Kinda agreeing with me though? I said "doesn't matter as much".

Case in point, I think someone that watches 1 hour of news about the Boston Marathon bombings is going to be worse off than someone who watches 12 hours of news that happens to be mildly positive. The problem is (as I said) that the news these days is almost entirely negative, because that is what sells.
Among the most important qualities of a rocket engine is its exhaust velocity, which determines its efficiency, delta-V per unit mass of fuel/oxidizer burned.

Not exploding is probably the actual most important quality. You don't really start tuning for efficiency until you have got that one nailed.

Sometimes absolute thrust is more important than efficiency. Perhaps surprisingly, efficiency can be traded off for thrust by getting heavier molecules into the exhaust. They are coming out slower than the naked protons, but not as many times slower as the ratio of their mass to the protons'.
Unbelievable. This has traversed the uncanny valley and come out the other side.

> Though the university did not formally sanction Katz, it did include him on a list of racists—such as the notorious segregationist Woodrow Wilson—who have marred Princeton’s legacy, which was published on a university website and presented at a mandatory orientation session for freshmen in August.

Imagine calling out the insanity around you and the response is that you are added to an “official list of racists” that’s drilled into freshman before they even begin their first day of school. And their parents are probably paying $58,000/year for it.
My favorite part of the flight sim is how ships take damage. You can lose various RCS thrusters and still fly, but obviously it's more difficult. Landing can be a fun ordeal without thrusters in every direction.

Well photorealistic art for me is too much information. More abstract paintings, simpler ones get saved into long term memory easier. For example you can take a look athanasart (google search), which is a friend of mine. Simple abstract paintings, not always that simple but avoiding the overwhelming amount of information. That friend of mine, usually states that he is painting, because if he doesn't he will go crazy.

also for Show HN, i have published just the last week 6 cubism art, picasso style computer generated of course, Dalle, and i have created already 10 other different variations of cubism, in the style of picasso, some of them are really good. And hundreds of them to come in the future. Dalle and Picasso are a benign combination. If anyone is curious insta/pramatias and the albums will be uploaded elsewhere as well. The albums are annotated with the Dalle prompts as well.

I have long thought that programs, operating systems etc could be annotated to ease the understanding of the program. Especially big programs like operating systems, browsers etc. We could annotate for example every function with an image. Black n white could mean that the function has side effects, and colorful images could be used for the pure functions. That way in one glance of a file, just a millisecond we can tell which function is probably to have caused a strange panic.

> Every Bitcoin block header has a field in it called nTime. For a Bitcoin block to be accepted by the network the Bitcoin protocol requires that field to be set to approximately the time the block was created. Exactly how accurate that field must be for a block to be valid is a complex topic, but for our purposes it’s fair to say it’ll very likely be accurate to within two or three hours - even if a sizable minority of Bitcoin miners are trying to create invalid timestamps - and almost certainly within a day.

Distributed systems cannot make reliable assertions about wall-clock timestamps of operations by definition. Even BFT consensus on a given timestamp does not change this fact. This is the whole rationale behind things like Lamport and vector clocks! Anything building on the assertion quoted above is invalid.

> Thus we can say Bitcoin is a notary, and we can use Bitcoin block headers as time attestations: proof that a notary that we trust attested to the fact that some data existed at some point in time.

You can use headers as evidence that supports a time attestation, yes. But that evidence does not in any sense _prove_ the time is accurate! It's easy to construct a pathological condition -- not necessarily malicious, either! -- which breaks these assumptions.

In a distributed system there is no notion of "a point in [wall clock] time" by definition. Timestamps can be attached to events but they cannot be taken as authoritative.

Man, the article really buries the meat of the issue to try to sell a narrative.

> But when the liaison became public through the Daily Princetonian’s report, Princeton launched a second investigation, telling Katz that certain details in the article "remain uninvestigated and unaddressed." Under pressure from students, the school tasked two separate bureaucracies—the Office of the Dean of Faculty and the Office of Gender Equity and Title IX Administration—with investigating the tryst. Though the former undergraduate declined to participate in the 2018 investigation, she did participate in the 2021 inquiry, alleging not just impropriety but sexual harassment.

