Ask HN: Does anyone use a Raspberry Pi as your main computer?
I have several raspberry pis at home but I have never used them for anything else than small servers of different kinds like pi-hole, webservers etc. For quite some time I have wondered if it was all possible to use it 100% of the time coding on it etc.

Therefore I am wondering if anyone here uses a raspberry pi as their main computer, maybe for coding on, paying bills, surfing the web etc.

How is the experience, what version do you use with how much ram etc? What are the issues, if any?
For a mathematician, it's not the output of pruning the search space, but understanding how the search space is pruned.

Understanding how ML models work is a notorious problem.

A classical algorithm can be formally understood better - I think it's this mathematical understanding Gowers is looking for.
pip-compile does not use the new Pip dependency resolver, and as a result I have gotten in situations where Pip could resolve dependencies, but pip-compile would need manual pinning of many dependencies to do the same. (on one project at work it became untenable and people started updating the lockfile manually)
Figure a well can be drilled for a few thousand. Depends very much on the area though, some locations you can get plenty of water from a small hole not very deep (you can pound a pipe into the ground - with a hammer, put a pump on top and get plenty of water). Other places you have to go very very deep to get water and even then you have to be careful not to use too much. And there is all kinds of in between. Worse, sometimes one side of the lot will have plenty off water and the other will not. Then you have to watch for local issues, keep the well far from the septic system (including your neighbors).
Sure. A fine-grained macro-state contains fewer micro-states. A coarse-grained macro-state contains more micro-states.

Say I flip 8 coins and I don't look at the results. A fine-grained macro state is TTTT TTTT. A coarser-grained macro state is TTTT xxxx. The one has 4 bits more entropy than the other. It works the same way in statistical mechanics. Call them spins.

We're just talking about some ensemble of micro states, and then we divide the ensemble up into macro-states. To do statistical mechanics at all, I think I have to define some macro-states according to which micro-states they contain. That doesn't mean I necessarily have any information about which macro-state the system is actually in.
I know many people who would oppose removal of water from the region with weaponry. People deeply care about them, more than outsiders know
nothing about being not-for-profit means you can't make a profit. it just means you don't return those earnings to the shareholders and thus find yourself governed by those shareholders.
This is not aimed at the commenter, but rather a generalized statement:
yntries like this make me love and at the same time hate HN. Great articles with mostly uninformed comments, whereas the two or three guys with knowledge on the topic are buried deep underneath.

I like the word Public Code and not Open Source, since modern definition of Open Source requires a community around it.

But what license should this Public Code be? GPL like? AGPL? or Apache 2.0 and BSD like?

Almost certainly-if any new well were allowed at all.

Could also have assumed that a well problem would entirely fall on you (worst case) and budget accordingly.
Yeah it's kind of tricky to classify this on the passive/working[2] income scale, and I'm not even sure it's a useful classification at that point. But here's how I'd think about it.

Imagine you work a legit, regular job. Obviously, that's not passive income. But say you get a deal[1] that, for every year where you defer receiving the salary from the employer, you get a 10% bonus (compounded like interest).

The correct way to look at that, IMHO, would be "The original salary is working income, the additional gains from deferral are passive income."

Then apply that to the case of these writing royalties. Which part is what? Well, he worked to write the book, but received income over several later years.

So then I'd break it into:

a) "the hypothetical amount he could have sold the IP to a publisher for when he finished it", which is rightly called working income.

b) any gain above that amount that he received via the royalty deal, which would be passive income.

(This is probably 100% unrelated to how the IRS would classify it.)

[1] which, for simplicity, we'll assume is trustworthy and above-board, even though an offer like this probably wouldn't be in practice.

[2] In common parlance, I think "working income" would be called "earned income" but I don't like that phrasing and so avoid it here.
I personally haven't really been on any idea generation meetings in a long time so not sure. I have a list of shit to code and I code the stuff.
I think you may be undervaluing your vision. You will have competitors. Others will try to steal your idea. But do you think some hastily jotted-down notes will be enough for them get the job done?

Odds are, the easiest/cheapest way for the pitchees to get your idea is to pay for you to do it.

Read Dugin's Geopolitics to understand Russia's real goals - a robust fascist empire stretching from Lisbon to Vladivostok, untainted by the weak and permissive liberalism of the West.

It's all there - from reunification of the smaller republics, to a campaign in Ukraine, to a breakout into the rest of Europe. And lately Dugin has been suggesting that Cuba, Venezuela, and other Latin countries should be armed against the US.

Ukraine was supposed to be a relatively small step in the masterplan. The "de-Nazification" pretext is ridiculous nonsense, and so is "reunification". The real goal was - and still is - annexation of the resource-rich south.

Unfortunately, like most imperial politics, this plan is distilled wish fulfilment and pure fantasy. Russia doesn't have the people, the talent, or the resources to win an extended war.

The Ukrainians know this, which is why their strategy is attrition. Sooner or later - possibly sooner - the economic and political cost will become unbearable.

The problem is that imperialism is a form of collective narcissism, and it's incredibly difficult for leaders and followers to admit impotence and failure.

