Also, pin the selection waterfall from your capacitor manufacturer to the wall - or at least bookmark it in your browser. Here's one from Kemet: [1]

Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/sMaXBpN.png

If you really need to be on the lowest column (highest capacitance) for a given voltage rating, you'll either pay for it in voltage derating, temperature performance, tolerance accuracy, package height, or just pay for it in literal cash.

You cannot go below the lowest column, they have not figured out how to build a 10uF/25V/X7R/0603 MLCC, that is just not a thing you can buy.

With a given dielectric, material properties science only go so far. You're leaving performance on the table if you select a given package size with less capacitance and a lower voltage rating than what's available. (Assuming decoupling, not analog stuff where you need exactly 438.6 pF for a particular resonant frequency or something). Each package size has basically a constant inductance, and usually, capacitor height isn't that critical - you don't want to be oversquare, but they don't sell many of those. Each manufacturer publishes a waterfall diagram, but all manufacturers are working with the same physics.

Conversely, if you've selected an X7R dielectric and an 0603 package for a decoupling capacitor, there's not a great reason to go with a 0.1uF value, or to restrict yourself to 6.3V rating - eg [2]. They make a 0.47 uF 25V capacitor that's otherwise identical! [3] And because designers are lazy and default to 100nF, the part with 1/5th the performance is literally 6% more expensive!

Note that for 0402 packages, the 100nF capacitor is typically the right part to select! You can't get a 120nF/X7R/0402 at any voltage rating above 6.3V, the 220nF and 470nF are exotic parts that sacrifice stability and accuracy for maximum capacitance in a volume, but a 100nF/16V/X7R/0402 is a pretty good default.

It is a rehashing of the same stalled philosophical debates that are already tired. They didn't present any scientific evidence for biological necessity for intelligence, nor did they assert their religious authority. It is completely pointless.

>>It's not intended to provide a family with a living wage;

Maybe not family but definitely the individual, FDR on minimum wage:

Ultimately, he hoped to mandate that all workers would be paid "living wages" as described in his 1933 speech on the National Industrial Recovery Act, "It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By 'business' I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white-collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages, I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living."

One of the many reasons to buy a brother monochrome laser printer. I mean the convenience about not needing yellow, not necessarily extra privacy - that is still uncertain.

> Other methods of identification are not as easily recognizable as yellow dots. For example, a modulation of laser intensity and a variation of shades of grey in texts are feasible. As of 2006, it was unknown whether manufacturers were also using these techniques.

Because it feeds conspiracy theories and because there's no evidence for it? Also, let's talk DeepSeek in particular, not "China".

Looking back on the article, it is indeed using "distillation" as a special/"term of art" but not using it correctly. IE, it's not actually speculating that DeepSeek obtained OpenAI's weights and distilled them down but rather that it used OpenAI's answers/output as a starting point (which there is a different method/"term of art").
Yes exactly - this was something I wanted to achieve.

For example, you could have an entire orchestra with each instrument close miked - and then arranged in audiocube in a vritual concert hall.

The user could even move around the space for full placement control - or you could simply render it to a binauralized stereo file for more immersive listening on headphones.

I'd like to develop a mobile "listening" app, which isn't for making projects, but listening to them and placing you in the virtual environment with control

I've not owned a car since, I think, 2016. And even then, only had it because my partner had left the country and wanted me to sell it on their behalf.

If you really want to do without a car, you can.

I can do without Twitter and similar. I'm only on FB for the friends who don't go elsewhere. LinkedIn for employment opportunities (and these days the games).

Thermal pads are wonderful. Most of the time for moderate thermal loads, an exposed pad soldered to an internal ground plane running through the whole board is enough, as the copper layer there spreads out the heat well enough to dissipate. It always amazes me that an outer-layer copper fill is not much better than an inner-layer one, so the larger coverage of the inner layer wins every time.

I've found dmypy very underbaked. It's very easy to get it to regularly crash or pin a CPU indefinitely in my codebase.
On the first point I agree - it is possible that I overreacted to Tim Cook partially paying for and attending the inauguration. Perhaps he is doing everything he can behind the scenes to help the people that the new administration are hurting. But we don’t know that.

Your second point misses the gravity of what is happening in America right now. Perhaps intentionally on your part? The new administration are laying the groundwork for severe human rights abuse. History has proven that establishing camps on this scale never ends well.

Your third point (that HNers would be aware of the alternatives) is exactly why I asked the question here. In the hope that somebody can fill me in on alternatives that meet the criteria in my original post…

It's funny to see this now because I've been for a couple weeks looking into audio spacialization. After a lot of research and even trying to write my own spatializer plugin, I found that Game Engines have probably the most complete toolset to do this task. (Specifically I'm using Godot with https://valvesoftware.github.io/steam-audio/).

Steam audio is pretty awesome in that regards because it supports HRTF and all the physical based goodies like occlusion/reflection and sound propagation. So you can get really really immersive spatial audio.

The only downside with this solution is that you can't do offline rendering. So my question is:

can Audiocube do offline rendering? seems like it would be one killer feature for my use case.
> I think they really do want to hollow out the federal government, and we should expect things like planes falling out of the sky as part of that.

I am no fan of Trump but it is possible that 1) The Federal government has grown far too large and is bloated in many areas. And 2) The size of the Federal government can be reduced while maintaining safety and essential services.

I don't know if the current administration is doing or even can do that but it's hard to deny there is a very real problem or that the problem is, at least in concept, solvable.

