I have the same struggle figuring what the author wants to say about this. The difference between a soft delete and a lifecycle, in the context of the article, is just semantic.

Is it a few decades from 1980 or a few decades from 2024?

Alarmist statements hurt more than they help fight human caused climate change.
The point I was making was that nuclear doesn't help. Germany is dependent on fossil fuels, and nuclear is not a drop-in, equal cost replacement for fossil fuels.

For Germany to be saved from this fate by nuclear, nuclear has to be as cheap as solar is in the best locations in the world, not just better than solar in Germany.

Germany (and Europe) should probably be putting more money into CO2 sequestration, so they can keep burning fossil fuels.
My wife and I drove I-80 east to New York from the western states in 2010. When we arrived in Iowa there was a sign for a Welcome Center (typical when crossing state lines on interstate highways in the US). The signs promised free wifi. How nice, we thought. We followed the signs and they wound us deep, deep, deep, back into a field of corn. It got quieter and quieter. Nothing but the rumble of my 1999 CR-V's engine and the whispering of the wind through the corn. My wife (hailing from the Bay Area) kept saying, "This feels sketchy. This is hella sketchy. Dude, we're gonna get shot."

We got to the Welcome Center. It was abandoned. Windows were broken. The parking lot was in disrepair. It was completely encapsulated in corn. It looked like a great place for a young couple to get murdered by a serial killer in a corn field. There was absolutely no wifi. I've never left a Welcome Center in such a hurry.
This seems like a theoretical modelling paper (all of its figures are simulations?) that contains as far as I can read 3 (!) actual experimental measurements in bulk on a fluorospectrophotometer. The claim is that the increased fluorescent quantum yield (QY) of microtubules over tubulin can be explained by the ideas in their simulations.

It's hard to buy that their proposed stories are the simplest explanation for these few measurements. Much more boring phenomena can influence QY. e.g. simply occluding fluorophores from the bulk solvent can have a huge influence on QY.

This is exactly what we're dealing with on top of shipping new features. An architectural decision that got changed 6 months later so the code had to be thrown out and re-written.

I would of preferred this as a stand alone electron app. I don't feel comfortable with giving a random extension the power to control my entire browser, particularly in a work environment.

The important thing in that paper is not "quantum", but the claim that internal data transmission by light within neural systems is a thing. The paper cites this result on ultra-weak light emissions from neurons.[1] The paper is behind Elsevier's paywall.

So the paper then takes data transmission by light as a given, and goes on to hypothesize structures that direct light as fiber optics do, and from there goes on to "ultrafast" data transmission.

Comments from biochemistry people would help here. It's not at all clear what's an actual result and what's hand-waving. However, it is clear that this is an area where experimentation is possible. Further work should move this out of the range of speculation and either confirm or dismiss it.

I am surprised the article didn’t mention the obvious fix soft deletes potential performance issues - have a job run regularly that archives soft deleted data older than X units of time.

This allows for undoing a soft delete and gets rid of soft deleted rows eventually.
The objects are so bright and so numerous that they corrupt an entire imagers data for the entire exposure. In a CCD rows and columns can become saturated and hot pixels can spill over into neighboring pixels (blooming). When the imagers for the LSST were being designed, it was not anticipated that they would have to deal with tens of thousands of hot fast moving objects.

no one wants to hear this but the FCC is effectively a non-agency, a cheerleader for good things that align with an administrations priorities in an election year at best. Verizon, Charter, and ATT all represent more than 250 billion USD in revenue.

If your fines all cap out before 100 million dollars, its just the cost of doing business for them. If youre unwilling to suspend or revoke a license, then your threats of enforcement are toothless.

taxes for these agencies are four billion dollars a year. 100 million isnt even half a percent of that. Its a rounding error at best and they can afford to eat that fee until the last star falls from the heavens.

This is great news. Lots of advocacy went into it and I’m grateful for it.

