I blame the employers for requiring these degrees. Skipping $10,000 worth of on-the-job training in favor of $100,000 of personal debt is unconscionable, but that's the way their incentives are structured right now.

(And if experience is any guide, fresh-out-of-college hires still require a mountain of on-the-job training. The time I've spent showing MsEE's how to use an oscilloscope is absurd.)
Don't a bunch of european nations have free speech laws and restrictions?
My general philosophy on this is clients will find ways to circumvent literally any special validation you are doing because they are vaguely in charge of their browser. Definitely use html form types, input, and pattern to attempt to ensure the user can't just do something wrong, but the backend needs to be the authority on what is actually valid. I like this unix style "strings as the universal data type" idea - it's not about how it happens, it's about the output. I honestly can't comprehend how something thought it was better to do `const validKeys = [NUMPAD_1, NUMPAD_2, ...];` and not `const validCharacters = '01234567890';`.
That whole EpiPen debacle springs to mind... I'm sure if you looked into it you'd find other examples of basic medicines being unavailable to large sectors of the population purely due to the cost.
The master branch is active and people use Eigen today. The Discord has maintainers that are still active. Not sure how it could be considered "dead"?
>and you could help them make that happen

Is "lifetime of debt" in the realm of "help make that happen" at this point?

At some point it's less an investment and more a very fancy splurge.

The worst part is that this isn't just some crazy expense revserved for Harvard. Tuition for ASU is 30k out of state. You're paying some 200k for your kid to go to a school reputed (or perhaps, used to be reputed) for its party scene? That's where this really starts to be untenable.
UC Berkeley is sure worth 40K a year. They call it “the people’s Harvard” for a reason.
I'm interested in this problem also!

I think there is a large overlap with projects that market/focus on offline-first experiences.

AFAIK this problem can be solved by:

1) Considering a client-side copy of the database that gets synced with the remote DB. This is an approach [PowerSync](https://www.powersync.com/) and [ElectricSql](https://electric-sql.com/) and [rxdb](https://rxdb.info/) take!
For the first two, they effectively use postgres CDC and then have a sync process that is provided for you. For rxdb I think you have to roll your own syncing but there is an interface for you to implement.

One difference between ElectricSQL and PowerSync (copied this from another [HN comment](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37600917)) -> `ElectricSQL uses “shapes” (currently a WIP feature) defined on the client to partition data, while PowerSync uses server-side “sync rules”. The sync rules approach allows data to be transformed and filtered using basic SQL queries, which [PowerSync] expect to scale well (benchmarks pending). PowerSync guarantees consistency over all synced data, while it appears like ElectricSQL only guarantees consistency within each shape. PowerSync also automatically adds and removes sync buckets when changes are made to either the sync rules or data, while ElectricSQL likely requires you to subscribe and remove shapes yourself.`

^ Please note that comment faced rebuttal from ElectricSQL.
On the same thread (6 months ago) , someone from ElectricSQL said this `Electric is designed to support partial sync, and so you don’t have to sync your whole dataset. (Note that this is feature is under development and not yet public)`

2) Another exciting entry is [Convex](https://www.convex.dev/) which supports reactive queries but it is not based on a well known existing DB like postgres, it's fully custom and new - but looks easy to get started with! They recently open-sourced their backend so you can give that a try.

3) [SurrealDB](https://surrealdb.com/features#connectivity) also supports realtime queries? but I haven't looked into this yet

4) [Triplit](https://www.triplit.dev/) Another option! Triplit is an open-source database that syncs data between server and browser in real-time but again, this not based on a well-known db like postgres, instead it uses another new solution. It is open-source, but I haven't tried it yet. Looks quick to set uo.

4) Yes, you can use supabase realtime/ postgres events to listen to changes in your db and refetch all your data as you said - not ideal but yep.

Other projects/technologies to look into include Debezium for CDC and also potentially using GraphQL subscriptions to keep your frontend up to date

See also: [Prisma Pulse](https://www.prisma.io/data-platform/pulse) which I looks something similar to Supabase Realtime. Supabase are in the midst of their announcement week. I have quietly hoping that they will launch an offline-first / realtime query feature soon. [This github issue](https://github.com/orgs/supabase/discussions/357) seems to tease it.

Best of luck with this! It's a super interesting problem and I'd like to know what you end up doing! :)

That's not only sad - it erodes public trust in democracy, and leads to a rise of populist parties.

