Hello Nickolay :)

Diarization has always been the hard part for me, especially since it is very difficult to do comparisons within your domain. The evaluation metrics are not descriptive enough imo.

Would you say Titanet or EcapaTDNN are decent for use in production alongside, say, Whisper, or any other ASR output, if given the timestamps, so as to bypass running VAD? I'm just about to run experiments to try pyannote's diarization model and google's uis-rnn to test out how well they work, but it's a tad beyond my ability to evaluate.

I also wonder if Whisper architecture would be good for generating embeddings, but I feel it's focused so much on what is said rather than how it's said that it might not transfer over well to speaker tasks.

Time for YT to up their caption game.
1000mg/day is 40% more than the NHS say [0]. (If there's multiple sources then I guess that's a great example of this article! ) The rest of your post is a little ridiculous too - instead of painting the ridiculous quantities why not talk about what a balanced intake might look like? 1 serving of regular yoghurt, a glass of a fortified juice, a leafy green with lunch and a legume with your main meal is more than even the 1000 number.

> it's genuinely very hard to eat enough calcium, and that's only one of the nutrients that need to be juggled.

Ive found that eating a variety of food stuff, and not hyper optimising for one nutrient goes an awfully long way towards hitting all of those goals. If you followed my suggestion above, you've likely hit your calcium, iron, vitamin A and C nutrients for the day out of ~700 calories leaving an average person 800-1200 calories leftover to burn on whatever they want to!

Unfortunately, without censorship, the spammers take over. Maybe this is what will finally kill Facebook and Twitter.
They quote him as not wanting to speak on it not only once, but twice, yet they still give the article this title. Genuinely farcical journalism.
Some of the indirectness is likely because of how recent it is - as a player you don't want to speak about something that is being currently investigated. I think people who expect Magnus to just explain everything asap are being a bit too harsh.
This all depends on the system used to watch the content. From setting used on tv and avr and player, to the actual hardware.

When i watch See and compare the DV version vs plain HDR version on my LG C1 the difference is big
"Adobe XD supports multi-player mode for three years now" – this is maybe true for some small batch of alpha version users. The designer at my last startup insisted on using XD and it was a huge pain because you couldn't work in parallel – the first person opening a file was locking it down for others to change.
>>there aren't many good non-milk non-fish sources of calcium,

>yet Asian women have no problems with "low calcium" diets (low dairy/meat).

Asian diets (particularly in Japan) are very fish-heavy.
I think the interesting angle here is not whether or not remote working is more productive (which has been done to death) but the complete disconnect between worker and manager perceptions.
Which books are banned under state law?
We have lost the count of the amount of people that have risk their lives trying to cheat in sports (e.g. the Olympics), I actually find it a bit surprising that it took this long to ocurre in Chess world, specially given how long small wireless devices have been available.
Even "normal" cars tend to come with a lot more hp than most people need most of the time (unless they live in Germany or somewhere else where you can actually go really fast if you want to). Cars with a 100-200hp engine would probably be almost as usable with half the power.
At this point I think following a Medieval diet based on the 4 bodily humors[1] would be just as healthy if not healthier than whatever is in these days.

I also believe it is a trend not to go over the head of consumers. Can be seen in older documentaries and political discussion. Perhaps this is just a result of everyone already feeling like a expert and should not be insulted by complex language etc.

article from 2004. Title update?
Can someone help me come up with anti-cheat chess AI?
So the idea is fairly simple. Feed an AI millions of bot games and millions of human games, in order for the AI to assign a “human-ness” probability to a given chess move. This is based on the idea that only one or two bot moves would be enough to affect the outcome of a top-level chess match. I assume this would be fairly achievable for someone with a basic idea of how to implement an ML algorithm. Any takers?
If people in Iran could find themselves in trouble for using Signal I'd strongly advise they avoid it and look for some other solution.

Ever since Signal started collecting and permanently storing sensitive user data in the cloud (your name, photo, number, a list of everyone you contact using Signal) it's become much more dangerous for people who want to protect themselves and the people they are in contact with. Because Signal insists on keeping your contacts in the cloud it's possible in some cases for someone to collect a list of your contacts simply by brute forcing a 4 digit pin.

