A Raspberry Pi Pico W is a microcontroller (no operating system) that incorporates Wifi. The way it works is you write a program that runs in a loop and talks to the GPIO ports or whatever. It's incredibly simple and it all runs from flash, so no operating system or anything else needed. They cost less than AUD 10 (about 7 US-bucks)

https://raspberry.piaustralia.com.au/products/raspberry-pi-p...

Since I am a Go developer, I like using TinyGo with these type of boards, which means I get concurrency (goroutines) as well, although sadly Tinygo doesn't yet support the Wifi module. However, I've used other boards with Wifi, and once you're connected to WiFi you can poll APIs and do anything else you do on the internet. No OS required!

As an example of a complete, stand-alone program, I wrote a digital clock in TinyGo. (https://github.com/doctor-eval/clocky) - you plug the Pico into a 7-segment display and it operates just like an old school digital clock.

Sadly it can't (yet) connect to the internet due to missing wifi support in Tinygo, and it's running on a pre-W Pico, but you get the idea.

Loss of smell was a symptom for some but not all. Smelling does not imply you are not carrying the virus. In fact you can have the virus with no symptoms at all, or have very severe symptoms that require hospitalization.
I don't think adding RF emitters / magnets to the road surface actually solves any problems. A driver needs to know the trajectory of the road several seconds into the future. At useful speeds, that's on the order of 100 meters. Either you dynamically generate a map in a local reference frame, or you localize within a static map in a global reference frame. RF beacons won't provide enough resolution to be useful for dynamic mapping beyond a couple of meters. RF beacons may incrementally help with localization within a global map by providing additional observations for a localization filter, but no one doing global mapping is asking for that since they're already using lidar to do it.

I think useful "smart" road infrastructure would necessarily be horribly complicated, since the point of it would be to offload otherwise necessary complexity from the vehicles using the road. Perhaps the road could track the real time kinematics of all the cars on the the road using some combination of cameras, lidar, UWB, etc. It could then communicate that information via RF to the vehicles that want to receive it, along with local mapping information.

The automotive industry has been excited about "vehicle-to-vehicle" comms for the past 15 years aka V2V. Technically, all the standards that have emerged from the industry's efforts seem lame and nothing interesting has come of it. The FCC granted a chunk of 5Ghz spectrum for automotive DSRC use, and have subsequently taken back most of it for lack of use. It's still allocated for automotive, but it's now in the hands of the cell modem providers to do something useful with it.
I got hired by a company. First day I found out I was the entire IT staff. They had lost everyone else. For good reasons. Infrastructure was completely failing.

First week was rebooting servers at random to try and get things working while I mapped everything out.

Eventually rebuilt everything and put together a good team.

Key was learning to tell management no. And having someone to keep upper
management off our backs.
There is in fact some discussion, but half-hearted. There doesn't seem to be the political will to actually do it.

Why? The response to that question is inevitably political (because it's a political question). My personal opinion: because the EU has swallowed neoliberal ideological kool-aid hook, line and sinker, and will blindy follow it even if it leads to self-harm (which is funny, because the US, which is the main source of that ideology, has a much more pragmatic approach and will happily ignore it when it's not beneficial: see all the bans going on with China, etc.)

Unpopular opinion here, I guess, but that's my take on it.
Thank you for taking the time to elaborate your answer and yes, I agree on your terms and data. To my understanding holistically planned grazing has different potential then the industrial agricultural complex (large industrial feed lots, dairy and pig operations) also accounted for in the data in your reference [0].

Grazing operations can of course differ, but regenerative agriculture and HM are tools which can be used for the betterment of carbon-, nutrient and the water cycle. All tools can be used wrong and therefore cause harm.

I agree that industrial agriculture has gotten out of the planetary boundaries and according to this study actually the contributing factor transgressing 5 boundaries. [1]

There is no ecosystems without animals and we will have to steward the rewilding of things, over time restoring ecosystem. I am aware of the size needed, I am working with this professionally, the natural hydrology needs vast areas to function properly.

We are trying to set the right boundaries in the Anthropocene, agriculture is a vital part of this, I guess my argument is that agriculture can be the segway for stewarding the naturebased inititatives on the vast areas. Regenerative agriculture as an output orientated and holistic approach can function as the middle way granting us a planetary healthy diet [2] (mainly plantbased) and leave room for healthy ecosystem. So much work to do, it's important to recognize the conversion loss as you are stating in animal based nutrients. We can spare a lot of land changing our diets, but we need animals in the landscape to disturb the biological succession of ecosystem. Grass is a great perennial crop.

