I mean... the ones that are any good are about twice that price. Ex: I personally prefer CUI encoders: https://www.cuidevices.com/amt-modular-encoders and they run about $50 each (with bulk ordering able to get you closer to $40).

But I think you're not really considering the problem space from all the appropriate angles.

Ex: The main reasons you avoid putting encoders on a 3d printer...

1. Weight - Hands down the biggest in most cases (excluding CoreXY setups). Each of those CUI encoders is about 16 grams. Total moving weight matters a lot in printer design. Go too high and you have to bulk up every other part of the machine to account for it and reduce shake/wobble and ensure you can maintain the correct accel. Or you have to print much slower, which makes the machine less capable (and valuable). It also adds wear and tear and increases friction.

2. Safety - They aren't worth very much in terms of safety. You can detect a lot of bad things by just setting sane current limits in your motor controllers. Combined with the thermal runaway protection available in most firmware... that covers most of the same things you can detect with encoders.

3. Value - Steppers are already incredibly precise. There is limited value in adding the extra encoder feedback into the system. Most of the cases where it matters are already detectable (and without any need for OpenCV...).

So encoders are nifty - but this isn't really the best case for using them. No big win and lots of downsides (not the least of which is the extra $150 for adding them - which is 50% of the total cost of my first printer).
Can't upvote this enough.

If the CIA was accountable to the public, even in the loosest and most vague sense, that list would have been released on day 1. "Hey citizens, here's a list of the people who have been recorded sleeping with under age girls (and boys). Most of these people are powerful individuals who are C-Suite or higher at multiple Fortune 100 companies, or are currently sitting in the Senate or House".

But because the intelligence agencies have their own goals and are unaccountable by nature to the public, that list will never see the light of day, and will be used by the CIA to advance the CIA's desired goals, while funded by the taxpayer.

There's a reason Kennedy wanted to disband the organization entirely.
> I've also speculated that eating together may enhance engagemen

Definitely definitely.

Even without eating. If it's just "seeing a face", then zoom might suffice -- and zoom might improve things.

But I think it's clear that actually being in the same physical space with other people is an important ingredient of building relationships of trust and respect. I imagine neuroscientists could do a lot of research into why, and I imagine it's not just one thing (like "seeing a face"), but fairly complicated. But from many people's experience, it seems pretty clear that it's true.

(And I agree eating together is special extremely powerful "magic" here -- which btw is/was another severe cost of people's covid pandemic habits of not eating with people they aren't already intimate with...)

Still, I've built relationships of respect and trust with people online too.

I think another thing going on is that when someone shows up with an agenda to abuse your trust, it's somewhat easier to detect face-to-face (which doesn't come close to meaning universally reliable; of course it is quite possible for manipulative and sociopathic people to show up face-to-face with agendas of abuse and get away with it).
“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what’s out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated … Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species.”

It's not a fake. It's just misattributed to Grace Hopper.

As for the claim that it's the origin of the word bug, that's just the typical exaggeration that befalls many stories. Memetic mutation turns everything into a story about superlatives. The text of the log book itself makes it clear that this is just the first time that the bug has been literally found, a comment that only makes sense if the phrase was already firmly established.

If you look the the world politics, basically if you hold enough nuclear weapons, you can do whatever you want to those who don't have them.

And based on the "dangers", new countries are prohibit to create them. And the countries which were quick enough to create them, holds all the power.

Their value is immeasurable especially for the Russia. Without them, they could not attack to Ukraine.

> non-proliferation treaties were a scam

And yes, they mostly are right now. Russia has backed from them. There are no real consequences if you are backing off, and you can do it in any time.

The parent commenter is most likely saying, that now the selected parties hold the power of AI, they want to prevent others to gain similar power, while maintaining all the value by themselves.

When I built my VR MMO in 2014 I experimented with very wide camera separation, it's very particular; makes things look very small and distant but they pop out much more. Like 3D on steroids + tilt shift.

I also experimented with twice the rendering speed to get as recent as possible sensor reading before the Valve/Oculus warping became standard and it was VERY good for nausea. So 120/150 FPS respectively on DK1/2.

I'm looking forward to pancake lenses, if they remove godrays so I can play my game again: http://aeonalpha.com

But I read there are a lot of tradeoffs with them too.

So far DK1/2 lenses with cups that you could change and adapt to your diopter where the best optics VR has had (but I got lucky with IPD and one cup on DK1 being my exact diopter!)

I wish one actor made super tiny glass lenses just so we could see how that would work!?

The fact that the FBI persists "as is" *and* doesn't change its way tells us one very important thing...to those who matter it's doing a great job. It's doing what it's supposed to be doing.

The FBI is similar to the economy. Many complain "...the economy isn't working..." But the economy is working. Quite well. And as designed, expected and desired. That is, the wealth is trickling up. More and more in less hands. Etc. It's working.

So the FBI is working as intended. Changing it would be fixing a symptom.

Note: I'm not siding with the FBI, only hoping to explain why its able to persist.

Yes, I agree; that's what I meant with "ego-centric". [1] is a good example: "It is OK to call it GNU when you want to be really short, but it is better to call it GNU/Linux so as to give Torvalds some credit". Seriously? Calling some Linux distro "GNU" is "OK"? How gracious that he wants to give this little upstart student from Finland "some credit" as well.

