While this is clearly a philosophical point, I prefer to back things up with data, particularly when they are found to not work quite as well as promoted.

Recently I realised my weight had gone up a bit. I didn't want it to continue so I used my Apple Watch as an exercise tracker and a calorie counter to bring it under control. The objective was to lose the 6kg which made an appearance when I wasn't looking. After 3 months I'd lost 0.4kg. I did some calculations to work out my BMR and targeted loss and found that the calorie increment given by the exercise calculation was 300 cals a day off. Got rid of the watch and went back to manually tracking it and I'm back down at 64Kg and the Apple Watch departed via eBay.

Ergo, don't assume the thing nagging you isn't ignorant either. Verify then trust.
"AGI" is a nonsense term anyway. Humans don't have "general" intelligence either: our intelligence is specialized to our environment.

Ancillary Justice is a space opera set thousands of years in the future, where the principal power in human space is the expansionist Radch empire. The empire uses space ships controlled by AIs, who control human bodies ("ancillaries") to use as soldiers. The Radchaai do not distinguish people by gender, which Leckie conveys by using "she" pronouns for everybody, and by having the Radchaai main character guess, frequently incorrectly, when she has to use languages with gender-specific pronouns.

Have you checked Netflix? It's full of low budget slop.

>Studios consider international audiences more than ever before and comedy doesn’t transcend cultures easily.

I disagree. American and British comedies were incredibly popular with the youth in my Eastern European country. Same with humor from the GTA games and South Park.

>High budget action/comedy movies are being made instead e.g. fall guy.

Is Fall Guy supposed to be a comedy? I've watched it and I don't think I've laughed once. It didn't even make me push air out of my nose.
Something similar that I want us USB Force Feedback wheel (and joystick) support for the RP2040. I looked pretty deeply in to this and I was unable to find any libraries which do the necessary USB magic for the chip to build devices which show up on a computer as force feedback. There’s some code for the Atmega32u4 to do it and in general there is documentation around the web for how this stuff works, but actually digging in to USB spec stuff is not really my thing.

There is an open source gamepad library for the RP2040 but they said on GitHub issues and discord that they have no plan to pursue force feedback support.

But I designed a really nice brushless motor controller for the RP2040 and I’d love to make a force feedback wheel with it! I already have a motorized wheel I built to test this and I even made it work with motorized return to center as a regular USB joystick device, I just don’t know the magic incantations to make it in to a force feedback device.
so if you re making a 2d three.js or webgl game you dont recommend it?

A somewhat unexpected factoid about Apple and OSS, is that Apple doesn't seem to provide hardware to any OSS projects they didn't themselves create.

You’re right, purpose and intent matters, and the intent is to profit from the work of others without their permission and without crediting or compensating them in any way.
On point. Even then mentioning it used filter and map. But the bad refactor also uses filter and map. It's the exact same change of programming paradigm.

Given the text, I would have expected some minor refactor with range-based for loops (are these a thing? My JS is rusty). Where you get the advantage of map (no off-by-one indexing errors) without changing the programming paradigm.
Fores New Idles a.k.a. FNIS Broke
After having played the original Skyrim for more than 125 hours I didn't really feel the desire to get special edition or its anniversary upgrade until I managed to pick up anniversary at an extremely low price.

Firstly, I'd like to explain the various versions as many people may well be as confused by them as i was.

1. Skyrim (vanilla): This and number 2 are not the same game as those that came after and mods for either do not generally work with the other so for some who like older mods vanilla could still be a worthwhile option but I'd rec against.

2. Legendary Edition - vanilla skyrim plus the 3 dlc expansions.

3. Special Edition - A reworking of the original game including its 3 expansions. It gave minor enhancements to the bulk of the game also improved visuals and a big improvement in terms of difficulty balancing. It also introduced "creator" which is basically a mod store and mod management system.
Apple is rather interesting. On their new music Fridays the playlists alternate predictably between garbage and reasonable stuff. There are perhaps 1-2 reasonable songs on the reasonable stuff list and maybe 1 gets kept.

