I don’t think that blocking torrent downloads of movies is in any way interpretable. It’s illegal. Period. The rest can be debated, I’m not talking about that.

> on behalf of corporations

Who said that? I’m talking about illegal content. It’s on behalf of the government.

The items you mentions fall into the gray area. CP and pirated movies are not in the gray area, they are not debatable. The decision has been taken and confirmed in the court of law and Google has to follow it. It’s as black and white as can be.

For my first circuit board, I plugged my soldering iron into a Variac to run it cool, dipped it in beeswax like an ink pen, drew the pattern on bare copper board from radio shack, then etched in ferric chloride. Getting it working involved some hacking away at bridged traces, but I was super proud.

I think it was some analog guitar pedal circuit, which is what I would have been into at the time.

I discovered that a jar of ferric chloride lasted almost indefinitely if I aerated it, don't know the chemistry behind that.

I think you're right that other aspects of the sport impose upper limits of efficient sizes, but I don't think the article (or the original poster) was using 'giant musclemen' as benchmark for strength and height.

Before I get too deep - I don't follow tennis. I'm just a sport nerd. I went and grabbed the 2007 and 2023 ATP men's ranking (cause that's whats on ESPN.com) and grabbed the heights of the top 10. Average height in 2007 was 71.8 inches (1.82m) and average height in 2023 was 74.5 inches (1.89m).

Djokovic (who is in top 3 in both lists... absolutely amazing) went from being tied for tallest in the top 10, to being tied for 4th tallest.
I feel it’s kind of important that to realize that high density cheap fuels is what made modern civilizations work.

Yes, you can still enjoy your park.

Would most Americans be okay not being able to fly to see their families on Thanksgiving?

Or tax gasoline so heavily, food, clothing, electronics, healthcare all become expensive?

I really hope the policy answer is not a version of “forced covid” .

Now the issue really is how can we make those high density fuels from solar.

Do what naturally happened over 1000s of years in hours.

Gasoline at 45MJ/kg is 10x denser than batteries. It makes long distance aviation possible.

It makes cars, boats and ships possible for transport.

Moving things around the planet cheap and fast makes humans happy.

IMO the answer isn’t to reduce movement of humans and foods, but to figure out a greener, cheaper way to do it.

I only used aria2c once a long time ago, but it was awesome for huge files. As I recollect one thing it does is download different sections of a file in parallel over multiple connections, which speeds up downloads from servers that throttle per connection.

I'm amazed he was hired in the first place, they must not have bothered to do any background checks at all.

I think it revealed a lot ideologically about how Reddit operates, in particular this likely explains some of the more controversial subreddit bans in recent years.
This is my favorite part about LLM’s and image generators: they are the ultimate rapid prototyping tool. I really benefited from making it a habit to use them a lot for coding and anything else, as I started learning what works and what doesn’t and thus bootstrapped a whole set of tools for myself and my team.

While I have not used a Penclic mouse, I am pretty sure that it is inferior to using a small Wacom Intuos graphic tablet instead of a mouse, like I do.

The tablet is no larger than a traditional mouse pad, it is even somewhat smaller.

The stylus, i.e. the pen, is much lighter than any pen-like mouse can be, and it has better resolution and accuracy. Because the pen works contactless and it is very light, you can move it very fast. You can point to any location on the screen faster than with anything else.

Because the pen is so light, I usually retain it between my fingers while I am touch typing, without noticing that I still keep it, which shortens a lot the transitions between typing and using the graphic pointer. I leave the pen on the tablet only before starting to type a long text.

The tablet is switched to "relative" mode at startup, so it behaves as an ordinary mouse. I use it under Linux, where it has excellent support.

The equivalent of the mouse buttons is configurable. I have chosen to touch the tablet with the pen for left click, and to use the two thumb buttons for right click and for double left click.

After I have begun to use a graphic tablet instead of a mouse, trackball, trackpoint or touchpad a couple of years ago, my only regret is that I have not thought to try this earlier, because at least for me it is much more comfortable than the alternatives, and it is also much more precise, being easy to use for drawings or signatures.