That said, I highly doubt this tragic accident was caused by or related to the change of administration last week. It could just as easily have happened two weeks ago under the prior administration. It's unfortunate that it seems to have become politically polarized (by partisans on both sides) even before the flames had been extinguished.

Historically you pretty much have to wait for the institutions to over extend itself before an opportunity arises for means reversion. Fascism can never be satisfied with the status quo- it must take actions for actions sake. The enemy is always inferior yet all encompassing. Fascists will always lose in a war of equals because the longer they stay in power the further they stray from reality.

The other idea is that it may be caused by a common error like genetic disease.

I think that would be a reasonable take if the people implementing this plan (Musk, Thiel, Vance) weren't literally citing Curtis "a government is just a corporation that owns a country" Yarvin as a thought leader.

Although you are right they're trying to do what Musk did with Twitter, but the thing is that didn't go very smoothly, and he thinks it went great. At Twitter it meant downtime and also making users feel unsafe. At the federal level, regardless of the motivation (reigning in spending or a neo-feudal takeover), it will mean planes falling out of the sky, an increase in fraud and scams, civil rights violations, and so forth.

I did look, of course. High minimum wages, serious social support for unemployed or unemployable, high taxes, generally a more collectivist mindset among citizens than what we have in the US.

Additionally, the US has a very backwards system of social support, which cuts off benefits abruptly, so earning slightly more makes you suddenly quite worse off, instead of weaning you off the support smoothly as your income grows. It's literally a trap. Raising the minimum wage may trigger this for some, too, so staying at the same job at a higher hourly rate results in a lower total income than being unemployed and living entirely off benefits.

This system should be fixed first.
When you have 1000 people yelling their own version of truth, the only truth, chance of one of them being actually right is next to zero. Religious folks don't like this type of reasoning, often better without any reasoning at all.

I think folks should have stopped with Zoroastrianism, all the monotheistic rest is just layer of sects upon sects upon sects, all coming from roughly same geographical area and all preaching basically the same copy paste with some tiny differences then blown out of proportions by fanatic zealots, completely misunderstanding or ignoring the same basic message within.

Look at discussion here - many folks have their own version of reality re this topic, normally set up how they like it, sometimes not that much compatible with each other. A question - do you feel like this reality, universe and all we anyhow experience, is somehow conforming to our wishful expectations and arranges itself to match that so the expectations get confirmed? I call this semi-rational discussion - smart folks politely discussing utter irrational bollocks. I get where the need for spiritual comes from - we are still roughly the same as those early tribes that believed in long lost religions. I just didn't get that hole filled via traditional indoctrination by others, a wonderful gift to a child and maybe the best - a self-determination with respect for his choices. Cousin had the same upbringing, ended up as protestant priest and now has a nice family with 3 kids. Self-determination.

But religion is literal opium for the masses. And opium is highly addictive, especially when served since very early childhood continuously. I see it my wife, she tried to shed it, and failed, its burned too deep into personality. She settled somewhere in the middle compared to rather fanatical upbringing.

I was in 6th grade. It was a shitty day all around -- there was a metrorail accident under the river. I was on a school bus for 4 hours while getting home in the snow. The plane hit a bridge and went into the river.

Think of what you know about DC traffic when there's a flake of snow in the air, and put an airliner crash and a metro accident on top of that.

Maybe it's not logical, but I'm still not a fan of flying through National in the winter.
What is missing in the context here is that the cards mentioned in this article are not actually real. They never existed, and therefore they are not "counterfeits" of a real one, they are just made up. Someone just claimed to know someone that had playtest cards from back in the day. They are not a commercial product.

> This system should be fixed first.

Hard if every proposed fix is met with "this would make even more small businesses unviable, and even more people unemployed" objections.
The number of people actually employed at minimum wage is quite small (usually low single digit percentage of total employment), though it does vary by location. If you add in some amount over minimum wage the number goes up (significantly), but if you add in tips and the like it goes down a lot. From what I've seen, the median amount of time people spend in that salary range is less than six months (of continuous employment).

The people in federal workers unions aren't in elected positions, no country or government anywhere has voters weigh in on every clerk, office manager, etc.... They're just jobs, no one votes for them beyond in some cases voting for the head of their agencies but more often by voting for the people that will select the agency heads.
Single source of truth is different in distributed systems, well the costs are different.

Using the language of 'software architecture: thee hard parts' this forces your entire system into a single 'architectural quanta', basically it is a monolith.

There are situations where monoliths are acceptable or even the least worst option.

The 'Fallacies of distributed computing' covers most of these.

It can work better if you use a hierarchical model, but OLTP is almost exclusively the relational model.

ACID transactions become pretty brittle, software becomes set in stone etc...

It looks like CGC - one of the big card graders - has touted their ability to grade some very early Pokemon The Card Game playing cards (even alpha test cards printed in very low numbers). Here is their grading scale on their site https://www.cgccards.com/news/article/13347/

People have purchased these CGC cards on ebay assuming they were legit based on the above certifications. It looks like total cards is something like 6 test decks of 26 cards of the alpha prototype - so the rarest example is fairly small, but I think it goes up as they got to later pre-release versions. Furthermore, there are some cards that were signed by Akabane (a co-creator of the game) and those have the presence of the yellow dots - meaning those are most likely not legit pre-production cards. One of those signed cards was sold for $200k I believe - https://www.cgccards.uk/news/article/13661/

So total financial impact of this directly in low millions?
