> Shrodinger's model of the electron wave function corresponding to a charge density (probability aside) is controversial among physicists

It's more than "controversial"; it was shown not to work way back in the 1920s. That's why Born's probability interpretation was adopted--it was the only one left standing.

> I suspect most chemists doing DFT agree with it.

If all you ever have to deal with is atoms and molecules, the Schrodinger charge density interpretation sort of works--it's at least a good enough heuristic for that domain.

But quantum mechanics gets applied to lots of other domains besides atoms and molecules. The charge density interpretation breaks down in those other domains, whereas the Born probability interpretation does not. And physicists who had to deal with those other domains figured that out, as noted above, back in the 1920s, which is why Schrodinger's charge density interpretation was discarded, at least as any kind of fundamental aspect of quantum theory.
Competitors and freeloaders, okay. How about all the people that never got paid to help build the ecosystem around TF? Should they be fine with this?
It seems that there could be at least a minimum, something like 5 days. If not, what demographic factors in a state would you consider valid to deny any paid time off?
There are some factors that might lead to this lone of though.

- it seem a lot of web developer / product manager either do not know or do not care about robots.txt

- some web application are so badly optimized, that some of them are not able to handle more than 1 hit per second at a sustained rate, which admittedly have worked fine so far. But crawlers are persistent, causing the normal crawling activity to cause denial of service for normal users.
Very true, I didn't want to go too deep in one comment, but I tried to mention that the video of the modded Wipeout is fluctuating between 4000fps and 6000fps, but that doesn't cover the fact that 5999 frames may have been calculated in 0.1s and 1 frame took 0.9s

I actually tried increasing the input handling resolution of a game of mine by running the input polling and physics system 4x for each actual rendered frame. I thought it would be a great idea, you can get more precise input and physics without also calculating batching, draw calls, or sending anything to the GPU.

Only problem was that because the actual game logic and physics in my game was so simple, the visual frame would take about 5ms to calculate/render, and then the 4 non-visual frames would take about 0.2ms each to calculate. So even with a 1000hz mouse it was running the non-visual series of frames faster than the mouse would update, and then stalling for 5ms while the visual frame rendered.
Those business owners are also being exploited by larger businesses. They're also accustomed to a certain slice of pie and hate accepting it diminish.

As a self-employed developer, I've had the same discussion with people that hire me and want to change my rate, "My rate is set by the market and I'm not willing to undercut the people behind me. If I were to set my rate, it would be greater and not less. Hire someone that takes less and best of luck to you, I might not be the right fit."

I'm all for growing the pie instead of changing the slices but that's a concern of things many orders of magnitude beyond myself. I thought rising interest rates might be good for the industry but it turns out the industry is pretty clueless and they don't actually seem to know what they're keeping and what they've dropped, accordingly some people that seem like dead weight technologically are basically untouchable to the people that make the budgets and decisions.

Things have been divorced from economic realism for so long, I'm not sure we can even reach the bottom before we run out of breath.
Long-term paying user of Obsidian Sync here. It’s fantastic - more reliable than any other sync service I’ve tried (haven’t tried the one subject of this post) that has to interface with the iOS ecosystem.

Really like the fact that Obsidian itself is free and you charge for native sync (and publishing, which I also use) to support ongoing development of this fantastic editor and ecosystem. Thanks.

That's simply wrong -- this went well beyond HiQ could read.

HiQ's claim is that LI shouldn't be allowed to prevent HiQ from reading data that I had no intention or interest in sharing with HiQ, simply because LI makes it available to other LI users. It's wildly anti-privacy to claim that because I shared data with LI, and LI put some piece of it on the website, that HiQ has a right to read it and use it for arbitrary things.

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Employers and employees still pay when the money is run thru a government payor instead of a non-government heath plan. There is no magic money that appears by changing who cuts the checks to providers.

I’m assuming typo and you mean 4? What model size? As mentioned above, I had serious issues making GGUF work well. I’m gonna post an article talking about a better way to set it up.

Here an example output (I can get different results every regenerate since the question is pretty vague):

Prompt:

Give me an example db query saving to file in json.

