based on their academic services, I wouldn't be too worried because those services are crap. Their academic analytics stuff barely passes the test and is mostly used because nobody wants to make a competitor. Most academic metadata is openly available to anyone who wants to use it, but people know that academia is more about networking, PR, politics etc rather than the exactness of academic analytics. Then elsevier's own websites were pretty crap for the (pre-SciHub) times i used them , sometimes being offline, other times with stupid web design etc. They don't have a technical moat other than being so entrenched in academic politics.

I assume something similar is going on in the other spaces. They live in a legacy world that will be replaced with AI overnight.
What's the difference between "this thing demonstrates emergent properties" and "this thing is made of smaller parts that look different"?

Just curious, no sarcasm intended.
I forget who, but some human described crypto as speedrunning the past century or two of financial history, which seems apt. I think the traditional banks and regulators learned similarly hard lessons too, it was just mostly before I was born.
Pretty confusing, but finance always seemed like voodoo to me.

Why is that an incredible investment opportunity? Something like ~53% of the voting power is owned or controlled by Zuck, and there’s no indication that he has any plans to meaningfully return money to shareholders,* rather than continuing to write ten-digit company checks every month to fund the metaverse.

If you want to buy META as a bet on Zuck himself or the success of their conception of the metaverse, that’s one thing, but I don’t see how this is a reasonable value investment based on their current management and capital structure.

* I know Meta has done stock buy-backs from time to time, which are of course economically equivalent to a dividend (except more tax efficient), but from eyeballing their history of repurchases, it looks like they, like many issuers, managed to set billions of dollars of shareholder money on fire by repurchasing the stock while it was trading at rich multiples.
Loose them to who? To Google? We need antitrust to break the bundling of Operating Systems and services. The fact that the US government went after Microsoft for setting Internet Explorer as the default but lets Apple ban sideloading entirely shows how political and not economic these problems are.

We are still talking about working during work, right? Or are you playing with your kids and having beers with your friends while you work?

It is a strawman argument to claim that people who want to go to the office have no social life. It is in fact easier to claim that "only antisocial people want to hide at home like a hermit with their webcam shut off."
I would say it depends who you are, what you look like and where you come from.

But as a super privileged white German the US border control (around 2009) was definitely the harshest I have experienced.

I travelled to many places in Africa, Asia and South America as well, never had been questioned and probed like i was in the USA. Ofc i cant speak to the experience in EU.

Edit: added date
I haven't downvoted, but if you look there the original price was ~$20, now the net that the other user shared was ~$60. Even like that it's still a 3x for no reason.
Can't speak for the OP, but more than once I've run into a case where I need the form tags to be nested in the DOM, for reasons relating to the page structure but not the form contents. I would like nested form elements to just be allowed in the DOM, and if you submit the inner form then the outer should just be ignored, and if you submit the outer it should just submit all of the form values.

What is ECRPL?
It’s not about whether or not pipe is a good ground. The electrical grounding for a building needs to be like a tree. No ground loops and exactly one grounding point. Arbitrarily adding grounds, especially through water pipes can do things like making all of the piping and water in the house hot if there is a fault somewhere and it definitely seems like that’s the case here.

The whole idea is that the ground wire is the least resistance path for stray current to go to. When you have separate ground paths there can be a dangerous potential between ground wires and the least resistance path for stray current can again be you.
> The plumber is cool, it’s like “what if xdg-open was good actually”

Yeah, plumber is way better than xdg-open in that it is extensible and it can be invoked from a script more easily via 9P. Given how hard it to customize xdg-open, I use a xdg-open wrapper that gets the caller's name using procfs and sends it to the plumber service. That way I can open links on a different browser depending from where the link was clicked/opened from .

