- Step 1: Prepare lanarkite, Pb2SO5, by mixing PbO and PbSO4 powders in a 1:1 molar ratio in an agate mortar with a pestle. Transfer the mixture to an alumina crucible and react it at 725 °C for 24 hours in a furnace. Pulverize the white product with the mortar.

- Step 2: Prepare copper phosphide, Cu3P, by mixing Cu and P powders in a 3:1 molar ratio. Transfer the mixture to a quartz tube and seal it under a vacuum of 10-5 Torr. React it at 550 °C for 48 hours in a furnace. Take out the dark gray ingot and pulverize it.

- Step 3: Mix lanarkite and copper phosphide powders in a 1:1 molar ratio in an agate mortar with a pestle. Transfer the mixture to a reaction tube and seal it under a vacuum of 10-5 Torr. React it at 925 °C for 10 hours in a furnace. Take out the dark gray ingot and shape it into thin cuboids for electrical measurements. Pulverize some of the ingot for other analyses.

These are the steps to synthesize the LK-99 material.

Reminds me of woodworking: 60% of a project is building cutting jigs, 30% is for cutting, 10% is for gluing and fixing the parts together.
Does this circular logic for front running actually convince anyone? I already answered your question in the post you replied to.
This works well. I would suggest acquiring a triangle file and a blade file. You can fix cut thread ends easy and even some cross threaded sections.

You don't always have nuts to go on threads items. E.g. when a rod is threading into a block.
We are doing cross-compilation, and all the targets can be built on x86_64 or aarch64 servers or laptops/desktops; in the CI, we are using x86_64 machines in AWS.
So is the phenomenon it describes so I think it's a perfect fit.
Questionable advice. Especially on paying off debt and saving money in a bank. And no mention of tax deferred accounts or index funds.
Can you? The proposed model implies this relies on non-periodic impurities to achieve superconductivity, and the displayed strength is consistent with superconductivity only appearing on some places spread inside the material. This seems qualitatively different from YBCO.

I don't know enough to be sure on the certainty of that model, but it seems well supported. So I'd be surprised if only improving the material quality was enough to make it strong.
Flutter Desktop compatibility is getting worse?
Lately I received more and more bug report in my repo about

glGetString(GL_VERSION) failed`

on all platforms.

Also, new Flutter desktop can not work on mac vm totally. https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/108304

This embarassed me so much, because we spent almost one year to migrate from an old sdk to Flutter. Now we have to maintain both the old sdk and Flutter together because Flutter's poor compatibility.
thanks for this. I didn't understand what this changed until I read your comment.
I’ve never found a use for crypto. But I have found dozens of uses for LLM and SD AI that materially improve my life and productivity directly and appreciably. I also have applied uses of generative techniques in highly dimensional time series optimization that’s very promising. I’ve never found a use for crypto.

Yes, I was really arguing that. Thank you for correcting me. My incorrect belief was based on too myopic a view (I’m in the Ninth Circuit’s jurisdiction and forget sometimes that the rest of the country exists) and too broad an assertion (that all speech related to teaching is protected).

The case you pointed to was about speech “that criticizes policies and decisions of university administrations” and grants relief for that set of circumstances. That wasn’t the case here. I’m sure you can cite to this, but is there a holding where the case was simply about the subject matter and not criticism of administration policy?
Mostly classical music. Nothing in particular, I'll usually look up spotify-curated playlists like "Baroque classics" or "French Composers" etc.

Music with singing is too distracting when I'm working, and so is music that I'm overly attached to or get excited by - for instance jazz.

Spotify has a ton of ambient playlists too. I feel like ambient tracks strike a good balance for me when working.
Aye, for example - how /etc/hosts and precedence plays out.

With glibc this normally falls to nsswitch. Sadly I can't remember much about musl - I'm too tired and I've been focused elsewhere lately.

It's notably different in terms of preferred order between files/DNS, also with 'conflicting' repeats (aka lazy round robin).

Beyond that, my point is more about awareness. The developers involved were not aware of what you've provided... or what's not mentioned
>If humans want to get paid, then they are greedy? But if a corporation is greedy it is good? Why the dichotomy?

Both are greedy, and people in both sectors will happily convince the population to institute anti-free-market laws that give themselves a monopoly if we let them. That's what we let the unions do, when we passed laws making it illegal for employers refuse to employ unionized workers, or to negotiate with anyone outside of one once one emerges in their workforce and demands collective bargaining.

>I meant the free market created unions, by forcing humans to group together for self preservation.

Wages were rising at a rapid rate in the late 1800s, before unionization rates became significant, so no, the evidence clearly debunks your claim that the free market was harming workers. Unions were formed out of greed.

