I work in robotics and with quaternions (mainly 6DoF SLAM and used to do robot arm kinematics), but I don't get the use case for this. Maybe provide some example use cases?
> most people know how to use their own money to further their own life if given capital and opportunity, thus capitalism is the solution
I didn't know that "giving capital and opportunity" to people is inherent to capitalism. My understanding of capitalism is, that if people have money, they can "use their own money to further their own life", but capitalists avoid giving money to other people unless the return on investment is greater than 1.
I love this! Such a simple game with a fun level of skill. High score 17485 feels pretty good (edit: Oh! Low power mode on the computer makes the game run slow, thus much easier to get crazy high scores).
Reminds me of SFCave and Nanana Crash for the simplicity and surprising replay ability.
Freezing assets is simple. Seizing them is a huge pain. The EU has a hard time agreeing how to do it and who takes the liability for the Russian claims.
The EU has a hard time agreeing how to do anything, but the net effect for Russia seems about the same either way. If the 'freezing' lasts forever, what is the practical difference from the Russian perspective?
not committing now = keeping your options open. it's smart. usually who has more different available moves is in a better situation. money are not going anywhere and if EU doesn't urgently need them it's a nice bonus in future.
Unless Putin's scientists really discover a way to keep him alive forever, Russia will likely one day have a different leader and a different administration, which may be more amenable to diplomacy.
It sounds optimistic, but after Stalin came Khruschev, a much more "normal" person. Though it is true he didn't last even a decade. But there was a lot of political thaw in between, and some of this thaw survived.
Stalin to Kruschev was in a very different context. I don't see any way that Russia's next leader is someone cuddlier, unless through some forcing event.
Contexts are never quite the same. And instead of "cuddlier", I would simply say "more realistic".
It is quite obvious that Russia miscalculated heavily, and someone who wasn't part of the small team that decided to go in, and thus whose face is not at stake, may be more amenable to declaring "OK, our goals have been basically met, let us solve the rest at the negotiation table".
From what I get out of my Russian and Russia-located acquaintances, people are growing tired of this nonsense. Not yet rebellious (though some of the recent actions of the government, like messing with the civilian Internet to the point of unusability, plus mass culling of cows in Siberia, have certainly increased the total level of anger), but dead tired. There is political space to conclude this war, and the reason why it isn't happening is personal.
Can you elaborate on this? My guess would be, that because of their status as a government backed research institute, they invent a lot, but let others do the commercialisation. So patent fees seem like a natural choice for them, to recover their investments.
It does sound interesting and I signed up for the wait list. But I actually don't like pure chronological order. It feels like I have to look at everything to find the good stuff. Here I probably won't miss out too much if I check the front page once a day.
I have a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS. Runs great for years, except for one or two apps that require an "official" Android.
Anyway, I now need to get the battery replaced, because apparently they are dangerous and Google pays for the replacement. Unfortunately, the replacement process requires the stock android to be installed. Meaning, I would need to backup the whole phone, reinstall stock android, then restore everything - and hope the whole ordeal works out.
That makes no sense. If there is a recall program for safety, surely they have to accept whatever software is on there? It's not relevant to the hardware repair
I tried it to review some C++ code. It actually found minor bugs, but the signal to noise ratio is too high (maybe 10% of the found issues were real issues)
