No, state machines aren't state factories.

State factories are the generators for state pattern.

State machines are constraint systems which govern which states are allowed to transition to one another.

The use case for a visual editor is that as state machines get over a certain complexity (for me, usually around 15 states,) they start getting hard to reason about. Being able to see them helps.

Consider the case of a state machine representing some object's flow through a manufacturing process. There are three lines: one for main process, one for defect repair, and one for pull testing.

Each line has a set of steps going in both directions: one for progress and the other for Toyota Method style step-audits, going in reverse.

It turns out you forgot one of the steps in the defect repair process, near the middle.

If you're looking at this in code, it's down to reading all the text, looking for exceptions, differences, really working it over

Good question. Would be great if money was spent on stuff like that. From what I can see donations are paying for nothing but the comfortable administrative jobs at their foundation.

From cheap economobiles to six figure luxury cars, I've yet to see an infotainment system that works better than CarPlay.

The last bastion for factory infotainment systems is that CarPlay/Android Auto doesn't integrate with factory HUD or instrument panel displays (whether the instrument panel is a big LCD itself, or a small one nestled between the gauges). But I hear even this is changing in some recent models. Once that revolution is finished, then I don't see why I'd ever use the factory infotainment software ever again instead of just CarPlay.

I tried downloading about 200GB of data off of my university drive last night. Took a good hour or two of "zipping" on the drive site, then... hundreds of separate zips ended up dumped on my browser at some point later. And those downloads mostly failed. So now I'm taking a look at rclone to move data off of my drive, maybe slowly, through my raspberry pi.

All crypto uses that I hear about regularly seem to contradict that:

1. Chinese people using Bitcoin to move money outside of China, thereby bypassing government regulations.

2. People building private marketplaces (even if it isn't drugs), thereby avoiding paying taxes.

3. People doing blackmail and extortion directly and using crypto to try to avoid having the money tracked back to them.

4. People stealing electricity and then laundering that stolen energy by converting it into crypto which is then sold for money.

Really, name me any big crypto-based operation that actually pays sales taxes in all regions in which they operate.
They waterless separating toilets discussed by the article literally are composting toilets. The difference is they're proposing using the diverted urine to replace more energy-intensive commercial fertiliser production, rather than treating it as the less useful waste byproduct for people's gardens.

(That and they're acknowledging that people who haven't chosen composting toilets tend not to like them, because the separating takes some getting used to and if you don't separate urine from faeces the decomposition is much slower and smellier)
No tribe wants to be left alone.

Sure, one tribe wants to live free of societal consequences, but they still want to participate in society.

Else every serious libertarian would actually go live alone and grow their own food. That doesn't happen. In reality, they go buy groceries alongside everyone else.
It has been in a nose dive for "everyday" people. But there is a whole section of society where they are treated as minor celebrities. The number of those people are shrinking (thankfully) but they are sizable enough for some journalists to break out and make bank through their substacks e.g. Bari Weiss is bringing in 800,000K a year via substack.

You can also detect Z state by driving the input high, reading, then driving the input low, reading. If both reads are different, then you have a Z state. Otherwise, the input is the read state.

Of course, drive the input through a resistor.

This is a pretty good (and free) textbook: https://otexts.com/fpp2/

To elaborate on my point above, you can definitely get some results quickly without understanding how it all works, but even a small bit of knowledge about whatever method you're using can help dramatically when you're trying to debug things.

Sigh.

Why does every discussion about overpopulation immediately devolve to food supply? I get that seems like the obvious thing to talk about, but the real world of supply chains and materials is far more complex than "food". It guaranteed that we can industrially produce far above our current population levels and we'll totally screw up the planet. How do I know?

Because of global warming and mass extinctions.

What overpopulation discussions miss and devolve to also is that it isn't important on the number of people, it is the RESOURCE RATE PER PERSON combined with POPULATION that produces the "are we sustainable".

What doesn't scare me is China and India's population. It's China and India's rapid climb to US-level lifestyles and per capita resource consumption rates.

Here's the most important thing we are not conserving/shows we are overextended:

1) natural habitat destruction

2) everything else (water, metals, food, clean air)

I'm not just talking about the Amazon. The amount of space needed for HUMANS isn't important. The amount of space needed by NATURE very very very much is.

We drain all the swamps. We clear all the forest. We farm all the plains. We trawl the oceans.

This is the most stinging indictment of modern economics: what is the economic cost of destroying a natural habitat? It's not zero, in fact every single economic study will likely point out "well we could exploit this forest for human purposes and gain tax and GDP out of it".

