No, the fact that proprietary software gives developers unjust power over its users makes it immoral.

> Most of us are writing web apps

Indeed. I'm a Rust dev somewhere it actually matters (video dev - we have to process 60 frames a second, for hours/days on end, with completely predictable performance, without crashing once) and I'd never pick it if I just wanted to build a webapp where nothing really matters and if the whole thing falls over we can just put it in a retry loop.

There's plenty of code out there that /cannot/ be written in Ruby/Python/Go/C#. Rust solves some really hard problems for people working on that type of code. But it's not what most people on HN are working on.

I think the problem is that a lot of web developers do not really understand that this type of code exists, and that languages which do not target web development can be exciting.
Given a random selection of 12 people on the street, one might reasonably expect that their educational background may be... less than optimal. For Germany for example, a quarter of the population only has the utter basic level of education [1].

I think it is more that the public is becoming a third observer in military matters (as in all government and commercial matters).

The point is not that "omg the US Army knows our internal penetration specs (#)"
but more "omg the public knows." But this could be an advantage for militaries - leak enough of this, guide enough games designers in the right way and build a groundswell of support for ... well modelled, arms improvements and upgrades.

You should probably also model the value of having the parts of a weapon manufactured in 49 states in 49 factories rather than say one. And see how you can get public support to chnage that

in general I am saying that this game provides a well informed public. seems like a good thing. except if you like corruption

(#) The CIA already told them. right now there is probably a spy in washington trying to work out how to say "yes, we spent 15 million dollars obtaining the specs on the Chinese shell last month, but how were we supposed to know ..."
I'm sorry, "very paranoid" is just a colloquial way of saying "very security conscious".
This to me is actually a pro-union argument not an anti-union one.

That is exactly the kind of behaviour that any particular individual has no chance to stopping but the ability to negotiate collectively would make that a very unattractive option to a corporation.

Are you going to offshore the entire company as a way to try and get around it? I can’t think of any examples where that has ever happened.

But without that collective bargaining power you are always vulnerable to exactly this kind of thing happening.

Don’t let the ideas of morality, ethical norms or bad PR be your only defence against it happening. It’s sensible to have some other cards up your sleeve to protect your rights.

Aside: I’m not US based but if any of this sounds interesting here’s a group that was on my radar that is tech focused you may want to check out but I don’t know a lot about them in any real detail other than that they exist and are relevant https://techworkerscoalition.org/
You can fit a linear regression with just a few points, technically if you have one more data point than regressors, it works. Because you've assumed a linear relationship with normally distributed errors. And you can interpret the output, because the values of the regression coefficients tell you something. "having a high score on X doubles the odds of outcome Y", for example.

Also, because you've assumed a structure to the data, you can more easily test if the data has deviated from that structure. This can be data drift or single outliers-- for example, GARCH models (a type of regression) allow the normal distribution of the error to have a varying variance, so you can detect different variance regimes.

In short, they help a human understand and interpret data.

From what little I know, ML is not so good at that. But it has other advantages, and you don't always need or want the understanding. If your want to i.e. detect ground cover in satellite images, then all you care about is valid outputs, not necessarily the importance of near-infrared vs red band.

And ML (can) beat regression models by providing better interpolation, by better handling regions of the data space which violate the assumptions of the regression model, etc.

So it is a tradeoff. Both approaches are highly performant, just at different tasks.

In my opinion, YNAB allows me to plan for the money I have in my accounts.
As I have more plans than I have accounts, I find YNAB inherently useful.

It has changed my inner hesitation to deal with exact financial situation and where my money goes to
a good understanding on how much money I have planned for which purpose and priorize where my money goes (or shouldn't).

This gives me peace of mind. For this, I am willing to spend money. I think 15$/month is worth it. (Even without Bank-Syncing).

Of course I could achieve this by other (cheaper) means, but then again I like how frictionless it makes managing my situation. And economically the return of invest in my first year of using YNAB payed for it for quite some years ;)

As someone dealing with two currencies, I can recommend RMillan's Plugins for YNAB [0].

