I really wish JS had some sort of preemption for stuff like this. We have web workers now, but those work more like starting up another process since you can't pass functions to them.
It's so elite institutions can avoid admitting only Asian students.
Accessibility is one (important) consideration but it's true that tools with a small, known subset of users can afford to ignore some constraints. For example, if you're a small American company, your internal tools might not need to support right-to-left languages.
Great start! I have a feeling this is going to cascade (no pun intended) in ways we haven't quite wrapped our heads around.

What is the underlying technology here? Is this an LLM driven workflow or Image generation driven workflow? I can imagine a way to do something similar either way given a dataset geared a particular direction. Speaking of... anyone have a lead on a CAD-esque dataset?

I have been trying to use local llm's for openSCAD code generation. My results have been quite terrible, and I would rather use Fusion or Solidworks if I am going to "sit down" and CAD something. I would really like to see the dataset used for this or something similar. My guess is this is an openSCAD or similar workflow.
> I expect a degree of intelligence to be important in the adapter.

No, that's done by the car. The adapter just changes the shape of the plug.

The car controls the charge curve.
Maybe, but if maintaining the current standard of the game requires the sacrifice of multiple human lives each year then it doesn't seem like there is much of an argument against downgrading.
CCS1 has separate AC and DC pins in the connector, but no cable has conductors for both. I've looked, since I was trying to make a passthrough testing device! Is CCS2 different?

If you get the DC cable, you have conductors on the pilot pins and the DC pins, and the AC pin positions are just empty.

If you get the AC cable, you have conductors on the pilot pins and the AC pins, and the DC part of the connector isn't there at all.
States are mutable whose value can be get/set via the ".val" property. However, the value of the states should be (ideally) an immutable object (or primitives).
Wouldn’t even need a full lane, just catch the ball early and simulate the rest. Not something I would play but I don’t bowl either.

What?

A few prominent stormers really changed the game about 15+ years ago because they were very forward looking when it came to leveraging technology in the industry. APIs provided them with hail data and they used that data to send out targeted mailers before canvassing neighborhoods and capturing the business before their competitors showed up. When they find a lead, they would move quickly to get a 3D model of the home courtesy of a company like Eagleview, which creates models from their arial photo database, which they would then provide to insurance companies with accurate estimates so they could get started quickly.

Needless to say, the process has been significantly streamlined to help homeowners deal with claims and get their roofs fixed, mostly to the benefit of the bigger stormers.

I can’t provide publicly available data, but when you look at the aftermath of these storms from an arial and satellite imagery perspective, you will see these events have grown in terms of objectively destructive impact.

I’m not suggesting there haven’t been dozens of other factors that have inflated the financial impact (codes, costs, appreciation, etc.).

My guess is the cumulative impact accounts of these other factors accounts for less than half of the financial impact, but I have honestly not looked at the data.

And yet... not trying (and often failing) will pretty much guarantee no success at all. It's a tough nut to crack.
Gusto is the attribute of most successful programmers I know. The gusto to always improve oneself, the gusto to follow through problems where the last 10% is actually 90% of the problem, the gusto to push through ambiguity, the gusto to follow things through on the timespan of years.

You don’t need formal training, or “experts” writing blog posts, or the latest fad technology. Gusto and gusto alone can make you successful.
Did you forget the part about not killing people?
> I have never heard of a single person not flying somewhere because of the TSA or other security ruined flying for them.

There have been quite a few flights I've not taken because of the security gauntlet. I really only fly when there is no other realistic option -- which means I that I only rarely do it recreationally anymore at all.

Getting to the plane has become utterly horrible.
Genius! It does make me think how much you could virtualize the experience while still requiring the same mechanics / ball control. Sort of like those virtual gold driving ranges.

Here's an idea: instead of requiring the whole 60ft lane, just have a lane ~10 ft long with a trap at the end. Based on the measured spin, angle etc, you could project the trajectory down the virtual lane.

Use one of those head-tracking techs (Dimenco screens?)

This would allow you to have like 3x-4x the number of bowling lanes in the same building footprint.
And that just leaves stellantis brands... Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall.
What do you mean by "because of how eyes work"? When using a debugger, one's eyes mostly remain on the code... I feel like I must just be truly missing what you're trying to say here.

