Gut reaction: If UPenn's law students can't handle one non-PC professor, then they have no chance of handling ~1/3 of real-world lawyer jobs.

Next up: UPenn medical students refuse to enter rooms containing diseased patients.

EDIT: Make that "no chance of handling ~2/3 or more of real-world lawyer jobs". I asked a nice little old lady lawyer I happen to know; her practice generally goes nowhere near criminal law, divorces, high-stakes corporate stuff, or other cases which might get human emotions really worked up. Yet an amazing number of people feel compelled to share their utterly-non-PC ideas about how the world works with her...
On my machine, when I last tried the various accelerated terminal emulators, I wasn't convinced. At least under plain X, GL context creation adds extra latency when creating new windows (might be different if you use a compositor all the time I guess). In addition, on terminals such as kitty, the startup time of a full new process was really non-negligible I suspect due to the python support.

With a tiling window manager, the built-in notebook/tiling functionality is not really useful (the window manager is more flexible and has universal keybindings) so when looking at the time required to pop a full new window in either single or shared instance they were actually behind regular xterm. Resource usage wasn't stellar either (xterm was still better than most lightweight libvt-based terminals). Couldn't feel much of a latency improvement (again, X without compositor).

I'm sure at full throughput the difference is there, but who is looking at pages of output you can't read? I do keep terminals open for days, but my most common usage case is mostly open window -> run a small session -> close and I got annoyed fast.
Fidelity does this if I understand correctly.
Really, I expect more friction from faculty than students. Most professors I know would not be too happy having to give oral exams personally, that's a lot of extra time.

But I think there's an opportunity to integrate an "interview" component in projects, which would also help students when they go look for jobs. Going to be tough to make it fair for all students, but after accommodations it should be easy to determine which students actually did/understand the work.
Just for 2023, though. They're still planning to take delivery of 100k by 2030.

I don't think we know the unit cost of a Rivian EDV, but at $100k per vehicle, 10,000 vans is a $1 billion order.
> Claire says her father has told her he may be her father, but he’s also her boss.

This sounds super-scummy. I'm not surprised she's pissed-off. Both parents quit working? And if Claire doesn't perform, they'll lose their home and she won't be able to "have nice things"? Talk about emotional blackmail.
To fully grok things, the context of the thread is a person so unhappy with a JPLAY[1] beta that they roll their own command-line audio player with the single-minded goal of eliminating all possible forms of latency. (Upthread they talk about dropping to assembly; further down the thread someone suggests avoiding using the CPU altogether.)

JPLAY is the kind of thing that offers, among its features, the ability to use a dedicated PC (ideally running Windows Server) for playback.[2] This includes selling their own SSDs "selected for their sound properties" and "Reference SATA cables to ensure absolute best sound quality", and playback-optimized USB cards and denoisers, network adapters and power supplies.[3] The best examples are the 375€ "USB Isolator", which "blocks all noise coming from a PC and re-generates clean USB signal from a (sic) scratch resulting in vast sound quality improvements"[4] and their
12,000€ 4TB server featuring "the only...motherboard designed exclusively for high-end audio playback" that avoids the common pitfalls of worse "office work and gaming" motherboards that "pollute other hi-fi components and contribute to irritating 'digital' sound". Its signature review, pulled out in the product page, says it's indistinguishable from an analog recording - the highest of high praise.[5]

The poster in the linked thread was like, nah, they suck, this sounds awful, but THIS is obviously better. And look how easy it was to do! These C++ developers are all idiots.

The difference between a rorsach test and a tarot reading is that rorsach tests aren't bound up with the idea that they can tell you the future.

How can you ethically give a tarot reading knowing that X% will understand it as a prediction of their future?

FWIW the Windows Terminal also natively supports panes & tabs for multiplexing: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/panes

I don't read Twitter.

I'm being perfectly simple and honest, here is the a legal definition of 'bailout', which is closest to the context we're all using:

"A bailout is when the government gives financial support to rescue a company that is in financial trouble and possibly at risk for bankruptcy. The bailout enables the survival of the company." [1]

The government is not giving financial support to rescue SVB. SVB's dead. The government is not giving money to depositors. The money comes from the bank's assets. Current estimates are showing that assets will cover over 100% of deposits. Let's say that SVB's assets don't cover 100%. In that case, the government is still not bailing out depositors. The banks themselves will pay through a special assessment. In 2009, that was about 5 basis points of deposits. 5 cents on $100 seems like a pretty good deal, all things considered.

This is a pretty absurd comparison. A delivery truck vs a Semi, totally different markets.

