Infinite ASCII cats by means of teletype [video]
I'm not sure that holds when you take the speed of light to be infinite. Depending on which end you look at it, you'll either be dividing by zero or having infinite energy, so I don't think relativity the way we understand it would still make sense in any way.
You should be sorry for yourself with your sad patronizing attitude.
“Less ads than most android phones” is a low low bar. Try “less ads than a new Debian install” and then I’ll be interested. Until then.. no thanks, go pound sand.
Three days later, but “founder mode” to me is about purview. Maybe it’s the same thing though
> The principle of reality is first stated in general terms, leading to the idea of equivalent frames of reference connected through "inertial" transformations obeying a group law. [...] Only the Lorentz transformations and their degenerate Galilean limit obey these constraints.

> I will take as a starting point the statement of the principle of relativity in a very general form: there exists an infinite continuous class of reference frames in space-time which are physically equivalent. [...] no physical effects can distinguish between them.

Sounds like this entire paper is built on a foundation of assuming the laws of physics don't change based on speed. Am I misreading?

In that case, the paper proves that the Lorenz transforms are the only way to have both relativity and those rules, but they don't show that those rules by themselves imply relativity.

That part seems really hard to believe for me. The only time you should get charged at all is for prank calling. In fact, if you call and tell them and decide you don't need EMS after all they will in fact come anyways because they need to check on every call. And you will not get charged for that.

I hate when I'm having fun and accidentally make something useful :)
I am only getting to the space, but if I understand correctly the overview it is a tile server speaking HTTP, but it is not working like Protomaps, which do not need a separate tile server, just a regular HTTP server with range requests support.
Doesn’t this read like complete bullshit dreamed up by an LLM?
Do fresh Debian server installs have ads?
But enough about Windows.
If I am seen to go at [v_x, v_y, v_z] = [0.9, 0.9, 0.9]c, then I would be going at about 1.56c in the [1, 1, 1] direction, which is impossible.
I wish IPFS wasn't so wasteful with respect to storage. I tried pinning a 200mb PDF on IPFS and doing so ended up taking almost a gigabyte of disk space altogether. It's also relatively slow. However its implementation of global deduplication is super cool – it means that I can host 5 pages and you can host 50, and any overlap between them means we can both help one another keep them available even if we don't know about one another beforehand.

For a large-scale archival project, it might not be ideal. Maybe something based on erasure coding would be better. Do you know how LOCKSS compares?
the proxy/server accepts any API key. I expect people to copy this infra with their own domains, this is a working proof of concept.

Out of class evaluations doesn't mean electronic. It could be problem sets, essays, longer-form things like projects. All of these things are difficult to do in a limited time window.

These limited time-window assessments are also (a) artificial (don't always reflect how the person might use their knowledge later) (b) stressful (some people work better/worse with a clock ticking) and (c) subject to more variability due to the time pressure (what if you're a bit sick, or have had a bad day or are just tired during the time window?).
what about volume viscosity? or did "fluid" imply incompressible Hierarchies?

(IMX rapidly expanding Hierarchies do not [pace Landau] relax on a negligible time scale)
Military grade has different meanings. I’ve worked in the electronics industry a long time and will say with confidence that the pcbs and chips we sent to the military were our best. Higher temperature ranges, much more thorough environmental testing, many more thermal and humidity cycles, lots more vibration testing. However we also sell them for 5-10x our regular prices but in much lower quantities. It’s a failed meme in many instances as the internet uses it though.
Olympic weight plates for barbells. They're widely used, so competition has brought the cost down, and they're easily available in useful increments. I currently see 4x 10lbs for <$50 on Amazon. That works out to 2,53 Euro per kg. So cheaper than euro cents. They may not have the exact shape you need.

The scrap steel probably didn't cost cents per kg when it was sold for its original purpose. You are paying for a useful shape.

A professional equivalent of weighted vests are ballistic plate carriers. Real ballistic plates can be fragile and expensive, so options for exercising in (or milsim games in airsoft etc.) include expired (and failed to re-certify) real ballistic plates, made for purpose training plates... or plate shaped sandbags!
I have no proof of course, but the timing does give rise to valid reason for concern.

I don't give a fig about some company blog, but regardless, in an era where the internet is starting to forget, any situation like this causes hearts to sink.
> [...] lack of affordable new housing when new housing by definition is not affordable [...]

I'm sorry, but affordable (and newly built) housing, at least in Central Europe, where I live, is most certainly a thing. It's a question of building type, unit size, density, local infrastructure, government subsidies and the location overall. I can recommend taking a look at the housing market in cities such as Vienna. Newly built housing can be affordable and of a high quality.

Why that is a seeming impossibility in the US, I cannot say, though I have seen some, albeit more than likely somewhat biased, evidence that at least some forms of higher density, low-rise mixed-use building styles common in Central Europe are not possible in certain areas of the US due to zoning laws. Unless I am mistaken, I seem to remember that zoning legislation was something the LWT piece on the topic specifically pointed out as one of many parts of what is a multifaceted problem that needs to be approached as such.

