Large 4k virtual screen is what makes me more productive vs my laptop screen.

I'll often have charts, etc. on a massive Safari "window" next to the virtual Mac screen, which is useful too.

Plus, side benefit for me who doesn't always have great posture, it helps me avoid being hunched over my laptop, I can place the screen nice and high in front of me.

Because the system is working according to plan.

Academy takes at least 30% of each grant that this people can suck from private investors or government.

Scammers have the talent to bring grants efficiently, because they just can fake the work or appropriate others work, and sell brilliant results that never happened. Universities are extremely pleased to have this people in their teams, as long as they keep bringing money and prestige. Politicians love them also, because everybody likes to be in the winner's photo.

If problems arise, they will just act shocked. Detach themselves from the scam, and apart of a small scandal that will last for a week, this is all the negative consequences for them. A real bargain. Academy has plenty of new people to select and find several replacements that fit in the new zeitgeist and keep bringing grants.

This money is also a life-saving for young researchers under the umbrella of the big charismatic boss, that just use them and lie about their own merits. Is either accepting the crumbs so they can keep a career while wait for their day, or going home.
The USB version doesn't directly imply link speed - USB 2.0 devices can be LS, FS, HS. The RP2040 can handily saturate LS/FS links.

With PIO or the SPI master and DMA you could absolutely make use of a USB HS PHY.
Well, your username is relevant.. ART doesn’t work like that at all?
Humans have bootstrapped by training the next generation. Why not LLMs?
I was wondering the same. I'm very happy with Alfred and I use the clipboard history a lot. There is just no way back to having only 1 item kept in memory!

Whoa, that doesn't even pass the smell test, let alone any kind of deeper analysis.

Certainly this depends on where you're going to live, but if you're in a place where startups are common (even considering the current remote work situation), $200k/yr will either be a stretch for you to meet your living expenses, or will require that you live fairly modestly, especially if you have dependents. If you are able to put any of that into savings/investments, it will be a fairly small amount.

With $700k/yr, you can live quite comfortably, while putting quite a bit away for retirement.

And I don't think your (1) & (2) points really make sense here. Investments compound over time; starting off in your early 20s putting $50k in your investment/retirement accounts every year vs $10k will give you a very different outcome once you reach retirement age. Hell, you'll reach a very different outcome in your 40s. (But honestly, if you decided to live a $200k/yr lifestyle at $700k/yr, you'll be saving so much money that you could easily retire in your 30s.)

It will also mean getting to put a down payment on that house much earlier, and/or being able to afford more of a house. And in the meantime, it will mean being able to dine at fancier restaurants, take more luxurious vacations, buy more expensive toys, etc., if that's the sort of thing you value. And I wouldn't even consider all this to be lifestyle creep (as you genuinely wisely advise against downthread of a sibling comment); this kind of lifestyle would be perfectly sustainable at $700k/yr, but not at $200k/yr.

(But really, though, who the hell is making $700k/yr in their early 20s? Very few, very exceptional people, that's who.)

So sure, the LLM occasionally pranks someone, in a way similar to how random Internet posts do; it is confidently wrong, in a way similar to how most text on the Internet is confidently wrong because content marketers don't give a damn about correctness, that's not what the text is there for. As much as this state of things pains me, general population has mostly adapted.

Meanwhile, people who would appreciate a model that's 99% right on things where the 1% is costly, rightfully continue to ignore Gemini and other models by companies too afraid to play in the field for real.
The problem isn't friends who are fraudsters. The problem is that a lot of people are automatically and blindly loyal to anything that presents itself as "science", because they perceive it as being ideologically on their side. Such people aren't interested in details. If you attack fraud all they hear is that you're attacking good and noble scientists who are only trying to save the world from {cancer,misinformation,CO2,COVID,whatever} and what sort of monster would do that? Are you a right winger ... friend?

And I'd argue that if they're willing to protect someone faking research they're no better and should follow them in jail.
I somewhat secretly hope that they move their ChromeOS display stack over to Android (with compatibility shims where obviously needed).

