That's a disingenuous definition. Obviously the original is a "better" read because it's the full project being featured.

Scott's article summarized and intro'd the project to people who never saw the original, including the person who posted it here on HN. That's adding quite a lot of value.

Why are you so intent on putting down Scott's post?
dunno what they used however the simple of it can be where your code synthesizes the audio curve ... just a time series of floating point numbers ( or integers ) which is analogous to the wobble of the microphone membrane or your eardrum ... then to render this there are two fundamental notions regarding this raw audio --- bit depth and sample rate --- bit depth drives how granular this curve gets digitized typically you use two bytes ( 16 bit ) to store each point on this audio curve --- sample rate is simply how many of these audio samples you store per second ( CD quality is 44,100 samples per second ) ... this level of raw audio is called PCM ... to render it most easily simply output a 44 byte header which outlines the audio spec followed by the payload which is this PCM audio where each audio sample out putted into the output file is saved across two consecutive bytes, meaning a given audio sample ( a point on the audio curve ) consumes 16 bits of memory which gets saved as two bytes in the output file ... then you have your own WAV file which can get rendered using command line tools like ffplay, aplay, vlc or whatever
A very interesting read, but I can't shake the feeling that Roam is "just" a better wiki. Which is probably all that is needed to have a product that works, sometimes the littlest changes make for the best tool. Another wiki that is pretty interesting is https://tiddlywiki.com/, although Roam seems to have a easier to use interface.

> Skunk works can sustain, at max manpower. It is bureaucratic waste with minimum productive output.

to me, "it" seems to refer to "[s]kunk work" and referring to skunk work with respect to "max manpower" does not sound like skunk work to me, but throwing lots of cooperate ressources (instead of a small elite team) at the project.
Just out of curiosity, how did your dad exploit you for cheap labor with BSD?

I mean I also did a lot of chores around the house and was the responsible IT repair guy of the house but I thought that's a pretty good deal for being housed, fed and clothed for 20 years.
For me it's different. It's easy for me to start a project. I get overly excited over a week, banging a lot of code. But as soon as I get stuck, I often get stuck forever and never come back to the project.

Or I decide to "refactor" a piece of code, and then spend days thinking about how I'll "refactor" it, rather than just doing it or not doing it in the first place.
Seems like she has reached a particularly high level of spiritual development (which can be more rationally defined as self-minfulness). Great Tibetan Buddhist masters use to die the same way - they would tell everybody in advance and prepare themselves.
I find quite a lot of people do not agree that it's important to talk about it, for whatever reason. My guess is that overcoming the social stigma around showing your emotions/sharing problems is mostly to blame. Perhaps most people in my social group actually have had such problems and don't even feel comfortable in the meta-conversation.

I often say things like "people should talk about this kind of stuff more because it would help them through it". I obviously mean it in a general sense (very much not trying to get specific people to talk about specific problems). Responses vary from an insincere "yeah..." to the rather odd "you can't tell people what to do".
High quality crappy pots.
This happened to me once, the second time I ever had a panic attack (the first being when I was a toddler). My heart started racing and I hyper focused on it; took my blood pressure and it was a high so I called the advice nurse who told me to have someone take me to the ER. Basically the only way the situation could have been worse is if I’d actually been having a heart attack. I was preparing to accept death at age 20.

What made it worse was the doc in the ER did an ultrasound on my heart as I was coming down from my freak-out. I was thinking “wow, that’s amazing! That’s my heart inside of me!” Then the doctor says, “this side of your heart looks a little thick but otherwise it looks fine” and never followed up. I try not to think about that too much.

One of the most frightening experiences of my life at the time, but it was super interesting in retrospect.
Well in another sense ... they always do ;)

Guide to a Successful Froggodoggo Profile
The fact remains that this crash was 99% pilot error. The A/T displaying "RETARD" for something like 60 seconds and the airspeed got down to something stupid like 80 knots (airspeed is prominently displayed in at least 3 places right in front of both pilot's faces) so it was pretty obvious that the auto approach was not correctly configured, but what did the pilots do? Nothing. They just sat there gormlessly for over a minute, oblivious to dozens of warning signs right in front of them. No pilot should rely on the radio altimeter so much that they literally fall out of the sky when it fails.

