The Something Wonderful Theory: Why I'm Optimistic Every Ordinary Day
There are so many different tools to help design and route PCBs now. You have DeepPCB, Flux, and Quilter doing auto-routing, and SKiDL, CuFlow, and JITX doing programmatic schematics (and also sometimes auto-routing?).

To be honest, I don't really understand how these tools are differentiated from one another. I personally know the Quilter guys, so if I had to pick I'd use their product, but I don't think the market crowding here is great for anybody.
The sine polynomial is bad because it's not written in a way that removes redundant multiplications.

Those redundant multiplications cannot be removed without fast math because floating-point operations are not associative.

There are well-known optimal ways to evaluate a polynomial, namely Horner's and Estrin's schemes.
i said "if a type has a constructor". but if you are fiddling around with ints and chars and the like, then you will need to initialise them. i have been writing c++ since the mid80s and have never found this to be a problem, or at least no more than it would be to use an uninitialised int variable in C.
Oh sorry, I didn't realise you were OP :) Thanks!

That's pretty good, I am considering going to Spain in 2026 and this helps with planning.
Absolutely, and I get the sentiment.

I'm not just using it to generate code, but asking specific questions. Even really basic stuff like, write me a Fibonacci number generator in X language. Helps me understand the syntax immediately. I can start from a place of familiarity. A lot of times when picking up a new language, the hello world stuff is kind of drawn out. Give me a program in Rust that generates 50 random numbers and sort it from smallest to biggest. Give me the basic framework for a Flask app, etc etc.

Or, I have an app that scrapes a website. What is the best architecture to put this into a database to reduce scraping the same thing multiple times?

I use it like a project manager/software architect/tutor in that order I think.

It massively reduces the friction to just getting things going.
Don’t necessarily need to build taller, if transit (not bad in Paris already) is brought up to Tokyo levels (meaning an order of magnitude greater than anywhere else) then you just build densely outwards.

How could they know that?

They might know how to design a language such that it tends to produce exceptionally readable codebases, good performance, and improved safety, though. Maybe not all three at once, but some mix of those that’s better than existing languages, perhaps.
I think we agree? The point is that a semiconductor fab (like a 747) is so highly automated that you don't need a bunch of low- or medium-skilled folks to drive forklifts; you need a few high-skills folks to design, monitor, debug & optimize the huge system(s).

It's not really an issue if the string you're matching might have those characters. It's an issue if the regex you are matching that string might need to match those characters verbatim. Which is actually pretty common with ()[]$ when you're matching phone numbers, prices etc - so you end up having to escape a lot, and regex is less readable especially if it also has to use those same characters as regex operators. On the other hand, it would be very uncommon to want to literally match, say, ⦑⦒ or ⟦⟧.
Obviously it is a list of AI sources that may be interesting - but I didn't contest that. I object to snark. Not to whether a person has an overall positive or negative view on AI.

https://huggingface.co/datasets/P1ayer-1/books-3/discussions...

It seems incredible to me to suggest that piracy wasn't involved in the collection of training data, regardless of your view on the morality or legality of it. Datasets like books 3 indisputably contained copyrighted content that was being distributed without permission from the rightsholder. That's just the definition of piracy. If we can't agree on that then I'm not sure what we're doing here.

More materially to this discussion, yes, it would absolutely make a difference if the AI was only trained on licensed content. I wouldn't use it but I wouldn't have a problem with it. The issue is specifically that much of the work being used without permission is being used to replace the people who made that work, and is being used without permission. If the model is based on ethically acquired data, it would be less able to reproduce the style of specific artists. Imo, there would be more room for both kinds of art in this case.

I'm also aware that it's not a clear cut case legally but I think AI advocates and tech enthusiasts think it's a lot more likely that AI will win in court than the actual chances. Napster took years to litigate and was eventually shutdown. There's a really good discussion about this on the decoder podcast between actual lawyers.

I don't care whether its useful so much as if they are being annoying/misleading about it.

Take for example https://thisanimedoesnotexist.ai/ (chosen randomly from the list). Is it useful? No (or at least not to me. I suppose there probably exists some audience for this sort of thing). However its not pretending to be something its not, so its also not problematic. Nobody goes to that website thinking they are getting hand drawn anime only to be baited & switched.
No snark intended but I think image generation is probably the least interesting thing AI is doing these days. It's a tutor in a box.
I understand what you mean. This will be most problematic if you downgrade far in advance of the renewal date, especially if you are on the yearly cycle. We'll look into improving that process.

Downgrades are trickier for Obsidian than for cloud-based apps because Obsidian is end-to-end encrypted and stores files locally. We also have to deal with different client versions. Deleting files on the server could cause the Sync client to think these deletions should be applied locally. Therefore we put it in the hands of the user to set up the account so that it is ready for the downgrade.

But yes, this process could be smoothed out a bit. The growing pains of going from one to two plans :)

This is of course a false dichotomy, there's nothing pseudo about using bash (perhaps you mean sudo?) and bash scripts orchestrate what you call 'actual' programs.

I commonly write little python scripts to filter logs, which I have read from stdin. That means I can filter a log to stdout:

cat logfile.log | python parse_logs.py

Or filter them as they're generated:

tail -f logfile.log | python parse_logs.py

Or write the filtered output to a file:

cat logfile.log | python parse_logs.py > filtered.log

Or both:

tail -f logfile.log | python parse_logs.py | tee filtered.log

It would be possible, I suppose, to configure a single python script to do all those things, with flags or whatever.

But who on Earth has the time for that?

Citation definitely needed.

In my opinion, cheap credit (i.e. low interest rates) is the primary culprit. It has created an awful lot of 'artificial demand' for properties as investments as opposed to demand for properties to be used as homes. In most markets I look at, the proportion of underutilised properties has been rising (second homes, short term rentals, land banking, etc).

