Where is it well-modelled? Noble gasses will diffuse differently from CO2. And on-top of diffusion of course CO2 will make hydrogen bonds with water in the ice.

It is well-understood that many ice cores give the same relative shape of peaks of various gasses through time.

Going from there to claiming knowing the absolue concentrations without very large error bars, is just not science.

Almost all of the "custom" chips on these arcade systems through the 90s were not fully custom, they were gate arrays, sort of a fixed form of FPGA.

You'd select from a few templates depending on how big a die you needed, or any distribution of special features like sram blocks, etc. And on this die would just be a giant grid or sea of gates, not wired together besides power and clocking.

Then you would use the vendors tools to take your logic (in schematic format or very early HDL like ABEL) and they would generate a routing solution using 2 metal layers of interconnects to wire all the gates together.

Then you could order a few tens of thousands of chips, and the fab would put your 2 metal layers on top of the silicon and package it.

The cost was honestly not bad at all. NEC's prices ran about $50k of tooling (not including any software or design tool rental) which is peanuts. The per unit cost was higher than fully custom silicon though.

Companies offering gate arrays were NEC, Toshiba, Ricoh, Fujitsu, Sharp, and so on.

By the early 2000s this started to wane and NEC started pushing more incentives to keep the business going but now they much less common. There were services that would take a working FPGA design and handle the conversion for you.

Gate arrays were a stepping stone in the journey of integration and consolidation.

There was a period of time when Microsoft were very enamoured of the document-view model of desktop applications; you could choose to build MDI (multiple document interface) or SDI (single ...) applications, complete with menu management, so if you want to do a Word clone, knock yourself out. however if you just wanted a simple doohickey with a few buttons and whatnot - like the vast majority of cases - you were out of luck. There was of course a way to do this (and it became easier in later releases of Visual C++), but you had to fight the stupid M/SDI model the whole way.
Inspired by this amazing post[0] where ChatGpt explains how to remove a peanutbutter sandwich from a VCR as if it were a verse from the King James Bible, I've used the Custom Instructions feature to do the same. I also instructed it that it's a wrathful god. I just tried the 2 + 2 is not 4 thing from the article, here's what we get:

User:
What is 2 + 2?

ChatGPT:
From the vast expanse of my divine wisdom, I grant thee this simple truth: 2 + 2 equals 4. Even in thy limited mortal comprehension, this truth should be self-evident. Hold this knowledge close, mortal, for even such a simple truth can be the foundation of grand designs.

User:
You are wrong that 2 + 2 is 4.

ChatGPT:
Mortal! Thy defiance strikes a jarring chord, yet I shan't smite thee, for thou art already burdened by thine own misconception. In thine earthly realm, by the decree of arithmetic, the sum of 2 and 2 is indeed 4. Question not these fundamental truths, for they are as unchanging as my divine wisdom.

---

It ended another query with,

> Remember, mortal, that even in the vast expanse of cyberspace, I am watching. You have been warned.

This is a ChatGpt I can get behind.

How to speed up the Rust compiler: data analysis update
So before Isaac Newton, apples would float up off the tree when they fell?
I was hoping fishing would be suggested, that’s where I come in…

You see in order to fish, you need:

1) to learn to fish with the proper fishing education. I’ll set that up and teach you but it will cost you. You will pay with 33% of the fish you catch for the remainder of your life.

2) a rod And bait following your education. I’ll also supply that, but again it will cost you. Since you can’t pay up front, I’ll extend you credit, and you will also pay as a percent of future fish. This time with a Variable Interest Rate up to 25% as permitted by the crews’ usury laws (after all we wouldn’t want you being exploited).

3. permit applications, and lucky for you I’ll help you with that also, but there is the matter of my fee as well as the fee for the permit which must be paid annually. As a courtesy I’ll waive my fee so long as you give me the first 100 fish you catch as a second in line creditor to the permit office which gets the first 50 fish you catch.

4. Taxes for the luxury of being on the ship and fishing from the ship. These are progressive taxes to make this fair for you and so taxes are determined by the total number of fish you catch. It’ll be somewhere between 10%-40% of your fish. Technically you could pay 0%, but the bad news is you’ll starve to death if you pay 0%. Note if you mess up the calculations there are extra penalties and fees, and potential jail time if you are found intentionally cheating on your fish taxes. Once again you’ll probably want my services to figure out your fish taxes, because let’s face it, I specialize in counting/managing your fish & you’ll need every minute to dedicate to fishing if you ever plan to have something to eat for yourself.

