Just found out about your podcast and I quite enjoyed learning how esp-idf came about. Great content!

> James talks with Scott Mabin about how he joined the Espressif team and got involved in embedded Rust, the working culture in chip manufacturing companies and preferences about designing and building mechanical keyboards.

This is the part that is going to be fascinating.

Is Apple going to build their own version of a full frame / medium format sensor in order to improve the low light performance over the next decade. Because that would have major implications for the photography industry if that were ever to appear in an iPhone.

I thought the same until visiting Kyoto and Rome in August.
I’ve used Jupyter notebooks with deno decently. They seem much better than Python Jupyter notebooks because of the lack of pain around dependency management.
Alan Kay probably doesn't think so since C-inspired languages and their offshoots remain popular. Or the predominance of text editors and files.
Because Bitcoin is useless? At least analytics can provide value for businesses and can help improve their product, or be notified if something goes wrong.
Part of the reason military equipment is so very expensive is the labyrinth of requirements and verifications. Military contract work suffering from the same problems would require a lot of straight up fraud and document forging which is different that what seems to be happening to the commercial unit which is more laziness and corner cutting. Like there is a MIL-SPEC for pop-tarts that specifies how much filling there is and frosting coverage (finding stupid MIL-SPECs was great fun as a group of interns at Lockheed Martin, also reply-all email chains of memes which started causing outlook server problems before we were gently encouraged to stop)

The FAA shares a lot of blame for these problems by being negligent in their verification duties and delegating them to the companies they are verifying.
I agree with you in principle. However, I've had occasion to deal pretty often with elderly friends and family lately, and there's a clear problem there. Many of us lose a lot of our ability to think critically or recognize the latest scam flavor when we get into our 80s (or thereabouts). I've seen it repeatedly. People I know who are smart, who had careers as engineers, accountants, etc.
I'm 45. I don't do any of the things you're talking about doing outside work. I also have a wife and 4 kids. There's just not time. I don't feel bad about it either. I hate that I have waste so much time on this boring computer stuff to pay my bills, but otherwise, I'm spending my very limited time how I want to be spending it.

When I hear about people doing something like a Rust project for fun outside of work I assume they either have zero social life or are very young.
I'm building a spaced-repetition flashcards language learning app, that generates sentences and explanations for a given word.

Unfortunately only for German, but I plan on expanding the languages soon.

https://vokabeln.io

Tech stack:
- The app is in Flutter.
- Backend I'm nodejs TS.
- GPT4 for generation of sentences and explanations
- GCP text-to-speech for audio

Yeah that’s an interesting aspect. We did implement a viewer very early on. And we then removed it from the project.

What we discovered is that:

- making a visual viewer is a non trivial endeavor. It takes a lot of time but the value add is marginal for an average viewer.
- people tend to spend a lot of time making the viewer look good instead of improving the circuit

We think that in the long run, a viewer could be awesome to inspect what is going on or get a general understanding of the circuit. But it’ll be difficult to justify the time spent on it early on in the project.
Pretty similar in concept, a few important nuances that come with building boards in the real world. For example dealing with tolerances. The language is definitely an important part of this, but we think alot of the surrounding infrastructure like package managers, CI pipelines and SPICE integration will be critical also.
You may have misread my comment, I'm on safe languages team.

I'm complaining about the people that start projects in unsafe languages in exchange of a thin performance boost, and then blame the compiler/runtime maintainers for their own code being unsafe in exactly the ways the spec says it can be unsafe to give them such an extra boost.

Personally, I think all remaining C and C++ projects should consider either rewriting in a safer language or adopting additional tools to prove (not just test) the lack of undefined behaviour. Trying to compromise is just giving us memory safety CVEs one after another.
This is really cool, and love that it's open source. Congrats!
Just a little more context: Jumprun let's you connect different data sources (like web searches/pages, APIs, X, Youtube videos, Notion etc) and use LLMs to analyze and visualize the data.

We support rich components like tables, timeseries, charts and maps. We're working on automations at the moment so that you can provide natural language conditions that trigger actions (like sending you an email or changing updating a page in Notion).

