Was mildly triggered by your comment at first, being a pianist, but on reflection you're right. The skill floor for the piano is objectively lower thanks to being percussive. But my god is it difficult trying to sing with a percussive instrument while also accompanying yourself with and extra 2-3 voices.

Timbre, vibrato and dynamic control over a single note mean that people will pay to listen to a beautiful singer or sax play a single line of music but my god does a pianist or guitarist have to work to keep up with that.
It also didn't go up that much. 1.7%?
This also tends to be my view because improvisation is what I enjoy doing musically the most, but my daughter (12 yo) takes piano lessons which are quite typical in their structure (Conservatory) and has no interest in improvisation, and in fact, has resisted my attempts to get her to try it. She's obsessed with classical music and practices all the time with no prompting (and is now able to play quite beautifully), so of course, I haven't continued trying to change what she's doing.

Perhaps what are needed are methods to determine the approach that will work best with a given child.

The solution is really quiet simple

Yes, H2, with instant refuel time.

The road to environmental bliss is not paved with one stone. We need h2 for cerrain things (and have it, with 3 car companies selling excellent cars).

And having h2 doesn't hurt battery powered deployment. We need to encourage research, we need to not get fixated on one solution, and we need to stop trying to force one solution.

> There are other battery-less headsets that exist, though.

Sure but not battery-less standalone headsets as far as I know. I mean obviously they have to have a battery somewhere to be standalone, but I am not aware of other standalones that have a hip battery. I am however not an expert, but anyway we know that their big competitor Meta doesn't have a hip battery so the headset could be lighter than theirs.

> why not just put the processor in your hip too

You have all these cameras that have to be in the headset, plus the screens and other basic electronic components. To put compute on the hip you have to have a high bandwidth low latency connection to the hip pack, then back up to the headset. You already have to have an interface pcb in the headset to collect and compress the data to send over this high bandwidth interface, and the cable has to be expensive, etc. Whereas sending power up a cable is trivial. It may be that when looking at all these tradeoffs, remote compute is a net loss, but remote power is easy.

>If a factory had people quit and expected everyone else work extra hours

Extra hours to cover is fairly common in factory work. What differentiated it in my experience is there was a union to ensure people were adequately compensated for overtime.

I get various degrees of warning for reasons I don't know: "the developer cannot be identified" can be bypassed via right-click open but some app get a worse warning like "this app is malware" or "this app is damaged and cannot be opened".

Ah, my bad -- I misread the 'or' as 'and'. Agreed, lack of n/ac/ax has been an issue! Especially when cloning large repos I didn't realize how much I take >500mbps on wifi for granted.
I think it is important to note that the music that was played by middle and lower class amateurs in the early part of the 20th century (and earlier) was more like This Land Is Your Land than anything as technically difficult as the Goldberg Variations. Group singing (and dancing) was an important component, and mistakes were not really that important.

I spent a bunch of time talking to my Dad who learned to play under those conditions. It is a real difference from the generations that have quality recording by technically proficient musicians easily available.
>Somehow at some point, in what perhaps could be blamed on the ever-hated mass produced MBAs - companies got really comfortable with the “it’s not personal, it’s just good business” of letting go of their employees for a slightest reason, or sometimes for no reason at all - just to make it look to their investors like they got their shit together.

Financial services (banks, investment firms, etc.) have been doing this for decades. It might feel revolutionary to a comfortable recent tech company existence, but I'm afraid to say this is the norm. Companies can hire quickly when they think they'll grow, and fire en masse when the tide turns.
At macroscopic level ,human construct is as valid as nature's
"It's a recession when your neighbor loses their job. It's a depression when you lose yours."

I think this is just availability bias. Ordinary people - the ones who aren't glued to CNBC or the WSJ - tend to measure the strength of the economy by the job market for their friends and neighbors. The job market, right now, is pretty strong for ordinary people. Hence it "feels" like boom times, and that all the chicken littles are nuts.