Result:

Sure! Here's an example of how you can save a database query result to a JSON file in Python using the sqlite3 module and the json module:

import sqlite3
import json

# Connect to the database
conn = sqlite3.connect("example.db")
cursor = conn.cursor()

# Execute a query that returns a single row
cursor.execute("SELECT \* FROM mytable WHERE id=123")
result = cursor.fetchone()

# Convert the query result to a dictionary
data = {key: value for key, value in result}

# Save the data as a JSON object
with open("output.json", "w") as f:
json.dump(data, f)

This code connects to a SQLite database named example.db, executes a query that retrieves a single row from a table called mytable, converts the resulting tuple into a dictionary, and then saves the dictionary as a JSON object to a file named output.json.
I mean, at the very least, I do this because I make/release things because there's a gap to fill or an itch to scratch. And if I'm releasing something it's because I'm hoping it will be useful to others.

It seems like a natural conclusion to spend a fraction of the energy to author, to detail it's reason to exist.

Anyway, no one owes me anything but I trust that Determinate Systems has a grander vision than I can see, I just want to be clued in, to be honest ;).
A great write-up for an obscure process, But the question consumes me, What does the "DUST SHOOT" do?

It is given a very prominent place in the ui with that amazing aperture icon. If I had to hazard a guess it is a drop pocket used to discard synced items. coupled with some loadwords that no longer exactly make sense in english(american. I know british has dust bins, does anyone call them dust shoots?)

My second thought was to clean the camera sensor, but that makes no sense at all given the device and the era it was in. I mainly mention this because I was laughing at myself for even thinking of it. "Yes we will give an obscure service action only found on professional cameras a beautiful icon, right on the front page of our sync app"
Yes, the Rutherford gold foil experiment was basically where we went from "It's a positive sphere with some electrons stuck in it" to "Oh, looks like there's a super dense positive center and the rest is mostly empty space".

The author of the article is welcome to compute the mass density of the atom's periphery to the nucleus, and return to speculating whether it's fair to argue that the atom is mostly empty space or not.

For myself, I'm happy to refer to ethereal probabalistic cobwebs as "mostly" empty space.

It comes down what you actually want to do. My time spent on the iPad was defined by what I couldn't do, and it was extremely frustrating, I ended up not doing it instead of go getting the laptop from across the house.

Windows is not refined nor optimized for tablet use by any measure, but it actually does the job, instead of showing a cute and extremely refined middle finger half the time.

The breaking point for me was the reader apps, where I'd have a file and just no way to read it, short of taking 10 min on a desktop to somewhat convert it to what the iPad can handle (see below). Since they're also in a pissing match with Amazon, the reading experience is just subpar. What's the point of a simple and elegant interface if I'm still babysitting what's going in there and have to constantly think about work-arounds that also end up clunky and broken ?

> Art and note apps

Adobe suite, ClipStudio etc. are all there, in their actual, professional, full-blown version, and not some compromised "on the go" version. Same for One-note, obsidian etc., there's no lack of them on Windows while it was a fresh market on the iPad.

> ebook reader apps

I think iBooks is the only reader you don't get (is there a web version ? I have no idea).

Granted I buy most of my books on kindle, the in-browser reader works well enough (in the end, I'm full screen turning pages, so makes no difference). I'd argue getting the read the book straight from the page I bought them is pretty great.

I didn't bother with the android subsystem version but it would be an option if there is any limitation on the web part. I also have a bunch of old ebooks and scans from way before there were stores, and of course they were better handled by the windows apps (at some point I was using CloudReader on iOS, and it just disappeared).

> Those business owners are also being exploited by larger businesses

They aren't being "exploited." If they need so desperately to exploit workers, they can and should just go out of business instead. It's that simple. It's called a market and this is how it works. Business owners love to describe themselves as risk-takers but they whine like babies when they have to pay the price. They are dishonest and generally pathetic people in my experience.
I went to China earlier this year.

1. My visa took less than a week. In SF, where the consulate is busier than usual.

2. This is actually better than the last time I was there in 2019. Alipay now supports international credit cards.

3. Very true. Direct flights are rare.

4. It's annoying that even Gmail etc are blocked. VPNs that worked pre-Covid don't work anymore. The only thing that reliably worked was my roaming T-Mobile connection (but slow...)

5. This was always the case at my previous employer. We were issued temporary Chromebooks that were wiped after we returned. This time, I was extra careful and took a burner phone and left my personal phone off till I got to HK.
FWIW this page has also now been deleted.

Not sure your proposed answer is right, but I agree I was hoping for more of an explanation in the article for the US’ unusual position on vacation time.
In this case, the potential employee would be setting the price of their labor and trying to sell that to the employer. While typically the employer does make the offer, it is akin to going to a market and advertising that I(employer) would like to buy tomatoes(labor) for $.50/lb. The seller of tomatoes is still setting the price if they decide to sell.

