Interesting design. I made a lock a couple years ago that is quite similar in principle (though this design is different and has a couple nice improvements).

https://youtu.be/_7vPNcnYWQ4

One of my main goals is to be an inspiration, though if it was based by my design I wish they’d credit it. Especially since they’re patenting it.
> In what way? Do people live on huge ranches / estates, walk through large redwood trees, ski down a glacier, watch professional football/hockey/basketball live? Can they hunt, fish, shoot or run into hollywood celebrities?

What... world do you live in that Europeans* can't do all of that except the last?

> Can they even buy a house or do they have to settle for an apartment?

Of course... wtf? lol 76% of people own their homes in Spain. Home ownership in the US is only 65%...

* Spanish people can go anywhere in the EU with just an ID, no passport needed, just like in the US.
And just like that, we got this open.
At least with things like databases and Pandas you can claim that there might be a valid performance reason for a different abstraction. Regular objects allow for inheritance which I usually find bad, but lots of people do like it. NamedTuples, TypedDicts, and Dataclasses are basically all rapid iterations on the same idea with the same purpose.
LA is also about 500 square miles to SF's 50, isn't it?

First most cattle in the US get the majority of calories over their lifetime from crops not directly grazing land.

The actual percentage breakdown is for land completely dependent on irrigation and land preparation. It’s not cost effective to use huge tracts of land for crops because we have such excess farmland, but maximum production would involve zero animals whatsoever.

Further, actual productivity on marginal or untended land is by definition very low. Cattle grazing on scrub that gets minimal rainfall is very expensive both in terms of effort and the energy expended by cattle to extract what little food is available while generally leading to desertification.

In terms of converting waste products, such organic material has a wide range of uses including feeding livestock. You could for example burn it for energy so calling it a waste product is very misleading.
Ironically, that disc-detainer pick is the one thing that is not available for sale on covertinstruments. I went looking for it the other day and it's not listed at all, not even as "out of stock".
A silly note: On their website their "as see on" mentions Reddit and HackerNews as two of the three places they appeared.

But interesting project nonetheless!
> All of agriculture is 11%

I looked at the document, and it doesn’t seem to include the embedded CO2 from Urea production (fertiliser) which would be a large emission omission. Perhaps it shows up in the detailed breakdown somewhere.

The sibling comment gave a good answer.

Largely yes. In any field there are a few top performers or people with special connections that cant be replaced. But legal forms can be automated and AI today, even relatively unsophisticated AI seems to me to be capable of finding the correct legal argument better than many lawyers

This (or value typed strings) is an important optimization that most other systems don't properly have. If you know the string is immutable, so it won't ever have to be resized, you can do a single allocation (string+buffer) instead of having an extra pointer dereference (string->buffer).
I think so too. Another one is Foresty Forest:

To be fair, the same thing could also have happened in NYC.

The poster only said that the razed areas were "better". They never said anything about, say, The Bronx being "better".

I think the point they were making is largely irrelevant given the numerous differences between the two examples. Time. Commercial pressures. Etc. But they certainly seem similar in the manner that s/he describes.
If your aim is to control a population then this is how you do it.

Therefore all kings, presidents, ruling aristocrats, corporate overlords, etc, will do exactly this. Sooner or later.

Am I wrong?
What's the threat model? Does this lock secure a location that has no windows? Can a sledgehammer be used to open the door?

Ok, so maybe covert entry is harder. Do you care THAT much about covert entry? If you care that much about covert entry, do you also have video monitoring?

Security solutions need to be used in context.
From some googling, average freight speed in the US is under 40km hour. And that includes huge stretches of track without a curve or a mole hill. The capacity limitations end up at the depots anyway so going faster just means hurry up and wait.
Crappy science in the name of a decent moral agenda is still crappy science, I'm afraid to say.
I’m not squeamish about urban areas—I lived in downtown Baltimore, Wilmington Delaware, and Atlanta. But you’re missing some perspective. The captain is talking about gangs. The presence of gang members means that law abiding citizens are driven out of these public places. So the folks who are “loitering” typically aren’t up to anything good.

I just met an Uber driver from Germany the other day. He lives in Georgia (the state) now and was talking about how he moved to this town to get away from the dangerous city nearby. He was happy that his kid could ride around on his bike like back home in his village in Germany. I remember thinking it odd because I had never heard a European talk like that. But I suspect they don’t “get it” until they actually live it.
You're also comparing the biggest cities to each other. If you compared say, Lafayette, LA to Montpelier, VT to Las Cruces, NM, you might draw a different conclusion.

Your wording is pretty telling.
I think you misread what I said.
I mean more about ROI. We can't automate everything obviously. We can replace some janitors with floor sweeping robots and toilet cleaning robots, but who's going to clean under the sink?

