It won 6 Oscars, deservedly, though all technical, but should have won Best Picture, which went to CODA. CODA had a budget of $10M and a box office take of $1.9M, while Dune had a budget of $165M and a box office take of $402M, if that tells you anything. Chalamet should have won Best Actor, he did quite well, but he is too young. He'll get one later when he's older, undoubtedly. Best Actor went to Will Smith for King Richard, and Smith is certainly talented, but Chalemet is in a class by himself. Smith probably should have forfeit his Oscar for his violent outburst at the ceremonies.

The acting in Dune is simply excellent. Everyone brought their A-game. The cinematography, special effects and soundtrack are all excellent. The screenplay is surprisingly very similar to the 1984 film.
Does the force of the scale (presumably on the ground) accelerating up towards you with the rest of the spaceship not count?
Not really - the sub 6GHz frequencies are often different and in many countries are significantly wider than the LTE ones. Eg 3UK has 120MHz of spectrum in the 3.6GHz-4GHz band. I think the absolute max LTE configuration in the UK was EE with 90MHz (but on 5CA, Bands 1+3+3+7+7). There is a lot more new spectrum on 5G.

It is a major improvement for sure - not just totally marketing nonsense, but it's not the world changing impact that the carriers pushed.
This is one of those things that laymen often misunderstand, actually. (I don’t blame you, it’s often not well explained.) General relativity is easy to make into a QFT. There’s an action and you can easily derive amplitudes from it. And it works well, as long as you don’t ask questions of what happens at arbitrarily high energies. That’s what “nonrenormalizable” actually means: it only answers questions up to some energy scale, after which it stops being predictive. But believe it or not, physics has been here before, so we’re not totally clueless what to do! Fermi’s theory of beta decay [0] had the exact same problem. And the moral there was that there was something new that had been missed in Fermi’s theory that was only important at high enough energy. The theory was correctly predicting its own limitations. In fact we figured out what was missing. Fermi didn’t know about the W boson, and at the energy where W boson exchange becomes important, that’s where the old theory breaks down!

But Fermi’s theory works well up to that scale. It’s like how Einstein’s relativity didn’t mean that everything in Newtonian physics was totally wrong, but just that you need it if you want to think about really fast moving objects. Newton’s theory is still an outstandingly good approximation.

So if history is any guide, we don’t need to change the low energy theory of GR (at least not much), that works just fine. We just have to find out what’s the high energy phenomenon that we’re missing. That’s stuff that comes into play with black holes and very high energy collisions. Anyway we have some guesses here, too. In string theory, that’s the stringyness of the strings, their 2D nature, that fixes the problems automatically. (This was not by design, it was completely unexpected! You start playing with dimensions and it just falls out.) In LQG it’s about the fuzziness or discretization of space (which sounds appealing, although it’s really tough in practice to make this work).

Beef production uses massively more water, it’s just that, like the sugar on your cereal boxes, they split it up into smaller segments.

Alfalfa: Beef/Dairy

Pasture: Beef/dairy

Corn: Beef/dairy

Grain: Beef/dairy

Alfalfa alone uses more water than almonds… it’s just called alfalfa instead of beef.

I can agree with that, I don't like overly abstract stuff either. That said in my projects I'm in control of the code and so I tend to avoid traits where they're not really necessary, I find Rust very pleasant to use that way and the compiler messages are simply outstanding. Often lifetime annotations can be replaced with heap allocations, which isn't always that efficient but it's a damn fast language and often you're not even going to measure a difference.

> Even command line parsing is made to be a vastly complex endeavour.

Yes, I even wrote a library for that once but then realized it only complicates everything and adds limitations. Nowadays I just do that by hand. For one it's guaranteed to be shorter than any parsing library, but also it's a good opportunity to think about what kind of arguments I need and in which form. And copy-pasting the parser from the previous project and adapting it is quick & easy.
In my experience it is better to default to the lowest complexity algorithm. Even if linear search is faster for small N your app probably performs acceptably for small N either way. At some point being fast enough to be interactive is good enough and there isn't much point making your interactions take 2ms rather than 10ms.

However n^2 algorithms will bite you. They may be outside of your everyday working set, and even dogfooding you may not have larger datasets than all of your users. At some point one user will hit a dimension that you "expected to always be small" and get bad performance.

If one of these O(1)N algorithms ends up in the hot path you can always optimize it when profiling points it out. But O(N)N algorithms will leap off the cold path and become hot when some user starts using the "wrong" data patterns and the developers may never be aware, or at least not aware until it is too late.
This is an extremely sensible take in a lake of “you’re just a bad programmer” comments.
Dropbox lost me years ago when they removed the 15GB or whatever limit I had with bonus space. I got the message about what they wanted and uninstalled when they started hounding me through app notifications to pay for extra space because I only had "__ MB" of space remaining.

