That's a beautiful proof! And yeah, it generalizes to higher dimensions. If you're in the corner of an N-dimensional hypercube, then the hypercube has 2n faces of dimension n-1. You're touching half of these faces, leaving n faces to form pyramids out of. And just like in the 3D case, they're arranged symmetrically so they must all have the same volume.

EDIT: got around to reading TFA and it's also the top answer, so there's a nice visualization.

Diving deeper into the proof, say the hypercube is a unit hypercube, spanning from (0, ..n, 0) to (1, ..n, 1) -- where "..n" means "a sequence of length n". Then:

Each corner is a point (b_1, ..n, b_n) where each b_i is 0 or 1.

You're located at (0, ..n, 0).

The hypercube has 2n faces, which can be represented as a pair (i, b) where 0<=i<n and b is 0 or 1. The face (i, b) touches the 2(n-1) corners whose i'th coordinate is equal to b.

You touch half of those faces: specifically the faces (i, 0) for each 0<=i<n.

You can draw a pyramid to the other half of the faces, since you don't touch them. These pyramids must all have the same volume, by the symmetry of coordinate permutations, which is an operation that preserves volume.
Intrusive lists are not bad. Building one does not require heap allocation unless the object itself is heap allocated. I can imagine this being case for a list of console commands, just a bunch of static allocated structs in various places tied together via intrusive list. In fact we (abother game company) are also how are doing it today as well

As for the linear search, it is just console commands. User types it and then it makes a search in what, a couple hundred entries at most? Sounds perfectly fine
It’s early, but right now the 2024 GOP nominee will probably be either DeSantis or Trump.

There is no denying that DeSantis is a rising star in the Republican Party and has become very influential.

I don't buy it either. I don't know about the Europe comparison, but there's plenty of high quality food available for low cost in the US. I notice many people just fill up with crappy box goods or fast food though.
They said the same thing about bitcoin.
But yet no name-and-shame for the country?
I’ve never seen food being cheaper in Europe. Maybe eating out, but grocery store prices in France and Germany always seemed a bit high to me, though a bargain compared to Switzerland.

The centroid makes sense intuitively when you think about it as a center of mass. Since it's the average position, for every portion that's father away there is, in a sense, a portion that's closer - the portion being equal either insofar as it is larger and closer to the center or smaller and father away, and since the size/volume of a ring increase linearly with distance in an intuitive manner, you can justify to yourself that you should be using the centroid without any formal calculus, just by considering the "weight" of a ring.

That hits the nail on the head. I cannot comprehend how this book is so popular. It literally covered in dozens of cute little platitudes like "take little steps". It does not contain a single paragraph of original thought. It's just so... naively simplistic, so _obivous_.
Naturally, if they transform into TikTok one might wonder why they persist in visiting Reddit instead of simply just going to TikTok.
Most of the comments suggest strange conspiracy theories, but the traffic is an exponential ramp (drive into 2023). Also, there has been rapid growth in some neighboring countries.

It could be organic growth. There have apparently been a few wiretapping scandals this year; people may be using it to access Ukraine/Russia, and a bunch of laws passed last year that incentivize US companies to block EU traffic (to avoid fines for data leaks).

Any of those seem more plausible than a single actor renting a rack or dc in one country, and using tor to try to evade detection.

Yea, well 0F is too damn cold for humans and 100F is too damn hot, so its a pretty good scale for humans.
Yawn. Demonstrate it? Get someone to reproduce it?
>There are also those who are power hungry, routinely abuse their power

I see this argument all the time, but isn't this just human nature? In any organized structure, some people are going to seek out "power" and abuse it. You will find people making the same complaint about their neighbor who is the head of the homeowner association. It's also part of why people become cops, or if they can't get there, security guards.

Every broad "type" of community on the internet has had this problem. I remember growing up, there were plenty of capricious IRC moderators and admins as well as moderators of individual forums. Little dictators.

I will say, I feel like there was a concerted effort to frame these API changes as specifically being harmful to those with disabilities and moderators (I guess in an attempt to point to short term, immediate concrete harms that would come from this), which opened things up to reframing the whole discussion around as a referendum on moderation.

And apparently most people can't make a simple connection and ask "Why did Reddit not care about these flagrant power abuses before? Will they keep caring after this is over?"

And it seems like that's been fairly successful. But I still think Reddit has doomed itself with this move.
>Models of the human brain would likely be indistinguishable in every way, shape, and form from the real thing.

Except all those pesky qualia...
Given that things can get colder than the freezing point of water, yes it is arbitrary.
Are these moderators powerful, shady media moguls like Rupert Murdoch?

Or are they naive chumps with too much time on their hands, tricked into doing free labour for a big corporation that actively disdains them?

I always thought the people manipulating opinion on social media were using bot accounts, rather than moderator positions.
The caveat was "if the platform really cared". For instance, if I was running a platform that had such an interesting (and important, one might argue) social phenomenon as the Ask Me Anything of celebrities or of vacuum repair techs [1] reaching 22+ million people I would pay the ones doing the work way beyond the equivalent wages of "free labour market". But what do I know, I generally regard exploitation as bad and social media companies as a scourge.

