Add to the list the fact that the rules are not applied equally. Big companies can get special deals when Apple feels like it. Small devs can get randomly screwed when their reviewer misunderstands a rule.
Wasn't sure what this project was for at first, but that video is great. Very cool concept.
I prefer GPT-4's low speed to any other model's fast speed because with these models, quality is the most important thing.
First, our failures were not technical. We succeeded at creating a sub-$100 camera node that could be replicated and/or replaced quickly by relatively unskilled talent.

If I was going to do it all over again with the decade of engineering skills I've learned, I would look towards fabbing our own RTC I2C daughterboards and trying some GPIO-based approaches to triggering.

However, given our constraints, the solution I've described above worked incredibly well. I wouldn't be embarrassed to do it again.
Uhhhh, we've got all those "microprobes" which are all of the known objects in the Solar System. A couple of them are a bit macro though (Jupiter in particular).
Usually it is just rubber stamping the results of a tool like black duck, Vera code , or any scanner and the ongoing maintenance around that.

Not to mention how you configure the open source also affects if you could be vulnerable to a cve.
Guy is gender neutral, like person.

It is a noun, not a pronoun. “Dude” is also gender neutral, to save you a post at a later date.
Beyond that the branding is also confusing. Is it Closure? The Closure Compiler? Closure Tools? Google Closure? I used it for years and I'm still not clear which is right.
As a beginner, I find autorouting entirely unnecessary for the level of complexity I work with. Routing is pretty much the simplest part of the process to understand and somewhere between a fun puzzle and a tedious but simple chore depending on the specific design. I'm pretty sure there used to be a very popular mobile game that, while visually completely different, had the exact kind of "mechanics" as manually placing traces on a PCB does.

What would be helpful, however, are some better checking tools. Some mistakes, like running a trace right through the bottom side of a through-hole and creating a short that wasn't there on the schematic, seem very easy to detect and warn the user about before they end up spending hours cutting traces and running bodge wires.
The sad thing about this tree is that there aren't hundreds more!
I imagine we’ll see some local optimum around a single exclamation mark.
I'm not saying you failed at the task, but that you tried a bunch of things along the way (that you've detailed in this thread) and they didn't work for whatever reason. That's valuable to know, it saves me time if I want to do something similar in the future. Plus, it's just nice to hear about the engineering of it all.
I don't argue that people all have the same sense of guilt. Demonstrably they don't. Some people refused to own slaves; some people owned slaves but then released them, while other people owned slaves and never showed any sense of guilt.

What I say is that everybody (excepting the possibility of true psychopaths) has empathy available to them but many people suppress it. It's a universal ability, but not universally put into practice.

> a path to complete failure in my eyes.

And I dispute complete failure. Humanity does not behave perfectly morally, so if that's your expectation then we've failed and always will fail. But most people do have the capacity to behave morally most of the time, and people are guided in this primarily by their internal sense of right and wrong (informed by their innate social instincts.) This system doesn't work perfectly but it's very far from a complete failure.
There's no difference in the data that will be delivered to you DAC using flac or whatever the non-compressed version was.

flac is a lossless format. If it started as 24 bit wav, nothing is lost when you get the flac version of that. it's just smaller.
You know… I was gonna put this in my dads house (he lives near enough to the tracks to walk) and design it so that the little crossing guards went down with enough time to walk over to see the train (the very best part of “Gampas train house!”)… but I suspect a microphone tuned to the trains low rumble might be more reliable and work offline.

Consider the feature scheduled!
I really like your read me.
A NICER approach to genome editing with less mutations than CRISPR (2023)
Best of luck! I hope it all works out for you and everyone there, but it might be prudent to be prepared either way.
There is an absolutely wild range in data structures courses. A lot of colleges merge data structures and algorithms and some do each separately. I went to one with them separate and we focused on the application because we had time to. I can't imagine that we could have actually covered complexity if we were doing both in one semester.

I'm no apologist for Russia, and you can see that from where I started this thread, but...

You act like there aren't actually dozens and dozens of Fox-news style commentators on US media and talk radio who haven't said similar things before, about various enemies of the USA?

