While PyTorch is obviously the future in the short term, it will be interesting to see how this space evolves.

Before Tensorflow, people (myself included) were largely coding all of this stuff pretty manually, or with the zoo of incredibly clucky homemade libs.

Tensorflow and PyTorch made the whole situation far more accessible and sane. You can get a basic neural network working in a few lines of code. Magical.

But it's still early days. George Hotz, author of tinygrad[0], a PyTorch "competitor", made a really insightful comment -- we will look back on PyTorch & friends like we look back on FORTRAN and COBOL. Yes, they were far better than what came before. But they are really clunky compared to what we have today.

What will we have in 20 years?

You make it sound much more difficult problem than it actually is. Embedded lights are nothing new, every small to medium airport has hundreds of them, larger airports thousands - marking runway and taxiway centerlines. Technical characteristics, installation requirements etc have been standardized a long time ago by the International Civil Aviation Organization and it's paint-by-the-numbers now. Such lights are literally off-the-shelf products and every airport maintenance team already knows how to install and take care of them.

Honeywell et al all have huge catalogues with all kinds of aerodrome lights. Here's Hughey & Phillips: https://www.hugheyandphillips.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06...

As you can see, embedded lights are also represented from pg 23 onwards and red "stop bar" lights can be found on pg 38. Here's a picture of them installed: https://i.imgur.com/ThNIQaw.jpg
A lot of low skilled designers entered the workforce and they really fell in love with "clean ui" because it required so much less skill compared to making icons like these.
Plexamp is really nice, I just tried their OSX app today too. it does require hosting your mp3's on a Plex server though.
In my opinion, iOS 5 was the peak for iOS, iOS 7 is where everything went off the rails. Present-day iOS has a notch, a screen with rounded corners, no home button, and endless places on the screen that are swipe-able.

Haven't used OS X since Mojave, but compared to Jaguar, there are no scrollbars, the interface is designed more for a trackpad instead of a mouse. The peak for OS X in my opinion was the Panther/Tiger/Snow Leopard era.
Hey, glad you like it :D. Regarding the question, I have quickly thought about whether to make it into a web extension or not, and I think it depends on whether the app has more users, and then I can validate a web extension is a good idea to implement.
rudeness is unacceptable, but there's also the belief that if someone is working on open-source, then any type of a complaint about the software is unwarranted. That actually itself is entitlement. No matter if open or closed source, sometimes customers are going to complain.
I'm currently observing the same with a client, also using Knex with Typescript. They're trying to work with the Knex-provided types, and built a (currently still small) set of functions for shared logic like wrapping into a transaction. Those require a non-trivial amount of type-juggling and I'm not sure yet whether I like it. I've seen both plain SQL and ORMs in larger code bases, choosing between those and the "query builder with some custom abstractions" is hard.

Compared to plain SQL, the obvious advantage is that you don't have to work with string replacements, but a bit of readability/maintainability is lost because of emerging complexity. Compared to an ORM there is much less working around it's quirks, but also the danger of re-inventing a good part of it.

Btw they also wrote up a sizeable number of record types, Kanel looks interesting for auto-generating those - thanks!
Its all marketing. Price and performance have a surprisingly low correlation in the hifi market, after going above the threshold of crappyness. Nobody will believe you if you tell them this.

> The controller did a few things that are unusual in ATC, but not totally unheard of at JFK in particular:

> * Completely changed tone of voice. He yelled into the mic. That doesn't happen often in ATC.

> * Yelled "SHIT!" to open his transmission.

> * Spoke in a way that emphasized speed and urgency even if it cost a little clarity (eg, some news outlets have transcribed "cancel takeoff clearance" as "cancel takeoff plans" because of how intense and fast the controller is yelling)

I think this was actually relatively subdued. There was a similar incident at Chicago Midway in 2015 where the ATC command was "Delta 1328 STOP STOP STOP": https://youtu.be/b26NcJCLZl4?t=82
They make pocket ashtrays for the very specific purpose of keeping cigarette butts in until they can be disposed of properly.

