Sure, performance isn't going to get better, but for websockets and server sent events the occasional long-lived async task can be great. Especially when you need to poll something, or check in on a subprocess.
Who Wants the Caliphate? (2020)
I’m under no illusion that upper middle class want to actually effect change. Upper middle class whites are content to put BLM signs in their yards so long as “they” don’t move into their neighborhoods.

I think though that one should not discount racial politics and media bias as a major contributing factor to why so many poor whites vote against their economic interests. I think LBJ had it right with his quote:

I like how Faulkner put it: In the South they love the man and hate the race and in the North they love the race and hate the man. Desegregation lead to closed pool politics and helped with the decline of union membership. There is definitely an aspect of spite within white politics. To wit: let’s all suffer to keep an undeserving minority from getting something.

> Using PCR tests to evaluate clearance doesn't make sense though, since they can be positive if there are fragments but no viable virus.

It's a cost and time issue. The cost of filtering snot, inoculating a culture dish of infectable cells with the filtered snot, waiting a couple of days for the cells to show signs of infection (cell swelling or bursting), and then running a PCR test on the cells in the culture dish. With high enough throughput you could probably do this for $50 or there about, and maybe three days, to verify whether they were technically still infected three days ago.
the Arch Wiki is gonna be your best bet here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ECryptfs

if you can make a /etc/fstab entry for your filesystem, then you can configure pam_mount using the same options as the fstab entry and it should work.

for the actual encrypted filestore, i’m using gocryptfs. it’s a more actively developed alternative to eCryptfs: mostly a drop-in replacement. there’s a lot of options here: dm-crypt over a dedicated partition is probably what a cryptographer would recommend, everything else is making tradeoffs (e.g. leaking metadata like file size/directory entry count) for better UX elsewhere. read the wiki to pick the best for your needs :)

I don't "know" any of my passwords anymore!

First it was "use complex passwords" so passwords got harder to remember, but it was doable. Then it was "don't reuse your passwords" and I'd made a good show of it by dreaming up 3-4 distinct passwords that I rotated in different services. Then I started managing my accounts in an app because I had too many to manually/mentally track. Then it was "use a password manager" and so as I transitioned to the password manager, I had it generate very strong random passwords that I had no hope of remembering, much less typing in manually.

So I don't remember any passwords anymore and I couldn't remember them if I tried. I couldn't even type them (although I could transition to a "correct horse battery staple" method instead.) And I'm beholden to my password manager, plus my Yubikeys plus my phone plus my email, due to disparate mandatory MFA challenges.

Authentication has become really splintered and really complex. It's ridiculous to insist in this day and age that a password is "something you know" unless it's a master password to unlock your vault or your employer's SSO or something. So that ship has sailed, sorry to inform you!

Great idea! The ability to create and easily share custom prompts has a lot of potential for non-developers. But there's no pricing info, ability to add API keys, or create prompts for images. Seems a bit premature to launch on HN.

If you are sending pulses, the pulses will get further apart as you accelerate away and shorter as you slow down. This will cause your clocks to desynchronize and you’ll find that a different amount of time has passed for you than your own clock. This is called relativity. You can say that your flashing clock is The One True Clock and if everything in the universe agrees with you, then I suppose it’s true. But one persons clock won’t be flashing at the same speed as another ones. This includes earth where one season we will be moving away (slower) and another we will be getting closer (speeding up). That’s be pretty annoying.

> If the era of cheap money is truly at an end

It’s important to remember the economy is cyclical. We’re in a funding drought. Probably for another year or so.

We’re at one extreme at the moment. Things will eventually move back to usual once interest rates come down. I’d say in about a year.

A lot of VC activity relies on using borrowed money. It’s very similar to how no one wants to buy a house right now because rates are too high, the same thing is causing investors to leverage their assets much less.

Once interest rates move back to normal levels things will pick up again.

As a Musician, I'll be more interested in style transfer: You give it a snare (or a multitrack drum loop !), and you tell it to generate a related hit-hat (or a complete kit !)

There is no shortage of samples and sample packs (millions), and most pros are picky : context in king, and style transfer is more contextual.

For instruments/synths/vox, "playability" is important, so the best approach IMO is cloning a sample to playable Midi instrument like midi-ddsp, midi2params or Mawf

My simple advice... Your attitude is everything. Be open to learning and doing anything that needs to be done. Be a team player. Offer to help team mates. There is no time for that perfect solution. Always think big picture before digging into details. Find the one guy on the team that knows pretty much everything about the product/code and study his ways.

