This is directly related to the topic. You cant have an indepth discussion about why we use these type of utensils without a discussion of non-stick as one of hte main reasons we use them is they don't scratch nonstick. Or you can collapse the thread and move on to the discussion you are interested in, or just downvote. But complaining that one of the current points of discussion doesnt do it for ya is a pretty lame method of trying to control a topic that you dont even have interest in.

When you say "a LeetCode hard", is that because the problem is literally on the LeetCode website, among the hard ones?

Or is it similar to LeetCode problems, although not actually on
their website?

Does everyone remember all question titles by heart and that's why they say it was Leetcode questions, or is it more figuratively speaking :-)

I hope you'll find a place with an interview process that works for you.
Wouldn't it be more surprising to you Apple has been selling 4 generations of the M series to great acclaim on the performance but it all turned out to be a smoke and mirrors show because the hardware is optimized for one particular benchmark they didn't even reference in their comparisons?

From the data side: the M4 hasn't made it to the charts yet but the M3 already holds the 4th place in PassMark's single thread chart as well https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html as well as tops Cinebench 2024 https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu_benchmark-cinebench_2024_s...

The only areas the M series "lags" is in the high end workstation/server segment where they don't really have a 96+ core option or in spaces where you pop in beefy high end GPUs. Everything else the M4 tends to lead in right now.

It's not possible to fry in a safe range. The safe range is <500F. I use pans at a greater temperature than that for frying. Additionally, when the pans wear the surface degrades and becomes your food. This probably always occurs, but more when the products wear.
It really depends on the wood used. Some should absolutely, under no circumstance, be expose to a hot + wet environment. Some, you can put in the dishwasher and they are fine. I do use a lot of wooden cooking utensil and most of them go in the dishwasher. But I do have some nicer wooden spoon that are made from a more precious wood that I would always wash by hand.

Another thing is that a loot of wooden utensil are made in several piece stick together with glue. A lot of cutting board are made that way for example (especially the cheap ones). Most glue are not very dishwasher safe. It might be fine for a few wash, and then you end up with pieces of a cutting board.

>It appears to be some law of nature that "our next compiler must compile 20 year old code".

Some examples of companies/products not implementing backwards compatibility are Delphi and Angular. Both are effectively dead. .NET Core wasn't backwards compatible with .NET Framework, but MS created .NET Standard to bridge that gap. .NET Standard allows people to write code in .NET core and will run in .NET Framework. It's not perfect, but apparently it was good enough.

Companies usually won't knowingly adopt a technology that will be obsoleted in the future and require a complete rewrite. That's a disaster.

That's fair, my phrasing was less than precise. More accurately:

I think that automatic and outside-of-written-code destruction is generally a risky/bad idea for nontrivial (in-user-memory only) objects. Both GC-ful languages' finalization systems and the automatic-destruction side of RAII are problematic.

I agree that moving more logic into explicit acquire/perform/destroy blocks like TWR and 'with' is good. I wish we had a language (rather than, say, just specific libraries) that could require such handling for certain datatypes.
I'm not surprised! I said 25 because the TRAMP manual says (c) 1999.
True, but hey, even if it's not production code, it may be an ad-hoc thing that never gets push to production, it may be code reviewed by C++ experts and improved to production quality. At very least, someone saved four days with it, and could use the time for something, maybe something they are expert at. Isn't that still good?
> For the rest C# is mostly perfect.

No, it isn't. The power of C++ templates is still astronomically far from C# generics.

Couple of instances where I want to be able to type _very_ quickly is when I'm (a) taking notes while someone is talking or (b) writing out a lengthy code block I don't need to think that hard about. Other than that, typing at a modest speed is good enough.
Which is a great idea if we ignore all other issues in academia, e.g. pressure to publish etc. Taking such a hard-line stance I fear will just yield much less science being done.
> when it won't be able to power any instrument

We can still track the position and speed. Any deviations from theoretical models would be interesting. Non deviations are also useful, although less interesting.

That clears it, thanks! I didn't figure out that "sensible" referred to convergent G(t).
These kind of reductive thought-terminating cliches are not helpful. You are using a tautology (it doesn't think because it is retrieving data and retrieving data is not thinking) without addressing the why (why does this preclude thinking) or the how (is it doing anything else to generate results).
The Rust Project also has international representatives vetting new additions and ensuring backwards compatibility.
Well as an end user this is pretty much OK right, so long as you are aware of the deal? VC funded companies have subsidized and then abandoned a lot of useful OSS code over the years.

