> I’ve always wondered, has there ever been a definitive experiment where one photon hits a slit and on the other side two photons come out, but then when you add a photon observer, it immediately only comes out on one side? Or has the proof always been mathematical rather than a live experiment?

Only one photon comes out, but it can interfere with itself if it had the possibility of going through either slit.

That nuance aside, the Quantum Eraser Experiment is a real physical experiment that covers what I think you're asking about. If you send photons through double slits in a setup where you can tell which slit the photon went through, you don't get an interference pattern. If you can't tell, you do get the interference pattern.
All of that is russian propaganda. Falling for obvious propagnada about NATO danger to Russia is an incredibly naive take

Russia did not invade a NATO country, they invaded Ukraine when it wasn't seeking to join NATO (in 2014 before the invasion, after the invasion they wanted to join NATO but there were too many objecting countries in NATO and it was obvious to everyone that Ukraine wasn't getting in anytime soon and this was just as true in early 2022).

> US could always make up some cooked up justification for the attack, like it has done so many times in the past

Russia has a history with making up justifications to invade and they did in this case.

> So if US is putting missiles near Russian border, even if that is on behalf of NATO, I think Putin is bound to do something about it..

They were not putting missles in the border. In fact until recently nato had minimal forces and no bases next to Russia to try to mollify them. Especially not in Ukraine which again was not in NATO and was not getting any closer to NATO. Russia was not bound to invade Ukraine and it was in fact a pretty dumb move which had obvius consequences of making Russias security much worse and even many Putin's advisors had a hard time believing he would do it.
I like your confidence in the competitors. Which ones do you recommend?

I need a timer, integration with smart home (turn things on and off), play songs and radio, I need to announce to my other devices. And the set up should not be a month long side project.

I've done a similar tool a few years ago, with "contenteditable". It's great. Especially for non-tech people who want to quickly edit articles on a website. (that was an experiment).

The problem I had: when people copy/paste HTML from external sources, after a few edits, a few months later, you see that the HTML is just a horrible mix of various mixed up tags, the structure is lost, you have

<div><div><div><div><p><div>

everywhere and it's impossible to clean it in WYSIWYG.

OP, did you find a satisfying solution to this problem? A good compromise for sanitizing of copy/paste content? TL;DR: not remove the images, but clean the

<table class="cf gJ" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr class="acZ"><td class="gF gK"><table class="cf ix" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td class="c2"><h3 class="iw gFxsud"><span class="qu" role="gridcell" tabindex="-1">

stuff when copy/pasting?

Sometimes I feel like the economy never recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. I got gut punched into the adulthood by the financial crisis and at that time there was a lot of talk about the japanese lost decade. My first thought back then was "so this is going to be our lost decade huh". I'm good now but I can't say I had a lot of fun in my 20s.

The answers at your link explain pretty well what kind of APIs these were and they provide sources, e.g. the several books that have been published under titles like "Undocumented Windows ...". There were no magic APIs, just ordinary functions that covered various features not yet implemented in the publicly available Win32 API.

Keep in mind also that the Windows kernel system calls were never accessible directly, like in Linux or the like, but as an external developer you were at the mercy of the user libraries provided by Microsoft. If the documented user libraries did not cover all the features actually implemented by the operating system, there was no way to use them without reverse engineering.

This is now pretty much ancient history and later such APIs have been documented by Microsoft, e.g. in the "Windows Protocols Specifications", mostly as a consequence of lawsuits and investigations by the European Union and FTC.

However when that happened, around 2000, the damage had already been done and the competition had been eliminated.

The dominance of Microsoft in office suites that has been achieved during the transition from MS-DOS to Windows 95, than Windows 98, has succeeded in good part because of the great increase in the number of computer users during this time.

For newbies, the MS Office suite took very well advantage of the new features enabled by a GUI and MS Office was very easy to use, while the Windows versions of the older MS-DOS programs, like Lotus 1-2-3 and WordPerfect were much less polished than MS Office, while simultaneously losing their previous keyboard-based user interface, which for experienced users had been much faster at accomplishing any task than any Microsoft GUI.

So the MS Office GUI alternatives were neither easier to use nor faster, therefore not even their former users had any reason to stick with them, while all the newbies were naturally attracted to MS Office.

Moreover, starting with Windows 95, Microsoft has convinced somehow all the hardware peripheral add-on-cards to stop documenting their products, but instead of that deliver them together with only Windows device drivers.

