Hate to break it to you … but the “industry” that is the “anime industry” has been quietly adopting the latest technology for years. There are notable exceptions like Ghibli but for the most part, Japanese animation studios have been pioneering the state of the art in cell shading, lighting and post processing, adjustable “cartoon physics” style automated physics tweening and basically everything else in 3d computer graphics that will allow them to make the most of their artistic efforts. They’ve still got a vibrant story boarding process helped by the obvious intersection of anime with the vibrant drawing culture that produces the manga so many are based on… but beyond the storyboards they have been relentlessly trying to eliminate the need to tediously draw anything unnecessarily. There are entire 2D (not 3d!) animation tools that serve the professional 2D “cartoon” market that have widespread adoption. The 3d market is no different, the first cell shaded graphics code I read was all written with Japanese comments… “anime studios” (except Ghibli) don’t “prefer handcrafting every single frame” they use whatever tools are available and usable by them, that are capable of executing the artistic vision of the art director of that project/show/movie.

They care about the outcome not the process. They care that it looks how they want it to look, that it conveys what they want it to convey. This is artistic pragmatism at its finest. They will composite hand drawn graphics/animation, 2D computer graphics/animation, and 3D computer graphics/animation… it’s the final results that matter. I absolutely expect that once the tooling gets better at frame-to-frame consistency, once it is good enough AI/ML based animation tools will be widely adopted by the “anime industry” and it will be praised because it will do things like let small manga creators produce short OVA or movies or YouTube style content directly whenever they want without having to spend ages working with an animation studio and the fans will love it because they love the content and for the most part that love is not dependent on how the content was made.

Thanks for the tip about the Hifiman Sundara they look very interesting.

Concrete lasts a really long time when it's under pure compression. You only run into issues when you try to build structures that need to survive in tension. That's when you start having to add rebar and lower weight and you run into issues.

Power is power. I'm not really trying to split hairs about what color it is. I'm just saying that we'd need to worry about the commons less (whether that's taxing the rich or putting a misbehaving government in check) if we were a bit more hygenic about how much power we allow to concentrate in the first place.

Don't listen to old folks, you're able to ship quality code production ready already, uni won't make you a better engineer comparing to a self taught path that you have already started and have made results with. The more you make money young the better it will compound through the years the earlier you can retire. Focus on making money, not degree. Keep this creative energy, bootstrap more projects, continue to bring value to the world... It will pay off. You're obviously talented, following uni will end up wasting your time which is highly valuable at that age.

> HTML doesn't even support tabs

Sure it does. As does XML. You just have to choose deliberately to use it, via such means as <pre> or the CSS `white-space: pre`, or, in XML, the xml:space attribute.

Incidentally, HTML and the web is a place where the superiority of tab-based indentation to space-based is particularly apparent, because you’re far more likely to encounter very narrow viewports, where reducing the width of tabs is useful, while still keeping a reasonable indentation level on wide enough screens. I do something similar to this, for example:

:root {
tab-size: 4;

@media (max-width: 50rem) {
tab-size: 2;
}
}

It's more that the category of "equivalent vehicles" is somewhat narrow. Mack dominates for garbage trucks because platforms of that size (18'-ish WB) rated for the 32-ton-ish GVW class aren't that common. Garbage trucks and dump trucks are two major applications, because both handle material that is much denser than typical truck cargo (once compacted, in the case of garbage trucks). Dump trucks of course are typically conventional cab, with the step-up cabover being a lesser-used option. There are some interesting design constraints that result in garbage trucks, particularly with pressure to minimize engine volume since putting a step-up cab over a large diesel engine is always a difficult space use exercise (and one that is almost unique to garbage trucks). This ends up meaning that the cabover version needs a pretty distinct frame from the conventional cab version because of the engine placement, and there ends up being implications on the suspension design. Historically some garbage trucks have been step-through, which is convenient for the operator, but extremely difficult to implement on modern truck platforms because the engine ends up occupying most of the middle of the cab. You pretty much have to go to rear-engine, which is rare and not really done to my knowledge except by Oshkosh for their generally very interesting front-end cement mixers.