The classes do serve a purpose. Many of these ebikes are essentially electric motorcycles that belong on the road and not on dedicated bicycle infrastructure.
Well the hiring process still seems rather insane; there are tons of companies who might pay a little less or the same that have a more sane process. There is no shortage; the hiring process is broken.
I've been something like this with Pixaki on the iPad - that allows for a reference layer which means you don't need to downsample, just fit the pixels where you want them to be accordingly. Helps in the learning of "how would this translate to pixels?" too.
That's weird, because 69% of republicans said they believe more needs to be done to ensure equal rights regardless of ethnic background in the same poll.

Pew was being disingenuous, that's why. From their own data, it's actually 45% that now saw White people benefit from advantages that Black people do not have. Only 34% of republicans don't think white people benefit from advantages Black people do not have at all. (That's still a ridiculous number to me, by the way)

6% say "White people benefit a great deal from advantages Black people lack"
If this is legit it would be one of the most impressive things I've seen in many years.

I think the logic here is that you don’t want to rob your future self to cover your current self’s emergency. Imagine a prolonged expensive period (car breaks, then you get sick, then you need funds to help a desperate relative, etc.) - you need extra money over a period of months but you don’t have it coming in current cash flows. When you borrow from the 401k you have to pay it back, which you won’t be able to do right away, and once you can, your disposable income goes down (because you’ve got to make those payback payments now). While you are paying back you are missing investment growth. I think of liquid emergency funds (in both personal, and business contexts) as insurance - how much you need is defined by your risk tolerance, asset mix, and long term goals, but the answer almost never “none”.

Another thing to think about is increasing monthly disposable income with emergency deferment of payments - in this context stopping 401k contributions while you deal with an emergency. Depending on your debt type, debt load, and credit history you can often negotiate deferment on many monthly payments for months at a time (e.g. mortgage, student loans, some car payments, utility bills, etc.).

I see a distinct lack of "Kermit The Frog in Dragon Ball Z".
Cool. I’ll apply.
To an extent. But weapon specifications often have pretty gigantic error bars on them.

After all, the range of a tank gun isn't just a question of how far it can send a shell - it's also a question of how well the gun can be aimed, how hard the shells have to hit when they arrive, and whether the 'effective' in 'effective range' means a 20% chance of a kill or a 90% chance.

By messing around with those definitions, the M1 Abrams tank has a range of anything from 2,500m to 4000m to 8000m. Pretty hard to sanity-check such a wide range of figures.
Kermit in Eraserhead is everything I expected it to be.
Agreed - and after quantization nothing reproduces the signal before quantization. So claiming Nyquist-Shannon proves the OP wrong is incorrect.

>It's then passed through an ADC and stored as a sine wave.

After an ADC it is not stored as a sine wave. It's stored as quantized values, thus the 'D' in Analog-to-Digital-Converter.

>cause no one is mastering inaudible square waves on a reel for kitsch value

Pretty much all audio processing is now done digitally, which is the same as square waves - each jump in discrete digital value is a step function. When you push it through properly engineered output devices the squareness is smoothed somewhat, but still has frequency ringing because it is square edged.

Take a good speaker, take something that can grab audio spectrum far beyond audible, and look at the output. There is stuff far outside human hearing coming from the speaker because of these square waves. Naively, this is because the Fourier transform of the square waves have high frequency ringing, and this is because the playback has sharp edges. (See this [1] for some related info for example).

Also Nyquist-Shannon is about frequencies, not about amplitudes, which are also quantized. Physical devices making sound have a (up to quantum level) continuum of possible amplitudes. Quantization necessarily loses this forever. For example, take A0, the lowest standard piano note, freq ~27.5. Sample a pure sine wave at
60 hz, in 8 bit audio. Now record this tone going from no sound up to very loud, very smoothly, over some time. The 8-bit audio will necessarily have less smoothness to it, since it is 8 bit audio. It perfectly matched your Nyquist-Shannon claim, yet it fails to reproduce what you hear. Take 16 bit audio - better. Take 32-bit or floating point audio, better again. And so on.

I agree that really well engineered systems can push the errors outside human hearing, but to claim they reproduce the same signals is incorrect.

The gist of this is: to get the most accurate reproduction of the original, merely sampling at 2x the top human freq is no where near state of the art.

