Seneca wrote about slavery (not totally on board) as did Aristotle (gung ho).

I'm pretty sure your average literate roman would have been against his own slavery (being enslaved probably doesn't do wonders for one's auctoritas); the difference was that asymmetric relationships, "laws for thee, not for me", were a little more acceptable then than now.
I'm in Europe, I haven't encountered anyone in my life who has used iMessage (everyone uses WhatsApp, now also Telegram/Signal), so I don't really have a use for it, when I wanted to try the weird AR emoji / heartbeat reaction message things with my partner we noticed we both had iMessage turned off, I guess it's like a setting that maybe we skipped during the phone setup? Not sure if it's on by default for some people.

I agree with the fundamental problem, but I don't really follow the analysis. I thought this would be more about the zillions of paper-mill journal articles used by "academics" to advance their careers. I don't really agree that it's all that much harder to search on most deep academic (eg beyond undergraduate) topics. You used to have to request or go into stacks to find physical journals, and even now most interesting research have search terms and topics that nobody would choose to search optimize for. You don't use Google to find academic research most of the time.

Where I do disagree is that there aren't enough qualified people to hold positions (at least in the US/Europe) for academic research in the sciences. In fact much of the garbage is from people smart enough to competitively optimize their career at the expense of research and other researchers. That goes on to the departments that in turn optimize for # papers and $ grants for tenure decisions. The shame of Ranga Dias is on the department that ignored evidence of fraud as much as on him. The same for Tessier-Lavigne and the other scandals around Alzheimer's research. There was too much focused money and people in academia for the fame and power rather than research.
Have you explored fiber bragg grating. 10 years ago a student of mine semi successfully explored sensing the shape of firefighter hose using that technique. Seems to gain new traction again lately for optical shape sensing.

How nice of you to give a rather elaborate answer to a question asked towards somebody else.

I don't think your assumption is correct based on this sentence: "I also want to take this moment to clearly state that Evan Koblentz, the director of the Vintage Computer Federation for many years, who took the original donation, had absolutely no say or part in this pulping of historical magazines, having been driven out of the organization years before."

This algorithm is pretty neat. I wonder if for the use case outlined by the post they could get even better compression through the use of fewer significant digits. For the purposes of recording times, 0. 00768 is likely just as useful as 0.0076792240142822266
It doesn't matter what is under the hood. A statement can be useful - introduce new views, make valuable points, reduce risks, help resolve conflicts, etc - regardless of whether there is a ghost behind the text. It just needs to be logically sound, consistent with facts about the world, and objectively useful. Then it can make a real world contribution.

The cause is that you don't know how to evaluate when a statement is useful on its own merits. That means that you have to fall back on judging statements based on the identity of the speaker. In the case of AI, your prejudice against math and formulas as effective forms of reasoning means you can't critically analyze - or gain benefit from - statements the AI makes.

It's very similar to the internal blockage of a person who immediately dismisses anything a woman, racial minority, mentally ill, or queer person says. The only way to repair it is to spend time talking to the AI, reading about it, and learning how to debate ideas.

That's the last thing someone with a prejudice wants to do. Curious investigation undermines the safety and certainty of bigoted beliefs. But it's essential if you want to have effective opinions about AI, and useful interactions with AI.

IOT devices reporting status based on the same templates should not qualify as unique pages (count the number of templates if you want). Now if I do a search for some news, many almost verbatim copies would show up. They should only count as one, as we are looking for unique texts!
...OK, you made me double-check. Used this instead:

--format 'vcodec=av01/bestvideo*+bestaudio/best'

And it started downloading `.webm` streams and not `.mp4` (only one video had an AV1 stream). Tested with several videos, quality is the same and some files are actually 40% smaller.

...Whoa. Thanks for making me double-check!

Somebody down-voted you, I seem to recall seeing earlier, sorry about that. Your comment was valuable, though I'd definitely use more productive tone next time.
Sorry but, this is just flailing your arms around hoping to hit something, Trump didn't care one bit what the opposition nor the media said about him, and maybe just maybe the media isn't as critical of Biden because he isn't as divisive as Trump was.

And what genocide would that be?

