No dependencies, you become the best, you become sovereign.

wikipedia:

Sovereign is a title that can be applied to the highest leader in various categories. The word is borrowed from Old French souverain, which is ultimately derived from the Latin superānus, meaning 'above'.

The roles of a sovereign vary from monarch, ruler or head of state to head of municipal government or head of a chivalric order. As a result, the word sovereignty has more recently also come to mean independence or autonomy.
The theory is the crystal structure induced by oxidation and vibration is responsible for the superconducting effect. They literally dropped and cracked the quartz ampoule by accident and produced the sample.

Its not enough to produce the material itself, it seems it is an emergent property of the structure and formation of the material similar to piezoelectric effect?

"75,000 years ago: Toba Volcano supereruption that may have contributed to human populations being lowered to about 15,000 people."

The key question is: How much CO2 did that super-eruption emit into the atmosphere?

In our hurry to attribute climate change to our meager impact on this planet, we tend to forget what horrors an eruption of this magnitude can cause. And who knows how many of them happened during the past millennia.

Now, that is a ridiculous take. By your definition, censorious people have to describe themselves as such? The rest of us use "censor" as a term to describe the action of others.

Jokes aside I think it's mostly a value/cost thing. NASA's software has different requirements and failure scenarios than most software developers (in this context I will not call them software engineers) have to care about. Verifiable correctness is harder to predict, and in most devs' roles it's easier to just try something and see what happens, rather than know what'll happen up front.
> I mean it's not even right. Most parallel/concurrent pedants would consider multithreaded code to be "parallel" even if it is running on a single core.

If you're using these as technical terms which have specific technical definitions, then concurrency and parallelism are distinct but related concepts, and parallel computing means executing code simultaneously on separate execution units, not time sliced on a single core. So yes I am actually right about this. Parallel computing is defined this way in CS and it's not a matter of opinion.

Not that crazy. Steel was the same at first.

Wild guess is that the dopant that creates wells doesn't always end up where it should. The paper that claimed superconductivity in layers of graphene at very particular angles also seems to be very sensitive. A similar one claimed graphene with alkanes was observed to superconduct. Perhapes whatever impure hydrocarbon they were using held the sheets at the perfect angle. All the quantum wells these things are claiming to rely on seem terribly difficult to arrange perfectly enough to work consistently. Assuming any of them ever did.

That only makes sense if you're willing to commit to it. "Leave areas alone and let nature do its thing" can't just mean "don't run deliberate tree-planting efforts with short-sighted planing". Actually leaving stuff alone and letting nature work would involve us retreating from the area, not developing the land, not spraying insecticides and herbicides, not introducing invasive species, not polluting the ground water, not putting extra particulates into the air, _certainly_ not continuing to pump carbon into the atmosphere.

So the "just" part of" just leave areas alone, is asking quite a lot. That's not to say it's wrong ... but it's more ambitious than e.g. net-zero goals. In some sense, it's exactly 2x as ambitious as E. O. Wilson's "Half-Earth" proposal.
You’d have to define “discrimination”. Instead of using a singular word which is prone to misinterpretation, you should use more words to ask the deeper question that you’re vaguely referencing.

Potential “Healthy Vaccinee Bias” in a Study of BNT162b2 Vaccine for Covid-19
It's true, but also takes way too long for the mission at hand. Trees already grow slowly, and squirrels/birds were going to eat a lot of the seeds which -- as we can see here -- is counter to incentive when there is a dearth of seed. This is not even to mention the ungulates, which will eat most of the young trees. Simply put, a managed plantation will produce better outcomes than "hands-off" rewilding or even a hybrid model. It is better still if the wildlife are managed or contained. Healthy forests have predators to provide pressure on herbivore populations; predators were often intentionally removed in many of the places we are now considering for afforestation.

But that said, theoretically: yes, absolutely, a tree planted as a seed by a squirrel, if it survived to old-age, will likely have grown faster and healthier than the equivalent nursery product tree, which would have endured lots of handling and some shocks at a young age.

