Been making electronic music for well over a decade, but always in the classic DAW arrangement view, at most using MIDI keyboards in terms of haptic input devices but relying on mouse and keyboard 95% of the time. I look at devices like Push or Maschine and my immediate thought is how tedious it seems to get anything done with them. I find the different approaches to manifesting musical ideas endlessly fascinating.

This is it. I've volunteered in a kitchen with professional chefs, even between them there was a big difference: the most experienced chefs were that much faster than even decent home cooks, at least 4x. It is amazing to watch.

Being banned is in and of itself only a signal of strong disagreement with those holding the banning power.

Often those holding bumming power will ban for being an arsehole but they can also ban for many other things.

For instance, I don't necessarily think not wanting to allow people with male levels of testosterone to compete in female sports is arseholishness, but reasonable people can disagree here and a moderator might ban for it.
Even then, the molecules degrade/break down with time and the smells won't be all the fresh

Also who calls himself a monk and spends time on social media? Not that it’s supposed to be forbidden but social media is basically the death of attention…
Alligators are more closely related to chickens than lizards.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_reptiles :

> ... the diapsid reptiles split into two main lineages, the archosaurs (ancestors of crocodiles and dinosaurs) and the lepidosaurs (predecessors of modern tuataras, lizards, and snakes).

Alligators are archosaurs.

All birds, including chickens, are feathered theropod dinosaurs, which are a type of archosaur.

So it's more correct to say that alligators hang out in trees because they are just big four-legged chickens.

Thank you, I'm really glad you find the UI appealing!

> the best threaded discussion reader on iOS is Apollo

Nested comment design have been a weakness of mine and it certainly shows in Hazumi. I want to revamp comments so badly, showing a batch of nested comments in one tap or by default does sound better. A general theme I've been hearing here is "less taps to get to the content the better". 100% noted!

> the default font size is going to be divisive

I ended up using the default `body` size from SwiftUI but if you mean it would be more appealing if smaller, then I could add a text sizing slider to the settings.

Thank you again for trying out Hazumi and giving your feedback!

Second this. The Food Lab is great and by getting into the science of cooking, it made it approachable in a way that may resonate with the HN crowd.
This is why I find America’s Test Kitchen so helpful: they’ve tried everything repeatedly, and because of that it’s rare to find one of their recipes that doesn’t work.
If by multiple decades you mean century, then yes, I don’t know how they will ever recover.
I broadly agree with you (but then I work on cloud infrastructure which in most places I've worked so far has meant being a supporting/enabling function) but I do wonder:

> In any company larger than a few people, your own individual work doesn't matter so much - your time is better spent helping other people get their shit done, especially if you know enough to have people be asking you

This fairly obviously can't be true for everyone in an organisation so I wonder which factors affect it in practice - whether it's a function of personality or role, for example.

"Thank you for your message. We advise you not to start using our services, we are on the brink of shutting down, just haven't announced it yet."
Harold McGee's books are classics: informed by modern science but intended for home cooks and covering all common ingredients and techniques. They're more like reference books then something readable though.
Ask HN: What to do with a powerful PC if you don't play games?
I bought and assembled a fairly powerful/expensive PC (at the time) intel 12900k + RTX 3080. Within a few weeks of building it I stopped playing games on my PC to focus on other parts of my life.

Should I sell it?
Is there anything interesting people who no longer game do with their machines?
Thanks for the quote but that’s clearly not what I said.

> How is Kagi better than simply using google without an account through a VPN? Or using DDG through a VPN?

More features (lenses, explicit personalization), more results (it’s bing + google indexes + extra), and better results (IMO).

> I really don't like that Kagi requires you to have an account.

Many don’t, but you lose a lot of what makes it so much better without it.

> They can then associate all of your searches to that account

Yes, but then the rationale is that they are so expensive, so they don’t need to do shady shit like that. Currently, they don’t even save your history which is planned as an optional feature for later (so you can look into your own history).
> In QM models, it is a simplification to treat particle as point-like to make the mathematics tractable. It isn't necessarily an accurate picture of the underlying reality.