I too took a non-traditional route. My employer paid for my degrees, and they reaped the benefits of that. The whole notion of "you have to go to college right after high school" is rather ignorant.
> but rather seriously legitimate academic right wing thought leadership to expand and challenge my thinking about the world. I honestly don’t know where to find it.

you won't find it, because there is none. it's ultimately "fuck you pay me", and it's a great deal if you're in the side saying "pay me". Or a rehash of the same Christian virtues that have have been repeated for centuries.

The point of conservative-ism is that it doesn't change. by definition you're not going to get expansion and growth and new.
I'd say Tesla is the leader or could quickly become the leader given their intense investment in FSD. If a car software can "understand the physical world" using vision Ai / neural nets, it shouldn't be out of the question to reoptimize that software for the rest of the "physical world". Especially when you need a whole lot less safety standards compared to a 3,000lb 70MPH vehicle. Hell, the Optimus engineers said they were considering doing the first demo on a road since the software was so similar lol.

With FSD 12.3.3 released, it's clear FSD is getting smarter and smarter. How many of those releases left until people trust Optimus to fold their laundry? 1.0 Optimius will still be pretty dumb, but could still be worth the price (especially with continuous software upgrades!)

The best resource I have found for “news” has been Andra Keay’s newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/comm/newsletters/710308591124398489...

In it she covers the latest and greatest robot news, with occasional commentary/perspectives.

However to more directly answer your question, you need to know/talk to someone in the industry at the moment. I am not aware of a single “spot” that gives an honest in depth appraisal of where we are.

From my experience there is a ton of new “hardware” coming out, not just in the humanoid space (Agility Robotics being imho the most “real”), but also in lower cost robot arms, end effectors, sensors, and compute.

Where things are harder to track is where we really are in the software realm. If you look at software driving this hardware, most of it is early stages. Perhaps TRL level 3 to 5 at best. The higher TRL is non-intelligent control software (that is based on decades of work). The newer, AI/Machine Learning/“Smart” software tends to only have limited roll out. At best it will be a startup at the relatively early stages, but more often then not it is still a researcher sitting at a University or a large corporations research lab. In either of those cases, you will see single to at most double digit examples of those systems actually doing work.

However, to your point, it is super easy to create a single (or even a series) of cool videos… it just takes one success in 100s of takes. It is harder to make something that will perform day in and day out and really change the industry/world.
I'm by no means an expert in the topic, but to share my take anyway: It seems to me like there's just diminishing returns in SIMD approaches. If you're going to organize your data well for SIMD use then it's not a far reach to make it work well on a gpu, which will keep getting more cores.

I imagine we'll get to a point where CPUs are actually just pretty dumb drivers for issuing gpu commands.

Right I'm not sure why this guy is blaming Brendan Eich for what sounds like both an ethics and business problem at Mozilla. If a single donor can bully your CTO out of the door over something unrelated to your mission you are a shitty organization.

I would do the same thing Eich did in that position. I don't agree with his opinion but I respect his right to hold it in an open society. Just another of Mozilla leadership's many bad calls over the years
A $180,000 at 7% interest would require monthly payments of ~$1,200 to pay down after 30 years. Even at 3% it'd still be ~$750.

I'm really skeptical of these types of articles because they don't tell the complete story about their finances and how they're spending money. In 2013 the median rent in Chinatown was ~$600, and the average salary for a resident was $55,000. After taxes that's roughly $3k/month.

The 'problem' with the EU is that even if you live in a country that values privacy, if 51% of the other countries don't, you're out of luck.

It's similar to how in the US you have people complain about the flyover states, though I'd argue that people from Spain don't think of people from Poland as even close to the same. The difference between the two peoples ideologies is fundamentally great.

But at the same time, the 49% did vote to join a union where this could happen so could you argue they must be fine with it? I don't know.
It's often cool to say that you're an independent thinker. Or to imagine that's true. But in almost every respect, the vast majority of people want to be sheep who fit into some herd or another.

The sciency-part of the article seems a bit thin, but... cooler transformers absolutely imply a more stable power grid!

A good while ago, I got hired as part of a team by a local grid operator to analyze all the data they could get from their new transformers. These transformers were deployed to neighborhoods, and could report, like, 200 operating parameters in real-time.

This was pretty cool! So we quickly created an infrastructure to collect all these stats and feed them into a then-newfangled Machine Learning model.

