Show HN: Going Contactless with EMG Sensor and Arduino
The armband consists of an EMG sensor, wireless signal transmitter and power source.
It will be worn by the user on his arm where we obtain the signals generated by the biceps/triceps.
We set a threshold value for the signal. Once the arm proceeds to perform a certain action that will cause the electric signals generated by the muscles to exceed the threshold limit.
This will in turn cause the EMG sensor to send a response action function which may be auditory or visually.
Finally, the user will be prompted to avoid any involuntary action that might be harmful.
Sure, to each their own. I quit two years ago and have probably spent a few weeks of that programming.

The place I left gave ICs a high degree of agency, and you run projects yourself, get the resources you need yourself. So the issue was never too much red tape or process. So now doing all that stuff just feels like work again. The programming is ok (just ok) but seriously building something involves all that project stuff. Coordination, setting timelines and milestones, design, testing and on and on.

I think it’s ok to acknowledge that there are other things in life besides programming and software projects, and to therefore move on. I love lots of things!

Sometimes the gum loses flavor. But there’s lots of flavors to try.
Objective-C was not invented at Apple. Hard to see how NIH applies there.
tl;dr I agree with you and think the author mis-assesses the psychology of collecting, too.

I grew up in a family of collectors. By the age of 10 I'd spent countless hours scouring antique shops and shows and flea markets for my items of hyper-focus: metal litho advertising, mostly particularly tobacco cans, because I was working with an allowance and the age of tobacco tins was not long in our past then. I was really introverted, but learned to haggle, to "dicker," before I learned to swim. I spent even more hours in my public library, looking up whatever information I could find about my collection and similar pieces and why some were valuable and others not.

Yes, I kept everything up well. But . . . I only kept collecting. It was almost some kind of mania. Even when I branched into antique yo-yo collecting, it wasn't doing anything for my ability to socialize as a teenager. Collect, collect, collect!

Until my parents got divorced and sold their collections. My brother and I opted to also sell our collections. No coercion - it was a choice: I was an adult by then and my brother was 18 but still finishing high school.

And soon after that, I wasn't looking at everything as a collector anymore, I wasn't trying to put a value on things. I also didn't have a lot of stuff that just took up space. Eureka! I'd discovered some new state of being: collection-free.

I think collecting can be a problem. I think the author misses that in the analysis, too.

> I am not sure though if this is still the case for software engineers. Are there younger engineers, new to the career, for whom programming is not merely a job but something they can imagine doing in their spare time? I think I met a few as I was winding down my career. I do feel though that back around 1988 or so when I started getting serious into programming that all fellow programmers I met were also doing it with a kind of passion. How is it you can love a machine?

As someone who went into software development because it was my passion and my hobby, its always disappointing how often that isn't the case for so many people in this industry. It's draining actually; The lack of enthusiasm and genuine interest is replaced by a clock-in and clock-out mentality. Bootcamps have just become farms for people who need a job, but not those who really want this job.

I want to work with more people who LOVE software and find the development of machines and the code that runs on them as fascinating as I do. Unfortunately, its less and less these days.

Tell HN: ChatGPT is not a Google killer; Phind is
Ever since I found out about phind.com, I have not been googling that much anymore.
I’d fail every time to word it as well as you did. I suffer from a familial dysfunction with “things”. It isn’t hoarding for the sake of hoarding. It’s a complex mix of genetic and socioeconomic nuances of my parents’ upbringing (scarcity of resources), truly knowing the value of things and an inability to throw something broken away that we can fix - yet don’t have the time or willingness to. Along with ADHD (out of sight = out of mind).

Then there’s the part of convenience. The likelihood of hoarding something is directly proportional to how hard is to to get rid of.

Apple hired Chris Lattner straight out of college. LLVM was the subject of his Masters Thesis.

It existed, but certainly wasn't yet ready for prime time. You can watch Chris give a Tech Talk at Google introducing Clang and LLVM and going over the features added in LLVM 2.0 while he was at Apple.

He joined Apple in 2005. and this talk was in 2007.

This guide taught me how to program. I owe my entire career to beej
imo a self contained component are the same as bit and byte.

To me, the draw of programming being that it is both a logical puzzle and a constructive endeavor, brings me a lot of joy to be able to see my stuff work. Whether that's manipulating memory bytes or using a package someone else wrote to do something I want, there's little difference in terms of satisfaction.
This makes intuitive sense, but isn't an idea I'd thought of before. Are there any resources you'd point to as an intro to terminal/CLI/etc UX (especially any that contrast against GUI instincts)?
While we're at it, here's an assessment of many drugs significantly affected by your CYP1a2 genotype: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1742-7843...

