It's difficult for someone with 0 knowledge of the language to really understand representation clauses. It does seem to be similar to enum values in C++?

As for the record representation, my understanding is that it is equivalent to having a normalized __attribute__((__packed__)), where smart compiler padding is disabled and you can arbitrarily decide the memory layout of your struct?
Lithium Ion without further designation refers to Lithium Polymer or plain Lithium Ion cells such as this one: https://eu.nkon.nl/products/sony-murata-us18650-vtc6.html

Other chemistries are usually indicated by a different designation, such as LiFePO4, LTO and so on.

Perfectly competent pilots have killed more people than depressed ones since the beginning of flight. Empirically, non-depressed pilots are more of a risk to the public. But they don't get this kind of stigma.
Debt is devalued because the money is getting cheaper, I know in 20 years my debt will be easier to manage even though the payments in the nominal denomination of currency has not changed. Inflation is programmatic in a monetary system where currency can only be created through debt, if there werent inflation then every existing dollar would eventually disappear to pay interest to the fed, and there would still be outstanding debt. The practical implications of this are that even if there is a touch of inflation then it can cause a contagion even that shuts down the banks.
It works just fine for that application. But: it is a little bit more expensive for the same capacity, and unfortunately the voltage is a little bit lower so it isn't a drop-in replacement.

> Here's my take: you don't really own something if you can't repair it

What if the bottleneck is the "owner's" repair skills? See cars.

I wonder if this might be closer to what you mean "You dont really own something if it's not repairable." Of course, "repairable" has a lot of gray area but that's a separate issue.
lol, thats not how it works at all.
The only reason HFT players want these shortwave transmitters is that the other players are getting them too, and they have to compete. Once everybody has shortwave transmitters, they will no longer have any benefit, they will just become a new mandatory entry cost. That's an enormous waste of resources (both human capital and spectrum).

Why not just make trading using radio below 30MHz illegal? It completely solves the problem with no tangible downside. If nobody else can do it, nobody has any reason to start doing it. Enforcement would be trivial.
Do you know what prevents people from doing that? Being able to get help for their problems. Do you know what doesn't? Forcing them to hide their problems so they are able to keep their job.

The discussion isn't really about whether suicidal pilots should be allowed to fly - it's whether the system should allow for pilots with mental health concerns (which would be a large majority of them over the course of an entire career) to seek treatment for it without losing their job.

> Loeb could not have been any more mainstream or credentialed, yet here he was, saying that maybe an alien spaceship had arrived.

Speaking as a former physicist (but not astrophysicist), at least to us practicing physicists, someone being well credentialed hardly lends any credence to their more out there theories. I know multiple renowned professors in high energy and/or cosmology, including at least one in my department (Princeton Physics), who have been pursuing more wacky theories late in their careers that others in respective fields ignore for the most part. In fact, being well credentialed probably makes it easier to gravitate toward the fringe, since there’s no more normal career objective to pursue. No comment on this specific case.

I'm far from an expert so you should probably ask someone other than me. But my two cents would be not to paste any code until you have understood it, or unless it's written by a source you trust, or alternatively only paste it somewhere you don't care - when I'm playing around testing stuff I might not fully understand on a linux server I do it on a VPS that's unimportant to me, and that if I mess it up I can very easily restore it back to a clean OS install and I have a bash script ready to reinstall all software I want & all the profile customisations etc.

AP better be safer than me on average, because anytime it gets a little confused it just squawks loudly and hands control back to me. Then if there's a crash 1 millisecond later they'll chalk that up to the human.

I really find it hard to understand how anyone who has driven a Tesla with AP for any distance thinks it is safer than a human driver. Maybe just drivers who are always texting or drunk. AP is the least defensive driver on the road, it needs close supervision.
There’s learning, and there’s practice. Both are necessary.
Never learned awk or committed esoteric cli incantations to memory. Don’t get me wrong, I can get around on the cli, but sed, awk, etc just didn’t seem like a good cost/benefit investment. I’m also not a sysadmin.

They are currently worse in many ways. So, perhaps the computer vision systems need to continue to improve until such time as they deliver clearly superior results to the as-observed outcomes of human drivers.

I worked on the vision system for an autonomous vehicle program in 1991, using the processing power available then. Our team held several world records at the time for different categories of completely autonomous travel on public highways.