Our long-term vision is that canvases become more interactive and interconnected, so that you end up building mini applications without it feeling like you're using a low-code app builder.
"Significant Other", i.e. romantic partner (typically in the context of a long-term committed monogamous romantic relationship).
I think describing Elon as a small-e engineer (not designing powertrains, but at least understanding them) is accurate, and saying that an an engineering-first mindset is important for companies like Boeing and SpaceX would ring true. Engineering background is different than engineering mindset.
I don't think any of those text-to-sql models are solving the right problems. The hard part is not syntax or I don't know how to write a group by query. Most data scientists and engineers spend more time on understanding the meaning of the data. One cannot simply look at a 50 columns table in Snowflake and guess what columns are by their names. For example, we have 10 columns in one tables, all named ...price. We have to go to wiki to find the actual meaning or read the DBT definitions. I cannot trust any queries that models produce because they don't understand the data; they only understand the query syntax.
the first time I saw this, years ago, I went down a youtube rabbit hole for hours.

TL;DR - the video is a lawyer and a cop both saying don't talk to police, even to be helpful, and they back it up.

You should watch it. Your loved ones should watch it. Your friends should watch it.
I would say the blessing isn't even in disguise. I've gone twice, in 2017 and last year, and last year the crowds in the main hallways and village lines were suffocating and I'm not usually claustrophobic. An extra couple of hundred thousand square feet is a big deal and should have happened regardless. I just feel bad for the folks who have to make it happen in 7 months.
> The purpose of these interrogations is to secure the conviction, not to discover the truth.

People really need to internalize this when it comes to their interactions with the police (and ultimately when it comes to their obligations as voters). After an investigation starts, the police's one and only job is to put someone in prison. Not to solve the case. Not to get to the truth. Not to promote some notion of justice. It's to get a conviction and that's it.

Choosing to talk to the police "because I have done nothing wrong" or "because I want to be cooperative" or "because I think they'll go easier on me if I do" are all terrible choices. When they are talking to you they have a single goal: To convict you.

Either we as a society make it change while we can still save something, or it will change by force and it will hurt us really badly.
If no one has lived in the vacation home for five years and it’s currently hosting squatters, then yes I would call that abandoned.
Didn't the democratic party just outright state that they could choose who they wanted without any input from the people and had no obligation to run a fair primary election? They went to court to defend their right to keep choosing candidates picked via meetings in smoke filled back rooms
GPT-3 doesn't even manage the first few steps of the tested text adventure.
And GPT-4 is not good at playing these adventures either.

However, my code run a newer version of the Z-machine. So Zork and many other text adventures will work. I have not tried many other games though.
I do all my studying on the PC except for math classes. For those I use an iPad and an apple pen and it works much better that way.
Yep, but it seems they learned something from the experience?

Hopefully it will be closer to how Go does it.
> into opposition from religious fanatics

Or opposition who know just how many times national IDs have been used as a tool for oppression and murder.

Hint: a lot. Not just in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, either.

The Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda look pretty much the same, and even speak the same language. Rwanda had a national ID card system that identified which one you were, which made matters much simpler for the genocidal murders.

South Africa had "passbooks", used to enforce the infamous "pass laws".

And so on.

Dismissing those concerned about privacy as "religious fanatics" is both unfair and incorrect.
Pierer Invests Millions in Sepp Hochreiters xLSTM
Pierer invests many millions in Sepp Hochreiter's LLM alternative architecture. Shortly before Christmas, the company NXAI was founded in Linz with Albert Ortig as Managing Director. Its task: to market Hochreiter's XLSTM.

Can xLSTM really compete with Transformers, Mamba etc.?
I like this. I tried something similar ~10 years ago, but it didn't go very well. I'm sure an LLM can do much better than the nonsense I hacked together.
I'm going to assume you live west of the Cascades... east of the Cascades I drink like a fish because the air is so dry.

