None of this is "forced." If you are being interrogated by police without a lawyer, its because you are either a) and idiot, or b) not well educated about the American legal system (which means you probably received a poor education or you're a migrant). What this decision opens up is different from what you cited: here, we are not dealing with physical compulsion to speak or write or produce any kind of communication, which is severely delimited with the presence of a lawyer (or even the mention of one to the police), we are dealing with police, who've already seized some object which contains personal communication (much like safe), and the legal right to remain silent on the code to unlock it. Now if, for previous physical objects which would contain communications that were locked with a code, there was case precedence where that code was legally demanded by police, and granted by a court, then you might have an argument.

No, it's the other way. I'm using NixOS because I want to understand Nix better. I want to understand Nix better so that I can help this crowd:

> Most people and developers don't want to be a "participant". They need something that gets the job done.

I met a guy last semester who wasted 4 months of his graduate program (structural proteomics) trying to puzzle out how to run some x-ray laser scattering analysis software that was written in FORTRAN and handed to him on a flash drive. He's the person I want to help. I want him to be able to install nix wherever and type `nix run github:foo/barlasers` and be happy that barlasers works as expected, no need to become a NixOS user.

> Your disagreement represents a niche and if the devs cater to your disagreement then they cater to a small niche.

They're catering to the people who are willing to help them create a useful packaging and configuration ecosystem. Just because they're not catering to the end users of those packages doesn't make them insufficiently empathetic.

The alternative is a really comfy package manager and a bunch of broken packages. That's much worse. I see NixOS as a factory floor, if you wanna get your hands dirty we'll happily show you around, but the "easy button" experience that we're building happens where people press that button, not where it's made.

This article is nonsense clearly written by a compliance person.

TLDR “safety good. No safety bad”

it fails to articulate any implementation. What problem are you trying to prevent?
Not too much light :( , but let's try again:

It looks like a previous work. It looks like it's a single qubit going from 0 to 1.

Charger 1 is connected using the Pauli matrix σx and Charger 2 is connected using the Pauli matrix σy. σx and σy does not conmute, so using the chargers in different order get a different result.

From the preprint:

> A quantum switch that realizes indefinite causal order admits higher-order processes where a control qubit plays the role of determining the order of occurrence of C1 and C2. Depending on the control qubit’s initial state, infinitely many configurations become possible, e.g., when the control qubit is prepared in a coherently balanced state, the battery undergoes the
charging dynamics determined by C1C2 and C2C1 in a balanced superposition. A measurement will be performed on the control qubit following the dynamical evolutions of the target system.

It looks like standard superposition with strange names.

IIUC they make measurements and repeat the operation, and that increase the probability that the final state of the qubit is 1. This second part may be interesting, but the unusual names make me decide to forget it.
Take a look at [0] to get a quick visual demonstration of how that works. As others have said, lossy compression often throws away high frequency data (for sound, it corresponds to high pitches that you can barely hear. For images, high frequency corresponds to fast changing parts of a picture, so think crisp edges, fine detail (e.g. hair or stubble), and noise/film grain). So a basic lossy compression algorithm might use a FT and then only store the lower frequencies. When you do the inverse transform without the high frequency data, you lose details.

Note that the spectrograms in [0] use what's called a short time fourier transform[1]. Basically, split your song into windows (e.g. 1 second each), and do a fourier transform on each window. This lets you get a picture of the spectrum over time.

IANAL, but I imagine that would ideally go something like this:

Prosecution: "Mr. Defendant, when the police asked you to unlock your phone, what did you tell them?"

Defense: "Objection, prejudicial and irrelevant. Fifth-Amendment."

Judge: "Objection sustained--move on to the next question."
Unfortunately, due to the way this study is designed, there is no way to separate the effects of lockdown from the effects of the pandemic itself. It would be interested to compare areas with mandatory lockdown policies to areas without, but that’s not what they did here.

Is broken ice cream machine an American thing because in 30 years I’ve never been into a McDonald’s in Asia/Pacific that had a broken machine. It’s always working.
Huh. That's actually a little unsettling.

The best description I have of my thought structure is a 4D graph of interrelated concepts. Each node is an abstract object that somehow represents all available information at once.

And uh, this sounds suspiciously similar to the linked psychedelic states. I'm really not sure what to make of that.

So all that screw making and painting was not there to support computing, but rather was legacy manufacturing that computing took advantage of.

They had a long legacy of mechanical engineering from the days of card punches and readers and teleprinters. Even into the 70s and 80s they were a major — perhaps by then the major — typewriter manufacturer. Typewriters were “business machines”.

IBM’s original name was The Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company. They started out making cash registers and related products.

Maybe a better way to see this is that during WWII they reconfigured their factories to make machine guns. Factories don’t look like that any more.
It looks like they use an initial auxiliary entangled system with a state like 1/sqrt(2)A+1/sqrt(2)B and then A and B decide how the "battery" charges. So the final state of the "battery" is 1/sqrt(2)C1C2+1/sqrt(2)C2C1, that is a superposition of the two ways to charge the "battery", that is a 50% for each one.

