Does it reliably and persistently mute all the time?

On iOS specifically I have the problem that sometimes an ad starts to blare from a background tab (sometimes on another tab page) out of the blue. So I try to never leave YouTube open. I cannot imagine that YouTube wants me to keep it shut, but well... there we are.

What makes the whole thing even more ironic is that YouTube refuses to play in the background in any other case, even though it seems to be perfectly possible from a technical point of view.

When I turn the volume down on my phone I know what I get and it'd never let me down.
Spoiler: the number is a bit less than 2e16.

Since we've already got the "mole" as a unit (more-or-less) at ~6.022e23, perhaps we should also have the "ant" as a unit...

The rider is a much bigger factor, of course. But that’s not the problem being addressed here. You’re not suggesting the bike should not be optimized are you?
You’re missing the point if you think that that is “in the same spirit”.

SQL-as-strings and SQL-as-AST are still the same thing. What is being proposed it not to write procedural code for record retrieval instead of declarative SQL.

Nope, just plain old share ware. From 2001 to 2012 or so. I used payment processors like eSellerate or later fast spring. Receiving money for your software and sending out an email with a license key wasn't black magic.

The App Store (Mac App Store for me) achieved only one thing for me: Make it more complicated (review process, sandbox) and less profitable (30% vs ~8% cut).

I still sell a good share of my software directly without having Apple's horrible review process in between. It's still easier (upload binary, update sparkle RSS feed, done) than the whole App Store review process.
They certainly don't care enough to enforce it.

> Magnus should explain his actions to the organisers

He almost certainly explained himself to the organizers of the Sinquefield Cup, given how they instituted more anti-cheating measures as soon as he withdrew. They knew what was up, they just didn't come to a good resolution with Magnus and he withdrew instead.

> and the public

No good can come from that, any resolution will be either Hans being caught red handed, tournaments employing anti-cheating measures that put Magnus at ease, or tournaments having to choose between inviting Hans or Magnus. None of those involve the public in any way.

> or just not enter tournaments

I'm pretty sure he told the organizers of this tournament "I'm not coming if Hans is coming", and they told him "you signed the contract months ago, you have to come". So instead Magnus did the closest equivalent to not playing Hans: play one move and forfeit.
Yes, but each image needs access to this 4GB (actually, I have no idea how much RAM it takes up), plus whatever the working set size is. It is a non-trivial overhead that really limits throughput of your system, so you can process less images in parallel, so compressing billion of images in reasonable time suddenly may cost much more than the amount of storage it would save, compared to other methods.
Nice new language features for Java users! sobs in Android-Java8
Looks like they just won't stop digging the Loom hole deeper, huh.
This is the feature I've been waiting for. Bring on the era of the loom!
No, it never tried that.
The boxy shape would likely still be less aero in isolation, but certain parts that in its slipstream might be so un-aerodynamic that the see less drag through more turbulent air than through clean air, and the boxy one provides more turbulence. Or it's the reverse, total drag benefits from the boxy rear and the rounded one was round on the rear as well (or not round at all, just some knotty wrap that approximates "round" very roughly, contrasting with a clean box)
Another example of the frustrating ‘Adobe upsell’

The first release to contain bits for Project Loom (the "virtual threads" part of the release notes). That is extremely exciting, since it is designed in a way that mostly allows drop-in replacement of existing threading and thread pool code, without requiring an utterly different programming model like async, coroutines or reactive programming do.
It's not a case of money imho, it's a case of it's a juggernaut of a userbase and ecosystem that moves very slowly and implementing improvements to execution times (generally) are intremental changes, not paradigm shifts as they make backwards compatability a nightmare/impossible.

I mean 2.x is still in the wild and some companies provide support for it, still!
As a non NFT-ecosystem user I looked at the account, retweets and replies and it's the most spammy account I've seen in months. Is this what a daily Twitter feed looks to to other people, constantly pushing NFTs to each other?
So easy enough if building a new small house or a cabin.

The US has many many houses with 4000+ square feet, and no good way to heat it cool outside if AC and a furnace. Are we going to bulldoze all existing houses to meet this goal? What’s the impact of that to the environment?
I guess housing prices are a bit of an issue. But I think 500k+ for an apartment pretty much suggests either a large city/metro, or a large-ish apartment that you probably wouldn't be paying for alone.

