>we're going to be able to create systems that are far more complicated than anything we could make before

I think this is very true but I'm not excited about it!

I see commit hashes used all the time, like in yocto recipes for example

the appeal of the backblaze stats is that they provide data, not anecdotes

on the front page of HN multiple times every day? I think it sucks but it's here now

there's no secret, they're just expensive to manufacture

there is another solution that will be (and is) actually happening: diffusion of doctor responsibilities to other less regulated/trained workers

sucks but that's incentives for ya

you can buy a variety of pi models in the range of $50 to $15, so what?

we have had a home manufacturing revolution, though, and making every kind of hardware is crazy accessible, look at the explosion of niche products in every single hobby space over the past ten years

I miss absolutely nothing about etching my own single layer PCBs at home

real PCBs are so much better than anything you can do at home, and so cheap, and so easy to order now, it's just not worth it

I think this might allow doing more things with the disc drive on all(?) ps2 models like running copied/homebrew ps1 discs (currently requires a modchip afaik), or potentially developing replacement optical drives/hardware emulators

vrchat is just weird enough (and for, maybe, weird people) plus the new user experience/children yelling slurs situation makes it hard to even bring up to general audiences

I do think hardcore sims and vrchat are the only good reasons to get into vr now, though

AI has really revealed the programmers who were temporarily inconvenienced idea guys

I have a GPS based PTP server, the antenna is indoors 15 feet away from a south facing window, it locks on pretty well (though this will probably depend on the surrounding buildings)

if they sell 100 of these per year (which I doubt), with profit of $3000 per unit (which I also doubt), that pays enough to employ like one person (who needs to handle sales, support, marketing, three or four different kinds of engineering, etc.)

a decent comparison because they both seem like some type of responsibility laundering, and LLMs/PAs are being given continually increasing autonomy for economic reasons

the way you phrase this implies some sort of suppression of LLM interest, but anyone eligible to vote on these could have made their own. The absence of pro-LLM proposals shows nobody wanted one enough to send an email or two about it.

if you absolutely needed a huge multi color/material printer, sure, but a prusa i3 mkwhatever was entirely adequate for normal 3d printing out of the box

HN really upvotes some dumb medical articles, come on, n=20 about peppermint?

are there devices that are damaged by 5V?

what? there aren't any treatments that stop alzheimers, there are some that help manage symptoms

VR is probably the coolest new tech of the last decade to me, hanging out with friends and exploring weird spaces is so wild (sure there are lots of flaws and limitations but it's definitely exciting and new to me even as a jaded, increasingly luddite programmer)

there are still new things and fun tech, don't give up!

are you trying to use gpio for the pps? feeding the pps into the NIC clock is what gets you the great accuracy, doing it with gpio on the main processor will have much worse jitter

also companies try really hard not to keep huge stockpiles of parts as part of lean manufacturing

numerically, most companies are not in cutting edge rapid product cycle consumer gear like apple, they instead want to buy 1000/year of the same part for a decade (or maybe gradually better, compatible equivalents)

mozilla hosts an apt repository for firefox, I much prefer using the native package management

or there's a million confounding factors around people living in dense cities versus rural areas

it's sold in the US as a more or less unregulated supplement, so not surprising to me that the dosing is nonsense

it seems like every NIC on the market that can do 100Gb has support in its linux kernel driver, so probably not a big deal in practice

I think you would find learning to draw extremely rewarding

it seems kind of perverse to to generate an image of a scene (fundamentally not derived from how it actually looked) to remember how it looked; you even immediately point out a way that it's inaccurate ("They looked younger and in better shape but you get the picture.")
