This will just fund more people who are profesional climate grifters: telling you that you are murdering the planet any time you do anything, and that the world will be uninhabitable and over becuase of you, all while collecting a fat check from this nonprofit.
Procedural generation for midi has been around for a long time - ever with fair more “primitive” archictures that current GPT-types. Even chat-run [0] can be used to generate midi-based classical scores… I can’t find the exact trained model just now. But as you say… those midi generations sound like $hit so getting them arranged properly would be v v useful.

Local hidden variables have been ruled out. So it's not really like chaotic systems at all, whose development is internal.
Maybe, just maybe more shows should be built around being a single season long with fewer rear end pulls. I'm so sick of these multiseason shows that just do nothing or don't answer questions.

Yep. This is the major drawback of backend-dependent interactions. This is what scares me away from amazing technologies such as ASP.NET Core Blazor Server where I can code my frontend in C# instead of JavaScript.

If only Blazor Wasm wasn't so heavy. 4mb of runtime DLLs is a bit off-putting to any use but intranet LOB applications.

Medium is full of people who are intentionally trying to "game" it to make more money. They produce garbage content en masse, and then they try to get as many people to read / like / whatever it as possible.

Ask HN: How should I spend my companies $500 education budget?
I'm a software engineer working on web related tech (servers, websites) for a big well known tech company. My company offers $500 to spend on education (books, courses, etc...) What should I spend it on? Our company uses ruby, typescript mainly for the area I work in. I've been working for about 15 years so I've absorbed most of the basics without reading.

Computer Science graduate with 3 years non internship experience, and 6 years total development experience.
I am looking for a Backend or Full Stack position, and have experience building ML drowsiness detection platforms, a corporate intranet website, API endpoints, radar data analysis algorithms, and much more. I adapt well to new environments and teams and am always eager to learn new skills. I have experience taking ownership of an end-to-end solution, evaluating reliability, performance, scale and cost.

Available to start ASAP.

Feel free to reach out, I am always happy to chat

That question has no defined answer. It's like asking 'how many cups of water should I drink'. Or 'how much deisel does my bicycle use'.

It depends on both time and how full it is. Possibly also how full it has recently been as well in the case where it is filled unevenly to reduce loss.

Without anything more specific than '1% loss a day' from their marketing copy, it's difficult to say, but probably "about 90% in typical use" if you want to be even more reductive than that rather than encouraging clear communication.

> Cloak also supports tunneling through an intermediary CDN server such as Amazon Cloudfront. Such services are so widely used, attempts to disrupt traffic to them can lead to very high collateral damage for the censor.

I once blacklisted a bunch of Amazon IPs that I found in some random Gist on Github, and surfed the web, and so much stuff was broken. It's staggering just how entangled AWS is with the web. The dream of the 'decentralized web' would be hard to implement. You would need to root out any dependence on AWS, Google, Cloudflare etc

But if this means we can reliably hide traffic in these centralized networks, then maybe it's a good thing they exist. Sort of like steganography with cloud services.
Why is that? You clearly feel strongly about it. I’d not considered that FOI requests might elicit such a response.

Perhaps you could define the boundary between trivial and non-trivial uses?

Have you had to deal with requests for information that you regard as falling on the trivial side of things?

Is there a solution to the your dislike of certain types of use?

Apologies for all the questions but your comment feels like it’s missing some genuinely interesting detail.
I’m kind of surprised we don’t have a “decentralized Medium” at this point. Yes, Mastadon and others exist and have traction, but they don’t fit the specific demographic that Medium does (an easy place to write content that gets ranked and monetized). With less costs would come more sustainable integrity, as well as a bigger share for writers.
A couple years before you could order burritos with Adobe's Fax enabled PostScript printers, I made PizzaTool use Sun's NeWS based "NeWSPrint" PostScript=>FAX gateway to order pizza from Tony and Alba's, and Sun Microsystems shipped PizzaTool with Solaris Unix SVR4. PizzaTool would actually fax a picture of the pizza with all its toppings, and let you preview it in color on the screen! As long as you're FAXing PostScript, why just use text, why not draw it on the screen in an interactive round spinning window too? (Try doing that in Display PostScript or Vim!)

What seems clear, so far, is that our models are still not perfect and can’t describe all of our observations or experiments.

We’re talking about the map, not reality.

Given that after quite a bit of time we have almost reached scientific consensus, but not quite, I think humility is required.

.net core is not Windows only - works on the big three (linux mac windows).

That said, I get where you are coming from - .net framework is pretty much just windows, and there a large number of libraries/apps that are Windows first, other platforms second.

If you do end up needing to do Windows dev, though, I'd recommend it, same as if I were doing Apple Dev I'd recommend Objective C/Swift, or recommend you brush up on bash/zsh/fish, C and maybe Xorg/Systemd for linux.

You can use other languages on all these platforms but the 'native' toolkit tends to enjoy better interop and have better support.

You can program just about any darned way in Java which can lead to some pretty schizophrenic code bases and organizations. I recall a fairly recent code review where the author had a static method in a class which took in another type, did some reasoning on the state of the type and returned a result. I asked why that method was not in the type itself since all the state required to answer the question lived in the instance of that object. The author said, oh we tend not to use “smart” objects.
Whoa, no it's not that trivial by a long shot. To be GDPR compliant they would need to train all their staff who deal with customer data, audit their entire infrastructure to map all the places where they store customer data and draft GDPR-compliant privacy notices for all of that data, as well as establishing the processes for dealing with all the lawful GDPR customer requests that they'd start getting. This is very, very expensive, and requires retaining external consultants and lawyers who are experienced in GDPR compliance.