There are chemical processes, most notably photochemical processes like photosynthesis, that funnel molecular states into new configurations so rapidly, that observation of the details of the reaction is impossible. This research simulated one class of such reactions (conical intersection reactions) by modeling the wave function that governs the time evolution of the reaction using a quantum computer, allowing them to run the reaction 100B times slower than occurs in nature, and to measure the quantum state evolution. They are thus able to get a clear picture of how the reaction proceeds, as measured by several different observables, from the simulation.

It's a direct demonstration of the utility of quantum computation in molecular modeling. The meta-relevance, to me at least, is that it demonstrates real progress in one of the areas where quantum computation is most likely to have an important impact.

"Just because you don't like the law, it doesn't mean you can break it without consequences." - Have you heard of jury nullification? This is not a bad-faith jab, I'm really curious.

I loved the sound the original Mac disk drives made as they sped up and down. Incompatible with everything else but it was at a time when that didn't matter all that much.
I wrote about this in one of my articles. I use a Kinesis Advantage 360. It's like the Kinesis Advantage but split. I like it, but there are draw backs. Namely, the clusters are not mirrored across both keyboards.

Left Side
Backspace
Delete
Ctrl
Alt
Home
End

Right
Super Key
Ctrl
Page Up
Page Down
Enter
Space

The keys are easy to hit, but the biggest problem is the space bar. On a typical keyboard the space bar is accessible from either thumb. This makes it so that if you are using the mouse and are playing an FPS, then you can still jump. This is not possible on the Kinesis Advantage withought modifying the keys. I use the Smartset program, and have a profile specifically for games that fixes this, but it might be annoying to some

The second is that fact that there is not print screen key on the advantage. I take a lot of screenshots for work so this is annoying. I've set one of the 4 macro keys to be the key combination I need to make screenshots, but again this required some configuration.

With that being said I still like the keyboard. My hands feel great even after 12 hours of mixed browsing, coding, and writing. My posture is better, and I don't get pain in my vertebrae next to my shoulder blade. But there are definitely things I would change if I was making it from scratch. Maybe in the future I'll Diy a dactyl-manuform^1 which has the perfect switches and layout for me.

And another important point, public figures tend to have assistants with them that carry the money or the cards or just pay later.
From personal experience, if you use an EMV card that has been blocked on TfL services, you will sometimes be able to travel. I did this by accident once. I could see TfL repeatedly trying to debit my account with incorrect information for about a week. I doubt all of their readers are offline, and I suspect that a card gets blacklisted if it declines. I suspect this is also because they only charge at the end of the day once they have computed the correct fare (with capping etc)
Oh god that sounds like an unfortunate design haha

If they are legitimate Tom and Jerry videos that's not an issue. If you make your own videos and call them Tom and Jerry, that's a potential trademark violation.

The idea of trademarks is to prevent customer confusion, and while there's some abuse and perverse incentives most trademark law makes sense through that lens. You are allowed to sell your used Ford F150 under the trademark Ford, because that's an accurate description. It doesn't stop being a Ford, pretty much no matter what you do to it. But if you build a car from scratch and claim it's a Ford F150 that's a trademark violation because you would be pretending that the vehicle was made by the Ford Motor Company, with their manufacturing standards, quality control etc.

Really fascinating that Pete Sampras was coached out of the two handed backhand and that is widely regarded as the catalyst to his ascension to dominance for a decade.

"He was spotted by Dr. Peter Fischer, a pediatrician and tennis enthusiast, who coached Sampras until 1989. Fischer was responsible for converting Sampras's double-handed backhand to single-hand with the goal of being better prepared to win Wimbledon"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Sampras

Sampras really changed tennis, making baseline players almost obsolete, and I always rooted for Agassi because his game seemed so much more interesting, more about precision than raw power.

My how times change.

> I try not to think of it as whining, I try to think of it as the type checker helpfully pointing out, "hey, you haven't done your due diligence here."

It can be both true that you haven't done your due diligence in the sense that you haven't taken care to handle the entire range of all possible inputs (or at least it seems like it when you're only considering the relevant code section in isolation), but that as a practical matter it's just not a problem. So the time spent attending to what it's nagging you to take care of is time wasted. Alternatively, you're not even a program maintainer, you're just trying to build the thing so you can run it for your own one-off use, but it refuses to even build because of some issue totally irrelevant to what it is you're about to use it for.

The approach that the TypeScript compiler takes is beneficial—complain about the thing, but don't let that prevent the compiler from running to completion and still producing a program that you can run.

