I don't understand your point, to be honest.

My point was that it reasonable to be reluctant to spend $200 to $250 to replace a small component of a device that is only worth $300.

This was in response to someone who claimed the OP should just sell it if he didn't want to spend $200 to fix it - because it originally cost $3000-$5000.
.NET is pretty popular! We use a combination of Kotlin, Python, and Rust. Because of the V&V burden of extra libraries, we tend to only use standard libraries

As far as app UIs go, I just started using Duolingo and their app seems to be tremendously well polished.
I don't have specific advice to give you. But a few of the videos on the Posy YouTube channel are highly relevant. He has fixed some vintage HiFi gear displays. Not in depth technical in the videos but maybe he has a community or something? EEVBlog forum would have knowledgeable people too.
> in an age of low-size disk drives and expensive software, looking up data over a dedicated protocol seems like a nifty2 idea.
Then disk size exploded, databases became cheap, and search engines made it easy to look up words.

I love this particular part of history about How protocols and applications got build based on restrictions and got evolved after improvements. Similar examples exists everywhere in computer history. Projecting the same with LLMs, we will have AIs running locally on mobile devices or perhaps AIs replacing OS of mobile devices and router protocols and servers.

Local models are definitely not as smart as ChatGPT but you can get pretty close! I'd consider them to be about a year behind in terms of performance compared to hosted models, which is not surprising considering the resource constraints.

I've found that you can get faster performance by choosing a smaller model and/or by using a smaller quantization. You can use other models with llamafile as well. They have some prebuilt ones:

https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile?tab=readme-ov-file...

You can also search for other llamafiles for other models on HuggingFace by using the llamafile tag.

https://huggingface.co/models?library=llamafile&sort=trendin...

And you can download model weights directly and use them by providing an -m flag to llamafile but that's getting a bit less straightforward.

Managing server performance for power: a missed opportunity
You don't understand. Even if you are a competent blue collar person and you build your own house today, you hire qualified electricians. Everyone does this. It's a rule written in blood. With electrical, the catastrophic risks start right away. Especially with batteries, what a circus.

It's not learn-as-you-go like computers. A mistake doesn't give compiler errors. It might just kill you now, or get red hot later under certain conditions you haven't tested.

If you can't see that this gongshow is obviously dangerous then you are a fool.
Except that adipose cells don't undergo mitosis. When is the last time you heard someone dying of "fat cancer"?

Believe it or not, professional researchers probably tried to think of "obvious pathways" too.
It used to be a possibility. Now is a reality, and done not by a minor unorganized player (like a small group of people breaking things) but by a major power. Even if they stop doing it right now, and not escalate it to i.e. phones, it has set up a dangerous precedent.
Somebody has answered this below, but it makes sense. Every role model for children is usually a woman,to the point that young girls have troubles where a sport instructor is male rather than female (observed this happening to various children friends with my daughter). Terribly sad.

The other, and this is purely based on my unique and personal anecdote, but it applies to myself and my child, the learning style for women is different (talking about percentages and not absolutes, for EVERY statement in this post). Young girls seems to be open to listen, while young boys seem to want to "do on their own", but school does not seem to allow a structure that accomodates young boys for this approach.
This is very limited by my narrow view (young children), things do change after high school, but that's still 18 years of our life.

I don’t get this take. “Still fiddling with spaces around radio buttons.” It’s design. Design is unique to the creation. We still fiddle around with spacing around radio buttons because one spacing doesn’t work for every design.

Unless you’re talking about the clicking dead zone, which I would argue is more a problem with not using the right cursor than the dead zone the gap introduces.

Yes, sorry the private is indeed used in mTLS.

Without that there is still authentication: clients who don’t presents a certificate signed by CA are refused. A weaker form of authentication is who ever presents a signed certificate connects, regardless of whether they hold the private key or not. In practice, these two are packed into a p12 certificate anyways, at least browsers.

Interesting that defense industry uses mTLS. It’s a pitty because the UX could be good: no need to route the entire traffic by a VPN. Simply have a certificate in the browser and the user will have access with no further action or setup.
Hey there,

I couldn't include our entire dialogue into an HN comment, but yes, upon prodding as deeply as I could and running out of ideas, I explained my suspicions. The response wasn't what I expected, but not direct evidence supporting my concers quite either.

If it was my aunt, she understands well. If not, the perpetrator does too.

One of a few other instances which got my attention was a voicemail she left, which I retain a recording of. It starts by saying her name, awkwardly, followed by a 5-8 second pause, then saying "Hi. This is <her name>. I always refer to her by her abbreviated single syllable name, while the voicemail used her formal, full name.

I haven't heard from her since saying that if anything went wrong, I'd be looking for fingerprints on the passport.
Just a note that in a framework like react, this will introduce an error that propagates when people attempt to use something like “google translate” on your site. You’d need to wrap the “Foo” in an element to mitigate.
That’s normal nice in the Pacific Northwest. Possibly due to the Scandinavian heritage. Another explanation I heard is that people used to be more open there before the many waves of post 90s immigration. Once people there have established their friend groups they’re not looking to add any more to the group as they worry too many new friends will diminish their own place in their friend group.
Mario rom hacks are perfectly legal since the only thing that gets distributed is a patch file - the original ROM has to be provided by the user.

