But if you say that a battleship floats on the water in a similar way to a rubber duck floating in the water... it's actually not similar... they are the same. It's the same water and the same physics. The "only" appreci

Instead of making it just an elisp interpreter, make it a generic platform where you can interpret any language and have them with together. Make it Programming Language Macros, PLMACS. Kind of life a POSIXs standard. Or the Truffle framewo

I just read quite a bit of the summary. Honestly, I don't really care if they are cranks. The theory makes for a fun read, and they have a lot of interesting ideas. Trying to identify where their theory is wrong is a fun exercise, at l

If Physicists could split atoms with only their arms and legs with some safety equipment, I bet they would get paid even more than 3.5 million pound salary.

AFAIU CSV is fundamentally ambiguous and can't actually be parsed in a fully deterministic way. Edge cases get hard when dealing with nested commas, and there's no standard escape sequence. Probably matters less with a two column

I like your take here, but I just want to say, that I'm not sure claiming that consciousness has a quantum basia is that extraordinary. We deal with lots of things that are quantum in nature on a daily basis. Once you get down to a cer

Thermodynamic analysis would actually be a really useful way to attack this problem, but unfortunately (though fortunately for stability) the brain and our computers are no where near the Landauer limit of computation. I actually wonder if

Disease is actually the main reason. Any parasite, bacteria, virus, and especially prions spread much much more easily the closer the food is to your own biology. Cannibalistic tribes have had issues with this in even the recent past.

This is why nobody can decide if computer science is actually science, engineering, or art. It's such a vast industry that it's clearly all 3 depending on what your doing.

CAN, MOST, Flexray, LIN, K-Line were all invented for automotive use. 2 wire Ethernet is also a thing that they spearheaded.

I don't think it's even limited to written or spoken languages. I've been learning a lot of CAD and mechanical principles lately, and I can tell that my brain has some sort of kinematic/movement language that is expandin

I thought the weak form was pretty solid? It's pretty obvious to anyone who learns math or programming, that once you find the right vocabulary or equation for something, that your brain chunks it, and it's easier to reason about

I looked it up. 1. SHA-256: Used twice (double SHA-256) for block hashing and once in address generation. 2. RIPEMD-160: Used once in address generation (after SHA-256). 3. ECDSA: Used once for transaction signing and verification. 4. Base5

Once you have the private key, you would submit a transaction with that private key and authorize a transaction to a public key that you control, and doesn't have part of the private key available. You don't need the public key, a

And here I thought BOSL2 was the pinnacle of OpenSCAD libraries. Great library, thanks for sharing! https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2

I just looked at those other code CAD programs, and I don't see the appeal over OpenSCAD. I have no interest in browser based CAD programs because as models become complex, that platform is too limited in performance. Python and statef

It's not actually an SDR, it just has a discerning collection of hardware radio modules on it. If it was a self contained SDR you would expect a much beefier processor and power draw from the device from all the digital signal processi

Could this be a generation thing? My dad used to be bewildered at my listening to music while I would do homewok when I was younger. With Discord and Streaming being a big thing maybe you could build up a certain mind set where having a bac

There isn't really a ceiling to great engineers, I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion. As an engineer, your knowledge base constantly expands, and building a well engineered system can make a product far better for far che

I've been playing with Avogadro lately, and some of the libraries seem pretty advanced. You know it's legitimate science when Fortran libraries start compiling as part of the dependencies. https://avogadro.cc/

The really nice thing about Clojure is it runs on the JVM. The entire ecosystem could die tomorrow, and you can still compile new Clojure code for any system that supports Java in the future.

Yes I think embeddings using some sort of analysis is the correct answer. I have a basic natural language processing system implemented in Neo4J (what I tried to use before Logseq). But to take notes I like plain text more than a database.

This explanation resonates with me a lot. I use Logseq to store my notes in a graph now, which works pretty darned good for me, but it still bothers me that I can't have polyhierarcies in the namespaces and/or compound aliases. I

You say it's optimized for SLA, could it work with FDM? I haven't looked up the dialectic constants for PLA or PETG, but I'm very curious.

Yes I got Covid it before vaccines were available. I work from home, and I'm generally pretty careful, I got it the other times in places you wouldn't really expect like drive throughs. The first case was by far the worst though.
