Many tens of thousands of people have studied quantum chromodynamics (and related experimental results) enough that they understand there is a scaling problem in the proton: the more energy you use to probe a proton the more internal structure is revealed. We're orders of magnitude away from being able to probe proton structure at scales where "the problem of time" arises in any practical sense.

You haven't studied QCD or much high-energy physics, but you can improve your understanding of the proton starting with this excellent recent article by Matt Strassler: https://profmattstrassler.com/2024/07/22/the-standard-model-...

> "our assumption of time: that it's a level straight stream that flows forward"

That's not an assumption anyone who's studied physics would recognize, except (being generous) to the extent they read about the history of physical equations before about 1910 which were parametrized by "absolute time", and which have been superseded by relativistic equivalents.

There is no single "assumption" about time; time is treated very differently in different candidates for a fundamental physical theory (and differently again in theories that aren't fundamental; non-fundamental means that although bulk behaviour might be completely and accurately described, it emerges from microscopic behaviour not dealt with in detail by the non-fundamental theory -- examples include Navier-Stokes and Bloch's theorem).

Since no later than the second decade of the 1900s (in the aftermath of de Broglie 1923) it's been known that at some energy scale lengths and durations stop making sense, and since the 1970s (in the aftermath of Wilson 1975) it's been known why they stop making sense, from a mathematical perspective. In the 1960s, DeWitt (and Wheeler) were already pointing out that (as it later was proven) there is a problem with the treatment of the temporal dimension (and causal structure) in relativistic quantum mechanics. This has lead to more attempts at building new physical theories than you're likely to imagine, mostly but not exclusively in quantum gravity. It has also lead to considerable philosophy and foundations of physics work, largely but not entirely swept up in "the problem of time".

There is a huge body of related literature available for you to read at your leisure, and people who would happily engage with you and take your thoughts seriously once you're underway.
The G7 no longer has the highest share of the global GDP, and its percentage is dropping fast.

BRICS are now trading directly with each other through their own bank, with their own version of SWIFT, etc. They can have access to the largest share of the world GDP while ignoring sanctions and not having to use US dollars or euros.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionizing_radiation :

>Exposure to ionizing radiation causes cell damage to living tissue and organ damage.

>Gamma rays, X-rays, and the higher energy ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum are ionizing radiation, whereas the lower energy ultraviolet, visible light, nearly all types of laser light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves are non-ionizing radiation

In other words, the UV causes cancer because it's in the ionizing range of the spectrum. Radio waves don't because they're not.
Pandas compatibility as input and output will remain. Not sure what's in doubt here.
MOST development jobs aren't in the software industry, even those that build out enterprise level systems. For example, my employer is a logistics optimization company. Software drives our business, but the truth is it's just scaling an operation that COULD be done by hand. Software isn't our product, our product is really domain knowledge. That said, we spend a substantial amount on development and AWS. (including part time or contract hires when the situation required it)
Neat!

I've been using Home Assistant for this in the past, although I've disabled it since it seems to report every single tracking point via the network, which isn't great for battery life (or alternatively leads to very coarse tracking). I've been looking for something that does effectively the same thing, but aggregates updates and only syncs them every once in a while.

Regarding this section of the readme:

Does that still work, given that Google seems to have started end-to-end encrypting their location history?

The problem is that economists love to ascribe meaning and make confident statements about causality in order to promote personal ideology rather than let the models speak for themselves. These models predict behavior within a narrow range of conditions, but that doesn't tell you anything about the underlying systems. You can model any function over a restricted domain using polynomials, but that doesn't mean that polynomial function is the ground truth of the universe.

So basically, the questions are: Why attempt a daunting SSTO exercise when we have first stage landings now? How has the situation been improved relative to previous proposals that were judged unfruitful in an era when first stage landings didn't exist? What secret has been unlocked, what novel method has been created? Why is this project different from the last ten projects?

> The wings give it aerodynamic lift up to (I guess) about 30 km altitude, far more efficient than fighting gravity using the engines alone.

Far more efficient at fighting gravity? Gravity losses, aerodynamic losses, and structural mass fraction are tightly coupled tradeoffs, but the longer you spend in atmosphere the more aero losses you accumulate; Glide ratio isn't free. Rockets get up to hypersonic velocity where there's little benefit to trying to take advantage of aerodynamics or utilize control surfaces if it increases drag, very quickly.
They can be right on things, wrong on others. Its a big organization.

No. Moderation is about allowing objectionable content at all (or at the very least putting up roadblocks to passive consumption). It's different from allowing objectionable content, letting users seek it out but not promoting it. And it's yet another thing than not only allowing it, but also proactively putting it in front of somebody's eyeballs.
There are better solutions than that. Off the top of my head, on Linux, you could get what the article is asking for by doing a readlink on /proc/self/exe.

The crappy software exists because the people who write it don't have any idea what they're doing. And the reason for that is that the people who found companies in the security space have discovered that nobody can tell whether their products really work or not, so they can save money on talent and training.

This assumes Ballmer is cheating, rather than just behaving adversarially but within the rules.

If we accept cheating is allowed, we can also potentially accept other 'cheating' scenarios where the player repeatedly punches Ballmer in the face until he discloses the number, thus winning. Or where the player just refuses to pay at the end.

IMO the problem is only interesting if we assume any form of cheating isn't allowed.
Is this part of LE training? I'm an attorney. I had a client who was a detective. He must have asked me 50 times about the same thing, varying slightly the order of the facts, hoping I suppose he'd catch me giving a different answer. I don't think he like the answer because it cost him money but it was what it was.
The way I was approaching it was from the maintainer perspective where I want to engage with the community of stargazers. My experience with that has been fairly good and folks are responsive.

