Before Hamilton, "action" meant "accumulated living force", i.e. the integral of the kinetic energy.

The principle of the minimum action of Maupertuis was true only in some restricted cases, and it was false in most mechanics problems.

Hamilton has introduced a new physical quantity, for which he has used only the name "function S". He formulated a variational principle for the "function S", analogous to the principle of the minimum action, but from which it is possible to deduce the system of equations of Lagrange, so it has general applicability.

Hamilton's "function S" is relativistically invariant and nowadays it is usually called Hamilton's action. It is the integral of the Lagrangian, not of the kinetic energy, like the traditional action. It is proportional with the phase of the wave function in quantum mechanics. In relativistic mechanics, the Lagrangian is the component of the momentum-energy that is tangent to the trajectory in space-time, so "function S" is the line integral of the momentum-energy over the trajectory in space-time.

So Hamilton's variational principle is quite different in meaning and applicability from the principle of the minimum action that existed before him. It remains true in all forms of physics that have been discovered after Hamilton.
I skimmed through the article but that's a lot of assumptions there if so.

1. So let's say that possible range of values is true (10 characters of specific range + 1). That would represent one big circle of possible area where videos might be.

2. Distribution of identifiers (valid videos) is everything. If Youtube did some contraints (or skewing) to IDs, that we don't know about, then actual existing video IDs might be a small(er) circle within that bigger circle of possibilities and not equally dispersed throughout, or there mught be clumping or whatever... So you'd need to sample the space by throwing darts in a way to get a silhouette of their skew or to see if it's random-ish, by I don't know let's say Poisson distribution.

Only then one could estimate the size. So is this what they're doing?

Also.. anyone bothered to you know, ask Youtube?

Agreed. The only thing that Musk shares with Jobs is that he could make a decree and it would happen, as well as a sense of showmanship.

It's easy to shit on Musk (and I'm happy to do it), but I think it's important to recognize past contributions for what they are. I have zero respect for him otherwise.
I'm assuming:

1. Generate a list of suburbs names separated by |
2. Simplify the regex:
2.1. Convert to a NFA
2.2. Turn it into a DFA
2.3. Merge redundant states
2.4. Turn it back into a regex

Both can be true. People hate fingerprinting when it tracks you across sites without your consent. If a service is doing it for your benefit with your express consent, then what’s the problem?
It's not a US thing. If you think it is, you're just not being told about it by the news sources you read. Just a few days ago the head of a large UK insurance company stated directly to Parliament that she insisted on personally reviewing any attempt to hire a "non diverse" person, whilst "diverse" (i.e. non male British) could be hired more easily.

This is by far not the only such example in British life.

So this type of discrimination is rampant and out in the open. If you only read the Guardian you may not be aware of it.
I don't think that it's truly universal, but quite a few image compression schemes have a similar structure if you stand back and squint:

1. Use a reversible linear transform to transform the image into some other space. (It'll still require the same amount of data to represent)
2. Throw away a bunch of the values (set them to zero, or round them to low precision, etc)
3. Now that there are some repetitive zeroes or whatever, a conventional data compression algorithm (like LZW, Huffman, or interval/arithmetic) can make it smaller

Even simple things like resizing an image smaller can be fit into this framework: step 1 is a simple blur, step 2 sets a bunch of pixels to zero, step 3 discards them.

(I don't think fractal compression can be fit into this framework, but I could be wrong. That's the only exception I can think of offhand.)

Eh, I think piece is better viewed as just an extended interview/thinkpiece on Holland. But it is let down a bit by the framing, which doesn't really convey that. Yes, it starts out of the gate with Amabel but that kind of thing is so common nowadays in "long form journalism" that it doesn't really signify anymore that she's the actual centerpiece of the article rather than just some "inciting incident" kind of character.

Another article in the same issue of The New Yorker on crossword puzzles does exactly this with Mangesh Ghogre. It leads with him but is really meant as more of a "broad" piece in contrast to the one about Amabel Holland which is more a deeper dive on a single individual.

