Information is a bit weird as a way to put it, but it may be correct. Still, in case this is very intentional wording, the information about the electrical circuit being lit up will (that is, any photon emitted at the moment and location that the voltage appeared, such as hitting a switch to close a circuit) still travels at c in all directions. It's only the (main) electric current that travels at 60-80% of c and along the wire.

Also, the phenomenon being discussed in the Veritasium video is slightly different, and that video sort of mixes up two things to make things more mysterious.

The simple explanation for what is going on in the video is that whenever you have a voltage change in a circuit, such as closing it with a switch, you get a tiny bit of radio waves being emitted radially outwards from that point out *.

In the Veritasium experiment, with a very precise measurement tool, they could detect the tiny radio pulse emitted by the switch at the moment it was closed, far before the main current reached the same point moving along the long wires.

The other thing he was mixing this up with is the Poynting vector, which is a mathematical object that represents the direction along which power (as in, worl, the thing you measure in Watts, not the actual current which you'd measure in Amperes) propagates in an electrical circuit. It's not clear at all that the Poyinting vector is a meaningful aspect of reality and not just some mathematical tool. It does happen to coincide with the direction that the radio waves propagate as described earlier, so some physicists do like to interpret it as a deeper, physically real, thing that is related, but you can just as easily ignore it.

Note that when I say that it's "not real", this is similar to how I would describe the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian of a classical mechanics system. It's an extremely useful mathematical tool and it predicts the behavior of the system perfectly well, and is mathematically equivalent to Newton's laws of motion. But while the laws of motion describe real direct aspects of reality, such as objects having mass and momentum, the Lagrangian doesn't really represent an actual thing in physical reality.

The above comes with a gigantic caveat: in QM, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian correspond to the wave function, which is, to the best of our current understanding, the real underlying thing behind reality, with particles and waves and things localized being the artifical objects we introduce merely for convenience.

* This is normally completely negligible for DC current, but for AC current, where the current switches direction all the time, a relatively high amount of radio waves get generated radically put from the wires along their whole direction. This can lead to problems such as AC power lines causing significant radio interference. This is also normally described as "parasitic", since the power those waves carry is lost from the transmission line, which is designed to carry as much as possible of the power generated at the source towards the destination.
I'm guessing it is because the developer at Netscape that added frame support thought about it for 5 seconds and came up with the name. Maybe if Lou Montulli sees this he would know?
Yes they're still labeled Made in Germany. Although what exactly is made in Germany is unknown to me.

They might even just do the bare minimum for that compliance , and put together sloppily made Chinese made parts in a cardboard box in some warehouse in Germany and call that Made in Germany in order to get subsides from the German state for maintaining jobs in Germany.
I use the default theme of GNOME.

Where theming matters - for me - is the shell and source-code, because readability is crucial and I want it nice. I also care about it on the TTY with screen.
1g/day is a pretty extreme dose, even disregarding that most users don't consume it daily.
One thing that I find hard to understand is how you're able to connect to a random peer online with just an IP and port combination. The peer is likely behind a NAT proxy, and never communicated with you to begin with. In my head, NAT shouldn't allow this connection through, or be able to associate the port with the individual peer machine since the connection source (you) is arbitrary.

This is possible with port forwarding. But that's a niche set of peers, who have the power to configure port forwarding on a NAT proxy.

I think you don’t have widespread adoption until AI takes the form of a plug-and-play “remote employee”.

You click a button on Microsoft Teams and hire “Bob” who joins your team org, gets an account like any other employee, interacts over email, chat, video calls, joins meetings, can use all your software in whatever state it’s currently in.

It has to be a brownfield solution because most of the world is brownfield.
While it's almost never a compiler error, it happens, and I have personal experience; I once found an error in the VAX/VMS Pascal compiler - and could demonstrate it as such by disassembling the compiler output - and had to work around it until DEC fixed it.

This is by design. US government isn't gonna kneecap it's most valuable companies now, since they're also monopolizing the international tech markets including the European one, and as long as China isn't taming its own monopolistic giants, then the US has no incentive to do it to themselves considering the economic war they're in now.

The US government threw the book at Microsoft in the 90s when tech was a small slice of the US GDP and it had no international competition, but today the tech sector is the biggest engine of GDP growth in the US, so there's no way the US government is gonna throw a spanner in that just to be richeous.

In the current economic and political climate, having a monopoly on monopolistic giants like the US does, is much better than having no monopolistic giants like the EU, since nice guys do indeed finish last.

Been seeing a lot of these in the news lately.
As one of the OW designers, and a daily HN reader, this is an unexpected but highly pleasant mention of the game here!
IIRC, when both peers only have some subset of pieces, they are meant to “trade” with each other, and so will eventually drop low value peers for higher value ones. Aside from the adversarial case, this helps optimise for being nearer to the people you are sharing with, since torrents are global.

In practice, BitTorrent really needs seeders who have downloaded the entirety of the file to be fast for everything except really popular downloads, Seeders don’t really check for fairness and will typically upload to whoever they can the fastest (with a limit on number of peers).

