This was a really neat dive into GPUI. The discussion about main thread vs background thread was interesting, especially as it relates to choices the rest of the async ecosystem has made.

My father owned a rural feed store until I was 6 or 7 years old (the early 80's.)

Other than incubators full of chicks and ducklings, and bottle feeding young livestock fresh from auction - swiping cow magnets off the shelf to play with was a favorite pass-time. :)

In those days I can't imagine anyone really cared what happened to the magnets after they went into the cow.

Perhaps something happens in the slaughter house to clear out whatever has gotten into the gut and stomachs - for the sake of meat grinding machinery?
At any time there are platforms with 20x more or less speed or space than the average, from tiny embedded processors through PCs and on up to clusters and mainframes. So, to see how a 20x slower computing platform could be you can look at small and power limited device development.

For a lot of traditional industry, there's immense rot at the executive level.

Compare Hyundai and Kia's approach to EVs to the US car majors, and you'll see similar disparities in capability, vision, and technical ability.

The US majors realized they were losing at EVs, and ran a major PR push in the US media that it's the fault of EV technology, as a way to quell investor pullback on their failure to execute well. That sort of strategy will work for a bit, but eventually reality will come back to bite the US car majors. But by then, perhaps they will get Congress to bail them out from foreign competition yet again.
> we have effectively outlawed cheaper vehicles that could probably have worked for a lot of needs.

Some states have done that but many states have not. This would be fine as a state law but it is infringing as a federal law.
No, assumign an already estabilished connection, TCP is just as fast if there's no packet loss, except for the tiny amount of time that the additional TCP stack logic takes on the CPU.

I lived in a rural area growing up and it was not uncommon to come across the cow magnets in fields, sides-of-road, and so on. I think I still have a couple of them stowed away somewhere in my pack-ratty shelves. I recall that they were not very strong magnets.
That was interesting because the author didn't receive a legal takedown notice, and the request came from Valve instead of Nintendo. It's possible nintendo didn't care, and likely that sony cares less than nintendo.
"People" in this case includes Google, which does not sign its zones.
Automattic basically consolidated the messaging aggregator market for $175M - I don't have any data but given they had 40 FTE between the two companies, I would guess not more than $10M in revenue across the two. Anyone understand the business rationale for wanting to own this market?
Agreed. Unfortunately uncommon, but can be done.

There are a few more examples in addition to Target over at https://fossfunders.com. There is a spectrum of approaches, but it's encouraging to see some companies willing to give financial support without necessarily expecting support or services in return.
I mean, its a pretty binary choice. You'd rather have these repairmen (who are laymen at tech) suffer a really crappy workflow just to have a more "pure" solution in an ephemeral point in the future.
They used the account only to announce disruptions - and didn't lock comments/replies.

So obviously on some of those posts you would see replies from people annoyed by specific disruptions.

The weird thing is that you actually need to spend time to find any replies - as most announcements didn't have replies.

And those I found only reached the "sarcastically formed hypothetical question". And still often being on point - e.g. why are there no fallback buses to cover tram/metro disruptions.

Considering all that - it seems "constant hateful messages" is at least a bit exaggerated.
Around 1996 I worked at Walt Disney Feature Animation (Hercules, Tarzan, Mulan, Dinosaur era). I was talked with implementing the Disney multi plane 2D scanning camera in a digital environment, Maya, a 3D modeling and animation package. I was given full specs and it was straightforward. One thing was odd, the 2D coordinate system used 5000,5000 as the origin, I forget what units. No one seemed to be able to explain why. A while later the original mechanical multi plane scanning camera was put on display. Looking at it, it made sense. It used a 4 digit mechanical counter for the position of each axis with a range of [0,9999] so 5000 is approximately the center. Warner Brothers Animation used software called Animo and it had the same origin. I ended up working with an Animo developer at my next job and asked him about it. He said Warner Brothers told them to implement it that way with 5000,5000 as the origin because that’s how they do it at Disney and Disney must have a good reason.
It would probably look like an InfiniteCraft-style model, where conversation possibilities are saved, and new dialogue is computed as needed.

