LA is surprisingly progressive; it's (still, I believe) the only city in the US to outlaw harassment of a cyclist, though as always, good luck getting the police to do anything for you if you're on a bike.

LA has a lot going for it in terms of biking for transport. Easy to navigate road system, the sprawl means bikes are an attractive alternative to walking, ditto for having pretty flat terrain.
I suspect the "appealing" melodies amongst this are likely a small subset of the the total set.

The whole story reminded me of this axis of awesome (OZ comedy group) song (well worth watching):

If it was you that purchased the 3 then thank you so much! I should be able to get those and the others I had arrive in the last week added over the weekend. I'll post an update here (if I don't get banned for it? :D) as this will be another 500+ benchmark runs over another 10 cards.

I'll call it a day on performance testing at that point and put a group of them to the test endurance wise then!
Who has access to those bloggers and social media personalities? Labels. Otherwise you're just sending your demo to a blog and hoping it might get listened to in the same way you would have sent it to a college radio staton 30 years ago.
I think that while it's been "technically" possible to have an audience without labels for at least a decade, it's been incredibly difficult because of all the barriers to entry that labels have put on the industry. YouTube has Vevo. Labels have deals with companies like Spotify and Apple that indie artists can't make.

Your options have either been to fight and more than likely fail (or succeed with one viral song and then fail) or give in a join them. However recently, the tide has been turning because labels haven't figured out how to gatekeep things like TikTok (yet).
In 2010 it was a tenth of a billion dollars. If any public company went from revenues of $120 million to $560 million executives would unquestionably get a raise.

And then when the revenue goes down to something like $400 million, you'd expect something like the CEO stepping down and the number of executives getting cut. Like what happened with Mozilla.

Any CCD based camera will certainly heat up a lot, and cmos as well to a lesser degree without good/active cooling.

Why do you think .NET's NuGet is immune?

> I guess I feel that improving our world, ending war, making our society more just and fair, these are meaningful, useful, and beautiful things to do. They might be some of the most meaningful things actually.

I feel that way too. I want all those things. Adding “FreeUkraine” or “BLM” doesn’t do that. I don’t think virtue signaling is that big of a problem, but adding these phrases does nothing more than signal.

I don’t think it’s productive to call out virtual signaling in that I would never submit a PR to complain or remove. But I definitely notice it and it seems stupid. I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it but a second or two while reading docs doesn’t make me think more highly of someone.

I think cynically it just seems like people say this instead of doing meaningful things.
That’s basically correct. The first time I gave a talk on the subject, I was asked what the acronym stood for. I had to come up with an explanation on the spot and casually said “Oh, it’s Binary File Descriptors” as if that had always been the name. And that’s how it got an official name.
Random question, were physical radio buttons ever circular, or are they circular on computers only to differentiate from a check box? I've only ever seen rectangular radio buttons IRL, and a quick image search seems to agree.

Dyalog APL lets you call to the .Net Framework almost directly, e.g.

⎕using←'System.Diagnostics,System.dll'
st←⎕new Stopwatch
st.Start
<pause>
st.Stop
st.Elapsed
00:00:03.5493601

That gives you access to most things C# can access, presumably System.Data.DataTable and database access, or P/Invoke to C libraries? It also supports the other way around, writing :Class-es and using File -> Export to make .Net DLLs for other .Net languages to import and use (with Dyalog APL installed and licensed to run the code inside, mind you).

e.g. text encoding:

⎕using,←⊂'System.Text'
Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes (⊂'hello')
104 0 101 0 108 0 108 0 111 0

(.Net calls UTF-16 "Unicode").

Web services: From https://www.dyalog.com/tools/web-applications.htm it can be an ASP.Net language, or with "MiServer, A development platform for web applications written in APL" or several others.

There's the classic ⎕CMD and ⎕SH which run a string in the Windows command interpreter, or Linux shell, and get the text result:

⎕cmd 'echo hello'
hello

Seems to have various support for ActiveX and COM integration, too. I've never used any of this in anger or in production, but it surprised me how much integration it has.

> "Given this release of APL introduces support for shebang scripts I'm thinking the ecosystem of integration isn't great but I'm happy to be wrong."

