I have not yet read the linked paper, but seismologists have used the Schroedinger wave equation in seismic imaging since at least the 1970s [1], certainly a "classical" system.

Does the Apple usb-c version have the same issue as the lightning version where very slight movements will cause it to interrupt playback with various accessibility messages? This was an issue for both my last iphones making the cable entirely unusable in any situation where your phone might move. Frankly I'd say it is so bad that Apple's lightning to headphone adapters shouldn't be allowed to be sold.
Some time around 6 months old, I watched my baby slowly realize that he had control over his own hands. He just stared at them for minutes at a time, slowly twisting his wrist back and forth, slowly moving his fingers. Although it came gradually, there was clearly an earlier time that he had no understanding that he could control this weird meaty limb attached to his body.

I recently started backing out of my garage, and after maybe 6 feet, immediately went "No. Something is wrong." There wasn't any noise, dashboard light, or obvious problem, there was just something slightly different. I didn't know what it was, but I felt it, on the left side of the car. I got out and looked, and my tire was half flat, with a piece of metal stuck in it. I felt it.

There's this sci-fi trope: what happens if we completely replicate an exact artificial copy of your brain and turn it on? The copy would think it's you -- would actually be you! Sci-fi shenanigans ensue. We'll never explore the stars, but maybe our artificial copies will! If only I were the artificial copy, being turned on, to live an immortal digital life.

But this is what people are missing: your brain is incorporating new bodily elements all the time. Your hands. Your car. A tool you use every day. Your avatar in a video game. You feel them. Neura-link isn't there, but one day something will be. You'll get a calculator in your head. We don't actually need to completely figure out the brain to build an interface: we just need to build something that our brain can figure out. And your brain is extremely good at incorporating new inputs. You'll feel it. And soon it will be more than a calculator. And as we get to the level of synthesizing full brains, it won't be a copy. It will be introduced, piecemeal, to your brain, and your brain will be given time to incorporate it into itself. Never will there be a "break" where the artificial brain is someone else. Over time, it will be you, even as the few remaining biological bits die off. You'll "live transfer" into a digital brain without ever being turned off; without any new Yous coming online.

Well, maybe not you, but your grandkids, or their grandkids.
2077 is gonna be a weird year. I jest but yeah.
I did it by ear. I was never creative, so I never was good at creating anything original. But I was often able to listen to songs and break apart each instrument and notes, and had tons of fun transposing some of my favorite songs.

Of course, more complex songs with very subtle instruments or phrases were harder to replicate, but I was often able to get it fairly close.

Not surprisingly, playing Rock Band for many years has improved my ability to hear the more subtle instruments/notes, but I don’t do as much midi transposing as I used to.

I’ve not listened to the Rainbow Road midi in a while, so curious if I can pick out mistakes or things I missed now with a bit more experience.

Maybe it's sensationalized but it seems fair to call out a specific example of profiting off of gross advertising without having to call out ALL examples of gross advertising. They shouldn't get a pass because other advertisers are also bad.

This says nothing about data capture through the app: it is solely about artificially promoting or suppressing of content within the app.
Making the justice system actually prove its cases instead of leaning on trumped up nonsense like cannabis is a very good thing.

The ten best books that thought me new ways of thinking about the world
I don’t know if your experience was on a Meta property, but it is interesting to think about the amount of blowback Twitter/X has received from advertisers who supposedly don’t want their ads shown next to unpalatable user generated content. But unpalatable ads next to a users posts? Sorry, no discussion about it and no recourse. Just another effect of being the product when using a free service I guess.
That's the extortion. Create a service with a network effect, so you don't have a choice in what to use because it's what your group uses, then tie it to another product and thwart anyone who tries to make a compatible implementation for any other device.

I mean, I'm not gonna give you the proof there as this is as anonymous an account as I can be.

One thing would be to try to look at the wait lists of various daycares. My buddies in TN are at ~3 years. We were at ~1.5 years. And yes, it's quite common in the US for the waitlist for a daycare to be longer than 40 weeks of human gestation.

Daycare in the US in general is really not very well tied to the local CoL. Many factors influence the cost and CoL is but one. Things like the quality of churches really affect things in ways that other services are not affected by normally.