I will put no arguments forward maintaining the exaggerated industrial agricultural complex, besides we need a fair exit plan for all the involved people. We are only practicing for the much larger exit plan for petrol states.

Material UI uses Argos since 5 years ago. Ant Design since 1-2 years ago. I can't think of anything missing in the tool, it's a must have. It's simple, reliable, fast, self-hostable, open source (or maybe open core, not sure). A big selling point is that you can use the same tool for your end-to-end visual regression tests and your component storybook tests.

Sound Meter - uses your built-in microphone to measure sound volume in decibels

> Is it because they don't need that much workers?

Yes and due to the market correcting as the market was highly inflated at the peak height of 2021 and fundamentally over hiring.

Clearly you don't need 7000+ people being paid $100K+ to run a company with revenues of $1B a quarter with mounting losses or living off and constantly raising VC money.

I use NetworkX rather unusually to parse Graphviz dot specification files in my devops pipeline tool, mazzle.

They allow me to define infrastructure build instructions as a dot file that looks similar to this. It's similar to an advanced makefile.

This segment of the infrastructure specification sets a dependency on the bastion box, the vault AMI (Amazon Machine Image) and web server provisioned by terraform on the source AMI. Then it sets a dependency of uploading nodejs to the repository server and a dependency on dpkg scan packages. It also tells machines to join themselves to a Kubernetes cluster.

digraph G {
label="pipeline";
rankdir=TB;

"packer/source-ami*" -> { "terraform/bastion";
"packer/vault-ami*";
"terraform/web"
}

"terraform/bastion" -> "@repository-upload/nodejs_12.13.1_amd64"
"terraform/repository" -> "@repository-upload/nodejs_12.13.1_amd64"

"@repository-upload/nodejs_12.13.1_amd64" -> "@shell/dpkg-scanpackages"

"terraform/web" -> "@ansible/kubernetes-join";
"terraform/bastion" -> "@ansible/kubernetes-join";
"terraform/services" -> "@ansible/kubernetes-join";
"@ansible/kubernetes" -> "@ansible/kubernetes-join";

...

}

Graph formats are really flexible and compact and I would like to see them used for more things.

Attackers who can obtain the password database to crack it offline can also obtain the long secret, can't they?
The maintenance plans weren't bad. "Inspect [x] thoroughly every [y] years": Good. "Take plants offline for repairs immediately if problems on [long list] are seen": Good. "Build a few extra plants because some will be down for maintenance": Good. "Arrange for gas-fired power in case lots of plants are down": Good.

IMO what's bad is some people's expectations. One of the countries within the power grid is at war. Some people expect that to have no impact on the grid.
If you treat your storage as a separate subsystem you’ll likely not face the problem with `create_changeset`. I’m saddened to see that almost every Phoenix project is tightly coupled with the database as every context function calls the database and clean business logic is nowhere to be found. Also, why are we using the contexts directly in the controllers and keep the top-level module empty?
I said "20 years", not "less than a decade".

I graduated with an Electrical Engineering degree 46 years ago and "conventional current flow" was ubiquitous except on specifically discussing physical elements like CRTs or doped semiconductors - which was only a fraction of what we covered.
I agree with other commenters here. For a long time offline secret that needs to derive an encryption key, the solution is a longer passphrase. Diceware is fairly able to make passwords that are pretty strong. A 6 word Diceware with no additional complexity like separators or capitalisation is already 77 bits of entropy. 10 words is approx 128 bits.

It's hard to think of a benchmark for these LLMs that wouldn't be massively overfit (I don't mean via training, but via hyperparameter tweaking).
> but the fact we tilt slightly closer to the sun in summer than the northern hemisphere makes 6-7% difference

How could that be a fact? Axial precession (a) has a period that is much longer than a year, meaning there is no systematic difference between the northern and southern hemispheres; and (b) has a period that is MUCH longer than a year, meaning the difference between the northern and southern hemispheres in the same year is negligible.

So, likely, will OpenAI, this is a consumer-focused demo [0] showing what can be built, but OpenAI is basically a B2B tools company. When they sell it, the moderation model will be a separate product from the text generation model (at least, judging by their current product line).

Amazing pile of responses for a crucial problem most of us face (eventually)! Looking at it from an information point of view, we have tons of it available all around, consuming most of it so very generously, and probably in this process the mind is getting overloaded, having slight effects of degeneration in some cases. These are self-observations over a period of time.

Now we may be 40 and find such traces, but this issue is also growing rapidly with younger folks today, as their rate of consumption has further increased in the information jungle.

