> Film, I would assert, works because the teeth just need to align the film; force transfer just uses the filmstrip itself.

I'm not a projectionist or a mechanical engineer, but I reasoned the opposite way:

* Film sprockets have a difficult job because the film has to be stopped and started 24 times a second[1]. It needs to be held still while light is shining through it, and then (to reduce flicker) it needs to get moved to next frame quickly.

* Film seems soft and easy to damage, but somehow all that seems to work anyway.

* So it's probably OK if you have a stronger material like steel and all you need to do is move at a constant speed.

> Gear teeth are a reasonably complex design

That's a really good point. Here's a page that covers film sprockets: https://www.sprocketschool.org/wiki/Sprockets

And sure enough, it covers the evolution of sprocket design, saying a manufacturer "created the VKF ('very kind to film') sprocket in order to improve presentation and reduce film wear".

So, although you could probably steal ideas from film, there is indeed some engineering to do.

Also, the trash train designer said he wanted smooth, quiet operation. He 3D-printed the pinion gear out of plastic, which achieves that. If he'd done a sprocket and hole thing, my guess is the sprocket teeth need to be strong, so it probably has to be made out of steel. So it'd be harder to make and less quiet.

I guess the main reason film does it this way is because it has to. It's flat.

I still think the film-style approach is probably feasible, but now I'm convinced it has some significant drawbacks.

[1] Apparently the sprockets that do this are called intermittent sprockets. Wikipedia has a good explanation and illustration here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movie_projector#Film_gate_and_...

Note the blue arrows showing slack between the intermittent sprockets and the other sprockets that move continuously.
There is a time and place but as soon as you have a few teams that build thigns differently or someone wants to upgrade how things are done on a very big project you will wish you used services instead of modules.
Constantly stating "ACAB" works against what you're trying to accomplish in your peer group. In fact, in order to influence substantial changes within any organization you would want that organization populated by people you trust and respect. Stating "ACAB" just discourages the very changes you want to see.
After scanning 300+ comments my conclusion is that not only there is no conclusion in this debate, there is no discernible framework that would help generate a conclusion

Most likely the question is not well defined in the first place.
That seems unlikely. The legal risk you put yourself in doing that would be easy higher than any gains you could hope to make.

This is likely some callcenter-adjacent scam. They're probably doing this to hundreds of shops, and occasionally get one cave in and pay.
You are the first person I have ever heard present this sentiment.
They feel cheap to me on the inside, I hate the big screen in the middle (prefer slightly older cars with knobs and buttons instead of touch screens) and generally avoid things with too many "electronics" because they're harder / more expensive to service / repair.

(Yes, I realize this is true of a lot of other cars besides Teslas, I don't buy them either)
In the past I would have considered a Tesla, but now I wouldn't want to be associated with Elon in any way

C++ is one of the most popular languages in the world. It's a gigantic market and growing every year. The bigger problem is getting anyone to notice a new editor at all.
You do nothing with the data in the interim? I find that hard to believe.
Funny, I have the opposite opinion for the same reason as you - I'd rather just use an auto-formatter in a non-whitespace sensitive language and have the option to mark certain sections as needing custom indentation for readability. E.g. I've had situations where I'm calling into an API to programmatically build a nested GUI in Python, and the inability to indent my API calls to represent the structure of the nested UI was seriously frustrating. Also, trying to copy-paste code in Python while getting the indentation right is an exercise in severe frustration.

None of this is accurate, from everything I've read about these events, I haven't found any evidence of him lying or fabricating claims, unless you consider lying by omission, whereby he didn't volunteer negative things during interviews. Some may consider that unethical, but I strongly disagree with that perspective. Nobody has a responsibility to volunteer negative information about themselves when it impedes their own life goals. There is a longstanding legal and philosophical precedent for this- consider for example the 5th amendment. People volunteering negative info about themselves are generally socially dysfunctional and suffering from low self esteem, not being ethical or honest. I see this a lot with people that are serially unsuccessful in both business and dating- they will spew out every mistake or negative about themselves to people they just met, and turn them away before they get a chance to connect, doing themselves a grave injustice. Fuller was doing important work, and he had an ethical responsibility to portray it in a positive light, such that humanity could realize it's benefits.

