One does not need determinant to define eigenvalues. For example:

If T is a linear operator on vector space V, a scalar a is an eigenvalue if there is a v in V s.t. Tv = av.

This is the approach the book takes.
If the poster doesn't like Elon Musk (clearly doesn't, from the extreme snark) then Elon's relationship with SpaceX seems like a very valid reason to consider them together, whether you think the company is doing well or not.

It's kind of silly to tell someone the CEO has no impact on a company and that the CEOs previous antics are no reason to dismiss the company's current output.
It adds another fact that must be proven. Some cases will be able to meet the other bars but unable to convince a jury of that recklessness.

If you just search for "residential proxy" you'll find a lot of them are basically Raspberry Pis or similar shipped to people who are then paid for the amount of traffic that goes through it. Others are agents running on user's computers, I suspect at least some of these proxy providers aren't overly thorough about due diligence on how that agent got installed.
Well you can just buy a paper ticket then, as covered in the article.

I don’t think GP’s comment constitutes an official declaration from TfL. You’re free to continue living life the way you want.
The zone fairs aren't really distance based. The goal is to disincentivise core travel especially in peak, so it's actually cheaper (but of course slower) to skirt around the core when crossing London.

Suppose you enter at Upminster and leave at Moor Park, those are both in Zone 6. But by default the system will conclude that you probably passed through the core (Zone 1) since that's the obvious route and charge you for a journey using zones 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

If you're on a budget and no time constraint, you can travel to Barking, get out, touch the Pink validator, board a train to Gospel Oak, touch another Pink validator, and now finish your journey to Moor Park, and since you've avoided the core you're charged a significantly lower fare (but this takes much longer).

Before Oyster this couldn't work, you weren't allowed to travel on the cheap fare via the core, but there was no way to detect that you'd done it - the tickets don't know where they are, so people routinely did and may not even have realised what they were doing wasn't legal. But because Oyster (and thus also contactless fare system) knows the journey you made, it can conclude that (unless it saw you at the Pink validator on a different route) you went the obvious way and should be charged accordingly.

For most people this just made things slightly fairer. For a handful of people who liked cheap weird routes or are in no hurry it added a step (touching the pink validator).
Sure whatever, to be clear the RS-422 port on a Mac was a generic serial port not a MIDI port per se. If you were running a PC at the time you would often use the 9 or 25 pin RS-232 port for the same purpose (which is the same port used for a modem or some mice). A number of period devices would have a selector switch between RS-422 and RS-232 for a single 8 pin mini DIN input.

Very sorry to hear this Hackbraten. Wayland support has been gradually improving so you should be able to use an up-to-date version of 1Password in Wayland without these kinds of issues, although as with all things Wayland it also depends on your distro/WM/GPU. (I recently tested in Fedora 40, and I use 1Password in native Wayland mode on openSUSE Tumbleweed.)

I believe our clipboard integration still has an XWayland dependency, but you don't need to actually load into X11 to use it, just have it installed. We are currently working on better native clipboard support for Wayland in the arboard project. (Contributors are always welcome! https://github.com/1Password/arboard.)

Also if you ever feel like applying for that job, I'd love to have more people who are passionate about Linux on the team. :)

Physicist here. It highly depends on a bunch of factors (the type of qubits, the error correcting code, the error rate, the algorithm…), but a ballpark number for practical usefulness is 1 million physical qubits.

Keep in mind that qubit requirements keep tumbling down as people work hard to squeeze out as much as possible from a limited number of qubits.
For the past few years I've tried to buy socks, underwear and even T-shirts without any plastic in them.

Personally I don't think for-profit surgery, or for-profit medicine generally, is a legitimate business. It might open up as a possibility when every person has access to the medical care they need, but that seems far off.

Email spam is cheaper than news paper adverts, does that make it "legitimate"? Because that seems to be your argument here.
> The linked game is a dungeon crawler, not a blobber. A blobber implies that you control a party that acts as a single "blob" in game space - games like Might & Magic, Wizardry, Wizards & Warriors (the 2000 game) etc. are blobbers

And this game is also a blobber, including by that definition. Your party happens to have one member. But the game is clearly a blobber. You can do the same thing in Wizardry, it's just a bad idea.