Whenever you encounter a VC backed open source project you know the rug pull will come eventually. It doesn't make the code they have written any less useful. If the tool is good enough then it will be forked and live on.
Well, a compliant JPEGs will still open in any reader, but can look slightly different. In a low-resolution image, it could change some fine detail you really cared about.

Anyone who doesn't lose blood somehow - for modern humans that usually means either menstruation or blood donation - should be careful of sources of excess iron in their diet. It's one reason why multivitamin supplements are often labelled as "for men" or "for women". The women's one will have iron.
Gravity is similar to an electric field here. A wave function for a field consists of an amplitude for each field configuration, where a “field configuration” refers to a value for the electric field for each point in space. In GR each field configuration would correspond to a space time geometry for the universe. We have quantized excitations as distinct “valid” solutions to the wave function, which we call a particle, though it is nothing like an electron. The notion of space time geometry holds throughout. (Edit: in practice, people never calculate wave functions for fields like electric fields. That would be too hard. Different methods are used in calculations. Second edit: the wave function wouldn’t be composed of complete space-time configurations, histories of the universe, but time slices from it, like space geometries. Maybe this can be expanded in responses/comments.)
So the article says that Freeman Dyson calculated that only one graviton capture event would happen per billion years in a detector the size of the Earth. The new experiment however proposes to use 15 kg of super-cooled Beryllium.

My question is: what's the difference between the proposed Beryllium slab and Dyson's theoretical detector?

There are stories floating around of hackers connecting to old satellites (for fun), so it's possible.

Where it is now, you'd need some serious equipment to transmit to Voyager, and network security is all about cost-benefit analysis; it's not worth the while for any adversary.

Heat is a transforming agent in nature, and time is the ultimate test. That's the context i think missed from your thesis.

Every single thing you mention, except for cooking, does not get exposed to fundamental transformation via heat, or if they have (such as ingredients), they have passed the test of time (nutrients).
Ingredients being heated has happened for millenia with fire wood and metal. This is why we care about what we cook and what we put into our bodies. Have we done this before for a long time? Was it safe for a long time? Time matters

I can't say the same about teflon, highly processed foods, etc.
Would like to know if there are any similar approaches in Jinja2 template
Not the person you're replying to, but here's my $0.02. We have a couple stainless frying pans that we've had for a long time, and I've never been much a fan of them. I find they stick pretty bad no matter what procedures you use. Our main pan is a 12" cast iron that I smoothed out the bottom cool surface with a flapper wheel on an angle grinder. It's been used thousands of times over at least a decade and never gives me any trouble. I usually clean it with a stainless steel scrubber and hot water, and then either wipe it clean with a paper towel, or just put it on a burner on low to dry out. I'm not afraid to use soap if needed, but I find it rarely is. We also cook anything in it, including tomato sauce or whatever, and have never had a problem related to that. I find that most of the conventional wisdom around cast iron is just a bunch of voodoo. Just use it and don't worry about it. Beyond the cast iron, we have some ceramic coated cast iron dutch ovens/pots (including a real Le Crueset and a couple knock offs) and stainless steel pots. I'm real happy with our setup. No teflon, no grief, lots of thermal mass for even cooking. I don't feel like we've had to make a tradeoff. With the right equipment, it's really all upside from my point of view.
Is it your locked briefcase or the hotel's? I believe hotels have the ability to unlock their own safe, so I suspect they're allowed to ask the hotel's permission to look without a warrant.

Also, if a hotel cleaner found illegal material lying in your room, the police don't need a warrant to seize it and prosecute you.

If it's your briefcase then I think they need a warrant.

> The 0.05 threshold is indeed arbitrary, but the scientific method is sound.

Agreed. A single published paper is not science, a tree data structure of published papers that all build off of each other is science.
There's also bit flips. A JPEG can be more easily corrupted if some bits randomly flip.
If you cook acidic things like tomatoes, apparently it can leech a significant amount of iron - apparently in some cases exceeding what you'd get from food.

You might not be able to sell someone a library that fixes all bugs, but you can sell (or give away) software systems that reduce the number of bugs. Doing that is pretty useful.