That was all sort of a tangent, the point is that most garbage trucks are built on a truck platform, the Mack LR, that is specifically a garbage truck platform. I believe I have seen cement mixers built on the LR platform too but Mack doesn't seem to advertise it for anything other than garbage trucks.

Altough true that llms need more data than a human, remember that these llms have a breadth of knowledge orders of magnitude larger than a single human. It is expected to understand every topic, every programming language and so on.

IRC barbell strength training injury rates are lower than most activities for CASUAL practitioners but explodes (like most sports) when progress towards relatively advanced levels, which IMO, and in agreement with you, is probably counter productive for most people. I can't seem to find the routines NASA gives astronauts on ISS to prevent muscle atrophy and maintain bone density, but it was something stupid easy (as in achievable for gen pop) like 10s with around body weight on squats / deadlifts on their fancy ARED lifting machine, and 50-75% for overhead / bench, with the explict goal of minimizing injury chance. But they do exercise very frequently, almost everyday since no gravity, but I think most people are fine with doing even a reduced volume version a couple times a week.

Issue with bodyweight activities, is they're pretty poor for developing and maintaining lower body strength, and that (i.e broken hips) is one of the top reasons people break themselves in later life. It doesn't take much for one badly leveraged move climbing/gymastics/martial arts to enter snap city. Especially with explosive concentric components, i.e. something like depth jump is considered extremely high risk injury exercise. There's a lot of bodyweight movements especially in context of activities where one can over-exert/commit. Modest weight training is calibrated and repeatable and less risky in that sense.
I started at SF In the last 15 months. I was frankly surprised how primitive Salesforce’s use of Slack was when I got there. Since then there’s been a ton of workflows created but the (Slack) culture is still a bit weird. i think the workspace itself was created around the time of acquisition. Some teams were using Slack, but it was piecemeal at best. Some of those workspaces got folded into the workspace.

1. Threads for everything everywhere, always. People are practically afraid to not use a thread, even in team channels.

2. Little to no #random culture. People are afraid to meme? Maybe if you find some of the weirder channels you see it

3. Terrible GUS integration. There was no GUS integration at all when I started. (GUS is Jira implemented on Salesforce). There’s all sorts of other things I could say about GUS, but the worse thing I suppose I could say about it is that I miss Jira. GUS bot, I think, is implemented with APEX, so it’s kind of like the SDK for Salesforce I think. Not sure if this is dogfooding or it was just what the team knew. From GUS, you can create some channels in GUS for an incident, for example, but I think that’s inverted compared to how Jira sort of can do things (i.e. you should be able to look at guess and find everywhere something was discussed, but it’s not posible)

4. No integrations for internal Github

5. One workspace. Not that terrible though. Slack employees are all homed in their workspace.

6. It’s impossible to write your own Slack app to connect to. More generally, it’s hard to just run informal internal tools at Salesforce. I think people used to do that now with Heroku, but that’s sort of deprecated and I think there’s network/security reasons why.

There’s other things, but I can only guess on the Slack side they’d see some of these things and be annoyed

For some reference, I’ve been on Slack for over 8 years and came from Hipchat.

Edit:

7. Nobody uses Huddles, Google Meet is heavily used.

I think slack use culture has improved a bit. I would say it’s still very strange to see the list of Slack apps installed to be so small. I understand it’s for security reasons. I’m mostly happy at Salesforce - and most work happens on Slack.
There is not actual legal trouble, only purely theoretical legal trouble. And its both purely theoretical and HIGHLY unlikely.
Banks in the US are required to provide a standardized privacy statement about what personal information they share, and whether you can limit it. There are meaningful differences between banks, so it's not at all true that "almost every bank" is as anti-consumer as possible. Some examples showing differences:

Yes. Exactly. Because by trying to fix it you will inevitably kill more and ruin the country completely and leave it in the worse state. The examples are numerous. Nobody gave you such rights. I however will support your personal decision if you grab the rifle go there and join their resistance.

> and to compare physical slavery with copyright is ridiculous.

On the contrary, you cannot mathematically distinguish (c)opywrong laws as anything but a kind of slavery.

Define a person A as a slave to person B if person B has legal control over person A at all times.

Now imagine person A is hanging out with Person C. With (c)opywrong laws, Person B has legal control over a subset of person A's behavior in this scenario (they are forbidden from sharing certain files with Person C by Person B). Hence, Person A is a partial slave to Person B.

