I downvoted you mainly because Sabine is a font of misinformation in areas outside her direct expertise.

Particle beams for cancer therapy aren't new; shortly after the invention of the cyclotrone, EO Lawrence did this with neutrons in the late 1940s and proton beams were being used successfully in the 50's. She leaves out these details and only mentions trials from the 1990s.
Interesting choice, although “it depends” is the obvious answer.

First off, which job would you enjoy both professionally and personally - technology, work/life balance, management, colleagues, salary, other comp, vacation days, flexibility, training etc.

Next up, sustainability of the businesses. Are they making a profit or how is the plan going to make a profit at some point? If not profitable, what’s the runway? How’s product/market fit? What about a history of success expanding their market? What’s the competitive landscape looking like?

Some meta commentary: payments is a sucker’s game, with margins dropping year on year as more businesses enter the space. There are really very few angles for success, one of which is scale (wholesale price reduction). Is the gateway likely to be top-25 globally, or too-5 in its vertical in the next 10 years? If not, it’s either going to fail slowly, get bought by a much bigger competitor or invent a new angle to be successful, with the first two being far more likely.
Algol 60 also allowed whitespace in variable names. But they had a solution to avoid Fortran's confusion: keywords had to be specially marked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stropping_(syntax)

>Took a while to learn to "check your exit routes", then? Or, ignoring any snark, you've learned a lot since "Glasgow (Scotland) last [S]ummer"?

Presumably the family had always found the exit routes easy to locate until the incident in Glasgow. So yes, that would be when they learned the lesson.

I’ve also been annoyed by this but thankfully the local hub still accepts HTTP requests just fine. The first party mobile app is all that’s affected.
who tests the testing tool?

Thanks though -- and let us know if you hit any issues while playing around with the demo!
You can't look at one area of the economy in isolation. It's all intertwined. The people creating digital goods still need food, shelter, and housing. Things that are not post-scarcity.
Just wondering, how were you communicating to the airplanes in vicinity?

Radio would require the planes to be listening on a specific frequency and ADSB Out would require the planes to have ADSB In which is not guaranteed.
I found this one helpful too

If Github doesn't realise you forked the project, it doesn't appear in the list of forks, which a lot of companies use when sending an actual DMCA notice to Github.

I'm not sure what you'd need to do to disconnect your fork, but clicking the "fork" button will often get your repo automatically taken down if the parent repository gets DMCA'd.

If the commit history is different (say, because you rebased the project onto a slightly different initial state), Github won't auto-detect the fork as easily, so the lawyers would need to find your project and include it in their takedown notice.
I wasn't aware of this accident, it does look very similar.

Airbus got some flak at the time for the AF 447 accident, both for this side stick issue and for the way the stall system unintuively stopped when the plane was pointed up (because its speed decreased to a level that was below some threshold that allowed the warnings).

I find it surprising how these UI elements in aviation are so primitive, we should improve them.
Are you a pacifist who thinks that it is never OK to take a life, no matter the circumstances? In that case I understand what you think, even if that is not my way of thinking.

If you are not a pacifist, then I don't understand how you think a peaceful society should act when an aggressive neighbor tries to kill all of them?
Your system has a capacity and limits. They can either be explicitly configured in with deliberate load shedding behavior or implicit with a devil may care behavior. Some where between not getting dial tone when you pick up the phone to weird vocal distortions when the limits are hit, choose your poison. Or let randomness choose.

You can also still use the Hue hub. It accepts local http requests for all functionality.
Aside from general maintenance burden, it's not year-2038 proof. I believe that's the main reason for removing it now, so people don't run in to this in 2038 (some kernels have very long support cycles, are used in embedded devices, etc.)
Everything I've seen indicates that the "court" seemed to think it was a case of "murder in red blood" or whatever they call getting angry and killing your wife these days, with a dose of "very intentional coverup afterwards".

Had he driven the car with her dead body directly to the police, he probably would have received the three year sentence or even less.
I always wonder who's watching the watchers with encryption. I know there are standard, recommended libraries available. But how are those vetted if mere mortals like myself don't even know what known vulnerabilities to look for? Is there like a high council of crypto wizards that keep checks and balances on each other?
I don't see creators clamoring for micropayments. The reason is simple: It's not a good way to actually earn an income. Creators need stable and predictable support. Subscriptions work much better for them. It's a tried-and-true business model.

