Which means shutting down the VPN, and exposing your hardware serial (the MAS app transmits this to Apple, along with your Apple ID) and true IP (which is equivalent to your city-level location) to Apple.

Not a great state of affairs.

You can take almost any deep learning task that we had 5 years ago, and we can train the same task about 1000x cheaper because of hardware improvements that are slowing down, and algorithmic improvements that don't seem to be slowing down. Jeff Dean had an overview article about it I think.

Also many people forget that we have working self driving cars on the road, 20 years ago nobody thought that it would happen so fast.

You beat me to mentioning the sheer size of those libraries. If they reside on multi TB SSDs connected via Thunderbolt, taken along for the tour, i can easily imagine, that a Mac mini would a good solution. Apple embraced Thunderbolt early, it was even exclusive to them IIRC. If i were responsible for playing those sounds, i would want one stable platform too, instead of several diverging implementations on standard pc hardware and the fun (/s) that i'd have (drivers, windows updates etc...).

I remember working with some Windows 7 setups and having to deal with stuff like WASAPI Drivers and ASIO4All, having to daisy chain MIDI through the out on synths (which introduced jitter) because there is only one system MIDI in and out, etc. Perhaps there was a way to get these things working smoothly, but on the Mac all this stuff just worked out of the box. My situations were probably edge cases in terms of how much gear was connected to a single computer, but still.

I think you're right that legacy, mindshare/knowledge etc played a big part in it, and I'm sure Windows is much better with this stuff now. Although the handful of studios I've been to in the last few years were still running Macs, but again maybe that's just mindshare.

A funny thing I realized recently while trying to setup OBS for video conferencing on my Mac at home (I work as a teacher occasionally): There is no way out of the box to capture system audio, you either need to do it through external hardware or use a hacky solution like Loopback. On Windows, this "just works".
I installed the yellow dog build, it was terrible because there was only 256mb of ram available for general use, and no low-level hardware access to video acceleration.

People complain about this like it was so awful they removed this feature, but TBH it was terrible and only designed so they could get around tariffs in some countries by calling it a computer rather than a videogame console.
I actually disagree with you on this front (that corp behaviour cannot be judged on a moral/immoral scale) but the argument is too long to type out. And in any case it doesn't matter since we agree on the part that matters (there is no justification yet provided for Amazon's actions to be judged immoral).

Exactly. And also one of the main reasons why we don't see "blockchain" getting into the mainstream products. If consumers don't understand the true benefit (or even requirement) of it, it won't work. It's really tough to convince consumers to replace soul trust with cryptography.
Adding to your last point.

From the opposite side, I learned Python after learning Ruby (and Javascript) and had a hard time with Python namely with scoping and lambdas.

I think if you care a lot about the philosophy behind Python (have one obvious way to do things, explicit over implicit) and the syntax, then you might have some difficulties picking up Ruby right away.

With that said, I think it's a very enjoyable language; Rails is still a very enjoyable ecosystem; and it works well for scripting especially if you're trying to write organized shell scripts.
This technique predated Animal Crossing, though.

Banjo-Kazooie [1] was the first game on the N64 to use what Animal Crossing terms "Animalese/Bebebese" [2], and their intention was never to build a TTS engine. The first Banjo was released in 1998, while Dobutsu no Mori (Animal Crossing) for N64 didn't come out until 2001.

Nintendo was definitely talking with Rareware at the time and they exchanged ideas and techniques on game engine design, platformer mechanics, etc. Interviews from the Rare side admitted this (I'll need to dig up some sources to include here).

I'm curious if Nintendo picked up the Animal Crossing Bebebese voices directly from Banjo-Kazooie.

I help out at Spain's largest LAN party every year, and run systems (not networking, but I work with those folks). One year we tried laying the fiber for the satellite switches in the troughs and leaving it there for next year. We laid extras for redundancy. Come next year, something like 30% of the fibers were dead and we even had places where both paths were dead and we had to patch up above ground.

Nope. Venues and especially the people who rent them can't be trusted with cabling. We now run our own every year, in an efficient combination of above ground and through the wiring troughs. We pull it out when we're done though. Only a couple things -the main internet feed, which is more robust, and the line that crosses halls- stay there to be reused (or fixed if necessary, groan).

To be clear, he is incentivized to dish out advice that is good for the investors. That is not always the same thing as good for the founders. A solid, sustainable, bootstrapped, slow-growth company is great for founders. But you won't find advice on how to do that. On the contrary, you'll often find it dismissed as "not a startup".
Another important distinction is that a company like Airbnb could be profitable overnight if it wanted to. It is choosing not to.
I am a big fan of BareTail and BareGrep when browsing and making sense of any very large set of log files.

