If you mean "I saw a keyboard someone else had, I'd like one too", then you're probably going to get good results if you send a message like "wow, this is really cool, how do I go about making one of these".

Generally, the shops I've seen are all quite happy to sell parts, & provide assembly guides. I think those are good starting points for learning about the things you don't know.
When my Mojang account was forcibly transferred over to a Microsoft account, I suddenly no longer owned Minecraft.

And since I no longer had access to the email account I had used for the original purchase nine years prior, Microsoft support outright refused to even talk to me, unless I prove ownership beyond all doubt.

That I owned the email address currently linked to the account, and had played the game just a week before, and that I knew the security questions/answers wasn't proof enough for them. And yes I really KNEW all the security answers - as those were stored in my keepass.

They treated me like a criminal, and I never learned whether the game disappeared by accident, or if they removed it intentionally because some algorithm thought I got it illegitimately...

As far as I personally am concerned, they already did ruin Minecraft.
I’m curious if you like tower defense games (like plants vs. zombies). Those are pretty much the only games I have been able to interest myself into!
I'd read this short story, where a strange asphalt-covered parking lot planet is discovered and subsequently herbaformed[0] by an eco-hippie expedition ship (probably named 'A weed is but an unloved flower' in Iain M Banks fashion[1])

Oh, so I can decompile Minecraft, make a bunch of my own changes, change the name (to avoid trademark issues) and then sell the result? Can you point me in the direction of a license or other legal document which grants me these rights?

That's what it means for something to be open source as opposed to source-available after all.
New Bill to Increase Human Control of Nuclear Weapons by Outlawing Nuclear AI
On a smaller scale, when I lived there a few years ago there was a man in Southampton (UK) who had a large catamaran in his garden. It took up the entire garden and was easily visible from the road as they had a corner plot.

According to local hearsay he had rebuilt and restored it (perhaps even designed and built it from scratch) in place, but having done so it could never be moved due to power lines and other obstructions. There was a dispute of some sort with the local authorities on the grounds it was an eyesore or some such, but as it actually couldn't be moved without being destroyed...

Sometimes when I drove past I would see him out polishing the handrails and other metal adornments.

(Doing some searching, it appears to have fallen into disrepair in the last few years of the owner's life, and may have finally been demolished after he passed last year. It's possible it had been there since he started building it in the mid 1960s! "Bitterne Park Catamaran" for the mildly interested... if you see the aerial shots, the boat has a bigger footprint than the house.)
Where all this energy from a dyson sphere is supposed to go? Most of the energy we produce finally ends up heating the atmosphere. This doesn't seem to be the case for a supercivilization. The energy may be turned into matter but from efficiency standpoint it is simpler to convert existing matter to whatever you want.
I mean, what the "banning" means? If the internet operators are not ordered to stop these networks from operating, it's not much of a ban.

If internet operators have no means to stop these protocols, then the ban is unlikely to have any real effect beside some inconvenience.
Yes, battery capacity is the main thing when you compare early EVs. I think the amont of energy the battery can generate and how fast the car can drive a long distance does fit the performance definition, but I agree it’s not the classic definition of comparing the speed on a tiny segment.

On short distances, the 22kWh version is actually a bit faster because the battery is slightly lighter.

Interesting idea.

It had exploded in popularity way before him, due to the other reasons mentioned; streamers, Queen's Gambit, etc. but the article is focused on a purported post January spike in schools - and considering the baleful influence he's claimed to have in them, it would also therefore seem necessary to factor him in to any analysis here.
Grokking series is from Manning and do they sell PDF and ePub/mobi directly
Well said.

The movie is powerful enough and the subject relevant enough to still resonate with the younger generation. I do wonder, however, if the older the movie gets, the more distant the imagery from the seventies might intuitively appear to a young viewer. This led me to think about how the movie would look if (re)made today. I keep getting ideas for recent footage / subjects which would work in place of the original shots, whatever the merit of such an undertaking might be.

Yeah seems like a trivial issue to fix - first 10 games are for evaluation, heck they can be had even against computer. Very few people are so pathetic/psychopathic to invest so much time into getting a rank and then cheating on real opponents and tank their account quickly. And for those few, just don't care about them, its just a game after all.

I'm doubtful this is truly eco friendly. The quantities produced are so small that the energy costs of the sprayer system and catalyst become very high. Global production of ammonia is around 4 tonnes per second whereas this process produces 0.005g/m2 per second so you would need 800 square kms of catalyst to meet global demand (around the same area as Singapore).
Well you work with the data and evidence you have and make conclusions based on it. You could start hypothesizing about "higher" intelligence and infinite dimensions all you want but if you have no way to measure or detect those things it's not worth much and well.. your approaching SciFi territory at that point. Starting with simpler methods is not really a choice since there are no other options.