>Anecdotally, I have worked in Union plants, and Non-Union. I've seen union plant employees being very engaged and driving efficiency, and I've seen non-union (hence supposedly free and more incentivized by pay) beat down, insolent and checked out.

Anecdotally, I always hear the exact opposite from people who've experienced working in both environments.

>I guess you would be ok with something like the Government making a law to force MS Xbox and Sony PlayStation to have open protocols so games could be played across platforms?

Government does not have a right to use the threat of violence to compel people who are not defrauding or assaulting anyone to act a certain way, so no I would absolutely not be okay with it.

As I keep saying, I totally oppose regulations that violate the right of consenting adults to engage in mutually voluntary interactions. Offering a game system using a particular protocol is a mutually voluntary interaction and there can be no justification for prohibiting it.

I would support the government funding an open game system standard that various manufacturers would then choose to voluntarily adopt because of the technical superiority of that standard, or even purchases by the government from manufacturers adhering to it.
Don't most softmax implementations include an epsilon in the denominator which likely serves the same purpose? So the suggestion is to set that epsilon to 1?
At both extreme opposite ends of the scale/funding/people spectrum we already have TempleOS and Fuscia, and probably countless in between. You tell me why they aren't going anywhere even though any properties you might say about one, the other has the opposite quality and is also going nowhere.

Maybe "unix-like" is really just a principle that has no expiration date, like "murder is wrong".

Depending on how slavishly you define "unix-like", for instance, I would not say that the principle philosophy dictates there shall always be a command named "rm" that takes these options and does this task a la posix specs.

But for today and certainly any forseeable time, it's perfectly useful to "merely" reimplement posix.

oh wow, great recommendation. I can get tired of electronic music sometimes and good instrumental rock/post rock stuff can work great. I've listened to a lot of Tycho in the past as an example.
In the Activision case, the FTC ignored the fact that cloud gaming is a very small market and that the high-end console market is dominated by PlayStation, and filed an injunction to prevent the acquisition on the grounds that "large-scale acquisitions by large companies are not good." As a result, it was natural that they lost the lawsuit.

In the case of the FTC's proposal to split Amazon, the FTC has been collecting evidence to support its claims for the past three years, even before Lina Khan took office as the chair. In addition, Amazon has actually pressured third-party retailers by using its dominant position in online shopping. Therefore, I think the claim is more likely to be upheld than in the Activision case.
I assumed this would be a guide to understanding other people's emotional states based on the codes they were expressing (facial expressions, body posture, tone of voice, and so on). Non-verbal (unconscious?) communication seems to be an important feature of human emotional expression. People who never express any emotions at all tend to cause a certain degree of uneasiness in other people, although this is also characteristic of autism - and part of the treatment protocol for autism, I believe, is helping the subject learn how to express their emotional state to others, in a non-intrusive and situationally-appropriate manner.

Geek/nerd-wise, the first thing that comes to mind is, what is an emotion? How does it differ from an animal instinct, or from a conscious thought expressed as a symbolic string? Consider, for example, the rather unpleasant emotionally manipulative human type, who first thinks "What emotion should I express now to get what I want" and then deliberately engages in that emotion to trigger a desired response in others. (Young children often have to be gently advised that this is not going to work, some are not taught this and so persist in this behavior as adults). Where does instinct become emotion become thought?

Another interesting human behavioral type is the emotional button-pusher, who tries to elicit strong emotions in others, for their own usually unpleasant purposes. The best defense against this dark art is probably meditation, which in part involves learning how to recognize an emotional state at the moment it arises, before one takes any action on it.

At the very least, a wise human recognizes that actions are best taken with at least a modicum of rational input, and should never be wholly emotional in nature. And sometimes, having a little cooling off period is the best option of all (particularly with strong emotions). On the other hand, the saying "trust your instincts" should not be disregarded.
CRT gaming is fun, both for older console and PC gaming, and even modern games to a degree. The colors are richer than cheap LCDs, the scanlines and/or smoothing act as a beauty filter over visuals, and the strobed image produces unmatched motion clarity (outside of modern gaming monitors with backlight/OLED strobing modes) though it can get uncomfortable for 60fps games (or god forbid 50fps PAL). I've written about it at my blog, at https://nyanpasu64.gitlab.io/blog/crt-appearance-tv-monitor/.

> does that if/else clause indicate "intelligence" that's been programmed in

Yes, systems built with if/else rules are intelligent, in that they reproduce some heuristic rule that someone had to think about. I think the term "expert system" is kind of appropriate for them

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_system

Of course they are not too intelligent, but, they are more intelligent than a rock, say. (unless this rock happen to be a chip running some neural network)

One interesting thing about the stock market is that it’s entirely possible to be successful in it, attributing that success to strategy X, yet to be completely wrong about that.

