The first one tipped over because a sensor failed. I suppose we don't know why this one did yet but why do these sorts of failures bring out the caveman in everybody suggesting completely giving up on the whole concept and doing something "dumb" that doesn't require control systems? Just because control systems feel scary and you might not personally know how to design them yourself doesn't mean they aren't great when they work. Falcon 9 lands upright pretty reliably but even in the early days of that when it wasn't working, people were saying they should give up and use a giant net or towers or something for it to dumbly fall into. It's like seeing a car crash and saying "Why don't we just have giant balloons around cars to absorb the impact when they crash or guide rails along the roads so they won't go off course if the driver falls asleep?". Yea we could but it's both cheaper and possible to do it smarter.

If you were writing software and it had a bug, you wouldn't throw out the whole thing and replace it with a spreadsheet, you'd fix the bug.
> Japan didn't have the men or resources to conquer China

Historically that doesn't take much. Having almost no men or resources didn't stop Nurhaci.

What was going wrong with the occupation?
Bell Labs was involved in the MIT Radiation Lab, which was a rival to the Manhattan Project in importance to the US war effort. They developed Radar and Radar control systems, in collaboration with the British.

One thing people don't realize is that we had anti-submarine aircraft that would fly themselves on autopilot using sea-scan radar to attack submarines, radar-guided anti-aircraft batteries that would automatically shoot down aircraft (the only thing the humans were doing is loading the shells), proximity-detecting shells that would explode when they got near a target, and many other amazingly high-tech weapons during WWII. Most of them came out of the Rad Lab and a few other places.

Solid-state electronics using semiconductors and masers were both explored at the Rad Lab but it was obvious that they would not be useful for creating weapons so they were set aside, but they were also taken back to institutions like bell for development post-war.
The German language demands a more precise and sober style, whereas English tolerates more sloppy expressions. One common technique to work around that is to just use English terms when there is no catchy German one. In German marketing, this is done all the time. So in your case, you are fine sticking to speed bump.

Btw: my favorite word for speed bump is the Dutch "drempel". It is quite onomatopoetic. My favorite term for speed bumps in German comes from Comedian Helge Schneider. He calls them "Teerwülste" (tar bulges). I don't think you find it being used, but it fits the German style very well as it is precise and sober.
Google should be able to say that I've had continuous access to my Gmail account since 2005 and therefore it's impossible for me to be under 18. Or 21.

Right?

All of a sudden, the internet is incapable of tracking me with that much fidelity. They don't know how old I am. Discord knows how old I am. I never told them my birthday.

This gets a big "hrrrrrrr. Durrrrrrr." From me.
Everything of this kind of protection can be used for surveillance
What's insane is that, in France, we have France Connect, which is exactly what you describe: a third-party authentication platform maintained by the government.

Lately, a new law just passed to force porn websites to check the age of visitors. I would have been fine with an authentication going through France Connect:

- the gov knows which website you went to, just like your DNS provider would, but it doesn't which content
- and the website knows which content you've watched but not who's watching.

Best of both worlds!

But no, we have to send a copy of our ID card to the website, which is INSANE because the website knows WHO you are and WHAT you're watching.

The opposite is true. The highest-margin stuff is services (like, to choose the obvious one, software). Frankly it seems pretty obvious to me why margins would tend to be lower for manufactured goods, especially commodity ones — you have more inputs besides labor, the primary one a service-oriented business has to worry about. There is a fairly sensible reason we don’t have those jobs.

I suppose you have in mind jobs like home health aides. But 1) we really do need a lot of them with an aging population 2) I’m not sure their lives would be improved by working in a textile mill instead.
I'm German myself. To me this looks like a category of problem where you can no longer translate the word in the literal sense, because chances are low that the consumer understands the word ("Bremsschwelle" or whatever you end up picking).

Wouldn't it make sense to rather think of a completely different analogy? One that is really well-known by the target audience? From what I understand, you are building an app that inhibits people from doomscrolling. That is a well-established "German" word, too. Using that, people immediately understand what you mean, rather than trying to follow a broken analogy.
Bodenschwelle is used, at least it’s common in Austria.
The quoted statement is weaker than what you're reading it as, I think. It's not a statement that emitted assembly code is guaranteed to conform to LLVM syntax, it's just noting that (1) at present, (2) for supported targets of the rustc implementation, the emitted assembly uses LLVM syntax.

Non-LLVM compilers like gccrs could support platforms that LLVM doesn't, which means the assembly syntax they emit would definitionally be non-LLVM. And even for platforms supported by both backends, gccrs might choose to emit GNU syntax.

