I thought Fritzing was dead as a project. I don’t recall where I got that impression though.

I thought it was kind of cool, especially for prototyping how I’d put together a prototyping breadboard circuit, but by the time I got to it, I was already familiar with EAGLE and have since moved on to KiCad. To me, it’s a tool that is useful for beginners but complicates transitioning into another EDA tool. That actually makes me wonder if Altium users feel the same way about KiCad.
We don't need coffee, tea, spices and a thousand other things you can buy at the store. But people want them, and that's unlikely to change.

This. People get let go all the time and that's just how the game works, but if a company is publicly saying someone was "fired for cause", that means someone who outranks the lawyers is out to rape this guy's name, because that almost never happens otherwise.

Many of the perceived failures of DALL-E 2 are subjective and ambiguous (by the author's own interpretation in some cases!) and speak to the author's negative biases which are well known outside of this publication.

To be clear, I'm not defending DALL-E 2. I'm criticizing a poorly written paper that was published to Arxiv to lend further credibility for a Twitter audience to substantiate a claim that the DALL-E 2 authors have not made but that Gary Marcus has a vested interest in perpetuating:

> How much does DALL-E have to do with AGI? Maybe not so much, after all… A lesson in caveat emptor:

This should have been a blog post or Twitter thread like the dozen or so other experimentations people have done with the system.
The tech for Direct Air Capture (DAC) is already quite efficient at removing CO2 from the atmosphere (80%+ depending on the particular process). At best, new innovation on the chemistry of the removal process can only increase the efficiency by 25%.

The real issue with DAC is that it is incredibly difficult to innovate around the fact that CO2 in air is just immensely dilute. You need to process enormous amounts of air to remove an appreciable amount of CO2 and, even worse, as the plant operates and recirculates processed air, the local air around the plant becomes more and more devoid of CO2 leading to a decreased amount of CO2 captured per unit volume of air.

The only real improvement that I could see occurring in this space is coming up with a process that creates less back-pressure against the fans pumping in unprocessed air which could bring down the energy cost per ton of CO2 removed. But even in that case the back pressure created by a DAC process is normally caused by flowing air through a porous catalyst, which is essential for high efficiency. So there's a trade-off there as well.

Ultimately I am not very sanguine about DAC and I have been disappointed to see news agencies reporting as if DAC is even in the top 10 technologies most important to reduce carbon emissions.

Global variables in that kind of codebase might be -really- hard to keep track of how you are accessing and writing them :/.

This gets really fucking nasty when you're doing things like setting it to volatile and potentially accessing it across threads and you end up with a partial write and then doing a read, etc.

I'm sure the axiom of "it's never tested as much as we want" still probably applies here and that's slightly terrifying.

coupling, jumps, gotos, or high complexity

Yeah that sounds fun. really fun. This is why I purposefully never work on any system that could kill someone. I just can't imagine being in charge of something like that and not wanting to go insane with knowing my code wasn't checked enough. or I wasn't careful enough.
Yes… the solution is called “use your kitchen”!
Yeah it's all passive location datasets. Financial firms have been buying up defunct apps with location data for years to infer trends. Intelligence firms have been doing the same.

> We don't need meat.

We do if we want everyone to eat. Grazing animals are a great way to turn stuff we can't eat into stuff we can eat, and stuff we can use to grow crops that we can also eat.
Dietary fat does not contribute to weight gain any more than any other macronutrient. This long lived myth needs to die. Similarly dietary cholesterol also likely does not contribute significantly to blood levels.

Résumé/CV: On Request
Email: kail[myusername][at]hotmail[dot]com

I'm mostly a Project Owner/Business Analyst. I've done a ton of process optimization and tend to be able to solve difficult problems very efficiently. I love automation and started this with VBA because which company doesn't use Excel for 90% of their work? Once data got too big for Excel I started to use Python and SQLite. Someone asked me to create a tele-medicine website one day so I learned Django, HTML, Bootstrap and whatever else I needed (it's on hiatus now https://easyconnectmd.com but they hope to have the resources to come back). The same person asked me to make another site which is a Vintage e-commerce/logistics site https://globalvintagelove.com. I've also always wanted to create a Reddit clone so I worked on that a bit https://morstyrannis.com Django/Python is just a lot of fun.
As studies have shown, 90% of women select the top 10% of men in online dating apps (with height being the #1 criteria) - so being in the bottom 25% is still an difficult circumstance.
This unanimous decision demonstrates pretty clearly that the left wing of the Supreme Court is not nearly as radical as the left wing of Congress or the left wing of the Democratic Party generally.
It absolutely has, going by people's subjective ratings, different effects on NT people. That's not to say it doesn't work, there are plenty of explanations. We don't really get how neurotransmitters interact, so it's possible these drugs trip some cascade effect which incidentally treats ADD. More likely, there's a good place to be on the tradeoff curve and different symptoms below and above it. Perhaps large enough doses could push through (though I doubt that amphetamines are so well targeted to permit it), but it's fair to say that if I'm at a 0 and Adderall takes me to a 2, and an NT person is a 3 with Adderall taking them to 4, I can get to 2 and they can't. Is that "working differently"? Depends on how you look at it.
Can the world feed itself is also a matter of asking, which model of food production do we use and are we even able to realistically consider?

A lot of the mismanagement comes from big AG and profit/growth goals.

For example, people in the United States eat about 5 times the amount of meat per person as people did 100 years ago. The population has grown, too. The amount of food grown to produce the calories/nutrients needed to feed the animals which people then eat is far more than for when people eat the produce. It we're talking economies of scale, here.

