I see these sort of things as a signal. I would personally encourage use internally, because I would like to signal towards the right sort of researchers.

But when you conflate that with some sort of expectation or "minimum effort" and try to shame people with it you signal something else, particularly to people who disagree with the value of said standard. I've had people show me my domains on "DNSSEC Hall of shame" site and my opinion of that site's existence lowers every time.
Accurate timekeeping is hard. Computers generally don't need long-term clock stability, so nobody is going to invest a lot of money into it. Why bother putting expensive timekeeping hardware in a machine to avoid clock drift when you can also just sync from ntp once a day?

If anything, I'd consider "milliseconds per day" to be extremely good. Regular crystal oscillators have an error of 20 PPM or so, which means a worst-case drift of ~2 seconds per day.
Hey, thanks Matt for providing a well lit path to getting things done on the Internet before anyone knew what they were doing.

I just submitted this link, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/15-years-after-its-brief-existe..., which talks about the line item veto. It's disheartening to think that when this happened 30 years ago under Clinton, it was a huge scandal and controversy. It's so quaint to think about that compared to the debacle with DOGE and the current administration.

And even with those headwinds, Clinton managed to balance the budget and eke out a small surplus! I give that a zero percent chance here, sadly.
He didn't say they were rigged, he just said they were not anonymous as was claimed.

Also, voting records in the US indicate whether you voted or not, but not who you voted for; that part is anonymous. Perhaps his company was similar.

Landed craft on the moon often carry reflectors that help laser location of the Moon.

Spacecraft that have spent decades the Moon's surface are also going to give valuable clues about the behavior of their materials in these conditions, if / when someone collects and inspects them. Could save quite a bit of uncertainty for a larger project on the Moon.

Also, isn't basically everything you see on the moon some kind of debris? There are no apparent structures there created by complex, interesting processes, such as life, or by interesting geological processes. The spacecraft would be an aesthetical center of the area :)

BTC is better than gold in many regards.

- impossible to counterfeit

- trivial to audit

- easy to transfer

- easier to store

- its supply is actually limited (unlike gold, which is near-infinite in the universe). Most of it has been mined. Its supply will actually diminish over time, as keys get lost forever, though it's hard to tell how fast that process is.
Don't you think it helps seeing opposing perspective, especially if it might likely be the majority opinion rather than just be an echo chamber of all the other comments agreeing with each other on how it's unfair and inefficient how unaffordable housing has become?
One could start by not violating every labor, environmental, and financial law all at once. Does it make more sense that every business in the US has the constant attention of every federal agency? Or that Elon has done some particular things - for instance, things he's constantly bragging about on his own social media sites - that would tend to arouse suspicion, if not serve as direct evidence, that he's in violation of obvious regulations?
You create an RF shadow, not a black hole.
It's hard to take that seriously as a vision of the future. As an expression of values and aesthetics completely untethered from reality, sure. It makes a great yogurt commercial.

But realistically, as something to strive for? So much of the technology in it is essentially magic, but there's just enough physical labor to romanticize. It's pretty obvious the physical labor is optional and voluntary. In other words, it's a group of people hanging out in an automated agricultural facility that has been designed to allow them to LARP as old-time farmers.

I mean, either that or the technology just happened, coincidentally, to need exactly an enjoyable and healthy amount of labor to keep it going, and the labor just happened to take the outward form of a romanticized relationship to the land and nature.

But that's too much of a coincidence to take seriously, and the alternative is that the human labor isn't necessary to produce the food, and the humans' place in the process was designed to be enjoyable for them and also not to be compulsory. If the people aren't needed there, presumably they aren't confined to the premises and forced to act out an unnecessary and antiquated form of labor. They come and go, and when nobody is there, the automation takes over. So it's basically farming as glamping. (Glarming?) The people in this vision could drop everything tomorrow and go to a spa, without any consequences for whoever depends on the output of this farm.
Many years ago now I sat in on (I was a PhD student, so I didn't need to sit exams etc) a Cognitive Science intro course run by Prof. Stevan Harnad.

Harnad and I don't agree about very much, but one thing I was able to get Steven to agree was that if I introduce him to something which he thinks is a person well, that's a person, and too bad if it doesn't meet somebody's arbitrary requirements about having DNA or biological processes.

