And like you did, a SAM + VLM is the first thing we tried and it felt high-potential already. It takes a lot of software work to put the right pieces together though, but we think we now ended up with something promising, scalable and extendable for a lot of people.

And on the price: same, our initial prototype was around $250 but I had to connect it to my computer. It's unclear to many others in the field whether we'll be able to offload compute with latency low enough to a computer somewhere else in the house or even in the cloud. In the meantime at least, we decided to have onboard compute so that you can get started quickly. Even for you it would be useful, just because we did the work of putting all the hardware and electronics together, it's a pretty good computer onboard :)
I am not saying networks are not doing that. They absolutely do that. But TikTok does it too. Its not like TikTok is some unfiltered bastion of freedom. TikTok is way more aggressive with shadowbans than even Facebook where they stopped caring and its all automated curation.

Some will want to pay more for better service, but it seems likely to be plenty for people who aren't full-time programmers and don't write code every day?
The concept of string doesn't exist at "transitor level"
I took a look at the code that I started with and... it is kinda horrible.

https://github.com/AnykeyNL/Quincy/blob/master/coordcalc.py#...

There is a loop in a loop that goes through all the possible values of x and y to find the correct ones. No wonder it's so slow!

The scipy solver - inspired by the original article, I used https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.o... - isn't much faster though (from reading the docs, it's just a smarter random search).

I guess it's time to learn some linear algebra (again!) and create a custom algorithm.

One slight correction/clarification: "firmware" in this context can sometimes be referring specifically to the firmware that runs on the WiFi radios, rather than the whole Linux OS running on the application processor. The WiFi firmware is closed-source and comes from the silicon vendor rather than the router OEM: Qualcomm, Broadcom, or Mediatek, not TP-Link, ASUS, Netgear, etc. Even when running OpenWRT, you're still relying on that closed-source WiFi firmware to have a working radio. (The closest thing to an exception: https://www.candelatech.com/ath10k.php)

WiFi NIC firmware is a much smaller attack surface than the whole Linux OS.
A lot of payments chatter on here recently and patio11 throwing out some great content as well. May I ask where this pretty visual explanation website was 25 years ago? ;) Oh the woes of programming ISO8583 as I see another commented on EBCDIC which adds in a whole other level of mind numbing when passing between the endians. It was a fun experience however back in the early 2000s when I worked in isolation with Discover card to get the GUID field added to the ISO8583 specification.

We are living in changing times on many fronts and the worlds financial systems is one of those new battlefields. Many are ignorant as to what is occurring but with big tech owning their own payments ecosystems this should be insight for others not aware as we are absolutely certain to see more following their lead. Some of those others following are entire countries, they are just a bigger business after all, as it is already happening for those aware and a small select few are doing i.t.

Actually in my experience running physics (Box2D) is relatively harmless since it's purely in WASM and doesn't need to interact with any JS API directly.

By far the biggest headache for me is actually Lua. It has terrible perf natively also but in WASM it's complete dog shit. I suspect there might be some bad allocation patterns or something that make it perform very poorly. I haven't had time to investigate that yet to my satisfaction.

Your game runs quite smoothly, didn't get the logic but it didn't jank much. :)
You'd still have to comply with the H1-B rules for the job you are petitioning for, like the duties you are performing, the salary requirements etc. And the legal costs of doing the petition.

Now, misuse could come if you are independently wealthy and can self fund, but at the end of the day if you are doing that in the US, the economy still benefits.
It's much, much better than TTS you might be familiar with. Give it a call.
The actual killer feature for me is the much superior autocompletion, Cursor always suggests an edit inline once I stopped typing, without having me to type a prompt to ask it to do stuff. And it feels faster than GH Copilot, too.

For us who prefer coding ourselves (instead of telling LLMs to do stuff and review the result) it is much much better.
Tangential, but I was looking into this yesterday and couldn't find the answer:

How does her term work?

Seats on the FTC are supposed to last for 7 years. She was nominated in 2021 and her term technically expired a couple months ago. Apparently she gets to remain in it until a replacement is appointed.

