amazing progress on a weapon thats entirely redundant on a modern battlefield, if the f35 is ever in a situation where it can get guns on an enemy, many things have gone horribly wrong and it would honestly be much better to chuck a 9x at the target or, even better, have lobbed an AMRAAM at them at 40nm

Explain how you're adding value to "streaming" in a way that makes sense to me as a nerd and to my non tech friends. Otherwise you look like every other streaming platform out there. And we don't need more of those.
Fair. I can't claim to know how to make it work better in the US. We have also other private infrastructure in the UK that's not working so well (like the water companies, which are not providing enough sewage processing capacity and so allow the extra to overflow into rivers)

It is the definition of memory safety that Rust uses.

Very interesting! It would make sense to sail across to the New World with the cattle breeds which were immediately available by the ports, which from the British Isles were of course mostly in Devon.

> As I understand it, the original Devon breed in England remains quite popular.

I would say that's right; you definitely see them around in Devon, where they outnumber the Holstein-Friesians which seen to otherwise dominate the European dairy cow population.
From the FAQ:

> Canva’s business model is subscription, are there any plans to change how Affinity is sold?

> There are no changes to our current pricing model planned at this time, with all our apps still available as a one-off purchase. Existing Affinity users will be able to continue to use your apps in perpetuity as they were originally purchased – with plenty of free updates to V2 still to look forward to!

So, based on 100% of these deals turning these kinds of things into SaaS, it’s fair to assume v3 is going to be subscription based, right?
I'm working on a canvas that records your pen/brush strokes as you draw on it.
https://superpaper.netlify.app/

Motivation is that large-language models have a very straight-forward task of predicting the next token and the dataset is easy to get. With this app I aim to do two things:
1. Gather a fairly large dataset that captures the brush-strokes for various art prompts.
2. Bootstrap an algorithm / model that can decompose any image/art/illustration into brush strokes.

A longer-term goal for this app is to build an auto-complete (Co-pilot or Grammarly equivalent) for art.

ps: This app has some bugs. Keep low expectations

Thanks for the YT recommendation. Sega alt-history is something I've spent more than a few hours thinking about.

It's hard to really nail down without knowing about chip prices in the day, but my thinking was to wait on the Sega CD until 92 or 93, include a DSP or two for basic 3D operations (like the Sega Virtua Processor in Virtua Racing) and market the CD as allowing for cheaper, bigger games instead of FMV garbage.

Then release the Saturn in 95 as an upgraded version of the same architecture akin to the SMD/Gen being based on the SMS. Add a newer CPU (SH-3 or PowerPC 603), use an upgraded SMD's graphics chip for 2D (like VDP2 on the Saturn), the 68K for audio, and whatever 3D silicon Sega had developed (probably still quads)

If this was financially / technically possible, it would have staved off Sega's fear about the SMD/Gen falling behind the SNES in 92-95, allowed backwards compatibility, and been less jank to develop for.

I'm not sure I agree with step one in an absolute sense like they put it. In general sense yes it's a very good idea, but if you have an interest rate that's less than inflation and other ways to make money that is more than inflation often times it's better to keep the debt. This kind of thing is usually only available to those who've acquired some sort of financial security. If you can do this this allows you to borrow money and then a repay less money in the future.
It pains me a lot of enterprises are slow on some upgrades. And given 21 was a stable release, it will probably be a long time before we see any of these features in 22. Is anyone doing anything interesting with virtual threads from 21? Looking forward to anything in particular from 22?
I had the same question.

Following the wikipedia link from the README: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

helped me develop a little bit of understanding and it confirmed my suspicion about 96 = 24 positions * (2 output pins / 4 states).

Asking an LLM next, provided this sentence:

"Resolution Increase: By detecting both the rising and falling edges of both channels' signals, you effectively multiply the basic steps per turn. Each step in one channel can be subdivided into four phases (A rising, B rising, A falling, B falling), which leads to the increased resolution. Here’s the math: 24 steps * 4 (due to the four phases per step in quadrature encoding) = 96 steps per turn."

Hubris has some particular design constraints that allow it to do interesting things, but also may disqualify it for certain projects. The main one is that everything is static, ahead of time: you set up tasks when you build the OS and the tasks, there's no "spawn new task" sort of APIs.

Another difference is that Hubris does not use async Rust, and embassy does. That may be something you desire either way. We don't believe async Rust is bad (heck it's used further up the stack quite a bit) but it wasn't a fit for this project.

The documentation explains the design goals: https://hubris.oxide.computer/reference/

Doesn't mean embassy isn't good too, it's just different.
This is interesting. I recently built a search tool that needed to locate documents by keyword or by semantics, so I implemented a hybrid search straight away: BM25 + embeddings (from `gte-base`), with a cross-encoder for reranking.

I found that the lexical search was adding nothing; the embeddings alone produced almost identical results for keyword queries. (The re-ranker, however, made a big difference.)

Is this unusual?

Not really. Cbmc is really cool but it doesn't lead to the kind of high level proof refinement that lets you say things like "this low level code correctly implements the paxos protocol".

Cmbc is -useful- and lets you check some important safety properties and it's a great tool. But it's not the state of the art in terms of how extensively you can check things with formal verification. It's closer to the state of the art of what you can do with legacy code.

Things like VeRus let you write annotated rust together with proofs that can show higher-level properties such as liveness, mutual exclusion, etc.

Never heard it outside of the context of flow control in networking.