An counter-intuitive example: to get the best quality and most accurate output, one needs to add noise to the input. The reason is that due to quantization, if some input signal is between possible quantized output values, adding noise (usually Gaussian, of std dev ~sqrt(step size)) makes that signal trigger both high and low quantized values in proportion to the intermediate value, making the output playback the step square waves as close to approximating the original as possible. The entire field is full of stuff like this.

For reference, I've worked on stuff like this on and off for decades, having written libraries used by others, designed high end audio simulation software (think raytracer for audio in physical settings to help design stadiums), written articles, and produced hardware in a company I own. I am quite familiar with all sorts of audio processing.

As far as I know, the actual trained system is proprietary, and you can only use it by requesting access to their online system for generating imagery: https://openai.com/dall-e-2/

There are open-source efforts to implement it and make trained models available, but I don't imagine they are yet at the same scale of ingested data / model size as OpenAI's system: https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch
But what about your own ears?

To hand me this secondhand abstraction contrived by this guy I never met. It's a bit crazy.
I think cryptos niche is small to medium size trading networks that could be mostly services, digital items.

Since they don't scale well and transaction fees are small on smallish networks it seems like a good environment for niche types of marketplaces.

if networks can figure out how to minimize the scammy features. kind of hard to grow big and push your weight around like most network players if it's hard to scale.

I don't think web3 is the answer it's too centralized at the interface.

maybe web4 lol...
When will they get back to me with my Dalle2 access! I need to make a ton of kermit images.
Many is an overstatement. You only really have SRAM and Campagnolo that are making decent groupsets and of the two, SRAM is the only one that makes MTB groupsets. MicroShift is there at the lower end and is probably best avoided unless it solves a specific problem you have. SunTour isn't doing groupsets anymore. You don't want to bother with the Chinese knockoffs of Shimano.
In adding this feature, were YouTube directly inspired by Pornhub?

What he said in the interview was that back in the day the criminals that ran the industry actually liked music.

This feels a bit like complaining that a tank is badly designed because nobody drives them on the highway...

My understanding is that Rust was designed to be a safe(er) language to write low-level system code than C/C++, not to compete with Python/Ruby/Java for web development applications.
You should try timing it sometime. It usually takes me about 2-3 minutes to pump the almost 18 gallons of capacity into my fuel tank. Pumps in the US aren't allowed to go faster than 10gal/minute, lots around me seem to go much slower than that max speed.

If your project does not rely on on specific C++ libraries, I would recommend going with Rust.

If you have a whole-home furnace you can often make it run the fan even if cool/heat is off - and install a high power filter and change it regularly and it’ll filter the air reasonably well.

The ecobee has a “minimum fan time per hour” setting - it can also help to balance the air temperature.
Great idea. What's worked for me is simply taking a 20"x20"x1" filter and sliding it into the back cover of a standard $25 Lasko box fan. Cheap, easy option for air filtration in the home.

And i think you are being unfair conflating the current energy shortage with a hard limit that the human race may never reach. The current energy shortage might have been averted if the investment from industries like crypto, was invested in renewables..
Is it? I think so.

YNAB has taught me one thing (they had a whole philosophy of budgeting section when I started using it): budget for your expenses ahead of time. I pay yearly, I've been setting aside its monthly price along with my utilities for years. Another point of their philosophy which I agree with is a budgeting tool saves you money in the long run. I'm pretty sure it saves me more than $15 a month — with good budgeting practice, you can choose yearly billing on many services instead of monthly, which often is cheaper.

I've used this one for so long I really am not interested in learning something else, and in the grand scheme of things, I've spent almost twice that for a takeaway dinner yesterday. YNAB is as expensive as a pizza in London.

Lastly, I don't have big uses myself, but money tends to get complicated with time. I have a current account, a savings accounts, a business account, some crypto I bought years ago, a disposable credit card for travelling, my Vanguard investments. It's good to have them all together in one place. It's good to have a nice chart showing me my net worth change over a decade.

Very cool, if I was going to build something like this de novo I would start with a squirrel cage fan. When you oversize them and run them at low RPM they can produce a startling amount of airflow with virtually no sound at all. You could also bump it up to a MERV 16 with enough intake filter area.
