> start prepping for accepting of loss of life

If they knew it was going to hit, but not be an extinction event, maybe that makes some sense but realistically what kind of "prepping" can reasonably be done? Stock up on toilet paper?

If they knew it was going to hit and incinerate the surface of the earth, would they even say anything? Why create worldwide panic for no purpose?
> Haven’t we basically proven that even horizon is real?

No. All we have shown is that there are compact regions in our universe that look like event horizons--but could also be just apparent horizons. To know that they are actual, true event horizons, we would have to know the entire future of the universe, since an event horizon is a globally defined surface in spacetime and its presence and location cannot be known unless you know the entire spacetime, i.e., the entire future. If you don't know that--and of course we don't--you can't tell an actual event horizon from an apparent horizon.

> isn’t anything inside sealed off by gravity, the fact that time slows down infinitely, the hypothesised firewall, etc?

None of these are actual features of actual event horizons (or apparent horizons, for that matter). The first is a missatement--the gravity of the object is not "sealed off" and can still be detected outside. The second is an illusion caused by an unfortunate choice of coordinates. The third is pure speculation, and speculation which does not appear to have gained much traction.

> if a black hole has a singularity or a super heavy pokemon, there is no distinguishable difference in our universe?

Most physicists do not believe that either of these (if I take "super heavy pokemon" to mean "some kind of ordinary compact object like a neutron star") is what actually happens.
LE has to comply with the root CA standards too. For a variety of reasons there haven't been as many problems with LE - partly because they don't get paid by folks getting certs and issuing certs is a cost to them so their incentives are different.

I'm not sure it's likely that the LLM here learned from gcc. The size optimization work here is focused on learning phase orderings for LLVM passes/the LLVM pipeline, which wouldn't be at all applicable to gcc.

Additionally, they train approximately half on assembly and half on LLVM-IR. They don't talk much about how they generate the dataset other than that they generated it from the CodeLlama dataset, but I would guess they compile as much code as they can into LLVM-IR and then just lower that into assembly, leaving gcc out of the loop completely for the vast majority of the compiler specific training.

I imagine both of us sound to the other like we're reading from a list of talking points. On your side, I see your replies as twisting things around to try and get to being right through some narrow definition - obviously Chevron further codified things - otherwise we'd just reference Skidmore and be done with it. But that doesn't change the fact that it was codifying existing practices, which is my entire point.

As for Thomas, I do not understand how any rational human being could make excuses for him (or Alito, to a smaller extent.) If you don't think it is a massive conflict of interest to be taking part in rulings related to the interests of Crow when he has received millions of dollars worth of perks, vacations, etc. from him, I don't know that we can have a serious conversation. How can anyone remain impartial when the interests of someone who has lavished them with the equivalent of many millions of dollars in gifts are in the balance? I'm also not stating that Thomas is newly compromised, so I'm not sure that his original positions mean much when I believe he's been compromised from the start. The difference is now that he and his compatriots are firmly in the driver's seat.
as i understand it, the advantage of golden-section search is that, to search for a minimum rather than a zero, you need to in some sense interpolate a parabola rather than a line, so you need three points rather than two, and you'd like them to be somewhat evenly spaced. i don't fully understand why the golden section is better for this than just dividing the interval between the two lowest points in half, but it's definitely an algorithm to solve a different problem
Downvoted.

Worse: both are theoretically equivalent.

But this doesn't change the fact that humans seem to intuitively perceive iteration as more natural.

Likewise Congress could clearly state that agencies are not allowed to interpret the gaps. If Congress was unhappy with how the executive branch was working, it could solve the problem easily and directly. So the Court, when making this decision, was not concerned about what’s “right” or even Constitutional. It showed its hand by disrupting existing rulemaking that has been going on and explicitly allowed by the Court and implicitly granted by Congress for decades.

Changing the status quo on a fundamental de facto government structure is not good judiciating.
Nothing is outside the domain of science. It's not about culture, but attitude - science makes everything its domain. Scientific method is generally applicable, it's a universal tool for identifying any kind of pattern that we can possibly identify. Everything else is, in practice if not theory, completely random, but "completely random" is a pattern too, so it too lives in the domain of science.

> the Nobel prize was awarded for the Singularity Theorem

Sure, because those theorems played a very important role in clarifying exactly what classical GR predicts in these regimes, and therefore in focusing the efforts of physicists in fruitful directions. That remains the case even if it turns out that in our actual universe, at least some of the assumptions of those theorems are violated so that there aren't any actual singularities. One of the key contributions of the singularity theorems was in making those assumptions clear, so that physicists who did not believe singularities were physically realistic knew exactly where to look for other possibilities.

