For cores included in FPGAs, sadly there are none better than Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A72, because there have been no significant upgrades to the families of bigger FPGAs for many years. However in that case you buy the chip mainly for the FPGA and you have to be content with whatever CPU core happens to be included.

On the other hand, for the CPUs intended for cheap embedded computers there are a very large number of companies that offer products with Cortex-A55, or with Cortex-A76 or Cortex-A78, so there is no reason to accept anything older than that.

Texas Instruments is not really representative for embedded microcontrollers or computers, because everything that it offers is based on exceedingly obsolete cores.

Even if we ignore the Chinese companies, which usually have more up-to-date products, there are other companies, like Renesas and NXP, or for smaller microcontrollers Infineon and ST, all of which offer much less ancient chips than TI.

Unfortunately, the US-based companies that are active in the embedded ARM-based computer segment have clearly the most obsolete lines of products, with the exception of NVIDIA and Qualcomm, which however target only the higher end of the automotive and embedded markets, by having expensive products. If you want something made or at least designed in USA, embedded computers with Intel Atom CPUs are likely to be a better choice than something with an archaic ARM core.

For the Intel Atom cores, Gracemont has similar performance to Cortex-A78, Tremont to Cortex-A76 and Goldmont Plus to Cortex-A75; moreover, unlike the CPUs based on Cortex-A78, which are either scarce or expensive (like Qualcomm QCM6490 or NVIDIA Orin), the CPUs based on Gracemont, i.e. Amston Lake (Atom x7000 series) or Twin Lake (N?50 series), are both cheap and ubiquitous.

The latest Cortex-A7xx cores that implement the Armv9-A ISA are better than any Intel Atom core, but for now they are available only in smartphones from 2022 or more recent or in some servers, not in embedded computers (with the exception of a product with Cortex-A720 offered by some obscure Chinese company).

We can only talk about the surface. The surface emits basically no radiation at all. The amount of Hawking radiation it emits is practically non-existent. It's truly black.

The temperature inside could be anything. You could well be inside a black hole right now.

Even if we were inside one we couldn't really talk about the temperature of the singularity. The singularity is a divide-by-zero error. It probably doesn't physically exist at all, and whatever does exist is beyond our ability to model.

Am I the only one who would like the option to run some Android games on Ubuntu? I like the Java version of Minecraft but worry it may be discontinued some day and the Bedrock edition doesn't run on Linux.

Well the Bedrock edition runs on Android, which uses the Linux kernel. Seems like getting Android games to be officially supported on Linux would be great, how about it Google?

We are committed to staying here for the long term. I think it is a matter of perspective and what one wants to prioritize. From a cost perspective, I think the cost of raising 2-kids in the suburbs or cute towns outside the city within commuting distance nets out to about the same. The advantages I see are the following: * Children are just more active on average, kids end up walking 45 minutes or more every day going back and forth from school, activities etc. * Subway and general community interaction. I get the subways are a pain, but it is a great way for children to interact with different classes of people and communities, understand social risks etc. * Meritocratic public high school system. I have some reservations about the elementary and middle school systems, but there are 4 elementary schools within a 15 minute walk radius so there is optionality, admittedly it is a bit hard to exercise. * So many play grounds. We take our kids to various activities and classes on the weekends, and we are never far away from an interesting playground.

I think it really depends on what will keep you and your family happiest. We have friends that determined they want more space and privacy and ended up moving to the suburbs and are happy. Know enough families that moved out and couldn’t handle the sedentary lifestyle and moved back. Feel free to message me if you have more questions.

If you want to remember the population correctly, then that isn't a gray zone, that's an "again". That's entirely unambiguous to me, and if you let yourself slide on that, you're hurting yourself.

There's a lot more room for gray zones in language learning, where you might have the french card "doubler" and answer it as "to pass", and then see the actual answer is "1. to overtake, 2. to double", in which case you have to read your heart and decide whether missing the second definition was careless because it's so obvious, or if it merits an "again"

An AI also can't really know, btw, if your answer of "to pass" was "to pass (overtake)" (correct), or "to pass (like a note in class)" (incorrect).

