RP2040 is a pretty fitting MCU for this use case thanks to its PIOs coupled with DMA. It got me some impressive refresh rates on a 64x32 HUB75 display – over 2 kHz in 24 bit color mode. The lack of networking capabilities out of the box is a bit of shame though.
As soon as you get away from what the interview prep books cover, it's usually pretty easy to tell if someone in your own field is experienced and at least competent, just by talking with them.

(Leetcode seems to be an awful predictor of how someone will perform as a software engineer. That students are spending so much time practicing for it, rather than experimenting and building things, is awful. Some of the biggest companies they're applying to were founded by students doing the opposite of practicing for someone else's hazing rituals -- they were experimenting and building.)
It’s more generally an argument for modularization, and for establishing well-defined interfaces between modules. Microservices is just one way this may get manifested.

A seminal paper is On the Criteria To Be Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules by David Parnas.
I have T14 (AMD version) with Arch on it. I use Wayland because it's the only way to get HiDPI and fractional scaling to work well.

Pretty much the only problem I have with it, is lack of good screen-recording software. OBS is a bit of an overkill for short screen-casts.
Not to get too pedantic, but California does have a massive agriculture industry. UC Davis is one of the best schools in the field. It’s not much of a stretch at all for agtech businesses to grow and thrive here, locally.

I guess you could argue those businesses should be in Sacramento instead of San Jose.

But example aside, I do agree with your overall point.
I don't think it'll be an unpopular opinion that WFH isolates you. I've worked from home for two decades and you spend a lot more time on your own and you have to do something about that. I think many people like working with other people some of the time.

What may be unpopular is the idea that you need a workplace that enforces on-site working for remote-possible work being a requirement to get your daily social interactions done. You're essentially saying you're looking for an employer that cares more about their middle management than their workers. Just be careful what you wish for.

If I were you, I'd join a club.
You know if you actually wanted to demo this you’d need a non blurry photo of the same image to prove it’s actually doing a good job

Because my non AI eyes are seeing a lot of little discrepancies in the “restored” photo that don’t seem like they should be there (edges of eyes, lips, etc)

And I think these little differences are going to be very off putting for someone expecting to see a new side of a loved one but getting something 2% off
Binance can create its own volume out of thin air. This would be harder for Coinbase, due to their nature as a public company. The truth is, it's hard to know what is happening inside Binance.
"Which is heavier, a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of steel?"

NeevaAI:

A kilogram of steel is heavier than a kilogram of feathers. This is because any volume of steel is heavier than the same volume of feathers. Additionally, the weight of the feathers must also be taken into account when considering the weight of the feathers.
What we really need is a Weights and Measures inspection for EV stations. Far too many are "available" (emphasis on quotes) when you're looking to recharge. Forcing them to work reliably would be a giant leap with existing supply.
R is also very popular among scientists, and I think that workflowr, Rmarkdown, and Quarto are going to increase transparency and code sharing among scientists. As you mentioned, most researchers just want things to work so that they can focus on their results, and integrating processing and writing is a good way to do that
Talking about "men having testes and a penis, and women having ovaries and a uterus" is a big no-no in some environments nowadays.
iOS Weather is pretty nice. But I can't quite love it, because it frequently tells my wife and I different values for current temperature, all while proclaiming to be giving data for the same small city. I can manually program the city in and get it to do the same thing. Hard to trust it.

Also, it's almost always wrong with rain predictions. But so was Dark Sky, so that's fair.
Is there any low-hanging fruit in the production or installation of these?
> product comparable to NVIDIA 4090

no, they need a product good at training and gpu compute at a
reasonable price

that product doesn't need to be good at rendering, ray tracing
and similar

sure students and some independent contractors probably love getting both a good graphic card and a CUDA card in one and it makes it easier for people to experiment with it but company PCs normally ban playing games on company PCs and the overlap of "needing max GPU compute" and "needing complicated 3D rendering tasks" is limited.

through having 1 product instead of two does make supply chain and pricing easier

but then 4090 is by now in a price range where students are unlikely to afford it and people will think twice about buying it just to play around with GPU compute.

