Camera sensors are very rarely the limiting factor for a microscope unless you are in pretty exotic modes where speed, timing, or low light conditions are important. The key reason it is better often to use something like a Raspberry Pi camera than a phone is you know exactly what sensor you have and can design for it. Also there are benefits of not having the lens in front of it where you then need extra lenses to act as eyepieces to view a virtual image. But using the picamera and either using a microscope objective and a tube lens (or in the low cost version just the picamera lens and a spacer) we can get diffraction limited performance in a really small, light footprint. (More detail on the optics for nerds: https://build.openflexure.org/openflexure-microscope/v7.0.0-... )

However, the camera/sensor isn't the clever bit. The main benefit of OpenFlexure is the automated stage. The range of motion is small and the motion is slow so it really isn't the right microscope for looking at something like a bug leg. But if you want to take loads of high resolution images with a high powered objective and stitch them into a composite image (or take time-lapses automatically autofocusing regularly) we are considerably smaller, more affordable and more customisable than commercial alternatives. With lots of options for scripting.

As an example of what is possible, check out this multi-gigapixel composite image of a cervical smear, and the resolution when you zoom in: https://images.openflexure.org/cap_demo/viewer.html
Note, this is collected with an experimental branch of the software (of course open source). We need to do some tidying and bugfixes before it is ready for release.
I once knew a founder of a pre-GPT-3 AI product that analyzed certain cost-adjacent documents to find "hidden" optimizations. The "AI" was the founder, an expert in that industry, churning through the uploaded documents himself and writing reports by hand detailing potential cost savings. How far we've come!
I found the solution:

sudo apt-get purge php.*
My first programming experience was with BASIC on my dad's TRS-80 machine. (In 2011.) It's crazy to think of the impact this man had - a whole generation of computers put scripting tools straight in the user's hands when they could easily have turned out purchased-software-only. A lot of devs were minted from Kurtz's tools.
I presume this relates, directly or indirectly, to the Anaconda licensing changes.

Even though you can avoid the license issues (eg with conda-forge) it brought up a discussion where we looked into moving away and found we didn't face anything like the challenges we used to (which had originally brought us to conda) - feels like this may have backfired on Anaconda and perhaps that's borne out by the usage points the pytorch post mentions.
Americans have learned a lot more from having a flourishing tech industry than the EU has, which has stagnated for 20+ years and has missed out on the mobile revolution and will miss the AI revolution.

Our model works to create actual progress. Your model results in nothing but a rent-seeking regulatory industrial complex. The EU can only miss so many industrial revolutions before it fades into total irrelevancy over time. There is a reason your share of global GDP is declining rapidly vs the US.
This reminds me of a very old video game "Science Sleuths"[1] I ran into as a kid, where you had to identify a blob on the beach.

Just checked out the tool it looks really interesting can definitely see the tremendous value to the standard consumer.
The experiment started from the first move of a game, and played each game fully. The position you linked was just an example of the format used to feed the game state to the model for each move.

What would "winning" or "losing" even mean if all of this was against a single move?
Thanks. Do you ever experience any 'false positives' i.e. flashlight turns on when you didn't intend? (A few other people in the comments mentioned that)
Great idea! I hope you can solve the problem that you are helping people solve.

> Some people get it in their heads that their commit history needs to be "clean". It doesn't...

If by "clean" you mean "readable" (in the literate-programming sense), then I'd be a strong advocate of that.

I would like to one day see a repo that is maintained in such a way that, if you just dump out the commits in chronological order (e.g. `git log --patch --reverse --pretty=format:"%s"`), the result is essentially a jupyter notebook that explains the system being built as it builds it.

Such a thing would require a lot of rebasing, of course.

---

But of course, actually looking at giimly's commit history (https://github.com/gliimly/gliimly/commits/main/), you don't mean "readable." You mean "says nothing."

