It's not entirely clear "Energy" is a physical property either. By physical I mean a causal property of a system which is a basic constituent of reality.

For example in E = 1/2mv^2, a particle has kinetic energy in virtue of being matter in motion -- it is motion and matter which are basic. Energy is just a system of accounting which tracks motion in the aggregate over time (with kinetic/potential just being the future/past in the accounting) hence why energy conservation is just a temporal invarience.

When making arguments about the physical properties reality has (eg., whether aspects are continuous) you need to be exceptionally clear what your terms mean, and terminology in physics isnt designed for this.

There are no "information saturated volumes", this is a series of abstractions piled on top of each other.

All the words in this area have quite complex formal definitions that are have quite difficult to unpack semantics, you cannot just go around saying "saturated volumes" -- it is this sort of language which breeds cranks, and pop sci does it with abandon.

This entire discussion is a matter of several PhDs, and to be done only well by people with PhDs in the matter (philosophy of physics), or equivalent research. It's not possible to scrap fragaments of what compusci bloggers say and derive much that's likely to be actually correct.
When has Linus said something politically incorrect? And no, calling someone an idiot because of their incompetence as a programmer does not count.
The issue with optional vaccinations wasn't the poke, it was pulling soldiers or entire ships from the field. Those resources were there for a reason and either needed to be replaced or weakened our posture.

With COVID under control, and 96% of soldiers vaccinated there is no longer a need to make it mandatory.

This is what we want right? Policy based on evaluated risks and threats?
Yeah most companies simply don't care, and/or they don't have the processes the address issues like that

They also likely get dozens of similarly looking messages each day from "developing country" "pentesters" for irrelevant issues, so your message could have also ended up with similar looking "spam"
Does anyone have a grasp/understanding of how desktop environments work on Linux? I don't. For me, everything feels to get more and more convoluted and tacked on.
Thank god. Most if not all “smooth scrolling” suck on devices that already offer smooth scrolling natively. I tried contributing solution back but they just didn’t care.
I can't wait to get my hands on one of those.
Badly. The first problem was that I was an employee, even though I was the one who actually had made the product the investment was based on. No shares for me. I shouldn't have accepted it, but you don't say no to friends. The situation could have improved, but didn't. End of friendship.

Don't go into business with friends or family, certainly not on unequal terms.

OTOH, I later joined an existing start-up as a simple employee, to contribute to their great plan. It was a great plan, but couldn't be sold, so that ended, but I did end up befriending my most direct colleague of that period.
I enjoyed reading that. Maxwell's equations in differential form is the most elegant equations that I saw in my life. I remember in my freshman year I had 8 questions in my EM final and the last question was name four equations that you can use to solve all the other 7 questions. It was a straight question for free grade obviously. But I was puzzled that I could not actually derive all of what I used. I went on and submitted the exam and returned to my seat. I went on with deriving all of them and spent a couple of hours. I left the room being a physicist from that moment until now.

This is, hands down, the funniest Guardian piece I’ve ever read.

Kudos to the author.
> Considering that everyone already knew who was responsible, I think saying "you won't be held accountable for this mistake" is the most blameless thing you can do.

What you’re describing isn’t blamlessness, it’s forgiveness. It’s still putting the blame on someone but not punishing them for it (except making them feel worse by pointing it out). Blamelessness would be not singling them out in any way, treating the event as if no one person had caused it.

> The way I read the comment, it sounds to me exactly like what Zuckerberg said.

Allegedly. Let’s also keep in mind we only have a rumour as the source of this story. It’s more likely that it never happened and this is a recounting of the Thomas Watson quote in other comments.
Clear for you. https://xkcd.com/1053/
I wouldn't say it's best to outright ignore so much as not take seriously, or at least not use for anything actionable. You can read the news and magazines etc. if you find it interesting, just make sure to do some independent verification in line with the importance of any decisions you are making.

Would be an awesome tool guide to see a workflowchart of Debian tools.

The naming of tools often gets lost in the way things are built.

