in 1983 a Lucasfilm engineer discovered you can legally interleave a switch and a do-while in C it's called Duff's Device. it still compiles and technically valid C Tom Duff's own words: "it amazes me that after 10 years of writing C there are still corners I haven't fully explored."

Big paper coming out soon. Using AI, we mapped embryos of mice, alligators, turtles, rhesus macaques, and chickens in 3D and at single-cell resolution. We discovered something truly remarkable...stay tuned!

@wintermeyer I agree; I should have added that I’m not against the humanoid form factor, because our world is built around it (stairs, small passageways, etc.). This might be the first faster horses solution that actually provides benefits.

@hackteck Best case: Humanoids are shoe ins for humans. Much easier because neither the workplace nor the workflow has to be changed. They might become a stepping stone.

In a way humanoid robots are a "faster horses" solution

@jesslivingston What a roller coaster! And so many lessons, at so many levels, to be learned from Ron's intervention that helped save the day. Great episode!!

Today's Social Radars is an exciting one: Ron Conway talks publicly for the first time about the frantic, behind-the-scenes efforts that prevented the failure of Silicon Valley Bank from triggering a Depression-style financial panic. pod.link/1677066062/epi…

The Takata airbag recall was the largest and most expensive in automotive history, affecting 100 million airbags, 34 brands across 19 automakers, and costing upwards of $20 billion. lumafield.com/podcast/episod… The full story is the subject of Go/No-Go episode 12.

This is a CT scan of a recalled Takata airbag assembly. Sectioning in, we see the folded airbag itself, then the propellant chamber with two explosives (“energetic materials”). Something’s missing that makes this unit especially unsafe…

Claude says Aesculapian snake (Zamenis longissimus, in French couleuvre d’Esculape). Nonvenomous, eats mice, protected. Interesting, had not seen one for several years.

If you wonder how a typical BESS site looks like, here's one we're building in the Netherlands, a 100 MW / 200 MWh site in Waddinxveen:

@ScottHickle Same here, cleanshot is indispensable. Just checked, from what I've saved I have already made 1999 screenshots this year alone.

While designing SharePoint, Microsoft said "how can we make granting and managing permissions as painful as possible? We need it to be overcomplicated, unintuitive, and a complete clusterfuck" and then they went with that.

Currently trying to unfuck SharePoint permissions for a site that's been managed by about 20 different people, none of whom understood SharePoint, so if you need me, I'll be in the river.
