That guy picked me up as a rideshare driver once. He was late.

My partner made bread pudding once out of stale whole wheat bread and it was great. She just followed her usual recipe.

The bread pudding tasted .. whole-wheatier. Richer, fuller, less empty. I guess if you like whole wheat bread you will like this more than normal and if you don’t then you will like this less than normal.

it is the only thing giving them an advantage over the USA

That’s really not true at all anymore. China is an absolute manufacturing powerhouse. Almost all of the industry that used to be the USA’s strength in the ‘50s is China’s strength now.

They haven’t been the cheapest labor anymore for a while now and they don’t need to be.

Don’t get me wrong, the USA has other, newer strengths now — tech and design, among others. But they do appear to be throwing them away and ceding to others — especially China — as hard and fast as they can.

On the other hand, humanoid shape for robots seems like an extreme waste of technical complexity and cost, so in my opinion this particular article is mostly showing up how China is also beating the USA at being faddish and dumb following tech fashion.

Is this for real? That’s incredibly stupid.

That’s a fair amount of backup battery and inverter power to run a stove, too. Awesome that that’s cheap enough to install en masse.

If you want to get advantage from a speculative fund making a bet on a popped bubble, then you need to be already invested now, before the bubble bursts. (And also, you/your fund need to be right that it’s really about to pop now, and not later)

Once the race is over it’s too late to bet on the ponies.

That would make me nervous

All the descriptions I’ve seen so far sound very much like my sister’s experience in eastern USA. I feel like there’s no info here to say whether it’s the same in Brazil or wildly different.

If it was me looking for the info I’d ask the question again in Portuguese

Yep. 50+ yo, every once in a while I wind up driving past a place I lived and reminiscing. My mom was a navy brat and moved around a LOT, we still every once in a while go drive by some place or other that she used to live growing up.

I still can’t believe they built a housing development all over my crayfish creek 😡

How many stories have you seen about batteries with the term “game changer” in it?

Can you honestly look at the world today and say with a straight face that the game has not changed with regards to battery tech?

Compare electric cars and battery-powered computer runtime from 20 years ago, 10 years ago, and 5 years ago. It’s crazy! I just worked all day on my laptop without plugging it in and the battery isn’t even half dead. I can go anywhere to work and don’t require an outlet. The game has changed. This advancement in battery tech is ongoing and has not stopped.

Check out the excellent tutorial # Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists especially chapters five and six. It has a lot more words, it’s entertaining, engaging, and informative.

But if you are doing something advanced, down at the hardware level

This part is wrong. Otherwise yes correct.

The “unsafe” code in rust is allowed to access memory locations in ways that skip the compiler’s check and guarantee that that memory location has valid data. They programmer is on their own to ensure that.

Which as you say is just the normal state of affairs for all C code.

This is needed not because of hardware access but just because sometimes the proof that the access is safe is beyond what the compiler is able to represent.