There’s also Rust’s half-measure of overflow in release mode, panic in debug mode.
This is unrelated to CVE-2023-6246 (which 2 of your links are about), other than that it piggy-backed on the embargo date.
In ISO C17, 7.2.5/4 has the relevant verbiage:

"When the same objects (consisting of size bytes, irrespective of their current positions in the array) are passed more than once to the comparison function, the results shall be consistent with one another. That is, for qsort they shall define a total ordering on the array, and for bsearch the same object shall always compare the same way with the key."
No shame in missing something local among all the exotic red flags, but how does a person consume 4-5 liters of green tea per day to 'detox' while literally in a hospital? Isn't a fluids/diet survey part of admittance?

It's been a bit since my dad was in a hospital, but they wanted to know about literally everything that entered his mouth.
I only drink green and oolong teas, but another commenterr pointed out to a study that it might've be flouride content of the tea
I imagine writing a book where you know the ending (not just the final scene, but the whole complete solution to the plot) beforehand is so boring, it would make writing the damn thing impossible. I mean at that point it's pretty much a coloring book. You came up with the shapes, for sure, but still.

I think you've just explained exactly why we are unlikely to see any resolution to this problem. A lot of people think we need to see the taxes that go to the government so we can get mad about it. See also Grover Norquist. The consequent pain and suffering is a feature.
Ask HN: In NYC a week from 26th Feb. Any suggestion for tech events/trainings?
Hi HN,

A bit of a long shot but maybe I'm lucky! For personal reasons, I will be in NYC from 26th of Feb until 2nd March. I want to take the opportunity to attend tech events to network or take trainings available in the city that might be worth pursuing. As for my background, I'm a Software Engineer (primarily writing Ruby on Rails)/Engineering Manager (based in Amsterdam, NL), previously worked at GitHub before becoming a freelancer/consultant and now trying to grow my business as a consultant in the areas of Engineering management, tech leadership and high performance engineering teams.

Does anyone has suggestions of events or trainings happening that week (or that happen to be recurring) that I could attend on that particular week?

Thanks!
Mini V8-Powered Drill Sounds Like a Corvette in the Palm of Your Hand
We were each dating other people, friends who shared a rental house, and met each other at one of their parties. After several years of casual acquaintance, other relationships having come and gone, we each happened to find ourselves single, and went out on a date. It was a great success; years later, we have a nice house and a little family, and we are quite contentedly in it together for the rest of our lives.

On the other hand... when I was just a couple years older than you are, I went to a Halloween rave at an abandoned school; after a couple hours' dancing, I sat down for a breather, struck up a conversation with the woman who happened to be next to me, lost track of time, fell madly and more or less instantly in love, and spent the next several years struggling through a whirlwind of high drama and occasionally-violent chaos culminating in a devastating divorce. ::shrug::
Checking the volume of my go-to mug… I’m not far off that 4L/day. Definitely 3.

Get rid of the commute. Waste of your life right there. Either move closer to work or find another job that lets you work remotely or closer to where you live.

Get a job that lets you learn at work. I don't really need to learn much at home because I learn so much at work.

Don't socialise. Seriously. Whether this is a good idea or not is up to you. But you merely asked how to find time to learn.
I hate to have to ask this but how do you manage healthcare being a solo s-corp? I was under the impression this could only be done through a company if two unrelated family members owned the company? The only other alternative is "Obamacare"? I could be totally wrong.
like many things, there are some pretty significant unintended consequences though. In my district in Texas, parents would send their kids to the worst high school in the district because it was dramatically easier to be top 4% and get auto-admit to UT that way
No mention of all the long complex design documentation before you did anything either. All those things you mention are individually more valuable than the formal design documents I used to have to write before doing programming.

Note that my team gave up on "Story Points, or Sprint Retros, or Poker Planning or T-Shirt Sizing" years ago.

I still do estimates at times, but they are in days since that is really what everyone wants anyway. Likewise I still do design documentation but only the amount that is needed, and the design is very different from those formal documents we used to have.
50 hours? To fly an airliner you need way more than 50 hours. This isn't bouncing around the circuit in a Cessna. Boeing sells aircraft for use by airlines. Short of a handful people who own their own, to fly an airliner you need to be employed by an airline. You generally need something more like 1500 to 3000 hours before an airline is going to trust you with their equipment.

