Oh yeah, what could go wrong in such mega-project.......

In IT we learnt that mainframes was gem of tech but it's better to build many cheap desktops in cluster... In the aerospace mega-planes are mostly relic of the past because yes their single fly is cheaper but all the rest is much more expensive then using far less big planes. In the naval sector large oil tankers are essentially a relic of the past for similar + environmental reasons. Semi-abandoned office towers and some construction engineers state the same for big buildings https://www.israel21c.org/skyscrapers-are-huge-mistakes-warn... curiously for certain big things, built by the private sector but paid by the public, the private involved disagree...
Wikipedia has a nice overview of how their tech is used:

AFAIK they're realistically about at the same level as Tesla, but they're not using real people as beta testers. So the stuff that's in the wild is more Autopilot and less FSD.

> I think the "reasonable" solution GP is after would be to just allow the land owner to keep the house, if she so desired.

But she already expressed her plans to build something else on the land. Keeping the house would have saddled her with the additional cost of demolishing it and hailing away the debris, which is nontrivial.

So instead, the demolition and debris removal are being handled, which is effectively the same outcome but without her paying the costs.

As a former resident of Russia, I'm not the least bit surprised. The practice of implementing parasitic scripts there began in 2014, and to date has been continued at the level of the largest provider as well as the monopoly owner of international channels (Rostelecom).

Good luck to the believers that someone there will be punished for this. For everyone else, switch to encrypted protocols.

Even though things are more complex in large cities it still generates so much money that it is cheaper per capita then building in low density neighbourhood.

Isnt that because of the price of land?
Each image has "pictured using generative tools" in the caption. I'm glad they are upfront about it not being a true idea of the concept, but I don't understand why New Atlas would use misleading GenAI images to when the Japan News article^1 has an informative graphic. The exaggeration in the text also makes me doubt their interpretation of the source article. It makes a lot of claims about self-driving capabilities and population decline that barely seem supported.

Yeah I was going to write UDP first but then thought it might be a worse analogy because of that.

So what I was trying to say is: Why can't shipping containers be more "automatically" routed over rail? Perhaps fully automatic rail car couplers would be more helpful in general than yet another gadgetbahn?

Can someone put the size of this plane into context? Their test plane was 4 tons, and this one with a 2000km range is 8 tons.

Would this be a small private jet?
Ten years ago, my city decided to repave a stretch of a local street. The contract stipulated that work must begin in April and must be concluded the same year, and the city awarded it to the lowest qualified bidder, a local contractor.

The contractor crews showed up in April, closed the road with detour signs, tore up and removed the previous pavement, and left. All summer and fall a third of the city choked through a residential detour around a road project nobody was working on.

With their deadline so far away, the the contractor was free to chase lucrative summer work elsewhere and returned only in late November to meet their contractual obligation to the city. They hurriedly poured the concrete and left it to cure in freezing winter temps, undermining a good cure and ensuring it'll need to be redone decades sooner than would be otherwise necessary.

For all the sub optimal contract writing, construction work, and traffic inconvenience, there was no news story, no outrage, and no politicians lost their jobs. People are too busy to punish incompetence if things start to work _eventually_, so the incompetent can keep calm and carry on.
My understanding is that Sheets was and remains written in Java. I interpreted "JS-specific coding patterns" to mean that they were writing some of their Java code in a particular way to please the compiler so that it generated more efficient JS.

They also mention that “there are cases where browser APIs are backed by optimized native implementations that are difficult to compete with using Wasm … the team saw nearly a 100 times speedup of regular expression operations when switching from re2j to the RegExp browser API in Chrome” if so how they call RegExp from WasmGC or viceversa? 100 times speedup for native web apis is not something you can ignore, that’s the important lesson here, not everything compiled to wasm will result in a speed again

There are many that would strongly object to this conclusion. I have heard friends describe their inner life as almost entirely verbal, that they "think in words", and are totally unable to relate to anything else.

When we say "communication", I think there is an implication that the goal is communication with others. But there is also value in communication with oneself. To verbalize is to condense ones thoughts into words, and when we hear words they get unpacked and evoke meaning. The resulting feedback loop can be amazing for refining ideas.

It should be no surprise that humans might end up relying on this internal monologue when thinking to the point that they mistake it for thought itself.

