Best course / book to learn coding (2023)?
I’ve been going through the YC start-up school and they continually re-emphasis the point that a startup without a coding founder is unlikely to succeed and will run into many hurdles.

Now, I have a full time job and wanted to do what is most efficient. I’m stuck between a few different options being recommended to me: CS50 courses from Harvard, UCB…, Coding bootcamps, Coursera and other MOOC programming courses and a few different books. I was wondering what would you recommend for someone with no prior knowledge of coding / programming / computer science.

From what I understand, coding bootcamps / courses are more practical but in the grand scheme of things, computer science will allow me to learn the concepts which will prove very helpful for programming. Is that the right way to think about things?
I wondered the same thing and looked a little at the DJI Drone family which seems pretty large and broad in application.

The generic data channels number easily less than 50 - time, X,Y,Z, axis velocity, battery life, yaw, tilt, pitch, etc.

I dare say some of the special domain applications generate more channels of data from mounted instrumentation - all logged to a common DJI family log format - for extraction on landing or broadcast during flight etc.

The 200 channel Vs 300 channel thing is likely just poor copywriting from looking at max channels in two different application areas.

Power2Gas has been a major topic. And the idea that this will become highly relevant in about a decade is behind the idea to allow Gas infrastructure investment as Green in Europe. This means Hydrogen but also synthetic natural gas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-gas

Methanation and methane storage is at the same level as Hydorgen storage in optimal models. This here has 500 citations:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.05290.pdf

They also cite something I haven't personally read, but which goes back all the way to 2009, again with hundreds of citations:

M. Sterner, Bioenergy and renewable power methane in integrated 100%
renewable energy systems, Ph.D. thesis, Kassel University (2009).

Of course as the roundtrip efficiency is better, its preferable to store Hydrogen directly if that is feasible (and this is why a pure electricity sector optimization model will never show methane).

But fundamentally the idea has been for a long time to run Gas power plants on carbon neural gases. This is an explicit point in the EU Taxonomy of labeling Gas investments as green. They can only do so if they retrofitted to running on carbon free gas from 2035 onwards. Siemens is selling their stuff as H2-ready for that exact reason [1].

Pumped hydro can not be meaningfully expanded, its only a small part of the overall solution.

> there are facts that need complicated statistical methods

Like what? There are ideas that need causal reasoning, or trust that it exists behind things you don't fully understand. Statistics, especially anything higher order, end up being basically just rhetoric, outside maybe of some very narrow claims.

If someone tells you you need a bunch or statistics to understand something, they're almost certainly trying to persuade you without having a strong enough logical footing to just explain themselves.

And science isn't a religion or a position, you can't really be for or against it. That should be a starting point.

More than that: not only is it possible to find examples of two "legal rights" making a "wrong", it's impossible to find an atomic legal wrong. Everything can be broken down so far that you are left with actions that are legal when you ignore the context.

If this gets implemented it will be the first step in showing that passkeys are a viable alternative to passwords in a meaningful way.

That is, there is no vendor lock in to multinational corps only interested in their bottom line and selling your data. They aren't tied to a device that can be lost, stolen or broken, or requiring you to have multiple devices just in case; and not tied to biometrics.

Lastly this means there is a proper open source, offline version that is portable across devices, browsers, and ecosystems. Putting the user back in control.

In this analogy, it is the official demanding the bribe who corresponds to a blackmailer, and that is generally a crime. In many cases, a bribe is demanded in order to have done what should be done anyway.

More generally, one cannot, in practice, blackmail someone over a harmless fact. This is so even if no one but the victim regards the fact as having any importance.
‘Tiny’ is relative. FTA: “The team found that the jetlets, each between 1,000 and 3,000 kilometers wide”

Linearly, the sun is about 100 times the size of earth, so at earth scale, these still would be 10 to 30 km in diameter.

Document management systems consist of document processing software that converts the paper-based information to an electronic document form. Such software act as a central point for managing as they rely on digital technology with endless possibilities.
The issue is that we again and again saves banks through central bank saving them.

