NHTSA has a 25-year rule that allows a car old than 25 years to be imported without those considerations. You can definitely import them legally in Texas. I find it funny that we disallow these new smaller trucks, but we allow folks to jack up the suspension on an already large American truck 24 inches, install a grille guard, and it's still considered legal.

They did for me, sort of! I was taught LOGO at like 8 years old when, once every couple weeks I think, the kids in “advanced” math or “gifted” program (latter term I only heard in 4th grade, even then it felt cheesy or worse) were bussed to a semi-school to take 2 electives at a time. I also got to take an HTML class there! This would have been approx 30 years ago.

Awesome tip, I’m on it thank you.
Good question! The graph styles you see in those examples can definitely be used to draw directed acyclic graphs (try opening one in the online editor and modifying the Substance file!), but it sounds like you may specifically be asking whether those graph layout algorithms are available in Penrose? In that case the answer is no, but you could write a Style program that does layered graph layout if you want. Unless I misunderstood your question?

LOGO MANUAL

Hal Abelson

As to the contents, it's impressive how advanced LOGO was for the time. In addition to controlling robot turtles, it could output to a display, plotter, and "music box".

It reminds me, one of the earliest software I wrote was a kind of mini-LOGO that controlled (via RS232 connection) a robot turtle that a friend built, in high school. I suppose that was in the 1990s, and if I remember correctly I wrote it in Turbo C, around when OOP and C++ were starting to get popular (?). And the funny thing is, a big part of my work these days is developing a domain-specific language, not too different from LOGO or BASIC, designed for end-user programming.
I am not a lawyer and I don’t defend what Shein has done, but racketeering seems like the wrong description for this? Maybe the plaintiffs are really stretching for a legal theory bc what shein has done is not illegal, even if it is wrong?
Thank you. We already do Khan Academy kids too. Will be happy to see them graduate to the real thing :)

Yea, I used to get annoyed when I saw results like this. But I appreciate them more and more. It's still easy to find what you're looking for with a quick Ctrl+F. But there inevitably comes a time when I want to understand a concept deeper, and I can come back to results like this for the longer explanation.

I know that it doesn't have to be either a long explanation or a quick and concise snippet of information, it can be both. But I find that a lot of docs will either have long explanations or short snippets (because time is finite and doing both is duplicating efforts), and in those cases, I prefer the long explanation.
Obligatory: "Obviously, the first place men should look to help them define 'masculinity' is an article written by a woman in the Washington Post."

More seriously... in my opinion, being a man is about taking command of yourself first and foremost. Measure yourself against the yardstick that you choose, as opposed to looking to others for validation.

I'll also point out that this doesn't apply only to males. My wife and I have two daughters, and I honestly can't think of anything I'd do drastically different if they were boys.

Does McDonalds show every product they sell in their ads? Are their ads 45 minutes or 5 full pages long?

Nope, they only show you enough to let you know they have something you want, and they do it within the limits of a regular advertisement.

You need to do that, too. Keep your resume short. It's not a CV or an autobiography. Keep only what you hope will sell you to that particular company, and don't bore them to tears with so much detail they can't get through it.
Problems with OpenAI:

1) You're wasting GPT tokens on outputting JSON instead of meaningful information.

2) GPT functions won't, with absolute, 100% certainty, return JSON in the schema you want. In 1% to 3% of cases it hallucinates fields, etc.

3) This also allows you to output data in arbitrary non-JSON formats.

4) You can't self-host OpenAI functions.
When people pose this "puzzle" verbally to another, there usually is a back and forth questions and answers about the exact problem statement. This is where most "puzzle" posers mess it up. In fact vos Savant messed this up herself.

A proof is a sequence of steps, which are to be justified individually. Justifications may be general theorems from the field of mathematics, its axioms, or otherwise givens from the problem statement.

Hiding withheld "given(s)" in the "solution" instead of providing them in the problem statement means the literal problem statement is ill-posed.

Check the section "standard assumptions" on Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Standard_as...

"Under the standard assumptions, the probability of winning the car after switching is 2 / 3. The key to this solution is the behavior of the host. Ambiguities in the Parade version do not explicitly define the protocol of the host. However, Marilyn vos Savant's solution[3] printed alongside Whitaker's question implies, and both Selvin[1] and Savant[5] explicitly define, the role of the host as follows: [...]"

When I was first posed the problem, I told the person there was not enough information to solve the puzzle, I saw the Bayesian catapult under a specific assumption, but I realized the problem statement was underspecified and unposed. So while inquiring the acquaintance to explain "how it happened that there was a goat behind the door" the person just reiterated the already communicated sequence of events as a fairy tale, and this went on until he provided the solution. Of course his explanation was the Bayesian catapult, and I responded that the problem statement did not contain the requisite facts and he must have mistold it. So I looked up the problem on Wikipedia only to discover that vos Savant herself ill-posed her problem.

