> “The distance over which we create quantum entanglement in this project, via 25 km of deployed underground fiber, is a record for quantum processors,” says Hanson. “This is the first time such quantum processors in different cities are connected.”

I know very little about quantum networking. I assume you are going beyond what they did here? How so? [1]

> Recently, as a sort of proof of potential and a first step toward functional quantum networks, a team of researchers with the Illinois‐Express Quantum Network (IEQNET) successfully deployed a long-distance quantum network between two U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories using local fiber optics.

> The experiment marked the first time that quantum-encoded photons — the particle through which quantum information is delivered — and classical signals were simultaneously delivered across a metropolitan-scale distance with an unprecedented level of synchronization.

> “To have two national labs that are 50 kilometers apart, working on quantum networks with this shared range of technical capability and expertise, is not a trivial thing,” said Panagiotis Spentzouris, head of the Quantum Science Program at Fermilab and lead researcher on the project. “You need a diverse team to attack this very difficult and complex problem.”

Thanks for sharing; I haven't heard that clip before, and I love it.

I was a Braves fan from the mid-1990s into the 2000s not just because they were winners but because they did it largely with the same core group of guys, whose playing style I liked to watch, over that whole span. I wasn't a Yankees fan during that same era, but I could respect Yankees fans because they also had a core group of players that stuck together (plus they've really held the line on their uniforms).
I see Random button, but maybe that it was just added after your comment. Thanks to you both if so.
>Monsanto won because they have a superior product, that makes it easier for farmers to grow crops.

Cheaper too and leads to better no-till practices. Despite all the anti-GMO FUD around it, it's just a superior way to farm by basically any metric you look at.

So what now? We give them rights?
"The left disappointed us for Gaza, but Trump will be much worse."

The left "disappointed" you? That's a quaint way to describe material, personnel, logistical and diplomatic cover for a genocide. Real cute.

By contrast, all we have on Trump are mean tweets and executing a (stupid) decision by Congress to move the embassy.

"how do you judge the accuracy of the French documentary you watched? Who financed it?"

It's one of a vast volume of data that have definitively proven Biden's role. It is coherent other sources in a way that the narrative we're fed by the likes of The Economist isn't. The French made an easily digestible documentary for those who want to wade into a complicated story. It's a starting point. Prof. Cohen's another.

Btw, Hunter Biden's laptop - now validated in court - acknowledges Biden's culpability and form part of the whole of evidence.

"Even in a far fetched scenario where you believe Putin felt threaten with NATO closer to his borders - does that suddenly make it ok for him to invade a sovereign state?"

Do we really need to list the countries Democrat and GOP presidents have invaded for BS reasons? And Putin invaded for the genocide Banderites were committing in Donetsk. I have friends in Donetsk, so I have primary sources.

"Especially given they made an agreement to respect their territory in exchange for Ukraine giving up their nukes?"

The agreement also required Ukrainian neutrality,m. Meanwhile, Zelensky publicly declared in late '21 he wanted nukes. Anyway, there were the Minsk II accords that the Ukr. were in violation of.

"PS: Stein is fully in Putin's pocket. Don't buy the Green Party BS who only exists for a few months every 4 years."

Im not afraid of Putin. I'm afraid of the Lobby class in DC.

Netflix could have made the residuals per-viewing. They don't want to disclose those numbers however. So a fixed number is the only option.
As someone who pirates a lot of movies and TV, I think it's hard to justify based on ethical arguments against the industry. At a certain point, it feels like a wobbly justification to say we like using something but refuse to pay for it, and that's actually fighting the good fight. Personally, I don't like some of what these companies do, but I like other parts—like the movies and shows their dark malevolence provides me. I have to admit that the real reason I pirate is because it's more convenient and cheap.
I think the only benefit is that it does less, so less code, less maintainance or things going wrong? But Sprockets is certainly battle tested and maybe better choice for many right now.
I was 17 for my first few months of college and got horribly sick and congested. The school pharmacy wouldn't sell me the real Sudafed because of my age... not sure if that was part of the nationwide Patriot Act restrictions on Sudafed or a specific state law. I thought about getting someone of age to buy it for me but I was too much of a goody two shoes to go through with it.

I ended up going to the doctor and getting sent home with a bottle of opioid cough syrup. Fortunately didn't end up addicted or anything, but it was very frustrating at the time.

>Dig seeds out of the apple, crush them and turn them into a paste. If you eat them, you will die.

For starters, QNX has IPC that works over IP-capable networks, which makes things like High Availibility much easier to implement.

Drivers are in user-land and can be restarted at runtime. Probably more, but it's been awhile since I used it. A lot of it comes from QNX having a micro-kernel.

> RT can also linux.

PREEMPT_RT was merged in september of this year[1]. I terms of "hard real-time" with PREEMPT_RT scheduler still not completely deterministic like in QNX.