The asshats on Russian media saying these things are basically the Russian equivalent of that crap. Demagogues etc

Some of the shit I heard coming from American right wing media after 9/11 was downright scary.
"AI combined with CRISPR precisely controls gene expression" (2023)
https://phys.org/news/2023-06-ai-combined-crispr-precisely-g... :

> Sanjana's lab teamed up with the lab of machine learning expert David Knowles to engineer a deep learning model they named TIGER (Targeted Inhibition of Gene Expression via guide RNA design) that was trained on the data from the CRISPR screens. Comparing the predictions generated by the deep learning model and laboratory tests in human cells, TIGER was able to predict both on-target and off-target activity, outperforming previous models developed for Cas13 on-target guide design and providing the first tool for predicting off-target activity of RNA-targeting CRISPRs.

Would TIGER also work with NICER?
Definitely some interesting results, though I wish they went into a little more detail on their methodology. For example, is lower case better because it’s harder to read Titles With Every Word Capitalized? Or is it because PR titles in ALL CAPS tend to get ignored for being annoying which biases the results against capital letters?

Also I don’t buy their time saving numbers at the end. According to their own numbers the average dev spends 1.34 * 590 = 791 days per year waiting on review?? At least at my company I’ve never had to sit and wait around for a review, even if thr PR is blocking some other work there’s always been unrelated stories to do instead.
VSCode remote also works equally well via "remote SSH" to your VirtualBox Setup. I still use the virtualbox setup because I feel it has advantages compared to WSL:

- I don't need to enable Hyper-V, which hijacks virtualization and disables other softwares (like VirtualBox) from using it. In fact, when you enable WSL/Hyper-V, your windows itself boots as a kind-of-VM from a Hyper-V root, so WSL is just an additional VM inside that cage.

- Services run normally, since it's a normal linux box. No need to "service docker start" on every WSL boot.

- Easier to image/snapshot/transfer to another box or even another operating system, as VirtualBox runs in other OSes.

And you get the same native VSCode experience. Try it out (VSCode+Remote SSH to Vbox), you'll enjoy just the same as VSCode+WSL

One tip that I have is: Set a secondary NIC in your VirtualBox VM to a 'host only network' and use 'virtio-net' instead of the default emulated Intel Pro1000 cards. Much better performance since it's essentially a virtual device with unbounded speed. With the virtio-net device, even remote X11 becomes a real possibility with windows apps like VcXsrv. I'm a Pycharm user (and Pycharm unfortunately has meager support for remote, where VSCode shines) and I use it graphically like this -- there's still some input lag tho, but it's quick enough for me.
Good science fiction premise. The presence of the Moon and its stabilizing effect on our planet's climate, the presence of Jupiter with just the right mass to have a stabilizing effect on bombardment while not destabilizing planetary orbits, and then the presence of a primordial black hole allowing the monkeys to study dark matter physics once they reach space. Almost like it was an experimental setup.
Can someone please show me where in the email "worse search results" are referenced? I read it 3 times and still unable to get where they were mentioned!
This is a very good point. Thanks for bringing this up!
It has the one big customer problem tough. Not only that - that customer's existence requires it to do privacy evading stuff.
This is a very contentious topic but looking into the relatively recent Freenode vs Librem.chat debacle I think signifies how important privacy is to the common IRC user.
I'm working on a CM-2 emulator that I plan on releasing next year. I have some Paris (CM-2 'asm') executables and the 'coldboot' program running.

The CM-2 is probably my favorite arch I've come across wrt to 1980s architectures that are truly different experiences to what can be achieved with hardware you can buy today. It's the closest thing I've found to a zachtronics game that someone had the cajones to actually build. Really really really fun to code for.

Each of the four execution units has a 16,384 bit wide, single cycle access data path to RAM. Put that in your HBM and smoke it.

If anyone has any questions I'd love to challenge my understanding and attempt to answer (just take some of my answers with a grain of salt, as I'm still reverse engineering).
I had already checked a couple of those and I don't see it. Where is it?

There's no evidence that more than a very small percentage of humans (if even that) can differentiate between reasonable bit-rate pyscho-acoustic (lossy) compression and the source material.

