What arbitrary rules? I am simply saying that it is impossible to underwrite for anyone, including the government, buildings that are built in known high risk zones.

Just because a city is near a port does not mean that exact spot of land is a flood zone. Just because you live in a fire prone region does not mean your house cannot be covered. There are a lot of ways to retrofit homes for fire prone areas including landscaping changes.

You’re entirely correct that there are threats to buildings everywhere. My point is that most state/government programs treat areas that are impossible to underwrite. I am suggesting that in those cases perhaps it’s more cost effective to not underwrite the risk. You could shape it different ways, from not underwriting it at all to underwriting the risk but on a loss, paying for the relocation not rebuild.

This has nothing to do with being a public good and more that zones that are known complete loss high risk zones should be mitigated. Yes nature exists everywhere but you can generally underwrite things when your entire pool is not experiencing a total loss.

Is suggesting a home built in a flood zone should not be rebuilt arbitrary? Is suggesting homeowners in high risk fire zones take the steps to alter their landscaping to reduce risk arbitrary? You are sharing all these feel good sentiments and I am simply saying it’s not feasible to underwrite these activities.
Good example of digging with a spoon as they stated was the original goal. And it still compiles on an M1 macbook despite being a decade old code base.
Yes i think shaking may induce good dissolution and mixing and may be higher intensity than mixing using spoon or fork.

My thought was on the lines of non turbulent mixing with spoon or fork, entirely on the basis of mixing efficiency.

It might be because you weren't in a Physics or an Engineering program.

Colleges tend to have two tracks for physics, one that's closer to high school physics, which is as you described. A collection of algebraic equations that you have to either remember or, if your professor was kind, given a crib sheet of.

The other is the "Engineering" or "Calculus" based physics track where, as you can imagine, you're taking Calc 1 and Physics 1 at the same time.

I have seen some, kinder, programs where you take Calc 1 in your first semester and start the Physics classes in your second semester.

There's a lot of layering going on, I read both the methodology and the article written for The Guardian.

eg:

Green beans are another example. They qualify as high-risk primarily because of a pesticide called acephate or one of its breakdown products, methamidophos. Only 4% of conventional, domestic green bean samples were positive for one or both – but their pesticide levels were often alarmingly high.

Attention is paid to the proportion of a category that is pesticide free and to the average and peak pesticide levels in those samples that test positive.

Some food categories have most samples testing positive for low levels of not very risky chemicals, other categories mostly test clean but (big but) where there are pesticides the levels are high and dangerously so.

It's done this way to get a clear picture of the risk spikes .. rather than "washing out" the risk by averaging across a large number of samples.

My pet question is “Which weighs more, 1000cm^3 of styrofoam or 1cm^3 of tungsten?”

Most LLMs go through the calculation and find the styrofoam is heavier, then confidently announces that the tungsten weighs more. Strange considering it’ll say something very nearly like “The styrofoam weighs 50 g and the tungsten weighs 19.3 g, therefore the tungsten is heavier.”
They made very successful use of consumer-level tech to defeat military-grade tech, e.g. various uses of drones to deliver munitions, and GSM networks as beacons over enemy territory.
No wonder: given their constraints, they jump on every solution that can work right now, with near-zero effort. While using a foreign-controlled tech is usually frowned upon, the US is not the side from which they particularly need to hide. I would rather see them using Signal though.

For me, Opus got it in two tries:

>jack has 15 sisters, each sister has 3 brothers. How many brothers does jack have?

Let's approach this step-by-step:

1) We know that Jack has 15 sisters.

2) Each of Jack's sisters has 3 brothers.

3) Since all the sisters are Jack's siblings, they share the same brothers. In other words, the brothers of one sister are the same as the brothers of any other sister.

4) Therefore, the number of brothers that Jack has is the same as the number of brothers each of his sisters has.

5) We are told that each sister has 3 brothers.

Therefore, Jack has 3 brothers.

> Nope

You're right, I made an error in my reasoning. Let me try again:

1) Jack has 15 sisters.

2) Each of Jack's sisters has 3 brothers.

3) Jack is one of the brothers of each of his sisters.

4) Therefore, the total number of brothers (including Jack) is 3.

5) To find the number of brothers Jack has, we need to subtract Jack from the total number of brothers.

6) $\text{Number of Jack's brothers} = \text{Total brothers} - \text{Jack} = 3 - 1 = 2$

Therefore, Jack has 2 brothers.

The good thing is that, for hobbyists anyway, there are so many used and new-old-stock Z80s floating around that the immediate impact of this won't hit for a while. After that, there are plenty of soft core (fpga) Z80 clones, as well as emulators to run on modern microcontrollers. Zilog also has ISA compatible microcontrollers that can be retrofitted. It's unfortunate that the official Z80 is being retired, but the future of retro-computing is cycle-accurate FPGAs.

