Thanks for your feedback! We felt that this storyline / length was best in order to showcase the two different actor's artificial voices and build up to the actual cry.

As you've mentioned, we do work with real actors to create our TTS and take misuse of their (artificial) voices very seriously. Because they sound so lifelike, we've made the decision not to allow public access/personal use at this time.

Lastly, your assessment is spot on regarding standard vs custom voices. Lots of interest for both!

I doubt anyone enjoys targeted advertising. Any slim benefits it brings comes with the huge disadvantage of mass emotional manipulation for political ends.

Upvoting is a difficult one. Undoubtedly it's enjoyable. But given enough money and time any private or public organisation can game it for the same political ends.

If you can use targeted mass advertising to play on people's fears or give the illusion of group acceptance, then you have an incredibly powerful tool, and especially so in a democracy.
My blog still technically exists, though I haven't posted in several years. It lives on an instance of wordpress hosted by pair.com. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "hosting their own blog", but I own the domain name, so I could move it somewhere else if I ever wanted to.

Look at the bigger picture. In today's immensely innovative world there will almost certainly be a vaccine or anti-viral or some effective treatment within a year or two.

The goal for those of us who are lucky enough (in normal times it can be a curse) to live on an island is not to hide out forever - it's to hide out until that treatment is available.

Something I've been thinking about during lockdown is that, while we are for the most part staying at home when possible, if you get sick, you only have, maybe, 4 or 5 contacts to trace, on average. If we release lockdown, the number of average contacts to trace goes way way up.
>And idiots will continue parroting this exact line as billions of people are dying. Exactly the same way idiots are protesting social distancing, lockdowns, and mask wearing in US right now

There is no purpose to have a discussion when your thinking is so narrowly black and white. Your worldview doesn't seem to allow for the shades of grey necessitated by uncertainty.

If all skepticism was met with the same belittling as climate science, we'd still be stuck in the dark ages. Don't think it's possible for an institution of sciences to be very wrong for a very long time about a very important topic? Look at the forces that caused us to fruitlessly pursue the amyloid plaque hypothesis for decades.

Consensus has a strong normalizing effect, but that does not necessarily mean that a given consensus is correct.

Anyway I'm being rate limited by sanctimonious downvoters so this conversation is effectively over.

Edit: by the way, with respect to the lockdown controversy, did you hear about the atrocious academic modeling code that informed the lockdown policy? A single 15k line C file which, among other things, does not seed random number generation and cannot be reproduced. So bad that I just found there's an entire website dedicated to a teardown[0]! But I'm an "idiot" for showing skepticism. Do you think climate modeling code is any better? Have you worked with academic code? I have. It's universally bad. But, again, I'm an "idiot" for expressing any degree of skepticism.

You're totally right, but the Firefox popover indicating what's going wrong doesn't go with some of the designs I make. On a bootstrap-based design I much prefer bootstrap-style error messages which are easy to do with Javascript, and the same is true for Material-based designs.

I do think that people generally overlook the built-in form validation though, and I like to use them as a fallback for Javascriptless environments to ensure everyone can get proper validation.

> Blogs ... show up easily in search results if a post matches a relevant query.

No, they don't. This comes down to two main changes in how Google operates: 1) Google no longer respects search operators so that users can get fine-grained results, and 2) Google has chosen to progressively delist old content, even if many blog posts from the early millennium remain just as relevant today because no one has posted at length on the subject in the years since.

Thus, people are unable to find a great deal of content through Google even if they search for the exact strings which appear in those posts. You might see some blogs in search results, but they are a miniscule representation of the whole blog ecosystem.
I know you don't need to laugh to think something is funny but to most people observing you that's the measure needed.

I think you need to re-read the whole article. Literally the next paragraph explains something relevant. Take the latest controlled study conducted in rhesus macaques infected with SARS-CoV-2: After remdesivir was administered intravenously, GS-441524 was present in serum samples at concentrations 1,000-fold greater than remdesivir. Upon completion of the study, the researchers found that only GS-441524 — not remdesivir — was detected in the macaques’ lungs, yet they exhibited no signs of respiratory disease, significantly reduced viral loads, and a distinct reduction in damage to lung tissue. Such results reinforce those obtained from a prior study, also in macaques, and data from other species that GS-441524 exhibits strong antiviral activity.

