"It starts at 0 and executes instructions" is a funny, but mostly true way to express this. Some people are shocked that no magic happens before the instructions start.
This sounds like an issue with either the cooktop or the pan. A proper setup heats completely evenly, that's actually one of the main selling points versus gas.
Python doesn't offer tail call optimization, which makes it a poor fit for a lot of the instruction you'd want to provide on recursion. Especially paired with its default recursion limit (1000?) which means you can't run to any interesting depths anyways, tail recursion or not.

Besides, if you're studying CS at a halfway decent school you'll learn a half dozen languages before graduating anyways (if not more), what's one more to you?
WordStar.

Or at least its clone, the alter-ego of 'joe' ('jstar').

I've been imprinted with WordStar since the mid-1980s, I have even renamed 'jstar' to 'ws'.

So it's real Wordstar on CP/M. And its clone, 'jstar' on Linux.
My induction stove uses the same 50a circuit as my old electric stove and gets food plenty hot… and quickly, much quicker than the old electric stove with more immediate control. It can char meat black in a frying pan, not sure how much hotter I’d ever need.
Nate Silver's The Signal and the Noise's chapter about weather forecasting described forecasters during a visit doing that, a manual tweak essentially based on experienced intuition at the end that the models couldn't yet replicate.
PDP-11? Closest mine had was a minicomputer with "Word Perfect 1.0 for UNIX" and 40 orange plasma dumb-terminals. And the best commandline spellchecker I've seen.

WP's was…terse, like most (all?) word processors: three to five often-wrong suggestions. The unrelated commandline tool _appeared_ dump the entire dictionary one instant screenful at a time, sorted by nearest match.

We didn't have the magic/more-magic switch from {ahem} a certain machine, but if you hit the lowest-leftmost key on the terminal keyboard, you got dumped to shell (and lost whatever you hadn't saved).

This was all after I was cured of "hating computers" by my dad bringing home an SE/30 (I know: sacrilege to TUI lovers). Upgraded to a IIsi with 5 MB RAM and we LIKED^H^H^H^H^Htolerated it. At least they both let me SM 0 A9F4<enter>G 0<enter> when I wanted to C-z a program (only _sometimes_ because I'd just written the offending bug).
Weekly is a bit too often. Bi-weekly should be sufficient. These meetings just guarantee that every employee at the firm is getting regular guidance from their manager, and giving feedback. It reduces the risk of people doing undesirable things due to isolation. Aside from that, if you are very engaged with your projects, it did be easy to chat about them.
I use Zotero with the better bibtex addon. Works great. When I first started using zotero, I imported my existing bibtex library, so all my existing bibtex keys all worked. I use zotero as my library for everything and add bibtex keys to things I cite.

What specifically do you think is within the commerce clause authority presently that shouldn't be? Certainly regulation of products that are imported for sale or sold across state lines is within even the most restrictive commerce clause reading.
Were did you pull that "statistic" out of?

There haven't been 641 "mass stabbings" in 2022 in the US. Plenty of people also get killed by shotgun. Still, shotguns probably aren't the worst offenders and that sounds like a total red herring when school children get dismembered by assault style rifles somewhat regularly.
VLSI: Prof. Emerita Conway to Be Inducted into National Inventors Hall of Fame
I'm very pro-this advice. However for anyone seeking dermatologist to look at a suspicious mole: be prepared for them to be totally dismissive and barely look at you. I had to go to FOUR derms before I found one that took my concerns seriously. It was a very strange and disheartening experience, especially in sunny California. Persist and you will get the help you need.
I would guess some people are definitely taking about it. I hear about it more and more. And I won't be surprised if they do try to take some action, though I don't think I'd want to see mandates myself.

But I had a 240V circuit run to my cooktop location a few months ago in anticipation of converting to induction myself. Getting close to pulling the trigger.
Good to hear. Was it a decision by the team or is there some restrictions with providing the service in different geo regions?
I love my gas stove, although I've been interested in a precision induction stove. As a statistician, I'd be really interested in digging into this statistic:

> A December 2022 study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that indoor gas stove usage is associated with an increased risk of current asthma among children. The study found that almost 13% of current childhood asthma in the US is attributable to gas stove use.

