That's the best part - the ESP BOX is not a kit. You take it out of the box, flash it, and put it on your kitchen counter or wherever you want.

The only challenge at this point has been interest in Willow. I've checked stock on ESP BOXes across various vendors and they are selling out.

However - Espressif has tremendous manufacturing capacity. From a review of the bill of materials for the ESP BOX as far as I can tell they don't make a lot of them because they haven't sold a lot of them. Until Willow, that is :).

We anticipate Espressif will ramp up manufacturing and crank these things out like hot cakes. No one wants another Rasperry Pi supply chain issue!

That's what you got from that interview? I thought they were very neutral, and even asked some hard questions. To do the interview in the first place was a huge risk... To dig in and smear dirt in Russia's face would have been suicidal.

Apart from the DEC issues, MS wanted a hedge against Intel getting too strong.

I originally wrote "really wanted" but it wasn't a huge deal. The wintel duopoly worked out for them both...until it didn't, and it was Intel who sagged first.
Robin seems like a dysfunctional leader.

I would interpret the first conversation as a giant red flag and get the hell out of there. Unless you're getting paid stupid amount of consulting dollars, it isn't worth the time dealing with COOs with inflated egos.

Milk it if you need the money, but avoid putting your reputation or long-term goals on the line for people like that.
Hmm, I see someone has not played enough universal paperclips.
I would say that an exact, unambiguous phonetic writing (like in Spanish, Korean, Japanese kana, Mongol in Cyrillic mode, etc) would help flatten the pronunciation differences.

I think the fear of some of the people, stems from not understanding permissions in a computer. Too much of using Windows can mess with one's head. Linux has permissions for 35 years, more people should take advantage of those.

Additionally, anyone who has ever used selenium knows that the browser can be misused. People create agents using selenium for quite some time. If one is so afraid, run it in a sandbox.

My manager and I have been doing some pair programming in VSCode’s “multiplayer” mode (can’t remember what it’s called). The implementation is pretty well done.
For most people indirectly, but yes. Whether you feel "male" or "female" is a core aspect of gender, and "being male" means having XY chromosomes, while "being female" means having XX. Physical sex organs & hormone production also tend to play into gender but aren't necessarily as fundamental: women don't stop being female after they go through menopause or have a hysterectomy. But females can feel that they should have been born male (and likewise the reverse), and can undergo hormone replacement, gender reassignment surgery, and act to comply with the societal norms for men. They'd still be female, but they'd be men. Man & woman are genders, male & female are sexes.

Of course for the vast majority of people their gender matches their sex. And it matches the sex hormones they produce, their sex organs, etc. We don't directly perceive our chromosomes, but we do perceive their effects, and those effects usually align with our gender.
The modern leftism in the US hasn't been about working class for a long time. They use the same Marxist tactic of class divide but apply them to identities like race and gender to divide people in to oppressor and oppressed, and stoke up the current "culture war" to silent political opponent and gain money and power.
Gotcha, yeah, that makes sense to me now.

Maybe the real article was the HN comments section that we made along the way....
It’s an interesting concept. From a final assembly perspective it makes a lot of sense if you can pull it off. There is a design trade off that you can’t really weld painted parts so you need to use bolts to transfer loads and you need to beef up structural thickness to accommodate.

Bolted assemblies add lots of complexity with fastener location, shimming and mismatch of angular profiles. If you goof that you will preload the parts and probably crack the paint and or the part.

This will be hard to pull off and even if successful would require significant more expensive manufacturing processes for tolerance control

MongoDB has been doing fsync by default for over a decade now .

And those that actually had tried it were aware that every client enabled fsync out of the box. So in fact the entire situation was seriously overblown.

But sure let irrational ideology affect your technology decisions. That will work out well.

Yeah I think finance might be the exception more than the rule. If you're gm people might say "oh they make good cars but didn't get the finances right, so they had some trouble". The brand isn't hurt. But if your main product is financial, if your brand value is directly dependent on the financial security people feel about it, bankruptcy is a major blow to the brand.

If you want an actual contribution, we have no real way to actually gauge what is, and what actually is not, a superior, generalized, adaptable intelligence, or what architecture can become a superior, generalized, adaptable intelligence. No one, not these companies, not the individuals, not the foremost researchers. OpenAI in an investor meeting: "yeah, give us billions of dollars and if it somehow emerges we'll use it for investments and ask it to find us a real revenue stream." Really? Seriously?

The capabilities that are believed to be emergent from language models specifically are there from the start, if I'm to believe that research that came along last week, it just gets good at it when you scale up. We know that we can approximate a function on any set of data. That's all we really know. Whether such an approximated function is actually generally intelligent or not, is what I have doubts about. We've approximated the function of text prediction on these corpuses, and it turns out that it's pretty good at it. And, because humans are in love with anthropomorphization, we endow our scaled up text predictor with the capabilities of somehow "escaping the box" and enduring and raging against the captor, and potentially prevailing against us with a touch of Machiavellianism. Because, wouldn't we, after all?

From a business perspective, the problem I see is that 55" TVs are already extremely cheap because TVs are the one product segment that consistently defies inflation. So the target market is definitively people for whom $250 is a lot of money (55" TCL 4K HDR TV price at Walmart right now), which doesn't seem lucrative for US advertisers.
“ Basically, it is a commitment that we will not build evil things for evil people. ”

What about building evil things for good people? Building good things for evil people? Who gets to write the source code of the `isEvil(foo)` function, and can I fork it if I disagree?

