> Front and back brakes on a bike are not there for redundancy. They are components of the same braking system: without both in service, they don't work as well.

Bikes are very different from cars due to the short wheelbase vs high center of gravity.

At moderate or fast speeds maxim deceleration occurs when the front tire applies enough force to lift the rear tires off the pavement thus removing the impact of the rear tires. Below maximum acceleration you could use the rear break but it doesn't do anything applying the front break slightly harder would do.

At sufficiently low speeds the rear tire can help, but it's really there for redundancy as even acting alone it doesn't work very well.

It wasn’t absurd. It established that pretty much everyone agrees that government intervention is sometimes needed to protect people from their impulses. The idea that everyone (especially kids) can simply exercise self control when it comes things as addicting as social media is absurd.
This. Coupled with our self-induced physician supply we are increasingly at the mercy of those who employ and control medical professionals.

For an assumption to get a gauge of forces involved:
Large cargo ship mass is 190,000 tons @ 8 knots (14.8 kph) - I end up with a Force of about 1.609 * 10^9 or 1.6 GN of force of impact assuming it stopped over a very short distance (1 M).

Force comparables (thanks GPT) for scale:
Saturn V rocket thrust is about 34 GN on take off.

Earthquakes: early stage of the earthquake might have about 1 GN of force in build up.

Great pyramid of Giza is estimated at 50 GN of weight - so 1.6 GN could support a fraction of the weight.

Engineering machinery - some of the largest human machines such as mining or lifting can exert forces only in the MN so would need a 1000 machines to get up to a GN.
I don't follow your logic. The legislation is designed to minimize the negative effects of social media on teens. This can be measured and compared to states other than Florida. How do 'the needs of the governing politicians' confound that data?
My first job was developing and maintaining a streaming system based on Apache Flink. Thus, it's normal to me that a "full-time opensource developer" can get paid.

Of course, there are some in-house tasks. But still, I spent a lot of time participating in the upstream community and became a committer after about one year's contribution.

That said, after I changed my job, my engagement decreased considerably. But my following jobs are mostly still full-time OSS developers:

* PingCAP for TiDB and TiKV. I wrote its dev guide and built its (new) governance.

* StreamNative for Apache Pulsar.

* Greptime for GreptimeDB.

I'm an ER doc. I work 3 nights a week and see probably 5--10 patients a week who have waited over 3 hours.

The basic answer: most people don't go to the ER for emergencies. That is, they go for something like a rash, cough, or fatigue that they know is not an emergency. Many of them just want work notes, although some are convinced they have a legit emergency.

We scoop up the real emergencies from the waiting room ASAP. Eg, no one in the waiting room is wearing a tourniquet; if they are, it's my job to either fix the bleed or get them to a vascular surgeon ASAP if I can't.

The majority of people who spend hours in the ER waiting room have vastly higher time preference than your or I, and often lower socioeconomic status and higher anxiety as well. Often they can't afford phone service or even a car, so it's hard for them to get places quickly. Others are homeless and want a place to sleep or very anxious and just want to be somewhere with other people in the middle of the night.
This is a hilariously backwards and slightly scary take.

"If you aren't X you can't care about Y or you are a Z." is basically a huge logical fallacy.

Insulting people because they care about things that affect them indirectly but not directly is pathetic and you should feel terrible. We all live in the same world that connects, we actually do have to deal with outer spheres of responsibility eventually.

At 25 the brain is no longer plastic enough to learn self regulation. So if you wait till then to give people the chance to make mistakes you end up with a whole lot of women-children who can't function at all.

Saying that you have to wait to be an adult to make adult decisions is like saying that we shouldn't expose anyone under 3 to language since they can't speak.
I think we can flex this one time.
All this is not wrong. Also, there's another huge factor: frankly, most ER triage systems are not very efficient and they don't hire enough RNs or other front-line workers.

I refuse to work day ER shifts because along with just a couple motivated RNs, I can often clear all the patients from the waiting room at night that have been there for many hours. Often, we just need a break from new patients and we need to work as a team and just focus on getting one patient out at a time. OTOH, day shifts often make me powerless as a doc just because there are so many other bodies around, each with competing agendas and pressures.

