Those very large fission bombs are going to have much more than 1 critical mass of material, and so would be very dangerous in accidents. Implosion weapons can be designed so they cannot undergo a nuclear explosion unless the implosion occurs as designed, with all the charges going off at the proper very short intervals in time.
A lot depends on what are the important parts. It could be essentially identical if it supplies all the parts you care about and don't actually care too much what exact form it takes. But if you require the same exact gui controls then sure, totally different and not even an answer to the question.
Well, because at some point the processing fees are so high it makes no sense to distribute the earnings.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect to get "peanuts" paid out. Google AdSense is the same; you have to earn at least $100 to get it paid out, until then the earnings just accumulate in your account. Same goes for YouTube. I don't see it as unreasonable.

To be honest, I wouldn't care as a creator/a seller, unless the threshold is set high.

A strange star is still matter so that matter would just fall into the black hole as any other matter would. Tidal forces prior to the merger could result in some of the stranglet material being spewed out into space. AFAIK strange stars are an unconfirmed theory at present and the 'super stable' nature of strange matter, I'm unsure of what would happen. It'd be interesting to know this for sure.

So I've heard. I once did a train trip vom Braunschweig to Narvik. Braunschweig to Hamburg was typical: the waggon I had a reservation in was not provided. So the train was not only late but overfilled. The danish train again from Hamburg to Kopenhagen was perfect.

The polar express from Stockholm to Narvik was awesome. On the trip down we had problems with construction and ice, so we were stranded in Abisko. We were taken with buses to a hotel, got food and even got a refund + 700skr deduction for our next trip. No questions asked. The experience was the opposite of the one you get in Germany. No bureaucracy. We got the SMS after Riksgränsen!

The next day I couldn't make my original train from Stockholm to Kopenhagen, so the train conductor just got me a new ticket for free. No questions asked. No bureaucracy.

Clear communication, situation well handled, all good. So at least this part blew my mind! Also the ticket control by just checking seats. Awesome.
It was actually couple of weeks ago, but a small project that took mostly just two days to put together and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Notiflux (https://github.com/ikornaselur/notiflux): a small WebSocket broadcast server, the idea being that clients connect with WebSocket (such as a website) and then any source can send a POST request to the API to broadcast messages, allowing for real-time functionality from servers that don't support WebSockets, or you might have multiple sources that each might broadcast messages.

Auth is done by Notiflux having a public key and the sources have the corresponding private key, JWT tokens signed with the private key include topics and scope (subscribe or broadcast to the topics). Clients would auth with an API for example, get a JWT with maybe a 10 second expiry, use it to subscribe to the topics that the API would then broadcast to through Notiflux.

It was an excuse as well to play with WebSocket in Rust and learn a little bit about the Actor Pattern.

If I would continue I'd want to explore how well it scales, how much traffic it could handle and look into horizontal scaling, but I feel like it's complete enough as a toy project.
Earth's water future veers into sci-fi territory, researchers say
Finland has been a very poor country after WW II until the 1970s (compared to Sweden who had no war or Germany who lost the war). An economy best compared to Portugal or Greece.

The was a first overheating boom in the end of the 1980s, until a heavy recession took over in the 1990s. The next boom was Nokia driven in the 2000s until the global banking crisis. Since Nokia has fallen (well, it still exists but with a different business and more modest success) there has been little to no growth and heavy deindustrialization.

So basically Finland is back to the previous state of being a poor country with weak industry (I am exaggerating a bit). But the spending has continued to grow like the Nokia boom years had never ended.

Edit: Finland has one of the least favorite population pyramids in Europe. People getting older and no children. Very little immigration until maybe the last decade. And now a far right government with a strong anti-immigration agenda.
I had access to a Windows server VM at a previous job that was commissioned for a piece of work. The actual work was then stopped, but the IT folks never decommissioned the VM so I had a nice little server on the local network to play around with. It didn't have Internet access so I was somewhat limited in what I could do with it.

I ended up building a hacky internal IIS/PHP web app (I guess these days one would call it an SPA) that hooked into the company's Active Directory that showed a nice little page of people in our "business unit", with their names, pictures, employee grade (analyst/consultant/manager etc.) and subteam -- basically any bit of info I could get from a user's Active Directory profile.

It used Datatables (https://datatables.net/) for a simple text-based table view and Isotope (https://isotope.metafizzy.co/) for a card-based grid view that you could quickly toggle between.

I called it the "Book of Faces" and announced it to my team at a team social event, and it took off massively beause it was way more performant, simpler, and just much less painful to use than using the clunky corporate intranet app to check user profiles.

Word spread outside of my team and I started getting requests from various other teams to set up similar pages for them as well, which I was only too happy to oblige. This spurred me on to refactor it to make it as simple as possible to set up new team pages.

