> There are two cases where I would recommend caution:

> 1. If you have a lot of devices powered off a single rail, placing lots of high-value decoupling capacitors will add up, so pay attention to inrush current. If you’re sticking 10uF decoupling caps on 20 devices then that’s 200uF. Maybe dial it back a smidge.

The conclusion of the article specifically mentions inrush concerns as one of the reasons to use large values. For the notch itself, relying on the difference between 0.05 Ohm and 0.02 Ohm decoupling is gonna make for a bad time, especially given how much that notch will move across DC bias and temperature.
Assuming you mean digital circuitry (99% of what's built today), I second the Adafruit recommendation. Sparkfun has good stuff but their focus is more on experimenters whereas Adafruit focuses on education. Their tutorials are very well done, and their hardware is much better "polished" than Sparkfun.

I point out to people that it's clear that Adafruit is noticeably more expensive than the cheap stuff on amazon, but the fact that you can buy something from them, follow the tutorial on it and basically expect everything to work right off the bat makes the cost worth it. Even as a professional embedded developer, I go straight to them when I need to build a prototype and don't want to waste time faffing around.

I watch a lot of pilots on Youtube. Most of them use some kind of audio splitter to record sound. You hear what the pilot hears. But minus the plane noise, vibrations, etc (unless that's mixed in via some open microphone). So, it's actually better.

So, it really is that bad. Especially when flying low, on the edge of the range of the radios, etc. VHF radio is ancient technology. It's not great even under ideal conditions.

If your phone calls sounded that bad, you'd want to upgrade your phone or switch operator. Really not acceptable for consumer grade communication. Not even close. This is how phones sounded half a century ago. "can you hear me .... are you there ..... can you talk louder ....". My grand mother never really unlearned 1930s phone etiquette. Phone calls with her were short (cause expensive) and she'd be shouting at you because that's what you did. Be brief, loud, hang up as soon as possible. That's what pilots still do. My grand mother was born during WW I (not II) and she's been dead for nearly 20 years.

The aviation world is very conservative with new/better/any technology. They stick with "what works". Even if arguably it barely works. Like pretty much the vast majority of radio exchanges between pilots and controllers over VHF radio. Learning how to talk on the radio is the second hardest part of getting an instrument rating. The only thing that's harder is flying a plane with zero visibility ... while suffering extreme information overload because of the constant radio chatter and dealing with confused/stressed/pissed off controllers who have to juggle you and 20 other planes.

A lot of radio exchanges are routine exchanges that involve very basic information: call signs, transponder codes, codes for approaches/departures, courses, altimeter settings, altitudes, weather information, etc. And then a lot of double checking the other side heard correctly, repeating back what you heard, etc. Radio communication compensates for the lack of a more robust/sane way of exchanging information. There literally is no way for a controller to send you information in written format. Other than using their private phones. So, it all gets spelled out over low quality VHF radio.

There's no good technical reason to not do something vastly more reliable, less intrusive, and less error prone. Some might say safer. Many planes have star link connections these days. The passengers get better connectivity than the pilot. They could be having video calls with the controller with crystal clear audio from anywhere on this planet instead of yelling to them over VHF only when they are in range. They could be sending each other emails, documents, digital maps, and lots of other machine readable information, etc. Not a thing.

It's more a challenge of agreeing on what such a vastly better thing would be and then updating each and every plane and tower, airport, controller world wide with equipment that supports that. Add design by committee to the mix and the "state of the art" is something that would make any competent engineer born after 1970 blush.

I would start by arguing that not every website needs to deal with dates and times on the client side. And furthermore, if a website only needs to deal with dates but not times (surprisingly common) it can be done in a few KB of JavaScript—the Gregorian calendar is easy compared to the mess of ever-changing time zones and leap seconds.

I agree with most of it, but saying that holism doesn't exist is weird.

Also, humans have definitely created things that are better, at least in some aspects, than humans.

Cars are faster than humans.

Even AI-specific, AI chess engines are a lot stronger than any human alive, even then all humans combined.

Ask HN: Transitioning from Web Development to AI–Where to Start?
I've been a web developer my whole life and currently work in a support role at a FAANG-like company. I want to move into AI but don’t know where to start or which specialization to focus on.

One thing I’m sure of: I don’t want to develop my own models but rather use existing ones effectively. Given my family responsibilities and where I am in life, I can’t afford to take a deep dive into advanced math.

How can I leverage my web dev and system design experience to transition into AI? What paths should I explore that don’t require heavy theoretical math but still let me work with AI meaningfully? Any practical wisdom or real-world advice would be greatly appreciated!

