Interestingly, it looks like Italy is the real culprit here. France can import enough but still exports significantly to Italy (directly and indirectly via Switzerland). If you look at Northern Italy's mix [1], the explanation is simple. They are so reliant on Gas, that importing at any price is cheaper. So all neighbors of Italy (especially France and Switzerland( suffer from high prices as well.

The only solution is to increase transmission capacity, but that's not easy with NIMBY challenges.

It's actually 0.3 micrometer particles that are most difficult to filter. Smaller than that, particles start to dance around and not move smoothly, because of Brownian motion, so they get stuck in the filtering fibers better.

Thanks for the kind word. It's not the first time I have been suggested to add some audio. I am not against the idea but I'd rather focus my time on creating content. Also I believe some browser extensions such as this one can do it https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rikaikun/jipdnfibh...

If you believe in "the massive conspiracy", you have to see it in everything, almost by definition.
Respectfully disagree.

A lot of people who looked into COVID were saying this doesn't add up. They were were framed to be in the 'small vocal minorities that say all sorts of crap'.

"the system" was all pointing and looking at each other. Big tech censored content that was deemed misinformation by the standards du jour.

"the system" failed what it said it would do, follow the science.
And the WHO has been a major part of that system.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that IND-CPA/CCA1/CCA2 aren't applicable. The fundamental error l33t2328 is making lies in mistaking the part of the pad used to encrypt a particular plaintext with the entire "key" which must remain constant. That makes zero sense in the context of a one-time pad, and as you said if the rules are misinterpreted that way it just makes the IND tests meaningless for OTP. Even for other algorithms it's typical to have some element which must be unique for each plaintext (e.g. a nonce or initialization vector) for the system's security properties to hold. For OTP that varying component just happens to be the specific region of the pad used for the encryption. The entire pad is the key. This perfectly satisfies the requirements of the formal definition, as the pad is shared in advance and does not vary, while the portion to be used for a given plaintext is chosen during encryption and does not need to be kept secret.

Jamie here, one of the Founders of Heron Data. After personally-spinning up many hundreds of classification and merchant enrichment models, we are launching a full self-signup and free trial flow. Anyone can now test out our product without a sales call. You get 2 weeks free use of the API and there is no credit card required. The only difference between the trial and production APIs is a slightly lower rate limit for the trial endpoints. Excited to see what you guys build!

What is Heron Data? We are a YC-backed software company who has felt the pain of working with bank data first hand. We have two product lines which tackle the things we thought most sucked when working with bank & card data:

1) Enrichment: add clean merchant names, icons, URLs, MCC codes, and other metadata to card and bank transactions. These transactions can be from a card you issue, a checking account you host, or pulled via an aggregator like Plaid / Yodlee / Finicity / Tink / TrueLayer / etc. PH launch for consumer applications: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heron-data-2 & SMB applications: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heron-data

2) Lending: recreate a businesses P&L + financial ratios from their bank data to better understand companies’ financial health. This is great for any Fintech leveraging bank data or issuing cards for SMBs. PH launch here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/heron-data-smb-insights

Of course. As someone who ticks most boxes on the privilege checklist I can witness first hand how much easier that has made my life compared to several of my friends and colleagues who ticked far fewer boxes. At the same time I've known people from even more privileged backgrounds than me completely fuck their lives.

So while coming from a 'privileged' background is important, and perhaps even necessary, in becoming the next Elon Musk, it is far from the determining factor.

I am talking about broad foundational results. Of course stuff like "we asked two teams of people to tug on a rope, the first had a prime number of members and had been told their pet dog died last night whereas the other followed a keto diet" don't really matter in the real world. If an analysis on 6 billion phone interactions tells us people don't meaningfully deal with more than 150 other humans then it's something you should actually take into consideration when designing social stuff
Our amazing global technology allows us to compare ourselves with almost every other human being. We spot someone who’s a better programmer, another who’s a better athlete, another with a bigger family… and soon we start to feel inadequate across a multitude of dimensions which all start to flatten into a single dimension of worthiness.

