I read suggestions at least 40 years ago that we should get rid of all land based nuclear assets because, in the case of an actual nuclear war, they will massively increase the amount of radioactive fallout and long term contamination the survivors will have to deal with.

That’s just the standard partial derivative in multivariable calculus. This one I have no trouble to understand. My question is about "at constant something" as used in thermodynamics, where "at constant something" is clearly doing more work than just "partial derivative". What work ? How ? Damned if I know.

Consider f(x,y,z), let’s say f(x, y, z) = x^2 + 3y^3 - e^(-z). What’s the difference between "the partial derivative of f with respect to x" and "the partial derivative of f with respect to x at constant y" ? The first one is already at constant y !

In standard multivariate calculus, the partial derivative of f with respect to x , as you explained, is always "at constant y and z".

In thermodynamics, you can say things like "partial derivative of pressure with respect to volume" and add "at constant temperature" or "at constant entropy" and get different results. What ? Why ? How ?
> then how about we means test those rich folks and roll THEIR Social Security benefits down to people who actually need it?

Best way to get otherwise reasonable people to stop supporting social nets. Making a welfare system designed to support only the least well-off is the first step to removing it.

Tiktok algorithms could be considered a form of editorial position(be it foreign government influenced one, or just the type of content they elevate / not remove), and in this sense it is similar to banning a newspaper(which would obviously be censorship) -- journalists could publish in other newspapers. Therefore banning TikTok absolutely is censorship.

>This isn't like China where the government bans any services they can't control

This is literally like this, and done precisely due to the lack of control due to the illegality of overt/direct speech regulation, and the fears that China would elevate content that isn't in the interest of the US in the broadest sense, but that is still legal according to the 1st amendment. The US Government has tremendously more influence on the local/western platforms, and on people who work there. (There is already an appeals court decision about Biden administration overstepping in communicating with online platforms about what content they don't like). The logic goes "We can't regulate speech like we want to, order what we like and what we don't like, but at least we can remove/censor individual owner-editors that we suspect might harbor some harmful intentions. That means no owners from 'evil' countries". That's about it.
You are derailing my question above with a whataboutism here and I am being downvoted for pointing that out.

There are problems with a lot of things in the world, for instance the rentier economy you mention here. But I don't owe anyone a solution to that just because I want to know which privatisations are the cause of the Swedish energy production and price crisis.
Nice question! Rainstorm pulls from a rich history of ciphers and cryptohashes. It’s based on ARX-like mixing (though it swaps addition for subtraction—hence XSR: XOR, Subtract, Rotate) to create non-linearity, while borrowing structural ideas from Feistel networks, sponge constructions, and Merkle–Damgård iteration. It fits into the “experimental hybrid” category, exploring whether combining paradigms can offer fresh resilience or reveal new weaknesses. Definitely more to expand on, and you can read more, here: https://dosaygo-research.github.io/rain/paper/crypto-note.pd...

Hopefulyl this gives an overview of some of the historical influences and inspirations.
I agree, designing for 3D printing and more specifically designing for multi-color or multi-material can help save a lot of time and material.

Additionally, printing any number of copies of the same multicolor object will result in the same amount of waste. This doesn't reduce the absolute amount of waste, just makes it a smaller % of the total material used.

Also worth looking into the "wipe into object" setting in the slicer, which will use the color changes in an extra model instead of purging them.
These phones didn't have the modern smartphone architecture where there are separate CPU cores for the user OS and the modem. It's one single CPU core that does both the UI and all the low-level stuff required for communication with the tower. They were going to replace the board that contains that CPU and all the radio circuitry with one they were going to design from scratch around that 4G module.

EDIT: forgot to mention that SSPL might lead us to Girardian logic, in a duel between code and data: with sum types, data has the initiative, and code must be ready, beforehand, to parry and riposte appropriately for all possibilities; with product types, code has the initiative, and data must be ready, beforehand, to parry and riposte appropriately for all possibilities. Eliminating sums is a projection operator on code; eliminating products is a projection operator on data.
Your argument implies that banning was the only option… it wasn’t. They could’ve continued operating just the same had they sold the company.
> I wonder what panacea you see out there that’s less authoritarian and where you could keep your “high earner” social status.

