The timing could not be more perfect. Yesterday I realized that I need to create my very first PCB to repair and smartify a device that I broke. Today I thought I should use ChatGPT to better understand how things work. And now this.

There are a lot of space constraints so first thing is figuring out if it is even possible to build as small as needed. Usually I would probably be better off starting to build big first and then scale down. But I feel confident that I can already get quite far with the amazing resources out there.

I spent hours watching videos about soldering, PCB design, some of the components I think I would need (very flat flexible cables, small ESP32 SMD, no space for USB) and then how to start actually doing the work. My last exposure to electronics was in grade 8 and that was very heavy on cables.

This 3h video here was very helpful to understand the process. It's an overview of building your own ESP32 dev board with EasyEDA from start to finish: https://youtu.be/S_p0YV-JlfU

I like these top-down big picture kind of things that go over everything in just enough detail to know what to search for. Does something like this but with flux.ai exist for complete beginners? The tutorials seem more focused on users switching over from other PCB design tools.

Every step of the way I am just amazed how today I can get physical things custom made and shipped within days.

And then there's fun videos like this here: Small scale fully automated PCB production in what is basically a garage -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH6ljHUx_IM&t=800s
Internal cost accounting is complicated.
Why would I be angry at Elon taking over Twitter if I had a dislike of centralised platforms? I wouldn't even be on Twitter in the first place.

And yeah, people who use the platform less will see less changes. That seems almost obvious. But that doesn't mean that there aren't any changes. And some of those changes are very obvious, like the fact that the maximum post length on this micro-blogging service is no longer 240 characters, but 10,000 characters.

If anything, your hand-waving of nu-Twitter criticism seems more ideological than anything. "They're not valid criticisms, they just hate Elon."
For starters, without restrictions on the redirect URI, I (as the attacker) can just redirect a user to the authorization endpoint with a client ID of a trustworthy client, a redirect URI pointing to my server, and a PKCE challenge that I selected so that I know the PKCE verifier. The auth code will end up at my server and I can redeem it, giving me (instead of the trustworthy client) access to the user's resources. If the client is a confidential client, I can use a authorization code injection attack to redeem the code and work with the user's resource.
You might be arguing for what people think they want if they're polled.

If Google always prioritized official websites, dollars to donuts, people wouldn't like it.
IMO the best thing about snapshot isolation is that it's conceptually easy to understand and reason about.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with choosing products and services that don't align with your views either. Just look at conservatives trying to cancel budweiser & disney.

I wasn't aware of Ein's outspoken and proactive homophobia, so this is still news to some.
The iPad store didn't break away from the iOS store until 2019. The original app store came out in 2008, eleven years earlier. While you have as certain point, the division is meant to highlight apps which treat the iPad as a mini laptop, with a keyboard and pencil, vs just a bigger phone. If you've ever coded a website to resize, that's child's play. to actually get an app working properly across both sizes, you've got to put in significant work for each. For developers that don't want to put in that work *, listing in one or the other is fine, and possible Uber the current regieme.

* the developer for papers please's blog about the mobile port is indicative of the work that goes into supporting other screen sizes. Asking developers to have infinite time and motivation is just not realistic. also note that it took a few years for the mobile port to be released.

The purpose of incorporation is to encourage business speculation by offering a mechanism to limit personal liability of the owners. That's the only purpose a corporation has and they definitely don't have responsibilities themselves as they are only a legal fiction. The employees of a corporation have responsibilities.
We just need to take this same success and copy/paste it to other industries enough times until everyone gets tired of doing N different legislation and a more abstract and widespread bill is created and passed.

Farm equipment was a good first win because the opposition isn't as big as some other industries. It's relatively easy to get everyone on board with helping farmers and compared to say Apple or Google companies like John Deer don't have as deep of pockets.

We probably won't have a lot of success jumping directly to one of the more difficult markets like phones or cars, since the opposition there is strong, well connected and well funded.

The next battle will likely be won over a market that is bigger than farm equipment but smaller than phones or cars in general. I could see kitchen appliances, washesr/dryers or other equipment in that space being a good target. It would be relatively easy to motivate a base of people to care about it, because everyone has these appliances, and the opposition is fragmented and not as well funded in lobbying.
Yeah, in the EU bold strategies are pretty expensive. But sadly Apple is a slow learner.
Then maybe it should try to make a sale instead of blathering on about how I can ask it what sound does a pig make.