That's not the best example, but there are a ton of ambiguous english words, and you only know in your own heart which meaning you meant.

Reality check incoming. Yes you are an asshole. Your word choice matters, and you picked a large number of insulting terms.

"not ... smart", "[only use is to] win stupid games.", "[you will spend] your life doing jobs you hate for money".

My dude, I'm learning Japanese vocabulary, which has helped me to start reading light novels for fun. By your argument: I'm not smart, wasting my time, and hate my life, or soon will?

Thing is I would fully agree with you that memorizing != comprehension, but that doesn't mean than memorizing is without it's use. Do yourself a favor and learn to not be so rude. It is literally the first item in the site guidelines:

I’m not using LLMs but I scrape open dictionary data to generate (massive) cards for learning kanji. I publish these in a specialized kanji learning app (rather than anki proper). My db just lives temporarily on my local machine, before I publish. Maybe sometime I will streamline the publishing process and create a github action for it.

btw. I didn’t use LLMs to write the app, it was still pretty straight forward.

Show HN: Tornadic — a community driven tornado DB
by Robdel12 | 2025-05-18 15:08:16+00:00
Hey everyone!

I've been generally tornado curious since I was kid, starting off with the movie Twister (of course). I grew up in FL and went through a bunch of major hurricanes, so I've always loved meteorology.

Anyway, over the past year I've been getting deep into tornadoes. I haven't been able to find anything that's like a single source for tornadoes. Things like pictures, videos, radars, accounts, news articles, etc. Just one place to really pull all the info together for each tornado.

So, I've started to build that: [https://tornadic.net](https://tornadic.net)

*Quick summary of features:*

* Comprehensive database with about 80,000 tornadoes from the NCEI storm events DB.

* Daily SPC tornado reports

* Ability to add and vote on community contributions like pictures, videos, and news.

* Radar loop generator using NEXRAD data for tornadoes and SPC reports.

* Community-driven corrections and edits to tornado data.

* Planned open-access data downloads.

The data is started from the NCEI storm events DB for all tornadoes -- about 80,000 of them.

For example, here's the Joplin EF-5: https://tornadic.net/tornadoes/f693a33d-952a-415b-938c-a3204...

Or the Lubbock F5: https://tornadic.net/tornadoes/17edaebf-e75d-4164-9835-b1bb1...

You can add pictures, videos, etc to tornadoes. Community members can vote up or down submissions. This also works for suggesting edits to the NCEI data, since that's not always super accurate either.

I built a service which allows you to generate radar loops for tornadoes, if they happened to occur when there is a NEXRAD station near by. This grabs the raw radar files, generates an overlay, and then overlays it onto an animation. It's not perfect but it works surprisingly well. (This is currently hosted on a 8gb pi, so it's slow, but works!)

I also added pulling in SPC reports and allow radar loop creation for those, too. You can also add all the same contributions to the SPC reports, and they carry over when they eventually become a 'tornado' in the DB.

My hope is to build something that tornado enthusiasts use to build a solid and accurate DB of all the tornadoes (US only, at the moment). There's still a lot of work to do, like adding the ability to relate damage assessments to tornadoes, using their API. But I think it's enough now to try and see if folks like this or not

Lastly, I plan on making the data open so anyone can download the DB themselves. The goal is really to make a great source of tornado information.

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions, feedback, etc! It's okay to tell me it's dumb

Oh, one last thing, I forgot to mention radar generation is only really behind auth right now because it's running on a pi. Once I get this onto a big boy server (takes bit of resources to parse the radar files with py-ART), I'll let everyone click the button.

BSL is a source-available license that by default forbids production use. After a certain period after the date of any particular release, not to exceed four years, that release automatically converts to an open source license, typically the Apache license.

Projects can add additional license grants to the base BSL. EMQX, for example, adds a grant for commercial production use of single-node installations, as well as production use for non-commercial applications.

My biggest gripe with it is how clunky the editor window is. That’s the main part that’s due for a redesign in my opinion.

