Then you're pretty surely wrong. I visited the Bahamas a number of times as a kid.

Your whole approach here feels rather bad faith/no true Scotsman-y. Of course you’ll have no fatal crashes if you say every fatal crash doesn’t count for some reason or another as not a real crash.
Definitely agree this isn't taking away EEs - anytime soon or ideally ever! The goal is to make EEs far more potent, rather than bring SWEs to hardware (although letting them easily tweak existing board's filter constants, vdivs etc... would be awesome too!)

We're honestly not sure how explicitly we want to describe a layout in code, or if it's a more declarative thing. Currently we're leaning more towards the declarative approach (eg. this trace carries 100mA of current) rather than the imperative (this trace is 0.150mm wide) since it should scale more intuitively with equations and layer better with DFM specs etc...

Have you got some ideas?

Well there is that whole golden ratio thing, perhaps you've heard of it? While I personally find all of that a stretch, plenty of people find merit in it.

And so far as JS Bach is concerned, it's pretty clear he was a mathematical thinker even if it wasn't necessary deliberate in his composing. Maybe it was? I don't know and don't really care because a casual listen makes it obvious.

Western classical music at its core is built around Pythagorean temperament, so it stands to reason that some outgrowth of this system can be modeled using pure mathematics, does it not?

I realize there are people who have contempt for Western music for various reasons, but I'd tell them to hate the game, not the player... it's not the music's fault that crappy culture manifested.
I was frustrated with ChatGPT's inability to answer questions of popular-but-not-that-popular open-source projects. So I helped build a ChatGPT-like tool that can answer questions about any open-source project, and you can add your own (public) GitHub repositories to it. The tool is meant to be used by sales engineers, but can be used by anyone.

Check it out here: https://app.commonbase.ai/

It has been a huge help for me when working with certain open-source libraries.

The problem with this is that wind speed alone is not a good indicator of how destructive a storm can be. Storm surge, mud slides, etc., contribute and can be deadly even in a category 1 or 2 storm. If the scale is to be updated, it would be beneficial to include other factors in addition to wind speed.
The iPhone 1.0 was a $499 product though and it was also a very useful smartphone when it launched, which was already basically an established market by Blackberry and others.
> how often do you have to install that stuff?

> how hard is it actually?

> can you really not use, e.g. for react, the typical vite starter and it's done?

I have to install that stuff everytime I'm starting a new project, switching to a new project, or creating a one-off script.

It's hard when creating a new project where there's always at least one flag that needs to be found and set different from a previous project for some random reason, every single time.

It's hard when switching to a new project, because you have to figure out which version of node you're supposed to be running because each version runs the dependencies differently between different versions of node, and different computers. It might even silently work for you without being on the right version, meaning you continue working on it, then your commits don't work for yourself later or others now or later. This leads to one of two possibilities:

1. A longer job either unwinding everything to figure out what the versions should have been the whole time.

2. A lot of trial and error with version numbers in the package and lock files trying to figure out which set of dependencies work for you, work for others, and don't break the current project.

We also can't use the typical community templates because they always become unmaintained after 2 years or so.

---------------------------

Why I like Deno:

- Stupid easy installation (single binary) with included updater

- Secure by default

- TS out of the box (including in repl making one-off-scripts super easy to get started)

- Settings are already correct by default.

-- and if you ever need to touch settings for massive projects, they all sit in one file, so no more: tsconfig/package.json/package-lock/yarnlock/prettier/babel/eslintrc/webpack/etc... And since the settings are already sensible by default, you only need to provide overrides, not the entire files, so the end result for a complex project is usually small (example link: https://docs.deno.com/runtime/manual/getting_started/configu...)

- Comes with builtin STD meaning I don't need to mess-around with dependencies

- Builtin utilities are actually good so I don't need to mess-around with the rest of the ecosystem. No jest/vitest, no webpack/rollup, no eslint/prettier/biome (but you can keep using your editor versions just fine).

