Not working on it yet but can a small box sitting on your counter do LLM, TTS all local with maybe outbound queries to the internet.

First iteration may be box is rpi based and local LLM runs in another room on beefier machine (or even before that just get it working with a cloud Llama).

What would make this cool is to use MemGPT for memory so you can talk to it Monday and then it remembers what you said Friday.

Being all local it could be always listening.

In general I like the project. It reminded me to Bento.me. I'd guess you are direct competitors? (I'd also suggest adding Boxento as an alternative to Bento.me on SaaSHub https://www.saashub.com/bento-me)
This is not about new ideas for humanity, but for me.

I started the development of the game engine.
This was one of the most interesting goal on my list.

I will use vulkan. And my demo goal for this is a super realistic scene with human, hill, grass, tree and sunrise/sunset. But it is needed just to know how/where to develop engine.

since I'm in no hurry + my career is going down the drain, I will try to do my best and power up my software engineer skills.
Hm, seems like that's enforced by the kernel. I'm not sure I can trust the kernel if I can't trust the firmware.
Bulma had a major update this past March to v1.0.0, with a couple minor releases since. Still receiving commits somewhat regularly, so I wouldn't call it dead.

I automate the creation of certain posts.

Ultimately your not wrong, but I think Ghost is a great platform.

If anything I like creating tools that I can share with others. If I want to invite friends to post on my blogs it'll take 30 seconds to provide a login and creating posts is very easy with Ghost.

Getting non technical people to understand Git is a massive challenge I don't want to try again.
> Dark Matter is a name for set of observations

Angela collier's video is philosophically disingenuous (I do believe she believes what she says). You can't just lump a set of observations together and say it's not a hypothesis. The act of lumping those observations together implies the hypothesis that they share a casual unification.

"Observation" in the scientific vernacular carries added cachet because (barring fraud or miscalculation) it's irrefutable and more value neutral, versus a "hypothesis" which is designed to be refuted.

Calling the Dark Matter hypothesis an observation is a blatant attempt to inappropriately steal a sense of irrefutability. It's kind of terrifying that smart people are repeatedly using her video as a dunk
No.

That is because regular, and failing(even fatal failure) often is just how nearly everyones life works.

You win by first learning where you are going to die, and not going there.

Most college dropouts fail. You are better off finishing school.
Exactly, it's such a short-sighted way of thinking to consider the current share of revenue. Most of poor Asian countries will eventually get rich, and giving up those markets means giving up future profits. If you don't build brand recognition while the country is still poor, others will do it, and then you'll be fighting an uphill battle, especially considering how half of the value of having Apple hardware is the brand.
Your post raises an interesting point where 95+% of speakers of one language live in one country without anything resembling free speech. It is probably unavoidable. A better solution would be a parallel VN lang Wiki that is moderated by people offshore.

> A particular problem with Wikipedia is the by definition one-sided view of charged issues.

This is a wide brush stroke. Certainly on the English language version, there is a wide set of views offered for controversial topics. Do you make this claim only for VN land Wiki, or all Wikis?
The AGPL is pretty easy to comply with in a commercial context even if you are using it as part of a SaaSS product.

Just either use the code unmodified, or release your modifications to customers, or to the public in general.

Do the businesses buying commercial licenses just not understand the AGPL license? or are their development processes not rigorous enough to ensure compliance? The AGPL includes some easy ways to be forgiven for accidental violations, so that should not be a problem in almost all cases. So only deliberate non-compliance should be an issue.

I gave it a shot and actually find it pretty interesting. But in it's current form it's a bit too overwhelming. Is it possible to set it up Elo style? So I'm only comparing 2 core values at a time?

Here's my user test: https://news.pub/?try=https://www.youtube.com/embed/5MsTLTod...
This all being said - I would expect an 8th grader of 2024 to pass the 1912 test. Look at the questions, they are nothing untoward, not rocket science.

Yeah, but the vast majority wouldn't, so isn't this contradictory? Is he trying to say 8th graders could pass if they studied or had the identical question in advance? That, too, I am skeptical of. Maybe some could, but most would not.

The reason is because the corpus of knowledge is so large. It's not like those are the only questions, but rather drawn from much larger reading. This is why even well-educated adults do poorly on general knowledge tests--what is considered 'general knowledge' is quite vast.

The difference now vs. 1912:

Emphasis on specialization for gifted kids, but also considerable intra-classroom variability of skill, so you have some kids learning multi-variable calc at 9th grade (not at school, but rather at local college, private tutoring , or self-study such as online with apps), and on the other extreme, others still struggling with fractions.

In 1912, the strugglers would have been weeded out by either dropping out of school or learning a trade. Mandatory k-12 school was not yet a thing. So there are selection biases here. Same for demographic change.

I'm Autistic and ADHD and struggle a lot with different aspects of communication.