The difference is there are some 3000 universities in the US. I guarantee you, the vast majority of students who could make the cut at Harvard are not attending a college ranked at 1500. So when you compare an average student at Harvard, maybe there's no significant difference between that student and students at the top 100 (or pick a number, 100 seems high frankly, I've studied in universities ranked around 20, 50, 100 and the differences in the average student and course difficulty was quite big between the 20 and 100) ranked universities, but there's certainly a difference between that student and the average college student.

Lifelong San Antonio resident here - we actually hit an all time high heat index of 115 this year only to exceed it by another 2 degrees a couple days later.

The Army has expressed interest in the past for taking over the A-10 fleet should the Air Force try to retire it, but that was 2013.

https://archive.today/20130915210441/http://www.defensenews....

Meanwhile, the Marines are trying to figure out how to utilize the A-10 even more.

https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2019...

If the Army doesn't pick up the A-10, then the Marines certainly would.

In my opinion, the only way the A-10 goes away is if the Air Force comes up with a direct replacement for the A-10's CAS, and the "Swiss Army Knife" F-35 isn't it.
> If Reddit came to you and tried to charge you to keep the subreddit running at all – as in, it'd be deleted from the web if the mods didn't pay – would that change the answer here? I have this suspicion that – for at least some smaller subs – it would.

A new F15-EX comes with a lifetime of 25,000 flying hours. An F35 only has 9,000. We have extensive history that the F15 flying hours are a solid estimate, while the F35 estimate seems a bit high.

An F15 has much better range than and F35.

An F15 can carry a lot more armament than an F35.

F15s are much more suitable for the interceptor role than F35.

Do you really want to burn precious F35 hours to send a fast jet out over the Atlantic to take a look at something, or send an F15? The F15 will be able to reach out a lot farther, get there faster, be able to do more when it gets there. It may not be as survivable as an F35 in a near peer combat situation, but that's why we have the F35.
It’s okay if they can burn hydrogen.
I hate talking about votes, but I upvoted your comment for the excellent responses it provided. Curious if you have any thoughts on them.

I think your central issue isn’t with writing in of itself, as the surplus of extraneous pointless vacuous writing that is out these days. Social media posts, tweets, content farming blogs, fake-FAQs, carousel listicles, comments comments comments- are surrounded by so much bad, pre-AI analog AI generated writing or quick takes written without deep thought. That’s what you probably have issues with, not with writing itself.

"Computer Science" comes in two flavours, systems and theory. Each of you is talking about a different flavour.

IANAL, but as I understand it, copyright covers things that are 'fixed in a tangible medium', which means the representation of the character, not the idea of the character.

However, if you base your character on the ideas formed when you observed the representation of the other character, that's a derivative work.

For someone like Mickey who has been in many works, if one of the works is out of copyright and you base a new work on that, that's fine (if we ignore trademark concerns). But if your derivative work happens to look a lot like an existing derivative work still under copyright, that's likely going to be seen as infringing the work under copyright. Independent creation is a valid defense for copyright infringemen, but isn't very credible in this case.

Trademark has totally different issues. Which will be an issue for selling and advertising derivatives of works Disney uses as trademarks.

Not sure what that is. Like a news+activity feed? I think outsourcing recommendation engines to 3rd parties and letting users subscribe to the recommendation engine (which might include ads for incentive) of their choice would be neat. People want stuff recommended to them.

For example, I would want to subscribe to good news sources that are both global and US centric and any infosec related recommendation sources. Others might want content recommended to them if it is shared by people with creds/reputation in other platforms or if they are their friends. I can imagine a "friends and family" recommender that connects to all other social media and recommends events from their in one feed.

The part that was new to me was the bit about how a space full of life tends toward more entropy faster than the same amount of space without life.

Like the best ideas, it’s simple and makes sense if you think about it, but it’s still a really interesting framing that the complex machinery of life is really just the most efficient “entropy converter”.

If there’s something about the arrow of time that speeds towards the heat death of the universe, we’re just helping it go a tiny bit faster here on our floating speck of dust.
The Air Force would be happy to operate a new replacement CAS platform if they had funding for it.

The issue is the web-bulb temperature which humans cannot really adapt to.

This is an excellent explanation. If we imagine the triangle being swept about in a circle, the points in the "outer" section (forming the circle at edge of the base our our cone) will cover more distance the points in the "inner" section (the points near the center line of our cone that we're revolving around). The distance moved by the centroid, then, is the average distance a point travels.

You still depend on someone to run another server in the event your PDS (Personal Data Server) goes away. It's just a different, bigger server (Big Graph Service) where the people who run it are even less knowable than those who run your PDS.

Moving data only works in this case if you've thought to attach your DID to a domain you control, and the server you move to connects to the BGS server your data lives on. It's still very unclear how this will work. I suspect it will be like Usenet where most BGS indexers have expiry rules and won't hold on to every post.

This is more complicated than AP and Mastodon where you know exactly where you stand when your server goes down. So many people are going to be burned because they heard it's all portable, but didn't actually understand how it worked, and find they can't migrate their identity or their posts because it all rested under [handle].somehugecentralizedserver.tld.

People who struggle with instances on Mastodon (and eventually, Bluesky) are not going to have an easier time figuring out domains and DNS to make their identity portable. This remains a huge unaddressed issue and should concern people who think Bluesky is easier just because it's unfinished.
There's still a lot of information visible through those circles. You might not be able to recover every bit, but that's not necessary with QR's built-in redundancy. So I too wonder how much data could be recovered from this.
