Yup, there’s a stand-alone piece of software called Waveclock which can do that: https://wavesum.net/waveclock-audio-to-midi-clock.html.

This will output midi clock messages, so you’d need to find a way to convert these to trigger whatever you want to trigger. There’s probably software to do this, or you could write your own.

You’ll want to create a “loopback” or “virtual” MIDI cable so your software can receive the MIDI messages from Waveclock (on Mac you can use the built in IAC Bus feature for this, on Windows I think you’ll need a driver, or you might be able to directly create a midi input in your code depending on the library), then it should be a fairly simple case of responding to MIDI clock messages (there are usually 24 clock messages per beat, so you’ll want to only respond to every 1 in 24).

There are libraries for pretty much every language to make working with MIDI easier - JS supports WebMIDI (and there are npm libs to make working with it easier), JUCE is a good C++ framework for this kind of thing, and for Swift you can try AudioKit.

For the musicians out there, Ableton Live 11 can also follow the tempo of live music and sync your set to it.
“I would challenge you to name any (non-simple) problem where traditional AI methods are still state of the art.”

Lossless file compression. As far as I know none of the algorithms in widespread use are neural-based, despite the fact that compression is clearly a rich statistical modeling problem, at least on par with GPT-3-style language understanding in difficulty. There are published attempts to solve the problem with neural networks, but they simply don’t work well enough to date. Modern solutions also still use old-fashioned AI ingredients like compiled dictionaries of common natural-language words — any other domain where nat-lang dictionaries are useful has been conquered by neural solutions, e.g. spelling and grammar checkers.
When I was in college I submitted printed assignments generated with LaTeX; made it easier for the teacher to grade and I was able to do a fair bit of copy/paste.

Same age as you. I have a lot of friends in the Philippines. I swear the Facebook employment info of half the people in the Philippines says they work at the Krusty Krab. (And for most filipinos, the internet = facebook.) For some reason I never asked what that meant, and for many years I thought that was just some odd joke, and was vaguely puzzled about how widespread it is. Eventually I happened on the Spongebob connection!

This is my experience as well. I no longer interview for things, I interview people who want to hire me. At this point in my career, as an engineering IC, my initial conversations are with the VP/GMs of business units.

Younger me would have been very surprised how much i actually enjoy these conversations with manager types. In my experience, _most_ of the VP GM and CEO types are much broader and more interesting than most engineers tend to believe, at least younger me.

Bingo. Fuck this gaslighting. The vast majority of pollution in general, and CO2 in particular, comes from industry, not individuals. Tossing trash everywhere and running gas through your bus-like SUV like a maniac is an asshole move, and your neighbors don't appreciate it, but it doesn't move the needle much on actual environmental issues. Big companies and big foreign nations are where the CO2 is coming from. They have a stranglehold on congress thanks to their money, so good luck forcing change. But in the meantime let's stop wringing our hands over "lifestyle changes". They don't matter.
You can have almost all of those benefits without using network calls as your boundary. Nearly every benefit you listed is a consequence of having enforced boundaries, not of microservices specifically.

Microservices do provide technical benefits for a small monitory of companies, but for the rest of us it’s almost entirely a solution to organizational/human problems.
I don't think this is actually super obvious to someone that isn't familiar with macOS and is used to using linux.

My experience with FAANGS is that their bar is universal. Even if you're going to a team which somehow won't require solving hard problems collaboratively under pressure, ability to do so is the bar for working at the company.

As the person you're replying to says, they use the interview style that gives them signal about this. And in general, unless one work at a FAANG and understands the roles, how does one think they have the correct perspective on how FAANG ought to be hiring for their roles?

The Stoics inherited the Cynics attitude that death isn't an evil. If worse comes to worst, you can always just fall on your sword. They used to say that the door is always open. Marcus Cato weaponized this fact to rob Julius Caesar of complete victory: Caesar couldn't demand his submission if he fell on his sword first. They found him and patched him up. But he ripped out the stitches and disemboweled himself with his bare hands.

If arguments about CoL or geography or nationalism quite being persuasive to potential hires, the hiring organization will simply switch to some other arguments. It's just business.

This resonates with my own experience. It's an interesting perspective which requires a re-definition of the word 'elite'.

I think the root of the problem is that value creation and value capturing are independent from each other. A well-functioning economic system should be designed in such a way that the two are intertwined such that an individual cannot capture value from the system without first creating at least as much value for the system.

The problem we have nowadays is that the current monetary system has created opportunities for people to capture value (in the form of fiat currency) from the system whilst not creating any new value in return (in the form of useful products and services). The monetary system has even made it possible to capture value whilst actually destroying net value from the system.

As an open source developer, I got to experience the downside of this dynamic; I was able to create a lot of value but not able to capture any value in return. I know that if I had tried to capture any value back from the system, my ability to create value would have been reduced to 0 (adoption of my product would have been 0; because nobody would have paid for it; not because it doesn't add value for them, but because they needed to start using it to understand its value and they wouldn't have started using it unless it was free to begin with; simply because there is too much noise in the market place; too much cheap 'newly printed' fiat capital sloshing around advertising competitors' expensive but inferior products). The system allowed me to create value, but only on the condition that I would forfeit my ability to capture the proceeds of the value I created.

> Source: List of countries by suicide rate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r... (Sort by all descending)

> Thoughts?

My thought is please don't do this. You get no useful information. Wikipedia strips out all the necessary context. The source that Wikipedia uses explicitly tells you that comparing rates across countries is difficult and fraught with problems.

Heck, comparing rates across a single country - the US - is tricky because they've only just developed a unified definition of "suicide".

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/suicide

> Globally, the availability and quality of data on suicide and suicide attempts is poor. Only some 80 Member States have good-quality vital registration data that can be used directly to estimate suicide rates. This problem of poor-quality mortality data is not unique to suicide, but given the sensitivity of suicide – and the illegality of suicidal behaviour in some countries – it is likely that under-reporting and misclassification are greater problems for suicide than for most other causes of death.
> Somehow vaccinated people are scared of unvaccinated or vaccinated-but-unmasked people

I can't speak for everyone, but even with a vaccine I can still transmit covid to my young children. I'll breathe easier once they are vaccinated too.

> Then, all schools in US are open to kids who cannot even be vaccinated

There are other factors besides COVID. Quarantine was not good for our kids, and we made the decision to send them back too school when we saw how much they were suffering due to lack of socialization.

Additionally, working with kids at home was next to impossible. We are taking a calculated risk sending them back because the bills, unfortunately, do not pay themselves. It was not an easy decision.
In old Polish there was also a special form of name for unmarried women, so for example:

Jan Kowalski has a daughter, Anna Kowalska.

When she is young, she is called Anna Kowalszczonka, Kowaliczka or Kowalówna depending on who you asked (and you can't reliably reverse these forms into the original name)

When she is grown up, she is called Anna Kowalska.

As it happens, the country was part of the Russian empire, so she's also called Анна Ковалска or Aнна Kовалская, depending on who you asked.

When she marries Jan Kowal, she is called Anna Kowalowa or Anna Kowal.

When Jan Kowal dies and she marries Wawrzyniec Słowacki, she is called Anna Słowacka. But her husband is from Austria-Hungary, so he's also called Laurentius Slowacki somewhere in his documents, even though he never uses this name for anything.

Their son Stefan moves to Lithuania, but even though he's ethnically Polish, Lithuanian government requires him to have "Steponas Slovackis" printed on his documents.
If you’re not willing to walk away from the deal then you’re not actually negotiating.
I can definitely relate to being closer to former colleagues on the other side of us both working at the same company/division/team/whatever. I think it's maybe that thing like when you run into someone you went to camp or high school or whatever with in a foreign city— even if you weren't that close at the time, it's a jumping off point for bypassing that flirtatious pre-friendship stage where you don't actually talk about much of anything, and get right to the good stuff (and no, not just talking about romantic relationships; a lot of friendships start this way too, and many never leave it).
I interview quite a bit of people. I always do it in a laid back, conversational style. When I ask technical questions, somewhere towards the middle or end of the session, I do it because I just want to know that the person I talked with understands some fundamentals (it's never a tricky question; just something basic like creating some threads, etc).

I talk with them about their previous work, stuff they're proud of, their hobbies and other things.

They are still mostly full as I understand.

If I was to write an article on what might be improved: We need more translational research (product focused, using existing knowledge) and less academic research.

One problem I see is that there just isn't the springboard from academic research to commercialization in physics like there is in comp sci or biotech.

Granted I'm biased. I founded my company (zeroK NanoTech) to capitalize on laser cooling research. Two Nobel prizes and countless professors pushing the boundaries on this stuff since the 90's. And my little company is going to be the first to deliver a product that's a black box to the user wrt to the science but delivers some new capabilities. The ion trap quantum computing may yet pay (much larger) dividends to society and those guys are also now making big pushes as well. Might be fair to count the resurgence of rocketry and fusion in this category as well.

So maybe things *are* looking up after all!
I run multiple physical data centers with thousands of individual machines that operate autonomously. I proxy/cache API hits to the Github API so that each machine can download a small binary app that runs on each of them that works to ensure each machine is operating as it should.

It is a whole self-upgrade process that involves using Github CI to do the binary build on commit (and run the unit tests, of course) to produce a new version.

The app (running on each box) periodically queries a versions file stored in git (also proxied through a worker) so they know which build to download. I can segment versions of the app across CIDR so that I can do channel (alpha/beta/stable) based releases for testing.

It is a pretty epic solution since the workers only cost $5/month and totally saves my bacon with just a small bit of simple code.
Anecdotally, it feels like I must restart WindowServer in OSX more often I've had to restart explorer/dwm in Windows. But neither are particularly reliable, in my experience.
Yeah,

All the things that article describes as "evasiveness" are what I'd describe as taking into account the messiness of the world. I mean, I might remember being at a restaurant with people and deciding to go to a show with them. Did I actually go to the show? I don't know, maybe I changed my mind on the way if I have no memory of the show or maybe I did go.

A lot of the article seems about ways to bully people into making "obvious" conclusions, stating things definitely when they are not, in fact sure of their answers and so-forth. And a lot of tactics are about the common sense of language. "Surely you'd remember X if you in fact did it" "Come on, either the situation had X quality or it didn't" etc. In contrast to this intuition, I think there are quite a few studies on memory and language having some inherent fuzziness to them.

Edit: in defense of the parent article, it's writing in an assumed context of professionals operating according to standards. In this context, people have both an obligation and a series of reminders to be exact in their memory of events and the events themselves should be more cut-and-dried. The real problem is someone expects this standard of exactness to carry over to casual human activity (writing, tweeting or socializing).

Keep in mind the article is about dealing with evasion. You seem to be assuming that "I don't know" is being seen as evasive, but it's really being assumed because that's what the article is about.

Also, depositions are by law conducted the same way testimony at a trial would be, so the lawyer can't herself testify–asking a whole lot of questions is mandatory.

Are you saying you think the lawyer should say "The distance from you to me is about five feet. The distance to the wall is about fifteen feet. The distance to that building you see through the window is about eighty feet. How far away would you say <thing> was?" Because that seems unnecessary when an appropriate answer would be "I don't know how many feet, but about the distance to that wall."
Lol the timing of this complaint couldn’t be more timely with the arrival of new 14-inch MBP…

Yes, it had to be identical. The problem with romanization of Cyrillic is that there's no commonly accepted standard, and I suspect the employees who process the applications were very unlikely to be Russian, so they would have no idea how to match our romanized variant to what's found on the ID scans. At least if they allowed Cyrillic in the submit form, they could have compared it visually as a set of pictograms, no need to know Cyrillic by heart. And it wasn't some US-only application thing we ran into by mistake, it talked about providing identification documents "of your country". But for some reason, they excluded all countries which don't use Latin alphabet.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal in most of western Europe. In theory at least. You can't just go and help a friend paint their house, but you can go and paint a child or parents house.
