We'll have a range of tips. Hitting the high performance we wanted, with 100 Watt output in a small iron, required really optimizing the entire system. The heating element and temperature sensor are in the tip itself.

We really see JBC as our competition here. Performance and responsiveness should be comparable or better, at a fraction of the price.
Zig also got this right.
The (semi) automatic simplification algorithm provided in the paper for KANs seem, to me, like they're solving a similar problem to https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.04035, but with the additional constraint of forward functional interpretability as the goal instead of just a generalized abstraction compressor.

I paid ~$100 for my Hakko FX888D, and have had had that for almost 10 years. Looking on the Internet, the price hasn't gone up much. Not sure whether this (for $250 including the power supply) is a class above that. The repairability is a definite plus (assuming parts continue to be available for many years), and all the nerdy features are also cool, but not sure how useful they will be in the real world.

I usually only edit 1 function using LLM on old code base.

On Greenfield projects. I ask Claude Soñnet to write all the function and their signature with return value etc..

Then I've a script which sends these signature to Google Flash which writes all the functions for me.

All this happens in paraellel.

I've found if you limit the scope, Google Flash writes the best code and it's ultra fast and cheap.

OpenBC: Open Bitcoin Credit- a Game-Changer for Bitcoin-Backed Lending
Hey HN,

Just like OpenAI made AI more accessible and useful for businesses and developers, we’re doing the same for Bitcoin-backed lending with OBC (Open Bitcoin Credit Protocol).

OBC simplifies a complex and fragmented space by allowing financial institutions to use native Bitcoin as collateral—no need for wrapping it into Ethereum tokens (WBTC). We designed OBC with institutional compliance (KYC/AML) in mind, so banks and lenders can offer Bitcoin-backed loans without the usual risks or technical overhead.

If you're a fintech or financial provider looking to offer Bitcoin-backed lending to your customers, we’d love to connect and explore how OBC can support you.

Also, we’re gearing up for a token pre-sale to fund the protocol’s growth. If you’d like to participate, send me your email and wallet address at kevin@cocopago.app to receive a YC alumni discount. We're the Coco team from the S19 YC batch.
One of the state parks in Utah (I forget which one), has a sign that says: "Where did the Ancestral Puebloan people go?" With the answer of "We're right here. Come say hi to us at the information desk."
They never promised high-density. Semiconductor memristors were always fated at staying at a much lower density than the same amount of capacitive memory. And that's before you get into the manufacturing issues and the problem that it loses "data" when read.

Those things where hyped out of nowhere, with lots of blatant lies making into the popular discourse (like that high-density prediction). I don't even know why, because nobody was making any serious bet on them. They are a very interesting design, that may still get some real-world usage (the manufacturing problems are a showstopper right now), but won't ever compete with flash.
Aider also uses AST (tree sitter), it creates repo map using and sends it to LLM.
Life-critical devices are generally subject to a lot of regulations. Regulations that were in many cases written in blood. However I suspect you're correct that there isn't much periodic, retrospective review of these regulations and whether they still make sense or can be simplified. Especially when there are overlapping or possibly contradictory regulations.

We know what wide-open unregulated markets result in when lives are at stake. It would be nice to think that engineers and executives would never sacrifice human life for profit, but we know that some of them will.

I also think about all the advice I read on this forum to "raise your rates" and "charge based on the value you deliver, not what your costs are." But when physical engineering companies take this approach, it's somehow just greed or complacency. Of course any potential client can just decide to hire their own staff and do the job in-house if your quote is viewed as unreasonable.

It's our own design, although clearly inspired by those who came before.

I'm really happy with their quality, but you'll have to judge that for yourself.

We're handling the boosting automatically in software. When the iron detects that it's under load, it maxxes out the power to the tip. It's incredibly responsive.

You're right, where you want that is with high thermal mass objects like ground planes. The difficult part is getting enough of a thermal bridge onto the material to really let the iron rip. It can dump a lot of power into a joint.
Portland has that to a degree. A lot of streets will end due to terrain, only to start up again half a mile further where the terrain levels out a bit.

