He's not that bad, he tells actual stories, kinda, he's just the laziest plotter in the history of script writing.

"They throw Kirk off the Enterprise! And... uh... Old Spock just happens to be there! Like, right there! Because it's less work for me if he just is, for no reason! I don't want to think of a real reason and maybe have to go back and revise stuff, or remember things later, to integrate that! He just is!"

"They escape on the Millennium Falcon, and Han and Chewie show up... uh, I guess they'll need another ship for that, so now we have two. And I guess there was a homing beacon on the Falcon, that got activated, and Han just happened to be about five minutes away and already sitting in his cockpit and ready to go and not already on the way somewhere else, in hyperspace? Yeah, doesn't matter, I just need him to be there now so he is, doing something else would be hard. Oh shit I have two ships now, and I need them all on the Falcon, so, uh... monsters and pirates destroy the extra ship I just introduced! Yeah there are monsters and pirates now. Do either of those stick around or come back, or are they, like, foreshadowed? No, I just needed them to destroy this ship that I manifested for my own convenience, but no longer have any use for."

"I need these characters to go somewhere else, so, uh... someone/something shows up and chases them away! There are no other consequences or meaningful connections, they just get chased so that they leave and go to where I need them to be."

Et c.

[EDIT] To be fair, most writers do some of this, they just don't do it quite so willy-nilly and build entire plots that way.

[EDIT EDIT] This also doesn't necessarily mean his movies are bad. The plotting... I mean, that part's bad, incredibly bad, like, paragon of bad plotting, should-be-covered-in-film-schools bad, in some of them. But it's not impossible that a movie could still be entertaining, or even good, despite that. I don't mean this to dismiss his entire body of work as absolutely and entirely bad, and actually started out defending him as markedly better at everything than the kind of scripts and TV shows I was writing about, which he certainly is.

Honestly, I find most of the value I get from copilot in VScode is it's strong autocomplete. It's really good at recognizing sequences. I generally prefer to use a web based chatbot to actually write code.

Generally though, I feel that the cost of AI is cheap relative to the value and my time is expensive and I have a bunch of different subscriptions and perplexity is currently the best for research and claude or chatgpt are the best for writing email and copilot is just awesome for coding autocompletion. I just write a comment and it writes all the code.

You're still on a mistaken program whereby because items are inserted at the leftmost slot of the array, that slot is the head. And so the rightmost slot is the tail.

This is not so. The tail of the buffer is the Hand pointer, and it behaves like a circular buffer tail.

This is at odds with the fixed head.

Your full versus empty analysis is flawed, because once the cache warms up, which takes only one cycle, it stays permanently full. At each subsequent cache miss, one item is evicted and one item is inserted. One in, one out. There is no tide-like ebb and flow between empty and full. That is just rhetoric which is not anchored to anything that is real in the algorithm.

Items that are booted out are identified at the circular buffer tail. But, oddly, the new ones are inserted at the physical top of the circular buffer's linear implementation which bears no relation to the circularity.

In a circular buffer, the linear indices have no special meaning.

So it is like a code smell, but for algorithms.
Thalidomide isn't a good example, because it's an extremely effective drug that is still used today.
(this is probably unfairly cynical but), reading heavily between the lines, this reads to me like DHH noticed lots of Rails folks and rubyists already like and use "standardrb" for this https://github.com/standardrb/standard -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVilOzkLdlI -- but for some (unspecified?) reason(s), wasn't willing to bless the popular community-created universal standard as default convention, so instead wrote up his own, and is declaring his the default convention for Rails.

CockroachDB uses it as well (and is almost certainly the reason Materialize does): https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/efficient-documentation-u...

Nice story: around 2016 the OP project was not yet open source, just a web app. Cockroach Labs wanted to automate using it into their docs build. I asked and was approved to donate a fairly good amount to the author. My argument was that that amount of money, though high, was less than my time to add a few other features we wanted (BNF pre-processing things).

Reading maps gave you a view of the surrounding area and the bird's eye view of optional roads nearby. You can load up on the gaps in your knowledge and skip the rest of navigating.

I can empathize with the younger generation struggling to point north, the UIs for GPS maps are surprisingly myopic.
There are adverts for jobs and interviews rounds done to simply tick the box they have "attempted recruitment outside the company".

This happened to me.

To start the ball rolling I had to unofficially accept a job which did not yet exist. Once they had interviewed a few external candidates they offered me the role without any interview. Only thing I had to do was "apply" to the job via intranet.

Only ever happened to me once though and genuinely felt guilty about the other candidates.

