I didn't really touch calculus at any age where I was forced by law to be in school. It was only after the age where I chose to be in school that I "had" to learn it. I enjoyed it too much to worry about if it was useful! Although "something something well paid job, maybe actuary..." sprung to mind.

Guess that is me out then.
> productive and generally useful, like learning to

to reason.

it would be great to teach people critical thinking. at every age, at every year.

applied epistemology, rationality, etc. of course no need for those fancy words.

... and during those lessons at one point they could learn about the usefulness of models, and the usefulness of math, money, programming, etc.

but otherwise there's no point in ramming math/programming/finance directly into the heads of kids.
Google: "communication insights from movies." Key takeaways:
"If you are a good communicator, you have empathy.

How can we develop empathy? It’s just the mental exercise of putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and trying to see the world through their eyes.

The key, therefore, to meaningful communication is to use empathy to listen to others as if you were in their position trying to be understood."
This sounds like a very interesting technique. Does anyone know of a Scientific American level explanation that goes into a bit of depth about this?
It is very successful outside the US.

If I lived in the US I'd want to own a gun too - based on the political, social and economic climate.

In protocols at least the solution is to design one that assumes a very hostile network and is inherently built for it. None of the old first generation Internet protocols are like that.
I’m going to tell my wife I’m in “warrior mode” the next time I’m being a hangry jerk. I wonder how that will go.
This makes more sense than "you have to eat protein within one hour from exercising". Why? Because wouldn't it take a lot longer for the protein to get digested in your body? Possibly many hours, depending on the source of protein. And if, after exercising, I'm still digesting protein I've eaten several hours earlier, what difference can it make if I add some more that will just get digested several hours later, provided that the total amount of protein is kept constant.
By building, say, cooperatively scheduled systems of active objects (actors) accepting arbitrary messages Smalltalk style, like Windows 1. Or preemptively scheduled systems of typed ones, like Symbian. It’s not like the classic approaches are that much simpler, is my point.

Can't see any PII info in the demo, so the claim should be correct
If it can become as useful as FITS, there shall be much rejoicing...

Now if I could stop twitching from the five years of astronomical ontology analysis, I would feel the world has truly moved on.

The timing of previous efforts was swamped by XML. Trying to maintain a clear distinction between "how" (the file format) and "what" (the content of a file in that format) can get lost in the quest to hang on to the "why" (the intent of the formatted data).

I'm an optimist. There's way more experience now. Consensus around Python has helped immensely in keeping this grounded with the scientists. I have hope.
Pessimism is a barrier to fruitless progress
You need this book: Practical Linear Algebra: A Geometry Toolbox by Gerald Farin and Dianne Hansford. You can get older editions for pennies. The 1st edition was actually called The Geometry Toolbox for Graphics and Modeling.

You should also read Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra – Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares by Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe: https://web.stanford.edu/~boyd/vmls/
Bangalore is another city that recently (a few years ago) banned almost all billboards. And this has been a change very much for the better.

Just like your browser adblocker - you don't recognise noise & visual pollution until you live without it.
Society has been worse off since it got popular, it's a sewer spewing garbage at us in small chunks. I for one wish it implodes and cannot wait for that day. I don't care who built it, who owns it or how much it is worth on paper. It needs to go. And tiktok too, its the twitter for video. Cannot understand how any rational person can defend either one. Probably because attention span got destroyed so cannot remember life without it.

Everyone moans about centralization and screams "The internet is dead / the internet is 5 companies".... well if it implodes, maybe people will start writing proper blogs/arguments/documentation again and not try to make everything digestible in 15 seconds by the dumbest persons.

I wish that twitter will ban all politics/politicians off of it and push science topics instead. Ever since politicians hopped onto twitter, it's been a nightmare to be exposed to their thinking patterns and lies.

I don't/won' get joy from these platforms disappearing...it would be relief.

Your title seems misleading —

> has announced the selection of six sites that will host the first European quantum computers: in Czechia, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, and Poland. They will be integrated on site into existing supercomputers, and will form a wide network across Europe.

What has been deployed? It sounds like plans are being made, not that lights have turned on and fans are spinning.

Did I miss something?
For example, attaching fluorophores to molecules so you can track them in a microscope.
Good point, and does definitely push the numbers towards the risk being somewhat higher than I intuitively think of. I still won’t be fitting cameras all over my property though!
> Fast forward to today, and I am willing to bet good money that 99% of people who are writing software have almost no clue how a CPU actually works

The fact that many people do not know exactly enough what they are doing can be seen in the result. The people whose goal is to write as robust and efficient software as possible still do have to know and control the details. It's like driving a car; you do not have to be a engineer to drive one; but the more you want to push the limits of performance, the more you need to know about the details. And as far as AI is concerned, despite the predictions and full-bodied promises, we are obviously still a long way from replacing humans as drivers. I see no reason why software development should be any different. There are so many very complex issues involved that are not mentioned in the article. Just understanding the requirements of software will stretch the capabilities of AI for a few more decades.

