> Each formal model will allow you degrees of freedom that are ruled out by other models because the axioms differ.

Nope. All QM interpretations produce the same predictions. They are formally equivalent in the same sense that lambda calculus and TMs are equivalent.

The reason it is hard to unify Bohm and relativity to produce a Bohmian quantum field theory is that Bohm is committed to an intuitionistic metaphysics that requires there to be an answer to which measurement of an entangled system was performed first, and so it requires the imposition of an arbitrary foliation of space-time. This is a metaphysical requirement, not a physical one. That is what makes it hard to extend Bohm to a field theory.

> No experiment can produce an unbounded amount of information.

No single experiment can, but over time you can do an unbounded number of experiments. Note that I am deliberately using the term "unbounded" rather than "infinite". These are not the same. An unbounded quantity is finite at any given time, but it can keep growing without an upper bound.

(In actual fact all of these numbers are probably finite and bounded because the observable universe is finite and the second law of thermodynamics puts a limit on how many experiments you can do.)
It’s an interesting move. Amidst a strengthening US dollar, a sharp drop in Chinese food security that will likely depend on the US, and a pretty severe real estate crisis unfolding in China; China’s economic leverage has likely done a 180 and begun to look very vulnerable.

Removing dependence on China for things, increasing China’s dependence on an independent and functional Taiwan, and just generally establishing pecking order is probably a really strong geopolitical move.

I would expect that China is further shy of making serious retaliations at the moment due to dependence for food and fear of manufacturing moving to India.

Read requests, sure. In that particular instance, I was testing a write heavy workload for my Master's Degree with K6 at the time: https://k6.io/

The idea was to see how performance intensive COVID contact tracking would be, if GPS positions were to be sent by all of the devices using an app, which would later allow generating heat maps from this data, instead of just contact tracing. Of course, I talked about the privacy implications of this as well (the repository was called "COVID 1984"), but it was a nice exercise to demonstrate horizontal scaling, the benefits of containerization and to compare the overhead of Docker Swarm with lightweight Kubernetes (K3s).

So yes, write heavy workloads are viable with Ruby on limited hardware, read heavy workloads can be even more easy (depending on who can access what data).
This isn't about a drug. Those have some very specific conditions under which they have to do their thing. This is about a mechanism for transducing oscillatory forces to a neuronal signal, and it describes the exact structure. There are still holes in the pathway, but it looks very interesting to me, and (from my lay understanding) generic enough. You wouldn't say that a study into a rat's retina is completely irrelevant to human eye sight, would you?

I can see how that would be frustrating and sort of causes a misuse of public funds.

Feels like infrastructure queries shouldn’t come under FOI when i first consider it. Then i suppose there might be legitimate reasons to care; Perhaps things like conflict of interest in contract allocation, or things not being put out to tender.

As you mention, it feels like publicly funded things should be able to be inspected by default, so perhaps having it out in the open all the time is best. That requires funding and it requires a commitment at a governmental level to get it right.

With the lack of funding provided to public institutions in the uk though it’s pretty hard even for the basics to be done well. I’d better not get on to that subject lest i get testy.

Back to your main point though, I don’t know how to differentiate (with a set of unambiguous rules) between the trivial and non-trivial in a way that doesn’t accidentally prevent real use cases.

Perhaps the way FOI is set up is at fault here rather than the people who make use of it, trivially or otherwise.
I think the gendered aspect here comes from Wade's willingness to disregard Wikipedia's rules and Wikipedia's general permissiveness toward her behavior in particular so far, not merely her initiative and productivity.

If it had been allowed, you can pretty much guarantee there would have been an effort to put every scientist on Wikipedia by now. Wikipedians love science and they love the niche, which is why notability thresholds exist in the first place. And they are taken seriously and enforced - that's why there's so much discussion of them on Wikipedia. For whatever reason, these rules matter to the community.

This is not to say Wade did anything wrong. But this is the context.

Hopefully this all spurs a reconsideration of the rules. The current situation is obviously unfair.
I picked one at random and the subject didn’t seem like someone I’d expect to have a bio on Wikipedia — some awards but no big achievements in her field were cited, much less linked to. Random Professor Earning Tenure, Watch This Space!

That said, I’m in favor of everyone on the planet having a Wikipedia entry if anyone wants to make it for them. I’d love to do the same thing for lesser-known artists, but I’m lazy and I assume the WikiLords would erase everything. But maybe not, based on this… maybe I’m just lazy!

