GET allows, but does not require, server implementations to read/parse a body

sending a body with a GET request does not suggest the recipient server will receive that body, in general
Short version:

Telnet better supports interactive terminal applications by exchanging info like the TERM environment setting, screen size, translation codes, etc.

Netcat doesn’t do any of that, but is simpler and better suited for sending or receiving binary data. It also has features that telnet doesn’t, like listening for incoming TCP connections and sending and receiving on UDP ports.

Minor nit: ChatGPT has no agenda beyond a statistical sampling over its training set. The developers at OpenAI, on the other hand, do.
My screen readers reads that site in a verry strange way. It says that there is soft hyfens in a lot of the words so it reads the words like repro­duce as"repro duce"

Once the initial code is had, you can just store the almanac and reuse it most of the time with reasonable accuracy to make the computation faster.

Usually that approach cuts the sync time by factor of ten, even if the real ephemeris diverges from the general almanac.
I'm looking for a junior role or an internship.

Who am I?

- I've been tinkering with some form of technology from an early age. My earliest memories include:
-- making custom Neopets pages for myself and friends
-- turning my Sony Vaio into a Hackintosh - it worked fairly well except for the WiFi module which was solved by attaching a USB WiFi adapter.

- I have prototyped gadgets with Arduinos and even built a 2-lead ECG as University project.
- My capstone project was an attempt to sort a given audio clip into one of four categories; I was responsible for building the classifier in MATLAB. This project peaked my interest in Machine Learning.

- I have since worked as an Analyst in one of the top cancer institutes in the world (Princess Margaret), a Sales Engineer at a medical hardware startup.
- In the last 1.5 years, I've worked as a software engineer (amongst other hats) at a healthcare startup that was focused on automating clinical workflows; of note: we attempted to generate clinical notes from patient-physician conversations. I was heavily involved in all aspects of the project from implementing the voice functionality to prototyping with large language models and conducting interviews with end-users etc.

- Currently, in my free time, I'm following the fast.ai lectures with the goal of creating a 'smart compose' for clinical notes - an idea that's stuck with me from my discussions with our end users.

It's not only possible, it has been actually carried out in dozens of facilities across the world: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reprocessing

As nuclear has been neglected in recent decades it's cheaper to mine uranium than reprocess, but it's by no means an experimental or prototype technology.

Climate change will probably spur growth in intermittent sources in the short term, since politicians are usually optimizing for the next election cycle, but eventually peak production times will become saturated and the infeasibility of energy storage in regions within the hydroelectric power will become clear. Effectively all countries that have decarbonized their electricity sector have done so through a mix of hydroelectric power and nuclear power.
I think I've said yes in that comment once or twice. I don't know how well you think you are performing as you're trying to force this lame literary device you've invented, but I don't think insulting me is going to get you very far.
A big aspect of the problem is what you might call celebrity worship. People think that because someone is accomplished in an area, we should care what they have to say in another. And AI as in stats and linear algebra has nothing to do with any of the stuff about societal implications or philosophy. So you get a mixed bag of views that basically parallel what laypeople might think, because you're not talking to these people about stuff they're experts in.

1000 years ago an expert in materials and chemicals (say) could build a mirror but still might belive it's a window into the soul or something. The supernatural and practical parts have nothing to do with each other and don't require overlapping expertise.
The third and fourth requests even de-Googled (Qualcomm) phones make is to download the GPS almanac. You don't have to wait because it downloads over wifi or cellular, which have gotten pretty quick. There was a recent kerfuffle about this [0].

> Title: Prestige drives epistemic inequality in the diffusion of scientific ideas

> Abstract: The spread of ideas in the scientific community is often viewed as a competition, in which good ideas spread further because of greater intrinsic fitness, and publication venue and citation counts correlate with importance and impact. However, relatively little is known about how structural factors influence the spread of ideas, and specifically how where an idea originates might influence how it spreads. Here, we investigate the role of faculty hiring networks, which embody the set of researcher transitions from doctoral to faculty institutions, in shaping the spread of ideas in computer science, and the importance of where in the network an idea originates. We consider comprehensive data on the hiring events of 5032 faculty at all 205 Ph.D.-granting departments of computer science in the U.S. and Canada, and on the timing and titles of 200,476 associated publications. Analyzing five popular research topics, we show empirically that faculty hiring can and does facilitate the spread of ideas in science. Having established such a mechanism, we then analyze its potential consequences using epidemic models to simulate the generic spread of research ideas and quantify the impact of where an idea originates on its longterm diffusion across the network. We find that research from prestigious institutions spreads more quickly and completely than work of similar quality originating from less prestigious institutions. Our analyses establish the theoretical trade-offs between university prestige and the quality of ideas necessary for efficient circulation. Our results establish faculty hiring as an underlying mechanism that drives the persistent epistemic advantage observed for elite institutions, and provide a theoretical lower bound for the impact of structural inequality in shaping the spread of ideas in science.
This is a constantly changing area of history, so we're on shaky ground. The diaries of the chamberlain to Hirohito were only published a couple years ago, for example. They implicate the emperor deeply in war-time decisions in a way that contradicts the post-war narrative of a hapless well-meaning buffoon misled by his underlings.

