Unfortunately vendors are somehow constitutionally incapable of providing useful technical information for eInk displays. It's so frustrating that there's a huge graphic extolling it's FPGA based refresh technology but actual technical information is almost completely absent. Why can't I just get a datasheet?

I'll summarize here so other people don't have to grep through this mess.

HDMI input

~5Hz refresh in mode A2

There are 3 modes, GC16, A2 and A2+, no technical information is provided but there are some tiny (simulated?) screenshots. It appears that mode A2, the "high refresh rate" one is purely black and white with no gray.

Joe Rogan Interviews Robert Downey Jr [video]
Tesla regen is far more powerful and useful than engine braking no matter how much downshifting one does. With the new "Hold" mode it is possible to drive a Model 3 for days without ever touching the brake pedal.

It is also possible to drive down a 20% hill (Marin in Berkeley) without using the brakes or gaining speed. My stick shift Accord would gain speed in first gear all the way to redline within a couple blocks.

On my Spark EV which also has better than gas engine/manual regen (but less than the Tesla) I expect the brake pads and rotors to last at least ten years based on wear three years in.
Is grayscale achieved by dithering algorithms inside the FPGA controller or is this some other E-Ink wizardry that actually can handle grayscale pixels?

I mean there was a HN post about a full RGB-E-Ink display last week or something. Any spec or pricing is behind a NDA, though.

EDIT: Nevermind, they explicitly state it's 16 level grayscale.

>I dont know if this will change HN's perspective on Firefox and Mozilla.

Even if it did, what can we do?

Giving Chrome more market share gives Google more power to shape the future of web technologies, controversial stuff like Manifest v3 and AMP that HN loves to hate.

Personally I'm rooting for Firefox and Mozilla, not out of being a fan of them, but because I'm afraid of the alternative.
Firefox did become horribly slow compared to Chrome and lost a lot of market share in the tech savvy community because of it. I also don't understand how they could fall so far behind with their primary product.

(they finally caught up again now, I switched back to Firefox about 2 years ago)

But:

Google pushed Chrome on desktop very aggressively via Google Search and bundling Chrome with every software download imaginable.

Then came the rise of mobile and tablets, with forced Safari on iOS and Chrome by default on Android/Chrome OS, with little incentive to switch...

The bulk of market share loss was inevitable.

I can’t edit my other post anymore, but I it’s worse than I thought. I’m not sure the PERC 740 supports nvme at all. Only examples I can find are S140/S150 software raid.

No idea if 7.68TB RAID1 over two drive with software RAID is much worse than a theoretical RAID10 over 4 3.92TB drives.... apparently all the RAID controllers have a tough time with this many IOPs.

Yeah, this is one of the things I'd like to explore when I make the formatter more full-fledged and not a 10 line bash script.

I'm hoping to try marking the datastructures of each filesystem as a bad block or something similar in the others, so that as long as the shared data isn't removed or modified, writing is OK.
I am not certain that Chrome replacing Firefox market share was not inevitable with a reasonable product. Between the promotion on google properties and android name, it had to be bad to not get significant market share.
Oh, thanks. Looks like it has 5 Hz refresh at best. So, probably not good for coding as they claim; 200 ms is a lot of lag for typing.
Thanks for the reply! This work is fascinating and while I'm not a python guy I'm going to play with your library a bunch.

I do think you should investigate comparisons to adaptive FIRs much more. This field is critical to the design of low power medical devices like hearing aids, which need feedback reduction, echo cancellation, and the like with minimal filter orders.

My question on correlated parameters was a bit more abstract. Often in the design of classical audio signal processors for creative applications you find that the user space parameters can be correlated, which map to more design space parameters that are even more correlated, and down to implementation level parameters which are even more correlated. For example in a filter designed by frequency sampling, the adjacent bins of an FFT are highly correlated in their I/O and I was curious if you optimized a bit by taking a DCT or similar approach for reparameterization like you'd find in calculating MFCCs and the like. It's really tough to design ML approaches for creative signal processing that are better than traditional methods due to this nature, humans learn and adapt to correlations very quickly, machines not so much when dealing with oscillation and ripple. Many local extrema in the parameter space and all that.
This sounds like you should aspire to overthrow, not become, management.

Few ungoing experiments in the US (that I know of), more hype in news articles and conversations about tech policy, which is why my optimism is still very cautious. There are a lot of things that sound good in theory but fall apart when tried out in practice. So I'd like to see more evidence that flat management structures really work at scale before I jump on that train.

But in principle it makes enough sense that when I see an article in Slate or similar[0] that's championing them, I don't dismiss it out of hand. I want to see more evidence that any working examples that do exist aren't just very rare, temporary exceptions to the rule that hierarchy is necessary. But the idea seems worth looking at.

This principle is the same reason I'm also very cautiously optimistic about ideas like UBI. I'm cautious of anything that sounds great in theory but that has comparatively little practical data behind it. My understanding is collectives are more common in Europe, but it's not clear to me how that experience will map to the US.

