Just want to say thank you! Two of my kids are using scratch regularly (8yo and 6yo). We started using the rpi module and I was surprised how easy it was to start banging out pins to control some motors. The fact that they can use it on a desktop, on a tablet, and it is integrated at school is just fantastic.

I used Lego mindstorms ~15 years ago, and LabVIEW 10+ years ago. Scratch has much clearer concepts and patterns. I always found it difficult to teach students LabVIEW and mostly because of the UI. LabVIEW does have some advantages because of NI, but Scratch is superior IMO.

I'll eventually be transitioning my kids to text languages but there's no replacing the fun they are having with it right now.

Currently we reproduce a lot of apps from Scratch YouTubers. I have been meaning to check out more of the community aspects. Just curious if you have any suggestions on a good way to engage with more Scratch enthusiasts (kids focused).
Possibly the system prompt has helpful and other pleasantries. May need to describe the type of dm at the beginning, with accent of keeping the story on track and making the world dangerous and unforgiving

Oh sorry I didn't know I was arguing with a woke feminist, there is no winning here. However, I'll keep biting. Can you provide a citation for:

> Also, the apparently many cases of women who go denounce a rape and police rape them themselves

Do you have a citation or did you pull it out of the echo chamber subreddit called two x chromosomes?

And I am ready to bet my ass that police brutality against men in India is at least 100x as compared to women. But no, let's talk about the fictional narrative that you want to push.
Not sure why OP didn't link to this, as it appears to be the video version of the feature reel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5aIsgzwNPE

I've been out of gaming and this kind of scene for far too long, but I was amazed by the lights reflecting off the scooter wheel arch. (I don't know if that's new or not, but it's new to me).

Either way, amazing work, best of luck!

Edit to add question:
Is the video linked above rendered / captured in real-time?
There are many many digital tube amp emulations and they are widely used.

But when it comes to music and audio, there's a lot of subjectivity and magical thinking and some people believe that the real thing is better than a digital emulation. Whether they're objectively right is an open question, but they believe it enough for it to be worth spending money on.

There's another aspect to this which is the creative spark itself. If you've ever tried to do something creative, you know it can be really hard to summon the right headspace to get your emotions out into some tangible form. It takes a weird, tenuous mix of confidence and vulnerability to make it happen. It's really easy for that delicate psychological balance to collapse.

I think for a lot of musicians, certain gear has a talismanic ability to help them preserve the mental state they need to create. Now, you could argue that this is all just placebo affect. But in this case, the entire goal is to create a certain mental self-confidence, so the placebo effect is reality. When belief is the point, if you believe it works, it actually does work.

Tube amps are one of those things that helps some people connect with their muse.
Misleading title. Here’s the quote from midjourney: “Due to a combination of extraordinary demand and trial abuse we are temporarily disabling free trials until we have our next improvements to the system deployed”.

- it’s not because of deepfakes, it’s because of extraordinary demand and abuse
The offer could have been $220 plus his kids were given the opportunity to “live another year” by the cartel. You don’t know what other “incentives” existed. Just because someone appears stupid doesn’t mean they are: you lack the relevant facts to judge.
After what they were proposing for 2020, good fucking riddance. They can take their influencers and "high profile celebrity activations" and shove it.

well, the initial twitter rant was pretty bombastic:

"The cat is finally out of the bag – Google relied heavily on @ShareGPT
's data when training Bard.

This was also why we took down ShareGPT's Explore page – which has over 112K shared conversations – last week.

Insanity."

Fine-tunning is not exactly the same as "relying heavily", I bet they got way more fine-tunning data from simply asking their 100k employees to pre-beta test for a couple of months
I think here a more direct competitor to the E3 role would be the "Nintendo Direct" streams or Sony's State of Play.

I built my own Bottlehead Crack tube amp [0] for listening to music with my Sennheiser headphones, and it’s absolutely delightful. It’s add such a nice warm sound. It also works on my Game Boy color to remove the annoying hum that you hear when plugging headphones directly in. Mine uses a 6080 tube, which it looks like Bottlehead has started to run out of.

It’s great to see someone spend time manufacturing things like this for such a niche hobby that’s driven by passion. I wish more companies specialized in these things. I find myself spending too much time weeding through junk on Amazon to support my niche hobbies.

