I think it could be done with coordinated license requirement changes. Make most trucks/SUVs require a higher more rigorous license class based on height/weight, grandfather in existing vehicles for now. But if you want to register the 2030 9 ton Hummer EV you better be able to prove you can safely drive the thing and won't park near the intersection just because it's Sunday and you won't get a ticket.

Of course that will never happen so you're right...
I think one of the biggest improvement points of 5G, which most people don't notice, is that it improves the number of devices that can connect to the local cell tower.

With 4G, you get 100k device connections per 1 sq kilometer.

With 5G, this number becomes 1 million connections per square kilometer.

This is a very big deal if you are in a heavily congested area (big cities, major league sporting events). Also a very big deal to high priority services (like police radios, emergency services, etc), as it goes a long way to ensuring connections are available.

Also goes a long way to delivering on the promise of IoT... with 1 million connections a lot more things become possible.

It's more of an evolutionary tech, than revolutionary. Then again, 5G means means 5th generation... implying the evolutionary process. The average user won't notice it, but its still important nonetheless.
How do they react when you confront them with your own experience of parents never telling you to expect racism and thus never encountering it in any meaningful sense? This should not be possible according to the narrative unless you were living in that one special area where systemic racism did not exist, i.e. Utopia. Even more interesting is to know how they react when confronted with the fact that their narrative leads people to believe their fate to be preordained in that they will always be held back. The '...so why even try...' is tacked on through countless programs aiming for 'equity' - equality of outcome - where the state will provide for those who fail to do so by themselves. It is here where people make careers based on the narrative, here in this 'welfare-industrial complex' (to paraphrase Eisenhower) which grows as large as it is allowed to grow. The larger it grows, the more people have their livelihood staked on its existence either through employment or by being recipients of its handouts. This large group of people has an incentive to vote for those who promise to keep up the narrative which in turn ensures that even more young people are caught in its snares by being convinced they do not have any chance to succeed 'so why even try'. It is a vicious circle which needs to be stopped somehow, the narrative needs to be punctured and those caught by it need to be shown they can succeed without the need for government-enforced 'equity'.
I think the lack of head of line blocking could be useful for SSH session multiplexing when using it as an ad hoc VPN.
A tool called "diff modulo base": https://git.sr.ht/~nhaehnle/diff-modulo-base

Given two version (old and new) of a Git change (i.e., individual commit or patch series from a pull request) it produces a diff that is actually useful for reviewing purposes, assuming you've already reviewed the old version of the change.

It's sort of like `git range-diff`, but where `git range-diff` produces a "diff of diffs" that is very hard to impossible to read, this tool gives you a direct diff between old and new versions, but filters out any irrelevant changes that were introduced because the author rebased on a more recent version of the target branch.

I hope that makes sense - I never know quite how to put it into words for somebody to understand who isn't intimately familiar with Git. It is very powerful though if you combine it with a minimal amount of setup e.g. for fetching all PR branches from a GitHub repository. I use it almost daily as part of my code review workflow.
Postgres has pgvector. It’s awesome.
a soil moisture sensor using capacitors as the sensor. it's how i learned to code. i found a few different versions of the project online. couldn't get them to work very well but i was able to piece together enough knowledge of basic circuits to get the sensor to work well with my own circuit design.

once i got it to work, i left it on my desk for a few months and then cleaned it up/removed the circuit. only documented the circuit by a couple of bad photographs, so i'm not sure how to recreate it. i might could figure it out again if i spent the time, but i've been focused on other projects.

The argument is not that performance optimization does not matter at all, but rather than low-level performance optimization, like rewriting compilers, writing your own custom storage system, or rewriting it in unreadable speed-optimized C++ is worth it.

You don't need to do a deep analysis to tell if optimization is needed or not, it is enough to assume best-case improvements and compare it to your FTE + overhead cost.

Do you have many of your servers run CPU-bound C++ apps you wrote? If not, don't bother eliminating class hierarchies, optimize your core logic instead.

Do your webapps spend most time waiting on database and microservices? See if you can eliminate or cache those, the wins are going to be much bigger than rewriting it in Rust.

Is your GraphQL compiler too slow? Unless you are FAANG with hundreds of thosands of developers and hundreds of people to spare, you will get much more bang-for-the-buck with some smart caching or just getting a bigger machine for CI jobs.

