Related, Hatsune Miku[1] was built with the voice from Fujita Saki[2], who was apparently offered a choice between either royalties or 50000 yen, and she chose 50000 yen immediately[3].

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saki_Fujita

[3] https://getnews.jp/archives/255685

That might have been a poor choice financially for Fujita Saki given that the current estimated number of Hatsune Miku songs is in the hundreds of thousands, but Hatsune Miku not being encumbered by royalties probably contributed to her popularity.

Sounds great. It really does. Question is who would be brave enough to provide such a cool thing. I don't think even 30+ year old MAME roms are not considered abandonware, as obtainable as they've been for the last 20+ years.

Not sure by what strange logic you interpreted this as an attack on “men”.

They’re using “bro” in a similar sense to how it was used to describe Martin Shkreli as a “pharma bro”. Specifically, it’s unrelated to “hard work” and precisely related to the kinds of narratives that these people spin. We’re seeing a shift in narratives away from a focus on qualitative innovation, speaking of products and engineering intricacies, and towards a focus on money and “competition”.

Martin shkreli, for example, was not interested in chemistry and biology and actually improving health. He was interested in getting rich off of driving prices up on niche drugs with no alternatives. The same is become more and more true in Silicon Valley.

It’s the kind of narrative of the monopoly. When what you need to maintain power is sales and PR, rather than qualitative innovation, the culture will shift towards sales and PR.
3) I haven't used GCP except for Looker + BigQuery, and for the most part I have been a satisfied customer. Sharing data and dashboards across teams for non-(engineers + data scientists) is critical and Looker does a pretty good job for our use case.

4) I've also received discounts which helped us save on query and storage costs (20% off above a certain threshold).

As a hobbyist, I have used Google Colab which has been pretty good as well. (Don't know if it officially comes under GCP).

This is known but is worth repeating - GCP is under-pricing its products as a way to gain market share, and once they have a larger piece of the pie, they are likely to increase prices.
The idea that you can easily type a command and be quickly dumped into a development environment for some software your system runs is amazing. I think it’s something that actually brings people closer towards some of the ideals of GNU or Open Source and better lets you take advantage of everything being open source. (Aside: I think this is also great about Emacs; you can easily jump to the source of most things and there’s usually a way to hack or modify or inspect or debug them immediately).

One thing I couldn’t work out how to do in guix was to go the whole way through. Something like:

1. Install / use some program

2. Find some bug or potential improvement

3. Run the command to be dumped into a dev environment for that

4. Fix or investigate the bug; or implement the improvement

5. (The step I don’t know how to do) Use your fixed/improved version in your operating system

6. (Also don’t know how to leverage guix for this) Share your improvements with others

It feels like 5 is somewhat at odds with how guix is meant to work as step 4 is so mutation-heavy, but it also feels like something that an OS which wants to be as gnu as possible should really want to support. And gui should be able to make it safer too by giving you rollbacks. Maybe there’s an easy way to do it and I just don’t know it?

Much damage was done by colonialism, no question, but rapid growth from the status quo is hardly the only possible course of history, here; had the British not arrived and the French and Russians (who badly wanted to be there) also resisted stepping in.

The article assumes openness to change, but it's not clear that the Indian states under Islamic rulers would have been all that much more open to change than other Islamic states elsewhere at the time. In China at this time, governments tended to purchase newly constructed early railways in order to remove them, and heavily resisted building any in the first place because graves were inevitably disturbed. They weren't big on things that had to go in straight lines.

Firm traditionalism is common for societies, historically. Gandhi was especially opposed to technology, but the market structures necessary for modern growth were consistently opposed by Congress governments in the decades after independence, even without him, slowing Indian industrial growth considerably.

A history without British dominance (and pillage) might have been a kinder history, since the existing (usually imported) predator class squeezed less hard, and less efficiently; but it would have been far from ideal.
This is what is sold in theory. Practice is wildly different. Reconciling across departments looks absolutely nothing like what you’ve described and does not go to the cent or even close. As long as in you’re in the ballpark of reconciling and can reasonably explain the sql queries and reports that got you to a number within an okay range of error you’re good to go.

What restrictions? You don't have the OS source code, but you can write device drivers, and you can use the computer any way you want to.

