There are several subtypes of neutron stars. My favorite is the magnear [1]. These are extremely rare and I believe don't last that long but while they do they have an unbelievable strong magnetic field. I'm talking a quadrillion times stronger than Earth's, strong enough to literally rip atoms apart from a sizeable distance.

The article mentions the equation of state. Fun fact: neutron stars are probably the most complex objects in the Universe. Black holes by comparison are quite simple: describle with three quantities (mass, spin, electric charge). An equation of state would tell us how large these can get, for example.

Consider the nucleus of a normal atom. We know and have mapped out electron shell structures. Nuclei too have structure but it's way more inscrutable and complex as you have to deal with the electric repulsion between protons, the strong interaction between quarks (and gluons) and the strong interaction between nucleons. AFAIK we don't really have a good model for this.

Now imagine that scaled up to something 20km across where gravity has also become a significant force and obviously we don't have a quantum model for gravity anyway.

In addition to all of that you have to deal with fluid dynamics. The article mentions nuclear pasta and theorized crystalline structure within a neutron star but in outer layers its likely it acts more like a fluid.

And then there's things can collide in unbelievable energetic interactions, such that we can detect the ripples in space-time billions of light years away. We're talking 5-10 Solar masses converted to energy in less than a second.

The teams that brought value to the company were embedded alongside of the folks producing the data to be 'scienced' and had leadership that was able to understand and communicate the information (and its limits) to their leaders and adjacent teams and use their experience to point the data science folks in the right direction.
I would classify myself as 'extremely online' and can't say I was very aware of that troll campaign.

It seems just as or more likely to me that respondents interpreted the weird question in a more personal context and essentially rejected the premise (why is this person asking me about "being white" when I'm not white). There isn't any racism if you take the question that way and say 'no'.
> The CEO commented in the announcement:

> Tesla will make a compelling $25,000 electric vehicle that is also fully autonomous

Given that they currently sell “fully autonomous at some future time” for $15,000 or $199/month (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot#Pricing), I can believe them to aim for a $25,000 car that you can buy that update for or add that subscription to, but I wouldn’t call that a “$25,000 electric vehicle that is fully autonomous”.

I get insomnia. I've been doing CBT-i for a month. It's been transformational. Throughout this experience, I've learned a lot about sleep that I wouldn't have learned otherwise.

8 hours of sleep per day is generally a myth. The amount of sleep people need varies from person to person. Ironically, fixating on getting eight hours can cause some people to get insomnia.

Insomnia is a condition that is often caused by something (like work stress for the author) but drastically overstays its welcome. My CBT-i program emphasizes that trying to determine the root cause of the insomnia is pointless because of this phenomenon. This theory of how insomnia develops is called the 3P model and was developed by Dr. Arthur Spielman in the NINE TEEN EIGHTIES. (We've been sleeping for thousands and thousands of years!) https://insomnia.sleep-disorders.net/clinical/three-factors-...

Sleep apnea is super duper common. But the world (well at least the US) prides itself on working harder and sleeping less. I've met tons of people who start work at 6am but "get to sleep" (usually means "get to bed") at 10pm or later, partially because they wrap up work at home.

There is an over-fixation on the long-term degenerative effects of sleep. However, those effects are poorly understood because sleep in itself is poorly understood.

You can't really control sleep. That blew my mind. You can train yourself to get sleepy on a schedule, but actually falling asleep isn't up to you. This is why a lot of common sleep hygiene advice isn't that effective (or is actually regressive) long-term. CBT-i focuses a lot on this in particular.

Alcohol and sleeping pills DESTROY sleep. That is one of the few things about sleep that is extremely well understood. These things help people get to stage 1 sleep but inhibit the deeper sleep stages that start recovery processes. (The author took antihistamines for years. Antihistamines are used as sleep aids, though they are habit-forming and can cause gnarly insomnia when you get off of them without weaning off.)

So I agree with the author. I strongly believe that ALMOST EVERYONE in the US struggles with sleep, but, like sex, talking about that is taboo and drugging your way through the solution is socially acceptable.
Because we can now say that there was any evidence we want but the totalitarian state destroyed it. We can now make any argument where the state destroying evidence fills in the gap of the theory.

2 main points:

- Infisical is by default end-to-end encrypted which means that we are not able to read you secrets (unless you give us explicit permissions for integrations that require it). This is not the case for many other products in the market, like Doppler.

