This looks great. I really want a way to plug in to (in my case) Xero, and do some automation. I'm perfectly happy writing code but it seems painfully complicated to do all the oauth authentication stuff and hosting an interface and whatnot. All I want to do is trigger an event on something happening. Is adding oauth services relatively easy?
Last few times I've done it was sprinting on stairs. Typically I'll do a 10 minute warm-up, and then 3-8 sprints, 20-40 seconds each, with ~3 minute rests in between. However I'm not super particular about protocols. I just go out, redline my heart rate a few times and call it a session.

Last summer I was sprinting stairs every 3 days for a month to prepare for a week of multi-pitch climbing (with huge approaches) in the Canadian Rockies. I whipped myself into pretty good condition for the trip and my body held up, but it wasn't until after that week of climbing mountains every day that I felt like I was in properly awesome condition.

I love those ChatGPT projects! Of course it's silly and nobody is really replacing somebody with a program that confidently get half it's answers wrong. But it's fun to just naively let ChatGPT solve the problem.

But I wonder what it's going to look like in a few years. Currently, it's really just a demo that got surprisingly huge traction. I think the most pressing problem is not to get ChatGPT smarter but to get it more reliable. I think more realistic use-cases would emerge if we could build systems that have a better understanding when they are out of breath. I don't think this needs a revolutionary breakthrough just more science.
Same here. I can't believe the cringy, "I take full responsibility (but no consequences)" line has become a standard part of the CEO layoff announcement. Saying you take responsibility, without actually sacrificing anything or really facing any consequences at all is so obviously slimy and patronizing, I don't know why anyone thinks it's a good thing to say.

Actually it's even worse than no consequences; often times these layoffs give the CEO more money. Their compensation is typically heavily in stock and these layoffs often raise the stock price, directly increasing the CEO's net worth. Taking "full responsibility" indeed.

As a first-generation immigrant I completely disagree with your framing here and it makes me sad that you view the United States in such an incredibly dismal way. There are many problems here, to be sure, but the US is undoubtedly one of the best places in the world to live, and, like very few other countries, tries to improve on its past, generation after generation.
It depends on the kind of load and the job. Harmonic drives tend to shear teeth if they get a shock load. It's good to have a back-driveable gear train, so that if the arm hits something or is overloaded, the forces push back to the motor, and the controller can see them and stop or deal with the problem. For something like a pick and place machine, you don't need that, but if you're trying to put screws into holes and might miss, you do.

3-phase servomotors (which used to be called "brushless DC servomotors") are much more available than they used to be. Drone motors are tiny 3-phase motors, and can be controlled as servomotors. The drone industry has done a lot to make such motors cheaper.
The controllers are much smaller and cheaper now, too. They used to be the size of a book or worse. But they're still more expensive than they should be. I was once at a trade show talking to a rep from a motor company I'd used, and noticed they now sold controllers, too. He said, yes, they had to get into the business because others were selling controllers for 10x the cost of the motor, and they cost about the same to make.

For a long time, you had to bolt the encoder on the back of the motor, and encoders cost way too much. Motors with built-in encoders have become more common.

"RC servos" from model aircraft are cheap, but crappy actuators. They're advancing from 1970s pulse width modulation control to 1980s serial, and for under $20 you can now get some force feedback.
It'd depend on the field (and region), I imagine, but after the first job or two I feel like all that matters with respect to schooling is that you went. Five or ten years into a career I'd be surprised if coursework that hadn't been used on the job was relevant, and GPA wouldn't even be considered.

Hobbies are probably not that useful either, but I could see them catching a hiring manager's eye. Coursework probably won't have the same effect, although I suppose it could help you get through ATS.
Which of these approaches is used by GNU coreutils, GNU sed, GNU grep, etc., on macOS? I love having them whenever I have to use macOS.
... Which is kind of worrying; is it really a good thing that processors are so complex that you need "decades" to use them to fully. Bottom line, you end up with chaotic (in the "sensitive to the slightest change") performance behavior.

OTOH this reminds of another saying, "don't roll your own crypto". But all those "don't" are a bit frustrating.
>so that's what people value.

It's not what I value, it's an observation of what others value. I know people couch their own opinions in the views of others a lot, but nowhere did I express personal feelings.

It was just trying to dig one layer deeper to contextualize the situation OP was talking about (Americans valorizing confidence games).
Maybe I'll be making 10x money there.
On the one hand, I guess you need a certain level of social trust for newspaper dispensing machines to work. On the other hand, there's very little value to be gained by taking 10 newspapers. I suppose you can hawk them on the street for a discount but the benefit is pretty small.