I had a friend who used the original script to reach out to a repo similar to what he was hoping to build and actually got a lot of good feedback as well, so from the small sample size it has generally been positive.

To give a way to protect against potential abuse, I created a form on the homepage where anyone can be asked to be excluded from a StarHog list. Though I am open to hearing suggestions if you might have any as well.
What is the likelyhood of a nonprogrammer to figure out how to self host this ?

And, same type of question, but in relation to email integration ?
Seems like the distribution definitely won’t be flat since the guesser can randomly choose any of the numbers from 37 to 64 as a first guess without losing anything on the large side, so Ballmer starting with any of those increases his chance of having to pay out the $5. Likewise for other numbers there are nuances to what can be guessed.

> EEVblog 1637: Solar Freakin' Space Mirrors! - Reflect Orbital DEBUNKED [1]

That seems like a kludge because space mirrors are still going leave lots of energy dumped wastefully into space. But even if we could collect all the Sun's energy, there's no way we could use it all and it'd just fry the planet.

The kind of disruption I was thinking about was re-engineering the Sun so it only produces the energy the Earth needs. There are great monetization opportunities, because the technology would almost certainly allow for charging subscription fees for sunlight.
I can't tell if this is tongue in cheek or not...
That's the response: doing as you suggest mitigates global warming, but does nothing to reduce consumption of fossil fuels, which is the actual half-hidden goal of all serious efforts to mitigate global warming. This is also why CCS went nowhere.
I'm not sure if you read the article in question - but it is literally interviewing Fama (the person who coined the term "efficient market hypothesis) about ways markets continue to be inefficient.

Regardless of how much efficiency there is or is not, it's still a good theoretical framework for understanding markets. No one assumes the cost of a wheat future is a completely made up number so obviously there is some efficiency.

Apologies, I have to nitpick: Of course they can't both believe one thing and the opposite at the same time.

Now, believing something with zero supporting evidence or arguments, and plenty against it, is of course silly - but you still believe either/or. :)
I think all this ideological stuff is completely unrelated to the issue we started talking about. You can fine tune a large model on whatever data you want, and so you can also fine tune it on the most recent user inputs. You can do unsupervised fine-tuning btw, no need for human in the loop. It all depends on what you want to achieve.

Pandas support as input and output isn't going anywhere. People can continue to bring their pandas DataFrames to Ibis and run Ibis expressions against them.

> pandas made sense and might still make sense for many, especially who are migrating from R and are already comfortable with dataframe paradigm.

Yes, and nothing is different about the paradigm after the changes outlined in the blog post, it's still a dataframe paradigm.

> using the same paradigm and just saying "we run faster" does not solve the ergonomics or the reason why people adopted this way of processing data.

This seems to indicate you _do_ understand that the paradigm isn't changing but then does a complete 180 into complaining about Ibis not solving pandas ergonomics issues. Which is it?
Cool project. Would be nice that if you only input a repo name without / it autocompletes to repo_name/repo_name like other star gazer apps do

Nim comes bundled with a `nimgrep` tool [0], that is essentially grep on steroids. It has `-y` flag for style insensitive matching, so "fooBar", "foo_bar" and even "Foo__Ba_R" can be matched with a simple "foobar" pattern.

The other killer feature of nimgrep is that instead of regex, you can use PEG grammar [1]

It brings back memories: one of my favourite high level undergraduate course finals involved being given some instructions, printouts of sequence/primers/enzymes cleavage sites/other plasmids and a rough list of my resources and told to make a specific product. The exam was long answer essay writing out step by step instructions with rationale.

I did the whole thing and double checking realized I misread an initial sequence in the first few steps making the whole thing void and probably more or less difficult than intended. I added an oh shit disclaimer in my solution. The prof, a researcher, to his immense credit presumably took off some points but the point of the exercise was testing a skillset and I did excellent in the course. Basically how higher education should be and night and day difference from 1000/2000 level courses!

The number of devices doesn't really matter, but it does influence something like a duty cycle. It's all about power level, distance, and duty cycle. Sure, the cell phone antenna is going to transmit at something like 1kW, but its also significantly further away from you. Inverse-square law is a hell of a thing, so something being really close to you will end up imparting more effective energy than something far away.

Teams and communication were his everyday world.

The only people I've seen successfully pull this off are people who worked full time for years, then were able to negotiate a move to part-time.

Consulting is theoretically "part-time". I got by in college doing part-time consulting, but that's only because I knew the person running the business. In reality, the good part-time gigs are going to be projects that you worked on full-time, that then transitioned into maintenance.
So youuuuu’re the person who creates the obstacles to actually getting anything done at many of the organizations I have worked at.

“We only have 3 menu options of ways to do things” is great for creating hierarchies, and rarely works for actually creating any innovation.
You rock! This is very helpful, though as you point out it's difficult to separate higher death rates from the fact that certain driver types are drawn to certain cars.

One notable example:

Honda Civic 49 (29-69) 47 (28-65) 2019-20

Honda Civic hatchback 78 (26-130) 20 (0-44) 2019-20

I'd like to know what's happening with the data there that a small tweak in the model with almost no structural changes has a higher death rate. Maybe down to a lower sample (fewer sales of the hatchback) of more dangerous drivers
> How on earth does that indicate if a junior frontend dev can do their job or not?

Playing devil's advocate, maybe a junior frontend dev that doesn't trust that they understand what someone is asking for and pushes back on bits that should be obvious will perform better (in some contexts?) than one that doesn't.

For a junior role in particular, though, it really doesn't seem like that should be the threshold and it sounds like it was delivered poorly on top of that.
