It's not just another wankel engine tho, it's significant modification to the idea and comes with few interesting improvements (and some other drawbacks).

Basically, the intake and exhaust is delivered thru the rotor, not ports on the sides, and the seals (the achilles heel of the wankel engines are on the outside of it which in theory would make it possible to both replace them without taking apart whole engine, and oil them directly, without putting oil into fuel.

The bad part of it is that it would probably be pretty hard to make multi-rotor one

Cooking on induction at moderate temperature does not seem to produce significant particulate pollution. Source: I have a stove, and I have a portable PM2.5 meter.

So you can simmer a stock for a couple hours without needing to run the fan (and cook most anything under 300 degrees or so), and with the fan off you don’t lose nice conditioned air from inside.
I'm biased as I hate what google slowly started to do once they got their mitts on android.

I was a late android user, in 2015 or so given a 2011 phone and marvelled at it's power compared to my old desktop. Want to do stuff, no worries, swap files around between sd media, no worries, and so much more it was basically a hand held computer except I didn't have root access but I was so impressed when I got the opportunity to buy a couple more reasonably cheap newer android phones ... semi usable is how I'd describe my experience, the latest being used only as a phone and camera ... when I turn it on ... since it was the one the only way to empty junk ad files in it's limited memory was a hard factory reset, no cleaning tool could do it before it simply ran out of memory ... note it was not a Samsung like my first phone that was gifted to me.

The big killer was no wifi connection app for 2018 phone could be found that connected to free wifi with login connection (ie the native one was not going to play second fiddle) ... while 2012 software on a laptop copes.

Basically google could loosen their grip a bit, and not try to run one's phone from the shadows ... or not, but what do I care, mine sit in the dark 99.9% of the time turned off.
There is some evidence that the skyrocketing asthma rates are due to natural gas.

> The British ran the empire with famously small numbers of actual Brits on the ground, using armies mostly raised from local populations and training up the local civil service from local recruits.

That was in the colonies – they didn't encourage immigration from the colonies (especially the non-settler ones) to the metropole. And when that started happening in large numbers anyway, they introduced the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962 – which denied UK citizens the right to enter and remain in the metropolitan UK unless they or their ancestors had been born there, or they were exempted as "desirable" (professionals). At the time, that Act was widely condemned as racist legislation, and it is hard to see how it was compatible with Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

> And that legacy lives in. The current Prime Minister of the UK is now Indian, his counterpart in Scotland is Pakistani, and the British are one of the least racist countries in the world:

There has been a massive change in UK attitudes on this topic since the 1960s. A big driver for that was Labour's victory in the 1964 election – while the Tories passed racist legislation such as that 1962 Act, Labour responded with anti-racist legislation such as the Race Relations Act 1965. They didn't repeal the 1962 Act however (despite having condemned it as racist while in opposition), indeed they strengthened it with the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1968 and the Immigration Act 1971. But, all that's irrelevant to the history of the Empire, since the Empire was officially dead by then, and unofficially either dead or pretty close thereto.

At the height of the Empire, the UK was a lot more racist than it is today. It wasn't as racist as the US or South Africa–but that's not saying much. The UK of the 2020s has no problem with a Prime Minister of Indian descent – do you really think the UK of the 1920s would have had no problem with that?

4M per botable hour used to be really high circa 2022 on 'bottable' accounts, which don't require insane man-hours to reach. So I guess it depends on scale.

Regarding SOTA: yes it's interesting seeing the mobile-based clients to overtake the scene due to lower detectability/enforcement and resources usage. But when I was in the scene a big question was on client detactability, which nudged some to employ computer vision and screen-scrapping as opposed to fiddling with client code and spoofing official client. I wonder if this question has been settled.

Yes — my point was the narrow one:

That it’s very strange that SF (and Seattle) are so much wealthier and developed, but I routinely see organized retail crime in those cities — but not in much poorer countries, who maintain a stricter social order.
There are several different “national” variations of ebcdic as well as double byte encodings. IBM was all about selling, and their customers had deep pockets.
The rocket engines are not just steel, but the alloys they are made of are pretty tough, they would not be pulverized. Almost all of Starship is made of stainless steel, though. There's little or no fancy carbon fiber, etc.

But there is one possible component that could in fact result in small debris and dust blown miles away from launch: The heat shield tiles.
Alright, did I tell my college sysadmin story already? This is the perfect place to drop it.

