but firms live and die based on how profitable they are. if employing all women teams to do the hard work would cost less, firms who did so would thrive at the expense of the sexist ones who value penises. the lack of such firms suggests a conspiracy on a society scale, where not only will women be penalised within companies by getting paid less, but companies that employ all women and therefore cost much less to run would have to be shunned by every customer out there to make sure they don't succeed and take over the business of the more expensive ones!
I liked this quote too, though I wonder if it's not more out of necessity and the special nature of math than anything else.

Mathematicians speak languages non-math people can't grasp, so they gravitate toward and connect to one another.

Math simply doesn't advance without promiscuous sharing of ideas. Soviet censors notwithstanding, there's certainly a reason correspondence like this was permitted even during the Cold War.

You could say that the above is true of other sciences, but I imagine falsification of results in math is extremely difficult or just impossible. So math is mostly immune (I suggest) to the politics and protectionism that inevitably emerges around fuzzy and controversial scientific disciplines.

Just look at the good faith Julia has in her treatment of Chudnovsky's work. Even the skepticism is respectful.
Now now we aren’t allowed to assert that our culture is better or worse than any other, that is an inviolable cardinal sin for our pristine progressive rationalist minds.

These are great things to do if you want to buld a community around a project (which does help keep it going). But it's also OK to just build what you want and publish that and then maybe accept contributions under whatever terms you feel like. Community management really is an entirely different skillset from software developement and I wouldn't want anyone to be discouraged from open sourcing their software if they are not a "people person" and don't want to deal with all that. Just sharing your work already makes the world better and you are NOT required to do anything more than that.
Sounds very much like someone did some theoretical work that said at 34 qubits you can do something interesting, and then other nations started copying the restriction while trying to figure out the why...

Good question, and I don't like the answers of other users. They are exclusively naming big well estabilished applications, that could be there due to pure luck.

Though it is true that LibreOffice, ffmpeg, and Linux are successful and widely used, I was much more curious whether the small ShowHN ones got anywhere. And I barely found any.

All (recent) FOSS success stories come from the proprietary apps being so screwed up. (At least that's my impression)
Perhaps a new signature technology can be used to prove (or at least lend credence to) human authorship?

Something like a marriage of a digital signature with a captcha: the message has a digital signature of the sender that can be verified with their public key, but it is somehow verifiable that the particular signature provider only does the signature if a human being completes the (difficult AI-proof) captcha.

Something like this approach can at least mitigate the mass AI email problem, although the one-off AI emails are unlikely to be slowed by this approach.

Totally wrong. In totality nuclear was an utterly and completely amazing deal.

The whole built up of the COMPLETE green grid cost the tax payer very little as the whole buildup went on the balance sheet of the EDF. And then it was paid down over years and years. During all this time France had very low stable energy cost.

And this is while the French state in the last 2 decades abused the system as if it was a magical giving tree. Forcing them to sell energy very cheaply. Forcing them to sell cheap reliable energy in bulk to fossil fuel companies (subsidizing them) and then buying it back at much higher prices when it became clear they sold to much. Forcing them to invest in solar and dispatch at cost (destroying base load nuclear economics).

Then the French government in its complete delusion essentially decided that they would be cool like coal producing Germany and announced a fantasy 'transition to renewables' that had literally 0.0% chance of actually happening.

They basically delayed all maintenance because the reactors would be replaced soon anyway (yeah right).

And this does not even take into account the gigantic amount of money France wont have to spend to do a green transition now. Comparably other countries had higher energy prices for 40 years, and have yet to transition a green grid.

AND as a final coup de grace France had much lower medical cost because they didn't have decades of breathing coal (except the coal coming from Germany of course). Talk about externalizes.

By any calculation, French nuclear program has been a complete and utter success.

Even with extreme conservative calculation on reactor cost Germany. Starting in 2000, Germany would have had a way cheaper transition to green energy had they much mass built nuclear like France did. If you actually apply proper economics of scale (as observed during the French mass build) the cost would be a tiny fraction what Germany has spent and will continue to spend between buildup of wind/solar/battery, the high energy prices and the massive home and industrial energy subsidizes.

> ASTRID_(reactor)

Investing in future reactors is not a bad idea. In fact, Superphénix was already built and working, most of the bugs were fixed and it was ready for more broad rollout. But instead of building many more, short sighted politicians (who seem to share your ideology) killed the project.

