SawStop often breaks the saw itself, not just the blade. There's alot of energy being put into the saw all at once, and I've seen examples where it fractured the mounts of the saw itself when it engaged.

That's of course great, if you're in the business of selling saws, not so great if you're in the business of buying saws.

taking me back to creating fliphide, a utility I wrote in the early '90s. It utilized assembly and INT21, guided by "Undocumented DOS"—a book uncovering the OS's undocumented features. This resource was pivotal for crafting an executable (whether .exe or .com didn't matter) that manipulated file attributes, showcasing the power of accessing deeper OS layers not widely known or used.
Funny, I wish most games gave more options to turn them down. Some newer games are REALLY excessive with it. I encountered one game recently that felt it was necessary (no way to disable) to make the controller vibrate every single time you used the d-pad in the UI.

I don't know the origin, but it means "stripped of everything but the base functionality".

Base model cars with no options are also called "stripper cars". Collector cars that are "fully loaded" with all the options fetch a much higher price.
Readers can always try this technique for themselves. It costs $0.
I just looked they are going from 800 to 10k. The 10k ones are the collectors ones where it is new in box (or at least complete in box). As long as you have the cables, console, and dev card you probably could get in at around 1-2k.

Yes, and they are consumable and replaceable by design, which goes to my point: the blade is not irreparably destroyed by the activation.

The missing teeth need to be replaced and the plate needs to be re-checked for runout, but most carbide-toothed blades are repairable.
We haven’t tried materialize - IIUC materialized is pure kappa. Since we need to correct upstream data errors and forget selective data(GDPR) automatically - we need a lambda system.

Tecton, we evaluated, but decided that the time-travel strategy wasn’t scalable for our needs at the time.

A philosophical difference with tecton is that, we believe the compute primitives (aggregation and enrichment) need to be composable. We don’t have a FeatureSet or a TrainingSet for that reason - we instead have GroupBy and Join.

This enables chaining or composition to handle normalization (think 3NF) / star-schema in the warehouse.

Side benefit is that, non ml use-cases are able to leverage functionality within Chronon.

I like the idea, and other courses seem solid in overview too. However, I'm put off by not being able to download the course. I understand it's my old-man mentality kicking in, but I just have this bug in my mind "what if it goes down", "I wanna watch this offline", "what if dude disappears"..). I also understand why there's no option for that.

I don't know, anyone else have feelings like these in general? I'd have no issue if it was way cheaper, and I'd have no problem if it was somewhat more expensive if I could download. It's a weird feeling like that that ultimately did affect me not purchasing it.

edit: I realized I wouldn't mind it if it was on a big platform like I don't know what would support it, steam? appstore? I know those won't go away and I have stuff there.

That's not a great analogy. There are plenty of alternative treatments for cancer, and speaking of cattle there were actually Mayo Clinic doctors in the early 1900s using raw milk diets to treat serious conditions including cancer.

A more apt comparison here would be vets throwing pharmaceuticals and radiation at cows who ingested metals rather than a more simple solution intervention.

For example: spending to propagate fake news to manipulate elections is not allowed.
Free will and lack of free will is not relevant, I think.

The argument about predetermination is also wrong, because even if something (or everything) is predetermined, they follow certain patterns, e.g. when someone asks a question, someone else may answer it, and when stones fall, they will fall according to the gravity, etc. So, your "intention" is also one of these patterns (possibly an emergent one, but still it is one either way).

(In my opinion, criminals should only be punished if they actually committed the crime (sometimes mistakes can be made, so you should make sure) and are likely to do again and the punishment is sufficient to avoid repeating it, or if it will reverse whatever problem they caused (e.g. if they stole something, to give it back, or someone will steal it back). (In some cases all of these criteria will apply, but not always. Also, revenge does not generally solve it.))
The hobby table saw is the one I have in my basement that I use by my own choice, on my own time. The professional one is the one somebody else pays me to use everyday. They might be identical, that doesn't matter.

I'm going to be the guy that buys for cheap the "professional table saw" that got liquidated in the event that some new safety tech is legally mandated. 100% if I choose to buy it for my personal use, the government doesn't get to say I can't because I might hurt myself.

