Hi, I want to respond to a post from you from 2019. (That 2019 thread no longer offers the reply button, otherwise I would reply there of course.) I apologize for using this thread to get my message in.

This is the item I want to respond to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19768492 When you took a Classical Mechanics course you were puzzled by the form of the Lagrangian: L = T - V

I have created a resource for the purpose of making application of calculus of variations in mechanics transparent. As part of that the form of the Lagrangian L=T-V is explained.

http://cleonis.nl/physics/phys256/calculus_variations.php

http://cleonis.nl/physics/phys256/energy_position_equation.p...

I recognize the 'you are certainly entitled to ask why' quote, it's from the book 'Classical Mechanics' by John Taylor.

Here's the thing: there is a good answer to the 'why' question. Once you know that answer things become transparent, and any wall is gone.

I think that, as a not yet fully developed adult, you weren't exactly noticing that they did care.[1]

Think about it this way: remember all those times they stopped you from doing something stupid that would have hurt yourself? Yeah - that was them caring for your wellbeing.

Why? What's wrong in a supermarket, a 500m² (~5400ft²) shed one km (0.6 miles) from your home? It's not open 24/7, it does not smell or smoke, generate special noise, heat and so on. In between a pine wood, a small lake, a bit of grass. My nearest neighbor "pollute" much more with:

- noisy party in summer till early morning

- smelly fertilizer for his garden

- noisy DIY hobby in early morning and late evening

of course the supermarket receive a truck to resupply and many cars of buyers but hey, it's one km away in nature. Similarly the blacksmith shed it's not at a spit of some homes, it's around 1km away. The local elementary school is at few km from most homes. It's still a spread area but you do not need to run 40+40km just to buy a bottle of milk. There are also some polluting factories, but of course they are planted at a sufficient distance from any home.

Part of the problem is over-personification of these models. "Hallucination" as an industry term implies that the model is a thinking entity with a perception that is faulty. Instead, it's more like a slow database that has failed to provide correct information.

If you'd like a LLM to provide a stream of characters that look like text, they're very good for that. They're not good for providing information, full stop.

On one end, if you get good fundamentals, you'll understand the practical side too.

On the other end, most of engineering knowledge is from experience.

Switching undergrad courses to be about understanding THE DOM so we can drive browsers to render our printed-paper skeuomorphs isn't going to drive any kind of innovation. It's not going to put you in a good position to generalise to other work.

Furthermore, if you aspire to centering divs and tweaking webpack, you don't need a CS course for that.

amazing analysis. for me, either canvas- or carousel-based editor solves the mental issue of having to also load a significant amount of cognitive data all time you deal with very large codebases. (it also automatically require you to have a wide screen sufficient to make use of the tool properly).

Mine, FirstDirect in the UK, recently dropped the password from “between 5 and 9 case-sensitive alphanumeric characters” to “exactly six digits” and claimed that this was just as secure as before…¹²

My guess is that either they were cutting support costs and wanted to reduce the number of calls from people who forgot their more complicated password!. Either that or they are trying to integrate a legacy system, don't have the resources/access to improve that, so reduced everything else down to its level. When raised one on of their public facing online presences someone pointed out that it is no less than other online banks do, but if they are happy being just as good but no better than other banks there is nothing for me to be loyal to should another bank come up with a juicy looking offer.

Most democracies tolerate a degree of social chaos since self expression and freedom of action are part of the culture.

Dictatorships on the other hand are terrified of their own people, and so crush and expression of freedom that they don't directly approve (see for instance the lady that was arrested in Moscow for standing in public with a blank piece of paper).

However in times of threat from an external force, then people group together and there's more cohesion. Would a democracy like France press the button to protect themselves or an ally under such circumstances? Yes, I think they would.

However these societies are not run by a single small cell of egotistical leaders like feudal courts of old as current autocracies are. The question is more, would these deranged autocracies have the dumb courage to risk annihilation by directly attacking the democracies they hate? Doubt it.

My advice as a parent and electrical engineer. Buy kits. Don’t go to electrical engineering. There is nothing interesting there. Only lots of wasted time. Your son is not interested how to calculate resistor’s value in motor control circuit. Your son needs no frustration with failing printed circuit boards. He needs something spectacular what moves (and is visually appealing) and causes light errors to learn from.

