> Why would anyone (who is not forced) buy an Intel PC laptop when these are available and priced as competitive as they are?

as a power user I will not be touching anything apple ARM until all my hundreds of software apps are certified to work exactly the same as on x86_64. i will not rely on rosetta to take care of this. i need actual testing.

besides this, 8GB of RAM is how much a single instance of chrome uses. i run 3 chrome instances, 2 firefox and 2 safari. and this is just for web.

this could be a good time to jump the apple ship. it's pretty clear their focus is not their power users' focus.

as such i was looking into a lenovo thinkstation p340 tiny.
you can configure it with 64gb ram and core i9 with 10 cores and 20 threads for less $$$ than what an underpowered 6 core mac mini is selling for.
YouTube music is terrible. I have no idea who the target market is supposed to be. It mixes in the subset of YouTube that is music, but not all of it, and stripped of YouTube context such as comments.

Tumor treating fields (TTF), is a type of electromagnetic field therapy using low-intensity, intermediate frequency electrical fields to treat cancer. Novocure's TTF is approved in the US and EU for the treatment of glioblastoma (Brain cancer).

Here TTF is applied to mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops from mesothelium, the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs. The most common area affected is the lining of the lungs and chest wall.

Despite earning regulatory approval, the efficacy of this technology remains controversial among medical experts.
As this is a technology forum I wonder what insights HNers would share about this technology?

Yes, maybe that’s where my confusion sits. If I take a bunch of music and put together a playlist and post it on, say YouTube or my own site, that is perfectly fine?
Web was always about backwards compatibility. You should be able to contact with HTTP web server deployed in 1995 from modern web browser.

Server push is different, because it's supposed to be an invisible optimization, so it could be dropped without anyone noticing. But most things are not invisible.
you do realize that you could (have?) import all google music files to youtube music. Then you have a tab saying "own content" or so and all mp3s are still there and you could listen to them via yt music the same as you could before
I think I'll wait until some real world testing can provide definitive results. I would be very happy if these results translate, I just don't believe they Intel and AMD engineers are so inferior to Apples that Apple could pull this off with a known CPU architecture without some smoke and mirrors.
>> "While we haven't received more than a handful of DMCA notifications targeting in-game music, if you're playing games with recorded music in them, we recommend you review their End User License Agreements (that wall of text at the beginning of a game) to see how the terms cover streaming with that music," Twitch said.

-- Does it mean it is unsafe playing a game under the risk of infringing DMCA rules? They received a few notifications already, what means you are always in risk.

There are enough people who do not want to deal with MacOS and Darwin regardless the hardware specs.

Also the way of least friction is usually to use whatever the rest of your team uses. There are even relevant differences in Docker for MacOS vs Docker for Linux that make cross platform difficult (in particular thinking about host.docker.internal, but there are certainly more). Working with C/C++ is another pain point for cross platform, which already starts with Apples own Clang and different lib naming conventions.

Going away from x86 makes this situation certainly not better.
I've been using this for a little over a year and like it a lot but it lacks the music discovery features of commercial platforms (which becomes important when you have terabytes of music) and takes a lot of effort to organize music and create play lists. The music onboarding process typically starts with organizing metadata with Musicbrainz Picard then import the collection into Funkwhale's DB via a cli admin tool. I have funkwhale hosted at home attached to my own music collection. There is an unofficial mobile client called Otter that makes listening to music on Android very pleasent. Admin overhead aside, this program has become a part of my daily life and I greatly appreciate the developers efforts.
While it sounds promising, I'm going to wait for some additional benchmarks and real world usage scenarios; factors like cooling, multi-process work, and of course suboptimal applications (browsers, Electron apps, stuff compiled for Intel) will be a big factor as well.

That said, it's promising and I'm really curious to see where this development will lead to in a few years' time.
yt music can play without the screen on. at least on android
I have a friend whose girlfriend and him felt that way until a recent experience.

They were applying for jobs in the same place, same people interviewing them etc. People didnt know they were dating.

When they found out he was partnered, they treated it very seriously, as if they were in a committed relationship, deserving of protection etc. When they found out she was partnered, it was different, he was just a boyfriend of who knows what status etc.

They decided to get married after that experience.

As others have noted, the purpose of marriage is to protect the relationship, but what that really means is protecting each other. In some cases this means ensuring equity of treatment.

Similar cases have shown up with COVID. Every couple of months this year I've listened to news stories about couples dealing with cross border restrictions on being able to see each other. The last one included a couple who had been together for years and were despairing about the fact that protections of border crossing only extended to married couples. I'm not suggesting judgement should be cast on them for not being married, as that's between them, but it's another example of how representing the significance of the relationship to the state can have consequences.
I've read a lot of discussion about "app barriers", but there's a general confusion about how such a "wall breaking" dream would work.

We say that there are barriers to application because only the enterprise has the ability to develop applications, and this unbalanced entry barrier is the source of the world Wide Web's inequity.