Throw a dart on a world map and chances are you'll land somewhere suitable. Any other first world country would be better for example.

> It’s a shame that Britain gave one of its “high earner” jobs to someone who’d enjoy seeing it collapse.

Britain didn't give me anything. They were unable to supply qualified individuals for a role that requires them, so they had to import a skilled worker on a visa that makes me ineligible to any public money, forces me to leave the country within 2 months should I lose my job, yet forces me to give the equivalent of 5 minimum wages of salary to taxes all the while having no benefits compared to said minimum wage workers and "enjoying" the same public services, such as a one year waiting list for a procedure that I got done for free in a day in the country where I used to live.

I also didn't say I would enjoy to see it collapse, I said that the solution to push back against those authoritarian measures, and other anti-middle-class policies is to vote with the only vote we are given: our wallet.

Most relevant software today runs in web browsers or are cross-platform applications, so even when you have a Windows laptop, you probably spend most time in a web browser or a webview wrapped in an app and not in a native and exclusive Windows application.

That's a very different situation from 20 years ago, where a lot of important software only existed for Windows.

E.g. today you can just ditch Windows and install Linux on that same old laptop and wouldn't lose anything important.
I don't think it's "better" to make kids check a multitude of ever-changing apps and screens just to find out their timetable for the day.

What on earth is the point? When I was a kid we just had the same timetable repeating every week. It changed once a year, at the beginning of the academic year, meaning that within a few weeks I knew it from memory and didn't need to keep looking it up.

In the extremely rare event that things deviated from the timetable, the school found a way to tell us. It's not hard to convey a message to a group of students when you know exactly which room they'll physically be in at any given moment; another advantage of a fixed timetable.

If the school can't accomplish such basic tasks as scheduling a simple timetable, that's the adults' problem, not the children's.

I remember that Motorola, I was opening a student bank account and they offered a free 3 year student railcard (to buy discount tickets), a camera or that motorola - I was just about to get it when the lack of Snake and also the pretty poor contract it came on made me jump for the Railcard.

But still felt wild at the time that they were 'giving away' a mobile phone.

People have been critiquing the collaborative filtering aspect of this work vs content analysis ("[why use stars instead of code similarity]") but there's something elegant about the simplicity of using less priors here.

A tf*idf matrix could be applied to the star-feature matrix too. Document = github repo. Term = name of user who starred it.

THUS, users who overstar are simply less important for computing similarities.

This would mitigate the phenomenon of massively popular github repos being clustered together because of folks who blithely star the most well known stuff.

I don't think it's brainwashing, at least obviously (could be covert operations behind the scenes and we'd never know, like anything), but i will say it has pioneered a form of 'brain rot' that is simply leagues above all else. Not the freedom of expression, the dopamine dependance and impulsion of the infinite scroll. I'd much prefer we outlaw that specific technology, i think the world would be better for it. Stop the autoplay too. It almost feels sometimes like my eyes are being held open ala clockwork orange. People see so much shit in there that they don't remember ingesting that i can believe there's brainwashing experiments going on. You could do anything with that feed and no one would notice, but they would still see it. There's already discussions online about how "is everyone else getting these kind of videos now?", i see it about every 2 weeks. Some popular personality (to me) goes on and says, "have you seen this crazy looking homeless guy?" And everyone in the audience says "omg yes, he showed out of nowhere for me to and i can't stop seeing his vids". I've seen this play out around a dozen times now with thousands and thousands of people in agreement. So, i mean, no one controls their own algorithm. Maybe that's what we need. Let me see the code, let me alter it if i so choose, but let me see if you're changing my weights or pushing specific things to me. They'll never do that though unless it's an American company that can be forced to do so.
I've had four HMD phones, two feature and two Android smart phones. The hardware usually feels really good, but all of them have had poor phone quality (even on different carriers). People would tell me if sound like I was underwater or far away from the phone while not using speaker), sometimes it would just drop the audio and I couldn't hear the other person, etc.