Its perfectly fine for a step in a proof of solution to refer to a given. But that given must either be directly present in the problem statement or be rigorously derivable from it. This is simply not the case.

If it isn't given it's not a given.
They are statistically not doing pickup truck things. Pickup truck owners haul stuff once per year on average. That's the difference that you're not seeing.

You think that the problem is those "bro-dozers", and everyone else just needs a truck. The reality is that most people don't need a truck, and by driving one everyone else's life gets worse.
>Joe Internet-Commentator looks at that and says "oh it was totally instant, probably".

Kind of, yeah. There is a good timeline on when the ship was in water, when an event would have occurred, plus a very narrow geographical search area. That is significantly more information than is ever available when chasing ghost submarines.

It is difficult for me to imagine some bored analyst did not pop open a graph of activity within a 30 minute window of suspected loss of contact time for the area. If detectable, a ship implosion is likely a pretty aberrant signal in the data.
I think there's a lot more in this space than people may be aware of. I have seen a fair number of breadtube discussions about what positive masculinity looks like.

In particular, F.D. Signifier just talked about masculinity in anime, and what good masculinity looks like.

But honestly this exists in a lot of places. Ted Lasso in S1 of Ted Lasso is a reasonable example of more positive masculinity.

And the real question that I think is gonna make a lot of people mad is. Why do we need a separate definition of "What makes someone a good man?" vs. "What makes someone a good woman?" vs. "What makes someone a good person?"

Why is it important for people to be good while attached to a gender? I say this as a cis-het-white man who is following my best impression of how to be a good man. But the answer I'm running headlong into, is that there's nothing about my gender that means I shouldn't be striving to just be a "good person".

It does actually.

"The strncmp() function is similar, except it compares only the first (at most) n bytes of s1 and s2."

Possibly it's years of string wrangling in C that sets me up here for being biased towards the compact way in which the C manpages state what the function will do, but 'early termination' because of zero length strings for comparisions returns 0 just as sure as comparing "" and "" would. And that 0 indicates a match...
In the Solid webiverse we could all self host tools that work across any range of sites. Anything anyone wanted to share with us? We could use whatever tools we want and do trust to use that data. We could use tools we trust to surf all the web, in the Solid world.

And given that we could self host these tools on static websites - since they dont rely on the host to hold data - we could all fork whatever tools we want into our own github pages accounts just fine.

I can not think of a more ideal & perfect outcome. Nothing you said in any way seems to hold any muster to this theory. Will it happen like this? Probably not; only if greatness takes root & spreads. But you seem hung up on assuming the world will absolutely remain as shitty as it is now. And you seem to be using that as your ammo to dismiss/ignore/put down. You are hard hard shorting this idea, and to me, that unwillingness to accept possibility, that rejecting based off of only what you are familiar with: that is a big bad.

(There's also an even wider range of cross-site systems that use the many trust barrier/sandbox options we have to allow us to weave webs between points of presence, in a trustable fashion. The fediverse has just some early crude steps at this, and it doesn't yet use any filetype handling nor protocol registration capabilities; the door is open.)

@ocdtrekkie: I'm rate limited again & cant reply but I don't see a single clash you've made with what I've just said. You've ignored every thesis every word I made & just doubled down on being wrong in exactly the same way. Please show the clash clearly. I've discussed at length how it allows tools to be happened in trusted places, to easily run yourself if nothing else, to statically host. There's even Web specs being proposed for isolated apps, which prevent a tool from dialing home anywhere. https://github.com/WICG/isolated-web-apps/blob/main/README.m... It's sad to see such wrong incorrect & negative persistent disbelief & pettiness used to shade such possibility. It's unclear what possibility you allude to as you crap all over other ideas. What poisonous sad disbelief.

I read alot. I probably see 5-10 new "theories" on how to raise children per year, and have for the past few decades.

I've never seen anything even resembling a "don't punish kids if they say they don't know why they misbehaved". I do remember being chastised for it when I was a child myself. And in the last 3 or 4 years, I've seen hints of a few psychological studies that have posited that people often don't know why they do things, but make up reasonings for their behavior after the fact.

But never has anyone put two and two together that I am aware of.

I could write books on the evidence I have for why we've not "improved our understanding of how to discipline children".

It literally was, Saddam Hussein started 2 wars, 1 genocide alone - he was during the 90s the biggest risk for stability in the Middle east.

Syria was still trying to do pan-arabism by destabilizing any country it deemed going against this ambition.

Lebanon had JUST stopped it's 25 year civil war,
countless terrorist organizations springing up and the list goes on and on.

I never stated it justified the invasion, I'm just pointing out that proclaiming that the USA with 1 war caused the entire middle east to implode is not true.

