Kind of but I also don't blame someone when PE firm shows up with briefcase full of life changing money and asks to buy. Few people can resist that temptation, especially as they get older.
Because it's not the same chip? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RP2040 read the the specs and it's clear that is not the main chip in an rpi 5
Because the RP2040 is not the main controller of the RPi.

It's a micro controller, on which the Raspberry Pi Pico is based, at $4
so cool; thank you for the link
You can have several bootloader stages, and in fact that's how the RP2040 works [1]!

Stage 1 bootloader is the one in ROM and it normally just reads stage 2 from the flash chip. Stage 2 then initialises the flash properly, and you can have further stages like [2] to implement the trial-rollback procedure.

Stage 1 is a safety net, even if the trial-rollback procedure goes terribly wrong the device can still be unbricked over USB.

Seems like a good case for having a basic Nokia just for travel purposes.
This is an amazing idea! In my response to imiric, I detail an ICM Panspermia version of the Stoned Ape Theory, and hypothesize that we could use genomic dating techniques to experimentally falsify the theory (which is probably false because we probably had magic mushrooms for many millions of years). That makes it a fun theory to work with!
Yeah I had the exact same thought. I really sat there thinking "are you telling me that they were going to let me run Gimp on my Xbox??"

I think X is a really stupid name for a social media platform, but I'm not a guy worth $200 billion who calls people pedophiles if he doesn't like them, so what do I know?

My guess is it will be effectively dead as a platform long before people stop thinking of it as Twitter.

Imagine if someone took over the Coca Cola company, and suddenly rebranded all of the soda as "W". How long until people stopped calling the drink Coke?

>> Amazon has become a marketplace for AI-produced tomes that are being passed off as having been written by humans, with travel books among the popular categories for fake work.

Yet another source of horribleness from Amazon's book department. I recently wanted to buy a softcover copy of Lovecraft's collected works. I know it's out of copyright but I want a book I can hold. What came was junk, poorly scanned to the point of having extra page numbers stolen from the original. This is what Amazon does with books. No matter how much or little you pay, the delivered book will somehow not be what you wanted.
There was a blog post I read on HN that was about how existing large publications who were threatened by the internet (think big magazines) began to churn out low-quality content that will allow their sites to dominate search rankings despite offering less value than higher-quality posts from small blogs.

I think the blog post was from some kind of home air filter review site or something, but I can't find it....
Yeah, definitely possible. The firefox screenshot feature is fairly smoothly integrated and intuitive, a rare moment of clarity from their UI team.
Sweet!

I think the AI should be optimized to not make plays that look obviously bad. It doesn't really need to be any harder, but it kinda ruins it when it makes a play that seems really obviously bad to me.

Also does it simply never play the center? It seems center is never an outlier probability but also feels like the AI should play it sometime. (edit: After 20 or so games it finally did. Maybe I was just overvaluing it? Although I'm winning about 80%.)

These suggestions are all about the feel of playing the AI rather than difficulty.

This has absolutely nothing to with what is fair. They just lucky. Nothing unfair, unless you think about who put the metals there.
What about things like GIPHY reactions? I’m guessing you’re not a fan of those either or using quotes from well known people. There shortcuts have existed as long as people have been writing or drawing. They just get easier and more powerful over time.

I view this as just extending that to custom reactions and making them more flexible expanding their range of uses.

The ESP8266 and ESP32 from what I've seen have got far more documentation and support (also due to library compatibility between the two chips).
I've personally not come across any lack of documentation or compatibility issues, which I guess only happens if you need to target many versions of a chip, which isn't a problem for most people unless you're an API developer.

The content/spam/slop is simply being tailored to be effective with its intended audience.

But that's not the scary part.

The difference with AI slop is just the enormity of the scale and speed at which we can produce it. Finally, a couple of data centers can produce more slop than the entirety of humanity, combined.
Isn't that already covered by FPGAs? I mean, it is just a way of configuring ports. And FPGAs are much broader (also configuring computation).
I disagree. Rust on embedded is fantastic (I do STM32 programming on rust all the time, and have used the RISC-V ESP chips and nRF-52 as well), but Async Rust on embedded suffers from the same problems of contagion and coloring that non-embedded async rust has.
Thanks, I prefer using C :) But happy that there are options out there.
That’s an interesting idea! There’s already a lot of companies that are founded out of the graveyard of startups that failed to scale. (Sound familiar?) ;-)

I think the conventional wisdom would say that it’s not worth the effort to put together those smaller companies though; those resources would be better spent finding a different business that could scale. It would probably depend on whether there are any efficiencies of operating many such businesses.

