Thanks so much! Answering your great qs:

1) I still have the waving your fingers stage (it's after the screenpalm), but it now walks you through different finger motions so that the results are more consistent than waving your fingers all around. It's detecting then angle of motion, but I'm so far only using this for building the 3D hand model. The old method had better UX and fewer bugs, but the new one will more accurately measure the size of your hand.

2) I've never thought of that! I sometimes generate symmetrical keyboards for myself, simply because it’s easier to edit when both sides are synced. But I ultimately think it’s better to fit each hand independently.

3) The cygnus keyboard is super cool. I’ve made one and modified the STEP file to change the sockets. The fusion 360 files for it are published, so it likely has some parametrization but not anywhere close enough to achieve the flexibility of the Cosmos model.

There’s a tradeoff between customizability and how perfect the keyboard looks and feels. I’ve opted to go all-in on customizability, because to my knowledge no other keyboard design does this. I make as few assumptions about your keyboard as I can, so that Cosmos works with a single key, small mouse-like modules with a trackpad/ball and a few keys, or a proper keyboard shape. The downside is that what I’m doing is akin to teaching a robot to paint, whereas I’d compare designs like the Cygnus that place more constraints on the keyboard shape to a human painting. Until AI becomes sufficiently skilled at 3D design, the human painting will be more creative and skilled than the robot, and I can't bridge both types of design.
As a security nerd I like the idea of a cheap MCU with hardware security, but as an electronics nerd I'm not keen on having users who just want cheap MCU's (the majority of Pico users) to have to subsidize a potentially expensive security chip. Last time I looked, smart card chips cost quite a bit more than the RP2350 does. So we're quite possibly talking about adding considerably more than a few pennies a chip, which is already a lot for this type of product. Hmm.

It was a reference to 'Good Will Hunting'. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's first movie.
True. That's why IT Services companies have such massive practices dedicated to DevOps. Its a great annuity business for them.
Yep, multiple independent total compromises. It may well take quite a few more iterations to fix everything. And of course they'll never know if they've really fixed everything. Better to just see this as a general purpose MCU with some basic security features, but not hardened the way some smart card chips are.

A review away from BMI is in my personal, non-medical view, long overdue.

How do you do for syntax highlighting ?
I spent some time with this on my data set, and in my hands I wasn't able to produce results that were convincingly better than libx264, but with slower encodes and larger output files. It's really hard to beat libx264.
It is primarily the forward sweep/caster of the front wheel forks which makes the wheel turn into any lean and the forward motion of the bike with the turned wheel tries to bring the bike back under the overall balance point. With the steering axis/forks in a perfectly vertical position where the wheel's contact point and steering axis are perfectly aligned, the wheel will not really respond to leans and you would have to actively turn it to balance. And with a negative caster the wheel would want to actively turn away from any leans making the bike fight against balancing.
Put a whole lot of effort into exploring and mastering various ways to learn. Get very good at it in many different contexts. You'll be doing a lot of it in your live. You will have to re-invent yourself multiple times. If you don't master changing yourself to keep up with things, you will slowly descend into a life of joyless drudgery.
Virulent anti-nationalists are generally marxist leninist communists.

The rhetoric of the anti-nationalists is generally implicitly or explicitly "internationalist". In early Communist organization names they often used the word "international" and I think they even have a toe tappin' song by that name:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDbatoAvuB4

And if you doubt the second part "are often pro-war" this is the doctrine of divide and conquer, civil war (called "class war") in which the target of their anti-nationalist colonialism is provoked into disorder before the "forces of liberation" can swoop in and expand the mother country.

This has been endlessly documented in many places. Probably one of the better ones is George Orwell's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homage_to_Catalonia

The app experience was bad for years even before this new app. The strange thing is when I was complaining then there were always defensive voices ready to deny any bad experience. I’m glad it’s finally come to light. Spent so much for Sonos.

> "Average" people are the norm

society has always been this way, from the hunter gatherer days, to middle ages - that's why people want to become part of the elite.

It's only recently that the average people have had the chance to become elites, rather than be born into it. But the desire to be elites, molded by evolutionary/darwinian pressure, is not gone, nor different, than in the past. Another word for it is "the human condition".
RE: feedback mechanism -- yep, a feedback mechanism is definitely something we're thinking of adding. Since we use VLMs that are trained to always output coordinates (i.e., they don't have a way to say "not on the page"), we're probably going to try fine tuning with some negative examples to see if we can build that feedback mechanism in.

