Bought one of these for work (HIKmicro, 160x120/19200pixel) for ~$300. It works, it's quite good compared to any thermal camera I played with 5+ years ago (even the fancy ones).

It's important to note that camera sensor tech has been advancing quite rapidly these past two decades.
The article represents conventional wisdom among dietitians and scientists and so forth. It is true that overconsumption of processed meats and red meats and poor carbohydrate quality does lead to an increase in weight being overweight etc, especially weight over the stomach.. if you have a fat stomach you have insulin resistance and it decreases output from the pancreas.. this causes high blood sugar..

Now however, once you get fat and specially fat over the stomach then even high quality carbohydrates can cause high blood sugar which is the definition of diabetes.. so what happens is that low quality carbs plus processed meat leads to being overweight and having a fat stomach, which causes insulin resistance and decreased output from the pancreas.. once you get in this condition however adding whole grains does not help at that point, in fact it adds to your high blood sugar and in fact eating high quality grains at that point, once you have a fat stomach, leads to high blood sugar which is the definition of diabetes

...
In other words, once you have fat over the stomach in great quantities, if you eat whole grains, fruits and beans and so forth at that point, that will cause diabetes, diabetes being high blood sugar.. you want to eat the high quality carbs, fruit, and beans before you get fat.. if you eat it after you get fat you will develop diabetes because high quality carbs, fruit, beans etc will give you high blood sugar if you have fat over the stomach

Burnout that occurs outside of work isn't talked about enough, maybe because it's mainly restricted to a certain kind of individual in specific kinds of fields like programming.

Programming itself can lead to burnout because it provides a promise of infinite possibilities, and some of us get fooled into thinking we are equally as capable as the code itself. This leads to time that could otherwise be spent getting in touch with our humanity instead being spent on countless side projects, many of which we secretly hope will lead to wealth and prestige. Virtually all of those projects will fail or reach a dead end; that may not seem like a big deal in your early 20s, but the realization of repeated failure and time spent in relative solitude can take it's toll once you hit your 30s. The burnout feeling occurs, not because you are doing anything functionally different from when you were addicted to code, but because the novelty eventually fades and it becomes clear how short life is. Worse yet, you may have nothing to show for all your effort. One may even have had their social skills atrophy. Burnout can have physiological components, but most of it is mental. The negative effects of having a passion for code may lead to a sense of worthlessness. Feeling like you are as insignificant as a smudge of excrement on a piece of tissue surging out to sea can be pretty demotivating.
Hi there,

I'm working on this tool, it turns your github profile into a readable resume, making a resume sucks (at least for me) then I made it.

Pretty beta but you can see how your resume is gonna look!
Google is just shit.

As my company briefly decided to look into using them for a cloud provider it quickly became apparent that they are just awful stewards of any software that isn’t related to advertisements.

It’s beyond shocking how amateurish GCP is being operated.

My assumption is it comes down to really awful leadership. They only care about making and selling new things. You simply can’t trust that any piece of software or hardware will receive ongoing support, including their cloud offerings.
I like this. It's going to be a great addition when it becomes economical to use LLMs to improve games' realism.

Here's my quick chat with Kratos:

Get in the boat, boy.

> Where are we going?

We're going to find the highest peak in all the realms, so that we can scatter your mother's ashes. Now row, boy.

> Aren't you going to help me row?

I did not ask for your opinion, boy. You need to learn to be stronger and more independent than you currently are. Now row, and do not ask me for help again.

> OK, father. I am going to miss mother.

I know, boy. So will I. But we must be strong. There are many dangers in these realms and we have a long journey ahead of us. Stay focused and stay alert. And remember, boy, emotions are a weakness. We must keep our emotions in check if we are going to survive.

> I still have so much to learn. I want to be strong and wise like you when I grow up

You will, boy. But you must remain disciplined and dedicated. The path to greatness is not an easy one, and it requires sacrifice and hard work. You still have much to learn, but I will teach you everything you need to know.

> Which one is more important, father? Strong body or strong mind?

Both are equally important, boy. A strong body can help you survive in battle and face physical challenges. But a strong mind can help you stay focused, make good decisions, and overcome mental obstacles. To be truly great, you must have both. And that is why you must train every day, both physically and mentally. So keep rowing, boy. We have a long way to go.
> This behavior reproduces with new cables and new iDevices.

Considering that this is almost certainly related to your own personal behavior and/or environment, it isn't surprising that you find it reproducible, albeit a bit odd.

It only charging one way indicates corrosion, probably on the cable itself, but possibly on the female port on the device itself. Burn marks probably means there's a grounding issue somewhere. Neither of them have much anything to do with lightning connectors, unless you suppose that the pins being outward facing rather than inward has something to do with the corrosion.
I once told it I was studying the exam and I wanted to practice and then asked if it could play the roll of ATC for me. It said ok just tell me the airport, aircraft and any scenarios you want to simulate. I told it Teterboro, CRJ, VFR takeoff.