Central banks intervene in the natural flow of interest rates. Central banks manipulating interest rates have created a housing and startup bubble.

I'm not sure what the advantage the use of a somewhat comprehensive framework like Langchain gives you for this use case?

It starts to feel as AI tech is slowly turning into web tech with a million tools and frameworks, so I'm just wondering whether all of these are needed and if it isn't easier to code your own than learning a foreign framework...

Anhingas.

I was vaguely aware of the term devil bird for Anhingas, but I can't help but assume that they used it in the title to make people think it was some kind of dangerous invasive that was imported. There are standard common names for North American birds. It's not like fish where there's a number of common names depending on the region. If you're writing an article about a bird species and you happen to use the scary-sounding non-standard name for it, I'm going to assume it's intentional to scare people.

Anyway, Anhingas are pretty common further south on the coast and occupy more or less the same niche as cormorants. Fishermen don't like them, but they don't like a lot of birds that eat fish.

Edit: Subject-verb agreement. Forgot how to grammar there. Probably missed something else too.

Is it, though? My impression is that HN opinions on possible copyright issues are generally mixed for both, and mostly dismissive about the job replacement stuff for both.
On platforms that allow overcommitment, you can guarantee your commit charge is physically backed by writing to each page in a memory pool at allocation time (probably at application startup, or at the end of the main loop), then allocating out of that pool.

Using memory that's been allocated but not committed seems like a recipe for disaster.

It's going to take more than one. As an MVP of sorts, start with the Harvard course. As you move through that, start looking for the next one and so on. Eventually you'll know if it's time to slow down or pivot a bit, etc.

There is not a single best path. What's most important is to start walking and adjust as you go.

If one simply gasified wood to run generators, then buried the residual charcoal to make tera preta, every kilowatt used to generate electricity would sequester a significant amount of carbon with minimal change to current infrastructure. One could use it first in disaster relief where there are a lot of downed trees anyway, then move to a fast-growing crop like hemp or bamboo. All that would be needed is more widely available wood gasifiers. Anyone want to invest in a company doing that?
Government entities do start up, relative frequently. Every time a new school district opens, or a new library opens, for example. While the scale is clearly quite different, the basics of handling your governing documents (bureaucracy) are the same.

As an example, my town of about 400 does everything a government needs to, with a handful of people meeting once or twice a month, a website, some email addresses, a few Google docs, and a physical town hall to meet in and hold elections. Don't get me wrong, the people who run the town do put in work, but it is far more simple than the state or federal level.

Before you try to build some new solution, I'd research such simple governments and figure out what the minimum needed to operate really is, and where the limit will be as the size scales. Because while the few large government entities are the most obvious and talked about there are literally tens of thousands of small government entities to look at to fully understand the differences of scale in governments.

Look at: Small towns, Library Districts, School Districts, Sanitation Districts, even HOAs.

As far as I know, the word 'bribery' is defined by the fact that the person you're paying has some duty to someone else. Otherwise it's just normal paying someone for something.
> Mr. Lee runs Layoffs.fyi as a hobby, and he spends money on it. In addition to his time, he estimates that he spends about $200 each month on the cost of its servers. He said he has declined to run ads, though he has been approached.

Good for him. I respect this kind of integrity.

However I'm baffled that this cost $200 to run… One can purchase dedicated server with 32 GB of RAM, 4 TB of disk and unmetered bandwidth can be purchased for ~$50 per month. And I'm pretty sure it will handle much more than the traffic that layoffs.fyi receives.
Not off-topic at all. After struggling with LangChain's hyper-opinionated implementation of classes I agree.

In fact, this is better off leveraging Llamaindex. This is a proof-of-concept and ultimately leveraging a library / framework helps afford the following:

- easy implementation of chunking strategies when you're unsure
- OpenAI helper functions
- embeddings and vector store management

Again, even with the above I struggled and had to implement PGVector myself. Going into production once I have my document retrieval strategy and prompt-tuning optimized, I would never use Langchain in production simply bc of the bloat and inflexible implementation of things like the PGVector class. Also the footprint is massive and the LLM part can be done in 5% of the footprint in Golang and 5% of the cloud costs.