I think this repo is clearly the result of "development in private", but I don't think the commit messages here were "cleaned up." I think this is just this person's way of using git in a single-user context — they just want to incrementally save WIPs, so they number them. (Maybe they even use an editor plugin that does this for them on save, or through a keyboard-shortcut.)

That being said, I do sometimes also see this in the cases of private repos that were so messy and fraught, with long-lived now unmergeable feature branches, that the best way to integrate everything was to just convert each long-lived branch into a set of .patch files; manually prune and edit those .patch files in a text editor; and then `git am` each patchset into a synthetic commit. Those commits don't really have coherent purposes — they're just incremental steps of a single long integration — so you may as well just number them. (Usually, though, people rebase-squash these all once they're done.)
> We went through Orchid Health to get a whole genome sequence of our prospective embryos and then selected one that was not affected by the condition.

It's pretty nuts to me that we're at this point now. Eugenics is about to become mainstream.
I don’t think so. It was a x86 that I upgraded to 16gb ram and 1 tb hd.
It's targeting the self-styding people the same? Like tools to learn by themselves?
The comment you replied to didn't say either of those things. Shouldn't the fact that you inserted "hate" and "verbal violence" into their comment give you something to think about ;)?
> we shy away from encouraging conversion therapy or height extension surgery by default

Because these things are dangerous and ineffective. You can point to clear negative consequences that come from doing them at a mass scale. Again, I go back to the idea of "different, not worse". Being gay is not the absence of straightness, and being short is not the absence of tallness. But being deaf is the absence of hearing. You just get less.

> This article I think does a good job of explaining the quandary of a parent faced with a "fix" for a condition that is challenging but through which people have developed identity and culture

You could say the same of cancer, but a fix would be very appreciated. Anything that makes people's lives worse will create a community, but I don't think this is an argument against resolving that problem. What's contradictory about this is that these people saying the solution is bad also demand their problem be fixed. They just say that the fix should be implemented at a global scale. Instead of a simple implant that restores hearing, they want the entire world to be made accessible to people without hearing. If this was fully achieved, it would have the same effect as restoring their hearing. There would be no struggle, there would be no community. Being deaf would be just as unusual as being short. Yet I've never heard opposition to making things more accommodating to deaf people. Essentially, their issue isn't with the problem being solved, but that this solution to the problem is too effective.

> Many disabled people and experts on disability see it as socially constructed

They are wrong. Even without society, the disability would exist. The only social construct is the threshold for how badly something needs to affect you before it is considered a disability. While it's true that we can, through science, reduce the degree to which a disability affects a person to the point it falls below that threshold, this is just curing disability. The fact that a disease can be cured doesn't make it a social construct. The only real point to be had here is that the word "disabled" is a social construct, but this is a meaningless statement. All words are social constructs. That's just how words work.
I haven't either, although I'm a little younger than you (about to turn 31), so deep down there's still hope I eventually will within some reasonable timeframe, while I'm still "young".
Great story. I think the artist is Tamsie Ringler.
Everyone is on an equal footing materially (basically), which opens the door to the social layer being all-important (and wildly unequal).
Yes, it often is. In a "controlled" environment you control what you control and not the stuff that you can't control or don't even know about. It's tedious and sort of a chore to setup and a source of ongoing woes afterwards. On the other hand natural experiments abound when you have large scale. Just having really large N on both arms of an experiment where the difference is the compiled program, and there are no systematic biases in traffic patterns, will reveal smaller regressions that weren't found in the controlled load tests.
Hearing people by definition can do something that deaf people cannot: HEAR SOUND.

Being able to hear is basically a superpower if you are deaf.

I found this approach works best with languages having method overloading. For PHP it felt quite limiting, and it also requires you to have more complexity and overhead with wrapping.

But I have no hard evidence at hand, only how I experienced that in PHP.
I'm not going to speculate on what the trustee's motivations may have been, but according to the reports we have so far, no public auction was held. Since apparently there were only 2 bidders, it's most likely going to the actual highest bidder. It would be highly prejudicial to hold 'another' auction, as now we know what the original bids were.