> lack of understanding

"Simplistic" understanding based on primitive evidence is still better than seeing "infinite dimensions" without any data to back it up. It's not obvious that any higher beings (compared to humans) even exist, they might they might not. So maybe we should focus on detecting any signs of any kind of intelligence or life in the first place (after even a bug should be able to tell a human apart from a rock when it bumps into one?).
This is what we get when we make decisions based on panicked masses and noise they generate in the news. That banning plastic straws made zero sense, and was actually counterproductive to humanity's survival in general (distracting from and confusing people about climate change), was obvious to anyone who paused to do some basic math. But people who kept panicking each other about it didn't, and people making the decisions seemingly didn't either (or they did, and went through with it anyway, just to shut the "environmentalists" up).

I fear the same will be the case here - I mean, the very term, "forever chemicals", is already a clear giveaway that the topic is discussed and reasoned about in nonsensical categories. Occasional scientific paper that tries to navigate around this term won't help when the overall discussion is consumed by magical thinking.

Proposed US Law Bans AI from Launching Nuclear Weapons

Open XML Paper Specification
Isn't the argument always that it's okay to have an undemocratically appointed head of state because they have no power so the blatant undemocratic-ness is fine? Yet at the same time put forward the argument that they act as a check on the legislature and therefore wield actual power which would directly contradict why it's okay for them to be appointed the way they are?

I think a split premier/president system where they are democratically elected makes enough sense but having a hereditary monarch is bananas.
This means the feds did decide to make an exception to the rule that bans banks that have more than 10% of nationwide deposits from acquiring another bank.

I kind of feel if you think this then you've approached chess all wrong.

Your moves are all about controlling your opponents influence and responses while developing your pieces before situating for a breakthrough or attack.

Interesting games only really happen with decently skilled opponents who know the theory as well as you. The game often only starts getting interesting after move 16+.

Dubious moves and openings are a surefire way to lose.

"To help guide them to better behaviour, we should use a process called sortition -- random selection of citizens for leadership, a bit like jury duty for politics -- to create better oversight."

This idea has emerged occasionally ever since the Ancient Athens. There are plenty of issues involved. I won't go into the details, but I think citizen assemblies and the like offer a more viable solution (even though also these can be criticized on the same grounds as sortition).

And in general, I am not as cynical as the author; I think there are still plenty of politicians (both from left and right and everywhere in-between) who maintain their integrity and seek to serve their constituencies the best they can.
As somene who prefers playing Go a lot more than chess, this is true. Games are far too long for most people, I do enjoy having a Go game in the background while I work but patiently sitting for 16 hours for a game to finish is not a great sell even if I love the game.

Haskell style pure functions are a natural fit for shaders that are side effect free by design. Wonder how far you can go with abstractions like applicative functors for generic vector math etc. Could be quite powerful and when properly inlined without any perf hit.

I think we are now conditioned to think that higher numbers are 'better' or 'continuations' of lower numbers. For example, "Back to the Future: 3" movie is a continuation of the story of the movie "Back to the Future: 2". Similarly, Windows version 3 is the new and improved version of Windows Version 2.

It seems that marketing executives have forgotten that part of their jobs is to ensure that they communicate product qualities accurately to consumers.

Google is one of the worst offenders in this, with their madness over naming. Is Nexus 5X an earlier version of Nexus 6? No? It denotes the size of the screen? What exactly is a Pixel? Phone? Tablet? Notebook? What does Chromecast have to do with Chrome?

I always though Intel is a close second. There can be better names for Intel processor lines:

i3: Mobile

i5: Balanced

i7: Professional

i9: Creative/Graphics

There may be better approximations of course. But ideally if a product is targetted at a segment, it should be made clear in the brand name. Generations can be mentioned as suffix: p13 would be 13th generation of Professional, m5 would be 5th generation of mobile.

Apple does a good job of this with their Mac lines:

Air: Ultraportable

Pro: Creatives/Professional users

M1, M2 etc: higher is always better.

People don't want to feel ripped off, so I am sure that the clear communication from the Apple marketing team provides a significant tailwind to their sales team.
I'd say Veloren is closer to Cube World, while Minetest is closer to Minecraft. Both are cool projects, though.
Does the lifestraw also remove essential minerals from the water?

I mean that's the primary reason we got a water filter ourselves, filter out some minerals so our cats get less urinary stones.