Because, I agree, if it were really going to be a broader piece about the personal, political art of boardgame design I don't know how you can't talk about Spirit Island and it's anti-colonialist theme pushing back against decades of thoughtless boardgame theming, which could contain dozens of examples of things like Mombasa/Skymines.
sedra & smith is widely considered an excellent recommendation, but on skimming it, it seems that it does not cover solid-state physics at all or even mention any quantum effects; madou does spend a few chapters on solid-state physics, and of course feynman covers elementary quantum mechanics quite comprehensively. sedra & smith does go into a lot more depth on some aspects of chip design than horowitz & hill or even camenzind. it gives the ebers–moll equation in table 6.2, just not by name, and describes the inner workings of transistors in considerably more detail than the other books

horowitz & hill, camenzind, and feynman are much better written than sedra & smith or madou. the quality of the writing in sedra & smith in particular is quite poor; it contradicts itself every few pages, and often says things that require great effort to interpret as a correct statement, at least in the 7th edition i'm looking at

horowitz & hill also have much nicer schematics than sedra & smith or, especially, camenzind
Thanks, I’ve been looking for something like that for quite some time. Even thought about making my own since none exist but it’s been years and I haven’t.
One thing to nuance is that this style is not universally the right way to use PowerPoint in many contexts, a slide deck is the preread and the post-read notes, because it is not considered a presentation tool but a document with the concept of one idea per page at heart. In consulting, it is one of the key deliverables (though what is discussed is condensed and has moved some exhibits to an appendix section). Some clients preferred to also have a Word memo, which works well as a pre-read but doesn't have the intuitive link with the preread looking the same as the document being discussed .

Now I work at a place where everyone makes slides with fewer words, for preread, discussion and reference, and I find they're useless as a preread, because there isn't enough context.

With Amazon Go you can request a refund for any item, whether you actually bought it or not, and they just… give it to you. Don’t even have to return the item to the store. I assume there are some limitations and it’s based on good faith, but I don’t know because I’ve never had any reason to request one.

I have had them miss items and fail to charge me for them, though. Even if you want to be honest about it though, there’s really nothing that can be done, since they don’t charge you and provide you with a receipt until hours after you’ve left the store.
As a young linux admin I had a webserver crash and fail to boot afterward.

I used a live CD to boot it, but could not fix the boot partition.

Since I was able to read the root partition I chrooted into it and started nginx from there.

I honestly really dont think reality is coupled in any way with any one given viewpoint. Reality is reality. People suffering are people suffering no matter where. If the view of reality you want your child to have, somehow doesnt agree with the actual physical truth of war and suffering then then I have to say thats pretty messed up.

TikTok is definitely not a great teacher for anything. IT should be a parents/family/communities job to walk children through the very real atrocities committed by our fellow human beings around the world

I am so glad my parents thought about stuff like this and gave me the tools to think critically and empathetically about the suffering of "others".

If you havent seen it, you should watch Grave of the Fireflies. IMO you should show it to your children. Everyone should see it. War is horrible.

But that doesn't matter. Cars are supposed to be able to make it through some difficult situations without being totaled. I drive over steep driveways at least once a year where my car scrapes the pavement. This sort of thing is to be expected. I can't think of anything I could run over that would total any petroleum powered car besides an actual cliff that would cause more damage than the vehicle is worth.
I once built a backup script in Batch (Windows Shell scripting language). That was a while before Powershell got popular, and needed to work on everything from Windows 2000 to Windows 7 or server. Additionally, as I was working for a small (read: 5 guys) IT shop with small customers, it needed to be free, while still supporting lots of advanced functionality (automatic diff backups, restore operations, rotation, network drive mapping, configuration parsing, etc.) that ruled out most proper solutions.
While it wrapped a low-level shadow snapshot tool, it still got a few hundred lines long, did crazy logic and output stuff, and even required me to create a unit testing framework for Batch files from scratch. If that all doesn’t sound really noteworthy, it’s because you don’t know that curse of a shell :)
I've been smartifying dumb devices at home as well and came up with similar rubegoldbergesque solutions, although ultimately I didn't need to actually implement any of these as I found other ways to achieve my goals.

