You don't understand it because most, if not all, aren't arguing that Israel should "just take any attacks coming their way."

A response needs to be proportionate, and also one needs to account for the causes of the attack in the first place. People will point to things like Israeli expansion, mass surveillance, and other issues relating to Gaza as factors which need to be considered when discerning what is an appropriate response.

Now, what I just said is a very simplistic and slanted presentation, but it should suffice in demonstrating that it's not as simple as one side (the "good guys") who thinks Israel should defend itself and the other side (the "bad guys") who think Israel should allow itself to be wiped off the map by terrorists.

"Second, that comment implies that one way or another, a user-noticeable change must happen. It could very well be that the software is ideal for its user base as-is and no change at all is preferable to change for change's sake."

User-noticeable change is essential.

> There are of course some people who are genuine frauds. How can you distinguish between x calling y a fraud because x is a hater, and because y is a fraud? Look at neutral opinion. Actual frauds are usually pretty conspicuous. Thoughtful people are rarely taken in by them. So if there are some thoughtful people who like y, you can usually assume y is not a fraud.

I guess all those folks calling these guys "frauds" weren't "thoughtful" enough.

Synth players have studied and emulated timbres (and created new ones) since the pipe organ (an additive synthesizer). Many books have been written about timbre in electronic terms -- a combination of frequencies and amplitude envelopes that either sound to our ears like classical instruments, or like something else entirely.

I would go so far as to say understanding and selection of timbre is 50% of the work of a synth player.

I had LPG installed on my car last year. For the fuel prices in my part of Europe, I calculated it would pay for itself in less than 10,000km.

LPG is lot simpler than CNG or Hydrogen as the fuel can be stored at room temperature in liquid form at relatively low pressures. The tank pressure is around 10 bar / 150 psi, which is not much more than your home water supply. CNG is around 200 bar and hydrogen around 500 bar.

As an FPGA engineer that has developed custom monitors, I see no technical reason why an LCD panel cannot be driven with zero latency or buffering.

The national interest is really just the collective interests of the citizens of a country, and America has a lot of Jewish citizens.

As a more practical matter, there is significant amount of technology transfer between Israel and the US, and Israel also is also a friendly and militarily capable country in a region where America doesn’t have many allies.

Also, does America provide much aid to Israel? I don’t think they do.

That's because CSS layout was designed by people who thought "float" and "clear" were a good idea, tables were bad, and, when in doubt, make it Turing-complete and dump the problem on someone else.

2D and 3D tools get this right. CAD programs, game engines, and animation programs are all far better at positioning things. They have far better layout engines and constraint systems. This is really a constraint problem. Autodesk Inventor and Fusion 360 have good 2D constraint solvers, ones that can put something on a centerline, or parallel, or whatever, including curve tools. Webland never got that far.

> Meanwhile, more than one web developer has communicated to me in private that they hate CSS and barely understand it after years of using it professionally to make money

They barely even understand it?? I think the biggest problem with CSS is the same problem plaguing C++ and other older languages. Cruft. If there was proper versioning and pieces of the language were deprecated in favor of modern techniques, it would remove a lot of ambiguity. Heck, if there was a built-in linter that warned you about common errors that would be a massive upgrade!

The only bad part about CSS is that there’s a dozen ways to do everything.

With that said, any developer telling you they hate it probably hasn’t worked with the “state of the art” in other UI development. Go work with WPF, UWP, QT, ImGui, JavaFX, Swing, or any of the dozens of other desktop UI frameworks. Then, try to make a moderately complex style and apply it to several elements. It’s a PITA. I too hated CSS… but then I worked with WPF and JavaFX and lots of those other frameworks: and they gave me a fresh dose of perspective.

I’ll gladly take the ability to do everything a dozen different ways over the inability to do anything that strays from the happy path in the framework I’m using.

I believe the underlying cause is that the pay-to-learn model itself is not feasible because the value of a good teacher's time cannot be compensated without charging students and ridiculously high fee, and a student can't justify a high fee when the outcomes aren't guaranteed.

Colleges have worked in the past because the outcomes were more or less guaranteed (i.e. if you got good grades and graduated, you would very likely land a job), but even that is no longer valid (outside of regulated domains like medicine, law, etc.).

I predict we will see many, many more pay-to-learn companies, institutions fall in the coming years. ("fall" could also mean become irrelevant, and catering only to those that don't understand how the world has changed and still incorrectly think that such programs will prepare them well).

BloomTech, in order to survive, had no choice but to try and play the games they did, and mislead. It's a byproduct of not having a business that is viable.
You can keep believing this and being confidently wrong.

Seems like my point about plea deals blew past you. Repeat: Innocent people often plead guilty to lesser charges because they fear wrongful convictions for something more serious. The system is set up around this.

When wrongfully convicted, it's also very common to get denied parole because you don't admit to doing something wrong. From what I've heard it's very very hard to overturn a wrongful conviction, even in the presence of new evidence or signs of misconduct the system fights it at every turn.

You don't mention what skills you have and how much runway you have left. So it is impossible to give any specific advice. In basic terms start with what you can offer to do now and build upon that.
Here is a quote from Ben Katz [1], who wrote a dissertation on building the mini-Cheetah at MIT, before joining Boston Dynamics:

"The hydraulic legged robots from Boston Dynamics, starting with Big Dog, have
set the standard for the performance capabilities of modern legged robots. Hydraulic actuators tend to have high force density and high robustness to impacts, as impact loads are distributed over the large surface area of the hydraulic channels, rather than, for example several small gear teeth. Another compelling reason to use hydraulics, especially for high degree-of-freedom machines, is the relative ease of adding high-force degrees of freedom. For an electric motor driven robots, each actuator needs to be sized for its peak performance, which makes building systems with many degrees of freedom needing high peak power and force at all the joints (and especially at
distal joints) very challenging. With a hydraulic system, it is easier to build high-force distal links (ankles, wrists, fingers, etc) without adding significant mass and inertia to the limbs."