Small, bounded conversations, with problematic lines trimmed over time, striking a balance between possibility and self-contradiction.

I could see it working really well in a Mass Effect-type game.
Total Annihilation (1997) was the predecessor to Supreme Commander (2007), both by Cavedog. Beyond All Reason is pretty much a remake of the former.
European trains will take you from city center to city center with little to no security line.

If you go by air, first you need to leave the city to go to the airport, hand off your luggage to a stranger with the promise it will be reunited with you, go through dense security, wait an hour for your plane to arrive, funnel through a single door, sit in a tiny cramped seat, then wait for the whole plane to exit through a single door, go find your luggage, then find ground transportation to the city center.

Any trip that involves air travel instantly adds 3 hours to the process. More if you are planning to go to the airport during rush hour.
> These are easy

Timing is an issue. I'd say 40% of the time I ever took Caltrain, I missed the Bart connection at Millbrae, adding either 25 minutes to the commute, or adding an additional $15-20 dollars.

Also pricing isn't integrated. While they all take Clipper, funds are not coalesced together. I cannot use clipper cash to pay for a caltrain ride and vice versa.

Clipper is like a crappy Oyster knockoff.
Cool. Show me an implementation in Python
Would be nice to see the same sort of aggressive policing in Brave posts, that are constantly rife with attacks and misinformation.

Aside from that, in this case its pretty obvious you're letting yourself be used as a suppression vehicle by FOSS crazies ramming the flag button. Would have been nice to see a more neutral action being taken instead of choosing a side.
If you want a source-compatible reimplementation for modern systems there's https://github.com/OpenDriver2/PsyCross
I've got logs from hundreds of servers that I use standard tools to look at, and that's a small system. Centralising logs has been a thing for decades.
Then I guess the question really is: do we think (probably less experienced) consumers should be able to buy table saws that can easily accidentally cut their fingers off, in a way that is preventable but too costly?
An easier-to-use driver framework seems like a step in the right direction. It also seems like the list of drivers is still extremely small.

I understand that use as a general purpose OS by non-technical people is a long ways away, but is there a general/mature guide to porting applications from other OSes? How far away are we from being able to easily deploy things like robotics applications on platforms like RPi? For example:

* GStreamer

* ROS

* OpenCV

* custom-built applications in languages like Rust or Java
Competitor's versions of this don't destroy the blade. The reason competition no longer exist is because SawStop sued based on the limb detection, not the blade repositioning tech.

Expect better than SawStop to appear when able, and this issue to go away.
I like this idea, break up and segment demand. We build 55+ communities with rules about who can buy and live there. Why can't we build housing that only available to people with on-site local jobs? Or housing that you can only buy into if you have children (so families can live near other families)?
Not just loss, but permanent damage. A good friend jammed his thumb into a table saw, only lost the "fatty" tip, but there's permanent nerve damage, so increased risk of burn or other future injury. So, that was on the mild end of possibly injury, but still cost a small fortune to fix (still required surgery) plus a lifetime of lost function (albeit only a small loss).
> China has the same problem... they simply made it a priority to build the infrastructure.

If you look at China's HSR map, they have exactly one line that goes into the western half of the country (from Lanzhou to Urumuqi). It only takes 9 hours, only a few stops in between.
A lot of people don't have that option; their employer buys a piece of equipment and tells them to use it.

As much as anything, this is a mandate on worker safety.
I try to stand away from the plane of rotation of the blade.

How?
I understand that it isn't in Apples interest to make a good browser.

So, in other words, complaints about "Google's broeser is too good, it is unfair how fast they are moving!" Therefore ring hollow.

Yes, Apple could compete if they wanted to. There is no anti competitive pressure stopping them.

But Apple simply chooses not to make a good browser, even though they could.
Contrary to the poorly-written title, the subjects did not write a whole academic paper about the provocation.
The amusing irony is that the iconic "Uncle Ike's" sign featured in this article is not attached to the famous pot shop and does not technically refer to it, because that would be illegal: the state initiative legalizing cannabis sales imposed many limits on advertising, including a cap on the number and size of the signs a store may display.

