I found a pair of decent 20-year-old bookshelf speakers at Goodwill for $15, and got a tiny $30 amplifier to drive then and my humble little home theater setup is way better now.
Packages are available for just about any distro in the next heading. Source is available as well (obviously).

Still not a single binary but as you note with it being written in python and based on cdparanoia, etc how would that work?

It's based on python with relatively obscure requirements[0] that also calls out to system binaries. Looking at the Dockerfile[1] it is built with specific revs of component software to work around various issues. Take a look at the build docs and you'll see just how many existing projects (python and otherwise) it takes to deliver the end result.

IMO Docker is one of the "best" and most straightforward ways to package up all of this with the end result (as usual) putting any Linux user two commands away from ripping a disc.

You haven't acknowledged you accused me of saying something I didn't, when I even said the exact opposite explicitly.
Again, please point out where I said "that mdma cannot be harmful".

> you acted agressive towards the shared bad experience of someone else

I did not intentionally (and that it came across that way is entirely my fault). My point was his experiences were very much not mine. Therefore only that his experiences were not universal (as mine equally weren't). It was a data point.

> by saying the fault is with him

I did not. I asked "Maybe it just isn't your drug?" which is reasonable given his bad experince with it.

I don't feel you are representing me in good faith at all.
Tell HN: Asking ChatGPT to use text compression got me in trouble
I wanted to see if ChatGPT could follow a simple algorithm to replace words with numbers and so reduce the number of tokens needed for a conversation. After about 10 questions, when my plan almost, sort-of worked, I was placed in the sin bin by OpenAI. It must have thought I was a 13yo Redditor trying to get around their new restrictions, to create some edgy manga comics. Anyway, you can use a very similar model, GPT3 Davinci-003 with no restrictions, in the openai playground.
Nope. Stop using the medical word addiction in contexts where it's highly inappropriate. Youtube isn't even a single thing. It's just a video hosting service. The types of videos on it are extremely wildly varying.

Video addiction is not a thing. See how stupid it sounds when you say it like it is?
Same experience. First it was just showing recommendations first and burying subscriptions. But those recommendations seemed decent. Now it is just a bunch of stuff I have no interest in. And recently I got a new device that I did not want to sign into youtube with, and it tried to sell me Jordan Peterson after just a couple dozen videos. F'ed up.

My reflection is that it doesn't interefere with my work at all, and my significant other and I often fall asleep listening to podcasts or video essays. I do wear headphones and I am far for the only one that sleeps with headphones in. Here's a link to a product that is a headband that has speakers built in with a 4.5 rating and 13,000+ reviews. [1] This seems silly and I would not recommend it, and suggest regular headphones instead, IEM preferably.

I am not sure if you grasp the difference in active and passive watching. I would suggest you do more research into how neurotransmitters function, that is not how dopamine works. Additionally I mentioned I have ADHD, "People with ADHD have at least one defective gene, the DRD2 gene that makes it difficult for neurons to respond to dopamine" [2] If anything dopamine is not doing what it needs to in my brain. I appreciate your concern, but it's misplaced. In my previous post I linked to a 10 hour video of the noise of an AC running in a motel room.

For students with ADHD in school, as part of a 504 plan they have the option to listen to music in class because it has been shown effective in improving focus.

Avoiding the trap of shallow problem fixing
What is interesting to me is how much of that can be self-hosted, and how easily. An ops team is expensive, but so is $490/seat-month. Some of the things you mention are really easy to replace — I am thinking Git hosting locally, replacing Slack with Mattermost, Docker with Podman, Buildah & a container repository, Postman with restclient or Jetbrains with emacs — but for several of them there really aren’t good free alternatives.

Yup. Pretty outrageous. I don't think it is custom's place to decide if the owner is gong to drive it on the public roads or only on the track. That should be up to the state Motor Vehicle Departments whether to grant it roadworthiness certs and license plates, or not.

He should have been able to import it and at least sit it in his driveway, or take it to the track, even if he can't drive it to work. There are plenty of purpose-built racecars that are street-illegal; they get towed to the track and have fun.

Now, if he'd filled out the paperwork stating it was a road car, then likely US DOT rules came into play, but still, seems not the place of customs to enforce since there are legal options.
News is relevant to all our lives. You can say it isn’t only in the sense that you might say the square root of negative one or the pigeonhole theorem is irrelevant—- it just means you have chosen to let other people use that information to control your life, without your involvement or moral presence.

This is okay. But it’s not persuasive. Just like saying you don’t like chocolate is not a persuasive position.

