> I still haven’t figured out what to do with the old unit

I don't have a success percentage to offer you, but I've seen quite a lot of that kind of thing in the "free" section of Craigslist. There are all kinds of folks who grab that stuff for parts, for the challenge, or who knows

I've also seen mixed opinions about the best way to use that section: one audience thinks "put it on the curb, announce the fact you did so, the end" and the other audience is against that because it could cause multiple people to drive to what could be an empty curb by the time they get there. I'd say go with whichever causes you the least emotional stress: fielding bazillions of Craigslist emails or running the risk of inadvertent climate change contributions
> I think you also know that your example is tangential and hardly comparable. The Homestead Act, and all other related land grant acts, have no relation to the modern beneficiary system that only came into existence in the US in the early 20th century

I posit that the distinction is arbitrary. There is no qualitative difference between civil war pensions of 1862 vs the G.I. bill of 1944. If there was a change in government doctrine, I'd love to see concrete contrasts rather than hand-waving. Or perhaps Thiel's gripe is quantitative rather than qualitative?
That thing is amazing. I suspect optimised for shorter distance and dynamism, whereas I think the 280 is basically a faster helicopter that can cruise longer distance? Not expert, just wondered about the tradeoffs given the relatively bad safety record of the v22 Osprey it replaces. So this is an Osprey, but better and safer because simpler mechanics.

On new approaches, I saw something about new US missile research where they get rid of the fins and point the nose to turn. My Google-fu is failing me though.
So probably more than half of his household income comes from Apple, so there's a conflict of interest. The ethical choice is not to "try to be neutral", but simply to acknowledge that someone else who actually is neutral is more qualified to report on that topic.

It's like how judges should recuse themselves from cases where they have a stock portfolio including one party to the case.
I'm sure this will soon be solved using the hack of accessing shared Wi-Fi fabrics that some ISPs now offer (as in, the thing where the router will offer a generic network such as CoxWiFi, and allow random people to pay to use your WiFi; even if you don't have it, maybe your neighbor does)... and even then, new IoT longer-range WiFi services can act as a backstop.
Yes. Adacore is working on it. They announce the first qualified compiler, for some qualification, here: https://www.adacore.com/press/adacore-announces-the-first-qu...

Three legged table supremacy!
Understandable. I'll just say that for a sample size of n=1 I've seen no GI side effects with il17 blockers.

Which was not the case with otezla. But tnfa blockers - yeah those are bad times.

In any case, good luck with your treatment!
There's a nightly build every night.
There is a stable release every now and then. There are no official LTS releases.
The question has been asked every now and then, but I see no real need for an LTS release. Just pick any version and keep using that specific version for as long as you want to. You could pick the same version as some LTS linux distro version.
What if you want people to know :p
I would like to ask, what practical uses do similar data have in production scenarios? For example, to count the density of a crowd? Verify the authenticity of a company or for other purposes?
I always had trouble envisioning this. I think part of the reason is the "angle x", which, according to the explanation and video on this page, is vector-valued, not scalar. IVT applies to scalar functions, is there an equivalent for a function with a vector domain?

The table does not rotate around its own axis, but rather it rotates in "such a way that three legs stay on the surface", i.e. moves around in 3d with a surface-contact constraint, which seems like a motion with more than one degree of freedom to me. Is such a rotation always possible? Is the motion somehow effectively 1D?

These questions don't seem to have "obvious" answers to me, and they're only addressed as "assumptions" on this page.
I don’t think they added autocomplete support so PtPython is still better.
From a short-term capitalistic perspective, this is correct. The cost of the toxic materials generated from burning is externalized to all of us who are stuck on this rock.
I meant up-front loan fees like origination fees, etc. You're saying they don't have those? It's been a long time since I financed a car at a dealer. Also title work/documentation fees, warranties, and whatever else they might talk you into.
If the modified will be open-source would you be willing to outline goals of the project on github or gitlab? I'd be happy to take a look. been a while since I've done PCB work I mostly do asic/fpga design now, but depending on the scope I could possibly help.
Exactly. I always hate these "your time is worth your hourly wage" arguments. They're often used to argue against things like changing the oil in your car, fixing a clogged drain, or DIYing anything.

Your time is only worth money if you'd otherwise be working at that rate, which is not the case for the vast majority of humans.
Even if the little apex predators annihilated all of the birds, reptiles and bugs, there's always hope some survived!
And those ancient, niche toolchains are horribly buggy as a rule. For example, a certain Santa Barbara based vendor ships a high integrity compiler that you can crash with entirely normal standards compliant C/C++.
But Google Maps is on iOS because there's hundreds of dollars worth of friction in buying a new phone. Google knows people won't leave iOS just to use Google Maps.

