> The term was very specifically "Continental Europe".

And "continental" in Europe very often is just used as a "but not the UK" modifier.

You can argue about the correct meaning all you want, but it is entirely irrelevant to whether or not that is how it was actually being used.

I collect watches, and I have examples of various types (diver, pilot, etc, etc). The only thing I don't have is any watch with Roman Numerals, I don't like the way they look.

That said I have a bunch of analog clocks around my flat, and zero digital ones. It's actually been kinda fun watching our child learn to tell the time:

With an analog clock he pretty quickly understood the idea that one rotation of the seconds-hand meant a minute moved, and when the minute hand went all the way round the clock it was another hour.

But digital time? He didn't understand how something went from 19:59 to 20:00, for example. So he'd always say "Daddy what the clock is?"

(Finnish is is native tongue, he speaks to me in English, but some of the phrasing is obviously "I translated this in my head".)
I recently switched from my 5.5 yrs old Xiaomi Mi 8 to Google Pixel 8. The new phone is 20% more expensive (inflation adjusted!) and at almost all metrics a bit worse than the old one. The only thing better is a camera (and I suspect it is because of the software, not the hardware). There are other departments where Pixel is better (CPU, wireless charging, newer OS version, eSIM support), but I don't use it.
It’s vastly easier to be big in water than on the ground as a result of the square–cube law. Indeed it kind of boggles the mind how these gigantic dinosaurs were even able to stand, much less move around.
That requires some very explicit and non-obvious effort to do. It's quite painful to do this properly in Docker.
You shouldn't need one. Use Nix instead, they did 99% of the work for you already.
I think your attitude is very condescending and really misguided and counter-productive. Yes, of course the modern scientific method is superior to what came before, but it was what came before that got us to the modern age and kick-started the industrial revolution that makes modern science possible. And modern science has its own set of problems, one of which is that it's incredibly resource intensive (or, as you yourself said, "hard work")... in fact it's impossibly resource intensive, as shown by the fact that even though we have millions of scientists working today (90% of all scientists who have ever lived) we still have gigantic gaps in our knowledge about basic live-or-death issues that affect millions of people. Especially in the area of human health we still take as dogma things that later turn out to be almost certainly completely wrong and in the meantime have cost millions of lives. And political and economic factors still distort the scientific process at least as much as what you call "crash and burn science".

The hard work of modern science has also produced fantastic results, but I don't think it can ever fill all the gaps in our understanding of the world by itself. We need creative approaches, wild speculation and experimentation, phenomenology, and philosophical and spiritual exploration just as much as we need those millions of scientists doing the painstaking work of endless iterations of controlled experiments.
yes, the common complaint about separate chaining being effectively mandatory is about unordered_map and unordered_set. It looks like std::set suffers from essentially the same pathology though: you cannot use implementations with good data layouts (b-trees) because the standard imposes unreasonable requirements about iterator invalidation.

To me the interesting bit is that an even a VR executive a decade plus into working in the field doesn’t find this device compelling enough to own it.

I get that the thesis is that this version is the devkit etc, but viable consumer product status (read: enough adoption for the device to be profitable) seems very far away

Does anyone understand why the arm64 instance types are showing roughly half the performance versus the comparable x64 instances in this? Other benchmarks I've seen put them within 20% of each other. Is this just a hyperthreading vs full core thing?

I built GaitAnalyzer[1], to analyze my gait laptop; I had deployed it briefly in production when I had enough credits to foot the AWS GPU bills. Ollama made it very simple to deploy the application, Anyone who has used docker before can now run GaitAnalyzer in their computer.

Started too early I guess. Ten years later and the blade transport use case would have come in at just the right time to salvage the investment. Back when Cargolifter shut down, rotor sizes were still in a range where ground transport isn't all that challenging.
I've been using nix to build docker containers (from a Mac). I would like to skip docker as well, but I wouldn't know how. On the server, I use docker swarm, with traefik as load balancer, in a very small machine, which I can later grow. It works pretty well for me. Nix on the CI has never fail for anything but mistakes of my own.

No, that dockerfile is not equivalent because the hello-world is not statically built in the nix version.

However I'll give you that it could be smaller in more complex examples. For example glibcLocales is for all locales which is quite chunky but your application only needs one locale.
TL;DR: To unlock the true potential of LLMs for business success, augment them with domain-specific knowledge using techniques like few-shot prompting, fine-tuning, bootstrapping, reinforcement learning, and knowledge graph integration. Combine LLM reasoning with structured data to drive innovation and gain a competitive edge.

Both O-O and O-O-O castles move the king by two squares.
It gets more interesting if you want to also store fisher random chess, because the casting can involve a king move by any number of swuares or not moving at all. But even in this case the casting could be unambiguously recorded as a move by 2 squares(even if the king doesn't move at all)

Rarely, I get a "Is this a good time to call you on your cell?" More frequently, "can we set up a video call soonest?" My point was, I don't know the last time I've had someone from work just call me out of the blue on my phone. And, honestly, there are only a handful of people outside of doctors/service people/etc. who do.

Back in the day, the phone rang--if not constantly--very frequently.

A nice upgrade to that is to put root in a tmpfs RAM filesystem instead of ZFS:

https://elis.nu/blog/2020/05/nixos-tmpfs-as-root/

That way it doesn't even need to bother with resetting to ZFS snapshots, instead it just wipes root on shutdown and reconstructs it in RAM on reboot.

