> his kind of impasse would trigger an election. In the US you just get unending gridlock.

True. Would not help us before November 17th, though.

Also, parliamentary democracies do fall into the trap of back-to-back snap elections. Given the current situation is likely to change within thirteen months, I'm not seeing a fundamental advantage to a parliamentary system with respect to this dynamic.
I feel like this is one of the unintuitive things about any "craft". If you do more of it, period, it generally still makes you better in the end. Write bad short stories. Throw ugly pots. Paint wonky landscapes.

Maybe it's the practice, but I feel like it's also our tendency to talk ourselves out of an idea if we can't fully see an end-product we're excited about. It feels like a smart decision, especially if you're overly analytical—you're saving wasted time! But it's also a sure fire way to make sure you never create anything at all. I've had a lot of "useless" software projects remain "useless", but I've also had some that have found more utility in the journey.

We're landing among a few cliches here (you miss 100% of the shots you don't take!, etc. etc.), but you get it.

As far as successful calculations go, NaN is useless and infinity is next to useless.

And any nonzero finite number might as well be 1 to make it easier to think about.

0 and 1 would work, as long as you have a final scaling factor per node. -1 and 1 should work too.

Also the entire concept of a floating point is weak enough at 3-4 bits and collapses entirely when you have 1 or 2.
Fair point. But what if there suddenly needs to be a huge expansion in the catalog? What if I need to change or modify several attributes suddenly? How can this thing scale? Ack!

think about it another way: it happened halfway through the current life of the space program

and the chronology also makes sense: they sent probes straight to mars and straight to venus on the expectation of life and everything, but then dashing hundreds of years of fantasy tropes and imagination upon arrival, the new goal was to expand the search to much further destinations pending ongoing public interest and location within orbit of planets with much larger orbits like Jupiter and everything beyond

so timing wise, there have only been a few years wasted in waned funding, and it was about time for the happenstance of that test to occur, logically

It's also a different context. The problem with presidential systems is they become despots. That historically hasn't been a problem in America, because it's a big country with multiple power centers.
I mean nobody is stopping the Republicans from doing a sober self-assessment and agreeing among themselves on some sort of compromise - other than Republicans.

Besides the factional issues described in the article, they also have several loose cannons in their ranks; George Santos, credibly charged with numerous frauds; Matt Gaetz, who has had his own brushes with the law and is a gleeful consensus-wrecker; and multiple hardline ideologues like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, and Andy Biggs, who are out at the ideological wings of the party but also have an apparently bottomless appetite for publicity, because their antics generate a reliable flow of donations which makes them less dependent on leadership for campaign funding.

I think there’s a very very low chance. I live in Utah and have land in Wyoming. I own the hybrid (powerboost) F150 and use it for its intended purposes constantly. I am in southern Utah and northern Wyoming all the time. There is simply zero infrastructure for electric vehicles in the areas I frequent. I get 600 miles per tank and there are gas stations everywhere, zero charging stations. Plus people hate Elon and the cybertruck is the ugliest car ever made.

I’m not a fan of the externalities of gas powered small engines, but I strongly disagree that the ends justify the means.

I simply don’t want businesses making decisions about which of their competitors products I can own and use. If the ban derives from a community interest in stopping a nuisance, that’s fine.

Sure, but sometimes they're not. Those sometimes can be very, very critical. Think of the Red Hat (and others) local privilege escalation, for example: Red Hat released a CVE with vague language and with no clear steps to take. If you ran a server that had lots of users, some of whom might be mischievous, you'd be pissed, because you'd be wondering what the heck to do before one of your mischievous users did something.

> In contrast, here's how the old Venetians elected the Doge, in a process so complex that it was presumably impossible to game to anyone's advantage:

It's not particularly complex. The numbers may seem arbitrary (there's actually a deep logic to them, although they may have been found by trial and error) but you don't need to understand the numbers to understand the process: each jury elects a set of people for its successor, and then a random subset of the elected people are picked to actually form the next jury, and there are several rounds of this until the final jury elects the Doge himself.

