The use of the controller is symptomatic of their attitude, but I agree that it's probably not as relevant as, say, using an untested (and apparently untestable) carbon fiber hull:

> Lochridge’s concerns mainly focused on the company’s decision to rely on sensitive acoustic monitoring – cracking or popping sounds made by the hull under pressure – to detect flaws, rather than a scan of the hull.

Lochridge said the company told him no equipment existed that could perform such a test on the 5in-thick (12.7cm-thick) carbon-fiber hull.

“This was problematic because this type of acoustic analysis would only show when a component is about to fail – often milliseconds before an implosion – and would not detect any existing flaws prior to putting pressure on to the hull,” Lochridge’s counterclaim said.

That's the problem with these dumb conspiracy theories: if the secret cabals that supposedly engineered things behind the scenes were competent, they'd be doing smarter things than we're seeing. And if they existed and were incompetent, they wouldn't be able to keep their existence secret for so long.
The real lesson of The Truman Show
You packed two bits of ad hominem misinformation into one sentence there, bravo! He once used a pseudonym like so many of us on this forum still do, but has gone by Tony Heller for many years now. And he wasn't an electrical engineer, he was a microchip verification engineer who worked at IBM.

Now do you have anything to say about the actual data, which is what's interesting here?
A temperature below human body temperature is one of nature’s ways of saying “this place isn’t for humans”.

Behringer did release their own "Neutron" (and soon "Proton"), but I generally agree with your points. Also they've cloned Moog gear that's <10 years old.
I was thinking about this some more, and realized also that comparing bugfixing in software to car repairs is a false comparison. When repairing a car, the work is about identifying the ways it differs from the original design, and fixing those (typically by swapping out broken pieces for identical working ones, or cleaning out gunk).

But repairing a bug is not similar to that. It is instead about identifying what is wrong in the original design itself, and how to change the design to eliminate this flaw while not introducing others. This is not like replacing a cracked exhaust pipe, it's like figuring out that the engine isn't getting enough power because the shape of the exhaust isn't appropriate, figuring out the better shape that also fits in the existing fittings, casting a new exhaust with that shape, and then installing it, and making sure you haven't broken some other property. That is all going to cost a heck of a lot more than the typical car repair, and is going to be well beyond what the majority of shops can do.

Interestingly, these kinds of services do exist to some extent (the "pimp my ride" style), but they are far fewer and more expensive than car repairs, and few people have ever used one.
Dammit! You shouldn’t say that in public! Did someone drop your egg before you hatched?
No need for the gobbledygook. Just use printf %q, which will quote neatly, too.

defer() {
new_cmd="$(printf "%q " "$@")"
DEFER="${new_cmd% }; $DEFER"
trap "command $DEFER" EXIT
}

Yeah, %q is not in POSIX, so this won't work with e.g. dash – but trying to stick to POSIX is almost always a dumb idea.
Obviously not the pressure hull, just sheeting. Probably got wiring, pluming, ventilation, insulation and expansion over probably insulation/expansion wiring and insulation and expansion joint under there before the real hull.

Found a photo looks like you can see the other side.

https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/blt949ea8e16e46...

And you can't really tell what fasteners are being used either. It could be screwed straight in the side like it's drywall, but it could be something slightly more reasonable.

It's not a contraption I would set foot in, but they reached the Titanic multiple times with it. That can not be done with screw your TV into the pressure hull level stupidity.

EDIT: And the pressure hull is 5 inches thick. That thing looks about a half inch.

I do a bit of Aroura photography so keep track of solar weather.

Most flares are not earth directed, so most likely this will come to nothing. But hopefully it is, it would trigger a good Aroura if it is earth directed.
While I myself am a long-term user of my local bikeshare network and more often than not see tourists renting private bikes by the day, I have to disagree with the idea of restricting access for short-term users.

It's always been super handy for when friends come to visit and we can all take the same method of transportation, and it means they can afford to park further out of town where the free car spaces are and cycle into the city centre.
I can imagine the man(-child) asked for this feature, because, he knows better, right?

I can also imagine in his hubris he'd think the feature is better than it is, and he thinks he can tweet on his phone rather than pay attention to the road. It'd be ironic if FSD is the cause of his demise.

