My interest is piqued, it could be a killer tool... but I'm still not sure what the status of this project is, even after spending 15 minutes perusing documentation etc. Can I really use it in anger? Is there a tutorial that explains how the current (not 'classic') stuff works? Is there an example of a non-trivial web-app built in Darklang in the real-world, ideally with source available? Or is it all too early-days for that stuff?
We've found asking for something specific in the advert - whether a covering letter, or mention of their suitability for a specific aspect of the job or... makes it easier to filter the spam.

I love the way OneNote handles images - and the ability to include ink annotations. I wish there was a FOSS equivalent on Linux with a similar UI experience (Obsidian image handling is incredibly clunky), although the improved availability of various exporters from OneNote makes me less leery about committing to a proprietary database format and the risks associated with potential dataloss from a random bug or database corruption.
Check out tindie - there is a solder party blackberry keyboard with a track pad. No display. If the display is important to you, then look at the TTGO-deck - a larger device but it has both keyboard & pointer.
The problem I have with the blackberry keyboards is the omission of commonly used linux symbols such as tilde - how do you cope with that? Or perhaps I am missing a trick? I've resorted to salvaging Psion 5 keyboards and rolling my own hardware as the result.
Honestly, this isn't the case - at least in my experience - every product I've bought from them has come with a pinout diagram that is also duplicated on github. Sure, getting the hardware up and running is challenging, and sometimes the examples are a bit arcane or have weird omissions in terms of illustrating the device's capabilities, but it's a booster pack compared to designing and programming similar embedded hardware from scratch.
Would step-wise instruction help with the look ahead issue. Something like:
1. Here are 16 words. Find 4 that have something in common, and list the remaining 12 words.
2. Take the remaining 12 words from the previous answer and find 4 words that have something in common, and list the remaining 8 words.
etc. etc.
Alerted by a friend who noticed his profile had changed, I checked mine. Going from having no French ancestry when first processed 5 years or so ago, I now have 12% French ancestry. That's a huge deal for me, because one of my parents was adopted. Hugely unimpressed at the lack of transparency (pro-active notification anyone?) and the overall accuracy - I don't trust these results anymore than the original, but the original did cause genuine distress.
If you have a NAS that is idle most of the time, and want to minimise power consumption, how about an embedded-cpu based WoL generator? Sniff packets destined for the fileserver, which is otherwise in deep sleep, and automagically wake it up when relevant traffic is detected, with the relevant WoL packet. You'd get say <300mA consumption at 3v3, and full performance on wake. It would be transparent to the machines attempting to access the server. If idle power measurement is your criteria, this might be a way forwards?
The transcription/subtitles have punctuation, so I think looking for full stops ("periods") would provide a similar to result to audio analysis. PS. The technical search term for the audio process you have described is VAD.
Theoretically it could work for someone living on the border I think, but the funding process is discretionary and I guess that might increase the likelihood of NHS Wales refusing the application.
At the risk of oversharing too much personal information, similar stuff happens in the UK. I have a hereditary condition that can be treated with a specific drug (quality of life changing impact). My sister shares the same condition. She has access to the drug because she lives in Wales, UK which has degree of autonomy from England, UK's health service. I don't have access to the same drug, with the same condition because I live in England. The drug concerned is also incredibly cheap to manufacture, and is widely available elsewhere, but big pharma has chosen to place a ridiculous premium on it despite the fact it's long paid back the R&D costs. It is scandalous, and it needs government policy-level intervention. There are MANY similar examples of this kind of market abuse.
PS. I'm not looking for suggestions to resolve this issue - I'm confident every avenue has been exhausted and am resigned to the situation. I make this post this to explain how abusive some market operators are, and how arbitrary access to medication can be even in fully developed nations.
It's the early 90's. A large regional Theatre wants to migrate their billing and customer contact data - all of which is held on an ancient computer the size of a desk to a shiny 286 based PC. Only the proprietary database management application frontend was available; there was no documentation, no programming tools or anything similar, the equipment was just too old (and the internet was still in its infancy, it'd be much easier today). My solution was to knock up a script on a PC that emulated the serial printer that was connected to the ancient system, wire a custom cable between them and then tell the database to run a full report. Took a day or two to run as I recall, and job's a goodun.
Posted in another thread, but sadly I got no replies...
Related question: how can I learn how to read the mathematical notation used in AI/ML papers? Is there a definitive work that describes the basics? I am a post-grad Engineer, so I know the fundamentals, but I'm really struggling with a lot of the Arxiv papers. Any pointers hugely appreciated.

I watched the video, I think this is quite an exciting combination of existing technologies - from my PoV/experience it's a combination of: parallelism, message bus and microservices. I know the implementation is an MVP, and hideously inefficient, but the concept is very cool and having experimented a lot with existing AI framework, I think this is a step forwards. Congrats!
Algorithmic trading. Especially in markets that offer leverage. It plays to SWE software strengths, the likelihood of having capital reserves, and is also great fun!
In the UK, it's not possible for Ordnance Survey to remove bridleways (horse tracks) from maps for legal reasons. Unfortunately, this means that some are no dangerous for passage despite being explicitly marked on the map. One example: mountain rescue involved in recovery of horses neck-deep in bog/marsh on Dartmoor.
Am I an idiot? Re-working language definitions and compilers is _hard_. Instead, why not accept there are flaws and try to catch/fix them? I can see two obvious paths (I'm sure there are more) to address (N.P.I) these issues - top down: AI based code review. Wouldn't that catch 80%+ of common errors? Bottom up: Aggressive hardware fencing of memory access, much finer grained than pages? What am I missing?
Apropos nothing: I HATE endnotes (aka footnotes). If you have something to say, don't break the flow. If you want to add a comment, use parenthesis. If you're not writing a scholarly article, don't use footnotes. They're an indulgence that detracts.
Another interesting strategy is to use RAM as programmable logic. It's faster, which can be beneficial in some situations, and is obviously easy to change on the fly. The catch is that you'll need a mechanism to bootstrap it - which can be as simple as copying the contents of an EPROM using a counter on startup/reset.