>their hobby fills the space with so much noise

100%.

But the good news is that speakers have never been better or cheaper, and there's more good measurements of speakers out there than ever. For $500 you can get better speakers than you ever could, if you ignore the audiofool noise.

Also the electronics are much better as well. Room calibration makes a huge difference, Dirac and Audyssey are great.

>zero return in fact between 500 and 10,000 dollars

For me, the tipping point is around $2k for speakers.

I aim for measurable accuracy when I'm looking for speakers. I mean, if you don't care about accuracy, then what are you buying?

There are measurable (and audible) differences up until $2k. After that in most cases it's aesthetics, questionable "sound signatures", and ridiculously overpriced and useless stands.

I agree the room should be treated, no matter what speakers you're using.

> the gameplay and mechanics are so so clunky

This is a feature though, it's what makes it unique and great.

I had the exact same impression when I first tried Demon's Souls as it came out around 2010. I knew the game was supposed to be hard, but it felt hard for no reason, as if they had made it clunky just to mess with you.

I ignored the whole souls genre until I finally picked up the remake on the PS5 about a year ago, and it all clicked this time. It's clunky in an effort to be more realistic than many superficially similar games, and that requires you to play it differently too. Your attacks have a wind-up and cool-down period, you got stats preventing you from carrying too much gear and get even clunkier, endurance stopping you from maneuvering like a mad man etc. All these limitations are there to force you to be more strategic with your leveling, equipment, fighting, .. They're very deliberate and not "design problems that make it player-unfriendly".

It's not for everyone, but it's a different experience many clearly find rewarding. And honestly, the games aren't even that hard once you grasp these concepts.

You know nothing about the laws, they were hugely for the benefit for the small farmers. Regardless, it's a lie that police beat up farmers. Yes they did put up barricades to stop them from entering the capital, but nobody was beaten, unless they broke the barricades and attacked the police. The farmers stayed on the border of capital for months, nobody said anything to them. Stop spreading propaganda.

> Further analysis of these 15 reports indicated that a two-hour exposure to blue light (460 nm) in the evening suppresses melatonin, the maximum melatonin-suppressing effect being achieved at the shortest wavelengths (424 nm, violet)

> The melatonin concentration recovered rather rapidly, within 15 min from cessation of the exposure, suggesting a short-term or simultaneous impact of light exposure on the melatonin secretion.
When I think of "free tier API" for Twitter I think of the one you get when you go to the site in a browser. I doubt that one won't go away without some serious loss of userbase.

Well said! I was thinking something along these lines--that there must be some sort of correlation between physical health and mental sharpness. Maybe that's why professors are typically fairly lean.
I confused SIP with SSV! With SSV disabled it's impossible.
Why is it not becoming a thing though? Are ISPs just lazy and IPv4 is good enough for most people?
The article tangentially refers to careerism inside IO as a contributing factor, but doesn't give it the attention it deserves.

If you want to see how destructive careerism can be to an organization, simply spend some time inside the U.S. military – an institution specifically designed to address risk to the United States – but that actually can't handle risk of any sort.

I.O/PSYOPS is a fascinating, critical part of our national defense apparatus, especially Information Age – and we're losing the war.

> Almost all LED bulb failures are because the power supply died due to overheating, not the LEDs themselves.

It's true that the power supply versions are so poorly designed and inefficient that heat is a problem. Design and quality control effort could reduce heat generated by the entire assembly to a fraction of what the socket, fixture, and wiring can sink.

It's more common now to find bulbs that have no power supply at all. They're literally a rectifier made of LED's in series. If the bulb flashes at 2 * mains frequency, that's likely what you have. They die out quickly because the LED strings add up to a maximum voltage a bit over mains voltage, but that's RMS not peak. It's a natural outcome, as using enough LED's to accomodate peak voltage reduces light output by underdriving them, increases obvious flicker from dwell time below minimum voltage, and increases cost.

Hotwired LED strings are cheaper to design, source, assemble, bad parts fail fast more consistently with no effort wasted on quality control, and the market's so flooded and volatile that there's no room for consumer side quality awareness effective enough to make the negative outcomes matter. Power supplies in these bulbs are going away. Ubiquitous 2 * mains frequency strobing, short-lived, hotwired LED bulbs is where the home LED lighting market is taking us.
Very very cool, something I have built personally through a patchwork of scripts, but this looks like it's been executed well.

