I love the work of the Raspberry Pi foundation. They have changed the market with their innovation and the fact that their hardware has staying power and a huge amount of support.

Some will object that none of this is the best hardware or that there are cheaper solutions but it doesn't really matter because basically none of the alternatives have such breadth of support.

You can get and Orange Pi or Banana Pi or cheap arduino clone for cheaper and some have better spec but invariably you will end up with a partially implemented SDK, linux images that won't be updated and drivers that often don't really work.

There are exceptions but with things like the Compute Module 4, you get all the advantage of a widely supported platform with the flexibility of building it in your product and knowing it will be supported for many years (if you can get your hands on it though).

The Pico is in the same vein: it has some innovative aspects, like the PIO and lots of RAM but it's basically a dual core Cortex M0+, just like another gazillion micros.

The difference is that it's extremely well documented out of the box; it took years for the ESP chips to get any decent documentation. It also comes with a boot loader and has support for at least C SDK, CircuitPython and MicroPython and there is basically no limit to implement other interpreted language platforms. Switching from one system the other is as easy as copying a file onto a USB drive and rebooting the pico.

Most small projects don't need Wifi. The ESP32 is great for that if you need it.

The RP2040 is also cheap. The Rpi foundation doesn't make a profit and they work hard at ensuring the hardware is as cheap as it can be. At USD1 it's a very competitive offering for something so versatile.

Now the main issue is going to be availability. They only make 40,000 units available for the next 3 months. It's basically a box of a few dozen rolls. A drop in the ocean.

With their usual success and the current supply chain issues, it's going to take months before it becomes widely available. Pretty sure we'll still be struggling to by more than 10 units at a time at this time next year...
I think you have to do this basically everywhere? Exception would be within the EU (and possibly within the US, though I thought there were license compatibility problems there).
Quite glad that this isn't available in the UK or Europe yet, hoping that our laws will prevent it !

I remember first reading about these. My reactions were something like:

Ok, they had video projectors in the late sixties. Fine.

Wait a minute. I hadn't even seen a video projector until the late eighties. They were non-existent at my university in the early nineties. I saw a small-lecture-hall one in 2000, and that was a large, hot and expensive-looking device. And these fellows had them thirty years earlier?

Blimey!
He does offer a few indirect references as to why running V8 on a microcontroller would suck. Like the section on polymorphic inline cache for method resolution.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Contrast that with Indiana who guarantees all high school graduate admission to Ivy Tech.

Texas is offering a way better deal and driving opportunity for a diverse group of students.
I would, er, plan on getting very used to wherever you are now, then. I'd assume most countries will require some sort of documentation on this.
Thanks for clarifying! My criticism was unwarranted.
Can anyone explain why [1] is not acceptable but [2] is?

I assume because its cars then it gets a free pass but bitcoin is disgusting and threatens the entire fiscal system so let's talk about how much electricity it uses? Is it propaganda? Currency in general uses lots of electric, so do cars, so do humans as a whole.

Is electricity 100% powered by renewables yet? We've made progress sure but we have a long way to go. And all the jobs that gas stations facilitate, I guess they are going away very shortly.

I suspect a squeeze is incoming - gas prices will rise as electric takes over, eventually gas will disappear as the last stations close up.

But, if it's anything similar to the IPv4 to IPv6 transition we have a few decades yet.

The article is not really about V8 not fitting on microcontrollers, but aside from that:

> In a nutshell, the problem is that on microcontrollers everything is firmware that is compiled, linked, and deployed together using really old-fashioned tools. Changing anything means changing everything.

The author hasn't seemingly heard of http://www.ulisp.com/ which is small enough to fit within kilobytes of memory and at the same time featureful enough to drive complex microcontroller applications. At the same time, it has a normal REPL running on the microcontroller that is accessible from the outside and usable for Lisp-style interactive programming.
1) and 2) aren't very relevant, I'd argue that if Plato does indeed help people then you should focus on that.

As to the remaining points, they all focus on helping mentors. I don't think they need much help, they're already well off and successful, the issue is that the mentees have to pay.

