>It’s also possible to land gently, you just need to end your 14th turn with a low altitude and velocity, and then use low thrust in your 15th turn, landing somewhere after 150 seconds. It’s just the theoretical full-thrust-on-landing suicide burn, that takes around 148 seconds, that eludes us.

I expect the fuel-optimal soft landing strategy (ignored because it doesn't fit the exact form of a "suicide burn") would be to play 164.31426784 lbs/second at t=70 seconds, and then replace one of the subsequent 200 lbs/second inputs with 199.99999999 lbs/second.

The earlier you "play" 199.99999999 the better, so just use exhaustive search and select the earliest play that still achieve a soft landing.

But at the start of the article he claims his kids are getting information from wikipedia and youtube videos. Neither of which are generative AI (well i guess it depends which youtube video).

So he bought an encyclopedia to prevent his kids from using generative AI even though they weren't using it in the first place? It makes no sense.

So, if you bought $100K of bitcoin, then 10 years later the value of bitcoin drops by 50% you not only lost $50K you also paid taxes just for possession of the bitcoin? That seems awful. It'd also incentivize a lot of people to get "hacked" and lose their bitcoin.

This pattern has been observed in practice, such as in France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_tax#Capital_flight
My current feelings are that I really like Cargo, but don’t enjoy writing Rust. To be honest, if C++ had its own cargo I don’t think I’d ever reach for anything else.
That's a good point.

A presentation isn't really a written story or even a film. You don't want the people who missed the first few minutes to be "dazed and confused." :-) You don't want to do too much throat clearing (to use the metaphor a former boss used with respect to writing research pieces). But you probably don't want the first few minutes to be too essential to be jumping into the rest of the talk either.
> If you've never had a co-worker or manager interrupt you mid-sentence

I've had plenty of people interrupt me to ask questions while I'm presenting - which I think is generally something to be encouraged.

When I've replied with "That's a very insightful question, we'll get to the answer in a few slides time" I've never had someone insist on continuing the interruption.
Because they wouldn't sell nor meet regulatory requirements in countries like the US. I myself dream of low-tech car, but then again, I do like CarPlay, adaptive AWD, radar, and lane assist a whole bunch.

(I assume you're asking about the US, because there are low-tech options in many other countries.)

If you want a low-tech car, your best bet is to buy an early 2000s model of something that is well-regarded and can continue to be maintained long term (eg. Toyota). There are a lot of Internet resources that cherry-pick these desirable models and years for you.

Does anybody remember mega bailouts of 2008 still? There are so many companies that arguably won't exist without those. And that's only one example, there are massive subsidies, tax breaks, preferences, etc in a ton of industries. I mean, some think it's a good thing, it's helping - ok fine. But each time Musk is mentioned it's "oh he got subsidies" as if it were in any way unique and special. He's playing exactly the same game literally every other company is playing. You hate the game - fine, yoh like the game - fine, but you cannot honestly be ok with the game and single out Musk for playing it by the same rules as others do.

I feel its super clear if you read the story before the movie existed. Also the physics examples, which aren't in the movie, make this clear.

There are two views of the world, in one you have freewill and experience making choices. In the other, you have no free will, and the things you do are set. They are set and you know what they are.

That's why its important that her daughter died of something preventable, so when you find out at the end that it hasn't happen yet, yet she does nothing to stop it even though it is in the future, you are getting a taste of seeing the world in this second way.

Cancer, there is nothing anyone can do, and it throws aside the whole premise.

The acting on seeing things in the future break the premise as well.

The point of the story was that you can't act on the future. If you can see the future you can't change it. It's also why the aliens had no strong reason for coming or leaving. They were always going to come, have the explosion and leave.

Those “huge” tax cuts only cost 100 billion per year according to the NYT[1]. That’s nowhere near the trillion dollars added per year to the debt every year by reallocating the 2009 stimulus by continuing resolution for 15 years in a row and counting[2].