- Since it came after the require -> import transition, basically everything you're going to be doing is already using the more sensible es modules.
Fair, you're as careful to use qualified language as I think I have been. Guess I wasn't really replying to you but just frustrated by the thread in general.
I helped "writing" a cookbook from my grandmother's recipes. For her 100th birthday, my dad rescued more than 250+ pages of recipes that my Grandma had collected over the years. Some were written in typing machine, others written by hand by her. So, my dad scanned (pictured) all the typed recipes, and "dictated" all the handwritten.

For the dictated recipes, I told him to dictate just "flat" the words and numbers. So that I had paragraphs of recipes.

For the scanned recipes, I used Google OCR (I found out it was the best one quality wise).

For both sets of recipes, I then used GPT4 to "format" the unformatted recipes into well formatted Markdown. It successfully fixed typos and bad OCR from Google.

We then pasted all that well formatted text into a big Google Docs, and added images. Using OpenAI image generation I generated images for each of the 250+ recipes. For some of them I had to manually curate it, given that some of the recipes are for typical Mexican food: For example there's a (delicious) recipe called "PibiPollo" that for the unitiated it may look like a stew, so I had to tell something like "large corn tamale with thick hard crust".

In the end, the book was pretty nice! We distributed digital copies within the family and everybody was amazed :) . I loved spending time doing that.
That was in March 2022, before the recent stuff kicked off.
Like Fujita scale for Tornados, it's about potential for potential damage it can cause which is here dependent somehow on the wind speed variable. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable about it can explain how it's correlated, but it's not about wind speeds (alone).
A student of mine was researching "vendor malware" [0] she decided to
order as many random, dodgy USB devices as could be found on the
internet to see what percentage of them were loaded with horrors.

We settled on a CRU Wiebetech write blocker and a minimal sandboxed
distro (that could reboot to a clean slate in a couple of seconds)
with little more than a kernel for which we could activate and
deactivate USB modules.

Conclusions:

USB is terrifying! :)

Buying USB things in the internet is even more scary!!

"Lady Ada" and Adafruit certainly are good at price gouging. They often charge exorbitant prices for the same stuff we can get elsewhere at a fraction of the cost. No, providing datasheets and some instruction isn't enough, there's a thousand other sites with better instructions in most if not all cases.
>getting paid LESS than the total cost to do the job

Why do you assume that those workers are so stupid, as to not be able to calculate whether the job in question is worth their while? Perhaps they, with better insight into their own financials, have decided that you may be incorrect?
You're right those sentences are there. My bad, I should have kept a closer eye. I looked at the author's title, which is indeed not as sensational as the HN title though.

> They are a statistically significant but practically insignificant predictor of academic success when you define it in the most absurd and irrelevant way (first year GPA).

As I said in my post, the bulk of their argument references other studies at similar institutions

They run their own linear regression. In no way is the argument "look the lines look linear".
Ice ages occurred over the span of thousands to tens of thousands of years. The current change is happening in the order of decades to centuries. Not only will plants and animals have a hard time adapting to change that rapid, it will cause huge amounts of misery.

Maybe where you live 83 vs 86 degrees doesn't matter, but there are hundreds of millions of people that are living on the edge already. Once a century droughts are becoming common. When people are fighting for their lives and the lives of their children, they will move anywhere where things are marginally better ... causing economic chaos, and even war. But that doesn't seem to affect you in your air conditioned house.

> Most of our models from 20 years ago didn't play out,

That is false. The IPCC reports of 20-25 years ago are wrong only in that they undershot the severity. All of them, for political reasons, knowingly under reported the severity. I agree, don't listen to Al Gore, listen to the climate scientists. BTW, why do you think the paper you are reading is any more informed about climate change than Al Gore?