So e.g. the 7900XTX having somewhat comparable GPU compute usability then a 4080 would have been good enough for the non company use case, where a dedicated compute-per-money cheaper GPU compute only card would be preferable for the company use case I think.
It sure would nice to find it on the webpage. I got done trying to search for it after 5 minutes.
yeup. and realizing that is the only way to stay sane.

nobody will care if you leave, nobody cared about the last person that left, they have other priorities and software engineering is not one of them.

if its that much of a problem, their business will fail and some other business that does care will take over their market. but that might take decades because software engineering isn't actually core to a lot of business activity. youd be amazed at how bad some software is for major companies, and yet they are very profitable.

you only have control over yourself not other people.
You misunderstand, I didn't say everybody was a fundamentalist who believe in historicity. I'm saying the feel was dominated by fundamentalist and the universal default assumptions for 1500+ years was that Gospel were historically true.

And the Church own historical record and assumption was the jumping of point for all modern scholarship. So the universal trend of the secular field is to basically dismantle many of these things.

So what I am saying is that anything that can be interpreted as pro-historicity has received about 1000x more study and attention, while every counter point gets pushed of or dismisses and could even get you fired, even into the 1980s. Even today many schools that claim to be un-bias have faith requirements. The same was true with the history of the gospel, there are whole fields of 'scholarship' just to prove the gospels true.

So its pretty clear where the focus of scholarship is and was on all these issues. There are simply far fewer secular scholars on this topic. And scholarship has already moved on from Geza Vermes.

Josephus reliable mention of Jesus is pretty clearly added and claims that was rewritten of an earlier version are far less credible then somebody simply adding a Christian creed to the text. That is what the evidence points to.

The second mention of Jesus in Josephus is incredibly brief and is also increasingly being questioned.

So overall I would simply don't Josephus is good evidence. In fact, if anything, its evidence that Christians were really just not that important or relevant to most people. Ken Olson makes these points very well if you want to look up these debates.

I said its 75%/25% and in general the field seems to be continuously moving in the direction of removing evidence for history, rather then adding it.
It's usually the case when they abandon some high risk features, or they lay off low performers, and want to message that the company is doing well, just re-adjusting.
Interesting, thanks for that. Do you know if that only happened the once? I can’t find references to another vote like it.

From what I can see elsewhere, the tone seems to have changed slightly since then?

> “We welcome the news that there will be extra funding for medical school places as this desperate need for more doctors in training is a recommendation that we made in our Medical Staffing in England report, which we issued last month.“

> “However, this increase in student places must not come at the expense of extra funding for the existing workforce or reductions in funding in future years, because tackling the waiting lists and backlog are going to require sustained investment over many years. And the government must make clear that there will be sufficient clinical placements for all those who succeed at medical school.

https://www.bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/bma-says-increased-m...

A generous take on it seems that the BMA don’t want to make things worse for existing doctors.

I suppose if the government funded the NHS more, ensured that existing doctors wouldn’t be worse off, one would hope that the BMA would be fully supportive of training new doctors?
Totally! Which doubled my Iowan buddy’s confusion. A Central Valley, Davis or Irvine-based company would have credibility a San Francisco-based on doesn’t. That “won’t even open the door” effect is huge, and part of what the author is getting at. (The other being org chart discrepancies.)
I mean, this test is really annoying and it's testing a case that I'll guarantee 100% won't happen often in production.
Steve's example is financial services companies in New York but this applies to the digital realm too, especially if your customers are less geographically-concentrated.

Be where your customers are: forums, slacks, discords, social media bubbles, etc.

Cultivate real relationships and build authentically from within a community. Live alongside your customers instead of selling into a community from the outside. Interact with the community regularly instead of relying on a handful of periodic outreach responses to gather customer feedback.
I understand. Love it.
I enjoyed the post too. I have a feeling, however, that it was a sales pitch for Wolfram's API.

Yeah. I used the term loosely. I don't play therapist. I just give advice occasionally. With my current job, I do check in to see if my coworkers aren't overworking themselves, but it's a mutual thing. Team culture is pretty awesome.

Only close friends get my time and energy. (Coworkers are not friends.) Even then, I've got firm boundaries. I'll be there when I can but I'm nobody's emotional support dog. :)
Ask HN: Would Candy Crush be more addictive if you could fail early sometimes?
In particular, wouldn’t having a way to fail a level before using up all your moves make gameplay more exciting throughout and not just when you are getting low on moves left?
I was the main developer on the single most critical deployment tool in the company.

