yes, I've been thinking about this too, and I've talked to other people who have had the same fever dream. the children yearn for the dumb terminal.

this isn't a hardware product (people here have mentioned an e-ink tablet that can sideload, that plus a keyboard plus a battery, or ESP32-S3 etc) but rather a software product.

and that software is the glorious resurrection of vt320/vt330 buffered/paged terminals. because that's what's going to minimize your terminal's power consumption. you need to brutally minimize the number of bytes you transmit, which means having relatively small working set for any assist features (eg things like debugging might be nicer with a local variable cache). A large persistent eMMC or flash storage (but optimized for doing some decent writes) might be nice for those things. 32GB or 64GB goes a long way in a dumb-terminal context, you can use that like a portion of your RAM load if you code carefully.

btle can do some active data transmission in realtime and it has the basic "beacon, I'm still here" etc, and you can use the notification-push thing for server-side async ops. And ideally you'd use your phone as a BTLE client that routes packets/data or provides your server-side api. This can be done even on apple with the Bluetooth Browser thingy, your self-hosted website can interact with your BT device and that'll be your relay.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_Low_Energy#Applicati...

in an interactive scenario with an IDE-ish thing and a larger working set maybe you use more power but if you're running a nano/pico clone onboard that's dirt simple and can be done with simple buffer flush etc. And most of the ESP32-S3s come with 8MB of external SRAM.

The other major power draw is the USB, I think you could bring that down a lot with an actual hardware circuit wired right to the ESP32.

Again like, the e-ink tablet with an external KB is simple and lets you get tinkering with the editing experience in that kind of form factor! but I also think you can cut power way below that if you use something like the ESP32-S3 and BTLE with aggressive onboard caching. Don't forget to minimize power in idledown mode, and idledown as aggressively as possible. Running the keyboard as an interrupt-driven thing could cut power a lot if you can idle down between keypresses.
This is so often true. I can think of one notable exception, rocket counter measures[0]. Perhaps there is some inversion, since this is destroy(destroy()).

For some people, building up the business is both a job and an investment. When they get old, they want the business to have enough value that they can sell it and pay for their living expenses during retirement. Or they want to be able to pass the business on to their kids so their kids are set up to make a good living.

If the business's only value is that it can provide full-time employment to someone, then it has worked out as a job but not as an investment.

There's no one right way to do it. You could instead pay yourself a salary, invest the money in other stuff (maybe through IRAs or individual 401k), and just shut down the business when you retire. And for your kids, send them to college and let them find their own careers.

It really depends on why you got into business in the first place. Maybe you just like working that way better. Or maybe you're good enough at it that you think you can get better returns by investing in your own business than you can by buying a stock market index fund.
What is the point of peaceful assembly if not to protest something?

If you're counting peaceful assembly as a tool of democracy, you might as well be saying peaceful protest, of which merely blocking traffic is included, since inconveniencing people is not violent.
I do hardware. I do software. I do computer vision. I built some software that ran on a cellphone used by LEO (law enforcement officers) to determine if the person they are quizzing is inebriated or impaired through controlled substances by examining the person's eyes and having them focus on images displayed on the phone screen. I've done eye tracking using fully custom solutions and also through a few of the off-the-shelf SDKs such as GazeSense from eyeware and a few other SDKs.

The problem is not the eye-tracking, it is reasonably easy to build robust systems that can do that easily enough, even with custom hardware under all sorts of lighting conditions. The hard part is the UX if you are trying to build something that isn't hampered by current UI paradigms.

Rapid typing and menus of custom actions with just eye movement, though fatiguing, shouldn't be hard to solve, and then render the output however you want; text, text to speech, commands issued to an machine, etc. Making a usable user interface to do anything else, that's where the rubber hits the road.

@pg, which software is your friend using? If it is anything like I've looked in to in the past, it's over-priced accessibility crap with a UI straight out of the 1990s.
Assuming a directed graph. At the entry to each negative edge collect all the nodes reachable in 1 extra hop from that edge and compute the total cost. All that have a positive weight, add as edges from the source of the negative edge. If they still have a negative weight, expand further. Once you're done, drop all the negative edges. This essentially replaces every negative edge with a set of 'shortcuts' that encode all the places the negative edge could have gotten you, such that the shortcuts have positive cost. Use regular Dijkstra on the augmented graph.

This obviously has a potentially exponential complexity, though it will work if there isn't too much negativity. It should at least be enough to convince you that preprocessing is possible absent the existence of negative cost loops.
Which editor doesn't have spellcheck or integration with linters?
A very good point. Public and private schools for all of recorded history have countless examples of child abuse.

Kids die with alarming frequency in public schools. In 2022 there was an average of one shooting a week in US public schools.