I read the article (4 pages) and it doesn't seem obviously flawed, but the data is very limited and only for 2019. There also isn't really enough information to reproduce the analysis. I hope the CPSC would base their considerations on a larger, more in-depth study (perhaps over time?)
I do wonder at the extent to which I am the manifestation of a charicature of the burnt-out developer.
I’m being absolutely serious.

If you’re poking and prodding, you’re doing 1:1s wrong. You should talk to your manager or HR about how to run effective 1:1s. If these resources aren’t available, you need to reach out to others managers at the company or in the community.

Lastly, this doesn’t imply that it’s a sign of desperation, but reach out to your reports. Ask them if they think the meetings are effective, and raise your concerns. They’re an equal partner in this meeting, and should be for their benefit just as much, if not more than your benefit.

Honestly, given your comment, “But for the love of god, don't schedule a recurring meeting just so they can tell you things that are easily gleaned by reading a git commit.” tells me that you don’t actually understand what an effective 1:1, nor team meeting is. If you’re stuck a dramatic reading of the status reports, you failed to set the expectations of the meeting, and should learn how to run effective meeting. There are literal books written about this.

Reach out if you need help.

Those of us in the lower southern hemisphere get hit pretty hard with UV radiation in spring (Sep-Nov).
It should add that this lifetime in the first part is assuming that proton is not stable. Proton is a stable particle in standard model. Also, 1.67×10^32 is not the estimated life-time for these theories. This is the lower limit constraint from the experimental search for this hypothetical proton decay. I can't say this is encouraging result.
Not true. All those means of murder are way harder to pull off and are rarer. Also in most countries, even with gun control, so far as I can tell.

Algorithmic Efficiency Initiative
Call for algorithmic energy efficiency initiative: it’s estimated that GPT-3 consumed 936 MWh, which would be sufficient to power ~100000 European households for a day. Ethereum has 99% efficiency by changing their algorithm. Is there a way to design algorithms and hardware to be energy efficient. Can we have energy complexity just like we have space and time complexity?

Amongst the first sentences...

> It may be thought of as what happens when a whole computer starts, since the CPU is the center of the computer and the place where the action begins.

I thought that too. Last year I spent a while getting as low-level as I could and trying to understand how to write a boot loader, a kernel, learn about clocks and pins and interrupts, etc. I thought, "I know, I'll get a Raspberry Pi! That way even if I brick it I didn't waste too much money".

Turns out the Raspberry Pi (and I'm guessing many other systems) are pretty confusing to understand at boot time. For one, it's the GPU that actually does the initial boot process, and much of that is hard to find good info on. (https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/14862/why-do...)

I spent many many hours reading various specs & docs and watching tons of low-level YouTube videos. Compared to software development higher up the stack (my usual area), I found the material surprisingly sparse and poor for the most part. (Maybe that's reflective of the size of the audience and the value in producing it).
But also, the Xbox 360 had faster hardware than a PSP. Xbox 360 can handle multi-layered audio+video assets rendered in realtime at 60fps - even the prior generation Xbox console could handle it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvcxnTM-hfw as one of many examples

The Xbox dashboard is slow because of Microsoft's business goals for it, not because the Xbox 360 hardware or software struggles with HD-sized JPEGs or whatever.
As I said, short of "explosives" which IEDs need. And yes, IEDs are rarer than gun shootings pretty much everywhere, because explosives are a lot better restricted, even in the otherwise completely insane US. I guess some control works??
It likely wasn't a leak. It was likely that the furnace is not properly maintained, resulting in poor ignition allowing unburned gas and CO. Possibly something wrong with the exhaust too.

A leak itself should not make you groggy - gas workers are exposed to fairly high concentrations without issue. However that is a symptom of CO exposure, and your CO alarm triggered...
I happened to be looking today and the Bosch 800 sounds a bit like that (except 40 amps). Big Wolf-style knobs, nice clean design.

