No. A lot of hypersonic stuff is partly classified. So the journalists are left with the definition: hypersonic speed is Mach 5 and higher. Mach 5 is where the heat produced in the boundary layer (by compression, mainly) is high enough that chemical reactions take place and you need to account for them in your computational fluid dynamics.

As a rule of thumb, when you hear boost-glide vehicle, the speed is close to Mach 20. If it’s air breathing (ramjet or scramjet) the speed is slightly higher than Mach 5, but probably less than Mach 10.

Seems to me the article is more pointing out that when discourse on a digital platform starts broadly diverging from what's happening in the real world, lots of people gradually catch on and stop paying attention.

Understanding what's real is hard and attribution is messy, but the conspiracy stuff that's flooded popular social media platforms since 2016 or so just isn't real. There are plenty of unfortunate souls caught up in the narrative, but far more people are turned off by it and move on.

Oh, I did not mean to say that what SBF has done was a victimless crime, I meant the question to be general, albeit off-topic. My bad!
Because transaction fees on blockchains run as an auction market, low-cost transactions are enabled by high transaction throughput, at least relative to demand. In other words, any chain that has high throughput and/or low demand will have low-cost transactions. Solana and Ethereum attempt to achieve high throughput in very different ways.

Ethereum blobs create transaction space that has a 0-of-n trust model (for zk-roll-ups) or a 1-of-n trust model (for optimistic roll-ups). This means that there needs to be either zero or one honest participant who carefully receives, processes and validates every single roll-up transaction in order for an outsider to be able to prove that the chain was not tampered with.

In contrast, Solana achieves throughput by taking the classic blockchain structure (with its n-of-n trust model) and cranking the parameters up to 11. Basically they said "be a standard blockchain, but do everything a hundred times faster on expensive servers with beefy CPUs and datacenter connections". The advantages are that it took less development time and there are less moving parts in the stack. The disadvantage is that the Solana blockchain is not actually verifiable, in the sense that you or I could download a piece of software onto our home computer and follow along with the chain to make sure it's valid. Ethereum is verifiable in this way, even down through all of its (properly-designed and fully implemented) L2s.

To distill the entire situation: In order to scale, Solana gives up some of the fundamental properties that make blockchains powerful. Ethereum, scaling with blobs, retains these fundamental blockchain properties.
Yeah - to me this isn't so much of a problem with tech but with the law in general being based around 1950s notions of employment.

Being able to summon a car to my location at the push of a button and to be able to track it as it arrives is amazing.

Being able to make money at any time by giving people rides in my car is great too.

In fact, trader joe's was selling bananas at almost the same price as everyone else. Costco already was selling at a higher price. I noticed that at $0.59 per pound price which is usually the price at walmart or other places, it works almost to trader joe's $0.19 per banana. I am seeing the prices are going up everywhere, even my friendly neighborhood grocery store.
My views have changed greatly, due to hearing these ideas. I may have ultimately ended up more extreme, but it's not an extreme version of what I had before.

I don't think the core/default Kate editor does the same "write and close the window" like Notepad++. Kate does have pretty cool options for session handling - which helps keep files open that you had been working on, etc...which i understand is not the same thing. But, now that you asked, i wonder if there is a plugin or extenson for Kate that might provide such a feature? I myself am a fan of Notepad++, and install it on any corporate-issued Windows machine that i am given by dayjobs...but at home, its all linux all the time, so Kate comes closest for me. I did see someone else mentioned that there is something named NotepadQQ or something which is like Notepad++ but works cross-platform...so that sounds interesting if true. And, i wonder if NotepaddQQ has that auto "write and close the window" workflow?

Why do you think punishment is only about rehabilitation?

Punishment has three purposes, namely, retribution, rehabilitation, and deterrence.

I also don't know how much rehabilitation actually occurs in our prisons. From what I understand, not much.
> It’s interesting that by contrast SVB leaders didn’t face any repercussions because they were part of the established ways of doing things even though that ended up being very costly for the government.

Why is it interesting? SVB leaders didn't engage in fraud or money laundering.
I wasn't referring specifically to rolling vs fixed release distros, and more just generally about the state of Nvidia's drivers on Wayland. Most distros still fallback to X11 with Nvidia because the Nvidia+Wayland still feels very much like a WIP.
Ideally, a much higher-tech system would have highly tailored solutions for incapacitation, rehabilitation, and restoration. (There should be no considerations for "retribution".)

I'm conflicted on whether incapacitation should continue only until rehabilitation is achieved, or also until restoration is completed.

Prison is just a really blunt instrument for incapacitation, and sentences are a really blunt way to predict how long it would take to be rehabilitated.

There's a couple of embedding startups out there -- I think there was one doing embedded analytics in our batch earlier on, but I don't remember if they pivoted. Looker is especially egregious in my opinion, since Google owns it.

You need to renew the license every 10 years, but as long as you renew you don't need to take a test (which is maybe what you mean by "lasts a lifetime").

Given an LLM, you can construct a perceptron-based model that approximates it, but that doesn't mean there's any obvious way of training a perceptron model that would produce something like an LLM.

What the universal approximation theorem tells you is that there's some algorithm you could use to train a (sufficiently-large) perceptron model to behave arbitrarily-closely to the equivalently-trained LLM – which, yeah, of course there is. There's a way of training an array of floating point numbers to do that, too. It's called the transformer architecture.

(Your misunderstandings are similar to the sorts of misunderstandings I had before I got in the habit of trying to (abstractly) implement every CS concept I came across. Kudos for trying to reason about AI from first principles, but you have to do a lot of reasoning before you stop being much wronger than the empiricists.)

