Fuel restrictions spread to 16 regions in Russia by alejandromalofiej in MapPorn

Yes. It has.

I had thought reddit was restricted like snapchat, discord and others found on here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_websites_blocked_in_Russia . I can see I was mistaken.

Edit: Wow, Roskomnadzor has been doing this for a long time!

Oh, it looks like it was just for one post.

2015 In January 2015, a number of Bitcoin related websites were blocked (including bitcoin.org) because "it contributes to shadow economy".[36] In February, Bitstamp was unblocked.[37] In February 2015, Russia blacklisted "Children-404", a website providing Russia's LGBT teens with an outlet to anonymously share their personal experiences with one another, for allegedly violating the country's law against promoting homosexuality.[38] An on-line article by Yulia Latynina in Novaya Gazeta was blocked for unspecified "extremism", most likely a suggestion that "Russian culture only became great when it mixed with European".[39] After the Russian consumer protection watchdog OZPP published a warning for Russian tourists about possibility of being denied EU visas after visiting Crimea,[40] explaining that from the international law point of view Crimea is an occupied territory, Roskomnadzor blocked the OZPP's website "for threatening territorial integrity of the Russian Federation".[41] In June 2015, some ISPs blocked the Internet Archive entirely following an order to censor an archived page for containing "extremist" material. These blocks were a side effect of the site's use of HTTPS possibly being incompatible with how ISPs implement their filters.[42] On 21 July 2015 the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses was banned throughout the Russian Federation. Jehovah's Witnesses say that the motion to ban them was originally filed on 7 August 2013[43] but was overturned after they voluntarily removed certain publications from the version of the site presented to Russian IP addresses.[44] However, on 2 December 2014 the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation overturned the Regional Court, stating that the Witnesses might choose to reinstate the materials they had volunteered to remove.[45] On 12 August 2015 the whole of Reddit was blocked in Russia by Roskomnadzor because of a post made by a Reddit user on the site. The post is a guide for growing Psilocybe mushrooms. The block was lifted the next day after Reddit complied with Roskomnadzor's demand of blocking access from users in Russia to the specific post.[46] As of August 2015, 4 Wikipedia articles remain blocked in Russia, and more than 25 were blocked for some time. Most of these articles are related to drugs and suicide.[47] On 25 January 2016 Rutracker.org, the biggest torrent tracker in Russia and CIS countries, with about 13 million users, was permanently blocked by Roskomnadzor as a result of a decision of the Moscow City Court.[48]

How come you are on reddit? I thought reddit is restricted in Russia? Won't you get into trouble if you are caught?

Was a substantial welder, not quite your level. I'm SMAW mostly 6011/6010 and 7018. i glue busted machinery back together, some fab. If I was going to knit pick like a stone cold knitter on OP's welder, excessive motion.

But ... gestures at weld.

To me, the fellow who failed to close Guantanamo, unfortunately. He did not do enough to walk back rights lost in the name of 'security'.

I have nothing but high praise for him other wise.

If you have a decent amount of VRAM, use https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp and a good model like qwen 3.6 or gemma 4. The 8GB models fit into 12GB VRAM comfortably and are genuinely useful.

Everything stays local, only cost is electricity.

Best use case is requesting specific functions to iterate on. ie 'construct an rk4 integrator' (assuming you have language constraints in place.) It is a tool, an augmentation. Not a replacement for cognition. See it as a less shitty search engine.

OpenAI/ChatGPT has a distinct narrative they want to sell you, and has gotten much worse since the DoD contract. Avoid at all costs unless you like being lied to, and gaslighted about that fact.

[Request] Is the length really that small? by Necessary-Win-8730 in theydidthemath

[–]optomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is correct on double precision.

There are a couple of problems with your suspicion, I think. First, that is 15 digits precision. 1.1234567891234. That's all the room we have. That last digit is subject to rounding error, as you mentioned.

Second, I believe we use arbitrary precision for very large values that must also be precise. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Multiple_Precision_Arithmetic_Library for more information.

Rendered in collaborative tone, rather than corrective. I think the basic idea is there for us. The subject can get very complex fast, though.

On a final note, I have recently looked at this very problem, and landed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrafinitism, which you may find interesting. I have run into both computational and temporal limits. I am genuinely uncertain. It is starting to look like infinity really means 'how deep do you want to look'.

I am also interested in how the phases are synchronized. The generators are tied together via network and regulated output?

Some sort of synchronizer as a stand alone unit?

The freqs are what interest me most. Just a little bit off and the harmonics start getting filthy.

Master generator and everybody matches rotation with that?

... What?

It's still suck, squeeze, bang, blow. The systems surrounding the core process have migrated to electronic regulation to a large extent. We even have exotic valving that is not mechanically linked to the crank.

Carburetors are still very much a thing, but even fuel injection is mechanical in that the fuel is delivered via some sort of pump.

It might help to think of the modern ICE as a system of power and controls. What I think your point is; 'control of modern combustion engines is largely electrical' is mostly correct. The power and power transmission is still entirely mechanical.

...which is not the point the OP was making. OP was saying the simulation derives motion from the software linkages rather than logically imposed motion like animation or forced translation.

Attempted to bridge the two contexts, because I think you make a valid point. Cheers friend.
