What does the word "shill" mean to you? Are books not supposed to advertise or e promoted? I'm not sure what your trying to say.
Maxwell saying that his theory "attributes electric action to tensions and pressures in an all-pervading medium... the medium being identical with that in which light is supposed to be propagated" suggests that Maxwell himself did not view his theory to be contradicting the existence of an aether (or was being coy about it). Which is especially interesting because Maxwell based his theory on Faraday's, and Faraday didn't believe in the aether.[1]

[1] Michael Faraday's Thoughts on Ray Vibrations, 1846, cited by Maxwell in his paper. Faraday says: "The view which I am so bold to put forth considers, therefore, radiation as a kind of species of vibration in the lines of force which are known to connect particles and also masses of matter together. It endeavors to dismiss the aether, but not the vibration." (https://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/Education/wfarad1846.html)

Most discussions around this argue about the implementation details the technology, perhaps as a proxy for those to signal disapproval of the proposed legislation. I’m guessing it’s because of either not wanting to directly express opposition to this idea at the risk of looking like a Luddite, small-government conservative, or whatever unpopular-in-California group that might happen to also agree, or they may might not have a compelling or logically sound reason to oppose it.

The implementation details are irrelevant. The criticisms of the technology will be met with continued improvements until those who supposedly oppose it are satisfied when it becomes rock solid, i.e. don’t strawman your own argument. You are also entitled to hold your own opinion on this, absent of any evidence or really anything to back it up.

The simple question I ask is:

> If we assume that this technology works every time, all the time, would you still welcome this law?

For me, absolutely not. This actively takes control away from the driver and for that reason, this is an unacceptable solution. This is just an opinion I hold.
I agree that on balance, we should spend more effort on data than modeling, but it is just not true that modeling doesn't matter. Transformer-2023 is different from Trnasformer-2020 and cumulative improvement is significant. https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.00752 did such benchmark.

If choice between Transformer and RWKV doesn't seem to matter to you, the only reason is that while Transformer-2020 evolved to Transformer-2023, RWKV-v1 (which is from 2021) also evolved to RWKV-v5. If you use Transformer-2020 or RWKV-v1 today you will feel the difference.

We’re currently 16~ software engineers at DuckDB Labs! I think its a good size to be productive but also stay nimble.
Some things also, weirdly, turn out to be unimportant. If you start a company with great project estimates internally but a mediocre product, you’ll fail. And if you make a great product but struggle to estimate feature costs internally, you’ll do fine.

It sure would be nice if we could all correctly estimate costs, but accurate estimates are clearly not essential for startups to crush it.
Rooftop solar never really made sense in the big picture kind of way. It's about 2x the cost of non-rooftop solar, so why should we be putting it on roofs when there is still plenty of non-roof space to put it? If we get to a point where we've run out of room for solar...then sure, roofs are great (although residential roofs should probably be the last roofs after big, flat industrial/commercial roofs), but the only reason it ever made sense to begin with was extremely large subsidies that probably should have gone to other renewable efforts.

> И indicates a digital circuit, while ИЕ is a counter

digital circuits were not only [И-], this prefix means arithmetic and register-based circuits. Because there were a lot more “digital” circuits starting with [Л-] (L- means Logic), [A-] for transmission gates and bus arbiters. [B-] for microprocessors and related stuff, [Р-] for memory, etc...

I would argue that Einstein made big leaps in knowledge to formulate SR and even more to formulate GR. He was able to imagine the motion of a body through a curved space-time as the source of gravity imo something that most people would not be able to do.
It depends what geoid model you use, and once you go down that rabbit hole it depends on the local gravitational field which is affected by things like mountains, not only the centrifugal effect.

The two-layer separation of our world between imperceivable objects that define perceivable objects seems quite similar to how philosophy is essentially split between metaphysics and philosophy that takes things for granted from that "first layer".

> The reason for these arguments is that the various interpreters are trying to describe the quantum world in the words of everyday language, and the language is inappropriate for the purpose. Everyday language describes the world as human beings encounter it. Our experience of the world is entirely concerned with macroscopic objects which behave according to the rules of classical physics. All the concepts that appear in our language are classical. [...] The battles between the rival interpretations [of quantum dynamics] continue unabated and no end is in sight.

Replace 'quantum dynamics' with metaphysics (or post-Kantian metaphysics) and the statement seems true as well.
It's the longitude that changes. Note that lat parralels are horizontal, but you measure on which parralel you are, so you measure north-south position.