I fully sympathize with all foreign companies that have no meaningful REVENUE from the European Union who instead of putting themselves in possible legal jeopardy just decide to block traffic from the EU and be done with it. It's the honorable thing to do, and frankly Europeans should be looking in the mirror and be asking if our good intentions of consumer privacy protection are actually leading the stifling of our digital landscape due to over-regulation. A good indication to me that a law is not working is if it is so over-reaching that very few companies (even within EU) are able to comply with all of its requirements.

How to Stand Out as a Software Engineer
Sure, but this is a comparison to Medium, not too self-hosted blogs.
There has been a meme circulating on Reddit about Roman road quality vs. modern roads with the joke being that we forgot how to make roads. With the response:

Roman engineering was phenomenal, there's no denying that. But modern roads work entirely differently. They are intended for a radically different usage (modern vehicles traveling at high speeds and carrying heavy loads. They also need to be built quickly and cheaply, since we need far more of them than the Romans did. It makes far more sense to make roads which are cheap and quick to build, and then resurface them when they begin to wear out. Poor quality of roading in the 21st century is entirely down to economics and politics. Under-spending on infrastructure and cutting corners in building are the main culprits. If we wanted to build roads that would last thousands of years we could do it, but it would require spending radically more money, and not having any cars or trucks drive on it for the first 18-21 centuries after they're built (as was the case with Roman roads).

It's probably some Hacker News rename rule.
It's been a pain for us too. Personally, I don't really see the point of type checked request/response models. Theoretically, I can see how it's nice but ultimately the source of truth are the domain models on either side. If you do something wrong you'll either see a 400 or be unable to build models from the response.

And since the compiler can't really type check across the API boundary you still need to account for unexpected values. The difference is that the failure happens in ugly auto generated code instead of within your code where it is more easily handled.

>In a series of technical papers I have developed a mathematical model where the counterfactual worlds which arise when you try to prove Bell’s theorem do not lie on the assumed fractal geometry of the universe.

If I'm reading this correctly, the author is describing a model of superdeterminism — although it's not clear where fractal geometry comes into play.
No it's not. It's pressure sensitive and about as fast or faster than a trackpad with movement. I've never had a problem with speed, even across multiple, large, monitors.
Yeah my original statement was overly strong -- I was really referring to the subset of people who already found that "carbs" make them sick, and contort their diets as a result.

I believe the most salient issue, the most predictive one, for a wide range of health issues is food processing, due to economics.

Comment thread from 20 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32979216

Especially this on why processing is the issue, and not a particular macronutrient: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32987219

But I also do think that there is a very typical "Western diet" that causes chronic diseases, and it contains a lot of processed wheat (and corn). The comment in this thread about the receipts of going to Walmart and then McDonald's is exactly what I'm talking about. (And it's just sad that people don't have more options; they live in food deserts.)

Except a diet with excessive fat also correlates strongly to obesity and type 2 diabetes.

I believe it's processed fat! i.e. there is a huge difference between

1) a pure white chicken breast with all the natural fat dried out of it, frozen and unfrozen, and then smothered in mayo (every fast food franchise sells some version of this)

2) a chicken cooked in its own fat

The latter has nutrients that the former doesn't. You have to eat more calories of the former to feel full

What I am to see? This Tcl port is clearly not source-to-source compiled. Everyone in this thread, including yourself as far as I can tell, agree that the product of this port is not usable as the source. The original Tcl codebase written in C remains the source and must be compiled each time it is modified to keep this Go package in sync. Hell, this entire thread started because someone pointed out that the Go target output isn't usable as the source...

The Go project's gc compiler was source-to-source compiled from its original C codebase into a Go codebase, which became the new source as the original C code was abandoned. Is this the origin of your confusion? That is a strange place to arrive just because Go is in the title, though.

Or is it that you also don't understand what the word source means?
Tangentially related, but learning to build a programming language has helped me grow as a software engineer too.
>I don't think Palmer has ever published anything on quantum mechanical systems, so this claim seems questionable and might be some kind of ideological viewpoint. Seems to wander well beyond the author's sphere of expertise.

Indeed.

The question of whether quantum uncertainty is epistemological or ontological is formally undecidable (on the assumption that quantum mechanics is actually true). For starters, there already exists a quantum interpretation where uncertainty is ontological: Bohmian mechanics. But you don't even need that. All you need is to hypothesize a "cosmic Turing machine" computing the digits of pi or some other normal number and the stipulation that every time you do a quantum experiment the result is the next digit that the TM writes to its tape. That is an ontologicical interpretation of QM that is every bit as valid as Bohmian mechanics, and every bit as useless.

It doesn't matter whether quantum uncertainty is ontological or epistemological. What matters is that the outcomes of quantum measurements are fundamentally unpredictable for the entity conducting the experiment. It doesn't matter whether the information generated by the experiment was pre-existing or somehow magically came into existence by wave function collapse or whatever, what matters is that the outcome is not predictable even in principle. And so it doesn't matter what mathematical model you put underneath this unpredictability. It can be axiomatic, it can be chaotic, or it can be a cosmic Turing machine computing the digits of pi. It doesn't matter because one of the things we cannot know, even in principle, is which of these hypotheses are correct. It's a non-scientific question.

[UPDATE] The general principle is that quantum experiments produce an unbounded amount of information which cannot be predicted from the finite information available to any observer before those observations are made, so there has to be an unbounded amount of "hidden" information "out there" somewhere that in inaccessible except by performing quantum experiments. Different interpretations hide this inaccessible information in different places. Copenhagen hides it in wave function collapse. Bohm hides it in the particle positions, which are posited to be real numbers, every one of which contains an infinite amount of information. Chaotic dynamics hides it in the initial conditions which, like Bohmian positions, are real numbers which contain an infinite amount of information. If you look at how the math plays out, they are literally reading out digits of real numbers as if they were written on a TM tape.

I think physics would benefit from the study of information theory.
