MicroPython is primarily for embedddd devices with on the order of 1 MB of RAM and FLASH. And applications which makes sense with such constraints. If you have hundreds of MB of RAM, better to just use CPython.

They also are rather expensive to maintain, because the leading ledge gets many repeated stresses. And in nordic climates like Sweden there is a snow plow in the winter to remove snow - those occasionally snag on the speed bump - which tend

Companies tend to lie towards their employees in similar ways as to the public. Very often most if the organization ends up believing the lies. The few people that do not tend to keep shut or go elsewhere.

Thanks a lot for your transparency Jeff! Much needed in this area. And your content is quality, much unlike what else being discussed here. It is really hard to actually make anything substantial on social media exposure. Unfortunately this

What exactly does it say, in your opinion? I can imagine 4-5 different takes on that post.

The VAT part does work like that, taxable where the goods are being sold.

At the very least one must connect to people who would find it valuable (either inbound or outbound), and the value has to be communicated to the prospective buyers. People make their decisions based on how they perceive the product, not ba

Businesses are interested in something that can work for them. And the way the LLM based agentic systems are going, it might actually deliver on "Automated Knowledge Workers". Probably not with full autonomy, but in teams lead by

Agree that M.2 is fiddly. PCIE cards with M.2 sockets are nice nice for desktops and servers, then one can just unplug it to do operations.

Starting an external CI company for GitHub is becoming more interesting now. Gitlab offers ability to do CI for external repositories. Travis CI was what everyone used before Github Actions. Time for a new Travis?

At the SMB scale accountants are mostly paid to coach/pester/goade the employees to hand in the necessary paperwork in time. The accountants job is relatively quick from there on.

Good point about overflow. Did you ever do any write-ups about your flexbox experiments, or constraints for layout more generally?

Hi Yarik! Nice to hear from you again. Hope all is well :)

Anytime algorithms are great for robotics planning, for example. A plan does not have to be perfect to be useful, especially when it can be refined further in the next timestep. And the robot cannot act out the plan instantaneously, so by t

If we could only complement that battery with a small nuclear reactor, then we'd be in business. Come to think of it, shipping would be quite interesting for a SpaceX style disruption - there is a market for many many thousands of unit

Grid Style Sheets / GSS was an implementation of this idea. https://gss.github.io/guides/ccss I saw was because I do not think anyone has used or maintained it since the company behind went belly up. But the code

Yeah the USB stick enables the participants to replicate it more easily at home or with friends etc. Encouraging that the participants are in the driver seat also helps with this.

And sharing/spreading the knowledge widely. If 1000x are doing something smart vs a few here and there, makes a huge difference in a marketplace.

Or domesticate them. A superintelligence could probably figure out how to do that with humans, _if_ they saw a reason for it.

High performing types in those areas network a lot, and just as much off the clock (or more) as on. From those I know, many of them seem to pick hobbies, friends, holidays, activities, gym, etc that is compatible with connecting with the ri

Yeah that really should have been default. Very big footgun, especially when preserving ordering is default in pandas, numpy, etc. And especially when there is no ingrained index concept in polars, people might very well forget that one nee

The pandas workflows have also been stable for the last decade. That there is a new kid on the block (polars) does not make the existing stuff any less stable. And one can just continue writing pandas for the next decade too.

Code using pandas is testable and reusable in much the same way as any other code, make functions that take and return data. That said, the polars/narwals style API is better than pandas API for sure. More readable and composable, sim

For ARC v1 it was found that it was much less resistant to brute force than intended/designed. This was improved in v2, which LLMs are currently doing less good at. Note also that ARC tasks are explicitly designed to be slightly-out-of

If you started with a deep neural network, one can't really use pruning to go all the way down to a parameter count that is directly intepretable (say under 100). One would at least have to try some techniques to get more disentangled

ESP32 or RP2 based boards with for example MicroPython/CircuitPython, or platform.io + VSCode. Though the good old Arduino IDE seems to be unaffected by this change though.

Adafruit also created and maintains CircuitPython, which is targeted very much at the same audience as Arduino. Very beginner friendly, great for quick prototyping/one-offs, but serious enough that one can ship small scale projects wit