It probably would work out better in the long run considering I keep on seeing more pushes to have Android be usable on "desktop sizes", which with their mostly Wayland stack on ChromeOS would allow a lot of desktop native apps to mostly work.
Not so much easier but enables a different class of cheats in games where players don't have perfect information, even with other schemes there is normally enough information leaked that similar cheats are possible. OTOH using a deterministic simulation prevents a whole class of other cheats.
Then, you should check out papers like https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.13971 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.09288

In the paper covering the original Llama they explicitly list their data sources in table 1 - including saying that they pretrained on the somewhat controversial books3 dataset.

The paper for Llama 2 also explicitly says they don't take data from Meta's products and services; and that they filter out data from sites known to contain a lot of PII. Although it is more coy about precisely what data sources they used, like many such papers are.
And how devastating heat stroke can be. Just look at poor Michael Mosley recently.
> Even if you create a sub-module layout that you include in every project you work on... that's still n slightly different permutations of the same thing, even if they are all perfect. (They aren't.)

Part of hardware design is letting go of your neuroses. The real world isn't a perfect place. You operate with the situation you have for the design at hand.

Ask yourself why you really need everything to be the exact same.

Laying down a handful of capacitors, a single of QSPI flash, and a crystal should become second nature to anyone professionally practicing in this field.. it should take 30 seconds to position and rotate these components near the appropriate pins and not too much longer to route (minutes at most if you've done it before for this MCU.)

No, it's a very stripped down browser.

Firefox with 0 browser extensions and only opened on that note taking website consumes 450MB of RAM, while my Obsidian installation only consumes 136MB.

Even just looking at that specific tab (on Chrome because Firefox doesn't show it), it consumes 86MB of RAM on the demo. I'll happily spare 50 extra MB for all the features of Obsidian.
No. The disclosure statements this time are VERY different.
Love him or hate him, I think it's clear Musk has lost the focus on Tesla he once had. He was good for the company for quite some time, but I would argue that at this stage he's more of a hindrance than a help.
I'm puzzled why they have helium leaks all over? I mean gas valves aren't really a new technology.
Both those games are contemporaries of the Serious Sam series though. StarCraft came out three years before the first Serious Sam! But yeah fighting games and RTS games both commonly use deterministic sims.
Sure. I'm still learning how to best use it but I'll take 360 8K pics of events, interesting locations, etc. Sometimes as alternatives to panoramas. Downsides are poor low light performance and you need a separate viewer (I use "A 360 Viewer" on the AVP).

With the selfie stick, you can get nice angles, e.g. extending over castle battlements, which are fun to view in VR (as long as you don't have vertigo :-)

I'm also shoot 360 videos. A few precious ones I keep as 360 vids on the AVP, the rest get uploaded as unlisted vids on YT in 360 mode.

Some of my favorite vids are short clips filmed around a dinner table with the X4 in the middle. Really nice way to relive those moments and see the people you love all around you. Extra fun when everyone clinks their glasses together in a toast around the camera!
I don't see anything in that link which indicates the total value of taxes paid by NYS residents to NJ or the net. That said, I think it only takes a casual observation of bridge, tunnel, and mass transit hubs during rush hours that illustrate the balance. The overwhelming majority of "human capital" flows into NYC for work, not out, which should reasonably predict the difference in tax collections on non-residents between states.
Bad news is, when did that ever happen?
I remember when I was interviewing for basically an apprenticeship for the job/career I do now. They asked us to prepare and deliver a 10 minute presentation on why we wanted the job, that we were to give after we had completed the interview.
During the interview they asked some serious questions but also questions like “imagine you had to find out the weight of a Boeing 747, but you’re not allowed to use scales, how would you do it?”. And then things like “if you could be a sandwich, which flavour would you choose, and why?” - everyone on the interview panel seemed so serious, and so it was quite a weird, and also intense interview.
At the end, I gave my presentation, with the last side being a pie chart of all the things I hoped to gain from the job, and then the pie chart morphed into a smiley emoji and said… and “JOB SATISFACTION” at the end they thanked me, and then I heard nothing for 10 days. Eventually they offered me the job, one day I was sitting with one of the guys who interviewed me, and he told me I did the best interview they’d ever seen, and I was like… thanks but what was with some of those weird questions? and he was like…

“Oh… we just wanted to see how you’d react to uncertainty, and ambiguity while in a stressful situation, you did really well”.

I actually think while the questions were not directly relevant to the job I do, it was a good way to test how I’d react in uncertain and stressful times.

