Parent comment probably meant "colorimeter" which will measure colors in either spectral distribution or XYZ color space.

So you could say something like RAL color # 123 +- 5% in XYZ space. Or you can just specify: That color needs to be closer to RAL #123 than to any other RAL number, so then you'd also have an implicit definition of the valid color range.
Exactly, it is more the transition that is impossible rather than the end state. You can't tell people to give up international travel, visiting family members, eating non-local foods, air conditioning, and the overwhelming majority of society's leisure activities and replace it all with gardening. Maybe that is a desirable end result that would be healthier for both humanity and the planet, but there is no way to get there voluntarily. That is just asking people to give up too much.

The language tends to be more powerful and make more sense (specifically than the craziness of ORMs, not vs. query builders that often at least try to have reasonable semantics), and despite most of my friends who love ORMs seemingly having to keep re-learning how to use a database every few years due to whatever platform fad everyone is rabid about (both due to shifting frameworks and libraries), my knowledge of SQL has managed to just get stronger over the past quarter century of my using SQL. The mental model you get from actually specifying the query you want is also, I will claim, really important: I believe it helps you decide on what the correct API even is to access your data, such that when you later attempt to add abstractions or move the bits around to different machines/locations, it becomes easier to manage.

I'll make a second (though I do believe "weaker" point): you are frankly likely to want to port your entire project at some point to some new framework / language, and if most of your system's behavior is just gluing SQL statements together with input models, that's going to be super easy. (The counter-argument, meanwhile, always feels really lame to me: "you might want to change your database at some point". Not only do people effectively never do that, but somehow even projects that use ORMs almost never achieve true database agnosticism either. Meanwhile, such a change is something that seems to come up a lot less often than "the awkward framework I'm using is now considered deprecated", in the grand scheme of things that are almost no database solutions that have ever mattered anyway, and the differences between them are sufficiently small vs. the differences between ORM framework concepts that porting has never felt like that big of a deal, unless you are literally going all-in on some database-specific component in which case there was likely a reason you were doing that and the ORM likely wasn't going to be useful anyway.)
I tried too but the button is grayed out :(
The way it works for me (I can't visualize like that), it's like I am writing a story. I can say I see a tiger, then think about it and write down more details but I am always consciously adding stuff to the tiger. If I want details about number of stripes, I need to think about it and then "write" it. Never do I see something I am not consciously forming.

Well, I did have a strange experience couple of nights ago. I was falling asleep and I saw something similar to a "movie" in my vision. It was a highly sped up simulator game I played, but it was quite vivid for me.
Spot on! Both of those were motivating factors when building Weaviate (Open Source Vector Search Engine). We really wanted it to feel like a full database or search engine. You should be able to do anything you would do with Elasticsearch, etc. There should be no waiting time between creating an object and searching. Incremental Updates and Deletes supported, etc.

On your second point about efficient filtering, check out this article I wrote outlining how filtered vector search works in Weaviate: https://towardsdatascience.com/effects-of-filtered-hnsw-sear...

> The major version should represent major language changes, not whether its a breaking change or not

Why?

Old code still work and unless you are purposefully maintaining an old system you are expected to use the last version anyway. What does it actually change that generics were introduced in version 1.18 rather than 2.0? From now on, Go has generics. As there is no breaking change, it’s not like you had to keep using the previous version to opt out.

Yeah good luck with anything other than e-mail though, if you want SMS notifications you have to go through setting them up through a layer of indirection through AWS SNS messaging.

And it'd be nice to just have a $100/month killswitch on my personal AWS account and I have no idea how possible that is with their actions (which seems to require configuring IAM accounts). I don't run anything "production" there and I'd be happy to have all my shit suspended if that dollar figure was exceeded, but fuck if I know how to do that without taking a week to catch up on the past decade of how to manage infrastructure with AWS.

It may be simpler to just suspend my AWS account entirely. I think I only have some ancientsauce mysql backups on S3 which are costing me a few pennies a month.

The only obvious explaination is that it detected a "car" in the opposing lane.

Given what went on, it's in the direction of what would generally be the opposing lane.

It seems that the large mass of light haired Moose reflected enough of the Telsa's own light back at it to make it think it was a car approaching from far away.

It wasn't a car far away with lots of light, it was a moose, close, with little light.

Both appear to the Tesla as the same thing.

