Are there actionable consequences if these numbers get too high? If they're merely published, as a parent, I would see high numbers as a positive signal if anything...

The Yukawa potential is also just a more "classical" limit of an inherently quantum mechanical process. Sure you can explain things with it and even do some practical calculations, but if you plan on going to the bottom of it it'll always fail. If you want to explain Feynman propagators correctly you basically have to explain so many other things first, you might as well write a whole book. And even then you're trapped in the confines of perturbation theory, which is only a tiny window into a much bigger world. I really don't think it is possible to convey these things in a way that is both accurate (in the sense that it won't lead to misunderstandings) and simple enough so that people without some hefty prerequisites can truly understand it. I wish it were different. Because this is causing a growing rift between scientists and the normal population.

I’ve used dynamodb before but most people have no idea what they’re talking about re: it and start blaming the tool.

Like when we implemented it me and my colleague spent a couple days understanding single table design and how to handle the access patterns we wanted to support.

Trying to explain this to paper smart but lazy colleagues who then skipped understanding and went straight to implement something wrong and blamed the tool really opened my eyes.

For us dynamo made sense. We were tracking global quantities and things like that. Didn’t need to be real time but did need to be present across regions fast.
That doesn't excuse speeding up, though – if the yellow light is long enough, you will always be able to either a) safely stop with a certain given maximum deceleration, or else b) continue at your current speed and enter the intersection before the light turns red.

> Not everyone uses Latin-based scripts

Actually, everyne does use Latin-based scripts extensively. Maybe not exclusively but your almost all text-like data intended to be consumed by programs will mainly be Latin-based scripts. So even for languages where you have characters that need 3-bytes in UTF-8 but two in UTF-16 you can still end up saving memory with UTF-8 because all the boilerplate syntax around your fancy characters is ASCII.
If it’s unimportant then why is there a rule against it? Why did everyone agree to this rule when they bought a home there if it didn’t matter? Clearly it exists for a reason and if no one enforced it then it’s completely pointless

False. EUV tech is 100% researched and manufactured in the US.

Edit to answer @
looofooo0: EUV tech comes from Sandia Labs research that ASML licensed, and the EUV light sources (there's no such thing as an EUV laser, the Trmpf is a regular laser firing into tin droplets for EUV generation) are made by Cymer in the US which ASML integrates them into their stepper which is a relative commodity item in comparison to the light-source.

Wealth is currently taxed at death, so it's totally doable while people are living. Plus, regulations are fairly heavy in terms of disclosing one's wealth, so it shouldn't be that difficult.

Sure some people will hide some wealth, but it's illegal, and the IRS is not really soft on tax evasion. "legal" evasion through offshoring and stuff is a problem but it's a problem for all taxes, not particularly wealth tax.

Plenty of countries have implemented a wealth tax.

The United States possessed approximately 12% of the world's global chip manufacturing capacity as of 2021. This is a notably lower percentage of global capacity than the US enjoyed just a few decades previously (37% in 1990, for instance), before countries such as Taiwan and China ramped up their semiconductor production capabilities. Despite this decline, the semiconductor industry remains quite lucrative in the US. According to the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), semiconductors exports added $62 billion (USD) to the US economy in 2021, more than any product other than refined oil, aircraft, crude oil, and natural gas. Many of these imported chips return to the US in the form of finished consumer electronics.

Although the US held just 12% of the world's total semiconductor manufacturing capacity in 2021, US-based companies held approximately 46.3 percent of the total semiconductor market share. This seeming discrepancy can be explained by both the dollar value of imported US semiconductors, outlined above, and the fact that many US-based companies own and operate semiconductor fabrication plants in other countries, such as Japan. In such cases, the manufacturing capacity is added to that country's capacity rather than the capacity of the US, but the profits typically count as part of the US economy.
The migration app of choice appears to be .. xiaohongshu, or "little red book". I'm guessing this won't last since it wasn't intended to have lots of Westerners using it and neither government is going to be happy with that scale of unfiltered contact between ordinary Chinese citizens and US citizens.