Double-blind tests have made this abundantly clear.

If you really can hear a difference, you've either got particularly poorly compressed files, or are in a tiny minority of us.

I'm not sure what that means, but it's a 501(c)(3). Here is the foundation's annual report, for example:

> Established in July 2003, Mozilla Foundation (the Foundation) is a California not-for-profit corporation that exists to improve and protect the internet as a public resource by working with thousands of volunteers to 1) keep the internet a universal open platform and 2) promote continued innovation on the internet. The Foundation supports the development of open- source, standards-compliant, free internet applications useable free of charge to hundreds of millions of users. It also a) develops foundational technologies that can be used to build the values of openness and interoperability into the internet; and b) fuels the movement for an open internet through educational work that connects open internet leaders with each other and mobilizes grassroot activities around the world. The Foundation is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

I don't think the word "corporation" in "non-profit corporation" means much of anything as long as it has its non-profit status.
Wouldn't that qualify as a crime already? That sounds like fraud to me.
Potentially, by inpainting the existing object (use SD to remove it) then filling in the blank space. This makes a good roadmap feature.

I find it unfortunate that so many programming languages (e.g. JavaScript and Python) that purport to support Unicode identifiers actually exclude the most visually distinctive Unicode characters (i.e. symbols and some emojis) from being used in identifiers, on the entirely specious grounds that they are not Unicode word characters. For example, there are legitimate reasons why one might want to use the mathematical symbols for intersection and union as names of functions, or use circled letters/numbers as/in variable names, but you can't do these things because those are symbols and not Unicode word characters.

If you are going to allow Unicode, you should just default to the simplest, most easily memorizable rule (i.e. allow all characters except for ASCII non-word characters). Trying to be helpful by excluding characters you cannot imagine why anyone else might want to use just makes the rule harder to memorize and limits the class of well-former identifiers for no good reason.
Yes in your company where people are paid they will review in a reasonable time but everyone else who's tried a pr to an open source project they sit there for months unless trivial to review.

Exactly. Google even coaches their employees against leaving a paper trail like this. That’s why the email is pretty remarkable: if this one leaked imagine how brazen the behind-closed-doors stuff is.
As of right now, it's the same as its always been.

I understand the inclination to pessimism, and it may well be very well grounded, but we should perhaps try to be optimistic and aggressively activist at the same time.
That's what I thought I recalled. Like, am I the only one who'd disappointed with the lack of real advancement in automation in this space in my lifetime? I do think the online/kiosk ordering systems are nice, but it doesn't seem like it moves the needle all that much.

Also, for what fast food costs these days, I can go to a local sit-down restaurant with a friend, briefly talk with a waiter, and talk to the checkout lady for a minute because we're regulars there and have a very pleasant lunch. I don't exactly long for human interaction at McD's but if we're going to go full automated dystopia (or just pretend that we have by removing all human interaction from the process), then I think it could be a lot cheaper.
I wonder if mozilla isn't already spread too thin... given some outdated documentation I regularly stumble upon, and my bad experience with their vpn offering.

One issue w/ their vpn was stability and speed (not extremely bad, but better now on a different provider), but the main crux was that they officially supported Ubuntu but would only support a new Ubuntu release many weeks after release date. So you were left without vpn (think they don't support plain wireguard/openvpn from CLI, you're stuck with a client not available for your officially supported OS...) or had to hack around to install the old version... An E-Mail I sent to support asking about this was ignored, I never received a response (as a paying customer, mind you).

Cancelled my vpn account then and there. Getting into the issue of running and moderating social media? Seems like the last thing I'd like to get into, when my goal is to write software and get stuff done. Especially with how toxically PC and about x-rights here/there/everywhere and "pseudo tolerant" parts of the software ecosystem have become (and those will be the ones most active on such platforms)...