No matter: "Uncle Ike's" owner Ian Eisenberg simply bought a second building on the same corner and launched a non-cannabis-related business using the same brand name. Now he can post as many glowing signs as big as he likes, advertising his (wink-wink-nudge-nudge) liquor store, while the pot shop, with its demurely regulated signage, sits just across the parking lot in the back.
You may think you have 100% probability of event but then simulation glitches and outcome is different.
Another useful model to compare to would be DAC https://github.com/descriptinc/descript-audio-codec

This is the codec that TSAC extended, so it could be a nice comparison to see. I'd also echo Vocos (from sibling comment), it operates on the same Encodec tokens but generally has better reconstruction quality.
Most of the objections in the article (costs, environmental impact of tunneling, eminent domain) could be applied to any major infrastructure project. I'm particularly irked by the concerns about energy use - at 500 km/h, Linear would primarily compete with air travel, so that's where the comparison should be made.

On one hand, if you stop to appease every stakeholder, then you will end up in an eternal quagmire like the California HSR project. On the other hand though, if you make a practice of expedited construction, then you could end up copying the PRC and stomping on anyone that dares to dissent against national prestige projects.
AI actually does the same... learns and adapts
I'm surprised nobody mentioned types or type systems as one of the best solutions for eliminating fear. Out of all the systems that worked on, the ones that were changed fearlessly were stuff written in Haskell and Purescript. That was before Rust became so popular. These systems were changed fearlessly and we had very minimal tests. The code reviews were much easier to perform as you don't tend to check if the code might throw exceptions but you just need to think about business logic.

These days I'd argue that Rust is at the same level of Haskell and Purescript in fearlessness.

Some languages that removes certain fears:

- Kotlin: removes the fear of null exceptions

- Go: removes the fear of forgetting about an error that this function throws

- Languages with ADT (Haskell, Rust ... etc): remove the fear of missing a case

It gets even better when 94% of China's population lives in 43% of the country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heihe%E2%80%93Tengchong_Line

The USA is a bit better, 25% live in the western half (mostly on the west coast though).
Overnight sleeper trains have to have a place in the future West Coast mass transportation. Surely it's a lot cheaper, and maybe even more convenient to do a comfortable overnight trip rather than some high speed rail connection that's still a few hours.
Circular saws are not just "a bit" safer. They cause far fewer injuries despite getting more use in construction. Table saws really are a menace.

I'm not in favor of this regulation because I don't like the idea of the government regulating hobbies, and I think it ends with some tools and hobbies getting banned altogether... but we should make this much clear.
Putting aside the Wolfram Language related content, this is a really interesting introduction to the mechanics of solar eclipses. The notion of a "synodic" vs "draconic" really clears up a lot of my questions about why there are not eclipses during every new moon.

One thing I was wondering from looking at this is whether there is a good map projection that preserves the shape of the "solar disc" (my term) that represents the side of the earth illuminated by the sun, weighted by the solid angle from the view of the sun, so that eclipse paths would look like straight lines of constant width.
Probably on device encryption before anything is sent through their servers

This is before-the-fact censorship has happened here. Before the 2022 elections, these same judges targeting Elon Musk censored a documentary before it was ever published.

Censorship equals dictatorship. It's that simple. Brazil is not a democracy. I want the whole world to know that.

> While I'm confident that an experienced senior engineer could find a solution over a weekend,

What they mean to say is ".. an experienced senior engineer *with my exact skill set* could ..."

Senior engineers vary wildly in their skills. Would you expect a senior engineer with experience with (to pick a similar set) Ansible, Rust and AWS to implement this over the weekend using Golang, Terraform and GCP? Obviously not and, just as obviously, you don't need such a wide difference to quickly bleed from "over a weekend" to "over a week".

