Well apparently they’ve already solved this since AM radio in cars has been a thing for like 90 years.
I feel sorry for your problems, but to be honest I'm reading the discussion here to understand what others think and who exactly can buy in that sort of "too good to be true" ideal solution.

Because to me it just looks like another shiny thing that tries to be everything to everyone and ends up doing nothing good.
They seem to be good salesmen, but less competent devs, at least when it comes to creating real innovation, not repacking old code/ideas.

I'm saying that because, both of their websites are so bad that they create problems in Chrome, something that is rather rare nowadays with an adblocker; the Tamagui one repeatedly eats memory and crash in tab and the One seem to have some rendering issues.

It did not investigate because I don't really care, but I'll say it doesn't inspire confidence at all and in my opinion, it is largely enough evidence to dismiss the whole thing as a toy project of semi competent devs.

In another comment, I have seen you drop the hypocrisy and be a bit mad about the support you gave for disappointing results. I think the one you are the maddest at is yourself, because you feel you should have known and to be honest, you probably should have. But we all learn everyday...
The bandwidth is the dealbreaker. Commercial FM radio has a necessary bandwidth of 270KHz. That’s not a lot when your carrier frequency is around 100,000KHz. It’s a whole lot when your carrier is around 1000KHz.

For comparison, commercial AM mono bandwidth is 10KHz. SSB AM ham radios use 2.4KHz.
It is syntactically different, not semantically different. If you gave me any reasonable code in k/q I'm pretty confident I could write semantically identical Julia and/or numpy code.

In fact I've seen interop between q and numpy. The two mesh well together. The differences are aesthetic more than anything else.
Yes, more (very obviously connected, they're literally posting the same comments) accounts have turned up and gone more in that direction after I made my initial comment.
Python has Django, C# has ASP .NET Core, Ruby has Rails, and so on... If you want to really make Rust take off with web development, build up a full-feature solution.

>before he died the guy was basically an international pariah and violent criminal ringleader. McAfee said a lot of things you shouldn't believe

This is all true, but it doesn't matter. He was the founder of McAfee software, and the company still bore his name. Even worse, they chose to keep his name as the company name, even though he was "an international pariah and violent criminal ringleader" as you say.

So why shouldn't I believe him when he says their software is garbage? A company that stupid can't possibly make good software. A smart company would have changed the name once their founder became infamous.

Importing the most advanced silicon fabs from other countries (ASML, which makes the machines that make the world's computer chips) is a different skill than building power plants. Even the nuclear power stations they have were built by General Electric and Westinghouse.

The reason Taiwan is valuable is because they are allowed to import western tech that China is not allowed to have, and the labor is somehow cheaper there to operate it.
Why would you cut into an operation that's already measured milliseconds (vm image rehydration is one of the implementations of 'serverless') over a single syscall that's already built around the idea of blocking if it needs more time?
I find sq handy when you use it to accomplish things you can't (easily) do with just raw SQL. Things like: exporting certain rows to JSON or CSV, transforming rows into nicely formatted log lines for viewing, or reading in a CSV file and querying it the same way you'd query other databases. It's particularly easy to start using if you're already familiar with the jq.

If you use things like `array_to_json(array_agg(row_to_json(....)))` in your psql commands to output some rows to JSON, then sq's `--json` or `--jsonl` is quite a bit easier IMHO. If you know the exact SQL query you want to run you can just do `sq sql '....'` as well, but I agree there's not much point in doing that if you aren't taking advantage of some other sq feature.
The equivalence depends on what the intent of the statement was. If it was a yardstick to indicate the necessity for something that is rarely used to be fit for purpose and user friendly, I'd say it's apt.
>Result<T, E> where E implements Error` and lack of nulls or exceptions

> China grew 5.2% last year and is growing faster than the US this year.

This is true, but insufficient.

US GDP per capita is 6.3x that of China. So the US' 2.4% growth last year was 3x larger than China's on an absolute per capita basis.

If China ever hopes to become a high income country it needs to grow in the 10% per year every year, for the next two decades.

In fact, if the US has mediocre growth of 3%, and China 9%, for the next 20 years, China will still only be half as rich as the US. China would need to maintain a growth rate of 12-13% per year, for 2 decades if it ever hope to match US wealth.

>But I've also come to see there's actual value in only spending your own time just prepping/waiting/managing rather than having to physically and mentally exert yourself during that time.

To me, having to deal with people I don't trust one iota is a huge mental exertion too, that more than compensates for any physical or mental exertion needed for just doing the damn thing myself. And that's on top of all the time/effort needed to research places, compare prices, travel time, waiting time, etc.

Sure, if I had Alfred, my trustworthy hyper-competent butler, to take care of more mundane things for me, I'd let him do a lot of this stuff instead. But I don't, and the people that work these jobs (at least in the US) are usually anything but competent.
I worked with a startup in Seattle that was essentially this. Store your skis/kayak/whatever for a flat fee a month depending on the item. They did door to door delivery/drop off as well.