Work on browser fingerprinting prevention, or on your browser engine, or consider maintaining an easy to install privacy respecting de-googled android fork... (bit out there already, still better than running a social media server...), bring more add-ons to firefox mobile, port more tor browser technologies to mainline firefox to be togabble in the settings...
> 320x240, maybe you meant a smaller iPod though

Ours were probably 320x240 too. It was many years ago so I didn’t remember exactly :p

Although, for a widescreen movie it might use less than 240 of the available vertical size. For example if the aspect of the original video is 16:9, then a 320 px wide resized version of the video will be about 180 px tall.

So yeah, my guess is that the screen was 240 tall and that some of the videos we watched on it may have been as little as 180 px tall :D
Honestly, WSL has got nothing over a VirtualBox VM using a virtio-net network device on it.

- Real VM you can snapshot and transfer to another computer running VirtualBox, even on another OS, as VBox supports other operating systems.

- With VcXsrv or Xorg on Cygwin, you'll get graphical apps just the same, and with the virtio-net network card on the VM (instead of Virtualbox's default Intel Pro1000 - my protip :D) you'll get enough speed to watch youtube on google chrome -- e.g.: More than sufficient speed for using an IDE like PyCharm etc

- With VSCode, you don't even need a X server. Just use "Remote - SSH" and connect to your VM and keep your local lower input lag - Works just the same as "Remote - WSL" as both essentially use the same mechanism - a remote connection to a Linux server.

- Services run automatically, as it's just a normal Linux install. No need to 'service docker start' on every WSL run

- Doesn't hijacks your Virtualization extensions, like with WSL, which need Hyper-V which actually boots your computer with a Hyper-V hypervisor and blocks nested virtualization, meaning, you can't use other virtualization technologies properly outside of Hyper-V if you use WSL*

* Btw, you also get a (small, but non-zero) performance hit on your Windows box by using WSL, even when it is not running, since now Hyper-V is what boots your system as the ring-0 guy. Yes, your Windows install basically becomes a "VM" hosted by Hyper-V.

Unpopular opinion: WSL is okay for getting work done quick, but there are better solutions with better tradeoffs in how you handle control of your PC's hardware if you do a good VirtualBox set up imo.
Yep. A good portion of my time helping folks with PCB design is in getting them comfortable with making their own symbols and footprints.

Draw the parts. It's not that hard. Don't worry about libraries. Yes, somebody may have done it already. No, that one isn't the same. Just draw it, you have the datasheet. Make the symbol that fits your schematic, it'll be way better than shoehorning in the one you found.

I get it, I'm annoyed every time I have to draw a symbol, but that's just how it is. Every project I work on, I make a new library and draw symbols to put in it. I copy most library symbols I use into it so I can modify them. I reuse my own symbols, but I modify them for the new project. It's a fact of life... embrace it.

Is this actually true? It is not clear to me that pi necessarily contains every possible sub-sequence.
You included data lineage tracking in the first part which probably needs to be piped from an orchestrator.

At this point it’s a build or buy type deal for models using a model registry service.

Data versioning still feels unsolved to me.

It would still be lower with the philanthropy and tax deductions, rather than not doing the philanthropy and paying more taxes. You can never get a bigger tax reduction than the amount you're putting in. The only way that would be possible is if tax rates exceeded 100%.

I think you're at least partially missing the point.

For autopilots servo'd to pressure altitude, holding altitude to within 0.02 kPa is more difficult than holding altitude to within 0.05 kPa or to within 0.30 kPa (which is roughly the private pilot checkride standard as-tested).

Modern autopilots are actually better at holding altitude to a very tight tolerance than ancient, analog autopilots. Both can hold standards well within the PPL ACS.
I hope trains become more popular, and train travel is reinvigorated in the U.S!

Unless I’m missing something, I believe all the big pieces are in place for just such a D&D game already, assuming one is starting with an environment and some key scenarios and virtual components and also a lot of great system prompt and trigger prompt sequences are programmatically in place and therefor every aspect is not autonomously generated. Stitching it all together would be an engineering and design challenge, but from the procedurally generated VR spaces I’ve seen and the recent advances with leveraging GPT-4 (among other models) for DM and NPC roles, I really do believe the core elements are in place. And I’d play the hell out of that game too!
Mastodon is really big in Japan in general. Last time I looked it up I think three of the largest five instances were Japanese.
