In the context of a planing catamaran, flying refers to allowing the windward hull to lift out of the water in order to minimize wetted surface area. These boats, especially the Hobie 16, were quite popular in the 70s and 80s.

I remember when I was a child, crashing my father's Windows 3 computer because I set all the desktop icons to animated GIFs!
With respect to welding, $2k for a PAPR helmet is stil a hard pill to swallow!
Who would you expect?
There already exists tight constraints on field grade. The mounting hardware has limits to how much one section can differ from the next. You can imagine that you need each horizontal beam some maximum number of degrees from parallel, and the vertical posts will only have so much extra length to account for variation.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are summer visits to my great uncles farm. Playing with a cow magnet in the dirt under the bench grinder in the tractor barn is one of them. I remember them being strong, but I was 10.

> AMD needs to be funding a CUDA shim that allows people to port stuff directly to their cards. And they need to NOT be segmenting the consumer and professional cards software ecosystems.

I don't know if this is what Fridman is doing, but interviewers will often ask naive questions that they already know the answer to on behalf of an audience who might not.

I’m content with octoprint, but if I needed to start from scratch today I would go with Mainsail. Largely because it looks much nicer. I suspect I’m not the only one.

I was a fan of my xz1 compact despite the fact that the square corners wore holes in my jean pockets and that it spontaneously crashed one day never to boot again.
When I crossed into Mexico near San Diego I left through an unattended one way turnstile. Leaving America is like leaving Disneyland. She could have just walked out.