Another area that is, according to reporting, very good on the front of providing newly built, affordable housing is Singapore, though I know no first-hand experiences (I have no friends currently residing in Singapore public housing) to truly contextualize whether the system there works as well as it appears to. In either case, though, new housing can be affordable if done right.

> They have been taught, and incentivized [...]

Ok, but if that is the case, then both new and old housing cannot be affordable. You are saying, new housing by definition is not affordable, then point out that, for historic reasons, owners expect their property to increase in value, making old/existing housing even less affordable.
My daughter was accused of turning in an essay written by AI because the school software at her online school said so. Her mom watched her write the essay. I thought it was common knowledge that it was impossible to tell whether text was generated by AI. Evidently, the software vendors are either ignorant or are lying, and school administrators are believing them.
It's on f-droid rather than google play.

I think for the people interested in using Syncthing rather than Dropbox or Google's syncing option, that's not _that_ much of a problem.
You can but it's nowhere near as elegant and natural.

Vue exposes ref(), .value, etc which personally I find to be just cognitive overhead.

With Svelte 5 you just use $state and don't need to care about the implementation details. Furthermore, thanks to the compiler approach, your Svelte code is not coupled with an internal API anymore.
Unfortunately with AI, AI detection, and schools its all rather Judge Dredd.

They issue the claim, the judgement and the penalty. And there is nothing you can do about it.

Why? Because they *are* the law.
I've been shouting at the void for years (https://gist.github.com/osy/45e612345376a65c56d0678834535166) about how TPM doesn't bring any practical security and was originally introduced for DRM then repurposed to sell "enterprise" security and now it's used as an excuse to force consumers to buy new PCs. TPM was designed by a committee who focused on designing the most secure gate without building a fence. There are many issues that Microsoft knew about for decades and never bothered to fix because security was never the goal.
The big advantage is that you do not need any extra space if your workload mostly consists of INSERTs (followed by table drops). And it's generally unnecessary to split up insertion transactions because there is no size limit as such (neither on the generated data or the total count of rows changed). There is a limit on statements in a transaction, but you can sidestep that by using COPY FROM if you do not have to switch tables too frequently. From a DBA point of view, there is no need to manage a rollback/undo space separately from table storage.

Every application is a bit different, but it's not that the PostgreSQL design is a loser in all regards. It's not like bubble sort.
The article mentions 'responsible' grammarly usage, which I think is an oxymoron in an undergraduate or high school setting. Undergrad and high school is where you learn to write coherently. Grammarly is a tool that actively works against that goal because it doesn't train students to fix the grammatical mistakes, it just fixes it for them and they become steadily worse (and less detail oriented) writers.

I have absolutely no problem using it in a more advanced field where the basics are already done and the focus is on research, for example, but at lower levels I'd likely consider it dishonest.
"Next-gen nuclear reactor company signs deal to build up to 12 reactors in Washington state", sorry to disappoint.
They might have been rude, but that's besides the point. Even if they could speak English you shouldn't expect them to be comfortable doing so. That actually seems pretty rude in itself to me.
The only longterm solution that makes sense is to allow students to use AI tools and to require a log provided by the AI tool to be provided. Adjust the assignment accordingly and use custom system prompts for the AI tools so that the students are both learning about the underlying subject and also learning how to effectively use AI tools.
I'm not sure what you mean open source and MSFT. I assumed you develop for Windows, why else would you use such an OS?

It's written in Rust.
Yeah that’s definitely not happening.
I agree. The similarity between black holes and our universe is striking. The fact that matter inside it can not be observed from outside opens possibilities for all kind of quantum states, which is maybe, just the configuration of a universe (for example that one we are living in).
Git for source code control. A notepad and pencil for listing out the TODOs. I write "Done" next to a bullet point when it's done. I might rewrite the list occasionally without the done items for clarity or write numbers next to the bullet points to prioritise them. I think if you can't write out a task description as a short sentence then it's either not well understood enough or too broad in scope to accomplish easily. In the latter case it needs breaking out into a set of smaller tasks.

I don't use any framework for unit tests. Only a short program for each test that returns 0 on success or some other number for failure and prints a message to stderr about what the problem is. These get run in a loop from a shell script.
What about azure Linux and cbl -mariner before that?

My kids’ school added a new weapons scanner as kids walk in the door. It’s powered by “AI.” They trust the AI quite a bit.

However, the AI identifies the school issued Lenovo laptops as weapons. So every kid was flagged. Rather than stopping using such a stupid tool, they just have the kids remove their laptops before going through the scanner.

I expect not smart enough people are buying “AI” products and trusting them to do the things they want them to do, but don’t work.
Exercise modulates hunger (generally, cardio increases perceived hunger while resistance training actually blunts it for a time). But people putting in work at the gym are already in a health conscious mindset and will apply that to their food choices, even if they aren't on an explicit diet plan. If you just left a gallon of sweat on the treadmill you're probably not gonna buy a pizza or McDonald's burger in the way home. It just feels like an obvious step backwards in the moment.

