That’s not the law. Vehicles take turns at an intersection - there’s no total queuing order based on arrival time.

No, 'taking turns' is not codified in the law or mentioned in the DMV handbook.

If the Waymo stopped at the intersection after the bicycle stopped at the intersection, or if the Waymo's path was blocked and it was thus not entering the intersection, the bicycle would not be required to yield.

At a contended intersection, it should never be the case that two vehicles coming from the same lane take consecutive turns.

Are you sure about that? Consider the sequence of events in this hypothetical scenario:

1. The lorry arrives (from the North) first and stops at the stop line.

2. The lorry begins turning at the intersection, and is completely past the stop line but still in the intersection.

3. The bicycle arrives (from the North) and stops at the stop line.

4. The Waymo arrives (from the South) and stops at the stop line.

5. The Waymo waits at the stop line because, if it were to proceed, its path would intersect with the turning lorry's path.

6. The bicycle proceeds into the intersection, following the lorry.

How would the cyclist's actions in this scenario violate something in California Vehicle Code sections 21800 to 21809?

Haha that was the goal!! Glad you like it
Real time is about worst case time, not average.

The classic test for a real time OS is simple. You write a program that waits from an interrupt from an input pin. When the input is raised, there's an interrupt. That activates a user process. The user process turns on an output pin.

You hook this up to a signal generator and a scope. Feed in a square wave. See the delay between input and output. If there are outliers, delays much larger than the normal delay, the system is doing real time properly at all.

If it passes that test, run some other program at a lower priority than the one that's monitoring the input pin. The results should not change. The other program should reliably be preempted.

QNX could pass that test, at least when I last used it.

Note that this requirement conflicts with many modern CPU and OS features, such as sleep modes, power-saving under light load, and paging. Classically, you didn't care, because the control CPU used far less power than whatever large piece of equipment it was controlling. But for things that run on batteries, it's a problem.

Something that's given trouble: "system management mode". Some industrial computers used code running in system management mode to help out with some peripherals, such as making flash memory look like a hard drive. This time-stealing shows up in the interrupt latency test. QNX techs used to quietly have a blacklist of embedded computers to avoid.
How do you turn on airplane mode when that's actually what you want to do?
I'd say that querying data from S3 is not ideal when low-latency queries are required. Generally, there could be a few roundtrip requests to fetch metadata (JSON, Avro) and data (Parquet) files, which may lead to around 1s or so latency. However, we have caching on our roadmap (it could be just a simple TTL for the fetched data or some more sophisticated caching depending on the synced & queried data)

Sustainability: The Tyranny of the 21st Century

https://newdiscourses.com/2021/10/sustainability-tyranny-21s...

Sustainability is going to be the buzzword of the century. Everywhere we turn, we hear about sustainable practices in business and industry, sustainable foods and agriculture, sustainable energy, and so on. Businesses and governments sign on to “Sustainable Development Goals,” and so civil responsibility is framed in terms of this seemingly simple idea: sustainability. What does sustainability entail, though? What informs it? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay walks through Herbert Marcuse’s New Leftism of the 1960s and 1970s and explains how sustainability has become Marcuse’s “New Sensibility.” In other words, sustainability is the new way of thinking about the world so that we can have liberation, which is to say Communism. Join James in this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast to explore this idea at its ominous roots.

Yes, I believe that in the distant future humans will look back on the late 20th and early 21st centuries and be appalled that people were ever allowed to operate cars like this. It will be like how we think about ancient practices of human sacrifice or gladiatorial combat.

Agreed here.

8 out of 10 people on both sides wouldn't know what happens to the price of a bond when it's yield increases/decreases, let alone what happens to the price of a consumer product when tariffs are attached to it.

My theory is that this election was won through a combination of economic timing due to COVID/inflation, and the left providing perpetual unhinged social media material.
Companies have to have at least some minimum registration where they conduct enough business.
The cause of higher prices was the spending... From Trump and COVID to Biden and the infrastructure bill. The war in Ukraine which drove up food prices and oil prices. Then the Saudis not necessarily going along with the Biden Admins requests for oil.

