Isn’t this a symptom of structural/duck typing where interfaces are not declared? In Java for all its faults this wouldn’t happen because you’d be forced to implement all the interfaces.
How is the byte counting reader supposed to work in user space without putting the buffer in user space? The article claims there is a way but I want to see what is meant by counting bytes in that case.
Yes that is what I meant. It’s not the same across reference frames.
I don’t find the OP a convincing argument. What is temperature, why can you assume it didn’t change and the measurement also didn’t change commensurately? Why should kinetic energy be convertible with thermal energy? Chemical energy?
It’s very hand wavy and introduces many assumptions.
Kinetic energy is a book keeping trick. The real mystery is explaining how it relates to other forms of energy and how to tie it together.
I’ve heard of space based microwave energy weapons. I haven’t looked at the physics personally but I talked to someone who did.
Something like a 10MW phased array to create a 1 cubic meter ball of plasma in the atmosphere. I wonder about the transmission losses… but what a weapon that would be!
Zuck has read one too many sci-fi novels. He is afraid. Afraid that he will be left behind by the AI oligopoly. Afraid that he won’t get to live in Elysium.
I could accept those mental gymnastics 4 months ago. But I’m afraid the quagmire in Iran has disillusioned me of any competency the administration might have.
Trump and co are not playing 4D chess. It looks more and more like 1D checkers.
I’m not very valiant to verify its veracity. But even if the math is merely derivative it merits mention.
