Let me explain what I meant: the transistor changed everything and we’re still reaping unexpected benefits, see LLMs this year. My bet is such a superconductor would be the same - 50 years from its creation we’d still be finding new ways of putting it to use.
glTF is really single-asset only: that's not what USD is - USD is designed for entire scenes with scene graph hierarchy, and layers of overrides / additions (it's essentially a mini-evaluation engine internally). It's very powerful, but also quite complicated, and not just a file format.

USD started in the very complicated CG/VFX world where this type of complexity and flexibility is needed, however, Apple (and others) have been pushing it into other realms (VR, mobile, .usdz).
It's not obvious to me how it could. Transistors require a semiconductor.
There's treating the root cause (totally agree with, except that as a task it's almost impossibly large/complicated to solve at a societal level), and then there's deciding not to do additional harm (prosecution) on top of the harm that's already happening

I don't think the main expectation of decriminalization is to solve the drug issue, but to stop adding fuel to the fire. But, maybe that will turn out to have been wrong
>Another thing is that the stock market doesn't work here. It promotes shortsighted trading without an eye for long term side effects.

You assert this without elaboration. What makes you think that? Maybe the average wall st trading firm doesn't care, but institutional investors (eg. pension funds, university endowments, family offices, sovereign wealth funds) would very much care if their holdings go up in smoke a few decades from now.
This is whataboutism. Drunk driving kills and should be harshly punished. People who are unsafe drivers for other reasons (e.g. too old) should be handled separately, but their existence is not an excuse for irresponsible behavior.
Loved the last paragraph, always good to end with ideas for positive action.

>As cathartic as venting one’s outrage can be in the moment, it’s clear that moral grandstanding accomplishes very little beyond the fleeting satisfaction that it brings. Shaming people doesn’t seem to change their behaviour, and invoking mass shooting victims in an argument about hamburgers doesn’t move the needle on gun control. Social change doesn’t come from posting but from purposeful collective action: organizing, voting, protesting. At worst, the catharsis of grandstanding deludes us into thinking that virtuous online posturing is a meaningful form of solidarity and not a fruitless, ego-driven impulse. Tosi and Warmke argue that the purpose of recognizing moral grandstanding isn’t to get other people to knock it off; it’s to stop doing it yourself.
So the anti Uber argument is that uber drivers are drooling idiots that are too stupid to act in their best interest?
While spoken by a fictional character, I believe this is a good way to view what architecture should be.

"A building has integrity, just as a man and just as seldom! It must be true to its own idea, have its own form, and serve its own purpose!"

Would that produce an architectural style run amok? I don't think so. But I believe the view point described there would be described as individualism.
They were western socialists. Have you seen stalinist architecture, it is almost neo-classical compared to modernist architecture...

Superconductor ICs: Computing without transistors (2000)
With all of the excitement around the intersection of superconductors and computing, it is interesting to note that the "popular" families of superconducting logic don't use transistors at all. Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) uses Josephson junctions and quanta of magnetic flux in loops to spit out millivolt-high, picosecond-long pulses, with the presence of a pulse being a logic 1 and the absence being a zero (rather than voltages being logic level as in CMOS). Other resources include:

I don't see much individualism in modern architecture, though. All these modern buildings tend to look the same. Ugly and depressing.
It's mostly stuff like the local sushi shop like [0], works poorly, renders the "pay" button outside the screen on FireFox. Office 365 tools, sometime just kill FireFox performance, or there is no audio, while everything looks ok. Lots of issues trying to sign into this learning platform as well [1]. Can't think of more, but as said it happens surprisingly often.

Edit: Also, on icloud in the browser I consistently need to click explicitly where I want to type (in notes) or my text won't register.

It's the same type of sites that happily take my 32 random char password then I later find it was truncated to 12 chars or so. Just amateur stuff.

You are right about the energy density and limitations. I was more focused on the fast rate of storage and retrieval.
Hi, I work on Cypress (but not the multi domain feature).

I agree memory usage is an issue, I sure hope we can fix that. It's a hard problem with the frontend execution heavy model Cypress uses, along with the DOM snapshots consuming a ton of memory.

There is a `experimentalMemoryManagement` feature that might be of interest to you [0]. The reason this one is experimental is the implications are not fully understood yet, and as a mature software product, we can't just throw out a big feature and "see what happens", so to speak.

I understand not wanting to use experimental features, but this might be useful to your existing Cypress projects, even if you aren't using it for your new projects anymore.

I have been using it since 2017 and I have no problems to report that were specific to EXWM. I also use EXWM on my work dev machhine and have set EXWM as the windows manager for my kids computers.I absolutely love it. If you want the best experience, I recommend compiling emacs >=29 and configure it for native lisp + tree-itter so that you can get the most from eglot.

