My entire point is that grading on a curve is not the same "defining the curve such that X% of our people are at the low end".

The curve is defined by the organization. They can carefully examine it, refine it, backtrack how it's performed... or you can have someone clueless hear that so and so company fires Y percent, so let's tweak the curve until Y percent are at the "extremities"
Thank you, I totally forgot how nix-shell works. You're right, it should export the right env variables without makeWrapper.

I haven't used nixos in a while and I got confused about this because to install python packages globally I used `python3.withPackages` and that does use the wrappers.
> TLDR; The megapack was taken offline at the time of the fault, so it was not charging or discharging. A leak in the cooling system caused a short circuit in some component that started the fire. So the power to sustain the short and subsequent fire must have come from the internal pack.
Also, offline mode disabled all protection systems and monitoring communications, so they had no way of knowing anything was wrong until someone yelled fire.

Guix has a mechanism called search-paths which is defined for any package like Python that searches for things based on envars; it exports the relevant search paths into the environment.
Though it also has shell wrappers, which are essentially a hack around non-propagating dependencies: it allows you to expose things that would normally be visible to everyone, like executables, to just the specific program.
Surely part of the issue is that the ice at < 0C while the liquid portion is at 0C (because of the equilibrium thing) - but it's the liquid portion, not the ice, that's most physically connected to the inner container you're trying to freeze (this is the important point).

If you add ice you reduce the equilibrium temp and as a result the < 0C ice temp can be passed to the liquid phase and as a result on to the inner con tain er where you're making the ice cream

>There has never been a period of time where the explicit rejection of objective reality in lieu of ideology has been a significant part of the United States "establishment".

The whole point is that objective reality ends very quickly past mathematical theorems. Slaves were not people according to the establishment, and it was common sense and objective fact that whites were superior. Until it wasn't. According to the mainstream homosexual people were objectively, factually mentally ill and evil, and then they weren't.

Back when those ideas were mainstream, there were always people who rejected those "objective realities", but most people had a harder time spreading ideas which went against the mainstream then we do today. In other words, minority voices are louder now then any other time in history, and our sense of an objective reality relies on having a stable narrative grounded in the majority voice.

As a rule, the economy should react to the rate of change of the money supply, not to any absolute value.

I do believe the US is in one of those moments where this isn't true, there is a mountain of money moving from a small niche into the main market, and the rate of this movement will determine what happens, not the change in total money supply. But even then, the size of the 2020 supply is irrelevant.

More reason against requiring it in all cars.
Yup. I too used to think the same way as the GP. But then I realized that most of society’s advancements in the west started with two things. Technological advancements, and fiat currency. No one takes any risks when you’re risking a finite resource like gold. And having that money available has been put the great use for technological advancements that pay everyone back down the road.

If, and when the system collapses, who cares? Advancements gained through technology will be with us.

> I think they assume that an LVM PV is encrypted and could contain the block filesystem and swap volumes as LVs. There is already a boot-time process to unlock such an LVM setup. Why should the swap require a separate encryption key?

Again, the reason why it's different is the security model for memory is different from the filesystem. This is exactly what I was getting at: the fixed key. Encrypted swap volumes typically are set up to use ephemeral keys that are "forgotten" when you power down. The idea is that you only have access to that memory while the computer is running. When you boot up again, whatever data is in the swap partition is just noise. As mentioned in the link I provided (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnableHibernateWithEncrypt...), the current solution is to switch to using a fixed key, much as you described. That fundamentally changes the security model, and not in a subtle way.

I think there's a solution that more closely approximates the security model, with only a minor compromise: when you boot up, you generate an ephemeral key in the secure enclave, and use that to encrypt your swap. When you hibernate, the secure enclave encrypts all the metadata (including the ephemeral key) into a sealed state that is stored on disk with the swap information. When you restore, the sealed data is read back into the secure enclave (and erased) and it can then decrypt swap as needed. This still means the hibernated memory state is fully recoverable by whomever is able to authenticate with the enclave, but that's what everyone wants. On the upside, if you shut down the machine (rather than hibernate), the ephemeral key is lost, so there's no way anyone can recover what's on your swap, even if they have access to whatever fixed key(s) you have used for your LVM volumes.

If you're really paranoid, you could even generate a new ephemeral key on restore and reencrypt the entire swap volume with the new ephemeral key, though I'd question what realistic threat model that would really address.
Fire departments have had to buy special equipment to put them out. One of them is pretty much an underbody nozzle similar to those pressure washer attachments used to clean under your car.