We've had car assembly robots for decades because the ROI is incredible. Burger flipping robots less so. McDonald's does flip lots of burgers worldwide and apparently the bots are saving some money. But they flip a lot of burgers, so it's likely they haven't replaced all humans yet.
There’s also a lock on that channel he can’t pick - the bowley I think? It has a wild key design.

The pay averages around $130-$140k canadian dollars. 90k GBP is about $140k CAD, which is about the same. A specialist makes around +$300k, a surgeon over $500k. Also it's about what the alternatives pay for a doctor. Becoming a specialist isn't that much more work, but pays significantly better. Also you can do equivalent work as a GP doctor working at walk in clinics / urgent care and get paid significantly more in the same city from the same healthcare system than being a traditional family doctor. It's kind of obvious why you don't have any family doctors with that kind of financial incentive system. The ones that do it do it out of inertia or really like being a family doctor for non-financial reasons.

Another special thing about the UK although is the amount of schooling needed to become one and consummate expense and risk seems significantly less. You can enter doctor school after high school and be in school for a significantly less amount of time. If you don't get in, you can move on with your life and go do something else with nothing really spent time wise or financially.

In the US/Canada, you need to get at least %75 of an undergrad, hope you get accepted into a graduate doctor school, which is extremely competitive, and then work you ass off in a very high workload situation, and then you need to do residency where your paid below minimum wage if you do an hours worked calculation, in a system designed by a doctor with a literal cocaine habit before cocaine was made illegal. Your in your 30s when you can start making proper money.

Hackernews is also a huge source of distraction, but some people here won’t admit it.
The concepts employed in the StuffMadeHere video were derived from techniques used in other pick-resistant locks. His implementation is unique, of course, but he also derived his lock from other existing techniques.

There’s a big world of lock design and research out there, and I doubt this company simply decided to rip off a YouTuber.

Jesus christ people here are boring about Copilot. It’s amazing! It works fantastically well. It’s good not to keep it on all the time, because that gets distracting, but in certain circumstances it’s genuinely useful, and always impressive to see the way that it is not regurgitating, but has a real knack for producing uncannily apt code taking in multiple details of the local context. It’s a radical advance; a qualitative leap forward. The tedious idiots who miss all that, can’t appreciate the quality just because it comes from a mega corporation, and have spent the last year blathering on about how it is “just copying public code” are mean-spirited, ungracious, jealous, luddites.

Balding to men is similar to aging for women. The more attractive folks take it badly because society starts treating them worse.
A cursory Google ("who replaced Patrick Stewart as Professor X") shows that James McAvoy portrayed the character from 2011-2019, sharing some overlap with Stewart (2000-2017 and 2022).
Please clap
I’ve had a few male friends approach me about my baldness and how I manage to live with it. Usually they’re noticing that they’re thinning or their hairline is receding, and they’re genuinely scared about what life will be like.

I could take it offensively, but I started balding so early and I’m so used to it that I’m totally over it and I welcome the questions about their fate.

It’s a little striking in some cases because people ask as though it must be misery. Like, I’m some kind of misfortune half-person, haha.

It’s crazy to imagine asking people about other genetic traits in a similar way, but again, I’m happy to let them know they too will survive baldness.
Indeed when it was recorded music, the musicians were the ones being blamed for having "the wrong business model" or an inconvenient distribution mechanism.
LPL “cheated” when picking SMH’s lock but still provided valuable feedback. Both weaknesses he found are easily fixed. In one case he could walk the deadbolt back because of a precision error/oversight in SMH’s lock. The other he stuck a small shim between the door and the lock to tension the second tumbler which is not an issue with this lock and easily fixed on SMH’s lock by closing the back with a plate.
Love the concept except for the 'underground' bit?

Underground is really, really expensive, for urban areas, I get it, but I wonder why it couldn't 'mostly' be above ground, like rail infrastructure?

Underground passes for bypassing major roads, but otherwise, above ground where possible?

Apparently, 'near surface underground' which can be achieved via scraping is much less costly than tunnel digging?
It’s not that they are more efficient at extracting protein it’s they preferentially use carbohydrates for energy. Human vegetarians can have that same ratio of protein to calories in their flesh as cows or non vegetarian humans. Though the actual ratios do depend on body composition for both cattle and humans.
Here's an idea:

Charge product manufacturers enough tax to get recycling of their packaging to 95%.

Aluminum and clear glass would immediately become more popular (they are mechanically sortable). I'm guessing the manufacturers would quickly standardize on a small number of plastics for everything else.

