Schenker is pretty questionable anyway. He was a mediocre composer (at best) and it's perfectly possible to create credible multiple analyses of the same piece of music.

So while it's true that classical style(s) are very specific, it's also true they're all different. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin are not speaking the same language. They don't even speak the same language across their careers.

So while there are common techniques - like the idea of elaboration - they're really just the most obvious surface features, and implementing them is not nearly enough to produce decent pastiche.

AI/Music research is littered with the the corpses of projects that have attempted to do this. It's an incredibly hard problem - because unlike a board game, the "rules" change all the time, and there is no clear definition of "winning."

You can certainly mass-produce musical content in a fairly simple style - say minimal techno - and then cherry pick the best output. But even that turns out to be harder than it seems, and it's not real AI unless you can formally define why some output is better than other output. Beyond some fairly minimal perceptual and psychoacoustic basics, there's almost no research into that.

Really, we know much less about music than we think we do. Theory, Schenker included, is a very basic introduction. The interesting bits happen elsewhere, and we really don't understand how they work.
Seems like the more companies like this with varying abilities of marketing to get as widespread outreach the better.
Well, the other side of the coin is US intelligence agencies monitoring and collecting all traffic, far outside its jurisdiction.
Well, it ARM is harmless, than Intel has no reason to fear them and place them explicitly on their strategy.

We're trying to re-imagine popular SQL clients (phpMyAdmin, MySQL Workbench) to have the design and software quality of modern tools like Superhuman, Linear, etc. We make it very easy to query and create charts from your database then share it with your team.

We currently support MySQL, Postgres, PlanetScale, Yugabyte, and in the next couple of weeks SQLite and ClickHouse.
In either case it is requiring the users to make an account with the violators, which is a problem in itself.
Are you referring to SO_REUSEADDR?

Yeah you don't get that same feeling by letting a machine do all the work.
> However, you do not control the Market.

Not entirely true. Part of finding Product-Market fit isn't only to shape your product, it's also to possibly redefine your target user as well. Often you will discover a use-case that is stronger than the one you set out with at the start with only minor changes to the original product idea.

Do you have a link to the paper that shows this?
All good stuff this, thank you! Some of it I knew intuitively but not good enough to really understand, let alone explain it to others.

The tire and air pressure thing is perfectly logical and anybody can demonstrate this, as you pump up the tire the spoke pitch goes down.

These companies are not the same and are not offering drugs at cost. I searched for a drug that I’m paying a ton for (even with insurance). Honeybee doesn’t have it, Blink quoted me $1,200. With insurance it’s $600, GoodRx let’s me get it for $200.
You have to pay for support. I've found it to be one of the best. I've open a ticket in the portal with a detailed issue before I go to lunch and have a level 3 tech call me before I get back.

I've had this happen multiple times for multiple services and the person's i was able to work with had enough knowledge and access to either see detailed logs and walk me through some undocumented feature or file a bug report by days end.

I'm spoiled in that regard but I've never had non-enterpise support with anything other than the 4 hour sla.

Not quite, but it is engineering.

> Overtensioning is actually pretty easy

Again what materials are you using? When at optimal tensions in a mtb wheel from mavic, you would already be turning really hard and in danger of damaging the nipples before overtensioning. It really is not that easy if you tensioned the wheel evenly
The film The Caine Mutiny helped inspire the 25th amendment to the US Constitution. That's based on a book, so even if you want to narrow it to literature, it still works.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/09/1...

Of course, nothing happens just because someone saw a movie about it. The 25th amendment was also prompted by the assassination of JFK, and the new awesome responsibilities of the US president in nuclear brinkmanship.

But I think literature and especially film are a kind of artificial experience, a memory of something that never happened. And we can start to take steps to realize or avoid those events.

These effects can be subtle, but not that hard to trace. For instance, the police greatly benefit from their nearly universal portrayal as heroes on film and TV. I think you can draw a direct line from that to the massive police budgets you see in North America.
Are you aware millions of Americans don’t have such insurance?
Supermarkets have focused on breeding varieties that are bigger and more resilient to aging but completely lack of taste.
> If it is a single-user, single-machine "app", you could use a plain UTF-8 text file which can be read and written to by any relevant text editor. No app is the best app in this case. This does depend in what kind of information you intend to CRUD.