The active agent in the bloodstream from both drugs is GS-441524 triphosphate. The 3-step pro-drug GS-441524 releases more into the bloodstream than remdesivir.

remdesivir takes 5 steps to make. GS-441524 takes 3 steps. Upstream means closer to the source. Something which takes 3 steps is upstream of something which takes 5 steps, because it is closer to the source.

You have completely inverted the sense of the article. Remdesivir is downstream (5 not 3 steps) of GS-441524 and remdesivir releases less not more of the triphosphate.

I didn't say that inheritance hierarchies are bad. They're great... if you've got entities that are actually in a hierarchy. I've used a hierarchy in a genetic programming situation, with a Statement being the base class, and a number of derived classes that implemented the available instruction set, with a virtual execute() method. It worked great... for that problem.

If you're having a hierarchy just to have a hierarchy, that's about as wise as having gotos just to have gotos. Nobody sane would do that today; maybe we'll get there with hierarchy, too.

I'm not sure what your definition of "data-oriented design" is, so it's hard for me to say how OO is different. I'll take a stab at it anyway, but know in advance that my response may be orthogonal to your question.

You've got data - say, data about a book, in the original example. In the structured programming days, that would be an "entity"; now it's an "object". The difference is that, with private methods, nobody can modify the book's data just by having a reference or a pointer to it. (You could kind of do this in C with a source file that would operate on the structure, and some of the methods being file static. But that doesn't keep any other code that has a .h file from modifying the structure without using the functions.)

The philosophical difference with OO might be that OO uses the compiler to enforce that data is only accessed in approved ways. This is a logical extension of static typing. (Of course, for non-static-typed OO languages, it doesn't happen that way. They enforce it at runtime.)
Exactly this. It's annoying but also not as intractable as it sounds. NASA has a similar requirement for mission critical software operating under strict constraints.

> Even on systemd systems you can still install all your old tools and sidestep the systemd approach.

That's not true. The overwhelming majority of people who want to avoid systemd have said this is not realistically possible. I have enjoyed my time without systemd because I switched distros. There's a reason why Devuan never took off, and Void Linux is gathering a following. Systemd has integrated itself too far.

>> Here, Lennart explicity stated he was using non-overt methods to force cohesion in a non-organic fashion, which to me indicates he valued his design over good design.

> I didn't get that at all, the post you linked explicitly mentioned discouraging distros that deviate from the base setup for senseless reasons.

You talked right past what I said. Again,

> it's their own job to disable our [mechanism] and plug in their own instead. Sooner or later they'll hopefully notice that it's not worth it and cross-distro unification is worth more.

He's explicitly doing this for cross-distro unification, and he is intentionally forcing it through by making things difficult for distro maintainers.
We don't have evidence due to disease being so new, but there's enough reason to suspect we'll develop at least short term neutralizing immunity.

But yes, caution is necessary. We don't have enough evidence to push forward a national strategy that's based on people developing immunity without a vaccine.

Here's WHO's statement on this matter:

https://www.who.int/news-room/commentaries/detail/immunity-p...

"Herd immunity" without a vaccine, as a strategy, is equivalent with doing nothing and let the virus wreak havoc on the population.

To be fair, the app was released at the tail end of the infection curve so there wasn't much pandemic to affect anymore. Could be useless, but I don't think this was a good test to generalize with.

I feel similarly to this author. A few weeks ago, I built a small tool that surfaces submitted blogs to a "Ask HN" thread.

No, it would be a lesser advantage. Patents are only useful to large companies, because filing them and suing is an expensive and complex process. For small companies, a patent is not that useful because the larger company can afford to steamroll them in court.

