For some reason, my brain totally slipped over that when skimming the abstract. I was like “Gaussian integers are a real thing, ℤ₂ is a real thing, okay, cool”.
I just wanted to thank you for the information and the ensuing thread. Very interesting.
I agree almost completely. It's just that my guess is that nobody actually cares about usernames either, just the few people who can't use a phone for <reasons>. So I'm thinking they're already kinda in the realm of building out this feature for nobody which is why I was suggesting something more wallet-like like generating 32bytes of entropy and showing users the mnemonic representation and telling them not to lose it (which is familiar, despite being a terrible UX, at least). Perhaps I'm underestimating how many people actually would use a username instead of their phone number in which case I think your 100% spot on.

Where do you draw the line? White Gentiles are the majority population of this country, yet dramatically underrepresented in the Ivy League. White Jewish students of comparable ability are roughly 1,000% more likely to be enrolled at Harvard and the rest of the Ivies.

Does their representation matter to you? How about South Asian students versus Chinese, or (perhaps most concerningly) wealthy Nigerian immigrants versus poorer African-American descendants of slavery? The former often benefit from affirmative action aimed at the latter.

Maybe I'm just old-school, but this was sooooo annoying. It'd be a cool intro to a Telltale game or something, but having it take over all the navigation (scrolling barely works, getting to the point takes forever) to tell its fancy 3d story was just a waste of my time, IMO. I want to know how their fuels work, not that they can hire someone to make a 3D game intro inside their browser. Just unnecessary shiny that gets in the way of usability :(
Modern International First is going the way of the dodo on many routes, because business is now more comfortable than first was in the past.

Name is the biggest marker of all. Last name can give away the case pretty accurately. There are certain parts of India that don't use the traditional family name but even in that case, certain first names are more common among certain groups. (I'm pretty sure I have received mild positive discrimination - more like favorable pre-judgement - based on my name.)
I know I'll be totally shocked when it's announced that money went into the pockets of Filipino government officials. For those who don't know, about 40 rich and powerful families (like, say, the Yansons, Tans, Aranetas, or Cojuangcos) pull all the strings in the Philippines and these families all have prominently placed senators, congressmen, mayors, all the way down to barangay officials in their pockets. The entire government is completely and utterly corrupt.

No idea about the spy saga as we are from india (he did tell me about an old tale about an indian spy who went to Pakistan, married some Pakistani, joined the Pakistan Army and managed to rise up the ranks to become an officer before he was finally caught). That scanner bin is a very neat contraption - we could easily make one with a cardboard box at home. I think that, his digital camera or mobile phone and some service like https://www.colorslide.com/ might be a very practical solution for him.
This is just wrong. Innocents being injured or killed while testing this tech is more akin to a negligent murder via technology than an "accident".

Many years ago the 3M company created a magnetic tape for the lane lines on roads and a device to detect those for automobiles, along with a gizmo that would vibrate the driver's seat on the side the vehicle was getting too close to crossing the lane lines.

That could help prevent these kinds of incidents, but cameras trying to detect painted lane lines have many obvious fail points and one of them is keeping the car in it's lane. This incident proves that once again.

You cannot tell a human "this car can drive itself but you need to be ready to take control at all times" because that's a clear oxymoron. It either works, or it doesn't, and if it doesn't it's potentially deadly, and it only takes a second to become deadly, and humans cannot react to that failure 100% of the time. That's been proven too many times already.
So just from the headline, "unknown person solves p=np" there is a 99.9999% chance this is wrong.

However if i read the first sentence of the abstract correctly, they are claiming to have a constructive proof (i.e. they found an algorith). So can't we just check the proof by using their alleged algorithm on some np-hard problems?
The future is still ours to write.

In the 2000s decade, my main thought was that if we looked at science & technology, our future was insanely bright, and if we looked at governance & politics, we're badly forked.

Now, while the politics has become insanely worse, and tech has continued, those are trends may be reversing.

In politics, the good thing I see is that the onrush of autocrats, asshats & abusers is becoming blatantly obvious. Ordinarily smug people are starting to realize that democracy must be continuously maintained, at every level. If you want to determine your life, your work, and your city/state/country, you must get involved. If not, some abuser, asshat, or autocrat will take over. Naive pacifism is (may be) being replaced by the realization that those who want to determine their own course must always be better armed & prepared than those Abusers. Asshats. or Aautocrats, who would take control of their lives, work or governments. People are finding again the course of shunning people, work, & govts that want to abuse them. The US and EU are finally realizing that outsourcing their entire manufacturing & tech sector to autocrats in China just might have been a stupid idea; not sure they realize quite what a historical-scale blunder it was, but it's still progress.