According to levels.fyi, the average senior SW engineer in San Francisco is $312k/year. With overhead, the actual cost is likely $500k/yer or so. There is _a lot_ of servers you can buy for that money before you can justify maintaining your own custom version of the existing software solution.
>Most action movies don't require you to think too much about what's going on, and that's fine, imo.

I beg to differ. If your hero is vulnerable, then the stakes are high and you're always on the edge of your seat throughout the fights as you don't know whether he'll make it out alive or not. But when your hero has some magic bullshit armor that makes him invulnerable, then the audience stop caring about his fights because you know for sure he's invincible anyway and the fights just seem pointless and forgettable no matter how flashy they are.

Take the first Matrix movie of 1999 also with Keanu Reeves. When Neo was fighting Agent Smith in the subway, the whole theater was dead silent because Neo was just a man going up against an invulnerable foe, and that was exciting, but in the sequels when Neo became this invulnerable Superman, people were much less invested even though the fights were flashier, because the stakes were much lower since he's now basically invincible so nobody can hurt him anyway.

It's like playing videogames with God mode on. Nobody cares if you win.

Honestly I'm not even sure they're going to do more than unceremoniously kill Thufir off in the background. But it's possible that they took the first movie as a chance to explore Arrakis, and will take the second to explore the broader galaxy and its politics, players, and philosophies.

We still haven't met the Emperor or his Daughter, the Imperial Court (beyond an emissary. No dinner party means no Fenrig and Margot), the Guild (as political players) CHOAM? (I forget if it's even mentioned). All of these could be worked in (and it seems like they will be given we see casting of Irulan at the very least), but you can imagine a version of the story that is less concerned with the broader politicking than it is with the action on Arrakis.

They also fundamentally changed the nature of Kynes' death. So it is possible they are not even interested in (or, to be kinder, that they feel they don't have time for) the planetological lifecycle of the worms and the spice. That it will serve only as a mcguffin. But that's pure speculation.
Yes, the author is confused.

This factory produces black-powder, which is a mixture of charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter.

All modern ammunition uses smokeless powder, which is stabilized nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin.

(This confusion likely is due to the term gunpowder, which when used as a technical term only refers to black-powder. Unfortunately it is also used colloquially to mean any kind of explosive powder put into cartridges that are detonated to launch projectiles from guns. In this sense of gunpowder, almost all of it is smokeless powder, and thus its colloquial meaning is almost completely at odds with its technical meaning.)

To my knowledge, the US military does not rely on blackpowder in any meaningful way. Even if my knowledge is incomplete and they do depend on it in some odd way (e.g. I suppose they might have a pre-existing inventory of weapons designed to use black powder primers, where it is cheaper to keep sourcing black powder rather than retrofit the weapons to use smokeless powder primers) there are several corporations manufacturing large quantities of 1:1 black powder substitutes.

I’ve been playing around here a bit. One feature is that documents have embeddings stored at index time which means that query performance is quite good. Another is that the model you’re using to embed and query can be changed and configured based on specific use cases. A pretty cool feature of Marqo is multi-statement queries that let you search for multiple positive queries and even include negative queries to filter out results.

Overall I’m really enjoying the tech.

I bought one of these LED screens (you get 64*32px, so not a lot!), and I wrote an app to view my local surf conditions on it (so I know what I'm missing out on while working). But because it doesn't support a way to run local apps that fetch from APIs, I had to add a way to show the forecast for other spots and make it "official". No idea how many people use it, but I saw it on instagram ads so that was some kind of validation haha. It looks like this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FMi996lVIAAQMI3?format=jpg&name=...

About 8 years back, I was leading an engineering team which was the escalation path for customer support. We were sitting on a large corpus of support tickets but didn't have any insights. I was amazed when word2vec came out and blew my mind. So I built a language model that trained on support ticket data. I modeled system logs attached to support tickets as an NLP model to predict what was going to fail next and for which customer.

Never made it to prod but was a great tool for me to see where I want to budget my team's time.

