Did you cover Jacobian matrices and how to to calculate and classify local extremes in a multivariate function? Do you remember saddle points? If not you did miss multivariate.

The main thing you lose then is you don't know how to apply calculus on non linear coordinates like spherical coordinates and so on. It is useful for data analysis if your data is easier to work with after a non linear transformation, but if you don't work with that sort of thing then probably not very useful.
Depends. Most Linux users will run the latest security patches for all their software, not just the OS, because it all updates automatically.

Additionally, a lot of Linix users run most attack vectors (like browsers or email clients) inside a sandbox using Snap or FlatPak).

None of these things make it impossible to get through to the system, but they are additional barriers that an attacker needs to deal with.
This is actually what inspired Temporary Note.

One idea is that the url makes it immediately shareable. You can send your note to your phone in a text message without any uploads due to it being encoded in the url.

Yes, I'm talking about your personal site. It might be my homegrown RSS reader, because around 10 to 15 of the 900+ feeds I follow just don't show me the content of the feed items. It also doesn't show the feed's title, the description and - strangely enough - also not your site's favicon (which is outside the scope of the feed itself).

I validated the feed at https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fww... and everything seems well (except for some "recommendations" to make it even better).

I now saved your site in my feed reader as a sort of bookmark, so I am reminded by it's existence and will check it from time to time, but it would be cool if it shows up immediately.

I've not researched the problem yet, but one of the possible problems that comes to mind is some server setting at your side that stops my external domain from reaching it. Which probably is strange, because w3.org can reach it without problems.

I'm willing to do a little experiment: if you put online a very simple, handmade testfeed, I can try to reach that. What you think about that?
So we agree that it is unstable in shallow depths of less than 450m?

Such as depths of 200m where the pressure is less and tempreture greater?

Good.

You read onwards, I trust ...

The potential for methane from hydrate in deeper water to reach the atmosphere was considered negligible.

was considered negligible .. not any more.

Increases in bottom-water temperature at the landward limit of marine hydrate around continental margins, where vulnerable hydrate exists at or below the seabed, cause methane to vent into the ocean.

The shallower less stable hydrates in the twilight zone are capable of gassing out and causing the migration upwards of the formerly deeper more stable stuff.

The punchline on the article I linked that you quoted is:

We demonstrate that, under suitable circumstances, some of the 96.5% of methane bound in deeper water distal hydrates can reach the seafloor and vent into the ocean beyond the landward limit of marine hydrate.

This reservoir should therefore be considered for estimating climate change-induced methane release during a warming world.

So while you may not believe this, it is the case that a bunch of petroleum exploration marine hydrologists and geophysicists are asserting that this can happen for this one specific reservoir on the Mauritanian passive margin.

There are multiple reasons for this to happen, one in particular that you overlooked is:

But frozen methane in the deep ocean may vulnerable after all. In oceans and seas where the water is deeper than around 450 metres to 700 metres are layer upon layer of sediment that contains the hydrate.

And some of it is deeply buried and warmed geothermally by the Earth so, despite being hundreds of metres below the seafloor, it is right at the point of instability.

That's right, the sun isn't the only source of heat - there's still life left in the old ball of once molten rock after all.

We covered Jacobians, Gaussian curvature, local extrema, saddle points, etc. in the linear algebra course.

We did integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinates in the integral and differential calculus course.

So, I guess the standard multivariable calculus got smeared across my first calculus course and my linear algebra course.

Yeah my friend and I were just talking about continuous stream input multimodal LLMs. Does anyone know if there is a technical limitation preventing continuous stream input data? Like it’s listening to you practice guitar and then when you get to a certain point it says “okay let’s go back and practice that section again”. It seems the normal approach of next token prediction falls flat when there is a continuous stream of tokens and it only sometimes needs to produce output.

What is that type of input called in the literature and what research has been done on it? Thanks!
Yes, it seems expensive. However, you will save sooo much time by getting it. One of my regrets was not spending money at the beginning of my journey into software.

Then you did multivariate calculus in the linear algebra course. It isn't that strange to do it that way since the hard parts of multivariate has more to do with linear algebra than calculus.

In the article it's said the proposal already included 160 plants in a big ring around yellowstone, resulting in the 16,000 years figure.

Perfectly reasonable, let's do it.

Having the note text in the URL can be good in some cases. Storing the note as a bookmark becomes possible, as does storing a note in a URL shortening service. Opening a fork of a note from a different device also becomes possible this way. (eg. on Chrome, using "Send to Your Devices")

Localstorage (as far as I know) isn't easy to move across devices or share, and notes being a bit ephemeral is part of the idea of this. I think anyone who wants to save notes indefinitely is probably better off with one of the cloud-based note-taking apps.

