Why is it weird that I connect ion channels? They’ve been shown to be affected by EMFs.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33945157/

Here, we systematically clarify how neuronal ion channels are particularly affected and differentially modulated by EMFs at multiple levels, such as gating dynamics, ion conductance, concentration in the membrane, and gene and protein expression. Ion channels represent a major transducer for EMF-related effects on the CNS.
If pilots have a privacy problem with it, then put the onus on pilots to not forget to turn off the recording. If they forget, they should be held accountable, ie lose their piloting license. Otherwise, they can't have it both ways, saying "we need our privacy" and also "it's not our fault we forgot to save the recording!"

Except the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere is a geodesic, not a rhumb line. So a straight line on a Mercator projection (rhumb line) is not a "straight" line on the surface of the planet, and if I see a long straight line, I'm asking "why aren't they taking the shortest path?"

Pretty much any queue and a compute will do. SQS paired with lambda an event bridge (I forget if that's the service to trigger the lambda or not) would be solid. I lean towards compute that's a bit easier to run in different settings so just any old code checking the queue and executing as expected also works. SQS is cheap and it's pretty damn solid. I believe it was the first AWS service.

But in reality, any managed queue or even a well structured DB table can be fine, depending on your scale.

Does it parse Julia files? I am having trouble with generating the wiki for a Julia repository, what surprised me was that it could parse and understand .tex files! Looks promising.
I like the idea that any advanced civilization which eventually starts to ask the same questions will come up with the following conclusion: That it's our moral duty to each other, to transmit and send out artifacts. To let others know the answer to our common question.

I think many well-off people just don't care. They might support them in a poll but question their utility in a specific sector like software. Or how another commentor said they weren't concerned about competing with people writting c grade code in India since they have been writing software for 20 years.

I don't think unionizing will help with off-shoring for development. I do think unionizing could bring about more equal treatment though. It seems most companies ignore their own policies when it comes to ratings, work assignment, hours, etc. Devs have very little recourse. Of course the assholes that do well and aren't afraid of c grade coders are the ones who don't want unions since they might loose their edge over others comp-wise.

Great questions - I wish the side who's wanting to do drastic-widespread and costly changes would also ground their reasons in facts; in contrast, authoritarians-tyrants manufacturing consent to implement policies to control and limit others isn't uncharted territory - and it is what must first be kept at front of mind in all of these conversations.
Point three is insanely flawed for a multitude of reasons which range from the fact that a gun allows a human to kill people in the heat of the moment, to the fact that a gun enables a human to kill people from hidden/safe space hundreds of metres away.

When building automated systems, the personal responsibility thing is weird and diluted. Is it openai's fault, or the company using openai in their produce, or the client of that company, or the end user? Sometimes it seems like people are down to give b2b companies a free pass, like a B2C company should be liable for what they send their users, but openai shouldn't be liable for what they send the B2C company. Personal responsibility can apply to LLM providers too.
Alright fine, here's me on a date giving my Tenet PowerPoint presentation
In my experience it's not the houses or trees that block you. It's always changes in ground elevation, a small rise here or there. Using 902-928 MHz (actually a 5 Mhz channel centered around 906) did not increase my range versus 2.4 or 5 GHz options at the same height above terrain.

And the fresnel zone of 900 MHz is much larger than 5 GHz so in it requires more height above terrain than 5 GHz. Not great. Tropospheric ducting is so transient and rare it does not matter for this application. And it doesn't really help getting your signal across town.

I regret investing in a bunch of 900 MHz transceivers, bidirectional amps, filters, etc.
Sure, but that's not what's being said. If that were the dominant use of the phrase that would be one thing, but the dominant use (and the one that's got everybody upset) is "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free".

My wife is not in tech (and so enjoyed Silicon Valley quite a bit less than I did when we watched it together).

Every so often, she'd express frustration about the "over the top writing" in Silicon Valley. Way over half the time, I could tie whatever it was she was complaining about to some concrete story from our industry.
That would certainly make the union workers more attractive given the average consultant’s experience, teaching ability, and understanding of the business.
This is an annoyance, not a safety issue. No aircrew is just going to blindly follow instructions routing them off to east Jesus after they already understand where they're going and how they're cleared to get there. What's more, on any given freq, you're talking to one controller.

And if another voice comes over the freq giving you instructions that don't make sense, the response is going to be a polite version of "WTF?"

Well said. I am a strong believer in vaccines.

Injecting code that causes all of your cells to mass produce spike protines to train your body to fight the spike proteins that your cells are producing just seems really questionable and the VAERS db seems to support my skepticism.

When I started reading the details of how this vaccine worked from the pro-mrna sites, my engineer side started ringing alarm bells and noped right out of it.

When google and others started silencing alternative viewpoints and major govt related employers mandated it, I dusted off my tinfoil hat.

They should have just let the information be free (bad or good) and not pushed so hard. Now they have created distrust.