By your definition, though, it would appear that virtually all JRPGs are "blobbers", which seems wrong to me.
This specific variant "LoRA+" described in this paper is even harder to search for. I was doing some research on this technique recently and it turns out that "Lora+" matches with "Lora" in Discord search, which is quite unhelpful. :)
Love it. SimAirport makes extensive use of flow fields -- they're one of the numerous different pathfinding/following systems we use in the game -- but a very important one as they obviously can scale extremely well with agent count.

In SimAirport they're used in a hierarchical way, primarily & specifically for "one level" of the game's overall hierarchical pathfinding systems (longer-distance paths), and they're critical to the game's ability to handle lots of agents.

Always love seeing your content here, Amit! :)
Yes. What is your point?
> the government's own investigations have consistently come to the conclusion that no extraterrestrial or physics-defying technologies are involved

I'm not sure if you've looked into the government's self investigations in the 70s regarding claims the CIA was experiment on their own populace where they also found no evidence. But 20 years later the CIA declassified those documents to show the CIA absolutely was dosing cities with LSD in the water supply.

My point being, the Department of Defense investigating itself is like letting a murderer run his own investigation.

"Conclusion
The RISC-V architecture was developed in classic startup/academic style: innovating quickly and avoiding too much investment in long-term engineering"

But this is not a conclusion in any sense.
This is the premise of the entire RISC-V project.
Because RISC-V is just an abstraction to teach and learn machine-level aspects of programming regardless of the specific processors available on the market.
Donald Knuth has the same, MMIX.
In addition it is difficult to say what innovations there may be in the RISС processor instruction system.

At least where I live, in Europe, fish oil is many times less expensive than bivalves, which are priced like luxury food.

Moreover, fish oil is much more convenient, because after I buy a liter, that is enough for more than 3 months, so I have to take care about this only very infrequently.

Bivalves can be stored only frozen and even in that case they occupy a huge volume in comparison with the equivalent amount of fish oil. They would also require additional time each day for preparation and cooking (even if that takes only a few minutes when done in a microwave oven). With cod liver oil or other fish oil, I just add a minute amount of it to the vegetable oil that I add to food anyway, so the extra time for it is just taking the bottle from the refrigerator and putting it back, which adds perhaps ten seconds to the cooking time.

When well prepared, bivalves are very tasty and healthy but they are not an optimal solution for ensuring an adequate daily intake of essential fatty acids, except perhaps in places on marine coasts, close to some farming site, where there might be possible to have continuous access to a guaranteed supply of cheap fresh bivalves.

I would rather not use fish oil, so as I have said, I am waiting for the production process for Schizochytrium oil to become more efficient, so that the premium price over fish oil will decrease enough. When I have tried for the first time Schizochytrium oil, a few years ago, it was at least eight times more expensive than fish oil. The last time when I have checked, it could be found (when searching enough) for as little as three times the price of fish oil (per its DHA+EPA content), so there is hope for a further price reduction.

>run it from a different circuit but the same utility power.

If you're going to come from a different circuit, see if you can at least pull it from a different phase, if we're talking a 120v circuit on 240v service (typical US home service). It's a small improvement, but I'd say 10%+ of the power outages I've seen have been just a single phase going out.
The next two steps beyond that are probably vector calculus and complex analysis. Check out Herb Gross's classic chalkboard lectures on the topic:

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/res-18-008-calculus-revisited-co...

When looking into simulations of physical systems, you'll run into partial differential equations, but be careful about learning resources that don't put numerical methods front and center. The article on Numerical Weather Prediction in the post has a good description:

> "Analytical solution of the equations is impossible, so approximate methods must be employed. We consider methods of discretizing the spatial domain to reduce
the PDEs to an algebraic system and of advancing the solution in time."

Given Python's popularity in scientific computing, a lot of the available materials on the topic are in that language, using libraries like numpy and scipy a lot. I've been playing around with custom ChatGPT here - you can construct a workflow that takes a description of a common equation, generates the LaTex expression for it, translates that to a sympy expression, and then from that generate the numerical method code using numpy and then the code to plot the behavior over a given range in matplotlib. Bonkers, we're living in the future.

