There are definitely problems with FC (but then even expensive CADs have problems). One of the biggest problem I think was lack of good learning material. MangoJelly does an excellent work on that.
Hard limits are idiotic, people have things to do, they're doing you a favor spending any time on your assignment. We have soft limits, and it's "this should take around an hour, if it takes much longer please tell us so we can tweak the assignment for the future".
This is true, but only if you have a GPU (/accelerator) comparable in performance to the one backing the service, or at least comparable after accounting for the local benefit. This is an expensive proposition because it will be sitting idle between completions and when you're not coding.

Just be aware that pure step counts are sorta meaningless if you are trying to excersize for health. You generally need to put some stress on the cardiovascular system to start getting benefits. You can do it with the treadmill, but depending on your metabolism and current cardio level, it may not do much for you if you are doing light enough effort to be able to work.

All new networks promise low fees, but as soon as the activity shifts there they don't hold up. I have seen it happen too many times before and is just by design of the fee market.

I don't even think the hurdle is that big, I find a lot of "crypto wallets" nicer to use than many banking apps - main issue imo is the risk to loose funds, which is significant even for technical users.

That's true. Proper ventilation with heat exchangers and all that is a very recent thing and not very widespread. Almost the entire housing stock, offices and other buildings were built without modern ventilation. Instead, buildings got windows with small separately openable sections (1/6 of the opening) known as fortochkas [1] for ventilation. They were a standard element of mass-built commieblocks [2] and it was common to overheat buildings so much that ventilation windows were left open all the time even in the winter. In modern times, when energy has a cost, they are often replaced with the latest well-insulated windows and kept shut to save money, which leads to molding issues due to insufficient ventilation.

Fortunately.[1][2] British Rail tried in the 1950s. Four 12-cylinder Diesel engines driving the the wheels through three differentials and four hydraulic clutches.
The engines were geared such that the speeds added. As speed increased, more engines were turned on. Since startup only used one engine, starting pull was rather low for the engine power installed.

Only one was ever built.

I think quite a few wargames, both computer-based and pre-computer, simulate friction at some level.

The original Prussian Kriegspiel involved opposing players being in different rooms having information conveyed to them by an umpire (must have been a lot of work for the umpire).

The wargames used in the Western approaches to train WWII convoy commanders made players look through slots to restrict what they could see.

Computer wargames like 'Pike and Shot' often won't show you units unless they are visible to your troops. Also your control over units is limited (cavalry will often charge after defeated enemies of their own accord).
I mean that is kinda a result of poor treatment of workers thou? If the railroads hired enough people, didn’t union bust, and keep reducing crew size from 4, to 3, to 2, snd now I think single crew trains? A lot of what makes the job bad would go away.
This is how a lot of MMOs like Eve Online worked. You'd have a person or group of people leading the fight and they could see what was happening and would issue orders. But then it would trickle down to different groups and that friction made combat really interesting. Plus there was always latency between issuing a command and the ship acting on the command that was proportional to how massive the ship was. So you could find yourself out of position and unsupported if you moved out of step, and you always had to rely on someone else for the overarching strategy and target priorities.

For labor laws, I’m not sure that’s as bad idea as your sarcasm might indicate. Perhaps, instead, “a mandatory fine shall be levied of 100% of direct and indirect labor expenses (including benefits, unpaid wages, and court-ordered wages) during each calendar year in which labor violations occurred”. That way there’s a natural cap on it to satisfy the courts, but it’s still large enough that any violations are actually a threat to megacorps.
Most stuff in papers can't be replicated so you can't really trust anything and are forced to see what actually works and is worth building upon. This is very expensive both in time and money.

Actually, it will be far better for consumers than that. I am sure, that pretty much none of those apps have thought about security and privacy implications with this kind of data on the level that Apple has, and is implementing for these features.

In addition, a substantial number of these apps are ad-supported which brings up a lot of issues related to privacy and tracking. In addition, if they are VC funded, under pressure to make money, they may try to sell the data they have.

Consumers are far better with Apple doing this.