And if the interest doesn't drag you down too much (as it might at the moment of course), that n*100k apartment is going to become your property of multiple hundreds of thousands over the years, so it's not like it's only an expense. I get the interest costs, up front payments and general debt amounts can be overwhelming, though.

> Can I ask which major city?

Helsinki, Finland, so backwater on the European scale, large locally. I'd guess we probably have slightly lower salary levels than some major Western European countries (I'm in the same ballpark as you but senior positions can pay more), and a more or less similar cost of living (except that housing isn't quite as expensive as in major metros).
Boring work, low pay, bad commute, long hours, dead-end job, etc.

There are loads of things other than people being arseholes. You're probably already typing "but all those things are because someone is an arsehole!". That's not what OP is talking about.

It's always funny with people having paid $10k extra to save a kilogram on their bike, and then show up on the Sunday group ride with a beer belly. But I think these articles and study are mostly written for / paid by professionals, and they don't have that much more weight to lose.

But reading "The secret race" by Hamilton (one of Armstrong's team mates), they do focus obsessively on it. They would often ride for hours, then take sleeping medication and go to bed without eating.
> the fastest riders in the 200-mile Unbound average 20 mph (32 km/h) across the Flint Hills of Kansas.

Let’s not forget that the most important aspect of averaging 20mph on grave roads: drafting, low body weight and high fitness.

If you watch footage of the unbound gravel race they mention, the winners are with a group of riders until the very end.

The fastest riders are professionals sponsored by the companies trying to sell you this aero gear.

If you want to ride faster ride in a group, find your ideal body weight and spend money on a coach. Only then spend money on bike parts beyond the basic lubricated chain, correct tire psi, etc.

LINQ is stunningly successful, LINQ Query syntax (what you probably are referring to) with LINQ to SQL less so.

And yes, as usual, we have the amazing confusion of Microsoft Naming.

Nothing wrong with a few false positives from the males, evolutionarily speaking! I'd say the species that's in trouble is the one whose males HAVEN'T tried copulating with some other species or inanimate object.
> forced into being locked into their ecosystem

Who is forced into using their ecosystem?
Interesting. Perhaps it's police negligence? All the "defund the police" rethoric must have taken its toll and these guys are probably afraid to do anything remotely controversial now. I can't imagine police in Germany, France, UK or Poland would tolerate homeless encampments on main streets of major cities. In Poland, they usually take them to the shelter, where they get kick out for antisocial behaviour, so that the police can again grab them off the streets and take them to the shelter - and so it goes. They're not left unbothered though.

I read it as a generalization that included the west, the far east, pretty much anywhere our extended group of cousins has been able to survive. And we are all cousins. But apparently much like you shouldn't have a kid with your 1st cousin. It is for some reason very important to kill anyone further out than your 1000th or so. At least if they have something you want. Then our huge brains kick in and give us a good reason to do what we already wanted to. Often we write it in a book to make it more legitimate. Might be God told us, or we might come up with something scientific (interpreting data with a motive is super flexible) if we aren't feeling particularly religious.
Excellent! Is there any sample code for connecting to the device? Does the cloud dashboard have an API?

That makes more sense. I guess if people are always true to who they are then they have nothing to worry about.
Show HN: A couple of links about Stable Diffusion AI Generation
I've been studying Stable diffusion for some days and this Github page I linked in the title shows the incredible power that Stable Diffusion has Right now, and it is growing everyday. I think people on HN ought to know and discuss about it, and share their ideas and discoveries.

It can do text-to-image out of nothing with a customer-grade GPU, and image-to-image for incredible variations that you can guide with the criteria you choose.

https://imgur.com/a/Jt76AHA

Just check that picture out, I made variations from the base picture top-left, either to black-ened, or to white-ened, or to the combination of both... The power is infinite. It is called "Prompts matrix".

You can run it from your own computer preferably with 8GB VRAM+ GPU, or cloud-based virtual machine (I managed to run it on Microsoft Azure but not for cheap). To install Stable Diffusion and experiment for yourself, simply follow this page guidance: https://rentry.org/voldy#-guide-

If you just want to try out simply you can check out "beta.dreamstudio.ai" but it's not free beyond the first 200 images. It is free on Huggingface but it's struggling with the demand so I Won't link it.