Here in Silicon Valley, working for a FAANG, it's definitely recession time. And interestingly, it seems like the higher you get up the corporate ladder, the more you're worried. The ordinary employees basically just do their jobs and gripe about how bonuses are smaller this year, holiday parties are wimpier, and travel budgets have been cut. Managers complain about how we have to stack-rank employees and fret about whether we'll eventually have to execute a layoff. Directors worry about how their headcount and budgets have been cut. Our CEO seems visibly anxious.

I've learned that it's a bad sign when the people with the most information are the most worried. My cue to stock up on toilet paper pre-COVID was when I heard a leak that the CDC had told all their own employees to make sure they had at least a 3 month stock of everything. I realized the Ukraine war was serious when Biden snapped "We're trying to avoid WW3 here" while the official party line was that this was a regional conflict that would be over in a couple weeks. I'm a bit worried about this Bay Area storm going on right now because the meteorologists seem more freaked out than the general public. Similarly, it's worrying when CEOs are more anxious than their employees about economic conditions.

The popular narrative is that these are just a bunch of bloated tech companies laying off surplus employees that don't do anything useful. I don't buy that. I think the American populace has no idea what's about to hit them, and the economy's going to go straight off a cliff in 2023H1.
They would need to take all the tracking camera feeds, compress them and send them over a high bandwidth low latency interface, do the compute, then send the result back up to the displays. That all requires a bunch of interface electronics, which may eliminate the savings from moving the CPU to the hip.
Anybody with astigmatism should know better than to fool with dark themes anyway.
This is just a stylesheet.
Everyone is talking about being forced into music as a kid, but I think another factor is the talent gap. Just like steroids messes with people's body image, hearing nothing but the best musicians on the planet perfectly quantized and auto tune means the gap between a beginner (or even intermediate) and all the music we hear is immense.

Music isn't as communal anymore unless you have a friend or family that plays. I find it difficult to find an on ramp to playing with people. I don't know what good enough is because all I've been hearing in every song since I was 5 has been "perfect".

“What are you drinking, the water or the wave?”

The Magus, by John Fowles
This is where you might be missing some important context about Alexander's views. Namely, he's the guy who literally wrote a point-by-point refutation of neoreaction. And he clearly says in his email messages that he cares about debunking really bad neoreactionary ideas such as the ludicrous notion that we should all be collectively asking for a new king, like the frogs in Aesop's tale.

So why not just credit the simplest explanation, that he's disappointed at not being able to do the same with a non-trivial portion of HBD claims? Do we really need to believe that this guy is secretly a huge racist who believes in fixed hierarchies of moral worth among races, when literally everything he writes publicly takes the very opposite as its starting point?
But none of the things you mention besides NFTs are considered investments.
the fear is not warranted.

current scams are crypto-related. not web3, which doesn't have money written all over it. these scammers follow the money. still curious how they will use AI or ML for scams. the example given does not convince me. and doesn't need any of the current AI/ML advancement.
Disclosure: I'm one of the survivors, as are both of my kids. I started classical cello lessons in 4th grade, and just kept going, though 50 years later I'm a jazz bassist. My kids started on string lessons, and are both good classical musicians today.

In my view there's no silver bullet that will reduce the attrition rate for kids learning to play music, and I think no reason to believe that classical lessons are even significantly better or worse than any other approach.

As mentioned in the article, being part of a musical family helps, but is not a silver bullet. The musician parents tend to be more laid back about it, more patient about progress, less focused on competition. Very few of them express an interest in their kids pursuing music careers, though it sometimes happens anyway. Most just talk about the lifelong enjoyment of music.

Every instrument has a unique learning curve. Yeah, the violin. Guitar and piano are no easier to play at a high level, but can at least produce a decent tone from the beginning.

One thing that might help a bit is starting kids younger, before they are old enough to be self conscious about sucking. Those kids also get chances to play with other kids, and everybody applauds.

