Something I wasn't aware of until I went shopping there for furniture last year...everything is 3/4 sized.

Maybe everyone just knew this and I was out of the loop, but at least for me as soon as I noticed this, I saw it in everything. In the store it's kind of hard to tell because everything is scaled that 75%, but it's kinda funny when you notice it. Even things like mixing spoons or tea pots are 75% size or 25% less material.

It is really remarkably sucky to process trees without algebraic datatypes and full pattern matching. Most of your options for that are ML progeny, and the rest are mostly Lisps with a pattern-matching macro. While it’s definitely possible to implement, say, unification in C, I wouldn’t want to—and I happen to actually like C.

Given the task is to bootstrap Rust, a Rust subset is a reasonable and pragmatic choice if not literally the only one (Mes, a Lisp, could also work and is already part of the bootstrappable ecosystem).
> This is a rather strong claim not supported by real-world data on how Go’s GC behaves under load

The only thing you linked is an old binary trees benchmark from the benchmarks game, which is not equivalent to the workload in a typical networked service. For that kind of workload, I would not pick Go.

Result of basic allocation micro-benchmark for 64 byte slices, one million per op, 4 cores:

BenchmarkAllocation/procs-4-10 115 10469109 ns/op 64000517 B/op 1000007 allocs/op

One operation makes 1000007 allocations.

Each operation takes 10469109 nanoseconds (0.010469109 seconds).

Per second 1 / 0.010469109 ≈ 95.52 operations.

So, allocations per second = 95.52 * 1000007 ≈ 95.5 million

I recently finished Peter Turchin's "End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites, and the Path of Political Disintegration": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62926960-end-times. I thought his insight (that societies often fall into so-called secular cycles, rather profound and illuminating).
The chances of landing on an IT job for which I can take pride in, is 100% remote and that pays well is very low. To begin with, I dislike all the faang-like companies.

Besides, being good at programming makes it easier to deal with BS jobs that pay well, so it’s not that I suffer 40h/week.

My solution for a few "bugs considered features" in huge open-source software like Firefox was to just patch the binary. Much easier than figuring out how to build it, and with only the change I wanted.

Sure. Now dismantle “scientific” papers published by government agencies with a political motive.

This is beside the point however. Both the government studies and the boots on the ground in fact agree that masking causes significant developmental disabilities, the only disagreement is the extent.
Early on in my career when I was first put into the position of hiring both employees and contractors, a guy I was working with said "We can ask him for a better price and promise to give him a better deal on the next one", and I said "but we won't have any more work after this one" and he said "yeah I know but we can just tell him that to get a better price".

It was one of the first times I realised that people are actively being jerks in business negotiations.

Another time was when I put my prices up to $160/hour from $80/hour after I realised I wasn't making any money (in fact by my calculations I was losing $3/hour for every hour my staff worked).

I didn't lose a single customer. They all just said "oh, right, well, okay when will you have it done?".

The same guys who had been crying poor a couple of months prior about how they "just didn't have the budget" were now paying double the rate and they could totally afford it.

Chat has become the dominant form of communication, with messaging apps being used by over 3.5 billion people monthly, largely due to the convenience and reduced anxiety compared to phone calls. While early chatbots often failed due to inappropriate responses, lack of understanding, and contextual awareness, modern AI-powered chatbots have evolved to be more intuitive, context-aware, and capable of providing personalized interactions.
The office furniture market is incredibly competitive and, as a result, a lot of budget level stuff is far superior in quality (in terms of durability) than you'll find at ikea.

Of course, the downside being that it does look like utility office furniture and is not exactly stylish.

I am the author of this toy project. My personal website is [here]((https://yangrobotics.com). Thank you all for your interest!
This project began as an effort to mentor a talented high school student in learning Rust and robotics. During the process, I realized that there was a lack of educational materials available online.

In response, I set out to create a minimal example of quadrotor control and planning in Rust. I was inspired by [llm.c](https://github.com/karpathy/llm.c), which teaches complex topics with minimal code. My goal was to provide a similar experience, introducing the magic behind quadrotor autonomy with as little code as possible.

With the initial framework I developed, I am thrilled to see that my mentee is now able to work independently, experimenting with his own ideas in Rust!

I believe this codebase will be valuable for anyone who wants to:

a. Learn the principles behind quadrotor autonomy.
Code robotics in Rust.

b. Explore the challenges of using Rust before incorporating it into their projects.

Throughout the development of this project, I have strived to work entirely within the Rust ecosystem. I am now convinced that Rust is ready for serious robotics development. Here are some tools I've been using:

1. [zed.dev](https://yangrobotics.com) for code editing.

2. [Rerun](rerun.io) for visualization.

3. [tokei](https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/tokei) for code line statistics.

4. [nalgebra](https://nalgebra.org) for matrix operations.

There are still a few things I'm searching for, such as a robust optimization library. Currently, I'm experimenting with [OpEn](https://alphaville.github.io/optimization-engine) for nonlinear model predictive control, but I hope to find something akin to [acados](https://github.com/acados) in Rust. Additionally, while nalgebra is solid, I believe it still doesn't outperform [Eigen](https://eigen.tuxfamily.org) in terms of performance, though Rust's language features might limit the possibility of implementing something like Eigen.

