It's only one part, predicting text is relatively straightforward because it doesn't require predicting complex sequences like 'a S23mz s.zawsds'. Based on statistical analysis, there is a limited number of word combinations that humans use. With hundreds of billions of parameters, significant compression is possible. Mathematics is different as it requires actual reasoning, an area where LLMs often struggle significantly because they lack the capability for genuine reasoning.

Our living room is made of windows and direct sunlight is a nightmare for most TVs. We don't wish to cover our windows every time we watch a show or kick on the nintendo switch, as we like having a house with tons of light and windows :)

We LOVE our frame TV. Its anti-glare is awesome. The samsung nagware and UI suck, but I've not found anything nearly as good.
The overwhelming majority of the stuff you mentioned was put up for free with 0 monetization intent. Is Google also putting ads into non-monetized content as well?
I always thought about this growing up. How the engine’s heat is used directly to heat the cabin and there is no heater.

Also my gaming PC in the winter. It feels like free compute given I’m heating anyways.
It's probably the best there is, but still leaves a lot to be desired. For example, let's say you want to choose, say, a power MOSFET to handle certain large current. In your design you could use one, or you could use multiple in parallel. Naturally, in this case you want to sort parts by amps per dollar, but you can't sort or filter by mathematical functions of combinations of parameters. So first you have to assume you'll use one mosfet, and find the best one; then repeat assuming you're paralleling two, and so on... Same if you're looking for capacitors and so on. You can rank by dollars, you can rank by Farads, but you can't rank by Farads/dollar, or stored energy (farad-volts-squared) per dollar etc. You could perhaps export to excel and do the search yourself, but sometimes that's not easy.

You can specify value (6 mH) and tolerance (+-10%), but not joint values-and-tolerances. So if you really need at least 6 mH minimum, you technically want to search >6.7 mH +-10% and >6.3 mH +-5%, etc, but that's extra work.

Sometimes the parameter you care about simply isn't available in Digikey's filter, because it's a little obscure like... high-frequency CMRR, or something. So you have to dig into each part datasheet one at a time. That's not really Digikey's fault though; they've tried their best to guess the parameters that are most important, and nobody else has done better.

Where it does get very frustrating is when you need to search through ranges of ranges of values. Like, if your application has a supply voltage that could be between 3.3V and 5V, then you want to filter out parts that require an input voltage higher than 3.3V, or are damaged by an input voltage below 5V. But there's rarely an easy way to do this; often Digikey has one column containing value ranges like "1 - 4V", "1 - 4.1V", "1 - 4.2V"... "1.1 - 4V", "1.1 - 4.1V", and so on. Some of their filters have gotten smarter, but many are still like this, and it takes a long time to go through and select all possible acceptable parts and reject all inadmissible ones. So to save time you end up just guessing at a few likely ranges of values, but then later you discover that there's one really good part that's perfect and cheap but it can tolerate voltages all the way up to 25V for some reason, and you just filtered it out early on because it would have taken too long to scroll that far down.

Searching for connectors can be very frustrating, because there's usually no easy way to look through related parts in a connector family, like to find matching male and female crimp pins and their respective housings.

A lot of frustrations like that are very common, especially when approaching a design from a blank slate.

But the post links to Twitter (X.) That's the wrong place for argument or rigor. But do you really need that? Seems to me like his post is essentially saying "Pay attention to all this stuff which people have been working on for a long time." He's just casting a vote. The argument and rigor is already there for further reading. That's interesting for me, because I don't know much about the topic. If you already know all this stuff, then maybe it's not interesting.
For a few months now I haven't been able to shake the thought that a non-commercial over-the-air broadcast retransmission service is legally feasible. There is obvious value in out of market broadcasts throughout the United States, people pay for cable and sports streaming services because they want to watch programs not available in their market. If i'm interested in making money, then the text of the law leads me to think that a service which retransmits broadcasts over the internet is legal.

I linked this legal analysis because I am fascinated by the history of thr law powering my thought. Sure, the text of the law seems pretty clear, but there are reasonable concerns that such a service would maim OTA broadcasters in small but well-served markets.

I've got some technical solutions in mind that I'll keep to myself for now, but picture this: at an average length of ~210 minutes, an average NFL game would cost ~$0.21 to stream over Cloudflare Stream to a single user. Would you pay $0.21 to watch an NFL game? What about $5 to watch your team's entire regular season and playoffs?

> Anxiety is a valid emotion that’s trying to warn you that your surrounding is not good. If anxiety is happening at the scale we’re seeing in the world, then calling it an individual problem is outright wrong.

This is a byproduct of mass/social media exploiting that mechanic in individuals to keep people tuned in. Fear, obligation or guilt gets to 99% of people. Let's talk about Fear.

Everyone I know with anxiety issues is terminally-online or, before the internet, tuned in to the news every waking minute of their day. They are hyper-aware of the dangers of the world and are always in a falsely-heightened state of arousal.

It makes the world feel smaller and more dangerous than it actually is. It sucks that people are dying in Ukraine. But you don't live there, and have probably never even met a native Ukie. We aren't supposed to react to danger on the other side of the planet. But we're exposed to it and more nonetheless while powerless to do anything about it. It's reinforcing helplessness.