One way to hack the scrolling to an element is to first run extract_bbox on a natural language description (in your case for GitHub it might be "follow button") then take the Y coordinate of that element and scroll that number of pixels. I just wrote this bit of code that I tested and it brings the contribution graph into full view:

simplex.goto("github.com/spro")
coords = simplex.extract_bbox("follow button")
simplex.scroll(coords[1])
simplex.wait(2000)
image = simplex.extract_image("green tile graph")

But then it incorrectly picks the code review/submissions/etc. graph as the green tile graph -- we'll look into it!

re: frequency graph typo -- just pushed a fix, thanks!
After spending some time on NixOS I basically decided to hold off until flakes become official and the docs are written with them in mind. In the mean time I just run Arch with Nix home-manager and I'm happy.

I've developed enough good habits over the years that I don't get breakages, and home-manager allows me to easily sync my dotfiles across machines..

A decentralized social network is an oxymoron. Centralization is the point.
libx264 is the best encoder for h264 ffmpeg has to offer so it's pretty important you bundle it in your ffmpeg install. Those commands are perfectly standard, I've been using something like that for 10+ years
When it was new. There are no excited early adopters to something that is 2 decades old.
Interesting… I learned exactly the opposite way and I’d argue it was easier. Feet on clutch and brake. Start the engine. Get used to the feeling. Gear stick into first. Back to neutral. Give it a wiggle, that’s how you know you’re in neutral. Practice changing from neutral to first and back. Foot off the brake, practice holding the engine at 1k, 1.5k, 2k rpm.

Talk through the next bit first: Hold engine at 1.5k rpm. Ease off clutch just enough to start engaging and rolling forwards. Back on the clutch then gently break to a stop. Repeat until confident.

Etc. etc. The whole time the learner is in control of the car and they learn the basics without having to worry about steering.

Radio was the original moral panic. Then television. Then video games. Now we're on to social media. But this time feels different. Why? Because even the adults are noticing they can't control themselves. Their attention in other things is suffering. Our brains are being trained to seek short dopamine hits from reels instead of entering a real flow state that solves fulfilling challenges.

Social media reel scrolling creates a "potato chip" kind of flow state... it seems to satisfy you in the moment, but even after you've consumed more than you thought you would, you're still unsatisfied. The introduction of a new medium is not novel, but the magnitude of the effect is.
This is exactly what it reminded me of. My dad taught me by setting me up on a flat surface (parking lot) and getting me to try and find the sweet spot where I could press on the gas a little. As in "let off the clutch a bit and press on the gas" with a bunch of ambiguity in the middle; how much should I do of either, why? When I was teaching my gf, I quickly realized this made no sense at all, and did exactly as you described. It didn't completely alleviate the stress, and I feel a bit bad that I put her through it, but just feathering the clutch is a massively better way to get a feel for it.
Teaching twenty kids of wildly different levels is always going to be harder that teaching a single kid, so parents have a great advantage by default.

Yes, there are educators who are so great they can teach all 20 kids amazingly well, but those are super rare. Most likely kids who are learn much faster or much slower than the rest will be left behind. If you child is in this group, it's better off to stay away from public school.

(It could have been much better if there were advanced classes, "magnet" schools, etc.. but in many states those programs are being cancelled and everyone is being forced into rigid programs.)
> The two hops, the two companies, are already acting in partnership, so what is there technically in the relay setup to stop the two companies from getting together—either voluntarily or at the secret command of some government—to compare notes, as it were, and connect the dots?

The OHTTP scheme does not _technically_ prevent this.
It increases the number parties need to cooperate to extract this information, hoping it would be caught somewhere in the pipeline.
This sounds like MoE and maybe a bit of chain-of-thought. Curious what someone with more domain expertise thinks about this

If they can test against Llama 70B and Mistral 7B, they ought to compare against Mistral 8x7b imho
In Seattle schools have double the budget compared to the years ago, and spend more than 25K per student each year. The schools are worse than ever, which has convinced me that funding isn’t the problem. This might be a local issue though, with a very ideological school district that has ignored the basics of education.
There is no perfection in life. But I will still put forward that the explicit goal of a PhD is exactly what you feel is hard to believe: it is to become an expert in some field and produce novel and impactful research. It’s not just “writing an essay”: there is a thesis, sure, but also an expectation of several other peer-reviewed papers and a defense. This is actually very critical and often forgotten in Hacker News, which largely does not understand why peer review is important. The whole point is that all then other experts in the field; the ones who have already gotten their credentials and are respected for their contributions, all come together and repeatedly verify that the contributions are worthy.

Does fraud happen? Of course. Do people submit more papers on hot topics because they think they are more likely to be approved? Of course. Are some people plagiarizing or misrepresenting the impact of their work? Of course. But the point is to reduce this, and the specific goal organizationally is to reduce these because they harm the reputation and purity of the idea.