I like your call-out of the "one true way" section. What I was thinking in that section is that my experience, having now traversed a number of "one true ways", is that: 1. Very nearly all tools and techniques are truly useful in some way in some circumstance, and 2. Not all "one true ways" are created equal; some tools and techniques are more useful than others and better stand the test of time.

In my view, using a debugger to understand the runtime state while reading and exercising code (especially when it is unfamiliar) is one of those techniques that is broadly useful and never out of date. But that's not a totalizing view, it isn't the "one true way", obviously nobody only reads code while running it within a debugger, nor should they! But dismissing its utility for this use case of understanding code more deeply is, in my view, just odd.
What stops the string from one pin catching on the pin next to it and taking it down during play?
Credit to Waymo, but it bears mentioning that Waymo also drives much more slowly than the comparable human driver. That helps a lot.
Maybe get out more? I know _lots_ of people for whom this is true and who take multi-day road trips rather than deal with air travel.

I routinely flew for business before 9/11 and would typically show up about 15 minutes before boarding time at one of the three busiest airports in the US and typically got through security and would then had to wait 5-7 minutes before boarding would start. Air travel is radically different than it was pre-9/11.
Fair, but that doesn't mean every American is so lazy as to lack the ability or desire to walk places, as was suggested.

Also, the US is a big country and shouldn't be treated as a single thing.

Colorado, where I live, has an amazingly active population relative to other states.

It's worth applying a little nuance, instead of broad brushes based on stereotypes.
Boomers also voted in politicians that drained social security and spent money we didn’t have. They lived a good life they couldn’t actually afford, hoping future generations would make good.

Eventually that “money we don’t have” thing is going to become completely untenable as it also relies on infinite growth.

Maybe we are already there.
A friend of mine told me once about working at his family's bowling alley after school one night and suddenly having his shirt ripped off him by one of the setting machines. He said it was sobering and he felt lucky he didn't go with it.
> We've structured society as if the highest and best use of everyone's time is be a W-2 wage-earner.

I'm beginning to think it's all a "Death of God" thing; we still haven't found a non-religious meaning for existence so we just focus on getting the high score. I certainly feel it, and I think many others do too though they might not fully understand the feeling.

It looks like $56K is for a full-time nanny, so presumably there is more scale to be had at a daycare where it isn't one-to-one. I think the other issue is that leaving the workforce for years on end is very hard on a woman's career, so they may consider it worth it to pay the exorbitant costs for a few years if it means that they can maintain their employment.

I'm long past thinking that any of this will change in a way that meaningfully improves peoples'/family's circumstances; as we can probably agree, the financeliazation of everything just seems like an accepted aspect of American life (though I'm not a fan).
> Which seems like it could have some pretty serious consequences, for victims, law enforcement, AI Ethics, and the Justice system.

What actual difference is there between a machine generating this material or a human being drawing it by hand? It seems like we're living with the "pretty serious consequences" already, and yet, it seems like we've found a way to manage those effectively already.

> if the model can produce that, how much of it does it need to be trained on to produce it? And they discovered the answer to that is very little.

The answer may very well be "none at all," particularly if these systems can create image fragments by inference and a different system or even a human can assemble them.

> are far beyond how I understand ML.

If you have a crappy product, get it regulated, it grants it the imprimatur of credibility and it hamstrings your competitors and startups in the space. An understanding of ML may not be required at all to understand this regulatory situation.
> the usual pragmatism applies

That sounds like by "follow" you don't mean "study a lot"... What do you mean then?
There are a couple of businesses near me that have sport simulators like this: https://www.sportssimulator.com/promaxedition

The focus is golf, but they do have a bowling mode where you throw the ball and the camera picks it up and simulates it on the projector. It's not attempting to replace the bowling alley in town though.

> Media executives are worried, however, that President Joe Biden’s administration could be hostile to a big media merger.

There are four companies in the US that control most of the media: Disney, Comcast, Warner Bros Discovery, and Paramount. After the merger of Disney and Fox a few years back, further consolidation will be a more difficult sales pitch.

Indeed. It does answer the question of housing costs and type for college students, but you’d have to design a conclusion for what “reasonableness” actually means to answer the question: it’s a deeply subjective terminology.

For one person spending 6,000 a year on housing may be profoundly difficult. For another, 26,000 a year is no problem. And it is especially interesting that 25 percent of students live at home — that’s a lot higher than I expected.

But of course what makes that “reasonable” is entirely in the eye of the human analyst which is why I provided the source data.

