If a former employee of mine uses proprietary information to build a competitor, I’d be upset. The key is what is classed as proprietary. You start barking up the software patent tree and you never know what the lawyers will throw back down.
We all share a single photon in some theories. When time has no meaning, it can run through the whole universe in a strobe.
Large correlated events need to exist because smaller correlations do. It only makes logical sense if you try to remedy the movement / distance paradoxes.
There’s probably an information density limit, which is why far away galaxies will never have their information reach us after a certain point. They might as well not exist to us, because their information will never be useable in a correlated way.
But, who/what wants to prevent everything from happening at once?
Interestingly, it seems like that might be the missing piece
Most mainstream physical models try to do away with us. To explain the world as if we weren’t in it. How things “really are”. But it’s an impossible thing to answer, because everything is mediated through our own human experience
Hence, it might be better to include our role as observers/interpreters in the models
If we can prove entanglement still exists on a per particle level, hawking radiation is just a correlation fix that uses massive black hole lifetimes to reintroduce particles when they no longer affect the time ordering. Experiments showing photons “reversing” in time stop working through a black hole most likely.
The issue is memory. Every library in an app image has a unique memory space and so you have a bunch of copies of sometimes very large libraries sitting in memory rather than one copy from disk mmapped into memory and page duplicated all over the place.
Linux has had support for not doing duplicate pages for a long time now. I am forgetting the name of the feature but essentially this duplication is a solved problem.
That's only the case if the libraries loaded are identical, It won't work with slightly different versions of the same library (unless the differences are small and only replacements, so the pages remain aligned between different versions), and that case is very unlikely to be solvable
Could be big, depending on how much room you give to /. All my Linux life, I have allocated about 50GB to the root partition and it's been adequate, leaving enough room for my data (on a 512GB drive). Now I install one flatpak and I start getting low disk space warnings.
- Qt 6 (core, widgets, gui, network, qml, qtquick, serial port, websockets and a few others) and all its dependencies excluding xcb (so freetype, harfbuzz, etc. which I build with fairly more recent versions than many distros provide)
- many random protocol & hardware bindings / implementations and their dependencies (sdl)
- portaudio
- ysfx
with Flatpak I'd be looking at telling my users to install a couple GB (which is not acceptable, I was already getting comments that "60 MB are too much" when it was 60 MB a few years ago).
My steam library is on another drive (I have multiple O(TBs) large spinning-rust drives on the desktop). The nvme is strictly the base system + apt packages + build tools + /home/.
I also shun the snap bullshit. But TBH I haven't divided my disks into more than one partition (except from /boot and EFI stuff) for many many years now.
In addition to memory, there's the ability to patch a libz bufferoverflow once, and be reasonably sure you don't have any stale vulnerable copies still in use.
So the solution is to get more doctors who can then unload the burden. If you look at the cap on medical school enrollment in the US, it’s very much an artificial supply restriction to keep wages high.
There must be short term pain - in 15 years you can have a lot more doctors, but we have to get them through school and residency first, and everyone already in the industry needs to work even harder to do that.
Demand for healthcare is super high and supply of doctors is low. And you're arguing _against_ increasing the supply? The status quo isn't a valid answer -- if doctors are already at the point of burnout, something has to be done to fix the long-term problem that has brought us to this point.
Interesting! I didn't know this ... however, getting an MD is necessary to make someone ready to be a practising physician. In Ireland we seem to be drastically undersupplied with doctors - I had a couple of years recently where I was in my local ER quite a lot, and there were typically 2 doctors on duty, covering a catchment area of half a million people. Training more MDs seems like an important first step in increasing the supply
Residency programs are hot bullshit, it's just more gatekeeping. There's no reason that a recent medical grad couldn't do the same shit they're having nurse practitioners do instead of doctors at 95% of all care facilities now. Currently we cram the entirety of someone's medical training in 5 really awful years, then call them "finished" and let them do whatever the fuck they want with limited oversight in a lot of cases. If other trades ran like that, the world would be literally falling apart.
Residences are crucial for actual clinical learning, it's more developmental than medical school which is a broad base for understanding physiology. Most doctors at teaching programs will tell you: even 3rd-year med students barely know a thing. Could they likely do the same tasks as first-year NPs who went straight from RN to NP school without any clinical experience? Yes, probably, but they almost certainly would have the same vulnerability NPs do: they don't have anywhere close to the same understanding of the physiology critical for decision-making outside of typical cases or considering interactions of different indicators.
That said, I do think there's probably more of a role for some graduating med students than we use now. I don't think they need a 3-year residency to enable them for many general practitioner duties particularly in rural settings where the patient load is less, the pay is likely less, but the cases are more homogenous.
Temporarily at best. If I invent fire and lock it down so that only my grill can use it, while also releasing feel good propaganda to convince people that it is the only way fire works, yes it’s more beneficial than not for a time. As society grows around the concept, the artificial limitations begin hindering the elevated stage more than helping.
These companies have convinced unwitting masses that this is in their long-term best interests. I assure you it is not. It is about being controlled, and the invisible limitations placed on an individual when they grow to love their chains.
I relate to this through my childhood. I had no inner voice, it was all images and feelings up until college woke my inner dialog. I always felt others knew better, and I became a people pleaser due to the lack of autonomy I felt.
It took one unimportant moment of standing up for myself that turned me from a yes follower, into a combative agreer. I had a series of nights where a puzzle appeared to be being solved in my mind, and an inner voice began to form.
Social interactions go much more smoothly when you can think before you speak in terms that others can understand when the words leave your lips.
I had the opposite experience. I always had such an intense 'inner monologue' that it dominated my experience of life. Outside of doing things that required all of my attention like playing games I never lived in the moment. It made social interaction difficult because I would always obsess over how to say things in the right way.
It took me until my 20s to learn how to relax it and not go over and over everything.
Your account seemed really alien to me when I read it, it's hard to believe people can have such a different experience of life. It's rarely discussed explicitly.
I do not mean to discount this interesting iota, however, I had a similar realization when I was 7; whether it coinciding with learning of the Copernicus principle is merit or raw luck notwithstanding, I saw my siblings as none other than another family in another house: all others would view me, and us, as neighbors, and we are all side-characters in each others story.
That thought is "sonder" - although it differs from what you describe, it has some parallels.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39714485 ; I had been surprised by how many HN'ers perceived "only uttering what one has had a chance to edit beforehand" as being more hindrance than help.
At this point I’ve reined it in to be a tool. When it formed, it was so useful it became my primary method of communication. As I’ve progressed, it’s now a part of my tool bag I can call on.
I only learned English as a toddler, and it’s definitely my native language, but I came from having another native language first. I often wonder if that’s why my brain didn’t form an inner voice. I had to learn a new native language at a critical learning period, and I ended up somewhere half way.
Sure. It was at the end of the semester, filling in surveys for the class. I volunteered to submit the names to the office. All of the sheets were in the envelope, the total number submitted written on the sheet ready to send to the office. Then one student came back in a gave their sheet in.
My two classmates left over asked me to scratch the old number and add one to it. I refused for no good reason, in the wrong from a process perspective. I didn’t change it and didn’t want to. After my classmates pushed, I still refused stating that it really didn’t matter.
I went ahead and submitted the envelope containing 23 sheets with the number 22 still written on it. I felt liberated. Like I said, unimportant, but a flip switched. It was like I learned that it was ok to make mistakes while making decisions, so I let this one by.
Good ideas should have a provisional naming period where a standardize name can be agreed on. Anything else leads to fragmentation and lock in due to domain specific terminology.
