D Type hydrapulper is an ideal equipment for the papermaking industry to continuously or intermittently crush pulp boards, broken paper and waste paper. Leizhan Company can produce paper and pulp machines of various specifications.
The Vaux rotor of the D type hydrapulper is offset from the center position, which makes the contact between the paper material and the rotor faster and more frequent. The slurry always moves towards the center, and the height of the pulp level in the center is increased. At the same time, the number of impacts of the pulp on the impeller is increased, and the pulp dispersing ability is improved.
D Type hydrapulper is a pulping equipment widely used in the paper industry. If you want to know more detailed information and product quotations about paper pulping machines, please send us an email for consultation. Our email address: wastepapermachine@gmail.com
I take your point, but people certainly do complain about performance and download sizes, they just do it indirectly by describing the side effects. Only recently my partner asked me why her laptop got so hot. An iPhone user I know said they hate it when their phone got "screen freeze", in other words when it became unresponsive. They didn't describe it in terms of performance or app size, even though those are the underlying problems. Anyone trying to download a large app on a phone with poor signal will get frustrated, and people who live in areas with unreliable internet experience third daily. People on low incomes or living in developing nations can often only use older devices which get clogged up with large, slow apps and become frustrating to use.

If you feel that people don't care about performance and download size, you may be asking the wrong people the wrong questions.
If you keep your software up to date, every hardware upgrade will feel like a significant improvement. But you're comparing the end of one hardware cycle to the beginning of the next. You regain by upgrading what you previously lost to gradual bloat.
I'll vouch for the above. I haven't purchased an Xbox since the One X.... at least I think it was the One X. I don't know what came after it or which is the most recent, or how many iterations there have been since then. I'm not a big Xbox user but I've owned every one they made up until the One X...

I know exactly which generation of the Playstation is current though, despite only owning one PS3 and used that only casually years ago.

On the one hand, you complain about Jewish students protesting against Israel, but on the other hand, you call the protests antisemitic. The protests are directed against Israel and its war in Gaza, not against Jews, and as you yourself acknowledge, many Jews agree with the protests.

> Hamas was offered a deal that would stop the war. Israel wants its hostages back. They can stop that right away by accepting the deal.

Actually, the sticking point is that Israel refuses to end the war in exchange for a hostage swap. Hamas has been offering a hostage swap since October 2023, but Israel says they'll only accept a short-term truce (of a few weeks), after which they'll continue the war.

> Israel offered a full Palestinian state before

Not really. Israel has always demanded a high degree of control over any possible Palestinian state, such as control over the state's borders, the right to station the IDF inside the Palestinian state, the right to veto any foreign alliances Palestine might enter into, and control over resources such as water and the electromagnetic spectrum. Israel additionally demands that the state be fully demilitarized, and demands important parts of the territory that the Palestinians claim, such as East Jerusalem, settlements in the West Bank and the Jordan River Valley. All this adds up to much less than a real, sovereign state. In fact, Israeli Prime Minister Rabin, who is remembered as the guy who pushed for the two-state solution in Israel, himself said that the Palestinians would only get an "entity," not a "state."
Nothing wrong with plain js. Now with Web Components, View Transition API, and Plain old Event + addEventHandler() you can do a lot.

You may want to consider HTMx and its hx-boost which is akin to Turbolinks if you've ever used that.

The addition of Hooks, HOC, Redux, etc. are for large teams, complex apps and/or varying skill levels.

Keep in mind plain js means no enforcement of standard patterns. This may cause problems with onboarding new devs and/or keeping the app manageable as complexity grows.

Also React and plain js are not mutually exclusive.

I also started around 2007ish, MooTools, jQuery, Backbone, Ember, Angular JS, Angular, React and now Nextjs. But for basic projects I usually start with plain js.
The entirety of a human's experience is the “prompt”. Current LLMs rely on the analog of instinct (pre-context in-built training) a lot more than humans for their behavior because they have itty bitty tiny context windows, but humans have really big context windows for in-context learning.
You can have efficient web apps running on the cloud, it's just a server after all. The issue lies with developers developing on machines their users can't afford and not caring about performance and efficient code.
Although I like the article, I don't agree with the following statement in front-end:

> People rarely pick “the best tool for the job”. They say that. But what they mean is “the tool I’m familiar with the most”.

Front-end developers are the most eager to pick up any new (or hyped up) technology. Going from webpack to vite, going from npm to yarn, going from node to deno. Plus, I work with React developers, and most would also experiment with svelte etc.

They absolutely love to learn and use new technology. At least that's my experience.

But VR headsets are as much as an escape as drugs are and that's not an exit, but more like a trap. As in: you are not entrapped within it, without actually improving anything in your life.
Funny you'd say that, that's exactly the conclusion (the housing market, i.e. investment opportunities, being the cause of the housing crisis, i.e. lack of affordability) in this video essay from Philosophy Tube 5 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qihG6AGjkRk
> Even the decision to go down a sci­ence track at school, when the human­it­ies turn out to be your bag, can mangle a life.

'Mangling a life' is shooting way over the top.