My departure would've been less than ideal.

Either way, the company's haemorrhaged talent (now including long term CEO and long term CTO) and the stock price has plummeted since I left.

(In no way am I crediting myself for this; at best I was a canary in the coal mine - but I take my solace in schadenfreude.)
That might be true if this wasn't a long-term issue going back at least a decade, if not two.
I think wasm + webgpu will probably take over game development since it's incredibly portable from the start, and has near-native performance. Bevy is directly integrated with both, so I'm really hopeful of its future.

Everyone knew that use of tools would be next milestone half a year ago. Nothing interesting here.
That's good to know. I've used them in the past for embedded vision for FIRST robotics. I was actually thinking about getting the N2+ to replace my Rpi4 for HA, but might just go with a NUC.
Sure, actually some people contacted and asked me already, so I might as well post it here. The clinic is Белая Радуга, the one I go to is close to Бауманская but they have several in the city.
There was a post a few weeks ago about this. Basically, the freight companies are deliberately making their trains too long to go on the side track (and wait) when Amtrack comes through. So Amtrack is forced to wait instead. This delays them and caused them to lose their priority scheduling.
Ask HN: How to learn the craft of consulting?
There are lots of, often freelancing consultants who have expertise in a specific subject, but didn't have formal education on how to actually consult people.

(That's how it should be, i think, in contrast to people who have expertise in consulting, while the actual domain knowledge is a (replaceable) after thought.

I guess much of it goes hand in hand with general communication skills and the fact that it is fun to talk about ones passion,
but i'm looking for some best practices and general rules.

Can someone recommend a book/article/guide on the craft of consulting?

I haven’t used Plone for years, and it is nice to see it is still making progress.

I think it more closely speaks to how fast a startup in this space can move.
Lots of people voted for it. They believe they are good people. Of course they won’t believe facts that challenge that.
Not permanently. I’m finding that I have to close it on ‘every’ call.
Again, your mistake is in assuming that there’s a single unambiguous definition. As other people have attempted to help you learn that is not true in popular usage. Rather than unsuccessfully being pedantic it would be better to more precisely state which particular attributes you care about in the context of the larger conversation.
It depends on what you want the tractor to do. Running the engine can be done using free software so that problem is solvable. It is all the extra functionality related to semi-autonomous control which need to be built to create a fully open "modern" tractor which would be the biggest hurdle. Those functions may not be essential for small-scale or "hobby" farmers but they are so for large-scale operations whether they be using contractors or keeping the work in-house.

So it would be solvable but who is going to do the work? Farmers tend to be risk-averse when it comes to equipment since they need it to work when needed - where "when" is often decided by external factors like crop and weather conditions, availability of supplies and help. When you're about to cut and bale hay you don't have time to tinker with your tractor since it has to be done before that cold front pulls in around 17.00 tonight...
That's the thing - people will notice their biases being confirmed 100% of the time. All of their admired figures agree with them, and all the people they dislike are humiliated in just the right way, so that Everyone Knows I'm Right. There's going to be zero consistency. All of which, dammit, yeah, you're right, we have that already, but this doesn't have a leash on it in terms of human time. Like everyone having their own personal 24 hour news channel, each filled with gladhanding yesmen.
I'm not sure Ipads are particularly good bulk reading devices. Something with an Eink display (i.e. non-light-emitting) might be a better option.

I use a Kobo ereader a lot. It has integration with Pocket[1] which makes it handy for reading a lot of web pages. Then there is Calibre[2] for converting and managing any other documents I may need to deal with.

Good luck!

The thing about the computing is that it has impacted the culture surrounding NWP model development within the American modeling community. At ECMWF, there is capacity in the primary systems to support R&D, so the total cost to the community to maintain this capability is much lower than in the US where everything is fragmented. If there was greater capacity for researchers to run GFS on the limited number of systems with first-class (or any) support, it may have helped consolidate the community.

Totally acknowledge that there are other takes here. And I have a bit of skepticism about how much EPIC will really achieve and what it can do to resolve these issues. But I don't necessarily agree that the science at EC is 5-10 years ahead of the American community's. What's matriculated R2O is definitely a few years ahead, of us, especially for medium-range forecasting. But the US likely still maintains a competitive edge in mesoscale/rapid refresh forecasting, and even though we've lost key developers to the private sector recently, the NBM seems (in my admittedly limited experience) to perform favorably to similar products out of ECMWF or other European national weather services.