I have run into issues with the odd package, but nothing that has ruined my day.
That's such a false equivalence. A conflict of interest over trivial matters is inconsequential; one where billions of pounds could change money, it very much is.

People will never be squeaky clean, but from the highest office in the land one must expect better than whiffs of dodgy multi-billion deals. If one can't possibly shake that whiff, s/he shouldn't be in that office.
I doubt it - for 3D CAD there are STEP/IGES etc. Most of the 3D printing issues are from triangulation/voxelization of analytical surfaces rather than interchange format.
You can call a spade a spade but if you did a hole with a backhoe that backhole doesn't magically become a spade.

I'm a bit confused on how you think the USA got Ukraine to do the fighting considering Russia invaded (did USA pay off Russia to invade?). But regardless, yes Ukraine is at war and USA is not. It's just like if I drove to the dry cleaners and had them wash something. I didn't wash it; I'm not a dry cleaner. Playing the dry cleaners money or etc doesn't change that fact.

> Our constant involvement in cyclical non-wars sure doesn't feel the same as "peace" to me. Maybe that word just doesn't mean what I think it does anymore

I mean my whole argument is that you're using war to describe something that isn't so I guess this makes two of us.

> Or maybe we have our tentacles in so many places that warmaking and peacemaking have become indistinguishable.

Yes, because the USA is not at war. Russia warmakes with Ukraine so Ru & UA are at war and efforts by other countries China/USA/etc would likely be peacemaking efforts because China/USA/etc aren't at war. If USA declared war on Russia then it'd be a warmaking effort.

> The world is our mercenary.

Which countries did the USA hire to fight another one? That's also a word not being used correctly.
Interesting that Denmark is not mentioned at all (expect for a single reference to BIG as a leading studio). Perhaps modern architecture in Denmark is more thoughtful, constrained by public regulation or maybe Danes are just more open to modern approaches.

But to what level? The seasoning usually don't go into the food. Once the process is done, it should stick to the pan as a polymer, not as something you eat like overcooked food.

And from what I've seen, while charred food is carcinogenic, eating an entire course of badly charred food is like an order of magnitude less carcinogenic than smoking a single cigarette.

Teflon pans are also mostly harmless unless you overheat them by a lot (i.e. forget it on the stove, empty and on high heat), it is the large scale accumulation of manufacturing byproducts in nature that is the problem.
Some people print their tickets at home. That's what I assumed they meant.
> Just another HN Tuesday I see. It’s so easy that it’s still duopoly in US since the inception of the market.

I'd suggest that this is not necessarily related to how hard the tech side is. Both major incumbents have (until now!) been throwing away VC money without any clear path to profitability, so there hasn't exactly been much of an incentive to build yet another money pit.
Wasn't that the premise of OData? It was Atom(RSS)+hyperlinks.

> Why does every online discussion terminate in ethical grandstanding?

I understand the use of "every" is hyperbole, but that's not the only way online discussions terminate.

Sometimes they end in rational debate where the conflict is a matter of epistemology rather than morality.

Yes Pixie is CPU only, and just like you can't use Cairo or Skea for real time games you can't use Pixie, but boxy you totally can.

I'm interested in co-founding and early stage startups, but if you are doing something really cool in corp or gov/mil (Cage Code: 8Q152) drop me a note too! I'm available for W2 or C2C, a US Citizen, and have previously worked with clients in UK, EU, Japan, and Thailand.
Really, I'm quite hopeful for crabi: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105586

An ABI for languages with a proper type system seems fantastic. Swift, Rust, Nim, D all share very similar type systems (and memory management systems) and it would be very cool to see what kinds of interop easy dynamic linking would allow.
So is jail but there's a higher probability of success with treatment. Maybe they go in and during group hear someone that inspires them. It's a personal to choice to change of course but that can be influenced

To me these "traiditional" style buildings in Europe would be considered "modern" by North American standards.

Structurally, it feels like North American houses have been built the same way since the colonies started (sidings, frames/studs, gabled/shingled roofs). We even try to keep the houses look as close to the colonial styles as possible, with plastic/aluminum sidings and windows imitating wood.

In Europe it seems like they moved completely over to steel-frame, concrete/composite walls. Roofs mostly metal, windows large and not flimsy. I heard one explanation is the trees being all cut down in Europe during the industrial revolution, but I'm not sure that tells the whole story. Dimensional lumber there are easy to buy and not that much more expensive. Ocean shipping is dirty cheap.

If I were to take a wild guess it has more to do with modern fire-safety standards (can't spread to another room), which the lumber/construction industry in NA have probably lobbied against.
There is a new cancer cure every year for more than a decade now but still nothing really substantiates in terms of saving people's lives at scale.