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# this is named xdg-open and placed in a directory that is
# before /usr/bin in the $PATH

PARENT_COMMAND=$(cat "/proc/$PPID/comm")

case "$PARENT_COMMAND" in
slack)
/home/puercopop/src/plan9/bin/9 plumb -s slack "$@"
;;
zoom)
/home/puercopop/src/plan9/bin/9 plumb -s zoom "$@"
;;

And then on my plumbling file I have

P.S. Beautiful project for a problem that definitely needs solving.
Reducing the quantity demanded is reducing the demand.

I don't understand how you reduce "quantity demanded" but not "demand." MAybe you can clarify.

I am describing a demand decrease.

When operational, this plant consumes US gas. It is a demander of gas. If it's staying closed, less demand for US gas.

> The mechanic here is the decline of exports to europe making the supply of gas available to us go up, meaning the price for gas in the US will go down.

This is correct and equivalent to what I'm saying.

Your notion: "If this place doesn't open, less gas is exported to europe, leaving more supply in the US"

My notion: "If this place doesn't open, less gas is bought in the US for export to europe, leaving more supply in the US"

We're on the same page.
I can share that feeling. However, more than the thought of passing on what is ours, what such a chronological fact inspires in me is the awe of realizing that a city like this represents a history within history. And like that there are many more.
This. Between running, tennis, climbing, hiking, biking, martial arts, swimming, weightlifting, volleyball, mountain biking, soccer, etc. . . I think there is likely a “right” exercise for everyone, in the sense that it gets to flow state and doesn’t feel boring, or like work.
Well, there's still a build system (and an opinionated one!) in the mix, it just happens to be vendored into the same executable that provides the language/compiler. And that's great! A lot of folks like that tight integration.
I'd also recommend giving Shapr3D a try. Its an extremely nice up-and-coming CAD suite. Very little cloud integration as well (they only very recently added model syncing to your account). Their lineage is definitely as an iPad app, but its been ported with perfect fidelity to MacOS and Windows, and I think that touch-first small-screen lineage has forced them to produce a tool that's so quick and productive to just pick up and get to modeling. Its also built on Siemens Parasolid, same as SolidWorks and OnShape.

Cal Newport talks quite a bit in his books (definitely Deep Work, but probably others too) about the linkage between walking or running and thinking creatively and solving hard problems.

In high school, I noted with curiosity that the cross country team had an extraordinary proportion of kids who excelled academically, going to top-tier colleges based on their academic merit alone. I chalked it up to an overlap between the traits required for both distance running and academic excellence: daily persistence, measured in hours, at something that doesn't involve a lot of action or cheering crowds. But there's probably more to it than that.

Military flight training is known to be like medical or law school for many people, spending all day memorizing technical manuals and regulations when not in the cockpit learning to fly. Despite military requirements for physical fitness, and the fact that officers need high fitness scores to get into flight school, many officers let their fitness slide in that environment. I found early on that making time for exercise had a very noticeable effect on my day-to-day performance, both in memorizing stuff and in the cockpit, and I rose to the top of my class. In particular, practicing golf (which involves a lot of finesse, but I also walked and carried my own bag) for a few holes after class every evening seemed to help with learning to execute precise maneuvers on the flight controls.

"Charger" is a colloquial term. Technically this is Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). You're right that it (usually) doesn't do anything in terms of voltage regulation, but that doesn't mean it doesn't serve a useful purpose (as others in this thread have outlined).
Monero implements sender privacy as well.
Elon built a new car company that is, probably, at least as long-term viable as BMW. Though the valuation of 3X that of Toyota is outlandish. That valuation is based in large measure on the prospects of robotaxis.

Similarly, the SpaceX Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon are huge successes. But the valuation of SpaceX is largely based on Starlink becoming a global telecom giant, and that, in turn, is based on 2nd gen satellites which can only be flown on Starship.

What Musk's brief time at Twitter has shown everyone is that he can fail on a scale of tens of billions in less than a month. Betting on LEO telecom and robotaxis, nevermind tunnels, brain implants, and Mars colonies is high risk, and the last person you will hear tell of those risks is Elon.
An ETH wallet is just a private/publik keypair. You only have to generate a compatible pair [1] and write it in a piece if paper. What makes it "cold" is that you dont place your keys sonwhere online (myetherwallet, exodus,etc) so it cant be hacked.

