Fully agree! Years ago, I attended a course where we basically did just that. (For extra fun: I also attended a parallel computing course at the time, where 90% of our exercises turned out to be heat distribution simulation on a toy cluster. Both courses ended up being back-to-back in adjacent rooms)

Modeling solid or even soft bodies as simple spring-mass-damper systems is surprisingly straight forward and gets impressive results fast. Getting results that are numerically stable, is a bit of a step up from there. IIRC the step up to rigid body simulation was a tough one, but mainly because of the annoying collision detection & handling logic. It's a bonanza of trade offs and everything you do essentially has different classes of issues. Keeping track of both performance and stability is bit of a PITA. I'd guess that's also your main difference between doing just 2D vs 3D, all of the other math should be the exact same.

I remember we did a strange detour into Navier-Stokes equations and 2D fluid simulation towards the end, which I'd argue was a much bigger step up. I ended up the only one with a (very slow but working) solution, having asked a friend with a physics degree for help.

We did some little project assignments at the end where I implemented a simple height map based water surface simulation[1]. Another surprisingly simple little project I recommend trying, that also yields impressive results fast.

I recall another guy who implemented cloth simulation and ran into massive problems with the numeric stability. Turns out, doing straight forward spring-mass-damper systems with Euler integration literally explodes in your face all the time. Multi step Runge-Kutta is of course much more stable, but again, requires a lot of tweaking to get up to reasonable speed.

Yes, that is a very interesting point. You are very right though, that the trend has changed and there's a pressure now. I don't think your own experience is necessarily a bad thing. It's best to stick with your own ideals rather than bend to the will of others.

That view itself is subjective and isn't shared by everybody.
I think you could also argue for some sort of setting that adds additional optimisations based on type hints, but it would have to default to off.
I use CLI heavily but some tasks GUI suits better and TUI is a middle ground between GUI and CLI - you can continue using your terminal emulator with you favorite font but have a GUI like interface. Also all TUI applications I've used have low response time. Most GUI apps are also has fast interface (most of the time) but all frustratingly slow apps I've used were GUI apps.

I know this is well-intentioned, but please keep this stuff out of health threads about serious health conditions. This kind of material lacks rigor, dramatically misrepresents the state of scientific and medical thought, cherry picks studies, overstates the effect sizes and passes off speculation and easily digestible explanations (for laypeople) as emerging medical truths.

Long-term sufferers of RA - and the people in their support networks - know first-hand that RA is a complex and progressive condition that requires some pretty hardcore medical interventions to manage. Like other auto-immune diseases, different people will experience different disease courses. A very small few will be lucky enough that their disease goes into remission for no clear reason. Others will try everything under the sun only to see their disease become worse and worse. The reality for sufferers is that there aren't quick fixes and simple triggers.

It's reasonable to expect that general lifestyle interventions such as healthier diet and the right type of exercise regime may improve symptoms within the margins permitted by the underlying disease process. But promoting content that centers the role of "lifestyle" once RA has already developed only trivializes the disease and widens the empathy gap that sufferers already face.

> contradicts the advice to only move an item once

This would have to be wrong.

This would ban laundry hampers, dirty clothes would go straight into the machine.

I think the rule would be if you pick up the item from the “take-off” point it goes away.

You have to be able queue things before the clean. OP isn't cleaning, they are constructing the queue. You would be allow to move from queue to queue I guess, but you'd have to make sure there can't be a topographical loop.
Did we watch the same movie? They got bunch of physics stuff right, like the water planet, the relative aging due to being near the massive black hole etc. Only thing that wasn't "correct" was the wormhole and especially the tesseract, but that was some creative writing which allowed for a nice twist. I enjoyed it, a nice scifi.
> I would think they're only supposed to just touch, with no gap, no overlap.

Because of variations on how software terminals and GUIs render fonts, this is very tricky. That’s why so many terminal programs take over box-drawing characters and implement the glyphs themselves. This way the glyphs defined by the font are a rendering failsafe and it’s sometimes better to not even implement them and leave it to the systems font substitution mechanisms.