Note also that using a non-builtin assembler is sometimes necessary for niche platforms, like if you've got a target CPU that is "MIPS plus custom SIMD instructions" or whatever.
I disagree with the gp; Numerical Recipes should be the first one to consult simply because its breadth of coverage gives you a very good starting point. Then checkout other books based on your needs.

Not used it, but I doubt its a one prompt and your finished workflow.

Words seem to suck at describing 3d objects, especially complex ones. Its why free body diagram and blueprints with specific measurements are needed for machinists and for redrawing lost cad parts.

Im skeptical AI has tackled CAD, or that it can handle the full workload of say designing a MEMS device or stress analysis of your part and optimization for stress loads.

These are all tasks a 3D designer/engineer will handle.

> The environment they were working in was pretty remarkable.

Yes. The heyday of big corporate research labs was roughly from WWII until the mid-1980s. There was a big open space for pushing things that seemed possible all the way through to commercial products. From synthetic rubber to transistors, the basics had been done but there was plenty of development ahead. There were lots of things which were possible but hadn't been done yet. Sometimes it was too early, and only a non cost effective demo resulted. Sometimes there was a big payoff. Overall,
corporate R&D had a positive payoff in that era.

I was lucky enough to visit or deal with many of the big corporate labs of that era. They were quite varied in outlook. The Bell Labs people were telco guys; their approach to networking fit the Bell System centralized model. The PARC people got personal computing and local area networking working, but somehow were obsessed with discrete-event simulation as an application. They didn't foresee how it would all be used. The SRI International people were too into abstraction, and kind of hand-wavey. I once tried using string substitution to remove "virtual" and "abstract" from one of their documents, and it got better. The IBM guys had the coolest location, a glass box on a hill overlooking a park. IBM happened to exit the disk drive business the day I visited. That place had invented the disk drive.
Their day was over. The Ford Scientific Research Lab people were theoreticians who were also car guys. The back side of the building had a long, long row of garage spaces with tools and lifts, and everybody had a car to which they were doing something. Their in-car fiber-optic network was forty years too early.

Common factors?

- Steady funding. Not many ups and downs.

- A profitable parent company with a stable business model.

- Good support. Unlike academia, where grad students tried to do machining, badly, the corporate labs had competent people to build stuff.

- Not too rigorous cost accounting. I was once told by a manager of a major lab that "your accounting system is too good", because it kept people on defined tasks.

- A focus on good demos. Production was the responsibility of others. R&D did not ship products.

And god does it hurt to read it - one walks away wishing we didn't have names, from a coding standpoint, given the painful variety of names on the planet. I don't suppose there's any open source equiv. of time that one can include to make it all easier (ie, given the old classic of Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time Zones etc)
Jumping in and trying to make sense of a recent research paper is unlikely to be productive unless you are already familiar with the field.

When reading the introduction, take note of the citations for earlier work and look them up. You may need to go back 10+ years of papers in order to progress with a recent paper.

The foundations to current best practices appeared in papers published 20-30 years ago. Often people waste considerable time and effort reinventing stuff that was documented 20+ years ago. I won't go into giving examples because that would require slaughtering herds of sacred cows and inviting a stampede of trolls.
Minimal launch cross-section is equally achievable for an oblong landing craft that is designed to fall on a predetermined side, with landing gear deployed to support it in the horizontal configuration.

Imagine a truck with a jet engine that lands on the rear end, then falls onto its wheels, because it's designed to operate when positioned horizontally.
You don't need to restrict it. Just educate people about its effect. That's the least you can do
Sanskrit can be written in the Devanagari script (and these days most commonly is). But it does not have an attested native script <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit#Writing_system>.

But still, so long as it’s a script in Unicode, it should all work fine.

I'm not sure I follow, does this imply fibrinolytics are dangerous drugs by default for the elderly population that tends to get strokes? Are they just dangerous in general?

I'm talking in generalizations of course. Although I did a quick google search and it seems you are asking roughly 1.5-2x going rates in Germany even for experienced devs. I'm sure your more aware of market rates in your locale than me but it feels like I'm paying a premium at this price. For me, it would have to match up with some specialized skills or some 'reason' to justify it.

The larger view I hold, that many don't agree with, is a) if I've already decided to go remote and b) my budget is $50k then c) I could hire a small team in India/Asia. I've personally never had problems sourcing talent in those locales with my types of workloads; which I admit are rather basic (web apps, ios, devops, etc). I'm not sure if that would be the case if I was building something hard like a new database or something.
Just say your name is NuII with two capital "i"s.

