Interesting. Any idea if there are existing file converters for Atmos (etc) to Ambisonics?

For example, lets say I have some-atmos-movie.mkv on my local computer, that I'd like to play back through my 7.1 speakers (attached to computer).

In my head, I'm thinking:

1. Needs to be converted to Ambisonics format

2. Player software (eg vlc) needs to understand the resulting format, and send an appropriate bitstream to each output device

Guessing it's not that simple?

> Your comparison is factually incorrect on every count.

Please explain how, exactly.

> I do hope that you’re just ignorant of the mind boggling amount of legislation your average food truck is subject to.

Operating one on the side with some in-laws, I'm quite well aware of the legislation. Yet I'm still not aware of a single instance where a food truck operator became a felon overnight because they had a "high capacity grill". In what cases can a food truck operator become a felon when their activities that made them a felon were legal the literal day before?

> If you become a felon “overnight” because of an illegal weapon

Why is overnight in quotes? Do you not believe I was using the correct definition of literally?

> Being responsible sucks because it demands humility and accountability.

I think you'll find that a great majority of us are responsible, that's why we know about these laws and the ATF. I can't say the same for those that are pro gun control, they tend to be very ill informed on the subject and assume others are. Nobody is saying they shouldn't be responsible, we're saying they shouldn't be allowed to arbitrarily remove rights from people because of who's politically in control of the ATF. If you take a step back and remove personal bias, every sane person in the US would agree.

> If you’re neither capable of admitting your mistakes nor following the glacial pace of state/federal law making then you’ve no business owning tools capable of killing masses of people in seconds from hundreds of yards away. Great power, great responsibility. Lately some politicians have become tunnel visioned on the power part, I’d like to remind you that in order to maintain a lawful society we must be responsible lest the unwashed masses take Justice for themselves in whatever capacity they can. This is the compromise of a civilized society, you would be wise to learn more about why things are they way they are before you write up factually incorrect justification for your grievances.

You're clearly going on some rant here that I'm not sure where you're basing this argument from and it really shows your bias (which has no place on a forum of engineers and other technical people). The point being if this were laws being passed by congress, with months of advanced notice, nobody would be complaining. The ATF can release a rule right now stating owning an AR-15 with a pistol grip is a felony, active at midnight and you best hope you pay attention to the few hours notice you've been given.

I don't really understand the idea of colonizing a planet.

If it is going to be totally independent of Earth, you'll have to set up the entire industrial base and population of that planet.

If it is going to be economically linked to Earth, then we're going to have to deal with shipping stuff there. And, like, what will they sell to Earth? I guess it would have to be really valuable and specific to that planet, to justify manufacturing it there and then lifting it out of a massive gravity well.

Space colonies at least have the hypothetical benefit of zero-g industry, aren't downwell, and can move around. Space colonies in the asteroid belt are the way to go, IMO.
I can't speak for that group. I've been doing systems programming in C for about a decade now, and C++ for about half a decade; that includes both kernelspace programming and compiler development.

I'm not claiming that the Linux kernel core isn't high quality (or is, for that matter). I'm claiming that the kernel maintainers increasingly have to resort to all kinds of extensions and tricks to keep optimizing compilers from simply deleting their code, because nothing about C's semantics reflect the "bare metal."

Good news! Complexity isn't a baseline requirement: it's possible to make a language that has the basic patterns and benefits of an average Rust program. It's what we're doing in Vale [0].

It turns out, they key is to move some checks to run-time [1] to reduce complexity, move other checks instead to compile-time [2] where it doesn't increase complexity, and then make the borrow checker "opt-in" instead of forcing it to be used everywhere [3].

I'm no whitewater expert, but this doesn't look like a near drowning to me. He probably attempts to roll but is obstructed by the rock and current, then exits just as assistance arrives. The hydraulic is potentially dangerous, but most of the circulation he's stuck in looks to be horizontal, and I don't see reason to think he couldn't have swum out if need be.

Trees, on the other hand, are scary.
> I agree that Rust is a large language, but I think you're overstating the complexity: it's been my experience that you don't need to know all (or even most) of the "clever" stuff to write large, performant Rust programs.

The same could equally well be said for, say, scala. In my experience though, you always pay one way or another for the unneeded and unwanted features in a language. Unreasonable compile times that kill joy and productivity are just one of the ways.
That's a good point.

If support for playing Ambisonics was added to (say) vlc, and easy-to-use conversion tools from Atmos to Ambisonics also existed, that'd probably go a long way to increasing it's adoption.
Weirdly I had the idea to do the same thing, including doing it in js, a year or so ago. This is much nicer than what I'd pictured. Mine would've been set to Kamasi Washington's Clair de Lune.

It’s crazy to see all these new efforts to store and share data, and none of them come even close to being as useful as files.

The only data container that has shown any improvement over files so far has been Google docs. With the caveat that I’m not well versed in this area, I don’t understand why a file couldn’t achieve the same. If there are locking issues, etc. wouldn’t something like a SQLite DB, which can also be contained in a file, help alleviate those?

Ok I didn't mean to imply maximally ideal. 300-400ppm CO2 would be a tremendous boon to both agriculture and most biodiverse wild ecosystems (e.g. jungles & forest tundra, not deserts). It would also warm polar regions more than it does equatorial regions, making northern Alaska, Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia more tolerable to large-scale, year-round human habitation, as well as Antarctica and Greenland (the resulting sea level rise being an issue tho).

> If Charter conducted a background check and saw that the prospective employee had stolen credit cards and checks before, should that have been sufficient reason to not hire him?