If I were to guess at the type of innovation we might see in this space, I would say GMO trees that grow at enhanced speed is more in the vein of what might be deployed. If land were more readily available, like in boreal regions, then you might see some sort of innovation in the form of novel rewilding techniques, like you are suggesting.
Can you explain this? These is not at all a connection I would have made. And maybe more importantly why now? I would wager teen boys in this day and age are more wel travelled then 30 years ago.

> Perhaps we can design a new character system script specifically designed for ease of programming!

I think APL already did this.
Not especially relevant to the article, but reading it describing 150 baud tape systems made me think that people reading it might like to hear about my efforts at creating a turbo loader about a decade ago for the Amstrad CPC (a British machine from 1984).

It manages 2688 baud for uncompressed data using a proprietary encoding format, but actually it operates on a system that encodes a symbol larger than a byte (ranging from 0-276) in a constant time, and uses the extra 20 values to indicate the presence of RLE data which allow repeated data to be decompressed in real-time.

On the Amstrad CPC, each screen line is 63us, and the encoding relies on signals that nominally last 3 or 9 screen lines. There's a small code fragment that takes 20us which detects if a tape pulse has occurred and if so, it executes the code to decode the signal, otherwise the remaining time is used to block copy a few bytes if there are outstanding RLE instructions, or used to allow something else to run in the background, such as a music player, so it's effectively a co-operative multi-tasking OS in a tape loader!

I had plans to do more complicated effects, so as drawing sprites based just on coordinates, but sadly ran out of time before the demo was presented.

More technical detail is here: https://github.com/ralferoo/breaking-baud/blob/master/docs/t...

And there's a live video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D62jpqZ6TG4

The demo video doesn't show explain what it's doing, so the loading speed doesn't seem as impressive, but each time there's the wide green border bars, it's actually the boundary of a new 16KB block being read in, and each image builds on top of the previous screen. Similarly, the screen clear is an example of a 16KB RLE section.

A slightly older proof of concept video (WARNING - do not watch if you are sensitive to flashing flights!) that shows the speed more clearly is here with a sequence of random images is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfGcvWOaFFw - for comparison, these images are all 16KB and would normally take nearly 3 minutes each to load.
I'm reminded of the Vernor Vinge novel where a character hacking some fleet's automation hundreds of thousands of years in the future casually mentions that the tech stack is so old that the system time stamp is still the Unix Epoch

“And via a million million circuitous threads of inheritance, many of the oldest programs still ran in the bowels of the Qeng Ho system. Take the Traders’ method of timekeeping. The frame corrections were incredibly complex—and down at the very bottom of it was a little program that ran a counter. Second by second, the Qeng Ho counted from the instant that a human had first set foot on Old Earth’s moon. But if you looked at it still more closely…the starting instant was actually about fifteen million seconds later, the 0-second of one of Humankind’s first computer operating systems.”
Elk.zone looks cool and is definitely a nice face for Mastodon-- glad to know about it!

However, the disconnect between non-technical users and what Mastodon offers is far deeper than the timeline layout and interactions. If users must practically understand how to negotiate federation to satisfy their most basic requirement-- nearly effortlessly finding and interacting with their friends, family and other sources within the interface-- then it's a non-starter for that crowd.

Most developers seem not to realize a) how much more resistance dealing with the practical complexity of federation adds for non-technical users trying to do what they want to do, and b) how little resistance those users will tolerate to achieve their goals when they have free options. As it stands, the cost/benefit ratio to switching to Mastodon is not even in the ballpark of what it needs to be for nearly any social media user. Mastodon's huge active user base fluctuation 5-10 mos ago comprises about half a percent of Twitter's active monthly user base, which entirely leaves out Facebook, Instagram, Etc... and most of Mastodon's new ex-twitter users left.
Not only that, but varying production runs of the same model will vary dramatically... The model in EU, produced in Germany vs the US model (same number) produced in Mexico will vary dramatically. This isn't a promotion or knock on either country, only in that some facilities will do better/worse than others, source different parts from different suppliers and have varying results.

Beyond this, is the brand white labelling and the same or differing parts for varying lines of appliances from different brands even.

