Hot. Not right away, but I’m sure it will be hot. And humid. And if not hot then still humid. The storm last evening took the temp down to 74F but the humidity stayed high. I expect it will get pretty hot today.
I did get stuff accomplished. Won’t say “done” but progress was made and lessons were learned. I’m learning to run the skid steer. I’ve got a pretty good handle on the mini-excavator, but I do still sometimes move the wrong way and get an unexpected result.
I broke 10 feet of patio, about 10 Feet wide. Took about 2 hours. Well, the first layer anyway. I think I broke part of the second layer too, and I’m hoping there isn’t a 3rd. But that led me to rethink my removal plan. I’ve got to leave enough I can get the heavy equipment in to do the haul out. That is going to involve some to and fro, and inefficiency. I’ll try something in the morning, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll try something else in the afternoon.
One thing I am good at is working around blocks. If I can’t do this, I’ll do that, and if I can’t do that, I’ll do something else. Flexibility and the ability to just keep grinding on (persistence) are vital traits when things go wrong. And they always go wrong.
Make a plan, but don’t be afraid to change it.
And stack the things you need for plan a, b, and c.

VMware or VirtualBox?
I could see someone running your product on a chunk of a big vSphere system, but don’t blame me — we jettisoned them last year, and I run VirtualBox at home.
The lecture is here. The last time I went through the math was 30 years ago. IIRC, the bug is two or three of the log values deep in the successive square roots not getting added back to the final answer.
https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_22.html
You’ve posted the test for the bug on several occasions, and I always run it through whatever calculator I’m carrying at the time to check accuracy. The reigning champ with the lowest error value is the Swiss Micros DM42, “The Most Accurate Calculator In The World”, which, ironically, uses Intel’s floating point library, but my newest, a TI84 with Python, was decent too.

@jenny:
That’s a lovely dog, who seems to thoroughly enjoy what she’s doing.
Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of dogs, due to an unfortunate experience when I was about 6. Funnily enough, that was with a corgi, who came charging out of his house as I walked past, and chomped on my ankle. Next thing I knew, I was at the doctor’s surgery for a tetanus jab. I’ve been nervous around dogs ever since.
That was survivable, until D1 decided, in her semi-infinite wisdom, that she wanted a dog. First thing I knew about it was when a full-size, pedigree dachshund arrived – the classic sausage dog. I was not best pleased, but you can’t complain when your daughter doesn’t know about your experience.
D1 didn’t fully train Ben, the dachshund, and he had a couple of annoying habits. He would bark incessantly if anyone came to the door (although that could be useful), and he persistently attacked any mail posted through the door (we do not have kerbside mailboxes in UK, Postie is expected to cross your front garden to push mail through a slot in the door). We lost two draught excluder flaps to this behaviour. Eventually, Ben succumbed to back problems, which are endemic among the breed, and we had to have him put down – that’s W1 and I – D1 had very little involvement with him by this time.
In the matter of training, I have perhaps been unlucky. Our late Queen kept Corgis (Pembrokes, according to Wikipedia, rather than your Cardigans), and they were always impeccably trained, to the extent that they were trusted to appear at public occasions, off-lead.

There was a lot of “nerd” talk at the end of yesterdays journal. There are a lot of smart and seasoned people that post here.
It is sad that the Human Race reverting to almost cave-man like conditions will be because of a Barackylpse of our own making. It always reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where the Burgess Meridith survives the Barackylpse in the bank vault, then breaks his glasses and can’t read all of his books. It almost seems that the smarter we get, the more the chance we destroy ourselves.
Memento Mori.
The response to Covid threw centuries of public health practice out the window for whatever reason.
I’ve posted before about how I’ve seen the Catholic Charities immigrant indoctrination operation in action first hand in South Texas. The van from the center pulls up in front of the Motel 6 and the newly arrived receive gift cards and direction to get food at the Whataburger across the street.
The first time I witnessed the scheme, in Summer 2021, the father of the “refugee” family walked into the Whataburger coughing as if he was about to hack up a lung. It was probably “just” TB, but that was around the time Corn Pop announced the mandatory jab schemes to provide cover for the C suites in the “emergency”.

I posted a link to yesterday’s referenced Feynman lecture above. Middle school math.
“Oppenheimer” has two actors portraying Feynman so my guess is that the movie touches on his Los Alamos experience. His work there still influences computer design, particularly with regard to parallel operations.
The current stink (well, one of many) in Hollywood is that “Oppenheimer” may not be eligible for Best Picture under the Academy’s new eligibility rules. The flick has been the odds-on favorite for the award since the test screenings started in January and the Super Bowl ads aired.

