Quantum Bayesianism [0] treats such effects explicitely as Bayesian belief updates of the experimenter. This leads to an interpretation of quantum mechanics free of such paradoxical/counterintuitive statements about reality. I'd like to hear other physicists' opinions on minority interpretations like this.

“The flying qualities in the blended region...were not intuitive or favorable.”

God, I love bureaucrat-talk. It's a pig. A trillion-dollar pig. But that doesn't mean we can't put lipstick on it!

Last time this came up on HN, somebody recommended reading about the life of John Boyd. For those of you interested in how large systems of people operate, how the Pentagon ends up with bad airplanes, principles of organization change, and the philosophy of strategic planning? Go read as much as you can. Boyd was no Sun Tzu, but he significantly advanced the state-of-the art in a bunch of seemingly unrelated fields. I have a feeling we'll be parsing some of his stuff over the next few decades.

Aside from providing promotions to large sections of the officer core and gainful employment to many large defense contractors in various districts of various politicians, I'm not sure what the F-35 is actually for. It's like the space shuttle: it's supposed to do so many contradictory things at the same time that it doesn't seem to do any of them well.

In fairness, the Osprey tilt-rotor had a lot of the same type of procurement and delivery problems. Anybody remember ring vortex state? But the Osprey at least had somewhere it was going: take a squad of marines or special operators far inland as fast as an airplane without using runways at either end. It looks like the Osprey is turning the corner and can finally deliver the goods.

Not so much with the F-35.

I'm not sure what to do with the program now. My instinct says keep the close air support and air superiority fighters we have and concentrate on the F-35's stealth capabilities. But strategically, once somebody figures out how to use passive radiation to paint and plot airborne targets? The stealth game is up. Required computing power may be a decade or two away, but it's well within the expected lifetime of the airframe. I think maybe you just bail out on the whole thing and go back to strategy school.

I find it fascinating how the speed of light, quantum indeterminacy and Planck's length could all be seen as allegories for computational optimisations in a simulated universe.

This is something that I've thought about for some time, I posted a question about this a number of years ago on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/g287k/quantum_indet...
.. and nobody hears it, then is there even ground for it to fall onto?
I find myself often switching between dark/light colorschemes when I'm working inside/outside. However, this is a quite annoying task, I have to change the colorscheme of my terminal, and of Vim. Besides, I have multiple Vim sessions running in various tmux/terminal tabs, so when I switch to a different tab, I have to change the colorscheme of Vim again.

Then when I go inside/outside again I have to switch it all back. Quite a hassle. Has anyone found any trick to automate this? For starters I wouldn't know how to change the colorscheme of all my Vim sessions. Can you send a signal to your Vim sessions maybe? Then changing the terminal colorscheme is of course dependent on the terminal app you're using.
> developed the simulation we are living

Well, the way I understand this, is that this result proves that we do NOT live in a simulation. Because if reality does not exist until measured, then we apparently cannot compute reality ahead of time. And if we cannot compute reality ahead of time, it does not exist yet.
Maybe - but users won't go for it if there's a principal-agent problem. Google and Apple will face a temptation to choose suppliers that pay the highest commissions and they'll have to overcome that temptation if they want their services to take off.

They won't get users to say "Siri, book me a flight" if it books you a $500 American Airlines flight when you wanted a $300 Southwest flight.
Eurofighter is cheaper and BETTER that the F-35. Plus it's local so helps European economy instead of sending money to the EEUU.

Not sure what 'sama means by this, but I guess it's what I feel - government projects tend to go slow unless there's an actual, real security reason for them to go faster, in which case - like with Manhattan project - you get crazy amount of productivity and progress.

> Uber isn't really a job open to the poor. First, you need to be able to afford a decent car, which is right out for the for a lot of people. Second, if you're poor and living paycheck to paycheck, you're unlikely to have the cash to cover any major repairs.

Which doesn't stop people from buying nice cars. Don't get me wrong, the whole recent model car thing is a barrier, you need credit; but have you seen how easy it is to get a car loan lately? It's like subprime mortgages back in the day.

