I guess you're lucky they didn't return a page about Robert Bork where the surname was repeated two times.
If I hadn't seen an Animats comment here, I would have copy pasted it from your history just to beat you to it.

I checked out of curiosity -- you've got at least 35 posts that directly reference Continental and their Flash LIDAR based on tech from ASC that they're going to build in volume eventually. It's a valid analysis, but why post it every time LIDAR is referenced?
Don't they just replace the whole bud as part of "battery service"? Basically $138 for the pair + 7 shipping. Or do they give you refurbs?

Shame Samsung Buds sound quality isn't high based on all the reviews... because it has easy to replace coin battery.
Burglary is breaking and entering with intent to commit a crime. There is nothing specific about theft or the presence of the victim in burglary.

Fossil fuels are safe. They kill people, but they kill a fairly low and most of all predictable number of people. Theyre dangerous for a coal miner, but not for a country.

Nuclear power is generally pretty harmless. But when it fails, it has the potential to kill millions and render large parts of the country uninhabitable. That is danger.

I still think we should have gotten rid of coal before nuclear. But long-term, nuclear is not an acceptable power source.

I would say that this needs to change on a broader scale within the software development community than just with Facebook.
The Arch Linux PKGBUILD (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=kicad...) doesn't look too complex, you could try building from source. Neither `opencascade` or `ngspice` look like they're packaged for Alpine, so you'd have to build those from source first. I don't know how complex that would be. Off the top of my head the rest of the dependencies are already in the alpine package repos. Building from source isn't as hard as it's reputation. Most of the time it's just a `autoconf -i && ./configure && make && sudo make install` tbh. Just do a cursory read of the README, and `./configure --help` first.

I'm living in a community where gold is the currency of choice, and I convince a bunch of people in my community to deposit gold pieces with me. I have a huge pile of gold.

Whenever somebody asks me to give them back their gold, I reach into the pile and hand them pieces equal to the amount they deposited, but not necessarily the same pieces.

But this happens infrequently enough that most of the time, the pile just sits there. So I decide to only keep half the pile sitting there -- more than enough to cover the rate at which my customers make withdrawals -- and loan out the rest to borrowers I deem credible. I charge interest to make up for the losses I take on bad borrowers and actually make enough profit on this interest to keep some and pay some out to account-holders.

I would say I am 1. conducting fractional reserve banking, with a 50% reserve ratio, and 2. not creating a new currency (everybody still transacts in gold pieces).

Are you saying that this is NOT fractional reserve banking, or that it IS creating a new currency?

That's really nice. I did something very similar a few years ago:

My version shows a simpler scene (a single tumbling cube) and also works with random-dot rendering, but also supports rendering with a tiled image (I found that tiled images work better for static 3d scenes while random-dot works better for animated scenes).

Why companies are still using engineers from China to work on trade secrets is beyond me. Even if they start off clean, they can be easily persuaded to steal by the Chinese companies or government.

I can confirm that it was still a thing in the '80's.

But of course the times have changed.

The huge thing about this was that for most young people at the time the 18 years birthday meant a lot, in most EU countries that was (is) a "threshold" you become to all effects an adult and getting an Eurail ticket was the first "totally independent" travel experience without the family, and you got for an all in all affordable to everyone amount of money "freedom", you met a lot of other young people doing the same, you could try to start a conversations with someone (a "peer") in (actually usually much improvised) other language, you could visit places you had only read about in books, etc.

It was a great experience.
This is such a great idea!! Awesome work!!
This seemed obvious to me, in that I can't see why you would want to use Cloudflare as your Registrar if you weren't using their DNS services. I've always switched my DNS services over to Cloudflare as soon as I've bought a domain, so for me I like having the easy integration of Cloudflare managing the domain and the DNS records.
That would make sense if the bad search results were limited to searches that have few results. But Google's results are suboptimal for all searches.

It's also such a disingenuous name – "modern" monetary theory. To the layman, it automatically reads like a new and improved understanding of Economics, when in reality it's just another theory, and not even a very mainstream one at that.