Is having to deal with going down a school track that didn't turn out to be your bag what you can justify calling a mangled life? Isn't that just what we call life? The issue is that we'll almost always be able to find issues in our decisions in hindsight, if we really look for them. Even a ten million dollar exit can feel like a failure if you were shooting for a hundred.

If we forego using bombastic words for things that they shouldn't be applied to, the hollowness of the premise is revealed, and the illusion crumbles:

> Even the decision to go down a sci­ence track at school, when the human­it­ies turn out to be your bag, can have a negative effect on your life.

Programming is just one of hundreds of professions. Even engineering comprises of at least a dozen disciplines, e.g. civil, mechanical, chemical, electrical, industrial.

Perhaps you should look at what things that interest you, e.g. construction, biology, business, etc. In many parts of the world, trades people are very much in demand.

The analytical, creative, reasoning skills that programmers employ can be applied in almost every other field.
It means getting the nucleus to absorb a certain energy above its ground state. Since it is a quantum object, it can only absorb/emit energy in very specific amounts at once (“quanta”).

The details of how the nucleus manifests that extra energy are complicated, but you can imagine it as like, picking up a certain vibrational frequency.

LLMs and SQL
Why is there no opensource or closed source solution as on today for a LLMs performing Data Analysis on Large databases. I mean complex schemas and with more than 100 tables. Essentially to replace data analysts.Is it really that difficult. While everyone in interested in finetuning, RAG and Agents, no one is serious about using LLMs for data analysis on a large scale. For starters, one can try using the Microsoft Contoso BI demo Dataset. Even GPT4 fails miserably to answer the simplest Analysis questions.
Now I'm even more concerned for the future of Flutter.
And with growing rumblings of people wanting to be “offline” more and more, promotions of “digital well-being/health”, and GenZ and GenAlphas’ increasing appetite with tactile, physical objects (with 90s/early 00s flair), I don’t see how “stick a screen to your face even closer and live completely digitally” is going to do well.

Not until there is an absolute killer app/use case for VR Software. Games that allow for player movement based on thought-input? Social hangouts that are seamless but also private (the groupchat cannot be spoken aloud!)?

We need better hardware too. Seamless AR/VR transition with featherweight hardware that does not induce motion sickness if put on or calibrated incorrectly all for $999.

Yeah we got a LONG way to go.

A bit of a tangent but as much as “the children” are terminally online, I get the feeling the GenX/Millennial product people have a slight misread on what that looks like.

Reputation of the company behind is rather important for me. I run the most important stuff on my .de domains. They are cheap and i can bang at someones door in the worst case, since the owners of it can be made responsible.
Well done! I've studied with people in their 60s who decided they wanted to expand their knowledge or change domain, very inspiring.

Recently, I also decided to improve my knowledge and went on doing 2 more masters in UX/UI and design, as I felt I was lacking those "softer" skills. I was surrounded by 20 year olds but it didn't matter and by the end I feel this choice was as natural as any other I took before.

I'm not in my 50s yet but I still hope I will do like you did :D

(although I'm quite done with writing papers/theses, so maybe not yet another master :P)

American Airlines's policy, like most airlines, is that children above the age of 2 require their own seat.

It used to be called AdoptOpenJDK, and was a project that essentially just provided prebuilt binaries of OpenJDK.

But post several Oracle changes that I admittedly have not kept up with, they have grown in scope and also been forced to remove OpenJDK from their name. They went with Adoptium, to keep the Adopt part that got them famous.
It seems like more should change than just the shape. I'd wager that a slower car with more power may be less likely to get stuck in ruts. But it seems that the power and speed don't vary, just (barely, after a few generations) the shape.

Edit, I scrolled down and it covers the genome:

• Shape (8 genes, 1 per vertex)

• Wheel size (2 genes, 1 per wheel)

• Wheel position (2 genes, 1 per wheel)

• Wheel density (2 genes, 1 per wheel) darker wheels mean denser wheels

• Chassis density (1 gene) darker body means denser chassis

It basically lands on a two-wheeled medium-bodied shape and doesn't seem to make much progress after that. Power and speed would be interesting variations.
Nice! Would there be a way to do that streaming, with streaming voice input too?
Interesting! I checked out what the RNLI had to say at https://rnli.org/safety/lifejackets and that page only mentions lifejackets along with gas.

However, if you "Download our lifejackets and buoyancy aids guide as a PDF (3.48MB)" at https://rnli.org/-/media/rnli/downloads/1983319_choose_it_we... you'll read "Children’s lifejackets may rely on foam, air and foam, or CO2 only to provide buoyancy" and "Air and foam or CO2 lifejackets meet the requirements of a level 150 lifejacket and are suitable for offshore use. Normally, foam lifejackets provide level 100 buoyancy
and are suitable for inshore use."

A further search of the RNLI site finds https://rnli.org/magazine/magazine-featured-list/2018/june/t... with "The foam-based Beaufort lifejacket [of the 1970s] upped the buoyancy level, allowing a crew member to also support the person being rescued." but by the 1990s "The bulkier gear of all-weather lifeboat crews meant they needed a more compact lifejacket, which inflated automatically on hitting the water using a built-in gas canister."

