> They are the motivation for the people at the top to continue to improve.

That is improving at something that is completely useless still. It is not even more interesting to watch than, say, 20 years ago. That progress does not help anyone.

Something I grapple with as someone who washed out of the classical music pipeline and recreationally participate in an Olympic sport: if my future child gets identified as Talented, will I let them go down the Path? Because What-If they’re actually world-dominating talent? Will it be right of me to derail that in the name of risk-adversity?

I say this because I got washed out during a critical development phase (I was 10 years old) due to some poorly timed family crises and an abusive teacher. I think I’ve done okay for myself and still play as a hobby but the what-ifs do enter my daydreams from time to time…
How does it do it?
There is no disconnection between the interior of the black hole and the exterior. They are smoothly and continuously connected, and the “normal” axis of time blends seamlessly with the “bent” axis of time inside the black hole. That’s why orbits are so weird outside the black hole.

You’re simply wrong about this.
Yup, on reading the actual Theia website I realise I got it wrong. Thanks :)
Reading the article I get a feeling that it's more like proof of concept, than a economically feasible project, as there's no mention of costs.
So how long does it take for a thing to enter the singularity as seen from our reference frame? If you say there is no way to answer it, then you say that I am right, so I'd like to see a link to a formula saying how long that takes from our point of view.

I studied up to a masters in physics, I've seen the math, I don't believe there is a way to calculate that, there is no way to compare time inside with time outside.

Edit: I'd love to see such a formula if there is one btw, so if you know there is one please link!

This article is very much:

How to draw an owl:

1. Draw a big oval on your paper. The owl will go inside this.

2. Draw the rest of the owl.

This article is not only useless, it's encouraging people with that same motherboard to potentially compromise their system by installing a completely unknown binary blob into their motherboard firmware. :(
Yes. This is very common.

Many trainers at clubs here in Sweden are ex-pros who never made the top-200. Even some retired top players work as tennis trainers.

So this escape route exists. Another escape route where you don't have to abandon tennis and still have a chance of going pro is to play at a college in the US.
This contradicts the FAQ page

https://rhisotope.org/faqs/

> Q: What if you drop the radioactive seed in the grass and cannot be found? And other animals accidentally ingest it?

> A: This is a highly unlikely scenario as specific standard operating procedures will be developed to ensure that no radioactive material will be left behind at the treatment site. Should an animal ingest some of the radioactive material subsequent to the initial treatment, the radioisotope will be of such a chemical and physical form that it will quickly pass through the bowels of the animal and be excreted out by that animal. The calculated doses will not do any significant harm.

Perhaps something significant happens when grinding up the radioisotope, but then again this would also happen when ingested by animals (grinding between teeth etc).

I don't want to be turn this into a "Flutter vs other UI frameworks" thread, but I'm curious - what type of problems are you seeing?

To me, state management is a non-issue - there's a built-in option (StatefulWidget/setState), various third party (Riverpod/Provider/etc), and enough basic SDK components (ValueNotifier/StreamBuilder/etc) to roll your own (which is my preference).
Meta has perfected the Reality Distortion field.

You only get the news that they want you to get. And what you get is totally biased to favor those who pay the most, aka maximizing advertising revenue.

I just don't get it. Why does anybody use Facebook to read the news????? Every TV channel has a news site, every newspaper has one too.
You are correct that we just dont know what happens behind event horizont, from our perspective at least. Currently our best theory says nothing from inside can leak out, so in that spirit saying infalling matter ends up in singularity is as based in reality as it transforming into unicorns.

Regardless, its important to keep in mind that this is valid _only_ from our perspective, that from the perspective of infalling matter something _real_ happens, and that real thing that happens is probably not completely disconnected from rules we perceived in our own universe.

Throwing hands up and saying "we cant tell whats inside, so why are we even arguing about what we think happens there" is certainly a way to look at things if your only motivation is to find out whats happening inside, but that is not all we are after. We are trying to use all we currently know to reason about how the inside might look, any possibility, and try to work out backwards what unforseen implications it might have for our reality.

We are not saying that inside blackhole is sigularity, we are saying that, given our understanding of how outside looks, there might be a singularity inside. We also know the math that yields us this singularity is probably wrong (infinite), and actively are trying to figure out whats wrong with it. We are using this imaginated realoty to work backwards what we might have gotten wrong, and perhaps in this case its not even the roght way of thinking to solve this mystery; it just worked for us before, so we trying.

If you figure out whats actually happening there, and find some way to connect it to rules of our universe, everyone will cheer. If its by first discovering new effect in our universe that would elegantly fit into blackholes, or in the stroke of genius come up with a pure theory enlighting some real observations, nobody would care.