In contrast, installing another app store is just a few taps. Consumers want the app, and then will be forced into a situation where they've got 10 or 15 different app stores installed to support the 20 apps they use, because no corporation wants another corporation taking a percentage of payments or controlling app review.

It will be lovely.
Wow, kid, you really have no clue about the world.
This is smart. If you're contributing to opensource Github, there's a high likeli hood it gets into one of these datasets and maybe training data for an LLM.
CAP theorem is great, though it does omit latency. Which leads you to the logical extension, PACELC [1]:

If there is a network Partition you must choose Availability or Consistency, Else the tradeoff is Latency vs Consistency.

This offers practical intuition for certain design choices.

For example Google Spanner [2] is a distributed DB that offers globally consistent reads/writes, but to achieve high performance (low latency) nodes must synchronize with multiple extremely accurate reference clocks (GPS & atomic) and follow a complex two phase commit protocol that ensures transactional linearizability using lower bounds and uncertainty of timestamps.

As another example, your multicore CPU leverages a cache coherency protocol that faces remarkably similar tradeoffs. Perhaps others have made this connection before…it does feel like some sort of universal law of physics.

How? A helicopter is on the order of 75-80 decibels at 1000 feet. That’s the equivalent of a giant flying stadium speaker consuming kilowatts of power, that has to catch a much smaller 200mph drone while being just as cheap.

The attack drone can just move and triangulate the sound, eliminating anything that’s trying to mimic a helicopter without outputting enough decibels.
Didn't I read something a few years ago about shitty sellers abusing that system by sending counterfeit versions of products to Amazon, and then legitimate sellers get fucked over when their customers get the counterfeit version (because hey were commingled)?
But can it be cheaper?

That's the lesson from drones vs tanks.
I have read Dave’s blog since nearly the beginning. I remember working with Clay Basket and Frontier back in the early days.
I agree. Our industry is perhaps the most cargo-culty industry that I've ever worked in. And the sad part is, unfortunately everybody thinks that they are the paragon of original clear thinking.
Hightec also have an ISO26262 qualified compiler focused on automotive: https://hightec-rt.com/rust

So there's lots of focus on having a good alternative to C/C++
I strongly endorse unpoly, it's a wonderful JavaScript library run by a great engineer, and it offers best in class progressive enhancement and many useful features layered on top of plain HTML.
Apple wasn't ruled not a monopoly. It was ruled that the evidence Epic brought in the case was insufficient to show Apple was a monopoly, and the court would entertain other arguments in the future.

Apple didn't need to do anything, but they didn't "win" that convincingly.
Is it cost effective or logistically scalable to have the kinds of ICs that are used in current cheap FPV drones to be made on the latest fabs?
I actually think embedded is one of the few places where rust makes sense.

In 99% of cases outside embedded, a GC'ed language would be better, but a long time ago someone started the meme that GC is slow, or that your users will notice the pauses, etc but those fears are massively overblown.

But on embedded where resources are constrained and you can't run e.g. a JVM then Rust makes sense to me, since you can eliminate a whole class of errors from the get go.
Was just gonna comment on how awesome that was lmao.

This would be such a good out-of-context video
I think a more apt comparison is to fungus -- it can be part of a healthy ecosystem, rotting and breaking down old growth. It can also take hold of an otherwise healthy host long before its natural end, and just like with our bodies and food we take steps to mitigate that.
I didn't realize that I had to be close to the CFO to read publicly available earnings reports
PHP for what it's worth has actually done a pretty good job with its type system.
Apple wasn't ruled not a monopoly. It was ruled that Epic failed to bring convincing evidence and arguments.

So yes, Apple could be subject to similar restrictions in the future. Either through another monopoly case, or [imo more likely] regulation.
My all time favorite fantasy series is Malazan - not a light read though, and probably not a series for anyone new to fantasy. One of the few series I will read again.
What are the speeds and the distances required to take down a jet like an F-35?

Are you absolutely certain that there's no other way to take down modern fighter aircraft?

Like isn't that the lesson from the Ukraine war w.r.t. tanks? That there are cheaper, more effective tools out there to take out state of the art equipment.
I went through a phase where I enjoyed short stories more than a book, as many authors have used that form (the short story) to work on a particular theme or topic of interest to them.

