The flip side is that AI systems can also be stupid in ways we have trouble imagining. Which we are seeing play out with LLMs - while able to make plausible and persuasive sentences - they also confidently make many mistakes that humans are

You would rather employ 1k strangers - who are on the other side of an Internet connection - but still control a physical robot in your home that can observe and carry out any action that a human could do? In what way is it actually better?

Cool to see that it works even on ESP32 devices. That will open up many possibilities for affordable speakers/microphones with this integrated.

At our company our Machine Learning train+eval pipelines run in standard Gitlab CI (in addition to all the standard backend/frontend software builds, and some IoT builds). We have some 4 small PCs at the office set up as runners for th

Surely Facebook and YouTube should follow? I mean they have basically entirely copied the TikTok content model for their "shorts" - and pushing it on their existing audiences.

Some people are workaholics, and are using busywork to actively run away from their feelings and thoughts. Such people are quite vulnerable when there is a lull in the available work. Some people are looking for confirmation from others to

You can train a tiny LLM and do experiments on it and demonstrations with your lapop. It is about as accessible as electricity generating potatoes.

Yes pleeease allow trailing commas. The amount of times I have stubbed my foot on that... Especially when removing or commenting out a line. Doesn't help that many environments where SQL used has poor syntax highlights on errors. Looki

As an electronics engineer, I have tried it for such tasks, without success. I specified requirements (only the key/rarer ones, typically 1 or 2) and asked it to find components. It failed miserably, typically just insisting that some

Wealth, network and fame transfers incredibly well between fields. Possibly better than anything else. It should be accounted for when reasoning about success in disparate fields. In addition to luck, of course.

There is a saying among those that operahe makerspaces: "people come for the 3d printer,and stay for the laser". We have Redsail CO2 lasers for nearly 10 years now, in our volunteer ran makerspace in Oslo. It works, but does requi

For hobby/maker/semi-pro that would be Fusion360, Onshape, FreeCAD or Solvespace. And more, probably...

Understood. There has been some amount of that in the past. And probably this kind of pushback will rise up again as the work starts to materialize. I think some are a bit fearful of the potential bad consequences - and it remains unclear

Apparently they do not switch often enough to get US medical costs down to the level of other industrialized nations. But that metric it is hardly an efficient market.

That is not all what I did. But there are several languages/ecosystems which are very prone to such issues - notably C and C++. It is critical important (in my opinion) that Python does not regress to anywhere near that state. This mig

We observe larger and more power hungry at the high end, because those models are selected for maximum performance - at the expense of everything else. But GPU power efficiency (gflops/watt) has been increasing at an exponential pace a

It will happen in one of the later releases. They might not be ready for widespread testing from people who are not willing to build from source, yet.

This. Multi-threading is very prone to nasty, hard to reproduce, bugs if used liberally in a codebase. It really should be used with care, and compartmentalized to areas where it demonstratively brings critical performance improvements.

Thankfully everyone is free to use PyPy, if they consider it the better solution!

Why are you disappointed? Do you think that the progress should be faster? Or that this work should never have been started? Or that they should wait until it works better before integrering in master and having it in a mainline release?

Cuttle looks amazing for 2D geometric patterns. I really must find time to play with it some day and make something. Maybe on leather.

A laser cutter has no inherent depth control. But you can modulate the power, which depending on the exact laser+material combination will give varying depth. In "raster" mode it can be modulated continuous so smooth transitions&#

It can consume _a lot_ of time. An mental space. Which is much more precious in life than storage space. Those that get really afflicted by hoarding can have all the issues associated with other forms of addiction. Like not taking care of r

Modern industrial manufacturing is not done by humans but specialized machines. You cannot outcompete CNC, injection molding, and lathes with humanoid robots.

.mpy modules can contain MicroPython bytecode and/or native machine code. In this case, WASM is compiled (via C) to native code. So the performance is very good, much better than interpreting either MicroPython bytecode or WASM bytecod

Many of the common usecases, like camera input, will have dedicated peripheral a available in a System on Chip or microcontroller. Which would then generally be preferred over FPGA because it will require less custom development, quality as

Arrow Electronics has been involved with freelancer.com for many years, so it might be ok for FPGA. I think an old colleague used it for some embedded stuff (not FPGA) and was pretty happy with it. Upwork also has FPGA category, but I know
