Never having done anything aviation simulation related I've never properly understood this.

At least for a simple camera I've done that with something that resembled a spherical coordinate system (although maybe not following the usual conventions) and it didn't experience gimbal lock. Effectively the axes rotate with you. It's also very intuitive to work with the code, although probably not very efficient compared to other approaches (but hey it's a camera it's not like there's 10k of them). Once you have the camera orientation you can derive a corresponding rotation matrix to apply to the scene geometry.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is if there's any reason other than efficiency not to do something like that when modeling craft and the like?

Germany relies mostly on oil, coal and gas for energy production [1]. Shutting down reactors that produces energy at a very low carbon cost (especially since a huge part of that was building the reactors) means you keep using fossil fuels. At the time of writing, Germany produces power at 432gCO2eq/kWh [2] (compared to 169 for UK, 13 to 37 in Sweden, 42 in France, 309 to 600 in Italy and 759 in Poland).

In practice, Nuclear was replaced with renewable but fossil fuel usage didn't go down.

> but they completely suck at use case "this one guy wants to come back home from a concert at 2AM".

Hmm, last week I was out til about 4am on Friday night, then got a 24 hour bus home. That's what I generally do when I'm out late.

> This means you need some personal vehicle anyway

Unless you're not drinking at this 2am concert, you're probably not using a personal car.

Buses are actually quite _good_ for this use case, in that they're much cheaper to run 24/7 than trams and heavy rail (whose higher capacity is largely useless late at night, and, particularly in the case of heavy rail, really _need_ maintenance downtime).

Australia. We have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world due to high UV levels.

“Skin cancer causes more deaths than transport accidents every year in Australia.”

I can’t leave the house for more than like five minutes for big chunks for at least half the year without having to smother myself in sunscreen so for large parts of the year I just don’t go outside during like 9AM-6PM.

I fell asleep once in the car with the window open by mistake, I was out for like 45 minutes. A decade later that arm is still an entirely different color to my other one. Wild, one of the worst burns I’ve ever had.

edit

And to think, that’s die from a skin cancer, not merely develop it. So it actually blows that claim out of the water for Australia by a way larger margin than I initially thought.

2 out of 3 Australians will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

> I work at a place where there are no keys. To unlock a door you have to use your smart phone. Imagine if they did that for lights. I rent an apartment with no physical switches and they force you to use your smart phone. Infuriating. I think if you were rational you would know I’m talking about smart phones in place of physical switches not smart phones paired in addition to physical switches in situations where you have no choice to use it.

I don't think that's so rational — I assumed that you were talking about smartphones in addition to existing switches and other tools, rather than completely replacing them. I have genuinely never heard of such a thing, and if you've had to experience that, then I agree with you that that is an insane concept that doesn't need to exist.

France hasn't payed subsidies since 1981. EDF has payed a dividend nearly each year since then. EDF made $11bn profit last year and $10bn the year before. France energy prices have been reduced this year. Germany pays much higher prices.
The theory expresses by an slim state that does only a few things, but does not interfere with businesses.

My take is that the largest beneficiaries from the neocon era evolved into the network state oligarchs.
Yup (the scrapped Alstom DARTs). But it happens everywhere; for a start we weren't the only users of that problematic Alstom model. You see a lot of old train rolling stock around, but there's a hell of a survivorship bias; a really alarming number of train models last less than a decade in service in any given operator.

You'd _think_ this wouldn't happen, because reliability is absolutely the number one thing that operators care about, and they're usually willing to pay a premium to get it (the alternative being to pay to keep their reliable 40 year old units in service). But the industry's surprisingly bad at delivering it.
I mean, keys are always in the place where you expect them to be, so what is the challenge here? (Yes, too lazy to read the article).
The thing I don't get is that the fascists running the state still have the support of the people. It's amazing to see a country that loves seeing themselves as "kings of democracy" so much, while at the same time proving over and over again that they don't really understand democracy.
But wouldn't you learn if you actually have to enter and test that code, even if it's LLM generated, every day? Maybe you learn bad models, which can happen from SO as well, but you do learn. I'm more worried that the juniors won't have this opportunity anymore, or rather, they won't be needed anymore. So when I retire, what? Unless AI gets better and replaces everybody, then it won't matter at all what and how you learned.
The problem with this is that we can't get rid of the baggage of higher and higher level of libraries and languages that exist to accommodate humans.

I agree that it makes sense to use these currently but IMHO the ultimate programming will be human readable code-free, instead the AI will create a representation of the algorithm we need and will execute around it.

Like having an idea, for example if you need to program a robot vacuum cleaner you should be able to describe how you describe it to behave and the AI will create an algorithm(an idea, like "let's turn when bump into a wall then try again") and constantly tweak it and tend it. We wouldn't be directly looking at the code the AI wrote, instead we can test it and find edge cases that a machine maybe wouldn't predict(i.e. the cat sits on the robot and blocking the sensors).

"Neoliberalism" is Reaganomics, a series of beliefs about the world:

* The government is generally the problem [with our economy], not the solution to our [economic] problems.

* Low taxes, low regulation, and low barriers to trade favor positive-sum economic development.

* The market will perform most regulatory tasks for us out of enlightened self interest.