[1]: Note that you could have turned linux in "somewhat" hard real-time with or without PREEMPT_RT patches for user-land application.
I’ve got a Duravit toilet here in the US, and I'm on the hunt for a compatible cold-water bidet seat under $300 on Amazon. I originally went for a Brondell, thinking it would match the shape and dimensions. But halfway through the install, I realized it wasn’t going to fit around the seat connectors. Duravit's own bidet seats are around $1,000-- I'm tempted, but they look like a lot of work to install. I’m starting to wonder if I should just upgrade the whole toilet to a model that comes with a bidet.
Seedboxes are a good investment :)
Only thing I'd quibble with is the reason most consumers switched off of pseudoephedrine. The manufacturers knew that the inconvenience of having to go to the counter would reduce sales so they just replaced it in the aisle with an identically branded product with a different active ingredient. Most people made no affirmative choice at all; they're just buying "Sudafed", but now it's a placebo.
Well, it depends on your point of view. According to the most respected Computational Theologian of our time, rather a lot of the universe is written in Perl [1]. Is Perl "functional programming"? One might argue it at least embeds a functional programming language within itself, but I suspect if we could do exegesis on the phrase "hacked most of it together in Perl" that it would not very strongly suggest the sort of elegance one nominally associates with Functional Programming.

Did you discover Scala 3 and give it a thought? I think of it as Rust with an _overall_ stronger type-system, but where you don't have to worry about memory management. It has an amazing standard library, particularly around collections. You get access to the amazing JVM ecosystem. And more. Martin Odersky in fact sees Scala's future lying in being a simpler Rust.

Also, regarding F#. It runs on .NET, and indeed, since the ecosystem and community are very small, you need to rely on .NET (basically C#) libraries. But it's really not "tied" to Microsoft and is open source.
You end up exciting the ionosphere this way so it's regulated. But there is a band way down there to play with if you have your ticket.
It really depends on your threat modeling and what you're concerned about. I agree, dual booting isn't ideal, but also, "dual booting Qubes and Ubuntu for gaming" cannot be any worse than "simply running everything on Ubuntu," as long as you don't believe Qubes is impervious to anything nasty in that configuration.

The main storage partitions are encrypted for Qubes (... or had better be, I guess you could avoid that, but why?), so the dual booting attack path would have to be through the boot partition, load something that can then compromise the install. It's a fairly specific sort of attack that, if someone's coming after you with that, it's probably a question of "How and when you're screwed, not if." But for general users, I think dual booting is an acceptable compromise. Just don't do much of anything in the other install!

I dual boot my laptop. There are a handful of things that are far easier to do in Ubuntu than Qubes (movies on a long flight, run a Windows VM to run particular software to talk to cars, and Minecraft for LAN parties). I'm aware of the risks, and don't consider them to be enough to remove the ability to do a few other things on one machine. I try not to have too large of piles of single purpose computers these days...
That would be wonderful news, because his claim is extremely depressing. I'm finding a bit of chatter on it on reddit, but do you happen to have a link to anything substantial? Particularly him walking it back?
In this pricing model, the power users effectively subsidise the entry-level users.

Not saying I agree with it, but Apple has been doing this successfully for many years.
Ew. That's always an uncomfortable read.
>> I wanted to understand what Trump voters liked and didn’t like about the president, what they were nervous about, what they thought about the left’s response so far, and most importantly, what would convince them not to vote for him in the future.

I would really like to understand why he considers this last question to be the most important.

I think the cool thing about this shortcut is that it'll work even if the thief stole your phone while unlocked.
Right, but would reopen the door to your random tweakers setting up shit labs in squats/rental properties and destroying property values.

That stuff's toxic AF even if the labs don't blow up.
Exactly. Seems similar to "are LLMs alive"? What practical purpose would an answer to that question serve?
We aren't driven solely by evolutionary pressure. We can (and have) developed cultures that can easily accept that humans are "just" part of a larger system, even having a unique role, without having to be superior. Our culture isn't like that, of course. We are obviously doing a good job of being "in charge" of the planet and definitely not charging headfirst into a mass extinction event with our collective eyes closed.
> Never use public trackers

... if you live in a country where the police don't have better things to do.

There are plenty of countries where literally nothing happen no matter how much you download/upload, even when using public trackers. Police there tend to focus on people do the initial uploading, if anything.
Or not actually a leak, just overuse. Suppose there's some sort of log that accumulates while it's failing to communicate. Once it communicates the log gets dumped. Log gets too big, software faults, watchdog reboots it.
Yet another thing for me to consider carefully should I ever find myself considering a move to the US.
Could you elaborate why it's more fair and democratic for a candidate losing the popular vote to win an election (e.g., 2000 and 2016)?

Additionally, why is it more fair for a voter in Wyoming to have 3x the electoral impact of a voter in California?