- "Open source" is actually a big differentiator in this case, because people and companies can self-host Infisical on their own infrastructure. I can't really imagine JP Morgan storing their secrets on someone else's cloud. Many companies we talk to have very strict compliance restrictions, and this is where Infisical come in

I went along as handler for a friend at a couple of Old Dominion 100s in the 1980s. The then course took the runners over Massanutten Mountain somewhere around 80 or 85 miles in, and the one year runner could be accompanied for the last 25 miles, the other year for the last 33. The first year I didn't need to accompany for my friend dropped out because of the brutally hot weather. The later year, I split the companion duties with my brother.

The thing about ultra-distance races is that the exhaustion can affect the judgment, and the runner and the race are better off having somebody with judgment unimpaired along.

Edit: I should add that the course took runners over Massanutten Mountain in the dark. Perhaps the real beasts managed it in daylight, but it was a nighttime leg for lot of good solid runners who were going to get the belt for finishing under 24 hours.
The dutch greenhouse tomatoes were so sad and pale in the 90s our eastern neighbours called them 'holländische Wasserbombe' (dutch waterbombs).

I can think of reasons but they’d be the kind of thing that you’d make an immediate public statement about – you’d be talking about crimes where most people would feel the need to warn others in the community.
do you think the under-diagnosing is because of work schedules? dont you have to do a sleep study to get diagnosed?
How would that falsify the theory? If you find no evidence you can just claim that the state destroyed it.

This is maybe a weird corner case, but I had no luck with the RealMedia files here: https://chance.dartmouth.edu/ChanceLecture/AudioVideo.html
on a Mac, particularly the Susan Holmes lecture on "Probability by Surprise". It's some format that has video + synced web pages.

I eventually downloaded the zip and made it into an iso that I could mount in a VM of Windows that had RealPlayer installed. Failed attempts included VLC and some other Mac video player (Elgato?), and trying to navigate to the page from a Windows VM (no https). I would love to here of a less tedious solution.

Wait until people hear about bitwise and
It is extremely difficult to tell a working and subtly broken RNG apart through testing. Imagine an RNG that repeatedly ran this code:

date +%s.%N | sha256sum

The output will never recur no matter how many times you run the test, so long as it takes at least a nanosecond. It'll pass all statistical tests of randomness.

And it's completely insecure - just guess the time and you know the output.
I kind of like that because if your tree depth is that large you're throwing away the benefits of a tree generally and that is an indication you should be doing something different.

It worked fine for me. I certainly don't want to date every woman, so I'm picky, and of course I present myself as I am. Of course if you're somehow an awful person, that is of course something to improve, and not something to hide.
I never said any of the things you say I seem to be overconfident about because they make no sense to me at all, at least not in the way you say them.

Instead of trying to guess what I think, why not ask me directly, and say what you think, also? Just throwing around weird accusations of half-explained "overconfidence", or "human exceptionalism" (what is that, now?) doesn't really help anyone understand what you are disagreeing with, or what you are agreeing with.

>> Other than all the downright uncanny output.

I don't find the output of ChatGPT, or any other of the language models that have exploded into the hype zone lately "uncanny". I've done plenty of language modelling and while the output of those recent LLMs is grammatically smoother than earlier systems, and they can handle longer-term dependencies, they are not anything new. Their output is "uncanny" only if you've never seen anything like that before. Which is, of course, the case with most people who didn't know about language modelling before they heard about GPT-something, and who are now posting in droves on the web to say how surprised they are.

When we're young, the world is full of dreams and aspirations. Over the years we discover that many of those dreams aren't realistic or possible. Sometimes we actually accomplish those dreams and we find it isn't as great as we thought. Or maybe we're happy with the result and are now content and stop dreaming.
Tunneling and underground work is a uniquely localized specialty. A national organization that runs underground work is going to still need specialized knowledge for each region both because of local ground conditions and local contracting practices. It is very difficult to export know-how from one area to another. Site sampling/testing practices are not even consistent across regions.

Beyond that, as someone with extensive experience with underground projects and the federal government, the federal government doesn’t pay nearly enough and its benefits lag private industry significantly at this point.

It’s also worth noting that this agency already exists somewhat but spread across departments (FHWA, EPA, etc.). They still outsource to consultants.
How so?