Even if you decide that the risks are not that high of a kid actually dying, there's a very real chilling effect. There's now paranoia, stress, and an atmosphere of fear. These are not healthy things.
I wonder if this means all the great music we made as a rock band in the 90s without getting signed can get a new audience. It logically should, since pretty much everything in the genre has been some form of theft or reiteration, until everyone forgot that music like that had existed 20 years earlier and suddenly the stars aligned and ripoffs of rip-offs were considered original. (To be fair, we stole everything from the 1960s).

I'd never play the pity card, though. One has to live with oneself, even if most people pretend they don't.
> Why do you think you cannot have the good without the bad?

In theory I think you are right, but I can't recall the last time I saw a busker in a private space like a mall or airport. Maybe the incentive to encourage this is just never strong enough for the owners?
You can’t raise children as if they’re little adults. They don’t have fully developed frontal cortexes until their late 20s: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/the-teen-brain-... (“The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. This area is responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and making good decisions.”).

This is science. The very nature of the human animal is that children must be socialized, rather than merely presented information and allowed to make up their own minds: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8Y8R8Lo/
At least three obvious reasons might be:

(1) Raw scale might mean you just plain can't fit everything on a single t2.2xlarge.

(2) Different services (containers) might have different performance profiles, so you may want a few different types of machines around.

(3) You probably still want N+2 redundancy even within your single AZ, so this scheme should at least be upgraded to three t2.2xlarge boxes. ;)

How the U.S. is stealing the Canadian dream
In real life, you can choose not to associate with the same person or clique 8 hours a day 5 days a week for thirteen years. Worst case scenario would be in a job situation, but here's the thing: you can find a new job. You can't find a new school.

In public school, you can either report the abuse to an authority figure who has little or no ability to actually remedy the situation, or you can... sit there and suffer? Fight back? While outside of it, you have more ways to remedy a bad situation than "just make your abuser respect you."
Ordinary people do that all the time.
> The best case scenario is to be rich enough so you can create a bubble for your kids that lasts from birth all the way to their graves

You don't have to be extra rich for that. Just don't associate, that's the whole point. To avoid a bully it's enough to not go to the same building with him every weekday.

> Because you have the money and possibility of acquiring another job relatively quickly (I suppose, otherwise you would not give up your survival means for such a reason). Not an option for everyone.

Workplace conflicts usually don’t involve assault. Lines are usually drawn by standing your ground, explaining one’s position and taking the chances and picking the battles. If it comes to getting assaulted one better be prepared.

If the manager doesn’t agree one might get fired, or it is time to look for options.

Nothing in life is a must, but there are consequences to everything and one better choose wisely. But then, the ability to make good judgements comes from experience and experience is gained by experiencing the consequences of decisions or choices one has made in the past, including bad ones.

Resigning, from a position of employment, or situations in life in general should not be the first option, at least not without considering the above.

The Russian effort to build 6k attack drones with Iran’s help
This is far more nuance than I remember in public schools. At a young age there is quite a bit of rote memorization of facts. Sure parents can supplement their child’s education, but at the end of the day the child will be forced to adopt the schools viewpoint on certain perspective as the “correct” answer — or suffer in their grades
I agree, eye tracking is going to have really broad applications. I've been interested in eye tracking for over a decade, and in fact built my own eye tracker, joined a startup, and got acquired by Google[1]. But there's way more to do. We've barely scratched the surface of what's possible with eye tracking and I'd love to take a second crack at it.

Why disrespectful?
I do this because it lets me have each video in its own resizeable window, scrub around much more quickly using keyboard/mouse shortcuts, customize many aspects of playback like subtitle styling ,brightness, hue, even flip or rotate the video if I want, set the volume on a per-video basis even >100%, save exactly where I was in a video and how it was set up, not have every video I see a part of show up in my history (even hovering for preview does that now, annoyingly), and install a multitude of plugins to augment the player even further.

Though, I initially did start using mpv for watching videos back in 2014 when I was stuck with a core2duo laptop, and it was the only way of watching 720p or higher video without slowing the machine to a crawl. I'm so used to this setup now that I wouldn't want to go back to having my videos trapped a browser tab. (or an always-on-top firefox popout window)

Abstract:

Recreational cannabis use has recently gained considerable interest as an environmental risk factor that triggers the onset of psychosis. To date, however, the evidence that cannabis is associated with negative outcomes in individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis is inconsistent. The present study tracked cannabis usage over a 2-year period and examined its associations with clinical and neurocognitive outcomes, along with medication rates. CHR youth who continuously used cannabis had higher neurocognition and social functioning over time, and decreased medication usage, relative to non-users. Surprisingly, clinical symptoms improved over time despite the medication decreases.