Aside: good luck with Otherbranch. TripleByte was a critical part of my own career journey in 2018/2019, so I’m keen to see how it goes this time around. My complaints about TB were basically that it was too focused on SF Bay Area (I get it…), and it didn’t have an ML track until long after it was relevant for me.
The problem with any hard formula like this is: people twig onto it. When your presentation looks exactly like everyone else's, you've already lost, because you're boring.

When Sting was being interviewed by Rick Beato, he said that when he listens to a new song, if he isn't surprised by something real quick, he loses interest.

"If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Oh wait! Everyone IS doing it."
> It seems like LLMs would be great for this: "Is this email trying to sell me something?" "Is it from an acquintance?" "I have these mailboxes, which is the most appropriate?" with some additional metadata.

Why LLM's, unless it's the only hammer you have? For instance, "is it from an acquaintance?" seems like a case for a classic mail rule. It's not like an LLM can read your mind to find out who your acquaintances are, and mining your correspondence to figure it out doesn't pass the smell test. If you chat with a friend about "Steve," how would it figure out who that actually is? Should it let all mail from every self-identified Steve in?

The only way to do better than a mail rule is privacy-invading metadata collection a-la Facebook (who slurped the address books of you and your friends, and tracks all your communications that it can, so it knows who your friends are who who your friend's friends are).
I can't believe Apple invented implementation-specific ISA quirks. The nerve!
Zume was ridiculously over engineered though. They had a large commercial delta robot in a safety cell to spread tomato sauce (https://youtu.be/TkhWonFm-Lw?si=18ihEFyY04IWRdEL).

Contrast this with the very simple robot Costco uses to put sauce on their pizzas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaMFqgslxRc), which is basically a turntable.
They're underhyped. There just aren't good products readily available for it yet. When there are, it will make AI assistants truly assistants. Not just chat and answer, but "hey, can you do this for me?".
They have to thank Farouk al-Kasim for that, an Iraqi geologist from Basra who worked at the Iraqi Petroleum Company and moved to Norway, wrote a white paper selling the idea of the state participation in exploiting oil in Norway and the rest is history.

Ask HN: How do you iterate on and manage prompts in production?
I'm curious about how people handle managing and iterating on their prompts, especially for production-facing prompts that many users depend on.

- Where do you store your prompts?
- Do you use version control?
- How do you test prompts after editing?
- Where do you store your test sets?
- Do you evaluate results? If so, how?
- Are you fine-tuning models like GPT-3.5 for better/cheaper results?
As someone who just had to build integrations with all the big social media sites, this tracks. People thought I was crazy when I came back with the research that our TikTok integration would be free, and then our X integration would be $42000 per month. It’s absurdly easy to slide down their pricing ramp, which is more like a series of cliffs: $100/mo for basic, $5000/mo for Pro, at least $42000/mo for Enterprise once you exceed Pro’s limits. There are no amounts in between. It’s like building an API integration against a box of dynamite.
I hope it fixes the "too long filename" issue that often prevents screenshots from being saved (e.g. tweets with long messages) because it seems to use the window title to generate the filename.
>The crime that has been falling throughout the entire western world after peaking in the mid 1990's ?

crime=/=crime

The park were we hung out as kids is now inhabited by drug dealers. Obviously no place for kids, or families or basically anyone else, I will try to avoid if I reasonably can. And of course there was no increase in statistical crime, as it just is not getting prosecuted, although it is clear as day that it is happening.

Crime stats are hugely misleading if you want to figure out what a social environment looks like.
Raspberry Pi stock surges after London IPO
Very low? I guess anything is possible, but the M1 through M4 GPUs weren't really anything to write home about. It more closely resembles AMD's raster-focused GPU compute in my opinion, which is certainly not a bad thing for mobile hardware.

Nvidia's GPUs are complex. They have a lot of dedicated, multipurpose acceleration hardware inside of them, and then they use CUDA to tie all those pieces together. Apple's GPUs are kinda the opposite way; they're extremely simple and optimized for low-power raster compute. Which isn't bad at all, for mobile! It just gimps them design-wise when they go up against purpose-built accelerators.

If we see Apple do custom Apple Silicon for the datacenter, it will be a pretty radically new design. The first thing they need is good networking; a full-size Nvidia cluster will use Mellanox Infiniband to connect dozens of servers at Tb/s speeds. So Apple would need a similar connectivity solution, at least to compete. The GPU would need to be bigger and probably higher-wattage, and the CPU should really emphasize core count over single-threaded performance. If they play their cards right there, they would have an Apple Silicon competitor to the Grace superchip and GB200 GPU.

