Yep radio waves degradation is due to the inverse square law. The strength of the signal is determined by the inverse of the distance squared. So the drop off is pretty extreme.

I don't see why that should be. Obviously you have a right to do whatever deals you like and not buy this product, but it seems to me that one reason Apple is investing so much in this is because they expect to recoup a huge reward over time, not just from device sales.

I guess you can always buy an android based headset that allows sideloading but presumably it won't have the same level of investment.

I think this may be sarcasm, but I also think it's literally true. Part of what I find interesting about the whole debacle is how many people really "told you so" well before the wheels started to come off (if that's indeed what's happening over the last year or so, will be easier to tell after the fact).
Seems like they are amazing at getting a good deal, which is not the same as being amazing at PR.

This is also why the amount of heart attacks are up around 24% after daylight savings[1]; an hour less sleep means higher blood pressure

There is no proof of this as to why. Only that it happens. For example:

* the hour of lost sleep does not happen on Monday, but on Sunday morning

* people could sleep in on Monday, then get hyper stressed that they are late

* type A personalities could get mad at an office of sluggish people

* people could get upset at everyone complaining about DST again, my blood pressure went up at your post!

Of the list given in the article, as a Dad and Granddad, I didn't find them as [Dad Jokes]. Mayhaps it is because I am an Australian Native.

This is a bit of a rant, but I bought a Quest Pro last year, and I feel it was a total waste of money. It's actually embarrassing how much of an unpolished piece of garbage it feels like. Sure, it's fun as a PCVR headset, but as a productivity tool or as a multimedia consuming device, or as a social tool, it completely misses the mark.

And I'd say that 80% of its failure can be attributed to bad software. It's buggy, I constantly have to re-calibrate my work/play area, the hand tracking is janky, and even though it supports (incredible) eye tracking, almost nothing takes actual advantage of the hardware.

It's insane that a billion-dollar company like Meta actually felt proud to release such a steaming pile of trash. Do they seriously expect VR enthusiasts to build an entire operating system for them? Much like the reports we're getting about the Vision Pro, the eye tracking in the Quest Pro feels like magic, but nothing uses it—basically it's irrelevant to navigating the operating system and barely any games use foveated rendering. It's infuriating.

If I was Zuck, I'd fire all my product managers. I say good for Apple. I'll probably be selling my Quest Pro and buying the Vision Pro.

I think the "tube" business concerns what you see a you approach the speed of light. All the light/future events are in front of you, and you see nothing if you stand on the stern of your ship.

I mean.... come on people, try harder.

One simple explanation is that Grusch's story is mostly true.

eg: There is a secret project, they have been doing reverse engineering, and they did keep it from congress for a very long time.

This is all the stuff that Grusch can probably prove himself without second hand reporting.
I remember fondly participating in the hype around crypto in 2017 and going in on btc/eth and also building a mining rig etc. The discourse on HN back then is quite different from today. These days we've seen scam after scam, fraud after fraud, failure after failure. From a technology perspective it's neat, but the kinds of individuals it tends to attract make it seemingly not actually all that useful in wider society. These days I'm ultra skeptical of anything crypto.
It's unclear what the distances involved are. It might just be a few years or months of travel time, say for a loitering Von Neumann probe from the Kuiper belt.

What makes sugar different from other carbohydrates?
There are a few of these "optimistic features", and presumably there will be more in today's languages as the state of the art moves on.

Another existing example in C: The idea of "wide" characters and strings, which was intended to be maybe the right shape for UCS-2, but it turns out UCS-2 wasn't the future, UCS-4 (approximately UTF-32) is way too bloated to be reasonable, and so we're all going to speak UTF-8 which ironically C was already at least somewhat suitable for.

An example from Java: The Java concurrent memory model. As shipped Java 1.0 assumed the way forward is you put locks on data structures, that way concurrent access "just works" correctly. It's amazing. It's also ludicrously expensive and you're paying for it even if you don't ever do concurrent access. Today our locks are much cheaper, but they aren't so cheap that you can afford to just lock all your data structures like it's no big deal. On a modern system taking and giving back the lock costs one atomic operation and maybe a fence - cheap but far from free. So modern Java data structures are mostly just unsafe to use concurrently because that's the trade everybody else took in other languages.