The story seems much more about this relationship, the university trying to settle it quietly to avoid bad publicity, then having to readdress the case when it became public and the key witness bece willing to talk about it.

It is possible/probable that the story about the relation was leaked by someone at the university. I am little skeptical they were high up since the leal also hurts the university.

While I don't think the professor should be fired for it, I agree with the university president that calling a group of student protestors "terrorists" is not responsible free speech. That isn't effective discourse and his criticism would have been more effective if he avoided using such a loaded term figuratively.
I don't know what your basis of measurement is, so I'll continue to ignore your ratios. Tolerance of crash consistent state isn't exclusive to databases. Filesystems themselves are often designed to tolerate, for example, sudden power loss without corruption. Applications that manage large collections of files can also achieve this; maildir is an example of such a scheme. All of these systems are using related principles of consistency, and all of them can be correctly backed up by copying volume snapshots.
To me it is the epitome of laziness. The ultimate expression of the banality of evil.

Similar to prejudice and stereotyping or the worst of lies there is some truth in its reasoning but the untrue part, the lazy part allows people to commit evil and be unjust. A reason to harm others with minimal conscious discomfort.

Google Spanner is another good implementation to study

https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

> The key enabler of these properties is a new TrueTime
API and its implementation. The API directly exposes
clock uncertainty, and the guarantees on Spanner’s timestamps depend on the bounds that the implementation provides. If the uncertainty is large, Spanner slows down to
wait out that uncertainty. Google’s cluster-management
software provides an implementation of the TrueTime
API. This implementation keeps uncertainty small (generally less than 10ms) by using multiple modern clock
references (GPS and atomic clocks).

> only to be rejected by some moderator that could not bother to understand the topic

This is a tired trope, and it shows you're the one who can't be bothered to understand Wikipedia. Wikipedia is basically an anarchy (most of the time...), meaning that it's unlikely that the person who "rejected" your changes had elevated privileges, it was probably just another editor like you. Incompetent and/or malicious admins do exist on Wikipedia, but its much less likely you encountered one of those as opposed to just a regular user who disagreed with your change.

I'm neither a fan nor a Wikipedia apologist (WP has loads of issues), just trying to explain some basics.

BTW, I assumed you meant "Wikipedia admin" when you said "moderator"; real moderators (Wikimedia employees) do exist, but they're even less likely to encounter.

On the other hand, you say:

> having intimate knowledge of a topic

These kinds of edits sometimes get reverted on Wikipedia, and rightly so. I'm sure you understand that anyone can pretend to have "intimate knowledge of a topic", ideally edits should be backed with good references/sources instead of the editor's (unverifiable) knowledge.
Nuclear power to the rescue (again! Lol) use excess heat from nuclear power generation and the water that gets steamed anyways for cooling and desalinate it. The brine problem can be solved by not desalinating endlessly but using desalination to create lakes and dump the brine in the desert where nuke waste is buried.
Yeah! California could fix the water issue by restricting agricultural use water. That way, California could finally kill off it's agricultural production. This will ensure farmers will move to other states and turn to the plentiful supply of hard drugs. This seems exactly what California will do. You would think California politicians might make a good decision -- EVEN by mistake once and while -- but NO. How is that train from LA going?

Exchange has all customer deposits intermingled.
Exchange offers crypto loans.
Exchange shows positive balances across all users that exceed deposits (though may or may not balance out with negative balances).

Everything keeps functioning because the exchange is a black box and not everyone wants to move their BTC at the same time. More people can 'own' BTC on paper than there is BTC in existence on the blockchain.

In the same way that most BTC transactions don't involve the blockchain either, they take place entirely within exchanges.
Sounds like a customer's canary token triggered this based on the current reporting.

Because once you've deployed the smart contract, you don't need to run it anymore, it's just out there for everyone to use. That part is actually interesting about smart contracts (but unclear why it would attract so much VC interest).

The Liquity stablecoin actually works that way, they don't even have an own web app.
Probably better for the perpetrator. If you think stealing is good idea, its better to learn that its not by getting caught stealing something small when you're young, than to be successful at it initially and getting caught later when the stakes are higher.