Now, can they win, in time?

Technology is also advancing. In some ways it continues to be fantastic. The first small nuclear plant has been approved in the US. Sustainable energies are seeing the results of massive investment.

Yet other parts of the tech world are devolving rapidly. Just looking for a home device that doesn't require cloud data extraction, whether it is a doorbell, thermostat, vacuum cleaner, whatever - is almost impossible to find. It seems like no investor will fund anything if it can't extract data from it's victims, err, users. Every bit of tech is trying to turn into a subscription, or companies like FB and Google are ramping up their surveillance capitalism.

This is actually the previous phenomenon, where abusers & asshats are co-opting the flow of funds in the tech sector to pervert it to a dystopia where they rent everything useful to the plebes.

So, don't help them do that.

Ask if anyone is building something new and of value that people can willfully choose or not, or if it is creating a dependency or forced, extractive, or exploitative relationship with the product/service. IF it is helping people avoid or fight abusers, asshats, or autocrats, do it. If not, choose something else.
> string theory made numerous testable predictions of what particles LHC should detect at different energy levels

No, it didn't. Particular supersymmetric extensions to the Standard Model made testable predictions of what particles the LHC should detect at different energy levels, none of which have panned out.

String theorists like to take credit for those predictions (or at least they did until the predictions became notorious for their wrongness) because they claim that string theory is what justifies those particular supersymmetric extensions to the Standard Model. That doesn't mean we should let them get away with it.

I think this is a reason why Leetcode style interviews are popular. They remove at least one type of bias of race - the ability to solve coding problems. If you can solve Online Assessment, Phone Assessment and Onsites, you keep moving on to the next round, regardless of your race or ethnicity. It is a way for companies to claim that there is no bias in hiring.
This does seem like even more gaslighting, you said:

" I would like to argue that being healthy and fit is not about the gym, or investing time in tracking calories."

Instead we should focus on on daily fun movements that we like to do."

Now those daily fun movements include the gym if you like the gym? But you still are saying they should do something daily instead of periodic gym, not that they could.

Right.

At this point a new aircraft program is easily $15B+ of development. That kind of money is hard to come by for a new aviation company.

Not just that, but this paticulary problem is also famous for crazy people claiming they have a proof. Until some mathmatician agrees with the proof (or even just indicates it is interesting), this is a non story.
I do too, but I also don't have a huge amount of experience sitting in an incredibly comfortable first class seat. I imagine I'd get a lot more done than I do in coach.

I think if I had a decent internet connection (happening more and more) and comfortable seat I'd happily take a 7/8 hour flight over a 5 hour one in a coach-style seat.
It actually does make sense, and is an important idea in complexity theory. In general, the problem of proving an arbitrary claim in ZFC isn't computable (this is just Godel's incompleteness theorem). if you confine your claims to smaller languages, you get smaller complexity classes. For instance, the problem of proving things in the propostional calculus is called BSAT, and is the quintessential NP complete problem.

In general a nice way of thinking about what NP is are the set of formula that have polynomial time checkable proofs.
I dont think supersonic will be a success. Remote has made business travel a lot less necessary and more predictable, so people are more likely to plan multi-hop business tours rather than flash transatlantic and transpacific flights. The failure of A380 is also telling: people are fine with flexible hops. But most of all people want to reduce their carbon footprint by minimizing travel distances, not travel times.
Airplane wifi is garbage and wildly unreliable.

Water is kept airborne by thermal energy. As thermal energy increases, one can expect the atmosphere to on average retain more moisture globally.

At the extreme of this effect, you get something like Venus.

It doesn't make sense to apply EEE here, but it doesn't stop every popular thread about .NET having someone claim EEE. But every time, it's a different stage. Sometimes it's the "embrace" stage, others say it's the "extend" stage, and others say it's "extinguish" stage.
There's a terrifying race between cars getting bigger/heavier/faster while being piloted by every-more distracted drivers, and autonomous driving technology. I'm hoping that those at Waymo are making the right tradeoffs between their own product's safety and the danger of not having a better-than-human driving system like theirs more widely deployed.
I don't think we have solved image generation with DALLE-2 yet. There are still many challenges before we move on to video:

- generating drawing that upon close inspection don't have obvious defects.

- generate hand drawn text.

- being able to replicate the same character along multiple angles consistently with the same style.

I feel like this is going to become increasingly hard because there are many things in drawing that can't be capture quite well with words.