This, specifically writing like a Python script, has been a sticking point for Dyalog APL for a while, I understand. APL the language and way of using it predates filesystems and was traditionally more like a self-enclosed virtual machine; you power it up, run your code inside it, and then save its running state to disk in a proprietary binary workspace blob that only it can read back again. And when filesystems came along, ⍴↑⍨⍥⊤⍎ weren't very convenient to write and save in scripts for a long time either.
Unity games? No, not to my knowledge. But the industry has certainly gotten extremely close to realizing the tech being leveraged in Adam. Some may even argue that some UE5 showcases with real samples have succeeded it, despite this being a non-real time showcase.

I don't think this is because you can't just copy-paste an Adam asset into the Unity engine, however. AAA devs are going to leverage their own assets regardless.

I think that's more of an image problem than a "technologically possible" problem, however. Many of Unity's huge successes come from the indie side, the Ori's, the Hollow Knights, the Cupheads. And it has a very big grasp on the mobile market. Even Pokemon Go decided to use Unity despite the IP being backed by a publisher known for their in-house engines. so a AAA studio isn't thinking of Unity for their next Call of Duty, but maybe for their Call of Duty mobile title.

They seem to be trying to combat that sentiment with the likes of DOTS,HDRP, and whatever Ziva is trying to do, but those are still TBD.
Just turning 30 but I'd have to add: International travel. Covid pretty much made that not possible for the first 18 months and very difficult for the next 18 months. It was looking like things were improving for travel but then the Russian invasion happened. Travel somewhere rare and weird before it gets too late - and there are places now that aren't possible to visit anymore that were just 6 months ago. Knowing how the majority world lives has given me a much more humble worldview and appreciation for where I am. And a good laugh everytime some new startup claims to "change the world" or whatever.

Second thing! Make sure to long-term archive your memories - whatever's on your phone, old tapes, old prints, etc. Get them scanned, uploaded, and backed up to 3 distinct locations. 30 years from now, you're gonna be so happy you did. My parents kept and recently mailed me a box of tape cassettes from when I was a baby 30 years back - very enjoyable watching those with my wife, has made my parents happy to watch, and will be fun to show those to my future children.

So stupid, this is some of the best information in the world and should be shared as widely as possible. An institution of higher learning shouldn't be concerned with tightly controlling how knowledge is disseminated outside of the institution. Especially old things from the 60's like this.

There's great labels still, like Sargent House.

Social platforms and digitalization can helped being truly independent but there's still non-music work that a label would do for you that you now have to manage.

And even if the stories about the struggling musicians becoming rock stars has always been embellished, it seems nowadays most of the current ones had financial security before pursuing their music career because of the low budgets available to develop new artists.
That's an argument which could be made for any market or industry. There are obviously a finite amount of people in the world, and those people have a finite amount of time to find and listen to music, so there is always competition and certain artists are going to stand out among others -- that's the nature of human preference. But that doesn't automatically mean a few are successful and everyone else fails. It's a spectrum of success which, as it turns out, is directly proportional to the effort invested toward getting better and producing more attractive content.
Follow-up - I switched and it was a good decision.
Is there a description anywhere of what's covered in each lecture?
> Though a writeup would be nice instead of a 50 minute video.

It looks like it is a recording of something that was intended as a live seminar¹ so a conscious decision was made to make and present it this way. Though transcript would be useful, that could take time to produce². If you have an abundance of time, perhaps you could volunteer?

[1] one that might have been in a hall somewhere but was pushed into homes by C19 restrictions, going by the backgrounds

[2] the speakers may not have had full scripts, just crib notes, meaning a transcript would be more work than simply collecting their notes together, and I've not seen great results from automatic transcription except when the speaker has a very clear “standard” accent and the sound quality is high.
Ukrainian official says facial recognition being used to ID dead Russians
From a European perspective: clearly, the US has a polarization problem. It has always had it due to the two party system but it's been getting exponentially worse. Or, alternatively, maybe the silent majority isn't necessarily more divided, instead the extreme ends are disproportionately promoted in media and social media, since outrage sells and reasonable people are boring. Reasonable people have nowhere to go, they have to pick one of the two types of crazy.

