I believe you might be confusing the QED calculations of hydrogen with those of the electron g-factor. Just have a look into the paper I linked (section VII). Most of the QED corrections are given analytically, no computers involved at all. You could in principle calculate this with pen-and-paper (and a good enough table of transcendental functions).

The most accurate hydrogen spectroscopy (of the 1S-2S transition) has reached a relative accuracy of a few parts in 1E15 which is around an order of magnitude above the precision of FP64 numbers.
My guess is that M4 and forwards will not be so much about CPU and GPU performance but have some sort of local LLM in ROM. So every year you should upgrade to get the best hardware LLM ever released.

Soapbox next to your soapbox: GA planes are old specifically because of the FAA and their overly restrictive regulations. The cost involved to create an AoA sensor & readout is minimal and at least one company has done it with an IMU only. The cost to certify, sell, and install an AoA sensor (in terms of both money and time waiting to get on the schedule of an FAA-blessed installer) is more than most people find it to be worth. Food for thought: this also applies to shoulder harnesses in many cases.

Aviation could be cheaper, safer, and better in general if the FAA was not stuck in the 60s.
For as much improvement as there has been with what can be distributed via PyPI, there are still some domains that have gnarlier dependencies than wheels happily handle alone, and you either need to reach for the system package manager (and loose the ability to really control the dependency environment from that mismatch), or take advantage of the Conda ecosystem.

My org does a lot of work combining machine learning with oceanographic and climate modeling, which are both domains that have deep dependency chains that don't always mesh well, especially as our researchers mix in R and other languages as the same time, and the Conda ecosystem helps us a ton with that, but there are issues that `conda` and `mamba` don't help us out with.

Pixi takes a swing at some of what the Conda ecosystem hasn't been great at (at least without a lot of manual custom ceremony) that Cargo, Poetry, Pipenv, PDM, and other dependency and workflow management tools have demonstrated can be done such as lock files, cross platform dependency management, task running, and defining multiple related environments.

What's really cool when you have a mix of projects, Pixi can work almost entirely PyPI native out of a `pyproject.toml`, other than installing Python from Conda-Forge, so you can mix and match environments but stay with the same tool. https://prefix.dev/blog/using_python_projects_with_pixi docs: https://pixi.sh/latest/advanced/pyproject_toml/
Not only that but I think there’s also a meaningful quality to living in a society with excessive avoidable deaths. I personally think it contributes to a “shields up, guard up” culture that I’ve experienced and found exhausting.
In this case its Munich I think based on previous comments. Also, in India things depend on who you hire and how much you're willing to pay (like everywhere else). If you pay a salary you expect in rural Alabama in the Bay Area for a tech job you'll attract shitty devs as well.

You comment isn't wrong. I've observed the same thing but only when things get outsourced to low cost consulting shops. If Google pays decently in India (which I think they do), they'll get much better devs. There's a pretty strong start-up ecosystem and dev culture but as with everything you need to pay good $$ - as in not 10% of bay area pay but closer to 60-70% of it to attract top talent.
I disagree about having PR other than on the entity’s own website, newsletters and such. There is nothing parallel-universe about that.
> the application itself has thousands of not millions of allocated objects for everything from UI elements to WordArt

There are ways to optimize those things, though, which developers might not be bothering with anymore. The Design Patterns book used a word processor as the example when explaining the flyweight pattern for efficiently representing lots of objects. OLE objects like WordArt support different states[0] and don't necessarily have to be active at all times.

The published speed is at maximum takeoff weight, with the most unfavourable center of gravity (usually most forward) and idle power

If the conditions are better (not at max weight, rear center of gravity, engine power adding more airflow over the wings) you can fly below the published stall speed number.
That seems strange to me. Why would they not simply take off the life jacket and swim out?

It's not the point of open source, but it is an argument in favor. It's also been pretty thoroughly debunked. Vulnerabilities rates are comparable between open source and proprietary software.

Very little open source code is carefully audited, and the availability of source code also benefits bad actors.

I'm a huge proponent of open source, but security just isn't a strong argument.

The BRICS currency does not have a "reserve currency". You are thinking in terms of existing currency structures, where a single currency is treated with more importance that other currencies. The BRICS currency itself, is a derivative of the currencies and economies of the member countries.

In the article, I present the formula for the calculation of the supply of the BRICS currency:

`M = ForT + FDI + PI + ForEx + G&EX + InterSec + Der + ForDeposit + EuroCurrency + MTransfer + Etc.`

Each component in this formula represents a key economic indicator:

- `ForT`: Foreign Trade, encompassing the total value of exports and imports between the BRICS nations and the rest of the world.

- `FDI`: Foreign Direct Investment, capturing the inflow and outflow of investment capital.

- `PI`: Portfolio Investment, including investments in stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments.

- `ForEx`: Foreign Exchange Transactions, representing the volume of currency exchanges.

- `G&EX`: Gold and Foreign Exchange Reserves, a crucial component that partially backs the value of the BRICS currency with an asset holding intrinsic value - gold.

