This is great. I was a big fan of the beats music service's feature that let you 'mad lib' a sentence like "I am [singing along] [with my bff] [in the car] to [pop music]" and was always let down nothing similar appeared in competing services. This feels like the next step for that kind of feature.

For about a year now I've been eagerly awaiting when this kind of thing will become available for streaming TV and movies. This christmas it really struck me how cool and convenient it would be to be able to ask a smart tv "Hey, throw on a mix of all the good Simpsons and Bob's Burgers holiday episodes." I can't imagine that's far away now, especially seeing this project! Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if at this point the hardest challenge would be somehow launching between different services to specific programs, not building the playlist itself.
Ask HN: Dynamics between CEO and CTO as a startup matures?
I'm considering founding a startup with a very inexperienced would be CEO. Seed capital is already available, I would take on the CTO role. We will hire a team of developers.

My concern is that I am bringing significant technical expertise to the table, and we will be targeting a very specific Saas idea. From a raw income perspective, I can fetch about 2-3x the CEO, and have alot more years of experience. I also have good general people/product skills.

The reason I bring this up, my fear is that I will pound the pavement building the product. Initially the power/direction of the company will be in my hands. But after a few years and de-risking/gaining customers/hitting PMF, the CTO role diminishes significantly relative to the CEO.

I ask because I do see myself resenting this situation. Clearly the answer is to found something myself. But lets put that aside. Has anyone seen issues with this type of dynamic?

I'm not discrediting a non technical person, but the value comes from the software. We already know exactly what we will build.
for the curious:

function 2fa(){

local sec=$(pass show $1.secret)

local code=$(oathtool -b --totp "$sec")

echo $code | xsel -ib

echo "Copied $code"

}

then call it as `2fa <account>`, and make sure you store each <account>'s secret as `pass insert <account>.secret -e`.

False positives can be a far more serious issue than people are willing to admit. There are plenty of loss of life incident reports that include wording like "the operator disabled the alert system due to numerous false positives" near the beginning.

> "everyone agrees on"

"Everyone" in what scope? For an international team of engineers and scientists, the answer is obviously metric. But if "everybody" in the relevant context is other tradesmen in America, then "everybody" agrees on the American customary units. It doesn't matter to the latter what the former pick.
Hydrogen is extraordinarily annoying to store and transport. Oil is kind of annoying, but not “heavy cans of pressurized gas that leaks through metal walls anyway and is explosive in a wide range of air concentrations” annoying. Nobody has figured out a workable way to deal with this, though they might at some point.

It’s also not an accident electric cars are so heavy—gasoline or diesel fuel are fantastically energy-dense compared to almost anything else you might want to use, even accounting for the intricate engine you need to haul around to take advantage of them. Not to say that you shouldn’t try and use something else, just that it’s a very real problem.
As I understand it the reason for plausability is that there can only be one 'top' level, but any sufficiently complicated simulation could contain more simulations within it. The potential depth being more or less infinite if the top level is infinitely complex.

My thoughts are that given the complexity of the simulation we are currently in, whatever could be simulating something like this would have to have insane compute power or be limiting required compute in various ways, or both. I sometimes wonder if things like the relatively low speed of light is an example of this.

As for simulating bone cancer, unfortunately if youre only simulating a universe to see how black holes work (or whatever) then it may not matter to the designers what side effects there are -- although it would be nice to think that life would at least be a curiosity.

Can you talk a little bit about the origin of the sequencer in the Tempest? As in, did you start from scratch, were you looking to emulate a particular preexisting model? I recognize that the Tempest was built on different hardware than anything that I presume Roger had ever worked on, but I imagine he contributed to some conceptualization that you then had to translate into a functioning OS.

