There are promising methods developing for Physic's informed neural networks. Mathematical models can be integrated into the architecture of neural networks such that the parameters of the designed mathematical models can be learned. Examples include learning the frequency of a swinging pendulum from video, amongst more advanced ideas.

once it converts into profit-seeking venture, it won't get the tax benefits

one could argue that they did R&D as a non-profit and now converted to for-profit to avoid paying taxes, but until last year R&D already got tax benefits to even for-profit venture

so there really is no tax-advantage of converting a non-profit to for-profit

> If Navalny became Russian president - the next day 80% of Russians would be completely persuaded they were always against the war.

I'm not sure Navalny is against the occupation on Crimea and Ukraine, there's nuance there, he has said he's against the Russian Military interventions, but he is still a Russian nationalist and has (to my knowledge) been against the conduct of the war and wants a diplomatic solution but it's not clear to me that he would have ever "given" Crimea back.
I have.

On a Mac Studio with NixOS based Asahi Linux and 128Gb of RAM, mixtral 8x7b uses 49GB of RAM. At the same time I load airflow tasks that deal with world wide datasets (using ~60GB on 16 parallel streams with the performance cores) format is parquet and also mmaped.

Computer still has 8 efficiency cores and the whole GPU for visualizing the maps using lonboard / browsing / etc.

The computer uses 8-10W when idle, ~100W when running jobs or actively using the LLM and around ~200W when really using the GPU.

This makes it very efficient energy wise in my book compared to the beast of keeping a modern CPU and nvidia GPU on when idle. My electricity bill is unaffected.

Hello! I'm Jordan, a senior engineer/software consultant/fCTO with over 20 years of experience in full-stack web and hybrid mobile app development. I take pride in writing clean code, refactoring, writing tests, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly in the CI environment. Throughout my career, I have established and enforced coding standards across projects, and I've provided valuable feedback and mentoring to the developers I've managed.

As a trained Agile Scrum Master, I can seamlessly integrate into Agile team environments and contribute effectively from day one. Whether it's launching green field projects or revamping large codebases with minimal understanding, I am adaptable and driven to succeed.

Being a US/Canadian Dual Citizen, I am currently living in Boise, ID, but I am open to remote opportunities. My expertise makes me an ideal candidate for a Software Developer or Team Lead role. If you would like to know more about my qualifications, feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to connecting with you!
> The fact that Anglophone countries don't have language regulator bodies id mind-boggling.

Sure we do. It's the people, culture, elites, etc. It's survival of the fittest.

> Basically schools marking down your work for mistakes can't refer to anything as the source of truth other than "this private entity, sometimes in a foreign country, published a book that says so" or just "it's common knowledge".

You can't be serious. Don't want to get philosophical, but what is the source of 'truth'?

What should really be mindboggling to you is that more than 80% of the top 100 universities in the world are in the US alone. The majority of the rest are in UK, canada, etc. Almost all science, business, diplomacy, etc is done in the english language. Now that is mindboggling.
"Patent issues" has become a (sometimes truthful) excuse for not doing something.

When the big boys want to do something, they find a way to get it done, patents or no, especially if there's only "fear of patents" - see Apple and the whole watch fiasco.
Every industry is different. Having the same 5-day, 4-day, x-day or x-hour workweek across all industries doesn't make any sense.

More diversity in this area could bring a worldwide increase of productivity, wellbeing and result in an economic boost.

> What diseases does my car give me? Fun and community? Sign me up.

Other than posture and other disorders caused by spending long stretches of time sitting sedentary, increased risk of asthma and heart disease for everyone breathing your exhaust and tire dust, increased stress levels and lower sleep quality for anyone who lives near roads? Then of course you get the low but decidedly non-zero risk of death or life-altering injury from a collision.

Now, it’s not unique or even an outlier in that regard but most of the previous century was spent pretending that we could treat those costs as non-existent until the evidence became hard to ignore.
Seeing an entire subnet or fleet is fascinating. I hadn't seen the perf engineer side before, which is interesting. Process graphs are so fun!

We get involved in a lot of graph scenarios, and this one we frequently see in the security side, where folks are coming up with detections or investigating incidents. Imagine checking for shell calls with unexpected arguments, or a fleet not running as uniformly as expected. There was a post a few days ago about OSQuery -- combining these together opens a lot.

