Millions of people do—and have to—often because it’s the most effective way for a PA intern to be useful. Is the practice wise or ideal or “safe” in terms of security and/or privacy? No, but wisdom, idealism, and safety are far less important than efficiency. And that’s not always a bad thing; not all use-cases require wise, idealistic, and safe security measures.
Yes! That's perfect now.

> But nuclear reactors aren't usually anywhere near 7 times heavier than their fuel.

On not on earth, but Soviet spatial reactors[1] weren't too far from that:

> The fuel core of the reactor was 0.24 m in diameter, 0.67 m long and weighed, as an assembly, 53 kg,[1][2] and contained 35–50 kg of enriched uranium. The entire reactor, including the radiation shielding, weighed 385 kg.

The problem is yield, out of 100kW of thermal power it was only able to generate up to 3kW of electricity due to lack of efficient cooling in space.

Thank you so much for explaining it with a concrete example, now even I understand it :)

This really is a useful idea.
I'm surprised they are actually using Azure DevOps internally. Creating your own hell I guess.

This is a bit of a strange presentation of stability but I liked it. I don't agree with the phase margin absence in the other comment but it would have been much clearer if the author chose to present it once via a Nyquist plot, then stuck with the magnitude plots which would clarify what we are talking about. It is also very welcome clarity to see that we are not using the weird dB unit in Bode plots.

For those who are not related to the field, what the reported subject here (and destabilizing effect of the negative feedback) is fixed by Black to remedy amp ringing, led to Bell labs, develop frequency domain techniques later analyzed by Nyquist and Bode (also seniors in Bell labs) then made western control theory kick off (then united with the Soviet techniques) and today everybody losing their mind about boosters coming back to base with SpaceX (which was already done a few times historically decades ago).

To be fair, we were impressed with Google Docs 15 years ago. Not saying office.com isn't impressive, but Google Docs certainly isn't impressive today. My company still uses GSuite, as I don't like being in Microsoft's ecosystem and we don't need any advanced features of our office suite but Google Docs and the rest of the GSuite seem to be intentionally held back to technology of the early 2010's.
I’m curious how folks who have the know-how to dissect a phenomenon “miss the forest for the trees” when they stumble upon a “mysterious” signal.

Alternate data streams in FM like RDS, IBOC audio and FM time are not some new-fangled tech. This would/should be the first place to go to if you saw a signal that’s not modulated to analog audio.

Of course, the whole mystery aspect is just a hook and helps move the story along.
It would absolutely be better. Think of how many Trump voters are disenfranchised in California. Think of how many Harris voters are disenfranchised in Alabama. The president represents everyone, and yet, seven random states will actually move the needle in the contest this year. This is only controversial because it benefits one party that would otherwise consistently lose in an election that uses sane math where "greater than" hasn't been redefined to let the loser win, so now everyone who's into that is going to come out of the woodwork to explain how a minority-rule system from back when we had slavery is actually super great, guys.

Nostr's poor UX is a feature, not a bug. It serves as a reminder that life isn’t perfect.

Basic knowledge of manual key management should be essential for every internet user. Think about password managers.

What I love about Nostr is that individuals can actively participate in making it better. It’s fully open, allowing anyone to build whatever they wish on top of it. I agree it’s not perfect now, but it will improve over time and the progress already made can speak for itself that Nostr is here to stay and it's getting better and better each day. The more developers the Nostr ecosystem has, the faster it will evolve.

Personally, I enjoy using it. Cross-posting has been resolved, so I can’t even remember the last time I opened Twitter. Mastodon never really attract me much. Bluesky is yet another Twitter and it's not decentralized. They can read your DMs btw.

One of best features of Nostr is when you build something, you get users instantly and whenever I post on nostr I cross post to Mastodon and Bluesky as well. Reactions are also interchangeable :)
The point is that any human did that at all, whereas no other species has.
With CUDA a researcher can use C++20 (minus modules), Fortran, Julia, Python, Haskell, Java, C#, and a couple of other stuff that compiles to PTX, have nice graphical debuggers for the GPU, IDE integration, a large ecosystem of libraries.

With OpenCL, C99, some C++ support, printf debugging, and that is about it.

For good C++ experience, one needs to reach out to Intel's Data Parallel C++, which has Intel's special sauce on top of SYCL efforts, which only became a reality since a British company specialised in compilers for game consoles decided to pivot their target market and produce ComputeCpp, followed by being acquired by Intel.

