If you are considering the purchase, I think it's a good deal. The API works well, as does the desktop app. Comes with a software-switchable air pump which is really handy too.

The asteroid scale might be a bit much, but I think he's roughly saying any magnetic material that can be energized thats physically linked to the spinning shell. This is way beyond my pay grade. :)

There are a lot of "mays" and "might be nice to's" in the document. But even the vibration element seems optional, going by my loose interpretation of the formula and contextual wording.

I've always loved programming and never had any doubts, though I don't particularly enjoy management. Maybe find the bits about programming or the biz in general that you love the most, and sorta blow that up into a full time gig

Pretty good intro to making a web server on these powerful, inexpensive ESP chips. Even handles mime types and stuff like that, which many others neglect.

I heard a rumor way back that they transported individual frames outside of WebRTC; if so, that saves them from having to tie in with that stack. I really think it should be possible or even easy to write a WebRTC videoframes-only client, I

You could try running the model in the browser with Tensorflow.js. I recently tried this for something like that and found the overall workflow much easier. TFJS tooling is pretty good. Before I had tried using custom setups with Janus in t

Looks interesting and well produced. I'm sending this to a few friends who are interested in coding to get a "real" take on it.

These guys provide their code in a very easily usable form. Anyone taking a crack at applying it? Edit: Here's a full version of the paper: Link to shared PDF: https://rdcu.be/b8sEo Ramin Hasani's site, with a bun

Phoenix LiveView is definitely interesting but they didn't really have a framework in place to handle browser uploads until now. Seems like a pleasant and flexible API.

FPGAs are good at fast signal processing of diverse sorts. Example in industry are are cable modems (en/decode wideband signal), set-top boxes (decode/decrypt media), precision optical equipment, hardware-assisted algorithms (comp

Here are two rando ideas from an occasionally burned out fellow coder: 1. FPGAs. Get your software turned into sorta-hardware. Very fast, and now, very cheap. 2. Reinforcement learning. Teaching a machine to optimally play a game - any game

I've been playing with reinforcement learning on simulated robots, using OpenAI Gym[0] and PyBullet[1]. I find it interesting because, in theory, the learned policies transfer to real-world robots, and the time is nigh for development

Pretty good! I knew most of that stuff already so I can't speak to the pure education value, but it made sense, and I think you hit the key points. I bet some visuals would help it make sense for total nooberz. AND! I didn't know

What you said is rarely stated in public, but I've often felt it too: OTP obscures the underlying beauty of the Erlang platform. OTP is well engineered of course, but the basic notion of the spawn -> receive -> loop cycle is so c

Oh definitely true. And they have done a killer job of building out all the bells and whistles and making it all quite fast. But as someone interested in the guts, or understanding how to implement new types of systems, it can be quite over

I'm disappointed he isn't releasing the source for these or LibNC. We definitely need non-academic, non-Python machine learning implementations. Anyone know what's up with that?

I've had some good luck with "Unfluff"[0], a credible Node.js package that uses a cascade of logical conditions to figure out what to extract. It's a very practical start. I thought the science of it was called "env

Some protocols have so much persistence, where others seem to be tied to one vendor's fate. I wonder if its worth spending some time trying to understand what makes some protocols so robust and widely adopted. It's not just being

My take as a hobbyist in this area: In highly complex, long running systems, it's very difficult to know automatically when memory is no longer needed. Reference counting, and its draconian creepy uncle malloc()/free(), require pr

You feed in Rust (a flavor called DSLX) or C++ and it generates code for your FPGA (in Verilog). You then upload this compiled "bitstream" to your FPGA and now you have something akin to a custom microprocessor, but running just y

Does it have to be GUI software? If not, Q/Kdb[1] redefined my notion of "economy" in the sense of resource usage. The whole environment with about 60% of what you'd expect is like 500kb? It's also very very fast, p
