See a sibling comment from @yoursunny about "hats." Microcontroller boards tend towards being general purpose, meaning you have to add sensors and actuators to realize any kind of useful application. For some of the more mature boards, there are aftermarket "hats," which are pin compatible boards that contain functionality to suit your interests, such as controlling relays, small to large numbers of LEDs, various physical and environmental sensors, etc. Many of these "hats" are accompanied by code libraries, so you don't have to delve too deep into the guts right away.

It wouldn't hurt to look for a completed project where someone has posted a tutorial on how they did it, and duplicate it. Then you can take small steps towards adapting it in a creative way, e.g., by writing new code for it, or adding more hardware goodies.

Like programming itself, you have to let hardware hacking grow on you. Maybe it will and maybe it won't. If it does, then it can be a fascinating rabbit hole to go down.

Agreed. The brass part is obviously higher quality, but I also wonder if it was intentionally plastic so that it would breakaway instead of damaging the battery in an event like this. If that was a design decision (not a cost decision), it would actually be a better idea to stick with the jb weld plastic part than go with brass.
QR track and trace is also used here in the UK, quite effective in my opinion although with lockdown being lifted the app will be scrapped.
The bureaucratic wing of the new class has other special rights and privileges as well. For starters, its members are virtually unfireable. “Death—rather than poor performance, misconduct or layoffs—is the primary threat to job security at the Environmental Protection Agency, the Small Business Administration, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Office of Management and Budget and a dozen other federal operations,” a study by USA Today found. In 2010, the 168,000 federal workers in Washington, D.C.—who are quite well compensated—had a job security rate of 99.74 percent.

I'm not sure what to make of this. This is new to me. I have some familiarity with both tarot and astrology.

I tend to think of tarot and similar systems as being akin to a Rorschach test: What you see in the cards is sort of a projection from your subconscious. That doesn't mean it's useless or meaningless. It just means it's not "magic." It's more like a psychological trick to help you figure out what you think is going on.

Astrology likely began as observations about a relationship between events in the sky and events on earth at a time when people were much more exposed to the elements and there was less light pollution. You looked up to the sky and saw the phases of the moon and pattern matched to tides, wind patterns and other things on earth that modern science has affirmed really are influenced by the sun and moon. You began keeping records and talking about observed associations.

And then at some point it kind of jumped the shark and now people imagine they can predict when you will metaphorically "win the lottery" (often without even buying a ticket) instead of something more akin to predicting the weather.

At first glance, this appears to likely fall in the "Rorschach test" camp.

I really appreciate the way you're looking at my post even though you do not share my views. Yes, I am somewhat worried about micromanaging in-and-of-itself, but my main concern is that the kinds of controls the government is imposing here don't seem to come from a legitimate basis, a law passed by representatives.

I don't think every single thing an executive does needs to be explicitly enumerated, but in this case forbidding songs above a certain BPM just seems excessive. I do not think public health and safety laws had such finely detailed actions in mind when they were passed decades ago. And as a measure to try and stop COVID, what they're prohibiting is very indirect and hard to effectively measure.

I don't think these restrictions are the kind of government oppression worthy of throwing tea into harbors for, but I do worry just how much we allow governments to control in a state of emergency. Especially stuff like this, which make you wonder "who gave you the right to ban this stuff in the first place?"

That is because, for historical reasons, they are generally not legally able to. Tesla has actually done great work pushing back on the requirements many states had to franchise automobile sales.

My experience aligns with this post: https://www.jtolio.com/2016/03/go-channels-are-bad-and-you-s...

The ESP32 platform is pretty damn powerful and is something of a "kitchen sink" approach to embedded IoT. You won't find too much more capability without going to an SoC.

For car dealers and manufacturers, the math is more complicated than that--the lease can be a loss leader, which may be useful to the dealer or manufacturer for any number of reasons.

In the early 2000s it was not unusual for leases on slow-selling models to have negative interest rates (and that's with a realistic residual), not sure if that is still the case today. I certainly don't ever remember seeing a negative interest rate on non-lease financing offers, not sure why.

This is a design flaw. I wonder what other shameful design decisions were put in place to cut corners.

Kind of glad I canceled a Tesla pre-order. I really hope other EV companies are learning from Tesla’s mistakes. From the lack of customer service from a maintenance aspect to poor repairability, that sort of reputation will stick with a company for a very long time.

No presumably copilot skirted that need by just analyzing the AST of code they host and using the nearby comments to identify what a section of code is meant to do. This would use the same dataset but solve the opposite problem, generate a description from a block of code AST as input.

There is a fair bit wrong with this advice.

CA is a joint and several liability state. Joint and several liability is the legal doctrine that each defendant in a personal injury claim may be held responsible for ALL the victim's economic damages. Importantly this can occur if you are fractionally at fault.

You've parked 10 feet off the side of the freeway, 16 feet away from any lane. Someone is going 80 miles an hour, passing cars, then (likely) falls asleep and veers sharply off the road, then along the side of the road and hits your parked truck.

Even though you are fractionally at fault you are on the hook for everything.

