Ok, bypassing anything regarding the macro-economic situation, how has the Coinbase product (successfully) changed since he was introduced in the company? As far as I know, the only change visible to users is the NFT thing, and we all know how that went.
Do you know if this would be appropriate in, for example, a microscope stage?
I use steppers (open loop) to move a stage on bearings, and I would prefer to have closed-loop with position sensing (not movement- actual position- because a single dropped step will ruin an acquisition).

I already work with ESP32 and have done closed-loop DC motor stuff before, so I'm just curious if this is something I could drop in and be happy with.

This means that a lot of tricks you’ve read about how to beat automated screening such as include certain phrases of job descriptions in your resume, repeat “hot” keywords, fill your resumes up with random metrics, etc. not only doesn’t work on us, but also hurts your chances.

It seems unfair to penalize people for playing the game and attempting to maximize their chances for success. It forces people to make a choice where they're effectively rolling the dice as to what the best course of action is -- either they optimize for the reality that resumes are largely computer screened, or they optimize for humans hoping that it's not. I don't think you should blame people for optimizing for what is likely the most common scenario.

> Still, though, for grid stability it is probably much better to use dedicated batteries as part of the grid itself than to use car batteries.

Why? Every kwh we can store using car batteries is a kwh of dedicated grid storage we don't need to purchase. It can increase the speed we add new storage on the grid. It is a more efficient use of lithium and other precious metals. This "smart charge" or "flex EV" is the type of incentive utility companies can push, and something that would decrease the amount of capital investments they need to make.

I can imagine a few counter arguments for why dedicated batteries are better, but nothing that convinces me. This claim that dedicated batteries are better than car batteries has little support in your comment and I would like to understand why you believe this claim.

I don’t quite buy your argument.

If the system still depends on distribution, someone has to pay for it.

It may be that rooftop solar users will be asked to pay more for that distribution than they think is reasonable.

I’m sure not excited about my grid operator proposing a $50/month minimum for electricity, it makes my panels seem worthless. But there is logic; I was being subsidized by net metering. And in future I may have to pay a cost closer to the true cost of access to the stability of the grid.
Maybe I missed it in the article but it looks to me like they're hiring more junior candidates. For more experienced candidates (which it sounds like you are) I think years of experience doing similar things in a similar field/organization would be the most likely thing to lead to a phone call.
For smaller languages the steps would be:
- Somebody would have to digitize an old book without mistakes.
- Somebody would have to publish it online.
- Somebody would have to scrape and archive that.
- Somebody would have to transliterate it to Latin script.
- That transliteration would also have be the same transliteration I'm using.

It's unlikely it will be done for a lot of languages.

See I used to go back and forth on this, until I realized something: Will Arnett is absolutely nothing like Bojack Horseman, one of the single most vile characters I've ever had on my tv screen. I think people (not necessarily you!) have this implicit acceptance that "in order to make disturbing/serious/dramatic/[insert intense or dark adjective] art the person has to be broken or embody it in some way." I really don't accept this, nor do I think the character one plays is a reflection on who they are for the vast majority of actors out there.

Sure in hindsight Roiland's brand of humor makes sense given who he is, but frankly plenty of horrific characters have been depicted - or written - by people who are 0% like them.
Raycast Snippet Explorer

Personally I would design it so that it can be controlled by a single big toe - side to side motion controls orientation, up and down motion controls open and closed position. That way you can have one on each hand. Combine it with a load cell on the bottom of the shoe that activates and deactivates it based on how much force is applied so it's not wiggling around while you're walking. I'd also add some small vibrating motors that can be used for haptic feedback from the thumb so you know when it's touching something (by the vibrators being on) and even how much force is being applied (by the amplitude/frequency of the vibrations).

Also not sure how I feel about the cable drive. Of course it does behave somewhat like muscle and allows the motors to be located some distance away, but I think for a thumb analog you need a certain level of precision control over position and force applied that a cable drive just can't give you. Like this is fine for grasping but you could never use it to type or fumble keys. I'd probably go with a bar linkage across the back.

TypeScript's type language is extraordinarily powerful. It's completely reframed the way I do web development; I tend to do much more functional and less method-based semantics these days because interfaces and generic types make that feasible without going mad from losing track of what functions can be applied to what data (and receiving no help from the very lax type semantics and runtime of regular JavaScript).
I have to say I am surprised by most of the reactions from folks regarding these "economic" decisions. This is how capitalism works, this is what its supposed to do: generate more capital for those who have it already.
I thought we'd be comparing apples-to-apples with Postgres running locally in this case?
Ah, I see what you mean: the number of unique examples increases logarithmicly with data size, which kind of makes sense. Language, in this case, follows a power law.

I think you argument is that this means smaller datasets are ok because they contain "most" of what the larger datasets contains. But I think this data-power-rule implies the opposite. ML models can often get to 80-90% accuracy on some task. Unfortunately, these models often aren't that useful because that missing 10% of accuracy matters a lot to users. So what this data-power-rule implies is that, in order to get the last 10% of gains, you need 10x the amount of data.
Site prep and site adaptation is a big challenge in construction. Every plot is a little different, and the pre-fab thing you want to install will need some adjustment, tweak or change that reduces the savings over just building it on-site bespoke.

Thats a lot of "ifs", but assuming it took off, from my point of view as a consumer, it does not matter if it runs on google's infrastructure, a raspberry pi, someone's basement server or on a potato.

> experienced users do avoid

I think experienced users use the common git workflows, which usually avoids this situation.

But, FWIW, this is a litmus test for me of one's true git prowess. Merge commits like "Merged origin/master into master" tell me the user doesn't know how to use git (as in: doesn't know how to rebase).

If you know how to rebase, I don't know why you wouldn't have this set by default, because undoing it if it accidentally happens is more work -- and requires rebasing anyway.

So let's say the board fires Pichai (won't happen).

This dude's a CEO of the most profitable tech company on the planet. So what will happen?

He will probably definitely get a multi-hundred-million dollar stock grant.

He could also be "demoted" to chairman of the board, making millions to do even less work.

He can start literally any startup and have a very high chance of securing massive funding.

Or he can just live off of his massive wealth until his end o of days while his next in line takes over and makes mostly the same moves that he did.

So why should Pichai be fired?

This is “let a large entity suck up much of the arbitrage value, with a small fraction going to you”, and already exists in most countries.

Seems quite different from “your household is an autonomous actor and you get almost all of the arbitrage value of reducing peak consumption”, which would be a radically different system (but ignores who’s going to pay for distribution, which is getting closer and closer to being the dominant cost of the grid).

One problem I always run into with rotary motion: gearing. Finding gears of the right diameter, thickness, and thread pitch is always such a stumbling block for me. Most sites that sell gears to fit their motors have a small selection, and sites that sell gears are very hard to navigate (only to find out they don't sell in quantities <1,000 units).

Putting things into specific for Amazon containers for automation is going to be a cost to the manufacturers to modify their production lines to accommodate and may be more labor versus what they do today.

Hi! We have some details on potential attacks in practice in Section 7 and discuss how hard it would be to brute-force the watermark in Sec. 5, at least to our current knowledge.

One important thing though: By design this watermark has a low false-positive rate (human text flagged as machine generated). Human text is in expectation 50% whitelisted (because the watermark PRNG is unknown to the human writer) with a clearly defined variance. We can then carefully set up a hypothesis test to check for machine-generated text (see ROC curves in Fig.4), with tiny FPRs.