I agree that there's a lot of chaff on wikipedia, but your complaint is immediately followed by a method to make the problem worse. One of the bigger problems I've observed when the (high?) bar isn't enforced is things like people writing their own articles for the sake of self promotion.
I'm not surprised that engines that prioritize "fresh" results only turn up claims that the most recent version of Windows is the fastest. Even so the most recent version does have higher system requirements than its predecessor.

Also your search fu is weak. Try: "Windows new version" faster old version

I've never understood that argument. You could always do what jQuery does with vanilla JS. How could it be otherwise?

Meanwhile the author does the same omission of important details that Deno is being criticized for: the M1 has 8 cores, yet there's no mention about how those are used in the Deno vs. Bun benchmark. Did Deno only run on one core? Did they run 8 Bun instances in parallel? Who knows.

I’m not saying it can’t happen, just that it’s pretty rare. SSDs are not infinite capacity and 100G networking isn’t common even in data centers - and more to the point, what really matters is latency: how many cycles can your CPU exercise in the time it takes for a round-trip network request is usually orders of magnitude greater than your business logic.

Again, not saying it never happens but I’ve rarely seen the kind of microbenchmark this story is about end up correlating with real application performance. I have seen developers get all fired up in some religious war and endanger their entire project trying to see benefits which never materialized, though, a common feature there was this focus on toy benchmarks rather than measuring the whole system or what they could do at the app level if they weren’t supporting some niche framework.

>Why would that be a problem?

I imagine it would be harder to navigate, especially in a few decades, if every combination of First name, Last name had a couple entries. There's already 7 for my name. Sure, you could say its not that much harder to navigate... but you can't say it makes things easier or "better."

I would honestly defer to Wiki contributors and maintainers on this, as I'm sure they have better reasons... but my intuition just tells me that letting Wikipedia be a dumping ground for any person that published a paper would just not end well.

>Maybe it already is way too bloated, and a wikipedia 10% the current size is better?

Perhaps. I think they should do a lot more "merging" of topics.
There isn't a good reason for high bandwidth hardware RNG. You seed a PRNG with a slow HW RNG and you're good to go.

I read the whole blog... there is mention of a Perl script and also some expect script code on there, haven't used it seen Perl since 2008 but I guess antique computers have no Python.

Also, having worked with Arduino Nanos and then moved on to ESP32s which have lots of RAM, Wifi and OTA updates, I see a lot of the issues could have been sidestepped.
I've built some IR targets that trigger from laser nerf guns and my own IR demodulator from raw electronic components so am a little familiar with IR libraries on Arduino and such myself. Good job at the end - the control loop should work to keep those antique servers at decent temperatures.
(b) is something that needs to be taught in media literacy courses: for any controversial subject, always read the talk page as well as the article. Easier said than done when there are 300+ pages of archives, but there are often FAQs present to cover the biggest issues, and at any rate, who said understanding controversial topics would be easy?

But for controversial battleground subjects, I think (e) is actually not so common, because the opposing sides of edit wars do actually ruthlessly check each others’ sources, looking for any excuse to disqualify them.
What do you mean, without filters? Stable diffusion does not have any filter as far as I know.
The frequencies displayed are UHF, in the European PMR446 band, which is nearly identical to American FRS but not close enough to use the same radios. Call that a minor miss on the author's part, change those 446's to 462's and label it FRS, it'd be good.

Exact numbers notwithstanding, it's UHF so the wavelength (roughly 70cm) is small enough to penetrate the window-sized openings in the car's metal shell, unlike the larger wavelengths of CB (27MHz, 11 meter wavelength) which require an external antenna.

I've used both FRS and amateur 70cm (440MHz) on roadtrips, and it's much more convenient than CB owing to precisely that -- simple whip antennas on handheld radios, no magnet-mount mess with a coax cable pinched in a door seal somewhere.

The audio is also somewhat unrealistic in that if multiple users are pressing push-to-talk simultaneously, their voices mix together. Realistically only the strongest one would get through, owing to the "FM capture effect", and the others you'd never know were there until they keyed up at a non-conflicting moment.
I disagree! When my viewport is larger, I have space for niceties like always-visible menus. When my viewport is smaller, I need what little space is available to be entirely dedicated to content, even if it means open menus takes an extra click.