>Have you ... worked with artists? To get them to produce technically precise artwork?

Yes. But I work in games, so maybe I was expecting professional artists working on complex assets and not a grab bag from fiverr for some UI art. Anything "simple" probably takes them 2-5 minutes and maybe a few turnarouns while I could maybe take an hour of edits for much worse quality.

>What I'd like to see is tiered licenses. They're being greedy and I refuse to patronize them.

I agree completely. But I know there's no such thing as a smooth migration, especially when working as a team.

It's sad, but they have a lock on the market for a reason and that moral stance won't be without some growing pains or compromises. I'm sure we both know trying to get an artist to migrate tools is much harder than a programmer.
Same. Make the interface exactly like Solidworks. Prioritise nothing else. And it might be a success. The interface and user experience is fricking weird. It's like Coder Art at the moment. But the frustrating thing is the core is in there somewhere beneath the stupid GUI.

Amazon is the third company in California to be hit with fines under this law, joining Sysco and Dollar General, which were fined $318,000 and $1.3 million in October and November, respectively, according to copies of the citations shared with The Post.
You might not be at fault but your work depends on that wrong work, so your work is probably wrong too and readers should be aware of that. If it doesn't depend on it, then don't cite it! People cite the most ridiculous crap, especially in introductions listing common sense background knowledge with a random citation for every fact. That stuff doesn't really affect the paper so it could just be couched in one big "in my opinion" instead.
Mostly labor law, and when violated at a systemic degree by the largest corporations against those who do not make enough money to have influence against the free market. (Gig workers and anyone not making at least 3x minimum wage - that's a good place to start.)

I'd actually prefer that people go to jail over it. I would like executives and middle management to be afraid of violating labor law. If you have 3 employees, I could see ignorance being an excuse. However, these are giant corporations that have the economies of scale for this to be really profitable (and inhibit competition) and the resources to make sure they stay on the right side of the law.
I think the standing desk is definitely a good Idea, from my experience at least. but I think that for a treadmill not to distract you from work you would have to run it at a speed slower than pacing, like when you're walking and have to answer an important call you slow down or stop completely, but that's just my opinion if the treadmill has reasonable return policy you could definitely try it out. ;)
In a world where Meta is releasing actual code and model weights to do amazing things, why does Google/Deepmind still think anyone cares about these kind of fake puff piece blog posts that never lead to anything that anyone can ever use? I mean, at least let people submit inputs and generate outputs if you're not going to release the actual model. When Google does finally release something that people can use, like Gemini, it's absurdly bad compared to OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, etc. despite all the fake benchmarks. I guess I sound super negative, but at this point I treat their announcements about the same as IBM's-- just a bunch of vapor nonsense. It didn't help when their material science paper turned out to be totally fake, either.

Sorry but where do you see this 80% drop? When the price of storage seems close to reaching a plateau (which by the way is also what I assumed in previous comments).

I understand being optimistic, but you claim to know the future while also denying the present... It's ironic.
I just wholeheartedly disagree relative to Arduino. You're telling me I gotta find a microsd card, get their software, either

A) muck around with the boot settings file (though I think recently they can do that in the flasher) or
B) find a mouse, keyboard, monitor

Then, as a beginner who likely doesn't already, learn Linux and beyond that embedded Linux, then learn the languages and environment (the amount of times people have told me their task was to get the project's code started on boot is astounding), networking, drivers, etc etc etc.

You're telling me that's 1000x more approachable than the 1 line of

digitalWrite(BUILTIN_LED, 1); // because Arduino will set the output mode for you I believe

It takes on an Arduino? Which boots immediately every time, no sd card corruption issues, no anything, just runs the code?
This is the sort of low-effort thing that makes people roll their eyes at AI. A simple GPT chatbot? That's it? It's not even some sort of orchestration system akin to Devin and the like, where it can do/process stuff as an independent agent (which, regardless of success rate, is far more complicated)?

There's... nothing impressive about it at all (I guess the impressive part is "man successfully captures media attention, gets everyone talking about him" - that is an actual challenge, and props to him).

