> In this paper we are considering the behaviour of ∆(HΛ(L)) in the thermodynamic limit, that is, when L → ∞

So it's the same as the regular mathematical limit. There must be some thermodynamic implications but my knowledge of physics is not enough to say.
I don't think is the church, here in Romania I remember only the old people would go to church, and not all of them, if some old man or woman from your family was there it was enough.

What was happening is that we had no other way to communicate and socialize so people would just randomly go and visit each other unannounced or go to a bar/tavern and meet there. I think today we feel that it is not OK to bother a friend or relative , maybe if there is some celebration, back then it was OK (sure you had to read the situation or the host could tell you to come another time if they are busy).

Anyway, in my village it was not the church, my grandfather would not go to church even if he believes in God (he considers church as a man made thing), one of his nephews would stop often (maybe 2 times a week) when passing by and bring a newspaper, my grndfather would bring out some alcohol and they would talk politics and curse on politicians.

I do not have the perspective of the city experience though, what woud they do before social media or cable TV.
What do you mean about prescribing and insisting? I’m not sure I understand your questions about family sharing and the mental model.

I use family sharing with actual family for my Steam account and all video streaming services. Am I weird? The reason is because streaming services allow sharing under a single paid account, and my wife & kids don’t want to pay for separate accounts, and don’t want to have to authenticate separately on shared devices (TVs, game consoles, iPads, etc). Steam family sharing works across different Steam accounts, and sharing a single account doesn’t work, so Steam isn’t particularly relevant to the discussion of family sharing of passwords. Steaming accounts, on the other hand, all assume they’re being used by a whole family, and the main reason is because of shared devices; the family TV itself logged in. So, they all offer profiles under a single account. Netflix clarifies that family sharing means the people in a single household, maybe others are similar.

We use password family sharing as well. My wife and I share bank and credit card accounts. My wife needs my accounts sometimes to do certain things — you might be surprised how many banks do not offer joint accounts and still treat wives as second class citizens. We share the Netflix & Amazon accounts with the kids so they can use them. I pay for a 1Password family account and share it with my aging father who’s been losing passwords. These things are all pretty useful for me.

I guess you’re making me wonder why someone wouldn’t make a family sharing feature, when it solves real problems and users are asking for it?
Knowing that you have to do that as a separate step adds a whole additional level of complexity too.

For example, if some content has the images and some don't, you need to add whole additional steps to your processing and potentially add hallucinations in.

Here's what Nobel prize-winning (when it still meant something) economist Hayek had to say:

“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” – F.A. Hayek 1984

> The Auditors of Reality are particularly interesting. They are the Discworld edition of what I’ve called the Great Bureaucrat archetype elsewhere. Their ideology is something like the Wokism of Discworld, a deadening, stifling, faceless force of intersectional lifelessness.

Man this dude sure has a definition of “woke” that is completely alien to the roots of that term.

> I read one Pratchett novel (Thief of Time I think) in college, but I’m glad I didn’t properly get into it till my mid-forties. These are books you cannot really appreciate if you’re too young. I read through the lot around 2017-19, during the first Trump admin, when I was in my early forties.

what

Dude they are comic fantasy, yes Pratchett has Things to Say about the world in them, more and more as the series goes on, but I picked up Equal Rites soon after it came out when I was eighteen and the series was a constant delight through my college years and beyond. Yes there are things in
Discworld that will zoom right by a kid and only land when you come back to it as an adult. That’s part of why they’re good books. There’s things like that in Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain Cycle (Book of Three, Black Cauldron, etc) that hit me like a ton of bricks when I pick up those little books forty years after I first read them as a kid and completely missed those parts. Stories can speak to multiple ages on multiple levels.
It's okay. Yes, it is just an idea, specifically of making it public. I think the government should pay for it. What do you think?

I bet current US government's economic policies will be even more effective at reducing food waste. Food waste will be radically reduced when the prices skyrocket, and the masses can barely afford their groceries, let alone eating out. Tariffs combined with deportations of agricultural labor will likely lead to that outcome.
I've never used it, but it seems mostly like a planning and productivity tool rather than note taking tool.

I'm not advocating for C or against Rust though. I'm saying that GP's request to report errors instead of crashing is a perfectly fine opinion, and using Rust as an example of a language which already traps most instances of C UB, there aren't any fundamental reasons why Rust (or a fork or a similar language) couldn't use a different mechanism to signal failure states. Your request for code is irrelevant to my point.

Mars has vast mineral resources. That's the reason the surface of Mars is red, iron oxide - rust! So the point of a colony is to enable infrastructure to, over time, develop on Mars. For instance another big winner is the Sabatier reaction. CO2 + H2 => methane + water. Starship fuel is, uncoincidentally, methane.

Getting people on Mars will be inspiring and humanity's greatest achievement to date. That it also serves as a 'backup' for humanity, is something that provides a motivation get it done ASAP in times like those that we live in, but is in many ways also largely incidental.

This is mentioned, I liked the idea but it might be overkill to take simple notes. On the other hand interactivity while structuring the notes might be beneficial time to time. Like dragging them and observe them etc.

I love the direction and attempt. What I think is needed to encourage good behavior is a system that scans company job postings, archives them (Internet Archive), performs analytics as to whether these jobs are being filled (compare to LinkedIn data as best as you can, there will always be leakage), and potentially report non compliance around salary transparency to whomever in each state regulates that. LinkedIn doesn’t care, state regulators aren’t going to do this.