They didn't run a background check. He'd been robbing other charter customers. from the linked article:

> In the days before Thomas' murder, Holden made 'outcries' to supervisors about personal and financial issues related to a divorce that left him without money or a place to stay, and he cried in a meeting with his supervisor during which he said he was 'not OK,' according to attorneys for Thomas' family. They said that immediately after being denied money, he began scamming elderly female Spectrum cable customers by stealing their credit cards and checks."

He then "went on a spending spree with her credit cards" after murdering the woman. I'm a fan of hiring ex-felons and giving people second chances, but it seems they had reason enough to be concerned about this guy.
I think this was an "educational experience" in the truest sense. Hegarty showed the spirit of a true educator.

People have been able to do this via video editing and audio manipulation for a while now and much better at that than state of the art deepfakes, and yet this isn't a problem despite the huge incentives you imply that would motivate very powerful, wealthy groups with the means to easily pull it off. Video evidence is still a thing, too.

Criminalizing making fake videos of any kind is extreme authoritarian behavior and libel is already punished by law everywhere I know. If you don't like how libel is punished in your jurisdiction that is another matter, but if you want to get some ideas on how to make them harsher just get a list of countries and filter by dictatorships and you're bound to find examples that take libel and its definition very seriously.

> if users of Rust on GCC don't have easy access to Cargo.

Can you clarify which users you mean? If you mean the developers of GCC-Rust, they don't need Cargo because GCC-Rust is written in C++. And users of GCC-Rust would have no problem using Cargo, assuming that GCC-Rust presents a CLI interface that's more-or-less compatible with rustc (which I assume they would want to do, because being compatible with the existing Cargo ecosystem is quite valuable).

> The first_entry and last_entry functions in BtreeMap come to mind immediately, but there were others I ran into.

The good news is that those functions were recently proposed for stabilization and the ten-day final comment period elapsed as of today with no objections, so these are on track to be available on stable as of Rust 1.66. As for the other functions that you allude to, I encourage you to join the libs-team Zulip and ask how best to proceed on a given API; quite often I find that there's nothing preventing an API from reaching stable other than finding someone willing to do the small amount of labor involved in documenting, writing a stabilization report, and issuing the stabilization PR.

Does this support multiple time zones simultaneously? We have clients that are in different time zones, and (for example) they all want weekly summary emails every Monday morning at 6am, but in their own timezone. So California users get theirs at 6am US/Pacific, New York users get theirs at 6am US/Eastern, and we want to be able to handle this without having to worry about updating crontabs the night of a daylight savings change.

For this reason, we are using fcron[0] instead of regular cron, which allows you to specify the timezone at the start of each crontab line. If this tool supports that sort of scenario, it might be worth switching.

Shot in the dark here:

I guess its another source of feedback that can validate findings from other data. Like getting the data points explicitly from the user as opposed to inferring it based on their behavior.

Or sometimes they may not have other data. So for example - I'm based in Chicago and while watching YouTube on my TV, I get asked something to the effect of "Which store do you visit most often? a.Foxtrot b.Whole Foods c.Jewel Osco ..." presumably because there is no way for YT to have access to this kinda info.
Maybe I had a different takeaway from everybody else here about this story. It's hard to focus on anything other than the ending interaction.

To me it sounds like the CEO just started panicking and sent you an email so he wouldn't have to do anything relating to fixing or explaining the problem in sales for all his customers or paying you for your work / to fix it. He probably didn't even want to pay for a lawyer, rather than how he played off being nice.

It sounds like he just got away without having to do anything because he threatened you and sold you a cop-out story "But what about the kids?"

A 747 carries 500 passengers, Concorde carried 100. Your costs per seat mile are going to be at least 5x higher.

The Concorde engine was efficient at cruise - and pretty awful everywhere else. At cruise it was about 10% more efficient than a GE90. But the Concorde had 4 of them, and a 777 has 2 GE90s.

This is also why you don't see 4 engined planes anymore, except for the A380 and most people were hell bent on retiring during the pandemic until they couldn't get more 787s/A350s and the 777X is delayed.
It might be nice to have something like this with very, very limited interactions to run in the background while programming or whatever.
That doesn't make it permissionless. The parent is right. USDC is closer to an IOU than a permissionless ERC20 token because the contract it uses has been modified for the centralized blacklist functionality and can lock you out any time.

Maybe I'm jaded but I've met a lot of brilliant people in my life. They come from all sorts of backgrounds.

I've often in turn seen how those backgrounds can become safety nets, not equally distributed. The benefit of the doubt is extended very far, and when you have knowledge on the other side of the curtain it starts to look self-fulfilling sometimes.

It's hard not to look at scatterplots of things like SATs, GREs, and GPAs, and see a lot of randomness. Not pure randomness but it starts to be hard to justify to yourself when correlations of .1-.3 begin to be interpreted in the general public as if they were .9.

I had the misfortune of bringing up firmware for an overengineered piece of crap with DDR5 and even though we had the proper measuring equipment instrumenting properly is barely possible. It's designed with reflections in mind and there's a loopback channel at a slower word rate that I think the controller uses to characterize the analog signal because it's like, barely digital.
I think you got it. From some grumblings on twitter, it seems like calloc no longer zeros allocations since it assumes the memory is already zero'd and so assuming most people on the platform do the right thing (call calloc instead of malloc+memset/bzero), this change has zero performance impact. That might have some fun effects for writing exploits (if you can predict what page will be allocated next, you can do a sideways spray by hitting the region before its allocated and then let the downstream calloc callers get hit with unexpectedly non-zero fields.

The taxiing was bad, but that wasn't the worst of it. To go from subsonic to mach 1.7 the Concorde used reheat ("afterburner") that just dumps fuel into the already hot exhaust. This is not particularly efficient. Then from 1.7 to mach 2 it didn't need reheat, and at mach 2 it was quite efficient of an engine design.
