It's all about bandwidth. Pictures are nice but command and control are vital, so more bandwidth is given over to that.

The bandwidth depends upon the power levels, antenna size, signal strength and the noise level. See the Shannon-Hartley theorem for details.

This means from a small lander on the moon all the way back to earth the bandwidth is small. Sure put a big camera on there, but it'll take weeks to send one picture in its entirety. The Indian lander only has like 2 weeks of life total.

I think we do have the capability if wanted, it just does not make economical sense.

Basically we'd need to filter the gases injected to the process to guard against contaminants, which would cost a lot. So it's just cheaper to recycle old steel.
the tables agree that microseconds are supported by both standards, but for some reason the Venn Diagram only displays 6-digit fractional seconds under ISO8601. This led me to do some head-scratching until I referenced the table, which seems a lot more comprehensive.

This is extremely cool and useful overall, but unfortunately the Venn Diagram seems to be slightly misleading.
It is the teacher's responsibility to evaluate any materials they present to students. If they are given an output they interpret to be pornographic, they decide whether to provide it or not to students. I imagine it is possible that you might determine something to be pornographic that a given teacher may not. Pornography is an interpretation, which varies culturally and politically. Regardless, it is definitely not my responsibility to prove what ChatGPT will provide whatsoever, I don't work for OpenAI.

BJJ is great. I wrestled folkstyle in high school, and then transitioned to BJJ and submission wrestling as an adult. It's a ton of fun and a great workout. Can't recommend highly enough.

I only got out of it because of a combination of A. lack of time, and B. injuries (note: the injuries were more from mountain biking than from BJJ, but I did tear a hip adductor muscle once in BJJ training).

> In other words: you don't need to simulate any physics to prevent a mind from differentiating.

But if your simulator is not simulating physics... what is it simulating? The mind? If you are simulating a human brain, that IS a physics simulation, and it is probably on the harder side of the scale, so we cannot readily assume it's going to be easy or fast. And if you are running some different kind of mind based on an abstract neural network or something like that, well, it's not a simulated mind, it's just a mind.
> Guys in tech making 300+k a year whining about how it's so hard to afford just the basics in America. Also with wives with great careers.

I suppose it depends where you live, whether you own your own home, and how many kids you've popped out. I paid off my house in 5 years while making maybe 65k$/year on average, and with that out of the way, my current ~120k$/year provides enough that I find it difficult to invest fast enough (ADHD brain would rather be writing lisp interpreters than picking stonks).

Do I worry about money? Sure. Health insurance costs could go up, I could lose my job, my kid could take up some expensive hobbies, like wanting to go to college someday.

I realize I was pretty lucky to find a decent and steady (if underpaying) programming job a year after leaving college with no debt (inexpensive state college, parents paid for most of it), to time my decision to buy a house well (thanks for the free 8k$, Obama!), and to have the financial sense to pay that shit off ASAP. So I'm sympathetic to people making the same or less than me who have more debt or who have less fortunate family to support. But it's hard for me to imagine how someone making 300k$/year would have anything to complain about! Tech bros can work remotely, now. Get tf out of San Francisco and stop buying a 15$ latte every morning.

Woodworking - It started when someone on my work slack posted an image of an arcade machine they had made. I thought "I want one of those". So I borrowed a circular saw and made one. Then I was hooked. Now I'm doing lots of home improvements, such as building a coffee bar and converting an unused area into a pantry. I'm currently building some shop furniture, then I'll be converting an unused cupboard near our entry way into a mud room.

The two downsides are:
* It's easy to want to buy all the shiniest tools, which are expensive
* I don't want to buy furniture anymore, I want to make it. But there just aren't enough hours in the day.

I took a tour with the Corps of Engineers earlier this week at a dam on the Snake River. Apparently it isn't that difficult to get a tour, which I recommend to any member of the public. My politics are very progressive, but like so many issues, the dams have been reduced to sound bytes rather than comprehensive understanding.

I came away with an even greater feeling that this is a topic too complicated to just take a side, but rather the best possible outcomes happen when stakeholders work together. We need the fish, the energy, the irrigation, the flood control, and the ease of barge-based agricultural transportation. There is serious effort put into protecting wildlife (IE: fish) with very, very good outcomes. I think it's easy to assume that the pro-dam crowd is anti-environment, which couldn't be farther from the truth.