The vast majority of radical prostatectomies don’t have incontinence (like 95%), and impotence isn’t common either. Furthermore, they’re usually in older men who are already impotent.

Many years ago incontinence was a side effect but it isn’t common any longer as surgery has gotten better.

The story of how they discovered the nerves they were cutting that causes impotence is kind of crazy, because for years it is basically like nobody even looked into it. Then one day someone decided to and they figured it out pretty quickly. That was in 1982.

Mind you, I know this has probably never been the case looking for example at Apple, Google or other shops that worked in similar spirit, but as a mainstream phenomena you have to not look further than the late 90s or early 2000s to find that average programmers in mid tier companies harboured a mix of non-empathy, non-sympathy and user frustration over a complicated interface and a designers call to do something about it, was regularly met with arrogance, a sigh or a frown.

Of course, this can also be credited to the fact that ui design for software was at a much different place in general.
You can't do it in practice because everybody has firewalls, and also widespread use of RFC1918 in v4 makes it hard to even send the right packets to the right place. I wasn't arguing that; my point was just that NAT won't stop any inbound connection, and if your inbound connections are being stopped by something... then the something isn't NAT.

> OK. How can I ping your address? It should be easy, right? I'll even give you my IP: 208.52.76.162 , what do I need to set up to be able to ping all your internal hosts?

> Let's make that experiment.

Sure. Since I'm using RFC1918 on the inside you'll need to be on my immediate upstream segment to test this, so I set up a gre tunnel for you. If you're on Linux you can run something like this (otherwise I'll leave it up to you to map the tunnel setup to whatever you're using):

$ ip netns add temp
$ ip link add gretap type gretap local 208.52.76.162 remote 151.115.75.246
$ ip link set netns temp gretap
$ ip netns exec temp "$SHELL"
(inside netns)$ ip link set up dev gretap
(inside netns)$ ip addr add 203.0.113.150/24 dev gretap

That will put you on my upstream segment, outside of my NATed network, using 203.0.113.150. Then just do this:

(inside netns)$ ip route add 192.168.0.0/24 via 203.0.113.58
(inside netns)$ ping 192.168.0.101
It's really sad to see all these people have to learn the hard way that it was all BS.

This author had a great stunt many years ago, before he joined "Big Tech", where he set up a fake "startup company" website. Apparently he got lots of inquiries from easily duped people who thought it was real. These companies were BS back then and are still BS now. But lots more people have gotten duped. Many, many thousands. Easy money has blinded people from seeing the truth.

There are only so many people that a company actually needs to run a search engine with ads that generates ~85% of their revenue along with other stuff that generates the remaining ~15%. To believe they truly need 139,000 or whatever the headcount is/was, that's just fantasy land. But that's what "Big Tech" is, a fantasy, just like the system described in this blog post. It's incredible how many people bought into it.

The actual shape of the Earth is independent of which ellipsoid model is chosen to locally or globally "best match" the actual shape.

The geoid model is the surface of gravitational equipotential and is a "shape of the gravitational field" not a "shape of the physical earth".

If we were discussing 16th century sailors rather than 21st century aviation you might have had a point.
You are probably right that natural language is not synonymous to a physical intuition. However, I believe that the way quantum theories are taught or even understood are in a much less intuitive manner than GR. Something that is evident by the number of different interpretations of quantum mechanics

a variable font is a more generic term than a metafont. it’s a bit pedantic but while both have parameters, a metafont is usually parametrically generated based on its concept of a pen, whereas a variable font usually has different parameters that have been defined by manual bezier drawings. I don’t remember if metafont itself can produce a variable font but people have used metapost to go to SVG and then UFO (font source) from there
You don't actually need radar to have air traffic control. It's just that ATC can't provide tracking services for the entire route.

Instead, aircraft file their routes in advanced (which are either a series waypoints, or a fixed airway), and pilots occasionally radio in position updates as they progress.

The airspace is still controlled, but without tracking, the separations are much larger. Any two aircraft that might be on the same route or might cross paths have different assigned altitudes, and they must communicate with ATC before changing altitude or route.
No Longer Trending on Artstation: Prompt Analysis of Generative AI Art
Highly intriguing paper in many ways.

There would be multiple paths to continue from here, including, say, the privacy of prompts and the demographic population using these tools. Regarding the latter, I'd postulate that it is dominated by young men, and hence no wonder young women dominate the topics, which I'd argue is fine (with some strings attached). There you have one sociological hypothesis. But now, the real gist is:

"Despite the vast volume of new synthetic images generative AI has brought us, its seems that
most people using these systems are after 'more of the same'. In the process of working with these datasets and being exposed to many thousands of images, our view is that few if any AI images are memorable in the way that human art is, and its difficult to see how they can be aesthetically unique in the way that human art can."