It would be horrible to end up in trouble or see your friends and family hurt because Signal wasn't forthcoming about the fact that they were collecting your info and keeping it on their servers.
Indeed interesting.

maybe not necessarily, but anything else is probably not very likely
That we restrict who can properly decode data is even more absurd than other software patents.
The thesis that you have to understand a topic well to make a really good meme about it is true IMO; I've seen memes from niche topics that were truly illuminating. But honestly that's equally true of a haiku or something similar. It's art. The level of quality that can be judged and graded at scale is too low to measure the kind of deep understanding that produces a really choice meme. If you try to make students make memes to show their understanding, the result will be >99% trash that technically expresses whatever is meant to be taught but has none of the power you hoped for when you pitched your investors and teachers. In short, as another commenter put it, "cringe af".

And it's not like you need to pay anyone to include memes in your course. What makes memes so ubiquitous is that they're stupid easy to make and consume.

But fair enough - I couldn't remember my source, maybe I'll dig up the article I was referencing, it might very well be faulty.
What even is the definition of 'adventure game' used here? Dozens of adventure games were released in the 10 years prior to 2004. One of the most wellknown series, Legend of Zelda, never stopped producing. Is LoZ not considered an adventure series by these critics?
Extending org-mode to handle YouTube links
This seems strange - they are very strongly featuring "live co-editing" as the supported feature set: https://www.adobe.com/products/xd/features/coediting.html

If they didn't have support for that this would be a pretty egregious lie in the "here's our list of supported features" pitch to buyers?
Good point - Terrorists are politicians too who believe they have the right to achieve their political goals using violence and anarchy. But most countries already have anti-terrorism and hate speech laws to deal with such kind of politicians who espouse a violent political ideology. As awareness has grown on how hate speech and violence is spreading through the use of internet, law makers are already debating and considering new laws to deal with this menace and trying to find the right balance between restricting such ideas vs balancing your right to express yourself.
openwebsearch without open code and open issues, really?

it’s such an overpowering misunderstanding, combined with a topic that people have very little objectivity over that it is not actually believable.

do you also think you’re not allowed to remember people’s names without permission because of GDPR?
They've had years to get rid of of needing a phone number and they've talked about it for years. It's arguably a bigger issue for many that internet blocking, as that can be trivially worked around with a VPN or proxy.

this is variation of 'don't write obvious comments to your code'. Useful comments can include the 'whys', links to design docs/decisions, references to other part of source code. Here we see the case of commenting everything for the sake of commenting. Without adding any additional knowledge/insights.
Except chubby vs fit is the result of many factors only one of which is "has a set of beliefs about nutrition that are consistent with reality".
Its not clear what you intend us to conclude from that data.

I'd conclude that until solar has excesses on the peak demand days that it probably makes financial sense to keep rolling out more solar.

And that increase in excess on non-peak days then makes rolling out batteries make financial sense.

And then the presence of those batteries makes rolling out even more solar make sense.

And indeed that is what is happening.
Back in 2014 when this was first published I found it really inspiring and incorporated many of the techniques it describes into my daily workflow. It's been a while, so I wonder what he's doing now.
I'm also confused about the Docker hate here. The daemon itself is lightweight and the Docker-ized process(es), once running, have negligible overhead compared to running them natively.

I didn't look at the image size but you might be paying a ~100 MB storage penalty to bundle dependencies.
If the shark has been jumped, it’s here:

What if we have innate cravings for ALL of the essential nutrients, and what if we keep eating until we get enough of them?

Hence, rather than avoiding bad things in food, the ultimate quest in the nutrition space should be to understand what foods we need to prioritise to get the nutrients we need to be satiated and thrive!

That’s definitely an overreach. Here’s how I might have put it:

What if we have a sense of “craving” for a broad-based and long-term level of adequate nutrients, and what if we tend to keep eating towards that general goal?