They were a pretty common site in Tokyo until they made outdoor smoking illegal in public areas except in designated areas around the city.
This factor is almost irrelevant (outside of the very long term which is impossible to predict) for several reasons.

2021 is an outlier with excess Covid deaths and also Covid restrictions (particularly strict in Korea) massively leading people to delay marriages which also affects birth rates (again, particularly in a conservative country like Korea). If you search population projections you'll see it will likely take decades before any significant impact is had.

The latest estimate is that the population will drop by roughly 2% over the next two decades. 2% over as many as two decades, during which many black swans can and probably will happen, is clearly very little.

But even that 2% in itself will have much less of an impact than one may expect. A large portion of the elderly population (I expect this to be the majority) lives in real estate that already sees virtually zero demand from the population below 60 years old. Younger people are not going to move into those places. For all the elderly living on the countryside, their passing will have no effect on real estate prices. For most living in cities it will only have an indirect effect at best; the undesirable housing they live in will eventually be demolished, freeing up land and thereby possibly driving down housing prices, but only if new housing is actually built on them.

Elderly poverty is unfortunately a massive societal problem in Korea. A common misconception is that Korea's high suicide rate is due to the high performancs pressure placed on youth but in reality that's only a tiny part of it with elderly suicide, often driven by poverty, is overwhelmingly the main cause.
Family living in Texas also had child with cancer, Cooks Children Hospital covered whatever they couldn't pay. I'm sorry to be cynical but I suspect a scam.
Yes, I totally agree. Something isn't working? Oops, now you still gotta look at the SQL!

Also...

I've seen several anti-pattern usages where someone would query a list of IDs, and then in a loop with an accumulator fetch data from another table, one ID at a time.

If you don't grok joins, and someone tells you "yeah whatever don't bother learning SQL, we have an ORM", this happens.

An ORM is an anti-tool.
Other contributors submitting their code to a proprietary codebase are giving up their license to the code in favour of the repo's license. The repo owner can do whatever with the code at that point, including choosing to open it as AGPLv3 if they want to.
Is that player comparison site still around, or do you have a recommendation for someone who has long had the thought of getting a dedicated music playing device?

The article listed those as $800, which is ridiculous and there's no way I'm paying that much, but if I can find something at a much more reasonable price (preferably a physical headphone jack) I'd be happy as a clam.
*could’ve been

This option is not open to them anymore, they’ve burned too much credibility. I’m not paying Twitter a red cent.
In the Looney Tunes case, it's because the content was licensed to the HBO Max subsidiary from Warner Bros (now Warner Bros Discovery), and they didn't renew the licensing.

Or, in other words, it's just stupid numbers games to make HBO Max's balance sheet look better, under the premise that consumers are too dumb to realize that it's actively making the service worse.
I am curious, for people who are familiar with AIX and Linux, what are the main differences day to day?
I remember a fellow student in the late 2000s who suggested she was being recruited by IBM to do kernel work, presumably on AIX.

I wonder. Is there any enterprise that looks to shift work into non Linux, non windows, in 2023?
I have used awk in a pipeline to pick out a field or fields for forever:

foo | awk '{print $4}'

I know there are easier ways. Heck I even wrote a command called "words" (like "foo|words 4" or "words 1 3 2")... but I forget to use it.

It's worth noting that IBM i has a kind of dependency on AIX. IBM i has an AIX binary compatibility environment called AIX. Think of it like WSL, but for AIX binaries and on IBM i. Of course if they created this compatibility layer today they'd probably choose to make it compatible with Linux rather than AIX, but they chose AIX and now they're stuck with it.

This means AIX, or at least the AIX ABIs as supported by IBM i, has to be kept alive for as long as IBM i is alive. So either this bodes badly for IBM i or they consider the amount of ongoing maintenance that PASE needs to be so small it can be handled on an ongoing basis by the i or the new skeleton AIX team. I suspect the latter rather than them canning IBM i though.
I'll quote an old literature teacher of mine, "You're wrong" when asked what I thought of the assigned reading. What I thought can't be wrong, it's what I thought. If you asked me what the author actually meant, then I could be wrong if I gave you the same response. As are you in this case, if you think that was what I meant.