ToffeeShare is incredibly useful, but AFAIK it is not FOSS. You could alternatively use something such as Send (a fork of the now dead Firefox Send project), which has quite a few public instances [0]. However, I've been personally liking a lot ShareDrop [1], which is open-source and has an official public instance. In ShareDrop data transfer is done over WebRTC, and the server is only responsible for connecting the two machines, whereas in ToffeShare and I believe Send the files pass through their servers, although encrypted.

>You probably wouldn’t be okay with them being gambling or drug addicts, racist, murderers, uneducated, etc.

Some are objective. Not much interpretation to whaty a gambler or drug addict is. But the sad thing is that "racism" and especially "educated" are highly subjective.

>Why does the idea of a parent wanting to impart their vision of how the world ought to be offend you?

Depends on the vision. Obviously as a black man I'd have an issue with people who's "vision" is that black people are dangerous, dumb, and dirty. I imagine it's the exact same for a lesbian, or a trans person, or even a not rich person.

And of course not all disagreements are equal. I may not prefer a helicopter approach but that is ultimately a choice that does not impact me nor my family. The former, not so much. Your freedom ends where mine begins.

It looks like it still requires a sensor, it can just be hidden in the frame of the glass.
Publishing is one industry which needs to be disrupted massively.

If someone has time, use AI to select from manuscripts and create multiple editions for them. I should be able to buy a book once and then get a version for the ipad, for the phone, a physical book and an audiobook (the whole set) with unique elements in each of them taking advantage of the medium and the device.

It's so dumb the way publishing and licensing is done right now.

And no, self publishing doesn't work because filters are important and quality control has to be maintained.

Everything Apple does seems to be designed to drive hardware sales. Why support external drives, when you can be up-sold for larger internal storage (at a huge markup)?

I’m almost certain that most of those truck buyers barely use them for anything related to their functionality or for job-related stuff. Otherwise, they would get a proper truck that’s far more superior for those blue-collar jobs (1). I drive quite often and I can’t remember the last time I saw one of these trucks actually loaded with anything. In fact, a lot of times they are even covered. I do love trucks myself and cars in general. I used to have one too, but when it comes to the city, they definitely don’t fit in with their current design. This doesn’t account for reckless drivers. The other day I saw an F350 parking, and I passed from the front side. Only my head was visible and I’m not a short guy. The problem is these trucks keep “growing” and getting bigger with every other model. What’s the end game here? Are we going to see bigger trucks in the coming years? (2)

Look at something. Close your eyes. Retain the image. Try to "look" at parts of the image. Focus on parts of the image. Then... change them. No, that apple was green, not red. You know what a red apple looks like, you know what a green apple looks like; Focus on the overall feel of the rest of the image while the apple is different.

It's not easy, it's a trained skill, though I guess one that's pretty easy to acquire accidentally by daydreaming and doing art. I think I actually trained myself out of it as part of "safety" training; I stopped relying on mental models of many things and started forming mental models of the checklists to get them into that state.

This is short sighted. Their threat profile from new entrants (whether de novo or legacy) is massive. Most people I know considering EVs are not prioritising Teslas. They haven’t ruled them out. But it’s an even comparison between the Tesla on the lot and whatever they need to put a deposit down on for delivery in a few months or even years.
Yes, however the 'leant' game to your friend can only be played whilst you yourself are not playing any games on your account.

Basically the rule is you can share and lend your games, but only 1 game from your account can be played at any one time.
Jamming is a mixed bag, because a) you lose your own drone capability in that area and b) you broadcast a loud beacon that says "HERE IS THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF A HIGH-VALUE ASSET". The Ukrainians have had some big wins from triangulating weird-looking RF signals and unleashing hell on whatever is radiating it - you can jam a drone, but you can't jam a 155mm shell.
That was the case for a few years, but its turning back now. It used to be anything over 7500lbs was exempted from mileage standards, plus, they could be depreciated faster on taxes if you owned a small business. that is why so many small business owners had a very, very large SUV. However the high cost of fuel has helped change that, and now the Suburban, and all 1/2 ton pickups are offered with a very small diesel engine (around 3.6L i think) that gets > 27Mpg.

No one likes the "re-routing" as there's no notification if it's going to route them a longer destination. Which is potentially yes. But who hasn't gone "shit!" when they've missed their turn off?

Does anyone know anything about current defenses against large-scale drone attacks? The scenario I'm thinking of is 100+ small drones, each with an explosive device attached (maybe a grenade), all programmed to attack a specific target, at a specific date/time. The defenses that I know about (shotguns and nets?) might stop, maybe, half of the drones, but that still leaves 50 grenades, all set to explode on the same target. I just don't know how a target would defend against an attack like that - GPS jamming?
Prior to 2022 it seemed clear this was coming, fighters in Burma were using small drones against the dictatorship both for spotting and to drop explosives. It seemed like Ukraine was where real resources could be put into action, and things ramped up significantly. Before the videos from Burma I'm not sure where else to look, maybe Syria? There were drones used by ISIS but they seemed closer to military drones than what we see now with commercial drones or drone components used.
I'm glad not be in the business of protecting people/infrastructure from harm.

