It's the aberration effects that were the most unintuitive for me. Specifically the difference when you are looking straight ahead in your direction of travel in how the stars appear to move when you are moving at constant speed and when you are accelerating.

At constant speed when a distant star first appears it moves directly away from the center point. When accelerating distant stars first move toward the center point then move away.

If you constantly increase the acceleration you can hold a star that is not at the center point stationary for a while, which is totally not something I would have expected.

I'd like to see something like this except instead of a seemingly random assortment of stars the stars are on a regular grid, connected by glowing filaments along the grid lines. That would make it easier to see what the heck is going on.

Session has Communities. Also if there is a network effect then the group functions of these programs can facilitate larger social group communications (Communities with Session, forums/blogs/groups with Briar). OK fine casting a net as wide as $GLOBE isn't really a thing in these, but then again the over-pseudosocialization may be the thing to avoid (there is no intimacy in having only a sea of distant acquaintances).
We have some plans and atopile already supports some configuration regarding those deviations. There's a component selector which can choose resistors, caps, inductors etc... from a database of known components. Currently it's a free-for-all, but naturally we expect to be able to constrain this to a subset of components like "thing we already use at this company". That database means (once equations are also in) we'll be able to capture those requirements and change those output components depending on the scenario.

I recently upgraded from a used beryllium (Poco F1) with a dying battery to a used, but pristine dubai (Edge 30) and have been very happy with that choice.

At least for Qualcomm-based phones, make sure to have the phone's stock ROM provision IP Multimedia Services (IMS) with your MNO/ISP, so that (you increase your chances that) VoLTE/VoWIFI will work also with LineageOS.
1) By definition, if your 2FA device gets stolen, you’re screwed anyway. Goodbye Authenticator. At least with SMS you can get the same number by contacting your carrier.

2) Roaming. Often free to receive texts abroad.

3) True

4) True, but it’s easy to keep it active assuming you at least have data on it

5) True, but it can cost peanuts with the right setup. I’m holding onto my European and Thai SIM cards with less than $5/year. My Google Voice number is free since 2009.

I agree I’d just prefer using Authenticator and Passkeys, but let’s not lie about the advantages of SMS.
A highly insightful quote, oddly enough from Jurassic Park:

---

John Hammond: I don't think you're giving us our due credit. Our scientists have done things which nobody's ever done before.

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

---

Imagine this were possible. You'd have just destroyed what is likely the primary reason that the past ~80 years have been this weird blip in history where there's been no major and unrestrained war between two world powers. The most obvious embodiment of this is the reason that the Cold War is now called the Cold War, and not WW3. There's also the reality that in this new WW3 which we'd near to immediately create, we'd likely see the rapid emergence of the chemical, biological, and other weapons that every major nation totally aren't developing.

Of course we do stand a good chance of destroying ourselves with nukes, but it's not entirely clear to me that we stand less of a chance of destroying ourselves without them. And adding to this equation is that if the nukes are gone on day 1, then WW3 starts on day 2.

Florida gonna Florida. I grew up and still live in a hurricane area. Went through a cat 5 as a kid - not going to do that again. But, cat 2/3 or less I'm not going anywhere. Last time we took a direct cat 2, we didn't even lose power. Like you said, FL and really most of the southeast coast learned from Andrew.

It would boost the navy's ego dramatically, because then nukes carried on submarines would have another strategic edge over silo-based missiles.
I think "OKRs" exemplify this best because after reading the wiki page I'm not sure that they exist. As pointed out in the article, it seems to be a term that describes ... nothing in particular.

Every serious industry since at least the days of Toyota's rise has used metrics. I don't think the tech industry has ever shown me something that has improved on what traditional industries use. The only change is the underlying processes of the tech industry are too chaotic to harness (what management process gives us Google? Given that we have literally 1 Google do we have enough evidence to reject it being built with a different management style? No. On the other hand Toyota could only exist with Toyota's management style.) and so any amount of management quickly becomes futile.

Time will pass, we'll hit the boring part of the S curve in processor improvement and then management culture will start to be a factor. And the industry will be a lot more boring, less growth focused and care a bit more about consistency and reliability.

I think this suggestion of mine was downvoted last time too, but I don't get why!

One would always want to test stuff in software development, especially if it was fraught and can easily be tested.

