@nprofile…h6f2 I see it more as a demonstration on why tesla's stance is so dumb, rather than a demonstration of an actual real life problem. Elon has been spouting shit about how cameras will be enough, and there's quite good evidence on how they aren't.

@nprofile…h6f2 I don't have a citation but I remember reading last year complaints from C developers that they were being harassed by Rust maintainers to document their code better and stop making so many changes because it added a lot of difficulty to maintaining their Rust bindings and they didn't like the work of having to figure out how to safely use the APIs by having to read and understand the C code. There are various technical and historical details for why the C part operates like this.Tbh that's just bad maintainership. Rust people try to write their interfaces in a way that you can't misuse them, and when trying to do that, they find code that's hard to impossible to not misuse, and the maintainers just don't want to fix their shit.

@npub1ysu…2jyl tbh you basically need a new house that's been built in the last like 6 years to get properly designed-in LED lighting
roughly the same with standalone lamps, for a while most stuff was lightbulb socket compatible, only the last couple of years did LED stuff became good enough

What not to do as a first time contributor to a clearly hobby project with 1.2 contributors and last commit 6 months ago:
Write 100+ lines of nix setup code to "ease development process" when the main contributors show no signs of wanting or using anything like that.

here I think it was done from soviet times and there's no need to change that
actually looked up the laws, and it's 20m either side. Railway actually usually then has a 15m wide zone either side to plant their own stuff (and they usually do outside of cities).

2024-08-14 19:53:56

- reply

@npub1vse…v7q2 I mean, 50m isn't needed, but I think like 10m from the track center is the standard here? Won't always save from trees, but branches aren't going to fall that far, and reduces the risk in general. Only really large storms mean anything here.

2024-08-14 19:44:47

@npub1vse…v7q2 that's not a lot of tree clearance

@npub1vse…v7q2 ours has been on a brink of collapse for like 15 years by now,
it also semi-maintains a longer ~50km portion between the town and the closest big-ish city that gets like 10 trains per year at most (because speeds are abysmal and nobody but hardcore railfans want to spend like an hour for a 50km journey)

@npub1vse…v7q2 that's true, but there's usually market consultation as well (as in, "we have these basic requirements, tell us what you think we should add/remove from them") where they can speak.

@npub1vse…v7q2 Yeah, I know, I read a bunch of selection documents
there was one or two based on SA3 that seemingly showed better performance and price, but dropped out just before decision time for some reason

Though I think DAC could get cheaper with mass production, like metal casting and stuff.

@npub1vse…v7q2 Right, what I meant is that there was a bunch of cost saving measures in making the apartments small enough to be prefabbed, but then all of those cost-saving measures went down into parking underground

@npub1vse…v7q2 I don't think it's always necessary?

@npub1qh0…xeda It wasn't really "just add more data", recent advancements were mostly on the "multiply the compute size and time several times"

@npub1qh0…xeda tbh I'd think it's mostly that the users don't accidentally make passwords that aren't possible to enter on every device - if you use letters with accents for examples, there can be multiple ways to represent that, and it won't hash to the same thing.
Honestly, a fairly reasonable restriction IMO.