In general, if there is a waitlist, then capitalism has failed. You'd just raise prices until there is no more waitlist. But with daycare, you can't really do that without knocking out a large percentage of the workforce. Hence waitlists.

NPR has a good PlanetMoney episode from a while back on the issues with daycare in the US. It's worth checking out.
Not only was it well written, it was sourced with actual research. The initial public leak stripped that out to try and make it sound less reasonable, it took a bit before the original was released publicly.

Also people forget that he posted it privately to an internal review group, looking for feedback before submitting it, and that internal group was the one that leaked it.

This comes off as election year pandering but it also probably shouldn't be a crime to begin with.

I don't use that particular drug, have never used it and have no desire to use it but I'm fine with it being legal as long as there are some restrictions on where people can use it in public. I don't want to have to smell that unpleasant plant on the streets or public transit or other public places. There are appropriate and inappropriate places to smoke tobacco and something similar should be done for marijuana. Also, minors should not be allowed to use it just as they aren't allowed to use tobacco or alcohol.
This is great. Back when I was a teenager I found some ancient servers on craigslist and picked them up, they ran in my bedroom closet and sounded like a jet engine. Think my parents were concerned
> ISPs charge for public IP addresses

Because NAT allows them to.

> Do you want to be charged for a large enough block of public IP addresses to cover every networked device in your house?

Yes.

> or you'd have to learn IPv6, which is WAY harder than dealing with port forwarding through an IPv4 NAT.

Back in 2005, maybe. Now, it works out of the box, either through SLAAC or DHCPv6.

> Not to mention the premium you'd pay for a router with an actual firewall

In 2005, maybe. Today, $10 routers off AliExpress have a firewall, probably set to "deny incoming" by default.

> Port forwarding on a working router is generally a lot easier than a firewall.

I know for a fact that the routers of at least two ISPs use the exact same page for port forwarding and the firewall. You don't enter iptables commands, you specify a list of ports that you want to be open for a specific address, except now you don't need to differentiate between "source port" and "destination port".

I heard of "old guys" doing this for rural cabins in Colorado.

They would take old 4 cylinder VW pancake motors, convert 2 of the cylinders to compress air, run the remaining 2 on gas, and then use the waste heat to heat the cabin. Then you have compressed air, heat, and electricity (you use the motor to spin a generator)

You can partially offload with some backends (e.g. llama.cpp and derivatives) but speed gains from that don't come in until it's mostly offloaded. I have 8GB VRAM and it's not enough to get any boost on mixtral in Q8. 16GB might do better or it might not.

The speed is quite good even on CPU only though, I get 3.5 tokens per second with 6 cores and DDR5-6000. For comparison llama2-70B is less than 1 t/s on the same hardware in Q4. And, subjectively, Mixtral performs better.
Their methodology (comparing hashtag counts) does not make sense for detecting whether content is systematically promoted and demoted to fit some agenda. I can make one video, have it artificially promoted to reach a million viewers, and that's a hashtag increment of 1. Or I can make ten videos that are all unfairly demoted and therefore barely get any views, and that's a hashtag increment of 10.

The discrepancy for Kashmir-related hashtags makes me think there are a lot of Pakistanis on TikTok who never use Instagram...

Congress might be slow, but our patchwork of courts are even slower to come up with clear and comprehensive case law, and constitutional amendments can take hundreds of years to ratify.

There is a solution for the problem you're highlighting: Congress passes a law which delegates authority to a regulatory agency. For instance, Congress doesn't need to be an expert on the latest airplanes in order to regulate them. They have assigned the FAA to do this.

IodéOS – new installer program available for Linux and windows
Hey all,

We have just released in beta a new program available for linux and windows to install iodéOS in a few clicks! Feel free to test it out and make suggestions.

For the record, iodéOS is an open source Android based Operating System freed from Google trackers. iodéOS analyses in real-time connection attempts from your apps and allows you to:
- see the identity of all recipients and the quantity of data they wish to collect
- block if you want malicious recipients (advertisements, malwares, spams, statistics & trackers)
- measure how privacy-respectful your apps are

Your router comes with a firewall for this very reason. IPv6 is enabled on over 40% the internet connections to Google, surely you don't think all of those people don't have any kind of firewall on their home network?
For context, NVIDIA stock is currently $489. This is an unprecedented, exceedingly negative call.