Does he even drive himself? I can imagine his handlers think it's too risky, and that they've assigned a chauffeur for him.
Web browsers will take the IRI (Internationalised Resource Identifier; think of it as a URI but containing non-ascii characters), and turn it into a URI (containing a load of percent-encoded utf-8 bytes instead of non-ascii characters) and send that to the web server.

So your website will need to decode the percent-encoded utf-8 bytes into Unicode characters.

(On phone, simplifying a bit. I encourage you to read the relevant RFC.)

One little trick:

If you are the kind of person to set off on a drive without having even picked a destination like me, then it's a good idea to use the weather to decide which direction to drive. A few hours drive north might have beautiful clear skies, while a few hours south will be a thunderstorm. If you don't care where you end up, you might as well have nice weather while you do it.
1. It's not intuitive that you can type in a dropdown.

2. It's not always obvious if a dropdown is focused or not.

It's orthogonal, but focus doesn't always cycle in the obvious order of input fields with nothing in between.

As for the field, couldn't it be a text field with a small down arrow within for a dropdown option?
I don't find it funny, I find it scary and mind-blowing: the impact of these headlines is additive - this one confirms the effectiveness of combining models, and the other one suggests you could cut the model size a couple orders of magnitude if you train on clean enough data. Together, this points at a way to achieve both GPT-4 that fits on your phone, and a much more powerful model that's not larger than GPT-4 is now.

I think the future is to never fill-in your cards info anymore, and maybe not even have a card at all.

Once you start using something with a QR Code, it's much much better:

- WeChat Pay and co. (in China);

- PhonePe and co (in India);

You usually have 2 ways to pay with those systems (only systems I'm familiar with, others might be different):

- Merchand shows a QR Code; you scan it and enter the right amount manually. Merchand gets a confirmation.

- Merchand shows a QR Code; you scan it but the amount and details are all pre-filled and you just have to confirm.

In both cases, it's scan + click ok.

Now, if worldwide banks in the world were to have a way to send money to each other without fees and with a single standard, they could make it happen (one can hope).
"Move fast, break things" is a SV mantra. That is ok for entertainment software or social networks but when you apply this to systems where people can die like healthcare, cars, spaceships and submersibles it's a problem,
Did Plan 9 offer unprivileged networking virtualization the same way netns can in Linux, or userid namespaces?
Earlier this year we cleared my parents house prior to selling it, which meant dealing with my father's book collection. He had wide ranging interests, from jazz to town planning, and it was quite a task figuring out what of the 1500-odd books was junk, what was worth donating, and what was worth selling.

Some was easy: the 200 or so mountaineering books were gratefully received by the Alpine Club library, and the few first editions (Dylan Thomas, John Betjeman, folks like that) got £750 from a bookseller. The ones that have been most difficult to find a good home for are the large format art books, which no-one seems to want.

And I've kept too many fascinating volumes, so it hasn't exactly helped my book collection, but we've found homes for most of them.
No, consulting does recruitment themselves. This means they just deal with legally employing person you've recruited.
io_uring is a more modern API to file access. Actually I think it would be great if everything was a file and the communication with the kernel was only with io_uring.
Paypal has been very annoying with their login stuff since PSD2, more so than real banks. Amazon Pay is the easiest there, though SEPA payments are kinda the easiest for the consumer. However, SEPA transactions negatively impact credit score (if the merchant asks for the score, not all do). Credit cards are just a hassle online (except thru Apple Pay) and 3dsecure always feels like phishing.

Can you use something similar for lock files?

For instance, I have some script which looks like this:

function cleanup() {
pkill -P $$ # Kill child processes.
rm -f myscript.lock
}
trap cleanup exit

lockfile -r 0 myscript.lock # Try to create lock file once.
if [[ $? != 0 ]]; then
echo ":("
exit 1
fi

# Work work...
cleanup

Like you said, the cleanup handler is not invoked if the script receives a SIGKILL.
Since the lock file needs to be present in the FS (contrary to a tmp file), maybe this is some inherent limitation, but I would be curious if some better approach exists.
Yes, though it is not used much anymore, in Italy most contracts are 3 kW, a number have been upgraded to 4.5 kW or to 6 kW, but that's it.