There’s an even more adversarial case because the unit of validation (a piece with a fixed hash from the spec) might be bigger than the chunks that are being shared individually. So it’s possible for a peer to fake having pieces and upload garbage data instead, and they wouldn’t be caught since different chunks came from different peers.

I find the detail interesting but I think this is somewhat tangential. What we're talking about is cheating vs non-cheating AI. How it happens to be implemented is largely inconsequential. And it's obviously entirely possible to create a non-cheating AI with scalable difficulty, and there's not a player alive that'd miss the current systems of incapable AI that generates a challenge by excessive cheating.

It's an interesting discussion. There's always a divide when you slowly migrate from one thing to another.

What makes this interesting is that the difference between C code an Rust code is not something you can just ignore. You will lose developers who simply don't want or can spend the time to get into the intricacies of a new language. And you will temporarily have a codebase where 2 worlds collide.

I wonder how in retrospect they will think about the decisions they made today.
I don't think it's AI servers for Apple silicon. I think it's just regular x86 Linux servers to power Apple's AI cloud services. It's a commitment to internal investment rather than a product.
Most torrent clients I know support UPnP and/or NAT-PMP to request port forwarding from routers. As you say, it just isn't going to work for many people without this.

I run a BitTorrent service for an academic institution, to disseminate research data. We have a regular routable IP address, but still need to navigate the institutional firewall.
This is pretty much the exact way I think about it. IQ tests roughly measure the output of the engine but don't say anything about the driver. Metacognition and executive function for instance are cognitive domains which IQ tests don't really capture but are nevertheless essential for many real world cognitive activities.

* It works out of the box, and continues to work with no (or only minimal) tuning (no vacuum, etc)

* Scaling up through replication is straightforward

* Every techstack supports MySQL/MariaDB

In short: Good enough, No drama.

In my experience developers prefer PostgreSQL, while SysOps / DevOps / SRE's prefer MariaDB.
I looked into this a while back, and found some reviews from some branch of the Canadian health authorities, that said that euphoric effect of methylphenidate fades more with tolerance than the therapeutic effect.

So you will still be getting some adhd related benefits from it, even if you're not feeling that little rush that you felt when you first started taking it.

Like the other commentator, I do like to skip some days occasionally (mostly on weekends). I usually see on day 1 that I was most definitely getting some benefit from it the day before, even when it didn't feel like it.
I don't think it's AI servers for Apple to sell. I think it's just regular x86 Linux servers to power Apple's AI cloud services. It's a commitment to internal investment rather than a product.
If you haven't tried OpenAI's advanced voice mode, it's a mind blowing version of exactly what things like Siri really ought to become with a little more development. If that's what you mean by LLM Siri, I totally agree.

Being able to chat casually with low latency, correct yourself, switch languages mid-sentence, incorporate context throughout a back-and-forth conversation etc. turns talking to these kinds of systems from a painful chore into something that can actually add value.
We Lost the Flow
> Add some racism into this mix

>> or in Russia

That's not correct.

The article describes a case where over the course of ten years more than a dozen of Russian women living in a facility for people with mental development issues were tricked into consenting to sterilization. It created a nationwide scandal when became public and was under investigation by law enforcement authorities.

Nothing racist, nothing systemic.
the answer to this problem in general is NAT hole punching, but BitTorrent doesn't actually have an answer to your problem. if you are behind a NAT, you can only connect to peers that are not behind a NAT or have port forwarding set up. for popular torrents this is good enough because you don't have to connect to all peers.

> This is possible with port forwarding. But that's a niche set of peers, who have the power to configure port forwarding on a NAT proxy.

yes it's niche but I guess this means BitTorrent isn't as P2P in practice as one wants it to be, but held up by seedboxes.

>So, what's your replacement machine consist of?

Now it's FreeBSD14.1-RELEASE with a AMD Ryzen9 7950x (no 3d) still my old RX580, 64GB 4800 ECC Ram, 2x pci4 2TB nvme one for windows one for FreeBSD (i plan to buy a pci5 later that year), and two HD's 6TB mirrored for backup's and archive-stuff (just accessible from FreeB).

>I gotta figure out what to do with the old machine now...

It think i will sell/gift it to someone, since i have a ML350p Gen8 server too...but to be honest it hurts a little bit, that was such a good warhorse.

BTW: I will probably buy a new GPU if pci5 card's are on the market and affordable and the driver is in FreeBSD...so let's say in a year or more ;)
How is this an ambiguous stance? "Subsystem maintainers don't have to allow Rust in, but other subsystems can and will build their own bindings to your code" seems fairly clear-cut.
You might want to take a look at https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3713393/.

In animal models it also seems like the dopaminergic effects are strong enough to cause midbrain downregulation and lower dopamine neuron density. If you've ever taken ketamine recreationally you've likely noticed the very strong dopaminergic effects, though maybe not been able to classify them as such.
You can have a very complex networking infrastructure with very simple proxies and network segmentation. What specific feature do you have in mind. Load balancing and resource synching?

Often there are proprietary solution to proprietary problems you would otherwise not have in the first place.

