Agree. Espacially, a TSV file is very easy to process in chunks, you don't need a specialized parser like with JSON where most libs just loads the whole thing.
700kb/s smell super fishy.
I can parse that with one Python VM and a few MB of RAM way faster. And node has a JIT.
Besides, let's imagine it would be effectively the case that Python and Node are too slow for this, that would be the perfect case to delegate the task to infra instead of introducing a whole new language and ecosystem plus a rewrite. E.G: a perfect use case for DuckDB.
Agreed that there's something else going on here, but it's worth noting that (C)Python uses reference counting (with periodic cycle breaking), rather than tracing GC. Not sure if that actually affects throughput in this scenario though
We convey meaning using words, but it doesn't have to be that way. They may have sounds that map directly into spacial descriptions in a way that light works for us.
Yeah, for whales by mimicking sonar (caveat emptor).
In Signed Language you can point into a 3D space. If you define a mapping of the world into the 3D space available to Signed Language then you have the world at your fingertips.
I love sign language for it's "pronoun" system and spatial features, but the reality is we could just a easily "annotate" spoken english with similar spatial context, sign language just does a good job of teaching all parties how to do that be default. By not teaching ASL to everybody who speaks english, we are really missing out on more bandwidth (for detail and redundancy) in communication.
It’s not just the evil maid but what happens if your device is stolen (or scanned by the police), or you run malware by mistake and want to restore it to a trustworthy state. Most people should worry about those more than the evil maid scenarios.
- I can't prevent the police from pegasusing my device.
- I haven't have anyone infected by a malware in years, no matter the brand of device.
- Most thief won't be able to do anything with any of my devices, no matter the brand. They are not very smart, and can't deal with a bios password, an encrypted disk or even simply a locked smartphones. They steal it anyway, and throw it away when it fails.
But in the end, I don't optimize my life for the rare occasion of being stolen.
I optimize it for my day to day problems, like being able to use my machine to do what I want to do every day, without having to hope I'm allowed to do it by corporations.
I'm much more worried about the state of society that losing a phone once to a thief.
Notice how those tools don’t have perfect coverage, often don’t support fully patched devices or only work with e.g. short PINs, and in high profile cases it often takes months to crack iPhones? Nobody said this is easy but it’s a lot harder than it used to be.
I don't think you understand what a human right is. If you don't have freedom of speech, you're not suddenly not human lol. The point is that if you're human you should have access to your rights, not the other way around which wouldn't make any sense
Not sure this is a great answer anymore. O365/Powerpoint supports multi-user collaboration, change detection and automatic version control; however, no judgement on the overall efficacy.
Sync is poor and colleagues and I broke at least two presentations soon before preventing them so we all agreed to stop using PowerPoint and O365 this way. Now we use marp to great success see in another comment.
so you're saying we're not allowed to look at the rest of the universe so that we can solely focus on the low frequency of times an object collides with Jupiter? that seems like not a good use of all of the observation ability we have
The Search for Terrestrial Intelligence scores a positive signal.
Adding one further factor to your list: there's all but certainly a direct correlation between major Jupiter strikes and Earth strikes. Refining estimates of the former will help in establishing values of the latter.
Though existing known power-law relations of meteor(ite) impacts on Earth of size vs. time are fairly well established as well, I suppose.
>>No, he’s saying one singular (small) telescope could be pointed at Jupiter at all times.
> The Search for Terrestrial Intelligence scores a positive signal.
For a singular telescope to be viewing Jupiter, it would only be able to see one side of Jupiter. What happens if an object collides on the backside? Going to throw off your metrics that you seem to think is a worth while effort to investigate.
So I guess terrestrial intelligence didn't score much after all
Impact location is randomly distributed. Curiously enough, extrapolation from observations based on half the surface are should be reasonably possible, though some may find the maths involved challenging.
Jupiter's rotational period is ~10 hours. Atmospheric scars from sufficiently sizeable impacts will be visible on average within half that period. (See the Shoemaker-Levy instance for how farside impact atmospheric scars appear.)
I don't know about magnesium specifically but I know there were experiments with calcium showing that supplementation both a) didn't absorb 100% of whatever you took, and b) had an upper limit for what could be absorbed over N hours. At a certain point you just have to eat food with calcium in it. I wouldn't be remotely surprised to find that's true for most/all micronutrients.
Supplementation can help, sometimes, but will always be a fraction as impactful as a healthy, well-rounded diet.
Calcium and magnesium share some pathways for absorption and compete with each other. Not only is there a limit to how much calcium or magnesium you can absorb, but if you have a high-calcium diet, your body will absorb less magnesium.
There are other minerals which have this kind of competition, so supplementing with one mineral can cause problems with absorption of another.
IIRC, calcium uptake from the intestines is boosted by the presence of fatty acids. Different types of magnesium supplements have different absorption rates (e.g., magnesium oxide vs magnesium glycinate).
Even to the extent that that may be true, it is going to be an average: different people's bodies will be different in what they can absorb, and the same body at different times will be different. Sometimes dramatically, particularly if you have a deficiency.
It's not just a matter of will. The fact is that if you are a commercial venture, you are dependent of your server hosting and and your payment provider, both of which usually will drop you like a stone if you don't stay withing Disneyland use cases boundaries.
They are basically implicit law makers, and unless you are very, very big, you have zero impact on their policies nor can appeal their decisions once they hit you.
They don't need proof. They don't even need facts. They can and will kill your business if they even start to believe you don't match their guidelines.
Just today I had an idea for a funny T-shirt design, for some print on demand stuff I want to do.
I will probably never do it because it requires a parody of a trade mark — think Zeitgeist[0] if you know SF — and I’m afraid the algos would flag me as a bad guy even if it’s perfectly legal. I already got kicked off Redbubble for uploading AI-generated images, with no recourse whatsoever.
Whereas if I would just have it printed locally and sell it at fairs I’d be in the clear for sure. Until Skynet becomes brand-aware anyway.
Those providers have lawyers, and they themselves don't want to go anywhere near trouble. The few $1000s you might be paying them to run your Silk Road 2.0 aren't worth the millions they will spend on legal, reputation damage, etc.
Also having lived in West Africa, it's a very bad market so financial incentives are low. Plus they can't dev it themselves.