I would similarly say a Rails app that uses a filesystem DB for records, sessions, logging, etc despite never having touched Ruby more than 3 times in the last 2 decades.

Many of your listed points are puzzling though.

> No single language can do all of that successfully, unless you ditch GUI and client-server models

There's nothing in the requirements about a GUI or client/server model. A CRUD app by API is pretty common.

> - Without external dependencies you will either be reinventing the wheel or adding lots of layers

No need for reinventing or using additional "layers" (whatever that's supposed to mean).

> - All software can be compromised or hacked, more layers equal more attack surface

"not easily" can be interpreted many ways, but assuring that nothing is 100% secure is irrelevant.

The question is quite sophisticated, within modern technology choices. However, the ease of CRUD app generation has been streamlined by Ruby to a ridiculous degree. Ruby has been great for this kind of thing for a long time, despite it's problems as a language for larger applications. People who are recommending Java, using Spring or not, are either ignorant or in denial. Java is a horrific choice for development speed and reliability for what amounts to requirements for a small application. Additionally, big/popular frameworks like Laravel/Django etc are also going to slower to develop and more problematic than a simple Rails app. This is primarily because of the ecosystems that shun the concept of a filesystem as a DB because it breaks their sensibilities about "the right way to do things".
You can see the prices on the website:

A quick search of 2-3 drugs shows it comparable to Goodrx. And with Goodrx I can go to my local pharmacy and get it today.
I reckon python bottle.py (or flask), psycopg2, with basic auth. And sqlite or postgres..

I tried django but spent more time trying to understand the magic. I like writing out my SQL in the endpoint function for readability.

Oh if you want GUI component as well. Jinja2 and Htmx.
My main point is the change from presumption of guilt to presumption of innocence. If they are effectively able to freeze it (but not transfer) before the court ruling, that main point still holds. Your claim was that crypto makes no difference, or worse.

I'm not saying technical solutions make the rule of law unnecessary. But they can defend against some violations of the rule of law, depending on the parts of the justice system that are still just.

People effectively defending themselves against a national disgrace help towards getting the disgrace fixed.
It's not just contracts that are the issue. You need to be an expert in cyber security just to not to get robbed.

The general recommendations I've heard go like this:

- Have a dedicated machine just for transferring money

- Only boot from a read only flash drive to interact with the network

- Store credentials in a separate place, maybe on paper in a very hidden spot

- Transfer a small amount of money before large transfers and wait 24 hours to make sure it works ok

- Spread your money between many accounts so it can't be stolen all at once

Does that not seem at least a little insane to anyone? No one is going to be able to practically use the network without some expert user as a proxy. And I don't see that changing any time soon with how terribly designed the protocol is at controlling these issues.
I worked for a PBM back in the 90s. The company, and the whole industry, was/is shady AF.

I remember once when I was volun-told to work for new program that handled "rebates". They needed a nerd to support the servers/databases. There was a presentation explaining the program and how it worked. At the conclusion, I asked, "So, this is a kick-back?", and the room went silent. "No, it's not a kick-back. It's a rebate." Hmmm. "Well, it sounds like a kick-back. What's the difference?" We went back-and-forth for a minute or two. Then, finally, some suit spoke up and said "Kick-backs are illegal. Rebates are not." And that was that.

So, I applaud Mark Cuban for his efforts here. I hope this succeeds.
Of course I am. Please don't be facetious.

But did you even read the comparison? The drug I showed (which was highlighted on Mark Cuban's pharmacy's home page) was still half as expensive by going to a local Walmart.

They're relying on a marketing campaign that "all other pharmacies are evil!" and they're hoping none of the media outlets bother to double-check their talking points. So far, it's working.
The point is that I have to drive to a local walmart and deal with insurance. That sounds harder.
The book in question was unusually well written. Read it cover to cover the first time I picked it up.