I'd recommend checking out your CYP2D6 too. Proper recommendations haven't yet reached the clinic, so if you want personalized medicine then you'll have to educate yourself. Caveat, for dozens of reasons, differing genotypes won't necessarily affect drug pharmacokinetics, even if the metabolic pathway suggests it should.

Liver enzymes are cool.
Is there a way they could have known that?
I use the Panorama plugin with Firefox. It lets me set groups of tabs and switch between them without closing them. It’s a bit like having separate windows but more controlled. I use a different group for each project I’m working on. In a given say I’m usually working on 5 project plus administrative tasks that get their own tab group.
I have an account that I made in 2005 that can't get past the circle of login nonsense even though I can provide verification codes when it emails the "backup account". What's the point of the secondary account if you can't use it to log in?

There are now email addresses of some friends from my youth (before I wised up and stopped letting my Google account hold important data) forever locked away where I can't get to them. I'd probably have to work at Google to have any chance at all of recovering.

Scroogled indeed.
NVIDIA's EULA specifically forbids using consumer GPUs for data-center -like computation purposes. Even if that wasn't an issue, there are a number of issues with both providing power to multiple consumer GPUs and just fitting them into a case/chassis, as they vary in their physical sizes - often being 1.5-2x in width compared to the similar level enterprise GPU.
You don't necessarily know ahead of time if an async or a sequential strategy is better. With colored functions you kind of have to pick ahead of time and hope you picked right or pay a big effort penalty to do a side by side comparison.
What are some new/up and coming programming languages? Where did you find them?
Last week I found Ballerina (https://ballerina.io/) via a comment here on HN, which got me thinking that I've gotten a bit out of touch with newer/up and coming languages in development. My guess is that, if I missed Ballerina before a week ago, I've probably missed quite a bit more.

What have I missed? And it would be cool to see where people are finding these types of things too.

Open your brain-hole for a second.

The parent comment mentioned the disalignment of value and meaning. The now - later time axis is a clear explanation for part-to-most of that disalignment.

Think of prestige jobs that pay less, or unpaid internships. People aren't eager to do those out of the goodness of their hearts - they are trying to bank social capital or experience that will pay off in the future.

Now think of teachers. They are paid less than other jobs for the same qualifications. Why? Part of their salary is paid in meaning, the chance to influence the future through impressionable minds.

How about meaning in terms of artistic messages, religious teachings, or instant epiphanies? Those are the crystallization / compression of wisdom learned over long periods of time.

It's inevitable that Intuit will snuff out the desktop version of Quickbooks. The question is, what will rise up in its place? Will it be QBO or does something else have a shot?

I'm curious what the secret sauce is that Intuit/QB has provided advisors, like yourself, to stay on their platform for the past 20 years. What would it take for another accounting software company to get you, and others in your same situation, to commit to their platform for the next 20 years?
For sure a honorable man. But reading his story playing around with gpt is like reading an old man telling you about buying his first computer and being surprised, that this "electronic device" is capable to deliver proper calculations for questions like 1+1 and (7+2x-6)^34 ...

It's a kind not worthy a smart and curious mind. Like my Grandpa in his latter days.. "what's that Internet everyone is talking about? I want to take a look my self, because everyone is talking about it"
... "Nah, it is astounding, but it isn't for me. I'll pass "

No one wants to force mr Knuth to use LLMs, but if one's use it, or try it, i would expect that the pitfalls and problems are known.

Just like to act surprised when GPT forgets something or delivering some wrongs.. with a temperature of 0.7. Whatever that means. ...

Why is my understanding of GPT so far away from Knuth's? I do not understand GPT but see, we're in the beginning. All old guys argue like there won't be any iteration in development and that's is, and it's not capable to do basics properly. So it's the last shiaaat.
What's an EMR? Where is it stored?
> this same criticism also applies more or less to Kotlin on Android.

i think kotlin has more use outside compared to swift.

But a language has to start somewhere, so i wouldn't hold it against swift. It's a fairly well done language regardless, and nothing apple specific about it tbh (which are all just libraries).
An example is smart contracts on the Corda blockchain, which is programmed in Kotlin. It may be me, but I have seen more Kotlin outside of Android than on it.

None of that contradicts what I’m saying on any meaningful timescales. You’re literally quoting 1-2 decades. That is short term.

And frankly, it’s obvious. Carbon in any form takes up space. If a forest continually sequestered carbon in solid form (in excess of its wood content, which is easy to measure and plateaus VERY quickly!), every forest that was more than a couple decades old would be sitting on top of a layer of carbon hundreds or thousands of feet deep. It would have to be.

