Big concern IMO with 10BASE-T1 and PoDL for long runs / in wall installations etc is the lack of galvanic isolation. Maybe I'm just paranoid but there's a ton of advantages to not having to worry about things like ground loops and common mode voltages etc.

What I wouldn't mind would be a beefier 100BASE-TX 2-pair cable spec, and some extended PoE profiles. You'd need high current magnetics or something but surely that's possible.

Hi, Kilian here :) ML engineer / research-minded generalist with a recent M.Sc. in Informatics from TUM, including a thesis on machine unlearning in medical imaging (@Harvard Medical School). I’ve worked on problems like reinforcement learning for tumor landmark detection in MRI, and deep learning for physical systems and protein structure prediction.

I like forming own ideas and following them through — from literature review to implementation, evaluation, and iteration. I can reproduce papers, fine-tune models, explore new methods, and design experiments that actually test hypotheses. I’m especially motivated by early-stage work that blends research thinking with practical engineering.

In team settings, I tend to gravitate toward coordination and planning roles, and outside of work, I’ve led a 300+ member volleyball department for several years — which taught me how to manage people, not just models.

I'm looking for roles at the intersection of research and engineering, eg early-stage AI projects where curiosity, ownership, technical depth matter and impact-driven development are valued.

Intelligence isn't a respectable quality in the face of illegal (allegedly), unethical, and/or immoral behavior.

Kissinger shared culpability for what happened in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

Rice shares culpability for what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Hegseth may still participate in war crimes regardless of being a dim bulb. One can only hope his disability makes him less effective in causing harm deliberately, but he still may cause great harm inadvertently as well.

America needs to acknowledge that it has a multitiered system of selective criminal prosecution where some people get away with crimes because of who they are.

To answer your question: I have used them, but I was too lazy to look up the correct syntax. Yes. It should be co_await. The library I used was layered on top of the C++20 co-routine implementation, not c++23, and used co_await there (but probably should not have).

Do NOT use the c++20 co-routine APIs (a half-implemented nightmare of an API, although what is there does miraculously work, contrary to expectations). Probably better to wait for c++23 generators, which are so far available as an experimental feature on GCC 14.0 (which makes the feature unusable in any of my projects).

All of which, I guess, answers my question about why nobody has brought up c++ generators yet. C# has nice generators.

Sorry I brought it up. :-(

The "global south" is a term which originates in writings about the vietnam war in the 60s. It's by no means a new term.

Use third world country if you want, but at least in my mind, the terms "first/second/third world" are more tied to which hegemony you fall under, where the first world is the US hegemony, and the third world is without a hegemon. "First world" is kinda synonymous with "the west". To me, the term "global south" communicates that it's being contrasted against all of "the north", both east and west, while using the term "third world" communicates that the context makes a distinction between "the west" ("first world") and the old eastern bloc ("second world") somehow relevant. Some "second world" countries such as China are also part of the "global south".

I'm sure there are people who use the term "global south" simply because they perceive it to be less judgemental somehow, but I might've used it in this context because "third world" communicates something different.

Honestly though, I would've probably just used the term "non-western" (maybe "non-first-world"?), since that's the distinction the article actually draws. Eastern Europe is also affected here, after all. Or maybe I would've drawn the distinction at "US" and "non-US", since Europeans don't necessarily want their writing to sound American either and the old US hegemony seems to be on its last legs.

> It's clearly not human intelligence

I don't think argument by assertion is appropriate where there's a lot of people who "clearly" believe that it's a good approximation of human intelligence. Given we don't understand how human intelligence works, asserting that one plausible model (a continuous journey through an embedding space held in neurons) that works in machines isn't how humans do it seems too strong.

hey, I joined a B2B startup as an early engineer and 4 years into it, found some insight in how to reach people to buy your product. First of all, the growth is slow in comparison to consumer products, and it is hard to onboard people for your product. The good thing is, once they are onboard attrition rate is low. People will incorporate your product in their process and will find it hard to change it, given you have good customer support and the product functions well. Cold emailing and reaching out to a lot of people is the only thing which will help. You can differentiate on price and try to have a simple and clean UI. B2B products should primarily solve problems and should take less time to understand and configure. Major players tend to have very complex UI, and then they require entire teams to just run that product. Try to have differentiation in these areas.

