Yes, it'll take a lot of compute power to train all the various Uighur-tracking models.

The thought of supporting a regime that commits genocide, systematic rape and hosts concentration camps that houses several millions of people, just so that I can maybe buy a CPU that's cheaper than Intel/AMD is absolutely repulsive to me.

No! China (the CCP and it's supporters) can go F*ck itself, and I pray to God that any material "progress" that they've accumulated by exploiting the poor and vulnerable gets reversed.

I know this will get down-voted, because I know you CCP-bots out there hate when people point out how disgustingly evil you are. Technology has no place in that hands of people without any ethics!

Applying Machine Learning Technologies to Dubbing and Localization
Achieving the base functionality is not hard, getting some of the most advanced features is more of a pain.
Rarely I see aws services sold for their advanced features, though. Somehow aws became the default for hiring / learning how to do DevOps.

For example:
Setting up different SSH keys when deploying a machine is not hard; getting granular ACL is more complicated.

Getting encryption at rest is very service specific, for example Postgres has TDE (free, with paid support if my memory serves correctly); I'm sure there are some services where EaR has been implemented by aws and there is no OSS alternative.
RISC-V is being widely adopted in China, just not by this one company. I'm sure they have their reasons but the decision seems to make little sense for Loongson. They'll have to port the toolchains and kernels (which was a multi-year effort for RISC-V). If they needed extended instructions for specific features, then RISC-V is ideal for that since it's built around the concept of extending the ISA.
Wait, what?! I thought the license/core was a thing in the UNIX/NT days, when running more then one core/system meant you were doing serious mainframe/datacenter business, but you're telling me this is still a thing now in the days when a smartphone has 8 cores?
This is great but if we could go back in time and influence the naming conventions so that the 12 semitones were called A-L or just numbered 1 to 12, and if the intervals were named after the actual semitone distance (a 'fifth' is actually seven semitones) the whole thing would be soooo much less jargonny. With all that bumf removed, the patterns of the 'scales' and 'chords' would be foregrounded and thats the actually interesting bit IMHO (the bit defined as 'formulas = {..}' in the article)
Look up how Dell deals with AMD. Just the other day there was a discussion how Alienware (Dell) is misconfiguring and downplaying their own AMD desktop systems. You'll also be hard pressed to find a high-specced AMD laptop from Dell, and their best AMD machines are well hidden on their own website.

Dell is definitely antagonistic towards AMD.
That was a strange sensation looking at "ioetnprmt" and feeling there was a spelling mistake there! (There is)
> modes required modifying certain notes from a major scale

But why though?
If you're improvising on a dominant (e.g. a G7 in the key of C Major) with a G Mixolydian scale, you're actually not playing a Mixolydian sound, but Ionian, since your tonal center is C Ionian. It is true, it is indeed a G Mixolydian scale and it is using the tonal contents of our key C Ionian. But our frame is Ionian, so what is the purpose of adding Mixolydian other than ease of construction of the scale?
HN is a tech site, if you have software skills you can get software jobs, but from your previous comments it appears to me that you are looking for a different kind of job related to urban planning. You may find people who support you on HN, but they can't get you a job because almost none of them have connections with local governments. It's entirely possible that the people who can give you a job aren't using HN and maybe they aren't even using the internet at all, at least not for government jobs.

Honestly, my only idea is that you go to a strongtowns meeting (virtual or physical) and try to meet people there, they are far more involved in urban planning than any random HN user.

There is about $8B Ether staked and the APR is expected to be about 7%.

This is probably a small fraction of staked coins in crypto over all. But I have only looked into this Ether so far.