It was clear that making drugs legal wouldn't solve all problems. What needs to happen is that the budgets that got spent on prosecuting and imprisoning drug users now gets spent on treatment options.
This is actually an issue with their docs that I encountered a few weeks ago when I was first experimenting with this tool. They apparently added a Spanish-language version of the docs, including an associated extra directory tree in the URL, but they failed to set up redirects or even update the existing links in the documentation.

So those two pages are actually located at https://archiveweb.page/en/troubleshooting/errors/ and https://archiveweb.page/en/contact/ respectively.

It looks like their docs site is open source at https://github.com/webrecorder/archiveweb.page-site, so I may try and send a pull request later today to go ahead and correct those links.
And? The two are not exclusive problems, one can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Saying nothing is hypocritical and blaming only one side is tribalistic.
I thought legalization was the way due to libertarian reasons. Who is the gov to regulate my behaviour?

But then I met addicts. People who made one (fatal) mistake and are now hooked for life, and careening through life completely out of their own control.

In the past, we had strong social institutions like the church, and mass participation in the army, and insane asylums for the bad apples. The problem there was over-control and abuse of disempowered people.

Note I don’t agree with the above, but now we’ve swung so far the other way that there are people doing hard drugs 100m from where I’m typing this, and there are seemingly no answers.

I hope we find an enlightened way to guide those who need help because neither the old nor the current way is working perfectly.
Having the right opinion as a form of social status.
Yes, but passive PoE is almost universally at 24v, and per the Ethernet spec (as quoted above) an Ethernet PHY should tolerate 24v fine. This is important as transients from nearby lightning or occasionally even coupling to power cables can produce this kind of voltage. Ethernet connectors are magnetically coupled for protection from these transients.

The problem with PPoE in these cases is, I think, not the voltage so much as the current. The continuous 24v supply may overheat the magnetic coupling transformer and cause it to fail. Some Ethernet interfaces, usually on telecom equipment and quality switches, have over current protection to prevent this. Unfortunately consumer devices usually don't.

It's important to understand this because 802.3af etc. does provide power without being asked - as a rest for a characteristic resistance on the receiver. Otherwise it wouldn't know if a PoE-capable device was connected. Up to 20v can be applied during this process but it is time limited. In general, 802.3 PoE supplies must monitor the current usage of the powered device and cut off power if it is too high or even too low for more than a short period of time. This is in part to prevent this overheating problem on devices that might, for some coincidental reason, fall into the appropriate resistance range to activate PoE.

In other words, 24v or even hundreds of volts for a few seconds is perfectly safe. 24v for minutes is likely to cause damage to devices without better protection than the spec requires. Old Ethernet equipment used to make the non-isolated components relatively easy to replace so that repairs after a problem like this were easier but now the isolation is a tiny surface mount part and replacing it will require tools and skill.

Thanks. Yeah, my fault - I was hosting a WIP Wordpress site for a client on a subdomain and forgot to set a strong password there.

I've filled the form you gotta fill in such situations, but I'm not hopeful I'll ever get this domain back.

> Should we make drugs illegal again and force people into rehab? Should we require drug tests for homeless people to receive government help like SF CAAP payments?

I think this is dealing with the problem far too late for it to be effective. Rehab treats the drug as though it's the problem. The drug is not the problem. The person using the drug is trying to manage some sort of stress or situation that they otherwise can't deal with. If you get a person off drugs but don't address their health, home-security, childhood trauma, abusive relationships, etc. At best they're simply going to shift to dealing with that issue through some other way: Food addiction, sex addiction, video games, abusing a loved-one, etc. And if it's not obvious, this is a repeating cycle.

We need to do a better job of taking care of people in our communities. Before they end up using drugs (or other types of dangerous coping mechanisms). If we can't get to them before, we need to pick them up and start taking care of them. The trouble is (at least in the US), our approach to community support is contrary to our sense of individual freedoms - we don't want the government to support struggling individuals at the cost of individual freedoms (see healthcare, food and housing subsidy, etc)

AI is a much more divisive factor than Javascript. AI polarises the end user and the massive corporate cloud entities with the technological capital to compute what an individual cannot. The corporate cloud is the real evil which has taken away the agency of individaul developers.
USD is at a higher level of abstraction than gltf (IMO). It was created to ease things such as scene graph LOD (levels of detail) for example. It's made for very large scenes. It was created as a file format to exchange very large scenes for 3d animated movies. Inside of a USD file you can point to many other files, for example GLTF, OBJ files etc.

It seems like a great format so far, but I'm skeptical based on Adobe, Apple, Autodesk track records for "open" formats.
