The funny thing to me about conspiracy theorists is that they read theories in an overly credulous manner if it confirms a bias and then they take their own theories as fact.

The 16500-series logic analysis system mainframe has its little siblings as 1650-series and 1660-series. The 16700-series logic analysis system mainframe has its little siblings as 1670-series.

They support oscilloscope cards, except when they don't. Those are the 16530-16534a boards. Specifically, the earlier scope boards 16530-16532a have been reported to not show a trace over X for an unknown reason. I will investigate that in the near future. You will want the 16533a or 16534a oscilloscope boards. Alternatively, you can simply purchase the integrated oscilloscope versions of these analyzers.

You'll notice the 1670G model in the article has the 2ch scope built in. That scope works over X11.

This a deep rabbit hole, but my 16500B from 1992 came with a 102-channel logic analyzer and a 2ch 250MHz 1gsa oscilloscope. There are many other interesting boards it can support and I am acquiring them as opportunity presents itself. It cost me $150 including shipping. :)

Here's a good starting point into these machines. https://youtu.be/6w5w3ezpVHE?si=BfsiazkXvHK-L1MV

If you want your mind blown, consider that the 16500A came with a color touch screen in 1988 (I checked HP archives) and it could already be configured for X11 networking with the appropriate add-in card. There's also Windows software to operate these systems over a modem. The blank mainframe cost $7200.

If you put my address into Google Maps you end up in almost the furthest place from me in the state of Missouri (USA). It's literally 7 hours from me, but Google insists that this is my address. Poor satellite repair man ended up on a dirt road nearly in Iowa when he tried to come out.

Google also suggests that the best way to get from one paved road in our county to another is a 25 mile dirt road which _fords_ three creeks, one of which is never below 2' deep. If you are not driving a vehicle capable of making that crossing you will end up stranded in a creek, a 4 hour walk from cell service

That's not quite the same thing as claimed in the headline. Of course there's a correlation between the two, but I see no reason to assume (and the article certainly doesn't provide any evidence) that an x-fold decrease in kinetic energy delivered to the head translates to an x-fold decrease in the likelihood of concussions. Most complex systems respond to external inputs in a highly nonlinear fashion.
> And how did the training data contribute to the content in any meaningful way? Inspiration isn't substance.

If training data is so unimportant, why not simply not use it and avoid the controversy? At the very least that would certainly fix the issue where the model demonstrates how "inspired" it is by NYT articles by reproducing them verbatim.

The answer is simple:

Require consent for any training use.

This may also require compensation.
One way to approximate thisb intuitively: braking distance is approximately quadratic in speed. 100^2/70^2 is ~2, so the faster car will need about twice as far to stop. Since we know this car slows down from 70 to 0 in the given distance, then that's also the distance to slow from 100 to 70.

Google's defense to a lawsuit would be simple: that it makes no guarantee that maps is accurate, and you use it at your own risk. If that defense ever proves to be insufficient, their obvious next step is to no longer make maps available for free. Then we will see how many people are actually willing to pay for actual accuracy.

In the case of the irrigation road, since from another post of yours upthread it appears to be private property, it should be signed accordingly to make it clear to people that they are trespassing if they use it.
now I am wondering about the net social benefit of solar power disincentivizing third-shift (overnight) production. cheaper electricity during the day makes it relatively more expensive to operate heavy industry plants 24/7.

the heavy investment that goes into those plants incentives operators to drive (and staff) them 24/7, but there are hidden social costs (negative externalities) of having so many people out of diurnal rhythm. maybe massive solar power buildout, with sharply cheaper daytime electricity, would relieve people from working “graveyard shifts” – and maybe that’d be a good thing
I'm pretty sure one of the things that keeps me employed in software is that I'm good at non-software stuff. So much so that I focus quite a bit less on the software now, and a lot more on the things software does, why, and for whom. That stuff seems a lot more important in the scheme of things; especially when money isn't free and people need software to be truly useful and very immediately.

Maybe that's a typical progression in most software careers, but I wouldn't have believed I'd be here 10 years ago, or maybe even 5. I was always very technical (and I still love that side of things). Now I see the people side of things as far more important and interesting.

Very few comedic geniuses can tell jokes that get the whole audience to laugh, including the target and then it slowly dawns on you that you may have been the target all along - because the joke and supposed target that you laughed at revealed your own hopes, dreams, fears, prejudices, etc. And then you laugh harder.

I’d been going since the mid 80s when it was “the foothill flea market” colloquially. I can’t say I’ve ever found any “wow, this is unique” things - honestly, most of the time it’s “neat” things that come home with me, get played with for a few years, and then I’ll buffer everything collected up and sell at the next flea market. In this way the hobby can be mostly self supporting - but it’s also very satisfying to return home with an empty station wagon.

It’s also a great way to reunite with coworkers from times past, although I have really a bad memory for faces.

I experience the same as well, they will ask you to give a review at the end. I think this is a smart strategy. Software developers have been doing it for years when they ask users to leave a review in the app. And I dont think there is any ethical intention here. If you don't want to leave a good review then you can ignore their request.

Btw, the review system is always rigged. Same story at Yelp, AppStore, TrustPilot, Agoda. Instead of reading the good review, you can filter out them and read the bad review firsts.

Yeah, back in the midwest after having spent 26 years in "The Valley" (no, not that valley, Silicon Valley).

I hit the Electronics Flea Market only a few times because, back then, I was not a morning person. I remember showing up at 7:00 AM or so once when the dark was just lifting and seeing people leaving with their small wire rolling carts filled with electronics. I imagined that all the good stuff got scooped up at 6:00.

More often though I would do the "Saturday crawl" to all the surplus electronics stores — when there were a lot of surplus electronics stores. Sadly over the decades I saw them all but disappear entirely.

It's probably just as well I am back in the midwest though. I'm already too much of a hoarder.

Your comment said:

Your comment makes it sound that the Rust team considers a four year old utility method as "newly added", and that's the reason why this method is marked as unstable. More likely, this "newly added" reason is something they add for any new unstable feature, and it is now out of date.

Considering that repository has 9,000 open issues, and 50,0000 total issues, you can imagine that this issue has simply not been prioritized. Rust being poor at prioritizing, handling issues, etc. is a totally separate discussion from "Rust thinks four year old code is new"

Concussions don’t have a particularly objective diagnosis or a very clean phase transition between “concussion” and “not concussion”, they are more so continuous with a soft floor, and they do get progressively worse with vague intensity of injury. It’s not really until your brain starts bleeding and such that there are clear diagnostic signs and there are definite but more vague long term effects from lesser concussions.

Reducing kinetic energy is exactly the kind of metric you can take in absence of any others.