> I still lean into events & eventual consistency to manage state across the various nodes.

You can get really far with a RDMS before event sourcing etc is needed, the benefit being both your dev and user experience are going to be much simpler and easier.

If you already know your problem domain and scaling concerns up front sure. But starting with a scalable pattern like this is a premature optimization otherwise and will just slow you down.

More generally, imposing "self-consistency" on a closed cycle of interactions is just a matter of picking a fixed point. Such a fixed point will always exist if the underlying system is continuous - and continuity may always be assumed if the system be non-deterministic. (For example, a billiard ball enters a wormhole sending it to the past with probability 50%, or else it is knocked away by a billiard ball sent from the future (and does not enter the wormhole) with probability 50%. This system is self-consistent, but this is achieved by a "mixture" of two outcomes.)

Yep, silly old law written by people who don't cycle. It might have had a place 40 years ago, but modern bike brakes are so easy to use (and keep adjusted) that it's at best an anachronism and at worst now a safety hazard in it's own right.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what this TikTok ban is supposed to be about? It feels a bit satanic panic from a distance.
Right, but free models you run on your local computer are just as good for 99% of use cases and don't cost an arm and a leg.

I wonder if AI could create a "commentary" script that instructs the TTS how to read certain words or chapters. The commentary would be like an additional meta-track to help the TTS make the best reading.

That should actually be possible to do already with existing tech. I haven't seen if you can instruct Kokoro to read in a certain way, does anyone know if this is possible?
That sounds rather like the way the Pimsleur approach teaches. It drills fundamentals of grammar through fairly basic "travel vocabulary," but once you have that foundation you can go pretty far.

Taiwan from the invading CCP military.
Thank you. I get irrationally angry, when I hear the 'socialization' argument, precisely because of the experience you described. To be fair, it does, in a weird way, prepare you for some areas of adulthood, but I think those areas are thankfully somewhat avoidable.
That seems unlikely. The play store lists it at 10m+ downloads and it's still a very Chinese app. I checked it out myself. This is people trying to troll the US government
I think that the law "banning" TikTok applies to any Chinese app with over 1 million US users, so Xiaohongshu/Rednote or anywhere else the TikTok refugees flee will be a target - except YouTube shorts and Facebook/Instagram reels of course.
nosql does not imply no schema
Bound to happen when the internet becomes weaponized, unfortunately. It's kind of crazy to begin with that we put all of our public infrastructure on a network Russia and China have wired access to from their home countries and it's lasted this long when you think about it.
With embeddings, there might not be tags to display. Instead of labeling the photo with a tag of “dog”, it might just check whether the embedding of each photo is within some vector distance of the embedding of your search text.
Another great resource is the ODGProd catalog. As I gather, everything they publish is free to download for personal consumption. It's a specific niche of music, so you won't just find anything on there, but if someone likes modern dub, reggae and closely related genres, they can be a goldmine. While the tunes are downloadable, they also publish on major music streaming sites too, and have a live stream on YouTube as well, so it's easy to get into.
The CCP keeps saying that Taiwan is part of China.
I don't think TikTok shutting down is great for its users (of which I am one). There are genuine areas of concern but I have concerns about US based social platforms as well.

It's hard to unpick these thoughts and it's harder to decide what a good outcome would look like.
Thanks for the info. The project is relatively in the nascent stage. Will sort out the issues sooner.
If you read reviews for kids foreign-language language books on Amazon, you'll see a fair amount of adults reading it for themselves mixed in. That's a little more self-directed but the vocab and sentence structure is organically restrained and the books are fun!
caveat: I've only read two books in this manner incidentally, but I knew some people who did this kind of thing on the side during our college language classes.
You may want to know: the high-res images which are offered for downloading contain the same image which is shown on the page, that is, the infographic.

