Some very lengthy pages on the subject of keyboards, no mention of ISO/IEC 9995-1 anywhere, nor any mention of "104-key", "105-key", "109-key" et al. in favour of some very confusing and idiosyncratic "ANSI", "ANSISO", "ISANSI" nomenclature instead, which the site proceeds to explain is confusing, wrong, and a popular (at least in the United States, the site says) misconception.

If it is confusing and wrong, it's a bad idea to base all of the other explanations on that terminology, because it just reinforces something that should not be reinforced. Yes, "109-key" can be off by as much as 20 keys; but it avoids implying the whole "ISO versus ANSI" nonsense, and making up things like "ISANSI" from whole cloth; and at least does imply that the important difference from "104-key" is 5 extra physical keys in various places.

I had an interesting experience a decade ago when I spent a week recruiting at UT Austin and the next week recruiting at MIT, both for software engineering jobs. UT Austin is no slouch, but it doesn't have the reputation of MIT for software engineering related majors.

We collected several hundred resumes from each. Only the best resumes from UT Austin were as good as the worst resumes from MIT. But, talking to the students and interviewing them revealed that the quality distribution, in terms of what we wanted to see in interns and new grads, was much harder to tell apart. My conclusion was that the MIT admissions process did a great job of selecting for people who present themselves well on paper, probably because admission is so competitive. Both schools offer a great education for those who take full advantage of it. And we wanted to hire from that pool of people, regardless of school.
Karpathys stuff (https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html) is a pretty good overall intro. But for the hero part, you aren't going to get that from any course material, you are going to get it from implementing and training said models, which is somewhat unfeasible due to the hardware required to train these at scale.

I've always been a fan of NUC's. I've never had one as a primary computer, but my only windows pc is a NUC 11 enthusiast. I got it a few years ago for around 1000 bucks plus 32 gigs of ram and 1tb nvme. At the time it was the cheapest way to get a complete box with a 2060 in it and I couldn't be happier with it. I would have preferred if Intel had kept developing the NUC line instead but all things considered, Asus would have been my second choice. I hope they get it right and the NUC line stays as awesome as it is.

That's the upper end of US salaries for engineers, it's definitely not the median. But in general US, tech salaries are higher than every other location. If you can swing it remotely, it might be worth it for you.
Why? Everything is political.
Living in the U.S. will get you a higher salary, not that small of taxes, but then extremely high cost of living. Homes are used by investors as assets to be traded and not lived in by people and we in the U.S. pay privatized costs for literally everything.

However, those salaries are indeed extremely high. I am surprised given Figma was purchased by Adobe.

IPv4.1 should have just had 39 bits, to be written like 999.999.999.999. (I know this wouldn't have actually had much effect, nobody is going to add new routes in the middle of "class A" spaces that already existed, so it would just give those that already had IP addresses more IP addresses. Additionally, people really abuse decimal addresses in horrifying ways; for example, Fios steals 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.150 for its TV service, and that range doesn't really correspond to anything that you can mask off in binary. It only makes sense in decimal, which is not what any underlying machinery uses. They should have given themselves a /26 or something. You get 3 for yourself (modulo the broadcast and gateway address), and they get 1 for TV.)

As someone who was raised in a home without TV, sorry, but this is nonsense.

I heard this dozens of times, but in reality, having a phone, a tv, a gameboy isn't going to make a difference.

On the contrary, a kid without the latest consumerist gadget will likely have to develop social skills, and also will have to form new tastes and do different activities, such as reading, sport, etc etc - that will make him less isolated and a better individual.

Anecdata, but my son is raised in a home without screens, and he's the most sociable toddler of the playground. Probably because his dopamine receptors aren't overloaded and that he's enjoying the stimulation of social interactions!

Engineer with 6 years of experience from Backend engineer to Engineering Manager at Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu. Currently looking for new opportunity in office in Amsterdam or remote. Passionate, transparent and proactive are the skills that would define me and my way of working. I love working on products from their definition, their build and iteration. I am available immediately, feel free to reach.
can you explain why you think obsoleting the majority of commercial artists will "throw a wrench in our entire economy"? since you're addressing copyright law i'm assuming that's all you're addressing. this sounds like a very small number of people. for the economy as a whole, bringing down the cost of art is probably a positive.

i understand the arguments about artistic value, but those are quite separate from yours.
Yeah sorry I don't think I was clear. I don't exactly want to just drop in rich into the python source (for reasons you mention). But I do think they could take some of the ideas from there and place them in. Formatting is really the most important aspect here, especially around traces because these are the real work amplifiers. So much time is spent debugging that the better tools we have to debug better the more work __everyone__ does. But debugging is strangely a underappreciated area. I think you could do colors with just simple ansii encodings (same as you'd do in posix). I'm just using rich as an example of style.

