I'm gonna guess that the OP (and many others) might use Git purely for the source file. I don't know about other DAWs but Ableton which is my DAW of choice has .als (which is usually pretty small) which contains references to the WAV and other dependent files. Of course, this doesn't solve the (common) problem of losing all your audio files but it does maybe make this approach a bit more feasible...

(I live in Norway)

When I lived in a major city, I went 10 years without owning a car. Should I for whatever reason need a car, I could rent one. But other than that, public transportation, walking, and biking for me. Hell, I often preferred public transportation over a car.

But as soon as I moved back home, a rural area, a car has more or less become a life necessity. I simply can't imagine living out in rural nowhere without a car, it would be such a hassle. Where I live a bus goes 3 times a day to the neighboring towns, that's it.

It really depends on where you live, and what your logistical situation looks like.

While this is worthwhile, I think that the parent post may be referring more to the "UK Electricity price" to consumers, and how this is calculated. It is related, but not quite the same as "roll out more renewables faster and so burn less gas"

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/20/why-the-uks...

> "If we actually paid the average price of what our electricity now costs to produce, our bills would be substantially cheaper."

> In simple terms: the price in the electricity market on any given day is dictated by the most expensive source of generation available, which in the UK would be its gas-fired power plants.

I support "roll out more renewables faster" and pricing reform. Linked article makes it clear that the UK has "one of the most expensive electricity markets in the world" and this impacts consumers and businesses.

Which does raise the question: who benefits from the current pricing arrangement, and why do they have the deciding vote?

This feels like a great example of how wildly overcomplicated Swift has gotten in the past few years. I'm not sure exactly what the right time for Swift to have said 'enough' might have been, but I do know it needs a Snow Leopard [0] release.

In particular, I'd love to see the language designers spend a year simply improving compiler error messages. I don't spend a lot of time building iOS apps these days, and the inscrutability of the compiler's messaging turns that into a vicious cycle.

This sounds more like proactive outreach to PIs based on AI-automated market research rather than direct AI-based gatekeeping by the granting agencies.

There’s certainly a case to be made about using LLMs to find needles in haystacks, since most grants tend to be awarded to “repeat offenders” rather than newcomers and outsiders* with different methodologies.

I approach this from a technical perspective, and have research that shows how Google is unfit for summaries based on their short snippet length in their results [1].

Google also has to support AI summaries for 200k to 500k queries per second. To use a model that is good enough to prevent hallucinations would be too expensive - so they use a bad model since it’s fast and cheap.

Google also loses click through ad revenue when presenting a summary.

All of these factors considered while Google opting for summaries is an absolutely disastrous product decision.

It depends on the phone, but for many phones the security story remains very good even when lost, unless someone knows your passcode. So it’s still “something you know” protecting the password and the TOTP code, but it’s different things that you know and strict rate-limiting on the phone side that wouldn’t be possible on an internet-exposed authentication system makes it extremely difficult to guess the phone passcode.

It's always entertaining to see security people struggling to understand what security is there for. They just consider "security" as the goal in itself, because being more secure is obviously good, right? Yo dawg, I've put a sandbox into your sandbox so you can be secure while you are secure.

If you insist that using software with trampolines means not "caring anything about security", I'm afraid it's a you problem. I'll still be happy to hug my partner when she comes home regardless of what germs might have been on a tram's seat she was sitting on on the way there, regardless of whether someone thinks that this means I don't care anything about health (I'm sure someone does).

In case someone needs it spelled out: I do care, but there are other things I care about too and I won't let some minuscule threats ruin them.

> D does not require names in global scope to be declared lexically before they are used. C++ only does this for class/struct scopes.

But how do you handle a template substitution failure? In C++:

template<typename T> auto bar(T x, T y) { return x + y;}

The compiler has no idea whether bar(1, 2); will compile unless it parses the full definition. I don't understand how the compiler can avoid parsing the full definition.

The expensive bit in my experience isn't parsing the declaration, it's parsing the definition. Typically redundantly over thousands of source files for identical types.

This. This is why C++ is stuck. The effort required to rewrite old shit code (that works, does its job, makes money) is just too valuable to the company so it sits. All vendors must conform or else be shown the door. No innovation can take place so long as Clu has its claws in our company.

I empathize. This is where rust could really help but there’s a lot of hate around “new” so it sits. The C++2042 standard will still have to be able to solve for C++98. The language will die. A pointer is a pointer and it shouldn’t need weak_ptr, shared_ptr, unique_ptr etc. If you expose it, it’s shared. If you don’t, then it could be unique but let the compiler decide. The issue with all these additions is they are opt in for a community that would rather opt out since it means learning/rewriting/refactoring.

I’ve come across this so many times in my career. Thank goodness for AI and LLMs that can quickly decompose these hairball code bases (just don’t ask it to add to it).

I love C/C++ but it’s so old at this point that no sane person should ever start with that.

> The CSC team then prompted the model to scan 10,000 study abstracts published by U.K. researchers since 2010, looking for signs of commercial promise.

I wish they elaborated on how they measure commercial promise. I've seen papers that attempt to link grants to value via a 4 step chain: grants fund projects, projects make papers, papers make patents, patents create jumps in stock for US firms. Of course, this is a reductive way to measure progress, but if you want to use AI you'll need a reductive metric.

> And so far, public funders are being cautious. In 2023, the U.S. National Institutes of Health banned the use of AI tools in the grant-review process, partly out of fears that the confidentiality of research proposals would be jeopardized.