Since that time, the non-Microsoft operating systems had to rely mostly on reverse-engineering for being able to run on modern hardware. Many years later, the situation has improved somewhat, but only for certain classes of peripherals, like network interface cards, where the vendors typically also provide Linux drivers now.

This has hit also the old MS-DOS programs like Lotus 1-2-3, which had tons of drivers for various kinds of now obsolete Super-VGA video cards, so on new computers with Windows 95 or later they had to run in some less performant video mode that was supported directly or through emulation on modern graphic cards, unlike the Windows programs that could take full advantage of the hardware. This has contributed to the obsolescence of the better MS-DOS programs, because even if Windows 95 could run them in Virtual 8086 mode they did not work as well as on the older computers for which the MS-DOS programs had drivers that took advantage of enhanced features.
I worked with some folks like that. They emphasized always do same day sale, don't sit on the stock after exercising. They had massive tax bills, because they exercised when the stock was flying high, but didn't have enough cash to pay for it. The stock itself had cratered so they couldn't raise money that way.
Hi, thanks for the project and contributing a nice European alternative to Outline.
I had a few questions relating to Docs as it seems a nice alternative I want to integrate in our company.

- Is it a project funded directly by the Governments or by the NGI funds?

- Is there an extensibility via plugins or other in the future thought for integrations ?

- Is the ProConnect the only way or can one use a self-hosted OIDC or another IdP to login?

Do people really enjoy talking to their home devices? I've always felt really awkward telling my phone to do something, especially in public, like I don't feel like everyone else needs to hear about what I want things to do, so I just prefer to type something. I know there are some people for whom its an accessibility thing, where they have difficulty typing or reading, but I've never really seen the point for average joe/josephine
Sound likes a very interesting project, would you like to elaborate more on the project?
What are these "out of the box devices"? I looked into things a couple of years ago, and back then it was all too much effort to set things up and keep things running and integrated, so I just went with Smart Life stuff from AliExpress. But would love to have Home Assistant if it means I don't need to spend weekends just reading docs, pairing, setting things up, connecting stuff...

It doesn't change the fact C is equally a design by committee language with all the negativity it entails.

In fact, WG14 very clearly has acted against Dennis when he submitted papers that could have improved C's safer.

Maybe his fat pointers proposal was not good enough, but apparently is wasn't something worth improving upon either.

C authors indeed moved on, first with Alef (which granted had a few design issues), Limbo and finally Go, as C as being driven by WG14 was no longer their thing, C on Plan 9 isn't even C89 compliant.

So far I haven't encountered a single actual virus, and if you're referring to the recent Material Theme debacle, there was never any malicious code involved, only third party libraries with obfuscation.
It appears to be the first real-world, large-scale implementation of a mixnet, offering both IP obfuscation and metadata protection.

Krita is very functional as a digial painting program. But I think the dev team took the "painting" part of digital painting too literal. They clearly spent a lot of time developing niche brush features (the only painting app has more detailed brush settings I know is Corel Painter), which is nice, but some other areas are neglected.

In comparison to Photosho, it's quite painful to add any text in Krita. The layer styles and filters are much less performant. But if you only do painting, Krita is totally fine.

No. Group movement of particles is one medium in which waves can occur, but the concept is more fundamental and general. The waves described in the article are not in particles.

Hello there,

I'm the coauthor of this project (UI part). I've joined this project when it was below 100 stars (a week ago), motivated by the 'local' sentiment. I think all of those 'open' alternatives are just wrappers around PAID 'Open'AI APIs, which just undermines the 'Open' term. My vision for this repo is a system independent of LLM providers (and middlemen) and overpriced web-search services (5$ per 1000 search requests at Google is just insane). Initially, I just wanted to experiment a bit and didn't expect the repo to explode, so feel free to critique the UI code I hacked together over a few evenings.

The ultimate goal:

A corporation-free LLM usage (local graph database integration sounds good).

A corporation-free web search (this is a massive challenge — even SearXNG relies on Google/Bing under the hood)

So, if you feel the same join the project, and lets build something great!
100% agree that there will be more ccTLD operators that will implement RDAP. The sooner we're on a consistent protocol the better!