That single failure, a TOTAL inability to quantify the economic value of a natural habitat in terms of sustaining the ecosystems, food webs, species proliferation/redundancy, production of oxygen/removal of CO2 isn't just going to kill us as a species, that's just garden variety extinction. It might kill the entire ecosystem and everything but single celled organisms.

Our developmental economics should STRONGLY prefer cities. A high rise apartment building should be far cheaper, so a 3000 sq ft apartment should be 1/3 the cost of a suburban 3000 sq ft house.
Running a CT scan on every kid suffering from ear pain is a bad idea, not only economically, but from the negative effects of radiation exposure to so many kids.

I know in your head the scenario was "were it not for that one person, my kid would've died", but the more likely scenario was, "the symptoms got worse and then a doctor decided it was enough to warrant another look and the tumor was detected, surgery was performed, and my son was ok". It was wonderful that it was caught when it was, but odds are very high your son would've still been ok even if it had been caught over the next several weeks.

Also, I'm very relieved to hear your son is ok, as a father of a 13 year old son, you lived through a nightmare!

> forgettable songs, forgettable characters, forgettable story

Strong disagree on all three. IMO this group of songs are some of the most memorable Disney animation tunes since Frozen, and maybe even since the mid-90s— don't ask me, look at how they're exploding all over Tiktok right now. For characters, I felt the movie does a pretty decent job of giving depth and personality to most members of a really large ensemble cast, particularly those closest to Mirabel. And even those with a lighter presence (Dolores, Camilo) still get their little moments that endeared them to me.

And as to the story, it's unique within the Disney canon in a number of ways; chief among them is that it doesn't have a conventional villain. Yes there is a character who is the "main" problem, but the real antagonist is the family dynamics and the grandmother's trauma. These are issues that are super relatable for a lot of people/families, much moreso than the over-the-topness of a clearly antagonistic and unredeemable character like Mother Gothel (Tangled) or Prince Hans (Frozen). The comparison is even more stark if you go back further to classic villains like Scar, Gaston, or Ursula.

The value is there if you play with friends. So, definitely not for everybody, but then again nothing is.

As a teenager, we definitely got $50 of enjoyment per year out of the 16-bit editions. Even back in the 90s it was actually a pretty affordable form of entertainment if you got a few dozen fun gaming sessions out of it with your buddies. There weren't a lot of other ways to spend $50 and be entertained for months.

Same with Capcom's hilariously incremental updates to Street Fighter II. We honestly did get full value from them. If you're putting dozens of hours into a game those incremental updates are super valueable.

These days, of course, I have nobody to play with.

So these games wouldn't be worth $6 to me today, let alone $60. =(
TikTok should be banned in the US. China banned all of our homegrown social networks, its pretty standard international precedent to ban theirs, given the security risks.
> a status that comes with strangers knowing who you are, what you wrote, what your core ideas are.

Part of the problem in journalism is that someone motivated to share their core ideas should be an author, not a journalist. These are different jobs.
Basically anything with significant real-time requirements or high bandwidth requires an external FPGA or microcontroller.

Embedded Linux is great, but if you’re trying to do something like read from a high-speed ADC then the only way to do it is with an FPGA. The FPGA reads from the ADC at precise intervals and buffers the data. The embedded Linux system can then periodically read the buffer with all of the jitter and latencies that come with using Linux.

Virtually every Linux-based software defined radio, oscilloscope, and logic analyzer work on this architecture. For lower speeds you can get away with a microcontroller running bare metal code to do the buffering, but the high speed stuff enters the domain of FPGAs.
A growing population who needs surgery and psychiatric care is a problem, yes.

Increasing acceptance hasn't done anything positive for their depression rates, drug use rates, suicide rates, either.

So yeah. I don't see this population growing as a good thing for anyone.

Im not advocating eradication of them or anything negative.

But I do think when we have kids who trend towards narcissistic personality disorder, that the web exacerbates ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4301205/)

And a population that trends autistic (https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/11/the-link-...)

That porn culture and identity politics culture sucking them up in a vacuum isn't a positive thing.

This isn't something we want to encourage to grow.

Incel culture is largely men growing up on porn mad at their inadequacy in obtaining women.

Trans culture, at least in part and mostly why it's slanted so far MtF is because autism affects men more than women and they internalized the porn differently in that they'd just tther be the women seen in the porn.

Trans and Incel culture are two sides of the same coin Imho.

Why do you think trans people call people bigots for not wanting to sleep with them.?

Who's thst sound like? Oh yeah.. Incels. Who thinks they're owed sex.

Its a political divide of the same base problems.

> Debugging Safari issues on Linux or Windows machines make it easy to grow a disliking for the browser.