The episode Okuda refers to where Marina Sirtis is on the Battle Bridge is the very first episode of TNG "Encounter at Farpoint" which aired in 1987... basically filmed in 1986 - same year the movie Aliens came out

About 3/4 of the bootcamp learners I've interviewed only did the minimum to get through the course(s). I've found the biggest differentiator for bootcamp learners are those who did more than they were assigned and those who only did what they were assigned. There seems to be a very significant basic knowledge and skill gap between those two groups. It's even more significant in my experience than those with a more traditional education or self-taught.
Academic Activists Send a Published Paper Down the Memory Hole (2018)
Regarding technology taking time: look at LEDs.

- The effect first discovered: 1907.

- First prototype device built: 1927.

- First commercially viable parts shipping: early 1960s.

- Ubiquitous and cheap as an indicator device: 1980s.

- Highly efficient, used for lighting: 2010s.

The principle never changed along the way. The specific materials changed quite a bit.
> I've never had to physically restrain anyone, but seems like that would actually be easier to do on the ISS. Just wrap them up and let 'em float around

A great way of restraining someone is pushing them against an unmovable object. On Earth, that is either the floor or a wall, then you can pin them somewhat against that, at least restricting them somewhat.

Walls and floors are the same in space, and the person can literally float away with six degrees of freedom, at any time.

I feel like physically restraining people would be harder in zero gravity than non-zero.
I remember in the early 00's this book suggested literally prototyping on paper first. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Paper-Prototyping-Interfaces-Intera...

I've only heard this in the context of reverse engineers describing the layers of access that undocumented parts of a modern CPU system have, I think it's just a made-up analogy. There is presumably some proprietary documentation out there with more official names.
Huh? I just pointed out what Base64 encoding actually is - not some complex algorithm, but effectively just a tokenization scheme.

This isn't speculation - I've implemented Base64 decode/encode myself, and you can google for the definition if you don't believe I've accurately described it!
We spent a lot of time tuning it. We've found that temperature settings really aren't needed for most use cases as long as the heating algorithm is responsive enough.

But that may not be for everyone: With the Power Station, changing the temperature is fast and easy with the dial, so you can pick a workflow that works best for you. (You can also change the temperature with the web interface.)

Right now, graphene is an amazing component of filters and composite materials. But only of the very expensive kinds of those.

The FX888 is an older style iron where the tip and heating element are separate components, the newer generation (such as this iFixit one) have the tip, heater and temperature sensor integrated as a single component which allows them to regulate the tip temperature much faster and more accurately. Hakko does make irons of that type now but they're very expensive, up in the $500 range.

Another benefit of the newer style irons is the tip can usually be hot-swapped (literally while it's still hot) without having to unscrew anything, you just need something insulating to pull the tip out with.
Honestly for Erlang integration just use NIFs or an actual network connection.

That golang is a mess, and demonstrates just what a huge conceptual gap there really is between the two. Erlang relies on many tricks to end up greater than the sum of its parts, like how receiving messages is actually pattern matching over a mailbox, and using a tail recursive pattern to return the next handling state. You could conceivably do that in golang syntax but it will be horrible and absolutely not play nicely with the golang runtime.
You are implicitly claiming that corruption, special interests and broken rights protections are unique problems for capitalism, unknown in non-capitalist systems.

A clear eyed look at history makes it evident that if you take away private enterprise what you are left with is pretty much nothing but corruption, special interests and broken rights protections. Just look at the Soviet system, or Chinese state sector, or pretty much any thorough going socialist system ever. In non-capitalist industrial economies corruption isn't just a problem with the system, it is the system.

The trick is to guarantee not just private rights to capital, but private rights full stop. Rights of ownership and economic freedoms for private citizens, sure, but also political rights, legal rights, labour rights. The full package. Capitalism on it's own isn't enough, and in fact without individual legal and political rights it's not possible to sustain meaningful individual rights to capital anyway.

A good case in point in the Oligarchic system in Russia. In theory that's a capitalist system, but actually it's not. In practice individual citizens in Russia don't have meaningful capital and economic rights, if they actually try to fund and start a company that genuinely challenges the incumbents they get torn apart by the incumbents. Real capitalism means full individual rights over capital, but as with any other right that can only exist in a broadly free society.

