That’s fair, and perhaps an issue of tonality being lost in text or cultural differences in speech styles .

though part of the issue is “I disagree because Y” is not relevant because it’s an opinion with no negative effect on those who disagree (as opposed to say opinions on very factual science). So “I disagree because Y” is implicitly a rebuttal.

Instead , the subtly different “I see where you’re coming from however for me Y” is not a rebuttal. It’s an acceptance that two views may exist simultaneously and be equally valid.

If you look at the responses of the person I responded to, they’re always in the form of “well I need this so it makes no sense”

Note that they never acknowledge that others may not have the same needs or views. There’s an absolute way in all the interactions I’ve had with them.

The simple act of accepting another’s perspective changes the post from a negation to something that builds upon it.

> Having a full DAW on the go is a killer feature imho.

I think the problem here that most won't realize is that they'll have no idea what you're listening to and so will be mixing audio in the dark, so to speak. Professionals will check headphone mixes, but generally won't mix with headphones certainly not bluetooth headphones. I suppose there may exist such a thing as powered Bluetooth monitors, but again, the wireless Bluetooth, and what it does to audio, is the weak part in the chain. iPad built in speakers are not flat, so if you mix for them, the audio might only sound alright coming out of an iPad.

There are probably audio docks for iPad which will include a DAC for converting stereo sound from the iPad USB-C port, and jacks for monitors, but I have never seen one that doesn't have the cheapest components available. Not sure of the current abilities of iPad and USB-C, but last I heard, iPad was only capable of stereo in and stereo out. There's a lot that can be done with just two tracks, but do not doubt that everything depends on the converters and preamps, so a professional quality USB-C ADC/DAC with decent pres (unless off-boarded) is paramount to creating half decent tracks, which is paramount to creating very good mixes.

Not everyone is a professional audio engineer, and everyone here that is an expert at everything will likely be satisfied with terrible converters and the audio they produce. YMMV
Overfishing is serious enough at this point that I'd rather take a small health risk than contribute to it.
Only if we let it. But we will need to explore options other than “continue with the status quo” before that comes along.
Everything can (and will) be weaponized, so the only realistic way to approach it is as a cost/benefit analysis. If something can bring more good than harm, excellent. If something can bring more harm than good, then maybe rethink things.

I don't believe we are agreeing.

In your scenario, I'd expect the wheel to either collapse or to spread the load to the remaining spokes below the hub. It's not a separate system where you can remove a spoke without affecting the whole structure (though you can remove some spokes and the wheel will still function, but won't be as strong).

The easiest way to test it is to pluck the spokes when no-one is sat astride a bike to determine the rough tension/pitch of the spokes (choose just one side if it's the rear wheel as spokes will be at different tensions for the different sides if the wheel is dished). Then get a friend (or enemy) to sit on the bike and again pluck the spokes to see if the extra load has resulted in an increase of tension in the upper spokes (i.e. hanging from the top of the rim) or whether the lower spokes have a decrease in tension (i.e. supported by the bottom spokes with a compressive load).

I mean.. The LLMs are based on neural networks? They can approximate any equation right? It's possible the LLM formed areas that are extracting the equations and doing something very similar to traditional calculation. I think that "predicting" the next token is probably a bit reductive to what's happening in the LLM based on my understanding of image classification networks.

Humans don't work like binary computers either. Every person probably has some error rate on calculations as well. Maybe the LLM is much closer to humans in doing math than either to a physical processor.
I am really disappointed in Mcsweeney's here who usually have much better takes. The reality is this satire is tinged with fear more than high handed criticism. It makes me feel like the essay seem weak, and without the position of strength and conviction that good satire needs.

HN discussion from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35863175
- One method could be a Linux laptop and using SSH to talk over devzat [1] They should generate a site-specific ssh key to talk to your devzat instance. The developer is here on HN. Configure devzat to listen on port 443. To do this as a non-root account use "setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /path/to/devzat". They have a live instance both of you could try out. Using SSH takes most of the risk of compromised state-run certificate authorities out of the picture.

- If the goal is to have voice chat then install uMurmur [2] on your router or a VM or any node that is publicly reachable. They should use Mumble on a Linux laptop but if they had to use a cell phone then there is the Mumla app to talk to your uMurmur instance. uMurmur takes a couple minutes to set up. Self-hosted uMurmur reduces the risk of utilizing platforms that have a "wink wink nod nod" relationship with the state. Either use LetsEncrypt or a self signed cert if you do not trust LE.

