I'd recommend starting with Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Isaac Chuang and Michael Nielsen ("Mike and Ike"). It's the text used in most intro courses.

There's an "Intro to Quantum Mechanics" section that covers what's strictly necessary to understand quantum algorithms.

nanopb is designed around streaming. It's limited in a few ways[1] but is designed for use on low-memory systems (microcontrollers) where the whole protobuf message won't necessarily fit into memory at once. Might not help for your use cases though, since it's a C library without a stable ABI.

The downside of this method (or upside, I guess, depending on where you stand), over the sniffer method, is that this is trivially bypassed. My race car, which is by no means emissions compliant, can pass this check with the press of a button.

I wonder how the mirrors are cleaned or kept clean. Maybe that isn’t an issue when detecting concentrations that would take a mile of light to measure, and existing NDIR detectors are sufficient for things like detecting different gasses in pollution.

It would be nice if there were general purpose gas measurement sensors that could identify more gasses rather than being specialized to a specific gas. Could this be done by replacing the circuitry of a typical evaluation board with an interface to something like an NVidia Jetson Orin Nano?

I can't think of the "why", but I never got to tinker with 7. I think I jumped from XP to 8. I remember I had installed "Longhorn" for fun on a secondary PC, but I stayed at 8 and 8.1 (with ClassicShell) for many many years. I only jumped to 10 when I realized that my 2015 laptop can live and thrive even today with Win10Pro due to their amazing RAM/CPU performance (with some heavy fine-tuning)(black viper!![0],[1] even if the pages no longer exist I still keep them on my favorites!!)

Aren't the photo frame companies able to issue firmware updates? Since the devices are internet-connected, it seems like they ought to be able to. According to the article, the new API "can... access... albums through the new Google Photos Picker API".

Or maybe they don't even need firmware updates, if it's all managed via the photo frame's website.

API's change, and if you make a product that uses an API, you need to be able to change with it.

If Google is somehow making it technically impossible for the photo frames to auto-update from an album, then that would be really annoying. But it doesn't sound like that?
In Virginia they do this! They have devices that they'll put near highway on/offramps and rotate them between locations every few weeks or so.

Optimizing CUDA kernels is complex and usually requires expert knowledge. I built a tool that automates this process by profiling your code on serverless GPUs (matched to your GPU architecture), identifying bottlenecks, and applying SOTA optimization techniques to achieve up to 20x faster performance, without any manual tuning.

DeepSeek’s R1 showed how optimizing kernels can cut costs while improving performance, and I wanted to take that further by making GPU optimization effortless.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Feedback is highly appreciated.

The thing is, most people who are writing python code are not in the business of writing python code. They're students, scientists, people with the word "business" or "analyst" in their title. They have bigger fish to fry than learning a different language ecosystem.

It took 30 years to get them to switch from excel to python. I think it's unrealistic to expect that they're going to switch from python any time soon. So for better or worse, these are problems that we have to solve.
Ask HN: Rough timelines to issue PIPs, and terminations
This isn't a problem I'm currently dealing with, but I've recently noticed that there doesn't seem to be strong mental models around this particular problem... so I'm curious:

What timelines do you use or recommend to put an individual on a personal improvement program? (allowed time for ramp up, timeline after letting them know about poor performance)

What timelines do you use for termination after or during a PIP?
Microsoft quantum computing 'breakthrough' faces fresh challenge
So, your argument (ignoring the appeal to authority) is:

1.Social rights can be reduced entirely to obligations on others.

Dubious. Ignoring that maybe the value to the person granted the social right could outweigh the obligation to others, or that the holistic effect on the system might be greater than its reduced parts.

2. Social rights need to be enforced by those with power.

3. Supporting and legitimizing social rights means supporting and legitimizing a specific source of power that will enforce them.

The jump from 2 to 3 is not entirely clear to me. I think it's a valid stance to be critical, and even unsupportive of any given source of power enforcing social rights, while being fully supportive of the right itself.

4. The ones who end up in positions of power are the most ruthless and power-hungry.

5. Those people being in positions of power is so bad that it outweighs any benefit from the original cause, 1 + 2.

Overall, I'd say the critical flaw of your argument is that it's too reductive and assumes that everything very neatly follows linear, simple paths of power.

In addition, I think you can replace the "social rights" in point 2 with any law, and you will have the same points 3, 4, and 5.

I don’t agree here. It is not a zero sum game, everyone can win with social rights.

We've seen several countries give up nuclear weapons & lose their sovereignty to countries with nukes later on. We haven't yet seen a country with nukes lose its sovereignty. Without reliable guarantees from multi-national alliances with nukes the individual countries will want nukes. It's reasonable to assume at this point that nuclear weapons are required to maintain sovereignty, so we should expect substantial nuclear proliferation.

I think social rights are great. I’m glad I don’t live in the 70s when I could be jailed for being gay. But I also feel like this is all bunk.