> the once unified gangs were displaced throughout the broader Chicagoland area, and were able to grow immensely without the constraint of their former static, well-monitored domiciles.

This is not what happened. Firstly, just to get this out of the way, this period in Chicago was a time of gang fragmentation, not growth or consolidation.

There was a rise in violence associated with it, but that was because people who had been warehoused in the west side high rises moved to the south side, where there were already established gangs and relationships between them. This led to conflict in the same way that the New Orleans floods led to conflict in Houston, because New Orleans people were tough and Houston people were tough, so when New Orleans people were moved to Houston, things happened.

Chicago is dangerous because it is an absurdly segregated city containing massive pockets of poverty with no public services, jobs or grocery stores, complete disinvestment from public schools, and a outsized fine and fee schedule. Upper-middle class whites in Chicago are paranoid about it for good reason, the same reason any wealthy person trying to have some bohemian city experience at the edges of a favela would be afraid.
My own personal Mondegreen was 'Modern English' -- 'I Melt with You', which I first heard on AM radio.

The Lyric I 'heard' was "I'll stop the world and {meld} with you" and not "I'll stop the world and {melt} with you"

In my mind, I heard 'Meld' as in;

To mix together so that the components are indistinguishable.

Syn: blend, mix, conflate, commingle, immix, fuse, coalesce, combine, merge.

The hard part of creating good quests is not generating the quest dialogue, but crafting a compelling story and placing it into the world. Why is this farmer having kobold problems? How does that fit into the world around the questgiver? What does the landscape of the farm look like?
Systems are not comparable. US systems are to my knowledge: all above ground; long trains, which require longer stopping distances; require manual loading; coupling of trains is manual; driven by humans; distances traveled are completely different; one-way, single direction, per use; breakdown cannot be routed around; etc.
I am not entirely sure that most data-oriented programs do go this way. You can split functionality out of the data but the data can still be represented with an object or whatever. I would agree though, you might as well be using Python at that point.

An example of what I mean is Spring. Obviously, from what I recall, that goes to other extreme with lots of XML configuration. But there is no need for vague types that can cause all sorts of mischief at runtime. The key idea is splitting code from data, not necessarily the representation of the data (although that can come into it if you have performance-sensitive apps).

>It kills me that people can't seem to comprehend this.

because it's not a good comparison. Code is not language because language need not be syntactically correct, and people generally can infer correct semantics even from badly mangled communication.

These automated coding solutions generate syntactical and semantic errors that another machine will not understand, and even more importantly, it generates kinds of errors that people are not accustomed to.

Copilot is more like an automated car that goes off into random directions in ways that even human drivers would not, and you never know when. And when humans have to interact with black boxes whose behavior they cannot anticipate, small errors are not merely small errors, they create significant tension and uncertainty that requires almost constant attention.
The absurd google street view race from SF -> NYC comes to mind as well.

Irrigation lets you grow corn or other crops just about anywhere. The availability of irrigation is largely a solvable problem. In the US for example the east coast, Alaska etc gets plenty of fresh water which just ends up in the ocean.

Another theme I’ve seen is that games with a bad, brutish, or scary guy as a protagonist tend to have him be bald.

My sample size is too small (just my own limited gaming experience) though so this might not be true if I collected data properly.

Yes it is. Cows can eat only grass and still get enough protein. Vegetarians can not do that and still get enough protein. They have to eat other plants as well. Those plants do not grow everywhere.
I didn't have access to the full article (behind a paywall) but I wonder if the issue was due to the language they used which caused the message to be confusing and therefore use up the driver's focus to figure out what it meant or that this type of messaging is actually negative (fear, etc leads to worse reflexes?).
I recall in the past, laser printers shared significant guts with copy machines. That's a product with an effectively 100% business market, so they're going to be way more TCO-driven.

From what I understand, once you get far enough above the SOHO market, even current printers are still that way. I suspect in the past, the small laser printer market was getting trickle-down benefits from technology innovations to service the commercial market, but now it's become its own free-standing market which no longer responds to the same signals.

It also makes me wonder if that's the road to an affordable, if overkill, printer-- a module that bypasses the scanning side of a used copier, and renders your PostScript data to it.
Thanks. I'll give it another go, although I was hoping for something that synced to markdown files.

While you’re likely right, YouTubers are massive in terms of reach and popularity, and there are heaps of cases where companies have done exactly that…
What if we boycott copilot?
Arguably copilot was built using open source code against the spirit of the licenses. After all Microsoft has done to undermine open source in the past, can we allow them to have the last laugh? What if we organize a boycott?
It looks extensible to me? I don't see anything keeping you from making it 6x (or 36x) harder by adding one or two more pins.
