It's a fun concept, and maybe will be useful in some weird edge case of a lawsuit, but no. Most recent music infringement lawsuits seem to argue that some combination of the sound design, groove, rhythms, chord progressions, melody or reduced melody, structure, and lyrics wind up giving a song the same "feel" as a prior song, and that's the basis of the copyright infringement. Then pseudoscientific experts come in and pick and choose common musical elements that both the songs share to attempt to justify the claim, oftentimes wrongfully taking credit for inventing genre-wide defining musical elements. Adam Neely did a good job touching on this in his recent analysis of the Dua Lipa Levitating lawsuit [1].

An AI generated song machine would have to nail a lot more elements than just the melody notes to properly stop music copyright cases. In my view, a more interesting project that might be more effective in defusing lawsuits would be to try to catalog all of the musical tropes that define genres, then attempting to detect how common they are in that genre. In an ideal world, maybe this would be able to drive a metric of how similar specific two songs are vs. picking any two songs in that genre at random.

You want much of the conversation to happen here, not in email. The magic is in people replying who weren't you or the top-level commenter.

My two cents: Embedded systems don't usually get managed like computers, so their updates happen slower (or not at all). When a new exploit is announced, IT races to patch the computers, but often doesn't think of the embedded systems.

Worse, the embedded system manufacturer may be more likely to go out of business than the computer manufacturer, and almost certainly is more likely to go out of business than the OS vendor. Updates simply may not be coming for the embedded system, so it may remain vulnerable forever.
There was a package (that I won’t name) which completely removed their online documentation and replaced it with a BLM message for a period of time. I was floored at that unprofessional behavior. Now when I link to their docs, I always use archive.org to make sure other users don’t run into a similar issue in the future.
Financial profitability is not a requirement for infrastructure projects. If it is the best way to supply power in the most sustainable way, it should be subsidized by governments to make it happen. If you want to pretend it balances on paper add eco taxes elsewhere, but again thats not necessary.
Crime doesn’t pay. If you look up earnings of US mafia members you’ll find that your average organisation has few people on top making ton of money they are just sitting on because its dirty money they can’t easily launder or spend, with under-bosses making middle-class money and everybody else scrapping by, with their possesions being in illiquid assets that are hard to turn into cash in time of need like stolen goods (electronics, clothes, cars etc. ect,) or property shares.
Were you using self-hosted runners or the SaaS per-minute ones? My experience with Gitlab.com is probably irrelevant at this point, but years ago I didn't have any issues whatsoever with the combination of a Gitlab.com org with self-hosted runners... on AWS, I think?
Speaking of time-matching you should also avoid starting a publicly observable spike in Tor-related activity just before the date your new Darknet service goes online.
The simplest explanation is that US companies + media + government is the only group with enough clout to do this, and they will not sanction themselves.

It's not like there's a Netherlands invasion of Germany for us to all use as a neutral reference.
Aren't those the same people who would assume that of many technologies whether or not the word "infinite" was used?

I do agree there's a difference in context, but for me it goes the other way. I'd expect pretty much anybody in a technical audience to know technical basics. For me that's a big part of the fun in writing on HN, in that it's not obligatory to dumb my points down just to coddle the clueless.
Thanks for your work on beekeeper. I've been using it for about 12 months and in that time it's really improved.

Twin Anxieties of the Engineer/Manager Pendulum
I like TUI but used to find it a bit flaky and inconsistent. I understand it's had a fairly recent code-level revamp.

GDB has also added Python extension support for it:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/TUI-Window...

It will be interesting to see if things like GDB Dashboard benefit from being implemented in this way in future.
USB1 and 2 both had the same issues with devices dropping in and out. Try plugging in 20 USB HDDs and watch.

I remember when USB was first announced there were videos from trade shows of people plugging in 100 devices. But the reality was that the manufacturers of USB chipsets clearly took shortcuts here and there, rightly never expecting people to actually stack 17 USB hubs in some sort of tentacle nightmare of cabling, and so it never quite worked properly at the extremes.

I think that was the point OP was making, through a layer of thick sarcasm.
I think the point is that logs should have a well-defined structure that can be easily parsed and queried by other programs.
The author is qualified to write an opinion on this (Professor of public health) but it's a bit ironic that she's pushing a particular policy and viewpoint and acusing others of refusing to admit they were wrong (and apparently here opinion, even if learned, is the only truth).