If you fit any kind of curve between what (relatively little) we could do then for ~$200K in equipment and what a production car with < $1K of BOM costs can do today, it's reasonable to predict that well within my lifetime that vision-only autonomous driving systems could be better than a human on typical roads (absent snow cover).
As I noted at the very beginning of my first comment, I am a huge critic of many things that Tesla does, and releasing their software in beta to casual drivers is something I'm strongly opposed to. All I'm saying here is that this specific critique of this specific video is misplaced.
There is a difference between building something easily repairable and actively preventing it from being repaired by not offering parts and serializing components just because.

yes, and they're fighting against what made their products popular in the first place.

bikes work because they are cheap, and you could change any part with a standardised spare in under 30 minutes and keep going.

Nowadays for ebikes ?
brands like Shimano have "generations" of motors, each going with specific batteries (with baka yoke features and no other engineering), crankset, tooling, and accessories, so that you have to buy a whole new bike for every defect when they stop making parts.

I won't be getting a new ebike, I'll convert a conventional bike next time.

This industry is shooting themselves in the foot for short term profits.
The solution here (and for most things) is education. These big bike companies (and any company selling large LiPo batteries) should fund battery safety programs for kids as part of the general fire safety lessons they already learn, as well as publish repair and safety guidelines for consumers. They should also offer low cost battery refurbishment and swaps.

All ownership is a legal fiction, including land ownership.

Seriously: on the scale of 1 to 10 for risky things you could do I think DIY e-bike battery repair should rank higher than parachute jumping.

The level of scrum-apologism here is I suppose both unsurprising but also egregiously sad.

Scrum is garbage. Most software development methodology is garbage. And even if there are theoretically-good ones that are "only" garbage because people "implement them the wrong way", that too is the methodology's fault. If something is so hard to implement that most people get it wrong, with disastrous results, then that thing is indeed garbage, regardless of its merits when "done right".

We apply this principle to technical process: if someone manages to delete the production database, it's probably not that person's fault, but the fault of the processes around access controls and incident response. If everyone implements scrum catastrophically wrong, that's scrum's fault.
Sure, your 20s is the end of the easy part. Between natural growth of your body, and the hot-house environment of organized schooling, you can't help but grow. You become more capable and aware each year just by living. But you leave the greenhouse in your 30s. Your hormones stabilize, and the impersonal bureaucracies around you are more interested in extracting value than improving you. You miss it because youth is wasted on the young.

As an adult, any growth, or increase in personal capacity will only happen as the result of choices and actions you make. But you might be very surprised how much you can still grow. It is cliche, but I've watched a lot of men turn 40 and 50, and they are either in the best shape of their life, or heading downhill and picking up steam.
The leap is an awesome chair. Plus you can get it sized down if you’re a petite person.

GitBook hasn't been open source since October 2018 (https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook) and software is judged by its most recent version. GitBook in its current form is a proprietary web service. The October 2018 version is open source, but it's also abandonware.

VSCodium does exclude the proprietary features of Visual Studio Code, but I don't see how that should disqualify VSCodium from being open source. (I use VSCodium frequently and I am satisfied with its feature set, so I strongly disagree with your claim that it is not usable in a useful manner.) VSCodium is also maintained by a community that is not sponsored by Microsoft, so I don't think it's fair to say that it is intentionally designed to be inferior to Visual Studio Code. We both agree that Visual Studio Code is not open source.

Elasticsearch (Elastic License, Server Side Public License) and HashiCorp (Business Source License) have adopted licenses that do not provide the four freedoms, and the software licensed in that way is not open source.
> You said
> * HTF provide liquidity.
> * HTF beeing invited into markets formerly excluding them.
> * Regulation attempts on HFT hit retail traiders too.
> * You disagree, that HTF is rent seeking?

> Imho, all those statements are weak.

> Providing liquidity in markets is essential but markets worked long before HFT was a thing.

Correct, but the previous incarnation of liquid providers (mostly humans on stock exchange floors) was far more expensive and less efficient than HFT.
This is why HFT was able to compete on price of liquidity provision (i.e., the spreads came down) and win.

These legacy firms did lose out from HFT (and are actually behind some of the anti HFT rhetoric out there) but I assume people in HFT see technological disruption as a good thing, even if bad for some incumbents.

The idea that retail traders or institutional investors are the ones that lost out from HFT lacks any evidence, AFAIK.

> FTH is just another way of going "meta" (for VC?) simply beeing faster. Until they are the market.