> The original Node-RED Dashboard is based on Angular v1, which is no longer maintained. Although small patches have been and will continue to be applied on a "best can do" basis, there will be no major feature upgrades. The lack of ongoing maintenance and updates has the potential to lead to underlying security breakages, a risk we are not comfortable taking. We have recognized the need to innovate and adapt, which is why we are creating a completely new project to replace the existing Node-RED Dashboard.

I'm bilingual, people keep asking me what language I think 'in', and I don't think I think _in_ a language.

For lack of a better way of describing it, I rather think in concepts, sometimes the voice in my head likes to play along by imagining the words representing those concepts, sometimes in English, sometimes in Romanian, but the words are not necessary.

In dev words, I guess I think in structs and then optionally serialize those structs in En/Ro (JSON).
Lambda is still under development, the current version is more all for public feedback and testing if it can make a MVP. I would be seeing into all of that content moderation thing. Just that it will take time... or well a lot to be more precise, mainly because I am the only one working on it. Which is hard... really hard, especially if you use Typescript with Nextjs, or maybe again I just have skill issues.

Considering that unspecified behavior includes whether or not you execute the LHS of a binary operator before the RHS, such a mode would not be very useful.

Even assuming you meant undefined behavior instead of unspecified behavior, it's still not a particularly practical prospect, for you basically prohibit any use of pointers (or memory access in general) whatsoever.

What does that have to do with literally anything?

Stalin was born in Georgia, hid his accent, had the state photographers airbrush his Georgian features (arched nose, chin, and brow) to look more Russian, personally ensured that Georgia was absorbed into Russia, and made Russian the only allowed language in Georgia.

So what? What's your point? You're just trying to distract from the point that matters, which is that the people currently in power in Russia had exactly the same worldview as the people in power in the Soviet Union, which is that "Russia is destined to be great, but the rest of the world is conspiring to bring it down". This applies to Putin, Stalin, and anyone who has any power in Russia.

"but but but stalin was georgian". Fucking ignoramus.
Agree. Ad-based businesses are eating the world. They hoover up data, invade your privacy, and then set up moats around their little fiefdoms (when they aren't selling your data to the other fiefdoms).

And every ad-based business has the same underlying strategy: steal from the finite amount of attention you have and use it to extract your wealth.

Powerpoint's font rendering is horrible. If you care about typography it's a show-stopper. I can tell sth was made in Powerpoint just by looking at the font.

Apple Keynote, otoh, has always been excellent at rendering fonts. The same slide, with a single Arial 80 headline, always looks better in Keynote than Powerpoint. Figma's font rendering is also excellent, which gets me very excited, because Keynote just isn't collaborative.
They also design and make parts. The Nevera is almost as much a research and promotional tool as it is a money maker.
Hmm, this definitely feels contrary to my intuition; it definitely feels like language is how I think, though I'll trust the research here more than my gut feeling, so I'm definitely wrong.

I guess the reason that I think that is because of how much clearer I can think of a problem after I write a somewhat structured paper on it. Maybe it's not the "language" so much as just forcing some structure is what's responsible.
You are right, I should completely move out of Woocommerce and exclusively use Laravel + Filament + LunarPHP or even use hosted Shopify and decouple myself from the tech stack.

Same here. Also bilingual, also never related with people who think in sentences. It's all abstract bytes until it needs to be formatted and output into a specific language.
Monopoly on usage of a name not so much, although how it is implemented (or enforced) has substantial problems too. Companies regularly hijack commonly used words as "property" and/or push their monopolized names to the general vocabulary (e.g. iPhone, iPad, App Store, Googling, Kleenex, Xerox) especially in the USA and then literally police how people can use the words.

Yes, they should lose the "property" if they do so, but in practice they lose it decades too late if even then.

Also trademarks being sellable means that at any moment the product with a trademark can have nothing to do with the original holder, partly defeating the rationale.
> Reading between the lines, the issue here seems to be that the city doesn't keep records of what is underground that can be referred to during the planning process

They keep records of modern infrastructure.

