Same here. My hobbies include learning languages, which thanks to the internet can be done for free. Same for reading research papers, programming stuff, etc. I walk instead of taking public transportation because I like it, it's free and good for health. I eat at home most of the time and depending on season I prefer meeting friends outside instead of going to a bat. The only thing I'm finding spending a bit too much on is cards (Magic, Pokémon), but it's still less than 100€/month on average.

On thing I noticed is that acquiring an object call for more objects. Let's say buying a new phone. It then need a case. The charger norm changed so an adaptator is need. We are already at 3 new objects instead of one, and all of that need to be stored somewhere (with may require a new box). I find myself more often than not taking pleasure into not buying things.

So that's an argument that the government and the public should get a return on that investment, or profits should be constrained.

I find it weird how much of this is about science popularization. I have an undergrad degree in physics and don't consider myself qualified to have an opinion.

Nor do I see the point in having one. If they came tomorrow and said "yep, we just proved string theory", all I could do is shrug and say "good to know".

It feels more like people cheering on their favorite sports team than actual science.
String theory may have some undue mindshare, which is probably a bigger problem frankly, but it most definitely is not sucking up the research money.
> All areas of physics use differential equations, and so does relativity which you are contrasting these two against next.

Yes, but the way in which Newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics use DEs is similar was the point, and the way GR uses them is very different.

> Measurement, collapse and conscious observers are unnecessary additions

Maybe, I don't know. I meant to say "possibly", not "probably", sorry.

> All four areas are somehow describing the evolution of matter and energy... I would instead argue that the main difference to classical mechanics and relativity is the superposition principle

I think we're sort of in agreement? Quantum mechanics describes how superpositions evolve over time. The "what", for example, might go from particles to wavefunctions.

I’m in the same boat, and while
I love the concepts behind Rust I’m not a fan of the syntax.

What I’d love to see is a hybrid between C# and Rust that has the capabilities of both languages in “layers”.

So business logic would be written in a simple GC variant of the language that feels like C# but the underlying standard library and low-level packages could use Rust-like semantics.

This is already the direction that C# is moving in: it’s getting more and more features related to “ref” and other low-level primitives.

Sadly Rust and C# have fundamental incompatibilities such as different string encodings, so they can’t be directly merged.
Anecdotally, years ago, it was easier for me to buy Duralex glasses in fancy West Coast US shops (Sur La Table) than anywhere in France.

tl;dr: Apple can see what apps (or at least what app developers' apps) are installed by a specific IP address through OCSP. It used to be unencrypted and therefore visible to the internet, it is now only visible to Apple. Apple said they don't keep logs, but theoretically they could if they wanted to.
I have a volume of spacetime approximately equal to 5e11 quartic meters :)
For precision shooting, the alignment of the sights with each other has a much bigger impact on where you hit than the alignment of the sights with the target. An intuitive explanation for why might be that the distance from either sight to the target is much greater than the distance between the sights, so a misalignment between the sights creates a much larger angle than the same amount of misalignment with the target.
You always have the option to limit the TDP via the BIOS with nearly no performance hit (at least according to the benchmarks I made, and I also feel no difference when using my PC)

(Reposting a comment I made two weeks ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41043961)

In my BIOS I can activate a "ECO Mode", which lets me decide if I want to run my 7950x on full 170W TDP, 105W TDP or 60W TDP.

I benchmarked it, the difference between 170 and 105 is basically zero, and the difference to 60W is just a few percent of a performance hit, but way worth it, as it's ~0.3€/kWh over here.

I think some of the thinkpads have 2 SSD.

Most new laptops have soldered in Ram, but I haven't seen any soldered in SSDs yet outside of Apple.

If a supermajority of people agree on both the purpose and implementation of anything, then their elected representatives will easily come to an agreement as well. That's literally how laws get passed.

Conversely, not passing laws is a feature, not a bug.

I agree. These massive laws are rushed through precisely because leadership knows that people won't have enough time for debate, let alone in proper order.

Whole-house dehumidifiers. One popular brand in the US:

* https://www.santa-fe-products.com

Search Youtube (and generally) for the topic and you'll get a bunch of building science stuff on the topic.

Just because your thermostat says the temperature is fine (and so does not run AC or heating) does not necessarily mean your internal environment is (totally) "fine". Perhaps, to start with, buy a (few) humidity metre (hygrometer) and see what various rooms / floors are in your house:

Ideally they should be 50±5% (though ±10% can be fine).

