This is open source. You're thinking of trusted execution, audits, licenses with disclosure requirements, or signed affidavits which is a totally different thing than open source. Otherwise you could claim that just about anything isn't open source just because you're not sure what is happening on someone else's computer.

ok. This is open source of _what_? Without tying the code to a real life object the intent is absolutely meaningless. Here's the open source code for hackernews:

``` @route("/"): def main(): return "hello world" ```

What does that give us? We can't run this to host our own hackernews as it's clearly not runnable. We can't really learn anything from this as it doesn't not represent any real reality. Maybe it's a fun reading exercise but that's about it.

Open source means that I can take source and run it to ensure it's trusted. Ascii characters being visible on my screen is just a nice byproduct of this goal.


HN's autocorrect seems to cause more trouble than it's worth.

definitely agree

Sinc interpolation is somewhat resource-intensive / latency inducing which is why it's not used as frequently in realtime audio.

Agree, but it's like knowing a limit imposed by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. You can't do better and if you get close enough you are done.

I see telecoms make loops all the time both indoors and outside. The loops should be strapped together and strapped down though.


Yeah, leaving hanging loops with a gentle bend radius is very common as long as the loop is secured, and does not cause problems. Maybe something pulled on it though?


Bends ideally need pull boxes, but given the lack of pull boxes, you might be able to use fish tape where where fish rods / glow rods don't work, if you cannot get a pullstring / pull cable going.


If it's any consolation, you can have fiber without jackets as long as they are cable-managed very carefully.


The failure rate of an individual layer of Swiss cheese should be bounded under most circumstances but not all. So you should probably have more layers when hazards cannot be eliminated.


To me the problem with drag and drop is not only that it has to be a single continuous motion, but that nothing else interrupts you at an inconvenient time while you are doing it. The consequences of an incorrect drag and drop can be confusing. This "pick and place" UI is more precise and less error prone but a lot less convenient. Maybe there is a middle ground.


probably something like a stirling engine + working fluid going down tubes in the plate, it becomes worth it to develop silicon-on-insulator GPUs and other weird technologies that run at higher temps


Yea I’m super curious if you could build a heat pump to move the heat from the 100C GPUs to concentrate all of the heat into a blazingly hot radiator — and how well that would actually work.


legal citogenesis?


Clan justice, google is the clan.


Reality is just tug of war and weight is all that matters at the limit
