There are also infinitely many rationals between any two distinct irrationals.

My favorite way of visualizing the difference uses the fact that every rational has a repeating decimal after some nth decimal place, and no irrational has a repeating decimal. Say you want to construct a number x, where 0 < x < 1, by drawing integers 0 through 9 randomly from a hat. Each integer drawn from the hat is placed at the end of the decimal; for example, if you draw 1,3,7,4 then the decimal becomes 0.1374. You then draw, say, 1, and it becomes 0.13741, and so on. If you could draw infinitely many times from the hat, what is the probability that you'll construct a number with a repeating sequence? That would give a rational number.

> No because DJI, XPENG, BYD, and a ton of other Chinese companies have this 'move fast and break things' mentality X100 that most American firms don't have.

Respectfully, that's ridiculous. The Silicon Valley has a long tradition of "move fast and break things".

No no no, this time, it's just that the Chinese companies are simply a lot better than the Western drone companies. Yes, there are many excuses to make ("it's cheaper for them"), but even without considering the price, the Western drones mostly feel like DJI 10 years ago.

The Parrot Anafi has been fairly nice for a few years now, but for some reason Parrot struggles to sell them (I suspect that US companies dismiss them because they are not from the US?). Skydio just announced a new drone that seems reasonable. Both quite a lot more expensive than DJI, so here is your excuse.
Yeah that’s fair, I’m really looking forward to some positive changes from the new ranked choice voting but it’s going to take time for stuff to get better.
The problem is the wrong kinds of regulation by regulatory capture by the NIMBYs and the very rich. The mainstream is a Ponzi scheme where most of the value created by workers goes to feed a tiny, vampiric rent-seeking class in exchange for crumbs.

>There just aren't enough games per engine to get the heavy machinery shaken down properly.

It's more a quality than quantity problem. The best showcase of Godot is a badly reviewed port of a wii game, one which is made with some closed source fork of Godot engine. And that Wii game still is probably more ambitious than 99.9% of anything else shown publicly, be it a fully shipped game or a tech demo. If you could make one big splash, the rest will come out and start poking in (again, similar to what Godot did. But they had the fortune for someone else to make a splash in the form of bad PR).

Stride is in a similar footing, it has a few successful shipped games from multiple rebrandings ago, but that was when the engine was a closed source, in-house engine. Someone has the start the charge and oftentimes the engine makers are too busy working on the engine to properly battle-test it. But whoever is starting the charge needs to do a lot of things that get in the way of actually making their game. And you know that old mantra: "make games, not engines".

Using an untested one is like half game, half engine dev (compared to 90% engine dev, 10% game dev for rolling your own). And put simply many lack the talent to do that. And the few remaining are either already in industry, or choosing to work with proven tech.

by the way, your work in your Rust metaverse was really impressive. That's exactly the kind of trailblazing I'd want to do myself, but I feel I wanted to learn more in the C++/C# world of game development before jumping into Rust. My long long term goal (5-10 years out) is to one day hope for a proper renderer/engine core made in Rust while binding to some nicer scripting language above. I tire greatly of segfaults and especially concurrency issues in other languages.
It might look like Apple but their product demo in pages are extremely well thought. Especially video intros blending with mid-page areas. I am always excited to see their new product pages because they are one-upping every time they release a new one.
A lot of jobs don't really need to be done. They're only done because there's some demand for them. If wages increased in other places, workers in lower-paid jobs could be drawn away from those jobs, and those businesses can either adapt to less labor, or shut down. An example of this is restaurant labor. Restaurants in the US have an enormous number of workers per customer; it's a big reason why it costs so much to eat out there. Americans seem to expect to have a server constantly hovering over them.

If wages for other jobs increased a lot, servers could be enticed to leave the restaurant industry, and go elsewhere. No one really needs waiters. Customers can instead go to the counter and order themselves, and pick up their own food (this is usually called "counter service"). Eliminating all the servers in the US would free up a LOT of labor for more important tasks. This is just one example. People paid to pump gas at full-service gas stations is another (which has largely disappeared, except in two states, NJ and OR).
PDF is the obvious successor. Though there are some things you can do with PS you can't do with PDF, because PDF AFAIU isn't a Turing complete language (though newer versions of PDF allow embedding of Javascript, IIRC).
Clinic visits, including those for acute but straightforwardly treatable illness, just aren't where all the cost is in the system. You insure against chronic illness and major surgery. This is the logic of HDHP plans: it often really is a better deal just to pay cash for routine care, especially when you're (relatively) young and that care is likely to be cheap.

You can see echoes of this in other insurance products. Homeowners insurance, for instance: you insure against your house burning down, but you're probably better off not making a claim for non-catastrophic events, because you'll probably pay more than you would out of pocket, in the long run, when your rates go up.

Obviously, what makes health insurance especially annoying is that there isn't a transparent market for services the way there is for home repairs. Insurers work out special rate sheets with providers and quote bizarro numbers back to you. That sucks! But the underlying logic of insurance not reducing the cost of a pneumonia visit is still sound.

The United Nations World Population Prospects suggests current life expectancy in Australia in 2022 to be 83.79.

In fact, Australia enjoys one of the highest life expectancies in the world, ranking 8th out of 60 developed countries. That’s higher than the UK (81.65) and the US (79.05).

[ quote source ] https://www.hcf.com.au/health-agenda/health-care/research-an...

