AirPods are the only Bluetooth earbuds that don't give me instant pressure headaches. For some reason, nobody other than Apple wants to make wireless earbuds, or even semi-wired Bluetooth "sport" earbuds, that don't have some kind of conformant in-ear seal to them. In at least this sense, Apple's product is decidedly "better."

Or, one might say, Apple's product is the only satisfactory product on the market. It could certainly be better; along some axes, it's strictly worse than its competitors. But along a crucial axis, it meets a minimum standard of quality—not hurting my ears—that nothing else does. Sort of like modern VR products were "better" in that they finally met the minimum standard of quality of "not making me throw up."

(You can tell that Apple is thinking specifically about this problem when nobody else is, because when they decided to add a conformant seal to the AirPods Pro, they then spent who-knows-how-much figuring out a way to actively pump air out of the ear canal to relieve the pressure imbalance you create when you shove the 'bud in there. I haven't tried those, but I'm pretty sure, from the description of the pressure-equalization tech they employ, that they wouldn't hurt my ears either.)

You can't compare US and Chinese growth rates. It's easier to grow when you still have a lot of growing to do.

Regime changes have been almost always bloody. That is true everywhere in the world. Chinese has over 2000 years of history to prove that point.
While I despise the loudness war and the loss of dynamic range, it's worth recognizing that where and how people listen to music has changed drastically in the last 20 years.

Moreso than ever in the past, people listen to music in public or otherwise noisy environments. (worse yet) They listen with generally low quality headphones/earbuds.

Basically, if the music isn't compressed, they won't hear most of it.

Of course, this plus the crappy earbuds and the noisy surroundings means they listen at higher volumes and suffer more hearing damage, which leads to less human sensitivity to sound levels (and more desire for compressed, high volume music).

It's very rare for most of us to get to sit in a good room with a good system and listen without interference... but it's really, really nice to do when you can.
Google and Amazon could have stole nothing and Sonos would still be doomed by their walled garden strategy in the long run.

Golang is very nice and simple, yet powerful and performant in many ways by default.

However, channels were way overhyped, and one really should think long and hard about wether to use them at all, ie. find specific use cases. They're based on Mutex, but slower and often end up becoming a more complex distributed pattern.

Why not use channels? While sharing state/memory by communicating sounds nice, in practice you end up with coding requirements for a distributed system. Do you need one? Fine. It could even work out nicely for making a skeleton distributed monolith, before splitting into microservices.

But for most common use cases, channels distribute behaviour across your system unnecessarily, and you end up needing to synchronize and clean things up between different moving parts. If you don't have clearly defined bounded contexts such a pattern can fit into, it just seems like increasing complexity for no good reason.

Of course, for very straightforward implementations that you know won't grow in complexity, channels are fine, especially for simply reusing a working pattern.
SVN had improvements over CVS, but it still had obvious pain points. So there was still an obvious opportunity for a better VCS to come along.
Assuming "cause a brushfire" means intentional causing, rather than unintentional causing during commission of another arson, that's certainly an alarming trend. I live in a region of Canada that's had seasonal forest fires for as long as I remember and I don't recall any of them being intentionally set. Not good to see this emerge as a crime trend although I'm, in a way, not surprised given I've wondered for awhile why terrorists haven't been using forest fires as a tactic given the potentially low risk to mayhem ratio.
If casualties are zero, we can laugh it off as an impotent hissy fit by an incompetent adversary.

If casualties are non-zero, the President will be obliged to carry out his “52 targets” threat. This is probably the right move — don’t play tit-for-tat against a less powerful adversary, instead immediately escalate to a level they can’t possibly match.

Unfortunately Iran’s air defences are more potent than anyone the US has bombed recently, so we might be about to find out just how good US technology really is.

What happens next? I’m not sure. I can’t imagine the US committing to a ground invasion of Iran, but it should be possible with an air campaign to reduce Iran to the level of a 2000-era Iraq.

Edit: President Trump’s latest “all is well” tweet, and his intention to hold off on doing a briefing until tomorrow, seems to imply that US casualties were zero after all and that he’s chosen the “laugh it off” response, which is a great relief to me.
Of course not, it's a stick. If widely adopted, it eliminates the incentive for the extra compression in the first place.
What I mean is daily operations on the repo like viewing a diff, committing, amending, checking out a different commit, etc. Without doing precise measurements, I would tend to think that it's mostly caused by the slowness of CPython, as compared to a C executable (Git).

