This is a slightly off topic question but commenters here might have an answer.

In the original double slit experiment, how do they actually know that they are emitting a just a single photon. The entire experiment depends on this being the case, but how is it done? Especially way back when it was first performed. How could they confidently say that have an apparatus that can reliably only emit a single photon, yet at the same not be clear about whether light was a wave or a particle.
Hypothetically one could argue but practically I’d argue it will eventually need to train and fine tune itself and for that we need boost in computing. At least this is my guess.
Making medical software that people actually want to use is impressive. I just applied for the Senior Software Engineer role via the Greenhouse link. Looking forward to speaking with you!
>So, I initiated a transfer of the domain name to the old university email address of their co-founder, and told them they'd have to ask him for it. And something about this being an opportunity for discussing don't-be-evil.

And it worked! They clearly did. And dropped "Don't be evil" from having anything to do with the company's present or future. How long between that and them selling ML services to the pentagon for kill-bots? :(

(Still a great story and I like your response, more power to you.)
I'd invite you to read "Foundation Models and Fair Use"[1] which is a paper written as a collaboration between Standford's law school and computer science department.

It talks at length about this specific problem and migration techniques for it:

Existing foundation models are trained on copyrighted material. Deploying these models can pose
both legal and ethical risks when data creators fail to receive appropriate attribution or compensation.
In the United States and several other countries, copyrighted content may be used to build foundation
models without incurring liability due to the fair use doctrine. However, there is a caveat: If the model
produces output that is similar to copyrighted data, particularly in scenarios that affect the market
of that data, fair use may no longer apply to the output of the model. In this work, we emphasize
that fair use is not guaranteed, and additional work may be necessary to keep model development
and deployment squarely in the realm of fair use. First, we survey the potential risks of developing
and deploying foundation models based on copyrighted content. We review relevant U.S. case law,
drawing parallels to existing and potential applications for generating text, source code, and visual art.
Experiments confirm that popular foundation models can generate content considerably similar to
copyrighted material. Second, we discuss technical mitigations that can help foundation models stay
in line with fair use. We argue that more research is needed to align mitigation strategies with the
current state of the law.

They are not all taken. The AI just knows when you are about to buy one then buys it before you do.
> Except it doesn't scale that well to all of the different operations. How do you distinguish between a signed and an unsigned high multiply? What do you do for operations like count-trailing-zeros or popcount, which don't map to standard operator symbols? How do you distinguish between nontemporal loads, atomic loads, sign-extended byte-to-word loads, etc.?

Yes - that's where is falls down :(
I think the elitism question is related to mobile gaming being considered casual while there's a gender disparity. So if you say mobile gaming is bad, which it is, you're insulting female gamers. (From the perspective of certain bloggers)

Moderate Drinking Has No Health Benefits, Analysis of Decades of Research Finds
International shipping at Alibris is around $US 20 per book.
I've heard the pattern phrased:

95 Good, 98 Bad, 98 SE Good, ME Bad, XP Good, Vista Bad, 7 Good, 8 Bad, 10 Good.

Counting 98 SE as a separate release does seem like cherry-picking in order to make the pattern work. Then again, you could also say the cycle started with Windows 98 (putting the whole of that release into the good pile), and you'd still have a remarkably consistent pattern across two decades and seven versions of Windows. Honestly makes you wonder if there's some deeper cause related to Microsoft's organizational structure or something.
The "Levels" in Somerset (UK) were drained from the C12th much of which involved Dutch engineers later on. It's not quite the same as your polders but quite a lot of village names here basically mean "island". Glastonbury Tor may well be the origin of the fabled Isle of Avalon. The Tor is a hill that was surrounded by marshland and waterways - it was only accessible by boat. Nowadays you drive up to it. There's a tower on it - the Tor.

You may not be a fan of the old school windmills but I think they are a marvel of engineering. They were built without finite element analysis, CAD and all the rest. Take a look at say the iconic row of mills on Kinderdijk. They are pumps with sodding great archimedes screws that shuffle water from low to high. It has to be said that the Netherlands really go to grips with mills.

The old school job is a tower mill - a tower with some sails on it and a simple pair of gears or a pulley system to turn a grooved round stone over another one to mill flour.

I believe that most of the subsequent innovations in windmill technology were largely invented in the Netherlands and then copied or sold to elsewhere. By the time your forefathers (and mothers) had finished with them, you have things like a smock mill (the upper section looks a bit like a smock worn by rural workers) with a tail vane that automatically rotates the upper section of the mill into the prevailing wind. The sweeps are adjustable and can be rotated like an aircraft propellor - even feathered for a storm and the sails can be reefed much like a sailing boat's sails.

There was the post mill - with a wooden trestle that a boxy shaped mill sits on with the sweeps and sails attached. The post mill was ideal if only wood is available and no bricks or whatever to make a tower. The smock was handy if you have some bricks to make a base and a lot of wood to make a lighter structure on top. The tower is basically very strong. There are several more options. There is an awful lot more to mill construction and design choice than you might idly imagine. Stuff built 300 years ago was absolutely using what we might consider cutting edge design decisions.