For years I'd comment code using links to reference material, like the API documentation for an API call being made. It was very handy. Links to Microsoft online documentation, however, tended to go stale very quickly. And it didn't just go stale, it would disappear (google could no longer find it). A lot of COM/ActiveX documentation has disappeared. I don't understand why Microsoft does this.

If you want to stretch out your contribution to your next purchase, part out your old hardware.

I earned a lot more parting out my old MacBook Airs than I would selling them as a full unit with well-worn charger and battery.

Learned a lot too about the internals.

And I sold every component. Even the screws.
I guarantee you, you'd have a group of fans with the know how to do it. And they would do it for free.

The problem is they'd devolve into various camps bickering about the "right" way to do it, creating their own mini standards bodies, and forming a massive internal bureaucracy of tribalism.

It seems the more passionate a group of people is about something, the more convinced they are that they know the right way to do things.
Premium for a color picker, hell no!

Always wanted to try this with my ray tracer. Some thoughts:

1) Higher frame rate will probably help - it will look even more like old TV snow wrapped around things.

2) Color per object should be possible but it will bleed. This may or may not help the effect.

3) Possibly change the dot size based on distance (some dots are seen at two different distances, so average them? This would be similar to how color might be done. Advantage would be that the snow would be more like a texture that gets smaller further away.

4) I'm not sure about the notion of "base image" I always assumed a method of rendering that may not be what others do.
The batteries in the Model 3 are not in fact off-the-shelf Panasonic batteries.

Tesla has the largest single battery factory, but they seem to be second behind CATL in the latest annualized production rates.

CATL shipped 7.3GWh in 2018-Q2, I can’t find Q3 numbers but I did find one site saying “monthly installed battery capacity with 1.47GWh, 2.45GWh, 2.49GWh and 3.4GWh produced respectively from August to November in 2018.” But these are not just EV batteries.

For EV batteries specifically, Tesla produces more than 50% of global supply.

Assume someone with a biology PhD explained to you that the sky was actually purple because of a hidden extra cone your eye possesses that was perceiving light that your brain was canceling out. This somehow sounds plausible, and it's impossible for non biologist me to disprove but at the end of the day I can look up at the sky and say"no, I'm confident it's blue".

This is MMT. MMT says: "government debt isn't really debt and acquiring massive amounts of it that can never be payed off wont ever have consequences because of x, y, and z mental gymnastics".

You don't need a PhD in economics or to be able to disprove everyone one of the Arcane mental gymnastics performed to understand that "government debts are real and they can have consequences". You don't need any special economic training to understand that if you owe someone money, then next month you have a bit less money because you have a debt payment. There are a million caveats, and fifty people with 10$ words that you can't argue because you don't know what they mean because they don't mean anything will explain to you why you are the dumbest person on the planet for believing that "government debts are real and they can have consequences".

It's ok though because you can look up at the sky and know what color it is.

(don't take the sky example too literally, i know it doesn't really make sense).
Same thing as when someone walks in with no cash or card and walks out with $20 worth of product, probably.
Some of this may be impact from Proposition 47 in 2014. Law enforcement officers have told me that they're no longer motivated to follow up on minor crimes because the criminals are no longer prosecuted. (I don't know whether their perceptions are accurate or not, it's just anecdotal reports.)

Do you know what a "fact" is? Because this isn't one.
You can be as abstract or concrete as you want. For example you can embed set theory inside a category (see Lawvere, Rosebrugh: Sets for Mathematics or https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/ETCS). The main thing is that your subject under study has a monoidal structure (basically operations that compose associatively and have units).

In SF at least, violent crime - including gun violence - is way down. With the lowest rates in 50 years.

It's crazy how bad car break-ins are though. If you park outside overnight, it's not exactly surprising to wake up to a smashed window. Even if you don't have anything in the car to steal.
Fair enough. It's mostly the coastal corridor that's good with a couple on inland spurs from NY/New Haven up to St. Albans and Montreal that aren't terrible. But otherwise, there's something of a gap between commuter rail systems (which are pretty hub and spoke in any case) and what Amtrak covers.
"Wealthy" is a different goalpost than "doing art/music for money".

