I would imagine at the very least an Apple TV 4K hooked up to your receiver would work. The Apple TV 4K does support Dolby Atmos and I can't imagine they wouldn't update it to support this. All they say so far is that you need Atmos compatible stuff for it to work.
Could do it with SystemD AllowedCPUs functionality, but that's not dynamic
The article describes the reason why this is opt-out as such:

> To be fair, there's a good reason it did. A mesh network of devices requires, well, a mesh. That means Amazon needs as many devices as possible to have the feature turned on. If it required you to enable it on your own, Amazon knows that almost no one would.

So Amazon's business reasons are "good reasons", but my privacy/bandwidth/etc. reasons are secondary at best. This sums up the relationship between companies and their customers in the modern tech industry: You take what we'll give you, and you'll like it. At some point we're going to have to come up with a concept like "informed consent" for these things.
The problem is that “other crowds” is an amorphous and meaningless concept. In one context “other crowds” means the US/EU population as a whole, in which case sure, HN readers are on average probably more educated and better-informed. But in another context “other crowds” might mean “experts in the humanities and social sciences,” compared to which the average HN reader is hopelessly ignorant unless the question is specifically about programming. And indeed it is the humanities and social sciences where HN’s blindness and ignorance is most obvious, and its arrogance most undeserved.
It sounds like a genuinely good idea for movies, but only for VR, right? How often do you turn your head while watching a regular movie?
Thanks! That's a good idea, we'll put info about the numbers of read/write/delete operations that Firefoo uses up somewhere. For long-running tasks (export, delete/rename colls) we show those numbers in the Tasks popup already but it'd be nice to show them up front!
No. This is not RAS. It's a continuation of a long trend in *nix/FLOSS for using recursive acronyms. One of the earliest:

I did read it. We need to wait and see if their meta-study approach is sound and didnt introduce bias. And from what I understand they didnt study a lot of the people that got really bad covid.
Are artists going to release proper spatial mixes? Is Apple Music a big enough market to move them in this direction?
ALAC and FLAC are technically very similar formats [1]. Both are bit-perfect. Compare with MQA which is utter garbage and has absolutely zero to do with losless. MQA is actually, objectively worse than 16 bit audio CDs. An abject failure backed by an aggressively anti-science company backed up by a bunch of lawyers.

[1] Both encode a PCM stream using linear prediction while storing the difference between the predictor's output and the actual samples. This allows recreating the samples with zero error when decompressing. It's functionally equivalent to .wav.gz.

Give me a break. Middle class people like us get divorced when a partner cheats. Middle class people like us get 'asked to quit' during boss-employee relationships.

You and myself cannot FATHOM the amount of money involved at the level of Bill Gates. Everyone in this thread is making that fallacy.

Ask yourself, if there was serious reasons for Microsoft cutting ties with Bill Gates, if there was some investment sell-off loopholes that Bill Gates could exploit by getting divorced, wouldn't you simply tell the public it was for a reason that Middle Class America can fully swallow?
The format is ALAC, it’s not proprietary but an open spec. Secondly Apple has been using AAC since forever which is a successor to mp3 and an MPEG standard.

The fine print seems to have a slightly different story by my reading:

“How can I listen to Dolby Atmos music?

All Apple Music subscribers using the latest version of Apple Music on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV can listen to thousands of Dolby Atmos music tracks using any headphones (emphasis mine). When you listen with compatible Apple or Beats headphones, Dolby Atmos music plays back automatically when available for a song. For other headphones, go to Settings > Music > Audio and set Dolby Atmos to Always On. You can also hear Dolby Atmos music using the built‑in speakers on a compatible iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, or HomePod, or by connecting your Apple TV 4K to a compatible TV or audiovisual receiver.”
Ok, I can accept that as a possibility.

But here's a curiosity: why are you here, then? What do you derive from reading all the comments from people that are by default wrong? Isn't it a massive waste of your time to read large number of comments, just to occasionally find one that you agree with as being correct?
Well, there is that. But there's also the music produced by independent artists who release on YT. So much music isn't ever mastered to or printed on the cheap plastic magic mirrors.
Why is it sad? It's a streaming service, I'm not sure why format would matter.
I can't carry a few thousand of those with me at all times, though.

I hear what you're saying, but the convenience of a vast and portable library is compelling.

You’re not...

