I was more asking about "ALC Operations Team designs it" - the obvious goal would be for you to automate as much of this as possible, I just wondered how much work (if any) has gone into that so far, even if it's not being used yet on customer boards.

Ya this is what I was thinking this was when I first saw it, until I saw the price.

I just checked and 8000 IU seems to be juuust about 200 micrograms :) Turns out that the pills are ludicrously big?

> 8000 IU for young adults and thereafter

That's a lot of pills, even at 1,000 IU per.

A lot of them come in 5000 iu or 10,000 iu capsules. So 1 or 2 a day.

I read the limitations carefully. I think only the lack of STEP export is a showstopper. The rest seems pretty much OK for hobby use.

Also, as a side note, I would be happy to pay a subscription fee, just perhaps not $499/year, for "advanced hobby use". Autodesk could look more into separating hobbyists from businesses, I'm sure it's possible.

The problem is that after OnShape went full commercial, this is the only relatively inexpensive option with history-based parametric modeling.

$8-10 a month would be awesome, and they would probably make a ton of money using that subscription model. It's short sighted that they don't do this.

Contact football even if restricted to people 150lb and below is STILL dangerous. It’s not the weight disparity which is partly how I read that. It’s that the force that even 120lb people generate is enough to cause concussions amongst people the same weight.

After college a bunch of lightweight kids from high school would get together and play football. Two straight meetings ending in concussions ended that. We were virtually all less than 150lb.

AtHeartEngineer commented on Controllable Video Sprites That Appear Like Professional Tennis Players   cs.stanford.edu/~haotianz... · Posted by u/tosh

As a tennis player, I think this is super impressive.

Their models actually do a decent job of replicating true tennis strategy, and as they pointed out, even account for the quirks like the left handedness of Nadal.

However, it's still a bit unrealistic due to the lack of full data.

There's 3 things that make a tennis shot what it is: placement (covered in the video), pace (speed of ball), and spin (rpm and direction of spin). In this method, they only use placement. Probably because pace and spin data don't exist at this scale.

But there's a big difference between a slice, flat, and top spin shot to the same placement on the court, and it directly affects the return shot. For example, it's a very common and 'safe' play to return a slice with a slice

Would like to see the full extension one day

As a non-tennis player, I'd agree, this is impressive and fun.

I thought Ethereum's primary aim was to be an unstoppable world computer that runs any code where the fas fee was paid, not money. Bitcoin aims to be peer-to-peer censorship-resistant electronic cash---and at this point its protocol has far higher levels of tested security.

Transactions on ethereum get processed from the mempool in order of who wants to pay the most gas to have their stuff processed.

And yes, ethereum has more potential for problems, it's a much more complicated system than bitcoin. Their current goals are proof of stake (getting away from energy wasting mining) and scalability. Bitcoin is great for what it's great for, being digital gold, but it's pretty far from replacing Visa, ethereum actually has a shot at that.

AtHeartEngineer commented on American Academy of Sleep Medicine calls for elimination of daylight saving time   aasm.org/american-academy... · Posted by u/oftenwrong

No... make daylight savings time permanent instead.

As the paper states, the biggest problem is with the transition.

The paper also argues that standard time aligns more naturally with our circadian rhythm... but doesn't bother to compare that with the psychological benefit we get from hanging out with friends in daylight after work in the summer, or the psychological benefit of it not being dark when you go home and have dinner with your family.

I totally get that people who wake up early in the winter prefer standard time... but it really seems that for the population as a whole, permanent DST is the better option. And implementing it is so easy: once we're already in DST in the summer... you just never "fall back" to standard in the fall.

AtHeartEngineer · 6 years ago
Yes, summer time forever!