Maybe it is your particular needs, but so far I have been very impressed by the Affinity suite. I render from Blender in open exr, place in an AP document which I then place in a AP document. When I update the render, the whole pipeline is updated. This preservation of high dynamic range info would be impossible in the Adobe Suite.

I think that this is possible because under the hood the Affinity Suite uses the same core engine. In contrast, Adobe bought their suite from diverse sources, and interplay between them is clunky at best.

I agree that text preview in AP can be rough, but the output in pdf is as good as that in InDesign.
It's not as if the US government can't do something secretly then declare that it was perfectly legal after they get caught. Just because they don't want to have to go through to trouble of justifying their actions to the public that doesn't mean they must consider their actions inappropriate
The device I have in mind, primarily, is tillitis' TKey. The TKey does not have persistence, and offers a 32-byte secret value that is deterministically unpredictable (Blake2s) depending on hardware + program-binary + user-supplied-secret. Because of this, you will need TOFU, because you can only know its identity at first run, or its unique secret for that matter. (Of course, if you rely on the device+program, you would need to store the identity public key for subsequent connects.)

Do you still see an opening for a MitM if you assume TOFU works? There is authentication, just not on first connect. I'd be interested in your view on what I missed.

The exfiltration is of course a concern. Part of the prototype I'm doing, is looking into how much we can protect against this. (See also feedback I left to tillitis regarding access to the assigned secret, <https://github.com/tillitis/tillitis-key1/issues/186>.)

Concerning rotations, absolutely correct. Consider though that any change of program-binary or user-supplied secret or device brings its own secret. Note that because of the lack of persistence on the device, a client would store a data, even if only for use within the device.

Note that the secret is determined at every execution as the program-binary loads. The device, TKey, itself is a general RiscV processing unit with device-firmware that initializes a little bit of device and memory, takes the program sent to the device, then starts executing at the program-binary's entry-point.

Ehhh I think labeling user input as backpressure, because the software is waiting for _input_, is somewhere between confusing and inaccurate. When I have seen backpressure discussed in my day job, it has always involved a (theoretical or real) slow consumer, and therefore some queue in front of that consumer. I agree that "networking" or not, is irrelevant.

Note that this device is general purpose security device with no persistence. So the requirements were really specific for that reason.
That's a false dichotomy. The internet has and has always had plenty of sites (including social ones) that didn't charge money or spy on users. Just because many website would prefer to exploit their users for profit today, that doesn't mean that the internet can't exist without every website creator stuffing their pockets with cash.

Minor 7: m7, min7 or mi7.

Major 7: M7, Maj7 or Ma7,

Guitar chords are totally whacked. Get a guitarist to help you out with those.

m7 and M7 are a reasonable choice, although min7/Maj7, or mi7/Ma7 are also good too (the pairs should match).

It shows G7 as 12ooo3, which is not how a guitarist would ever play that chord. (32ooo1, or 323oo3 of 353433, in increasing order of difficulty would be correct). Other chords have similar problems. e.g. C7 o3231o should be x3231o).
Thanks for clarifying.

>the government can’t kick every kid off social media because social media is the public square and kicking people out of the public square is wrong.

I think kicking kids off isn't the primary complaint. I think that to enforce kicking kids off requires social media platforms to ID everyone to ensure they aren't kids. That's the chilling effect. Fewer people will post their true feelings (good or bad), which lessens citizen discourse (which IMO is bad).

>They’re not the public square because they are something else: a coherent speech product.

How do you define a coherent speech product and what makes it unable to also be a public square?

I mean, that’s also kind of the point. Something like that on TV that generates worldwide commotion, gets people fired etc, is actually very mild when put near the stuff children can find online.