The thinking goes that Trump and the GOP will gut the Federal Govt and the spending with it. Then Trump will give Ukraine to Putin solving the food growth and export problems with Ukraine. Then MBS in Saudi Arabia will be more than happy to accomodate requests for more oil.

All three will reduce inflation and lower prices. Who knows, it could go so far that four years from now voters are complaining about deflation.

It's probably me but at least I was able to get it to install :)

This is a rant I’ve had in my head forever, so thanks for posting this. A lot of people use the proof that the halting problem is undesirable to make some deep philosophical point, like this one. But the actual proof is so disappointing and non-philosophical that I wonder if anyone making these grand statements has ever read it. It just invents a program which outwits the halting detector by doing the opposite of what it would otherwise say.

Its like, if you met the smartest person in the world, and you asked them “will you answer no to this question” and then no matter what they said you laughed in their face and said hah, guess you’re not so smart, are you?

And THAT is why you think we don’t live in heaven?

Like, OP says that because of this proof we can’t run HALT() on a program that assets the Goldbach conjecture. What? That’s entirely orthogonal from the proof of the undecidability of the halting program, unless one of the primes has embedded a trick logic question into itself somehow. There’s nothing stopping there from being a “HALT_FOR_EVERY_PROGRAM_EVER_EXCEPT_THAT_ONE_TRICK_PROGRAM”. There you go, you’re back in heaven again!
Who needs throughput? Server software, but Linux is already dominant there and everyone's happy. For everything else, including desktop and mobile operating systems realtime sounds like a good idea.
> Yep. The right philosophy is to always put the allocation and deallocation code in the same language.

And on the same side of the API. Especially in Rust, he who allocates is responsible for deallocation. Rust's model likes that symmetry.

This example looks like someone going to considerable trouble to create a footgun, then shooting themself with it. More likely, this example exists because they're using some C library with terrible memory semantics, and this is a simple example to illustrate a problem they had with a badly designed real library.
If they are using multi-signature or some other setup you may need to kidnap a lot of people. So it does not necessarily require increasing physical security.
I don't understand why people still use Windows; especially after the whole Recall debacle.
I remember getting some LG phone in maybe 2007 and being excited because I read you could write 3rd party apps and games for it. Then I tried reading the BREW developer docs and trying the emulator, which were both abysmal. Then I read that just to try an app on my phone I would need to pay hundreds of dollars (IIRC it was $400) to get it signed.

That totally killed my desire to develop for my flip phone.
I don't think you can 1:1 compare those stats.

Most people just wouldn't have the time to travel as far by bike as they do by car, even if they wanted to. They'd take some other form of transit for long drives.

Car drivers do 13500 miles/year on average, even at a very sporty 20mi/h per (average!) a cyclist would have to ride full 29 days/year non-stop to match that.

Thus, a better measure would be accidents/hour of operation. I bet most avid cyclists do < 1000 miles/year and few do more than 3000 and that would mostly close the gap in death/hour of use.
Did you follow plans for your homemade transmitters? Or if not, have you written it up? I would definitely be interested in making some.
It would be nice if I could donate my front yard to a community garden. I would not have the time or the physical ability to maintain it. Myself, brass is actually easier that way, but if others are willing to grow and maintain crops there than I think that would be a fantastic use of the space.
The main issue is the models you need to do the job are too big for most consumers, even people with nice video cards. You'll need a couple L40S GPUs at minimum. Maybe a few H100s more realistically.

So do you want to buy tens of thousands of dollars in GPUs or do you want to rent them second-by-second? Most people will choose the latter. I understand you don't trust the infrastructure and that's reasonable. If self-hosting was viable it would be more popular.

S3 is a protocol understood by "everyone". If you're on AWS, as many are, it's basically the only natural choice. But a number of cloud providers, and a bunch of self-hostable software offer an S3 interface.