I continue to have zero interest in any kind of "smart car" and consider all of this downstream to Tesla's leaning heavily into that business model. If they already have invested in building you a product that assumes the company is making the decisions on the road, defies user expectation constantly, and by and large extorts you for features already present in the vehicle at every turn, why wouldn't they also be running a monopolized in-house repair scam like apple? If they already have a legal team set up to blame end-users for failures of its hideously user-hostile autopilot features, why wouldn't they use the same tactics to also blame end-users for any and all mechanical failures? I will continue to avoid paying egregious sums of money to be a guinea pig for the attempted enshittification of moving through the physical world, thanks
Damn looks like you have some good lessons on how to do it without (eventual) repurcussions?
They already do that on the scoreboards.
Sounds like it's time to implement Crystal Clear™ which lets you cut to the front of the Clear line.
I don't know what to say. You're saying appeal to authority is a fallacy, and then invoking your own authority.
I’m saddened to hear they’re being installed in real bowling alleys. They seemed like a good compromise for bars and movie theaters. I thought the idea was you can fit them in places that you ordinarily couldn’t. They are better than nothing but are not a substitute for the real thing IMO.
> Of course the ruling class are telling me to "love and forgive my enemy" since that will make me easy to govern, yet those same rulers will surely annihilate their enemies just as Machiavelli taught them to do.

You raise a very interesting point. Look at the state of social media--the People's Platform--right now. It's nothing but grievances, hostilities, and fragmentation. "Tolerance" has itself been fashioned into a cudgel. Everybody is miserable and has a million mental health issues.

The one word you don't find anyone advocating on broadcast or social media is "forgiveness." (Where's Jesus when you need him?)

Love and forgiveness are requisites for neighbors to unite against common enemies, whether they be the King's enemies or the King himself. People that are angry at everyone around them are as close to feral as humans can be, and cannot be governed effectively. Petty warlords only speak the language of conflict and it's impossible to get them to agree on anything.

To those ends, the military is predictably struggling to retain recruits; they're blaming TikTok to pave over our collective failure to foster any sort of love for country for so long that the kids are realizing military pay sucks, this country offers no real opportunities for growth to underclasses anymore and it's not worth dying for assholes who would leave you for dead if it saved them a dollar. We've also desensitized everyone to Communism and terrorism so much that they're starting to look favorable as means to revolution. Lack of love for each other is the biggest national security threat nobody talks about.

It's what stops people from turning traitor, but what do I know. People are struggling to afford food and housing, while King Cuck and Queen Delulu insist pronoun enforcement in schools and Gravy Seals LARPing in Kansas should be our most pressing concerns. God forbid a flash mob storms the Capital again and writes a slur on the wall without killing anybody.

Seems like there are a lot of rooms to try out. I suspect the living room or sun room would offer enough distance so that noise is not a distraction. Use a temporary table if this is not aesthetically pleasing when guests come for example.
Lambda Calculus -> Lorena Bobbitt was 4 degrees.

Worth being aware that, as well as keyfobs being super fragmented, many are woefully insecure. Think "they just say their ID number when you put them in a reader field".

That means you can trivially clone them. Not hugely exciting for access to a (common) hallway in a large building. If cloning someone else's fob gets you free car charging, the incentive is there to clone them. Also, not all buildings will use unique fobs per "unit" (and you'd likely need to support per-resident/tenant fob uniqueness... And something for guests!) -- sometimes it's a single hardcoded value for the whole block or door zone that the fob opens...

You can, of course, build something proper using NFC (and a smartcard running a smartcard applet), which is effectively like your own custom mini "chip and PIN" EMV system -- you would have to design and implement the wire protocol to authenticate the card etc etc, and all the security design around that, but it could be done. That would at least let you have something more than simply shouting your tag ID number into the air like a super basic NFC tag (or RFID keyfob).
Hi there, I completely agree with your perspective regarding the 10-site bundle. Personally, I only need a single site, but with the capability to handle over 10,000 visits per month and 19$ is too much expensive for my needs.
Despite this, I'd like to extend my thanks to the creator of this service.
It's truly fantastic and incredibly user-friendly.
This is exactly the kind of solution I've been searching for a long time.
It's refreshing to find something that aligns so well with my needs.
Ok before I go any further I have to comment - is anyone else unreasonably distracted by the double-cerebellum brain image up top? Oddly mesmerizing… another win for AI art IMO.

