> I guess so, but I'd kind of prefer to be able to do everything I want in safe mode.

Different people have different needs and want to do different things. It is impossible to satisfy everyone's needs – "do everything I want in safe mode" – both from a practical perspective (the language and the compiler would become incredibly complex and therefore buggy) as well as from a theoretical perspective (you would solve the halting problem, among other impossible feats).
Great visualization, great UI, I will share it extensively.
It would be great to also get a layer with locations of all major power stations/plants and information on their yearly capacity factors.
Try ats[1]. It lets you prove safety for a lot of the places where you would need to resort to unsafe in rust.

On the topic of ice cream trucks and monopolies, has anybody else seen the South Pico Armored Ice Cream Truck?

My best guess is that Los Angeles hands out its popsicle man contract to a single vendor with the caveat that they are required to serve the entire city, not just the profitable bits. That way every kid can get a fudgecicle on a sunny day.

That's the only way I can explain what I saw in the neighborhood south of Pico, near Little Ethiopia, where Mo' Betta Meaty Meat Burgers used to be.

Now if you don't know the area, there are a whole bunch of really cool houses dating back to around the time the movie Snow White came out, many with whimsical little turrets and minarets like little fairy tale castles. It's a pleasant neighborhood to walk around for an afternoon.

North of Pico, that is.

Immediately South, the lawns grow knee high, bars appear on windows, and the walkability declines... significantly. Mortally, perhaps. But there are houses there that could conceivably house children. So the Ice Cream must flow.

And one day in July, I saw what was clearly an Ice Cream truck, but with steel grill plates welded over all the windows with a little slot cut out with a torch that could theoretically be used to pass an ice cream sandwich through. That is, were it not weaving along at 45 miles an hour (playing its jolly tune as stipulated in the contract), then careening around a corner on two wheels to high tail it out of there.

It was the missing scene from Mad Max. The ice cream man of the apocolypse.

10 years later, I'm starting to doubt whether I really saw it.

But I did.
But these third parties already have a bad reputation concerning these issues. Problems like sensitivity readers are an example. The issues wouldn't be racism, it would quickly extend to businesses lacking sensitivity, whatever that would entail. It would lead to insatiable demands while reducing diversity of opinion.
Sure, for every individual American cyclist that may be sensible and rational. But I'm afraid that collectively it could trap them in a bad equilibrium, where bike-infrastructure improvement are seen by the larger public as benefits for a narrow interest group.
No and I wonder if you could really manage to use it when pinned by tons of snow.
I am an embedded software dev and Rust would fit my job well, but I see what you are saying. However, embedded is not all for Rust and not all embedded is done by EEs. Systems programming goes from bare metal up to things like browsers and databases...
> whether we can maintain a stable political environment for the decades/hundred years required to responsibly take care of nuclear.

And if that's not the case then what do you think will happen to the other programs critical in keeping climate change at bay? Taken to its ultimate conclusion this line of thinking leads to analysis paralysis, i.e. to shut down our government and do nothing. Which may be good thinking; especially for government policy likely full of unintended consequences. I don't think this should stop perfectly good technology from being developed and built out though. Or for the government to effectively kneecap it via regulation so restrictive it's tantamount to a ban, as the US has done with nuclear power.

> Nuclear is amazing and could solve all of our short term energy needs, but it's ultimately people and our political structures that I don't trust, not the science.

I agree yet have drawn strikingly different conclusions. Nuclear development should be encouraged to proceed. Collectively we need to figure out how to incentivize the actors to behave safely without kneecapping their ability to do something.

Do you have any examples of competition leading to more honest advertisements? It seems to me that it mostly leads to a race to the bottom that just optimizes for hiding your dishonesty better.
The world is a mirror. If you invite people into yours and react in any way, they have a tiny slice of control over your day. You get infected by their negativity or positivity - that is what you mirror and put out and that is what comes back to you. So you need to be aware and in control of what you let in. The concept of the pendulum in reality transurfing. Voodoo, but helpful to me.

So if I'm being really mean: Many reviews serve only that purpose. It's not about the [thing]. It's about subtly influencing a life - yours. Narcissism, if you will, though much more subtle than usually understood and manipulative for sure. The critic puts himself above the creator, usually these days the critic has no hope in hell in creating anything equal, but gets to feel superior anyway. "I am not able to create a painting like da Vinci, I shall submit this pissoir."

