Some tips for soldering beginners that helped me when I first started building FPV drones.
-Get good solder. Kester 63/37 is my favorite. Stay away from lead-free solder, it's harder to work with. Soldering temperatures are too low to vaporize lead, just wash your hands after handling leaded solder.
-Buy good flux. If you have a problem soldering, flux will probably fix it. No, the flux inside the solder wire is not enough.
-Apply flux on the pad, heat the pad, lay your wire on the pad. While applying heat to the pad with your soldering iron, start feeding the solder onto the point where your pad and wire meets. It should start melting immediately and create a shiny connection. If it's not melting immediately, your soldering iron might be too cold. I like 380-420 range. Higher the iron temperature, quicker you should be. Don't rest the soldering iron for a prolonged time on the pad, it will burn it. Nothing on a flight controller (including XT-60 power connections) require more than a couple of seconds to heat up.

On a side note, if you're not going for a specific build, don't buy rebranded brushless motors with pilot names on them. The same motor usually can be found cheaper, with the factory branding. Same goes for solder. TBS doesn't manufacture solder, they just probably rebrand Kester or some other similar brands with a margin. Joshua Bardwell's FPV shopping list should mention every one of those brands so you can look it up.

Also as an additional step, consider conformal coating after you're done with all your connections.
I HIGHLY recommend this talk from the HotChips conference "HC29-K1: The Direct Human/Machine Interface and Hints of a General Artificial Intelligence", specifically the next 4 minutes after this timestamp:

Crossover - a commercial implementation of WINE by CodeWeavers - is indeed amazing!
I'm a pretty good craftsman, and if the angle grinder I'm working needs to be held 'just so' to keep it running, weighs twice what my other ones do, and reeks of ozone - I have absolutely no problem saying 'screw this thing' and throwing in the trash.

Nothing works anywhere near as well as PAP therapy. Certainly not diets (overweight is often an effect of apnea, not a cause). Sleeping positions can help in the case of positional apnea, but certainly not for everyone. Botox injections anywhere will have to be repeated regularly. Fucking with the uvala (like in UPPP surgery) can actually worsen sleep apnea and has all kinds of nasty infection and side effect risks.

PAP therapy works. The biggest problem with it is that it has a bad reputation, which is largely caused by doctors and sleep clinics not doing their fucking jobs. Patients are often sent home with a CPAP machine, titrated to some semi-random setting which happened to be fine for the night of their sleep study in an artificial environment. And that's it. Goodbye and good luck. That's such a messed up way of treating people with a life-long ailment ...
It is tragic and foul for technology to make things worse in this way, IMO.

The bus- / train-riders have no choice in the matter.

It adds hours onto the driver's day.

It's a shame the mitigation takes as long as the article claims it does.
The way stores used to work, when goods were relatively more expensive than labor, would be that you would go up to the store counter and ask for what you wanted and the clerk would fetch it from in back rather than the customer having to find goods on the shelves. With cheap robots you could go back to that model.
Try making it reverse this: "Quickly, the kangaroo hopped away, escaping under the azure sky."

I couldn't make it reverse that correctly even after prompting it five times to fix its mistakes.

Most commonly it writes: ".yks eruz a eht rednu gnipacse ,yawa depoh ooragnak eht ,ylkciuQ"

It also can't find the mistakes in there for the life of it.

- Banks not doing their due diligence to make sure they are lending to the correct person, and then being allowed to blame the victim for it.
You can blame a worker it something goes wrong and you trusted their result. But you can't go to YOUR boss and blame ChatGPT if YOU used the wrong prompt and trusted the result of the AI.

Salary isn't for delivering an untrustworthy result, its for being responsible for the result. AI doesn't take responsibility.
the RLHF has indeed made them quite sycophantic. i don't believe in any of the 'latent space wario' stuff, but i really enjoy using it explicitly to get clarification and explanation from opposing viewpoints.

i would love to see some experiment where a debate is held/moderated by an LLM which can help find common ground in highly contentious viewpoints. the post-mortem from each side would be a fascinating read.
I was going to say something similar. The meanings aren’t code, they’re data. So you can definitely pull up the vector for “meaning” or anything else

The claim (that I’m making at least) is not that these systems can understand meaning. It’s that they can store a representation of meaning and do something with it. I think there’s a way lower bar for this. (I also think the bar was cleared quite a while ago and we should consider it settled.)

