I’m stuck on how it is known that the quantum analog is operating the same as what it is an analog of. I’m completely out of my depth so I fed the paper to Claude 2 and, after some back and forth, got this:

“You raise a good point. There is no absolute certainty that the analog quantum system operated in exactly the same way as the original chemical reaction dynamics it was meant to model. Some key caveats and limitations include:

- The analog system is still an approximation, so there may be small differences in how the dynamics play out compared to the real system.

- Mapping a complex molecular system onto qubits necessarily requires simplifications and abstractions that could influence the outcomes.

- Factors like experimental errors, imperfect state preparation or measurement in the trapped ion system may introduce discrepancies.

- Important details like multi-particle interactions or higher-order effects may not be fully captured.

- Verification that the analog system exhibits the same identifying signatures or phenomena as the natural system would strengthen confidence in the analogy.

So while the researchers aim to design the quantum analog to faithfully mimic the essential physics, perfect equivalence cannot be taken for granted due to modeling approximations and technological limitations. The mapping should be validated by testing for characteristic properties before concluding the slow-motion "observations" definitively represent the original phenomenon. With improvements, analog quantum simulation could provide increasingly accurate models of chemistry.”

Is this a reasonably well grounded statement? And if so, how can anybody hope to verify the analog is exhibiting “the same identifying signatures or phenomena as the natural system” if the whole point is that we can’t observe the natural system with any precision to start with?

We have been running a large multi-TB PostgreSQL database on ZFS for years now. ZFS makes it super easy to do backups, create test environments from past snapshots, and saves a lot of disk space thanks to built-in compression.

It's cool to see how the Thai government has used food / restaurants as a form of diplomacy. This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W09QCLmnCUU) elaborates more but the ratio of Thai Americans to Thai restaurants is high (300k pop. to 5k restaurants) because of Thai government efforts.

I grew up in a predominantly white midwestern US city and even we had a lot of Thai restaurants, maybe even more than Chinese or Indian. People really liked pad kee mao, pad see ew but Pad kaphrao never seemed to catch on (no product market fit haha).

It'll be interesting to see if these efforts will actually make the dish more popular - from its base ingredients (ground meat, rice, basil, and egg) it definitely seems like something Americans could get behind
Unfair, but the practical solution.
I would probably recommend this to new users. I don't generally recommend starter kits because it defeats the real purpose of emacs which is to hack it. But this one seems to just get over the initial barrier of it looking ugly by default which enables happy hacking more quickly. I like it! (And isn't Emacs 29 great?!)

Btw, one thing that probably all starter kits should do is disable JIT compilation warnings:

`(setq native-comp-async-report-warnings-errors 'silent)`

Maybe JIT-enabled builds aren't generally available right now, but once they are this default would scare a lot of new users right off the bat.

In California, we see a variety of policies operating in concert to restrict housing supply. Tokyo is also a desirable place to live but they've managed housing affordability there much better. In California you have all of the following operating together to restrict housing supply:

* Property tax policy that strongly favors not selling and not renovating;

* Numerous private rights of action that people can bring against new developments;

* State and municipal agencies with a wide variety of rules available to them that can serve as a basis for obstructing new developments;

* Large areas of the state that have been declared "open space" by various towns and cities.
Being the first in the world to offer up some product or service you've come up with is not the only path to entrepreneurship. In fact, on a risk-adjusted expected-value basis, it may not even be a particularly smart way of going about getting there.

An alternative is to take something that has been tried and tested elsewhere that's not easy to move from place to place, and just go to a place where there's high potential demand and not yet any supply, and offer it there.

The picture in my mind is: There's this guy dreaming about becoming a billionaire by setting up "tinder for pets", but now he can't do that. His problems are: There are no high-profile speakers at local tech conferences, internet connections at cafes suck, and grocery stores do not carry his favourite caffeinated beverage.

So, why not do that? Invite some high-profile speakers to local tech conferences. Partner with local cafes to provide better internet. Set up a distribution channel for a caffeinated beverage. If that's the situation he's in, there's a pretty good chance that any of that is probably a more useful thing to do than "tinder for pets".

Mass migrations are ripe with economic opportunity, it's just a different kind of economic opportunity.

Sure, it's definitely not the same. I would not think of someone not believing the most extreme predictions to be a skeptic.

What I call climate change skeptics are people playing into the well-known playbook of industries being attacked by research into the harm to inflict on society: tobacco, "forever chemicals", etc, and today also climate change.

The science behind climate change is generally sound, even if we have unknowns and things yet to research, we know two important things: climate is changing, and human activities are causing it.