Not worth the download, as I thought that it would contain a huge panorama of the sky.
what seems unlikely? it's simply a fact that many are going to the other app. as you said yourself, 10m+ downloads on play store, #1 on ios app store, etc.
Sure. This is a great model to adopt if you believe corporations exist to destroy people.

If a construction site was sending formerly qualified people away no longer able to work we would definitely investigate their practices. Tech deserves the same scrutiny.
This was called ontology or semantic network. See e.g. OpenCyc (although it's rather more elaborate). What you propose is rather different than word embeddings, since it can't compare word features (think: connotations) nor ambiguity, and the way to discover similarities symbolically is not a well-understood problem.
The use case is very little kids. They can use a balance bike about the same time they can toddle about the house (but before they can walk longer distances without support or tumbles).
> never choose Times New Roman or Arial, as those fonts are favored only by the apathetic and sloppy.

Its a pity the author doesn't explain why.

For some reason times new roman looks very good printed but is not very well readable on screens. Personally I don't like Arial much. A big no no is the capital i being indistinguishable from the l of lima.
<sigh />

Factually? Nope. It was performative suicide, by someone who very obviously could have caused massive casualties. (Vs. 7 bystanders with slight injuries.)

But politically - talking it up as terrorism is extremely useful for any number of politicians, journalists, and gov't officials.
Politicians realized just how powerful the corporate surveillance and propaganda system is, and they don't want to share it with China.
Agreed. There's a certain age where kids will parrot back whatever you tell them, to whoever they feel like telling. "My parents say you don't value your kids because you let them play video games all day" is a very efficient way to lose friends and alienate people.
I think it's rarely about performance and more about organisation. If there's only one developer and it's fairly basic, you neither need the code organising nor state propagation benefits that come with most modern frameworks.
As a casual observer, I don't understand why YouTube Shorts isn't the obvious successor? The UI is better than TikTok ever was and a lot of the most popular creators are already mirroring their content there?
It's far more complex than that. TikTok is a Chinese company with immense reach and influence that can shape American public discourse. A global superpower cannot allow another global superpower to influence its population so significantly through social media (which is also why Facebook is banned in China).
> In my experience, it's because they didn't actually see you

Are we supposed to simply assume that nobody ever reads any application we send in? I don't see how this works out anyway but negatively for the company. If I don't hear back from you, I'll just assume you don't want to hire me. There's no semantic difference in my mind between this and sending me a note that you've read and rejected my resume—especially in an industry where it's normal to simply ghost someone rather than issue a formal rejection.

I see we're talking in circles. I'll drop the conversation.

"I miss being 9 years old"

It wasn't possible to share videos with the world in 2000 unless you owned a television broadcasting network. In 2000 you could not freely socialize with Chinese people on the Internet.
My neighbor who already knew how to ride a balance bike thought herself how to ride a bike all on her own at 4-5 years old. I was in the hammock watching her roll down a small incline where getting to pedaling is even easier than on a flat. That was an amazing moment watching another human being having an absolutely awesome day. She might be exceptionally good at this though she is now 12 and rides unicycles
PivotalTracker replacement – what do you think?
We love PivotalTracker and made a replacement tool called LiteTracker (https://litetracker.app). You can see a sneak peek at short video presentation https://youtu.be/3qBl1YYOTAI?si=kFKFTZlhHgwb-MFW

What do you think? Is this something users would consider moving to?
Similar experience here.

The kids used the kick scooters to get school (faster than walking, so they were motivated, and not yet allowed to ride a bike, "insurance reasons", whatever), so they used them a lot. After that, switching to a real bicycle wasn't hard.
It's generally not wise to let your geopolitical rival have extensive influence over your populace, which is why CCP doesn't let American companies like Meta operate in China.

Turnabout is fair play.
I use both and YouTube Short produces mostly just garbage for me. AI voice videos that will get your attention, but has little content. TikTok's algorithm on the other hand is much better and provides quality, half-long-form content.