He cannot be sure his phone or device isn't compromised.

Most of the Linux distributions today can be run from RAM first to ensure that the OS works prior to installing it. Your friend can burn a few USB thumb drives with different distributions and find one that suits them best. They could even continue just running Linux from RAM and leaving the internal disk untouched.

I agree that in politically unstable locations the phone can not be even remotely trusted. It must be put into airplane mode and then shut down and put into a shielded phone case.

Show HN: Open-source toolkit for ML model evaluation and active learning
$49 a year is pretty damn cheap in IMHO. Also, when the new version comes out, you don't have to put another lump of cash up front to get it, you just upgrade your subscription and get the new version. Something better comes along? Just cancel the subscription and switch to the new software. The fear of "being too invested in a software package" basically goes away. I think this is a good move on Apples part and the customers part on several levels.
Interesting comment below the linked article:

> Lots of asymmetries involved. The star is off-center toward the lower right, same direction as the partial arc. The major ring could be elliptical, rather than circular. It also varies in brightness around the circumference.

I'm a complete layman, but could this explain the high deviation from circular orbits of our own outer planets? IIRC this was something of an unexplained issue?

I work in the video world, and video editors have been asking for something like Final Cut Pro on the iPad for ages. They often used iMovie but wanted something more, so they'd start in iMovie on their iPad because they had it on them, then later when they hit something they couldn't do in iMovie, they'd move the project to their Mac and import it into FCP. It was a bit of a pain. And obviously Apple isn't the only one who thinks that. Davinci released an iPad app a few months ago. (Or announced it, anyway. Not sure if it's available yet.)

For fun, I've used GarageBand on the iPad, and it's great! I use Logic on my Mac for actually writing and recording, but I do think it would be great to have something more powerful than GarageBand on my iPad. Sometimes I hit a wall on the iPad and have to move over to Logic on the computer. It would be nice to not have to switch like that right when I'm in the middle of working.
> GM was not affected by PRISM, so they could make claims of having a privacy oriented vehicle

I don't this this really follows. Can't you be unaffected by PRISM and then later also sell lots of customer data or whatever? Though I agree this won't be the death of GM. The worst case is they later go back and just add Carplay and Android Auto and waste a bunch of money trying to write their own stuff.

> >You also write your own future. If the tech duopoly decides to do something like forbid alternative web browser engines, you don't need to bend the knee.

I just want to say that this isn't the case for any person or corporation and it never will be. You always rely on someone or something else. GM for example relies on the United States to secure oil. You, a regular person rely on (whoever) to go and mine minerals to build your laptop. It's not just a fantasy but it's a uniquely weird, and hysterical anti-social pattern that I wish would just die. It's ok to rely on someone else and in fact it's normal, acceptable, and desirable. Relying on someone else means you have to forge relationships, and not be an ass.

> Sometimes a tiny bit of friction makes a big difference

I have three firearms in my safe right now that were 100% legal when I purchased them. They came with a copy of a letter sent to the manufacturer by the ATF that clearly and explicitly states that they are legal as configured. January 31st of this year, the ATF decided that not only are they illegal, but they've always been illegal. If I don't destroy, modify, or register them they will each carry the same penalty as if I had manufactured machineguns in - checks calendar - 22 days.

Oh, and the registration process requires me to sign a statement indicating that I have committed a felony. The ATF has promised not to prosecute me for it, but... well, forgive me if I don't trust the ATF.

This is not the first time I've had hundreds or thousands of dollars of my legally-acquired property declared retroactively illegal.

I'd love "a tiny bit of friction", because this is ridiculous.
But why would Apple stop supporting a subscription product that brings in revenue?

You've unintentionally alluded to the reason why single-purchase software is such a flawed business model. If I buy a piece of software from a company that's using a one-time purchase business model, I basically have to expect them to go out of business or constantly be on life support because their only revenue comes from new customers. Once their market is saturated, they're done.

Persistent licenses are really still licenses, not truly buy it and keep it forever product. The time scale is just longer. Aperture was discontinued, so now it's a matter of "good luck finding a machine that still runs it." While it's great that you got to keep the software forever, that doesn't guarantee the software has value anymore.