r.e. pytorch: It's a love hate with me. I do think they should incorporate things that are extremely common and solve things that are daily issues. As a simple example, new users are often confused with loading and saving models when using distributed data parallel (DDP) because it creates this extra "module" name in the state_dict and so can require different usage for saving/loading models if you're distributed training or not. This can be quite annoying. Similarly there are no built in infinite samplers, which are common among generative modelers. People who don't iterate over epochs of data, but rather steps. There's of course many solutions to deal with this, but it does make sense with how prolific it is (and has been since 2015) that there just be a built in dataloader. I'd argue things like progress bars and loggers would also be highly beneficial, especially because pytorch's forte is generating research code.

But we're digressing. These are just opinions.
Well, right now I have graphviz dot which should be enough to load in and transform as needed into whatever DSL desired.
> voice actors are fearing that the ability for generative AI to replicate their voices may cost them work

I'm not sure how to feel about that. I'm against the idea that some people "deserve" being paid for being lucky born with an interesting voice.

On the other hand, the world always worked like that. And, say, hard-working farmer or doctor were also lucky being born with necessary traits to make for their living, while others weren't.
True, I remember downloading it to my laptop before going to the South Pole.
I had thought not even skeletons were binary. US revolutionary war general Casimir Pulaski seems to have left behind a non-binary skeleton:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_Pulaski#Exhumation_and...

A later study funded by the Smithsonian Institution, the results of which were released in 2019, concluded from the mitochondrial DNA of his grandniece, known injuries, and physical characteristics, that the skeleton was likely Pulaski's.[57] The skeleton has a number of typically female features, which has led to the hypothesis that Pulaski may have been female or intersex.[58][59][60] A documentary based on the Smithsonian study suggests that Pulaski's hypothesized intersex condition could have been caused by congenital adrenal hyperplasia, where a fetus with female chromosomes is exposed to a high level of testosterone in utero and develops partially male genitals. This analysis was based on the skeleton's female pelvis, facial structure and jaw angle, in combination with the fact that Pulaski identified as and lived as male.[55][61]

Elizabeth Weiss is already known for being insensitive at best, so I would take her interpretation of the situation with a heavy grain of salt.
Yeah. Aren't Intel NUCs the only Ultra-SFF offerings that separate the system between compute elements and board elements? It makes it simpler to have a board element specifically designed for a device while allowing upgradability of the compute element. For example, I imagine SimulaVR adopted NUCs in order to facilitate users being able to upgrade their system's CPU and RAM specs without having to replace the whole HMD or their device-specific board.
I'm confused. The announcement speaks as if sex estimation makes any assumption about the gender of the person? Now I'm no native speaker, but isn't the entire point of having two words in English that you can make factual anatomical statements about sex, while gender is a thing that can vary from sex and is "historically and geographically contextual, deeply entangled, and dynamically mutable" as the statement puts it? How is a statement about biological sex in any way a statement about gender?
Well, quite. If we include any one or more of the following three categories — formal spoken language, informal spoken language, informal written language — then there's definitely far more than three dialects of English. But formal spoken language really has only the three.
Harm can mean a lot of things. I doubt the AAA intended "do no harm" to mean "don't run into the crowd and start swinging on people".

Absolutely, and this is more along what I was asking. What about their discovery was deemed the most important part out of this long chain of work that led up to mRNA vaccination and this Nobel? Nature's news section had a history of discoveries a while back [1], and it seems like there is a lot of disagreement about who deserves what credit.

Personally, it seems like everyone's contribution is important, but we as humans irrationally want to point to a single thing/event/team and say "this was the cause" rather than stand back and notice how interdependent the whole thing is. In the end I think things like Nobels are pretty silly.

Location: Africa or REMOTE

Willing to relocate: yes, to any location in Africa, where i can get the necessary permission to live and work.

Technologies: Linux, Fullstack, System Administration.

Résumé/CV: on request (software development, CTO, mentoring, training, fluent in English and German)

Like this Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so i am in the process to relocate to Africa.

While i could find a job elsewhere i believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location i am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and i am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.

I am also open to work for companies anywhere as long as the work can be done fully remote from Africa.

In addition, my plan is to hire local interns and junior developers and train them in order to pass on my experience. If you want to support this, i would love to work with you.

There's definitely far more nuance to both our comments. But the underlying principle is true that capital needs to be moving. You're right that investment capitals do flow but they do so differently than say "cash in hand." The amount that these help the economy is quite different and tbh well beyond my expertise as this requires far more nuance than I have the care to learn about, as there are other priorities.