I would think Apple TV + hdmi should do the trick. There doesn’t seem to be a technical reason this can’t be done seeing as atmos does work on Apple TV, but.... I would rather have my TV off when just having music on.
Not true. The article points out that they are paid the same as the tabbers.
There is a simple solution to this botnet and others. Don't buy these devices, any convenience is out weighed by privacy concerns. Resist becoming a NPC.

Don't you remember reading about it in the terms and conditions?
Author here. Last week I posted a ShowHN with my first music production app. I received a overwhelmingly positive response from the community from which I'm humbled and grateful. You can see the post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27112573

Many asked about how it was built, so I wrote an article about my journey from music to software. Part I presents the "why" I built the app, and Part II will get into more details about the technical challenges I overcame.

Thanks again to this great community for your support. The app has had tens of thousands of users since the original post, and I'm getting a lot of enthusiastic feedback. This is all very exciting.
To a point. There is an inflection when the AI becomes a crutch that allows the human to stop paying attention. Tesla may be at/near this point. For instance: lane assist is great until it causes people to take their hands off the wheel, to stop looking at where they are going. I'd rather see such systems implanted as enforcement mechanisms. Let the AI prevent a car from drifting out of its lane. Let it monitor the lane position and scream at the driver when they start to drift. Don't let the AI become a comfortable crutch that allows the driver to take their mind off the task.
The author’s analysis sounds less like an explanation of how the M1 is faster, and more like an explanation of how it gets such amazing battery life.

If someone could figure out a way to get all MacOS apps —including the system — to use the performance cores, perhaps the battery life would be back down to Intel levels?
Except that once you do this, no one else can listen for that signal anymore. Pending signals go to the first to register for them, and then are no longer pending, so no one else gets notified. Aaaand you don't get notified of this problem - your registration call succeeds but you get nothing when a signal comes.

The Android runtime library uses similar tricks for ANRs, with similar problems.

Signals are probably the most broken of all POSIX APIs.
Yes - I sold my Ryzen desktop because I no longer feel the need to go to the 'more powerful' machine. The Air is just as fast.
In previous discussions about this it was pointed out that LLVM may be significantly faster at producing ARM code versus x86. The comparison may still be the one that actually matters to you but at least in part be an advantage of ARM in general and not just the M1. rust is very good at cross-compiling so compiling to ARM on Dell and to x86 on the M1 may add some interesting comparisons.
Making RecyclerViews with Jetpack Compose
Very good point, it make sense.
As wiki says "The Outer Space Treaty does not ban military activities within space, military space forces, or the weaponization of space, with the exception of the placement of weapons of mass destruction in space, and establishing military bases, testing weapons and conducting military maneuvers on celestial bodies.[6][7]"

So very high probability is that they need approval for additional money spending in that area.
Yes the Amiga had a form of UMA as did many other systems, the term UMA seems more widely used than "shared memory" its definite not just a marketing term.

I don't believe Apple claimed to invent unified memory only that they are taking maximum advantage of the architecture more so than anyone to this point.

Federighi:

"We not only got the great advantage of just the raw performance of our GPU, but just as important was the fact that with the unified memory architecture, we weren't moving data constantly back and forth and changing formats that slowed it down. And we got a huge increase in performance."

This seems to be talking about the 16mb SLC on die cache that CPU,GPU and other IP cores share:

"Where old-school GPUs would basically operate on the entire frame at once, we operate on tiles that we can move into extremely fast on-chip memory, and then perform a huge sequence of operations with all the different execution units on that tile. It's incredibly bandwidth-efficient in a way that these discrete GPUs are not. And then you just combine that with the massive width of our pipeline to RAM and the other efficiencies of the chip, and it’s a better architecture."

Basically either use the platform, or be faced with the dilemma of eternal catch-up, features duplication and opposing roadmap goals.
> Long story short, while Rust’s libc bindings give one access to the si_code field, it doesn’t export the actual constants to know what that value means. While the maintainers are generally open to adding these constants, I don’t have access to all the large number of platforms to figure out what values the constants have on each (yes, they are not the same) and what constants are even available on each of them

The reason i've heard voiced by managerial types is that it lets you have access to alot more off shore resources or contracted resources. TCS/Accenture/Infosys has a firehose of Java devs to throw at a project. Not so much Kotlin.

This is of course ignoring quality issues....
>This is a trolley problem as much as seatbelts and airbags are.

I disagree. The trolley problem is concerned with ethical decisions. Seatbelts are passive safety devices and don't make decisions. Airbags make "decisions" based on a sensor input, but my hunch is there is very little ethical dilemma in whether or not to deploy an airbag when a sensor threshold is met.