Some relatives of mine renovated a towermill with an onion cap and tail vane to move the cap in Northamptonshire about 30 years ago. It took quite a few years but the flour it eventually produced was delightful. On the opening day we had to use long poles to get it started because the breeze was a bit naff. The bread baked from its flour in a big old wood oven tasted amazing.

The Cost of Increasing Wind Power: A Reality Check [pdf]
I did something similar when I needed to make an assembler for a web based IDE.

Since I was writing an assembler anyway, and I had no particular requirement to be compatible with existing assemblers, I got to play around with the mechanics of macros.

I created a directives

.snip <name>
.endsnip

and

.use <name>

to create a kind of inline module mechanism where snippits of code could be included if the code contained a .use with the same name. Multiple instances of .use would cause the snip to only be included once.

Combining snips with macros meant you could have a macro available and it could add supporting code on demand via .use.

Here's a gist loaded into the IDE
https://k8.fingswotidun.com/static/ide/?gist=ad96329670965dc...

The three Lines after init: Are all macros doing quite a bit of behind the scenes work.

init:
set_stack_pointer RAMEND
load_let_values
print_rom "Mode0 Text"

print_rom needs to reserve a space in the ROM for the text, and call a print routine with the pointer to the text.

The print routine has variables to indicate where the current cursor position is, where in memory the text buffer is etc. These are set up with macros

letw mode0_Page,$8000
letb mode0_Width,80
letb mode0_Height,60
letb mode0_CursorX,0
letb mode0_CursorY,0
letb mode0_Color,$20

Which allocate ROM space for the initial values and set the symbols to indicate their RAM position. The macro load_let_values inserts the code required to transfer the ROM initial values into their ram locations.

In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have made an assembler a line-by-line processor, there are a bunch of nesting things that I think would have some tough jobs easier.

Anyway, if anyone wants a idiosyncratic AVR macroassembler that no one asked for it's on github https://github.com/Lerc/AvrAsm
Good news. Slows down the AI grifters taking advantage of open-source and selling their snake oil.
That's not how litigation works. It is not zero cost for the plaintiff. It is not all "sunk cost."

Besides that they usually hire outside counsel who are used to doing litigation, If that firm isn't based in the city where the suit was filed, then they hire local counsel who's appeared in front of that judge.

There are court costs, witness costs, deposition expenses... it goes on and on. It is definitely not handled all in-house by the Monster legal team.
Seems like Zipline[1] is pretty close, but for me the question is less "can you do it properly?" and more "why would we take this approach?" I'd definitely want some compelling numbers on CO2, traffic reduction etc. (which may all be true, but I wouldn't want us to charge into the Jetsons just because we can).

I see it's said in a jest, but an optimizing C compiler does so much more than macro expansion that it's not even funny (when looking at the resulting assembly).

> Chiropractice is not quackery from start to finish.

I would say it is. The wiki page is quite enlightening.

vertebral subluxation leads to interference with an "innate intelligence" exerted via the human nervous system and is a primary underlying risk factor for many diseases.

It goes on.

Your fortune teller could tell you they predict your health will improve if you lose weight and eat better, or you might get a real psychological benefit from acupuncture that helps your health for example. It is not that no "alternative medicine practitioner" or snake oil salesman can ever give good advice or help anybody in any way, it is that their practice is not based on science.

I'd never ridicule someone for using alternative medicine, or even doubt they get benefits. And I completely understand the draw of trying alternatives when people are desperate with health problems or have been failed by the medical system one way or another. I can't say I wouldn't try alternatives myself, and I know for a fact the whole medical system can be a shit show and is not always aligned to getting the best outcome for the patient. But I am happy to make people aware that chiropathy is not a field of medicine or based in science if it is being recommended, so they can make an informed choice. It masquerades as being a legitimate medical field, which is the real problem with it and is why I call it quackery.
This stat probably includes older Americans in their 80s and 90s. Many immigrated in their teens, from small villages, in the early 1940s/50s. Let's say you left rural Italy in 1940, as an 11 year old. Started working in America at 16, in 1946. Many jobs in America at that time didn't require much literacy, for example working in a textile mill, or an assembly line.
That's interesting, I didn't know QEMU could emulate PPC well enough to run that.

That’s why courts recognize trademark dilution as a valid reason to invalidate someone’s trademark. Consumers naturally start using prominent marks genetically as the difference between products disappears.

The practical problem is that there’s no real way to test this until a case is brought. You might be able to bring your own crock-pot to market, but unfortunately the only tool to legally evaluate whether that’s okay is the legal system itself. I’m not sure there’s a good way around that other than making the legal system more accessible in general.
Taking data for a whole country and drawing conclusions about a specific region may not be so good. For example, in the paper there is a lot of talk about bad data in the US but when they turn to the blue zone in the US there is no issue with the data. It's considered well kept.

