But it is so dumb that it doesn't even add to the drift towards greater Idiocracy clock values.
Post don't go into detail about schematic, but resistors and diodes around motor is to properly drive motor and protection from Inductive kickback (Flyback) https://www.microtype.io/blog/h-bridge-circuit-design
And every time I see something like this I like to remind to myself and imagine what spherical grid of Starlink satellites linked by laser is really capable of instead of mere internet as it is advertised.
Yes. And a sandwich is "a stack-based heterogeneous data structure with edible semantics." This is not insight. It is taxonomy cosplay.
Look, arrays and functions share some mathematical structure! - Irrelevant. We do not unify them because representation matters.
When a language makes arrays "feel like functions," what it usually means is: "You no longer know when something is cheap." That is not abstraction. That is obscurity.
Industry programmers do not struggle because arrays lack ontological clarity. They struggle because memory hierarchies exist, cache lines exist, branch predictors exist, GPUs exist, deadlines exist.
> the correspondence between arrays and functions [...] is alluring, for one of the best ways to improve a language is to make it smaller
No. The best way to improve a language is to make it faster, simpler to reason about, and less painful to debug.
> I imagine a language that allows shared abstractions that work for both arrays and appropriate functions
What if we invented increasingly abstract our own words so we don’t have to say ‘for loop’, map, SIMD, kernels?
Making arrays pretend to be functions achieves exactly none of those things. It achieves conference papers that end with “future work”.
Why is this academic slop keep happening ? - Professors are rewarded for novel perspectives, not usable ones.

CUDA is needed to render side scrolling video, but there is many ways to do other things with result.
Patreon also banned VPN

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.
$30 per seat per month.
$1.4 million annually.
I called it "digital transformation."
The board loved that phrase.
They approved it in eleven minutes.
No one asked what it would actually do.
Including me.
I told everyone it would "10x productivity."
That's not a real number.
But it sounds like one.
HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.
I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."
They stopped asking.
Three months later I checked the usage reports.
47 people had opened it.
12 had used it more than once.
One of them was me.
I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.
It took 45 seconds.
Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.
But I called it a "pilot success."
Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.
The CFO asked about ROI.
I showed him a graph.
The graph went up and to the right.
It measured "AI enablement."
I made that metric up.
He nodded approvingly.
We're "AI-enabled" now.
I don't know what that means.
But it's in our investor deck.
A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.
I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."
He asked what that meant.
I said "compliance."
He asked which compliance.
I said "all of them."
He looked skeptical.
I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."
He stopped asking questions.
Microsoft sent a case study team.
They wanted to feature us as a success story.
I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."
I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.
They didn't verify it.
They never do.
Now we're on Microsoft's website.
"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."
The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.
He got 3,000 likes.
He's never used Copilot.
None of the executives have.
We have an exemption.
"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."
I wrote that policy.
The licenses renew next month.
I'm requesting an expansion.
5,000 more seats.
We haven't used the first 4,000.
But this time we'll "drive adoption."
Adoption means mandatory training.
Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.
But completion will be tracked.
Completion is a metric.
Metrics go in dashboards.
Dashboards go in board presentations.
Board presentations get me promoted.
I'll be SVP by Q3.
I still don't know what Copilot does.
But I know what it's for.
It's for showing we're "investing in AI."
Investment means spending.
Spending means commitment.
Commitment means we're serious about the future.
The future is whatever I say it is.
As long as the graph goes up and to the right.
-@gothburzCan we just stop endless design churn and resists urge to innovate in a fashion industry manner in software UI ? This is ridiculous.
And f. the product managers that pushing for this, f. the SIP, lets reverse engineer the crap out of this and reverse all this changes with easy to use system level patch.