RSS feeds are still widely generated, but they are not encouraged and overt links to them have been removed. I know that many proprietors of monetized blogs keep RSS feed generation turned on because they think it is important for SEO, but they don't want readers using it because it clashes with their monetization strategy -- users are supposed to be drawn straight to the main website where they can then be upsold through popup modals and shit. I recall one blog where even mentioning in the comments feed that you subscribe to the site through RSS would lead to a permaban.

Excuse the incivility, but no. SARS-CoV-2 is not a strain or type of SARS-CoV. The viruses share ancestors, but SARS-CoV-2 did not come directly from SARS-CoV. SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 are in the category of beta coronaviruses[0].

> but when you look there's nothing to read

I don't get it. When was the last time you looked?

There's more good stuff to read online than you could ever read. There are probably even more blogs than ever before, blogs just don't have the same slice of the pie that they once did.

Seems like when people complain there's nothing good to watch anymore. I suspect that they are so accustomed to having so much material to watch that they confuse their lack of looking for lack of content as they're so used to the next thing to do served to them by recommendation engines.

In other words, this just sounds like another "ugh nothing is good" circlejerk, a subject unfortunately destined for upvotes on HN.
A mathematician's (or, at least, this mathematician's) instinctive response to a paper titled "Against set theory" is to think that it must be the work of a crank (not to disparage the work of reputable mathematicians exploring alternative foundations—but I think that most of them know that, to earn their ideas a receptive foundation, they had better focus at least on what they are for rather than what they are against), but it should probably be noted that this is against set theory from a philosopher's point of view, not a mathematician's. (With which I can't quibble, though neither can I agree; I am no philosopher, and the fact that mathematics can be used fruitfully in philosophy doesn't mean that it always should.) Indeed, at a skim, the complaint seems to be much more about the mathematisation of philosophy broadly speaking, rather than about the encroachment of set theory in particular.

(I also take issue with the claim on p. 3 that Cauchy was doing only unconscious set theory. It is true that he came before what we might call Cantor's formalisation of the subject, but I think he probably thought in something much closer to a modern "naïvely set theoretic" way about mathematics than almost all o his predecessors.)
Reddit is almost unreadable now, though. You have to click and click and click to expand things, and be careful not to click on the wrong thing which will take you to a different topic.

I much, much, much prefer Reddit when it was more like HN, back when HN was modelled after Reddit & Digg. Today, any time I see a Reddit link, I exit immediately after I've gotten whatever information I require - and even that is rare.
I think it was welcomed with open arms by less experienced devs because it made code easier to compile, and rightly so. C++'s compiler messages are off-putting.

For others, it was worrisome because it made code easier to compile, and rightly so. If it complies it doesn't mean it's correct.

Fair enough. I'm not really much of a gamer.

One of the other challenges with using outside voice talent is that it can be inconvenient/expensive when you need to add/change something. I've been involved with podcasts using an external host and one of the negatives with that process is that if you discover a minor mistake/glitch in the narration late in the process you can't easily fix it.

This is the theorical argument, but in practice when is the last time you encountered 20 identical pieces? DRY is so prevalent that pushing just 2 identical pieces is now rare in my experience. Professionally 99% of my code is used exactly once in one place. I’m not a library or framework developer, I don’t want component by default, I just want to implement a business rule in the most simple, robust and understandable way.

The FPGA Manager in K4.9 and K4.14 worked fine to fully manage a single FPGA through multiple configuration cycles through both the sysfs and the configfs interfaces.

On a system with multiple FPGAs, FPGA Manager would fully manage any one of them, as long as it was the first device it probed. The second probe would partially fail after creating nodes on sysfs, and a third probe would crash the kernel.

For that particular system, the upstream vendor hasn't rolled out K4.19 support yet. My initial impression of the FPGA Manager code in 4.19 is that this may be fixed (that an FPGA Manager looks to be allocated per driver instead of one global singleton) but I haven't backported it for testing yet.

I think the interfaces FPGA Manager are well designed, its seems to be adequately expressive for even exotic uses, but I would love to see the implementation mature a bit.
