I don't think that this is a matter of definition. The song rhythm is clearly audible. The kick drum is a dead giveaway. On a 4/4 bar the kick drum has two additional quieter hits after the 3 and before the snare on 4, which de-emphasize the 3 and 4 in those bars. The 2/4 bar just plays the simpler kick/snare pattern from the first half of the 4/4 bar and that pattern repeats immediately in the next 4/4 bar.

I think that might be the problem. It's hard to quote big time projects like that.

Think about breaking the project into smaller pieces say 1/3's or better 1/4s and release smaller scoped mini-projects into production.

This gives your users something to start playing with and hopefully be more productive earlier on (rather than wait 3 months).

What do you mean, what hope does she have? You do not need to go to Stanford or MIT to be successful. In fact I think the average person would be better off not going to an expensive school like that.

If you're goal is to be in the top echelons of elitist society I guess that's where you've got to be. If your aim is be gainfully employed and make a good living then those schools aren't necessary for anything.

I feel like it probably costs them very little to keep every title listed for sale. They could be making revenue from it. Probably not as much as when the stuff was new, but something.

I guess by cutting off supply of the old stuff, though, they can do re-releases and re-masters charging somewhat similar to the price of a new game, or get people to pay a monthly subscription fee for access.

But I think the idea here is that the elephants in question are at a similar level to humans intellectually. They will be able to overcome fears (be courageous), plan with others, use tools, etc. Hard to know how would come out on top in that case. Probably would come down to food consumption, reproduction rates, adaptability to various environments etc. more than who would win in head-to-head battles.

I'm sorry, but this is either incorrect or a gross misunderstanding of your own threat model.

Most people treat their online self as an extension of their physical self: that means banking information, private personal details, intimate communications, and everything else that's normally private by virtue of physical ownership needs to go through an authenticated channel.

I was thinking about "molded-in color" panels like the old Pontiac Fiero. That makes sense, though, re: painted plastic panels. They'd be a whole different ballgame and there's, I'm sure, interaction between the paint chemistry and the plastic chemistry that's probably pretty hairy.
MS has enough developers to build two features at the same time.
Thanks for this, I've been looking forward to it.

I used Amazon Echo devices during their first 6 months of public availability before I got sufficiently creeped out to pull the plug permanently. Since then, I've wished for something similar that wasn't a 'black box' doing unknown things with my data.

When you posted about Willow here on HN, I immediately purchased an ESP-BOX (glad I didn't wait, they sold out quickly!)

I have a bunch of unused rpi CM4 that I stocked up on a few years back, I loaded Home Assistant onto one of them and connected Willow to it. I didn't have anything to automate yet, so all I got was error messages about missing HA intents. Then finally, last night, some Zigbee stuff got delivered and now, after an 8 year hiatus, I have a voice assistant again, and it doesn't creep me out.

After a couple hours last night messing around with HA and researching, I have some more stuff on the way. I'm going to be able to automate my window-mounted air conditioner using an IR device, and that same device includes an RF component so I can control my 433mhz ceiling fan (broadlink RM4 pro, for any interested reader). I have some temperature sensors on the way to assist with all that.

Home Assistant has a commercial side with a cloud offering that lets me control this setup from anywhere for about $60/year. It can even tie in to my phone to run automation based on when I leave or return. And all of this is open source, with none of my data going anywhere (except to Tovera's inference server, which I will shortly replace with my own)

I also saw your issue comment last night about a Willow Application Server. The idea is exciting, and I hope it happens, I am very interested in that idea.

Thanks again for what you're doing. I hope you see success with this, the entire home computing/home automation ecosystem will benefit in the long term.
> Not sure how you're defining "stagnated", but Real Weekly Wages have continuously gone up since 1980: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q

Wages definitely stagnated in 1980 (your chart shows $319 for both 1980 and 1998, for example, and it's visibly pretty flat for those two decades), and they've continued to be decoupled from productivity and corporate profits. "Trickle-down" turned out to be mostly pee.

I took your text and asked chatgpt to turn it into a fun poem:

I surf the web with playful glee,
Blocking ads, just watch and see!
In my browser, they won't appear,
DNS blocked, they shed a tear.

