If you read the Gaurdian article that someone linked the confirmation was needed because his remains were transported under some secrecy multiple times.

Originally he was buried in Hispaniola where today is the city of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.

Motivated by fear of their destruction, they were moved to Cuba in 1795 under secrecy when France took over the island following several revolts.

When Spain lost the Spanish-American war and ceded Cuba in 1898 they were then transported to Seville.

Various conspiracy theories arose that the remains were never truly moved out of Santo Domingo, fueled by the fact that the remains in Seville were only partial and hand bones were found in a box in Santo Domingo with an inscription claiming they belonged to Columbus.

The researchers note that the hand bones could also be authentic with his remains split between Spain and the Dominican Republic.
Well so this is for classical fields, where the standard model is a quantum field theory. So it will effectively follow the Schrodinger equation with the corresponding Hamiltonian from this Lagrangian. There are a lot of complications though, so I don't believe you will be able to just plug the Standard Model Hamiltonian in like this. Renormalization complicates things. You can do numerical simulations for certain parts of the Standard Model, specifically quantum chromodynamics (QCD), using lattice QCD, but that's not something I have experience with, so I can't speak to how easy that is to implement.

When public health measures turn into "hello, we're now making your life worse" then yes, I am against them.

Imagine you drink coffee your whole life. You rely on it. Now your government comes in and goes "coffee is now illegal, you're welcome!!!"

It changes your life against your wishes and you can't do anything about it. The only action that realistically works is preemptive - don't let coffee become disliked enough to enact such a ban. That's why people argue against it. Principles such as "people should be free to make their own choices" aren't values our society cares about. (Important to remember: it's popular to hate on things everyone else hates on, so you gotta keep it under a critical mass.)

>Is there a citation for this claim?

Asking for a citation doesn't make sense. You know damn well there isn't one. Nobody is going to credibly announce that their goal is to ban something popular, because that would make it harder for them to force that change on you. It's done piece by piece. Maybe the people that start it don't even want a ban, but it eventually escalates.

But logical reasoning can explains it too: people support public transport for climate reasons. Why would they not want you to make 'the right choice' like them?
>Therefore, (think about the birthday paradox, doesn't matter how many people in the world, a few dozen in the room with you is an adequate sample), it should not surprise you that statistical significance is achieved through a much smaller sample size than most non-statisticians have intuition for.

This response on the supposed the lack of importance of a sample size is completely wrong on just about every claim. The parent comment had a valid point. Just because a population may fit a certain distribution, does not mean that any given sample size will also fit that distribution. Samples are used to ideally create a representative group of a population, that is smaller than the population. However, the sample size required to come close to a representative distribution can vary between populations and variables being examined. Also, using the birthday paradox is a terrible example and has nothing to do with statistical significance, as the so-called birthday paradox is just a simple function.

> colocating database data by time, providing "sooner than" comparisons.

If you need to perform date/time related operations, use date/time related data types, not an unrelated type that happens to have some arbitrary timestamp embedded in its binary layout.

> Integers are monotonic but can't be distributed like UUIDs.

Yes, use UUIDs if you need distribution, use integers if you need monotonicity. If you need "monotonic and distributed", you need an external authority for proper distribution of those IDs. Then, an integer would still work.
Can you elaborate on the distinction you’re trying to draw? I’m confused why the word diet would apply to one but not the other. They both seem like diets to me. Not as in fad diet, but as in restricted composition of food choices.
There are indications he may have been raised Jewish, and later converted to Catholicism. Or, converted but still close to Judaism.

His choice to set sail for the New World on August 2, 1492, the exact date ordained for the expulsion of Jews from Spain does suggest he may have not converted yet.

Further, It's also known that the family profession was weaving, a traditionally Jewish profession at the time and that Jewish given names like Abraham and Jacob were common in the family of Columbus' mother.

One of the hypothesis from the dna analysis says:

> hypothesis proposes that Columbus was a Jew from the Mediterranean port city of Valencia. His obscure early life, according to this theory, can be explained by the fact that he sought to hide his Jewish background to avoid persecution by the fervently Catholic Spanish monarchs.

Pretty much everyone has ideas and opinions on teaching and what would work. It is easy to tell when such opinions are made by people with no experience teaching. In the same way a professional carpenter can tell when some wood work was done in an amateurish way.

Why do teachers do things the way they do? Is it because they are mostly stupid, incompetent people who haven’t thought as much about their job as amateurs have? Everyone has “the solution” but, yet, that great insightful idea doesn’t take off. Is it a conspiracy on our part? Perhaps it’s because that solution doesn’t work at scale.
>>> I'm willing to bet this is within human baselines but either way, researchers really need to start including human baselines in these kinds of papers.

99% translation dictionaries and grammars from what I have seen. AI does not really translate, it does not understand the context but can sort of fake understanding the languages in a very technical sense which works well enough when you don't know the language at all but loses all the nuance.

Edit: 99% is a bit hyperbolic, AI has a good amount of human translations to work off of as well which helps it with idiomatic/figurative language but it is still not translating, just playing the odds.

Good comment except for the first word. Obviously cars enable all sorts of movement and economic activity, so why not just admit it? The rest of your comment is just talking about how rail may do all those things to a greater extent than cars. You don’t need to deny benefits of cars, it doesn’t bolster your arguments. Better to just be honest and then extol the virtues of rail and other transportation methods.

It adds a wild irony to the story considering he's responsible for the expansion of the Spanish and introduced Catholicism to an entire continent.

> Japan's shinkansen

They have dedicated tracks. In Germany all train lines (freight, local trains, long-distance trains) share the same tracks and especially at different speeds this causes delays and problems.

Building new track or even adding more lanes is extremly difficult because of NIMBY's and from 1995 to 2005 switches and extra lanes for overtaking where build back to save costs.

