This might be the easiest "particle physics without a particle accelerator" experiments you can do. This is your accelerator:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_shower_(physics)

And the muons produce two pulses in your detector, one when they are scattered to a stop and another when they decay. By measuring the time between the pulses you can fit the probability distribution and determine the half life of the mupn which is about 2.2 microseconds [1] And of course you can take measurements over time, at different altitudes and in different positions. If it wasn't for relativistic time dilation, muons would mostly decay high up in the atmosphere and not reach the ground.

This was one of the most popular experiments in the Physics 510 lab, which was the only class you had to take to get a Physics PhD at Cornell because it was so easy. It's also popular for high school physics for the same reason.

We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.”

I feel like that second sentence maybe was written wrong? Maybe they meant "do not allow"?

I'm also having trouble even following what it means, or why "weird" is a part of that example. "Weird" isn't a part of the rest of that sentence at all...

> Section 230 needs to go because people get banned or shadow banned for all types of reasons. What's the point if it doesn't protect MathB.in and freedom of speech?

You are yet another person who needs to read the "You Are Wrong About Section 230" TD article, because you're badly misinformed about what it does. Section 230 has nothing whatsoever to do with operators banning users: they can ban or not ban, with or without Section 230. It has basically nothing to do with freedom of speech either.

All Section 230 does-- and it's making me crazy that so many millions of people willfully misunderstand this very simple point-- is ensure that admins who choose to moderate face no additional liability compared to those who don't.
Excluding the obvious rage posts about how dare the bastard..

All systems should be subject to scrutiny especially ones that control the lives of people, if it has faults, then they should be addressed, if it is not fit for purpose it should be replaced with a completely open tender process and adequate timelines.

I know a lot of software guru's who see the ATC system as a smaller problem than harder probelms such as self-driving, as there is less traffic and aircraft work in 3D space but there are many edge case scenario's in every complex system, a ten minute brief for an X soundbyte is not going to uncover them, but a thorough analysis by a tight team of specialists might.

I have no skin in this game but when I'm at 30000 feet flying at 500MPH, I would like to think these systems are getting scutinised.
My gut says a lot of vulnerabilities disclosed like this had probably already been found by those people that won’t disclose them publicly. Programs that expose these vulnerabilities, funded by countries that can afford it, are probably the biggest stopgaps keeping it mostly in the realm of sketchy nation-state intelligence agency shenanigans rather than organized crime with ransomware-gang-level technical savvy and terrorist organizations. The frustrating thing is that there’s no way you can guarantee that some future problem would have been prevented by a program like this — it’s just good societal-level stewardship of our communications infrastructure. People that consider it reasonable for regular people to defend themselves against things like this without societal support and guidance are delusional. Beyond that, if we think we’re going to maintain dominance in the digital space, removing our collective investment in figuring out what that entails based on a dubious assumption that private industry will pick up the slack unprompted is as penny wise and pound foolish as you get.

The UI is not all that great either.

I would like to see:

- of legitimately available downloadable books

- which has a nice UI

but it's far more important that LLMs have training data without consideration of recompense than any other consideration.

Yea, it's hard to convey the non-verbal cues that came along with the phrase. The way he would say it was just dripping with superiority and sarcasm: "If we were -smaaaarrt- [pause to look at the rest of us peasants]... then we would make this so much better..."

To use the binaries, you need the game assets. The only legal way to acquire the game assets is to own the game, as EA have not included them in this release.

This is less a licensing issue, but stating the real limitations, that EA aren't volunteering to do the leg work to remove. Which is fine.

If you are using primarily EU based AWS data centers then I would expect no impact. I would imagine that Amazon (and Google and Microsoft) have EU based corporate entities that own and operate the EU services so in reality your company probably doesn't interact with the US Amazon corporation but a subsidiary.
There is certainly something cultural going on—at least in the US, I notice this. Older generations will look at you with puzzled expressions if you ask them about what made them decide to have children and why they thought it was worth it at the time. Having children simply wasn't a question for people that were born before a certain year.

Analyzing the tradeoffs of having children does not lead to some profound realization—mostly people recognize that it would take a lot of their time, and that sounds like that might make them less happy. But we also know that humans are not really very good at judging what would make them happy.