I follow the news because I feel connected to society and I want to understand and make sense of that connection. The news presents a perpetual set of philosophical puzzles with which I test my theories and heuristics about human life.

Meth is a feeling of high alertness and impatients with the slowness of everything. MDMA is a feeling of love for all and just good vibes from all. The alertness of MDMA is overshadowed by the good vibes. Opiates are a feeling of warmness from euphoria, like a good orgasm, that lasts a long time.

There is a bit of overlap on feelings but Molly isn't like straight amphetamines and opiates don't feel the same at all. If I had to try to correlate the feeling of these substances to sober feelings here is what I would say. Amphetamines are like the anticipation/anxiety of a big event or meeting a new love. MDMA is like being in love, but with everything and everyone. Opiates are like a really long, whole body, orgasm. Just pure euphoria.
No it's not, because you're sharing walls, significantly reducing the surface area exposed to the cold.
GPT-3 explains itself to tech-savvy lawyers and shows possible applications
My app uses private API so it can't be distributed via AppStore due to Apple's policy. So in my case I would pay only for certificate and no other benefits.
I've already spent tens of hours of my life developing the app and I don't want to add $100 payment every year to it.
No, it doesn't. But sometimes, when I see photos on flickr, or private blogs, I like to see those parameters.

If I train a ML model not unlike GPT3 that scrapes all the major news websites across the world and creates new completely reworded articles, to post to a website and charge people via ads/subs, would that be legal?
Thanks. Fixed it!
The real tragedy is being marketed to so heavily that we construe enforcing copyright on llm/diffusion companies with shutting down an AGI. I blame companies like openai purposefully marketing themselves poorly since nobody is going to enforce false advertising laws on something they don't understand.

I zone out too and thought it was just me. I think the problem is more that I don't use docker frequent enough so I have to visit the commands each time and do a refresher, which deters me.
"Social media" is a neologism in the context of internet forums. Most of the standard features aren't present. There are no followers, no private messages, no notifications, no phone app. Compared to Reddit or IRC, there are no individual forums/chatrooms that powerful users moderate. If HN is social media, then so is letter writing.

You can get an OV code signing certificate for 84$ per year - https://www.ksoftware.net/code-signing-certificates/

I'm using it for my app, and I never had any issues. You don't need to incorporate a company to get this certificate ( https://support.sectigo.com/PS_KnowledgeDetailPageFaq?Id=kA0... scroll down to the Individual Validation Requirements).

If your ID has your address printed on it, then you are lucky and can just take a photo of the ID and yourself holding the ID. If you don't, then you need to go to a notary and sign a special form provided by Sectigo.

Sectigo doesn't even need to call you anymore, as it was about 5-10 years ago.

The downside of the OV certificate is that Windows Defender will show a blue pop-up saying that your app might put the user's PC at risk. Good thing is that it will eventually go away after some time. For my app it took about a year.
He has literally never talked about python. It's probably safe to assume he doesn't know it.
As a mere user, the thing I like about Docker is that it centralizes the configuration settings and storage.

For most Docker instances I run I have a simple script (or compose file) which does everything, and by reading it I know exactly which configuration tweaks I did and where the data is stored. No more forgetting that one line in some non-obvious file in /etc that made everything work. Backing it all up is trivial as the volume mapping makes it clear where the important data is stored.

Of course, if the project doesn't have any dependencies and doesn't require tweaking /etc settings to work, then sure a single self-sufficient binary would suffice. However this project relies on Python, so that's probably not gonna work.
Not really, since one of the major characteristics is being able to recover the copyrighted work from the encoded version.

Since md5 hashes don't share this property, they're not "in that vein".

The average GPU utilization in AI clusters is nowhere near 100%. More like 15-20% outside of hyperscalers being generous and maybe mid 30% for the hyperscalers for periods of heavy activity.

There is way too much gated on data movement at this point. Sure, CXL or other interconnect schemes may help but there are whole-system challenges for scheduling and dependency management and staging that drive these numbers.
My first thought is that the differences in energy in what you can collect from an area the size of a trailer and how much energy it takes to move a 40 ton object make the whole thing seem pretty marginal.

My second thought is that even if the math worked out the incentives might not since it's a combination vehicle and each part of the combination is probably owned by a different entity. That's where a government mandate might be needed.

If Safari were the best browser for end users, why has Apple been blocking competing browsers for such a long time? Surely the users would stay on the Safari given it is both the default and the "best browser", and nothing would change. They could have avoided so much regulatory scrutiny.

