>Black holes themselves are, obviously, impossible to image.

Unless they produce Hawking radiation. Then by definition they are possible to image. In the original article she mentions that temperature of known black holes is lower than CBR, meaning that they are too cold to be seen agains background of cosmic background radiation.

I personally think that they produce no radiation and do not evaporate, but this is just unscientific philosophical opinion.
I don't think it is useful here (on HN) to point out the low end. That just gets tedious and I think comes across as tedious. The pertinent fact is that m:f ratio increases at the top, and variance is just the most irrefutable factor that breaks apart any presumption that the distributions should be identical.

Also, I'm not trying to pretend that's the only difference between men and women. Men sleep 20 minutes less than women. Is that "inherent superiority"? No, but it's an advantage. Or maybe men undersleep and it's a disadvantage.
How do you know you didn't get them? They are silent. Also, I don't think that 'not getting them' is an option other then with video drivers. The whole idea is that security updates should be pushed immediately to all devices and not require user action. You get them even if you don't want them.
Galileo observed the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter, which provided strong evidence that contradicted geocentric theories.
The applications in particular are the piece I find most enjoyable about this publication. The robot path distance maximization, space-filling, and auto-earbud-untangler are pretty neat.
I'm not sure, but I get the feeling that independent ISPs are having a bit of a resurgence, so maybe you'll be lucky and someone will look to serve your area. Or you can try it yourself. :)

I imagine it's easier now than it used to be to find some areas with good beauty and above ground infra (poles) that have space, and make a business plan and point at others that are doing it successfully as justification.

Or maybe we'll be there in a few years. At the rate we want to expand it's not impossible. :)
It’s not an appeal to recency. I am just saying that appeal to the authority of Socrates is unwarranted. Not to mention interpretive arguments about Plato’s writings which makes the whole reference even more needless.

I didn’t imply any dichotomy between physical and non-physical. Not sure what you are talking about. Identifying common features of foobars is simply not a good endeavor no matter whether they are physical or abstract.

Another example as we have talked about bees. Imagine that you have been studying bees. You come up with an ad boc description without any coherent explanation of these features. Some of bees bite you, some of them only sting you, some make honey, some don’t, some are big, some are small. Their features are contradictory, some have most of them, some have only few of them. And all of that looks weird until you realize that you’ve been confusing bees, wasps, hornets and whatnot. Our modern understanding of science can help us distinguish those things to the point of tracing their ancestry by analyzing their DNA. The understanding of ur-fascism by Umberto Eco rather looks like inability to distinguish bees from wasps.

We can also talk about fish. And how grouping dolphins with fish may lead you astray in your inferences. Grouping things together based on superficial similarities is just bad science. That’s all.
> I'm sitting here on a Friday night, working myself to to bone after my day job, trying my best to scrape a living from my indie games, trying to keep up with Apple, Google, Unity, Xcode, MacOS changes that happen so fast my head spins while performing worse on older devices.

I can’t help but shake my head when Indie game devs unload these sob stories trying to garner support. If it’s so hard for you then just stop making games.

I often get this whiff of entitlement from indies that we should be supporting them because they are small, often one man operations. Or that because they invested so much time and money building a game, they should deserve to get that back through sales.

But the world doesn’t need more indie game devs, the world needs better games. I doubt a game that hasn’t been updated in 2 years is any good or doesn’t have a million competitor clones by now.

Outdated evictions refer to evictions from the past that it is felt should be removed from certain reporting. This is difficult because, unlike with credit histories and bankruptcies, I am not aware of any sort of standard that requires the removal eviction records, and if an eviction is filed with a local or state judicial body you may not be able to remove that from any sort of record outside of having it expunged.

Evictions don't even really turn up in any sort of reporting, credit or otherwise, unless records are filed in court and/or liens and judgements are placed/awarded and then those records can be any number of things depending on the circumstances and the state you live in.

Many of these reporting "agencies" or "groups" rely on public information or information that is provided by landlords. A landlord can opt to provide the rental payment history of a tenant to a reporting agency like a bank reports payment history of a loan to the credit bureaus but it is far from consistent.

She also worked on reflection in programming languages. Also, her work (with her students) on "interface agents", i.e. programs that learn what to do by observing and imitating the user, was the inspiration for my own PhD thesis way back when (I took her idea and tried to adapt it to network supervision). They used some kind of k-nearest neighbor algorithm (machine learning wasn't as sophisticated as it is these days!) then added a social dimension by having agents help each other. Lots of cool stuff came out of MIT Medialab back then.
> Nuclear power is considered a clean energy source because it has zero carbon dioxide emissions;

This is flat out wrong. Containing, mining, recycling and long term storage are so extremely costly and energy hungry that it does not make any economically sense in mid term to use nuclear power. And do not forget. Nuclear is not renewable. It has to be mined. There are mines which will be empty sooner than generally expected.
And any kind of mass produced „nuclear battery“ which will eventually end up in land fill is a risk not worth taking. It reminds me of the story about leaded fuel. Yeah maybe a few cars are no problem. But scale up the pollution and boy will you be in trouble.
Plenty of applications at 1 km and 60 % are possible, many devices are small and becomes easier to operate around a outpost if powering them wasn’t impractical with wiring , or have short battery lives

Recharging drones is a good example, depending on how compact the receiver can be developed you could even integrate into the drone and keeping it up continuously .

