Are you serious are just mocking me? Also I have a feeling and I don't have scientific evidence.

But to answer your question, I get a lot off shit thrown onto me, unjustified things and I always have to adjust. (Sounds silly and not really a good explanation I know, but it's to difficult to explain right now.)
1. While the orbits might be bunched up, the orbital surface area is bigger than the earth — and satellites are in many different orbital altitudes. So, I wanted to simplify in order to get an order of magnitude estimate.

2. The risk of an individual dying in a car crash is being compared to the risk of any satellite being hit. Of course, people die every day in car crashes and satellites don’t get hit often. The point was to give a sense of the magnitude of acceptable risk.

Because that’s what I’m struggling with — how big of a problem is this at the moment?

Fun as acceleration is not really the interesting part of car fun. That's tight cornering, well-balanced front and back, feeling of total control and precision of big chunk of metal and similar. I do mean on regular roads and not just tracks, there its even more crucial.

But this requires from manufacturer much more than just slapping a heavy battery and putting the power of it straight to the wheels... whole platform needs to be fine-tuned in many aspects to achieve this. In normal price category BMW delivers this better than most peers in their classical models like 3 series. I had one for 10 years, only 200 HP V6 diesel but it was an excellent car for the driver, I properly enjoyed every drive that wasn't about cities and traffic jams. I certainly never felt I needed more power. Also very well balanced mechanical connection of steering wheel to straight to front wheels gave the connection to the car that no modern electronic cars including Porsche can deliver (and EVs are not even trying in any of this regard).

There are problems with this though, most buyers willing to pay premium are in traffic jams and cities, so you are not getting most of the value brands like BMW deliver. Then you are only left with acceleration part (well not that much in those traffic jams). Also it requires driving skills that take years to build with just driving the car (certainly for me, I wasn't using full potential of the car for maybe first 5 years of ownership), unlike just slamming gas pedal and holding steering wheel for your life.
Boy do I hope this is not true
What are the quoted session titles meant to illustrate? I thought those were meant to show poor research quality, and whereas "unsettling" does imply bias, I can't see anything special in “Pronouns, Bottoms, Cat-Ears And Cuerpes, Girl: For An Intersectional Trans Linguistic Anthropology”. It seems like research on a linguistic trend.

Artists Protest AI Art by Generating Images of Mickey Mouse
Recently (last few months) I've been testing HD Fury VRRoom, and am happy with it, as it allows switching instantly regardless of monitor, by having negotiation already set up:

https://hdfury.com/product/8k-vrroom-40gbps/

It maintains a live connection to each of 4 x HDMI inputs, 2 x HDMI outputs (mirrored or matrixed), and 1 x eARC audio output, and can switch between them "instantly" as you ask. You can switch with a button at your desk, or via API.

I selected this model because it supports (a) up to 8K and we use 5K monitors, both full 5K and ultrawide 5K, and (b) variable refresh rate (VRR) at 4K@120hz for gaming.

In a teleconference room with e.g. a big on the wall and a small screen on the table showing same or different sources, this lets you have multiple input sources (e.g., teleconf system, laptop, game system, and OTT TV source) that 'just work' without users having to know how to make it work.

The feature list for video includes:

- Unlock true VRR/FRL on Samsung Q90/QN900/QN95 and similar models

- Up to 8K60 444/RGB 12-bit via DSC at 96Gbps

- World First 40Gbps Upscaler, Splitter, Switcher with full audio extraction for VRR and any signals

- Play Xbox 1X games at 4K120 Dolby Vision on LG C9, BX & SONY HDMI 2.1 TV

- Work from ANY HDMI source to ANY HDMI, ARC or eARC sound system

- HDMI 2.1 Full Audio/Video passthrough up to FRL5: 40Gbps/1200MHz

- Upscale FRL5 and ANY signals 2K>4K, 4K>8K and 2K>8K up to 120Hz (no upscale for VRR/1080i/720p/480i-p)

- Downscale ANY FRL0/TMDS signals 8K>4K, 4K>2K or 8K>2K up to 120Hz (no downscale for FRL5/VRR tbd)

- Add or remove any input from the CEC network at any time via webserver, APP, IR/IP or RS232

And for audio, it solves getting eARC signal to amps or soundbars that can support Atmos when the monitor or TV doesn't support it:

- Full Audio from ANY HDMI source (including VRR signal) to ANY HDMI, ARC or eARC sound system

- Full Audio up to Atmos/TrueHD from any HDMI source to SONOS Arc/Beam2 or any eARC sound system

- Solve SONOS Arc/Beam2 + other lip sync issue when using external HDMI sources connected to eARC TV

If you get one and find yourself needing support, join their Discord server.
Hey there fellow habit former. I'm taking this post as a sign from God and opening HabitNow again.