The generative AIs can't quite do that, but they're much closer than I'd be comfortable with if, like Steven and Penrose, I didn't believe that Computation is all there is. "But doesn't it feel like something to be you?" they ask me, and I wonder why on Earth anybody could ask that question and not consider that perhaps it also feels like something to be a spoon or a leaf.

An anecdote: I was working for a medical centre, and had some code that was supposed to find the 'main' clinic of a patient.

The specification was to only look at clinical appointments, and find the most recent appointment. However if the patient didn't have a clinical appointment, it was supposed to find the most recent appointment of any sort.

I wrote the code by sorting the data (first by clinical-non-clinical and then by date). I asked chatgpt to document it. It misunderstood the code and got the sorting backwards.

I was pretty surprised, and after testing with foo-bar examples eventually realised that I had called the clinical-non-clinical column "Clinical", which confused the LLM.

This is the kind of mistake that is a lot worse than "code doesn't run" - being seemingly right but wrong is much worse than being obviously wrong.

I still use a steel toolbox I made at school. Did the lot: cutting, folding, welding, painting and got an A+ which is fair because it's now almost 40 years old.

My kids didn't get to do any of that which is a shame. There are obvious downsides like having the tools to make throwing stars from the metal off-cuts.
If you start teaching all the kids this, then the vast majority of parents will stop teaching their kids, because "school will teach you". This is fundamental human nature. So society ends up in a degraded state where instead of most kids learning these things well from parents and few not at all, you have all kids learning it a lower average rate.

This is not the way. If some kids have lacking home life, intervene directly for those students. Don't take away responsibility from parents.

I'm currently in the Caribbean with our sailboat. We spent almost a month on Martinique (St. Anne, Anse Mitan, St. Pierre), and were wondering a bit about the low amount of renewables being used.

Theory was that both wind and solar are too risky due to the frequent hurricanes. But maybe there's more local nuance? Too cheap diesel?
Thanks for the work you've done with ShadeMap - I used this extensively when I we were looking for somewhere to rent, as living in hilly city some areas lose the sun quite quickly. Happy to say we are now living in a place that gets plenty of sun, and this summer has yielded a lot of tomatoes in a city where that can be difficult.
I quite enjoyed both series. They are not similar (as you implicitly suggest).

Wayfarer bugged me at first because each book is a massive departure from the next (somewhat like Ender 1 and 2). As much as it pained me to leave the characters of the first book, the following books were more meaningful and stayed with me much longer.

I also wish Chambers wrote more. Amazing author.

According to a GSA forensic audit, 18F was losing money, had billing issues, and spent too much time on non-billable activities (52% versus 48% billable).

https://www.gsaig.gov/sites/default/files/ipa-reports/OIG%20...

The GSA conclusion was...

1. Establish a viable plan to ensure full cost recovery of ASF funds expended by 18F.
2. Ensure that internal 18F projects have appropriate supervisory review.
3. Implement controls over 18F’s reimbursable agreement process to ensure that work is not performed outside of a fully executed agreement.
4. Ensure that GSA CIO reviews and approves, in writing, all 18F IT-related work performed for GSA internal organizations.
5. Implement a comprehensive review of 18F’s past work to ensure accuracy of all billings.
6. Establish reliable internal controls to ensure that 18F’s future billings are accurate.
7. Ensure that 18F’s billing records are retained in accordance with GSA records management standards.

In middle school we could take Industrial Arts, Home Economics, and Art. Seventh graders took all three, so they were each 2/3 of a semester, with one of them broken across the semester break.

In eighth grade we got to select two of the three, and they were each one semester. I took Industrial Arts and Home Economics because the Art teacher was a complete wacko who in the seventh grade class destroyed any interest I had in the subject.

I am pretty sure seventh grade Industrial Arts was co-ed and everyone took it. But maybe girls had another option, I don't quite remember. In eighth grade since it was an elective, it self-selected to almost entirely boys.
Sign me up. Solar has come such a long way, and wind gen is so much quieter now. If you happen to have a creek or river running through your property you can even make a hydroelectric generator. With LiFePo batteries being what they are, you could setup a complete off-grid home on 14kw. I’m all for it. Someday, someday. I’m still stuck in the rat race but I would be a solarpunk, totally.
Thank you for seeing through my sloppy writing, and identifying what I was getting at. I should have have said "aside from human intervention."

