Russians are constantly asking themselves this question, "aren't we taking up the area in vain".

The corollaries to these questions may surprise you, though.

I can see how you are are offended by this question, though. People in California had a long thought about it and has decided for the whole world that this question is not permitted, like they decide everything for the whole globe.
"the real issue is how to display it"

Unfortunately, yes. I know that there are various sci-fi solutions in the labs already, of projecting the image directly into the eye, or correctly on the windshield while taking the head position of the driver into account, but it probably takes a long time till they are a) reliable b) affordable c) standard in every car

Honestly you just don't need platformio for programming esp32. I tried, and it was just easier to deal with esp-idf than have a middleware with its own quirks on top of esp-idf's own quirks.
I'm curious how many platforms do you support for your Qt app(s) and how easy was it? It's been a few years since I touched Qt and back then mobile support was a pain.
I agree, they're joining in on the slippery slope auto-correct, home assistants, and Self Driving.

I think it's been awhile since consumers have trusted or relied on consumer tech. Browsing the web from a phone can only be described as adversarial. Scrolling down a top google result recipe site is almost impossible. Texts don't always send and you can't keep up with all the cloud backup offerings that it's hard to tell if your photos are actually being saved.

The current political and media scene is often described as post-truth, where accuracy isn't the biggest driving factor. It seems that computation is headed that way as well.
Hey this is really cool, we just launched our video embedding model: https://learn.mixpeek.com/vuse-v1-release/

> I once got a whiteboarding problem and proposed a solution, and the interviewer gave me a flat out "that's not the one I had in mind"

Oh jeez. The impatient, combative side of me would want to respond, "so you're not open to other people's ideas, or open to the possibility that your approaches may not be the only good possibilities?"

A more diplomatic response might be, "can you tell me what you think about my approach is unworkable or at least suboptimal?" I think your question about a possible missing constraint/requirement was a good one. Actually, I think after asking that question and getting no reasonable responses, my original combative response seems a bit more appropriate...
Norway has a very long and interesting history regarding natural resource development and stewardship, and lately a huge conversation has been about what is going to come after Oil. Would be very interesting if the answer is rare earth minerals!

I highly recommend a particular paper, entitled "The New Oil" which gives a very good overview of the history of Norwegian resource development:

IMO, this falls short of directly implicating the USG in the revolution but it certainly highlights their detailed concern in the region and a desire for specific outcomes. It makes it harder to believe USG intelligence operatives were completely hands-off. To what extent the situation was being driven by them is something I can't tell/guess.

This article reads as if the author was exploring the "Gervais Principle" [1] with Sam Altman as example.

> Of all organization men, the true executive is the one who remains most suspicious of The Organization. If there is one thing that characterizes him, it is a fierce desire to control his own destiny and, deep down, he resents yielding that control to The Organization, no matter how velvety its grip… he wants to dominate, not be dominated…

One example (PIO implemented in Verilog for use in FPGAs):

https://github.com/lawrie/fpga_pio
I can’t see the contact Email on that page. Is it because I’m on a Smart phone?
I don't think I (nor most others commenting here) were claiming that the questions couldn't be solved in the timeframe, that interviewers expected perfection, or that they wanted candidates to fail. So I'm not really sure why you brought that up.
I’ve heard that claim many times before. I’m a daily Java developer, and can provide a little perspective on what Java is like. Though I don’t know the exact specifics of the claim.

In Java a given method either doesn’t throw any exceptions, or only throws the named ones and their children. So nothing, or maybe just InvailArgumentException (and its descendants).

However there’s a lot of different kinds of exceptions. So very quickly you tend to end up with one of two things. Functions have a big list of possible exceptions (an A, or B, or C, or F, or G) or the far more common in company code: throws Exception. Don’t bother to list stuff, just say “I throw stuff”.

Except, that’s all a lie. Because every function implicitly can throw RuntimeException and its children. Things like OutOfMemory or StackOverflow.

So basically all code everywhere realistically has to be aware of exceptions. A lot of people get lazy and don’t bother to list the actual kinds of exceptions they throw or pick one that’s a runtime exception so they don’t have to add the ‘throws’ to the signature to every single method.

And how do you solve calling a method with a checked exception? Well the right thing to do is use a try block, but so often people just add it to their own signature and pass the buck.

So a lot of the benefits just sort of get lost.

Swift now has three options: doesn’t throw, throws something, throws of type X. You can’t have multiple types. And you can’t pretend the exception doesn’t exist and just let it bubble up, you have to put a ‘try’ on the statement line to do that.

As someone who works in both languages Swift’s approach does seem like an improvement. I’m not sure how big.

But just in Swift, being able to explicitly state the one type of the exception that may be thrown seems like a very nice add for type safety and reducing boilerplate checks.
I've found that face/retina scans are usually bad UX, especially if you need to use a viewfinder or a statically positioned device. Apple's Face ID works well because it's on a mobile device and you don't have to align your face in a box.

