The audio was derived entirely from a recording of a man saying "laurel" (can be heard here: [1]). There's no recording of him saying "yanny" because it isn't a word. The high frequencies of "laurel" do in fact sound like "yanny".

I regulary use youtube to hunt for niche tracks, and it still happens that those tracks can't be found on spotify (though spotify got vastly better with not-so-popular music in the last 6 months or so).

Youtubes never recommends mainstream music to me, I guess it depends on the browsing history of your account (and IP address etc.)

Yeah, I've people compare belief in God to wagers or lotteries or invisible unicorns. I find arguments like this to be intellectually lazy.

The universe had to be formed somehow, right? It's a mystery how. God is a possibility.
Not just YouTube, Google Play Music's recommendations are truly terrible. I'm regularly being recommended whatever is popular, rather than anything I'll actually listen to. The only time I've ever witnessed Google Play get a recommendation right is when a band I've already added to my library releases a new album.

It irks me that after being a subscriber for many years, Google Play still doesn't have anything like Spotify's Discover Weekly. The Google Play Music recommendations are just so god-damn awful. I don't know if it's actually the case, but they come across as ads, not recommendations i.e. Some record label paid lots of money to be "recommended" frequently.
Plus, more flights on smaller planes gives finer granularity in tuning the number of seats flown per day to match the demand for that route.
A fast food run (on the ground local transport) can become electrified and run on renewables. Flight transported goods is much harder to make run on renewables. Even if a flight runs on 100% biofuels, the high altitude climate forcing effects of the emissions seems to be unavoidable and are as big as the CO2 emission itself.

To avoid going over the average 2C temperature rise we are going to need to cut all these emissions. Air transport emissions will become a hard nutt to crack.

Thanks for the package! When it comes to JavaScript - the code is the documentation. You look up methods etc in the source code. But as this is 30k lines of generated code it's not very fun to read in order to figure out how something works. So in this case documentation, tutorials and examples becomes very important! For example how do you find all functions, or how do you find all variables, or all variables available (in scope) from position row/col.

I know there are documentation for Go, but that is not super helpful for a JavaScript dev. We need samples ready to copy & paste. Think Stack Overflow (https://stackoverflow.com/) which is often the first result that comes up when you Google for something JavaScript related.

The problem is that the rule makers in high schools are sometimes (often?) incredibly petty people with a very poor understanding of human psychology and communication, not tremendously much empathy for the students, and very little personal consequence when they make a mistake even if that has drastic consequences for the student (and as a result little time spent introspecting about their mistakes). I never got in particularly much trouble, but many of my friends were screwed by minor miscommunication which incompetent adults escalated beyond any reason.

And yes, under the circumstances (assuming the goal is to avoid problems, instead of to aggravate the staff, perform ad-hoc psychology experiments, or the like), any high school student should avoid contradicting the staff in public, start by acquiescing to any request that doesn’t pose an immediate injury risk, disengage quickly and completely and then marshal their parents’ help if there has been any kind of mistake that will affect them academically.

Few teenagers have figured this out though. To any high school rule makers out there, please read How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, https://amzn.com/1451663889/ and in general, please try to treat the students with basic respect.
Well, if someone doctored a recording of "laurel" to make it sound like "yanny" and then mixed it back into the original recording of laurel (or did something mathematically equivalent), then maybe both the article and my comment are correct.
Same here! For the first time after 24 hrs I hear Yanny, I slide all the way back past 50% and it stays Yanny until much lower. Crazy stuff.

This is unrelated, but they mention The Great Financial Crisis which made me remember the Recession of my youth.

It devastated my family. My father was in construction. That market seriously ebbs.

I remember a faint feeling I had back then: resentment towards families who happened to be in industries that weren’t hit.

Not because I thought it was unfair that we were hit, I just resented that they didn’t even have to notice what was happening.

And I just had to check myself about this Great Financials Crisis. Lucky timing, I have been pretty employable the last 20 years. The “crisis” was always a political skirmish to me. I cared about it, but it seemed small compared to past crises.

Just now it occurred to me though, that whatever millions of people are going through exactly what I did, their families collapsing.

And I’m the one can not notice that.

I’d like to securitize those families.
Moreover, who is going to write the next protocols we need?