While I do have a VR device I've done the whole digital thing before (I have versions of some of my games on Tabletop Simulator, in fact one of them is downloadable on Steam Workshop right now) and it's just not the same as being able to handle things physically.

My brain doesn't catch things as easily without being able to physically manipulate objects. Like one example is I didn't notice how fiddly resource manipulation was when I only had a digital version of one of my games. It was only when I was manipulating it physically that I went "yeah that's not going to work".

Without playing with the physical bits, it's harder (for me) to come up with special actions or different ideas for mechanics. Not impossible, just harder.

Also my local playtest group and game designer conventions meet in person, so I better have something physical for those.

I do write simulation programs for some things though, like to help balance scores, determine if there's a first person advantage, how often do draws happen, etc.

However, I am interested in the recent push for sustainable game production, with people making roll and write games where the sheets you play on can be done on an iPad without printing anything out. I may have a design that's compatible with that, a concept that popped in my head recently that I'll start designing soon. One example[1] and another [2] and another [3] of these games on Kickstarter.

I reuse a lot of components anyway. I have a tub for wooden cubes, another for wooden meeples, a third for dice, a fourth for money chips, etc. and I have a few decks of cards that have six suits and numbers from 0 to 15 on them that covers a surprisingly wide range of games, that I can just grab and start using. But if I want to have special cards, then I use index cards (and eventually do graphic design and print card art for).

Also not sure why you think VR and E-ink is somehow not a consumable resource. They take an incredible amount of resources to make in the first place, probably far more than some sheets of paper, and eventually they'll need to be upgraded or replaced, which uses much more resources as well.

They own the libraries, a large part of the build toolchain these game devs are using, and in some cases the game studios themselves. It's already quite difficult for Wine to be compatible with every program, and anti-cheat can be especially problematic. I feel like they can break this if they want to.
It's part of the DOCSIS standard. Users are not allowed to modify/update the firmware on a DOCSIS modem because that could potentially be used to unlock additional speed outside of the users paid for speeds due to the way that the standard does bandwidth limiting on the modem instead of further upstream.

That is why ISPs have lists of cable modems that are certified for their networks, and thus the ones allowed to connect to them as that is the list they have firmware updates for.

You don't have to talk to the police at that moment. Say I would love to talk to you I just need to have my lawyer present. Of course they will push you to talk but you are not under any obligation to do so.

Then once you get home look up defense attorneys online and talk to a few over the phone. Select one and pay them for a few hours of their time. Based on their assessment you can then proceed to have a conversation with law enforcement if your attorney advises you to.

I am an occultist and a witch. I don't particularly work with many Gods, but I do work with 2 (Brigid and Loki). Others have worked with and against me at times.

First, there are a LOT of these types of beings. The Caananite Sky deity, later known as YHVH, is only one such. However, He was able to place Himself as the seat of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

> if god is flawless / perfectly just / infallible / all-loving etc

Simply put: they aren't. Even they do have limits. Those limits are a lot different than what we'd normally think of as limits. The reason why the Abramanic religions view their deity as that is primarily propaganda - the believers couldn't come to terms that they were fallible.

> then why is he ascribed with so many human flaws

It's my belief that they were human as well, and figured out the secret of ascension.

> (bible quotes)

The quotes you used are primarily the Christian names. The Torah version of those are nowhere near as clear as you indicate. In ancient Hebrew, no vowels were written down. It was the job of the head Rabbi to *interpret*.. divine, if you will, the hidden vowels and do a divination of the words in the Torah. And due to this, the meanings of the verses you quote change as times change. You can see this if you compare an Etz Hayim from decades apart. A stark notable change in readings happened just after WWII.

> why does he even care how one lives their life

That's complicated. Many of us in the occult not only believe in reincarnation, but also that each of us are pieces that are combined to make "me". And between death and life, those pieces can be jumbled around.

I've been able to access my past and some of my future lives. From someone who is timeless (think: deity), they're looking at the big picture, across all your lives. That path leads somewhere, and those decisions in each life matter to that course. Again, we're usually too narrow focused to see that, and most are also without the techniques to discern futures and past/future lives.

Some of us have larger plans. others, not so much. But usually those "plans" also have larger responsibility, and a lot of hardship. I just happen to be on a different path than most on this earth. It doesn't make me any more or less special than the rest of you.

