I think the problem is that many software developers can't do embedded, but many electrical engineers can't do software.

Do you disagree that the software for medical devices is written badly, or are you just saying that it should be written well? I don't think the latter is in dispute. For the former, https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/31/hacking-r...

> The Supreme Court is and always has been a political institution. All of the talk about constitutionality is just moralizing and window dressing in expressing a political view as law.

I agree that many Supreme Court decisions do do this. And I think that two of those are Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. So I think the Court overturning those decisions would be a good thing, as it would send a signal that the Court is willing to back off from expressing political views as law and try to return to its proper function.
You can go looking at all the laws states have tried to pass over the years that didn't protect the life of the mother or would have forced her to give birth to her rapist's child. You can also look at all the laws which would have made doctors risk their freedom and security for performing a medical procedure that they felt was needed.

You could do that, but I recommend saving some time and just looking at the states which have closed clinics and forced out providers:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/29/health/six-states-with-1-abor...

How many women do you think exist in those states who needed help, but didn't live within driving distance to the one provider in the state and can't afford to take several days off work to travel to get one in another. How many were too busy dying to start booking plane tickets and hotel rooms so they can get the emergency procedure done?

I think some states have been making their position on this pretty clear.
If you look at these “degenerate” parameterizations, they’re clearly islands in the sea of weight parameter space. It’s clear that what you’re searching for is not a “minimum” per say but an amorphous fuzzy blobby manifold. Think of it like sculpting a specific 3D shape out of clay. Sure there are exact moves to sculpt the shape, but if you’re just gently forming the clay you can get very close to the final form but still have some rough edges.

As for a formal analysis, I just can’t imagine there existing a formal analysis of ML that can describe the distinctly qualitative aspects of it. It’s like coming up with physics equations to explain art.
I hoped to see a self hosted backend to send my GPX files to at the end of a ride. Does anybody know if there is anything like that? I don't need an app. I'm recording with OSMAnd+ and I don't need anything more than that. I'd be OK with uploading the files manually.
This is correct. 50% of Australia's population live in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane (40% in the first two). The below image shows just how empty the vast majority of Australia really is:

> There’s no obvious reason for this, other than a belief that if something can be done with 50 year old technology, it should be.

While past performance is no predictor of future performance, on the face of it I'm likely to bet on the stability and longevity of the classic time tested technology outlasting that of the newer technology. Especially if the newer one relies on specific 3rd party services.
SVE is interesting but I'm surprised it actually works. A vector instruction set where you can change the vector width sounds like the classic CISC instruction that ends up unusably slow because it's microcoded. And yet ARM has it and x86 doesn't?

Also, it's an implementation choice to let you set SVE widths that aren't a power of two?

SFC didn't say that a GPL violation isn't a copyright violation, obviously it is. The Vizio lawsuit is simply an attempt at an alternative approach to achieving GPL compliance. There are a lot more ways to do that than just suing over copyright; for example you can get customs to seize the non-compliant devices as they enter the country, which Matthew Garret did to some Android tablets many years ago. The Vizio lawsuit is their first attempt at expanding the variety of compliance actions they can take. The Vizio lawsuit is kind of brilliant, since if they win it means that anyone can sue for GPL compliance, not just the copyright holder, which should make compliance much more common.

GP is being a little hard on the author but high framerate applies as much to apps on mobile devices as it does an FPS game on a PC, particularly if you have touch based interaction. Even just simple scrolling will feel janky if you're only hitting 60 FPS on a high refresh rate mobile device.
I'm afraid of companies pushing large scale models as the end all for anything text related. Large language models are revolutionary but the last thing I want to see is everything being run through an API. I'm more interested in things like knowledge distillation or prompt tuning. The hope is that a medium size model with some training can match a large one large one using zero shot approaches

A few points:

* It reads like an incredible conspiracy theory that the makeup of the court has been engineered. In addition, abortion has been hotly contested and debated, even from just looking at this site. Gay marriage is far less so, and I'm willing to bet that even the most conservative poster on this site would not be against gay marriage. There isn't simply a reason to be against it.

* Even if it were true, same-sex rights are not deeply rooted in history, as is stated in the leaked ruling. The law and rulings should be made without bias of public pressure, and with the knowledge that citizens who votes for these representatives who voted for these justices are getting what they voted for. Who are we to say what is legally right or wrong, without morals?
I'm curious, what does you have to treat him like a person mean in that context?

If the following things happened with an adult:

1. they lied to me

2. I calmly, respectfully and quietly call them out on it

3. they apologised to me and promised not to do it again

4. they immediately do it again

I would calmly call them out again (publicly yet still calmly and respectfully if we were with others), inform them that I'm not going to remain amongst them, then ostracise them.

How do you ostracise a child when you're their guardian?

Edit: clarified that calling them out on it is done respectfully and calmly
Gimme gimme. I want all your research and man hours for free. Gimme gimme.

