The term African-American does not imply that one was born in Africa. It refers to Americans of African ethnicity (which includes Carribean-Americans of African descent). Chris Rock, Lebron James, and Michael Jordan are all African-Americans born in the US.

Elon Musk is not considered African-American according to the popular usage of the term as he is of European descent despite being born in South Africa.
Funny enough, ICU was originally written in C++ by Apple for Pink/Taligent, then ported to Java, then ported back to C++.

Depends on wait times. I know someone who buys a new fancy sports car every year (Porsche etc.). The wait time is usually around a year between ordering and getting the car. A year later he can sell his previous car that he drove that year for the full price, because buyers are willing to pay for not having to wait.

He’s done this for ~ten years now.

The sanctions are abusive, but what is the alternative? To allow a kingdom that is so pro-depravity to subsist unmolested?

And, is it a matter of sanctions, or national policy that causes the most pain?
We don’t have a lot of data, but we have some: that I know of, there are three countries in the world with extensive sanctions. One of them, Russia, hasn’t been communist in three decades. I heard that there is political repression there, but despite the sanctions, not starvation or even economic hardship.

The other two countries, Cuba and North Korea, are still communist. North Korea is not doing well. And Cuba is hanging from a thread; citizens survive thanks to direct support from their expats to the families at home, but the country’s infrastructure is ruined. In terms of modern commodities, 19th century Europe had way less access to trade than sanctioned Cuba, and yet made better roads and enjoyed better postal services and a much vibrant financial sector.

Yeah. It probably depends on the brand, but I was just looking to buy my first car in quite a while and had to update my thoughts on this. Previously I'd be all for buying used. But I was looking at the prices for 2 to 5-year old Toyotas vs. new and the difference was shockingly tiny unless there was something wrong with the car or it had ridiculously high mileage.

Oh, I remember some of these tools from my school days. I might even still have them in the storage. Fond memories.
The topic is "Control Theory." The author's book "Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" may be a useful addition if you're going to apply this stuff. I found the book helpful, but I personally didn't find it as clear and easy to read as "PID Without a PhD".

PID control is probably what you'll see in an introductory undergraduate engineering control theory course (which I haven't taken). I think you'd typically study the dynamics using numerical simulation and Laplace transforms. You might think about making a practical project (I made a PID reflow oven controller).

After that you're off to the races with State Space methods (e.g. Chen's "Linear System Theory and Design".) and you can think about problems like stabilizing a quadrocopter based on inertial measurements.

Let me just add one more thing why this idea seems bad to me personally. I'm not atacking you, but the idea.

So the way things work today is this, the way I see it:

1. We have a physical layer -> a wire

2. We have a data link layer -> ethernet + ARP or NDP are common here

3. we have a network layer -> currently, two networks are widely used: IPv4 and IPv6

4. We have a transport layer: tcp and udp and quic

7. We have an actual data, encrypted or not.

So where the DNS fits in this model? People say it is build on top of UDP, so it must be layer7, right? But because of the core function of the DNS protocol, I would put DNS into Layer3, the same as I would put ARP and NDP on layer2 even if NDP is built into IPv6. I would put it on Layer 2 solely by the function it provides.

A sole purpose of the DNS is to make a connect() possible without using direct network addressess, but client use "a string" as a destination. For me this is a Layer 3 protocol, because it is a helper protocol used to establish a connection.

Once you have a connection, on top of it you use other layers to transfer data reliably.

Your solution puts a Layer 7 data into a Layer 3 component by using TXT records. And if there were no TXT records invented, you could still encode binary data in the AAAA records, 8 bytes at a time and hack it to store arbitrary data that a custom "client" can process in 8 byte chunks.

And while clever, this is not the right tool to store layer 7 data.

It is like sitting on an island with a hammer. You need to cut a tree and says: well, I can use hammer to cut the tree or I can try with bare hands. What should I do? While I agree hammer has a higher chance of succeeding, I would advice to find a sharp rock instead. Find or invent a better tool for the job.
Oh. It seems a much more attractive idea. Odd.

> Cobalt isn't actually controversial because it's rare but because the way some of it is mined in Congo (i.e. with children). Most of it is actually fine and mined in a more humane way.

74% of the world's cobalt is extracted from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (not to be confused with the Republic of the Congo)[0]. Not to diminish the horrors of using children to mine, but that's hardly the only problem—this neglects the absolutely inhumane working conditions and violent conflict between dozens of armed groups vying for control of the mines, chief among them the state's military itself. The mad rush for cobalt has certainly exacerbated this conflict[1] and led to one of the world's worst humanitarian crises in modern times. Even if you were to somehow magically vanish the children from the mines it would still be one of the worst situations on earth to be born into. I don't appreciate this attempt to trivialize the cost of the west's voracious demand for the mineral and it's extremely difficult to imagine the above comment being made in good faith.

Your position would drift insanely fast. In a drone, gyro readings and velocity are being used in the ekf2 filter to calculate your position. But a GPS position is required to prevent longtime drift.

Obviously, in GPS deprived situations, you have to think about alternatives.

Yup. Car companies (well, sometimes their importers) subsidize financing for dealers through financing subsidiaries.