That's fair. But in my experience that's rather rare and easy to work around.
I did that a lot at my last job and found that the debugging was pretty quick. There’s always some race condition from some asynchronous function somebody called without waiting for the callback. Does TS help with that?
DDSP modules are helpful in situations where you want to impose some level of interpretability and modularity. Most also don't have parameters themselves, but must have them provided by another network or variable. So you could imagine for instance feeding your data through a NN that then predicts filter coefficients, then running the same data through a filter with those coefficients (if you wanted to enforce time-varying linearity for interpretability let's say).
Firefox got where it was by being faster and less bloated than the current alternatives at the time. Then it lost its way completely and Chrome was that and took all the market share. There’s a theme here. People like fast browsers that just work and don’t do a lot of extra crap. If Firefox ever wants to take market share this is a great time to do that with how bloated Chrome is becoming and how much privacy it constantly encroaches on. If Mozilla is smart it will figure this out and go for the kill. Is Mozilla smart? I keep trying to use Firefox and every time I go back to Chrome (or Brave or Safari on my phone) because Firefox is too slow, it changes radically every version, and things just don’t work right in it that do work on other browsers. I don’t need marketing, I just need them to make the browser better. I’m the target audience; I want to switch!
The concept happened way before that too. Even though the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga had different floppy disk formats (and were bitter rivals), because they shared their main processor (MC68000) a great deal of games and software were available for both.

Occasionally, that happened on the same floppy disk, via a horrific sector format interleaving trick invented by Rob Northen (who did a lot of copy protection stuff at the time). Notably, the Future Publishing magazines ST Format and Amiga Format started out as the combined ST/Amiga Format and the "coverdisk" was exactly that - readable by both, with different files on each machine.

The statement you quoted is simply a fact, not badmouthing. If there is any badmouthing by implication, it wouldn't be "all" C++ developers, just those who don't realize they're doing something spooky when their code looks like Foo *foo = new Foo.
I wonder where that impression comes from? The Rust project is surprisingly diverse there and especially the moderation teams run the gamut from very progressive to very classic conservative.

We have a common boundary agreement (that's what the CoC lays out), but other then that, you'd be surprised of the number of opinions you'd see.

Granted, some of the very public figures are very progressive/leftist, but they also do their legwork for it and generally keep that on the side when they speak with their Rust hat on.
"purity" is an odd word choice there when "homogeneity" or perhaps more neutrally "uniformity" are equally accurate.

more broadly, when i see/hear this line deployed by westerners in regard to certain east asian countries, I always wonder if such westerners think such statements are generalisable to other nations, or if they have considered whether other specific cultural factors than uniformity are in play and causing/contributing heavily to the supposed higher level of mutual trust.

It's my view that, other factors disregarded, having fewer cultural/ethnic outgroups does not magically result in higher levels of mutual trust in a society. After more than 4 years in Korea I am tired of westerners using Korean society as a shining beacon-like example of cultural/ethnic uniformity in order to air their beefs with immigration in their home countries (and no, that isn't how I interpreted the parent comment; just pursuing a line of thought).

Another interesting thing to consider: the prevalence of general corporate and political malfeasance in Korea and Japan relative to their status as highly developed nations. Certainly no culture-driven concern for the wellbeing of countrymen there.

edit: Ahh just looked at the parent poster's post history and am now happy to issue a big fat Never Mind. At least I got the thought out.

I think I’m alone in this, but JavaScript is a neat language that is incredibly powerful and expressive (minus a few warts). Most of the problems that arise from it seem to come from undisciplined work habits and a lack of code review. As long as your team is smart enough to not call all your function arguments “args” or “data” or “params”, the asynchronous flows are really nice. IMO at least

Since no one threw out any percentages, I'll take a shot at it.

I think the first engineer employee should get 2-3%, next three should get ~1% each. Sam Altman has said he thinks the first 10 should get 10% total [1], so you could front load the early employees even more.

We're a long way from that. The offers I got were in the .02-.03 percent range with most of the standard terms. Not even a 10 year exercise window. This was as one of the first 5 engineers.

Why is it like that? Guess people can hire a sufficient number of engineers without offering more. Maybe with FAANG squeezing everyone out we'll see the numbers go up, I wonder if they've been going up already.

I was certainly disappointed with my equity offers, for that YC has said about rewarding early employees, I was expecting more. Oh well.

> Uhh... it was a normal exception that triggered the bug in question.

That doesn't count because it was an invasive monkeypatch that took a function that could not possibly cause an error and made it throw.

> My point is this: the bug wasn't assuming that the second function wouldn't fail. The bug was assuming that the same cleanup code was appropriate in the case of either failure.

Maybe. Hard to know for sure.

> In fairness to Python, this is an atypical case.

I dunno, pretty much any code that uses a catch block to undo things has to be very carefully written. Even if you're wrapping things in higher level objects, you still have ugly scenarios where you're mutating a data structure and have to unwind the changes halfway through. I bet tons of that code is written under the assumption that there will be no exceptions.

I guess if we consider "trying to catch KeyboardInterrupt at any level without immediate exit" as a weird barely-supported case, then things are fine.
> TypeScript's major weakness is that it doesn't want to break away from Javascript.

No, it is not. That is exactly the major strength of Javascript! It is an addition to the landscape, for people, who can make use of it.

For everyone else, there is already Javascript "successors", that break with Javascript, but compile to Javascript. But they also are a new language, or, another language. You named one: Elm.

Not so TypeScript. I can gradually upgrade my codebase. And I can reuse knowledge and components, I already have. I am so happy about Typescript. How else could I continue using ES3 on the Windows Scripting Host and have modern Javascript tooling? For me TypeScript is the "better" Javascript. An evolution, rather than an exit strategy.
My IDE is Vim/i3/bash.

So the IDE stuff isn’t extremely advantageous for me.

But that’s the reason Typescript was created.

A convenient side effect of that for me is that I can manually use the same clues an IDE used to understand the code base I’m working on easier, faster and with more confidence than I would be able to in a vanilla JS project.
