When sawstop engages it destroys the blade and ruins the stop cartridge. So you need a new cartridge and a new blade, which is better than a finger but not cost free. Wet (damp) wood, aluminum, and any other material that is a bit conductive can trigger the sawstop. However sawstop has a bypass mode, which allows you to cut conductive items (and your finger).

This article is pretty aggressive with this statement “ Woodworking has been a nearly lifelong passion for Noffsinger, and he was no stranger to power tools. Back before his accident, he'd seen a demonstration of a new and much safer type of table saw at a local woodworking store. Marketed under the name SawStop, it was designed to stop and retract the spinning blade within a few milliseconds of making contact with flesh — fast enough to turn a potentially life-changing injury into little more than a scratch. Noffsinger's table saw wasn't equipped with the high-tech safety feature because manufacturers aren't required to include it.”

Actually his saw wasn’t equipped with sawstop because he chose not to equip it. He knew of its existence, it’s readily available (online and also at Lee valley tools), but he chose not to get the safety device and somehow that’s the manufacturers fault? Cmon man.
This same jerk will be the guy who buys the thing, turns on bypass mode, cuts his finger off and sues the manufacturer.

We don’t need safety devices mandated on personal table saws. Maybe osha should require saws on jobsites to be retrofitted with saw stop to protect workers, but it is most certainly not the manufacturers fault if you cut off your thumb. I suppose chain saws and motorcycles should just be straight illegal then ?

Dividend taxes are lower than income taxes in the UK. So a person getting paid £100k in wages will end up with £68k after taxes, whereas someone getting paid the same in dividends will end up with around £80k, which is around 17% more than the wage earner.
I think you are missing a step. A lot of people believe AI will advance so much that it will be indistinguishable from the best possible human reasoning. The evolution of LLMs just give us a clue of the speed of improvement of AI. That does not mean that LLMs, which are one form of AI, will become AGI. It is just one path that AI is following. It will probably become a subset of something more advanced.

Yes, but Microsoft really did do the missing integration of Kerberos V5 into the rest of the system (LDAP and the login system). MSFT started this work ("NT5") in 1995, just a bare few years after MIT published the first implementation of Kerberos V5 (though Kerberos IV came half a decade earlier still). That took MSFT ~5 years to complete, and they shipped this as Windows 2000.

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (RIP), completely failed to respond appropriately to that, and Active Directory ate Sun DS's lunch eventually.
You are interpreting this wrongly. It’s not because there is a cost-benefit that the cost for a high benefit can’t be high.

Healthcare budget is not infinite but in most countries, it’s high enough per operation that, for a given individual, it’s virtually infinite.

Insurance companies don’t care about the benefit, they just want the cost to be low, it’s not the same thing.
I'm surprised to read so much controversy, this feels like a textbook example of desirable regulation to me. If the societal cost (injuries, lost wages due to loss of function) meaningfully exceed the implementation cost then it should be done as it will make society/the economy safer and more efficient. Both sides of which should be easy enough to measure. That sawstop would benefit shouldn't enter into the equation.
I have no idea what you're talking about. You just merge the change.

In theory you could pick one of the center biased news outlets listed at All Sides (https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-chart). But in reality, I think you have to consume multiple new sources with different biases to understand a story well. From their FAQ “Does a Center Rating Mean Neutral, Unbiased, and Better?” on the same page:

> Center doesn't mean better! A Center media bias rating does not mean the source is neutral, unbiased, or reasonable, just as Left and Right do not necessarily mean the source is extreme, wrong, or unreasonable. A Center bias rating simply means the source or writer rated does not predictably publish content that tilts toward either end of the political spectrum — conservative or liberal. A media outlet with a Center rating may omit important perspectives, or run individual articles that display bias, while not displaying a predictable bias. Center outlets can be difficult to determine, and there is rarely a perfect Center outlet: some of our outlets rated Center can be better thought of as Center-Left or Center-Right, something we clarify on individual source pages.

> While it may be easy to think that we should only consume media from Center outlets, AllSides believes reading in the Center is not the answer. By reading only Center outlets, we may still encounter bias and omission of important issues and perspectives. For this reason, it is important to consume a balanced news diet across the political spectrum, and to read horizontally across the bias chart.
This is true, it can also fracture the motor mounts and not be noticed, until you are performing a difficult and aggressive cut and the motor mount breaks with a spinning motor attached and your board shoots across the room or into your face.
Compare the difference in effect between having a copyright on iOS and having a patent on "mobile device with a touchscreen display". In one case you can do a comparable amount of work to make a competitor, in the other competition is entirely prohibited.

Also, copyright terms are ridiculous. Historically patents and copyrights were both 14 years.
One thing I don't see mentioned with any of these discussions is that this massively increases the cost of using different kinds of blades on the saw. If you need to use a specialty blade that's a smaller diameter, it requires a matching special size safety cartridge. Dado stack? Another, even more expensive cartridge. I know most people typically have one blade on the saw and never change it or if they do, it's just another of the same size, but for those of us who do regularly swap out blades that aren't the standard 10" x 1/8", these types of regulations add both significant cost and time/frustration.

I'm all for safety and would love for there to be more options for this kind of tech from other saw makers, but I personally don't think regulation is necessarily the right way to do it. Just like there are legitimate cases for removing the blade guard, there are legitimate cases for running without this safety feature, especially one that would require several hundred dollars more investment even if the safety feature is disabled (On SawStop, you physically can't mount a dado stack unless you buy a special dado stack cartridge).