Since I learned my small watercraft skills in the warm waters of Florida, instead of chilly UK, I can see how that would make a difference.
Yeah, that. Are the pitches public and is there anyone who can openly explain why these have been accepted? I guess the answer is ‘we invest in people, not ideas’ but the quality of these has been dramatically bad (I think my 5% useful is pretty optimistic) so I feel I am missing something.
I feel like I wouldn't want the Apple Vision Pro until they open up the OS; it is way too restricted right now, like iPad OS. Is this a reasonable concern?
I dont want to argue semantics, but a broad statement like this implies that all units sold are still in service.

These things follow a curve, for laptops theres steep drop offs at 3, 5 and 8 years.

98% of 3 year old devices

60% of 5 year old devices

5% of 8y old devices.

So you’d need to apply a sliding scale.

Macbooks feel pretty ubiquitous, you cant use the entire 33y run of Macbooks to imply that the demographic is an order of magnitude more than what the parent implied.
>their most relevant property is how much immediate power they can output and for how long.

You listed two properties there.

Only one of these two properties is present in a figure that is solitarily presented as "10,000 megawatts."

We can tell this because only one property is presented.

And because it is a very-clearly ambiguous and singularly-useless instance of a unit that sees frequently-erroneous use, we do not know if this singular figure relates to "how much" or if it relates to "how long."

It probably relates to one of them, I'd suppose.

However... we do know that it cannot relate to both things, as-presented. The singular property presented can't even be extrapolated to relate to both things.
Making software efficiently is more valuable than making more efficient software. Making software inefficiently takes a lot of time and people's time is expensive. A good example of an expensive use of time is optimizing something that doesn't really need optimizing. I know a lot of people go OCD on this stuff and I've been there and done that myself. But it mostly does not matter a lot in terms of value of the software.

Anyone that can't be bothered to update their ten year old laptop because it's slow is also not going to spend a lot on faster software. There's just not a lot of money in optimizing stuff. And if you have a modern laptop, it doesn't really benefit a lot from the type of optimizations you'd do to make things run smooth on a ten year old laptop. Especially when optimizations are simply about turning stuff off that aren't really in the way on the faster laptop. Like having some cheap 3D effects, pretty colors and animations, etc.

Anyway, I'm old enough to know that this is not a new debate. We never lost our way on this front. It was always like this even when computers were several orders of magnitude slower.

I wrote a similar program once. To get it to be efficient I had to use a bunch of heuristics including scrabble scoring words, so it would prefer words with low scrabble scores which were more likely to fit in with other words.
Well, driving is pretty easy and a virtual necessity. You can't drive without a license and you can't learn to drive without doing it. Most people take a class and/or get a learner's permit at a young age. They aren't crazy. If you are a new driver, going fast is scary and you'll avoid it until you have mastered basic driving on slow streets.

The only country I've heard of where getting a basic driver's license is remotely hard is Germany, and it's because of the Autobahn. I forgot the details but I think you have to take a long class and clock a certain number of hours, and pay a couple thousand dollars equivalent. That kind of crap simply is not necessary in 90% of the US which is slow suburban traffic, where people can live for years without even going onto a highway once.
It's not in the abstract, but towards the end of the paper:

I messed around with both CPS and ANF transforms for a while. Here are more approachable treatments of them:

https://matt.might.net/articles/by-example-continuation-passing-style/

https://matt.might.net/articles/a-normalization/

I wasn't sure which one I'd end up using. I suspected CPS would make it easier to do tail-call optimisation, which is very important to me. But once I implemented CPS, I found I could not figure out how to assign a type to the continuation term that CPS introduces. I had no such typing problem with ANF, so that's what I continued with. I haven't tried the tail-call optimisation in ANF yet.
I think in US you can declare yourself bankrupt and start over. The only loan that doesn't work like that is a student loan.
Isn’t that something you agree to when you notarize?
Why would you buy the hardware though? The Meta Quest is cheap already (cheaper than a high end smartphone). And some people buy it of course but it's not really creating a new market of content generation so far. It's too much of a niche market for that.

why and how you choose equipment rental business? how big your business?
As someone running a business in Germany I think you're overestimating it. I have a steuerberater (accountant/tax-advisor) who is also doing my bookkeeping and he takes care of all that. When my UG was young paying him was a few €100s per year overhead. Today (when my company is turning over several €100Ks per year) it's a couple €1000s per year (so relatively negligible expense for my business).

There's still plenty to complain about regarding bureaucracy and red tape but don't let this alone deter you from running a business (especially not a software startup).

Oh, I agree. I included it as an example of an outlier. My overall point is that "sanity test" has a range of meanings, so without knowing what the original goal of the now-named "fast" tests, it's hard to really know if "fast" is indeed a poor substitute name.
It’s just as locked down as the iPad, but more frustrating since there is so much clear potential that won’t be realized until Apple gets the fuck out of the way.

They never will, since they claim ownership over both the platform and every single experience on it. Developers work for them, get paid by them, and do what they are told they are allowed to do.

And it’ll choke this headset to death. They can’t pull the same crap with this platform but they’re going to try.