No animal can function this way. It would eventually become so skittish and paranoid it will start making mistakes, and run directly into the crocodile pit while trying to escape a yapping poodle.

The ignorant aren't immune to anxiety because they're retarded; they're tending to the lot in life they do have control over and reacting to dangers that directly threaten them.

The worst self-induced anxiety offenders are the ones who seek out other peoples' conflicts to involve themselves in.
They seem to be rolling it out by region. In my region there was a brief complaint about ad-blockers, once, and nothing since. It could also be that Brave is successfully winning the game of cat and mouse.
It’s been awhile, so I don’t remember exactly, but I’m fairly certain that an ad is played in front of every video, even the obscure philosophy lecture ones. There are definitely ads for Masterclass, etc. in front of the more modern educational podcasts and shows.

I assume it isn’t free to stream a four hour lecture to my device, so I don’t have an issue paying a small fee to do so. $20/month is nothing compared to the value I get from it.

The most successful technical organizations (US Navy, HP, Xerox, Bell Labs) let people own their own solutions and work. You give someone a problem with context on why that problem needs to be solved and then you let them own it with near complete autonomy. Not everyone can work in this environment which is why technologists will not be commodified in the near future. Until I can tell an AI that they need to reduce my AWS spend by 20% or they need to add an extra 9 on my service’s reliability there are going to be technologists involved.

OSH Park is great for small-batch PCBs. A great feature (especially for newbies) is the previews of the board it shows when you upload the Gerber files. I tend to use the OSH Park preview even if I’m getting the actual board made somewhere else (e.g. with a high-frequency substrate) just because it’s such an easy way to do a final check on my Gerbers.
Anyone mixed this into music?

Totally. If it's cold and you have an idle rig, you might as well use it to run a crypto miner before reaching for an actual heater.

The loud "pops" at superchargers and when driving after supercharging surprised me for a while. I would stop to look under the car if I had hit something. The pops while charging are sort of self-explanatory, but those while driving took me a while to associate back to the prior supercharging.

Basically, changes in temperatures are causing the pops. It's kind of weird and slightly annoying. Sometimes it happens for quite a bit after charging, particularly when driving through changing climate (i.e. climbing mountains). Having done Reno/SF round trips a good few times now, I've gotten used to it.
From your language (extortion, cave, strong-willed) im sensing that you are not keen on subscribing to youtube premium.

Which is fine, if you prefer YouTube free, supported by ads then you're of course free to carry on with that. I'm sure Google are very happy to keep feeding you ads.

I'm curious then why you care about YouTube premium subscribers? Again your hypothetical question (around possible future Google actions) seems loaded. Almost as if you predict bad Google behaviour,then treat them with distain for that behaviour prematurely.

Of course you also have the option to stop watching YouTube completely. Then you'll be neither a premium, nor ad-revenue source for Google. That would really stick it to them.
If the AI happened to originate in space, wouldn't its first high-resource targets of interest be the planets? If it originated on Earth, I don't see why it would leave this place intact when it contains so much that can be put to use.
Open source licenses allow commercial use so probably not fit for Open Source. If your project is NC it can't be open source.

So yeah, I don't know who would be the target, probably very niche.
I don't recall any science in it

Can't agree with you there. I think even Cameron would be the first to say that Aliens is primarily a thrill ride. But it is also objectively true that at least two hard scifi elements provide the scaffolding for the events of the movie.

Two of the most central themes of the movie were fairly hard sci-fi... although admittedly one of them was nearly entirely deleted from the theatrical cut.

One: What would a person experience after decades of hibernation? In many ways the film revolves around or is set in motion by Ripley's extended cryosleep after Alien. She is now alone in a strange world where her skills are no longer relevant or current. This primes her for manipulation by Burke. She has also missed out on her deceased daughter's entire life, which primes her to think of Newt as a surrogate daughter and protect her with a mother's ferocity. (Unfortunately, the exposition about her daughter was removed from the theatrical cut. Huge miss.)

Two: How would mankind react to alien contact? Would we treat it with ontological reverence or would it be business as usual for warmongering corporations? The second half of the movie is set in motion by Burke doing the latter on behalf of Weyland-Yutani.

The terraforming stuff.... yeah I agree it's just a setting.
I wonder how much weight it adds

A gasoline based ICE is so incredibly inefficient it needs to shed heat or it would melt down. It makes more heat than that it makes motive power (the thing it is designed to do...). A 50 KW engine makes 200 KW(!!) of heat (at full throttle). Most of that heat energy exits the system through the exhaust gases but there is plenty that gets stuck in the body of the engine and you need to remove it from there somehow before it causes damage. That's where your cooling system comes in, a coolant (typically: water or glycol or a mixture) passes through its own channels in the engine around the thermally loaded parts such as the cylinder and head walls to remove the heat. This coolant is pumped around in the engine using the coolant pump to a radiator, usually located at the front of the car in the airstream to help reject the heat to the environment. The interior heater of a car basically just re-routes a bit of that heat in the cooling system into the cabin through a miniature radiator with a fan connected to it that doesn't vent into the environment but into the cabin.

