> it is quite surprising that these two sets of axioms that look nothing alike produce the same self-consistent physics

Why is that surprising? This sort of thing seems to be ubiquitous in our universe. F=ma is equivalent to the principle of least action. Turing machines are equivalent to the lambda calculus. Electrodynamics is equivalent to the existence of a finite reference velocity.

Also:

> You need to define temperature as an associative observable

Did you mean transitive? My understanding is that the required axiom is that if system A is in thermal equilibrium with system B, and B is in equilibrium with C, then A will be in equilibrium with C. That's transitivity, not associativity.

Any idea how one can get hands on consumer-profile eUICC cards (or chips)? I've wanted to play around with eSIM (and perhaps use it for travel purposes), but don't want to upgrade my phone just yet.

Here’s the major flaw. With iCloud Keychain Or Chrome it assumes that platform as central to everything you do. All it takes is one exception to be really annoying. For example I don’t use chrome on my iPhone. I don’t use safari on my work laptop. Etc.

If you can get access, the access outside the core platforms are afterthoughts. Such as iCloud keychains chrome plugin.

Apps like 1password don’t favor one platform over another. There isn’t a conflict of interest for which platforms will be supported.
They're suggesting using the pageTitle parameter for the title, and being explicit about how things are used. If you pass a companyName parameter, it is quite generic. You just happen to use the companyName for the title, but you also use it elsewhere. Someone might want to add some additional info to the title. Their solution will likely be a new parameter and then concatenate these values together. But if you just thought about being explicit to begin with, then you'd already have the functionality to do that.

The idea is to write things as standalone components. Which is a pretty universal programming strategy.

Show HN: Cubisum – A number puzzle game inspired by Sudoku and Minesweeper
Hi HN,

I'd like to share a logic number puzzle game I created! It is somewhat reminiscent of Sudoku and Minesweeper, but with its own twist. The rules are simple but it can be quite challenging! Please enjoy :)

The feedback on the game prototype was invaluable and I incorporated a lot into what I hope is a more polished version of the game.
What's new:
Introduced a daily puzzle challenge.
Dark mode.
Enhanced user experience with improved UI.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these updates. Feedback is always appreciated!

Low/no code signup/demo page for startup?

Ideas that I can directly identify and approach potential customers I am doing so.

I am a fullstack developer and could obviously code this with react/flask/whatever etc... but what is the lowest code/no code solution so I can focus on moving fast rather than coding?
You are underestimating how much work went into securing the capital needed to sign those papers. He probably used the last fake resistance to do some edgy trading and profit a bit out of the public.

I don't think buying twitter was a very good business decision, but it was certainly calculated.

The value he got from owning the public discourse platform is enough for someone who is a billionaire and doesn't really need money anymore.
A conversation is content created in the Now. The people on their phones are essentially involved in a conversation, or at least an ongoing performance that has attributes of conversation.

Just like our ancestors were, before the invention of writing.

The better question is, what is the content of that conversation? Is it informed by past?

If that is true, then most of those releases are inaccessible to most listeners. For example, Spotify only adds around 100k "songs" per day and that includes remasters and mixes of an existing song, no matter how small the change is. For someone who truly wants to pick from all those ten million songs, there isn't even a service that would let them listen to the songs, let alone find them and recommend them.
Interviewing for data science is incredibly hard - first of all it’s a super broad field, incorporating everything from making models, to cleaning data, to doing cutting edge research on any one of the many current domains - Transformers, alternative architectures, more classical machine learning like random forests, model compression, etc.

One thing I really do believe is that to be an actually effective research team member, that does not require a lot of outside help, is coding skill. If you can’t coherently program your idea, in a way that others can use in a bug free way, it means someone else has to troubleshoot and fix the spaghetti.

I like to split my interviews into two parts - one decently tricky programming problem, and one “design” type question. Except instead of system design, it’s research design. We have this problem, how would approach making a hypothesis, testing it, and expanding on it from there.

Finding someone who can do both is _hard_ though!

Hi, I am from Belgium and I have played LAC many times now since I discovered this beauty : A really fully Linux running Combat Flight Simulator .