I don't see how this is any more convenient than using a mobile wallet. In fact, it looks less convenient than using the actual card - even if you forget the card you can usually just key in the number at the terminal.
I am coming around to that idea myself, and I too was given a similar come-to-Jesus lecture by a sleep specialist.

This is separate from the fact that ICUs are unforgivably noisy and chaotic. We will look at this part of medical history with horror. Yes, I do understand that making things appreciably better for patients in ICU is a massive and complex undertaking. I am not at all blaming the staff and docs.
Show HN: Grably's accessing private data to fuel AI growth
Did you know only 4% of the data is publicly available for the whole LLM market and other AI products?

Grably's here to help AI companies instantly access accurate, diverse, unique and specific datasets sourced from individuals who turned their galleries and private files into digital assets, allowing them to monetize their data.

Our team previously founded and grew a company from $180k ARR to $1.6M ARR within just 5 months. we faced issues with the data we needed... Just weren’t able to find the dataset anywhere. Spent two years to collecting it manually.

We believe Grably will accelerate AI growth and innovation by simplifying access to rare high-quality datasets.

Join our beta program and start monetizing your files today: https://grably.us/turn-gallery-into-assets

Beta is simple. It allows you to share the album (iOs & Android) or a folder (Dropbox & Google Drive). We receive the notification to our corporate email and then process the files. It happens manually for now, but don’t worry, we’re going to make it on-device without downloading files to any server. Please, share what kind of concerns do you have?
> But they don’t know the work I put in or what I understand or the amount of researchers and doctors I talk to you.

I mean, that's really the root of the problem. When someone has a doctorate in a topic, you can generally trust the quality of their research since they had to pass a rigorous routine. Not always of course, but that's why peer-review exists. With your Medium article, we're taking everything you say with the hope that it's correct and if you're not... who's going to retract your article for you?

The medical journals aren't all perfect, but the reason why journals exist at all is to avoid situations like this. I admire your commitment to researching interesting things, but speculating on medicine feels best left to the qualified people.
> At this point, we're paying $0.40 / kWh for grid power. National average is $0.08.

It doesn't help to exaggerate, that only undermines whatever legitimate point is buried in here. California weighted residential cost was 33¢ according to latest EIA data and the national average was 17¢.

> You have to get solar + battery anyway

Since more than 99% of California homes lack such a system, it is obviously not necessary to own one.
I agree. :-D
Thanks, I'll make those changes
Contents of communications aren't as important as you may think; metadata is extremely dangerous.
Thanks for pointing that out. I've updated the post.
I don't disagree that urban planning is a factor, but I think there's more to this.

A very common theme when talking to people in the US is "this neighborhood used to have so many more kids out and about!" Even in the neighborhood I grew up in, where my parents still live, there are far fewer kids around, even though the neighborhood's design and car traffic haven't changed at all.

Where are they? Are their parents driving them from place to place? Are they staying inside staring at screens? Or are there simply fewer kids due to falling birthrates?
Which leads to the best raspberries I ever had. Which suprised us a lot.
And they were (still are?) having supply issues. My family ended up buying a Tesla last year instead of replacing a Nissan Leaf battery because the waiting list was something like six months long.

I guess it was misleading when I said "that's fine". For certain roles it's required, so if a candidate refuses, we pass... It just signals that we're not a great fit for each other. We treat this as a technical screener. We get a lot of applicants for these roles and we need to quickly eliminate candidates that are not technical enough.
Chat with Your Company's Data
We're developing a unified AI API that integrates with multiple AI models and allows businesses to easily leverage their data. An example of this would be uploading a csv from a table in your database and being able to have a conversational chat to unlock insights and answer questions about your data. Would a product like this be useful for your organization? We're seeking feedback from the AI and data science community to validate our idea and refine our offering.
No, I meant one or two interviews of an hour each. I've since edited my comment to gaslight you. Err, I mean to clarify the language.
Resin isn't toxic. The problem is that resin can cure under your skin and the only way to get rid of the resin is for your immune system to do it. So people develop allergies against cured resin, which tends to cause more damage than the resin itself. Even after you have developed a resin allergy, there is generally no long term damage as long as you stay away from it and don't trigger your allergy.
I have had interesting interactions with web devs in which I describe the architectural CAD application I used to work on, which they call "a simple desktop app". They then talk at length about their overengineered CRUD app.

As I said earlier....

Most companies of any size, and civil servants, have policies to travel with burner phones/laptops when crossing (even benign) international boarders; including into Australia and "the land of the free"

Frankly, it is so commonplace, it is not remotely unusual or suspicious to travel with a burner phone.
I missed that they moved from an eink display to AMOLED.

I'm a little surprised they did that actually, I thought they got quite a few customers due to the e-ink display. There have been a few devices recently with greatly improved eink performance and resolution, I was hoping the LP3 would have managed to go with one to keep the nicer reading experience.
Thanks for the background, there definitely seems to be a lot of clunkiness, and as someone who just started using it for IG, I have not experienced these but will keep an eye out. On a side note, I am always surprised how many products clearly haven't been used by the people making them...

