Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
– Donald Knuth

It's not just hypothetical either. There was a bug in a sorting algorithm a few years back that had been 'proved' correct. I think it was to do with numbers wrapping, and that hadn't been considered in the mathematical proof.

Wouldn't this be just continuation of the fact that 2-dimentional shapes have 0 volume? Or are you talking about hypercones ?

Interesting. My "generic uses and purposes" was to occasionally scroll around through tweets somebody linked me to.

That's entirely impossible now since I don't have an account (and don't plan to create one).

Roughly speak, it has become infinitely worse for me.

That's an excellent overall summary as he covers almost every aspect of the subject albeit in brief. It would be good if he produced a second video dealing with the low entropy of incoming energy from the sun and the higher entropy of radiated energy from earth and relate that to global warming.

In all the debate over global warming little is talked about why say CO2 and other greenhouse gasses increase the earth's temperature and how they shift the wavelength of the radiated energy from earth. In other words we need to explain in simple terms why the incoming and outgoing energy can remain the same yet the earth's temperature has increased.
Look only at page 1, where the volume of the cone is calculated.

The sum of surfaces is on page 2 about the surface of a sphere.
That is correct. It is a webassembly runtime that you can embed in your go project. There are also other wasm runtimes that run outside the browser, this is one written in Go
This is just false, there is little evidence to suggest anything of the kind. China wants to secure its imperial borders (Tibet, Xinjiang) as a show of national pride, and it wants to ensure the security of its people by making sure the islands in front of the mainland can't be used to stage an attack and the SCS cannot be blockaded by the US. American senators and generals proudly proclaim they have the power to starve the Chinese with a blockade in the SCS or block access to the Pacific - it is only natural for China to not want to be in that situation.

None of the actions China resembles European colonialism.
Not really. I preferred the approach of pre-Musk twitter that clearly labeled it as Russian state media. Also banning it had little effect. The war propaganda coming out of Russia was hilariously incompetent.

The real insidious anti-Ukrainian propaganda is coming from pro-Russian Westerners, pre-dominantly the American populist right.
Source? I’m in NL and I can access it just fine. I use Cloudflare for DNS though
I use tor for exploring topics that I don't want to tie to my regular profile (ranging from professional software development, through health care issues, but also hobbies, fiction and nsfw content). Having these browsing in a separate profile and also IP address makes it much more relaxed to look for interesting stuff on the internet. (I am not really fond of advertisement that tries to sell me whatever I've visited in the past month, on unrelated pages.)

It saddens me that the default response is ban, increasingly so for services that need account, but even just reading a webpage can become tedious or impossible :(

Please, do not ruin this option, because even though you may not use it today, you may need it in the future.

Note: I also use tor for low volume crawling. When high volume is needed, it is more favorable to subscribe for domestic VPN proxies, so you may be blocking tor, but you won't block those ranges, and the robots will get their content anyway.
Bull Market or Bull Trap?
I deal with oxygen concentrators daily after I put together a family of heart failure patients. I think we have 4 working concentrators, plus bottle oxygen.

1. Check your blood oxygen saturation with several pulse oximeters. They are not reliable enough to only use one.

1.1 You can buy sleep study watches that monitor your oxygen levels constantly and record / graph it, but they involve things that clip on your finger tip. It is hard to work with one on.

1.2 Most oxygen monitoring activity trackers are fake. Even brand names do not read the same as medical pulse oximeters and sleep study watches.

2. Open a window. If outside air is better, breathe outside air.

3. Monitor your air. You seem to have a CO2 meter. Get a second one and check if it is reliable. If they disagree, buy a third unit as a tie breaker. Compare your inside air to outside air, which should be below 400 ppm CO2.

3.1 Buy several oxygen meters and check the oxygen in your outside air (should be 20 percent, plus or minus 1 percent.) Check the inside air Oxygen meters can usually be calibrated.

4. If you use an oxygen cylinder, be aware of what can happen if you drop it. A mount that is screwed to a wall or a good stand is not optional.

4.1 if you use an oxygen cylinder, make sure it is medical oxygen and not contaminated with welding gasses.

4.2 if you use an oxygen cylinder, make sure you calculate the cost with a regulator, tubing, cannula, and frequency refills. They do not last long.

4.3 If you use an oxygen cylinder, make sure not to get too much oxygen in the room. Remember the Apollo 1 fire.

4.4 If you buy or rent oxygen cylinders, there are different sizes.

5. If you consider an oxygen concentrator, they are cheaper used, but bring your own tester and check them out. Many used ones are broken. Selling a broken oxygen concentrator can kill heart failure patients, but it happens.

5.1 If you buy an oxygen concentrator, it separates oxygen from surrounding air. That gives oxygen through a tube and oxygen depleted air around the concentrator. Keep a window open and a fan on for at least an hour a day.

5.2 If you buy an oxygen concentrator, do not put it in a box or closet to muffle the noise. It sucks the oxygen out of that area and then can not get any more oxygen.

5.3 If you buy an oxygen concentrator you will need tubing and cannulas.

5.4 I can imagine someone plugging in an oxygen concentrator without a cannula. It would separate oxygen from room air and dump them out 2 exit points, allowing them to recombine. This would be useless.

5.5 Oxygen concentrators heat up the room. Be prepared for as much heat as an extra PC workstation produces.

6. Oxygen toxicity is real, but I have no experience with it.

7. There are legends of guys putting several oxygen concentrators in a well ventilated out building / storage building and flooding a room in the main building with oxygen. This takes us back to the Apollo 1 fire and to oxygen toxicity.
And NATO or ukrainian propaganda?

Because that is also a thing, even though not as blatant.

The problem with banning information, is that it is easy to abuse this and it creates a martyr effect. I rather would like people be able to judge information by themself and not decide for them.

There's an interview with Bo Burnham where he puts it clearly...

> Don't listen to people who just got very lucky. Taylor Swift telling you to "follow your dreams" is like a lottery winner saying "liquidise your assets, buy Powerball tickets. It works!"

And that's the thing. Skill and talent are important, but there's a certain amount of success that's only achievable through luck, or through starting from _so far ahead_ that it's just genuinely out of reach for us mere mortals.

Is the experience of those people irrelevant? No, but it's also not actually applicable to most other people.
> but it is addictive and harmful

That's not at all a given.
The vast majority of people use their ISP’s DNS server, though.
Have something changed in how German police goes after drug dealers? It's the most important use case for Tor anyway.
I don't think that makes a difference, because the shipping company has accepted liability for the stolen goods. The company looked at the value of the goods, and decided on these particular security measures, knowing they'd be on the hook if anything got stolen. Shit got stolen, and now they're paying up. You can't treat every shipment like it's the Mona Lisa, so if there's only $8.7 million of merchandise, you do the maths and optimise accordingly.

Put another way, it was a business decision.

..this seems almost like the opposite of what I'm looking for in retro gaming, unless I'm misunderstanding something. Retroarch has a whole archive of shaders that are meant to simulate scanlines and other pixel imperfections (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC99UbS8-JI).
Probably depends on what kind of service you're providing.

I (a legitimate user) get blocked on websites when using Tor quite a lot. It's a pita. :(

That being said, there's no chance in hell I'd ever put a CC or similar private info though a Tor based network connection. Just in case... ;)
Is tor really the go-to workaround for this and not just a VPN?

I would be shocked if any intelligence service in the world wouldn't have their hands in that, even in the most respected democracies. Infiltrating "underground" networks and communities, and breaking encryption, is literally their job.

Especially now that there's a war on our borders, the spooks have a plethora of reasons to use to justify their invasiveness.

We just need to make sure to keep them accountable, which is the tricky part, as their work is always classified and our human and privacy rights often clash with their jobs, so unless any whistleblower comes through we might never know the extent of their rule breaking.
Same, and it's pretty funny that people are downvoting you for this. Some people truly believe that their subjective perspective is the truth for everyone.
I wonder what impact this will have on joke reviews that people put on Amazon. From the article, it seems like this is just focused on the businesses themselves. But some products on Amazon, like famously the sugar free gummy bears, have people blow up the reviews with fake meme reviews.
I'm aware of the legal distinctions (I'm an attorney)... it was my lament that America in 2023 protects commercial enterprise against false reviews while the very foundations of American democracy are crushed by coordinated lies by politicians.

The merchants are lucky no one got hurt. Imagine being a guard, thinking what you were guarding was worth x amount, and it was actually worth 10x that and you get killed or injured because the employer reasonably assumed there wasn't a big risk of getting jacked. This is totally on the merchants.

You seem to be implying that you fall into this group.
In hardware all products are constantly changing.

Examples:
A part gets obsoleted by vendor, sustaining engineering has to find a replacement. They conduct a small study to see how the new part works. The budget for conducting lengthy tests to determine if a simple change has any effect at the worst case tolerances is typically not there.

Suppliers quality changes over time. This is known as supplier quality fade. Suppliers will often underbid a part to win a contract. Then once volume ramps up they begin value engineering. Maybe they add more regrind material to an injection mold. Or they progressively begin to make the part slightly thinner on each subsequent batch. Maybe they begin to use a toxic filler material without notice.

An colleague literally had a situation in which a steel casting supplier was putting rocks in the castings.

Companies move injection mold tooling from vendor A to vendor B. The tooling might be the same but the settings are different, so the results are then different.

Without an excellent quality team that has money and time to check everything this will happen.

If you are competing in a marketplace with low margins there will never be enough money to check everything.
When I studied Russian we were taught (by native speakers) that щ was pronounced “shch”. But then when we went to Russia literally everyone pronounced it like a longer and softer ш. I still don’t really understand what happened there.

Yeah but the author's message is... Problematic. Warping the way you talk because of a creepy manager/engineering culture is not healthy.

