I'm an FPGA engineer and I doubt they will go mainstream. They work great for prototyping, low-volume production, or products that need flexibility in features, but they are hard to use (unlikely to get better in my opinion) and it's hard to see where they would fit into a compute pipeline given that you need to transfer the data to the FPGA, perform your computation/processing, and then transfer the data back.

That said, they are very cool! And learning to create FPGA designs teaches you a lot about how processors and other low level stuff works.
It was being talked about as early as 2010:

Really interesting. But at the same time, after four zillion years of evolution, we still don't breathe in a reasonably optimal way?

This is completely speculative, but Suncor was filthy rich in 2011, so a temporary stoppage wouldn't have hurt the bottom line too much. Also, because of the Royal Tyrrell Museum, dinosaur fossils have become a part of Alberta's identity. The miners would have talked about the find and the company would have faced bad publicity if it had acted differently. Oil sands companies don't really need any more bad publicity than they already get.

Others who have explained mindfulness of breathing in a modern way are Bhante Gunaratana, Bhikku Analayo, Culadasa, Larry Rosenberg, Bhikku Buddhadasa (though his take is unconventional), Michael Taft, etc.

But as you have said there are many more techniques. I've heard the breath called a relatively difficult meditation object for beginners.

You’re welcome to not use it.

I don’t mean to sound overly negative but for small shops or individual developers there is simply no way for them to create a web, Mac and Windows version of their app at the same time. Personally, I’m glad that the likes of Electron give them the option. I’d much prefer a fully native version but I’d take Electron over nothing. You’re free to disagree of course, but no one is forcing you to install these things on your computer.
> This sounds horrendous.

Any "editorial algorithm", by the standards you have put forth, can be abused.
We're working on this, its fun, and already possible at lab scale. Check out Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS).

And we've got a huge shot in the arm with covid. At consumer scale the hard problem is skipping any kind of sample prep. Requires unrealistically high sensitivity - we're trying to work around this with different no-prep based amplification techniques. There is actually a lot of interesting work happening in this space.

Further, currently the substrates use gold to enhance the raman scattering of the incident light. As you can imagine, this can get pretty expensive. There has been some success in using low cost paper/inkjet, textile/dye based approaches to introduce gold nanoparticles onto more familiar and easily mass produced substrate to achieve the same effect.

SERS is pretty cool, hasn't got its due and I think its going to be one of the underdogs in the diagnostic/detection market in the coming years.

Whats especially cool about it is - it doesn't restrict you to one thing - only genomes, only proteins etc.

You may need a different strategy for different pathogens, detecting the a gene or cell wall for one, a synthesised protein for another, or even the waste product / metabolite to check if a reaction took place - its not a hammer looking for a nail.
I can’t read the whole article because of the paywall, but I wanted to talk about how COVID-19 has impacted my mental health, and it has very much to do with breathing.

I have always had bad pollen allergies and I have always had moderate anxiety. I live alone. Great family and friends but over the past few months I was completely isolated.

One morning, I felt a tickle in my throat, I was able to tell myself that it was just from post nasal drip and not COVID related. Well, later that night I started to experience shortness of breath, chest tightness/pain. Then, my limbs started to tingle and go numb and lastly my face.

I walked outside for one and a half hours at 10:00 PM, identifying three sounds, three sights and three body parts. I finally calmed myself down from what I learned was an anxiety attack. I suffered multiple episodes of this for 5-6 nights. It was almost always triggered by a thought that I couldn’t breathe or I wasn’t getting enough air or that my chest was tight. It got to the point where I couldn’t function, broke down into tears and at twenty-six years old, I went back to my parents house.

I have been here for about a month. I had a couple minor episodes here, my parents were able to talk me out of it. I was also prescribed medication for the anxiety (so far this has been a tremendous help). One day, I didn’t feel anxious at all but I noticed that I couldn’t take a full deep breath most of the time. My parents told me it’s allergies, but the thought in the back of my mind that it was the virus or worse was always there.

I called my doctor again, he prescribed me singulair. It’s helped considerably but every time now that I take a deep breath I am extra thoughtful about it. I’ve been meditating and doing breathing exercises as often as I remember now and it has helped.