It’s the extremely old infrastructure that is missing records. It’s part archaeology project, with potential missteps creating outages for many people who depend on the infrastructure.
That isn't possible. Does "X / Y" divide by 0? Often the compiler has no way of knowing. Sure code can always check for Y == 0 - but if the programmer has knowledge the compiler doesn't that Y can never be 0 this if statement can needlessly slow down code (CPU branch mispredictions are costly).

There are other places where we can prove that code is safe in most conditions but proving the exception never happens is equivalent to proving the halting problem.
The failure of language to provide for us a way to precisely say what we mean results in consciousness. (Lacan/Slovenian Troika/McGowan/Benjamin etc)
Thanks a lot, that is very interesting! I will check it out in detail.

But currently I will likely proceed with my approach where I do transfer data back and forth between CPU and GPU, so I can make use of the CPU to do all kinds of things. But my initial idea was also to keep it all on the GPU, I will see what works best.

And yes, I also would not recommend WebGPU currently for anything that needs to deploy soon to a wide audience. My project is intended as a long term experiment, so I can live with the limitations for now.
> In what sense is it strongest, strength-to-weight

Weight, size, and cost. The galvanized wire was the clear winner (hairline crack at 300lbs), but also cost significantly more than the acrylic yarn. Would be interesting to revisit this experiment with different densities of the acrylic weave to see where the limits are. We used a very sparse weave, but I could see tripling the weave density raising the weight limit closer to 300 than 225.

Something I’ve observed, and I don’t know of anyone on this forum has this opinion, but when the free market favors businesses, everyone says that’s capitalism and don’t get in the way of the free market, but when the free market favors workers, or a company decides to do something like pay workers more to keep them there’s a response that it’s woke and anti-capitalist. Is there an intellectual / non-emotional reason for this distinction?
For now I don't really tend to focus on that. But I have a bad habit of thinking 5, 10 years in advance. I have planned to add a biding feature in which advertisers will bid, and the highest biders, which would be top 20 biders or maybe more, will need to focus on that part, there ads would be displayed on the site, and of course for good measures, it would be 80% content and 20% ads, like this it's a win-win situation, where advertisers and users both are winning, except me and my company because advertisers will probably find an exploit to this idea. But that's for another month, not this month.
You can do a lot with MongoDB, and maybe it does everything you need but you can do a lot more with a full-fledged RDBMS such as PostgreSQL.

Since MongoDB is so cheap, quick, and easy to get going my team tends to make that the default option. In many cases we've been able to run for years on MongoDB. In other cases, the needs changed such that we need updated DB capabilities and so we migrated that data from MongoDB into PostgreSQL.

That strategy has been working out really well for us.

As far as SQL itself becoming a niche skill, optimized SQL has always been a niche skill, and many data scientists don't have this skill. It seems many applications have that one "killer query" that simply takes too long to execute.
A DBA will be able to optimize that query for you. They may have to create new indices and who-knows-what to optimize the query and almost always they use engine-specific SQL to optimize the query. You need people on-hand who can optimize SQL queries for whatever RDBMS you're using.

Some of this infrastructure in NYC is old enough that there likely isn’t anyone alive who remembers what went there.

Not to mention the fact that NYC is orders of magnitude bigger than a hospital complex. Good luck finding anyone who worked on that exact section decades ago, even if they were still alive.

> Institutional knowledge is an unquantifiable asset, but it's far, far, far from zero. You lose it at your peril.

There is no possible way a city could store their institutional knowledge spanning more than a century within employees.

Institutional knowledge is how they got into this problem, not a solution.

We should do what forms them into successful adults and not worry so much about likely unattainable subjective ideals.

There is much knowledge encoded in the status quo that shouldn't be discarded lightly. Generations of kids have and continue to suffer under misguided ideology.

s/SQL/advanced SQL/ FTFY - SELECT/FROM/WHERE/GROUP BY for int/float/string is not hard or niche.

2c as DBA & researcher: advanced SQL is becoming irrelevant because LLMs are better at writing complex SQL than 99% of the available experts, who routinely botch NULL handling, datatype and index selection, performance optimization, etc. I see no reason why anybody should memorize the arcane syntax of SQL features like sliding window functions, exception handling in stored procedures, etc.

If this seems radical, consider that experts rely on query optimizers and EXPLAIN and people rely on the planner/optimizer for 99+% of queries. That was a radical position in the early 1980s.