> The best economics for electric vehciles were always going to be light and medium vehicles with high utilisation.

A point-to-point delivery company can use the Semi at high utilization.

> Not heavy vehicles sensitive to weight and power.

Semi addresses a huge part of the overall trucking market.

Ask HN: Sound-related project suggestions for learning Rust?
I'm looking to start a pet project in Rust, as a means to learn the language. I was thinking something related to sound processing.

Do you think this is a good idea? The goal is to learn the language while also learning something about sound processing (e.g. noise cancellation module for PulseAudio).

Of course, other suggestions unrelated to sound are also appreciated.

I wish these internal behaviors of macOS were documented somewhere. A lot of these security features are pretty neat, but developers have to use trial and error to figure out how they work.

If something doesn't work, we have to wonder if it is by design or by accident, and the only way to know is to use a tech support incident, hope it gets escalated to the right person, and see if you get an answer.

I deally we'd have something like freight rail to larger cities and then smaller delivery vehicles from there.

> Not personal cars.

I agree. EVs (I own one they're cool) are additive solutions (more is better) and we need subtractive solutions to solve many social and economic problems (i.e. reduction in vehicle-based economic activity by using sidewalks). Probably more participatory economic activity too anyway. It's a lot easier to start a cafe than start a car company.
Nah I love for undocumented kids to simply starve when their family hasn't enough money and no safety net since they are "illegal."

Put these kids out of work, I'm sure they'll be better off with no money for necessities!

In seriousness, the way to reduce child labor is to give all children better options. Outlawing child labor has the effect of cutting off support for those who apparently might have had little other choice.
This happens far more often than you may want to believe. Either it's explicitly requested or it's somewhere in the recruiter notes.

I would disagree - American citizens have no control over what the Democrats or Republicans say or do. You only have two parties to choose from, and you only choose locally.

Indeed there are folks who support it like how they support Team Red or Team Blue, but if you go out on the street Billy The Kid style, I doubt many of them would want kids working in such terrible conditions.
> mass inflows of deposits are exactly how SVB got into the situation it's in now

It gave them the opportunity to make the mistakes they made. It didn't cause them. If you have more deposits than you can responsibly invest, you cut your rates until you can.

I don't want to live in a world where I have to track down and personally inspect the factories and farms that produce my food.

If I deposit cash at a member bank that the government says is compliant with their rules and regulations, that should not imply any risk taking on my side.

If I use a payroll provider like rippling that uses SVB as their payment rails, I shouldn't have to worry about that.

If I use a service that goes under because they can't fund payroll because of a banking supply chain issue, that seems rather hard to due diligence.

If you honestly hold that position, I suggest you get a little bit of empathy for decision-makers. It will make you a better member of society.

The way insurance works is that you pay a premium so you don’t need to worry about a risk, whether or not disaster happens to you personally. The timing is a bit irregular, but morally it seems similar?

> Audio is hard. Your ears are weird.

Basically this.

In the interest of disclosure, for my senior project in college (a full-year capstone project), I was on a team of students that built an analysis rig for a company that made club/venue/stadium sized speakers. Our rig reduced analysis time from 3 days to about an hour or so. However, that was just one piece of the puzzle, as the "room" also had a massive impact on sound.

That company's "demo room" was amazing. It was the first floor of an old mill building with speakers on one end of the room, and furniture at the other. At least 100-200ft if distance. It was acoustically treated, but not overmuch since one of the goals was to demonstrate the room adjustment capability. Several 5000W amps powered the whole thing, and the audio quality was amazing. It felt and sounded like listening to headphones at a moderately high volume, but when you tried to speak to the person next to you, you could barely hear your own voice.

I'm sorry, what?
You probably don't hear much from people who are happy with their heat pumps, because it's boring when it just works.

But, the competence required for heat pump sizing depends on the local climate. If you need more heat than the outside unit can gather, you're stuck with fallback heat, which is usually resistance strips, which is expensive. Some thermostats will call for the fallback heat anytime the requested temperature is 2-3 degrees F above the measured indoor temperature; if you've got a thermostat like that, you've got to be careful how you adjust it, and HVAC installers don't always explain that in ways that the users understand. Lots of people want it a few degrees colder when they're sleeping, but setting that up in the most straightforward way leads to resistance heating in the morning.

You're going to tend to want to windows of conditioned spaces closed, otherwise you're sending your heating budget out of the windows. Heat pumps are usually setup so you can directly regulate the temperature as desired, rather than boilers where it gets so hot that you need to open the windows to balance. If you want to run it with the windows open, you'd need more capacity, and you'd really need to convince your HVAC person. It probably makes more sense to look into a heat recovery ventilation system, which gets fresh air in without losing as much of the heat (or gaining as much heat if you're cooling). This is probably a norms thing.

