You mean MCAS implementation where two operations on disjoint memory locations also have disjoint set of memory locations they access? My intuition is that it would be completely impossible to do waitfreely (via some similar argument to the one for Omega(thread_count) memory bound for nontrivial waitfree data structures).

@koakuma

Hm~ why does the lower bound assume that critical steps are CASes and not simple atomic writes? That's probably true in the setup where the number of threads is not bounded, but otherwise I see no obvious reason for that to be true.

@kravietz

I don't mean the CG shift impacting how the thing flies, but impacting whether the recoil only pushes the drone backward, or whether it also rotates it. Do you expect recoil-generated torques to be compensatable with dynamic control without rotating by more than a few degrees? (Seeing that it fires in bursts.)

@kravietz Ah, maybe it's shooting blanks? (I don't really know how the "blank adapter" should look like.)

@kravietz I'm surprised that the center of mass change due to getting rid of rounds doesn't cause the drone to be slightly rotated by the gun either during first or last shots.

@0xabad1dea @zorinlynx

I agree this is an example obviously on one side of that line. What I'm curious about is if any of y'all have a litmus test for which side of that line things close to the boundary are on.

@grzgrz

Rzeczy które nie wymieniłeś, które wpływają:
- pilność potrzeby/chęci (skojarzona z tym, co szybciej wyjdzie),
- jak dużo lepiej/gorzej będzie działał obiekt przeze mnie zrobiony skojarzone z tym, jak bardzo jestem w stanie zrobić go w sposób bardziej dla mnie przystosowany,
- potencjalne towarzystwo w robieniu,
- jakich czynności wymaga robienie (niektóre są nieprzyjemne lub nudne-ale-wymagające-uwagi).

Ciekaw jestem, czy ludzie mają podobne odpowiedzi na temat generycznego obiektu i na temat jedzenia.

@zorinlynx @0xabad1dea

Where would you put the boundary between "this person is wrong on the Internet" and "this person is persisting in causing others to be misled in a harmful way"?

@brunoph

I'm confused why the article claims that the report focuses on emissions, rather than on problems along the lines of sailors using something that reports their location over the Internet to all sorts of garden variety data brokers.

Hm~ I'd expect the Navy to buy data from data brokers to see if anything shows up where their ships are underway. I wonder if I expect correctly.

@elithebearded
Hm.. it seems that doing that to a video of something rotating gives you a somewhat distorted view of that rotating thing?

@rygorous

I once saw a DIY car alarm that had no horn. Instead, if it triggered, it would display a "stolen. call police." message somewhere around the rear windscreen _only while the car was driving_.

@jann

The diffraction limit might imply that your sending antenna has to be impractically large (in diameter). Some Greg Egan's stories include a variation of that, where the thing that's accelerated is not a craft of any sort, but something that will in a few milliseconds from being launched (onboard time) start constructing the desired craft out of the material of the moon/star it has just impacted into. One example of a story of that shape: gregegan.net/INCANDESCENCE/00/ (I can't find the story that I remember having a closer approximation to what you described.)

@kravietz Does is really use a reverse-driven screw pump to generate energy? (I've never seen such an approach.)

@eoaiuastwg Example 2 (there's something weird going on with the font for the comments, but the code one seems monospace)

@CurlyParakeet

How would you define that for things that you don't normally make at home? (I'd guess cheese/tofu could be one example.)

@b0rk

Do you have examples of solutions that are hardest to come up with using just the understanding how things work? I wonder if these are mostly things where Yet Another tool is helpful, where a tool has a somewhat hidden feature/option, or something else.

@b0rk BTW I think the parent post didn't federate to your instance (not sure why; length? happenstance? some problems caused by your question having been edited?) and I think no one else mentioned the /proc/N/root trap.