Plato would make much more sense as a non-profit, where you would finance engineering and marketing with donations, and mentors would donate their time.

I was about to say that I don't see this happening due to the way batteries are being built into the chassis.

Then I looked it up and it's being done right now with the Nio with a 3 minute battery swap in China.

Sure, but that's precisely the problem. So-called intellectual property is a scam, like all forms of so-called private property. How come there's empty houses and people sleeping on the streets?

One of the reasons Mexico is poor is because it had a disproportionately strong elite class dedicated to maintaining huge disparities in wealth through monopolies and more or less obvious slave labour.

When the industrial revolution rolled through town Mexico couldn't take advantage of it. Back then the US used to welcome anyone from anywhere with ambition and an interesting idea.

The contemporary US might want to take note.

I do not care about the pictures. I will get excited when they really discover something new.
The problem with that argument is that $42 million is a lot, lot less than $200 billion dollars, especially when divided across even just the population of the USA. Not even enough for a dollar per person - in fact, when you consider that's over something like a decade, it's probably more like a cent per person per year.

By comparison, the National Endowment for the Arts apparently has a budget of $162 million per year. I'm sure there are plenty of hungry people who have much more need for that money, so by your argument maybe we should shut that down and give the money to them. It'd certainly provide them with a lot more funding than just the money from Bezos' clock...
If it makes you feel better, efforts are being made to bring non-tyrannical operating systems to mobile in a braindead-easy, consumer-friendly fashion. You can search up loads of articles about the amazing stuff that the peeps running organizations like Pine64 and LineageOS have been up to.

I'm carefully optimistic!
Gorilla arms are definitely a thing, and purely touch-based UIs on the vertical monitors we have now don't work very well and will never become popular.

However, I had a touchscreen XPS 13 a while back. And being able to tap the occasional button or slider was _super_ helpful. Certainly more helpful and less jarring than the touch bar my Macbook has.

And consider things like the Microsoft Surface Studio, a desktop PC with a touch display designed to angle at a position that would be more usable with a pen or touch controls for longer periods of time.

We're getting there.
Is recharging on 110 even a thing? Even on a 50A RV socket you are talking 12hr recharge.
It's hard to substantively comment on this when the article is so tl;dr and written in wall-of-text style. What exactly is this proposed tech doing that can't be done by running a simple WASM interpreter on the bare metal? (JIT itself is generally off-limits on microcontrollers due to Harvard architecture, so interpreted code is the best case.)
What stands out to you with this business? Do you think it could hit 7-figures as a solopreneur effort?
There are confounders though that make such data not useful (I'm not sure how much statistics can find data in the noise or not though - but it won't be trivial). Red areas are in general more rural and spread out, while blue areas are denser population. Thus blue areas are naturally a different risk level. Also masks and political stance are not a perfect correlation. I personally know democrats who don't wears masks and republicans who do.
"scientists like me and my colleagues are on the threshold of gathering data that may be relevant to the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. But this evidence involves subtle findings about phenomena far away in the galaxy"

I'm very curious about this. It sounds like more than the standard spectroscopy that looks for organic compounds and other life signatures. Could anyone provide some more context?
Will consumers accept an obvious downgrade in the car range? Because I do not. Once the EVs market share will exceed the critical mass, charging electricity for EVs will become what petrol is now - heavily regulated, excise tax, etc. Recycling of the batteries is the elephant in the room.

It would make sense if that time wasn't directly monetized. If their revenues came form something else it would look much better.
I still don't quite understand what you're talking about. I hope you have a great day though.
You are misrepresenting the capability of AEB.

AEB will prevent you from rear ending someone at <10mph in stop and go conditions and knocks 5-20mph (being really generous on that upper bound) off the contact speed for higher speed rear endings (that most people won't ever get in over a lifetime).

It mostly does not prevent the kinds of accidents where people get injured (save me the anecdote about how your brother's roomate's uncle backed his semi into the loading dock a little too hard and hurt had a sore neck the next day).

