I wonder if transfer encoding the archive might be a better strategy. The client benefits from a stable format (tar) provided it’s generated in a stable order which generally easier for the server to guarantee. The network transfer occurs transparently compressed (transfer-encoding header in http parlance).

Checksums still work and protect against malicious tarballs which are generally riskier to unpack than plain steam compression / decompression. The server and client gets the smaller file transfers and compression improvements can evolve transparently by negotiating the transfer encoding. The server can still cache the encoded form to avoid needing to compress the same file repeatedly.

Seems like a win win solution without requesting a drastic redesign of package managers everywhere and everyone walks away having won the properties of the system they value.
Sure, again it really only matters if the search engine can filter the stuff we don't want to see, and show the stuff we want to see. If they can do that, we don't have a problem. It's the same as it was.

If they can't do it, we have a problem.

I guess there's the additional problem of bots posting comments everywhere, but that's really just a problem for social media sites and so I'm fairly unsympathetic.

People do spend a lot of their time these days on social media, but that's a new phenomenon, and I doubt it will last, so I don't think the future web is ruined.
Alas it doesn’t really help - new is just as bad as malloc, and the fact that there is no difference syntactically or in the type system between a pointer to an object and a pointer to an array means that c++s new introduces the joy of calling the wrong delete \o/
I need to pay more attention; the anti-HN post edits happened often enough I assumed there was a broader trend beyond a single author.
Interesting, I tried a few songs and artist combinations:

I picked a Three 6 Mafia song I used to listen to in my younger years, the particular song I chose has everything in the soundtrack from high hats, to trumpets, several rappers with varying styles of exerting their voices, and a lot of the resultant songs have either high hats or similar sounding trumpets, or similar sounding drums, and in other cases, something about how the artists rap reminds me slightly of Three 6 Mafia's own style. I don't recognize any of the artists suggested, which is a good thing, it basically did what it was supposed to.

Next I picked a song by Bullet For My Valentine, not all the songs are quite nu-metal but that's because the song I chose isn't typical nu-metal (or whatever genre they were...) unlike some other metal bands they dont spend the whole song screaming, they actually do normal singing, so it picked up what to me sound like old school metal bands like Dio, Iron Maiden and so on... So it picks up on how some parts of the song are, which can get you mixed results, so if you want to find a similar artist down to the musical style, pick the most "metal" song you can find by them. This isn't an issue for me since I like some of those artists too, but I would rather get more bands that are more like Bullet For My Valentine, though it seemingly did catch one or two I had not heard of before.

Also tried another metal band Killswitch Engage with the song "My Curse" and it recommended another Killswitch Engage song titled "For You" which honestly, is weirdly close in style and I never noticed that before. Again this one's another metal band, I just wanted to see how it would do.

Lastly, I tried a Spanish reggaeton song, and I was not disappointed. You really did a hell of a job on this.

My only wish is that Apple would hire you / buy out your efforts because I wish this was part of Apple Music, their "suggested music" is awful, and the genre discovery type of thing doesn't always yield artists I remotely care for, I feel more inclined to listen to some of the suggested songs but it sucks you can only give samples and link to the song directly, if you could generate playlists from the results it would be good, this isn't a you issue, its moreso an Apple limitation.
Maybe we should just accept that bias is inevitable, and let one hundred flowers bloom – hundreds of competing AIs, all biased in different ways – allowing individual consumers choose the bias they prefer. This is just a temporary situation caused by this being a very new technology, with high entry costs, and still only one real player in the market. That will all change – one day, we'll each have our own personal ChatGPT-equivalent, personally trained to reflect our own personal biases.

It is like media – all media is biased, but there are so many different media outlets (especially online), biased in so many different ways, almost certainly you can find some whose bias appeals to you.
> Your AI is processing the tempo and beat of the music,

I don’t know about that, I tried a number of songs with 3/4 and 6/8 measure, and none of the suggestions were, so it doesn’t seem to pick up on that.
Because they don't exist. Cops that intervene wind up ostracized by the rest of the force.

Until more cops are more afraid of winding up like Chauvin and landing in an actual jail than they are afraid of other police, this will not change.