But we've switched to stainless and/or 'plain' steel ourselves as well, we still have some non-stick pans for e.g. frying eggs but we try to avoid them. Even before PFAS, I never liked the teflon pans because they wear and sometimes flake off after a while.

True. It’s nice visuals to listen to Philip Glass’ music.
Haven’t people been messaging other people over sound for tens of thousands of years?
Certainly a ban like that, if it can be made at least somewhat effective, will prevent a lot of uses of encrypted messaging by less sophisticated users. I'm afraid it's not going to be effective against the stated targets, the well-prepared terrorists sponsored by a neighboring state. Those will be trained to sideload, or whatever else it takes.
Is it me or is sun in Spain extra intense?

I was in Seville a few years ago and even though it was only low 90s, I thought my hair was on fire, and felt my skin burn.
I've never even heard of any of those.
I fully agree with your general critique. It is a common bad habit in science to use common words with an uncommon meaning without any explanation. I remember me sitting in a lecture about cryptology and wondering how that "I can prove to know a SECRET without revealing it" is supposed to work. I just did not realize that SECRET just meant "random-looking string" instead of something like "I know where the money is hidden".
I'd disagree. If you play a line like the Englund Gambit, you are going to get trounced.

A lot of times, Memorization isn't even needed. People develop mental shortcuts for calculation in positional, endgame, and middle game sections.

Things like forcing doubled pawns on the C/F files (depending on your color), calculating whether you can promote before the king can catch up (that triangle strategy). Lucena and a few others.

With a solid opening repertoire that's chosen to force certain openings/sublines you can limit the study needed significantly (and shoot to the moon rating wise).
Who caused that is still an open question that no-one really has the answer to, so I'm not sure why you're so confident. One of the things that makes me trust O'Brien over others is that he generally admits when he's been wrong and openly reviews his past views in light of new evidence.
The Haber process is already operating close to maximum possible efficiency, so there are no big gains to be had.
Stack allocation is much faster than heap allocation, and compared to fixed-size arrays VLAs save stack space. For example, a recursive divide-by-conquer algorithm that allocates arrays on the stack may use log(n) stack space compared to n². Using VLAs instead of the heap simplifies the logic because you get automatic deallocation with proper scoping. VLAs and VM were introduced as one feature, so I am not sure there was ever a the question of adding only one of them.

In terms of security, there are some issues but it is largely overblown and misunderstood. A dynamic buffer is always a sensitive piece of code when dealing with data from the network. VLA were the language tool of choice and then got a bad reputation because they were involved in many CVEs. But correlation is not causation. The main real issue is that - if the attacker can control the size of the VLA -, it is possible to overflow the stack into the heap. This can be avoided by using stack clash protection which compilers support only since a couple of years. With stack protection I believe VLAs can be safer than fixed size arrays due to improved bounds checking.
I live in a relatively cold area, and it's already near unbearable. It will usually get this hot in August or so.
It's nice as a vague intro but leaves more questions than it answers. Are there any actual insights into accessing and (ab)using this underlying RISC-like architecture, IME, or other mysterious stuff, somewhere?
I started this comment thread, so I'm quite confident I know what it's about.

It's specifically about the fact that the article makes no mention of a simple, important aspect of the underlying reality it's modelling. It'd take only a sentence or two to clarify and provide a stronger foundation for those learning.

As evidenced by responses here, it's obvious this is needed. We all should be keenly aware that models only approximate reality, they always get it wrong and the matter is the magnitude of this error. That's important.

A student starting out with the idea that the path of one body in a coupled rotation around another is a perfect ellipse or halves of a cone is a wildly idealised version of an underlying reality that's practically different.

Emphasising the reality, that there is a natural, built-in, constant pull or push toward entropy and dissolution of the shape of an "orbit" should be essential. It's that part the student will most likely spend their career fighting against.
Do you believe this one too?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_People's_R...

Not to claim it's the same situation, but there's a difference between things that are officially true and things you should actually respect. You shouldn't respect most of the US judicial system either.
I mean that's the obvious answer, but there's a culture (mainly in the US but elsewhere too) that drinks should be taken on the go / while driving instead of just sitting down. I mean straws are a side-effect of an established practice of take-out meals & drinks and avoiding doing (or paying for someone to do) dishes.

Make coffee at home. Sit down for a meal. Make food at home. Make time to do these things. Which is easier said than done, granted - they're big cultural and political shifts that require things like affordable housing and living wages.

Getting rid of straws is easier than giving people a living wage.