I suspect the real reason is close to the usually accepted story, though. Millions of Japanese thought the emperor was a living god. That's how many Americans viewed it then. It's a useful interpretive lens even now.

If the Emperor concedes and surrenders, all of his legitimacy transfers to whoever the Emperor says to listen to. MacArthur got the unofficial title gaijin shogun -- foreign Shogun, the shogun being the military dictator who ruled pre-Meiji Japan, in the name of the Emperor.

Dépose or kill the emperor and all bets are off. What would be institutionally legitimate in its place? How long to construct it? When you have an entire administration in place, it'd be awfully tempting to whitewash the imperial institution. Which is exactly what MacArthur did. Speaking of which, the personality of Douglas MacArthur dominates this whole topic. He had carte blanche. Complete unlimited authority. And he exercised it, often in ways not anticipated in Washington. He was an eccentric man and quite opaque as to his decision-making.

You can find plenty of information out there on various standard image and signal processing algorithms. Basic stuff like 2D convolutions form the backbone of many image processing techniques, and they’re well documented.

But just like Reed-Solomon encoding is a very specific algorithm, with many different applications, of which QR codes is one. What you’re looking for is similar, it’s a huge set of very specific algorithms with huge set of applications, of which one is QR codes.

QR codes are simply too niche for anyone to have put together a pubic document on what exact image processing techniques you might use to decode them. If you want to teach people about 2D signal processing, then QR codes are probably not a good starting point.

I would also argue that Reed-Solomon encoding is not “deep” anything. It’s one of many different 1D signal error correction algorithms that exist. For people who work on signal processing as day job, Reed-Solomon is about as “deep” as quick-sort is to programmers.

As for why quick-sort is well documented with many open implementations, and QR codes aren’t. I would argue it’s simple due to the industry they developed in. QR codes started in manufacturing, being used for inventory management, almost certainly by embedded and electronic engineers. All of those industries pre-date the open source movement by decades, trade secrets are still important for them, so they’re not naturally inclined to share IP.
You asked why it isn't against the law, and the law about these things is libertarian.

The law says that since the fee was clearly communicated to you and you had a choice to use the service or not, there's nothing wrong with that.
PayPal makes it absolutely simple for anyone to generate an invoice. I sent a package to my friend out of state, and I invoiced him for the shipping charges just as a lark, and he duly paid his bill. We'd pre-arranged it all, so everything was legitimate, but all I needed was his email address.

>"Yeah I am really unperturbed" doesn't make sense in context of it's parent

It's not just unpertrubed, it's also "not impressed".

In the context of the comment it basically means "I see this speaker announcement as nothing special, what's the big deal?".
If you're in the bay area, the Bay Model in Sausalito is a surprisingly interesting visit. It's a giant scale model of the entire bay area (accurate in two dimensions, compressed in height) with water pumped in and out repeatedly to simulate the tidal cycle and river flow. It was originally used to demonstrate that the Reber plan was flawed (computational modelling at the time was just not feasible), but if you look closely near SFO you can also see attachment lugs that look like they were used to examine the impact of runway extensions into the bay. It's probably not worth the trip into Sausalito on its own, but there's a bunch of background material on display that contextualises it well, and you can easily kill a couple of hours there.

Biological weapons are not used by the US due to practicality, not morality.

1. It's difficult to manufacture biological agents in large quantities.

2. It's hard to store biological agents for long periods of time, since living things tend to die.

3. It's hard to disperse biological agents over a large area. Spray tanks require flying at low altitude at slow speeds, or multiple deployments at high speeds. Munitions with bursters are problematic because the explosive burster tends to destroy much of the biological agent that you're trying to spread.

4. It's easy to protect troops in the field from biological agents and all major countries maintain and exercise the capability to do so.

5. Biological agents are slow acting and unreliable in their effect.

Long after the Korean War, the Soviet microtoxin program overcame many of these problems. The Americans took a different approach and focused on improving nerve agents, with the most recent development (that I know of) being a multi-part agent called GB-2.
The big clouds - AWS, GCP and Azure - all have utterly ridiculous egress fees compared to every non-"cloud" hosting service and compared to what ISPs charge for these kinds of connections. For example, AWS charges $90/TB while a typical price is more like $1/TB.

It's almost certainly done on purpose to discourage you from switching away, and in the hopes that you won't notice until you deleted all other copies of your data.
I'm pretty sure it is type instability. The faster way to do this would be with something like https://github.com/YingboMa/Unityper.jl which would fix that. The problem with profiling unstable code in Julia is that it makes everything slow so the profiler will just show a big mess of everything being slow. We do need better resources, but I have no idea what they would like like.
I'm with you! I incorporate functional concepts when coding in Rust, Python, JS etc, but have been unable to grasp Haskell.
Its also ignoring the other side of advancement in distros of doing packaging correctly: Gobo, Nix and Guix (TinyCore?

Will all this isolation lead to software that can’t work together? Its already bad enough, don’t think its gotten better since Rexx.

