That gave me something to play with with these models and this came out as a claimed disproof of the Dixmier Conjecture: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/pedrocr/51157b9b2eed8152…

What you are describing is what's called free float market cap and is generally what market indices use to weigh stocks. That way you're only trying to replicate the market of stoc…

It was still more secure than the default if I understand this correctly. On resume from suspend the laptop would still be locked by the encryption key and without access to the di…

+ battery too. I've wondered if a mini pc with battery would make for a good form factor. I often move between places where I have a desk with a screen but still use a laptop becau…

In the AMA you link they say the tulip mania was probably a bubble just not a major one that impacted the economy meaningfully.

That seems wrong. If you have a way to maintain enough propulsion for long enough you can escape the gravity well at any arbitrarily low speed. You "just" need to maintain that spe…

There seem to be some 15 inch all-in-ones but these days if what you want is a small form factor the answer is surely a laptop. Even if you're just going to keep it on the same des…

I once made a criminal complaint because of a sewer line that was frequently allowed to overflow into a creek. The prosecutor refused to prosecute the case with the argument that t…

Another advantage is you can place the fans all along the wing getting you better stall resistance as the flow doesn't detach as easily. There's already a prototype of a hybrid pla…

One of the authors of this paper did a pretty long podcast with Huberman about this topic: https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/red-light-to-improve-met... The show notes have links…

That's great if you're compiling for use on the same machine or those exactly like it. If you're compiling binaries for wider distribution it will generate code that some machines …

I'm curious if that's still the case generally after things like musttail attributes to help the compiler emit good assembly for well structured interpreter loops: https://blog.rev…

Thanks! By retrofitting I mean having to have a new protocol with this new opt-in method where some apps will be getting integer scales and go through a transform and some apps wil…

Seems like the support is getting there. I just checked Firefox and it has landed the code but still has it disabled by default. Most users that set 1.5x on their session are proba…

That's what I referred to with "we'll be finally getting that in Wayland now". For many years the Wayland protocol could only communicate integer scale factors to clients. If you a…

That's probably better than most scaling done on Wayland today because it's doing the rendering directly at the target resolution instead of doing the "draw at 2x scale and then sc…

Wouldn't that need a huge amount of extra hardware to do that filtering when the routers in each customer's home are mostly idle? Just setting egress filtering as the default and l…