I feel like your concern is similar to someone going “firefighting is not actually intrinsically beneficial for humanity”. When someone tells me they’re a firefighter I generally think that they’re doing something valuable. You can argue, well some of them use it as an excuse to get inside a house so they can loot it. Or others are private firefighters for oil companies, and not the “good” community firefighters that save houses. Maybe some of them are doing it for the money and not because they actually particularly care for saving people. But I would counter that the concept is sound and that obvious abuse is, in theory, supposed to be punished.
Except there's no reason to believe extremist schools should grow significantly. Most people aren't extremists (pretty much by definition). In fact, good schools are a usual top tier concern when looking at housing. Your worry about fly-by-night schools extracting profits and fleeing is also not particularly hard to solve: hold them liable for damages/a return of n years of voucher funds if the school fails to meet standards and require them to carry insurance or post a bond to prove they can meet their liability. High performing schools or new schools associated to people/organizations with a previous success record will have cheap premiums. Dodgy schools will have expensive premiums or will be uninsurable. Your worry about special ed is also not that complex: give higher funds for those kids to offset their higher cost.
Brilliant. And correct.
The people who created this concepts landed there after going through similar paths like you did (i.e. they started somewhere straightforward but eventually invented these complexities out of necessity.) They understand they "why" behind it.

But somehow, in the curriculum, we expect complete noobs to just get this abstract, non-relatable concepts without any contexts.
You can just not( iseven() )
Yeah my experience is much closer to that, I generally point my clients to core over cloud even if they're indifferent to the cost. (Sorry dbt guys, love your product, but somebody read the strategy memo backwards and you've got lock-out not lock-in. Replacing my IDE, ci/cd, or orchestration are "dealbreakers", not "features")

This one includes BMI.
So primary school? That seems another possibility for what made the teacher's school singular.
1,200 men of the same ethnic and religious background of the median American, brought over in a one-time arrangement in the wake of the most destructive war ever fought, versus 100,000 Indian H1B visas granted annually. That's just India, not counting other countries or visa types. Okay. Sure. Totally the same. We couldn't have made it back to the Moon without a million indentured IT workers.
For sure! PHP's a great language and tool! You'll still need a web server and modphp or something, and that web server was still probably compiled, but of course with bigger projects you can often get them from your distribution's package manager.

A little project like mine isn't the right answer for everyone; right now its only user is me. How it solves the problem fits my own little brain : )
Right, ok. So you mean a handful of warps and not like a plethora of them for no reason.

The inaccuracy is a feature, not a bug. Police have always wanted the power to arrest who they want, when they want.

- There are certain flies, known as "time flies," who are pleased by an arrow.
What an incredible keen eye for the obvious you have. Since only one theory is correct, that means all theories are "almost certainly wrong". lol.
some people feel better when they think they're in control, despite the fact that the outcome could be even worse. The ability to have control gives the reassurance that the outcome is going to be acceptable (without evidence).
I think this is basically the same thing, just with the other steps included. On the right surface in first gear you don't need the brake, so just controlling the clutch is enough to move the car
You mostly benefit from some of what the colony has to offer, there is a difference.
How not to trigger site analytics from localhost

It does not seem like they are doing inference time weight changes, to the tune of running backprop. It sounds more like they are applying a pre-trained vector to the model, and select that vector based on the input, in a two step process

Terence Gilmartin did his best translating Proust, but he leaned on Scott Moncrieff who had gone before. The semicolon count in those pages is pretty high.

I am very fond of the (apocryphal?) "peccavi" telegram from 1843: after annexing the Indian province of Sind, British General Sir Charles Napier sent home the least costly, least wordy report he could.

There's also one Richard Rhodes uses, well two: Oppie had been banned from secret status and wanted to know the result of the H bomb tests so he asked if it was "girl or boy" -the sexist usage of the time made "girl" pretty obviously a fizzle. The guy charged with commissioning huge volumes of liquified duterium to make "mike" class bombs had to be told to stop when Lithium Duteride solid shells worked: "why by cows when you can get powdered milk"

> Probably the one time I actually earned my salary at work was when we were about to pay out the nose for more cloud servers with GPU to process video when I noticed the version of ffmpeg that came installed on the machines was compiled without GPU acceleration !

Issue with cloud CPU's is that they don't come with any of the consumer grade CPU built-in hardware video encoders so you'll have to go with the GPU machines that cost so much more. To be honest I haven't tried using HW accel in the cloud to have a proper price comparison, are you saying you did it and it was worth it?