"freely". The context here matters.

The tone when entering any country is already quite serious (i.e. passengers must proceed according to airport/airline rules and processes).

Australia's inbound UX has a few additional aspects that make the tone more stern.

An announcement is made on inbound international flights' about fines/deportation for undeclared risks to biosecurity; minds start to wonder about the wooden chess board or leather belt; it's typical to second-guess or be a bit nervous, especially non-English speakers who only caught every second word.

A formal-looking document ('Incoming Passenger Card' [1]) must then be completed.

Airport staff are generally slightly authoritarian (Australia's aren't the worst in this regard, but it contributes to the vibe the passenger perceives).

After a passenger has experienced this serious tone for several hours, they could perceive further requests in the same context as being ones best not politely declined.

That’s the point, unfortunately, that method works because most people just hand over their code without any questions, if enough people refused, it will be inconvenient to them not the other way around.
One variant of ragebait I really hate is posters pretending to be stupid or confusing in order to get people to correct them, make fun of them, fight in the comments, ask questions etc, all because more comments equals more exposure.

For example. I literally just saw a video on my feed of a professional barber trying to fix a balding person’s haircut, by spray painting his scalp. The barber was acting serious, pretending to show off his skills, but the real content was how ridiculously awful it looked, and this accounted for 99% of the (many) comments. He knew what he was doing.

Is there a name for this kind of slop?
> they only hate when they can't feel like they're the ones doing the steering.

This is much more true of the “other side” than “Musk and like ilk”. The hate against Musk and X is primarily because a lot of people on one political side hate that they’re no longer steering public discourse. Also the current X does far less steering (in any direction) than the censorship heavy regime of the past.
20c/68f outside in Oslo, at 5pm today. High of 27c/80f in may. I’m satisfied.
The issue is that its a comparison about apples to peaches. The RPI2040 is JUST the chip whereas the ESP32 come with tons of peripherals for your liking.

From Wifi/Bluetooth Antenna, LI Battery Controller, Ethernet whatever, Display or Camera Connector - You choose.

And then we have a multitude of even CPU choices and when running on a coin cell it makes a difference powering a second, unnecessary core or even wifi.

And with the C6 variants, Espressif even switches ISA again, from 8266, to ESP32 to a RISC-V based ISA.

So you are comparing the first of its kind SOC with a decade old Family of SBCs.

Tesla will come to the utility and say we can offer you 3000 MW of demand response in any granularity you want for $x/hr.

$x is usually not very big since the modus operandi for the bulk electric system in North America has been everyone can use as much power as they want whenever they want, so we have had lots of supply.

But a couple of times per year $x could be thousands of dollars per MW per hour, for a few hours. So not worth the effort really.

Maybe Tesla will offer the demand response more geographically so distribution utilities can also use it for peak shaving on their substations. But that is pretty brave area to be operating in for a utility, depending on Tesla to avoid overloading transformers or risk a localized black out.

There would have to be a serious penalty for bidding in the demand response but then not performing as well.

I agree it does seem far fetched at this time.

Somewhat off-topic, but I will ask anyway: if preprocessed foods are so strongly linked to the illnesses of modern society, wouldn't be interesting to establish a policy to heavily tax preprocessed foods, like we do for cigarettes?

Then, we stop this charade. If these cooking robots are just glorified assembly lines that require uniform inputs, they should be taxed to the point they do not displace a human. And if you manage to get a "robo-chef" that actually can make good food starting with fresh ingredients, you get all the incentives to put this on every home, school or office building.
Although people are talking about copyright, the real reason is SEO. If you write just the recipe, your site appears lower in the search results than those with all the fluff (or so it was believed).

History would disagree with you there pretty strongly. Norway (and Scandiland in general) was fought over for millennia, leading to an extremely rich, interesting, and bloody history - even well after the Viking era. As a somewhat random aside this [1] book is an extremely interesting read for anybody into history - the 'King's Mirror.' It's a book written around 1250 intended exclusively for the education of a Norwegian King. It takes the Plato-type style of a question and answer session between a learned man (father) and pupil (son).

It covers basically every aspect of life, but the most interesting thing about it that it was written near a millennia ago now, yet so many things in it feel so incredibly familiar. The Wiki page links to a bunch of different free translations. Here [2] is the one that I read.
