Then you don’t think that it’s necessarily possible - even in principle - to identify the words in the book that you threw the into the Sun _measuring_ the radiation?

> Basically in QM an isolated system cannot reach the same final state by more than one route; so, if you know what state it's in, you know exactly what route it took, what every previous state was.

There is no way to know in what state is an isolated system - unless you know the state when you last interacted with it. You can “set” the state now and deduce the future evolution. You cannot “know” the state now and deduce the past evolution.

If you think about the whole universe, the “state” that could be described by a “wavefunction” is not a state describing the observed universe. Not even the number of elementary particles would be defined. The physical relevance is unclear.
Shout out to Inoreader!
Brilliant service. I use it to track website changes and follow my private Twitter lists. It offers an option for newsletters without spamming my inbox. I track over 400+ feeds (and counting) to track everything that catches my fancy.
I use Readwise to revise what I have captured; Inoreader offers annotations which go to Readwise. I also use IFTTT with it to pipe specific feeds to Telegram. Readwise completes the loop for repetition; Raindrop.io as the bookmark (with highlights) and annotations for tracking whatever I have read.
I can use it to export to Obsidian and take notes.
I completely agree with the assertion that it's easier to hire normal devs vs no-code devs.

I used to work at a company building one of the bigger low-code platforms (Mendix).

Lots of our platform was "dogfooded", i.e. built in Mendix itself. Control plane apps, that kind of thing. This was a very bad idea for many reasons, but one major problem was hiring developers to work on it. There were simply very few competent specialized Mendix developers available on the market. The really good ones (that you wanted to hire) all became contractors earning >$150/hr. The other devs on the market were very junior.

The alternative was to train up our own regular developers to use our low-code platform. But that didn't work either, because your average Java/Python dev recognized that low-code was a career dead-end, and didn't want to learn it.
I think people are underestimating the power of `bash+curl+jq`. In pretty much every scenario where I want to consume an API, I just fire up my vim+shellcheck+shfmt setup, split my logic into functions (using `local` for private variable, mind you), then just spam `get_endpoint | jq filter`s in a `getopts` loop, and bam, suddenly you have a clean and concise CLI.

Granted, Bash is quirky. So I should say I program in bash+shellcheck not just Bash.

And Jq. Jq is a functional programming language in itself! I do regex or string mangling inside jq filters.

Why should I use Python over this? The moment you want a clean and cool feature that Python has over Bash+jq, you should incorporate third party libraries. And adding just one non-std lib, means you have to resort to `virtual env`. And why not adding also `click` or `requests` or .. and now you have ~10 moving dependencies. Let's not talk about Python's subtle differences between versions.

Compare it to Bash-as-glue-of-unix-tools approach. You want image processing? Just use `imagemagick`. You want web scraping? `pup` is your friend.

ProTip: do `my_command || exit 1` if my_command is bound to fail. Or `if ! my_command; then printf >&2 "[ERROR] reasons"; exit 4 fi` for more elaborate exception-handling.
Microsoft's SharePoint went through this exact same routine ten years ago. The salespeople loved it, the customers bought it and the tech folks trying to implement the customer's needs were tearing out their hair and delivering super expensive and super terrible solutions.
> Most wealthiest people, big tech, big business, mainstream media are all backing climate change.

They may indeed be backing it, but what are they really doing to fight it? Most of what's promoted by big businesses and such is just greenwashing. They solely talk about ecology for marketing purposes and to build their user base's loyalty.

How can one believe that Amazon seeks to "reach net-zero carbon by 2040"[1] while Bezos blasted into space just because he found it fun?

> I'm sure they will all find a way to make the middle class pay while the wealthiest pay zero like usual.

That's the problem and that's what I wanted my comment to highlight.

> I don't think it's wealthy owners of seaside properties who are causing all this climate alarmism, I think it's the usual politicians who would never let a good crisis go to waste.

There is no alarmism. I see how some politicians may leverage the catastrophic (and real) news about climate change, but that's not because they seek to use it to fulfill their interests that it's not real. The consequences of climate change have already started being visible. Just this morning I saw that forecasts were predicting up to 48-49°C in Pakistan and up to 46-47°C in India[2], this in April(!).

I think you are mostly focused around neo-classical economics which took over in the 70s and basically postulates perfect free markets and perfectly rational actors which we don't have.

When it comes to taxes it is actually quite ironic. People do behave like "rational" actors because the problem space is so small, they vote for lower taxes.

I think we should take a step back and adopt an economic system that treats money as a medium of exchange, not a tool to indebt people. Land as a medium of housing, not as a tool of segregation. Patents and copyright as a medium of innovation, not as a tool for crippling competition.

From what I can tell, none of that matters, people want to be the "king" and everyone else to be the "serfs", despite the fact that it is quite obvious that giving everyone the freedom to decide for themselves and utilizing the brains of billions of people is better than the brain of one.