It has other oddities too though, like the tab bar in the main window that doesn’t act like a tab bar. It should also really have two button mode (Again and Good only) for the review screen as a built in option, too — the addon that adds this is very popular and it’d be dead simple to implement.

If anyone's interested in experimenting with FSRS, we at Open Spaced Repetition provide official packages in Python, Typescript and Rust

PY: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/py-fsrs

TS: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/ts-fsrs

RS: https://github.com/open-spaced-repetition/fsrs-rs

Currently ts-fsrs and rs-fsrs support FSRS 6 and py-fsrs should also support FSRS 6 in the next day or so. Also, both py-fsrs and fsrs-rs include the ability to optimize the FSRS model from your past reviews!

It did discuss causes to some surface level: continuous spike protein production, T-cell exhaustion and Epstein-Barr reactivation. And they're investigating post-vaccine syndrome so the root cause there would be clear, as the study authors discussed in the LISTEN press release.

It's easy to find papers discussing the problem, just search Google Scholar. Example:

https://bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prp...

Integration was proven in 2024, unfortunately :(

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.24.24304286v...

"Of the S1 positive post-vaccination patients, we demonstrated by liquid chromatography/ mass spectrometry that these CD16+ cells from post-vaccination patients from all 4 vaccine manufacturers contained S1, S1 mutant and S2 peptide sequences"

They can tell the difference between vaccine spike and virus spike as the vaccine spike was modified for stability. The exact pathway is speculated to have been DNA contamination due to manufacturing process defects. Sequencing of vaccine vials has shown far higher levels of DNA contamination than is considered safe, and the lipids would bring DNA into the cells just as well as they do mRNA making the safe levels much lower still.

Your original post:

> That's to do with (inter)national regulations, regulations which can be changed by politicians. Pilots can choose another career if they dislike being monitored at their jobs. There will be other people willing to become pilots.

You haven’t asked any questions and haven’t made any argument. If you want to have a discussion, make an attempt at having a discussion.

The “if they don’t like it they can go and others will come” is the same populist argument Musk and Trump use all the time. Zero attempt at understanding why things are the way they are.

By the way, tell me where I throw insults around.

> Is that not what anki does? You have a collection of cards, each card can be in one or more decks derived from the cards.

Kind of? As far as I can tell (and I haven't spent enormous amounts of time digging in), there are decks, and a deck contains the notes, the templates (and the cards, which may or may not have any sort of independent existence outside the notes and templates that generate them?), and a deck also contains the scheduling information.

One can export the textual and markup contents of decks, but not the media, into a text file, and one can re-import it, supposedly losslessly. One can also export a deck minus scheduling information for sharing purposes. I'm not sure that one can re-import it.

Then there is a collection, which is the whole world: decks along with their scheduling info.

> That's also decks. You can have your 'Japanese' deck, and then the 'Japanese::writing' subdeck for the subset which require you to have your writing materials handy.

I'm guessing that, if I start by importing a Japanese deck from some other source (because, for example, there's a source with high-quality notes), and then I split it into a writing subdeck, and then the original source adds new notes for new words or makes changes or whatever, that merging the results is basically unsupported.

> > Anki doesn’t seem to separate these layers at all. Everything is a monolithic database.

> Decks are separate files which can be shared, edited, created, studied, and reasoned about independently.

Yes, but only as monoliths (again, as far as I can tell). I can export an "Anki Deck Package (.apkg)", but checking that into git would result in a bit of nonsense. I can't export my scheduling information and templates separately from the underlying notes (or, if I can, I failed to find this option).

>> Export is unpleasant. Sharing is unpleasant

> It's just files (zip files really). What's unpleasant about it?

Excel and OpenDocument sheet files are also zip files. But the respective tools are less limiting and don't expect the users to unzip those zip files. (And their merging and text import/export facilities are also weak, and that's unfortunate.)

I could be wrong about most of this. But Anki doesn't seem friendly to a decomposed workflow in the way that modern programming lanuages are.

It's human intent.