Meanwhile, being in a stressed state that reduces executive function is going to lead people to the quick, easy, hyper palatable, high energy density, unhealthy food options available.
At the end of the day Vonnegut was a liberal not a leftist. A lot of that philosophy is more or less "I agree with protestors of the past but the current thing is 'complex." See democrats on gay rights, trans rights, anti-racist movements, etc. Chicago, perhaps historically the most liberal city, is deeply racially segregated by design. Remember 'liberal' California voted against gay marriage. Obama ran as an anti-gay marrige candidate in 2008. The dems today have hypocritical views on trans rights, migrants, the I-P conflict, etc.

Vonnegut is a good everyday liberal (which is a big part of his commercial appeal imho, never overly challenging and fit in with the neolib NYTimes-style intelligentsia of the time) and good, if not great, writer, but people expecting him to be more to the left than that are just going to be disappointed.

I'd even argue this game is a great example of liberal idealism. That is to say the problem is sort of distilled down and punched down to individuals (hey this game should be taught to soldiers) instead of punching up the dynamics that actually cause the suffering of war he's trying to address (capitalism, MIC, white supremacy, oil politics, racism, colonialism, xenophobia, etc). Or at least it leans far more towards the former than the latter. I think "war is sad and bad" is a far more marketable and acceptable view to liberal readers than "hey we will need to fundamentally revisit and reform or even replace things like capitalism, the modern world order, and even things you might personally benefit from if we want a peaceful world." These types of writers play up to middle-class moralism and liberalism, which is a big market, but never challenge it too much.

Vonnegut wasn't a Chomsky or a Marx. He was an Anderson Cooper or an Obama or a Chris Christy.

Their applications pages mentions wind turbines and automotive applications and promises increased efficiency vs conventional motors. That would require maintaining 90%+ efficiency at well over 1k RPM. But no specs anywhere, so hard to tell whether this is real.
They're probably referring to some contrived fitness study on hypertrophy.
If all table pages exist in memory and you are using cooperative GC, then O2N can be preferable. As workers scan version chains, they can clean up dead tuples without taking additional locks.

This is what Microsoft Hekaton does.
Good question! Also they point out that famous Uber article erroneously mentions write amplification caused by what they thought was N2O. IDK if write amplification is real or not. But if it is really O2N then there is no apparent reason for write amplification and entire Uber article might had been based on the wrong premise.

Concerns Raised over Bitwarden Moving Further Away from Open-Source

of course, but in that case it's not the base imperative abstraction that's leaky - it's the multi-thread/multi-core abstraction built on top of it - it's almost as easy as multiple threads happening in parallel. until it isn't.

the multi-thread abstraction attempts to be: "hey, you know how that imperative model works? now we can have more than one of these models (we'll call them threads!) running in parallel. neat, huh?"

it's things like memory barriers and race conditions, etc. that are the "leaks". but it's the threading/multi-core abstractions that are leaky not (back to the article) the "blocking" code.

i can write single-thread "blocking" code all day long that does all kinds of interesting non-trivial things and never have to worry about leaks wrt. blocking, in-order execution, etc. even in the presence of out-of-order execution processors and optimizing compilers, VMs, multi-user OS'es, etc. effects are observably identical to the naive model.

the author didn't do a good job of clearly defining anything, but i bristle at the idea that the basic "blocking" code abstraction whats leaky - it's the async, threads, event-driven models, etc. that are (necessarily) a bit leaky when they break the basic imperative blocking model or require accommodation of it.
I’m almost certain I’m doing it wrong, but that’s sort of my point. As a dev, I spend all day working with software, but then I try to do something I used to easily do as a 12 year old and it’s almost impossible to achieve an even half-decent experience without significant knowledge and research now.

It may be obvious to you what the right release groups and software are but this isn’t how it used to be. You used to be able to just search for torrents, and find high quality ones for just about anything. It’s not the case anymore. Even going to TPB and searching there feels like I’m missing something because of how poor the catalog and average health is.

If we destigmatize “being dumb” (1) a lot of people will get smarter (2) leaders will admit it more often and ask for help.

I don't understand this "in spite of" and "vs." narrative. As far as I know my history the goals were aligned, not least because government was some of the same people, or connected people, and the goals were aligned. The functions were different.

Where does this either-or (private/government) come from?

I look at Gregor Mendel as an example for how many different parties worked as one. (Biology) professor Eric Lander of MIT mentioned in one biology/genetics intro course lecture video (on edX) that Mendel was not some lone figure, but that he got the task to do his research from his boss, who as representative of the church was in turn part of a local group consisting of important figures from local business and government. They talked about economics and decided that they needed better sheep - for better wool. Back then clothing was the big important business, the technical revolution and also new science was very important for it.

So I don't think there was a situation as described in that quote. I think they all worked along and with one another in those days.

The entire expansion of empires and colonies was not driven by some government officials who were bored, commerce, industry and politics were aligned.
What even is the speed of causality? Is there any way to determine that causality has made it halfway from cause to effect?

Think of it as a maximum vector length. As one component of the vector nears the maximum length, the other components most reduce until the vector is aligned with only one axis and at the maximum length - the other components must all equal zero.

That is - to my limited understanding - essentially why photons are “timeless”.
