> So at the time, practically all US physicist were interested in building actual stuffs, and not working on theoritical models/math equations?

The problem with that approach is: It inevitably leads to stagnation.

If all I do is build practical stuff from what exists, I will get very big, very efficient, very impressive steam engines.

But I will never arrive at an internal combustion engine.

Because that requires exploring another path that, in the beginning, and probably for quite some time, will be less efficient compared to my best steam engines.

The worst are the battery-operated thermostats that you install on individual radiators. Then inevitably the batteries will run empty and you will have a radiator heating full blast in the middle of summer...

So many levels of meta-irony in this thread. You're laughing at a non-existent strawman you've been fed by the media.

The people saying Let's Go Brandon are perfectly happy to say Fuck Joe Biden. That's how the whole thing started. A large crowd at a televised NASCAR race started chanting it in unison whilst the winning driver called Brandon was being interviewed. The words they were saying were perfectly audible, but the interviewer tried to claim the crowd were not saying "Fuck Joe Biden" but rather enthusiastically chanting "Let's Go Brandon".

This immediately became a meme because it's such a perfect shorthand for the duplicity and accountability-free manipulation of the US media.

That's why it became a conservative meme in the following months. But of course because the media don't tell anyone where it came from or why, the people who get their information from it now believe that it's a "hilarious self-own" and people saying it "want to insult but don't want to say the exact words"!
> I ask that with an especial emphasis on the zero knowledge password system which is currently undocumented but, if I'm understanding correctly, also unimplemented?

That one’s easy, it’s just (likely augmented) PAKE. There are a couple options in this space. The zero-knowledge stuff likely comes from the blind salt (OPRF, Oblivious Pseudo-Random Function). There are different variants to chose from, with slightly different security & performance trade-offs. This stuff indeed allows password authentication without ever revealing the password to the server, but the password database itself is still vulnerable to dictionary attacks once it’s stolen.

What worries me though is how they failed to mention PAKE. I’ve seen much of their talk, and to be honest it smelled like snake oil. Very shallow explanation of the protocol, and many missing steps between that and an actual use case. It’s supposed so solve many Big™ problems, but how it achieves it is very unclear to me.
Practically, if your dev machine was compromised by a targeted attacker, they could create commits using your identity and if they compromised another dev machine could approve those commits using their identity. Then the attack would only be visible in commit logs with low odds of discovery before release to prod.

Not sure what fly.io offers vs Heroku or others (I have played with it some time ago but not used for anything serious), but for an equivalent I'd be looking for automated load balancer setup with SSL, easy scaling up so I can go from 1 to 2 or however many web services (with UI or CLI), simple deployment configuration with a Procfile (or whatever) and managed PostgreSQL/MySQL/Redis including backup/restore when needed.

That's more than what I would have or need locally.
Actual paper: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.3c01942

The real question is whether the exposure you'd receive from occasional microwaving would be enough to ever cause any meaningful health problems. Unfortunately papers like these always like to talk about dramatic metrics like 'billions of nanoplastics' without putting that into any meaningful context.
Do we know if this could have an impact on the local population? Also is there any research on the effect of the LHC on people living in Geneva and around?
Completely agree.

It’s all about trade-offs. Which many developers don’t - or just refuse to - understand.

My point was that without some context this kind of conversations - about good and bad code and good and bad coders - are not very useful.

Unclear means no one's got a plausible mechanism, which for the widespread existence of them being implied is a bit of a problem.

They're inert long chain polymers, and amongst other things you need to show bioavailability in the area t you propose would cause damage at sufficient concentrations.

In the current case: how efficiently do nanoplastics cross from the digestive system to the blood stream, how long do they persist before being filtered out by the kidneys, do they retain their structure in the blood stream unchanged, is their a lower limit on toxicity.

i.e. injecting someone with enough pure water will also damage their organs, exposing kidney cells to silica dust in solution in huge concentration would also kill them but there's no way for it to get there in vivo.
Note that there's a difference between being a vegan and eating a plant-based diet. Being a vegan encompasses a plant-based diet but also includes things like animal rights participation and not using any products that were derived from animals such as fur, honey, etc. If you go to r/vegan, they'll downvote you if you're just plant-based dieting.

