If you're a woman, you're consenting to the possibility of becoming pregnant. If you're a man, you're consenting to the possibility that the woman man become pregnant and may choose to keep the baby.

The point is to make obvious non controversial examples to get the idea across.

Really it is a vast oversimplication. It's only what the system is made to look like it's doing, it's actually doing something completely different. https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/66109.html

During the incident, he was demonstrating the technique necessary to Graves, not performing an actual experiment. He was a bit of a show-off and was doing the demonstration without shims that would have prevented criticality. And yes, all t

I think while useful as release notes, the much more important aspect is that it recognizes and highlights the contributions of individual developers.

The insight that there are problems a theoretical machine with infinite capacity and infinite time cannot solve is such an interesting result.

by russdill 3y ago
You're pointing out that a machine that can grow without bound is mathematically equivalent to an infinite one. There's a reason the word "finite" is part of "finite state machine". If you have a state machine

Ok, if you want to create your own definitions and describe how they fit together, that's fine. I was speaking of the formal definitions of computability complexity classes, so I think we were speaking past each other a bit.

I'm saying that a silicon computer a lower completely class than a theoretical Turing machine, not higher
673.
by russdill 3y ago
My point being is that from a computational complexity standpoint, your computer is not a Turing machine, just a very very very large FSM. So it's still very useful to think of it as a Turing machine.

by russdill 3y ago
A Turing machine with a finite tape can be simulated with an FSM, and so is in a lower class.

I mean if you do, one instance will delete intermediate build objects of another instance, etc.
676.
by russdill 3y ago
Build support in general isn't great. The way external objects are linked is a bit hinky, cross compilation support is poor, and running multiple instances of the compiler at the same time on the same machine isn't supported.

I would love a legal requirement to generate a Twitter 1.0 style quarterly transparency report. Never going to happen of course

I think it would fall under "depiction". Something doesn't have to be a photo to be considered pornographic by legal or even lay standards.

Depending on availability, there are a couple of NASA assets that may capture the flight of the booster and the re-entry and descent of the second stage.

Not only that, but it's based on a very certain, but false, idea of why it "works".

If a byte takes 15 minutes, your latency is the time of flight plus 15 minutes.

Ok, then limit airspeed and not true airspeed. Done.

Check the caps in the wall wart (or a new wall wart). They went bad in mine and needed replacing.

So 70,000 tons of regolith? I'm not a moon engineer or anything, but I think given the choice of bringing 70 tons of nitrogen, or the equipment to process that amount of regolith over a reasonable scale you'd just bring the nitrog

The Apollo engineers knew this and it factored into their choice. For whatever reason not enough consideration was given to full up ground tests where the same atmosphere would be used, but at 1atm.

TIL; when researching breathing gases I found "Hydrox". And yes, it's exactly what it sounds like and divers have successfully used it.

You could cut this by about a third by using helium as a buffer gas. And cut it even further by reducing pressure and increasing oxygen percentage