I don't like Windows, but that statement seems incorrect.
Just to be a bit pedantic, what you really want is several concurrent IOs, doesn’t have to be multithreaded. For example, io_uring can kick off many concurrent IOs off a single (userspace) thread.

But yes, if you don’t have io_uring you need to use threads, and if you use a lot of them context switches can have a nontrivial overhead from my experience.
Your post is an example of forced rationality.

You're ignoring the fact that it's not just one production. I would consider your position if there was one continuous production with small to no variations.

Why are you ignoring the following?

- the sounds have the length of a yell or a moan.

- the silence between them is not fixed or related to any other sound that we can hear on the plane.

- there are no artifacts, except the weird pitch going up artificially in one of them, which might point to a prerecorded and manipulated sound

- if this was a electromechanical issue, it would have to mimic a significant part of the human anatomy, including a tongue (there are a few productions that sound like the throat is constricted and the tongue is rolling slightly).

Sure, a random electromechanical issue could have these characteristics, but isn't that extremely unlikely? You would expect other noises, not just the vocal-like sound.

It’s liability not certification. What you get with a professional engineer is someone who is liable for their work.
Agree in principle, though this likely might be easily reverse engineered to extract the masked face, so might actually be dangerous if someone was depending on it to hide their identity.
The drug using thieves are basically mentally ill and usually have felony records preventing most jobs from hiring them. Even in a tight labor market, a meth user with three dozen convictions isn’t going to get a job. Maybe we need a public works program to pay the to sweep the streets or pick up trash but that’s beside the point. They were never upstanding or employable member of society. The change is that previously they were kept to a bare minimum. Now laws have changed which permit and allow them to do as they please.

I agree if your point is that they’re doing the best option they see for themselves—but I blame voters for radically changing the consequences and incentives to it all. If you’re addicted to fentanyl, yeah going around committing theft and shitting in public places probably seems like a great idea. It’s the responsibility of the rest of society to not allow that—but now we’ve backed ourselves into a corner. All this proves to me is that the road to hell is paved in good intentions.

Modern humanity is 200,000 years old. Neolithic civilization is about 10,000 years old. Writing is 5000 years old. The Middle Ages was 1500 years ago. The printing press is 600 years old. The Industrial Revolution is about 250 years old. Humans went to the moon about 50 years ago.

WordPerfect 5.1 is 33 years old.

Humans who used WordPerfect 5.1 when it first came out were just as modern as any humans. In fact many of them are still alive and still at the cutting edge of technology.

The writer has no clue what “modern” and “ancient” mean when referring to humans.
What’s the memory handling behavior here? Are CSVs read on query or at startup? What about Arrow? If read on startup, is there compression applied?
One thing is storage density, another is data transfer rate.

Frontier's LustreFS based mind-boggling 700PB Orion storage subsystem writes at a similarly impressive 5TB/s [1]; so with a generous reading, it could potentially fill up in about 39h. Historically, disk density increased more rapidly than network bandwidth, which ultimately limits the performance of distributed file systems.

If it takes weeks or months to write such enormous data set, then there will be only few use cases, if it takes years there will be none.

"My new dryer is a heat pump. Uses less than half the energy my previous one did. It does take longer to dry clothes ..."

I used a very modern heat pump dryer in Switzerland all summer and "... longer to dry clothes ..." is an understatement.

A normal, mixed load of clothing took a full 2.5 hours to fully dry.

It reminds me of CF lightbulbs: a failure to solve the real, big problems (efficient and clean generation of electricity) leads to widely distributed pain for end-users (dryers taking hours or terrible, dim, purple lighting).

Far more interesting than hyper optimized electrical loads would be abundant clean energy sources. I would rather have solar panels and free electricity than have utility power and weird, complicated clothes dryers.

... and yes, my analogy is imperfect because the lighting issue was elegantly solved with LEDs. That's unlikely to be the case with clothes dryers, however ...
I'm with you. There is no setting. This drives me nuts on my motorcycle. I pick the nice scenic route, put the device into my pocket, (Bluetooth speakers in helmet) and then halfway through my very zen ride, this happens and I can do nothing but rage internally and try to remember to pull over and fix it, only for it to happen again 30 minutes later.

