I'm a home Arch linux user. It is a rolling release so I'm upgrading "all the time". It went almost always OK. I think I had only about 3 hiccups (i.e. I needed to resolve something non-trivial manually) in the last 10 years. It works just fine almost always. I'm not afraid to do an update :)

You wanted to add "... in a nondeterministic Turing machine". That is rather useless.

O(t/log(t)) is the old result. Their new result is O(sqrt(t*log(t))).

I did not read the paper. Only some comments based on the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

If I understand it correctly; using references to recompute everything in a data dependency manner to save as much space as possible would lead only to space reduction of O(t*log(t)) when compared to space unconstrained algorithm (i.e. an algorithm which uses about as much space as time). This is the old result. They also shift "temporary" variables typically needed during an computation into the computation intermediate results. They combine storing and modification into the same memory using "roots of unity" number systems. I do not know them but a trivial example is swapping two variables using xor without a need for a temporary:
a = a xor b
b = b xor a
a = a xor b
(similar addition/subtraction trick is not used because it needs carry over in general)

Practical usefulness seems rather limited. We often care more about small computation time than small memory usage.

That was absolutely great! Especially the very end (as already mentioned).

That is funny! You have given me a goo laugh. Thanks :)

You are not the only one.
Though in my case it was more about their mandatory account creation and online checking with the mother ship at the game launch. There where bugs in it or problems with the server availability or whatever. It did not work well. I uninstalled the one game I had and decided not to buy anything Ubisoft related any more.

50% unemployment is highly unlikely.
The unemployment rate maxed at 25% during the great depression in 1933.

The orbits below 400 km will clean themselves over time (at most few tens of years). Companies can make satellites a bit more aerodynamic, load them with enough fuel to maintain the orbit for the expected lifetime and continue launching without issues.
Other options are not feasible anyway. The clean space is a common good and there is little incentive for individual players not to pollute. Barring some international enforcement, space will get full of junk. The current political situation is not cooperative at the international level. The clean space enforcement is very unlikely.

My small test indicated that it is only about 20% smaller (though TFA claims 30%) and requires about 45% more CPU to decode when compared to VP9. Encoding is also many times slower than VP9. Both encoding and decoding were done on CPU (no HW support; ffmpeg; linux). AV1 may be more interesting later when it is better supported.

Don't be scared. You are not affected by CRA if you do not earn money on your open source software.

The CRA regulates commercial activity:
(10) This Regulation applies to economic operators only in relation to products with digital elements made available on the market, hence supplied for distribution or use on the Union market in the course of a commercial activity.
(10c) .. the provision of free and open-source software products that are not monetized by their manufacturers is not considered a commercial activity.
(10c) This Regulation does not apply to natural or legal persons who contribute source code to free and open-source products that are not under their responsibility.

Also non-profit organizations hosting open source are not under CRA. On the other side, commercial entities which profit from open source are responsible! These commercial entities are also responsible to publish vulnerabilities they find in open source and also the patches developed. In general, CRA seems to be more good than bad for open source.

It does when the target language (like Rust) has ownership and borrowing which strongly favors your program to have a design suitable for linear (affine) type systems. The system must be redesigned to work idiomatically in Rust.

It had only one wide angle camera. You would need about 3400 images to cover the sky when it was already there. You cannot do it in one time. The moons will move by the time you take all the images so you can miss some. Also you need to take a photo of each moon more times to be sure it is in orbit of Saturn. It does not make sense to do it when the probe is already there.
It might have found some while still far away when one picture can capture more space around Saturn.

They are working tirelessly to form a cartel :)