So, aside from the human intervention, and assuming that the materials can generally withstand radiation... let's say it's 6 sq meters, [0] I know this is not exactly how it works, but if LLMs[1] and my own lacking skills at mathematics are accurate, then ~70 million years? That sounds so much more "permanent" than anything on Earth.

Worst part is that the patterns of implementation won't be consistent across the pieces. So debug a whole codebase that was authored with LLM generated code is like having to debug a codebase where ever function was written by a different developer and no one followed any standards. I guess you can specify the coding standards in the prompt and ask it to use FP-style programming only, but I'm not sure how well it can follow.
I still have the dream to build a game that has this aesthetic / idealistic worldview, but haven’t figured out the game play and mechanics.

The spoiler effect means you don’t need collusion to explain the results. Both parties are enormously incentivised to stamp out and subsume ideologically-near competitors. If they don’t, the other party wins.
Good point, I was looking up LA and Chicago (NY has many small districts), and oddly both Superintendents have just been fired. Chicago was indeed a "CEO Type", and LA was the teacher principal type.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. I see lots of people who are acting in their self interest by wanting to remain remote.

Maybe. Companies have been eating their seed corn with offshoring for quite a while now. M&A and cornering the market is a good antidote for such things. People still use Google and Windows and those products are horrible now.

For people who are being forced to RTO, put in your notice if you can, or at least look for another job. It's going to be a tight market for a few quarters at least.

The sram density is a pretty good equivalent. You can arguably do the average of sram and some logic.

If you take the square root of that...you pretty much end up with (modulo a linear scale) the existing nodes.

That gets you size. You then need power and speed, which are a bit trickier to compare without a standard/reference device.

It's fascinating how the pictures have that "Apollo moon landing" look. I'd always assumed that a huge part of this was just 1960s technology (film not digital etc), but apparently it's actually coming from the literally unearthly lighting conditions of being on the Moon.

It doesn't take responsibility from parents. If parents stop teaching their kids they making the choice.

The reality is, in places this matters, parents already are failing to teach their kids, and where there are successful families, parents continue to teach their kids.

>That's why replication is the gold standard in science. Will other scientists come to the same results when they perform a published experiment in their own lab?

I feel like it's worth a reminder to those reading this that replication isn't just about preventing fraud. I've personally seen far fewer examples of fraud than I have cases where difficulty reproducing results led to the discovery of considerations affecting the experiment that happened to present in the original experiment, but that the original researchers might not have thought of, or thought significant.
do adults not get bored or overwhelmed?
I absolutely _hate_ this. Since you're forced to add a default case, if a new field is added in the future that you need to actively handle it won't turn into a compile error _or_ surface as a runtime error.

I think half of it is developers presuming to know users' needs and making decisions for them (users can make that decision by themselves, using the default case!) but also a logic-defying fear of build breakage, to the point that I've seen developers turn other compile errors into runtime errors in order to avoid "breaking changes".

It's easy to implement, because sales tax already exists in every state but 5 right? So it's already all built-in to the Point-of-Sales software, banking, finance, etc.

Insofar as simply "choosing to spend elsewhere (outside USA)", somehow sales-tax is something people find difficult to avoid already right? We're just talking about increasing existing sales tax amount, and then eliminating all Federal tax.

Monopolies don't need to be eternal to be a monopoly. They will fail when they make a mistake or become obsolete. What they won't do is lose to a competitor on their own terms.

For instance, IBM is a recognized mainframe monopoly. They are not valuable today not because they lost the mainframe dominance, but because mainframes are obsolete (or almost).
No reasonable EE would mistake this for anything but an electrolytic cap.

This is a very old package design from the transition between through hole and SMD. The process for making the vertical axial style common now hadn't been perfected and it was briefly cheaper to cast regular axial caps into an epoxy block.

No other component looks like this, it's a very distinct package and footprint from any other type of cap. No one tried to disguise anything, they really just thought this was the cheapest way to make a surface mount electrolytic cap.