[the subsequent paragraph, minus the exclamation point]
Yeah idk, I prefer when C++ teaching resources tell the reader where the bodies are buried. I couldn't give this to juniors and trust them not to leak memory

Agree balancing accessibility and comprehensiveness is difficult though. I could see an argument for leaving shared ptr out of this guide if they think cyclic referencing is too advanced, and I can also see the argument that without knowing shared ptr exists, the user may write hacks much worse to get around the problem
By now we know that if it’s only unethical it doesn’t violate regulations.
Surely it depends on the magnitude of the effect?
I've put Docker onto small VPSes. It's no hassle. The heavy part is Nginx. Adding the container on top won't be making much difference to the size.
True, but a difference is that they could not spread their confidently wrong opinions globally, only locally, and that opinions were tied to their identity.

Take my mom for example. She's 80 years old and doesn't use the internet that much. She is confidently wrong about a lot of things she sees on TV or hears on the radio. A recent example is COVID misinformation.

The difference is that my mom can't easily influence millions of others because she doesn't have the reach, but also because people are unlikely to take the word of an 80-year old person without any medical credentials or training seriously. It's much easier to look "legitimate" when you are hiding behind an online persona. If my mom wrote a blog or posted on HN/reddit, she could certainly come off as a doctor, or even lie about being one, and many would believe her. Doing this locally, in person, is much harder and riskier.
I think your first paragraph makes a valid point.

Your second is just raising the temperature without adding any real value, hence the downvotes you appear to be getting.
As the article notes, range-based for loops side-step this problem.

But the general problem (writing to a char* of unknown provenance might force the compiler to reload any other pointer reads) remains, of course.
Well, that would also require mechanization and changes to farming practices on a truly massive scale.
(Either forests, huge tents or adapted crops with high mechanization.)
Housing would have to be vastly improved as well as to not leak the cold out.

I'm not seeing India fielding the cost. Those already well-off would manage anyway... But the rest, which is the majority, is the problem.

Even if you don't need visa they can always ask for proof of funds, so nothing for budget backpackers.
I'm sorry, but I don't think invoking a conspiracy is adding much value either. I think it's completely unwarranted. That conspiracy nuts don't like it is their problem. You'll get downvoted if you enter a flat earth convention and describe those assholes accurately too.

Hacker news is weirdly populated by people with no grounding in reality on very specific topics, like this and the MOND bullshit people spew in all physics discussions. I think it's an unhealthy obsession with being contrarian mostly.

Sure, depending on how far you want to go into the future, eventually the sun will grow so bright that all our water will boil away... but barring a catastrophe that destroys (almost) all life (nearby supernova, collision with a large space rock, ...) I'm pretty sure that earth will remain more hospitable to human life for tens of thousands of years than any planet we will find.

The only thing it's really lacking is granular (per-field/entity) access controls, which is on their roadmap (although it's worth noting it's been on their roadmap for quite a while).
Absolutely! It’s so bad that “custom” rack mounting is one of the reasons I got myself a drill press. Sheet and bar stock is trivial to order cut to simple dimensions for panels, corner bracing and making “rack ears”.

But it still comes back to the fact i shouldn’t need to make a mini metalworking shop in order to affordably mount hardware horizontally in my rack. Rack mount should be the ultimate in “big computer enclosure” but instead of cool things like having a 2/3/4U massive rack mount water cooling radiator with big quiet fans to silence everything in a computer, it’s getting harder and harder to buy any parts for a non-OEM computer that aren’t festooned in RGB and designed for transparent towers with all the structural issues highlighted in the original article.
> More often than not, you'll hit a soft limit where your performance will degrade and/or you'll get kicked for ToS violations.

Hetzner does have truly unmetered root servers, been using it myself for years. If you're doing Tor, Torrents or commercial CDN traffic, they might kick you out, but for other "normal" things, they seem to have no issues with handling it as they say they will.
The article makes an important point.

Astrology isn't meaningful or rational. However, the level of contempt shown for people who are believers in astrology is wildly out of proportion. There are lots of equally dumb things that don't get the same level of vitriol.

