I profoundly appreciate your positive and detailed response. So let's starting addressing your considerations and questions:

1. The playing doesn't quite line up with the music at times: You absolutely nailed. In this particular gameplay the penalization when you miss a concrete note is so low that you hardly notice that the song and the playing is async playing. With this I mean that you GENERATE sound only when the note placed somewhere in the grid is touched in a determined interval time before that note would appear in the real MIDI.So for example:
A4 appears at 01:30:234. The player would then be prompted with a color gradient animation 1 SECOND before that (in this case: 01:29:234 in the gameplay). So the gradient intensifies until 600ms before the note appears in the MIDI (this threshold was built via experimentation and several neurological research about time response to visual stimulus). So the player now CAN touch the note to be perceived by the system as WELL PLAYED. If the touch is placed in this interval the note would be effectively reproduced at the associated time in the REAL MIDI. This system design choice was made because with this manipulation the overall sound quality was reproducible and constant among every play and close to the real MIDI (song).

2. Metronome: Once again, you nailed it. If you go to the beginning of the video you will see that we already thought about the learning curve of the game. So there were 3 MODES respectively, each one with a different tempo.

Easy: tempo is x0.5
Moderate: tempo is x0.75
REAL: no tempo modification from the real song, so this would mean equal bpm.

Also the gradient animation and the time interval given to the user in these different modes would change according to the coefficient that manipulates the tempo.For example in the easy mode the interval goes from 1 second to 2 second and now has 1200 ms to touch the note in time. The sound is also affected by the tempo, so as you would expect the song is played slower.

3. Free mode: We had and used it internally for research purposes. Like how we should arrange the notes over the grid for the most natural hand position. But we didn't release it because we wanted to lead the user instead of throwing to the market another beats application hahaha. We got inspired by guitar hero but for the launchpad instead.

Hope you find this reply good enough, have a great day!
I'm not sure what pulling rank would achieve here, you're talking to somebody who ran a datacenter in the same room as CSRG ran their BSD boxes (but 20 years later).

I completely and totally understood that this was not a real UNIX system.

What is a "hard J"?

As another speaker pointed out, the J in José is not silent or nearly-silent in Spanish. It is a sound that doesn't exist in mainstream English, but is most close to the English "h" sound.

Nice to always see this on HN... we have more landscapes out there too :)

https://landscapes.dev

There are also two sub landscapes in the CNCF landscape in case you're interested:

https://landscape.cncf.io/serverless
https://landscape.cncf.io/wasm (still in beta)

There's also a secret feature that shows who is raising funding etc in the space:
https://landscape.cncf.io/funding.html

Anyways, I know people like to hate on the cloud native landscape but the reality of the situation is that there is a large healthy competitive ecosystem out there and a lot of options.
For instance, the Java license explicitly forbids the use in/for real-time critical systems, and such limitations are good to stress in a license so that they may reach legal force, also to protect the author(s).

Incidentally, I've seen people violate the Java "no realtime" clause.
this is my question with a lot of this "science" - how are we ensuring that we're not incorporating researcher biases when setting up and training a new model?

To take a reasonably provocative example: if a new climate model predicted extremely low rates of change, would it be tuned so it showed change in the accepted range? If so, then how useful is this model to science?
Yes of course, if it's for a professional production (and these days even many Youtube videos are professional productions) a (semi)-pro camera has a lot more headroom. But it will require knowledge, experience and additional equipment to better what an iPhone will do out of the box.

This video is quite a good illustration, pitting an iPhone 12 Pro against a Sony A7iii (a quite respectable camera): https://youtu.be/TrEdAKCHSZg
With these default settings the A7iii is blowing out the highlights in the sky, the church and the swan. Which could have been prevented by choosing one of the Log settings but then it would have required making adjustments during video editing.

If it's for taking a video of family / kids and sharing it immediately with friends/family, the iPhone will produce better results with minimal effort (and that's not to mention having to bring a heavy camera, lenses, tripod/gimbal, accessories).
While I'm not a fan of Apple in most regards, I think their approach to mobile hardware is much more coherent than NVidia and Intel right now.

Generally speaking - The CPU just isn't the performance bottleneck on most machines that people are intending to carry with them during the day.

The performance bottleneck is the battery and the temperature.

I think it's incredibly telling that from this chart (produced by intel, designed to promote intel products) my takeaway is intel has missed the mark entirely. The relative performance of their chips just doesn't matter when you realize that the M1 chips are SO MUCH BETTER at power usage. The ranges for power draw barely even overlap - the M1 is getting you ~100% of the performance, using half the power of the lowest power intel chip.

That's the win. Full stop.

It means the machine with that CPU is going to run cooler for longer. It means that cpu isn't going to be thermally throttled so you can actually use all of it (unlike that intel). It means you still have a running machine 15 hours later, instead of having a dead brick after just 5.

Ethically - I refuse to buy any general purpose machine Apple makes, but I'm sad Intel is so far off the mark here.
I wonder how often it is the case that code isn't considered an academic product per se, and so free to use. May have to make it very explicit.
Yes -- I almost stopped early in the article at "the deadly attack".

