This sort of illustrates my point! You must not be very familiar with Yellowstone past the road system.

Except in the busiest parts of the park, you don’t have to stay on trail, and there are hundreds of square miles of roadless areas of the park. It is 3x the size of rhode island. There is no “tangle” of roads as there are only 5 roads that enter it. Like I said: once you are 1/2 a mile from the few roads in the park, you have it to yourself, and it is not a forgiving environment.

Yellowstone offers the full spectrum of experiences from stroller friendly boardwalks to multi day wilderness through hiking routes that never cross another trail, let alone come close to roads.

Nice to see reliable terrestrial radio services chugging along with orbital services becoming less assured.

I was recently pleased to see eLORAN is gaining momentum to fill the void left by LORAN-C's shutdown in 2010. 8 meter resolution through radio triangulation is pretty impressive.

Not as an adaptation, but more of an extension.
Two problems are orbit determination accuracy (bottlenecked by the amount of ground stations and the low quality of public NORAD data) and prediction of perturbations (dominated by the atmosphere and space weather at low orbits). Both areas progressed greatly in the last decade, but still not enough.

Huh? There's no secret to building these LLM-based "AI"s - they all use the same "transformer" architecture that was published by Google. You can find step-by-step YouTube tutorials on how to build one yourself if you want to.

All that OpenAI did was build a series of progressively larger transformers, trained on progressively larger training sets, and document how the capabilities expanded as you scaled them up. Anyone paying attention could have done the same at any stage if they wanted to.

The expense of recreating what OpenAI have built isn't in having to recreate some secret architecture that OpenAI have kept secret. The expense is in obtaining the training data and training the model.

Oh no. If you keep the 240fps video, that is what a backup is. Which is what I want.

How it's played is not a concern of the backup tool. It is a concern of the player.

Synology exports. So I record something at 240fps, and then the file uploaded is 30fps. That's not a backup.

It's like when you backup a photoshop PSD. You want a backup of the PSD, not a flattened PNG.
It's a bit of a touchy subject. It's clear that he's a brilliant musician and self-motivated to the brink of mania, but he struggles with perfectionism and his insistence on reinventing the entire field of mechanical engineering from scratch precludes him ever actually finishing the project to his own impossible standards. If he didn't have a huge community of experienced, fascinated, and often frustrated engineers and manufacturers pointing out his most egregious missteps, he'd be sunk. The past near-decade has involved being sucked into fractal rabbit holes due to unknown-unknowns while obsessing over imperceptible details. The second machine was thrown out entirely and he started from scratch in an attempt to fix what he saw as fundamental flaws with it, and while his process with the third machine seemed promising at first, at this point it doesn't seem like he's really any closer to success.

His videos are often entertaining (he's very charismatic and enthusiastic), and you'll learn a decent amount about engineering. But the most important thing that you'll learn are the unstated lessons: the necessity of compromise and the importance of setting measurable and realistic goals if you ever hope to actually achieve a given result. Though if nothing else, I applaud him for being so open with his efforts, especially when things don't pan out like he was expecting.
Orbital mechanics are difficult to understand unless you're a Ksp pro or some NASA dude that has played Ksp as a pro. The concept of "falling" while traveling at 28k kph is difficult for the public to understand as there is no frame of reference in everyday life. But everyone can understand that 28k kph is "really really fast!".

It is writing for the lowest common denominator which outside of scientific articles, is probably for the best. Imagine if every article had to re-state some even minor point about orbital mechanics. You'd lose too many people in the weeds.

tl;dr: People are ignorant/stupid/dumb/don't care. The author needs to write for that audience.

What do the eigenfunctions look like? I didn't know the circular disk was such an exotic problem for Laplace's equation.

edit: Ah, I misunderstood the problem. The eigenfunctions are exactly solved; the problem of sorting and ordering their eigenvalues is apparently not! From their page 4,

- "Although all the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians on the unit disk are explicitly known in terms of zeros of the Bessel functions or their derivatives, see §2 below, in each case the spectrum is given by a two-parametric family, and rearranging it into a single monotone sequence appears to be an unfeasible task."

Cars can maneuver much more readily, travel at much lower velocities, have road traction so aren't affected by their gravitational attraction to each other, and don't have a third axis of separation (altitude) to deal with, including changes in that axis due to micro-gravity and atmospheric fluctuations.

This makes long-term modelling of orbits/intersections very difficult, and the error bounds are much too large to give any reliable projections on the order of 5 metres. We would know that they came within 5 metres of each other when they come within 5 metres of each other; not long before.
Wheels remain an interesting choice in 2024 as well.

For your test I don't see it offering anything new. I see it as the same as my test but just extra complexities. From a statistical point of view I feel it will yield roughly the same results as my test. As long as the judge outputs a binary true or false on whether the entities are humans or ais.

Yes I did say we can't define understanding. But despite the fact that we can't define it we still counter intuitively "know" when something has the capability of understanding. We say all humans have the capability of understanding.

