here are some selling points of the app:

- faithful support of many photoshop file formats. These formats can be considered industry standard and only half a handful of apps (excluding gimp) support them. These are:
psd (ps document)
csh(shapes)
asl(layer styles)
grd(gradients)
pat(patterns)
ase(swatches)

- accurate rendering of layer styles: These are non-destructive effects on layers such as drop-shadow or stroke. Many apps just import ps layers as images. cpphoto they remain editable.

- accurate rendering of ps adjustment layers: like layer styles they are non destructive (like contrast or color adjustments) and remain editable. Adjustment layers include gradient, pattern and solidcolor layers.

- accurate rendering, editing and transforming of text layers: ps text layers are often imported as images in 3rd party apps and thus not editable. Text layers are loaded as editable text in cpphoto. They can be transformed and warped non-destructively.
A huge library of free fonts is included and could be easily extended.

- loading, editing of ps vector shapes: basic shapes are supported via pen and path tools. a library of free shapes is included and additional shapes in csh format can be loaded.

It is important to note that ps formats are widely used and shared asset formats. There are huge libraries and they can be used immediately in cpphoto.

Generally, as a web app, cpphoto runs in any desktop browser and needs no installations or updates. It could be easily integrated into any web service or platform. It is developed as modular typescript application with no external dependencies.

spin, bin, and pin rhyme to me an a native English speaker. Are you sure westerners say ghee “wrong” and not just with a different accent?
One thing that surprised me reading the article is that Boca Chica doesn't have a water deluge system. I somehow expected that this would be standard once development moves beyond the early prototypes.

If the noise levels are off by 20 decibels compared to the expected limits used for the application, that seems like a very valid complaint. I cannot judge how reliable the cited measurement is though.
I know people who got laid off at my company who are trying to stay tied into that company however they can.

If you're a contractor for now, fine. You still get to maintain and build new connections to try to get back into an FTE role later on, hopefully at the end of the day this being a minor speedbump in your career.

I can appreciate the thinking. I might actually choose that path if it happens to me.
In terms of measurable outcome, what does "catastrophic" mean? At some point, language about everything has transformed into having zero dynamic range. Everything is either a disaster or nothing.

And considering high rises by the sea side, scooters on sidewalks, and bike lanes are all "catastrophic". It would be useful to get a scale here that is continuous non-binary-value.

For instance, if it's as bad as the article's claim that the FAA's failed to hold a bilingual hearing, I'm not really that concerned. Lack of bilingual hearings don't rise to the level of disaster, by my reckoning.
The idea is that the companies most efficient at delivering contracts (missiles, planes, bombs) stay in business and the less efficient go out of business. This does require corruption remain out of the bid process...
It doesn’t seem like this article considers any benefits from allowing this launch or specifies a threshold of damage under which the author would be okay with allowing the launch.

In general, doing things like developing the capacity to launch very large payloads to space will come with costs. We wouldn’t be able to do any such things if we weren’t willing to pay those costs to get the benefits.
Nah, it should be like notifications. You can set a global block on those. Same should apply to these cookie consent things. You set what you want to keep and enjoy a popup free web.

AFAIK, the biggest of the biggest such as Lockheed, do not have public products.

Actually, they do have a public product - it's called "corruption". They take taxpayer money intended for R&D, and instead use it to lobby the government to funnel more and more taxpayer money into their pockets each year. The public gets screwed and the large contractors get to walk away and buy more politicians.
Y'all with your fancy 220v electricity can get it hot a lot faster. In America where your dishwasher can only pull 1,800 w you have to hook it up to hot water.

I believe most modern dishwashers simply sense the incoming water temp though and basically just pump the water through until they get to hot water.
The noise of the fanboys and bots will drown out the critics.

You are probably right in theory, but I think all serious plans I have seen to switch to full renewable energy involved some reduction of the consumption. It's not that it's strictly necessary, but it's probably more practical in the short term at least.

Coming from the UK, I'd feel more inclined to listen to these ecological/environmental concerns if they weren't abused in such terrible ways. In general safety limits are calculated with significant error margins, so I'd take this kind of scary blog post about destroyed houses with a pinch of salt.

