In my experience wet clutches in automatics far outlasted any dry clutch that I was aware of. Toyotas last a long time but your bog standard iffy Ford AOD clutches would easily last beyond 200k abused. There are many clutch rings packed together and engagement is precise. Fluid changes are fairly easy...or can be. Ford has recently removed the dipsticks on their amazing 6speed truck transmission making it very difficult to change.

Looking at the state of open source software today a google is simply impossible because the ecosystem has rotted from the inside.

Look at how much effort it took to write the cgi-bin scripts google started with vs whatever flavour of the week JS framework you have to use now.

Not sure what the solution is but we need fewer sheep in development and less permissive licenses so developers doing unglamorous work can capture more of the value. There's a reason why every shop which supports massive open source projects is running away from legacy licenses as fast as they can and that reason is Amazon.

If you don't care about developers from the user side of things it's just as bad. The GPL in the age of cloud services does as much to protect user freedom as the MIT license did in the 1990s.

Presumably his probation terms included "don't commit crimes" so the cyberflasher law is only relevant as it was the crime he did to break his probation

FPGAs are ASICs. :)

The benefit being highlighted is that the "executable code" of the system is stored in volatile memory. The same can be done for a more traditional software system.
i think i have done most of these at one time or another. for example: strain gauge, random number generator, glitch generator, antenna.

unfortunately always unintentionally. which is much, much, less fun.
I can't tell which direction you are going with on this because the honest answer is a lot, and all my friends too. I remember a girl friend of mine in high school (we were 15) showing me a video of a grown man jerking off and she said he was married but they'd been cheating together.

That'd be an "Ask Alex" (nuclear weapons historian and blog author).

Hard to say, as an Australian I've managed in the past to provide some fresh details about tests back to US sources, it's certainly possible for outsiders to have a niche special subject.

It's easy to imagine Russian sleepers in the US tasked with cataloging anything and everything nuclear related .. and a whole lot more as a smoke screen. That'd make for a hoarder scale archive of newspaper clippings and a family versed in playing Trivial Pursuit on dates and descriptions.

Then again it may just be an expatriate Siberian obsessed with warm weather and bare legs.
There's actually three main catalysts. It's kind of funny that you only think there's two :)

The punishment for breaking probation should mostly be going back to prison. Over five years is way too much for that.

I will give Chord some credit for the idea of running the DAC super fast. I play music and occasionally record myself, and I can tell you that when you look at the waveforms, there is definitely a component of the human ear that can distinguish time intervals faster than 1/(22 kHz) despite being unable to hear frequencies over about 15-20 kHz (eg very tight flams in drum parts are audible). DSD had this idea, and I am 100% on board with it. Despite being a gold standard because of how it's produced, lossless CD audio cuts off this "high-frequency" component.

However, the actual analog parts of Chord's system around the fast DAC and the upscaling circuit seemed to be sort of suspect to me, from the handling of reference clocks to the nature of the output amplifiers. I'm glad ASR has confirmed those suspicions before I bought one.

At some point, I started a project making a multibit DAC running at 1 Msps with the same kind of FPGA upscaling (although ADI's SHARC DSPs are amazing) but a much more conventional frontend and better handling of clocks, but I realized it was too complicated to do while also doing all the other things I was doing at the time (and way too complicated now). The idea is still on the shelf for later (although it's probably already obsolete as a concept - delta-sigma is really good).
For videos that requires pretty significant effort even today to be done by hand. Humans don't scale. AI does.

I think anonymity is completely dead now. Not due to social networks but AI will definitely kill it. With enough resources it is possible to engage an AI arms race against whatever detector they put.

It is also possible to remove any watermarking. So the only way to prove if the content is made by humans will be requiring extensive proofs to their complete identity.

If you're from a minority or a fringe group, all of your hopes about spreading awareness anonymously on popular social media will be gone.

What is humiliating is to be seen failing to learn from elementary criticisms by longtime professionals.

In this, Loeb is different from promoters of the end-Pleistocene comet strike in North America, where all the criticisms were obviously specious and tendentious. In that case it was the critics who were humiliated. E.g., Boslough insisted, both circularly and speciously, that the historical rarity of comet strikes proves that no such recent strike could have occurred.

Loeb is different from promoters of the 130,000 year old mastodon butchery site in San Diego, where all the criticisms published after were already fully refuted in the original paper.

