> They do not do a good job of tracking the physical structure of electromagnetism

What do you mean by tracking the physical structure?

By this, do you mean the typical EM formulation of Maxwell's laws produces Gauss's law and Faraday's law (which are instructive) where as the Geometric Algebra formula produces ∇F = J (less instructive?).

> and in fact end up baking in a lot of assumptions about the setting that fail to generalize.

Can you explain a bit more what you mean here please?
If your shop takes $3600 an hour in revenue, but there's a problem with the till which means that people can't pay for 10 seconds, you haven't lost $10 in revenue, you've just shifted revenue from $1/second to $0/second for 10 seconds and $2/second for the next 10 seconds.

No it doesn't. The presence of the complex world can surface in subtle ways, without the need for extensive expository prose.

How about all the historical fiction of Science or Atheism vs Christianity?

In physics you never have measurements differentiating between distance 2 and say 2+10^-20, and that gives enough space to hide any 'bell curve' you want.

I've seen bitflips on overclocked systems. Some ram is overclocked out-of-the-box; try disabling BIOS features like "XMP" (Intel Extreme Memory Profiles). Always use MemTest86 or similar to make sure your hardware is good when building a new system or changing BIOS settings.
I built this as a replacement for Lens since I have some long standing issues with it. Lens also went fully proprietary recently, and this is one piece of software I think needs to be open.

Seabird is MPLv2 licensed with no CLA. The UI uses GTK and code is written in Go, so it should be familiar to Kubernetes devs. There are builds for all major platforms, although GTK on Windows is noticeably slower to render (help wanted). Let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
This is pretty interesting. It's not like HTTP needs an intermediate representation, but since cURL is so ubiquitous, it ends up functioning as one. cURL is popular so people write tools that can export requests as cURL, and it's popular so people write tools that can import it.
I'm a big fan. Variable fonts aren't just neat -- they're a godsend for graphic design when making things like posters, packaging, etc. To get the font weight just right, to get the letter widths just right. When dealing with a font that comes in just 2 weights or even 5, it's so common to want something exactly in between. Or when you want the typeface to be condensed, but the condensed version is way too condensed -- you want "halfway condensed" which is almost never a thing.

And I don't think most variable fonts require any kind of Turing-complete programming language? They're basically just interpolation. And interpolation is not that much added complexity for the rendering engine.

I agree with you that the kind of Turing-complete calculations that fonts these days are able to do, make me feel uneasy as well. But for me, variable fonts don't fall into that category. I look forward to the day when variable fonts are the norm for typefaces that come in different weights and widths.

> we accept…. We accept…

I’d like to point out that as individuals, our ‘acceptance’ is not required nor even checked for. As Americans (speaking for my own countrymen only) we accept it the same way we accept our air quality. We, in broad strokes, may choose only to drive, or to remain stationary - just as we can breathe the air, or just stop breathing. Other practical options only even exist in very specific exceptional places or situations (most of them require you to commit to stay in an urban core 100% of the time, and that space physically cannot contain all Americans at once, due to space constraints, which we perceive via cost signals).

Of course, if the entire country were built out when NYC was built out, without cars even being hypothesized, things may have been very different today. But we shouldn’t pretend that most car-dependent people are choosing to be so, except maybe those who made an unforced decision to move from say, Manhattan to Phoenix. And even they may have accepted it only grudgingly in exchange for some other benefit such as weather, lower taxes, proximity to family, etc.

Note: I personally would like to not be car dependent, so please don’t try to explain to me why cars are bad. I cringe every time i see 327 SUVs idling in the street waiting to drop off each student in a school, on a warm, dry morning in the ‘burbs.
Having an Unsubscribe All Lists checkbox doesn't minimize that. It just adds form noise and pointless work for a dev. The minimization already happens with the preceding checkboxes to select each list to unsubscribe from, but that's just as inherent to the form as the desirable feature of being able to keep certain subscriptions while unsubscribing from others in an efficient way.