That said, I've never liked the table saw very much as a tool. The use-case is narrow, and yeah, you have to pay attention and be careful.
I'm reverse-engineering a PlayStation video game that is rather unoptimized and I'm amazed that the game managed to do so much with such horrible game code. That SDK really was fairly forgiving for its time to new, inexperienced developers.

Yet to squeeze out performance out of the in-order, single-issue 33 MHz MIPS CPU you had to be very mindful of low-level details. The 4 KiB instruction cache hates code bloat, the lack of data cache means spilling registers anywhere but onto the 1 KiB of scratchpad memory is costly, yet the god-awful C compilers of the era liked to do both of these things. That's just for the CPU, the rest of the system also has plenty of details you need to pay attention to for performance.

I haven't actually programmed for the console, but the achievements done by talented developers such as Naughty Dogs on this dirt-cheap system are truly impressive. The console might be easy to develop for, but to make it really fly still takes a lot of skill.
Thank you! This matches what I’ve heard, and what I’d expect just from the general geometry of things
Same. As far as I know, though, the black PS1 didn't actually do anything special to enable development, it just allowed Sony to arbitrarily make the devkit incompatible with retail PS1 consoles. It still required a special memory card dongle and boot disc in addition to the special console model for some reason. I seem to recall that someone cracked the boot disc to run on retail consoles without the dongle, and the serial link just needed a level shifter like a MAX232 (though these days you'd probably use a USB UART like CP2102 or FT231).

Zed Channels is one example of such a service. It's free for anyone today, but we intend to begin charging for private use after a beta period of experimentation. Providing server-side compute to power AI features is another monetization scheme we're seeing getting traction.

But I'm with you. I can't see paying-for-shared-editing working. There are too many people using other random editors.

AI? Yeah maybe. I've paid for Copilot. But now they have to fund an AI research team as well.

I really really hope they succeed but I'd probably still bet against them.
Can confirm, I've tripped a sawstop twice. Both times were because of the material, not flesh.

Not to say it isn't good technology, just that - anecdotally - it's more often a $150 mistake than a finger saving feature.
I’m struggling to find evidence of what they’re alleging in news sources. It doesn’t make sense that they can’t just post announcements on Twitter and turn off replies.

> This does not connect with our societal values as an organization.

This feels quite vague and strangely worded. Is it organizational values or societal values, and what are they? All I found on their website is a somewhat generic DEI statement (https://werkenbijgvb.nl/over-gvb/diversiteit-inclusie/). Who decides what those values are for decisions like this? Or is it more like a personal/political decision made by a few employees on a marketing team?
They meant how are they going to fund it long-term.
That's why I argue with people on the internet — to be corrected and learn new things in the process!

Please tell more.
If you think that the inquiry was illegal, you can appeal to court. Good luck.
If it engaged incorrectly, absolutely. If it saved my thumb and I have to buy a new saw as a result, it's hard to imagine a price point where I'd call the outcome not so great.

>I'm not sure if you're sarcastic or not.

That was sarcasm.

>Why not? People were saying the same about Japan? Or you're sarcastic again?

I don't know what people have been saying about Japan. Except they are prognosticating it's decline due to an aging population for a long time. I do believe that this a problem which can be solved by some economic pain and cut backs.

>The social security system has seen massive cutbacks in Germany, Sweden, France, Finland, Italy, Spain, etc in the last 20 years or so precisely because the costs have gone up due to ageing population and mass immigration

In Germany, as a percentage of GDP, it did somewhat rise though.
Absolute welfare spending has doubled over the last 20 years. The only reason it could do this is because the same is true for absolute GDP.

The GDP of Germany did massively rise over the last 20 years, clearly it isn't stagnant. If ever it stops growing, then the social security costs will rapidly outpace GDP growth, but that hasn't happened yet. At least, looking at the numbers, I see no evidence. Well, except for a very worrisome 2023.
I've seen all of the talking points, but a regulation probably is required simply to force liability.

The biggest "excuse" I have seen from the saw manufacturers is that if they put this kind of blade stop on their system that they are now liable for injuries that occur in spite of the blade stop or because of a non-firing blade stop. And that is probably true!

Even if this specific regulation doesn't pass, it's time that the saw manufacturers have to eat the liability from injuries from using these saws to incentivize making them safer.

