Piezo actuators can make very fine movements. You can get positioning systems that can adjust position by nanometers, even sub-nm [1].

Also, cameras have had stabilization systems for a while now; I would assume they need similar pixel-scale precision. Some cameras shift the lens, some shift the sensor, but either way they need to shift the image-on-sensor by a very small amount, and also do it very rapidly.

Use of fire predates anatomically modern humans by some hundreds of thousands of years.

Consider the spread of lactose tolerance, a recent (no more than 10,000 years and perhaps less) mutation which has spread to 35% of humanity in that time. We have had plenty of time to co-evolve with fire, and doubtless, we have done so.

For some things, I try to buy direct. Levis for example. After getting a pair from amazon that was very clearly a factory second or straight up counterfeit, I get them from levis.com. Price is a little higher, but knowing I'm getting good product, and the variety/choice is usually pretty good on their site too. I do this for most "branded" items. Everything else is like best buy or target or home depot etc. That said, I still use amazon quite a bit. But still probably <50% of my online purchases at least. Someone with a more hardline stance or more knowledge of other replacement sites could conceivably cut them out completely. Heck Best Buy and target are so close to my house, I just shop online, and go to curbside pickup an hour later.
Okay but when Kubernetes breaks it's usually none-trivial to understand why. I've spent more time than I'd like diagnosing Kubernetes issues with networking and orchestration which could have been spent on building features.

It's a little light and snarky for my taste, but if you see it as a thin slice of "what people are talking about" more so than "what happened," then it makes sense. If you read this every day it basically hands you clever hot takes on current events you can use to sound smart with your friends. Not hard to see the appeal.

Personally, for thin-sliced news that's more about "what happened," I prefer Axios :)

2. You will be judged by your actions as a child.

3. He who wins is the one who narcs the most on their peers.

4. It is better for you acquiesce to the will of an aggrieved mob than to stand for a principle.

5. Forgiveness is not as important as supporting the current moral panic.

6. Only the most pure and most aggrieved should lead.

Not sure what are you trying to say, but no law gets anything right. That said, the current market is very one-sided where platforms abuse both sides (creators and rightsholders) while nobody can do nothing about it. So I welcome the governments trying to find balance, even if it’s not perfect.

I think the law is cutting way too far in one direction, but I believe this is the first time the market has an opportunity to work together to find some form of balance.

> Frankly we are obsessed about finding flaws in historical people.

First, you made up obsession. Second, what you call historical flaws were pretty often subject of massive criticism of contemporaries. They were pretty often not really the norm.

Third, when you praise values or behavior of back then, the bad side of it is completely fair game. Because the wins are often related, facilitaded by or directly caused the ugly side.

> I can read the code, modify it and use in my own projects.

That isn't clear. The license language can be read as requiring you to provide the source code for any software that interacts with ES (e.g., the Linux kernel that you are using to deploy ES over) under the terms of the SSPL to your own users, which you literally can't do.

Elastic claims in their FAQ that this is not the intention, and that may be enough, but it is debatable. Regardless, the SSPL is a bad license for having this ambiguity in the first place.

The way we make money is we charge % of revenue generated from the licensed content. So starting is free, using the service is free and the only time one would pay us if the platform makes money from any licensed content.

How about, the software is analogous to a floor plan. I come up with a great floor plan, and allow anyone to use it for their buildings. But I add a restriction that no one is allowed to sell buildings using this floor plan except me.

NASA does publish on much of its research. See, e.g.: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/

There are other forums in which they publish export-controlled information.

They patent things for at least two reasons. One is monetization - some in Government believe that monetization helps recoup some of the taxpayer's R&D contributions by claiming a "rightful" share of the benefits to commercial entities. I'm not saying I agree with this, just that is it a commonly held viewpoint.

Another, even in cases where the licensing is royalty-free, is for defensive purposes. It ensures a benevolent entity owns the patent and can license it for implementation in an equitable and non-discriminatory way.

Practically speaking, if you were to implement NASA-patented technology in a non-commercial context (homemade battlebot), it's extremely unlikely NASA would come after you for patent infringement.
Would you say that GNU GPL is not open source? Maybe I don't understand the nuances, but I really don't see how these licenses are not much different then a more modern GNU GPL license?
I think this is the most sensible and inclusive definition, otherwise you have a lot of situations where it's not technically OSI "Open Source" but the source is literally open.

I've seen people use "source available" (?) in these situations, but I don't think it really makes sense because a lot of the time the only thing holding it back from being OSI "Open Source" is that their license has not been recognized by OSI.
Nobody is smart enough to write bug free code, but at least some companies have the smarts to fix their code and blog about how they did it.
They did. "OSI" and "Open Source Initiative" are their trademarks. Which is why people should use these words instead. These do only have one clear meaning.

Lol, this is great to know but I live in downtown Dallas within spitting distance of AT&T world headquarters and literally the only "high speed" provider available to me is Spectrum (I can't explain why AT&T itself can't provide service to someone in walking distance of their own corporate headquarters compound - do they even provide service to themselves?). It goes out on me all the damn time. Heck, I lost service a few weeks back because someone moving into the house next door accidentally gave the wrong address when signing up for a new service account and Spectrum canceled my account, assuming I'd moved out since apparently someone else was moving into my house.