I had my panel upgraded this summer anticipating a replacement for our current gas range/stove and this one caught my eye.
It applies well to engineering in general. If I have no constraints, I'm as good as useless most of the time. Give me a few constraints and I'll revel at what I can achieve with limited resources.

Tether did complete audits.

The results are mixed. They have a mix of treasuries, junk bonds and cash. Definitely not as risk free as they should be, but not to the point where you could call it a Ponzi.

Overall a global move to another stable coin would be good, but it takes time.

A state managed stable coin backed by the BCE or fed would really help.

My air purifier is built in with them, and I think it's especially handy if your bedroom is close to the kitchen (range hood only does so much imo).
I probably didn't use the best technique for melting tbh, it was filling a stock pot and popping it on the stove, then adding more snow as it melted.
I think it makes sense, but it would be less annoying if it was emphasized as being OpenAI's editorial decision, not some vague "I was trained to..." and such.
Digikey lists that module (which is not much different in size/shape from the U-Blox modules) at 675$, so I'm not sure this puts it in the cheap/hobbyist range ...
Everything I've heard about induction stoves from people on the internet has been positive. Everything I've heard about induction stoves from people I know IRL who have them has been negative.
I can’t remember the name but there was a weather feed that was a pretty super aggregate of many feeds and it allowed for a higher level of accuracy to say take different individual values or blend as you might need.

This is a timely post and comment as I’ve been thinking of solving a weather problem I have with that feed. Hoping the hn hive brain might have seen the same.

It’s been known for decades that gas stoves cause issues for childhood development both physically and mentally. The effect surely exists for adults too but most likely people don’t notice feeling foggy-headed as a serious issue in their lives. And if they do, they don’t know the source.
> Price wise if this card is $5,000 that's $52 per where you don't need any onboard smarts handled by the camera in a space where commercial cameras are hundreds of dollars to buy or replace to have the particular smarts you're looking for that day.

Good point. At that scale, the price might make sense. (I'd still hesitate to buy this card, though. Based on experience with Amazon VT1 instances, I don't have any faith in Xilinx's software quality.)

There are much lower-cost solutions if you don't need that many cameras, e.g.:

* The Coral TPU is nice and cheap. I keep hoping to see a new version and/or someone making M.2/PCIe cards with several of these chips on it. It doesn't do the video decoding, though, so you need other hardware for that.

* There was an Axelera card just announced. [1] I'm curious to read the reviews when it actually ships to folks.

* The newer Rockchip SoCs advertise decent video decoding and some ML acceleration. I have one and will be trying it out sooner or later.

> The onboard camera processing is usually about justifying a cloud pitch ("we use data to send video when something interesting happens" or "we send only the best picture of the face in HD to save bandwidth but still be able to ID them later") not so much letting you go in and solve your own problem.

My software's more aimed at the home/hobbyist side of things. There some folks go with the canned/cloud stuff (Ring/Nest/whatever) similar to what you're saying. Some do everything at home with e.g. BlueIris and use the on-camera ML stuff as it is. The lack of flexibility (mostly due to closed-source, low-quality software IMHO) is a real problem though. Some folks use something like Frigate that does on-NVR analytics, and I'll eventually add that feature to my own software.

> I also have a sneaking suspicion using lower channel counts let you raise the FPS but the max of 96 channels is the hard limit, tuned to allow up to use cases like recognition from unprocessed feeds but the documentation access seems to be a manual approval process so I can't verify for sure.

I bet you're right.

I imagine that if it's partially backed, and everyone tries to redeem, and they try to defend the peg in order to not admit that it's insolvent, then they'll redeem at $1 until they can't, at which point it will be worth ~$0.
Good question. It's so easy to set up .ssh/config and use a unique key per host I would think most people using SSH would be doing that? I don't know how common that is I guess.
I don’t see how any of this is different from what I said.
You have some good points, *if* the OS and apps that you are using are designed with care and regard for energy efficiency.

In my experience it's often not the case. Edge with its sleeping tabs function is a big improvement and example when app writers do care a bit about not wasting loads of energy. But it's really a very mixed bag. Many browsers do not.