Oh well, between Amazon syncing my photos as part of Prime and GDrive I have plenty of cloud storage for my needs.
I feel there is an untold implication here that people somehow assume that the _other_ 90% would die of starvation. Surely not them!
It varies, but one big thing I do goes as follows:

1. Read the book, taking notes on a wiki page dedicated to that specific book (I self-host a Mediawiki install for stuff like this). In this first pass, I tend to take really detailed notes, at times practically transcribing large portions of the text.

2. Re-read these notes a couple of times. Add hyperlinks to related material, read related material, etc. I may also edit the notes to reflect better understanding, or just to fix typos and suchlike.

3. Start a new page called "<Book Name> Synthesis". In here I rewrite my notes, but very specifically not direct transcription. I write what I think about the topic, based on my reading(s) above.

4. Re-read the notes from (3) above every now and then. Possibly editing for clarification or whatever as I go.

5. At some point I may do a synthesis page that synthesizes my thoughts from multiple related books on a similar theme or topic.

So yeah, that's a lot of work and it doesn't scale to being done for every book I read, not even close. But it's what I do when I really want to focus in on something specific and really do an intensive deep-dive.

The other thing I will sometimes do is make an Anki deck from the book I'm reading, and then review those periodically.

Outside of that: if it's a programming book, I usually code up the examples / exercises, and then depending on what it is I may extend myself to push and do things beyond the provided examples / exercises (like a book on a new programming language I'm just learning, for example). For a book on something related to electronics, I may well assemble and test circuits on a breadboard, take measurements with the oscilloscope / spectrum analyzer / etc... And so on. What tangible artifacts come out of reading a book really depends on the book. I might even be reading a book on "Foraging for Wild Edible Plants" and the tangible outcome might be tonight's dinner. shrug

I'm in Europe, and every country has different takes of the same historical events. Sometimes not much, but sometimes wildly and drastically. Incompatibly. It's insane to see the dissonance. Americans don't get to see this as much, because the states synchronize more or less, despite the right/left cultural divide.

History is mostly BS. Fairy tales very broadly and crudely constrained by some dates and events. We don't know a thing. And that's one reason we can't learn. The past is recast for propaganda purposes to control the present and the future. Nothing more.
Really appreciated Villeneuve adding small scenes to the movie like the gardener watering the date palms and the ecology outpost. It rewards people who read the book and also helps people who are just watching the movie with understanding the world.

Curious to see what other tid-bits from the book they will keep in part 2. Hopefully we can see some Fremen Sietches.

On another note, I've always wanted to write a load tester library, I would call it Gom Jabbar. If the service falls over it fails the test.
Why is nobody putting E-Ink displays in cars? I don't particularly mind the touchscreen aspect, but the screens are way too bright for driving.
I listen to a lot of non-fiction audiobooks. Over time, I've realized it's pretty much pointless to try to "lock-in" knowledge. There's simply too much information and generally a lot of noise, relative to the real-world problems I'm solving.

I now read books with a few intentions:

* Don't read for facts. Read for patterns and mindsets.

* Spend enough time in the book to absorb a mindset from it. I don't need all 8.5 hours of Eric Ries's "The Lean Startup", but spending 8.5 hours in the book helps me stew on topics.

* Focus on outcomes and problems/solutions. It's far more valuable to know how and where to find 100 solutions than it is to memorize 10 solutions.

For something deeply technical, like Designing Data Intensive Applications, I'm not reading it to understand the specifics of the solution. I'm reading it to understand the broad strokes of problems varies solutions solve. If I need the details, I'll come re-read a few relevant sections for the specific problem I'm solving.

For less technical books, like business books, it's really about taking one or two topics away that resonate deeply with me. I don't necessarily need to remember why they resonate deeply with me. I just need to be able to remember the principles when I'm in a relevant situations.
In the UK at least, most backhaul is fibre, and probably 10gigE already given LTE can push way more than 1gig with multiple sectors. But yes, some more remote sites may need upgraded.

I was on 3G until a couple of years ago, currently on 4G. Limited to 14 megabit per second (but no datacap). 3G to 4G was a big step. But I don't have a need for 5G. I guess more people are in that position.
Rich Hickey started Datatomic (along with Stuart Halloway & Justin Gehtland). He also created the Clojure programming language and has been on Hacker News numerous times with many popular talks. In fact they all have made famous contributions.

Many businesses use Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle and don't need access to the source. I'm not saying open source isn't nice, but it is absolutely not a requirement for IT infrastructure.