As far as I understand, it is more than that: it is an explicit assumption of the theory that elementary particles do not have an internal structure, and so their radius must be 0. This is not to be confused with the wave-like representation, which of course does have a size in space.

On the spin question, I will not claim I understand enough to actually go into more detail than the (probably simplistic) observation I've read that quantum spin can't be understood in terms of classical rotation/movement.
> setting a custom ‘new tab’ page

Aside, but it’s so crazy to me that both Chrome and Firefox lack this option. There are third party extensions for it, which is the official solution, but I’d rather minimize the number of third-party extensions I use.
Ask HN: How to regain access to Facebook page or get it deleted?
We had a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kidovoapp/ with a single admin account. The admin account got restricted because the person managing the account accidentally put a date of birth of birth 2 years ago and facebook doesn't allow anyone under 13 years of age to use it.

We cut a case via support and even via friends working at meta. We submitted all relevant documentation that we own the business and it belongs to us, but the answer we got from "internal team" is that they cannot add a new admin nor delete the page.

In the meantime, it causes confusion when users see 2 facebook pages for the same name and keep finding & going to the old facebook page that we no longer have access to.

We've tried everything from Lost access case to impersonation case, but the internal team's answer seems unchanged.

Can anyone suggest a way out?

PS: In our case it was an accident, but it seems crazy that a disgruntled employee could sabotage the entire social media presence of a company with a little help from Facebook "internal team".
Thanks for checking it out! So much amazing feedback here this morning.

Yes, definitely. This would also serve users well when they want to save on network requests/battery. Consider this added to the next build.

The 'shittification' is almost universal. I have suspected many internet recipes are never tried, but books too ...

If there are pictures, are those 'fake' too, as in the author did not care how it tastes? Atleast the dish was made once?

This is why you buy recipe books that was written in the 70s or prior. The base collection style of books.
There are indeed only two categories: either we say there's no meaning at all (and at the scale of the universe it definitely looks so) then there's no difference between a human and an ant, we're all nothings. Or, we say there is a meaning in humans, then we must give meaning also to smaller critters like you suggested, just don't look at the scale of the universe :) Or of course, we accept meaning as a very local thing then everybody can redefine their own, even the ants which would surely say "what a meaningless thing is that hooman colony New York".

> Every knife is sharp if you sharpen it.

That's not consistent with my experience. Some knives will never take a good edge. But not all knives actually need a good edge. There are evidently different kinds of "stainless steel"; some kinds are immune to sharpening, some are quite good. But if I want a really sharp kitchen knife, it has to be carbon steel.

Carbon steel knives rust/pit easily - you have to clean them and dry them, you can't just leave them to dry in the sun.
This isn’t really relevant to the article, but are there any file systems which can store files using erasure coding? (As opposed to using something like MinIO)
Thanks for pointing out the tensions that existed in Rwanda that led up to it. I was particularly analogizing on the point just before the genocide, where the faction in power were unpersoning and calling for violence against their later victims.

In the end the analogy is flawed either way you spin it. Democrat and Republican voters are not ethnic/cultural groups in a country recently ravaged by colonialism.

But again, I am noting that someone is complaining about increasing oppression against their minority group, and you are lamenting about them playing into party politics.

Human rights are more important than the issue of having a healthy political culture. I thought it was inappropriate and out of touch to focus on the latter in this context.
Oh for sure, a 1-off ban in a single community doesn't mean much, but if you find yourself being banned from multiple communities because of the things you're saying, it's probably worth taking a moment of introspection to really assess whether you're in the right or not.

I also don't think that particular example is arseholeish but it sure is tedious to hear folks with no interest in sports who suddenly have an opinion on who can compete. If you want to engage in the subject matter go speak to folks at your local athletics or sports club.

I've found it surprisingly good. It seems to understand how flavours are paired at least well enough to take a stab at balance. It does tend to default to American cuisine though.

Ask it for something bizarre like sweet and sour potatoes and see how it does.

Or a recipe that combines anchovies and strawberries, that's a good one.
Cannot say for recipe books, but for illustrations for ads and/or for restaurant posters, the "traditional" way was to not use food at all, or use only partially actual food, the rest being artificial.