Mostly there are no tests to be undertaken in history -hence it it's so much hearsay. But here is an opportunity to gain some genuine certainty, in a way that is normally unavailable! The implementors of this method should absolutely test their process!
I wonder if you could construct a hash collision for high pagerank sites in the google (or Bing) index. You would need to know what hash algorithm google uses to store URLs. This is assuming that they hash the URLs for their indexing. Which surely they do. MD5 and SHA1 existed when google was founded, but hash collisions weren't a big concern until later IIRC. You'd want a fast algorithm because you're having to run your hashing algorithm on every URL you encounter on every page, and that adds up quickly.

The max legal length of URLS is 2048, but I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't plenty of non-compliant URLs longer than that in the wild. If you were limited to 2048 characters, and a valid URL format, I suspect it would be hard if not impossible to build a URL with the same MD5 of an arbitrary high ranking URL like "https://nytimes.com/" But what if you just wanted to piggy back the pagerank of any mid to high rank site? Is there a URL in the top million ranked URLs you could MD5 hash collide?

I doubt google would use a URL hash as strong and as slow as MD5. Maybe Page and Brin weren't even thinking about cryptographic hashes, and just a good mixing function.
I don't know when that was written, but it definitely feels like The Expanse authors read that exact page and built their stealth system to address those points - the stealth ships in the books aren't permanently stealthy (they have to radiate their heat from the internal heatsinks after some amount of time, seemingly on the order of months), and are immediately detected when they light up their engines (and hence coast until they reach their destination).

The main characters also manage to find a stealth ship after coming across coordinates to it - it was parked and completely offline (and unmanned) in the orbit of a small asteroid, which would further obscure any signature it might give off.
Which country is that, if you don't mind me asking? My experiences have been either a) cancelling my account with no notice due to a policy change (Revolut); b) no cares whatsoever (Monzo, a UK digital bank, TSB, a UK traditional bank, or Danske Bank, a Danish traditional bank) or c) a national identity system (MITiD, a Danish single sign on) blacklisting my account instantly and requiring a single, fragile, loseable, unbackupable hardware dongle after much grilling from a local official.

no, the earth is actually big. 47 trillion times heavier than that mass. At 90% c that 160 billion kg would still be a small fraction of the planets (moving 10,000x slower, at 30 km/s) kinetic energy. 500,000x less.

Of course that .06 m/s velocity change would be near instant, so bad things would happen. Probably a humanity-ending but not life-ending disaster. Global tsunamis and incredibly large tectonic changes, for sure. Imagine the entire water column of the marianas trench jumping up in the air and slamming into the ground below.

If the energy was transferred at a single point, it'll be the worst extinction event ever (4000x worse than chicxulub) but I'd bet single-celled and maybe even some multicellular life would survive. Anything bigger than a mouse is fucked, though.
Note that this comparison is not entirely correct. For instance, LineageOS supports network-based location with UnifiedNlp. Android Auto works fine if you install GApps.
Also social media are now invaded by beggars and prostitutes (so called influencers or content creators). While I don't mind the occasional homeless or juggler asking for money and would stop to listen and donate to a good musician in the sidewalk or in a park, I would totally avoid a street where I would have to navigate around thousands of people begging for my attention and money.

I wonder what that means for our "dial-a-yield" designs.. The B61 can be adjusted to 0.3KT, 1.5KT, 10KT, or 50KT. Is the 3% yield on the smallest possible setting or the largest? Some of them used to be 10kt or 350kt -- 3% could still be a massive explosion if applied to the latter.
I don't disagree with the main point here, but the dev-dependencies won't be installed or run on your machine unless you're building Tailwind or Panda itself. They're not necessary for processing the CSS.
Certainly not SAFe, despite what the project management department will tell you.
Yep, this.

Also, every time some new-manager-on-the-block decides that we have to implement "agile" everything just goes downhill from there.

I don't even know what "agile" means anyway, what about "nimble" or "dextrous" instead, as long as people are not understanding each other, they all mean "let's fuck shit up every 2 weeks"

Thanks for your detailed answer! Tons of information in there.

To your point about how the work gets divided, I don't think that work will necessarily be distributed amongst many people for a given design but code gives you a couple of benefits:

- you can branch and merge the changes you make, which means that you can design a given feature and have your team review only this change instead of reviewing a batch of changes.

