The argument for those who make things vs those who make models trying to make sense of those who makes things.

The "Mathematics and Science" is the explanation that comes after-the-fact of the creation which was initially driven by intuition and insight mixed with experiment in order to jump towards new intuitions and experiments.

Said another way, I find it true that mathematics and science serve as a form of language that seek to explain what already exists. It cannot be used as a tool for what has not yet been created. The catch being that things which have been created are usually part of the process of creating that which hasn't.

This got metaphysical without really wanting it to be. Oh well.

Regarding continuity of Bitcoin's functionality without a stable power grid or Internet, take a look at Blockstream's satellite constellation.
And if your code isn’t making money for someone right now, why does it even exist?
the fun thing about that argument is it can be applied to creationism vs. science, too, but we know that one of those is wrong and the other right

turns out "a minority of people with me" isn't that convincing of an argument
This is very different from my experience. In my years with AWS I’ve only had an instance get stopped once for a reason that was weird AWS background stuff that had nothing to do with my application. I don’t think I’ve ever had or even heard of an instance just disappearing.
It definitely doesn’t work like that in Quebec.
How do their noise compare to crickets?
This is such a wrong take. Sure, you have to vote for a single party, but that doesn't mean you can't support specific ideas no matter where they come from.

And not even that, mostly voting does nothing either, because winner-takes-all: the way to be heard is packing up and moving to another state. Make a blue state bigger demographically because voting blue in a red state does nothing (and vice versa).
If it results in a 4 day workweek, thats a 25% increase in productivity.

If you have people working 5 days, its the same as working 6.25 days. Presumably people who work in these companies are going to have a net output higher than the 4 day people. There is a chance competition can win,

Just another way to look at it from an "economist" point of view
I think a few things can be true at the same time. A (doubly-)linked list is an elementary data structure. It is reasonable to expect implementation of such data structures to require no special magic, since they are one of the first data structures many people learn. There is minimal use for these data structures in modern programming so the exercise is a bit academic. Every doubly linked list I have written in vaguely recent memory, and there haven’t been many, used indirect addressing (like indexes) and not pointers.

While I don’t think it matters that much in practice for many types of systems software, I think it is fair to recognize that this lack of basic expressivity is occasionally troublesome and an unexpected gap in the context of classical computer science for someone learning Rust.
Love that expression.

There’s a book, The Talent Code. One of the central premises is neuroplasticity and more precisely the process of muslin “wrapping” certain neuropathways making them more efficient.

This happens all the time - for connections deemed by the brain as important. While demoting “unimportant” ones.

So yes, the brain undergoes constant change - iterating on continuous improvement.

Intentional practice activates this process.

This, what we call “talent”, more often than not, is the result of intentional practice.
JWT, JWS, JWE, JWP. This is getting confusing.

I am still unsure if JWT can be encrypted. You find libraries encrypting it but then does it become JWE? Is it the same thing if the library still calls it a JWT? Are all of these just subtypes of JWTs or standalone RFCs?

It is all over the place. Makes me just take the route of creating a custom JSON payload and then encrypting or signing it.
No and I agree that this is a question that needs to be answered in the "post copyright" world.

Let's be realistic, this is directly related to the Tax Cut and Jobs act and the USMCA. The IRA will have minimal impact and even those effects are yet to be realized.

It wasn't rocket science, make it advantageous to produce your goods sold in America in America. Economies of scale will follow and make it true that producing goods for export makes sense too, even with the tax hit.

Gamete cells get a random half of all genes from each parent so there's about 2 unique possible 'sets' from each parent, and 2*2=4. However because it's random I think you can only say there are 4 distinct completely unique possibilities in theory, but it would be very unlikely for that to actually happen in practice.
But it's not fiddling with Signal configs, it's un-breaking the broken power management software phone manufacturers add on top of AOSP. This issue is not specific to Signal and if it were in their power to code around it, they would. Other apps get affected in the same way.

