I agree with you on SSDs, that was the last upgrade that felt like flipping the “modern computer” switch overnight. Everything since has been incremental unless you’re doing ML or high-end gaming.

I know it's not the same. But I think a lot of people had a similar feeling going from Intel-Macbooks to Apple Silicon. An insane upgrade that I still can't believe.

asenna commented on Raspberry Pi AI Camera on sale now at $70   raspberrypi.com/news/rasp... · Posted by u/TiredOfLife

This is one of the areas the Raspberry Pi ecosystem is not as strong as either Android or random Chinese devices, so it's good to see them doing this.

For example https://wiki.sipeed.com/soft/maixpy/en/develop_kit_board/mai... has been around for years, and is far far better than it should be, although the resolutions supported by the Pi AI camera are way higher.

The west has been very slow to get into the whole edge inference game.

That MaixCube looks cool. Do you know of any similar products with a much higher resolution?

Genuine request for sources. Whilst i know i could just search the name, i won't. Purely because search is nowadays terrible. However a link to something that further expands on your criticism would be useful.

It's a meme on Twitter, essentially libertarians are pushing the idea that EU killed its tech industry through heavy reagulation and by tech they mean online advertisement.

They keep posting graphs of market capitalisation claiming that Europe must be failing because doesn't have speculative public trading stocks. There's also the top-list theme, making list of top-10 companies by market cap, claiming that if your country doesn't have monopolistic speculative giant public companies you must be failing.

It's very annoying because its very repetitive, I guess they are trying the Goebbles' propaganda technique of keep repeating something until people believe in it.

Someone really really wants to turn the European economy into this short term high growth long term who cares casino that the US has become.

I recently moved to Spain, after having lived in the US for a decade. It's only been a month for me and I definitely see the over-reaching over-regulation of EVERYTHING in the EU.

It's so much that it literally pushes young people to have a non-risk taking mindset. I have a friend who has some knife sharpening and tooling skills and she's been figuring how to do something with this (some kind of a business). I suggested why not get a garage and get the machinery you want and get started. She listed down all the regulations and how even thinking about it is not allowed.

Starting a business/startups is hard. The EU just adds 10-20 more hurdles to cross to get even with the US startup ecosystem. At least that's been my observation in the few weeks.

What's with all the sad posts with what's happening right now? I'm in my 30s and as a builder, what I've seen in the last 12 months has been incredibly exciting!

So many cool things can be built with these tools we have now, so much faster. And while doing this, our experience will be useful in companies wanting to integrate these AI tools.

Checkout what's happening with open / local LLMs, tiny LLMs running on RaspberryPIs, LLama3 about to drop any minute now, Google just released a 1-million context model.

Feels incredibly exciting, I'm not able to relate to these posts.

3.5 is absolute garbage. It is puzzling to me that OpenAI continues to make it available, simply because of the reputational damage.

I was wondering the same thing! The number of people I've had to explain to "get the premium version, do not judge it based on GPT3.5!"

Looks awesome. Doesn't support syntax highlighting for Solidity yet and from a quick search, I couldn't tell if there's any plugin/extension I could install (or how to do it). Any pointers?
asenna commented on Ask HN: Does airport fingerprinting compromise my biometric security?    · Posted by u/sampling

I'm not sure retina is included in every passport. We're not a member of the EU, but our IDs and passports are compatible.

We have encrypted face biometry and fingerprints on them, but no retina. None of the countries I have visited required my retina scan, either.

In the older versions, some data was unencrypted, and most encryption was optional, and someone built a passport scanner and made a talk. I remember that some heads are proverbially rolled and some specifications are updated.

Na, the one that me and the parent are referring to does not apply for visitors. It's for all citizens of India that have opted for the Adhaar card (which is pretty much the entire population).

In India the entire population gave their fingerprint to the government via a massive program called Aadhaar! [1]

This is mandatory for bank accounts, sim cards and what not. So its practically unlivable without Aadhaar these days.

It's not just the fingerprints, they have the scan of the retina for the entire population.

It's a disaster waiting to happen.
