In German, the & character is known as “kaufmännisches Und”, or “tradesman’s and”. For this reason, I used to believe that ampersand was really “amper’s and” and amper was somehow an obsolete word for tradesman.

Needless to say, that it not the case, but it felt very convincing.

Analog computers set up right can solve very small instances of NP problems extremely fast. However, they do not scale, as the measurement step (which is required to actually obtain the solution) becomes harder and harder with the size of the problem, as you need to distinguish finer and finer details. The energy needed to distinguish between two possible output values becomes prohibitive quite quickly (it may actually be exponential in the size of the problem, I'm not sure).
OP here: that’s a good idea that did come up to mind (specifically rotating the Redis queue credentials). I was just sure Heroku’s gonna take care of this shit by now.

BTW, I’m not 100% sure it’ll work: if Heroku updates that zombie dyno’s environment variables, it may still have access to the new credentials :/ (My Redis instance is also a Heroku add-on)
You could put the people who reach out into contact with one another, since obviously they have excellent taste.
I saw the same. I'm in San Jose, CA. I could access Reddit, DDG, Google, etc., but Discord, Twitter and DownDetector were inaccessible. Both cellular and hardwire ISP. Didn't seem to be DNS. I am wondering whether it was a regional infrastructure/peering issue.
How much use you can pull out of that depends on how it is zoned. In European cities it is not uncommon to have grocery stores, pubs, cafes, bakeries and such within walking distance of your home. My next grocery store is 2 minutes by foot. The next 24/7 store where I can get beer 5 minutes, the next park 8 minutes.

In the worst flat in these terms I ever had in a city over here was 10 minutes walk to the next grocery shop and this was a dirt cheap flat on a loud main road.

Even parts of the town where you have mostly residential housing will have the occasional small shop, grocery store, gas station or similar. If I understood zoning in the US correctly this kind of mixing is at times even forbidden?
Gas is much simpler than electricity. Electricity relies on the entire grid and control infrastructure. It's not something that is simply "delivered" despite our everyday terminology. Every single device on the grid, input and output, must be synchronized/balanced, thus outages cannot be resolved by simply flipping an on switch.

Their shortest run is the 3.5-miler on Wednesdays. That's kind of the best I can do on a good day. Their other runs are at least twice as long.

I don't think this is my jam, and I say that as someone who ran a 5k every day for three months last year to be able to enjoy literally this group.
This is incredible. Is there any way to use this directly from an encrypted img file on some remote computer (e.g. dropbox url)? It seems that 'network block devices' might help in that area, but it's unclear. Would be neat for industry to have a e2ee repo of many computers that can be streamed encrypted to a browser for working in.
This is exactly it. People are very busy with work, and work too much, and then there's so much choice socially, so they end up making plans for their free time several weeks in advance.

Would you mind sharing what topics your twitter consumption centers on?

For me it was the opposite, since a lot of Tech folks I followed moved over.

Folks I follow for IR/Politics and Linguistics still seem around. So, my twitter consumption has tilted away from Tech to those topics.
Can't wait to see where the industry goes.

I am a bit confused about the KMS advice.

KMS makes sense for encryption of data in cloud, since the companies already have access to data. It’s usually an additional layer of access control, monitoring and compliance.

But it seems a bad practice to have an external company create and manage cryptographic keys, and/or manage encryption of on-premise or personal data (like encrypting your backups with an AWS KMS key, client side, and uploading to S3).

Apart from that, KMS is a solution for key management. The users can use keys with any algorithm.

Also, I am not sure if AWS encryption SDK is particularly of high quality. Anyone knows?

This is actually a new phenomenon. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm older, but I've literally grown to see this shift in mindset. There was a time when it was common to invite neighbors over for dinner, now more often than not, it seems like people want to have bigger fences and less interaction with their community. Meanwhile, all mental health indicators are going in the wrong direction in the developed world.

If some company dumps toxic crap in the ocean, you don't have a choice to just go to an alternate universe where companies don't do that. It's a shared resource.

When Microsoft loads their OS with annoying ads, you have a simple choice to use it, or not. You can easily use a different OS if it bothers you so much. I don't see any ads in my OS...

>They are polluting our visual space. These ads are unwanted and not sought out.

You made a choice to buy an OS that has this pollution. That's on you, not Microsoft. MS offered you a crappy OS with ads in it at a certain (presumably low) price, and you accepted their offer. You could have used a different vendor, a free OS, or even a more-expensive version of Windows that doesn't have the ads.

This is nothing like environmental pollution. MS Windows is not a shared resource, it's a product from a private (publicly-held) corporation, offered for sale with the goal of making money for its shareholders.
My apologies, I've only skimmed, but maybe this encapsulates the main idea of your post?

"""
How MLPs could be trained was an open problem at the time, I think, but the field could easily have chugged along and we’d have been where we are now, just 30 years earlier.
"""

The main idea here is that we got an AI winter because expectations were too high and the reality didn't meet them?

I think this is fundamentally missing why we're making rapid progress now. In my opinion, the AI winter wasn't primarily because of a backlash against overhyped promises, it was because computation just wasn't there. We're just now starting to get access to the compute and storage needed, at a price point that's reasonable, to make progress in these areas.

In other words, the AI winter came about because the ground wasn't fertile. Now that we have economic massive computational resources, we're in an AI spring.

As a back of the envelope calculation, the human brain is estimated at around 2.5 Pb of storage [0]. At today's prices, that works out to about $50k. The cost of 2.5Pb of storage in 1969 was around $675B [1].

