Yes and no. First off, "the sm is correct" isn't how to think about this. Newtonian mechanics is "correct" for airplane flight, or even to calculate rocket trajectories. It's a low order approximant of relatavistic mechanics, though. It's incomplete, and you need to add higher order effects to correctly describe the orbit of Mercury, for example.

The SM is incomplete. Among many other things, it dramatically misses the amount of matter generated during the big bang (by about 10^7). To read about the generation of matter over antimatter, check out the Sakharov criteria. (Sakharov was also an interesting dude, but that's for another day.) Matter/antimatter asymmetry is coupled to symmetry violating processes, which also inevitably generate nonzero EDMs.

The SM includes a bit of this asymmetry, which is why it predicts an eEDM at all. The SM's prediction is so small that any detection has to come from beyond SM sources.
How do you see this as relevant to the discussion?

It's true that that is the Library of Congress's official purpose. We don't have a true "National Library" like other countries have. (Whose purposes aren't actually those of what we think of as "public libraries" either). The Library of Congress ends up fulfilling many of those purposes, despite it's official mission being facilitating Congressional research. Which is kind of a messy situation.

I don't think the "National Recording Registry" has anything to do with facilitating Congressional research at all, does it?

According to wikipedia:

> The National Recording Registry is a list of sound recordings that "are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States." The registry was established by the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000,[1] which created the National Recording Preservation Board, whose members are appointed by the Librarian of Congress. The recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry form a registry of recordings selected yearly by the National Recording Preservation Board for preservation in the Library of Congress.

> The National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 established a national program to guard America's sound recording heritage. The Act created the National Recording Registry, The National Recording Preservation Board and a fund-raising foundation.[2] The purpose of the Registry is to maintain and preserve sound recordings and collections of sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant...

So, these purposes were in fact created by Congress.... but they are different purposes than the original primary function of facilitating congressional research.

Because of the convenience of playing them on the new consoles. The only people I know who have bought Super Mario Bros Virtual Console releases are the sorts of people who'll buy additional ports of Portal to Nintendo consoles. They're buying the port (the emulator), not the ROM; the availability of the ROM image is not cutting into Nintendo's sales.
I want to create a spiritual successor to this but I'm only a dev, and not an artist. It's really killing me. I want to make a game like this before I die, but it's looking unlikely.
I woke up in the middle of the night and of course opened up HN. This was near the top and was an interesting read.

I told my GF that last night I had insomnia and found myself researching why Aztec monks die when picking up a relic, and that doing so resulted in plumbing the depths of an important computer science topic.

She said "Sounds like you were reading Hacker News". She knows me so well now :)
Ha. I just sent my friend working at a MAANG this article https://swizec.com/blog/if-you-re-so-good-why-aren-t-you-mak... but now the game has changed. 600k ha. I laugh at your 600k. Plus my 5 million job is fun.
If you compare the Valorant and CS:GO communities, the Valorant community has a much easier time onboarding people and a much smaller cheating problem. That's all because of Vanguard, their much more intrusive anti-cheat that uses an early mode kernel driver.

VAC (user-mode) is easily broken for the most part so players willingly navigate to external platforms for CSGO like ESEA and FaceIt which use their own hand-rolled intrusive kernel mode anti-cheat.

Maybe it's best if Microsoft just baked this into Windows. It's intrusive, but clearly players demand it for competitive games. Streaming isn't a solution to that, the latency is unacceptable in shooters.

I'm a little confused by all of the uproar here. From what I read, it's this:

"GM said it will gradually shift to built-in infotainment systems that use Google's Android Automotive platform."

I'm driving a new Volvo that has exactly this, and it allows CarPlay. In fact, the next software update looks like it will support CarPlay2.

Click on the Automation tab at the bottom, and at least for me, the "CarPlay" section (with an example "When CarPlay connects") is at the bottom of the second grouping of suggested automations.

Fiber is better and cheaper here. Something to look out for in your area too.
If an employee simply picks up and starts doing their job from another country, they will almost certainly be still paying all the same taxes they usually pay in the country where their job is located. To relieve yourself of that tax burden requires a significant restructuring of your employment, tax residency in a new country, and most likely a double taxation treaty with your home country. Even then, if you were a US citizen, moving to a lower tax jurisdiction is unlikely to provide any significant tax advantages due to the way the US taxes global income regardless of where you live/earn your income.

