Speaking of the AirPods becoming actual hearing aides - how will we reconcile the fact that it is not socially acceptable to wear AirPods when speaking with someone?

Even if you get to explain ‘oh my AirPods are functioning as a hearing aide’ you likely won’t be able to explain that to other people noticing the conversation and thinking to themselves ‘oh that’s douchey, not taking our your AirPods when talking to someone’.

I just really wonder if this will be able to make wearing AirPods while talking to other people socially acceptable because the current presumption is likely that they are not behaving nicely.
Python, Ruby, and to a much larger extent PHP are the Docker showcase!

For example, if you have a program that uses wsgi and runs on python 2.7, and another wsgi program that runs on python 3.16, you will absolutely need 2 different web servers to run them.

You can give different ports to both, and install an nginx on port 80 with a reverse proxy. But software tends to come with a lot of assumptions that make ops hard, and they will often not like your custom setup... but they will almost certainly like a normal docker setup.

I'm betting a lot of that is reviews, approval, documentation, testing, re-testing etc - but it may be required for building a safe aircraft, and for getting it licenced to fly.
You say one-way parasocial relationships have existed since basically the dawn of humanity, but all the examples you give are of things that have only become popular in, generously, the last century.
Yes, I’ve seen that too. One reason it will spin its wheels is because it “prefers” patterns in transcripts and will try to continue them. If it gets something wrong several times, it picks up on the “wrong answers” pattern.

It’s better not to keep wrong answers in the transcript. Edit the question and try again, or maybe start a new chat.
I realize you said it in jest, but as someone with ADHD generalizations like this hurt. Many of us love science and we have enough day to day difficulties to contend with.

That said, I can think of a few reasons for not releasing a photo:

1. Solar sails are flimsily and fragile. The photo would likely not be representative of the craft in action.

2. The labs building these things may not have a professional photographer available.

3. A prototype craft might just look like junk. Wouldn’t be surprised if they want to iterate on the design a bit before they solidify the public’s vision of what a solar sailing craft looks like.
I suspect it was always monetized as well, but the internet allows for both for a massive increase in followers and an increasingly easy path for money to move from the followers’ wallets to the celebrities. It seems new or unprecedented, but similar models have existed on smaller scales for thousands of years at least.

Perhaps a really naive question: what can you do with a solar sail in orbit?

I've always heard these as mentioned in the context of very long distance trips (heading away from the sun). But if you're orbiting the earth, how do you take advantage of this? In general, how do you use a solar sail to do anything other than head away from the sun?
> I don't think I've ever seen someone with a hearing aid and though anything negative of it, I get it people can be self-conscious, but for something like a hearing aid I think it's unjustified.

Neither have I. On the other hand, I have seen people wearing air pods and thought they looked ridiculous, as if they had qtips sticking out of their ears. Especially if they're sticking out at different angles.
Perhaps so.

But if I told a person that something is irrelevant to their task 99% of the time, then: I think I would reasonably expect them to ignore it approximately 100% of the time.
> Of course I can. I can always change the code to anything I like. That's what "rewriting" is. The question is only whether the business logic still makes sense, and whether the old call site code still works. Just look at the example I gave above.

You have a function that can return a Null response and you are claiming you can rewrite it to be one that does not return a Null.

This means that in the cases where your function previously produced a `Null`, you have to produce a `Y`. You claimed you can do this if you write the function to receive `X|Null`. In other words you are claiming you can write `(X -> Y|Null) -> X|Null -> Y`. I challenge you to write this function.

> "Implementing" is a special case of rewriting, so how can you say you can implement something but not rewrite it?

I didn't say that. You claimed you can write `(X -> Y|Null) -> X|Null -> Y`. I am saying that is impossible but you could write `(X|Null -> Y) -> X -> Y|Null`. Do you see the difference?
Well said, and unnecessarily downvoted for such a thoughtful comment.

Both of those are absolutely embarrassing, did they use a 1950s Soviet tank engine? According to a quick Google search, a Ford Transit (bigger sized but not optimised for post delivery van) gets 33-46 mpg depending on the engine.

Yeah, a post vehicle will start/stop much more, but that's where start/stop tech, and maybe even hybrid come in.

> I couldn't [...] see any mechanical safety failsafes in case of overheating.

On the assembly instructions, page 39 shows the boiler assembly has a therm-o-disc thermostat fixed to the top. It's not labelled, you just have to recognise it. The schematic on page 44 shows it's wired in series with the boiler's heater. That provides redundancy for the main temperature control, which is presumably the microcontroller sensing from the PT1000

Page 32 also describes the installation of an overpressure valve (which appears to return water to the cold tank?)

