It doesn't eliminate all noise. You can play these games, but can never violate Shannon's. We hit Baud rates where channel loss was high enough that the SNR needed to be cut into to get more throughput. This cut the SNR so much that FEC was needed to maintain an acceptable error rate. PCIe lags IEEE 802.3 with these kinds of things. I'd call it bog standard but it's still bleeding edge.
I actually wonder what the big fuss is - other objects (satellites, the ISS, etc.) have been orbiting the Earth for decades and nobody gets that excited about it. Is there anything about this record that sets it apart from those set by other artificial satellites? I mean, you can't just decide to call it "flight" because it's a spaceplane, it's in orbit same as zillions of other things. Or is it a record for a craft designed to reenter the atmosphere and land in one piece? Then they should probably wait until the successful landing before declaring a record...
My suggestion is somewhat different.

It's that e-ink is a viable display, but that it provides a different set of capabilities which must be recognised in the tools (applications, interfaces) which are used on it. Some of those already exist, others might have to be developed or tweaked. And platforms in which the display endpoint is not predefined (e.g., Web content), consideration of e-ink and other alternative display formats and factors will have to be increasingly considered either be designers or by application developers. Again, EinkBro is an examplar of the latter: an e-ink optimised Web browser with a specific design philosophy informed by the characteristics of e-ink displays. (I've had numerous exchanges with the developer, Daniel Kao, and he gets it.)

Text- and static-graphic-centric presentation works well. High-colour and dynamic displays don't. A large set of traditional text-mode tools (e.g., traditional Unix/Linux userland, and tools inspired by these) work quite well, as do many graphical presentations so long as they respect the properties of the display.

I've reflected a fair bit on the MOAD (mother of all demonstrations), now 54 years in our past. MOAD was based on the principles of high-framerate emissive displays, and virtually all elements shown in the demonstration remain the core elements of present-generation graphical displays, despite the migration from CRT to LED to OLED/Plasma displays. All effectively are emissive and low-latency.

Another alternative would be to adopt different display options. LCD (or transflective LCD) is one option; these work fundamentally by light polarisation, which means that they halve whatever ambient or backlight intensity is provided, greatly reducing apparent contrast.

What might be interesting would be a materials advance in which substances or fluid cells transition between primary colour states, giving the ability to directly create static pixels of a given colour, under some influence --- electric or magnetic influence, perhaps some induced pH state change. If that's a durable shift (e.g., there's a stable state that isn't changed until a new stimulus is applied), then we'd have a new display technology. That might even give a true ink-mixing behaviour, if, say, a given fluid cell or particle fibre might include multiple colour elements which would mix as paint or ink pigments do. Any material scientists know of materials which transition between white and CMYK spectra?

Advantages of E-Ink include not only power but readability in high-ambient light situations, or under normal room lighting rather than requiring an independently illuminated display as with LCD screens.

Depending on how displays are specifically addressed, the possibility of arbitrarily large displays at lower costs might also exist. That ... would be interesting. I have the usual present fear: that these would be appropriated principally for advertising and propaganda on wall- or building-sized form factors.

That is a disappointing disregard for modern public discourse.

You may well have something interesting to say. Alas, we will never know.
I'm not sure any of them would turn off for longer than 2-3 minutes at a time. The minimum frequency would be about 12 tph (5 mins interval) but that's in each direction. You only need one person alighting from a train to cause the elevator to turn on. The less used suburban stations don't have escalators at all.

A million comments generated by a few hundred thousand GPT accounts say a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and you exercise very little control over that. The dumb bots that just like and retweet the messages from your main account(s) until people start organically taking notice of them are more useful for influence-generating.
Some of the escalators on the Underground are terrifyingly deep. They could do variable speed for some of the shorter ones, but implementing that for the long escalators would cause more than a few accidents.

10 years of Meteor... Well thanks, now I feel old. I haven't personally used Meteor but I remember looking into it seriously few times.

If anyone wants to explore an open-source Meteor project in the wild, a kickstarted project named Pixel Art Academy[1] comes to my mind. Looking through the repo[2] takes me back to CoffeeScript days.

Yep, my key insight was "oh, you don't worry about next month". So you just need to separately know when the current month ends (whether a leap year, etc), so it's a pure series of seven day weeks starting from an arbitrary offset. Really elegant, if a little daunting that my entire life will be described by that rectangular frame twitching backwards and forwards across a field of indistinguishable dates :-)
Separate git repo for each note will fix this, right? Another possibility you can use some trick like https://stackoverflow.com/a/64810110/936584 to prefer one version.
This was also only at Holborn, one of the typically most overcrowded stations on the network.