I definitely feel stressed at work often, but I never ever externalise it. Even today, I had a situation that was so stressful, I was literally feeling like I couldn’t breath, but I just held my shit together and then when appropriate I left the room to have a drink of water and take a few deep breaths to get myself grounded basically to do it all over again.

I think it’s been the best interview experience because it’s lead to some of the most interesting and personally challenging life and career experiences and even though I don’t plan to be doing the job I do now forever, it truely has been a pretty life changing one and I think I’m pretty lucky overall.
I get such a laugh out of the negative sentiment about Tesla and Musk on HN. Such a predictable crowd.

Sorry I mean macros / or whatever. You know what I mean(?).

> that's a trade-off that you lose as soon as you write more than a maybe a hundred lines of code

And yet you can have braces with e.g. 2-3 lines of code. Anyway this is beyond tedious now, sorry for provoking you with my code, or my opinion that Forth is interesting, or with the praise I received, or that Forth kicked your dog or something; I'm not really sure what did it. I have talked with you in good faith to try and help you understand why it's interesting to me, I don't claim it's an absolute good or even necessarily practical in most situations.
Hopefully my answer to your other comment makes sense. If not, let me know!

(I do programming, trading, consulting).

EDIT: Thought of one more thing... Immersive environments also help. Blocking out what's around me and escaping to, say, the top of a volcano or Mount Hood or Yosemite, increases my focus, esp. for deep work
Why is placing a single component with massive pads next to the two relevant MCU pins "too much?"

I expect to do this exact same exercise with absolutely every single semi-complex IC (MCU or not) I use - it's a routine activity.

New builds require Roofs: 0.11 W/m²K. Walls: 0.18 W/m²K. Floors: 0.13 W/m²K. Assume 2024 houses are 7mx7mx5m high and terraced.

So you have 70m² of wall, 49m² of roof and floor. Total 24.6 W/K. So, with the average UK electricity consumption (300 watts), plus the body heat of 3 people (300 watts) you have 600 watts of heating, which should keep that building 25 deg C above the outdoor temperature.

The UK in winter normally averages about 5C, so you'd have an indoor temperature of 30C - plenty toasty.

Obviously many buildings don't meet the required standards, people aren't home all day, there are air leaks, etc. But, for most buildings, heating is still not required most of the time.
AI is not like some random person posting on the Internet.

A random person on the Internet often has surrounding context to help discern trustworthiness. A researcher can also query multiple sources to determine how much there is concensus about.

You can't do that with LLMs.

I cannot stress strongly enough that direct comparisons between LLMs and experts on the Internet are inappropriate.
Every hardware vendor is working to provide something with their own technology. I don't know if it's possible but a lot of very resourceful companies are doing their best to break the CUDA dominance. I really hope it works and hopefully a non proprietary standard emerges.
For one, they didn't use TensorRT in the test.

Also, stuff like this is hard to take the results seriously:

* To make an accurate comparison between the systems with different settings of tensor parallelism, we extrapolate throughput for the MI300X by 2.

* All inference frameworks are configured to use FP16 compute paths. Enabling FP8 compute is left for future work.

They did everything they can to make sure AMD is faster.
I was thinking of resolving collisions the way you would simulate boyancy: by applying a force and torque from a certain point (the center of boyancy, the center of the subvolume that is submerged), calculated by pressures (i.e., which areas of the object "dip into" the other object). This should also fix the bouncy jitter that happens when objects lie flat on their face, without needing a "ground" state.

Imagine a bug coming from the ground state design: an object is grounded onto another object, but that other object slowly tilts. The grounded object never slides off, but remains suspended in air.
I identify as a craftsman but I resonate with the above comment.

Ultimately programming is half technical (what does the computer do) and half human expression (reading and writing code).

The latter [0] is really more of an art than a science or an engineering discipline. Look at all the attempts to prove that one particular way of writing programs is more productive, comprehensible or maintainable than others. They all failed in unique ways, perhaps because human communication is highly complex and contextual. The only thing we all might agree on is "consistency is good".

[0] The former is in my opinion generally overlooked in many fields, even though it's the most measurable. But it is apparently often in conflict with with the latter unfortunately.