1990, freshman in college, Pascal class on AT&T Unix SVR3 3B2 cluster named "earth", "wind", and "fire". We'd just learned our way around "vi" and how to "uvapc" our Pascal source into a.out.

I discovered anonymous ftp, and "make", and I quickly rose to become the gaming king of Pascal class. I had ularn, nethack, megs and megs of games crammed in my no-quota $HOME, and I'd opened permissions for everyone else to access and play them. I often chit-chatted with a classmate or two over "write" or "ytalk".

Not content to merely play games, I became mischievous with the system and its inner workings. I created a .profile and a .plan, the latter of which used VT100 cursor escape sequences to self-modify the screen, such as changing my $HOME to "/" and I also made a boastful comment about having root access.

It was all in good fun, and then came the day that I discovered /etc/passwd and I attempted to "su" to every single system account I found listed. I mean some of their passwords were just "*" so they must've been wide open!!1

I soon received ominous, chilling email from the unseen sysadmin of the whole cluster. He described to me everything I'd done up to this point, and he informed me that saying I have root access is like telling airport officials that I have a bomb. That point definitely drove it home to me as a young and dumb hacker.

So, for the rest of my short college career, while I did some silly "extra-curricular" things with my own compute resources, I was careful to not try and break system security, or even say that I had, for fear of the wrath of the unseen sysadmin.
> They're also effectively impossible to maintain consistently without medication.

This is key. As someone with bipolar disorder, I'm forever stuck in a cycle of stable with good habits -> episode happens -> can't keep the habits -> get worse -> medication changes/episode passes on its own -> I go back to good habits -> stable...

With mental illness you never know when it's going to act up and ruin your life, so the least you can do is use your energy - when you have it - to keep your body in a decent baseline.

Thankfully, this cycle takes many months to start again, so I live a decent life most of the time.

Kinda, kinda not, they have been proven to be vulnerable to mishandling. They have few quirks and require a bit different handling than normal engine, which means that someone treating it as any other car. But at some point it will need to have engine out job and replace apex seals.

In motorsports it proven to be very reliable for example.

> IIRC even the more refined Renesis engine on the RX-8 seems to have been proven to be ornery.

Renesis was evolution in performance but IIRC had some quirks that weren't solved because the car stopped being produced. IIRC the modern apex seals with modern materials do a pretty good job. It also have oil metering pump which just...stole the engine oil and put it into fuel (which was required to oil the seals), which means if you were not on top of filling oil up, you could end up starving the engine. It wasn't a good idea either as 2 stroke oil was better for that use case, so many people removed the metering pump and just added some 2 stroke to the fuel tank every time they filled up
Benefit of doubt; they're likely using it as shorthand for 'equivalent to turboprop style/class engine' as an established feature set to have a drop in alternative to.
> The odds are slim but it’s important to pursue your dreams even if it is a gamble. The cost of not doing so is higher than you might thing.

Can you elaborate on what the cost is? Because there are a lot of cases that I can see where reevaluating your dreams might be a much better bet than pursuing them. I don't think it's a given that your dreams have any inherent value to them, nor that achieving them would make you happy.

I know someone who can't imagine pursuing a different career than being an Astronomy professor. He's still an undergrad at a middle-tier university and is consistently a C-grade student with a particular weakness in math, which is a major problem for what is essentially a Physics degree. Even if he succeeds at getting into a decent graduate school and getting a PhD (not a guarantee given how hard his undergrad has been for him), he'll be competing for a very small number of professorships that are available in Astronomy, and he'll be up against people who did much better in their undergrad and got into much better grad schools. And if he does beat all the odds and manage to land this professorship, will he just end up hating his career as much as he's hated school up until this point?

Is it still important for him to pursue his dream? Or is it time for him to cut his losses and find something else that interests him and is within reach?
"talk" was often bugged (and IIRC, used UDP) so it was soon updated by xtalk and then ytalk. ytalk was like the kitchen sink of talk, with a huge feature set and compatibility with everything that went before. Everyone had to get ytalk for sure.

As far as I can tell this point about the benefits of fixed point is very confused. The difference here is entirely because they use fixed point numbers with higher precision than the precision of standard floats. You could get the same benefit with higher-precision floats (and then also be able to represent large or small numbers). So this has nothing to do with the merits of different ways of storing your numbers. I have nothing against fixed point where appropriate, but this is not a good argument.