A cursed C++ example: In the 1980s, unless you were a hash table expert, the hash table you probably knew how to write was a separate chaining hash table, even by 1989 when ANSI C was standardised, experts might grudgingly admit this was a reasonable choice - there was promising alternatives, but hey separate chaining works and it has well understood behaviour. Somehow though, C++ ended up standardising this bad old data structure as std::unordered_map not in 1998 (when it'd have seemed rather outmoded) but in 2011 (by which point it was beginning to smell bad).

On the other hand it's also easy to make the mistake of assuming something is a variable when it's actually locked down by the time you're standardising. 'A' is 65. It was 65 in ASCII in the 1960s and it's still 65 in UTF-8 (as a result of grandfathering the entire ASCII 7-bit code) today. If you carefully wrote code so that 'A' needn't be 65 that was a waste of your time. Clearly in 1965 it was not safe to just assume 'A' is 65, it might change, and in 2023 it's crazy to make that adjustable, it won't change, but somewhere it shaded over and I'm sure some people got caught.
That's my layman's model.
There's no doubt it will lose value. The question is whether it will lose value faster than other currencies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novorossiysk would like to have a word with you.

"Novorossiysk is the biggest Russian seaport. In 2019 cargo turnover amounted to 142,5m tons[26] In 2021 cargo turnover amounted to 105,2m tons[27]

Novorossiysk is connected by rail and highways to the main industrial and population centres of Russia, Transcaucasia, and Central Asia. "
Because BTC aren't stocks in Binance? Even if binance and many other exchanges close, there'll always be at least a few exchanges to operate, it's not like you won't be able to sell your BTC.

Also some people that had USD balances in Binance might have bought BTC so as to withdraw their funds to their wallet.
There's lots to laugh at here but my favorite dumb part is talking about wages and wealth inequality:

> But the good news doesn’t stop there. We also get higher wages. This is because, at the level of the individual worker, the marketplace sets compensation as a function of the marginal productivity of the worker. A worker in a technology-infused business will be more productive than a worker in a traditional business. The employer will either pay that worker more money as he is now more productive, or another employer will, purely out of self interest. The result is that technology introduced into an industry generally not only increases the number of jobs in the industry but also raises wages.

and later

> As it happens, this was a central claim of Marxism, that the owners of the means of production – the bourgeoisie – would inevitably steal all societal wealth from the people who do the actual work – the proletariat. This is another fallacy that simply will not die no matter how often it’s disproved by reality. But let’s drive a stake through its heart anyway.

He's just lying! There's no evidence to support this at all in the modern US economy. The gains in wealth from automation over the last 50 years have almost _exclusively_ gone to the owners of the means of production. The median US household income went up less than 20% between 1983 and 2016 while the 95th percentile more than doubled.[0] This is just VC pump-and-dump nonsense pure and simple; it seems incredibly likely that any financial gains from AI making workers more productive will flow directly to the same people who have been reaping all of the gains from our increased productivity: Andreesen and his billionaire colleagues.

TS is a joke

tsc is the only compiler I've had to step through with a debugger multiple times.

No DS/ML researcher wants to deal with VM args just to use more than 1GB of memory. That alone would cause so much frustration.

Not to mention unpredictable generational GC.

Or the crazy crap people do with the type system (what you call better other people call a mess).

At least Python has some semblance of runtime type safety.

Jupiter directs more rocks towards earth than deflects. But life on earth appeared immediately after it cooled suggesting that the process to start life is relatively straight forward. And life by default adapts and evolves based on it's environment, so how crucial the moon is for life says more about how life on earth adapted than how it can possibly form.

The speed of the output of the compiler of the glue language almost does not matter. Whether it is Python or TypeScript, it will not matter. Typically people will not use pip directly in serious projects, except for quick and dirty package installs to prototype something. In any serious project I would expect people to use any of the package managers, that support creating a lock file. But then NPM for example is not better than poetry. Or at least I have not had a single case, where I thought: "Ah, if only it was behaving like NPM." Rather the opposite.