Many people have sunk their last savings into businesses that failed. The few remaining successes are small, especially these days.
In todays world a distinction between Smalltalk and a Lisp listener is remote connectivity. Lisp needs a simple socket, whereas Smalltalk requires the full GUI.

I can certainly be mistaken but I don’t know if you can connect a typical modern Smalltalk workspace to a remote image. Nothing to stop someone from whipping up a straightforward socket listener to a ST image, but it’s not at all the same thing as what the desktop experience is.

Obviously not impossible just a distinction between them.

ST also solves the disparity between the image and the source code by logging all changes made to an image automatically. So it’s straightforward to roll forward an older image to a recent state by replaying the changes file.
Hahaha, no way that is happening. Open plan stays, and people are actually coming to the office and attending most meetings on Zoom sitting at their desk.

I am no fan of that. If I come to the office I want to see real people.
I've heard there's literally some kind of electric charge going on, and your muscles play an important role in this. They might act as storage of sorts, but you need to exercise eventually so they can discharge, otherwise you get to the point where things can't function properly. Heart is supposed have crucial part in generating electrical fields too. Not much info on that topic so take it with a grain of salt.

It will still be possible to correlate IP addresses and hostnames. You can only hope for plausible deniability provided that the site you are visiting share IP address with a bunch of other sites.
The issue isn't with phishing. The issue is with threat actors using domain fronting as a network masquerading technique when having command and control traffic call back to Cobalt Strike servers. You can use domain fronting look like it's heading back to legitimate sources such as Microsoft, but unless the corporation is doing SSL termination on the endpoints, it's impossible to determine the exact destination.

Azure originally started on this path in 2021: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2021/03/26/sec...

Working in the pentest/red team field, I've seen various providers ban consulting companies and red teams from using domain fronting -- however, this doesn't stop the threat actors.
> The fact that the lowest level of interaction you can have with a computer is writing memory. When writing device drivers, or interfacing with microcontroller hardware, the way you give commands and transfer data is by writing your command to a memory-mapped device register, or an area of memory that will be copied to the target device.

This is somewhat true, but usually these devices are not designed for multiple processes to come in and start writing memory to them. On Linux, the job of the DRM kernel driver for graphics is to mostly facilitate command buffer submission, scheduling, and results gathering. We'd really just see the same exact situation on Plan 9: user-space GPU drivers which do the work of translating graphics APIs into command buffers, and talking to a kernel-side component by submitting dedicated command buffers.

That they talk over a file interface isn't really relevant here, since it's just used as userspace -> kernel IPC.

> The other thing is, modern computers are networks in a box. For example, what if your GPU is a separate computer networked over a high-speed link. What if I could upload a texture just by opening a 'file' on the GPU, mmaping -it and memcpy-ing the data into it?

Well, first, you'd need to figure out the layout of the texture you want (e.g. AMD has these layouts https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/blob/main/src/amd... ), allocate the full mip chain size, allocate your texture descriptors, then swizzle the texture data into a form that the GPU can understand.

Oh, and if you wanted a fast texture on desktop GPUs, you'd have to store it in host-inaccessible memory (host-accessible memory is often slower). So first you'd need to allocate a scratch buffer in slower, host-accessible memory, copy your texture data there, and then allocate the real texture storage in the faster host-inaccessible memory, and submit a copy command. That's a lot more work than a memmap and a memcpy.

Maybe we put all those smarts in the driver, but the driver is going to need a lot more info about the intended usage of the texture, and by that point we're basically creating /dev/vulkan rather than a low-level GPU API.
Crypto isn't actually an investment in anything. It's just speculation.

With crypto you're not investing in anything that will produce a positive cash flow. Bonds and the stock market actually produce cash flow.

