> I don't think it is about that because these controls don't apply to non-children.

But they do. In order to “comply” with these types of regulation, legal content is either put behind identity verification (which is both expensive and invasive), or is just removed completely. This absolutely affects non-children.
Hmm. Yes, that sounds like it's worth exploring, though N*N "physical" instructions for every "logical" instruction is a lot. I would maybe investigate a 1-operand register-based instruction set? That way, you would only have N "physical" instructions per "logical" instruction, which feels like it would scale better. The cost of course would come in the form of limited expressiveness.

A 1-operation instruction set would have N registers and 1 accumulator, with instructions of the form "add register R to accumulator", "load from register R to accumulator", "store from accumulator to register R", etc.

Maybe there's a balance here, a sort of mix where you allocate more registers to the source than the destination? Maybe have registers r0 and r1 be possible output registers, while r0 through r7 are possible input registers? That way you have 16 rather than 64 "physical" instructions per "logical" instruction.

The only way to figure out if these ideas are worthwhile is to give it a try and measure. You're balancing instruction set expressiveness against branch predictability and instruction cache pressure and I have no idea how that works out.
Is there an open source alternative to this, for personal usage at smaller scale?

>You don't know how much a map costs to make, nor how much it would cost to maintain long term. Nor the cost of amortizing over 30 years. You're just making claims with nothing to back it up.

I literally work at an automotive OEM that maintains its own AV team and map infra. I have seen the balance sheets. It’s not going to scale.

Also, you make the inverse claim without evidence or any purported industry expertise. Where’s your evidence that Waymo can just walk into a new city without ballooning costs? If they can do it, why don’t they? That which has been asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

> You used "fraud". Fraud requires damages to a party

Tesla owners bought a product called “Full Self-Driving”. You are illiterate if you don’t consider that product name tantamount to fraud if the car can’t drive itself.

Investors were clearly lied to. Once again, I don’t care about VC money. Part of the game to lose it.

I used to sit nearby on my lunch break, and on a clear day you could watch planes after takeoff clearly follow the course of the river N/NW until completely out of sight, which would probably have been close the DC/Maryland border. They would be going in and out every few minutes and they all took the exact same flight path.
Follow the link I included - LIBS is now handheld (in the same XRF form factor, weight etc), quite a competitive space now, many handheld XRF manufacturers have LIBS versions available.

ATX is just a formfactor, there's nothing preventing apple from releasing an ATX board with soldered-on memory - this is actually not even that unusual in the µATX formfactor.
Ruby is one of the few successors to smalltalk with "true" everything is an object and message passing. As such, duck typing is in fact a feature and if you can internalize how it differs from traditional OOP then it becomes very powerful. It is a double edged sword however, and can be wielded poorly.
Yes it’s almost always a mistake now. I used to be able to find interesting threads I might miss otherwise, but for a while I tend to just find whatever the most popular flame war thread at the time is.

I don’t get why tesla can’t just do the thing that originally made them successful: build really good electric cars, that people choose to buy over cheaper alternatives.

Why do they need a competitive mote when they can just outcompete by doing things as they already were?

AFAICT teslas are becoming worse instead of better, because of this obsession with gimmicks instead of excellence and customer satisfaction.

Speaking of form factor I am really surprised more people don't want an Air. My work laptop (purchased by my employer) was an Air in the Intel days, and I loved it even though it was dog slow. It didn't bother me because I basically only need a browser and ssh. And, I bike to work so weight reduction matters.

Nowadays after the Apple Silicon transition my employer no longer offered an Air. The reason was too few employees wanted it and it was too much trouble to maintain a separate SKU in the inventory for the few of us. Really quite a bummer.

Recently had a good experience with Typesense [0] for implementing ecommerce search. We solved the "blue shirts" problem by grouping a products color variants together using `group_by` and ranking by text match. The best "matching" shirts are then likely blue.

I have never felt true loneliness, but as a single scoped suggestion, I've always felt in good company in my teenage years playing MMORPGs in a tight-knit guild, and now in adulthood playing TTRPGs with local groups (not that there's an age limit to MMORPGs but I haven't found one that resonates with me for a while).
For an even more extroverted person in a bigger city than where I live I'd imagine improv is in the same spectrum further to the side of "having fun by goofing off".
A five year old can learn to play the piano quite well, but there is very little utility or monetary value to this skill.