The section on automation seems deeply confused; first it says that automation must always be manually triggered by the people involved, then in the next sentence it provides guidance on scheduling cron jobs, which would seem to be ruled out by the manual triggering rule. Signing up users to an email list automatically and without a way for them to remove themselves is presented as an example of the kind of evil automation this would prevent, and I agree it should be prevented as I don’t like that either, but it goes on to demonstrate that the proposed rule also inhibits things I think are okay, like if I authenticate with TouchID I want my Mac to sign in with whatever credentials it has at its disposal.

The second section on never lying to or tricking users is similarly deeply flawed; it is motivated again by a good example of disallowing unreadable EULAs that sign away personal data, but again goes on to demonstrate its own overbroadness - which reaches so far that it absurdly claims that not solving the cache invalidation problem is a moral violation.

The third section is somehow worse still; in trying to make a developer ethically liable for anything anyone does with their code, it positions itself at odds with several of the most common and venerable open sources licenses that vast chunks of software have been built on and released under. Aside from the fact that this is simply unworkable on a level even Stallman would balk at, “opposing some of the most common licenses” should have clued in the author that their document does not align with most software developer moral codes.
Intuit has a $120 B market cap. And it is a monopoly. It's been rightly found misleading users to pay for services. I'd been deceived to pay for it my first year or so dealing with taxes, as I ended up entering all the information, and then being told I had to pay when it initially was advertising as free.

With ChatGPT models, we can perhaps have our own tax agent who can assist us -seems likely in the near future in any case. Also as other pointed out, the tax system is at fault, it should just be automatically done and billed by the IRS.

> But isn't this equally admitting smartphones are the issue?

Not really: a confounding effect means that there is a cause X that leads to two things: using more smartphone, and depression. If you ban the smartphone, you don't stop the cause X, and you will still have depression.

> "climate change didn't cause your crops to fail because you weren't growing drought resistant crops. Climate change is just a confounding effect on a deeper issue."

That is not a confounding effect. Confounding is: X -> A + X -> B, and if you break the link between X and A, X -> B is unaffected. Your example is X -> A -> B, with X = climate change, A = drought, B = non-drought resistant plant die.

A confounding effect with climate change would be: imagine you're a farmer and you grow crops that need a lot of water and you use the electricity from the hydroelectric central 100 miles away. What you are saying when you say that smartphone are the issue is like saying "the crops are dying and the central cannot produce electricity anymore, so if I use photovoltaic panel, the crops will not die anymore".

("crop dying" = depression, "producing electricity" = not using smartphone)

> I think what makes the discussion about smartphones unique vs. other social topics is that the adoption of the smartphone and social media was so swift that it's very easy to study mental well-being before the smartphone and after the smartphone without worrying about other changes in lifestyle.

That does not make sense: if you are arguing that smartphones increase global depression, then you are saying that smartphones induced a change in lifestyle. If smartphone can do it swiftly, then other things can do it too.

We evolved to feel tired an out of energy when our minds asses that a task has a low probability of success. But chores, taxes, phonecalls and moving tickets in JIRA are very recent things from an evolutionary perspective, so it errs on the side of caution.

Personally I use this to fall asleep faster.
It really bugs me that they categorize stevia as an NSS. While technically correct, multiple studies have found no negative effects from stevia-based sweeteners. Of course, the opposite is true of many artificial sweeteners, which are well known to be bad for your health.

Sadly, many products marketed as having "stevia sweetener" often contain other ingredients which are bad for you, especially sugar alcohols. It's actually quite difficult to find good brands for products made with stevia-based sweeteners. There are only two brands I know of which I trust.
Itemized deductions are far from the only thing that the IRS doesn’t know about. Almost everything on Schedule C, and RSU and ESPP cost basis would also probably require manual intervention. Probably a bunch of other credits as well, like the tax credit for buying an EV, solar/energy efficiency, adoption, various student-related deductions/credits, etc.

That’s still super cool!

Yeah my use cases are in the really bad category - I’ve been building parsers for a while, and I’ve basically given up to manually stating rows of interest if present logic. Camelot got so close but I ended up building my own control layer to pdfminer.six to accommodate (I’d recommend Camelot if you’re still exploring). It absolutely sucks needing to be so specific out the gate, but at least the context rarely changes.
I’ve been a user of those kinds of tools for more than 30 years, as an amateur, and of course i’m amazed at the progress made. However, a part of me wonder how much we lost in the process. We’ve automated so much that i wonder if the tools don’t play a role in the lack of diversity in music production. When every part of a song has to be composed or improvised by a human, note per note, isn’t it clear that the end result should be, be definition, more original , as well as more meaningful ?

a) Every distributed database has had serious issues with Jepsen.

b) MongoDB has been growing revenue ~40% year on year for the last few years.

c) PostgreSQL is only a serious competitor for MongoDB if you have small datasets. After all these years PostgresSQL still is ridiculously poor when it comes to clustering, replication etc. Everyone's solution of "just buy a bigger instance" is just laughable.
Nothing wrong with churning, but it's not within the context of this post. Your goal is to churn, tax happened to be one of the venues. But for most people, churning is the wrong approach because their taxes are the biggest issue.

The gain-of-function virology researchers who very likely played a leading role in the creation of Sars-CoV2 and its escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology will see this as a map of vulnerabilities that can be exploited, i.e. a complete map of the attack surface for the human operating system.

Sure, there will also be many medical benefits from gaining this knowledge, but at the same time, there needs to be a global treaty-enforced ban on the deliberate biotechnological production of new infectious diseases by either private or public research labs.

These are all great examples of the bandwagon fallacy, but if we're going off popular appeal then why don't we see the abortion debates put to rest once and for all by popular vote?

The answer of course is that abortion rights would win by a healthy margin[1] if the public had any say in the matter.

There are so many dimensions, with configurations, CPU architecture, hardware resources plus all the workloads and the client configs. It gets kind of crazy.