They have 15 years of purchase history, prime video usage, and presumably are snooping on what podcasts I play over Echo. They should be able to suck a little less. Any random page of a 20 year old sears catalog would carry more relevance to me than anything Alexa has suggested.
Pretty much all vaccines (and most medicines and health interventions in general) have the possibility for adverse reactions and side effects. Health agencies will often balance the likelihood of adverse effects against how likely various population groups are to get a disease (and how serious the symptoms of the disease are).
She wasn't just prompting the AI. That comic required significant work on the user's part to edit the images and re-synthesize portions of each frame repeatedly while doing things like inpainting, outpainting, re-prompting, etc. And likely required use of some other tools like Photoshop or Indesign (midjourney absolutely did not generate the bubbles or comic book text).
> If such a physical event had happened in AWS it would have been a non-event with things just failing over to other AZs.

In many cases in AWS an availability zone is actually composed of multiple datacenters, each with their own redundancies. This may not be true for smaller regions, but in large ones it definitely is. In those cases, losing an entire datacenter would maybe take out a percentage of instances in that AZ. This has happened before and our production systems barely noticed other than provisioning new nodes to replace the failed health checks.

I’m curious why you think it’s scandalous. Do you disagree that Europe was most powerful at the time of writing?

I think it makes total sense to say this isn’t just or appropriate. But to say that Europe was powerful is not scandalous. The section seems written with humility and more of a theme of “I’m not sure why Europe is so powerful and luck is involved” than a more unpleasant version that could have said something like “Europe is the best because the rest of the world is a bunch of monkeys” but that’s not what he wrote.
I suppose you could modify the binaries directly and redistribute and it would be legally allowed? Not like anyone is going to do that though.

This sounds like a nightmare, but I’m honestly delighted to see that there is at least one person out there who is looking forward to a future full of renting stuff.
It kinda just sounds like you're content with family farms not existing, because all of your points fail to address the economic realities for these farms.
One thing which is quite hard to do in Datomic is simple pagination on a large sorted dataset, as one can easily do with LIMIT/OFFSET in MySQL for example. There are solutions for some of the cases, but general case is not solved, as far as I remember (it’s been a while I used it extensively)
“No real gain”

I don’t agree with this. iirc Rack ultimately uses and array to represent HTTP responses. It has three members: the status code, the headers, and the response body.

If you’re shipping a new change, is it easier to mistake response[0] or response.headers?

This is a trivial example, but the general class (ha) of trade-off is amplified with more complex objects.

I love clojure and lisp but the blindness behind a statement like “no real gain” has always kneecapped adoption.
Your comment reminds me of a quote from the movie Charlie Wilson's War:

"Well if anyone asks what the hell I'm doing on the ethics committee we'll just tell them I like chasing women and drinking whisky and the Speaker felt we were underrepresented."

In other words, even people who like to party deserve representation in government.

And as for lying about "devil's triangle", apparently several classmates from both Georgetown Prep and Boston College have confirmed his definition:

Ask HN: How should I choose which startup idea to work on?
I've been a programmer for the last 7 years and my ADD brain is very good at pattern recognition, so I always get tech startup ideas. Lately I've been wanting to actually execute and start one of those ideas. I have a list of about 8 ideas that are scalable & realistic but I'm having a hard time on just picking one to focus on.
Any tips or guidelines for picking ideas amongst others? (I'm aware of Pieter Levels's "one idea a month" but other like Sam Altman advocate the opposite)
thanks !
Family setup Apple watches are the most likely situation where people are browsing the app store from their watch. No companion iPhone.
And how about the negative responses involving hallucination? Ideally giving an example of the worst hallucination encountered thus far and least worst thus far.

As a potential customer, I'm more interested in knowing where the potential known failure points or points of friction are than knowing what's working well.

Yes, when it works, it's certainly compelling in its responses—but as it never knows when it is wrong, it is equally compelling at a cursory glance when it hallucinates.

