Please don't do anything rash. It's not worth it. None of us actually know what the future holds.
> could you call it well-engineered?

What is well engineered depends on the goals and the limitations of the state of the art at the time. I would say that a thousand year old bridge might count as well engineered if the goal was a bridge that had a low total lifetime cost.
Your post was not a disagreement. You intentionally rephrased what I said and implied that I'm lying and all the atrocities (many of them, but not all, well documented) done by russians are propaganda.
By doing this, you help russians to continue their genocide.

The 1000 year medieval bridge we're talking about could have been an efficient design for its time.

How we can make money with bored services?
Hello Everyone, I worked with someone on bored and Manual task, acutely it's periodically tasks to provide our Educational service to Targeted Segment in KSA, and I felt I want to make this work more intelligent so I automated 90% of this work and reduced the work time 100x, the revenue model depend on subscription fees.
so my question what is the service maybe to be profitable like this.

If you check the other articles about the PlayStation [1] and the Nintendo 64 [2], you'll see that the design of a 3D-capable console in the 90s was a significant challenge for every company. Thus, each one proposed a different solution (with different pros and cons), yet all very interesting to analyse and compare. That's the reason this article was written.

I loved acid as a late-teen. I took a lot. I didn't take the view that it should be legalized; I was OK with it, but it wasn't hard to imagine someone getting seriously screwed-up by it. Two of my friends were hospitalized for psychiatric disorders after taking it, but I suspect they were both latent schizophrenics.

So I'd talk about it enthusistically (like any acid-head!), but I'd never recommend itto anyone.
They say nothing of the kind in that article, the only challenge they talk about is that they couldn't use integrated chipsets like the rest of the industry does for various privacy reasons, and that various suppliers they chose didn't have open-source drivers for the OS they wanted. Nothing mentioned in this article is anti-competetive, and I would bet those manufacturers also didn't have drivers for iOS or Windows Mobile or what have you.
Never before in history have parents obsessed like this over how a child plays.

Play is unstructured for a reason: so that children can go off on tangents, exploring their world and discovering new and interesting things, exercising their creativity in many ways that won't work, but gaining a deeper understanding of how things really do work in the process of their experimentation. The more you interfere, the more you stunt that kind of growth. As you artificially cut off more and more avenues, you implicitly teach your child not to even try, but rather meekly accept the uninspired realities presented by their betters.
Very cool that the dataset and model weights are open right away! This paper also doesn't have a bunch of weird architectural choices pulled out of nowhere like the other TS foundation models recently. Looks like it will actually be useful, thank you! Maybe I will actually get to do representation learning for TS during my PhD.

As a sidenote/rant, it would be nice if all supervised TS benchmarks included "DLinear + RevIN" as the standard baseline, as in my experiments it tends to get about the same performance as all other new SOTA forecasting models. Most papers compare to the linear model without RevIN while they themselves use it, and only beat it because of that :) And in any case supervised training of transformers from scratch on datasets having less than 1M points is just stupid (so less raw data than a single image?). Less than 1B is still at least mildly stupid.

Here of course the angle is zero-shot so its somewhat excused from this, but it still would be interesting whether it can beat that supervised model combination.
This is dated to 2009. Probably sound advise back then.

Compilers are much much better with SIMD code than they were then. Today you'll have to work real hard to beat LLVM in optimizing basic SIMD code (edit: when given SIMD code as input, see comment below).

Yeah, sad that libraries have embraced these DRM schemes instead of fighting for their rights to preserve our culture without the need for rightholder approval.
I’m a huge “it’s capitalism’s fault” person, but this one feels mostly inevitable. Bridges are wonders of engineering that require this delicate balance, and I don’t think “just build em the old way” is an option. It’s not just price, it’s strength (for non-container-ship events…), span, height, construction time, etc. Obviously I’m in no place to evaluate the specifics of this bridge, and as someone from the SF Bay Area I know allll about corporate corruption fucking up expensive brand new bridges, but I feel like you’re yelling at the moon a bit here. Apologies if I misunderstood though!