@geoff, the mail attacking is common. Don’t know why they hate it so much…sometimes the sense of righteous indignation is palpable thru the videos. It’s kinda funny to watch if it isn’t your house and mail 😉
WRT libraries, I’ve posted several times on the subject. I’ve got fiction and music as well as tech and the great books. Still hoping to come across a leather bound set of the harvard classics or the 5 ft bookshelf. My client’s study is filled with two or more of those sets- instant backdrop of learnedness… maybe he’s planning to read some in his retirement. That’s my plan too…
For contemporary or modern classics I love anthologies. Same price for the book, $1, but you get the complete or ‘collected’ works in one volume. Smaller print and thinner pages can be an issue but they are usually well printed. Sometimes I get a really nice volume clearly intended to be sold to collectors and I can’t pass it up. Large format, illios, nice covers.
Used can be kinda haphazard but it won’t break the bank.
Coffee drunk, eggs eaten, bacon savored… time to stretch and get to work.

Taking lunch. After the nerve wracking maneuvering yesterday of the big machine near the house, decided it was worthwhile to improve my access path. That took 3 hours. Still, because I’m making multiple trips to remove the concrete, it was worth it.

The DM is reporting the sub, Titan, imploded. The debris field the Coast Guard reported contains pieces of the sub.
The full Titanic experience.
I have stated since the sub went missing, due to the sudden lack of communication, that the sub imploded. There are several tons per square inch pressing in on the sub, or rather were. I did not buy the entanglement theory posited by “experts” (hired by the media) as the sub would still communicate. There were multiple fail safe systems on the sub that would drop ballast and create a positive buoyancy attitude. Something drastic had to have happened, and it did.
I don’t know if it possible because I think the Titanic is in international waters, but the location of the wreck should be off limits without permission of the owner, whomever/whatever that is. Just stay away.
Actually, I’m kind of surprised that yours are three feet down. I’d think that one foot would be more than enough to prevent freezing. Are they deeper so that people can drive small dump trucks over them? In case the topsoil washes away if the river floods?
A farmers family built the subdivision that I live in. In fact, the family of the neighbor that I am in litigation with. They put in about 10 or 15 miles of 8 inch iron pipe in our 1,100 acres for our 550 lots in 1998 and drilled three 2200 ft deep water wells with 100 ? 200 ? hp motors on each well. Then they sold the whole mess to a investment guy who was buying small water companies. I have no idea why they put the pipes three foot deep. Probably because they did not want to put them four foot deep. Now the pipes are starting to break since they are brittle iron, not steel or PVC.
Dadgumit, the dadgum dumbrocrats running our county increased the annual license for septic tanks from $20/year to $50/year. Both of my septic tank maintainers sent me an increased bill.
You can’t tell me that the county costs for regulating the 200,000+ septic tanks in Fort Bend County went up by 150 percent. Something tells me that somebody has a nice little fiefdom in the county offices.

“Just stay away,” not likely given the amounts of money involved. And something to keep in the back of one’s mind when considering a seat on the first flight to Mars.
I found some peeled bark on one tree, and a partly smashed patio chair. I went just that much too far while moving around. Crunchies. Never felt it.
Our big dragline excavators at TXU used to call pickups crunchies. The draglines moved at 1.5 miles per hour or something using a hundred “feet” on each side of the 400 foot long main platform. The boom stuck out 300 feet in front of the platform and the bucket could hold nine pickups. We owned 12 of the monsters here in Texas and bought a 13th one from Germany right before I left in 1989 for $130 million.

That was about the tenth ? twentieth ? trip for that sub down to the Titanic. Repeated stress is a failure mechanism also. Something to think about when taking the monthly Starship to Mars.
I would go to Mars before I would go to the bottom of that big, dark, cold, and highly pressurized ocean.
The implosion probably occurred in picoseconds, less time than it takes for a pin prick in the eyeball to arrive at the brain. One moment they were there, the next moment gone.
The news, especially local, is stating that there is little chance for survivors. What a bunch of clueless idiots. There is zero chance for survivors. I suspect that were no discernible body pieces after the implosion.
There is nothing but mush left. Future chum for bottom creepy crawlies. Don’t book passage on a junkyard sub. Or spaceship.
I don’t know how deep the water line from the well to the house is buried.
From the well out to the EDC and beyond as deep as a walk behind DitchWitch could dig. A bit more than armpit deep. Why? I called the County Ag folks and asked what’s the frost line here. They just laughed and said “you ain’t from here are you boy?”
I don’t remember if I ran 1.5 inch or 2 inch PVC.
The water line from the meter to the house in Austin was about two feet deep. It froze one winter. So as deep as the machine can dig is the way to go. No problems in 30ish years.
There is a difference between the stress at 14 PSI versus 90K PSI at 13,000 feet. I doubt a spacecraft would compress or change dimensions that much. That big of a change in pressure for a submersible probably compressed the hull significantly causing a some flexing. The hull was supposedly carbon fiber and titanium. I guess it was not tough enough.