It then proceeded to generate a full transcript of a character named "you" talking to another character named "ATC" going through the entire taxi and takeoff procedure without letting me talk at all.
I’ve played around with the FLIR lepton a good bit and it can be pretty cool. I think the best current hackable platform is the Tcam. It is about an ESP32 combined with a Lepton. Great if you can use the iPhone app or setup a server to interact with it.

https://store.groupgets.com/products/tcam-mini-rev4-wireless...
It still isn't affordable. You can get a phone add-on from FLIR for $180/$200.

This is a great exercise in building stuff for yourself but not affordable at all.

The thousand of dollars cameras you refer to have very high resolutions which are really not the use case for the curious maker that would be interested in such a project.
I agree with that

None of the new languages managed to capture what makes C great

The few "modern" ones are interesting, Zig, Jai and Odin for example, I like how they took C designated initialization to the next level

Zig's comptime is also nice

D is nice, but is loosing its charm now that the competition is here.. also what used to be a D strength now is a weakness; it's slow to compile thanks to the std.. debugging still is a pain, and code can become quite overly verbose
Great to see some competition coming but yeah sounds very clickbaity, it’s comparing the base M2 to what will apparently be the top of the line new AMD chip, instead of comparing it to the M2 max for example.

“
the Ryzen 7 7840U, the initial flagship APU of the new series, apparently offers 9% better 3D rendering performance, 14% better responsiveness, and a whopping 72% better multiprocessing performance than the standard M2

There will be four new chips: the aforementioned Ryzen 7 7840U, the midrange Ryzen 5 7640U and 7540U, and the affordable Ryzen 3 7440U
“

Also they’re not going to win on the marketing front with that naming strategy. Just awful. M1/2 and Pro/Max are so much simpler. It’s like Intel’s naming, such a mess.
I just need a slick UI / Product to adopt AI now. C'mon Duolingo
The most common solution used today is Popper, which essentially takes the relevant element out of the DOM and makes it a fixed element with transforms on body (or any element of your choice) instead. It's used by many large projects such as react-select etc. This is an approach that wouldn't have worked well in the days of old due to delays in updating the UI, but modern browsers are very capable with it and there are no discernible issues with alignment. I agree however that native elements are way better wherever that's a valid option since they also have corresponding native elements on mobile devices etc.
>Proponents of piracy don’t understand that it takes teams of people (each with a family to feed, bills to pay) to build stuff

How incredibly rude. As a small business owner I very personally understand what it takes to pay my bills and feed my family. There is no room in my budget for new games releases, just like there is no room in my budget for a netflix (and sixteen other streaming services') subscription.

The equation really is quite simple -- if a product is good, I will pay for it. If a product is crap -- I will not. If good product is locked behind a shitty delivery system, then I will do without it (ie, not pay) or humor myself by pirating it (ie, still not pay).

A tangentially related anecdote; I used to work for a small IOT company that dealt with some fairly proprietary software & hardware. One day I got an email in my inbox from somebody who had reverse engineered our (closed-source) windows client, and built a generic *nix command line client for the tool. We collectively shrugged, asked the developer if he wouldn't mind us hosting the source code on our corporate website, and what license he wanted to use. End result -- we grew our userbase for that particular device, and could point folks that needed a *nix solution at a source package. tl;dr, moral of the story: don't fuck with hobbyists, even if they're reversing your stuff.
The film critics analogy is not supported indeed, but I consider the rest of the article as brilliant. It reminds me Steve Jobs' interview about building team of A players instead of Bs and Cs. If some manager is OK about hiring Bs and Cs they will persuade the manager that what they did is the best possible way of solving the problem. In my opinion, existence of Bs and Cs in the team eventually causes an idiocracy crisis because typical A does not want to work with not A because of boredow and typical not A does not want to work with As because of hard to show off. Just look at your quotes:

> As a software engineer I can say that in my 20 years of experience none of this is true.

> this obviously false dichotomy of two camps

> the writings of someone who has never actually worked in the field

You are talking neither about needness of the work nor about to falsificate yourself's work nor about to falsificate at least your opinion. You are talking about your-opinion-is-always-true attitude. I don't know what you have defeloped per your 20 years of experience but you are talking exactly like the representative of the 2nd camp who does not consider the work as the most important thing ever. I don't know anything about you but I do not want to work with any person who considers his years as important point - because no C engineer (also scientist, music composer, mathematician) with N years of commercial experience will become at least B just by the matter of years.
I've been desperately unimpressed with ChatGPT in general. Everytime I ask it anything it just returns bland response containing factually incorrect information. The way it can retain context and good a conversion is impressive, but content wise I find it worthless - definitely no threat to a simple Google search.

Is this satire or super-insightful? I feel some sort of Poe's Law of Reality has been creeping in in the last ten-ish years [0]. Like this post is silly and funny, but I find it somewhat plausible too (at least as far as a reductive explanation of the behaviour of a huge corporation can be).

> Having financial stability has allowed me to cut off toxic relationships

If burnout comes from being faced with insoluble problems, always having the possible Gordian solution of traipsing down the hawser line ought to be effective prevention.

