Qualcomm still sucks, but there’s not much Qualcomm in this.

Robotic pick and place board assembly means through-hole components are going the way of the dodo. Sorry.

Adafruit sells breakout boards for various SMT packages so that with a little solder reflow work you can adapt that shiny new chip to your breadboard. https://www.adafruit.com/category/475

No, it’s not just QWIC connectors.

It is just the time-honored maker tradition of finding a cool IC and building a dev board around it for the hobbyist. There’s a i2c multiplexer chip, an i2c buffer, and a nicer motor driver.

Article title is nonsensical.

for lack of frequency tuning

“Moving the goalposts” is a useless criticism. Do I need to pick now a single, definitive goalpost where the massive redirection of resources will have become worth it? Or can I just have a laugh at the dumb state of the present?

BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER!

Very interesting technology. Would be exciting to see a hardware startup build a product around this.

Where do you even start finding sources for all this?

Very cool product! And to think, in one of the many prior gaussian splatting threads someone declared there was no way anyone could build a business around the technique.

Present-day models tend to produce code that is too defensive, too complex, too local in its reasoning. They avoid strong invariants. They add fallbacks instead of making bad states impossible. They duplicate code, invent bad abstractions, and paper over unclear design with more machinery. Worse though: I so far see very little progress of this improving.

It’s almost as though these models were trained on a vast corpus of largely mediocre code. They will never outperform the median Github user - it is all they know, it is all they can do.

1. You might want to call up the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and let them know they aren’t designed to operate there. As well as the rest of the Navy that operates in similar waters in SE Asia and the Caribbean.

But seriously, why is it such an impossibility to get an iced coffee over there. You have affogato! You can take a caffe americano and pour it over ice!

Who’s pumping all this gaussian splatting content onto hn, and why?

Of course it’s Slav, and of course he’s Polish, but he draws from Slavic folklore.

Maybe the author, being Czech, wanted to look beyond the quintessential Slavic contribution to the genre. It’s the only explanation I can think of.

The idea that monsters can be understood, and spared because in the end they’re exhibiting human flaws, is such a powerful storytelling device.

Maybe just don’t worry yourself with anecdata.

Maybe your equation. Not theirs.

What’s Palantir’s angle on this?

If that’s what it take to draw attention to enshittification then, as the meme says, let them fight.

Public trials.

The DOD terms are RADHAZ and HERP (Hazards of EM Radiation to Personnel.) There is plenty of literature out there on what frequencies turn you into a microwave oven for cooking your insides, based on your length as a living antenna.

Out of curiosity, where do you shop instead? Around me the prices are better than any other stores except Aldi.

And let go of Costco regret.

Then why keep signing up? You clearly don’t need the bulk quantities, so why put up with that inconvenience?

To justify the subscription I made the commitment to buy all my necessities there that I could, and in return I get back the equivalent of a month’s worth of free groceries.

Open your car’s manual, or pop your hood and it’s likely written on the oil filler cap.

That’s insane. I just paid $800 for a much longer run, materials and labor.

That would have been in the 1980s.

If you’re curious to read actual explanations for these things, https://www.radartutorial.eu/

Really toxic security anti-pattern.

I’m locked out of my 20 year old wikipedia account because they instituted 2fa without asking and my email on file was no longer valid.

They crave access the authority and gravitas that they perceive as extending from the lengthy history of Western Europe, and they covet subservience to the divine rule of kings.

What they need is a culture of UX focus, and I don’t think it’s present in the hardware team either.

They’ve coasted too long on consistent visual identity, and even that’s been slipping. Time to focus on actual user needs.