Additionally signalling is in large parts still very labour intensive and smaller tracks are often still running with technology from the early 20th century and late 19th century.

So the problem Deutsche Bahn has to solve is quite a bit harder than shinkansen.

Isn’t the best customer service:

Cost to Solve < Remaining LTV * Profit Margin

In other words, do the details matter? If the customer leaves because you don’t take a fraudulent $10 return, but he’s worth $1,000 in the long term, that’s dumb.

You might think that such a user doesn’t exist. Then you’d be getting the details wrong again! Example: Should ISPs disconnect users for piracy? Should Apple close your iCloud sub for pirating Apple TV? Should Amazon lose accounts for rejecting returns? Etc etc.

A business that makes CS more details oriented is 200% the wrong solution.
You are getting a well-deserved correction to your ignorance of political forces that might result from perceived threats to the oil and gas industry.

I want to comment on a separate thing, about responsibility for the measurement, that’s in your second paragraph.

Developing the spectroscopic measurement of methane from space took a lot of time and engineering skill. (I happened to observe some of this work as part of $dayjob.) In the US, the responsibility for developing novel space measurement technology has historically gone to NASA.

It is proven in space (raised to “TRL 9” in the jargon) by NASA, and then transitioned to other sectors, like NOAA or USGS, for operational use. The prioritization and maturation is very well developed at this point.

Part of the reason it rests with NASA is that systems for spectroscopic measurement of gases (in this example) are also used for other space missions, e.g. planetary and astrophysics. For instance, some of the team of this methane instrument overlaps with the MISE team that will use spectroscopy for Europa https://europa.nasa.gov/spacecraft/instruments/mise/). Besides sharing personnel and knowledge, I believe some of the sensor hardware for MISE and for that in OP was fabricated at the same facility.

Thanks for pointing that out. To clarify, the text and ideas are entirely mine, though I do use tools to help structure my thoughts sometimes. I’m here to learn from feedback like yours, and I’m genuinely trying to improve my understanding of the field.

I understand that the way I explain things might come off differently compared to more seasoned security professionals, and I’ll work on improving the system that as I continue learning. I’m very hands-on in my approach, from testing to developing, and the feedback I’m receiving is helping me see where I can improve, especially in how I communicate technical concepts.

I appreciate the constructive criticism, and I’ll keep working to make sure I’m approaching things with the depth and accuracy expected in the field. Thanks for the advice!

The vast majority of students never ask, “what if…” The vast majority just want to know the mechanics of doing the problems well enough to pass the test. At the time a student is taking Calculus 1 they don’t ask questions about why it works. They just want to know, for instance, the rules of differentiation. Later in life, when they have intellectually matured, videos like 3Blue1Brown are interesting and fascinating. The vast majority of students would not learn well from 3Blue1Brown type videos.

Being able to do anything with the remaining bits is very useful.

You can do any scheme that suits your individual features needs, and it will be a valid UUID still.

This also means future schemes can be implemented right now without having to get a formal UUID version.

You could use the first few bits to indicate production vs qa vs dev data.

Or a subtle hint to what it might be for (eg is this UUID a product identifier or a user identifier or a post or a comment etc). Similar to how AWS etc prefix IDs with their type.

> For example, imagine a client that can generate a UUID and at a later time save that to remote database.

DBs can return inserted data to you; Postgres and SQLite can return the entire row, and MySQL can return the last generated auto-increment ID.

> Or imagine two separate databases that get merged.

This is sometimes a legitimate need, yes, but it does make me smirk a bit since it goes against the concept of microservices owning their own domain (which I never thought was a great idea for most). However, it’s also quite possible to merge DBs that used integers. Depending on the amount of tables and their relationships (or rather, lack of formally defined ones) it may be challenging, but nothing that can’t be handled.

I mostly just question the desire to dramatically harm DB performance (in the case of UUIDv4) for the sake of undoing future problems more easily.
I mean baselines to match how the LLMs are being tested in whatever paper (as best as possible). In this case, average scores on the unaltered benchmark and then average scores on each modified benchmark to indicate how much on average human performance drops introducing these details.

A "hey, you got that wrong. check again" is fine if the LLMs in the paper are also being prompted that way.
1) Learning about Attachment Theory was a breakthrough; it explains everything about my behavior, relationships, and life choices. It also suggests a method for change and ongoing personal development. Here are some books on Attachment Theory:

2) It's harder to make friends as you get older. Most friendships are built on an ongoing shared experience that is challenging, such as being in school together. Most of my adult-onset friendships are a result of having worked in small startup companies that were struggling to survive. Casual meetings of potential friends are much less likely to generate the energy and commitment for developing a friendship. If you're interested in the research on this, look into the work of Robin Dunbar, e.g.,

Is Texas "coming to terms" with it, though? Cars don't scale infinitely but are also way more flexible than rail lines could ever be.

But you can just build offices and manufacturing facilities all around the state instead, avoiding the creation of single bottlenecks.
Disclaimer: my experience with Emacs is limited. I've only used it because it's the path of least resistence to learn Lisp.

So for me it would be: everything that makes Lisp programming easier, like:

- Use a Lisp implementation that's not tied to the editor.

- Slime/Sly + Quicklisp functionality out of the box.

- Integrated syntax awareness, preferably "syntax directed" for programming.

There is more, but it'll be obvious (like updated defaults and looks) unless you want to make an outright clone, or at least a direct replacement option, I wonder if that's what you mean: "rewriting Emacs" seems to suggest it is.

It's difficult. These big old projects like Emacs, and Lisp itself, have both succeeded and failed. There are features that made them last decades and others that made them stop attracting new users. How to capture the appealing parts without reproducing the quirks?
