The two aforementioned music students play violin and cello, and I play double bass. There are a couple issues that I've noticed. The first, especially pertinent to the bass, is that the sound doesn't come from any single place, so you have to find a sweet spot for the mic, that captures a representative tone quality, and that doesn't collide with the bow, etc.

With the violin, that place is probably above the fiddle, so you have to find a way to dangle your phone, or put a mic on a stand. Especially since you're probably standing to play, for reasons of good posture.

And you want the mic to be close, basically to drown out the effects of typically bad room acoustics unless you're lucky to have a nice recording room. Plus, noise from HVAC and other sources.

And... mainstream recording apps for primarily voice use have built in compression and possibly other artifacts that you have to figure out how to turn off.

And... if you want audio and video, it further constrains your options. You often need your teacher to see you play, to comment on posture and technique issues.

Once it's all working, then the mic in a cell phone and its audio input hardware are actually surprisingly decent. The tiny little condenser mic elements are fairly high fidelity, and an audio codec is pretty much a slam dunk nowadays.
Only one at a time. HN could use some of the signal/noise tools that newsreaders had, like scorefiles.

When Facebook customers, i.e., purchasers of Facebook advertising, filed a class action lawsuit against Facebook recently for fraud^1 (more specifically, https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...
), Facebook tried to place their amended complaint under seal, so the public could not see it. In part, because it disclosed what goes on behind the scenes at Facebook, the very things that the plaintiffs are suing over. Facebook has much to hide and litigation is one way some of their shady practices may eventually find themselves under the spotlight of public scrutiny. What goes around comes around.

for the most part states and the reservations within them are on good enough terms these days for such a thing to happen. It benefits both sides to take care of these issues.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of "misunderstandings". However it isn't like 150 years ago when states believed "the only good Indian is a dead Indian."
Unfortunately, not everybody can afford to raise their own chickens.

E.g. IIRC, raising of any chicken/duck/goose/pigeon on land that is not zoned for agriculture has been outlawed in Hong Kong, due to concerns about spreading diseases, especially avian flu.

Plus, most people live in tiny homes with no garden and maybe even no balcony.
On most of the political issues dear to me, it is impossible to have a scientific study decide the truth. To believe that science could; that would be replacing morals and beliefs with scientism, not far removed from religion and ultimately a worship of intellectual authority and the elite.

According to Wikipedia : "Humans are not thought to have a magnetic sense, but there is a protein (a cryptochrome) in the eye which could serve this function" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoreception

How come they thought to add the blue light dependency? Because light-dependent magnetoreception has been observed in other animals: https://jeb.biologists.org/content/204/19/3295

The gender difference is interesting though.
Something I guess I've never understood is why the US still value indigenous claims to pieces of land? I acknowledge that Europeans shouldn't have taken the land for themselves centuries ago, but why are there still people today who believe they have an ancestral right to a piece of land? Why can't these populations just integrate into the US instead of trying to preserve their cultures from migration? Why is this kind of ethnocentric thinking still acceptable in the 21st century America?

The reason I ask is because I see a lot of European nationalists here in Europe asking for similar treatment to native peoples and it's hard to say their arguments are not genuine when you guys in America are tolerating nationalism from other non-European groups. What exactly do you say to a British nationalist who wants claim a piece of land in Britain to protect his "people" and culture from non-British arrivals like native Americans? Is this a backwards, racist concern, or a genuine one?

I should note I am highly autistic. I'm not trying to be cruel here. I've just always found the concern for indigenous cultures and land highly contradictory and want to understand the US perspective better.
shut up, it’s not. don’t post anymore.
Western style != American style.

Philippines was part of the Spanish crown and had Spanish customs. Plenty of European (Western) countries have balanced diets and healthy lifestyles.
I’ll just say then the only thing I don’t agree with is the hysteria about it. So maybe we agree on the facts just not what those facts say about the event and our democracy.

For some scale of structures, it may be too dangerous to be done here on Earth, at least in the short-middle term. Some systems are very complex and not well understood yet (climate, ecosystems, food chain, etc) and the risk of disrupting something we depend on and not have alternative place to live on if something unexpected happens.

We are kind of living that scenario already, the global transport and energy "megastructures" are causing global warming, maybe not as construction but as system with many components. Imagine building something planned 100 years ago when the people of that time wasn't aware of the polar vortex, the gulf stream or positive reinforcement loops, or were not aware of their importance.

Limited impact, controlled/limited side effects, composable for a planned/measured growth, instead of a big cathedral that must be all of it or nothing, may be factors that make some future projects be safe enough.

It is not just being able to draw it and that have an sound math on its factibility. With big enough things, you may have to factor the impact for all of us, on things that are outside the construction itself.
That's just how markets work right? The important thing is that these power networks are getting utilized, and that money can be reinvested in building out more green energy projects. This is a net win for everyone involved.

