I thought this was going to be a discussion on why different orchestral instruments have different "concert" pitches (i.e. a C on a trumpet is a Bb on a piano and so on), which is an interesting look into the history of European instrument inventors in the 20th century.
Your site is wonderful and you are also wonderful. Thank you for creating that, it's really useful!
Agreed. People on HN think autopay is some kind of default way of financial management. It's not.

In the early 2000's, State Farm's auto insurance auto pay hit my bank account, not for the $250 it has been deducting for years, but for $25,000! It caused my rent and all of my other bills to bounce.

To its credit, State Farm paid all of my associates fees and sent a letter to my landlord, but it took months to get everything straightened out.

Do not trust autopay.

Hey I am quite interested but you actually did not seem to have left an email.
No, not really.

The fundamental is always the lowest frequency. All overtones are some (almost always integer, or _nearly_ integer) multiple of that.

Linux isn't written in C either, it's written in C with a lot of language extensions. The ability to implement malloc() is just another language extension where the compiler promises to ignore the type aliasing issues.

Implementing memory barriers (pthread_mutex_lock()) used to be strictly speaking impossible in C too, but it's possible now that it has a defined memory model.
That's a fascinating point-- but I wonder if the counterpoint also holds.

Right now, you can theoretically make a page with arbitrary "real" content and populate it with reasonably lucrative ads, stuffed based on external profiles and tracking. This seems to be the model for non-premium news media in particular-- because you can't really expect to have super-relevant ads on stories about car crashes and vaccination schedules, they lean in heavily to stuffing the site with externally-targeted ads and begging for tracking cookies.

If the ads were solely tied to page content, what sort of site design would we end up seeing to woo the highest yielding ads? I can imagine four line news articles floating amid a 500kb sea of mesothelioma and life insurance copy to reach for the priciest ads.

>In contrast, our long-term empirical data showed no evidence of a negative influence of radiation on mammal abundance. Relative abundances of elk, roe deer, red deer and wild boar within the Chernobyl exclusion zone are similar to those in four (uncontaminated) nature reserves in the region and wolf abundance is more than 7 times higher. Additionally, our earlier helicopter survey data show rising trends in elk, roe deer and wild boar abundances from one to ten years post-accident. These results demonstrate for the first time that, regardless of potential radiation effects on individual animals, the Chernobyl exclusion zone supports an abundant mammal community after nearly three decades of chronic radiation exposures.

The Slate article suggests that Radiolab sensationalized the Orson Welles version. Quite the opposite. Jad & Co told the shocking truth - that the whole event was not that eventful. Then they got into the tragic story of the Ecuadorian radio station that tried the same experiment in storytelling.

I don't see Nvidia leading in raw compute power, both in GPGPU and in gaming. At most there will be parity going forward. Which will prompt Nvidia to double down on lock-ins like CUDA.

Either way, CUDA should be gone for good and replaced with something that's not tied to specific GPU. I welcome competition in hardware. I have no respect for lock-in shenanigans.
> The Linux kernel is 100% open-source. Yet it's growing user-hostile features --- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26285683 --- and guess what all the locked-down Android phones run...?

That feature is optional, and depends on proprietary, closed-source TPM firmware. You just proved my point– it has to be 100% open-source to respect your freedom.

> Open-source doesn't mean anything for freedom if all you can do is look, because you don't have the signing keys and such to modify what you want. It just means they get to show you exactly how they put the noose on you, that's all.

I agree. That's why I prefer the term freedom-respecting software. Under the free software definition, that is no longer FLOSS, because users do not have the right to modify the software.

> and guess what all the locked-down Android phones run...?

Alas, Linux is not under GPLv3, which ensures that users have an equal right to modify their software.

> Firefox is also chock-full of "telemetry" and it's 100% open-source. That one you do get to modify, but it's still a bloody bastard to strip it all out and recompile to your liking.

Get a prebuilt build of LibreWolf: https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/

That it's fully open-source checks Mozilla's power to do abusive things. Telemetry can be disabled in Firefox settings.

I've used both of your examples to advance my point further. 100.0% open-source = freedom-respecting and non-abusive.
I know that if the delay is constant, a good musician can compensate for it. I think it's a lot easier to hear that two things don't happen at exactly the same time than it is to tell whether two things happen 200ms or 300ms apart.

Musicians have that internal metronome to compare things with.

> It was handled by an outside company and they screwed up like 4 times.

This is an interesting observation. So there may have been at least 3 companies involved in this situation: Apple, Goldman Sachs, and the company that handles trade-ins for Apple.

Each company has own bureaucracy, and if you combine those 3 bureaucracies together, you get a tangled mess that's impossible to untie.
Yes, NTP clock sync assumes symmetric delays, so you have the exact same problem.

However they use the closest NTP time server, so assuming the NTP server owners correctly are able to sync their own servers, the offset is probably close.

Unless the asymmetric delay is on the path which both the ping and the NTP synchronization take

Just use SVG plus d3. Only trick is coming up with a pipeline to convert this into a pdf or png so that it is easier to use outside the web.