Where do you all find therapists? I see that its super trendy to have one now and admit it but at the byproduct of them being pretty booked! what do?
It's not about not using SSH, it's about:

* having an easy way to connect to all machines in environments where not everything is built the same way and on the same cloud or whatever. A big company can have a ton of teams building stuff across a variety of clouds and DCs. Not to mention those machines could be dynamic, so you need to add discovery. Heck, there might be Windows boxes here and there.

* having audit logs of who run what command on which server when

* extra security features like team management, MFA, etc.

You can do all that (minus audit logging) with SSH, sure, but it takes time and effort by the people who care least ( practitioners) about those things ( security teams). Buying something like Teleport or Wallix or Boundary solves all those problems at once.
It's a question of the strength of the respective poles then. The Western pole of US / EU and its postwar institutions of the UN, IMF, NATO etc were pretty hegemonic I'd argue. Wasn't the war in Iraq and Afghanistan predicated on exporting our western liberal worldview as if it was inevitable that all countries would benefit from our system and actually want it. For all that Francis Fukayama's "End of History" was discredited, I think many in the west implicitly saw the world like that up until recently.
My meter was working perfectly until I read the parent comment, at which point it measured off the scale and promptly broke.

I didn't mean to offend you. Or misrepresent the culture with a memoji. Sorry. If you feel it's out of order, then I can change it too.
But what is more crucial for me is what Sangeeth said. And that is more important to me.

And yet, all of the developping world, China, and even Germany are building new coal power plants.

This happens because you're forgetting an important factor: coal is much more available in many regions than gas.
Luigi Russolo’s Cacophonous Futures
Depends on the use case:

Replacing USB-A? Definitely not. There are so many little devices like wireless adapters, hard drives, thumb drives, etc. There hasn't been much of an effort to convert these to USB-C, so they all need dongles.

Replacing micro-usb? Absolutely. It is so much easier to deal with since it's reversible. Especially in the iOS world since it's either lightning or usb-c for devices.

Docking stations? Yes but it's complicated. I connect one little micro-usb cable to connect 2 monitors, a mouse, and keyboard to my laptop. But it's tricky finding one that supports the right resolutions and refresh rates.

How to reduce template compile times in D
When I write code with whitespace enforced, I feel my brain slowly falling away from me. But with Python being so popular, I wonder if people look at me like I'm a freak on a leash.
>That's a valid feeling, but nobody else is obliged to give that to you. You find a company that works for you, or you adapt to the one that you want to work for you. You don't go to war with the culture of a company just because something you feel entitled to isn't yet there.

No, I am entitled to that. I am there to do a job, not put up with someone's ravings about politics or whatever. I am forced into a space with them 40+ hours a week, my choice to remove myself from their presence has been taken way from me.

It is the company's responsibility to not foster a hostile work environment or one where people are constantly uncomfortable. If I have a colleague constantly going off on political rants and/or interacting with me in a different (unprofessional) manner at work it is the company's problem as well.
There is a conspiracy theory named "dead-internet theory" that postulates that this has already happened.
And then all of the effort spent on "building the world they wished to see" gets used to also build a world that goes against everything they wished, against their ideology. Due to openness of their efforts they also don't have an option on influencing that, unlike commercial products who can simply stop doing business with precise companies/people/territories. What if the very idea of open source gets used against itself? What would you advise those people to do? Shut up about "the current thing"?
Well of course it’s the response. Surely no one thinks that the virus itself causes alcoholism?

I think “the pandemic” here means both the spread of the virus and society’s response to it.
I remember eating in the Google NYC cafeterias and seeing an older gentleman ALWAYS wearing a KORN t-shirt. Turns out it was...
My mistake, I thought you were the top-level commenter. I agree the tech platforms tend to buck the cultural expectation of free speech... in my opinion this is a big reason that "Big Tech" has a negative reputation. When entities go against cultural norms, there is backlash.
It could certainly have been done better: if it has instead ran a torrent client that downloaded actual video from Ukraine it might actually have done something.

I get the author, it is impossible to see what is actually going on and not want to eviscerate Russia but the way he did it was counter productive.
I caught the first show on this tour, in Springfield, MO.

It's honestly amazing how well Davis in particular has held up. I first saw them in concert in ~2003, and if anything I think their show's energy has increased.