In fact as one can see from the data, the rate of increase slightly moderated during the Trump administration until the pandemic stimulus. Notably there is no corresponding end of pandemic inflection point.

After I added OTel to an open source project I run, I spent a bit of time arguing with someone about telemetry - they kept saying they didn't opt in and that we need to inform our users about it, etc., and I kept saying no, that's not the same type of telemetry. I wonder how common this misconception is.

Wells Fargo fires employees accused of faking keypresses to pretend to work

I went to grad school with a guy w/o arms. Sure, he could write with his feet. It was extraordinarily hard and difficult. Nothing changes the physical facts - we neither have the nerves or fine control in our legs/feet that are present in our hands.

We also build fine motor control in very young childhood; children can't color within the lines (for example) because the nerves just aren't there yet. I would expect someone born without arms to have better fine motor control of their legs than an adult that tries to develop the ability. And it takes them years - 7 or 8 years to get pretty decent control. Even if I had the neuroplasticity of a young child (I surely don't) I wouldn't want to spend years trying to develop that control.

I face this every day on the piano. You distribute motion between fingers, wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder based on the amount of fine control needed. Sure, you can use your shoulder to trill, but it is always going to be very slow and clumsy. finges are best, but you face fatigue, so you usually use wrist rotation to get muscles with more endurance suppling the gross motions, and then fingers for the fine control of dynamics. You can't change this physical reality, at the most you can compensate (e.g. someone with a fused wrist would have to find alternatives).
Yea it's pretty common in the Midwestern owners mindset. They see pain as a motivator and a grit builder. It's what commonly limits the midwest from building advanced tech these days IMO. They simply don't value building a 'better life' and enjoy the power structure as it is.

I think you meant

type Human struct {
Name string
MaybeHasCat *Cat
}

As you have written (not making MaybeHasCat a pointer), go will correctly initialize (at least as of go1.20.5) the nested Cat structure and allow for direct assignment.

Having a null pointer exception for a null pointer is a behavior I would expect. Having one for a non-pointer structure would be surprising.
For the case I wrote about, on one side of the plane the ground crew was spraying foam on the wing and engines; everybody had to exit on the other side. FAA wants the entire plane emptied in 90 seconds.

In addition whatever you're carrying could injure you during decent (especially at the end - FAA is OK with people breaking ankles) or worse piece the chute. The crew came by and took everybody's shoes and stowed them in the overheads before they checked our brace positions. They also moved me and two other guys in our 20s into the exit row and ejected the three people already there.

Our cabin could have been full of smoke, or worse (luckily, it was not at all like that) and so do you think they want to try to explain a decision tree to a bunch of panicked passengers?

The PWA block has more nuance than that. PWAs are locked to Safari's engine and Apple interpreted that as potentially against the law. And part of the problem is that some competing web engines allow extremely dangerous APIs in their web platform which Mozilla has considered harmful.

Which isn't to say that Apple isn't playing malicious compliance hard, the entire CTF thing is ridiculous and demonstrates how desperately they do abuse the claim of security when it is actually all about profit... but the PWA thing isn't really part of that.

how much of that is because half of the country is still incredibly poor? broke dudes living in coffin apartments and poor rural villagers don't emit a lot of carbon. kinda like their meme about the dude in an apartment who just has a mattress and a PS5 causes less waste, etc.

OTel is very easy to add.. I've added it to several Go projects. For some frameworks like .NET you can do it automatically. The harder/more annoying part is setting up a viewer/collector like Jaeger. I've done that too but just in memory and it fills up quick.
I only give away the land, not the property on it. I assume in the real world we'd get some financial engineering to holding companies and peppercorn rents and so on - but as with every other tax there is a simply an inflection point where receipts drop to zero (if you tax income at 100%, people will simply stop working).
especially about things related to carbon emmissions?
It's frustrating that there's no published date on this page. I'm just particularly curious as to if this is related to yesterday's SCOTUS opinions or something else. Granted, searching legal decisions is admittedly not a strength of mine, and this might be trivial to some.