TLDR- The active ingredients for most of the US generic drug supply come from India and China. The labs and factories in those countries have an agreement where they are held to the same standards the FDA holds US companies to. The only difference is that know ahead of time when inspections happen and do things by the book while the FDA people are inspecting- the rest of the year is total chaos. As a result our generic drug supply has poor quality active ingredients, is not absorbed into the body in the same way and so much active ingredients for NAME BRAND medications come from these same shoddy factories that we can't even really trust a lot of the medications we are taking these days. Fun stuff.
> ... When an EU citizen requests a US internet resource, they provide a US server with their IP address; An IP address is PII; The CIA could record that; Therefore it is illegal to provide any internet resource to anyone in the EU

Forget that. An EU user visiting an EU site might have their packets routed through an entity outside the EU anyway, without their intent and certainly without their explicit consent.
But as to the OP’s point, Mark’s pharmacy is still more expensive for those drugs.
It was also a time when most people outside of USA didnt have credit cards.

They had debit cards and debit cards couldnt be used for online payments.

The real takeaway is that decentralized financial accounts are at extreme risk of deception with little reciprocity.
Has a piece of code ever changed the course of history?
That reminds me of the time somebody hacked (um... or watched my stupidly basic password over my shoulder... whatever) my imp account on a mud, and (not knowing what powers he actually wielded) used me to drag his account around power leveling and collecting loot. I caught him in the act, changed my password, killed him, grabbed his corpse, teleported to him, and ate his corpse so he knew what happened to the loot. Kept killing and eating him until he was level 1 again.

The real money is in SoCs or end user devices not processor IP. Thus that’s where the resources to build the best cores will tend to go.

If you had a second Arm selling licensed cores against Arm v1 would competition result in better cores? Maybe but it’s equally likely that it would make it harder for either company to compete for talent against Apple and Qualcomm.

There sure is.
Ask HN: Do I own the copyright on my logon/password
Since I created the actual name of a logon and the password to go with it do I own their copyright?
Do I own the copyright on my email address since I created (or selected) part of it?
If so can Google (for instance) use it to create a token or other identifying or anonymizing artifact for their own purposes without my permission?
Insurance is as simple as handing your insurance card to the pharmacy once. After that, it's in their system.

People generally go to the store to buy groceries anyway, so it's not a big deal to pick up a prescription while shopping.
> So they have clients? I thought they just send out claims and quietly collect the cheque...

Of course they have clients. Only the actual copyright holder can sue for copyright infringement.
Looks like a non-native version of TablePlus, with a strange pricing structure.
Nobody wants to see a Rust utopia. That sounds like a monoculture nightmare. Do you want a Java utopia? A C utopia? A C# utopia? A Haskell utopia? There is no utopia, just a bunch of different choices! It's fine for there to be different languages for different tasks, just like you're legally allowed to own more than one hammer. Please don't follow the hype that you should be using Rust when you clearly don't want to. Rust is just another tool, and only the best tool for a minority of jobs. There are plenty of other excellent choices.
Sure, but the example I highlighted didn't include insurance at all. Still half the price at Walmart.

Nobody seems to be even checking the basic facts on this story. Everyone is so eager to dismiss anything insurance-related that they'll take all of the talking points at face value.

Thanks for your contributions about wheels elsewhere in this thread (I've restricted my comments to the tooling). You demonstrate knowledge that is uncommon even among people paid to work on wheels.
Ok let me give a specific example.

The weth ("wrapped eth") contract accepts eth and returns a token. Lots of different people deposit eth in the weth contract. Later, they can call the withdraw function, and the weth contract will decrement their balance and send them some eth. This is a legitimate contract that exists so people can use eth in contracts that only support tokens. Lots of people use it for legitimate purposes. All the eth in the contract is held in a single bucket; when eth is deposited then the amount is just added to the contract's account balance.

A criminal deposits some eth and get some weth. You receive weth by some other means, and turn that in to get some eth. Did you get the criminal's eth? Or did you get the eth of one of the upstanding citizens using the contract?
If I got my grocery store and they say “buy 5 bottles of shampoo and mail your receipt for a $5 rebate” am I getting a “kick back”?

PBM rebates are not illegal. They aren’t transparent to patients (which is a problem) but they aren’t illegal.