Using this Android app (HabitNow) to track habits. To make it less depressing, I added habits that I've already formed, so each evening there is always something that I can 'tick off' as a success.

Had a lot of overtime work and have fallen behind in the past two months. Most of habits dropped. Also now I'm at home, cos of small problems with my back, and even the "free" (as already formed) habits that were a part of morning routine have to be "made". So I'm off to meditate for 10 min, do some easy yoga for 10 min and going to tick off first two habits for today. Thanks again for motivation!

Tracking habits became really fun and I quickly paid $1 for PRO version to be able to track more than 7. Keep up the good work and wish you many long streaks. Ending with a Lex's idol, David Goggins quote: "Each [unsuccess] is just a step towards success." (changed wording in [])
I see this attitude in lots of problems. Idk or can figure out why ppl think that throwing more gast at the problem might lead to the solution. Not only in this case.
Well, I said that Intel produced a compiler. I see from Wikipedia that Kildall did indeed develop PL/M; the same article says that Intel "promoted" it. The compiler that we used was branded Intel. It sounds like Kildall developed it for Intel.

[Edit] My notion that PL/M was a cut-down version of PL/I was clearly wrong; I never used PL/I, the closest I got was reviewing a few documentation pages.
> Watson's quote is more about psychology rather than technology, just look at the hullabaloo of crypto: a theoretically decentralized technology and the people still use centralized exchanges.

Well, that's easy. I forgot who mentioned it, but crypto has 0 support for actual clients, and the vast majority of day-to-day computing now happens on mobile end user devices (phones, tablets, laptops). So besides (what should be) this fatal flaw, the second thing crypto requires you is to manage your keys SUPER carefully yourself or a server.

Nobody[1]'s going to do that. I'm a techie and I don't want to maintain my own servers. What hope does Joe Locksmith have?

So in practice crypto will always centralize.

Extron and Crestron are both major vendors within the audiovisual industry. Both make (mostly) extremely solid products.

Rextron is not a company or set of devices I've ever encountered. From a quick look at their site they look to be an OEM/ODM provider though so would hazard a guess they may have taken some 'inspiration' from either of the above orgs.

tl;dr. Artists are creating images of copyrighted Disney characters using artificial intelligence (AI) tools as a way to challenge the legal consensus that AI-generated art is in the public domain and therefore not copyrighted. Eric Bourdages, Lead Character Artist on the video game Dead by Daylight, used the Midjourney AI tool to create Disney-inspired images and encouraged others to sell merchandise featuring them, arguing that the terms of service for the tool meant the images were not copyrighted and in the public domain. Bourdages later lost access to the Midjourney tool, but said the incident had sparked discussion around AI and the use of data.
> The necklace, believed to belong to a devout medieval woman, almost certainly an aristocrat, shines new light on the spread of early Christianity through medieval Europe and offers a glimpse into the role played by elite women in forging England’s Christian identity, experts say.

Article titles like this always get my hopes up for “we have to change all the textbooks”, but it almost never happens.
My/his school offered a Latin program starting as early as the 6th grade that continued through the associated high school. In this example, said system encouraged my friend to take this route (leading to familiarity with the Latin roots of many medical terms). Most folks went the route of Spanish or French. It's not like this made much difference for him getting into medical school, but it slightly helped his progress alongside other similar systemic encouragement (which scribe positions in medical facilities to work during college being another example). Most families/6th graders would never have had that sort of intuition on their own.

This sort of help is available to everyone in the form of internet forums and formal guidance for privileged folks. It just came easier at every step for my friend. Like I've been saying: I don't think this is inherently wrong/evil, but it's something of which to be aware. My family and I are perfectly competent when it comes to navigating this sort of environment, and I definitely considered/wanted being a doctor. I wasn't able to make it along that track. (That being said, I'm happy my lot in life landed me as your average code monkey; it's great.)

At my current startup we are doing something similar. Perhaps as inspiration for others without the huge budgets.

From very high level it works as follow:

- developer logs in to AWS cli

- executes: dev/01-start-env.sh

- prepare infra services: dev/02-base-platform.sh

- code can be changed and run locally. But if they need to test in the bigger system: dev/03-deploy-code.sh

There is dev/99-delete-env.sh

An environment is a personal ec2 spot instance that auto shutsdown if there’s no developer activity for over an hour.

The idea is that all developers work (program/code) locally as much as possible. But deploys changes to their own private environment in a much heavier VM’s that runs all services in containers.