I have no aspirations of a music career, but I do get paid to play, and my main band has a small but loyal following. If you have a day job, as I do, you can pick and choose among different aspects of the music business. For instance I have no interest in making or selling recordings, touring, or being famous. I do expect to play with fairly high caliber musicians.
nah, you could already do this before with copying and pasting. now you can ask chatgpt to get funky with its answer, and it'll do most of the rephrasing for ya.
I don't believe that one bit. They have a scoped heavy perspective on what they are doing so they don't skew into feature creep. It has nothing to do with big teams and little teams. Either model can work as long as you break projects down and prevent feature creep. The more features a service has to support the larger the team has to be and thus enters feature creep. And there is Product teams who think they are smarter than everyone claiming more feature ideas while increasing their department size and this only adds to feature creep because literally it is just echo chamber of development hell.
The communities that publicly shame search providers also publicly shame and block lolicon servers. I don’t see how that means that they are protecting those servers by disliking search.
Different people have different understanding of what the spirit should be like. With this said..

> just a group of people who knew each other and shared stuff.

I wish! The thing is, private trackers are not like that, at least not anymore. It's more like a bunch of people trying to show who has the biggest e-penis (ratio, highest upload, etc.); and they're definitely not "friends" or know each other. I was heavily involved in the PT scene for a while 15 years ago, and really hated how big the egos and how many the dramas were there. Now I just lurk.

To me, the best way, or the "spirit", is that you either share it with your friends only (which is what I typically do nowadays if I buy the stuff myself), or just publish it publicly (ideally anonymously), than only to some condescending pricks which somehow think being able to download "exclusive" content others share is a bragging right.

FWIW, this is basically how eMule and most Japanese P2P softwares worked, so it influenced me a lot. There is zero gatekeeping; once you share, the files are no longer "yours". People can't even tell who published them.

But again, that's just my value, and I keep it to myself. I totally see how this is not enough incentive for others to "share" their stuff.
What do you think people should be taking from this?
I've noticed the hype shifting from crypto to AI, but at least AI is actually going to be somewhat revolutionary and (in my opinion) deserving of the hype. Hopefully it gets mostly used in good ways, rather than as new ways to scam.
Craiglist has great usability, its just aesthetically bland. Usability is generally the most important part of 'UX' though the 'UX industry' skews towards the attractiveness side (particularly latest aesthetic trends) as their input is easier to see/quantify there. The other important side is marketing/branding and in some ways craigslist has built that brand around its 'basic' interface.
That sounds like nihilism with extra steps.
Cool! Is this the same thing as streams in SICP?
That's a really slick approach. I reread your first post again and you explained it perfectly, I just didn't grok it the first time around for some reason. Maybe I thought it couldn't be that simple... but it is! Thanks for patiently explaining twice.
Ryan Williams getting sponsored by scooters as a kid. He brought out bmx tricks that people in the 90s would say are impossible, because he figured out the physics on a scooter.
To be fair many of the people involved in crypto today are too young to be aware of the history.

For me crypto is similar to the late 90's where everyone talked about how P2P i.e. decentralised communication was going to change the world. Remnants still live on today up and down the tech stack but that vision never became a reality.

I think crypto will similarly find its way into the traditional finance sector and live on but the utopia of decentralised finance will never eventuate.
Yeah I agree "the scene" is already an outdated model. Just that there was a way before PT.

> What tracker forces you to hand over personal info?

Every one I've ever seen. At a minimum they'll want an email address or to chat with you on some service like discord that requires a sign up. The process leaves breadcrumbs everywhere.

> This has literally never happened.

It absolutely has. It usually happens after the site operator has been identified. They offer reduced charges if the site operator agrees to continue to keep the site running like normal while they collect the data. When it works according to plan, you won't ever hear about it. The site just eventually shuts down one day and the people busted with the data they collect are contacted directly. Sometimes it gets out though. For example: https://torrentfreak.com/torrentspy-ordered-to-spy-on-its-us...

> MAFIAA groups don’t even bother to sue private tracker uploaders anymore, what do you mean by “caught”?

This is also dead wrong, lawsuits still continue to this day against uploaders, but the vast majority of them never make it to a courtroom since the person they caught is usually forced into settlements, the terms of which are rarely disclosed to the public, but nearly always involve paying large sums of money and an admission of guilt.