This silly thing boosted my profile a ridiculous amount within the company, just because I'd left a small footer "emailto" link that people could use to get in touch with suggestions/bugs.

I maintained it as a side project and surreptitious internal app for about 6 years until I left the org, after which I handed it over to someone else. Last I heard though, internal IT finally caught wind of it, and in what I suppose is a "progressive for its kind" response, spoke to the users of the various pages and built a corporate-ised version of the same thing.

A decade-plus of working in tech and data, and that IIS-PHP-JS monstrosity is still one of the bits of work I'm most proud of!
How? The current system is super simple:

revenue * 0.7 = total payout
total payout / no. of streams = payout per stream
payout per stream * streams of an artist = payout for artist

In the proposed system you'd have to calculate the payout per stream on a per-account basis and have additional complexities like how to handle family accounts etc.
The discussions is not about setting up an LLC in the EU, but specifically in Germany. Subsequent to that we are comparing this with other developed countries in the world, not all of which are in the EU, which is fine, and does not undermine the comparison.

So there are random spot checks where people will check passports. So "nobody will check passports" is false.
It needs to explain the method. For reproducibility. Nothing clear in the blog post but everything is well explained in the research paper. Kudo for that.

It seems solid. But I would like to have the same study with an human conversation instead of an AI one.
This is pretty tangential, but I just (1 hour ago) found out that iterm2 on Mac can integrate with tmux [1] if you run tmux with the argument "-CC", in a way that makes your tmux sessions map to the GUI windows / tabs in iterm2, including when using tmux on a remote machine via ssh.

I'm really excited about this, since I always forgot the hotkeys/commands for controlling tmux.

But maybe those experts should've been raising alarm over this? Western Europe is doing pretty poorly when it comes to economic growth. And prior to that Germany got a lot of help from the US, Spain did not do well, Italy was questionable, Portugal did not do well. Netherlands did well, but a lot of it is down to their location as a place for trade. That only leaves France and Belgium. Did they do well?

>We've been able to finance better healthcare before

Modern healthcare is better than anything before. Even in its dysfunctional state it is better. Sure, you might have to wait longer to see a specialist, but the number of cases where the reply you get is "nothing we can do" is lower.

The things you mention are more expensive to provide today. One of the reasons is that our requirements for those services are much higher leading to much higher inherent costs.
We have entire industries dedicated to telling lies and influencing behaviour - often in ways that are sold as fulfilling, but are actually self-harming.

So of course this technology is going to be used to do that more efficiently. And transparently, so no one is aware of it.

I can imagine a future where mainstream AI chat and interactions control the mainstream discourse, and guerrilla AIs operate at the fringes, pushing people into even more toxic discourses or - in some cases - acting to deprogram them.

It's going to make social media quite interesting.

But wasn't the example in question for a tutorial repl setup for you getting up and running with no config? That seems like a nice user experience for someone who wants to get up and running by just copy pasting a one liner...

What projects are you working on where you are using nested hash tables passed in as strings to the CLI that couldn't be written as data in a deps.edn?

What tools do you miss from lein (genuine question) moving to deps.edn was mostly painless for the teams I've worked wit
Yeah, it's not the same experience.

And you have to get into tmux configs which is a hassle by itself. I am not a fan of terminal multiplexers, I tend to forget them and when the server crashes or reboot it won't replay/restart what I was doing in those tabs anyway. I just use them for long running jobs I am testing. I also don't like the whole tmux window/pane manipulation you can do, I'd rather have my primary DM to do that well.

It's funny how tmux is downvoted in those replies though :D.
Fine, word lawyer, "nobody will check passports above the base rate of passport checking you may get anywhere, including any random trip".

Having WFH for the past 3 years, Im not sure I would start my own WFH company. Maybe Im in a company that doesnt have the culture to support it very well, but the amount of inefficiency I see on the engineering level would make me prefer a hybrid solution for my own company.

And, any material (of any density) can be made a black hole if there is enough of it. The "radius" (actually, one should properly talk about the circumference) of a black hole is proportional to its mass, so the "density" is proportional to mass^-2. M87's central black is about the same density as the air you are breathing.

TTL for a DNS response is in seconds, and is intended to be the maximum time a value is cached. If you request an address for a name that the server you are talking to is authoritative for, then you will always get the TTL set in the DNS records. If your request goes to a caching name server that is not authoritative then you may get a lower value, in fact you most likely will. If the intermediate server makes a new request upstream it can, as per the spec, just pass on the TTL it gets¹, but some seem to drop one second just-in-case even though it isn't needed² really.

If an intermediate server handed out the original TTL for all requests then the TTL would be effectively multiplied by each caching layer³, which is why you will only get the true TTL at the client end if a fresh request was actually made to the authoritative server(s).