What really solidified for me this week is that these dams have a defined lifetime. Many are reaching the end of that lifetime, but the technology to replace them with something else isn't really there yet. Given the net benefit and the massive costs of replacement, it's very clear to me we are better letting them run their natural lives rather than removing prematurely. As each reaches a point where it is no longer viable, that is when and where we should consider other options.

Something I haven't seen discussed anywhere, but to me is almost obvious - these various wave generators we see in discussion for off-shore use. Is there a way that technology can be used in the Columbia, Snake, etc without the need for a dam? At the same time too often in these discussions there are other issues overlooked - like how much Washington / Oregon wheat goes down the river on barges that would otherwise be tractor trailers on the highways. Lots of problems to solve.
I really take issue with describing this as some sort of well documented absolute fact that education is about labor. It isn’t the 1850s! Just because capitalists interested in skilled labor were “some of” the biggest supporters of English public schools in the 1850s doesn’t mean we should forever commit our society to their designs.

From the Marxist paper backing that article:

England initiated a sequence of reforms in its education system since the 1830s and literacy rates gradually increased. The process was _initially motivated by a variety of reasons_ such as religion, enlightenment, social control, moral conformity, socio-political stability, and military efficiency, as was the case in other European countries (e.g., Germany, France, Holland, Switzerland) that had supported public education much earlier.15 However, in light of the modest demand for skills and literacy by the capitalists, the level of governmental support was rather small.16
In the second phase of the Industrial Revolution, consistent with the proposed hypothesis, the demand for skilled labor in the growing industrial sector markedly increased (Cipolla 1969 and Kirby 2003) and the proportion of children aged 5 to 14 in primary schools increased from 11% in 1855 to 25% in 1870 (Flora et al. (1983)).17

Sorry if I sound challenging or rude - just hurts my soul to imagine people giving in to the capitalist’s desire for us to interpret our prison as a fact of nature
I'm not going to praise an outcome that's clearly suboptimal, but "that's interesting" still beats beating them over the head with "well, I'm always scrupulously honest, I don't care about anybody's feelings, your stuff sucks".

There's always effort-based praise if you want to praise.
Well, only if it is a lie. The example is a hypothetical story so we can read into it whatever we want.

There are ways to like someone’s work, even if you don’t think it’s complete or optimal.

For example, I think a huge part of getting a job done is just having someone take initiative and at least try, as opposed to waiting for someone else to start them off.

The line might mean “I’m glad you started us down this road…”
The person alleged to have owned the mine apparently does not think it's a rumor

"Well, according to Errol Musk, the unsurprisingly eccentric — and in one major way, extremely creepy — father of Elon, the mine definitely exists. And come to think of it, he'll take that Dogecoin, thanks!

"When I read that, I wondered, 'Can I enter, because I can prove it existed," Errol told The Sun in a new interview, referring to his son's Dogecoin tweet. "Elon knows it's true. All the kids know about it."

Simple moderation of a newsgroup on Usenet approximated running a mail list: known users (like list subscribers) could post anything to the newsgroup, while messages from unknown users would be diverted into something like a mail spool,
and, if approved by a moderator, would be posted to the newsgroup. A moderator
could add or remove users (email addresses) from the known users list. Complaints about known user posting behavior could be directed to a moderator,
who might or might not take action. Multiple moderators are possible, see the "STUMP" software mentioned in the Reg article.

Attempts to "retro-moderate" previously posted messages by using the NNTP cancel
mechanism were only widely effective in the very early 1980s, and rapidly became problematic due to disagreements, forgery, and vandalism.

Also, the “composed of two up quarks and one down quark” is a dramatic simplification, kinda sorta like saying that the valence electrons of an atom are the only electrons.

“Fig. 3: A more realistic, though still imperfect, image of protons and neutrons as full of quarks, anti-quarks and gluons, moving around at high speed. More precisely, a proton consists of two up quarks and a down quark plus many gluons (g) plus many quark/anti-quark pairs (u, d, s stand for up, down and strange quarks; anti-quarks are marked with a bar.) The edge of a proton or neutron is not sharp. Ignore the color-coding for now; it will become clearer in future articles.”

Music is a fantastic option. I've always loved listening but didn't dig into it for a long time. I imagined myself getting into synthesizers and DAWs and figured I didn't need another hobby that keeps me at the workbench or computer. During the pandemic I decided to buy a bass guitar and it turns out there is something to these analog instruments after all. A key part of it for me was intentionally avoiding electronics like pedals or obsessing over amps and pickups. Being able to grab an acoustic and play some tunes around the firepit has been great.
I share your view on this. I guess it all hinges on whether AGI is possible and if so then how fast is it coming. If we won't achieve AGI then education is still necessary to push knowledge further and since we don't know who is going to achieve this it makes sense (right now) to still push education for all as social obligation.
> Such a meta-proof must be done on pen and paper, before any code is written at all.