It generates 512x512 imges, but you can ENHANCE the fuck out of it with this link: https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN
Check out the link "Portable Windows". You can commandline it and batch a whole folder with a .bat script, on Windows (and Unix of course). It's free, no strings attached (as far as I know).

If you generate texture or paintings you can generate a normal map and a displacement map, with CrazyBump.com. You can BATCH it a whole folder to their respective normals. There is a free trial which does the job, but buy it if you can, because it's awesome.

Here is a cool link about SD: https://lexica.art/ ("the SD search engine")
Here's to showcase the most important PROMPTs the engine can handle: http://stable-diffusion-guide.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws...
At this link, you can buy and sell PROMPTS: https://promptbase.com/ (it's a great place to have great ideas)
Finally here's a database of prompts and their generated picture, to get ideas: https://laion-aesthetic.datasette.io/laion-aesthetic-6pls/im...

That's it for what I learned as of know. I hope people will talk about that and so we can get more nerds into the Stable Diffusion and make it even more open and awesome.

Thank you for reading
I concede that the Rust tooling is miles ahead no question.
I was saying a commanders accuracy with a rifle isn’t relevant to their ability to decide tactics or strategy.

Nothing you’ve said contradicts what I said.
Unlike pretty much everything in Chess, this is an international news story. That’s quite significant.
Well, we just had a real judge with a real law degree that said the App Store is not a monopoly in the Epic vs Apple case.

It's on a date-based rather than feature-based cycle since 8. I think I recall there being talk of doing that back in the Sun era at one point, but then it ended up being a multi-year wait regardless.

Very much nicer this way, and although a few businesses are still stuck on 6 or 8 most places seem to be aiming to stay current with Long Term Support (LTS) releases (of which 17 is the current LTS and 21 will be the next one).
> This is an "easy to say, near-impossible to do" task that's been shoved with little effort from the proposer onto the museum staff.

In principle, this is true, but in many cases the responsible party is very well-known and yet there is active resistance from the British Museum to repatriate the plundered items. For example, the Parthenon Marbles.
Yes indeed. I've been looking for an auto summarizer that reliably doesn't change the content. So far everything I've tried will make up or edit a key fact once in a while.
> so what harm is there in one codepoint no one will ever need?

Fonts bloat (do you want a font with 1 million characters in it ? I don’t. Do you want to have to install 1000 fonts having 1000 characters each to be sure to cover all the Unicode table ? I don't).

Lots of issues for everyday programmers (how do you handle weird unicode characters in your validation code ?) potentially leading to security issues (bypassing validation rules by close-but-different characters, phishing…)

It seems that with processes is like with deaths: a disaster needs to strike for people to implement a working process.

Beautiful prose-etry.

Right. So the general says we should use a different weapon. That’s fine. It’s also fine to question if that strategy makes sense.

It is nonsensical to say “the general can’t hit a moving target with the old rifle, so he should say nothing at all about weapons”. Which is what the person I replied to said.
I wish more languages would have gone this route (looking at you, Rust)
You don't have to understand my attitude, but you might want to be aware that this is a real phenomenon, occurring regularly in the world around you, and take it into account if you happen to be thinking about so-called "software supply chain" issues.

I'm not actually taking a stand about anything; github can do whatever they please. I'm just sharing a funny story from my recent life which illustrates a point from this article: there is no software supply chain, there is only an army of volunteers bearing gifts. If you try to demand that these volunteers raise their standard of gift-wrapping, no matter how small and reasonable a request that may seem to you, some of 'em just won't show up anymore.

Of course I have spent more time here talking about the problem than it would have taken to fix. So what? This conversation is fun! I am happy to spend my free time this way. When I choose to spend some of my precious free time on grungy, irritating chores, however, there's a long list I would rather deal with before this nuisance from github would come up: washing the dishes, taking out the trash, running the laundry, sweeping the floor, scrubbing out the toilets... those all being activities which improve my environment in ways I actually care about.

> It's no longer 1930s, where "normal" people could genuinely be homeless because of economic difficulties.