- `InterSec`: International Securities, such as bonds issued by BRICS nations in international markets.

- `Der`: Derivatives, financial contracts deriving their value from underlying assets or benchmarks.

- `ForDeposit`: Foreign Deposits, the total value of BRICS currency held in foreign accounts.

- `EuroCurrency`: Eurocurrency Market Operations, capturing the BRICS nations' activities in other currency markets.

- `MTransfer`: International Money Transfers, the flow of funds between the BRICS and other nations.

- `Etc.`: Other relevant economic indicators as needed. The article doesn't develop on the specifics, but you can imagine one of those factors as being the country's Bitcoin reserves.

As such, the supply is algorithmic (akin to UniswapV2's approach of`x*y=k`) and the formul aims to create a BRICS currency supply that dynamically responds to the collective economic state of the member nations

Huh yeah I guess I need to learn more. My layman’s assumption was that it would help with a lot of NP problems that involved recursion or backtracking algorithm would benefit from it. From some quick googling it seems like they have already designed QC algorithms for traveling salesman etc. Isn’t that sort of meaningful or am I missing something?

I could totally see the argument that they are physically impractical and therefore not likely to be actually used vs parallelizing conventional computers.
Speaking of the Mac Studio M4, Apple is considering having it support up to a half-terabyte of memory. In comparison, the existing Mac Studio and Mac Pro top out at 192GB of unified memory (RAM).

Thanks for mentioning nasm.

Both GNU assembler and LLVM integrate assembler parse and match instructions only once.
hey then store an internal representation in memory and perform fixed-point iteration.
The section/fragment representation gives a lot of flexibility.

In contrast, nasm parses and matches instructions multiple times depending on the optimization level. It also assigns addresses during parsing and uses an ad-hoc method for JMP/JCC instructions. The end conditions of the fixed-point iteration algorithm (global_offset_changed and stall_count) seem unconventional.

Really sucks that this was plagiarized. I love commenting on these stories.

I've been the youngest engineer on the teams I've worked with for practically my entire career. Early into my career, I got a front row seat to see snippets of how my peers with children lived, such as:

- Absolutely zero control over one's sleep schedule for many, many years

- Zero alone or solo time for many, many years

- For many couples, zero or little intimacy for years

- Lots and lots and lots of crying, then crying and screaming, then screaming, then tantrum-ing

- Unbelievable amounts of repetition and transpiling gibberish to English

- Absolutely everything about childrens' shows (children can watch the same movie 100 times, from what I've observed)

- Career sacrifices, such as having to work at companies and/or living in locations you'd prefer to not be working or living in

- Society type-casting women into motherly roles while "men being men" is generally acceptable

Given all this, I knew from very early on (20s) that I did not want children. I was very (very!) lucky to find a partner who held the same beliefs.

We are in our late 30s now and are still strongly committed to this decision.

HOWEVER, there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting kids if both partners really, really want them AND know what they're signing up for!

From what I've seen, raising kids requires levels of selflessness and patience that are almost supernatural, and it's essentially a lifelong job (especially when the children beget grandchildren, and, given the state of affairs, will definitely need a hand while they work since daycare is all but unaffordable for most).

One thing that's annoying about parenthood being the default is that core working hours at many companies are structured around children, especially with the pervasiveness of working from home. Being online at 7am is perfectly acceptable, for example.

This isn't great if you, say, want to start your day at 11am because waking up at 8am or later is no big deal. I understand why it is the way it is, but it's still annoying.
I have too many things to do in my life and too little time to do it in. For my personal stuff, I'm fine with fully automated key rotation but I'm not going to do it manually, just as I don't rotate my SSH keys. (For businesses, yes, it makes sense.)

Radical has all the wrong implications. It's a "major alteration" in a regulatory sense, done from an approved kit of parts, with a very well documented installation and post-installation operation and maintenance procedures.

The aircraft was modified with a Robertson STOL kit. A common type of modification to make to a "bush aircraft". In the USA the modification is covered by an STC (Supplemental Type Certificate), the installation needs to be supervised and approved by an A&P technician with IA (Inspection Authority). The STC will modify the airspeed indicator markings, including the stall speed markings (bottom of green and white arcs), and modify the approved flight manual/pilot operating handbook and maintenance documentation for the aircraft. Since this is a major alteration (in a 14CFR regulatory sense) that modifies the flight characteristics of the aircraft it needs to be test flown after the work, and the STC will also separately requires this. I expect/hope the STC includes instructions for checking stall characteristics including airspeed. In European countries a similar level of regulation/documentation is followed based on the USA STC.

Give the description of the pilot's sad lack of understanding of basic operation of the aircraft I am doubting they even read the pilot operating handbook.
Very bad modification. And wrong (but natural) response from the pilot trying to pick up the dropping wing with aileron input. That would have made the asymmetric stall worse.
I don't think so. I think M4 was planned years in advance to debut around this time. You can't change this stuff in a few months.
It was the pilot who believed this Cessna "never stalled". And so he did not recognize and had no idea what to do when it did.
> In the case of tractors for instance, wearing a seatbelt is downright dangerous. You cannot jump out then, and will be killed by a tractor if it flips.

