This is a great start, well done!

Eventually it would be amazing to import (for example) a buck converter circuit with a wide voltage input, fixed output suitable for RF, and have it automatically check available components at JLCPCB and then lay it all out with, adhering to best practices (ground planes & capacitors right next to pins etc.) If the available components change, it can tweak the footprints and layout without having to start from scratch.

Good luck, I’ll be following closely!
Curious how you think about state that changes outside of a workflow’s scope (like user info in a database)
Fun, I tried to do this back with GPT-3: https://llm.ianbicking.org/interactive-fiction/

But Zork wouldn't be a very accurate measure of skill because GPT definitely knows Zork. Unfortunately the emulator (https://github.com/DLehenbauer/jszm) doesn't work with most games newer than Zork. I haven't revisited the code with newer GPT models either.
Wellness influencers who fueled pandemic misinformation target another crisis
My own experience in a few different states is that it's usually just township/city, then maybe county, then state to be concerned about, but... the what is often more confusing. Selling a chemical? That's a specific tax rate. Applying that chemical? Might be a different rate, and might only be applied to the labor.

The big one that tripped up the client was not charging/collecting tax on shipping. They weren't, but the tax engine said that they should be. I think the rules on that had changed sometimes perhaps 10-15 years earlier in the areas they served, but they never kept abreast of that change. This was already several years ago, so my recollection is a bit hazy now.
"He was still drinking 2L...(his entire fluid intake)"

Isn't that low? I drink at least a gallon a day, and more during summer.

I learned the hard way via kidney stone that low fluid intake is bad. After further analysis of the stone's makeup, my doctor's prescription for avoiding future stones was stay hydrated. I have followed that advice ever since.
If you would hire Elon Musk as CEO, he would substitute all the pilots by FSD beta version 2.3.4, and change all the airplane seats USB chargers for a Neuralink plug.

I think you're stretching to make your point here.

You can construct many "what ifs", but they mainly apply if the police are actively subverting the normal rules of law or incompetent.

There are a subset of cops who are corrupt, or racist, or classist, where merely interacting with the police can lead to serious outcomes, but that's sort of a different problem that has to be addressed more systematically.
Eugenics was always a politically motivated and highly contested topic. Many prominent scientists in relevant fields were opposed to it. It became popular, because nationalism used to be popular among the elite. Then it declined quickly, because WW2 made everything associated with nationalism undesirable in the West.
Reminds me of openscad - https://openscad.org/ but for circuits instead of shapes. Turning complex wysiwyg editor operations into reusable code is such an improvement, especially with the advent of usable LLMs to help with boilerplate.
Unrelated to DEFCON, Caesars (and MGM) also got hit with ransomware.

My wife was taking a shortcut through the boys' dorm (back when there were such things) and I was standing outside my door, using an extra long phone cord (bwtwst) while ordering a pizza with my shirt off (back when I regularly ran and lifted for fitness) because we didn't have air conditioning (bwtwst), and as she was wandering by she gave me a serious once over and smile in passing, getting a raised eyebrow from me. We met entirely accidentally a few days later at, well, a local pizza joint and laughed about the whole thing. That was 48 years ago and we still like pizza, though I have to spend a butt-sore load of time on the Ergatta these days to make up for it.

Advice? Think about and do more of what makes you happy and gets you out and about and go do that. Maybe you'll meet someone to share it with and maybe you won't but it will help your own perspectives.
I’m gay.
Its not plain and simple. As someone who has talked to people who actually do it, it’s much more common to be art-related and marking that someone exists than anything gang related. Maybe it used to be a certain way but it certainly isn’t strongly correlated now.
For this specific case, saturating_sub would work fine. The checked_sub way would need an additional `.unwrap_or(-1)`

Though of course you wouldn't need to do either because the usual way to write a Rust API that takes comparators is for that comparator to return std::cmp::Ordering, not a signed integer.

And if you do make a PartialOrd / Ord impl that isn't transitive, it is guaranteed by the sorting fns in libstd that sorting may be incorrect, but it won't be undefined behavior.

JS being abused as a compilation target is definitely not a long-term strategy for the web. Going forward we need less emphasis on JS and more on HTML and WASM.
Yeah I get how smartcards work, I'm talking about what can practically go wrong if the keys are kept in a secure enclave instead.
It's an interesting demographic problem: how do you encourage people to have enough children that the working-age population doesn't decline so quickly that we can't support our retired people and also have a wider effect on the economy? In the long run it's something that we'll have to deal with. China is starting to experience it.

I think that the populations of developed countries will start to decline, and a gradual decline is acceptable. We can't rely on immigration forever, presumably less rich countries will start to have less children too as they modernize.

As for first business, I built a very small network over 7 years working in house at an advertising agency (which did a lot of digital work) and some startups. While I was just an IC developer, because I could communicate with non-technical people well, I became the first point of contact for a lot of decision makers over time.

If you want to do solo technical consulting start making friends with non-technical people who are in leadership roles. It takes time but it does snowball.

Whatever your opinion of Elon is, it’s extremely generous to say he comes from an engineering background and just flat-out wrong to say he comes from the type of traditional engineering background relevant to companies like Boeing (the PE type of engineering).

If you approve of Elon as a leader, he is basically the embodiment of “you do not need to be an engineer to run a highly technical company”

Cardboard boxes can be acquired without a record of their purchase and are easy to hide among other cardboard boxes, like a book in a library. Also can be used to hide from enemies while moving around under the box.
SQLite has RECURSIVE, so you can generate a table with all numbers using something like:

WITH RECURSIVE
cnt(x) AS (
SELECT 1
UNION ALL
SELECT x+1 FROM cnt
LIMIT 5
)
SELECT x FROM cnt;

And then do a regular CROSS JOIN on that table.
Right. Flux was a handy little tool[1] that sync'd yaml manifests in git repos to live clusters. The concept was fascinating, and the tool was well done--small and efficient. Easy to learn.

In 2019, they announced they'd be "merging" with argocd[2]. It seems the merge never really took place, and after that they deprecated flux and announced flux2[3].

The sudden changes of course were a little confusing and perhaps not too well communicated.

The idea that you’re inherently better off having kids is nonsense as well.
Snap still isn’t consistently profitable right? So I guess in that sense it bucks the trend of tech layoffs from healthy and record profit companies.

It looks like it is getting close to profitability, if it shrinks staff enough it should be in reach?

Attempting to justify yourself by calling my statement weak, is equally weak. Move on.

It isn't "can be true", it is true. The whole article is about how the person is a "victim of SF's overly baroque permitting laws" AND had to fight to get the code changed, AND was successful in the end.

Android is probably a big part of the problem here as the eInk phone manufacturer doesn't have the ability to refactor Android for ultra low power usage.

Even so, getting it to shut down as much as eReader would probably be very hard if it needs to be able to receive incoming phone calls.
I agree, though I think in order to be fair, we need to do an apples-to-apples comparison.

Most people go into a car dealer expecting to haggle. For better or worse, we know they're going to screw around and so we're prepared to do battle. If you go into it with a different mindset, it can be pretty painless most of the time.

Walk in the door and offer them MSRP. Then fill out the DMV registration paperwork, give them your payment, and leave with the car. It won't be quite as smooth as Tesla because you're not pre-filling this out online, but it is still pretty painless.

During the pandemic this wouldn't work because the market was commanding premiums on available stock. That means mark-ups from dealers, but Tesla is hardly immune -- go look at what a Model 3 was priced at later in 2022. The difference is that dealers at least have -some- competition. Tesla just tells you what you must pay.
It happening to support a band or two used in NYC doesn't tell us much - we need to know all the cellular bands it supports, because even a 6 year old iphone doesn't support bands used in a lot of areas. Cell companies are now focused on 5G and a phone that doesn't support most US 4G frequencies, and 5G, is going to be increasingly hobbled.

Edit:

https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/344c59bb

Supports no UTMS (3G) bands, ten LTE bands and no 5G bands.