I ran into similar issues with Motorola 68k builds. Many of the interesting processors are vintage. So, over time, any builds I open source would become increasingly difficult for folks to build. But, produce a cycle accurate clone core on FPGA, and this ISA can be preserved on a reasonable facsimile of real hardware for generations to come. Thankfully, Amiga enthusiasts have already taken the lead in FPGA preservation.
It's a good thing Apple has a restrictive and exclusive app store to protect us from malware and enable repressive authoritarian regimes everywhere.
Agree, it's speculation, but the car has failed, there is many documented cases of similar failures.

Like I said I've owned a lot of cars, some of them were complete bombs, driven them hard in some very harsh conditions, they just don't shut down or not work like that.

I'm talking cars I purchased for $1000 dollars in some cases. I had a Suzuki Sierra with about 114953 on the clock, I drove that thing for years before I retired it. Before that a farmer owned it and used it for ranching work.

We're talking about a car that costs > $80000 starting.
What kind of answer could even possibly answer that question?

Any answer is subject to the follow-up question, well why does that thing exist? Why did that happen?

If a question cannot be answered, there's no point in asking it I think.

Other questions about the physical laws governing the big bang or inflation or black holes can be answered, although they might be very difficult to answer.
I am not sure what you mean by hydrogen.

QCD is about the strong forces, i.e. about the nucleus, which is a proton or a deuteron in the case of hydrogen.

However nobody has ever succeeded to make a useful simulation of the proton or of any other hadron.

Such a simulation must be based on a small number of universal parameters, e.g. the masses of the quarks etc., and it must be able to compute useful physical quantities, e.g. the masses of the hadrons, the magnetic moments of the hadrons, the energies of their excited states and so on, with a precision comparable with that of the empirical measurements.

Nobody has succeeded until now to perform such a simulation.

On the other hand, if we assign to the proton the properties determined by empirical measurements (i.e. mass and magnetic moment), quantum electrodynamics can be used to compute with high precision various properties of the proton-electron system, i.e. of the hydrogen atom.

Things like time stamps used to be commonly embedded in the binaries, debug packaging, and similar.

Those change with every build, and really screw with things like this.

It's not just timestamps either, it turns out there is a bunch of miscellaneous stuff that gets generated during build runs ("name of build host", random input for $reasons, etc).

So, package building processes have had to be changed.

Not impossible, just time consuming to get done it seems.
If so, the West must ban China from accessing Western markets. It's unfair to everyone to allow China to play ball in our yard while We can't go there and play.

It’s some regionally specific history/story. I asked for a some citations and he says make up my own mind. Felt very inflammatory and racist. Like I said I don’t know if this man who runs the black cowboy museum is a liar or this is specific to the locality. Happy to see sources when there are different opinions. I just don’t appreciate race baiting being thrown around with any evidence, in this case it seems to be race baiting of itself compared to the original article, hence being a racist of some sort.
> Every multinational business has to deal with laws in multiple countries that may be incompatible with others.

Indeed, but why should Western countries allow Chinese companies access to our markets when China offers absolutely zero reciprocity?

It's one thing to operate in an economic/political sphere that shares a reasonable set of common political and economic values, and deal with the relatively tiny differences (tax codes, data protection laws, content moderation, advertising restrictions, ...). Hell even with larger differences (EU GDPR vs US laissez-faire), US megacorps can still freely operate in Europe.

In contrast, it's a completely different thing to operate in China - either you are outright banned (Meta, Twitter, Google, ...) or you have to have a corporate entity where the foreign party must be below 50% ownership, and in some cases you have to install a parallel governance structure of the CCP [1].

Anecdotally, this matches my second-plus-hand observations. In particular, professional "caring" is seen as clinical curiosity (at best) and less authentic, whereas ordinary-person empathy is more meaningful even in small doses.

Relatedly, addicts who seek traditional addiction therapy (anecdotally and second-plus-hand observationally) become lifetime (so far) addicts in how they perceive themselves, even if they quit the substance/behaviour. This tends to have a depressive effect. Addicts who make other changes in their lives which break the addictions have a more reflective view of the different times of their lives (non-addicted, addicted, then non-addicted again), and appear happier.

Addiction and depression are complicated things which I do not have any special knowledge of personally! However, I have varying adjacencies to many people with more complicated lives than my own. I share these anecdotes only because the observations are stark and seem important.

Addition: Learning a language is simple, but becoming skilled in using it and understanding its common ecosystem takes a long time, usually between 6 to 18 months for most people. The ecosystem of front-end applications overlaps significantly with Node.js, which is undeniable. No matter how much you like C#, you can't avoid initiating a front-end project that includes Node.js. Therefore, you end up managing both Node.js and C# ecosystems. Don't mention Blazor to me; in reality, most applications still use React, Angular, or Vue.
When people say they're genuinely curious they usually aren't.

In China there are no checks and balances and a law that essentially says: I do whatever I want. Laws can be created out of thin air since the communist party has ultimate authority over all government.