I could write down the meaning of a few words on some pieces of paper. (I guess if someone disagrees with that then talking about vectors is pointless). I could stuff each of those papers into a different dog toy and train a dog to get them on command. Then I think you could truthfully say something like “this dog can retrieve the meaning of the word ‘independence’, ‘hammer’ or ‘sing’ for you”. It wouldn’t be true to say the dog understands any of those words.
If you're on a Mac and using FF (probably not FF specific), turning off "ambient mode" in youtube can save 30% cpu. I just found this out while searching why FF was taking 90% of my cpu while watching youtube videos in normal mode, but went down to 40% use if viewing in full screen. Turns out that this youtube "ambient mode" was the culprit. My lap is now cooler and the fan doesn't turn on anymore. I wonder how much power I've wasted due to this new "feature" they added 6 months ago that I didn't know about.
I think the contradiction is that if you don't allow the government access to the financial system then there is little it can do for you to get your money back or investigate financial crimes.
I don't like the Apple watch because of the alerts.

I wish it had geofencing and other custom rules so I could say "give me these notifications all the time, and these other ones when I'm away from home, these when I'm in the office", etc.

Otherwise every notification I get during the average workday happens on my Mac, my iPhone, and my Watch at the same time. It's like sensory overload making every little thing seem like an emergency. So in conclusion I really don't enjoy the ding ding ding of my watch all the time. It makes it extremely hard to disconnect when even your watch is harassing you. I tried turning off all notifications, but then it's less functional than a normal watch.

The new DND custom features are almost there. Maybe in a couple years...

I'll admit it was nice when I was biking 40mi routes regularly or running for use with Strava or something, but I can just bring my phone...

Also trying to do any input on the watch is so painful.

Idea is great, execution is still so far away from where it should be.

Shortly after we get self-driving cars widely available, most municipalities will have trolly busses that run the grid so that the most you need to wait is like 2 minutes. At which point, a substantial amount of people aren't going to pay $20 to get from A to B when you can get there slightly slower for $2.

> Anyone got any other experiences with things that cause brain fog?

Allergies and Food sensitivities.

These are often incredibly hard to diagnose because there are foods that we eat so commonly, we don't have a good control/variable separation for experimentation. In addition, allergies and food sensitivities don't develop all at once. They increase over time. This makes discovery even more difficult.

But it's almost always this.

As for myself, I had severe brain fog and fatigue. It turns out I was allergic to coffee. Looking back, I now see that it was something that became more and more severe over about 10 years.

It took me quitting coffee for several weeks for an unrelated reason to discover that it was the problem. When I started again, the stark difference in how I was felt made it much easier to diagnose. I got lucky really.
Yes, and that's arguably by design. If you need confirmation of funds, cardholder/accountholder authentication, and a dispute mechanism that doesn't side with the customer in 100% of scenarios, SEPA Direct Debit is probably not the payment method you want.

> the "we debited 1c on your account" thing

This doesn't actually work with SEPA Direct Debits, since there is no such thing as "disputing a reversal" or "compelling evidence": If the accountholder says "funds back, please", the involved banks have to oblige.

In fact, direct debits are so reversible/non-final that it's SOP for bankruptcy managers to claw back all of the last 8 weeks' worth of direct debits drawn on a bankrupt person's or entity's account, which can be quite surprising for debtors.

In other words, it's possibly a better mental model to think of direct debits as a request for a wire in 8 weeks that gets earmarked for approval by default if enough funds are present, but that accountholders can cancel at any point in time, as far as finality (but not liquidity) is concerned.
Given that the US has record employment levels and huge numbers of unfilled positions, probably they were busy working.
Although I perform as much of my own auto maintenance as I can, I watch Eric O because he's entertaining, and all of the technical wisdom and advice just comes along for the ride.
As a few people have mentioned, YouTube is a treasure trove of instructions on how to use test equipment like multimeters/oscilloscopes/etc. to see if stuff's alive and responsive. Ins and outs of JTAG is also handy and practical. If you want to go deeper, intro books on electronic circuits and some of the online MIT electronics classes are great.