And if SawStop really wanted to improve safety for everyone... well I find it rather telling that they'll only open their patent if the regulation becomes law. Since they're effectively the only ones with the tech, with the regulation passed, buyers instantly have only one option for however long it takes for competitors to come to market with their own (which they'll be hesitant to do based only on a spoken promise by the patent holder). Instant pseudo-monopoly.

> I imagine poetry as an often misanthropic and lonely hobby with virtually zero demand for it’s output. Whether written or spoken. Moreso now there are LLMs.

(1) In any big city in the US, you can easily find poetry workshops/meeting groups. I'm currently in one (Boston), we read each others' poetry and talk about poetry every week. It's absolutely ridiculous to think there is no demand for poetry, poetry is one of the -- if not the -- oldest art forms, I mean yeah there are people who read poetry even in 2024. My generic bookstore still has a poetry section where I pay $$$ to exchange for poetry books. There is even a dedicated poetry book shop in Harvard Sq (i.e. they exclusively sell poetry books) and they pay the same (expensive Boston) rent any other business pays.

(2) LLMs write dogshit poetry. Comparing a "good" poem with a GPT-4 generated poem is like comparing "2001: Space Odyssey" and "The Room". Other than the fact that they're both arguably "movies" the quality difference is extremely obvious to people who are familiar with this art form.

No. We are at the level of holding people accountable for their BEHAVIOR. Something that historically hasn't been done, resulting in a chilling effect on contributions from decent people, especially those from marginalized groups. That's changing.

You can fulminate about trans people all you like in the quiet of your own home, but if you harass or intimidate them in a publicly viewable way, there will be consequences. And when a code of conduct board member for a project approaches you and tells you you need to do better, any response other than "Yes, sir/ma'am/other, I will do better" is grounds for questioning whether you should be permitted to contribute further to the project.
IMHO, yes, but ultimately only you can be the judge!
Back in the day, Intel was great for overclocking because all of their chips could run at significantly higher speeds and voltages than on the tin. This was because they basically just targeted the higher specs, and sold the underperforming silicon as lower-tier products.

Don't know if this counts, but feels directionally similar.
I would assume a mistake, albeit one that raises questions about their QA processes. A static HTML page is hardly going to break their bank.

True enlightenment only comes after upskilling into XEmacs.
I have been associated with four hackerspaces that have SawStop's.

I have seen an average of about one false firing a month--generally moisture but sometimes a jig gets close enough to cause something. I have seen 4 "genuine" firings of which 2 would have been an extremely serious injury. This is over about 8 years--call it 10 years.

So, 4 spaces * 10 years * 12 months * $100 replacement = $48,000 paid in false firings vs 4 life changing injuries over 10 years. That's a pretty good tradeoff.

Professional settings should be way better than a bunch of rank amateurs. Yeah, we all know they aren't because everybody is being shoved to finish as quickly as possible, but proper procedures would minimize the false firings.

Part of the problem with false firing is that SawStop are the only people collecting any data and that's a very small number of incidents relative to the total number of incidents from all table saws. SawStop wants the data bad enough that if you get a "real" firing, SawStop will send you a new brake back when you send them the old one just so they can look at the data.
And I'm not speaking to the fact that you can use wireless headphones with a phone with a 3.5mm jack.

I'm saying that for the objectives Fair set out for themselves, dropping the headphone jack is low-hanging fruit. Its one more piece that fails, it fails as a consequence of normal use (there's no way to baby the headphone jack, or the power jack, in such a way that it doesn't eventually fail from repeated usage. Indeed, they're explicitly rated for number of cycles (typically around 5000 for a headphone jack, which is consistent with daily usage for 3 years, well below their 5 year warranty. By comparison, I'm seeing 20k cycles for a cheap usb-c port, which is a lot more defensible for a 5 year warranty)), and it makes maintaining their IP rating after a repair much harder (doubly so, given that they want users to be able to repair their phones).

All for a feature that, given the price point, won't even be used by the majority of users.

>Battle bots had saws that would drop into the floor without damage, and pop back up even, also without damage, and that was decades ago. That's the right model, not "fuck up the saw".

Might be wrong, but my own amateur reasoning has me believe that a table saw has far more kinetic energy than a battery powered battle bot, and that the SawStop must likely move the saw in microseconds, vs a battle bot which may comparatively have all the time in the world.
He, cool to hear you're doing something like this too! We ended up close, but we also need good spatial relationships, which GPT4V isn't great at, so we're using other OCR system and adding the result to the context.

As an electronics guy the jack is rarely the issue, a TRS jack has spring contacts inside, so wear should not be an issue unless they use the shittiest of connectors or you actually damage the bonding between connector and PCB.

What I never hear with our unprecedented US debt. Currently at 120% of US GDP. Is how much wealth and assets the federal government owns.

Just in land assets -
The Federal government owns 640 million acres of land. Including 47% of all the land in the west. 60% of Alaska is owned.

For example, if an individual owes 120% of their year income. Is it that bad, when that individual owns assets valued at 5-10x that?

Would the US sell off these assets? Probably not. But, it is an option. And they could sell some of these to US citizens or to the states.

But, the Federal government is incredibly asset wealthy in comparison to a simple debt vs GDP ratio.
