In this video [1], Physics Girl creates two vortices in a pool with
plates and dyes the fluid flow between them with food coloring.

How is this matter information flow between low pressure centers of local fluid vortices
different from wormholes and ER=EPR particle state linkage?
Is this effect of linkage between vortices the same thing as
ER=EPR wormholes?

Similarities:
Low pressure in the center of a vortex; fluid vortical dynamics,
State linkage across spacetime,
Refractory occlusion,
Glowing edge at the boundary of the system

FWIU, there are various types of quantum entropy; entanglement and
non-entanglement entropy. Quantum discord [2]:

> In quantum information theory, quantum discord is a measure of nonclassical correlations between two subsystems of a quantum system. It includes correlations that are due to quantum physical effects but do not necessarily involve quantum entanglement.

With wormholes, doesn't the degree of complexity of the universe
increase significantly; when any particle state in a system with fluidic
dynamics can be linked to any
other particle state in spacetime,
what is the degree of the Hilbert space?

Can there be ER=EPR wormholes between here and the other side of the
apparently expanding universe, and is c the speed of light the limit?

Is the universe expanding faster than c; is |v1|+|v2| > c anywhere?
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39718864 regarding Hubble's
expansion constant and `(v_other_direction + c) > c` :

> If virtual particle states are entangled with particle states in black holes or through ER=EPR bridges, is there effectively FTL?

> There is FTL within dielectric antennae.

Are there paths between points in spacetime which are
faster than the path that a photon would take given gravity and solar wind?

Also, this video depicts how much dye exchanges through the "sidewall"
of a fluid vortex. Is the dye that exchanges with the system outside the
vortex similar to Hawking Entropy that escapes a gravitational fluid
phenomena like a black hole, or a different phenomena?

Yes, I knew. In the context of this article, we are talking here about the currently supported Qubes release (4.2), which implemented the new virtualization mechanism. The latter was not broken in your links, or anywhere else after 2006.

It's not a design goal but actually working implementation at present.

> "virtually impossible" in this context means it needs to be proof against state actors

First of all, nothing is 100% proof against state actors, because they can use completely different attack vectors. I just believe that the VM escape attack vector is extremely unlikely in this case, and I rely on the lack of known escapes to make this conclusion, which should have been clear from my comments.

IME with ayahuasca (but probably other psychedelics too), there are different types of visions you might have. I've clearly experienced the typical CEVs but also have stark images coming through my mind's eye (much more akin to normal life visualizing). My tolerance is pretty high, it takes me an absurd amount to have the full-on technicolor visions, but I do seem to get a lot of color through my mind's eye still (usually related to the master plant diets and their spirits). There is another type of vision I've experienced that is somewhere in between that I have a lot of trouble describing, it pops out in a different way on top of normal vision.
That is such a problem in today's world. Of course you don't want to re-invent the wheel and all that, but we must be open to the idea of having to do it. Innovation stagnates if people suggesting redoing something are immediately seen as "dangerous, unprofessional or downright uneducated"
There’s a simple explanation about why the numbers are now a “media estimate”. The health ministry used hospital figures, which are now unable to obtain because they have no health infrastructure anymore. I’m sure Israel would love for the health ministry to stop counting deaths since they don’t have the tools to accurately do so, but it’s absurd to assume that would be more truthful than media estimates.

This sounds like a database to me.
I know many will disagree, but I feel that all the worst syntax mistakes from C/C++ are there.

It's uneasy to spot declarations:

Point p {1,2} // declaration
Point {1,2} // expression

Semicolons are sometimes required, sometimes not:

class C { ... }
struct S { ... };

I despise the use of <...> as a type of parentheses, as if the < and > symbols were not enough overloaded.

And finally, probably it's my problem, I really really hate the :: symbol.

Having witnessed someone lose their legs to a subway train at Union Square (a station where the barriers are likely not currently feasible), these changes need to happen faster. Eliminating incidents of passengers entering the track area would also reduce delays.

