Batteries can be improved but are workable. The real hold back is the charging situation. It's why ICE cars are even possible - the petroleum infrastructure needed to fuel millions of cars every day.

Most EVs are charged at home (great!) but any extended trip does require charger access and the situation in the US is quite patchwork except for Superchargers. Also chargers are needed for taxi/rental services and for apartment/condo dwellers who likely won't be able to plug in at home.

China and Europe (to a lesser extent) have made much bigger inroads than the US. I wonder why.

I live in one of those New England towns where everyone piles into the gym at the high school to argue about whether we really need a new fire engine. It’s not clear to me who you think lives here, but from what I can see it’s mostly Irish, Italian, Polish, and Indian. To meet someone whose four grandparents were born here is rare. Something like 30% of the population of Massachusetts was born in another country. Whatever else happened in history to make it this way, it sure wasn’t keeping out immigrants.

Jup, except that a helicopter system does not use independent control. The blade angle is controlled mechanically, each next blade will at the same position have the same angle. This new thing seems like it has independent control of each blade. But I'm not sure what they can do with that that wasn't possibe with a helicopter-like setup.

I think it's unlikely you'll see a helicopter with this tech soon. This runs at 40 rpm. A helicopter main rotor is more like 400 rpm. And getting a blade "misaligned" at speed in a helicopter would immediately tear the whole thing apart.

Express to who?

Who do you express your sincerely-held beliefs to? To your friends and family or do you often get on a soapbox/roof-top/social media platform and just start yelling?

Musk’s been doing the latter, and CEO or not, it comes with consequences that are directly proportional to the size of the megaphone.
I lost my dad just under two years ago.

After a few months, I described my situation as "I'm no longer bleeding, but the wound still hurts if something bumps it."

I notice it getting bumped less now, and it hurts less when it does. It still hurts at times, though.

Note well: I wasn't super close to my dad. This may not apply to someone you were really close to. (For that matter, it may not apply at all - people are different.)

There's a difference between GPS vs A-GPS (Assisted GPS)[0][1].

Since A-GPS uses the cell tower to get the list of satellites in view, the GPS on some cellphones will keep working when cell service is lost but won't start working if cell service is unavailable.

I think this means my Samsung doesn't actually have GPS, since fallback to unassisted GPS has never worked for me (yes, I've tried waiting far longer than 15 minutes).

Maybe you can excuse a mental model that doesn't make the GPS vs A-GPS distinction, since A-GPS is often sold as GPS.

I accidentally did something similar, but there’s a significant cost.

Got tinnitus at 15 and over time my brain filtered out the sound. Unfortunately one of the tones was in the upper vocal range so I then developed trouble understanding people with higher-pitched voices as some syllables would be entirely filtered out.

Second is that I stopped paying attention to sounds that aggravated it. This caused me to gather more damage and I ended up getting additional frequencies that my brain wasn’t filtering out.
It did, multiple times, but was always flagged/downvoted/manually removed.

You don't need to brute force the almanac - why would you?

But it's very much feasible to 'brute force' your initial signal lock by searching for all gold codes at a range of frequency offsets.

And it doesn't take 12.5 minutes to get the ephemerides - the almanac is sent in paginated form which is why it takes so long, the ephemerides are sent more often - they repeat every 30 seconds, and they're enough for a navigation fix.

Although 30 seconds isn't amazing, so cell phones do use their data connection to shortcut that wait.
Looking back at these a decades past gives the same sort of feeling as looking at old computers or iPhones from 2014. It's fun to see how right or wrong the speculation was given our hindsight.

IMHO, the value of IMDb is in its network graph. I spent countless hours navigating films, directors, actors and the like to discover hidden gems.

Open-source may have a similar graph (projects, contributors, sponsors), and could make for a fantastic content/talent discovery mechanism.

Mine started after Covid too. The audiologist did some tests and found I have one ear having a section of frequencies with poor response.

His hypothesis is vascular damage due to Covid restricted blood supply to the hairs in that one part of the ear canal. The brain fills in the discontinuity from the resulting "notch filter" audio response (in Electrical Engineering terminology), and that hallucinated sound is the tinnitus.
Weird to see a country talk about their healthcare workers not being absurdly overpaid.

If you're planning it to have ratings and reviews, a la IMDb, remember that the key difference is there are people at the other end of the ratings. With media productions, the ratings are up against a company wall. With open source projects it's against people volunteering their time.

Seeing how people behave on ratings sites, it's pretty obvious that this can open up developers to abuse and harassment, if it gains popularity and traction.
the groups doing "tech support scams" are different from the ones doing instant message "romance" scams, which are again different from the individuals and groups doing email "Nigerian Prince" scams

But year, part of the reason the "tech support" and "phone upgrade" scams work so well is they're recruiting from literally the same demographic that the actual callcentres hire from. I'm sure some of the people have hard luck stories about being laid off from their original callcentre job or reasons for being desperate to make money fast, but in general I think they're more educated and employable than most of their fellow countrymen.

I think its shorthand but still "accurate"

all of the following are on the same line through the origin.

8+2 1+1 2+8 3+7 4+6 5+5 6+4 7+3

and the set of lines through the origin is double-covered by the output embeddings. which means there are twice as many slices in the output embedding as in the input embedding.

so its not that 1+1 bisector points at 1 and so the sum is 1. it points at 2 because of the double cover.

this double cover is easier to see if you examine step 2.2

| cos(wk(a − b)/2)|(cos(wk(a + b)),sin(wk(a + b)))

and set a=b and then increment around the circle.

when a=b the leading |cos| term is 1 and the vector is roughly cos(2a),sin(2b). now go from a=b= 0 to 2pi and youll see the embedding will loop around twice as it varies from 0 to 4pi

the outside of the circle is labelled twice with 12 at top and bottom. the line through the origin picks this labelling. not the input embedding.