Here is some JD I copied from one of the job postings. Hoping to build a similar knowledge base :

Experience with model fine-tuning and/or implementing RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems in production
Experience with LLM frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar orchestration tools
Familiarity with different LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and their APIs
Familiarity with the use of Open LLMs, either self-hosted or on through a third party provider, e.g. Amazon Bedrock
Knowledge of LLM output validation and safety measures
Experience with embeddings and semantic search implementations

I think this is falling for the same illusion as generative art, since programming has a huge creative component. Useful code tends to solve unique problems, otherwise you can copy/paste or import a library, just as interesting art is relatively unique and has its own identity. Generated art tends to have an average feel to it, despite its immaculate rendering. When you push stable diffusion to produce creative works, it struggles, just like when you prompt for code it will output generic solutions, if not broken code.

Agentic flows might have better outputs but there's a creativity component that seems intracktable at the moment, which is necessary to produce actual useful code. Absent this creativity component, it might serve as a good prototype tool for non-technical people, or a better autocomplete as another IDE tool.
Yes it can do all of those things.

You are right about the audio demos, I'll update the frontpage with this soon. Thanks!

You seem to be interpreting "most of humanity" as "most of recorded history", resulting in error. Recorded history is a tiny fraction of "most of humanity".

There's no shortage of scientific research on this topic, and it's in broad agreement that for most of our history we lived relatively egalitarian lives compared to the modern era.

> capitalism, the source of all of our problems

Right now? Pretty much. It's literally the source of most of our biggest problems: Climate catastrophe, AI doom, mass pollution, the anthropocene extinction, historic wealth inequality (!), massive political corruption (!), resource depletion, media manipulation, etc etc.

In other words, it changed things.

> By all means we were all living happy, egalitarian existences in the past. Certainly no recorded histories of monarchs or warlords, no records of inequity.

Again, there's plenty of research on this, if you care to look at the original argument and not your strawman version.

Btw, during all the monarchs and warlords, was wealth inequality ever as high as right now? (Spoiler alert: it was not).

Also, capitalism didn't originate "in the early 19th century". You might be thinking of the industrial revolution, which is when it globally coalesced.

> are you a complete idiot?

Often. Glad we agree on the need to rein in our oligarchs though, that's the main thing. Try to be a little more polite; we don't talk like that here.
I've been thinking about how this happens with human cognitive development. There's a constant reinforcement mechanism that simply compares one's predicted reality with actual reality. The machines lack an authoritative reality.

If we had to grade truthiness of data sources - our sight or other main senses would probably be #1. Some gossip we heard from a 6 year old is near the bottom.

We know how to grade these data sources based on longitudinal experience and they are graded on multiple axes. For instance Angela is wrong about most facts but always right about matters of the heart.

You see a rowboat, and you need to cross the river.

Ask a dozen experts to decide what that boat needs to fit your need.

That is the specification problem, add on the frame problem and it becomes intractable.

Add in domain specific terms and conflicts and it becomes even more difficult.

Any nontrivial semantic properties, those without a clear T/F are undecidable.

OpenAI with have to do what they can, but it is not trivial or solvable.

It doesn't matter how smart they are, generalized solutions are hard.
I have a home theater which is 5.1 which is great for movies [1] and some music [2]. There are 'virtual surround' systems based on [3] of which Airpods are the most famous. Most of those don't work for me except in the sense that I learn 'sounds like I have a cold' means 'the sound is supposed to be above me'. The exception is my Hololens where if I use the web browser to play music and turn around it really sounds like the music is coming from behind me. I have yet to be impressed by spatial audio on my Meta Quest 3.

Programmers don't fully control what they work on when employed by an entity seeking profits.

Programmers _do_ have control in the world of open source. Unfortunately efforts are spread out thinly[0] enough to prevent many ideas from reaching the tipping point to being better than a profit driven entity's solution.

Imagine what would be possible in OSS if all work in a similar domain was concentrated.

The identity issue is not an evidence at all. It is the easiest thing to clean from data, if you are actually distilling GPT-4, that would be the first thing you do to remove those data samples.

It is predicting next token, are we really taking its words and think the model knows what it is saying?

Calm down. I've been building medical device software for close to two decades and the level of engineering in this device is at least what I see on multi-million dollar projects that are going for FDA approval.

Medical Design process basically exists (oversimplifying of course) because the engineers are not the users. It's entirely possible for one person to build something that far exceeds the quality and performance of an off the shelf device simply because they care to do a good job and have constant feedback on how it works.

There's a lot to be said for scratching your own itch!
From my experience after moving here, the Dutch have three types of restaurants.

1. Cheap snack food hole in the walls that sometimes sell pizza too. Döner/kebab/fries etc. These are family owned and operated and generally just hanging on by a thread financially and it shows.

2. Slightly upscale bistros that are only open for lunch-5pm or dinner-10pm. The prices are such that they can support wait staff and skilled cooks but fall short of fine dining. Popular with middle class folks for a date night. Expect nicer serviceware and to spend €100 for two people after 1 drink each and dessert.

