Yeah, I think current tech assumes a server relay. However imo, and if I were to imagine a solution, in this case I think a message would need a ttl, say 24 hours. In a local mesh/hive everyone would store a copy of the undelivered messages. When people move between hives they would sync these undelivered messages where ttl didn't expire. With perhaps a storage limit of say 1k undelivered messages. Undelivered means a destination user that didn't show in a hive. Wdyt?
I'm also a little skeptical with this approach, as it's not taking into account the curvature of light through the atmosphere. In reality, when the photo was taken, the sun was already fully below the horizon. It just looks like it isn't because the atmosphere is bending the light a little ways around the earth. (As a rule of thumb, the amount of bending is coincidentally nearly equal to the apparent size of the sun's disc, so as soon as the bottom edge appears to touch the horizon, that's the moment it has actually fully dropped below the horizon, and would be totally obscured if the light were travelling in the straight line paths assumed by this article.)

I suggest you look at a map of the US in 1776 and compare it to today

it's quite significantly larger

now, imagine if today that 80% wasn't part of the US, and was instead controlled by the indigenous population (likely tens of sovereign states)

would there have been large scale wars in the 19th and 20th century? it's quite obvious the answer would have been "yes"

Hello HN! Thank you for upvoting this post to the front page. I'm quite delighted to see this post about a relatively obscure lemma from Galois theory make it to the front page.

This post is primarily intended as notes on the subject. The theorems and proofs involved in Galois theory can often feel too abstract, so I find it helpful to work through them with concrete examples. This is one such example that I wanted to archive for future reference on my website. If you spot any errors, please let me know.

The article is a week old, it was already submitted a few days ago, and the problem remains about finding some paper to shed more light into the practice.

A blog article* came out yesterday - but it is not immediately clear whether the author wrote what he understood, or whether he knows more.

But much perplexity remains: «summarization, which is what LLMs generally excel at» (original article); «The LLM ... reads the patient’s records ... and produces a summary or list of facts» (blog). This is possibly the beginning, and some of us will already be scared - as the summarization capabilities we experienced from LLMs were neither intelligent nor reliable. (...Or did new studies come up and determine that LLMs have become finally reliable, if not cognitively proficient, in summarization?)

Nice! I was going to ask about if the nearest neighbour algorithm gives less distance if a model has the same pose and then I realised that similar products (like a t-shirt) are shown with the same pose, so it shouldn't be an issue.

As long as it’s dense enough that light can’t escape, it’s a black hole. You can achieve that with extreme density or huge volumes of mass. The more massive an object, the less dense it needs to be to be a black hole.
The nice thing is that the DSL can be informal as you said - it does not need to be rigorously specified, nor does it need to be rigorously followed by the user. I’ve had good success prompting LLMs with pseudo-C and switching right in the middle to just English, and it just goes along with it. You can sort of invent the DSL as you go along at whatever level of control you need.
Better than the default, but not a nice one - the basics of tab navigation (previous/next) are missing, and you can't assign multiple shortcuts to a command.

Indeed. The idea that the US government can go bankrupt is ludicrous on its face (and illegal; see Fourteenth Amendment, Section 4). I can go bankrupt, Musk can go bankrupt, but the US government simply cannot. It is a sovereign issuer of its own currency. Anyone who makes this claim should not be trusted, as either a liar with an agenda or an ignorant, and ideally should not be allowed anywhere near fiscal policy. So yes, this is about lying to allow the oligarchs to hijack the people's government from them. The ultimate regulatory capture, if you will.
"Mayo’s LLM split the summaries it generated into individual facts, then matched those back to source documents. A second LLM then scored how well the facts aligned with those sources, specifically if there was a causal relationship between the two."

Google does not want to get rid of Chrome because it is by far the best source of “signal” that they use for training their systems. For example Chrome browsing stream data is the largest signal used in ranking search results.

Google deprecated PageRank in large part because interlinking was a proxy for user interest, and now with Chrome they can measure user interest directly in real time.
Germany is not unique either. Both France and Belgium are struggling with their inventory of nuclear power plants: many are operating near or past their designed lifespans, so maintenance is getting more expensive but they can't be decommissioned because there are no replacement plants (and due to electric transportation, demand is only going up). Germany definitely made the wrong choice, but at least they were aware enough to make an explicit choice. Other European countries have basically been burying their head in the sand on the same issue.

As of today, France is looking to start construction on six new plants but that still means the plants likely won't be in operation until 2040. And Belgium hasn't even started the planning phase. That's 15 more years of operating nuclear power plants designed in the mid 1900s.

Let me take this opportunity to post one of the best texts on Galois Theory I have read -- and I had to go through quite a few while preparing for a class.

https://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/Galois.pdf

The subject is developed very naturally and every idea is beautifully motivated. It begins with a quick one chapter intro of Arnold's proof of Abel-Ruffini.