Pedantry is so much fun
I wish I would have some use for an mp3 player but I don't.

I have my Android phone with me all the time. Sometimes even a second one so my mp3s are on there.

The only use I could see would be for a long bike tour where I want to save phone battery time but those are quite rare and the price they call there is ridiculous for that.
JAX should be mentioned [1]. It's also from Google and is getting popular these days. Not PyTorch-popular, but the progress and investment seem promissing.

Are you referring to brokerage fees? UPS does not charge brokerage fees if air shipping is used; basically, anything other than Standard qualifies.
"These days, one can use TensorFlow with JavaScript, Java, and C++. The community is also starting to develop support for other languages like Julia, Rust, Scala, and Haskell, among others.

PyTorch, on the other hand, is very centered around Python — that’s why it feels so pythonic after all. There is a C++ API, but there isn’t half the support for other languages that TensorFlow offers."

This is also a big reason why CUDA won over OpenCL.

NVidia recognised early on (around CUDA 3) that have a polyglot infrastructure was a much better option, so eventually plenty of toolchains started to target PTX, while OpenCL was stuck into "compile to C" alternative.

It didn't help that AMD and Intel hardly did anything to improve the situation when SPIR finally came out.
The facts:

Twitter didn’t have a first party client for years, the clients banned Friday are those that came first.

Core features and the name of those features Twitter has today came from third party apps.

Twitter forces third party clients to pay them money to use the new API which is needed for them to function as full clients but the new API is worse than the old one which was free to use.

Twitter chooses not to show ads for third party clients.

ORM is never about "not learning SQL". I am great at writing SQL, but i hate converting my resultset to object graph, converting lazy loading vs eager loading at times, dealing with types and changing types etc.

On "great" side of things, Linq brought massive type safety to .net land, and made queries also compile time checked.

IS it leaky? yes. Every once in a while you'll need to write SQL.
Does it solve a lot of problems? Also yes.

Disclaimer: I was once a contributor to NHibernate.
I'm fond of:

v1 - shitshow for product market fit, deliberately debt heavy for speed/iteration

v2 - from the ashes, this is what v1 should've been, emphasis on the long-term

You've already done the hardest bit (imo) by figuring out the kludge blueprint that is v1 it's reasonably easy to build v2 with the lessons learned from v1 fresh in mind.

Of course, v1 is the default model in most shops and there is no v2.
Maybe I like simple, intuitive keyboard shortcut driven environments and also like Linux.
> the real answer to your question is; nobody, because this device seems to be a phone

Well said, that's _exactly_ how I feel. I would 100% purchase a dedicated music device, but it can't be a glorified phone (I don't even like the smartscreen in the article) with a phones problems.
I am uncertain if USB can be a bottleneck there, but if I am not mistaken, SSDs offer better (more?) cache. This dramatically reduces time needed for non-sequential read/write operations.
Yes to the first question!

The distribution representing my beliefs in such a scenario would not have a finite variance.

Given the question, are you aware of the Pareto distribution? Nassim Taleb has great work explaining fat-tail distributions.

(I do have strong priors on various things, such as the size of the human population and the sizes of large prisons, which I ignore here as they break the metaphore)
I see where you're going. You never know when MAGIC will be needed and whether or not it will remain constant. It also doesn't scale horizontally. The right answer if you want to be fully robust is to make a Magic microservice that will return the magic number when needed and autoscale on demand. You could have the swagger doc for the service include the explanation.
This device has all the specs that I want _for a phone_. Seriously, I would love a music player with a phone, not a phone with a music player. They do need to increase the storage, then add a SIM card and this thing would fly off the shelves.

>It makes more sense to target exams based on your risk of having issues.

From my perspective, that's exactly the point of these basic preventative labs - how do you even know what you might be at risk for if you haven't established a baseline? As we saw on the thread about cancer earlier today - early detection has had a greater impact than new treatments.

