In a sense GPU programming is similar to cellular automata. Each cell is an invocation on the GPU, and you can assume that you may have unlimited number of these invocations. You can freeze cells infinitely or temporarily, but you cannot group them. You can assume you know the identifier number of each cell, and you can assume you know the number of cells for each program. The hard part is now to generalize algorithms in which only control structures are based on freezing, identifying, and counting of cells. The cells can communicate information to the neighboring cells, and to any arbitrary cell, but the latter is not good for performance.

Most universities don't really teach parallel algorithm development in any way despite the core count increasing in both CPU and GPU world.

Current languages like GLSL and CUDA are very abstracted in the sense that they don't really tell why some approach is better or worse than the other. To me, if you can create as general cellular automata -like solution, then such logic can be converted and is generally fine performance-wise for SIMD orientated programming.

I feel like the common Bank ID across the country is key here because it means if they can determine there was a theft then they can always just charge that person as long as they have a bank.

And I am guessing that it is linked to your home address and so they can also easily create criminal charges that would stick since you are positively ID'd.

The only problem would be people wandering in with no ID. But they can't since it's required to open the door.

Great points you brought up! Only have experience with the Prusa's and it's been great. I never operated the a belt bed printer.

It seems like another way to solve the problem is to stack hundreds of the steel sheets in a magazine behind an i3 styled machined. When the print is done, the Y axis goes all the way to front of the machine.

It will basically hit the steel sheet in a ramp and unload the sheet, through the front of the machine. (In a clean under actuated robotic style). Move the bed to the other extreme to reload a fresh plate. This would involve a machine with more Y axis range of motion.

If you're familiar with CNC machine tools, this would operate similar to a Brother Speedio Tool changer. Where the Z axis spindle motor actually indexes the tool changer, when Z axis is high enough to engage the tool changer.

Regardless, I'm excited to see how both style machines solve the next stage of lights out automation.
This response has put me firmly in the "you need to think about this a bit, bantunes" camp.

Why?

The second you mentioned 'boomers', you mentioned what is very specifically an American phenomenon. It certainly isn't a Chinese, Russian, Japanese, South African, or, well, the "rest of the world" phenomenon. To me, this makes me think you are viewing the world from a US perspective, without any attempt to see things from outside that prism.

On top of that, the wild assertion that "boomers" somehow created an authoritarian government is beyond incomprehensible. While every generation has its flaws, yes every single generation, boomers were the hippie generation.

Yes, hippies. The "free love" movement, anti-authoritarian counter culture that quite literally existed in highly conservative Western post-war cultures. The level of protest, anti-materialism, anti-corporate stance which hippies took, particularly in the US, far, far, far outweighs anything seen in the decades since.

Of course, like every other generation since, for thousands and thousands of years, once they aged they became just like those they wanted to replace.

But, let's walk away from the fact that boomers = hippies, and hippies protested, fought, and died in protests en mass, and even enacted some real change. Let's look at the overall assertion here.

You're claiming republics were "obvious", and that this somehow sparked an instantaneous move from feudal, to republic. Yet in many places, these changes took literally centuries. And the powers of Kings were very gradually eroded, sometimes with blood, and other times with threat of blood.

Even "revolutionary" moments in most Western cultures were smaller stepping stones, each effecting smaller sections of culture about governing, and self-governing.

And really, suffrage for the "common person", for example, is less than 100 years old in many democracies. Like the UK, Canada, the US. In fact, for many cases, less than 50 years!

And this change was gradual too. For example, in the UK with Lords challenging the King's right to tax, creating the "House of Lords", or the modern Senate. Or, the allowance of freemen with significant land, or land rental, being allowed to vote.

It wasn't until 1918 that all white men in the UK could vote, and women/everyone else at 1928.

This was a gradual, step by step change, each transformative, but each fought for.

Now ... I have no doubt change will come, for there is nothing that ever remains static.

However, what you are suggesting is that people will simply "all get along". Literally, that is what anarchism suggests. For, you cannot compel people to leave, or stop them from doing things you don't want, if you do not use violence as an end tool.

If you have a counter to this, a realistic, logical, sensible counter to the idea that people will just all be nice to one another? I'd love to hear it.

I really would.
Media baiting paper title.

What they believe they found was that lineolic acid caused liver disease:

"The degree of histopathological abnormality correlated with the linoleic acid content of fat in the diet (tallow 0.7%, lard 2.5%, corn oil 56.6%). We postulate that linoleic acid facilitates development of ALD and provides an explanation for our previous epidemiological observations."

I.e. they believe that beef fat has no protective function, it's just neutral. I only read abstract, so maybe paper has something different to say.
Async await in python and in JS work exactly the same way (except that you have to explicitly launch an event loop in python). I have developed a library that makes heavy uses of promises and async generators, and the code for the python and JS version are extremely similar. Like similar enough that an automatic translation could be done.

