The replacement is currently less obvious with developers, AI work needs to be copy pasted to the right places in execution and the hooks into the rest of the code need to be set up right.

It doesn’t yet do prompt to 100% finished artifact.

For concept artists and illustrators at least who have very generic or commercial styles Diffusion models can create a final artifact that passes as good enough to a lot of clients.

Think developers would feel a bit different if they were in the same situation today.
They could sell fuckton of gold options before announcing the mission.
Just run all key frames through stable diffusion and it should be quite good.
I love it. I've got multiple 'Radio Music/Chord Organ' Eurorack modules, which use a Teensy 3.2 to generate audio such as playing files from an SD card, or generating tones to be an oscillator. This (now-obsolete) Teensy has an onboard 12-bit DAC, which is used for the audio.

I worked out how to pump up the sample rate to 300k and up, drastically reducing the aliasing for the simple tone generation. Works great: it's what expensive professional synths like the Novation Summit do.

I don't know how many of these will be made and out there before it too goes away, but as somebody who's spent a lot of time playing with perfboard and CMOS chips and soldering music synthesizers and processors together, but who is not up to the task of doing that within an SMD context, Nano DIP is an astonishing hybrid of those two worlds. .1 headers gets you into a world where all sorts of things can be made from parts. I've even got a bunch of DIP ATTinys, the much more primitive ones used in the Bastl Kastle, for the same reason, but while those would also fit into that world, this is far more capable and run at high sample rate the 8-bit output is more impressive than you'd think: aliasing turns into an odd sort of harmonic distortion at very high sample rate.

I hope this catches on, and I'm struggling not to just run off and buy a bunch of them even without a plan (when I haven't even used the Kastle-style ATTinys). As long as there are people with workshops full of vintage through-hole components and breadboards and perfboard etc. I hope there are projects like this that bridge the gap between that and the world of Arduino.

Imagine one of these with even better ADCs and a DAC that's natively 16 bit but able to clock up to silly rates when used on simple waveform generation (never mind that pulse and square waves need only be 1 bit, and sawtooth waves use only 1 bit for their characteristic part). You'd have a DIP 'chip' that would work like a really expensive analog Eurorack oscillator, available for hacking prototypes together. Heck, this is probably already there. I hope synth makers jump on this project. It seems hard to predict which Arduino-world things continue to be available (crude ATTinys) and which do not (Teensy 3.2 with the 12-bit DAC).

There's not really anything to it. As I mostly use console.athropic.com workbench(the API pay-as-you-go), I haven't played around much with the Artifacts--I am probably getting a Claude Pro subscription later today. But yeah I just copy/pasted my 2 code files in the window, told it I wanted a conversational voice interface model, and in less time than it took to describe it, it wrote it and even saved a bunch of output tokens by saying where to copy large parts of the first file's boilerplate code. That had been a project I started around Easter and had kept putting off because it felt too hard for my somewhat limited time. But there's no moat or special setup to this stuff; anybody who can communicate in a text box can productively use this tool.

The problem is that we want to find ideologies that work across millions of people. Even democracy is pretty terrible in modern countries because of how large they are, so it creates a lot of inequality and centralisation of expenditure.

I think the secret is to make the state smaller, not in the libertarian sense, but in actual geography and number of "subjects". No organisation has any business deciding the lives of tens or hundreds of millions of people. The trend is for governments to become larger and larger, just like any other empire. A one-world government, for example, would not be a utopia, it would be a veritable hell on earth.

Show HN: I made a Telegram bot for summarizing and posting top HN stories
Hi HN,
I made a Telegram bot that summarizes top Hacker News stories and posts them to a Telegram channel: https://t.me/hnbriefs.

What it does:
- Every 10 minute, the bot scrapes the Hacker News API for top stories.
- It filters and posts stories with a score of 100+
- Each post includes a brief summary of the story.

Why I built it:
I found myself wishing for a summary of a story to decide whether I want to delve deeper and read the full article. Sometimes, a brief summary is all I need.

You can find the source code on Github: https://github.com/johntad110/hnbriefs

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions!
it sure does make other psychedelics a lot lot lot more intense though
Huawei has occasionally received a lot of flak as well, which is somewhat understandable even though we haven’t been shown any hard evidence. Then somehow the Temu app started getting similar treatment in the news, which really never made much sense to me.

The supermicro thing never made it out of niche tech circles into mainsteam news/politicians comments, so I don’t count that (doubly so after it was reasonably debunked).
Depends on the institution. I’m sure that there are many actual scams advertising an online Masters degree you can earn that isn’t real, but a Masters degree earned from an accredited degree-granting institution, whether in-person or online, is in fact real. Accredited universities probably would not offer an online Masters degree(that costs tens of thousands of dollars in some cases, mind you) if it did not hold the same weight as an in-person Masters degree.

