> Assuming Amazon is as with it as ever, they won't pick it up from impound and eventually it'll get auctioned to pay the impound fees, and the registered owner will get a check for the proceeds minus impound and administrative fees, which should be a decent sized check if it's only got 400 miles, has the keys even if it's got an engine issue.

I'd let the towing guys take it for an extra 500$ (finder's fee) that they are welcome to add to the final bill since it was found on my property.
Why he doesn't he just call a towing company? Then Amazon can sort things out there with a company whose job it is to hold cars until their owners sort such things out.

Thanks. What do you think about SvelteKit? I looked at Svelte, liked it a bit and went on to explore SvelteKit to see how the API/SSR/route was handled but I couldn't get through their docs. Maybe I should find a better tutorial to evaluate it.
>I intuitively suspect, without doing any numbers, that no matter how much nitrogen and oxygen you could theoretically scrounge up, there won’t be enough gravity to make air pressure high enough to be of any use to human life.

Since mass can only increase gravity, I think that must be wrong regardless of specific numbers.

I guess the same amount of nitrogen, etc. as is in a column of atmosphere on earth would have to weigh less, but that's not a constraint. There can be more!

In support of this, here is a similar question on stackexchange:

https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/26639/how-...

In my opinion, (because it agrees with my prejudices) the best answer is not the accepted one and is at the bottom of the page (Foskey).

"It is also incorrect to say that the atmosphere could never be thick enough to breathe. Titan has a surface gravity similar to the moon, and has an atmosphere thicker than the earth's. Because the gravity is less, it takes a higher column of air to achieve that pressure, but it can be achieved."

"Part of the reason Titan has been able to retain that atmosphere over the history of the solar system is that it is much colder than the moon, and is less affected by the solar wind since it's much farther from the sun. But, again, time scales matter. I have not found a source estimating the exact timeframe for atmospheric loss, but I recall reading that it would take thousands of years or more."

Corrections on "MIDI Soundcards" (https://youtu.be/roBkg-iPrbw?t=1704):

re. "their instrument banks were effectively hard-coded", the Creative Music System was a PSG-like chip with only square waves and no sample ROM at all, the AdLib was a FM synthesizer with no ROM banks either (though some MIDI banks which sounded nothing like sample-based MIDI players like the SC-55), and the GUS had a mix of ROM and RAM (and I don't think it targeted General MIDI either). I don't see any reason why any of these chips would be incompatible with trackers, and I do know the AdLib had multiple trackers historically and today (Reality Adlib Tracker, Adlib Tracker II, ScreamTracker 3, and more recently OpenMPT), though I think "feeding MIDIs through per-game custom soundbanks" was more common in video games, and AFAIK the GUS had more MIDI-based composing tools than trackers. Note that I don't know much about the CMS and GUS, and I have more experience with how Adlib music is composed/played today than in the 1990s.

Thanks for all the information. I think my assumption was that the book would be wrong for efficiency reasons but that it would not be multiple orders of magnitude wrong and that that kind of difference would be required. I suppose in addition to efficiency improvements I may have been overestimating the required solar panel density and underestimating how palatable they are to people.

Definitely helped understand in place quicksort and need to swap pivot value.

For those still confused remember the invariants

Start with:[????????????p?????], end with:[|<=p|p|>p|]

Partition via:[p|<=p|???|>p] (pivot|less than or equal to pivot|untested values|greater than pivot).

Giving:
[|p|<=p|>p|]

pivot|less than or equal pivot|greater than.
This requires swapping pivot at end of partition step

You know, it's really remarkable the lengths you guys are going to to push this narrative. Comical, actually.

I see another comment of yours on this thread that suggests neurologists don't train to identify neurological damage that results from psychosomatic disorders.

Right. So, even the physical evidence that has been detected you write off as the result of psychosomatic damage. These people are showing up with detectable brain injuries and you're declaring here on the internet that they're psychosomatic and neurologists just aren't trained to understand it. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

It's hard to imagine mere dupes pressing the agenda this hard. But maybe you're just trolling.

Either way, I'm going to stop debating reality with you and your friend now.
This was good too. Thanks.

Trackers are underrated. In a way, I'm a bit sad that most of the time I see them mentioned, it seems to be in a historical context.

Modern production tools have mostly settled on the combination of pianoroll, automation curves, and visual placement of samples on the project timeline. That's great for some types of music, but becomes really awkward in other cases. As a basic example, making a breakbeat sequence makes pretty much no sense with the above interface, but is perfectly represented by the "series of commands" approach of a tracker. I frequently go back to Buzz for that kind of thing (and was happy to see it mentioned in the video).
I'd say that framework are like, mmm, rails. (RoR was a genius and very candid name.) They allow you move fast and safely as long as you move in the direction the creators if the framework had in mind. Their keyword is cohesion, and their drink is kool-aid.

When you need to move in a slightly or severely different direction, you're better of with a set of libraries. They allow you to build a contraption that matches your unique problem space. They require much more time and thought to achieve the first results. Their keyword is composability, and their drink is a cocktail.

At the start, or if you are a contractor, you want something really fast, so a framework is usually inevitable, unless you're overqualified.

