> HDMI out and boots Linux, so could function as desktop replacement.

As someone who has tried to run a desktop environment on various Pi-like devices for years, with every generation being "the one that will replace your PC" I just laugh.

The modern web is nearly unusable with less than 4 GB of RAM and it's really easy to push beyond that. I personally would not recommend that anyone try to use anything with less than 8 GB of RAM as a general purpose desktop computer anymore.

You can do it, sure, but there will be significant compromises and limitations along the way. A secondhand x86 PC with 8+ GB of RAM is almost always a better choice for general purpose desktop use. Leave the "hacker boards" for roles that benefit more from their compact size, low power consumption, and/or specialty I/O capabilities.

I haven't tried the Pi 8GB, that should at least solve the RAM problem, but the lack of native high-speed storage still likely impacts usability. Here's hoping the major Pi-likes follow suit to offer variants with more memory soon.

And of course as noted by other comments, another major reason to think of these things more as appliances is the generally spotty support for updating kernels and the like that is unfortunately standard in the ARM world. That entire side of the industry is infected with NDA culture and has no interest in curing it.
Sounds like you have a solution that works for you.

What’s an Arylic board? Googling only revealed DIY Bluetooth speakers which don’t function at all in the same way.
They got rid of the super ugly [:] but introduced a new ugliness.. | and |= operators for dictionaries. Why is this so important that this needs special operators? Python should be readable by everyone who can understand English. I hate when languages keep inventing hieroglyphs, twisting my fingers to type |= takes even longer than typing .join.
With a 25" wall mount arm attached to the side of the tower, the screen hangs right over my bed. It does take a bit of balancing though depending on the weight of the screen and computer. I've got a 27" monitor on the side with the longer legs, and a large desktop on the opposite side near the ground
That sounds similar in concept, yeah. The brilliance of Orleans was doing it without introducing a new way of coding.

What baggage is associated with a phone number aside from perhaps the occasional nuisance call?
This is such crap, frankly. It's looking at a paper and genuinely not understanding why something works.

I'm 100% - probably higher - that if you make me do some random shit to use your product, I will not do it and will actively become a detractor.

The papers show that satisfaction increases if you delay eating. That's because of anticipating a dopamine reward.

I do not get a dopamine reward when I want to change my kube yaml. I do not get a reward viewing CI statuses. I do not get a reward opening slack. I actively dislike it.

Also, let's just look at one line of this blog post:

> Very few companies have successfully built a ritual around their products. It’s unclear how many have tried.

The title is also bullshit. As the post says, there's no proof it increases satisfaction and certainly not spending - AKA LTV, which is what you should drive. We should use our own critical thinking here and, if we try, at least try with ample caution.

And also, we should definitely distinguish between habit forming and ritual. A ritual is a process we are expected to run through. Things that we are forced to do, even if we don't want to do it. Habit forming may be gamification, rewards, etc. for normal activities we would be inclined to do anyway. If we force people to do things they don't want, it won't end well.

I implemented a [private] genealogical data entry system based on the GenTech data model, which has a "surety scheme" entity, designed to capture perceived uncertainty. I also added a "Fuzzy Date", where every date-like value was decomposed into all its constituent components (year, month, day, hour, ...), all optional. It could also capture a range of such fuzzy dates, so it was possible to enter a "date" such as "The first of a month no earlier than 1950 and before June 1990". There was a loooong list of validation constraints to attempt to prevent contradictions being entered, and I think I caught all the cases, but...

Ask HN: What are the most fun-to-play-with open source deep learning projects?
I have temporary access to a monster PC (32core thread ripper + 2x2080ti).

I've been playing with deep fakes which is fun (I look good as Neo fighting Morpheus).

But what other fun + awesome open source projects can I run with it before I have to give it back?

I'm a programmer (making apps, websites, games etc). But don't have a lot of deep learning experience though want to learn.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Have you ever dozed off on the road? I ask because unless you've experienced it, it would probably catch you completely off guard as well. Sometimes the part of your brain that would normally make you aware that you're falling asleep is the first to go. I think this happens more while driving because you think you're concentrating on driving but really your brain is shutting off bit by bit until you're finally at a point where you're basically a mindless zombie. It's happened to me before and it absolutely caught me off guard.
Not to mention the "system" solution will have to go through its own debugging and will undoubtedly have bugs in it for some time after initial release.