To forget is human, but occasionally we also tend to forget some crucial info that we sure knew some time ago, and that's when it bugs. This is what motivated me to create a solution for this universal issue, and started developing a system that seamlessly works alongside as a personal extended brain (our own coprocessor) that just cannot forget. If this is something of interest, it'd be great to hear from you (@shrix).
If you are taking a company to a Saas solution costing XXXXX euros surely it would be worthwhile to spend a couple of hours investigating how you get the best price?
in my opinion this is a little disingenious (the quoted line) - we know that our physics is incomplete; the discrepancy between observed and calculated vacuum energy is vast - it's sort of like our ancesters wondering if we'd be able to mine the cheese in the moon (but with a slightly stronger reason for believing that the moon could be made of cheese).

South Africa is not falling victim to US lobbying. Its problems in this area are as listed by previous poster.

As for the other countries: it's very difficult to keep any state services running well. They have to constantly resist bloat; budget defence strategies; policies that make it impossible to remove low-performing employees; and they have little or not incentive to do any of those things. The only way they ever worked was when run by personally motivated leaders who wanted to run them leanly, or (more often) on fabulously wealthy economies that can afford them. Sadly those economies have taken huge strain for various reasons.

There's no need to invoke silly anti-US conspiracy theories.

While I agree Java is almost never the fastest, I'll still object it's extremely hard to meaningfully benchmark these things. It's hard to benchmark even within the same language.

There are so much hidden state in the JVM. Like are you running out of TLAB space? How aggressively has the code been optimized? Does JVM elide any object creations? It may be tempting to try to compensate for these things, to isolate the benchmark from the statefulness of the JVM, but that is also isolating the results from any sort of practical applicability because real world code exists in the context of a stateful JVM.

It's also difficult to generalize benchmarks of allocation costs alone because it's rare for code to only be allocating stuff and this isn't something anyone is optimizing for. The GC will choke if you don't give it some breathing room. You'll get resource contention that realistically wouldn't be there in real-world scenarios because real code doesn't (typically) just allocate objects for minutes on end.
There were two problems with Einstein's original (1917) cosmological model. The first was what you mention: Einstein assumed the universe was static, but later observations showed this wasn't true. The second was that his static model turned out to be unstable to either expansion or contraction, something he had forgotten to check.
This is the era of tech moral panic (thanks Black Mirror!) so it cant be helped.
I think OpenAI is more than happy to make ChatGPT as vibrant as before. But considering past AI was plagued by the H test, they choose to play safe instead.
I've been using Tailwind for my component library and I don't agree.
For example "It is optimised for writing, but not for reading" is certainly a problem, but this is why I created a component library. To abstract this.

Also this is weird:

```
const Card = (props) => {
const className = "p-" + props.gap.toString();
return <div className={className} />;
};
```

Why do this? If gap needs to be set, then break apart the Card subcomponents (Card.Title, Card.Description, Card.Footer) and let the consumer handle their odd logic that break the design system guidelines.

I have faced issues with Tailwind too, but I would pick this 10 out of 10 times over styled-components and such.

One of those things is a social issue and the other is an economic issue. Germany leans conservative on one and liberal on the other.
...Furthermore: intelligence is developed (like muscles are developed by moving) by asking oneself questions; exercising creativity and selection in the conception of hypotheses; noting the issues - foundational, satisfactional etc. - in the provisional possible answers found; investigating further to make the candidate ideas more solid or more productive and iterating the process for the inherent branches.

Asking an "artificial lunatic" contravenes a few of the implications of the above - starting from the idea of your own exercise.

Not a unison aficionado, but I believe this is an OK problem to have given that we already have to deal with a (weaker) variant of the same problem in every other PL: if your dependency has a bug, you/dependency vendors have to create a new version of that dependency and then change every single module that depends on it. The scale might be different, but the nature of this Really Hard Problem appears to be the same in both cases.

Also, it seems like a solution to the really nasty problem of changing transitive dependencies.
There are several posts here recommending you talk to management and ask for your role to change while you remain in position. This can work, and may be worth pursuing - however it's not always appropriate. Some organisations will not be willing to make exceptions for you. They'll fear a domino effect where others make similar requests; some may frame your request as shirking, since managing people is part of the role; HR may need to get involved if your role spec changes; etc etc. Basically, it might cascade into a Big Deal. Only you can know if your organisation would be amenable to such a proposal.

Regardless, you should start looking for alternative places for work. If you broach this conversation the cat is out of the bag. If management are supportive, great. And if not, you're prepared. It's a good mental and professional exercise anyway, and may help you work out what a perfect role would look like.

A hopefully encouraging note: it's totally normal to find yourself in a role that involves work you don't enjoy, and it's totally normal to make changes to improve things. You can do it :) Good luck!