Don't get me wrong, for what it does it works, but it is not the magic want the internet tends to act like it is. you have to weigh the potential improvement against the price of a new car.
There might not be one. Cicadas seem to have almost no predator avoidance instincts whatsoever. Wikipedia describes their survival method as "predator satiation"--that is, emerge in such tremendous numbers that it doesn't even matter how many of them get eaten.

Not really. I think some people associate driving a car with freedom of movement. I get it, when it's your primary mode of transport, it feels dystopian to have it taken away. Interestingly, I get a similar feeling in places with no/unreliable public transport or in countries where I can't walk through forests, meadows and fields. Not that walking through fields is my primary way of traveling, but it feels reassuring to know I can leave by just walking away (and then catching a bus to get home).
Thank you for making this and getting straight to the useful code. Too often, guides on quaternions stray into proofs and waste time for a programmer who just wants to apply the quaternion concept.
The comment you're replying to was in response to the parent comment, who said "Its not even clear how we are supposed to produce the necessary amounts of electricity"

You can argue about efficiencies (which it's true, should be taken into account) - but the point remains. The current grid already has very close to the capacity required for electric cars. Maybe we'll need to add a few power stations or interconnects, maybe we'll need to upgrade some local infrastructure here or there, but it's not like we're an order of magnitude off.

There's currently close to 100 GW of installed capacity on the UK grid (https://www.statista.com/statistics/496283/total-electricity...) - even if you completely stripped out all the variable-supply renewables like solar and wind, you'd still be left with a substantial margin. There's no solar overnight - true - but there's also very little solar on dark cloudy December days (when demand is often high) and the grid manages to deliver ~40GW peak then without issues. The pumped storage couldn't have been more than 2.8GW - because that's how much is installed. In fact, apparently overall demand has dropped year on year - the overall peak was 62 GW, in 2002.

At least in the UK, National Grid (the grid operator) agrees - https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/journey-to-net-zero/5-m.... There's not an issue with overall capacity.
There are still many ways to complete a college education. At best, college can teach you about rigour and timely topics that are both worthwhile and necessary for independent study. Some shortcuts to these could be, e.g., to work as an undergraduate research assistant.

Another option is VC type of funding. If you already have the chops to be convincing and work on relevant topic, places like Thiel Fellowship or YC might give you alternative approaches to learning.

As for Gates I do not know. In general, I would assume that the value of a university degree has only declined since then.

That's great, except they're already relatively hard to find as-is. (If you click on the links on that page -- Adafruit, Sparkfun and Pimoroni -- the RP2040-based products are pretty much all out of stock). Sort of reminds me of the Pi Zero, which in theory costs $5, but was pretty hard to find at that price for a long time.

Being optimistic, which is perhaps not warranted here, but bear with me: The EU is perhaps one of the few places in the world where there will be controls mandated on the data. I'm not at all convinced they'll be anywhere near abuse-proof, but at least I would expect to see an attempt.
Since this will get posted here anyway I’ll just get it done now. https://marctenbosch.com/quaternions/

I don’t entirely agree with the article’s viewpoint that people do not perfectly understand quaternions and therefore they should not be used, as I get the feeling there are many parts of 3D graphics that are not perfectly understood by developers, and that’s okay.
Ah, thanks. I tried to just type something from memory - definitely NNTP, Network News Transfer Protocol.
> Don't forget about the taxation aspect - as the sales of petrol and diesel fall, so does the tax revenue.

That depends on whether people put the money they save in a savings account, or actually spend them on other taxable goods and services. And it depends on the tax rate on fuel and electricity in that country. Fun fact, the consumer tax on electricity is much higher than that on fuel in Norway (and the fuel tax is pretty steep already here). But electricity is so cheap that it's still extremely affordable. And obviously, an EV will spend much less money on electricity, so yes, the revenue from tax on electricity will be lower.

But there's another side of the equation. Norway recently found out they could save millions on reduced ventilation requirements when building a new tunnel. It's also likely that health care costs will be reduced, although that's harder to measure.