Applications are for the profit of enterprises, so only enterprises will build applications according to their own needs and profits. This is the core issue of web2.0, and also the key to the optimization of the future network.

That means enabling everyone to build applications that suit their needs and profits with the help of Internet tools.

So, if we go back to the basics, decentralizing data is not the point, and enabling everyone to build value scenarios with the help of the Internet is the real problem facing the Internet upgrade.

When we have a clear purpose, all discussions and actions make sense!

Only around the goal, all the streams will join a big river, and run to the sea!

So how can we empower individuals to build value scenarios?

1. A modular front-end UI design

The modular front end can create all the value scenarios in the world.

2. Create a network of power and stakeholders for everyone

All the benefits and administrative rights of the application must belong to the owner. Enterprises naturally have this management structure in the current network, while the network power and interest subjects applicable to everyone need to be redesigned.

The design is simple, we just need to create a concept of "scene" on the network, the scene is the basic beneficiary of all management and money power.

3. Place the new structure in a scenario where it can empower

For enterprise applications, the best scenario is the application market, while for individuals, the best scenario is their own life scene, is all the social scene, business scene, residential scene.
>charts going up is the most important thing in the modern IT apparently

that's just business and economics, isn't it? Like how an economy (GDP) always has to grow, regardless.
Let’s start with number one. By this, I mean the act of publicly posting music for others to listen to for free without paying the artist.

Edit: You have since edited your comment but let’s still start there.
First of all, mathematics is not about T/F. Think of the axiom of choice, the law of excluded middle, the axiom of inaccessible cardinals, etc.

For the second, understanding why and actually proving something can be related but they're not equivalent. Of course, the intuitive ideas can lead to the right formal technicalities but it is not always the case.

There are two aspects of mathematical proofs-communication of ideas and formal verification. Confusing these distinction can be dangerous and this is why mathematicians led to the area of type theory and formal proofs.

Voedovsky, you can google him to find who he was, lost his faith in "human proof checking" after some error on his peer-reviewed and published result was accidentally discovered after years of nobody doubting its validity.

He dreamed of the world where people do and enjoy mathematics freely leaving the boring parts to computers like mathematicians in nowadays don't worry about how their writing will be published and communicated. What we do is write a proof and leave actual typesetting to the computer. It's called (La)TeX.

What you're saying is like claiming this program is correct because its logic is correct without ever knowing whether the code itself would get compiled or not. More extremely, there's no value for having more and more pseudocodes that we don't know they'll ever terminate or not.
Yes, though waves hands machine learning can in principle be used to create a proof-generator from a proof-checker.
Why would you have any of this tightly coupled to your model?

Set up a separate API gateway, which covers all your points (REST endpoints, monitoring, security) - there's plenty of off-the-shelf options. Route authenticated requests to the backend that runs your model.
It's not a limitation in hardware. It's a legacy feature of the x86 that isn't supported on ARM.

This could be solved by the GPU engineers by removing the legacy compatibility. "Nobody" boots a modern PC from BIOS anymore

That's pretty rude. People are single for all sorts of reasons that don't make them "defective".
As others have said. There is nothing inherently illegal about the software. As long as you are licensed to share the music you host in the instance there is nothing illegal going on.

Though the RIAA might see it differently, as they have with other open-source software in the past (ref the recent DMCA takedown requests of youtube-dl GitHub repositories). They might argue the software is designed for copyright infringement and as such should be blocked.
Does GitHub Sponsors compromise open source?
To be fair, I have used the feature exactly once, but something didn't feel right afterwards. I dont want payment systems where I am doing something whose essence is not about getting paid. There are separate services where we can donate to developers if we'd like to, and developers who are seeking contributions can easily find and leverage those and link to them. Once the dominant open source hosting and sharing service financially inserts itself between its community of contributers, it becomes their financial interest to make more transactions happen between said contributers, and its easy to see GitHub becoming a payment system first instead of an open source community first. Private repos made sense; Sponsors sends chills down my spine about the future of GitHub and open source in general.

Plasma Mobile update: October 2020
Yes, internet has been boring for me as well in the last couple of years! I think SEO is to blame as well.. For instance, if I search something like “avoid pressure to succeed”, search engines return lots of blog posts like “why millenials feel more pressure to succeed”, “dealing with pressure to succeed in high school”, etc. etc., but none of those are real first-person experiences..

It took me some time to notice that I wasn’t getting anything out of these web searches, so now I look for things such as “avoid pressure to succeed hacker news” so I can read first-person experiences from comments in hn.

Basically, hacker news is the only website that I still think I can get something out of it.

For things like programming languages, I believe that it’s better to find the best 1/2 books and read them instead of disjoint blog posts..
Didn’t Dropbox do something similar but at the time (2011) I believe, it was 2gb but unlimited.

Still, to this day in 2020, I receive quarterly emails of them threatening to close my account (next month they say)...and not provide access, which is fine because... I went over their limit with half .mic 4K movie blob of Avatar (or blue ray or whatever), since my ps3 ran out of space.
1. Follow all the technical and payment processing advice in that thread.

