> there is no reason to say that quantum entities are ever really waves

I'm on the completely opposite end of the spectrum. I see no reason to say that quantum entities are ever really pointlike particles.

I'd rather see them as smeared wave-like entities that occasionally rapidly reshape while exchanging energy and momentum through fields as if the were two small billiard balls bouncing.

There's really nothing particle-like about those quantum objects apart from this momentum and energy exchanges (and even that is weird because it's quantized) and that evolution of their center of mass in time seems like a thing flying in space according to Newtonian dynamics.

We draw our simplest intuitions from macroscopic objects that are built of huge number of actual elemental material objects so tightly bound with one another that they are barely smeared.

It's not an accident that macroscopic object obeys the same equations that a tight quantum objects obey.

But it's a huge mistake to think that those equations that we wrote for this very bizarre state of matter that are macroscopic objects is anything primary just because the math describing them is as simple as it goes.

Take a look at ideal gas equations about pressure volume and temperature. They are childishly simple when compared to the math you'd need to accurately describe what actually happens in a gas.

Framing quantum mechanics in terms of "observation" instead of "instance of momentum and energy exchange" might be a very computationally convenient interpretation of what happens but I don't think it's real in any sense of the word.

In broader context we have very many interpretations in physics l that are the simplest possible interpretations of the mathematical abstractions of our models. With complete disregard for how sensible they seem. Even though there are completely reasonable alternative interpretations of the same math available.

Physics educators seem to delight in the quirkiness of the interpretations that theoretical physicists love because they are just their equations narrated, nothing more, nothing less, instead of exploring more reasonable interpretations or even mention that they exist.

In absence of new math, bringing new insights to our fundamental knowledge, one of the goals of physics should be to get real. New, or old but rekindled, more plausible interpretations might inspire new generations of young physicists to visit avenues less explored. Because abstract narratives we globally adopted failed to do that for many decades already.

As not Chinese, I never heard about this website. But here is my tldr based on reading the page through Google translate:

linux.cn was a personal initiative, globally a one man shop that became too big. His goal was to advance the community but not do a commercial business.

Nowadays Linux and open source are well known and leaving by themselves. Not so many persons are motivated to contribute anymore and so the single activity was creating posts based on chatgpt translation of English articles (personal comment, I don't think that the content interest was that great based on that). So in the end, as often, the editor finished in burned out as being jobless at the same time and just decided to stop working on that and going on with his life.

To be noted the guy looks great as he preferred not sell his domain name/site to crappy buyers for moral reasons and not getting a very good cash payment

So, for example, if a business sends SiFive $100K and a copy of OpenRISC, they would receive ~300 chips that could then be used in a commercial product?

If a business then wants to order another 300 chips (or more), would they only need to pay SiFive the $30K? Does the $30K price fluctuate? Does E31 core have an end of life? In the event that EOL is reached, or SiFive ceases to exist, can the business make these chips somewhere else or are they screwed?

This is reasonable, but a bit unfortunate specifically for TCP/UDP. The extremely strong convention is that all network protocols are "network byte format" which is Big-Endian.

Obviously no issue for local IPC, but when things become published network protocols, little-endian makes me sad.

i like debugging too. the problem is, when it's unfamiliar tech then it can take some time to get familiar with it. but i found that when i was unable to find a solution, i was to embarrassed to ask to get paid, so i realized that "no fix, no fee" is ok for me. i just have to estimate the risk involved. how much time can i afford to work on this problem if i don't get paid. in part that is influenced by how much i am interested in learning that tech.
This. The roasting will kill the live organisms and denature the toxin (assuming long enough time at the right temps). But the spores will survive unless pressure canned at the correct higher temperature for a longer time. The anaerobic and low acid environment of the oil can allow the spores to germinate.

Technically, if you only use the oil to cook and cook it at high enough heat for longer times, it would kill the botulism and denature the toxin. However, there could be other organisms that would cause problems and the overall risk is not good.

More industry experience in real world would've made it clear that they're totally useless for datacenters where there are rarely power outages with many 9's of electrical uptime measured in months or years.

UPSes and BBWC evolved to bring reliability to production gear running in non-DC environments when mainline servers used spinning rust without backup power. Today, it's largely a vendor up-charge.

