The true ergonomic solution are slices. Because you don't need boundary checks if you're iterating using the slice count

Thanks! With 3D the main challenge might be visualizing the layers separately. Ideally each of the phases would have some kind of metaball effect and also be transparent and even refract. Will be pretty tough to do and will have to fight with uncanny valley effect.

Sometimes for sandbox I feel like 2D can be more fun because people can target particles they interact with better.

Maybe WebXR will be good for the 3D version.

Self-driving cars would be really cool but it seems like a long way to reach when you could invest that money in public transport and rail. Its not as convenient or sexy but I bet you'd get actual results: people able to... go places without having to drive. Maybe not directly from their door but thats kind of already a solved problem, too. At the risk of perhaps sounding like the "why Dropbox when we have FTP" guy, are SDCs necessary enough to throw this much money at?
Basically the entire developed world has been in trade deficit with China for 2 decades now. The reality, which is slowly dawning on western countries, is that China has secured leverage – economically, financially, and in supply chains – worldwide. But this leverage all exists within the confines of globalization, and globalization is at odds with geopolitical discord, be they hot wars, cold wars, or simply the slow retreat to protectionism (and divestment to other rising powers like India) that US and some western allies are making. The world needs China, but China also needs the status quo to hum along.

Anyone here actually bothered by the speed of the core calculation engine of Google sheets?

I'm bothered by the sluggishness of the UI, but I've never typed '=A1+A2' in a box and found it takes too long to get an answer.

Even if it did, I'd kinda like million row X million column sheets to somehow be server side and my machine simply views a local window, and calculations happen locally if feasible with locally available data, or server side otherwise.
I think it’s also that the V8 garbage collector already has a stupidly high bar when it comes to optimizations that shipping your own even without any consideration to WASM performance would be a step backwards for most languages running on the web.

Type punning with unions was actually forbidden by C89. You were only ever supposed to read the union member which was last written to. This may have been relaxed in C17; I can only find a draft online, but it allows for type punning in unions as long as the member being read is not longer in size than the member last written to.

> The way Photoshop serves its market is quite specific and just casually loading up Photopea now I can see many parts of the app that would trivially frustrate a production workflow. I'm happy to list these for anyone curious.

This did make me curious. What problems did you notice? I know next to nothing about image editing software. However, I always like to understand how someone judges the usefulness of a given thing, assuming he or she has enough background knowledge / experience on a subject.
Why? If you knew 100% someone was guilty, why would you defend them? Isn't the point of the "strong defense" that we haven't established guilt? If someone is guilty, then give them the consequence of the crime, unless you think having some guilty people get away with it (at substantial cost) is in the best public interest?

I understand providing a way to determine guilt and innocence without bias, but if everyone knows someone is guilty, isn't trying them and/or defending them just a waste of resources, with the best outcome being "same as plea bargain" and worst possible outcome being "goes free without punishment, despite having committed crime"?
Imagine being under siege and dropping pitch on someone.

Frontend devs in 2000: "Why can't we do grid layouts?!"

Yes, I'm sure it would be all sunshine and rainbows without the Great Fruit Satan around. The point is the company as it is today probably wouldn't exist.
Performance is less of a concern than binary size. Without WasmGC, you need to ship a compiled garbage collector to the user along with every WASM module written in a GC'd language. That's a lot of wasted bandwidth to duplicate built-in functionality, so avoiding it is a big win! And performance will always be a bit better with a native GC, plus you can share its scheduling with the rest of the browser process.
>>if moisture gets to the steel rods, the reinforced concrete beams crack.

Exactly; and the crucial intermediate step in there is the moisture causing the steel to oxidize, the iron oxide increasing the volume of the rebar, and thus putting the concrete in tension from the inside, and since concrete really sucks in tension (but is great in compression), the concrete cracks.

I'm mystified that iron-based rebar is even still allowed in construction, when fiberglass-based rebar is readily available and proven to work better.
I would add, perverse and pervasive systematic financial and addictive emotional incentives for creating and promoting false information, tribal ideologies vs. independent reasoning, and aggressive social division vs. tolerance, respect and cooperation.
This sounds terribly odd to me as a European guy. We hear a lot of stories with US cops unloading their guns at people they feel are a menace, only to realize later these people were actually unarmed or just holding a phone. But if someone gives them a middle finger then it is all fine and cops should do nothing but lower their eyes !?

In France to give the middle finger to a policeman or soldier or any other state representant would be considered an offense. People would be fined for this, and not even our leftists would contest that.

Not that much. Both of my kids worked as in-person math tutors through high school for extra spending money. They made $10/hour, and that's close to the top-end of what math tutors actually get. Math teaching ability isn't valuable enough to command much in the way of compensation... even though we keep hearing that it's important.
This tool makes total sense to me as-is, but I don't quite understand why it would be more useful to work with STEP files.

As-is, this is a tool I could see myself using when I've already got an STL which I maybe don't have input in (downloaded from printables/thingiverse/etc, or extracted and converted from a source like game files). But if you've got the STEP file, you have far more ability to make modifications to it to make it more compatible with 3d printing, like reducing overhanging bits or adding structures to support the overhangs.
I hope you do not mind if I print this and post nail it to a wall. Several walls. All over the place.-

You need public and political will to have any inquiry, though. I don't think pointing out that there wasn't the political will to have a real Bloody Sunday inquiry more recently than the 38 years it took is the same as the original point which is that inquiries are a stalling tactic to delay (or avoid) trials.
It is a small confined space that you have little control over your ability to escape or open up.

A stairwell you can run up, or out a door. An elevator can get stuck - or just take awhile - and there is nothing you can do about it.

Also an issue with liquid nitrogen, but that usually takes a little longer to sublimate.