"Jewish speakers of Old French or Old Italian who were literate in either liturgical Hebrew or Aramaic, or both, migrated through Southern Europe to settle in the Rhine Valley in an area known as Lotharingia (later known in Yiddish as Loter) extending over parts of Germany and France.[29] There, they encountered and were influenced by Jewish speakers of High German languages and several other German dialects"

Hobbies are hobbies. It is bizarre the ways in which people pretend that certain hobbies are more of a waste than others. If this article was about the downfall of PC Gamer magazine or something similar, I bet the top comment here wouldn't effectively be "good riddance, video games are a waste". I can't help feel that this is in part because of latent misogyny that views hobbies disproportionately enjoyed by women as lesser than those enjoyed by men.
You claimed that congestion tax will increase the cost of consumer goods and services. That was a precise argument backed up by hand-wavy evidence. All I said was that we don't know that for sure, and that it's possible it could go the other way.
I fail to see how this parade of horribles will happen. Under the Chevron regime, any random person could still sue, and provided that the lawsuit survived an initial motion to dismiss, then any questions involving an administrative agency policy would defer to that agency's interpretation of their own policy and the law authorizing that policy.

The only change now is that the agency will have to demonstrate to an independent Article III court that its policy is correct and compatible with the authorizing law. Stare decisis will still control the lower courts once new precedents are set, and people will have meaningful appeals again.

There might be some disruption in the short term, but in a decade or two, I expect the new normal will be fine, but with the benefit that people can meaningfully appeal self-aggrandizing administrative state rulings.

Funny thing about HPUX to Solaris migration is we found a ton of null pointer dereferences which didn't cause SEGV on HPUX but did on Solaris. And Linux migration was to a different endianness so had to fix any copying to/from ints to a buffer.
> Your legal theory would have to explain, for example, why some States today (e.g. Washington) do not recognize or accept any Federal IDs, like passports, only State IDs

I don't believe you're correct. WA accepts all kinds of identification. I can't find anything in the RCWs to mention the exclusivity of WA identification for ANY purposes.

> A Social Security Number is not an ID expressly as a matter of law, because it can’t be legally.

Yet it is an ID (although not a strong one), and it's used for that purpose by the IRS. You can't be legally employed without an SSN (with several narrow exceptions).

Males in the US are also required to register with the Selective Service, which also requires an SSN.

All this has been upheld by the SCOTUS, the government just needed to show that it had a legitimate need for the ID system.

But if you take care to actually explain how it works, the proportion of successful students increases dramatically.

Technically they still can do that but they can now be overridden by any judge for any reason. This is an obscene power-grab by our most corrupt and least accountable branch of government.

> Modularisation is usually the key. Small modules do one thing and are as seperated as much as possible with as little side effects as possible.

I think the key aspect is a bit different: understandability. That is, if you open two pages of random code, then can you roughly understand and follow what it roughly does?

Everything in a single package/module/directory can be quite understandable. It doesn't necessarily need to be modular, but it often does help. "Understandability" is more broad though, and also includes things such as not having weird hard to understand functions nested 8 levels deep, and things like that.

It also means not over-engineering things. "Our code is hard to understand, therefore, we need more architecture" is a fallacy I've seen a few times. The code wasn't hard to understand due to lack of modularity or architecture, but because it was just badly written unclear code.
No, it's an ultimatum to not turn places intended for the public into your personal campsite. Even if your circumstances are bad.
I like the flat earth example.

However, it seems to me that your definition is circular.

You define irrational as the opposite of being rational.

The circular definition is not good enough.

> processing taconite, a type of low-grade iron ore

taconite is typically 30%–35% iron, but it's true that most iron has historically been made from higher-grade ores than that (though throughout history iron has usually been made from lower-grade ores, just in much smaller quantities)

it is indeed fairly surprising to find cast iron in a roman town. china had cast iron from around 2500 years ago, but i thought the technology only reached europe during medieval times, and even later in western europe

Absolutely. But then what exactly is being rational
Right, sorry I wasn't clear. If you were more interested in "local" communications, and less interested in broadcasting to the rest of the cosmos, do you still need gigantic amounts of energy at the transmitter? And how much power would you need, even if the energy is relatively high? For low power transmissions, what is the limiting factor on the receiving end? Or why can't you detect really low power transmissions? Can't get your receiver close enough to absolute zero, so thermal fluctuations kill receiver sensitivity? Background gravitation noise floor is too high across the band? Quantum fluctuations are a limiting factor? Can't make an X-ray/gamma-ray interferometer? "Antenna" size scales with length rather than area? Other?

I suppose the ratio of Coulomb's constant to the gravitation constant (or something similar) govern the relative difficulty in using gravitational vs. EM? But that's not obvious to me that it would make gravitational wave communications inefficient in absolute terms.
