Ironically, DRM drives me towards Z-Lib and Libgen, when I happily payed No Starch for their stuff. Especially their bundles are a smart move in the digital age. Also, see e.g. Steam, you cannot charge for these digital goods the way you us

Does it have practical applications tho? Last I read about it, I figured it was just neat. (On the other hand it pollutes the namespace as a "BMA" search term collision XD)

I am not sure I follow either. i: Index of comparison, running 0..n p: Index in pattern P, running m..0 t: Index in text T, running 0..n, t=i at cycle beginning. Is the trick to not seek the character mismatching at T[i], but T[t+1], in fro

Have you looked into the Z-algorithm? It's related to BM via Good Suffix rule, and I think it's very neat and handy.

Naive BM goes quadratic at T: aaaaaaaaaaaa P: xaaaaa Not easy to come up with an improvement, there will always be that exception you didn't think of XD I wonder, if you could derive meta information about the DNA "lyrical" c

Harder to argue about character frequency in DNA/RNA sequences.

BM taught me that cleverness doesn't pay for fast, similar iterations. Performance is all about cache misses. I hated that lesson.

by lofi_lory 5y ago
Could you explain it? To me this falls into a long list of bad BM explanations. When I had to implement it for an assignment I thought I was going mad. E.g. everybody mentions the good suffix rule can be created in O(n), but no one explai

I wonder, if mRNA tech offers the possibility of reintroducing lost of function for cells with mutations like p53 defects. E.g. maybe just do what p53 does, if it's present or not. Much harder to identify the misbehaving cells, DNA de

Bacteria could evolve "antibodies" to these molecules, or enzymes to get rid of them. See CRISPR, plasmid transfer and colony signaling ... bacteria got quite sophisticated defenses.

I am in this weirdness . Have they fixed the USB-C PD frying boards issue? That made not buy one so far as an USB-C dock is a must with the Air.

by lofi_lory 5y ago
Yes. That's not 3D woven, is it? Robots aren't sewing jeans, but they can weave some variation of tube like socks or a simple pullover. Anyway, I think you are just trying to fight and feel superior over some pity. Hope you get be

If peripheral input works and networking and all. And 0.5-1TB storage is just expensive, not ridiculously expensive.

Have the USB-C PD issues been resolved? Like hubs frying the motherboard for some bad PD implementation?

I honestly think there is a great opportunity for a Linux tablet plus pen input (high dpi; precision and low latency). People just don't know yet, that's what they want. FOSS would thrive there.

How is that different from any other computer? Point is, the limitation is software. Even an extremely underpowered niche toy beats the iPad in a common, intuitive task for such a device.

by lofi_lory 5y ago
For me the iPad (2018) was just the cheapest entry to the tablet + pen combo. I love digital pen input and the tablet for reading documents. For a moment I liked the app ecosystem and thought maybe the Apple hype is valid. Now, I hate the s

Where did I say it's not possible? This very article is about 3D printing of clothes. So someone pointed out 3D woven clothes exists, probably didn't really read my comment either. I too had 3D woven clothing in mind in my origina

I don't think it's just cultural or anything for most people. Not just communication. I am usually not overly social at all, but I am now starting to crave other people's body warmth on a physical level. Feels like a headache

I use Aurora for the Playstore. It's buggy but does the trick for the few apps not in FDroid. No account needed as they provide a service for shared credentials.

Either "poster print" on multiple A4 papers, overhead projection onto the fabric, or laser cut. That's what I had in mind. I imagine an optional small helper device with lidar scanner and mini projector to measure the body an

I didn't mean to imply to tackle the fabric industry with this. Just the sewing. I think fabric is still better off mass produced by long running machines and then you design around what's on the market. Much like you would do wit

by lofi_lory 5y ago
You are correct about the pricing it seems. Either they changed that, or I misremembered. Anyway, 50€/m is still way too much for hobbyists. I think you missed the point. It's exactly the answer to "not everyone can design cl

Yes and severely limited in aesthetical expression.

You got 3D woven clothing already in stores. But I think there is a fundamental limit in form and function. Clothing isn't just means to keep you warm and protected. Aesthetics matter. I think the loom is already the dishwasher here, w

In Europe there is Mietshäuser Syndikat https://www.syndikat.org/en/ Their model seems to work well. I think this is the way. Capitalism seems to be oddly unprepared, if you just drop the profit drive in the middle

Overall I believe the industry of sewing clothes is gonna be the last to be fully automated. The 3D manipulation of 2D fabric is just too finicky and screams for the human touch, experienced, versatile fingers. But starting off 2D, mass pro

Capitalism's search for minima isn't linked to human welfare tho. Therefore the minima may or may not align with humanity's long term interests. Right now the system seems on track to optimize for our extinction. Without regu

Do you mean "capitalism" as in the dogmatic belief an unregulated market will somehow manage human needs to their benefit? Yeah, I think that's an extremely ignorant and outdated ideology. Which is evidently progressing towar

You don't see the inherent flaw still, do you? Financial security isn't worth anything in face of extinction. Bitcoin inherently works against human prosperity. No matter the riches we achieve, PoW will take a massive cut. Please,