I couldn't agree more with your description, @DillardTheDread !
And I know what I'm talking about : I started playing Linux Air Combat
more than one year ago .

The only disadvantage that I have, is the fact that I live in Europe, so my time zone is CET (= UTC + 2) . This means that I have to play very late in the evening or at night to be able to fly when other, American users play .

But I can assure you, the man who developed the biggest part of it is very helpful and very polite : He has helped me through installing the game & the 'Mumble' voice comm client . And he explained step by step to configure this Mumble (there are some function keys setups : F1 = chatting with the members of your team, red or blue, F2 = chatting with all members playing the same mission , red AND blue, F3 & F4 for putting the voice comm volume up or down)

Now I am ready to do that myself, so when playing LAC for the first time WITH Mumble voice comm running, don't be afraid if I start talking to you with a foreign accent, okay ? (my Mumble name is "B-FORCE", which appears in one of the mission teams too when I am playing) I can help you out with the most stuff to do when playing Linux Air Combat .

The Battle to Ban TikTok and the Man at the Center of It
It is always sad when someone dies, and especially so when that person was an inspiration for you. I met John at a party that I attended with my wife at PARC where he and Bob Taylor ("Boss Bob") were discussing microcode changes in the Alto that would speed up graphics rendering. As a young over confident pipsqueak I thought I could just wade into that conversation and add my thoughts but got so thoroughly trounced (but in a nice way) I just had to nod and slowly slink away :-). While hanging out with my wife another attendee came up to me and assured me that no, neither Bob nor John were being mean, they just had already covered a lot of the basics and options and their questions were at a much higher level. He assured me I'd catch up, just takes a bit of reading. I said thanks, feeling a bit better but really still feeling like the third grader who finds themselves in a college physics class.

When we got home my wife asked me what Bob had said to me, I explained that he and John and pretty much explained that I didn't know enough about graphics algorithms yet to engage in their discussion. She said, "No, not Bob Taylor, Bob Sproul."
Note: SIMD on x86 has unaligned instructions that used to be much slower (decoded differently) than their aligned counterparts.

For example, on Pentium 3 and Pentium Core 2, the unaligned instructions took twice as many cycles to execute. On modern x86 family processors, it’s the same cycle count either way. The only perf penalty one should account for is crossing of cache lines, generally a much smaller problem.

Maybe some of the people he fired could have helped him understand how not to lose half of advertisers or all the people put off by the presence of actual Nazis who will soon be unblockable and if they commit 8 bucks a month boosted in threads. Also if he was going to lose people maybe it should have been more of the low performers rather than high performers who didn't want to come into the office.

It seems clear to me already that the impact is more than a 10% impact on uptime and a lot of that value lost is going to be evident over years not immediately. EVERY software product on earth could fire the majority of its staff and be OK for a while.

I would definitely consider WD an off-brand at this point.

It's not about the size of the company. Many small, boutique brands are excellent. By revenue, Walmart is the largest company in the world, but no one praises them for their commitment to quality. Indeed, the stores I trust most are small family-run shops where the proprietor has been running them for decades.

I also no longer consider Chinese brands to necessarily be off-brands. China has some excellent brands too these days.
> If they were so essential I'd expect the service to have crashed and burned long ago and never came back up.

False dichotomy. There is a vast space between continuing to run normally and turning into a smoking crater overnight. This includes brief outages, "secondary" functionality being broken for longer, slowdowns, inability to handle spikes or add new features, etc. All things we've actually seen with Twitter BTW. No one of them is enough to kill the site outright, but people do notice when a site is flaky. It erodes trust, and they seek alternatives.

The fact that Twitter hasn't experienced a more serious collapse since Musk's takeover is a testament to the quality of the engineering that was done before. But there's little difference between a sudden death and a slower one, in the end. If you want to rail against "perf-review driven engineering" or churn for churn's sake, you'd do better to aim your invective at Meta or Google instead of kicking people who are already down.

Though TBF what you wrote is pretty much 100% prime grade-A certified rant. A/K/A fulmination.