I'm open to suggestions and feedback! For instance, I’m still debating whether to modularize the pipeline and add async features, or whether to keep things simpler to avoid overwhelming beginner learners.

> Mozilla watcher Sören Hentzschel points out [1] that the release notes do not indicate that this service collects data. This means that end users were not aware that the service was forwarding data to Mozilla, which is remarkable for a browser provider that claims to value (data) privacy.

I don't think the second sentence can/should be inferred from the first. Just the fact that the removal isn't called out in the release notes, doesn't mean that users weren't informed about it when it was present.

There's probably something to be said about whether it was mentioned clearly enough (and on whether it should have been present in the first place), but the release notes of a future version is not where I'd expect to find information about data collection.

(I work for Mozilla, but not on Firefox and wasn't involved with this.)

Nobody is "belittling" anything, and the only reason you're resorting to that language is because you don't have anything of value to say. If you did, you'd actually say it. But no, let's just cry instead.

Look, all I'm saying is that the changing of these words ISN'T baseless and there IS some thought behind it.

Yes, you are disabled. But... you're not dis... abled. You ARE able to do things. That's not up for debate, so I'm not sure why you're arguing it. Will you really argue you're useless? No, you won't.

Of course it is! What system has a heart? Systems are systems, not something that's capable to develop and cultivate and apply empathy. And even then, it could probably be gamed, like any other system. The need for checks and balances in a system is normal. In fact, I use this to judge how humane a system is. Is there a way to express feedback, to enact changes, to revise decisions, to compensate for damages? If so, then it might be not such a bad system. If not really, then that's most likely not a good system.
Banks are a terrible example for this thread's argument. Banking is essentially the end result of what happens when businesses kowtow to the invasive demands of the government, implement ever-more invasive content policing, becoming de facto arms of the bureaucratic state.

A bank will drop you if they even think you might be doing something (demonstrably on paper) illegal. When opening an account, some of the very first questions a bank asks you are "where did you get this money" and "what do you do for work" - proactively making you responsible for committing to some type of story. All of the illegality you're trying to reference is happening under a backdrop of reams of paperwork that make it look like above board activity to compliance departments. Without that paperwork when shit does hit the fan, people working at the bank do tend to go to jail. But with that paperwork it's "nobody's fault" unless they manage to find a few bank employees to pin it on.

Needless to say, this type of prior restraint regime being applied to free-form communication would be an abject catastrophe.

I bought a simple square pine table (I think it's 'Ingo') for maybe C$50 about 15 years ago. We used it as a dining table for a few years, then when we moved and bought a fancier marble tulip table it was shuffled out to the balcony to be patio furniture. We did a longer move across the country and almost got rid of it but it's easy to disassemble with just 1 angled bolt for each leg so I kept it for an extra work table for odd jobs. The top has been used as a sacrificial surface for drilling and hundreds of circular saw cuts, and it's covered in paint. It's been outside for the last 4 or 5 years, often as a table for splitting kindling. I was using it last week in the garden to save me bending down when repotting seedlings. It just goes on and on.

Oh I agree with that. EC's behaviour in that case is appalling.

> Corporations can't necessarily trust the EC's own interpretations of their own laws

There is a way to be safe with regards to EU law, and it's to engineer systems where European data stays in Europe. Of course, the issue is that corporations would then be liable under US' FISA 702.

That's the big issue: the United States made a law that basically states that no US company should follow EU law, and the US admin manages to beat EC officials into submission every few years with another flawed agreement to keep the ball rolling.

I've done 64kb intros since the 90s so I'm pretty familiar with sizecoding, my point was rather that non-generated audio is usually pretty much out of the picture whilst images in pixelart form is still feasible to a degree.
What happens then? They leave a vacuum and then what? Noone fills that vacuum? Assuming there is zero competence in the EU, which is highly unlikely since both the best image generation model right now and very respectable open source llms are from the EU, and on top of this several countries in Europe have exceptional tech talent (especially in the East), the Chinese would jump in immidiately.

It sounds like compliance is only possible* if "the US company doesn't have any influence on the EU data-holding company" which is insane. This might be satisfied if the US company simply licenses their software product (e.g. the Uber backend) to an EU company. But this might not be adequate since chances are updates would be somewhat automated, and thus the US-based Uber might be compelled by the government to ship malware with their update to catch some US criminal (or otherwise enact some US spying).

* edit: only possible in lieu of a data agreement like Privacy Shield or its successor as mentioned above

IKEA sells a lot of furniture that is not modern looking at all, even reviving some retro lines recently. I'd describe it as a healthy mix.

I moved around ten times with a lot of IKEA furniture, changing countries even and the IKEA furniture definitely did not fall aparart. There are specific products, like the back of a wardrobe, that never fit properly - a move won't help there, but also isn't the deciding factor.

That is also why a second hand market for IKEA furniture is such a good idea. That stuff is sold second hand repeatedly anyway, can't hurt to add a bit of structure to that.
