As far as I know, just like matter and energy, information density can also contribute to a black hole.

A real number has infinite precision, so even a single particle with a real number position or weight, would have infinite information and create a black hole.

Would that be a valid reasoning to say why it can't be real numbers?

I would expect the same democratic processes which keep the tax rate below 100% and balance zoning restrictions to limit the downsides there, and that’s more of an option than we’re seeing in areas where private equity funds have been buying up enough land to shift the market in their favor.

I mean, real numbers certainly do exist mathematically. They're not very difficult to rigorously construct, so I can see why your tutor would be bewildered by the statement.

Whether or not they're a good description of coordinates in spacetime is a pretty separate matter.
A few years ago I worked for a few months with a machine learning team at Google that was using OpenCV. At least at the prototype phase.

The entire $500k donation they're looking for here would have been basically 1 or 1.5 SWE salary.

So yes, there's definitely something wrong with the compensation and financing model of open source infrastructure. And now that the market is contracting, and VC and BigCorp money isn't flowing as freely, people are finally starting to bitch about it, instead of just being happy that a) their projects are being used and b) that that is leading to job opportunities etc.

"but if you make more than X amount of money or have X amount of employees then you have to pay X amount in licensing fees" -- sad to say, projects with licenses like this would be immediately blacklisted at places like Google. Not just for use, but for Googlers to contribute to. And because of the motivation economy in OSS right now, someone else would just fill the niche.

Even the GPL is controversial to these companies (and to many people on this forum, in fact).

We need to name and shame BigCorps that are using and exploiting the very generous and liberal nature of Apache-style licensed projects without (majorly) contributing back.
Anecdotally, it was at around 15 (maybe a little before) that me and my friends became more interested in physical fitness/doubled down on sports/etc. which led to more female attention. So yeah, maybe a little more of a bake-in period would have been good.
Corporations could donate in a way that benefits them. For example, Intel contributes a lot of code to the Linux kernel. Presumably they are at least partially contributing stuff that makes it run better on their chips. But lots of people run Linux on Intel chips. And while working on stuff that benefits Intel, their engineers are probably going to do other ancillary tasks that could be helpful. So it seems like a win-win.

It should be socially acceptable for open source programs to offer the deal: we’ll consider patches from your engineers, but in exchange you have to chip in enough to support one of ours (to keep working on stuff we find interesting), and a little bit more (need some engineer-hours to review your patches).

It sounds quite biased in favor of the project at first, but if the project is popular, the company could get quite a bit out of it.
The arguments aren't even that good...?

Tons of people use condenser microphones without any problems and that doesn't make it bad.

What is "meh"? It doesn't give any comparisons, I've listened to a few tests of it and it sounds fine?

> It comes with a built in stand and people just put it on their desk instead of getting it close to their mouth and using it like an actual microphone.

Again, I've listened to people testing it and it sounds fine on a desk? And the mic itself is bad because of people not using it properly...?

The mic is fine for ~$80 and the alternatives listed are pretty stupid too?

The "best replacement" is $250 so significantly more expensive and the "budget option" also comes with a stand... so it's bad too then? And well, the last option is $400+$145+$135=$680

I agree with the article and really appreciate that Brothers aren't generally enshittified. However, that doesn't mean they can't be shit. I switched away from them a while back but every printer is potentially shit.

Brother shit: a multifunction printer they had fed the paper differently and usually poorly from the manual feed slot. If you opened the paper tray, it loudly alarmed for three full seconds, classically conditioning me to avoid using it.

A brother laser printer said it was out of toner. Replaced the toner and it said it needed a new drum. Replaced the drum and it turned out to just be broken. Cost of parts equal to a new printer, plus time wasted.

But, you know, every other printer is garbage, too. Inkjets dry out (HP, Epson). Electrical faults cause the printer to hang or reset (Lexmark). Poorly written drivers cause the printer to waste a ream of paper printing junk on each page, probably trying to print PCL as ASCII (Samsung). An HP I had literally stressed out its own ribbon cable to the print head until it failed-a design flaw.

But few things are as garbage as Instant Ink, pop-up ads, and needing special online apps to access the basic functions like scanning.
At a first glance, attractiveness measurements seem unreliable.

> We study the effect of individuals’ attractiveness on intergenerational social mobility by using Add Health's interviewer-rated physical attractiveness. Information about physical attractiveness was collected during Wave I of the survey when all interviewers were asked to assess the physical attractiveness of respondents with answer options of (1) very unattractive, (2) unattractive, (3) about average, (4) attractive, and (5) very attractive.

But many women have commented that they find the "attractive" guy's compliments also unwanted.
The results do stick.