I a broadly skilled generalist senior developer - specialised roles I did in the past included data engineering / MLOps for a healthcare AI start-up and bioinformatics ops and research.

Bio summary: After a graduating with a maths degree in 2014 and an early career role in finance, I found my path to data engineering in bioinformatics in 2016, initially as a full stack developer in a research institute and then taking on increasingly data focused work. I worked in life sciences for many years, until in 2023 I joined a healthcare startup, which for an exciting year and a half was a great opportunity to experiment with 'modern practice' like Databricks and integrating LLMs. Looking for new opportunities to engage in meaningful work.

From my bioinformatics and data engineer experience, I'm good at interfacing with researchers and turning ideas and prototypes into working products: developing data flow workflows, evaluating performance of models, providing interfaces and entry points for clients, and more.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of contributing to significant projects in academic, commercial, and non-profit settings. If my profile or any of the technologies listed resonate with you, feel free to reach out via email!

“Don’t use this for evil” is a legal and valid software license. This is anathema to programmers and law-as-code adherents, but it’s perfectly acceptable to bring to a court of law in a licensing dispute. Different courts and different acts of accused evil will result in different judgments. It would be very difficult for a corporation to accept that license; it would be very simple for an individual to do so.

Such a license does not comply with your requirements; yet, it is also valid under case law, even if it is statistically unlikely to permit enforcement against most claimed evils. Each society has certain evils that are widely accepted by the courts, so it certainly isn’t a get out of all possible jails free card.

The purpose of a license is to inform of the rights available. The user is responsible for evaluating the license, or for trusting the judgment of a third party if they are uninterested in evaluating themselves.

If the author’s entire license “This is free software for free uses, please contact me for a paid license for paid uses” then that is statistically likely to be court enforceable against exploitation, so long as the terms offered are reasonable to the judge and any expert witnesses called. The Free Software Foundation does not have exclusive rights to the words “free software”. Adoption will be much reduced for someone who writes such a license, of course, and perhaps someone will exploit a loophole that a lengthier outsourced license would have covered. Neither of those outcomes are necessarily worth the time and effort to try and prevent, especially when use of any open source license guarantees the right of exploitation for unshared profit in plain language versus the homegrown one which does not.

(I am not your lawyer, this is not legal advice.)

Many have yet to learn the history of alternative implementations like egcs, IronPython and IronRuby, jpython and jtcl, PyPy, Rubinius,...

Most of the time switching is not worth the effort for the few things they do better than the original implementation, and eventually if the features are really relevant enough, the main implementation will end up having them as well.

Of course it is relevant. TooBigTech is killing smaller companies just because it is too big.

When there are issues like this ("we made a successful product and someone forked it and it's killing us"), the "someone" is generally a BigTech, not 3 students in a garage. Then people complain about open source working/not working, and forget that the root problem is the monopoly that is screwing them.

I agree that the OSI and FSF are trapped with their most hardcore followers, and can't effectively change, assuming they even wanted to.

As for Stallman... his idea of freedom is very narrowly-scoped. In particular, it makes no distinction between hobbyists and megacorps, and is completely blind with respect to economics.

By lumping hobbyists with companies, it makes the category error of extending human rights to corporations. This of course, is nothing new in America, and hasn't been since the infamous 1886 Santa Clara County vs Southern Pacific Railroad court case, that established corporate "personhood".

For example, I like to put Batman as a dummy user

I can't remember the details, but I've heard a story multiple times about a fake-sounding name being used in testing -- I think US military payroll? -- and causing problems when a real person had that name. Can anyone here remember this?

In any case, "batman" is just about plausible enough that it could be real. I tend to use names like "Mr. Testy Testalicious" which (a) contain the string "test", and (b) are so wildly absurd that I'm confident nobody will ever collide with it.

> Zoho was in talks with the Department of Electronics & IT under India’s Semiconductor Mission, and reports reveal that they had set aside some $200 million for a pilot 28 nm wafer line in Tamil Nadu.