Whatsapp, being so popular, gets whitelisted. It has to work or people would be telling each other "don't buy Samsung!" (not unlike the situation with Huawai since the Play store got removed from their phones).

Messages getting lost entirely is a whole separate matter - so you got the two ticks telling you it'd been delivered, but nothing at the recipient's end? Was this a long time ago? I would stop using it too if I had that problem, I agree.

This isn't actually correct. If you collect or process process the data of European citizens, no matter where in the world you are, then you're affected by GDPR.
I have to agree this a a great tool. I had low expectations, but I found it easy to use and the AI diagram generator actually worked on my experiments.

By the links you shared instance level SLA on AWS is 99.5%. GCP instance level is 99.99%. That's not the same.

> For each individual Amazon EC2 instance (“Single EC2 Instance”), AWS will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Single EC2 Instance available with an Instance-Level Uptime Percentage of at least 99.5%

The underlying storage isn't the same as well, and that matters more. EBS is 99.95% durable. Even standard zonal PD's on GCP are >99.99%, balanced are >99.999%, SSDs are >99.9999%.

Even if it was 99.99% (it's not on AWS) what's the point of having your instance be 99.99% if the underlying disks might disappear? That's something I've seen happen multiple times on AWS, never once on GCP.
> Who said anything about frequency?

I did, for the purpose of presenting a context to try to explore the original question:

>> Seems a good place to ask a question I’ve been asking myself for a long time, and couldn’t figure out the answer to: why do lonely crosswalks not immediately turn the lights red for the cars when you push the button? Or at least, after a very short delay (< 3 seconds).

Just because a pedestrian desires to reach their destination by crossing a road does not negate the desires of those driving to reach their destinations. Neither desire is more important than the other and a legitimate case can be made for slightly prioritizing drivers due to the volume of people involved.

> ... the designer has to deliberately forget that you can put the delay after the cycle.

That choice would prioritize one person, or at most a few, over those in vehicles having the same desire. Plus, it does not factor in impact with regard to other traffic control devices (a.k.a. "stop lights").

I guess the fundamental question is; does the want of one person outweigh those of others if that "one person" happens to be you?

I wonder if they put in a "long-way-around" splice into these forks in the Atlantic, so Ireland would have a connection to Denmark:

https://www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-cable/havfrueaec...

Then you've got this link to the SW tip of UK, that then links to France (via Guernsey & Jersey): https://www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-cable/pan-europe...

There might be an overall direct fibre link.

But yeah, Ireland is at risk of the UK cutting most of their continental Europe capacity.

I've seen some strange investments though that don't seem to add much more on top of what's already there, like this company's: https://crosslakefibre.ca/network/ But maybe despite ample existing infrastructure, the incumbent providers suck so they can make a successful go at providing a bypass.
Also consider that the $3,320 figure appears to be an estimate of the cost to manufacture an H100, which doesn’t encompass all of Nvidia’s COGS (R&D, warranty reserve, etc.)

Banning visual/audio recording in public spaces takes away all the power of private citizens and firmly hands it over to government agencies/surveillance. A terrible precedent to set.
Just want to chime in and say this is one of the best tools, I have this permanently pinned in Arc and it makes it really, really easy to collaborate.

Some more dots:

- free, open source, encrypted and private

- I hated this at first because the shortcuts weren’t intuitive. IMO shortcuts are the #1 most important feature of a whiteboarding tool because you never want the interface to be a process step. This has improved drastically and it’s best in class now!

- very stable and widely used for systems design interviews, basically every startup is on this now and even Meta uses this white-labelled for their interviews

- the easy collaboration and easy jump in (going to their homepage opens up a whiteboard) makes this an ideal pair for new-age tools like Arc

- the scribbly design style humanizes system design and makes it seem lower stakes, IMO makes a big difference in my process

- seems to have a small footprint, I’ve used this on airplane wifi before without latency

(Meta comment alert) people are still a bit too jazzed about type safety. If you are having a strong reaction without (having been forced to) using typing in Python, please try to have a softer stance, in this case. It really kinda sucks.