I've seen these before. Someone is under a lot of pressure to hire/build a team. Hence the job posts. But they're not given any hiring power or budget. Hence ghosting. Most companies would rather leave the job open unfilled than admit they can't/won't fill it. I mean, how do you go back to a candidate and say "I'd love to hire you but I got overruled and now you're 6 months in the hiring backlog, sorry about our internal politics." But take the job post down - never! The position isn't filled yet!
Elaborate Tales of Fake Journalists
Sounds like a dystopian shit hole.
In general, as I understand it, there was only ever evidence for a weak version, and many of the cited anthropological examples that make the case turn out to have dubious factual basis - the old ‘Eskimos have hundreds of words for snow’ and ‘there’s a tribe in Africa who have no word for numbers greater than three’ stuff, all filtered through layers of academic anecdote and institutional racism.

I'd love this for Nextcloud, having it sync to there, in an openly documented format. You see, I already got burned by Google Keep and their proprietary format once. So then it'd be worth it to buy an application like this with a good UI and decent keybindings. But not for this price... 150 USD for 1,5 years of software updates.

Look at Sublime Text. Sublime Text 3 was released in 2013, and Sublime Text 4 in 2021. That is approx 8 years of software updates for a big piece of software, top of line. For what was it like 100 USD? If you bought it later in the dev cycle, you'd get a discount on next. And it is cross-platform and native (no Electron). So you really are looking at 1 USD per month. A bargain.

I've been looking at Obsidian and Zettlr (not exactly same) but these too are just Electron apps. Although they seem to be cross-platform, and the document format is just MD. Zettlr is even FOSS.

What Nextcloud doesn't have (for me at least) is that the MD files can be edited and viewed by me and my wife at the same time. So with regards to one use case (grocery store shopping list) that is a minus. On Google Keep it worked, sort of.

Maybe if you have a high income this is peanuts to you, but for me, it just isn't. Especially not right now.

You can work this way in Lean. You need to have a goal to make the engine happy, but there's no need for the goal to be true -- you can just do something like

have h : ∀x, ∀y, x = y := by
-- h is not true, but in the attempt to prove it,
-- we can do whatever we want.
-- If we find something interesting, we can redefine h

> ...remarkably simple way to slash air cargo costs as much as 65% – by having planes tow autonomous, cargo-carrying gliders behind them, big enough to double, or potentially triple their payload capacity.

A 65% cost reduction via tripling the payload would require that costs not increase, no? Are these huge cargo gliders free to purchase/operate/maintain? And hauling them around puts zero additional load on the engines of the air freighter that's towing them, to increase maintenance or fuel costs?

> ...payload-carrying gliders were towed toward combat zones in World War 2, full of troops and/or equipment, then released to attempt unpowered landings in the thick of things – with widely variable results, particularly where stone-walled farms were a factor.

True, but glider losses due to mishaps (starting with broken tow ropes) were damned high even before they got to the target area. What % of cargo being lost in transit do these folks figure is acceptable, in the modern air freight business?

> These "Aerocarts" will be pulled down the runway by the lead plane just like a recreational glider. They'll lift off more or less together...

Ask anyone with a pilot's license about this. Especially if he has experience with taxiways at large & busy airports, or with taking off in anything less than picture-perfect weather, or with airplanes that lack "sporty" thrust/weight ratios.

> With no propulsion systems, you save all the weight of engines, motors, fuel, ...

Even if your towing airplane magically does not need larger engines or more fuel to haul 2x or 3x the weight around - what happens when you land, and the tow plane engages its thrust reversers?
Travel time of 8 hours vs 3 weeks... most things being transported by plane are ones where time is of the essence.

Some are brazen enough to advertise their "AI Powered HR tools" as they waste applicants time. In some places it is a crime to collect personal information without a time constrained retention window, and honest disclosure of intended use-case.

The fact remains that unless a company has posted a recent position on their site it likely won't exist for general applicants.

Best of luck, =)

That's a weird take. Almost nobody thinks a no frills todo app runs $150 at any scale. Except the guy who thinks a minimalist text editor is the same ballpark (and is right).

If it's more than a todo app, OmniFocus sets a price point: https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus/

Yep, $150. So not scale or age, cuz it is the granddaddy gold standard.

"What I am aware of is that there's around 5-7 trillion that were moved from stocks to t-bills since the Fed raised rates in March 2022."