I used AWS for a long time but I am back to hosting myself. What arcane network requirement would that entail? I don't think there are benefits even for government scale problems.
In general you should listen to your doctor for these things; if they say that an increase in dosage is recommended, listen to them. Although I am not very sure about the word "offer". What do you mean "offer" from your psychiatrist?

If you are worried about long term effects of stimulant medication (which is a very valid worry), you may want to ask your doctor for an intermittent schedule. Sadly, as we know, many of us need the medication to function reasonably in daily life. However, if you are building tolerance to the medication, it is probably worth it.
All of those apply to Ancient Egypt too, only more so.

I did not give a definition for fascism. You can look ones up yourself. However, critically:

1. China is not right-wing. That's prerequisite.

2. China has very little fascist-style state / political violence, and virtually no paramilitary elements. You're at no risk of being beaten up or having your windows broken for having the wrong political views. Police officers didn't even have guns until recently. There aren't Brown Shirts and Black Shirts, are groups like the fascist right-wing militias in the US. Rather, the state violence you see there is institutionalized violence, through proper administrative and bureaucratic channels.

3. China has nationalism, but is very much not ultra-nationalist.

4. China does not try to eliminate minorities if they play ball. Indeed, China is very supportive of non-Han groups (who were, e.g. exempt from One Child). Rather, what you see is forceful "modernization" and cultural assimilation, leading up to violence if there isn't compliance. If the Muslim minorities in China decided to give up their religion, culture, and desire for freedom, and started to act like Han Chinese, they'd almost certainly be left alone. You saw the same directed at Han during the Great Leap Forward. For Jews in 1930 Germany, assimilating was very much not enough to be left alone.

5. Control of the economy is limited and directed. A lot of the Chinese economy is also like the Wild West.

.... and so on.

Note that I'm not passing a value judgment on which system of government is better or worse. However, "fascist" is not the same as "totalitarian."

One of the key things in China is that if you (personally and collectively) go along with the government, for the most part, you're very safe, and life is quite peaceful. Another is that most control is "soft." The wrong post online will simply be hard to find, load slowly, or not show up for other users. Or you'll have a harder time moving up in life.

It's very little like Germany, Italy or Spain the in the 1930s, where you had armed groups walking the streets, breaking windows.
Are you displeased with Linus' leadership because he make the decision you want him to make?
Exactly this. I'm not at all complaining about the game being too easy or too hard. I'm complaining that when you create a challenge by taking a horrific AI and then just letting it cheat to the point that it poses a challenge, you create an entirely new game. And that new game is often nowhere near as fun as the game itself "really" is because it all comes down to meta-gaming the horrific AI to overcome what should be an insurmountable handicap if the AI played even remotely decently.
So if blank ballots win in a contest for a particular political office, does that mean that that office is a candidate for the chopping block ? I would hope so.
lots of compounds are neurotoxic when taken in large doses, but completely safe when taken in lower doses. This isn't really surprising
Someone who does things not because he read about them on the Internet, but because they were invented or co-invented, or owned by people he went to school with, or family connections. When "system" is not something you fight with, but it's YOU and people who are your family or treat you as a family. Elizabeth Holmes is a prime example but only because she was caught.

If not for cloudflare, the site which you’re trying so hard to visit would probably not survive due to:

1. High genuine traffic

2. High bot traffic

3. Being DDoSed to death

Everyone else other than you get to enjoy a snappy and fast loading site. I think that’s a good trade off.
I don't think changing to Rust code completely is something attainable. I guess some older or more closer to the metal parts will stay in C, but parts seeing more traffic and evolution will be more rusty after some time, and both will have its uses and have their islands inside the codebase.

gccrs will allow the whole thing to be built with GCC toolchain in a single swoop.

As i wrote the laptop now works out of the box - what i describe was 12 years ago, which is practically ancient history in terms of software. The only issue is that because Nvidia only provides closed source drivers and they decided they do not want to support the laptop's GPU anymore, there is no way to use any newer drivers from it.

But that is because of Nvidia, not because of Linux. I could even install a recent distro on my mid-2000s ATI X1950 Pro-based PC if i wanted as that has an open source driver.

I'm not sure what the link is meant to show - or really what exactly it refers to (EDIT: or if it is even relevant, the post is already 4 years old). The AMD driver is part of the Linux kernel this days, you don't need to install anything. AMD has its own alternative driver if you -e.g.- need their OpenGL implementation, but pretty much nobody uses that stuff nor is any software tested on it. Basically unless you have some very specific software needs, chances are trying to install AMD's drivers is going to have both worse performance and a ton of issues.
I'm finding this draft article pretty confusing, and am not sure why it's shared in its current state. I think it should also cite sources.

My impression was that the majority who try ketamine do it a handful of times in their whole lives, usually <200mg.
I wasn't commentating on the rationale behind the thinking or whether it is right or not, just that the idea of the internal enemy is not owned by any one political persuasion.

Though I'm sure right-wing groups believe themselves to be tolerant of one-another and their allies and others with similar aims, and that groups that oppose them are intolerant and therefore must be met with intolerance. The paradox of the paradox of tolerance is that you can't claim tolerance by excusing your intolerance with the paradox of tolerance. Or said another way, one man's tolerance is another's intolerance.