> 1 second of a 1080p Netflix stream will use 5x the total daily bandwidth of an IoT device reporting temperature once every 10 seconds

Don't have a Netflix file to test with but YT, the video data is 73KiB for the first second (tested by ffmpeg'ing the first second into a new file with codecs set to 'copy'). The page, however, seems to fetch about 9 megabytes in the first second of loading (various features still loading such as comments).

Reporting temperature, let's say it's super secure with IV and MAC headers and trailers and another nonce for replay protection (all in all 3x 32 bytes) plus the actual value and other metadata (like which device the report is from) of, say, another 32 bytes, plus IPv6 headers etc. is a couple hundred bytes. Call it 256. There are a gross ten minutes in a day, coming to 144×256 = 36 KiB.

Huh, that's pretty accurate when considering video data ("any second" rather than the first second specifically that needs to include the page weight). I had expected the video data to be vastly bigger compared to that sensor reporting just one value per ten minutes. That keyframe+video compression is really quite something; raw 24-bit would be 6 MiB rather than 73 KiB

I would expect the licensing situation to be very different for music than for normal YouTube uploads. YouTube sometimes[0][1] offers "YouTube Premium Lite" in some countries, which doesn't include YouTube Music. This heavily suggests the music licensing adds cost. Unfortunately, it's not available where I live (New Zealand), looks to still have banner ads (easily deal with by an ad blocker, but still kind of insulting to have banner ads on a paid product), and doesn't even include background play on non-music videos (not that it actually matters in my case, since I only watch on my Mac).

I could imagine community ownership working in your case. Whoever controls such an important and scarce resource that many people depend upon for survival, whether it be public or private, is going to have their top minds focusing on maximizing its utility and longevity. The governance model probably doesn't matter as much as the virtues of the people doing it.
Typing in modern days is effectively moving the task of debugging to compile/ide annotations process instead of testing for correctness.

Albeit it makes the process easier compared to a really shittly written code without strict typing, but against good codebases, it takes the same amount of time.
> and if we pretend we can't hear the Haskell developers it's one of the best type systems out there

Eh, Rust's type system isn't one of the best out there. It's lacking higher kinded types, etc. It's abilities in type level programming are frustratingly limited as well.

So it's advanced aside from from Haskell, OCaml, Idris, Scala, etc. Compare to OCaml's effect system for an advanced type system feature.
Well, my point is that it's not as easy as saying "just pick a smarter algorithm". Not all problems needing high precision can resort to a smart summation. Sometimes that smart algorithm just doesn't exist yet.

You are also right, that if you can solve your problem with high precision, it's unlikely that just quad precision will be enough. For example the inverse Laplace transform. In some cases you need thousands of digits. The cases where double precision is not enough, but quad precision is are probably rare. But it's worth a try.
Why does it feel like regulations always have a well defined safety argument and a less defined, less “important” argument to the contrary?

Here's another way to think of the inspiration for the article. You're creating a file to use as input to another computer program (in this case, rustc). Your text file contains the ascii strings 'a', and '\n'. The rustc computer, when reading the text file, reads the corresponding byte sequences - 39, 97, 39, and 39, 92, 110, 39, respectively. The first byte sequence contains the 97 that you desire, but the second sequence does not contain a 10. Yet, rustc somehow knows to generate a 10 from 39, 92, 110, 39. How?

I don't see where we disagree. That's pretty much exactly why my points are less relevant for math papers: they are supposed to be self-contained. And while the result is sometimes interesting and can be put into TL;DR, I'd say in the most cases the entire point is reading the proof. No, I mean there definitely were cases when I was just wanted to see the final formula and skip the derivation, and I'd absolutely want it to be in the abstract as often, as possible, and I suspect that many math papers could be improved by using a better media than a LaTeX pdf file, but, as you said yourself, for math, it mostly isn't about informing me about the result.

It is for most other fields. Basically, in the majority of cases the entire paper should be reducible to a couple of sentences that are useful on their own, which I'd like to read in (or rather instead of) the abstract, and the rest 50 pages of the paper should be a detailed report of why is it reasonable to believe you didn't lie (intentionally or not) to me in the abstract, by explaining the exact way to reproduce it, with providing as much data as legally possible. But the insufficiency of the content in your typical research paper is another topic, and much more complicated, so I wasn't going to start about that again, I only raised the points about the format, since that's what the thread is about.

Well in "Brave New World", they replaced parents with institutions where children grew up and were raised by the (basically) teachers. Similar to how schoolchildren are handled today, with one teacher leading a class of 15-30 kids.

Looking at the average state of parenting in the US today, it seems like a potentially huge improvement.

> it will only take a finite number of steps to specify the answer at any level you're capable of writing down.

That’s basically the good old “everything is O(1) because int64/float64 has 2^64 possibilities” misconception. It’s not how complexity theory works. For any N, 2^N is still finite, we’re obviously not talking about undecidable problems.

Edit: I see that you may be responding to the “finitely enumerate” part of my comment. Sure, it wasn’t phrased well. Replace with “enumerate in P”.