As for cost, the blade stops are extremely low volume right now, I can easily see the price coming down if the volume is a couple of orders of magnitude larger.
... no? I looked at your build system, and it seems clear that it does not trace command dependencies at runtime, and it also goes through the entire dependency graph on every rebuild - there is no place to integrate a list of changed files from a filesystem watcher.
There's a nice posting bunniestudios.com about how the city of Shenzhen is such a collective for electronics.

There are others. I live in an area with a lot of small companies that build complicated expensive products for small audiences. Want a croissant-baking machine? There's long institutional knowhow here.
I believe you have proved my point that you're speaking of very niche examples. Even Sublime Text won't load a 100GB instantly on a normal machine. And I consider it a very well-made app. While of course there might be apps that will load such files instantly, they are highly optimized for such a task. My point is that Qt is more than enough to replace all those Electron, and other web-based apps, while performing as good or even better than native apps.

At the end of the day, Qt can also be just a wrapper for your highly optimized engine - for example, NotepadNext[1] is using the very performant
Scintilla engine while its UI is written in Qt. From my (unscientific) tests, it's even vastly faster than Sublime Text.

BTW, I'm not saying that rendering and creating your own UI is always a bad idea. Many people do it because it's fun and challenging, or to push the boundaries. That's what Vjekoslav Krajačić is doing with Disk Voyager - writing a file explorer in C from scratch[2][3]. But for many people, that's too much. I believe Qt C++ with QML is the best combo for most people, for most applications.

No, there literally is always a tradeoff, even in human medicine. I was at my doctor's office yesterday because I'm an idiot and injured myself. I asked about the diagnostic advantages of getting an MRI vs an x-ray for the injury (sciatic pain, probably from an injury to my piriformis; don't snowboard on the east coast). The MRI might have provided better diagnostics, but the x-ray (much faster, at lower cost, but at some radiation exposure to me) ruled out the really serious stuff, and the treatment plan was the same regardless. So: Tradeoff. It was, IMO, both financially and ethically better to use the low-resource diagnostic modality instead of tying up the rare and expensive one, even though it gave me a bit of radiation that in an ideal case I wouldn't have had.

Doing it for decades. It works better if you burn the letter. I even jump over the fire. No joke.
Some of why it "lost out" just seems that it was a proprietary technology carefully guarded with a rather low "bus factor". Blue/Green screens and chroma-keying have been "common knowledge" for a long time, with a lot of implementations over decades, but the sodium vapor process was a more closely held secret because it was a competitive advantage. Fewer people knew how to do it. Fewer people had access to do it. Eventually those people passed on or retired and the industry "forgot" how to do it entirely. It may have been "lost" simply because not enough people were allowed to know how it worked or have access to recreating it.

I think there are a lot of analogies here to find related to the software industry, such as the relationships between closed source and open source software.
I recently had to look up what constitutes "common" vs. "rare" and I found the typical threshold to be 5%. You're only at 10% of that so I'd call it very rare.

Imagine you are building a customer support bot for a food delivery app.

The user might say - I need a refund. The bot needs to know contextual information - order details, delivery tracking details etc.

Now you have written a prompt template that needs to be rendered with contextual information. This rendered prompt is what the model will use to decide whether to issue a refund or not.

Before you deploy this prompt to prod, you want to evaluate its performance - instances where it correctly decided to issue or decline a refund.

To evaluate, you can “replay” historical refund requests. The issue is that the information in the context changes with time. You want to instead simulate the value of the context at a historical point in time - or time-travel.

Their plan is to make really elegant team-based shared coding features baked right into the editor - think a mashup of VSCode + Slack, and then charge for that, likely as a monthly subscription. It's not a bad idea if it can increase team velocity but the requirement would be enough people on the team live within it to justify the cost.

I drove Zed for about a month, its very performant and a joy to use, but the lack of a remote development feature is massively prohibitive and I went back to VSCode as a result.
Well, the Apple II had a 280x192 display (53 kpixel), and my current resolution (which is LoDPI!) is 2560x1600 (4 Mpixel). When you phrase it as "in 2024 we can render 76x the pixels with the same speed" it actually sounds rather impressive :)