On top of that, there is STILL room for human error as a user is still the one actually inputting data and designing the experiment/data flow.

I'm going to get mauled on this forum given the audience, but parent comment reeks of the technical elitism on this forum and the tendency to immediately condemn anyone who is using excel.

Excel works great - I've personally built some very complicated models that work just fine. Goes through the same process of QA and line-by-line checking of requirements.

Not sure what the big deal is - mistakes happen in excel or otherwise.
Good points

Partly I think the Excel bit is news because Excel (and mistakes made with Excel) is easily relatable to people. But bugs always come up and most other bugs are just as stupid. If it had been an off-by-one loop error in some C code somewhere it would be just as dumb but you'd get none of the facepalm memes all over Twitter.
What is the judge's motivation to advertise for patent trolls to come to his court?
Anchoring the mind ... small thoughts.

Deciding what to focus on yourself instead of the app showing you random screens which the developer thinks are currently important. The tool being out of the way and only the important things in-front of you. Where only you yourself decide what is important.
I don't really agree with much of google any more but I was at one point fairly involved in a project there. They do have some more secure systems for government use that isn't the crazy leaky ad cesspool gmail and docs is.

For the same reason that it's insane to have two wolves and a sheep vote on what they are having for dinner.

You elect representatives, who set the law. The job of a judge is to enforce that law impartially. Looking at the track record of elected officials, it should be pretty clear that impartiality is not something that elections select for.

I'd add an occasional glance at the horizon too , if you're on a long trip. You can make it a game if you're driving a new route (guess which mountain is closest to the road you're on) Frequently changing focal distance helps a lot to prevent eye fatigue.
The fact that the justices assigned homework consisting of writing an essay on how the Seventh Amendment might come to bear on this case indicates to me two things:

1) They're pissed.

2) They are somewhat likely to favor Google, and to make a very narrow ruling affirming the district-court jury decision.

The SCOTUS is usually loath to set things broadly in stone. But if you bring a case where an appeals court wantonly overturned a jury's finding of fact, before a panel of justices considered to be such experts on the Constitution that they are appointed to the final authority for its interpretation... expect the CAFC to get a sound thrashing for what it has done.
I tend to lean in this direction as well. A 4GB RPi4 would work, but the Pi itself costs $55, plus a dedicated USB power supply, uSD card, the HDMI adapter I usually need, webcam, possible case/cooling fan (Pi4's can get hot), plus a spare keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

The total package ends up significantly more expensive than the "list price" of an RPi itself, and it ends up not making much more sense than buying a used x230 or something off of eBay for <$200.
The gene in question was "Membrane Associated Ring-CH-Type Finger 1", or MARCH1. Excel converted this to March 1st. They renamed it to MARCHF1
> You use structure, design away the complexity, implement constraints, error checking and tests.

I've never thought of Excel as an ideal tool for any of these things. I'm struggling to think of how it would have change-verifications/tests in the same way that software projects do.

(I'm certainly open to the possibility that I'm ignorant/unaware on this subject)
But the negative externalities don't seem all that big, considering. For every problem like this, you get countless millions of person-hours and dollars saved in work that wouldn't have happened at all, or would have been delayed, because of the necessity and cost of creating complex IT systems to support it.

If Excel is a sword tornado, it's one happening in an environment where everyone knows to be super vigilant about sharp objects. The alternative then would be a central processing factory that takes several years and millions of dollars to built, and which has to be turned off for a month several times a year, to change the shape of the blades used by the automated cutters.
The existing alternative to `a | b` was

{**a, **b}

You could see this as an improvement.

Sorry I am late replying. I was in the market for a phone, not an OS. I have no interest in learning and maintaining the skillset needed to change the OS on my phone.

