Given the ingredients have known semiconducting properties one would think they'd run it through the wringer to expel any doubts as to its superconducting properties. 2DEGs and such at room temp are common, GaN transistors do it and they have well known temperature dependent resistance characteristics.

The semiconductor characterization people at any fab could really get to the bottom of this.
Why is this important?

There's irony in watching an organization with "not bombs" in the title. But that would also be the perfect cover, so who knows?

and i'm still wondering which of these things i can't do in a python repl? note macroexpansion doesn't count because that's not a dimension of the repl.

There are a lot of banks, and jumping ships and reopening my account elsewhere is always a choice.
The reaction to these things is more situational than principled; everybody wants their own stuff to work and who cares about the others. Cinephiles collect DRMed Blu-rays while people who don't own a TV complain about the "bag of hurt". Creators support copyright while pirates want to leave loopholes open. Windows gamers embrace anti-cheat while Linux hackers deride it as a rootkit.
Using a term coined by RMS they're not users, they're useds.
Slightly more pessimistic than I was expecting given the amount of hype this has generated. Though I guess for something this groundbreaking a 25% chance that it's real is pretty newsworthy.

>you've never programmed a lisp but have strong opinions nonetheless

i've written racket and clojure (and mathematica, which is a lisp). not multiple 10kloc but enough to understand what the big ideas are. claiming i just haven't written enough lisp is basically the logical fallacy of assuming the premise.
“The key point we keep coming back to with this work is that, if we do add a new kind of window management to GNOME, it needs to be good enough to be the default. We don’t want to add yet another manual opt-in tool that doesn’t solve the problems the majority of people face.”

This is the essence of what makes gnome user-hostile: everyone has to fit their mold.
I mean 10-15 years ago we had developers that copied their JAR from their system to prod through the network share.
I don't trust these groups to act in my best interest. If AI is as powerful as they say it is, it needs to be controlled by groups whose stakeholders are not capitalist corporations.

This is a terrible idea for the future of AI.

When Spotify raised prices, I evaluated other services. I found that YT music was a thing and at the time I was listening to more music on YT (mostly covers) than Spotify. Kids get baby shark without ads. So it was an easy decision.

YouTube has a family plan, which was a bit pricier than the Spotify. But that family plan also means I could share my Google One (i.e. cloud space). Easy decision too.

The services they give scale with price. Unlike Netflix, which has removed my favorite shows and are now trying to get rid of family sharing.
But I had access to Google Maps not from my childhood, but from about the age of 16/17. I was like this even before that.
Can you elaborate on what the agenda is?
> Minimally, the services should have to produce an original image/video when surfacing information that will be used for legal action

Even better would be an image that is cryptographically signed by the sensor that captured it.
I have friends (Asian) that wont put their kids on some of the mostly asian schools in the Bay Area, even though they are top schools, as the competition is too much and they don't want to raise unhappy kids.

Basically, over-emphasis at academics at any costs in the first/second gen asians (either Chinese or Korean), raises unhappy kids (this was by two of my asian friends).

My guess, rich white parents might view it the same, and they want to have a more free form/wholesome type of environment for their kids.

Take it as you will...
(Ps. I am not american and I don't have kids, so I don't have a horse in this race, pun intended)
New UI and VSC envy are good, it's already better than the old point-and-click adventure game UI they had.

For the curious, there's a hierarchy defined by the USB-C cable spec.

Table 4-17 Precedence of power source usage
https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/USB%20Type-C%20Spec%...

- Baseline: it behaves like a USB cable from 1996. Sync gets 100mA@5V (USB2) or 150mA@5V (USB3), and then as part of USB enumeration you can get up to 500mA@5V (USB2) or 900/1500mA@5V (USB3 single/dual lane) depending on what happens during USB enumeration.

Then, in priority order:

- USB PD: If both sides negotiate a USB PD contract, that overrides baseline, and you get up to 5A@20V (or more now with the new EPR stuff)

- USB Type-C current: The source drives a voltage on USB-C CC (pin only in USB-C cables) to say if it can give 1.5A@5V or 3A@5V, the sync pulls CC to say if it wants it (what the author is talking about here). If both sides have the right signaling, the source gives the current requested to the sync.

