Since it seems like I’m the only person that seems to have ever bought one, wanted to mention the AirQ[0] as a thing that exists!

It’s got the PMSA003 which doesn’t seem to be used by anything else on that list, though I’m guessing from a quick glance at the spec sheet is substantially similar.

Part of why I went with this one was because it was relatively open. They do offer a cloud service and things most people would expect, but the device will work out of the box with no account or internet connection. Mobile app works too. It stores some historical data on the device so you still get nice graphs and charts.

If you punch the device’s IP in a browser it gives you a page back where it dumps all the data back at you. There’s an actively maintained Home Assistant integration.

All the sensors are replaceable. Or swappable if you decide you would really rather measure something else later. (Don’t know about buying the component and soldering it on yourself, but they sell the sensors on the little daughter boards that can be swapped.)

Only real downside I can think of is… it’s not particularly cheap.

Mostly just mentioning it in case it ends up on some of those charts later. ;) Biggest challenge with any of these measurement devices is… I have no reference to compare to or any way to evaluate the accuracy. (Lemme tell you about the time I tried to measure the humidity around here… I now own a psychrometer as a reference device since I figured that’d be pretty hard for any manufacturer to fuck up _too_ badly.) I’d definitely be curious to see how it stacks up.

SUPER offended you put “a brain capable of second order thinking” in the middle of the list. And your brain is probably offended, too! I more see humans as gangly hairless apes who walk weird but managed to evolve inference, not finely tuned machines — but to each their own!
That is the beauty of roundabouts, they work regardless of the time of day, and on some where there is a need for more regulation you can still add lights before the roundabout.

I use ChatGPT in particular to narrow down options when I do research, and it is very good at this. It wouldn't be far-fetched to feed it a map, traffic patterns and ask it to do some analysis of "what is the most likeliest place to hit"? And then take it from there.
It's not 5x redundancy in that sense. There are times when the ship needs all five auxiliary engines. There are five smaller engines because it allows for more efficient utilization.

The main engine, which provides the propulsion, is a two-stroke engine connected directly to the propeller shaft. If the ship needs to reverse the engine is stopped, and started again going the other way. Consequently, there's no way to make use of some sort of fall back propulsion.

Lastly, I doubt a 1000 HP engine is powerful enough to do anything useful. Especially because it would only be needed for emergency maneuvering.
Yes, because those cases are fortunately rather few. And usually (far!) fewer than in places with less democracy. So it seems plausible that they were caused by not enough (or otherwise "bad") democracy, not too much of it.

LLM's will of course also be used, due to their convenience and superficial 'intelligence', and because of the layer of deniability creating a technical substrate between soldier and civilian victim provides - as has happened for two decades with drones.

That is valid for any centralized service in general. Fun fact: I am working on something in that field in my spare time(whenever I have both time and motivation) and I opted for LoRa instead specifically for that reason, even though it comes with a wide range of limitations: payload, range is determined by line of sight, no multiplexing and all that. But did make some real world testing late last year and the range I got was REALLY impressive. Easily 20% above what the manufacturer had put in the spec sheet - 12 and a half kilometers with an off the shelf dev board.

Excerpt:

>Aviv Kochavi, who served as the head of the IDF until January, has said the target division is “powered by AI capabilities” and includes hundreds of officers and soldiers.

>In an interview published before the war, he said it was “a machine that produces vast amounts of data more effectively than any human, and translates it into targets for attack”.

>According to Kochavi, “once this machine was activated” in Israel’s 11-day war with Hamas in May 2021 it generated 100 targets a day. “To put that into perspective, in the past we would produce 50 targets in Gaza per year. Now, this machine produces 100 targets a single day, with 50% of them being attacked.”
Well sure, but whatever extra step you use to encode you will also need as an extra step to decode.
Note tough that libstdc++ has an ABI compatible debug mode that still adds a significant amount debug checks (and it is meant for production deployment).
Agreed - it's good to have some far thinking innovation but really that can be acquired as needed so you really just need a few people with their pulse on innovation which there will always be more of outside a given company than within it.

Right now it's all about reducing transaction costs, small-i innovating, onboarding integrations, maintaining customer and stakeholder trust, getting content, managing stakeholders, and selling.

They used to launch products at Google IO, then over the years it shifted into previews (some of which didn't eventuate, like Duplex), and now it's just demos of stuff they might turn into a product one day.

There is no such requirement. You seem to be conflating a verification email address with the recovery one. The verification email address is sometimes required upon signup, but is not tied to the particular account, and also hashed so we don't have access to it: https://proton.me/support/human-verification. Therefore, we cannot share it with any third-parties (authorities included).