What advocates of microtransactions don't see: It turns something that absolutely should not be a commodity (creative work), into a commodity. That's the fundamental failure here, and it's a big one.
This is a great book - I still own my copy and occasionally reread it.
In a non-legal state, he’s probably right. There are 13 vape shops with a two mile radius of my house, in a city of under 100k. They’re always busy. One big advantage they have is they can do credit card sales, whereas since marijuana is still federally illegal the credit card companies, banks, etc won’t touch it.
I'm saying no more and no less than that scrolling is sometimes the lesser evil. It's not necessarily idiotic.

I had XFS eat some data once. I somehow got it into a state where it wouldn't mount and wouldn't fsck. Luckily for me it was "just" my backup disk, so after a week of fighting with it I just gave up and reformatted (as ext4) and didn't end up losing much. Was eye opening though. I'd rather have a slightly less featureful fs that I have a chance of recovering…

A bounded queue that quickly errors back to the caller when full is a fine load shedding system. Unbounded queues are death.
I mean nothing personal by it but all I see when I see posts like yours (and many others in this thread), is that the average person understands nothing about psychopathy.
What he did was premeditated. His brain is wired in such a way that killing his wife was always an option. No amount of neuroplasticity will override this baked-in reality of who this man is. Teaching psychopaths social skills will not provide them with the idealized "personal growth" you imagine.
I highly recommend, "The Psychopath Test" by Jon Ronson (of "The Mean That Stare at Goats" fame) as an amusing but on-point introduction.
Grifting is more lucrative than ever!
Not at all, but it makes sense if it's a niche product addressing the needs of a subset of gamers.

Look for example Among US VR (an excellent game):

https://steamdb.info/app/1849900/charts/

There are 12 players online now, 22 players "peak"...

A lot of people have tried VR, and the consensus is generally that VR is fun to try once but then:

Is it really worth spending 1000 USD (headset only + whatever gaming PC you need with it) <-> 4000 USD (vision pro) for something you'd use only few times per year ?

To follow the hardware news related to something you don't plan to purchase nor use doesn't really make sense.
> being anti war

If you were anti-war you'd be anti-Russia. They are the ones waging war right now. The war would end tomorrow if Putin would get out of Ukraine. Ukraine would end tomorrow if Ukrainians would stop fighting.
For example, by explicitly calling shrink_to_fit. So you either have fragmentation, or an extra copy if you're not careful, but none of the solutions let you forget about the detail entirely.
> Constant pressure to hit quarterly performance targets meant that machine quality often suffered.

It’s not necessarily the case that greedy, ignorant MBAs came in and ruined everything. Like, if their practices were so inferior, then any domestic firm that didn’t get taken over by them should’ve had a leg up and could’ve dominated the domestic market.

Don’t you think the more likely source of “pressure” was the international suppliers who had lower costs?

> Aided by Reagan policy to aggressively outsource manufacturing from the nineteen eighties US manufacturing just imploded.

Was the policy to outsource everything, or liberalize markets and let firms and consumers more freely choose where to buy things from? Globalization has done quite a lot to lift people out of poverty and keep prices low.
> I downvoted you mainly because Sabine is a font of misinformation in areas outside her direct expertise.

Just curious, since I've run into her channel recently and found her generally pleasant and informative (minus the unfunny jokes part), do you have any specific examples of this?
1. Responsiveness
2. Excellent voice recognition for dictation of questions and device control
3. Web reading/browsing capability
4. Instant webpage to PDF conversion
5. Instant storage of those PDFs for use as custom LLM training data
5. Functionality to copy quotes from web pages or PDFs along with auto-generation of citations
6. Functionality to export of PDFs, quotes, and citations together into PKM app, say, Obsidian or other similar PKMs

BONUS: I know Kindle isn't set up for this, but if the same could be done audio and visual media, using voice control, beginning with podcasts (auto transcript save with cite, clipping with transcripts and cite, export of clips with transcripts and cit) and then YouTube (auto transcript save with site, auto clip with transcript and cite, export with transcript and cite)

IF I could get 1-6, I would strongly consider having this as part of my PKM kit. If I could get 7 too, I would have to buy it. This may be something I have to build, unless someone knows where these integrations can be found today.
> Having switched from C++ to C, I think C is a lot less weird than C++.