This is way before all the LLM and Generator models, but it was such a fun project.
That quick response is indicative that E2EE might have been on the roadmap already. It's a bunch of trade-offs:

- Keep things as they are

- Avoid TOTP data getting lost with lost passwords

- Avoid TOTP data getting distributed when the Google-side backup ends up becoming public

Maybe this might have been a suitable situation for a "beta" label, though: "We have this, it offers advantages, it has caveats, if you don't care about them, feel free to sign up, otherwise wait until we sorted it out."

> If you look at history - the British Crown started making their own gunpowder at the Tower of London, in the middle of the 13th Century. The British Board of Ordnance was formally constituted in 1683, by HRM King Charles the Second.

This is true, but is far more about the scarcity of saltpeter at the time than anything else.
>OK so what is the ideal solution in your opinion?

Cheeky answer: The ideal solution is a smartphone. It has no keyboard. You don't have to worry about keybindings at all anymore.

Real answer: There isn't one. Once apps can do their own keyboard handling and make their own keybindings, any hope of making a clean solution goes out the window. It's hacks upon hacks from there on, because anything a new app does could potentially conflict with your settings. The Mac solution isn't perfect either but is definitely more flexible and less broken than key themes.

>You don't need to draw a menu bar on the screen in order to keep track of the actions that the app exposes to the user.

Yes, you're correct. GNOME apps could use the app menu API anyway, the menu wouldn't be visible, but some settings GUI could look at the information exposed by the API and use that to do other things. In practice they don't use that API at all because it has no visible effect for GNOME users, and it's not very compelling to require them to use an API that only adds some actions that are hidden away in a settings panel somewhere. Sure you could change this. But you have to convince every app developer it's a good idea to start doing it when they've already taken a lot of steps to move away from menu bars. Including completely removing them from the HIG. I'm not trying to say this is impossible but it's a major change that will affect every app, and you would have needed to do something similar anyway if you were trying to fix key themes to not be so broken.

>But it wasn't, and that's my entire point. It's your choice to do something that supports and empowers the user, or to throw a wrench in the cogwheels.

No, I've seen plenty of apps where Copy with nothing selected takes some reasonable action. Like if you pressed it after opening a dialog displaying a short document, it could copy the entire document for convenience. I can't say no one will ever come up with some reason to do this in a terminal. If it's a Mac terminal, they have few incentives not to because there isn't a key conflict by default with Ctrl-C. If you go around changing your keybindings and you break that, it's on you. Then you probably want to change it back after you find out it's broken. No one can predict what an app will do, that's the point of letting them handle their own keybindings.

>And if the developer chooses to ignore the needs of their user, the user is free to go somewhere else.

By all means, if you like the way Mac handles this, you should use a Mac. Different operating systems are different for a reason.
> Put them in your wallet.

I don't have space in my wallet for them, personally. By design. It improved my daily life more than I expected when I stopped using my wallet to carry more than the absolute essentials.
Please take a look at the lectures, indeed culture is influential in individual behavior but culture is often used as a cover for more nefarious iniquities. Culture is often also a product of these. So when we talk about culture to dismiss why wealth gaps or injustices are important, then we are distracting from root causes.

Penny Arcade got in hot water over a strip for being a "rape joke" that only worked if you agreed that rape is pretty much the worst thing a person can experience multiple times without necessarily dying. Like, the joke works better the worse you think rape is, it's not making light of it at all, both for the overall point of the strip and for the incongruity-based humor of the specific way the situation is phrased to land, but they got in trouble anyway (then reacted defiantly in a classical-Internet manner, like "well that's obviously fucking ridiculous, so we're going to double down to mock how plainly absurd you're being" which just made things worse, because they didn't yet understand how modern Internet mobs work, which were juuuust starting to really become A Thing right around then)

There's a huge gap in having non-Comic/non-Superpower/non-SciFi action movies.

I'm a big SNL nerd and have favorite sketches/memories going back over 30 years. I find it very rewatchable, but streaming services don't have full episodes, and even downloading full episodes wouldn't make it easy to find individual sketches. So I built a Plex library of over 500 individual sketches using some automation.

I used yt-dlp to download the metadata for over 6,000 videos on the SNL Youtube channel. I put it into a database, parsing out season/episode into fields where possible. Then I wrote a small Flask app to search or browse seasons/episodes, from which I could flag for download the sketches I wanted.

Still more believable than Matrix style bullet dodging, though.