Since car batteries contain both the oxidizer and reducer, they are self sustaining. This makes smothering the fire impossible. The only way to slow or stop them is to prevent thermal runaway in uncompromised cells with a ton of water.

In the case of this article, it seems like quantum tunneling could be damaging to DNA. I wonder if any other aspect of life depends on quantum tunneling to function?

This reminds me of a strategy I used to play with when I was coding bots for chess in college. Rather than searching for the best play per move, I optimized for the move that resulted in states with the largest search space for my opponent (and/or the largest differential in search spaces for me versus my opponent), _then_ searched the upper percentile for the best play.

This strategy worked really well against other students' bots, but not terribly well against the students themselves. I'd be interested to see if it worked better/worse against pro players who think more algorithmically/analytically.

I’m aware that is the case. If they weren’t doing that, though, it would result in a massive uncontrolled level of tightening. I don’t see how it’s somehow a bad thing that they are being intentional about the draw down.

Niemann is currently not under any USCF or FIDE sanctions afaik, and there are lots of open tournaments that anyone can play in as long as they are not under sanctions, so Niemann is unconditionally allowed to play in those. The Sinquefield and Baer tournaments are closed invitationals and some people are of the view that people with cheating records shouldn't receive invitations to those sorts of events. That is an intermediate view, between people saying an online cheating record shouldn't affect OTB playing opportunities, and other people saying cheating anywhere should mean getting banned everywhere.

Your view on the rights and wrongs of this are up to you. I don't claim special wisdom. I can observe that other people's views are all over the place. I do know that your expectations should be formed by seeing what happens in reality, rather than by what you would prefer to see happen.

That is exactly the sort of assumption that caused Ehrlich to miss the target in The Population Bomb: there turned out not to be a finite amount of food. Or, if the amount is finite, we were "currently" (at the time) producing a tiny subset, as evidence by the vastly-higher quantity of food we're producing now.

As a fellow response comment illustrates, the arrogance of believing you know the "optimal number of humans" means missing out on the amazing and wonderful things future humans are going to make possible.

This reply is pretty good. As a Scala developer, many people have told me that a lot of features of the Scala compiler are niche and will go away. I never thought so - and now a good part of then has appeared in Typescript and some in Rust. Python is also pushing forward with optional typing.

Therefore I think the chance is high that even if there are currently not too many languages with advanced features (generics are not advanced btw), we will see more and more of them in the future.

> Whether the Fed actually has the technical tools to do this is another question. Most of what it does is mass psychology - trying to convince the markets of its resolve one way or another.

Who else can buy up trillions of t-bills and mortgages at a moments notice? When they do this, it drops rates. The Fed offered up historically cheap money to borrowers to keep the economy rolling during the pandemic and housing crisis.

> But to the US Treasury, they're just a mechanism to fund the deficit.

The deficit doesn't get funded as well when the Fed is not buying. It's not merely a technicality. Someone else will have to fill the hole left behind by the Fed leaving the market, and that usually means higher rates to draw in money from elsewhere to feed the t-bill and mortgage market.

It's so very a losing gamble. USA (and NATO by association) must have very good reasons to push the Russian dictator into a corner.

Got a good chuckle out of this.

My experience with calibration at multiple companies is it's where you realize not only does your review depend on how happy you make your manager, but how politically savvy your manager is coupled with how much you were able to impress the people on the calibration committee.

It also gives your manager a nice out if you work hard, but they don't quite like you. All they have to do is not fight for you in calibration and you'll never be able to get much beyond a "meets expectations" rating.

>Correction, or addendum here: the actual dissolution of the salt is an endothermic process, so even if there was no ice, the temperature of water decreases when salt is dissolved.

That's technically true, but it's a rather negligible amount.

Salt has an enthalpy of dissolution of +3.9kJ/mol (1) and a molar mass of 58.44g/mol (2), for roughly 67J/g.

For comparison, water=ice has an enthalpy of fusion of 334J/g (3), and you'll be adding at least three times more ice than salt (as max salt concentration is around 25% g/g (4) ). When you take this into account, it's a whole order of magnitude of difference, so for practical purposes you can outright ignore the heat being consumed by the dissolution of the salt.

If the primary benefit of adding salt was improving thermal coupling through liquid by melting some of ice then you could achieve the same effect by adding some tap water. Which in my opinion would be a lot simpler and less messy than getting salt involved. Some energy would be lost to cool down tap water, but as mentioned in the article phase transition takes a lot more energy than changing temperature of water.