But anyway, the whole language specific package manager business is starting to annoy me. I would like to be able to simply use something like GNU Guix and sometimes I am able to do just that.

Since you have checkums available, you might as well do a periodic "scrub" and see if any of your data has been corrupted. Trim is useful for SSDs because it can make your drive's firmware more effective at wear leveling. Balance is pretty workload-specific and I don't have a heuristic for when it might make a difference. But being super unbalanced might cause performance issues.

A lot of companies depend on search indexing from google and other platforms. E-Commerce, blogs, and trivial information websites all need their traffic to come from somewhere.

If you were going to dynamically render the page anyways, why not do it in node with the best UI framework out there right now?

The burden isn't that much when you put a caching CDN in front of it.

Braiding is easier in a restricted topology. That’s why research on anyons uses restricted topologies which cross world lines rather than trying to construct 2-knots in a 3+1D spacetime.

As you approach a singularity, “around” becomes much shorter than “across”, effectively restricting the space you’re in. Around being shorter than across is why black holes form Einstein rings: the light is taking the shortest path!

So if paths cross while going around the singularity, they can’t untangle by moving across the singularity. Hence you have an easier time building topological modes, akin to the restricted topologies for anyons. (Or so my conjecture goes.)
> Because the whole point of the rule of law is that the law same law applies to any clown. If the head of securities law in the country can't tell you whether a basic thing is legal or not then why even bother having a congress and elections and any pretense that we live in something other than a corrupt oligarchy?

In the linked video the questioner is asking about about potential future cases/decisions and one reason not to comment on specific cases/decisions, as is what happened in the video[0], is that an agency does not want to telegraph their moves ahead of time, since that would give potential criminals a heads up that they are on a deadline and need to focus on cover up their crimes.

If the questioner needs insight into how policing actions are decided they can ask about pervious cases/decisions and the reasoning that went into those pervious cases/decisions.

Running an occasional scrub is probably a good idea. I don't think any of the other commands mentioned here should be required. Naturally the disk should be balanced as it is written so you shouldn't need explicit balances unless you added a new drive when they others were quite full.

There are a number of commercial substantially sub-$1k prosumer overhead book scanner options now that have nicer work-flows and more automated post processing than the DIY book scanners folks used to hack up (or hand feeding a flatbed) - I think they came out of and subsequently took took a lot of the air out of the DIY efforts. CZUR has been pretty generous with giving book scanning rigs ( https://www.czur.com/product/ETscanner ) to prominent hobbyists (I think CuriousMarc and Shelby from TechTangents and a couple other retrocomputing type youtube folks got them - apparently it was a good marketing move, that's why I'm aware of them).

The two downsides to those rigs here are that it looks like this effort is aiming for 600dpi capture and that would be a ...reach... for the reasonable cost overhead systems, and (Using it as an example because I've looked at theirs) CZUR's machines only go up to about an A3 scan area, while computer shopper was a ridiculous 13x10" format which would be a bit too big to do in the expected 2-up workflow with their units.
Because the previous changes to the file format were done by changing the last two initials of the magic. Someone commented on the pull request suggesting using a version field instead, which hadn't been documented, but Gerganov was so happy with the mmap() contribution that he asked me to keep the initials. So you should ask him why he wanted my initials to be there. I didn't see anyone else raise concerns until later on when the 4chan raid happened. I guess I failed to consider that folks who hate trans women would feel uncomfortable needing to mark their files with the initials of one. Here's the pull request: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/613

I've managed to tick all your boxes on not one but two Lenovo ThinkPads. Ironically I've had trouble with suspend on my previous work Mac laptop running macOS. Also issues with WiFi on the same Mac laptop not present on other devices. Every single hardware failure within warranty I've had on both personal and work laptops have been Apple - LCD, battery, mainboard, dvd drive, just to name a few. Yet all the others I've owned have done their three year duty without fail. Very much a case of YMMV.

The thing is, a compiler could easily recognize the pattern (filter identity (map proc lst ...)) and rewrite it for efficiency (perhaps by using filter-map).

Writing it that way in the first place reduces the verbosity of the code, making it look better.