I remember reading this argument also in media (The Atlantic, it might have been). Fundamentally, we must then ask: Why is it so? That homogeneity not diversity increases despite the limitless possibilities offered? Subsequently, another sociological hypothesis: Mass culture, not subcultures?

The standard treatment of cancer forty years ago meant very aggressive chemotherapy, radiation, and radical surgery. Many have reduced quality of life afterwards, think having to walk with help or having brain fog for the rest of your life when for all intents and purposes, you were okay a few months before. Not being able to do strenuous chores like lifting a box off the floor. That is the nature of treatment after early detection, usually when cancer is discovered during an infection or with symptoms, it's too late. In the cases discussed above, early detection of mild cancers usually don't mean the patient has a poor quality of life at that time and would actually experience a drop in their QoL from the treatment itself.

Cancer treatment to this day is not magic, it's not like taking a pill other than in extremely rare cases. You should spend time looking at cancer statistics, the oft mentioned statistics state death rates are a result of "cancer or cancer treatments" because the treatments take a toll on your body and leave you disabled or infirmed for the rest of your life. Until we have better treatments, which are coming, yes if a tumor will go away on its own you best believe it this is better for the quality of life for patients. In fact, the people who stand to lose the most from such a re-diagnosis would be drug manufacturers or even hospitals who can charge a lot for radical surgery and hospices who care for patients undergoing chemo.

I didn't write this because it was too long already, but it depends on the technology.

I agree that CFC bans are a good example of when something was done.

But I can also name many situations in which nothing effective was done. And even in the face of overwhelming effort to halt it, the resistance amounted to little difference.

The difference all comes down to the technology.

So, my argument is that there are some technologies which can be addressed, and others which cannot.

Solveable problems tend towards those with few decision makers, low incentive to defect, adherence can be monitored, costs are internal, and where the problem exists at top-level of large organizations.

Unsolveable problems tend towards those with lots of decision makers, high incentives to defect, difficult to detect violators, costs are external, and the problem is personal.

CFCs fall more in the the former--there just aren't that many CFC manufacturers (apparently 18 companies accounted for > 99% of production). Consider for a second, an alternate world where everyone builds their own refrigerants in their garage, and each individual decided whether to use CFCs or an alternative. Do you think we would have solved CFCs by now?

This particular issue is very much the latter. The tech is already out in the open. The decision to use it responsibility or not is left to individuals.

You mentioned foisting externalities on the rest of society. I agree that this is happening. And I agree that society will not stand for it. But my point is not that society is going to accept it, it's that society cannot do anything about it. Oh, people will shout and stomp and raise hell. Hearing will be had. People will be lambasted in front of congress. Voters will decry politicians to do something. And efforts will be attempted. But in the end, it will all be for naught.

I realize this is a doomer outlook. Please don't mistake what I am saying as an endorsement.
Nobody using that quote is referring to the whims of the economy, they're referring to the different risk profiles between having 100 customers and being in an employee.

The idea is that being a business owner hedges your bets.

Whether that shakes out is entirely dependent on how important your product or service is to your customers in a downturn. Some services are completely worthless in a downturn (recruitment services), others can be essential or even come with higher demand (marketing).
History shows otherwise, as proven by any usable modern C compiler is now written in C++ like GNU's compiler, so C++ is definitely better for engineering large sytems, GNU did not had a chance either than accept it and move along into modern times.

Unfortunely I won't be around to see this happen, but I bet when the UNIX/Linux/BSD founders generation is gone, other OS pushed by big corps will take its place, maybe even taken by younger devs that took the free beer source code and created their new cool startup with an OS partially taken from it, NeXTSTEP/Solaris style.

Nonsense. The 1960s through 80s were when mafia awareness skyrocketed.

In terms of pop culture, The Godfather came out in the 1970s!

Anyway, Joseph Valachi and others turning states witness in the 60s broke down much of the secrecy. The RICO act was enacted in 1970 primarily to go after the mafia and led to numerous prosecutions over the next 20 years. If you lived in a large city you were aware of what was going on, and if not you heard about it on the evening news.

> Mafia was a very secretive organization.

The organizational structure and operations may have been secretive obviously but obviously they couldn't operate a large business if they were completely a secret.

Allegations that the 1960 presidential election was rigged by the mob were made at the time.