Along these lines, I had a VC once who advised: "if you ever find yourself spending 20 minutes in the shower in the morning, it's time to change jobs".
I got the impression that they gimped 3.5 severely over time. Since 4 is still restricted to 25 messages / 3 hours (for paying customers!), I sometimes fall back on 3.5. Of course it's impossible to prove, but it feels like it's failing hilariously at tasks it could do easily a few months ago.

I wonder if more people have this suspicion or if it's just my imagination?
Steam and F2P basically killed piracy for games (and streaming services nuked it for movies) in Russia, for instance, somewhere where I'd estimate 80-98% of everything was pirated. With the current situation there's been a revival of the piracy scene in Russia like it's 2005 all over again.

The idea that the rates of disease increase when screening increases is widely known. Any epidemiologist who tries and analyze data and model disease trends accounts for a number of factors that can impact prevalence - screening rate, screening accuracy, etc.

The number of people with a disease can stay static, but the number of diagnoses can increase dramatically with widespread screening and accurate tests.
"The lattice parsing problem refers to the task of parsing a word lattice, which is a graph structure that represents multiple possible sequences of words that could have generated a given speech signal [1]. The word lattice is a weighted directed acyclic graph, where each node represents a word hypothesis and each edge represents a transition between two words. The weights on the edges represent the likelihood of the transition. The goal of lattice parsing is to find the most likely sequence of words that generated the speech signal, given the word lattice [1]. Lattice parsing is a challenging problem because the word lattice can be very large and contain many alternative paths, making it difficult to find the most likely path efficiently [1]. Several techniques have been proposed to address this problem, including bi-directional LR parsing from an anchor word, augmented chart data structure, and attention shifting for parsing speech [2][3][4]."

It would be pretty interesting if Louis Vuitton items were designed, manufactured, quality controlled, etc entirely by customers who then hand them over to Louis Vuitton to have a logo stamped and have put in a box and sold without any of the proceeds returning to suppliers.

Having said that Shifting the prices to authors with free access for all is generally seen as pretty fair.
Open access publishing has always been expensive and NeuroImage is on the cheaper end and on par with PLOS.

https://plos.org/publish/fees/

Anticipated publication fees get incorporated into grant budgets and in the grand scheme of a grant budget it's a nothingburger.

Some journals are associated with societies (peer reviewed by members and made available to society members for a very discounted rate or free but non-members pay for access). Many of those also are ad-supported, though.
Sometimes that is good. The EU power plug is probably better than the earlier US standard one, but it isn't enough better to switch everything i own to use it. (220 vs 120 volts is an issue that i'll ignore for this discussion). I'm sure engineers could do better than the EU plug, but not enough they would switch.
In summary, the article headline is correct but incomplete:

> My understanding is that the recent law does not allow for compliance by simply labeling possible contaminants. If the recipe does not intentionally include seseme, the product must not list seseme as an ingredient

My mistake. Since 2004, Major food allergens have come with a requirement that manufacturers take steps to avoid cross contamination. The addition of sesame to the list requires it to be treated in the same way.

> and must not contain any seseme.

The manufacturer must follow "current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs)"[0] as described by the FDA. These should already be in place to prevent cross contamination of the existing major allergens.

> So, the insurmountable task is either maintaining completely seseme free manufacturing lines, or cleaning manufacturing lines between recipes to the point of guaranteeing no seseme cross-contamination.

The insurmountable task is to do the same thing they're already required to do to make sure enriched breads, containing milk and eggs, were not cross contaminating merely leavened products or to make sure that wheat flour doesn't contaminate non-wheat products.

> Does it really follow that executives should be jailed for adding seseme to their company recipes?

Yes. Any executive that added sesame to their product in response to this law should be in jail. I'm tired of executives facing no consequences when they intentionally cause harm in their pursuit of profit.

> I imagine many of the companies that made this change were previously voluntarily listing seseme as a possible contaminant, but had to stop because of the law.

Presumably part of the reason sesame was added as a major allergen was because companies weren't doing a great job disclosing it as an ingredient.

I used to like the platform, but it's gotten too greedy with Nitro popups, and not letting you remove your payment options based on certain conditions.

Working for a large international company I use ChatGPT mostly as a code generator for one time tools (for a variety of languages and shells) and also to generate boilerplate text for email answers and document templates. I'm looking at this form a technical perspective and anything that can help my creative side be a bit better is good. A 2023 way of the rubber duck method of debugging, or a 2023 method of generating "manager speak".

We have had strict instructions not to put any code/email/text into ChatGPT, just use it as a virtual person to talk to and get ideas from.

But: the moment ChatGPT v4 can run on-prem in my private cloud things will be going to be wild. One advantage of working in a large multinational is that for everything there is a procedure or a standard. I have 25 years of design documents, source code, test documents, user documents, and a ticket system with 25 years of problems & answers how each ticket was resolved. The moment I can feed that into my local ChatGPT instance the whole helpdesk/support system will dramatically change.
I'm optimistic on the timeline: I think that within the next 2 to 3 years all commercial ticket tracking systems will have their own ChatGPT-like back-end.
