People are still using Arduino boards with USB-A mini B ports. At least for micro USB you can easily find cables everywhere. Hardware world is kind of slow in that regard. You can always go for ESP32 if you want though. Cheap and USB-C.

> there are over a hundred of them across every continent except Antarctica, and several of them ship worldwide, so there’s almost certainly one serving your region.

They forgot to mention 99% of them are out of stock.

Even if you want the GPIO the RPI Zero or Pico are much better options. If you want fast computation on top of that simply buy any other computer and send signals to the Zero or Pico for the GPIO pins.

What is wrong with having options? Even the ESP32 family already have C line for low power applications. No need to project Electron into everything.

I am waiting for the cure to cancer. Multiple AI CEOs have already said it is just the first step for AI anyway. Should be pretty easy.

I don't know how the general public can't see that AI companies are fueling this moral panic to attract more and more VC money to make their companies even more ridiculously valued. Every one of their public announcement is designed to create FOMO for investors.

It is actually more difficult because superpowers are not willing to spend unlimited money just to get ahead (like during Cold War). You can brute force a lot of technical problems by just using money (for example just one big expensive engine like Apollo 11). Nowadays nobody is willing to spend that kind of money for just one mission.

Both lead and lead free solder use the same chemical flux in their core. So you have the same problem with leaded flux cored solder. With the additional problem of lead.

Of course syntax matters in any programming language. That is like saying the alphabet and grammar does not really matter in English.

Because all these things require a grid, unlike on-site generators. Most grid equipment (specially high voltage transformers) are backordered and all companies have empty inventories. Unlike traditional companies these AI companies are deathly afraid of not getting to AGI first, so they can't wait.

This is a static website running on Cloudflare infra. What on earth costs $90 per month? First optimize your infra before throwing up rules in front of your visitors. I have several websites on Cloudflare too and I don't even check how many million requests I get. Because it does not cost me anything.

> And yes, my site gets its data by scraping those public documents. So I'm a scraper writing a blog post complaining about scrapers. I'm aware of how that sounds.

Being self aware does not make it okey. Either you are okey with scraping (like me) or against it. Don't use it yourself and block your site at the same time.

These same people will be crying about how Cloudflare ruins the internet because they get these captchas.

> My hypothesis is quite simple: I don't think GingerBill ever cared about Wikipedia's standards for programming. He follows several right-wing figures on Twitter, who have long since made up their mind that Wikipedia has been ideologically captured by activists and "the woke".

What a sh*tshow. When I look up a programming language on Wikipedia I am trying to learn about the programming language only. What does the political views of the creator of the language has to do with this at all?

> You don't lose half a million people from an ethnic group in just ten years without some kind of war or genocide.

Nothing happened to the people, they are growing year on year. But languages can die very easily if governments don't put efforts on teaching it to children. That is exactly what happened to the Ho language. There is no advantage on learning these small regional languages so children put their effort on more popular languages like Hindi, Odia and English.

Here is a good article on this topic:

But AAPL has a big weight on the market/indices.

Apple stock is down more than 4% right now. That is a big dump for such a blue chip stock. IDK if it is due to this EU ban or Apple choice of going with Gemini (instead of making their own models).

Is there any proposed timeline for a stable release? Big features like the recent async IO shows the language is very unstable right now.

> Is 1.1 Tflop/s good? Theoretically, the GPU on my M3 Max is capable of around 15 Tflop/s. But the real ceiling for this kind of task is going to be 3-5 Tflop/s

This is so true. And also why people should not take basic GPU benchmarks so seriously. Getting peak performance out of a GPU is much more complex than it is with a CPU.

And it is one of the reasons why Nvidia still has a software moat compared to other GPU companies. CUDA has so many small kernels tuned for getting peak performance for your dataset.

It is an inherent limitation. Multithreading is not free after all. One of the big pros of async programming is the concurrency you get within a single thread. When you make the async runtime multithreaded by default (like Tokio) you don't get this advantage anymore.

Async in Rust and C++ is nothing like it is in Python or NodeJS. Choose your own runtime is a very different model than having a default one.

Not to mention Tokio (most popular runtime for Rust) is multi-threaded by default. So you have to deal with multithreading bugs as well as normal async ones. That is not the case with most async languages. For example both Python and NodeJS use a single thread to execute async code.

Python 3.10 is only used for the exploit. You can easily rewrite it for 3.8 as well. The vulnerability itself does not require Python at all.

Of course, but it does not matter as the entire AF_ALG module is forbidden by SELinux anyway (on Android).

I tried this exploit on Android and it looks like you need root in the first place to create an AF_ALG socket. I guess it is an SELinux policy to disable AF_ALG entirely.

To even get the su binary on Android you have to patch the OS. So this exploit can't work on Android. Because there is no su binary to target.

Update: Just tried it on Termux and as expected even creating an AF_ALG socket requires root access.

If you present ELIZA to people some will think it is AGI today.

There is a reason so many scams happen with technology. It is too easy to fool people.

That test does not mean anything. I can also spin up a large LLM on my 5090 and say these models are ready for on device deployment now. However that would not be true for most people. You should test a Golang hello world binary as well. I bet it will take less than 40 milliseconds.

AI hysteria has gone too far. People are literally telling stories of what AI may be capable of in the future and whipping themselves into a frenzy.

> I'd blow $10-$20 in a handful of minutes with not much to show for it but sort of OK lisp code that I ended up rewriting.

Damn. And here I have a Gemini Pro subscription sitting unused for a year now.

I had almost forgotten about that subreddit. Sadly it has been in a zombie state for years now. Despite having millions of members you can hardly find even 100+ comments on any post in the front page.

Last time I checked only political posts (like related to offshore programmers) got any kind of attention. Most technical posts barely gets 10 comments. Some of the smaller subreddits (like /r/ProgrammingLanguages) are much better.

Actually they are using everything they have to combat these cheap drones. That includes Patriot and THAAD systems as well. Specially UAE, which got struck with more drones than Israel. That is how Iran was able to take out a THAAD radar, because it was deployed so close to them.

Getting early into any technology only makes sense if you are building your business on top of it. Or you are making money from it in some way. Other than that it makes sense for the rest of us to wait.

Of course those that believe that AI will convert into AGI and destroy society as we know it won't be convinced.