Have you considered accessing supports like seeing a psychologist, a speech therapist, or occupational therapist that works with adults? You've got a pretty clear goal, wanting to communicate more effectively in writing/in online spaces, and spending a few months (or however long) working on that goal with a professional can help you build the skills in that area. I suggest finding a professional because it's not really possible to learn and build communication skills alone, and trying to learn from how people react to you in online spaces hasn't helped, and having someone who actually has your best interest in mind is hopefully going be more helpful than anything else.

Others have highlighted some ideas around reevaluating which communities you spend time in, and while, yeah, sure there are parts of the internet that might be worth reconsidering taking part in, that doesn't really help you engage and connect in the ways you want to. Even otherwise okay online spaces can be really tough for neurodivergent people. I hope you can figure it out
Hmm, then your point wasn't clear.
(2017).

Since that time, the landscape of sub-$1 microcontrollers has significantly changed. Namely, 32-bit won, RISC-V is on the rise, more RAM, more Flash, more MHz for the same price: RP2040/RP2350, CH32V003/CH32V203, STM32G0, ESP32-C3.
Yes, the implementation looks philosophically similar and seems to cleave at the same layer (the interface between app code and platform libraries). Basically, an implementation of everything Dalvik calls out to via JNI and a bionic <-> glibc libc shim for native Android libraries.
It seems like this misses what I think is the point of a driving trip, which is to actually see the country? I'd give Denver to SF two weeks, to see some of the national parks and actually get out of the car and go on hikes.

If you're spending all day driving, might as well fly?

Though, there are other reasons to do it, like if you're moving stuff along with your car.
Here's Cornelius Lanczos in 1972 on how the "pure math" and "applied math" split was not a thing until the beginning of the 20th century: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avSHHi9QCjA
No or not exactly. What's missing is the nuance and in this case it's everything. Netanyahu voted 4 times for the law that bans Jewish settlements in Gaza. This law is still in effect.

Yes, he has coalition members that want to repeal that law and are actively trying to resettle Gaza, but the IDF stops them because it's against the law. Yes, they want to repeal that law but even within their extreme coalition that would be tough.

Saying Israelis should elect someone different is even worse than saying Americans shouldn't elect Trump. This lacks nuance and understanding in how elections and parliamentary systems work. This is also the exact argument Israelis make about Hamas: the people of Gaza voted for them. Both are bad arguments.

Netanyahu got roughly 30% of the vote in Israel. He built a coalition based on many conflicting parties. On the one hand he has the fascist extremists. They got a large number of the votes thanks to unification within their ranks. Then he has the Hasidic Jews, they don't care about anything as long as they get paid. This coalition brings him to roughly 50% of the voting populace, he won in a landslide by a 3000 vote difference in the last election. The reason is mostly due to the collapse of the left due to electoral complexities in the way votes are tallied.

Netanyahu himself lacks ideals and is practically made of Teflon. He switched ideological sides multiple times, charged with crimes etc. Prosecution of his crimes just solidifies his base which chucks all of that to "leftist persecution". It's remarkably hard to break that cognitive bias. Guess what helps that cognitive bias?

A sense of persecution. "Everyone is against us" is his greatest slogan. The "pro-Palestinian" rallies were the biggest gift Netanyahu could receive and have bolstered his grasp over Israel. He's pointing at them as "we can't trust western countries", he isn't wrong. Every time Biden tried to pressure Israel politically or by leveraging weapon shipments this actually boosted support for Netanyahu. It's stupid, but it's a fact.

Biden understands that which is why he showed strong support to the Israeli people. Unfortunately, the leader at that time was Bibi and it's really hard to show support for Israel while attacking its elected leader directly. It is a very tight rope and I don't think Biden could have done much better. Especially given the recent claims that Trump has been calling Bibi and encouraging him to avoid a deal.

I wish people abroad would understand this nuance, but it doesn't play well on TikTok. It also doesn't have a nice slogan or rally. We need people to support both Israel and the Palestinian people while demanding their respective far-right factions get out of power.

I said exactly the opposite of that. There's no point continuing this discussion.
In my (dated) experience with united, they have a fanstasy-land flight schedule they sell tickets for, then cancel flights that aren’t full “due to weather”, and rebook you on an inferior flight.

This way, they never have to pay people when they get bumped for overbooking.

Anyway, I haven’t done business with them for a decade for this exact reason. Maybe it’s different now.
Let’s not forget P5js which has a long and esteemed history of helping to teach kids and more to program. It’s browser based so it’s compatible with every OS and requires no install. FOSS with an active community of users and contributors. I personally taught some middle schoolers with zero programming experience how to make interactive monsters in 1 hour. It was awesome!

Usually it’s because the company uses the software in question and wants to ensure it sticks around.

In this instance it feels a little weird. No good reason why a CSS framework would be particularly suited for gambling site operations, you may be right that it’s an SEO play.
How about this one?

Huh? People sometimes state things that are the genuine facts, as far as anyone has been able to prove, but that are not entirely possible to be 100% verified.

This isn’t some obscure niche case either, it happens every day on HN.
It’s rather common for mid-sized OSS projects to have a lot of gambling sponsors for the links. Cheaper than ads.
Yeah what's a banana cost, like $10?
I've seen other open source projects with tons of gambling sponsors, it's not just Bulma. My guess is that it's a relatively cheap way to get links for SEO.

