Supposedly the folks at Timebeat are working on a similar card[1], but one that appears as a PCIe device with two serial ports—one through to a Raspberry Pi, and one through to a U-blox module for timekeeping.

well, there's BangleJS, but no e-ink display
There is much more to the history of complex numbers, and that is also worth a read [0]. In particular, Gauss was very against the term "imaginary numbers" because it implies some mystery around them. I vaguely remember reading that he preferred the term "lateral" numbers, but that may be a mistake. Euler's formula connects them very plainly with rotations in a complex number plane.

The intuition I developed with them while studying physics was that, unlike "real" numbers which interact by stacking, complex numbers interact by stacking and rotating. This is bizarre to think about with single numbers in a 1D world, but we don't live in a 1D world. In higher dimensions they rotate and sheer rather than just scale.

And indeed, QM (at least as it was thought to me) would fall apart without complex numbers. Whether a physical theory can be consistent without them is an interesting question, but not because a physical theory with them creates some kind of metaphysical paradox.

Panels like this have been available on Waveshare for a while. They are fairly inexpensive (sub $100 range) but the refresh time is super slow. For example:

https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/7.3inch-e...

Looks nice, but the full refresh time is like 30s.
> I didn't even know there are decent e-ink colour displays available.

There's a few gotchas here. A lot of those color e-ink displays don't work like a LCD does, where you have R/G/B subpixels per pixel and get to mix final colors out of different intensities. Instead, a "7 color display" really means each pixel can only be one of 7 pixels.

Another gotcha is that in some implementations, the screen refresh will go color by color, so for multi-color content, the refresh time is quite long (as in, you don't have a pixel flipping to blue and another flipping to red concurrently).

This is just to manage expectations -- the result is still very cool.
The taskbar wasn't just the "Windows 10 taskbar". It's pretty much had code left over from Win95 and just was continually built on top of. It desperately needed a rewrite from scratch.

Yeah, but Carlson has a technical problem.

His cable audience is relatively unlikely to set up YouTube, Rumble or whatever on their TVs just to follow Carlson. They will probably get angry, and then just keep watching Fox.

You can also order many of the same panels directly from the online store of the E-ink company BTW. Not that the prices there are very nice. But it's useful to look up parts and then search for other distributors.

Just curate better and the problem goes away.

Show HN: A website to generate Magic: The Gathering cards
I created a website that utilizes OpenAI's LLM to generate realistic Magic cards based on a prompt. Using LLMs to generate Magic cards (or generate anything these days) is not new, but I've tried to put this together into a nice package and I am planning on making future improvements. You can generate some pretty flavorful cards depending on what prompt you provide.

There are some issues since this is an early version. You will see cards that are just flat out incorrect or that do not make sense. I also will not guarantee the website will always work, so please be nice :) You will also notice the website domain name is a random one generated by Azure (if people like this, I may get a real one).

Anyways, give it a shot and let me hear your feedback or features you would like to see.

Thank you and hope you have fun generating!
How… did you get wax on the pots and pans in the first place? Making candles or something?
> What I'm hearing is that there are a lot of mostly functional CPAP devices on the used market now.

Phillips is doing a replacement and you are supposed to send in your old device for disposal. Not sure what happens if you don't send it in, but they included a box and pre-paid label. No real reason to keep the old cpap since it's being recalled and the risk of being sent a bill from phillips for not returning the old one doesn't make trying to make some money on the side worth it. These things are hundreds of dollars.
The genius of all such people, I noticed at the start of my career in the 2000s, is that they take an idea that--for most folk--warrants maybe 3-5 mins of passing conversation at most (in the case of AI, maybe a few minutes more) and somehow twist, wring and hydraulically frack _years_ of blog posts, Twitter threads, speaking tours, books, podcasts, etc. out of it.

Their real brilliance is in identifying worthwhile candidates for prolonged shysterism and sophistic schmoozing, and, like an exceptionally gifted oil and gas industry geologist, to extract that stored potential hype energy to a degree no normal person would think possible.

This happened with Agile, with TDD, with pretty much any technocratic crapola that was laundered through the ostensible prestige of TED, and by god, did it ever happen with "blockchain", NFTs, and anything crypto-related.