So I actually agree with you :)
>> "but you open-sourced it, surely you must know that people will then put it in their commercial code?"

this is a general problem in open source. And with obfusication in an AI it is just unfair. If AI / codepilot would reference the source in a nice way, then I woundn't mind.

Actually, I'm not even sure your memory is safer. You would have to remember hundreds if not thousands of passwords, including remembering which domain they belong to, as well as to be able to generate unique ones for every new domain you encounter for the rest of your life.

The real 'feature' of webAuth is 3rd party attestation.

When you talk about webAuthn that is what you are talking about in the end. 3rd party attestation. Which in the end will be the end all "privacy respecting" (/s) advertisement profiling tech in the years to come.

Meta: it's kind of eerie to read an article like this that is obviously written by an 'outsider'. Although non of what's written is factually wrong (as far as I can tell, I'm no historian), the specific way certain nuances are skipped over gives it an almost 'uncanny valley' feeling. Part of it is that it's written in English and certain nuances just don't exist (like his mentioning 'Lord of the Netherlands' vs 'de Nederlanden/Nederland', his strange 'Aux quatre vents' translation - yes I know it's correct literally, but it just feels so off compared to the idiomatic meaning), others skip over so much historical and current geo-political context that it seems tone-deaf to sensitivities ('the Dutch Republic (loosely modern Holland)'). I understand that for an article on an historical painter, you cannot go into details like this, what I'm saying is the choice of what the writer considered important and the way he skips over nuance makes it feel very alien.

I guess this phenomenon is well-known by people who are from cultures that are usually written about by outsiders :) but I don't encounter it often and this specific article just evoked this really weird feeling in me. So many instances where I internally reacted with 'WFT is this guy saying' yet no actual factual errors that I can find.

Hmm a thought.

With neural networks it's impossible to actually describe what the network does. Including proving that it has or has not used GPLed code for a certain input/output set.

One could argue that all code output is GPL with the associated restrictions unless said network has provably never been trained on GPLed code.

I fear I may be wasting my time replying, but I'm going to try and understand where you're coming from rather than answer your question about Emacs.

Your complaint comes across very much like moaning that strawberries are not the same as cherries. Quite true, and that is exactly why it's a good thing; I would prefer to have a world with strawberries and cherries. Emacs is different from (e.g.) Visual Studio and that's a good thing. Your complaint seems to be that you want Emacs to resemble something else, okay, and after the terminology matches do you want the key bindings to match as well,? And then what do you want? How close in the end, do you want them to look and behave? And if you want them very close, then just use what you're familiar with already and don't worry about us Emacs users.

ISTM you are trying to turn Emacs into visual studio, if not then please make it clear what precisely you want other than injecting phrases like "barrier to entry". Please be specific.

The biggest barrier to entry for you is yourself; the fact that you're not prepared to try something different.

So please tell me, what exactly do you want Emacs to end up looking like, if not a clone of Visual Studio?
Ah, I somehow added an extra ':', sorry.

>> calling him in favour of a 'fascist model' of society rather than being for free-enterprise.

So they think free enterprise includes unchecked exploitation of vulnerable people. That sounds like a lot of tech companies, from raising drug prices 20x, to Uber and DoorDash, data collection, right to repair issues, most SaaS, centralized "pricing software", DRM, heated seats as a service, etc...

They should keep writing this stuff and get the message out to the public. People will start voting in favor of "free enterprise" for sure.

Freedom to exploit others is a perversion of the word freedom.

Humans make sense of the world with an extremely limited amount of information. I have not read all of GitHub. Comparatively, I have not read a fraction of it. And I could not read all of GitHub even if I wanted to.

However, I do not need to read all of GitHub anyway because, as a human, I am capable of understanding.

Current generation "AI" is not capable of understanding. Current generation "AI" merely computes the probability of any given word appearing next in this sentence based on an utterly absurd amount of raw data.

That is not what humans do at all. We do not need this information. We cannot even process it.