Every single Boeing plane has two buttons called "autopilot disconnect" and "autothrottle disconnect", and when you press them, then you can fly the plane and it will do exactly what you tell it to do. I mean fly the plane, i.e. left hand on yoke, right hand on throttle, feet on pedals. If those systems fail, then yes, blame the manufacturer. But those systems basically never fail.
Do you have any examples of times when people who genuinely and strongly held opposing ideas both made concessions, and weren't coerced into doing so by some third party? I can't think of many.

With a counter full of dirty dishes, I tell myself that I'll just quickly fill the dishwasher with the easy stuff and start it. I'll leave the rest for later. But when I've started the dishwasher, there's usually only three items left, like a soft plastic lid or a tea mug that can't go in the dishwasher. So I wash those by hand. Now the counter is empty, but stained, so I might as well wipe it so that it's clean for next time I cook.

It all starts with the lazy "I'll just throw the easy stuff into the dishwasher", but momentum takes over. Listening to interesting podcasts help!

Given the performance of Google's auto-captioning, I suspect developing worthwhile auto-captioning is pretty difficult; according to [1] the better Youtube channels use gig economy captioning at $1 per minute.

Of course, there would be some scope for efficiency - no need to pay for captioning when the performers aren't speaking!

Thanks. But what I am looking for is to render an array of notes to PCM (or whatever). I've tried defining the notes as frequencies and using a waveform rendering library (in Python) but it's very slow and clicky - a wave of a particular tone gets cut abruptly right before the next one starts and that produces a click. I need something more intelligent to sort of crossfade subsequent tones into each other or so. Perhaps I should just use a filter...
They are obviously not equal. They are hearing disabled. That's a red herring.

Should the society support them to lead normal lives as much as possible? We can pretty much agree on that, at least as long as the costs are reasonable (for example one billion per inner ear implant is definitely not).

If you put the problem like this it's obvious there is room for discussion. Is PH captioning helping them live normal lives? Is the cost reasonable? Is it really the best direction for society to put resources?

People will answer differently, of course, not being identical copies. But the conversation itself is legitimate.

When landing there is a lot going on. I don't know how airliners do it but at those airspeeds and especially when landing an audio readout of airspeed for every 10 knots dropped would be very useful.
Here's something that I think works best: Detaching yourself from everything and writing things down. Either a piece of paper or a text document.

Start writing concrete things that need to be reinforced, that are easy to answer and can be connected together. Things like the goal of the software, core modules, what you're working on now, etc. Expand to things like what new features would be nice, how to implement them, etc.

This works better than vague solutions like "do one thing" because where do you start? Writing a line of code somewhere for the sake of it is pointless. Especially if it's bad code, that just makes me feel worse knowing I'll probably have to undo it later because that's usually what ends up happening based on past examples.

Detaching yourself from the work frees you from all the things tying you down that clouds your mind. Taking a moment to reorganize gives you a new thing to focus on, and arms you with purpose which makes it easier to work.
Google is an unethical technological giant based in a major power (read: zero consequences). The data they would receive from this is extremely sensitive, and therefore lucrative. At the very least, their government would be interested in this information and they would be a good target for such interest simply because of their size and severely lacking ethical compass.

All these things taken together means it is not crazy to imagine that this is the case. If it is not the case currently, we have to assume it will be the case soon and that when it does become the case, historic data is still available. They are therefore always a bad choice.
I don't see the similarity. If we go from blind people suffering from not having access to the audio transcription, to everybody suffering from not having access to either the audio or video (because all the videos were taken down), isn't that a lose-lose for everybody? In worker protection at least the workers win from having more safety.
Yes, we're in agreement that it's not acceptable to trade sexual assault for intellectual engagement... and I'm not sure there's a large advocacy group in favor of such a perverse system to begin with.

My original point, which I still stand behind, is that the internet has not proven itself capable of actually fully meeting people's intellectual needs but instead often provides the illusion of doing so. It is not unlike the difference between doing work (meeting an actual need) vs being busy (the feeling of achievement without actually achieving).

> But lambdas are containers.

Nope. Technically they're MicroVMs, based on KVM not LXC. They're an isolation tech but containers aren't the only isolation tech (which is really the whole point of this discussion).

Firecracker runs on Intel CPUs. 2 layers.