I drink maybe 4 drinks total a month. I get where you're going with that though. There is actually data out there on smoking, and having a cigar once in a while isn't really more unsafe than sitting by the camp fire. Your body also recovers itself in most regards rather quickly after chronic smoking (months). I'm not a smoker, and it's better not to smoke because it's super addictive, but having a smoke is like having a drink, not unsafe per say. I'm more worried about sugar than alcohol.

Right out of the gate they mention that the first approach listed doesn't clone Symbol...and then they treat this as a flaw.

I haven't used Symbol in JS much, but I was under the impression that it's _supposed_ to be a sorta "interned" value (in the sense that there exists exactly one instance in existence of each Symbol value)...which would mean that cloning them isn't a concept that makes sense.

My loose awareness of this particular JS type is leaving me quite un-confident in this understanding though, so I'd love for someone to correct me where I'm wrong so I can learn more!

Your commentary here and in your post above has been incredibly insightful.

Your explanations gave much further context to what was likely happening in that ordinance that gave those men such concern. Thanks!

> "This kind of artificial intelligence we're talking about right now can sometimes lead to something we call hallucination," Prabhakar Raghavan, ... Google, ... told Germany's Welt [...] One of the fundamental tasks, he added, was keeping this to a minimum

The big question is how will you minimize hallucination and how you will implement "reliability" in the old architecture.
How does the man page's "size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);" disagree with the GP's "fread(buf, size_of_item, number_of_items, file_ptr)"? Both seem to support that "fread(buf, N-1, 1, f);" is "telling it to read one item of size N-1".
> How do you avoid being envious of "legit" individuals (i.e those who achieved greater success coming from far adverse situations

and, unexplained, why wouldn't you still be envious of people who had all the advantages you didn't? It comes off a bit more like sour grapes.

Envy is a natural base human emotion, that's why it was put in the 10 commandments 6 or more thousand years ago. Don't deny you have it, we all do, acknowledge it for what it is, and use it to stimulate yourself to strive harder/better, or give up on what is unattainable and move on to more satisfying goals.

And btw, there are exceptionally good students just like there are exceptionally good athletes, without regard to their background. People, including lousy athletes, applaud good athletes.

> I wonder, is it because the model is trying to produce the most song-ish song that makes it mediocre?

I think there’s a simpler explanation. Good creative work needs an element of intelligently targeted unpredictability. It’s mayhaps not the best idea to ask a prediction model about that.

I don’t get how it took people so long to figure this out. In the first week, I was trying to get it to write a story in the style of Dostoyevsky, and it just couldn’t. I’d ask it to be more wavering, to break the rules, but it did a shallow interpretation of that too. Every story was wrapped up in a “then everyone became friends and were happy”-style.

However, when writing a corporate HR letter threatening employees to discuss the CEOs inappropriate behavior at the holiday party, as well as writing an inspirational LinkedIn post, it was indistinguishable from the real deal, on first try.

It seems rude to die intestate, without organizing any of this stuff or having help in that regard and to just offload the burden onto the (very elderly) next of kin and executor.

Personally I believe it's a human duty to be prepared for our own death. We should provide for the circumstances that will result after we are incapacitated or dead, and we should consider the burdens taken on by our friends and family, and ways to ease their suffering after they have lost a loved one.

I can tell you that even with a will and funeral/burial plans in place for my parents, it will not be easy for me and my sister to transition to life without them.

If you're reaching for deep cloning, your objects are too big. You're passing too much data between functions. The one exception is "actual" data which is (de-)serializable to/from JSON without any special cases (getters, functions, etc). But if it's an object that was programmatically constructed, then it can probably be made smaller.

If your object is "deep" because of real nested dependencies, then you should ask why your user would need to mutate it in the first place. If they want to change its internal structure then this is indicative of a code smell because your object is too big and the user cannot accomplish their goal by calling functions exposed by your API.

There was a phase in the JS ecosystem a few years ago where everything absolutely had to be immutable. This was, IMO, a horrible side effect of react developers optimizing their props for diffing during reconciliation. Libraries like immer and redux produced a lot of this zealotry.

I understand the purism appeal of "immutable everything," and I won't say it has no application, but it has been dogmatically over-applied to the point that you have people googling how to deep clone their config object with a nested function assignment because they're scared of passing a mutable object, and oh my god what if my user mutates it?