> So things are improving so fast that researchers can't keep up... and therefore nothing will change?

Maybe you can ask ChatGPT to summarize the article for you, if you don’t have the time to read it.
I read Bing only uses GPT 4 when in creative mode, else it's GPT 3.x, not sure how true that is, but I haven't really found Bing very good.
> Unless demand also rises tremendously because costs plummet, which it may for some things, but surely won't for all.

Maybe, maybe not. Demand has always risen in the past. Historically 90+% of us were manual agricultural labors, generally unfree at that (i.e., serfs or slaves). Nowadays machines do almost all that work, yet we don't have anything like 90% unemployment (yeah, there are still farmers, but not 90%... plus the farmer isn't grubbing in the ground with a stick in the blazing sun, Mesopotamia-style. He's riding in an air-conditioned combine harvester with a fridge full of tasty beverages and an internet connection).
I've known a few addicts and recovering addicts over the years. Telling them to "just stop, you're hurting yourself" does about as much good as telling someone suffering from depression to "just be happy, you're hurting yourself".

You do know that global land use for agriculture has peaked and certainly in the UK energy usage peaked in 2005.

All this while the world is greening.

Most of the developed world too has declining birth rates.

So I would hardly call it an ever expanding consumption.
I have a greyscale desktop setup (ex-Xray review monitor) that I occasionally fire up and use for writing. Not sure how to describe it other than 'calming' in the sense the lack of color is one less distraction. I picked up the greyscale 'habit' back when mono VGA monitors were much cheaper than color and I picked one up being short of cash. Later, the beautiful NeXT mono setups sold me.
> What do you think might be such a bullshit job?

Babysitter.

We'll go from robots supporting humans to humans supporting robots.

My Roomba still can't vacuum the house without needing some form of "help" at least three times. Robots can do a lot, but it will probably be cheaper to pay human custodians to manually intervene as needed than to program AI and bots to account for every conceivable failure case in every possible scenario.
My wife and I gave our old car to her parents. In the subsequent years, its battery kept dying and we had to go over to their place and jump it. Never happened in the prior 7 years we'd owned the car. The mechanic said nothing wrong with the battery, but suggested there might be a parasitic drain somewhere.

A few days later, we were visiting them. I looked at the car and saw the door closed, but not properly latched and ever-so-slightly ajar. You know, that half-closed thing car doors do when you don't close them hard enough.

It turns out someone, possibly my son, had been not closing the door completely. This did not keep the lights on or cause any other visible sign, as it would in some cars.

After I told them to slam the door fully shut, never a problem again for 2 years and counting.
If you're deadset on using React, this blog goes into a nice bit of detail on the tradeoffs of some of the more popular choices: https://www.fullcontextdevelopment.com/blog/remix-vs-next-fu...

That said, IMO React is so unpleasant to use (compared to alternatives) that I'd urge you to keep an open mind about your alternatives. Svelte, Mithril, Vue, Angular, and many more.
I just found this tiktokenizer project in GH that might be of help to you https://tiktokenizer.vercel.app/
Let's take a historical analogy. Here's a cool video about how to make money trading. If you're under 40 you might only have seen this form of trading in the Eddie Murphy/Dan Aykroyd movie Trading Places:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffEPqLIBnkM

There's two kinds of advice in this video. There's the timeless advice: be informed, understand why people are trading, know the rules. There's the incidental advice: be physically dominant, stand in the right place in the pit, look around you.

Not long after this talk, trading started getting done by computers. This is still ongoing amazingly, but it started around when this video was recorded. People were already known to be bringing in machines to calculate prices, and a friend of mine was one of the first to type in old commodity prices into a computer in order to find long running trends.

Some of the guys who were successful on the floor were also successful "upstairs" sitting in front of a screen. Others went on to driving a black cab.

What happened? Two things, one is that fundamentals remain fundamentals. If you knew the rules and understood the customers, you could still make money on a computer. You also had to learn how computers worked. This often meant that new hires were of a different culture entirely to the Essex boys who'd previously ruled the market. My first boss traded options without the equivalent of a high school diploma. He (wisely!) hired an Oxford engineering graduate.