This doesn't make much financial sense. Since every T-Bill is held by someone the amount of T-Bill outstanding is completely determined by government issuance. And since the amount of T-Bill outstanding will only grow over time, no "money" will ever flow out of it. Now if you narrow you inclusion of T-Bill holders to a specific group of people the amount this group holds could certainly go up and down over time. But then I wonder how you know this group sold stocks to buy T-Bills, and why this is more significant than the action of their counterparties: every share they sold was bought by someone else after all.
The point is that in order to prove something by contradiction, you must assume something that turns out to be false and see what you can derive from that assumption (ideally a contradiction). The last link in the sibling comments does indeed contain proofs that the given premise is impossible. Think about how you know that the square root of 2 is irrational.

It shouldn’t. The only issue is that most folks aren’t using powerful enough languages. As you note, using C++ as a scripting language would be pretty crazy. So don’t do that!
I agree with the US coming out stronger. One of the reasons why I'm working on moving myself and my business there.

I'm not so sure about counting them as taxes. Here are the edge cases for both in Germany:

1) You don't pay social security (~21%) if you are self-employed or a shareholder-director (with certain minimum percentage of shares) of a corporation. You can opt-in voluntarily, but most people don't like to light their money on fire, so almost nobody does that. There have been some attempts to turn this exemption over, but so far it stands. But the majority are employed with no way to avoid this, so they could count it as a tax.

2) Public health insurance is a percentage of your gross income (~20%), but it is actually mostly tax deductible. If you are over a certain income threshold (currently ~70k€/year), you can switch to private health insurance, which is a fixed rate instead of income percentage. This has pros (better service) and cons (hard to switch back to public health insurance after a certain time out of it, more expensive as you age, close family members not automatically included, preexisting conditions might be excluded from coverage).

What makes the whole thing even more complicated to compare, is that both public health insurance and social security are split between employee and employer on the payroll statement. So a gross salary of 60k€/year actually costs the employer 72k€/year. So for a better comparison, this total cost of employment and the total deductions should be compared. Most online calculators, politicians, discussions in the media, etc conveniently leave this out and therefore show much lower percentages, so your average employee isn't aware of this.

60k gross salary
72k total cost of employment
12,7k social security
12,2k public health insurance
10,7k taxes

A total of 49,33% deductions. And yes, after that comes 19% VAT (reduced to 7% for some goods, e.g. food) and other consumption taxes (fuel, energy, tobacco, etc). Tax on fuel is especially crazy at a total percentage of 59% for gasoline and 50% for diesel.

I guess everybody needs to decide for themselves if living (or employing people) in a declining socialist country is worth that much.

Agreed. But also the source of so many new possibilities. Like most things, the bad comes with the good.

Give yourself a break. When I studied in uni I was stuck at tables with 'old guys' and 'old ladies' and I had a lot of respect for them. They paid attention, wanted to learn, were there to learn. When I didn't understand something, I asked them before I asked the teacher and they generally were happy to help. I have fond memories
I really doubt that. Java is complicated enough that it's not beginner friendly even if you don't have to write the class to put main into.

Well yeah. You’re measuring the output to a multi-variate function. There should be no expectation that this one output drives other occasionally correlated outputs to other functions.
This is why you put typos and obvious flaws earlier in the communication, so you only spend time dealing with less discerning people

> It would be great to have more people working on a more cacheable build system.

Rig is not that yet, unfortunately. I don't want to get your hopes up.

It can't even do incremental builds yet. And while it has multi-threading, I haven't tested it.

This is very alpha software.

> That said, I wonder what Rug can do about IDE integration. Specifically several IDEs (visual studio and Xcode come to mind) need their own project file format to be able to understand how to interpret source code. One approach that Buck did is to generate those files. But it is always a source of friction when trying to get an IDE to integrate smoothly with an additional build system.

Generating those files was my plan, but friction is not good.

Can you describe the friction and its source? I'll do some rethinking and redesign.

Thank you for your interest!
> I wore gloves

I don't know if this also applies to garage door springs, but when working with lathes for example, it is often recommended to not wear gloves. I imagine if the spring comes loose, it might slash open your hand, but with a glove, it could fully grab it and basically wind up your hand and arm around itself.

How is building a rail system for transporting freight to and from the U.S. that runs through Russian territory a good/feasible idea?

Even if Russia agreed, Putin or whatever strong-man dictator they have next could suddenly decide it was a bad idea, and to block U.S. freight. Then we have no rail transport AND a grounded air fleet that would take time to get operational at the same output it is today.
Extraordinary claims require legitimate evidence. "Extraordinary" cannot describe evidence; all evidence is ordinary. What happened here is that the evidence was so bad as to be incapable of supporting any claim.