Their main focus isn't on targeting uploaders because they now know they can get billions from suing ISPs, but these site raids are huge wins for them and they aren't turning down opportunity when it lands right in their laps.
> Not that hard to stop yourself from going to the store again or ordering more

Well, actually...

I'm fat. Like BMI 40 fat. Most of my life I have been fat. I was laughed at in school for it, as far back as I can remember. It probably wasn't all that bad when I think back. Certainly not as bad as now. But I was the fat kid in class, and I felt like the fat kid.

Anyway, I have lost a lot of it at a few points. Once by going to a place with more disease than I could handle. Months of intermittent diarrhea helps apparently. And once I reduced intake to about 1200 kcal per day for a year, combined with walking around for 5 hours everyday. I got to BMI 26 or something. Not very obese, but still overweight. It felt amazing to be able to do a lot of things, but it also took a LOT of time and effort.

But then I got a job, and kids. And I started to backslide. Just an hour per day walking during my commute, instead of 5 during the day... And oh, that pastry looks gooood. Slowly at first, with intermittent periods of faster backsliding because life required a bit more from me.

I got it back faster than I lost it.

I have re-lost it a few times after that. Each time the losses are a bit less, and the peaks get a bit higher. I always gain it back faster than I lose it. And annoyingly, initially, gaining it back feels way better than losing ever does. Like finally laying down after a day of strenuous work. Or like the first breaths of fresh air after being cooked up in stale air for a while.

During my losing periods the things you describe help. Keep the food away, and you don't have to expend effort to not eat it. I even enjoy the healthy stuff.

But that's not how it is during my gaining periods, oh no. I get bored with the good food, and start craving the bad. I go to the shops to buy stuff. A small packet of candy at first, or a pastry. But that spirals out of control quickly. Soon I start scheming:

* How can I get the food without my family noticing?

* If I go to multiple shops I can buy twice as much without looking like a greedy fuck.

* Oh, and I won't be able to go tomorrow, so I should make sure I have supplies for the day.

* And eating only candy makes me sick, so I should also buy crisps so I can alternate and keep eating.

I'm in gaining mode now. I ate a box of Pringles, a box of cookies, and a box of candy, just today. In addition to the regular meals with my family. I'm here. I see myself doing this, but I can't seem to stop. Until it runs its course. After a few months or a year or two, I can usually cycle back into a losing mode for a few months.

A doctor might help, but I'm not going. The medical state of the art of dealing with obesity seems to be "just don't". A consult seems pointless and humiliating.

I've learned to take and make fat jokes, and other than that to not think too much about this. My BMI will probably keep oscillating higher and higher, and I guess that means I'll get some obesity disease at some point. Maybe that'll stop it, but I'm not confident it will.

I guess we all have our issues, and this seems to be mine. C'est la vie.
Ask HN: Have you lost social anxiety after a romantic breakup?
I've always struggled with social anxiety, both before and during a marriage. After a divorce, and some time, I've noticed that I don't really have social anxiety anymore.

A while ago a friend from college mentioned something similar. He'd divorced a couple years earlier and said that now he no longer cares what other people think.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Look, I know I sound glib here, and I'm trying not to be, I promise I am, but the funniest part about this is:

(1) I agree, Alexander isn't a supporter of neoreaction-ism, and

(2) One of the few valuable bits of information he claims to have gleaned from them is NRx-flavored HBD!

You get how that's essentially saying "well, I definitely don't think we should create a global monarchy, but those people do seem to have a point about the suitability of Africans for chattel slavery", right? That's what NRx-flavored HBD is. (I mean: it's really what all HBD is, but the NRx people are explicit about it.)

But don't just take my word for it. One of the two "more" well-supported links he cites is to Steve Sailer's blog!

I am not here to call you a racial supremacist for enjoying Alexander's writing, for whatever that's worth to you. I like a lot of Christopher Hitchens writing. That doesn't make me, personally, an alcoholic.

(I edited this a bunch, but tried not to change the meaning of anything I wrote previously. Sorry if that was annoying.)