I do not know if the centralized approach of using "rpmbuild" (via command line options" is better for workflow or debian multi-tools (via separate executable) is better UNIX approach.

But at any rate, a workflowchart would be "awesome" of Debian.
I highly doubt it will be that much initially. Silicon is pretty hard.
All that was a long time ago. The Maxwell magnetic component is a result of special relativity, and I am wondering what would result from using general relativity instead of special relativity to get approximation equations from QED at the same scale than those very Maxwell equations.

I don’t think the government would allow solar panels to be part of the building code(and even encourage new built houses to have them) if they actively hurt firefight.

I’m struggling to even think about this argument. How does something on the roof prevent firefighters from putting out the fire? It’s not like firefighters drill a hole through the roof to ingest extinguishers..

The solar panels themselves are _outside_ the roof. So, if they catch fire, your roof must have gone to fire by now, and you have bigger things to worry about.

Boeing management should read this so they can maybe understand the nature of their quality problems is systemic and not the result of a few little oopses.
Yes, that's true for the average, but doesn't affect the median, which is basically exactly equal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_tax_levels_in_the_United...

if you look at taxes, it depends on what kind of taxes you count, for example North Dakota's severance taxes makes it rank #1 in the nation, but it's from drilling for oil/gas

But if you look at the highest state spending per capita

https://www.kff.org/other/state-indicator/per-capita-state-s...

#1 is DC, so it's the "richest state" even though it's not a real state, with #2 Alaska spending the most per each resident of which there are not much

The conclusion is that California in reality doesn't spend the most on its residents

>Language is all about the right intuition in the right context

Huh? How about the tens of thousands of words you need to be able to recall and recognise in both directions in text and speech? You can't reason past irregular verbs and inconsistent rules about gender.

If you're learning a language like Chinese, you need to memorise the characters. If you're learning a romance language, you need to memorise the conjugation and genders.

Immersion doesn't replace dedicated study. The words that appear the least - which you're most likely to miss - are the ones with the highest entropy.
Update: OneUptime – open-source StatusPage.io, Incident.io, Loggly alternative
OneUptime (https://github.com/oneuptime/oneuptime) is the open-source alternative to StausPage.io + UptimeRobot + PagerDuty. It's 100% free and you can self-host it on your VM / server.

NEW UPDATES: Here are some of the updates since I last posted on HN.

- Log Management is launched! You can now use OpenTelemetry to store logs in OneUptime. We're also adding fluentd support soon so you can ingest logs from anywhere. - We're now working on Traces and Metrics more APM features coming soon.

- After hearing feedback from this community, we're in the process of merging all of 20 different oneuptime containers into one so it's easier for people to self host and takes a lot less resources. This is already midway and should be complete by end of Feb.

- Docker Compose file is in the repo and Its now on ArtifactHub: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/oneuptime/oneuptime and you can try it out on your K8s clusters.Looking forward to hearing what you all think!

- We hear you! Please let us know what features you're looking for and we will build it for you.
In GL it's quite easy to accidentially miss the "fast path" and get surprising slowdowns (and in reverse, GL can be surprisingly fast when hitting the fast path). What's disappointing though is that the Vulkan renderer only nearly reaches the same performance as the old GL renderer, this seems to indicate that the problem sits on the caller side of the 3D API.

It would probably have been a good idea to track performance throughout the implementation and iterate on that instead of "architectural purity".
I’ll also add that very successful people always have a group of people supporting their success without themselves being seen as ‘productive’ (often a spouse is part of it, but also secretaries, students, etc.)
Yeah my wife once fell asleep with a candle burning. It lit fire to the decorative candle holder and some kids clothes lying on the table. Luckily the IKEA table was fire-resistent so the fire extinguished itself but I came home to a home full of smoke and my wife asleep in the middle of it and it was the scare of my life.

Also bought smoke alarms for every room of the house after that (the hard-wired fire alarm in the apartment was heat activated only I guess)

When I was only a few years into my career I accidentally deleted all the Cisco phones in the municipality where I was a sowtware developer. I did it following the instructions of the IT operations guy in charge of them, but it was still my fault. My reaction was to go directly to the IT (who wasn’t my) boss and tell him about it.