As soon as the government takes control of something it must be quantified and standardized. It immediately turns abstract goals like “increase opportunity for poor children” into easily tracked and digestible goals like increasing test scores or spending more money.

Let’s be honest, the reason that being gay legal today is not because the government enforced it. It’s because the opinion of the populace changed over time and the government had to capitulate. In the same way I feel like social change of other kinds cannot be top-down from the government. If they can barely be trusted to fill potholes why should I expect they would successfully foment complex social changes?
Between LLVM's optimization passes, static analysis, and modern LLM-powered tools, couldn't we build systems that not only identify but automatically fix these performance issues? GitHub Copilot already suggests code - why not have "Copilot Performance" that refactors inefficient patterns?

Ask HN: Small investors to use money for marketing at new startup?
I'll try to be short: I am working on a new P2P marketlpace for a niche. I think it has some future. It won't become a unicorn but it may become a nice startup / company (and it could grow, though, into other niches that share some characteristics).

Anyway, I started to building it with a friend, both of us are part of this community and we do think this would be really useful.

However, we do think we need to invest some money on marketing, before launching (to attract people to answer our surveys with their feedback), and after launching (if not the marketplace will be empty).

Are out there investors that invset money only to be used in marketing for new startups, in exchange of %? We don't want $ for salaries, or for other type of expenses (servers, etc). We just want it for marketing, because we are confident that if we reach the whole community, we can become a really important hub.

There are a lot of independent, apolitical think tanks. But Congress isn't compelled to listen to them.

Nor can I imagine what would happen if we did compel them. Do you see a Congressman going to their voters and saying "Hey, I know you send me to support tariffs, but it turns out that the non-partisan Tax Foundation figures that's going to cost over 230,000 jobs."

Well there was that small matter of Nietzsche being taken out of context by his sister that directly contributed to the “world remaking” aspects of totalitarian regimes of the 20th century.

Only if it's a private company whose management hates it and believes it serves no purpose. They are dismantling it, which is what you would do if you found yourself running a company you believed to be malignant.

Yes, the laws effectively require this.

Modifying modern cars for high performance impacts the emissions systems. In many cases the ECU modifications will actively defeat certain emission control measures to allow the higher power output without check engine lights, for example.

Showing a good faith effort that you've designed the emission compliance systems to be reliable and hard to defeat is part of the process.

There's a similar thing that happens with WiFi access points: You have to show that you've made an effort to prevent the end user from trivially modifying it for higher power output or other changes that would deviate from the way it was compliance tested.
It stays stationary because you're effectively tightening one bolt and loosening the other. Imagine the point of contact between the bolts is a line drawn on a stationary nut instead. Is that line moving clockwise or counterclockwise around the bolt? One way tightens, the other way loosens. And it's opposite for the two bolts.
Great comment.

The key here, in case people miss it, is to ensure the originals are downloaded to your Mac, if you're going to back up photos to Backblaze.

Otherwise, you'll just be backing up thumbnails and/or very low quality copies of your photos. If your internal storage isn't enough to hold all your images, you can move your photo library to an external volume.

Trump threatens Russia with sanctions, tariffs unless ceasefire with Ukraine

I think the difference lies in how you move from iteration to iteration.
As long as you have a goal for each iteration - to fix what you learnt the last time, or to change something to get a new data point on it - that sounds like allowing failure.
I would expect you to converge towards a working state, on a large scale.
If you are trying stuff without any hypothesis or deliberate plan, that sounds to me like the second.
Are you suggesting that EU is purposefully limiting the military aid to Ukraine, maybe to drag out the war? I hope that's not the case.

Well, US/UK did it once with USSR. They allowed SU control over Poland and east Germany.

According to iiss [1], Ukraine is "Equipped but not staffed" although they do mention "they will likely need significantly more weapons".
It is my understanding (I may be wrong) that their main shortage is artillery shells, which is mainly because EU can't actually produce enough, and have been ramping up.

It cuts both ways. It will probably make it ever harder for users to get a backup of their photos.

I tried to build a product to help people get a physical backup out of Google Photos but their API had so many rate limits and random other errors it would take _days_ or more: https://www.clonecamel.com

Per TFA, that's what's happening. "Instead, apps can only access photos or albums through the new Google Photos Picker API, which requires users to manually 'pick' each photo."
The picker API limits access to selected photos. It doesn’t look like there is an API for “all current and future photos from an album”, which is the problem (from integrators’ perspective)

The first cable Internet service I had was telephone return. Downstream was over the cable modem at ~512Kbps (IIRC) but upstream was over a dial-up modem.

It was cool having a fast downstream but the slow upstream over finicky dial-up was a pain in the ass. If the dial-up dropped the in progress downloads all died because no ACKs could be sent. Gaming was no better than plain dial-up since your upstream had the same shitty latency as plain dial-up.