Substantiating a few of the claims / offering alternatives (either for the industry or yourself) might also skew dang's interpretation.

>Trading off hundreds (thousands?) of people at US salaries for only a 10% impact in uptime is a sane business decision.

A system with 90% uptime is a whole lot less than 90% as valuable as one with nearly 100% uptime.

Well, then signing the contract and commiting to it was monumentally stupid.
I moved to Finland and have found the public health-care good. However I also get some medical stuff provided as part of my employment.

I wanted to have a particular operation and was told I could have it carried out almost for free if I waited for "about a year". Alternatively I could pay for it myself and have it in "a few weeks".

In that kinda situation, a procedure I wanted for myself, I figured I'd just pay. Certainly there wouldn't have been a problem waiting for it, voluntarily. But given the opportunity it seemed like a good decision to make.

In the past I've had work-related healthcare covering me when I had some forearm injuries, caused by climbing, which directly impacted my keyboard usage. My usage of public healthcare involved having brainscans, and other tests before deciding that I was fine. Both cases were nice and straightforward, even without adequate Finnish language skills on my part.

So I think I've had a decent interaction with all three of the systems - paid stuff, which I managed myself, public system, and private healthcare provided by my employer.

Yeah even Microsoft's compiler aligns values on appropriate boundaries for performance reasons. DWORDs on DWORD boundaries etc. And if you want to pack the data structure to avoid the gaps in structures there are methods to do so via #pragma options. I think their complaining about what was done for performance reasons shows a great lack of overall understanding. More time researching and less time griping would have served them better.
Great, except no implementation of the C abstract machine actually exists. So you can't test against it. All you have are compilers that use it to justify miscompiling your code.

We need a C interpreter that intentionally implements C machine features that don't correspond to any architectural feature - i.e. pointers are (allocation provenance, offset) pairs, integer overflow panics, every pointer construction is checked, etc. If only to point out how hilariously absurd the ISO C UB rules are and how nobody actually follows them.

My personal opinion is that "undefined behavior" was a spec writing mistake that has been rules-lawyered into absurdity. For example, signed integer overflow being UB was intended to allow compiling C to non-twos-compliment machines. This was interpreted to allow inventing new misbehaviors for integer overflow instead of "do whatever the target architecture does."
I think its fascinating that a company that I know for automotive brakes used to make computer memory. After looking at their wikipedia page, its clear that they branched out in many different directions.

I wouldn’t go as far to claim that, e.g. it is often claimed to be the reason behind why the JVM has a blooming language ecosystem, while the CLR, not so much.

Generics have language-level semantics and they may decide to do it differently, in which case erasure gives better results.
My father taught himself postscript in the late 80s (it was on the Mac SE). With it and Microsoft Word with a "secret" PostScript style (a particular combination of font, size, italics, underlining, and hidden) allowed him to create a high quality header for a Microsoft Word doc.

With it, copied that document and printed it and the university's letterhead was nicely at the top - scaled to any size. It worked just as well on 8x10 as it did on cardstock that was to be sent out.

It cut down on the cost for printing for the department because they didn't have to buy as much of the letterhead pre-printed paper. Saved on time too since you just printed it rather than needing to load one special sheet and then print the rest.

He saved the stack of paper that he used to learn with for a while. Got four tests per page (four edges and flip). The red book for PostScript laid on top of it.
Hmm, I wonder if this is Microsoft's real endgame with allowing the single line C# syntax.
> I don't get this. What are trans people doing to us?

I've done a lot of thinking about this. People point to religion or society or statistics, but I believe that those are mere fig leafs to justify their hateful gut feelings.

I think it's an offshoot of homophobia. Some men are simply terrified that other men are looking at them the same gross way they or their acquaintances look at women. By the same token, I believe that the disgust felt towards transwomen by some men is that it's "tricking" a man into being gay, and that some women perceive transness as some sort of "stolen valor."
If we have to change people anyway, why not change them to not associate those terms with slavery in a technical context - which I think most people already do anyway - instead of making them use different words? Same result and we do not have to update any existing technical texts.
