Thanks, but my point was less about this one article, and more about the general experience of a well-intentioned but novice contributor: no matter how much you try to do the right thing, there's a good chance your work is for nothing because someone more established than you doesn't see the value in it.

And maybe they are right: I understand that not all new contributions are valuable to the project (though you could argue that improving upon them is better than outright deleting them — obvious spam and vandalism excepted ofcourse). But you can't have it both ways: either you want to invite new contributors, in which case you need to be tolerant of their mistakes, and ensure that they are mentored instead of bullied by the more experienced users, or you choose to have a small group of trusted veterans maintain all articles. I don't think one option is obviously superior to the other, but it's a choice that Wikipedia doesn't seem to want to make.

There is lots of room for improvement here. For example, I get the impression that Deletionists now rule Wikipedia, so if a newbie like me tries to create a new article on any topic, there is a 90% chance it will just be deleted (because if the topic was worthy of an article on Wikipedia, don't you think someone more experienced had already created it by now, silly noob?)

If that's the case, then why allow people to create new articles at all? It's just setting up people to waste their time creating an initial draft. And it's an annoying gamble: I know that the more time I spend on making the initial revision really really good, the less likely it will be insta-deleted by some grumpy guy, but the more time I will have lost if it is! It's a real dilemma. Why make people gamble with their time like that?

If you accept that most new articles will not be accepted, wouldn't it be better to disable article creation, and instead have a form where people can suggest ideas for new articles? That way, you spare contributors the effort of creating the initial draft (which is actually really difficult if you're new to Wikipedia and you are trying to be diligent about creating properly-formatted references and info-boxes and so on), and on the off-chance that the people in power decide to allow the new article to be created, they could also pair up the new contributor with a more experienced editor who will mentor them and help them create an initial revision that's up to snuff. This strikes me as a process that's 1000% better if you want to encourage new contributions.
I think you're probably right. My point and reason for skepticism still remains though, growing adult teeth is not like fingernails that just grow out of seemingly nothing, it happens deep inside the bone and is deeply connected with the process of growing in general.
Well that's dumb. There are some perfectly functional and profitable designs already in service [1]. Though, if he can cut down on the massive upfront costs, that might help with adoption.

See lots of older discussions. e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40490836

My understanding, no guarantees: Ian founded Freenet and after some time effectively abandoned it, while it was further developed by multiple volunteers in an active community. About 20 years later, he created a new project named locutus and renamed it to Freenet, forcing the existing and active community to abandon that name, without asking them. They chose the new name hyphanet by the way. This was possible because the name belonged to some Freenet foundation all along, which also had apparently lost contact to the active community.

Designing in a Post-Taste World
> The RPI2040 is JUST the chip whereas the ESP32 come with tons of peripherals for your liking.

I think you're mistaking the ESP32 devkits for the ESP32 itself. The thing that comes with an antenna, battery controller and any kind of connector whatsoever is a devkit or at least a module. The ESP32 itself is a small IC just like the RP2040.

For example you might be thinking of a devkit like this: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s...

Which is itself based on a module (e.g. ESP32-S3-WROOM-1), which just bundles the ESP32-S3 IC with a few niceties (like wifi antenna or connector).

The equivalent for the RP2040 would be the Raspberry Pi Pico, which does come with some minor niceties (like a wifi variant). There are other products that package it with different peripherals.

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

Neither the RP2040 nor ESP32 series are SBCs and neither has any SBC lineage. The Raspberry Pi SBCs were all Broadcom based, the RP2040 is a brand new IC developed by Raspberry Pi and afaik has no IP licensed by Broadcom.

I'm guessing MasterCard is viewing this as a payment mechanism that only needs the physical customer as the payment authentication. If it's 0 friction (which I doubt), I could see people opting to just look at a camera to pay rather than fumbling to get your phone out.

Fumbling with your phone sounds like a silly statement but so did fumbling with your wallet.
A bit of short-term thinking, though. Even if companies _right now_ can treat applicants like crap, they probably shouldn't. I'd rather have an applicant accept an offer because they want to, not because they have to. They'll care more about the work and are less likely to flee.
I assume that most people's use of FRAM is when its integrated into TI's MSP430 microcontrollers

IE: if FRAM comes free with your MCU, might as well use it and take advantage of its benefits. For example: MSP430FR4132, just picking one such MCU off of Digikey (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments...)

Most of what I know of FRAM comes from TI's marketing pages. https://www.ti.com/document-viewer/lit/html/SSZTA32
Agreed. This is evidenced by the existence of boards enforcing ESG standards, and management enforcing DEI programs throughout most corporations and businesses, in order to protect against even the slightest perceived threat against discriminatory hiring decisions made entirely around immutable traits, rather than skill and merit.

Disney's leaked hiring standards document earlier this year is a smoking gun, and it's a safe assumption most other corporations towing the same line have the same or similar reprehensible hiring standards.