It's a terrible thing to watch as both people and issues are reduced down to binary options.

For example, I'd argue that the "Trumpist" white working class person in the Midwest has a lot in common with the black suburban working class person. These are now worlds apart, at times enemies even, but they share a lot of issues. Both groups, which I argue to be a single group, struggle to get a livable wage, access to education and healthcare, and so on. Somehow, society has sorted these groups into good and bad people, where good and bad change based on perspective.

Same for complicated divisive issues. Most people, yes even conservatives, would agree that racism is bad. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they support every method to combat it, like "defund the police", reparations, equity policy, and many other policies not at all related to the original problem. But you can't discuss any of the points or plans intelligently. You're all-in with every idea, including bad ones, or you're out, and thus a racist.

A system like this leaves only one option: silence.

In contrast, the political system in my country, the Netherlands. It's a coalition country where the ruling government consists of 3-4 parties to form a majority. So that means that the norm is that everything is multi-partisan. You are forced to work together or you will not rule. Likewise, you can't destroy or smear the other in a campaign because you'll meet them again at the formation table.

In a system like this, consensus is the norm, and extremism has no chance, they will never rule. This has its effect on people, as most people are centrists with a notch to the left or right.

My group of friends is politically all over the map. Nobody takes issue with deviations in opinions, there's no hard or clear line to sort people into. There's also no left-right consistency. I know progressive people that are conservative regarding immigration and I know conservative people that are progressive environmentalists.

Sorting people into left-right, good-bad, conservative-democrat is a crime. An insult to humanity. Because the really sad thing is most political needs are universal. The split is entirely artificial.
It's amazing indeed. Octopus is ~600M years away, same story and even more different biology.
i think most folks allow auto-updates because we want new features and security fixes. So, while you're technically correct i think the practical result is that it's no different on this axis than a webapp.
You don't need a Thunderbolt 4 cable for a phone. That's a cable for connecting your laptop to your monitor. By contrast, HDMI cables have gotten so crappy nowadays that I have to pay about half of that to know that I'm not going to have a problem.

However, I don't skimp on USB-C stuff anymore. I buy the nice expensive GaN chargers, and I buy nice cables. And I don't have problems.

> I don't believe you are discussing in good faith, goodbye

Are you capable of discerning between bad faith and disagreement?

I actually believe what I am arguing: that cancel culture in the present moment is dominated by the Left.

Do Republicans and people on the right do bad stuff? Absolutely (even if i disagree about many of the particulars). But cancel culture is far from the only critique I have of the Left.

This is not about "which side is worse" in the broader picture. I'm trying not to simply turn this into a political mud-slinging contest. I'm trying to get at what cancel culture actually is (you know, the topic of this thread).

In response, you made a claim that certain things were examples of "cancel culture" coming from the right. A claim you have thus far still utterly failed to defend.

If all you want to do is complain about every bad thing a Republican ever did, then I agree this discussion should end.
The idea that we should classify food by shape is clearly erroneous. Our food classifications should be based on method of eating, not by shape! A sandwich is any food that uses a carbohydrate to protect your hands from a messier food, so that you can eat it at a card table without getting your hands dirty (a la the origin myth). Let's go through the things here:

Pizza: Yes

Sushi: Mostly no (the carbs don't protect you from the insides, the seaweed does)

Pumpkin pie: No (unless eaten with hands, without falling apart)

Quesadilla: Yes

Toast sandwich: No (inside is not messier)

Victoria sponge: No (eaten with fork)

Hot dog: Yes

Sub sandwich: Yes

Slice of pie: No (unless eaten with hands)

Falafel wrap: Yes

Pigs in a blanket: Yes

Enchilada: No (the one pictured has cheese and sauce on the outside)

Quiche: No (unless eaten with hands)

Cheesecake: No (unless eaten with hands)

Soup bowl: No (I'd love to see you try)

Falafel pita: Yes

Deep dish pizza: If eaten with hands

Salad in a bread bowl: No

Key lime pie: No (unless eaten with hands)