A long time ago now, I wrote a crude Javascript emulation of a Boss DR-110, and when I got to the sequencer part, I threw in the towel because it seemed to be a step beyond the "hobby" level of effort I was willing to commit, lol.
Although I'm not up to date on the most recent industry developments, I'd say to be less concerned about the number of qubits, and more concerned about the gate fidelity and qubit coherence. Certainly, you want a quantum computer that you can actually use [1]! It's also important to distinguish between the adiabatic quantum computing of companies like D-Wave with their many qubits and the gate-based quantum computing of Google, IonQ, IBM, etc. with their fewer qubits.

the average person doesn't understand the ancient notation used for calculus; that doesn't make "calculus" arcane; and the article was writing in the past tense

your point about those who copypasta-ed command incantations is reasonable, but they did get them from people who knew how to write them and conditions (like situational pathnames or dangerousness of side effects) are sufficiently variable to limit the scope of this style's applicability
We had very funky case - the crash happened couple of times per month only, with web app doing daily work via REST API producing very large collection of pdfs on single API request, each having from couple to 5k pages. It was very hard to troublehsoot and pinpoint memory corruption problem (took us several months, one doesn't expect this in C# app). Finally we switched to QuestPDF. Surprisingly, performance was exactly the same as with dink (which is surprising); I see in recent changelog 50% speed up on textual PDFs so this might be a game changer (TBH performance is great even now).

BTW, we used dink for half decade in public web apps with millions of users. Dink was used to create PDF reports and we never had a crash in that concurent scenario. However, when we started doing typical non-web multithreading this started to happen.

So funny to see this pop up in this discussion. This is quite possibly my favorite Twilight Zone episode, and it had a similar impact on me upon seeing it (although that wasn't until ~2005 as I was working my way through the series in college).

I am not a lawyer and this should not be taken as legal advice, but I have skimmed the entirety of the DMCA.

This is not really a DMCA takedown. The City of London Police, Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) is pretending to make a DMCA notice to instead claim that Github is in violation of the UK law "Copyright, Design & Patents Act 1988, Offences under the Fraud Act 2006 and Conspiracy to Defraud" if they do not remove the site.

The DMCA does not make any general provisions for notices and compliance to foreign laws. I don't know what the laws are in the UK, but the UK should have some method like the DMCA for providing a notice to a hosting company to warn it of liability.

I don't think mixing a UK law based complaint into a DMCA (a US law) process is a good idea. It does seem possible that the PIPCU might have sent a differently formatted notice and been requested by Github to format it as a DMCA notice. In which case the actual text of DMCA is completely irrelevant.

Github posts these notices in a redacted form:

I’d love to know at a high level how you went about implementing this. Is it just using OpenAI’s built-in music knowledge? Did you do any of your own classification?
I don't think it is comparable to falco. Talk is more about security violations of the container. It is not related to distributed tracing.
You can steam reform plastic and get hydrogen for that purpose. It will imply that you have to lose a percentage of your plastic input, but if it is just plastic waste then that is not a huge problem.
I have a theory. The last 100 years has seen govt spending as percent of gdp increase to ever greater levels. People are expecting more and more handouts and no one wants to pay for it. Without the ability to pay for it via taxes, the govt will eventually have to default on it's currency and thus real returns on fixed income/bonds will have to become increasingly negative.

Their article already shows a slight widening between bonds/equities post 1950. My theorey is that for the next 100 years, we'll see a much larger widening between the returns of bonds and equities as more and more governments default on their currency. Thoughts?

EDIT: the article I referenced was the one the other poster mentioned: https://economics.harvard.edu/files/economics/files/ms28533....

Also, equity returns should in the long term be equal to Producivity per capita + population growth + inflation + dividends. And If you look at each of those for the last 100 years and the next 100 years for the US, you'll see a pattern. Pop growth down to 0.4 from 1.3. Per capita growth down several percent in the last 20 years vs the 100 years before that and with current PEs where they are, dividends are down to 1.3% from a historical 4.5%. Translation: Future equity returns will be much much closer to inflation than they have been in the past.
Genius Group stock rallies over 200% after it hires former FBI director
Sorry, same. There's such a myriad of e-learning platforms in Germany and I guess it's the same for most countries.