It's the classic prisoners dilemma.
It's best practice for longer scripts. I think anything over 100 lines is better off rewritten in a general purpose language as it is bound to have the complexity they are designed to solve and it will outweight the drawbacks.

That's right, I already do annotate my signals that way. It doesn't bother me as I know doing this will ensure connections can be validated at the block diagram level. Clock and reset domains will be correct, interfaces that are incompatible cannot comnect.

It's clear you have been burned, but I'm genuinely curious as to how. I've always found it to be smooth, and you can write a tcl representation of your bd for safe keeping, and what is generated is very readable (write_bd_tcl)

Yes, they still ship bash because 99.9% of shell scripts have bash in their shebang.

Yes and no. Yes, because Turing completeness. But no, because if you tried to do something like the Nix package manager with a language like Python or Java or even Scheme (yeah, I'm looking at you Guix), you'd end up with a worse system.

What's great about Nix the language is that its design matches beautifully with its purpose. Nixpkgs is a single giant program, the output of which is a set of 70,000 package definitions. Since Nix uses lazy evaluation, you can specify one of the attributes of that set, a single package, and the Nix interpreter will evaluate just that one package expression. Of course, if that package depends on other packages, those will get evaluated as well, because they're needed as inputs to the package you care about. So package dependencies emerge naturally as computational dependencies between function invocations. This is really powerful, and over the years, Nixpkgs has evolved more and more sophisticated ways of defining packages - package overrides, the overlay system, and most recently, flakes.

So yes, using an imperative language would technically be possible, but I doubt that you could use it to build the largest and freshest package repository with a fraction of the contributors that other packaging systems have.
This made me think of the Popular But Possibly Factoidal Article (TM) that goes around every now and then about fighter plane armor. Militaries tried reinforcing the parts of the planes that were damaged after missions. But it didn't help survival rates much. Then Smart Man asked what would happen if they reinforced only the parts of the planes that were NOT damaged, hypothesizing that the planes that didn't make it were being damaged there. And it worked, according to Popular Article!

So the fact that we don't find too many fossils with tooth decay means that it could have been a huge problem. And this is the origin of the joke: you don't have to brush all your teeth, just the ones you find on early hominid fossils.

Disinformation Is a Threat to Our Democracy
It is difficult to conduct a decent statistical study of cell phone radiation and health effects when there is practically no control group to compare with, and when society and technology changes faster than cancer develops.

Several years ago, I read a study that had done animal testing to find that there could be a link between cell phone-type radiation and a weakened immune response against cancer. (all rats had cancer, but the radiated rats were worse off)
But since then I have not seen any follow-up.

The field is ... tainted, because of all the charlatans at the fringe.
It is difficult to get funding for a serious study, and if you do conduct a study, people will not look at you with a mild eye no matter what: it could be a career-killer.

Just take a walk and dictate into your phone. Use an App like Ada Dictation where the phone actually records your voice, but also does transcription in parallel. That way, you do not get interrupted by errors as you would if you dictated using Siri. But you also have a transcript on the screen, so if you lose your train of thought, you just take one glance at the screen. And, of course, you can store the results on your phone or in Evernote for later review.

Personally, I found that 90% of therapy/having somebody to talk to is being able to get stuff out, and, while doing so, sorting through it. Real therapists can be a hindrance in that regard, because they will interrupt you, not understand things, take you off track with their own thoughts, etc.. Plus, there’s always the clock ticking.

Also, it’s not necessarily one way or the other. You can easily do five or so sessions by yourself with your phone. And then, when you have gained a clearer picture of what it is you’re actually struggling with, then you might take one session and talk to an actual human. And then, when you do it, you’re not going to waste the time by using speech to sort through your own thoughts. Instead, you will be able to use speech to communicate the things that you already have understood, as well as the questions that you have.
In my case I think of it as how a blind person might experience the world, I can model spatial relations very well but don't see anything. I've never had a problem with geometry, math, algorithms, etc, and I can often skip the pencil and paper step. Sometimes I joke that can visualize and see at the same time.
Thanks for letting us know. Will use the snap then.
Yeah the classic argument, but at some point every internet connection becomes a shared medium. It really depends on how the network is setup and where the fibre backhauls start. If the building has older wiring which can only support 1Gbps and you have a bunch of high bandwidth users, then yes it can affect your bandwidth more than using other technologies.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.

I would put it like this: Few customers have an intuition for the disadvantages of having a fan. Or the advantages of a fan-free laptop.

A fan is a big and fragile physical component with a lot of associated cost – physical size, constraints on heatsink dimensions, noise, and power.

And indeed, customers' response to Apple's fanless laptops has shown a reasonably strong economic preference for them, or it seems that way right?