Has she just been filling in the remainder of someone else's term, like Laphonza Butler as CA Senator?
I think you should ask why any feature of our immigration system exists. Each way is cruel, byzantine and expensive for no discernible benefit to anyone except the directors of those programs.
The sad thing is that most of these issues have been around for a decade or more, and it feels like very little progress has been made aside from WebGPU almost being usable now (still waiting for Safari and Firefox). Unreal Engine had a web target, again a decade ago, and ended up deprecating it because such little progress had been made in maturing the platform.

I have never been left in worse financial straits in my life than the time I learned what "coinsurance" is, and now I consider any health plan with that limitation to be essentially worthless. If health insurance can't protect you from being bankrupted by an unexpected medical experience, what is the point of it?
A supposed shortage of qualified US applicants for tech jobs, especially software developers, doesn't jibe with the huge numbers of US developers currently looking for work, including highly experienced older workers suffering from age discrimination.

I'd be surprised if more than 5-10% of H-1B positions are ones where the hiring company has even looked for US applicants.
Follow the sun is great for on-call rotations, but I'm my experience, for regular project work, the need for a handoff each day ends up being too much overhead. The teams in vastly different time zones wind up working mostly independently on completely different projects.
It's funny, I asked it what model it is, and it replies:

I used the same argument in Brazil to support a strong free software preference in all government functions. Support from voters in Redmond wouldn’t get anyone re-elected in Brazil.
In EU, you see the total and per-night inclusive all of fees and taxes when searching and comparing.

If you search for an area without dates, it comes up with some arbitrary dates and applies the fees and displays per night cost accordingly.

So it's technically possible. They just don't want to.

Ultimately it just wasted time and money, and causes lots of stress, for no useful purpose.
It would be cool if they added fax support for multimodal prompts. I don’t know if I’m joking or not.
Problem with the passport card is it requires me to send my existing passport for several weeks. In the event of a government shutdown I'd be SOL.

REAL ID is plausible but I don't really trust it, given that illegal immigrants can get identity cards in my state.
This is the main sticking point for me, I'm not leaving JetBrains anytime soon. GitHub Copilot + Aider handle my needs beautifully and while I wish Aider had deep IDE integration I can work around that (Yes, I know about the "AI!" command thing, it's a cool idea but sucks in practice). Aider in browser mode has pretty much replaced my back and forth to ChatGPT/Claude's web UI to the point that I'm considering going API-only for both of those (currently pay for the $20/mo plan for each).
For many people housing isn't part of a basket, it is the basket.

If food prices go up, it hurts psychologically but it's not the end of the world. I can buy cheaper food, I can buy less food, I can eat out less. Most people in the developed world are very far from food price-induced famine. I can buy a year's worth of sustenance for a thousand dollars, it might not be healthy but I'm not going to die.

Housing is qualitatively different. Many renters are only a few steps away from homelessness, and more people rent nowadays because they cannot afford to buy. It's hard to adjust for increases in housing costs by buying cheaper housing, your housing is linked to your income.

I complain about but don't ever worry about food prices, yet the roof over my head is a real cause for concern.

For my parents' generation it was the opposite, being overweight was more uncommon, housing was dirt cheap, people worried about getting enough calories rather than too many. Indexing wages to inflation is an anachronism that we have taken into this new world.

> Khalid performed the ceremony over the Channel with Gladys taking the name Khair ul Nissa.

"Khair ul* Nissa"?! This cannot be a coincidence? That was also the name of a young Hyderabadi noblewoman who married the earlier English convert to Islam, James Achilles Kirkpatrick** [1][2]. It caused controversy in Hyderabadi society at the time, but after Kirkpatrick's death, it became widely(?) seen in England as having been a devoted relationship and a very romantic story. IIRC it was Thomas Carlyle who said Kirkpatrick had "scaled walls for" Khair un Nissa. So I will guess that Gladys had heard that story.

* Shouldn't that be "un"?

** How good is that name?
> AI is an apex technology amongst technologies designed to further enrich the elite and strengthen the power structure.