Big AG has a mass influence on subsidies, regulations, and even recommendations that come out of governments on diet.

If you look at what healthiest for us as individuals and societies with economies of scale taken into account... it's not what Big AG is guiding. Not according to the scientists who study this stuff, anyway.

Big AG is influencing a lot of mismanagement to help with their profits. So far, it's worked well for their bottom lines.

The Thinkpad chiclets suck compared to the scissor switches of the earlier models, but compared to the soft putty that is Mac keyboards, they're still a winner.

When I had to use a Macbook for work a few years back, I was unable to use the keyboard for more than 15-20 minutes without it flaring my RSI. That's compared to about an hour or so I can get on my Thinkpad.
Only if that land can be used for growing crops. Nearly all of it can't be used for growing crops.

Onsite composting and vermicomposting is a better place to dump “food waste”.

Where the food usually goes are into landfills where they produce dangerous accumulations of methane that can explode. Some folks have tried capturing that methane to burn, but if stuff can be made into compost, you’d need less synthetic fertilizers.
Most manure is already spread on fields and probably mostly contains nitrogen that came from industrial fertilizer.
I also like this.

I hate the "with ads" nature of a lot of services.

With Apple TV for example, you pretty much get... Apple TV.

I include the box and the subscription.

That much more expensive smart TV starts sticking ads all over the interface (ugh!). Same thing with Roku (those buttons etc). Yes - short term gain I'm sure for those folks, but long term loss of trust by users in my view.

Charge me, and do what I would want.

One problem with all of this - their service execution has been somewhat poor in my own view? Apple Card doesn't integrate with Quickbooks Online / Mint type products. I still find myself using Google Maps. iMessage is not cross platform (could I pay $1/month to get x-platform I message or something where others could message me).

This is something I am so excited to hear about Intel. As a consumer and user, I want Intel/Apple/AMD/NVidia all to be competitive and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in computing.

So far Apple has done an amazing job with M1. AMD has had super success with Ryzen. Nvidia has had great success with GPUs.

Recently, it seemed Intel was lagging, in large part due to their culture. It is exciting to see them get some "geeks" back in charge.

It is an exciting time in computing!

The newer tomb raider games are the most AAA games I’ve ever seen. Not saying they’re good, or bad, but every other moment is a handcrafted moment. It sort of works. A lot of it is platforming through crumbling environments. Which is pretty cool. It’s sort of overdone too.

Except humans are not primitive tools, and the brain is not a piece on a game board.

Perhaps a concept like CPU/GPU binning would be a bit more helpful to consider, but even then, it reduces one’s entire experience into manufacturing terms.

The worst CPUs are thrown in the trash. So are the broken hammers, and eventually the screwdriver misused as a hammer.
I have wireless headphones. They were cheaper than AirPods (they're Jabra) and have pretty good sound. They're full-size, not earbuds.

The battery lasts for a couple days of fairly heavy use, and they degrade to... wired headphones, essentially, since I can use them while they're charging. Also they have a 3.5mm jack if I want to use that. And they've got a microphone, so I can walk around while on calls.

Best of both worlds.

I mean, this comment is wrong. The US has some of the world most stringent food standards in the world. FDA, USDA, OSHA etc. wield immense regulatory power. Is it perfect? No. You can't sell meat at scale in the USA without the government signing off.

It may not be up to your or mine standard, but it has proven successful at getting _quality_ meat into the mouths of millions.

Also, I would bet there aren't any cattle housed in a desert in the USA. They'd die immediately due to heat because no way anybody is paying for AC for _cattle_

MIT CSAIL is not hard up for funding, nor is Hal Abelson. They can choose who they want to take money from. Funding sources that restrain a researcher's ability to publish damage that researcher's ability to advance their own career.

Many people here on HN have, for example, an irrational hatred and distrust of Microsoft. Microsoft Research, however is one of the biggest sources of computer science research funding in the world. If MSR funds you, they expect your work to result in publications and the primary factor in whether you get additional funding is whether your papers impact your field. Those characteristics make MSR funding highly desirable, precisely because it comes with no strings attached.

So, uh, I don't think that property rights should extend to a large share of all water produced in the state in perpetuity. It's been bad law from the beginning and we should not be stuck with it forever. Fortunately, California never really went down this path.

In California, the State Water Resources Control Board issues water right permits, and can modify them. They have a "senior interest" in property law to the individual holders of these permits.

Of course, snatching back water rights isn't necessary for sanity to prevail. All that has to happen is the state needs to start moving to charging a true market cost for agricultural water use, and this is well within the state's taxation powers. One of the most commonly agreed legitimate uses of governmental power is to allocate the cost of externalities.

I'm working a new book. It's about ethics and hacking. It's at the
"social research" stage. What I am trying to do is dispel archetypes
and build up a more rounded a idea of how coders and technical people
who develop the technology we all use today see the world, and
themselves - because those values influence and affect the world in
complex ways. Some of that is psychology, observation, probing and
direct invitation. I am interested in deconstructing the parochial
ideas I likely have from books, films, and my own experience in the
computing industry over 30 years. So, for a few months, posting on
groups like HN is kinda "work" for me. :)
Business is sometimes a difficult place to do pure research, just as a University is a very poor home for an operating business (outside of education). If you are a business who thinks there is some value in pure research then you could do worse than follow the model from the 50s and 60s. Separate research campus or unit. Separate management. Separate culture and working practices.