I'm not a vegan. But I did go on a plant-based diet for a year. I felt great mentally, limited my acid reflux, lost some weight, and lowered my cholesterol. My motivation for doing it was personal health first. The fact that I wasn't eating any animals and helping the environment was a bonus.

I'm no longer on a pure plant-based diet today due to the inconvenience such as social outings. In addition, a lot of plant-based food is actually more expensive than meat-based food, which was surprising to me. I guess our animal-based food making machine reached an economy of scale that surpasses even plants.

I don't recommend that people cut out all meat full-stop. Instead, just cut out 20% first. Have a meat-free day each week. Then increase to 50% and then 80%, etc if you want to keep pushing yourself.

I'm currently meatless for 50% of my meals. For me, it's a good balance between my goals and convenience.

PS. It might feel strange not eating meat for a meal. I sure did. But after doing it for a while, the idea of eating meat felt strange and I felt disgusted at the thought of eating meat.
I do like to bring up camp fires in any "the modern world is killing us" discussions.

In genernal there does seem to be little discussion of relative risks, trade-offs - plus a tendency towards romanticizing older tech as well as a big dose of the naturalistic fallacy.

However I think research into microplastics is important and I'm personally reducing plastic use when it's easy and low-effort.

I also rather enjoy a nice wood fire when I'm camping.
Invest ridicolous amount of money, time, effort and passion to space colonialism instead of solving problems with my neighbours sound hypocritical for me.
Why do you want this kind of locality anyway?
Doesn't that just add a whole lot of unnecessary complexity? If elements have multiple IDs, one of which should not be leaked to the outside, that's just asking for trouble in my opinion.

Is generating UUIDv4 or UUIDv7 really too much effort? I'd assume that writing the row to the database takes longer than generating the UUID.

The FTC has power to deal with deceptive, not with insidious (the latter is dubious as a power of government at all under the First Amendment, but its clearly not, whether or not within the power of government broadly, not something Congress has by statute assigned to the FTC the way they have dealing with deceptive trade practices.)

Thinking about it, i suppose what i actually did to avoid working on my thesis (and pay the bills) was get a part-time programming job, and then that job became full-time, and i never finished the thesis. So, in a sense, fifteen years later, i am still procrastinating.
I actually believe them on that too, FWIW. This time. It's just too dumb. I hope, for their sake, it's the truth.

I was really just trying to point out that this kind of good faith benefit-of-the-doubt has a limit, and fear of reaching that limit should be keeping people at fly up at night a lot more than it apparently is. I don't know how many colossal public fuckups a company can endure before its reputation is permanently ruined, but it's definitely not infinite.
ULIDs are almost the same as UUIDv7, except that they have a few extra random bits that UUIDv7 use to encode the version of UUID. Every UUIDv7 is a valid ULID, and the main difference is the encoding when displayed in a textual form.
I don't have access to the paper, but just reading the abstract it gives these numbers:

> Exposure modeling results suggested that the highest estimated daily intake was 20.3 ng/kg·day for infants drinking microwaved water and 22.1 ng/kg·day for toddlers consuming microwaved dairy products from polypropylene containers.

> Furthermore, an in vitro study conducted to assess the cell viability showed that the extracted microplastics and nanoplastics released from the plastic container can cause the death of 76.70 and 77.18% of human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T) at 1000 μg/mL concentration after exposure of 48 and 72 h, respectively.

If I'm reading this right, they exposed these HEK293T kidney cells to far higher concentrations (1000 μg is 1000000 ng, and that's per mL) than toddlers would be exposed to from these containers. So the fact that the cells die doesn't really mean much, since exposure to too much of anything will cause cells to die.

The real question is whether the exposure you'd receive from occasional microwaving would be enough to ever cause any meaningful health problems. Unfortunately papers like these always like to talk about dramatic metrics like 'billions of nanoplastics' without putting that into any meaningful context.
Salt and sugars are natural parts of our environment and salt is actually a necessary part of our diet. We have organs evolved explicitly for the purpose of maintaining homeostasis of salt and sugar, namely our kidneys and pancreas.

For plastics we have no evolved tolerance.