But even then, artisans in antiquity definitely reached middle classes. (And it's plausible to assume that at least a few individuals were wealthier or converted their artisanship into a bigger merchant operation.)
My first instinct when I saw these was that if they'd been invented first, I'd have held out until they invented a wired version. Simpler, cheaper, harder to lose, more reliable.
>Music is extremely sensitive for timings, but when it comes to visuals you seem to adapt quickly and tolerate lag up to 1/10s, how is that?

Our visual systems are not optimized to give accurate, realtime representation of geometry around us. They evolved to give us a somewhat abstract representation that is most useful.

There is a lot of post-processing involved between photons hitting your eye and your brain "seeing" things. In that post-processing, both geometry and time information are "corrected".

The most striking example of this is saccadic masking[1]. Basically, your eyeballs move all the time, but you will never see that when you are looking at yourself in the mirror. However, look at your eyeballs on your selfie camera, and ta-dah! They move!

That's because your eyes essentially block your visual processing pipeline while the eye is moving, and then backfill the missing frames.

That's why if you move your eyes around rapidly while looking at an analog clock, you will perceive some seconds to last longer than others. The eyes are lying about how long things take.

>Our human image processing only runs at around 30-60 FPS when idle, but can increase in stressful situations

In general, our vision doesn't really have a "frame rate", and depending on how you define that concept, our "frame rate" goes well into the hundreds of FPS[0].

But something like what you said is happening. Visual perception of things gets on-the-fly adjustments as necessary.

For example, baseball players see balls as being larger than you would see the same ball while being stationary at the same distance[2].

That's why, yes, we can get away with a lot of visual trickery, taking advantage of the visual post-processing pipeline (monitors giving the illusion of smooth motion is one example).

However, this all doesn't mean we won't feel latency when it's there.

As a good example, compare drawing a line with a pencil vs. drawing a line on a touchscreen device with a stylus. You will notice even the smallest latency. In fact, there is no device on the market where something simple as drawing a line following a stylus would happen fast enough for you to be fooled.

As long as there is any visible distance between the tip of the stylus and the end of the line appearing on the screen, you will see it (or feel it), even if takes a very small time to fill that gap.

Same with scroll latency: it's something you will not be able to see on a video recording of someone scrolling on a touchscreen, but you will absolutely feel the difference when you do it.

And all that said, our aural perception is more sensitive to timing, and we also do Fourier transforms on the fly with our ears (that's how we can tell chords apart!), amonf other things.

Our perception is an interesting thing.

I honestly don't understand why some people believe this. I dont think about my whole life history every day (and even less from moment to moment).

I also dont have perfect recall but even if I did, at any one moment I am only referencing memories from the same amount of past moments (or at most slightly more).

I really wonder how much more differently than me do you process everything, think, and perceive for this to ring true rather than a pretty but obviously false story.

This effort is effectively the revival of half of Gallium. At the end Gallium was a combination of two debugging techniques — it was both a "native" gdb/lldb-style compiled debugger as well as an interpreter. The native debugging was fast but indeed challenging and rather limited — most Julia code gets optimized away when it gets compiled leaving you with a rather unhelpful stack frame that's challenging to line back up with your original code. So there was also a rudimentary interpreter (the ancestor of this interpreter) for other cases.

Also... if you think about the information generated by Elite's procedural functions as raw information, then, by going in reverse, you can think about Elite's procedural functions as a very specific DATA COMPRESSION ALGORITHM... which only works on Elite's data. From this, one could speculate that for any given set of data, there should be an algorithm for which that data could be generated procedurally. That is, the best data compression for any given set of data, if it could be found, might be in the form of an ALGORITHM, a CUSTOM ALGORITHM (as Elite's is) for a specific set of data, and that there might be AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF THESE ALGORITHMS... but how to find them? That is the question...

Only piston-engined aircraft use leaded gas. That rules out almost 100% of commercial passenger and military aviation.

Unlikely that there's enough of this type of exposure to be a real factor. Even this study finds that it affects children living within 500m of a civilian airport and that the level of lead detected was "not especially large."

There may be an argument for phasing out leaded avgas, as no amount of lead exposure is good, but it's not likely to have an impact on overall violence in an area, even assuming that lead has anything to do with that in the first place.