I only throw in D3 because it does have some features which make SVGs more maintainable and easy to write, but I've written many SVGs by hand over the years and it really isn't nearly as bad as many people think it is. I suspect a lot of people think it is very difficult because they only look at the terrible SVGs generated by GUI tools.
Undertone is something different, but I never explored that concept and what could it be useful for, so I can't really explain it

Not an undertone, it's fundamental frequency. Harmonics/overtones follow a very specific pattern:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)

...so in most cases there isn't really any ambiguity on what the actual fundamental frequency is. The best way to demonstrate it is probably with a high-pass filter (aka. low-cut filter). High-pass filter allows only higher frequencies to pass through, or in other words it cuts out lower frequencies. On the example below you can hear that as the lower frequencies are getting removed from the signal, it's still the same note:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50lRE2Bgag0

I wish the filter sweeps were slower, but that's the best example I could find
The real problem with the Bell breakup is that last mile telephone service is actually a natural monopoly. The theory was supposed to be that the operators in neighboring states would expand to compete with each other. But that's just iterated prisoner's dilemma where nobody moves first because they don't want the competitor to respond in kind.

Breakups across verticals make a lot more sense. So separating last mile from long distance, and separating Unix from AT&T, those were actually successes.

And I laugh every time people claim that it is only governments that can be inefficient. Most large commercial companies are inefficient and almost not functioning at all.
As one post alluded to the side effect of creating a "synthetic accent", I wonder what kind of social implications this will create.

Over time, as these "synthetic accents" gain wide spread adoption, would the main stream pronunciation also adopt such an accent? It's certainly interesting to think about.
Datalyse – The all in one CRM platform
This might be an age thing because I was like that when I was younger. I didn't understand why I had to keep interacting with seemingly pointless humans in service industries everywhere. But now I'm older, I find talking is more comfortable than using a computer. I don't quite know why. Maybe speaking to a human is something we're biologically built for and these other modes of interaction are a little extra taxing on the brain even if they appear simpler. They involve reading and writing which every school kid knows is harder work than talking.

Or maybe it's just that so many computer interactions are actually slow and frustrating. Ever tried ordering at McDonalds using the touch-screen machines? It's aggravatingly tedious and complicated. There's no "take my money and go away" button. You have to navigate your way through a bunch of stupid menus trying to up-sell you, and each one has an unforgivable loading time.
> But Ethernet worked around that problem pretty quickly with switches. I'm sure Token Ring would have solved it the same way.

Perhaps, but "the problem" was shared access to a single piece of wire. Switches solved the problem by ending sharing - each piece of wire had exactly one computer.

So sure, a switch would have fixed Token Ring's lost token problem - by eliminating the token. I'm not sure it could be called "Token Ring" at that point as there is no token, and no ring.
You're correct, the article is fundamentally flawed. Your thinking speed is not fixed. A person may not have full control over it, but it is far from fixed.
I'm not going to say it's not impressive given the limitations, but am I an outlier if I say it sounds unacceptably bad for a voice call? If someone was on discord/zoom/hangouts with that quality I'd ask them to check if they had some hardware issues or their connection was borked.
They never did remerge to any monopolistic effect. I think you're strongly underestimating the degree to which the Bell System monopoly affected telecommunications. You couldn't even plug your own telephone into the wall; you had to give it to them and lease it back from them -- and pay an installation fee along the way, or you did without telephone service. Several of the Baby Bells got huge again, but none of them were in a monopoly position ever again. Many of them never even participated directly in the services market again, like LSI or Lucent.

The other piece of the Bell breakup that people always overlook is that the federal directive did not merely break up the corporation. It also mandated that all Bell System patents be made available for use without fee by possible competitors. The result was an explosion of innovation and technological development (including within Bell companies!) and the consequences were massive.

Ah, apologies. my comment is a bit of a troll. Once the compiler encounters undefined behavior, it's free to do whatever it wants. like, produce an executable that does exit(0); when it hits that condition. Compiler writers are generally ethical people that won't do that, but there are plenty of cases of aggressive optimizers eliminating whole code paths - if(undefined) - well, let's always take the true path. sure hope that undefined wasn't some sort of security check. :shrug:

True but maybe the “industry standard” agent cut is open for “disruption.” (Personally I can’t fathom what the agents do today that adds $10k-$100k of value). They’ll find some data to support that they make agents more efficient and then reduce their cut. And when the agents complain, there aren’t going to be many people crying for them, especially the ones on Bravo.

How much of that is because in your non-flow states, you're thinking about something else.

For me, flow is super productive because I'm concentrating only on the task at hand. I may have a thought every couple seconds or so, but if I'm coding in flow, each thought is a new line of code. If I'm playing Civ, each thought is a new move or new building purchased.

If I'm not in flow, there's a good chance that that thought is about the HN story that's sitting on the tab in the background. Or wondering if anyone replied to my comment. Or thinking about how I need to pick up my kid in an hour. Or fretting that I'll never finish my project and I'm going to get fired.

This is also consistent with the effects of coffee and other stimulants like Ritalin or Adderall. These work by boosting attention: they increase dopamine and norepinephrine production within the prefrontal cortex, which is the area of the brain that gives us conscious control over our thoughts.

Arguably, breaking up AT&T still forced competition into the telephone space for ~30 years. By the time AT&T had remerged to form at&t they were both a smaller portion of the economy and still had real competition in the form of Verizon, level3, StarLink and others.

If Google was broken up it's entirely plausible that by the time it re-merged search would either be a commodity service or just not that important.