Or maybe, just maybe, Safari actually hasn't been the best. It's been a vehicle to kill the web as a competing open platform. It's only now that regulators have finally woken up that Apple actually needs to compete, and suddenly discovered all these decade-old features that they need to actually implement to even reach parity, let alone being the "the best".
So it's fine to distribute copyrighted works, as long as they're jpeg(lossy) encoded? I don't think the law would agree with you.
You are missing the point entirely. It’s actually discussed at length in the article btw if you had bothered reading it.

Regression tests are extremely useful because you don’t want working code to get broken but they are tedious to write. What the author is describing is pretty much how everyone does it if you want anything moderately complex in the test, you just run and then copy-paste. Having something do it for you in a frictionless way is a huge win.

Plus the way the framework works you can still test expected behaviours before writing the code if that’s what you actually want.
Oh, one image is enough to apply copyright as if it were a patent, to ban a process that makes original works most of the time?

The software itself is not at issue here. If they had trained the network on public domain images then there’d be no lawsuit. The legal question to settle is whether it’s allowable to train (and use) a model on copyrighted images without permission from the artists.

They may actually be successful at arguing that the outputs are either copies or derived works which would require paying the original artist for licenses.

This is correct, though paradoxically people who live in cities tend to use more energy in practice, largely due to the larger average wealth in the cities. That said, I (I think like you) believe cities are the solution. We just have to opt out of using our surplus wealth, borne of efficiency, for ecologically destructive purposes.
I hate to dwell on this, but I've also seen it in real life and it boggles the mind.

Like "give review feedback that this code isn't doing the right thing" -> "change the test to make it pass, not change the code to make it work". And it wasn't really a small case where you could plausibly do that and still understand what you were trying to do.

Coincidentally that was a few weeks after I saw a comment here on HN about someone who hired someone from Facebook, and the guy would change the tests so he could push to production, rather than fixing the bug that the tests pointed out ...

So yes it happens.

I occasionally watch "let's play" videos as a harm reduced alternative to actually playing games. A half hour spent watching someone play a game/sim totally relieves my FOMO.

I feel that I'm quite net positive on my use of YT to enrich my life.
I have this problem with recommendation engines generally. Spotify, Netflix, Steam, etc. They are very bad at making novel, interesting recommendations.

They will also blindly recommend popular things, which is irritating. Steam is an exception here - it has a slider bar that allows exclusion of popular content in favor of niche / indie stuff.

Have not ghosted and many links provide by me and others. My observation is that for people who have had covid, like me, I’ve had it twice actually, once early on, so Alpha, and then post vaccination, more recently, so an Omicron variant. For these people like me who experience symptoms described as long covid, the following 3 observations are absolutely true and justified by lots of scientific published research:

(1) mRNA vaccinations can actually worsen long covid symptoms for a significant percentage of people. This is a fact.

(2) each day we are learning additional risks of vaccination. we even have a study using mice that can explicitly link the exact mechanism of cardiovascular damage caused by mrna vaccine. Also it’s very odd that suddenly anything that mentions VAERS is automatically junk science, especially as the system was created for exactly this problem. Objective analysis that accounts for reporting biases is showing serious and very statistically significant risks. Even CDC is increasingly acknowledging this as we learned this week.

(3) the marginal benefits of boosters is extremely small for most of the population, except perhaps some high risk segment. and even worse we now have studies indicating repeat mrna vaccination can have a negative impact on immune system.

Why these 3 points are so controversial when they are clearly true is simply evidence that the topic is completely politicized now. Unfortunately.
All the handwringing about generative AI brings to mind the aphorism about genies returning to bottles. There can be lawsuits and laws--and there may even be cases where an output by chance or by tickling the input sufficiently looks very close to something in the training set. But anyone who thinks this technology will be banned in some manner is... mistaken.
I work for a startup in the trucking space so it's nice to see such an in depth analysis of the industry. I can agree that most of the article is accurate based on what I've seen in my 4 years in the industry. There is so much more innovation going on in the trucking industry that a lot of people don't know about.

My company, Platform Science, is building a configurable open platform that connects a lot of the different categories mentioned in the article (drivers, carriers, brokers, OEMs, software vendors, etc). If you're interested in career opportunities in the trucking industry, we're hiring for a number of open positions[1]. Feel free to send me an email (My work email is in my profile) and I can connect you with the right hiring manager.

I suggest looking, maybe, at ALAC as well, even though it is generally slept on.

It is open source now just like FLAC, and actually has built-in support in Windows and many Linux music players despite being an Apple format, making it somewhat more universally compatible than FLAC (which isn’t supported in iOS or macOS).
My reading is that it emulates either x86 or RISC-V CPU and can emulate various real x86 peripherals but it also includes the abstract VirtIO services for ... both?