A lot of the problem was that it was relatively unpopular, even with the increase in throughput. There was some talk about having at least one walking side per set of escalators, but that's also harder from a messaging point-of-view.
Nothing much to add.

Laws against hate speech never succeeded in curbing hatred. Those that advertise restriction on speech in the name of minorities should be deeply ashamed as well.
Flapping like a colibri would, I suppose, also be rather loud and create noise. What fascinated Lilienthal was the way large birds like storks fly: They do flap their wings to take off, and also when there are no thermals. But most of the time, they glide or use thermals to gain altitude.

I do have to say, whenever I see a stork above, or even just a red kite or pelican, I feel envious. Our drones and planes just seem crude in comparison.

To be clear: I'm not talking about flight as a means to get from A to B as quickly as possible. That's the domain of the jet engine, and no bird can match it. I'm talking about flying as a thing you do for the enjoyment of it, as a thing of beauty and wonder. In short, that which inspired humans to dream about flying machines in the first place.

You can't generalize too much, nor can you assume humans will just "fix it for everyone" like the author seems to imply we are some enlightened, higher species.

That assumption can also backfire. A highly adaptive species capable of grouping up gives leeway for some extreme solutions which will solve the problem for a subpopulation at the cost of another. Humans might solve the problem, but not in the way which is best for the entire population. Plenty of examples in both the past and the present.

Your experience may vary but for many it's an open secret in IT that developers and sysadmin help each other (at any level).

In practice, when you are a developer you get to know lot of infrastructure and even sometimes customer secrets from Facebook, Apple, Google, PayPal, etc.

This is because the tech people actually speak together, ask feedback and share information.

When a doctor doesn't know, he asks the other doctors for opinion.

There are even websites for that (StackOverflow, GitHub, etc).

It's fine. I trust my employees to use their best judgement when making such choices.

It doesn't mean these 3rd-party guys will get access to your systems.

Even the NSA asks for help, you can see them in the reverse-engineering forums, in MediaWiki conferences, etc.

Experienced developers are not teenagers and act rationally, they don't do 10 years of career to suddenly risk losing all their trust/friends and reputation, all that for 5-minute fame on Twitter for a leak that is likely non-strategic to the outsiders.

Again, why? You've repeating it as it was some kind of fact, yet you're unable to show criteria that led you to this conclusion.

Oh, I am showing you respect. I'm only talking about your fringe beliefs, not you as a person.

Perhaps because it's immediately obvious that the "life from conception" aberration is purely religious?

You still failed to show a single argument that would be both logically sound and secular.

Of course they could look similar - to a high-schooler who knows nothing about the subject.
Disagree. Firstly there aren’t many situations in fluid dynamics where there is a steady constraint on mass flow. Velocity just increases. (The exception is choked flow from a nozzle IIRC)

Now think about what happens when 6000 people/hr leave the station but arrive on 12 trains over the course of the hour, i.e. in surges. Each peak demand will comfortably exceed the flow rate of escalator.

You get a queue; the equivalent in fluid dynamics would be an increase in density upstream of a choked nozzle at Mach 1 but how to turn that into a relevant metric for eg queue length?

Thats also the reason - I suspect - that in many Tube stations two escalators go up and only one goes down.
Media reporting on Wikipedia (with few exceptions, like Stephen Harrison on Slate) generally consists in regurgitating Wikimedia press releases. So issues like Wikimedia's dodgy fundraising practices that could do with investigative journalism for example often fall by the wayside:

Hadn’t heard of Interserver before. How are they?
Ok, this is bizarre. A few days ago, and with no connection at all to any of this work, I had a similar idea. Not the same idea, just similar, and mine is just at the “hmm” stage (which also means mine may turn out to not work), but this still feels really weird.

Anyway, my thought was: laser goes to semi-silvered mirror between camera CCD and camera lens, passes through lens to diverge outward into environment, reflects off environment in the same way as a normal laser microphone, separate return signal now exists for all pixels on CCD.

Point this at a wall, do the right transformation (is a Fourier transform sufficient?) and the entire wall can be used as a computational phased array of microphones to listen to a specific (possibly moving) target.

Possibly mix with the original laser light to get beat patterns due to red/blue shift, like radar speed guns, but that feels like a separate application entirely.

I’m really impressed by this result in particular:

> Combining 63-fps video from two cameras, one with a global shutter and one with a rolling shutter, allows the researchers to recover a sound signal at 63,000 Hz

Because shutter speed was my first concern about possible limitations when I had my other idea.

