The “reality” of any QM interpretation should be taken with a grain of salt and not too seriously. There is some debate, but yet what you’re proposing goes considerably too far. The dual nature is more or less real, you can’t distill it into one exact thing.

QED describes the behavior of electrons very well. Interpretations are projected from equations but what a thing “actually” is only comes from the models.

It can be hard to let go of wanting to come up with an intuitively satisfying explanation but there is not one. Your brain evolved in s world where experiences are classical not quantum. Unless you spend a ton of time interacting with quantum systems (and still maybe not) you’re not going to come up with an intuitively satisfying explanation of what an electron is.

Are they almost always what you want? Like, what kind of code do you work on? I personally find, that I need floats quite rarely and rationals usually are just fine, when I write Scheme. And when I write Python, floats also don't come up that often, except for in places where I would rather like to have exact numbers than inexact ones, always making me doubt, whether what I calculate here might have too big error in it.

I tested SDXL this weekend with stable-diffusion-webui and I wasn't impressed. There are multiple SD1.5 checkpoints that were much better at generating pics of humans.

Ha, it's like best-effort typing. The interpreter gives you a precise rational if it can, and it throws you a float if it can't. I suppose that, in a language as dynamic as Raku, the idea is that you should never need to keep track of types anyhow, but this might be nicer if this value ends up being your user-facing output, depending on the application.

This is traceable to a 2014 article in the Telegraph, a UK conservative publication that had a strong anti-wind power bent and the article leaves out a ton of relevant detail. The original Telegraph article is here:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10546071/Millions-...

Meanwhile, a survey under Telegraph readers has seen them overwhelmingly support renewables. Yes, trees are being cut down to make room for windmills, but there are also trees being replanted (but not enough, yet). Most windparks are sited away from woodlands, because woodlands tend to have turbulent wind. But access roads to windparks are another matter and this is where a large amount of this logging comes from, besides trees that would have been logged regardless of whether windparks would be built.

Finally, Scotland has over 1.6 million acres of forestland, to put that figure a bit into perspective.

To use a proper source instead of this site that boasts far-right conspiratorial headlines like "Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum: The New Fascism", follow to the original [1].

Particularly telling is that the site neglected to copy over this paragraph:

> “The figure for trees felled for windfarm development on Scotland’s forests and land, as managed by FLS, over the past 20 years is 13.9 million. However, it should be noted that these trees – being a commercial crop – will have eventually have been felled and passed into the timber supply chain in any case.”

Basically the same bullshit that we saw in Germany with Tesla's factory in Brandenburg which was also set on the site of a wood farm... just as here, the far-right conveniently ignored this aspect when whining "don't you care about these trees????".

Users vote with their feet based on cost and UX. While intertia is certainly a thing, there's a reason Zoom got a foothold while others didn't. The ability to send out links and having people join the meeting without creating accounts or manually installing clients first is huge in most real-world scenarios. Could you do that with... Teams? Skype? Hangouts if they weren't gmail users? Do those people know anyone with the knowledge and gumption to host something?

From the beginning of my involvement in FOSS like 25 years ago, developers have griped about non-technical users being intimidated, or even just really annoyed by UX resistance that we consider trivial. That's the primary reasons open source alternatives are alternatives rather than the standard in user-facing software.

I’m a mod on /r/ruby and it’s got 80,000 subscribers. I like to think it’s not “beyond moderation”. We have fairly aggressive rules (around tone and impact) and very high standards and I would say most of the time the community meets or exceeds those standards

I think there are limits but I also don’t feel that most platforms have hit them or really even tried. Most platforms that would benefit from a stronger sense of community typically do the bare minimum to not run afoul of laws (in terms of paid moderation). Even the ones with strong volunteer mods (like Reddit) are known for underinvesting in mod tools, that’s the source of the recent protests.

On /r/ruby we have two kinds of problems that bubble up intentional and unintentional. The majority of slights are unintentional and when called out are very apologetic and seek to make things right. For the intentional abusers, there’s the ban.

I think of it less like building a wall and more like flattening the curve. If you can stop the cascade of frustration (where one pissed off user leads to another…) then it pays off dividends, even if you can’t catch 100% of the cases.

The usual narrative around this skill is that it was banned because it was too dangerous, but that doesn't ring true to me -- many release moves performed both by women on the uneven bars and men on the high bar have similar motions whose risk is surely equal to or greater than a Korbut flip.