It is not metaphor, it is literally a subset of the same thing. Intellectual Slavery is just slavery from many masters.

Right but the thing is neither did the Romans. The only reason roman concrete lasted so long is it didn't use steel reinforcement. All of the structures we have from them are carefully designed to only use compression.

Look at how LinkedIn and Microsoft operate. The two companies have their own offices, salary tiers, office perks and lots more. Every department (including roles like marketing, recruiting, sales) is separate. Heck LinkedIn employees even use Slack rather than Microsoft Teams. It is the perfect example of independent company culture regardless of ownership.

What you said might be true for the majority of acquisitions at that scale, but it is by no means a strict rule.
Life/nature is certainly amazing and incredibly complex. Earth has been around for about 1/3 of the age of the universe though. You could flip your question and ask why it's taken so long.

Call panel not in the cab -- so you must be talking about a "destination dispatch" system. With DD, you go to a call kiosk, and enter your desired destination floor, and the kiosk tells you which car to take. DD systems are done because it allows for much more sophisticated scheduling, and larger elevator lobbies with longer walk times, the net result being much better capacity, especially at peak traffic times.

In the cab you will typically have a button to take you back to the lobby in case you didn't get off on your desired floor and can't enter another call.

Modern destination dispatch systems are integrated with RF badge readers so that the elevator system can be programmed with your office floor, and so you don't need to go to the kiosk at all, just walk past it, and it will schedule your to a car to take you to your office floor.

The scheduler can group passengers together to get fewer stops, and longer express zones. Also, it makes double-deck elevators practical. Consider the elevators in the Willis Tower in Chicago. These are double-deck cabs, and it takes about three floors for the cab to accelerate to or decellerate from express speed and make a stop. Considering the number of people that system moves daily, it would be impossible to do without DD.
No mention of detectiong urinary tract infections or diabetes mellitus[1], which I'd have thought would be fairly important.

I completely agree. I pretty much stopped using Spring/Boot because of it, even though it could be used without Hibernate/JPA.

I tried sql2o and later switched to jdbi and Javalin for a lightweight framework. I started making a typesafe library[0] that maps bottom-up like SQL expressions but development as stalled as I haven't been doing much side-project work to use it.

The bit about the tape deck was intended as a bit of a joke. Tape decks were almost unheard of in new vehicles in 2006, and MP3 cd players were fairly common already. It was super strange to mash together a 6 disc changer with a tape deck.

Both the deck and changer have been flawless in 16 years and 350,000KM of gravel roads, and adding an aux input wasn't too hard.

The capital gains you’re talking about are not “untaxed”, they simply don’t exist. An unrealized capital gain is one that hasn’t occurred. It’s very intellectually dishonest to pretend that unrealized gains are real, and extremely so to pretend that they are income.

I think our personal views agree on this matter.

However, if symbolic reasoning indeed arises as an emergent property, there is no way that Marcus can honestly claim to have been right all along. Remember he is saying that the deep learning guys are looking under the wrong street light.
Exactly. If you do want to encode control characters, the way to do that would be as character entities (which are simply text like &amp;) and handle the translation of these entities at the application level. As an example, if we want a newline to be removed for presentation (or translated into a newline symbol like in Microsoft Word), the right place to do that would be at the rendering time and not in the data representation layer (which is where XML operates).

You could also use tags, for example <br> tag in HTML.

After all it is Extensible Markup Language and the functionality for adding custom tags is the basic feature.

And as suggested above, base64 encoding and application level decoding is also an accepted practice.

All these techniques point to handling the rendering at the application level.

I mean, siting is everything. I’d only build one of these in a hill. I’ve got an earth-bermed house in a hillside in rural Wisconsin. There were terrible floods in the area in 2018, but the drains around the house sent all the water down the hill to the creek.
You'd be surprised. PDP-11s and emulated VAXen are not for hobbyists. They're for companies that still have that PDP-11 or critical VAX they can't get rid of. It's usually in an embedded or context - like running a nuclear reactor. Sometimes things last a long-long-long time.

It's like GPS, even if you know the roads you'll look at the GPS once you make that habit. I think for learning songs memorization is much better once you can do it.
