Leaving it open to do what you want as a choice would be ideal rather than having it interpreted for you.

I never got on very well with Landau and Lifschitz it's pretty intense. I mostly used pdf lecture notes from different courses. They can be a bit mixed but many are very good quality and you can easily pick up a couple for the same topic if you don't understand some part of one of them
Esim is a death for featured phones.
Yep, in my experience this is what it led to.

Every API call was so form fit to the UI that nearly every UI tweak needed frontend and backend changes.

It didn’t need to be this way (there was a lack of engineering skill and leadership), but even past the surface level much of the backend code beyond the API interface also became form fit to the specific use case meaning many times seemingly simple changes required near total reimplementation of all of the business logic and other underlying code.

End of the day, showing the same data or exposing the same flows elsewhere in the application required nearly a total reimplementation on the backend. This created an explosion in size of the codebase and complexity.

This whole idea seems to basically be going back to RPC-based APIs and all the drawbacks that led to everyone kind of collectively agreeing REST was better (even if most people only sort of half implement it).

Our approach, staring down a roadmap of projects that basically involved exposing the same functionality over and over with different pictures in front of it was to steer _hard_ the other direction.

We sat down and put together an API specification that laid out the general shape of an API. Not the specific resources, but for any given collection/resource how it should be exposed. We found common “tough” use cases and figured out up front how to expose those RESTfully and documented the patterns to maintain consistency. We put down a framework in code to make compliance with the spec the “easy” path for most cases.

Then we approached the rest of the design from an API perspective, not a frontend or backend perspective. For any given flow/operation/etc, what would a good interface look like for this. (This is very similar to figuring out what the interface for a module/class/etc should look like, given its responsibility, before writing it.) Then we built it.

The end result has been that more and more frequently requests and even entirely new projects require _no_ backend involvement. Often the FE team doesn’t even need to ask any questions—given any endpoint that exposes a collection of resources, they know _exactly_ how to work with it because they’re all the same.

When new business rules or requirements come in, we no longer need to apply them in 5 or more different places across two codebases. And we’ve still maintained a good separation of frontend and backend duties to the point our FE team is busy but kind of bored—they’re only really concerned with the view/display logic at this point.

Company history is largely lost to the mists of time, but the API routes were all prefixed `/v5/`. I can only imagine how much further along the company would be if they’d spent the last decade building on top of a foundation instead of rebuilding the foundation every two years as they have been with the RPC model.
Because the precondition (reduction of inequality) is not met.
The use of SNR isn’t new, and so is the use of internet/wifi as a way to correct the gnss location in realtime using differential correction, where your vehicle send the location data over the internet to a server that finds the nearest pre-surveyed base station to correct these data with the difference, and that should give you sub 40cm accuracy. If more accurate locations are needed, why not use the industry standards like RTK algorithms (either RTK float with decimeter acutely or RTK integer with cm accuracy) that utilizes C/A code unique for each sat, Why would Uber trying to use monte-carlo with SNR/location only? Especially it looks like it only works on Android anyway.
Also, why not add fish ladders? Basins with small waterfalls the salmon can overcome?
Considering how much misery hay fever causes, i would think a treatment with a 20% - 50% effectiveness would be amazing.
I recommend giving The New York Review of Books a try. Their stable of guest writers is legendary, from J. M. Coetzee to Zadie Smith.

They established a kind of genre of review where the review isn't so much reviewing the book as it is retelling it in magazine form. In many cases I've had no desire to read the book itself, because the review was so in-depth and comprehensive, not to mention well-written.

While I do like that intuitive explanation, it's lacking in describing all other aspects of the universe.

Like, how the energy required for an object with mass to approximate the speed of light in spacial dimensions goes to infinity, even though it's already traveling at that speed through spacetime.

Or quantum mechanics.

The error handling verbosity in Go should be blamed partially on the formatter that replaces one-liner if err != nil { return err } with 3 lines.

Not remote since I don't trust that a VPS provider will not look at my stuff. They have insight into every box, and run under a high powered hypervisor. You can always do FDE on the box, but since it's virtualized, they could still have insight.

So, it's local only VM for me, sandboxed away from other work. That way I can tear it down when the environment starts to get buggy (multiple versions of Python installed for example).

If you're wondering what kind of work I do, it's related to cryptocurrency and some projects require tight opsec. One small leak of sensitive data, and years of hard work and investment go out the window.
I agree with this, and also in a complimentary way, but it all seems very non-idiomatic for Go. But I am not a Go expert by any means.

Remember the outcry against using Wikipedia as a source in school-work etc? Pretty convinced that the fear that "LLMs just make stuff up" will gradually go away as they get better.

Also, at the moment you should view e.g. ChatGPT as your autistic well-read friend who really do know quite a lot of things, but only approximately, and is prone to make things up instead of being found out for not knowing. It's OK to ask your autistic friend how electricity works, but don't expect him to correctly cite the titles and authors of relevant research papers. Just common sense stuff if you really think of the LLM as a brain of compressed information and not a search engine.
Point out that the oxycontin epidemic was caused by greed and regulatory capture and everyone nods in agreement but suggest greed motivates the industry more generally and it's time for ad hominems.