I had a series of psychotic episodes in my late teens where I experienced things like my food tasting like it was contaminated with bleach or gasoline, maggots writhing under my skin, spiders swarming out of the walls and biting me, and news anchors threatening sexual violence against my family members. It absolutely demolished my belief in a spiritual or supernatural world, because I became aware of just how powerful and convincing the mind can be in creating false experiences.

Yup, when I consumed some `golden teacher` and started perceiving the people around me in `The Simpsons Cartoon Style` rendered in realtime with perfect realism replacing my reality, I was sold on that being a very real possibility as well.

And music... It takes a whole other dimension. Calling it `high def` doesn't do it any justice. Experiencing music aside, it feels as though you live the music you are hearing. It is hard to explain. It also becomes your reality.
Here's how I got started with zero connections: I started writing on a few web dev blogs on using different frameworks, tools etc. Not all of them were popular, but a few became "evergreen" posts and they brought quite a few inbound queries/questions which eventually turned into small consulting gigs, which eventually grew in size and volume.

I don't really care about the music part, but it's great to see that Youtube Red/Premium will be available in more countries.

It never made sense that you couldn't buy YouTube Red outside a few countries. YouTube doesn't have enough advertisers in some market (e.g. in Denmark), so you end up skipping the same five ads constantly. So financially is seemed that Red should have been made available in countries with few advertisers first, rather than showing me ads for YouTube itself.

1. Create a few open source products/apps: This will teach you a lot about your gaps.

2. Start a blog and have a post per week on a consistent schedule: This will get you some visibility.

3. Bid on jobs on Upwork and other freelancing websites with a low rate: This will get you your first experience with freelancing. Having an initial lower rate will make you more favorable for a job. Also, this is the hardest. You may have to do a 100 bids before you get your first offer. Also, keep tuning your bids, the wording and the content of your messages matter. Think about the person reading your bid and why they would select you over the 100 other bidders.

4. After a few gigs, increase your rate to a proper doable rate.

Also, look out for people asking for resources on twitter, slack channels etc, those tend to have a higher probability of converting. You should look at online communities where people who are working on your stack loiter.

Then again, there are people who dropped out of sport, because they thought they would have to take doping or were pressured to. There are people I know personally who refused jobs that required them do something they found unethical - despite higher pay and benefits. It is profoundly unfair to label them as mediocre just because they have moral or ethical lines they don't cross. Doing that is nothing but rationalization of bad acts.

Maybe the average mediocre person is not just justifying their mediocre existence.

Maybe you are rationalizing bad acts bad on idea that being socially celebrated matters more then ethics and moral.

I'm not entirely sure you're reading the definition correctly. It's a "complete loss of subjective self-identity", not so much your "ego" no longer being there.

> Boy, you sure make fragmentation, constant wheel reinventing, and the necessity of complex tooling to perform simple tasks almost sound like a good thing.

Why, thank you!

Redundancy of efforts in F/OSS is of course a bad thing. It's perhaps even more tragic in free software than in proprietary software, because in free software, developers have fewer formal barriers to drawing upon the work of others. But it's something free software projects can't simply disable by exerting brute control over their users and contributors. The point is that with tech like this, the hackers behind projects like Guix have triumphed in a tougher struggle than NeXT or Apple ever picked. And they've built technology that copes with a wider range of environments, not via ugly hacks on edge cases, but through a thoughtfully designed build system which renders the whole dependency tree of every program it builds transparent, reproducible, and portable. That they had to build a vehicle for such wild and varied terrain is not what I'm celebrating, the cool thing is that they _did_.

> Given the near-complete lack of non-oss software support Linux has, it seems like both developers and users rather prefer uniform common runtimes and a lack of diversity in their operating system components.

Alternatively, when you refuse to distribute source code, compatibility for you involves greater demands on your platform, because you can't leave downstream distributors to recompile and you refuse to allow your more capable users to fix your software's incompatibilities. It's almost like a whole lot of things get easier when you distribute source code with your application.

Regardless, I think there are a lot of factors that together explain the predominance of free software on free operating systems. Proprietary software companies aiming to hit as large a market as possible with a single codebase turning away from perceived fragmentation in the ‘Linux market’ is certainly one of those many factors.

It's pretty clear from your comment that you don't know anything about magic mushrooms.