Its just when we throw a mass, it keeps going. It makes more sense to think that it goes the same inside blackhole, but maybe not. We just dont know..
Are there many people happily paying for what athletes produces? Because it does not seem to work that way economically. There are very few people on top who earn and massively more of those who are in financial loss. And a lot of money goes from governments and own families.
Without knowing anything, and before reading this comment, I had the feeling of nr. 2. Strong feeling. I think the reason is „many klocs of Python“. I have developed alergy to big Python programs. I like python for small things, probably wrapping some C code.

The thing I don't get about OpenTTD: the passengers don't seem to care where you're taking them? In what way is it fun to build networks to solve the problem of "take passengers wherever, they don't care"?

I have enjoyed Simutrans, where passengers have desired destinations and use your service if you can take them there. They can change between different transports too. This often creates choke points. For me, that makes the game interesting.
Latent Intrinsics Emerge from Training to Relight
Yeah this stuff is hilarious and sad. I'm in the middle of setting up a kubernetes cluster for a relatively big company. K8s in their environment makes sense.

However, the first conversation (after finishing up the contract) with the sysadmins went like: "Yeah, ingresses are fine and such, but we'll have our loadbalancer in front of that which will inspect the url paths to know which ingress it has to go to, we don't want some 'developer' to open up some new endpoint without us approving it! Those guys never know what they're doing."

At this point I'm not sure if he's pulling my leg or something, b/c before the we wrote up the contract the whole idea was to give their dedicated platform team and developers more self service. In one fell swoop, bam, negated.

Devops imo is about clear responsibility, it just doesn't work if boundaries are not communicated explicitly. In the above scenario once everything is setup, developers will not gain any velocity, and the sysadmin are still manually adding url routing to their loadbalancers.
Actually jet fuel is already being synthesized from a mix of biomass and captured carbon.

A lot of the carbon capture schemes propose capturing carbon from coal plants or similar sources where massive amounts of fossil fuels are being burned.

But you are right that there are clean sources as well. But mostly with carbon capture, the source is fossil fuel.

This isn't a very constructive post. Are we supposed to believe this is the only inefficient and buggy software out there? Seems weird to call out a particular project like that.
Soccer is actually okay though.

Agree. The problem being whatever support they provide (which means the updates) must be good enough so that people want it. And IMO I don't see the support being a good thing in Win 11 or recent. I currently stay on Windows due to better program support (some services provide less to none for Linux) and gaming (online games using anti-cheat not working on Linux). Hope Linux within a decade would gain enough market share & support to solve this pain points.
Of course. Isn’t that the case with any code?
oh this sounds great! thanks for sharing
> Its just when we throw a mass, it keeps going

You wouldn't feel going through the event horizon of a large black hole, so I see no reason why that mass would somehow just collapse into a singularity.

Also the math for a black hole states that when the black holes density reaches below the density of the universe, the black holes event horizon will expand and encompass the whole universe, meaning matter doesn't even have to fall into the black hole, the black hole could just grow into the matter and then you don't even have a velocity you just have matter entering the black hole.

We know the two above are how the math for black holes work, none of those produce likely singularities, because there is no force compressing that into a singularity. So if singularities exists in black holes, it would just be some of them, and not all parts of the black hole would have to be a part of that singularity.
This is just plain wrong. Autonomous taxis are operating in several cities, I know of several companies that use AI to detect and fix bugs in code, and at least one that is currently experimenting with completely automating the process of updating dependencies, and using AI to do any necessary changes when new dependency versions contain breaking changes.

Those are just a few things off the top of my head, and we're already talking millions if not billions of dollars in actual value, actual services rendered to society with zero speculation involved.
These people spend pretty much all their time in work. They don't have personal lifes separated from work. Even if they have partner, it is someone they see 30 min a day or something like that.
In TXR, we can easily recall the entire function definition at the REPL, and resubmit it, without requiring any external IDE.

Furthermore, if you have the kind of workflow where you have individual REPL commands produce results that are used by subsequent commands, the TXR Lisp listener has good support for that. When you recall an input line from history, you can use Ctrl-X Enter to execute it rather than just Enter. When you use Ctrl-X Enter, it will keep the history position and move to the next line in history rather than return to the current context. So using Ctrl-X Enter multiple times, you can resubmit a sequence of historic lines in order.
This guy could have had so much fun travelling the world.

Sure he’s not got much status in the tennis community, but everyone else is impressed if you say you're 378th in the world. All he had to do was spend time with non tennis ppl in all of the amazing places he went to.

Can the FAA actually send the C level to Jail? Seems like it may be the only way to really get the attention of the company.

> VS Code does have flaws, but having limited extensions is not one of them, IMO.

