Which science fiction media? Is there any dream that is physically possible while unrealized?

- Going to other galaxies: As opposed to flying, those are physically impossible,

- 2100 utopia would be about ecology and people consuming less, not more,

- When I was a kid, I used to dream about flying blades (drones) or minicomputer in our hands where would could read stuff of program. Today I don’t see a single thing that I would like to dream about.

Maybe social relationships?
More precisely, it is a good approximation for objects immersed in a fluid that is sufficiently dense relative to the density of the objects, on time scales long enough for the effects of the fluid to be significant given the relative densities. Rovelli fails to point out this critical factor, although it is implicit in the equations he gives, and fails to recognize that this factor invalidates his criticisms of high school textbooks and teachers who, he claims, mislead students by telling them that heavy and light objects fall with the same acceleration.

In fact, what high school textbooks and teachers tell students is that if we neglect the effects of air, heavy and light objects fall with the same acceleration. That's what I was taught in high school, and it's perfectly correct. (Note that this phrasing already eliminates cases like motion in water, for which the Aristotelian model is a much better approximation.) Some high school textbooks and teachers (like the one I was fortunate enough to have) will even go on to point out that, for a wide range of objects falling in air, the effects of air are negligible for a significant enough amount of time to make feasible, for example, the famous (but probably apocryphal) experiment of Galileo dropping two cannon balls of different weights from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and seeing them hit the ground at the same time. And Rovelli's equations, when you plug in the relevant numbers for such a case, say the same thing--but Rovelli himself doesn't.

While this in itself does not invalidate the actual math in the paper, which is fine, I found it very disappointing that Rovelli went beyond what his math actually justifies in making the criticisms of high school textbooks and teachers in the paper. He should have known better.

If you can't win because no matter what option you pick, equally matched groups of politically motivated people will yell at you, then the logical thing to do is to just do whatever is easiest. In this case that would be to not try to correct for bias in the training set. The fact that Google did try to correct for the bias implies that either, rather than being politically neutral, they are actually on the side of the "woke" group, or they perceive that the "woke" group is stronger than the other groups. Other evidence suggests that Google is probably on the side of the "woke" group.

10 years ago I would have loved to be hired by Google, now they repel me with their political bias and big nanny approach to tech. I wonder how many other engineers feel the same way. I do understand that for legal and PR reasons, at least some of the big nanny approach is pretty much inevitable, but it seems to me that they go way beyond the bare minimum. Would I still go to work for them if they paid me half a million a year? Probably, but I feel like I'd have to grit my teeth and constantly remind myself about the money.

First, this article is about medicine, not science, so I'm not sure that the critique is well targeted.

Your critique might apply to an article written about the use of AI/ML in science, in which case it would be uninformed - algorithms like DeepVariant, DeepConsensus, and AlphaFold are fundamental AI-enabled tools for gathering and interpreting new information from existing sensors that changed the state of the art and are advancing science and enabling cures today. AI-enabled tools are also improving information management and literature search for scientists, because advancing science usually is about making better use of the info you have - a lot of scientific breakthroughs today are made by analyzing data that has already been gathered (like Genbank or UK Biobank or All of Us data).
What contributes to accuracy is what’s not there. To me especially the biology and medical advancements are missing.

While we’re way better at maintaining our bodies than 100 years ago, we’re still mostly focused on improving our environment, just like 100 years ago.

In 2124 I’d like no illnesses, regrowing limbs, perfectly balanced nutrition that is universally available, safe and accessible bio tech, and I could go on.

> Rioters are not protected by the Geneva Convention,

Correct. Which makes both the Geneva Conventions and DOD's Operations Manuals utterly irrelevant. Triply so, since 2) Cotton was not in command of any troops and 3) the alleged violation of the laws of war never actually occurred.

From the latter:

> In assessing whether de facto hostilities exist for the purpose of applying jus in bello restrictions, situations of internal disturbances and tensions, such as riots, isolated and sporadic acts of violence, and other acts of a similar nature do not amount to armed conflict.7

You really should familiarize yourself with the material before citing it.

This. Was. Not. A. War.

I'm not sure how to make it any more clear than that.
I’m a software engineer that also does operations work. But I really love Go for operations type tasks. Simple, direct, code that’s not too verbose, with predictable performance, and fast compilation to a single executable. I’ve even taken to baking an editor and the compiler into an image with a small library of code for operational tasks, that I can quickly edit and run in the deployed environment for ad how operational tasks.

Neocons planned the Iraq invasion out in advance; that’s well documented. The idea that Hitch had decision-making capability inside the admin several years later is not particularly credible.

I’ve not seen any compelling arguments here either, and those so far show a lack of research and/or thoughtfulness. One might uncharitably call them sloppy.
Who cooks everything north of 400F?

I saute in butter all the time which has a smoke point of 350F or less. I adjust my cooking temperature to suit the dish.