This happens ALL the time with UFO's. It's a problem with the human eye, light and distance are indeterminate. It could be either way around, close and dim, far and bright.

Seems better integration of light vs radar is needed.
>That's simply not true.

"Strictly speaking, the things can boot off of DFU (USB device mode) too, but to make that useful for regular boot you need to ask Apple, as currently you cannot boot a normal OS like that as far as I know, only their signed restore bundles (which is how you fix an M1 Mac if you wipe the SSD)."

It’s just business
It kind of looks as though the moose reflects enough light back to Tesla's cameras to make it think another vehicle is oncoming so it switches off the beams. Then turns them back on when the "vehicle" (aka moose) disappears.

> our sensation of "hearing" may involve parts of the body ouside the ear.

It's definitely possible to tell the difference between the quality of audio from a shitty subwoofer ($50) vs something that costs $200... Not so much audio as perceived by eardrum but perceptible vibration felt by the body. The cheap one also is likely to rattle its own chassis and feet and vibrate on whatever floor you've placed it on.
What the "something like" is exactly and where it came from is kind of my question.
Pricing error at CoinMarketCap (BTC $788B)
LOL this remind me of Anandtech comments ( and majority of internet comments )in 2015 / 2016, "HDD will be dead by 2020". They were still repeating the same thing in 2018 / 2019. And we are now closing to 2022, and it is far from dead if not growing. ( I still dont understand why most people cant read roadmaps )

WD develops both NAND ( via SanDisk / Toshiba ) and HDD. They know the roadmap of both HDD and NAND. There is nothing on the current NAND roadmap which suggest we get another significant cost reduction. As much as I want to see 2TB SSD below $99. I would be surprised if we could even get to that point by 2024. Today a portable 5TB HDD cost $129, ( or $109 with discount )

This is similar to DRAM, we might get faster, higher efficiency DRAM. But we are not getting any cheaper DRAM. The price of DRAM / GB in the past 10 years has had the same price floor.

HDD is in similar case, it is near the end of the S curve.
> I can think of very little reason that valve command mappings on a human-rated rocket were not adequately tested

The procedure and checks were probably repeated multiple times during earlier preparations with no issues. God only knows how many potentially critical problems exist in every system on a code path never taken, or with a component that's never used. It's one thing to test everything for the design of the system and call it complete, and another to test everything for operations. Human error caused an operational misconfiguration on a system that was otherwise validated.

Think of aviation where the entire plane design and the technology used are fully tested and known to meet all the requirements. But every time you operate that plane you have a shorter pre-flight check to confirm operational worthiness. Some things that can cause a disaster won't be covered, and some items on the the checklist will be mistakenly marked as OK, which may or may not cause a problem.

I'm not saying it's normal just that statistically speaking at some point you'll miss something for one reason or another, and eventually the proper conditions will be met for a disastrous outcome. Might as ell be a valve control check.
Quite difficult to debug as system is unresponsive when it happens, so would have to delve into logs. Maybe a Chrome memory management or graphics acceleration issue, I don't use many extensions but it's possible I guess. 12GB of RAM, but that can get eaten up by Chrome pretty easily.
Go has generics in that commit.
1.18 Beta is out today with Generics
People downvote it, but it's true. 2/3 of your Go code is `if err` blocks. And the way you have to chain the error messages to make the stack make any kind of sense is just maddening.
Nice so I actually do know SQL somewhat and use it extensively at work. I have started using other options in my side projects and found it to be more streamlined. Just curious where ORMs fail really.
> because eventually you have to do...

Emphasis on eventually instead of at every single function call.

Other cars have high-beam assist too, are they better? Don't know. My old car doesn't do that.
Touchpads get in the way of using the keyboard reliably, which is your primary source of input.

They also provide inputs that are themselves unreliable and inaccurate. You're better off controlling the cursor with a trackpoint which also means you don't need to move your hands off the keyboard.

COVID is about 10x more lethal than flu across all age ranges, so if this is 29% lower than the original strain, it's still 7x more deadly than flu.
Ha yup this is my suspicion. I posted the same exact time the same theory lol. Seems like it behaves normally. I would expect Tesla to not want to look for cars first then turn the brights off, but error on the side of anything resembling oncoming traffic triggering low-beams.

Presumably it thought it was a person or vehicle so it dipped to avoid dazzling.

Not what you'd want in this exact case if you were making an intelligent decision, but not really 'strange' is it?