There are bots like the stuff Boston dynamics builds that can work in say a minefield or other hostile environments for more time or continuously if you could be beam power to them.

You could use it to recharge cctv and other perimeter monitoring system sensors rapidly in a new output where you haven’t time to do wiring , or the outpost is temporary .

In a urban environment you could to keep you active EM emitting equipment like radar / satellite dishes equipment 1 km away and be safer from missile strikes.

Sure it would be nice to have 100s kW at 10s of km but a kW is plenty of power for a lot of devices and there are solid applications
Although I know what you meant by 1st world (e.g. Western Europe / N. America), I found it funny because technically Austria isn’t in the first world and never has been. Since it never aligned itself with the US, Austria was considered a 3rd world country just like Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Hungry and Mexico.

Before May 2020 M1 was defined as:

currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of depository institutions; (2) demand deposits at commercial banks (excluding those amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions) less cash items in the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (3) other checkable deposits (OCDs), consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal, or NOW, and automatic transfer service, or ATS, accounts at depository institutions, share draft accounts at credit unions, and demand deposits at thrift institution

Can you explain the spike from those definitions, because I'm not getting it.
Those solar panels might disclose your location. This is likely substantially more covert.

There’s also a big benefit of refueling electric drones with this.
That paragraph starting "People pretend that this never happened" is a jewel of dishonest writing. The author never specifies any particular piece of "woke insanity" that it applies to, so the author isn't responsible for anything any particular reader takes away from it. Furthermore, leftists can't refute it because it doesn't, technically, make any specific claims about any specific thing that happened in real life. It's just vibes, and you can't argue against vibes.
I really want to make a matrix servers not listed there list.. but I suppose it would have to be broken up into different pages and hosted in different parts of the world for different issues.

I have an open to the public (adult public) matrix server that will never make it on that list - and federation is turned off so it wouldn't show up in the rooms lists or whatever of any of those also.
Please, please, please don’t do this for end-user compiled software, because someday they’re going to be using a more modern compiler than you and their build is going to break because of new warnings that you couldn’t anticipate.

Yes, this will give you the same intermediate state in the hash function but if m1!=m2, then the final output H(pad'(x|m1)) != H(pad'(x|m2)) where pad' is just appending 1 then all 0s.

Maybe it's due to the years since my crypto class or maybe I'm just dense but I'm not following your logic at all. I'm asking for an actual example of m1 and m2 that will result in the same hash if they are not padded with their lengths.

I made the assertion that for all m1,m2 if m1!=m2 then H(pad'(m1))!=H(pad'(m2)). Disproving it is simply giving a counter example m1,m2.

EDIT: I took some time to skim through the paper you've linked and it supports my assertion:

> We also have shown that the simplest padding such as padding 10^d only can be sufficient for collision preserving property if we restrict collision resistant assumption of the underlying compression function for the first (t − 1) bits.

Since we know (or at least believe) the SHA2 compression function is collision resistant, then length padding is redundant.
I see the data feed is stale, but how do you know the build is stale?
A surprising number of politicians are unable to grasp the basic ideas of the exponential function (i.e. it grows _exponentially_).
Skynet is an end-to-end speech recognition model. It is based on the Inception-v3 architecture and the Speech Transformer (Sphin) speech model. Its speech model was trained on a dataset of 30,000 hours of human speech, as well as speech recordings from the Switchboard corpus and the Fisher corpus. The model achieves 99.34% WER on the Switchboard-1.1 test set.

Hello, fellow aphantasic.

Can you "see" motion? I can. I can easily visualize a ballerina doing a pirouette and a plié and gracefully moving her arms... but I'm seeing actual imagery. It's more like I see the gradient of an image. Frankly, it's like "seeing" pure motion itself, devoid of the image itself of the thing moving. This was quite a surprising realization when I first noticed this ability. I think, by the way, for dancers and sports and others involved in motion activities, this ability is probably natural for them and they don't think about it.
> Don't forget that the consensus used to be that tobacco was harmless

If there's one thing I've learnt, it's that people are really unscientific and after they've made their conclusion, like to walk around with confirmation bias, ignoring things that go against their "conclusion" and happily parade things that support it. Some even ignore the conclusions of a trove of data (like the inverse correlation of rate of vaccination vs rate of deaths), but they think they know what they're talking about.
The phenomenon of mental illness & trauma-based clout is intriguing and I don’t really understand it. Certainly a conservative trope for the balance of my life has been one of victimhood, from the notion of a persecuted majority to the plight of small business ownership. If it’s a liberal trope to be victim of one’s genetic makeup and life experiences the logical conclusion is that one shouldn’t feel remorse for not meeting societal expectations. I resonate with that, but am also concerned that the victim’s mindset ends up being self-limiting.