If my pan is so hot that the olive oil is smoking, I'm probably burning the hell out of whatever I'm cooking.
The main thread is running the child thread creation in an endless loop, repeatedly setting numThreads to 0 and to 5, back to 0 and to 5 again. Can the caches of the CPU's consistently keep up with the changes?
My favorite trie implementation defines the trie as:

```

from collections import defaultdict

def trie():

return defaultdict(trie)

```

Yeah, a `trie` is a dictionary whose values are tries. And the values are automatically created by reference:

```

>>> t = trie()

>>> t["e"]["a"]["r"]["t"]["h"]

defaultdict(<function trie at 0x10d5ebc40>, {})

```

> Whether we let you tap on it to go to DraftKings or not … we’ll decide that later, we just decided right now we just want to show the odds and see,” Cue said. “We’re not against [betting].”

Apple Senior VP on their new partnership with DraftKings to enable this feature. They didn't add this to show you who's likely to win, they added this to enable bettors.

Don't go out of your way to make this not Apple's responsibility: it's their app and their ecosystem. They're enabling the sports betting ecosystem in more ways than this one app.

They even added a toggle to remove it so it's clear they understand the implications of showing betting odds to a certain subset of users, absolutely baffling behavior from them.

How exactly is spectroscopy a nuclear innovation?
Hm I don't see anything like cc_library(). Though I misread the intro -- it doesn't claim to be like Bazel, just less than Bazel

I saw "Bazel and Ninja" in the post, and thought it was more similar to what I had built.

Though IMO, to build C/C++, even for small projects, you need something to parse .d files, the output of gcc -M. Otherwise you need to write more build metadata manually, and you can get it wrong

And there is no enforcement of errors

For truly small projects, I just use a shell script, and no incremental build. Works great

---

And Ninja does parse .d files. The compiler is the authoritative source of header deps, because it has the preprocessor.

Ninja is very fast and small. It's meant to be generated, so I wouldn't call it verbose. I don't think anyone really writes Ninja by hand. There are at least 3 common code generators for it -- CMake, the Chrome one, and Android one

Yes. In 1899, they hadn’t even invented the lift, necessary for skyscrapers. Imagine showing them, not Dubai, but a mundane success story like Bangkok.

> Like trains, autonomous ships fundamentally doesn’t seem to make any sense.

Autonomous trains already exist, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_driverless_train_syste... for a long list of places where it's been implemented. The related article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_train_operation#Adva... has a list with six advantages of autonomous trains. Many of these advantages would probably also apply to autonomous ships (and other kinds of vehicles).
> Who cooks everything north of 400F?

Depends on the cuisine. If I'm wok frying something as hot as possible is a good starting point!

Also if I'm going to throw 2lb of protein on a pan I need it as hot as I can get it so the temp doesn't drop down to nothing after the meat is added.

Does harassment to the point of job loss, familial dysfunction, or suicide count as tangible harm or not tangible?

These days noone seems to have peace to the world as a dream and driving force. I grew up in the spirit that we should try to achieve peace everywhere. Nowadays when people think about war they think about cool technology, who wins all the resources and they think earning money selling weapons. If WW3 really gets off I feel pretty sure it's going to end in science fiction with AI, robots and lasers, it's no longer just stories. Perhaps we will all end up in a Skynet/Terminator scenario? When the technology is there, who will end up controlling it - big tech or the technology itself? I stopped caring about making innovations a couple of years ago - noone is ever trying to mitigate the doomsday. We're not this dumb, we could use our innovations to do some real good.

The number of comments on this post is quite telling.

Hope to see ya all in another future, not the one we're heading for. I just wish people did care.

I suspect it is sustainable if birth rates and age demographics were level (in steady state).

That said, societies with aging populations might have trouble keeping up economically. (There's also a lot of factors around immigration/emigration here).

In the west, the biggest policy burden on young people seems (to me) to be whatever is causing ever-spiralling housing costs (which also effects retirees who aren't home owners, too).

He just read OP's code, the C++/STL Standard, and the Microsoft Learn document and made that conclusion. That's a rather haste determination. Unless he read the actual Windows lock implementation and found a bug there, I don't think his conclusion is correct.
There is no passing the buck. Raising children is a full time job, mother or father aside. And it is a rewarding job, unlike many middle management paper pushing “bullshit” jobs talked about here frequently.

Someone has to raise children. I believe a loving, caring parent would want to do that themselves and or with their immediate family structure. I would not want strangers raising my children.
`numThreads` is written before the child threads that read it are started, so there is an explicit happens-before relationship and no data race. Before `numThreads` is reset, the child thread are joined.

The whole point of GNU is having control over the binaries run on your local machine.

I don't know why anyone pays for 4 when 3.5 is already a billion times better than what we had 2 years ago. 3.5-turbo, at least from an API perspective is an extremely cost effective way for you to add more intelligent decision making to your applications and backend processes. We're going to use GPT 3.5-turbo to help us decide if a specific thing is probably "this" or "that" or "one of the following".... Super easy to use it that way than rolling our own crappy bag-of-words neural network that uses word2vec. Tiny bit slower, but worth it.

Strong disagree on this one, despite their best efforts to seem otherwise the intel folks aren’t magic and they have very real limitations in terms of how many resources they can throw into something like this. Not everyone is going to get the bin laden treatment.

But they have lots of experience in managing defectors as well, it’s almost always a case of poor adherence to security procedures that exposes people because as the person in hiding you actually have the much stronger hand not the people looking for you.

There’s a long history of people successfully doing this with little to no help in groups such as the IRA for example but when you have a government who will actively support you with things like documents, money, housing and training… your chances are actually very good that you will die of natural causes.