The latter is a particular problem borne from the fact that we've capped the size of the House at 435 in 1929, thus giving increasingly disproportionate power to low-population states in both the House and Electoral College as the difference in population between states continues to grow.

> but it certainly forces politicians to at least care what people in Iowa, Vermont, and Nevada have to say.

The problem is that it disincentivizes politicians to care about what people in deep blue or deep red states have to say, and there are many more of those than there are swing states. Both Democrat and Republican presidential candidates should have to campaign in all 50 states rather than a single-digit number of potential swing states.
I also spend a lot of time with my phone in airplane mode, but I'd have no problem with a reboot after two or three failed login attempts.
Having extensively used chatgpt, i would never trust the accuracy of any such tool. I know it can be right 90% of the time, but it's the other 10% that will hurt the most if you trust it. The more AI generated content gets published on the net the more i seek human sources for my information.

Lots of versions of Alka Seltzer use aspirin instead of acetaminophen, and aspirin in combination with phenylephrine is documented to reduce congestion more than either alone.

Note - avoid the cold & flu versions (the ones with orange bottoms) and the day & night versions (orange and green bottoms), because they're not aspirin, they're acetaminophen. The traditional blue bottom "Alka Seltzer Severe Cold" is the one with aspirin and phenylephrine.

I gave up on Django because no Python LSP server can make sense of it and I don't have the patience to manually lookup in the docs what every *kwargs takes as options.

The cognitive load of needing to remember all this stuff is also just way too much for me.

More modern Python projects (yup I said it) using type annotations show me all that good stuff while I type or when I hover over something. I can navigate between all the things because all the types are known. It is a frustrating experience with Django if you have seen the other side either in Python or in other languages.

I like a good and modern developer experience and Django just lags behind in that area. They should have started to invest in it years ago but it is probably too controversial. Things could be much better. I hope they will embrace it fully for Django 6.0.

[trying to remind myself how this works because it's been a while]

So it's got macros for defining "union types", which combine a bunch of individual structs into an enum with same-name variants, and implement From and TryFrom to box/unbox the structs in their group's enum

ASTInner is a struct that holds the Any (all possible AST nodes) enum in its `details` field, alongside some other info we want all AST nodes to have

And then AST<TKind> is a struct that holds (1) an RC<ASTInner>, and (2) a PhantomData<TKind>, where TKind is the (hierarchical) type of AST struct that it's known to contain

AST<TKind> can then be:

1. Downcast to a TKind (basically just unboxing it)

2. Upcast to an AST<Any>

3. Recast to a different AST<TKind> (changing the box's PhantomData type but not actually transforming the value). This uses trait implementations (implemented by the macros) to automatically know which parent types it can be "upwardly casted to", and which more-specific types it can try and be casted to

The above three methods also have try_ versions

What this means then is you can write functions against, eg, AST<Expression>. You will have to pass an AST<Expression>, but eg. an AST<BooleanLiteral> can be infallibly recast to an AST<Expression>, but an AST<Any> can only try_recast to AST<Expression> (returning an Option<AST<Expression>>)

Another cool property of this is that there are no dynamic traits, and the only heap pointers are the Rc's between AST nodes (and at the root node). Everything else is enums and concrete structs; the re-casting happens solely with that PhantomType, at the type level, without actually changing any data or even cloning the Rc unless you unbox the details (in downcast())

I worked in this codebase for a while and the dev experience was actually quite nice once I got all this set up. But figuring it out in the first place was a nightmare

I'm wondering now if it would be possible/worthwhile to extract it into a crate

COP29 chief exec filmed promoting fossil fuel deals
These companies want us to reduce phishing, etc attacks by being smart and looking at URLs before we click on them. Then they obfuscate them constantly like this so we can't see the actual URL. Then they wonder why phishing attacks constantly keep working.

This is every single company. Just trying to log into my doctor's patient portal, I go to my doctor's website, which redirects me to some weird 3rd party URL, which sends me to some authentication URL, then finally to the patient portal after I login, which is back to another URL. And the business names are never in the URLs. It's always "mypatientportal" or some URL with some old business name from a company that got acquired.

The most annoying thing is these fuckers keep blaming the users for getting phished. Just keep training the users. More training. More training that doesn't seem to be helping for some reason.

But here's more proof that they put metrics and data gathering over actual security. People need to learn how URLs work for fucks sake and start pushing back against their company when they do this shit. It always goes ignored everywhere I work.
I once got into a debate with a classmate in undergrad. He had seen a Ted Talk and was very worried that CRISPR was going to create a new race of designer babies. I tried to explain that even CRISPR wasn't there yet, but he was under the common misconception that CRISPR is just a text editor for the genome [1].

If we want to take the computer code analogy, CRISPR is not vim/emacs/nano/ect., it is sed -i 's///g' with greedy options on.

The 'g' option is what got the researchers here. I hypothesize that a future problem will be CRISPR targeting previous CRISPR edits since the targets are relatively conserved.
