ESD safety is an important topic, particularly in industries where sensitive electronic components are involved. However, there are many misconceptions surrounding ESD safety, especially when it comes to the use of cardboard and cotton clothing.

Cardboard, for example, is often thought of as a safe material for packaging and handling electronic components (motherboard boxes included). However, it can actually generate a significant amount of static electricity, which can damage sensitive components. Similarly, cotton clothing is often thought of as a safe material to wear in ESD-sensitive environments, but it can actually generate static electricity as well, polyester is generally considered preferred over cotton.

It is a common misconception that electrostatic discharge only causes damage if you can feel it. In reality, ESD can cause damage to sensitive electronic components even if you don't feel anything.

In fact, the damage caused by ESD can be more insidious when it is not noticeable. This is because when ESD is felt, individuals are more likely to take precautions to prevent it from happening again. However, when ESD is not felt, individuals may not even be aware that damage has occurred, leading to potential failures or malfunctions down the line.

I would advise anyone working electronics in any capacity, it's important to keep ESD in mind, as many sporadic issues are more than likely related to electrostatic discharge in some capacity.
I don't think it's classical high-voltage ESD reaching the monitor; it's RFI generating enough voltage to mess with the HDMI signal. Voltages generated by RFI will be relatively low compared to direct ESD.
I find myself extremely doubtful that the second group actually exists in any numbers big enough to matter for anything.
Love that! I want to setup a little thermal printer connected to an endpoint too. Any tips on how to do this the easiest way? are there any prebuilt solutions, or kits?
The knowledge and experience you gain from those types of projects could pay for itself several times over in the future.

Reminds me of when I was getting into woodworking and my wife wanted a new coffee table.

Why would we go buy coffee table when I could build it in a month and have it cost 3 times as much?

"Anything's fine" is a denial of there being things that you don't want.

But we understand, as humans/embodied systems, that this is a simply a spoken utterance whose actually meaning must be derived from personal knowledge of the speaker and/or further interaction.

If you had no preference for the meal, but had things that you don't want to eat, then to be precsely correct you would not say "anything's fine". Something more like "there's nothing in particular that I want to eat".

People don't speak in precisely correct ways, however, and we rely on contextual and personal knowledge to decode what they do say, very often.

It's by no means perfect. For one thing if I have a choice of 0.78 ROC based on 40 days worth of data and 0.77 based on 10 days worth of data I'd take the later because I know the later one adjusts more quickly to my changing preferences. Also my selection algorithm breaks up the input into (say) 20 clusters and shows me the (say) 15 top results in each cluster and I know I like the results from that better than if I just take the highest ranking results.

Not eliciting sympathy or anything - I've been in this country since the age of 12, but don't qualify for a green card since I turned 21 before my parents could get theirs. Even that's fine. I've been here for 14 years, I went to school here, I worked hard to get a job and be where I'm today.

However, I got screwed on the H-1B lottery these last 3 years (when over 50% of the applications are fraud, what else can you say). I wake up every day to face the rather realistic prospect of leaving everything behind - my family, my girlfriend of 3-4 years (who happens to be from a different country herself), my pet dog, my entire social network, my professional career/network.

I know I'm not entitled to being here, but I'm frightened at the prospect of returning to a country where I cannot speak the local language or understand the local working culture. I just don't know any other place in the world better than I know the United States.

I love this country from the bottom of my heart for everything it's given me in my life, and it hurts to see that nothing has changed, and seems like nothing will. I've paid my taxes dutifully, and I'll be willing to give back in any way, shape or form. But I don't get to make that choice :')
Well, most of the examples of the paper are examples where I agree they're linguistically ambiguous so I'm not sure what I'm talking about is so different. The John and Anna example comes from the paper. Maybe I'm being harsh because really only one of the examples in the paper is not an example of ambiguity, but the connection to politics is how they choose to justify why their work is useful so it's fair to call that out given there are only three such examples to begin with.

If someone wants to show how to use LLM to make news less biased or auto-delete mud-slinging or hidden meanings or whatever then great. I'd be super interested in that, because I think LLMs give us the tools to radically reimagine news and political reporting, but for better or worse it's not this study.
I mean, presumably we have more than just the FBI to address nation states' hackers so I'm not sure what the comparison here is meant to convey. What percentage of our gigantic military budget is already allocated to address this?

This is close to what I've always wanted to build; a camera watching the road next to me that records the speed of the vehicle traveling by. I should have everything needed from a simple camera setup, but I've not bothered actually doing it.

Since you have speed, I should dig into this.
There’s no animation built-in currently. But it’s fast enough that you can often just throw away and re-render the Plot (i.e. handle the animation externally).

Mike Freeman made a helper function that adds that sort of animation (data gradually coming in) using D3 atop Plot: https://observablehq.com/@mkfreeman/plot-animation

You could upvote this incremental rendering issue: https://github.com/observablehq/plot/issues/328

Or this one for adding a “time channel” to do data-driven animation (for which there’s an old draft PR): https://github.com/observablehq/plot/issues/166

I think if it's long standing friendships there's certainly more wiggle room. Even to the point that you ought to just be able to tell them to let you know if they feel you're being obnoxious about it.

But often it's also not even amounts, as long as it's reasonably discreet and you create a plausible excuse for why you're paying, and there's a sense of back and forth. With friends or girlfriends I know earn less, I've usually made a point of saying that when I choose or suggest where to invite someone, I prefer to pay and I'd appreciate if they let me, and if they insist on paying for something they can pay for things when they choose the venue. There's a tacit "because that lets each of us pick somewhere that fits our cost level" in it that remains unstated, and the give and take helps make it feel more even as long as it's not too blatant and in your face and you never make a point of how expensive anything you pick is. It also works best if you also pick cheap places sometimes.
Are you kidding. I LOVE being alone. Guess what I am doing on Friday night. Can't figure it out? The answer is: whatever I want!