AI is technically another tool, and it can be used poorly (what people refer to "AI slop", using default settings, some LoRA and calling it a day) and it can be used properly (forcing compositions, editing, fixing errors...) to convey an idea or emotion or tell a story. Critical eye does the rest.

After all, the machine doesn't do anything on its own, it needs a driver. The quality of the output is directly proportional to the operator's amount of passion.

FWIW, I'm writing from perspective of someone who lives and lived most of their life in Kraków, Poland - a city and culture that never been bike-hostile, and is increasingly bike-friendly. Despite owning a bike, I haven't rode much in the city since my university years, precisely because of the hassle of storing it and bringing it up and down 2-4 floors without a lift. I don't drive, I use public transit, walk, or rent e-scooters - and the latter is inferior to your own bike in every way except it's there and you don't have to carry it up and down the stairs.

Legally, using any tool that allows you to view raw cellphone traffic from your own phone is already unauthorized access (probably).

Famously, in Germany, it's illegal to be carrying a laptop on which nmap is installed. Everyone (who has a laptop and knows how to use nmap) still does it. It's one of those crimes which they get you for if they don't like you but you didn't commit any actual crime.

I remember trying that a few months back but I was not convinced by the quality of the cards. It's also hard to convey what I think a good card is, I guess there's something about not getting lost in the details while missing the big picture.

You only commented on accuracy, but what's your experience on relevance and how useful LLM-generated flashcards are?

To be clear I've already found myself deleting some flashcards I made myself while reviewing them when I realized they were bad, so I guess one can do that for LLM-generated questions as well, as long as the irrelevance rate is somewhat similar.
by hansvm | 2025-05-18 15:14:38+00:00
Not really. It's the same reason formal lectures are so much less valuable than one-on-one mentoring. An expert's value doesn't come from a bundle of facts, but from being able to figure out which facts you need to hear right this second given your current background, and figuring out how to present them so that you in particular can apply them. Having a motivating problem to discuss also helps both parties appropriately engage.

You can reduce the chance element a bit by having dedicated pairing time or something, and writing things down is better than nothing, but if you want to level up your juniors as fast as possible you'll definitely want some of that water cooler time.

I can't say a PS/1 would have been my first choice for a 486 platform; I'd imagine there are faster motherboards out there and a desktop (i.e. ASUS w/ SiS chipsets). That said, I had a 486/66, so... (some Dell).

And it looks like the PS/1 is missing VLB, but of course the video card is integrated in this model so that makes sense.

I would have probably went with a Cirrus Logic VLB video card and a Sound Blaster AWE64.

But that's my childhood machine, not the author's :-)

> But what's missing is a shared cultural experience. In the 90s, everyone at my school knew those 40 songs that the local stations played. They might know other stuff too, but you couldn't avoid those top songs. It's not the same today. And it's the same problem for visual media. We all knew the top movies at the theater, because it was the only place to see new movies. And we all knew the top TV shows because they were only on four major networks.

I mean, there's certainly greater diversity (particularly for music, stuff outside of the mainstream always existed, of course, but the barrier to entry was far higher then than now), but there's still a large shared _core_ of content.

Unfortunately “mistreat” is highly subjective. No matter what you do someone will be angry at you. I once got yelled at for taking a picture on a public beach where there was some family picnicking maybe 50 meters away. I think I was reasonable, the gentleman most emphatically did not.

Control what you can control. If you object to being a small data point in someone else’s documentation of a public experience, don’t put yourself in that situation.

So I haven't integrated FSRS, and of these two, I've only used Wanikani, and have been playing with a reimplemention for Chinese hanzi: https://hanzi.bpev.me

But seeing how it's implemented, I think they could totally integrate something like FSRS to at least just replace their scheduling (how long until an item is next shown). The unlocking system can be implemented as a separate gatekeeping mechanism, and the buckets can be coded for certain step thresholds (instead of wanikani's "stage").

Basically, this is their entire srs system: https://docs.api.wanikani.com/20170710/#spaced-repetition-sy...