One of them involved pointing an old webcam to a segment display, convert shitty image to monochrome in a way that makes vague shapes for the digits and other state icons but clamps everything else to oblivion, and just use some fixed pixel position to "read" and get device state from that.

Made some fun prototyping though.

Why even mention wars? We have the money for Hyperloops, Solar Freaking Roadways, Boring Company, and so much more... you know... terrible ideas that clearly won't work, don't even pass a sniff test, but we throw millions or sometimes billions at. I'm totally okay with pushing the bounds of what we can do as humans, and even encourage it. But running on hype is not a sustainable system and arguably fraudulent (I believe it is). The Bloomberg article sure makes Hyperloop look like it is...

I different version of hype applies in a different way. With the systems destroying themselves through compounding "compromises" to get political allies. It's a Vox video, so high level but not a bad intro[0]. Tldr: easy to derail (pun intended) any political project, and the bigger the project the easier it is to derail.

Public transport sucks in the UK too. Sure, London has its underground(and overground) but it’s so poorly designed it’s unbelievable.

Yes. Long journey. Shortest version goes:I read everything for decades. Including the koan about Vimilakirti's "Thundering Silence". Ran into freebuddhistaudio. Intrigued by the Vimilakirti lectures.

Sangharakshita mentioned the "White Lotus Sutra". Not knowing anything about it, I wondered if there was a blue lotus sutra or a pink lotus sutra. No. Just the one. I had honestly not heard of it in all those years! I listened to his talk on the parables and symbols in it. I downloaded these to an iPod, which was great for long drives.

Wanted to know more. So I went to my spiritual provider, Half Price Books, and found "Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism" by Richard Causton, former head of SGI UK, and the first volume of "Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra" by Daisaku Ikeda.

These were really revolutionary compared to all I had previously read. I moved to the boondocks after a divorce and it was scary at the outset with pumps failing, pipes freezing and storms howling. They helped me cope.

After a while I really felt that the only way the world is going to break out of its endless cycle of hate, war, and retribution is through human revolutions, one person at a time, so I looked for a Buddhist group "nearby". Apple Maps said Fresno, 50 miles away, so I joined in order to practice with a group working for the same goal.

I am especially intrigued by the "Innumerable Meanings" prequel to the Sutra, which most people gloss over. But Mr. Toda didn't, and I can see why.

That was a very long journey to the Lotus Sutra, essentially on my own. I had never heard of it, nor SGI, for ages.

Revolutionary aspects are mentioned here:

But to me, the notion of Bodhisattvas voluntarily taking on karma and returning to earth really struck home. It's Vimilakitri's "illness" and even Neal Donald Walsch mentions the idea of returning to earth rather than escaping it, though I can't find that reference.

The fact that there are similar ideas in physics matters to me. Some are referred to in the Indra's Net analogy.

http://www.heartspace.org/misc/IndraNet.html

The net effect, in short, is greater purpose and meaning in life. That made the long, lonely journey worthwhile.

Thank you for asking.

The identity of Banksy is a semi open secret, and the chap filmed taking it isn't Banksy . . . although the argument might be made that perhaps he was hired to take it.

That said the first thing that happened after the piece went up was the online discussion about how long before someone took it.
Same thing if you’re trying to buy something. I have tried to buy a second hand Nintendo Switch for months on Facebook Marketplace. Every seemingly good deal inevitably turns out to be a scam. It’s easy to spot because very soon

1. Turns out that the location is not the advertised one (the city), but in the countryside
2. The seller will only ship, but they need to receive your money first
3. A check on their identity reveals that they don’t exist anywhere else and they signed up to Facebook in the past 3 months
I know it was true at least a couple of years ago, but there is no guarantee that they keep it.
Heavily discounted shipping (media mail) also supported Amazon's initial rise. Funny how cheap shipping is coming full circle.

