Wow. It makes sense if I think about it; heat is the primary byproduct and therefore a typical server rack is chock-full of chunks of spinning copper coils and plastic fins. But still... wow.
Real headline: 400M machines have unpatchable hardware bugs caused by Intel's incompetence that have to be destroyed/removed from prod before the end of their intended lifespan; Microsoft considers it a liability to keep those machines in use.
The delayed choice quantum eraser is misunderstood (even by PBS Spacetime) to invoke time travel/retrocausality. The truth is that the pattern seen on the screen is the same whichever set of detectors you send it to, and as such, there is no evidence of time travel.

The more plausible explanation behind the delayed choice quantum eraser involves Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which states that you cannot obtain position and momentum to a high degree of accuracy at the same time. Einstein's EPR paradox "proved" quantum physics incorrect by setting the Uncertainty Principle against Entanglement. He did this by a thought experiment that entangled two particles, and measuring the position of one and the momentum of the other to thwart the Uncertainty Principle.

The delayed quantum choice eraser is a realization of Einstein's thought experiment. However, what Einstein didn't realize was that while the standard double slit experiment produces a pattern at the screen that gives you the momentum information, entangling two particles creates a different pattern at the screen that causes the particles by themselves to give neither momentum nor position information. The delayed quantum choice eraser initially recovers the position information by combining information from both particles, but by choosing the other set of detectors you can "give up" that information to gain the momentum information. Either way, you are still unable to obtain both pieces of information at the same time.

Source: I am writing a book on Quantum Physics and have spent months doing research and finding out that even many quantum physics Youtubers routinely say misinformation. By far the worst is the incorrect idea that a which-way detector on the double slit experiment will produce two bands as if the particles are marble-like. It doesn't, it destroys the interference pattern, producing a single slit pattern. This sounds like a minor detail, but it contains the realization that quantum physics particles ALWAYS act like waves, even after a measurement, and wave-particle duality is a misnomer.

That's a lot of questions ha ha, let me try to answer them:

I have used libp2p a while ago (for another app), at that time libp2p WebRTC was not ready yet. Now that you mention it maybe I should check them out again.

Currently I'm hosting on Vercel. I tried not to put too much thought into making the app 100% secure but rather only secure enough for a "normal" user (making file upload encrypted by default is what I think needed to make IPFS usable for them). There are potential problems that you listed there that may or may not be solved by offering a frozen versions of of this app on IPFS itself. No idea how to solve compromised browser env / hardware. It's really a rabbit hole.

About migration, I will add a simple Python snippet to fetch the files so you don't have to visit the site.

Multi-user access: I think the hard part is to allow revoking access. Once someone has successfully decrypted and read the file, they already can download and keep a copy of it. So the only thing I could do is to stop them from continuing accessing the file through ThirdCloud services (maybe just by revoking a particular share key). The tech you are doing seems to be about signaling nodes to revoke the share keys (or more like "revoking by default" - only give access after checking back with your main node)?

Have not thought much about UI/UX. I just like the fact that my files now are now 100% not locked down (while still being super convenient to access). Remind me of the time when I keep an offline collection of mp3 songs and can upload them to different mp3 players (but now I don't have to upload because it's already in the cloud). Maybe letting ThirdCloud having an extension ecosystem is the path?

This is such narrow thinking. What matters is building capable EV infrastructure for all EVs, and that means going beyond 250 kW.

Teslas are mid-range when it comes to charging. Other EVs are faster and need not be limited by what Teslas can achieve.

Hospitals aren't optimizing for average health of patients. They're trying to get the best minimum performance, not the best overall performance.

Injuring most patients by depriving them of sleep for no good reason is felt to be justified by the chance of catching an extremely urgent problem in time to do something about it once or twice over the lifetime of the hospital.

An example of this with a lot of popular misunderstood awareness is the idea that you shouldn't sleep if you have a concussion. Preventing the patient from sleeping is detrimental to their health; it inhibits healing.

The reason hospitals do it is that their way of diagnosing whether the concussion patient has just experienced a catastrophic complication is to talk to them and see whether they are capable of producing normal language. This diagnostic mode is not available if the patient is asleep. So the patient isn't allowed to sleep.
It'd be worth taking publicly available citation network data and developing a metric based on long term (say 25y) significance vs short term. Anyone who understands how to 'play the game' can make an impact over a 5-10y period, but people who actually change the game will stand out, as would their collaborators to a lesser extent.

Playwright is great, phantom.js was great back in the day.

But this is interesting to me, because Deno is a much more ergonomic, quick-to-start environment for simple tasks like "go to this website and scrape this data once an hour, and provide the latest results via a simple HTTP GET / web page".

I sometimes do that with Playwright, and it's easy, but I feel like it could be done with Deno in the time it takes to init an NPM project and get everything installed.
Not a tangent at all! https://gitlab.com/fedora/ostree/ci-test/ is the current location of the composed images we derive from.

It would be extremely useful.

24 hour blood pressure monitoring is the gold standard. Samples blood pressure every 15 minutes regardless of what the patient is doing. Even during sleep. Wearing the equipment is pretty annoying so it's not done routinely. Better, more comfortable wearables with higher sampling rates would be great.
Wise has recently made a big batch of account verifications which overwhelmed their verifications staff and support both and left a company we do in Austria unable to do payroll. That was fun. Of course we moved that company elsewhere (in this case xe) and my brother moved his personal to Starling in the UK.