I would use this today, but I'm concerned about lock-in. Is it possible to export/import data from baseplate?

Try as you might no setting you set in windows seems to stick anymore, that or they actively try to get you to reset it. I have seemingly un-installed so many stub apps, disabled onedrive countless times, mucked with group policy etc. etc. etc.

Try to learn something difficult. Something that you really struggle with and find mentally exhausting. Preferably something useful but it’s not a waste of time to try learn something that you may never use. For example, if you are not naturally talented at math try to fundamentally understand general relativity. Or learn a musical instrument if you are not musical. This may not work for everyone but it works for me. It has reversed the arrow of time for my brain for sure.

Take your time, months or years if you need to. Learn different things at the some time. Mix it all up in there and let it brew while you sleep.
Uhh the guy in this indictment is the president who didn't want to relinquish power before he was charged with crimes. He obviously didn't need to be charged before attempting treason and autocracy.
> Slavery is an extreme form of discrimination where the out-group is deemed subhuman.

Ugh, no, don't argue in favor of my beliefs this badly. We know what slavery is, and creative redefinitions only make you sound dishonest. Slavery, real slavery, still exists in the US, and we don't have to make up weird definitions to say that.

Slavery still exists in the US, legally. The thirteenth amendment says:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." (Emphasis mine).

This is a massive loophole, and one which has been taken full advantage of. By criminalizing things which shouldn't be criminalized, and then enforcing those laws unequally, you can effectively enslave a large portion of whatever group you want to.

In some cases such as Angola prison, the prisoners/slaves are literally forced to pick cotton for no pay. In other cases, the prisoners/slaves are paid some small amount: this is better for optics, but these same prisons easily recover the money by vending basic necessities at gouged prices: if you pay a seamstress $1/hour and then charge her $10 for a tampon at commissary, that's not pay. Prisoners can't shop elsewhere and can't work elsewhere.

And to be clear: the work isn't voluntary. Refusal to work is punished with solitary confinement and sensory deprivation--and that's if they bother to comply with the law instead of just beating prisoners who don't work or paying another prisoner to shank them. With little oversight, there's little stopping prisons from doing this.

In addition to lack of oversight allowing abuses of power, it also allows unsafe work conditions. Prisoners/slaves are unable to report unsafe conditions to anyone, and when unsafe conditions occur, there's no incentive to fix them.

Prison slavery is used by a variety of industries. JCPenney and KMart use prison slavery to manufacture clothes, IBM uses prison slavery to assemble circuitry, Wendy's and McDonald's use prison slavery to process foods.
Last I checked New York had fusion voting. Chicago had fusion voting until the 1990s.
California had fusion voting as late as the 1940s - not sure when it ended.

So it’s not as simple as “winner takes all.”

NB: fusion voting is where candidates are endorsed by multiple parties. So you can be a Democrat and a Libertarian.
St. Louis City went 82.71% for Obama for context. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_United_States_presidentia... so higher than cook... but the city of stl is generally even more blue and was one of the highest rates for obama nation wide. STL took it as a point of pride to vote more for obama than chicago where obmama is from.
Maybe, but analog components can really "color" audio. Filtering, resonance, ringing, slew- when you have devices that respond slowly and nonlinearly to DC voltage you get all sorts of effects on an AC signal. The most reliable way to reproduce the way a component affects the sound is just to use that component. Also... they look cool.
yeah this model is primarily tuned based on English data
Interesting to see this on the front page of HN. I'm a career Army officer. I've only skimmed it, but this is indeed a very thorough history of Army IO. A couple other comments:

1. While Army doctrine and organizational structure for "Information" keeps changing, and remains far from settled, we can say the same about Army doctrine and organizational structure in general. The Army has overhauled the way it thinks about itself every decade, going from "AirLand Battle" doctrine (as mentioned in the article) to "Full Spectrum Operations" to "Unified Land Operations" to "Multi-Domain Operations," while also continuously restructuring its corps, divisions, and brigades.