Try buying a third Party holder and flash ironOS[1] to allow cool extra features.

We did not patent the tip design, anyone is welcome to make third party tips.

Tips we'll have at launch: Cone, Bevel 1.5, Wedge 1.5, Point, Bevel 2.6, Knife 2.5, Knife 1.4

We made some different electrical design decisions than they did. TS-80 tips aren't rated for the power that we're putting out, so being compatible with the TS-80 tips could be pretty sketchy.
Beyond space concerns, there are balance concerns. You could fill the trunk or hood with batteries, but that adds 1000+ pounds to the end(s) of the car, so it will be a poor driving experience (for reference, a good size ICE engine is ~500 lbs). The best EV conversions spread the batteries throughout the car so it remains balanced (but that's pretty complex in terms of packaging and wiring).
The article mentions that the iron has an accelerometer-based idle mode, like most of its competitors. So no special holder is required.

I think EVE has the potential to really push the limits of blockchain gaming. The ability for users to develop and leverage their own smart contracts in game could allow for some really innovative ideas. While it might ruin the game I think the experiment will benefit the industry overall.

Just giving the force law hardly counts as interpret-ability. You probably know that the 1/r^2 in the force law comes from the dimensionality of space. That is the interpretation.
A lot of comments on this thread seem to feel like the “why” of this matter is settled with an answer of “The men have more experience and are working higher-level jobs. Therefore, they receive higher pay.”

This is not the equilibrium we are aiming for as a society, and the matter is not settled here.

The point of these measurements is not to demand that women are paid more for less work. The point is for us to keep asking “why”, and not just stop after the first one.

“Why are women earning less at the New York Times?”. Maybe the company is just top-heavy with men in leadership roles. This has been floated in this thread as a common cause.

“Why are there more men in leadership roles?”. A few commenters have shared anecdotes of having far more men in their recruiting process. More men applying would help explain more experienced men higher up in the company.

“Why are there more men than women applying?”. We’re getting closer to root causes now. In software engineering, for example, there are just more men in the workforce.

“Why are there more men in the workforce?”. It gets more difficult, but also more important, to investigate the answer at these lower levels. Girls Who Code and similar initiatives are tackling this behemoth cultural problem. It will take years to see the effect of their work, but their success breeds hope that someday, the gap in this New York Times statistic will close a little.

At any of these levels, a company can step in and try and correct the natural bias in their hiring or development pipeline. That is, of course, the most sensitive topic for a lot of us here. Such initiatives should have buy-in from the workforce, and there’s an implication here that the (unionized) workers of NYT do support some kind of intervention.

Their choice, and above all the very measurement of a wage gap, doesn’t need to be threatening to anybody here. It will forever be important to track this number even if we “feel” like the explanations are simple. It doesn’t represent some kind of action the company should be forced to take. It measures where we are on every level of asking “why?”.
Very cool, this should help me to be able to separate my different testing environments.

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting - isn't Google Flash worse at coding than Sonnet 3.5? I subscribe to to Claude for $20/m, but even if the API were free, I'd still want to use the Claude interface for flexibility, artifacts and just understandability, which is why I don't use available coding assistants like Plandex or Aider.

What if you need to iterate on the functions it gives? Do you just start over a with a different prompt, or do you have the ability to do a refinement with Google Flash on existing functions?

Ceph is sadly not very good at what it does. The big clouds have internal versions of object store that are far better (no single point of failure, much better error recovery story, etc.). ZFS solves a different problem, though. ZFS is a full-featured filesystem. Like Ceph it is also vulnerable to single points of failure.

We know much more about what happens with regulation: prohibitively expensive nuclear power and unbearably slow progress in simple medical devices. Opportunity cost is enormous here.

This is really simplistic. We wouldn't use anything if it cost what it cost to make it 100% safe. Everything has risks and prices.

If a KAN has multiple layers, would tweaking the equations of a KAN be more similar to tweaking the weights in a MLP/NN, or more similar to tweaking a decision tree?