It's valid to dismiss astrology, but that doesn't mean that all dismissal of astrology is based on high-minded scientific ideals. A lot of it is based on sexism.
What does "more habitable than earth" even mean? Habitable to whom?
Properly researching this isn't totally new. A decade ago we had a student of "sports science" in our peer group, and his advice for goal-driven diets was invaluable for some.

I sometimes feel like in the past, previous generations had a good signal-to-noise ratio; but the signal was tainted by commercial (or today I learned: religious) interests and bad scientific methods. (I'm thinking of fossils/climate and tobacco/health). For a while the quality of the signal improved, but so did the noise floor. And now we're in the situation that quality information is theoretical available for everyone (thank you internet), but (for a lay person) it became very hard to discriminate from bad (or tainted) information: Is that influencer/blogger selling me a new diet because they think it's a great idea? Are they paid/incentived to do it? Or do they actually know what they're talking about?

Maybe everyone had that impression in a certain age; I'm not above that.

Obviously that could be said about this article was well; but since it aligns with my belief I'm biased to think it can't be totally wrong. Now am I falling for anti-SDA/industry propaganda by someone who (maybe subconsciously) has an axe to grind (noise), or is this this well researched advice that I can follow (a clean signal)?
That’s some lazy FUD. But even if that were true and the contacts weren’t encrypted and PIN entry not rate limited: What do you propose as an alternative?
It's a simple way of running something quickly and without touching the rest of your system (if you already have Docker installed)

Anyway, the proxy is just an nginx with a custom config file. You can check that file and just add it yourself to an nginx you manage, probably with little changes.

I know this tiresome argument comes up every time Signal is mentioned, but there's an elephant there that seems relevant.

An totalitarian state would not need to run a packet inspecting firewall to find out who is using Signal. They have this information already in the plaintext SMS Signal broadcasts in order to collect verified phone numbers of their users. It is most likely in their power to turn off cell service for these endpoints, or even locate them and let the security service round them up.

It's a great service in many ways, but if you are revolting an authoritarian state, it's something to be careful of. At the very least, please be mindful of this and take care of yourself.
Cancer-killing virus shows promise in patients
The context here is India. It's got half the under-3yo-s underweight, dealing with a significant number of malnutrition deaths, and with a quarter of the population surviving on <$1.5 a day. Even if the cost wasn't an issue, lots of homes are still not electrified. (they're close to 100% of people with access to electricity) Get a heatpump and move on, you say?
So a better "output" might be a kind of chatbot that will answer questions about that particular piece of code. Basically it understands every detail including branches and you can ask whether a specific assumption is correct.

I don't think we're there yet (because complicated side effects etc. are a thing) but I would rather have such a solution than some text to read, after all I'd be using such a tool for code I cannot comprehend just by reading it.
Infuse on mac can
I'm also a fan of Lain. Looking back, I think it's best if you watch Neon Genesis Evangelion first, and then go into Lain with the expectation that half of the scenes were inspired by the trippy introspective scenes in Eva.

As someone who watched Lain first, I found it much harder to follow as half of the scenes were distinctively dream-like and weren't "happening".
What an interesting article. In 2004, I also agreed that adventure games were dead, and I was 15 at the time. As it turns out, we were both right. I loved the famous ones, like Myst and Monkey Island, along with a bunch of random games (does anyone remember The Journeyman Project? My absolute favorite! And Titanic Adventure Out of Time, and so many other unique projects). I also was able to play/replay a lot of classic text adventures, like Zork and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which, let's be honest, aren't always the most intuitive games).

However, since 2016, when The Witness came out, I've given them another chance, and I really have hope. There are a lot of indie games which I hope others can go into detail about, and, most exciting of all, I saw that Ron Gilbert (the author of this piece) was making Return to Monkey Island, and I'm delighted to see that the reviews are great.

PS: It's been awhile, but some of the IF (text adventure) games I've seen in the last decade have really been pushing the genre to new limits. Check em out!
It was a long time ago. If you're a signal user and you're only hearing about this now, that should tell you all you need to know about how trustworthy the service is.

There were a lot of users upset about it at the time (myself included), but their protests went largely ignored. Tellingly, they've refused to update their privacy policy to reflect their new data collection practices. Personally, I take that as a huge dead canary.