Yeah ejection is no joke. It's pretty much guaranteed to get at least spinal damage due to compression.
Most PC and server hardware has FLOSS drivers (with proprietary firmware), even Qualcomm is upstreaming support for the new Snapdragon Elite (maybe it's made by a different team?).

I think phone SoCs are the odd ones out, which sadly doesn't mean they'll improve any time soon. Supporting an ABI for binary drivers in Linux might help phones, but it would give everyone else a chance to regress in their support, so I understand Linux kernel developers' position.
EU to Impose Duties of Up to 38% on Chinese Electric Vehicles
I’m not convinced the paper shows this “works”. Table 3 clearly shows zero-shot image classification is worse with the recaptioned labels.

All the results that show improvement seem to be evaluations using LLMs, e.g. they are showing LLMs think the LLM-generated text is better, which is neither surprising nor expected to correlate with real downstream task performance - unless your final task is labelling for an LLM, e.g. retrieval I guess.
Ask HN: I am an ex-founder, why is it so tough to get a job?
I ex-founder of a DevTools marketing company (which consists of 80% development and 20% marketing for reference). I am still getting inquiries for acquisition.

My clients are some of the top developer tools. I quit my company just because, I wanted to do some focussed building work, instead of spending time on servicing clients. As I am a developer and builder at heart.

Moreover people from some VCs (the main ones infact) also told me that although I might make some money, I won't be able to create an impactful company this way in which they would ever like to invest in.

I am also currently building an AI/RAG application which is getting some good traction.

In university I used to be one of the good competitive coders in the whole country. I can crack about any coding interview with some revision for sure.

When I am applying for the positions of product engineer (where they are specifically mentioning that they need someone who can collaborate with product, UX and other teams).

I am still not getting even an interview.

I can't understand why my resume is getting rejected everywhere.

I have talked to some of the best developers and product managers. And I do not feel that I am inferior in knowledge or capabilities at all. And they all have loads of offers and HRs messaging them left and right.

Infact, I think I can help companies grow even any support or help at all.

Any insight would be a great help.

Thanks
With temperature set to 1, it recognizes the joke, but proceeds to explain what the "bus" is in computer terms, picks a problem this prompt could mean, and explains how to solve it. In ~20 tries it always gave me something along the lines of:

The infamous "GPU falling off the bus" issue!

This problem typically occurs when a graphics processing unit (GPU) is not properly seated or connected to its expansion slot, such as PCIe, on a motherboard.

Here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:

Or you can just write/add a second-stage bootloader after the ROM bootloader and get the best of both worlds?

Probably depends on if they work for NASA directly or a contractor. NASA generally doesn't fire people for mistakes, especially if there are lessons that can be learned to prevent others from making the same mistake in the future. Plus NASA is majority unionized, so there's a process that's usually not worth going through to fire someone when you can just reassign them somewhere else.

If they work for a contractor who now has egg all over their face, yeah, might be a rough day at work.
Not just a running server, you can hook into a running cluster and do such things.

The Observer, :observer.start(), is another very nice tool. Might require some widget libraries for the GUI but you'll likely have set that up on the machine you're doing the introspection from.
I can't lie, I loved programming for many years. It used to be my main hobby too. Trying any new language or software, reading programming books, contributing to many chats across libera/freenode and what not.

But since I have become a freelancer and I started working in smaller contexts where the focus is to ship decent code at a higher rate this passion has vaned. I think this is overall good for me as an engineer, but has removed lots of fun and often learning from my daily job.
This is a mixup of money and wealth. Money is not wealth, and in the same vein, the point of the game if you'd like to call it that, is not to make money, but to become wealthy. These are two very different things.

Wealth is possession of real assets, natural resources, real estate, valuable companies, in classical econ terms, any scarce resource. Money is not a scarce resource, for nearly marginal cost we could create a near infinite amount of it (and in the digital age of banking we often do create large amounts of it with no direct cost). You can't create more oil, land, houses etc without incurring considerable costs, whether it be in the form of effort, time or etc and that's what makes those resources scarce. Money is scarce if you look at it on a personal level, you can't just create more money for yourself, but that doesn't make it scarce on a global level.

What might create some confusion is that wealth is often measured in money, but that doesn't make it the same thing. Wealth is real resources and money is the means we use to decide who gets how much of those real resources.