Also if you are that hypersensitive: Look into avoidant personality disorder. And "Stalking the Soul" by Hirigoyen[1].

Yeah, Rust kinda has two crowds getting excited about it:

- low-level programmers looking for safer tools to wrangle big, beastly projects.

- high-level programmers looking over the fence because this is the first low-level language that has a bunch of quality-of-life features that are "table ante" for them considering working in a language (most of them only tangentially related to safety, although the safety's probably a huge leg up for them). One of these features of course is the language getting mainstream and survivable enough that they know there will be a long-running library ecosystem.

> You are also misrepresenting or misunderstanding dismantling of the police. It's not necessarily about using less resources in the neighborhoods, but about using them correctly.

How about this: if you don't want to dismantle something, then don't use the word dismantle. Perfectly good words already exist for what you suggest, such as reform.

If you say dismantle you should expect people to interpret it as its plain ordinary meaning: to take apart, to destroy, to get rid of, to make it not exist anymore.

I think it's more about public transport. In the UK at least everything would grind to a halt in cities if everybody moved from buses and trains to cars. There just isn't enough capcity so local government are doing whatever they can to avoid that.
Yes we are getting there but some countries are at the point of diminishing returns with current renewables. For example, Germany has to pay it's neighbours to receive peak generation.

Coming tech will improve that but we could get to carbon zero far quicker and cheaper with a mix of nuclear and renewables. One problem with nuclear is that safety concerns. However nuclear has caused less death than coal generation. It does require a huge capital investment but it pays for itself over the long run. Waste is an issue but it produces a tiny volume of waste compared to any other form of generation.

We could get rid of all current coal and gas plants and have power when it's required with nuclear. Until we have a better storage option the true can't be said of any renewables (unless you are lucky enough to have abundant geothermal options). With wind and solar you have too much during peak supply and too little during peak demand.

Even the article you linked states whole sale solar and batteries are not yet economically viable.

If there is a viable thermal storage option, I'm wrong but I've not heard about it. I would love to be wrong if that is the case.
This is what I do. Cost what $10 and took about 5 minutes. Well worth it.
> language and the compiler would become incredibly complex and therefore buggy

Ats[1] isn't in such bad shape. Its type system is much more complex, sure; idiomatic ats proves many interesting programming attributes that rust doesn't. But if you write ats in the same style as rust, the only additional complexity you'll notice is you have to manually drop.

> you would solve the halting problem, among other impossible feats

...what?

I don't see what the halting problem has to do it. Safe rust programs aren't required to halt; nontermination is safe, even if not necessarily desirable (like memory leakage, which is also allowed for the same reason).

Teen repellent! My school had one above the entrance.
Rust's type system is complicated for a reason. It makes explicit the reasoning that is necessary to allocate and access memory correctly without reference counting or garbage collection. Sure it is easier to start writing C but I believe it is overall faster to write and debug a Rust program because C requires additional sanitization and fuzzing to catch errors.

To quote Grissom from CSI: I've learned that sometimes you can go faster by going slow ;-)

We have that already, it's the native save format of the DAWs. But there we don't just dive into the specifics of audio, but also back to an analogy that's closer to software developers.

Bouncing a full track to stereo is a lot like compiling software into bytecode/assembly. You get something usable and distributable to end users that you can reverse only partially. Part of that is intended. Just as with proprietary software, the exact combination of synthesizers, instruments, plugins and settings are closely guarded secrets of musicians, mixing and mastering studios.

And just like in software, some of those "shaders" aka plugins are actually proprietary themselves and can cost multiple hundred dollars each — so redistributing the "source code" can be not just difficult but actually illegal or impossible.

As you see, the incentives generally aren't aligned towards this form of distribution.

Just like in software though, I think there's a set of people interested in actually distributing their source tracks, made with open source software — and IIRC, that's exactly what's happening here as the base of these source separation efforts!
I recently bought a couple of Alienware AW2521HFL monitors that are 8-bit IPS and do actually run at 240Hz. They don't even use FRC to achieve that 8-bit color! There's also the MSI MAG251RX which uses the same panel but adds FRC to get 10-bit color!

The downside to them is that they're 24.5" and 1920x1080. I'm ok with that because I paired them with my 34" 3440x1440 screen as side screens. However, it's a really low pixel density to use as a primary monitor.

That's the part that sucks. A nice 4k or 5k monitor like the LG Ultrafines will only do 60hz.