Outside our particular sociocultural nexus, you most often see it with sundry species of MLM grifters, in the tradition pioneered by Quixtar-Amway and widely emulated, well, everywhere that lower middle-class consumer eyeballs go.
because of all the hard work you just described. Sailing channels boil down to 2 sub-genres that are successful. Boat Projects. Babes in Butt Bikinis. I'm too old for butt bikini's and I'm not proficient enough to guide you through my frankenstein boat projects. It's not about making money from YouTube itself. It's about directing your viewers to avenues where the odds are in your favor. Patreon, Merch sales, Monthly subscriptions, even a little OnlyFan's if that's your jam. YouTube is like public broadcasting. Your content brings the audience. It's up to you to compel them to visit another site and part ways with that money beyond $0.0000001/view.
Articles like this kind of have an unstated assumption that we should aspire to be as productive as possible, or spend time on what matters most to us, or something along those lines. As if we're in some sense wasting our lives if we don't.

There's nothing wrong with those things, but the more I watch people I know die, the more I realize that it doesn't make any difference how productive you were or if you maximally enjoyed how you spent your time. You die and the world moves on.

It's okay to try to improve your situation, but it's also okay to punch in at 8:00 and punch out at 5:00 and go home and watch the evening news.
If you're one of the "solvers" that gets pinged by random people all throughout the day, you need to learn how to use "do not disturb" and to balance it out with dedicated open time. Otherwise it's easy to get stressed and overwhelmed. Totally learnable, but I've seen a few people on my team take psychic damage from this.

Once you learn this though, it's actually easier to do remotely than in-person.
Depending on where your customer base is, the fraudulent transactions usually come from like the middle east, eastern europe, and other countries. See if you can track where those transactions are originating from HTTP request wise.

You might be able to just block traffic from those regions if it does not impact your business and customer base.

Not the best or cleanest solution, but when Stripe fails to handle fraud for you, you've got to get creative and hit the problem from all angles.
For most IT programmers (who were now the Java coders) CORBA was esoterica. So the JEE specs were never appreciated for their clarity and the necessary abstractions were deemed as "ceremony". Sun did a great job on the specs. They dropped the ball on (a) the pedogogical front (your precise point actually), and (b) crippling JEE specs to induce the likes of IBM to invest in J2EE app server development.
Already happening https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete
I felt kind of the same way — but as an alternate perspective, it was only 530 years ago that most of Europe didn't even know the Americas existed.
It might be the case on some of the older cards, but most modern(ish) cards that don't have VGA anymore don't require that.
Agreed. Negative value plop next to little to no value, all below the threshold of "worth spending time on."
Please, avoid these monuments and buildings. For your own safety.

There really isn't anything weird or suspect about renormalization (except the name, perhaps). Read A. Zee's book on Quantum Field Theory.
The impression you gave me matches that quote you dismiss relatively well.

Perhaps you should also re-read it, you may have carried less of the nuance you intended into the actual text. What you wrote suggested that one can only attain a moderate capability without in-person mentoring from experts. If nothing else this heavily insinuates those you're conversing with are incapable and inexpert.
Xen has a smaller TCB only if you consider Dom0 not part of the TCB. But since a compromised Dom0 would lead to the compromise of the whole system, I think it makes more sense to view Dom0 as part of the TCB.

Yeah but it's like a good reasoning valid for just about everything, like code that is undocumented or abandoned because people have left is just as bad, but that doesn't make us stop writing applications? Everything is good or bad depending on developer's attitude.. I don't really feel your point specific for Makefile or as discouraging about Makefiles..?
I don’t think the connections between the receptors (rods and cones) and the ganglion cells are “trainable”? You seem to be assuming Brain-like learning functionality inside the eye. I’m not a biologist, but I don’t think this is the case unless you’re considering evolution as training. If it were true, wouldn’t people have wildly varying fovea? I feel that these connections are anatomical and not learned in exactly the same way the number of arms, legs or teeth is not trainable.

Regarding the nanosecond point — I don’t believe that’s how information works, and there should be many obvious problems with the idea of an infinite information channel not to mention the obvious practical ones (propagation variability, lack of a reference point, etc.). There may be some optimizations, but generally the frequency (or frequency bandwidth, which is where the generic computing term comes from) determines the information capacity, and phase modulation doesn’t magically change this (it is actually what is used in many radio systems).