Think in systems. If the desired outcome is more honest and transparent behavior from job posters, the way to get there is public data and analytics to suss out signal of undercurrent intent internally. It’s an observability platform at its core.

Consider partnering with the hiring.cafe folks (search HN for relevant threads) if you want to achieve scale wrt feedback capture from applicants to drive analytics.
There is a mythbusters episode about exactly this that is definitely worth the watch.
I guess it strikes me as weird that we can't just say "Well, yes, 'both sides' thought they were right but in fact one (the Nazis) was wrong."

To be sure, there are situations where there is some genuinely complicated moral situation. But that doesn't mean we have to pretend to be moral morons and sagely nod our heads and say "Yes, but Nazis thought they were right too, hmm, hmm."
Of course - there is no requirement to retreat. Which makes sense.

If I’m in my home, or car, or whatever - and someone tries to do a home invasion, or carjack me, it’s utter lunacy to expect someone to be all ‘oh no’, and have to give it up unless they want to do so.

Sutro Tower's height is boosted by the fact that it sits on Mt. Sutro. It reaches 1,811 feet above sea level, just higher than the tallest building in the US (One World Trade Center in NYC, at 1776 feet).

Not sure that I agree. There's plenty of very, very annoying people completely derailing threads on every board by spamming shitposts and the like on 4chan. I'd say the anonymous nature is actually an incentive since there's no real consequences.
That is how "woke" is used now. Any resemblance to the original use is completely lost. It is merely "things I don't like".

It’s interesting to me how often papers do this, where even after reading the abstract, it’s hard to tell in what context they’re using key words, and by extension, what the paper is actually about.

My loosely held feeling is that this is also a pretty strong indicator of what you’re going to be in for in trying to digest the rest of the paper.

To be honest it’s quite refreshing if your company is full-on Microsoft anyway. It has some limitations and drawbacks you will miss compared to a modern container environment.

This lie started with Lavrov on Tucker Carlson, where he said the the US is important but Europe cannot be forgiven.

Since the Trump win this talking point is mainstream on all Russian aligned outlets, who previously blamed the US (Nuland, Biden, Obama) for the war.

It is hard to tell what the game is:

1) (Most cynical) Trump and Russia want to divide up the world. Russia gets Ukraine and will not object to the US getting Greenland.

2) (Pragmatic) Both Russia and the US are low on weapons and would actually like a ceasefire. They blame Europe for preventing the deal.

3) (Neocon, continuity of agenda) Trump insults the EU in order to make them increase their military budget, so they can take over the Ukraine war by themselves and never talk to Russia again. The Russian media still hasn't caught on (or just uses the EU as the current convenient enemy for domestic consumption).

Some game is being played here, perhaps it's "the great game".

Maybe but it doesn't affect the ad-blocking abilities of Firefox and uBlock Origin. It is a legal document, not a technical document.

If you want to go with ethics and trust, I am not particular fond of Brave practice of replacing ads for some shady cryptocurrency (BAT). You don't have to do that, you can just use it as an adblocking browser, but if you don't care about these things, the news of Firefox updating some privacy policy shouldn't affect you too much either.

Anyways, both Firefox and Brave/Chromium are open source, you can see what data is being sent out, and there are forks.

And to make things clear, I am not really a fan of Mozilla direction, I just switched because Firefox became better and Chrome worse in the last years.

Lisolve: Exploiting the Lichess Puzzle System
When you open Lichess to solve a puzzle:

- The server sends all puzzle information, including the solution, to the client

- The client is responsible for validating your moves

- The client is also responsible for telling the server whether you have solved the puzzle or not.

However, the client does the 3rd step by just sending a request with some formdata, which has a key called "win". Basically, the client does not send your sequence of moves to the server to have the server verify them but directly sends whether you solved the puzzle or not.

Many, including me, have discovered this bug independently and tried to report it to Lichess. I've tried contacting Lichess 2-3 years back when I originally discovered this, but Lichess has always responded with "puzzles aren't competitive; exploiting them doesn't matter." (https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/issues/16393#issuecommen...)

Admittedly, they are correct: puzzle rating doesn't really matter. So, here's a little web app I made to exploit this. You just need to copy and paste your LILA2 cookie from Lichess. Requests are made through a proxy to set the Origin header.

I am so glad that I'm not the only one thinking package managers are complete nonsense. Even on macOS I have always found Homebrew or MacPorts to be rather dumb (at least the latter is saner in some ways).

China Mieville’s “Perdido Street Station” is also worth reading. It’s set in, essentially, a _bad_ Ankh Morpork; like Ankh Morpork it’s a vast chaotic fantasy city (both are probably based on London) but New Crobuzon is _nightmarish_.

(I’ve always been curious to what if any extent one influenced the other; Discworld is older, but Ankh Morpork gets fleshed out a lot later. Given how small a world UK sci-fi/fantasy is they’d almost certainly have been aware of each others’ work.)

This approach is a classic footgun for beginners in the context of "hook rules". In general it's quite fragile.
And you can use keyfiles that you sneakernet between devices at setup time, so those are never exposed to the syncthing shared folder. I don't think this adds much security since presumably if someone can compromise your syncthing secrets, they could probably grab your keyfile too, but in the event of a syncthing vuln that doesn't lead to other filesystem access, it might help.