I would believe the same goes for our own research static analysis and autotrading platform (in our case SQL) which probably every CS department also has quite a few of.

I wouldn't put my hopes up for anything publicly available that fits your platform and has a bus factor higher than 1.
Here's some math:

3.5KWh rough estimate of power requirement (not including embodied energy of device or repairs).

Oil contains 10,000 kWh per cubic meter (1 million ml). 10 million Wh/m^3 = 10 Wh/ml

Device outputs 380ml of oil, so output is 3800 Wh/run. Depending on the fudge factors on the input power this device yields less than 1.1 units of oil per unit of electricity.

Even if they increase the efficiency at scale, this device's entire value seems to be in in removing a waste product, not in generating an input stream. A device that can 'pull' hydrocarbons from the air might actually beat this on the grounds of efficiency for inputs.
First off, I'd like to commend you for using landfill volume as a proxy for productivity. It's refreshingly honest and I wish economists would take note.

That said, there are last-gen GPUs and ASICs going to landfills. Some people are actually getting paid to make the inputs to the otherwise-ephemeral pseudocurrency. Not to mention all of the CO2 released into the atmosphere... you can't see it but that $1.8B put it there.

This is a somewhat different idea but I'd like to be able to feed structured data (in memory objects) to an (user defined) awk-like script without the need to serialize/parse everything. This could be used for packet filtering, conditional breakpoints, file searching, syscall filtering and intercepting, etc. Basically wherever you need a user defined filter more powerful than regex.

The embedder can decide what variables and functions to provide for each invocation of the script. You could get something like Wireshark filters out of the box:

ip && port==1234 {print size, time}

Graphviz includes a tool "gvpr" which essentially implements this idea for processing graphs but of course, they end up reimplementing a large part of awk.
Yes, but fundamentally the kernel's inability to handle exceptional cases is all in deference to performance. Non-performance-critical sections, which in a fair analysis would be 99.9% of the kernel at least, should be written in a language and style that provides structured unwinding, not just jumping to the error case and whoops I accidentally jumped beyond all the unlocks and reference count decrements and deallocations. That's the issue.
The road to NRK’s private Terraform registry
You wouldn't allow code that aborts without cleanup in these areas of the kernel, or in the kernel at all.

You can't make a similar rule against null dereferences, because those happen by accident. (Unless you wrap every single pointer dereference, which is not happening.)

If you don't allow aborting, then the compiler makes you write an error-handling path that returns, and the cleanup code will not be skipped.
I upvoted your unpopular opinion but it doesn't have to be that way.

You can be involved in the community and get to know local organizations and how they run, then give to them with more certainty.

In our case, the bulk of our charitable donations goes to organizations we know first hand, which are mainly local. Eg: helping the local preschool, our houses of worship, etc. The most 'remote' org we give to is the Israeli ambulance corps, but we still "know" them in the sense that my wife had been a volunteer EMT there a long time ago.

Point being that - there's some positive synergy between your physical community involvement and your "insight" into how organizations in your community function, and a sense of how the money is spent.

The fact that one of these orgs got something like $400 via Amazon Smile from us last year is nice although let's be real - nobody is going to stop using Amazon because of this change.
This sort of thing is why I have zero interest in developing for iOS. At least if Google Play rejects my app for some boneheaded reason it's usually easy to sideload it, and obviously the same goes for just about every desktop or laptop out there.
> Perhaps Google would voluntarily turn over the info without a search warrant

Not in general in this scenario. Google has made exceptions in the past (generally around an emergency with threat to life involved), but they're reluctant to make such exceptions for even federal LEO. State-level LEO, which is who would be making these requests, has far less leverage over Google; they could make it harder for Google to do business in their state, but (a) the states we're talking about are doing that already, so Google cares less about a lever that's already being pulled and (b) the states don't have higher authority to appeal to (what are they gonna do, try to make a Supreme Court case out of noncompliance with... A warrantless data request?).