I need a phone with robust support and good warranty. At the time I bought my iPhone 10S, it was a good choice, and I could even buy it locally to me. I was unaware of any option that would offer those things, was generally available, and didn't run Android (with Google Apps) or iOS.

iOS is a closed platform, but this is the only obvious negative thing about it, privacy-wise. You can opt out of every single cloud thing that ships with the phone, and most are even opt-in (for example, iCloud and Apple accounts in general). The phone ships with a robust suite of productivity apps, a modern web browser that is kept up to date, and many privacy options. And usually, opting out of something doesn't break some other random other feature on the phone for no reason. (I recently saw a recording of how you cannot have Google search installed on Android and refuse to share your call logs with it. Why? There are no such restrictions on anything on iOS, as far as I have found.)

> Time and location shifting are protected, at least in the US.

Can you share a citation for this? I'm a (former) lawyer and have never heard of a blanket protection for time and location shifting. It might be allowed for certain types of copyrighted content, or if done by the end-user. But I don't think there's a blanket allowance for all copyrighted materials, especially when a third party is involved.
I worked a month in Liberia to try building a disease dashboard for the ministry of health. It was maybe the most surreal place i have been. You could buy strong opiates over the counter at the pharmacy so i was high af all the time, wich helped ease anxiety and boredom from not being able to leave the secured flat i was assigned most of the time, but did not exactly make the experience less surreal. The whole country has like one ambulance and one Hotel for diplomats with a "western" restaurant and coffee place, i was allowed to go there between 1000 and 1700, but only taking the biggest road and if it got close to 17 you could already feel the mood swing and your hair stand up.

The sight of disability due to theoretically curable diseases like polio or forms of blindness was sadly common.

I did not find anyone who admitted to eating a human heart in the civil war, but one guy stoped talking and got a blank stare into the void and huge sweat pearls forming on his forehead, but i was not sure if it was due to war memories or because his friends tried to scam me, i preferred not to inquire further.

There was no real powergrid as the dam was still not repaired after the war so all important places had a diesel generator and usually had one or two power outages a day when there is some switchover or too late refill (i think). Especially funny in the hospital at night, when it gets pitch black and all machines turn off and the eery silence is only filled by the sound of vomiting and sounds of people in serious pain.

My Boss was an alcoholic and kind of comic savage who after a certain level of drunkenness would start hitting random guys on the ass and pointing to me when they turned around because he found it hilarious you can go to jail for being gay.
> Most people do not and would not drive while so tired that they knew they were likely to fall asleep while doing so

For most people, the other option is to stop driving to work and then be jobless and eventually homeless, make their kids go hungry, or go bankrupt. You guys seriously seem to be completely disconnected from what reality looks like for 80%+ of the population.

> In reality, only a tiny proportion of people drive while so tired that they might actually fall asleep at the wheel

You have no idea how microsleep works. It does not involve 'knowingly driving while tired enough to fall asleep'. This single statement makes it clear that you're expressing some pretty strong and sure-sounding opinions on a subject that you know nothing about. You (as in specifically you) could be experiencing microsleep on a regular basis and never even know it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsleep

And even when talking about the other cause - fatigued driving, are you suggesting that people come in to work late after every night they had poor sleep? I mean that would actually be a decent policy if not for the fact that a handful of instances of that in a year would get most people fired? Are you suggesting that someone shouldn't drive home after a long shift? (do they like, sleep at their workplace? have you thought through this?). And we're back to my first point - I don't think you understand what life is like for the majority of the population who live paycheck to paycheck and work any job that they can get just to survive and keep their kids fed.

As someone enjoying the 'privilege' of working in tech and having flexible hours and being able to arbitrarily work from home and having enough savings to take a 6 month long sabbatical without any financial strain, I can see where you might be coming from. As someone who spent the first half of their life working blue collar jobs and having a panic attack over an unexpected 300 dollar expense which literally meant I spent 2 weeks eating nothing but pasta, I'm pretty sure you either never knew or have forgotten what life is like for most people out there. Yeah for you and I being banned from driving is just a mild inconvenience and 'sigh, now I have to use Uber for all travel'. For most people, it's a life and family destroying sentence.
Ah, HIPAA.

Having looked at the marketplace for HIPAA compliant solutions for educational therapy patient record keeping (patient CRM, whatever the industry term is), I'd feel so much safer having my data in the hands of Airtable than the absolute dumpster fire that was every offering I saw.
All the devices being on the same network would be enough to correlate them.