Only if there is proper regulation, which there is less and less of. Otherwise you end up with price fixing and oligopoly.
They're talking about street names specifically, not traffic signs. What's the point in having a street name that none of the locals know because they know it by a completely different name?

Btw, based on Wikipedia, China uses symbols for traffic signs like Russia and Europe. US and Canada are the exceptions who use text and only a small few symbols.
How to use this or gpt 4 for day to day code? I want to feed my code repo into it and generate/fix/explain code. Is the context windows size going to block me. Has anyone been doing it, with llama 2 models ?
Here - I'll explain it to you (and what atoms and particles and molecules etc... are). They're human abstractions. Particles don't behave like particles because the programmer sat down and thought extremely hard how to create a universe with the best amount of variation and dynamics and complexity using the least amount of resources (i.e. compute power). Instead of modeling individual point particles and their trajectories at each time instance at each point in space - it programmed the universe instead in terms of particle trajectories and their dynamics (i.e. the universe only computes probabilities and probabilistic amplitudes for quantized events). Humans think of this behavior as being modelled as some sort of united 'field' but just like anything else this is also an abstraction. The dynamics and edges are there to make it possible to perform further information compression which plays a vital component in terms of the universe's evolution (i.e. the universe is an infinitely recursive function and the life forms within it are vital in enabling it to perform recursive compression state space transitions and to optimize its own information exchange dynamics).
> There's only one sum of all the proper divisors for any given integer.

This really seems to assume that uniqueness is an implicit property of each integer of such sums. I don't understand how you would know know that or how to discover that other than "you couldn't get the answers we're showing you unless you assumed that".

I can probably provide some perspective on this given I:

- studied Chinese at university in both Australia and China

- worked there for about 5 years

- have a mobile app for learning Chinese [0]

I think the biggest difference between when I started learning (20+ years ago) and now is that China is no longer seen as a positive, growing force in the world economy. I started learning because I thought it would be useful for business in future, and I was probably right - up until around 2012.

Since then, the country became increasingly hostile to foreigners, foreign companies decided to cut their losses and pull out, the internet ecosystem has become worse and worse and visas are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. China doesn't have much in the way of soft power (unlike, say, Korea), so it's just not a top destination for anyone coming from overseas.

That being said, there's also been a huge outflow of Mandarin speakers to other countries (like Australia), and Mandarin is becoming the default second language at junior/primary schools.

Mandarin is always going to be relevant (I mean, there's more than a billion speakers - it's not like they're going to vanish overnight). But I do agree that the language is becoming less "useful", because there are fewer and fewer prospects for working in China. Even international tourism is becoming less and leas attractive.

As bad as advertising in old media was, at least it wasn't a platform of targeted surveillance and psychological manipulation. An advertisement was just an advertisement, you could pay attention to it or not, and your attention if it was noted at all was only noted in aggregate. Your radio or tv didn't know who you are, know where you live, develop complex behavioral profiles on you, record all of your browsing, shopping and communication data, listen in on your with microphones or watch you with cameras.

Google didn't expose the corruption of old media, rather it supplanted it with even deeper and more insidious corruption.
This article has probably the most exact description of both software engineering as a craft and as a problem set that I've yet come across.

If the feat you mean is to perfectly recall disparaging information they see about people on web sites, we already have people with quite good memories. Irrelevance usually keeps them from bringing up the details of strangers' lives on a regular basis. If the juicy details are about friends or acquaintances, well, it's very easy to destroy one's social position - at least, with non-toxic people - by endlessly and tiresomely discussing other people's misfortunes or mistakes.
What is the name of this language authority? I researched and found "Council for German Orthography" and "Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache" (Association for the German Language).

Duden (the standard German dictionary) is the closest I know. And they list "Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätsstörung" (the German word for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) with 44 letters as the longest in the dictionary [1].

But saving lungs is important because alveolar regeneration is currently an impossible technological fantasy and most lung transplant patients die after a few years from organ rejection.

All those transplant stories you heard in 2020 from the alpha/beta forms of covid destroying lungs are either gone now or on their way (or looking at another transplant)

There's still no cure for ARDS/COPD which is a slow death sentence but during my post-covid research when I thought I had permanent severe lung damage I found this one Professor "Robert Stockley" at University Hospital Birmingham who has been testing various things since the 1990s like Vitamin A derivatives (Retinoids) to reverse lung damage. He's found things that work in animals but not humans.
