I never claimed that Blender was at the level of more focused CAD/CAM and other specialized tool.

I also never claimed that rendering was the only thing you'd ever want to do downstream of building a CAD model. There is a ton of things other than rendering you might want to do with a 3D model initially produced in a cutting-edge CAD package, none of which are possible in the package itself.

On the other hand, if you've ever tried to import - say - an animation or a blob-based model in something like Fusion 360 or Catia ... the whole thing is simply laughable.

Whereas Blender can gobble up pretty much anything that looks like 3D data and give you a huge list of tools to manipulate, edit, display, and change it. No other tools, proprietary or OSS can get anywhere near it in terms of generality.

The fact that Blender, and everything it can do even for a straight CAD-to-manufacturing pipeline is not on your radar doesn't mean it doesn't exist or make it less interesting.
From this article, you'll find out how to integrate emotion recognition API into your app, software, or system using JavaScript.
There are named files (which have a file path) and anonymous files (which do not). You can see these in /proc/$PID/fd/$FD if you're curious - when the link doesn't start with '/', it's anonymous. Even process memory is just an anonymous file on Linux, and arguably a cleaner one as it operates on proper fds, instead of plan9 where a string "class name" (not a path) is used to access the magical '#g' filesystem.

The difference to plan9 is not the files, but the way plan9 uses text protocols with read/write to ctl files. To open a TCP connection - if memory serves me right - you first have to write to a ctl file, which creates a new file for the connection. Then, you write the dial command to the ctl file of that connection, and after which you can open the connection file. On Linux, a syscall creates an anonymous file, and then everything after is operations on this anonymous file.

There's some ideological benefits, but plan9 creates a mess of implicit text protocols, ugly string handling, syscall storms and memory inefficiencies. Their design is pretty much solely a limitation caused by the idea that all filesystems should exist through the 9p protocol, which as a networked protocol cannot share data (fds, structs), only copy (payloads to/from read, write). With the idea that all functionality had to be replaceable and mountable from remote machines, the only possible API became read/write for everything.

I'd argue that fd-using syscalls and ioctls - basically per-file syscalls - is a superior approach to implement everything-as-a-file.
Globalisation is good, as long as it works for China. Globalisation is bad and should be prevented when globalisation doesn't work for China.
I've got two things to say about that:

1) Multiple researchers have obtained U-shaped lead-IQ curves which regress toward the mean at extreme values. This, in my opinion, strongly implies that the lead-IQ correlation only occurs in the "ordinary exposure through dirt and dust" regime.

2) The effect sizes reported back in the 70s, when lead levels were an order of magnitude or two higher than they are now, were significantly lower than the effect sizes reported in contemporary research. In both cases, however, they can be broadly summarized as "3-5 IQ points per standard deviation of exposure".
Cloudflare blocks legitimate browsers again; support says "suspicious activity"
The issue is on CloudFlare's side. It is possibly related to lack of Origin: or References: in a POST request that is part of the turnstile workflow.

On a previous occasion, their support staff kept telling people their browsers were unsupported, until the matter was noticed by someone inside CloudFlare, and the issue then got fixed.

This time, their response to Moonchild chalks this down to "suspicious activity" or some custom rule, but does not even mention any kind of browser version limit. No, what is happening (and I've tested this enough to be sure of it) is that they are requiring a behaviour that was only implemented in (for the mozilla codebase) Firefox 70.0, and it is failing for browsers that don't behave in that way.

Let me state it clearly: CloudFlare checks (at least those of "turnstile"?) are rejecting legitimate browsers and users.

CloudFlare may as well have decided they want to reject all but a few browsers - it's their business - but then they should clearly advertise this. Their potential and current customers should be clearly told entering a deal with CloudFlare means they are limiting their user base to those using CloudFlare-approved browsers.

In the past, what happened with their "browser integrity check" appeared to be an error on CloudFlare's side which required such a behaviour (in that case, the Origin: header had to be always present) from all browsers even in fallbacks clearly meant for browsers that did not implement such behaviour. Now is this the case here too with turnstile or has CloudFlare decided to significantly change the purpose of their "protections" to do more than just banning e.g. bots?

This is affecting at least SeaMonkey and Pale Moon.

