I have some (hopefully) constructive criticism.

I looked into your product, but needed a monitoring solution, not a hobby project. I ended up paying a bit over $1000 for a (more capable) ambient weather solution, which meets the requirements in your blog post (with the possible exception of repairability).

Anyway, I’d have paid about 2x your pre-soldered kit price for a thing that came pre-assembled, with software preloaded, and an idiot proof way to publish the results to local devices and/or cloud services.

I am comfortable with soldering irons, writing embedded software, etc. However, I have plenty of money, but no time. I’m sure you could make large margins off of people like me, and plow it back into additional products.

Best of luck! You’re doing cool stuff!
My experience is completely different from yours, lots f American companies paying 300k+ for seniors in Vancouver

Right material for the right application.

Just because it works under tension in an aircraft or even a cylinder of compressed gas, doesn’t mean it will work when the pressure is applied from the outside of the vessel.

It’s the opposite of plain concrete for instance, which has got compressive strength but doesn’t do as well for tension.

I understand just saying the words “carbon fiber” it feels like we live in the future but that’s the difference between marketing and engineering.
The Mac Pro almost seems like a product that Apple didn't care about, but had to announce by WWDC to save face in their transition schedule to Apple Silicon.

I can visualize what could have happened 6 months before WWDC:

Tim Cook: So, where are we on the Mac Pro transition?

Hardware team: We've got nothing.

Tim Cook: We need to launch. What's the quickest way we can launch a Mac Pro by WWDC?

Hardware team: I guess we could slap an M2 Ultra on the motherboard of the last Mac Pro and call it a day.

Tim Cook: Excellent. Let's do it.
Fluid is a Latin root, so why not "fluidostat" on the model of "aerostat"?
Me personally? Because I don't know how.

You? I have absolutely no idea why you did not do this and I wish you would! It'd be even better if you could make some kind of "Astronomy.com's RSS feed -> yieldcrv's midjourney prompt" but one step at a time.
OpenAI Sued for Theft of Private Data in ‘AI Arms Race’

You're right and the people who will pay need PCIe slots for high end stuff like

Depends on what you mean by "biology". Maybe some traditional naturalist-style data about where butterfly species were spotted or something like that could just be a spreadsheet, but in more modern biology studies things like RNA-Seq are used, which generate gigabytes or even terabytes of data per paper.

But if you don't know a certain amount about a subject already you won't know when it's lying to you. That would probably be the case here.
Yes unfortunately EV's will not be able to be heavily modified by engineering teams for impractically long cargoless scooter trips at 40mph. Such a shame they will only be useful for virtually all practical trips.
I think comprehensions make a little bit more sense in the Erlang world than in the Elixir one, just because of the more functional style. Still, I don't think there's anything wrong with them in Elixir either; just a bit odd in context, like a nice wood-grain-veneer MP3 player.
That being said and all, who knows what people could learn from say... the equivalent of the ashtrays, doorknobs, toilets (etc) in hypothetical alien vehicle(s).

Wouldn't have to be the biggest challenges getting solved right away. Alien "mundane, old crap" would probably turn out pretty useful too. :D
Maybe it’s your privilege speaking ? Go to any country in development and talk with people
Another explanation that I’ve seen that isn’t religious or alien related made me reconsider my view of them. Perhaps, these people had the tools and knowledge to make crude hot air balloons. A little out there but if they got up some height they could easily survey the land and lay out a design. From there if the designs purpose was in their society is another topic that if to speculation and deduction based on cultural remains.
Literally all you can eat is probably more than most people would pay given that it wouldn't be that hard to hit $1000/year with a large handful of top news sources plus some specialty providers. NYT/New Yorker/Economist/Atlantic/some more political mags/some recreational sports/etc.

And as has been discussed for more than a couple decades, people mostly aren't willing to pay the mental transaction costs for micropayments at a sustainable level.