And yes, forget about .then and other old school stuff like that in JS. Just use async await to deal with promises.
That is simply not true and a common anti-union trope. Unions should have mandatory representation on corporate boards. Broadcom would be my first choice.

Seems like a great arrangement. I wonder if one could even use a program like that to train more "hands-on" (vs. academically oriented) high schoolers as a step towards technician careers.

Sort of like how many people who ended up in the corporate IT support/management field started out working as computer lab support techs in college, or before that, kids who worked in the high school auto shop (remember when those existed?) sometimes ended with good careers in auto manufacturing.

I always read about employers who have a hard time finding good technicians.

To be honest, learning power editors is mostly just an excuse to fiddle about at work without getting in trouble. The work's still visibly getting done and the bosses don't care if the UI keeps changing so it's a win for me.

In my experience; they DO come in handy! Some programming languages or file formats get very arsey about formatting and line endings. Sometimes you need to compare files in hexadecimal.
Sometimes you need to mass find/replace. Maybe not everyday but it's good to have these tools on demand with the know-how to operate them.

One other BIG benefit of editors like vim and emacs or even notepad++ is that they start immediately, never lag and don't gobble all the ram. It has significantly improved my coding performance now that I can just open it on a whim without having to factor in if it'll slow my system to a crawl with the other current running programs.

Letter to 20 Years Ago
We can argue about numbers all night long.
It doesn't matter if the U.S / UK is 65% white or 40% white. They're much LESS white than they used to be. That's the trend.
If you're a visible minority, you'd probably feel more comfortable in NY / Berlin / London today than you would have 50 years ago, and 40 years from now unless something unexpected happens - you'd be even more comfortable.
I wasn't aiming for a discussion about race or if "great replacement" is a thing. Only saying that for immigrants it's way better than it used to be, at least by numbers.
your 3rd point: I don't believe most Arabs think of themselves as white or are seen as white (nor do they want to be), especially if they are religious muslims, which many of them are. So the difference between them and the dominant culture still exists, even if we're talking about 3rd generation "immigrants".
your 4th point: visible minorities have a harder time. It's enough that 1% of the population is racist (it's usually way more), for them to have a sense of being discriminated against. Your colonies example is hit and miss, are French Algerians all perfectly integrated?

Sure, and that's a reasonable thing to want. That's still not what the right to repair is about, though. It's about preventing arbitrary restrictions on your rights to repair, not about forbidding practical limitations on your abilities to repair (unless of course those practical limitations were created in order to impose arbitrary restrictions on your rights).

If Apple decide to integrate the battery & screen to shorten the electrical paths to that power-hungry component, then the battery becomes effectively non-replaceable. That might annoy you, but it's not a violation of the right to repair.

On the other hand, if Apple do things to ensure that only Apple repair shops can replace the battery (eg via cryptographic signing, secret APIs, or physical keys that they prefer to call screwdrivers) then they've run afoul of the right to repair movement.

There may be times when it'd be good to mandate replaceable parts (environmental motivations come to mind), but that shouldn't be the default -- those restrictions should be applied to individual industries in narrow ways and only as needed.

The right to repair movement is pushing for something that reasonably could be the default, and we would instead make exceptions for things that shouldn't be generally repairable (eg, perhaps modifications to an odometer should be tightly controlled.)
Sure, but this idea was prompted after seeing deepfakes. What's another way to fight the insanity and further erosion of veracity on the Internet/fight deepfakes. You note and seem to agree there's an issue with it the Internet too.

Also and as I note above it isn't anything you are mandated to use... only use when you want to ensure veracity to what your saying, posting, publishing, etc.
In my opinion, I don’t think they should. The way I see it however is that if an object’s design is calculated in percentages: utility/practical/functionality should represent 80% of it, and aesthetics the remaining 20% (tngt: pareto’s law)
I don't see the argument how putting an item on a shelf with a price tag is not an offer, but IANAA. There is a specific item, marked with a specific price, able to be taken by a specific customer. This is also why sections of items get physically covered eg sale displays before the sale starts, alcohol on sundays, "non essential" items during covid shutdowns.

> Even if putting an item on a shelf with a price tag is an offer, rather than an invitation to treat, I believe I've seen at least one case that said that picking up the item isn't enough to accept--the offer is accepted and the contract formed when you actually pay. So even then consuming the item before paying would be theft.

Picking up the item clearly isn't enough to accept an offer, otherwise the store could insist that you pay instead of being able to put it back! That's actually why I said to consume the item, as it's an action indicating explicit acceptance. If the intent is to eventually complete your end of the contract, then it's not theft.

This seems to be the standard platform playbook.

No. Spend more of that money on lobbying, to get funding for the military, dhs, nsa, etc cut. For added bonus morality points, spend even more money providing aid or employment training for those who lose jobs in the process.

Do not get super clever to pay less taxes, leave those who cannot avail themselves to such methods to pay more (or the government to go further into debt), and call that morality. Don't kid us, and don't kid yourself.