Some people however are ideologically biased against questioning the status quo. The industry put into question is at the core of our models, it's impacting every facet of modern life in developed countries.

Some political parties are counting on this, so you have had propaganda for 20 years in the US ridiculing environmental efforts, highlighting the most unhinged voices to disparage the effort as a whole, and people generally well educated that should know better, are following suite. The website posted by the OP of this thread is a literal example of such rhetoric.

I see this on Hacker News at least, so many people seemingly too afraid of words like 'degrowth' not to conjure scary strawmans (going back to the dark ages), instead of asking the tough questions of how we are going to get through this.

I just find ridiculous how so many people are too happy to lean into their bias, I find it cowardly and unreasonable.

Checked this for Finland. I doubt the two top are correct associations.

Kallio does not always refer to person, but is word for visible rock in ground or in mountain. Same goes for kivi which is also a rock. These are for reason common enough surnames. With some famous people associated with them.

So I could guess there is same issue in also other places.

Is there more traffic in Austin than in LA or SF? I would be surprised if that were true...
AWS, GCP and ilk make up a minority of traffic on the internet due to their pricing. Charging for peering is generally the sign of powerful Telecom firms abusing natural monopolies to profiteer off their username by adding troll tools like this.

P2P, video streaming from providers like Netflix that run their own networks and traffic from server vendors like OVH, Hetzner and such form the majority of traffic due to the low cost of data transfer and thus low barrier to usage.

Indian ISPs aren't going to be able to influence peering outside India, beyond hurting their own connectivity to the majority of the web, ostracizing themselves to being poorly peered like China.

Domestically, charging your peers for network traffic that was requested by your customers is apt to squash local peering, similar to the shenanigans you see in Canada where the large ISPs only peer outside of Canada, exposing most Canadian internet traffic to foreign interception and a significant latency penalty needlessly.

I agree with the principle that we need to stop flinching away from stating this kind of thing, but am unsure if it's actually true that it's ME and Africa for this specific type of antisocial behavior.

Checking out the "offences by outcome" uk gov spreadsheet[1] is a bit of a wash. Africans aren't any more overrepresented than they are for violent crime in general (less, in fact) and Middle Easterners seem to be lurking in the giant bag of "Not Stated" ethnicity. Though at least for assault of emergency workers in general (as opposed to predictable group attacks on entering an area) "White British" are still (barely) the majority.

> Look at what he wrote on Russian invasion of Ukraine :)

Just let yourself think about what his counterparts in US were saying. That Russia would collapse and Putin's oppresionist government is going to be overthrown by protestors? Don't you see that what we get is Putin's approval rating a historic high?

And nobody in US wants to be seen as "weak on Russia".

Only now there is more people who start saying clearly that the war is not going to stop, it is going to last number of years, and impratant bit, Ukraine is going to be completely destroyed in the process. And what Ukrainian people are going to get in return? EU membership? Western valus? Freedom?

Once you get this, the whole narrative people like Chomsky are proposing, that in 2004 this, in 2008 that, can be seen in a new light. You can read "The Art of Diplomacy" by Francois de Callieres, about 17th century european politics, which is talking about how to do international relations. Really helpful to see that this situation in Ukraine is not new - in other words, what is happening now could be forseen before the war broke out.

ps. I know quite a few Ukrainians very well who escaped the war, many from the demolished easter cities. And it didn't even cross my mind to tell them that I oppose anything Ukraine is doing atm.

I had one of these. (and a 230, and a 100. I liked small).

The localtalk/serial port was not well attached, so if it was used much (like, pluggin in an external modem over and over) it would get loose and detach from the board.

The ethernet dock was super fast (for 10bT) in my recollection, possibly because of the PDS attachment. Never had a full sized dock, or to my recollection, ever plugged a floppy into one of my machines.

The keyboard wasn't as bad as the 230, but it's not good either. On the other hand, the 140/170 series had unbelievably good keyboards.

Compared to other machines of the time, they were a complete pain to disassemble to replace parts. I think I did memory and a modem at one point. The only worse one I can recall is replacing the keyboard on a unibody MBP.
> They can then pay a daily subscription of around 255 Kenyan shillings (about $2) which repays the outstanding balance and gives drivers access to battery-swap stations, where they can quickly switch out depleted batteries for fully charged ones.

Yeah, hard pass. That's not gonna work. Why does everything have to be a subscription nowadays? Did no one read cyberpunk novels?
And they don't need to – Electron tooling can cross-compile just fine nowadays. Of course, to test it you do have to have access to the platform, but even an untested release would be nice.

(That said, I'd probably release it as a webapp instead – unless there's some native code involved, and even that probably could be compiled as Wasm.)