I regularly consumed in excess of 1g of caffeine during my early to mid 20s, either via coffee, green tea, black tea, or mate, or mixtures thereof. I don't think 1g is a very rare dose?
I absolutely love this idea.

Most high-level sales people rely on role play partners but that requires a pretty a big commitment. This would make a great product, imo.

Also (tip): Study, memorize and internalize a sales script for your product/service...along with the objection handlers and closing questions. Practice every single day. You'll gain massive confidence because you know exactly what you are going to say, every time.
uuid_generate_v1mc() from the uuid-ossp extension uses a randomly generated mac, so no leakage and entropy is increased. The timestamp portion is a feature IMO, not a bug. It prevents index and page thrashing in Postgres. (Also doubles as a "created_at" field, but that's getting "tricky".

Obviously clients should use this variant as well if you're using v1.

There are a number of descriptors that all tend to mean the same thing for the spectrum of writing styles at play here:

- Discovery / Outline

- Pantser / Plotter

- Gardner / Architect

Those labels apply to the extremes of either technique, and writers often fall somewhere more to one side or the other. Stephen King is a discovery writer. It's why his endings often fizzle. Brandon Sanderson is an outliner, which is why his novels tend to have a recognizable escalation to what fans have taken to calling "the Sanderlanche."

There's no right way to do it, and it really depends on what works for the writer.
Personally I'm happy with modern CSS using variables and nesting natively. The bundling step isn't necessary for the vast majority of usecase IMO.
I met my ex-wife during a visit to a customer site.

I used to work for a medical device company. We worked closely with a chain of local clinics, early users of our products. One of the therapists there was having trouble with a dosimetry system, and she would call me up for help. "That box is broken again", she would say. She always called the system "that box". Usually it was just a user error, but on one occasion there was a genuine hardware problem, so I drove down to the clinic to fix it.

When I walked into the clinic with my armful of equipment, there was a tall beautiful redhead working at the front desk. She looked at me, and seeing that I did not look much like a cancer patient, she asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm here to fix your box", I said.

She smiled at me, glanced down, and said, "I'm pretty sure that mine is working fine."

She guided me to the back where the therapist was messing around with the dosimetry system. Over the next hour, while I fixed the system, the attractive redhead from the front desk kept sneaking back to talk and flirt with me. As I was finishing up, I tried to think of a good way to ask her out. She walked up to me, shoved a piece of paper in my hand, and cutely ran away. On the paper was written her phone number and 'You better call me'.

I wish I had advice to give. Meeting Kim was pure luck for me.
That recovery is much easier though, it is using the device as intended.

And of course, rm just unlinks, doesn’t actually delete, so even going a step further and recovering deleted content is hardly magic.

This is more like if, sometime in the future, they somehow successfully reconstructed a snapshot of our computers’ volatile memory by examining the power supply, or something ridiculous like that.
Is the hydration the problem here? I presumed the caffeine content (or some other chemical; I guess other people cite bergamot?) was the issue. My Google searches seem to suggest 2L – 4L of Earl Grey works out to about 400 – 800mg of caffeine/d, which is "pushing the upper daily limit" to "way over a sane daily limit".

I didn't think the hydration was the issue at hand in the OP.
I am currently building an automatic book generator of Rust source code, in which the LLM will write the description of the code of a whole Rust project. It will be a bot, which will connect to the website, generate descriptions, download them, and create the book. It is very early in the project, 3 days in, but it's going well.

But generating a table with all numbers was just a throwaway example of the LATERAL JOIN syntax/use, and (hopefully) not what you'd actually use it for in the real world.

It's not clear to me that (mathematically) a lateral join can be reduced to a recursive cte (and if the performance of a recursive cte would be acceptable for the cases where it does work as a substitute).
It's not yours?

Perhaps the happy lambs don't know they're in a herd, happily eating the clover.

There's an old tale, about the Arkansas Razorback, not the team, the animal. How it's wily and fierce and cannot be captured. About how you can capture them, pen them up, if you do it by tiny increments.

Anyway, sometimes it all comes to a head and I vent. Have maybe more perspective than some, remembering the time before all those things were true.