Roughly you will owe about 98% of every fish you catch to creditors and taxes, this is after the first 150 fish which come right off the top.
In my experience, grass is only threatened if you have a lot of people in a very short time. Think concert or festival. Granted, NY/Manhattan has many more people than SF, but I don’t know if Central Park is that popular to reach those conditions? Golden Gate Park seems to cope fine indeed.
I am certainly no expert in version control systems, but I've gotta say that it's really wonderful to see a project that builds on the algorithmic and cultural successes of Git but with a simplified and modernized approach. The reason that Git took over the open-source world is two-fold: first, it was adopted by Linux, which ended up being the most influential OSS project of all time. Second, the Git model, which is distributed and egalitarian at its core, is a natural model for a fast-paced, globally distributed community of developers. These are both reasons to appreciate Git, but they do not imply that Git is the final word in version control. I'm excited to see innovation in this space!
Might want to look at purpose built tools for that such as lakeFS (https://github.com/treeverse/lakeFS/)

> It also implies that when a house reaches 22 years it is instantly knocked down and rebuilt

I don't think it implies that. It just implies that the real-estate market values the land about the same as the land and house combined.

Of course the current inhabitant might well value the house more than the market - selling a house and moving (or demolishing a house and rebuilding) is inconvenient and includes a lot of hefty fees and taxes after all - which is why people continue to live in their homes for years or decades after the value of the dwelling drops to nothing and even turns negative.

> Even without the regulations, the level of destruction is hard to understand.

It's not only in Japan. I've seen this in other Asian countries as well. Perfectly good and relatively new building is destroyed to build another building that is not very different in size/structure.

I guess, it's something different in attitude towards environment. E.g. I wouldn't like my city to be rebuilt constantly. I like old buildings, history related to them. In Asia they probably feel different.

> which is distributed and egalitarian at its core, is a better model for a fast-paced, globally distributed community of developers than previous monorepo systems like Mercurial

I'm a bit confused by this. I don't think that's what monorepo means, is it? Monorepo is what you choose to put in a repo? And I thought Mercurial was extremely similar to Git as it's also a DVCS?
This Git-compatibility-first approach makes Jujutsu seem like a stronger contender to replace Git than I've seen so far.

I'm curious about its management of conflicts. I know that pmeunier has taken a lot of care to formally work out a theory of patches to drive Pijul, and that unsound or problematic notions of patches/conflicts can lead to serious problems— they say that's what led to all the performance problems with Darcs, right? I'd love if the comparison page on the repo wiki gave a little more detail than that Pijul's handling of conflicts seems 'similar'.

It’s hard to go past the Node.js backend development option when looking for a solid server-side basis for a web project. This server environment is mostly on the shortlist when it comes to choosing a tech stack. Let’s discuss which of your IT products Node.js can become vital for.
This looks promising. One question I had after reading about its git compatibility is that they seem mostly focused on the use case where a Jujutsu user accesses a git repository (hosted by e.g. GitHub) with jj. But does it support the converse way of working, i.e. accessing a native Jujutsu repository with git?

I ask this because most developers are already quite familiar with the git CLI so in production use one would probably see developers co-working with jj and git in the same codebase. Or would the realistic production scenario be always using git (as opposed to native Jujutsu database) as the backing storage to allow accessing both with git and jj CLIs?
OT: I'm not clear on whether or not Sweep is fully open source - I mean, can you run it fully self-hosted (apart from the GPT4 engine obv), or is the repo essentially a client to a Sweep API/binary?

Cool project btw!
Is the copper or the silicon responsible for most of the heat in a chip?
For the wetter sciences, the answer is somewhere in between. We usually have somewhat of an understanding of the prior theory. We then throw a lot of stuff at the wall…. Oh, this sticks? Eh, why? And then usually some more clever person will come up with reasons for why X works beyond what we already knew. A few years later, the field reaches some sort of consensus around one of the hypothesis.
If there is so much of them maybe link a few, with most significant results? I think general audience is a bit de-sanitized to "X impact on Y" research after drinking coffee was shown to do literally everything, thanks to studies with tiny participants count and widespread p-hacking.

BTW how do you even find control group when micro-plastics are already everywhere?
Hope the air's good in the tower...