It was a disgusting action taken by the mob, but the nation heals more if the press acts _honestly_. Media bias (especially on that story) only divides and embitters people.
informed consent is for health trials, not approved medical products.
Good luck with that. Any links to stories of people who have successfully done that?
I am not saying you shouldn't solve the problem. I am saying that Tor is probably not the best tool available for the task if you don't specifically care about anonymity and there are more efficient tools available.

Zerotier is one example, Cloudflare Argo is another, tinc is another, Yggdrasil is another, Tailscale is another. Some VPN providers (like Mullvad) will happily forward ports to you from their VPN servers. As the author linked to at the very beginning of their post, you could even set up something similar by hand with a VPS (free-tier would suffice) and off-the-shelf VPN software like Wireguard.
I believed it until China started scoring own goals kneecapping their tech industry and their best and brightest kept coming to the West... Someday though, my VEMAX investments will look like a good decision.
They're turning this into a PR event for themselves and unfortunately others[1] are spreading it by hyping it up to what it really isn't. Plus, as another person put it - security researchers don't blur out sensitive details, they black them out.

You have the first amendment right to talk about crimes you are planning, but the government still gets to use what you said against you if you actually commit that crime.
I think your model works for a small scale and/or tight knowledge/architecture control. I had very bad experiences with SL at scale.

I guess a lot of us would let the DI container create a transient object (2: commands) for your case (2) which then does injection of the required services into the command (constructor) which then can get forwarded.
> US has not gun at the moment. They have their own share of problems with China and any conflict in Europe is not in their interest

We don’t want conflict in Europe. But we’re capable of sustaining it.

We won’t go to war over Ukraine, but we’ll economically cripple Russia, at great pain to ourselves and our allies, and line its borders with strike weapons if that happens. Because if Russia can break the agreements it signed as recently as 1994 it’s not unfeasible that it goes for Finland or even the Baltics next.

Putin isn’t bluffing. But he’s more likely to die in power if Russia doesn’t attempt a war.
It was pretty commonplace to lie to avoid the social persecution of having a baby outside of marriage. This was still fairly common even recently - a young girl would go to a nunnery and them come back with a child "they adopted". There is also no evidence of any miracles aside from games of telephone played over centuries.

We also have plenty of equally verified accounts of virgin births from other religions going back even further than Jesus. So if we're believing any claims of virgin birth followed by claims of miracles, then the Christian god must surely be lying by saying they're the only god

This seems like a nice little summary of all the other similar claims: https://www.smh.com.au/national/there-s-nothing-new-about-vi...

> Claims of divine intervention aside, virgin births may have a more human explanation – a tragic demonstration of the extreme measures women have been forced to take to save themselves and their reputations.
in my experience, it's almost inevitable that you end up calling some code you don't control that returns raw pointers. better hope you have access to the source or at least some good docs :)

It's also /xo'se/ in Mexico as far as I can tell. I'm not Mexican but I know a lot of Mexicans and am pretty sure that's how they'd pronounce it.

I would be very surprised if the "Spanish J" is silent anywhere; the person you're replying to almost certainly just made a mistake.
The same reason companies use byzantine IVR systems (phone menus). To save support costs by making people give up.
Yeah, that's totally cool. I'm doubtful that something like this will ever make it into Bitcoin but I'm really hopeful for what Ethereum could achieve in the long term. If these solutions prove to be better, I hope Monero will adopt them as well.

The rioters came fairly close to getting to the senators. Suppose the mob found Nancy Pelosi?

I think it is probable she would have been killed. That doesn’t mean they control the us government. But it’s non trivial.
I used the Vaio PCG-505 for a few years after college. I mostly worked as a freelancer, and it was surprisingly good as a work laptop.

I recall running Eclipse and recompiling the Linux kernel on that device.

The magnesium body had no match at the time. I didn't even mind the purple color.
YouTube shows you more of what you look for. If it stops doing that, people will use a 3rd-party search tool that lawmakers will be unable to censor (e.g. Reddit, Digg, 9gag, 4chan).

It's a scapegoat. If you want people to stop looking up content about distrusting the government, the solution is a more transparent government, not to stop them from watching the content.

That's good to know. I had similar feelings about wealth. At one point my wife and I were in the bottom 10% or lower, because of our student debt. Yeah when we graduated medical and dental school we had pretty negative net worth. But... does it really make sense to claim we had no wealth? Or that someone who made 20k a year with no debt should trade places with us? I think wealth and inequality studies are important, and if they don't address this issue they are misleading, even meaningless statistics.
Did something in the guidelines change recently? I am not noticing anything new. Or is this meant to be a reminder to people to be kind in their responses. I feel like I am missing some context.
I think "unfair" here is a legal term. Looking at the act they reference, I'm guessing they're arguing that Facebook abused its dominant market position to impose an "unfair" price per [0] (which is the only place "unfair" is mentioned in the document). I think they're also arguing that the price that users are paying isn't clear to them.

