@BradMunchen I have tried FSD in Hanover, Germany, and it handled multiple non-traditional situations where I and many others, who don't know Hanover, would be sweating - 0 failures, 40 minutes of flawless driving. I tend to believe Tesla more than you I guess.

@kicauipul If you need performance it’s faster to scan a word and look it up in a hash table. Angstrom backtracks and is not fast in such cases.
English
Sorry, I do this to OCaml. Angstrom started this, I vouch it. 😂

@voidneco @NearestCommit It’s the new *BSD. You know, the one that was dying in the 90s.
English
@NearestCommit Nothing. It’s literally nothing else. Don’t see the appeal and especialy the glaze it gets.

Can someone tell me what omarchy does different outside of being an easily installable arch fork that has hyprland?

Indian students need a reality check.
This is what happens when you learn “open source” from influencers instead of people who’ve actually written production code.

4 Stocks Recently Punished but retain strong competitive moats that could fuel a rebound.
1. Adobe $ADBE
Adobe controls around 42% of the creative software market, driven by the unmatched breadth of its Creative Cloud suite, which remains the industry standard across design, video, and illustration.
Adobe derives 74% of its revenue from Digital Media (Photoshop, Acrobat) and 25% from Digital Experience, which is growing through demand for content personalization, AI analytics, and enterprise marketing.
Their subscription revenue model is a massive advantage, supporting premium valuation, sticky user base, and financial durability.
Adobe has grown revenue every year since 2016 while maintaining strong free cash flow. Despite this consistency, Adobe’s stock trades near 2022 levels. At that time, shares surged 2.5x within two years, suggesting today’s setup could be an attractive entry point for long-term investors.

@JacklouisP Yet, both companies perform poorly on the stock market

🤖 Ever notice how similar Autostore and Ocado robots look?
There's a story to be told here...
AutoStore (Norwegian warehouse robotics pioneer) sued Ocado (UK grocery tech) in 2020 for stealing their robot designs. Seemed straightforward - Ocado was an AutoStore customer who got access to proprietary tech and then launched a near-identical product.
The problem: Courts found AutoStore's key patents were invalid because they had shared detailed technical information about their robot technology in business dealings before filing for patents - making it "prior art" that destroyed their patent claims.
Meanwhile, Ocado counter-sued with their patent portfolio and won multiple cases across the US, UK, and Germany.
Result: AutoStore had to pay Ocado £200 million in 2023 to settle all claims.
The kicker? Both companies' robots still look nearly identical because they're based on the same fundamental grid-storage principles - but now Ocado owns the stronger IP position.
Classic patent law lesson: Public disclosure before filing patents can destroy your entire case, no matter how strong it seems.

@flying_boatman I have a 3D-printed mount like that and what broke first was the comb-like structure. So convince yourself that this is indeed durable.

Preparing a new design to suit another rowing application.
Step 1: model the item you are working with...
English
@flying_boatman The problem is usually on the other end. How to attach a mount to a boat. No good single solution.
English
Someone gave me an idea...
Can we fit a NK Strokecoach on to a Quadlock mount.
Now we can!

@chris_dalke What dashboard is good for showing telemetry data with 1fps or better? Is Grafana made for this?
English
I love grafana
I love drone boats
So I put grafana on my drone boat, and now I can stream live telemetry over 4G
#grafana #ardupilot #drone

Customer who wanted the extra tall light mount has sent a photo of it in action.

@zackkanter @paulg Or with robots. A dishwasher does not have to work like a human to clean dishes. There is a premature assumption that robots need to be like a human while not facing the same evolutionary pressure that evolved humans
English
@paulg Tangential point: we’re making the exact same mistake with cars today, even down to the same naming error: ‘horseless carriages’ / ‘driverless cars.’
English
When a big new thing appears, we tend to think of it initially in terms of the old thing. For example, people thought of cars and trains as mechanized carriages initially, before starting to see them as their own thing. How are we doing this with AI?

@wordgrammer Always thought the code for the Postfix MTA was clean

I’m curious. What is the most well-written code on the planet? Something internal at OpenAI? Jane Street trading algorithms? Jax + XLA? Quake 3 source code? There has to be some single-best code repository. I have no idea what it is though

@pairshead Page not found? Could you check that results are indeed available at that link?

@weed_plz @Razar_the_Raven Maybe 2x for the Pixel. It’s like Porsche vs Toyota. Both work but some people enjoy how much one is over engineered.

@huund @Razar_the_Raven Well duh, isn't the apple 3x more expensive?

@DDunkelmann Congrats, Daniel! 🔥(And keep working on these splits, too)

@StephenSeiler @wayno265 @ratcliri I was looking for this detail because the folklore is exaggerating this time span
English
4 boats smashing 40 strokes a minute for 3 spots in the A final……6 minutes of hell….and the commentator talks about being “in threshold” at the halfway mark. 😩😩
English
@StephenSeiler @ratcliri I’m not discounting the psychological argument of a fast start. But everyone knows their own possible 2k time except maybe the competition. A fast start does not change that and in fact may harm it by burning too much too early. But executing that is mentally difficult
English
@StephenSeiler @ratcliri You hear rowers say something like the first 40s are free as argument for a fast start. But is this true? Is early energy expenditure disconnected from later? The simple critical work/speed model would suggest otherwise but I hear that argument a lot
English
@ratcliri No rower rows a single stroke at “threshold” power in a competitive 2000meter race. Their blood lactate is already 10mM plus after 500meters and inches up from their at a race pace that is essentially VO2 max+
