Every PCB library manager is bananas annoying to deal with. Altium's was no better, IMO. Nor Orcad's.

Library managers for PCB design have all the same pathologies as bug ticketing systems in software development.

My experience is that Alteryx and Informatica serve useful purposes.

And in fact they often don't even overlap with Spark/Airflow e.g. Alteryx is great for running on a local laptop processing Excel files.
Indeed. As a wise man once told me... never trust anyone who says "trust me".
When I was young, we programmed in the debugger all the time! And we liked it!

I think there are too many steps with too many opportunities for failure and too little training data for such a thing to be feasible for the foreseeable future. Almost any small error of the kind that GPTs produce can prevent your board from working or destroy components. Picking the wrong part number or connecting the wrong pins is a hard fail that costs a fair bit of time and money to fix. Softer error like picking the wrong capacitor value for an RC filter or using bad trace routing would be tricky to debug.

Maybe a better approach would be to have an LLM generate RTL code for an FPGA.
IME, pretty much, period, yes.

I didn't provide evidence because I didn't have any except from my experience which I ask you to take at my word, and I'll take you on your word that's something I'm unaware of what can happen to undo the value of well structured code in a way I've not encountered.

Your example is something I understand (though I'm not a Lisp programmer) but I'm certainly not allergic to a few judicious DSLs to clean things up.

Without evidence on either side there's no point continuing this but it was a nice answer, thanks. I wish we could discuss this in person.
Depends on the image. Right now, the very first stage (deprojecting the image to 3D) makes assumptions about the image having the structure of a room: large empty floor plan; roughly polygonal geometry.

For different kinds of images, it's a question of using other cues to build a 3D structure that's very close to the original image. And no, monocular depth estimation isn't enough (happy to nerd out about why) ;)
Kant's categorical imperative is a decent attempt at one.

They both have holes and edge cases though.

I just remembered the Tracepoint feature though (it's been a while since I was working in C++ with visual studio). Even when you can't pause execution to debug it's still better to add your tracing in the debugger rather than having to make code changes.

I was always doing stuff on windows/macOS/iOS/Android client libraries so I was always jealous of linux systems programmers who get to leverage Mozilla's rr tool. That's the coolest debugging tool I've ever seen.
To the best of my knowledge, Wittgenstein lived with Russel for quite some time and was a very influential force in writing the Principa. I believe I saw a lot of prototypes of the modern logical symbols in his Traktatus.

I also believe that Russel traveled to meet Frege in his quest for writing the book. He definitely saw his work even before it was published / had private conversations with him face-to-face. Not sure how much of the invented language made it into Principia, but the author was definitely familiar with Frege's work.
Another example of: you can’t manage what you can’t measure, but be careful what you measure because that’s what you get. Alternately: measuring cost is easy, measuring value is hard. So we don’t hire another dev because that’s expensive, whereas I don’t see all the time wasted by the people I already employ. Having said all that, it’s a hard problem, and I’m not sure what general advice can be applied.

A "vast and accelerating scale of change" that heretofore, as evidenced by data, yielded no climate-related burden on humanity. Atmospheric CO2 went from ~280ppm pre-Industrial Revolution to ~325ppm in 1970 to ~410ppm in 2019[0], during which time we 10x'd the number of humans and as I stated, reduced the human toll on the climate by over 6x in the past 50 years.

But sure, call me intellectually dishonest in the absence of any evidence; without which your position is just another Malthusian or Ehrlichian doomsday prediction.

Unless ML tools know which nets have how much current/voltages on them, as well as which ones are sensitive to noise... as well as rise/fall times of each pin, its a hopeless job.

Lets say you have a trace that's 4mm wide that skips across a slot in the ground-plane. Is this good or bad?

1. Why is it 4mm? Is this a high-current line / power line of some kind? A crude power-plane that's just oversized for a trace? Is this a switching regulator with a bit of switching noise? Or is it a "quiet" power line, like a battery or LDO-line?

2. Is this trace actually ground? And the 4mm is to "jump" across the gnd-slot to provide a controlled return-path for some other line? What is the relationship of this trace vs another trace?