Examples include linters, fuzzers, testing frameworks, and memory safe programming languages (as in Rust, but also as in any language with a GC). All these things reduce the number of bugs in the final product by giving you a way to detect them. (except for memory safe languages, which just eliminate a class of bugs) The paper is advertising a method to detect whether a given output is likely to be affected by a "bug", and a taxonomy of the symptoms of such bugs. The paper doesn't provide a way to fix those, and hallucinations don't necessarily have a single cause. Some hallucinations might be fixed by contextual calibration [0], others might be fixed by adding more training data similar to the wrong example.

In any case, you need to find the bad outputs before you can perform any fixes. Because LLMs tend to be used to produce "fuzzy" outputs with no single right answer, traditional testing frameworks and the like aren't always applicable.

Can you name startups that you think are surviving mainly because of VC money and are likely to go bust soon?
I think the 12th order G(t) example is missing another term with coefficient 1/5 -- since these coefficients must sum to 1
Startups sometimes want to build hardware products, and in that case they mostly can't rely on __consumer__ products like Apple sells.

Apple gobbling up supply chains and production capacity is not something a hardware startup should be happy with.

Also, startup engineers don't necessarily like "alien technology", which is what Apple is becoming by developing everything behind closed doors and with little cooperation.

Startups don't like to pay 10-30% of their revenue just for running their software on a device someone has already paid for.

There are more reasons to dislike Apple than you can find on Slashdot.
Those 47 year old caps in the radio still work. Kudos to the engineers.

>What role is "intrinsically" playing here?

When I mean "intrinsically" or in 'intrinsic' I mean what is innate. To make the distinction clearer smart people can occasionally do stupid things, do to various factors like time constraint, ill luck etc, but they won't do it consusrtently. To give you a very simple example someone who earns reasonably well, if they are consistently out of money before their next paycheck, they are intrinsically stupid.

>Do you think non-stupid people can have their stupidity: >1. increased by outside forces?

No as a general rule. More specifically they are less likely to be manipulated by outside forces

>sustained due to a lack of outside forces?

For some it may be yes, others no I think. I'm not sure of the breakup. There are various categories of non stupid people, for some external influences are needed to stimulate their thinking, and there are others which are self-reflective even without targeted ( at them) external influences. The latter would be a category of truly independent thinkers.

p.s: Since a few line of definition of what is/is not stupid can be inadequate, I have a page devoted to it https://quberoot.wordpress.com/dysfunctional/
I think most people define "Intellisense" as "IDE suggestions based on static anaysis results". Sometimes it blends a bit of heuristics/usage statistics as added feature depending on the tool. They are mostly deterministic, based on actual AST of your code, and never hallucinates. They may not be helpful but can never be wrong.

On the other hand, LLMs are completely different -- based on machine learning and everything is random and about statistics. It depends on training data and context. It is more useful but make a ton of mistakes.

As a layman who doesn't work with medical studies it always struck me that one of the bits of data that isn't (normally) collected along with everything else is genetic samples of all participants. It should be stored alongside everything else so that if the day comes when genetic testing becomes cheap enough it can be used to provide vastly greater insight into the study's results.

Even something as simple as a few strands of hair sealed in a plastic bag in a filing cabinet somewhere would be better than nothing at all.

So... If gravity is quantized, then black holes must be only a low-energy approximation of whatever phenomenon is really happening there?

If there's some proof that they aren't black (AFAIK, the only thing we know empirically), I've missed it. All I see is a point that the current theory would be wrong.
You missed the point completely. The problem with a user hostile closed OS like Windows is that they collect a lot of data from your computer even if you never open a web browser. You have no clue what they collect and what they do with the data
Cast iron is intentionally seasoned with oxidized cooking oil to make it non stick, and that should not be cleaned off.

Stainless is pretty easy to get totally clean with steel wool and/or scotchbrite pad sponges.
A lot of wood is dishwasher safe. But you should ask / check before hand. If it is made a several pieces glued together, it will probably not be.

For cookware with PTFE non-stick coating, it is basically the only solution, with silicone, but I personally don't like silicone utensil.

In any case, I also started to avoid PTFE coated cookware, because no matter how well you treat them, the coating will eventually get damaged (and PTFE is supposedly not very good for you). Now I just use stainless steel for anything that is not too sticky, and carbon steel for everything that need a bit of a non-stick surface to be cooked properly.
They are not too hard to maintain and they don't get damaged like PTFE non-stick pan.
