Wow, that Polyscience/Breville Control Freak looks great - if anyone knows of a mid-level/affordable induction cooktop that preforms similarly I'd love to know if one exists.

Currently I have two induction cooktops (counter top models, not built-in hobs) - one from Ikea and one Nuwave brand. The Ikea one looks pretty good, but it lacks precision. Looks like the Ikea one is no longer available in the US, but here it is on their AU website:

https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/tillreda-portable-induction-hob...

The temperature settings go from 20 to 70 degree F increments. In particular, the jump from 210F to 280F really sucks. But it's great for boiling water, cooking pasta, etc.

The Nuwave induction cooktop I have allows 10 degree F increments, which is great for accurate precision. But it doesn't look very good in my opinion.

I'm also in the process of remodeling my kitchen and have a built-in Bertazzoni cooktop, which I've yet to unbox or install. I choose that because my wife wanted physical knobs instead of digital buttons and I agree that that does provide a nicer UI. I'm optimistic the knobs will provide precision temperature control.

Overall, I love cooking with induction - for control and clean air inside the house. However, one other issue I've struggled with is uneven temperature. Originally I thought cast iron would perform well, but it's not great with induction. I recently got some pretty decent stainless steel pots/pans from Tramontina, which are affordably priced compared Allclad, and those heat much more evenly. I also hope that when I install my built-in induction cooktop it will heat more evenly, perhaps with more magnetic rings.
I think as a principle, symmetric information is quite important for good functioning of a market.

I feel you. It's been a very hard 2 years, and it's easy to get angry at a variety of people or institutions that seem to be, or are, responsible for it. And I've done more than my share of drinking, too.

What has helped me is to first, try to be compassionate to those around me.

And second, it's a little weird, but I try to wish others well and feel compassionate towards them, even those who are far away and who I haven't met. It would be like "praying" for their well-being, even though I'm an atheist and don't think there's anything mystical about it. But if I do it for others, then I have a rational basis for thinking someone else might be doing it for me.

People who are striving for self-improvement are just trying to get some control of their out-of-control lives. It's just one of many possible coping mechanisms.
This seems all a bit far fetched if you ask me. Do you have any sources to back up your claims?

I think we're mostly in agreement here. I was suggesting that FOSS itself was a counterculture (compared to proprietary software), and I was loosely describing the resentful "I don't want to think about licenses" (or moreso mocking people who care about licenses) as a conter-counterculture to that. I think that plays directly into the promotion of permissive licensing.
Abstract:
Processing-in-memory (PIM) architecture has demonstrated great potentials in accelerating numerous deep learning tasks. In particular, resistive random-access memory (RRAM) technology provides a promising hardware substrate for PIM accelerators, because it can support efficient in-situ vector-matrix multiplications (VMMs) with high-density RRAM crossbar arrays. However, such accelerators suffer from frequent and energy-intensive analog-to-digital (A/D) conversions, severely limiting their performance. This paper proposes a new PIM architecture to efficiently accelerate deep learning tasks by minimizing the required A/D conversions with neural approximated peripheral circuits. By characterizing the existing dataflows of state-of-the-art PIM architectures, we first propose a new dataflow by extending shift and add (S+A) operations into the analog domain before the final A/D conversion, which can remarkably reduce the required A/D conversions for a dot-product. We then elaborate on a neural approximation method to design both accumulation circuits (S+A) and quantization circuits (ADC) using RRAM crossbar arrays. Finally, we apply them to build a RRAM-based PIM accelerator--\textbf{Neural-PIM} based on the proposed analog dataflow and evaluate its system-level performances. Evaluations on different DNN benchmarks demonstrate that Neural-PIM can improve energy efficiency by 5.36x (1.73x) and speed up throughput by 3.43x (1.59x) without losing accuracy, compared to state-of-the-art RRAM-based PIM accelerators, i.e., ISAAC} (CASCADE)

"[L]ook at those folds!" I'm looking at the folds, and they got worse.

Many early protocols were designed under the basic assumption that any two hosts on a network could initiate connections to each other. This was, after all, the fundamental concept around which early computer networks were designed... as networks of equal peers.

Unfortunately, this assumption has failed the test of time, as the "peer to peer" nature of computer networks has been fundamentally degraded due to widespread adoption of a more strict client-server model. Today, it is mostly not true that any two internet hosts can intiate connections with each other, and while seldom phrased this way the reality is so deeply embedded in our understanding of the internet that protocols designed under this assumption, while common, seem absurd. There are numerous reasons for this that range from security concerns to IPv4 exhaustion to the simple practicalities of the way that computer networks entered widespread usage.