Jones is alleging the DOJ has been orchestrating this from behind the scenes. We'll see what's going on once Trump takes office.
It really disturbs me how good Coke is at making Christmas ads.
Notably: there were other OpenAI models that weren't quantize, but also performed poorly.
Agreed.

I can't claim to be always be good at it, but this is what I strive for as well. I like talking to a candidate about something they are experienced or even expert at, and asking questions until I find the boundary of their ability. It can be very illuminating what happens when they hit it -- some get defensive, some get enthusiastic.

Defensiveness might just mean they're being interviewed and I failed to adequately put them at ease. But usually when we're neck-deep in some specific topic, both of us will kind of forget that it's an interview -- especially since the topic is more in their area of strength than mine.

Otherwise, defensiveness often means they never actually wanted to understand the problem they were working on, they just wanted to use it to get a degree or ship something by throwing it over the wall and forgetting about it. Even someone who is heartily sick of their PhD topic (as in, everyone who is over 1/3 of the way to getting one) will be relieved to discuss the ideas behind it, the reasons why it caught their interest in the first place, when they don't have to do the work of coming up with rigid results and writing them up.

Enthusiasm is usually a good sign, though even there I have to watch out for excessive enthusiasm where they care more about the problem itself than the benefits of solving the problem, and are likely to waste resources in unnecessary pursuits of perfection.

Oh, and finding the limits of someone's knowledge doesn't require a genius, which is fortunate since I am decidedly not one. 3-year olds can do it just by endlessly asking "why?" You'll probably need to be a little more sophisticated than that, which is good since you'll be able to evaluate their ability to explain things to you in the process.

I do like the return key, though.

To me it just looks like they increment by one with each commit. Some numbers might be skipped simply because of fixup rebases.

Having a similar experience with our first child this week. Almost a full day of labour only to have a c-section at the very end due to complications.

Even the c-section seemed absolutly brutal, at one point I was convinced one of the surgeons placed his foot on the table for leverage, given how much movement there was to her body.

As if the physical trauma wasn't enough, being in a room with multiple first-time parents struggling to breastfeed as both they and their children cried, then being visited and probed every hour by medical staff with ineffective pain relief, /and/ having work out how to care for your child when the only communication path is basically through
an amplitude modulated scream -

Honestly, I've had some low points in my life, I thought I had a high tolerance for physical and emotional pain, but I can only describe what my wife experienced this week as total, crushing anguish.

Yeah, I saw that coming a mile away. Don't you remember uni? Students always breathed a sigh of relief when the final exam was a take home project.

Now add this to the fact that a vast majority of your applicants are going to be feeding your assignment directly into an assistive LLM.

As an interviewer, you really can't win.

- If you have a take-home test, people will either complain that it's too involved, and time consuming.

- If you do whiteboarding, people will claim that it's not representative of the actual job.

- If you do paired programming, people will claim it's unfair to those who don't test well under pressure.

Ooh I really like the triangle one. It's the top voted answer, so I guess I'm not alone.

In fact, I think I really enjoy specialized notations. I care about how ideas are expressed, sometimes even more than the ideas themselves. Sheet music, SQL, creating DSLs in Lisp, Hoon code (controversial here).

There are counter examples. For example, I adore coding in SQL, but ORMs always feel super gross. And isn't Paul Graham's adoration of Lisp kind of a programming version of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis?

Whatever, and in Sapir (and Whorf)'s defense, how "debunked" is linguistic relativity anyway?

Whatever, I'll keep accruing beautiful new symbols and vocabularies and aesthetics for saying things that were previously unsayable and discovering new ideas to put together elegantly.
>Some people get it in their heads that their commit history needs to be "clean". It doesn't...