This is the point. The word is undefined yet we can still apply the word and use the word and "know" whether something can understand things.

Thus we classify humans as capable of understanding things without any rhyme or reason. This is fine. But if you take this logic further, that means anything that is indistinguishable from a human must fit into this category.

That was my point. This is the logical limit of how far we can go with an undefined word. To be consistent with our logical application of the word "understanding" we must apply to AI if AI is indistinguishable from humans. If we don't do this then our reasoning is inconsistent. All of this can be done without even having a definition of the word "understanding"
"Large teams" is the key, there has to be enough services and/or language diversity to justify the extra complexity.

> I'll stick with Windows 10 as long as possible ;)

I've fled to Linux without looking back. I like it much better here.
Theoretically if there would be any (real) value of connecting a Microsoft account with windows, I would probably do it (Though paying a hefty sum for Windows and being expected to tie it to some online account is a bit too much. And yeah, I always bought my Windows versions, like 95 (came with new computer at that time)/ME/7/10).

But really? There is not really any value in it (and I don't mean artificially created ones, like "Oh noes! You need an account do that thing you were able to do without one just moments ago! Bad luck, eh?!" or "Yeah, we know although saving your data offline in that App, we offer for free, would be fine, we still expect you do that one online, with our awesome Microsoft account!").

I’ve seen this in a nice, well-constructed, fairly well insulated, fairly well-sealed house. The outdoor nighttime temperature would be 0F or down to -10F or so on an ordinary winter night.

At 65F, 50% RH inside, the dew point is 46F. If you like sleeping warmer, 72F, 50% RH has a dew point of 52F. Most people like sleeping with shades or blinds closed, so somehow the inner glass surface, hiding behind window treatments, needs to be kept above the dew point or condensation needs to be tolerated. There’s a ~20 degree difference permitted between room air and the glass surface and the remaining 50-60 degrees between glass surface and outside. That’s a tall order to avoid condensation.

One can maintain a lower humidity (which is easier to do on a poorly sealed house). 30% RH at 72F pushes the dew point below 40F. Lower humidity also reduces the rate of condensation and speeds up drying in the daytime.

> bad flashing on the exterior

I don’t see how exterior flashing affects this. It’s an interior problem.

> bad trim details on the interior

Well, yes, I guess? If you make whatever interior surface touches the glass be impervious to water (fiberglass, vinyl or aluminum, for example, although aluminum has its own thermal issues), then maybe you don’t care about condensation. If you use very very well-insulating windows (triple paned with warm spacers, for example), you can actually reduce condensation.

> not heating the windows appropriately in the winter

The only houses I’ve seen that heat the windows either have forced air vents or radiators by the exterior walls. This is a somewhat outdated practice to help compensate for poorly insulated walls. Old houses may also have very low interior humidity, further reducing the problem.

I’d rather have a comfy house with comfortable humidity, built to tolerate a comfortable humidity. If that means aluminum-clad or fiberglass windows, so be it.

You can measure body fat percentage using electricity. I believe it works on the differing resistivity of muscle/bone/fat, but I could be wrong.

Higher end scales often have a sensor integrated. Takes like 2 seconds to get a reading.

I think those sensors being cheap-ish is new. I would expect to see a migration over to body fat percent instead of BMI over the next decade or two as people replace their scales.
This is worst than abnormal in a democracy.

If this was a case of libel against a person, asking for proof (thus source) would still be sketchy, but understandable (the sources are not the primary goal of the discovery, truthfulness of the reporting is).

This is _not_ the case. This is clearly an overreach, and if this was in Europe, I would have helped ngo to present the case in front of the ECHR, as this seems like a human right violation. Do you have an equivalent in the US?
All the versions! (I'm a "Modern C++" acolyte.)
Well you always need "enough money". What that means is indeed personal.

Some people are happy with very little, even happy to, say, live off-grid or stuff like that.

But, IMHO, it's hard to be happy when you have to watch your spending all the time or can't afford to do many things. That does not mean you have to spend your life chasing money but there has to be a balance, which is a personal preference.
Just looking at those Trumpkin notes for the first time. As a North American, I’m very surprised to see that cedar should not be used. I always thought that was the wood to use for Saunas.
I read the GP as it’s easier to have the single infrastructure team implement it than have every single product team add support in their service.

I mean most app servers abstract away https on the server level and most dev is done unencrypted. So this seems reasonable.
That requires imaginative ideas for paying for such missions.
One reason I don't use Linux as much as I'd like is custom keyboard layouts (in addition to Mac/Windows only software). I have to make two for terminal and X11 apps. And another for Wayland. I haven't found an inline USB mapper though that shouldn't be so hard.
That's even more so substantial if the nearest neighboring star also has a comparable oort cloud. In that case a mere 1ly of interstellar space would separate the two systems
This is true. But unless one close to poverty or have some fixed obligations (like care for person with special needs) there is always a way to cut 25%. Smaller house, less unnecessary buying, etc.