A button or link in place of the 'All' checkbox makes sense and is easiest for users to understand, and has less user actions required.

Treat your customers well even when they're exiting (especially) so they remember something good next time they consider you. "Well at least they made it easy to unsubscribe" is better than "Well they made it unnecessarily complicated to unsubscribe". No need to add insult to injury.

3.2 seconds for fastest safe solution. So not bat i'd say.
While not directly related to this benchmark, Java doesn't really have meaningful GC pauses anymore (https://openjdk.org/jeps/439). With the new ZGC, the worst-case GC pause is under 1ms (and usually far below that).
Here's the current status of state cases, if anyone's curious:

- "FIRE’s lawsuit asks Utah to halt enforcement of the law and declare it invalid. Other states — including New Jersey and Louisiana — are proposing and enacting similar laws that threaten Americans’ fundamental rights. In Arkansas and Ohio, courts have blocked enforcement of these laws."

https://www.thefire.org/news/lawsuit-utahs-clumsy-attempt-ch... ("Lawsuit: Utah’s clumsy attempt to childproof social media is an unconstitutional mess")

I.e. at least four states' legislatures have passed laws like this, federal injunctions have paused two. Two others (Utah, Louisiana) aren't in effect yet.
By that measure a loss of 1 second would be $7k lost revenue. A 100ms outage would be $700.

Reality is that revenue wouldn't be lost if you had a 100ms outage, it wouldn't even be noticed.
> I'm curious how this will be implemented

The only way to determine age is to compile a database of gov-issued IDs and related data. Which is an unconstitutional barrier to speech. Which is why this will get struck-down like each similar law.

The part about ID data eventually being shared with 3rd parties, agencies - and/or leaked - is a bonus.
I don't think enforcement actually needs to be very tightly controlled. The barriers that are put in place like the one you describe are already enough to create a social milieu where parents and kids with think twice about these things and understand that there is a recognised harm potential.

There's nothing stopping you pouring your youngsters a glass of wine with dinner, but as a society we've made the dangers of alcohol and similar things so well understood that no parent wants to.

Maybe it's because I'm already 30something and I "believe" the Douglas Adams quote [0] but I don't understand the need for this kind of changes.

Should we also remove all gendered prefix and go the route english went, with a generic "the"?

> I believe MIT has strong prominence in Asia is mainly due to its proximity to Harvard.

I don’t know that that is true — when my parents decided to visit the US for a couple of years in the late 60s my Indian grandfather apparently said that I would end up at MIT.

At that point I was just a little kid with no bias for science vs arts, but apparently didn’t consider Harvard relevant, even though one of his brothers was a diplomat and another a literature prof and he himself surely would have heard of the place.

(I’m glad my parents didn’t tell me this “prophecy” until long after I graduated as I did end up going back and attending MIT!)

That’s a very interesting observation and it would be nice to see people chiming in to speculate what could have been the trigger.

My take is that narratives are growing kind of exponentially. We see it in videogames, webtoons, fan fiction. Even literature has many more writers than twenty years ago (even if not “published authors”, but people writing on Wattpad, newsletters, creative writing workshops, etc).

More writers (amateur or professional), more fantasy writers in particular, means more interest in writing resources. And worldbuilding is a topic that it is not that much explored in other writing resources.

I would even guess that if Tolkien did not actually invent the concept itself, he was the one that made it a relevant discussion topic. So it is a relatively new topic.

It's rare to see physical switches like mobile toggles. Most switches show both labels with the switch pointing to the label. It's clear what the status of the switch is and what changing the switch will do.

With software however, the inconsistency comes from knucklehead design. Hipster aesthetics. "But I want ours to be different!" They introduce toggles that don't follow convention and make unclear the status and behavior, or if touching it will even do anything. It then muddies up in people's minds how the conventional ones look and behave.
There's kids growing up called "siri" so I'm sure the phrase "HEY SIRI" will be quite common in some households.

