Ok so as someone working on something vaguely similar (portable computer, slightly different market, more RF focus) I assure you this person is just rambling on a blog.

Basically everything on their blog/faq ranges from inept to dangerously misleading.
There's a lot of Men-in-Teaching advocacy, in part because its thought having male teachers tends to be beneficial for male students[1].

I think stuff like that is the main reason to be worried about gender imbalances. A 40-60 imbalance probably isn't a big deal, but once you get to like, 90-10 or worse, as is the case with early education, you start to get a bunch of secondary social problems. Kids who associate learning as a woman only thing, or the culture around engineering or software becoming "boys clubs" that become uncomfortable for the women who do want to work in those fields

I like it a lot. I currently mostly use Simplenote for quick note taking, but that often takes too long and I have to come up with a "note title", which I do not like. I just want to jot something down, quickly.

I'll be trying this over the next couple of days. My immediate worry is that the app will not find its business model and will get neglected and then disappear in a year or two…

I believe the description is wrong. There is no RS-485 serial port on these devices, at least not what I can find in the manual/wiring diagrams. There's just the isolated pulse output.

Product is a lot more prestigious at most companies. Design is too, at quite a few, in that it’s often a better stepping stone to product, though that depends on the org.

In general, programming jobs are low-status. High pay, but low status.

If the game could work properly with a quantized 7B or 3B it could even be runnable directly in the user's browser with WA on CPU. I think there are a couple implementations of that already, though keep in mind that it there would be a several GB model download.

There are cultures where the basic directions are north, east, south, west, which they use pervasively in preference to forward/back/left/right. People from such a culture are very good at keeping track of their absolute orientation and are uncomfortable with body-relative directions.
While there are plenty of certifications for aircraft maintenance and testing, this is legitimately a capacity issue. The air density issue is huge for aircraft. It caps maximum operating ceilings (as in the aircraft literally can't go any higher), it affects engine power (hence why things like intercoolers are an issue for performance engines), and it affects takeoff distance.

Ironically, it can increase the overall airspeed, since less dense air is easier to move through.

Ask HN: Where have you found "your people" in real life?
Outside of work, school, and the Web, how have you discovered groups of other people you felt understood you and your individual interests without having to over-explain or qualify your statements? I don't mean hobby partners or "friends" as the term is commonly but misleadingly used. Rather, I mean individuals with whom you share a mutually intelligibility in a broad and deep set of subjects or experiences.
> It feels like you've determined there's nothing wrong with pyenv, pip, and virtualenv so any issues brought up, you will reject.

Alternatively, I'm rejecting your claims because you keep making them and then not providing evidence. Now that you've actually described the problem, I can agree that that's a footgun, and pyenv should start to strongly discourage setting a global version in much the same way that pip has started to protect against people using `sudo pip install` to trash their systems.

Maybe you’ll get lucky, but chances are that someone somewhere will report you. And, unless you are operating entirely out of China, it will hurt. A lot. Both your company and maybe even you, personally.

And that for good reason. Any bad actor on the RF spectrum can be an actual, significant and direct threat to people's lives - particularly the EMS bands as well as the rail, marine and flight safety/coordination channels are absolutely vital. Up next is stuff like GPS, radio and television where disturbances affect a lot of people, and then there's local stuff like wifi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, door openers and whatnot that only affects very few people.

Unfortunately it is very, very easy to be a bad actor on the airwaves. Powerline/PLC is hated by radio amateurs for a reason, and that one is actually even licensed. The other stuff is much, much worse.
Well I'd tell you that they aren't a thing in California.
They don't drown/die. There is an instinctive response to not being able to keep oneself over water that has certain "look". The videos show busy pools and you basically try to find Waldo before the lifeguard pulls them out.
That bit about PCs and phones was surprising, but I guess not unexpected. I have built many "EMI test versions" of code so various products can be taken to the test house. We don't go to those extremes: typically, we'll run as close to worst case as we can get, but nothing unrealistic. Then again, no one but us is loading code onto our devices, so it's not like a PC where you have no control over what it's running.

If you've got a spare hour or two, the Portishead NYC Roseland concert features a live orchestra. Highly recommended because Beth Gibbons has a gorgeously expressive singing voice, and all the performers are fantastic.
Same way they answer any question: piece together a statistically probable sequence of words to follow the prompt. All they know about an image is a handful of words a classifier might choose to describe it. If those words have nothing to do with the question being asked, they can't nudge the model in the general direction of a correct answer, so it's a crapshoot- even moreso than usual.
You're mixing up events. The reclassification happened in 1980 (correction: 1982, I can't math), ~4 years prior:

"A second major event regarding the joint seal occurred in the summer of 1982. As noted before, in 1977-78, Leon Ray had concluded that joint rotation caused the loss of the secondary O-ring as a backup seal. Because of May 1982 high pressure O-ring tests and tests of the new lightweight motor case, Marshall management [126] finally accepted the conclusion that the secondary O-ring was no longer functional after the joints rotated when the Solid Rocket Motor reached 40 percent of its maximum expected operating pressure. It obviously followed that the dual O-rings were not a completely redundant system, so the Criticality 1R had to be changed to Criticality 1.53 This was done at Marshall on December 17, 1982. The revised Critical Items List read (See pages 157 and 158)"

https://www.nasa.gov/history/rogersrep/v1ch6.htm

Also, the issues with the o-rings not sealing properly were known from the very beginning. Thiokol's seal design was extremely unorthordox, NASA engineers objected before the contract selection, testing showed substantial leakage during both static pressure testing and actual firings. NASA management ignored all this, and Thiokol insisted it wasn't a problem and re-wrote the pass/fail standards in terms of leakage.

There were numerous problems; the o-rings were glued instead of molded as they had been on the Titan, the boosters were assembled horizontally (something that had never been done before - certainly not on the largest solid rocket motor ever built), the o-ring assemblies were not inspected for voids...the list of incompetence just goes on and on.

Really, people: read the report.
> without having to scan through dozens of your components looking for a pattern

Wouldn't you have to scan disparately located CSS files anyway? How many projects have you seen with nonsensical or clobbered classnames or conflicting rules?

Really for a lot of designs I think you can just eyeball it. If `px-4` looks about right, then use it. Otherwise you can find a similar component and hijack the exact padding if you want, or get it from the design.

You probably think @apply makes more sense because you know and like traditional CSS. You want to apply tailwind classes and condense them into a single reusable one. Tailwind asks you to think in a different way. The classes are aptly named (mostly) and granular (one class per css directive), so my knowledge of CSS felt very transferable.

<LinkButton4 />

Imo should be

<LinkButton variant={"homepage"} />

Leveraging something like Class Variance Authority or more simply:

<LinkButton className="text-xl other-override-here" />

Using tailwind-merge

I have found tailwind to be indispensable, and it pairs particularly well with React.

Running and upgrading any site has a non-trivial amount of work, especially if it has any sort of dynamic content or CMS.

What would you propose a person or company do if they want to stop running a popular site (ie, not fund it going forward), but still keep the content up, if without any changes?

This keeps happening - older tech sites like https://techreport.com also got sold off and all the new publishing is sensationalist/cryptoscam crap.

What we need is a benevolent crap-free way to just freeze old sites in place, with all the URLs intact, and all the hosting paid for...
Same. 3.5 Sonnet seems particularly good at React and Tailwind. I'm moving away from other frameworks and libraries to React and Tailwind because of this.
This may be true. As I noted, I've only worked at very "desirable" companies so my views are potentially skewed. That being said, I can't imagine that DEI has gotten significantly worse across the industry while vastly improving at the top end but I have no data to back that up.
Different strokes for different folks. I think it's important to find a good balance. I've seen Go and C projects that don't use enough directories, so navigating the code can be a little untenable. In the example given in the article, I would scrap all the subdirectories in `/features/UserManagement`. I think the file names are sufficient to indicate what purpose they serve and putting them in subdirectories by type doesn't really offer any value.

> What I’ve noticed is that there are companies that care to be inclusive. It’s an active undertaking, not a passive one.

That is a failure, you don't need to actively be inclusive if the problem is solved. See doctors for example, in my country kids ask if men can be doctors since they see them so rarely, the "women aren't doctors" thing has been solved, there is no need to do anything at that point except try to ensure it doesn't tip to the other side.

> Statistically there should be at least one or two.

That isn't how statistics works, statistically there would be 2-3, 0 is perfectly normal just by random chance. If you intentionally try to only join teams with more than average women then of course you see more and more women, even though the field as a whole hasn't changed.

Edit: And given that SRE often have lots of on-call I'd bet there are much less women there than regular SWE roles. Men tend to be over represented in roles that sacrifices free time.
> sexagesimal mesopotamian number system was used positionally from the beginning

This is oversimplified. The sexagesimal place-value system developed gradually over centuries+ from various inconsistent unit systems for length, weight, fluid volume, counting, ..., which were eventually (partially) standardized. This long development took place in tandem with the development of cuneiform writing, both ultimately originating in a record-keeping system involving clay tokens sealed in clay envelopes. For a detailed version, Eleanor Robson's book Mathematics in Ancient Iraq is excellent.
Nice, I see. So everything is managed within the email system.
Thanks! Yeah, simplicity and ease of use are definitely selling points.
Uh.... public libraries pay for their books. Then they share them with taxpayers who fund them. You may see this as "free", but your tax dollars are actually compensating the authors.
NVDA's moat is over-stated. There are several deep-pocketed players with pretty good AI chips. The big players are training models at such a large scale that they can afford to back them by different architectures. Smaller players use frameworks like Pytorch and Tensorflow, but those are backed by big players buying from Nvidia.