They don't go there for ice cream. Yeah, they won't go back for ice cream which has a minimal impact. You can bet they'll still come back for burgers, shakes and fries though.

It just confirms people fall into the trap of not going there for ice cream, which reduces the burden of the people having to use so much time to make ice cream for customers and can instead focus on the stuff that keeps the lights on and the profits coming in.

To be clear, I was responding to the commentary about the UK and Australia.

That said, even though America doesn’t have a perfect record on this, our Fifth Amendment rights are generally effective at protecting us from forced self-incrimination. We at least have the luxury of the Supreme Court that may hear and adjudicate our cases if our Fifth Amendment rights are violated.

> Americans are forced by their government to self-incriminate all the time and are sitting in jail for it.

“all the time” ← Can you please quantify that? I genuinely don’t believe it happens enough to justify your assertion. (I’d love to be corrected with some data if I’m wrong.)

All in all, I think it’s a mistake to expect a perfect system. Compared to the rest of the world, our Constitution is a massive luxury; Americans are beyond lucky. I can either focus on the fact that the overall system isn’t perfect or I can appreciate—i.e., not take for granted—the fact that we even have the codified set of rights that we do.

P.S. I personally know folks from Third World countries whose family members were executed for having the “wrong” opinion. We really do take a lot for granted here in America.
They no doubt do, but wholesale availability of data makes law enforcement’s sidestepping of the 4th amendment super easy. If they’re using home-grown tools, they’re at least ostensibly obliged to observe it.
It’s almost like the idea of “making a living” is what needs disrupting the most. I didn’t ask to be here, and it’s kind of a shit deal for most folks the way things work now. “How many Einsteins” etc.

If the art I’m interested in making doesn’t fit into this “utilitarian” monetary income model, it means that I can only pursue art in my “spare time”, outside of a necessary job and (for lots of us) family obligations. I guess I could become an art star, or a viral sensation, but we all know how unlikely that is for any one person. There’s not much middle ground.

The thing that we have to acknowledge as a culture is that we don’t generally value art, or highly-specific research avenues, or much of anything that isn’t “productive” in the most myopic sense. That’s a cultural choice, and it’s a bad decision. It fits in well with our naked pursuit of short-term optimization at the expense of everything else though, so at least we’re consistent. Yay.

The same issues come up in Java. It is not so clear if an exception you design should be checked or unchecked, if you should derive from IllegalArgumentException when appropriate, or just throw an IllegalArgumentException, etc.
I don’t really have anything to contribute, but feel compelled to express how depressing it is to see IBM today.

My first computer was an IBM PS/2 Model 25. It came with a budget version of the Model M keyboard, but without the number pad. It’s still the gold standard for how a keyboard should feel. If it wasn’t an IBM computer then it was a cheap clone.

Later in life, I was inspired to go to law school because of the SCO vs IBM case, and the excellent lawyering by IBM’s counsel.

Now, it’s like watching a zombie movie. I don’t even know what they do anymore.
Not to stir yet stir another debate but yeah, definitely not able to perceive the difference in either of the examples you linked. It would be helpful if that site let you drag the vertical comparison bar at least. On an iPhone 14 display.
If only the world in general could be more peaceable and not have separate states. Many of the elements could stand to be adopted in general. As it is, your plan mostly seems good, although I'm doubtful about how "anti-extremism" and "de-Zionification" classes would manifest in practice, and "single economy" seems really weird and chafing.
Yep. It’s a great experiment because you can have spatial frequency as well which gives you a physical demonstration of a Fourier transform.

Then you can do things like create physical filters and reform the original image to see if your filter worked.
I think the point is you take the problem home with you and let your subconscious work on it evening and night and then next day you are in a better position to do the right thing about it.

However note that nobody pays for you to work on it, or have your sub-conscious work on it on your own time. But if you really want to do a good job then that's the way to do it.

Let me put a finer point on it:

It does not matter what the constitution says police are going to do whatever they want no matter what, and case law proves that that’s exactly what they will, and will continue to do

You seem to be continuing to operate under the assumption that America works underneath the rule of law universally applied. It doesn’t, it never has.

As you so clearly reinforced my original point, the only way that you can actually have those rights apply to you is by either being smart or rich, and most people are neither
Agreed, you can use ChatGPT similarly to Google now. Except you do not have to parse and filter the results, plus there are no ads.
Nix is definitely missing a good intro that explains what to expect out of it. That leads to exaggerated comments about its difficulty being copy pasted in just about any related online discussion.

But as for the surprise thing though, I think that has more to do with you (presumably) using the unstable branch. Any rolling release distro would cause similar problems.