It's also a bit rich to think "this is smarter than me, and so it is definitely smarter than some of the politicians out there". It just smacks of someone who has no idea what political work involves, and thinks a chatbot that can recite legal jargon is literally all it takes to be a politician.

"oh this chatbot can recite all the documentation for all these different libraries, it's way smarter than some developers I've seen"
Thanks, that's enough time for me to complain to my MP.

that's a really interesting idea. Many formats representing drawings like SVG and Kicad Schematics are text formats, not binary. They can be diffed, and it's a matter of rendering the diff as part of the drawing, not as text. I wonder if anyone is working on such a thing.

Tesla model 3.

My wife was spending 300$ a month on gas with her commute. Now that costs us 30$ a month. Basically our total cost of ownership is the same, but we upgraded from a Yaris so well worth it in our case.

Works for us because we have a garage and can charge at home. Ours is old so we got FSD back in the day when it was a lot cheaper. FSD has vastly improved over the past 5 years, the car routinely drives 45 minutes to work with zero interventions and the latest update greatly improved park assist. The screen now visualizes all the nearby spots and you just touch the screen to select where you want it to park. Works well for me.

The used ones like CAD25k, worth it my opinion.
> If the citation doesn't materially affect the paper, the author can re-publish it with that removed.

This paper is 22 years old. Some authors have retired. Some are dead.

I really think that at the very least it needs a quick sniff test. Which is boring uninteresting work and with 4,500 citations that will take some effort, but that's why we pay the journals big bucks. Otherwise it's just going to be the academic variant of the Scunthorpe problem.

And/or do something more fine-grained than a binary retraction, such as adding in a clear warning that a citation was retracted and telling readers to double-check that citation specifically.

(I think the whole AI consciousness conversations are speeding up our understanding of the shared nature of the conceptual thought space in which we all reside.)

I feel like we're getting to the point where we're combining the knowledge of geometry, music, art, maths, optics, biology etc. and we're going to be recreating some of the interconnected aspects of the natural world through the digital realm.

Once we do this, I think we're unlocking the possibility of a symbiosis with silicone-based life, where our discoveries work to lighten the path through the void of the unknown.

That would be overwhelming and coarse. You wouldn’t know if an orange or yellow paper actually relies on the retracted citations or it just mentions them in passing, unless you dig through the paper yourself to figure this out yourself, but most people won’t do that.

I think a better method would be for someone to look over each paper that cites a retracted paper, see which parts of it depend on the retracted data, and cut and/or modify those parts (perhaps highlight in red) to show they were invalidated. Then if there’s a lot of or particularly important cut or modified parts, do this for the papers that cite the modified paper, and so on.

This may also be tedious. But you can have people who aren’t the original authors do it (ideally people who like to look for retracted data), and you can pay them full-time for it. Then the researchers who work full-time reading papers and writing new ones can dedicate much less their time questioning the legitimacy of what they read and amending what they’ve written long ago.

The symmetric equivalence between records and signals is one that I seem to have come up with myself (I'm unaware of it being noted elsewhere, though bits of it have been observed, e.g., speech is conversation in space, writing is conversation in time).

Also, Efinix hasn't proven themselves yet. I've been following their titanium line for years. Every year they say they're getting transceivers. And every part that comes out that was supposed to (first the Ti180, now the 375) is missing transceivers. Sidetracking here that I honestly don't know what's wrong with them, they've taped out a handful of these parts since I started using them, but they evidently cannot get high speed serial working.

In the 1970's, I had the honor of working with Bill Hartmann, Bob Strom, Gerard Kuiper, Clark Chapman and Ewen Whittaker, at Tucson's Lunar & Planetary Labs. They used large earthbased telescopes to photograph the moon's surface at many illumination angles and libation angles. The images were captured on glass plates.

They physically projected these images onto a large plaster sphere; in turn, they rephotographed the images from different angles, to remove foreshortening and show the lunar surface as seen from directly above a crater.

One result of this is the Rectified Lunar Atlas -- one of the guiding maps of the Apollo missions:
