Partly. It’s also because data modelling and cleaning can cause data warehouse implementations to drag on for years.
Nvidia Jetson Nano - similar to a Pi but more optimised for ML/AI stuff (though I think the RPi 4 has closed that gap somewhat)

Intel NUC - a great step up if you’re using your Pi for Home Automation (eg Home Assistant) and want something more robust/powerful. Likewise if you’re running PiHole or Docker. I have a NUC running VMware ESXI with Home Assistant, PiHole and a couple of other Docker containers and VMs. Most of these started on RPis but I decided I wanted something a bit more beefy. I also backup the VMs to my Synology using the Synology’s superb ESXi compatible backup software which is so good I tend to want to put everything in ESXi now and I’ll often create tiny Linux VMs for applications which I would previously have used a Pi for.

Arduino (or similar) - not strictly an alternative but a good step down in price and complexity for things that don’t need a full blown computer (simple robotics or home automation components/sensors).

Apple Pie - great if you don’t like raspberries. Fully wireless and nice with custard or ice cream.
You can run Ardour headless and control it 100% using OSC (from the command line, with oscsend, or from a touch device (phone/tablet) using eg. TouchOSC). You could also get significant but not as extensive control using MIDI.
1. shrug that hasn't been my experience. You also mentioned blue screens in another comment, but I've only seen one blue screen in the last decade and that one was my fault (RAM timings too tight; Surprised it lasted long enough to run a benchmark).

2. Like I told the other guy: "Yeah I'll just trade in my RTX 3090 for something that has half the performance and doesn't support tensorflow"

4. More fragmentation? If the most popular distro is a joke, why would I try something even more unstable (rolling release)?

6. Flatpak and snap are definitely progress. When more people can run identical binaries, I suspect a lot of these problems will go away. There will still be issues with administration (why are there so many ways to configure networking?), but yeah it's progress.

7. Why would I want "decent performance"? I want low latency (min 300fps rendering) while running at max quality

8. Then you've never measured it. Try listening to your own voice using software audio loopback. You'll find that the default audio latency is greater than internet latency within the US. That leads to people interrupting each other in video calls and callouts being late in co-op games
Maybe, but that is for insurance companies to decide. Just like they decide rates for smokers, obese people, etc.

Although I don't know of any insurance companies that have rates for people that have not undergone certain medical procedures. That sounds unethical to me.
I don't think that's right. There have been predictions saying ridiculous things that never came to pass since the 80s.
Wouldn't it be more analogous to if the state or the Department of Transportation paid for all accidents since they are the ones controlling the system? Insurance companies don't have any power to change road designs or traffic laws.

I may be completely wrong, but I remember reading some spacecraft have a couple “streams” of data. Control signals tend to be encrypted (don’t want a backyard idiot wrecking your spacecraft), but for most other things the limited bandwidth makes encryption overhead unappealing.

Would love to hear someone who actually knows this stuff speak to it.
Ok, so again, that is my point: Race is too dangerous to study, the bad people might make the wrong conclusions with it.

I have no idea how you would define race. I don't know why you would expect me to. I also have no idea how you specifically define certain other aspects of biology that you probably accept as real and accurate, because I'm not a biologist or a geneticist.
The extra hoop is having to start a2jmidi and have the ports not be as "integrated" into the JACK server ports as they could be.

By contrast, JACK1 contains a2jmidid as a builtin client, no extra work is needed. You just start JACK, all your MIDI devices are listed.
You can't escape a monopoly of such size. There isn't a city where housing is cheap. At best it is a temporary situation or your view is biased by working in a above average income field.

Zoning will bever help. Once you make space for more housing, developers will build units to be snatched up for speculation that will be left vacant.

You need the housing market to clear. To release unused units to the market. For that you need land tax or an equivalent.
Then why did you even reply?

But who sees action takers as any of those things? More sustainable living- things like recycling, biking, better agriculture, cleaner energy, etc. etc- have been all the rage for the last 30 years. Getting funding for research even tangentially related to climate change or clean energy has been easy since the 90s. The stock market goes nuts for clean energy. The idea that people aren't taking it seriously is silly to me. The problem is there are just so many more people every year, not that people don't care.
>> expectations that the AR Easter egg set up

Apple has been providing AR invitation experiences prior to previous events (without expectation of AR products).

As @rvz said "it's always about what they don't show you in their updates".

The hint that stuck out for me is that despite process change (to 5nm) Apple didn't do a song and dance about the increase in speed from the previous generations, and instead compared their speed to the competition. They didn't even mention the SoC for the new Apple Watch.

This combined with the new Object Capture (photogrammetry) API only coming to Monterey (and not iOS) makes me thing that the mobile configuration of the chips (and more so the power requirements for this type of workload) are probably not where they need to be to support AR at this time.

These tea leaves are only around the chip / power and don't even touch on everything else that is required for AR (hear optics etc).
> The economic ramifications of increased emissions reduction will fuck us as well.

So are you proposing that the best course of action is to literally do nothing because of the economic ramifications? This is the obviously important question and the fact that you chose not to address it is at best: lazy, but at worst and most likely: negligent.

There will be economic ramifications no matter what we do. Society needs to make hard decisions about what positive actions to take, including inaction, and there are no easy answers.

Please try harder in the future to avoid being flippant and/or partisan and also aim to meaningfully engage with the discussion about the problem at hand constructively.
Here are a few to get you started: https://slate.com/technology/2021/07/noble-lies-covid-fauci-...

Your team allegiance is showing.
Do you believe that life begins at conception? Or at birth?

Or is it somewhere in between? Do you feel comfortable marking the line where life possibly begins? If you mark it before birth, aren't you just giving ammunition to anti-abortion advocates to take away freedom from women? Should we just say that life begins at birth, and shut down anyone who asks otherwise, because anything else is dangerous and possibly arbitrary and not 100% accurate in rare cases?
I still don't get how that is related, in my opinion, that is unlikely to change until there are tools that make it easy to resolve all those various threading/communication/latency issues on the developer side before a plugin is even distributed. So as long as you can just distribute any old shared object to get around that, I don't expect to see it to improve.

Maybe someone could come up with another way to do it that works across DAWs, and then plugins could still happen, but I consider this unlikely because with that there is never going to be a reliable way for the host to verify it that works better than what we have now (user reports X plugin works with Y host, etc).
The hospital morgues are filling up too. What is your advice for the over-capacity morgues? What conspiracy is creating the need for hasty mass graves? Can you think of how that's as common as something like pregnancy?

Literally just have a step back and look at yourself debating this. COVID deniers are literally quibbling over what is written on death certificates as people are dying en masse.
>There are no long term studies so calling it incredibly safe is misleading at best. What happens if some issues start cropping up in 5 or 10 years.

Do you think this is a thing we do in general before starting to produce and distribute vaccines? If you are under that impression, I must inform you, it is not the case. We do not spend a decade watching for vaccine side effects before we begin vaccinating people, even when the situation is "normal" and not the same as COVID.
That is a coping mechanism for the obese. It is simply not true.
If you are doing this sort of work I highly recommend the Datasketches library. It's used in Druid, which is a database specifically designed for these sorts of aggregations over ridiculously large datasets.

What's your estimate of the probability of collapse, and why?

I'd put it in the low single digits or maybe lower, on the basis that a cascade of things need to go wrong: first you need a climate scenario that exceeds the IPCC estimates, then you need significant damage or conflict, then you need a potential collapse event to emerge from the conflict, then the event has to trigger collapse on its own or other events have to occur and combine with it.

Curious to hear your thoughts though, because I haven't put firm numbers on anything or looked deeply into any of the research on collapse specifically.
The CDC saw roughly 1300 cases of myocarditis or myopericarditis reported in mRNA vaccine recipients under 29 years old, after administering 52 million doses to that same age group, a minuscule risk and one much lower than that presented by COVID-19. [1]

And even then, in those cases, the vast majority resolve on their own with minimal medical intervention. [2]

But hey, have a link to the CDC source of that presentation so you don’t have to go to that .win site anymore to find your sources. They’re pretty bad at sourcing information over there [3]

If you're willing to say "this deduction only helps wealthy Californians but I define 'wealthy' as people buying median-priced (and lower) homes" than I'll get on board with that statement. I don't think it's a super ambitious or useful one though.
The UK doesn't really have dealerships competing with each other (there will generally only be one x dealer in each town, and while the manufacturers do compete with each other to a certain extent, nearby dealers tend to be targeting different segments - in contrast to e.g. banks or supermarkets where you often get two very similar direct competitors right next to each other), and you absolutely do get charged monopoly rents as a result. There are strong consumer protection laws that mean people do generally have access to repairs, which blunts the worst impact, but I wouldn't hold it up as an example of a system that works well.
> If a low skilled worker can produce 100$ an hour of value, and you're paying them 10$ and hour, someone else will very quickly be willing to pay them 11$, or 12$, etc.

You’re ignoring worker supply. If there are more workers than jobs available, wages will remain low regardless how productive they are. If there are few workers available the price of their labor will rise as employers try to outbid each other for the labor. Supply & demand for labor controls which side of the equation ends up in a bidding war for the other side.

The productivity of labor doesn’t set the price of labor, if that were true then labor saving devices would drive wages up, which they clearly do not. Rather it’s supply and demand that sets wages, with productivity setting the ceiling since few employers want to hire people at a loss.
I don't get it, didn't anonymous start on 4chan? Why are they attacking this company which is hosting similar content? I thought anonymous used to only attack megacorps
Why does anyone deserve to pay 0% tax on gains, even for early stage companies? Why not the guy who works in the sewer or digs ditches for a living? It reeks of plutocracy.

And again, I support the QSBS. I'm trying to put things into perspective for the HN crowd that somehow sees 6 to 8 figure payouts as something that deserves 0% tax, yet also votes for liberal politicians. These things do not square, at least for the average non-techie voter.
> I want to like Ardour but it’s a miserable piece of software to try to make music in. Feels like a chore to perform any action, kills my vibe, would not recommend. After trying really hard to become comfortable using it, I finally gave up and bought Bitwig. It’s a proprietary DAW and kinda expensive but I’ve been producing music with it for a couple of years and it’s a dream to use - sort of a spiritual successor to Ableton IMO.

As I've mentioned above, I get all kinds of email about Ardour, some declaring their love for it, and some much more condemnatory than anything you've said here.

The point is that "trying to make music" isn't much of a description: people's workflows for "making music" vary dramatically. Not many years ago, more or less the only way to do this was to record yourself playing one or more instruments and/or singing. These days, there are many fundamentally different workflows, and countless minor variations of each one. If Bitwig works for you, it's no surprise that Ardour doesn't. There's a bunch of people for whom the opposite is true. You have to be prepared to try different tools and figure out which ones work for you.

Finally, ASIO and JACK don't really at the same level. JACK on Windows actually uses ASIO. The comparison to ASIO on Linux is ALSA, and sure, I'd agree that it's better than ASIO is most ways (though maybe not 100%).
I don't bite. There's a whole diaspora of name registrars, but only one of them marketed themselves as the right-leaning choice (Rob Monster made damn sure of that). Hacks like this are the price of doing business with egomaniacs.
> Productivity is an input to the supply of competition, so it does more than create a ceiling, it also serves as an upward force on the floor.

This is trivially disprovable. Did grocery stores increase the wages of their clerks once self checkout was a thing, or did they keep wages the same and lay off some of them?

Productivity only affects wages when there’s competition for labor, not when there’s competition for jobs. When there’s competition for jobs productivity gains are captured by the company, not the laborer.

> Do business leaders lobby to reduce public sector wages and benefits?

They absolutely do, yes. I’m genuinely baffled how you’ve never heard this. The Chamber of Commerce crowd is always trying to shrink governments (and their tax bills), and attacking public unions is a big part of this.
In your comment above, the last half semi-conflicted with the first half, which could easily be interpreted to imply that we shouldn’t really worry or do anything about it. Individually, that may be somewhat true / useful. But on a societal level it is quite harmful when it comes to climate change. I think that is why you are taking heat.
HN has evolved features for simultaneously doing wrong and hiding the evidence of that wrongdoing. When there's no evidence, who's to say HN isn't really a wonderful place where openminded and curious people have freewheeling discussions?

It's not different, and in fact most DAWs are already doing something along these lines internally to actually implement an abstraction layer that can load various plugin formats and have them all interact. That's actually my key point: it wouldn't be significantly different for users.
Yeah, the rates soared in the 1970s, and went over 20%. The 1980s also gave birth to Adjustable Rate Mortgages, in an effort to get more borrowers with the promise of lower rates a decade later. Which then of course led to predatory lending practices when they'd start with a low rate, switch to a high rate, and the borrower would default. So in the 90s, with interest rates still high, regulation was passed to lower the capital requirements for Fannie & Freddie to give out loans - leading to more lending than could be covered by capital, leading in 2008 to a spectacular global "whoops!".

I think the housing prices are high because the market can get away with it. If I'm selling a house, new or old, I'm gonna price it at what the market values it at, even if it cost less to produce or if I didn't pay that much for it. And the value of it will keep going up as long as there appear to be buyers for it, and most cities in the country aren't losing value as long as the economy grows.
Interesting, I bet that's an experience that most people on HN haven't had (I certainly haven't!). Since lots of the comments (including mine) have focused on how hard it is to take advantage of software engineering tools online without a CS/software background, and how hard it is to develop that background in precarious circumstances, it could be really interesting to write more about how you came to learn these things yourself.
There are also people who think open source is the holy grail of security because "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow". And is used as an argument. So it cuts both ways.

The better medical journals do stress the hazard ration efficacy and the confidence interval.

See the extract below from the NEJM:
Seasonal Malaria Vaccination with or without Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention

"The hazard ratio for the protective efficacy of RTS,S/AS01E as compared with chemoprevention was 0.92 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84 to 1.01), which excluded the prespecified noninferiority margin of 1.20.

The protective efficacy of the combination as compared with chemoprevention alone was 62.8% (95% CI, 58.4 to 66.8) against clinical malaria, 70.5% (95% CI, 41.9 to 85.0) against hospital admission with severe malaria according to the World Health Organization definition, and 72.9% (95% CI, 2.9 to 92.4) against death from malaria.

The protective efficacy of the combination as compared with the vaccine alone against these outcomes was 59.6% (95% CI, 54.7 to 64.0), 70.6% (95% CI, 42.3 to 85.0), and 75.3% (95% CI, 12.5 to 93.0), respectively."
