bail.

You’re right though that it’s hard to expand the throughput of the supply side since even doubling, say, the number of planted trees won’t pay off for at least 20 years in the case of fast growing trees like poplar, and longer for harder woods.

> I agree Putin is a tyrant, but two tyrants don't make a democracy. I’d argue the US is no better at this point. Try questioning vaccines, 2020 election, Hunter Bidens laptop, protest at a school board, etc.

The absurdity of this when people are being arrested in Russia for protesting with blank signs. Go down to your local town hall with a sign about Hunter Biden's laptop giving you a vaccine to change your vote in the 2020 election, no goons will show up.
No, the point is that despite his superintelligence, he's ultimately selfish - what he obsesses over is achieving ever higher organization of knowledge and its implications, rather then wanting or trying to apply his discoveries practically to help other - i.e. he comes up with how to build an anti-gravity device with present day technology, but doesn't think that's very interesting because now discovered he knows it will work and its implementation wouldn't contribute to his greater understanding and organization of knowledge.

The opposition who takes him down is the opposite: after concluding how to build efficient fusion generators, his premise is further thought is not needed until the solution has been implemented - and his plan is to set out to apply his conclusions to uplifting the world.

Of course the opposition isn't "good" per se - he's still going to use the ability to out-think everyone to accomplish some measure of enslavement, but the plan at least is to try and improve the world for all humankind.

In a practical sense to the rest of us of course, the future reality was going to be alien cognizances subjugating the world in one way or another.

I do not believe they meant only that it was more customizable. I understand the feeling that your computer works for Apple instead of working for you. I think that is what he meant by Linux feeling like “my machine” and the Mac feeling like “Apple’s home”. I feel the same.