Software for Jetson boards should be viewed as firmware for these embedded/industrial devices. They get installed in a robot, MRI machine, etc with a specific bespoke application targeting what they came with and are never touched again -or- supported by some large commercial firm with the skillsets you describe.

I was as firm/absolute in my original reply as I was because anyone who thinks life with Jetson is similar to life with a discrete Nvidia GPU on x86_64 will be in for a huge shock and 95% of the time it will end up on their shelf in a year or two.

It's one thing when it's the latest random ARM SBC you bought for $50 with no vendor support, it's another thing entirely when you're spending > $600 (or $2000 as this started!!!!) on a Jetson.

> Caltech is too obscure. Stanford starts gaining provenance with Silicon Valley Internet tech bros I believe.

Caltech is much smaller than MIT. It’s true that Stanford was still not well known outside the western US into the early 80s, but its global prominence increased significantly long before those “tech bro” carpetbaggers showed up — the causality runs the other way.
What team did you report this issue to? I think this is more about the Slack Google Drive plugin's behavior than Google Docs per se. If someone with permission to view the doc takes a screenshot of the first page of the doc and sends that to you, there's nothing really that Google Docs can do to stop that. That's analagous to what's happening here. The Google Docs Slack integration is what's sharing the preview image.

I agree that it's poor behavior and potentially could be part of a critical security compromise. But you'd need to get a hold of the right team. The Google Docs core engineers probably don't care and couldn't fix it anyway.

I don't know for sure (and can't check now since I no longer work there), but my impression at a former job that made heavy use of Slack and Google Docs was that in a corporate setting with Google Enterprise or whatever it's called, the Slack integration was far more cautious about showing previews. It even alerted you if you posted a document that not everyone in the channel could view, and gave you the ability to grant them access right then and there. IIRC, previews were hidden if you didn't have access. I don't know if that is a different plugin or just better behavior in a corporate setting.
Yeah it does get harder with kids. I am sometimes able to split the reading time in the clock, like when there's a half hour or less between meetings

I didn't notice the price and don't really care. Either way it's much cheaper than eating out and I'm happy to pay a bit more in absolute terms for better food. (E.g., even if the relative difference is a 100% price increase, it's still a couple of bucks for a big bag of pasta).

I like the shape and the texture, and it does seem to hold a lot of sauce. By "not particularly discerning" I meant that I'm not a pasta expert and I might well not notice something like it not cooking perfectly evenly, and I wouldn't really know whether there being other equivalent pastas out there that have similar or better features. I'm just familiar with the usual stuff (spaghetti, macaroni, ravioli etc.).
Engine braking uses the tyres to slow down. Every motion a car does uses the tyres, no matter how it's done mechanically.

And as other comments mentioned, there's regenerative braking on EVs which, in tyres' mechanical terms, behave very similarly to engine braking.
>It is the self that is the result of processes from the interaction between consciousness and the body (including the brain).

Processes are abstract concepts. They can't interact with concrete objects, except through the concrete objects that support them. Talking about consciousness interacting with the brain makes as much sense as talking about movement interacting with a car. It's a process that's running on the brain. If it can be said to "interact" with the brain, what's happening ultimately is the brain interacting with itself.

Futbol fan here, and MLS Season Pass holder last season. If you're wondering I support the PHL Union in the MLS (and Tottenham in the PL).

Based on comments I keep seeing on social media there are still a fair number of fans who are not happy about this. Part of it having to pay for Apple TV *and* the season pass. But my sense is the true insult is there are no longer home games on local (broadcast) TV.

Naturally The Messi Effect helped last season but it will be interesting to see how many renew. I also wonder if the MLS brand is hurting itself over the long term. There s quite a bit of PL on Peacock, for half the price, and 2x to 5x in quality of the play.

The Apple MLS partnership might be a good business deal in the short term, but my sense is it's hurting futbol (in the USA) and the MLS over the long.

I'd be interested in hearing other's take on the situation.