That being said, even if I don’t actually get the virus, this virus has taken a toll on me and my mental health. The isolation, not being in an office and hypochondria have negatively impacted me in ways I never would have imagined. However, I’m stronger for it now.
Holy shit I thought that was a whole different sort of “loon” when reading the title

I've tried out an early version of their product, and I really like where they're headed.
Imagination Fences
Self-driving cars. Now that the hype is over and the fake-it-til-you-make-it crowd has tanked, there's progress. Slowly, the LIDARs get cheaper, the radars get more resolution, and the software improves.

UE5's rendering approach. They finally figured out how to use the GPU to do level of detail. Games can now climb out of the Uncanny Valley.

The Playstation 5. 8 CPUs at 3.2GHz each, 24GB of RAM, 14 teraflops of GPU, and a big solid state disk. That's a lot of compute engine for $400. Somebody will probably make supercomputers out of rooms full of those.

C++ getting serious about safety. Buffer overflows and bad pointers should have been eliminated decades ago. We've known how for a long time.

Electric cars taking over. The Ford F-150 and the Jeep Wrangler are coming out in all-electric forms. That covers much of the macho market. And the electrics will out-accelerate the gas cars without even trying hard.

Utility scale battery storage. It works and is getting cheaper. Wind plus storage plus megavolt DC transmission, and you can generate power in the US's wind belt (the Texas panhandle north to Canada) and transmit it to the entire US west of the Mississippi.
The other day I was on a livestream's chat where a Londoner wrote "it's 11pm GMT here in London!", which I noticed was wrong because it was 10pm GMT (and it was 11pm BST).

If he scheduled a call for 15:00 "GMT", he would call in at 14:00 GMT instead and wondered why the international callers aren't showing up.

So the kind of "automatic fixing of ignorance" Google does could be annoying and ruin some stuff.
I mean, I hadn't used flask since 2014, and had never used sqlite, plotly or an esp8266 (as a wifi transceiver) before. The project was intended as a learning exercise for playing around with those tools. Someone who just wants a CO2 sensor would buy https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0784TZFRW/ , which isn't much more expensive than my pile of components and has way more functionality; and someone who was interested in the messing with technology aspect would want to figure it out for themselves. There's maybe 200 lines of code total, in the entire project. Someone who wasn't as determined to wander into blind alleys as I was could do it in a weekend.

No problem! We just released major updates this week. :)
If you have a 10 person team and your game makes $10M after roughly 2 years dev, with Unity you spend about $2,036,000 but with unreal you pay $2,500,000, just taking development and licensing costs into account.

If unreal gave you 20% more productivity due to being more stable, I think even successful games come out ahead by being able to release sooner (saving money on dev time), or by better sales from having a more stable and visually appealing end result.

Unity is costing me days per week right now fighting with flickering terrains or line renderers that throw errors, all stuff that ends up in the ever growing "known issues" list
Do you think developers make up a significant portion of Mac buyers? I think it's possible, but I'm not sure.

I am pretty sure the laptop market has been shrinking generally (as more people have a phone but no laptop). And most developers I know have macs. They probably don't want to make the OS significantly worse for developers...
I think what's happening is bare processed silicon wafers are cheap enough that that other costs of a panel are starting to dominate. That pushes you towards using high efficiency cells in order to reduce number of panels needed.

I think Perovskites are interesting because they are cheap and can get you 25% efficiency in a single layer cell.
I focused on PV in college and the fact is solar is dirty and they haven't planned for end of life recycling. The potential is great and we will get there im sure, but I always thought it was irresponsible to subsidize and widely roll out especially the early stuff in the 90s that was very inefficient and filled with heavy metals and REE. I'm not up to date now but the only thing I can say is at least the efficiency is better even if they are using similarly toxic elements.
My dream platform would be essentially a revival of OpenDoc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFJdjk2rq4E), except it's built on top of the Common Lisp Object System, a dynamic object system that supports multiple dispatch. Users can integrate components either programmatically (like Unix pipes but with even more flexibility) or through a GUI interface. GUI programs would be written in such a way where its UX is highly flexible. The desktop environment should be fully themable, and GUI programs written for this environment must comply with these themes. This themability allows users to choose how they want their desktop environment to look. If they like Material Design, they can use a desktop that adheres to those standards. If they like classic UIs like those from the classic Mac OS or Windows 95, then can choose those options and the programs would fit those standards. They can use themes that have entirely different design standards.