But valuation isn't the NVDA trade right now; it's that there's still a bigger fool.
Doesn't Gemini have a 2 million token limit for exactly this?
Wow, that is embarrassingly bad performance for current SOTA models (GPT-4o, Gemini-1.5 Pro, Sonnet-3, Sonnet-3.5), which are advertised and sold as being able to understand images, e.g., for guiding the blind or tutoring children in geometry!

The tasks at which they fail are ridiculously simple for human beings, including, for example:

* counting the number of times two lines intersect;

* detecting whether two circles overlap;

* selecting which letter is being circled in a word;

* counting the number of circles in an Olympic-like logo.

This should be at the top of the front page.
Seriously though, make an appointment with a gastro doctor. They can review things with you. There's a few blood tests they can do, maybe an ultrasound. And then maybe a colonoscopy. These things are all pretty cheap from an American medical perspective.

If it's bothering you enough to tell the internet about it, go see the doctor.
It's wild to me that everyone here is taking this seriously. This is high school science fair level stuff.
I'm not arguing that the US and its allies could defeat China and its allies in a hypothetical WW3. I'm also not arguing that they couldn't.

I'm saying that China would like to avoid WW3.

It would not be good for business, and it also might sort of end humanity via nuclear war.
It’s indeed a hassle if you were to mix your own CSS classes and Tailwind, but I don’t do that. Instead I use Tailwind for its design system and set of defaults.

My own CSS is classic BEM style, so very component like.

In hindsight I could easily replace Tailwind and just produce a set of CSS variable as a design system.
No way would any of those have any have bindings to backend libraries like cuDNN.
> So getListOfUsersWithFoodPreferences and getListOfUsersWithFoodPreferencesWithoutFavouriteFoods living together as client-specific methods is absolutely fine

Sorry; my point was that adding this function as a public API 'onion layer' in your code means you're less able to adapt to change. The fact this function returns a `User` entity isn't particularly important - it's the fact when you make a function public, other teams will reuse your function and add invariants you didn't realise existed, so that changing your function in the future will break other teams' code.

Less public 'onion layers' means less of this
Maybe because the devices are now, finally, not shitty and not prone to lots of bugs and don't break down so often? Every Apple phone from iPhone 11 and every mac from the first M1, were more or less bug free. It's not surprising people aren't rushing to trash them.

Intel's profit, and revenue, have declined for 3 consecutive years. Their price to earnings ratio is 36.

Nvidia's revenue is now greater than Intel's with 20% of the employees that Intel has. Their PE ratio is 78, roughly double that of Intel.

The market valued Nvidia as growing and Intel as not.

Management often leads to better compensation.
I got interested in Starship from a project management point of view, as an example of applying an iterative style adapted from software development to a large-scale hardware project. On the plus side, it makes possible, for example, going from transpiration cooling for reentry to a tile heat shield, a change that ArianeSpace or Blue Origin might have struggled to do without a complete redesign. On the other hand, it makes it possible to ignore technical debt from incremental changes that accumulate until you find the payload is half what was spec'ed.

The biggest challenge SpaceX faces are that key milestones are inter-linked: It has to be cheap; it needs to have a big payload, over 100 tons; it needs to be really rapidly reusable, like restack, refuel, and relaunch. If any one is incomplete the others are out of reach, and it's only good for big payloads to LEO.
I also have some digital thermometers, and personally don't have any preference digital vs analog in them. For home use, +/- one degree or percentage of humidity don't really make a difference. As for reliability I don't think you can beat analog, which will last for decades without changing a battery.
That's just incredible! Thank you so much for sharing :)
Textual trending to a new de-facto basis for cross-platform gui apps is a HUGE improvement from every new app being js and Electron!

Not to mention replacing heavy Java gui apps as well! The myriad DB guis for whatever historical reason have mostly been slow heavy, and paid, Java apps.

I'd actually written a thing that integrated cli db tools(eg [1]) with kitty[2] and visidata to show a query editor and then results underneath in a kitty split pane. Now I've been using Harlequin[3] in my terminal. So nice to have these apps be fast programs that live in a terminal tab instead of their own bloated poorly-keyboard-driven Electron apps.

This sums up the broad concept of Compliance and security in general. The people who pretend to care about compliance (i.e. management) don't have the technical know-how to grok the implementations by those who pretend to implement said compliant systems. There isn't remotely enough QA/red-teaming (expensive to do in a bias-free manner), most of the time all you need to do is scribble in the box and everyone is going to squint and pretend it's checked.

Bigger engines won't help overcome lower air density.

First, bigger engines mean more weight, which will mean more power required to lift the base weight of the aircraft. Second, the problem isn't (ironically enough) pushing the blades through the air, it's the limit of each blade's ability to generate lift. Third, they can't just spin the blades faster, since they're approaching the speed of sound at the tips as it is. Breaking that speed causes a whole new set of issues to design around.

It's a balancing act, and the weight/lift/capacity/payload balance has already been struck in many cases. Will we see new designs? Perhaps, as they become economical due to climate change.