Orson Scott Card's Maps in a Mirrors comes to mind.
The people that sold their stakes to people like Scott Galloway must be kicking themselves. Great trade.

It could be done. We have autonomous underwater drones that can map the seafloor.

There are a lot of problems.

Technically, you need the resources of a nation-state to make stealthy ones that can operate at depth. There are no off the shelf systems you can strap together. Salt water and pressure destroys things very quickly. It wouldn’t take long for non-moving propellers to get fouled with debris. If you want a mine that launches a torpedo, I think that already exists. If you don’t need to operate at depth, a surface drone would be sufficient. If you’re attacking ships, aerial drones or missiles are better.

If you’re not a nation-state, diesel-electric submarines have been around for more than a century. They are easier to build and will be for a long time.

Even once you have drones, what are they attacking? The US has less than a hundred submarines.

In my opinion, this is an advanced technology weapon as part of a combined arms strategy. Basically a more sophisticated torpedo.

Or newspapers, both before and after it. They've always been vast advertising platforms, but don't have anywhere near the same stigma that online advertisers have acquired (for extremely good reasons imo - they're as invasive as possible, while printed media has rather tight limits)

They could have become the dominant advertisers online too, and then no doubt they'd be just as nasty. But they lost that war multiple times, first to doubleclick-likes and then to social media.
> consumers choose what to buy, who to buy from, and how often.

Sure, but when companies can all collectively decide that they're only going do one thing, you either stop consuming entirely or put up with the abuse.

> Why should government need to step in

Because companies won't do it on their own.

> what is government going to do?

Write right to repair legislature. None of these are difficult problems, you just seem to have a libertarian mindset which inevitably means you just play defense for corporations doing whatever they want.
I permanently closed my battle.net account from the D2:LoD days following a tedious dispute with Blizzard over a Diablo IV refund. I noted in the complaint the irony that despite not getting to play the game, they'd still succeeded in showing me their new vision of hell.
That ... feels like it defeats the purpose of designating a special, certified library for safety-critical code.
Yes, that is how our justice system works. First, the government accuses you of a crime, then they have to prove that you committed it, and you get to defend yourself.

How else could it possibly work? Companies just get to break the law and no one can ever take them to court over it?

Until a few years ago I would have answered "Um copo de cólera", by Raduan Nassar... but then I read "Crônica da casa assassinada", by Lúcio Cardoso.

My favorite music album is "Fun House", by The Stooges. "Um copo de cólera" has the same chaotic fury of "Fun House", but transposed to literature - and "Um copo de cólera" is the same, but it was written 20 years earlier, is even stronger, and it touches lots of tabboo topics.

I don't know if there are decent translations of them from Portuguese to other languages.

My favorite book _that is available in English_ is "The Lives of Animals", by J.M. Coetzee: <https://tannerlectures.utah.edu/_resources/documents/a-to-z/...>.
Which case is that? Because that's not how the Apple ruling went.

It's not unless you consider Ukraine part of the US. Russia and Ukraine are using 10k+ drones per month each.
I’d say western militaries will avoid extreme casualties if they can, but read a bit about the Second Battle of Faluja - the U.S. for example has no problem sending troops into hardcore combat.

In fact, I would argue that the U.S., U.K., Israel, and now Ukraine and Russia are the only countries today that have demonstrated the capability to engage in extremely fierce fighting.

We’ve also become a lot better at keeping troops alive, which I wouldn’t mistake for a reluctance to engage in heavy fighting.

It’s important to remember, and Russia in particular has learned this lesson again most recently, that you need to exercise your military to work out cobwebs and operational problems, and while you can conduct training exercises, nothing resembles the experience from fighting a war. The number of countries with this institutional knowledge and experience continues to dwindle.

xkcd has targeted humor, which I think GANs are not able to demonstrate (at least for now!)
The stable release is every 6 weeks, i.e. once in a month and a half. Only the newest version at the time is supported.

The qualified Ferrocene toolchain has "2 years of patch releases for select versions", so they have 2-year LTS releases, but that's a paid support plan.

Overall, the Rust community hasn't felt much need for official LTS releases.

I don't understand why this misconception is so widespread. Most inventory is tracked using seller specific FNSKU's. Ergo inventory is not comingled.

