Short answer is that I'm a competent autodidact living in a time where it's easy to research anything with YouTube, ChatGPT and paid mentorship in a remarkably compressed amount of time.

In fairness, my father was an engineer and my grandfather was an inventor; 35+ years developing software and being in proximity to electronics and people building stuff is certainly part of my story. However, aside from the whole mental health / needing to chart a new path thing, the main thing that motivated me was watching inspiring creators on YouTube (Wintergatan, Stuff Made Here, Hacksmith etc) and realizing that a lot of the gap between me being the audience vs being a maker myself was fear of starting. I kind of had to give myself permission to change how I saw myself.

I am reasonably smart and I have a pretty decent work ethic, but the main thing I have going for me is stubborn determination and patience.

If you remember one thing from this, it's that learning without a specific end goal is pointless or even harmful. It's like going to a hardware store and buying every tool just in case. Instead, you need to identify a project that you feel passionate enough to finish. Then you do what engineers do: recursively break down big tasks into smaller tasks, and then go down whatever rabbit holes are required until you are finished. I recommend not setting (or telling anyone about) delivery dates.

Two resources that I highly recommend:

1. I had no idea that CAD - I highly recommend you skip right to Fusion, which is free for casual use - would be such a huge part of my life a year ago... but now I think that it's hilarious that this wasn't obvious from the start. I learned by following along with this video, step by step. It's 90 minutes long and it will take you about a week to complete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mK60ROb2RKI

2. Too few people talk about how incredible ChatGPT is for circuit design and engineering. It is just as impactful as its ability to write code. However, when you hit a wall on what you can Google or watch, I highly recommend John Teel's Hardware Academy. It's an engineering mentorship platform, and the people there are excellent. You can get feedback on PCB design, manufacturing questions, suppliers. There's video courses, too. https://thehardwareacademy.com/
Yes, but it's built around musl libc instead of glibc, which causes compatibility problems with some programs
What's to stop someone from downloading an open source model, running it themselves, and either just not sharing the hashes, subtly corrupting the hash algo so that it gives a false negative, etc?

Also you need perceptual hashing (since one bitflip of the generated media alters the whole hash) which is squishy and not perfectly reliable to begin with.
I wish I knew the name or had saved the can or at least a picture. I actually tried to explain to someone at a store hoping they knew what I was talking about; like in below; the result was me appreciating their culture of respect (or at least not openly saying all their thoughts) even more, because I'm sure they thought I was crazy.

It was all Japanese, I only knew it was white grape because of the picture of a green grape cluster. The rest of the can was all manner of Japanese characters of random sizes and boldness with I think a green star-burst or circle and a horrible picture indicating the fruity chunky things (or thats what I tell myself it was).
I'd suggest starting with the standard library instead. All other libraries come and go, standard will be there as long as Go is alive.
I think the easiest solution here would be one of many readily available UPS's. If the fridge/freezer is kept shut, it should just sip at the power.
Someone brought this up in a child comment: what are the taste/health effects of near-permanent car traffic on fruit trees? The fruit of the public citrus trees in my city is pretty sour, but I don't know how much this is because of not being bred for sweetness, vs absorbing carbon monoxide, lead etc from passing cars.
What's interesting about 140 years is that there's probably quite a few people who are ~70 and their grandparents have seen the first coal power plant start up. It isn't really that long ago.
Well, first of all, these answers are just for in-class participation and the prof will only ask the basic question within the article so it won't be hard. And we need to write a lot of essays, thus I need to read a lot of reading to see if they can be used for my references. But I can't get all the arguments or cases wi the abstract, then I will use Briefy to get the full summary. That's why I said it is productive. And also for videos as well, Briefy is designed specially for YouTube videos, and you can watch the summary, jump to the clip you want right on YouTube with its Chrome/Safari extension. I think you can have a try first, it offers a free plan with 30 credits.
That would result in actual property and financial damages. What they've done here is 20 minutes with a rag and detergent to clean up. As others have pointed out, the actual paintings are not affected.
Unity is quite healthy, because they still yeld a strong position across all console owners, mobile OSes, and the tooling that they offer, additionally the issue was among the indie community, less so with the comercial ones.

In any case, they learned the lesson, no one from management responsible for the runtime fee is still at the company, and the runtime fee has been dropped.