- If someone actually does want to pickup your design and wants to contribute to it, code makes it easier for them because more information is captured in the code, so they get a better sense of what the design requirements are.

To your last point, we don't really see the code becoming the documentation of the implementation of the module. Actually the goal is to do something similar to the IC space or the software space, where the code becomes the implementation of something but the documentation lives somewhere else, perhaps in a datasheet-like document. Currently the schematic forces you to have both the documentation and the implementation baked into the same document, which forces you to find a middle ground between adding information relevant to those two objectives.
Have you tried showing results of code qualify scanning tooling such as sonarqube or sonarcloud? This should show a downward pressure on quality.

The "grain of salt" reference relates to some antidote, which contained a grain of salt. The reduction to "handle with care" is modern.

I am working on a RAG based chatbot to answer the queries based on contents of my main website and blog which is fintech related .

FWIW in many companies and organisations, including large parts of Google (from personal experience), OKRs are not interpreted with the 70% benchmark, but more along the lines of "this is what we want to achieve, more or less - more is better, a bit less is acceptable, if we didn't mostly achieve what was specified in the KRs that's not good enough". Some objectives lend themselves easily to 70%+ targets, and others benefit from tighter control - that's context-dependent.
AFAIK the scanning process is pretty expensive
The issue isn't poetry per se, but what simplifying assumptions (that there is a single solution and you can compute it on any system, and that "system effects" can be ignored/handled by wheels, see https://pypackaging-native.github.io/ which covers some of this) it tries to make to solve the solution of what to install.

"Build isolation" is all about limiting what is available at build time (this generally conflicts with inspecting the environment/system), and is vaguely (but no where near sufficient) for reproducible builds (see https://reproducible-builds.org/, which came from linux distros). Lockfiles are similarly an issue because they try to assume they can cover all cases (which they cannot, see e.g. various discussions about sdists for the lockfile PEP). Both these conflict with trying to work out what works for the current system (which is what pytorch tries to do because there are so many different options), or with trying to control what is discovered when trying to do the build on one system but run on another.
It's not massively failing, just relatively stagnant, and it's not being bought by the middle east, that's just not the case.
I'm fascinated by the way Signal solves this problem. You can register a phone number, verify it over SMS, set up a registration lock PIN, and then have quite secure communications. The registration lock can be bypassed if someone tries to register the number (like when the phone number is assigned to someone else), waits for a while, and the previous owner doesn't re-register.

Services that do SMS delivery of OTP may want to consider delivery over Signal or WhatsApp when available as they add this additional security.

I've also thought about building an OAuth provider (like sign-in with Google) that does Signal-like phone number verification and lock PINs. This reduced some spam concerns, as it's harder to create burner phone numbers than email addresses. A centralized OAuth service would make it easier than having every web app need their own SMS phone verification integration.

Then, I guess, the account on that German home automation online forum was maybe not that important, after all.
The first time my company decided to implement OKR's I told my manager that I'm already motivated by my own standards, and using OKR's as a carrot on a stick that I know it's deliberately and exclusively out of range is absurd.

He was staring at me as if they invented penicillin and I was too dumb to appreciate it.
> Note the word "risk" in there.

0: I took risk to mean the risk of employing someone - your definition is totally unclear (I admit I'm an engineer not an economist). Please point me to a good reference that defines your equation.

1: Risk is not profit.

2: Profit is only related to risk in some perfect (edit) economist model of markets. Or if you use a tautological definition between the risk and the profit. In the practical world, risk and profits often diverge. Businesses cannot have perfect knowledge so opportunities always exist.

3: you are also ignoring the bigger issue: why would a capitalist company pay more for an employee than they have to? An employee usually can't even know how much their work is worth - they don't have access to the financial records - (edit) a company uses that information asymmetry to their advantage. If two fungible employees bid their required salary for a job, the company will pay as little as possible and choose the cheaper person. Where does that fit into your equation?

> The value produced by a particular "someone" surely varies wildly among Apple employees.

Obviously. This margin is too small to write a detailed example to fit your needs! Argue the point.

Edit: at least say whether you think "value produced" is revenue produced or profit produced. Kind of an important difference between the two and it isn't clear what you mean at all. When you do that, I'll try and construct a marginal employee argument edit2: I was trying to point the Apple example towards an argument based on marginal value - I should have been clearer, sorry.