2. The most important points are the ones about "Information" lacking "a level of institutional prestige that is commensurate with the Army’s favored functions of fire and maneuver," and the communities of information specialists (of all types: IO, PSYOPS, PAO, IT, EW, ORSA, etc.) lacking "a position of relative advantage with respect to the Army’s central culture or organizational priorities," "without a significant champion among senior leadership." Most HN people would understand this to be like the role of IT in a non-"tech" industry company; it's seen as a cost center instead of a profit center, and the CEO isn't going to be a former IT guy.
I'm not sure where you read or heard its the best database. There are equivalents out there for niche uses cases, including enterprise where there are other options that are far better.

Perhaps 25 years ago it was true.
Nice way to miss my entire point.

I don't care if the campaign is pre-set or one you made up.

The point I was clearly making is DnD is about much more than the dungeons and dragons. It's about the camaraderie, banter, chitchat, and even arguments, the kinds of things you can meaningfully do, or want to do, with real humans.
As if CS is the only major in jeopardy of this? I predict the accountants and admin staff etc. will be replaced long before the people who build the systems that replace them.

Thanks! I've been thinking about contributing to either Godot or Blender. I'm a big fan of both.
Yeah, that's the problem with all these "helpful" posts.

You don't need poetry for that. My single CLI packages still use a setup.py that I haven't touched in five years and was simple enough to write.
Then it's unfortunate to be based on Ubuntu. I don't even want to depend on their repo. My next Linux install will be Arch.
This is honestly more entertaining than combat. Now I want to hear the TED talk from the skeleton leader.
It's possible it's just pure nostalgia on my part I guess, but my experience is that 1950's to 70's music sounds better on a tube amp. I'm speculating that the music was mixed for tubes -- and they wanted the warm sound of the tube to come through. So the sound was mastered for the imprecise tube amps of the time.
I think that there’s a lot of value in NPC’s not doing irrational things just because of dice rolls. You might need a dice roll to convince them to do something crazy (get the guards to attack a dragon), but not for something normal (apprehend the thief).

I’m a big fan of passive perception too, where based on their scores some characters will notice stuff, and other characters will not. It’s certainly never as random as D&D makes it out to be, but I guess that’s kind of the charm. I just can’t stand it.
Not my point. Pip/setuptools can build most C/C++ code just fine. Most, maybe even "almost all an average user would care about". But Rust doesn't extend into the same depth, and once it does you can expect the same issues. And you hardly ever need to compile Python extensions with pip or conda either, because both can distribute binaries for the most used platforms anyways.
Thanks! For resources the most helpful were the OpenGL Superbible, learnopengl.com, Foundations of Game Engine Development Volumes 1&2 and the 3D Graphics Rendering Cookbook. Then there were also a lot of web sources that were very helpful such as the Google Filament PBR paper and some realtime rendering presentations from other developers.
Couldn’t you make that argument against all SaaS?
People living in the suburbs would be happy to take the subway to the city if it was clean, safe and not full of random homeless crazy people.

I’m all for making cities pedestrian only, but you also need to build a comfortable way to go there. Paris is only doing half of the job.

True, but how much time does the average non-addict spend in drug rehabs? Both prisons and rehab facilities isolate addicts from the general population.
As a reasonable person, I am not happy that a browser's developers are more concerned about tangential, arguably completely unrelated, issues to their product.
I was being a little excessive. After all it should be clear that they won't get the shares without paying up. Or so I'd hope.
$22/user/mo? And the mobile app isn't even included in that?

Nope, I don't believe this is priced anywhere near reality.

It's an interesting concept, but in no way shape or form is a voice-only chat app worth that cost, regardless of philosophy or aesthetics or feature-set. At that price point hiring developers to hack together something with Mux would be less expensive.

I truly do not understand how it's justified.
How is the model going to realize this when it only gets run in response to user input?

Speaking as CEO at https://socket.dev, we’d love to partner with GitHub on an initiative like this.
Lovely idea & execution. I really like the landing page for this.

Not sure if it does already, but showing the user the equivalent git command would be a great way for them to learn git itself.
I don't understand the problem. Can't everybody just convert their businesses into Mastodon tools and interfaces? If Mastodon is the future, why complain about twitter? Why so desperate to cultivate an actual, literal fascist's newly-walled garden?