Considering the pool of music on the radio when I was a kid, that's a reasonable hit rate in my mind. I'm not sure I would cope with an influx of music larger than that.
The fact that these are Roblox games are blowing my mind. Wow!
Congrats (from a fellow Melbournian) on the launch. I used to work at Coles and Catch leading their online businesses, search and product recommendations was a big part of it. We had over tens of thousands of SKUs. It's harder when trying to do it with dynamic inventory locations and quantities (Coles had over 850 online stores that my team managed). We were looking at Algolia but it wasn't quite there yet (back then). I don't think anyone has solved for that as yet (I left Coles >5 years ago). Curious to hear how you would approach it.

These days I'm the founder of a circular economy marketplace for South Asian ethnic clothing and items - PurvX. The current search is terrible (due to the low-code platform it's on), will be keeping Shaped on my radar when we re-platform.
Well, usb4 should work just fine. TB4 instead means that it will probably not work with most devices, except maybe on intel, but maybe still not because a license could be missing. Very helpful "do not buy" logo.
Uh, no. It's not "normal" to find structural failures on your engine mounts on 3 different aircrafts during testing stages.

That points to major structural issues. Or better said, yet an other structural issue on an aircraft type that is already 5 years late.

> Events like the French Revolution proved them wrong:

To be fair nobody took it that seriously before either. Cities, regions, nobles etc. were constantly trying to challenge the king and his/her authority and protect/expand their rights and privileges.

It’s just that before the French Revolution they usually just wanted to extract additional privileges from the monarch or limit his powers (or in the worst case replace). The same thing happened in the French Regime before it got slightly out of hand..

e.g. even Louis XIV constantly had to fight the courts to force through his new laws (and was almost deposed in quasi-revolution(similar to the English civil war just without the religious element) at the beginning of his reign)

This is what happens when you keep your boat pointed at a fixed compass heading. I don't think anyone is intentionally sailing in spirals.
> I have no clue why people here are comparing a Raspberry Pi with an ESP32

The usual HN discussion of RPi goes something like this:

"The RPi 5 has gotten too expensive, these days intel small-form-factor PCs (possible second hand) are a better choice, giving better performance and no messing around with microsd cards"

"I need GPIOs, sub-3-watt power consumption, and I don't need the performance of the most expensive RPi model"

"If you need GPIOs and low power, why not ESP32?"
Are you the author of this paper? the mismatching LHS and RHS would be detected by 12y olds. Perhaps you are this young, in which case I approve of your attempts. Otherwise you are piping AI nonsense to the crowd which I disapprove of.

So I assume you mean "Alternative formulation of the proof" in section 6:

This relies on Lemma 15, which is right after where I gave up after about 3 basic errors. So let me continue.

Your attempt to prove Lemma 15 relies on multiple steps, the first of which states:

Step 1: the sequence a_n generates numbers of the Mersenne Prime form, where a_1 = 3 (and hence p=2), and where a_n+1 = a_n squared - 2.

While 3 is indeed a Mersenne prime, the next number will be 9 - 2 = 7, still fine, but the third number in your sequence is 7 squared - 2 = 49 - 2 = 47, which is not equal to any power of 2 decremented.

since Lemma 15 states false things, and your alternative proof relies on it, there is no alternative proof.
my only issue with Orange Pi is that it can't run the Ubuntu images that work on the Pi, I have to use the armbian Ubuntu. i'm not quite for if the responsibility is on Canonical or the SBC manufacturer. i'm just saying it's one of the reasons why I have trouble getting started with the Orange Pi

price-wise, though, Orange Pi is unbeatable. the Raspberry Pi has no business being more expensive than an Intel NUC
This reminded me of "When the Yogurt Took Over" by John Scalzi[0]. It's story about just letting superintelligent yogurt tell us what to do and solve all of our problems.