For most folks interested in this, their Dunning-Kruger complex will prevent them from picking up on when it's wrong because it's so convincing and sure of itself.
EU lawmakers committee reaches deal on AI Act
Suggestion: use Brave Search as default, and g! for localized queries. I did that with DDG and for a while with Brave Search, but now it's surprisingly good enough even for my country.
It's a shame, the idea is good, just not defensible against copy cats.

I think they missed an opportunity to pivot into voice chat for websites/apps as a service. I see big value in how Discord does ambient voice chat as a feature of a server, and I think that could translate well into smaller communities that live outside Discord in websites/apps. Provide the service in an easy to use slick API/SDK, and handle all the heavy lifting of voice data/p2p etc.
wouldn't suppose you could tell me what it's for? I see someone saying that Twitter recreated it.. but that doesn't mean anything to me.. their website is so arrogant as to basically only offer a link to download the app.. because I should just.. "know" what they do?
Yup. Tumblr banned adult content after Verizon bought it. Turned out that's what most people were using Tumblr for. Pretty much killed it overnight.

AI tools will soon be able to generate videos showing a specific human producing a specific piece of art. Should we require a video of the person taking the first video also?
Most people dont realise that thrush can kill.

75% of women will have at least one episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis and this is when thrush gets out of control, but it can still be spread when its not out of control because its practically impossible to get rid of.

In-hospital all-cause (crude) mortality among people with candidemia is approximately 25% and remains a persistent public health problem[1].

What annoys me, is this knowledge is not something new, its been known for decades and I remember the sex education I got at school or complete lack of it apart from the mechanics but never taught the implications of STD's et al, which means the Govt and health experts are fuelling these persistent public health problems along with all the nutters who should be locked up in the funny farms who think God will save them!

That's a fascinating comparison.

It's true that there are major differences in academia across different fields. NIH funding is typically so much more $$ than NSF[1] -- and I wonder if this has an effect on how these fields are structured and thus who enters them. In particular, could the soft money[2] salary encourage people who are willing to take that bet?

But also UCSF/UCB's biomed stuff is kind of a different machine as far as I can tell -- it's not as focused on training (hence, fewer students and more postdocs/post-PhD researchers) and more akin to a traditional industrial research lab. But then: who are they teaching exactly at UCSF (where's the "heavy teaching load" coming from) if there are so few PhD students -- med school students?

For those reading along:

[1] Think medical/biomed/bioeng/pharma/etc. (NIH) vs physics/astronomy/computing/social science/etc. (NSF)

[2] "Soft money" means your (PI) salary is paid from the grants you get; don't get enough grants to cover your salary and you're out, typically, if you can't get a friend to sponsor you under their grants.
>Much like abortion, where conservatives claim banning abortion is to protect life, it's just about punishing and controlling women.

Whoah, where'd you learn to read minds?
This is close to "we're going to let $A go instead of $B because $B [needs the job more/needs the money more/will have a harder time finding another job]" when by any objective measure $B is the lower performer. It has no place in this type of decision-making (both the bad side with layoffs, and the positive with raises or promotions) but it is still probably there.
It's wild to me how different the standards are in other media. I doubt there'd be any hope of defending a case involving two things this similar, if the work in question were a book or a song, for instance. Suits are brought and settled or won over works that are way more different and may not actually involve any deliberate copying at all, just some coincidences. I guess the standards are way looser for graphic art?

[EDIT] I mean, imagine the musician saying "nah, I don't owe you anything, because I copied your song exactly, but by hand, and I shifted everything up a half step and increased the tempo vs. the reference recording, from 90bpm to 95bpm". LOL WUT? You'd obviously lose, it's not even a close call.

It's actually the impact of the paper that matters, how many cites it gets.
I don't care if people disagree with me, and I wouldn't have anything against him if he was just personally bigoted and wrote about how much he hates gay people on his blog or something.

I don't think people should be canceled for expressing opinions, but that's not the same as funding an effort to actively harm people. He is entitled to his opinions, but he is not entitled to enforce them on other people.
Agreed, and one can observe exactly the same dynamic in trans-only spaces. Indeed, it would be very unexpected if males donning feminine attire had any correlation with them acting less aggressively, compared to females.
I hope whoever is hosting data in that zone has thoroughly tested and verified backups offline or with another cloud provider. Of course, you can complete DC failover, depending upon service needs, but it costs more resources. Either way, timely tested backups are the only way to survive natural or manufactured disasters. Good luck to Google OPs team and everyone else involved with the GCP region in the EU.
And how does that compare to the frequency of revolutions in earlier periods?