> are simply disinterested in explicitly raising questions around White privilege

Most probably because many of them haven't seen a white person in their entire life, so we should stop making it about the "white man" only. I have a close friend who happens to be "white" and who went to teach in Burundi this start of the year and he told me that people were stopping him on the street to take photos with because they had never seen a white man in real life (or not from that close, anyway).
Thanks! This is something we're working on as we speak.
I hate that people use CSS Grid like this. For some reason, I see so many people reach for CSS Grid like it's the de facto solution for responsive design.

This is a bad design because you're tying the child elements to the grid layout of the parent. If you added an extra column in the grid, you'd have to go and adjust it for the full bleed elements.

IMO a better solution would've been to just use a column layout with flex box, where the children are containers at standard sizes (e.g. full-bleed, 80-characters, etc.).

Yes it adds like another tag or two, but it's semantically more sound. And from that extra markup we get a lot more flexibility, e.g. going from column layout to a slide show or something if someone wanted.

CSS Grids are good for grids i.e. layouts where you want control over flow in both axes. This is not a grid. You have one column of data where you are controlling whitespace.

This has become a real pet peeve of mine because it seems like so many people love css grid when it's actual use case is fairly rare.

Edit: I also want to add that this creates an uglier layout if you have variable width children. Because you'd essentially create a full-bleed container element just to add a non-full bleed child to it.

And I am sorry that this came across as kind of aggressive, this is something that's really been irking me with recent web dev trends. And I feel like a crazy person confused over why the world suddenly decided on Css Grid all day every day.
Buy a standing desk and put a threadmill underneath.

I have an electric standing desk from ikea, and bought a walking pad (movable and foldable) for underneath.

I was scared that walking would make it too hard to read code, but it actually works really well. I would recommend it to everybody.

Mostly I walk about 30 min to an hour in the afternoon. The rest I sit.
I love this idea, but I can't help but think that this is a very 2020 problem. Wouldn't you just print out your articles and bind them with a simple binder in a former life?
I would recommend two fixes.

1. Random assignment of judges to cases.

2. Any judge accused of failing to recuse from cases with a conflict of interest has to face a randomly chosen panel of judges. If the panel agrees that the judge has deliberately taken on cases with a conflict of interest, the judge can be removed from the judiciary.

The first would make shopping for a judge harder. For the second, the way he advertised and then his behavior when he got the cases is hopefully enough to convince a panel of neutral judges that he is biased.

The first would be a relatively easy change to make. The second is complicated by the Constitution, which reserves impeachment of judges to Congress. Something which has only happened 15 times.

However https://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti... argues, convincingly to me, that it is within the power of Congress to write a law enabling other judges to remove a judge. (Though not to criminally charge him for his behavior - that still requires Congress.)
The limitations discussed in the parent post come from a clearing system that must (for legacy reasons) support payments via cheques. There are many payment systems which don't do that (e.g. SEPA credit transfers in EU, and various other 'giro payment' schemes), and can do fast and cheap payments that are actually known to be fully cleared right after receiving them.

The key thing for preventing money-forwarding scams, however, is that all the commonly used payment systems in your society must be "reliable". If some are, and some are not, then the intersection of these payment systems opens people up to an "arbitrage" of sending "reliable money" after receiving "unreliable money"; you won't eliminate this type fraud by making a better payment system accessible, that will happen only after systems like cheques are driven out.
Yep Excel is a solid choice for some systems. Business people know it and it's a hard sell to tell them you want more time / money to use something they see giving them less.

Let's consider three claims:

1) X delivers tremendous value.
2) X has some significant problems.
3) X has no problems.

Obviously 1 and 3 are compatible. I claim 1 and 2 are also compatible (and, actually, not uncommon...).

You said that "[t]here's nothing wrong with Excel", and someone responded with an example of a problem that they considered significant. If we read "there's nothing wrong with Excel" as a strong claim of 3, then that's obviously a refutation of your claim. You could argue that the specific problems are not actually significant enough to rise to the level of notice. You could argue that they are not, in fact, problems at all. You could argue that you didn't, in fact, mean to make claim 3 in any strong sense (which I think is what was actually going on here - that's valid, English works that way).

You've instead interpreted it as a flawed refutation of claim 1 (and took the opportunity to demean your conversation partner). I don't think that's productive.