The only EVs I've used are the hire-from-the-street ones available in some cities in Europe. There's generally a small credit (free minutes) if you leave them charging at the end of a trip. There are RFID tags in the car to activate the charger — I assume it's essentially equivalent to a company credit card used to buy petrol, or when you hire an ICE car with fuel included and there's a special credit card in the glovebox to use to pay for the petrol.

E.g. https://www.greenmobility.com/dk/en/faq/
> > Electric cars are better, not worse at almost every metric.

Price, weight, center of gravity, cornering ability and time to "refuel" are much worse.

Also given that price of an EV is already high as it is, manufacturers compromise on quality of interior materials and assembly and you can see it

The metric that matter are way inferior.

> > Model Y is the most popular vehicle ever made in any category electric or not.

Last time I checked the Toyota Corolla sold 50M units, VW Golf sold like 35M units, a couple of Toyota models stand at 15M and 10M respectively. Not to mention the Ford Model T. How many Tesla Model Y got sold some 1.5M? You should check numbers instead of blindly believing the propaganda.

Tesla will never sell that much cars in the history of the company, not just one model.

Not to mention how it's much harder to sell 1M Ford Model T in 1915 than even 10M Teslas in 2023 (not that they will ever sell 10M cars per year)

It's a 150 year old industry, only people who believe propaganda buy into the lie that it's being revolutionized in any way , shape or form.
In my high school the order of classes was, if I remember: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II/Trig, Analysis. Calculus was still "after" high school at that time (early 90s), though starting to become common. So Analysis was kind of pre-calculus, a variety of different subjects that weren't quite calculus. I remember bits of algebra, probability, compound interest, etc. We didn't have Analysis I/II, but the boundaries between Algebra and Analysis were so vague that it is easy to imagine some split it differently.

It seems quite unlikely the author was referring to Real Analysis! Still I can't find nearly any reference to high school Analysis (except https://calcworkshop.com/math-analysis/), so I'm guessing that terminology is nearly gone now.

I recall a website maybe around a decade ago that "sort of" did this, except it was called Hitler Hops - and it posited that any article on Wikipedia was only (i think) 6 articles away from getting to Adolf Hitler. You'd put in an article and it would find how many "hops"/articles it took to get to the guy.

Was an interesting concept, not sure if it's still around though (probably not).

> What's the issue, that it's a subcontractor?

For me, mostly yes. I simply don't trust companies enough to be OK with this level of data collection and intrusion.

If it were a government-run operation, I'd be less resistant to it. I'd still bristle about it, but I'd probably accept it.

There's nothing like ripping around Spa (in VR, of course) in the F2004 on Assetto Corsa. Sure, the SF70H/71H turbo-hybrid is faster but it definitely doesn't have the same experience. Those V12s sound ANGY
I don't like name dropping the school I went to but I didn't have the same high school experience as this writer. All of my peers at my school seemingly did though which made me feel very behind and out of place. I definitely noticed that a lot of the students in the CS program already knew a good amount of discrete mathematics when we took our 'first' proofs class. In fact, most of the other kids went to really highly ranked high schools, competed on math or programming or science teams, and had a lot of accomplishments but it also simultaneously seemed performative. I didn't even know competitive math was a thing until I got to campus. I resented my parents for not pushing me into all these extra-curriculars so I could be like everyone else on campus and have things to brag about. But from the author's experience there is a downside to being pushed into these things too.

Although the playing ground was actually fair and hard work gets you on even footing, I have a couple of things to say about college admissions. I will definitely say that although the top universities claim to be meritocratic, I don't think they are. Most of these students, maybe all now, are kind of acculturated into this college admissions process where from a young age you are doing STEM competitions and building letters of rec. A lot of these kids have parents who move the whole family to be near to a high school that can get their children into the top schools. Most people in the US are not aware, or unable to do anything with this specific cultural knowledge you need to get in to those schools. Exceptions do not make the rule. So the top schools are filled with people who don't reflect the country which is bad I think.

Second, as people have focused on STEM accomplishments just to get in to the top schools, I think Goodhart's Law is in action and that STEM competitions and precocious authorship is becoming less meaningful but whether admissions offices change I don't know if that will happen and has not yet. So these will continue to be performative for the time being which is also unfortunate.