Almost all of the purchased objects in our life degrade in some way, whether it's fast or slow.

Also, I think that Apple's persistent license professional suite was priced well below cost to attract users to the Mac platform. In contrast, these are applications that are intending to turn a profit on their own.
This is only the norm on Windows 11 because Microsoft has dedicated themselves to backwards compatibility, something that very much hampers the rest of the OS - in that Windows 11 uses much fewer resources if you rip out WinSxS and 32 bit application support https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34654649.
> The fact is that XMPP has been, and still is, happily deployed at scale in various scenarios.

And this argument, also, can be applied to almost any mature technology. Remember, there are nuclear reactors in use today that are running happily and safely on PDP-11s programmed in PDP-11 assembly.

Granted, the comment you replied to was not particularly constructive, but it does mirror my own experiences and difficulties with XMPP in the past. This kind of handwavy dismissal does not exactly inspire confidence the situation has improved.
The US is a melting pot of different philosophies, including the way they treat money. Not only do they have people who worship money, they have people that don't worship money and also everything in between, including those who hate and love taxes.

I'm not so sure if we can classify a whole country into one stereotype, and to do so would most definitely be small and close-minded thinking.

Evidence for what, specifically? It's pretty obvious that society is having a major mental health crisis, likely caused by social media, and this isn't particularly controversial when talked about in any other context. But in this context, the groupthink of one political tribe is to focus on extremist solutions about the tools themselves as part of the culture war, all but guaranteeing that nothing will really change.

And yes, I specifically said that mental illness should make you ineligible to possess firearms (isn't this already federal law or am I getting it confused with state laws?). There likely needs to be more implementation details to make this restriction actually effective. And there needs to be buy in from actual gun owners to police their own communities, rather than it being seen as more top-down nanny state regulations to be ignored. This used to be part of common sense, but especially with the rise of social media, it isn't so common any more.
Disturbing to see so many in favor of removing our bedrock rights because they are afraid of a tool. Nobody wants to end up like the UK or Australia in terms of reduced rights. That was literally the impetus for the creation of the USA.
> And I know the argument is that investors don't understand quality and this takes away resources from quality writers, but quality writers have lost the war anyways, apparent from the decline in the percentage of quality content.

For some use cases you don't need quality. E.g. where I live there's a free newspaper, the Metro, given out on buses/trains. The articles only exist to get people to read the ads. Most of the articles could probably just as well be written by AI. For all I know, some already are.

But some use cases do need quality, and quality will remain.
One of the reasons my wife and I moved to the country is because there is so much LED lighting everywhere that the sky glows white at night. Our neighbors have also taken to competing with each other to see who can install the brightest spotlights around our city house. One guy installed a 15000 lumen flood in his driveway which was lighting up our bedroom at night through the blinds.

I really think we're going to have to ban certain forms of exterior lighting or nobody is going to be sleeping well.

This is a reason for Microsoft (which you have given to them) that explains why they're ignoring the license, and why you think it's fine. It's a common refrain: "Everything is so complicated." It doesn't change the fact that they're ignoring the license.

That's not the reason, the reason it will fail is that although federation is a strength in some ways the other way is you're putting your faith in maybe just 1 person moderating and maintaining the instance you choose. If you build your audience at one address that place might disappear overnight if that persons life circumstances change and then (correct me if I'm wrong) you need that persons permission to move to another server.

Agreed. The tell is the word "annoying" in this sentence: "Nor does Hsieh’s time at Harvard prove to be particularly illuminating: he, like many annoying undergraduates there, tested out his entrepreneurial chops in his dorm room". Only a member of a competing subgroup would use the word "annoying" like that. I'm surprised an editor didn't catch it. It gives away that the subtext here is inter-elite competition (media vs. tech, arts vs. business). The article is a stroke against one elite group (Hsieh and tech entrepreneurs) by another (the author on behalf of his New Yorker audience). You could write the same thing in reverse, bashing the author and questioning how he got in at the New Yorker, the same way he questions how Hsieh got his seed money. It's a deliciously nasty takedown and a perfectly chosen topic: equal parts envy and schadenfreude, and risk-free because the dude can no longer defend himself.
