Indeed, but process is quite a bit slower, so you could likely get away with a worse clock.
It's called a fragment FYI!
Quartz oscillators are sensitive to temperature. Modern computing involves varying power frequently, and therefore heat and temperature, so the real time clock varies a lot; even if we assume it sometimes gets calibrated / disciplined.

I think most phones sync to the cellular network time, when available. GPS would allow for an alternate time source, but it's not always enabled and maybe nobody thought to feed it into the time source while the network isn't available.

On Windows, I think the default settings for time sync are amazingly low; probably Microsoft didn't want to foot the bill, as they do run the servers windows syncs from, it's a large population, so increasing the sync volume would probably be meaningful. Microsoft also used to run a time server in Washington state somewhere with really bad asymmetric delay, leading to pretty poor sync performance. But it looks ok now.
I read about fifty books a year for a decade now. Only about four of them per year, are programming books. They are indeed to be read very differently. Here's how I read them, ymmv.

- never in bed. never as audiobook. But sitting. At a table or desk.

- no distractions. At most "focus music".

- read a chapter through. Then read it again and do all excercises (on a computer without wifi)

- make copious notes, highlight quotes, summarize. Most important for me is to write down why I made that note.

- a time (years sometimes) later, do it again. E.g. when having worked on the concepts from a book in real prod projects.

- at most an hour. I have ADHD and my mind often flies everywhere suddenly; time to give up and grab a beer or coffee.

Very few of these work as ebook (Kobo) for me. The formatting of code is poor and diagrams unreadable. Prefer paper or PDF (but read on a computer or tablet without network).
Because you want to read it? There's no other reason. Personally I think once you're dead you don't get to decide anything any more. That's just life.

That's a different discussion.

This isn't about the output for content generators or about the abstract numeric weights that they operate over. That's more complex and a largely open question.

But this is literally about indiscriminately distributing copyrighted works in a large, convenient archive while arguing that it's okay because you normalized the formatting a bit and because you suspect that some people might find "fair use" value in it.

I don't know. Programming languages are super high dimensional objects that are often used to construct non-trivially sized and scoped projects. For something like that I think you need to take your time, read the manual, and do some r&d to see if it's a fit.

In blorq we have variable assignment:

var x = 5;

And we have while loops:

while true {
x += 1;
}

And we also have quantum polymorphic tensor hyper operators with optional effects:

It's like, the simple stuff doesn't really tell me anything. And the complex stuff is going to take a lot more than seeing the example to know how I should feel about it.

Megaupload et all went against the entertainment industry in a time when that industry had the money to pay the lawyers to convince the judges what the law means.

In the present moment on the other hand, it is the entities in the AI industry (e.g. MS) that have the money and can hire the lawyers to convince the judges. Realistically speaking, it's very likely that things will swing the way of AI companies, which will benefit, albeit indirectly, these guys, even though by themselves they're too small to push their agenda, they're just bit players.

I have a theory that Western culture developed relatively quickly because the geography is basically easily-farmable land around an inland sea with plenty of islands which is easy to navigate and explore.

The Egyptians and the Phoenicians lacked the easily farmable land. Greece was fertile but a little arid, Northern Europe was harsher and riskier, but Rome was in a perfect sweet spot.

On the other side of the world China had the farmland but not the inland sea, so there was less motivation for sea-borne trade and exploration.

So it all started with a tradition that required basic materials science, knowledge of the weather, currents, and seasons, navigation by the sky, and the politics of war and trade across large distances.

And it didn't stop until we had explored the entire planet and taken the first steps into space.

In between we had to learn about time, navigation, and planetary weather patterns, how to build and power better ships, and more complex politics.

It seems like a very natural progression.

I've been very patient with Wayland, trying it out every once in a while for the past few years, wasting many hours following the endless discussions, and simplifying my setup to avoid X11-specific tools etc. These days I just don't care anymore, and will stay on Xorg as long as I can.

Besides screensharing, which from what I hear is still a clusterfuck (i.e. it can work just fine, but any given app might or might not work), I've whittled it down to two, seemingly very basic and essential-to-me features, that for some reason still aren't supported:

Window positioning:

As in, the ability for an app to request a specific position for a window. Like when I minimize my music player to the tray, and when I open it again I want it to appear in the same location. Or when productivity apps remember the positions of their tool windows, or I want to script apps to start in specific positions using the near-universal "--geometry" flag of old. Wayland doesn't want to expose global coordinates, supposedly for security reasons (which I call bullshit on), and in order not to discriminate against non-finite/non-square displays (which I guess could just ignore the position requests, but apparently that's not good enough).