I think that's a little naive. We could do it now in the US but we don't. In countries like the US I expect widespread poverty after more jobs evaporate, because the wealthy won't want to just support those people, even if we can as a country. We won't need all those hourly workers to do basic things. But what will all those people who don't have a "real job" that does something a robot/ai can't perform do? The US will have chaos and maybe even actual fighting before the federal legislature approves UBI.

It's funny, because my experience is almost precisely the inverse.

I found that "The Art of Electronics" includes a lot of very suboptimal circuits that easily mislead people. There are a lot of "restricted domain" circuits in AoE and very little guidance saying "If you're using this, you probably screwed up."

By contrast, I learned and built stuff from the Mims circuits all through high-school. Things worked fine for me. Now, I didn't try to do RF circuits--I was mostly doing lower speed analog with some digital stuff. I don't remember any of it being flaky. In fact, I remember using one of my Mims handbooks to help debug one of my AoE circuits.

I hit "The Art of Electronics" in college via my Physics department starting freshman year (I was a mainline EE taking a bunch of Physics classes--don't ask). Putting together experiments using circuits from "The Art of Electronics" was generally a lot of frustration.

Of course, like you, once I hit the real "Electronics 101" (a Junior year class), those problems all went away. Suddenly I knew which ones would work for which domains and my frustration mostly went away.
The problem, I think, is the restrictions that not having a compilation step places on what typing you can do without a big breaking change. Typescript didn't have this problem because everyone already used bundlers/minifiers/etc. Adding another compiler like step to that process was pretty natural.

Ruby doesn't have that and adding it in poses problems for REPL development. They chose to go with a separate file for types. Which gets around the breaking change problem but the ergonomics are terrible. Think the hope is that IDE support eventually gets around that issue. But thus far not a whole lot of adoption.
As inflation falls, eggs are a high-priced outlier
Perhaps an overly simplistic view but heres my take on it:

"You get into STEM by studying, you get into art by doing"

Im a software engineer by trade, Ive also done a bit of hardware work at another time in my life. I consider my self an engineer both in what I enjoy and what I do professionally. However I also play a half a dozen instruments, shoot process and print wet film, enjoy analog audio recording process' and have done a lot of live sound work for theater productions over the years. I fancy my self a half decent carpenter and have built at least one boat that floats and is useable. People have described me as "artistic" but you will have to take their word for it.

Anyway... Some thoughts in no particular order:

- Art, FWIW is sometimes about being shameless to try and create something you like

- I photograph what I enjoy, some times other people like my photographs, sometimes they don't many hang in my residence, some hang in others if they have asked for prints over the years.

- You can create most art forms for cheap or free if you are careful

- Getting over the initial "frustration" hump can be the biggest hurdle, I still cant really play the banjo yet...

- Gravitate to something that seems interesting to you, just because your friend really likes watercolors does not mean that is the art form you must partake in.

- Use the resources at your disposal, in my experience most artists or really anyone passionate is more than willing to share their knowledge with you.

Practical advice on doing:

- In the modern world you can get cheap supplies to at least test the waters on anything

- If you have $100 you can probs do anything you want

- A half decent film camera and a few rolls of film with processing can easily be had for $100

- There are plenty of cheapo guitars that work perfectly and can be had for $100 buy used and your more than likely to snipe a sweet deal.

- You can get a basic paint set, brushes, and some canvas for <$100

- paper and pencil can be had for WAY less than $100 (yeah yeah I know theres fancy paper too)

- If you live in or near a city (or really anywhere) many art galleries are free to the public to walk around, some offer lectures with artists or other similar events that anyone can go to. Public libraries and museums often have similar things you can take advantage of for free or cheap and spend some time near or with some really famous individuals. Go to these things, if you don't like what you see, hang for a bit, learn, leave a better person, keep going until you find what you like

- Youtube, oh man the endless tutorials, free lessons, how-to's, helpful advice, creative work you can see for free. Youtube is your friend, youtube is one of the great art resources of the era.