They are probably trying to emulate Teslas product strategy

Tesla doesn't offer android or iPhone carplay. Instead they try to offer a software experience superior to those. It does Spotify, gps, etc but also manages the car itself.

Depending on what the user is doing it makes sense. If the user mostly wanted their phone for music and directions, you can build that stuff in house and have it turn out okay. If the user wants carplay for much more than that, then it's not good.
10 GBPS for $40/m? Where in the world do you live?
520/520 fiber $170/mo counting the static IP. Price likely due to no competition. Only alternatives are a highly congested LTE network or Starlink. very rural area I also had to pay to trench in the fiber as I was late to the party. Early subscribers trenching was paid for by the federal government.
Yes. These are just brands - like Ben and Jerry’s and Popsicles from Unilever.

CBC is the outlier however as it is consistently Liberal supporting.

Yeah my last place was like this, and all the non-engineers sucked at their jobs leaving engineers to pick up the slack on everything from project planning to sprint planning, to engaging with users, gathering requirements, prioritizing tasks, etc.

This despite having an entire product team who was making all sorts of insane non-product decisions (technologies, programming languages, binary storage formats, vendors to outsource to, etc).

The product team was somehow too busy to make it to any meetings with tech leads & devs, despite seemingly not talking to users either since we were left doing so. We'd have 10hrs/sprint of planning meetings, and our product guy would show up for 30 minutes of one meeting. Unbelievable stuff.
Could you share some of those that you follow? Just want to see what is possible
Thank you both, this is a good suggestion. I'll leave the short connection on screen, comparing it with the long and windy path is fun.
depressing to read the strap-line calling it a "fad", somewhat dismissively.
An example of a well thought-out dashboard is the Mercedes dashboard [1]. One screen spans the entire view of the driver replacing the speedometer, etc. Another screen spans the middle dashboard replacing the radio. The screens are not iPad like proportions that jut out. In fact, it is designed to seem like it is just one screen spanning from left to right. And it is well-proportioned.

I mentioned this before in an a previous post in April[2]. Car Dashboard designers are not good at software innovation. But they are good at positioning buttons into the right places. or move stuff around here and there. It's what they do. Like moving radio controls onto the steering wheel. In the case of Mercedes, they move the maps feature right into the driver's view. And they offer it in different formats, like text view, Augmented reality camera view, or map view. The same goes for radio content.

Hate to say it, but the flexibility the Mercedes dashboard offers makes it a more superior option compared to the built-in CarPlay and Android Auto that is also. I rarely use this superior option (or whenever I don't feel like connecting my phone by wire) because I am satisfied with CarPlay, and less satisfied with Android Auto (it crashes satellite view map).

Dashboard designers want more of the OS apps to be configurable and stretchable across the interface they install.

The problem with Low Code is that it isn't No-Code.

If I have some problem that I can just jam into IFTTT and leave it forever, I will do that and be very happy.

If I then need to do something that requires changing the setup, I am coding. Suddenly I have to think about the requirements developing in the future, where to keep the repo, how to deploy it, how to change dependencies, having someone look after it.

The lie in low-code is that the first thing is like the second thing. If you aren't a dev, I can sell you a thing pretending it's the first thing, and then you are stuck with all the issues when it morphs into the second.

Excel is perhaps the best example of this. You think you don't need to understand coding, because how hard is it to wire up some cells? Time passes and you have a bunch of VBA scripts and DLLs hooked up to buttons on your spreadsheet, and it turns out things were a lot more complicated than you thought.
It’s not hard to come up with examples. For example the United States explicitly prohibits you from doing remote work:

”[…] any noncitizen who earns an income in the US must have proper work authorization from the United States government. Working while physically present in the US, even for a foreign employer and even if any earnings are paid into a foreign bank account, will still be classed as work.“

Let me go up the stack one level: why does Windows allow this kind of software to install at all !? Couldn't most cheating methods be defeated by requiring a signed executable to run, coupled with a complete lock of the input methods to the signed executable running?

I'm at a loss as to why the debate here is on Valve and the devs, when I can't get past the initial step: you can install THAT on Windows?
Have you actually seen a helicopter? Know anything more than they are rotary wing aircraft? Do you know about rotor wash or range, especially when carrying a load? Do you know how difficult flying with a hanging load it is and how much stress it puts on the airframe? Did you know airframes can bend since the entire aircraft is supported by its rotor head while the airframe itself is actually carrying the weight?