You are correct, but I'm not sure that the colloquial usage of the term "open-source" is very consistent with propietary platforms that just happen to make source code available

$17bn is the recent cost esitmate for the FCC. That's more than Europe spends on space, roughly two times the cost of the JWST. It's quite close to NASA's budget, and that's the estimated cost of the first stage of the project.

Particle accelerators are the very definition of diminishing returns currently.
That's a good read. But one of the processes competing for calories is the immune system.

> If you take somebody who is really sedentary and you get them exercising, what happens? Things like inflammation, which is your immune system being overactive, goes down. [Also cortisol level when under stress, and reproductive hormone levels, go down.]

So that puts a small hole in the "exercise helps the immune system clear up cancer" theory. Maybe it in fact stops the immune system causing cancer. Or maybe it does both things, since biology is messy and the immune system might have multiple energy budgets for all I know.
This has been my experience as well. The only major instability was due to the Ubuntu snap based runtime, which I migrated away from a few years ago.
Any suggestions of where to move to? I have several domains with Gandi from back when they were decent, but the prices have gone up so much recently, even before this newest increase.

Aka “Seattle Nice.”

People move to a place, are eager to get connected, but the people there are already connected…except for all the other lonely newbies. It’s a boom-town phenomenon, I think.

And if you are a long-time resident, it’s a little rich having large numbers of people come clog up your town while doing clueless newbie things and then gripe about how they don’t feel welcome.

I am probably just comparing it to the US, but like why shouldn't you? The UK is a hub for smart people, but I guess not courageous people.

i wasn’t claiming professional researchers didn’t know something, so not sure where you are pulling that from.

i guess the mechanism correlating weight and cancer is more complex than “more cells more cancer”, but the correlation is still well measured and i assume a reason why physical exercise would anti-correlate as well

e: also my understanding was non-adipose cell count was also correlated as weight

That's the kind which scares me the most given how quickly it can grow and spread without any symptoms. Feel really fortunate to live in a country where screening starts at thirty years. Back home I would have to be well into my fifties.

LPs (and MIPs) are used for scheduling, planning, and logistics. These are some of the earliest applications of LPs, dating to the 1930's and 1940's, and these applications are still relevant. The wikipedia page has a good overview of the history and utility of linear programming.

there are a fair number of long term studies in marijuana.

it’s clear that for normal usage patterns compared to normal tobacco usage patterns, the cancer risk is much lower.
Exercise induces stress which triggers a systemic hormetic response. That response makes cells more resistant to random errors. Additionally, that stress can trigger apoptosis in senescent or unhealthy cells.

Fair enough, so to test things out I've enabled Voice Control and tried whether it makes a difference how the elements were arranged:

At least with Chrome, it does not make a difference! It correctly determined the label and I could just tell it to click on that particular checkbox.

Since Dragon Naturally Speaking doesn't seem to have a trial, as well as having a broken shop page you can't order from, I can't give it a test, but that articles advice seems rather questionable to me.
Maybe hire some UX-focussed engineers then?

I can't help thinking that the "fungible engineer" concept has done a lot of harm to tech hiring and team structure - of course if you take a guy who most is excited about database optimisation and put him on UI work he won't be passionate about it.

Parsing the awk input? While not an irrelevant concern, that is obviously on the low priority end when considering awk performance in general. My most often used awk program is just '{print $1}', but I use it on enormous files. The performance when operating on the enormous file is the concern wrt performance, not the initial parse of '{print $1}' or of command line arguments.

I know you're just directly responding to the concerns of a parent comment though.

I never claimed that those videos are representative of all anti-israel protests, or that either accounts aren't engaging in bad faith argumentation, but at the end of the day, the linked tweet does not substantiate the object level question of "[israel] consider US students protesting Israel's actions in Gaza to be terrorists". The examples might be cherry picked, but it's a stretch to claim that a thread calling the worst protesters "terrorists" actually means they think all anti-israel protesters are "terrorists". Cherry picking is bad, but two wrongs don't make a right.
Okay, so you're referring to events later in March then (I thought you were referring to the situation just as the invasion was starting).

According to the drafts - these "security guarantees" were effectively a surrender, as Ukraine had to limit its army to some very small number making any type of resistance impossible.

Strong agreement there. But isn't it also true that it was precisely the obviously flimsy and deceptive "security guarantees" (which apparently were buried in an annex of a much larger document) were (along with the territorial demands, and the atrocities happening on the ground) precisely what convinced the Ukrainian side to back out, once they found out about them?

The point here is that I'm not sure it's fair to say they were giving serious consideration to a "surrender plan" as such. The impression I have is that they were hoping to find a way to negotiate a Russian retreat in exchange for more or less symbolic concessions (e.g. "Ukraine not join NATO"), but no territorial concessions or drastic reductions in armed forces (which seems not unreasonable if your country is being overrun, and you want to avoid the prospect the prospect of being at war indefinitely like it is now). But that once they found out about (and/or Putin's team shifted their terms to include) the "surrender bits", and the news of the atrocities in Bucha/Irpin started coming in, that's when the process broke down.
I have done extensive reverse engineering of SH2 firmwares, at first I didn't like it, but then found it elegant.