There is no canonical answer to that question. Compilers wary wildly in implementation details.
It’s an argument that is as old as the hills and relies on the assumption that the body functions like a simple furnace, which of course is false.

Metabolic rates vary significantly, and rates of absorption of nutrients and consumption of energy vary a lot as a result of factors such as inflammation and endocrine function.

Calories in/calories out may still ultimately be true when you boil it down far enough, but the factors influencing and intervening in those processes are vastly complex and strongly affected by diseases and dysfunctions that are very common.

Thyroid disorder (which can include cancer or a precursor condition) is probably the most common/known, but just one of many.
The article picks a "strangely thrilling Beethoven’s Fifth — strange, because tiny details spring out of what sounds like a big band" recorded by Peter Eotvos.

This might also be said of the John Eliot Gardiner version[1] Performed on period instruments, which seems to expose detail, it flies through the first movement at the hard rockin' tempo of 108 bpm as per Beethoven's score - a refreshing change of pace if you're more used to lugubrious conventional performances.

One trick I don't remember the source of that I've used to great effect over the years is:

- take a list of tasks you're procrastinating on

- set a timer for five minutes

- do just five minutes on task one. Then stop, and do the next, even if you were enjoying the first one

- keep cycling over until you've unblocked them all

U.S. Fears Losing Innovation Edge over China. New Data Shows Why
I doubt it. Needing to zero ultra large chunks of memory often enough that you care about performance to this extent is a very niche scenario. If I had to guess, Java probably just zeroes the memory upon garbage collecting it or before handing it back out; fresh pages from the OS are already zeroed.

But anything is possible. Maybe some big customer used this pattern and now Java detects it and does something fancy like what I suggested. But really, this is an unusual scenario for an application.
The quotes are sexy but I don't see how they boil down to anything more than finger wagging. It's easy in situations like this to focus on the force mutiplier effect of technologies and from that blame technologists for participating when evil governments do evil things. But what good does this outlook actually do? It starts by isolating the professional group that's being appealed to, it forces them into a union of engineers, or doctors, or phsycologists, or whatever the topic may be. But these groups historically have never been in amazing positions to rebel alone.

Of course comfortable democracies can say what people in evil-land should do if evil-king asks for their help. But where were these same sorts of people to stand beside missile scientists and biologists in WW2? If the people elect Nazis and tolerate Nazi endeavors then no single group of professionals is going to be strong enough to resist the regime on their own. There needs to be some kind of doctrine of mutual cross-disciplinary support ready to politically pre-empt the situation.

Even in the modern environment the same applies. What real value is finger wagging if the government is still allowed to throw grotesque sums of money at contracts for evil-tech? With enough time the money wins out every time.

I don't have an ADHD diagnosis, but I struggle with procrastination.

Does it help you at all to have external recipients of your work, or does it not factor in at all in what gets done?

It helps me if I tell someone else "I'll send you the report today", because it makes me more accountable. I'll probably delay it until panicking at the end of the day, but I will at least hammer something out and send it off. Or worst case finish it tomorrow morning, after having started, but having to leave work the day before, which is still better than postponing even longer.

For me to do tasks, I need to reach the "Screw quality and completeness, I need to send _something_!", which usually turns out to be plenty good enough based on feedback. I just need to find someone to promise sending the result to for my more important tasks.

in the extremes, neither of approaches work, if you are just fighting yesterday's bugs or paralised by choice and perfecction, both are bad ideas.

FHIR is nice but doesn’t completely reduce the complexity of integrating the underlying data itself considering the mess that is HL7 and mess that occurred with v3.

I have believed this to be the case for many laws and regulations, and people's corresponding actions in all scope of modern living.

Offshoring personal "rights and wrongs" by scapegoating 'against' a law ("well, it isn't illegal!") Or regulation.

This also leads for obvious abuses. When there are books of "lines in the sand", hard statements and conditions, it only takes a dedicated and we'll resources group/company/individual to work around those rules, while the normal person* cannot likely do the same.

Speaking as somebody who lost a loved one this way ... it's very hard on the family. I often wonder about my father's last moments ... did he know what was happening? Did he have any regrets, or any last things he wanted to say to people?

There are plenty worse ways to go, but it's not something I'd like to inflict on my family if I had the choice.
