> A timer can never replace the knowledge of how something is supposed to look, feel, and smell when it's done or not.

I tend to disagree on that one, unless you are particularly experienced, or naturally gifted, measuring tools (timers, scales, thermometers,...) will give you the best results. At least for me, that's the case.

And if you can't follow a recipe to the letter, without knowledge of how things are supposed to feel, it is not a proper recipe. The entire point is to give you consistent results, if I had the intuition, I wouldn't need a recipe.

And even if you are an experienced cook, precise instructions and measurements will give you a better baseline from where you can improvise. Yes, I have an idea on how cook a potato, but unless the recipe tells me how to do it, how do I know how potatoes are supposed to be for that recipe in particular?

So yeah, no matter how good at cooking you are, if you "just follow" a recipe properly and it doesn't work, then the recipe is wrong or incomplete. It is like in programming, 99% of the time, where there is a problem, it comes from the software, not the computer running it. And successful developers don't ask users to fix their bugs, even on open source projects where users have the ability to do it, why should it be different for recipe writers?
I worked with company that creates cook books and utensils in Switzerland in 2010, and they have a workshop kitchen on their premises. For every new recipe, they invite regular people to cook it at least twice. If the results are bad or inconsistent, they tweak the recipe and repeat.

I guess we don't have a kitchen of much global appeal, but at least it's consistent.
Most recipe sites are also misleading when it comes to the amount of fat required and the quantity of spices (at least for Indian cooking). I used to wonder why the special “restaurant” recipe was as just meh. Then after I got a little more experience cooking regularly, I just realised instinctively that the quantity and duration of cooking wasn’t accurate at all!
It's cheaper without having a standing army. I wouldn't say that capitalism is another system, i would just say it's an evolution of imperialistic society that reached the equilibrium of most profit and least resistance from the people

weirdly enough, organisations are more willing to rent GPUs than money.

If you want to help fund RWKV, the ko-fi link is - https://ko-fi.com/rwkv_lm

IMO: this needs way more funding, just to sustain blink leading this project, let alone GPUs for training.

Interesting. Glider 4.0 was written in Pascal (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/softdorothy/Glider4), but Glider Pro is in C. John Calhoun did say that he's finding himself going back to C now that he's retired from Apple.
I own a Push 1 and 2, although at hobbyist level.

The standalone Push 3 seems a great step forward. macOS has increasingly become user-hostile when it comes to audio (and other pro) users.

For instance I have an expensive sound card that became useless with after a minor OS upgrade. I never got to troubleshoot it or find an official solution.

That was incredibly discouraging - enough to move on to other hobbies. And I'm a programmer - don't want to imagine the pains that musicians have to go through.
I'm the author. Thanks for the mention below! A friend brought this post to my attention. I also have a substack now [1]. My talk from last year [2] did spur some discussion on HN [3], but it was too long for most to sit through.

To be clear, I'm anti-secretive censorship, not anti-moderation per se. But yes, secretive censorship is everywhere!

The long and short of it is that we are all equally guilty and equally capable of pulling ourselves out of this. It's not "just" the government as your article from The Intercept implies. The famous statements about "tyranny of the majority" came from Alexis de Tocqueville and John Stuart Mill, but you can hear for example Jordan Peterson making roughly the same point [4]:

> "People think that when you're in a totalitarian state, the reason that the state is totalitarian is because everyone is the victim of top-down pressure from tyrants. And that's not how it works at all. A state becomes totalitarian when every single person is lying about absolutely everything all the time."

And shadow removals occur in many online spaces, not just Reddit. They don't get rid of spam, they promote it. Bots easily code around it and real users are left stuck in the mud. "Trolls" don't learn because they aren't facing consequences.

The thing to keep in mind is the future. If we all do this to each other in perpetuity, we're doomed. Fortunately, we humans are smart and can perceive a better outcome. The more people who understand that this does happen, the more who will decide not to do it because they don't want it done to them, and it looks bad when it's revealed.

Nobody has to pickk this up. It's unnecessary surplus that only does damage. A third of all the food in the world is thrown away. European food production is too high because of the way agricultural subsidies work, and the surplus is dumped, often below market price, on the global market, driving farmers in Africa and India out of business.

Literally the only reason not to reduce this excessive production is in order to protect established business interests and not rock the boat.

That doesn't meam buying out farms is necessarily the way to go. A lot can be done to reduce nitrate pollution by changing the feed for cattle, letting them roam outside as much as possible (the biggest polluters are factory farms woth thousands of animals), and other measures. But reducing the food production won't cause any problems; it will solve them.

EU farm subsidies shouldn't be rewarding production at any cost, but sustainable production and care for the environment.
Had not known about this, thanks for sharing. This does certainly seem very interesting and applicable to the problem at hand. Large values are important to keep instead of NaNs and we generally don't need the precision in my experience.