My first experience was random, when I tried a new, legal LSD variant[1], during the end of the pandemic, summer 2021.

I tried first ~40µg, while still finishing work (code).

Didn't feel anything so I took another 40 and then went dancing two hours later. At 80µg the LSD was just below psychoactive, so that dose was too high, in retrospect. I now use 40µ and that is perfect for me.

The only indicator I had, after the night, was external. Three followers came to me, out of the blue, and told me: "you were my best tanda tonight, thank you."
(A tanda is a block of three-four songs danced together, before you change partners).

That struck me as odd/very surprising, at the level of dancing I was at then. A comment like this was something I would hear once-twice a year, if lucky. But three in one night?

After that the praise kept coming from other tango people I danced with for years before, i.e. they felt the change.

That's when I started experimenting with it and it has just become another tool to improve since then.

People who disregard this I tell to talk to dozens of dancers who know me for years.

They didn't know about what caused it. Yet they saw/see and felt/feel the change in my dancing and particularly musicality (which was, until then, my biggest struggle).

Mathematicians pay a lot of attention to real numbers simply because ones runs into them everywhere. If rational numbers were enough to make analysis, calculus, and ultimately physics work out, we would certainly stick with those simpler objects. Real numbers are strange fellas for sure, but nature being describable by rational numbers alone ought to be testable.

That would be ridiculously slow and inefficient.
Except there's no data for that. I do however recall stats that "physically attractive" men are generally treated favorably by other men and despite decades of feminist activism we still have men disproportionately (relative to the general population) represented in key decision makers (unless you consider "head of HR" equivalent to a C-level position). There's certainly a "look" to many high income career paths and being conventionally attractive (though not necessarily "pretty" - high earners in business rarely look like models) is a factor.

If the effect is stronger for men than for women this could also support the more established notion that there are more social expectations on women to "look the part", i.e. wear makeup and "the right clothing" (which covers a much wider gamut than what is expected from men, which depending on white collar career path is either a casual suit or t-shirt and jeans/khakis). Attractiveness alone is not a guarantee for higher status and may in some cases even have the opposite effect by drawing unwanted sexual attention from male superiors or coworkers.
From my understanding, Linux CGroups proved itself to be a viable alternative to jails, because, it provided "Linux inside Linux" in practice. Also, if my memory serves right, jails had some performance impact for the workload inside the jail.

Docker, as you know better than me, is just a wrapper over CGroups, nothing else, plus a container image format, basically.

In the end, CGroups provided what jails provided with the same and better performance, and someone leveraged that subsystem with a tool, before everyone else.
I would passionately argue that "innovating" is not the right word. Encumber, complicate, enshittify - sure, most products with "tech" in them got there through one of those misguided drivers.

Innovation? That rarely ever happens. It might be on corporate values lists, but no execs actually value innovation. You don't increase profits quarter over quarter by innovating. It's too risky and too expensive. It's safer to beat the familiar drum, and from time to time buy a startup that actually makes something good.
A smart stove would let you start the oven preheating before you get home, thus saving a 5-10 minute wait before you can start cooking that frozen pizza you just bought. That is the only justification I've seen for a smart appliance I've seen.

Does it allow "saving" tab groups and having them sync with what you've actually put in them? Last I checked this was still an experimental feature in Chrome (it might be auto-available now), but it's a killer feature for me (it auto-syncs with whatever you add to or remove to the tab group also).

Mozilla providing the same would be required for me to make the switch altogether (though I happily use it for some things already)

In the opposite direction, my friend, an engineer who helps design engines for a living talks about how the government pressing them to be more and more efficient is the only reason he and his coworkers even have jobs. He says engine manufacturers would be more than happy to just continually pump out 30 year old designs otherwise.
I'm ready to believe the most charitable explanation for this: the new code search (which I have found to be exceptionally good) has a lot more going on under the hood than a normal search engine, which makes it a lot more resource-intensive - limiting it to signed-in accounts saves a huge amount of server resources that would otherwise be used to serve crawlers.

My guess is that the trade-off here is genuinely a question of if they spend 3-4x (I'm guessing, but I think this is likely a low-ball estimate) on their search infrastructure, v.s. having people angry at them for requiring login to use the feature.

I actually built my own code search tool for use with GitHub repos, but I've mostly stopped using that because the new GitHub code search is so useful by default: https://simonwillison.net/2020/Nov/28/datasette-ripgrep/
This is why its good to have Cryptomator setup and figure out how to use that rsync or rclone whatever. Still gotta figure out how to implement it but anything with the G is already on shaky grounds. You're better off with Dropbox or literally anyone else.