For me the main thing I've gained from ChatGPT (3.5) is I no longer dread that wall of lack of knowledge. Where you know so little you don't even know where to start and the task seems dreadful and insurmountable. Just a couple questions later you've got an intro, some jargon, some sample code. It makes it much easier to put the pieces together and ask followup questions.
It’s hard to tell what will work well and what won’t.

I asked it to create me a python library for the GT1151 touch screen controller and it came up with working code on the first try. Then I asked it to add support for that chip’s gesture mode and it came up with completely reasonable looking but nonfunctional code, because it didn’t understand the gesture mode implementation on the chip.

Perhaps that's a good thing in some ways. The communities with only a very light-touch moderation to get rid of spam are often the most enjoyable, where you can speak relatively freely without the looming threat of some overbearing mod censoring and banning you because they don't like your opinion.

I'm still using a Penclic mouse. I love it, works great for me.
I suggest the following edits:

1. change: "high-level" -> "the highest professional levels". I'd wager Venus could play well easily until her 60s if not longer. There are many levels in tennis. There is are a range of competitive club levels. How often and how intensely she plays is another question.

2. Change: "the" -> "one" (w.r.t. "Pickleball is the sport she can still play.)

Stepping back, in my view, some of the most interesting questions are psychological and personal. If you were to talk to a hundred former tennis pros about aging, what would they say? How much do they play? How does it feel? How do they shift their mindset as their bodies age? To what degree is tennis still fun for them?
For music this is the case AFAIK.

This maybe calls for a way to tell the compiler that we don't care what value this object has, but we promise it does already have some concrete value.

As written this can't work, but once the compiler understands what's going on it seems fine.

In Rust I'd imagine this as a method on MaybeUninit<T> the type which might be a T but maybe not yet. It's possible we can just assume_init() today where T is something like a byte but if it's unclear, a method which expresses our intent to get an unspecified value is better than just saying well, maybe you can assume_init() but we're not sure if that means what you intended.
Coding LLMs really shine for greenfield projects in popular programming languages.

They don’t do half as well in large codebases that use ad-hoc frameworks. For example, it has no idea how to retrieve the currently-logged-in user object for a new endpoint you want it to build.

The solution there is to fine-tune it on your codebase, but that’s likely a few years away for the average LLM user.
API access is still free for moderation and accessibility tools. It’s just third party clients with high API usage that were effectively killed with the pricing change.
The use of a truncated Y-axis in charts is a topic of ongoing debate among data visualization experts. The appropriateness of truncating the Y-axis depends on the specific context and intent of the visualization.

There are cases where small differences are critically important, and the larger context might obscure these differences. In these scenarios, truncating the Y-axis can be helpful for emphasizing the variations in the data that matter. For instance, if you're tracking minute changes in a vital medical reading, it's essential to be able to see those fluctuations clearly.

Scientifically speaking, the representation of data should always prioritize clarity and accuracy. It's neither universally right nor wrong to truncate the Y-axis. Instead, the decision should be based on the specific use case, the intended audience, and the importance of the message the data is meant to convey.

The best practice is to always be transparent about how data is visualized. If a Y-axis is truncated, it should be evident to viewers, and the reasons for doing so should be justifiable based on the data's context and importance.

So you don't believe it's a fabrication either and we can agree it doesn't make a strong case that reform is unnecessary and school textbooks are incapable of being improved.

Of course the best evidence either way on the latter is the contents of textbooks that are actually being used. How did they get that way? Heard anything that might give us ideas on where to look a bit more closely?

I thought that `-C -` checks the output file for the offset
`schema.parse()` is equivalent to pydantic `MyModel.parse_obj()` and throws if invalid.

`const result = schema.safeParse(val)` does not throw, and if `!result.success`, `result.error` contains a `ZodError` object with all the details. It's common to further transform this error object, perhaps to make it more human-readable or suitable for an API response.

Typically I find myself using `safeParse` far more than `parse`.
I'm slowly grokking Haskell and I like the genius (or madness?) of having the type system do a lot to verify that the program is correct.

A proper deductive argument that contains no errors will be valid, but it won't necessarily be sound if the premises are incorrect. In that sense deduction can most certainly be "wrong".