The paper cites previous work where blue light is associated with magnetoception in other species. The whole color thing really threw me off at first, too, so seeing the previous results was a little reassuring in the sense that it made the light color association seem, so to speak, less out of the blue.

There are risks to traveling internationally, especially during a global pandemic. Getting stranded at your destination happens to be one of them.

I know a woman who traveled from the US to Trinidad last February to care for her mother. She is still stuck there today. Fortunately, she has internet and an understanding employer.
Debian is an amazing project. I love how it's so fundamental but doesn't call attention or hype to itself. It's used by millions but doesn't try to be sexy or glamorous. Even the website is minimal.
I agree. It is however a strong motivation that has an effect on the choices of the civilian leadership of the military.

This is brilliant, but also raises a bunch of questions for me. Perhaps you or other readers may have the answers:

- How is collection of the product verified. In other words, a customer can say they went to the drop location and nothing was there. The seller has no way of knowing if the customer was lying or if the product was "intercepted" by chance or federal officials

- How can people making the drop be confident that authorities making controlled buys won't be able to trace them via CCTV (if there is a camera recording in that area, their identity can be determined) I suspect the normalization of face masks has helped make this somewhat easier to evade, but in normal times, the government could go to 100 drop zones used by the same seller, compile a list of all the people who have been seen near those zones in the last 6 months with facial recognition, then dig into people who have been seen in more than one of those zones. I assume these are obscure enough locations that random people won't find the drops, so a person appearing in more than one is enough to flag them as likely to be involved. But in the event these are just really good hiding places in more public locations, someone being near 3 or more of these locations is still enough to suggest involvement.

- Most of the risk still seems to be the buyer's burden; if a government official impersonates the seller, they can just wait for the person to show up to collect their package, and they'd be caught "red-handed" so to speak. I suppose the person can claim ignorance, but I don't know how good of a defense this would be.

- Sellers would be taking massive risks with bulk orders being found by the wrong party (I assume bulk orders are most of their profits). Additionally, they wouldn't really have the ability to tailor the amount to the customer for complicated orders
> I mean, if you want cruelty free eggs you can just raise chickens.

Raising hens still means that someone somewhere is hatching eggs and throwing out the rooster chicks, probably grinding them into chicken meal.
Following the recent CentOS fiasco, I'm advising friends to go with Debian. It's rock solid and can be depended upon.

I don't believe gains are that fragile. IGF-1 has a longer half-life.

More important is overall surplus (hard gainers need more), nutrition, regular gym time, and low stress/catabolism. Normalize cortisol, insulin, and thyroid/HPTA/metabolism.
My question is this:

Can you ban discussing politics on a website largely about Technology (and heavy on the Silicon Valley/IT side of things) when one of the largest stories in the world at the moment is the interaction of the internet (read Twitter) and politics (read Trump) and how these things influence one another and lead to real world consequences (read January 6th)? Now, arguably more so than back in 2016, technology is playing an ever larger role in how we interact with one another. I fail to see how not acknowledging and discussing that is going to help anything.

In short, good luck sticking your head in the sand. If you ignore it, things won't get better. And you're free to not read any of links or the comments at any time.
One system I've been using recently that does something sort of like you're describing is Futureland (https://futureland.tv). It has a "streak" feature that gamifies making contributions at a daily cadence which is nice. So there's a psychological nag to get in there and check something off the daily list of things to do.
Ah, the Wall Street Bets paradox
I think that in some ways the semantics of Raku are closer to Ruby than to Perl5. https://docs.raku.org/language/rb-nutshell is a ruby-to-raku walk through. Among other things, Raku has first-class Roles that I think Ruby should consider adopting. In Raku the sigils (symbols prefixing variables) give an immediate indicator as to a general role that the variable implements -- so $ for single-values, @ for lists, % for dictionaries (hashes), & for callables. That adds a lot of "noise" that makes Raku look different, but under that it is like a lot of modern dynamic OO languages ... lots of objects and method invocations with a few JSON like built in types.
Yes I had to try it out.

I would have been surprised if /usr/bin/printf could do that (and it could not)
I am sure there is, no doubt, overlap of people that associate with the Proud Boys and also associate with white supremacist's, but they (the Proud Boys) have been very clear that white nationalism / supremacy is not their charter and I do not think it is fair to paint them with that brush. That being said, I do agree with you on their view of masculinity and it is fair fodder to critique them on. That is their point, they stand for a certain set of values, they are very clear in what those values are and that is what they should be weighed in the balance for. For the record I am not defending them, rather I prefer to see peoples arguments weighed for what they are saying not for what other people paint on them. It's not fair and it is attempt to dilute their message. I think their message stands for itself and most people will reject it. Attempts to paint them as a racist organization when they are clearly not, only muddy the water and lend credence to their argument that they are being treated unfairly. It plays into their hands.
Well it's not literally impossible to out-exercise a bad diet. Look at what some ultra endurance athletes eat. But those are extreme outliers and that lifestyle isn't really sustainable.
Thanks, haha. I felt that the original paper title didn’t give the result as much “holy cow wait what” punch as it deserved, glad you enjoyed the editorializing.
I developed a VST plugin that allows users to collaborate remotely using any DAW, it's called BeatConnect. The main value of this is that everyone can use their own setup and instruments and still participate in the creative process together. I've been working on this for a year and have been doing open beta for about a month, people seem really into it which is awesome!