Maybe someone who is more experienced with the state of staking/lending can chime in.
Guys Im a co-founder of the company Halo-Tx. Our work is based on a publication in Science Magazine. This is highest level science not "snake oil" stuff. This is not about inhaling vegetable oils: this is free fatty acids which are components of dietary oils, but also central elements of our metabolism and bodily function. Free fatty acids have decades of use as inactive ingredients in drug products, inhaled, nasal, and oral administration route. Dosing and safety parameters are not only known, they have been used by million of people in different drugs that are presently marketed. What we discovered is that the virus hijacks the body's natural free fatty acid pools to drive (turbocharge) its own replication, and a side effect is nasty inflammation because free fatty acids are the major inflammatory signaling precursors in the body (e.g. aspirin, and dexamethasone cools them off). P.S. dexamethasone is the only anti-inflammitory shown to have any effect in really sick COVID patients.

Can you point to a "RISC-V patent pool"? I've never heard of such a thing. The ISA was shown to be patent free. Microarchitectures have heavily patented features, but microarchitectures are generally independent of the ISA, so changing ISA doesn't help.

Are they? Not saying that this is the case here but recent elections (Trump) and referendums (Brexit) have shown that you can absolutely manipulate and mislead the masses. Again, not taking any sides here, but assuming that those decisions are well informed or won't be taken against their own interest seems naive to me.

Maybe asking robots to do the human thing is not the right approach. Just like dishwashers don't do things resembling how humans approach the task. Which implies the clothing would have to change somehow. Is that even possible? I don't know.
Instead of a virtual DOM, this uses closures to update parts of a nodes text content, attributes and child nodes. There's a pinch of syntactic sugar to let you add event handlers directly into the template literal, and two dashes of template tag functions: s to provide singletons that can be keyed, and always update their existing slot in the DOM, and c to generate new DOM that you can slot anywhere when you don't need minimal updates or keyed components.

It's inspired by React and Custom Elements and aims to use existing HTML and DOM APIs in the most efficient and tactile (developer friendly) way possible.

If you know your way around DOM, you probably know how to use this.

They also don't roll off the tongue as well, which is, whether we like it or not, one of the main deciding factors for how language evolves. Imho attempts to replace established terms could be much more successful in wider adoption if they took this into account.

For example I don't know why most try to push "denylist" instead of the more obvious "blocklist".

Slang exists for a reason, and going the opposite way just makes everything harder.
Agreed. The patterns are the most interesting bits. Actually, just the fact that there exist patterns is pretty amazing. It's unfortunately hard to see them through the notation and that made it very unintuitive for me for the longest time.

Unfortunately the momentum that Western music notation has, with a few centuries of tradition behind it, means one has to work within that system.

Built a tool to help myself read better – but is it useful for others?
I’ve been working on making a tool for myself to be able to read better.

Here's a bit about how it works: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/principles-for-effective-learning-in-lurnby-aa2d52c4c6

In the end, it is a bit similar to Readwise, in that it helps process highlights, but not from a kindle rather from articles and ebooks added to the app.

It’s become quite useful in my own reading workflow, and even more so since I built a small spaced repetition review feature for surfacing the highlights back up periodically.

But I seriously need to get out of my own head and understand if I’m also doing anything meaningful for people other than me.

If anyone here would be willing to get on a quick vid call with me to review what I made and let me know how it fits with your existing reading workflow, I’d be super grateful.

I have a website for it at lurnby.com and the app itself is at app.lurnby.com - although the UX and lack of onboarding might make it hard to understand exactly what it does without a demo.

Thanks!
Who is actively upset by this?

I understand some people don't like change, but if changing "man" to "person" upsets someone then it rather feels like they don't like sharing.
I disagree, because with the way of writing it down we have a homomorphism, e.g. transpositions preserve relations between letters, e.g. (A D E) -> (Ab Db Eb), or
(G C D) -> (G# C# D#).

Of course, for every rule there are exceptions, e.g. we have things like (F Bb C) -> (F# B C#)
Maybe, since Gnome is a Free software, the Gnome developers team does not owe anything to anyone ? I really like Gnome choices, but if I change my mind on a future update, who am I to rant against a project that works "for free"?

Some years ago, I was myself a "really opinionated user" and well ... Linux doesn't lack of mature opinionated DE : you can do barely anything you want with XFCE, MATE and KDE.