This is a simple example where it scores their frequency. If you scored every word by their frequency only you might have embeddings like this:

act: [0.1]
as: [0.4]
at: [0.3]
...

That's a very simple 1D embedding, and like you said would only give you popularity. But say you wanted other stuff like its: Vulgarity, prevalence over time, whether its slang or not, how likely it is to start or end a sentence, etc. you would need more than 1 number. In text-embedding-ada-002 there are 1536 numbers in the array (vector), so it's like:

act: [0.1, 0.1, 0.3, 0.0001, 0.000003, 0.003, ... (1536 items)]
...

The numbers don't mean anything in-and-of-themselves. The values don't represent qualities of the words, they're just numbers in relation to others in the training data. They're different numbers in different training data because all the words are scored in relation to each other, like a graph. So when you compute them you arrive at words and meanings in the training data as you would arrive at a point in a coordinate space if you subtracted one [x,y,z] from another [x,y,z] in 3D.

So the rage about a vector db is that it's a database for arrays of numbers (vectors) designed for computing them against each other, optimized for that instead of say a SQL or NoSQL which are all about retrieval etc.

So king vs prince etc. - When you take into account the 1536 numbers, you can imagine how compared to other words in training data they would actually be similar, always used in the same kinds of ways, and are indeed semantically similar - you'd be able to "arrive" at that fact, and arrive at antonyms, synonyms, their French alternatives, etc. but the system doesn't "know" that stuff. Throw in Burger King training data and talk about French fries a lot though, and you'd mess up the embeddings when it comes arriving at the French version of a king! You might get "pomme de terre".

I resisted having a phone at all until 2013. People were amazed even then.

I ended up getting one for development. It proved useful enough that I used it myself, but I've managed to limit usage to WhatsApp (and SMS), web reading (like HN now) and not much else.

Lots of Web stuff (especially financial stuff) requires 2FA so SMS is now more-or-less required.

People have learnt though that my phone is always on silent, and I mostly don't check it during the day. I don't have email on it, and I don't do social media. I treat it as "my device" not as an "interruption device".

Of course the joy of them is that for every person it's different. You can use it whatever way you prefer.
Science drives products, though. Very few people would be interested in a square inch of refined sand flipping electric charges between positive and negative, if it didn’t result in a yellow circular man eating dots and chasing ghosts.

Graphene shows some interesting properties, perhaps less widely marketable than video games, but time will tell. We’re still before the 8086 on that time scale.

For single atom thick gold? I dare not even speculate.

Though gold grabs extra attention due to its financial role, its over hyped in this particular regard. It doesn’t degrade and the global reserves can easily absorb some scientific research. All discussions of inflation and / or monetary value tossed completely aside

Ask HN: Can anyone suggest few open source projects for SaaS Boilerplate?
Hello,

I am going to work on my new SaaS product in React and Node.js(and Python). I don’t want to build basic feature like Auth, Teams and other basic functionality.

I am looking for open source projects with above features with MIT and Apache license.

No, the original Iridium paging service really is (was?) one way.

You had to manually update your paging location by dialing some number or by using a web interface when moving significantly, or link an Iridium phone to your pager, which would then automatically update the paging area (MDA) every time you made a call.

What you mean is probably Iridium SBD, but that’s a different, bidirectional service (also used for pager-like devices these days).
Well, to be fair, their base is probably pretty small right now.
You are absolutely right. And this is reflected in the choice of robots deployed in warehouses.

For example, Amazon uses hundreds of thousands of simple wheeled floor-jack like robots to move the shelves around [1], and they started doing this many years ago.

Meanwhile, they have only a handful of humanoid robots, on experimental basis, trying to decide if they are useful [2].

Yes, the one I did. Launch School (their Capstone program) is 1 year 18%ish ISA. Since, when I did it, 100% of my cohort got real-Dev jobs averaging 120k+, the school still got 20k+/student. They're the anti-lambda school in my book. If anything too modest in their marketing. Best decision of my life.
Same! I felt it'd be above my IQ-level, so networkx-ed it.

Here's another obvious solution:

pos = nx.spring_layout(G)
nx.draw_networkx_nodes(G, pos)
nx.draw_networkx_edges(G, pos)
nx.draw_networkx_labels(G, pos, font_size=10, font_color="white")
plt.show()

Thankfully it was my fastest solution (after day 1). After 25 days, I wasn't in the mood of spending hours post-xmas dinner solving convoluted riddles.

It's not an apples-to-apples comparison, but the Wii's CPU was 32-bit, 729 MHz, and single-core, and its GPU was a 243 MHz SoC. I briefly checked the Samsung Galaxy S lineup as a point of comparison, and it seems like the second one (from 2011) already smoked those specs. As for space, even without doing any modifications to the phone it's already about half the volume of this mini-Wii.

Of course that's really just sidestepping the challenge of "how small can you get an actual Wii".

That's a very good point to keep in mind. I've seen that go wrong!

There are lots of connectors out there where the pins never short. The tricky thing is finding ones that can be plugged and unplugged often, while still being small. I've misused USB B connectors for this purpose; it's not common enough for someone to have the wrong cable to plug in, yet very easy to solder and to get the parts. There are also some circular connectors (M5, M6) where the connector on the device is decently small and the bulk tends to be on the cable side.

With a small crimper there are even more compact options which still handle many mating cycles, like Samtec's various Tiger Eye product lines.