One of the main problems with the French nuclear industry in general, and the high cost now is that after the first generation, the next generation went anti-nuclear. They stopped building more plants, stopped innovating and start treating what the previous generation had built up as a 'problem that had to be overcome' rather then an incredibly resource.

This lead to a situation where most of the experts retired and France lost a huge amount of knowledge. Only now they realize that transitioning away to magical solar/wind isn't nearly as easy as they had thought.
didn't they already try this 4 years ago?
Pretty much this, 18 months ago my CEO told me we HAD to get into this space, and I told him that basically our money came from our private product and that the only way our big enterprise customers were going to play game with us was either ironclad agreements that went all the way to openai, or more likely a completely single tenant system, which would cost far more than they were willing to pay.

Of course they went with both, and as far as I can tell both are a major disaster post layoffs :)

I've seen an estimate that it was only about 1920 that Western medical intervention had a positive effect on average. In other words, you would generally end up worse off by visiting the doctor before then. And yet medical treatment clearly carried on as a continuous tradition throughout all of history.
"Putting man on the moon or ecommerce"

The comparison here is between moonlanding and advertisement. So I choose the moon obviously.

Ecommerce can work just the same without LLM augmented personalized ads, or no advertisement at all. If a law would ban all commercial advertisement - people still need to buy things. But who would miss the ads?
I really don't think that watching documentaries are equivalent to being able to discerning anything about an academic field. That reminds me of reading press releases to understand scientific papers, which we all understand to be a junk way of doing it.

> This is a solved problem and it happens all the time.

UTC changing does not happen all the time: what the 'all the time' thing is a display/UI offeset against UTC. Time itself is not changed in those situations, but would be with a 'UTC jump'.

The closest thing we get to universal time 'changing' are leap years and February 29, and we regularly get stories about people messing that up. And if something as common and regular as that gets fumbled I have little hope for pulling off a one-off jump of UTC.

It is coördinating the universal part that I would imagine to be the difficult part.
It’s the same problem in golf. Equipment has gotten so powerful that the strategy of the game has fundamentally changed. They can not realistically continue to make courses longer. So they’re “rolling back” the ball which will limit drive distances a bit but nothing regarding clubs.

And the reason why is the pro game makes a lot of money on endorsements. If a top pro is forced to use a club that is different from what amateurs need then the gravy train could stop.

But yes, golf is really hard and for amateurs the innovations help make the game more enjoyable. But for pros it’s just too much.
I'm reacting to the question. The article goes into a diatribe about the polling methodology which I don't particularly care about.

That young people you wouldn't expect (like, not neo-nazis or something) deny the holocaust, I have empirical evidence of, however, as I do of their ignorance of most, if not all, major historical events.

And for most with any (much rarer) knowledge, usually it's at a very crude level you'd get from a blockbuster, a video game, or a half-seen special on the History channel ("Egypt? I know of it, that's the place with the pyramids where they had cat's as gods and turned dead into mummies!") - and this includes people with university degrees.
I enjoyed this show about feeding the tour riders:

Eat. Race. Win. https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Race-Win-Season-1/dp/B086HVQ5RB

Related, Unchained (https://www.netflix.com/title/81153133) has been an interesting view into the race although food isn't discussed at all.

Before Eat. Race. Win. I had this entirely uninformed idea the food the riders ate would be incredibly streamlined and controlled - I was thinking something like Soylent and protein powder and supplements. To see them chowing down on "normal" food and drinking alcohol (at all) was surprising for me.
That's the same with pi if you think about it, and in my eyes is what makes it a transcendental number, so to speak. The numbers themselves could be different if you used a different base instead of base 10, but they still just represent a particularly useful value for us.
> What makes you assume that you will have the compartment to yourself? Do you buy six tickets?

I've ridden in various trains with 2-seat and 4-seat compartments, which were wonderful. Some of them were sold by the compartment rather than by the seat: you always pay for the whole compartment for your party, so that (for instance) a 3-person group still has the compartment to themselves.

And yes, in cases where they're sold by the seat rather than by the compartment, I will absolutely buy 1-2 extra seats for that purpose.

But even if not, I'd happily take a six-person compartment with a door, and less background noise.

People tried to make UML the language that software engineers communicated in. I think that failed because "what" is not enough. To really understand, you need "why", and that always comes in words. UML isn't able to capture that. And when people thought that UML was "the way we communicate", they did UML but few words, and it wasn't enough. The optimum turns out to be mostly words with a few UML diagrams.