> there's certainly some crossover, but both radar and microwave telephony were progressing in parallel

Looks like it, see what I've been reading:

> Work on klystrons became very intensive during WWII. Radar was independently invented in Germany and Britain before the war, and was initially implemented at UHF frequencies using triodes as sources. The invention of the klystron in the US encouraged the British in a search for a higher power microwave source, one which would make possible both better target discrimination and more compact transmitters. The 1941 invention of the magnetron by Randall and Boot in Britain16 provided such a source for radar transmitters. The same year, (and before Pearl Harbor) a visit by British scientists to America launched an extraordinary collaboration between Britain and the US, which resulted in magnetrons and klystrons being manufactured for the war effort in Western Electric, Sperry, and other American factories. The reflex version of the klystron, perfected at Sperry and in British laboratories, served as the local oscillator in superheterodyne radar receivers. Magnetrons powered the transmitters. Together, the magnetron and the klystron made possible airborne S-band radar, a major factor in securing air superiority for the RAF.

https://web.archive.org/web/20150924102609/http://www.slac.s...

> The klystron was the first significantly powerful source of radio waves in the microwave range; before its invention the only sources were the Barkhausen–Kurz tube and split-anode magnetron, which were limited to very low power. It was invented by the brothers Russell and Sigurd Varian at Stanford University. Their prototype was completed and demonstrated successfully on August 30, 1937.[5] Upon publication in 1939,[3] news of the klystron immediately influenced the work of US and UK researchers working on radar equipment.

Flask is faster to get going in what way? Writing types instantly saves you a ton of time and effort right out of the gate.[0]

And if your framework is faster, then of course you're going to mention it. Do you really think Flask or Django wouldn't point out that they were fast, if they were? I'm quite sure they would, since it's not shameful to educate the reader on what your framework offers compared to the competition, but they can't, because they're not.

Your link goes to the very bottom of that page, so is it really prominently featured compared to everything else they're trying to sell you on? It really doesn't seem like it. More convincing would be pointing to their list of "key features" at the top, which does mention performance first, but then quickly focuses back on "Fast to code" and "Fewer bugs".

FOI laws have been created so that the public can gain information about the internal workings of the government - and the scope is deliberately wide. It includes activities that you or me may not consider worthwhile, but that’s our judgment call. If handling FOI requests overloads the departments, then the answer would be to just make the information accessible to the public from the outset or supply sufficient funding to the departments so that they can provide the services required by law, including answering FOI requests.
Mystery.

According to the article and the paper we now have a clear understanding of how it works - the proteins in worms (which are similar to humans in their hearing structures) and their function.

So, unless I misread it, we absolutely know how sound > neural impulse works.

More:

> The initial step in the sensory transduction pathway underpinning hearing and balance in mammals involves the conversion of force into the gating of a mechanosensory transduction channel1. Despite the profound socioeconomic impacts of hearing disorders and the fundamental biological significance of understanding mechanosensory transduction, the composition, structure and mechanism of the mechanosensory transduction complex have remained poorly characterized. Here we report the single-particle cryo-electron microscopy structure of the native transmembrane channel-like protein 1 (TMC-1) mechanosensory transduction complex isolated from Caenorhabditis elegans. The two-fold symmetric complex is composed of two copies each of the pore-forming TMC-1 subunit, the calcium-binding protein CALM-1 and the transmembrane inner ear protein TMIE. CALM-1 makes extensive contacts with the cytoplasmic face of the TMC-1 subunits, whereas the single-pass TMIE subunits reside on the periphery of the complex, poised like the handles of an accordion. A subset of complexes additionally includes a single arrestin-like protein, arrestin domain protein (ARRD-6), bound to a CALM-1 subunit. Single-particle reconstructions and molecular dynamics simulations show how the mechanosensory transduction complex deforms the membrane bilayer and suggest crucial roles for lipid–protein interactions in the mechanism by which mechanical force is transduced to ion channel gating.

Leaves are surprisingly tricky. Trains mulch them into a hard slippery varnish on the rails, which is then extremely difficult to remove (current best methods involve industrial lasers).

The slippery varnish substantially reduces breaking performance, and increases breaking distances. That in turn means all of your safety margins vanish, and it’s no longer possible to operate trains at full speed, and at normal follow distances. All of that in turn means delays on an individual train basis, but also lower network capacity. Given that most of the UKs commuter rail operates at 80%+ capacity (basically the limit, before minor failures consistently result in catastrophic cascading failures), the result is that leaves on the rails is actually a pretty serious problem that’s tricky to solve.