We should all wonder: is it a good thing that we have abandoned the peer to peer nature of networks?

Ask HN: What's the best way to split SaaS code between commercial and free?
How do you manage your SaaS codebase when you have both a free and a commercial offering? Are there tools/frameworks that manage this? Do you use two repositories or two branches? I'd like to minimize copy-pasted code, but in the commercial offering the code is interspersed with the appropriate stripe calls, etc., and in the self-hosted (free) code, these paywall restrictions are limited.

> That means that you need to expose the chip, scan the image from it, do the A/D conversion, demosaic, gamma correct, color correct, denoise, vignette correct, distortion manage, remove chromatic aberration (because cheap lenses),

Can you explain what's the difference in gamma correction and color correction? New gamma correction uses perceptual mapping right (e.g. Dolby vision) - doesn't that already put you into a standard color space?

> then, display it on the screen, continuously, within 50ms per frame

That's 20 fps. Don't you need at least 24 to capture cinematic footage?
It could be grown in movable segments so that the less exposed parts got a good dose regularity. Sounds like a pain to manage.

Either way, you’d need to be checking it regularly as having a section die would be bad.
In my experience their gateway is not great and serves captchas occasionally if you're requesting rare content they don't have cached. I ended up just running my own node at a provider supporting bandwidth alliance and putting cloud flare in front of that.

I was vehemently anti-mirrorless up until maybe a few months ago.

I went on a big wildlife trip and realized I had to finally upgrade my Canon 70D. The first thought was to jump to a 90D, but I had to review what mirrorless options were.

I tried to find every reason in the world to go with the much cheaper 90D than mirrorless. In the end, I couldn't. For my primary use cases (wildlife, night cityscapes, and sports), the Canon R5 has so many game changing advantages, I couldn't ignore it. I lose nothing with the lens adapters, and they mostly solved or mitigated the issues with the first gen.
But they werent actually saying anything about their own preference, they were claiming that people who like induction don't like cooking, and that induction is worthless for people who like cooking. That is a claim that is provably false, and therefore by definition is a lie.

Anyway, what I see in younger developers (but not only devs) is a lack of history knowledge. They almost know nothing about history, so they often repeat the same mistakes.
Crypto* is fundamentally private money, something already tried with poor results.
So does apple have to foot the bill for this service independently, or do we charge the developers some percentage of their revenue to provide this service?

Snark aside, I do think you're going to require some sort of hold/guarantee from the developers to apple if you want to force that sort of relationship.

Why? It’s endemic. Unless your treatment depends on knowing which specific respiratory virus you have, getting tested doesn’t really tell you anything new. You are sick. Stay home. Get rest.
My experience with these goes back decades, and my experience - outdated as it clearly is - was not positive.
The main issue with fexprs is that while it is neat way to generalize straightforward interpreter it makes implementation of compiler (or in fact almost anything requiring code walking, including some more advanced macros) unnecessarily complex or even impossible.

On the other hand, anything that you can do with fexprs can be implemented by macro if the macro facility offers some way of accessing the outer lexical environment (and there is not that many situations when you need that).
Graeber is like Howard Zinn, a good writer but sloppy with details and not original.
Yes.

Every "natural language" system, whether it's a text chatbot or Siri-style voice bot, is essentially a command-line interface without very good documentation.

In general, it was considered an advancement over the classic CLI (at least for environments where there's low expected user proficiency) to provide a menu of valid choices and put them front and centre.

Most customer service scenarios are exactly that-- low user proficiency (in company- or business-specific terminology, or sometimes even the very transaction flow itself) so they may not be able to quite enunciate exactly what they mean, but can easily pick from a clearly written menu.

Do you mean this one? " For me, Bitcoin's potential to be a programmable money without government or central authority is a very powerful idea."

It's really isn't a true technical and financial innovation.

So, you have a slow and inefficient VM that runs an esoteric programming language, and all this VM allows you to do is exchange fictional tokens whose primary value is derived from ... trading fictional tokens. That's all there is to this great amazing innovative idea.

> The idea that you can be your own bank and do p2p electronic money transfers without an intermediary. That has never been possible before.

Of course it has. Never on this scale, true, but "I will print my own money that you can only use in these specific circumstances, otherwise you have to convert it to actual money at severe discount/penalties" is probably as old as the world itself.

Also, there are reasons intermediaries exist.

Sorry but no - if by underwater you mean diving, and not putting your hand 0.5m underwater or similar depth snorkeling. Gopro has tiny sensor and crappy lens and it shows, even if you set the bar of quality as low as phone screen-only.