Insulation helps reduce heating / cooling costs for sure, but if your home is less insulated than the norm, you just need a larger capacity system. That's another place where installer competence comes in. Actually measuring airflow and calculating requirements is unfortunately not very standard, there's a lot of rules of thumb or replacing with similar size units or the neighbor has X so use that. Again, this is workable in mild climates, but if you've got outside temperatures much below freezing, you need a competent installer, as capacity goes down quite a bit as the temperatures go down, and that's also when you need it the most. And, just insulating the heck out of an old home that was built to be drafty can cause issues with retained moisture and mold; it needs to be done carefully and appropriately.
They could make an estimate based on the age and size of the house. Build in a profit margin.
My hats off to you for doing a DIY install. This is not a bad route to go if you enjoy/feel comfortable doing the work and don't care about air quality, smart thermostat integration, etc. Re contractors, we will have local contractor partners do the install and handle servicing, so you won't be left with an unserviceable system.
> It’s a common misconception that Amish communities entirely shun electricity and technology.

I have no direct evidence, but I've watched & read things explaining this in a way that makes much more sense, including this use of ebikes.

The Amish shun things that break their ideal society. They choose to have a single phone in a public place to encourage familial and closely knit interactions only. They avoid cars because cars encourage long distance interactions over local ones. They choose to have a computer for running their business that is not used for entertainment, to encourage closely knit interactions. They choose to not have a fridge so the family gathers for meals at specific times, and you can't just raid the fridge on your own.

The technological restrictions are means to an end, not the end goal.
It's literally in the name. Capital-ism. I'm not sure how it could be clearer. It'd be weird if a system so-named didn't favor capital owners.
Why would I go with you versus a Mitsubishi heat pump system that has years worth of supply chain, installers, trained techs, etc. behind them?

I have a friend who bought a pair of magneplanar speakers which he then sold because he could hear the pianists fingernails hitting the keys in one of the pieces. I think he decided there was such a thing as too much fidelity.
I guess it's not serious in this case, as streaming audio is not very CPU-intensive, BUT I noticed that when I trained my ML model (basically 100% GPU usage) I could hear a noise in my M40Xs. I guess it's some MOBO/GPU insulation issue.
Memcpy doesn't allocate stuff on the heap. Memcpy also doesn't care about whether you're copying to/from heap or stack memory (or a memory mapped file, or a memory mapped camera buffer); memory is memory.

If the computer isn't able to keep up with the playback, you would probably get extremely obvious sharp clicks, very far from "the sound has a slightly 'hard edge'".

New and malloc are identical. Neither one will initialize any of the data. You also wouldn't call either in a loop; you would allocate a buffer once and then copy data into that buffer. You can see this in the code they posted:

BYTE *sound_buffer = new BYTE [sizeof(BYTE) * nBytesInFile];
hr = mmioRead(hFile, (HPSTR)sound_buffer, nBytesInFile);

That's the only memory allocation in the whole piece of code they posted. They're talking about the audio quality difference between playing audio from a single big buffer allocated by new vs playing from a single big buffer allocated by malloc.

> Creating a non-cloud capable system is dumb.

For a system that absolutely doesn’t need a “cloud” to operate?

But this is my second concern.

First is availability of replacement parts after the get bought out and they shut off the servers.
Consider it is as a competitive advantage.

An API that is public, well-documented, and easy for other systems to securely integrate with would mean that customers get the integration they want. If someone builds a better way to utilize your system, then you just got value-add on your product at basically zero cost.

Amazon can hook Alexa into it. Google can hook their Home thing into it. And whatever comes next, whatever doesn't even exist today, should have an easy time integrating, continuing to add value.
How did you replace your radiators? Did you have to install ducts, or did you find a cost-effective way to have a heat pump heat the water for your radiator system?

Good ways to upgrade homes that use radiators to use heat pump heating seems like a big gap in the market right now (though, not sure if this is just a market problem or a gap in the technology, since my understanding is that radiators need higher temperatures than forced air systems).
Well, that just makes it worse! OP strongly implies that there is no good variable-speed solution, but if the industry already has an assortment of products, what exactly are they even selling?!

Grandparents have shared photos of their relatives, just usually through wallet photos in the past, email maybe later - so it probably feels like a small delta on that. Probably doesn’t help more of their lives are spent online than in person now.
