Isn't this how it always was though? It just feels to the individual it's different probably because our news feeds are all so toxic. The stuff that's happening in the world is bad but the way it's presented and with such significance is way worse.

What does "pulling apart" actually look like though physically? At that scale can we just say "you add this much energy to the system and it creates a quark antiquark pair" and leave it at that?

Yeah but that's what I mean, like having to acknowledge minimums and saying "yes let's do it" is like the last like external trigger that they should have listened to and decided to go around.

Not sure why they call it "quantum" sensors when it seems to just be a really sensitive magnetic sensor?
Re:Working with Git Worktrees in Magit

Aren't worktrees multiple copies?
I usually have multiple worktrees and each one has different ports the various apps and servers talk to so I can easily visit each worktree's instance to test while having them all run.

Isn't there a call out usually where the plane says "minimums" and the pilot flying has to verbally confirm that they are committed? You'd think for this flight, that would have been the final time to realize they need to go around? Or is that strictly just a visibility call-out?

Re:Reverse Engineering Unknown File Formats with ImHex
on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @07:03PM (#49543785)
I've always wondered how something like an Autodesk Inventor sldprt file was formatted so that I could write a program to manipulate those files.
I assumed it was proprietary and left it at that.
A few years later, I saw that Onshape allows importing sldprt files into their system and I wonder how they were able to provide that ability without some proprietary knowledge transferred

That hasn't been my experience but maybe it's because in cursor I'm really only using the auto feature all the time. It's been almost a month of daily usage and I'm still only at like 70% quota.

The best thing they could do to new PLC's would be to have the src code live alongside the firmware inside. So any new person would be able to open it and reason about it.