Then, optionally, with some extra work you can put /home in tmpfs too:

https://elis.nu/blog/2020/06/nixos-tmpfs-as-home/

That setup uses Home Manager, so maybe it's not for you, but worth mentioning if we're talking about making all state declarative and reproducible. You have to use the Impermanence module and set up some soft links to permanent home folders on different drive or partition. But for making all state on the system reproducible and declarative, this is the best way afaik.

There are some birds even now that are "obviously" theropod dinosaurs (all birds are dinosaurs, but some are phenotypically closer to their ancestors than others). The sauropod lineage is truly dead though – birds are still their closest extant relatives, but the lineages diverged already in the late Triassic, ~230M years ago.

As someone blind, my two pens are that noise, power consumption, and fragility are things that could be compromised to a large degree. If I've had a braille display at school and uni, it would've helped with many of my math issues. If it works and it is cheap, it would be a big step forward for many people. Power is not that expensive compared to the current displays, noise could be mitegated or just powered through, and important stuff could be kept in good order. Money are harder to spend.

Screen readers are perfect for plain text and gui navigation, but a multi dimensional object like an equation are easier to understand if you have your hands on it.
It depends what the goal is. If i's to display moves to humans, then this approach seems correct (not sure if optimal). It doesn't require implementing a full chess engine just to code/decode a move, as others have suggested.

If the goal is to replay the moves, instead, you need to keep track of the position anyway. In this case I would suggest a simple scheme: piece-destination. Each player only has 16 pieces at most at any moment in a game, so 4 bits will suffice. Each piece in a given square can only move to a fixed number of destination squares. A Queen can move to 27 other squares (7 horizontally, 7 vertically, 13 diagonally when in one of the four central square). All other pieces have less freedom: Kings have 8 natural moves, plus 2 castles; Pawns have 2 captures, 2 normal moves forward, and 4 possible move-and-promote; and so on. So the 27 for a Queen is the upper limit, and that needs 5 bits. In total 9 bits per move. Unfortunately that's more than one byte, so you still need some bit-wise processing...

I feel like cases where the import is different from the package name yield false positives

i.e. if I have

it would complain

is there a way to configure that somehow?

Doesn't the Carnot engine capture the absolute thermodynamic optimum for extracting usable energy from a hot object? How do you beat it?
Why? — I agree that it’s not reproducible, but so what?

We have 2-3 service updates a day from a dozen engineers working asynchronously — and we allow non-critical packages to float their versions. I’d say that successfully applies a fix/security patch/etc far, far more often than it breaks things.

Presumably we’re trying to minimize developer effort or maximize system reliability — and in my experience, having fresh packages does both.

So what’s the harm, precisely?

This was a great read from an industry insider.
It is certainly good to learn, that there _are_ different number systems. Such knowledge can only serve to potentially at some point spark ideas. I see roman numbers as related to a unary system for example. In computer stuff we learn about binary, octal, and hexadecimal representation too (even if they are something else to decimal system than roman numbers are to it). It will not hurt mathematical ability and thought to know such things.

I agree but I also know (as a university employee) that the reason they don’t do this is because then they would have to pay for and manage the hosting of hundreds of thousands of articles. From the university’s perspective, managing and hosting articles is exactly what publishers do, so universities cede that work to publishers. What is needed is a public database of all publicly-funded research.

I think this theory is wrong about the sources of randomness.

But it's super cool that they show that a bit of randomness could explain dark matter and energy.

Personally I believe that the randomness might come from chaotic "background" gravitational waves from sources outside of universe and from times before Big Bang.
I can tell you but it’s a bit depressing. So turn back yea who are happy! Don’t read this. I thought it was something spiritual/mystical when I was younger and I liked that a lot more! And if you wanna keep enjoying dreams collapse my comment right now!!!

Here’s the boring nightmare: so… your mind is thinking what comes next? What comes next? And it’s corrected repeatedly by information from the eyes and ears. Maybe the nose. It constantly corrects and that’s your ‘experience’.

When you dream the system is still running; just no correction from the eyes

so you see a man in your dream and your brain goes -> what’s next? And it’ll take a guess. If good: nicer dream. If bad: bad(der) dream. Frankly, it’s usually something (seemingly) random which counts as neutral.

When wacky things happen your eye input isn’t correcting, so things get pretty wild or tame depending on how good your brains prediction is.

Your brain is going through scenarios with no correcting input.

Since I realized this 8-9 years ago I’ve been trying to prove this wrong to myself.

I wish it was spiritual or mystical but it’s pretty conclusively my deluded half asleep mind doing this. I have said goodbye to loved ones in dreams, a physically impossible scenario and it’s like your living it, just no reality correction from the eyes or ears.

Most people forget their dreams, but I get 4-6 a night EVERY damn night and they are like being awake!

ps. If anyone knows how to reduce dreaming please leave a comment! I don’t mind dreaming, but I envy falling asleep and waking up 7-8 hours in the future ready for the next day.

> Here we demonstrate that neural networks synchronize individual action potentials to create large-amplitude, rhythmic and self-perpetuating ionic waves in the interstitial fluid of the brain

This line is the money shot. An action potential is the variable electrical charge of a neuron, and they maintain that charge by containing a certain concentration of ions relative to the surrounding cerebrospinal fluid. This paper proposes that neurons synchonise their charge state, which forces ions to flow in or out of the neurons in bulk, the movement of these ions causing the cerebrospinal fluid to move around, clearing out the accumulated debris.