Due to the way contracts are currently made, there is a fixed amount you pay for the availability of power (no matter if you use it or not) so everyone is on the lower possible amount.

There is also a (relative) complication for new houses or (important) renewals, the electrical system needs to be designed, and while for systems up to 6 kW it is enough that the design is made by the technical representative of the installer/electrician, for larger power a project is needed by a certified electrical engineer, which has a cost.

But as said the real issue is that the local infrastructure is simply not dimensioned for the large increments of power that are (or will be) required by the diffusion of heat pumps and induction stoves, let alone the recharging of EV's.

I believe that the medium voltage (in Italy it is usually @12,000 or @20,000 volts) distribution can be enough or can be upgraded relatively easily, the issue is with the low voltage (the 380-400V) distribution lines and the transformers/electrical cabins in cities.
From page 6, when they describe their synthetic textbook dataset:

"Consider the matrix A = np.array([[1, 2], [2, 4]]). We can check if this matrix is singular or nonsingular using the determinant function. [...]"

No. The determinant is not a suitable way to do that. A proper way to numerically measure singularity would be to compute the condition number of the matrix (the ratio of its largest to smallest singular value).
0 problem with that in Poland. There are even special lower taxes for that here.
i'd argue that every language is somewhat imperfect, but there is something to be said in favor of pitfalls/footguns/inperfections that are somewhat well defined and understood for more than a decade.
To be fair, even the namespace design of Plan 9 isn't very elegant, because file-base API hits its own limit pretty quickly. Linux had to abuse `ioctl` to avoid that.

The best namespace design should come from the microkernel world, where isolation can be achieved by simply rerouting outgoing API calls to alternate servers. This will also allow injecting all kinds of crazy/complicated policies in the middle.
Since Behringer usually keep clones as close to the original as possible, I think this was a strategy to avoid legal issues when cloning something recent. These ones are functionally equivalent, but presented quite differently.

> I do not like the way you build expressions by concatenating strings.

Unfortunately this is the only option if you're trying to preserve POSIX shell compatibility - arrays are implementation-specific additions to the specifications.

I do not like the way Bash has become synonymous with shell, and appreciate people making an effort to make their scripts work across a large variety of different systems.
Almost nothing in the universe can not spin. Everything is rotating all the time.
Using \+ instead of \; will do the same (fork less).

du -a will need to do a stat to get the file size, which is comparatively expensive; I don't think find will (not sure)?
> (bonus points for the dropdown on expiry date)

I definitely prefer being able to go through inputting my card details using the numpad and the tab key. Having to switch more often between keyboard and mouse adds one more step to the nightmare that is online payment. While it is just a preference though, I wouldn't go so far as to say a date dropdown automatically means bonus points.
If a website doesn’t offer me the ability to pay without running javascript this is a red flag and i’ll bounce.

The amount of spying in the payments industry is vile enough.
I wonder if that is true. Intuitively it seems to me that there are probably many areas of knowledge that cannot be reliably summarized into a textbook. Most subjective experiences, for example. Qualia have been notoriously difficult to describe too, even if the might be absolute.

Even for fields that lend themselves well to being converted to textbook format there is often a tradeoff between accuracy and conciseness. The more you refine, the more nuance you throw away. It seems like a Very Hard Problem (tm) to know which data are superfluous and which are not, especially at scale.
> I mean the xbox and Playstation controllers are both actually really good, sturdy, reliable controllers

In point of fact they are not. The PS5 controller has poor battery life and both have stick drift issues because they use cheap analogue sensors. The current generation of Nintendo controllers are similar: stick drift and battery issues are common. And then there are issues with wireless interference which can be a serious problem and, when it is, difficult to diagnose and fix. I don't think the Logitech controller in question even has wired as an option though of course I have no idea if that's relevant to the incident at all.
Is it possible to have recurring payments with the QR pay solutions you mentioned? There are probably a lot of use cases, for example for a gym membership, etc.
Just to add some points of reference:

- VR headsets typically need very low frame times so that they can account for you moving your head and not give you motion sickness. The typical threshold is ~10ms, but it can be improved with good reprojection tech

- Older LCD TVs often added >50ms of input lag, although this is much less of a problem now, but this was enough for lots of people in the 360/PS3 era of consoles
Translating it to Dutch and back changes a few words, apparantely that also passes through the filter:

For an example, most high performance devices expose functionality as memory locations mapped into the CPU address space. In many cases it's necessary to allow userspace direct access to (part of) the memory the device exposes, such as with GPU's, RDMA NIC's and so forth. Not sure you could get high performance with a read/write stream based interface, as conceptually elegant such an interface is.
There's capital and then operational costs.

