> This makes the hypercube in some sense very “spiky”, with parts of the boundary close to the center (0.5) and other parts infinitely far away.

One way to make the weirdness of the "other parts infinitely far away" concrete is to recall that, say, the Empire State Building can fit entirely inside of an n-cube with sides of 1 cm, for sufficiently large n. The length of the diagonal of such a cube grows without bound, and so does any constant-dimensional cross-section.

Extremely high-dimensional spaces are extremely spacious. (People experience this with ML and statistics, where random points in very high-dimensional data sets are almost certain to be extremely far apart from one another in a Euclidean metric.)

> So, if you accept the math, the question is: Is the quoted result really something unintuitive about high-dimensional balls, which are perfectly symmetrical objects? Or is the “weirdness”, in terms of human intuition, better blamed on the hypercubes we implicitly compare them to when we talk about volume?

That's a terrific way to put it. We can think of the n-balls as bizarrely small (and/or bizarrely round), or we can think of the n-cubes as bizarrely huge (and/or bizarrely spiky). Then we could say that the latter eventually contain absurdly much space, while the former continue to contain only a moderate, reasonable amount of space!

Sorry but... You are fighting for yours enemies. As, unfortunately, many Poles have done since more than a century. Did you remember the UK betrayal right before WWII? When the Crown, a formal ally, ask Polish Gov. to surrender to Germans because "in the end they are right" thanks to their massacre of their own Citizens with a blitz on the Poland soil against Germanophones Poles? The very same tactics NATO mercenaries have trained azov, C14, pravy sektor, svoboda and the other nazi Ukraine having also armed them, pushed them against their own Russianophone peoples?

Did you see what they left in their own colonies around the world, what they have done AGAINST Iraqis People, Venezuelan people, Afghans, Chileans etc? The UK and USA ruling class, betraying their own people values, have the bloodiest trails in the entire world history, they even surpass Germans and Spanish inquisition crimes.

Not to talk about actual Polish government who keep acting against their own people, just to name one the anti-abortion laws, the very same USA rulers want on their own land. Not to talk about CIA funded Solidarność crimes.
Thanks! Currently, I have no plans to convince users of Nota's longevity. It is a research prototype, and I will pursue it as long as I have the time and still think it's a good idea.

My hope is that in the near-term, I (or other early-adopters) will create a gallery of documents that use Nota's features to convey information in a compelling way. Those examples will convince more people to adopt Nota for their blog or website. Maybe a forward-looking academic workshop convinces its authors to write their papers in Nota. And eventually some Nota will gather some institutional momentum to fund its development. Once there are enough Nota documents worth archiving, then people/orgs will invest resources into archival stability.

So right now, I'm more interested in convincing people that using Nota can enable them to write documents that are significantly better for readers without significantly more effort on behalf of the authors.

Great article but man wasn't expecting to see anything from Michael Fertik. Haven't heard from/seen that name since 2006 when he was handing out "ReputationDefender destroy manuals" to Stanford undergrads. Hard to believe that was 16 years ago...
Going to be a hell of a ride down.

IMO Good communication is really important in any team. Video in meetings for me is really useful as I can use visual cues from my team to understand where they stand, whether they agree, etc. Smiling, signalling with thumbs up/down, emoting of any kind is a really good way to pass on quite a bit of information from multiple people at once without having to unmute and speak up to voice your reaction.

I’m not sure how useful this is in larger teams where i guess you can’t have your whole team in a single window, but at least for smaller teams it’s really useful as to gauge the overall team sentiment.
>I honestly love Ruby and Ruby on Rails, but I can't understand why companies like Shopify and Github go through so much effort to scale Ruby especially at their size. Maybe I am wrong, but couldn't this effort be put to rewriting parts of it in a more performant language like Go or Rust? One has to imagine that they have a large code base, how much developer time is spent writing Tests for Ruby? How much time was spent debugging odd monkey patching gems over the life of the codebase?

Me neither, especially there is crstal, a Ruby like syntax, that runs 3 times fast than go. Invidious, (youtube proxy) is written it it. Ruby developer ought to just switch to that for speed.
I was thinking the same thing. So many young people share houses in places like the Bay Area, but it doesn’t seem to be included in these numbers.