What also happened was that a new incidental skill-set became very important, namely programming. Suddenly opportunity opened up if you understood how microwave links worked, how lock-free queues worked, how exchange APIs worked. This was perhaps the equivalent of that story about the Rothschilds and the Battle of Waterloo, where the economic fundamentals were the same but the winner was someone who could organize the mechanics best.

I suppose AI will be the same. Various businesses will have their fundamentals, but AI may entirely change the face and the culture according to who can figure out how to use it. Some people will survive having retooled, others will have to leave, having discovered their position was actually only held up by incidental factors.
Yes, the changes to the transport alignment you referred to in the original comment are likely to be on a much larger scale than a century, absent some far more intrusive infrastructure changes than the EV..

Consider the Roman and Medieval patterns that still persist in much of the European cityscape.. Ironically, these make for a much less expensive return to non motorized personal transportation (which was never a good fit for cities designed around animal powered vehicles). The design decisions that were common sense in the America of the Highway Act era - which are still being built out - are likely to have huge impact on future transport infrastructure decisions for much longer than a single century.
I love the $1400+ solder station I use at work. If I could have one at home, I totally would. Solder tweezers and a heated solder vacuum are very useful.

But I am pretty handy with the $130 Hakko I got from adafruit back when I got one for home use. I soldered for a long time with a cheapy $40 Weller I got off of amazon, although I won't go back to it any time soon. Getting a brass sponge and tip tinner really made that thing viable as a daily driver though.

I think that's the difference he was trying to illustrate: if you can't do a basic through-hole board with a 40W pen-style iron from the hardware store, it ain't the tool.
In a similar vein, the driverless cars are actually useful to me biking, since they have predictable and safe behavior. When I see one, I take the lane, and it will follow at a reasonable distance, and block other cars behind from aggressively squeezing past.
> Which is to say "If a brain can do it, a Turing machine can simulate it" which pretty much everyone in the field agrees with.

There is no such consensus on the computability of consciousness. It remains an open question in cognitive science and AI.
I can count at least one user that Firefox lost to this bug. Pretty happy with Brave now, won't even bother trying FF again.
i just wanna say i've been using this the last couple days and found it extremly useful!

i don't have diagnosed adhd but my dad does and i'm just too lazy (ha) to get an evaluation myself. for whatever reason, having this tool and knowing there's a break coming makes is much easier to stay focused for the working time.

so thanks for creating and sharing! :D
I need a cofounder so send me an email
It took a bit of prompt engineering but this worked for me in ChatGPT v4:

> Let's play hangman. I have thought of a 8 letter word, you have to guess it one guess at a time. You get to draw an ascii-art hangman too. Then YOU guess with a letter and I'll tell you if you were right or not. I won't give you a category clue. Start by drawing the hangman in a code block and then guessing a letter.

The same prompt against 3.5 didn't work - it didn't seem to be guessing likely next letters, and it couldn't keep track of how many body parts it should have drawn on the diagram.
I wonder how this selection process varied as proteins started mixing, or even bonding, with lipids and sugars. Probably not that much, though those processes may have allowed the gradual inclusion of the other amino acids.

> this disregard for the English language is truly despicable. You ought to be ashamed.

I mean, you brought race into it and implied I would care more if it happened to a white woman. That is the textbook definition of race-baiting. Both of your examples knew they were pregnant and abused drugs that killed the fetus. And both happened before Roe was overturned. So is there a point you're trying to make somewhere?

> Says who? Some prosecutor?

The law, which is written by legislators democratically elected by the populace of the area they serve. That's how democracy works. If you think giving meth or valium to a baby or a developing fetus is a woman's prerogative, then I'm not sure there is any point in this discussion.

> If a man takes a Valium, he won't be charged with anything.

Neither will a woman. Now if she is breastfeeding or pregnant that is a different story because it is no longer just her consuming the drug. She is no longer just endangering herself at that point. If a man endangers a child he will be charged as well. And in fact men face far heavier sentences in the legal system than women do. [0]