And uber will even give you one of those 'merchant account advance loans' to buy the car where they take their payment out of your earnings; I imagine the income requirements on those are even lower than on a conventional car loan. (though, I imagine if your credit is terrible, you are screwed either way.)

Also, a 2005 model year car is... not a high bar.

Remember, in most parts of America, you need a reliable car for that job at Burger King, too. And once you factor in maintenance and gas, a 2000 model year really isn't all that much cheaper than a 2005

>Also, after you deduct vehicle depreciation, insurance, gas, and time driving without a fare, uber doesn't pay all that well per hour.

I'm comparing it to foodservice; and compared to burger king, from what I hear, it does pay pretty well. And the cost of operating the car (that you are gonna need for that burger king job, too) can (well, it's complicated) be paid for out of pre-FICA (well, pre-tax, but FICA is most of the tax that poor people pay) money, which is a nice benefit you don't get from burger king.

But Yes, I think we're in agreement that it's not very good compared to a middle-class job.

My point is just that it's pretty nice compared to a lower-class job.

>As far as actual driver statistics go, Uber isn't a good employment alternative for the poor, it's a stopgap measure for the unemployed middle class--more than half of drivers have a college degree and more than half work for less than a year.

40% of working-aged Americans, from what I read, have college degrees; I don't think that's an indicator of "not poor" anymore.
But I have to strongly disagree: POURNE was really, really stupid for thinking AND acting bad, and Chris/Gumby/Klotz made exactly the right call. The ARPANET was not Jerry Pournelle's government sponsored entitlement program.
It's more likely that 2,000 of them will never be delivered.

It'll be more like 500, and they'll kill the purchases in N years and move on to the next program. A higher volume mimic of the F22 outcome. The defense contractors will make 1/5th as many as planned in 2010, at 1/2 the cost.

After seeing the demo, I felt like the Reddit commentator who wrote, "I've never gone so quickly from seeing something to buying it" [or wanting to!]. Unfortunately, the buy page is pretty complicated:

http://www.gridsagegames.com/cogmind/buy.html

The page has a lot of graphics and characters using strikethrough which confused me and looks somewhat unprofessional. I suspect the author might be losing conversions due to the complexity of this page. I would prefer a simpler buy page that put the actionable content right at the top. (I'm just looking for a regular commercial-type purchase of an early access game, not being a backer per se.)

I'm sharing this as constructive feedback in the hope the author might see it. A customer like me will appreciate a simpler, direct buy page that doesn't require a lot of thought from "oooo this looks fun" to making the purchase. Capitalize on impulse buys coming out of your demo.

Anyway, very polished and fun from the few minutes I've had to play it so far. Nice work!

This game is easily as polished as, or more polished than plenty of games on Steam Greenlight. Steam was the first place I looked for it, actually, after reading the article. A game like this should attract huge interest among the right audience if it's replayable. You have flashy and normal enough graphics with an easy-to-understand interface that regular gamers can enjoy it, and it also seems like it will appeal to the hardcore roguelike gamers. I'd highly recommend you try to get it on Steam as soon as you think it's ready (speaking as a person who makes a lot of video game purchases on Steam and not many outside it).
Reality wouldn't type check.
Finally. Pre-iPhone, I was always able to use my GPRS/3G phones in various countries for free using data roaming. It would just use my normal (unlimited) megabytes. I could even tether unofficially.

Then the iPhone came out, and an “unlimited international data” plan was an additional $60/month, I believe. Basically doubling the monthly cost, and that didn’t have tethering.

THEN, they got rid of that altogether, and ever since it’s been a scramble in every country to buy a SIM card just to pay local rates and not get ripped off. It’s all the same internet… if you’re not at home and roaming agreements exist, the carriers should just be forced to pay each other fair rates.
No I'm pretty sure it would be easier (aka shorter) using 7zipped brainfuck.

Tomahawk missiles were doing exactly this and more back in the 1990's. Shoot off a few and they would communicate amongst themselves, detect (or get blown up by) threats, and alert the other Tomahawks in the swarm who would then reroute to avoid that threat. Additionally, the missiles shared weighted target lists and knew if a missile on the way to a target was destroyed or disabled, and so would reroute in-flight missiles -if needed- in order to hit the highest-priority targets.
Sure, but they still remain US companies, and it's basically the main fact that allow them to do so (the US government negotiated treaties with countries so that US companies can sue their government).