- USB BC 1.2: Intended for charging bricks; brick shorts the USB2 D+/D- together to signal device it gets up to 1.5A@5V. Or 2.4A@5V if you use Apple's extension (see, every iPad brick back in the day)

So, wonder if the USB-C to USB-A case in the article is just working because it's hooking up to a USB BC brick with that USB-C to USB-A cable, and the remote needs more than 100mA to charge and only supports the USB BC case?

Note only baseline is required to be compliant with the spec; there's no rule that the device has to use any of the other features.

Welcome to USB :)
The fact that these were published in 2018, implying before then it was never really studied, is sort of crazy.

The cost of biannual dentist visits for life is huge across the entire population. I would have thought there was strong evidence for this a long time ago. If nothing else, I would have thought insurance companies would stop paying for the bi-annual visits if there wasn't good evidence it works.

Then again, maybe I'm giving insurance companies to much credit since they've been paying for acupuncture for decades.
If 2 things are valued the same and one of them is known to be less useful than the other (but you can’t tell those 2 things apart), how much do you think those 2 things are valued?

If companies can’t tell the difference, they’ll just ignore them both.
Maybe, but my point is that it does seem to be possible to generate electricity directly from nuclear reactions, without going through a thermal cycle (making heat, creating steam, using that to turn a turbine). I think there's some other experimental process that promises to do this with fission.
This would still work if they also write down the time. Or take a photo.
It's true when the moving in/out is done in significant enough numbers to find a correlation.
Maybe they should have picked historical names that no one uses any more, like Hieronymus.
>Let's forget cloth bags for a moment. Using a bag once instead of twice but still getting the same job done means you're reducing instead of reusing. That's not a bad thing by itself. It's only bad if your other costs are causing problems.

You can't forget the cloth bag but then still count its use.
I'm guessing around 800: 3 devs for the OS core, the rest for the adware and spyware.

Change like this happens at the margins. Families already moving will choose one district over another due to factors; people faced with the possibility of moving (job offer) will take it or decline due to factors. Over time, these effects accumulate into something statistically observable. The caricature of people immediately putting their house on the market when a new neighbor arrives need not ever actually occur.
> which means when you build the container, you get whatever version of foobar happens to currently be in the repository that your base image points to.

Well no, the layer won't be rebuilt if you already have it from yesterday or last week and that + previous lines in the Dockerfile didn't change. So yours would still be using the old version, but someone new to the project would get the most up-to-date version. Have to remember to skip the cache to get the most recent version.
People publish blog posts for several reasons. Many see it as a fun, social activity.
I’m disappointed by this response. I have to know, will they implement it or not? Because I will not use a browser that implements this thing.
> that's clearly 95

I wouldn't say that's very clear. There were still lots of refinements and redesign that happened as Windows started becoming more of a multi-user OS with NT and later XP. Just because there was a classic skin in 7 doesn't mean it was the same UX. Even with the "classic" skin there's pretty massive changes in the behavior and usability of most of the UI.

Maybe you find 95 to be the end-all be-all of design, but many don't. UI, and to an extent UX, is partially subjective and then also very different based on the user. Imagine a user who has only used an iPad gets dropped in front of a Windows 95 machine, would they consider it the peak of OS UI/UX design?

And as the product's target market evolves and changes so too should the software for what customers expect. Which brings me to...

> Software is a tool, a means to an end. It doesn't need to participate in fashion.

One could make the same argument of a bed or a couch or hell even a whole house. A house is just a tool, something to keep the environment consistent and shelter from the elements. A couch is just a tool to support a sitting human being.
It doesn't need to participate in fashion. And yet people are pretty dang picky about their furniture choices and paint comes in thousands of colors.

Any piece software competes in a market of software. Say there's two pieces of software with identical feature sets. One looks like an ancient Java Swing UI and has bad colors and overall just looks ugly, meanwhile the other looks nice and pleasing (insert your own ideas of "nice and pleasing" here). One is probably going to hemorrhage users over time, can you imagine which?
string length is a poorly defined concept, but yes, counting real characters (grapheme clusters) counts

And what "various things" do you mean that are on top the char split?
A direct link to the pdf: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w31434/w314...

"the enrollment of one Asian student leads to 1.5 white departures on average"

"Another simple explanation for white flight could be a direct distaste for interacting with Asian peers. However, this account is not consistent with the fact that white flight is only observed in high-SES school districts, given that high-income and more-educated respondents are less likely (rather than more likely) to express negative attitudes toward Asian Americans on surveys."