Some of it is probably the news/magazine businesses' fault in that they opened up the floodgates for free content during dot-com. But people wouldn't have liked the alternative either which was probably draconian paywalls and lawsuits over unauthorized content access.
Really hope they produce something other than blurry videos with 8bit shadows(tall green man), blurry standard disc looking flying object, again on 70s vhs quality, and “riveting” interviews of space alien tech recoveries. It’s been a clown show so far this century.
Doesn’t just the idea of a craft - that’s either FTL or teleports - reaching Earth and them having engine trouble, seem a little silly?
Also, a year at university when you have good health habits will result in much more learning than a year when you have poor habits.
Would something like this be fundamentally incompatible with Apple’s shared memory architecture though?
This article confirms what some friends and I thought right at the time of announcement. You’re paying $3000 for some PCIe slots. And as others have pointed out, there’s very little demand for those slots.

It seemed like a given (to me, at least) that a new Mac Pro would have:

1. Slots
2. Storage expansion
3. The most CPU & GPU cores available in a Mac
4. DDR5 expansion, in addition to the SoC RAM

In fact, we got #1 and a little bit of #2 (two SATA ports). #3 is a miss, since the Studio offers the same configuration. #4 seems like the biggest miss of all.

Overall it just seems like a pointless machine. The number of use cases where a Mac Studio + TB4 enclosure(s) won’t do can’t possibly be large enough to justify keeping it in the lineup.

> No, “some customers are experiencing 1,000 speedup”, even if true, does not imply that, in general, your db offering is 1,000 faster.

When you put a giant memory based parallel query engine in front, it's definitely possible to be 1000x faster :).

Heatwave adds a cluster of memory based columnar storage to MySQL. It's not your typical disk based query.
Sorry to disappoint you.

Watching some 68 stable millisecond pulsars for pulse-delays over a long time let the NANOGrav collaboration spot quite a lot of gravitational radiation from heavy bodies (heavy as in billions of solar masses each) in mutual orbits lasting months to years.

LIGO, Virgo, and Kagra are sensitive to much quicker mutual orbits, where a single orbit is a fraction of a second. This also implies a much lower maximum mass for the bodies, somewhere between about 2 and 30 solar masses. A pair of bodies of lower mass can have a quicker orbit; heavier bodies will collide and merge instead.

> sail or surf

The sources of the type of gravitational radiation NANOGrav (and other pulsar timing array collaborations like CPTA, EPTA and PPTA) is sensitive to are scattered randomly across the sky at random distances and with orbits in random orientations. There is unlikely to be a directional bias in our part of the universe.

The results are close to what everyone expected, although there may be support for a greater than expected count of supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries. Binarization channels -- the ways in which a pair of initially-separated SMBHs go into ~months-long orbits with one another will get more study. This is of particular use in understanding the formation and merger of galaxies.

Ultimately this is a mostly confirmation of 3-spacelike+1-timelike dimension General Relativity as a good theory for our universe at the largest scales. "Hyperspace lanes" have more dimensions right in the name, so I guess the NANOGrav 15-year study results seem to leave them in the land of fantasy.

At best, one can imagine a variety of non-prosaic explanations for the unexpectedly high count of gravitational waves could mean sources other than SMBHs (some early universe phase transitions, that our spacetime has topological defects, unexpected action during cosmic inflation). None of that really invites realistic thinking about "sailing" or "surfing" any more than a random scattering of SMBH binaries. The prosaic explanation for the unexpectedly large number of SMBH-like signals is simply that black holes tended grow large in dustier regions than expected.

Finally, for the most part (i.e., in not-very-dusty regions of space) light waves and gravitational waves move at the same speed, so at first glance it doesn't seem likely that gravitational waves would help one with FTL travel.
I’m pretty positive those are being fast tracked as well

If a test goes from “flaky” to “never succeeds,” I absolutely want to fail builds. To me it seems pretty common for large integration tests to be flaky, and I don’t know that it’s always feasible to avoid without mocking so much that the test becomes meaningless.
It seems like he was comparing an in-memory columnar datastore to a disk-based row-oriented database for OLAP workloads. So it certainly falls in the "used something in a way it's not meant to be used" bucket, and maybe also in the "very weird edge case" bucket if the implication is that a big company is going to keep a material chunk of its analytics data in RAM.
Meanwhile, Judy Faulkner holds hostage most American's healthcare data, in some sort of proprietary DB. I am guessing the extortion on her side of aisle is worse.