As for microcode: IMHO Stallman is just wrong about it. He's okay with the logic being in hardware or non-volatile ROM, but uploading the code to volatile RAM when the hardware starts is a huge problem? I don't follow that logic. Of course it would be better if this was open, but it's much less of a deal than he makes it out to be.

> Californians and New Yorkers and Minnesotans are moving to red states in droves.

Literally the same numbers as before the time frame. See how the number to Texas is a digit and not a percentage, because there has been no change.

Also the California population change is ridiculous, the biggest drop in people was out of state students/workers not coming in during 2020 and 2021.

The drop is entirely based on pandemic restrictions, by 2022 you can see the population line back to normal.

Just what I always wanted a 10K paper weight when they shut down like nest.
Your post seems to reinforce the article to me. There should already be people researching the customer/market. It seems redundant to have product do research and then have UI/UX also do that same research (as in your first example.)
But it leads ridiculous design decisions, like "I'm going to write 8MB of source code instead of doing the portability work on my own to turn that data into a linkable symbol".

Why is that ridiculous? It strikes me as not necessarily the best, but the most obvious approach, the most portable, and possibly the quickest to implement.

Your toolchain might have a special way to import binary blobs, but a) you’ll have to dig through the docs to find it, b) you’ll probably need to solve the problem again when porting to a different platform, and c) who knows if it actually works, or if there are hidden gotchas?

Sure, if there’s a known tool or option that does the job, you should go ahead and use it. But in general, writing a little script to generate a bunch of boilerplate code is perfectly workable.

Fiber is very cheap. Easily cheaper than good copper cable if you're aiming for 10 Gbps or later.

The hardware less so, but even then very much affordable.

If you're planning for the long term and think that running new cabling everywhere would be a huge pain, or there's some sort of concern with interference, I would definitely go with fiber.

For those too young to remember Fortran: Markdown is just as bad.

And that's just the biggest platforms and doesn't count the myriad of libraries and bindings with their unique subset/superset and edge cases.

Modern alpinism, as pioneered by the likes of Messner, is quite recent. Heck Norgay and Hillary were among the first travelling light, everyone else before them had expeditions rooted in colonial tradition. Compared to those, people being carrid up Mt. Everest are actually travelling eith almost nothing. And they manage to get up that summit, by paying Sherpas more than anyone else before that.

Not defend the practice, it is pathetic, but it is hardly corruption since it is clear people being carried up hardly qualify as alpinists to begin with.
I understood that, I just think your arguments are bad.

> There is no chance of "keeping politics out of" anything. Making such a decision or rule is highly political too.

Of course there is and such a decision is not about general politics or highly political. It's a bit like saying forbidding smoking on school grounds will never make it go away so we should just let the kids smoke. In fact, I would argue that Rust already has a lot of political rules in the code of conduct.

Even if people will break the rules there is still value in creating such rules but that will obviously only work as long as the people making the rules also abide by them which is not the case in the Rust community (among many others). It's obvious that certain political views are prohibited while others are welcome.

I guess what I am disappointed in is the constant double standards. They can have "black lives matters" on their webpage but if I were to link to a anti-trans movement (just making an example) on their discord it wouldn't take long until I'm banned. Anti trans movements and black lives matter has nothing to do with most development projects, thus none should be pushed on their websites.

Yup! Those aspects are covered in the Outer Space treaty.

Most satellites are registered and their orbital data published. This includes reconnaissance satellites.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registration_Convention

You can find them here:
https://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/spaceobjectregister/index.htm...
If you drill into the submissions from say, the USA, you can look up the "USA-###" designations and see USSF and NRO launches.

I believe however, that this data may not always be up to date, and might only reflect the orbital characteristics at time of launch, and not reflect subsequent maneuvers. Some reconnaissance satellites are then harder to track, and it's a bit of a hobby for those who don't have access to an enormous space radar. =P But that's where the Space Liability convention comes into play. Basically, if you launched it, you're responsible for it.

not knowing whether it modifies an array created remotely or locally

Yes, good language design allows the programmer to ignore details such as how an object was created or where it is stored.

Having to remember something like that violates so many design principles. Why would a programmer using the array need to know how it was created? It just adds unnecessary complexity to the code, making the programmer's job harder than it needs to be. It's accidental complexity ossified in the programming language.

My conspiracy theory is that cell carriers knew IoT was DOA but wanted to get as much funding from the federal government as possible. I suspect this because of how eager they are to deprecate old networks to repurpose the spectrum for high-revenue “premium 5G” devices like smartwatches and cars with built in hotspots… and because of how difficult it was for me to actually get an IoT device on one of the networks. Verizon basically said “fuck off unless you’re an enterprise company”, T-Mobile said something similar, and AT&T was pricey (they were all probably pricey)- something like $10 for 1MB/month. Like come the fuck on, it costs less than a cent to transfer 1MB of data over your decrepit EDGE network.

Is the Helium network a viable replacement for IoT devices? It’s a crypto thing but you earn the crypto by hosting a Helium “hotspot”, which is a LoRa (915MHz in the US) radio that actually has decent coverage and building penetration- of course the speeds are comparable dial-up, but that should suffice for IoT.