Exactly.

The solution I hinted at is to actually double-down on standardized testing. I taught test prep to HS'ers in poor schools in California in the past and there are a couple of things I noticed:

1. For kids who cared, I could raise their score dramatically. The College Board disputes this is possible, but I could do this pretty consistently over the course of a year. There were a non-trivial number of kids who didn't care and the results didn't apply to them at all.

2. In the course of my prep I drastically increased learning. And this isn't a direct corollary to (1), and actually somewhat surprised me. The same students I taught saw their course grades go up and felt more confident in school. I think in part because I was a relentless, but effective teacher (if I say so myself).

Oddly, this is going the opposite direction from what people are proposing now and that worries me. People underestimate how well some of these students can do. It's like when they used to say Blacks didn't have the intellect to play QB. We didn't dumb down the position. But because of how important the role is, and how meritocratic sports is, Black kids figured it out. Give them a chance to figure this out, with some of the right incentives. (Side note, I do think the College Board also makes this harder and there is at least some anecdotal data that they have biased the test against underrepresented minorities -- but even with all that, I'm still optimistic).

Regarding my original comment -- it wasn't an entry level SWE role. I'd be open to hiring someone out of college, but you rarely find ones with the level of embedded systems background we needed.
Then you're very much misinformed.

Apologies if I sounded like I was unsympathetic to the people. I’ve been laid off, I know it hurts.

But I guess I don’t see how empathizing with that means. . . What? Microsoft should cancel an investment they think is strategic? Microsoft should keep job roles they no longer things are important?

Highly profitable companies like Microsoft are not zero sum. Nobody said “let’s lay people off so that we can invest in openAI”. Each decision is made independently, for its own ROI. If they believed that keeping these people and making the investment was the best approach, they have the funds to do so, easily.

I love the McSweeney’s piece, and I’m sympathetic to those laid off, I just don’t get the innuendo that a company should do something differently.

Cream and eggs really is the bee’s knees. I’m keen to try out Kenji’s method, but my approach yields pretty good results too, with perhaps less fuss (one pan, one fork, one spatula):

Melt a good bit of butter in a saucepan until it’s just browning, crack the eggs directly into the pan, whisk with a fork, plop some cream in (half an eggshell-full per egg), grind some salt and pepper, then stir gently every now and again with a silicone spatula, until there’s still a bit of runny egg. They keep cooking after taking off the heat, so serve as soon as they reach this stage.

Do you think Mercedes makes a cheap version of an SLK for the "poor Indians"?

I make more than the OP and live in his/her part of the world. Luxury items are more expensive than they are in the US.

That bigger house you can afford? You're still paying US prices or higher for your furniture and appliances. Same goes for autos, edu, cars, wine, dining, etc.

Generally speaking, "poor countries" are only relatively cheaper in terms of labor and situationally, real estate. Your Merc will cost you, having it washed will be relatively cheap.

A lot (most?) of the public would say that child exploitative imagery is just such a 1-bit issue: we should always come down on it as hard as possible with whatever powers necessary. But a lot of the more libertarian/free-speech type thinkers that are highly represented on HN think that it is not by any means a black and white/1-bit issue, that it’s actually really nuanced.

On the other hand blockchain and Internet ads and seemingly little else routinely get the 1-bit treatment on HN all the time: GP is going grey at the time of writing for saying roughly that crypto hurts orphans.

I don’t understand this, and since my theories about why tend to be pretty polarizing I’ll leave it at: I’m against 1-bit thinking on HN. I’m guilty of it sometimes, but I try not to be.

Edit: Misread GP with apologies. I think the larger point stands.
>> wonder if they're just spending $.99 of every $1

If they spend $0.99 for $1 of MRR, that is amazing, because the first month's revenue covers the cost of acquisition and the rest of the stream is profit (minus other expenses of course.)

Some of it depends on churn and how much MRR you lose and how quickly.

While I was in undergrad I toyed around with abusing the branch predictor on a few different machines, compiling something like the following with optimizations off - it performs an identical computation regardless of branch outcome:

void branchLoop(unsigned int condition, unsigned int &sum)
{
// put something suitably large here
unsigned int loopCount = 0x0fffffff;

unsigned int i;

// compile with -O0 or this gets optimized away
for (i = 0; i < loopCount; i++)
if ((i & condition) == 0)
sum++;
else
sum++;
}