Rust belongs to a small collection of languages that can run code with minimal latency, and on hardware directly, ie without an OS. (Others are C, C++, Zig, and ADA).

Rust can be argued to be a nice addition to the group. You can view it as "The nicest (in some qualities) in a niche". Nim doesn't have this sort of edge.
How far we've come from GPT2...
Yeah, there are a few from Sonnet and other Mac-oriented companies. I guess that's what Avid and Pro Tools users were using from 2013-2019.

>Raising a bunch of money just isn't a "good" announcement to most of us

Speak for yourself. Announcements of adequate funding inspires confidence fly will have longevity and resources to scale. Other concerns can be tackled in other blog posts, but nothing about the announcement of funding should inspire less confidence, what sense does that make?
Oracle claims it works for both OLTP and OLAP.

I mean on the fundamentals Heatwave adds a giant memory cache / query engine in front. That alone makes it faster than anything disk based.

As to Redshift, yes, they claim it's faster than Redshift too by quite a bit.

(I use claim as it's against the ToS to benchmark it independently)
Yeah, it makes no sense.
Hmm maybe pursuing a Technical Artist role isn't such a good idea after all.

I've been using it (including writing unit files etc) since archlinux adopted it, so over 10 years now.

I still don't like it.

The binary interface to logs is a good example, not only for the popular dislike for needing to run a binary to view the log, but also, central to my dislike, is the issue with the "init" system being in charge of logging at all.

systemd if far far beyond an "init" system, it is striving to be the "kernel" of user space, in charge of all system functions that are not in the kernel.

This isn't feature creep, it's by design. Is the "init" system in charge of network name resolution? What about making fundamental configuration setting to the OS? Another example of the binary required to access logs, is any change to a non-running root filesystem. If you've configured a rootfs for a machine other than the one you're doing this work on (maybe a different CPU architecture, or simply a rootfs for another machine) you're going to run into complications. Same situation when in a chroot. If the rootfs you're configuring, isn't the one currently active, those binary executables are going to havee trouble.

As soon as we have systemd-packagemanagerd, there will be 0 difference between systemd based distributions. Everyone will simply put the kernel together w/ systemd for a complete operating system. This was Red Hat's intention, now IBM's intention.

I use linux for my work, both in embedded targets and in my development workstation. For many years I've simply copied my home dir to new computers and moved on. The next time I configure a workstation from scratch, I'm going to voidlinux. runit, based on The DJB Way, is much closer to my ideal...
More DDR5 is tricky, as the SoC very much depends on the packaged RAM. The M chips physically don't support it.

I wonder how powering it would work? It would need a separate PSU.
Yes, they're exempt.
It doesn't surprise me in the slightest. As a long time designer/developer (but mostly developer,) I couldn't even ballpark how many haughty oblivious decrees I've heard from other developers that entirely disregard non-dev skillsets, especially in the creative fields. When working in a design role, developers consistently assume greater knowledge of my specific work, and my field in general, than most other designers do. It's infuriating. Dunning-Kruger at its finest.

The worst part about that phenomenon in online fora is the scores of equally oblivious people itching to click that reply link and confidently back up the first ignorant comment with their equally uninformed suppositions presented as fact. I wonder how they'd react if Joe from sales interrupted them at every meeting confidently declaring that they were doing their jobs wrong, "backing it up" with assumptions and misgivings that any developer could instantly identify? I wonder how they'd react if after calling him out, he justified it by saying he should know because he's worked with developers for years?

That is why designers don't contribute to open source projects.

So, Infiniband then. It's not like they're the only ones using it, nor the only ones using it at scale.

> Did not ever have any problems in Calgary, Vancouver, or Edmonton; can't speak to the eastern parts of the country. Care will also be different if you're in a big city, 2nd tier city, or small town, and often not in the ways that you think.

No problems for me either in the prairies or Vancouver. Hell, I was in Vancouver two years and found myself a doctor _twice_ in that time, requiring exactly two phone calls. No idea what everyone was bitching about.

Then I moved to Ontario (not Toronto). Heard the same complaints I’d heard for years and gave them little credence.