Hell it's not just debugging Safari issues themselves... the Developer Tools are no match for Chrome's.

It's really noticeable that Google invested (and still invests) a lot of money on them... because developers will prefer to work in an environment that makes development easy. I personally shifted to Chrome many years ago for that reason - Firebug was an insane resource hog, not to mention slow as molasses, and Chrome was a breeze to work with in comparison for years.
You aren’t committing yourself to a lifetime of medication. You can stop whenever you want.

Honestly, you should be having all of these conversations with your therapist without thinking you’re smarter than it all. ADHD is a journey of discovery that you can’t pontificate about without maintaining a relationship with someone qualified to help you out.

Just ask yourself: who has what incentives?

A state actor always desires insight into an adversary. The survival of nations depends on being able to either cooperate with others or subdue those who will not. The result of a state's strategy in these arenas is predominantly determined by their ability to predict the counterpart's behaviors, both at a citizen and leadership level.

Why TikTok is not seen as the ultimate embodiment of these incentives and immediately banned from the US is beyond me.
It's the first public beta release, after a huge amount of open source work. Hopefully they'll support Safari soon.

If you're a VS Code user, it's also available as a VS Code plugin, which seems more advanced and useful than the browser app is currently anyway. It has bi-directional editing, which looks very useful.
>I don't think "the right" is nearly as much of a trigger phrase as "the left".

I dunno, "the left" has their own terms to incite rage: far-right, white supremest (rarely any evidence), racist (same), right-winger, evangelicals, Nazi, deplorable, redneck, etc.

"The right" uses terms: liberal, socialist, communist, SJW, etc.

If you are strictly speaking in terms of which is more insightful and limit it to "the left" or "the right," I guess it depends on which circle you are closer to. I can see the argument for "the left" as being more insightful, but that might just be because of the circle I'm currently closer to.

I try to use terms such as those as a red flag. Anyone who tries to make a generalization for a spectrum as broad as "the left," or "the right," is trying to sell me something. I try to stick to policy, everything else is usually just theatre to distract from policy.

Somewhat related, Hillary Clinton was talking with BLM members about how to change things in 2015. She caught a lot of flack about it, but she was absolutely right when she said, "I don't believe you change hearts. You change laws, you change allocation of resources, you change the way systems operate." That's why I tend to stick to policy. Full disclosure, I don't particularly care for the Clintons.

[1] - That video was interesting since I know MDMA has a strong effect on norepinephrine and I have had that same experience of calm taking clonidine which stimulates the a2 receptors. I have a similar experience to Larry and therapists have said in the past I have Asperger's. I am low on the classic catecholamines so this makes sense.

[2] - It is normal to be depressed when you have cancer so I have no opinion on that. To me that is something I work through cognitively. I would never tells someone not to take it though because if you have never done any psychological work and then you get cancer, well, that's a long reach. It happened to my father. He never has a thing wrong with him his whole life, then he got Pancreatic cancer at 71 and suddenly saw his mortality. Taking him to chemo I was trying to help him through this but the look on his face told me it was too late. I would have liked for him to have one beautiful experience.

[3] - All things are just appearances. That is the only lesson one should learn who is "normal" taking LSD. I have said those same things in manic states as my friends would attest to, and I still have those experiences. You know, after a while, they are just normal like everything else.

Who is? I don't mean to be trite or contrary, but TikTok is coming into an environment where norms are pretty damned shady. Google as you and the article say, also consume user data quite unethically.

FB likewise surveil us for their advertising businesses. They both also happen to host and control a good chunk of political and politically adjacent content within that framework. Police and regulate it with no transparency. FB are also gave us our first big "scandals" with third party trackers and/or data sharing.

Other countries (including, but definitely not exclusively) also use tech companies as espionage assets.

TikTok is just a new pig at the trough.
respiration rate is not the same as heart rate although they trend in the same direction. I say this because I've worn a heart rate strap during all sorts of exercise and kettlebells do not elevate heart rate like cardio does, even though they feel like they should.

That said, is intense cardio really that important for health? moderate cardio seems to give most of the longevity benefits.
Questions about how effective this would be aside. What is there to really lose? If we inflate the economy via current means or inflate the economy via employing scientists and engineers ineffectively, it’s inflation nonetheless.
The basic problem is energy storage. If your not talking gigawatt-days then it's not feasible and most storage currently is megawatt-hours... i.e. because you need to store energy made during the day to use at night, to make solar power realistic you need a way to store huge amounts energy.
BTW: The England power grid is about 30 GW. So 1 GW-day is just shy of an hour of demand.