The "proper" solution would be to have a rollcage so that even a flipped tractor does not crush its occupants. Not having a roll cage (presumably to save $) is a result of weaker/less mandated safety procedures already. Cars have a roof crush test. The solution isn't "jump out when big machine starts tipping", it's "protect the humans in the machine".

I will refer you to my comment above. The BRICS currency does not have a "reserve" currency, and as such the Ruble is not a reserve currency. A more correct way of thinking is of economic health of the Russian Federation and other member countries is used a "collateral" for the BRICS currency. The "economic health" is defined by algorithmically through a formula. You can find the formula in my comment above and of course in the article.
It's amazing how much work they've put into creating this quite unique configuration just to find out the stall behaviour.
From my experience, the number of chances you have is not the limiting factor in life. I see people making the same kind of mistakes over and over again. The problem is often the pattern of reaction to externalities. The pattern is then the problem, and it is very hard to break habits.
In this case there does not appear to be any public evidence that they did much testing in below freezing temperatures. This isn't to say that they couldn't do the testing, just that they didn't do it because the mission parameters did not require it. There don't seem to have been many "ongoing experiment" type sensors on the lander which would be significantly useful to keep going longer than the initial mission.

As for radiation, I attended a lecture series last year about the various kinds of radiation testing involved in designing hardware for satellites, they probably did do similar things to those for satellite electronics (stuff like firing beams of IIRC electrons over the PCBs to see what parts might need reinforcement/redundancy against random charged particle strikes).
Thank you for the question. It really needs an explanation.

Times have changed. While there are significantly more open-source projects, online communities, and all kinds of available help than ever before, the proportion of active contributors relative to the number of people online has decreased. Consequently, the time required for each volunteer to process input for a project like a "webring" has increased significantly.

I also feel that it's become harder to motivate people, but not because they've become lazier. Rather, the tasks have become more demanding, so "nobody seems to have the time for them anymore".
When you can go in any direction and not just constrained to up down left right, you'd want the fast marching method [1].

I don't really disagree with anything you're saying, except to say that, yes, the situation in the US is completely different than Europe, and nearly every time I comment about this situation, everyone who says they don't understand is European.

The fact of the matter is that in the US, especially for specific socioeconomic groups, iOS is by far the dominant platform, and for many people since iMessage is the default, their definition of "texting" is simply iMessage. You state, "it's baffling to me that your friend group wouldn't simply switch to a messaging app with good group chat support" - except that completely ignores network effects, and many times I am literally the only person on Android. If I'm, say, going on a vacation with friends and literally 10 of them are on iOS and I'm the only one on Android, it's a losing battle to try to convince the other 9 to switch, especially since nearly all of their other contacts are on iOS/iMessage. A restaurant in Austin, TX, famous for their funny signs, even had a joke about it: https://www.instagram.com/p/CwLKeGRLieb

The reason the situation in Europe is different is primarily due to 2 factors:

1. iOS was never as dominant in the EU as the US

2. Perhaps more importantly, what is often forgotten is that in the EU and elsewhere about ~15 years ago, per-SMS rates from telecoms were egregiously expensive, while in the US by that time they were mostly unlimited with a flat monthly rate. So there was never a huge drive to get off SMS in the US (this is why WhatsApp first took off much faster outside the US than within it). In a pretty brilliant "Embrace/Extend/Extinguish" move, iMessage initially simply because the default SMS app on iPhone. Users never really "picked" any messaging app, they just continued to use the "texting app" that had always been on their phones.

It is impossible to think otherwise, unless you are being totalitarian about the sovereignty of the Palestine/Israel territory in a _very_ hard-right mindset.

The problem is that companies will simply change the countries they incorporate in. Will SAP be tariffed for hiring Germans (where the company is based) rather than Americans? If not, you are giving SAP an unfair advantage over its American competitor.

Not a question but a suggestion. You should also do a similar article for the 8061 series processor. This was a special processor used at least in the Ford EEC-IV (Fox body Mustangs, 1990s F-150s, etc), notable for its very wacky "M-BUS" memory bus. They wanted to conserve pins (I guess for more GPIO) so they replaced the normal bus with a bidirectional 8-bit bus, with a couple registers set in the memory chip which represent the data pointer or program counter. At any point the processor can request data from either of those two pointers with a couple dedicated signals STB, IT, and DI, and the program counter pointer is supposed to auto-increment.

The whole thing is a very complex pair of state machines and it'd be interesting to go over the protocol. It's been documented in a difficult-to-read Ford programmers guide, but largely unheard of otherwise.
I'm not interested in the economic health of Russian Federation which is a fascist state with a maniac running it. That's why I'd say anyone sane should be against any projects like BRICS too.
I would argue that a pile of textiles might be slightly less toxic. But yes, obviously we can’t just dump everything into the ground and ignore the problem.