The machine does lack hardware run-dry protection though; as far as I can tell, it relies on a load cell to detect if there's water in the tank. If you ran it without water to conduct heat from the heating element to the thermostat, the thermostat wouldn't function. So it's not entirely safe, as you say.

I'd bet the crash couldn't directly loosen the cable - too low-speed, with an extremely large "crumple zone". And connectors designed for shipboard use (tossed about by storm waves & such) might be pretty resistant to jarring loose.

But what the crew might have done with that connection, right after the crash and plausibly in an "OMG!" panic...that'd be the huge question, in my mind.

I can't imagine you leaned into any one of those releases, then. That sequence involves major changes to the kernel, the init system, the configuration management tools, the core libraries, Apache, Python, Perl, etc. Any one of those alone could (and did, in my experience) trigger a major rewrite of configuration and/or code.

I've been having a weird timezone issue in my Rails application that I've had a hard time getting my head around. I tried giving o1-preview the relevant code and context it needed to know and it gave answers that seemed to make sense but it still wasn't able to resolve the bug and explain exactly what was going on.

So, it seems like anything that requires some actual thought and problem-solving is tough for it to answer.

By unsolicited information, I mean it is normal to be open and comfortable speaking about your past sex life regardless if you partner asked to know about it. But specifically be curious and intrusive about your partner's past is different.

> They're controlled by Putin. There is a pretty solid argument that his inner circle is a mafia with nuclear weapons. What ended up happening is only a few shades improved on terrorists; it isn't particularly encouraging to have dictators with weapons that powerful.

Nothing changed then. The USSR was a reckless totalitarian dictatorship too, with the major difference being that the current version has managed to enslave 100 million less people than the previous iteration. Hopefully the next version will be even smaller.

> That is in fact one of my main points here - the decision to support the Ukrainians and try to bleed the Russians out was when most of the damage was committed to. The precedent here is the UN sends thoughts & prayers, the Ukraine government gets blatted and we all move on a la the Afghan or Iraq invasions.

You skipped over the destruction of Ukrainian statehood, eradication of Ukrainian language and culture, physical extermination of entire classes of people (at least several million in total) and a totalitarian dictatorship for the rest, followed by further invasions westwards into Poland, using Ukrainians as cannon fodder like Russians have already decimated the male population of occupied territories by forcing them against Ukrainian Armed Forces.

For Ukraine, the alternative to war is another genocide carried out by Russians. Loss of people and loss of culture. Afghanistan and Iraq are nothing comparable.

> Ugly affairs, morally devastating but not quite the level of destruction that the US engineered in Ukraine.

No more has the US "engineered destruction in Ukraine" than it did when it supported Britain against invaders. Germans intended to use British merchant fleet to deport all European Jews to Madagascar, but they had to abandon the plan after failing to invade Britain. For lack of better options, Jews were burned in ovens instead. If you are inclined to blame anyone but the perpertrators, then this is your opportunity to pin the Holocaust on the Americans, because their aid was vital to British victory.

>With traditional adult entertainment, creators are aware of the social ramifications (e.g., social stigma, familial ostracism, difficulty dealing with the future, and so on)

I don't know why you say this, as it is laughably untrue. The porn industry has ALWAYS filled itself with very very young women who were assured (by liars) their family and friends and coworkers wouldn't see it, promised they wouldn't have to do certain things that they then get pressured and bullied into doing, and giving the women zero control over the produced media, how it is represented, how THEY are represented, and how it is portrayed to the audience.

There's an immense amount of regret and "I didn't know" in the industry.

> Even the book on Microservices says “First build the Monolith”.\

And yet, funnily enough, the book on Monoliths says to break things up into smaller services! It says your data should be stored in its own service (possibly multiple services, if you need multi-paradigm access [e.g. relational, full-text search, etc.]). The user experience should use its own service. And, at very least, you should have another service in between (this is where Django and Rails usually fit). Optionally, it says, you will probably want to have additional services as well (auth, financial transitions, etc.)

If Clark had a gun to my head and Olof was refusing to give them what they wanted I would be pretty upset with Olof but way more upset with Clark. I might convince myself that Clark is super nice and only holding a gun to my head because of something something, but that's the essence of Stockholm syndrome in the end.

I disagree that Stockholm syndrome is "widely believed to be rooted in scientific fact" -- I would say that "Stockholm Syndrome is widely believed to be a real phenomenon" and remove the pretension of "science" from the equation entirely.

I don't feel that I'm moving the goalposts -- what, in your mind, is the "application" of the theory of Stockholm Syndrome other than what I've said here? Do you honestly believe that hostage negotiators are saying "if the hostages get in your way, shoot them because they have Stockholm Syndrome Which Is A Scientific Fact"?

Espresso is a weird animal. In my experience, there’s basically “good espresso” and “bad espresso”. The fancy equipment mostly helps you make the good kind more frequently.
