There is no meaningful left in the US. Conservatives are swatting at liberal identity politics warped through some kind of right wing media funhouse mirror.

Conservatives sure do try hard to not understand structural racism and it’s beneficiaries.

The neurons contributing to your sense of smell as well as your optic nerve are more or less considered part of your brain. Loss of smell is more or less a canary.

I’ve been using emacs on and off for about 20 years and I don’t really get the fanaticism. Org mode and magit and all these things are cool. I like that you can hack it. But — to me it never stops feeling like an ongoing project when you tr

I’m not saying this is a great way to do it but — you can go somewhere that if you can’t stay passionate, you drown.

Both can be true. Companies will question every little nickel and dime certain employees spend and then have big stupid horrible blind spots in other places. Happens all the time. I was a PhD student at Yale and they were extremely touchy a

My read is that you can usually get here if you just fight long enough, lol. I didn't get in for undergrad or grad school, but am here doing a postdoc. My advisor here was also rejected for grad school and undergrad. In the end it&#x27

This article has been written a hundred times. "We abandoned a fast language for a language that is slow but can use fast libraries, and so the result is fast. It's faster because the programmer discovered existing libraries that

It isn't. It's totally and completely arbitrary. It's a classic example of "priced what the market will bear."

Topological quantum computers don’t really represent 0 and 1 even like a standard gate based quantum computer or classical computer does. You have a collection of anyons that you move around each other in a way that encodes the computation

Don't be a jerk but _someone_ is gonna ask these questions. Might as well ask them before they make big sacrifices.

I know this will come off a bit spicy, but this is how all of CNN's articles are written, it's just that we're way more sensitive to wording that's sympathetic to advertising. This is how the media shapes language and ul

They were for college students. I think there was some way to do this legally but maybe I was breaking labor laws.

I worked a number of industry computing jobs starting at 14 years old. I worked at Apple, Palm, the Internet Systems Consortium, as well as a gov't lab (Lawrence Livermore.) Lawrence livermore was cool but high performance computing di

I'd bet they completely overengineered it with something that feels smooth and has the right amount of friction and balance and has a ton of precise parts that drove the price up, and will probably wear out in a very unpleasant way wit

This reminds me of when people say “real communism has never actually been tried!”

As you work on a project, you will slowly lose motivation without results. You can supplement motivation by changing the project slightly and adding novel little goals that can act like miniature projects to complete in order to have interm

No, you’re wrong. If you hook an ohmmeter to a 10 light-second long piece of LOSSLESS coax, you’ll measure the characteristic impedance (50 or 75 ohms, probably) of the cable for 20 seconds. I have done this personally with shorter coax and

This is flat out wrong. Heat pumps are only practically efficient within a range of temperature differentials.

More or less. I guess there’s incentive issues too. Maybe now people keep their houses unnecessarily warm to mine more —- but again, this is the closest thing to any kind of justification I’ve ever heard.

This is the only justification for mining I’ve ever been able to come up with.

EFL should never be recommended as a serious option.

Oh maybe it was that I had just unrolled it. I suppose there’s some setup involved though that I hadn’t accounted for. Either way, it’s a bit slow when it comes to DSP stuff unless you can avoid multiplications.

It’s 18 bits and 1.5 nanoseconds per +* plus overhead using a micronext. What did I miss? Also you’re assuming what I want to do is trivially parallelizable.

If something stalls then everything else behind it stalls or stuff behind it diverts stuff elsewhere. There’s signals for the data being available and signals for being able to accept data and such things.

The entire cpu itself _is_ the oscillator -- is one way to think of it. Calculating some boolean logic takes no clock, you just put the outputs on, and the outputs come out after some delay. If you connect 3 not gates in a ring, they will o

I've considered it. But why bother. Why work so hard to apply the wrong tool for the job