My thought is that NDEs might occur before or after the cessation of neural activity. From a first person perspective, there would be no way to distinguish whether it happened when there was no neural activity. From an outside perspective, it would need to be a rigorous, carefully designed test to distinguish. If not properly designed, it would be easy to bias the results through unblinded participants, etc. I'm not aware of such a test being conducted?
> I put in more than 300 hours of study. It wasn't superficial and I didn't attempt to memorize anything — I wanted to understand fundamental techniques, and put a considerable amount of effort in to doing this, treating it as if it were my job.

If you landed a job, do you think this new ability to implement a CS 101 data structure would let you keep it? Help in your performance in a measurable way? This is what I mean by superficial. The same applies to the LLM work. You studied enough to where you could buzzword it in a 45 minute interview.

My response, which I'll be more clear with: Maybe it's not that bad that we're more careful and these superficial techniques are no longer adequate to get someone a job in this industry.

Don't think anyone is preventing you from doing anything.
I'm an enormous fan of Google Cloud Tasks (previously known as the Google App Engine task service). The low-level mechanism is "call this URL later" but with a tiny bit of application glue the abstraction is "run this code later".
I just can't see a coherent line of discussion here. What I see is a set line of conclusions that you want to support. Few of which really directly apply to the claims of this thread.

Worse, even if your stance is predicated on all actors in the area being evil, there is a certain level you have to ignore to not see the cartoonish quality of "Death to America" and to equivocate them with others in the area is borderline insulting.

And again, if you can't bring positive reasons to support one group, decrying "look at how evil everyone else is" is a deflection. You are refusing to actually engage with the declared evil intentions of one, by forcing a discussion on implied evil intentions of others.
you deprecated beck's work as 'mere software'. this presupposes that software is 'mere', which is to say, less significant than the other topics at hand. this logically entails deprecation of oberon, which is also software

similarly, you said that when i repeated dijkstra's judgment that boehm's work, indeed boehm's entire field (and beck's!) was 'snake oil', i was betraying only my own ignorance. but that would logically entail that dijkstra, whose judgment i was relaying, was led to this judgment by his ignorance. of course this is possible but your disagreement with him is hardly strong evidence of it. this makes your pleas for intellectual humility on my part laughable

in short, the problem is not that i lack comprehension if english, but that i possess comprehension of logic
I think it strongly depends on whether 24gbit GDDR7 is ready to go by that point or not. If so, they'll do 36GB.
The article is alright, but I couldn't help thinking, while reading it, that it was written by ChatGPT (or perhaps assisted). There's nothing wrong with using ChatGPT to assist your writing, but this particular essay comes off as exceptionally robotic. This part jumped out at me:

> During this journey, my co-founder and I also came to a pivotal realisation about our partnership. While we shared a great personal rapport, our business visions diverged significantly. My inclination was towards sophisticated B2B enterprise technology, whereas my partner favoured B2C models focused on operational excellence. Our efforts to align our distinct approaches ultimately highlighted our partnership’s strengths and limitations. With mutual respect and acknowledgement of our differing paths, we decided to pursue our entrepreneurial journeys separately.

Who the heck writes like this? It seems like a potentially interesting aspect of the story (topics about relationships and disagreements usually are), but it's written in such a bland monotonic way that it extracts all the emotion and intrigue out of it. It reminds me of the language that businesses use when announcing layoffs.
This might be a controversial take, but I just can’t imagine being emotionally invested in this whole copyright drama.

What’s the use case here NYT is trying to prevent? A user spending hours to force the model to regurgitate articles that may or may not be hallucination? Sorry to say it but there are far easier ways to get around the NYT paywall.

Pacifying the NYT isn’t worth it if it means we lose models like GPT4. I hope OpenAI wins this one.
They are using tsc though. It’s all type-checked. In my experience using tsc on JavaScript files is a good experience. But you don’t get the full feature set.
And at the end of the day, the ones doing the outsourcing will have outsourced themselves out of a job too. China won’t need American MBAs when they can do everything in house.

Same experience for me on Android Firefox. Couldn't return to HN via the back button, and most of the features were either "not supported" or just didn't work (e.g. Vibration)

Right, price is driven by supply and demand. If your ships have to travel 4/3 as far, you have ships available at 3/4 of the previous rate, so the supply of shipping went down. Demand didn't, so the price goes up.

> Otherwise nothing on the internet can ever be illegal, because hey the user was the one who typed the URL.

It can be illegal to access material that was legal to host, because a user and a host can be in different jurisdictions.

It can also be possible to use a tool in an unlawful manner even if user and supplier are in the same jurisdiction, for example you can type up a document that reproduces a work protected by copyright without permission and print it out, and this is on you not on whoever you got the keyboard, computer, and printer from.