This one I somewhat agree with. Ideally these technologies are owned by nobody.

Though it does give me hope when I see Facebook of all companies leading the charge in regards to open sourcing AI. The fact that their business model incentivizes them to do this, is good (lucky) for everyone, whatever your other opinions of the company are.
It brings its own set of communication and cross-cultural challenges.
It also seems to be a great game for randomly redistributing chocolate coins among children while giving them something to do that's not "run around screaming" for a while. The game went on all day long? Great, that kept them out of your hair and amused them.
There are better visas and even green cards if you're wealthy.
My guess is that the comment means there is always some minor tweaks to tax laws, so that tax on certain products could change, and that may happen a few times a year. I don't think it means sales tax rate changes on all products a few times a year.

There is a caveat -- if you count the "sales tax holidays" in various US states, it means in those places, tax rates for some products change at least twice a year -- from 7% to 0% then back to 7%, for example.
I don't disagree really. I do think there are in-this-context significant differences between how individual saints are interacted with. A personal or family patron saint tends much more towards looking like ancestor veneration, compared to eg mary who in practice takes a role that would in other religions be filled by a deity of femininity/motherhood/nurturing/etc.

But overall in any case I think it's sometimes valuable to think of christianity this way and sometimes not. It is a syncretic religion so of course it has regional variations and contradictory remnants of absorbed practices. IIRC some of the specific saint traditions, like icons in the home, predate christianity in the mediterranean.

But on the other hand there are practices and relationships common in true polytheistic religions that you don't see in christianity at all. If taking the saints as minor deities, you don't find sects exalting one of them exclusively, nor do you see individual christians "defect" from one saint to another for personal advantage. There's no theology of competition or opposition between the saints to base such practices on at all. So there are limits to the usefulness of this perspective too.

The shintoism example is interesting, I'll need to look more into it. I had considered it polytheistic but now that I think about it I haven't read shinto writings on the subject so I don't know if most shinto practitioners experience it that way. Outside perspectives aren't completely invalid of course but they aren't as interesting to me as how believers experience their own religions.
I agree with that. I think AI may not make us dumber in every way, but it certainly will make us dumber when it comes to being able to plot out independent, large-scale solutions. We will be as dependent on AI for certain sorts of decision-making as we are on water treatment to treat our polluted water sources.

This was something that astounded me about my weight. It is static. Has been static since I gained it all (when my thyroid quit working at 18 - over 4 months I gained 100 pounds). Since that date more than half my life ago, I have been the exact same 220lb +/- 5lb depending on time of day. Through caloric deficits, through hiking and jogging (run many 5ks, and just recently hiked 125mi through the mountains). I'm fit, I eat well, but I'm BMI of 34, and my weight never fluctuates.

My wife has wanted me to get on ozempic, but I'm actually scare of side effects, and the cost is atrocious in the US.

The benefit of a Ruby-specific JSON parser is that the parser can directly output Ruby objects. Generic C JSON parsers generally have their own data model, so instead of just parsing JSON text into Ruby objects you'd be parsing JSON text into an intermediate data structure and then walk that to generate Ruby objects. That'd necessarily use more memory, and it'd probably be slower too unless the parser is way faster.

Same applies to generating JSON: you'd have to first walk the Ruby object graph to build a yyjson JSON tree, then hand that over to yyjson.
I don't want to turn this into another Claude lies less than ChatGPT subthread but since you mentioned configuration of MikroTik routers I felt like I should.

> I don't really trust it

REAL ID is a bare minimum. It shows that you at least have legal residency.

FWIW it's trusted by DHS so that's all that matters for your usecase or assumption.

If you are worried about the risk of being hauled by ICE, then you should get a REAL ID.

Before GitHub Copilot was a paid feature. This only shows to the Cursor team that they are going to the right direction.

Same for us back then! If I did it today though I would love to try using a RPi 5, these look incredible. But honestly NVIDIA just released their new Jetson Nano Super for 250$ and I think at this point it's a no-brainer to use this instead of an rpi.
