> If a feature of an open core product can be provided by the community, it's not valuable enough to gate behind an enterprise wall.

I don't think that holds as a general rule, because there's no conceptual moat preventing any feature from being reimplemented by a third party with sufficient motivation and resources. "The community" sometimes includes larger companies who build an open-source re-implementation of a smaller company's closed-source enterprise features. At best, they do this purely for self-serving reasons; and at worst, for anti-competitive ones.

> Nor is it a bad thing when a community implementation competes with the enterprise implementation

Personally I don't think it is reasonable to expect the maintainers of this project to maintain two separate OIDC implementations, one of which they didn't write in-house. They may have different naming conventions, config options, etc. Sounds like a support and maintenance nightmare.

Even in academia the freedom of inquiry is circumscribed by performance expectations by peers and administrators, especially pre-tenure. While tenure-track professors do not have managers telling them what to research and how to go about doing it like many industry researchers do, they are often expected to publish regularly (preferably in top venues, and at top universities this is required), do “impactful” work (where “impact” is often measured by citation counts, awards, examples of adoption by industry, etc.), and raise money for the university by acquiring grants. Grant agencies such as the National Science Foundation have their own requirements that have a way of circumscribing a professor’s research direction, and they are very competitive to earn.

So, it is more accurate to say that academia gives professors the freedom to run their own research organization, but if that professor wants a good shot at getting tenure and staying in the good graces of the university, the professor needs to be mindful of the expectations that the university has placed and the requirements of funding agencies. Even if a professor is mindful of these things, research is inherently risky, and a professor runs the risk of not getting tenure due to research results and grant-earning efforts not meeting expectations.

This is distinct from the idea that a professor can do whatever research he or she wants. Theoretically this is true in the sense that there will be no manager watching over the professor’s shoulder, but if the professor isn’t meeting the university’s performance expectations for publications and grants, the professor won’t make tenure, and even post-tenure the university could find ways to make life difficult for the “unproductive” professor.

I’ve thought long and hard about this, and I personally believe that a professor actually has more freedom in predominantly teaching environments. At teaching-oriented universities, the publication and grant-earning requirements are typically lower than that of research universities. At all-undergraduate colleges, sometimes there are no expectations for research. Of course, reduced research requirements mean increased teaching requirements, which could be challenging for researchers who don’t have an interest or talent for teaching. But for those who love teaching and who want reduced or even non-existent “publish or perish” pressure, then a teaching-oriented institution is a great alternative. Even if one’s research is restricted to winter and summer breaks due to the workload of teaching, this certainly beats trying to do research as a hobby on nights and weekends while juggling a 9-5 job and only getting 2-4 weeks PTO per year.
My intuition was that scrolling would increase the y-axis maximum. (Effectively, scrolling would “zoom out”)

And that scrolling horizontally would pan me through the content.

But I’ll add that I also got the hang of scrolling back “in” fairly quickly. After I had zoomed out a couple times, then finally stopped to read the instructions.
Probably because Gimbal and other related videos were debunked years ago. The key is even in the name of the original video file: the strange apparent accelerations are caused by the camera rotating to avoid gimbal lock, not unphysical capabilities.
That's an interesting idea. Similarly, you could make a sort of quantum time capsule by encrypting a blob of data with RSA or ECC and publishing the cyphertext alongside the public key. You could even adjust the key size depending on how powerful you want the quantum computer that decrypts it to be.
> The idea that people shouldn't be charged with crimes because that makes them cover up crimes is pretty hard to grok.

I think the point is more about what we treat as crimes. My assumption is that the grandparent post is a reaction to the number of people in the comments here demanding criminal liability for the door plug issue, especially for Boeing executives, despite a notable lack of evidence of criminal actions (or actions that should be criminal) by Boeing executives or anyone else for that matter.

Charging people with crimes when there is evidence they've committed crimes seems like fair game, but the assumption that a crime was involved just because something bad happened seems like a bad approach to aviation safety. Maybe that's where this case will end up, but calls for it now seem wildly premature and likely to have the chilling effect the grandparent poster is talking about.

>What I don't understand is why modern houses aren't set up with a central, high quality "driver" with adequate cooling to convert AC to a steady DC current

This comes up fairly often here (because, after all, it isn't a hardware design forum), and the answer every time is - I^2 x R is a bitch. Losses increase with the square of current, instead of directly (as in the case of voltage). This is why it's significnatly more efficient to run power lines at high voltage, not high current. Running lighting circuits at LED voltage would require surprisingly thick cables to avoid losing most of the power in the cable runs.

On the other hand, it might make sense to create a 48v LVDC circuit, and regulate down from that at the point of load. This would avoid all of the issues with designing every single little LED bulb to handle 110v AC (or here, 240v AC), and the inevitable failure of the highly-stressed components.

Yep, humans too have to think before answering most non-trivial questions, and especially the ones that include calculations.
So it seems "obvious" that we should try to to give LLMs too some time to think before answering, for example with the popular methods of asking for step-by-step thinking, thinking out loud, and only giving the final answer at the end, and also asking it to proofread and correct it's answers at the end all can help with that.