----------

If its a fat line on a switching power supply with a ton of current, maybe its a bad idea. If its a fat gnd, maybe its a good idea. Its all contextual. Its not very clear how a hypothetical ML tool would figure out this context, outside of like learning to read data-sheets and/or the EE writing down the purpose (very precisely) on each net... which probably is slower than just routing the trace manually to begin with.

I wonder if the next step for this will be to develop techniques to modify the methylation of genes to make them compatible.

At some point you're going to want this if you're trying to pick specific genes from people or if you're doing things like making people with dozens of parents.
Why fast food workers specifically? I suppose their jobs is worse than a desk job, or even a retail job, but there are arguably far worse jobs out there (eg. delivery workers, landscapers, or agricultural workers). The article's explanation of "most of the often overlooked workforce are the primary earners for their low-income households" isn't really convincing. Delivery drivers or agricultural workers are probably even easier to overlook than someone you have face to face interaction with, and I don't see any reason why primary earners would prefer fast food jobs over other jobs.
> If someone can see what you are doing, there is no difference between that and them recording it. If someone can hear what your are saying, there is no difference between that and them recording it.

There is all the difference in the world. This is what we're debating here. According to your binary logic, everyone is within their right to record and retain in perpetuity all public activity, with arbitrary high fidelity. And if that's fair game, I suppose you'd be okay with unifying them into one view and mining it? Like China, but even worse. I would be disgusted and ashamed to live in such a society. Fortunately, the law does not say this.
Yes. But we should terraform them first.

I'm also kinda disappointed anyone in the media would think of interplanetary (and possibly interstellar) colonization is a "libertarian" pipedream.

It may be a pipe-dream, but I know several Marxists who would love to visit the "red" planet.

And while I find Musk's antics and occasional counter-factual statements distressing sometimes, he seems to be earnestly committed to the colonization concept. I can't fault him for that.

I think my point is "space colonization is more than the butt of an elon musk joke."

Oh, yeah. There's a lot of iot webshit out there.
Not being a sycophant is not the same as being dismissive and disrespectful.
There is definitely a bias here, but it's a bias towards very large companies. They almost all have this exact same problem. The company I work for consults with something like 2/3rds of the Fortune 500 companies and almost every one of them suffer from these challenges. Of the companies I've worked with who seem to have their shit together and are on top of everything, almost every one of them had fewer than 100 employees. That type of company, by necessity, is run very differently than a company with 100k+ employees.

It may be helpful to not think of a company with 100k employees as one company. It's really multiple large companies with competing priorities who still want to be able to realize efficiencies of scale across the board. You've got different cultures and different processes across all of them. Yet you don't want each of them to be adopting "the cloud" in wildly different ways. You need consistence in governance and guard rails which cut across all of the orgs or your costs and complexity are going to be all over the place. You'll have orgs spinning up their resources in different cloud vendors which will greatly hurt your opportunities for the cost savings which come from real volume.
Sounds like you develop your own code, and/or get a choice of language, framework, or platform.

In enterprise settings the story goes more like: “We signed a contract with a vendor you’ve never heard of, now make it work. Their account manager assured me we don’t need all that fancy cloud stuff you keep talking about.”

Also: “We just signed a $1M contract for this cloud automation tool without talking to you first, the only person who will have to use it.”

(Both of the above are very lightly paraphrased from conversations I’ve had… this week.)
Can this be used to replace objects in a scene? In your demo example you place a bed, but what if I want to replace my bed with yours?
> very nuanced problem fanned by vested interests and hence passing a blanket bill without understanding the issues involved can actually do more harm than good

I'm very interested to understand the "more harm than good" part, but the firstpost article you linked doesn't touch on them at all. The article seems to be focused on how the special interests groups are pushing their special interests.
On a CM5, a lite or one with eMMC would suffice in combination with NVMe. I have CM4 with eMMC and use SATA w/them.
Most of those tools don't need specialised training and consultants.

It's just cheaper for the company to use them rather than hiring or training new staff.
I hope they retain the spirit of NORDBAT 2.
Something similar happened to me with a client whose codebase took up to an hour to rebuild from scratch. Certain code changes would cause the build system to take anywhere from 5 mins to 45 mins to do a partial rebuild. It was agonizing not knowing how long the code would take to build.