Competent doctor told to rest. Left knee MRT showed a "stress break" (don't know correct terminology in English). Problem is there has been no stress for last 6-7 months apart from time I was trying to start running (ironic). Either it doesn't heal for half a year or it's something else. I also had to wear this cloth knee support thing for a couole of weeks after some extra long walking with friends, as the knee didn't like any load at all.

It's not over yet, there will be excercise, waiting in line for a specialist, but not walking/cycling/dancing/climbing, execises you do at home when you have an injury.

Anyway, I tried to exercise, I got an injury, and I felt worse than without exercise, cause something was taken away from me.

Being a bit old school and also unskilled at writing smartphone apps, wanted a universal control box for all kinds of homemade IOT things. It's just a dumb terminal that sends shaft encoder rotates/clicks to a server, and displays pixels sent to it. Based on an ESP-03 in a near ridiculous effort to use the minimum microcontroller to make this work. That also dates it. If I made this now it would have a better LCD than one of those old Nokia flip-phone ones.

> Out of curiosity as an adult how much category theory have you learned? Why aren't you doing more to find applications for the complex and abstract math? Don't you feel a duty and skill to advanced the state of play? Don't you feel an inherent gift and ability to do so? Why or why not?

I don’t enjoy math as a hobby (recreational math puzzles can be fun, but may as well just be Sudoku—I don’t like doing real math as a hobby). I feel dyslexic reading proofs and formulas—algorithms feel natural, I have to translate everything into those to make any sense of it and that’s painfully tedious.

The jobs I’ve had have never really needed it. I’ve seen people who go casting about for reasons to MATH mostly be frustrated and make things worse. Maybe like once every five years I’ve seen something come along that benefits from some not very advanced college level math and everyone in the team gets a little thrill that we have an excuse to use any of that even a very little bit for a day or two, and that’s that.

I’ve been measured in the top 1% of spatial reasoning ability which you’d think would make me suited to math, but I kinda hate it and don’t actually seem to have a knack for it, so instead I use that ability to skate by doing pretty damn OK for myself but without seeking out reasons to use math more—and, for something allegedly so ultra-useful, such reasons rarely manifest on their own. I dunno, show me the job and a big raise first and I might brush back up, but I’m not gonna do something I find about as fun as pulling floor staples simply out of some sense of duty (duty to… do what? Do more math? Why? I want the motivation first, I’m not interested in forcing it)

> Why would I want/need this?

always, golang is overly opinionated regarding where modules and binaries are stored. I don't like that and I've blown my local development environment into pieces because of that (looking at you GRPC, yikes)

But also, imagine that you, like me, need to test Python, Java+Kotlin+Gradle and NodeJS+Angular stuff. Do you really want to install _all that_ natively ? Just for a couple of merge reviews, and even if not, do you _really_ want to install all that natively ? The answer is always, IMHO, a resounding and clear no.

Is it strange? I'd say it's fair to assume that potential alien visitors would want their existence to be hidden, or at least not known to the broad population[1]. Working under that assumption, isn't that exactly the behavior you'd expect?

It would be incredibly unlikely for humanity to be the first civilization potential aliens make contact with. They'd probably have a lot of knowledge about interactions with lesser developed civilizations, which would inform the risk they can take based on the developments made. A civilization without broadly available personal cameras would logically allow for much closer interactions.

Let me just add that I don't believe the sightings are real, and I don't believe aliens are visiting earth - I just really dislike using faulty logic to "disprove" this stuff.

[1]: If potential alien visitors wanted their existence to be widely known, it would be easy to do so through conventional news mechanisms (e.g. media or politicians). Since that hasn't happened it leaves two options: there are no alien visitors (the incredibly likely solution), or they exist and want to stay hidden, for whatever reason that may be.
This sounds like the perfect case for crowd founding. The community would likely support it. I bet some industry partners would support it. If you had a reasonable team capable throw it up there. $1M means 3 people at $330k, that seems feasible.

Although public transport always caters for paying in numerous ways, it can be hard to get people to change habits and it can be hard to get new customers to pay the 'easy' way. If you don't get a bus very often and don't have cash on your person, it can be worrying or slightly intimidating even if you just have to tap in and tap out. Plus you have to link a payment card to your phone.