Moreover, your posts seems to be consistent with a recent popular trend to smear the image of inventors of the past with misinformation. I believe this is symptomatic of a terrible cultural trend whereby all accomplishment and success is seen as a type of theft, rather than understanding that it's often contributing real value to humanity. It is my belief that this is driven by a desire to rationalize nihilism and mediocrity.

A similar note that gave me pause. (I eventually pulled the trigger and bought a model 3 but it took me a looong time.)

- I want to be able to hook up a small, efficient generator, maybe as a back-mounted module. But Teslas can't be charged while in motion.

(I don't want to _own_ such a generator. I want to rent one for long distance trips. Preferably one that uses 100% Ethanol or some other carbon neutral fuel. You get the point.)

Git submodules are definitely a hack.

> I have no time for whinging snowflakes complaining 12 years (2020-2008) was not enough time to migrate their code to Python 3. Hell, even the original 7 years (2015-2008) should have been long enough for 99.999999% of the community.

If a company has production Python2 application / service (with hundreds of thousands of LOC), what business value does it bring to migrate it to Python3?

At that point, if you've got to make severe changes, folks might decide to use a language that doesn't impose breaking changes (and business cost) on them. YMMV.

I've tried playing text adventure games with ChatGPT and it leans on certain tropes very heavily, especially if you don't give it a lot of "meat" to work with. It fills out scenes really well but if you don't give it strong direction and let it "drive" you get the text equivalent of unseasoned blended potato.

ChatGPT's response is good because this prompt has a lot of detail. You'd still need to hand hold it through the rest of this story if you want something interesting.
Sounds like they're writing science fiction then.
The monthly cost is kind of a nonstarter for me. The sublime text model seems like a good alternative. ~$100 for ~3 years of updates with perpetual ownership of the latest version at the end of your subscription.
> I have thousands of followers on Twitter, just hundreds on Mastodon.

My own take on this calculus is that those thousands of followers on Twitter are by definition comprised of the kind of people who voluntarily use Twitter, which is not the audience that I care to select for. I'd rather have ten high-quality followers than ten thousand low-quality ones.

Too many good innocent people will be unable to fix the issue once it gets started.

Idk ... this is like saying your local grocery store is effectively your extremely large kitchen, it ignores the logistics and cost of access that create planning or out-of-order requirements for best performance.

> so memory is (effectively) an extremely large register bank.

This was true-ish however in the late 70's/early 80's/1Mhz CPU days - but registers were always better even if slightly. The 6502, for example, could load the X register with an immediate value in 2 cycles, or from zero page (first 256 bytes of RAM) in 3 cycles, or from an arbitrary 16-bit address in 4 cycles. The few register-to-register operations all work in 2 cycles. (Then you have the TMS9900 that actually did use RAM as registers - only having 3 - one for the program counter, one for the status register, and a "workspace pointer" that told the CPU where the fake 'registers' lived.)

Of course, x86 has elaborate caching mechanisms to help. Your freezer is still in your kitchen (cache), but you still have limited space you actually use to do work (countertop).

What RAM is basically a superfast I/O device (which is why memory-mapped I/O is a thing). It's funny that the IBM mainframe for RAM - "storage" - kinda made more and more sense the more that RAM speed diverged from CPU speed.
Physicists Found a Time Crystal Inside a Children's Toy – IFLScience
I actually wonder if they are really that antiquated, but rather that these schemes to bypass labor laws used to be called out and stopped, either by the unions in the 1890s or 1920s, or by the government in the 1950s.

That is, I wonder if the the deregulation era of the 1980s also deregulated labor practices to the extent that companies can now jump through these hoops in order to avoid labor laws.
Yeah, fair enough. It's become synonymous with "something I don't like".
no. lol

They are overpriced by around $20k for the fit and finish.