One of the most important life lessons I've learnt is to not conflate the model for the reality it tries to capture but also not waste a good model because it doesn't perfectly capture the underlying reality. In this case, poor understanding of both the model and the underlying reality means that people will dismiss both the lean startup methodology and MVP as a technique when both are incredibly powerful tools aimed at exploring if and how a product might be successful.

> I'm one step away from claiming that their success is pure luck, as in "being in the right time with the right people", rather than some effort that they've put it which helped them acquire customers, and I'm simply unlucky.

It's definitely a lot of luck - but don't think it's just that. Relentless drive and stellar performance in many different fields (tech, marketing, sales etc) is absolutely necessary and practically no amount of luck would help you without that. You have to keep trying to get lucky and be ready to take and milk the opportunity when it happens.

The luck is not in getting customers, though, especially not in B2C. That's just about product-market fit and marketing. I know people who can consistently do it again and again with any product or service that makes sense - and of course appropriate budget.

It's more about luck in B2B if you're just starting out, but again, I know people who can consistently sell anything that makes sense to the customers. They had to get lucky a lot at the beginning, but they went out, met people, pitched, and did it again and again. Do that for enough years and you build a network wide enough to just send a few messages and get clients immediately.

It's just numbers - there is a likelihood you'll meet a big client ready to buy, a likelihood you'll meet an investor today. It's about putting yourself out continuously, every day, to increase the odds you get lucky.

How many cold calls with prospective customers do you have daily? How often do you talk to people who might be interested on LinkedIn or other professional forums/social networks? How often do you attend in-person professional/networking events, conferences, tech talks? If you're not doing that at least few times a week, your odds are very low.

Does anyone know the value of preventing users from getting their own order history?

Apple also makes it nearly impossible to get full purchase history from app stores. The only place left is Music, Account, Purchases, Custom range, All Year, checkmark all types, checkmark all family members -- then it's in a tiny vertical scroll pop up with no cut and paste. With everything as IAPs, extracting 500 of these a year at 3 - 4 at a time is tedious.

Were competitive intelligence apps or browser extensions using user browser creds to surveil or surreptitiously steal entire purchase histories?
A modern "Indigenous lifestyle" means a lot of things. There's no contradiction in Indigenous people wanting to preserve their historical traditions, crafts and practices while also adapting to the current state of the world. Most Native people in Canada live in cities now and face issues of racism and generational trauma from colonial government practices like Residential Schools and the 60s Scoop which sought to cut their connections to their culture.

Developing land like this is a way for the tribe to generate revenue and take care of their members, but it's also a way for them to have meaningful input into the development process. They don't have some responsibility to leave the land as a pristine untouched wilderness, they can choose to develop it in a way that aligns with their values.

I visited a museum in the North once where they were talking about preserving the practice of carving giant canoes, to travel south and trade with Europeans. It struck me how this practice was historical and important culturally, but it also arose out of colonial interactions in the past 500 years. Both can be true.

There's been an astonishing amount of research done on the lead-IQ relationship over 50+ years. It's no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most thoroughly investigated public health topics. And one of the most interesting.

My belief is that lead is a noisy metric for dirt/dust ingestion, which correlates with IQ for a variety of reasons. Homes of poor families tend to be dirtier, and wealthier families tend to live in newer suburban housing farther from curbs for example, but that sort of thing is pretty easy to control for. The big thing that can't be controlled in a straightforward way, is developmentally delayed children eating more dust/dirt. To a much lesser extent, this also correlates negatively with IQ in adults due to pica, disregard for cleanliness, etc correlating negatively with IQ. But the lead-IQ correlation is strongest at age 2, and that's no coincidence.

Observable symptoms of lead poisoning occur at blood levels above ~60 mcg/dL, which is 3-4 times higher than the levels studied in 1970s-era lead IQ research, and about 2 orders of magnitude higher than the levels studied in contemporary lead-IQ research. The latter body of research reports significantly larger effect sizes than the former.

Let me see if I got this.

1. Settlers colonize indigenous lands, drive indigenous people into small parcels and reservations and try to exterminate their culture.

2. Settlers decide to start refusing to build enough housing for themselves because they don’t want to alter the “character of the neighborhood” after… uhh… very much doing that.

3. Indigenous people build housing on their remaining bits of land for settlers, make tons of money off it.

K, yeah, I think I got it.