From actually seeing cases first hand

1) If you have money

2) you have a connection to an accident however small, particularly a fatal one, and very particularly with any kind of sympathetic angle (wife and children bereaved and at risk of being homeless etc

then you will be named in the lawsuit. And at least in CA - even if the husband was 90% at fault (to a normal person the one who did things wrong). YOU could pay out everything
It seemed more robust today, not sure if you pushed an update. The problem seem to happen when dragging and dropping quickly, feels like the drop event isn't firing every time so the item gets stuck to the cursor then when it does fire next time you drag you 'pick up' more than one item.
You could go with something like the Adafruit FunHouse: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4985

WiFi, lots of built in hardware (temp + humidity, light, microphone, buzzer, buttons, LEDs, etc), and CircuitPython means you can program it with a USB cable and a plain old text editor.

More bucks than the "smallest ESP-whatever" dev board, but handy for learning.
Isn't this only due to the lockdown?
Well written. I didn't know this by name, but it's something I've noticed in my life - often the circumstances of an action, or even the circumstances of an individual explain an event far better than the individual themselves.

There was a recent post that went into a modification of Hanlon's Razor to "Never attribute to stupidity what can be explained by opportunity cost". Another example, I think of the same.
All of the Tesla fanboys saying you don't need LIDAR, RADAR, or Maps as a kind of "ground truth" and you can get by on video only should take this as a huge repudiation of brag by Musk.

Look, Radar, Lidar, and Maps aren't perfect. A map can be wrong, Radar can have false echos, Lidar can have issues in bad weather, etc. But if you're depending on visual recognition of one-way signs, having a potentially out-of-date backup map to check your prediction again, and err on the side of caution, is better than having no Map at all.

Ditto for radar and lidar. Radar enabled cars have collided with semis, remember, because they're aimed low (underneath the semi). But in the case of these planters, or road cones, or monorail poles, the radar is going to be a strong signal to the rest of the system that it isn't seeing something.

There's no way FSD should be allowed on public roads, it's not even CLOSE to ready. The other car companies are behaving far more responsibility: full sensor suite, multi-sensor fusion, comparison with detailed road maps, and limiting operation to safe areas, and expanding as safety is proven.

Who the hell cares if it's not FSD driving if its so dangerous? I'll take 75% FSD that only operates on highways and long commutes or road trips, over 100% FSD that has so many disengagements and "woah" moments as to be unusable.

It seems clear the original engineering was also an _unknown_. Planning for failure cases is part of engineering: making a $16k part that is easily damaged and non-repairable is simply shoddy engineering.
Github has a huge amount of source code and likely for copilot they already had to transform it into an AST to look at comments and nearby code. This would use the same dataset but build the opposite model--input a block of code AST and get a guess as to what the description (i.e. comment) should be for it.

> I don't think that nerds have an inbound tact filter. I don't think this is a good explanation of going on.

Are you a nerd? I ask because it's extremely risky to speculate about how the minds of people of a type that you're not, work. That's precisely the problem we nerds have trying to understand non-nerds: their minds work differently and we don't understand how, at least not instinctively; we have to laboriously build up such understanding by hand, and we get reminded constantly of how limited our understanding is even after we've spent years building it up.

> If you spent twenty years being called a "smart kid" and then went to a job where all the smart kids end up, then you may have a rock-solid self-image. That gives you a certain amount of immunity to tactless comments. It also gives you the confidence to make tactless comments.

If you qualify all three of these sentences with "around other nerds", then they are true. But, at least in my own personal experience, they're not true without the qualifier.

Food for thought: remember the studies that showed that kids who were told they were smart did less well on subsequent tests than kids who were told they had made a great effort? That's because "smart", at least the way we instinctively parse that word, is something not under our control. When someone tells me I'm "smart", I don't feel more confident, because "smart" is something I don't control; I can't command myself to be smart, the way I can command myself to make a concerted effort. So being told all the time that you're a smart kid doesn't actually improve your self-image.

What does improve your self-image if you're a nerd is being told that some problem solution you came up with is right--provided it comes from someone whose opinion you expect to be right, such as another nerd or a teacher. Having that happen often as you're growing up does give you a lot of confidence when you're trying to solve the next problem. But that only works in an environment where correct solutions are the measure of value, i.e., around other nerds.

> I think what happened is just that nerds care about speaking directly.

That's true, but it's really just a side effect of the fact that nerds care about actually solving problems. Which implies that the best way to get a nerd to learn how to be tactful is to point out that doing so can help them to solve a problem: namely, how to cooperate effectively with non-nerds to get something useful accomplished.

The inbound tact filter, in fact, is just the same sort of thing, but applied to interacting with other nerds. Nerds know that other nerds don't apply tact in the outbound direction, because they're too concerned with communicating accurate information to muddy it up with tact filters. But we nerds also know from experience that nobody, including us, likes to be told they're wrong, or that something they've worked hard on isn't done yet and needs more work. So we apply the inbound tact filter as a hack around our own emotions as much as anything else--to get us past the initial emotional reaction and on to actually solving the problem. At least, that's my experience.
The ESP32 modules with FCC certification appear to all have RF shields over sections of the board with the antenna outside.

It's possible the space saved by omitting an RF shield will foreclose any certification.