It's weird being at a Korn concert in 2022 with my teen daughter. There is a lot of that these days; we were far from the only ones.
The variations in ability of a trained musician are imperceptible to an untrained listener.
Can't be git they're talking about, they mentioned speed and efficiency for very large projects.
You absolutely can copywrite works created via automation, you just still have to list a human as the author.

Which makes a lot of sense to me - Someone had to set up the automation with the intent to create a copy writable work, and copywrite often has built in expirations based on a window of time after the death of the author. Hard to make that sane if you're listing a computer program as the author - when does it die?
Oh I was writing with regard to orchestral performances AND music in general.

People who show up to listen to an orchestra—it doesn't matter on what level they're enjoying it, it serves to enrich lives regardless and on many planes.

I think your beef might not be with music appreciation, and the modern role of an orchestral performance and more with the commoditization of music. That's more of one of the cancers of marketing (hashtag notallmarketing). That kind of marketing only aims to make everything cheap to supply and as profitable as possible to the 'sticky' middlemen. I would agree with you there.
Yeah, same as the British monarchy after the murder of Charles 2. Or James 2. But they tracked down the killers all the way to America, or so they say. Same with Stalin getting Trotsky in Mexico.

But there's others who never were captured, Hannibal evaded Rome until they almost captured him, but he successfully killed himself so they never got him alive. There's many others on both sides.

The index is 5bn+ pages and entirely independent as opposed to the Bing/Google offshoots.

With Google's algo tending to favour "mobile optimised" sites, I suspect a lot of older sites get buried.
It is kind of crazy when one remembers all the human rights abuses that companies providing popular products and services tolerate and benefit from, and where the tax money goes. It is almost as if if the goal is to be consistent and avoid hypocrisy, the only two options are abandoning modern lifestyle... or not protesting at all.
Totally, I'm using Flutter for that reason. But I built a simplified SDK that can also be used from the back-end with any supported language. I'm planning on releasing an Open Source edition (which is the whole thing right now) soon: https://nexusdev.tools/

What makes everything political? Of course something I do or say can influence others, but it is still not political in the vast majority of instances. Not even non-significantly.

Political action is shaping my environment to my desire. Via compromise or war perhaps. What is your definition of it that it applies to everything?
When I was a young child wandering the streets of $EXOTIC_LOCATION, I came across a street stall full of $OBSOLETE_COMPUTER.

I've searched far and wide for a $TRIVIAL_ALGORITHM_IMPLEMENTATION that brings back the nostalgia of that day.

I defiantly agree with you. I've never heard mac people sit around and talk about which init system it's running it's a complete non issue. It just doesn't matter to self-hosters and end users in any way shape or form.
The changes they made (I guess a couple years now) to their pricing model really bit us in the ass. We had a 130 user licence on the old 5$ tier, and had to aggressively cut user counts to afford the new licence.

There really needs to be something like a "view only" or a role based cost per user. Most of our clients are just there for commenting, and only a handful of developers actually use the product to its full extent.

I know there was an issue open for discussion on their payment models, so I hope it is something they are continuing to look at. At 4x the cost of competitors that offer similar features, it is a very hard sell.
> I hate it because GitHub was one product I really loved, but since MS bought them it seems like they are doing all this random stuff to solve problems that aren’t even a problem. How about getting back to the basics, like reliable uptime, and less glitchy JS soup?

I'm not a fan of this recommendation engine either, but I also don't think that's a fair assessment of what has happened since MS bought them. I've seen a ton of valuable features added since they acquired GitHub, primarily things like GitHub Actions and GitHub Packages.

That said, I agree with your last sentence. Even before this week's nasty database issues that have caused outages every day, GitHub was struggling more and more with reliability.

I know in a large company that it doesn't work to just "throw more bodies" at reliability/quality issues, but GitHub must do some org retooling to get their reliability problems under control. Despite being a big fan of GitHub features, I can't have a critical service go down with the frequency that it does.

The Web has had buttons that are inconsistent with the native OS for ages, yet users never really complained.

E.g. visit https://twitter.com/ and select Sign-up. I don't know what OS you are on, but the sign-up box probably doesn't look native. Users accept this. So what is the problem, really?
You could look at a SaaS offering such as IRCCloud https://www.irccloud.com

I haven't done this but in theory you could use something like AWS Fargate or fly.io to launch a bouncer/irc client. Really anywhere that lets you run a free container should work, if you can secure access to it.