Why not give users choice and control to pick whichever provider they want, with some kind of open API? I feel like this is going down the path they’ve chosen when it comes to search engine choice in Safari or the App Store more broadly, where you can only have the access and information that Apple approves of.

Virtual Geometry in Bevy 0.14
Some things in life are just impossible to survive without a crate of vodka, it seems.
It's a lot more complicated than that. What constitutes a human right is deeply tied up in questions of ethics that are not settled and have no universal acceptance even within a single culture. Any given person will have deep feelings about the human rights that their ethical framework demands, but those deep feelings will often contradict the deeply held feelings of other people.

This means that which ethical framework we as a society use to decide what counts as a human right is an inherently political question: it's a decision that we try to make as a society in as nonviolent a manner as possible.

And before we get too far off the deep end, I want to note that both sides of the aisle firmly believe that the other side ignores fundamental human rights that their side respects. This is what happens when good people operate with completely opposite ethical frameworks, and we won't get anywhere by just shouting that our framework is the only valid one.
Seiler's Interpolation
For the last 10 years I've been a full stack / devops developer. I think that ecosystem is in a very bad place right now and has failed to efficiently modernize. The tools that people are adopting in an attempt to mitigate this such as NextJS are still grounded in the complexities of the past like Node/React/Express/Serverless and not good enough.

These troubles metastasize to subpar SaaS products, low efficiency, bad company cultures, layoffs, bad hiring practices, management instead of leadership, salary stagnation, dark patterns, you name it.

So to see Apple with a laser focus on tooling, quality of life, privacy, in this WWDC while everyone else runs around like a headless chicken suggests to me that their platform might be the more lucrative path to follow. I think it'll be faster, better, and more enjoyable, to develop consumer and business applications for fun and profit.

Don't get be wrong its far from a silver bullet. Many Apple Platform APIs like CloudKit and Server-side-Swift have a LONG way to go. But Im seeing the right steps to address these issues and at the end of the day it feels a whole lot better then what I've been doing in the past and produces better end products IMO.
We screen resumes and then based on resume we send this out as a technical screen. So the interaction is an invitation to do the screening exercise. It's the best way that we have found to eliminate candidates that don't meet the technical bar out of a huge pool of candidates.
> think a lot of companies forget that the interview is the applicant selling themselves to the interviewer and the company selling itself to the applicant.

To be fair, I think that's a more recent phenomenon, at least when it comes to hiring low- to mid-career rank-and-file (in the past I think this was a consideration mainly only when trying to hire executives or people with specialized talents). And even then, that only works in a job market that is relatively at equilibrium, or one where applicants are in high demand. Beggars can't be choosers, as the saying goes.
Hash Functions for the GPU
The Atari involvement wasn't until August 1984 or after. We never saw any Pascal source code for CP/M-68K (it had been ported to C by then, I suppose).

CP/M-68K was awful, GemDos was a little better (written largely by Jason Loveman at DRI), but it had its own issues. The new program loader was one of the improvements we wanted.
Imagine the equivalent of endoscopy: being able to insert a small tube inside of an object and print structures larger than the tube inside of them.

Obviously, that requires a lot more than just this, but it's intriguing to think about being able to perform internal repairs of nearly-sealed objects.

Or print a kitten inside a bottle, for those old enough to catch the bonsai kitten reference. ;)

I’m not anti-biometrics. I’m ok with it on my devices I’ve made that decision on.

But retailers everywhere? No. I know the devices will need to be certified just like EMV terminals, so it’s not like the Amazon things. But that’s still to far.

Altman's history of unethical behavior is lengthy and has been well documented across multiple organizations.

The fact that PG stands (still) behind him shows that nothing has really changed after the metoo movement; powerful people in SV will still ignore how someone treats others if they think the person will make them a pile of cash.

Some day they'll realize that out there are plenty of people with nearly the same or better skills and far better ethics. Altman isn't even that skilled on a technical level, but even if he was - you can teach people technical and leadership skills more easily than you can teach them ethical behavior.

We have hundreds of thousands of people with violent criminal pasts who have turned their lives around and now treat others ethically and equitably...with virtually no resources at their disposal, countless barriers, and all of society glaring down at them.

If they can do it, why can't Altman, who has immense resources at his fingertips?
Machine Learning on the GPU – Case Study: Open Image Denoise

Archaeology (as well as new technology that allows us to interpret archaeological finds in different/more interesting ways) is constantly providing new data that changes our understanding of the ancient world. To return to the original article, certainly Gibbon was a product of his time and his narrative relies heavily on a number of unsupported biases, but he also didn't have access to the last few hundred years of archaeological evidence which has totally transformed what we know about the Roman Empire.
I've had some luck with an alarm clock that must be flipped over to be silenced. Every night, I set a cup of water on top of it, and every morning after I've silenced it, I'm left holding a cup of water—with which I can't return to bed!

I'll then drink the water, because it's easy, and if that's not enough to get me on track, at least I'll have to pee sooner.