It’s actually not limited to the stock market – there’s tons of professionals out there that are completely unaware of why what they do works. This makes many people nervous, and they try to come up with a rationalization or mental model for it, and sometimes they get it completely wrong.

Not at the moment. IMO the prospects aren't good, due to the low efficiency (high energy cost) and high equipment cost. There are start-ups working on it (ex: Prometheus Fuels [0], Twelve [1], Synhelion [2], honorable mention to Terraform Industries [3] which is targeting methane).

Everything that can be electrified, will be electrified, because it's more efficient. It seems like shipping & aviation are probably the hold-outs.

I used to think this was the way, especially for balancing the grid, but the more I read [4-7], the more it looks like batteries will be used for fluctuations <1 day, and demand adaptation for longer periods. Some of that adaptive demand may wind up being used for hydrocarbon synthesis, but I don't expect it to compete with fossil fuels for a long time, if ever.

The killer app is ChatGPT. I'm not sure what you're expecting here, but it's been enormously useful while trying out new languages. For example, even if it's not 100% right, it has been a great help while working with nix, as I'm often ignorant to entire methods of solving a problem, and it's pretty good at suggesting the right method.

It's also super useful for things like "convert this fish shell snippet to bash" or "rewrite this Python class as a single function". It tends to really nail these sorts of grounded questions, and it legitimately saves me time.

Have you tried Fedora Silverblue[1] and its cousins? `root` is an immutable image powered by something akin to `git` but for OS files. You can layer RPMs (although you should use flatpak or containers wherever possible) and /etc is mutable but also tied to the deployed image[2]. You can rollback your system to previous images, rebase it to a completely different system (i.e from `silverblue/gnome` to `kinoite/plasma`) or build your own OS image for deployment instead.

It is a different desktop paradigm for sure (for one, you won't be using a standard package manager) and you do feel its rough edges sometimes, but it is my favorite Linux experience so far, where the OS doesn't stay on my way unless I want it to be in the way: I turn my PC on, use it as usual, desktop apps are updated on background with GNOME Software/flatpak and if there is a new image available, as soon as I reboot/shutdown, next time it is up, everything has been cleanly applied. Flatpak'd apps also won't spread files across the system, so everything is as self-contained as it can be.

I have trouble seeing Khan's continuation at the FTC as anything but an olive branch to Big Tech. Activision is a recent failure.

I haven't seen any reversible low power superconducting gate that can credibly operate at a high temperature - not because of the superconductor itself, but because of thermal noise. Again, I haven't read through the literature in this field for a while (and it wasn't that extensive either), but from what I recall what you're proposing is roughly as difficult as making a gate for a quantum computer, and you have to keep your system way colder than your critical temperature from that due to thermal noise. If you have any links for high temperature physically reversible logic gates I'm all ears.

Thanks, that's useful! However that's one main issue with this tool, it's really oriented towards the UI itself. You're bounded by your mouse (or worse, touchpad) resolution to place the center and often in addition to wasting a lot of time, it's inaccurate. The convenient approach would be to place an approximate circle, then edit the center and radius and enter values by hand.

I find it pretty convincing myself.

Are there other “bad” (for the general investing public) strategies out there? Sure! Should some of them be illegal, or be made unprofitable by coming up with fairer (for long-term investors) markets and market structures? Definitely!

But that doesn’t make them the same thing as front running. Why call “bad strategy/phenomenon X” “Y” and confuse everybody?
protobuf has a serialized file limit of 2gb? or like a definition file? I haven't touched PB in ages and certainly not something that would be transmitting that much in a single message.

is your complaint that the whole context/weights needs to be sent through the whole file?

I'm asking from a position of ignorance, I'm surpised to see a serialized transport of that size, and wondering why it's specifically limited at 2gb. like to be able to mmap on 32-bit hardware?
Good you don’t have “survey” in your company name. It could definitely be worth rebranding in the future.

To me, this looks like a useful tool for exploring user behavior and sentiment, but ultimately different from a survey. Instead, it’s more like having an expert in multiple demographics around.

Now, people can be disappointed from both angles: people who (rightfully) point out that the results can be quite wrong, and on the other side of the spectrum you have people who would think it’s limited to whatever a survey can do. It seems like your product could be not just faster but more capable than a survey, in some cases. For instance, perhaps you could predict “reasons” or narratives for why results turn out certain ways.
Thank you, I'll try that. It's all but intuitive to have to touch bbox preferences just to edit the center of an object :-/

Only if companies have enough cash to do so. Buybacks made sense more sense in a low interest rate environment, but are riskier if they have to borrow to buy their stock back.

But again, is this amount as much as the amount that is to be sold, and at what price?