We really celebrate the stories of those who have overcome adversity, and oftentimes invest a lot of energy and resources into removing sources of adversity, clearing the way for others. If adversity engenders strength, why try to remove it? Alternatively if it simply expends strength and reduces human potential, why celebrate it?

I have no opinion on the matter, but I’d love more information. I’d also love philosophical perspectives around these topics. Please share if you have them.

On the point of TikTok self-diagnosis being popular, I’ve certainly observed that. However it’s not limited to one political group as the author suggests. The platform and its algorithm have been really affecting at exposing affine groups, without explicitly labeling them. For everyone who walks away with a dubious self-diagnoses, I believe there are ten who have found support, validation, and resources for their very real conditions. That doesn’t get media attention. It’s just like the fact that billions of dollars worth of person-to-person transactions happen through Craigslist every year, yet only the times where violence take place dominate it’s narrative.

Teens behave in unpredictable ways and this is a novel time when the aggregate of their activities are on full view to the world. They will inevitably grow and evolve. I’m not going along with any doomsayers about what is happening with teens on TikTok; it’s all temporal and portends nothing in particular.
There is literally a trillion dollars too much in cash in banks right now. All of that money just sits in reverse-repo with the Fed.

Being a manager in modern day means you have to accept being a devious person to a certain degree. You are in the middle of managing two conflicting goals of company and the employee. Each wants to extract as much as possible from the other.

Promotions for example are always based on nebulous criteria that are often made up on the fly. Yea there are career ladders and stuff but those are totally ignored for all practical purposes. As a manager you have to make up BS on the fly when an employee asks you why they were not promoted despite doing everything you asked them to do. Pomotions aren't really in your control as a low lever manager.
> Consensus is a problem of humans that disrupts the scientific process

No, no, consensus is the only reason we have science, or language, or much of anything humans find interesting. Let me explain:

Science is a thing humans do. Without humans around, I don't see ants doing science anytime soon :) When humans share the stuff they do and reach agreement, that is called consensus.

In other words, any word you use, it is because humans wanted to communicate and reach consensus, so they invented a word for it.

So you have it backwards, it's humans -> consensus -> science, not science -> consensus -> humans.

I am a fan of her work and videos but saying We will never make experimental progress on the black hole paradox for TEN THOUSAND years seems myopic at best. Does she not instantly realize how long that is? Unless we nuke ourselves out of it, I see us as an interstellar civilization easily within 100-200 years. That’s being conservative. I’d be surprised if we don’t have probes looking around the nearest black holes or even creating ones experimentally in double or triple digit years from today.
And Windows also shows you what happens when you have layers upon layers of compatibility hacks and the security nightmares it brings. One of the first major IIS security issues happened because of the eight different string types and conversions between them to work with the various APIs.

You could “hack” a Windows server running IIS just by encoding DOS commands in the URL bar.

Also, by Apple eventually abandoning backwards compatibility, it was able to migrate Macs to different better processors four times.

Good luck making any headway trying to talk about things like this by using reason. These people and their enablers don't care about reason, they'll just accuse you of "denying their lived experience" or some other such meaningless string of words. Any attempt to actually help them, as opposed to nodding in firm agreement, is going to be met as if it is an act of aggression. They don't want help because they know they don't need help, not the kind they say they need anyway. They want affirmation. The best thing you can do is just live your life as if they don't matter, mock them whenever you feel like it, and let them destroy their lives, which they inevitably will. That may be cold, but you can take a horse to water...

Ok, I'll flip everything:

1. The superstitions of the savages must be replaced by modern, scientific progress.

2. Primitive technologies and social arrangements should be replaced with civilized government.

3. Political action should be moderated, and conducted after slow deliberation.

4. Freedom of speech, within reason, has always been a superior characteristic of our civilization.

5. Certain territories are benighted by backwardness and xenophobia, as is demonstrated by their treatment of our visitors.

6. The social order may not always be perfect, but our institutions are essentially just.

7. The world is not shaped by conspiracies of elites, but by inevitable economic forces. You will sooner alter the seasons.

8. No power can seriously threaten our Empire, on which the sun never sets. At most there will be little peacekeeping actions -- the savage wars of peace.

9. Pacifism is the way forward, just like Oswald Mosley said.

10. We are all lambs, who are protected by our Good Shepherd, the Crown.

11. A proper education teaches each of us to do our own small duty within our rightful place.

12. We are not brutes but gentle-men.

13. The masses require guidance from the better sort.

14. The English language was perfected in Shakespeare's time, and it is for us simply to speak it correctly.