I did not know it was based on a short story!
I wonder how hard this would be. As a joke, I put your comment into Claude and asked for an XKCD comic. Surprisingly, it generated (a very bad) SVG image:

https://jumpshare.com/s/cBhNffK6aWZX5SwYP0YN

I asked it to instead generate a comic in text form and got the following:

Title: "The XKCD Paradox"

Panel 1: A stick figure is typing on a computer. Above them is a thought bubble: "I bet there's an XKCD about how there's always a relevant XKCD."

Panel 2: The screen shows a Google search result. The stick figure exclaims, "Huh, there isn't one. That's weird."

Panel 3: We see the inside of a Google data center. Servers are labeled "XKCD Generator AI." An alarm is flashing with the text "Paradox detected!"

Panel 4: A stick figure resembling Randall Munroe is shown frantically drawing at a desk. A speech bubble reads, "Must... draw... comic... about... always... having... relevant... comic..."

Panel 5: Back to the original stick figure, now looking at a new XKCD comic on their screen. The comic is titled "Meta-Relevance" and shows a recursive image of stick figures looking at computers.

Panel 6: A wide shot shows both the stick figure and the Randall Munroe character simultaneously saying, "Whew, balance restored."

Footnote at the bottom of the comic: "Plot twist: This comic was generated by an AI trying to convince you it wasn't generated by an AI."

This version plays with the meta-concept of XKCD's relevance, the idea of paradoxes in AI, and adds a layer of self-referential humor typical of XKCD. It also touches on the theme of AI-generated content trying to prove it's not AI-generated, adding an extra layer of cleverness to the concept.
Well, I may be ignorant, but the reality of the my relatives energy bill in Germany and the UK tends to agree with my ignorance. Maybe you are just smart enough to regurgitate the propaganda, but not enough to think for yourself.

Better to say Apple failed to lose. The court explicitly left open the question as to whether they are a monopoly. They just didn't provide any meaningful injunctions as a result of that case.
You mean, like, the Book of Kells and a nice stage production of Lysistrata, vs. a PowerPoint and Star Wars? Interesting.
The linked proof doesn't work when the floor is too steep.

I wrote about it here: https://haggainuchi.com/wobblytable.html

My preferred proof goes through a theorem of Dyson that any continuous real valued function on the sphere attains equal values on some square on a great circle.
Are you saying you don't think the GPL forbids attempting to redistribute with reduced rights, or you don't think offering a contract which does precisely that (in exchange for trademark consideration) constitutes an attempt?

> People don’t want to pay to fix things

This just isn't true, as long as there's repair shops out with a sizable customer base. The issue is companies do everything in their power to make it impossible for that service to exist. It also largely depends on the economy; If the economy is great, people throw their old stuff away and buy new stuff. If money is tight, they repair it, and if there's an economic collapse they let it stay broken. I wonder where we are?

Thank you! I didn’t mean to pitch; it was just a personal story I wanted to share.
Use your imagination. The counter-drone doesn't have to output the exact same energy profile as an attack helicopter, just close enough to trigger the anti-helo-drone's activation.

Examples: the counter-drone outputs only a specific frequency (the anti-helo drone isn't running a whole sound analysis, just a narrow range). It outputs that at much lower decibels (the anti-helo-drone just thinks the helo is farther away). It outputs that sound in bursts and directionally (the anti-helo-drone is only listening in a specific place).

Once found, the counter-drone dispatches a kill drone which can match the anti-helo drone's speed.

Sure all of these "hacks" will be countered by future versions of the anti-helo-drones, but that's kinda my whole point.
Every single thread has someone complaining about capitalism. It's childish, and more importantly, not interesting. We get it, capitalism bad, but communists produce even more e-waste.

I would imagine that the kinds of embedded systems like cars would probably benefit from Ada instead.

Not only is there of course SPARK, if one wants to do formal verification, Ada has a proven track record in things like military applications. Of course, passenger cars don't have quite the same level of care needed as military stuff (although a lot of care is still needed since cars are hundreds if not thousands of kilograms and can absolutely kill people), but I could still see Ada being useful even in the automotive industry.
Dumb question: why are creditors getting paid more than they are owed?
Yeah the code being open-source vs closed-source didn't have anything to do with the legal ruling here. The judge claimed that the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store are not competitors (LMFAO), and therefore Google can be held liable even if Apple wasn't. https://www.theverge.com/23959932/epic-v-google-trial-antitr...

(FWIW, the journalist who wrote both articles is ethically barred from reporting on Apple due to his wife being an Apple employee, but still apparently covers Google/Android, so... Take the slant of his coverage with a grain of salt.)
