That's true in the ground's frame of reference.

But in the plane's frame, where both planes are roughly stationary and the wind is moving 100s of mph backwards, bullets fired backwards move faster.

And for aerial combat I would argue the plane's frame is the important one.
So interesting, and really seems somehow related to how we dream, hallucinate.. or even experience reality?

> I think the challenge I have is that since you’re getting IP address that will be an opportunity to abuse.

Yes! And we are migrating to the new package / infrastructure because of this - https://github.com/iterative/telemetry-python (DVC's sister tool MLEM is already on it and it's not sending (saving) IP addresses, nor using GA or any other third-party tools, data is saved into BigQuery and eventually we'll make publicly accessible - https://mlem.ai/doc/user-guide/analytics to be fully GDPR compatible). It's a legacy system that DVC had in place. There was no intention to use those IP addresses in some way.

> I think perhaps the only other way would be to support an automated distro that doesn’t include it so users are at least able to easily choose a version.

Thanks. To some extent brew-like policy (not sending anything significant before there is a chance to disable it and there is clear explicit message) should be mitigating this, but I'll check if it works this way now and if it can be improved.

I broadly agree with the wider point he is making. And he is free to leave any association he wants. But isn't Dr Haidt jumping the gun? Surely a valid statement would be "this research is just research, it does advance "equality" or fight racism". Wouldn't such a statement on good quality research be much more effective to communicate the core point?
You know, deleting your account is way more effective.
>I'm genuinely missing your point

Yes, you are missing my point. I am not insinuating anything, I am stating directly that some people might be biased against unusual (to them) names. Names that are difficult to say, spell, etc. depending on the language, or just out-right stereotypical prejudice with a name (which is what these studies just assume). I am not saying that any of this is ok, people rarely get to pick their names. What I am saying is that it might not all be based on the color of people's skin.

Depends how "hard" realtime we're talking. For tighter deadlines you'd usually use QNX or PikeOS or the like. The bigger issue is that for higher task frequencies you probably don't want to use big microprocessors, but microcontrollers that don't have a MMU but a MPU max. That rules out Linux quite often (plus space constraints).
Lift weights. Just don't overdo it and injure yourself. Don't sit or stand for long periods; get up, get a drink, give your eyes a rest too.

As you age, strong legs will keep you walking longer. Run and jump; loading your bones with more than 1x your body weight is crucial for maintaining bone density and avoiding those broken hips later in life. Leg strength has even been correlated with brain health.

Sure, every application does that, but the kernel could do it better. What if I'm writing to two filesystems and one of them might have high latency sometimes? Do I make two threads for disk I/O to avoid starving one write when another is slow? The reasons for multiplexing network I/O apply to disk as well.
The future could be now if you paid your employees a fair wage and didn't run apartheid assembly plants.
Upscaling is more useful if you need some crazy framerates (like 240 fps) with high graphics settings for some reason. Even most high end GPUs can't handle that for demanding games on common resolutions. Or more reasonably for mid range and lower end GPUs which are just weaker and can't handle even 144 fps for the above without upscaling.

But low end GPUs use case isn't relevant for streaming since they can have highest end ones. So we are talking about those who want to push those crazy framerates, and I don't think networks allow that even if GPUs can sustain them.

Some middle case can happen I suppose if you get an outlier super demanding game, but I always saw it as questionable to push max settings if you are ready to trade image quality for more framerate with upscaling anyway. I'd rather stick to lower framerate and keep image quality of max settings intact by avoiding upscaling. So I just don't see a value in having it, let alone in dedicated hardware vs something like FSR which can work on regular compute units.

I don't know why everyone assumes that ML researchers have some big map of the future where they can make decisions like "yeah, let's choose this branch over here, where AI gets good at generating art first, rather than that other one where it cures cancer a decade earlier." The breakthroughs come where they come, and no one knows where some model architecture will have an application in the future.
Michaux takes a long time to get to the point, even at double speed. None of what I have heard in the first 20 minutes is new to anyone who followed the Peak Oil debate back in the 2005-2009 period. His estimate of required battery capacity for short-distance and light vehicles, around 62 TWh, matches a quick back-of-the envelope calculation, so that's good.

The description for the video is unpromising, blurring the distinction between reserves (known, characterized, owned) and resources (varying degrees of knowness, characterization, unowned), and implying we face a binary situation: plenty of resources, and then nothing. The world is not like that.

There is always a spectrum of possibilities. We have an extremely abundant adequate substitute for copper for electrical uses: aluminum. The bulk of electrical distribution systems is steel-cored aluminum wire.

Is copper better? Yes. Is it so much better than aluminum that the latter is unusable? No.

Aluminum's lower electrical and thermal conductivities will require design changes (higher voltage, lower current), and overall efficiency won't be as good as with copper. Very sad. But aluminum is still perfectly usable for EV motors.

And there are ways to eke out the copper we have, such as copper-clad aluminum wire (CCAW), which is already extensively used in loudspeakers. Some high currents flow in subwoofer voice coils.

As for poor people being left behind, resource prices are not the cause. Very few mineral resources are used in providing education and healthcare, and none at all in depressing wages or preventing houses from being built.

(And the high-priced vehicles being sold now pay for the R&D to improve the new technologies. The first portable computers and cell phones were ridiculously expensive toys for the rich, as well.)

Yeah, there also a verbal oneupmanship going on it seems. Or just an absurd exaggeration for attention. People even use the word rape in the context of experiencing a minor setback. And on top of that you have this recent fad of adding "literally" in front of this kind of thing. So "damn, I lost" is now "damnit bro, I literally got raped right there!"

So does it means you need to specify rules for all unique logging operations you have? I was under impression that the thing can do it automatically... In a runtime based on receiving repetitive logs or something like that. If it doesn't, it is still a hell of work to compile and maintain the list of rules for your applications.

The connection is that miners seek the cheapest energy out there, which is renewables. Renewables (solar, wind) are highly variable in their output so to get stability you need to deploy A LOT of it (or couple it with for exmaple nuclear, hydro or fossil fuels). Bitcoin can act as a "buyer of last resort" for the producer, thus letting electricity producers build out larger deployments at a lower risk.

Bitcoin mining has a whole host of pretty cool properties that help stabilize the grid as well. Here's a two part article about it: https://braiins.com/blog/bitcoin-mining-the-grid-generators
Those "turret fighters" were basically total failures. At least one of the British attempts wound up being used for anti-aircraft defense, parked on the side of the runway after having their engines removed.

The Northrop P-61 had a turret, which wound up being used in the locked forward position due to it being unreliable.

Simple, it's a matter of range, weight and balance. All other things being equal, a point defense cannon would probably be useful. However, those weapons are heavy and decidedly impractical for even something as heavy as a buff.
Depends on what you mean by "failing storage" but IMX it does warrant an immediate stop (with or without reboot depending on circumstances). Yes, for some kinds of media errors it's reasonable to continue, or at least not panic. Another option in some cases is to go read-only. OTOH, if either media or memory corruption is detected, it would almost certainly be unsafe to continue because that might lead to writing the wrong data or writing it to the wrong place. The general rule in storage is that inaccessible data is preferable to lost, corrupted, or improperly overwritten data.

Especially in a distributed storage system using erasure codes etc., losing one machine means absolutely nothing even if it's permanent. On the last storage project I worked on, we routinely ran with 1-5% of machines down, whether it was due to failures or various kinds of maintenance actions, and all it meant was a loss of some capacity/performance. It's what the system was designed for. Leaving a faulty machine running, OTOH, could have led to a Byzantine failure mode corrupting all shards for a block and thus losing its contents forever.

BTW, in that sort of context - where most bytes in the world are held BTW - the root filesystem is more expendable than any other. It's just part of the access system, much like firmware, and re-imaging or even hardware replacement doesn't affect the real persistence layer. It's user data that must be king, and those media whose contents must be treated with the utmost care.

However I’m seriously bound by my lack of technical knowledge. I can try and read the docs, but web development is a huge topic. Probably can’t afford to hire because I want to start small, maybe free service for at least a year.

> Rust is arguably less safe in that aspect than C, due to the general Rust practice of panicking upon unexpected conditions

For clarification, I responded to this in particular because "safety" is being conflated with "panicking" (bad for kernel). I reckoned "Unexpected conditions" means "arbitrary programs", hence my response, otherwise you could just remove the call to panic.
Agreed, by figuring out where to look, we are far more likely to actually find (or not find) instances and then update the model accordingly.
Could you point to a source claiming there's not enough uranium ? As far as i can find uranium is not considered rare https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-c...

Also could you point me to any meaningful and scalable storage implemented or being implemented anywhere in the world? Also what about materials used for solar and wind? Both requires insane amounts of material where a very significant part of that is rare earth.

As far as I've seen the best bet for wind so far is power to x . X because we haven't figured out of it should be hydrogen, ammonia or something else, both of which would be very impractical as we've got no infrastructure to support it and it's also very inefficient in reality you'd loose like 80% of the energy generated so you'd have to build so much more capacity.
It worked great until you had to install it on a machine that didn't have the vb runtime. The browser removed that aspect which was handy.
I saw the poker event live. I genuinely think she was not cheating. She was only 47% to win the hand after her call of the all-in bet and while the play was marginally +EV, it wasn’t much.

Far more likely was she misread J4 as J3, especially as she literally said “threes are good, right?” during her deliberations.

Cheating in this spot just makes no sense and there has been zero evidence to indicate it was anything more than what she said - she misread a 4 as a 3.
The real problem is that the Jetsons promised us flying cars. Still no flying cars.
The poker one doesn’t make sense to me in any direction. Even if she was cheating and had full knowledge of the other player’s cards, her call still doesn’t make sense. Giving back the money to the other player was a really suspicious move though. It seems like she mostly just didn’t really understand what she was doing.
In US they basically discourage or warn people not to use sauna if they have any kind of condition, including being pregnant or have been consuming alcohol.

In Finland most pregnant women have always gone to sauna and they haven’t observed any kind of birth defects any more than elsewhere.

Common sense applies and usually expected from adults in Finland. If you start to feel light headed or otherwise bad, you should leave the sauna and drink water or cool off.
things that I don't like about it:

* git diff doesn't work in any sensible way

* if you forget and do `git add` instead of `git annex add`, everything is fine, but you've now spoilt the nice thing that git annex does of de-duping files. (git annex only stores one copy of identical files)

* for our use case (which I'm sure is the wrong way of doing things) it's possible to overwrite the single copy of a file that git annex stores, which rather spoils the point of the thing. I do think it's down to the way we use it, though, so not specifically a git annex problem

The _great_ thing about git annex is it can be self-hosted. For various reasons we can't put our source data in one of the systems that uses git-lfs.

We've got about 800 GB of data in git annex and I've been happy with it despite the limitations.

I think parquet won't help with images, video, ML models.

Also, one thing is to physically provide a way to version data (e.g. partitioned parquet files, cloud versioning, etc, etc), but another one is to also have a mechanism of saving / codifying dataset version into the project. E.g. to answer the question which version of data this model was built with you would need to save some identifier / hash / list of files that were used. DVC takes care of that part as well.

(it has mechanics to cache data that you download, make-file like pipelines, etc)

The digital vegan idea is interesting and I hadn't heard of it -- thank you. I think physiological metaphors have much to offer in thinking about online life. A sort of 'emotional hysteresis' akin to insulin resistance is another one I reach for frequently; and, like with IR, fasting seems to be a surprisingly effective intervention for the digital version of the pathology, though of course you have to apply it repeatedly to counter the 'dietary' excess.

> Is modern life flattened with respect to emotion? Incendiary Twitter traffic and torrents of "hate speech" everywhere would imply otherwise.

Maybe an example will be helpful to make this less abstract.

Most Westerners are far safer, physically, than they have ever before. They are less likely to starve to death, get eaten by a bear, be murdered, die of exposure or of an infected hang-nail. And yet, I suspect that even in the midst of this relative luxury and safety, we are just as miserable as when danger from all causes was drastically increased.

Put more mathematically, I suspect that people react emotionally to a problem of magnitude 4 as people 200 years ago reacted to a problem of magnitude 9, because progress has skewed the distribution of modern hazards so radically that the far ends of the scale are almost never experienced. So in a world of small problems, the largest small problems feels large because the brain is bad at absolutes.

I always thought anti-racist meant “this will stop with me.” My understanding was that anti-racism meant, if you hear/see something racist, take a part in ending it. I think you can be anti-racist, and walk the fine line of being forgiving of unintentional missteps, while also helping people realize why what they did was wrong.