Dry ice is one of the few grocery store substances (in many areas) with a similar issue, but at least co2 causes a suffocation reflex we can feel. So less dangerous.
The drawings should exist though - they should have been created and kept. Someone should be in prison if they were destroyed (including via accidental fire - keep backups is important for paper as much as electronic data!) Where drawings don't exist the city should demand they be created.

>> Pretty much every computer that matters works the way you expect it to: the value will overflow, some flag will be set, etc. The compiler couldn't care less though.

And RISC-V drops the hardware flags entirely. I questioned this when I read it, but "carry" is really only useful in asm code for adding and subtracting integers larger than register size, which is not much of a thing these days. None of the flags are accessible from C either so they just dropped them and things seem to be going well!

Sounds like most of what they're doing is related to prompting, chain-of-thought reasoning and similar, on top of a 'vanilla' foundation model. Sounds like something an ambitious student could replicate / improve upon, so given their mission, it'd be cool if they published the exact techniques they're using and their benchmark results.

I've found that at least chatgpt still produces complete nonsense with graduate level material (category theory). It's slightly better than the mLab[0] as a reference. When you try to guide it back onto something meaningful, it just ignores what you told it. In fact, I had a similar experience with programming where I asked it to explain a diff, and when it got it wrong and I told it so, it still just kept repeating the wrong information. Maybe the paid version is better, but the public demo seems like a useless toy to me.

I've found Wikipedia to be an excellent resource for math/physics once you're ~halfway through a math degree to have a good baseline level of knowledge to understand it.

The trouble with math is one of the important goals is to teach people not to produce nonsense and to be able to tell the difference between and argument that sounds good vs. an argument that's sound and good. A nonsense generator (presented as authoritative) is perhaps not the best way to do that. Obviously its abilities could change in the span of a couple years, so it's probably still worthwhile to explore how we would use it if it were useful.

The costs should be on the utility to do the exploring though. They are the ones who via incompetence (likely cost cutting) don't know where their pipes are.
Yeah, I'm really nostalgic for 90s era computer & gaming stuff — turns out, that stuff is pretty expensive right now cause all of us that grew up with it have the disposable income to re-buy it. 30-40 years from now when we're all dying & downsizing? I'm sure that market will crater.
I'd be really curious to see the same benchmark applied to re2j on a native jvm, contrasted with those same optimized chrome internals. 100x is in the right ballpark for just a core algorithmic difference (e.g., worst-case linear instead of exponential but with a big constant factor), VM overhead (excessive boxing, virtual function calls for single-op workloads, ...), or questionable serialization choices masking the benchmarking (getting the data into and out of WASM).
Binaural beats is a phenomenon though, not a company, so no need to pay for anything ;). Of course there will be those creating tracks or generators with their "special sauce" and charging for it. Kinda like selling shell necklaces so you don't have to gather the shells and make one yourself.
$2.5 billion per mile of tunnel, not track, on the SAS project[1].

(This is an outrageous number, but it's not a "true" benchmark for what a mile of subway construction costs in the city: similar crosstown construction in Brooklyn or Queens, which badly need new lines, would be significantly cheaper due to both lower density and the possibility of cut-and-cover instead of tunneling. Plus, no steam pipes in the way.)

Edit: for comparison, the IBX is expected to cost around $400M per mile[2]. Which is also obscenely expensive given how much of the right-of-way exists, but demonstrates that there's no clean apples-to-apples comparison here.

I don't literally think it was "peak humanity", worldwide (to be clear I was just quoting from this post, https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/1dbsgnc/90s_...) Yes, there were still wars and genocides.

But, as it relates to the article here, the other part of the title, "Enough tech to make life easy, not enough to become life" is very relevant, and that's the negative change I feel like a lot of us who remember the 90s well can identify with.

I just hope that PostgreSQL becomes able to do something as conveniently (keyword, "conveniently") as this within my lifetime:

CREATE TABLE permission_overrides (
-- (...)

granted_by_user_id BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES users (id),
granted_to_user_id BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES users (id),

-- Ensure both users belong to the same tenant.
CHECK (DEREFERENCE(granted_by_user_id).tenant_id = DEREFERENCE(granted_to_user_id).tenant_id)
);

(Or whatever similarly-convenient variation we want to bikeshed about.)

I understand there are performance implications[1] with such a thing, but being able to prevent invalid data from even existing in the database is one of the main reasons I use a database instead of some dumb store, because I don't want to have weird data the moment the application has a major change (or worse, a rewrite).

[1]: That specific example looks like it would be slow as hell unless that table is mostly append-only. (EDIT: And also that the referenced rows don't change too much.)
That code does not violate the aliasing rules in any case.

The two functions you wrote are not the same; the first re-reads *x which may return a different value than 2 if *x was modified in between the first and third lines of the function by another thread (or hardware). However, since x is not marked volatile, the compiler will usually optimize the first function to behave the same as the second.

Even if what you're saying is true (and I grew up with dudes like you're describing) it's extremely important that those folks get due process. If we (the non-criminals) don't hold up the ideals of civilization then we lose the right to perform "justice" on these offenders, eh? I've heard dudes say, "the cops are just another gang", due process is how we make that not true.

Further, a lot of the people who can't control themselves are /also/ victims: lead in the water and air, moms who took drugs during pregnancy (the most out-of-control kid I knew back in the day was a "crack baby", he was neurologically damaged before he was born.)

Whippings and forced farm labor (you realize you're describing slavery?) are not a solution to criminality.
Reminds me of the guy (Ken Fritz) who built a $1M listening room that his kids sold for (essentially) parts after he died.

Isn't the point of pre-tensioning is not the actual tension on the reinforcement, but the pre-loading of the concrete - so it needs to happen everywhere in the volume of the concrete, not just next to the reinforcement?