It's analogous to code being more expressive than no-code drag and drop.
For certain issues, this one included, it’s because I would never work with someone with those views. Being against marriage equality is one of those disqualifying views.

I do work for myself, but in previous roles if I had found out about that, I would have made a change, but I’m reasonably confident it wasn’t the case in my managers or leadership. That said, perhaps someone was secretly against marriage equality, but I’d rather work with a bigot that feels they need to keep their hateful opinions a secret than with a bigot that feels they can be open about it.
>One of the reasons Marx is so popular is that his writing is vague enough that people can read a very wide range of meaning into the words.

I don't think this is true, and I say this as someone who's read Marx (almost) back to back. The ambiguities are sometimes mathematical, and there are debates as to meaning in some places, but the overal thesis and critiques are anything but vague, whether you agree with them or not.
That looks cool! Though it looks like it only works for Java-based Lambdas, unfortunately.

Does it only work with HTTP Lambdas / manual invocations, or does it also play well with others, like SQS subscriptions? I think that's the biggest pain point for local Lambda development with the AWS-provided tooling for me right now, as detailed in a blog post I wrote a while ago[0].

All the official tooling only lets you do HTTP calls and manual invocations for locally running Lambdas, which means you can't really test architectures comprised of multiple Lambdas, or where Lambdas are just a part of the whole setup.

FRP is like OOP. For some problems, there is a level of granularity where it's an absolute killer, and nothing gets even nearly as effective. But if you write it with too much granularity, it will completely destroy your code. (And with too little granularity, it will be useless.)

This phrase alone: "data-flows that go through multiple modules" is a very good indication that you broke things down too much, and should have ditched the FRP abstraction on a higher level.
Eh, the aircraft manufacturers fuck up market projection too.

Boeing has almost entirely ceded replacement of its own 757 and 767 to Airbus since it offers nothing in that midsize range today. Airbus fucked up thinking that the A380 was going to make money, and it took them a while to get the A350 right despite pressure from airlines to actually compete with the B787.
Indian Government at the present form is kind of an extension of British Raj. It's not far fetched idea to think in this term, because all the system set up by the British during British Raj is still there and no new change. Even the constitution is literally by and large Victorian Laws and still continue to be so with minor amendments.

If you consider the current system as status quo, and the elites in New Delhi, definitely benefit from it.

But I believe it is going to change. Mainly, due to the nationalists, of the Hindu kind. They want to bring in Indian ethos or so they say and that would probably mean the end of Democratic processes. It would be like Hindu version of Chinese Communist Party.

The real shame is that living in Delhi, I’ve seen caste come back very strongly in everyday discourse.

I’ve been here almost 20 years. This city used to be largely caste agnostic.

Now when I meet new people, especially outside the elite tech circles, they will casually mention their upper caste status (“As Brahmins, we don’t do xyz of course!”).

Even cars carrying caste stickers are more common.
> Theories don't get "falsified" except in rare cases and in the idealized fanciful histories of some philosophers of science.

Exactly. This is the problem.

Hey, I get it, we're not talking about Galileo rolling things down ramps here. Cosmology is huge and messy and there's going to be a lot of noise in all observations. I'm not claiming that the Big Bang is wrong, and I would never say that we should jettison decades of science because of some preliminary data from a weeks-old instrument. But, if the contradictory data were to mount, and be confirmed and reconfirmed by multiple researchers over time, well, I'd like to think that we'd have the intellectual courage to admit that this explanation doesn't seem right, even though we don't have a better one. We clearly don't, though.
Filters have to be cleaned, a process that is both expensive and dangerous at the bottom of a reservoir that high. Which is why the better solution is to put the intakes up a bit and allow the bottom of the reservoir to serve as a settlement pool.

I owned an AEG washing machine.

The plastic tub that contained the rotating drum was hung up on springs just like in any other washing machine.

The holes in the tub where the ends of the springs went through were just that, holes without any reinforcements.

The inevitable happened (because the strain in the plastic where it met the unforgiving steel of the springs was too much) and over the years, the holes wore through the plastic, resembling an oblong shape more and more.

I simply pressed a metal bushing into the enlarged hole on one side and on the other, I used two small strips of steel (with holes in it for the spring)
clamped to the tub with bolt and nut.

And voilà the machine easily did another two years (electronics now messed up).

This case is either a pitiable engineering failure or 100 % planned obsolescence.

Merely equipping the holes in the plastic tub with metal bushings would have easily made this part outlive every other failure.