As a child in a public school, you have no right to freedom of association, and no right to freedom from association. Your school chooses your classes, and the state will use violence to ensure you attend those classes, bully or not.

In home school, there is less people and more choice. There are no perverse incentives that value attendance over education and health.

Very much disagree with this as a fundamental premise. Ownership of land and real estate causes massive, massive, massive problems and ills in our society.

The way a few very very smart ancients figured out how things actually are in the solar system with just trivial observations and feeble measurements makes me realize that is exactly what modern astronomers are doing with the universe.

Thousands of years from now someone will do a presentation on how a few of us "ancients" correctly estimated the distance to other solar systems with such poor instruments and how their modern measurements from actually going there show we were only 10% off!
I have seen your comments elsewhere on HN. It's refreshing to see some like-minded opinions. Do you have any other online presence or some way I might contact you? My email is in my profile here, if you're open to that.
I don't think there's enough public data to make a good comparison on safety. Only the companies and presumably the NTSB have that data.

As you mentioned, an apples-to-apples comparison is hard. The type of driving (urban vs freeway), the location, the weather conditions, even the times of day they drive could all bias accident rates.

It does not require using one's hands to click, it supports various input hardware (keyboard, mouse, switch, etc.). If someone has control of basically any muscle, it can use a switch input. The Vision Pro also has Dwell Control, activating things by keeping your gaze on it long enough, but I don't know whether it can currently be solely operated using nothing but one's eyes.

I did a PhD in brain-computer interfaces, including EEG and implanted electrodes. BCI research to a big extent focuses on helping paralyzed individuals regain communication.

Unfortunately, EEG (including P300) doesn’t provide sufficient signal-to-noise ratio to support good communication speeds outside of the lab with Faraday cages and days/weeks of de-noising including removing eye-movement artifacts in the recordings. This is a physical limit due to attenuation of brain’s electrical fields outside of the skull, which is hard to overcome. For example, all commercial “mind-reading” toys are actually working based off head and eye muscle signals.

Implanted electrodes provide better signal but are many iterations away from becoming viable commercially. Signal degrades over months as the brain builds scar tissue around electrodes and the brain surgery is obviously pretty dangerous. Iteration cycles are very slow because of the need for government approval for testing in humans (for a good reason).

If I wanted to help a paralyzed friend, who could only move his/her eyes, I would definitely focus on the eye-tracking tech. It hands-down beat all BCIs I’ve heard of.
My three partners and I have be developing and selling multi-camera arrays specifically for eye tracking as well as measuring other physiological features for several years now. Our main customers are a couple university research groups, a human factors group in Lockheed, and just recently the US Air Force. In fact we just returned from a trip to Wright-Patterson installing an array in a hypobaric chamber to perform gaze tracker and pupil response for pilots under hypoxic conditions. Phase two will be a custom gaze tracker for their centrifuge. Our main features are accurate eye and face tracking up to a meter from the array, minimal calibration per subject (about 10 seconds staring at a dot), pupil response for measuring fatigue and other things, plus we can adapt the array for the client ranging from a cockpit to a large flat screen TV. We've looked into medical usage such as ALS, but we're bootstrapped based in Iowa and found the military niche as a more direct way to generate cash flow. It's ashame we can't apply this work towards people with medical needs, but we don't have the funds nor the clients to make such a pivot.
But will it impact the sales of GEOS?

This may be one very narrow case (or a more common theme), but at least in this case the thread safety becomes a memory safety concern in golang.
Very interesting article, the shahed drone requires a lot of western electronic components like the Kintex-7 FPGA by Xilinx/AMD.
That's the red flag, the thing you are trying to avoid. You don't want to implement things in each language and you always have more than one language even if you standardize (over time). You don't want libraries, you want services. This is why things like Istio are way better than libraries for mesh networking. Using external services for common things keeps you from being locked into a single tech stack and the limitations that entails.

I do find, however, that solutions to sticky problems pop into my head in the shower, during a long steady run, or after a walk in the park, which I guess is a similar phenomenon.
I suspect if they wanted, Cruise and Waymo could easily have their fleet shuttle back and forth from SF to LA to just rack up miles, but exactly nobody would be impressed. A huge percentage of accidents occur around intersections, and intersections are rare on the longest stretches of road.

I wish it was possible to measure safety as incidents per stops. That is, the number of accidents that occur per number of times the vehicle comes to a full stop. It's not perfect but it gives another good signal.

The level of eye tracking performance for general population interactions is really only possible when you control the illumination like in a VR headset. A Vision Pro might work for the friend in question. More generally this requires the full vr display to make it work. See through AR or just plane glasses will not be nearly as good, and I think that will cap the general acceptance.