You can know that someone has built a brand when I didn't have to check that this was Jeff! However, I also saw his youtube video about it over a week ago.

Given his progress and dedication, I fully expect a stack of A100's "graciously sent by _someone_" by this time in 2024 ;) To compare with a 32xRP2040 UHD VGA cluster in a separate post. Or something! This Dude is killing it in this niche.
Again. My original comment was in response to someone who asserted it was ALWAYS less expensive to operate an EV than to operate an ICE vehicle. Which is all manner of wrong.

I gave a specific example involving an expensive EV my brother bought and a remarkably inexpensive used ICE vehicle I purchased. I did not say that every comparison of EVs with ICEs would exhibit the same relative costs. I was talking about a SPECIFIC example.

We're I logician I might refer to this as an existential: there exists one. I am not arguing it is a universal.

But if someone says "all EVs are less expensive to operate than all ICEs," then to disprove that statement you only have to find a single counter-example, which I did.

Finding a single counter-example to the universal does not imply the obverse of the universal. In other words, saying "hey, I bought a cheap used ICE vehicle and it is considerably less expensive to operate than my brother's EV" does not mean I am arguing "All ICE vehicles are cheaper to operate than all EVs."

I am happy that you like the model 3/Y and wish you many years of happy driving. <snark>At least until you have to sell your children to afford the replacement battery.</snark>

I never claimed otherwise. Java's and Rust's overall memory management strategies are far too different to compare. I was talking specifically about refcounting vs tracing.
Syntax is similar, semantics not at all.
I completely agree that Biosphere 2 was a great experiment. But at no time was Biosphere 2 a functioning independent biosphere -- it was a slowly decaying station. I think it is likely that we could eventually make one work. But that is a long way from "demonstrated feasible".

If you struggle to manage respiration, food is not your problem.

"The oxygen inside the facility, which began at 20.9%, fell at a steady pace and after 16 months was down to 14.5%."

"Daily fluctuation of carbon dioxide dynamics was typically 600 ppm because of the strong drawdown during sunlight hours by plant photosynthesis, followed by a similar rise during the nighttime when system respiration dominated. As expected, there was also a strong seasonal signature to CO2 levels, with wintertime levels as high as 4,000–4,500 ppm and summertime levels near 1,000 ppm."
I doubt many codebases are 100% generated by Copilot with no human input, and it’s not like having some Copilot snippets in your code is going to invalidate the copyright on the whole thing… I think that’s like being worried that writing parts of a book in a public domain font is going to invalidate the copyright on it

The copying verbatim thing is valid though, although they have mitigations against that
Given that 'Asia' is multiple countries and has upwards of 4.7B in population vs the US being a single country and having a population closer to 336M, I'd say that using the raw sales numbers as a measuring stick might be a bit off.

If we substract Japan, which is listed individually, you still have ~4.5B in Asia. That's €5.28/person in Asia (-Japan) vs €64.01/person in United States.

Hi, I use Nix and Emacs at work. I have, at points in the past, promised to write a blog post about how we use Nix.

It's not about being hip or fringe. Nix solves problems we have. And we're not the only ones. The founder of Hashicorp puts it this way:

> I'm actively trying to work through my Nix God complex. It's been so long that when I see non-Nix users complain about issues getting software to run, I'm truly confused. It's like someone looking at a river lamenting about having to ford it while I'm riding a bicycle on a bridge

(https://twitter.com/mitchellh/status/1650201460234412032)

Nix isn't ready to be mainstream yet. That doesn't mean you should talk down to those who are working towards that today. It is entirely possible that you may end up working with it yourself in due time.

You're the smarter one, because you're reflecting on who is the smarter one.
I answered the question before it was asked. If you want such a program to exist, you pay for it. If your idea is to make me pay for it, you don’t believe in paying your fair share. Whether or not it is practical to follow my rule to the absolute is a different question. I’m just tired of hearing the fair share people justify not paying their fair share.
For 3) the difference with in office work is that the manager can passively check in on how someone is doing. Just casually checking someone's posture from across an office you can tell if they're struggling or not.

Forcing a video call is a lot more formal and just doesn't have the same effect. People will attempt to present a cool demeanor.

Someone who's doing great and is fully self sufficient in office can probably crank out code form home just fine... its the cases where people are struggling or need to collaborate in an non-formal way that I think in office helps the most.