Your point about ECMWF being fundamentally structured with the singular goal of improving the forecast is super important - I 100% agree with that, and the US has yet to do much of anything to address this.
> It turns out that Fortran is the best tool for modeling glaciers,

Is it the best language for this, or is there just more existing code for modeling glaciers in Fortran than in any other language?
IIRC the NS prefix was in use long before there were any dealings with Sun. There was software development going on at NeXT before they had the name for the OS ("NeXTStep"). So, NX for NeXT, NS for NeXTStep.

Right, code reuse is dangerous and something to be avoided. From now on, let's write everything from scratch.
The one thing I want everyone to understand about ChatGPT:

ChatGPT interfaces with semantics, and not logic.

--

That means that any emergent behavior that appears logically sound is only an artifact of the logical soundness of its training data. It can only echo reason.

The trouble is, it can't choose which reason to echo! The entire purpose of ChatGPT is to disambiguate, but it will always do so by choosing the most semantically popular result.

It just so happens that the overwhelming majority of semantic relationships also happen to be logical relationships. That's an emergent effect of the fact that we are usually using words to express logic. So if you mimic human speech well enough to look semantically interesting, you are guaranteed to also appear logically sound.

--

I don't see any way to seed such a system to always produce logically correct results. You could feed it every correct statement about every subject, but as soon as you merge two subjects, you are right back to gambling semantics as logic.

I also don't see a scalable way to filter the output to be logically sound every time, because that would be like brute-forcing a hash table.

OP considers something in the middle, but that's still pretty messy. They essentially want a dialogue between ChatGPT and WolphramAlpha, but that depends entirely on how logically sound the questions generated by ChatGPT are, before they are sent to WolphramAlpha. It also depends on how capable WolphramAlpha was at parsing them.

But we already know that ChatGPT is prone to semantic off-by-one errors, so we already know that ChatGPT is incapable of generating logically sound questions.

--

As I see it, there is clearly no way to advance ChatGPT into anything more than it is today. Impressive as it is, the curtain is wide open for all to see, and the art can be viewed plainly as what it truly is: magic, and nothing more.
Bank of America comes to mind...
Yup it’s pretty bad - I kept comparing it to the nws mobile site and the iOS weather app was frequently wrong vs the nws and real outcomes
What's funny is that the Koran doesn't specify how you must cover yourself. It is enough to cover your arms or your head, nowhere does it say you must cover yourself head to toe and totally veil one's face. It's just another way men seek to control women.
> there is no reason to use overized MCUs/mini computers like the Pi and expensive modules

There is if you don't have the expertise. Of course, arguably if that's the case, you shouldn't be developing such a product anyway. But as the post detailed, by switching to a Pi Zero and removing the Adafruit HAT, the BOM costs would already drop significantly. I think if you're smart about it, you absolutely can build a viable product this way. Certainly not as profitable, but possible.

In Japan's case, they kicked the ball into their own net 25 times.
Because of the Keiretsu market power coupled with Japanese culture (social status, financial risks, career risk, labor mobility rates and bankruptcy laws) very few startups existed, especially in this space even though the capital requirements are far lower.

This left all the market power in hands of Sony, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Sumitomo, etc about 30 companies. And in the case of the major hardware vendors they also owned content libraries and firms eg - sony / sony music, bmi, toshiba warner brothers etc. they were extremely protective against piracy and especially digital piracy - this killed them.

We see the same in US, look how much innovation happened in virtually unregulated tech and software but not highly regulated Detroit autos - DOT, DOT, NLRB, OSHA, etc.

I would agree, but there are lots and lots of rackets going on right now, so I'm not going to complain. I might complain that they are not ALSO going after others, but not for this? Have you heard about why all the McDonald's ice cream machines are messed up all theantic time? 100% anticompetitive monopoly bullcrap. It's just ice cream, but it's still bad for consumers, and stupid.
I am not sure if buying a gun is the adequate answer to this threat. However I am not a US citizen and I get the point. Sometimes, I guess, it's a good thing to delay the checks to let the people chill a bit until they get their gun. Also letting the 20-year-old woman buy a gun with no proper training might likely result in two casualties.
