There are people who feel strongly that one is only for electric, on non-electric, or combustion, or thermodynamic, or other classes of thing, kind of like a boat-vs-ship distinction. It is certainly more common to talk about an electric motor than an electric engine, for example.

That said, both terms have been used for a very long time for a very wide range of overlapping things. MIT has a nice history[0] of the words and why they are essentially synonyms in most cases (with engine being more appropriate to use in non-mechanical contexts like search engines and economic engines and motor being more appropriate to use as a gerund like motoring through something or motoring around the countryside).

What? I use my high school calculus every day since 30 years intuitively, knowing how things relate to each other through differentiation and integration helps me so much to model the world around me correctly. Having a good mental model about how distance, speed and acceleration relate to each other is just one example, and it's not obvious if you don't know the foundations of calculus.
Elon Musk is conservative with his wealth because it's mostly on paper - he would need to sell shares to get access to it. Johnny Depp's wealth was mostly in cash.

I wouldn't be surprised if Elon Musk only had about $1 billion liquid (aside from whatever goes towards paying known obligations, like the Twitter deal and tax bills), making him only 2x richer in cash terms than Johnny Depp at his peak.

Ask HN: Masters in Computer Science to learn more about low level programming?
Hello all,

I want to learn more about low level programming and thought a part-time masters might be a great way to do it.

I was curious if anyone here has done a masters and loved their professors (because I think professors make the class) in that area?

Searching online, I only saw Stanford and Carnegie Mellon mentioned for specifically systems and as a person with only a computer science minor and 3.5 GPA, I am not sure I would make the acceptance cut.

I saw George Tech online and U of Washington, but neither say anything too specific about the quality of the low level programming courses.

Thanks!

Arguably nuclear is more abundant and lower cost.

Well, the editor wars are over folks.

More seriously, Don Knuth is a treasure. One of the coolest things about computing science is how all the greats in the field are either alive, or within the living memory of people who are.
Except there are cases where nuclear emergencies do just pop up, take the Sendai earthquake in Japan for instance. Having some of the drugs ready to go seems like a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.

Cops doing their job in a routine way doesn’t make the news. Cops taking steps to de-escalate things and avoid killing someone doesn’t make the news. Cops killing someone (justified or not) typically does.

If every time you see a news report of a police officer killing someone, you come away thinking “police must just be killing people left and right”, you’re forming an inaccurate conclusion. If you get your news from anything that’s driven by attention/clicks (that is to say, approximately everywhere), it’s a doubly inaccurate conclusion.

Governments often have a tendency to think of stockpiles as indefinite items without a lifetime. But everything has a lifetime, as any good engineer would know.

"Let's stockpile nuclear emergency meds" is a good opportunity to forget about expirations and, 50 years from now, say "we're covered because in 2022 we stockpiled them and nothing happened since". Thankfully, as GP points out, this appears not to be the case... this time. But it did happen with Covid (and not just to the US! Many governments were guilty of this thinking)

Yes, 230 vs 250bn isn't much of a difference. However the question is liquidity.

If he has to sell 20bn of Tesla stocks that may lower the value of Tesla, thus pull his net worth down.

In addition some of his sponsors might pull out of the deal after seeing his erratic handling of the case, thus he has to provide even more liquidity. Which means selling off more Tesla, which reduces his control.
Interesting. I guess we’ll never get to meet any “real socialists” then.

If not it seems unfair to other high profile players.

A part of me seems to see this kind of automated analysis dangerously intrusive. Another part of me sees a big monetization potential for the platform.

What is Google Answers?

Google's search engine is a great way to find information online. But sometimes even experienced users need help finding exactly the answer they want to a question. Google Answers was an experimental product for users to get help from Researchers with expertise in online searching. Users could post a question to Google Answers and specify how much they were willing to pay for an answer. A Researcher then searched for the information they wanted and posted it to Google Answers. Users were only charged for questions only if and when an answer was posted to it. Other users may have also added comments to provide interesting perspectives to the data but were not paid for their posts. These questions and answers are now publicly viewable on the Google Answers website so other users can share the benefit of the research. We are no longer accepting new questions and answers.

What are you even talking about? I hazard to guess you have zero firearms training.

Of course people train to reload their firearms. Of course they train to reload their firearms during combat. It's not a musket for crying out loud.

This might all be fun and games for most of the people here, but for the folks that train and carry guns for a living - it's pretty darn serious. The things the uninformed masses expect, based on Hollywood movies and B-rated TV shows is dumbfounding and downright dangerous.

Some Advice for Young Founder
Some advice for a young founder. hello everyone, I’m an aspirant founder. In the last months I have write my idea for an startup, developed a mind map. I would like looking a co founder with matching Y combinator. However I’m afraid to be stupid because I don’t have degree and I have simple high school. What do you think? some advice?
I think the point of math is to learn other more advanced math.

Which is so useful to the few that will have jobs that need it, that they want to push it as hard as possible just to give them every possible advantage, because it's hard.

They want as many people in advanced STEM as possible, because that's basically like being a billionaire in terms of the level of wealth and comfort, and things like chemistry might solve some really big problems.

Also, a really large number of people still think math is something you actually use daily. These are people that still balance checkbooks and make budgets with paper and do woodworking with fractions instead of CAD apps.

Math really is useful to anyone who isn't comfortable letting a computer do half their thinking.

I might never even own a checkbook in my life, and I've never even used basic algebra IRL. But I can see why someone who never got comfortable with a "There's an app for that" mindset would think long division was a life skill.

I highly doubt I have the talent needed to ever learn a useful amount of math (My idea of useful is enough to get an EE or CS degree), so I don't make it a super high priority to get better at it.
I feel these numbers are always a bit misleading. Sure the processes takes 10 million gallons a day, but much of that water can be reclaimed and recirculated.

> “Conventional treatment of wastewater at semiconductor plants had recycled anywhere from 40 percent to 70 percent of water used in their processes,” explains Govindan. “Some manufacturers still only recycle 40 percent of the water they use.”

> However, over the past two years Gradiant has been working with semiconductor plants, improving their water reuse so that they're able to recycle 98 percent of the water they use. So, instead of bringing in 10 million gallons of freshwater a day from outside, these new recycling technologies mean they need to draw only 200,000 gallons of water from outside the plant to operate.

It may not technically be theft, but surely there’s an assortment of crimes committed by doing what he did, including but not limited to fraud, conspiracy, and interference with an investigation.
I like Powershell's implementation the best.
It’s a feedback loop where if there are no penalties for cheating then more people cheat which eventually forces people to cheat just to compete.

In a collage setting having a high number of cheaters reduces the value of a degree as people get used to graduates being incompetent. That also hurts non cheaters.
As someone graduating in 2024, honestly feels the same way.

Actually I read through the whole article and this doesn't really make sense. Most of her article is critical of the institution, then she just throws this in here, like the problem is too many people on their phones, which is rarely her concern before it. Or is she saying the institution requires her to be boring and this is the only one of limited ways she can entertain? I don't get it. I get it in a vacuum, but not in the greater context of the article.
"I cheat now in my employment. I work three full time jobs remotely and do the bare minimum in each."

Do you earn more from the three jobs than one job "honestly"? Perhaps ... but then it becomes complicated because I suspect you have to maintain three lots of "reality" to deal with each employer. Now it may be that you have managed full on parasite and are able to live with that and prosper. I'd keep an eye out over my shoulder if I was you.

Sociopathic behaviour can work for a while, quite a long while but eventually society might lose more than it can afford to easily lose and looks for scapegoats and then deals with it. Then you had better have some remarkable camouflage or discover the joys of summary justice.

You describe one unpleasant aspect of society that we all are aware of: the parasite. I'm warning you that society has fangs beyond the police and the law. We might call it natural justice or whatever but please do not fall afoul of it.

There is of course way more to your story and my response but please do be careful.