For other places, like Sardinia, they don't explain whether the variations (1st of a month, etc) are happening at the local level. Can the data there be trusted? We are left to draw conclusions because many gaps aren't explicitly filled in.

The blue zones project limited the places they would label a blue zone to those that had good data. Many places were rejected because the data wasn't good. Looking at those places, like the UK or France, and stating they have untrustworthy data actually confirms the blue zones work of rejecting claims there due to untrustworthy data.

The essence of hacking culture remains with Hacktivism, hacking "for the Man," and everything in-between as it is all still...hacking. The profession attracts a very specific type of person and greatly rewards those who excel. Why is the culture considered lost if state-sactioned? In my opinion, that would be some of the most exciting exposure, with an added benefit of zero legal woes.
I think DRAM always worked this way. It's because the chips are physically organized into rows and columns, and the row must be selected first.
I'll quote another comment:
> Javice interfered in due diligence in a very sophisticated way. JPMC tried to verify user data but Javice claimed they couldn't provide user personal information "due to privacy concerns". In the end Javice was able to convince due diligence team by engaging in multiple layers of fraud. Sure due diligence team could've done a better job, but Javice was a sophisticated adversary. It's not like due diligence team didn't have any concerns. But they wanted to balance their concerns against possibility of passing a good deal due to formality.
I'm really curious about the arguments for sticking to those lower pin numbers. Was it for compatibility? Or packaging costs? Like what was the downside of using more pins (up until a certain point, obviously, but it seems like other manufacturers had no issues with going for higher pin numbers!)

That's a more severe version of what my child had in elementary school. To keep classes the right size, they would have a few 1st grade classes and a few 2nd grade classes and one 1st/2nd shared classroom. Repeat for each of the following years. My child was always put in the younger half of the shared classroom. After 3rd grade the principal invited them join the regular 5th grade class and skip 4th grade altogether.

These examples imo are often sources of added fluff to process. The goal of the presentation is to get the point across. Unfortunately, I see too many people make these terrible powerpoints, where its clear they spent too much time making the template sexy and not enough time considering what content the content is. My favorite powerpoints are the ones where people use the default white background and text, and just put up a single figure per slide and describe them versus talking off bullet points with a bunch of junk imagery. If I am reading a sentence on your slide, I am incapable of listening what is coming out of your mouth at the same time. Basically, the slide deck should only take you as much time to make as pasting your figures over to it.
Unfortunately this is not the case with many Geiger counters, especially older ones. Geiger-Muller (GM) tubes detect radiation by measuring ionization events. When a high energy particle passes through the tube, it leaves a little trail through which electricity can flow, but only for a moment — this temporary flow of electricity is amplified and fed into the detection circuit, and it also what is used to generate the typical clicking noise. The Geiger counter is basically an edge detector + summing circuit with decay.

When a GM tube is overloaded, the particles create too many overlapping trails, and the tube cannot stop conducting electricity. This continuous flow of electricity does not trigger the edge detector, so it thinks the level of radiation is zero. Some modern equipment has an alarm for this condition.

1. *Not that special*
Honestly, this isn't too impressive. It's just a pump that sends a request to GPT-4 and gets a response. The buffer isn't anything extraordinary.

2. *Sectional content generation*
What's interesting is how you can format a prompt to give GPT-4 the context of a section. It then generates content relevant to that section and the overall document.

3. *Deciding what to write next*
It's cool that GPT-4 can analyze a document and suggest possible sections to expand upon. We can then choose which direction to take next.

4. *One-click content generation*
I like the idea of a simple button that generates context-appropriate content based on your current location in the document.

5. *Standardized text manipulation*
This approach offers a standardized way to select a region, generate a prompt, and manipulate text. You can shorten or lengthen it, change the timing, fix grammar issues, or even adapt it for posting on Twitter. It's a versatile method for content generation.

I'm nodding along to this list because I've been consulting with a large government department that has dozens of programmers with the effective output of maybe... two? Three at the most.

They tick just about every item on that list. Staggering inefficiencies everywhere, duplicated work, duplicated codebases, etc, etc...

The worst thing about these problems is that they compound, often exponentially or at least quadratically. Slow builds mean bug fixes take longer. Longer bug fix times means they can't all be fixed to meet deadlines. That means that they now have to be prioritised, which incurs management overheads and shuffling things around in spreadsheets. This then delays things further, which means even critical requirements (security!) get dropped on the floor.

The inevitable consequence is that things are constantly breaking in production, and everyone spends half their time fighting fires. Fires that were marked as a "low-priority" smell of smoke six months ago.

Productive staff see the writing on the wall, quit, leaving only the unproductive staff that "couldn't get a job elsewhere".

The snowball builds rapidly from here into an avalanche of badness.

This is indeed frustrating, and it's the reason that when I play with newer players I strongly recommend to them not to place their 2 initial settlements on the same numbers!

If you put those initial settlements on 2 intersections that happen to restrict you to only rolls of 3, 6, and 9 you're in for a world of hurt even though 6 and 9 aren't "bad" numbers per se.