DEI is patently anti-white and anti-straight, and its rhetoric and materials (everything from training to editorials) are not shy about expressing it in plain terms that it is a revenge campaign masked by good intentions and a smile. All in a way that mirrors the beginnings of 20th century atrocities around the world, that were also rooted in hatred towards specific groups perceived as threats to society on the basis of immutable traits.
Not defending any particular company here, but writing software for what is essentially a moving target (OS’s and browser extension APIs) is just simply not “one and done” anymore.

I think this depends on who your customers are. If your customer is a regulated utility that may be required to use equipment that has been "licensed" for certain purposes, making sure websites work with older versions of browsers is very important. On the other hand, if you're targeting high-ish net worth end users who may be expected to always run the most recent browser version on the most recent hardware, then it would make sense to always target the most recent features.

> flipping burgers

You are thinking McDonalds, I'm talking "The greasy spoon diner next to where I lived in Cambridge that had really good philly cheesesteaks". Yes, having people employed there provides lots of benefits beyond the food. For starters, it was a third-place for some people. If we lose these places, we lose a lot.

Also, I'm talking about taxing restaurants and food that is processed (i.e, not fresh ingredients, preservatives added to extend shelf-life), artificial sugars or sweeteners added for flavor, etc). If you don't want to tax fast food chains because of automation then do it because their food is as addictive and as damaging to our health as cigarettes, if not more.

Yes, agriculture robbed the jobs but it was fine because we could move on to do other things. But we are about to lose the automation race, machines are getting better at doing things that used to be only years of travel ning. "Creative" jobs are getting eliminated because of LLMs. We are not there yet, but we already started this discussion of dispensing of software engineers because of Copilot et caterva. You think you might be safe from the chopping block, but this is not true to the millions of people entering the workforce now.

> Should we be taxing tractors as well?

No. We should be taxing the land owner to make sure the peasants can survive. Or even better, taking it from them and split it more equally.
I'm not aware of any similarly mature GPU-based JSON parser, but I believe such a thing is possible. My stack monoid work [1] contains a bunch of ideas that may be helpful for building one. I've thought about pursuing that, but have kept focus on 2D graphics as it's clearer how that will actually be useful.

> The CPU is the weakest link in computing,” said Flow co-founder

Wait until they hear about storage and memory latency.
I'm not sure I would even know how to answer that first question. When I was working, I spent many weekends and late nights traveling. It was my "own initiative" I guess in the sense that it was sort of my job.

I realize that probably doesn't describe a lot of people in which case it's probably the right job for them.
The Chromebook team has been doing saint's work by building virtualization layers, to let a user run their own apps or OS & have it seem like sound card, GPU, all sorts of stuff including video decoder & encoder (as recently blogged at https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2024/06/06/a-ro... ) seem to just work, even though it's all going through deeply sandboxed containers running their own virtual hardware. It's incredibly ambitious mastery of the broadest technical ecosystem possible, and it rocks, is just awesome. (Alas I don't think anyone else has any idea how to reuse it, which sucks.)

It's a pity the Android team has such incredibly low ambitions here. Mirroring the screen? That's it? All these years latter & that's what you've got? If they were delivering a well baked decent desktop screen like DeX can, I could be more sympathetic, but it just looks like the whole NIH display subsystem & tech stack of Android is a terrible boat anchor, is constantly working against them & keeping them from getting anywhere at a reasonable speed. There's already an OK-ish tablet experience, but this boutique tech stack Android built for itself can't even begin to handle multiple displays or multiple modalities. Or the team just has a low bar for themselves here, is starting really low.

After it blew up, Google swore the ChromeOS on Android demonwas just that, a demo, not going to make it further. But if Android is going to keep setting the bar so low for it's ambitions, if everything will be so minimalist, maybe they should go the ChromeOS route & enable options. https://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-os-running-on-pixel-...

Ideally Android should start trying to bring in best-of-breed standard infrastructure & stop DIY'ing their stack, should give up on SurfaceFlinger & start porting their stuff to respextable technology which won't encumber themselves, won't require constant effort just to keep the basics going, which will work well with others. ChromeOS has not just virtualized but has offloaded their NIH efforts & integrated in good pieces of the FreeDesktop world; this low-ambition non-delivery/partial delivery by Android feels like a strong sign that they are suffering & ought reevaluate whether they really need to recreate the entire stack on their own.
From you? I imagine it would be difficult. From them? Less so.

None of us are perfect.

But we have this perfect expectation of how we should and could be in our heads - thinner, fitter, more sensible with money, happier with friends. But we all fail. We just tend to fail in different ways.

Some of us are luckier, their satiety levels are lower, their kidney disease markers are low, no bowel cancer, no mental illness.

Those people won’t need high insurance premiums. But the point of insurance is not to reward the lucky ones, the whole point of insurance is that the lucky ones do subsidise the unlucky.

And please do not think “that person pays into a well researched health plan because they are more intelligent,more handsome, more like me”

If paying into a good health plan is important then simply make everyone do it.