Also high-beam assist isn't any kind of unusual Tesla feature - it's pretty standard on all new cars.
This is covered by the Wikipedia articles others have linked, but briefly: Richard Nixon (US President from 1969-1974) was forced to resign by the revelation that he had paid for criminals to break into the Democratic Party's campaign headquarters in the Watergate Hotel. The entire affair became known as Watergate.

Later, one of Nixon's former speechwriters, William Safire, propagated the use of -gate as a generic suffix for any type of scandal, notably including very minor ones. It's likely that part of why he did this was to retrospectively diminish the perceived seriousness of the Watergate scandal.
Humans might indeed cause one or more large extinction events, but there are also several known causes (and perhaps many more unknown ones we could discover) of large extinction events which seem to be unpreventable except through the actions of humans (or another intelligent and technological species). If you were to permanently halt all technological progress now, or perhaps revert to before nuclear weapons or even before the industrial revolution, you could prevent extinction events from, say, human-caused climate change, nuclear war, or Skynet. But you'd also effectively guarantee some other eventual extinction event, perhaps from an asteroid impact, a supernova, or any number of phenomena we haven't even discovered yet.

Would be great to have a timeline with "AP reported that 1) ..." with a list of say five facts and then "these 274 sites reported the same facts within the same 24h" or something similar with another early source identified. You could then add data like "Twitter user $USERNAME reported that ..." earlier in the timeline, or what have you.

I guess if it got popular you'd get news/syndication sites doctoring their publication times to always appear first on the timeline.

Would be useful to look at something like a timeline of political events spanning a decade, or a topic like the JET (Joint European Torus project) with all the stories that made mainstream news.

You could add mashups like what the main entertainment news was, or what the other main stories were, or stock tickers, alongside the news timelines.

I guess focus and where to prune the branching news stories will be hard.

The UK PM's handlers are constantly using the technique of burying 'boring' news by having him do something really stupid that is expected to fill news cycles for a few days. Their manipulation of the media has been masterful pulling in all the learning from the USA; I digress. The point being it would be interesting to plot a timeline of apparent buffoonery, or short-lived outrage stories, and the actually important also-ran news stories that the buffoonery was there to hide.

I’d kill for union types as well.

… and pattern matching. Maybe just some extensions for `switch`.

… and one of the `try` proposals.

That having been said… I do appreciate that Go has gotten where it is today by being radically simple, and that a lot of extreme care needs to be done to add new features to the language. It’s hard to draw a firm line in the sand. I feel like all of these features would work great together, though; it’d enable Go to do something like `Result` in Rust with few language-level changes.

I even remain somewhat skeptical about generics, but I am hopeful.
Craazzyyyyy - ty!
The Rust Result type has:

- map / map_err
- and_then / or_else
- unwrap / unwrap_or

And countless of other functions making it very practical to chain computations without having to pattern match anything.

I do the same in Erlang/Elixir.

In Golang, I need to check every function call, and if I want to know where an error come from, I need to wrap it in an errors.New() because no exceptions = no stacktrace

No it’s not. Contagion spread is logarithmic, and has obvious upper bounds. E.g. about a third of the us has gotten Covid. 5x contagious does not give you 166% of the population infected. Nor does it give you 100%. Probably not even 90%. I would bet no more than 50% over the next year.

Half as deadly on the other hand is a big deal. It’s not just deaths, it’s also hospitalizations. If you imagine the bell curve of outcomes, the deaths are the small tail on the right and the hospitalizations are the fatter bit on the right. If you get to move everything to the left a bit, you remove the biggest chunk of the population from getting hospitalized in the first place.

> be able to apply some real intelligence to SQL definitions.

That sounds interesting, could you elaborate on what that looks like? Are you thinking things like generating ORM code off just the SQL, or doing merges of schema changes in Git, or what?

Something that I would like to see would be an Excel-like app like pgadmin or phpmyadmin that lets you modify the schema, generate migrations as you perform these modifications, and save those migrations in a folder tracked in your source code repo.
Haskell is neat, and is one of those things I'll regularly come back to play with in my spare time. A lot of the ideas behind it have made me a better programmer. Rust I've never touched, though it looks interesting. But:

- In my daily work, the work that pays my bills, I regularly use software built in Rust, eg ripgrep.

- About the only time I ever cross paths with Haskell is in those times when I'm going out of my way to do so as part of my tech hobbying.

I think that's an important difference