My "stack" is just Apple Shortcuts making HTTP POST API calls to OpenAI, which does stuff in MacOS via BetterTouchTool. I trigger each by hotkey or typing a few letter into Spotlight (with Alfred). One transcribes and summarizes whatever youtube URL is highlighted. One does grammar and style correction of whatever is highlighted (and replaces it). One simply replaces the Dictate key with OpenAI Whisper but otherwise works exactly the same as voice typing. It's just way more accurate. One replaces the magnifying glass key to have a voice conversation with ChatGPT (using Microsoft voice synthesis). The built in prompt keeps it's answers short and conversational. It's like asking Siri something, but much better. One simply reduces the highlighted text by ~50% by rewriting it shorter, for when I have typed too much. One gives the key points of whatever article is in the foreground tab, so I know what I'm about to read. One outputs purely code, for example I use my voice to say "javascript alert saying blah" and alert("blah"); will appear at my cursor. Of course, it's usually more complex boilerplate stuff, but it helps speed up my coding. Every time I find myself using an LLM repeatedly for something, I make it into a little Apple Shortcut to streamline it into my workflow, as if it were a built in MacOS feature.
Thanks. From the article, for anyone else skimming who had the same question:

Technical reproduction. The Vesuvius Challenge Technical Review Team reproduced the winning submissions manually. We made sure to clearly understand every part of the code, and that when we run it independently we get similar output images. Since all code and training data is now open source, you can do the same!
Multiple submissions of the same area. You might have noticed that all submission images above show the same area of the scroll. This is because we released 3d-mapped papyrus sheets within the CT-scan (“segments”) created by our segmentation team, which were then used by all contestants. The resulting output images — created by different ML models and training labels — have produced extremely similar results. This holds not just for the winners and runner ups, but also for the other submissions that we received.
Small input/output windows. The ink detection models are not based on Greek letters, optical character recognition (OCR), or language models. Instead, they independently detect tiny spots of ink in the CT scan, the writing appearing later when these are aggregated. As a result, the text appearing in the images is not the imagined output of a machine learning model, but is instead directly tied to the underlying data in the CT scan.
There is no underlying reference frame. All motion is relative. Everyone, no matter how fast they are already going, will measure the speed of light as c. Accelerate to .99c and shine a flashlight in front of you. That light is moving ahead of you at the speed of c. Because to you, you are not moving.
A workstation priced high is at least something professionals already have been buying, Apple or no. Who buys at $3500 headset today? Time will tell but I think people who scoff at the price being no issue don't really grasp how expensive $3500 is for most people.
"All one needs is access to excellent books and internet resources, a competent teacher, and optionally a supporting community"

That "all" is doing a heck of a lot of work, to the point of being indistinguishable from satire!

A lot of SAT success happens because of families who can afford to train and hire tutors specifically for preparation.
If these people didn’t turn a profit no one would do the jobs, as they’d be losing money in each order. They may not be happy with that profit, but it’s a profitable gig
If you play flight sims it's a lot of fun planning and then actually flying to a new destination using only those paper charts (or Skyvector as indicated by another commenter). No GPS or in-game maps allowed, just use your compass, clock, radionavigation and possibly visual landmarks like the old days.

Then try that at night or during a storm for a even more intense challenge.
„It's a chaotic system. It doesn't work predictably“ is exactly the thing that worries me most - because that means it could get way worse than predicted today!

Take a class or training, preferably in person, and if online, make sure it's interactive/instructor-led. Bootcamps and schools are the ones reaching out to companies to see what is in demand. Sure, you may be one the oldest there (I was when I went), but the energy in an actual class is great.

>> where to look for "unique" programming jobs

I could be wrong but I don't think people actively hire for those. It seems most companies want generalists but knowledge of specific frameworks (ie. backend engineer with Snowflake experience). You may be able to connect with a software contract company and chat with someone there to see what roles they have placed recently.
Met that type as well, but the admiration (some would call it boot-licking) is just an expression of their desire to also be in that position themselves.

Sometimes I wonder if such people just lack the imagination needed to see how little being in their spot would actually give them. Figures like those got who they are based on a mixture of inherited wealth, luck and a certain, probably sociopathic drive that they are inable to guard against. But crucially: happy people they are not. Just watching Elon Musk — the richest guy on earth — being less in control of his life and less secure in who he is, than me, a a former art student, is truly something to marvel at.

