IIRC the property ‘each single digit has the same density’ is the definition for a ‘simply normal number’ (in a given base), while ‘each finite string of a particular length has the same density as all other strings of that length’ is the definition for a ‘normal number’ (in a given base). And then ‘normal in all bases’ is sometimes called ‘absolutely normal’, or just ‘normal’ without reference to a base.

Out of curiosity, why did you name the paid plan Everest?
It depends on your definition of "normal number". You seem to be using what wikipedia[1] calls "simply normal", which is that every digit appears with equal probability.

What people usually call "normal number" is much stronger: a number is normal if, when you write it in any base b, every n-digit sequence appears with the same probability 1/b^n.

Not sure if that's a good thing. I hate ads, and think that enabling this by default is still a super weird inversion of control (the user client should think about the user, not the websites that it browses). But I really wonder about who will gate keep the access to the aggregated data, and if that won't make the big players even more dominant in web advertising.
Yes! Supported file types can, such as MP4. Other video formats are not currently supported for streaming (can still be uploaded for download) due to browser restrictions and compute considerations.

In a society where the abuse of human labour was factored into the cost of the product, the 8-inch fab line would have been shut down, since the cost of the 8-inch wafers would now be prohibitive and not be competitive with the wafers from the 12-inch line. This in-turn would mean that customers would have to switch over to the 12-inch wafers.

We are not supposed to compete on who can abuse their workers the most to improve efficiency and to cut costs. Thankfully, knowledge work does not seem to scale the same way as manual labour, meaning that more abuse of the workers does not mean more output over the long-term.
As everforward says, lenses are a way of managing that. Downranking a site doesn't mean you'll never see results from that site (unless you want it to), it means that the site will score lower in the results than it would otherwise. And you can change the rankings anytime, if you wish.

I don't use the lenses myself because I don't need different rankings for different things, but they might address your needs.

That was the point of my post so thanks for contributing some interesting comparisons of your own.

For many of the rest there are daily rolling blackouts and some only get power for one hour a day to cook dinner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_North_Korea). Also, Arizona and Florida State Universities, the two largest in the USA, are in extremely hot climates. The HVAC consumption alone for all those classrooms, common areas, facilities and dorms must be massive, whereas electric HVAC is virtually unheard of in N. Korea.

> We're seeing some signs of this, along with other changes in drug models: injectable hypertension treatment is in test. Imagine the impact on the cost basis of a pill-per-day model!

Tablets are generally dirt cheap to produce. Sterile injectables adds a lot of variables and requirements, both in production and sometimes also in distribution (cold chain?) and administration (directly and sometimes requiring reconstitution).

Maybe if you have an API that’s expensive to produce and has poor bioavailability an injectable might be cheaper.

A long acting injectable antihypertensive will have a place for some, but creates other issues: can’t stop it quickly and hypertension often requires multiple agents to treat.

I wish poly-pills took off :(

dude this is great, and what a coincidence! We made a similar detective puzzle game a few months earlier based on GPT-4Turbo. We also encountered this problem of ai leaking key information too easily, our solution to that was A) we break down the whole story into several pieces, and each character knows only a piece, ai cannot leak pieces he doesn't know; B) we did some prompt switching, unless the player has gathered sufficient amount of information, the prompt would always provent the ai from confessing.

I mean they were using computers, just a different mode of computing. I think the take-away is that these things just aren't as intuitive as we assume they are. The filesystem is a fairly complex abstraction with an huge API that grew organically over a long period of time and the user-facing interface modeled a paper-oriented office with filing cabinets and briefcases that doesn't exist anymore.

I would approach it backwards if I was teaching it today where you code in an all-in-one dev environment where the fact that say Python modules are files doesn't really matter. And then the filesysrem is presented as the way to persist data across program invocations.

> I don't see how that could be true. The sequence 0-9 repeated infinitely is, by definition, a normal number (in that the distribution of digits is uniform)

Well, your first problem is that you don't know the definition of a normal number. Your second problem is that this statement is clearly false.

Here's Wolfram Alpha:

> A normal number is an irrational number for which any finite pattern of numbers occurs with the expected limiting frequency in the expansion in a given base (or all bases). For example, for a normal decimal number, each digit 0-9 would be expected to occur 1/10 of the time, each pair of digits 00-99 would be expected to occur 1/100 of the time, etc. A number that is normal in base-b is often called b-normal.

Your "counterexample" is not a normal number in any sense, most obviously because it isn't irrational, but only slightly less obviously because, as you note yourself, the sequences "321", "654", and "99" do not ever appear.

Can you write out a specific calculation using Avogadro's number/moles/u/etc. so I can do the same without those and see if it's actually any easier?

"treat 1 gram as 1 u and just work in moles"

Surely that's no easier than treating 1 gram as 1 yocto-gram and just working in yotta-things.

> You never go to yoctograms

You can and it's both as easy as moles to work with and conceptually simpler. That's why I'm saying we don't need all the Avogadro's number stuff since we do already have yg even if nobody uses it.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about how it could be done. You seem to be talking about how it is done. I'm not denying how people actually use it, just pointing out that it's a giant needlessly-complicated historical legacy.

> If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that the digits of pi are not countably infinite but instead is a continuum.

No; combining two countably infinite sets doesn't increase the cardinality of the result (because two is finite). Combining one finite set with one countably infinite set won't give you an uncountable result either. The digits would still be countably infinite.

Looking at this from another direction, it is literally true that, when x = 1/7, x = 0.142....x.... , but it is obviously not true that the decimal expansion of 1/7 contains uncountably many digits.

If you're concerned about carbon emissions, then tax energy enough to provide carbon capture to offset those carbon emissions, plus a little on top. Then I don't care what you use the power for, as long as I can get some, too.

The problem isn't PoW, the problem is uncaptured externalities.

I don't think that a distributed ledger is the right way to solve this, but flawed attacks on a solution being proposed to a terrible current state of affairs, without presenting any other solution whatsoever, is irksome, and doesn't help anybody.

This would have been taught as Philosophy 101 before Christ was even born, as even the Greek and Roman religions understood that good and evil are objective concepts defined by something.

I think this type of harassment and stalking happens way more often than LE and tech companies want to admit. Another instance[1] happened in Miami with a cop using a database to stalk a woman, another deputy, for pulling him over.

The reality is that once your data is in a database, you never know who reads it and when. Its like the joke, "If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?".

Very likely, the only reason that this woman will see justice is because she was inside the same system being used to stalk her and able to gather evidence against the man.