“A physician examines the “transgender nightmare””
https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2023/06/a-physician-examines-transgender.html
“Physician: I think the best way to answer that question is to talk about the cultural shift that happened in 2020, because transgender ideology and Covid are inextricably linked. Normally, doctors operate by the authority of the professional societies that govern our specific practice. That worked because the individuals in those institutions were reliable, intelligent, and thoughtful. But with Covid in 2020, we started getting medical decrees without peer review or evidence—you saw this with masks, social distancing, and emergency-use authorizations. These decrees were expressed as something that everyone had to do, without justification based on sound science. The other thing was censorship. If you were to ask questions or express doubt about these medical decrees, you would be ostracized within your department, and you stood a good chance of being publicly humiliated, severely reprimanded, or fired.”
Yes, there is a notable likeness between the Covid treatment for the general population and the transgender movement. Very authoritarian and very in your face.
“IRS Whistleblowers Release New Bombshell Evidence Against Bidens, DOJ And AG Garland”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/irs-whistleblowers-release-new-bombshell-evidence-against-bidens-doj-and-ag-garland
“Several bombshells dropped by two IRS whistleblowers on Thursday reveal, among other things, that Joe Biden’s DOJ buried evidence of Hunter Biden’s tax crimes – and stopped US Attorney David Weiss from bringing charges against Hunter in two different jurisdictions last year.”
“The whistleblower also revealed that the IRS recommended felony charges for Hunter Biden because he failed to pay more than $2.2 million in taxes on $8.3 million of income from foreign entities in Ukraine, China, and Romania.”
Wow ! And the DOJ slowrolled the entire investigation so that the several years rolled off the books due to limitations.
You and I would have ALL of our assets seized, harsh penalties charged, interest charged, and be sent to a Federal prison without air conditioning in central Texas.
Doh! My HP Prime gives an error of 0.00001 in the “Home” screen, set for RPN, which most likely approximates, but the CAS precise screen has zero error. I’ll have to check to see if there is a setting on the RPN for exact/approx, but, surprisingly, that mode is a second class citizen on the calculator.
My HP50 switches between approximation and exact answers in the RPN mode.
The DM42 shows the error as 10^-27.
As for AWS, I have no clue what they’re using for virtualization. Maybe a default is to approximate floating point operations. Another possibility is too aggressive instruction scheduling/branch prediction.
In the other direction, a really aggressive optimizing compiler or JIT might just set CHPTST to zero and throw the rest away since DIVTWO will be set to a result of dividing constants and untouched before being used to calculate CHPTST. Afterwards, DIVTWO isn’t referenced again.
I’d have the intern check the assembly output when you switch to the new compiler or if you suspect something is up with the current build system.

Mid-eighties I had a newly built house and had a power blip one night that “seemed funny”. I went outside, walked around the house, surveyed the neighborhood, then called the utility and asked if they were doing any work in the neighborhood. The lady on dispatch said they were not, but she had a crew just finishing a couple miles away, and sent them over. They found the underground feed line wrapped so tightly around the meter base that the insulation had split, letting electricity arc where it shouldn’t. Probably due to a poor job backfilling the trench after the contractor ran the line. I got lucky because I had a feeling.

Several, about 25 years ago, I noticed that when it got windy the lights would blink. I walked around and looked. This is the house where running the old central air in Winter for heat made the transformer on the pole sound like a warp drive. Trippy.

I wouldn’t say that Girl Boss wasn’t effective at certain things, but she couldn’t code.
If we needed something out of Microsoft which they weren’t being forthcoming about no matter how much money we put on the table sending her up there usually got the issue resolved.
However, it was rare that money didn’t motivate Redmond. Apple was the company where if they didn’t want to give you something, you were totally screwed.
Girl Boss also wrote decent documentation, including, I suspect, for the app on 1099 while she worked salaried managing a similar project targeting their cable system.
I wonder how the fired engineer feels, now that he’s been proven to have been right. I suppose it depends on how big jerks the company management was, and how entitled jerks the pilots-hired-for-other-than-qualifications were.
I’ve been on a number of projects or jobs where I was fired (or contract terminated) because I’d been warning that project management was being done poorly or that the system architecture would never work or that company management was guaranteeing failure, or if not fired then blamed because it was obvious that my nay-saying had caused the problem. Once I was fired because I pointed out that I’d warned of exactly the problem which came up, not to I-told-you-so but to point out that the policies needed to change or it would happen again. I felt some satisfaction in seeing projects fail in the predicted manner because managers didn’t listen… but no lives were ever lost or even at risk. Projects were delivered late or buggy or over cost, people had to work lots of overtime to fix the failure, or such. Gloating was guilt-free and fully justified.

I assume that you got a roll off dumpster that they carry off on a bedless heavy Freightliner truck. The limit is that the truck has to pull the dumpster onto the truck. When the cable breaks it really makes a mess of the cab. And plus they need to not have crap above the walls that flies off the truck. People really get upset when a 100+ lb chunk of concrete comes through their windshield.