Also, I really don't understand this "touchscreen oriented Gnome". There is nothing in Gnome that is meant to be used in touch mode. Gnome ergonomics are totally built around the Super key (and now, touchpad gestures) once you get this, you understand all the gnome _desktop_ paradigm.

It's really inspired by OSX where every workflow action can be done with touchpad gestures and keyboard (without moving the pointer, which is only useful inside applications). Once you get this paradigm, there is no way to go back.

I really think also that Gnome was betting for better touchpad support on linux years and years ago, but it looks like we had to wait for Wayland to have something decent.

I'm just going to link https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/rainbow/research/autostere... here - an autostereo display that was working way earlier than that. "The first displays were built in the late 1980s and early 1990s". They worked by projecting different images out to different horizontal areas in front of them, so your right and left eyes would see a different image, you could move your head and see around objects, and multiple people could look at it and see an appropriate view for their position.

Not sure if they ever ran Doom on it though.

Interesting fact - Durer used a kind of 3d rendering engine to study and teach perpective. He made a woodcut of it called "Man Drawing a Lute". I learned it from Computer Graphics Principles and Practice which uses it to teach how 3d rendering works. See [1] or [2] for illustration and description of the method.

He also made another woodcut called "Daraughsman Drawing a Recumbent Woman" with more practical method. See illustration [3].

I don't think parent doesn't know this can still be done; it's just that culturally this is not valued anymore and it's often not taught to beginners.

The same thing happened on frontend: all the juniors bootcampers' only experience of doing frontend development is running create-react-app and hacking away at React.
Before that it was angular.

Everybody would frown at deploying a pure frontend js app or a jQuery app, in the same way most people would frown at deploying a PHP script on Apache.

Despite this, a huge portion of the internet runs on PHP and jQuery (including shiny new things, like levels.io's million making 1-2 men saas).
"Your low resting heart rate may be related to a slow basal metabolic rate - one normally only sees 45 bpm in dedicated athletes"

I did consider this. However if I stop exercising, my RHR increases up to about 60 within a month or so. Indeed my exercise HRmax is around 230, which is, as I understand, on the high side. I'm guessing it is still related in some way though because clearly I'm not an athlete. Additionally I have a low respiration rate and sleep a fair amount. My doctor has done a few blood tests and such - and as far as he's concerned, I'm metabolically completely normal with no diabetes or hormonal issues - but on the low side. For example, my thyroid hormone levels are quite low, but still just within the normal range.

The doctor suggested that some people's weight issues don't respond all that well to exercise in his experience. He said research in the area was weak, but said it may be due to higher levels of fitness combined with favourable body mechanics in some meaning total energy consumption from exercise didn't amount to much. I come from an extremely athletic family, so it's possible that might have some truth. So for me, perhaps, the adage that you can't outrun a bad diet is even more truthful.

"daily deficit no greater than 200 Cal"

To do this (on paper), I'd have to eat a lot more than I'm able to, or cut down exercise. What I might do is try and get booked in for one of those metabolic studies after Covid, to actually accurately calculate my cycling/walking/resting energy consumption. That way I should be able to accurately calculate what exactly a 200kcal deficit really is for me. Thermodynamically, I must not be at a calorie deficit or else I'd lose weight. I'm just not exactly sure where my calculations could be so wrong.

> Getting a job in which I stand for nine hours per day (with mild upper body exercise)

I would love this. On holidays and such, I spend at least 10hrs a day active, and I feel a ton better. Back pain disappears, etc. Unfortunately not too easy with programming. I tried a standing desk and found it didn't really work for me. Might try a treadmill desk, but I can totally see myself getting a head injury from that!

" I'd also note that cycling seems to be ~ 20x lower energy cost per mile than walking. You'd be better off driving to work and adding a mile to your daily walk in the time saved."

Definitely true per mile, but per hour, cycling should be more energy intensive than walking (but less than running). Certainly I spend longer with my heart rate above 180 when cycling, and feel more exhausted after. Metabolic study is the only way to confirm it for me though.

It's sort of irrelevant anyway because bicycle is the quickest way to get to work for me and I don't own a car.