Anyway the engineers don't say 'this would take an hour to fix and it's worth X to do it'. It's all intuitive! 'this is really annoying so the team agrees to do it soon'. It's not about being a perfect utilitarian robot it's about being productive and having a good life.

Last time I checked, layoffs are still happening. You have two choices: 1) stay at this current job even though it is stupid and unpredictable 2) Voluntarily give up this job and compete with thousands if not tens of thousands of very skilled engineers whe have just been layed off for positions. Easy choice, right?

In fact, I'd recommend you do some job hunting right now and get an offer to prove your point.

It is always amazing that some people can be so out of touch and speak to people in this tone.
They should compare with other multithreading and GPU approaches for SAT/SMT solving (like https://www.win.tue.nl/~awijs/articles/parafrost_gpu.pdf from Armin Biere, or other works from Mate Soos). There has been a lot of research in this direction.

After a quick internet search I found some straight forward tutorials about moving instances.

So you don't loose followers/follows but can't move posts (but they are kept alive as long as the old instance is active). That is IMO not that bad at all.

Maybe it is just a matter of time we get full account moving, I don't see why that would be technically impossible to do.
That's external debt. I'm talking about total private credit.

Private credit is what brought the 2008 crisis in the USA. The public debt wasn't the problem before, but it was after: using public debt to pay private debt from banks.

And that's what the article is also talking about: China keeps the USD in their own banks and prints CNY to spend, but how many USD for how many CNY is not clear.

It's pretty much a Ponzi. As long as people don't ask their USD back from their CNY it's all good. Good luck when people starts asking USD from China.

I have never found psychedelics to be more than an enjoyable way to spend an evening or weekend, but a large body of psychiatrists and medical researchers take the potential of psychedelics as a a therapeutic tool quite seriously and there is scientific research to support this position. If you find it completely laughable, I would hope you have some sort of significant scientific evidence to support that position.

As for the spiritual bit, I don't understand how you could begin to argue this point. A spiritual experience is subjective and dependent on the person - if people can find meditation, walks in nature, staring up at the stars, listening to music, reading a book, etc., to be spiritual experiences, why in the world couldn't a trip on LSD do the same?
I don't think this is a misunderstanding, but rather simply that you're happy enough using shaders. This is for people who want real native resolution using the best display from the period the games were available. Probably only a niche of the "retro" scene.

> It would definitely compress much better than roaring bitmaps. In terms of performance, it depends on the access patterns. If very sparse (large jumps), PEF would likely be faster, if dense (visit a large fraction of the bitmap), it'd be slower.

Just for clarification you mean the access pattern is sparse and not the data itself? How is that relevant?

I did part of the investigation and implementation, but didn't look much into elias fano coding.
The select for the dense codec is already really fast (with popcount), there's not much room for improvement on the instruction side (https://godbolt.org/z/dq7WeE66Y), except implicitly by touching less memory.
The sparse codec with its binary search should be easy to beat though. Partitioned Elias-Fano indexes may be a superior choice in contrast to the sparse codec in terms of rank and compression, and probably less so for select and code complexity.
Even US citizens need health care and very likely has mortgage to pay.
I don’t think that is relevant here. If in one country you need a VPN to bypass blocking but others you only need a different DNS server I would expect most users to go for the latter if given a choice.
As a Danish person who has been to Eastern Germany (outside Berlin) I'm really not surprised by the rise of the AfD. It's common to see people on social media praise Germans for de-Nazification and criticize the Japanese for not confronting their past in the same way. Those people have clearly not interacted with Eastern Germans. In Eastern Germany the underlying neuroticism, persecution complex, and willingness to believe in every conspiracy theory, things that were foundational for the rise of Nazism, is very much still alive.
This is the story of the Chernobyl disaster as well. There had been two similar accidents preceding it, in 1975 at the Leningrad NPP and in 1983 at the Ignalina NPP. Only after the second one the design flaws were well understood, but they weren't fixed in the following years.
I doubt it's either of those - it would be extremely unethical and illegal for academics to do, and governments don't need to take this approach because they have a bunch of systemic attacks that are less obvious. Perhaps someone with a botnet looking to sell unmasking, which has been popping up as a service recently. Or trying to use it against a specific DWM or vendor.

They are being raised as therapeutic tools because research shows that empirically, psychedelics do help with some mental issues, and sometimes in better ways than conventional medicine. They need to become more socially accepted because current legislation bans a lot of research on them under cover of the war on drugs, an that legislation can be changed if public sentiment changes. If tobacco was discovered to be good for say, depression, it'd be stupid to ban researchers from acquiring any under the guise of "tobacco cause cancer so nobody should be allowed to buy it ever". On top of that, drugs are absolutely winning the war on drugs, because the current policy of punishing users for either having fun on their own time or being addicts who literally will die if they stop is absurd. There is a middle ground between throwing addicts in prison and selling heroin in cafes, and that comes with mental help and social assistance to those in positions where hard drugs and dependance on them is preferable to experiencing life sober.