I'd love to de-amazon (neuter) my Alexa's, and somehow flash custom firmware on it. We have some devices around the house, and switching to the linked Home Assistant Voice would be a significant expense now.
> And as for saying that the wave moves through both slits, that also doesn't make sense, by the very definition of the wave function - it's a wave in probability space, not in space, so it just doesn't move through space.

I don't think that's a valid argument. Imagine a regular water wave, i.e. a wavefunction h = h(x, y, t) describing the height of the water at position (x, y) at time t. You could say "this is a wave in height space, not in space, so it just doesn't move through space" and in a certain sense that's true. But obviously there is something that does "move" through "space" to the extent that anything can ever be said to do so.

There’s a service called p4vfs [0] which does this for p4. The problem we had with this at the time was that unfortunately our build tool scanned everything (which was slow in and of itself) but that caused p4vfs to pull the file anyway. So it didn’t actually help.

Yes, in general. If we stop pretending that non-profits are purpose bound and just a generic bag of money that is to be used for whatever the board thinks is a good idea then there is little point in having different non-profits in the first place.

I've got HA set up (nearly 2 years now with a whole host of things connected: Bluetooth, WIFI, iOS devices, Zigbee, etc.) and I think I'm only just getting to the point now of two weekends worth of reading docs (primarily because their documentation seems to be written by developers rather than technical writers). Most time I've spent tinkering with HA was modifying their embedded `mastodon.py` to make it work with GotoSocial (but I think someone upstreamed a fix for that and it's no longer required.)

Rafizi's Big-Gov Arm USD$250 Million Strategy Raises Semicon Eyebrows, Why not open source RISC-V?

Malaysia’s US$250 million partnership with Arm Holdings to develop semiconductor chips has sparked debate, with concerns about its risks and missed opportunities. One major issue is the lack of published details regarding royalty structures and intellectual property agreements, raising questions about transparency and the long-term financial impact on the country. Critics also point out that Malaysia could have embraced the open-source RISC-V architecture, a royalty-free alternative that encourages innovation without the ongoing costs tied to proprietary technologies like Arm’s.

There is also unease about Malaysia's dependence on Arm for intellectual property, which could limit the country's control over its semiconductor industry. Additionally, Kevin Brockland has voiced concerns over the government's heavy involvement, arguing that it could distort the startup scene by crowding out private sector-driven innovation. As Malaysia pours resources into Arm, many other countries are turning to RISC-V, which offers a more flexible and cost-effective approach, raising questions about whether this partnership is the right path forward.

Agree. It does a good job at coming up with a plausible meaning of novel words like "multiarborality" → "the state of relating to many trees" but it doesn't indicate that this is a "fake" word even though I just made it up.

I remember how we were fuming at the A4000 opting for IDE over SCSI, and the other ways it was hampered, and how ugly it was. The A4000's was PC-ification of the Amiga without the upsides - things like SCSI helped offset the anaemic higher end M68k CPU's. An A3000 + faster CPU + flicker fixer built in + AGA, would've been vastly superior. Basically Dave Haynie's A3000+ prototype.

> The purpose of technical documentation is to take someone who has never seen your project, teach them to be an expert user of it, and support them once they become an expert.

I would like to understand how this would fly for any other domain.

For instance if I buy skillet pan at a home center I generally get 3 lines of advice on how to clean it, and am supposed to then spend perhaps 6 months of trial and error and go through dozens hours or youtube and litterature to become an decent user.

If I buy a car there will be a 400 page user manual, yet no indication on how to replace the rear axle, or how to realign the wheels, or anything that would qualify me as an expert.

If I buy a violin there will be absolutely no instruction whatsoever and I might spend a lifetime to become an expert at it.

Documentation in the real world is usually third party, targeted at a very specific need of a specific public, and isn't supposed to single-handedly make you an expert at anything. I think this gets lost a lot in how people try to document their work and what they expect from projects maintained by volunteers for instance.

PS: by that token, what I expect from documentation is to be absolutely true and accurate. If it's a tall order, no documentation is fine as long as I can spend my time discovering on my own.

A high minded extremely precise but completely obsolete tutorial is IMHO worse than no tutorial in the first place in that a potentially infinite amount of user time will be lost from it, in balance of the few hours the first users gained from it when it was still relevant.
Speaking from experience, in Germany people refuse to learn any new software and are quickly overwhelmed if 1 thing is different from what they are used to.
Open source government solutions are good and all, people will only use them if forced to by law though. Public offices are one of the reasons our digitalization is really far behind.