Leading a good life is truly an art in itself, and people on a power trip are extremely rare to be good at it.
But..lol. Honestly, I am not a fan; waste of time and turn into a "sit down" most the time lol.
I had previously heard that category 5 storms were originally thought to be impossible, and only became possible due to global warming adding more energy into the atmosphere. The article however states that category 6 was technically possible as far back as 1979. Have these category 5, 6 and maybe higher always been possible, but just more improbable?
Cool, hope you like it. Fun but powerful little tool.
> doable for "normal" speeds, not one where you accelerate 1G for twenty years

It's still a lot of energy you can bleed off, particularly if you're aiming for a system with gas giants. I'm not suggesting one only rely on passive deceleration. But especially given it's fuel saved at the very end of the journey, fuel you no longer need to accelerate and decelerate for the entire duration of the trip, the savings could be sizeable.
Welcome to the arena, Tim!
Pizza delivery drivers drove their own cars (and paid for maintenance and everything) and replied heavily on tips. So basically the same situation as now, but unlike earlier, it's apparently no longer acceptable.

Are you kidding? All the investors in this space are taking an absolute bath. You can look this up if you want, but I don't think GrubHub, PostMates, DoorDash or Uber Eats have ever made any money.

At this point in time, the only people getting any value out of these services are the drivers, the consumers and the employees (who are, by and large, doing middle class sales, marketing and software jobs).
That whole CloudNative industry seems to be going downhill since the end of the free-money era.

It is surprising that it took that long. Very few companies really have the need to run at scale distributed systems on K8S.

But as soon as you get into that world, you suddenly need an operational team of 15 people to manage the 50000 moving pieces in that ecosystem.
There was an Erlang Day sequel later that summer: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2009-08-20, which I remember because I unintentionally started it and pg got mad at me.

IIRC, the front page before that was filled with stories about _why (they're split between https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2009-08-19 and https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2009-08-20 now), and people were complaining about that. I happened to have an Erlang article I'd already been meaning to post, so I posted it and it triggered a deluge, followed by complaints:

I always wondered why I couldn't find any trace of this in the archives, as I distinctly remember the scolding I got! I've gone and unkilled them now, which should restore roughly what it looked like.
I've generally found something similar- lots of gotchas, but also some very useful products.

The best way I've found to approach it is to treat GCP as something that has to be evaluated at an individual service level. It's great if you're on one of their expected workflows/golden paths, and you can get lucky with a good fit if you aren't, but they seem to have a lot of unspoken assumptions and limits baked in that might or might not align with your use case.

Disclaimer: My use cases are pretty unusual from talking to our account rep, so this might be over-fitting to weird data.
There were 19th century storms that were clearly 5s, at least. Whoever told you that didn’t know that the hell they were talking about, to put it mildly.
(5) automation.

Take the humans out of the delivery business and you get more flexibility on pricing. Self driving cars could do it if you are willing to meet the outside. Drones also, although I think the power costs will never work for air delivery, so it will need to be grounded somehow.
> Why is warming 1.5C from a prior date not as bad as warming 1.5C from the more referenced date?

For the same reason that -2°C + 1.5°C is below freezing and -1°C + 1.5°C isn't.

> We were in an ice age 300 years ago.

No, we weren't. Not unless you're using the term in a way that includes the Late Cenozoic Ice Age that began 34 million years ago and which is ongoing. Mostly people use the term to refer to glacial periods, the last of which ended between 19000 and 12000 years ago — that's not the date being vague, it's how long it took — when the area now called Boston lost its roughly one mile deep ice sheet.

That was a 4.3°C temperature difference.

What did happen from roughly the 16th to the 19th centuries that's sometimes called the "Little Ice Age" only affected the North Atlantic region; locally by about 1°C, but even given the size of the North Atlantic, the global difference was less than 0.16-0.25°C, small enough that year-to-year differences exceeded this.