It sort of annoys me that this is framed as "fear" about a single issue. The NIH is increasingly criticized for funding low-risk, low-reward inefficient science. People are suggesting that they instead fund high-variance work, stuff that goes against the grain or lets the researcher chart a new path. Using AI would prevent this, because it tends to be a conventional wisdom machine. Its trained on our body of knowledge; how could it do otherwise?

Yeah, I agree. I've just happened to live in two capitals, so I've had access to top-tier public transport. But even in the capitals, a simple 10-minute drive can turn into a 50-minute journey on public transport (this is a literal common example of mine, not an exaggeration!). So even then, you have to consider how much your time is worth.

No, and both Google and YouTube should be multiple keys. YouTube, for example, should have separate capabilities for watching videos (ideally on a video-by-video basis); autoplaying; viewing metadata; posting comments; uploading videos; viewing playlists; editing playlists; signing up for YouTube Premium; and a number of other operations. That way, somebody who has granted their software agent the capability to play YouTube instructional videos doesn't risk having their credit card charged for YouTube Premium or ruining their reputation by posting questionable spam on everybody else's videos.

Setting up the economic incentives to encourage this is a hard problem. Right now, the disincentives to this are: 1) it adds engineering overhead to secure everything behind a different private key 2) it adds PM overhead to determine what the right granularity is and what potential adversarial avenues exist 3) it creates user confusion as they're bombarded with a list of fine-grained permissions 4) it prevents tech companies from cross-selling new features and impedes new feature discovery. There's basically no reason to do it other than protecting the user, and the user probably won't know they've been compromised until long after they start using the service.

Hah not sure about “production”, I am currently in between jobs and am taking advantage of that to work on a docker/k8s/file TUI log viewer.

I am using those techniques respectively for loading backups (I store each container log in a separate file inside a big zip file, which allows concurrent reading without unpacking) and for servicing the various log producing goroutines (which use the docker/k8s apis as well as fsnotify for files) since I allow creating “views” of containers that consequently need to aggregate in order. The TUI itself, using tview, runs in a separate goroutine at configurable fps reading from these buffers.

I have things mostly working, the latest significant refactoring was introducing the btree based reading after noticing the “fix the order” stalls were too bad, and I am planning to do a show hn when I’m finished. It has been a lot of fun going back to solo-dev greenfield stuff after many years of architecture focused work.

I definitely love golang but despite being careful and having access to great tools like rr and dlv in goland, it can get difficult sometimes to debug deadlocks sometimes especially when mixing channels and locks. I have found this library quite useful to chase down deadlocks in some scenarios https://github.com/sasha-s/go-deadlock

My guess is the LLM was then an expert on the user guide…so as long as you asked it questions about standard by the book use cases then it was perfectly well trained.

But building something from those use cases? If one of them was a iPhone podcast app then the dev would be in the possession of an iPhone podcast app.

Ideally they should have trained the llm on a few dozen iPhone podcast apps :/

If it is a public school, the state should “intervene,” but really it isn’t an intervention, it’s the state’s school they should fix their stupid policy.

For the bank, I don’t really see why it would be preferable to intervene with the bank vs the tech company. Either way the state will have to impose on a private company.

> You need a bank to function--that means the bank should be prohibited by law from tying you to an app from a particular company, whether it's Google or Apple or anyone else. You should be able to access their functions using any client that supports the appropriate open standards (such as web browsers).

Really this is an interoperability problem, so the government would have to impose on both sides. An OS should be mandated to come with a browser than supports some locked down functionality—a subset of HTML, nothing fancy, no scripting or anything like that. The bank should be required to provide a portal that speaks that language.

They're not complaining that someone is copying 'their' service or files, they're informing their community that it looks like the people behind it are not contributing back, and how they feel about that.

In general, I find it of little help to judge what are merely opinions as "right" or "wrong". Can't we simply disagree, without one having to be right and the other be wrong? You make it sound like there was only one true way of being, and some ultimate source of truth that we all need to follow?

I personally prefer it whenever I do not have to judge things as "wrong" out of personal emotional hygiene, because anything that I see as wrong will make me sad or angry depending on whether I consider it something I can do something about or not, whereas a different opinion is merely a different opinion and leaves me in neutral.

I personally also do not agree with using the term "gatekeeping" for providing additional paid faster servers; it would only be gatekeeping for me if they were limiting certain files to paying users, which they aren't.

Being at least 10€/month for the only "useful" tier is a powerful reason for that...

> the belief in no afterlife or one that is not influenced by your current behavior strengthens individualism.

This is just another way of saying that you don't think people (meaning you) would be moral without the threat of a bad outcome (hell, bad karma, reincarnation into suffering, etc).

Most avowed atheists would tell you that the finality of death is precisely why we have a responsibility to each other, because there's no one up above coming to fix our problems or right our wrongs. That humanity has to *be* better to become better.

Being religious doesn't intrinsically make one more or less collectivist or individualist, it all depends on the philosophy of the religion (or non-religion).

Ardour projects are self-contained by default, and can be moved between different systems and different operating systems.

The problem comes mostly from two angles:

1) DAWs which allow you to use external audio/MIDI files and do not place referenceable copies of them inside the session/project folder itself.

2) Plugins that are available on the original system but are not available for whatever reason on the new system.

In my experience, #2 is a vastly bigger issue than #1.