Current driving assist is probably not much of a trolley problem but future self-driving software almost certainly will be tasked with making choices between "bad and worse" which opens up the ethical can of worms about how to define "bad".
I am a senior tech lead and do lots of hiring.

1) I would throw an 8 page resume in the trash without bothering to read it. 1 page cover letter telling why we are a match for each other without repeating just what is on your CV and AT MOST a two page CV.

2) It is true that you need to get past the HR/Recruiter firewall. Our HR does not do some sort of NLP but recruiters certainly might.

3) I don't really care what your resume looks like as long as it is neat and easy to read.

4) Personalize domain is absolutely meaningless. In fact, I would likely (sub-consciously) think you were a self-important ass for using one.

5) If your job history is more than 5 years, I can't imagine why I would care about the months.

I might be atypical, but I don't really care much about ancient history. For a candidate that has 5 years of experience:

I don't care anything about your high school.

While I likely want to know about your college and degree, I don't care about your GPA.

If your hobbies are other forms of programming, don't show me. It is a negative. Show me there is something more than programming in your life.
People don't know what to listen for. The compression artefacts may seem like artistic choice to people rather than a loss of quality.
Once you know what to listen for, you can almost always tell the difference, even on lower quality listening devices.
> I and many others running good high end gear can repeatedly score well on these tests.

I, too, run high-end gear and cannot.

The problem scope isn't simply reproduction accuracy, it is also one of taste: Different compression can elevate/alter parts of the sound, and your opinion may not lean to the highest bit rate but rather some other coloring of the music.

The fact you've run this test "repeatedly" actually hurts your argument, since you may just be learning what to expect in your environment. The crux of the article/discussion is that people cannot blindly pick the highest quality, which they cannot (since the different colorings of the music are subjective anyway).
CDs of popular music are actually the easiest to find. (Target, Walmart or any big local equivalent will have the top charting artists stocked as CDs)

It's the more esoteric artists that have become increasingly difficult to get CDs for. Streaming is really a boon for anything outside the mainstream.
Any of these use FLAC? Or does everyone invent their own wheel?
I’m going to be the contrarian here :)

I would just pay $29/month for Shopify basic plan. Is the $20 difference worth self hosting and tweaking a custom thing? You’ll quickly lose that $20 in time better spent running your business. I’d rather have reliable hosting...

Not to bash a cool side project. Just want to say it’s not a panacea.
> Walmart and McDonalds think they are buying commoditized labor, but as In-N-Out, Costco, Dick's, Burgerville and many others have shown, paying above average wages and focusing on worker retention produces a better quality product as those employees gain experience and are emotionally invested in performing their job well.

In n Out, Costco, Dick’s, and Burgerville exist in the richer parts of town/country. You can figure out which side of town has more money based on which stores are there.
Not necessarily, but for the best effects yes. You can use head related transfer functions (HRTFs) to simulate spatial audio with just one driver per ear. Granted the effects aren’t as significant as multi-driver setups, I was able to get a convincing spatial audio demo working with in-ear devices for an Audio Tech course project back in school.
Interesting that you found Dolphin to be a Finder clone. It may well be, I just didn't see it besides some superficial UI similarities.

I think Dolphin is one of the very best Linux apps out there while I found Finder to be very clunky, often so unintuitive and useless that I resorted to command line instead. To be honest, it would probably have been fine if I took the time to learn the Mac idiosyncrasies like missing cut/paste, but Finder was one of my main gripes when I had to use Mac for work.
> I’ve found it’s often easier to write a shell script to be invoked by systemd than to handle certain issues in the unit file itself.

But that’s a completely fine solution, service files are not meant for declaring arbitrary logic.
>Has there?

Yes? That's what the whole article is about.

To be clear, it's doubtless brought benefit to assistive driving systems. And we may even see full autonomy under limited conditions (e.g. specific limited access highways in good weather) in a significantly shorter period of time.

But door to door robo taxis? Seems highly unlikely.

