Not OP, but: glass with metal lids and silicon seals, or glass... with hard plastic lids. :|

I also keep my rices and legumes in bamboo boxes.

That's kinda spot on (maybe a little more early Steve Reich than Glass), and the disappearance switching to another actor was clever (at least it looped!), but they could have dragged it out another 8 hours.

Also, King Missile took a funny jab at Glass, too:

Someone didn’t read the article. Hint: it involves tic-tacs.

That’s 2^sizeof(uint)

Dancer in the Dark just went too far, meaning it eventually threw me like one of those mechanical bull things. As I watched it, I had such a powerful reaction to her exploitation that I was emotionally wrecked, but about 80% of the way through, her agony became so extreme that I ... started laughing. He just went to far, and I was like, OK, we just broke suspension of disbelief, and now her suffering is so extreme that it feels like someone is daring him to see how far he can go. Like in "Mother" (film): it went from tortuous to off-the-fucking-rails in a really funny exciting way. It didn't help that Kristen Wigg was an executioner, because I already think she's hilarious.

Agreed: like they can't even hold a camera still? Camera operators figured that out in the goddamn 1910's! I think it would have more interesting outcomes if experienced and established directors applied the rules as opposed to upstarts and students. You have to master the basics before you can be a Mondrian or Rothko.

How can something be over-hyped when practically no one knows what it is, and it is mainly directed at students and practitioners of cinema? It's not like it is crypto or day trading or something, where it is plastered across every square inch of media and billions of dollars are spent shilling pyramid schemes. I'd call that over-hyped. But an esoteric cinema style that a small minority appreciate isn't really. Taste is taste. At least you tried it, good on you.

Have you watched any? If you like cinema, you might dig it. Or not. I can see how it is hard to appreciate just "director+camera" if all you've ever watched are hollywood blockbusters. "Julien Donkey-Boy" is a really good starting point. Some really creepy scenes with Werner Herzog and Spud from Trainspotting.

It depends. If you want to study maths, yes. If you want to be a programmer:

[status, value] = add(a, b);

Is much more unparalleled-ly (?) readable from the perspective of how a computer actually operates. In reality, this:

uint c = (uint)a + (uint)b; // (to make that other guy happy)

is really:

c = (a + b) % (sizeof(uint));

in "C", which is less readable but far more accurate.

Is the world finally realizing that "a + b" actually returns two values: pass/fail and the value if pass?

"a + b = c;" is a fundamentally flawed operation from a computer architecture perspective.

Except with this strategy you only ever get a topical experience, and you only ever expose your customers to your topical experience. If it is a hobby to provide enjoyment in life, go for it; if not, don't be scared to put in a little elbow grease and learn something, otherwise you won't make a dent in the SAM/TAM of products that did put in the time.

Is this a quote from "Silicon Valley"? Sounds like something Bachman would say between bong hits.

I've seen so many HN posts on "hey look at this silly language thing" that I'm immune.

Oh I see. It takes 2mg of fentanyl to kill a person so I bet that much ends up on dirty lab equipment.

Yeah the rest of the article said that it is cheaper to make than most opioids so I guess it is just the walmartification of illegal drugs: fast and cheap and shoddy.

Notice how Barnett has zero empathy when he thought it was just an Austin thing, then did an about face after the subsequent deaths in Kyle.

However I still don’t understand the point of lacing drugs with fentanyl. As a drug dealer you make more money with living clients, right?

That's it? <300 words and one quote? What a disappointment. I was expecting some analogue takedown of OP's claims to pseudoscience, instead of a not-even-long-enough-to-be-called-a-rant vapid puff piece.

Do you hear yourself? You are admitting you have to stop for an hour any time you do a long trip, and apologetically claiming you can find something useful to do in that time. What kind of bs propaganda did you swallow? When I’m doing a road trip I don’t want to add one hour minumum per every few hundred miles, assuming I can find a charging station. Range limitations are the second reason why people don’t buy EVs, behind required home infrastructure expenses (a hidden one time tax).

My partner and I both drive cars that are almost 20 years old, so do our parents. Oil changes, tires, and a monthly fill up for $60 or trip fillup of $120 for about 700 miles. That’s it.

Todays EVs are like cell phones from 1985 with styling that appeals to the Pokémon generation.

So if I were a contractor, and I was billing ridiculous prices for common items from a government agency that couldn't object due to no bid contracts... basically milking an organization for my own profits... what would you call that government agency?

Take your time.

Or to put in another way, NASA only had two shuttle disasters.

Two is such a small number, right?

Funny now numbers can be used.

However I can see the glaringly obvious omission in my post that NASA, in its near 70 years of existence has had numerous casualties and explosions. But that's literally my gist: massive checklists, standards, and regulations are a result of that.

I think RQ3 is interesting. It is the only proposition in the paper that references crowd-sourcing. I find that interesting because that immediately lends itself to ... god i hate myself ... ChatGPT. We've been asking GPT to write code, but has anyone asked it to debug code?

That is the 180-degree opposite of Occam's Razor.

> Cutting edge R&D is expensive, difficult, and prone to failure. Just look at all of say Google’s failed green energy etc initiatives.

Exactly. I find it ignorant when people claim NASA is some kind of cash-cow that drags its feet to get more money. If NASA played fast and lose (move fast and break things), people would die and shit would explode, and they'd get crucified by congress. Private companies play the risk game because they don't have to meet the same extremely high bar of safety that a government org does. I'm not saying there's some waste, but it is a complex process for a reason. Does it go too far, perhaps: I've fallen into ISO hell before, and it can be mind numbing, but maybe I'm just not smart enough to be the person reading those docs.

That's literally what I said: those words are "encouraging" it.

I'm glad it is not just me who thinks I need to "thank" chatGPT or encourage it, e.g.: "Great, now do .... " "Great, now do ... ".

What is interesting is that these may pass a Turing test, but they sure don't pass the cringe test.

They are so insipid and obvious ... and seemingly canned ... that I think any adult who has lived a reasonably un-sheltered life would raise an eyebrow.

Once I learned how to use STMCubeMX, I never went back to Arduino. Comparing STM boards with Arduino in terms of price, RAM, Flash, GPIO, analog, ... and R4 looks like Steve Buscemi doing the "hello fellow kids" meme. I think the big win for Arduino was the ecosystem and simplicity, but the big embedded players have invested significantly in this space with tons of code examples compatible with the arduino add ins (STM boards all have the arduino header).

ESP doesn't scale. Once you start with STM, you can switch to much more advanced boards with ease, ESP doesn't have the range.

Then how do you explain the massive number of evictions and hockey-stick rise in rent prices from 2010-2020 without blaming greedy landlords?

"Oopsie doopsie rents fell up?"

And old homes are shit. Terrible plumbing. Terrible electrical. Terrible water. Terrible energy efficiency. Terrible seismic structural reinforcement.

Regulations exist to mitigate tragedies.

Small CNNs can be used for BLE channel hopping and body detection.

I thought it was helpful. Got a better link?

The only PCMCIA cards I ever used were flash memory (direct flash and SATA drives), modems, and Ethernet adapters, and I only had them because I was writing drivers. (At the time laptops were expensive and not every employee had one.) Built-in modems, docking stations, and serial-port (sub-d9) zipdrives eventually did away with PCMCIA cards. Thankfully, because they were a terrible form factor and took a ton of space inside a crammed laptop.