There is no strangeness of zero. It is very natural. You use it to count objects. 0,1,2, .. they have a good physical model: number of stones. It's just the teachers that insist on confusing kids. Also they are commonly called as 'natural numbers'. (Acknowledging the fact, that how they are called can't be a basis of an argument.)

Negative numbers however. They have no good physical models, at least that I know of. They are mostly just a tool to make accounting easier, or to denote one out of 2, indistinguishable cases (direction on the axis x, direction of angular velocity, electric charge). But the teachers don't insist confusing the kids with them.
Once you look at the math, you realize that no matter how hard they try, black holes can’t suck everything around them.
How about equal rights for dogs? They are already family members and "children"!

We need something like child support for dogs. Shelters are horribly underfunded. Animal abusers deserve to have their income confiscated, so their family members can have a dignified life!

Countries have run nationalise infrastructure before, and successfully. The problem is if they did not view it as nationalised infrastructure and instead viewed it as some sort of mana that would fall from open source heaven.

Open source software is the building blocks used by large rent (service fee) seeking corporations. They will extract large profits from any of these contracts and that is a demonstrable fact, they are also nearly all from the USA and so those profits will flow in one particular direction. It is also a historical fact that governments have run successful large scale infrastructure. Make your choice.

Why do you use OpenCL instead of CUDA?
Interestingly, a similar issue befell UK politics in the small few last decades. It is basically two party - two parties get >90% of the seats, then there's a plethora of small parties.

What happened in the last election, for example, is that "small C" conservative voters had no one to vote for. The actual Conservative party was unelectable, mired by scandals and gross incompetence. Labour party, the other one of the two, was anathema. Taking smaller steps to the left or right, you have the Liberal party or Reform, neither of which had any chances of getting a significant number of seats in the parlament.

In a healthy multi-party system, some other "small c" Conservative party would spring up to hoover up the votes. As it is, people had the choice of voting for a party widely seen as incompetent (including by its own sympathisers), a party that wants the opposite of everything they like, or a fringe party with no chance of shaping UK politics.

I have some theories as to why these happen at the same time... But anyway, it's not a uniquely American phenomenon.

It was pretty hilarious to watch some toolbag driving a Cybertruck around Santana Row (a fake-fancy outdoor mall made to look like a European downtown area out here in Silicon Valley) blasting music at all the people trying to enjoy dinner outdoors. I was there picking something up and he was doing laps around the place from before I got there until after I left, a good 30+ minutes, just driving around in circles desperately trying to get attention.

To be fair, it’s very typical to hear people revving up their crappy SRT Chargers or sport bikes constantly there all day and night. I’m not sure who’d be interested in the extremely-overpriced apartments that they have, given the noise and lack of proximity to anything else outside of the malls there. I believe there used to be Cars and Coffee events hosted there but I’ve heard they got kicked out due to too many incidents of bad behavior.

Been ranting about this for years, did a keynote about it, actually did two notes at several venues, including an open culture festival, and all I got was a silent dis.

every now and then open source is suggested as superior, because being free. Zero comment on code quality, who wrote it, why it came to be in the first place.

Even the argument that a host running open source makes delivery more trustworthy is super biased - major cognitive dissonance is that services based on open tech are very often not open, neither auditable.

There’s a lot of open source being controlled by same large corporations and the part that is not, does not constitute a service on its own.

Then we must admit it takes a lot of care taking care of services nobody else cares about (by means of support).

While open source is important for academia, I think open results are more important for government. Like I don’t care what somebody used to cater to this geospatial data, or that image. I care about the data that went in and went out.
Open data is much more important in the era of open weights and closed sources training sets.

The general public is often misled to equate open source to free beer. Well that is also not entirely correct given plethora of not so free licenses. Asp not correct as costs are greater when you put the personnel running that service in the equation. I can see how this argument does not fly well with socialist ideologies, but that’s problem of ideology, not of costs or technology.

Even if we consider only those open projects which are also free - these come with less guaranties than a pair of second hand shoes bought from random store.

Don’t get me wrong - open source is great and we use it daily, but comparing means of distribution with quality of service is really like comparing ябълки и круши (apples and pears in Bulgarian). So it’s indeed time to stop blindly waving the open source flag, but actually try to understand the benefits and challenges it comes with.

Why wouldn't it be possible without centralisation and monetization? You need some style of data mining, but it can be "ingest list of summaries with attributes and decide at instance/device level what to serve". The monetization may be useful to incentivise creation, but not for the service to exist in general.

> Article 2, 12. This Regulation does not apply to AI systems released under free and open-source licences, unless they are placed on the market or put into service as high-risk AI systems or as an AI system that falls under Article 5 or 50.

