Right. This is something I keep pointing out in threads about RSS. Some people will say RSS never left. Well, it left Twitter for one. Google News and Craigslist for others.

I almost wonder, to GP's point, if people have just completely forgotten all of this, which is why they think nothing was lost.
Take a Monte Carlo approach. Run a bunch of simulations to generate a probabilistic point cloud in spacetime of where the lenses end up. Fire a signal through every point in the cloud.
I used Claude AI project to attach requirement for the project. Then I just went with single conversation. I specified that I want to do it in small steps and then was just doing copy -> paste until I reached the limit. I think it was because I was doing one big convo instead attaching code to the project.

So pretty simple flow, totally not scalable for bigger projects.

I need to read and check Cursor AI which can also use Claude models.

Here’s the actual study: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2024/10/07/bjsports-2024-...
This book changed my life. I was an awful mathematics student in high school, but having a very lukewarm interest in an artistic career I decided to take maths as an advanced subject so that I might pursue architecture or something. I ended up getting a U in my maths exams, which in the British grade system stands for “Unmarked”. I did so poorly that my paper wasn’t even worthy of a mark!

Around the same time, I was wandering around the I saw a book cover with the weirdest, most beautiful looking graphics I’d ever seen. I still remember thinking “What the hell is that supposed to be?” as I picked it up. The copy I held had a colored picture segment as the middle pages with crisper, more mindblowing images. I borrowed the book and started reading it, trying to figure out how those images were drawn.

Long story short, I ended up becoming quite competent at mathematics. Fractals (albeit statistical ones) actually ended up being an important topic in my doctoral research. I sometimes wonder what my life might have been like if I hadn’t seen those weird images - I’d certainly have become a very mediocre architect at best.

I agree with not switching from "master" to "main" in git branch parliance. (The music industry didn't stop "mastering" albums, with good reason -- it's a technical term that refers to technical authority, which is a concept worth keeping.)

But I don't think this thread is the place for such a discussion. Technical authority and "woke" culture arguments are one thing, but we're talking here about honoring Erie Meier (a seminal figure in CSS history) and his daughter by adding a named color (basically an alias) to CSS and using it in the logo. That's worth doing simply out of love and honor for Eric, his wife and family, and his daughter.
I dunno, a lot of professional design these days of extreme flatness looks like stuff I’d have done in the ‘00s while developing something just to have some kind of design and structure, then everyone would see it and be like “the program’s great but of course we’ll need to get the designers on it, ha ha, programmers and design, so bad at it, am I right?”

A lot of it would still get that reaction, I think, if a programmer presented them instead of a designer, and these look to me like they’d be among them.
Name one thing inaccurate in my article. Happy to update it if you can!
I think abstraction layers exist at the system design level as well. Many of the things SICP teaches apply there as well.

They allow execution environments and have for many years. See pythonista etc

They haven’t allowed emulators till this year, but Xodot isn’t an emulator.

But what you’re likely thinking of with regards to execution is that they don’t allow creating new executable code. Ie no JIT or compilers, but interpreters are fine. Hence you can do GDScript (which runs in an interpreter like Python does) but you won’t be able to use the other language backends which compile down.

>Acting like distractionware being bundled into Windows as a new thing

Now I understand where our miscommunication is coming from. I just want to say that I never held that belief, I never stated that. The various games, third parties, ads and various other tactics fall in line with what's been said to be microsofts overarching theme of extend, embrace, extinguish. You are far more knowledgeable about the history and slippery slope windows is going down. So in that respect, I would agree that I am ignorant. I take no issue to that. Though in my ignorance, I reserve my right to let, an evidently minor issue, be the last drop in the bucket to call windows not just an operating system but also a tool for malicious intent towards the user to extract monetary gain beyond the provision of an abstraction layer for developing the programs we use today.

The only bright side to windows is that we're finally getting a truly dystopian cyberpunk machine that will stop at nothing to control their users while the the common folk are left with no options and no awareness of what those Ghz processors are actually used for. That is true ignorance and I'd hope you can see we're on the same team.

One can use multiple different instruments to corroborate our own senses that matter does indeed exist, whereas the explicitly inferred properties of dark matter / energy make it impossible to detect. That honestly seems more religious than anything.

Yes... we can claim that the gravitational effects are what let us 'observe' it, but this is like the former view of geocentrism and then using various orbital corrections to make things work. That is to say, one can choose almost any axiom and then fit predictive models to work around it, but it doesn't mean that the axiom itself is more accurate, and indeed we should always be looking to vet our axioms anyway.