Clickhouse on local NVMe is one possible solution, but then you are married to that solution. An S3 interface is more universal and allows you to mix and match your tools, even though this comes at some expense.
Similar thing almost happened in a small town I used to live in. A local teen had accumulated a bunch of crypto, probably bragged about it somewhere online, and there was a group of half a dozen or so teens from another state who traveled to our town with plans to kidnap the local teen and force him to give them his crypto. Someone tipped off the local sheriff, who intercepted and arrested the out of state teens before they could actually kidnap the local teen.
Reading this and replying on a 2014 IPad Air. About 70% of the sites I goto work just fine. Oddly, about 1/2 of GitHub works. Old.reddit works, FB is horribly broke. So it’s clearly a resource thing. The more complicated the Javascript, the worse things run.

So it’s not only the resources needed by page, but that older devices end up in landfills.
Private chats aren't E2E. But anyhow, why do you think you were restricted based on specific keywords? And how does that restriction look like? Can you please check your access with @SpamBot ? Because in Telegram, if you PM someone, they have a big red button that'll block you and report you for spam - and Telegram often temporarily restricts accounts for reported unsolicited PMs.

Oh, and the title is misleading, there's no such thing done on the client side for sure.

I don't think that "skin in the game" means what you think it means.
So, just to kick this off: I wrote an eBPF disassembler and (half-hearted) emulator in Rust and I also found it a pleasant language to do parsing-type stuff in. But: I think the author cuts against their argument when they manage to necessitate a macro less than 1/6th of the way into their case study. A macro isn't quite code-gen, but it also doesn't quite feel like working idiomatically within the language, either.

Again: not throwing shade. I think this is a place where Rust is genuinely quite strong.

Toyota Baltic Aktsiaselts is an EU company and it has a fake ‘beneficial owner’. But clearly some entity, or series of entities, must actually own it.

I imagine the ambulance trip is registred at the hospital at arrival in some procedure and then billed the patient in some automatic manor.

I don't understand why they believed in such high attenuation numbers.

They quote a book that the public at large (including me) can not check for the 22dB/cm/Mhz number.

The next best quote is the 8.3 dB/cm/Mhz quote. That article is available to the public:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1560344/pdf/nihms94...

However I don't see any expression claiming a linear frequency dependence of attenuation up to 10 MHz.

> the number people will tell you in conversation.

Is very vague. Do your own research, find actual measurement data, don't extrapolate a few sub MHz measurements out to 10 Mhz, especially not if the error bars become ludicrously big.

Since I can't find the quoted frequency coefficient for attenuation I look at the possible candidates in that article: there's Figure 11, Table 1 and Table 3.

My gut feeling tells me they used table 3:

frequency in MHz | Longitudinal attenuation in Nepers per meter

0.272 | 14 +/- 17

0.548 | 53 +/- 43

0.840 | 70 +/- 28

I suspect they discarded the middle frequency because of the large error bar, so they are left with

Mhz | Np per m

0.272 | 14 +/- 17

0.840 | 70 +/- 28

the difference in frequency is 0.568 Mhz

so the difference in attenuation is then 56 +/- 45 Np per m. Yes the standard deviation is almost as large as the value. Let's see if we arrive close to their supposedly "quoted assumed linear frequency dependence of 8.3 dB / cm / Mhz "

2 x (56 Np per m) / ( 0.568 MHz x 100 cm per m x log(10) Np per 10 dB)

= 8.56 dB / cm / Mhz

close to their 8.3 "quote" which is really their own deduction, or whomever "derived" it in "conversation".

If you calculate the error bar: 8.56 +/- 6.88 dB / cm / MHz.

What they independently measured (props! actually good science):

11.18 dB / cm / MHz

Thats 2.62 / 6.88 = 0.38 standard deviations away. Thats not new science in the sense of hypothesis rejection, but a valuable extra datapoint refining the literature of values.

The likelihood of measuring a value 0.38 or more standard deviations away from the expected value would be: 70.4 % so not very surprising at all. Basically in conformance with the 8.56 +/- 6.88 dB / cm / MHz value.