> Which libraries in widespread use know how to detect all of their possible bugs due to invariant violations and report them as explicit error values?

We're talking about the cases that are already being caught somehow (bounds checks, unwraps, ...). It isn't necessary to detect all possible invariant violations to do something else instead of panic, and it suffices to have the language represent those failures without aborting the program.
I follow what’s happening with Canadian drugs / money laundering pretty closely. The article I linked isn’t a random newsletter site, it’s from one of Canada’s top investigative journalists.

I'm unsure to what degree his public opinions have flip-flopped. Previously, Elon was fairly apolitical, and was concerned about global warming. I've never seen him announce that he's no longer concerned about global warming. He's acquired new concerns about the so-called "woke mind virus" etc., but he wasn't exactly known for political progressivism in the past, so I don't count that as a flip-flop.
It is the bane of my existence that in German you cannot just put things in places. The word you would use for "put" depends on the physical relation of the objects involved.

Is it lying down ultimately? Hanging on? Standing upright?

And things don't sit on other things unless they literally have a chair.

Maybe it's not my children but the constant dealing with the German language that perpetually makes me feel exhausted.
Note that becoming an international standard (via ISO, ECMA, IETF, or whatever) isn't necessary or sufficient to avoid dialects.

If the Rust language specification is precise enough to avoid disagreements about intended behavior, then multiple compilers can be written against that spec and they can all be expected to correctly compile Rust source code to equivalent output. Even if no international standards body has signed off on it.

On the other hand, if the spec is incomplete or underspecified, then even an ANSI/ISO/IETF stamp of approval won't help bring different implementations into alignment. C/C++ has been an ISO standard for >30 years and it's still difficult to write non-trivial codebases that can compile without modification on MSVC, GCC, Clang, and ICC because the specified (= portable) part of the language is too small to use exclusively.

Or hell, look at JSON, it's tiny and been standardized by the IETF but good luck getting consistent parsing of numeric values.

There was a few month window where ChatGPT was capable of giving you the reasons and rationale of how it came to a completely wrong answer, and then proceeded to explain why it was wrong. It was quite interesting and in most cases understandable, giving you the opportunity to give the additional context needed to succeed in the future.

Then for whatever reason it was nerfed. Same as the original chain of thought output where for a few days it was accidentally exposing the hardcoded guardrails OpenAI had included. You would actually see it saying “Making sure my answer doesn’t support any stereotypes or include information that could fuel discrimination” and then re-writing factual statements in the output if it happened to touch upon something remotely controversial.
> It seems to me the business side of companies takes over the entire culture of the company and everyone needs to think in terms of customer needs and whatever makes profit

Actually, there is a case of this in China where (previously) both Unicode and the Chinese standard (GBK) was unable to encode Ma Cheng's (马𩧢) name. If you have Android, you might even see this in action (since that Noto still does not encode this one).

Currently, the solution going forward is to restrict what characters are acceptable as names.

I've never seen Elon claim he's close to perfect. To the contrary, I can remember specific instances of him being pretty open about his flaws and mistakes.

Recently he seems to struggle to admit he's made a mistake, but I think all of us would, given his public profile. Think about it -- currently at least half the world hates him; if he admits he's been screwing up, almost everyone will hate him (his former allies will hate him for being weak/traitorous). It's just human nature to double down in those circumstances, I think.

This can happen in random circumstances. A long time ago Amazon did not allow me to ship to my home address. By trial and error I found out that if I changed a specific o in my address to something else, it suddenly worked. There are no special reserved or offensive words in the address, I've never found out why this was. It had been fixed since.

Also I own a domain name with a catch all email address. If I sign up for websites, I often use the company name in the email adress to track leaks or spam. They sometimes don't allow this.
yes, thus their point. It's probably not the sweetener or sugar in the coffee, it's that folks who add sweetener are also more likely to have a lifestyle that gives them type 2.

I think the question above was about side effects, is there a reason to believe they are any different with and without ADHD?

Even regarding the main effect, my understanding is that it's "concentration boost" in both cases, just seen more socially acceptable for people who lack concentration in the first place. Is there any study that would demonstrate the difference?
What a bizarre article to publish in 2025. I think this is partially or entirely LLM-generated; some of the details are inaccurate.

Debian kfreebsd was never considered a stable Debian architecture, and was only included in official releases for Debian 6 and 7 (released in 2011 and 2013, respectively). The project was declared fully dead in July 2023, and had been basically inactive for years before that.
