Copper and a magnet can certainly interact. Drop a magnet through a copper pipe and the eddy currents will induce a field that's opposed to the magnet causing a damping effect. Maybe something like this is going on where movement of the magnetic field is inducing an opposed magnetic field in the copper, and thus interacting.

Anyhow it will be interesting. if It can generate a field of 1.5-2 Tesla you could have more efficient solenoids and probably motors.
Again, they are asking how to solve a math problem, in code. That's a two big-step problem, no attempt to solve it on their own. Big problems:

- Does not show any attempt or willingness to try to solve the problem first on their own.

- Does not even give any indication of where the problem comes from, why it might be interesting, etc., it's just a "how to calculate X?", which could easily be a homework problem.

- It is about finding a (possibly) mathematical solution, and then implement it in C++. Two very big and different problem, asking the audience to do them both. Again no attempt to fix either of these two problems on their own.

- I'll concede the optimal thing might be a language issue.

> I’m not sure that’s actually possible to do.

But that's not my point, my point is that I already showed more willingness to try to solve this problem than OP. And THAT is a big problem. It's not on topic about any of those points, in fact if you remove the bit where OP is asking us to give them the full solution in C++ it could be a good question for the Mathematics SE!

My OS class definitely didn't characterize fork() as maligned, just as a powerful building block (which it is). It took me professional experience to realize it sucks.
I looked up the last Android phone I owned: a Galaxy Nexus (2011), which shipped with 4.0, and stopped receiving OS updates after 4.3. Which is pretty much why I stopped using Android.

I think Google is doing a better job of supporting their own brand of phones these days, but it remains unfortunate for Android app developers that you have to either target a ~5 year old OS or cut off millions of users.

I think 4-6 years old is a better deal financially versus 2 for ICE cars (often right before or just after the factory warranty expires and people get spooked by that, reducing the bid for the fleet at that age).

The incentives on EVs perturb the market slightly, and I don’t expect EVs being made today to last as long as ICE cars being made today, so buying or leasing new could make more sense in the EV case if you can get a bunch of trunk money thrown in. (I say this as a family with an 8.5 year old EV LEAF and an 18 year old ICE CR-V who appreciates both cars.)

I think the main selling point for Unix-like OS, but in Rust, is focused on Rust. It's to ensure that the memory related errors are less likely, and hopefully with enough work, the system can be essentially what we have today, but with less CVEs.

It's honestly a decent goal and I'm in support of it.

I know that there will inevitably be many now that come to state the obvious "well it doesn't guarantee safety" and "there are other reasons for CVE", etc. Nonetheless, it's not a bad idea.

Yes I generally agree that the absolute version of "Free markets" as in 0 government (it's very existence is a distortion), is not going to work either, and it will just lead to interested groups using acquired forms of power to create distortions in their own favor.

More so I'd propose a system of government which has baked into its constitution things which remove the power of capital from politics. For example lobbying and non-individual and non limited campaign donations are 2 such things that must be not allowed.

This seems like splitting hairs? They totally understand how modern neural networks work, they spend all day with them.
That's right. It can be a bit hard to keep track of but the rules are quite simple. You start with all the columns from a `from`, then any `derive` just adds columns. A `select` restricts the columns to those selected and a `group + aggregate` replaces the columns with those from the `group` + those from the `aggregate`.

I once tabled a proposal whether each query should be forced to end with a `select` to make the final column list explicit. This could be generated by the compiler. It was felt that that wasn't necessary though and would also be somewhat arbitrary since you also need to know what columns are available at each previous step of the pipeline if you want to be able to make modifications. As the tooling improves, you could perhaps be shown the current list of columns as you hover over each line?

They wrote the recipe. It looks like it's easier (for people that has a similar lab) to make your own instead of filling all the import reports to get one.

Some superconductors get destroyed by humidity, so it may be difficult to ship them.

If nobody can reproduce them, then they can send samples or travel the word making samples on site, or receive researches to train them.

The good part of publishing the recipe, is that other people can make small variations. If this is true, there is just now a big race to get a higher record temperature.

Yeah one of the big challenges with off grid at that latitude is that your december and january kWh cumulative production (per month) will really suck. It's not as bad as it used to be with panels available at $0.40 per STC watt rating.

If you go to the NREL pvwatts calculator and plug in a theoretical 20kW STC rated system at his latitude/longitude you'll find that the Dec. and Jan. production will not be very much at all.

Sometimes it can be more affordable to significantly over-size a system to product enough kwH per month in mid winter vs. spending $4000+ on a generator.

If you can get 360W 72-cell panels at $150 a piece in whole-pallet quantities, 4000 bucks buys a lot of panels... Not counting the mounting and cabling and junction box cost.