Then they changed the US accounts with three weeks notice and I am like, you can't do this on such a short notice, WTF, I have outstanding invoices now need to be wired elsewhere, this is a gigantic mess. I completely expect at least one partner to screw this up in November, can't wait. Perhaps I should've moved this company to xe as well but I am exhausted.

Why can't we have nice things. (And please, do not recommend Revolut, look up their 2021 audit and the lack of 2022 accounts, so far. Not touching that. If and when they can convince the brits they are gucci I will take a look, not until.)
The device they are using to measure the horse's blood pressure is the stuff of nightmares.
> This is how you spell 'genocide'.

Ok, that's just silly. The legal definition of genocide(1) is actions, like violence, with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. The types of groups that are protected are intentionally limited. There are lots of types of groups that are clearly not protected in the legal definition of genocide.

Hamas are a group of genocidal terrorists who are both a political party - not a protected group - and a military force - also not a protected group. Hamas's founding charter called for the extermination of Jews, a protected religious group. The idea that you can't destroy a group of genocidal terrorists is ludicrous, no different to how we don't call it genocide when criminal gangs get rounded up and arrested regardless of how many gang members are involved.

It wasn't genocide when 5 million German soldiers were killed in WW2. The Nazis aren't a protected group, and it was a good thing that the Nazis were destroyed as a group. Hamas is no different.

The article really could use a picture. If I understand correctly you can get a parabolic shape if you have a stretchy film over ring and apply a pressure differential.
The spherical balloon functions as the support ring for an internal reflective third layer. If both halves of the balloon are inflated to equal pressure the reflective layer is flat, but by changing the pressure in both halves the layer takes on a parabolic shape.
Smart watch blood glucose monitoring would be a game changer.

No, it's spherical. Instead of a transceiver placed in the focal point, they use array of min. 3 transceivers. It will definitely not have the same gain of a parabolic of similar size, but it will be more flexible about where the target it aims at must be. They are advertising it not for communication from fixed point to fixed point, but rather between vehicles that are continously moving, where a less directional solution will be an advantage.

Why? Are they afraid of people emptying their minibar and leaving without paying after wetting their bedsheets?
I'm trying to interpret how this comment relates to the thread above but not clear to me.

I was stating that the "character of a neighborhood" is a very tangible thing that has value to people (I don't mean value in dollars, but value in that they enjoy it and want to live there). That character attracted them to move there. So it is value that can be destroyed by greatly changing the character. There's no value accruing here, it's value being destroyed.

For example I know of a few people who moved to a quiet street, very walkable and had nearly zero traffic so it was great for kids & pets and strolling around.

A couple decades later that quiet no-traffic street had turned into a six lane avenue, with their front lawns right on the edge of that. The character of the neighborhood sure was changed and its value was destroyed to everyone who had chosen to live there precisely because it was quiet and had no traffic.

One thing I have started doing is using a VPN with the location set to my home location 100% of the time when home. Then, when logging in abroad I use the VPN to my home location.

It seems that using the VPN 100% of the time has trained many of these smart services to fingerprint that as my default fingerprint.

Of course, this doesn't help when interacting with services that detect/block VPNs. Or the even more annoying situation where VPNs are blocked and also all traffic from the country you are in is also blocked (occurs occasionally when trying to access US sites from SE Asia)

edit: WRT comments mentioning that you can call your bank or set a travel notice: that is how things used to work. Chase, for example, no longer lets you set a travel notice as they use a "smart" automated system. That said, my Chase travel card used via apple/android pay has never given me trouble so their system does seem better than most
I'm guessing that Aquaman -- would respectfully disagree with that assessment! :-) <g> :-)

But humor aside, an interesting question might be:

Why is frequency -- such a fundamental component of Physics?

What is the first principle or first principles -- that gives rise to frequency?

We might step back a step, and say (and or observe) that waves and wave-like phenomena are present in many aspects of this Universe -- both seen and unseen.

So do waves give rise to frequency -- or is it the other way around, does frequency give rise to waves?

We see both phenomena present in the concept of energy -- energy of all sorts.

We also see the concept of imbalance -- over half a wave cycle, and balance (or rebalance, if you will) over a full one...

Which is in turn connected to the concept of vibration, oscillation, repetition and reversal (over a period of time, aka periodicity)...

So, frequency is not profound?

It seems to be intricately, intricately connected to a whole bunch of physical phenomena -- that are indeed profound!

But that being said (and to agree with you!) -- no it probably won't give you psi powers or expand your mind any more than the frequency of ocean waves will.

(Unless of course you somehow happen to be Aquaman! <g> :-) <g>)

I believe smartphones have completely destroyed most people’s ability to be bored. Whenever anyone has an opportunity for boredom, they pick up their phone.

Oftentimes it has even moved up the priority above the bottom — boredom — and even taken precedence over other leisure activities like reading, TV, or just sitting and talking. For many, it’s even close to the top, trumping work and other responsibilities. So boredom certainly stands no chance.

If people actually try and sit with just their thoughts, staring out into nature or the walls of their home, they become anxious, like an addict that can’t get their fix.

I appreciate many of the modern conveniences that come with smartphones, but I often miss the days before them.

> Therein lies the rub (or more precisely the problem) advertising at its core does _NOT_ have to be evil.

Interestingly, I agree that it doesn't have to be evil, but in practice it is, so close to 100% of the time that the exceptions are actually not worth discussing.