I’d like to see it codified into law so it isn’t easy to tamper with again.
Thank you for your message and pointing it out! I think it needs some clarification (I will update the documentations as well). The classification algorithm that you mentioned is SEFR, which is energy-efficient, but not as accurate as other algorithms. LinearBoost is the boosted version of SEFR, and it has superior F1 in 5 benchmark datasets over GBDTs. So, SEFR to LinearBoost is somehow like Decision Tree to CatBoost. SEFR is fast, and by boosting SEFR, we have LinearBoost which is slower but accurate. The results will be provided as a paper, but now, they are in the GitHub Repository's README file.
Post author here. To be fair, we specifically don't use std::ranges because of that "N Pythagorean triple" problem. We have our own custom library that is vastly superior to std::ranges. See e.g. here for context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7ntC-Y1syY

I was recently appointed co-chair for the std::ranges group and I'm trying to bring some of the improvements to C++.
> Most languages (including Python, AFAIK) unwind the stack when an exception is thrown, all the way up to the nearest catch.

You might have to use a few tricks/hacks, but I'm pretty sure you can set up python in a way to breakpoint at an exception, including all local state at the throw site. Otherwise pdb would not work.

Countries where health regulation is less developed are likely to see misrepresentation where this form of MRI will be equated to full-field MRI by snake oil salesmen.
Second sample has significant hi-hat style sustain, since I know it is hot water it should be a steam. First sample has really little amount of this sound which might be produced from bubbles. First sample is really interesting because it has 2 bass lines: first starts at 900Hz and rising to 100Hz, second starts at 600Hz and quickly dropping to 400Hz and keep lowering slowly to 300Hz. Definitely not harmonicas, it is something like 2 independent resonating frequencies for something inside of glass-and-water sound source. Bassline of second sound is singular fat line; firstly it starts at 700Hz and slowly grows upto 1kHz.

Probably the 2 basslines from the first samples (cold) was something that bothered the dog, maybe the thing is in rich sound such as chord vs single note. I don't care about bubbles but when I will have an access to a nice microphone I will try to record more samples of this. The hard part is how to remove water from the glass between 2 or more experiments because it is important to have really similar setups without moving the glass even slightly.
Well, they cared enough to use the app. Doesn't that count for something?
I have talked to people in Japan that feel similarly. Some have jokingly said that old people should commit seppuku, but even if they did, old people and their disposable income are a huge driver of the economy, and having a whole generation with little money is a cascading disaster waiting to happen. This is a problem all aging countries will probably encounter, but it will hit those with "lost generations" especially hard.
Most people in every society want to increase their social status. The metrics vary by society — could be dollars or touchdowns or wooly mammoth meat quantity — but this is nearly universal. And in a closed society this is essentially a zero sum game: in order for someone to rise in status someone else must fall. Whether this competition is "healthy" for people or society is irrelevant since it's not going to change.

Given that CO2 emissions have only ever increased, it seems like everything hurts more than helps the fight against climate change. For what it’s worth, I’m reasonably convinced that the answer is 1980 and that, like a lethal dose of radiation, the damage is done and now we merely wait for the effects to take hold fully.
Yes, but sadly I have to use Boost.Spirit at work :(

It’s grim, but he had renal failure requiring an operation in 2018 and then back into renal failure causing congestive heart failure in 2023.

It’s very possible for him to have the cleanest bill of health he’s had in 6 months or a couple of years, while still dying.

I suspect that unwinding whether his death is related to the transplant or not is non-trivial. He had a few issues that would likely kill him soon. Figuring out which one did, and whether it was caused by the transplant, may be difficult.
With a voxel size of 2x2x8mm^3, this would do what X-rays/CT's do now, and a bit more (but likely not replace high-energy MRI's? I'm not understanding how they rival high-energy accuracy in-silico, but that's how the paper's written)

In the acute setting, faster and more ergonomic imaging could be big. E.g., in a purpose-build brain device, if first responders had a machine that tells hemorrhagic vs ischemic stroke, it would be easier to get within the tPA time window. If it included the neck, you could assess brain and spine trauma before transport (and plan immobilization accordingly).

There is a ton of code out there for pretty much any task you want.

I have the 16 bit successor, the 65816, on a variable speed expansion card in my Apple 2. I run it in 8 bit mode most of the time mostly because it works and most library code is 8 bit.

At those speeds, the chip is fast! Especially when one considers the simple model: ram clocked 1:1 with the cpu. In my case, I can run code over the 1Mhz bus, essentially turning most multi cycle ops into a single bus cycle per memory fetch.

Or, the card has a megabyte of RAM and that runs at CPU speed. (0.15 to 16 Mhz) When doing that, it is fast enough to run large programs, written in higher level languages, at a useful speed. Of course Assembly language is crazy fast.