The other aspect to consider is that, as humans, we need space to work and live. This inevitably will come at the expense of the natural environment. Some species will suffer, some will suffer more than others. The only way around that is to tell people to stop having children, to stop living, and to stop advancing society. We have to balance all of these when we consider land utilisation.

I am far from convinced that this post takes a reasonable view of all these points. It is quite common for environmental extremists to make highly irrational decisions (germany shutting down nuclear plants in favour of coal?). Only one side of the argument seems to be considered in this post.

An old boss taught me that I should never oppose an action without having an alternative viable course to propose. I think those of us who care for the environment (I care, a lot) would advance the cause by following this advice.

Can you add some examples with different levels of recursion? It would be nice to see how the Fourier Transform changes when the level changes.

Is there something interesting at the limit when the recursion level is close to infinity?
You would think it has more to do with power than general inhumanity. These decisions are made by few for many and for profit. I personally don't let some few billionaires and the state stand in for my optimism for the humanity of the general population without those encumbrances
I would say another reason the sandwiches cost so much is because so many remain unsold.

You have to start with the assumption that things like this are only intended for the very well-heeled to begin with, particularly in this price range where the difference between about $2 and $20 is not actually significant to the buyer.

It is well-known that most travelers are not in this catagory, and plenty of millionaires will not ever spend close to $20 at the high end for something recognized as worth $2 at the low end. Even if they could do it without any financial pain.

Sometimes that's how they got to be millionaires anyway.

Anyway, you've got to have more than enough sandwiches for every one of the real high-rollers who might be passing through that day, you would never want to have less than enough.

Plus every now and then someone else will get hungry enough to bite.

There's no intention for there to be alternative choices which are more economical.

So a lot of the sandwiches are going to go to waste.

So they need to be able to afford to make enough to waste most of them.

Which could only result in spiraling costs.

Overpriced lower-quality outcomes follow greed in a self-fulfilling way when you do the math, but when all benefit is directed only to the greedy party, it does no-one any good since they are not capable of being fulfilled.

Apply this to so many other parts of the economy, and look what we have.

More greed and more waste to go with it, and ordinary workers can't afford what they once could.
Dynamic speed limits are a good idea, because they allow a global view of the system to be used to improve it. Otherwise the "optimum" behaviour of individual drivers to get there sooner is to go faster, which, in some conditions, produces congestion which slows everyone down.

However, I don't think everyone believes the limits are there for a good reason. Actual quote I once heard: "they're just playing silly buggers in their control room, ain't they, they don't know anything". Not helped by many other signs crying wolf about obstructions that often aren't there at all.

As for all-lane-running, casual observation of UK driving indicates to me that a blitz on driving standards[1] such as "keep left", "avoid making others brake" and "when you change lane or merge, it's your job to match your speed to the new lane"[2] would be a far quicker way to increase capacity and reduce accidents. And would cost substantially less than the billions spent on smart motorways.

[1]: especially as motorway driving isn't on the driving test and learners weren't allowed on motorways at all until 2018, so most drivers have never had any formal motorway training.

[2]: Not only cars: I see HGVs doing 58 diving into gaps in 70mph traffic (on two lane roads especially) and causing half a mile of brake lights and converting free flowing traffic into nose-to-tail queues every day.
Hey guys, i just published my project https://dubly.io, a AI based platform that translate and dubs your videos to any languages. Click the link and check it out for free.
If the FWS pressed the FAA and SpaceX to update their models and they refused, imo the FWS should have had the power to compel them to update their models.
I don’t think it was “a miracle” that non-Jews took risks to help people escape the Nazis. The movie Casablanca came out in 1942 and the plot was not at all confusing to the public.
The modern internet is deprived of ornamentation in the same way modern architecture is. Tiktok allready upped the speed and made a lot of the established web seem terribly boring. I truly hope that AI generated content is putting the final nail in the coffin and we start to see more creative and individualistic media landscapes thrive again. Hope dies last.
People should just stop making web pages for mobile. So many times I have had to force the desktop version of a page to actually get what I'm there for.
That was very much a "get this off my hands" sale. Lucas wanted to retire from running the company, to leave the day to day to others, so he'd be free to focus on the occasional story elements inbetween caring for his new child. I reckon the price was lower than it should have been, in exchange for informal promises of letting him hang around at will. Which they did, in fairness, although they ended up simply ignoring what he'd say.
What benefits come from doing it there instead of picking a more suitable place? What benefits come from this launch at all? It's just vainglory.
Yea these kinds of things pop up whenever people want to boot someone out. Look at the recent news about Clarence Thomas. Its just cancel culture in a more subversive manner that cant be labeled.
As I understand it, (I'm licensed to drive here, but I don't) the way this went down was:

1. Government adds more safety equipment to some test Motorways which allows monitoring lanes and separately varying limits per lane. Unsurprisingly this makes these motorways safer, let's say a factor of X.

2. Government converts hard shoulders into running lanes to save money on some test Motorways. Unsurprisingly this makes motorways more dangerous, let's say by a factor of Y.

3. Government argues that X/Y > 1, therefore adding safety equipment and converting hard shoulders into running lanes, would be on net an improvement. Conveniently the fact that they're doing this because it's cheaper is not mentioned.

We don't accept this sort of arithmetic in other contexts and we shouldn't here. Maybe adding safety equipment is too expensive to justify the reduced danger, but moving to all-lane running is unacceptably dangerous, so, you can't do that, regardless of whether somehow then the safety equipment is magically free.

Previous governments have chosen not to take up obvious safety improvements because they were too expensive. For example, trains in the UK all have the very simplest and oldest SPAD-prevention, the Automatic Warning System, which is activated by an electromagnet (well, technically a magnet which is deactivated by an electromagnet so as to fail safe) but doesn't distinguish between Danger (do not pass this signal) and Caution (expect to find the next signal at Danger) so drivers can get into a bad habit of reflexively cancelling it since they need to pass Caution signals on many routes all the time. Government could have required Automatic Train Protection, a more sophisticated but expensive system which was demonstrated on a small fraction of UK lines and they elected not to spend that money to do the rest. Today most passenger trains have TPWS (which is cheaper than ATP but fairly effective) and a few newer ones are starting to do ETCS (the European system which obviously has production scale benefits, you're buying off the shelf gear that's sold across the continent).

On the other hand, unlike not making them safer, making the roads more dangerous is clearly just a bad idea, and so it became politically harder to defend this practice, hence Rishi now scrapping it.
Wait... someone is doing something in America? We can't let this stand! I mean people might get ideas like building housing or transit without the required 20 years of paperwork!

People don't have much feel for sound decibels. This is going to be loud, but for context, both "The Who" and "Deep Purple" have played concerts that were louder than the sample and thunder (which animals are exposed to even in wildlife refuges) is literaly 100 times more sound energy.

Animals survive thunder.
What’s wrong with doing long division for fun?

I gave up trying to police people’s choice for fun. Let people watch baseball or ferret racing or whatnot.

Comically, I remember as a kid people telling me that reading a book was a waste of time. And asking why I would ever read something not assigned.

Someone will always think my thing is dumb. Someone is always smarter. Someone is always dumber.

So what. If it’s not harming themself or others, then I let it be.
i don't understand what you mean, the landing page is a table of contents.
It was actually a really successful model during WWII. A tank (or something) would be designed by one group and then 5-6 different manufacturers got a contract to manufacture it. We made tons of tanks at very competitive prices.

As the article points out, modern procurement is a different story.
The Artificial Intelligence Administration
Axie Infinity used a proof-of-authority side chain secured by a multisig bridge. It was not what most people refer to as L2s - which can achieve the same scalability as a side chain but with much stronger security properties (using validity or fraud proofs), and without compromising on decentralization.

There’s certainly a good case to be made for NFTs and blockchains in games, but you first have to overcome their associated stigma and misconceptions.
No wonder large scale projects in the west have atrophied with takes like this getting traction.
Everything will not be perfect the first time. Waiting for perfection guarantees that no progress is ever made. They’re going to launch, it’s going to do whatever it does (hopefully complete all test objectives!) and then we’ll have real data.