A second reason is that, when things changed, UML diagrams were too hard to update to correspond to the new reality.
Naive guess: their shopping activity (leads, funnels, conversions/sales…) if/when in Ladybird would likely be tracked only by Shopify itself, at the exclusion of other big tech (most notably Google). This makes Shopify's dataset more valuable (differentiated by unique entries), which can be used in-house strategically to grow, or resold at a better price.
It took way too long to convince myself this wasn't satire. I still wish it wasn't.

It made me realize that I think many computing people need more of a fundamental education in "hard" physics (statics, mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science) in order to better understand the staggering paradigm shift that occurred in our understanding of the world in the early 20th century. Maybe then they would appreciate how much of the world's resources have now been directed by the major capital players towards sucking the collective attention span of humanity into a small rectangular screen, and the potential impact of doing so.
I started worrying about the `+` address functionality as well, so I set up postfix aliases with `me.%@domain` (I use postgres for domains/aliases/accounts) and then have my virtual_alias_map run the query `SELECT a1.goto FROM alias a1 LEFT JOIN alias a2 on (a2.address = '%s') WHERE '%s' = a1.address OR ('%s' LIKE a1.address AND a1.active = true AND a2.address IS NULL)` - I know have `.` address functionality and can do the same functionality. It's much more common for email addresses to have `.` in them, so its' less likely to trigger alarm bells.

Literally no? We must not be on the same page, both of the technologies I namedropped were Chrome and Firefox exclusive for a half-decade. And they're certainly not the only features Mozilla and Google agree upon; Apple deliberately gimps features that benefit PWAs so that browsers artificially cannot compete with their native apps.

> Just want to give a perspective as I feel people should update priors from 2021 “Safari is the new IE”

I'm sorry; people will keep calling Safari "the new IE" for as long as Apple carbon-copies Microsoft's Explorer strategy from the 90s. You can run from it, insist it's not true, but Apple will clutch to their ecosystem control whether it's rational or not. This is why we have to antitrust them, to stop the market from more of their irrational self-serving harms.
But cachái doesn't come from English-speaking immigrants. It's just one of the many English loanwords present in modern languages. And despite living in Valdivia –a city that once had street signs in German– I can't recall any other German loanwords aside from kuchen.

Very interesting, anyone have any insight into why 34 qubits was chosen?
That's what ArchiMate is supposed to provide: a big-picture view.

The issue being is the code varies over time and the model eventually gets out of date. Once the model is out of date, it's worse than useless: remember the old adage of what's worse than a codebase not having comments? A codebase having incorrect comments! That's what happens to models over time.

What's needed is a way to automate keeping the model up-to-date with the code. To my knowledge, nobody has really been working on that.

I thought they were called Data Engineers nowadays
I see the bright side, the tech for large scale computing gets mass produced - so all the legit use cases, like scientific simulations, or LLM for productive work, also profit. And if one really bright day humanity evolves beyound the current statd of ad driven everything, we can put all of it to use for real.

Till then, I will probably avoid more and more communicating with strangers on the internet. It will get even more exhausting, when 99% of them are fake.

Upvote, though I'm not a fan of "can't comprehend"

But broadly, Nassim Nicholas Taleb's work changed my thinking a bit on when I see people doing brave (and/or perhaps goddamn stupid) stuff like this. Skin in the game is powerful.

There is something to be said for -- "as long as you're ONLY putting yourself in harm's way, do your thing."

Again, I think playing around with bears is dumb as all hell, but for (an admittedly different) example, I no longer make fun of the Lifelock guy. Went from idiot to hero in my book.
I can't speak to running a mailing list but guaranteeing delivery to everyone is already a hard task with just one user. Primary difficulty will be getting an IP in a "clean" subnet - the IP that comes with a cheapo VPS will have random neighbors that you can't control and who might get the whole /24 onto blacklists again and again. If you are ok with writing off e.g. Microsoft (hosted Outlook, Hotmail, etc.) or whoever gives you trouble then that makes things easier. This is fine for personal mail depending on what your friends use but with a public service you are going to run into users with problems receiving mail from a random VPS.

> You need to find a mathematical reason why it can’t halt, and there’s no systematic method for finding such reasons—that was the great discovery of Gödel and Turing nearly a century ago.

That's only true for sufficiently large N, large enough to encode the halting paradox. (How large is that N? It's larger than 5!) Smaller N can and do fall to systematic methods.

> (x) = (5x+18)/3 if x = 0 (mod 3),

The second = should be \equivalent. This is a rare case where that actually matters, because is being used in both non-modular integer operations (divide by 3) and modular operations (where division by 3 is not defined).