A quick search on Wikipedia suggests that a "final judgement" was made in August of last year, but also that it was appealed last year. Is this being posted now because the appeal now over?

> You still end up chasing SIGSEGVs.

and the memory leak part are interesting.

The think is if you do very low level stuff with rust, like embedding programming are interacting a lot with C interfaces (or providing them) this is true without question. Similar if you rewrite some of the low level micro optimized parts of a async scheduler like tokio.

As a PSA the rust type system and borrow checker even helps with unsafe code as it doesn't remove this checks, just gives you additional tools do to stuff which can undermine them, but (the PSA part) at the same time you have to make sure you uphold the rust safety constraints and memory model (which isn't fully specified yet) which can sometimes mean some things which are fine in C are not fine in rust even if you can do them with unsafe code!

But for a lot of the daily work of a lot of rust project you don't really run into segfaults (if you don't do premature micro optimizations or write in a very non rusty stile of using a ton of unnecessary unsafe). Similar memory leakage is limited to stuff like circular Arc/Rc or global collections where you put stuff in but don't remove it. But due to shared long lived ownership (e.g. Rc) being very explicit it happens less often in my experience compared to GCed languages.

Anyway that is if you stay in rust, especially safe rust.

So I'm not surprised that someone who considers Zig as tooling doesn't have this experience as they are likely having a lot of tasks which involve aspects where rusts type system runs into limitations of how it can help you.
Depending on how much discretion Apple is allowed, this might make it possible for anyone to run a free service that allows people to side load their own apps as an app store which would only be slightly less convenient than directly side loading apps.

In the EU, Apple is attempting to superficially comply (I don't think it's really even complying with the letter of the law but I guess it thinks it's worth a shot) while keeping the ability to unilaterally block apps from third party stores, but that will likely get rejected by regulators, and it might end up being forced to allow anyone to operate an app store and having to give up any control over apps distributed that way.

I haven't read the text of the Japanese lawbyet, however, so I'm not sure how much control apple will be able to exercise over third party app stores in Japan.

I guess from the perspective of user control of devices it would be better if you could at least just enter a URL for an arbitrary self hosted "app store" and that seems unlikely since the laws are coming more from the perspective of antitrust law, but it still may be able to get closer to that.
Never thought about it like that before.

This is (possibly) a GPT-4 level dense model with an open source license. Nvidia has released models with issues before, but reports on this so far indicate it's a solid contender without any of the hiccups of previous releases.

A 340B model should require around 700GB vram or ram to run inference. To train or finetune, you're looking at almost double, which is probably why Nvidia recommends 2xA100 nodes with 1.28TB vram.

Jensen Huang is the king of AI summer.
The nature of the bug is that it has trouble finding when the lander has touched the surface. You need to have an altitude of less than zero for around 0.05 seconds for the game to notice that you've landed. If your thrust during that time is 200 or 199, to have an altitude < 0 for that long, then you need to have a speed greater than 1 MPH when your altitude is zero.

Even when the bug is fixed, the code is still only approximating the lowest point. Also, even when it detects that you've landed, now it needs to compute the time when you land, i.e. when the altitude is zero, not velocity. It also uses an approximation for that.

So the times will be a little off. If you're burning 200 or 199 during that last time step, you have a high acceleration so even a small amount of time turns into a large amount of velocity. Instead, if you're burning say 10 lbs/sec, then being off by say 0.08 sec won't change your velocity much.

I didn't overlook it, I just didn't implement it (a subtly different thing). It's mentioned in the README as a "TODO".

Doing this cross-platform isn't so easy, because once you go beyond the basic traditional Unix permission bits, different systems have all sorts of different stuff. You should see what illumos ls outputs.

Given that all of this is fairly rarely used on the types of machines that "elles" (or "lsd", "eza", etc.) is typically run – desktop machines, rather than servers, and that it's quite some effort to implement it well, it's not a huge priority. But I'll probably get around to it eventually.