My path: Chinese 3 wheel chassis, Arduino and I2C color sensor. Line follower robot to be extended to multiple color sensors. It sounds easy, but it will occupy you with your sine for few weekends. Afterwards you’ll see what part is most interesting for your son. Bigger robot, bigger processor, bigger wheels, more speed, a camera instead of color sensor. Maybe just cool paint.

Good luck with your project!
Ive purchased many books containing material that is out of copyright, most recently a compendium of Lovecraft's works. It can be done extreemly cheaply. Such books tend to be of horrible print quality. I would need to see loads more photos, and independant reviews, to even consider dropping 100+ on such a book.

> use 'which' not 'witch', quite different words

Thanks and sorry for my English, even if I use it for work I do not normally use it conversationally and as a result it's still very poor for me...

Well I do not specifically talk about AWS, but in general living on someone else is much more expensive in OPEX than what it can be spared in CAPEX, and it's a deeply critical liability, specially when we start to develop on someone else API instead of just deploy something "standard" we can always move unchanged.

Yes, technical debt is a big issue but is a relative issue because if you can't maintain your own infra you can't be safe anyway, the "initial easiness" means a big disaster sooner or later, and the more later it is the more expensive it will be. Of course an unipersonal startup can't have on it's own iron offsite backups, geo replication and so on, but dose the MINIMUM usage of third party services trying to be as standard and vendor independent as possible until you earn enough to own it's definitively possible at any scale.

Unfortunately it's a thing we almost lost since now Operation essentially does not exists anymore except for few giants, Devs have no substantial skill since they came from "quick" full immersion bootcamps where they learned just to do repetitive things with specific tools like modern Ford model workers able only to turn a wrench and still most of the management fails to understand IT for what it is, not "computers" like astronomers telescopes, but information, like stars for astronomers. This toxic mix have allowed very few to earn hyper big positions, but they start to collapse because their commercial model is technically untenable and we start all paying the high price.

Germany actually has an extremely small public sector at 12.9% of all people in the workforce. Compare to neighboring countries like the Czech Republic (15.4%), Poland (23.6%) or Denmark (30.2%).

Are you saying that Berlin is an outlier in Germany, then? My perception (looking from outside) has always been that their public sector is just completely understaffed.

"part of the five-year plan to improve agricultural output (as if there isn't a whole history of, at the very least, deliberate withholding of resources against colonial population, if not outright use of hunger as an instrument of repression)"

You are missing the point again -- unlike the USSR, western colonial powers didn't do that to their own people.

We already have those things. To the extent that people can use them to get the good product instead of the junk one, don't they already do it?

And, of course, we know that these things are often corrupted. One of the major problems is that people want this most for products that are expensive, but manufacturers only send free/pre-release test samples to reviewers they think will publish a favorable review.

To do it right you need the reviewer to not have this dependency on the manufacturer for access, so they need money to buy the product themselves. Which is what you get with Consumer Reports, but they (haha) aren't funded by advertising, and then people on a tight budget forego subscription and don't know what to buy.

It wasn't the AA phone boxes but their radio network. From the article:

> Whitehall arranged for the prime minister’s car to have a radio link – with which the AA used to communicate with its mechanics – that would tell the driver that he needed to reach a public phone box, from which Macmillan would call Whitehall. It was suggested that government drivers carried four pennies, as that was the minimum sum needed in a GPO phone box.

Makes more sense to slightly buff black's opening move. E.g. allow two pawns to move one square, or select a few pawns that can move three squares. The flexibility will make white harder to play than black.

This is how esports are balanced, and how a game like Starcraft was (at least when I played) more fair than Chess even though there were three "colors" involved (Zerg, Protoss, Terran) and way more "pieces" and complexity.

There was no "parent company" per se - codisec was a team inside CodiLime, starting out as an initiative to build more cybersecurity presence, including being the name we participated in various CTF contests. (This is all public info, you can find codisec at various CTF participation trackers too). And yes, I was there (worked at CodiLime late 2014 - early 2017), including in the early days of Veles (those who know my full name can easily find me in credits in the github repo, direct link with my account was lost when the repo was migrated into current one).

With regards to Veles, I mostly did infrastructure and tooling for CI/CD - so including the CMake stuff and making Jenkins setup for the builds. I think it was actually the first project on which I used Jenkinsfile, which was then very fresh thing. I was never much of a C++ fan so I didn't participate much in the editor code itself, especially with another project taking lion share of my attention later on.