Individual rules can be a result of one freak occurrence but if many different shelters systematically converge on a similar set of rules then there must be a reason.
Isn't the trend that developed nations are starting to plateau, and global population is expected to peak in the next few decades? I'm actually more worried about the opposite problem in the short term. With birth rates so low, the folks being born now are going to be supporting a disproportionately large elderly population.

Nah, its real simple. SR just comes about because you want to keep chemistry working the same on a rocket doing 99% of the speed of light as it is at rest.

Working out all the implications becomes very complex.

But then you probably wouldn't have life to observe it if the simple rules didn't have complex emergent behaviors.
I have worked with addicts from a range of backgrounds. The causal arrow does not point simply in either direction.

Addiction is a complex result of genetics and circumstance.

A background of poverty makes addiction much more likely. It is unquestionably harder to get clean if you do not have basic social security, let alone no secure shelter. Of course it is. The best indicator of whether you’ll successfully get clean is socio-economic background.

Once you are homeless (people generally prefer “unhoused” these days), being an addict makes it more difficult to get off the street if most state-provided shelter is contingent on getting clean.

So much state-provided shelter is completely inadequate as a secure base for turning your life around- look at the literal human warehouse that Vegas has just built.

A joined-up, personalised, and evidence-based system of care is required that does not exist where I live in the UK or in the US. Frustratingly, all evidence suggests that providing that system is cheaper than not doing so, whilst also relieving astonishing human suffering.

Providing an easy path off the street will help with addiction rates. Providing addiction treatment services will get people off the street. Do both at the same time as part of the same system of care and things really start working.

A google search will readily provide studies that confirm this.

Addiction is termed “persistent” rather than “permanent” by the NIDA. With respect for the net positive effect of abstinence-only programs, I have seen plenty of addicts stay clean long enough to create a stable life for themselves and then go on to safely use alcohol or drugs recreationally. Although, of course, plenty who have attempted that and then spiralled back down. Every individual is different, and tailored care works best.
I think it has value for being really simple and like a sheet of paper on a call.

I used an iPad mini for a long while on zoom calls until I discovered something much better received - just use PowerPoint/Slides to draw boxes and text as needed together, the interface is familiar and people can pick up on it and move forward together.

Indeed, this type of "surprises" is how you know you are probably on the right track with your choice of abstraction. But I still find the word "surprise" reasonable for the emotion I feel when I observe something like that. Very pleasing reassuring intellectually satisfying surprise. A "sufficiently smart armchair theorist" might discover these "surprises" in advance simply from consistency and beauty and simplicity considerations, but these armchair theorists are usually just a made up thing we imagine when teaching.

I corrected the wrong use of the word associative, thanks!
You rather showed the opposite. While interesting, this video only explains length contraction, not the Terrell–Penrose effect. In this video, the passing spaceship would appear to be rotated to the observer, not just contracted, as, to quote Penrose via Wikipedia, the light from the trailing part reaches the observer from behind the [spaceship], which it can do since the [spaceship] is continuously moving out of its way"
The point is they are lying.

That’s the point.
> For example, signed integer overflow being UB was intended to allow compiling C to non-twos-compliment machines.

This is indeed a design mistake, but in another sense. Ordinary arithmetic ops like + or - should throw an exception on overflow (with both signed and unsigned operands) because most of the times you need an ordinary math, not math modulo 2^32. For those rare cases where wrap around is desired, there should be a function like add_and_wrap() or a special operator.

> neuro-typicals mistake my intent and refuse to believe me

This is an idea I had to unlearn. We struggle as much understanding ourselves as understanding other people. When people react negatively to our behavior often times we immediately jump to extending unlimited benefit of the doubt to our own intentions. In reality, our perception of our own intentions are often post-hoc fabrications to preserve our self-image as a nice person. Letting go of this assumption was helpful to a better understanding of interpersonal interaction.
I kinda agree with the X/Twitter name change but I really want to stress that it is STILL the same service.

I am a large account/heavy user and it’s still very good.

The worst part was changing how DMs worked. Before you could get in touch with Celebs or famous people and know it was them. Right now it could be a parody account, it’s tough to tell. Is that really pmarca in my DMs or a twitter blue user?

Beyond that I think the site has improved. And it will probably get better and you should hop on.

It’s not just political hell fire (which was ‘nerfed’ if you will, in virality during the for-you algo update). I have qualms too but I really do mean it: the site is still very good.

Abstract:

>>
Cancer is a significant healthcare issue, and early screening methods based on biomarker analysis in liquid biopsies are promising avenues to reduce mortality rates. Electrical detection of nucleic acids at the single molecule level could enable these applications. We examine the electrical detection of RNA cancer biomarkers (KRAS mutants G12C and G12V) as a single-molecule proof-of-concept electrical biosensor for cancer screening applications. We show that the electrical conductance is highly sensitive to the sequence, allowing discrimination of the mutants from a wild-type KRAS sequence differing in just one base. In addition to this high specificity, our results also show that these biosensors are sensitive down to an individual molecule with a high signal-to-noise ratio. These results pave the way for future miniaturized single-molecule electrical biosensors that could be groundbreaking for cancer screening and other applications.