I did some measurements recently with 3.0.0 RC1 compared to 2.1.0 based on https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet. Here are the results: http://software.rochus-keller.ch/are-we-fast-yet_crystal_rub.... Ruby 3.0 without JIT is factor 1.2 faster than Ruby 2.1.0; Ruby 3.0 with JIT is only factor 1.4 faster than Ruby 2.1.0. Crystal is about factor 20 faster.
How slow are you experiencing? For me, I think it rarely takes more than 2 or 3 seconds for the entire drive.

Great program, free, but I donated.
The most important thing is that you calm down, because you will just learn a lot of great stuff as a father. Also, first 3 months you will have to support your wife, take care of many thing and you will learn a lot of life lessons that you couldn't learn anywhere. Be less on the phone and in front of TV and take care of your sleep and mental rest (meditation). Look at it as the Life University, because since I got my first kid, I have learned so much about life that helped in business and in every other segment of being a human. Just relax and learn from everything. And whatever happens, be supportive to your wife, because if she is feeling well, with baby and you will be well.
That is what they hope to have improved by 3.1.

So far nothing has shown JIT will make Rails any faster. TruffleRuby is gaining ground inside Shopify though.

> I'm not aware of a way to do e2ee voice chat with many participants without linearly increasing bandwidth requirements for users

This can be almost trivially extended from one-to-one end-to-end encrypted text chats: One peer picks a random symmetric key and forwards it to all participants over the existing encrypted and authenticated channel.

Afterwards, you can just use the most appropriate way of relaying encrypted voice data: Full mesh peer to peer, one party acting as relay for everybody else, using an SFU that relays incoming data from one peer to all others (without being able to decrypt it)...
I thought it was less than 40% of those who voted, not the entire population but even less.

Also a call to proportional voting would have lead to dozens of ukip and a few BNP members of parliament in the past, so it's not always a good thing even if it gives more seats to more deserving parties like Green.

Understand what you are trying to say but maybe food isn't the best example. If i travel somewhere it's to enjoy a warm beach, the ski slope or something else unique i can't find at home. Not to eat. If i thrift on the food it means i can afford another day in slopes. (Assuming of course fancy restaurants is something that can be found at home and not a main unique attraction of the destination).

Often the cheap street food can also be the more unique local attraction when traveling somewhere!
Actually, what is the reason for that? If we had computer-linked humans act a scene, then record all of their interactions, and then have them perform that ten nights in a row as live marionettes replaying their original actions from the computer, is that worse or better?

Does the potential for failure and variation attract the audience? Or just the fact that the medium is much higher fidelity: stage actors are human, three dimensional, and no other medium can record all the subtleties of motion and expression just as well.
Yes it is (and cheap!), but I think one needs to be a resident of (or business in) Germany for it. .eu is also cheap, but similar rules apply.

Not very different in the western world too. Canada has mandatory arrest policy if the wife or partner makes a domestic abuse allegation. But its bailable under strict conditions. There is no enquiry done by the police about the merits of allegation and always results in arrest on the spot. This sudden arrest traumatises the defendant, destroys his career, finances because the case wont be dropped even if no charges are pressed. The prosecution continues till guilty/not guilty. This is a very scary policy and makes men really question the idea of getting married, having kids or even to live with a partner under the same roof.

This system is skewed towards women and it has a very low conviction rate too. A waste of tax money. Courts are flooded with DV cases according to StatCan.
Interesting, I have never heard the expression "chanter en yaourt" used for anything other than fake English.
I played in pit orchestras in high school and college, and it's surprising how much can change from show to show. Lots of songs have vamps (sets of four or eight bars you repeat over and over until something happens and it's time to go to the next bit), or holds, or other various other things where the conductor is paying attention to what's happening on stage to cue the musicians. You could probably rig something up in QLab or whatnot to maybe emulate that effect digitally, but it's never going to be "just hit play on the canned track."
Both Python and Ruby have grafted on new features to support type checking and concurrency. I would much rather just use Go, which was designed with these features baked in right from the start. Simpler, cleaner, and faster.

I am just connecting your comment about individualism and a tweet reply to a tweet that cited the fact that the TSA has recorded similar numbers of travellers on Christmas Eve compared to precovid days. It stated that it was because Americans value the economy and freedom over anything.

My advocacy is to reject all dogmatic ideological frameworks, they are fundamentally the wrong approach.

"Smaller state, larger state" no... Those are answers without considering the questions.

Heterodoxy, material analysis, material goals, provable statements, methodologies of measurements and metrics...

That and not disconnected faith based theory opinions are what matter. Labeling things as whatever-alist is a just a silly sports game for tribalists as if it's more important to pass a purity test than it is to construct a positive functioning society.