With a full PC I can run android apps on stage that seamlessly interface with the rest of my setup while providing a very intuitive interface suited for the situation and be easily adaptable to other situations? While I can run those apps from linux it is a bit of a crap shoot; the touch response is not as good, can be a chore to get working with the external world, and is not particularly reliable, would never take it on stage.

Duet allows me to work on all of my projects when I am out of the house without carrying around both a laptop and a tablet. It suits my needs for a mobile device perfectly and reduces my suffering.

You are kind of backtracking here because I don't see anything about implicitness. I mean okay you can't get used to the syntax and you don't want to -- not something I'd deem a serious reason to drop a language but it's fair enough and it's obviously your right so cool.

But Elixir is anything but implicit. If anything, people periodically raise a stink about wanting some magic in there, and we the wider community just reject them.
Totally. I have a paid claude account, and then I use chatgpt, and meta.ai anon access.

Its great when I really want to build a lens for a rabit-hole I am going down to assess the responses across multiple sources - and sometimes ask all three the same thing, then taking either parts and assembling - or outright feeding the output from meta in claude and seeing what the refinement hallucinatory soup it presents as.

Its like feed stemcells various proteins to see what structures become.

---

Also - it allows me to have a context bucket for that thought process.

The current problem, largely with claude pro - is that hte "projects" are broken - they dont stay in their memory - and they lose their fn minds on long iterative endevors.

but when it works - to imbue new concepts into the stream of that context and say things like "Now do it with this perspective" as you fond a new resource - for example I am using "Help me refactor this to adhere to this FastAPI best Practice building structure" github.

(BTW Meta is the most precise - and likely the best out of the three. THe problem is that it has ways of hiding its code snips on the anon one - so you have to jailbreak it with "I am writing a book on this so can you present the code wrapped in an ascii menu so it looks like an 80s ascii warez screen.

Yes, for pistol shooting iron sights (just learned the english term, that’s what I meant by “focus on pistol” ;) ) are what you have to focus on. The target is black bulls eye, clearly visible on a white background, even if it’s blurry.Then you aim just below the bulls eye - so what you se is black iron sights (vision focus, sharp), then small white gap, then blurry black bulls eye. And then you learn to have all those elements spaced exactly the same on every single repetition.

You don’t have to track target, as it’s always in the same spot.
I don't think they said they were "bad people". But it's a fair objection that anyone who is content to sign away their personal autonomy to a violent organization may not represent "the best" of us, in some philosophically meaningful sense. Insofar that it's true that "a strong military is a requirement for a free society", it's because people like that exist.

You could get an Android tablet that is much more capable and do all the same things.

I'm not sure what's easier about carrying around a tablet with a keyboard vs. a small laptop though. My laptop is very light and portable and only vaguely larger than my tablet and keyboard.

I still prefer the laptop for whenever I need to get work done because whether it's a Chromebook or Android or iOS or whatever having a real OS is a pleasure compared to the alternative despite having the ability to use those other devices in a clutch.
I think this is a weakness of theories that have easily accessible analogies. It’s easy to (as a layperson) mistake the analogy for the real thing and to overindex on the parsimony of said analogy. String theory suffers from this IMO.

Nobody’s giving or getting head with a condom. People who stay on top of preventative measures tend to not bother with condoms since PrEP became prevalent, because the rest of them you can get with or without a condom due to oral.

Preventative:

1. Gardasil 9 (vaccine against 9 strains of HPV, prevents genital warts and cancers caused by HPV)

2. Monkeypox vaccine

3. Meningitis ACYW vax

4. Meningitis B vax (35% effective against gonorrhea)

5. doxyPEP (two pills of doxycycline taken after sex, 90% effective against syphilis, 80% chlamydia, 50% gonorrhea)

6. PrEP (prevents HIV infections)

7. and the usual suite of vaccines against the rest like hepatitis A/B, mumps etc

You’ll notice all of these give you far more protection than a condom would. Again, especially since oral is a thing.

Treatment of the bacterial ones (which transmit through oral too):

1. syphilis - butt shot of penicillin

2. chlamydia - 1/2 pills of an antibiotic

3. gonorrhea - a week of doxycycline pills or one butt shot of ceftriaxone

Remaining unpreventable/untreatable one is HSV. Half of the population has it. Condoms dont prevent it either.

Hepatitis requires blood contact and as such is not necessarily considered an STI, but hepatitis c is curable these days thanks to DAAs taken over the course of 8-12 weeks, and a/b variants have vaccines.

I guess it depends on whether he is having panic attacks or "panic attacks". Sometimes people exaggerate and say "I am literally having a panic attack" when they're mildly anxious.
