i dont quite understand how upmixed tracks are going to sound better than an original file through a generously amplified minimal hifi system. Upmixing gives artifacts - unless this algorithm magically separates audio without them - this will be worse. i get incredibly holographic sound with full range speakers (no phase distortions from having tweeters/mids). All i have to do is press play - i dont configure anything - i've never once wanted to turn up and down elements in a mix while listening to them.
I think it's accurate to say the pandemic phase has passed and we are now in the endemic phase.

All of them have varying levels of secure implementation, and services will usually only send high resolution content to devices that can demonstrate (with signed keys) the more secure options.

Including Widevine. Widevine Level 3 is a software based solution that can be used on a variety of platforms, but the space for Widevine Level 1 requires OS and hardware integration (which doesn't include Windows for example, but is available for Android if the OEM does the requisite work).

Books on Technology Summarized and Highlighted
Here are few CS / ML books with important points highlighted. I am currently learning ML with focus on NLP. Thought it may be a good idea to use ML to learn ML.
Sure, people enter in willingly. And you’d be able to find quite a lot of Poot people who’d do really shitty stuff and let you be extremely shitty to them for money. But so what? He’s still kidnapping and terrorizing poor people and excusing it by paying them off. And Better yet he’s doing so for profit, but he’s effectively have them sign a contract that means they don’t get paid if he gets them to break. It screams of what a shitty person he is in setting this up. If it was just about giving money to poor people there would be no need for the sick games he plays with them, just do a feel good show about how much the money change their lives. But propably not as much add money in it for him doing that. He used to plant trees, now he brutalizes poor people. It’s sick even if it is with consent from the victims.
I'm confused. This is a personal web site guide that encourages using a site generator like Hugo or Jekyll or Zola. (And it's on the front page of Hacker News, so it seems like it's interesting to many of us.)

If you mean, why is no one pushing Zola, this site is obviously encouraging it, so it's inaccurate to assume "no one" is.
Maybe we should split the players: Putin and Russia might be different arguments. Like, if Putin goes away, the "new Russia" could be seen as "clean" thus NS1/2 imports would be acceptable again. This scenario fails if the pipes fail though.
The whole cloud provider using FHE usecase always seemed a bit utopian to me. As you say, most of the time they dont want to provide user privacy, they want your data. Maybe i could imagine some sort of B2B case where there are strong requirements working out, but i struggle imagining it for consumer use cases.

Not to mention, if you are outsourcing data computation, presumably its a lot of computation or you would do it yourself, so the overhead seems extra important in that case.

The most convincing case i've heard is blockchain stuff - where everything is distributed to non trusted parties. (Normally i hate bitcoin hype, but maybe FHE would let you do something interesting with it)
> You need widevine to play Netflix at all

No you don't. Safari doesn't support Widevine at all for example.
> The US will continue to carry a debt load.

No, no, that part no contest.

How you think the debt load might shrink without the US defaulting. How do you think this will happen? When? Who? Real-world specifics, a plausible scenario that you think might play out. How does the debt get smaller? What is going to change that hasn't been the case since the 70s?

And why will the US not just default in preference to of attempting to do the impossible when those conditions change?

> This is just a silly statement. I don't think we can have a rational conversation about monetary policy if you think that.

Reason it out for me, I'm obviously struggling to understand you. What do you think the difference is between borrowing a large amount, returning a small amount and claiming it isn't a default? Why do we have the word default if that isn't a default?

If that is a better option than a default, why don't all the debtors do that instead of defaulting?
Oh thanks! looking into it
Yeah, but it’s strange to spinning it like “I don’t even make a profit on many of these but I still do it!”

That’s nothing special at all, he simply rediscovered the concept of “loss leader”. He not doing those videos despite their lack of profit, he’s doing the because they’re the reason he has profitable content to begin with. It would be like a shaving company saying “I know it seems crazy, but we lose so much money on these shaving handles, but we do it anyway!” Everyone knows what’s really going on there, what the business model really is.
As for AlphaFold2 and the other DeepMind algorithms, they definitely require lots of compute but not so much that they are blocked by advances in supercomputing. This is evidenced by other teams with fewer resources starting to replicate their results.
The folks working on farms, few though they are in the modern world, deserve compensation. What will the people not working on the farm do to deserve the fruits of their labor? Whatever it will be, will be work. Same for the folks building houses, and all the rest of modern infrastructure that we depend upon to live.

Mazdas have a great third-party firmware called Mazda AIO Tweaks[0] that fixes a whole host of bugs and allows you to customize the infotainment system. The best part is you can use it to enable Android Auto on older Mazdas (this was before AA was even released for Mazda!)

Mazda then proceeded to lock down the firmware so much you now need to take apart some consoles and attach a serial connection. Disgusting behaviour.

(vis-a-vis plugging in an SD card with the scripts you want to run.)

I think the comparison with Squid Game is apt. Of course he's not killing anyone, it's all voluntary, legal, and far more benign than what the Frontman in Squid Game does, but in essence it's still using extreme monetary reward to tempt people to subject themselves to treatment they wouldn't otherwise consider.

Then again, if you keep scaling down like that, in what way is regular work any better?

It’s a challenging time in human history because we’re now capable of producing enough food, clothing, shelter, and other necessities for every human on Earth. That will only get more true as population growth slows while innovation continues to drive productivity improvements.

But we’re still culturally in the mindset you’re describing: that we must each individually wrest life out of the wilderness day by day.