The entire repo is stored on a networked file system. So essentially every file operation is remote. That doesn't actually contribute to much slowness because when I didn't use hg, operations were noticeably faster.
> There's some slight hiccups, but it's not Plex.

Please elaborate -- is "it's not plex" supposed to be positive or negative?

I'm a heavy Plex user and I'd love to switch to an open source alternative. But Plex is really good, and I love the native Trakt.tv webhook integration (which means everything I watch automatically gets tracked on trakt.tv).
I see, thanks. I was hoping for this to be more automatic.

We have to write some BrightScript at work in order to maintain an SDK for our QoS data analytics product. It's one of those things where you forget about it until you have to work on it again, then you get to go through all the stages of "why would someone do this" all over.

I think Roku is actually one of the better OTT platforms out there, but that's absolutely in spite of BrightScript.
Are you being difficult on purpose?

I posted a comment on how 'sort | uniq -c | sort -n' is an interesting and very capable pipeline, but often misused and slower than other alternatives.

> you are comparing

Yes, I am comparing two methods of accomplishing the same thing. That is how comparing things works.

> Please, "huge waste"? How do you sort something that does not fit in memory?

Note how the full sentence included "if you give it 100GB of 5 different strings". If your input is 100GB of 5 different strings, then the hash table will easily fit in memory, and sorting the entire data set only to pass it to 'uniq -c' is indeed a 'huge waste'.

There are tons of large data sets that only have a small number of unique values in particular fields. protocols, ports, http status codes, hour of the day, etc. 'sort | uniq -c | sort -n' will work for all of them, but not nearly as efficient a hash table.
There's always something like Ansible (or even a lower-tech solution) to at least give you the basic toolset that helps you double or triple your performance.

There is a lot comments focusing on which side will win, but I would like to hear peoples thought about how the judges can reach the desired conclusion and what the potential risk or prospects to areas outside of programming API. As long there is not explicit paragraph in copyright about programming API I would think that there will be an effect outside the scope of this lawsuit.

One area of copyrighted works I have seen people also question the legibility of being copyrightable is standard documents and law texts. They seems to me as very similar to an program API, if somewhat less strict when implemented. It would definitive lower the cost of interoperability if such works would be lifted outside of copyright.

On the risk side however, I am wondering if the Idea–expression distinction get pushed towards the idea side, then will companies just use that finding as an argument in favor of patenting API? 20 years is better than the practically infinity that is copyright, but I am not sure it will make the situation much better in the general case.

"Alternatively, a national figure can be obtained by aggregating publicly available data on arson that are available from each state and territory police jurisdiction. Based on these figures, there were approximately 14,975 incidents of arson recorded by police in 2011–12. This is likely to be an underestimate owing to the various ways in which different police jurisdictions define arson for statistical purposes, as well as the omission of unreported incidents.

To estimate the number of arson incidents not reported to police, Mayhew (2003a, 2003b) used a multiplier of 3.0. Applying this to the above police recorded crime figure, in 2011–12 there were an estimated 44,925 incidents of arson."

So there are about ~100 cases of arson per day in Australia in a given year. What is different about bush fires this year?
> there’s not a good whole-of-Australia map

This one (from WA) covers the whole country, and shows a) where the fire fronts and b) what's been burnt. This website is actually linked to in the main article (MyFireWatch):

https://myfirewatch.landgate.wa.gov.au/

It's also the one that ends up being doctored then played around social media.

As a 'side note' though, the article mentions:

> In contrast to MyFireWatch maps (left), blue symbols on New South Wales Rural Fire Service maps (right) give 'Advice' warnings, indicating no immediate danger

This is blatantly misleading. Blue means there are fires still active in the area, the MyFireWatch shows exactly where those active fires are. And personal experience has shown that Blue can become Yellow and then Red within a space of 10 minutes.
> Iran is only a regional power and would likely lose a conventional war quickly against the US (matter of days or weeks).

Iran would lose control of their airspace pretty quickly and we'd be able to drop bombs on whoever we want, but there's no quick way the United States could occupy and control the country in that time (at least, not without resorting to weapons and tactics that would cause massive loss of civilian life, and which most soldiers would I hope refuse to carry out).