The article is poorly written, as it only discusses the camera component. Strangely, they chose stock images of holographic and optical displays, but didn’t mention that even once.

The Zeiss site is a much better read:

https://www.zeiss.com/corporate/en/about-zeiss/present/newsr...

In summary:

1) ZEISS unveils holographic Smart Glass at CES 2024, both for displays/projection/filtering, but also another component which is a holographic camera

2) The holocam works by utilizing coupling, decoupling, and light guiding elements to redirect incident light to a concealed sensor, eliminating the need for visible cutouts or installation spaces in visible areas.

3) ZEISS doesn’t plan to be manufacturer, so other companies can use the tech
OP clearly was using four years to describe Biden’s term to support the idea that he will go down as the greatest President in history.

Are we expected to take you word, or mainstream media's, for it? I say, no more. It's a fact that it was widely predicted, as near certainty, by mainstream media that Twitter's fall was imminent after Musk's takeover.
Most things aren't necessary. Many things are net detrimental to society. We still allow the vast majority of them, because people are free to do what they want with their lives in this world. Just because you have kids doesn't mean that your wishes have more weight than theirs.

The biggest harms from drugs come not from the drugs themselves, but from the fact that their users and sellers have been locked out of our legal dispute resolution system. Drugs only lead to violence as long as someone is trying to stop them. If they were regulated and sold openly, with just 10% of the funding that currently goes to law enforcement to futilely try to stop them instead being diverted to addiction treatment and honest non-fear-mongering education, they would result in an order of magnitude less harm.

>and in order to serve it journalists are now asked to basically just straightpipe information into articles in a race to be the first to trend on Twitter or Facebook or wherever.

That isn't going away. If Twitter goes bankrupt, something else will play that role. And this trend has been happening for generations. Books/Scrolls -> Newspapers -> Newspapers + Telegraph ('wire services') -> Radio / TV / Cable 24/7 news -> Internet ... If some technology provides a faster way to share information and news then people will make use of it.

Not all agriculture even feeds the planet. E.g. cotton grown in the central valley of california makes its way to mexico to become budget metal spring mattresses. Does the world need more metal/wood/cotton boxes that end up on the side of the road at some point in their lifetime? State economic planners seem to think so at least.

I am in the US and the politician being threatened was in Germany.

I'm not talking at all about prosecution or legality of speech and its varying definitions under the law (of which I believe German law is more restrictive than here). I'm talking about Facebook interpreting their own rules, which I am pretty sure do not allow threats of violence.

Also, I am in favor of free speech and open political discourse. I am not in favor of saying a politician in a democracy should be murdered. There may be edge cases in the law where that is not considered credible, however, in terms of my own personal ethics it is very unambiguous when that line is crossed, and I think that's true for others.

No, but why stay on a platform from a vendor that has a business model you find hostile? I can see the need for a transition period, but I'd start looking for another vendor that has value and pricing that aligns more with my ideals. People seem hellbent on staying on a RHEL-like platform.

Also, CentOS isn't/wasn't exactly new, the current pricing model from Redhat isn't nearly as old as CentOS.

If you want to know more about the state of the art here, read more about the Ukraine war, preferably on Slavic language sites. It seems the main defense is electronic warfare, either jamming the GPS or the control signals. This is leading to an autonomy arms race at the moment, as a drone with a preprogrammed mission and optical flow sensors is much less vulnerable to jamming.

At all the places I've worked, I've put my own time to document how things work. These are often HTML pages, with links to the source code, pointing at the exact point where the action happens. I strive to offer a narration of what happens from startup to shutdown. I do this as and when I discover things. Over time, the documentation grow in size, inadvertently forming a 'what I'd like to have found when I started' document--an unofficial refrence manual. I put even more time in organizing the information presented. I draw block and sequence diagrams. I then share the links with my teams and managers at the time.

Guess what? Other than the multiple emoji reactions, appreciative and thanking comments I get at the time of sharing, nobody bookmarks them or even refer back to them. People completely forget such a document even exists. Then, in team chat, someone asks 'does someone know does X works?'. I roll my eyes and share a link to my document. Rinse and repeat.

I say this not to say that I deserve more recognizition, but to lament that people don't care as much I think they should. By extension, they don't care whether someone wrote things down, either.