We have invented the total perspective vortex.
Every single event in the past decade has to be re-examined with the understanding that we have been under attack by Russia for the past decade. The WHO and the CDC were victims of their misinformation campaign, just like the rest of us.

Yes, there were issues with the pandemic rollout that need to be prevented from happening in the future, without doubt. But trying to find blame for either organization, which have been hammered by a massive, organized and relentless campaign of misinformation is a waste of time. They were being attacked daily by both Russian bots and, by extension their representatives here in the US, the Republicans. Of course they made mistakes.

If the U.S. hadn't been destabilized by Russia, there would have been a much more clear headed response. Placing any blame on the CDC or the WHO has no purpose. It was Russia.

(We need to pardon the Jan 6th insurrectionists and start a nationwide effort to educate the people about how badly they have been deceived and then we need to do whatever possible to ensure regime change in Russia.)
> Many people don't understand the scientific method or that science is not about certainty but about constantly learning and adjusting.

This is the Fauci argument. It doesn't work.

Aside from being incredibly Condescending to assume the masses are too stupid to handle the truth...

All it does is open you up to criticism from people that understand basic logic.

Those criticisms then spread between these "many people".

On the other hand, if you told the truth up front, you might have "many people" misunderstand something, but you have the upside of the many other people being able to argue why they're wrong over the following months. Eventually truth and facts prevail.

You maintain credibility with people that do understand science, and you get eventual credibility from those who misunderstand.

Sure some will never change but you were going to instantly lose credibility to them either way.
> Isn't leaking the length pretty harmless?

Whether this is harmless or not is up to a debate. But it is a clear violation of the "information-theoretic security" property that (nearly) every textbook about cryptography mentions or proves for OTP.

Just to be clear: these proofs are correct, they just do not work when OTP is applied to a countable set of secrets - which is actually the situation that "everybody" is interested in.

Wolfram software is awesome! It beats any other software and it's why they charge for it. It's worth it. Education about computers, science and math made easier to manipulate. Fact based results.

If you google something you get jumbled results. Wolfram either you get it right with some facts back at your query. Or you get nil. You can be confident that it's a fact staring at you. You can cross reference and check it too! that's something google can't do.

Expand your world, try out Wolfram.

Wolfram behooves truth it seems people are afraid of the truth. Hence the comments here.

Being able to do your own research and learn programming. I haven't seen a better documentation for software compared to Wolfram's.

He's beyond time in the future. Wolfram's software was used on the ISS to do some real world calculations to make a course correction. It helped me understand programming and computers. I look forward to wolfram adventures.

Computer literacy can be understood and learned using Wolfram.
Aluminum is reduced through electrolysis. I think he means that method can be used for iron which means you don't have to use electrolysis on hydrogen.

> Finding and prosecuting the people who make real CP is difficult enough already.

let's assume that AI generated CP should be illegal. Does it mean that possession of model that is able to generate such content should also be illegal? If not, then it's easy to just generate content on the fly and do not store anything illegal. But when we make model illegal, then how do you enforce that? Models are versatile enough to generate a lot of different content, how do you decide if ability to generate illegal content is just a byproduct or purpose of that model?
The web/media representation of Stephen Wolfram somehow seems (I never had a chance to know him personally so I have no idea if he even creates such an impression, let alone actually does) like he has a "huge ego". Whenever someone produces such an impression (which can often be an unfortunate coincidence, I wouldn't expect popular ideas about people to be reliably related to their actual characters), "egos" of all the other people ignite in trying to demonstrate they are "more huge". All the reason and meaningful discussion is lost at this point, no matter how clever and educated the people involved are and what they actually achieved/contributed.