You can change the UI font size in Settings / User Interface / Font (double click to edit).

My main objection was "smooth scrolling" which I could turn off as "scroll transition". Bit annoying you can't search settings though. Don't know why I am looking at it though because I value the higher level things new editors will always be missing e.g. refactoring, debugging, test integration, advanced panel management and a million extensions I forget I rely on everyday.
For code search, I've heard Hound is pretty good but I haven't personally tried it yet. The UI is a bit clunky though. I'm wondering if one can port the old Apache-licensed Sourcegraph UI? https://github.com/hound-search/hound

Agree! I remember printing each issue and reading it over and over. So inspiring, convinced me that it's possible to figure out how everything works in tech, down to the wire.
I used to always point to Sourcegraph as a company that really understood dev culture and what it took to make devs happy, so this slow transition has definitely been painful to watch.

Just yesterday someone asked for an example of a public roadmap for a technical product, so I spent some time looking for Sourcegraph's, only to find out that they've also made most of their docs private. The public handbook was an amazing resource before, now it's been moved to Notion, and most of the interesting bits are links to private Google documents (which they used to do only for financial documents and other stuff that obviously needed to stay private).

Sad!

Open source can be a sustainable and profitable business model when companies combine it with strategic monetization efforts, strong community engagement, and the development of a robust ecosystem. However, it requires careful planning and execution to balance the benefits of open source with the need for revenue generation. Like Red Hat Elastic Yugabyte and MongoDB
I'm not at all claiming this is happening, I'm claiming this is very feasible to do. Consider the aperture (area) of a camera or telescope, how many times can you fit this area into a domestic solar panel installation?

If we are discussing the solar panel that powers your outdoor garden light, I don't suggest to apply the precautionary principle, but we are talking about products that sum up to a significant fraction of grid power generation.
> Also I don’t think Airbus would have a problem with Boeing going out of business.

I'm not quite certain. Airbus is possibly quite happy to have a stumbling giant occupying that space and tripping over its own feet. It's a lot more comfortable than having to compete against a heavily subsided Chinese company, like what is happening in the EV market. (Not that they are a threat at the moment)
The license explicitely allows that. Basically all third party integrations do exactly that.

For a general purpose home server/lab device that doesn't have a predefined use case and which might run different software over time, I agree the added memory gives you much more flexibility.

However, there are plenty of people using Pis in the maker space and embedded world where the device will just run one piece of software for the rest of its life, and often 2GB will be enough. This device is for those types of use cases, and offer substantial cost savings for them.
It used to work for some applications.

Back in the day, one could connect a bog-standard FireWire (IEEE 1394) cable betwixt a pair of Windows boxes, and it would create a (quite fast for the time) network for them to talk on.

Addressing was automatic with RFC 3927, and names just worked too.

After that, any appropriately-shared things on one machine would be accessible on the other.
Sending different Accept headers for <img> and direct requests was a mistake.

Not touching a piece of code in the first 6 to 9 months is something I don’t really agree with. Breaking complex methods up by extracting variables and methods can really help learning the code, whilst not breaking it.
If you are worried about consistency, just pair up of practice ensemble programming instead of asynchronous code reviews. Leaving a new dev alone with the code and give them feedback about the things they did wrong after they went through everything is just not a great way to treat people in your team.
The 1-minute mile must be right around the corner, and when that inevitably gets broken, the 1-second mile will follow swiftly.
Agreed. It's so much simpler when people run Linux locally too. Most of our dev environment problems are from people who don't. When you run it locally you also get good at using it which, unsurprisingly, helps a lot when you have to figure out a problem with the deployed version. Learning MacOS/Windows is kinda pointless knowledge in the long run.
For a NAS, surveillance, streaming and alike I think old smartphones are more efficient than modern Pi and analogies. They also have a screen, battery, less heating and other advantages.