Either way, I’m sure there is a way to make barriers happen even at the most difficult stations. The MTA just has a culture of saying no. I am sure something would happen very quickly if bonuses were tied to finding a solution.

This seems like they rewrote Kafka to me.

Even moderately sized Kafka clusters can handle the throughput requirement. Can even optimize for performance over durability.

Some limited query capability with components such as ksqldb.

Maybe offload historical data to blob storage.

Then again, Kafka is kind of complicated to run at these scales. Very easy to fuck up.

If insurance was very profitable ‘in the US’, top-tier insurers would not be leaving states like Florida and California. There is a reason why they decide to no longer cover wildfire losses or hurricane losses. In the case of Florida, rampant fraud has turned the market into a basket-case.

Not every day a personally relevant story shows up. I've done work in that valley and with Billy. He's a special person and that valley is a special place. For many reasons. RMBL and Billy together are a beacon showing that science-for-the-sake-of-science can have long echoing impacts.

I think my favorite part about that place is that there is a vague tradition for scientists to turn over monitoring gear/sensors to Billy. And his house has become a improvised monitoring station much more than the manual measurements he makes every day.

RMBL and Gothic should serve as a prototype for what I wish every ecosystem had. It's deeply integrated with education of students, it allows and educated visitors, and the observations there will continue to serve the scientific community. I wish there was a network of things.
Writing custom code that does exactly what you need and nothing else is underrated. More people should do that! This is a great example.
Yeah, the ideal-ness of electronics is much better than other systems like mechanisms, chemical plants, etc. In systems with substantial unmodeled effects the principled methods for tuning don't work as well. But I agree that knowing the theory is still super important sometimes.
The median home price is under 400K, so a 120k salary is not really stretched.

I don’t know what point you are really trying to make. At uni the DBMS that everyone learns in their database course is an SQL database. The database part is technically just a binary file, but it’s not what people usually mean when they say they need a database for their project. Just like a search engine doesn’t have to be anything more than indexOf and a big text file. It’s just not very useful to think of it like that.

Where's the trouble here? This is just a 'did you know' story.

If they wanted to stir up trouble they would be better off pointing out that the US industrial maritime capacity is actually terrible, and that China and Europe have far more capable equipment than the US does. Thanks to expensive and largely futile wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there has been a chronic under-investment in naval capacity, neglect of the merchant marine and so on.
Most home insurers aren't really in the medical insurance business. And, as you indicate, most medical "insurance" companies no longer actually bear much risk. They make their profits by administering health plans for self-insured employers. The profit margin for that is low but the volumes are huge.

> * If an insurance company wanted to charge higher premiums, they would just do so.*

That’s not an option in many cases. The first homeowner featured in the article is in rural Northern California. CA’s insurance regulator has been extremely restrictive about letting insurers raise rates, especially in that area, so her insurance premium was probably a fraction of the expected cost of insurance claims.
Are there a lot of downsides to that for home/liability insurance?

Obviously with something like medical insurance, where people often carry risks that are no fault of their own, there are downsides.

It's far from secure. You are using an outdated phone, which hasn't received any kind of firmware or vendor security patches in a while. And as far as I remember, LineageOS doesn't support relocking the bootloader which further reduces the overall security of your phone
I had a similar idea (except using kafka) : have all the nodes write to a kafka cluster, used for buffering, and let some consumer write those data in batch, into whatever database engine(s) you need for querying, with intermediate pre-processing steps whenever needed. This lets you trade latency for write buffering, while not loosing data thanks to kafka durability guarantees.

What would you use for streaming directly to s3 in high volumes ?
Good article.

> EBS has automated backups and recovery built in and high uptime guarantees, so we don’t feel that we’ve missed out on any of the reliability guarantees that Aurora offered.