Recovery address (which is what this case is about), on the other hand, is completely optional, and it's not the only option we offer for account recovery: https://proton.me/support/set-account-recovery-methods. Also, it is removed from our systems as soon as you remove it from your account.
FWIW, Chris Arnade of "Walking the World" fame has a few things to say about planning in the Netherlands:

There is almost a complete lack of anything that feels commercial mixing with anything that feels residential, beyond especially designated spaces, usually the very center of town.

These suburbs are not conventionally pretty, certainly not in the way downtown Amsterdam, Haarlem, or Leiden are. They are both monotonous and discordant, because the Dutch have perfected an architectural style of varied repetition. They will build twenty to fifty of the exact same weird thing, then next door build a hundred to two hundred of a very different weird thing.

While they can have very clashing outward appearances, they are united in a utilitarian practicality with a focus on providing almost everyone an elementary apartment.

The result of this is that there are two very different urban Netherlands — the older downtowns, with exquisite row homes along canals, medieval churches, cafe-heavy central squares that are frozen into place by historical preservation, and jammed with tourists, and then there are the outer rings of bizarre Lego-like perfunctory two-story apartment complexes, with few if any shops, beyond an Aldi, a hair saloon, a weed store, and maybe a bike-repair stand.

It's gotten significantly easier lately, I upgraded from v11 -> v15 with almost no downtime.
Arithmetic just happens to be something we can easily and reliably verify, so it becomes painfully obvious when LLMs are just stringing together some words that sound like the right answer.
Thanks for the comment! One of the authors here.

Indeed this would be a nice process to verify coq-of-rust. Also, although the code is rather short, we depend on the Rust compiler to parse and type-check the input Rust code. So that would need to be also verified, or at least formally specified without doing the proofs, and the API of rustc is rather large and unstable. It could still be a way to get more insurance.

Price, quality (food + service) and convenience--pick two. That creates our modern digest: fine dining (quality + convenience) and fast food (price + convenience).

You'll notice two things. One, the unfilled gap, quality and convenience, which most Americans remark upon when visiting e.g. Japanese convenience stores. (Diners and fast casual try to fill this niche.) And two, the forced joining of food and service quality.

We saw one side of this union broken in family dining, e.g. Ruby Tuesday's and Chuck E Cheese: price + service, with convenience trumping food quality. Automats are the inverse. Price + food, with service quality being sacrificed. Unfortunately, this means suppressing labor. And that is controversial [1]. (Apart from, as the narrator points out, for those of us with access to company cafeterias, airport lounges, IKEAS, et cetera.)

While he'll be giving up a lot of wealth, it's unlikely that any meaningful NDA will be applied here. Maybe for products, but definitely not for their research.

There's very few people who can lead in frontier AI research domains - maybe a few dozen worldwide - and there are many active research niches. Applying an NDA to a very senior researcher would be such a massive net-negative for the industry, that it'd be a net-negative for the applying organisation too.

I could see some kind of product-based NDA, like "don't discuss the target release dates for the new models", but "stop working on your field of research" isn't going to happen.

AI generated images and video are not competing against actual quality work with money put into it. They are competing against the quick photoshop or Adobe Aftereffects done by hobbyists and people learning how to work in the creative arts.

I never heard HN claiming that Copilot will replace programmers. Why do so many people believe generative AI will replace artists?
Getting doxxed like this means that anyone can beat the ever living private key out of his mouth knowing there are millions of dollars in his wallet. With the current economy, there's probably a great motivation to do this too, especially for the mid level authority.

Yes, it has. Even purely from the consumer facing side: the latest panels are far better in grayscale depth, sharpness and refresh rate (and their controller still kind of suck). Not to mention colour e-ink panels in consumer products seeing rapid improvements gen over gen.

> and no sign it will, as it's controlled by one company.

That's less true today, and there are multiple implementations of this idea that are being commercialised.

Though, sadly, e-ink the company bought one of them...
There are lot of people in low density who would _like_ to be in high density. However, these places are absurdly expensive (despite often being more efficient and cheaper to provide with services) because they've been illegal to build for 70 years, so the stock has been stagnant or declined while the population has grown.
Good riddance. MicroSD cards are way overused as a storage medium, and they are such a fucking crapshoot quality-wise. We are long overdue for an external variant of NVMe that can take it's place in all but the most micro of applications.
And your carbon footprint is probably lower than a city, cities are very wasteful places because they can be.

This (and basically your entire argument) is flat out incorrect. A McMansion uses vastly more energy to build and maintain than an apartment, and apartment dwellers in a city don't need to drive to work, to school, to the shops, for a night out, etc.