He told me he wasn’t happy about the clean up they now needed to do, but that he was very happy about my way of handling the situation. He told me that everyone makes mistakes, but as long as you’re capable of owning them as quickly as possible, then you’re the best type of employee because then we can get to fix what is wrong fast, and nobody has to investigate. He also told me that he expected me to learn from it. Then he sent me on my way. A few hours later they had restored the most vital phone lines, but it took a week to get it all back up.

It was a good response, and it’s stuck with me since. It was also something I made sure to bring into my own management style for the period I was into that.

So I think it’s perfectly natural to react this way. It’s also why CEOs who fuck up have an easy time finding new jobs, despite a lot of people wondering why that is. It’s because mistakes are learning experiences.

On a user level I agree, on a technical level I disagree.

Reason for disagreement is that the preview is generated once with the access rights for the user posting that link (with the permission Slacks Google Docs integration got from the posting user). For performance reason it would be quite costly to generate a preview for every viewing user since access rights could be different for every user. Also access rights can change every time, so it would be necessary to recheck permissions regularly to decide if the preview should be renewed (removed/added/changed). This also would mean users need to wait longer for the preview to generate.

So every user posting a link on Slack (or any platform which generates previews with a special integration) should be aware of that fact
If you actually cared about that bug, you would have followed it, and seen that it has been closed.

But you just want to shit of GTK for no reason. It's an open source project, so they owe you nothing, and nothing was stopping you from contributing your own improvements.
I don't know what experience you draw from, and what is lost in assumption here (on both sides, "hard problems" is open to a lot of interpretation), but the entire premise behind agile is, that thinking a solution up is not how software development works. You chunk things up, you iterate, you stay flexible, precisely because sitting down and thinking hard is not realistically working for a sizeable, messy, real world business solution.
Even in the Nordic countries, it also about reach even when trust is still high. For instance, recent studies indicate that young people increasingly get their news from social media, including TikTok in particular, and therein media have to compete against everything else. So, yes, there are increasingly these deserts also here.

So it's just as impossible as thumbnails in the file picker? The insanity of the GTK and the resilience of people willing to put up with it is baffling to me.
metafonts, as implemented by the metafont program, and variable fonts are literally exactly the same thing: a parameterized font which produces an infinite set of fonts as you vary some parameters

i think what you mean to say is that the metafont program isn't compatible with truetype or opentype, but i kind of already explained that in the comment you are replying to
It's an arbitrary threshold for the sake of discussion. Of course Norway, one of the most developed countries and richest countries per capita, manages to have good content in its written languages on the internet. Model training also benefits from its linguistic and cultural similarities to Swedish and Danish, and English, Dutch, and German to a lesser degree. I suspect many people from Eastern Europe find Russian models useful for the same reason.

I agree that the situation is not hopeless for languages with a thriving written culture. But for many minority languages there might only be chat messages, some literary works, and vast amounts of machine-translated websites accessible for crawlers. I hope that in the future improved model architectures and training strategies can push the required amount of raw content way down.

From that link you should also be able to find conversations on Hacker News and the like. It was talked in a lot of places at the time.

If I’m remembering correctly (take this paragraph as imperfect memory), at the time a lot of people on the outside were looking to assign blame but the team tweeted something to the effect of “yes, we know who did it, and no, they won’t be fired” and didn’t even reveal who it was. Then they live-streamed the process of trying to recover as much as they could. They got a ton of community encouragement and it was widely viewed as the right way to handle things.
Starting a startup like that is like a marriage so if you don’t think you’d marry your friend, maybe don’t.
> America for example, with its liberties and capitalist reward in line with the Matthew effect provides good reward to the good people.

I'm not detecting sarcasm...

I don't understand how any grown adult can look at America, with its history of socialism for the rich, and rugged individualism for the poorest and most vulnerable, and say with a straight face that 'good people get good rewards' in America.

> All opinions are my own. If it stings, so much for your painkillers!