As a budgetary figure, can easily spend $4000 on a small Generac propane generator and wiring/transfer switch.

At other times it can totally make sense to have a small generator to run 2-3 hours a day in mid winter, feeding a charger that can add a constant 1500W into a battery system to keep up the battery string voltage.
This looks like a fair deal.

$2.75/hour immediate bump and +$7.50/hour over the next five years; $21/hour floor for part-time workers; eliminating 22.4s, which Bloomberg describes as "a class of drivers who earned less" [1]; air conditioning in new vehicles; MLK Day as a paid holiday; and the "creation of 7,500 new full-time Teamster jobs at UPS and the fulfillment of 22,500 open positions."

I think the main reason mainline SQLs continue to be popular is that, unlike general purpose programming languages, the implementation of the query runner is the most important aspect, not then language spec. Take Python for instance. The official implementation objectively sucks, yet it remains extremely popular because the language implementation is only a part of a language’s success. That won’t fly for a db engine.

You're arguing that "cutting emissions to net zero" means "billions of people not industrializing" and "rolling over and turning into cavemen".

You're getting downvoted by all the people who don't view "net zero" and "growth" as contradictory (like you're asserting they are). And the fact that you just assert like it was as obvious as breathing, that there's a dichotomy there between economic growth and zero emissions means people don't want to bother engaging with you.

I think it's an important unanswered question whether intelligence really is the bottleneck for many of the things that require it. Is the production of better and better computer chips really bottlenecked by the intellect of the designers, or by simulation software and the back and forth between design and the physical process of prototyping and testing?

And if intelligence is not the bottleneck... well... is superintelligence actually worth as much as we think it is? Is human intellect the apex of what biological systems can do, or is it merely the point past which intelligence stops being the bottleneck and the returns of higher intelligence drop off dramatically?

That's the recommended way to get Rust nightly too: https://rustup.rs/ But don't look there, there is memory safety somewhere!
I think we're using aggregate statistics in two different ways.

Technically speaking - the whole idea with a language model is that you're learning to generalize underlying patterns of text, not just memorize the input text. Otherwise language models would be very good at echoing back training data but fail miserably during validation. If we go back to the training sequence - it's trying to maximize the posterior given the conditional probabilities in the sequence:

P(y1, y2, ... yn ) = P(y1) * P(y2|y1) ... P(yn|y1...yn-1)

That probability is by definition an aggregate; it's the best fit given potentially competing inputs of the training set that all have the same input conditional chains.

Where generative LLMs have a leg-up is because they have such a large parameter space, large context windows, and coherent sampling strategies. This helps them stay internally consistent with their response data. But at the end of the day what they are learning are still patterns. That's why they aren't able to link content back to the exact source of origin; parameters fuse inputs from different places into one hybrid.

Seeding a generative chain with Einstein or someone down the street doesn't change the fact that what's next is some fused learning from a lot of different training set inputs.
Because they can’t pay low prices for great work? Is this bad?

Tautologically false, has to be one of the oddest things I've ever seen to be so wrong about.

Like, you're using big words to indicate that under no situation is this true, when the reality is that "inflation" is not by definition CPI. CPI is one measure of inflation.

But it just caught my eye that this seems, extra wrong. It's hard to read something extra wrong on the internet, and yet it feels like you've succeeded.

People are wrong on all of the time, but to call something tautologically false when it's trivially true, is peak wrongness.

> This is quite surprising! Is there any explanation for this observed behavior? Are there saturated v4 paths that have a less congested v6 alternative? Are CG-NATs adding that much latency?

I can give a few theories. Some CGNAT setups do add a lot of latency (e.g. T-Mobile hand v6 traffic off locally where possible but v4 has to be hauled to one of their CGNAT installations, which might be a long way away). Some CGNATs are outright overloaded. v6 doesn't have a checksum, so routers don't need to update the checksum when they fiddle the TTL header. NAT must add some latency too.

A "page load" involves lots of round-trips, so even a very small difference in round-trip time can add up to make a bigger difference in page load time. (This does suggest that improvements to HTTP and rate control algorithms to reduce the number of round-trips would narrow the difference.)

> I think you're thinking about the eyeball ISP side here

I was thinking about "company internal" networks, both their own internal networks but also the internal parts of their hosting setups.

In hosting, it's generally true that you need to handle v4-only clients... but that can be handled entirely at the edge by your load balancers or by NAT46, it doesn't force you to use v4 inside at all. You can use v6 inside, and it'll be easier and cheaper than v4 for the reasons I mentioned.

> we might well be stuck with a long tail of IPv4-only properties for the next decade or more

NAT64 can handle the long tail of v4-only websites for v6-only clients, so this is actually okay. It's not blocking deployment of v6 or undeployment of v4. The only real problem it causes is that people use it as an excuse to not do v6...