There are multiple COW filesystems one can choose on Linux, the main notable ones being ZFS(yes, the same one as FreeBSD) and Btrfs.
Cool idea! I can imagine something like that going viral. A social game of sorts.
Yes of course! What I'm saying is that neither is better in all contexts. There's a lot of nuance.
They also claim 100 million subscribers, so that's 140,000 cheats. Since if you're cheating you probably do quite well (I pity the engine that could lose to me!), that's likely most of the high-rated players on their site.

And actually this tallies quite well with my experience of amateur physical sport, where at the lower levels everyone's honest and sporting and it's all great fun, but as soon as you get to the point where people are putting their heart and soul into the game, everyone's cheating, everyone knows everyone else is cheating, and anyone who's not cheating might as well give up and go home, as far as winning things is concerned.

Once you put money on it, and you're playing against people you're never likely to meet in real life, Jesus I can't imagine what it's like.
Wow, there's a lot of labeling and stereotyping going on in the article and comments. I think there's too much absolutism going on about pessimists and optimists - it's really a continuous range that shouldn't be applied as absolutes.
I think you can encrypt ethernet comms too using 802.1x RADIUS. That's as secure as Wi-Fi and removes the need for an isolated network (which, when unencrypted isn't as secure as you think, e.g. MiTM). Ideally you connect via both but that's overkill for most use cases.
If its about hardware security measures it may be its spatial cost.
Having each circuit / subcircuit bring its own safety is certainly gonna be subobtimal when optimizing for size.

On the software side I reckon the driving circuit is the deciding factor, which a vendor (of displays) can't control.
Definitely check this out. It's super cool.
Facebook has spent so much time trying to reinvent their products to be like other products they have failed to innovate at every turn. Worse, they have products that have lost much of their original appeal.

In fact, Facebook has never even copied well. I can’t think of a time that they pulled a Microsoft and successfully copied a product sufficiently enough to hold off the competition. Their best business moves have all been acquisitions.
This community has a lot of the techbro libertarian types in it. That kind of person idolises Musk.
But trees are trivially linarizable. What will you do when you need to describe a graph, when there's some direct relationships between sub-systems?

(Yes most programming languages use trees, it has some advantages. But most people program in excel anyway.)
Would be very entertaining for us! But probably a bad idea for the investors considering how tightly they've agreed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33089373
This feels like a "terrorist/freedom-fighter" thing and so is effectively saying nothing.

Like, Bill Gates accepts climate change is happening, that we should do something to avert the problems, and thinks that we can do that as a species. He thinks that renewables and EVs etc. will all help, but aren't enough and we should look for newer solutions. He has invested in multiple different solutions, presumably because he thinks some will be needed but not all will work.

So he's a pessimist, pessimist, optimist, optimist, pessimist, optimist, optimist/pessimist. And that's one person on one idea.

I agree with some of his opinions and methods, but disagree with others. I don't mind him investing in nuclear things, I just wish he'd tone down his 'pessimism' about renewables when pitching them because overall I think that is unhelpful, untrue and unnecessary.

He gets many of his downer talking points from Vaclav Smil, who is a grumpy pessimist about both the science and politics of climate change and I think personifies the "Pessimism sounds smart. Optimism sounds dumb" idea.

But does that mean "pessimism" is bad in the abstract? I don't think so.
It's very common in a range of hardware throughout the years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_poke

Also not mentioned there but on the MSX 1 you could 'burn out" the tape drive relay by switching it on and off very fast.
There's no evidence that Tesla has a unit cost problem. If anything the opposite is true. Tesla has significantly higher automotive margins than all mainstream competitors, despite producing 100% EVs with large expensive lithium battery packs. While their competitors mostly produce mature, highly cost optimised ICE vehicles.

The result is that Tesla has insane amounts of cash on hand and record-breaking profits, despite rapidly constructing/expanding three factories on three continents.

Interesting to see china develop its own processors. I don't know much about RISC-V or other processor, beside the openness what are the drawbacks and advantages ?
You still need a privacy policy that states that your server collects IP addresses (PII/personal data), but there's no need for a user to consent to it IMO because it's intrinsic information when accessing the website. Although you should state how long the IP addresses are stored within the logs/backups.

That blows my mind. I'm allowed to spend $10 in a bottle of alcohol or a packet or cigarettes, no questions asked, but I'm not allowed to spend those $10 in stocks of a tiny company unless I'm able to demonstrate that I sleep with the founders or make their lunch or run their accounting, or that I have so many millions on my name that investing $10 without doing any of the above really could not harm me.
That doesn't justify horrifically slow applications. It just seems like Microsoft isn't fit for purpose.

Marketing/Sales tools and widget hurt your SEO
Most of the websites use tools like Google Analytics or chat widgets like Crisp or Intercom.

Though they have a purpose but they affect the load time of your website which affects the SEO score. You can check the same on Google Lighthouse.

The effective way to solve this is by delaying the script load by 3-5 seconds.

Here's a sample script to get it done.