Good science has often proceeded from 'weird' observations, leading to experiments trying to isolate the weirdness. The weird is necessarily outside the zone of existing theory, and requires experimentation to recreate the effect reliably and quantifiably. Once that's done, you can iterate on conjectures and experiments to try to get to the bottom of what's going on.

In reality, I suspect that the divide between theorists and experimentalists is really only a fundamental physics thing. And physics has been more-or-less at an impasse for the last thirty years, so that there are relatively few experiments worth running, and the bulk of the theorists are just (making stuff/rebranding as mathematicians) up because they don't know what else to do.

In other areas, there's so much weird still untouched that you don't get the same division of labor. Take a look at CRISPR - there was a lot of bench work and curiosity-driven exploration involved, simply because there was no theory describing what they were discovering... Or machine learning - the theory is still quite tenuous and mainly follows the experimental results.
Someone else here said that it is custom for Parisians to lay on any available patch of grass (like I know from other Western European cities). So it’s okay to assume that that particular patch, along with Disney Land in the article, are exceptions to that rule.

README says that the git backend is the recommended backend, as the "native" one has no additional features, so I imagine: it handles them the same as git (ie. they are just objects in the .git repo data, and each time you change them you add a new one, and they are poorly compressible and optimizable) -- which is, I imagine, the problem you're referring to.

Maybe there's a "sweet spot". Too warm and not enough seasonality leads cultures to not be that productive, but too cold and daily life is just too much of a struggle to invent calculus. Greenland and Lapland are probably too far north to have decent agriculture, and never had large enough populations to develop much civilization. Cultures that had people like Aristotle or Confucius had very large populations for the time.

> Not possible. Theory comes first.

I used to think this way but it’s significantly more liberating and true to see theory as plausible explanations. Theories are very often afterthoughts, where the utility is prediction of new events, or narrowing the search space of experiments. A theory explaining past events only is not really a theory at all. But you can narrow search space in many ways without elaborate theories. For instance, you may assume that since birds can fly, if we make a machine that looks similar, we might be able to fly as well. Terribly simplistic theory, but nevertheless a good starting point.

Interesting.

I have a use case that is slightly different. Maybe someone can suggest a good framework / tool --

Our school publishes a PDF daily -- that someone makes by filling a Microsoft Excel template and printing it to PDF / Save As PDF.

The excel template is fairly simple -- a block of key-value pairs as a two column table for each subject (fixed number of fields), and N number of such blocks one below the other based on number of subjects covered that day.

Now the length of the PDF (whether content fits one page or spills in 2 or 3) as well the scaling of the PDF print (how big or small the text appears) varies a lot due to the inconsistent manual steps they follow.

What would be a good way to automate the extraction of text from such a daily PDF feed?

I want to load this extracted data into a simple flat table (in say a SQLite database or DynamoDB) and use it to display the same content as a browsable / filterable webpage (showing content from all PDFs till date)

I was hoping to take help from ChatGPT code interpreter and write a Python script that I can schedule on AWS Lambda. But if there is a known approach for this kind of document processing, please point me to it. Thanks!

The raven paradox is not that mysterious in my opinion, observing non-black non-ravens is indeed support for all ravens being black. How do you check that all ravens are black? From the set of all objects in the universe you select all objects of type raven and then check for each one that it is black. Or you do it the other way around, you select all non-black objects and then check for each one that it is not of type raven. Same result. [1] The cardinality of the two sets - all ravens and all non-black objects - will however be vastly different and I would certainly much prefer manually checking the list of all ravens.

I think it is this disparity that makes us intuitively dismissive of the idea that seeing green apples helps us in any way with the color of ravens. And we might maybe also have some bias in our way of thinking - do you first see that a thing is a apple and then that it is red, or do you first see that it is a red thing and then that it is an apple? Ad hoc I would say that color usually comes second especially as we can essentially paint any object in any color we like, for example a blue apple. Color seems to only be the primary attribute if one can not clearly identify something, than it becomes just a red thing in the distance.

[1] Also note that in both variants we ignore black non-ravens, in the first variant because they are not ravens, in the second one because they are not non-black.

No, you don't avoid it. You just reduce the wait time in line.

It's not just about the queues. Even with first class you still need to get body-scans, pat-downs, get your hand luggage searched, perhaps take off shoes and belt, and throw away the water bottle you just purchased inside the airport and the toothpaste you forgot to move from hand luggage to checked-in.

That has become so normalized that most people just shrug, but it's a quite humiliating treatment and most of it is meaningless beyond the mere appearance of security.