Whether a solution makes the state bigger or smaller is irrelevant.

What is the efficacy for the effort trade-off, that's really it.

Any commitment to a theoretical purity sets one up for a blindness and bias of analysis and an easy way to be exploited.

That's why televangelists can so blatantly and openly rip people off. The purity theory blinds the faithful. This is true for socialism, capitalism, syndicalism, anarchism, all of them

It’s definitely possible in some VMs. I’ve been working in a Ruby profiler that collects the stacks from a BPF program [1]. There are some BPF safety mechanisms that require some creativity to overcome such as max instructions, not being Turing complete, etc.

Only if you are going to use Rails. It seems that in all other domains Ruby have lost to Python, Kotlin, Go and others. Personally I love Ruby and Rails, I prefer clean Ruby syntax over Python syntax, however except Rails all other activity is going in other languages. Kotlin code with type inference is as concise as Ruby code but executes 50x faster. Ruby simply won't have ML libraries like Python has.

For a web programming I would switch to Kotlin. However Ktor is still lacking compared to Rails in most important areas for me. In Rails common operations like upload a picture, serve is later in a different resolution, migrate a db, quickly create CRUD forms, etc. are just a few lines of code. In Kolin web frameworks you would have to invest much more time to glue together different libraries to do the same job. Many won't agree with that opinion but for me Rails ActiveRecord is the best part of Rails. There is no a such complete thing for a Java ecosystem. It is a beautiful compromise between ideological (only pure plain Java objects are allowed) ORMs like Hibernate and plain SQL approach like jOOQ.
Manage for Impact, Not Performance
"Audio and MIDI stacks on Windows were a mess compared to those in OSX" What do you mean? That sounds like its harder to write drivers for soundcards for windows.. But the user is not going to be writing their own drivers.

Any user who needs to perform audio with any computer will need a soundcard in order to have any sort of decent quality, for
#1 Decent quality inputs and outputs
#2 The correct input and output types like XLR (or fibre optic or whatever)
#3 Acceptable latency for live performance.

Soundcards are available for mac or windows, the makers provide drivers which deal with the "Audio and MIDI stacks". From a users perspective theyre both fine. After that, you care about the machines performance, CPU, how much RAM, how fast is the RAM, how fast is the SSD.
I am a huge M1 fan but that statement is almost true, but not quite there yet. I have experimented with a number of prebuilt machines with AMD Ryzen 3600X/3700X, Intel i7-10700, and Apple M1. Those (esp 3700X) are often slightly ahead of M1 (esp in Rosetta) usually at slightly cheaper prices [often discounted too] compared to the base model Mac mini, admittedly at a much higher power consumption, noise, physical size. The delta increases quickly if you have to pay $200 more for only 8GB RAM (which is the max and sometimes the real bottleneck) and overpriced SSD. If you need Rosetta, you are still probably better off with a mid-range Ryzen PC, assuming you're not married to macOS.

I agree that it is at least super competitive on pricing with comparable compact HP/Dell/Lenovo 8-core desktops. This was surely not true before M1 (I'd say on the order of 2x improvement in mini price-performance).

I suspect this will remain true for a at least a little bit more since Ryzen 5xxx are beasts too, and once supply-demand gets more balanced, machine prices will likely come down at or slightly below Mac mini M1.

On the laptop side, however, M1 is glorious and way cheaper than performance-matching alternatives.
There's also the pound which Scotland uses.
Yeah, when I started out with the first Intel Core Mac Mini, I bounced down most of my effects-heavy tracks, though I did this pretty begrudgingly. Fortunately Logic has a great feature where you can "Freeze" a track to a "bounced"/rendered audio file -- if you want to make edits to the effects, you can un-Freeze, make your changes and re-Freeze. Only downside is, this takes up precious time when you're trying to be creative/productive. :)

These days everyone expects to be able to just layer on 8 effects on every track but.. that's a pretty recent luxury. Back when computers weren't really powerful enough out of the box to do stuff like that you could get dedicated DSP cards like Universal Audio's "UAD-1" PCI card, which let you use really high quality effects on your tracks without overloading your CPU. Now they have newer Thunderbolt/USB-based outboard stuff to do the same thing.

Regardless, most people in audio know you never buy the brand new hardware (especially when it's on a new processor architecture) and expect to be able to do everything as effectively before. It takes a while for all the third-party software vendors to update their stuff and make it run smoothly, assuming the software team is still in business or still working on that product. There's a ton of great stuff we'll never get new updates of. This is why you'll sometimes find pretty old computers in musicians' homes... There's still one cool granular synthesis app I can think of for Mac OS 8/9 (th0nk) which was never updated for anything newer, for example.