Maybe there’s a solution for California in here: decolonize!

Who were the indigenous people who inhabited the Bay Area? If they’re still around, push a big decolonizing movement to return some land to them. Place looks like Tokyo in 20 years.

“Okay, okay, we suck, you can have your ancestors land back. Just can you let me reserve a condo when they go on sale?”

Then watch all the Bay Area lefty 60s homeowners suddenly become white nationalists. Their ideology is probably downstream of their home equity.

I wouldn’t call it a slur. To the extent it’s an effective insult, it’s due to centuries of behavior by white men. If someone uses “white man” to call out certain behavior, it might be worth their target considering why they got called out. Maybe sometimes it’s unfair to the white man to be called out, but often it isn’t. For folks who find it troublesome or disturbing to not receive the benefit of the doubt about their intentions as a white man, consider how much benefit of the doubt is given in everyday contexts to pretty much any individual who is not a white man.

Interesting! Wonder if it's also due to ease / lower risk of containment. And sand doesn't expand if you accidentally let it freeze, which is again nice from an "it won't rupture" perspective.

As to cost, the article does note that they're reusing crushed soapstone from a local byproduct, so maybe that helps reduce the cost?

That said, their FAQ says it's about heat capacity: https://polarnightenergy.fi/sand-battery

> Why do you use sand?

> Many solid materials, such as sand, can be heated to temperatures well above the boiling point of water. Sand-based heat storages can store several times the amount of energy that can be stored in a water tank of a similar size; this is thanks to the large temperature range allowed by the sand. So, it saves space and it allows versatile use in many industrial applications.

So perhaps they're also specifically targeting future applications where they would need to supply > 100C heat.
Air conditioners have a COP of about 3 though. So really its more like 3.5kwh of storage. If you want to go lower temperature to store more then your COP drops.

That might be the content of what Kant is speaking about, but I think the method/process of what he is speaking about is interesting and deserving of attention too.

"Thanks be to Nature, then, for the incompatibility, for heartless competitive vanity, for the insatiable desire to possess and to rule! Without them, all the excellent natural capacities of humanity would forever sleep, undeveloped. Man wishes concord; but Nature knows better what is good for the race; she wills discord. He wishes to live comfortably and pleasantly; Nature wills that he should be plunged from sloth and passive contentment into labor and trouble, in order that he may find means of extricating himself from them. The natural urges to this, the sources of unsociableness and mutual opposition from which so many evils arise, drive men to new exertions of their forces and thus to the manifold development of their capacities. They thereby perhaps show the ordering of a wise Creator and not the hand of an evil spirit, who bungled in his great work or spoiled it out of envy."

With bluesky there are actually fairly few parts that are central.

Now that PDS are available for federation, you can host all your own data. Apparently relays are now also federated as part of the PDS as well but I haven't gotten a chance to look into that aspect yet.

You can choose your own custom feed services and labellers.

The app itself (web and mobile) is open source so you can build it yourself without the default bluesky labeller or feed if you wanted to.

Even identities can be done without using any central servers by using web DIDs instead of plc DIDs.

The only thing that you have to go through a centralised system for are the indexers which to my knowledge are part of BGS. BGS is open source, it's just still in the process of being federated.

So you can use bluesky with 90% of it not under any US authority and if you give it a year that should be 100%.
Aren't you worried about the consequences of supporting generalizations over a group from the actions of their members? I learned at an early age that that's not OK, but it seems to be changing again, as long as the target is in a specific group.
> That is just completely wrong and displays ignorance of the basics of how capital markets work. Investors want to maximize their risk-adjusted rate of return. Even if a corporation still has some potential growth opportunities, investors may prefer to get their capital back so that they can invest in other more profitable ventures and they will exercise their votes accordingly.

It's hilarious how you put these two sentences together completely ignoring the possibility of selling you shares on the open market if you "prefer to get your capital back". That's a real display of ignorance.
> still a mystery to me how building a mega constellation of satellites is more achievable than burrowing some fibers and building cell towers

To get permission to build the mega constellation you need to convince a few regulatory agencies. To burrow fibers and building cell towers you need to convince and appease every local authority and land owner who is in your way.
There's a bunch of stuff in the way when installing fiber. Also humans telling you you can't build there.