And Lewis was into the original plot less than this one. Lewis is clearly on board with the progressive inclination to say that their cause is more important than operating within traditional bounds on behavior. Lewis was on board with SBF's irresponsible approach to risk management and regulatory oversight, because unlike Wall Streeters taking excessive risk for personal gain, SBF doing it for the sake of "improving humanity" was just breaking an egg to make an omelette.
Elevating Bacalhau with Nats.io: Simplifying Connectivity
Not a single one of you bigbrains used the word "maxima" correctly and it's driving me crazy.
technically true, but there is a common single point of failure many cadets and ships engineers fail to address in maritime shipping:

https://www.imo.org/en/About/Conventions/Pages/International...

Namely that every tanker, chemical tanker or gas carrier of 10,000 gross tonnage and upwards or every other ship of 70,000 gross tonnage and upwards, the main steering gear shall comprise two or more identical power units. Theres no requirement for separate circuits in these large applications. "power units" meaning we just duplicate the engine/partial drivetrain and slave it to the SCADA system as a standby unit. these standby's can be started by using residual air in the compressor system (if available) or by diverting charge air from the compressor system to the standby.

remember: we've been hacked, so compressor valves are likely to be locked shut (or worse, destroyed) until someone can get down to the engine room and force-open the valve manually.

ships will often "flip" between engines for service intervals, so it can be useful for the SOC team during triaging the problem, but the failover likely wouldnt provide much help.

to answer the question "couldnt we steer using air?" and yes you could, but it would be glacially slow. you might only have enough power air to move 5-10 degrees.
It’s equally absurd that nearly all research to this point presupposes that any neurodivergence is purely a medical disorder.

Ironically, this belief that science is purely objective and exists outside a social framework is how we arrive at these types of unquestioned faulty assumptions. That’s how we get homosexuality still being in the DSM as a mental disorder until the 70s.

“Maybe autistic people have some unique strengths” is hardly the most biased or ridiculous hypothesis in modern academia.

I think they were specifically addressing the single sentence they cited. And i'd have to agree that the people actually planting, growing, and harvesting the bananas fit the word "producer" much more than either a boss or a corporation or whatever boogeyman you want to imagine. I'd also agree that those planters and harvesters are probably underpaid in comparison to the corporations and bosses. I'd also like if people's hard labor were rewarded closer to the actual value they produce. Does this make me a communist?

Why do you think that?

He's not talking about Hamas specifically, which is a political movement running a party and charity work. He's not even talking about Hamas and the al-Qassam brigades specifically.

How you can know? Because a splinter group from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, is the second largest political force in the Gaza strip and that's not a movement he intends to help by removing Hamas.

If you dig up some israeli television you'll find that pundits and other talking heads are quite clear with their genocidal feelings, and that's how they're using the Amalek terminology. Same goes for pop songs high on the charts in Israel.

"Expecting the government to bear the costs of enforcing the law" is not generally what is meant by "socializing the losses", even if you can define the expression in a way that that makes sense.

You can snag one and listen, just can't transmit. Otherwise, no, no way to legally use it without obtaining an amateur radio certification/license.

Yes, the point of open source is to share, so that others can take advantage of a solution to a given problem. Redis does not do that.
Explaining why your keyboard feels so darn good–or way too mushy
Well written, thanks. Fully autonomous people seem to have a sharing instinct, likely dating back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors that - by virtue of being an instinct - is very hard to fight. So I am not holding my breath for any rapid changes in that behavior (for example by turn to copy left licenses), but the more often it happens the better for all of us.
OK, but if I want to put it on YT will I be able to? Or is the model that you are trying to drive traffic to your site rather than provide video generation?

Yeah depends on the country/jurisdiction - in Canada, an amateur radio certification is valid for life, and doesn't require any sort of re-testing or paid renewal or anything. Pretty nice. One of the few times the government has really done something right, IMO :)
I refuse the idea that I need to solve the problem of raising as many successful children as possible. If a person chooses to have children, then raising them successfully is a problem they need to face. I totally refuse the idea that having children is mandatory, necessary, or even desirable for a lot of people. The world would be a happier place if we stopped placing that expectation on everyone.

I have two step-children. Having children of my own (biologically) was never something I wanted to do for a lot of reasons. Without getting into TMI territory, I'll just say it was apparent (no pun intended) that one of my parents never wanted the responsibility + resented it, and the other wanted to "be a parent" without actually doing the work. So I did not have the desire or background that lends itself to being a good parent early on -- whether I've made a good showing or a mess of it later in life is something that my kids would have to answer...
I've been doing my own thing since 2002. Haven't looked back to a time of being owned by others.

Some days ago ICP showed it can run ML on a blockchain.

While this is nice and does show that distributed computing is a real possibility I also don't think that anyone is going to switch from Amazon/Azure to ICP any time soon.

But I must say the idea is really nice. It's very easy to develop Actor model based software and deploy it on ICP.
Many states (15) have a duty to retreat, not everywhere is a stand your ground state (35 states). It's complicated, but most of the time in your home there is an exception.
It’s ok and normal to feel both. If I lost tens of thousands of dollars, I’d be thinking of how much that would affect either the timing or the quality of my retirement. That would tend to make me inclined toward feeling pretty damn vindictive.

And yet, the damage is done. Feels of anger and vengeance are withdrawals from your balance of available happiness and they don’t actually affect the end result. The money’s gone. Mourn it, accept it, and move on.

I’d totally forgive anyone for wishing bad things on him if he destroyed their investment. It’s better to forgive, but sometimes that’s asking a bit much.
> The PA does have a form of self government over the Palestinians. It's not a full state

Yes, it is, and it is recognized by much of the world as such (its a state that has spent its entire existence at war with and partially occupied by Israel, but saying it isn't a full state is like saying Ukraine isn't because of the war and Russian occupation.)
Am I misinterpreting this, or was your rabbi recommending that you deceive people?