The difference between what they're arguing and your supermarket example is that there's competition in the UK for supermarkets [1] and that the price of the meat in the supermarket is right there on the label, while on Facebook you have to dig through the T&Cs to figure out what they're doing. Your standard supermarket also has margins of ~5% [2], while Facebook has 36% [3], so it might be argued that Facebook's price is unreasonably inflated due to the lack of competition.

Emphatically YES. Put the code on GitHub. It doesn't have to be perfect. Especially if it will take two months for someone to "get it right" from the paper. I've been involved in projects where we were trying to reproduce results from some paper both with code and without. The description of an algorithm in a paper can sometimes be unclear, often reading the code makes the description in the paper much clearer. In the cases where no node code is provided it's that much harder to reproduce the results. You want to make it as easy as possible for others to reproduce your results - give them your code - put it in a github repo. If they spot discrepancies between the code and what's described in the paper, then all the better - you can use that feedback to improve both.

I'll add: I think that we need to change the mindset in academia about code. If code was involved in producing the results in the paper that code should be considered part of the paper and (at least) as important as the text of the paper. (Same for data)
The most charitable hypothesis here is just libertarianism I think, especially because of its ideological prevalence in this crowd.
"Nearly Died" yes, because the leadership guiding the riot wasn't particularly competent. If they had control of more institutions, it would likely have been more successful.

When saying "any other show of power other than that they managed to break through a few weakly-secured doors" you downplay the fact they the rioters interrupted a session of Congress and succeeded in their purpose of delaying the certification of election results.
I get some kind of sick satisfaction out of watching a certain small subset of HN lose their mind trying to square the circle when it comes to stuff like this. On one hand “this is government overreach!” (it’s not because the committee here is on a specific task to investigate a specific crime) and “free market!” and on the other hand “big social media companies are evil and decide what’s right and what’s wrong.” Nevermind that this has nothing to do with “cancel culture”, “censorship”, or “mainstream media” and everything to do with an investigation. Just read the headline and get angry at… someone?
That's pretty much why it's called "Portuguese", they pushed the moors before other parts of Hispania did it and decided to get their own kingdom started instead of waiting for all the other nobles to finish the work. If it wasn't for that Portugal might not even exist as a country in itself.

I don't think your comparison to Soviet central planning really works. As far as I understand it, Soviet central planning worked in long term plans and quotas, with orders given from GOSPLAN all the way down, and if factory owners disagreed they'd have to go send the information all the way up and back down the ladder, while the actual information on production would be manipulated to look good and sent manually by bureaucrats.

On the other hand, cybersyn had no quotas, and no long term rigid plans. Informational exchange did not have to go through bureaucrats, and could be done directly from the factory, eventually automatically by the equipment, and update a digital model that would do a large part of what the bureaucrats at GOSPLAN would do, but automatically and verifiably.

So it seems very, very different to me.
Option 1) Upgrade the security on the containers

Option 2) Re-work society from the ground up to eliminate any incentive for burglary

It is no wonder why folks are drawn more to Option 1, which is about a bajillion times more approachable, but which doesn't preclude also working on Option 2 at the same time.

The (US) constitutional protections on speech constrain the actions of US governments; those constraints don't extend to private companies and individuals.

And "principles" are things you can adopt and agree with as you see fit. They are not law. Not everyone takes an absolutist position that "free speech" is a principle we should all be defending to the last ditch.

I'm waiting for the day that these substances come in a bottle that has all the disclaimers from the controlled study in fine print at the bottom.

You may have missed the indictment yesterday for seditious conspiracy against the Oath Keepers. It contains evidence of the kind you are looking for.

It's baffling that the Android doesn't have a "Steam-like" game store app. Humble was close to that, but the company did not invest any resources into that realm. I can only assume there's some other factor that prevents publishers from building an Android store, because right now it seems like a clear market need.

Yes... some people died, but it wasn't what the media made it to be. Two protesters died of heart attacks, one died of an overdose, and one died of being shot by a cop. One died of a stroke and was widely misreported of being hit in the head with a fire extinguisher when that didn't actually happen, and four cops later committed suicide. This is all according to FactCheck.org.

Was it great? Absolutely not - but it wasn't anything remotely close to, say, even the most minor altercations between America and Britain.

>"That's not looking for a scapegoat; it's looking for a set of root causes "

I wouldn't say they are looking for a scapegoat, it's just political theater and tactical expediency. Furthermore, I'd also say "root causes" is not quite right either. At the end of the day, this is a very partisan committee and I believe they understand the power in getting these big social media companies to crack down on conservative content under the guise of preventing "extreme/radical content".

If you're proud of what you achieved then implement the code, but if you fear it's not good enough and rather stay under the guise of ambiguity of "imagine what could be" don't publish the code. Publishing code is less evil.

Oh wow, great to see someone else still enjoying and even using a Vaio P!

After lots of lusting over them back when they where new (1) I managed to find a used gen 2 one a while back and just adore it. To me the gen 2 series devices are still one of the most beautiful gadgets ever designed, but I am a huge Sony fanboy so ymmv.

I rock a neon green version with a blazingly fast 1.6ghz Atom and crisp 1600x768 screen - its still quite usable like OP describes, runs fine with Lubuntu, though nowadays I only use it to play some DOSbox games once in a while.