Edit: Meant to add -- we are launching louie.ai to 'talk' to your DB/SIEM/etc and get these kind of rich visual investigations, if of interest to anyone. Think notebooks, dashboards, orchestrations, API endpoints, etc . Again, we already expect this use case for security folks, but we are internally using louie.ai for our own general observability tasks, and I'd happy to onboard net eng etc folks wanting to do that too!
Not really. You have to begin by being able to be honest about the experience with yourself and decide what you want to do about it and if anything can be done.

Hello I am looking for 10-20 hours a week of unpaid work on a remote basis. I am currently a self-taught developer who would love a chance to see how I can contribute to a team.

I'm quite confident that my technical skills would be sufficient to tackle some tasks, but I would get a lot of value from code review/feedback.

I've spent a lot of time studying the modern Javascript/Typescript stack and I'm comfortable working with git and similar technologies. Happy to work on a variety of projects from open source to more commercial software.

Happy to chat with any one, or try my hand at whatever tasks you have. I could well surprise you with what I can do! And if it doesn't work out, then we can move on.
I mean, if I run a fridge company and another fridge company is doing something nefarious, I'd have more of a claim for damages than someone that runs a blender company, right? That's at least my layperson's interpretation. Since Musk is suing for "unfair business practices".

I also found this: https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti...

>Representative of its remedial objectives, the [Unfair Competition Law] originally granted standing to "any person" suing on behalf of "itself, its members, or on behalf of the general public." This prompted a public outcry over perceived abuses of the UCL because the UCL granted standing to plaintiffs without requiring them to show any actual injury. In response, California voters approved Proposition to amend the UCL to require that the plaintiff prove injury from the unfair practice. Despite this stricter standing requirement, both business competitors and consumers may still sue under the UCL.

And if the LLM cannot solve the case, maybe it can prepare a well-structured ticket that a hoomin can handle quickly & efficiently, without waiting for users to um and aw and gripe and forget things and have to look things up.
I don't think the public is quite that cynical, broadly. Certainly most people consider some non-profits to be scams, and some (few, I'd reckon) consider most to be scams. But I think most people have a positive association with non-profits as a whole.
I think a lot of danger can come from competing against imaginary forces. You get things like atom bombs and paranoia.
My initial reaction to your comment was "Why are they using wood ladders at all?". Luckily I clicked and it's the first question answered in the article:

> Wood is resilient in ways which aluminum—now standard for fire department ladders—can't even compare. "You know if you take an empty coke can and bend it three or four times and it tears really easy? That's what aluminum ladders will do," Braun says. "They have a seven to eight year lifespan, after which they need to be replaced."

> Wooden ladders, on the other hand, can last indefinitely. "You can stress wood right up to its failure point a million times; as long as you don't go beyond that, it will come right back to where it was. They can be involved in a fire for a pretty long time; after that, it's just a matter of sanding off the top coat of material then inspecting the wood. If it's good we'll re-oil it, revarnish it, and put it back in service."

I worked as the lead UX/UI designer and frontend engineer for a small startup for the last 3 years (I am also very proficient in backend and frequently contribute to backend features). I'm most interested in working for smaller companies that value a healthy work-life balance, offer a 100% remote structure, and provide an environment where I can continue to wear multiple hats and focus on crafting great user experiences.

Prior to my current job I built and ran my own SaaS side hustle for a while which led to more than $50k in revenue and helped me develop my skill interacting with customers and understanding their needs. I also designed video content and packaging that was used at retail stores around the United States.
I love the simple but elegant formatting of this blog.

cgadski: what did you use to make it?
Glad more people are using `font-display: optional` on their sites. The simplest, most pragmatic solution, and much more user-friendly. I can understand why some designers don't want to do it, but it is "the right thing to do" IMO.
Is there any way to deduce which invariance gives which conservation? I mean for example: how can you tell that time invariance is the one paired with conservation of energy? Why is e.g. time invariance not paired with momentum, current, or anything else, but specifically energy?

I know that I can remember momentum is paired with translation simply because there's both the angular momentum and the non-angular momentum one and in space you have translation and rotation, so for time energy is the only one that's left over, but I'm not looking for a trick to remember it, I'm looking for the fundamental reason, as well as how to tell what will be paired with some invariance when looking at some other new invariance
Remote Customer Service Teams: Pros, Cons, and Best Practices
Current "fast growth" lumber is already operating on a ~10-20 year time frame.

Getting to something old growth like will probably need like over 60 years at a minimal.

Reclaimed wood (depends on your application) is currently only like <5 times as expensive as new growth product.