Down the road you keep needing to move across the rails, so you slowly switch to using more libraries.

This relationship is pretty similar across different countries. Pick the current point, pick a point with a similar curve, you’ll see differences are at most 2-3x better, often much less so. Much less of an improvement than the quote 20-fold protection against severe disease (95% efficacy)

Those saying “live with it” argue for a removal of NPIs leading to even higher caseloads. If improvement per case is only 2-3x at most then if you go 2-3x past prior peaks the absolute problem is as bad.

I checked the Uk and got 2-3x depending on metric (icu 2x better, hospital and death, 3x)

Denmark is .5-2x better on these metrics from prior peak.

Germany 3x better on deaths (checking prior case peak, December 21st 2020)

Can you find a country which does not have this pattern, where they are actually 10-20x better for a given caseload?

If not, I posit the pattern holds and that this method has some use in predicting future results at a given caseload in a country at European average levels of vaccination, without boosters.

You don’t throw those design lessons away! They are still very much in use and the standard for writing the modern web.

ReactJS for the presentation layer in your case. All the above, still based on the 23 Gang of Four design patterns.

The one-line answer would be: Blitz is an additional abstraction layer on top of Next.js that offers a Rails-style set of conveniences like feature generation, plus a "compile-away" RPC abstraction that hides all data fetching. Remix is a from-scratch framework built around React Router that tries to adopt existing web APIs to minimize the amount of data-related code being written in the first place.

I really like the sound of this but I don't trust Brave. I used Brave on iPhone as soon as it came out, always in private mode so as to not save any history or open tabs. A while back, after an update, I opened the app and it immediately opened dozens and dozens of tabs, all of which I recognized as being tabs I had opened in the past. It almost seemed be opening pages back to when I first used the app. I obviously left a complaint in the reviews. The developers quickly pushed another update but never addressed how or why this was even possible.

I'm not really sure I like the term "test" for what you do in production, because ideally, tests should have well defined starting and ending states.

In a slight parallel, there's a concept of "spoiling the market" in Singapore. There's cultural pressure to not drop rent or not increase wages by "too much" as that would "spoil the market." Anecdotally, I've seen landlords here in SG keep properties vacant for long periods of time rather than drop the rent.
It's hilarious isn't it. That being said, as we all know cobbling Rails + Angular or Rails + Whatever other client side library was always a hack that just used Rails as a JSON REST pump. At that point why not just use Node/Express? And so we come full circle.
Two things (not exhaustive!) that a JSON (or any data interchange format) API can do to improve discoverability:

1. Provide OPTIONS responses for all resources, clearly and consistently documenting usage of that resource.

2. Provide relevant OpenAPI documentation for those OPTIONS requests, and an interactive UI for GET requests accepting text/html (obvious caveats aside).
Agreed, but some sites are unavoidable. For example, I recently had a website break on me that was important for me to access (hospital network website, had to check test results). This approach potentially allows me to browse the web without having a binary switch for blocked ads and traclers.
> Semantics over the name aside, you end up returning small chunks of HTML from newly defined routes that are only useful for your HTMX frontend, hence my usage of API as the interface really only makes sense to the machine and not the user without the rest of the page content.

Web2py (being phased out by py4web which I haven't tried) made that very easy. If your api is accessed as api/hello.html, it can return HTML. According to the extension, hello.json, hello.csv, hello.txt, hello.pdf, etc. can return the adequate content.

Of course you can always return JSON regardless of the extension, but I found the same endpoints serving different formats very convenient.
I'm using an ice40 FPGA to make a camera. It reads an image from an image sensor, writes it to an SDRAM, and then writes the SDRAM content to an SD card. Doing all that with a regular CPU would require lots of specialized peripherals (especially since the data rate is 1.2 Gbps -- 12 bits per pixel @ 100 MHz). An FPGA can handle all the requirements quite well.
Another quick idea is a cnc positioning stage that uses optical interfrerometry to measure distance moved. Really anything involving fast fringe counting in an interference pattern. It might be something like a new fringe for every micron of movement, so tracking something moving 1 m/s will require fringe counting at about 1 MHz, and the ADC sampling rate will need to be several times this in practice because errors are cumulative.

City of Hope Medical Center is developing the PIpepTolDC "inverse vaccine" to treat Type 1 Diabetes and other auto-immune diseases [0]. They have had two successful trials in humans. The third trial is recruiting [1].

The PIpepTolDC treatment is expensive because it is labor intensive. A technician must take some of the patient's blood, isolate their immune cells, replicate the cells, desensitize them, and then inject them back into the patient. BioNTech's treatment is a simple injection and should be inexpensive.

I had a similar reaction. I very much enjoyed reading On Intelligence shortly after it was published and was eagerly waiting for A Thousand Brains, but it left me with a conflicting impression. I found some of the details I was looking for missing and it seemed like the book was sort of all over the place (especially in the second half). I was reading another book on related topic (how the brain operates and why/how the consciousness has evolved) at about the same time (The Hidden Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness) and had a much more positive impression with a good picture on what the author was trying to convey.