Suppose a lab worker went to a cave hundreds of miles away and collected a bunch of bats. Those bats were returned to the lab. At some point a different lab worker exposed himself to one of the bat carcasses and caught proto-Covid-19. Three days later he stopped at the wet market on the way home from work to pick up dinner and infected patients 1-5.

In what way is the lab in this scenario superfluous? If it had better and enforced protocols for handling potentially infected specimens there would have been no pandemic.

Not necessarily. I could see committing to an event, finding something unsavoury and telling my contact I’m out but won’t make a fuss. They mismanage internal communications which leads to someone else blowing it up, thereby requiring I respond in public second.

1) Imogen Heap is up there with John Carmack on the list of people I am a fan of. If she came out in support of FC despite being informed of the issues with it, it would reduce my respect for her by a couple of pegs in a way that, say, Taylor Swift or Madonna doing so wouldn't. One of the reasons why I hold her in particular esteem is because she has always admitted to her ignorance of things she is ignorant of and sought to learn more. So like I said, total benefit of the doubt.

2) The autism issue is dear to me because I'm on the spectrum. I've really lucked out because I'm verbal and can overall function pretty well. I'm even a husband, something I never thought I could expect to be. So I especially feel for all the nonverbal and otherwise severely autistic people who end up as pawns in people's political and egotistical agendas. Facilitated communication is not "reading horoscopes and watching feel-good movies"; it has hurt autistic and non-autistic people. (For example there were allegations of sexual abuse obtained through FC that were taken very seriously but ultimately shown to be false.) But like Miracle Mineral[0] it's a form of woo that just won't stay discredited, to the detriment of all who embrace it.

Yes, and? At the end of the day the knowledge is on Slack, whether you like it or not. Twitter lost more than 50% of their engineers in less than 3 months, of course they have a knowledge retention problem.

Now it's shut down, where do you get that info? It's gone, just gone.

Please explain to us how it's a good idea to shut down Slack before an alternative has come up.

Employers in France need valid grounds, which may be personal or economic. Personal grounds includes poor performance. Easier said than done though, it requires a lot of documentation proving that the employer provided sufficient training/retraining to improve performance, regular documented meetings to discuss performance problems, etc. If the worker stops showing up to work at all it becomes easier, but if the worker wants to drag out the process they can.
It would take firing and replacing most of management...

And when you look at it, yes, there are plenty of funds driven by buying a company, replacing the management, and selling it. Most of them are not long-term driven (you really expect people that flip companies to be long-term driven?) and thus make all kinds of decisions that you'll probably disapprove.

Mine was my first realisation that confidence doesn't equal knowledge. I had asked a science teacher back in high school if it were theoretically possible to see light from around the big bang sort of time of the universe.

"No, that's not possible." - no corrections, no qualifiers, no reasoning why it wasn't possible. Just "no". Scientific af.

I want to back this up!

For a while I was carb-reliant, would bring fruit with me to my workouts, felt like I couldn't do more than 30 min of hard effort without fueling.

Made a conscious effort to "go keto", ate more protein and fat, was hungry for 1.5 weeks, but a switch flipped and I can pretty much go forever now. I'm not strict about it anymore, but it definitely unlocked something for me.

I think my sense of exhaustion was coupled with the amount of easy sugar from carbs in my body.. taking the carbs away for a bit broke that dependency.
That’s correct. I have seen the above argument a lot: Using analogy as a basis for proof!
My SO and I both work in data (in healthcare and higher education, respectively). Neither of us has had this experience. Sure, some of our dashboards have died, but many of them have also provided real value. My SO's have literally saved lives! We each benefit from having direct contact with senior leadership in our orgs, and good understanding of the business side of our industries.

Other than that, I'm not sure what advice I can give to avoid this problem, but I'd like to assert that the worthlessness of data is not a universal experience.

> escrow would be better than the current situation?

Print shops won’t accept escrow, so you’d still need a guarantor. They’re screwed if escrow is revoked or payment never comes. You also won’t use escrow for a €5,000 donation on account of cost: to the agent, for the contract and in the added search cost for a sponsor.
I ran Sparrow (last release in 2011) until last year. It's weird how software from older eras seems to work fine across a decade of OS changes, but I'm told that modern software is like a delicate flower that wilts with each patch if I don't pay $1.99/mo.

Has software development regressed that far or is this just an excuse?