Alternatively you have Unreal, LibGDX, MonoGame, FNA, Stride, Murder,..... up to do your own engine.
Gray Hat
I didn’t rtfa but if he’s really “hopping in and out” of their children’s lives it would be better for them if he would just stay away. The kids could grieve, heal, and move on vs perpetual emotional whiplash.
As far as I understand, they respected decades-old conventions. Just not the ones we needed (Plan9 instead of POSIX/GNU getopt).
I live in rural Scotland. Every power outage in the last 10 years has been caused by land developers not reading the local utilities plans and accidentally cutting through cables.
You have been able to do that for a few years now, e.g.: `npm i https://github.com/user_name/node_project_name`

...or with `npm i git+ssh:...`, and npm will git clone it locally, as long as it has a `package.json`

You can install a certain commit, or even from a Gist!
BSDs are off the table because Proton, the set of extensions to Wine for playing video games, uses Linux-specific system calls. Also, the major graphics hardware vendors don't release their first-party drivers for anything other than Windows and Linux. While open source drivers exist, they are not good enough for the latest games or the latest hardware.
$400 a month or $400 a week?

Does anyone proof read blogs any more?

One off comments, fine, but if you’re going to the effort to publish something on a blog?

This isn’t a typo, this is a difference between 400 and 1700.
Oh wow, I can't believe this isn't getting any more attention, I had to search this up here to find it.

Is there any penalty for doing something like this or is it permitted by the license?

Also, you should link to xcancel.com instead of x.com, it's way better for users without an account.
>when i lived in a van i spent twice as much per month repairing it as i had on renting my san francisco apartment

I just straight-up do not believe that dollar amount, lol

You had to have bought a terrible van and went to a terrible mechanic that was maliciously breaking things so you'd come back for that to happen. Vans are work horses and usually simple compared to regular consumer vehicles.
The first time I've seen anybody be jealous of a guy for having an ex wife.

Wait until you hear about people who have kidney stones, then you'll really know you're missing out.
> they just assumed you would be using cable tv

I think you mean - they just assumed you would be connecting to the antenna on the roof to get the 4 glorious full colour channels.
> The meds helped him but he didn't like the side effects so he stopped taking them.

This is frustrating to me as a long time psych med user. If the meds have intolerable side effects then the meds do not help. Period. I do better off my meds than anything they ever tried to give me.

The system failed your friend. Not his ability to tolerate these horrible side effects.

IF we actually cared about human life we would have done much more to help your friend, but we did not. We care about human life up to the point it starts diminishing our comfort, and I am afraid we are valuing our comfort more and more than we care about others who are suffering in the last thirty years.
AI can be used to brainstorm ideas, do literature review / background search, criticize the article, reflow language or write it directly. We can never know what degree of AI usage is in a piece of text.

My preferred way is to chat about a topic, make my case, and demand an article at the end.
Most digital nomads are in major cities with modern internet and own nice laptops, Mac Minis, etc.

I’m not sure what you’re imagining the difference is between my AirBnB condo and the one I previously rented — but I am curious.
> e.g. if you find your data centers are using too much power, put them in space.

…put them in space how far away from Earth exactly? If they're too close, the heat they radiate away will end up on Earth again. If they're too far away, latency & maintenance will become an issue.
Something like this? There is one that was very recently released, but could not find it, but this is the idea: https://petapixel.com/2021/07/10/yongnuo-yn455-a-new-android...
That's quite a handsome return. Which BMS feels empowered to do to since they can charge exorbitant amounts for it

I often am against the narrative that every pill should be priced at the cost of manufacturing + healthy margin, since by that logic the first pill should cost billions to cover for the R&D. In this case, it doesn't quite translate.
I actually find this alternative Google pdf-to-podcast service much better — it is less sensationalist and goes into more technical depth:

https://illuminate.google.com/home?pli=1

Currently only handles arxiv PDFs.
> how would this work in jurastictions that are likely to jail you for transporting information across borders

Great question! This is, by far, my biggest worry. Especially in North Korea if we ever launch there. This is actually going to be the topic of the next episode in the Inside Awala podcast: https://awala.alitu.com/

Long story short, there are measures that we've taken, and measures we will take.

Measures that we've taken include using another layer of E2E encryption for the data transported by couriers and minimising the metadata to such an extent that you couldn't see who's the sender/recipient, even if the authorities took the courier's device to a lab. This way, couriers couldn't be coerced into giving something they don't have.

Measures we will take include concealing the app. For example, it could look and behave as a calculator when you open it (even its icon and name could convey that), and you'd only see the actual app once you enter a particular math expression.

Also, the technology is getting independent security audits periodically. They're currently wrapping up the latest one, and the report should be available in the coming weeks.

