Definitely agree.

But there’s a fine line between implementing things but the difficulty being understanding long term vision and making sure short term improvements don’t actively work against the ‘ideal’. Kind of hard for newer programmers to get a good sense of system design.
A solution would be to have two passwords, and display a secret security image between them.

User is required to not enter the second password if the wrong security image is displayed.

You can still attack it with a fancy radio transmitter which transmits the security image from the stolen laptop when it's displayed after you've entered the first password to the second laptop.

And a world class propaganda game. Go onto mainstream social media, pick a science fan at random out of the crowd and pick an argument with them about science. The average fan would have you believe that science is just short of perfect.

In a sense it's hard to blame these people, considering what two years of the media machine's full court press of pro-science culture war propaganda during a global pandemic does to a mind of average intelligence.

I mean, I suppose "winning" is important folks, but is losing your soul in the process worth it?
That article says organic seems to do a touch better.

Funny my wife recently bought a lot of stuff at an Amish market which seems to be the T.J. Maxx of food. She got two bags of slightly expired macaroons that I think were intended to be consumed for Passover, for instance. We talked a lot about which foods are good past their sell by dates and which ones aren't.
Exactly; the article more or less obfuscates what the present proof of concept looks like. After opening with this dream of what sounds like an entirely passive system you could just select as a coating on your next Zenni Optical order, It makes no mention of current power requirements or how much space everything else takes up.

Would it fit in a Vision Pro? Is it currently 75 pounds of equipment spread over a test bench? The article is useless on these questions.
One nearest me trying but they are more interested in giving the road and sidewalks to bar owners as an extension of their business. Not walking just a couple tables like you see everywhere. During Covid they let them build pretty large outdoor structures right into the road. Naturally all of the units are owned by a single corporation, which of course is pushing for it.
Sure. But is that inconsistent with anything GP said? If you look at the list[1], I think you'll see that the sites are obviously not all cathedrals by that definition. The Wikipedia article doesn't claim otherwise; it calls them "sacred sites dedicated to the Archangel Michael." In fact, two of them are just islands named after St. Michael. Another is a religious site, but one that is not dedicated to St. Michael—rather it is located on Mt. Carmel which is associated with St. Michael.

Sure, if a decade is "no time".

5 years from concept to prototype, another 5 years to operational and then another 5 years to full capacity.

Starlink was super quick, but it's design started in 2014.

Iterations on existing concepts like telecom or imaging will be quicker, but truly new fields like mining or tourism are at least a decade out before they're using substantial lift capacity.
Microsoft Sculpt Ergo keyboard in standard QWERTY, without the numpad (so the mouse can sit naturally next to it). It has soft laptop keys, the opposite of a mechanical keyboard. Used it for more than a decade and can comfortably type for hours at around 130wpm.

Same thing with airplanes. The landing is much more important than the takeoff.
Apple is often “behind” because it believes that generally, technological advancements are subordinate to product function and user benefit. It generally doesn’t do something just because it’s hip, cool, or trendy. it does something because it believes that something benefits the user.
The (unproven) target cost per kg of a re-usable starship, from even the most conservative source I could find, was under $300/kg[2]. The next cheapest, the Falcon Heavy, is around $2.3k/kg[1]. The cost difference is astronomical, and so low that it becomes viable send less payload and more orbital adjustment fuel, not to mention its (again, unproven) designed to be refueled in orbit. At that price, you could fly multiple refueling flights and still be under the cost of any other life provider.

St. Michael is an Angel, so either has existed since before the Earth was made or if you want the earliest literary reference from the Book of Enoch which dates to around 300 BCE but might have existed in an oral tradition before that. Earth being round dates to around 500 BCE so depending on how old the oral tradition of the angel Michael were around was probably earlier but maybe contemporary.
A cubic mile isn't a widely-used measurement of volume. Everyone knows what a 2-liter of soda looks like.
It’s a pet peeve of mine that so many people believe humans used to die of old age at a young age when it’s obviously untrue just from thinking about our modern day experience. Most people hit at least 60-70 before needing any critical medical care, even if they just eat junk food and watch TV all day. What do they imagine it is about modernity that is doubling our life span? The cable TV? The pre-packaged snack foods?

We need to teach people that averages are generally not a meaningful way to compare things, except in the very rare case of them both being normally distributed and also about the same standard deviation. People are taught to think day to day by comparison of averages and it really harms our ability to reason about basic things in daily life.

Where I live (SF Bay) it is extremely windy all summer, and nearly dead calm all winter except when a big storm comes through. Average wind speeds are about the same year round.
The thing is, it's not petty crime in the situation they described. If they're stealing from (or knowingly buying the stolen property of) a large number of people, that's now a significant illegal operation.