How do you answer this Interview Question asked during Behavioral rounds in Amazon/Meta? Big tech companies like Amazon and Meta often ask questions like this to assess candidates' fit with their Leadership Principles. These companies have a rigorous interview process that focuses not only on technical skills but also on behavioural competencies and cultural fit. Understanding and being able to demonstrate these competencies is key to succeeding in their interviews.
As a not so proud owner of a Dasung color I have to agree. The product is absolutely atrocious. It has like 8 colors, not thousands. The contrast is shit, „white“ is brown, black is … some darker brown. It’s reflective. It heavily relies on unstable dithering (so moving the mouse will jitter around a large area of nearby pixels), which also makes everything unreadable. The color processing is shit, it won’t even try to approximate displayed colors with the ones it can display.

You have to fight with the settings to just get something that is vaguely usable, and set up the OS with custom colors and an accessible theme. But even then it’s so much more straining to use than a normal monitor, because of the reflections and shit contrast.

I think you could probably get something more useful by building a 28“ wall paper of game boy colors.

Worst purchase ever.
Personally, I don't care about branding at all but for the money and atmosphere. From career PoV, it's also important that the company, or its tech department if it's not pure tech, is very large. This has several benefits: I deal with technologies at scale, I can migrate to other big company, I can also migrate internally if I wish. And, since there are many folks around, there is usually no high pressure on working 110% like in (some) startups. There are many companies like these and the pay for seniors is excellent.

Windows debug builds add extra sanity checks for which it needs extra members in types. For instance, a vector<T>::iterator is just a T* in a regular build, but in a debug build it also keeps a pointer to the vector so it can check bounds on every access.

But yes, C++ punts a lot of things to the build system, partly because the standard has to work on embedded systems where shared libraries don’t exist. A better build system could fix most of these things, but every build system that tries ends up massively complicated and slow, like Bazel.
Exactly.

The typical day-day is always something like 'munge the data from this input stream so it can be processed by this analysis service and then uploaded to snowflake' or whatever.

Very rare you need any DSA (other than being aware of memory/performance implications of certain datastructures, etc) let alone DP.
They seem to have a huge "money moat" now. Partnerships with Apple and MS mean they have a LOT of money to try a lot of things I guess.

Before the Apple partnership, maybe it seemed like the moat was shrinking, but I'm tno sure now.

Likely they have access to a LOT of data now too.
We were getting headaches but didn't know why. Turns out the building was recently remodeled, and the VOC sensor helped us root cause the air quality (we were opening windows to get rid of the flooring smell, but then inhaling toxic roof off-gases instead).
I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that you shouldn't use microSD for / on your SBC!

I've been running a m.2 drive on a Pi5 for a few months now (using the Pimoroni HAT), and it's a game changer for how well it performs at just about any task that uses disk I/O at all - even just opening applications, and it massively helps reliability.

You might not get amazing headline sequential I/O speeds because it's only a PCIe 2.0 x1 connection (you can run it at 3.0, but it's unsupported), but the difference in random I/O is huge.

It makes whole classes of usecases practical as a result - you can now use a Pi5 for databases, CI, etc - especially paired with the fact that the Pi5 is another decent step in CPU performance.

My Pi5 is now running a GitLab CI arm64 runner building Docker containers using a Samsung 980 Pro as the SSD... and it just works.

It's a bit slower than building the x86_64 version on a modern Xeon, but not excessively so - a docker container build that is mostly installing .deb packages with one compilation step that takes about 90s on 4 cores/8 threads of Intel Xeon Silver 4410T with also a Samsung 980 Pro for storage takes about 120s on the Pi5.

For the one-off price of a Pi5 + NVMe HAT compared to say something like an Apple Mac Mini or the ongoing cost of cloud arm64 rental, I think that's very reasonable!

edit: I still think microSD has it's place - but it should be as removable/transient storage - not as storage for your root fs.
This will change when the rumors turn out to be true and Apples Siri is powered by OpenAI and a billion people have a working conversational AI in their pocket.
I just recently did an interview with Gitlab and they do this. They have a codebase that is obviously not something they monetize or use themselves for anything other than interview purposes (for the ones worried about stolen labor). They make a PR for the codebase to add a new small feature, and assign you as a reviewer.

I quite liked it, though I wasn't a fan of how bad the PR is itself, since I ended up having way too many comments, some of them being massive "wtf is this and why would you ever do it this way?" Types of things that IRL I would've refused to review without a proper rewrite.

Is this a highly controversial statement ? People are truly worried about the future and this is just an anxiety based reaction ?