* Ricardian specialization in international trade is to the benefit of all.

* Money made by the wealthy will trickle down to everyone else's quality of life.

* The Laffer Curve is self evident and we are self-evidently always on the right side of it; Cutting taxes will increase receipts.

Conservatism is highly compatible with this worldview, but it was embraced by liberals as well after the country re-elected Reagan in a landslide. Clinton's "Third Way" portrayed itself as an alternative to traditional Republican and Democratic concerns that was socially progressive but promoted a slightly softened version of this economic theory.
Some version of or equivalent to the Third Way has basically been in control of the Democratic party ever since due to its superior ability to fundraise for campaigns, due to the slow death of the labor movement, and due to the death of the dream of international communism among fringe intellectuals.

In an attempt to differentiate itself, conservatives tilted hard, hard right on social politics (if not always policy), and brought the economic policies to an extreme that would have been nonsensical a generation earlier.

Most people who didn't spend the last two or three decades living off of returns on their investments, have been frustrated with the failed promises of neoliberalism, and it is losing traction with liberals; Or rather, [neo]liberals are losing traction with the electorate.
Renewables are very cheap if you only consider LCOE and not the systemic costs - which is what people like Zoadian love to do. Just ignore all those grid and backup costs. The grid fees alone have been increased substantially and Germany pays out an additional 7 cent per KWh through a fund that is not shown in the electricity bills anymore.
> Also, nuclear reactors don't deplete water for cooling so the premise of this article doesn't make sense. It goes from water to steam, to rain, back to water.

The premise of the article is pretty clear: It's a statistic about how much raw material was extracted by the industry. Nothing more, nothing less.

There's also the number for agricultural consumption. But somehow we don't need a huge disclaimer about the water cycle to prevent hurting people who like agriculture.
The correct solution is to make India income-tax free. The corporate middle class that pays income tax is also the main driver of discretionary consumption. Pursuing personal tax compliance in a country such as India is futile.

bicycles don't work when the user is sufficiently drunk, as one might be, when leaving a concert at 2am or later. it's not a competition, the beauty of living in a city full of people is having a half dozen ways to get where you are going, instead of being limited to one or two.
And an additional (!) 6-7.5 cent per KWh is payed by the "Klima und Transformationsfonds" to the producers of renewable energy.
Wow, I think you've just become iconic to dozens of us (self included). Congrats on taking life's lemons and turning them into sweet victory.

I saw in another comment you were able to make yourself work with complete focus (8 hour+ days 7 days a week). I have two questions --

In hindsight, if you had only worked 5 hour days for twice as many months do you think the project still could have succeeded? Or do you feel that there's some momentum or other factor at play here?

Nextly, are there any discords or other networking resources that you found crucial to the process? I saw you mentioned a publisher. Personally I'm more motivated when I have people depending on me (or eager to see what I'm making for example).
The US is lacky to keep large forests on public lands (unlike the UK and many EU coutnries). When most of the land is privately owned it's etremely difficuls to reverse deforestation.

There is actually no trespass law in Massachusetts for unimproved land, even if posted with signs. So we theoretically have "freedom to roam" in wilderness areas, even if privately owned. However, nobody I've ever talked to seems to know this, including various police officers, and so there seems to be a 'folk law' understanding that you cannot freely roam in such places.
Is that enforceable?
The programs written by hand where really simple and like a third of the exam. (Edit: Programming assignments were done on computers of course.)

I think it is good as an exercise. Just like manual assembler to machine code transcription is good to have part of a course in computer architecture, like a small part.

I regret doing so much of my studies with the least effort approach. In the end I would probably have saved time if I tried to learn like the teachers tried to force me to. Study during the whole course and not just the last week. Try to understand the concept instead of studying for the exam. Etc.
> add additional time to wait at the bus stop because buses don't come on demand but at spaced intervals. Maybe once an hour or half hour.

I mean, this is enormously dependent on how busy the route or routes is. A once an hour route is _very_ infrequent. Every 10 minutes isn't unusual at peak times and of course multiple routes may work for you. I sometimes go for a drink with friends on the other side of the city after work; at rush hour, there's an almost continuous stream of suitable buses.
Because a proof verifier has a fixed complexity, regardless of the proofs it needs to check. Also, a minimal proof verifier is of almost trivial complexity. More advanced and performant verifiers can bootstrap from the minimal one by provably reducing to it.

Since you’re being somewhat brigaded by the “everything local!” mob, I just wanna say that this all sounds completely reasonable to me.

As of five years ago when I last used it:

Bitbake doesn't model all changes that affect packages, so after certain changes, some packages that should be rebuilt, aren't. It is especially prone to happen when changing Bitbake variables (example: MACHINE_FEATURES), and these are a quite common way to change things about the image being built.
States can’t just take over Federal land. That’s like saying Microsoft is going to step in and keep Google Hangouts running.
I completely understand this point and I think it is very valid. However, part of what makes Germany German is having a socially oriented economy. For example, having a pension system based on solidarity, without which a German custom like having a beer at the local pub could become difficult if you don't have a social net to protect you in your old age.

Now the question is: can this work without immigrants? If Germany's population shrinks, you can also kiss the culture goodbye.