I personally consider conservatorship immoral. "We know better so you are better off being my slave"
One thing I’m conscious of with these crowded escalators is the exit point safety, as some people can be rather slow to move away. Making both sides standing would make me concerned about seeing accidental pileups from people not moving away quickly enough.

You get it sometimes already when the station itself is overcrowded- TfL normally starts limiting access, running congestion control etc. Fortunately most of busier places (Bank, Canary Wharf, etc) are full of regular workers who know the drill.

It’s more one off special events where causal travellers show up en masse.

Thanks for pointing this work out. Great design.
I find it really interesting that in the supposedly "land of the free" US people constantly try to invade each other's private business. So many regulations telling you what you can or cannot do, especially in your private property. And of course people willingly(!!!!!) joining organisations that regulate where you can park on your own driveway or what's the regulation height of the grass in your garden.

In other countries you want to open a business out of your garage? Go ahead, why would anyone stop you. It's your private property. Your neighbour doesn't like it? They can talk to you about it. The local council isn't going to invervene because.....it's none of their business. But somehow in US that's flipped on its head - like somehow the "freedom" means "freedom to tell others how to live their life" instead of "freedom to live my life how I want".

I think part of the reason is just that they aren’t frequently replaced (I think it is often a very annoying place to install new escalators).

Personally I prefer to manually climb the stairs and I’m often surprised by how much space there is between escalators (it often seems like 50% of the width of a tunnel is just metal closing up the space between the parts of the escalators you can stand on) but I think my opinion is rare and it would be inefficient to have a flight of stairs that nearly nobody uses.
There is a raw question of power here - who has final say over how the money gets spent? They own the money.

The TV license covers you watching any broadcast content, no matter if it is received via antenna/aerial, satellite dish, cable TV or over the internet. If it is broadcasted, it is covered and you need a TV license to view it. It's not exclusive to the BBC. There used to be a loophole that if you didn't watch BBC, it wasn't included - they closed that. Then with the dawn of "live streaming" simulcasted content, you managed to get away with that other than BBC, now that is also closed. If you watch any broadcasted TV, no matter how it is received, it requires a TV license to watch it in the UK. The BBC is funded by the license, but the license is for broadcast TV in general.

On the other hand, streaming "on demand" or "catch up", currently only covers the BBC iPlayer. But I expect they will attempt to close that loophole if they continue with the TV license in the UK, because so many people just don't watch broadcast TV anymore, and if you also don't use iPlayer or watch live TV using a service like NowTV, you can watch whatever you like with no license.

Technical people were never prestigious nor well paid. That was not desired in communism where workers were presented as ruling class. Engineers salary was 110-130 rubles, casual worker ~70 rubles and small caliber boss ~200 rubles.

Edit: a car in comparison was going for 7000 rubles.

> Require physical presence in the bank with machine readable biometrics passport for account opening (just like everywhere else)

The problem with that in the US is that the US - unlike almost every other developed nation - doesn't have a requirement for people to possess a government issued ID card or a passport. The reasons for this are multiple: right-wing/"sovereign citizen"-type of people afraid of the government building databases or whatever, people exploiting illegal immigrants (aka well-connected farmers and meatpackers) who would not be able to pay their staff, and people on the left who see it as yet another expense to be paid by poor people.
How does that hurt the language itself? What would it mean for the language to be hurt?
What happens when you now want to work in say.. Crystal, or Shell, or Rust, or Zig, or any other language for which there is not an IDE (even those also by JetBrains) which is 1:1 feature compatible to IntelliJ? Not all JetBrains IDEs have the same features. Rider (for .NET) only recently got remote editing support which IntelliJ already had for instance.

Now you're only as good as your tool (IntelliJ) and you cannot work with any other language or tool which isn't 1:1 feature complete.

If you had an extensible text editor beit vim, neovim, Sublime Text, emacs, VS Code or others then you could add extensions or features per language and keep using your single core tool (said text editor) with a configuration per-language.

With all the benefits of an enterprise SSD (EDSFF in most cases) form factor. And that's what data center folks want.

Right. I expect that CXL will initially be deployed as an internal transparent optimization for cloud providers and large data centers, with the latency and complexity (to an extent) hidden at hypervisor/orchestration layers. Some sophisticated software might have special support. Eventually we might get S3-like disaggregated memory services for cloud instances enabled by pooling (pure speculation on my part).
> How would you watch BBC shows without iPlayer

If you paid for a service like Netflix or BritBox you can. They have legally licensed the content. It you watch anything on iPlayer, you need to pay the additional license fee. I don't think anything I have said didn't contradict that, right? If so, sorry for any confusion.

This is similar to what GitJournal does. It'll never present you with a merge conflict and will instead just make prefer the local changes.