I found that role extremely unproductive, and draining like you describe. The build system was arcane and convoluted (CMake), requiring days or weeks of dedicated study to understand well enough to make improvements. Obviously our team was never given the time to do that, so we were all stuck in this hateful build-test-fix cycle.

I've learned to value companies and clients that place the developer experience very high in the pecking order of things to work on.
You're the first person I met who feels the same way I do. I don't like looking at old photos. Nothing to do with "regret" everything to do with those lovely times are never going to happen again.
> Because of their no DRM policy and full on downloads, not just streaming, Bandcamp has basically become the only place I’ll buy music outside of CDs.

Just so you know, Apple and Amazon also offer DRM free music downloads. Obviously, you have to actually buy the individual song or album, not a streaming plan.

In Apple's case you do need to install iTunes to get your DRM-free file (on Windows, I'm not sure what the status is on Mac nowadays), which kind of sucks.
Surely people have higher expectations for the environment their avatar is going to be in than a literal box?

Games often only have the highest detail models present in cutscenes, where the rest of the game can be limited, and the camera can be controlled to limit how many characters are visible.
Or use USBv3 to NVMe enclosure. Cheap and good ones can be found on Ali.

When the 4 came out, lots of people wished that power + video would be provided over the same port, just like we expect with almost every modern laptop. Does that exist on the Raspberry Pi 5? Hopefully I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like it, which would be a shame.

Back then, many boards used to be routed with vertical traces on one layer and horizontal traces on another, "Manhattan routing". Somehow, the circuits worked. Nowadays you can't be so "careless" to hit EMI targets or even to get a working board. Switching PSUs, data buses, clock signals, all those have spacing, impedance control, ground coupling and other requirements.

Maybe you could encode all of them in the schematic and then let a modern algorithm suggest a board layout, but in practice nobody seems to do it that way (note that I am just a hobbyist with limited experience).

That version control isn't very good. It dumps me into a snapshot of that time, of both the data and the formulae together. Useful to see how things were 2 years ago, using 2 year old data, but in order to take that data, but use the modern formulae against it is a chore of hoping I get the copy and paste right. There is also no documentation on why those formulae were chosen.

Compared to git log -p, to see the changes in all the places there are instead of hoping I click on the right cell and catch all the changes.
One advantage of a remote desktop protocol over x11 forwarding is being able to keep the application(s) open and in the same state when you disconnect and connect from another machine or access the host machine.

I haven't really used xrdp, but I have used xpra and have been able to attach to running instances of applications that I left open on the host machine remotely (much like I can reattach to a screen or tmux session remotely).
Interesting how the immigration policies are the biggest contributing factor to this situation. At least now that the centre-right took the government and is trying to fight against the outcome of those policies, the opposition agrees with their proposed measures.

Meanwhile in other countries (e.g. Spain) the left don't want to face the very same issues (although we don't have that many fireguns related crimes, in our case the weapons of choice are usually machetes, knives, etc...)
Yes, it's called consulting and it's great work if you can get a consistent client base.

I genuinely wish you the absolute best of luck getting a consistent client base.
I never said anything about the likely safety of the technology, so I'm not sure what that has to do with it?

The genetic mix from parents is randomized. Always. Both good and bad results are equally the result of a random process initiated by the parents. A combination of recessive genes to cause disease is not more or less random than a combination of healthy genes. The parents roll the dice, the child gets the result.

In other words: The ethics can't proceed from first principles around consent to experimentation. It has to include, as you say, empirical questions about the technology in question. But that's a different sub-thread.

