Sure, and there's 100's of thousands of replaced bridges that don't immediately spring to mind.

Though to be clear designed to last 50 years isn't the same as saying it will only last exactly 50 years, or that theirs nothing you can do to extend a bridges lifespan if it's replacement is running a little late.
That's the kind of informed take I was looking for. Thanks.
They are in terms of "most large planes are Boeing so you'll hear about their accidents most often", no idea if also in terms of "terrible safety culture so there'll be an unacceptable rate of accidents".
Mostly to have a hazmat route around the city (HAZMAT trucks aren’t allowed in the tunnels) and because bridges are cheaper than tunnels. They needed a third crossing because the traffic warranted it.

Depends on the bridge. Steel and concrete bridges can last for at least 100 years. But it depends on the environment, its expected use, the construction, design. Some famous major bridges failed early due to poor design or poor construction, but many still fail due to lack of maintenance.

The average age of a bridge in the USA is 43 years. But we also have an epidemic of unmaintained bridges.

No bridge made today is designed to last indefinitely. Many different forces will degrade the bridge over time, even with maintenance. Steel stresses weaken it over time. Concrete weathers over time due to salt, chemicals, water, wind, and the steel reinforcements tend to corrode eventually.

Stone bridges may last for an exceptionally long time, but their weight and expense makes them only useful in limited applications, typically as small rail overpasses. Ones that were designed for horse and buggy end up slowly failing as heavier trucks and cars in traffic weaken them.

The same fate lies for timber bridges. When well maintained they can last for 75 years, but it's expensive and requires certain skills. They were also mostly designed before heavier cars and trucks, and for less traffic. Most famous covered bridges today are being closed to traffic due to increased wear.

> Bids for construction of the proposed Outer Harbor Tunnel were opened in July 1970, but price proposals were substantially higher than the engineering estimates.[11] Officials drafted alternative plans, including a four-lane bridge, which was approved by the General Assembly in April 1971.[12][13]

Then the US would not be able to extradite anyone from a country that requires assurances ever again. Given that the US still has the death penalty for many crimes this would cripple its ability to extradite.
The replacement bridge in Tampa famously added "dolphins" which are bumpers in the water to protect the bridge pylons.
> Probably the general rule is simply, “you get more bugs when expectations don’t match reality”.

That's too vague to be useful. You might as well say "you get bugs when you write wrong code". Whereas framing it as a lack of type safety points towards an actionable solution.
Tunnels are far more expensive - the 1.5 mile 4 lane Fort McHenry tunnel was like $750M vs. $140M for the 1.6 mile 4 lane Key bridge, although adjusted for inflation that’s probably more like $750M vs $320M.

The underlying problem here is that automobiles are inherently inefficient so you either get epic traffic jams or have to massively overbuild capacity, forcing the engineers to deliver as many lanes as they can for the budget.
At the very least hold them accountable for this sort of unnecessary damage.

I'm confused... has the meaning of "invert" changed since I last looked? Because the bar chart given as an example on the page isn't actually inverted (the color of the bars and as far as I can see also the text stay the same, only the background changes from light to dark). So, additionally to this API, you need another model that does the actual "inversion"? Or just good old editing?

EDIT: from another comment - actually "inverting" seems to refer to doing

hue-rotate(180deg) invert()

...which (if I read it correctly) inverts the hue of colored areas before applying the actual inversion in order to keep the colors the same (more or less - see also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65344006/why-does-filter...) ?

Compared to what? Scalar loopy C code sure. The auto vectorization is not great.

But give LLVM some SIMD code as input, and it will be able to optimize it, and it does a great job with register allocation, spill code, instruction scheduling etc.

Instruction selection isn't as great and you still need to use intrinsics for specialized instructions.

And you get all of this for all CPU architectures and will deal with future microarchitecture changes for free. E.g. more execution ports added by Intel will get used with no code changes on your side.

With infinite time you can still do better by hand, but it gets expensive fast, especially if you have several CPU architectures to deal with.

That's the thing, I don't care about doing that this time. I've always been fine putting the most amount of effort I doing it, and it gave me meaning. This time, I don't find any reason anymore for doing that, because whatever comes is simply dehumanizing from my point of view. Beating the averages would be simply to admit defeat, and I don't feel like doing it. I really like the idea of simply saying no to this, and the only way to do that is to "leave the premises".