That "20 minute patch" will need to be maintained for decades to come in FFmpeg, long after a standalone JPEG-XL library. Potentially centuries as archives like the Library of Congress are storing FFmpeg. So that's why it's done in assembly, so it's maintainable with the rest of the code.
> They didn't have to do so. It has nothing to do with standards and everything to do with companies becoming aggressively and openly hostile towards anything that isn't directly under their control.

we tried to do it differently. it was impossible. every company had it’s own extensions on top of the standards because the standards were poor. those extensions only worked when chatting with someone on the same network using the same software. this was not sustainable. when we removed those standards we not only provided an incredible experience for the user but we also removed huge amounts of code that made everything much faster.

the casualty was interoperability.
How do you know if you have invalid utf8?
Do you mean 50 years without maintenance? I would be shocked if major bridges weren't designed to last indefinitely.
Governments certainly try. The US does the similar efforts through subsidy type programs, I don't think the Chinese government are able to accurately pick industry any better. They have more force to put behind their decisions, like building ultra cheap real estate, roads and general infrastructure but I am not sure they have the ability to pick a specific piece of industry any better.
For decades now, whenever I've tried to make a street deal, the vendor has sidled away, saying "I think you're a cop". I don't have much hair nowadays.
It’s actually the other way around.

“Currency” use-cases for blockchain actually work. It’s just that adoption has plateaued because most people don’t actually have the problems that cryptocurrencies solve and are perfectly happy with fiat.

On the other hand, all the other use-cases of crypto/blockchain are outright scams/frauds because of the oracle problem.
The B-tree has at least two lessons, independently of whether you ever re-implement one: (a) using trees instead of flat search gains an O(log n) over O(n) algorithmic factor, and (b) using chunky flat elements sized to the bandwidth-delay product of storage results in significant wall-clock (constant factor?) gains.

any recovered rare movies would, at least forme me, make watching it

He could have the best VHS records out there and the best tapes, but
the source material being recorded would be painfully limited, as
would the recordings.

I would have expected Scorsese to have requested, threatened, manipulated, bribed, and so on to obtain film reels.

This would not be possible for a lot of the content but surely for quite a few.

He could do the same for original VHS cassettes with the movies (like you would find in a rental store. Just unwatched ones.

Also that he would have people to buy DVD version when (if) they came out.
Still if a DVD version was released that would indicate that the source
film was available and Scorsese could have a copy of that instead.

The modules in this site indeed are less than 10kSLOC (about 9070 SLOC), but we have to consider that in Oberon - in contrast to C - usually many statements are written on the same line; there seem to be at least two statements in each line; three to four statements seem to be common. So you can multiply the SLOC by at least two when comparing with a common C program. And I neither would call it an IDE, since it lacks most features which we associate with IDEs since the late nineties (e.g. no source-level debugger, no syntax coloring or cross-referencing, etc.).

Case of, they are built strong, but not that strong.

A container ship has huge inertia, I don't think any bridge could be built to take a direct hit like that.
I think many people dont get this. Let's do simple math.

Let's imagine an 8TB drive costs $100 and can store 200 movies as their raw bluray encoding. that means each movie costs 50 cents to store without any real work. If one can divide the space needed by half, one only saved 25c.

But how much did it cost to save that 25c.

Lets imagine one can encode a movie with x264/5, but it will consume 100watts of cpu power over 10 hours to do that (or a kilowatt total). If one is paying 20c a killowat hour (US national average is 19c a kilowatt hour, california is 33c per google) one just paid 20c more to encode it, so if one cut the size in half, one in practice only saved 5c. If one spent 5-10 minutes setting up the encode, did one spend 5c of one's time doing that? Personally, the setup for me was also 25c worth of time.

