@NathanpmYoung If you have $100,000, it would not surprise me if you could acquire a single dose for a gray market mRNA vaccine.

I can understand if this story is false but Patrick’s take seems confusing.
Many people would pay $100,000s to cure a loved one of cancer. Either that’s possible or it’s not.

Sorry to be the downer because this is an impressive story in some senses. But it is ~trivially easy to make a single mRNA vaccine. It's not hard. I cure mice of various cancers with various therapeutics all the time. I've made mice lose more weight in a month than tirzepatide does in a year. What is hard and expensive is proving its BOTH safe AND effective **in a randomized and controlled study in humans** while ALSO manufacturing it at clinical scale and grade. I am happy for this man and his dog. It is impressive. But y'all are overhyping it.

@yacineMTB Use a monolithic buck converter with integrated inductor. Almost no parts to spec. For example the MPM3612
English
@yacineMTB Because you don’t have models for all of the ICs you’re likely using, so the results are minimally useful

The term "Fullstack Engineer" now means "Hardware, Electrical, and Software" capability

@curiosityonx Such a stupid take, that’s what the definition of “touch” is

AI induced psychosis will be a major health issue this year
Anthony Varrell@V_arrell
LLM's will cause more psychosis than cannabis. But that's not a conversation people are ready to have.

"robotics data factory" is such a terrible space to be in
there's a a gajillion overcapitalized players, all desperately sliding into LinkedIn / X DMs asking "how can we provide value?"
my answer: idk, show your value by training policies vs baselines with scientific rigor

@oprydai Super cool, the frost evaporates on the heat producing shorted capacitor

Check out the MPM3612 from MPS. Up to 22V in, adjustable or fixed 3.3V out and a nice footprint.

Texas Instruments TPSM81033 1.8-5.5V input, 2.2-5.5V output (2A), with integrated inductor $2.34 @ 4k, $4.30 @ MOQ THIS THING IS ONLY 2.6x2.5mm. It's tiny. The inductor is in there too! Have fun making the footprint lol

@zeroXmusashi Where's the training data coming from? Most programmers write shitty slow code. AI has learned the same .

@RBehiel @wholemars Super cool technology, the problem is we still haven’t found a use case for VR
English
Zuck is right about VR, most people just haven’t realized it yet because it’s still in the phase where you have to be kind of a nerd to get the most out of it. It’s sort of like the early days of the internet.
The key point is that, for those who are into it, VR is *already* there. It’s not some hypothetical future thing anymore, it’s here and it’s awesome. The open question is whether it ends up having an eternal September.

Never plug type c in public places...!! 🏃

Air India flights have a C port that too 60W. This is real development in my books.

AI induced psychosis is very real. Had a first hand experience with a business partner who lost touch with reality

So overall the security on this device is a complete joke. The first thing the mcu does is read the plain text master PIN from the flash device over SPI. A fun exercise in cybersecurity, but a entirely unsecure device. Another reminder to use a (real) password manager!
English
Remember that conversion from ASCII to a numeric digit is very easy, simply subtract 0x30 from the value. So 0x38 → 8 and 0x39 → 9. And clearly we’ve recovered the master PIN which was 8989
English
I was recently gifted a physical password manager. Obviously a bit of a silly gimmick (use a real password manager!), but it got me wondering how secure it actually is. Let’s hack it