We're getting back there. With the added problem of cheap fentanyl easily available. The amount of young people I've seen on the streets has skyrocketed, not to mention refugees on the corners begging. This is Chicago. And lots of young people, especially those not lucky enough to be in the laptop class- are just a few paychecks from homelessness. It will be even worse this winter when cost of living goes up and you can't afford to live while working.
Where you see the suffering: Brad Pitt sculptures suprise debut (in Finnish)
I don’t look down on her, she’s pretty cool IMO and it isn’t a chore/charity to see her.

My achievements etc are more to highlight the fact that it’s not and shouldn’t be weird for us to be friends, in this age of hyperoptimizing relationships for personal gain, though I see how it can come off.

Really, we are cut of the same cloth, just my life went way easier and I was fortunate enough to get to where I am without falling through the cracks. I only judge people on their actions as I perceive them, not who they happen to be.
Worth noting as well is the involvement of Douglas Adams in the whole affair.

The documentary linked in that clip is called “Last Chance to See” and is an outgrowth of an earlier collaboration between Adams and the BBC, which also included a book by Adams that I highly recommend. The Kakapo is a prominent character.

From Strength to Strength, by Arthur C Brooks. I heard about it from Sam Harris’s recent interview with Brooks. Focuses on the very practical nuts and bolts of growing old, what that means for you in all aspects, and how to capitalize on your new strengths while letting go of the old ways that won’t serve you anymore.

I plan to read it in a few years when I have my own mid-life crisis.
Maybe someone knows and could answer, please: Who is making these machines now?

As much as I can find, none of the following companies are making (home) knitting machines for quite a while anymore: Brother, Toyota, Pfaff, Juki.

No idea what this Silver Reed is.
"To me it's about self-reflection. It's about where I have gotten it wrong in my relationships, where have I misstepped," Pitt said at the opening.

Scroll down the page to see all six of the sculptures. How come I see this as some of the most beautiful art? You literally can feel the suffering of decisions and life. Being so famous that he is I guess we can all somehow relate that occasionally life's not perfect and we all do things we aren't exactly proud of. Beautiful.

Yeh, it’s reasonable to assume this was the best move available to him, strategically. If he’s quiet: it’s for strategic reasons. If he play and forfeits, instead of not playing at all: it’s for strategic reasons. Etc. Saying it’s petulant or childish or whatever just shows you think toddlers are far more strategic than anyone realises.
Because it’s valid in all other contexts.
You should be using prepared statements and variable bindings. You should never have to parse any statement more than once (many dynamic language interfaces even cache statements for you, and many SQLite libraries also offer an interface for this out of the box).
You should also never be formatting integers into strings, but simply binding them to the prepared statement. I really hope you weren't interpolating them and formatting each statement with the literal values in the string. That would be horridly inefficient, and a bad misuse of any modern SQL database. I also hope you were properly using transactions to speed up your batches.

See: https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/stmt.html
I wonder what triggered this tweet? Does Azure use a lot of C/C++?
It’s weird and confusing, but also performant. Remember Rust is first and foremost a systems language. You can get a 10x speed boost by using the right string (str vs string) in certain circumstances.
Real hard deadlines aren't that common in real life except in a subset of industries. What people want estimates for is budget reasons. They want to lock down both scope and time. So if you want to start removing edge cases and details you'll often find they don't want to do that either.
But Native Americans weren't Dutch, were they? Immigrants CHOSE to come to the USA and CHOSE to adapt. A bit different in case of most russian minorities.

If you consider what the Americans did to the natives bad (which you should) you should be as concerned for russian minorities. This "if Americans are bad, we should be allowed to be bad as well" take is tiresome.

That's the sad part--like I'm human but get accused of being a mentally ill bot of some kind--the sad part is there's a lot of folks that don't write that much better in most respects than GPT-3. Well and if they read a lot of GPT-3, it reinforces. I for one don't have a problem communicating with machines, they have a message that message might have worth.

> You don’t have freedom of choice as to who to buy from at your local grocer, either.

Exactly, and this isn't a problem because you have plenty of choice as to which grocer you patronize.

There are plenty of mobile app stores. If you don't like Apple's, then grab an Android and use Amazon's.