These sorts of bizarrely complex and specific code challenges would at least serve to greatly reduce the number of resumes you have to review. So that is one upside. Unfortunately what that selects for is probably not as obvious as it would seem as many of their candidates would spend that full week on the problem and I wouldn't apply for fear of a workplace culture that values their employees time that little.
I use Amtrak on the west coast all the time and for my uses it is cheaper than driving while being roughly the same amount of time. I go between the Bay Area, Portland, and Seattle frequently and Amtrak is my first choice when planning my travel.
Tell us you've never built, sold, bought, or used enterprise software without telling us, etc.etc.
> Most of the building codes were written in blood

I don't know about most, but some were written to make certain types of cheap dwellings illegal because society didn't approve of the people living in them like single-room occupancy dwellings. They're perfectly safe, but lawmakers didn't like the poor people living in them.

Some are also out of date with other solves for the same problem, like NYC's rules around needing 2 staircases for buildings over a certain size. Pretty much everyone agrees its no longer necessary.
Actually I noticed that they have some better models now, still narrative in nature, but much better than before.
And you've been keeping these ways to address trauma from the rest of the world? If people could feel better without forgiving their trespassers don't you think they'd be doing that instead?
Sadness! Wow, this comment thread has been a real emotional roller coaster today.
Almost double official inflation rate.
Probably $9k with pretty good insurance, $17k-$20k with poor insurance (but nb the math on the good insurance probably works out such that you’re paying very close to that difference for sure every single year, in premiums)

Plus tens of hours arguing with provider billing departments and insurance. You’ll pay over what should be your max if you screw any of that up. Time lost and stress and confusion over sorting out new bills still showing up in the mail two full years after treatment was performed.

Also it’ll be a lot worse if you lose your job after.

If you don’t have insurance, you’re getting it patched up at the ER “for free” (you’ll be declaring bankruptcy soon) but not getting most of the follow-up work done. Even if your arm could be made right, it won’t be. Good luck with the nightmare of getting and maintaining disability pay-outs.

Oh and double the out of pocket costs if treatment spans two billing-years.
It’s possible that they were getting DMs that were hateful too.

Good point about turning off replies though, seems like a one-way communication method should meet their requirements if they can set it up that way.

The science is never settled. That's practically the Popperian definition of science, which is pretty much the accepted definition of science. You see this in the context of GR in, e.g., the galaxy rotation problem.
I heard somewhere that the Spanish managed to wow the people they met in the new world with an eclipse.

Is this true? What calculations did they do to figure this out with 16th century math?

So they finally seemed to have come up with their original design after 3 years of selling non-repairable TWS earbuds, great. I genuinely appreciate that they are trying to give users more sustainable options. Perhaps they can walk back the decision to remove the headphone jack as well so that people can use wired headphones directly which doesn't use battery in the first place.
I'm sorry, but that's not an answer. WhatsApp encrypts the message E2E, and then Beeper is bridging it into Matrix. The only way this would make any sense is if they've bridged E2E all the way through to ... the clients? Like, it doesn't make any sense.

Google didn’t have to promote their browser to hell to ensure everyone was using it constantly. Tying is what got us here.

Open Gmail? Why not use Chrome?

Google chat? Tried Chrome?

Search Google? It’s better with Chrome!

Android phone within 1 mile of you? Use Chrome!

Breathing oxygen? Well…

This seems like using one monopoly (search) to create another (browser). Isn’t that exactly what anti-trust laws forbid? Let’s not forget not bothering very hard to make sure their stuff like Google Docs that you may be required to use at work work with other browsers. “Just use Chrome” they say.
I bought a set of AA lithium from Amazon not too long ago, hoping to solve the problem of disposable batteries. They had a micro USB port in the side for recharging and everything.

Sadly, they were crap and stopped working after one charge. More e-waste.
Intuitively, the table saw seems more dangerous to me (and I'm typing this with a finger with three pins in it from a table saw injury) because you're manipulating the circular saw directly, and thus more consciously. With a table saw you're manipulating the workpiece into the blade, which is indirectly a threat--in my case, the wood kicked, knocking my finger into the blade.
Gaudi 3 has PCIe 4.0 (vs. H100 PCIe 5.0, so 2x the bandwidth). Probably not a deal-breaker but it's strange for Intel (of all vendors) to lag behind in PCIe.