Chances are the only thing at the moment keeping you from creating art is you.

How about some more turn-of-phrase-quotes:

"Engineering is about separating the signal from the noise, art is an outlet for the noise"

"If Your first 10,000 photos are your worst, send a crew of engineers to the Hubble to fix the mirror"

"Somewhere between art and engineering is a reasonable salary"
I am not an artist, but I also recently realized why I am not an artist.

Creating a visual piece of art involves three processes.

1) Visualize what you want the final piece to resemble and amend that mental image until you consider the project finished. This involves framing, aspect ratio, and other compositional techniques.

2) Transpose 3D into 2D using highlights and shadows.

3) Render your vision using appropriate materials and techniques.

We learn how to render but not emphasis is on the first two parts. They are usually chalked up to "innate talent".

Photography enables you to skip the rendering process and focus on the first two. I learned more about how to render what I envisioned after studying highlights and shadows in my photographs.

Therefore, start taking pictures in the art style you found interesting in other art forms.
Might be useful when an image url is embedded in another page (like notion for instance), that it become a two-step workflow, so you have to go back to your Plus dashboard and allowlist that specific page that is the requestor.

That way, if someone takes the url of the image and shares it, it doesn't work without the owner allowing it again.

Of course, this isn't meant as a security measure as it would be trivially simple to circumvent, but more of a way of keeping track of the general surface area of how widely shared and image and putting the power in the users hands to reign it in.
That assumes that the person coordinating didn't get whacked because they were involved in the wrong part of a different operation
Very neat.

I'd really like something like this for systemd units. On embedded systems you want to have confidence that any permitted ordering will result in a working system - as there'll be no-one there to restart it if not.
There might be a number of reasons why YJIT isn't effective in your application.

The best way to know it to enable YJIT runtime statistics [0] to see whether YJIT is doing a lot of side exits and if so why. But it requires a bit of YJIT knowledge to interpret them.

It's also entirely possible that your application isn't CPU bound in the first place, or that it's bottlenecked by things YJIT can't do anything about (e.g. GVL).

That's close to impossible to guess what it might be without being able to instrument the application.

Looking around I see something like 6mi per disengagement [1] which, yes, is unacceptably high. The video is probably about 2mi, which naively would give 1:3. But disengagements have a large amount of precaution, so this isn't an accident rate. And some accidents wouldn't be ones they'd need to be public about, like the one in testing which only came out years later.

> Same thing regarding a growing number of women too but men don't have the same support structure as women do.

I’m a woman and I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about here.

Regardless, I’ve struggled with intense social anxiety and loneliness since about 13.

The only long-term ”solutions” I’ve found that help have been: having a partner, good relationships with my family and joining a club (in my case, a football club) that has recurring sessions weekly.

Obviously, the latter is something that’s more easy to “engineer” than the first two.

So my only advice is to find or start a club or interest group that regularly meets. I’ve found that groups on Meetup often don’t have the same group if people attending. So rather search for local sports groups or community groups where you’ll meet some of the same people week after week and be able to build relationships with them over time.
I was picturing someone with an electron microscope, scanning the most minute of things...

I believe PapaParse, a JS library for parsing CSV files, uses Content-Range to stream large CSV files in chunks.

I had the 24" 1920x1200 Apple Cinema Display for several years, and I vividly remember that text looked objectively worse after I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite.

I now use a 27" 1440p monitor and I'm always struck by how bad text looks on it compared to my 2009 MBP that's stuck on Mavericks until it dies (not due to text reasons, it's just slow as hell/no benefits to upgrading).

They did something that was relevant to 1x displays, because it used to be better.
Wholeheartedly agree. It's the most awful bay area echo chamber nonsense.

Sorry for the negativity!
Would you want it if it offered you control and transparency?

Like, how would you feel about someone taking care of the heavy lifting of API integration and GUI automation and then letting you as an individual choose how to extend or automate your workflow? Like through a developer API? Perhaps connectable to AI models with transparent inputs and outputs and that you can override or customize yourself?