It’s an actual thing. Finland has closed its border to Russia in response.

These are people that normally Russia would stop from getting into Russia, but they are instead funneling to Finland to create problems. People that are deeply unprepared for the climate there. It’s not a “large” number of people at the moment. But this has been part of Russian hybrid warfare playbook for a while.
That's an interesting hypothesis and seems to make sense. I was also wondering why he would pardon people who were never arrested or detained. Felt a bit dystopian thought crime-esque, but there's likely some sort of logic behind it.

You might be confusing conservation of momentum and energy with respect in the context of elastic and inelastic collisions.

In a perfectly elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

As you say, many real collisions are inelastic to a significant degree. In these cases, momentum is still conserved, but the kinetic energy is converted to another form of energy.

Conservation of linear and angular momentum are fundamental and exact laws of nature resulting from translational and rotational invariance.

Is that really worth it to get back what I would assume is on average a 3 year old laptop? Do you then re-issue this old, used gear to your new hires?

That aside, using your work equipment for personal stuff (or vice-versa) is just a really dumb idea.

Yes, although not cheaper than prison (only applicable for those that commit felonies and then get a slap on the wrist instead of prison time, but we have plenty of that).
Other difficult books, in a somewhat increasing order of difficulty:

1) Gormenghast series, by Mervyn Peake

2) The third period of Henry James (The Wings of the Dove, The Ambassadors, and The Golden Bowl).

3) The Death of Virgil, by Hermann Broch

I do suggest trying Gormenghast, it's an amazingly written fantasy series.

It'll vary a lot by your background and how much you play around along the way.

If you're pretty familiar with most of the concepts and stick to the requirements, you can do the whole thing in 40-50h. OTOH, if you're encountering new concepts and really want to internalize them and/or if you take fun detours then I'd plan on 100-150h or more.

"Unknown unknowns" is a bit of a cliche at this point, but people across the political spectrum widely acknowledge it as an insightful aphorism. No need to apologize.
As a data point, the ISP I'm personally using here in Australia (Launtel, highly recommended) has static IPs as an option.

It's not the default choice (most people don't need one), but people that do need a static IP can get one.
Learning how to tune models/use their eco-system like that to get good outputs is a skill with about equivalent learning curve to actual art skills. You might not learn to draw, but you learn a skill that's honestly more marketable for tomorrow society.

I appreciate your sharing your experience, I’m sure it will help others and/or provide a note of caution. I once lost thousands of emails because I wasn’t aware of something I apparently should have been aware of. You can bet I went forward doing things differently. A password management system without a backup could be very difficult. I sincerely hope you have a connected device that hasn’t been synced yet. I would not have thought that deleting the Google Chrome browser history would also delete all the passwords too.
That's absolutely ridiculous, their costs are nowhere near that. Their rideshare price is $5500/kg, and every kg they sell is displacing their own payloads so there's simply no way they're pricing it at 7% of their costs. Even excluding R&D Shuttle was far more costly.
Ah, yes, kill or be killed.
I've seen this video, and it's an interesting deep dive into the history of NAT, but it brushes aside IPv6 as an "alternative solution" and doesn't pay any more attention to it. Of course, that's not necessarily something to dig into when the topic is NAT and not IPv6, but it's hardly a defence for NAT, merely an explanation on how we got to this point.

Does this still use a custom hardware description language?

The curriculum here is very solid - my only critique is that it uses a custom HDL instead of Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog.

It wouldn’t have been a huge stretch to do that, and make the skills taught that much more real as a result. Without the practical aspect of exposure to real HDLs, it seems more like a toy than a tool.
Then if you have a firewall you have the same port forwarding problems than with a NAT.
The author seems pretty credible to me. Maybe try to look at this a bit more objectively.

Don't worry about it.

Yeah I'm a little surprised not to see the article touch on keyboard layouts (e.g. DEC, Sun) that had Ctrl in the home row where Caps Lock is on a PC keyboard. While Emacs may have been initially developed on the "space cadet" keyboard, it really became popular on Unix systems that often had an even-easier-to-reach Ctrl key. And to this day swapping caps lock with a modifier remains fairly common.
