Summary: my initial math checks out for the total KE of the asteroid, and then we used that to look at the surface heating by the compressed atmosphere and then the Fourier heat analysis of conduction into the asteroid surface

Answer: Tho the atmosphere would be heated to 100k degrees and that's 1000x more than needed for vaporization of e.g. granite, the duration of ~1s means that only a few millimeters of surface would be vaporized by the time of impact.
I don’t see how you can increment `9999` in O(1) if the string length is considered the size of the input. You have to rewrite the string with zeroes, which is O(n) of the size of the string.
I guess it's a Principle Component Analysis (PCA) dimensionality reduction so the axes are not necessarily concepts/features with names. More just "abstract dimensions of similarity."
I have a BS in Math and a great deal of papers that are in topology or number theory are basically inscrutable to me without significant effort to get the relevant background information.

Math and philosophy are both extremely challenging subjects with deep wells of information to draw from.
Much too large for that. Under 50 meters or so you can get airbursts, after that it is direct impact.
Yes, I know this is humor (and as an sqlite fan, I got a good chuckle).

Other have pointed out the spurious correlation issue, but there's also the difficulty of viewing growth data on a linear scale. Switching to a logarithmic scale makes 2004 a less obvious inflection point between no growth and rapid growth.
> That these companies continue to do this for experienced candidates and not just recent graduates without a track record in employment is more perplexing.

This assumes that they don't get similar number of people applying to the experienced positions who are lacking skills.

For example, I know some Java devs who could put down 5+ years of professional experience but are still very junior when it comes to problem solving skills. They are capable of following precise instructions and there's enough work of that nature to do - but an open ended "there's a bug that has a null pointer exception when running in test but not dev or production" is something that they're not capable of doing.

If they were to apply to a position that said senior java developer based on their years of experience and there was no code test as part if it, they might be able to talk their way through parts of it and there is a risk that they could get hired.

For a senior java developer position at Google, would it be surprising if they got 500 applicants with 5+ years of experience?

How would you meaningfully filter that down to a set of candidates who are likely to be able to fill the role?
Network Rail in the UK has many rather scary safety videos.

Here's one that's relevant to the SF bay area.[1] It's about the dangers of aluminum Mylar helium balloons near overhead wire. Those balloons are conductors, and so are their shiny metallized ribbons. If one of those things gets close to high voltage overhead wire, the holder will be electrocuted. In wet weather, ordinary non-metallic strings become conductive. Network Rail has deaths this way regularly.

The SF bay area now needs that warning. CALTRAIN electrification is close to power-up. That's expected in Q4 2023.[2] This is the first time the SF Bay Area has had 25KV overhead wire close to ground level. (SF Muni is 600VDC. BART is 1000VDC. Most power transmission lines at higher voltages are much higher up than railroad power. Caltrain wire is at roughly 5 meters.)

Balloons on long strings are now deadly near the tracks. Tell people this.

Would be interesting to try newer AMD Phoenix APU, specifically 7840H, 7840HS, 7940H or 7940HS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:AMD_Ryzen_Mobile_7040...

These chips don’t have a socket and were designed for laptops. However, they have up to 54W TDP which is not quite a laptop’s territory. Luckily, there’re mini-PCs on the market with them. The form factor is similar to Intel NUC or Mac Mini. An example is Minisforum UM790 Pro (disclaimer: I have never used one, so far only read a review).

The integrated Radeon 780M GPU includes 12 compute units of RDNA3, peak FP32 performance is about 9 TFlops, peak FP16 about 18 TFlops. The CPU supports two channels of DDR5-5600, a properly built computer has 138 GB/second memory bandwidth.
> Doesn't seem unreasonable that computer OS's and/or web browsers be required to support the same.

Why?

Web browsers were designed from the start to show you only content you expressly requested. Notification APIs are still opt-in. A browser is primarily pull-oriented, whereas a phone was always bi-directional. Inverting this expectation for the browser is very much unwelcome.

Patents are often framed as something that protects the small, but in reality it has been a rigged game from the start. For one thing, patent litigation is expensive and risky. It's uncertain whether a given lawsuit will be successful. And one of the risks is invalidating the patent itself, so litigators often will take a deal (and earn less than what would be owed if infringement were found)

Meanwhile big companies can just spam patent applications, amassing a strategic stockpile that makes it less devastating if one of them is invalidated

This whole structure serves the interests of big companies even if they are infringing!
Eh. Giant headaches is overstating it, I think, if we're talking Lisp post 2005 or 2010: Common Lisp implementations are largely compatible; Racket only has one implementation (and no spec); in Scheme you'll have to spend a bit of time porting between the three or four big implementations that can actually run your stuff, big whoop. (On this forum I probably have to mention Arc, but I don't believe it ever grew beyond a personal project.) I'd say that the main obstacle to adoption was rather the (apparent) absence of shinies (and boy were there a lot of competing shinies at the time).