The term is social insurance.

After staring at it for a while it’s the only thing that makes sense.

And then you can use that social pressure for useful things
> Both the F150 and CT have onboard DC->AC inverters. This, IMO, is a bad move. It makes way more sense for the inverter to be a part of the house. However, the onboard inverter does make it easier to integrate with generator switches in panels.

Having the inverter in the truck makes it useful for construction sites where you need electrical equipment and utility power isn't connected for whatever reason (a good one is construction hasn't gotten there yet; but also sometimes 240v tools are needed and there's no convenient access to 240v), and makes the truck a drop in replacement for a portable generator that people may already have.
Woah. You made exactly what I want. Lucky day for me. Thank you.

Also, thanks for the markdown support. I'm one of those weird people that will ask if you'd be willing to support org mode as well. And I'm kinda surprised you don't if you use it yourself! I'd be very likely to use this if I could simply point it to an org file and have it displayed nicely on the web. I often take short notes that turn into long notes or vice-versa.

A fair response to your question would be, "submit a pull request" (thanks for being open source)... but I've got far too much science to do at the moment. So, regardless, thanks for building something cool!
> But we don't observe that, we observe measurements to have single results

What do you think it would feel like to observe a measurement to have multiple results simultaneously? And do you think MWI predicts any branch of the wavefunction would exist in which a human would be experiencing that sensation? It doesn't; it predicts a superposition of (human observes result A + human observes result B), with ~zero probability of (human observes both results A + B). So I'm not sure which hoops you think MWI needs to jump through to match our subjective experience.
I'm sorry for your loss!
Yeah I sure hope they will fix that ADC. I hope they will fix it on the RP2040 too. That would be great to use the RP2040 as peripherals for a more powerful chip (and load the code/pio through the swd ports so you don't need flash for each of them).
> Fun fact: turns out I'm really good at mentally adding and multiplying 2 and 3-digit numbers while unconscious.

You'll be fully conscious - you just don't retain the memory. Its like driving on a route you've driven thousands of times or tying your shoe laces - both activities require conscious effort at the time, but no (detailed) memory is retained about the effort afterwards.

There aren't a whole lot of options for wifi specifically; there's tons of choice for Bluetooth though.

For Wifi, the only competition I'm aware of is the wireless STM32 series from ST Microelectronics: https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32...

For BT, Nordic's nRF series is pretty popular. In the DIY world, I mostly know it in the form of the nice!nano, a keyboard controller.
What I've discovered is that I don't even want a menu. I want to hold the command key, tap the v key several times, and just have it cycle through until I get the one I want. It'd only release the past when I let up off of command (each tap of V would replace the previously pasted item with the next in this queue/ring). Command-C would just copy into the ring to the first position. Use another hotkey to remove an item, I guess. I don't need a visual history.

The building materials aren't what's causing housing to be unaffordable. It's single family zoning and land speculation. The best thing to do to lower housing costs is to drastically reduce single family zoning (some cities have like 90% land area zoned for detached single family houses only!) to allow for infill development of SFHs into denser housing, and to implement an unimproved land value tax to discourage profiteering on land.

This is my dream to. It goes something like this:

- Find any cool tool online, download it, use it locally. Your data is persisted to your own local machine and your own personal cloud.

- Visit any website, download it as your own, modify it. Host it as your own and continue to add to it online.

- Browser vendors implement user accounts & hosting into the browser, so anyone can make a working app locally with a little bit of HTML and serve it to the whole internet with the press of a button.

- If your app takes off and goes viral, part of the economic value provided flows back to you through micropayments.

Basically: portable HTML "objects" that can be treated as mutable apps instead of only static documents = like GitHub + Codepen + Vercel + NoCode in one neat little package.

It's parsimonious because that was already the accepted answer as to the question of why you get an interference pattern in the two-slit experiment, even when you emit just one photon at a time.
It doesn't help under normal operating conditions.

It takes roughly 16ms at the speed of light to cross the US. 16ms is also coincidentally one entire cycle at 60Hz. So, who should sync to GPS and at what phase?

In addition, when the grid begins to get overdrawn, the phase begins to slide due to the physical nature of generators.

Global sync doesn't really matter; local sync is what's important.

As others said; flagging is a user-based process. This site has a fickle audience, and stuff like medicine and health science is tough to disseminate.

> If I had a bad idea, it can be easily disputed In a discussion.

By engineers? The focus of this site is two things; finance and technology. Health is important to all of us, but nearly none of us are qualified to comment on your findings, even if you were a doctor. I wish we all had doctorates; we'd probably get paid better, for one. But the best any of us can do is guess, unless you get lucky and find someone directly qualified to respond to it.

You're all good here, though. Nobody is mad at you for trying something, and most people will probably greatly respect your dedication to research. It's just a tough topic here, and really anywhere online. I recommend talking this over with your doctor friends, and if it goes anywhere, your name should get first-billing on the acknowledgement page. Good luck =)