If you’re worried about the job competition impact, I would suggest focusing on your in-person/on-site achievements when building your resume.
This is the most amused I have been in days. Thank you!
You could say that actually being available to the public makes it pretty good relative to a product that's still vaporware 5 months after being announced. There's no timeline for Sora availability, or any indication of its compute demands, and by extension its cost per generation.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet suggests the following for your questions : Distinguishing Radar Pulse Reflections

To answer these questions, we need to consider several key aspects of radar technology and signal processing. Let's break it down:

Identifying your own pulses:
The main ways to distinguish your own reflected pulses from other sources are:

a) Frequency: While there is Doppler shift due to moving targets, the shift is typically small compared to the carrier frequency. Modern radars use sophisticated signal processing to account for and measure this shift.

b) Pulse coding: Radars often use unique pulse patterns or modulation schemes. This allows the receiver to correlate incoming signals with the known transmitted pattern, effectively filtering out other sources.

c) Timing: The time delay between transmission and reception is used to calculate distance. Signals arriving at unexpected times can be filtered out.

d) Direction: Using directional antennas or phased arrays, the radar system knows where it's transmitting and expects returns from that direction.

Dealing with weak reflections and interference:
a) High sensitivity receivers: Modern radar systems use very sensitive receivers to detect weak return signals.

b) Signal processing: Advanced digital signal processing techniques can extract weak signals from noise and interfering sources.

c) Frequency diversity: Some systems use multiple frequencies to improve detection and reduce interference.

Discerning from other vehicle transmissions:
a) Frequency allocation: Automotive radars typically operate in specific frequency bands. Within these bands, individual systems may use slightly different frequencies.

b) Time diversity: The probability of pulse overlap decreases with shorter pulse durations. Many modern systems use very short pulses or continuous wave techniques.

c) Spatial filtering: Directional antennas help focus on specific areas, reducing interference from other directions.

d) Signal characteristics: Different radar systems may use distinct modulation schemes, pulse repetition frequencies, or other signal characteristics that can be used to differentiate them.
You can do anything you want until you get caught doing it.

I don't think vaporware as a term really applies here. Sora is real and I've seen it used live - it actually works and it is pretty astounding. I don't know how well scaling it for the public will go but they definitely built the thing.

> Nudging and cajoling and perhaps berating our Swedish allies to jin up a "rape" case against him so he could be extradited from the UK to Sweden and then obviously to the US, and, denying that we were doing that was just dirty on our part.

Dunno if there was any "nudging and cajoling and berating", but from all I saw, those Swedish women (yes, plural) seemed to legitimately have a case. As I understood it, the case was dropped only because there seemed no chance to get him to Sweden to stand trial.

So whether he should have had no punishment at all, or sixteen consecutive lifetimes of hard labour, for spying, he's sure no saint -- and quite possibly deserved jail time -- in other ways.

...creating alternating layers of tabulated cement paste and thin polymer can significantly increase crack resistance and the ability to deform without completely breaking (ductility)

A few years ago, my daughter and I did a science fair project[0] based on a question she asked while we were crossing bridge in a car and she noticed the rebar poking out out of an adjacent bridge which was under construction.

In our experiment, we tried various reinforcements to concrete and tested the weight loading capacity before cracking. Quite surprising, at #2, was basic acrylic yarn layered perpendicularly in an overlapping "weave". By far the cheapest, lightest, strongest reinforcement that we tried!

This isn’t revolutionary; it simply means that federal employees would be able to seek damages in court that are similar to what private-sector employees could seek.

It’s still no walk in the park: you have to prove liability first, meaning you have to prove your whistleblower activity was the motive for your firing. (The government will cook up an alternate explanation, of course.) You have to prove your damages to a reasonable certainty. But if you do jump through those hoops, then you won’t hit a special wall previously erected to block an aspect of federal employees’ claims.
Usually, no. If they have a registered trademark, you definitely can't.
Assange is both being unfairly targeted for leaking embarrassing information and is a man with a troubling sexual history who likely raped a women in Sweden. Both can be true.

Do you know how many children Assange has? Do you know how much time he spent with them before his arrest? He seems to have a Musk like breeding fetish and was known to exploit his fame for sex. He even engaged in multiple relationships while in hiding and incarcerated.

Condom removal is rape. Sex with a sleeping person is rape. Sweden takes rape much more seriously than most countries and counts it differently.

Managing beta builds is the least revenue impacting thing from that list.

These tasks impact the company bottom line (and an SEs compensation) in that unhappy customers don't buy product. Leaving your customers to fend for themselves when they ask for help - and they will ask for help - will quickly lead to an SE getting replaced, either due to their company getting kicked out of an account and replaced with a competitor, or the SE kicked out of their company and replaced with a competitor.

The general consensus is that SEs spend, on average, about 20% of their working time on "post-sales" tasks. I'm not aware of any published data in this area, but it tracks with my experience, both as an individual SE and an SE manager for 15 years.

Brood War is still supported for 2 Reasons

#1 - It was LAN first, offline, distributed as Shareware. The forgiving netcode and leniency of distribution ended up with it as a standard install on any Internet Cafe on the planet in the early 00s. It also hit Korean culture at exactly the right moment for it to go so popular as to become a cultural touchpoint. There's a Malcolm Gladwell book in there somewhere - it literally became South Korea's unofficial national sport [1]

[1]https://www.wsj.com/video/starcraft-south-korea-unofficial-n...

#2 - It was subject to a high-profile remaster as part of Blizzard's "Classic Games division", who also did rushed and careless remasters of Diablo 3 and Warcraft 3. The post-release monetization here is quite telling, as it was basically all aimed at the Korean market - popular South Korean StarCraft casters and Children's TV hosts providing the available announcer packs, with the main cosmetic being a chibi-'cartoonised' version of the standard asset pack.