Plus, when they're that big, they're sort of a wrecking hammer to whatever weights they touch anyways, so might as well save the precision for the cleanup steps afterwards where it really counts (at whatever number of bits works best of course) :D :)))) :D :))))

Has there been any progress on getting this running on modern operating systems?
Oh boy GitHub does not like those Mac line endings
Agreed. I have a few similar boards here at home and rarely use them. They're a pain to set up, you spend more time configuring channels and whatnot, and half the time, the DAW has problems even seeing them given the abysmal state of MIDI driver management on e.g. Windows.
Instead of sticking to recipes, for many it's a better approach to learn what is going on behind the scenes.

> Is it possible to have an i3-like experience on a modern GNOME desktop?

Unfortunately GNOME doesn't care about customisability or power user needs. They meticulously remove features they deem unnecessary, while actual people who rely on those features kick and scream "no".

In the old days, you used to be able to use a different window manager with your desktop environment, which meant you could just substitute Metacity for the actual i3. I think it's (maybe) still possible with X11/Mutter, but most likely no chance under Wayland, as the compositor combines several other roles in the stack, and the resulting desktop is much less modular.

If you're used to i3, stick to i3 (or Sway). If you need bits and pieces of another desktop environment, you can probably run GNOME or KDE apps just fine; or maybe you can try running the XFCE panel or similar. Also have a look at XFCE, LXQt or Lumina. They all start off with an integrated UX, but should be easier to replace whichever bits you don't like.
Ahh that's why! Thanks for clarifying.
I think you should run your homepage copy through the AI. It's clear that a non-native writer wrote it.

In particular, the hero, the beta message, and some of the FAQs. The main features section already looks like the AI wrote it.

What kinds of things are you using it for yourself?

The UI looks really nice and straightforward. Congrats on shipping!

Ha, they'll never be able to agree on anything. An easy win for Amazon corporate. It's only a matter of time until the climate hardliners will alienate all the work-from-homers and their alliance self destructs. Who needs Pinkerton anymore?

Nice to see that this device unlike many others is up-gradable. Battery can be replaced and even the CPU can be replaced.

Yes, the Windows kernel took the whole thing further but it still relied on MS-DOS for some things.

Both. Have both. Ingredients are not 100 uniform and always cook in same way. Have "how it should be done" and "how it should look during/at the end of the process". You can't have exact same temperature on the pan as recipe, I guess unless you're constantly using IR thermometer to check
61 years!! Holy cannoli. That's an incredible tenure by any measure.
If anything, reddit's moderation policies were an attempt to curtail the channification brought by edgelord subreddits like "fat people hate", "jailbait" and eventually "The Donald". Going down that route is an entirely plausible decision but it not only alienates most normies (not to mention the demographics typically on the receiving hand of the hate and harassment embraced by these groups) but also makes a site much less appealing to advertisers or investors.

Of course Voat promoting itself as a "free speech alternative to reddit" predictably led to it mostly attracting those affected by the reddit moderation policies, which led to them becoming exactly what reddit wanted to avoid and predictably failing eventually.

Microservices are definitely on the way down, but make any comment here or in a startup in the vein of "You don't need AWS/the cloud" and you'll see what's the real zeitgeist.

SPAs also get a lot of criticism here at Hacker News, but talk to a team of frontend developers and you'll get puzzled looks for suggesting rendering HTML directly in your C# or Rails monolith.

Please notice that I'm not criticizing or advocating anything, I'm just saying that there are trends and they're strong to the point of almost becoming laws. IMO this is what the article criticizes.
Did you just make things up?

There are people who work at FAANG without a degree, but that's the absolute minority. Most people have spent years on a formal education, many of which have a master's or even PhDs.
I understand why it's expensive, but as a hobbyist who'd want this for some fun at home, I do wish there were a cheaper standalone device without some of the fancy things like MPE and a battery.
That's a sequencer. It doesn't produce sound by itself, but produces notes to be used for other devices to produce sound.

You might be better off getting a Circuit Tracks or something (any groovebox) before diving deeper into the hobby, it will be more gratifying than buying individual hardware like that.
Sounds terrible in the video. If that is the best it can do... :(
Name one country that does not spy on it's non citizens.

The core part of story was the spying on citizen part without warrants.

A Little history...in early 20th century there was a big concern when the pen warrant precedents were established as the FBI felt that it was somewhat illegal. Several SC cases changed their view on that namely specifying that they needed to get a pen warrant for telecommunication eaves dropping.

current 702 upended that as pen warrants generally applied to US citizens even out of country whereas 702 changed that to a probability of there being a US citizen caught in the telecomm eaves dropping.

What would be nice is a revamp of 702 to be warrant based wire-taps that go through a special court for the warrants with the appropriate increase in judges to handle such a change.
I moderated a moderately sized gaming community forum during 2010-2015 as the "head admin".

It is a very thankless job, but harder than moderating the forum was moderating the mods themselves. Power corrupts, but the tiniest bit of lame internet power corrupts absolutely, and the only people that ever apply to be moderators are those that seek this lame power.

It starts off with reasonable people but slowly becomes a cabal of knobs with unquestionable authority who hire more of the same people until you've got an insular group of narcissistic, condescending mods that are just there to defend their own power.
The first recommendations published in Sweden were published in the 60s. They have changed very little on a macro level.