4+ people can make music at the same time, the projects are saved and loaded in the cloud, people can load them on their own time if they want and do their parts so not everyone needs to be online at the same time. Tons of extra stuff, I'm quite proud of how it's turned out.

I built this mainly because all my friends who make music live in different cities and I really just want to jam all the time and nothing out there was letting me do it, so the idea was born a while ago but it was an adventure to get it to work properly.

One problem with this approach is that Youtube's search just feels so bad (at least compared to what you expect out of Google) and what's worse, they limit the number of search results. So you get around 10 somewhat related results and then they just instantly stop and you get some "you might like these videos as well" results. Frustrates me to no end and I think there could be a great opportunity in somehow indexing videos properly and creating a search engine around it. Then again you'd think Google would've done this but maybe they aren't able to. But in any case I'd prefer an endless stream of semi-related videos compared to their 10 results.
Sure, it's not impossible to believe, but DevKoala up there saying "yeah, he did that" with no evidence/verifiable sources, I'll assume he's just talking out of his ass.. (a trait shared by a certain political side)

The big downside with washed eggs is the shelf life from what I understand, I happily keep unwashed eggs at room temp for ~a month, whereas I from what I understand eggs in the USA would need to be refrigerated and still wouldn't keep as long.
I expect some people will do horrible things for personal gain, we all are egoists to a degree after all. What I have a hard time digesting is the irrationality of racism: why not pursue material instead of imaginary gain?

Racism is more crazy religion than ideology.
I said it was partially responsible; it is by no means even close to the sole factor by which startup ecosystems are formed. Arkansas lacks in education, research, and a number of other metrics that make it undesirable to develop in. Income taxes are only one part of the tax equation as well, since employers pay a larger chunk of overall taxes in France and other EU countries [1] compared to the US. Again, an employer (or startup) being forced to pay very high taxes on worker income gives a lot of incentive to reduce worker income and makes it more difficult for cash strapped startups to find personnel. Factoring in the employer side makes the tax difference more in the range of 10-20%, not 3%. That difference gets passed on to the worker, either in cash for large companies or in stock options for startups, since the software job market is highly competitive.

Healthcare costs for FAANG and other big tech employees (such as those that would be making $500k) are on the order of $2000/year or less. The company I currently work for covers all health insurance costs for me and I can choose to enroll dependents at a small cost per month. Again, adding high healthcare costs here for an engineer making $500k is unrealistic.

Sounds exciting! related, I've been building a open-source platform for hardware telemetry data called TelemetryJet (https://www.telemetryjet.com/). It provides a toolkit for data collection, analysis, and visualization. The aim is to make it easy to build a long-term time series database, share it with collaborators, and actually gain insight from the data you collect.

I've been mostly focused on data from experimental electric vehicles, but I am also really interested in hearing your experience building a sensor network. I'd really love to hear what kinds of challenges you encountered building a distributed sensor system like this, particularly with collecting and sharing the sensor data. If you're willing, please reach out to me at the email in my bio!

> This leads me to believe that my difficulty in understanding spoken vs written French might not be so much grammar and vocab of spoken French, but rather the difficulty of translating sounds to words in real time.

I'm an English-only speaker and watch English with subtitles and it definitely increases my understanding too. I think I definitely have a problem mapping sounds to meaning, names especially can take me 3 or 4 times to hear properly when introduced if it's a little noisy. It gets embarrassing to ask them to repeat themselves.

Spoken conversations also don't stick as well in my memory - if I read something once there's a good chance I remember it adequately, not so much for listening.
My wife uses canned chickpeas for her meringues, with also sugar, cream of tartar, and vanilla. She's made several very successful batches (no bean flavor whatsoever) this way. Probably the vanilla helps mask the flavor, but maybe canned vs. fresh chickpeas also make a difference.
Currently doing the image collection for a NN. Created a custom HW rig to speed things up, lighting, turntables, actuators for novel objects, the works. It's really hard and tedious. We're doing liquid detection and even under IR/UV lights, it's still really hard.

We'd love to be able to work with a company for a few days, get the parameters set up right for our case, and then let them take the thousands of images. My company would easily pay $100K+ for such a data set.