All that said, the Alienware screens seem expensive until you look at how much the other 240hz IPS screens cost. At the price, they also come with a nice 3 year warranty and a really good stand. The part that irritates me is they don't calibrate them. One was way off compared to the other, so I'm waiting on a warranty replacement just on the basis that I think that one is not going to be easy to correct.
Not very closely based on my personal experience. I am not sure that science needs more of the activities on your list.

Not quite so remote but another thoroughly fascinating island is Miquelon-Langlade, part of St. Pierre et Miquelon.

What's thoroughly fascinating about both St. Pierre and Miquelon is that it's the last remaining French territory in North America, and located right off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

It's the only place in North America where you actually spend Euros and the cars have EU license plates. The supermarkets sell authentic French wine and chocolate and will charge you for grocery bags, just like in Europe.

The vast majority (upwards of 90% I believe) of the 6000ish residents though live on the smaller island of St. Pierre. The nearby much larger island of Miquelon, and the attached island of Langlade to its south, are vastly barren with a very basic settlement that has 1 restaurant and 1 bakery. There are a couple of inns on it, and I managed to rent a bike from the one I stayed at, and used it to bike down to Langlade. A few photos from my trip:

https://dheera.net/photos/places/spm

The road to Langlade is actually very well-paved until the very end. It's a very nice road for biking, although a little terrifying hearing the waves crashing into the island on both sides, some wild horses, and no humans in sight:

I love exploring these "politically interesting" islands.

Another one I explored is the Matsu Islands which are very close to the coast of China but under control of the ROC (Taiwan) government. It's also a very interesting place. As a part of the ROC, it's littered with 7-Elevens. But due to the history of the place, its signs claim it to be a part of Fujian province, though Fujian under the ROC rather than Fujian under the PRC. (Not here to debate the politics, it's just what the local signs say.)

But these are both true. The problem is only if you assign a derogatory meaning to the word liability. If the company could provide the solution it does without a team, or with a smaller team, it would - the purpose of the company is to provide the solution, not feed team members. If we could get eggs without taking care of hens, we would - they're a pain to take care of and feed.

The moment you want to minimize something while still achieving your goals you know it's a liability. Do you want the same profits or solutions with a smaller team? Then the team is a liability. If team were an asset you'd be trying to hire a bigger team without any work for them to do. If you had the chance to double egg production with constant demand, you'd eat or kill half your hens. They're a liability.

That's the wrong analogy. Regulators aren't random spectators sitting in the stands, they are the referees. The better analogy would be if you were assigned to monitor the race for violations, and you discovered the winning horse had broken a rule. As the referee, your decision whether or not to enforce the rules has a direct impact on the results. Just so, if regulators choose not to act, they are picking the incumbents as the winners, whether or not that is ideal, best, legal or good.
That is correct.

The original poster was saying that generally cults will be rather unpleasant for most mid<->lower level members, but are pleasant for the people at the top (generally by extracting value from those lower-level members, whether it's labor, money, or sexual favors).

This seems a bit counterintuitive, of course - "if it's unpleasant, why the hell wouldn't they leave?". Usually cults have coercive tools that either make it difficult for someone to leave, or manage to brainwash them into believing they would be more unhappy outside of the cult.

I have a close friend that was once arrested for "cocaine possession", put in jail and had a $25,000 bail set.

It was Xanthan Gum. He was in culinary school and had split a bag of Bob's Red Mill (expensive for some young people) soup thickener with a friend that he wanted to experiment with. He had no prior record whatsoever.

Luckily, he was able to get out on OR only because about a dozen of us called the jail as soon as we heard, and spoke to the recognizance volunteer that happened to be on duty and he only spent the night on jail.

It took over three months for the DA's office to actually test the substance and drop the charges. If he hadn't been lucky enough to have quite a few highly motivated friends that knew the system in that city, he'd have stayed there the whole time.

For soup thickener.

Ask HN: What's a good way to estimate notes from music files
I'm trying to estimate what note is being played in an instrumental track. I'd tried to approach this problem with by splitting the track into its different instruments with open_unmix [0], and then using librosa pitch tracking [1], and then cleaned the results, but unfortunately, the midi came out totally unrecognizable. I thought about approaching this problem again when I saw the recent post on audio source separation [2], but that still only solves the problem of separating the vocals from the instrumental track and into separate instruments.

Is there a better/more state of the art method to pitch estimation than librosa's piptrack, or am I just using piptrack improperly?