We already had access to source code back then.

It's kinda nuanced. Opera devs in late 90's and early 00's were truly innovative. Tabs is just one of the things introduced by Opera and later adopted by every other browser. But they also introduced a lot of under the hood tricks to render pages on slow connections, delay loading images etc.

But their problem was in quality. Partially it was MS with IE dominance to blame, but anyway, html rendering by Opera was inconsistent. So as a paid browser they failed as soon as 33600 modems turned history and Firefox introduced most of Opera features for free with much more consistent page rendering.

I think this point of view is a little bit backwards - it's true that it's not defined (for the reals), but I don't think that's a convincing causal explanation.

I think we invent abstractions because they allow us to reason about patterns in reality in a consistent way. The fact that division by zero is undefined is (to my mind) because it doesn't correspond to any useful pattern in the parts of reality we typically apply arithmetic to (accounting, estimation, etc).

What I like about this point of view is that it encourages thinking about what you are trying to accomplish, rather than fixating on formal rules. In some contexts "division by zero" can correspond to a meaningful pattern - look up the geometry of the projective line, for instance. In such cases you might want to include it in your model, rather than declaring it to be undefined as a convention!
a) Techniques like this can identify a unique user to 99.5% accuracy e.g. https://fingerprint.com

b) It can identify the user personally because many web sites use pixels where we link the fingerprinted user to an email address and then send both to Meta, Google, Reddit etc. And since browsers like Chrome allow long lived first party cookies this works because users remain signed in for over a year.

Derrick provides a better explanation in this cover letter: https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1785.git.1725890210.gitgitg...

(See also the path-walk API cover letter: https://lore.kernel.org/all/pull.1786.git.1725935335.gitgitg...)

The example in the blog post isn't super clear, but Git was essentially taking all the versions of all the files in the repo, putting the last 16 bytes of the path (not filename) in a hash table, and using that to group what they expected to be different versions of the same file together for delta compression.

Indeed in the blog it doesn't work, because foo/CHANGELOG.md and bar/CHANGELOG.md is only 13 chars, but you have to imagine the paths have a longer common suffix. That part is fixed by the --full-name-hash option, now you compare the full path instead of just 16 bytes.

Then they talk about increasing the window size. That's kind of a hack to workaround bad file grouping, but it's not the real fix. You're still giving terrible inputs to the compressor and working around it by consuming huge amounts of memory. So that was a bit confusing to present it as the solution. The path walk API and/or --full-name-hash are the real interesting parts here =)
Yeah more realistically it was like:

Everything you describe requires interaction with people. Those are too often toxic, incompetent, overly demanding and keep changin schedules and priorities. At least in single player games you get to drop all that crap.
It is possible to write unsound code using NTTP in C++ unsurprisingly. In C++ that's just your fault as the programmer, don't make mistakes. So the compiler needn't check. I think NTTP abuse that's actually unsound is rare in production, but the problem is that's my insight as a human looking at the code, I'm not a compiler.

The Rust equivalent would need to be checked by the compiler and I think this only really delivers value if it's a feature in the safe Rust subset. So, the compiler must check what you wrote is sound, if it can't tell it must reject what you wrote. And that's why they decided to do the integer types first, that's definitely sound and it's a lot of value delivered.

As a whole concept you could probably say that the C++ NTTP is "unsound as-is" but that's so all-encompassing as to not be very useful, like saying C++ integer arithmetic is unsound. It's such a big thing that even though the problem is also big, it sort of drowns out the problem.

Noticing that std::abs is unsound has more impact because hey, that's a tiny function, why isn't it just properly defined for all inputs? But for the entire NTTP feature or arithmetic or ranges or something it's not a useful way to think about it IMO.
> Exponentiation to zero annoyed me as a kid

Your teacher didn't tell you (or told you, but you didn't recognize it as something valuable and forgot it) that exponentiation to zero is a new definition over exponentiation to positive integers. Exponentiation to positive integers is defined somehow, and that definition says nothing about exponentiation to zero. It is a new definition, not something that you deduce.

The same holds for 0^0 or 0/0 (with some amounts of confusion, lies, and hypocriticism).

Oona (the author) knew about the existence of such things; it wasn't a mystery. The only reason it was strange is that because her radio had been knocked about during a move, it was strangely down-shifting the data channel ... she was not monitoring the FM (from what I could make out), but the actual audio from the radio.

This was just ('just' for her, impressive for me) an exercise of going down the rabbit hole, and then curating that tour for us.