One of the proposed solutions for this is the "xdg-session-management" protocol, where it would be the compositor's job to remember window positions for client apps. But to me that only sounded like a partial solution that probably won't ever work consistently, and anyway there hasn't been much progress on the MR for this which was started a full 4 years ago. There's been a lot of activity recently with the "ext-placement" protocol, which from what I understand introduces an application-local "zone" system which will allow window positioning in a very roundabout way that will hopefully please everyone. I appreciate everyone's work on this, but at this rate it will probably take a couple more years until compositors support this new protocol, and client apps have made the necessary changes.

Refresh rate changes:

I have a HTPC connected to a TV. No refresh rate changes means I get constant micro-stutters when watching 24fps content. And yes, I do notice them, and no, turning on motion smoothing doesn't make them go away (and looks even crappier anyway). There are protocols to request refresh rate changes (last time I looked, at least four of them), but client apps like Kodi are not allowed to use them (only system management tools), and proper support for apps to signal a desired refresh rate is tangled up in discussions about achieving the perfect design to support VRR. So I'll give this at least a couple more years too.
It's purely for user experience not security. And it is pretty good at that.

Many of the methods to entering these numbers are very error prone:

- Laser scanners

- Cameras

- Humans

- Magnetic readers

- etc

The check digit lets the system know the error was likely misread / mistyped without needing a database or the like and also helps prevent an accidental mistyped value from also being a valid valud (The number for Book A is unlikely to be mistyped exactly to be the number for Book B because of the check digit).

It also can help to improve scanning speed to some degree since if you have two interpretations of the signal it is possible to infer which one is most likely to be correct.

If I respect an author enough to spend hours of my life reading her work, why should I discard her opinion the moment she dies? If you're going to honor one thing about a person it probably ought to be their will.

Many countries don't require citizenship or permanent residency status to access social programs, e.g. universal healthcare, rationale being that there is no net benefit for the society as a whole, when people who, in their vast majority, contribute to the economy, does not have access to the same safety nets as any other citizen.

I will give that a some of my understanding of the Voron ecosystem is a bit dated. It does seem from further discussion here that at least some of the Voron designs and some of the Voron kit sellers have gotten to the point where they are complete and viable for a first build. They are great machines and this is a wonderful thing!

Historically, many of the high performance designs and kits available for corexy Voron/RatRig type machines were absolutely not beginner friendly and would have been very difficult to complete without some foreknowledge about 3d printing and access to another printer. I'm pleased to be corrected.

As I posted elsewhere though, a $99 bed slinger on sale is still a great tool to have; for the kind of person who will build and use a Voron, a second printer is almost a foregone conclusion. How long since you completed your Trident? Do you have another printer yet?

Because it's nice to live in a society where the living isn't tramatised by the knowledge of what happens to your legacy after you die.

For example, it could be argued that the best way to dispose of corpses is composting and not cemeteries or cremation. With that in mind, should the state not impose that everyone is composted?

Even though I personally wouldn't care if that's the ultimate fate of my body, lots of people DO care about that. There would be a harm done to society if something like this was forced on the remains of their loved ones.

So the round about answer is, because it's a nice thing to do that makes people feel good and that has value.

The fact that we are having this discussion sort of underlines the issue with going against the wishes of the dead. It makes people uncomfortable and upset.

That being said, it probably wouldn't feel nearly as ghoulish if Garcia was dead for more than a couple of years. The reason it feels uncomfortable is her family is going against her wishes to publish his book ostensibly for the money. That feels a little like grave robbing. (Which, again, could be viewed in the same light. Why does grave robbing matter?)

Because it will put those who are still living at ease. Dying is a touchy topic already, and the expectation of having one's wishes honored after one's death can inform decisions while still alive.