Overall? Without a doubt. But these specific features they've been adding are implemented very unnecessarily strangely just to avoid fully committing to them, so that they end up in this design space where they may not be weirder than the full Lovecraftian horror of the equivalent C++ feature, but they are much weirder than the ideal/abstract concept of the equivalent C++ feature, which is what I wish they would have pulled in. Like, looking at this proposal, it isn't clear to me at all how the compiler is actually compiling or the runtime is executing these polymorphic function calls at all, in cases where they don't just collapse to void*. And it isn't clear to me how exactly type scoping and substitution works either. Whereas in concept at least templates are crystal clear and also easy to expand to do much more advanced macro-less metaprogramming, like D does.

> and often think some parts are weird simply because they are different.

I have way more experience with C than C++, but I'm usually a Rust programmer which works more like C++ so maybe that's where my bias is, but I really think this implementation is unnecessarily weird in general too — I've used a lot of languages.
Exactly, a comparison to M3 Pro would be more interesting – especially in an article actually trying to compare those two apples, instead of one with a Macbook Air thrown in randomly but mostly about Intel Ultra.
If you have a subscription, the HBO documentary I mentioned, Q: Into the Storm is excellent. I think that the struggle mainstream news orgs have in talking about QAnon is that it's very difficult to encapsulate all the interlocking conspiracies and figures. There's also a wide degree of variance for what various bits and pieces mean, but there are a few central tenets. The main one is that there's a mysterious high ranking figure in the government, Q (who gets his name due to the Q-level security clearance he or she has). Q makes very abstract posts on 4chan -- and then other sites -- that seem to suggest that there's a massive pedophile ring inside the government and that Donald Trump is working to expose it from within. Many figures are implicated and, by strange coincidence, they happen to be figures that the far right detests. The Clintons and Bill Gates take starring roles but honestly it's impossible to keep track of it all.

Into the Storm is centrally focused on the identity of Q, but in the process of pursuing the answer the creator of the documentary, Cullen Hoback, ends up going on an absolutely wild hunt. I find documentaries of this sort to be a bit hit-or-miss, but this is one of the best of its subgenre. The subculture and background surrounding QAnon is interesting in its own right but, of course, the real highlight is the characters. Fredrick Brenan, Jim & Ron Watkins, and Hoback himself are fascinating individuals.
I'm baffled at the phrase "single stair" when what they actually mean is "single staircase". I had to read most of that article to work out what it actually meant, while at the same time imagining buildings with only one stair.
The entirety of ipv4 could have been embedded in ipv6 from the start. Instead the standards were written with no way for the two networks to interconnect, embedding ipv4 addresses into the link-local space within ipv6. This was a ridiculous decision, one of many that disincentivized adoption. ipv6 should have been designed with ease of transition from the beginning, instead of requiring dual-stack with a flag day that may never come.
It's not marked as a fork in their systems. Instead, it's as if you'd written a bunch of code in a local repository and then pushed it to GitHub.

It could still be identified as the same codebase by eg. comparing commit hashes or content hashes, but that's harder. If you really want to be sure, clone the repository, make a few local edits to files (eg. adding a comment to each file), copy the full source repository to a new directory in the filesystem, git init that as a new repository, commit changes, and push. That blows away all the existing history of commits, and ensures that each file has a different hash. It's still technically possible to detect it as a dupe, but would require an extremely expensive shingling or filesystem diff on every repository in GitHub.

If raw power per dollar would be all that's interesting we'd all run 7900 XTX clusters like geohot in his tinybox.

We are not, because there's clearly value in the CUDA ecosystem.
I actually worked with MGH on their first proton treatment software for non cyberknife proton treatment. Later scaled it into AWS so their dosimetrists could iterate on treatment plans much faster. The initial treatments were incredibly successful and much easier on the patient, but theres no miracle either.

Patients still suffer adverse reactions, and you will have margins of error, not to mention you do not have unlimited time to develop a treatment plan that is perfect. It's a time/efficacy trade off and the goal is to hit as much of the cancer as possible, while maintaining a SAFE dose of radiation, not a zero dose. What is a safe dose? Well, the more aggressive your cancer the higher that number gets too.

Some patients still receive high dose radiation while on proton treatment simply because their cancer is that aggressive, typically suffering the same grade 1-2 diarrhea and vomiting as any other form of radiation.

Proton treatment is far superior for most cancers, especially deeper cancers like colon and prostate.