By starting with books (and then CDs/DVDs), Jeff picked a good target: inventory that doesn't depreciate too fast, subsidized shipping, not needing to collect sales taxes up-front, high costs at b&m level, high value per weight/volume, popularity of carrying large inventory (books aren't too fungible)

Much better than pets.com selling cat and dog food.
It's not illegal in the UK. Go read the Equality Act again. You're allowed to engage in racist and sexist discrimination if you're doing it to achieve affirmative action. That's why executives can say they discriminate against men in parliamentary testimony and nothing happens.

This is what is known as "vigorous representation": Twitter's lawyers would of course know that offer, acceptance, and consideration produce a contract, but if their client wants them to say something stupid, they have to do it...

I think you might be interpreting my point about SNR narrowly and literally, when I meant it in the broadest sense. Obviously social networks are not solely about exchanging information (which I never said...), they serve all sorts of other purposes, connecting and forming bonds being a major one.

I think you're also not being particularly charitable in your interpretations of what I'm saying, or opening yourself up to the possibility for other ways things can operate. If you were to be, you'd find we have quite a bit of agreement about this. Total signal also matters, good point I can see how you read it that way. I'd put that in the umbrella of SNR, as my intent is to advocate for better signal - both in quantity and quality.

Where I think we may disagree is that existing filtering capabilities are sufficient and broadly used. I mean, if you can imagine a world where it takes users less effort in setting up their twitter account to get the same quality output, then we're in agreement that there's work to be done on signal and noise. Currently it's a hell of a lot of effort, and you still run into a lot of unnecessary strife and bullshit. I'd push you to consider that twitter's current feature set around discourse is also not the end all be all of online communication, and there is room for improvement. If you can accept that there is room for improvement in these domains, then we're on the same page here.

In fact I think this very conversation is a decent example of how the design of a medium can cause some unnecessary strife and result in the rather silly situation of being in violent agreement. Food for thought.
SpaceX to just miss goal of 100 Falcon launches in 2023 – SpaceNews
I never said they should test for everything.

OP's description suggests it was an error that's common to all the deployed instances that received the update, rather than some specific combination of environment and that deployment.

It would have allowed them to run the same deployment locally and use physical access (serial, a display, sd card, whatever) to capture the error log.

What they came up with is clever but it's very surprising that they needed it, especially given that they have very limited remote access to the units that are in the wild.
The maps UX (zoomable infinite scrolling map) was implemented independently previously to maps, which was originally built by an australian start up (?) iirc before being acquired by google.

The term "AJAX" was coined around 2005 though. Before XMLHttpRequest there were iframe hacks. Most early stuff didn't really work due to browser incompatibilities and bad security.
From the article:

>Despite missing the goal, the company’s launch cadence has been a significant achievement compared both to its past activity as well as global competitors. SpaceX launches increased by more than 50% from 2022 and are triple what it performed in 2021.
In my first job, a spinning hard disk had been disturbing people for months by making screeching noises. I had been playing a lot with hardware so I knew that pushing the metal part on top of the disk could make that sound disappear. And it did! Told them to keep backups fresh and get a new hard disk.
Thanks, looks like you're right and this demo is running on 9 GroqRacks (576 chips). I think we may also have an 8 rack version in progress.

I don't think it is so much about win/partial loss but considering large views or long term thinking/strategizing. Especially true in politics because we've developed a system where a representative is only concerned about the timeframe of an election cycle, rather than concerned with what they can do for the people. And we hold them accountable by that metric. So any project that is longer than an election cycle can end up being a game of hot potato where the last one holding it loses. In reality there are several members to blame. It's like how people judge a president based on the economy yet often policies they make don't actually have large effects until years later (definitely some are shorter term, but also remember that effects compound and set a stage). World is too complicated and we're too dumb. We can be not as dumb, but that's not quite easy because complexity is de facto hard.