Yeah it’s impossible to find a doctor out here. My “family doctor” managing chronic conditions is the telehealth doctor. Even the walk in clinics have all gone patients/appointment only and every one I’ve called has stopped maintaining a waitlist at all because it was uselessly long (tried clinics in the city, in and around our small town over an hour away, and basically everywhere else). Some of the hospitals haven’t been able to keep their ERs open 24 hours. Which is unfortunate because any medical care we need that can’t be handled over a video chat a week from now is basically a visit to the ER at this point.

Then we keep electing the government whose solution is to continue to mismanage the entire system towards privatization and implementing a provincially managed waitlist. I’ve been on it a couple of years now. I’ve talked to other people that have been on it over five years. They send me a letter every six months asking me to let them know if I’ve managed to find a doctor so they can remove me and my daughter from the list.
I'm sorry to hear about your brothers passing. That he lived so many years with a mechanical heart valve is very comforting and these were done when the technology was in it's infancy. The first valve he had was probably a caged ball valve, and they are indeed known for being very noisy, mine should be much quieter thankfully.
Sounds like a horrible contract your friend signed. I too have a similar friend who plays many local gigs when in town.
> Sony says 1 million PlayStation gamers play nothing but Call of Duty. My colleague Sean Hollister has analyzed the document, and it appears to show:

> In 2021, over [14?] million users (by device) spent 30 percent or more of their time playing Call of Duty, over 6 million users spent more than 70% of their time on Call of Duty, and about 1 million users spent 100% of their gaming time on Call of Duty

It certainly helps that the game hit 250GB+ even back in the MW2 days, such that you basically have to empty everything else off your console to keep MW2 on it.

Nice little perverse incentive to not care about disk space/not properly implement the ability to take singleplayer off (you can take multiplayer off though! in... COD... meaning it's single-player-only COD...)
I never knew the scale either. But the book says gasoline has a specific gravity of 0.7. So 100 tons will make roughly 30 tons of buoyancy. The negatively buoyant craft is 50 tons so combined with the air inside that is probably the displacement required to make it positive
This sounds more like an attack on the AWS hardware (Nitro?) . Does Nitro not have RDMA? I'm very curious if someone can discuss this. (Currently studying for AWS Solutions architect exam)

That's so, so wrong.

Be sure to tell Hyundai, Samsung, and LG that their government killed them.
"Things were actually never good" headlines are such tiresome gaslighting.
That assumes is a goal in its own sake. I’m making an argument that productivity is a means to an end, not an end itself. It’s similar to the alignment problem of AI.

Put differently, do you think a lower quality of life is a worthwhile tradeoff if it raises productivity? What about the inverse?
Apple News Plus almost sort-of makes sense as part of a broader package that lumps a decent, though far from comprehensive news bundle in as part of a broader subscription offering. (Sort of like Prime though Prime doesn't have news, in that enough people just have to find one or two components they value.)

But, as you say, it really hasn't taken off. A few news pubs that apparently are doing OK aside, people are an endless font of excuses about why they won't pay (or they just don't) even though many people routinely subscribed to a newspaper and a bunch of magazines.
IIRC the actual limitation was the M1 only allows mapping PCIE as Device-nGnRE and that precludes eGPU/video cards. Using Linux doesn’t change this behavior.

Depends on what you consider a "protocol". Morse code dates back to 1844 and is still in use. Hellschreiber is from the 1920s, still in use by some hams. You can downlink slow scan TV (1957) images from the ISS sometimes. Except for Morse code, a lot of the older protocols used by hams are mostly for novelty, legacy, and price reasons as they can be cheaply implemented into just about any computer ever made. Morse code still has use in the military as a backup system for long range communications.
Vietnam was a military loss.

If you have control of an area and mismanage it for years, that's not a military loss. Failure at that point is something different.

Brilliant analogy. I find myself increasingly supporting small teams or indie devs. Why? Because it serves me well. Some things are way too complex for small teams to execute (or so I believe), so I will continue to rely on corps to supply me phones, computers, cars and such. But I loathe it.

If you understood the system you’d understand how that makes as much sense as saying “the iPhone has cameras that means they will be able to see everything you’re doing!”

Domain-specific accelerators have always had their own memory. Look at GPUs. I don't see why a power user who needs speed would be put off by some DMA.
