To me at first glance this seems very similar to the rust trait system, where you start with a simple non object structure that describes only the functions that an object requires.

Thanks, yea I meant store. Fixed.

Wow, I never really realized how good our current chemical battery technology is at being extremely dense.

I like the idea, but I am wondering how big these will need to be. If one of their prototype towers can store 20 MwH, at each one requires a circle 300 feet in diameter, than it will require a lot of land to do this.

I wonder how this compares to lithium on a power store per square foot metric.

Actually with this release threadripper 2 will support DDR4-2933 which should increase the memory bandwith and the throughput of the infinity fabric if I'm not mistaken (I am pretty sure infinity fabric runs at the ram speed)

I am continually impressed by OpenAI, whenever we think that something is too difficult for our currently understanding of AI. With their Dota AI and this they have shown that more can be done with a lot less than previously thought.

But if EA’s stock goes up it doesn’t mean that all of the sudden people are going to go out and buy graphics cards. Where with bitcoin, they actually do it.

But this is something you that they never really had to deal with before. Previously, graphics cards were not really correlated with any kind of market. And sales ramped up and down predictably. They had no reason to put money into being able to quickly ramp up production within a few weeks or a month. And now it’s no surprise that they can’t keep up with the fast paced crypto ups and downs.

What I don’t get about articles like this is how they just go on and on about how bad of an idea UBI is but don’t propose any kind of a solution.

It’s not like UBI was created just to have fun, there are legitimate problems facing our society and our current trajectory is that the problems are getting worse.

Maybe I am just missing some part of the article but what’s the point of saying something is bad without even talk about ways it could be implemented better or alternatives.

I agree, I particularly like this line:

In that pursuit, internet culture subconsciously turned itself into a calloused nub, a place where so many “jokes” are the equivalent of running and shouting “fire!” in a movie theater, and a place where the biggest joke of all is the idea of caring about anything in the first place

According to the thread, as of about 30 minutes ago the malicious version has been unpublished.

Despite this, it seems that a lot of high profile packages were vulnerable to an automatic minimum version bump. There have been quite a few close calls with non packages, and at some point I feel like it will actually do some damage.

I don't think commemorating is the right word, more like celebrating his death. Here is what she said:

Here is the tweet: https://twitter.com/delafina777/status/1000045432007938048?l...

Really really disgusting and distasteful thing to say.

Those two tweets are quoted by the article.

Thanks

Do you mind sharing what the app is called?

It seems that due to the extra text from https://itty.bitty.site each iteration increases the size of the next link. I wonder how the urls are generated and if this is a linear or exponential increase.

Given that it gets around 5 FPS on a V100 gpu I doubt it can run on a raspberry pi.

This seems to be the source of the recent news about openBSD disabling hyper-threading over security concerns. I am not sure about how bad this actually is but it seems like the conversation about modern CPU security vulnerabilities is not over.

I bet some RF absorbing material or something that reflects RF at weird angles would probably break it. Or an active RF transmitter.

It’s pretty amazing that they only trained it to create pose estimation from radio signals, and that its ability to see through walls is only a byproduct of them not blocking RF.

Given how much information is out there that we can’t sense I wonder if this area will be a main source of AI advancements. Another example of something like this is using videos of plants that vibrate slightly with sound waves to recreate the original sound.

This year I took a logic design course that had a few labs in VHDL with FPGAs which was a lot of fun. Thanks for the info, its good to know that I am on the right track.

I have heard a little bit about the process from a friend of mine who works in aerospace software engineering, and according to him like 90% of his job is design documents and other paperwork.

I am kinda surprised to hear that the pay isn't very good, but its good to hear that its changing. Is this mostly due to the older workforce retiring or are there other factors that are causing it?

I was wondering if you could give me some information about being a embedded software engineer and the skill set required for it. It is something that has always appealed to me as a job. I just finished freshman year of an ECE program (mainly the computer engineering aspect). I have been doing side projects in C for a few years and more recently have been doing a lot of rust. I plan on doing a minor in CS.

Do you think that continuing on this path will still leave open the opportunity for doing embedded software development? The idea of doing safety critical engineering in rust really appeals to me but I am also interested in things like computer architecture so I don't want to only do only a CS degree. Thanks for any information.

I am wondering what have you done previously that got you into neuromorphic computing. I am currently an undergraduate in computer engineering but the idea of neuromorphic computing is really interesting and I am curious what the academic path looks like.

As much as people like to hate on Apple and all the other stuff they do wrong, this is how its going to have to continue if we still want to be living on earth in 50 years. Companies like Apple have massive global influence, and if what they want is some free marketing and press in return for investing in renewables, that is a price I will gladly pay. Governments and companies are the only real force large enough to enact the kind of change that needs to happen, and if what they want in return is good press than that is fine by me.

Wow, compared to Waymo's 5600 miles per intervention Uber struggling to get to 13 miles per intervention is really a bad sign for them. If it turns out their cars really weren't ready to be on the road and possibly endangering humans, this might bring a lot of problems for the company and other self driving programs.

We can't really know, since we don't have something to compare it to. Only they know what the performance could have been if the fix were not implemented in silicon, and they won't be releasing new versions of old chips that ONLY have this hardware fix, so we will never be able to compare the two. Only they will ever know, however if we see comparable or worse performance (or just barely better) in these new chips then we can know that there was some performance hit.

Im prepping for Raspberry Pi X

I am currently about 5 episodes in and I am enjoying it so far. The 5th episode has kinda lost some of the excitement that the first 4 had, but I'm hoping it it picks up again.

I know that this series is based on a book, and I have been looking for more sci-fi books to read. Does anyone have any insight on how the TV series compares to the book and whether it is worth reading?

For those out of the loop, this is related to a previous post on hackernews of an amateur astronomers blog. He accidentally found signals from an unknown object that looked like NASA's IMAGE satellite, which had previously been lost in 2005.

This blog post ended up reaching a few people who were on the team that worked on the satellite, and lead to NASA investigating whether or not it is still up and running. And according to this post, it seems that NASA has been able to get telemetry data to confirm its the IMAGE satellite.

From what I remember, solar flares can cause reboots for the satellite, and some time in the past 10+ years it started working again. Its a pretty cool example of what amateur astronomy can do and pretty amazing that this long lost scientific instrument can be brought online again.

I agree, I only learned it recently but there are a few very motivated individuals that track satellites and share a lot of the information. I learned about it during the whole Zuma fiasco, from the SatTrackCam blog [0]. I would definitely recommend reading it if this sort of thing interests you, it awesome to see how these guys do the tracking and the sheer amount of information they infer. The Zuma ones are great, along with the ones about the ISS and the satellite got close to it.