You can end up with reasonably nice pictures from time to time, I've ended up with dozens from all activities I've mentioned (and that's using gopro hero 2 with custom housing in the past, now newer variants), but you will lose many more moments due to rather poor device performance.
Same. I don’t even use syntax highlighting anymore. It changes how you focus.

Not sure how people put up with all that powerline stuff either, or multi-line PS1s that have shit on either side. Reminds me of geocities.

The original sales pitch I heard for slab alocators was: use the standard libraries for general workloads, but if you know your data better than the stdlib, you might be able to do better.

mmap access patterns seem like something where you can do better. Especially in the age of io_uring, when an n+1 pointer chasing situation doesn't particularly care what order the results are processed as long as the last one shows up in a reasonable amount of time.
You need _synchronization_.

This was never up for debate and is more diversion.

Was someone "saying you have to use mmap or you get data races??"

No, no one was saying that. You need it to do lock free synchronization because you need to map the same memory into two different processes to use atomics.

That's the whole thing.
FWIW - cast iron is incredibly cheap.

I don't understand the interest here. It's not like fungi are magically more effective than virtually any other mass at absorbing ionizing radiation and subatomic particles. "Self-replicating" is meaningless when it needs to consume water and carbon sources to do so which on their own would probably be denser and more effective per unit volume at shielding. Chemistry has next to nothing to do with radiation shielding let alone biology.
Let's consider the alternatives to to-do lists. They are 1) remember everything without writing it down, or 2) rely on being reminded about anything important by something or someone else. I don't think I've missed any, and it's pretty obvious to me why 1 and 2 are bad plans... so obvious that I'm confused about why so many people blog or write books about the concept.
try doing things that give a visceral sense of accomplishment afterwards even if unrelated to coding.

Quiet the opposite. Tearfree rendering, forced vsync and the completely opaque way of interacting with graphics memory in order to fulfill the "every frame is perfect" philosophy means Wayland is optimized for all kinds of things (mainly to give involved consulting firms some lucrative gigs) but certainly not latency.
i've always wondered if all the weirdness that occurs at small scales where classical mechanics breaks down was just the effect of a sort of spatial aliasing where the continuous universe is undersampled onto some kind of discrete substrate.

this confirms that i'm ignorant of real physics.
Not super worried about bloat, but I do want it to have a Wayland future since X11/Xorg has massive screen tearing on my machine ...

This might explain why between 1992 and 2017 interferons were the go-to treatment for MS. Interferons (IFNs) are a group of signaling proteins made and released by host cells in response to the presence of several viruses. A virus-infected cell will release interferons causing nearby cells to heighten their anti-viral defenses.

After my diagnosis I personally went on Avonex (an interferon) in 2000, which was the only disease-modifying treatment (DMT) for MS at the time. My neurologist told me that they had no idea why interferons worked for MS, but they proved to be relatively safe and effective as slowing both clinical and symptomatic progression of MS. Naturally I asked the question to all my doctors, "Can a virus in the CNS be involved in triggering T-cells to cross the blood-brain barrier?" They would usually respond, "That's as good an explanation as any."

So I religiously stayed on interferons through to 2014, when the FDA approved an oral medication for MS. By that time I was really getting tired of the constant injections (I hate needles), and my MS had caused minimal problems for me up to that time, so I decided to give the non-interferon DMT it a try. The clinal trial data for this non-interferon medication looked promising. But in the year I was on the non-interferon DMT my MS progressed, and I didn't go back to interferons until after things culminated in a serious attack (relapse). I currently live with a lot of symptoms from new lesions that formed in my spinal cord in that year I was off interferons.

This experience had an impact on how I approach problems in general. These days I'm a lot more likely to stick with technology that is tried and true for any particular problem, even if that older technology is a little painful to set up and use. If it's been working fine up until now, don't rock the boat just because another option has come along.

Of course this doesn't mean I'm inclined to always only ever use old technology. If something very clearly superior comes along that has overhelming evidence of effectiveness, I'm open to changing. In 2017 I made the switch to Ocrelizumab, which is a monoclonal antibody that knocks down your B cells. The data from that was so compelling that I realized that was the right thing to move to from interferons. In hindsight, that has been a much better move than my disastrous experiment with the oral meds.

This recent study relating to EBV confirms my personal suspicions about the role of a virus in the development and progression of MS. Hopefully what this means is that therapies will come along that specifically target proteins only in EBV so that I can get my B cells back, since one of the consequences that a medical study I was in last year revealed is that my body doesn't produce antibodies in response to the COVID vaccine. I'd really like to get antibodies again, since I imagine that could give me more protection than what I get from the other immune cells I have.