Google: you know I'm on a motorcycle. I see that on my location timeline page and marvel at the sophistication of technology. Please for the love of god if you won't give us a simple toggle for this behavior (I know you won't) just take the technology a tiny step farther and don't do this opt-out route changing thing if you detect I'm on a motorcycle.
To be fair, it does for most people.

It is as old as history itself. What you're witnessing is a result of what I call the problem of knowledge.

Realize that, everything that is learned, any knowledge gained, and new technology invented, will eventually be lost and forgotten - as the people who gained said knowledge or invented said technology will eventually die, and the next generation is born ignorant. Yes, we as a species try to pass our knowledge to the next generation, via teaching, books, or what have you, but it's a never ending problem that can't ever be resolved.

Think about it, If I were to invent - say a new programming language tomorrow, the entire world would be ignorant of its existence, let alone know how it even works. Now I could go on to teach others that my new programming language exists and how it works, but this takes time, and people don't have infinite time to learn things. So as time goes on, and we learn and invent more and more things as a species, the next generation has a greater amount to learn than previous generations. Eventually there comes a point where there's too much knowledge to learn, that even if you spent your entire lifetime trying to learn what your ancestors had recorded, you would die before having learned everything. So knowledge inevitably does get lost between generations, and thus, history tends to repeat itself, and the next generation seems decadent for not knowing what you came to know.

Computer technology is just a perfect microcosm demonstrating this problem, as new things get created all the damn time (often to be just reinventions of old things). Heck, even most old programmers I know say they struggle to keep up to date on things.

And it is as old as history itself, as this is what Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 is essentially talking about. Heck, look at most ancient civilizations, and how little we can comprehend what we still have of their writings.
This discussion has been going on for a long time. Power cables are not going to fix anything. Speaker cables, I have my doubts. I use the cheap stuff, but would go for all copper if I were splurging. On the other hand, I have bought about-dollar-store-cheap interconnects with problems, so I go for the fancy Amazon Basics level stuff myself. I get the guys that buy aesthetically pleasing cables, but that's a different story. Here's Bob Pease on the subject(s):

I don’t agree with your scenario. If the owner showed documentation that they owned the car, and the police found the car and were shown conflicting documentation, they would engage in some additional legwork, likely involving either roadside detention or arrest. If the car owner had been able to have a warrant put out on a specific person; there would definitely be an arrest.

The problem is Hertz’ “documentation” is bogus, not that the police pursue stolen cars. (Though, at this point, Hertz reports should be viewed more skeptically by the police.)

Flew United on two three hour flights last week, spent more time delayed and sitting on the plane or in the airport after being deplaned then I did in the air.

After one delay of five hours, the flight attendant came by offering a tiny bag or pretzels (with four pretzels) or a cookie. When I said “both” I got “it’s one or the other”. I reminded her that this flight was five hours late, I missed my business dinner, and we would not be landing until 1am after all the restaurants were closed.

I got both, but honestly…how tone deaf does your employees need to be?

I know this sounds too obvious to be useful, but speak as much as you can. To practice speaking more than the daily conversations you have will require, record some videos. You might pick some technical topics (or whatever interests you) and record screencasts. Listen to them once you've recorded them. You could also share them with people or even publish them widely with the goal of getting some feedback. Good luck with it. I know it can't be easy and I can only imagine how challenging it is to try to become fluent and effective in another language, especially English which is a bastard language with so many exceptions and intricacies!
I don’t understand, sorry. If you’re asking where stolen cars are investigated, I would say worldwide. Several hundred thousand are stolen annually in the US, where Hertz operates.

I think calling people NPCs started because there are a lot of people working in dead end jobs that gave up their dreams a long time ago and aren't really thinking about how to really live they're just trying to get by day to day.

>Not having those things is already a rapid decline in quality of life; why wait for a climate catastrophe to do that, when you can just make nice things illegal to have?

No offense but this is a really selfish point of view. The point is in one situation only we are uncomfortable, and in the other situation almost every creature on the entire planet is uncomfortable possibly for the rest of human history. The truth is we live unsustainable lives and people have to come to terms with that. If we can't, eventually we'll be forced to. Even if you don't want to.

Also, I honestly think life isn't that much worse without 2 day shipping. People literally lived without it for millennia. We know that we can be happy even with fewer conveniences. Giving those up is another story.