So it appears that both Australia and the UK with National Health services (named differently in AU) have greater life expectancies than the US.

Yes, worst case scenario, it performs as an IRA/401k.

Not only have I worked on some of the highest throughput workloads in FAANG, the ones I’ve worked on involve consuming from async queues (including Kafka) as a first class feature and use additional queueing under the hood to make the system work.

Kafka is overkill for the vast majority of users, including many in FAANG, and at companies in FAANG that I’ve been at, usually either an internal async queue or a bespoke solution for the problem is used instead. But more importantly, async queueing via Kafka-like technology itself is way over-applied. Polling a single node RDBMs with a horizontally scaling cache in front of it is a fine way to propagate eg config changes at massive scale. And many of the “real-time ingestion” use cases that people love using Kafka for are much better off simply being synchronous, with engineering effort instead focused on the ability to rapidly scale consumers up and down.
> There's no automatic file merge in general (hence .pacnew and such) so you gotta do it by hand (and not everything is available with the foo.d/ hack). The registry already operates at the value granularity so it bypasses this kind of issue.

it gets around this issue by creating a gigantic systemwide or per user bucket of crap that inevitably ends up inconsistent.

since it is custom there is no good tooling for doing diffs and many developers treat it as quasi private so the config values are often not human readable.

there are management utilities that work ok, until they don't. then you have to start over because who knows, it's all just crap.

it's literally like a jerry seinfeld joke. you think configuration should be sensible, then everybody just sees this bucket and goes wooopty woopty woo and then it's just filled with crap.

bill gates probably sent emails about it. "i tried to look at the registry, but then it was just trashed."

that is the registry. a little shadow filesystem with a bizarre layout with weird and incomplete tools that is filled with crap.
It is but the problem is life is unexpected and you’re going to need the insurance if something happens. Personally being in my 30s, I wouldn’t be comfortable having no insurance in America. If I needed surgery for a fall on my hike, without insurance it would bankrupt me. So if I have insurance anyway, I might as well see my primary care physician for a similar copay then go this route. For poor people they are covered through Medicare anyways so they wouldn’t really use this either. This market is for specific one off lab tests and to get referrals.

You're describing totally different modes of dining. That said, this is probably the direction we're heading: servers will make more. And dining out (actual dining out, not fast casual) will become more expensive.

That said, you have a point. We have a lot of make-work jobs. cough cough TSA. We also have a lot of jobs that look likely to go away to automation, e.g. long-distance trucking and certain warehouse roles. So maybe this balances out on its own without consumer prices rising too much.

Definitely interesting. I dislike thinking about such things though. I've been stuck on this one for a while:

Descartes posited, "I think, therefore I am" as a reassurance of our existence in a given moment. While this anchors our immediate awareness in some semblance of reality, it doesn't necessarily offer solace regarding the past or the future.

Imagine, if you will, an expansive universe characterized by its sheer randomness and chaos, existing for eons. If, in such a universe, a consciousness can spontaneously emerge and dissolve—much like a fleeting set of physics—how can we be certain of its duration? Does it persist for a lifetime, or does it flicker for just a moment?

Our memories might suggest a continuous existence, but what if they are merely ripples in this vast sea of randomness? It's an unsettling thought: could it be that we exist only in the fleeting now, borne from the precise alignment of countless variables just to perceive this very instant? And that perhaps, a moment ago or a moment hence, we simply weren't and won't be?

While such thoughts might be disconcerting, their implications are, in a way, irrelevant. Even if I could unequivocally prove this transient nature of existence, our ephemeral consciousness would barely have time to grasp it. Our understanding would be obliterated, only to be replaced by another random state.

And yet, if this fleeting moment is all we have, I'm honoured that you spent it reading this randomly generated comment. Not that you had much choice in the matter.

I think it was Shakespeare who said: it was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.

As a consumer, honestly, go for DJI.

A few years ago, assuming you had been willing to pay more for something worse but for ideological reasons (like you would buy a Fairphone, I totally get that), I would have adviced for an Anafi. But now the Anafi AI and Anafi USA are a lot more expensive, that's not for consumers anymore IMHO.

As a company, if you cannot go for DJI, then the alternatives to Mavic are Parrot Anafi and Skydio, I guess. For the bigger drones (like the Matrice series), honestly it's hard. Just be prepared to pay a lot more for a much worse product.

You don’t have insurance in america, you just have corruption. It’s a shakedown tax like when gunmen stop cars in africa.

Nowhere else would you have “insurance” which bankrupts you. How is that insurance? The point is it’s supposed to cover the whole cost for you.

>> with an estimated strength somewhere stern that of algeria and chile?

You have named two countries with credible and substantial air forces. Critically, both the Algerian air force and Chilean air force exist (the claim that I initially defended). Indeed, both Chile and Algeria have similarly-sized economies to Ukraine, and both countries operate sizeable air forces relative to other countries in South America and North Africa.

It is worth noting that the Ukrainian air force has 50+ F-16s scheduled for delivery in the near future.

>> Last I checked, they literally had more trainer aircraft than actual combat jets left.

They did have a relatively impressive number of L-39 jet trainers at the beginning of the war, as you alluded to. It is difficult to assess how many have survived the war. I would presume that you are correct to estimate that trainer aircraft have a lower attrition rate than combat jets during war.