Elephants are an outlier in terms of animal species, they have something genetic that prevents cancers. For most animals, the mass of the animal does correlate with cancer rates: “having a greater number of body cells, and a higher number of cell divisions, usually increases the chance of accumulating the mutations that can lead to cancer” https://www.livescience.com/52432-elephants-cancer-resistanc...
You should at least post a link to some source when spreading these rumors.
I guess what I learned from the article is how crazy it is that developers are still putting UIs together with text labels and padding and flexbox-this and align-that. What kind of stone age shit is this? Back in the '90s we were putting UIs together with controls already polished and perfected by the OS vendor, presumably backed by man-years of UX research from those companies. The controls themselves had styling, behavior, event handling, and so on baked in. Fast forward to today's web development, where we've regressed to drawing text inside rectangles and trying to handle click events on those rectangles, and/or wrestling with half-baked "frameworks" that poorly do some subset of what OS-provided controls did 30 years ago?? UI development seems like cooking in a clay pot over a fire that you had to start with flint.

Rant time: Why does anyone use GCP? I had not used GCP for a few years and recently tried to get a simple webapp scaffolding up.

So I see the myriad of services offered by GCP, I pick:
https://console.cloud.google.com/products/solutions/details/...

Dynamic web application with Python and JavaScript. Okay, I've built these things before, let's see the Google way.

Nice, there is a diagram, there's Firebase, there's Django, there's PostgreSQL, something called cloud storage. A bit of an overkill, but let's roll with it.

Okay, let's click Deploy.

This should give us some sort of ready to use stub, placeholder, template right?

Wrong.

Resources tab shows 65 actions/resources created.
All nice green checkmarks, there is IAM, there Firebase, there is Cloud Storage, Secret Manager, and everything else under the sun.

65 green checkmarks - that is good right?

However the app itself is not ready to be shown to the world!

Apparently there is something missing in Firebase config (remember this is the default deploy for a new user):

Google helpfully informs me

Why am I seeing this?
There are a few potential reasons:

You haven't deployed an app yet.
You may have deployed an empty directory.
This is a custom domain, but we haven't finished setting it up yet.
How can I deploy my first app?
Refer to our hosting documentation to get started.

So I go hosting documentation link and that is just generic: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/

Meanwhile all this nice setup is costing about $2.40 every 24 hours.

The issue isn't the complexity of the solution, or the lack or over abundance of documentation.

The issue is that their sample "Hello World" app is not ready.

I should not need to go through stacks of extra documentation to find out what is wrong when trying a sample product of some complexity.

Why should I be forced to fight abstraction leaks immediately when starting to use GCP?
You clearly have never used any of the big censored llms.
In most companies customer support doesn't have any authority to retask engineers. Maybe if a customer reports a security issue, or a truly application-breaking bug. Otherwise all that customer feedback just gets rolled up into a slide deck once per quarter, and ignored
even safer languages like rust still do not prevent against many problems, such as: logic errors, stack overflows, out of memory errors, bitflips, memory leaks, unrecoverable errors (panic's), memory safety related issues in an unsafe context
There are some good Go and Rust UI frameworks they could contribute to, but that would mean contributing to a common goal rather than forking endlessly.
Not surprising, as all of these (except Los Alamos) are vacation towns.
Whatever it will come of this, it will be unapologetic. Just that. Unapologetically unapologetic!
> Reminds me slightly of the Cell processor

I was thinking the same.

Also the Tilera CPU with many cores and mesh network (back in mid 2000's, eventually bought by Nvidia and used in something, don't remember).

Tangent:

Back in early 2000's I had a hobby project (ALife with ANN brain) and I was looking for more computation. Multiple CPU's was not ideal, GPU wasn't ideal because the read/write/computation model only matched 1/2 of my ANN's flow and was a mismatch for the other half.

I read about a new cpu and I ended up talking to one of the key guys from Tilera, I was pretty impressed they would take the time to talk to some random guy working on a hobby project.

I asked about the performance of individual computational units (assuming custom could beat the industry) and he surprised me when he responded "nobody is going to beat Intel at integer, you won't get an increase from that perspective"

Are you saying that the universe cannot be represented by mathematics?

I imagine you could use that argument to shoot down pretty much any explanation.
It's like saying seat belts, air bags, and crumple zones do not prevent all automobile deaths. They don't, but they help a whole lot. Prevention of all bugs converges with artificial superintelligence and/or solving the halting problem (which is impossible).

There are formal languages that do more than Rust, but they're a lot less practical. Working on making a more practical one would be a useful exercise.

You can forbid unsafe at the Cargo.toml level in Rust. You can also just search a project for the keyword "unsafe" to subject all unsafe code to extra levels of scrutiny. Some orgs set commit rules where commits containing "unsafe" must be approved by more people or must pass through a security audit team.