I'd imagine people rely on many cloud services that are in fact, not open source.

I say that I learn best by reading (which is true), but an essential component of that is that I find ways to actually use what I'm learning -- because I really learn best by doing.

If the book is about making data-intensive applications, for instance, I'll write such an application as I work through the book, using the concepts that I'm reading about.

I'll also not worry about memorizing every bit of knowledge in the book and instead strive to remember what information is in the book so that when I need to know something specific, I know where to look.

I've found note-taking to be worthless to me, but I know that many people find it valuable.
If you break it down, ASML is dependent on a US based company called CYMER(owned by ASML) without cymer EUV light source exports ASML is fucked will have a hard time creating EUV machine.

The US also makes a lot of the chemicals and EDA software packages. The US pretty much controls and owns advance chips. What they needed from taiwan was just a highly skilled sweat shop workers. Just look at the difference between the workload between TSMC workers in the US and on Taiwan.

That is why US sanctions are so effective they are like an octopus and have their tentacles all over the place controlling key nodes which can disrupt or destroy complete supply lines.

Lol no, the government doesn't care or set any restrictions on the profit split Apple/Google sets for people selling products in their store. Monolopy and anti-trust concerns buying companies and marketshare, not being a better product and consumers willingly switching to your product. It would actually be the death of capitalism for the government to go to Apple/Google and say, "woah woah woah hold on, this is _too popular_ we need to put the brakes on your profits". That kind of stuff only happened in centrally planned economies like the USSR.

> A fair question I have, I think, is are these new Dune movies any good?

This particular iteration is trying to be far smarter than necessary or useful. If you watch the some Youtube breakdowns (not sure why you would - eg Why Dune's Editing Feels Different), you'll see that there are attempts to artfully inform the audience about things from the book through indirect means. Does it work? No. As a movie, it's pretty at times, but middling as an adaptation.
Yup, at a certain point you hit a wall.

See I go back and forth about this. I feel the same optimism in some ways about Microsoft getting their hand on the wheel...but they've also let a lot of great IP's languish that they already hold. Rare is a shell of its former self and is basically only around because of Sea of Thieves which really took a while to get the ball rolling, Lionhead hasn't released a game in over a decade, Halo is on life support, Gears is doing ok, Forza is doing good-ish I guess. Lots of examples to choose from, sadly.

> and being illegal isn't the same thing as being a crime

I think in a very strict interpretation of what "lawful" and "criminal" means, this is likely true. There are civil infractions and there are "criminal offences." But most people, colloquially, equivocate "illegal" with "crime." And if the police engage in unlawful (illegal) activity, they can face penalty. So I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say. Someone would, of course, need to file a complaint in a court of law, but that doesn't mean that they were "permitted" to do it and can't face penalty as a result of ignoring their lawfully mandated restrictions.

Also recognize, and disclaimer IANAL, that it does not require the Supreme Court to rule on a constitutional violation. The Supreme Court, as I'm sure most of us know, do not have the capacity to take all cases that are presented to them. First a chain of appellate courts must rule after which the Supreme Court becomes the last available avenue, and they typically only accept the "interesting" constitutional challenges... where "was this a constitutional violation or not?" has been deemed ambiguous.

But "lower courts" can, and do often, rule on whether something was a constitutional violation.

So I guess the point is, the police cannot engage in constitutional violations with impunity, but of course in order for them to face penalty a complaint would have to filed and it would need to be taken to trial and the police found guilty.
I agree fully with the statement that art of the past is a portrait of what the world was then, and should therefore rest untouched to give us context in the current era.

To give a better idea of this issue than simple "publications that aren't that old and are edited to keep them marketable", I'll propose a thought experiment:

Imagine we'd have kept editing Hitler's "Mein Kampf" to adapt, censor and euphemise it's heinous ideology to keep it publishable over the decades. There would obviously hardly be anything left of it's original content.

And mind, I am not at all constructing this example to suggest anything in that book would've been worth preserving for it's intrinsic value, I'm rather trying to point out the very opposite:

If current editions of this hateful crap & all it's adjacent publications and propaganda would still be printed and sold, but in a form so radically changed that they conform to the current Zeitgeist and moral values, there would soon be no way left to educate coming generations about how the third Reich and Nazism came about, and what ideologies we should guard against and prevent in the future.

Obviously, this thought experiment bears much more radical and ludicrous consequences than a gun in a kids movie or some casually racist or sexist lines in a 90s movie - but ultimately, what we do by "greenwashing" recent works of art has a very similar effect: we rob future generations of the possibility to comprehend our cultural and ideologic development, and to learn and understand how it came to be. We censor historical context to maximize current profits.