As for China, that's a totally different problem: They do have access to the Internet, but it's heavily censored. However, we're tackling that problem too now, as we're adding a resilient VPN function to Awala, whose prototype was already tested in China: https://github.com/relaycorp/fanqiang-poc

The reason for this VPN functionality inside Awala is that, at the end of the day, every single region that's susceptible to Internet blackouts is also subject to Internet censorship when the Internet is available. So people shouldn't have to install multiple apps for the various types of censorship they will be subjected to at different points in time.
> Given that this will initially be a niche product, the price will be quite high

It really becomes self defeating when this is your target market. If I can't tell what it is, why would I earmark money for it in the future?
First, you need a politician to say: "your home is not an investment, it's an asset."

They would be flayed. Might as well just belt out a "Dean scream" at a live event.

Massively underrated. It's actually used to build the pkg.go.dev website itself.

Exactly, the reliability of home brew battery systems is likely to be quite a bit less.
Unique and authentic approach, especially in a digital age. Hope this approach helps you
Author is living in a van in australia - he could as well instead of living rent free just living rent cheap but moving to Indonesia/Philippines/Vietnam, be in similar timezone, pay 400usd for rent, save on expensive gas in Australia and have still much more comfortable life.

He is not childless though! I think his attitude reflects the persistence of the idea that women are the primary parents and men are "providers" and backup.

As a man who became the primary parent as my kids got older I think this is a tragedy. Its not good for women (more work) or men (deprived of fulfilment) or children (less attention from parents overall).

We seem to be able to accept that women are capable of taking on traditionally male roles (especially in the workplace) but not that men can take on traditionally female roles (at home or at work).
That MaixCube looks cool. Do you know of any similar products with a much higher resolution?
Just need a BEV with inverter, which many modern cars have, and a long extension cord.
That does not mean that day long power outages are impossible. Especially not locally.

For example, storm Arwen in 2022 left lots of communities without power for many days https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications/storm-arwen-report . Admittedly not because of power generation, but because of transmission lines being cut by falling trees.
Pretty nice guy, too. Back in the early-mid 90s I was a teenager and got on some kind of David Brin fan site (this may have been on Prodigy it was so long ago), where the man himself would sometimes reply. He once responded to a message I posted, and it just about made my year.
We don't need to keep coal for that. There is relatively clean by comparison gas stations for that. Or pumped hydro.

Or just build more wind and over provision
The prompt affects that a lot. If I input my writing and ask an LLM to “evaluate,” it will tell me how astute and intriguing my ideas are (often to the point of hyperbole). If I ask instead for it to “critique” me, I’ll get a much less complimentary response about the same content.
"soups" is the verb here, "van Goghs" is the object. Weirdly enough too, "souping" is a noun here. This whole sentence is a flustercuck for non-native speakers.
Debian splits their distribution into three components:

* main (free software)
* non-fee
* contrib (free software that depends on software outside of main, so usually non-free software)

While I am not fond of the "contrib" terminology, I think this categorization makes a lot of sense.
Really terribly. To put it into context, from memory, yolov3 tiny model was around 6 million parameters. How many parameters will this model be using? Indeed, no one is saying what it is quantized to, but you can be pretty sure that it's 8 bits.

I deployed yolov3 tiny model back in 2019 with 32 bit weights. It thought that the drain pipe in the driveway was a person.

Whenever people show hype about this this show pre-selected images where there are no candidates for false positives. In reality you would not want to be woken in the middle of the night on the output of these things.
Honestly this sounds like a dumb way to save money - as a lifestyle choice, sure, who am I to stop you.

The problem with this is that average amenities - ability to cook your own food, wash your clothes, access to electricity, water, internet is not a given when you have a van, and you might need to accept more time consuming, less effective, more costly and less reliable alternatives. And if you consider time being money, you can quickly end up in the red.

And not to mention vans, which are expensive to buy, run and repair.

I'm pretty sure if he decided to move 100km away from his chosen tech hub, he could rent a property dirt cheap.
I guess you have to weigh up a couple of decades of annoyance against possibly millennia of caveats.
If it's anywhere in southern Spain the oranges are decorative/bitter jam oranges, not for eating directly.
It would be nice if every one could afford it. And people were still filthy rich, but not necessarily exorbitantly rich? It cost the company discovering the drug around $11M
Joyful Outlines – Creative drawing app for kids
Hey everyone I’m Sezgin. I created Joyful Outlines for my nephew after struggling to find a simple, distraction-free drawing app. Most of what I found was filled with ads or constant payment prompts. So, I built something cleaner and more focused on creativity—an app that kids can truly enjoy without interruptions!

This is my first time building an iOS app, and it’s been a great learning experience. I'd love your feedback and support as I continue to improve the app. Thanks so much for checking it out!

Here is also product hunt link: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/joyful-outlines
Could it be quantified how much UK is using coal power of other countries?