Not so fast; it could be done on a _different automated system_ (say, a smaller one) than the one you're building, in which case you're now relying on that system's correctness. Or it could even not be proven at all. This is not too different from what mathematicians do when they (often) say "assuming P != NP", or "assuming GRH", or "assuming FLT", etc etc. It's simply that it's worth being careful and precise.

The 486 is a 32-bit CPU, like the 386 before it. Doom’s official minimum system requirement was a 486/66MHz.
($9 x 2 lines) + ($2 x 1GB) = $20 + $sales_tax = ~$21

To be clear, the minimum increment one can purchase is 1 GB.

We're in a bit of a weird situation where we aren't in the US the majority of the time, so most months we don't use any data off our US plan.

If we do end up in the US then that bit of code keeps buying us more data 1GB at a time as needed.

Another cool thing is that our USMobile eSIM uses the 4G data from our local eSIM so that we can still make/receive calls/SMS on our US line from anywhere. It treats the local 4G like WiFi Calling. Pretty dope.
Don’t do this. Ask for consent. It isn’t hard.
Exponential means 2^N, not N^2. Also, notice that every proton and neutron is really three quarks, so its at least 2^84 times harder than a hydrogen atom.

Just having the infrastructure in place where employees can review managers is huge. At most places I've worked, this was not the case, and there was no process in place for employees to provide feedback on management. It was in fact frowned upon; the hierarchy was top down by design.

I was wondering that as well since Wolfenstein got a CGA port: https://github.com/jhhoward/WolfensteinCGA

The CGA mode is playable, but pretty bad looking as would be expected. It looks much better with the Tandy graphics mode enabled. It'd be cool to be able to run Doom on my Tandy 1000 as well.
Pretty much. The lawful flow of antiquities almost entirely ceased when the UNESCO 1970 Convention came into effect in 1972. Even stuff that was lawfully excavated and exported prior to then often has sketchy documentation showing provenance or no documentation at all. Thus, the standards for provenance documentation are low and easily taken advantage of by people peddling looted antiquities with fabricated documentation.

Yes, sometimes institutions will deaccession antiquities with impeccable provenance going back to when it was taken from the ground, verifiable through catalogs and other records held by third parties. That's not most of the market.
I am working on the kernel right now, the code is very pleasant (as far as C code goes) to work with.

The problem with ISO 8601 is that it isn't properly implementable. Anything except Zulu time is basically broken.

The tz database is updated on average every two months, and that doesn't happen without reason. Countries keep changing their timezones, and a rather high-profile one is the European Union's plan to get rid of DST over the next few years. This is already happening in Greenland this year. Some Muslim-majority countries also like to make their DST depend on Ramadan - which falls on a different and somewhat unpredictable date every year.

Like it or not, if your code uses future dates and does not rely on "Europe/London"-style timezones, you will be slowly corrupting your data.
Possibly; this assumes that our current calendar's epoch holds, that humanity is still around, that computing systems are still around, and legacy software from 8,000 years past is still kicking people in the butt.

Given that electronic computing has only existed since approximately the 1930s, it's probably premature to worry about what will happen 8,000 years from now.
Rock climbing. I always did sport when I was younger (gymnastics, martial arts etc). Then moved to a different country and lost the habit (despite I've kept myself in good shape because of doing calisthenics at home). A year and a half ago, a friend of mine insisted me on give it a try to climbing with him in an indoor gym and oh, boy, I got absolutely hooked to it. A good side effect is that it made me to pursue enjoyment in life. It made me realise that work is not the main thing in life.

> the same probability that seven billion people collectively hallucinated elementary theory

Just for fun, it's not unprecedented that the entire human race is disposed to mislearn basic truths about the universe which have to be unlearned when you get to the point where it matters. See quantum mechanics.

One hopes that conscientious mathematicians are careful to select axiomatizations (such as ZF set theory or the type system of Lean) which faithfully reflect reality. And, within such a system, we can be extremely confident in what we're doing. But the distinct possibility remains that the axiomatization doesn't actually match our universe and, say, admits a proof of false or implies something not physically realizable, such as that a certain computation should terminate, when no real life physical machine obeying the laws of physics can ever do so.