If I had to say anything about that: I think this is one of those things that is just going to happen whether or not anyone likes it. The fact that it has already succeeded with mice + the massive applications... it's just going to get tried, it's just a matter of which country it happens in. The fact that it could potentially be used by same sex couples is a total side note to how strongly this will be pulled along by the same existing demands that drive IVF currently, the potential is just too powerful. So I imagine we're just going to see eventually.
I wish there was some "here are basic building blocks to achieve XYZ" for real beginners who just want to hack something together. E.g. I would like a 48VDC-48VDC battery-to-battery charger, but I have no idea how to get started. I'm sure this is a fairly simple design (I guess boost voltage and then do CC/CV).
The LAN here seems relatively small and fixed, i.e., the number of passengers on a flight is known and does not change during flight. The airline could easily assign a unique IP address to each seat (ticket) without using DHCP.

This is generally in contrast to other instances of public Wifi.
If STP[1] is enabled, but that is unlikely since you'd have dropped connections when roaming for the reasons you just gave. Most likely, STP is not enabled on these networks.

You know it's funny, my current laptop has a weird firmware bug (certified Asus moment) where it refuses to go into sleep mode. If sleep is triggered by any OS it will straight up just shut down completely. I've lost some work the first few times I used it out of habit.

Eventually though it didn't turn out to be much of an issue, SSDs boot real fast these days anyway and I can just do a full power cycle.
There's a meme in some AI circles that "once we understand it, it isn't AI anymore" and things like ML, NLP, and most of the Machine Vision field, while they came from AI, have "escaped" and are no longer AI because we've actually figured them out. That's probably some of what you're seeing; it's probably also colliding with "AI is an umbrella over a bunch of technologies, AGI is scifi/fantasy" which is pushing the other way - that one is a little tainted by the whole "intelligence is uniquely human" bit of wishful thinking, where the former is expressing the simpler idea that "I can estimate and ship a product that uses NLP; any estimate about an AI product is a lie"...

That is an interesting note (and news to me as the article author). Note that they used Closure in its "simple" mode, rather than "advanced", which is what the post is mainly talking about. I wonder if React still uses CC?
Even for humans there was a transition period, and not a sudden explosion of new expression. Naturalist gave way to impressionism, which gave rise to expressionism, and eventually then came abstract works. There's a clear, gradual change in style between them all.

I don't see why you couldn't have an AI do the same, by training it towards a particular aberration in output until that became something it understood well.

> So going from +30 feet to -30 feet in a minute is just an adjustment of only about 5 degrees. You'd barely feel it, even walking down the isle.

You would pretty obviously feel a change in pitch of 5° walking down the aisle.

You mixed feet per second and feet per minute. 60 feet of change across 777 feet of run is about 4.5° (inverse sin(60/777)), such as you'd experience if the change was in 1 second instead of in 1 minute.

Calculating 60' change in 777*60 feet, inverse sin (60/(777*60)) is 0.07°, which is why you don't feel that change in inclination of the aisle.
Sadly rr cannot work on software that makes any kind of call to GPUs, so its usefulness is pretty limited on a lot of larger software. But when it's usable, imo it's amazing.
This later paragraph sounds relevant:

> It also settles — for now, at least — a fight between labor and business groups over how to regulate the industry. In exchange for higher pay, labor unions have dropped their attempt to make fast food corporations liable for the misdeeds of their independent franchise operators in California, an action that could have upended the business model on which the industry is based. The industry, meanwhile, has agreed to pull a referendum related to worker wages off the 2024 ballot.
Probably not. I bet something in Android didn't work properly until they whitelisted some Google domains — for example, maybe it didn't detect the Internet connection when the user paid for it, or maybe something on the entertainment tablets broke (I don't know if they usually run Android or something else).
I also worry about enshittification of Bandcamp. And I'm an artist with music on the site. I was very nervous about the Epic deal when it happened (figured it was a way to get the founders and the A-round VCs some money in a cash-out after an incredibly long period of time, similar to what happened to Meetup).

But now? Songtradr smells like an investment bank, one that looks at music as "content" or "IP" and wants to license the hell out of it -- and ultimately, own as much of the rights as possible.

They do not strike me as aligned with artist interests, or with the spirit of Bandcamp, which, admittedly, at this late date is mostly a fantasy.

Bandcamp represents the last, best refuge for artists in a world where most companies offer you "exposure," what else would you want, stop whining about being paid, etc. Bandcamp means payment. Which means livelihoods.

I don't trust SongTraitor.