It’s also more of an abuse on the actors, and might pass unnoticed by young viewers, while a lot of the content on tiktok and YouTube is actively harmful, trying to indoctrinate weird ideas or stimulate inappropriate behaviour. With an audience of other kids and creeps cheering on and competing for likes in the comments. I don’t think it’s possible to overstate how much more dangerous social media is.
Yes, let’s throw probably the most intricate progressive metal composition with over 100 time signature changes at it. I like the ambition! I tried it with “Glory” by John Legend and Common, which is literally 5 chords in C major scale and it stumbled. It identified (most of) the chords correctly but missed a bunch of them and the timing was off. It is pretty impressive anyway.

Ideally yes, in practice… no.

In reality you hit amdahl’s law pretty quickly.
Thanks for the input. See <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39834820> for more details. The device is the TKey, so essentially only 32-byte secret value that is determined at program-load-time. (See more details in other comment.)
The RNG is not really there. There is a true RNG (i.e. source of entropy) but not cryptographically-secure. However, you can use this and other data with the Blake2s (from firmware) or your own hash-functcion, to attempt to approximate randomness. So you essentially need to initialize it yourself and can go wild if you want to.

Good point. Also, discovering exploits is also equivalent to the halting problem. So both things are impossible in the general case.

Great question! One would intuit that the procurement function of a large organization (like one which operates a hydroelectric dam) would be able to see the value of some kind of industrial sensor that minimizes integration costs and provides them with better understanding of operations data, but practically it’s hard enough to coordinate folks to install conduit to route cables! When it requires political capital to get something as simple as cat-5 installed, clear efficiency gains easily fall off the table. It’s sort of like the infrastructure is “set in stone” and built to service the operations of the dam first, and everything else is secondary, as other commenters have suggested.

How do you propose that social media sites verify your age without showing them your ID?
Fwiw I've written some Real C++, think, audio encoders/decoders for voice recognition for 1B MAUs on the server, audio encoder on 2B devices.

Each and every time there was just insane excuses that boiled down to only a few people wanted to write C++ and they found infinite ways to justify not doing things, like all us humans do.

My favorite was the "don't write comments because as soon as you do they're out of date."

Even though this is recognizably trollish tripe at the extreme it was implemented, I still find it hard to ignore that brainworm in my day to day coding.
The general pattern is a fixed set of resources that are consumed/retired at a fixed maximum rate, where the optimal design consistently gets as close to the maximum rate as possible without exceeding the resource limit. There are (at least) two other places in software where backpressure is used, both commonly found in the database world:

Storage I/O scheduling, which unlike the network case is often not interrupt-driven. As you approach the IOPS rate limit for the system due to high priority tasks, the rate of IOPS scheduled for low priority tasks like background write-back in databases is dynamically reduced to maintain headroom for high priority tasks. This is implemented as backpressure on low-priority tasks.

In query processing, a query as a user would understand it can materialize upwards of millions of sub-operations on the same server that can run concurrently given adequate system resources. The number of sub-operations that can be in-flight and retired per second is approximately fixed and shared across all concurrent user queries. For large queries, you incrementally materialize these sub-operations at a rate based on the instantaneous capacity of the system to handle new sub-operations. This is backpressure based on execution slot (and related memory) availability.

Writing software for barrel processors takes this to the extreme. The entire software design principle is to consistently generate fine-grained concurrent threads of execution at runtime that are close to the hardware concurrency limit globally (which is very high) but never exceeds it. Highly optimized code quickly gets pretty weird but it is basically all backpressure mechanics to maintain throughput.
It's very hard to make money as a small, independent hospital with all the healthcare bureaucracy and other requirements. The only way to turn a profit is to merge with other hospital systems and get bigger.

If you want my two cents, you're already right about most of the stuff you had mentioned in your first paragraph. The best problems to solve are the ones that you face personally.

On your ideas, I would remark that job hunting and online dating are both still very underserved problems, and as you mentioned, vastly inefficient. Dating is an interesting scenario - OkCupid was actually doing very well at solving the problem with a high success rate, before they started regressing their algorithm after their acquisition by Match.com. On the other hand, job hunting will always remain an elusive problem.
Partisan bureaucracies are even worse. Imagine the new governor firing most government employees and replacing them with party loyalists. It was called the “spoils system.”