Said model exercised its perceptrons for a while, correlating all possible parameters against the probability of experiencing an outage, and then came up with <drum roll> transformer oil temperature as the only reliable indicator of failure.

Which was sort-of a disappointment to the grid operator, as they already knew that, but it enabled them to not pay the license fee for all the 200 new metrics, and just continue with the one they already had, albeit with a bit more focus.

Well, where "liberal art degree" often means "high-skilled labor". People struggling to pay off college debt includes:

- teachers and childcare workers

- special education and/or disability workers

- librarians

- social workers, therapists, mental health workers

- cnas, medical billing, and other heathcare admin

- and many more not listed above

People often seem to assume "liberal arts" translates to a fake profession, like "underwater basketweaving" or "economist" or something "silly". And while that's occasionally true, most folks with a Liberal Arts degree are hard-working career-oriented people, who society just pays terribly, arbitrarily, because they can. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_arts_education#Modern_...

For the record, I think that SJ was one of the most successful bulshitters that has ever walked the Earth. He could not only convince a room full of geologists that the world was flat, but also sell them all tickets on a boat ride to the edge.

It's just that he actually ended up (after numerous false starts), having an actual product. Several, in fact.

It's the entire point of the draft order Ars is criticizing:

> With the no-throttling rule, we ban conduct that is not outright blocking, but inhibits the delivery of particular content, applications, or services, or particular classes of content, applications, or services. Likewise, we prohibit conduct that impairs or degrades lawful traffic to a non-harmful device or class of devices. We interpret this prohibition to include, for example, any conduct by a BIAS [Broadband Internet Access Service] provider that impairs, degrades, slows down, or renders effectively unusable particular content, services, applications, or devices, that is not reasonable network management. Our interpretation of "throttling" encompasses a wide variety of conduct that could impair or degrade an end user's ability to access content of their choosing; thus, we decline commenters' request to modify the rule to explicitly include positive and negative discrimination of content.

I'm not based in the US to give you an accurate picture on this scene, most of it happens behind the curtains.

What I can say it's there has been always a movement to weaponize robotics in some way and this has gained interest from the market in the past few years specially with the Ukrainian and Palestinian wars. It takes time and a lot of money to polish an application like this, if there isn't a behemoth funding research and PD on this it will take a long time before it takes off, and I hope it never does.

A quote I once heard applies here. "All a preacher needs is 4 walls and the good book, and willing souls"

For most of school, all you need is paper and pens and a place where to meet. A notebook costs a dollar. You can also do quite a bit of lab science prior to college at home, and music only adds the cost of the instrument.

I have done tutoring in parks and coffee shops and in some of those sessions seen more learning than the most expensive classroom.

It's about the kids and the teachers, not the campus.

If you want a really really good school at a really low price, eliminate the building and all support functions other than hiring new teachers, and redirect all of the extra money to teachers salaries. Then just meet in libraries, parks, coffee shops, and the houses of parents and teachers.

99% of the outcome comes from the teachers (being competent) and the students (being motivated).
I'm gonna be rough here.

I think calling these things "components" feels wrong. Components are far more elemental than what these are; these are pages, or maybe modules.

Nonetheless, some of these "components" are quite bad [1]; it smells like AI was used to generate these? They run the gamut between bad enough that I wouldn't use them, or simple enough [2] that I wouldn't use them, and I'm not seeing a ton occupy the middle.

Let's see how we got here...

1 - Everyone says you need to have a degree to succeed

2 - the government guarantees tons of school loans

3 - schools raise prices because loans are so easy to get

4 - many student choose majors that have a negative return

5 - people suffer from student debt, but can't discharge it in bankruptcy

...

Huge economic impact ensues.

It took 5 steps to get here. We only need to change one to change this problem.

Tailwind is fantastic, but I do feel that Tailwind UI hasn't really delivered value for my needs. It's missing a lot of common components and dark mode versions of the ones they have. Catalyst is also no use to me. I use phx live view without a js framework.

Would have preferred to see more vanilla components as well. Looks like they are doing really well and hiring, so I'm hopeful.
Ridge Racer Type 4 from PS1. I find the story and pacing reasonably enjoyable (if you are not aiming to collect the secret car, that is), but what sets it apart from other games is its soundtrack. Each (music) track sets the respective mood and feel to the (racing) track, and even if you didn't play the game, the soundtrack is great in its own right. I also find the (racing) track's design in PS1 much better than the one used in PSP counterpart.