Aaron, try and open your mind to the idea that some of your opinions actually aren't that good.

The UK and America are dramatic examples of societies where the absolute worst people are highly rewarded and unaccountable, while the best people are smeared, marginalized, and even tortured.
I think a big part of the problem is that people tend to see things in black and white (or rather, fail to account for nuance).

Elon is a massively intelligent and business savvy guy with strong engineering talent.

He is also unhinged and an absolute idiot.

Both things are true at the same time and in different ways. People tend to let one of the two perspectives overwhelm their impression of him as a whole.
Allegedly 12 of the 13,000 UNRWA employees were involved in the attack. How many other organizations lose all funding if 0.1% of their employees, in their spare time, commit some terrorism equivalent act?

Any aid organization would have to be impossibly cautious in hiring in Gaza, and still they could fail such a stringent standard.
Just a few responses/thoughts on this article:

> Truth 1: People convince themselves not to do something

True. This is likely in part due to the amount of tedious busywork it requires to get anything done in a large organisation, since after your attempts at productivity are ruined by meetings, managers, dependencies, etc, it can become very easy to go "sod it", and just do the bare minimum.

> Truth 2: Actually finishing something

As the saying goes, the last 10% of the work takes 90% of the time. Or something similar.

Add to this how the last 10% of the work is often the boring stuff that isn't fun to work on, and it's no surprise most creatives give up on most of their projects.

> Personally, my standards of quality are much higher so I'd be much more aggressive about this, and say 95% of everything is crap. As a result of this, you will also find success if you produce something of quality.

This might be too optimistic, since people tend to disagree on what the last 5% of quality work is, and will often get tricked by flashy marketing, overconfidence, a slick presentation, etc. So it's not enough to do good work, you also have to be good at selling it as good work.

> Regarding marketing of work

> Most people don't know how to market themselves.

And most people don't seem to bother at all, which is probably the biggest reason their projects fail. No, "build it and they'll come" isn't a good strategy in 2024.

> The Pareto Principle

> As a result, one can observe that 80% of the work is done for 20% of the effort.

Very true, and if you're outside a field, a project or work that only gets the first 80% of the work done will look identical to one that gets 100% of it done. If your work looks visually 'complete', it's very easy to trick people into thinking you know a lot more about the topic than you actually do, or that your project is more impressive than it actually is.

(see 99% of 'Classic video game remade in Unreal Engine!' videos on YouTube and social media)

And success and failure being iterative is sadly 100% true. Probably because the more you succeed, the more resources you have for future efforts, meaning it's easier to hire the right people, pay for things you can't do yourself, not get burnt out by another job, etc. Meanwhile failure breeds desperation, and drives people away, since it seems like they almost fear it like a contagious disease...
i don't think there's a non-confusing way to discuss questions like this, so plausibly this is not the right forum for it
With gnome being the front runner on that one.

I’m curious to see how much of an impact the wayland architecture will be, and if ‘gnome only’ apps become a thing.
Well, by that logic, I have some great sophistication going on in my household..

Several devices that took EUV machines(that cost hundreds of millions each) to etch login onto themselves - microchips on my laptop, phone etc.

A pipe constantly supplying flammable gas that was probably mined thousands of kilometers away just so that I can burn it and heat up my water for shower.

A very dangerous to the environment - refrigerant in both my fridge and heat pump.

A tank full of dinosaur juice in my car, which itself was machined and built with some exotic metals mined somewhere else in the world.

What difference is a few more kilograms of futuristic substance that can save energy for my house make?

I know hundreds or thousands of kilograms of LFP batteries in my backyard in feasible today. But who knows. Maybe we will find a way to mine Lithium or replace it with Sodium and the whole process would become “normal” like the metals in my 3 ton car.
What a bad take.

That "Corolla" is not a car/model but a whole category that combines many body types such as a sedan, a wagon, a hatchback and a crossover model (Corolla + Levin + Allion + Lingshang + Fenglanda + etc).

Tesla could create two nameplate: "Cyber" for pickups and "Model" for other vehicles (S+X+3+Y) and call it a day too.