Freshmeat was exceptionally good, with a much better UI than Sourceforge which was also strong back in the day. It was however closed source, so as soon as the assets were purchased by entities not interested in keeping it operational, it died as it happens with closed source products. The current owner is the same that owns SourceForge, which presumably don't want to compete with themselves by reviving it.
http://freshcode.club/ is considered its successor.

I find the use case where you have a system in production but could not possibly use the official Python for that system... unusual?

Double so since Python code (.py) is itself portable, and I would assume that the amount of work to make all the necessary extension be built into your APE vs just using the standard pip/pipenv/poetry/etc to be in favor of the latter.

Not even talking about the maintainability of the resulting system by other people who'd have to learn how to handle building an APE.

> We ran out of IPv4 some time ago, and yet, here we still are.

Yup. Spending money CG-NAT gear:

> I work for a Native American tribe in the PNW. We scrambled to get the reservation reliable internet in the later part of 2019. We managed to cover most of the reservation with wi-max and wifi with a fiber back haul configuration. We are now slowly getting more stable and reliable fiber to the home(FttH) service installed to as many homes as we can, but it is slow process covering the mostly rural landscape doing all the work in house.

> Our tribal network started out IPv6, but soon learned we had to somehow support IPv4 only traffic. It took almost 11 months in order to get a small amount of IPv4 addresses allocated for this use. In fact there were only enough addresses to cover maybe 1% of population. So we were forced to create a very expensive proxy/translation server in order to support this traffic.

> We learned a very expensive lesson. 71% of the IPv4 traffic we were supporting was from ROKU devices. 9% coming from DishNetwork & DirectTV satellite tuners, 11% from HomeSecurity cameras and systems, and remaining 9% we replaced extremely outdated Point of Sale(POS) equipment. So we cut ROKU some slack three years ago by spending a little over $300k just to support their devices.

Exciting times
Let me remind you what you said which I quoted:

> I want to be able to dynamically add and remove objects from the list without any allocations at all. The only way to achieve that is an intrusive linked list design

So with that, let me reply to your most recent comment:

> No, for the use cases I'm thinking of, I really do just want an intrusive linked list. Why would I want to invent a convoluted way to adapt std::vector when an intrusive linked list does exactly what I want?

You said an intrusive linked list is the only way to achieve that design. I'm telling you it's not the only way to implement a zero-allocation linked list.

If an intrusive linked list is exactly what you want then great for you. You haven't clearly articulated exactly why you must have an intrusive linked list. I've given you an alternative. You're rejecting it out-of-hand because you don't want to "invent a convoluted way to adapt" already-existing containers.

> Why would I want to invent a convoluted way...

You only think it's convoluted. I argue that it's not convoluted at all.

There are many reasons you would not always be able to use an intrusive linked list. Intrusive linked lists are... intrusive. They require that you:

- directly modify T (again, might not be possible if you don't own the code for T, eg it comes from a third party library)

- or have T as a member (which also might not be possible, particularly whether T must be created by a factory and how convoluted that factory is)

- or else have capability to inherit from T (which might not be possible, see `final` keyword).

You haven't stated any of these (or any other) reasons. You simply stated that an intrusive linked list is the "only" way to achieve zero-allocation linked lists. Without stating why you must have an intrusive list, I have merely offered another option. If you think using the standard library is convoluted here then I wonder what other data structure concepts you will have trouble understanding and suggest that C++ isn't the right language for you.
It's about Tesla stock being dinged recently for missing expectations. If things go as I expect, Tesla will need to restate or miss their 2nd quarter also. This will move Tesla from being a "tech stock" (value = high multiple of earnings) to a "car stock" (much lower multiples).

This, in turn, impacts Elon's securitization of Twitter. It might also impact his hold on Tesla as well.

Also aligns with overall anti-EV push by big-oil.

The FABLE framework has five dimensions:

(Social) Fragmentation: The tendency towards social fragmentation within the content’s narrative.
Actionability: The potential of action resulting from the content.
Likelihood of Spread: The likelihood of the content’s spread and exposure.
Exploitativeness: The exploitativeness of the content’s intended audience.
Believability: The believability of the content’s information to the audience.

Note that the truth or falsity of the information is not a dimension. It instead focuses on the social fragmentation of the narrative. How is that a "fact" check? "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means."
> Alternate anecdata: Having met people like this the initial incidents are usually to try and right a perceived wrong. Being slighted on a bonus when another employee was over-compensated (from the perspective of the embezzler). An earned sales commission that was unpaid or underpaid. Things like that.

Altnernate anecdata (N=1): One person I knew intimately enough definitely used a perceived wrong as a pretext to start something they had been looking to do already because of other issues.
Great project, thanks for posting it!

It just so happens I've got an RTL-SDR, a GPS receiver that outputs raw pseudoranges, and a signal splitter that lets me put the signal from one antenna into two receivers.

So if you like I can get the pseudoranges out of a commercial GPS receiver, and the raw signal from an RTL-SDR at the same time, which might help you pinpoint your last bit of location inaccuracy.

Would you be interested in that? Or do you consider this project complete?
I encourage you to read the sources but the TLDR as I understand it that seaworthiness requirements vary significantly by the region to which the vessel is registered.