LTE-FDD 850 MHz (B5)
LTE-FDD 900 MHz (B8)
LTE-FDD 1700 MHz (B4)
LTE-FDD 1800 MHz (B3)
LTE-FDD 2100 MHz (B1)
LTE-FDD 2600 MHz (B7)
LTE-TDD 1900 MHz (B39)
LTE-TDD 2300 MHz (B40)
LTE-TDD 2500 MHz (B41)
LTE-TDD 2600 MHz (B38)

An iPhone 8, six years old, supports twenty five LTE bands.

According to Tmobile's website, they use the following bands:

4G LTE

Band 2 (1900 MHz)
Band 5 (850 MHz)
Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
Band 66 (Extension of band 4 on 1700/2100 MHz).

Extended Range 4G LTE

Band 12 (700 MHz)
Band 71 (600 MHz)

...and then the 5G/5GUC bands.

So the overlap would be B5, B1/B4, B39. No support for 5G. No support for UTMS, band 66 or extended range...so good luck using it in rural areas.
Shitty UPSes are the ones which does NOT ALLOW you to replace rhe battery in-situ while critical load is being applied without disruption of critical load.
No, it's not hard to test for. Military units test for it routinely.
At the SEAL/Delta/Army Special Forces level, the testing for that is insane.

Some companies used to do this. Around 1900, if you went to work for a major US steel company, you started out shoveling coal. Even if you were destined for management.
Japan Air Lines pilot training for new pilots involves a stage where they do grunt jobs in maintenance such as checking incoming part serial numbers.
In some cases (depending on your tax situation) other forms of bonds (municipal/state) may be better because of how or if they get taxed.
There is no reason to learn the language of every country you visit for a short vacation, though. You'll do just as well learning a something convenient in your own country. In the US, this would usually mean Spanish.

The AI answers the call and acts as a potential customer. They take on personas to simulate behaviors like difficult or reluctant customers. You then do your pitch, handle objections, etc. At the end you get a transcript that's 'graded' to show you where you could improve your sales approach.

And you're right, I'm not a sales guy. This project is for people like me who want a risk-free place to learn the basics of sales so that when I do talk to an actual human, I won't panic and freeze up like I always do.
If (huge if!) those screen shots are legit, then Anydesk was storing passwords in cleartext or equivalent; many of them are far too random to be bruteforced so quickly.

The last one, where both the domain name and password start with QR, makes me think the screenshots might actually be legit.
I like mistral:7b-instruct, yi:34b, and wizard-vicuna-uncensored:30b. I think the so-called "uncensored" models tend to work better for general purpose, but mistral and yi aren't available uncensored.

I have a M2 Pro 32G memory so I need to use 3-bit quantization to run mixtral: dolphin-mixtral:8x7b-v2.5-q3_K_S. In general I don't like to go below 4-bit quantization.
>In the UK, if I want to hire a car, I have to provide a code from a Government website which is tied to my driving licence.

Seems like convincing that website I am you would be the weak point here. I'd be more concerned about that than someone spoofing my id like they are doing here. Because in the future I could almost definitely prove they spoofed my id. Not so with accessing a website.
> Apple hasn't launched a first-gen product this limited in use since the original iPhone

- Apple Watch Series 0 was so underpowered it was borderline unusable.

It definitely doesn't seem like Apple minds launching way too early.
That's a huge premium for the E-ink screen.
Right. I wonder what their cost structure was like. $10 million in revenue is enough to support a decent-sized team.
Condé Nast is where awesome goes to die.
Relying on photos and signatures isn't ridiculous at all, we did that for decades and it served a purpose. What you are seeing is one government that is authoritarian on ID, and another that is prioritizing other things.

Of course the government databases via APIs is more secure, but that doesn't make everything else ridiculous.

Saying the US isn't modern because of this one thing is silly. The US ostensibly leads technological investment, has the an advanced military, puts rockets in space and recovers them, had the internet before most of the world, iPhone, all the software we all use the world over, the list goes on.
This seems quite plausible to me. My teen aged diet consisted of about that much black tea (English Breakfast, mainly) and buttered toast with Vegemite.