When I read things like this, part of my brain begins analyzing how effective they were at their caper, I do the same thing with serial killer podcasts and I'm never planning on killing or robbing, but maybe I'll write a book someday.

For being organized they were very unorganized. Could've easily walked out with 5x as much in half the time, at least from the video I watched.

Just saying, again I'm not a crook just have an over active imagination.
Wigner Functions are great and all, but they work quite badly for finite dimensional systems. Specifically they are a bit complicated for odd dimensional systems and don't work at all for even dimensional systems (see e.g. [1]). Given their limited applicability I don't see why we should treat them as particuarly fundamental when introducing quantum mechanics to students.

My understanding is that he got capital by using his Tesla stock as collateral - having liquidated all at once would have damaged its value, which happened anyway to a lesser extent.

> If it runs out of space, it creates that same path on another drive.

That's not how it works.

The policy picks what branch to use and then once selected mergerfs will clone the relative path as needed. With "ep" policies it will never select a branch that doesn't have the full relative path. "msp" will always rerun the check one level up in the hierarchy if nothing is found at the current level.
I don't know. First of all, social media are not the press. Press overall being tame does not mean all of it is tame. Alex Jones is not a press, but he is media and definitely drives some of the polarization.

Which leads to, polarization is not symmetrical. Some groups of society move toward extreme much faster then others.

Also, we do have less polarization then France had before French revolution.
Prior to it becoming seriously popular though, I think?
Isn't this trivially false, way before atoms, Turing machines, and any other drive-by namedrops I missed?

Show HN: Grease the Groove Calculator and Training Plan
Eh, nothingburger. As the original source of this data notes in their report, global IT systems energy demand has only slightly expanded in the past decade, because the countervailing trend is that workloads are migrating from tragic-comic corporate datacenters with PUE of 2 or worse, into the cloud where the PUE is 1.1 or so. And in the cloud the power that is delivered to the CPU is better used due to oversubscription, multitenancy, and so forth. Finally, because large-scale operators often also build their own renewable energy facilities, their fraction of global CO2 is much less than their fraction of energy consumed.

Naturally you should design your systems for maximum efficiency, but since operating expenses are closely approximated by power consumption you are already correctly incentivized to do so.
I think 10 years on that part of the problem is the negative patterns that come with being overly committed and passionate to your own ideas.

You need these people to be audacious and relentless in order to move the ball forward, like say, Richard Stallman. But then you get people that are overly audacious and relentless like say Richard Stallman.

The balance here is to know when to put your foot down and when to take a backseat.

I've got no answers on how to strike that balance. After meeting and listening to John Warnock of Adobe and PostScript earlier this year, I'm convinced that Steve Jobs didn't know how the first time at Apple but then figured out the second.

I also get the feeling that Bezos and Gates learned this the hard way. (Guess where http://relentless.com will take you...)

I don't know if there's an easy way to learn it. If anything I'm way too passive.
CCC Talk: All cops are broadcasting Obtaining the secret TETRA primitives [video]
In this talk we will discuss the radio jailbreaking journey that enabled us to perform the first public disclosure and security analysis of the proprietary cryptography used in TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio): a European standard for trunked radio globally used by government agencies, police, prisons, emergency services and military operators. Besides governemental applications, TETRA is also widely deployed in industrial environments such as factory campuses, harbor container terminals and airports, as well as critical infrastructure such as SCADA telecontrol of oil rigs, pipelines, transportation and electric and water utilities.

For over two decades, the underlying algorithms have remained secret and bound with restrictive NDAs prohibiting public scrutiny of this highly critical technology. As such, TETRA was one of the last bastions of widely deployed secret proprietary cryptography. We will discuss in detail how we managed to obtain the primitives and remain legally at liberty to publish our findings.

This journey has involved reverse-engineering and exploiting multiple zero-day vulnerabilities in the highly popular Motorola MTM5x00 TETRA radio and its TI OMAP-L138 trusted execution environment (TEE) and covers everything from side-channel attacks on DSPs, through writing decompilers headache-inducing DSP architectures, all the way to exploiting ROM vulnerabilities in the Texas Instruments TEE.

So, they seem to have made special DNA probes that attaches to some cancer-specific bit of RNA, and the combination of the two stuck together is something they can detect via "scanning tunneling microscopy break junction (STM-BJ)". Is that right?

I guess the question is whether you can use this DNA/RNA detection method without having a whole sophisticated STM setup as the other part of the detector. The article says calls it a nanobiosensor, and says it "has a promising future as an inexpensive, highly sensitive and label-free miniaturized device for early-stage cancer screening of liquid biopsies".

This is really cool, but it's only a nanobiosensor insomuch as you can get a useful signal out of it without an expensive scanning tunneling microscope setup attached, I would assume!