Uh no. Producing a good tone on violin takes months to start getting right. Holding the bow right even for open strings is nontrivial.

Not saying a good robot violinist is impossible. It will happen in our lifetimes, even though I’m old. And I do like your concept of an objective player. But this is not in the “shouldn’t be too hard” category.
> Hidden at the bottom of the US policing problem

Actually, it turns out, I grew up in Memphis. Was thrilled leave. Went back for 18 months at FedEx, wrote software to schedule the fleet, etc. then went to grad school and again was thrilled to leave.

I wanted to leave out that recent Memphis police stuff and possible main reasons of just why.

But since YOU brought up the issue, as I recall there are some forms of rather strict segregation in Memphis. Sooo, housing neighborhoods are (were) segregated. How? Nearly all the houses are under a tricky contract in an organization, maybe an actual corporation. I don't have the details just right but do have the important point right: All house purchases have to be approved by the relevant organization. So, wonder of wonders, presto, bingo, housing is segregated. Next, the K-12 schools are neighborhood schools. Again, wonders of wonders, presto, bingo, ....

Then, let me guess: Policing is organized by neighborhoods and, again, presto, bingo. Now, with that background, two tiny baby steps in real political politics can explain much of the recent situation.

For a little more, when I was there, Dad, who knew a lot about education, looked for a house with good schools and, then, bought a house in a neighborhood with the best elementary through high school in the city. Yup, as a 1-12 it was relatively good! It was flatly, bluntly, intentionally, strongly a college prep school: The architecture had tall Greek style columns and was a big U with in the middle some walks in a geometric pattern borrowed from, maybe, some French chateaux. 97% of the students went on to college. MIT came recruiting. The year before me, three students went to Princeton and two of them ran against some third student from somewhere for President of the Freshman Class.

Some years later, after some, call them riots, the college prep school(s) moved 15 miles or so east, and the school I went to had courses not there when I was, e.g., "cosmetology".

Soooo, in simple, crude, blunt terms, it appears that the powers that be decided that there are two parts to Memphis, Black and White. The Whites have nearly all the money and power (but maybe not a majority!). The Blacks have their own areas and neighborhoods, and there the Blacks are free to have their own lives and problems and their own police run however they want.

The Whites? They don't have problems with the police.

After I left Memphis and FedEx, I haven't been back and don't want to go back. Maybe the best thing I got from Memphis was a taste for their chopped picnic pork shoulder BBQ and do a version of that myself.

The first `#` line in each file is the path where that file should go.

Use ~/src/non-oss-container/build.sh to build the container image and ~/.local/bin/steam to run a Steam container using that image.

The Steam container-specific homedir will be ~/non-oss-root/steam

The default COMMAND runs Steam with the built-in web browser disabled. I don't use it so I keep it disabled, except that you can't uninstall games from the default view if the web browser is disabled. Launch Big Picture View and uninstall from there.

The X socket is mounted from the host, so if you're worried about malicious programs intercepting your other X windows or input devices, then this level of sandboxing will not help. (I don't care because I use a wayland compositor and run nothing of importance in Xwayland.) In this case you may want to consider running a nested X server like xephyr and mounting its socket in the container instead.

Ask HN: Creative ways to “encode” data in art
I'm looking for ways to encode data in art.

The total data I'm looking to encode is anywhere from 8bytes to 64bytes.

The medium I'm interested in is a skin, a tattoo -- so the line quality may change overtime.

Any creative ways of doing this are greatly appreciated, I'm not too artistic, and I'm totally out of ideas.
I used to perform a lot of mental arithmetic when I was kid and even read some books about different techniques (Vedic mathematics, Trachtenberg system, etc.). I don't remember the specific techniques from the books these days. Since I can also do multiplication and division in my head, I simply figure out which two consecutive integers when squared bound the number of interest. I then divide the difference between the number of interest and the lower integer by the sum of the two integers and add that fraction to the lower integer to get the square root. For example, if we want to calculate the square root of 1051, I know that 32^2 is 1024 and 33^2 is 1089. Then, 1051^0.5 = 32 + (1051-1024)/(32+33) = 32 + (27/65) ~ 32 + (26/65) + (1/65) ~ 32 + 0.4 + 0.02 ~ 32.42. The square of 32.42 is actually 1051.0564, so that's pretty close.