I did create a personal config. The ping says vultr-ewr-1, not sure what that means. Thanks.
It's an interesting thing. When you participate in this war as a creator of recorded music, as I do, you're sacrificing dynamic range so that your track fits in with everyone else's. For some types of music, it's a trade-off worth making, for others, not so much. Getting close to what the pros do is pretty straightforward if you have experience and a real mastering tool. Those tools are getting smart about analyzing your track and building an eq/compressor/limiter/maximizer stack that rocks, but the gods of top-40, for example, can make real magic happen when it comes to loud-but-not-distorted.
well I made two claims but
1: Because Intel 14nm was more efficient than AMD 12nm. i'm not make this prediction with high confidence.
2: Independant of the competition 7nm should offer insane enough battery life in a 13" form factor to be "good enough".
These unions are directly dependent on pilots having jobs. Pilots, airlines, FAA, Boeing are in the same team here.

It's not a trade-off worth making at all from my perspective. I have a volume knob, pretty much all audio software has an option for volume normalization, radio DJs can apply something similar if they wish.

It's unknown what role if any BPE plays. I was surprised to discover that the final probability of a move is equal to the probability of each token from the root prompt, i.e. even though "1.Nf3 e5" is encoded as ['1', '.', 'N', 'f', '3', ' e', '5'] the probability of e5 seems unaffected by the fact that Nf3 is 3 tokens as opposed to one.

You're right that coming up with a token mapping could help things. It's a bit tricky to do that right now. Your options for fitting a custom vocab seems to be "use sentencepiece to fit a vocab, then modify the gpt-2 codebase to use the sentencepiece library for decoding".

I am honestly not sure if the output of sentencepiece is compatible with traditional encoders. What I mean is, it doesn't seem to generate an encoder.json + vocab.bpe file. It seemed to be some other kind of format. So I'm not sure if the tooling that has evolved around OpenAI's encoder format would be applicable there. I really don't know, though.

According to this slatestarcodex comment, someone got superior results on solely algebraic notation (which looks like g1f3 instead of Nf3): https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/el87vo/a_ve...

Another extension that might help is to periodically inject the full FEN board state. This was the format we were going to try next, which injects the full FEN after every move: https://gist.github.com/shawwn/318606c112774ad070f94de9c8288...

Some of Intels design decisions made them uniquely vulnerable to Spectre and it's not simply a matter of them being a "bigger target" if that's what you're driving at. Yes though every CPU has theoretical Spectre vulnerabilities.

> My 2c on being in engineering leadership is that it’s best to think of yourself as a manger without authority, rather than thinking of yourself as an engineer with authority.

Im a principal at AWS. A coworker made a joke that resonated with me; a principal engineer is a manager without direct reports.

My job is twofold. Helping managers understand where to go. Helping ICs and teams to get there. I have no inherent authority and it all comes down to trust and influence.
My point was rather that that's where Elixir excels.

Throughput is always a compromise with latency in garbage collectors and schedulers.

Elixir prioritizes low consistent latency with its garbage collector and preemptive scheduling. Whereas many other systems, such as Haskell's GHC compiler/runtime prioritize high throughput instead for better computational performance.

All the computations have to run inside a process in Elixir. Erlang's platform constrains each process so that any single process cannot hog all the resources available. Therefore, you need to split the computation to many processes when you do CPU intensive work. And processes carry message passing overhead, leading to reduced maximum throughput.

Something like lots of small messages with minimal processing (think: chat) over a bunch of network connections sounds like the ideal sweet spot for Elixir.

Some predictions are being met. The ones that aren't are generally forgotten.
You're right, "efficient" should be substituted with "possible". We're certainly not claiming that this is a smart way to do it, just that you can.

Still, I think that there's a chance it could work well. Each move could be prefixed with the final outcome of the game, which is the technique either alphazero or muzero uses.
I have actually seen that a few times, but it's mostly small local businesses. Modern Times Brewery recently implemented that kind of program. At the end of the day, the owners have all the power to make that decision.
5w isn’t a lot as it’s not unlimited. Unlimited means taking the whole quarter off.
I don't see why this needs to be done at the track mastering level though. If audio device manufacturers know their users are primarily going to be listening in noisy environments with cheap headphones they can compress the track at playtime.
Sony's PlayStation is a popular consumer software platform, showing they’re not completely incapable of providing usable software.

I'd point more towards the competitiveness of the digital music market making their aggressive attempts to lock customers into their own narrowly focused music platform much less appealing. In game consoles, proprietary content is the point; not so much in audio gear.