This is badass. love it. Wish you could make an account with a regular email address, though, and not just with Google.
Story time. It's Christmas, I'm 10yo, I've asked for and received a projection alarm clock from my parents.

I rushed to bed that night, set the clock, turned the lights off, got into bed, took off my glasses and... realised I couldn't see the projected time on the ceiling.
Very timely as I have been looking for something just like this! Going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing
Risks of sharing your DNA with online companies aren't just a future concern
I can't say I understood and evaluated all the physics here (I skimmed parts) but I was pretty surprised by how small the estimate was. I would've assumed that, were we to have one or two thousand years more cryptographic history, we'd end up using ginormous keys (maybe on the order of 1 MiB?). But this suggests that 512 or 1024 bits might be all we need.
Of course not. General political opinions are welcome.
Even specific exhortations against most individual candidates from the past are too. But you better not come in guns blazing announcing your state-sponsored lecture with a title that calls out a candidate in this election cycle.
Autopilot for my sit-on-top fishing kayak. Designed, modeled, and printed an assembly which attaches to the rudder rod. Moves the rod via a stepper motor connected to a Teensy 4.0 which gets NMEA 2000 messages from a Garmin heading sensor and a Garmin fish finder/chartplotter. Uses PID control to maintain any course I set on the chartplotter, using the cross-track error and heading. I’ve had it out on the water a few times now and it works great. Also put together an iOS app that communicates with the assembly via BLE so I can modify the PID gains as needed depending on conditions.

There was a bit of noise to the sonar transducer since the stepper motor was so noisy, but I mostly eliminated it by routing the motor wires through liquid-tight flexible electrical conduit, connecting the conduit to ground.

My brain is pudding. Also, 8th-grade me learned stuff that wasn't even known in 1912. What needs to be learned changes over time.
I believe this effort is well-intentioned.

But, if it is successful, I suspect it will drag us farther towards a "post-truth" society, where every niche political view literally has its own encyclopedia by which it understands the world.

My take: Wikipedia's problem is that it was not set up to moderate factual disputes or identify truth. See https://www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/reliable-sources-how-wik...

What we need is something more like: a hybrid of Wikipedia as it exists now, and Community Notes. Try to build in some mechanisms to keep the forces of partisanship at bay.

aliens will likely find us the same way we find dinosaurs but probably no one will find us. 1000 years from now things will be very different but i suspect humans will still exist. imo we as a species have very little chance of living 1M years, tho.

Do you have any recommendations?
If something has to be approved by the UN it will never happen. Especially any action against Russia.

The UN secretary-general was recently bowing to Putin at the BRICS get together. Putin has an ICC arrest warrant issued for the invasion of Ukraine. I believe the UN endorses the ICC, at least it used to.
I often choose 144p for low bandwidth scenarios. It is very similar to a good quality audio-only stream in terms of size, but you get the added benefit of looking at the speaker even if that's a glance every 45 mins. Same for battery life, you save that too.

Also 144p is somehow so peaceful and relaxing to watch, you don't get distracted with all the shiny colors and intricate details in the video and can just listen and not have your mind focus on some random stuff.

The real answer to your question: the most commonly used Chinese input method allows you to type the first pinyin letters only, and the algorithm will figure out the most likely Chinese characters you want.

It's not "the parents" can't read it. It's that people who don't use electronics have a harder time reading it.
This is a strange take

Being able to control indents for a particular case { right-aligning variable names - while keeping "=" in line can be useful for instance }... Is the perfect example of why indenting should be left for the eye of the reader not the computer.

It's exactly why I find python code difficult - nay impossible - to read at times.

So you are really doing absolutely the opposite of what you are claiming...

Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but the one thing that C got right was using "{" & "}" to specify code flow.

What was a passing grade back then? Even today this varies a lot in different systems. In the US public school system, 70% is considered passing, but in other contexts tests are constructed so that e.g. 35% correct is a passing grade.

I've read real books from the late 19th and early 20th century, and while occasional typos do appear, their density here is suspicious.

Thus my conclusion is that I don't think this is a real 8th grade test.

Why hasn't he (or any of the other Big tech CEOs who Trump has claimed conversations with) denied it? They just have to put out a statement saying "the conversation never happened". Their silence is deafening.
I tried to describe that world.

I think you've done a very good job of explaining that world. Perhaps I was originally misdirecting my frustration at C, and it should have been at the fact that I am trying to solve such a computationally intensive problem that I cannot afford to incur the performance penalty caused by the abstractions in languages like Python.

This really helped me understand the use of C, thank you very much.

I wonder if one day soon computers will be powerful enough, and compilers optimized enough, so that even our biggest scientific simulations can be written in highly abstract programing languages. I have a feeling that we will still be wanting to harness every little bit of computational power we can for a long time to come, and low level languages like C and Rust will maintain their necessity.

Thanks again.