So there is plenty of waste heat to go around. Some diesels got so efficient though that they needed an extra in-line heater to have enough heat for the cabin in specific operating domains (low power engine, low revs).

It is effectively co-generation: you get two different kinds of energy (motive and heat) and you use them for different purposes.
What is the cause? Thermal expansion?

I have a room in my attic that can make really loud bangs on hot summer nights (enough to scare the crap out of me when I am concentrating on something and do not expect them) when it contracts again after a day in the heat. The root cause there is stick slip: the thing doesn't move for a long time due to its weight so tension builds up and then suddenly it will shift a little and the whole structure amplifies the sound from the shockwave passing through it.

Your 'pops' remind me of that (and supercharging must have some thermal effects).
If I understand correctly, one reason would be if they have the ability to inspect each others source code (or if they share the same source code), run unit tests, and so on. Basically the same things that humans would do to figure out whether an AI is trustworthy, and which you can't very easily do to a human.
While it is true the PC98 had (and still has) quite the share of doujin games, I do not like how the article makes it seem as if all software was games, as if all games were doujin, and all doujin were perverted.
Yup. You're trying to debug something, and you're deep in ParentClass.some_method. some_method is pretty complex, so it's tough going, but each time it calls self.other_method() or self.yet_another_method(), is that call going to the methods of ParentClass or some sub class? And 15 minutes in, do you even remember whether it was SubClass or OtherSubclass?

Inheritance turns the functional structure of your code into mud. Unless inheritance is absolutely the best design, better to drop it.

How do you know how many new engines it has had? I thought thus far we didn't have concrete data on how often SpaceX are swapping engines during refurb, which also means we don't have reliable info on how much it actually costs to refurb for each flight.
I highly recommend that book. It's a classic. It will answer your questions better than anyone on reddit.

Slow things down by running on gpu?[0]

According to [0], apple doesn't support multiple-gpu's :(
Multi-gpu setup (say one gpu per addon card) could allow for each tensorflow network to be run on it's own 'hardware box'/gpu card (and/or distribute/farm out the training to other hardware), In which case, the typical 'max hardware' just becomes a tty user interface layer to various gpu plug-in cards / processes distributed/farmed out.

Aliens isn't much more than NYC with monsters in the sewers, with a different backdrop. It was ok and I didn't feel like it was a waste of time, but that's about it.

I definitely expect more from scifi to be scifi.

Are you sure you are still on the $7.99 rate? I was on that grandfathered plan but it was eventually raised to $10.73. I am in the USA.
Yes, though it's been a while now; I was getting into consuming a lot of content off YT, but massively cut back when I first started to hear that they were going to try and force ads. Since then I had a partial relapse in the form of YT on a smart TV, but eventually it got to be too much - I think the last straw was when I tried to watch a medium length video (~15-20m?) and had... I think it was the third ad break that made me close out and go watch HBO ("Max") instead.
3M is on the bleeding edge here: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/data-center-us/applications/inte...

Given that there is probably less attention for good ol' C projects these days, its probably educational for the masses of readers using interpreted languages to see a simple-ish project using a classic, compiled language.

In terms of binary size, memory usage, you probably can't beat a slim C project.

Difficulty of clean code/memory leaks/security aside, I think everyone should read or write some C every once in a while. Fix that software that doesn't work quite right on wine. Learn the linux kernel enough to fix a bug for hardware you own. Start some project like this. You might learn something, or strengthen some old mental muscles.
I do not think that. This similarly applies to both sides of some other contentious scientific/medical topics which can easily get someone labeled an “antivaxxer” as an ad-hominem directed without solid reasoning. One imagines what labels were given to those who did not support widespread leech therapy at its peak…
Broken on purpose in this case, I am sure, for the same reason Spotify doesn't deal with FLAC.
> I hope they continue to push some boosters until failures start happening

The only problem with that is the media going wild with headlines of "Musk's SpaceX rocket blows up, catastrophic failure", etc. etc.

Honestly I'm surprised that YT would let users have anything like a top level path; I'd expect it to be all youtube.com/u/myuser/$FOO where FOO can be a video or playlist or whatever.
> in programming you do new things more often

Only if you don't do new things often outside of programming. Everything certainly is fiddly and anything new you do is going be technical if you care about doing it well. I spent half a day last week learning to paint-fill engraving to make labeling. Conceptually it was trivial (coat with paint, wipe off excess, sand back when dry) but there was still plenty of nuance.
I don't think I've ever experienced these loud noises, sounds frightening specially if you are not aware of the syndrome.

Sometimes I do experience whilst falling asleep like if I'm in a wind tunnel, it's both a physical sensation of the wind going against me (like freefalling) and also the noise, it's not unpleasant. I've tried several times to stay still and focus on the sensation to induce a lucid dream, however either I end up being slightly frightened, moving and waking up or just falling to normal sleep.

Everything dream-related is pretty mind blowing to think about, both how many of us experience such different experiences and sensations, but also how many of us sometimes have almost the same experiences, like the exploding head syndrome, sleep paralysis and it's hallucinations (which in many occasions seem to be around the same for everyone).