The goals of my dream platform would be composability and flexibility, the complete opposite of monolithic applications and opinionated UI/UX design. This would run on Linux/BSD and would be implemented in Common Lisp, though there will need to be some ways to allow programs written in other languages to access CLOS objects since developers should be able to code in the languages of their choice.

I don't think the two are the same thing. I can't speak for everyone, but when I talk about AI in the context I'm talking about opaque systems with no obvious connection between my action and its response.

The sorts of things phones used to remember I'd never refer to as AI. A list of contacts sorted by the frequency with which I use them isn't AI. A list of contacts sorted in an order I don't understand, with a slight preference for frequent contacts, is.

The latter have proliferated recently, hence the shift.

It is unfortunate that Facebook still allows this:

> The most interactions on the News NT Wayback Machine link comes from a public Facebook group, Trump for President 2020, which is administered by Brian Kolfage. He is best known as the person behind the controversial nonprofit We Build the Wall. Using the technique of keyword squatting, this page has sought to capture those seeking to join Facebook groups related to Trump. It now has nearly 240,000 members, and the public group has changed its name several times— from “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP [OFFICIAL]” to “President Donald Trump [OFFICIAL]” then “The Deplorable”s ” and finally “Trump For President 2020.” By claiming to be Trump’s “official” page and using an impostor check mark, groups like this can engender trust among an already polarized public.
What is this site? Firefox gives me an invalid cert error - the page is apparently presenting a certificate issued to cloudflare-dns.com. The site has a Wikipedia article (archive.today) which mentions something about blocking the Cloudflare DNS resolver, but the machine I'm on uses the default (ie my ISP's) resolver. Does anyone know what's going on here?
Not really. Sometimes the more productive thing to do is to step back and rewrite everything. The up-front cost gets amortized over the long term benefits. The asymptotics become important for a business that intends to exist far into the future.
I don't agree with everything the commenter is saying but they are pointing out that the Western District Court of Washington is a federal district court under the 9th Circuit's jurisdiction, so for this new rule to have significant weight it would need to be affirmed by the 9th Circuit
The "loophole" in question is the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

I'm not completely sure that this should be called a loophole, but I am having trouble thinking of another term for it.
I'm not. I knew a developer who, in his spare time, developed a clever scraper. He scraped the top stories and results from Google, then scraped similar content based on Google's own ranking, then submitted that content to his own aggregator sites (all resolving to the same server). He ran ads on it. He got plenty of traffic and was net <$500/month in 2006.

It's not that expensive to run a site and the right advertising partners (cough Taboola cough) pay nicely.
Sane and life-changing breakthroughs.
At 25 with post nasal drip and asthma, I had the same experience I was alone in my Brooklyn apartment for 9 weeks. I had the same progression and my first real experience with panic attacks and am now also at my parent's house but I've been here for less than 2 weeks so far.

This read like my experience entirely. This whole thing has really taken a toll and before this I wasn't really one to panic about anything.
Here is my take, I wrote this quickly but I want to add onto it, let me know your thoughts

I've had good experiences with personal Wikis before, but have fallen back to plain notes. I think notetaking by itself is immensely powerful and underappreciated in general (wish I had started earlier), and all that's necessary is building a habit out of it. Maybe this can give it a little extra spice (hopefully not as cumbersome as a full blown personal website).
> In the context of the early Web, should we have prevented any company from making their own website?

Well, websites are now a bundle of arbitrary remote code execution called javascript, we didn't allow that, so by today's standards, ya we did.

> Enforced some standard for how your website UX should work in the name of security and usability?

Well, html, so ya, again, ya we did. And we could again. A lot of the functionality of apps simply don't justify requiring you to run a program.
Cool, i never realized eels had such a complex life cycle and i didn't know we took so long to learn and understand it.

It's interesting when you compare it to species such as salmon where their life cycle has been understood fairly in depth, independently on two continents for well over 1000 years. Yet salmon also have a fairly complicated that varies from species to species.