It may not matter for their use case, but I don't believe this is accurate in a general sense. EBS volumes are local to an availability zone while Aurora's storage is replicated across a quorum of AZs [0]. If a region loses an AZ, the database instance can be failed over to a healthy one with little downtime. This has only happened to me a couple times over the past three years, but it was pretty seamless and things were back on track pretty fast.

I didn't see anything in the article about addressing availability if there is an AZ outage. It may simply not matter or maybe they have solved for it. Could be a good topic for a follow up article.

You're correct. My other phones were from my wireless carrier, and didn't support unlocking the bootloader, so I had to keep upgrading (over a period of years.) I bought the Zenfone to try to break that cycle. The old devices still function, aside from being outside of vendor support (or in the case of one, incompatible with the carrier's network after infrastructure upgrades.)

If you only need those things there’s also an off the shelf solution for log files. Time you spend reinventing the wheel is time you aren’t spending finding product-market fit (if you’ve already found it you wouldn’t even consider it because you’d be too busy servicing the flood of customers.)

Unless your company is so far past product market fit that it hires qualified applicants by the classfull or whatever-it-is is their product, they have no business coding up custom infra bits. The opportunity cost alone is sufficient argument against, though far from the only one.
Yeah. They basically defined a binary format. I wouldn’t call it a database either.
That literally requires human annotators. If you can do even 75% as well as a human but at 1000x the scale, you still win using the LLMs. Not to mention, I personally do think on a simple task like "Does document A support response B", GPT can probably beat most humans unless the humans are going very slow and possibly have domain knowledge depending on the case.

What bourbon would you recommend?

I'm surprised to see the (mostly) critical posts. My reaction before coming to the comments was:

- This is core to their platform, makes sense to fit it closely to their use cases

- They didn't need most of what a full database offers - they're "just" logging

- They know the tradeoffs and designed appropriately to accept those to keep costs down

I'm a big believer in building on top of the solved problems in the world, but it's also completely okay to build shit. That used to be what this industry did, and now it seems to have shifted in the direction of like 5-10% of large players invent shit and open source it, and the other 90-95% are just stitching together things they didn't build in infrastructure that they don't own or operate, to produce the latest CRUD app. And hell, that's not bad either, it's pretty much my job. But it's also occasionally nice to see someone build to their spec and save a few dollars. It's a good reminder that costs matter, particularly when money isn't free and incinerating endless piles of it chasing a (successful) public exit is no longer the norm.

I get the arguments that developer time isn't free, but neither is running AWS managed services, despite the name. And they didn't really build a general purpose database, they built a much simpler logger for their use case to replace a database. I'd be surprised if they hired someone additional to build this, and if they did, I'd guess (knowing absolutely nothing) that the added dev spends 80% of their time doing other things. It's not like they launched a datacenter. They just built the software and run it on cheaper AWS services versus paying AWS extra for the more complex product.
Your point ignores history. My point, complementing yours, is that there should not be countries at all in the world so why are you focusing in Zionism and Muslims?

I don't think there should a Chinese Military base in Argentina, have you head about that? I can choose zillions of worldwide topics around the world but there is something special about this topic, IMHO antisemitism. There are 16m Jewish people in a world of 8b, and a single Jewish country in the world which won several wars in condition of inferiority and we continue to speak about Israel. The invasion of Iraq by USA and Guantanamo has less press, European genocides and colonialism either yet they defined and are defining the life of people more than Israel.

History is a continuum.
Fascinating. Thanks for the clue. It's the most complete blank for me of all the tests. I looked up the reference image, but still cannot see it in figure 2G. I can't even guess at where the eyes/nose/mouth are in the clouds.

> One of my historical fascinations is watching the co-evolution of rail and telecommunications line networks, since both have similar needs.

There's a lot of cross over. One history of Sprint evolved long distance service as a way to make money off Southern Pacific's internal phone services, that were mostly run in rail right of way. I've heard of specialized fiber laying train cars that trench, lay fiber, and cover it up as the car moves along the track.