Don't get me wrong RoR is great and it is definitely the fastest way to get a project out the door and in front of your users. I've just seen what happens when that project takes off and you end up with a massive monolith that you're paying through the nose to support with the biggest RDS DB available, and every change you make has a 50/50 chance of introducing a bug somewhere else in the system. Then, because of those issues, you decide to split up the monolith into microservice, but you have a bunch of RoR engineers that have been working with monoliths their entire careers so you end up with a distributed monolith that's even harder to change and requires coordinated deploys.

I recognize that there are definitely ways to scale RoR well (GitHub, Shopify), but the framework is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible so trade-offs were made in areas that

It explicitly says in the article that the reason they capped it at ~1B parameters is because that’s the current limit of what they can achieve and hit their latency requirements? It has nothing to do with not being interested in scaling it further, as far as I’m aware.

Yep, it’s called pumped hydro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricit...

I think it’s very promising/exciting as a method of smoothing out the demand curves of the electric grid. Plus, it’s fairly straightforward to modify existing dams/hydro infrastructure to have this capacity.

Since some dams are already used as water reservoirs for drinking/agriculture, this could be quite viable if the desalination can be done cheaply and efficiently at scale (not sure if this is even possible on the scales required for this idea to make sense, though).
> Is that correct?

It's not exactly like that - it's more like there are competing "standards" and interpretations of these standards, and sometimes supporting one means not supporting the other.

Fortunately, such things are rare, and can be addressed by GUI options.

Take for example SGR1 for "bold/intense" text: read the whole issue that came to Microsoft Terminal team in 2018 up to its most recent discussions on https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/109 then check the "simpler" version in wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#SGR_.28Select... and you will realize there's no "right" answer between bold and bright (or both!), just different preferences and interpretations of the standards.
I wonder which one of these you went to?
Star Citizen really is something special. I backed it during 2021/the pandemic, despite the controversy and not knowing much about it, because I wanted to try something a bit different and growing up my dad fed me a steady diet of Asimov, Clarke, and Gibson. Besides, I'm privileged enough to be in a position that being out $100 for a virtual space ship is an acceptable risk to me.

While I'm not one of those people that spend countless hours in game, I do love the time I get to play. Technically, it's a game, but honestly that feels a bit misleading. I almost view it as a massive crowd funded engineering R&D project. There are plenty of bugs that can ruin the fun, but when things go right, it can be an almost magical experience.

The level of detail and artistry in the ships is astounding. The graphics are like something out of a game engine tech demo, but instead of a far off future, "maybe it'll be implemented in a game at some point", it's here today!

I'm sure plenty of people will read this and think it's stupid, but seeing what CIG calls "Volumetric Clouds" from orbit in your space ship is one of the only computer graphics experiences that's ever made me stop and stare. It's hard to convey the experience through a YouTube video. I wasn't particularly impressed until I had it running on my own machine. Maybe it's something about it clearly being rendered in real time when you adjust the camera angle? I'm not sure. That's not even real game play either! Some of the most fun I've had is finding folks that left their ship doors open, pulling up next to them, exiting my ship to space walk over and boarding their ship to take for a joy ride! Or dropping out of your own ship in a tank to fall through the atmosphere of a planet!

There are a lot of things you can say about SC and CIG, plenty of well deserved criticism, but it's an objective fact they've pushed the boundaries of what I knew was possible with games. Perhaps that's a limitation of my own knowledge though :)

In some ways now I enjoy watching the game engine and graphics engineers do live streams on the SC twitch channel and talk about their work just as much as playing. I wish they'd go into a bit more technical detail, but they're in a never ending rush to deliver, so I get why they're not going to conferences and giving presentations.

Anyways, you don't have to take my word for it. On Friday, May 20th to 31st is a large event and the game is free to play. Kick the tires yourself if you're curious! It's certainly worth a couple hours to see what over $400 Million in crowd funding buys you.

> Plagiarism is a pretty serious offense, and being willing to do it (whether you're a college "kid" or not) says something striking about your character, and something that I think should follow you for a long, long time, especially if you are trying to make a living in writing/publishing.

I have not done it, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't the case that almost every college kid engages in plagiarism at least once. (Plagiarism includes downloading answers off Chegg and submitting them as your own, an activity sufficiently common that some of my students complained to me about the injustice of not getting points because the answer they copied off Chegg was wrong.)