Even the healthiest forests are lucky to have a dozen feet of soil with meaningful carbon content, and most of them it’s a couple feet.

There is nowhere else for that carbon to go except the atmosphere.

And eventually - in hundred, or a few cases a thousand or so years - all those trees die due to climate changes or fires, and they’re gone. Back into the atmosphere.
Can you give us a sample Kagi search or two which do significantly better than Google?
Are you sure about your calculation? At $0.20/hr, in 3 months (90*24 hours), you would spend about $432.

And your electricity bill alone would be $100. So you'd be spending $1100 over those 3 months purchasing the card, -vs- spending $432 in the cloud.
To me, it prefixed with just "As an AI, I do not have opinions or favorites. However, I can share with you three notable and commonly appreciated Power Cards from the game "Spirit Island", as it existed until my training data cut-off in September 2021. Remember that the "best" cards can often depend on the specific circumstances in the game, as well as the particular strategy and Spirit you're playing.". But then just shared the cards, nothing about that it was not sure about details. Card selection was decent, but details like resources, powers, and so on were off. But all sounded realistic. Shared an example below if you care.
States without medicaid expansion are very rough. Most people don't realize that ACA plans have a minimum income to qualify. Medicaid was supposed to take over below that income level. If you're in Florida or Texas and are an adult who isn't currently pregnant (or have a legally declared disability), and make less than 150% of the federal poverty limit, there is literally no insurance you can get except paying full retail price for a private plan (which would consume about 1/2 of your income in premiums and deductibles).
Indeed. There's plenty of wife swapping up for grabs in the Bay Area.
Are the first 3 causes dying, aging, and poor health? As soon as you start allowing abstract concepts that contribute to a person's death to count as the cause of a person's death, this stops being an especially meaningful statistic. I'd much rather see a calculation of how many years of life are lost, an actually meaningful metric.
There's an amazing Ansible playbook. Use that, it's great and easy to keep everything up to date.
Most likely nothing, medical expenses are no where near at-cost like they should be. Even assuming that they go up, you can't expect anyone not to "consume" medical care. I'm not going to deny someone treatment because it might cost me a few more pennies or dollars, that would be comically villainous.

The equilibrium would be treating medical care as a public good just like highways or firefighting, but insurance companies and hospital-owning equity firms actively expend resources to prevent that.

An example of what makes this so difficult is the "activity cliffs" often found in drug development: many pairs of apparently similar molecules will have totally different activity against a target protein. These differences can be understood if examined with costly physics-based simulations, but they have so far shown few of the simpler, compressible patterns that make machine learning effective.
The economics of the system are so convoluted I'm not sure if anyone can answer. There is no equilibrium.

But maybe finding the breaking point would push us to untangle the perverse economics of our current system and do what every other developed country in the world does (and spends less money doing, all total)

Accounting work is in many ways similar to a garbage collector in program runtimes (e.g. JVM). Their primary goal is to manage available resources: keeping track of current usage, anticipate future availability and prevent misuse. In that sense, there can be a lot of creativity in the optimization of that process just as software people have from tweaking a piece of code to work better.
CSV, JSON, XML - any plain text format accessible via API would be better than some binary blob you need to download manually.
If that actually becomes a paid service, it must legally bind Google to provide some formal results out of it, or people that paid can now sue Google for something like negligence. Then Google can't conveniently hide all the details about of why accounts got banned when people demand in court. It's a whole can of worm for Google for morsel amount of revenue.

Housing is probably the biggest cause of poverty directly influenced by (existing) policy.

Zoning alone could result in plenty of reduction in inequality among other stuff like reducing NIMBY power.

I'm curious if now that we have a mountain of half empty offices which don't freely compete with residential development if the implications of zoning is even worse than before. Previously the primary argument was low-density suburban zoning acts in conflict to the free market (https://www.amazon.com/Zoned-Out-Jonathan-Levine/dp/19331151...) which besides giant skyscrapers was the only openly tolerated housing development for the past n* decades.

It's nice! I've actually been using it too, it's a convenient way to get access to GPT-4 for free.

That being said, it doesn't really "kill" Google any more than DuckDuckGo did for me. The barrier to making a Phind killer is knee-high too, so I'd expect things to look very different a year from now. The "search engine killer" mindset doesn't make sense to me in the first place, since both feel like they're good at different things. GPT makes something original that may-or-may-not be correct, DDG helps me find that Mega Man voice line that was bugging me all day.

Maybe I can't get hip to the new hotness, but I think there will always be an unpoachable market for indexing factual information. It might even become more valuable in an age of AI-generated content.