First of all not Biden's job to prosecute anyone and secondly they are trying to investigate him but Republicans are the ones trying to stall it[1]

The thing that makes them "caustic or acidic" is that they are acidic (~3pH), by virtue of having dissolved carbon dioxide (ie carbonic acid) + acidic preservatives in them. You are putting them into your stomach (with your gastric acid, ~2pH). If you spilled your stomach contents on the concrete shipping dock repeatedly, it would weaken the concrete much faster. Now, I don't drink soda and they are objectively bad for your teeth, but the fact that they eat away at concrete does not seem like the right reason to avoid them.
Anyone else feel like agile is partially to blame? The constant treadmill of work items, the stress of getting things done before sprint end, the demos failing, the anxiety when you get a bug report?

There are various knobs in ClickHouse that allow you to trade memory usage for performance. ( https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/operations/settings/query-com... e.g.)

But yes, I've seen similar issues, running out of memory during query processing, it's a price you pay for higher performance. You need to know what's happening under the hood and do more work to make sure your queries will work well. I think postgres can be a thousand or more times slower, and doesn't have the horizontal scalability, so if you need to do complex queries/aggregations over billions of records then "return result" doesn't cut it. If postgres addresses your needs then great- you don't need to use ClickHouse...
Boring answer: Same reason we do a lot of stupid things, haha.

“If C is so unsafe and C++ is so unwieldy why does anyone use them?”

Because that’s what they learned, or because that's how the codebase is structured when you get there. When all you have is a bike you’re going to ride that shit everywhere.

You rarely if ever get the chance to start from scratch at work (where most code is written) and your job is to follow the pre-set pattern most of the time unless it becomes completely untenable. Sure, inheritance is worse in pretty much every way, but if everyone you're hiring does it that way, your codebase is built that way, etc, you're going to make the best of it because that's your job.
Wait... Apple has the worst security record of any of the FAANG companies and you are switching to them because they admitted a security issue after the fact?

I don't see justification for these two statements: "A doctorate just means much less, now, than it did. Most of today’s physicists would not measure up to the standards that the field held for itself when that photo was taken in 1927."
I.e. sure, the number of awarded PhDs is larger, and therefore the number of Nobel prizes awarded per PhD is lower. Also at least in fundamental physics there was not much progress over last 20-40 years, especially if you compare it with early 20th century when quantum mechanics and general relativity were 'created'. But I don't know what that tells about an average PhD now vs average PhD then or 'standards of the field'.
It’s only implementation inheritance that is questionable, and the reason is that it leads to mutual dependencies on implementation details between superclass and subclass. Reasoning about correctness becomes difficult, and the superclass is very constrained in what implementation details it can change without potentially breaking some subclass.

Bertrand Meyer’s open-closed principle can be read that way: The superclass is closed to modifications. But that goes against the principle of decoupling interface from implementation: The superclass interface is now stuck with the existing superclass implementation.
It's an interesting thought, but I think genetic analysis has shown that the populations at least moved west to east. Last time I read up on this, the TDLR was that genetic lineage + genetic diversity show a pretty clear "settlement of a few small groups of people" pattern.

Now, I suppose you could imagine a scenario where populations moved back and forth and the languages went westwards again after the settlement of the Americas.

Definitely the dates for settlement of this continent keep going further and further back than consensus admitted in the past. (Which is what First Nations have been telling us all along)
This is interesting! Although the way you have to have log2 fibers, and a different encoding in each junction, presents quite a manufacturing challenge. Oh well, it's not a problem at the research/POC phase!
> A major problem I encounter is that people I delegate to don't say when they don't understand something or don't reach out early enough when they get stuck. I always say that come to ask if you get stuck on something for more than a half a day or so. Unfortunately most people don't even when I ask them to.

I've definitely done this before, and in retrospect, having moved on to other roles, it's obvious to me now that the workplace & overall company was actually the problem. People reach out early when they're engaged and feel comfortable.
What's the purported logic for Alaska belonging to Russia? It was Russia's idea to sell Alaska in the first place, and was signed off by the emperor.
It doesn't have to be like this though. Actors and others who work on sets with David Lynch always talk about how wonderful he is to work with and how well he treats everyone. And he is also a man with singularity of vision who does things his way.
China was not interested in European goods and only wanted to get paid in 'hard currency' for its own goods and commodities (China, silk, tea, etc).

The Spanish went with it but the English did not want to and decided to find something the Chinese would want. And they found opium, which they could conveniently produce in their Asia colonies. They also started producing tea in their own colonies to avoid having to buy it from China (this is the reason why India produces tea and Indians drink chai).

