This is awesome! I love to see projects like this.

Ahh to be young again.
Isn't that what the original resnet project disproved? Rather than trying to hand-manicure what the NN should look for, just make it deep enough and give it enough training data, and it'll figure things out on its own, even better than if we told it what to look out for.

Of course, cost-wise and training time wise, we're probably a long way off from being able to replicate that in a general purpose NN. But in theory, given enough money and time, presumably it's possible, and conceivably would produce better results.

I've heard that the soldering temperatures aren't nearly enough to make the lead a gas and the fumes from the flux are what can kill you. I suppose the same advice applies in that case, but is that accurate?
OK that's fair since I said "good money" but $10K is a bit out of reach. I was thinking more in the $2K range. My best option today is a MacBook Pro Max with a quad 4K setup, which is relatively affordable but unwieldy and requires at least two Thunderbolt cables (or a desktop setup).
Proximity lets you infer lots of things.
If you have location over time, you can learn a lot about where a person spends their time which lets you infer what they like to do which advertisers will pay a premium for.
Abstract is impressive. I'm surprised this post hasn't gotten more attention.

But, I do appreciate your point that it’s good to see the sausage being made. Then again, I am a person who knows exactly what is in scrapple and how it’s made, but when I am in Philly if I go to a diner it’s what I order and scarf up every morsel.
I don't think these are 8K monitors. They support 8K input via 4x 12G SDI, but they contain 4K panels at 3840 x 2160.
I used to do a lot of Hypercard. Never tried Livecode. Just looking at their site and their pricing model, I'm curious, do you actually have to get their approval / notify them for every app you develop and where it gets released? I can't imagine spending the time to adopt a language that was controlled by one company that way. Learned my lesson with Flash AS3, but at least Adobe didn't care what you made with it or try to put their hand in your revenue stream.
The sync would stall and I'd have to go retry, or it would fail with no error clear message. In the end, I had no idea what had really synched correctly. The app was unhappy if I deleted a photo too quickly.

With Syncthing, I sync to a directory that my Nextcloud user can access (a read-only mount), so I can still easily share photos using Nextcloud, for example.

(although it's unfortunate that the Android syncthing app is being retired. h/t for the heads up and the recommended alternatives)
There are better examples, sure, however the early banning of the real time account was a very famous and very early example of that which would follow given it came a very short time after a very public declaration of tolerance.

From my point of view the requiring a delay after all this publicity and talk is pure security theatre .. I would argue that any stalker motivated enough to harm Musk and family is motivated enough to look up how to directly access the raw real time tail data feed - it's not difficult to access and there's been more than enough forum discussion and scripts rolled up that no real barrier exists.

I threw it in merely as it was the first very public instance of watch what he does in opposition to that which he says.
Mostly I'm just trying to explain just how (relatively) hard things are, so people wont get too far out of their depth. I'd really recommend doing the usual HLL/assembler approach - start with a verilog only implementation, build a test bench (tiny tapeout has infrastructure for this), look at the bits you want to be faster/denser, try a hand compiled gates implementation (you can do this within verilog for a start), then maybe even hand lay it out

I dunno. Given the public polls seemed to be accurate in hindsight that just suggests Harris' internal polling was off. They were the C-team that were losing to Trump with Biden and struggling to match his raw charisma with Harris' campaigning. Maybe their pollster wasn't very good or they didn't do that much polling? We can't really assess what was going on inside the campaign in that way.
Yeah, people have gripes about all kinds of things that are commercially successful. A status-quo with a gripe is no less the status-quo.

It is a fact that all of the top selling devices in this market overwhelmingly connect to WiFi directly.

I agree. The rosin/flux comprises the majority of the fumes. It's still a good idea to have ventilation.

I have a setup in my garage with a vent fan connected to a dryer vent and a rubber flexible hose I can put near the solder station. I also hook it up to my 3D printer enclosure if I'm doing ABS.
Software Has Made Us Soft
Yes that’s accurate for hobbyist work. There will be some lead vapour, but at the temperatures used for soldering we’re talking a few atoms. The flux is much more of a risk, and both are mitigated with proper fume extraction.