I had a doctor who was willing to do basic blood tests and he helped me create a plan of sorts about what I needed in the way of long-term awareness, nutrition, etc. And then he retired. Since then, the doctors that I have spoken with have had an attitude in line with yours, IE: call me when you are sick. But that's a core problem with our health care system - the emphasis is entirely on treating symptoms of the disease rather than on prevention. And this to my thinking is why men in particular are statistically low users of health care - because they give up on playing the game.

On HN, sometimes doubly so. I’ve several times deleted similar comments anticipating they’d be misunderstood. But “indictment on society” and reinforcing that as an illness of society is beyond the cruelty I’d imagined people here would come up with.

The cracked.com podcast, specifically the episodes with Jason Pargin were God-tier.

I can't see a world in which I would re-listen to the archive, but they were foundational to so much of my thinking. And to this day I follow Pargin on whatever podcast episode he goes on, and on any subject, knowing it'll be incredible.

If you somehow haven't heard, the Secretly Incredibly Fascinating Podcast has him as a regular guest: https://sifpod.podbean.com/

As does 1-900-HOTDOG - https://soundcloud.com/1900hotdog

Each of these are by former Cracked employees, so when Jason Pargin is on, the conversation gravitates to a lot of the same big subjects - society, art, culture, science, and all the ways in which we take it for granted, or don't understand nearly the way we should.
Certainly the gold-plated oxygen free copper hocus pocus would only be relevant after the DAC where the signal is analog. But that doesn't matter if you are just cargo culting. Case in point, the infamous $1650 HDMI cables where people would leave hilarious reviews on Amazon.

That being said, there can be a big difference going from "consumer" level to "basic audiophile". I remember my own surprise when I first got a pair of Grado SR80s, how many details I could hear in music that I never knew existed before.

People may not have been interested in the comparison site because there just aren't that many devices to choose from and the choice comes down more to the sound than features that can be enumerated on a comparison list. Monitors are a mess, with each manufacturer making a zillion variants with cryptic model numbers differing in quantifiable ways. I've actively sought out monitor comparisons, but one for DAPs never occurred to me.

IANAD, but I believe there are some reasons why immune systems might be out is practice in large parts of the population:

- Under-exposure to pathogens due to living in an overly sterile (i.e. artificial) environment.
- Over-reliance on medication for the slightest physical discomfort.
- Physically inactive life style.
- Bad nutrition.
- High prevalence of chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, circulatory disease, cancer etc.

I really don't get it. What's wrong with gnome? Where exactly are the sharp edges on gnome that you cut yourself on? Or what exactly is the missing feature that is important to your flow? Is it just the vibe?

Every criticism of gnome I've seen is just so unspecific and vague that it seems more like group virtue signalling than anything else.
The amplifier can make a big difference because it can allow you to use headphones that you couldn't with a less beefy amp, and the speakers/headphones are the one thing that definitely makes a perceptibly different sound.

Doesn't matter what the code looks like, as long as the customers
are happy.

Can you imagine if other industries had this same attitude?

"It doesn't matter what the warehouse looks like, as long as we ship on time, and the customers are happy."

At one level that's true, but at another level, it does matter what your warehouse looks like, because a neat and tidy warehouse is what allows you to ship on time. A warehouse that's filthy and disorganized is one which loses orders, ships the wrong products. Similarly a disorganized codebase with poor abstractions isn't bad because it's unpleasant to work in. It's bad because when a dev ships a feature, they have little or no confidence that they've done so without breaking two or three other features and causing customer dissatisfaction in the process.
Storage, Virtualization, and general UX are just completely different. Standard unix utilities are either not available or just different enough to make life hard.

> executed in the most petty and malicious way it could be done.

This is not to excuse Twitter's actual behavior, which is clearly shitty. But: More petty and malicious would be to shut off access, then contact devs and promise that access would be restored if they just make these tiny changes to their app, and also sign this NDA forbidding discussion of the process. Then string along for a week or a month demanding just one more tiny change after change.

Then ghost.