Since industry is moved outside, the products we consume use power of producer country, mostly China. Is there a correlation in reduction of local coal power and amount of energy intensive products imported?
I like it, but with the new http.ServeMux rolled out in Go 1.22, is there any use for Chi anymore?
While ffmpeg is a powerhouse, I don't use it frequently enough to remember all the options I'd need for my typical usage. Having said that, I have saved some magical incantations over time and built a handy context menu over time https://lmno.lol/alvaro/how-i-batch-apply-and-save-one-liner...

Now I can just highlight a file and:

- covert audio to mp3

- convert gif to video

- convert to mp4

- convert video to gif

- convert video to webp

- convert video to hevc mkv

- convert video to mp3

- convert video to mp3 with artwork

- convert video to thumbnail

- trim video beginning

- trim video end

- drop video audio

- speed up video

- speed up video fragment

- resize video
I think the pick for Arch makes a lot of sense if you consider the big players in the ecosystem:

* Debian habitually ships ancient versions of software unless you setup backports. It's also by far the distro that makes the most downstream modifications to software, which causes issues with upstream.

* Ubuntu is a semi-rolling (basically, a stable copy every 9 months) release of Debian + Backports with a Canonical skin and nice branding. Cute, but it inherits the same problems that Debian has.

* Fedora is fine, but it's also very beholden to Red Hat. Whilst Red Hat going IBM squeeze mode occurred after Valve picked a distro, the ties it has to Red Hat are a problem for Valve, considering their Linux push was always defined by not wanting to be tied as heavily to a third-party vendor (it almost entirely originates from Microsoft blowing their left foot off with Windows 8 and the Microsoft Store being both awful and a direct competitor to Valve; Gabe Newell is an ex-Microsoft employee, he probably recognized the direction MS is going in). Also, major system upgrades with Fedora aren't exactly the greatest process; they work, but since they're inheriting the CentOS structure, Fedora isn't really build around that sort of thing. I've always had to do manual checkups on key software when using Fedora.

By contrast Arch has a policy to "ship as close to upstream as possible" (even in cases where it's weird; last I checked, their nano still has the bad word wrap that nano is known for), pushes out updates extremely quickly and is a non-profit. With Valve having their own button on the upgrade process, they can also ensure that you don't get some of the more typical "hilarity" of running Syu and realizing your drivers made it so you ended up in an emergency shell mode.

Other distros just don't have the installbase to guarantee consistent support (everything on distrowatch) or are too inaccessible for regular users (aka "why not NixOS" -> because NixOS actively requires you to ignore almost every online resource and to only use the NixOS provided documentation since nothing else on the planet works the way NixOS does. Gentoo also is in this category, since most people that own a Steam Deck probably aren't looking to custom compile everything.)
Why is the office in the living room/dining room/kitchen?

This article raises many more questions than it answers lol
Arguably it's just the frontend. You can use old node in backend as much as you please. Frontend UI expectations evolve so quickly while APIs & backend can just stay the same, if it works it works.
The memory ownership kinda expects all structures to be in a DAG (ie no cycles since ownership tracking doesn't understand that).

Who's doing this? VS Code is free; Pylance is free, cppdbg is free, the C# suite is free. However the licences are clear; these extensions are closed source.

VS Code's core editor functionality (Monaco, LSP, DAP, etc) is fully open, and has been regularly repurposed and re-branded by several other companies. I sincerely don't see the problem. If someone else wants to write their own extensions, they are free to; these extensions are Microsoft's IP and hence Microsoft is free to do what it wants with its IP.
What I mean is that this guy is bragging about not paying rent whilst not doing his fair share of childcare
Jup it's crazy that people still think Microsoft (the "We Love Linux initiative") did anything big apart from let Linux run good on their Hypervisor, Oracle for example did 100x more then MS (yes oracle...).
FWIW I am in London too and have had several more than that, some for more than a few hours. There was one just the other day where the RAF museum in London was partially shut because the power was still out from the night before, much to my kids' annoyance.

These have usually been down to a local substation going bang/being hit by a bus/curious-but-now-crispy-cat etc though, rather than the whole city going down. These sort of blackouts affect smaller areas, like 1000 houses at once or whatever, and not the entire city or region
They don't ignore it, it powers many servers, and the games on Android and ChromeOS.

Additionally PlayStation OS is based on a FreeBSD fork, and the Switch mikrokernel OS still has a POSIX flavour to it, to the extent that it matters for C and C++ standard libraries.

What they ignore is the desktop mess, and lack of paying customers outside platforms where people are willing to pay even for fart apps.
