I find personally that my math ability is set to approximately 2-3 levels "below" the highest level math I completed, and I've seen hold for others. I have an applied math bachelors so I've taken analysis, dynamical systems, and other high level math classes, but I find that the stuff that I actually remember at a level to pass undergrad exams is up to linear algebra or maybe a little more advanced. Of course if I were to relearn it'd be much faster, but years of being a software engineer have caused me to forget all that stuff.
> however, it was seldom used

It was actually used very frequently for about 300 years, as you can see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_dictators . It was, however, a relatively weaker position, and mostly focused on dealing with external threats that required urgency in logistical and military choices. The modern definition really comes from Sulla and later Caesar, who resuscitated the practice after several generations of disuse, and took it to the extreme.

The heavy booster can be the same, and any mission beyond LEO will require refuelling, and the tankers can be standardised.

I think the terminal mission component is always going to have to be customised to the mission type. A Lunar lander and Mars lander are very different beasts, but even just basing those on a basic Starship hull is a big win over completely custom from scratch systems such as the Blue Origin lunar lander.
I think this was copied from Latacora’s cryptographic right answers without some of the necessary context. It’s specifically talking about the KMS offerings from AWS/Google Cloud, which provide trusted hardware implementations of not just key management, but also symmetric/asymmetric encryption, HMAC, etc. All the symmetric constructions provided by these platforms are AEADs, so the point is, if you’re using AWS’s KMS, don’t think about it, just use the default. Which is fairly sensible advice.
Wouldn't I be able to patent the idea of landing a rocket using a reverse launch process and stabilization fins and jets, even if I'm not even capable of landing a stone? If the implementation doesn't matter than I just locked everyone else out of landing rockets for decades.

The idea is worth something but so is the implementation because ideas are generic and the more specific you make them, the more you actually define an implementation, in the physical world at least.
Your online what? That name is super weird.
> That's what a patent is though. Protection for the idea, not the implementation.

Is it, though? Like the lightbulb patent was for the specific way of making a lightbulb, not on "something that makes light from electricity".

To be clear, what Berne does is remove the requirement to get a registration in every single country in the world if you make a copyrighted work. You may be required to file a copyright claim with your local copyright office, but otherwise the main goal of Berne was to make it frictionless to pursue someone in say, Germany, for violating a copyright registered in Italy, without needing to register that same copyright again at the German copyright office.

As for what's used internationally - 50 years after author death at minimum is mandated by Berne. Practically it's author death + 70 years or if there's a shorter international length for a foreign work, then apply that.

That's because that is Germany's copyright law, which got harmonized across the EU. The US's "Sonny Bono act", which extended copyright to the same length, was mostly aimed at not having Hollywood movies and other such exports fall to the public domain in Europe after 50 years (the prior extension, which was made to be a signatory to Berne).
"At research level" is the keyword here. We've both the second highest number of Fields medalists and a frankly low score at the 2018 PISA evaluation (especially in comparison to other European countries). The maths education in secondary and higher eduction is somewhat elitist, in the sense that it's not suited for all kinds of students.

The problem is not that people in the West are not listening to both sides. A lot of people still have a very selective attention to what russia says. Specifically, people choose to ignore Putin's outright hitlerian speech at the start of the war, people choose to ignore prominent russian media personalities calling for ethnic cleansing in Ukraine. Just recently a horrible video of Wagner troops beheading a Ukrainian POW surfaced and Skabeeva in prime time said something to the effect "this is what should happen to all Ukrainians".

Instead, in some Chomskian myopia there is a considerable number of people in Europe and USA spreading FUD and reducing their opinion to "war is bad (sad emoji face) Ukraine shouldn't do war".

That's assuming perfect sun exposure on a roof or ground moving with no shadowing at any time of the day and at the optimal tilt.

Pvwatts says that usable energy from a 1480W system at 43.6N in Boise ID might be more like 77kWh a month in December, the shortest sunlight month of the year.

An off grid system generally needs to be calculated to survive December. January will be a few percent better as days start getting longer.

Realistically, to get through entire week long periods of snow and overcast, if I had a load that was 50kWh a month I would want a 75-80kWh a month predicted PV production system to make it worry free in December.

> no way to monetize it

I don’t understand this. Where you giving it away?
I wonder, would it be possible that the human body has some sort of "shutdown mechanism" when it realizes that it simply doesn't have enough resources to carry on as usual? I imagine this mechanism would turn off the pain centers and the fight or flight responses needed for survival and instead make the experience of passing away more acceptable, relaxing, maybe even pleasant. Steve Jobs' last words were: "Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow". I can't help but wonder what he was "wowing" about?

I think most people will use Mastodon and Twitter through their respective apps (or different apps om the case of Mastodon). Inside the app, following people isn't really that different from following people on Twitter.

I do think Mastodon can use a better follow button, though, but I don't know how to really do that without a browser extension that can access arbitrary websites (aka "a bad idea").

I know web applications can register protocol handlers, so perhaps an web+activitypub:// protocol combined with installing such a handler upon login at one's home server might help? Of course Safari doesn't implement this, but all other desktop browsers do and on mobile you can just use the apps.

> We (humans) just achieved fusion

There’s no sense in which that statement is true.

We’ve been doing fusion for 80 years. What was recently achieved was a small increase in efficiency of fusion. We’re really not all that much closer to being able to use it to generate useful power than the first fusion reactor 65 years ago. We’re still not even close to being able to produce more energy than we used to drive the reactor, and there’s a high probability that this won’t change in another 65 years.