I have never been madder at a service provider of any service. But there is nothing I can do, at least not for six more months until Starlink finally goes online in my area and sends me a dish.

> "the curse of knowledge: the folks working on Async Rust tend to be experts in Async Rust. We've gotten used to the workarounds required to be productive, and we know the little tips and tricks that can get you out of a jam"

I like the format of the github Rustlings repo for exposing common beginner pitfalls and pointing developers in the right direction. For the uninitiated, Rustlings is a repo containing a collection of broken code examples that the developer has to fix along their journey to enlightenment. I feel that it would be beneficial to have an "Advanced Rustlings", say Rusteenager ;), for more advanced topics like tricky borrow checker situations and async rust. These examples would be similar to the PR's mentioned in the blog post but may get better exposure imo.
Agreed.

And because consciousness is not physical, I can't fathom where it comes from.

Like...I can grasp the idea of abiogenesis [0], the concept that organic molecules started self-replicating through chemical reactions that over millions of years started forming single-celled life that after a couple billion years turned into complex multi-cellular life and evolution has put us into the form we (and all other life) is today.

But this understanding just makes life look like nothing more than a very specific set of chemical and electrical reactions. To a naive external observer, the human brain is essentially nothing more than a highly complex electrical circuit, and yet, it is conscious.

We know what consciousness is, but it is very hard to define, because as you basically said, it is not physical. It exists, but can't be seen or even measured. You can see evidence of it by interacting with other life that appears conscious, but you can't prove it. If you could assemble a brain atom-by-atom, it could appear to be conscious, but would it? You won't know, and won't be able to know.

Even if we created "perfect" AI and put it into a "perfect" artificial body that was indistinguishable from an actual human (I'm imagining the hosts in the Westworld TV series), most people would say it wasn't conscious, but you couldn't prove it either way.

EDIT: In addition, we think about "conscious" decisions, but are your decisions truly made by consciousness? Think about how drugs will chemically affect the brain and can change behaviors. It makes me believe that free will is an illusion. Your consciousness doesn't make decisions, your physical brain does, and your brain can be altered. You're just a few million altered neurons away from an entirely different personality.

If you were on a blacklist I think companies wouldn't "waste" time interviewing you over multiple rounds, they would reject your application straight away. So keep your chin up! But if you're recovering from a mental health crisis maybe it's better to stay away from startups as they tend to be high-stress work environments, I'd try to find a more steady job at a larger company or organization with a slower pace.
Congrats on the launch Usama.

We're new to hardware development, but our hardware engineer has been using Altium 360, and I've been using Eagle for parts of the project.

Altium seems like a VERY capable tool. I don't know about it's version control, but commenting , BOMs, component library, it has all of that stuff.

We're based in Sydney, Australia, and I know Altium has an office here, so perhaps that's why we hear about Altium so much, but I'm curious what is the big differentiator between InventHub and Altium, as it seems they have the same features you list.
> for many workloads, isn't the network I/O going to outweigh the benefits of remote CPU cycles?

Yes, the README addresses this:

This is bullshit because of this article:[https://theta.eu.org/2021/03/08/async-rust-2.html]. Everyone is aware of the problems of async. What we need is solutions and not those stories to distract. We want profound changes.

Let me preface that any discussion about time travel like this is pure speculation and for fun. It's primarily layman misinterpreting high level science. Any functional time travel likely includes physics that we cannot yet comprehend.

I used to believe issues like the Earth moving would kill you. But this model of time travel envisions space as a clean 3 dimensional box in which newtonian orbs move around in. Time travel is just moving the clock, so you need to make sure to account for changes in your personal orb between times. Wormholes already have all sorts of issues reconciling different initial frames on each end, and time travel suffers from those same thought experiments.

Instead of orbs in a box, I purpose a different mental model. Modern science indicates that our 3d dimensional world may be an illusion, and space is definitely not a uniform box in which orbs move. It's likely expanding, gravity definitely changes it, and it may all be a holographic projection. In these scenarios the distance between objects and their attraction may be an result of an underlying super structure. If time travel does exist, it would likely involve these pieces. Extending this, when traveling through time you may be able to 'surf' along the waves that large objects leave in space and time. That way time travel goes from "move the clock from X to Y" and more "travel in a way outside of our normal understanding by still confined by forces." This means you could stick to your orb without too much issue when traveling through time.

The documention generator we currently use isn't scaling well with 100+ types and 800+ mutations. It makes the sidebar too unwieldy. It looks like SpectaQL has the same issue. Not sure there's a great solution while keeping to static pages.

OK, Consciousness is a subjective opinion.

Are you claiming that subjective opinions do not exist, despite your own observations of your own subjective opinons?

Also, imagine you live in a box with a yellow ball. And you can speak to other people outside your box. They tell you they also live in a box with a yellow ball.
You will never have proof that they actually have yellow balls in their boxes. And they will never have proof that you actually have a yellow ball in your box.

Would you say that yellow balls are merely a subjective opinion, and don't exist?

One thing I did come across once before is when two APIs do something similar such as parsing and provide the same name. A couple of years ago I remember I was working with an API in Go that the function Scan which was `fn(interface{}) -> Error`, which was used to decode SQL values. I pulled in another library which provided that function but in a separate context - text parsing.

The interfaces matched, the compiler accepted it, but the application blew up at runtime.
