DYI: Do Yourself In?

Jokes aside. Some things are definitely too high consequence for DIY - like a lot of electrical work. Even a proper sparky here wired the earth into the neutral, which makes the entire house a death trap.
Isn’t Hong Kong still somewhat independent with its own government, laws, etc?
It's a bit of a contradiction with the idea of a black hole, and brings the feature that you can observe its surface.
So, he didn't leave against medical advice. He was discharged. That's how anyone not leaving against medical advice leaves the hospital.

If you decide that you don't want care and you don't have a medical need for staying, then you can request to be discharged. A "voluntary" (air quotes) discharge, of sorts. This is simply called "being discharged".

This happened to a colleague recently. Had something stuck in his esophagus that he couldn't get out and couldn't get it to go down. Went to the ED. Puked it up like 20 minutes after being admitted. He asked to leave since he didn't need to be there anymore. He was discharged.

Does Apple have a comparable program?

I don't see a reference in the Apple materials about any bounty reward program for Apps vulnerabilities [1]. If this is true, then Google was going above and beyond and is now simply reverting to the mean so they can reduce any potentially excess financial spend. Maybe they don't actually care so much about their users after all? If they were shifting the limited funds to a more effective vehicle, they missed the prime opportunity to mention it (tongue in cheek, because Elgoog doesn't have real resource constraints).

"But black holes with a discernible charge have never been observed. It’s far more likely to see a black hole that’s quickly rotating."

Three properties completely describe a black hole: mass, spin, and charge.

It does not appear that charge will be useful in the question of an extremal black hole.

In considering spin, as velocity of matter approaches c (the speed of light), more energy is required to achieve less gain as c is approached.

Can a black hole spin at the speed of light? Can it spin faster?

The article has more to do with the economy than DIY itself. But I’m working on a system which makes wiring projects a lot simpler. This includes both high voltage (install a new outlet) as well as low (run Ethernet or speaker cable).

I think this system makes projects a lot more appealing on both cost (can reduce tools needed for a job) and safety (the system ensure code compliance).

Perhaps this type of innovation helps people not have to sit on the sidelines :)

>To understand the universe, scientists look to its outliers. “You always want to know about the extreme cases — the special cases that lie at the edge,”

Some of the books I've read recently touch upon things like quantum mechanics and black-holes and that kind of stuff.

As a decently technical person but with no formal training in physics, can I generally interpret the study of things like black-holes and quantum physics as the idea of understanding how the physical world behaves as we take limit towards zero or infinity? Is that a correct way to think about it?

For example, I've studied probability and statistics somewhat formally in undergrad. The idea that electrons taken on a distribution and are technically "nowhere" until they are observed (schrodingers cat) sounds just like the description of a continuous variable, or alternatively where you take limit on a discrete variable such that it approaches a continuous distribution. The probability of the variable being any value is technically 0 but its state can be observed. It's hard to "truly" comprehend in a realistic since but its what allows us to build statistical models of things

It’s not even that bad. If you go to Houston, there are plenty of parts which are so walking/transit focused you don’t need a car.

I’d argue the real reason people have cars is because if rent for a nice 1-bed only costs 700-1500 it doesn’t make sense to not also own a car. When people talk about a city that’s not “car-obsessed”, they’re usually referring to some place where even the wealthy can barely afford a car.

Just wondering how much the increased age would have contributed to differences between the two years.
It seems a bit presumptive to assume I’m unfamiliar with how DNS works. While it’s true that DNS traffic to your ISP is generally readable, using HTTPS still offers significant privacy benefits.

The problem isn't skill, it's liability.

If the insurance company doesn't see someone with a license doing the work, at best they'll screw you sideways with higher premiums and at worst refuse to insure you.

If the local government doesn't see someone with a license doing the work, they won't let you do anything else (eg: sell the house) until you get someone with a license to (re)do the work in a liable way.
I feel like if this was the case the truth wouldn’t come out this close to an election. It really just shows how inept the government can be.

the article does mention this:

> What can we conclude from this discovery? Before we conclude anything, we should remind ourselves of its limitations. The tests run were on completely random data. Truly random data seldom occurs in real life.

it's true that it's not a common case, but it's probably the simplest objectively justifiable case; any particular case of the others requires more elaborate justification for privileging it. why 90% sorted instead of 80%, say? or why do we give 20% weighting to the randomized-data case and 80% weighting to the 90%-sorted case, rather than some other weighting?

and it does at least guarantee exploration of a good part of the algorithm's behavior space. i mean, bogosort is optimal on fully-sorted data, right? as long as you do the check for sortedness before the random shuffle instead of after it

it's important that your sort not explode on mostly-sorted or mostly-reverse-sorted data (myers's 'bog-standard quicksort' uses the last element as the pivot and consequently goes quadratic), but beyond that, the particular weighting of relative importance to assign to random input vs. 99% sorted vs. 90% sorted vs. 90% reverse sorted—that requires some application-specific justification

aside from the ones you mentioned, another interesting case is a large array of records that all have equal keys. median-of-three quicksort or random-pivot quicksort does fine on mostly- or fully-sorted data, but still sucks when everything is equal!