If a Coast Guard ship heads out of St. John's or a Navy aircraft/ship/submarine transits to the area, they burn fuel but already existed with all their trained personnel.

So most of the cost is moving things into position. Expensive, but the asset probably would have been moving somewhere anyway.
Unix being stringly-typed is a huge problem.

For example, I found a flatpak of a system monitor and thought it was portable. Turns out, it parses `ps` output directly, but it's not compatible with BusyBox `ps` output

https://github.com/hakandundar34coding/system-monitoring-cen...

the author literally doesn't care since it works with coreutils `ps`

it's a culture problem
That sounds the same as dev containers, so it can't be the difference.
When I go scuba diving I also need to sign a waiver and acknowledge the inherent risk of the activity.

It doesn't mean that the regulator provided by the dive center is McGivered with duct tape and chewing gum. Which seems like the equivalent of the construction and the components quality of that vessel.
I live across the road from a dairy farm and often hear the wailing of cows desperate for the calves that have just been taken away from them to be killed for veal. These animals are born to suffer. I think the west, with its high dairy consumption, has nothing to complain about compared to "that society or population".
None of Chillean miners were filthy rich.
The supposed flooding of low lying Pacific islands have been one of the primary emotional stories told by environmentalists, governments and the UN for decades. The poor innocent islanders having their homes destroyed by massive sea level rises created directly by rapacious westerners in their gas guzzling cars.

The falsification of these claims is therefore no mere "factoid" or "little gotcha". It means all the people and institutions who made these claims were wrong and wrong whilst asserting 100% confidence in what they were saying. It is not just a falsification of a scientific hypothesis but the falsification of their self-proclaimed expertise too.

Now think about how many other "gotchas" are lurking out there in the science. Because for sure this isn't the only one.

In reality there is no evidence for "massive disruptions costing trillions of dollars". None. Zero. It's a fiction that's been made up out of whole cloth and now way too many people just can't let it go.
Dropdowns are kinda better for mobile though
> light node.js dependency

Pedantic but just for drive-by readers, there isn't really any nodejs dependency. You can use it to manage JS dependencies, or you can forgo it for "vendoring" with esbuild (or bun, etc).

Liveview itself has a small JS component that is mostly transparent (socket.connect() basically). You can of course add more JS too it.
UEFI has also been ported to ARM, yet we still have all kinds of issues booting ARM boards with generic images.
That's why history repeats. Most people have no idea what happened a 100 years ago.
> They tell me I need a state or province. Hồ Chí Minh City is a city without a province. (There are five such cities that have the same rank as a province and thus aren't contained within one.)

Common in London, too -- even on British websites. They'll require a city and a county, at which point I need to enter "London" for both. Things will still be delivered correctly, fortunately.
So I was wondering – are the militaries that are helping in this concerned at all about disclosing capabilities?

Like, by the fact that a Canadian (NATO) aircraft picked up some sounds at (presumably) 12,400 feet depth, giving away a capability that they are able to hear sounds at that depth? Or are people in this "industry" (submarine warfare) probably already aware of all this from decades of cat and mouse technology games?
Unfortunately, the cables on their newer headphones are made of the crappiest rubber possible. That part annihilated itself incredibly quickly.
Oh good grief those are annoying though. "We've found a more exact version of the address you entered" no you haven't, you've randomly substituted my neighbour's house number and dropped the county name. It's even worse for my office address: it's a large building shared by many companies; without the correct company name the receptionist cannot contact the right recipient. The APIs though like to either replace the company name with a random unrelated one or drop it entirely.

Wonder how many misdeliveries these features cause? Both my and GP's annoyances can be solved simply by leaving the entered data unmangled. I've supplied precisely what needs to go on the packaging to get the item to me. All of the text is necessary, sufficient and in the correct order. Don't change those things. You don't know better.