Yes it might not be trivial to prosecute, but we're not actually talking about petty theft done by random individuals where the effort isn't worth it. We're talking about major rings of thieves stealing millions of dollars worth of devices per year.
Yea, when I saw the flap melt I had wrote it off and was waiting for the explosion. The explosion never came and I was awestruck.
Reddit does this to my accounts too. That's not paranoia. Somehow, the only accounts that stick are the ones where I just log out of my old account and don't clear my cookies.

You can see if it happens, because after your first two comments (always exactly two) you can go to your profile page in a logged-out browser and get a 404. This is a standard Reddit shadow-ban.

> Doesn't require disabling SIP

That's very interesting! I've been hesitant to use similar WMs as basically all required disabling SIP. Anyone knows what AeroSpace is doing differently that it can work alongside SIP?

Edit: found this in the README:

> AeroSpace will never require you to disable SIP (System Integrity Protection). For example, yabai requires you to disable SIP to use some of its features. AeroSpace will either find another way (such as emulation of workspaces) or will not implement this feature at all (window transparency and window shadowing are not practical features)
I don't agree. It's a non-existing problem that the media insists us to convince otherwise, just to force us to pay for useless and absurdly expensive monthly services.
Poor people being afraid of other poor people, a classic.
"widely used sugar substitutes in processed foods" - what could go wrong, right
Absolutely. From the article:

Media reports have been instrumental in shaping the narrative around squatting, with stories of 'okupas' sometimes being sensationalised to highlight conflicts and drama.

This is the approach of the class privileged enough to own the media (literally or figuratively): shape, to their favor, the public's opinion & perspective of an issue that affects most people relatively little, if at all, via sensational media.
If this is abuse, I have bad news for you about AMD and their arbitrary restriction of rocm for consumer GPUs.
AutoCAD for Mac lacks feature parity and has been known to break functionality in dwgs in my clients' workflows. Tool pallets get jacked up. IIRC, also problems with dynamic blocks.

Your os is still a gatekeeper. I get the appeal of Apple products and the desire to work on a Mac and the rage of going back to Windows (Your file system uses backlashes? Your mount points use drive letters that can be hard codes into files, making resources unreliable users and devices that aren't mapped perfectly? Your files include a newline and a carriage return just in case you reach for the teletype machine? You did what to your start menu? My laptop battery just dies by default when I close the lid unplugged? The list goes on).

Famously, life is suffering and you suffer differently (maybe less?) by going where your tools are (for CAD in AEC it's still very much Windows).
For a case study, Israel vs eg Egypt.

Though, for Israel that is changing for the worse - less trust in the government and each other.

Aside from performance there's also just more hardware features exposed via Vulkan, as a sibling mentioned if you want to do anything with raytracing for example then you will have to graduate to Vulkan in order to take advantage of hardware acceleration.

> I'm not sure one rocket can launch a geostationary satellite above the Americas and above Europe in the same mission.

Easily. Moving within an orbit is a matter of fine adjustment. For example, any stationkeeping that expands the orbit slightly will cause the satellite to "fall back" over time. Geostationary satellites are the best orbit for this, since every satellite in such an orbit essentially shares it with all others, differing only in position along the orbit.
> People get lucky, then try to rationalize the past with a skill narrative.

This is literally the opposite of the situation put forth in the article. Accidental discoveries are accidental discoveries.

What use does a machine learning model have for a grant? This seems like something that is uniquely useful to humans.
Behind a bank-owned home there's always a tragedy, never a trickery.

Vulkan has advantages over OpenGL even if you don't care about visual fidelity.

- No global state

- You can select which GPU you want to use at runtime

- OpenGL error handling is terrible

- Validation layers!!

- Cool official artwork

- Fantastic documentation

- You can upload data to the GPU asynchronously from a second thread in a sane way

- Fancy GPU features - Mesh shaders, RTX
So does New Shepard. If crossing the Karman line is your definition of re-entry then the Falcon 9 isn’t unique.

What Starship is doing is completely different from what Falcon 9 is doing. Falcon 9 is not the only other sub-orbital booster to propulsively land. Starship isn’t the only other spacecraft to survive hypersonic re-entry. It’s not even unique in being reusable.

Starship and Falcon 9 are incredible achievements. It’s simply not necessary to lie about their capabilities.
Thanks for sharing this acquisition in such detail! How many potential targets did you evaluate to what degree before settling on Pixel? Trying to understand the total duration/effort from "I want to acquire something" to "acquisition completed".
I think it is the indelible human nature, to go the furthest we can because it's there. At first I didn't agree with going to Mars, but if you think of it as the furthest place we know we can land on, and explore, then it makes sense. If we can safely land, and return from Mars, then it makes going even further a possibility.
>> That's perfectly fine as a natural key; its definition is the first CPR number assigned.