I like that lambda trick. I was hoping Crash would actually crash the program so you could tell if you won by looking at the error it gives (if its KeyboardInterrupt or something else).

Here's mine.

$ python -c 'import random;L=sorted(str(random.randint(1,9)) for i in range(4));a=raw_input(L);print(eval(a)==24,sorted(filter(str.isdigit,a))==L)'
['2', '6', '7', '8']8*(7+2-6)
(True, True)

Try to make it print (True, True) without abusing eval too much (intended to be +-*/() only with digits as tokens).

A nicer interface, but too long:

import random;L=sorted(str(random.randint(1,9)) for i in range(4));a=raw_input(" ".join(L)+"\n> ");print(eval(a)==24,sorted(filter(str.isdigit,a))==L)
What should be mentioned is the single market where using a SIM card from another EU country could turn out cheaper than using a domestic one.

I think the answer to your question is unequivocally yes. Information is too perfect in bitcoin mining it to diverge too far from its rational rate.

Calculating your (probable) return is trivial, and calculating your cost is trivial. Ergo calculating your profit is trivial.

Mining at a loss in anticipation of a price rise doesn't make sense. If you are mining in anticipation of a price rise and you have the finances to buy and support a mining rig, then you should just take that money and buy coins on the open market. The only people for whom mining at a loss makes sense are people who already have sunk costs in mining rigs.

The idea that the bitcoin market will, in aggregate, not realize this, is far-fetched at best.
Completely agree and it's pretty high on the TODO list.

Came to my attention since Dockers new project notary leverages it: https://github.com/docker/notary
Africa has received about a trillion dollars in aid since the mid 1960s.

You can't wipe out much of the total global poverty (2 billion people in that category) for a trillion dollars. And the small impact you would make would be only temporarily unless you build up systems that drive income and self-sustaining economies.

To put it another way, you could give the 2 billion people living in poverty around the world, $500 each. It wouldn't even remotely dent the problem.
That is nowhere near a minimum salary required. Private schools and £300 a week on groceries, and 20K a year on holidays!??!

A focus on excessive procedure at the expense of real progress, unless there's a pressing need (like war), would be my guess too.

I use solarized, which has a light and a dark variant. So even when I'm in the terminal (which is always) I can easily switch between light and dark.

The solarized vim plugin even has a key binding to do this.
On a micro level the opposite is true. The worst that's going to happen to a drone operator for not firing first is a reprimand for losing the equipment.

On a policymaking level, I can't think of too many air strikes called off from fear of the airmen's lives. Fear of terrorist reprisals, foreign policy debacles and ending up with people on the ground are far bigger issues to be considered which won't go away with drones.
Thanks back! :)

60 servers for less than one message per second. I suppose they do something important and CPU intensive with each message.
I haven't actually, but I just looked at it and while it seems very well thought of, the first thing I miss from stash is the fact that It doesn't show me the whole file by default, just the diffs. And I can comment on lines outside the diffs, which is often needed. I could't find a way in reviewable to comment on a line. Stash shows the comments near the lines which makes it easy to follow.

In stash, I see the list of files on the left, and clicking on each file shows me the diffs. I also have the option to see the diff only (without the whole file).

Where I work we cannot use outside review tools, it has to be hosted internally. But I don't think we are your target audience in this case.

I'll admit when she started digging in (with her bare hands) getting excited about 3 milliseverts/hour I had to jump over to http://xkcd.com/radiation/ to find out how worrisome it was.

I was also a little concerned that she had a runny nose, and kept rubbing her nose with that hand...

But apparently, 2 milliseverts (her exposure in an hour) is about what you would get from a CT scan. US Radiation Workers are allowed up to 50 milliseverts.

Though, at the end, when she has it fully uncovered, and is measuring 17 milliseverts/hour, and expositing on how beautiful it is...
You're correct, this is a bug - occasionally the app has trouble detecting which backgrounds a colorscheme supports.