Even if this were correct, though, my experience is that I find very little enjoyment in things that are targeted at what in your terms is success. For example, Go feels dreadfully unpleasant even though I can't deny the good—occasionally downright brilliant—engineering that went into it, kind of like a mass-produced concrete residential building. Let's be honest, I'm in this largely for the hackery, a little bit for the feeling of having solved somebody's problem, and not in the slightest for the social acceptance. You might not agree here (or you might!), but I hope that, if one day nobody does, I still have the self-awareness to step away from the computer and go do something else.
This argument makes sense only if you assume that your model is too large to fit in the GPU's RAM and hence has to reside mainly in the CPU's RAM.
Whatever parts of the atmosphere were involved in the direct vicinity of the impactor would be heated to plasma. It is just too much energy, you're talking about the equivalent of a massive number of H-Bombs all going off at roughly the same time.

Yes but is it Referring to the additive or multiplicative inverse?

Or maybe it’s making the tree upside down, so all leaves become roots, and the root becomes a leaf. But when we do that, do we just invert all the edges or transform the whole tree?

Maybe it’s referring to changing a red-black tree into a green-white tree? Or turning a splay tree into a merge tree?
At home I have a little Intel NUC running ubuntu hooked up to a 4 bay synology NAS.

I’m running several web apps, a git server, Plex, pihole, private CA, and keykloak, all on top of microk8s. It’s overkill, but I appreciated the opportunity to fiddle around and learn K8S without stress of external obligations.

I have two ingresses, one internal and one external facing. The external one is exposed via cloudflare and a micro vm (for multi level subdomains that cloudflare doesn’t support for free).

dyndns is handled by the router. It writes to a pseudorandom hostname, and cloudflare references it by CNAME.

It doesn’t get any significant amount of external traffic, but is good enough for family to use for the web apps + a yearly march madness pool (that can’t be hosted on yahoo/ESPN/etc due to a custom family rule set).
> Vegetarians are really enthusiastic to use climate change as an excuse to talk about their thing.

It sounds like those two groups may have paid a cost. Many vegetarians like the taste and convenience of meat but give it up due to climate impact. People who don't have children may want them but don't like how humanity impacts the rest of the world.
IP addresses won't necessarily ID a TOR user unless all exit nodes are known and being checked for. The TOR browser fingerprint stands out like a sore thumb though.

The shared fingerprint makes TOR users indistinguishable from other TOR users unless/until a single identifying factor isn't accounted for at which point all TOR users are identifiable on every connection, across time, different domains, etc. The sameness of TOR user's fingerprints + even just one consistent identifying feature means TOR users could be individually tracked.

A unique canvas fingerprint can be used to track you, but as long as it's differently unique on every request it can't be used to track you because the resulting fingerprint will always be different.

The "hide in the crowd" trick of trying to make a bunch of different people's browsers look identical isn't a bad thing, it's just extremely fragile. Still, it's better than nothing. Making all browsers randomize their fingerprint every time defeats tracking just as well as the "hide in the crowd" trick does (when that trick is 100% perfect) but also adds resilience and flexibility

The best you can do is pseudonymity. If the attestations are completely anonymous then you have no way of dealing with bad actors, like those who sell their digital identity to spammers.

A software that gets almost no commits, which devs all now develop Wayland and won't get any modern features is never going to be overtaken?

Last year x had [156](https://www.phoronix.com/news/XServer-2022-Development-Pace#....) commits that's almost as low as in 2003. On its high in 2008 it had over 2000.

X is dying. All the development is on Wayland. Even the maintainers of x think it is an unmaintainable mess, which they do not understand. They either quit or work on Wayland. How long does a software need to be on life support to be overtaken?

Read [this](https://www.phoronix.com/review/x_wayland_situation) and you might understand why x got abandoned

I think for this to be generally effective for Windows software, developers on the whole not being consistent or wanting to invest the effort in little bits of polish like that, they would need an API into a system-wide implementation.

Which they could do, but it would take forever to see adoption in Windows culture, and Microsoft evidently cannot, just cannot, get their UI shit together.
Orcas very likely have human adjacent intelligence and evolved earlier than humans. They arrived several to tens of million years before humans, as far as I can tell. Orcas are simply constrained by their environment as far as technological development goes.
There is the actual study: https://www.bmj.com/content/382/bmj-2022-074520

The analysis doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

> We interpret the P value as a continuous measure rather than limiting interpretation to dichotomisation of the P value at a threshold for declaring significance (such as 0.05)

That seems weird to me.

The figure https://www.bmj.com/content/bmj/382/bmj-2022-074520/F1.large... shows a lot of their datapoints confidence intervals crossing 1.0

In addition, they are using 90% confidence intervals instead of 95% saying that this is what is often used in these types of studies. Interestingly, in their discussion, the other studies that have 95% confidence intervals seem to cross 0, quite a lot.