In general, scientists (and academics more generally) suffer from some of the most dogmatic thinking on the planet. It's no surprise that many of them find themselves in institutions that were once known for their theology departments.
Actually, that's how the article ends, and is the general guidance from the WHO (as linked from the article: https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/25/health/world-health-organizat... )

But the article itself talks about how if you move as much as the top quartile, the study predicts gains of years on your life (5-11).

"Total activity levels in the lowest quartile were equivalent to walking for 49 minutes at roughly 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) per hour daily. Total activity levels in the second-, third- and fourth-highest quartiles were equivalent to 78, 105 and 160 minutes, respectively."

That's 160 minutes of physical activity daily, which includes things like walking to a store or up stairs, not just vigorous exercise as the WHO guidelines recommend.

Yeah almost all Euro cars have had strong cryptography immobilizers since the mid to late 90s. It’s pretty shocking how secure those early systems are - to this day car enthusiasts cannot find any weaknesses or bypasses other than flashing the ECU firmware to remove the immobilizer code. A lot of people would rather not have that feature anymore on a 25 year old beater where replacement keys might cost as much as the whole car is worth.

> . How do you think doctors should convince vaccine skeptics that vaccines work

I think this is the root of the problem, because most 'vaccine skeptics' don't actually claim that vaccines don't work. I say this as someone who is not skeptical of vaccines at all. But when I read doctors defending vaccines it comes across as so out of touch with what the 'skeptics' are concerned about.

> In other words, what could I do to convince you in a reasonable amount of time?

For me at least, you don't need to convince me. It's clear that there are a lot of issues with all current formulations of gravitation. It's a pick your poison deal. You say MOND is wrong due to overwhelming evidence. I say the dark matter theories are wrong due to overwhelming lack of evidence that the stuff that is purported to exist even exists. Both wrong... It's hardly a bad thing to be labeled wrong when no one is right.

In general, if you're not right, then I don't see the point in dissing on those you consider wrong
I am no frontend-guy, so I don't understand why in the age of node.js web-servers this ditchonomy exists between server-side and client side (SPA). Can't you initialise/pre-render most of your your stuff on the server, serialise it and push it through the client, which then acts as an SPA already initialised and then updates itself on its own. After all, both are JS? Why is the decision not more flexible where to run code, depending on latency, compute intensity etc. Maybe someone can enlighten me, as this is often left out, probably because it is obvious to someone working with these technologies.
Depends. How many square feet of roof are they doing? At $10 per sq ft, thats 10M sq feet.

Complete newbie on the topic of GL but I find it very interesting.

Q: We seem to want to use our sun for GL experiments. And that requires sending something out 500 AU out for focal length purposes. My question is somewhat theoretical so assume there are no alignment issues for the following thought. Are we not already at the "focal point/line" of some other 'entities' (sun/heavy body/galaxy/etc) gravitational lens?

Hmm... is that what this paper is talking about - the fact that the GL observation was made from Earth on some infinite focal length. Listening to other YT videos on the topic seemed to imply the resolution would be much higher. Or is the resolution location/technology related?
I understand the reason you felt compelled to build this app, but doesn't favicons do the same for us, mostly, help, identify same subdomains and organize them?

Just a thought.

Keep in mind that there are many layers of complex systems between your JS code and what'll end up happening on your system when it's run.

The code defines what the state should look like after its done executing. It expresses your intent. But that code gets transformed several times on the way to being executed and then the hardware can apply mang different possible approaches to executing it when the time comes.

Moreso every year, many of those software transformations, as well as the hardware's execution technique, are quite aggressive about revisiting your program's intent with optimizations (of some kind) that make sense within that context.

The upshot is that the farther you are from your hardware, the more of these layers there are between your code and its execution, the less influence and insight you have over what actually "physically" happens during execution.

When it comes to profiling and optimization of high-level programs like those written in Javascript, this means that it can ve somewhere between hard and impossible to predict how your code changes will actually impact performance.

Radical algorithm redesign can often yield salient diffferences that feel largely predictable, but smaller "precision" changes are often going to be a crap shoot. All those layers between you and the hardware were making optimzations already anyway, and your "precision" change may just as easily confound those existing optimizations as well as it might trigger some other. The results are tricky.

This is even true in lower-level code, where we're encouraged to do things like inspect compiler output on godbolt or in our compilation output and always confirm our expectations with a profiler (which often proves our guesses wrong). But it's all that much more pronounced in high-level ones.