> I wonder what would happen if the US gave these assurances then broke them ?

The English courts are permitted to take into account whether assurances for previous extraditions have been complied with:

> When considering the adequacy of an assurance in any particular case, the courts should place appropriate weight on any assurance previously obtained in extradition requests from the same requesting country.

http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2016-0191...

...this is of little comfort to Assange, but it does mean that there is an incentive for the country issuing the assurances to comply with them, otherwise their future extradition requests have a greatly increased chance of being denied.

This problem has nothing to do with the police. This problem has something to do with whoever is giving the police the ability to get away with (sometimes literally) murder and not face any consequences even for obvious, blatant misbehavior. Qualified immunity and all that bullshit.

I was trying to find the right words to kindly point this out as a CS guy working in this space, thank you for just cutting to the chase and being blunt.

The proposed solution is also not really a solution in that it still allows for one of the main issues: random people shouldn't be responsible for creating names for things that should have unique IDs. Which is why things like ensembl IDs exist.
I stand corrected. I was familiar with the first option, which coupled the dependencies with the platform, whereas I wanted a CUDA version on Linux and a Metal version on macOS.

However, this works perfectly with Poetry 1.8 and Pytorch 2.2. I suppose the only problem is what PDM also does, where the lock file is platform-dependent. I'm not sure whether Poetry allows you to select a specific lock file, however.

They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

New York City has had two major recent new bridge replacements that probably about 20M people can name: the Mario Cuomo (formerly Tappan Zee) and the Kosciuszko bridge.

I’d argue the Bayonne Bridge raising kinda counts since it was almost a rebuild and more impressive in many ways since it stayed open the whole time.

Meanwhile in the San Francisco Bay Area they replaced the Bay Bridge…
Why does anyone use fragile asphalt (20 years) for busy roads when engineered concrete lasts 50 or more? Because the better option costs more.

This was a big point of contention when a local town announced it was replacing the failing asphalt on the section with the most traffic with slabs of concrete. [0] People complained about the price. Meanwhile, over a decade on, nearby asphalt laid with the same renewal project is already cracking while the busy main thoroughfare remains undisrupted by road work.

It's hard to persuade people that long-term investment is worthwhile.

Ah, but part of the reason for CUDA's success is that the open source developer who wants to run unit tests or profile their kernel can pick up a $200 card. That PhD student with a $2000 budget can pick up a card. Academic lab with $20,000 for a beefy server, or tiny cluster? nvidia will take their money.

And that's all fixed capital expenditure - there's no risk a code bug or typo by an inexperienced student will lead to a huge bill.

Also, if you're looking for an alternative to CUDA because you dislike vendor lock-in, switching to something only available in GCP would be an absurd choice.
The reason forums lost out to Reddit and centralized social media is because the latter is more convenient.

I think it was more like ensuring the capacity to do it was in place. Things like bioreactors aren't overly specialized.

As well as it went, it wasn't overly ambitious. A few billions of dollars probably could have accelerated widespread availability by months (I'm thinking mostly about producing earlier, with the risk that the production would end up as waste if the vaccine didn't prove out).

Regarding the death penalty part: extraditions from Germany (and probably all of Europe) would immediately stop in capital cases. Those all rely on American assurances, and the first time it's broken, courts will disregard them for a long time.

Microsoft Teams is so awful. Between the subpar audio and video quality, and performance issues with basic chat. The experience all around is awful.

It provides an opinion of select engineers of that company, not insights or even general opinion of engineers.

Nevertheless, a vocal group of engineers at my company will always keep all criticism down to a minimum.

Even in this post lots of points are invalid and/or survivorship bias. Scala 3.3 recently introduced a breaking change in their type resolution (fortunately we don't use Scala 3), cats-effect migration is painful and drags on for a long time (years), sbt is slow and hard to understand.
>if you were standing on the floor in that spot and happened to be impacted by the licensing change then you now found yourself hurtling to the ground, time wasted.

I agree with this analysis, but I think the conclusion to draw from it is not that this is an unfair outcome for the poor person standing in that part of the floor, but rather that this is an unfortunate outcome that that person should have considered likely to happen from the outset, and prepared for.
