We may not yet have had the war that ends all wars.

Whenever I think about protecting the environment, I think about preventing the catastrophes that are wars.

Well, if you circle back to minimalist wallets, https://www.hawbuck.camp/ makes a wonderful one.

No time to elaborate at the moment. Just want to say that this is extremely exciting news.

Finding the thorium line is one of the most important open problems in precision/fundamental measurement.

Tides depend on both the moon and sun. So does the phase of the moon.

Tides are largest at full moon and new moon, when their gravity gradients combine to enhance each other's tides. A week later, their gravity gradients interfere, decreasing the amplitudes of the tides.

I don't know how much the publisher made in revenue from each cartridge. $0.50 might have been 5% of revenue?

It leads to balkanization -- see Google's total withdrawal from China.

As a consumer, I recently selected a new device in large part because its cloud-affiliated software (and bespoke operating system) was written, stored, and administered in countries with appropriate and ethical legal frameworks. The competition was more feature-complete, but I concluded that I couldn't trust any of those options.

General Relativistic time differences come primarily from differences in gravitational potential, not field-strength.

Thus, it is impossible to perform the suggested procedure. We don't (and probably can't) know what zero potential looks like.

Furthermore, we would probably measure those potential differences using clocks that rely upon the SI as presently defined.

To do so is to redefine the second on the moon. That redefines the Watt, the Joule, the Newton, the Ampere, the Pascal, the Becquerel, etc.

It even makes a voltmeter read incorrectly.

Moon-meters would be different from Earth-meters.

Careful.

TAI doesn't help. Observers on Earth and the Moon will forever disagree about the other's duration of a second (unless they account for the relativity corrections that make them appear to be different).

It isn't just the speed/shape of the orbit. The gravitational potential difference is a major factor.

How is this idea different from JIRA's Plans?

Clean and efficient web (for consumers) isn't terribly profitable.

Craigslist could make a lot more money, especially in the short-term, with different design and monetization choices.

Does it implement the greedy matching/parsing of gnuplot? Doesn't look like it?

  pl 'data.dat' u 1:3 w p pt 7 lc 3 tit 'Interesting measurements'

flows from my mind like breathing. I miss that brevity and speed so much when exploring datasets quickly in other languages....

It's not nearly as maintainable as more-verbose and well-specified languages, but it's far more readable than regex :).

Edit to add: simply plotting a two-column data file in Gnuplot is as simple as:

  pl 'data.dat'

the above plots the third column against the first column with blue circular dots and applies annotated text to the key/legend, as I prefer to do when exploring data for the first time...

Is a layman's interpretation of this to state: LLMs tend to perform like aggregated humanity, but any given human will differ. Since all the volume of a high-dimensional sphere is at the edge, almost nobody is like the mean, so the false-positive-rate is low?

It's a clever plan, until the LLMs do some adversarial training....

A trillion dollars makes many things possible.

Unfortunately true.

Working with partners who have integrity is a massive boost to everything you do. People with high integrity attract more people with high integrity, compounding that effect.

That night-mode option in Saabs is pretty incredible. It simplifies the driving experience to an impressive degree.

Absurd court cases exist.

Might be careful about discerning which midnight applies.

I wish every manufacturer had an option for unique, nonrepeating, filenames!

Find a nice used EF 400 f/5.6L. It's hard to know what to write about it, except to say that it's great and has been a reliable companion for years.

Then one should be very careful when assigning 99.9% confidence intervals.

I would self-host on a cloud instance for a monthly fee if it required no maintenance overhead from me.

I might also self-host if residential ISPs didn't treat home servers as an aberration.

So there were few orange photons, but rather a mixture of red and green which commonly occur?

A position espoused by Bill Phillips [1], and to which I now adhere:

"You should be willing to take either side of the bet that confidence interval implies." (paraphrasing; he says it better).

For a concrete example, with a 95% confidence interval, you should be as willing to accept the 19:1 odds that the true value is outside the interval as you are the 1:19 odds that the true value is inside the interval.

Aside from being generally correct, this approach is immediately actionable by making the meaning more visceral in discussions of uncertainty. Done right, it pushes you to assign uncertainties that are neither too conservative nor too optimistic.

If the notion of letting your reader take either side of the bet makes your stomach a little queasy, you're on the right track. The feeling will subside when you're pretty sure you got the errorbar right and your reasoning is documented and defensible.

Edit for OP's explicit question: One standard-deviation errorbars are 68% confidence intervals. Two standard deviations are 95% confidence intervals. (assuming you're a frequentist, of course)

In my industry, we are seeing skillful phishing attempts compromising experienced and well-connected businesses. Those connections are immediately leveraged to strike again.

The MO is the same as described in the article -- a well-crafted email with a link to a file in a respected cloud host.

Is there a centralized place (FBI ?) to report these attacks? The bad actors will be obvious in aggregate.

I hope, but am not certain, that by configuring my Pixel to save both a jpeg and a raw for each image, at least the raw would avoid these shenanigans.

The legacy editing workflows are generally, if not entirely, still available in Darktable. I haven't yet encountered a defect in my old edits on new versions of Darktable.

If enough employees quit or Microsoft throws some weight around, the enterprise could implode, making board-control moot.