Pause tokens (thinking tokens) are also an interesting method to achieve that and seems to have a positive effect on performance:

Maybe because speed of light is more approachable to a general audience, and maybe because she’s making a point about absolute upper bounds for all possible signals and didn’t want to reference something that could be improved, or because signal speed depends on the medium and maybe she didn’t feel like rat-holing on materials to make a point about speed of light? Light signals travel at light speed through space. 27cm works for electrical signals but not optical signals in fiber or space, nor other signal types. 30cm as a bound always works, and happens to be a nice round number too, more memorable… I see a lot of reasons why not just. :P

My point is not about deliberate criminal behavior (such as sabotage) but simply making mistakes. Designing and building an airliner is an incredibly complex undertaking, and most mistakes are "obvious" only in hindsight.

I recall one where the vent for dumping fuel turned out to be upstream of the cabin air intake. Eventually, an airliner needed to dump fuel, it was sucked up by the cabin air intake and the vapors blown through the cabin, and of course it blew up.

It sounds like "how could someone have made such a mistake!". The cabin engineers were a separate group from the engine people, that's how.

Another crash happened because a maintenance worker taped over the pitot tubes to protect them when the airplane was cleaned. He forgot to remove them afterwards. The tape wasn't very visible, and the inspection missed the tape. The airplane took off and crashed. The maintenance worker was prosecuted for his mistake. I felt sorry for the poor bastard - not only did he have to live with the guilt, but was jailed as well.

P.S. if someone in the aviation industry comes to work high or drunk, and makes a mistake while under the influence, I have no issue with prosecuting them.

If properly designed, removing the flow restrictor will make your shower experience worse. As the article says, it's the pressure that makes a shower effective and pleasurable, not the flow rate. A good restrictor will increase the pressure.

> then, why not just using qualifiers ? from slowest to fastest.

Because whether something is 5x slower or 5000x slower matters. Is it better to wait for 10 IOs, random access memory 10000x, or do a network transaction? We can figure out the cost of the memory/memory bandwidth, etc, but we also need to consider latency.

I've done plenty of work counting cycles; but it's a lot harder and less meaningful now. Too many of the things here happen in different clock domains. While it was a weekly way to look at problems for me a couple of decades ago, now I employ it for far less: perhaps once a year.

> Calculation based on cycles are totally accurate whether the number of cores...

No, they're not, because cores contend for resources. We contend for resources within a core (hyperthreading, L1 cache). We contend for resources within the package (L2+ cache lines and thermal management). And we contend for memory buses, I/O, and networks. These things can sometimes happen in parallel with other work, and sometimes we have to block for them, and often this is nondeterministic. In turn, the cycle counts for doing anything within the larger system are really nondeterministic.

Counting cycles works great to determine execution time on a small embedded system or a 1980s-1990s computer, or for a trivial single threaded loop running by itself on a 2020s computer. But most of the time now we need to think account for how much of some other scarce resource we're using (cache, memory bandwidth, network bandwidth, a lock, power dissipated in the package, etc), and think about how various kinds of latencies measured in different clock domains compose.

I assume you mean a verifiable compute function rather than hash time-lock contract, as the latter can't be used for encryption. But that's not really a timelock either: it only sets a lower bound on the amount of compute required. But "compute" here is abstract, and when the conversion from "required hashes" to "time elapsed" can vary by 6-10 orders of magnitude, it stops having any appreciable meaning.

> Do programming languages really need any of these two?

"Need," no, but when this distinction is useful, it's really useful. There's no other way (in JS, at least) to distinguish between "no value set" and "it has been set but not to a real value."

A common example is inbound JSON data: when checking for property X, it's "undefined" if it's not set at all, and "null" if the property was set to null via JSON. JSON doesn't have "undefined," and uses "null" in that context. That distinction can be used to assign a non-value (null) to a property name which might otherwise be inherited via the prototype chain and cause confusion.

Hmmm... that example suggests, because the engine will have native JSON support, that i'll _need_ a "null" value whether or not i've also got an "undefined" value.
When I interview candidates, I try to give them opportunities to be their best confident selves, and see if they actually capitalize on it. In initial conversations, I ask them "what are you most proud of on your CV/resume?" From there, a good candidate should be able to go in depth on a topic they're comfortable with.

What I see in other orgs is a counterproductive---if not humiliating---hazing process with "gotcha" techno-trivia that has no bearing on the day-to-day tasking or gauging whether a candidate can grow in the team.

If an alien race did develop FTL travel then it makes sense that they'd make a beeline for the most interesting things in their local vicinity, and it makes sense that the most interesting thing would be a planet with intelligent life on it. So we'd expect a visit from nearby aliens soon after they invent FTL. But that means they'd be doing so when the tech is new and the kinks are still being worked out - they'd be doing the equivalent of voyages across the Atlantic in the 1600s. You'd expect a fairly high accident rate.