Ask HN: Software licence that is free until you earn money
Hi,

Would this idea ever work?

The code is open source but you are required to pay an amount of money if you earn money using the software.

The price can be scaled, as a percentage and has a maximum cap price.

Would you use software licenced with this manner?
There is a similar but less restrictive exemption in Europe, specifically aimed at permitting interoperability.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A...

On the other hand, it contains some traps that can be used to put some limits back in, such as the last lines here: (emphasis mine)

"(15) The unauthorised reproduction, translation, adaptation or transformation of the form of the code in which a copy of a computer program has been made available constitutes an infringement of the exclusive rights of the author. Nevertheless, circumstances may exist when such a reproduction of the code and translation of its form are indispensable to obtain the necessary information to achieve the interoperability of an independently created program with other programs. It has therefore to be considered that, in these limited circumstances only, performance of the acts of reproduction and translation by or on behalf of a person having a right to use a copy of the program is legitimate and compatible with fair practice and must therefore be deemed not to require the authorisation of the rightholder. An objective of this exception is to make it possible to connect all components of a computer system, including those of different manufacturers, so that they can work together. Such an exception to the author's exclusive rights may not be used in a way which prejudices the legitimate interests of the rightholder or which conflicts with a normal exploitation of the program."

I seem to remember that this was done for producing eggs, and consumers were horrified?
Yeah, but this is one of the flaws of the study methodology. Many of the sentences being given to the LLM to classify aren't really meaningful on their own so the LLM/human labeler then invents some secondary assumed meanings that aren't strictly speaking there. It's totally understandable why they do that but then it makes it hard to interpret the results.
The results can be verified but it'll take time if it's not prepared like this. The first days after such a detonation would be very heated and hard facts would be very welcome to avoid escalation.

Also, nothing is stopping other parties from doing the same. Leading to additional verification.

PS I don't think Nord Stream was the US. It's just one of the many conspiracy theories floating around.

I agree with the OSINT guy that the NS2 explosion was accidental and the others were triggered deliberately as a result. He provided a lot of verifiable information.

Every single country deciding for itself what is truth & demanding any other view be taken down. That's where this is headed.

Nations don't have sovereignty over the whole internet. If your citizens connect overseas/afar, your national rights don't come with them. It's an impossible conflicting mess to imagine otherwise, impossible.

The nations keep making fools of themselves & further making the bombastic Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace look more and more realistic & just. Brazil here is making a fairly early start in sliding down the slippery slope to madness, in proving how badly the international order needs to figure out what constraints there are to lawmaking.

Brazil has a particularly exciting take that grants themselves the right to bypass content moderation at will. It's of the new trendy right wing view that compelled speech is required, that it hasn't been fair to some politicians that their speech keeps getting marked as hate speech or inciting. Seeing Brazil here following this radical compelled speech agenda isnt that surprising alas but it is certainly alarming; telling society we aren't even allowed to not-hear things generally considered untenably indecent & harmful- that we have to be subject to whatever poltiicial voices want to say- is some wild 1984 force-think.

There's a lot of serious fascism growing, when governments get to say not just what can & can't be said but also dictates what must be said.

Climate control is only one aspect of energy usage. Another is light.

I was expecting an article about how to spend money on your friends so they don't feel like you're going to ask them favours in return.

Turns out the article is not about this at all. But.

Dammit, I can likely afford to take some friends to a (local) restaurant and pay the whole bill, no questions asked about contents of those fancy drinks. I'm very unlikely to have time or skill to cook for 14 myself. I would go to a restaurant with someone after making sure that them volunteering to pay the bill is not a "yes, but actually no". If someone invited me to a home party I would certainly feel more than obligated to participate in bringing in produce, booze, and sharing the labour of preparing the food and cleaning up after.

I can afford to rent some place to escape, but owning a whole cottage on the cape? Are you saying it's better to own a cottage just so that invitation is not awkward for you? I can't wrap my head around the concept. I would surely be curious about the costs of having such a thing.

The whole feel of the piece is incredibly first world to me. The author (and their friends) seem like people who would smirk at you if you only had one yacht, or if your golf course was too small. Book a hotel, and it's awkward. Just buy a cottage instead.

I use this to store IP addresses in a database because you can operate on numbers (e.g. WHERE subnet_start < $thisip < subnet_end) but hardly on the unique dotted format that we normally display them as.

Also to specify a bind address when I don't care, like running `php -S 0:3000` (the silly thing wants a bind address rather than only a port number. There, have one!) or accessing localhost in a browser (just typing 0:3000 is enough). For 127.0.0.1, unfortunately the best you can do is writing 127.1. The numeric, hex, and octal variants are 2130706433, 0x7f000001, and 017700000001, which I personally don't find preferable to 127.1.
I completely agree with you. The only way this isn't true is if progress ceases because of some kind of socioeconomic catastrophy. We have already gotten over whatever hurdles there were that made supernnormal AI capability look potentially intractable.

I don't think your comparisons to civilization butressing inventions like fire and writing and language (the last, to be fair, is an evolutionary invention, not a cultural one) are unfair or exagerrated. Things are about to get very strange in short order.
That’s not true. A lot of it is applicable, and a lot of lab grown meat comes from lab grown organ growing (an active area of research). From the process of initiating stem cell differentiation and growth to the creation of the scaffolding matrices, the difference between growing lab meat and growing, say, a heart, isn’t wildly divergent. The heart has more precision in its structure and function, but the material and processes are very similar. Other organs are more complex for certain. I’d note that people with injuries or burns also benefit from being able to grow muscles (aka meat) as well as skin.