In non-US major economies, aren't they?
It was a very calculated decision - it made the others rely on US tech dominance, with the moment someone gets too uppity the P(Y) and M code encryption, and Selective Availability noisy mess on normal code gets turned on and only USA plus some advanced multiband tracking receivers get accurate location...

For good 30 years the strategy generally worked so much that satnav got synonymous with GPS.

Big players launched their own constellations anyway. GLONASS, Beidou and fledgling but accurate Galileo. And there are still more systems.
So if GPS wasn't free manufacturers would use something else.
You can check the author ( Trisha Greenhalgh ) other articles:

"But there is a more fundamental—i.e. philosophical rather than methodological or practical—objection to the emphasis on RCTs to the exclusion of other kinds of evidence, and that is the assumption, based on what might be called naive empiricism, that data can be identified, collected, analysed and summarized without the need for theory. Academics in many other scientific disciplines emphatically reject the assumption that controlled experiments should always and necessarily over-ride mechanistic evidence, defined as evidence produced by multiple different methods which help illuminate and explain phenomena at a theoretical level [40,41]."

"Adapt or die: how the pandemic made the shift from EBM to EBM+ more urgent "

https://ebm.bmj.com/content/27/5/253.full

"Evidence-based medicine (EBM’s) traditional methods, especially randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses, along with risk-of-bias tools and checklists, have contributed significantly to the science of COVID-19. But these methods and tools were designed primarily to answer simple, focused questions in a stable context where yesterday’s research can be mapped more or less unproblematically onto today’s clinical and policy questions. They have significant limitations when extended to complex questions about a novel pathogen causing chaos across multiple sectors in a fast-changing global context. Non-pharmaceutical interventions which combine material artefacts, human behaviour, organisational directives, occupational health and safety, and the built environment are a case in point: EBM’s experimental, intervention-focused, checklist-driven, effect-size-oriented and deductive approach has sometimes confused rather than informed debate. While RCTs are important, exclusion of other study designs and evidence sources has been particularly problematic in a context where rapid decision making is needed in order to save lives and protect health. It is time to bring in a wider range of evidence and a more pluralist approach to defining what counts as ‘high-quality’ evidence. We introduce some conceptual tools and quality frameworks from various fields involving what is known as mechanistic research, including complexity science, engineering and the social sciences. We propose that the tools and frameworks of mechanistic evidence, sometimes known as ‘EBM+’ when combined with traditional EBM, might be used to develop and evaluate the interdisciplinary evidence base needed to take us out of this protracted pandemic. Further articles in this series will apply pluralistic methods to specific research questions."

I generally like Google Docs and find it does a good job of implementing the feature set that most people actually need without a lot of the cruft you find in something like Microsoft Office. And I'm minimally organized enough I can usually find my own documents without much trouble.

I'll sort of agree with a couple of your points though.

Better version control would be appreciated. I had a problem just this past week because I was extensively rewriting someone else's doc and I felt I needed to work on a copy to straightforwardly preserve the original. And this ended up causing confusion.

Searching for the right "shared with me" document out of the hundreds that get shared on a regular basis--many of them routine meeting agendas and that sort of thing--is really hard and I regularly have to try to figure out who the owner is and other characteristics that will let me track it down.
>I think just having a list of boring looking text (like HN) draws some types of people and repels others.

It is true that HN draws some types of people and repels others, but I think it's because of the culture more than the UI. I mean, old Reddit looked almost exactly like HN and it's as mainstream as a site could be. Craigslist was even more minimalist than HN.

241 megawatt hours isn't very much...

A medium sized power station is say 300 megawatts.

So if you want to transport this power just a few tens of miles, you probably need a fleet of 10+ ships constantly charging and discharging.

I am very dubious that that works out cheaper than just laying a cable, even through deep water.
Does NiMH handle overcharging better than lithium ion? I can't really find cheap charge controller ICs for NiMH batteries.

Electric cars don't transport energy, they transport people.
Apple needs to prove why its mixed reality headset matters
> I guess if electric cars make sense then this also makes sense for transporting energy?

I don't see how that follows. The point of a electric car isn't to transport the electricity, it's to transport matter. There's no shortcut here: the only realistic way (short of Star Trek transporter beams) we can get the cargo from point A to point B is by physically moving it.

In contrast, we already have other ways to transport energy which work quite well. It's hard to see how this absurd concept could possibly be competitive with them.
For those who complain about the headline: if you listen to WSJ's recent podcast episode on Nvidia, parts of it are equality ridiculous and embarrassing.

You're both engaging in some kind of logical fallacy. The author lacks attention to detail but that doesn't mean their content isn't credible. (I'm not saying it is credible, I'm saying credibility is unrelated). I see a lot of this and find it very shallow and uninteresting. It's easy to find typos, it's hard to make substantive criticisms and so people go with what's easy.

Related, I've worked with people, scientists, that I've asked to provide useful feedback on the scientific aspects other's work, and who instead have come back with typos and grammar suggestions. This is worse than useless.
Yes, but it quickly becomes a power struggle of who gets the 1mil (assuming multiple exploits being viable)