For example, here's a Korbut flip: it's a back flip from the feet to catch the bar: https://youtu.be/NZYPcdj_wn4?t=15

Compare this with a Mo Salto, one of the hardest (legal!) release moves in the women's code of points: https://youtu.be/eIwTquLwGpA?t=26

On the men's side, the Korbut flip is a pretty similar motion to a Kovacs (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6yRJaivL1TE) which is a staple of high-level men's gymnastics; in fact the basic Kovacs is "so easy" that you rarely see the vanilla version performed by top athletes! It's more common to do them with a full twist (Coleman/Cassina, e.g. https://youtu.be/8IeBXhijY0M?t=40) or in combination with other release moves (e.g. Zonderland at the 2012 Olympics https://youtu.be/I0TM2sOnvyI?t=1160). Hidetaka Miyachi is one of the few people to ever have competed a double-twisting Kovacs (both tucked and straight! https://youtu.be/RgW36EKyKyg?t=23), and there are a few videos online of people practicing a "double Kovacs" with an extra flip (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zI8VEll7wKI) but nobody has ever done one in competition.

While it's perceived danger might have been a factor in the initial ban of the Korbut flip, in light of these modern release moves it's hard to see how that is still a good reason. Instead, I think the reason it remains banned is more aesthetic; bars are supposed to be a swinging event, and we don't want to allow skills that have athletes standing on the bar instead of swinging around it.

On the other hand, banning the Thomas salto (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkQRWCsKyj0) and other similar roll-out moves on floor is very clearly motivated by safety -- these are indeed very dangerous, and athletes have been seriously injured by them (most famously Elena Mukhina who became a quadriplegic as a result of this skill).
It's always a big deal, but can also mean nothing? So, pure speculation?

Not good when a CFO abruptly resigns (or is fired). Usually companies project this quarters ahead to the public, with a soft notice that "XYZ will be retiring next year".

One thing I like in Slashdot compared to HN is how stories there always contain some abstract.

Here is the one from that dissertation, which sounds intriguing:

> While modern software development heavily relies on versioned packages, the concept of versions is rarely supported in the semantics of programming languages,
resulting in bulky and unsafe software updates.

> The dissertation proposes a programming language that intrinsically supports versions. To establish a basis of finer-grained version control in language semantics, the author proposes a language
called VL, with core calculus for supporting multiple versions, a compilation method
to the core, and an inference algorithm determining the version of each expression.

> The author proved the type safety of the core calculus to guarantee consistent versions in a program. The author also implements VL, a minimal but adequate functional language that supports data structures and a module system, and conducts a case study involving the simultaneous use of multiple versions.

A few months ago, I stumbled upon the fact that a bunch of MIT Press books that are listed on the Internet Archive have been relicensed, including some that aren't (currently) part of this collection. For example, the 1995 book World War II And The American Dream contains this Creative Commons dedication in the frontmatter[1]:

> This file has been authorized and provided by the publisher, The MIT Press, as part of its ongoing efforts to make available in digital form older
titles that are no longer readily available.

> This file is provided for non-commercial use through the Internet Archive under a CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license. For more information please visit www.creativecommons.org.

The exact text of this notice can vary from book to book, and I have a hunch that I haven't seen all of them. Somewhat annoyingly, the status/metadata for these items hasn't been updated, so they are still listed as being limited preview titles, which requires you check them out and AFAIK also means their contents are not available for download (even though the Creative Commons license allows unlimited copies).

Semi-hijack with a tangential question:

Has anyone put together a resource - or better yet, an automated service - for migrating away from Google (Gmail in particular)?

I’m curious if anyone else here can anecdotally confirm, but in the past 6-12 months a huge majority of the “normies” I originally setup with Gmail accounts (way back when they first came out with 2gb of storage) have been contacting me saying they’re getting dire warnings about storage space resulting in them not being able to send/receive emails “soon” unless they start paying Google. The timing coincides roughly with the crackdown on edu storage space fwiw.

It’s already difficult enough for a tech-savvy person to seamlessly switch emails, but for the avg Boomer getting literal hundreds of spam emails per day I don’t even know how to tell them to begin. I spent a good hour at my parents’ house at least trying to cut down on the spam/newsletter subscriptions and mass deleted tens of thousands of emails - but within a month the “pay up” warning returned.
The vast majority of the time it’s a big deal, which makes it newsworthy. As well, any well run company would announce at least a few quarters in advance that the CFO is leaving.

I can’t imagine using VC for exploratory programming without rebase or something equivalent. I don’t want to bother writing a meaningful commit message for a change I’m probably going to throw away. I also don’t want to push a history like “WIP, WIP, works now, broke again, WIP” and that’s what it looks like at a first pass when I’m moving quickly.

Instead I squash away the garbage and push out a reasonable looking chain of commits with nice descriptions.
It's mostly in calculating percentages, measuring timing, computing the interval to wait to satisfy a rate limit, that sort of thing. None of those require the extra overhead of an exact datatype in the contexts I'm using them.
And robotaxis never happened, and the cybertruck (hideous as it is) is years behind schedule... So much of Tesla's valuation is built on nothing more than empty Musk promises. The CFO seems like someone who will be taking a lot of heat when reality comes to roost. No wonder he's leaving.
It is relevant because taking a bed means giving up means of survival without anything to replace it. You also seem to be forgetting that these are people with agency and not just numbers on a spreadsheet so yes, people will argue that they deserve the respect needed to improve their own conditions.