Edit: looked into it, seems they are using a Go executable as the core of the app, which means a naive port (drop app.asar into Electron package for another platform) isn't an option here but it still should be pretty easy to port.

well my intention was not to trivialize the effort. I think i was trying to ask an architecture question:
if you were to build something like Cuber...would you build it over Argocd ? or build it entirely from the ground up.

It would still take equal amount of effort probably, but you get the benefit of a larger ecosystem and more work on the underlying infra, while you can focus entirely on the abstractions.
"THREAD: This is harrowing. Saudi Arabia wanted the names of 6000 anonymous Arab Spring dissidents from Twitter. At first, MBS tried to get their names using EDRs - requests under emergency circumstances. When that proved cumbersome, KSA basically bought Twitter. 1/

They did so by threatening to pull twitter out of their market (biggest in the Middle East) and by offering to invest in heavily in Twitter. They also positioned two spies inside Twitter who helped funnel the personal information on dissidents out of Twitter to KSA. 2/

In 2011, they invested $300M. In 2022, MBS bought that investment for $1.5B, worth $1.9B later that year, making KSA (The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) the biggest shareholder of Twitter behind Elon Musk. 3/

The two KSA spies inside Twitter INFORMED Twitter that the personally identifying information they were gathering was for the Saudi Government. One received money and gifts from the KSA in exchange for the user data including $300K and a nice job after he fled the US. 4/

Not only that, but the KSA oversaw a digital army of hundreds of Twitter users who hunted for dissident voices, and Twitter KNEW because the FBI confronted Twitter about it in 2015. 5/

Then, within 48 hours of the FBI visit to Twitter, the social media company acknowledged they had "found" the leak to the FBI - proving they knew. The next day, the spy fled the US. 6/

Six months later, Jack Dorsey met with MBS to discuss how they could work together to "train and qualify" Saudi groups on Twitter to do the very same work the two spy employees had done. And just 8 months prior to that meeting, KSA doubled its investment in Twitter. 7/

Once KSA had recruited Twitter, it plotted to kidnap, disappear, and murder multiple dissident voices including the plaintiff's brother, and Jamal Khashoggi. The transnational criminal enterprise of threats to anonymous Twitter dissidents continues to this day. 8/

I recommend you read this lawsuit to understand WHY the KSA and MBS own the second largest chunk of Twitter behind Elon Musk. How involved is Musk? I keep thinking of the photos from the World Cup with Kushner and MBS. What's Kushner's involvement? He just got $2B from MBS. 9/

I agree, the turning point for me was the vitamin sponsor video.
I don’t think it means you work a full day, but that you bill a minimum of a full day for any weekend work.

A while back I worked at a consultancy that typically billed using a 15-minute granularity during standard office hours, reasonably rounded up/down. Unless otherwise contracted, outside of office hours the granularity increased to 1 hour rounded up. A 5 minute fix would be billed as an hour, a 65 minute fix as 2 hours, etc. It was also only undertaken for emergencies; general work requests would be done the next business day.

Generally all contracts were budgeted some number of hours per billing cycle per service. N full-time engineers would be converted to an equivalent amount of hours for the budget.

The result was that overtime was used judiciously and clients were rarely insisted on pushing big changes near the end of a day or on Fridays.

Some hobbies I've had in the past:

* Woodworking

* Piano

* Videography/video editing

* Drawing

* Martial arts

* Running

But the best advice I have for you is to accept that your interests will change, often suddenly. Try to avoid spending a large amount of money to get started in your hobby (don't buy a brand new top of the line camera, borrow an old one). Try to look for small pockets of success inside the bigger hobby so that you can think "I learned a song" instead of "I never learned piano". Try to leave your hobbies in a way that you can pick them back up again. Keep a few notes and information about what you were doing with the hobby so that if the interest strikes you can get going again quickly. If you got some tools/equipment, keep hold of it in a box/container that keeps it all together.

this is honestly hard because many of the decisions that matter are not things you type into zfs at all (except incidentally).

Have you looked into a bike fit? It's quite a common problem, and setting up your bike differently could help you relieve some pressure at hot spots. For instance shortening the stem could give you a more upright position and less weight on your arms. A wider or narrower handlebar could alter the angle of your wrists (on a road bike). Etc. etc., many things to look into, depending on what the cause is.

I bought a cheap HP Microserver with four 4 TB spinning disks that I placed at a relatives house ~1000 km from where I live. I do nightly replication to the off-site location, with an account on the receiving end that only has enough permissions to create snapshots and receive data, so even if that ssh key somehow got out in the wild things could not be deleted from the remote store. I hope :)
