many synth kits use a teensy or a similar board for their CPU so that the builders don't need to do the SMD soldering but can still use high speed CPUs
It might be harder for some to accept it now, given that it might hurt their preferred political outcome.
> better suited to a Teensy than an Arduino

In my experience, all projects I would do with an Arduino. Thus far, it's just been LED stuff. On Arduino I very quickly ran out of resources, then had to redo my entire project wiring to switch over to a Teensy.
I think he should shut his mouth next time and here's why - conspiracy theorists and click baity bloggers.

Right now, Bill Gates is huge topic in many African countries. My dad keeps infuriating me with stupid statements and questions like:

He's not a doctor, so how did he know? What gives him the qualification to make such statements? The covid virus is man made - he must be involved some how. He's going to make money by selling vaccines. His wife said there would be dead bodies all over Africa. Bill gates is a satanist - he and Steve jobs.

Nigerian government is pushing a mandatory vaccination bill for covid 19. And a Nigerian senator claimed on twitter that Bill Gates is behind the bill and that he bribed people...

I respect the man with his big heart. I'd pull my money and wait for these same people to come begging.
Many smaller devices do not require tools and are trivial to clone. Any of the victim devices will do. It's not only useful to attack a target computer.

Device identifiers and capabilities are not bound to the security level secret values. Drop off a pre-cloned video adapter in a conference room. If it is used and as a result authorized by a targeted computer at a later moment in time, it's game over. An attacker may now perform DMA operations unless the system has kDMA protection enabled. This requires kDMA support in the BIOS, IOMMU hardware, and in the Operating System.

The focus on DMA is however missing a very important observation about security levels from the research: There is a lot of attack surface when you're able to plug in a PCI(e) device as easily as a USB disk.

" we propose the following animation: Electricity as surface-to-surface rotational gearing between electron-shells on atoms (see movie below). "

That's not the mechanism for ordinary electrical conduction in metals. In my opinion the resulting visualization is very misleading.

Here is what I believe is the most relevant paper by Moschidis: https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.04268

I find it mildly amusing that this work is being done by mathematicians rather than theoretical physicists.

How to be a better partner at work
Happy to agree that terminology may vary; for the purposes of my argument, I only need that a large fraction of physicists do use the term this way, and that that sense is meaningful and important.

> Also-also, there's plenty of tabletop fundamental experiments. Superconducting cavity based axion searches for instance.

Yes, sure, such experiments could find new fundamental physics. (And it should be funded!) But the Bayesian credence the overall field places on this happening is quite low, and certainly much lower than a next generation accelerator. No table-top experiments have found new fundamental physics in many decades.

(Of course, the accelerator is arguably a much worse deal given its extraordinary price.)
That's interesting. As I said I work with Sega so I didn't have any first-hand experience with Sony at that time.

So given what you're saying here I'll amend my perspectives to say that Sony Japan just understood the American Market better than Sega Japan.
Your conclusion is hard to disagree with. I don't think anyone's saying all apps should be SPA's or no apps should be SPA's

I think what a lot of us are saying here is that SPA's in general are overused in our industry when simpler solutions are more appropriate. And that's having a negative effect on productivity and developer happiness.
I think it's also about different types of recipe collections.

There are cookbooks that are all recipes. This seems to be what the HN crowd is looking for when they search the internet.

There are cookbooks where each recipe is accompanied by a little story. These seem to sell well, judging by the number of them that appear on bookstore shelves.

And then there are cookbooks where all of the anecdotes are in the front of the book and the recipes are in the back. These are the ones I like because I can easily find what I'm looking for, but can still read the background about a recipe, if I choose. It's not right in front of me causing the actual recipe steps to continue on another page.

I think recipes and the internet don't mix, unless you're just looking up ingredients while shopping. It's one of the areas where a fat, old cookbook is always better, in my experience.

30 years from now, nobody is going to cherish grandma's dog-eared and tattered old iPad full of recipes.
As a fat smoker, I really doubt any MD ruled out the BMI off this equation. Every time I go to a medical appointment I am lectured about how my weight will kill me. Smoking? "Oh, you should stop, bye"
Sadly, I'd revert to the idea that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Incremental Static Regeneration sounds awesome for pages where you don't mind the data being a request behind but you don't want it completely static at build time. Seems like a really nice middle ground that lets you keep the backend simple and get the speed of serving static pages.

Yes. That would make me far more hesitant to travel internationally than actual fear of catching the virus or just having trip plans messed up because of closures.

But I'm likely to stick to US and likely just driving.

AFAIK the 32x, Saturn, and Dreamcast were all only a little more different from their arcade counterparts than the NeoGeo was

I think this is less true for the older hardware and even the DreamCast is somewhat more limited than its arcade board cousin.
Once upon a time I brought a team of star struck developers to the Valley. I reminded them that the people there were not wearing capes and flying to work. They were developers just like any others. It helped settle their minds and funny enough the flyover country developers produced code on par or better than what came out of the Valley.
I’ve found that The New Best Recipe cookbook covers this pretty well for me. They have an introduction to each recipe talking about all the variants they tried, and then there’s a clearly marked recipe section.