Your robo horse thing also ignores the energy usage of an animal vs robot. The animal has a distinct advantage.

Again, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Hopefully you’re not an engineer by trade, as you’re failing at pros and cons here.
General Patton and a ton of other military generals wanted to invade Russia. The way Russia treated it's army, prisoners of war, the ideological differences and many other factors led to a potential alternate history where the US invades Russia after WW2.
Everything that includes the word never in a field we do not know enough about (neuroscience,philosophy,ai) is plain and simple silliness.
In terms of Unreal blueprints they may be low syntax but they are not low code - you still need to know software development techniques or you will end up in a pile of garbage very quickly (which you can also do with any other language).

Audrey's experience with burnout is unfortunately all too common in the tech industry. It's important to recognize that burnout is a structural issue, built on individualism and meritocracy. As Audrey suggests, structural problems require structural solutions. Healthy organizations can lead to healthier individuals. Support and recovery funds should be available to those affected by burnout. It's time for the tech industry to prioritize the well-being of its employees and work towards creating an environment that doesn't lead to burnout.
Just saw I wrote the same comment using the same storng wording. Sometimes it's warranted :)
Yes you could summarize them as having almost opposite effects.

Depression - it's hopeless, there's nothing I can do..

Burnout - it's hopeless, but there's so much I can do, let me burn myself out trying to do all of it at once, even though it won't move the needle more than 1%. Almost like "Sunday scaries" but all the time or months nonstop. Just a constant mid-level anxiety & panic.

That's a great idea! A big part of why I keep a personal list is because I can include things I really understand and care about (I tend to read more about archeobotany). But I highly encourage anyone to keep their own list. It's fun to watch it grow over time as you add entries that are actually meaningful to you
"Imagine an electron as a spherical cloud of negative charge" sorry man, you lost me on the very first sentence
Most companies have a huge and wide class division. It’s just that the differences used to be subtle and mostly hidden, but lately they are now more overt and in your face.

The traditional class divisions were mostly hidden: Companies strongly try to hide salaries. Chauffeurs and company limos for the execs operate from private back doors reserved for the execs. Lavish outings are usually kept secret. Huge perks like company-provided vacation houses and yachts are kept way on the down low.

WFH is harder to hide. When only the exec class gets to do it, and all the cogs need to be crammed into the office, this is overt and gets noticed. When your WFH office is bigger than most people’s apartments, it gets noticed (the execs in my company have caught on to this one and now all blur/tone-down their videoconf backgrounds). In retail, when management makes all the worker bees wear masks yet exempts themselves, it’s noticed.
It just means they are quite easy to get rid of in practice, and likely to be disposed of "naturally" eventually, unlike other substances.

It’s a first step for sure.

Look at the time or look at letters. They are all fractal gibberish if you look at them closely during dreaming.

But that might just be part of the dream.

I’ve more than once floated into letters that would reveal more and more shapes just like zooming animations of fractals. But it hasn’t caused me to realize it was a dream, let alone take control of it.

Lots of crazy and spacey things happens in dreams, that you just accept.
So what happens when the poorest 51% vote themselves all the money from the richest 49%?

Our current politics isn’t even representative of what people want, it is a mind control contest. Whoever can manipulate the population the best wins.

What if I changed my suggestion to only people who pay net taxes get to vote. This would disqualify people living on social security so the comment I was replying to would get their wish.

Voting isn’t a natural right, the way speech or self defense is. Voting is participating in making decisions about how the country will be run and what force can be used to curtail other members of the society.

The whole concept of universal suffrage was probably silly to begin with. There should be a buy-in. If you can’t even pull your life together, why should you be empowered to influence how I live mine?