As a result we seem to be inventing more and more complex and bizarre ways of forcing that reality to still exist. Like pointless YouTube challenge videos done solely to provide ad inventory so well-off people can sell things to other well-off people.
thank you! I just did it, let me know if now it works :)
> Apparently the PM wanted the announcement to feel radical to distance her from the previous government, so maybe the markets were responding to the feeling of the announcement

My understand is that it’s exactly this. So much of the markets comes down to vaguely defined “confidence” and the new leadership simply isn’t inspiring faith from those in charge.
> You don't see rich people showing up to get on game shows.

You do, but on different ones. On shows that make them look good.
We build a DS from scratch since the beginning, and we feel we saved a lot of designing and engineering time. Releasing new features has been pretty smooth thanks to it. It took about 2 weeks to implement with basic components and it gives us consistency when designing/specifying a feature.
But I totally understand what you say. It's not necessary to build a startup reaching PMF.
interesting:

"But an analysis by two independent cybersecurity specialists found that the now-defunct covert online communication system that Hosseini used – located by Reuters in an internet archive – may have exposed at least 20 other Iranian spies and potentially hundreds of other informants operating in other countries around the world.

"This messaging platform, which operated until 2013, was hidden within rudimentary news and hobby websites where spies could go to connect with the CIA. Reuters confirmed its existence with four former U.S. officials.

...

"Reuters located the secret CIA communications site identified by Hosseini, Iraniangoals.com, in an internet archive where it remains publicly available. Reuters then asked two independent cyber analysts – Bill Marczak of University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab, and Zach Edwards of Victory Medium – to probe how Iran may have used weaknesses in the CIA’s own technology to unmask Hosseini and other CIA informants. The two are experts on privacy and cybersecurity, with experience analyzing electronic intelligence operations. The effort represents the first independent technical analysis of the intelligence failure.

"Marczak and Edwards quickly discovered that the secret messaging window hidden inside Iraniangoals.com could be spotted by simply right-clicking on the page to bring up the website’s coding. This code contained descriptions of secret functions, including the words “message” and “compose” – easily found clues that a messaging capability had been built into the site. The coding for the search bar that triggered the secret messaging software was labeled “password.”

...

"the CIA made identifying those sites easy, the independent analysts said. Marczak located more than 350 websites containing the same secret messaging system, all of which have been offline for at least nine years and archived. Edwards confirmed his findings and methodology. Online records they analyzed reveal the hosting space for these front websites was often purchased in bulk by the dozen, often from the same internet providers, on the same server space. The result was that numerical identifiers, or IP addresses, for many of these websites were sequential, much like houses on the same street."

Different selectorates, different priorities. MPs who voted for the final two to be on the ballot had more established personal and political relationships with other candidates and saw her as an inexperienced MP with a few strange ideas about organising the Cabinet who was obsessed with culture war bullshit. The Conservative Party membership that didn't get to see her on the ballot were impressed with her debate performances and loved the culture war bullshit.

(tbh I didn't see much indication she was the 'most popular', but there were definitely plenty of members of the party receptive to her message, doubtless including many of those most likely to espouse racist sentiments)

No the model is to have energy storage and phase out all fossil fuels. Using gas peakers is an intermediate step, but the plan is not to increase the amount of gas used, but instead to electrify processes that currently use gas (e.g. heating).
There are other gas pipelines too, just less conveniently placed for Germany.

David Gerard’s Cryptocurrency Talk
I don't know if you live in Europe, but for almost everyone who does it's obvious that Russia is the only actor who does things like this. I'm not aware of any public discussion contemplating "who" in the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea. Everyone assumes it's Russia, and the only question is "why".

It's true that we don't have yet a smoking gun or direct admission. But it walks like Russia, it quacks like Russia, so any speculation to the contrary seems pointless.

I do admit there's a certain cold war-esque mystery in debating it here in HN, but just wanted to point out what's obvious for people living close to the events.

Whether or not a large number of people do something isn't really relevant to whether its efficient or healthy. Many people in the US have addictions to social media (unhealthy) and use few keyboard shortcuts (inefficient) and draft emails on phone keyboards (inefficient).

It's also not fine to use a small screen for programming even if you have good eyesight, as it will worsen your eyesight even if you hold it as far away from your body as you can with your arms straight - the constant focusing on an object near your face will cause your eye muscles to weaken and give you myopia. You'll also damage your neck unless you hold your phone at eye (or at least chest) level - something that I've seen literally nobody do.

One very valuable resource that I frequent is a subreddit called datahoarder. The idea is to be your own library essentially. There are many guides that have been written up over the years, along with links to tools and best practices regarding data management. The more things you automate, the less you'll have to think about this. The biggest one missing from your list is Plex or Jellyfin, a way to organize and serve local content via a media server. That's the frontend and using it with automated downloaders like Radarr, for downloading higher quality or lower quality films of what you currently own. At some point storage is going to come into question, 10 2gb movie files is a better use of storage in this hypothetical than 1 high quality movie file. The other main thing is a website storage and cataloging tool, like wallabag or pocket.

I would spend a decent amount of time on organization. This is advice from hindsight. I have over 15TB of total storage but my folder structure is terrible so even though I have a lot of amazing things, I have to remember them and manually search for them.

The last critical thing I can think of is this search tool called Everything by Voidtools. It allows essentially instantaneous search of the entire ntfs based drive by filename or size. It's a windows tool, I am not sure what the equivalent would be on another OS. It's critical though, without it I would never be able to find anything. I have remapped my caps lock to that tool.