Richard Koch's home page (https://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/) has other examples of his fantastic pedagogy.
It's optimal because you get left the hell alone. Governments do not know what they citizens do if they are neither living in the country nor having their money in the country. Governments do not know what their residents do, if they are neither citizens nor have their money in the country. Governments do not care what foreigners do with their money in their country if they are neither citizens nor residents.

Why would infrastructure get torn down once it’s in place?
Think you're somewhat off. Quaise says they intend to allow their tech to be "plugged into existing oil rigs," and most boreholes are 5-20 in wide.

20 in down 7.6 mi is 0.2 m^2 down 12321 m. This gives 2500 m^3 or 2.5e-6 km^3 of rock.

Google says "rocks are generally between 1600 kg/m^3 (sediments) and 3500 kg/m^3 (gabbro)" so going with 2500 km/m^3 that would be 6240000 kg, 6.24 Gg, or 6.24 thousand metric tons.

Heat of vaporization of water is roughly 2250 kJ/kg, or 537 kcal/kg, so if the mass was water it would need 14e9 kJ, 14 TJ, or 3.35e9 kcal to vaporize.

For a 5 in borehole divide all the above by 16. This ignores the heat required to actually change the temperature of the water, but I'm betting you can get a lot of that back via condensation, and for this reason I'd also assume that much of the rock will not end up in atmosphere. These assumptions also go entirely out the window of there's an inflow of material, but unfortunately I'm betting that's exactly what will happen.

Edit: Fixed post after I confused radius and diameter. Someone should probably check my math as well.

I look at my table and I see 4 laptops, all comparable specs, for 2 humans. How wasteful this is. Corpo jobs make it clear—their hardware, their content. Ive always taken that to heart. A friend of mine installed steam on his work machine, personal projects, the works. Seems possibly dicey.

I love this kind of “reaction decision” process. I have a hard time styling things until I see them and importantly when I see examples of what I don’t like.

Taking Tech to Task: Maybe it's time to send the bots off the nearest cliff
Why should they be given independence? They're formerly Jordanian citizens and formerly Ottoman subjects. It's not as though some country or civil polity has been eliminated and needs to be restored. There never was any. They were offered a country by the Peel Report in 1937 and then the UN Resolution 181 in 1947, but they rejected it. They were offered a country by Barak in 2000 and Olmert in 2008, but they rejected it. They were given de facto control over Gaza, but they used the opportunity to launch rockets at Israel for 15 years and then to commit Oct 7th.

Germans expelled from parts of Europe was good! It was the natural consequence of Germany trying to take over all of Europe and failing. Germany has now lived in peace with its neighbours for 80 years. The people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have not demonstrated they can live in peace with Israel.

It's true, there is no absolute direction for which way a wheel spins. It's relative to the observer.

If you are standing on the side of a road, and a bicycle goes by, then you may observe the wheels to rotate clockwise, while an observer on the other side of the road will observe the same wheels to rotate counter-clockwise.

The sun is said to rotate around the centre of the milky way galaxy once every 225 million years. Over that time frame, some of the galaxies we observe will flip between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation as our viewpoint changes.

But that isn't relevant here. The Space article is too vague and handwavy to make any conclusions about the research, and should be ignored. Only the original scientific paper is worth reading: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/538/1/76/8019798?logi...

Section 5.2 "Physics of Galaxy Rotation" seems particularly relevant.

> due to the Doppler shift effect galaxies that rotate in the opposite direction relative to the Milky Way are expected to be slightly brighter than galaxies that rotate in the same direction relative to the Milky Way. Therefore, more galaxies that rotate in the opposite direction relative to the Milky Way are expected to be observed from Earth, and the difference should peak at around the Galactic pole. That observation is conceptually aligned with the empirical data of Fig. 10, and the observation using JADES described in Section 3.

You should read the paper for the full argument.

"They hypothesized that early (first 10000 days) exposure to micro-organisms might play a key role in training the immune system not to over-react to (harmless) micro-organisms later on in life, and thus "train" the immune system better. Their hypothesis now seems to have been validated."

10000 days is 27 years, which seems an order of magnitude too large. 2.7 years(~ one thousand days) would be about right, perhaps?
If my library is left-padding a string with spaces, I don’t know how that could possibly introduce a major security vulnerability at all.

People write the trusted, secure code, and people retire from that work, and new people need to come in and do the work. Inexperienced people are going to be writing code no matter what.

So, you are either saying that no one should write new libraries because a major security vulnerability could be introduced by their hands, or you are saying that all libraries should be written by hands which will not introduce a major security vulnerability, and neither of those is at all feasible.