Hardware terminals had fixed vertical spacing, which made alignment much easier.
It's often the intentions that matter. Doing X may not be a crime, but doing it with the intention to commit crime could be. And while outsiders can't know the true intentions, courts are often happy accept the intentions seen by a "reasonable person" as the truth. Which means that if you want to write malware, you should look like a respectable person and not do anything too shady.
I think there’s some context around this. It used to be every once in a while there would be a study or news story about how moderate drinking would actually improve health (“Drinking may be good for you!”).

That has largely been debunked, though.

A few thoughts on keys:

I am consciously trying to whittle down my keychain to reduce the chance of temporary losing access to things. I have a keypad door lock so I’be been able to get rid of my front door key.

However, I found that decreasing the use of something can increase the chance of losing it, because you’re not “touching” it all the time and not aware of its location.

I have an Airtag, but wish that it could be integrated into the car keyfob to whittle down the size even more.

I think I also do most of these. Clothes in FIFO queues, except I have three queues for T-shirts, for best, decent, and doing housework quality. Stick a post-it note on my glasses or shoes to remind me to do something. Or use a weird item to jog my memory if I don't have a post-it to hand. Leave medication out on the bathroom sink if I need to use it the next morning. Leave the bedroom wastepaperbasket on the bed if the bins need to go out later. And the takeoff points someone else suggested - things to go downstairs pile up at the top of the stairs, things to go to he kitchen pile up on the cupboard by the kitchen door, etc.

On clothes, I suggest a FIFO order, then occasionally garbage collect from the out end to identify clothes you haven't worn in a long time and keep skipping over when it's time to dress. Get rid of them or move them into cold storage.
Network security is one of the most critical priorities in the digital world. Ensuring network security involves not only protecting against external attacks but also detecting suspicious activities occurring internally. Effective network traffic monitoring and SSH tunneling detection are crucial in achieving this. Techniques like tunneling can be used to bypass security measures or leak data. In this article, we will develop a security tool using Python to monitor live network traffic and detect SSH tunneling activities.

Until last year I spent 10 years working for a large dating company with millions of members.

There are a few big issues.

1 - Scammers. I’d be surprised if even 1 in 100 female profiles were real. Where maybe 1 in 1000 male profiles were scammers. We had all sorts of ways to detect and ban scammers but it was bad.

2 - Payments are high risk. High chargeback rates, loads of scammer transactions where they’re testing cards, etc. it can be hard even signing up a payment processor.

3 - Less and less people are willing to actually pay for dating services on the web. Especially for that < 30 age range. Tinder / Bumble really dominate that scene.

And if you get into Adult/Casual dating multiply all of the issues x10. And good luck finding a payment processor who isn’t terrible.

You'd have to give me an example.

If less training performs better, it's because it's overfitting. In the case of NLP/CV you, in general, cannot really "overfit" because most of the goal isnt predictive, but rather representational -- so training=templating, rather than predicting. In these cases training for longer should mostly improve the quality of the output, since there isnt any ground truth to overfit against.

+1, but one thing about So Clover is that not really any game in it. It's more of an activity. A very engaging activity, and one that has worked with every group I've tried it on, gamers and non-gamers alike, and my current #1 choice if I was asked to bring some games to some non-gaming social event.

What I mean by there not being a game to it is that there's no winning or losing, or even evaluating success. Everyone gives their best clues (by some metric; sometimes people optimize for fun rather than clarity), you solve the boards and get a score, but the score is totally meaningless. It can't even be compared across sessions.

It turns out to be quite hard to add a game into it. I thought about the problem for a year before deciding that there was no viable way to do it within the constraints of the physical game, and it'd need to be online. For the last few weeks I've been working on an async online word-game inspired by So Clover, where one of the tihngs I wanted to do was to add an actual game (as a competitive mode), and so far the feedback from my playtesters has been that they're not interested in any of those plans, and just want to use it as a chill word game sandbox and share puzzle links over WhatsApp. (The site isn't ready for public consumption, but if anyone here wants to try the game out with some friends, hit me up with an email and I'll send you a link.

One of the small wins in my life was actually using up a Bic Crystal pen, without losing or breaking it. Took maybe a decade, as I don't really write that much anymore, but it lasted through 3 or 4 moves and some commuting.