> Except nobody should actually be paying $22.80 for generic Prozac. You can drive to any local Walmart and get it for $4 and they will bill your insurance, which will count toward your deductible.

Also there's a ton of stuff that I can buy for $5 at the store and get shipped to me for $10 (I don't own a car so am very aware of this sort of thing), so I'm not sure what the general complaint is here.
Laundering 3.6 billion worth of any currency is hard af.

Even if it’s an honest statement, what happens when Cuban dies or otherwise no longer controls the business? Inevitably someone will take control and raise prices to match the rest of the industry.

The root problem is having for profit companies involved in providing critical medical treatments. The solution is for people to band together and create an entity (the government) to provide these treatments at cost without the incredible inefficiency of for profit business.
I don't know about other insurance plans, but mine is virtually contact-free: my doctor prescribes me something, and I pick it up at a nearby pharmacy within an hour. The billing is taken care of for me, and I don't hear a peep from the insurance company other than a line item on their monthly letter.

OTOH, this seems like a blessing for the un[der]insured. But I took OP's comment to be one of critical optimism, not an attack on the company itself.
> The Gulag is brilliant, but its too long and depressing (Ive never made it past half way through the first book).

Well look at that, common ground! I've always been a compulsive reader -- up until I was about forty, forty-five, an obsessive-compulsive one: if I'd started a book, I'd finish it.

Except for a very few works. Weirdly, come to think of it, all three (that I can recall now) of them were recommendations from my best friend since lower-middle school, whose taste I still trust and whose recommendations I'd still follow -- but whose literary stamina I apparently lack.

We were assigned to read Denisovich in or just before our lower teens, and I found it quite good and interesting. After that, he read The Gulag Archipelago and said it was good, so I tried... That's the first book I can recall giving up on.

Sometime in our teens we read TLOTR, which he followed up with The Silmarillion. Strike two. Then, sometime in our twenties or thirties, he recommended Proust's In Search of Lost Time. Strike three (and you're out?).

I'm tempted by -- but dreading! -- Stephen King's The Dark Tower... OTOH, lots of other people also seem to be recommending that. And I've gotten past "my gotta finish it" fixation. So maybe, after all.

(Not his only work that had some influence on history: "The Nine Billion Names Of God" IIRC was one of the first times anyone suggested that computers might be able to process text as well as numbers. "Superiority" (how technical superiority need not win) was required reading in a certain MIT course for a while. And of course "2001 a space odyssey" will have influenced a lot of people in less-easy-to-define ways.)
Yup, Section 702 of the FISA act needs to be repealed in order for these judgements to not be relevant.

That's not to mention all of the other, non-legally justified analytics performed by the NSA/CIA etc.
I deplore the medication rebate racket as much as anyone, but it's not a kick-back.

A kick-back would go to the doctor or pharmacist for pushing the customer toward a medication. The problem in this scenario is the monetary incentive to mislead the customer.

With medication rebates, the customer is getting the drug one way or another. The rebate just discounts the effective price and sends the discount to the customer. The only party not aligned is the insurance companies (who, IMO, probably hate this system more than anyone)
> Compiling faster was just a side effect.

The location of an import has nothing to do with compilation speed. The only time it would ever make a thing compile faster is if 1) it is local inside a template function, 2) that template is never actually used, AND 3) the module is never imported anywhere else in the program.

That does happen - I use this pattern for optional dependencies which aren't even looked at if not actually used - but it isn't generally the case. You have to actively think about it to fulfill all three requirements.
But it'd appear that addressing the symptom by turning up the amount of incarceration, has not worked, since America has the most in the world.

God even their aspect ratio has to be pretentious.
A lot of that CP/M compatibility comes from the fact that the 8086 had a high degree of backwards compatibility with the 8080/8085 (and thus also the 8008). It wasn't actual binary compatibility, but the instruction set was either a strict superset or close enough (albeit with different encoding) that you could take an 8080 program written in assembly language and run it through an appropriate 8086 assembler to produce a valid 8086 binary. Since the processor made it possible to port software that seamlessly, it made sense for operating systems to also provide a compatible ABI.