The caveat is that you usually have to have very good credit to get the top tier rates, which might be why the github user wasn't aware of this.

If the loan is below inflation, the loan is actually making you money...as long as inflation stays higher than the loan rate for the length of the loan, that is.

Thank you, very insightful and makes perfect sense! I do wonder however why Nvidia and Intel chose not to expose an AXPY/outer product instruction if they use these kinds of operations under the hood. I can imagine them being useful in their own right. My best guess is that this gives them freedom to change the implementation details later on (e.g. the order of swizzles)?
animal :: cortical neurons (b) :: total neurons (b)

Human :: 16 :: 86

Gorilla :: 9.1 :: 33

Chimps are generally considered more intelligent than gorillas.

Bottlenose Dolphins have 11-15b cortical neurons while humans are in the range 14-18 (range is measurement uncertainty). It's also worth noting these dolphins have a larger brain mass (1.6 kg) and larger cortical surface (3700 cm2) than humans (1.3 kg and 2400 cm2, respectively).

Bought my first new vehicle in fifteen years. Here are the steps that I took.

1. Test drove four different brands

2. Went to six banks and found out the lowest interest rate I could get. Everyone told me that it would be at a credit union but instead it was a brand new bank that apparently was hungry to get new business

3. Emailed every dealer for the brand I chose within 225 miles.

4. You want to do one thing at a time. I wanted the price out the door. I avoided talk about trade-ins or financing. But I did state I was open to financing the vehicle with them if they were competitive.

5. Be very patient. The vast majority of the dealerships in the first round either never answered the email or quoted me over MSRP. I would engage with everyone who wrote me back. I would reiterate that I was ready to buy a new vehicle to whomever gave me the best deal. As time went on I responded with specific price I was willing to pay. There are forums for most brands where people share the prices that they were paying. So I had a pretty good idea what might get accepted.

6. I was getting ready to start shopping for my second choice. It came down to a single salesman who sent me dozens of emails. All the sales guys want you in the dealership where you're on their turf. This guy kept dropping the price $500 at a time. He asked me what it would take for me to visit the dealership. I quoted him $1000 below his last offer - and he accepted! I made it clear that wasn't a price I would accept, just enough for me to visit him. I wanted $1000 more I when visited the dealership.

7. I got a bunch of prices for my old vehicle online so I had an idea what it would bring. They quoted me on the high end of what I would receive but they wouldn't budge on the new vehicle price. Eventually they agreed to add $500 to the price of the trade-in which I wearily accepted. Only to have them give me $400 of free mats so its obvious that I probably could have gotten them lower. However they had factory financing that was 1.25% lower than the best bank rate I received so I financed the vehicle with them.

Going online is the only way to purchase a vehicle. December I learned later is a really good time to purchase.

That's called dead reckoning[1].

The Kalman filter[2], which pops up on this site rather frequently, is often used for updating the current state.

The issue is that sensors are not perfect. Not just noise, but they might be slightly off in one direction more often compared to another for example. These errors accumulate, and so you can be quite off after not that long of a time.

I can't speak to whether this is still true, but there was a time period where Apple would reject certain categories of iOS app store submissions and tell people to just make a website - 'simple webview' type stuff, like apps for a small business etc.

The natural response to that is to make a PWA if Apple says you're not good enough for the store. Now that option is going away, so I can understand if people who previously relied on it are ticked off.
In the context - a hackathon sponsored by the US Department of Defense - it has great utility. GPS (and any radio-based location system) is quite vulnerable to denial by enemy jamming. This technique would by extremely relevant in a war between peers, and probably provides a much lower cost option than high-precision inertial navigation systems.

Tangentially, this isn't really new - ground-pointed RADAR system combined with a good terrain dataset can also be used.

You can only measure acceleration using an accelerometer. A gyroscope is technically still useful here for removing the gravity vector from the data accelerometer is reporting.

measured acceleration = true acceleration + accelerarion error

velocity = (true acceleration)t + (accleration error)t + v_0 + v_0's error

position = (true acceleration)t^2/2 + (acceleration error)t^2/2 + (v_0)t + (v_0's error)t + p_0 + p_0's error

The error grows quadratically meaning that this equation can only be used for a brief amount of time.

This was a listening problem, not a puzzle. But I guess you're going the proof by demonstration route. Fair enough.
This doesn't help much to prevent collisions though, does it? An alternate namespace is obviously not going to use a TLD that already exists in the DNS, but it's much more likely to use one that exists in a different alternate namespace they've never heard of, since those will be more obscure and more likely to be missed. Putting them both under .alt does nothing to prevent this.

What you're really doing is reserving all of the as yet unallocated namespace to the DNS, privileging it over any alternatives which then have to use longer names. What you need is a mechanism for alternate namespaces to register their use of a particular subset of the global namespace against both other alternate namespaces and the DNS, at which point you wouldn't need to put them all under .alt.

They also immediately damaged that subset of the namespace:

> DNS stub and recursive resolvers do not need to look them up in the DNS context.

Now some DNS stub resolver implementers or administrators will read this and reject any queries under .alt, making it unsuitable for any namespace you would like intermediary resolvers to look up in an upstream server that supports them.