So IMO there's a fair chance that Putin will reach for the nuclear option when the army is clearly failing. He seems very ill anyway, he doesn't care about his country or any of its people, and it's unlikely he has many fucks left to give.

I hope there are some serious behind-the-scenes attempts being made to remove him, because I suspect that's the only way this is going to end without an impossibly horrific death toll.
I do not know about the U.S. system, but in Canada, the Ph.D. program in Business is part of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Thus, the fees for any Ph.D. program in business, in many Canadian universities, are the same as for any other graduate program in the university. Besides this, once you are admitted (which is very hard, for example, they accept generally 2 in the Ph.D. program in Finance, from a pool of thousands of applications), you get generally a full scholarship. So, the Ph.D. program is "free". Now, in my experience, it is better if you invest your time getting a certification, like CFA, CPA, CAIA or anything like that, and working in the industry. This will be a lot more fun and much less stressful and risky. To get good networking, I would add a SMALL program in business at an Ivy League university, which is very expensive, but generally is not hard to be admitted to. Additionally, if you want to land a really good job, I also would tell you to get a master's in computer science or IT certifications. Now, if you think that getting a Ph.D. in Business is really for you, I would strongly advise you to know the faculty of the university of your choice. Generally, the faculty associated with a Ph.D. program in Business is a very small group of people. So, I would strongly advise you to get a lot of information about them from previous students, and mainly from previous dropouts of the corresponding program, and if possible contact them. In my own experience, I can say that, unless you are extremely lucky, getting a Ph.D. in Business is not worth the time.

It's the Gear Acquisition Syndrome. (I got the classic Rigol 1054Z ~6 years ago, and it's collecting dust, but I love to be able to use when needed. Nowadays I'd probably go with a portable one from Banggood).
To begin with, the difference is one of convention. UTF-16 is almost never checked for well-formedness: not a single one of the major users of UTF-16 that I am familiar with validates (Windows wide API functions, JavaScript, Qt); I don’t know of any system that exposes UTF-16 strings as some kind of main string type that does check well-formedness. UTF-8, on the other hand, is normally validated. Not always, to be sure, but normally. (Probably the most significant “largely UTF-8 but not necessarily” thing is *nix paths and other related syscalls—which is not dissimilar from the Windows situation, except that one uses 16-bit code units and the other 8-. This would seem to weaken my point, but my point is again strengthened by the number of languages that can’t equanimously interact with non-UTF-8 paths on Linux, which is not such a problem for non-UTF-16 paths on Windows, for all that the latter are very much rarer.)

But beyond that, the difference lies in Unicode having been compromised for the sake of one particular encoding, and now there are all kinds of places that have to deal with potentially ill-formed UTF-16, more that potentially ill-formed UTF-8, I would say. Look at what Python 3 did: its string type is not a Unicode string, but rather a sequence of Unicode code points. That is, it can encode surrogates. Blech.
Perfect timing. Thanks for posting this. I recently bought a Microbit V2 and Raspberry Pi Pico with a few sensors and a breadboard. Excited to play with these. Thanks to everyone who've suggested informative sources as well. Cheers.
I have been living in Taiwan through the pandemic. The response has been exemplary.

Life has been normal, other than the need to wear masks and scan QR codes when entering shops to enable contact tracing. There has been very little actual risk and fear of infection.

We haven't had a lockdown, and until recently, cases were below 10 per day.
You can go a long way with good quarantine and testing policies.

Now the cat is out of the bag, and Omicron will soon be everywhere, but the health system will be able to handle it.

Tight quarantine gave us the opportunity to get people vaccinated. It was initially difficult due to lack of vaccines and interference from mainland China. The vaccination rate is now above 85%. There are still people who have been resistant due to the global anti-vax movement. This will cause unnecessary deaths, particularly in the elderly.

My main criticism of the government was that they have been unnecessarily strict in issuing resident visas. They also could have been clearer about how long people on temporary visas could extend them.
That’s pretty naive to think Trump wasn’t even close to remaining on.

If enough states had sent contested election results (eg a county or state’s election board is tied in approval or does not approve the results because of one die-hard) then the matter would have gone to the house of reps.

How many of those reps voted not to certify the election results? Now, in the event of contested state results, each state in the house of reps would get one vote. There’s more red states than blue states…how many unscrupulous representatives, who already voted not to certify the results, would it have taken to grant Trump the election?

For what it’s worth, many of the key states in the election had narrowly certified election results. In some cases it came down to a single individual who could have flipped the other way, and the results would have been contested.

You do not realize what a narrow path democracy treads. The anti-democratic forces do understand this, and the last few years have been empowering to them.

And that’s an easy scenario that doesn’t even take into account the very real possibility of political violence - don’t forget that people showed up to the US capitol with weapons and tools for kidnapping.