Stories? Pretty much killed Snapchat.
Soo maybe it's neither and just heavily dependent on a) the social circles you are a part of, and b) your personal bias towards pessimism/optimism?

It's pure speculation, but it feels much more plausible than a society wide bias towards one or the other.
For real. So much of their thought process is predicated on wanting to tear down entirely the system and build something new, without even considering why it's like that in the first place. It leads me to think they don't have much real world experience, which, being young people, is accurate. It's the societal version of Chesterton's fence.

Interest rates an inflation are cross correlated, they need to be balanced.

Without inflation you dollar is still worth the same tomorrow, so you have no incentive not to just sit on it.

With inflation you are incentivised to invest and take risks to get ahead of inflation.
One of the smartest people I met as an undergrad at Berkeley was a theoretical chemistry PhD student. He was an extremely slow typist, with mostly hunt and peck. It would be frustrating for me because it would be like 1/4 my comfortable speed (20 vs. 80 wpm?). But being slow there made him faster, because he’d spend a little more time before typing thinking about what to type.

In the "Top 30 of 10484 Total Sites" section there are hosts and IPs.

If they remove the end of IPs and first part of hosts its considered 'anonymised' by matomo or goaccess. But you still are collecting IPs in the server logs and need a gdpr statement documenting it.
When the money was free (near zero interest rates), borrowing money to invest in capital was imminently responsible.
Attempt to prevent. As I recall, leaded had nozzles that were also larger than no lead but that didn’t stop people from using it and slaughtering their converters. People are ingenious in both good and bad ways - funnels and screwdrivers.

OTC medical matter isn’t regulated anywhere as tightly as active drugs. They’re supplements or food additives or other such things. Whole lot of that shelf space goes to stuff that’s not as useful or desirable as people think. And any ambiguity is naturally exploited to the max.
I'm not advocating for filling out the whole insides with epoxy. (Quite the contrary, I think it'd be great to have better markings on components, and have data sheets - and schematics - for them readily available. I mean it's ridiculous that the whole IP protection legal machinery is justified in the name of incentivizing invention and new works, but in practice all we got is cheaper and cheaper copies/derivatives of the same noname things.)

I think that when you read that a suspect was "seized" by police, the person writing it doesn't know what "seized" legally means, and they should have said "arrested" or "taken into custody" or something.
The problem is that everyone is aware of this, which in turn makes the threat useless - because if everyone agrees that its primary purpose is to scare and not to be used, nobody is scared anymore. This can only be countered by increasing the threat, and there are not so many ways to do it. So we are still quite close to having dramatic consequences that are not primarily intended but more the consequence of still ultimately ignoring the gravity of this all
Looks fairly rudimentary.
Even for MacBooks of the same generation, there’s a (significant, for me) hit when going from a US Mac keyboard to a UK one (enter key is all off).
> I’m not sure how you’re going to suggest “learning programming” rather than learning calculus, as calculus is a foundational element of all modern languages. For loops are a further generalization of Leibniz notation, in a rough but very real fashion.

Eh, I'm pretty much opposed to GP's assessment that calculus is useless; in fact, it is probably one of the biggest intellectual achievements of the past couple centuries and modern society would be unimaginable without it.

But I don't really see the connection with programming. Programming/CS is mostly discrete maths and little calculus (with some exceptions, like complexity theory, because it's just easier to talk about functions R -> R than Z -> Z, and numerical analysis, which is about how nice theorems break down when you have to work with messy approximations instead of the real values). Calculus is about the real numbers and we can't even encode the majority of real numbers on computers.

Honestly once you have so much money that you can no longer spend it all, any extra immediately goes into making you even richer. You eventually are able to sustain your luxurious life just from interest and investment returns, potentially requiring 0 work from you. There's no reason we should be accepting this when people are starving and homeless.
Legally, I'm pretty sure they couldn't.

Technically, this is true for any product which has a pathway for software updates. Arguably this includes nearly all models of car on sale today, which can have their software updated — even if the process is more cumbersome.

The key difference is that a Tesla vehicle can conveniently perform comprehensive whole-of-car updates while it's sitting in your garage, whereas many other cars can only have some systems updated during a service visit.

Regardless, I don't see how software updates being convenient could serve as the defining criteria for a manufacturer having "ownership over the vehicles they sell".

They will all could have used calculus at many points, and even more so algebra, combinatorics, statistics, and geometry (in game dev, UI work in canvas an many other places).

But many wont, because they don't know it, so they'll trust some random formulas handed over by others (perhaps in Stack Overflow) for some things, or constrain their work and output to what they know.

Same way somebody who doesn't know about X technique (not even that something of the sort exists), wont know that there could be a great solution to the problem he works on based on that. So he'll use a subpar solution (in performance, memory wise, or even correctness), working around his limitation - or be beholden to this or that library that offers it as a black box.

Take a simple example: scoring systems.

It's funny how many websites use crappy scoring implemented by a developer that 'doesn't have a use for math', and e.g. naively averages scores, and ranks a movie with two 10/10 reviews above a movie with a thousands of 9.9/10 reviews...
