Irrelevant speech is noise. Freedom of speech is freedom to speak to those who might want to hear, not to push ads and spam and porn on those who don't want it. There's no freedom of speech in a night club. If there's noise you can't speak.

It doesn't stop with porn, if you're on a social platform to connect with friends and all you see is political things you don't care about, that's noise too.

If a social media platform doesn't let you supress things you don't want to see, that's a problem with the platform.

If a social media platform doesn't let you supress speach you don't want others to hear, problem is with you.

If you're trying to muddle the waters of free speech with false narratives and strawman arguments like spam and porn, that's just cheap manipulation.

This has nothing to do with values, if someone doesn't want to see porn, he should be able to avoid it, and if someone wants to see porn he should be able to see it. Spam is by definition something nobody wants to see.

Only collectivists and authoritarians would start going off on "society" values as if their values are superior enough to warrant forcing.
There's usually some regression to the genetic mean for children from people who are extreme outliers. Even if you have "smart" genes, you're unlikely to luck out on such an outstanding arrangement of genetic material again... and von Neumann was a very extreme outlier. By some accounts, the most intelligent human in history [0].

You'd expect for any of his kids to be outstanding, but not earth-shatteringly so. And looks like that's about right if you look up his daughter [1].

AdS == Anti de Sitter space == A universe with nothing in it.

These physicists assume a universe with nothing in it, then populate it with physicists and quantum computers and wormholes.

This is like claiming to have the most beatiful differential equations that explain perfectly the weather on earth. You say "ok, let's test these beautiful equations." But it turns out that the equations so beautiful to look at have no perfect solutions. So you need to make absurdly symmetrical assumptions to arrive at a usable solution, like assuming no atmosphere. Then, with no atmosphere your equations explains the earth's atmosphere perfectly well. With beautiful mathematical gimmicks, of course. With an assumption of a universe with nothing in it your equations explain everything in that universe with nothing in it.

Physics is neo-scholasticism powered by the marketing skills of the practitioners. This episode about wormholes proves the corruption of academic physics.
Why do you want to learn this? Are you planning of starting an agritech startup?
Unfortunately the commodification of physics discoveries, packaged in order to wow laypeople who would be bored by any accurate explanation, is just getting worse and worse every year, to the point that I've noticed a vast increase in the number of clueless crackpot laypeople that try to interact with me (I now block them on sight).

Personally, I think it comes from a deep lack within a lot of humans now: they are scared of the future and bored of the present. They want to go to Mars or live out their sci-fi dreams, because they do not have any meaning right now. I won't speculate on the reasons for this, because I'm sure there are many, but the end result is that they are desperate for crazy sounding physics discoveries, because it placates their desire for extreme technological progression. Technology and science have become almost like a God, something people don't understand but that they have faith that it will elevate humanity to a point beyond its current, seemingly stale, state. Of course, where there is a desire for that, media companies will try to fulfil it.

The ideology behind the extremely contemporary belief amongst brits that "s" is a British spelling is quite strange to me.

z is the British spelling and always has been, s is French and was lifted from French. And made wide-spread by British newspapers in the 60s+.

Guess I am one of those. I bought a Red iPhone 8 a few years ago for the following reasons:

2. I liked the colour.

3. It was the same price as non-Red models.

4. It happened to send a few dollars towards a good cause which would not have been sent if I had bought the regular colour product.

I'm apparently a sucker who would rather give a little than nothing at all.

I think that nothing today can beat the M1/M2 CPU/GPU, but a ThinkPad, in my humble opinion, is much better than any MacBook (again, not counting CPU/GPU):
- mate screen
- trackpoint (if you haven't used it you don't know what you are missing)
- keyboard
- carbon body (much more warm than the metal unibody).

I would love for apple to license the M1/M2 to Lenovo.

This is not some "glossing over some details for a lay audience" situation. It is not a lack of depth. It makes ridiculous claims, fundamentally misrepresenting what this research is, to make it sound cooler and more interesting. This is one of the worst pieces of science journalism I've ever seen.
wiring looms is faster and easier for prototyping than making PCBs with KI-CAD. Maybe when the design is finished and you want to 'mass' produce something then go to the PCB.

> Unless you make the punishment for purchasing cryptocurrencies severe (on par with buying/possession of the goods in question) you won't remove the motivation for using them as an intermediate means of exchange.

See I don't necessarily agree with you there, it all depends what you're trying to achieve. I think in the context of the discussion - an article which says that cryptocurrency is being seen as bullshit by democrats - you just have to make it difficult for normal people to participate in order to kill the current industry, and you can do that by regulating banks rather than individuals. You could make it illegal to market these things, illegal for exchanges to operate and for banks to send money to them, and you'd strangle the majority of it.

Yes, you're right that there would probably be a residual demand for it illicit purchases, gambling, that sort of stuff, but the mainstreaming of it as an investment/speculation vehicle would likely be crushed.

If I can't buy cryptocurrency by credit card or bank transfer then I'm probably not going to try and invest my pension in it, or invest in a high-yield staking account at Celsius, or just buy some BTC at an exchange to speculate on price rises, firstly because my bank would throw up obstacles and secondly because it would be difficult to rehabilitate any gains into the system. Yes, I might want some to buy drugs, but the pseudo-financial industry that's sprung up around this stuff (the FTXs, the 3ACs, the Celsius, Coinbase) wouldn't be able to operate in that sort of environment, and the number of people who are in it to make a buck would be considerably reduced.