I recall this hitting our startup’s various MySQL Linux servers in 2012.

They were slow/maxed out for a while till we figured it out. The DBA rebooted a few but didn’t know why and it kept cropping up on others; I drilled into root cause with some google-fu.

Not mentioned in the article is that I think this issue occurred again in 2015. I don’t recall if it hit us because we hadn’t patched/upgraded some servers since 2012 (!) and had just relied on resetting the clock/rebooting, or there were more Linux bugs (see LWN below).

Procedural question: The REMOTE thing is not specific enough.

I tentatively request suggestions (RFC) for a standard way of expressing remoteness:

- remote in one country
- remote in region
- remote by exact timezone
- remote by timezone range (or official office hours)
- mostly remote, with some country qualification
- really, truly, totally remote

In country, is because the company wants just one legal jurisdiction for employment, perhaps also for some filter on criminality/identity/banking.

In region is not really defined in the world, except EU has some common employment law, corporate/banking harmonization, and small timezone spread.

Countries are not necessarily temporally compact in the sense of only 1 timezone. Obviously Russia, Canada, US... are extreme examples. Chile is well-behaved. But some places are split on daylight savings, so that is not strictly included in the criterion, there is just +-1hr in summer/winter.

Exact timezone might allow various N-S combinations, such as London-Lisbon.

Timezone range might allow London-Cape Town, or any US and Mexico. It's really overlapping office hours for core meeting schedule, independent of country.

Mostly remote might have some global freedom, but be limited to where the company has a legal entity for employment - or the opposite for contractors. Note that these may conflict: so you may not hire an 'offshore' contractor in a country where you have a legal presence (e.g. US company hires contractor through a Singapore company, but the contractor actually lives in Myanmar, which may be on the blacklist - see below, yes it is - or say India, where the original hiring company has a legal presence).

Totally remote does not exist. There are legal and financial sanctions that exist from West-G7-G20-OECD against various other countries that are beyond-the-pale. The core subset of rejects are the obvious axis-of-evilly kinda places, but there are many excluded by a corrupt banking system, or cyberattack risk (assuming you ship laptop or have connectivity through local country ISP - surely not, that's what VPNs are for, but try asking to live in China :) For example, N. Korea is obviously off-the-table, so is Vietnam, okay nice cheap place to live but I understand, however the Philippines as well (really?) yes, I assume mafia/banking or something.
Except 6.6 rounds to 7. That’s completely reasonable. Arguing otherwise is pedantic.

Slightly related question:

Do any editors have a "translator" kind of tooltip or panel that explains what each symbol does in languages like APL or KamilaLisp?

I was thinking about how I'd go about learning the various symbols involved in such a language, and I learn best by reading and modifying existing code, so something that helps me understand what I'm looking at would be nice.
Right? Like, I really don't understand the problem that service mesh solves that isn't already solved by more standardized technologies

my understandinf is that conservation of momentum does not mean momentum is conserved as time passes. it means if you have a (closed) system in a certain configuration (not in an external field) and compute the total momentum, the result is independent of the configuration of the system.

Ignoring the Morse Code radio station, in the context of those banks of instruments and controls... each individual readout can be done cheaper and more reliably in software, but doing everything in software means one or two LCD screens.

Will it ever be wall-sized banks of screens covered in eInk displays as standard industrial controls? Will it skip straight past that to Augmented Reality?
I'm not saying it cannot implement Vulkan. Go back and read my responses, that has never been in any of them. You're injecting an argument I'm not even close to making.

I am saying that your idea that Proton would necessarily be faster than D3DMetal is making assumptions that nobody outside Apple can realistically know. You don't know what their GPU supports natively and what would require software emulation. It might be faster, I'm not saying it wouldn't be. I'm just saying you cannot know without making a lot of logical leaps first.

If by your own earlier comment, you allow for software emulation of certain features to get support parity, then you cannot make a realistic claim on the comparison of the performance of the translation layer since they're not 1:1

With regards to tile based rendering, many games do suffer when ported to tile based renderers. A lot of access patterns change, and things like post processing effects and full screen deferred buffers become more expensive. You cannot compare NVIDIA's tile based implementation to Apples. The similarity is in name only. Anyone who's ported desktop engines and games to mobile devices has experienced this.

with regards to GTA:V, GPU usage alone doesn't tell you enough unless you specifically know where your bottlenecks are. Going by the gamer concept of "its gpu/cpu bound" doesn't really mean much for performance analysis beyond trying to guess what you should upgrade. GTA-Vs lowest resolution shaders (as in that video) would not be demanding for any modern GPU. The Rockstar engine scales very well by design. But unless you know where the CPU side is stalling, you don't know how you're starving the GPU or not.

Anyway to reiterate, because you keep trying to insert a different argument: "You cannot know your claims are true because you don't have enough reasonable data to do so" <- That's it. You can hypothesize all you want, but it'll come down to that and that is ALL I am arguing.