Price increases are taxed as well (eventually), do you also remove them?
> Put another way, since 1928 dividends plus inflation accounted for 99.7% of the nominal wealth produced, as of 2008, by investing in stocks.

This would imply that the average investor will generate wealth by investing in equities that pay dividends...in other words profitable companies...

Fortran has subroutines and functions. Functions can take multiple arguments and return a single value (however arguments can also be modified). Subroutines can take multiple arguments, which can be inputs, outputs, or both (arguments can be declared inputs or outputs, but it's not required) and don't return a value. And then there's common blocks for sharing variables between subroutines...
There is no US federal budget - not a binding one at any rate. The president recommends and Congress passes budgets for internal purposes, but they do not carry the force of law. The numbers that matter are how much Congress appropriates, and if Congress appropriates $X dollars for something the executive branch is expected to spend it, not second guess Congress and say we really didn't want to spend that money.
> Presidents don’t pass budgets.

No, they propose, sign, use the veto threat to shape the legislative process on, and use various administrative powers and means to rearrange the actual spending resulting from them, but “passing” budgets is the name for a step in the middle of the process done by someone else.

Not sure what your point is; the President is by a very wide margin the single most powerful actor in the shaping of both nominal budgets and actual federal spending.
I haven't tried it yet, but this is exactly how I've always wanted to have playlists generated, so I'm looking forward to trying it! Auto-generated playlists are sometimes great, but IMO they often miss the mark of what I wanted or why I like a particular song. So I think this kind of playlist generation could help solve this, especially if the playlist can be refined after initial generation.
For modern computing/finance type of people (I was but now have reformed) the lack of financial data is a problem. Even if you can get access to every trade, which is hard, the amount of data is not what modern machine learning types require.

Thr EMH is a hard mistress too. There is no amount of data that can help you solve unsolvable equations.

So alot fall into this trap, synthetic data. Some of the best statisticians on the planet have. It is so tempting to believe that there is money to be made by being cleaver trader I markets.

General, there is not. Buy and hold is not a shibolith it is a strategy. It is the only strategy that can be replicated.

Synthesizing data to disprove buy and hold is wishful thinking. Data snooping.
> practically infinite storage, infinitely more accurate recall

You can already hold all of humanity's written cultural knowledge on a thumbnail-sized drive. Recall is pretty accurate, too.

> revolutionizing humanity

Tell that anyone who lived 100 or 1000 years ago. World-wide instant communication. A cultural species of interconnected thought, a network the size of a planet. Augmented with tools of perfect memory recall, error-free precision calculations, way beyond what an unaugmented human brain can do. Welcome to the present. We even got remote-controlled robots working for us on other planets.

I'll keep my ad-blocker enabled, though. But allow me to think of it as a brain augmentation. We do what we always did: cultural evolution. We are creating tools to augment ourselves, not machines that are independent from us. As we integrate those tools into our daily routine, the tools are shaping our practice and needs. So we again create different tools, or ways of living. We diversify, then copy the successful. What's the point of creating a new god of intelligence? We have plenty of gods already. Let's maybe study and discuss non-human intelligence instead. (Edit: rewrote last paragraph.)

We just just shipped OPFS and what-wg/fs assuming WebAssembly was the highest concern, and assuming async interoperations were hard & slow. Rather than build a regular modern async browser api, we rebuilt these to be sync, for wasm.

And now, it feels lile those assumptions around building a special case uniquely shaped api are gone, on the way out, and we're left with a weird mismatching api released in the brief weird window where this was a valid concern to justify doing everything funkily.

There's an outstanding ticket in whatwg/fs for going back and adding an async api, which perhaps maybe some day some champion dev at some browser will step in & pick up this reformation. Assuming this work to smooth wasm's use of the web platform goes well, which I hope- for many reasons- it does.
This is a great project! I tried with a complex prompt including lyrics quality and language and it worked perfectly! I'm really amazed.