They claim to "rule out" "direct racial animus", but they don't really back that up with anything. They don't even cite anything supporting their survey claim, they just throw out that comment. But maybe high-SES white people have just learned not to express "negative" attitudes towards racial groups on surveys?
Since Asians on average are both wealthier and earn more than average Caucasian families isn’t using the term
“White flight” a bit incorrect due to its connotations?

Wouldn’t the better term be “Asian gentrification of lower income white communities?”

I’m half joking here and half serious. In reality I see what the paper is saying and I tend to agree. It’s hard to say there is a “white” culture but at the upper end the is a shared sort of blue blood set of values that this paper addresses. Those values strongly lean into diverse and well rounded child rearing and wholistic development. The likely hood that Asian families create academic focused game theory problems by beating out students who focus on more wholistic education feels believable. However ultimately those values i think disappear by the second generation.

On the whole I think this paper is trying to point out that white upper class culture finds Asian cultural definitions of success mildly offensive, and to protect their ways move out.

I’m the product of white and Chinese heritage and this feels true to me.

Lack of using a plastic bag does not mean you're using a cloth bag.
If you increase services then increase prices, users are often fine with it. What sucks is when something gradually reduces services, then cuts headcount, then asks for more money. That's when everyone finds alternatives.
Will the first replication confirm room-temperature superconductivity in LK-99?
That's by design given how many ads for scams and malware Google serves.
In TFA, go to the “Try this in your favorite repl”, try that in your “repl” and that would be the fine distinction you’re missing.
I don't darn socks, I just sew the hole shut when one starts to form. You value your time? The next time you sit down to watch a TV show, pull out your travel sewing kit and the sock and sew as you watch. You'll be done way before the end of the episode, and you'll have gained value, not lost it.
I agree. I think there is a potential commentary about the bifurcation of America—I think it is getting harder to be poor, but the Greyhound just isn’t the transportation for the working class like it used to be. Most everyone flies any trip that is of sufficient length.

The Greyhound, motels, etc are all dying. There just isn’t as much need for them anymore and there are alternatives. As the author said, she found a much nicer hotel for even cheaper.
Probably the same thing you tell people who used to work in buggy whip factories. I know it’s trite but, really, there’s no constant but change.
Not OP. But I would propose that the agenda is to add more fuel to the race struggle prompted by academia that needs an "evil" oppressor.

This description is very consistent with some comments from parents that I encountered in the peninsula, when I lived there a decade ago. Avoiding heavily east Asian areas would be a factor I'd expect them to make in deciding on school district. Some cafes around Santa Clara were shockingly filled to the brim with Chinese or Korean high schoolers doing schoolwork -- it was an absolutely disturbing sight. I wouldn't call it fear of competition so much as a desire to have kids grow up in a good culture.
Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia have similar systems. All instant and free. Malaysia system actually works in Thailand and Singapore and has super competitive exchange rates.

My go-to test is "elephant riding unicycle". Neither Midjourney nor Stable Diffusion XL is capable of doing this.
Plenty of environmentalism is just for future projects. Canada is willing to derail all sorts of new projects over pollution concerns, but it wasn't until 2020 that we stopped a pulp mill from just dumping their waste in a estuary and they thought that the government wasn't serious, so they didn't take meaningful action.
Sounds a lot like a protection racket ...
Risk of Myocarditis After Sequential Doses of Covid Vaccine and CoV-2 Infection
I got some great advice when I first started coding / CS classes. "Skip Eclipse, use Dr. Java. Skip the intellisense and autocomplete at first so you can really learn". I've kept that mindset for all of my coursework and career. It has probably been the most impactful thing for my career. These AI assistants are the antithesis of this idea. Learn your tools and your codebase deeply, the easy things will be so easy you won't need the AI, the impossible things the AI could never do will be possible.
Honestly sounds like a group of people who got paid money to spread speculative racist theories. They in no way established the argument they were proposing, they just eliminated other arguments and just speculated as to what the explanation could be. In this case white jealousy of Asians.