A little late but after reading this thread I moved a airflow instance to windmill and I much much prefer windmin, airflow was clunky and heavy for my simple workflow that consist of running a few python script.
Also is auto ui is great to play with the arguments in, the cron ui and next start date... Also is it written in rust so much more low usage than airflow that consistently cpu picked while doing nothing.
I think it's a very unfair assessment to make from these two examples. I think it's like saying Silicon Valley has been shutting down for a while and providing two examples of startups. I will say from my personal impression as someone in pure math, I disagree with this statement.
if you would believe in this statement or if you could stand by your victim blaming I suspect you would not be making this comment from a throwaway account.
Beside we know that the pressure that males can put on the looks of women is unfair, why should we give a pass to the same when it affects men ?
Continuous math is just a finite set of symbols that obey a set of laws (maybe a finite set of laws, or maybe an infinite set of laws, formulated in a higher level logic).

FantasyCraft has a neat system where one of the stats is "Prudence" and at the end of each adventure, the character will spend a fraction of the wealth they earned, on a scale from 85%-25%. This doesn't necessarily solve the late-game wealth problem, but it does add a lot of flavor; treasures can be larger and the characters then spend most of it on living it up (or whatever).
Don’t forget Dockerfiles!

I'm answering this out of naivete: some people want to benefit humankind over their personal interests.
Burning Wheel has an interesting approach to wealth. You do not really have "money". You instead have a Resources stat, which you roll for skill tests to gather resources to pay for things. As it is roughly feudal that makes more sense. You can get "cash" but that is used as additional dice to your resources rolls (and is used up on the test). And you can further abstract certain things as "funds" which act as a bonus to resources, ie your estate is a 3d fund which can be depleted.
> why would i want arbitrary web pages to be able to connect to all my daemons

Browsers implementing support for unix domain sockets would of course need to completely block such connection from tcp pages and only allow connection to a given socket provided it is the one currently in the url bar, that the current page has been loaded from.

If that's not enough, you can always use the file permission system to block your everyday browser running as your regular user to access the service sockets, and spawn a browser using a dedicated user account (www-sock? just like we have www-data for web servers?) that you only use for this.

> when they could have easily just used an opaque handle that the machine operator can copy and paste into whatever application he wants to use it

Then the point of failure would be the random number generator used to generate the "opaque handle". Security by obscurity never works.
That seems like one of the more unlikely causes, among the almost infinite variety of causes that are consistent with "several people said they can't find some files".

I would look seriously into how that attractiveness was evaluated, and the measurement might be more accurate for men:

1. Criteria for men and women are very different: tall vs. thin is key. If the profiles list height but not BMI, that would lead to discrepancies.

2. Heterosexual women are more likely to agree on which men is attractive then the reverse (which is a classic problem in dating apps: then attention of fewer women is also more focused)

3. Make-up: unattractive men don’t have that many commonly used options to be more attractive (growing a beard, painful surgery), while women are more willing to spend half an hour to change that. It levels the playing field making the original measure less relevant.

4. When the data was collected:

> assessed when individuals are around 15 years old

My memory of biology class is faint, but I believe that men change less after 15 than women do.

In general, that’s an area that was understudied 25 years ago. I’m happy to read so many references, but couldn’t find my old sociology professor. He was struggling with the impact of height on one’s professional career. He published a lot using a sample of alumni from the other university where he taught (to control for education). Strangely, the impact of height became weaker over the decades… He had so many theories (computers, mostly)—only to realize (after two publications) that it was because the cohort was increasingly feminine. So, he published in succession that:

1. height was key;

2. the gender gap was more than explained by how women were shorter (that paper was not popular);

3. height mattered a lot less for women, therefore the gender gap thing was still a problem, but athleticism was (he had an athletics grade). (That’s how I learned that `log_salary~height*gender`, `log_salary~height+gender` and `log_salary~height:gender` meant completely different things.)

3 bis. strike that: athletics mattered for both, but less than expected; BMI was key for both but mostly women. (That was the example other professors used to teach us about the scissor effect in regression: BMI and height are related.)

4. Height and BMI were proxies for attractiveness that mattered for both but had to be measured differently. He had several sets of photos, one typically earlier and without and another later with make-up… More importantly, students were 23-24 at that point.

But all that became obsolete when most students ended up studying and finding jobs abroad and that effect dominated everything. That professor moved to study accents.

You actually don't need that all packaging stuff for ease-of-use much. Compile your application with required libraries to a subfolder, define the jail's root as that subfolder, and fire the app.

It's similar under Linux's CGroups. You fire the binary inside another CGroup and, that application thinks that it's the only thing on the machine, and may feel a little lonely, with its own IP and isolated network stack and such.
