Can one merge master into tye feature branch often, and then interactive-rebase onto master removing all the merges?

To what degree is this possible to check statically? It feels like at least simple breaks of the ABI rules like this can be detected somewhat statically. The author already started with a very simple and incomplete version. In general, I wo

Starting e-mails with "dear Isis" just feels like begging to be added to watch-lists.

In some sense they are 'suckers' that give an incentive for the good predictors to play. It's much nicer to participate if most of the other bets are poorly made. Whether this is worsgamblers than othe

It's gambling for information discovery. Rather than gambling for fun. You see some of this in sports betting, but it is distorted by fans, and sport-outcomes are not really important.

They suggest world wide UTC, saying that the hours of noon, sunset, and sunrise don't really matter. But the real problem of UTC around Australia isn't the hours but the date. It is really convenient that the date changes whilst w

For other confused readers, RSA with 512 bits uses 155 decimal digits. Hence RSA-155. This seems to be old notation from the RSA challenge that was clasiffied by the decimal length of numbers rather than the bit-length. Note that RSA-155bit

The regression will 'set the value of the parameters'. OPs point is that when you want to change the regression your main 'hyper-parameter' (i.e. one that you get to choose rather than one that the system determines for

Stating that 'the time-frequency resolution trade off' is an instance of the uncertainty principle is at best a meaningless flourish, and generally speaking wrong. If anything, the uncertanity principle is due to the time-frequenc

Still watching the video, but I know that, in finite cases, a 'negative' frequency (i.e. rotating counter-clockwise) can also just be interpreted as a positive frequency rotating more than 180 degrees per step that is rotating clo

There are hints of tracking too many data points, and perhaps too much manual tracking. Also the story that, for very profitable drugs the approach is about speed of trials rather than cost. If that is pervasive then it might become standar

This matches what the author says no? He argues that clinical trials (i.e. deciding whether to approve a drug) should always be randomized. At the same time he believes there is lots of potential for real-world-data in other steps. Pre-tria

The article states that the major advantage of this new material is much better resistance to water. Are you saying that the levels of water described in the paper are still way below untreated flue gasses?

I don't think there are (economical) ways to stop emitting CO2 without phasing out fossil fuels. And like you said, regardless of CO2, fossil fuels will run out anyway. I wonder if any new civilization could bootstrap off existing know

Interesting angle. Even if this only works in smokestacks, it is hugely valuable. We will be stuck with some fossil fuel in the coming few years at least. Making those years less polluting is worthwhile. I suppose there is a risk that peopl

Stupid idea of mine: can we start burying our paper rather than recyling it? It means every sheet of paper requires cutting down more trees, and hence putting more trees (indirectly) into the ground. If you then re-plant those trees you cap

Because the bar for 'invention' is even lower in current software patent law than for current physical engineering patent law. In general, the software world sees plenty of innovation, and would continue to see that innovation wit

If I read this correctly, this is mostly aimed at the smoke-stacks of fossil fuel plants. Great for reducing their harm before we phase them out, and valuable especially if it is cheap enough to actually be plausible. Cheap here matter more

The value of alignment (at least for me) is not in making the text of the code more readable. Instead, the value is communicating the structure of the code. Seeing the same shape repeatedly tells me a lot about what is happening. It also he

The first amendment is not the end-all and be-all of 'free speech'. Heck, the literal phrasing is "Congress shall not abridging the freedom of speech". The fact that congress is mentioned means that others can also abrid

This xkcd is about the first amendment. The discussion here is about censorship. Infringing the first amendment is censorship, but the converse isn't true. Plenty of things are censorship without infringing on the first amendment. As a

With the cost cap these days, I wish they would let up on so many of the 'this is to expensive to develop for everyone' regulations. Give us back mass dampers, active suspension, flexi-wings, dual-axis steering, and similar things

Thanks for this excellent explanation. I had questions, but they were answered by a closer reading of your explanation. I recently did some work where, interestingly enough, this did not apply. I was doing linear algebra modulo 2 (i.e. bina