Honestly I find your take to be either naivety, denial, or willfully obscuring the truth to promote anti-democratic goals.
I found the article hard to read, I wish it were written more around a concrete example than the abstract. I found it hard to track all the abstract elements in my head which ironically made it harder, not easier, for me to generalise the ideas presented.
I have a couple of Pi's on the network. I tried to replace an older, home-built Linux file server with a Pi 4: stock Raspbian, a 5 TB USB drive, no display. It was very slow; finally I replaced it with a $250 refurbished Dell from Ebay; threw Debian on it, and never looked back. Pi is a fun toy for some purposes but at this point I don't see it being useful as anything but a wireguard gateway (eventually).
Do you have any examples of what this looks like?

It'd be in Microsoft's interest to make the product they sell good enough for their internal use rather than make a second product and sell an even less improved Teams. Dogfooding at its most basic. The exception would be if they were planning on changing direction with what they offered customers, in which case it doesn't make sense to dogfood the existing product anymore.
> Seawater extraction of uranium is renewable since geological processes replenish that circulating uranium as it is extracted, too.

No, it's not. Uranium once used in reactor is literally changed to other elements. And the radioactive waste is sealed in container safe for 100s of 1000s of years.

Because humans wrote it, and there is an upvote system. Human content > ML content. Are you saying that HN is also not better than ML clickbait content? I doubt it.

The fact that this is the second reddit append tool mentioned on HN within a week means there is obviously something you are not considering.
I don´t know much about nursing specifically but it is actually interesting to account for how many customers served per employee and how many there are at the bottom of the organization. If you are earning next to nothing and are doing 200 widgets per minute a 10 fold salary increase wouldn't change the cost of the product per customer. If there also is a large profit margin the desire to keep wages down is more of a fetish than the sensible choice it is at the other end of the spectrum.

Depending on the type of job you also get a different "product" depending on how much you pay and you might not be able to measure it. Employees cut corners in the least visible way and do not brag about extra effort if they are paid well enough.

This[0] was a fun read.

>Nursing care services are the most intensely used hospital services by acute hospital inpatients yet are poorly economically measured
[...]
>Nurses are an anomaly in the current inpatient billing system. Rather than bill for the actual services provided to the patient or the amount of time spent providing nursing care, the cost of nursing is embedded into the line item for room and board, which is the same fixed cost for every patient receiving the same level of care within a particular institution. In other words, all patients cared for on a given unit are billed the same room and board charge regardless of the actual amount of nursing care the patient utilized during that hospitalization.

And that's all well and good so long as the law backs you up. When it doesn't, that then falls somewhere on a spectrum from felony to treason.
That's the issue with "safe" - it's difficult to capture in a single factor like number of accidents and for this factor, the distribution of the metric is very different.

Here's a different metric that entails both: Market price to ensure a nuclear power plant against damages. Why are they so high as to make nuclear power creation uneconomical? A market inefficiency?

It's very hard to explain away. So my point is: It's not black and white unfortunately, and it's both a technological and societal effort to make nuclear power safe.
Politically brighter Congressmen might see such a repeal not as a one-off special event, but instead as a precedent for further "inter-state resource raids". Some of which raids could target their own states.

So - support for that repeal might prove scarcer than you'd think, from just looking at a map of drought-plagued areas of the U.S.

Also - burning needs for water tend to be sudden & immediate things. Vs. designing, approving, funding, and building the infrastructure to actually move large quantities of water long distances is more of a "decade-plus time scale" thing.

When you _search_ for content in reddit using Google, the upvote system is irrelevant. You are actually just trusting the same ranking system Google uses for the rest of the Web. Reddit's community moderation does not play a role at all (unless the moderation effectively deleted the content, which it doesn't).

It's not the same to look at HN's frontpage articles (or similarly the most upvoted comments) versus just randomly doing a text search for some obscure topic on HN and looking at whichever crap comes first. Specially when you use the very same search ranking algorithm you already complained tends to give crap.
You may want to check your modems webpage for obstruction warnings, you shouldn't be seeing frequent pauses if it has clear line of sight.

I’m also skeptical of the approach here but for the opposite reason. ML will conquer proofs by an AlphaZero approach of ignoring all human training data. You can generate arbitrary problems easily enough and doing some GAN like system of both generating problems that yet can’t be solved and a solver to solve them seems to obviate the need for human training data. I’d be really hesitant to be a PhD student in the GOFAI or natural language datamining approaches since I think this could easily be solved by ML in the next five or ten years by ML (specifically at least one well known unsolved research problem being solved by AI). I hope that I’m wrong… I like math as a human endeavor.

In the US, you can refinance your loans. Essentially taking out a new loan to pay off your old mortgage. The new loan has the new market interest rate. In the US, you’re typically allowed to pay off additional principal without any penalty, so you can end a loan by paying off the outstanding principal without needing the pay the remainder of the interest on the loan.

Good question. It didn't occur to me to check. A bit of Googling suggests that in my state a new well would indeed have been less that 0.26 $H. At the high end of depth for this area maybe 1/3 of that.

I have no idea if it would have actually been possible, though. Wells aren't allowed to be too close to septic tanks and septic drain fields, and there are other spacing constraints too. From what I recall of the way the house was placed on the lot and where the septic tank and drain field were there may not have been anyplace on the lot acceptable for a new well.