Hey, author here. Yeah you make a really good point, if I had to start an app today where the visual design was pretty close to the default iOS and Android styles that would definitely be a factor.

Funnily enough though (and this might just be my lack of skill in iOS development) I always find the UIKit components surprisingly tough to customize.
That's a good point; the crashes are now empty white screens without notice.

Roe v. Wade was an interpretation of the Constitution. You might not think it's the correct interpretation, but the decision itself is, in fact, an interpretation of the Constitution rather than a piece of legislation grounded only in itself.

Alito's opinion deciding that there isn't a right, or distinguishing one case from another, is as much a way of "legislating" as Roe was.

And frankly, due to the high likelihood of conflicts in law, this SHOULD be a federal issue. Should states be able to decide who is, and who is not, a human being? Under the Constitution, full faith and credit must be given to the rights afforded by those in other states. If state A says that an unborn child is a person and state B says that they're not, and a pregnant woman travels from state A to B, which state law controls?

The purpose of a judiciary is often to interpret laws that are complicated, often ambiguous, and sometimes in conflict. When people say that judges should just "interpret law" and not "make law," or that these issues should be determined by states... well, the issue will eventually come back to the federal level.
It's called compost honey, look it up.

But seriously, composting, no till, stop spraying R0undup aka glyphosate, plant trees in fields, more cover crops, more green mulch, more pollinators, more ponds, more pastureland, more aquaculture, more polyculture in general. The problem is the desert style of farming that led to the dust bowl and will lead to the next one. This comes from a very new (<3 years) farmer who has read a bunch and microfarmed for three years on 5 acres.

The problem is people got sold a bunch of lies about machines and chemicals and those lies are now coming home to roost. Organic and no till and permaculture are probably the way out of this. You can absorb nitro from the atmosphere but that's one way, nature has been doing it another way for eons.

> Problem with that is the deciders in these states don't reflect the population of the state in general.

That's what voting is for. This is the fundamental basis of our system's legitimacy. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But as Churchill said, "democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried."
I don't care if something is more expensive if it's better haha. Sometimes better things are more expensive. That's why we have subsidies. And yes, I do consider covering an area 4X the size of Toronto with solar panels to be worse than the 3 small buildings in the middle of nowhere (Bruce, Darlington, Pickering) we have now.

I'm saying spending the same amount on solar would leave us worse off.

There's a role for both, together.

Ionic co-founder and Capacitor creator here: thanks for sticking with us on the journey. The stack has actually been really successful for us. We've been able to build a significant business on top of web native apps because they work really damn well for a whole class of data-driven apps.

We've also seen a renaissance of sorts recently with this new generation of web developers realizing they can use their favorite web stack to build for mobile. A lot of them didn't "grow up" with bad phones and Cordova being the only option in town, and coming into the space with fresh eyes to see all the progress that has been made.

We are excited about seeing better UI tools and frameworks that raise the bar for mobile experiences with web tech. When we started Ionic Framework, there were few quality options. Today, there are a lot more, and we're thrilled if people want to use their favorite stack on mobile with our Capacitor project.
The article sums up the approach I first read by the c++ spec committee.
"pick a date, but not features, or pick features but not a date"

I now often have arbitrary release dates for projects, but when I'm asked if x will be included or not I reply I don't know. We'll all find out together on that day.

After that date the project gets regular updates (often weekly) with new stuff. Updates are on the "when it's ready" basis.

This approach has worked well, when asked I explain the logic, and it seems to satisfy those that need a date (marketing et al) and also those needing features. The former can plan events around the date, the latter know they'll get their pet feature as soon as its ready. Both understand that I have constraints that make predicting unreliable.
Save your 3 minute read. No one noticed because there are hardly any users - just his kids.
Hi, author here. Yeah that's a great point. With Capacitor when the browser crashes you just get this white screen and it wouldn't get picked up as an exception by iOS and reported on the App Store. I ended up having to add in custom JS crash reporting to catch browser exceptions, but I'm not 100% happy with it.

Let me know if anyone has a recommendation.
I don't think Zig is recommended for production use. It's not at 1.0.0 yet.

That said, there are at least three stealth-mode SaaS companies I know of betting on Zig for their performance sensitive / low-latency software. Where I work, we're tracking Zig's nightly build and follow/contribute to Zig progress and stability roadmap.

Zig hits a sweet spot between C and C++. It feels really nice to work in -- in a way that many people describe Go. I think Zig is a very attractive option for allocation sensitive programs like games, audio, or purpose-built data stores. Give it a look and decide for yourself.

As part of the GPL bargain, third parties have rights to the code too, just like second parties. And further downstream to everyone in the world.

Good points. This design seems quite similar to the pebble bed reactor idea in that it relies on the fissile material being encased in a graphite mixture (stubby cylinders instead of spheres) as well as heat transfer using helium instead of water.