Very likely this has changed but once there were specialized artists that made mock-ups (often using wax, but not only), besides the ready-made props (usually plastic).

And then there is an endless list of non-food ingredients that are used because they come out great in photography, example:

Even when comparing across several recipes, I can still run into issues. For example, about five years ago I wanted to make banket, a Dutch almond pastry. I found several recipes online, compared them, and started testing them out. Every single one of them had a runny filling. Worse, most of the recipes were just copies of each other, sometimes with unit conversions, but the same wrong recipe.

I ended up experimenting with the recipe over the next six months, eventually getting the texture of the filling right. But those initial recipes were so far off, I doubt any of the authors had actually made it.
Per BBC article, this is the first time the human genome of a single person will be fully sequenced. The previous sequencing were of multiple people.

The BBC title is also a bit misleading, if not a bit clickbait-ish, and debatably doesn't represent the story. They could have mentioned it was about the sequencing of an entire genome of a single human being or that humans have such diversity that you can't ever sequence everyone for a complete story.
This sounds pretty bad, right? Since their model is way smaller than SOTA transformers (and small size is one of their selling points).
For what it's worth, my decent PC from ten years ago is still not awful now. PCs aren't moving quite as quickly as they used to.
My problem isn't that I have to filter, but the remaining part is pretty much useless.

Google is worse every day. Bing isn't getting any better either. DDG is of course Bing, with extra filters. Yandex is.. well... for some very niche searches it's actually nice, as long as it's a topic Russians don't care about. But they display a captcha every 2nd click. Marginalia goes only for niche sites, which is great if you are looking for that. But it avoids mainstream. Have been playing with Mojeek recently, but it seems to lack a bunch of websites also.

Personally I'm considering running my personal Marginalia (at least it's open source), with my own sitefilter. But still just considering.
It gets interesting when you ask it for variations.

I have not thought this through, but it seems like that is what you get for implementing such a law in the first place? Why should an agency be allowed to spy on non-americans more anyway?

If they have a good reason, they can spy, and they can get a warrant for it. If they don't have a reason, they shouldn't be able to search anything, American citizen or not.
Interesting to see Intel still being rather competitive here. My biases had me going in thinking AMD would walk away with the win.

The conclusion:

"Analysis and Conclusion

With this test we were looking to confirm that Erasure Coding on commodity hardware can be every bit as fast as dedicated hardware - without the cost or lock-in. We are happy to confirm that even running at top-of-class NIC speeds we will only use a minor fraction of CPU resources for erasure coding on all of the most popular platforms.

This means that the CPU can spend its resources on handling IO and other parts of the requests, and we can reasonably expect that any handling of external stream processors would take at least an equivalent amount of resources.

We are happy to see that Intel improved throughput on their latest platform. We look forward to testing the most recent AMD platform, and we expect its AVX512 and GFNI support to provide a further performance boost. Even if Graviton 3 turned out to be a bit behind, we don’t realistically see it becoming a significant bottleneck.
For more detailed information about installing, running, and using MinIO in any environment, please refer to our documentation. To learn more about MinIO or get involved in our community, please visit us at min.io or join our public slack channel."
Those don’t seem like overtly/overly political causes to me.
I mean it's very good. I have some 25 year old Tupperware in my kitchen and it's still doing absolutely great. Glass eventually breaks, Tupperware plates live. Cheap boxes sometimes break in less than a year. It's worth buying for the longevity alone.
Maybe its just my bubble but somehow I seem to encounter far more commentary railing against these sorts of trends than actually genuinely promoting them, nevermind people claiming them as silver bullets. As such I can't really empathize with statements like:

It's a 'barrier to entry' thing. To get the kind of skills that you need for good keyboard work is a lifetime of dedication, but once you've got it it is very quick and easy compared to something like the Ableton Push and other such devices.

But that initial barrier is such that a beginner will be able to get much more mileage out of such a device. They might never even run into the limitations though it may limit the musical space that they can work in on some dimensions.

In the end what matters is the result, not so much how it was reached.
Just because meth is a chemical and ChatGPT is an AI, doesn't make this close to the topic. It was about AI research in chemistry.