Spare the whataboutism, the US has always been in a category of its own.
The article states:

>According to on-chain data, various Ethereum tokens as well as Solana and Binance Smart Chain tokens exited FTX's official wallets and moved to decentralized exchanges like 1inch. Both FTX and FTX US appear to be affected."

Can someone say what the significance of moving these tokens to a decentralized exchange is? I'm guessing there's a strategic reason for doing so. Can someone explain what that it is if so?
Mine does. Still picked Rust, and so happy I did. The type system alone does it for me.
People casting ballots will be identified by anyone with an AWS account, yes. The location of the vote and the handwritten checkmark are likely enough to identify the voter.
I agree that this is a good idea overall, but also keep in mind that there are some major caveats:

1) A specific measure going up or down with exercise might or might not actually lead to the practical improvements that "should" go with it (cf. Goodhart's law)

2) Many studies are poorly designed or outright defective, and it tends to take a shockingly long time for people to stop routinely citing known-bad studies.

3) Even studies that lack fundamental flaws still often come with major practical limitations that tend to undermine attempts to generalize them. Exercise studies in particular are often limited to either "healthy" people of a relatively narrow age range or people who have a specific medical condition. In the latter case, there may be exclusion criteria that render the sample population non-representative of the overall population with that condition (e.g. in terms of overall severity, specific complications, or comorbidities).

4) Results are often summarized in a way that exaggerates their importance. A small effect size might be glossed over by emphasizing the large percentage of subjects for whom the change was statistically significant, for example.
Definitely possible to not worry about make or autoconf, you just have to either

- or use almost any more modern systems language like Rust, Zig, or Go
As someone who doesn't follow the standardization process, I would love an explanation how proposals like this fail even when they have widespread support and no downsides. Is there an easy answer to this or is it different from case to case?
I view a city’s knowledge graph as one of those large Tesla batteries for the home.

This is awesome to read about.

I grew up in a Hmong enclave (not so far from SV actually; Fresno), and in High School they made up something like 30% of my class. I had quite a few friends in the community.

Interestingly, I met cousins of those friends in random places around the world during my military career, and was always welcomed as family by those people. This sometimes bewildered the other service members who saw them as a very closed group; they are very misunderstood (in my experience).

Seeing a (more) traditional Hmong wedding is pretty awesome, too. Honestly I wish I had more resources to offer, but I’m not anything like an expert.

The argument for the Java behavior doesn't depend on how long pauses are. It's purely about efficiency. If your runtime is collecting then it's not spending that CPU time on your apps workload. If you're GCing to reduce your heap from 300M to 100M when you have 16GB free, your server is running slower than it needs to because GC work is more efficient when clearing a lot of garbage from the heap.

Fundamentally with GC there's a throughput vs memory usage tradeoff. Go faces the same issue which is why GOGC exists:

In office work is definitely a bit of a cargo cult, despite the evidence that companies did just fine.

The quality of the data senior leaders typically use to make business decisions like this are usually either very poor and would never pass any kind of statistical or scientific bar, or non-existent. It's usually just a gut feeling and they roll with it. Managers just usually have no idea how to manage a remote team and go about replicating the physical office in digital form.
One nice thing about submitting forms the "old way" is that they work even when JS is disabled. Not many people care about that, however.
> Wouldn't it also need a continuous copper pipe until it meets the ground? A pipe being made of copper or iron doesn't mean it's not connected to a plastic pipe or adapter upstream

Right.

Probably PTFE (teflon) tape.

The thing to do with oldschool copper pipes though was to braze them together, which is conductive.

By Java 5 the average cost of an allocation in Java was already lower than heap allocation in C++, but greater than the cost of stack allocation. With escape analysis in Java 8 that got even better.

The biggest problem Java had was that 90’s era thinking on GC algorithms (most GC languages in the 90’s were using 80’s era GC algorithms) ran out of steam sometime around 2005, when memory availability created situations where GC pause times were impossible to hide. Cliff Click created a JVM that actually ran as a VM, in order to create a cheaper mark phase via page faulting to implement mark on write. Now we have other options.
