"It would be good for the current Dutch government to prioritize the interests of the Netherlands and Europe over that of Groningen"

I mean, what the actual f*ck. I LIVE in Groningen and see the results of endless money grabbing of selling the gas of the past decades every day (Shell & the government). People stressed out, thousands of homes that are unsafe, people living in temporary housing for years.

He compares italian earthquakes with ours (we had one last week). This comparison is so wrong on so many levels. First: these ones here a man induced, which is a different category. Second: the soil here is so much different than in Italy, a earthquake with the same force (richter) has a whole different outcome.

My house has (minor) damage as well, I'm compensated for fixing it and I'm happy with the way the government handled it. But this piece of a BS blog and the conclusion are infuriating.

Did the writer even try to speak to anyone living in this region? Or did he just draw some conclusions based behind his desk that's (safely) located in the US?

Is this the new gateway to a "Model On a Chip"? Is it possible to etch the weights on silicon and get a very efficient way to use a LLM?

Why the name amsterdam?

I feel like playing lemmings now!

By leaving out scale or prior models they are effectively manipulating improvement. If from 3 to 4 it was from 10 to 80, and from 4 to 4o it was 80 to 82, leaving out 3 would let us see a steep line instead of steep decrease of growth.

Lies, damn lies and statistics ;-)

Light is the opposite of hard (ie hard close). It makes more sense (to me!) to use explicit vs implicit close? Clicking outside the popover means an implicit close.

I used a lot of solvers in the early 2000s in my Operations Research master after my econometrics study. While now working on software (web) that uses python I’m thrilled to see these deep dives on this subject!

I love the subject and reading this brought back a lot of memories. Also the realization that translating constraints to a model (variables, structure etc) is 90% of the work and the most difficult part.

I’m following /r/stripe and there are more horror stories over there. If you read carefully and between the lines it is often pretty logical that a ban/freeze is given (shady business, 35k per day within a week, etc)

The good thing is that Stripe is also monitoring that subreddit. And they often reply and mention [email protected] as a quick and easy way to get someone to speak to you. Maybe you can try that next time?

Happy 10+ years customer of theirs btw!

Move fast and break things....

How do you get you data? Are you using APIs?

I’ve built a small scale ‘flat’ that is meant to act as a ‘living’ object that is a bed side companion for sick children that are lying in a hospital.

The idea is that you give a certain floor to family or friends so that they can control the lights (and color). The child can see if parents, grandparents or friends are home or not (based on a schedule or manual action). It gives a sense of reassurance and closeness of the relatives. Also very fun to see a living object next to your bed.

The hardware is a Atom Lite from M5Stack (see: https://shop.m5stack.com/products/atom-lite-esp32-developmen...) and a led stripe with addressable leds.

The software on the atom is micropython and the neopixel module. It connects to a webapp (through wifi) and listens to a JSON endpoint that gives the states of the leds (aka floors).

The webapp is a django app with a main user for the flat and he or she can invite others to control certain floors. All mobile friendly (no native app).

We have 4 live and deployed flats and are in the process of making more for our local hospitals.

The flat (wood) is custom made and pretty labour intensive.

A very fun project and learned a lot about hardware (and the deployment) coming from a saas background.