In addition, in their discussion, they characterize other studies as showing difference when the confidence interval includes 0:

>Analyses of mortality among French nuclear workers showed a positive association between estimated colon dose and solid cancer mortality (excess relative rate 0.69 (95% confidence interval −0.28 to 1.77) per Gy)58; we note that INWORKS includes a sizable fraction of this cohort. Analyses of mortality among US nuclear workers showed a positive association between cumulative dose and solid cancer mortality (excess relative rate 0.19 (95% confidence interval −0.10 to 0.52) per Gy), which was of larger magnitude among workers first hired after 1960

All this together makes me suspicious

Congress can pass whatever they like, but there's a bunch of reasons a law like that would be unconstitutional and likely quickly struck down. Not only is it a violation of the First Amendment, it is almost a textbook case of a Bill of Attainder.

> several of the most savvy security teams

I mean the list isn't for savvy security teams. Or, I'd say, not even for companies with any kind of security team.

For the typical startup with zero people with any security experience, it's something they can do. If they get to a point of hiring a security team, they're past the point of needing such a starter list.

> Comply with all industry security standards relevant to your business such as PCI DSS, HITRUST, ISO27001, and SSAE 18 --- LOL to this whole line item.

That's silly to say. You must comply with regulations that apply to your industry. Try setting up a bank and just LOL at banking regulations (SBF?). Of course, if none apply to your industry, ignore them all.

I think the primary design flaw is that they're built by the cheapest race-to-the-bottom manufacturer that cuts corners whenever possible. Advice like "make sure to only buy a quality one" may be useless if all of the quality manufacturers exited the business decades ago, unable to compete with the cheap flammable garbage that people were actually buying. Note how many formerly reputable brand names are on this list. The companies are hollow shells of their former selves, all buying the same cut rate hardware from some no-name overseas manufacturer and slapping their plastic over it.

Eneloops are rechargeable batteries. They have low self-discharge which means they don't lose their charge quickly like normal NiMH batteries, and can store them charged and devices don't need to be charged frequently. There are now other similar brands but Eneloops are most popular and maybe even generic name.
> For example, recently the law changed so that pedestrians had priority at 't' road junctions without traffic lights.

That's hardly a backwards-incompatible change that needs to be actioned immediately.

My attention has already been torn to shreds for years via smartphone usage (I'm in an on-and-off recovery). I don't need the government adding their two pence into what's already a bad situation.

If they care so much, mail me. Physically. That both gets my attention, lets the government constant me via a much less intrusive channel, and staves off the bankruptcy of Royal Mail.
I think both are worthy of criticism. No project out there is able to separate technical and social concerns, any more than you can separate the logical and emotional parts of a person. Every project has social and technical standards. It's the pure focusing on one or another that skews peoples values on making software.

I am against the solution because it requires yet more environment variables that need setting if you don't want a bunch of Windows-looking folders in your $HOME.

There are a great many things 'well-intentioned' in this world. I'm simply less convinced and more aloof to efforts that steer the way we compute.

The article and discussion have already shown that even proponents or adherants to XDG can't decide where things go. Data and cache get used interchangeably, and if I or a group of hackers want to improve or influence the standard, we will be stopped by the big desktop makers.

Usually, adopting standards comes with great benefits for everyone. The big guns win control if we capitulate to their way of building software.

I honestly see little reason we can't have competing 'standards' on file paths. That practice would encourage software to simply make its config path changeable at runtime.

There are too many people trying to turn GNU/Linux into one monolithic thing that's the same for everyone, and that defeats the moral point of free software. If I was required to follow these standards to get my software into a distro, I'd have moved on a long time ago.

The 'problem' with freedom is it lets you keep the pieces if things break. What you do with the pieces -- lean to XDG, switch OSes, make your own hierarchy -- is up to you.

Maybe the culture and community needs to be forked. There's clearly a group of hackers that loves bureaucracy and consensus before code is written, and another that doesn't really care for either of those things.

If others choose to look solely at the technical, then they will be led on like fools by the socially-targeting people, who aren't just looking to solve technical problems.

So what was the point of claiming I have no problem with the solution when I've not communicated that?

Wrt point 3, it's how one is supposed to act while in a group. You don't know them outside of the group, and it's none of your business what they do outside of the group. Some may claim that's overly tolerant, but in my opinion if a bigot behaves while working, it shows they know their ideas are unpopular and they have the tact and decorum to not bring it up. How they act outside the group is not up to the group.
I’ve seen that one before, but I got a fresh laugh out of it.

this actually may help me clear out a subtle distinction:

the documentation has the same socialpolitical problem as any other artistic expression encoded into a digital asset

but the code has a subtly different socialpolitical problem that goes a little bit further than the one of 'mere' digital assets.