Also another comment about the apparent contradictions about moving quickly without types and then dealing with runtime errors. I don’t think the author actually said anything about the nature of the stack trace, and I’m pretty sure lots of typed languages have runtime errors that require combing through stack traces. The point of removing the guardrails is that it allows you to shape the clay that is your code, iteratively, without thinking too hard about the correctness. “Yes it isn’t right, but it’s good enough for 70% and I’ll figure out the rest after I prove this out.” When you have “grand” ideas you want to be able to get it out quickly, and not be slowed down by proof. Is it really that hard to keep those two ideas beside each other?

A magic 8 ball and a shake table could replace economists. An orangutan flipping coins in front of a CCTV camera could do it too.

Am I being entirely serious? No, but economists really do seem more like witch doctors than scientists to me.
Just contract with them using Deel. It’s like $49 a month for the hiring party and the contractor is responsible for the taxes in their country. Pay them more if you have to in order to offset. Absolutely not worth the cost/headache for you to become an official “employer” in another country.

If you insist on a non-contractor relationship, find a business (Oyster, Remote, maybe Deel do this) to act as the Employer of Record and get ready to pay them a ton to do it.

The only cheap and easy way to do this as an employer is with contractor relationships.
Sample size was decent. Seems positive!

"The sample included n = 233, n = 66, and n = 44 participants at the three time points, respectively. Trait mindfulness, specifically description and non-judging of inner experience, was increased, and neuroticism was decreased after 4 weeks of microdosing compared to baseline."

Fiber cable can actually be a very good sensor. Some light gets reflected back from the most minute bends of the cable. By sensing reflections and comparing them with previous reflections you can see whether the cable has experienced any new bends. By timing the arrival of reflections you can calculate exactly where the new bends are. By sensing the intensity of reflections you can calculate how sharp the bend is.

And this is not a research project anymore. Well, the fiber the article talks about is a research project, but there is a company called luna innovations that sells production fiber sensors that operate in commercial environments. There are underground fibers that sense whether someone steps in a restricted area. There are fibers stuck to pipelines that sense whether someone is trying to drill a hole in the pipeline to steal some oil (or any other vibrations or ruptures). There are fibers glued to the undersides of bridges that sense whether the bridge vibrates and bends too much.

It is a very useful sensor, because you can essentially get sensing along a large area without paying for multiple sensors and trying to figure out how you are going to power them, how they are going to communicate back, etc.

The electronics for extracting data from the fiber are complex but they do not have to be out in the wild in the area being sensed, they can be safely housed at one end of the fiber.
By "disappear" I mean the instance failed hard and couldn't be restarted. It's just gone. Usually related to the EBS volume dying.

But yeah, usually when they die they can just be relaunched. Still they die way more often on AWS than in GCP, and will just end up staying stopped. Until very recently they couldn't even migrate the instances when the underlying hardware had some maintenance, you had to stop and relaunch it on your own. FFS most decent hypervisors have had live migrations for decades and yet I still get notifications of "this instance will stop on x day..." emails. I should never see that. The cloud provider should keep the instance running forever. There's no excuse.
I’m not sure I see how my comment is at odds with yours. As you point out, voting and ideological support are orthogonal concepts, if intertwined. I agree with you there.

As far as voting not mattering, it both does and it doesn’t. Your individual vote may not matter, but convincing large groups of people their vote does not matter does matter and has also been historically exploited as a voter suppression technique.

There’s a lot of game theory one could reason about optimizing your ability to participate in the US democracy, but unfortunately the outcomes of that exercise are generally quite depressing.

I wonder how much this could be improved/sized up.

Each pixel on such a setup travels along a circle. Spinning at 1200 rpm = 20/second, a 1000 Hz display would have a resolution of 50 segments along this circle. With a 10 cm diameter, this would make the outer "pixels" in the virtual 3D display around 6mm long.