While it's definitely true that the supply of reclaimed wood will dwindle, meaning that if you start such a project today, you'll probably be able to command a significantly higher price multiplier in 2090... I think that sentence alone explains why this doesn't happen at any significant scale.
When I kayak I pick up bottles and cans when I see them. I’m not digging in the mud to get stuff but if I’m close I’ll make an effort to collect trash. Same on the beach and camp sites.
I don't agree, I think many people would argue the chance is 0%.
At worst this just adds sandbags to Altman's personal conquest for money/power, which I'm cool with. At best it puts a bigger spotlight on the future perils of this company's tech in the wrong hands.
Tonewood for electrics is mostly a myth anyway. Extremes might play a role but 99% of the time its almost entirely down to the pickups and picking hand.

Acoustic guitars are a totally different ball game of course.

> If you have used finger jointed wood, you see the effects of new vs. old wood. Starting in the 1970’s lumber manufacturers began using finger-jointed wood to compensate for poor wood quality; the warping, twisting, and knots in their new growth wood. They took a board of wood, cut out the defects and then rejoined the pieces with finger joints. Finger joining wood in doors windows, moldings, and framing lumber is necessary because the new growth wood quality isn’t as good. Old growth timber is generally free of knots while plantation grown wood is riddled with them.

For normal construction tasks, I don't care one bit about this one bit. And you shouldn't either.

We've found more sustainable ways to quickly grow trees and use machines to turn them into usable construction lumber. This is amazing! Basic construction doesn't need to have the finest, densest, knot-free lumber. It just needs to work and hold up for a useful lifetime. We don't use this lumber for windows or weather-exposed areas. It's placed neatly inside of your dry home and protected from the elements.

Combining multiple boards into a single, more stable board isn't unique to cheap new growth lumber. It's a technique that is even used with more expensive woods to produce a hybrid board that has better properties than could be easily achieved with a single board. Modern adhesives can be stronger than the wood itself, so the existence of a joint shouldn't scare people.

If you're doing a high end woodworking project, you're generally not using this type of wood anyway. You're picking a hardwood or one of the fancier softwoods.

I love old growth lumber and its properties, but modern construction lumber and the processes that produce it are a great accomplishment. Regardless, it doesn't matter because old growth lumber is a very finite resource and it's not repeatable to reproduce forever anyway.
Embracer Group to Sell Saber, Developer of a New Kotor, in $500M Deal
4 day work weeks will be required to compete as structural demographics compresses the working age population [1] [2]. For example, over 1000 school districts in the US have moved to a 4 day week to retain teachers, as they have no other choice [3]. There is evidence it works in many industries (office work, manufacturing, law enforcement, government) [4]; it might not work everywhere, but it can work where it works.

There is no reason not to ratchet down the work week as productivity has increased, and most people work to live, not live to work (as indicated by the satisfaction indicators in these 4 day week trials).

Can this complaint lead to anything?
I'm not sure jsr fixes comments in package.json, and I wouldn't blame npm for the miss feature.

package.json is used at runtime by node.js and strictly parsed as json. Npm or just could strip comments on publish, but local development of the package would break.

Not sure if bun or demo use pjson at runtime or if they allow comments.

I think it's interesting that JavaScript projects at the package root despite most projects compiling to dist nowadays. I'd like tool to generate the whole package root, including a transpiled or generated package.json

I understand what you’re saying, but the paper ends with a two-page section (4.4) on “Observational Prospects,” including possible biomarkers. It seems like if nothing else, the point is to not rule out such worlds in the search for extraterrestrial life (including intelligent life).

The ratio of garbage to great content is greater than it has ever been in history.

But we also have more great content than we've ever had in history.

I'm a relatively old-timer (Internet from ca. 1992) and I love the stuff I get from Mastodon and Lemmy. Kagi is awesome--and has a small web search. uBO is a Godsend--there are multiple means to pay content creators directly. Hell, even comp.lang.c is still kicking and spam is down now that Google bailed on Usenet.

Will these things ever be as big as Twitter? No, at least not until Twitter dies. But that doesn't matter. There's still more stuff there than I can consume and that's on my personally-curated "non-algorithmic" feeds.

In short, just stay away from the garbage. Find the stuff you like.

Right, the rephrasing of the sentence is a tad more accurate. Your three entities are [invariant -> conserved quantity]: (translation -> momentum), (rotation -> angular momentum) and (time -> energy).