This is a false choice, he could easily do both.

From a quick Google it appears he has in fact contributed to efforts for food donation, as well as childcare for healthcare workers.
> He's not a doctor, so how did he know?

It was no different than warning us to get ready for the next Earthquake. Gates didn't know which virus or when, only that we weren't ready. You don't need to be a doctor to know that.
Not necessarily. These three models are the simplest ones - and our universe has a much different matter distribution than any of the three.

It's still possible that adding more features to the solution, such as mass or angular momentum, changes the stability. It's also possible we do live in an inherently unstable universe, but even unstable things can have long periods of time elapse before breaking down.

It's mostly an interesting mathematical curiousity.
AxeFX is the most true to life, the Helix is quite a bit simpler to use, the Kemper has the best "feel" of every simulator. They achieve very similar results sound-wise, all of them can be used in record production no problem.

IMHO for the bedroom player the Helix is the best solution as it's good enough and significantly cheaper than the other options.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of the Gates foundation and their public health efforts. However, I recognize that not everyone shares this sentiment.

The anti-vax crowd had painted Gates as the devil, and a non-insignificant number of people just don’t like him because he’s wealthy. In these ways, I don’t think there was anything more he really could have done. The reason that Covid has hit the United States so hard is because of a blatant culture of denial. As a country, we deny the news, we deny science. Had Gates tried to speak up more, it would have been met with denialism.
what is an acceptable solution? what criteria does the acceptable solution solve such as computation time and space, or is that a factor at all?
This attitude is very common in the US, and it surprises me. The US has done magnificent things. When did the US become a country that couldn't, rather than a country that could?

Building a rail network of that size is also not unprecedented. China is the same size as the US, and is a country with much fewer financial resources. They started construction on their high-speed rail network in 2006, and now that network covers almost half their country.

Another interesting thing I found, apparently they are now prototyping trains that run at 400 mph [1], which is 75% of the speed of a passenger airplane. I wager we will see trains that are as fast as airplanes long before we see functional sustainable airplanes.

This is a sweet project, but what's really awesome is how clearly he explains the whole thing, from hardware to software.

I'm also really impressed at the way that he uses the tablet to quickly and interactively generate diagrams in (mostly) real time while speaking. Sure, he could make a "cleaner" animation but doing it this way is just as effective and probably saves a ton of time.

I've used the Teensy 3.1 and it's more or less an Arduino (including uses the Arduino IDE) but lower cost and more powerful processor. There is also a way to build C/C++ code and run it on the Teensy. ESP is similar but has WiFi built in and Raspberry Pi is closer to a full blown general-purpose computer than an embedded platform. Software on the Teensy runs on bare metal, software on the Raspberry Pi usually runs on an operating system (Linux) and is not real-time.
Wow, I’m getting downvoted for this innocuous observation?
If a majority of the population doesn't exercise prudence, then it sounds like there is a very good chance for a restaurant to get back to full occupancy.
Thanks you made me google it ... wow interesting.
It usually doesn't happen in practice unless you're doing a lot of other things at the same time. Which you shouldn't be.

Of course audio is block buffered over (mostly) USB, and as long as the buffers are being filled more quickly than they're being played out, the odd ms glitch here and there is irrelevant.

As real-time systems Windows, MacOS and Linux are terrible from a theoretical POV, and they're useless for the kinds of process control applications where even a ms of lag can destroy your control model.

But with adequate buffering and conservative loading they work well enough to handle decent amounts of audio synthesis processing without glitching - live, on stage.
Also to add to your point, file storage is becoming ambiguous with cloud option and also very cheap and abundant on most devices these days, internet speed is fast enough that large file size is not that big of an issue, so the benefits outweigh its limitations. GIFs are still best way to quickly share something that is expressive and purely visual. There are other technologies to support looping visual, but nothing that has been universally supported as GIF has. I'll be happy to offer other formats once they become available in the future.

In my (quite small) experience, developing with NextJS has been a breeze.

Some time ago I've decided to rewrite a landing page, written in Node + EJS templates + JQuery, using some kind of static generator. I have always heard good things about NextJS as well as Gatsby, but after some exploration I decided to go with NextJS, since Gatsby seemed more complex and better suited for CMS/other complex websites rather than a simple, light landing page.

The developer experience has been amazing. Plus, I've found an awesome library[0] for dealing with i18n, which completely absorbed the pain of dealing with multiple languages: getting SEO right, make links work, and so on.

Plus, pairing NextJS with PReact, brought my pages first-load size down to ~40KB (external resources excluded), which I didn't think it was possible for something built with React.

