There's room for all sorts. While I've met engineers happy just building the widget with all details specified up front, my career has been taking incomplete specs and deciding how the product works to create holistic designs.

Domains cost money to maintain. They can lapse, change, or be sold. Sometimes people make mistakes. So to my way of thinking they're great as a short-term named identifier but not as a long-term stable identifier. Would be nice to have

Soft disengage -- if the GPU fails it continues to drive via on-device model, alerts the user, and then disengages. More generally, Comma's safety is handled by a microcontroller. The microcontroller limits steering torque commanded to

I'd like to see DNS ownership combined with the time range and an owner-unique key so you can go to the website you intended to visit rather than whoever happens to own the domain at the moment.

Will be interesting to see how Google implements a more open DSP wake-word detection. The requirement for it to work without the app holding a default role suggests needing to recognize multiple wake-words for each of the non-default apps t

Thanks, beat it following your plan. Very cute that at times the game punishes the player for being too productive with tractors.

So far have not made it to phase 3. Despite improving production (more tools! more assistants!) and bonus tractors (work harder! heroic labor brigade!) it's not enough to make up for phase 2's punishing 1000 tractors in 60 days, o

In Stratton Oakmont v. Prodigy, Prodigy ran a message board and would have escaped liability for defamation by a third-party save one problem: they exercised editorial control by moderating content. Hacker News faces the same risk. Respectf

Appreciate you sharing that. Agree with the overall concern with children using tech and I'd start with banning smartphones in school classrooms. Two observations: Why stop with image boards? After eliminating all photo uploads, awful

There's some logic to wanting to assign responsibility for other's actions upon those who enable it. Like you say, to incentivize intermediates to police their users and those they do business with. But the problem with deputizing

If you want to pull another cable: - secure a string to the old cable - pull the cable out the other end, pulling the string through - secure the string to the new cable - pull the string out the other end, pulling the new cable into positi

The picture in the article shows what looks like keypoint matching (ie, SIFT, SURF, FAST) between the query picture and the database. This can give an exact location if a picture of the location exists in their database. They contrasted thi

A while back I looked at matching pursuit. At first it seemed very complicated, but after staring at it a bit realized it's simple. - Start with a list of basis functions and your signal. - Go through the list and find the basis functi

Addressing comments on hearing aid technology: Often people who lose their hearing want to be able to hear in social situations such as restaurants and family gatherings. In this context, the signal and noise have similar properties and are

Hearing in noise is both what most people want from hearing aids and what they are least equipped to provide. The traditional solution is an FM system where you give the person speaking a microphone linked to your hearing aids. There are de

I read it as: Dan is a moderator on a forum and his goal is to maintain a level of civil discourse rather than an aggressive style of communication. It's a very specific definition of "violence" for a specific context and per

If talking about UI, the flip side is not to harm the user's data. So despite containing errors it needs to representable, even if it can't be passed further along to back-end systems. For parsing specifically, there's litera

Two that come to mind: 1) Embedded systems typically do not allow data to grow without bound. If they were going to keep debugging data, they'd have to limit it to the last N instances or so. In this case N=0. It seems like the goal he

Yes, 100%. State transitions are "goto" by another name. State machines have their place but tend to be write-only (hard to read and modify) so are ideally small and few. Worked at a place that drank Miro Samek's "Practi

My favorite trick in C is a light-weight Protothreads implemented in-place without dependencies. Looks something like this for a hypothetical blinky coroutine: typedef struct blinky_state { size_t pc; uint64_t timer; ... var

Humans are also created/derived from other works, trained, and used as a tool by humans. It's interesting how polarizing the comparison of human and machine learning can be.

I would assume EasyTier devs use it to connect their devices within China so the great firewall isn't involved. Attempts to cross the firewall with EasyTier are detectable without things like Tor's pluggable censorship evasion tra

Agreed: caution is advisable. At the same time shaping perception is key. Authorities may push a narrative that affords them greater control. If that's not the world you want, the first step is not to legitimize it.

The effective number of bits (ENOB) is only ~8.7. Originally designed to have an ENOB of 9+ bits, but silicon bugs lowered it. There is also some noise from the Pi Pico power supply which could be a good thing if you're willing to aver

Done for effect: it felt to the OP as if it was the present so the writing conveys that, while elsewhere making it clear the arrest was not the present.