Thanks for that. I share your thoughts on the content density in Arc vs Orion.

The solution you're proposing (kanban style) is intriguing and something I would find pretty useful. Might even make me switch to Orion back.

I switched from Orion mainly because Spaces don't share cookies and sessions with each other, meaning that I can have [Private][Work - General][Work - Client] and use for example Gmail in each of those with different accounts, without fear of switching to a personal/work one.

I also lost tabs in Orion when syncing multiple devices, which Arc has handled flawlessly. It's interesting, because they both use iCloud.

> During such a quench, the liquid helium in the magnet warms up and turns into a gas that is recovered by the cryogenic system to be re-liquified, ready to cool down the magnets again.

They're capturing the helium, so it isn't released usually. Not sure what they do with the nitrogen, I'd guess that is released as it is much cheaper. But in any case the amounts involved in such a quench are only a danger in the immediate vicinity, not outside. So if you're in the same room as a quenching magnet and the room isn't sufficiently sized or ventilated, there could be danger. But that's about the limit to it.
Severe mutations and deformities.
Agreed. Thank you for the contribution.

Thinking as a reader, I’d also like add to your note: and this does not mean microservices (another technical practice) automatically gives you this either.

The microservices (optionally) come after discovering and choosing a useful model for your solution. Put time into this bit, not the technical practices.

From the Wikipedia article you linked:

> Lesson #5: Proportionality should be a guideline in war.

> McNamara talks about the proportions of cities destroyed in Japan by the US before the dropping of the nuclear bomb, comparing the destroyed Japanese cities to similarly-sized cities in the US: Tokyo, roughly the size of New York City, was 51% destroyed; Toyama, the size of Chattanooga, was 99% destroyed; Nagoya, the size of Los Angeles, was 40% destroyed; Osaka, the size of Chicago, was 35% destroyed; Kobe, the size of Baltimore, was 55% destroyed; etc. He says LeMay once said that, had the United States lost the war, they would have been tried for war crimes, and agrees with this assessment.

You wouldn’t have to experiment on children as such. You can follow children who were Brest fed and children who were bottle fed and compare the two.

It’s sort of a worrying study for me personally. Because bottle feeding only really works so well because you can microwave, both for cleaning and for heating, modern bottles so easily. If you have to go back to glass containers it’ll be a literal nightmare for most parents.

> I'm not really buying the narrative that they're not suitable for the web.

Good, because from a technical perspective, you don't need to. The legibility argument has been less and less relevant as screen resolutions have gotten good enough to display serifs in a reasonably print-like manner. (Which was arguably around 2010–2014 when Apple normalized “Retina” displays above 200 dpi, but is especially true today, now that the majority of web browsing occurs on mobile devices).

What makes the difference is of course the cultural and branding associations with serif typefaces. But actually thinking about it now, I feel like I've been seeing a lot more serif typography on the web recently, even in modern, tech-related contexts. And looking at the big example of theverge.com with its quirky redesign, I think you might just get your renaissance soon :)

Transforming Transaction Search with NLP at Fold
Do we know if... the magnet heating up, and the helium leaking into the vacuum chamber... could have an impact on the local population? I think they'll be ok!
At Fold, a robust, functional transaction search experience is one of our core pillars. While we still have work to do, we've made significant strides by NLP to enhance our search. We've shared our journey from basic matching to an intent-based search model on our blog, detailing how we're approaching this challenge from an engineering perspective. This post delves into our continuous learning process, challenges, and our future plans to improve our transaction search system.

Given it was only relatively recently they were talking about getting their first deployment out the door, I'd suspect that staying mostly quiet is strategically wise in terms of avoiding having more prospective customers come in the door at once than they can (as yet) service to the standard they want to.

So "they probably really really -want- to show it off, but are showing remarkable restraint for good reason" seems at the very least plausible to me.
The internet wouldn't be what it is as a government project. Millions of person-hours invested by mostly private companies to make networks and lay cables and create software (which is also constantly out-competed by other software).

A government can't do that, and wouldn't try. The internet is overwhelmingly a result of private indivuals and companies doing work.

Ironically of course, the internet's origins were a US government project. So even then, you're not making tons of sense in the context of this thread.