So -

> Cryptocurrencies are a second-order desirable in the same way that meeting in private, instead of public, is.

Yes, for transactions where that's important, I can see it still being desirable, until/unless some other means to do this comes along, and you're right, that would likely be a comparatively resilient demand.

But for the current speculative mania, and the large-scale fraud it enables? Less so.

> the worst case is O(nlog(n))

I think it's worth clarifying that this is the best worst case possible, i.e for every sorting algorithm you could create a certain input in a way that it won't be able to beat O(nlog(n)). In other words, O(nlog(n)) is a minimum hard limit for worst case speed, no algorithm can do better than O(nlog(n)) on all possible inputs (but it can do better on some inputs, o(n) being the hard limit there).

I don't really remember the theory behind this, but hopefully someone here can answer: is it theoretically possible for a sorting algorithm to achieve sub-O(nlog(n)) speeds on 99.99% (or some other %) of randomly selected inputs? Or even O(n)?
This looks like a fun little project!

I can confirm the experience and I've used dart on multi month projects twice now : first time when it was the JS replacement and using AngularDart back in the angular 2 beta days - it was ahead of the curve at the time with tooling (compared to JS world), but it went nowhere because of poor design choices.

Then they decided to salvage the team and made flutter with it - the technical reasons of chosing it over JS sound extremely unconvincing. And the language is as you say the worst of both worlds - verbose and weak type system (I remember getting runtime type exceptions because compiler couldn't catch a type mismatch in a ternary) and none of JS dynamism, no reflection - just boilerplate on top of boilerplate.

Worst part is the react like architecture of flutter lends itself really well to immutable state management practices but the language is so weak that any immutable library involves a ton of ugly boilerplate - and they refuse to add stuff like records to the language to ameliorate the problem.

The reason it gets me so riled up to rant is that the framework itself and the idea behind it (custom native rendering framework) has potential - but dart makes using it horrible.

Rexx was designed by Mike Cowlishaw, who (like me) is British, and (from memory) the language included a few "Britishisms". For example it's keyword for selecting output text colour allowed "colour" as well as "color". It also used "say" to print text. Twenty year-old me was a little bemused.

I have a hard time understanding what the article is trying to tell me.

As soon as you have components talk to each other over IPC, you pass strings of bytes. It does not matter whether you create a nice abstraction class around a string. Over the wire it is still a string.

What is he proposing we do to prevent confusion between strings?

Adding namespaces does not appear to be a useful idea because it boils down to "do input validation", which you are hopefully already doing.
It's definitely one of the worst articles they've published, on the grounds of expecting them to demystify science with their journalism rather than mystify it -- which is what every other publication on the planet does.

I read it in its entirety to see if there was any justification for its write up. As with all tabloid journalism, the caveats are at the end where you find out the "bridge principle" from QC-to-Wormhole requires assumptions that are non-physical.

Everyone is well aware that non-physical assumptions to the equations of physics can produce arbitrary magical effects (eg., perpetual motion, etc.).

The whole structure of the article was something I'd expect from "tabloid science" and I expect Quanta will get a lot of push back from it; and hopefully not do it again.
I'm primarily a React user and would generally agree with you, but I understand why people like Vue/Svelte.

- Templating languages have been around for years, and for many, they feel like the right way to write markup. If someone has used Handlebars in the past, the templating constructs feel familiar. There is also the idea of keeping logic out of your views with the restricted feature set of your templating language. Finally, conditional logic is simply easier in a templating language vs JSX. This will be true until we get pattern matching or the do expression, ternaries, and boolean expressions are clunky. Solid added constructs for conditions and looping to JSX, mainly for performance, but it's much more ergonomic.

- People like the SFC pattern precisely because everything is separate. Your logic is separate from your markup, which is separate from your styling. For me, it feels like a throwback to the times of MVC when it was good and proper to separate your concerns that way. Some reject React out of hand because "there's no default solution for styling".

- The composition API in Vue 3 and Svelte's stores provide the same abstraction potential as hooks. Their reactive primitives aren't tied to the component lifecycle, which is a really nice benefit. It avoids a lot of the context performance pain that people can end up in.

Overall, I'm not really sold on SFCs. They inherently limit you to one component per file, a tradeoff I don't like. There are also the type and IDE support issues which will always be an uphill battle. Template languages are at least better than lashing everything in template strings which is becoming a thing now.
> It is a somewhat common attitude in this type of thread.

Except the safety features are often a lot easier to use than the original C isms that tend to cause the most issues. So it is less an issue of smart and more one of bad habits. C strings instead of std::string, plain arrays instead of std::vector, implicit ownership instead of smart pointers, ... .

Let's take 2 hypothetical scenarios.

1. Chromium stops being FOSS.

Brave, Vivaldi, Edge continue to exist. The only difference being, Brave is now a fork that exists independently and has to do security patches on its own.

2. Google stops funding Mozilla.

With 90% of the revenue gone, Mozilla as we know it would cease to exist as a corporation.

So no, Brave's dependence on Google is not a life and death situation for the whole company.
