I feel like expert in C++ is a wide range. There are corners of C++ that probably 5 people know about total

Plastic generally isn’t recycled that much, and many kinds of plastic cannot sustainably be recycled. There’s a lot of automation in the space, and none of it uses the markers

We do this already, but also for metals which have a much more reasonable recycling story. In metals though, we use LIBS. Tomra makes the best machines currently

I actually use this to add authentication headers to images directly via src="". No blob management in javascript :)

To make things even more complicated, service workers can intercept requests and change the request mode.

I'm saying even when cost isn't the motivating factor, it's _still_ difficult to build things to really last, especially when there are moving parts.

That's not a 'saving 2 cents problem', that's a failure to recognize the thermal environment and requirements for a component, which is kind of my entire point: engineering isn't easy.

That's like the simplest possible case, and it's not even that clear cut. The truth is nobody has any idea which capacitor is going to last longer. Things like fatigue failure, surface wear, vibration, corrosion, etc. and super ha

I used to cynically think that things breaking down over time was mostly a choice for built-in obsolescence. After doing some real physical product design though, I can say that it's really difficult to build things to last.

This is an interesting premise. I especially like framing speed runners as researchers

Is it then up to the human to specify the services and how they interact?

It’s a weird feeling to be young enough to never have experienced a world without Linux, but be close enough in time to its creation that many of the people involved are still around. My entire professional career has mostly revolved around

I’m saying it’s not even a failure - negative results are still desirable outcomes of the scientific process.

by klysm 2y ago
Haven't they always done that?

I’ve had the displeasure of working for companies that did get SBIRs and firmly believe you are correct that there is an inverse relationship on producing products. The machine knows how to get grants, and it does not care about delivering

They can make a bet on it, same way Apple is making “investments” with continent timing.

Turns out you don’t actually have to hit milestones on grants. The unfortunate reality is grants are typically unrealistic in the same way VC backed startups vastly overestimate their growth curve. In order to win the grant, you’re competin

Negative results are not a failure - this perception is one of the biggest problems with academia
349.
by klysm 2y ago
Definitely a problem, but I think there's always a gap here. What are colleges optimizing for with computer science programs? I would wager there is an incentive problem at the core which is causing these gaps to occur.

by klysm 2y ago
That's okay though! We can just make LLMs grasp it!

Possibly but I’d be willing to bet a decent proportion do in fact work

Encoding temporal dependencies (or exclusions) between methods is hard. You can get partially there by using something like a typestate pattern (common in rust).

Cool idea. It would be nice to be able to quickly pull up a part in context in various designs across the internet to answer “how did other folks solve this on a board that works?”

Please explain how this will increase the stock price in the next week, otherwise it will not be prioritized

Complete bullshit. Research is high risk and frequently 0 return. It’s fundamentally not a sustainable business. Is it worth doing still? I would say yes. These actions by the government are fucking over people who have dedicated years of t

Yeah agreed they are targeting different environments, but at the end of the day it's tools for building root file systems. I expect that to converge to better tooling.
357.
by klysm 2y ago
I think long term yocto and build root are going to be replaced by container tooling. Theres not that big of a difference between compiling an OS image and building a container image.

I know nothing about quantum computing, but constructing a physical system that resembles error correcting codes sounds absolutely fascinating.

It’s kind of trivially true right? The problem is we are on a path to have a shitload of carbon in the atmosphere so we better figure out how to get it out starting now

That might be a bad example due to gravity