Armed with real data, SpaceX and the various agencies involved will determine the next steps. I’ll be surprised if some improvements are not needed/required. But arguing it to death without doing anything? That’s just civilization suicide.
There are already many taxes on all kinds of fuel for that reason.

It sounds like your real complaint is that the ticket should be taxed more, but I'd guess that your opinion extends to other kinds of transportation as well.
I mean, won't kids in your imaginary world have chores? Learning to cook or clean is also education (the alternative would be: ever heard of the anecdote of young adults who go to college and don't know how to do laundry?). Sadly for this remote part of Afghanistan in the next few years, practical education is probably going to be more useful compared to book education.

And maybe I'm just romanticizing the concept, but I imagine the kids would be mostly running around playing on the hotel grounds, and once in a while a bunch of travellers would show up, and the hotel caretaker would then yell for the kids to help prepare tea or food for them.
I think it's an amazing thing that you made this tool, and I thank you for caring about the privacy of your users.

If this is a tool you wish to sell/license/distribute, I think it might be worth taking a look at specific cohorts that would be interested in this -- namely, any business that takes a position that they care about their users should be using a more private analytic/telemetric tool - if using it at all. This is moreso true in the privacy sector but, in general, would probably relate to anything that gears more toward technically inclined users (who are aware of said data privacy issues).

It might be worth sharing usage of this to some of the privacy organizations/non profits [for free] and seeing if they would be willing to blog/talk about it to build awareness (which is reallllllllly important to help even come to a conclusion that this is fulfilling a need or is in search of a problem).

Often times we'll see companies (like amazon is an example) actually just make MVP stuff to simply see if anyone wants to use the product. Is that a solution in search of a problem -- I think more like a method of identifying whether ppl are looking for said solutions to problems.
Changes after 9/11 may have made leaks more likely
I went to dinner once with a sales guy and his junior sales engineer. We were joking around about how the sales department would say whatever to get the sale. The salesman corrected us: It's me with the big mouth, and I always tell my sales engineers to keep it straight, so they keep their credibility with the client.
Last Level Cache: Where It’s Bad to Be Inclusive
I find your choice of wording very telling here. Montañez is, by your description, being taken down by "little people" who accuse him of being, of all things, a mere flawed mortal like themselves.

And although you skirted the obvious implication by referencing his story as that not of a "big" man or even a great one but, instead, "famous" or "talented", indicating that you sympathize with the simplistic great man theory of history.
Curry used in the sense you're using it is derived from the Tamil word for "sauce".
According to the author, the FAA doesn't know what they're doing, SpaceX doesn't know what they're doing, the National Environmental Policy Act which exists solely to protect the environment in these scenarios apparently didn't work, but this uninvolved author somehow knows better than everyone that's actually involved. Their entire argument is apparently based around other articles that this person has written in the past, and I'm not interested in following the rabbit hole of conspiracies to see where it ends.

Computing infrastructure and UX is batch by default.

We don’t generally build or interact with continuous control systems, with one exception: Organic things

So humans, pets, “nature” are all “streaming” systems because they don’t have a set of discrete states to move between and adjust to feedback loops. You can reduce or segment organic action into states, but this is artificial compression.

The future IMO are streaming systems (with and MDP/REPL/OODA/RL… etc controls), as batch isn’t the way intelligent systems actually behave.
I prefer AI whisperer. Manager sounds so pedestrian.
Agree that this could be a fiasco if ESG Hound's claims turn out to be true.

But I would speculate that the design "failures" of too small buffer and lack of noise mitigation are more likely about SpaceX hoping to set precedent for their vision of frequent space access from everywhere.

I'll admit my enthusiasm for that vision is somewhat reduced after reading this article.
Outrageous, of course. Just another reason for productive citizens to leave CA.

The last thing I want is for the power company to be intimately involved in studying the details of my income and the income of those who are living with me!
In that case a more in-depth insight would be welcome.
It’s because so many websites have become generalized to become a platform to gain as large an audience as possible but that audience is splintering and decentralizing and there is nothing they will be able to do to draw them back to the gray zone

The same argument could be made for the deaths of humans, too. If you consider the consequences, are the deaths of 100 humans worth it to get interplanetary travel? Some people, maybe even you, would argue that it is indeed worth it.