Lead does bioaccumulate so continual exposure to low levels is dangerous, but unless you’re soldering all day every day it’s not likely to be dangerous.

If you’re a factory and have multiple wave soldering baths operating it’s a different story.
I think this nails the difference in my workflow against people that tend to say it is difficult. In infrastructure commit history, which is often tied to CI CD processes that reach far outside of a repository and org - commit history is sacred. I need the absolute order of when things got merged in, because it provides a clean timeline to backtrack any issues. maybe I’m doing it wrong but every mature sysyem I’ve worked in basically operates this way. I suspect you run into more merge conflicts but I’m by no means a git expert.

Cotton is the antithesis of wicking - it holds moisture and chills the skin. It would be hard to find a fabric worse at wicking than cotton. It can hold liquid up to 27 times its mass.

For whatever it's worth, I've done that before and haven't noticed them being undone. But then, neither did the auhtor of the article so who knows.

What I find glossed over is that the article quotes Stackexchange saying that the author would have gotten the same demotion anyway, just that now someone opened their profile and was like "oh hey an unhandled flag, wonder what that's about" and looked into it. The system being quick for once doesn't make it retribution in my mind, which is the conclusion they draw. If they'd say "probably the punishment was worse because of the context at that point", I could have followed the logic because it doesn't say anywhere how they got to 1 year demotion (it's not a ban, another exaggeration afaik: they can use the site like anyone else just without reputation/karma privileges, is what it says at least), which seems like a lot for what they did, but that's not the argument made
>Since we are working with a monospace font, every glyph must have the same advance

Just pointing out that this is merely an expectation and not a rule. You can happily design a "monospace" font in any font publishing software that blatantly disrespects a single width. In fact, you can just manually make any letterform 2x width, and that is exactly what most monospace ligatures do! (except the bad ones, which combine e.g. "fi" ligature a single width letter)

The ligature letters are just... 2x width. Believe it or not this is totally legal!

I think the ligature from MonoLisa is a good example of how not to do ligatures. I can't tell whether it stands for "#={" or "#{". Ligatures can be nice, to each their own, but only if they don't introduce ambiguity.

That “list of sources” style of writing is difficult to read and unfocused. I’d recommend picking one topic and sticking with it.
you don't need any keys for trust, you can imagine a centralized system and "trust" can be expessed as "adding person to your friends list". Then you the social network recommends you posts of the friends of your friends

what I'm trying to say, I think you don't need public keys to organize content filtering

and to answer the titular question: I don't know such a community. maybe it's possible to use an existing social network and add extra javascript on top to filter posts based on your "web of trust"?
And the policies could in the future explicitly not include wildfire risk
Try turning off Input Signal Plus. That seems to attempt to do some fancier detection of the HDMI signal that breaks some things.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with him at Forbin for a number of years about 6 years ago. He will be remembered.
Oh, hey, I was working on that back in 2014 for one of the big TV manufacturers. The project was ultimately cancelled.

It was nice for things like switching HDMI inputs; you could dynamically update the name and icon, making it more intuitive for someone who had never used the TV before and didn't know what was plugged into which port. You could also adjust settings more easily without everyone have to watch together with you on the big screen as you dug to find the obscure setting to tweak.

But your complaints were equally valid, and were a concern at the time.

I would have liked to see it ship, if just to see if customers liked it. A traditional remote still worked too. But oh well.

On the other side of the coin, I think people also underestimate the amount of human thinking and intelligence is just completing statistically likely words. Most actions and certainly reactions people do everyday involve very little reasoning. Instead just following the most used neuron.
Lead has a boiling point of 1749 degrees C. That is at least 1200 degrees higher than your typical soldering temperature. If you use a propane torch you’ll almost touch that temp.
Spot on. Would be interesting to see what sort of hoops you'd have to jump through in an academic lab today to secure similar money.

It's gotten be all the way to where I wanted to be by writing specific detailed things I want the code to do and specific things I don't want it to do. It also helped me learn some specific memory mapping lingo and lets me ask questions that help me further understand the nuances.

The code it would produce did have errors but after telling it "this code gives me this error" it would rewrite it usually fixing the error or causing a new one. You can quickly find out if it's in an "error-spiral" after a few back and forths at which you do some googling to see if maybe the way you're doing it is completely off base or if there's something the ai is missing.