The premise wasn’t that there would be no further revolutions. Just that they would be more rare. I think it’s important to think on this from a 500 year horizon rather than just what’s happened recently.
(As an outsider looking in) I think Deere's (and many other companies) financial incentives more align with product gatekeeping, than with maximum safety and performance; maximum safety does not pay Deere's bills, but service appointments do.

For physical zone separation you need to check the `supportsPzs` attribute when listing the zones (e.g. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/zone..., but you should be able to find many other places where this attribute is surfaced).

It says "reserved for future use" but other docs mentioned "physical zone separation": https://googleapis.dev/java/google-api-services-compute/alph...
Right. If you speak Russian and actually look at what is happening in Telegram, you'd know better. If I was a dissident there and my adversary would be SVR/GRU, I surely wouldn't call it paranoia.

With AWS you can create a replica with a few clicks. Latency is measured in milliseconds for the three-nines observed usage.

I don’t think this is a huge challenge (anymore) for Postgres or whatever traditional database.
For those who haven't followed the story:

2007 - the Clojure programming language is announced by Rich Hickey and gains quite a bit of traction over the next 5 or 6 years. It never becomes a "top 5" language, but it could still today be arguably considered a mainstream language. It's been endorsed as "the best general purpose programming language out there" by "Uncle" Bob Martin[1] (author of Clean Code) and Gene Kim[2] (auther of The Phoenix Project, the seminal DevOps book). The fact that Rich spent two years working on it without pay and without the commercial backing many other languages enjoy is a real testament to his commitment and his vision. A Clojure-related emacs package[3] quotes Rich when it starts a REPL: "Design is about pulling things apart."

2012 - the Datomic database is announced by Rich Hickey's company. The database is praised for its ingenuity and its "time travel" features. It was designed to be deployed anywhere in the beginning, but, over time, it became difficult to deploy outside of AWS environments and even the AWS deployment path was quite cumbersome--the Datomic marketing page used to feature a maze-like diagram of all the AWS-specific features needed to make the thing work (it would be nice to find a link to that picture); I'd think most companies would have trouble digesting that and integrating it into their technology "stack".

2020 - Nubank (a Brazilian fintech backed by at least one US venture firm and a large production user of Datomic) acquires Rich Hickey's company. It appears Datamic never gained much use outside of a handful of companies. Making it free of charge (2023) may be the cost-effective thing to do in such a situation if it costs more to handle billing and payments than are brought in. The reason they're not releasing the source code could be legal one or simply the fact that open sourcing a large piece of software takes a lot of effort--something a for-profit financial services company like Nubank doesn't prioritize (rightly so).

In other countries such as Japan public transit is generally faster then private transportation. I think one of the reasons you see a low adoption of public transportation in some North American cities is because it can do the opposite and extend your trip duration by a significant amount. Safety is obviously another factor. It seems like in a lot of places pedestrians are treated with disregard. Pedestrians being able to safely commute within their communities shouldn't be controversial, but for some reason it is.
It's essentially a conference call app. You create a room or space or whatever and you can participate or listen in on audio. Some have called it live podcasting. But it's a conference call in the most basic sense. Twitter copied it with Spaces, which feels like a more natural fit. The reason Clubhouse is so popular, or was so popular is that a16z funded it at the peak of zero interest rates. Clubhouse is a ZIP and will likely either get acquired or go out of business as it seems many have stopped using it.
What is scary about private information hoovering, private profiling, private credit score reporting and tracking, and of course private security/armies, is that it provides all the infrastructure for a turnkey change for authoritarian regimes.

Especially since the era of the megacorps makes their reach so powerful. And the (Godwins Law warning) third reich was very aligned with corporations, so much so that American megacorps and cartels were meeting to discuss overthrow of the US government for a similar system.

SO all the ghosting abuse by google, ebay, etc is very scary.