It is a living field, of course, but I do think there are certain texts that we know we would include from Turing, Von Neumann, Goedel, Church, Shannon, Backus, Hoare, Dijkstra, and I guess something about Perceptrons is now mandatory but IDK what text I'd choose. Beyond those texts things become hazier, but that's already at least a semester of undergraduate reading.

> Also the point of reading Euclid is not really to learn geometry but rather to investigate and examine the oldest, most primordial expression of the idea that math should be formalized using a few axioms.

Yeah, Euclid is important. It should be studied carefully in any Great Books program. But there's a lot of other important stuff to talk about and the extreme emphasis on Euclidean constructions is IMO a bit of a shibboleth.
That's what ChatGPT had to say about this :

> it was tough to piece together the engine from the examples and Rust docs. Would have been untenable without a third-party tutorial.

This is the problem with using a non C/C++ language for any high-end graphics programming--you step out of the mainline social ecosystem.

Consequently, when you need help, you're hosed. As I much as I like Rust, Zig, etc., I would never recommend using them for modern graphics programming unless you have masochistic tendencies.
Libc++ for example is doing just that, it was on HN a while back and generated many many complaints.

It doesn’t help though that there’s no way to distinguish a pointer from an array, nor get the length of an array (because you aren’t guaranteed an array is a c++ array with a prefix header or a c style array with a separate size), and given a lot of c++ is still pointers - for example the semantics of iterators makes it hard to be both bounds safe and fast, which means c++ iterators can easily go out of bounds or into random memory in the face of mutation. Now obviously we generally agree mutating something while iterating it is bad, but the c++ iterators semantics makes detecting and stopping that extremely expensive because it’s fundamentally designed around reusing old code that was just incrementing pointers.

> On Thursday, the company posted its fourth consecutive decline in profit as it grapples with a slowdown in digital advertising.

Layoffs as a means of cost reduction to stem the tide seems very rational.
I think there are a few things behind this:

1. price. Carbon fiber is a lot more expensive than aluminum

2. The wings are the parts that need the most strength, and where the flexibility of design helps the most.

3. Making a giant tube of aluminum is a lot easier than with carbon fiber, but the complex shape of a wing evens the cost more

4. Carbon fiber advantages shrink with larger aircraft since making the ovens for really big carbon fiber parts is ridiculously expensive. I wouldn't be surprised if smaller planes go to all carbon fiber before bigger ones.
I don't think that's a keen analogy at all. We don't currently have chainmail. s/Google search/gmail spam filtering/youtube suggested algorithm is a dike holding back an ocean of shit. I'm not sure how to make an armor analogy, so let's just say it's really good armor.

Also assuming you meant 1.4T=Alphabet, I cannot go along with your pretending that the 1.4 trillion dollar cap is a function of PageRank, nor can I pretend that it's remotely related to whether they can continue providing good results post-chatGPT.

Looks like a good scenario for ClickHouse.

One option is to just record all the measurements with the corresponding time.
Something like a table with:

sensor_id, time, value

To align and correlate the measurements, simply round down the time to some bucket. Do something like

SELECT toStartOfMinute(time) AS t, anyIf(value, sensor_id = 'X'), anyIf(value, sensor_id = 'Y')
FROM measurements
WHERE sensor_id IN ('X', 'Y')
GROUP BY t
ORDER BY t

According to Zuckerberg himself the story was censored for a week (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62688532). Meanwhile, Twitter banned any sharing of the article and the entire New York Post's account for 16 days. The US anti-war movement was explicitly, objectively supported by the Soviets at a time when they were a likely nuclear threat to the United States and the rest of the Western world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_influence_on_the_peace_...). That doesn't mean it's acceptable to go and ban anti-war rallies, or rallies that "look like" them and claim it's okay because you only did so for a few weeks so it's all fine.

Regardless, the issue here is less about partisan social media censorship and more to do with journalists, who Wikipedia relies on to provide factual reporting of all significant news, showing how readily they would support censorship and ignoring a story based on its political impact.