I stopped when my mum (a physician) pointed out that the number of tea leaves I was consuming (not deliberately, but casually) would probably cause oesophageal cancer. Perhaps she merely wanted me to vary my diet.
This is cool. Thank you for sharing.
For sure the goal! Our current component tool will find components that are available on JLC, in stock and to your spec, no more looking for resistor part numbers. The layout side is going to be exciting, we are just scratching the surface there.

Are you referring to the weak references or to interior pointers? What I've been surprised by over the years it that a simplified, perhaps slightly broken version of a language comes to Wasm first, then as features expand, more of the guest language features, libraries, platform, and ecosystem comes, piece by piece. CheerpJ claims to have a fully-featured JVM, and Google is fielding Java compiled to Wasm GC with pretty good results. Wasm is bringing these platforms over piece by piece; so far there haven't been few "boom, here's full Language X on Wasm" moments. Instead we're progressing quite incrementally.
What strength of earl grey tea? My grandmother never drank water, insisting only tea. But she drank seriously week tea, more like tea-flavored water. I've seen other people (brits) drink tea so dark it looks like coffee.

Do you have any hobbies currently? If so look around for places where you can do that hobby with others. I think the Meetup app is good for that. Another option would be finding or creating posts on your city subreddit or nextdoor app.

Don't have a hobby that is good to do with others? Find one. Don't be afraid to be bad at it at first, you'll get better at it overtime. This past year I picked up strength training and this spring I'm going to try rock climbing more. I was surprised by how much I enjoy strength training, going into it, I thought it would feel like a chore that would be difficult to keep doing.
I was an early adopter of VR. Original Quest, followed by Htc Vive followed by Valve Index, followed by Quest 3. Spent almost as much hours gaming and using VR as I do my regular computer.

I recently tried the Vision Pro at my friends house. Graphics are definitely a lot better. Hand tracking is better than Quest 3. Weight is definitely bulkier on out of all the headsets, but thats something that you get used to - when I first started gaming in VR, my neck was super sore, but after a while, you actually end up strengthening your neck and upper back, which ironically resulted in less headaches for me during the day.

That being said, Vision pro is nothing revolutionary. You either have to be a massive Apple stan or never experienced VR to begin with to find it amazing. Its a better iteration of the current VR headsets for sure, but just like the rest, its missing the point. The biggest problem in itself is that everyone is trying to mix VR and AR into one, which is the wrong way to go.

VR is way better with external tracking, because you can do things like full body tracking. In VR chat, Ive participated in a few events where people were teaching dance or martial arts, with trackers on hip, knees and legs, and it worked out quite well. Behind the back tracking is also useful for games. Of course the issue with VR is that the entry cost (including the space to play VR) is very high, so the community is VERY tiny.

AR on the other hand needs to be a very lightweight, low profile headset with transparent displays. I use my Quest 3 with passthrough sometimes when working with my hands, however the latency/resolution/bulkiness is noticeable. Vision does this better, but not perfect.

The rest of uses of AR/VR, like making calls, browsing, e.t.c is very much a novelty. Gets old quick.

My perfect device would be a lightweight pair of glasses, with a transparent display on one eye, with a low res display, usbc to my phone. The usefullness of that would be 1000 times what Vision Pro offers.

TLDR; get the Quest 3 if you wanna try VR. Otherwise hold out for a lighter, better AR system.
Yeah, I'm not an ML guy, but I was looking at the matmult.h header here, as well as the stuff in eltwise_unary and thinking there'd definitely be some more general purpose uses for this stuff.

How to use bad metaphors to explain software development
Ya OpenSCAD is great for in/cross project re-usable components.

The only issues I've had is how it outputs circular things for cutting - it does a series of polygons (configurable number), rather than an arc/circular - places like send-cut-send won't accept it, claiming it causes issues with their machines.
The main use for this is for websites with KYC requirements. You can generate a fake good enough to get past their automated (and human) ID checks so you can get an account that can't be traced back to you.