This all being said, if we see a huge surge in white flight after the end of affirmative action I guess I'll have to eat crow. If their theory is correct and facts > my feelings that's exactly what we will see. If their theory is just racist bunkum we'll see no such thing.
I'm asking if alien craft are a safer method of transport than air liners. Alternatively, if we replaced air liners with these craft, would fewer people die? If they are safer then the sky should be flooded with them to result in 12 crashes so far. This doesn't seem to be the case so there must instead be a smaller number of more dangerous craft to result in 12 crashes. So either the sky is flooded with invisible alien craft or their craft are a more dangerous method of travel than our air liners.
Yes, kids spending their after school time doing homework and maxing test scores instead of having a childhood is disturbing.
It's just an excuse.
Ok, I've merged them in that way. Thanks!
>The answer to that question is the differentiating point of repl-driven programming. In an old-fashioned Lisp or Smalltalk environment, the break in foo drops you into a breakloop.

”How can you reconcile cheap food being unavailable food? Doesn't make any sense"

I've given a brief explanation twice already. If it doesn't even make sense to you then, honestly, don't know what to say further.

As to the famine point, lets try google... The first result is as follows, from Wikipedia: ”The abandonment of homesteads and financial ruin resulting from catastrophic topsoil loss led to widespread hunger and poverty". You clearly disagree that it qualifies as famine.

This isn't a formal historical discussion, and Im not a historian. The fact of widespread hunger and poverty isn't in dispute by any reputable historian and I'm honestly not interested in debating minutia.
I really didn’t see it, but I have a friend (mixed white/Chinese family) who did the same: took his kids out of very well regarded white/Asian schools because he thought the students and teachers were too aggressive in academics. They are still in accelerated classes (in private schools), just with more diversity and less focus on one way to succeed.
How can you possibly think that?
I know one prominent TLA (nominally banned from domestic surveillance) that had a contract with a data broker 25 years ago. Third party doctrine lets them ignore 4A protection.

what do you mean it's not tension at the top? did you misspeak? bicycle spokes are solely under tensile forces. they can't support compressive forces at all. i'm a hobbyist wheel builder and a once upon a time professional bicycle mechanic during hs & college.

if you want to test this take nearly all the pretension out of your spokes and sit on your bike. feel which ones are taught and which ones are completely loose. or just go to walmart. those bikes hardly have any pretension in their wheels.
I needed to get from Portland to Eugene. In Oregon, there's a bus service that's paid with some state funding that goes from train station parking lot to train station parking lot. I wanted to use the restroom at Union Station in Portland and the security guard required me to show him that I had a valid ticket to stay in the building.

So it was kind of like what you are suggesting.
The critical temperature is not 127 C. They did not actually measure the critical temperature. They just said it's at least 400 K (~127 C), probably because that was the maximum temperature the equipment they used could measure.
If there’s a school that can enroll one thousand students and you enroll fifty additional Asian students they will displace other fifty other students. If the majority is white it seems to reason that the majority of those displaced will be white.

Also one would have to considered the policy around admissions regarding things like affirmative action and equity.
As is his prerogative.

To clarify further, no cannabis seller can accept debit cards as a payment method. Instead they can certify their machines as mobile ATM providers that just happen to let you withdraw an amount of cash that just happens to be approximately the same amount of money you might happen to want to pay to the person holding the mobile ATM terminal plus a modest tip. (Yes, really, this is how the industry functions).
Those who are serious believe that they'll get power over others if they please their cruel deity. Those who arent serious fall victims of their vices. Lust brings them to sex clubs where they can do things generally unacceptable. Less common is desire for secret knowledge to get an edge over others. Such is the threefold division of satanism: selfish ambition for the strong willed, desire of occult knowledge for the smart ones, and unhinged sexuality for the rest. Your example with a Nazi SS officer shows how one man can combine all three vices. On the outside, such a sect usually appears as a criminal org, with an unusual initiation rite, like yakuzas or some mexican drug cartels. Wars enable these sects to "upgrade" to something like unit 731.
Children and their parents exercising their freedom to do whatever they want is disturbing to you? Because some predetermined definition of “having a childhood” is not being met? I’m not arguing that this is the best use of their time, but neither is anything else within bounds of normal decorum.
Nonsense. This debunking will be debunked in due time once the party line shifts and the narrative will need to be updated. I am old enough to have witnessed these wild gyrations in real time.

According to you no links that deviate from the narrative carry any weight, but they were very on point, providing a bit of historical perspective and suggesting that ignoring these sensational headlines and cries about imminent death would be quite prudent. Greta had to remove her twit recently warning that humanity would die by 2023, quietly memory holing the message that used to be plastered all over the media. Irrelevant? How dare you!