It is a pretty fun environment to hack around in.
I mean, if a robot told you to do it, then I would be inclined to argue that it’s _not a gesture.

> People just like that you think about them.

Indeed. The trouble here is that this rather seems like a _substitute_ for thinking about them.
16 registers * 32 bits * 4 transistors / cell = 2k transistors just for storing the bits alone, and that's not including the decoding and read/write circuitry.
While I feel in general most modern art is BS (ie. I went to a Mark Rothko exhibition in Paris recently and still don't 'get' it, that godly color theory application or whatnot) I do feel some of the turn of the 20th century stuff fascinating and highly creative - folks like Klimt for instance.

The way I think of it is taking the neurosis of the human mind and putting it out on a medium in all its glory. I don't have a deep knowledge of art history though so I'm not sure if there is much of a prior, I just am aware of the bigger movements.

I don't think we know what's in the black box here. It could be an equivalent relatively unopinionated regularizer ("the pixel domain will be locally smooth, to the extent it has edges they're spatially contiguous") or it could be "just look up the most similar image from a library and present that instead" or anywhere in between. :)
When .NET (that is, what became CoreCLR runtime flavour) was open-sourced, it was done in such a way as not to cause issues for existing Mono, Xamarin and Unity code, and allow cleanly merging the first two into overarching .NET ecosystem.

I’d say yes. We are all flawed. It’s not because you are busy or because your brain is tired that you don’t love your partner.

Being spontaneous requires energy. A lot of people lack energy but still loves their partner.

We're insignificant now. If we develop interstellar travel, we could start to become significant if we the visit/colonize the rest of the galaxy. Of course, even if we do fill up the galaxy, our galaxy is only a small sliver of the observable universe, so we'd have to move on to other galaxies. Not as crazy as it might sound, if given we would have the tech for interstellar travel, as intergalactic distances are only ~3 magnitudes off the span of a galaxy. e.g. Milky Way spans ~30k light years, Andromeda is ~3m light years away, 100 times. The leap from short hops of a couple light years to galaxy-wide distances is greater (Proxima Centauri is ~3 ly, vs. 30k light years = 5 orders of magnitude). Which is comparable to the jump from interplanetary to interstellar distances distances, which is about 4 orders of magnitude.

So if we can reach the edges of the Milky Way, other galaxies should be within reach. But doing that before the Heat Death/Big Rip/etc. might be a challenge.
Oh, that's just a side effect of the way the work is distributed :D I'm hired to maintain our core libraries and general C++ stuff, and I write most of the blog articles, so it's about the problems I face in my everday work.

We should blog more about the other stuff. For example, we've implemented a pretty cool lossless compression scheme for the preview of powerpoint slides in search, and have acquiried a cool technology to search for existing slides by drawing a sketch of their layout. But the people working on that are too busy to blog about them...
Most 20th century cultures are only a temporary thing because they lead to sub-replacement birth rates. Unless humanity is completely wiped out, natural selection will eventually see those cultures replaced by cultures where people for whatever reason have more children. But it'll probably be a painful transition to that new equilibrium.
What's the right way to fix that problem? :)
What "other problems in that relationship" do you think they might have?

Doing little surprises for someone, texting them to wish them a good day, etc, is a form of signalling. People like it because they know that you are thinking about them randomly, and that you care how they're doing. If you're simply using an app reminder to do stuff in order to grind relationship points, it has a completely different meaning.
Office problems:

- Noisy and interruption-prone due to poor interior design and open office style

- Lack of privacy also due to open office design

- Lack of amenities I have at home

- Lack of availability of video conference rooms

- Hot desking takes more time, is unpredictable, and people leave trash, junk, dirt, and reconfigure monitors oddly without putting them back

- Quality of meal and other office perks aren't all that good, and got worse with the shrinkflation and layoffs

> This concerns the “macroeconomic slide,” introduced as part of the 2004 reform of the public pension system. The macroeconomic slide is an indexing mechanism that automatically limits total payouts of retirement benefits to keep them in balance with revenue from contributions (supplemented by fiscal subsidies), even while the contribution rate of working people is held to a legal ceiling.

In other words, the pension system was designed as pay as you go. Pay as you go system doesn't do very well with a decreasing working population because it relies on the current working generation paying for the previous generation.