By the way I wish more people would create research institutes so there would be more free competition and less bureaucracy in research. There are many talented people who could do some useful/interesting research but ~80% of them probably won't manage with all the obstacles on the path to actual research (including the obstacles which effectively filter subjects and other parameters of research to what's trending in Nature).
With the correct initial state, any Turing complete cellular automata (like CGoL) can model any computable system. We can computationally model prevailing quantum models (albeit incredibly slowly), so an unbounded CGoL field would fit the criteria.

If you want a "true and tested" and somewhat idiot-proof method.

1. Work hard, save money, and purchase your first rental unit in city with solid real-estate growth market. Find a bank / lender that accepts least amount of down payment. Get tenants ASAP.

2. Leverage that rental unit to buy your second unit. Banks are MUCH more forgiving on down payment, if they have collateral, and know you're generating income.

3. Repeat these steps until you have a nice portfolio of 5-10 units.

The real money here is not the income generated from rent, but rather the increase in property value. The more value you have = the more risk banks are willing to take, and lend you more money.

Depending on what country you live in, you might have to create a LLC (or equivalent) for each property. This shields you personally from losses, and gaps the properties from each other. Also, depending on country, the lending rules/laws can be more lenient on companies, versus people. Of course, there are more costs involved, there are trade-offs.

This is a strategy I've seen pretty much in every city with positive RE growth. People are making money hand over fist, starting from scratch - mainly due to very low lending rates, combined with explosive markets.

I know one guy that did just this, while mainly working as a developer. If he sold his portfolio today, he could retire - even though his debt ratio is completely out of whack.

> Professional armies have a basic unit of about 150 men

False. There are a lot of units, one can certainly pick some of them of about 150 size. But there's no reason to call it "basic".

Smallest unit is 1 person. Smallest group you can find is 2 person (e.g. operators of an ATGM).
I just spent a year at a health tech startup where the primary prospects and customers were tier 1 hospitals.

Never, ever, ever in my life have I seen so much ego paired with such little decision making authority.

Pair that with an incredible lack of communication across each hospital group, jaded IT workers who see innovation as a threat to their jobs, and a sales cycle that can sit around 12 months on average, and voila: I present to you hell on earth.

This is still somehow ignoring how each hospital asks for insane amounts of personal customization on the product, development of features that aren't even on your roadmap, and accounting departments that consistently choose to ignore invoices.

Never again.

The one thing that unites mathematicians throughout history and field is the pursuit of beauty. And by some happenstance the most beautiful theories are often found to be useful in the real world. Human beings are embedded and embodied in this admittedly beautiful fractally complex existence. Somehow it doesn't seem surprising for us to be attracted to patterns that can manifest in our reality.

If anything, finite automata are beautiful.
David Deutsch’s Constructor Theory
Gay rights may not have explicitly persued by democracies of old. But modern democratic values implies at the very least: freedom of expression equality under law and other values which may imply a different attitude regarding what gays can and can't do.
Gays have been opressed for a long time. There's some momentum for this type of a sociatal attitudes and norms. So granted democracies have changed and evolved but the idea of gay rights is not an antithesis for democracy.

So in a society that sees gays as people, it's not a large leap to consider gay rights as part of a evolving definition of democracy.
Same as all western "democracies" took time to let women rights be a thing. Will you argue that a contemporary democracy which doesn't give women a right to vote is a democracy?
If not, then how is gay rights different?

Communication Breakdown: How Russia's Invasion of Ukraine Bogged Down
We do have ways of solving many classes of complex, non-linear functions. There are whole fields of math devoted to this. Pure math is full of non-linearity.

However in the realm of applied math, linear functions rather uniquely have a set of standard algorithms which work on all classes of linear functions, which make them very, very easy to work with. And any non-linear function can be approximated to whatever level of detail you want just by adding more (linear) parameters. You can try solving your non-linear function slightly more exactly... but why bother?

It's like saying "why don't we have other models of computation besides a Turing machine?" to which the answer is: "we do. but every computation can be represented as a Turing machine, so why bother?"