These may well not be sufficient defence in law, I am not a lawyer and can't tell what the law considers sensible.

yeah but basically nobody uses them. intel canceled edison five years ago https://hackaday.com/2017/06/19/intel-discontinues-joule-gal...

the comments on that article from people who tried to use their boards are scathing

(the link to the not-yet-discontinued curie in that article is now a broken link, and the link https://communities.intel.com/community/tech/intel-curie from https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-arc32, which hasn't been updated in 5 years, says 'The core node you are trying to access is permanently deleted.' https://www.intel.la/content/www/xl/es/products/sku/96282/in... says it's discontinued.)

this is very different from 30 years ago when pc104 boards were all over the place. pc104 is not completely forgotten but pc104 and vmebus are pretty well eclipsed by raspberry pi, esp32, arduino, gumstix, and plain stm32 and avr8 designs, increasingly even in non-hobbyist designs. can and i2c have displaced isa/eisa and sometimes even rs422

so if you are doing embedded work you probably will not be able to use amd64 or i386 and thus jonesforth or smithforth or stoneknifeforth. but the principles do apply
Thanks! I've changed the URL from https://investors.twilio.com/news/news-details/2024/Twilio-A... to that article, which gives more background (and isn't a corporate press release).
Paradigm shift: fuzzing is testing if you write fuzzers that test properties. For instance, if you have a class that can be parsed and serialized, you may write something like this in a fuzzer:

if (serialize(parse(data, size)) != data) {
CRASH();
}

More directly addressing your point about not all functions accepting malformed input, you can also use a fuzzer to exercise sequences of methods on an object. If your class has any invariants, you can test them along the way.
But the Mercator projection doesn't show shortest-paths as straight lines unless they're north-south or the equator.
Plenty of comments already cover a lot of this. I'll throw my two recommendations here as well:

- OSHCut for sheet metal cutting and bending.

- 3DHubs (very very recently became Protolabs Network) for aluminum machined parts.

In general, the task you're now on could be considered "design for manufacture" - you have the basic concept, but now need to figure out how to go from general design to manufactured product.

Design for manufacture includes keeping in mind the process/technology that will be used to produce the part:
- you can do some amazing things with laser cut and bent metal, but you're limited to a single thickness per component;
- lathes are extremely precise and great for making round/concentric items, but the part is limited to rotational symmetry (barring fancy machines and/or moving the part to a mill for further work);
- mills are great for all sorts of things but really shine in "2.5d" work - where you have different profiles milled down to different depths, but from a single direction. Mills also can't handle overhangs (without a 5-axis, multiple setups or very special tooling) or features in different directions without multiple setups (which add time/complexity/cost/risk of misalignment of features).

For one-off or small run products, you can get away with being very inefficient in the process - starting with a piece of stock and milling 90% of it away for instance.

For the one part I saw you post a picture of, that could be done through either SLS or similar metal 3D printing (as someone else said), or one of the "official" ways to make a gear is to cut it with a custom single tooth cutter - where you run a special cutter along the length of the gear, rotate the gear one tooth, and repeat, cutting away the space between the teeth each time. Clickspring on Youtube has a bunch of videos covering the topic. I don't know who could do that as a service though.

If you post more pictures / sketches of the project, people here might be able to give better guidance for specific parts and operations.
Just tap and hold, works fine for me on iOS and Android
Let’s just look at one of the studies. What was the conclusion?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00139...

“If such individuals exist, they represent a small minority and have not been identified yet. The available observational studies do not allow differentiating between biophysical from EMF and nocebo effects.”

Even the Wikipedia article does not say it does not exist!
Not in the boot! The (joke) conspiracy is that the Starman is a cryogenically frozen person.
Voice recording is a big privacy concern for the crew. This is our workplace, so you would be recording every conversation, also any idle chat of which there is quite a lot in cruise flight. The current voice recording is only accepted by the crew with the agreement that it is not stored, and can only be pulled after a serious incident in which case there will be a no-blame investigation.

But what you're trying to solve, already exists without the voice recording part. It's called FOQA or Flight Operations Quality Assurance. Mandatory for airlines in Europe, not yet mandatory in the US but may be in the future.

It records hundreds of parameters from engine indications to touchdown speed, G-loading, control inputs etc. Automatically uploaded to the operator and tracked for the whole fleet. That data is de-identified and used for safety analysis and improvement.
Wait, you trust shortened numbers more than un-shortened ones? That hadn't occurred to me before.

It's a legit question, but if you have to ask, then most likely OpenBSD is not for you. I don't say that out of some elitist or gatekeeping motive, rather I think most people who use it have a specific need for it, or feel strongly about the principles behind the OS, which are security first and secure-by-default.

Here's a breakdown of some technical differences between the two, but really if you want to explore alternatives to Linux or even Linux alternatives I highly recommend you do so, even OpenBSD, but I respectfully suggest you have a use case in mind first.

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-linux-and-o...

The security first/secure-by-default mindset in OpenBSD means the core distribution is very locked down. By that I mean there's very little in the base OS in terms of services. OpenBSD had a robust "ports" selection for things you may need to add.

My use case for OpenBSD was as a firewall, but it was eventually retired because it just couldn't keep up with my network speeds. It still is a secure unix server for things like radius authentication of wireless clients.