Calzone: Yes

Corn dog: No (if held with stick)

Pie (whole): No (good luck)

Dumplings: Yes (unless they have sauce on them)

Pop tarts: Yes

Uncrustables: Yes

This is the best and most accurate method that actually provides a strict definition that lines up with my intuitions—the cube rule is fun, but you're really gonna claim that a subway sandwich isn't a sandwich?
The worst I can thing of is extra noise from the heat build up from the sensor being energized for extended period. This is one of the many reasons that image stacking is so advantageous. Cold winter nights imaging Orion is probably not going to notice it nearly as much as those hot summer nights trying to image Milky Way. (I'm hoping to take my camera cooler out for a spin this summer. Just a modified pelican case with insulation and ice chest freezer packs. lo-tech)
The issue isn’t simply having a kid. A sustainable replacement rate means ~20+% of people need to have 3 kids which is far more difficult. That’s not such an issue right now, but with most developed countries having negative replacement rates it’s likely to become one.
> Social platforms and digitalization can helped being truly independent but there's still non-music work that a label would do for you that you now have to manage.

Except that is rapidly becoming untrue, which is the entire point. Self-management in the music industry is actually quite simple if you have the tools and knowledge, and both of those are now widely available to everyone.

Generally if you're making money off of me or if I'm giving money in exchange for services - customer.

Here are some real world examples that would hold up pre-current state:
Club: even if I dont pay for a beverage or cover, I am in fact a customer. Shown by the fact that if I get injured at said club, or other events occur the responsible parties are managing/own the club.

Print shop: Go into a shop, pay for a thing or service, are a customer.

There was a time, that many of us can remember, where automated phone services were nascent, there was no IVR and there was definitely no complex intent recognition paired with sentiment analysis.

The smallest little business needed a phone. When it rang, they answered it. Those businesses afforded it and frankly the min. wage has barely gone up since then so a business, one that exchanges a service/place/goods/my information for money, can afford to do it.

I am in full agreement with my perception of OP's comment.

Ask HN: Selling hardware company assets/IP
I need some advice HN. I've been working on my hardware company for about 7 years (https://geminicomplex.com). I developed a benchtop tester that can do functional verification of chips/electronics. I designed all the hardware (main board, test board) and software (lib, driver, compiler, RTL cores, on-board website, simulation) myself, most of which I have recently open-sourced (https://github.com/geminicomplex). I've had a few potential deals fall through and now I'm thinking real hard what to do next.

I've tried to raise money from YC (interviewed twice). I didn't get in because I didn't have a cofounder and they wanted me to talk to potential customers, which I've now done. I know that what I need to do is raise like $10m and hire people that can do sales, part procurement, manufacturing and more. I'm just finding it difficult to get myself to do that. I also have a hunch that most angels/VCs wouldn't invest in something like this because it doesn't have the potential for quickly becoming a unicorn. I am understandably burned out. So I'm wondering what my options are in regards to selling/liquidating the company including all its valuable IP and assets?

P.S. this board is way more than just a tester. You can write vector programs that execute with perfect cycle accuracy and nanosecond latency. You can also write test programs using the power of Lisp to coordinate the running of vector programs. Both of these things would work quite well for robotics if some parallelism and IPC was introduced at the hardware level.
If you imagine DOM elements as each having a separate FSM and if you consider the possibility of entry/exit actions on each state, "idle, down" in the bottom left could have an entry action that primes the system for drag & drop. Click down outside, release inside is exactly what D&D would have.
We work in a field where there is hostility to Web-hosted databases. We developed an on-line version of our app, but sales were dismal.

Plus, our app needs to access databases on the user's local disc drive, which (as far as I understand) is hard with Web-based apps?
I strongly suspect it's just easier from a customer support point of view, if you develop an application that causes the camera to overheat and fail.

They really don't want to send you a new camera. The dangerous thing with code controlling hardware directly, is absent safe guards you can easily exceed the mechanical limits of the device.

This is why seriously overclocking a CPU will definitely void the warranty, but at the same time CPUs are often marketed based on how well they handle overclocking.