It's a living example of how tragic a new treatment option is, unfortunately proton centers are expensive to build and take years. So many people are still passing away from treatable disease and having to endure high dose chemotherapy in other cases.
How do you even make such a list nowadays? In the past tou could take stuff from forums, but now forums are dead. Facebook is trash so apart from known sources (is Rss dead?)organicly finding new stuff sounds harsh. Apart from maybe coppying from reddit / digg / wykop / some spanish reddit equivalent...
Agreed. Roslyn analyzers, code generators, refactoring providers and other extension points are not designed for application developers but are rather building blocks.

We built a code generation and analysis framework based on these Roslyn extension points. It's called Metalama: https://doc.postsharp.net/metalama.
1. That still happens with the classic property tax, but 2. at least there's more housing supply / less empty lots with LVT.
Yes, and there even is such a thing as equipment lease for companies that are liquidity constrained to be able to move to match the market even if their short term reserves would stop them from doing so otherwise. At a price, of course.

The most asked question about the CNC gear we sold was whether or not it could be leased and whether we could offer financing. Almost none of it was bought outright.
Totally correct.

Furthermore: reject them not only when the regular use goes through a cloud, but also anything that needs a specific app download or cloud connection just to change settings. All functionality available on local network and with standard tools or nothing.

I saw that a lot with cameras. "It has ONVIF, you just have to download--," nope, that's it, next candidate.
I wonder how they will deal with bird attacks. Falcons and eagles (ironically, they share the same name with this kite) are territorial and will go after these drones. I once had a huge heavy-lift drone that got attacked too. But with a pilot nearby, the easy solution is to fly to a higher altitude, that seems to determine who rules the sky in their eyes apparently. I’m not sure how this kite will manage such situation.

Link gives me JSON, not HTML?

The JSON appears to mentions that this is a regression affecting `U"string"` where U is a macro (that expands to a string literal).

Obviously there are numerous examples of where whitespace always mattered even in prior versions.

My big issue with AI powered search is I don't really trust what it's telling me in terms of news and more specific questions. Sometimes I'll skim what the Bing/Google generation has to say if it takes me longer than 8 seconds to find a relevant link, otherwise I don't find it that enticing of a feature.

In terms of Bing Chat, easily the biggest appeal to me is it's based on GPT-4 and includes features for creative/professional writing. I think that alone is the biggest reason to use it over chatGPT 3.5.
Thank you. Is the Polish collection also a volunteer effort?

I used to develop small databases and solutions in Office, many years ago, using VB. Wasn't painless but was fairly intuitive and logical once I got the basics. Recently tried doing something similar with the tools you mention. Unintuitive, very limited, requiring so many ridiculous workarounds to achieve something loads of end users would need. Really frustrating experience.
I'm so sorry for your loss, and the added layers of pain around how it happened. The thought of trying to put that into words that have to be shared publicly hurts my heart for you.

There's nothing I can say that will make it better. Just know a stranger on the internet is taking a moment to cry with your pain.
Why would that happen? Demand will be satisfied as that would be the most high value thing to do, driving the land tax wherever the process starts.
On the other hand, this limits the number of jobs available to you by a factor of 10 or 20, depending on how large the industry is.
An unbounded queue means you are allocating a lot of stuff during the time you want to cap end all resources handling traffic. It means you slow down when busier. Depending on the framework it often means the system can't recover automatically but will crash if the queue is in memory or need DBAs to flush the queues or whatever.
Just out of interest, you prefer to have your data harvested and sold?

Hah, the staff on Assistant working on home integrations measured in the hundreds (I used to work adjacent to those teams). Of course most of them were either laid off or reassigned to other projects, so it's pretty likely that Assistant will stop working soon, if it hasn't already.

I'm a massive Disney Parks and Imagineering fan and I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard of Lanny before today. Really glad to see he's getting the general recognition he deserves.
I totally agree with you that it's definitely instinctive. The article has a link to mass timber construction for fire officials. Coincidentally there is an office building near me with mass timber structure but whenever I tell people about it, they instinctively think of it as less safe than steel and concrete.
It /can/ be that simple, was my point. There's no need to invent a pedestrian sensor at all. In fact, why not have the pedestrian walkways always green, with the automotive signals only activating if traffic is detected?
The equivalency would be if there were weapons of e.g. some Iranian company sold to Israel and used against Gaza.

As a US company, Haas has a duty to obey US-ordered sanctions and ensure that their products are not being used against the interests of USA, but it has no duty to ensure that their products are not used against interests of Gaza.
The staircase itself is not the issue, it's the double-loaded corridor (hotel style) layout that it forces on the entire building.