>I can't imagine investors/corporations dumping billions

There have been big pullbacks. And I wouldn't be the slightest bit shocked if Google/Alphabet pull the plug on Waymo one of these days--especially if they have to start tightening their belt for some reason.
Facebook faces prospect of ‘devastating’ data transfer ban after Irish ruling
You have to understand limitation of this study. This is not a best estimate for CFR or IFR. This is an estimate based on a review of seroprevalence studies. Some of them are complete crap (IFR 0.0%!), a lot of them are biased towards taking samples from people who went through an influenza like illness recently. And even if done perfectly about 5% of people had some antibodies against coronaviruses even way before the pandemic so there is some background level that should be subtracted from the seroprevalence but almost never is.
"client called and complained about lost revenue when we did it the way that's specified in our documentation so we're gonna put a note in the checklist to override it going forward"
Having a lot of small composable functions and a lot of singly linked lists describes most functional programming languages though. I think that's only one part of the traditional Unix design. Though to me it was always seemed like the inspiration goes the opposite way -- it seems like Unix was in some ways designed as a "Lisp-like," where the shell works as a somewhat restricted version of functional programming that only operates on one data type.
Yeah, I've heard similar about MQA.

To be honest though, what's the science behind any of these formats in terms of listening experience? Clearly there are differences in the data and how much of the original content is represented. But have there been any studies on whether people can actually tell any difference?

I've come across some quizzes online, etc., and those mostly suggest I can sometimes tell, but even when I can, it's not obvious and it doesn't really impact my experience. Would be curious whether anyone has studied this more fully.
Look at the actual numbers though. I think the biggest writing on the wall that the hype is starting to be weighed in valuation is Waymo.

Waymo is arguably the most technologically advanced of all the self-driving efforts. However they were initially valued at 175 billion, Morgan Stanley downgraded it to 105 billion, and their last external funding round valued them at 30 billion.

You don't need to be a VC fund to realize that is a hell of a drop (most probably because the initial valuations were hyped by the 'just around the corner' momentum).
I take it you are also uniquely convinced that you are superior in this regard, then. :)

But here's an honest question: why are you on HN, then? Sure, it's a decent source of tech&related news. But there's no reason for you to spend time reading and writing comments, if you truly believe it's as bad as you say.
Imo the real reason this company exists is asserting that deepfakes have economic value and suing unauthorized creators of same. You're not going to get a deepfakes of Beyonce advertising a local car lot at any price. But you can bet she wants to protect her likeness (including her voice, and digital recreations of it) and will give a company the authority to go after anyone using it.
I don't believe it.

If I read that right they claim that they can deliver "spatial" audio via headphones using a multi-channel/object-based Dolby Atmos (as opposed to a binaural recording or something that else that is mixed for two channels ahead of time)

For years there has been talk about

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-related_transfer_function

and for years I have tried demos that are unimpressive, particularly in favorable areas such as video games. Sure, with practice you can learn "sounds like I have a head cold" means "the audio source is supposed to be above my head" but it's nothing like real life.

I invite you to test out your own "spatial audio" abilities in your environment, including:

* locating sound sources within a few degrees and pointing at them
* your ability to estimate how far away sounds are
* your ability to sense walls in your environment from the sound of your footsteps reflecting off them and not walk into them

Every "spatial audio" technique (even binaural) is a pale shadow of your ability to localize sounds in an environment and simultaneously map the sound and the space that reflects the sound around it.

What's certain is that the signal is going to get heavy processing that will damage it -- the whole point of HRTF is that the timbre of the sound is distorted by your outer ears fairly violently as a function of angle. The distortion is real, but the spatial perception isn't. (Other spatial audio tricks run into problems with coherence -- if you have two copies of the same note combined electronically or acoustically they will be in phase in some places and out of phase in other places... Just like the "speckle" you would see if you diffused a laser pointer and tried to use it like a flashlight)
Apple TV doesn’t have speakers. The device sending audio digitally to another device (an actual TV or sound bar in this case) wouldn’t need one, the device driving the speakers would need one.
I've been considering Scala recently to move from Kotlin that seems to slow down in its evolution and future perspectives. But two points are still pain points for me 1) toxic community members 2) there is a NIH syndrome where there is pressure to rewrite everything in Scala when a Java lib exists (and I still don't know if it is because using Java libs is hard or just because of something else).
I am not an expert of Akka, but more or less the answer could be yes. I don't know if the following features are supported also in Akka:

- In jolie, it is quite transparent to develop a monolith or a distributed system of services. You always develop services and finally you can decide if deploy them as a monolith, or fragmenting the deployment into a distributed solutions (https://dzone.com/articles/between-monoliths-and-microservic...)

- Any input endpoint of Jolie (named inputPorts) can be exposed with different protocols (http/json, http/soap, sodep, etc) and you can have more inputPorts at the same time, thus you can receive messages for the same business logic from http/json, http/soap, etc. You can also split the available operations in different inputPorts. As an example you could receive admin messages in a https port, whereas you can leave in http teh public ones. But you can build meven more complex scenarios thanks to this feature.