Deep Learning driven NLP. We've seen massive advancements in research, but from personal experience working with a few startups, these new forms of NLP are just beginning to hit the market now (most companies are still using Classical NLP techniques like part of speech tagging etc). It's a huge space and I can't wait to see its use cases expand.

Brain-Computer Interfaces.

Augmented Reality. As someone in this thread mentioned for self-driving cars, I think the hype cycle for AR is in the right spot for us to begin seeing real advancements in the next couple years, especially with Apple's recent announcement.

From the article, it sounds to me more like the AI itself is rendering individual frames of the game. It takes the last frame and the current state of the gamepad as input, and outputs the next frame. They've effectively replaced the entire game code with a neural network.
Like omfg the u.s.a. sucks. Drunpfie make world better. U.s. bad. China good!!! Omg I cant believe the symbolizm going on rn.
Pretty much the same thing happened to me. Hope you feel better!

Some notes from my own experience: Anxiety meds themselves can cause shortness of breath. Withdrawal from anxiety meds can cause further anxiety. Benadryl to treat post nasal drip can cause difficulty breathing. If you're laying down a lot, especially after eating, that can cause heart burn which if you're not used to it you would think your lungs are burning.

If you can - get tested. It will improve your confidence and help you get out of the funk.
Perfect example of how the idiot media don't do their fact checking before dashing off an article!

Google recently started doing this. I literally never click google ads, and today about four times I've click on ads because the thing I want is result #1 but just as I'm about to click three ads load in and I click the first ad.
Even though you said it was going to break before I watched it, it was still very difficult and surprising to see it happen. Especially if you watch it from the beginning with all the work they put into it.
> These glitches come from the strange way in which Docker deals with permissions and security. Contrary that what you mean read, it is not a simple matter of setting user and group identifiers: it may be sufficient on some systems but not on systems supporting Security-Enhanced Linux which require additional care.

Does anyone have any general advice on the best way to deal with Docker file permissions issues on recent Ubuntu LTS distros? As a new Docker user this has proven surprisingly intractable. As mentioned in the quoted text, simply setting UID / GUID to the same doesn’t seem to do the trick most of the time. I see podman has been mentioned in this thread but is there a native, no-dependency, no-new-tool way to handle this? I feel like I must be missing something simple. Grateful to hear anyone’s experience.
> I really thought this misinformation video people found a loophole to not have to pay for what bandwidth actually costs. I really thought that Google had offered a free CDN for everyone, limitless, when they (and Amazon, and Microsoft, and Akamai) charge huge amounts for this as a cloud service.

> Yeah, that was sarcasm.

Maybe so, but I came across a streaming site (of questionable legality) that did exactly this. Loaded an iframe with what looked like a random domain (always two first names, like "PedroMaria.xyz"). Then the iframe made a bunch of XHRs to load chunks of movie data from Google Drive. It was really quite fascinating.

Aside, this is one of my favorite things about using uMatrix with aggressive defaults -- as you unbreak sites, you learn a lot about what services are commonly used to build websites.
Yes that's useful but it its too bad you need an entire app for the BBQ. If it could push that info on your your home's info bus along with the other IoT stuff then you would just need one app for all.
> I don’t think DynamoDB is marketed or viewed in the same way. The docs are pretty clear about needing to design your data model to specifically work well with Dynamo.

More importantly, AWS is very explicit in letting newcomers be perfectly aware that DynamoDB's usecases are, that they are very specific niche use cases, and that if users require schemas and joins then they should just stick with either relational databases or graph databases.

Those who overpromise will always disappoint.

It's probably a case of "I don't miss what I don't use" then. I'm a power user, I cut my teeth with MS-DOS and I've been using Linux for work and gaming for more than a decade (and less intensive usage before that) and I really never noticed anything about HiDPI. That has to mean something :)

This is what I scrolled all the way down this thread for - to see if anyone thinks this is a good design/security decision on Apples part. I’m trying to understand what the reasoning is for this particular decision and if it actually makes the OS more secure in any meaningful way? Or does it actually- just degrade performance with very limited benefits? Are there any real benefits to this VS current security design in popular Desktop Linux distros at this point?