Here in NZ the sharp rise in interest rates caused a sudden and significant increase in homes available for sale and homes available to rent. Where did they come from?

This looks interesting, as a hobbyist with a EEE background and a programming career I like the idea of designing circuits using code.

But maybe I'm not the target audience here... pricing seems high for anyone who is not using this commercially (and at scale). $1000 per month (or $60 a day, which I don't really understand the utility of).
Numba is great but missing explicit simd, stack allocated arrays, and user defined types, to name a few things. I tried to keep my colleagues in Jax these days.
Agreed.

Luminaries like that also have their hobby horses and grievances that may color their writing. The editors are people doing a lifelong work of curating all kinds of information, including through primary sources such as papers in peer reviewed scholarly journals, such as those written by the contributors you mention. So it stands to reason that there is a core contributed by a leader in their field at the time, which is subsequently maintained by the editors and contributors.

> It is a net good for the economy [for individuals to improve their lives]

I agree. If you've just inherited $25 million, it would still be better for you and for society for you to get a job--even a job paying $50k a year if that is all you could get.

But...are you going to be incentivized to do so?

If you care about somebody not wanting to make $50k because they'd lose a $10k subsidy, how much MORE should you care about a $25 million subsidy disincentivizing somebody to improve themselves and contribute to society as a productive citizen.

> Trust fund babies are far more rare than people making ~$50k

That just means that imposing enough inheritance tax to incentivize them to work wouldn't effect enough people to have a negative effect on the economy. And lets not forget, the person being taxed is dead. They will feel absolutely no ill effects from the tax. Its all upside.

Not Trolling here. I advocate a 100% inheritance tax, the proceeds of which should be dedicated to education, nutrition, and housing for the next generation, to achieve the following goal: Equal ability should be given equal opportunity to succeed.

And just giving free money to one kid and nothing to another is the absolute diametrical opposite of that.

> why massless?

Meaning, why is the spin-2 field massless? The easiest short answer is, because gravity is a long range interaction, and only massless gauge bosons can give you a long range interaction. That's why electromagnetism is also long range (the photon is massless) but the weak interaction is not (W+, W-, and Z are massive).

The strong interaction, unfortunately, breaks this simple heuristic (the gluon is massless but the strong interaction is short range), because it has other factors involved which aren't as easy to explain. But we know that those other factors don't come into play with the spin-2 field model of gravity, so we can still safely say that the graviton should be massless.

> If I understand GR correctly, the gravitational field itself (especially in the form of a gravitational wave) has energy

Only in a certain sense, which is...

> and therefore contributes to the mass-energy tensor, further bending spacetime.

...not this sense. The stress-energy tensor does not contain any "gravity" contribution. In the Einstein Field Equation, "gravity" is on the LHS, represented by the Einstein tensor, and "mass-energy" is on the RHS, represented by the stress-energy tensor. That has to be the case in order for local conservation laws to hold.

What all that means is that there is no valid local concept of "energy stored in the gravitational field" (because there is no tensor quantity that corresponds to this). But globally, you can still look at a system that emits gravitational waves and come up with a meaningful concept of "total energy" that decreases with time as gravitational waves are emitted. (This concept is called the "Bondi energy".) So we can say that "gravitational waves carry energy" in this sense. We just can't localize where that energy is.

A good first step to the chicken and egg problem. Living in Wisconsin I have never seen an electrical charging station.

>Local government entities and state agencies would not be allowed to operate public charging stations but could run their own stations to charge their vehicles.

I'm confused at why this was included in the regulation. Would companies really refuse to build stations without this stipulation? It reminds me a lot of telecommunications companies lobbying hard against municipal and related telecommunications services.
It wasn't just intel, it was every semi-conductor manufacturer in the valley (hence the inability to find other work).

They closed because it was cheaper to build in other countries, or to outsource from contractors who build in other countries (where organized labor doesn't exist). The U.S. lost thousands of high-paying (and tax-paying) labor positions and atrophied the skills that went with them. Intel profited from it.

These people were disproportionately minorities, disproportionately well-represented by unions, and had made a lot of progress in improving their working conditions re: use of terribly corrosive chemicals. All of that backslid when labor went off-shore.

Now, the taxpayer has to pay Intel $8.5B to bring back manufacturing capacity to the U.S.; nice job, if you can get it. It'll be really interesting to see who takes these jobs, and how quickly we can rebuild the muscles that Intel shareholders profited from decomposing.

Particularly when considering how small the amount going towards space is, which in the US, Congress is all too eager to pare down even further.

I've only launched B2C myself, but I've worked at B2Bs.

The thing is that B2C product is generally cheaper and have higher churn, and you have to go much wider for marketing to get to user levels that can cover operating costs.

B2B on the other hand, if you can cut their costs significantly you can ramp up the price and break even maybe even with a handful of clients. Tho with forever subscription you kinda have 100% churn, so you'll depend on getting new customers in all the time.
This isn't a commentary on AI, but specifically the idea that all you need to achieve is "it works". That's based on the fallacious premise that a human can reasonably bucket a program (especially one as complex as an end-user application) into "working" and "not working". You don't know it's "not working" until you know, which may in some cases be never.

As for AI specifically, robust testing is already difficult with human-curated logic. It's potentially more likely to miss failing cases, or non-binaries (e.g. performance, security), when testing genAI. More subjectively, your conjecture represents a mindset that is demotivating to people with certain flavors of creativity/passion. Also, overreliance on AI may blunt skills that may remain useful, and even important - i.e. it may exacerbate an expertise scarcity.

(this may make me sound more negative on AI that I am - remember that I'm commenting in the context of the post you're replying to)