2. Mask your voice, change your vocabulary, don't talk about yourself or any other identifiable individuals.

3. Point 2 especially will ensure that no one ever listens to your podcast which provides the highest possible level of anonymity.

"When something vanishes, most of the time it is because no one cares about it anymore"

Plenty of music that I listen to is not available at all on Spotify. Some of entries will never be there (for example, I have some private recordings of music done with my family).

Some cases are not economically viable to be published, but it is not the same as "no one cares about it".
This is exactly the article I come to Hacker News for.

It's true that the software field is bad at what it does. When someone makes a truly secure piece of software, they get a PhD and repeatedly make the HN front-page. [0]

It's not just a matter of writing code with no bugs, though. As I mentioned this another comment, [1] voting is unusual as we must be confident in the correctness of the count, and confident that it's not possible to prove whether a particular person voted a particular way. There's also a trust issue: with a digital system, a single corrupt official will likely be able to do far more damage to the vote than with a paper-based system. Even if the system is somehow structured to resist this, public trust might still be less than in a paper-based system.

There are gargantuan unseen costs for giving up computing freedom that will not readily apparent at the moment you abandon it. The benefit will be shown as much more than "ostensible". I do hope for both of our sakes that most people are not so fickle to abandon it at first opportunity just because it is not an immediate cost.
Smalltalk did not have the ?/! delineation that GP is specifically talking about. Not that Ruby used it consistently (it was largely just for enumerators e.g. Array#push rather than Array#push!).
Since the pitch keeps referring to Firebase, I thought I might as well mention this here: a while ago I built an encryption layer for the Firebase RTDB at https://github.com/Reviewable/firecrypt. It's not nearly as nice as Etsebase appears to be, but if you're already committed (cough locked in cough) to Firebase then it will get you a good chunk of the way there. (And yes, I still actively use and maintain it.)
I was curious; 13.3 inch screen with light and touch screen for $1099 (https://dasung-tech.myshopify.com/products/dasung-e-ink-pape...) (without it's $999).

Pricey, small and really not the best design, but it's a start. I say it's a start but at the same time I'm afraid this is the best we're likely to get, given that the e-ink market is not growing and the technology isn't competing with cheap LCD screens and tablets.

A shame; I wouldn't mind a modern, affordable take on the typewriter with an E-ink screen (13 or 15 inch) and mechanical keyboard. I could probably build one if I have a lot more expendable income and time.

I created https://nostashapp.com exactly to have a fast note-taking app with search.

Is no-where close to the completeness (and complexity) of Notion, it works as WYSIWYG editor, no Markdown.

But it is very fast (hosted in Europe but underneath does basically nothing), with search, free if you don't want to pay, and it will stay since I host my personal notes on it.
Note that much of this content is there in the form of "entertainment". Like Veritasium, extremely well made videos with the "feel smart for some minutes" format that others use too, like smartereveryday. It's just that, entertainment.

It's not really for free. People making these videos are getting paid.

One thing I do appreciate is universities streaming their classes, on Youtube or other means. Of course, it's not that I will become an astrophysicist by just watching videos.
Exactly.

One fun exception I had was building a climbing frame in our garden, with a swing and slide. Took literally days, had to reorder parts, go shopping for tools.

But, it was just before lockdown, and even playgrounds were closed where we live, so in the long run it was a life-saver.

It helped that I did it when the granny came to visit...
If you make a margin on dates you book then isn't your optimal strategy to get people on dates that won't turn into relationships? That way they keep booking dates?

"In the beginning, there was Whisper. Whisper was part of the holy trinity of Ethereum. You had Ethereum for consensus/computation, Whisper for messaging, and Swarm for storage.

However, for various reasons, Whisper didn’t get the attention it deserved. Development dwindled, it promised too much and it suffered from many issues, such as being extremely inefficient and not being suitable for running on e.g. mobile phone. Despite this, Status used it in its app from around 2017 to 2019. As far as I know, it was one of very few, if not the only, production uses of Whisper.

In an effort to solve some of its immediate problems, we forked Whisper into Waku and formalized it with a proper specification. This solved immediate bandwidth issues for light nodes, introduced rate limiting for better spam protection, improved historical message support, etc."
Wow, very neat!

What is your point even? The Mac mini isn’t really a desktop because it shares its chip with some of their mobile devices? When and where has that ever been the criterion for desktop PCs?
> 100MB of RAM but that's like $5

No one is getting a 100 MB of ram extra for anything.

But yeah I don't blame electron here. Have build electron apps and apart from the initial load time everything is mostly under devs control.
This depends on both the music in question and your jurisdiction. There is nothing inherent about "music" that makes it illegal to share it with others. Is it Taylor Swift or something your friend recorded? It makes a big difference.

This is a tool to satisfy the use case of sharing music with others. Sometimes such sharing will be illegal, but at other times it won't.