There are exceptions to every "rule," if you can even consider this a rule. When publishing to the App Store, the form says your app name must be between 2-255 characters, and it cannot match a name that already exists. So if you want to make an app listing called "Cloud," but that is taken, you may have to give it the name "Cloud — The Coolest Storage Solution" or something else.

However, if you have the trademark to an app name, you can contact Apple and they'll amend or delist the other app, and let you have it. This isn't even limited to Apple; I got a Twitter handle that was taken, but inactive, because I had the trademark.

Every single company will do this to cater to businesses, especially large businesses, because businesses often end up buying ads or onboarding lots of their employees or users onto the platform. That's just the nature of the game. Apple's App Store is certainly full of flaws, but making exceptions for large players is not unique to Apple or any platform.

Samsung appliances are really bad in terms of reliability it seems. Every single dishwasher they make is seemingly designed to have a certain "dirty water" sensor replaced every couple of years.

But he doesn't care because he thinks they are really quiet (so what) and he often gets them cheap and "it's a cheap part and an easy fix" (for you it is)

Trees have a big impact on local climate. The carbon sequestering part might be futile (but forests play other roles in climate change, like promoting cloud cover which is good for cooling), but reforesting is worth doing for a million reasons- plus everyone likes trees.

While I'm glad it worked out for you, it's also kinda dystopian to read how you had to work to keep your family under a roof in a time you probably should focus on healing. You shouldn't have had to do that at all, and in that sense I think some of these gig companies also prey on the needy.
It's an interesting comparison nonetheless. Culture is at its most fascinating when you see the overlaps between traditions, and consider why they might exist.

I was reading about Kripke's modal logics for applications in LLM's, so I will agree that my study of them wasn't part of the indoctrination they seem to be used for in cultural studies programs. I had first encountered him in the syllabus of some cultural studies programs where modal logics were used as the formal basis and justification for the a-logical aspects of some feminist critiques in the 90s.

Saying that a subset of post marxist theories are not marxist theories seems pretty standard motte and bailey. I'd refer you to James Lindsay's descriptions of how these critical theories fit together into the miasma of nonsense that is being taught to kids today, as he's done deeper work on the subject. My interest is in synthesizing it, because since it is just internaly consistent and so divorced from reality, there are likely infinite versions of it that could serve as an antidote to the pernicious indoctrination "educators," are subjecting children to.

My politics are unambiguous, they are anti-Marxist, as it is not sufficent to be neutral to it's variants, and one has to actively confront it when it pretends to be anything other than a system of deception.

To illustrate the difference, the Ahlener Programm, the first political program of Germany's conservative party (CDU) after the war in 1947, originally stated:

> The capitalist economic system has not done justice to the national and social vital interests of the German people. After the terrible political, economic and social collapse as a result of criminal power politics, only a fundamental reorganization can take place.

> Content and goal of this social and economic reorganization can no longer be the capitalist striving for profit and power, but only the well-being of our people. Through a public economic order, the German people should receive an economic and social constitution that corresponds to the rights and dignity of human beings, serves the spiritual and material development of our people and ensures internal and external peace.

This was dubbed "Christian Socialism", and, under the influence of Adenauer, the program soon inched somewhat to the center towards a concept now known as "social market economy", a term, which had also been in use by (some) social-democrats. Conceptionally, it's deemed different from ordoliberalism as it is more process-oriented and pragmatic. (We may also see how someone who is leaning marginally towards anarcho-capitalism like, say, Elon Musk, must be perceived as entirely misaligned.)

> So, 12%. Got it.

It's 50% more compared to that number. And for last 5 years it was only going up, it's not one successful year. So it's not 12%. Got it? I don't know of anyone talking about margins and talking about 20 years average, they had 0% in 2001, it's counted in that ~20 years, don't you see how stupid this is to include that into discussion? profit margins from 20 years ago.

Labor and material are the lowest costs on bags, highest is marketing. Why I need to pay more to workers if I can build new corporate HQ? When I can pay for bonuses of people at the top? or get ~20% profit. I have 50% of the company profits anyway and I make all the decisions[1]. You want me to tell that he (Bernard Arnault) can't pay people that make these bags more because he don't have money? come on, this is such a naive view.