IMO, governments should just increase other taxes if they have budget troubles due to the shift to EVs. Preferably higher taxes on the wealthy. Then we can slowly work on finding ways to tax according to actual road use. Maybe more toll roads, or maybe a tamper-proof device that measures and reports miles driven.
This happened to me, I've probably always had mild sleep apnea (always snored, always been overweight, and always slept on my wide) but I went up about 10KG and it got super bad to the point my wife was concerned and often heard me stop, got tested and I had a pretty bad result as far as the rest goes (stopped breathing like 40 times per minute or something).

The good news is I got a CPAP machine and couldn't be happier, now about a year in. My only advise is don't cheap out just get the top model with the features, e.g. you want autoset pressure, not static, the heated hose, and play around to find a comfortable mask. Now I stop breathing something like 0.3 times per hour which is apparently "amazing" you can still have up to 5 times per hour and be considered "OK". Also shop around as the place that tested me, kept trying to convince me to go with a static pressure model to "save money" even after making it clear I wasn't interested in that.. but I purchased my machine from perthcpap.com.au instead and the autoset model cost less than they wanted to sell me the static for. Go figure.

I had a few people I know who didn't tolerate it so well and most of them got non-autoset and non-heated and it makes a huge difference. The mask you use also matters a lot.

The difference to my alertness, how I feel after sleeping, and not getting super tired and needing a nap in afternoons is incredible.

TL;DR: Get a sleepstudy. At least here it's a home test where you just where a machine and a few sensors and takes 1 night.
P.S. I think the important bit is not to be religious about contracts and tests. Sometimes it's easy to write the contracts and have the function automatically tested, sometimes unit tests are clearer.

I tend to limit myself to simple contracts and do table tests for the complex cases to reap the benefits of the both approaches.
>They're about as disposable as toilet paper.

At least toilet paper serves a useful function.
I've tried the nose masks. Every night, my mouth would open, and the air being pumped into my nose would go out my mouth. It feels like my carburetor gets stuck in vapour-lock, and I wake-up in a panic unable to breathe. It would take a few seconds even after the mask is off for things to function correctly.

So I prefer the full face mask.
1) I don't want to be bothered every time I stop. Charge should be enough for 5 hours driving.

2) that is a nice example, but definitely not the norm.

3) the most important point is not longevity: it's predictability.
Ask HN: Non-Linear Wiki/Note App Suggestions
Hi! Yesterday I found a note-taking service which I fall in love (https://notabase.io). Problem is, it's in alpha stage and doesn't have backup or export option, so it's not reliable to use right now. Also, using it on mobile is buggy.

What I'm asking is if you people know there is any more mature similar app?

Tried TiddlyWiki which feels like notabase, but it's not as fast as notabase to create new notes/links and to navigate notes, also it doesn't use Markdown. Also couldn't figure it out to use it with Netlify/Github.

Thanks!
Or maybe our sense of whats important is warped because of the bubble we live in ?
It's way older than that. There are ancient Greek philosophers who seemingly devoted their careers to criticizing the phenomenon. I would guess it goes even further back, but, past some point, writing down one's thoughts on the subject wouldn't have been available to anyone who might want to write down their thoughts on the subject.
EV are displacing an existing technology and replacing it by centralized electricity production that is more cost-effective and can be swapped later on for renewables.

Bitcoin does not actually displace anything (at least with how it is used right now) but consume electricity.

In short, EV are a neutral change short-term and a positive one long terme as we move to renewables. BTC are a negative change short-term and could stay negative in the future.

Running V8 implies JIT and there is no JIT on most microcontrollers because they're based on Harvard architecture where no code can be written in data memory.
You may want to try reading your local building code. This may not get into engineering principles at the level you’re seeking, but it may effectively provide the functional understanding of how (if not why) a certain material/size has been specified in its application- esp. if you’re working from (or modifying) similar plans.

No, because just operating and maintaining a fission plant is more expensive than building out solar, wind, and storage, and operating those. (Never mind building and decommissioning nukes, another huge expense with nothing comparable for remewables.)

There is no place for nukes, existing or new, in a financially solvent future. Never was, really. It was always the high-cost choice, but (so) offered copious opportunities to divert money to ready pockets, like most high-ticket tax-funded projects in the US.