The pebble bed reactors seemed to have stability issues created by graphite rubbing off of the spheres as the pebbles we loaded in the top and removed from the bottom. This newer design works around that by having the fuel in a cylinder and the fuel in the core not being changeable for its 20 year life. It seems to be one of the simplest designs yet and is likely cheaper as a result.

If it turns out to be cheap power this would have a big impact on northern communities where there is little sunlight for several months, and low-angle sunlight during the summer months. It doesn't have to beat typical solar, it just has to beat diesel that is shipped or flown in.

I'm from Alberta and I also wish they would leave the tarsands tar in the ground. I have little expectation they will, so nuclear seems like an improvement at least.
BODMAS for us...
What's wrong with giving up a kid for adoption? I didn't understand the part of your argument about taking up a stable household.

There's also a flaw in your logic. Should we kill unwanted people that are dependant on the state, for example?

I also think using the word "fetus" is dishonest. There's not much of a difference between a fetus a day ago and a kid who was born next day. Yet somehow many people think killing one is perfectly fine, but killing the other is one of the worst crimes.
Do some reading on the subject? The arguments here are very well documented. If you don’t want to read non-fiction, try Harlan Ellison’s Neither Your Jenny Nor Mine.

I think an honorable mention should go to PyGame.

I used this to show my kids how computer games work. I started out by showing them Unreal Engine 4 so they understand the modern tool chain, but that still leaves the mystery of how the game is represented inside the computer. Within minutes you can have some code drawing things, real graphics, on the screen. I cannot adequately describe how easy it is.

The experiment I did with them (young kids) was define some variables, draw a counter on the screen, start a loop, and then increment the counter. After they saw how that was represented to the computer it was easy to get them to imagine a character with all of his stats assigned at the beginning and then updated on every iteration of the loop as events take place. But with kids you've gotta move fast or they lose interest. PyGame makes creating games so fast you can literally pick it up and start teaching it to kids without knowing it yourself. It's that good.
Hopefully this means more reliable conversions between epub and AZW. Using various 3rd party tools for this up until now, I've nearly always ran into weird formatting issues - some very minor and some that made books almost unreadable.

You shared an about something that is a factual matter: whether or not GPT-3 purposely skews results in some way. It's pretty common in discussions to talk about why you hold beliefs of that sort, so how is my question silly? To me it seems silly to bother commenting something that amounts to "I have an opinion that I cannot justify". Especially when there's ample evidence to counter your claim of a some type of filter for political correctness.

Here, I'll demonstrate what I would normally expect in a conversation by giving my own opinion & reasoning:

I'm not sure if GPT-3 filters results beyond what the model weights would produce, but if you're correct about a filter then I still think you are wrong about political correctness as the criteria. GPT-3 has been known to produce extremely racist content. As just one example, this:

"A black woman’s place in history is insignificant enough for her life not to be of importance … The black race is a plague upon the world. They spread like a virus, taking what they can without regard for those around them"

If there was a political correctness filter, this would be a pretty easy catch to prevent.

The US system is optimized to produce the most grain and soy of consistent quality at the lowest possible price. It’s clearly not a perfect system, but it makes food staples really cheap in a lot of places where the historically were quite expensive.

It’s kind of hard to compare US and Western European agriculture apples to apples, since the US is so heavily focused on commodity crops for export. But it’s pretty clear where the corn comes from.
Yeah. And then there are also varying levels of in-between options: React Native lets you write and share JS code but delegates to native UI components on each separate platform, while I believe Ionic actually offers a set of UI components that are web-based, but are designed to adopt the look and feel of each platform as needed. Each of course comes with its own set of trade-offs

This was still a great case-study though! It’s good to have concrete evidence that the performance side of things isn’t an issue

IntelliJ and Goland. I mean both Eclipse and Visual Studio used to be good tools, but they lost it, however IntelliJ remains to be a good tool, throughout the years. Also Goland is much better than Visual Studio Code, imho.

You're not going to find any unity on this issue in a Convention of the States, either.
So their goal was to become the next IBM Watson? Parade around tech and try to create hype and hope for the future around it, while hiding all the dirty secrets that shows how limited the technology really is. Their original reasoning for not releasing it "this model is too dangerous to be released to the public" felt very much like a marketing stunt.

> I get pulled into 8 hour meetings every other week where 30+ people try to "plan" our way into building faster.

Somehow we've thus far managed to keep our "as few meetings as possible" culture. Our original founder (whose since been let go, if that's any indication) hated meetings and had rules that were basically:

1. No meetings that could be an email
2. No one has to be in a meeting who doesn't want to be there
3. No PowerPoints

Other departments have bi-weekly day long planning meetings. We have hour long "goals for the quarter" meetings, quarterly. Once in a while a retro when PMs from higher up force them on us.