It's not immune to negotiation and horse-trading, but it makes it harder; probabilistic systems aren't vulnerable to Arrow's theorem, so tactical voting is much rarer. In practice it diffused power from any individual or jury, and acted to preserve a stable oligopoly; it ensured there were enough noble families to fill out a jury, but not much more than that (and getting functioning government from them absolutely relied on politeness and good faith and all that). Whether that's better or worse than a two-party system is open to debate.

> The end result is what looks like a significant over-engineering, but is really just an expression of how difficult it is to transport high data rate signals around PCBs and cables.

It's not just that. If it was just data speeds that's way easier, passive 10/40GBit DAC cables have been there for long time, they just use twinax (2 wire coax cable instead of differential pairs IIRC) and can go up to 7m passive, but that makes for not so bendy cable.

But USB-C so much more than few data lines, high power, legacy USB2, power negotiation and various alternate functions all in same connection.
> The wrinkle here is that the cyber truck starts delivery in November

I have a hard time believing that there will be any meaningful quantities - there's absolutely no idea on pricing just a few weeks out from "deliveries" (but I'm willing to nearly guarantee that the promised $39K and $49K models will be nowhere in sight).

Well, maybe not such a hard time. The Tesla Semi "started delivery" last November and supposedly is in production, but no-one's been able to find out pricing information on that, either...

The problem is that there are options to not carry all thru the cable.

Feature matrix of port is less of a problem (althought can still be confusing) but fact that one feature can work with one cable but not other is massive mess.

And power direction too, it's utter mess

What sorts of projects OP? Can you give details?

I tend to write scripts for things that through off my flow state in the past -- generating a secure passphrase, changing my MAC address, running a series of perfectly legal nmap scans, spitting out the list of wordpress usernames on a blog of dubious origins, quickly decoding simple ciphers like ROT13 (or rot... whatever) and a few others I won't list out in public.

The "project" is never the code, in an app sense, but more... speeding up OSINT, for lack of a better phrasing. Getting things to a point where if they haven't patched, it's more of a moral decision: do I want to go into your computer?

Do I want to everything but cross that line?

And if so, how do I walk right up to it as quickly as possible without getting... throttled.

So for me, it's about what I want to know, and what the barriers other than the law are to getting it.

Your methods may vary. (No pun intended.)

So uh... IMHO, keep a dot ODS spreadsheet or text document, with a strong password or passphrase, and journal / data keep in there.

Libreoffice uses strong encryption, so on computers like MacOS it's easier to install and use than Veracrypt, which needs FUSE. You can do fun hacks like make the password a hash of a few words or a serial number, designed to be forgotten if lost or ununused. Fail safe, fail stupid is my motton :-)
We didn't had any actual competition to Apple cables in comparison tho. It's literally apple(s)-to-oranges comparison
It does meter the power being used though. It logs power usage and can measure resistance. You are 100% right that actual cable testers are much more capable but wouldn't that be enough to know if the cable can handle the wattage that it advertises? Wouldn't a bad cable have high resistance, or missing emarker tags (they can lie about this though) ?

For data transfer that wouldn't be a good metric though, so again you are right!
I sure hope so. I absolutely loathe the phrase 'two party system'; it's not a system or an institution, it's just an emergent outcome of our voting mechanisms that has become a self-fulfilling prophecy while having absolutely no basis in law, statutory or precedential.

Unfortunately it's become embedded in American life as to become a thought-terminating cliche (though not as used here!): mentioning it typically produced a murmur of recognitional agreement, which then serves to drain the energy out of discussing problematic or perverse electoral and legislative outcomes. This has been exploited by politicians of all stripes to evade any sort of electoral accountability and shut down any new entrants into political markets.

insert this.gif :-). One of the things that would be interesting would be to understand if a specific kind of bacteria in the gut was the cause or if it was a ratio of some sort. One could imagine an easy to use diagnostic test[1] that could help inform you if you needed to do something or not.

If this causality pans out (and it would if it was replicated several times) then this would go a long way to helping people figure out if they needed to do something to avoid "early onset Alzheimers" or even Alzheimers in general. An acquaintance had a fecal transplant (yeah it sounds yucky but it isn't really) which consisted of a course of broad spectrum anti-biotics followed by the introduction of a "non-Cdiff gut biome".