Money Hungry Mob of Extortionists, Grifters and Rent-Seekers
So the other day on Mastodon I posted a link to this amazingly depressing video in which the author laments the fact that he lost one of his freelance writing gigs to AI powered tech. I also said that “the tech industry has devolved into a money hungry mob of extortionists, grifters and rent-seekers” and promised a subsequent blog post on the topic. This is that post.

So let’s start this post off on the right foot by making some declarations most of you will likely regard as a sign of premature-dementia on my part, shall we?

I'm well aware! :) McMaster-Carr's perf story is legendary, and is frequently cited as inspiration by other companies. I've actually done deep dives on both (Home Depot has other good qualities).

From what I can tell the largest vulnerability is argument passing to executables in Windows. Essentially it is very difficult to safeguard it. I've seen some CLI programs use the '--' to signify user input at the end, maybe this would solve this for a single argument scenario. Overall, this is an excellent article and vulnerability discovery.

I'm in agreement. GUIs when it comes to git should offer a more limited, but consistent and understandable set of actions for users.

I'd imagine something very close to what SVN or CVS offered, and mainly targeted at users who won't be professionally working with a full team on a shared code base.

Correct. :)

There's no real way to get around that geometry problem, you can either see several at once but they're pinpricks or one at a time but potentially somewhat more clearly.
> you don't need any keys for trust, you can imagine a centralized system ...

I guess part of the essence of what I was trying to describe was that it's non-centralized. Otherwise, you have to trust some entity to unilaterally behave well, now and forever. But fair point; something like this could be implemented in someone else's walled garden. I wouldn't trust it though :p

Famously, there have been cases of reddit admins modifying people's comments secretly. A digital signature would defeat that (even if it's hosted on "hostile" servers).

Since you mentioned JS overlays... One thing that is somewhat similar is using RES[1] on reddit. When you upvote/downvote a person's post, it keeps track of a total +/- count for each username, and displays it next to it in the UI. This isn't quite trust, but it is a kind of "my opinion of this user, gathered over time" overlay... There's also no notion of sharing this info with others.

Interesting. My experience is the opposite. Sodder, soddering is the norm. Every lab, every tech at every company has said it that way. I'm from the west coast USA if thats relevant. If I ever heard someone say "sold-er" I probably dismissed it as someone who only ever read the word, and was sounding it out phonetically.
Perhaps Lobsters? https://lobste.rs/about#invitations

For a single community like Lobsters, you don't need the digital signatures part at all.

Television: Fast general purpose fuzzy finder TUI
In his 1948 novel '1984', George Orwell imagined 'telescreens' - devices that enabled two-way surveillance while broadcasting content. In the story, 'The Party' had to mandate their installation, because of course no one would install such an Orwellian device voluntarily!

Today, we voluntarily install smart TVs, always-listening assistants, and IoT cameras in our homes. Unlike telescreens, which were limited by human monitoring capacity, modern devices can automatically process, store, and analyze surveillance data at scale [1].

The dystopian technology wasn't just recreated - it was improved upon, then marketed as a convenience.

Hey! Just caught up to replies.

There is project-oriented engineering work that lasts for some arbitrary near-term period as well (2 week scrums, or 6 week long cycles in the shape-up world) -- but there is some deep strategic thought given to overarching design, etc. that I think the original post was talking about. Those don't fit neatly into OKRs and I buy that.

I would think that some marketing work is project-like but there have to be things that are more strategic in nature... Things that have impact beyond a quarterly campaign, etc.

That's where I was coming from. Feel free to disagree. Would love to get your take. :)
I just discovered that the wxWidget library has Ruby (and python) bindings! wxRuby3. And it works on OSX, Windows and Linux.
Soldering makes a metal-metal connection, with the flux ensuring oxides are removed. This makes a very low resistance connection, mechanically it’s very strong, and it’s easy to automate. As a bonus it’s also very easy to undo.

Other technologies like glues and crimping have their uses but are less reliable, higher resistance, or difficult to automate.

This may change but there’s little demand. Glues have lower conductivity and are harder to remove, mechanical connectors are bulky and not as strong.