3. Fine dining with all the bells and whistles.

As a tourist, you often get lured into #2. If you’re coming from the US, it can seem quite fancy when you compare it to chains like Chilis and Olive Garden but the trends become very easy to spot after you see it enough times.

But what’s nice about #2 is that the staff do actually somewhat give a shit about their jobs and make an effort to provide an atmosphere that is inviting (gezelligheid). This also extends to the food which is artfully plated, even if the ingredients aren’t anything special.

Enjoy your trip!

I'm still not where I want to be i.r.t. math, but building a game in Unity, and another in Bevy, has helped me hit hard problems that have to be solved using math I don't know, which helps push me to learn. ime, 3D games require more advanced math, but could just be that I haven't done 2D enough. As far as teaching material, Khan Academy is great.

>Deficit spending is merely one form of monetary creation. The bigger one is cheap loans from the Federal Reserve to banks, which is responsible for the ongoing housing, stock, and other asset bubbles.

Yes you are technically right, the Federal Reserve (a part of the government) issues credit and puts money into the economy.

>The Fed's technocratic mandate declares that price inflation must happen regardless. Myopically focusing on "deficit spending" merely hamstrings the Legislative/Executive's ability to spend money for directed deliberate purposes, leaving more for the Reserve to hand out to the financial industry and existing asset holders.

You're putting a spin on it that I can't stand. Are there other modes of money creation? Yes, and all tie back to the government itself. The government is the primary beneficiary of money creation because it has the largest debt and it creates the money, and forces everyone to accept it at gunpoint.
I believe the HRTF binauralization of object-based audio does qualify as spatial audio, but there are many different definitions floating around. AudioGL is cool though!
Because memory bandwidth is the #1 bottleneck for inference, even more than capacity.

What good is 1TB RAM if the bandwidth is fed through a straw? Models would run very slow.

You can see this effect on 128GB MacBook Pros. Yes, the model will fit but it’s slow. 500GB/s of memory bandwidth feeds 128GB RAM at a maximum rate of 3.9x per second. This means if your model is 128GB large, your max tokens/s is 3.9. In the real world, it’s more like 2-3 tokens/s after overhead and compute. That’s too slow to use comfortably.

You’re probably wondering why not increase memory bandwidth too. Well, you need faster memory chips such as HBM and/or more memory channels. These changes will result in drastically more power consumption and bigger memory controllers. Great, you’ll pay for those. Now you’re bottlenecked by compute. Just add more compute? Ok, you just recreated the Nvidia H100 GPU. That’ll be $20k please.

Some people have tried to use AMD Epyc CPUs with 8 channel memory for inference but those are also painfully slow in most cases.
DCA is much nicer in pretty much all respects other than having a fairly restricted set of routes. When the routes are available, I’ll pick DCA every time. It’s a gem, and I’m glad that Congress’ selfishness overrode their terrorism paranoia on this one.

> Considering that the head of the FAA and TSA were forced to resign

For context, the heads of the FAA and TSA are supposed to serve 5-year terms. The FAA Admin (Michael Whitaker) who was forced out started serving in Oct 2023. The TSA Admin (David Pekoske) was first appointed in 2017, and then nominated for another 5-year term in 2022.

As far as I'm aware, this is the first time those positions have ever been told to resign by a new administration.
It doesn’t automatically solve every possible problem for you just like something like Lean doesn’t prevent you from writing buggy proofs. I’d argue it does lead to a first-class multi-threading experience within the systems programming domain it’s targeting. Even outside systems programming it can be quite surprisingly good and most incorrect code fails to compile to begin with. Is there a language that in your opinion offers a better multi-threading experience?

> There exists the possibility we have technology and feudalism

There exists the possibility of many things. The Pope made an appeal to empiricism. In our timeline, industrialisation brought forth a burst in democracy and the downfall of feudalism.
I think that science fiction plays an important role in discourse. Science fiction authors dedicate years deeply contemplating potential future consequences of technology, and packaging such into compelling stories. This gives us a shorthand for talking about positive outcomes we want to see, and negative outcomes that we want to avoid. People who argue against scifi with a dismissal that "it's just fiction" aren't participating in good faith.

On the other hand, it's important not to pay too close attention to the details of scifi. I find myself writing a novel, and I'm definitely making decisions in support of a narrative arc. Having written the comment above... that planetary factory may very well become the third faction I need for a proper space opera. I'll have to avoid that PKD story for the moment, I don't want the influence.

Though to be clear, in this case, that potentiality arose from an examination of technological progress already underway. For example, I'd be very surprised if people aren't already training LLMs on troves of viruses, metasploit, etc. today.
I don’t think Cigarette smoking became unpopular without heavy regulation. In countries that don’t have such restrictions, smoking is still ubiquitous.