The only things that I missed from CRA-like apps were environment variables, which have been added with this release, and a good integration with third-party tools like eslint, typescript and prettier. I did not use typescript because it was just overkill for a simple landing, and I'm launching eslint by hand and in the CI, so I really miss how good the integration is when developing a normal React App bootstrapped with CRA (which has all of this awesomeness out of the box).

Makes me wonder if a super barebones recipe site that literally just has recipes and absolutely no fluff would be something people would gravitate towards.

There are apps like that, at least. I use How to Cook Everything. It's from Mark Bittman, who was with the New York Times at the time it was published. I don't know if he is anymore.

A lot of the complexity comes from wanting to avoid single points of failure and building for scalability. Your shared hosting server was an orange, modern cloud is apples.

Sometimes you want an orange.
I rerender pages on demand like this, but also rerender the entire site every 6 hours. There's some computer science theorem that says tracking the dependency of which outputs are sensitive to which inputs is actually identical to solving the halting problem... i.e, no framework can actually track which pages are affected by which pieces of data. (This is true if you run custom code. If you are running in some type of limited non-Turing complete language it could be done.)
From a certain point of view, modern deep neural networks for audio are 'just' nonlinear adaptive filters on steriods.

Linear adaptive filters have been around for a long long time, and nowadays are everywhere. They can't capture the nonlinear behavior of effect pedals, not even just the waveshaper.

The model you are describing sounds like a 'wiener model,' which refers to a linear filter followed by some nonlinearity (i.e. the waveshaper).

There are other approaches to nonlinear adaptive filters, like Volterra series and kernel methods.

People have been using all of these techniques, and more, to approximate analog audio effects for decades.

A 'trained deep neural network' is not in principle that much different or 'less pure' than other nonlinear adaptive filtering techniques, just with a load more parameters. What matters is if the results are sufficiently improved to justify the computation.
The sample sizes are too small to claim such high specificity and sensitivity without any error bars.
Exactly. When you want a powerful processor that is going to basically do one thing very well, use a Teensy. When you don't need the power, use Arduino.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-covid-19-tests-...

Seems to confirm, 28% increase in the past month overall in tests performed per positive. But this graph doesn't give any regional focus unfortunately - all we can say is that on a national scale, the positive test rate is decreasing. It is entirely possible that there is an increase being hidden by a larger decrease in the hot spots, but the next month should give us the answer.
A bit of a bait-y headline.

I think the crazy thing is that we are worse prepared than if the virus broke out 5 or 6 years ago. If you think of the millions of dollars the Gates Foundation spent on lobbying government to be more prepared, it actively had a negative return rate.
Gear Browser – The milestone version v2.0 is released
A lot of those comparisons strike me as shaky.

It's easy to beat a naive logistic regression model with a good neural network, but the gap often closes once you start trying to tune the logistic model too. (And it's not like the neural networks aren't tuned either--architecture search, data augmentation, etc).

Recent review on medical data: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S08954...
I think flutter puts a nail in the coffin with its semi-declarative syntax.

While you're technically programming using an imperative language, they've somehow managed to make the syntax close enough to a declarative one that it isn't just a soup of bare object surgery (like tkinter or java swing).

They also, really went the extra mile to NOT have to do tree diffing[1], by making Widgets immutable, while still having a "detached" State associated with them.

And this is eerily close to the JSON-is-HTML syntax the author is proposing. A replication of flutter's strategy in pure JS is defininitely worth exploring.

Hm that sounds like a good solution. It's a bit more friction as I must ask people to make sure they follow a specific format (and don't forget to add it to the index page!!) rather than just clicking "new post" button and it doesn't have a "small team/space" feature like in Confluence, but it could work. These may seem like very small hurdles, but when you're asking people to do something they might not do on their own, every little bit of friction makes it less likely they'll actually do it, or more likely they'll be frustrated & resentful if you insist they do it.

I do like the date metadata & sorting from a blog like wordpress or confluence: automatic grouping by year, automatic ordering, as well as features like tags etc.
RPI straddles the gap between regular computers and embedded systems. It can perform some of the duties of each, but the drawbacks become clearer the further away from the middle ground your use case gets.
This reminds me of a very cool property of the Lua language that allows for very neat "syntax extensions", and reminds of functional languages too:

If you have two expressions adjacent to eachother, it evaluates to calling the left-hand side with the right-hand side as a parameter.

At its simplest:

function foo(text)
print("Foo:", text)
end

foo "bar"

But you could implement a JSX-lite in it:

function Div(props)
return function(children)
return ViewLibrary.createElement("div", props or {}, children or {})
end
end

Then, you use it like this:

Div{id="outer"} {
Div{id="innerA"} (),
Div{id="innerB"} {
Div()()
}
}

No compiler extensions needed! And with a bit of library sugar, you could do away with the empty parameter lists too (calling any unresolved functions with empty parameters), but this would lengthen the demo a bit so I omitted it.
Think of it as an ARM prototyping tool.

You would switch to the bare chip for production. [1]

Of course, for low production runs, you could stick the Teensy board in your product.