My kid did a Minecraft coding group. It started with a mod that had a rollercoaster on it. They taught you how to to modify it in exercises. My kid tapped out pretty fast, I came to the conclusion they liked Minecraft, but the experience of coding it was a whole other matter.

Ironically, when I was a kid I used to read the code of computer games out of curiosity and that's exactly what got me into programming.
Well, when guests put the "do not disturb" sign on the door, hotels should respect their wishes, right? If I put that sign on the door and then find out that my room was entered nevertheless, I would also think really hard before booking a room at that hotel (chain) again, not because I had something to hide, but out of principle. Also, what are they hoping to find? An unlocked laptop with some kind of hacking software running? I don't think hackers worth their salt would be so naive (except maybe if they leave the laptop there as a "honeypot")?

Industrial knitting machines seem to have their own proprietary design systems, for instance Shima Seiki sends people to Japan to learn the system. I would bet many compete on their software offerings — essentially these are industrial manufacture control systems, but they include design features, too.

YouTube wants you to transition to Premium because it is more profitable for them; they earn less with selling ads on the CPM and the CPC basis than they get from Premium. And they are pretty intrusive about it e.g. when you watch videos and you exit the YouTube app and shortly after that come back, pop-up says: "Wish videos kept playing when you closed the app?", "Get background play with YouTube Premium". Also when comments are disabled by content creators on music videos, they sort of hijack comments section and say: "Listen on YouTube Music", "Timed lyrics, sleep timer and more". Plus on top of that, they also got pretty aggressive with blocking ad-blockers....so definitely they want you to purchase and transition to YouTube Premium.

> there needs to be some causal connection between the two

Umm.. No, there doesn't... This idea features in the earlist 20th C. writings on statistics, but it's pseudoscience.

If one carves up the whole history of the entire universe into all possible events, then there's likely to be a (near) infinite number of pairs of events which "perfectly" co-vary without any causal connection whatsoever. Indeed, one could find two galaxies that are necessarily causally isolated and find correlated events.

This is, in part, because the properties of two casually independent systems can have indistinguishable distributions -- just by the nature of what a distribution is.

It's this sort of thinking that I was aiming to rule out: really they have nothing to do with each other. It's early 20th C. frequentist pseudoscience that has given birth to this supposed connection, and it should be thrown out all together.

Causation is a property of natural systems. Correlation is a property of two distributions. These have nothing to do with each other. If you want to "test" for causation, you need to have a causal theory and a causal analysis in which "correlation" shouldn't feature. If you induce correlation by causal intervention, i'd prefer we gave that a different name ("induced correlation") which is relevant to causation -- and it's mostly this confusion which those early eugenticists that created statistics were talking about.

Hi Tom,
I like your website. We have many interests in common. When I first had kids, I wanted to home-school them. After 5 years, I changed my mind. They take up so much time and effort that I feel that I can be there for them MORE when I send them to school!

With all your interests and entusiasm, I am sure your kids will do really well at many things. There is no need to push them too fast. I found that the teachers at my school sometimes know more about education than I do.

My advice would be yes persue those books you are looking for, but consider finding the best school for your family over the next couple of years. Time apart (from parents), and kids coming to understand society by being a part of it are also important for them.

All the best,

GWTP

While I agree, that ship seems to have sailed for the time being. There will be a lot of very dubious code for the coming years/decade. Currently using Claude Projects or Copilot Workspace, you can write fully working software, but every time you ask for a change, it will double up, mess up etc some part of the code. You can just ask to fix it, but if you have the following:

- fix A please

- hmm, ok A fixed, B broken; fix B please

- hmm, ok B fixed, A now a bit broken, fix A please

- A & B working

But when you check the code, you often see that it wrote code for A that broke B, then it fixed B while leaving the code for A, now basically dead code but not necessarily detectable. Then it wrote code for A, again, after the code of B and the user thinks all is fine as it works. And this happens 1000x / day in normal projects.

I see it everywhere. Good for me (my company troubleshoots and fixes code/systems), but not for the world.