* Cancelling rows - Just kill me, so many bugs and FINAL/PREWHERE are massive foot-guns

Again, I feel like we must be doing something wrong but we are paying an arm and a leg for that "privilege".
That is so cool! My biggest wide impact was creating the UI for first, or second, airline touchscreen check-in system ever deployed. The feeling of ownership/creation that I had knowing that my code was all around the West Coast was awesome.

I'm not sure exactly what part of it you're trying to refute since your comment is kind of all over the place, but GP comment is correct.

The reason it's called that is literally because of the Indian government.

Yeah, their analysis is skewed because their own "research" is speculative punditry about everyday topics -- a journalist dressed in academic robes -- which puts them in a different position than scientisists/specialists or the casual public.

Their frustration overlaps with a lot of other people's but isn't quite the same.

From the article, Proba-3 has 10 thrusters, so that would bring the total to 150 Watt.

I don't know the power budget for the satellite, but we can make an educated guess : the occulter is 1.4 meter diameter, or a surface area of 1.54 square meter. That's an upper bound for the surface area of the solar panels - there's nothing sticking out beyond the disk, that would interfere with observations.

Solar power at earth is about 1.3kW/sqm, solar panels are maybe 20% to 30% efficient. That puts you in the ballpark of 400 to 600W.

150W on standby would be a pretty big bite out of your power budget.

Criminal organizations like the mafia always thrive when the government is weak - and Italy's various governments of the last decades if not centuries have never been strong, neither in the sense of "the government provides security for its people", in "the government provides stability for its people" nor in "the government can actually govern". It's been clown show after clown show, on a level not much lower than the perpetually-gridlocked US Congress.

And from what we're seeing here in Europe, the US seems to head towards even lower levels of dysfunctionality, with crime running rampant in many cities, homeless encampments drug users and dealers as well as mentally ill people roaming on the street. No wonder people are saying that criminal gangs rule these cities.
> When you looked for information about how to tell if your bread is rising correctly, or about South Korean cement manufacturing, or the musical influences on Igor Stravinsky, or whatever weird thing, Google would pull up high-quality reference material, or blogs and BBS arguments among disagreeable weirdos who specialized in the subject and usually knew what they were talking about.

Going to rankly speculate the author added "musical influences on Igor Stravinsky" without doing the work of seeing what gets returned today.

Let's run "musical influences on Stravinsky" in Google:

1. Encyclopedia Britannica entry for Stravinsky. Bog standard

2. A three-year old article on Stravinsky from The Guardian. Not specifically about influences, but it does mention Rimsky-Korsakov as his teacher, so there's that

3. "Stravinsky" article from the World History Encyclopedia. Has a whole section on "Musical Style" which mentions all kinds of influences, including Debussy (who I know he copy-pasted from for the beginning of The Nightingale[1], so that checks out)

4. "Stravinsky" Wikipedia entry. Bog standard

5. 100 years of Stravinsky's influence. Got it backwards, but hey nobody's perfect

6. Some SUNY music 101 "Stravinsky" page which lists a lot of influences, including some more obscure ones Taruskin talked about (probably in his book on Stravinsky)

...

Looks pretty damned good to me.

Moral: don't pad a rule-of-three list with a musical example without first making sure you are correct.

It's been updated, but frankly they need to put out an entirely new article discussing how this first article came out in the first place. If this is something Hashicorp pushed to them, and they decided to publish it without seeking comment from OpenTofu first, that's really inappropriate and needs to be disclosed. Further, they owe it to everyone involved to give the same amount of attention to the OpenTofu response as they did the initial accusation, which means more than just one paragraph.

The even more extreme version of this JPL has been working on with their Starshade program. Not specifically a cornograph, but same concept of blocking light from a star to look for something more dim, in this case its looking for exoplanets. But it is a much larger scale. A 25 m deployable shade in formation 100 km away with the same level of mm precision.

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/starshade-would-take-formation...

Edit: Just to be clear on status of this, Starshade is still in early technology demonstration phase that they can actually build the shade and do the formation maintenance. This is not in full build or slated to launch any time soon.
Downside: the Epley maneuver makes you feel so, so dizzy while it is resetting the crystals. Trying every one of these weird motion sequences one after another would probably give you some peculiar syndrome all on its own.