And there is plenty of nuissance javascript that will peg the CPU and RAM all day long. If you're a Steam user, you know that almost all games, when you idle them in the background, and even in pause mode, peg one or a few CPU threads as well as the GPU.

The problem is greatly reduced for those editing their windows power profiles (or for linux users, cpufreq-set) to have their processors run at reduced frequencies. For those it might justify getting 105W X's over the 65W.

Now the almost 30% peak perf gain that the X models can sustain are potentially a big advantage. Yet real life usage speedup isn't as big as one might expect from looking at benchmark multithread compute scores; compiling has a lot of waiting on IO. And the single thread differences between the mellow frequency non-X and the souped up X versions are not very big, percentage wise. So you might get 30% speedup for some cases, but probably more typical difference might closer to ~15%.

iGPU throttling is an area where the 65W models would be disadvantaged at, sometimes significantly.

So in some cases (workstation type usage), especially if running without a dedicated video card, the 105W choice might admittedly make good sense.

65W vs 105W bottom line: I guess it's a case of YMMV.

I doubt very much anyone is looking to make people switch existing appliances. That's never how it works. First they'll make it illegal to sell new ones. Second, if they really want to get wild, they'll make it illegal to sell a house that has a gas stove. That isn't terribly likely, but there is precedent. In no case are they going to come knock on your door...

This makes total sense for where I live too. A crowdsourced api of these adjustments would be neat.
If a run on a theoretically partially backed Tether, the initial folks trying to redeem would get fully paid out from the reserves. This would be done in an effort to make Tether seem stable, with the hope that people regain confidence, and not everyone tries to redeem.

This continues until the reserves are depleted.

Yeah modern hardware is crazy hard to understand and a lot is proprietary/trademark stuff like you saw on the rpi. Arduino is a good start but it's just so low level that it doesn't get you much further to understanding how a modern system works.

One slightly weird but fascinating path I have been playing with is writing programs for old game consoles, particularly the Nintendo DS. You can get full and comprehensive hardware documentation for these consoles and there are easy ways to run your own code on them now as well as libraries/tooling around it. But they run no OS, your program runs directly on the hardware, so you get a good feel for low level programming while not being down to the level of atmel chips.

It can be a little hard to work out how to get started but it's really as simple as setting up `libnds` from devkitpro and then either hacking a dsi to run the twilight firmware, or buying a cheap flashcard from ebay to run your own programs. Read the example programs from the devkitpro github and some posts on the hardware and you'll get the hang of it.

> To me, he’s making a sacrifice for me and the rest of the team, and I think it hurt morale, even though he probably intended the opposite

This is the wrong take. It's a sign I believe of a junior or a team who is not confident in their output.

If the manager has to leave before you then by your rationale, you're promoting a lax top-down attitude, whereby the manager doesn't seem interested.

I guess a lot of people have been bitten really painfully by MongoDB misbehaving int the past.

At the same time people generally understand that for most use-cases the fs isn't a good database and if they use it anyway they put the blame on themself as they did knew better.

Through I mean I have seen projects use the filesystem as a database successfully. Mainly in context of some initially ad-hoc versions of special purpose tooling written in bash or similar which worked surprisingly well for initial usage and long term anyway had to be rewritten (then normally not using bash and often using sqlite in rare cases postgres).

Completely irrelevant response. Restricting access to guns has worked remarkably well to reduce loss of life virtually everywhere it has been tried and enacted somewhat competently.

Europe doesn't regularly see school children getting dismembered by assault-style rifles. Neither does Australia, and they tightened up their gun regulation relatively recently after they figured out they had a problem.

As someone who knows almost nothing about muscle building, why would I want to work specific muscles? How do I know which muscle I should want to work? Do I look at a particular muscle and feel it's too small and that's how I choose? Do I target specific muscles that feel sore after I do some other activity that is the real activity I value? I'm genuinely curious. If this website is giving the "how", I want to know the "why".
Other people had concerns about appearance for exposed bulbs, cold temp operation, etc.

People who don't like mandates focus on edge cases (sometimes legitimately). If something is really better, then I should have a natural incentive to switch. I don't like stuff being forced. As someone else said, better vent hoods could be an alternative solution.