The outer edge of the display would also experience a force of 80 G at that point, so bigger and/or faster spinning quickly becomes challenging (although it's only linear).

Driving monochrome OLED displays at 500+ Hz has already been done https://blog.adafruit.com/2012/02/03/adafruit-ssd1306-monoch...

I don’t think it’s swappable. No one on the right is losing fundamental rights due to the lefts views. They might see a decrease in the quality of their lives (reduced privilege, sharing job options with immigrants etc.), but it’s not a fundamental attack to their personhood.
It’s easier to fix with off-the-shelf parts (blown capacitor, damaged MOSFET, etc) than a part in which is manufactured for and by the automaker (e.g. variable valve timing component).

Aesop: White-Box Best-First Proof Search for Lean
Thank you for mindful answers! I mostly agree they was valuable and gamechangers year ago. I hope, this time we will not need hot water bottles to feel warm.

For about language learning and spaced repetition, things are running.

Just cup of days ago, Ukrainian government decided to make English a must for officials, and made changes to education regulations, so now English will study from first year in all Ukrainian schools.

Spaced repetition, from my own experience, is very depend on how well organized person, and war making huge interference in organization. Imagine, how hard to organize if you every day hear siren of air defense, and nobody could predict, how long war will last, and every day possible some extreme news.

To be honest, I envy to Yugoslavians, as they war last just few months, NATO aviation very fast finished Soviets offense. In Ukraine case, I literally seen few tides and ebbs, when things slowly become more extreme, and then again, slowly return some stability and feeling of safeness.

And the last what I must say, Ukrainians are good in peer interactions, unfortunately at the moment, we have not good reliable results in large scale peer interactions, I think we must study this part of democracy.

I think, my other answer also could say something additional:

San Francisco. But I have lived in extremely conservative areas (think evangelical MAGA types) growing up.

I am also a Brown PoC who always gets confused as either Arab or Hispanic. Yet I've never been accosted or dealt with negativity and I've been fairly successful in shutting down any hint of racism fairly quickly.

I agree if you are LGBTQ+ it's going to suck, but at the end of the day, most people aren't.

On top of that, the metropolitan areas in those regions are fairly liberal. You aren't as likely to face Gay hate in Nashville, Tulsa, or STL. They are all very blue leaning and fairly liberal.

And trust me, the kind of racists and kooks you see in Missouri or Oklahoma can't hold a candle compared to those in Spokane, Bakersfield, or Medford.
Its reliability over the past year has dropped quite a bit. But the worst change is one you didn’t mention—it’s not technical, or ads, it’s the promotion of responses based on playing for Twitter Blue. The quality of responses to any popular post has turned into a wave of garbage.

Admittedly, the ads are also much worse. For a while I was getting late night infomercial quality ads, and now the most common ad I get now on Twitter is for a box of tissues. I don’t know what sounds worse—that a company that makes novelty tissue boxes is blowing a ton of money on Twitter ads, or that they’re not blowing a ton of money on Twitter ads because the price floor has bottomed out.
Reliability and emissions... the remaining 'luftis' are quite high maintenance and for daily drivers probably not the best choice. If I had one I'd not do it justice because I'd be too scared of damaging it in traffic. I like them because they're so spartan though, but for a long trip it might be a bit much.
It does help to have SOME finance background when doing all this.

I will not deny that people are gonna get screwed. The question is how to minimize the damages.

According to the research done by Charles Mann in 1491, the indigenous population used fire to drive prey into hunting zones. I believe he even presents the theory that is what created the grassland plains across the central US. He presents quite a bit of evidence from primary sources.

I’m not a historical scholar and so maybe his evidence is “bunk”, but his work seems to be very well received in academic circles (unlike say Graham Hitchcock who is seen as more of a Malcolm Gladwell type).