I don't know about CPR's, but in the US SSN's get recycled. So two people can have the same "first SSN" assigned.
On a recent trip to Canada, I really noticed the fact every stream and river didn't have any noticeable plastic trash clinging to all the roots and twigs and what not. It was pretty nice, and I quickly got used to not having disposable bags. And now I've got a Super C and Jean Coutu bag in my car.

Please clearly define the meaning of “you” in your simple law.

Literally me? Okay, I don’t own 50% of the market—my company does.

Oh you mean my company? Okay, my company doesn’t own 50% of the market—each of my companies only control 25%.

Oh you mean me and my companies? Okay, well I only own one company and my wife owns the other one.

Oh you mean… I think you get the point…

Now move on to all the other words you used: what defines a “market”? What does “broken” mean here? What does “independent” mean here? I’m sure it’s quite clear to you—that you know it when you see it. I’m also quite sure others have different interpretations.

I agree with the spirit of your comment otherwise, but simple laws rapidly become complex laws because people are complicated and language is flawed.

I’m not a billionaire (technically neither was Elon at the time but that’s besides the point, but I suspect human psychology leads to a non-linear relationship between net work and acceptance of risk. Most billionaires don’t want to become mere millionaires. And people in poverty would likely say it’s easy for someone in the middle class to take risks.

It's not just about performance, I think one of the reasons for moving away from OpenGL is that the High level functions are inconsistent across driver implementations/GPUs. Whats the point of an abstraction layer if you keep having to write GPU/driver specific code. Its better to have a low level driver and a high level library instead.
Google was moving to vector rendering instead of static images for Google Maps, which uses a lot less data, so Apple wanted that. Google in turn wanted a lot more data from Apple about the user making the map requests. Apple didn't want to give Google more user data, and Google would't give Apple the better map product without it.

So Apple pushed ahead with their own maps instead, hoping that they'd be good enough to keep people from wanting Google Maps, which ... didn't pan out. Instead, Apple was forced to allow Google Maps in the app store, since their own maps weren't good enough, and people were complaining. So in the end, Google got the data, since lots of people use Google Maps instead of Apple's maps.

Thanks for explaining it, tbh I hadn’t been paying attention and also don’t know where to find or how to interpret the data you’re talking about. That being said, one key assumption you’re making is that there are no motivated sellers. I don’t have the numbers in front of me but institutions own a lot of GME shares, and likely lent their shares to short sellers. As soon as they sell that significantly improves the situation for the call sellers.
Oh, no!

Anyway.

This makes sense, and explains why there's more Rust game engines than Rust games :)

Rust adds friction to quick prototyping, but OTOH it is particularly good at providing robust, safe library APIs (with machine-checked memory management, lifetimes, sharing across threads, and strong patterns for error handling). It's one of the reasons why Rust applications can easily use so many dependencies.

Rust intentionally makes it difficult to cut corners, and by default enforces all of its best practices around immutability, thread-safety, etc. This is annoying for quickly trying things out for gameplay purposes (central point of the "Leaving Rust gamedev" post), because exploration of gameplay ideas doesn't need bug-free code, it needs to iterate quickly.

But this focus on correctness is the right trade-off when building foundational components and libraries. Applications need to have a stable and reliable platform to build on, and to actually ship they can't have a "prototype-quality" engine.
Perhaps we have yet to discover the real St. Michael's sword, which would, of course, be aligned along a geodesic line.

Ever seen the incredible classic Moonraker? Larger satellites, larger rockets, it's about more at a lower cost. Bigger trucks, bigger ships, bigger lifters.
Great writeup! I learned Vulkan myself so that I could write a scientific data visualization engine (https://datoviz.org/ still quite experimental, will release a newer version soon). I had some knowledge of OpenGL before and learning Vulkan was SO hard. The learning resources weren't that great 5 years ago. I took up the challenge and it was so much fun. It took me months to understand the role of the various dozens of abstractions. In the process I wrote a small wrapper around Vulkan (https://datoviz.org/api/vklite/) to make it a bit less painful to work with (it supports a subset of the features, those that are the most required for scientific visualization purposes).

This is so true! Worked in the past on flight optimization problems and the most obvious solution (fly in a direct trajectory, or almost direct but considering wind) would easily achieve a 10% reduction in fuel usage. Now implementing that would be a nightmare, with so many layers involved and the need for realtime comms between aircraft and ground to keep the solutions in sync and conflict free. Unfortunately reality is always more complicated