The only truth to the instability of the middle east is a mixture of the Cold war and political movement such as pan-arabism and Islamism, these caused the biggest political instability and thus decadent and stagnant power structure in those countries (effectively that of typical power over everything).

You said it yourself, as a non-american, of course, I never said "globally speaking", I specifically said for Americans.

The Iraq war would have been a different story if there was an actual understand by the Bush administration of what actually was the fundamental issues with Iraq beyond the maniac decision making of Saddam Hussein.

The fact that the Bush administration in it's arrogance believed the naive belief of bringing democracy & freedom to Iraqis was all would be required to ensure stability in the region was and still is a painful lesson for the western world on how to create stability in an unstable nation.

From what I know people are nostalgic towards Bush because he seems more diplomatic, compromising and composed than what Trump does - while defiantly not true while Bush was in office, people like putting on rose tinted glasses when presented with the bleak present.
My response to post-hoc rationalizations is to stare and go, “Mmm hmmm, you have no idea do you?”
What's the right age for us to start decrying someone's continued existence? Is it wrong for people with chronic health conditions to seek treatment rather than just dying?
Almost have it right.

The problem is regulatory capture. Regulating an industry that can easily kill people is probably smart government. The problem is this creates a system that allows companies like Pfizer and Moderna, or Siemens, or GE or capture many or all of a given market sector.

I would actually argue regulatory capture is a worse outcome than de-regulation in almost any industry. It's a delicate balance. In our industry we can see this with last mile internet. We can see this with taxes in America where regulatory capture has permitted Intuit to have a license to print money. No different than providers, insurance companies, and medical device manufacturers.

Here's one example. If we took some regulation away from health insurance providers, allowing them to make bigger risk pools through cross-state service, the patients would by and large see better and more consistent outcomes. In fact, this is so scary there are untold billions being pumped into congress to stop it. Instead, we got the abortion of a solution known as the ACA. Sometimes properly applied deregulation creates the environment needed to make an industry better by removing regulatory capture. Competition is a good thing at all levels. Any effort to completely stamp out the competitive nature of human beings always results in worse outcomes for everyone. Imagine if doctors had to compete for patients! The life of a doctor right now couldnt be easier. Make friend with insurance and the wallets-with-pulses are sent directly to you!
The thing is, thanks to the magic of nonzero interest rates, it's cheaper to wait and reprocess later. The more you wait, the cheaper it is, even including the cost of temporary storage in dry casks while you wait.
One usecase that I found is in sewer inspection.

Although, I'm not sure how practical it is in real life.

I'm looking for some real life scenarios where there might be some pressing need for such drone based usecases.

In the 1980s there was also LEGO/LOGO, a programmable interface to a line of Technic products, plus an expansion card and breakout box for the Apple II to wire it all up.

There were motors, lights, and sensors you could program. One project I remember was build a car with a light sensor on the front, and then write a control loop that uses the sensor to make the car follow a line on the floor.

Here’s a blog post about someone exploring the tech:

> I don't know what ANGLE is, but WebGL is based on OpenGL. As this article says "WebGL’s API is really just OpenGL ES 2.0"

Why is an ebike with a throttle any more dangerous than any vehicle with a throttle? Why ban them entirely, instead of just limiting them to adults or licensed drivers.

In most states you can buy a 49cc scooter which is heavier, faster, more powerful, and has identical controls and operate it without any specialized training. Is that also something we should ban?

The human interface for a hand throttle on e-bikes isn’t novel, it’s been around for the better part of a century on most motorcycles and that seems to work just fine.

The compiler is still a 32-bit app, so won't run on few recent Macs...
I'm not so sure the whole OS revolving around Dalvik is really a problem. You can still run C++ native code to accelerate specific things.

Obviously it's a problem because of all the millions of man hours of existing stuff for other OSes, but in theory, I don't see why a managed code only ecosystem wouldn't work.

I could even see it being faster than current OSes, in some future imaginary world where Android had a MakeHardwareAcceleratedCDNServer(folder, port, config).

So many applications(Obviously not all, but a fair number) out there are fairly boring, probably shouldn't even be written at all, and probably could be covered with a small set of high level primitives.

If we had kept on thinking the way we did in the early days of Windows, we'd probably have more things like Excel, abstractions that cover insane numbers of use cases without plugins or anything.
Have a look at the Giant Fastroad E+ EX Pro - it's no VanMoof style, but a fairly sleek mid-drive city bike with a frame-integrated battery using a 1x11 Shimano GRX groupset and proper brakes. Depending on region it's also fairly quick - here in NZ they provide electric assist up to 45 km/h.

‘WarGames’ anticipated our current AI fears 40 years ago this summer
As Ryan Britt wrote recently at the Inverse, what really makes “WarGames” scary isn’t that the computer is evil, but rather its potentially dire inability to recognize nuance the way a human can. “In ‘WarGames,’ the computer doesn’t understand the difference between a game and real life,” Britt noted.