Exactly. Of course as somebody who writes extensions I'd sometimes like the possibility to change stuff at a "deeper" level - like having multi-line text decorations. But as a user I really prefer the model to the Emacs' one. Emacs (and I guess *vim) works best if the user writes all the code themselves.
I'm asking what needs to be improved, in your opinion.

That's a normal follow-up question that you should be able to answer. Otherwise, why are you even commenting?
No. We never will. Simply ran out of time. Electricity will be provided fully by renewables only in EU and China in a timeframe shorter than it takes to build a new nuclear reactor of already well-debugged type, from scratch - let alone a thermonuclear one for which no designs exist. We are speaking 2035-2040 to fully get rid of fossil fuels in electricity grid, and 2030-2035 before they are reduced to low (10-20%) levels.

It took 12 years to build first unit of Belarusian NPP - of a type that's been built by the dozen for decades, and in a country where all-powerful government controls and owns everything, there is no NIMBY or the "society" thing in the Western understanding at all, and where if you try to protest you just disappear. Can't be done faster. By 2036, fossil fuel electricity will be a thing of the past in some places, and quickly disappearing in all others.
> I don't think there's any controversy among Yiddish speakers that Yiddish is primarily Germanic.

Ah, we had one Yiddish speaker in r/germany who ragequit after it was pointed out to him that Yiddish basically just sounds like an Eastern-European dialect of German to native speakers, with a number of Hebrew words thrown in, and German native speakers usually can understand it after being exposed to it for some time (like for all dialects, you need to adjust your hearing).

> Yiddish speakers might find the (non-joking) assertion that Yiddish is just broken German offensive, however.

Well, it's definitely not "broken" German, it follows the same pattern as other German dialects with influences from other languages. Phonetic shift plus imported words.

> Or similarly, that Yiddish's non-German components are somehow less desirable than its German ones

German has quite a number of words of Hebrew origin [1], and nobody finds them offensive, or somehow not desirable.

In ADM-3 (or some such) there was only one backspace+overstrike character and it was underscore. So Ä and Ö was marked thus.

Otherwise HYVÄÄ YÖTÄ was HYV{{ Y|T{, which was only little miserable.

But if you changed the ROM into Swedish ROM, {a|b} become äaöbå, which was basically unreadable.
It's a very butthurt take about Mozilla agreeing to DRM in browsers. I prefer to watch Netflix or other streaming services in my browser, using its native features, not Flash, not Silverlight, not some native app not available for Linux.
This is why advances in even-longer transmission lines will be necessary. Even if you your power is generated 3000km south of you and needs to be shipped up, the transmission line losses will only be, what, around 10% or so? That might mean your electricity is a little more expensive than it is for people who live farther south, but it's probably still cheaper than what we have now.
It’s not just tooling; processes, infrastructure and dedicated teams for centralized infrastructure are what makes Google’s monorepo what it is. FWIW, most of the tools are publicly available or have good publicly available counterparts. What’s likely missing elsewhere is funding for infrastructure teams.

I remember dealing with ops teams. Nice people but it added a lot of delays and friction to deploying things. I very much prefer not having to deal with ops departments today. Not a thing in my life anymore. In that sense the devops movement has been a total success.

Where devops went wrong in a lot of teams though is assuming it's a full time role for a specialist that then does your devops. That's not devops. It's ops. And these aren't developers but operations people. Embedding them in teams is still progress though as it removes obstacles.

But if you do it right, this is not a full time thing at all. The wrong way is generating a lot of busywork for your devops people to develop loads of yaml files that feed into things like Kubernetes, Terraform and then enable organizations to codify their structure into their deployment architecture using microservices (Conway's law). I'd suggest not doing that and doing things that minimize the need for devops people. Like using monoliths.

I prefer solutions that minimize my time involvement. I use monoliths so I don't have to babysit a gazillion deployment scripts. I need just one of those. And since I don't have micro services, I use docker compose, not Kubernetes. The deployment script is just a few lines of bash that restarts docker compose. It kicks in with a simple Github action. The amount of time setting that up is a few hours at best. I rarely need to touch those files. We have no Terraform because our production environment got created manually and we're not in the habit of destroying and recreating that a lot since we launched it years ago. And it's simple enough that I can click a new one together in an hour or so. Automating one off things like that has very low value to me.
Why would KLOC in Python be worse than in any other language?
Ok, I agree, if there is enough (ad-hoc) communication within the team, you don’t need those meetings every day.

In my experience there is exactly 0 correlation between certification needed and code Quality. Right now working in a multi billion company doing SW that must pass many certifications. The code is absolut trash. The tooling is terrible. The people confuse make and cmake. All said. And the SW gets certified, because it is all a matter of how much it costs to certify. It is a kind of high level corruption, that is not seen as corruption.

This does not happen. If you're losing state, it's always either because A: the component is replaced with another, B: the component is removed, C: you have given this component a key and changed it.