O'Reilly transformed into a learning platform a while back. They still publish books, which are great for going deep, but their selling point is that you get unlimited access to a good chunk of the tech publishers' books, videos, live events, etc., and it's all searchable. ChatGPT will give you specific answers if you know what to ask, but personally, I'd rather learn from the experts building it. It might seem spendy, but chances are your company already has an account and you just need to ask around for access or if you're indy, they usually have yearly promos. I think it's about what you'd typically spend monthly on books.

Playing the limited shareware release of Doom the very first time in single player mode was already incredible, but it was the multi-player mode that was mind blowing.

It would be fun to see a graph with sales stats of NE2000 clones around that time. They were the cheapest Ethernet expansions boards at the time, and one of the few that Doom supported.
I think eventually these books will end up becoming training data for LLM's but at the moment, a human plus a machine is far more powerful than either one in isolation.

You still have time to derive some utility from them. Additionally, you can use ChatGPT to help you learn the material faster.

It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.
I've been using Beeper for a while now and have zero interest in iMessage. It aggregates Discord, Signal, SMS, LinkedIn, Slack, Twitter, WhatsApp message into one place. It's fantastic!

This leans on the LLM’s latent space to hopefully give you better results. The idea is that it’s able to use those key words to form connections that may have been absent otherwise.

> If we didn't downplay "the doom" for years now

We collectively didn't. We did quite the opposite by giving airtime to any quack predicting the end of the world, so much so that encountering "end of the world people" is a common trope in American sitcoms.

(Edit: Hell, watch a documentary from the late '70s on "Global Cooling" to see what I mean. The episode of "In Search Of…" narrated by Leonard Nimoy is my suggestion.)

If the "The End Is Nigh!" people hasn't ever existed, then I think the warnings over the past 4+ decades would have been taken far more seriously.

As it is now, most are afraid of lending an ear to a boy crying "Wolf!". It sucks.
> When a blog post starts with saying "twitter is dead"

That's not what they said. They said “it’s the day that, for me, Twitter died.” I read that as meaning “I personally don't want to use Twitter anymore.”

I personally feel the same about Reddit. I was a very regular reader and contributor, but since the big brouha about third-party apps I decided that it's dead to me. I'm no longer using it. That doesn't mean it has died as a platform, but it does mean that I personally have moved on from it.
It's rare for something as popular as Linux, NT, BSD or XNU to come along but just because they aren't widespread and popular doesn't mean nobody is writing them.
Thanks for the details, I did give compiling it a try and saw some of the things you mention, but my knowledge of C, pre-standards C, and libc wasn't enough to fully make sense of them. I'll agree it looked better than I expected; I've seen much worse cases of single-decade old programs not compiling/working (one in Haskell and another involving C++ and Java, although they were much larger programs).

But I don't think it was unfair to use that as an example of early Unix software, or to point out that it was harder than "just compiling it". One defense against my argument could be that a version of 'grep' has been maintained through C versions and operating systems, with source code availability playing a part in that (although presumably GNU grep avoided using Unix source code).
I too have lived in both, and there is none, as I remind my friends from hot as fuck climates whenever they complain about cooler weather. You can't go below "naked."
In my humble opinion you have started totally on something that a study/poll like this doesn’t even point to.

You are talking about I/we/people “wanting/loving/preferring” to work at certain hours or for certain length of hours (usually not often or not regularly/daily) compared to being “asked/made/forced/expected” to work that way often/regularly/daily.

And Twitter definitely doesn’t have free speech. People still get banned, or have their posts artificially limited, but they do allow more hate speech.

Nearly everyone I followed on Twitter is on Mastodon now. It works great. Conversations still happen there on news topics.

I deleted my Twitter account a while back because my feed stopped being people I followed and became people promoting conspiracy theories. The site doesn’t even work properly anymore. People link to threads of tweets but only the first tweet displays. And profiles never show latest tweets. (I think these might work when logged in? But also don’t show any errors when logged out? I don’t know as I’ll never login again)

By this time next year the speed difference in shipping machines will be reduced to 2x. Speed parity in probably 2026 -- or maybe 2020 x86 speed in 2026 ... close enough that it doesn't matter for most purposes anyway.

> equations like d/dx(e^x)=e^x

That equation is extremely important though, it tells you that the rate of change for exponential functions is proportional to the current value. So in reverse, anything where the rate of change is proportional to the value is an exponential function and now you instantly know how fast those will grow.

So by knowing that we do get a lot of intuition for so many systems and processes. That is the power of math, understanding one thing improves your understanding for so many different otherwise unrelated systems.