Also for people less familiar with Nix, Nix doesn't force read-only configuration files. Configuration frameworks based on Nix choose to do so most of the time because read-only ones significantly reduces deployment problems compared to read/write ones that can change under your feet any time.
They also axed an enormous number of experienced field-support techs and lost most of their institutional support knowledge in the process.
The AGI takes care of that as well. The tubes are reconfigurable so you can't be where you're not supposed to be according to the AGI's plan. Even if you're chatting the tube will suck you up and transfer you to the required destination.
OK, but I think you missed the point of the question above. The point was whether a court can compel people to explain a secret code, and whether there should be a different standard, if that code involves the computer or not

Why would a new development have power lines? In my country older suburbs have powerlines but everything is underground in new ones. Much more economical to do it in an area before any buildings or roads are built.

The newer ones are horrible for other reasons. They do tend to have smaller trees but over here that’s because everything is squeezed in to as little space as possible to maximise developer profit per square meter of land.
I’m sorry you’re going through this, and what you’re describing sounds very much like me at some points in the process, and to be very honest, I’m still not immune; I still slip into depressive episodes.

But the more I focus on doing “the work”, the shorter they are, and there haven’t been as many. For me, that has meant: Weekly therapy, Get good sleep, Eat decent food, daily mindfulness meditation and Yoga, several long walks every week, daily if possible. Journaling to clear thoughts out of my head.

This would have sounded like an insurmountable list at one point, and in reality happened gradually. One thing built on the next.

If I could deliver a message to my former self when I was stuck in a much deeper and longer rut, it’d be:

0. I need to start loving myself, as strange as that feels. Especially when the love isn’t there from outside, find it from inside if I can (this was fucking hard at first but got easier)

1. The only person who can change me is me (but get external help)

2. I don’t actually like wallowing in it. I just have a deeply ingrained habit of wallowing in it and it feels “normal”. It’ll stay normal until replaced with a new normal

3. Get better sleep above all else. Everything else gets easier. It took me 6 months of gradually shifting my schedule but I’d have buckled down sooner if I had realized how much it would help.

4. I won’t wake up one day and suddenly feel like doing the things I need to do - so I should stop waiting for that day and do it anyway. Doing it might feel like the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Do it anyway. Starting is the hard part. Doing it is usually far easier.

5. When I start to wallow or abandon good habits, don’t get upset about it, just begin again. It’s more like surfing than mountain climbing. Falling down is part of the process.

I don’t know how I would have received this message from my future self. I might have struggled to receive it. But these are some of the bigger things that I realized along the way, and continue to realize as I work through this.

Leopards can't begin to approach what a monkey can do [1], since they can't hang safely, since they don't have thumbs. Leopards rely on penetration of their claws, or being on top of the branches, like squirrels. It works for the squirrel because they're small, and the tension forces applied to the bark are negligible, so they can just crawl upside down. You won't see a leopard hanging from anything, in a non-comical way. A leopard does have an advantage of clawing up thick trunks, which is one of the reasons they hunt monkeys that are first on the ground, rather already in the trees.

I mean I would expect an ecosystem not be so fragmented to be honest. Looking at DistroWatch it seems that for every Linux user there is a Linux distro, and seems to be going that way with DE's and text editors as well. You might think this is great - but it seems, to me at least, to have the opposite effect of no option having good quality, because nobody puts any effort together, but instead in siloes.
I don't think the south American Brazilians are anywhere near as prudish as the central north American USofA denizens.
I'd be interested in seeing some generated text adventures that had more object manipulation puzzles (looks like this one only had a key and door puzzle) that you couldn't talk your way around.

I've looked into procedurally generated text adventures before and one challenge for example is not to give players access to objects that can be used to break/skip a current puzzle e.g. if the player needs to get money to buy a knife to cut a rope, don't give the player access to a match before they cut the rope or they could burn through the rope instead. I'd also want to stop ChatGPT from letting you bite through the rope or other solutions.

I think that a lot of people would prefer that to happen. Chicago Public Schools is constantly finding kids from wealthy suburbs whose parents rent cheap apartments in not-so-desirable parts of the city, don’t live in them, and use that address to have their kids tested to get into the high schools, taking up spots that would otherwise go to city residents. Yes, everyone would rather those kids just go to private school in their rich suburb.

The standard way to get into these high schools, by the way, starts at age 5, when you take your kid down to IIT and graduate psychology students administer a pseudo-IQ test. Based on that score and your ranked choice of regional gifted center elementary school, your kid may or may not be in the pipeline. It is pretty insane, actually.
You've never remembered any dreams, never one bit? I find that interesting.

I occasionally remember dreams. Once, for a few months, I kept a dream diary and started to remember more and more of my dreams. From a few flashes to pages and pages of stuff. It was mostly really boring and nonsense.
It could also be part of a subtle phishing attack, many users wouldn't think twice if a message from their "manager" told them to use a new site as a source, which has hidden payload text (in this case white-on-white font, but they mention there are other ways to achieve the same thing) so it looks normal even if they think to check it.