Before that people are traditional food, which usually was quite healthy if you had at least some economic means (otherwise it was a lot of rye, fish and potatoes in Sweden).

With the economic growth after the war people started deviating from healthy dietary patterns, which is why nutrition recommendations start popping up from the late 50s.

Who are we supposed to trust with nutrition if not the people that actually work with understanding the science? I do know that the USDA have quite a lot of industry influence, but that is not the case everywhere.

Most dietary recommendations look like the Mediterranean diet, which we know have very good health outcomes, with local adaptions. For a good reason.
I'm just an amateur of a similar amount of time, but I think it comes down to what inspires someone to create whether it's a physical interface or a graphical one. A little inspiration can overcome a lot of inefficiency. I prefer a tracker, but still want something like a DAW.

Sunvox is pretty great for quickly roughing out an idea. I use my MIDI keyboard for building patterns. I'll record the notes for a pattern and then play it back in a loop to adjust the rest of the parameters. I use the other mapped controls live until I have what I want. I prefer having tons of physical controls ready to go for this part. I have a few project files I always start from and their corresponding templates are saved into the keyboard. Then I go into audacity and record my guitar, voice, or whatever else to a click and import them into the timeline. I think it's more important to have your workflow down than be distracted by new shiny toys.
I am just sceptical, that there ever was a time, when the "Verfassungsschutz" was actually different. It was founded and staffed with ex Gestapo personal after all and the main historical mission was anti bolschewistic - and (ex) nazis are plausible anti communists, so they were hired.

There are difference in how the different branches operate, though (every federate state has also their own agency) and some seem to do good work, but others (thuringa) seem to be made up of Nazis themself, who rather support the neonazi organisations, they are supposed to be fighting against.

Frankly, I don't see a strong argument why they should exist in the first place and why their work cannot be done by ordinary (professional) police.

So yes, neonazis (and left wing extremists and islamists) operate in secrecy. But so do common criminals.

Edit: And the actual dangerous nazi terrorism cell that operated for years was indeed caught not by the specialised secret agency Verfassungsschutz, but by ordinary police. (With strong hints, that they were protected by some parts of the Verfassungsschutz)

Not really. Linux can initialize HW itself. Win3.1 and sometimes 95 relied on DOS to load drivers for some perpherals (Sound cards for example) because there were no Windows drivers available.
A sobering read. It's a shame it fell off the front page without much interest. I think more people should have a sense of what's going on at the front lines in this battle.

Anyway, I don't think everyone shares your view that land owners can do whatever they so please.

I only get recipes from YouTube, were I can see a person actually doing it. They can still “fake it” or lie but it’s less likely.
If I’m not mistaken, you still need the key itself to undo the steganography. They provide a way to autoregressively rewrite the decoded message with the aid of the key. I think the perfect secrecy part means that embedding the plaintext doesn’t cause any divergence from the model’s output distribution, so it’s undetectable. You just adapt the covertext in such a way that still has about the same information content but eg via different words.

The "read the source" argument. It doesn't scale. I don't have 17 lifetimes to study a single release of every bit of software I run.

I really do appreciate Emacs for the introspection capabilities, but it's not a solution to the trust chain issue.
Exactly what I have experienced. Even whatever time is mentioned in the cookbooks, I was never able to beat it. It takes a minimum of 45 minutes to prepare a decent dish for me. I too am an amateur and I measure my time with my mother's time and I see a difference but not so much. I do not do multitasking if I have something on the stove which requires constant stirring or moving around.

Also I found that slow cooking brings out the best flavours and aroma.
Good luck figuring out who needs a truck to transport generators, materials and tools and who doesn't. Just more bloat to chase some low-impact goals of activists who found a new group of people to pick on.

There is a lot of groove boxes on the market and seems they're getting more and more siblings, which is nice to see!

As a entry-device, Circuit Tracks is nice, immediate and not hard to learn to get your feet wet. It's also way cheaper than Push 3 but obviously a bit more limited.

Otherwise, there is a bunch of different devices at different price points, here is a one list sorted by "popularity": https://www.thomann.de/intl/groove_boxes.html
Level editing tools are created to build the levels by the devs. They just don't want to give them to players because they want to sell you additional content.

Talking specifically about the usual suspects but hell, even some indie games are doing it now, in indie games it seems more popular to release a new game entirely which is basically 1.0 with new maps but thankfully there are tons of passion projects that get new content for years and years who really deserve more support.
I'm pretty close to this at work since about 1/3rd of my job is helping the non-Linux people deal with Linux. Programming is their 2nd language so to speak, and the use of Linux is incidental, it's just what's easiest to give them to keep everything in our company compatible.

They require a person who knows Linux in order to keep working. It's not optional -- they just wouldn't be able to get everything running otherwise without it breaking every couple of days. The fixes they find without us usually end up masking the problem and causing a truly unfixable problem later.

This is one of the biggest flaws of Linux IMO -- you have to dedicate yourself to learning it to be able to use it as a daily driver effectively.

So: if you don't have to, and you don't know how, you shouldn't use Linux at all. There's no point, just use macOS. The macOS people eventually fix their problem on their own anyway since it's so standardized.