> and that machine cost billions. It wasn't a toy. Money is the power to build the future.

Not if it’s wasted on impractical ideas like commercial fusion power, or colonizing Mars. Money without intelligence behind it wastes resources and destroys the planet.

> you can still win

The true cost of this alleged “winning” isn’t measured in money.
I enjoyed reading it, but I have a few comments from a (non US) legal perspective. I also shared these in the substack. I put them here for discussion.

A) One import aspect not hightlighted about the patent system is that it's intended to only verify the authenticity of a patent (substantially) if a conflict arises when the holder tries to enforce it. The checks to register a patent are comparatively minimal and formal.

B) If companies file an ARP sample dated to the time they filed the patent they have already proven that they 'built' the software idea which the patent covers. The point of the patent is then to describe the application is sufficient detail that it may be enforced.

If it is challenged the patent holder will have to prove his ARP meets the requirements of the patent. If it's too basic or the patent is too broad, the patent may well be invalidated.

C) I am curious why there is so much emphasis on CRP patents.
Are most software patents are CRP patents?
No, not at all, take 10% of the military budget, up the tax right for the high earners and make a better world. Imagine a place where no one had to be scared of living on the street, could get decent food, has access to free education and health care. What a wonderful world. It's totally within our capabilities and no one need suffer. Now I'm not saying it will be a great life but a basic life, it's been proved over and over that the limiting factor for a number of minorities is poverty, so unless you address that first nothing will be solved. Sure some people will abuse it, but think of the kids that will be able to get an education and eat properly, and its just easy.
Yeah my SO had a math teacher in middle school which had (as far as I can determine) decided she wasn't good at math. He didn't like those who weren't good, so he never helped her and even talked her down in class. As such she started to resent the math classes, and later on she avoided math, focusing on other things.

We met when she had her last year in high school, and she was unsure what to do for college or otherwise. She ended up taking a gap year to figure things out. I encouraged her to explore the options, and through a friend found she really wanted to do construction engineering.

To do that, she had to take a year to get some extra math and physics classes.

The start was rough, she had a fear of math and was lacking in basics like algebra. But she was determined to try. Meanwhile I'd been in college for a couple of years and gotten the basic math classes there for my CS degree. I enjoyed math, so tried to help her.

I quickly realized however I had to go back to basics and build some foundations. Back to basics with fractions, basic equation solving etc. After a few weeks of hard work from the both of us, and nearly giving up, things started to fall into place. She started to realized she could understand math, and with that it became a lot more fun.

After a couple of months, it turned out she was actually quite good at math! She picked up new concepts without much struggle, and my help was less and less needed. At the end of the year she passed the exams with high marks, and all I had done to help prepare was just to sit with her and check her answers as she went through previous exams.

@ta1243 its 2:40am PST. Sorry I can't reply to you directly, apparently HN has some comment thread depth limits. (Who knew?) Yeah sorry I forgot to include all of the time zones covering the entire country and its possessions.

Post edit. I'm not sure what you want. All I did was post the 4 standard American time zones that affect most of the somewhat 330 million Americans living in the continental part of the country.

Why is the original timezone post generating any conversation at all? This is insane.
That might protect their direct distribution mechanism, but it doesn't change the far bigger bugbear, which is Intellectual Property. Almost every mod or ROM hack makes use of the original IP its applied to, in order to market itself. A Kaizo Mario romhack for example will kinda inherently use the Mario IP to get people interested. IP that is owned by, in this case, Nintendo.

Game companies haven't sued mostly because whenever it happens in a legal gray area (which is where romhacks and mods are - and a legal gray area is illegal if you don't want to retain a lawyer), they ended up getting blasted by their competitors (who often already do the same thing) in court.

It's worth looking into the game industry's legal cases (or hell, look at the Sony complaints about the Microsoft takeover of ActiBliz) - the industry is more than glad to try and legally kneecap a competitor if they can get it through on a precedent. Almost funny really. SEGA did the same thing back in the 90s.

I wasn't talking about SNES romhacks either (I said modern). Pretty much any system from the turn of the millennium onwards (which is the majority of systems nowadays) uses something comparable to a TPM, which means breaking them is needed and therefore, it's illegal.

I disagree, this is a problem that needs solving. Clicking the link on my phone brought up Mastodon's web interface (which is fine) but there's no way for me to easily follow this account.

It's important to understand the context behind this, Rishi Sunak went to one of the top private schools in the country, he went on to study PPE, went to Goldman and then was parachuted in to a safe tory seat, he then took on various positions at the treasury before becoming Chancellor and then PM.

All this is to say- Rishi Sunak has literally never in his life had any contact at all with state maths education in this country. This is just one of those weird idiosyncrasies of a guy who has a really strong opinion that maths is important having done absolutely nothing to study the issue.

So what we end up with is a policy where Rishi Sunak plans to make maths education better... whilst massively cutting school budgets. Teachers unions are all voting to strike because he tried to negotiate a pay deal with them that involved them getting a pay rise that had to be funded out of existing school budgets (ie, you can have a pay rise, but it's going to mean you have to turn the central heating off in your schools and stop mending the holes in the roofs). It's just a completely out of touch approach. This new initiative won't touch the sides against the damage childrens eduction will take due to the failure to pay teachers properly.
Japanese companies aren't profitability centric. The society at large is not built on capitalist ideals, though not exactly communist either.