Not a thing in software outside of pieces communicating over a network, not using a protocol which has implicit flow control like TCP.

E.g. words like "the lexer was producing tokens too fast, so the parser applied backpressure" have never been heard.
Absolutely not. Use the right tool for the job. There's nothing particularly wrong with shell scripts, as long as the people who maintain them are reasonably good at not making them into a dangerous nightmare waiting to delete your home directory or something.
In theory. Reception of FM works much like AM except you need an FM detector before turning the signal into audio. A circuit a little more fancy, than a diode (or rusty razor blade and wire) used in AM. But not that much more fancy. There are many ways to detect FM. Most methods actually use the phase - the immediate relative change in the frequency - and not the actual frequency. While the modern technique is a phase-locked loop, it can be much simpler.

A classic passive RC or LC or RL filter, will cause a phase shift. Take the difference between two phases effectively decodes FM. No active elements required. With only RL filters it would be very inefficient. So you may need to be standing next to the transmitter if you don't have at least one transistor or tube. But one such tube or transistor would be plenty for a strong local broadcast.

If you have some capacitors, it gets easier. Maybe paper and tinfoil rolled tightly, or flakes of glass or mica between thin slices of wood. Check out the slope detector circuits here [1] (fig 3, 4); the article is a good introduction to FM detection in general.

My father has had both hips replaced in the fast few years. Both surgeries were very successful and he has retained full hip joint function. He no longer has pain in his hips.

His surgeon used an approach that minimised damage to the muscles in the area. If I recall correctly, this meant he gain access to the hip joint via the posterior side of dad's upper leg, and went between muscle and tendon, rather than needing to cut muscle to get to the joint.

I don't know if I'm remembering correctly, but dad healed up pretty quickly.

Typos don't seem so bad. A few years ago when a small article hit a California newspaper's website about my elderly uncle being murdered, the comments immediately filled with complete strangers agreeing that we, the family, had probably killed him because we didn't want to deal with taking care of him. That was great fun to read while trying to cope with his death.
With obstacles such as the bridge/s are tugs used to escort vessels out to open seas? If not why not?
As far as I am aware, there are few legal directions as to what the police are supposed to do (or how they are supposed to engage in this behavior) at all under either federal or California law. Instead, we have specific protections carved out for specific situations under which police are forbidden to engage in specific behavior.

Please, anyone, correct me if I am wrong.

This seems to be the natural result of said reluctance: dehumanizing behavior with no apparent benefit to society except for the sadistic joy of the perpetrators.
That may be so and I appreciate CalTrans confidence in the matter. I however would never want a similar set of circumstances to strike the bay bridge and have to test it.

It is a very different bridge design (assuming were talking about the Oakland to treasure island portion) and it is built in earthquake country.

I'm not saying there shouldn't have been fenders or other protective measures. I'm saying that the amount of force on a direct hit that STOPPED that the ship dead in its tracks - that bridge was not going to withstand it and I do question what would happen to the bay bridge. Again I appreciate the confidence of CalTrans to reassure the commuters but I have seen government officials express too much confidence before.
iOS parental controls are awful. The only way to get any decent control for my concerns that the moment is using the downtime features all day long. Effectively I've told iOS that he should be in bed for 23 hours and 55 minutes a day. It's ridiculous and extremely limiting.

Microsoft's parental controls are sort of ok. I also have separate control software for Windows and I have controls at the router. Of course, none of things can talk to each other to create a coordinated plan (say giving X number of screen time hours per day).
I see now that I should have made myself more clear. slides made in InDesign are indeed a stated requirment. Why....

I teach Design. One of the key learning outcomes of most design courses is the ability to handle long documents through their structural styles: heading 1, heading 2, caption, block quote, lists etc. Most design apps offer this functionality, even Powerpoint. However, none do it as elegantly as InDesign. I'm no Adobe fanboy (I do most of my own work in the Affinity suite) but InDesign remains the leader of the pack in this regard.

One crucial strength of InDesign is that it that manages anti aliasing of text very effectively. Just compare the output of ID to MS Word and you will see. I guess you are familiar with pdfs from LaTex? Compare those with pdfs from MS word. Similar difference.

It also does not produce or allow fake bold/italic etc. If a font does not have a built in bold then it won't fake one up by thickening the characters. This is why the font and charter panels in InDesign seem so feature-poor compared to those of Photoshop or Illusustor which offer such fake variants.

One final reason... cloud based services are risky things to rely on, especially in a uni. This year one service many students and staff used closed its doors. Caused a lot of angst.

There is probably a disproportionate amount of texts describing the presence of a tumor on a scan than texts describing what a normal scan would look like. So this is expected. But I think that is not the purpose of a LLM. There should be a classification algorithm detecting the presence or not of a tumor and then a a LLM can be used to generate a description of it or why the scan is normal.

And I don't know any, but there is probably already tools to help radiologists, what they call their "own AI".

> Then if I understood your reply correctly, you basically rejected it with "if I can't do it, then the AI can't do it".

My point was more “even I can do that: it's not the limiting factor”. You need a channel of communication, and intelligence alone (for most values of "intelligence") doesn't give you that. No one person or organisation on Earth has that much influence.

I also have a bias against magical thinking applied to computer programs. While I'm happy to presume that there exists some algorithm most of the time, I'm incredibly sceptical of the idea that This One Weird Trick will discover The Book. You can't just presume that the AI can pull every capability it might ever need out of hammerspace, which is what most singularitarians seem to do. Who knows, perhaps I'm overcompensating?