I could understand your response if the parent were speaking about LSD or bath salts or something else that have been known to give people bad, destructive trips. But shrooms?

Psilocybin is known as the gentlest and most enjoyable psychedelic there is. Adverse reactions are rare, and as far as I know nobody has ever come out of a shroom trip with their brains scrambled. Personally, I find that the experience isn't so much a "trip", but rather a gentle, beautiful and interesting set of visual effects. I don't hallucinate people or supernatural beings, but I do see colours around the edges of things, and repeating fractal patterns everywhere, and enjoy a strangely improved acuity of vision.

Shrooms are also a type of drug where you can derive a psychological benefit from very small doses (or microdoses) that essentially provides no "trip" at all. There's promising research showing benefits for depression and PTSD. Not to mention that psilocybin is not addictive.
It would mean what this particular variable has been operationalized [0] to mean. Once upon a time things such as "heat" were just words, and as words they were used in a variety of different implicit senses in which at the time people didn't distinguish -- for whatever reason -- but that people thought that nonetheless were informative about the thing in question. Which is to say that words were used as heuristics, partly as reasonable descriptions, partly as expressions of gut feelings. With the association of heat with thermal expansion and the development of better apparatuses (e.g. the ordinary mercury column thermometers) as well as the diffusion of this concept among laymen though stuff such as weather prediction, it became the most salient form of "heat", and thus the standard use of the word when unqualified came to mean just that: what a thermometer reads. But other forms of heat i.e. the personal feelings of heat associated with climatic comfort, or the action of capsaicin or even wounds -- and this is the origin of the word "inflammation" -- came to be used only when qualified. These are all said to be "subjective heat". Now, I can only claim that all that I've said is merely opinion, since I haven't quite yet worked out to properly cite just who might have said this prior to me and for what reasons -- and which I currently wont, because it's scattered over stuff and I don't know even how to begin -- so this is all provided as is.

About ordinality, as opposed to cardinality, I can only say that I didn't see the connection at the beginning, but now that I've thought a little while about it, it does seem like a philosophically uncomfortable idea. But I'm not going to be the one to say why, at least not now.

> Previous discussion ...

Warning! The one called the "previous discussion" is not about the same article as this now. This now is:

"lightweight concurrency in lua, 16 May 2018"

Whereas the one linked behind https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14664150 is

"a new concurrent ml, 29 June 2017"

so it can be just a "previous article by the same author which was discussed on HN" or something like that.

This one, here now, is not a second go on the same topic, this one here is a brand new topic: it involves Lua, Luajit and Snabb

> > If you’re already a YouTube Red (soon to be YouTube Premium) member

That's reflecting the current pricing structure, no? Currently, buying play music also gets you read. From the article, it looks like you no longer get Red (renamed Premium), you instead only get YT Music.
Hey again, so I got curious about this "Alexa ranking" requirement - and it's fucking crazy bananas at this point.

The current maintainers are actively removing data that doesn't meet the "Alexa 200K" "requirement", and other PRs have been closed as "not in Alexa 100K".

https://github.com/2factorauth/twofactorauth/search?q=alexa&...

If this were a project I'd started and saw the new maintainers doing what they are, I'd be livid.

I cannot fathom the scenario where it makes sense to remove correct, useful information like this.
The State still cannot tell the Coyotes from Raccoons. Especially so because neither of them show there form truly until the deed is done. Thus the Coyote population control. The utopia of a Coyote population playing the meta game will indeed happen some day - just that the time isn't right. Yet!
So the same Animal Control that goes around looking for masked men with rifles, also chases those who leak the rightful information to the People. The question is not who is right - the question is are the People ready? And what's the ratio of Coyote's to Raccoons. And how exactly do you tell them apart pre-facto.
Can't you see it as a indication of the opposite of what we typically call God? That instead of there being an external entity outside our universe interacting with you, you talked to something God-like inside yourself. This might be what you share with every person in history that ever have received divine inspiration. That same experience motivated them. Just like we can share experience with other people when we are happy, tired of drunk. But this one requires a more complicated key to access, which could be elaborate practices or a drug.

I might be wrong, but I find these psilocybin experiments extremely enlightening as to why we as humans struggle so much with religious experience.

Did my suggestion make sense? I tried to word it as plainly as possible, but these are things we aren't used to discuss...