I do not care about git commit history at all. Do not squash. Don't do anything other than commit, push, and merge PRs. I don't delete old branches, I don't do anything beyond the basics. I don't even use rebase. It has never bit me in the ass at all in all the years I've been running this team. The less I have to do with git, the better.
thank you, you're right and my edit window has closed. Sorry Tamsie!
Eh, coding challenges in of themselves are fair enough. What companies really need to understand is that:

1. Said challenges should reflect the work done on a day to day basis, not something completely disconnected from the company as a whole

Google's interview challenges should be very different from say, a local web development agency's interview challenges. I've seen too many companies where either the challenge was way too difficult/complex for the job on offer (build a complex modern app from scratch for a junior/graduate level role, or solve a bunch of leetcode tests and HackerRank puzzles for a WordPress agency job), or where it was far too simple (I remember at least one software engineering interview for a React focused role where the challenge could be solved without writing a single line of JavaScript).

2. The requirements and environment should match a realistic working day

When was the last time you had no access to the internet, no access to an offline IDE, no access to premade software, no one to help, a boss standing screaming at you over your shoulder and a camera tracking your every eye movement in case you're 'cheating'?

Probably never right? Unless your company environment is a dystopian hellhole, this is probably not your typical set of working conditions. Don't expect interviewees to work under them, they're not kids in school doing an exam.

3. And that said projects should be somewhat realistic in terms of scope

Most people aren't coding a new website/app from the ground up every day/week. Expecting someone to create that in a few hours feels incredibly unrealistic, and an incredibly poor method of judging someone's skills in the role.

The world was dark half the day for much of human history. Communicating in the dark is clearly easier with noise than signing or passing tactile writing around. It's not like we just invented noise for the fun of it, it's just a better medium in most situations.
It's not just a current thing, either. Tokenization basically lets you have a model with a larger input context than you'd otherwise have for the given resource constraints. So any gains from feeding the characters in directly have to be greater than this advantage. And for CoT especially - which we know produces significant improvements in most tasks - you want large context.
(Disclaimer: I work for a headless CMS.)

I think Next.js is overkill for a simple blog. Can you just put the blog on a different subdomain and host it on Wix or Squarespace or Wordpress (if you trust them) or similar? Much easier for your friend that way.

Otherwise, if you really want to integrate it into your existing Next.js frontend, that's what headless CMSes were made for. They provide an API for you to fetch from as a dev, along with an easy GUI for your non-tech friend to easily use to compose articles with.

Ghost is an open-source one you can self-host, and there are a bunch of others (including the one I work for). See some reviews at https://www.g2.com/categories/headless-cms?utf8=%E2%9C%93&fi... or a list at https://jamstack.org/headless-cms/ (I'm not affiliated with those sites).

You can also self-host a different frontend or full-stack (non-headless) CMS on a subdomain (or a subfolder/path if you must, with a lot more routing complexity). For flat-file blogs, probably Grav or TinaCMS could work for both you and the user (because they include an editor GUI). Or else Astro is easy to deploy as a dev, much simpler than Next, but it doesn't have a built-in editor GUI so you'd have to pair it with a headless CMS (or make your own simple one).

Your reply does not deserve to be flagged. "Holistic medicine" is just one of the many rebrandings of "alternative medicine." Maybe I wouldn't have put it exactly that way, but "holistic" is definitely one of those key words that should gently sound the quackery alert. Like "herbal" and "detox" and "homeopathy" and "naturopathy" and so on.

It is fair to describe the pains of not getting analysis on mortgage loan estimates, but what I think folks are looking for is some kind of authentic answer to the problem posed.

For example, you could advise the person uploading to remove PII prior to the upload, and link to pdf editing tools that allow them to do that.

You could say that not including PII like full name(s) found on just about every loan estimate does not take away from the value of the tool.

Another thing that could be done is to provide clear means for removing any data uploaded, or opt-out pre-upload of any data being used for training.

For example by creating an account first.

Providing some skin in the game such as putting the removal behavior in the terms of service and a personal guarantee to do everything to ensure sensitivity to privacy of this information will be handled carefully staking your reputation, probably would help.