Shortwave radio depends on ionospheric conditions, which can be manipulated via nuclear blasts, ionospheric heating facilities, solar activity, and volcanos. Instead you must modulate a neutrino beam from international waters using a nuclear submarine for power. Fire any customers not willing to invest in kiloton-scale neutrino detectors.

There are not "get to know people" places, at least in places where I lived. You go to restaurant with people you already know, you dont just walk to table with someone you dont know to talk. Same with: random coffee shops, bars, clubs, hiking trails, farmer's markets and gym.

Parks are an exception ... if you have toddler with you.
Sure, but a toy problem that's substitutable for many other functions.

In this case you could substitute the XOR function for any other merge function.

As far as the variable depth is concerned, utilisation is an issue that introduces additional complexity, but otherwise I don't see the problem.

(No one's expecting fixed compute time for differently sized data elements.)

You can get around that one by building a log(n) threaded pipeline for your log(n) depth network (something like this: https://imgur.com/a/xL4rhFu).

I have been mulling over switching from Netlify to Vercel for a while for my personal site too.

Netlify has weird defaults for everything. It caches almost nothing by default. I had to create a Netlify headers file to tell them that actually yes I would like my CSS, JS, and fonts cached.

Absolutely absurd I had to do that. Even for font files. Because as we all know, the font files change so often that we should never cache them /s

All manner of dumb things like this. Really the only thing keeping me on Netlify is that it has for handling built in. That and fear of changing DNS settings (I use Google domains).
What value does Microsoft get by pushing MSN content on normal computer users (especially business computer users)?

Is there such value in getting eyes to linger on MSN that it's worth slowing down or distracting people who use their computers for actual tasks (as opposed to just wasting time and following any tempting "news" link)?

Is this a top-down decision from Microsoft, or is this a lack of adequate oversight on the part of the top execs who define strategy for Windows?
You still need people to talk and time slot to meet. Same scheduling issues.

I used to live in downtown of my 600k city. Moved back to outskirts of the same city. Driving is the smallest issue to meet.

Reading those discussions from afar, it feels like Americans are using urban sprawl as a scapegoat. While it's a problem everywhere else too. Even if you take away urban sprawl and driving, the problem will be there.
That is not a literal interpretation, it is an incorrect one. Notice your need to use different language in your explanation.

I was raised on iceberg lettuce - IMHO bitter biowaste - and discovered the joys of cabbage only later in life. My point being: If you're used to lettuce, give shredded cabbage a try. Not cole slaw, smothered in mayo. Try it with (say) a bit of sesame oil and some sesame seeds.

> ignores how new these experimental Russian, Chinese, & Indian reactor projects are.

The Russian projects I know of are 60+ years old now. They've been plenty successful.

> How much would these authoritarian entities share with the rest of the world? If heavy-industrialists like GE Hitachi & others start cranking out ultra-successful PUREX breeder reactors, find how to make them cost efffective, and then really many many nations start having these capabilities, doesn't that worry you, just a bit?

Not any more than it concerns me that the nations that already have these capabilities do. The non-authoritarian entities of today are the authoritarians of tomorrow and vice-versa. Eventually, this technology will make it out there in a cost-efficient and easily-reproduced manner, it's mostly just a matter of time.

And even if some less-than-friendly nations get access to this, and use it to make nuclear weapons, and then deploy them, unless we're talking about the deployment of a world-ending number of nuclear weapons (an arsenal that would need to really rival the current major nuclear powers) should not lead to a global nuclear exchange. Or more correctly, if it does lead to a global nuclear exchange, we deserve it for being so stupid as to escalate like that.
In the words of Norm McDonald, "It says here in this history book that luckily, the good guys have won every time. What are the odds?"
Doubtful. People in Taiwan don’t consider themselves Chinese. They don’t want anything to do with China. A lot of Taiwanese believe they have more in common with japan than they do with China.

After what happened with HK they do not believe China can be trusted at any capacity.

China is banking on KMT winning next year so they can try and invade from the inside. But Taiwan won’t go peacefully.
Hell yeah. And people it them for low-load situations where they could just use a db table or even just spawining a new process. 30k lines of code and several binary dependencies to run a handful of tasks because "it's the best way to do it".

I figured he probably was ... but in a round about way I'm sort of inferring it probably also uses the google location service to build a map, otherwise where do the suggested locations come from - if they're hard encoded in the map in the first place, the location is there to see and not selectable.
I also think just asking people questions is really important.
I think the cordialities have simple roots:

Germany won't engage militarily anyway and we will continue to trade, too. The only threat to the relations can only come from the CCP restricting trade.

Germany simply doesn't have a navy, overseas territories in the Pacific, nuclear submarine deals with Australia, a space force, a war-deciding satellite-internet company, or an air force that could fly further than Switzerland.

On the economic side, Maybachs and Porsches sold to Chinese customers pay for our standard for living. We won't bite the hand that feeds us.
On really crucial industries, we don't have anything, especially not in China: Social networks with billions of users, AI, computer chips, raw materials, PV cells - nothing. We couldn't cut them off from anything critical because we don't have it.

To China, we're harmless. That's why they don't care. Smile and wave, boys.
I some ways it's a bit like windows claiming OS1 to prevent OS2? This is also a pun, a very old one!

Hacker news is a startup community. Im making a startup now - there is a whole lot of times where you get hash criticism, dumb critism, criticism that shows they plainly didnt read/understand what you said. However, because of the way these things work, you just gotta eat gravel, smile, and figure out how to present it differently to try and reduce the confusion next time. Because its no use trying to tell the consumer that they're wrong.

I normally don't go for this "tough love" thing in everyday life at all, but in a context like this it does make sense at least.