We also know that as you say, economic forces have normalized a situation where it's difficult for two people to find the time to justify the value of child-rearing. But I find it hard to see how we reverse this trend if the only discussion is economic—people don't have more children in Scandinavia even though the economic burden is lower.
Correct, to achieve 0-RTT the application need to perform the handshake/certificate exchange at least once, otherwise, how would it encrypt the payload? This could be cached preemptively iirc, but it is not worth it.

The problem will be that QUIC uses more userland code and UDP is not as optimized as TCP inside kernels. So far, the extra CPU penalty has discouraged me from adopting QUIC everywhere, I've kept it mostly on the edge-out where the network is far less reliable.
The solution is not to stick strictly to prefix, postifx, or infix notation. Instead, all three should be valid.

All these should be equivalent:

+ a b + c d +
+ + + a b c d
a + b + c + d
a b c d + + +

More insidiously, these should be equivalent:

x = a + b
= + x a b
x a b = +
+ x = a b
x = a b +
x a + b =
> they are largely inspired by Marxist philosophy either directly or indirectly

As I wrote, Marx's critical analysis of capitalism touched on many social topics. You should not be surprised that his work had merit in later social research. You should not be surprised that others who criticize capitalism have overlapping beliefs.

Though do note that "Marxist philosophy", quoting the Wikipedia entry for Marxism, has "branches and schools of thought, and as a result, there is no single, definitive "Marxist theory".

Just like there isn't a single, definitive "liberalism."

> The right are diametrically opposed to Marxism because it relies on an assumption that Man can rise above his Animal instincts.

I ... what? I have no idea what that means. Where does Marx talk about that? How does that have anything to do with class struggle?

> but because of Human nature integration cannot work

What?!?!? English, Welsh, and Scottish cannot integrate? What about Presbyterians and Anglican? Men and women? People with blue eyes and people with brown eyes? Bourgeoisie and proletariat? Gen X and Gen Y?

What does it mean to not integrate when there are different classes in a shared society? They certainly aren't calling for the abolition of class distinction, which is Marx's Communist solution.

> so that the risk of a king is eliminated

Right, so Communism? Otherwise, when there is a power vacuum, something fills it, and without the consent of the people, that's a king, dictator, strongman, or the like.

As it stand, it looks more like the dismantling of the legislative and judicial branches, with all power in the executive.

> given the constraints of the constitution.

I'm pretty convinced the current government does not at all feel itself constrained by the constitution.

> they hope to expand the US to other countries voluntarily

History shows the US has a long history of not expanding voluntarily. What's changed? How has this new right de-fanged itself from the tendencies of the old right, like Andrew Jackson, that they seem to admire so much?

Many Christians also align with liberal and even radical thinking. Integration is possible because everyone is a child of God, and "When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.” ... “The foreigner who resides with you must be to you like a native citizen among you; so you must love him as yourself, because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”

You're suggesting that Trump is working with The Atlantic to push this narrative via this article?
When I was graduating from my Masters (failed PhD :) this overview of various programming models is generally how I thought of things.

I've been writing distributed code now in industry for a long time and in practice, having worked at a some pretty high-scale tech companies over the years, most shops tend to favor static-location style models. As the post states, it's due largely to control and performance. Scaling external-distribution systems has been difficult everywhere I've seen it tried and usually ends up creating a few knowledgeable owners of a system with high bus-factor. Scaling tends to work fine until it doesn't and these discontinuous, sharp edges are very very painful as they're hard to predict and allocate resourcing for.

Are external-distribution systems dead ends then? Even if they can achieve high theoretical performance, operation of these systems tends to be very difficult. Another problem I find with external-distribution systems is that there's a lot of hidden complexity in just connecting, reading, and writing to them. So you want to talk to a distributed relational DB, okay, but are you using a threaded concurrency model or an async concurrency model? You probably want a connection pool so that TCP HOL blocking doesn't tank your throughput. But if you're using threads, how do you map your threads to the connections in the pool? The pool itself represents a bottleneck as well. How do you monitor the status of this pool? Tools like Istio strive to standardize this a little bit but fundamentally we're working with 3 domains here just to write to the external-distribution system itself: the runtime/language's concurrency model, the underlying RPC stack, and the ingress point for the external-distribution system.

Does anyone have strong stories of scaling an external-distribution system that worked well? I'd be very curious. I agree that progress here has stalled significantly. But I find myself designing big distributed architecture after big distributed architecture continuing to use my deep experience of architecting these systems to build static-location systems because if I'm already dealing with scaling pains and cross-domain concerns, I may as well rip off the band-aid and be explicit about crossing execution domains.