Your wording is a bit unclear, but if you are hinting that HFTs are operating at a loss until they capture sufficient market share, this is demonstrably false. HFTs make a lot of money (you can look up Virtu's financial statements for proof since it is a public company).

> The big question, as you too said is.

> > It is still possible that changing market structure or regulation [...] could be somehow beneficial for markets or society as a whole, but this is far from obvious.

It would be if it was true. I admit it's a theoretical possibility, but I am yet to see a convincing argument of it.
How could IPv6 help on that? They could just use the prefix to figure out which network you're coming from.
One mildly good thing to say about Loeb is that he spoke out very harshly about the quantum woo that the UAP "whistleblower" David Grusch invoked to potentially explain how aliens got here without travelling great distances (something about the "holographic principle", which really hasn't got anything to do with aliens appearing "in our dimension").

If you go back through news articles from 2017, 2019 and 2021 you will find that some "academy to the stars" claimed to have retrieved parts of crashed UAPs. There's some woo about how holding it near people had strange effects on them. They put it under a microscope and found some layered lead-bismuth alloy that had no known use on earth. And they found something that resembled frog skin.

So you have crashed UAPs, reverse engineering and non-human biologics. They even tried selling the reverse engineered tech back the Government through I think Bigelow aerospace. So that's who is behind the current UAP push.

There's also some folklore circulating about pilots having their brains literally scrambled by these UAPs.

Loeb at least sees through all this and speaks out against it. But all he seems to have is some spherules of metal from the bottom of the ocean which I'd say he has little to no evidence even came from space, let alone from a crashed UAP.

Unfortunately, if you look far enough into these things, you just find a trail of cash, extracted one way or another from a scientifically illiterate general public.

I'm not sure what the answer is. Yes, we need to look, which means spending money. But we need to make sure it isn't going into the pockets of pseudoscientists and people who use "classification" to cover up their (non-reputable) sources.

I can't speak for Paris specifically but we have infrastructure for e-scooters; It's bike lanes. If you have a bike lane available, you must use it. If not, the city has decided that mixing bikes/scooters/et. al. with cars is reasonable to do so at that location.

Failing, inadequate bike infrastructure is the real problem in most cases.
The thing is, what if your parents aren't educated. Because of lots of reasons, my parents didn't even attend high school, they wouldn't have been able to tutor me after I was 10. I really think tutoring should be done in school else it would be very difficult to rise above your previous generations. Also, children should play after school, not do more work IMHO.

Is it plausible that the US military would use "UAP" as a cover for tests of new technology, and make up/classify new footage to keep the conspiracy theories alive? Completely paranoiac or possible?

Visual Studio is not visual studio code. Also if you have a hundred thousand compilation units, it might be time for some shared libraries instead of one monolithic program.

What are you talking about? This whole thread is discussing how private enterprise is failing consumers. Meanwhile, countless examples exist of government-run entities and non-profits that are well-liked and less expensive for consumers.

I don't think a large-scale repair entity created by the government is the answer to this problem, but it's clear you have a bias towards business, and in the repair industry, business is the problem and we need a government solution. I don't understand why anyone ever has your attitude. Any organization can be run poorly and its leaders susceptible to corruption, whether that be a government one or a private entity. You have to understand the problem to offer solutions and in many cases, a profit motive simply does not provide the best outcome for consumers.
I work on a military base and can attest to this. Many prior enlisted (veterans) feel that they get shafted (screwed or taken advantage of) by the contract between themselves and USG during their service. Their pay is low and transitioning back to a civilian lifestyle is incredibly difficult, despite their compulsory, Congress-mandated transition assistance training. Maximizing their disability claims is one way of getting what they deserve.

The VA has a disability rating system that goes from 0% to 100%. Obtaining a 100% disability rating guarantees a certain amount of monthly income for life. The step increase in pay from 80% disability to 100% disability is large. There’s also a logarithmic function that makes it increasingly difficult to raise your disability rating after each disability claim. Hypothetically, losing your left leg might qualify for 50% disability, losing a second leg might qualify for 75%, and then losing an arm might qualify for 87.5%. Pretty horrendous.

That being said, many service members aim to hack the system by making disability claims for everything under the sun. Service members often collect disabilities such as arthritis, lumbar disc degradation, knee injuries, sleep apnea, and depression. Like Pokémon - gotta catch ‘em all.