I guess I still have nostalgia for some of the late Nokia phones, like the n900 and e72.

My current Android HMD has been fine, but still has call issues (people often don't hear me for like 5-8 seconds when I call them; speak from just randomly stops working during calls).
> Is it also wrong that they so far weren't labeled as [copy-pasted], and/or [outsourced to influencer management agency], and/or [not by ${influencer name}]?

IMO, yes. Copy-pased might be accepteable if it is the author himself doing the selection of what to copy and paste.

If the main value of the comments is interacting with the person in question then anything less is fraud. If authenticity doesn't matter then the label won't impact the desired effect.

Should people know that these interactions have never been genuine? Yes. Is that an excuse for scamming people? Absolutely not.

Any evidence potentially supporting that?

To me it seems that every time a congress critter gets briefed behind closed doors they come out resolved to ban TikTok. Therefore, most likely, the Chinese probably have some insidious goal like profiling every American to ever post online.
Yeah "effective comments on wealth, power, and misogyny" is one of the least interesting and surface level takes of EWS and are not why it's interesting or so hypnotic.

Social media has been fueling fights in schools since at least 2005. And probably well before that if you loosen the definition of social media.

I’m sure phones are a problem, but school administrators have always preferred to blame everyone but themselves for their lack of control over discipline and bullying.
For comparison, Wikipedia says that 70 kilotons were dropped on Gaza in the first 6 months of the current campaign and between 10 and 20 kilotons in the bombing campaign of 2014.
Totally! When I got my Nokia 5146 (still basically a 5110) - you had to pay I think £50 for the phone, plus the contract of £15 a month.

A month or two later you could get the 3210 for free, plus a better contract from orange, that took advantage of the MMS options - plus had the programmable ringtones which was soooooo much cooler than the 5110.

I was lucky to jump from the 5110 to the 8210, and then to a 8250 which I adored and used on an off through to 2007 - when I moved to the E61 then e71 - which both still hold a very special place in my heart!

So it's about ownership? Just a business? There is no issues with censorship or data harvesting?
I think the idea here is to basically create a new phone, but use the original case, buttons and display.
In my experience, people use the term in two separate ways.

If I'm running a software business selling software that runs on 'consumer hardware' the more people can run my software, the more people can pay me. For me, the term means the hardware used by a typical-ish consumer. I'll check the Steam hardware survey, find the 75th-percentile gamer has 8 cores, 32GB RAM, 12GB VRAM - and I'd better make sure my software works on a machine like that.

On the other hand, 'consumer hardware' could also be used to simply mean hardware available off-the-shelf from retailers who sell to consumers. By this definition, 128GB of RAM is 'consumer hardware' even if it only counts as 0.5% in Steam's hardware survey.

I did, two times, with slightly different models, and they are of exceptionally poor quality: dead after one year, very buggy firmware. The customer support is an AI with no real answer. They recommended to install an app "from the Google Play app store" which is nonsense for a dumbphone.

They are very cheap noname phones, branded with the name Nokia, but I am sure no Nokia R&D team was involved in these products.
Yes, it was really forced by labor unions, tenant unions and other active forms of organization who were at the time very aggressive. People died over it. There were general strikes, sabotage and liter am armed conflict over it. Things would have gotten much worse if the business cartel had not signed the peace accord. That's why they did, because they were forced to.

My comment history is short if you're curious about the comment itself. But in general for writing sales copy, I found The Copywriter's Handbook by Robert Bly very helpful, especially the first five chapters. Some of it can seem a bit sleazy to IT folks (the book is primarily written for people who write ads for a living) but there's great advice in there.
They should, but "should have known better" has never been a good excuse for scamming the ignorant.
I wanted to read more of the Austrian economics as well. So many things they got right, and so many issues we have in current society because of this.

I know unsolicited advice are not great, but maybe instead of giving github all that free content, you could just pop it on your own domain and then have a lot more control over what's happening.