Build and materials quality were ok to overlook when Teslas used to be the only sensible EV option. Now the market is full of interesting EVs. Why pay German car money to get a car that's built like a budget car?
I'm sure that at least some of the complexity in AWS exists because they can't go back and refactor their offerings when so many users depend on it.
I don't want to pay that much for a car, especially for how little I drive. Even a used Model 3 is at least 38,000€, and the insurance premiums are crazy. I also don't think that Teslas are cool and that they look goofy.
Posthog is one of my faves, beats the crap out of GA, especially in terms of usability / reporting! Their support is fantastic too.
They're too expensive and I work from home so I rarely drive. I have an ICE car from 2007. It has about 30k miles on it.

From both a money and an environmentally friendly aspect, I'm pretty sure a shiny new Tesla would pretty much never pay for itself. And I view cars as tools not toys.

For non-techies maybe this is the golden goose, but for people in the tech world for more than a decade it would probably be a no go, it would be for my family.
There does seem to be a change in the way decisions are being "managed" at least from my perspective; I'm not sure how much of it is related to work from home, and how much is hangover from the "we're all in this together" COVID response, or from some other direction - but I seem to be experiencing meetings that start and end with "lets just do this thing" and almost never touch the subject of "why are we doing this thing" anymore.

> We're discrediting

We are shocked that an overly large number of individuals expect stones to bleed, and intelligence to pour out of machines that do not have intelligence coded inside, and that instead have unintelligence - acritical repetition - coded inside.

That he should catch up with his nature, if he shows the critical capacities of a simulacrum that has none.

> not at the level

No, no, no: it is not a matter of quantity but of quality: if you do not implement it or its origin, it will not be there.

> [Asimov]

Asimov is relevant. For example, I remember his idea that the State comes from Agriculture (~10000 BC), in the need to plan irrigation, or that the Abel vs Cain story could be a parallel of the political consequences of lands denied to pastors. Now: those seem to be good ideas, and their production can be an interesting goal. But there is something /before/ "creativity", or "advanced pattern recognition": it is /intelligence/, meaning that Asimov, after having spawned those hypoteses, has /vetted/ them as a required duly activity before confirming them in his set of founded hypotheses. You have to use intelligence, you have to have intelligence, and if you want to do AGI, you have to implement intelligence!!!
I would argue that the Russian invasion proved the new NATO members right. At the end of the day Russia reserved itself the right to use brute force when it sees it's own interest threatened. For a lot of countries the only chance to defend themselves if attacked by Russia was and is to join NATO.

I think you likely encounter the rude people on twitter hiding behind anon. accounts. My step dad lost ~30k in what he thought was a relatively safe investment (earning APY). I did tell him to be very careful as most of crypto to the uninitiated is a scam. He ended up being able to put Ethereum in but not able to take it out. Obviously if the returns appear to good to be true they probably are but this is an older guy with limited financial experience and virtually no technical knowledge. These people sit there on the sidelines approaching a tough retirement watching people get rich or "earning" 15% APR and start to panic that they are missing a once in a life time opportunity and jump in. Its sad.

This is backwards

This isn't true, the number is here, "additional defined terms" are later.

Thanks for your help. Especially on New Years Eve. My goal was always to try to find someone at Stripe that could help me get through the automated process churn and you were very helpful in that. It was not to slam Stripe overall because you all have been very good to us for years. Which is also why I’m trying to be as fair as I can be to both sides and also why I didn’t just jump to lawyer calling levels etc. I knew eventually Stripe would do the right thing. Just figuring out how to make that happen was the hard part.

Because the Honda Accord I've had for a few years runs fine and meets my needs. I plan on driving it until it won't anymore (almost 100k miles down, 100k-300k to go).

And for you CO2 nerds: a new car costs a lot of CO2 just to manufacture, no matter what it runs on. Running my existing 100% ICE car until its inoperable will produce less CO2 than manufacturing an electric one. I also live in an area whose electricity is still mostly powered by fossil fuels.