Write barriers cause far too much latency in practice on servers in tier IV datacenters, so they're almost always turned off except for a tiny fraction of systems.

There has never been a "perfect" or a universal solution, only a risk budget and suitability for a specific use-case.
My company heavily relies on Amazon SQS for background jobs. We use Redis as well but it is hard to run at scale. Hence, anything critical goes to SQS by default. SQS usage is so ubiquitous I can’t imagine anyone be interested in writing a blog post or presenting on a conference. Once you get used to SQS specifics (more than once delivery, message size limit, client/server tooling built, expiration settings, DLQ) I doubt there’s anything that can beat it in terms of performance/reliability Unless you have resources to run Redis/Kafka/etc yourself. I would recommend searching for talks by Shopify eng folks on their experience, in particular from Kir (e.g. https://kirshatrov.com/posts/state-of-background-jobs)

But if the representatives are chosen by the, presumably, democratically elected governments how are they "anti-democratic". Unless representative democracies are inherently undemocratic (and therefore most European government themselves undemocratic), I fail to see how this can be described as "anti-democratic".

In basically every democracy there is a way for the elected representatives to push through legislation which is unpopular or only supported by a small portion of the population. But this is an intentional feature.

1. You can only go forward in time to varying degrees, never back.

2. Like I said above, we are technically always varying our speed through time. It's just that the effect is difficult to notice because the size of the effect is small.

To add from my experience, some customers just want the pricing to do comparison shopping, justify their bespoke system development efforts, or just to know what is happening in the market. I have had a situation where I didn't offer pricing as the lead was really not the right fit; they went ahead and complained directly to my higher management. Luckily, I had already marked the lead as closed in my CRM with the required explanation and my reporting manager had faith in me.

Yes, some of the parties did. In Sweden for example, the government parties just decided to greenlight the EU proposal that is up for vote now, even though their EU parliament representatives (from the same parties) had said before the recent EU election that they were against it (they even celebrated publicly last autumn when the proposal was downvoted last time). It's a mess trying to keep track of the party politics to be fair and it's possible the EU parliament members are voting in one way while their "mother party" in the home land votes in another way. But it did feel like a rug pull here.
This is why I stopped using FreeCAD and embraced OpenSCAD, which works great for my use cases.
At some point, you need to interact with something that looks like I/O or an external service. Not handling failures from them is a source of a lot of bugs.

Even if pushed to the periphery, how do you test the wrapper you built to hide these failures from the rest of your code base? If you don’t hide these failures in some wrapper, how do you test that your system handles them properly?
Show HN: Mu – A Muslim focused superapp
Hey all

Tried posting this before I don't think I was really specific enough. Mu is a new Muslim app platform I'm working on. It's based on years of frustration with the app ecosystem and the feeling that so much of what's created is with addictive or bad tendencies. A lot of the internet is just not made for a simpler more holistic lifestyle. I've always been cautious not to push my religious choice on people and tried to genera-size my method of promoting this way of life. Now though I think its probably better to embrace it and cater to the audience that might be most interested. Mu is an attempt to create simpler smaller apps more inline with my daily habits and that which will stop us from using the internet for things that will not benefit us. I'm calling Mu, the building blocks for life. Some of it will be relevant to others like chat with AI or news feed but then there's also prayer times, the quran in English, etc. Being Muslim isn't exclusive, it's about a way of life more inline with what we're here for. And the only way I could think to rectify my own online habits was to create a place that forces me to do it.

Feedback welcome!
Do these higher order derivatives say anything meaningful?

I always got the sense from physics that outside of purely mathematical constructions such as Taylor series, higher order time derivatives aren't providing much interesting information. Though I'm not sure whether this is the inherent laziness of physicist math[1] or a property of the forces in nature.

[1] since e^x = 1 + x is generally true, why'd you even need a second order derivative

I lived in the Yukon for 4 years, would drive many hours due south to get to the capital of Alaska.

I met dozens of people that had off-grid houses powered entirely by solar. Remember the sun is up for 20+ hours a day in summer. In winter they had to be careful, but the had full houses with washing machines, fridges, etc. etc.

This was in 2015 when people had lead acid batteries and only a few kW of panels. I bet it's much more common now.