Now, one can "save more", if one is storing duplicate copies. (i.e. I'm storing it on 2 or more hard drives, not 1), but its still not really that significant.

Now, if one isn't spending one's own time and energy to encode it (i.e. is pirating it as others did the work), then perhaps one can argue that a "good" encode vs the raw is better and makes more efficient usage of one's space. But the argument here isn't about pirating, but about storing one's own legally obtained media.

As I've argued elsewhere, the only reasonable reason I've found for encoding is that one runs into "physical" space limitations (i.e. how many hard drives one can keep online). I'm just unconvinced that should override the time and cost of doing the encoding oneself.
The problem for GP and for me too is inkjets needs a couples of cleaning and test prints after a drop of IPA on K, C, LC, LM and M ink drawing port each time I'd use it. That won't happen with lasers at all.

It is no longer uniform. It's counter-intuitive (unless you've really internalised the Fourier transform and/or the Shannon-Hartley theorem) but a pure sine wave stops being a pure sine wave if you key it on and off and occupies progressively more bandwidth as the keying rate increases.

An even less intuitive result is that you can decode a signal that is weaker than the noise floor if the data rate is sufficiently low and/or the bandwidth is sufficiently high. This has practical applications in amateur modes like JT65, ultra-wideband communications and even GPS.
This is really an interesting take.

OLED is irrelevant because the display isn't driven with interlaced data like a CRT TV might have been - instead the no matter the technology, all pixels are updated at the same time. The deinterlacing needs to happen before that and that was also needed for many displays back when DVDs were common.
One of the tougher problems in the realm. I suppose the best is to generate a scrubbed dataset.
At least in the links with the video now you can see that the container ship directly hits one of the two main (and in the central area only) pillars completely collapsing it.

No matter(1) the engineering there is no pretty much way to not lose the whole large middle area and left area leading to the destroyed pillar in that situation.

Such a collapse crates so much force (tension vibrations etc.) so that the collapse of the section right of the right pillar is not unreasonable.

The only question is if the impact should have made the pillar collapse.

But a loaded container ship is ... absurdly massive I mean they are like multiple high raise building (but not sky scrapers) standing squished together side by side. So the force it can apply is huge and if cargo moving in it there will be force applied to whatever it crashes into even after the initial impact.

And looking at the waves caused by impact with the base it was at least 8m high I think (depending on the container ship). So that wasn't a "slow moving" impact. And even slow moving impacts with container ships can tear apart a solid jetty.

So while the US has issues with infrastructure maintenance idk. if anything but building a many pillar bridge would have made any difference. And building a many pillar bridge might not be very viable depending on the under water landscape and water use under the main area.

EDIT: Looking at pictures with daylight where you can try to estimate the high of the ship using containers I would say the waves where handwavingly 4 containers high so ~9.5m and it also looks like the ship might have embedded half of the pillars fundament into/under itself (but it's a bit hard to tell to the angle of the picture). I think if that's the case probably the huge majority of bridge pillars of past and presence would have collapsed.
Money needs to have inflation or the incentive is to hoard rather than spend.

Why buy a Tesla today for a bitcoin if you can buy it for 0.6 bitcoins in an year or something?

Whereas with fiat you have incentives to either invest or spend, but not sit on cash.

Money has no value, none of it, not dollars not bitcoins. Unless you like staring at images of Benjamin Franklin or the Queen of UK, it's worthless.

The entire proposition of imaginary money that is deflative because there will always be less in circulation is ridiculous, and Bitcoin clearly shows that it doesn't work.

Every single time one of my clients added crypto as a mean of payments very few people were interested and we had seen only few transactions till they dropped to 0. And my experience isn't unique, even huge players reported the same happening.

People hoard bitcoin to sell it to the next fool at higher price, there is no convenience or point into using it as a payment tool if you have alternatives, it's just gonna cost you more in fees and transactions and be more inconvenient than credit card/apple-google pay.