Also there is a dev/tests.sh that executes the exact same test cases as in continuous integration. In fact, we try to bring all checks enforced during CI to be available to developers in their semi-remote-dev area environments for quick feedbacks.

Unpopular opinion probably, but the move to subscriptions 'backfired' on me;

Being a software developer myself in the past, I used to spend quite some money on all kinds of software. But since about 2 years i started a 'zero subscription' policy. I now only have subs for video and music streaming, that's it.

Since most companies don't really offer a (sane) 'single purchase/upgrade once in a while' pricing model anymore, i simply use (often less optimal) open source alternatives.

When making single purchases, you could always decide whether or not an upgrade was worth it (compared to the new features software gained.)
With subscriptions however, this all becomes *vague*. It's unclear what exactly changed. Often you see tacked-on cloud services, or "under the hood optimizations" and things like that which are supposed to justify the costs.
I'm okay with paying for software, but it's obvious many companies are being way too greedy.

PS. I love the subscription model of the "Due" app [1] (not affiliated.) You pay once, keep all the features *forever*, and can optionally re-subscribe yearly for *new* updates/features.
This seems like a fair purchase model! And i happily pay for it (if, significant new features are added.)

Exactly.. The article fails to answer the question posed by its very title. What I've gathered, this was a very much expected result and NOT a "breakthrough". And with regards to making fusion a viable source for commercial, large-scale energy production .. this is only tangential at best to that effort.

The problem with celebrating "fake victories" (and being scolded for calling them out) is that when there really is a breakthrough (i.e. something so big it fundamentally changes our perception of the problem), people are going to think you are making just another over-hyped publicity stunt. I am definitely of the opinion that such media attention focused advertising of (otherwise perfectly valid) fundamental research is doing no one favors (not the researches nor the public.)

> E.g. Commodore designs "borrowed" this from bigger computer systems when they put fully programmable 6502 based computers in their external floppy drives for their 8-bit line (you can load code into the memory of the 1541 floppy drive and execute it)

Yup Gwern mentions it in TFA. I had a Commodore 128 (well I still have it and it's still working!): Z80 chip in addition to the MOS ones (not just the CPU but the soundchip too).

I'd say though that back then none of these chips were added due to committees being infiltrated by three letters agencies or their chinese equivalent with the goal of introducing backdoors.

I don't buy the way you're constructing your argument! You're saying that both party A and party B wants to "abuse the science for political or commercial ends". But the political ends of party B is to prevent the destruction of their native lands, including the historical artifacts within that land, by party A. One of these is defensive, only abusing the system to prevent destructive abuse, and one is offensive.

>Let's just fight abuse of the science.

We'd all love this, I think. But what about before that? I don't think it's in our interests to not use the rules to our advantage before a new ruleset (that's non-abusive) has been put in place.
> For instance, in table 3, it looks like they excluded backend tasks {0,1} (for frontend tasks {0, 1}) then {2,3} (for frontend tasks {2,3}) in the N=10 case, but backend tasks {1,2} then {3,4} in the N=11. Why the discrepancy?

With N = 10, there will be N mod k = 10 mod 4 = 2 leftover tasks, and so the round-robin fashion excludes {0, 1} then {2, 3}.
However for N = 11, there will be N mod k = 11 mod 4 = 3 leftover tasks, so the round-robin fashion excludes {0, 1, 2} then {3, 4, 5}.

But as joatmon-snoo correctly said, the more important point is demonstrating how bad backend churn is with this algorithm.

For one, it's theoretically impossible to make lasers 102 times more efficient, especially if you consider the current industrial efficiency of up to 20% (30% under special conditions).

That is not true. You can of course not make a 10 % efficient laser more than 10 times more efficient, but there is no limit to how much more efficient you can make a laser in general, you just have to start with an inefficient enough one.

And the NIF lasers are quite inefficient, according to Wikipedia - which might have slightly outdated numbers as someone pointed out to me - they turn 422 MJ stored in capacitors into 1.8 MJ UV laser light, that is an efficiency of 0.43 %. Bringing this up to the 20 % you mentioned would already almost be a factor of 50. Also not all of the gain has to come from more efficient lasers, the fusion process could also be made more efficient.

But you are of course correct that there is some general limit to laser efficiency, therefore the question is if the fusion gain can compensate this and all additional losses during the conversion into electricity further down the line.
This. I have a server just to run all the open source tools I would have used subscriptions before.

Since you are limited by top speed on public roads, the important variable becomes average speed. You improve that with good acceleration and fantastic brakes.