--

[1] the fraction of a second difference caused by latency isn't likely to be significant for either long or short TTLs

[2] and on a really high latency link (like back when GPRS or POTS landlines were common, or some links even now in deep rural areas) 1s might not be enough anyway for the benefit they think they are giving

[3] so at my home where lookups go PiHole->8.8.8.8->authoritative it would make TTLs potentially up to 2x their intended length. Example: for a 1000s TTL if PiHole gets the lookup request with 1s remaining but hands out the true TTL, my client will not check for 1000s, potentially 999s late. Depending on the sequence of related requests to each DNS server from other clients, that could become 1998s in my case, longer if there were more caching layers.

They can't.

If you pay them to dissolve the company for you, they buy the shares from you and replace the board and the CEO. At that point, you're completely free from the company.

They then must take the 7-9 months needed to go through the whole dissolution process. There is a mandatory 6 month wait after announcing the dissolution to give lenders/sellers time to make claims against the company. This wait is 12 months in Germany.

There is also paperwork for the accounting, tax filings, etc.

The service takes care of all this as the new owners. Since they have done this literally thousands of times, they don't need to spend many man-hours on it. Therefore, the fee is fairly low, about 1000 dollars, of which 300 dollars are mandatory government fees.

Example (Swedish): https://www.bolagspartner.se/avveckla-aktiebolag/

So if you own a company with 11 000 dollars in the bank and no debt, they will pay you 10 000 dollars for it.

You can do everything online, including signing the contract. No need to visit a public notary or similar.

Modern Standard Arabic – The Missing Glossary
Arabic, as one of the six official UN languages, presents unique challenges in the digital era, particularly for automatic translation and gender inclusivity. This article argues that Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is not a single, uniform language, but a diverse set of dialects with varying vocabulary and expressions, posing complexities for machine learning and natural language processing applications.
At this point, there’s literally nothing useful / new that can be said on this. This is very clearly well into the territory of being a culture war issue. Both sides are entirely talking past each other, misrepresenting each other’s POVs, and there’s little if any room for nuanced discussion.
As made evident by any HN thread on this topic, tech nerds are among those buying into this BS hook, line, and sinker.
Wasn’t that clear? The goal of, time and again, is always to increase the workers rights. Workers 100 years ago didn’t have the rights we have now, and in 100 years workers then will have more rights than us now.
In that regard, working from home (and thus avoiding a long list of time consuming activities that have no positive outcome at all: commute time, traffic jams, etc.) is a step forward into that direction.

Every time I've picked up a novel to "try again", it's just blank, and I think a heavy dialog book would just make my head explode.

It's funny though, listening to Snow Crash last year was the first fiction audio book I've ever listened to, and that was interesting. Especially because I only listened while running, while listening it was like I was retrieving memories - so still not "imagining with my mind's eye" but still picturing but with audio.

In keeping with the HN tradition of off-topic comments about a submission's website design, I'm going to say I love the design of the blog's homepage. I find it very strange that it flows by column instead of by row, but I love the overall newspaper-like layout. I think there is a strange beauty in that chaos, and it's easy to get a birds-eye view of what the author cares and writes about.

I recall the first manifestations of work-from-home showed up in Academe where, in the late 80's, grad students as well as post docs were involved with both students and faculty, both of which worked to teach and supervise their multi-year student bodies (from year 1 to grad school and post docs). This meant you had teachers as well as levels of students with a wide scatter of study places as well as learn spaces. Initially large main frames were coupled with various campus wide networks (token-ring and later ethernet - which ultimately triumphed). These were called TSO, (time sharing option) with a complex time of use/department where each processor-second(often less) were tracked and debited to each department/prof/student = sucked increments from each associated grant.
It was soon found that a department could buy an Apple II or 8088/186/286/386/486 and use widely spread free programs to do much of the data processing. These boxes cost on the order of $3000-10,000 and could be coupled with low cost dot matrix printers with the result of doing tasks locally, and more importantly at very low cost to a grant than the TSO = huge IBM filled rooms with huge costs on an hourly basis, with the TSO accounting scheme aggregating these CPU milliseconds to each project. This TSO was in fact a data empire, with Kings/Princes/Vassals. Turf wars developed, departments were forbidden to use grant $$ to buy IBM/Apple/Clones as the data Kings were greedy. So the profs bought them with their own personal $$, then they would not allow personals in the labs - ultimately, the Apple/IBM Queens said "Off with their heads" and logic prevailed. Early data shares by FTP or sneaker net and then email = the start of what we have today.
Drawing a parallel with work from home, I know how this will end, heads are even now rolling.
Working from home will win in most cases - the places that demand presence will fade as old manglers (managers) are pensioned off, and things that demand presence will endure - we would hardly see The Boat Race worked from home - but with modern robotic rowers, it could be done, but that is another empire/war yet to come.