Also yeah. Disrespecting a perfectly reasonable wish of a deceased and tainting their legacy is just a deeply dishonorable thing and I will actively shun people who do so.
Eh, he’s done all sorts of other stupid things with Twitter, tho. I’d give it even odds.
Is there anything more to it than that? If not, the documentation would be a lot more helpful if it lead with something straight to the point. Here's something that could go directly under the title of the README:

"This compiler consists of a custom LLVM frontend and backend. The backend compiles LLVM IR code into machine code consisting of x86_64 instructions and Intel GPU code. The frontend works in conjunction with the backend to compile C and C++ code with special optimization which when enabled, compiles OpenMP routines into hardware-accelerated code targeting Intel GPUs, FPGAs, or AMD and NVIDIA GPUs."

As someone who only used OpenMP academically, I don't see much of a point in that. In the post C++11 world, where we can write type-safe compile-time code, preprocessor macro definitions should stay in C code.

Until Intel GPUs are at least competitive with the big boys, interop with their products doesn't concern me a whole hell of a lot. I'm not going to plan my scientific computing applications around the integrated graphics found on cheap Wintel consumer devices.

But in general no.

That would still be a total function, but not pure.

It's a funny sentiment but I don't think Steve Jobs' entire fortune would put the smallest dent into the national debt. A quick google indicates he was worth about 8 billion, while the national debt in 2011 was around 15 trillion. 15 trillion minus 8 billion is still basically 15 trillion...
The AI Assistant in JetBrains is the best I've encountered. In Pycharm, specifically.

I've tried using my OpenAI subscription directly to use GPT4, but copy-pasting between the browser and the lack of context (that GPT has of my code) is limiting.

I've tried Copilot, but it just produces large amounts of junk code, and it gets irritating.

JetBrain's AI Assistant is built into the IDE I use, it melds well with all the pre-existing coding assistance it offers, the conversation interface is useful and can answer questions on specific parts of code (I habitually highlight whatever I'm interested in and ask it about that), and it's good when I ask it to write tests.
> One typically uses the Schrodinger equation to do so

In my opinion knowing how to use the Schrodinger equation to get the "spectrum of the hydrogen atom" is essentially a matter of historical interest but really not relevant to understanding things. Its quite cool you can do these tricks to derive a nice analytical form for the spectrum, but this approach emphatically does not generalise to more complicated systems (any non-trivial molecule) and even for the hydrogen atom the spectrum you get will be wrong anyway because of relativistic corrections and QFT-corrections.

> But you conveniently forgot how to "derive" the part of QM that actually gives you the value of the commutator sitting on the right-hand side.

I'm not sure what you're arguing is missing here? Once you've derived Robertson-Schrödinger you've just got a commutator there, for whatever observables you want to apply it to you just plug in the value.

>No teacher of QM should introduce POVMs before talking about positions and momenta.

I'm not talking about teaching here but thinking. You are probably right that most physics undergrads would not cope well with learning about POVMs. On the other hand I am tempted to argue for not teaching about the position operator and position in Schrödinger-style QM at all, or at least leaving it until quite late on. The way people teach QM has this weird thing where its pretty obviously wrong, because every physics undergrad knows we have special relativity, so there should be some nice symmetry between space and time which is completely missing in the Schrödinger equation. Time in the Schrödinger equation is a coordinate, and space (position) is a self-adjoint operator, which is just manifestly weird. Once you get to quantum field theory this gets fixed and position isn't an operator/observable anymore, it gets demoted back to a coordinate exactly the same as time.
Do you or do you not agree that "the invasion" started in 2014, not in 2022.

This is relevant. You said "before the invasion, all Putin wanted was diplomatic agreements to not join NATO". But that's obviously not true, was it? Because before 2022, he had already annexed Crimea. Before 2022, he had already been delivering massive supplies of weapons and "separatist volunteers" to Donetsk and Luhansk. Before 2022, he had already published "On the Historical Unity of Russia and Ukraine". Before 2022, there was already zero chance of Ukraine being accepted into NATO.

Those are not mere diplomatic tools, that is active aggression and denying their right to exist as a nation at an ideological level. How do you negotiate with "you are Russians, your identity is fake, your language is fake, your land is Russian, prepare to be absorbed".

OpenAI API key with GPT4 plus aider[1]: https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider

For reference against the actual product called “Copilot”, I would say this is actually useful, vs Copilot which I would use words like “glorified autocomplete” and “slightly better intellisense” to describe. Only really good for saving you some rote typing periodically.

The primary limit with “aider” is the GPT4 context window, so really it’s about learning to work within that as its only learning curve.