Also, why is is somehow less radical to want to disenfranchise the elderly?
Perhaps not commercially viable but I would love to pay like… $100 for me and two friends to sit in a mock-up CM+LEM and replay a time compressed (say, 30 min) scenario such as the 13 catastrophe, or 11 moon landing, a reentry, etc. CAPCOM can be the moderator who can provide an appropriate level of guidance. Switches and buttons can flash to indicate the ones to press. Or even a “you’re on your own” for hardcore fans or people who love to screw with the script and die in a glorious explosion.
I agree, talent is triumphant. May I kindly ask where did you and your friends first meet?
Or WiFi. Or the USB protocol.
This would require competent senior programmers who are way too expensive, and anyways once hired are used for bullshit tasks like project management.
I try to keep my list focused on entries that are meaningful to me (I have an interest in archeobotany) so I only add things I feel I have a good understanding of. But I highly recommend other people try keeping their own similar lists and watching them grow over time. Really helps out when you come across articles dealing with big timespans
Jeez. A walled garden gated by a bureaucratic rubber stamping process (which I'm sure can't scale with the pace of software creation) sounds awful.

Path of lesser resistance: sandbox games. And have weak (serverside)/no anticheat. Cheating in games isn't as big of a deal as malware in your kernel[0,1]. It's just not that important.

This is indicative of a larger malaise in American capitalism where MBAs have infiltrated all levels of organizations and burn an asset to "optimize" some internal business metric.

It really isn't whether CarPlay or Android is better. The fact that it is a choice that the auto manufacturer would make at all and b) it wouldn't listen to their customer base.

If I was on the GM board or a major shareholder, I would have huge questions about leadership.
One paper will be the most cited. One paper will be the earliest.

Unless they are the same there is not _one_ answer, what you get is an efficient set (the earliest paper with at least X citations / the most cited paper as of D).

And of course there is the problem of making the list of relevant papers in the first place.
The first true AGI will likely foom immediately.

There's a yellow mica pigment that when used in soap making it turns a very reddish-orange (almost like rust) until the saponification has completed and then returns to yellow. It is very disheartening the first time you see it and start to think how your batch of soap is going to not be what you hoped, and then 24 hours later it looks exactly how you hoped.
I think your instinct is right: the dark glass is going to negate any test.

I always assumed that products like olive oil sold in thick green bottles were sensitive to degradation by (UV, sun)light, so if that is true then by definition a casual in store test is not going to work. But perhaps green bottles mean nothing vis a vis light.

I do recall that brown bottles were a thing in brewing to prevent beer from becoming funky by the action of light, but perhaps oils aren't susceptible to that.
Was it a Russian influence operation?
But they are not academia. To pretend they are is disingenuous. Just because a group of people do research and write up their findings sometimes, does not make them academics.
Not really. The specifics about how a product is differentiated might seem like irrelevant minutia (fps or rendering times, for example) to an outsider while still being critical for market success.

Installing people into senior positions does not make them better at recognizing these factors, or more incentivized to care.

The point is that a senior can use your argument to trivialize the efforts of an engineer, seem reasonable to outsiders, and be wrong.
No, not really. Manufacturers make about 5%. Dealers make about 1-2%. People assume the margins are much higher because it's an expensive product, so there's a big gap between perception and reality.

Someone in a friend group I'm in was complaining that the mastodon instance they are part of was shutting down because the admins just didn't feel like running it any further. He was distressed because we won't be able to easily export all of his posts. Meanwhile, I'm just disenfranchised because it's the third instance this year to have that same fate.

If I ever create a mastodon it'll just be me, on my own VM.
And this somehow means to you that it doesn't work for them? That's not a correct interpretation.
>Supporting old hardware costs money because you need to write more tests.

Not supporting old hardware has major costs too: ewaste pollution. But of course those costs are 'externalized' and not borne by Apple, but by everyone else.

There are only 20 Billion Neurons in the Neocortex. GPT-3 has 175 Billion. GPT-4 scores 130 on IQ tests. They are absolutely in the realm of the power of human brains. They're just exposed to different stimuli and have very narrow input/output.
I've been hoeing this row for a while now, and have a preference for these tools.

My current favourite is BlockSCAD:

https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/

which I've been using to explore 3D design and joinery:

https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/3d-project

The problem always becomes one of extensibility --- if you use a lot of modules, while functionality goes up, the expressiveness/communicativeness of the code goes down because you're back at a wall of text --- it's just one in pretty blocks.

What does an algorithm look like?

The Drakon folks sidestep this by claiming that there should be one desired path and just connecting blocks in a straight line.

I'm currently working in OpenSCAD Graph Editor:

https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor

which exposes _all_ of the OpenSCAD language, and allows me to loop in RapCAD and am trying to balance visual display and complexity.

I really wish there was a block programming or node graph interface for making a graphical application for Windows or Mac OS.