So ultimately, yes, assuming your prevailing algorithms are generally optimal, profiling and optimization is almost always going to feel like a guess-and-test process. But that's okay, because you can test and those tests are usually (not always) telling you if you've made a meaningful difference or not.
Not even this. There's no "logical" argument against it. The CSS color names are largely arbitrary and always have been (e.g. "indigo" is a shade of purple, when IRL indigo is the plant that produces the dye for blue jeans). Color names in general have been arbitrary since long before Newton coined ROYGBIV and decided to use "blue" to mean what we call "cyan" today.

It's an attitude that presumes that we can apply logic to all walks of life, which ironically is an inherently illogical stance.

To be more specific for those wanting to follow your advice, use nextafter to compute +Eps, +1+Eps, etc. rather than assume it's a fixed value like DBL_EPSILON.

>>> from math import nextafter
>>> nextafter(0, 1)
5e-324
>>> nextafter(0, -1)
-5e-324
>>> nextafter(-1, -10)
-1.0000000000000002

My numeric code became much more robust once I started doing this, including using it to find test cases, for example, by computing all distinct rationals (up to a given denominator) in my range of interest, then using nextafter() to generate all values within 5 or so steps from that rational.

For example, one algorithm I had failed with values like 0.21000000000000002 and 0.39999999999999997 , which are one step away from 0.21 and 0.4, respectively.
> They're a good idea, but not a substitute for knowing the rules.

It's a good thing no one made that claim, then.

The whole point is that were seeing people in this thread making all sort of wild claims on how it's virtually impossible to catch these errors in C++ even though back in reality there are a myriad of static analysis and memory checker tools that do just that.

Your average developer also knows how to type in a space character but still it's a good idea to onboard linters and automatic code formatters.
> But if it does, then our understanding is wrong. That means there are new things to discover.

That's a big "if". If magic exists, then maybe Gandalf is real.

That there are new things to discover there is no doubt. I don't know how it relates to your need to believe in ETs visiting Earth, but rest assured we have plenty of things to discover about the universe. Most things we will never know.

> One of the common reported characteristics of some UAP is that they are able to accelerate hypersonic speeds without a sonic boom.

What's tragically unscientific is cherry picking reports (sometimes by people who are not even claiming the final implication you'd like), disregarding the obvious implications (hoax, liars, top secret military tech, etc) and jumping to conclusions.

What's tragically unscientific is not understanding the scientific method and that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

There's three different modes of running a selector in typical browsers:

(a) Element#matches
(b) Element#querySelector(All)
(c) By the engine for updating style and layout

The GP seems to be talking about (b), but even then browsers are checking each element one by one not advancing through the selector state machine in parallel for every element. (There's one exception in the old Cobalt which did advance the state machines IIRC).

(a) and (c) are conceptually very similar except that when doing (c) you're checking many elements at the same time so browsers will do extra upfront costs like filling bloom filters for ancestors or index maps for nth-child.

In TFA they're doing .matches() which I would expect to be slower than a hash map lookup, but for a simple selector like they're doing (just tag name) it shouldn't do much more then:

(1) Parse the selector, hopefully cache that in an LRU
(2) Execute the selector state machine against the element
(2.1) Compare tagName in the selector

Apparently Nokogiri implements CSS in a very inefficient way though by collecting ancestors and then converting the CSS into xpath and matching that:

https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/blob/e8d30a71d70b2...

https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/blob/e8d30a71d70b2...

I'd expect that to be an order of magnitude slower than what a browser does.
Yes that was my question: "why, do you want to do that when it sounds like a futile job to do?"

If you have any kind of transformation (whatever trivial ROT or XOR) of the payload then there is no chance of detecting it via pattern matching, and if you need a "program" to process it into its malicious form, then how does detection work?

I understand you want to keep malicious payload from reaching endpoints in a form that would risk being consumed (malformed documents, images causing buffer overflows, executable and script files). But beyond that?
If those robots could read, they'd be very upset.

Your programming did not cause a fast progressing illness.
I'm answering your initial question directly, but there is more going on that may be more informative.

This is a distinction between computation that is performed on a server, using arbitrary tools, and computation run on a user's machine locally. The former is much more flexible, but comes at a cost of latency; all user input and output must be serialized, and transmitted a long distance. Front end code can result in much lower latency to the user due to ommitting this transmission.

It makes sense to apply a suitable mix of these two tools that varies based on an application's details. For example, an immediate UI response that can be performed using only information already present on the client makes sense to be handled exclusively there, as computation time is minimal compared to transmission and serializtion.

I believe that JS being able to be used on a server is not relevant to the core distinction.
Would this be the case even if you were moving toward or along-side the 'reflector' (black hole/other body)? For the sake of discussion assume we are at or beyond the focal point.