Because of crappy CPU design and marketing. I have a work laptop (HP) with a 4 cores i5. When i do some work the fan is always at maximum speed and only one core is running because of thermal throtling. And the laptop is barely usable.
As a hobby videographer using Ubuntu I find myself switching between Kdenlive and Davinci Resolve, depending on the size and complexity of the project. For a small 30-second clip I like the more approachable, simple workflow of Kdenlive but holiday videos with a hundred or more cuts work much better with Davinci for me.

Both are free which is really great, but from an ideological standpoint I much prefer Kdenlive (OSS). Also it's a bit annoying that Davinci doesn't support MP4 with the free version on linux. It's always a lot of re-encoding with ffmpeg to "prepare" clips for use in Davinci (as almost-lossless MOV containers).

Intel used to have a CPU line called the "Core m" which allowed fanless use. I had Lenovo laptop with one and i loved it. But they were hard to find then already, and i think they discontinued the line. My theory is that reviewers and benchmarkers don't care enough about "fanless" and gave them bad reviews ("slow for the price") while not highlighting the major advantage that being fanless is.

Matches my experience. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen people ask "why did they decide to do it this way" or "does this value in the test meet some requirement, or is it a bug?", without finding an answer because it is not documented and whoever did it left the company years ago.
Compared to Nix, every other package manager is a security liability.

Nix is great, but I don't see much difference with respect to security. In fact, Nix encourages and flakes formalize pinning of nixpkgs versions. I am sure that there are a bazillion repositories/configurations out there that use a pinned nixpkgs version with known vulnerabilities in glibc, libxml, or whatever.

Besides that, packages in nixpkgs often have known vulnerabilities for months, because of a lack of volunteers to maintain all of nixpkgs.

I love Nix and the large amount of work that goes into nixpkgs. But let's avoid every Nix discussion becoming a 'Nix evangelism strike force' has landed kind of thing. Be honest about Nix' strengths and weaknesses.
This is the difference between a commercial kitchen and your own kitchen on a normal day. Strict mise en place applies to the former.

In a commercial kitchen, you'd better have the peppers (say) chopped and ready so you can use them. Not only for a single serving of one dish, but for all plates you expect to make of any dish with chopped pepper in it.

You cannot pipeline chopping the peppers with frying the onions when you are preparing several dishes at once like you can at home. At home, you have maybe a dish or two, and you know you have time while the onions are frying. You also know that these are the only dishes to be cooked and no one is going to order something else while your onions are frying.

It also applies to software. If you're in a calm, steady development flow, you can pipeline tasks as you need. You can work on the docs while blocking work on the library, it doesn't matter. However, when you'be got periods of high-speed, fast-paced environment with deliverables required right now and bugs flying at you, finding a way to move groundwork out of the stressful time is a good idea.

Well said. Using imperative language would be possible but then it'd look like a bunch of function invocations, not like a class declaration. And people would be asking "this is crazy, why don't you create a DSL for this? My IDE can't ever understand this".

Shell scripting is not bad these days. There’s a linter - Shellcheck - that will catch most gotchas in scripts, there are a lot more resources to learn shell online, and there are tools like Bats to make your life easier if your shell scripts grow too big.

Writing logic - functions, for loops, or if statements- is still very annoying in Bash. Likewise writing a piece of code that glues calls to external commands is extremely clunky in almost all other languages (except Perl an Ruby), notably Python which is often treated as a Bash replacement.

Finding the right balance can be tricky, but choosing only Shell or only Python is not the right way to go.

> A judge is supposed to read the smart contract source code and determine the intent?

If necessary, they can call on experts to provide testimony in such cases. It's probably not necessary all that often though because there's usually more relevant auxillary information to help work this stuff out. Who wrote this smart contract? Why are the parties using it? What information persuaded them to use it? Was the outcome of using the smart contract different to what a reasonable person would have expected?

This is exactly what courts are for! The fact that some of the procedure of the interaction has been mechanised does not mean the participants get to ignore the law.
Or does it? Wall Street tends to do irrational stuff, and besides, there are still about four billion people in the world without a Facebook account, so there’s still room to grow.

I mean...no? I sometimes even sleep in my very very very EM noisy homelab (don't ask why, I'm just bad at managing my time haha) and never experienced any change from even when I'm in the woods. And when I say noisy, it's everything from radios, chunky power ICs under heavy load, inverters for my 36U server rack and the custom powerwall UPS back up they have... Well the 1-2U servers sound like jet engines and can sound like a nightmare, so the rack/enclosure is soundproofed but that shouldn't have any effect on RF emissions.

The only pressure difference I feel when power is out is from the fear that my huge battery backup could fail to take over correctly. But that's mostly because it was a hand made, learn as you go type of system and I have very little confidence in my electronics skills. :').

I'd think that what you describe would be very easy to measure if it was more than a placebo effect. And there is a big corpus of research on the effects of EM noise. Wouldn't there be some sort of data on what you described by now?