This could be a starting point https://github.com/taylorworthing/docker-irssi
Your desire to speak with a human is nothing that should be right. You should always be able to send certified mail for these conversations. If you’re not happy with the service you are getting you should be able to take your business elsewhere. You can and should be able to write this into a contract if they want agree to it take your business elsewhere.

It is immoral to suggest that the company is obligated to have a human on standby to talk to you whenever you define a desirable need.
I don't pitch as more complicated version of Airflow, rather, I think it's more simple than Airflow on the UX side: we use declarative flow with yaml and not python code that can be

I agree with you that Kafka & ElasticSearch can be a pain to scale if you need to have a horizontal and vertical scaling.

On other side, on single machine, it's really has easy to setup. With this, you will have the same scaling than Airflow for exemple since it depend on a non scalable database (mysql or postgres). But the chance you will have with Kestra is that you will be able to scale to multiple node for your backend (as well with kestra that allow scaling all services). When you hit the limit with standard database, you will be stuck.

And yes clearly infinite scale is not a literal statement terms, nothing can scale infinitely but since the architecture is really robust (and scalable), the issues will be on other aspects than Kestra (cloud limit, database overload, ...).

A final point and a more important one, the backend are all pluggagle in Kestra since Kestra is really think as module: Look at the directory here : https://github.com/kestra-io/kestra :

- runner-kafka & runner-memory are 2 implementation of Kestra, you can add a new one that will use Redis, Pulsar, ...

- repository-elasticsearch & repository-memory is the same, you can implement another one, I started one implementation for JDBC that I don't have the time to finish for now : https://github.com/kestra-io/kestra/pull/368

The good news, these people are easy to identify because their signalling is always in a very visible way. They want to be seen. And when you can identify them, you can avoid them.
There are layers of objective and subjective factors. "What is art" is its own beast. How a particular style of interpretation is chosen, is subjective. Once that style is chosen, the performance can be assessed against many objective standards, such as whether they followed their own stylistic choices correctly, etc.
I'm quite impressed with the M1 to the point that I'm considering my own MacBook, not to mention familiarity with it from work etc...

But the pricing is driving me crazy. Ok the MacBook Air base model can be had for a reasonable price, but quite modest upgrades to 16gb/512gb ram/SSD effectively increase the price by about £550 (from ~£850->£1400 for cheapest available comparable units from trustable retailers) or £400 on the Apple store. At which point it seems worth considering the £1800-900 14" pro model since basically everything is a lot better on it. But I guess that's the point.

I suppose one way of looking at it is that the base air is discounted because the market sees it as something with a short shelf life and the 16/512 model is paying the full Apple premium for something that is actually likely to still be useful for anything more than being a glorified Chromebook in 3 years. Assuming, you know, the screen doesn't crack, if that's a real problem.
I'm trying not to armchair quarterback so I'm asking, what would you have done differently? Aren't there obvious priorities here that need to be dealt with and a deep analysis about potential pandemic responses and their n-th order effects would have been even more detrimental?

A "smaller group" on github's scale is still large enough to take down an entire sub product like actions, hooks, codegroups, etc.
yes. flutter has a nice approach and feels like it has a viable future. javafx seemed to fill that spot - not sure what happened to it.
Anecdotally there is a website that tracks officer deaths for those killed in the line of duty. Right, wrong or indifferent they count COVID-19 deaths in their statistics and of the 84 deaths this year as of today, 50 are COVID! If you told someone the biggest danger of being law enforcement in 2022 is COVID I'm not sure people would believe you.
The tons and tons of concrete that shield the reactor core would, though. You would be better off slamming a plane into a dam - much easier to crack, much less chance of containing the disaster it if you do manage to crack it.
So introducing a catalyst to a stable reaction and then not attributing the increased reaction rates to the catalyst...
Was it really due to that lawsuit? IIRC the main issue with P2P was that you could discover anyone's IP address by knowing their Skype username. I recall that people used this to DoS people in multiplayer video games - they looked up accounts with roughly the same name as the in-game one and proceeded to drop their connection. It was especially common in League of Legends.
Respectfully, you’re begging the question that it would be frivolous. If the contract says they must have a human respond within so much time and the company fails to do that, the lawsuit would not be frivolous to a rational person.