Your cherry picking and eliminating important context. I think that's part of the problem here. Or maybe you just stopped reading after it hit the comma which then provided the context in which that criticism is allowed. Whatever the reason for you eliminating the context and failing to comprehend the context is actually part of the problem.

One thing people don't realize is how little these USFS, NP, BLM etc. workers are paid. These are not "fat cats" in DC. Wages are very low. But they're willing to accept the low pay because they care about that what they're doing makes it possible for our country to enjoy our beautiful nature. (Not saying every single person, but this is the prevailing sentiment.)

The little money that we as a country are saving (and we're not actually saving any money, it's being redirected to a large border security budget) is by no means conmensurate with the large amount of damage we are doing long term.

But if all you care about is extracting natural resources from our environment, then the USFS, BLM etc. are just a thorn in your side.

> Hold up, how are they generating a private key from a public key?

They are not. They are generating a private/public key pair where the first 46 bits of the public key happen to match the victim's BLE address.

The find-my network then accepts beacons (encrypted with the attacker's private key) from this address, and stores it in iCloud to be retrieved by the attacker via the 46-bit prefix.

Show HN: PDF-joiner – Join PDFs on Mac with native macOS utilities
PDF-joiner is a lightweight command-line utility that makes it easy to combine multiple PDF files on macOS. It leverages the built-in macOS PDF joining utility rather than requiring additional dependencies or libraries. Written in Go, it provides a simple interface for merging PDFs with options to specify output paths. Perfect for those who prefer native tools and command-line workflows over installing additional PDF manipulation software.
This is certainly anecdata, but based on that date in the quote and the different behavior I see in male vs. female friends, I doubt this is a split between rates of depression so much as there is a stronger female norm to seek help from professionals whereas this is like pulling teeth with the guys. That date looks suspiciously like COVID derailed men seeking help and they haven’t bounced back or they’ve found other maladaptive coping mechanisms in higher numbers than women.

That sounds reasonable, but they could have worded it differently.

They first statement about DX:

> or write new replacements (or remove the code using them entirely) for the following libraries;

But, they say that binary is proprietary regardless, no conditions. So it is very difficult to say.

If the code compiles without assets (no mention about them, it sounds like it should compile), then the resulting binary should be free to use. Missing runtime assets are different problem, and separate from the binary usage permissions.
Haven't read the post yet (I should, I have been vaguely following y'all along but obviously not close enough!) How is this different from delta-based CRDTs? I've built (admittedly toy) CRDTs as DAGs that ship deltas using lattice operations and it's really not that hard to have it work. There's already CRDT based distributed stores out there. How is this any different?

I believe it is correct when they say they do allow when the allegations of mental illness are based in the context of religious or political discourse around transgenderism. I believe if you just made a blanket statement absent any context it would be disallowed.

Also The inclusion of the non-serious example word weird, is simply a way of demonstrating that saying you believe transgenders are weird isn't offensive speech against their community guidelines. That seems very sensible to me because many people are weird for many attributes often times we attribute weird to anyone not like us.

nginx's memory footprint is tiny for what it delivers. A common pattern I see for homelab and self-hosted stuff is a lightweight bastion VPS in a cloud somewhere proxying requests to more capabile on-premise hardware over a VPN link. Using a cheap < $5mo means 1GB or less of RAM, so you have to tightly watch what is running on that host.
Most contracts in EU are with MS Ireland or Google Ireland or xyz Ireland. So 'tariffs' will not affect the pricing per se. What will get weird is when Google will decide to expand their DC or replace X number of hardware, in which case they will ask mamaGoogle to sell to Google Ireland the hardware. Would there be tariffs? (when a company transfers assets to a subsidiary?)(I think not)(someone please correct me)

You're probably not paying Amazon (US) directly, but instead their European subsidiary. Amazon (EU) is the importer buying services from Amazon (US) for a fee. If that fee gets taxed, Amazon (US) could simply decide to charge nothing (or only a symbolic amount) until the trade spat blows over.

In the case where a European customer uses resources (and causes costs) in the US, there's a risk of losing money if the "tariff" never goes away, so they would likely have to raise prices for that use case to account for the risk.

If a European customer only causes costs in Europe, that risk is nil, so there wouldn't be a need to raise prices, but Amazon could decide that it's a good excuse to do so anyway.
Depends on the individual situation obviously.