Besides, they show at the end that increasing the precision doesn't solve the problem, just delays it.

"A better implementation will require careful use of the Decimal package in Python."

No: a better implementation requires careful analysis of why/when rounding becomes a problem, and designing your algorithm to mitigate that.

EDIT: I just had a glance at the decimal library in python and it looks like this python "fixed point" implementation doesn't even use fixed point: it's just a decimal float. (Though correct me if I'm wrong).
The usual argument is you need a metric and a check metric that can catch gaming the first. Eg unit sales and mean price per sale — the latter preventing a race to the bottom on price point.
It's rotary. There are no strokes in it.
I don’t know the paper, but this sounds like Goodhart’s Law - when you try to optimize a system by optimizing for a proxy for the outcome you want, the proxy measurement will stop being a good proxy because the system will be optimized around the proxy instead of whatever you actually wanted.
It stopped working in safari too (for picking items from the dropdown of suggestions when you type into the address bar). Even if you edit `DefaultKeybinding.dict`, some of the bindings just don't take. Also broken in some places is 'alt-b' and 'alt-f' for forward and backward word movement. I've been remedying this with BetterTouchTool, but it isn't the same in some places.

There's also an uphill climb in terms of expected ROI. Apple requires all Apple accounts to have a payment method linked. Apple customers tend to spend more. iPhones have a shorter list of models to test against.

I’m confused by this comment. How are private members part of the class interface? They are internal, not exposed to the outside, so how can they be part of the interface, which by definition is what the class exposes to the outside?
Browser ports can't integrate at OS level, they're intentionally separated today, but given that e.g. Node.js has WebUSB support (https://github.com/node-usb/node-usb), I guess you could make a layer that exposes such Wasm drivers as native to the OS. Could be a fun experiment.

VLC has a setting to pause videos when they reach the end, instead of stopping them. Depending on how your system is set up, this might prevent the flashing.
Wait, is this implementation just wrong? The "num_channel" is the embed_d, the K, Q should be applied to every embedded vector, here the embedded vector has length 1 so K, Q and V should be a single scalar and being applied like torch.matmul(x_i, self.K) [sequence_dim, 1] x [1, 1], this is also intuitive because the sequence can have different size and self attention needs to work anyway.

If you want insead treat the "num_inputs" as embed_d then the attention matrix W would be 1x1 because there is only one 768 vector but instead the matrix W here is [ num_inputs, num_inputs ].

I'm not sure I agree with everything in this article, but it makes some good general points about the decline of Britain.

The elites have lost interest in actually governing. They are primarily rent seeking, taking as much as they can for themselves while the nation slowly sinks.

This isn't quite right; the University of Chicago study replicates what has already been known for a long time - that musicians can develop their pitch memory around the timbral context clues of a particular instrument. However, this learned pitch does not generalize to other instruments and/or common everyday sounds (train horns, washing machine vibrations) in the way that people with absolute pitch can instantly identify.

An analogy to this might be that a colorblind person if shown enough fabric and told what the colors were can eventually associate the texture of the fabric with a given color and can learn to do this translating in their head, but they will not be able to train their eyes to see color no matter how much practice takes place.

Rick Beato covers the subject rather well in his video "Why Adults Can't Develop Perfect Pitch" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=816VLQNdPMM

If it were the case that such a substantial number of amateur test subjects could develop absolute pitch from doing a few exercises, we would expect to see commensurate numbers of musicians who spend thousands of hours playing music to also develop this skill, but this is not and has never been the case.
I was a radio ham in the early 70s used to hang out with some guys who were snarfing weather satellite data - essentially it worked this way - the satellites passed over and either spun along their axis or had a spinning sensor - that made a continual FSK signal (think a FAX signal, because it was intended to be downlinked to actual early fax machines) - we'd calculate the pass time and grab it on a big yagi steerwd manually (by listening to the noise floor).

In a dark room it would be played onto a TV screen with a very slow horizontal rate, vertical retrace would be done manually with a switch and the vertical increments were extracted form the signal. In front of the TV we'd place a bunch of cameras, we'd open the shutter at the start of the pass and close them at the end. At the end of the night we'd develop the film - the meteorology people who'd paid hundreds of thousands of $$ for ground stations were pissed that we were getting better quality images than their fax machines.

Also around midniught local time (in NZ) we'd pick up processed world images - 4 around each pole and 4 around the equator, with the country boundaries overlaid, and the communist countries carefully whited out