I'm much less convinced than you are about the availability of accurate and detailed manuals. Which is why I keep steering the conversation to more murky engineering projects.

But I do want to circle back to say that I did at some point higher up gloss over the importance of things like torque and clearances. I'm not trying to say that those are things you can just intuit. Even if we could both probably dig up an old mechanic who tightens things by feel.
It’s easy to rationalize Google TC by looking at their balance sheet. Thanks to the work of Google employees it basically prints money. It’s only fair that they share in this success, since if Google could find someone cheaper, it would.

We can also assume that the p/q=√2 is already the simplest form of the fraction, since every fraction must have one, as in the first section of the article.

Then if we figure out that both p and q are even, it means that p/q can be simplified (by dividing p and q by 2), which contradicts the assumption about the simplest form - and we don't need to use the infinite descent.

Something I don't enjoy about remote/distributed locks is that unlike distributed transactions they're usually unable to provide any strict guarantees about things they protect.

E.g. if you algorithm is:

1) Hold the distributed lock

2) Do the thing

3) Release the lock

And the node goes dark for a while between steps 1 and 2 (e.g. 100% CPU load), by the time it reaches 2 the lock may have already expired and another node is holding it, resulting in a race. Adding steps like "1.1 double/triple check the lock is still held" obviously doesn't help because the node can go dark right after these and resume operation at 2. The probability of these is not too high, but still: no guarantees. Furthermore at a certain scale you do actually start seeing rogue nodes deemed dead hours ago suddenly coming back to life and doing unpleasant things.

The rule of thumb usually is "keep locks within the same transaction space as the thing they protect", and often you don't even needs locks in that case, just transactions can be enough by themselves. If you're trying to protect something that inherently un-transactional then, well, good luck because these efforts are always probabilistic in nature.

A good use-case for a remote lock would be when it's not actually used to guarantee consistency or avoid races, but merely tries to prevent duplicate calculations for cost/performance considerations. For all other cases I outright recommend avoiding them.

> I assume you're talking about Unity, is that correct

That particular project was Unity. Which, as you know, has a notoriously poor GC implementation.

It sure seems like there are a whole lot more bad GC implementations than good. And good ones are seemingly never available in my domains! Which makes their supposed existence irrelevant to my decision tree.

> good GC is vastly superior to RC+malloc/free

Ehhh. To be honest memory management is kind of easy. Memory leaks are easy to track. Double frees are kind of a non-issue. Use after free requires a modicum of care and planning.

> and can be matched by manually managing various arenas at much greater complexity cost, which is still an option in a GC-based language like C# (and is a popular technique in this domain).

Not 100% sure what you mean here.

I really really hate having to fight the GC and go out of my way to pool objects in C#. Sure it works. But it defeats the whole purpose of having a GC and is much much more painful than if it were just C.
I don't think this ensures that you've correctly wired downstream outlets.

From TFA

The extent to which microplastics cause harm or toxicity is unclear, although recent studies associated MNP presence in carotid atheromas with increased inflammation and risk of future adverse cardiovascular events2,3. In controlled exposure studies, MNPs clearly enhance or drive toxic outcomes4–6. The mantra of the field of toxicology – “dose makes the poison” (Paracelsus) – renders such discoveries as easily anticipated; what is not clearly understood is the internal dose in humans.

Unfortunately it these batteries are unable to multiple gigawatts over many hours of excess wind energy. It will be at least a decade before the battery energy storage systems are close to big enough to absorb the oversupply of wind energy that happens a few times a week.

Don't get me wrong. The BESS helps with frequency, synchronization and voltage issues. They just do very little to flatten the wind spikes without turning off 10-20% of the wind fleet.

Which is why you hire an electrician to come look it over. That's been the recommended route for electrical DIY since I've been searching stuff out on it.
I've noticed a lot of the world has no idea how little they matter relative to the opportunity cost they impose.

Like you see Karens complaining about their experience with something. They represent at most $100s of ARR. For a great engineer that means they should spend maybe 5 minutes looking into their issue and "helping". Sure, in aggregate it adds up. But on an N of 1, nope.

It makes common sense to some people that if they want a plumber to come look at their leak, they have to pay the person to even show up and look. Even if the plumber does nothing it's gonna be $100+

So, when someone complains about $20, or wastes more than a few minutes of time on easily google-able (chatgpt-able) stuff, they've lost my attention, because they cost more than they're worth.