My guess is 28nm is already an aging node, and by the time any fab based on it becomes operational, the technology will be even more obsolete. It’s hard to predict what the market will look like then. You can't expect a private company to pour billions into a dicey market.

This is a case where free-market capitalism doesn’t work. You really want a government pitching tens of billions of dollars to get to the cutting edge fast, not expecting companies to foot the bill and just dangle a few incentives.

Frankly, for India, the entire semiconductor ambition feels like putting the cart before the horse. It won't create jobs, most value will be captured by fab owners. The smarter approach would be top-down: start with component assembly, then build up CNC machining, injection molding, and other foundational industries that can fill in the gap for components. Only after that should we talk about high-value semiconductor manufacturing.

India lacks even the most basic manufacturing. We import stuff like lighters, toys, and basic electronics. Why do we want to make the giant leap to semiconductors?

Unfortunately, Indian policymakers are more interested in optics than in long-term industrial planning.

As always, relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1314/

I agree with you that it is infact a DDOS protection but still, the fact that it is open source and created by a really cool dev (she is awesome), I think I don't really mind it gaining popularity. And also they had created it out of their own necessity which is also really nice.

Anubis is getting real love out there and I think I am all for it. I personally host a lot of my stuff on cloudflare due to it being free with cloudflare workers but if I ever have a vps, I am probably going to use anubis as well

Thanks! I used Screen Studio for the demos (https://screen.studio). I had to pay for it but I couldn't find the zoom+highlight feature anywhere else.

Regarding Heroku - I loved Heroku the first time I used it so I set up my Kubernetes cluster to work in a similar way (`git push` to deploy to production). I know K8s has a reputation for being useful only for large deployments/large teams but in my experience this isn't true. You can run a single node cluster and use it to host multiple projects all sharing the same load balancer, or you can scale up to thousands of machines with many microservices working together internally. Would it be helpful for you to see a HOWTO for setting up a Heroku-like K8s cluster?

I think this is mostly the fault of RLHF over-indexing on pleasing the user rather than being right.

You can system prompt them to mitigate this to some degree. Explicitly tell it that it is the coding expert and to push back if it thinks the user is wrong or the task is flawed, it is better to be unsure than to bullshit, etc.

I have almost no hope that this is a matter that has a technical solution. The GDPR shows that law - even if not global, and even if not widely enforced - is pretty good at getting people to act. And most importantly, it will make the largest players the most afraid as they have the most to lose. And if just a handful of the largest players online are looking after peoples privacy then that is a huge win for privacy.

Doing what this demo shows, is clearly a violation of the GDPR if it works the way I assume it does (via fingerprints stored server side).

The Zig Discord is a great resource for anyone learning Zig. At any given time, the zig-help forum is awash with questions from beginners like “How do you make for loop in reverse? or “What allocator to use in WASM?” Most get answered within minutes.

Am I the only one who feels this is a step back from platforms such as Stack Overflow? Discord is basically just a chat platform, and while it's nice that there are always people there who are willing to answer the same questions over and over again, you can't rely on that staying the same in the future. Whereas SO crowdsourced a "canonical" answer to a question, and if someone came up with the same question later (and didn't find the existing answer via the search function or Google), they could be pointed to that answer.

- Humans have awful reaction times, so the "AI" cars should fare 10-100x better. "split-second" is laughably slow to a computer.

- How seldom these scenarios come up for human drivers is a huge disadvantage for them. For self driving, it doesn't matter, the cars' reactions can be simulated in arbitrary scenarios as many times as needed, so even the rarest of scenarios can be ensured to be handled properly.

- There's nothing special about the decision to swerve vs to say, brake. I'd expect self driving cars to not need to swerve nearly as often because the need to swerve probably only ever exists due to excessive speed and/or poor following distance to the vehicle ahead.

> It's happened to me about 2-3 times and I've always made the "(assumedly) correct" split second swerve decision.

Easy question: Did you make that decision with full awareness that you would not end up in a collision path with another vehicle by swerving? Oops.

Even if you did, how many drivers do you think would "instinctively" swerve into another lane and get hit by an oncoming vehicle because they do not maintain constant situational awareness around their vehicle? The majority, at least.