Beacons and pings, they can't track me,
URLs confused, they cannot be.
Analytics and logs, no data they'll find,
Programmatic pleas, they're left behind.

Campaign tags, I strip them bare,
UTM queries, I won't share.
Unshorten URLs, a clever trick,
Tracking hacks, they're in a fix.

Autoplay videos, I make them stop,
No more interruptions, no more flop.
Cookies, beware! I block you all,
Only the necessary ones may crawl.

Visibility API, you can't spy,
No prompts to install, no need to try.
Hidden pixels, stay out of sight,
My email's safe, try as you might.

Unsubscribe, I'll show you the door,
No more emails, I'll take no more.
Block your address, a final resort,
No more junk in my digital fort.

SMS ads, they come my way,
But I block and report, come what may.
Phone calls, ignored if not my friend,
Only contacts, let the ringing send.

Data brokers, they won't win,
I pay a company to wrangle them in.
Junk mail, it's a thing of the past,
Straight into the bin, it's gone at last.

So join me, my dear friend so true,
Block those ads, they're not for you!
Let's surf the web with joyful cheer,
No ads, no tracking, have no fear!

Unexpected 3DS update breaks many common homebrew hacking methods
There’s a lot of ad hate in this thread — and on HN in general — that sometimes feels a bit naive.

In 2004, I started a small website on the side that had no business value at all. It was just a small community of video game fans (specifically Animal Crossing), and pretty quickly, the costs outgrew what I was willing to afford on my own.

So I opened up donations. Unfortunately that didn’t get me very far, so I eventually— and begrudgingly — added ads. I was very intentional about keeping them as unobtrusive as possible: just some banner ads at the top and bottom of each thread and forum, and a square next to the first unread comment. I hated pop-ups (the kind that opened in a new window — very common at that time), and I didn’t have them on any other page on the site (just forums).

This gained me about 10x the revenue I got from donations alone, and was able to scale the site’s hardware, allowing me to keep the site up and running for nearly 20 years, and provided some modest passive income for a time. (I just recently sold it to someone else, but it’s still up and running.)

My point is, that wouldn’t have been possible without ads.

I agree with most of you: sites today have a ridiculous number of ads and are very intrusive. But for sites that don’t go overboard, or for small independent YouTube channels, I don’t mind allowing the ads, because I know they probably wouldn’t make it otherwise.

Yes, I hear the comments saying “maybe they shouldn’t exist if they can’t monetize without ads”, but I’m not sure I agree. There are many that just wouldn’t survive with donations alone, and a subscription model may not make sense.

There are just some cases where ads make sense for them, and I’m ok with that (with the caveat they don’t go overboard), and because I’ve been on the other side, I don’t block ads.
I have a side business and a friend of mine had been struggling with minimum wage jobs since we both graduated college. I'm fairly successful in the tech world, and I've always thought the world of this guy, so when I had the opportunity to hire him for my side biz, I did it instantly. He struggled a bit at the beginning because he wasn't used to having autonomy. When you're an entry-level person, you expect a to-do list every day, but I started mentoring him into being self-directed. These days, he's kicking butt.

I'm hoping in a year or so he'll have enough confidence to apply for a "real" job, and that this gets him off the ground. I'd lose him for my company, but I can deal with that. I'd rather he get further into the industry and make a gazillion dollars, and that won't be possible with me.

Sometimes I think it's just a matter of giving people a step up, even if it's not to the top floor.

> AI-Generated review summary: We are making it faster and easier for customers to scan reviews for apps by using the power of AI to compile thousands of reviews into a simple summary, enabling customers to discover new content with ease.

Would be cool to have an option to actually read those reviews. If I open Firefox page in the Store app it says 420 ratings but I can only read a single review. If I press 'See all' it just shows an empty page. If I open Firefox store page[0] in the browser it says 'No one has reviewed this application yet. Be the first to add a review.' Reviews seem to be split by country or by some other criteria for no good reason.

It can in many circumstances. I live rural and we don't have a land line. It's hard to get the kids over to their friends as much as they want. My solution is to talk to the other parents. We all agreed to no tik too. I turn our wifi off after bed time. We have a phone contract with our 14 year old that stipulates the usual be nice and don't live on your phone rules.

They swim, ski, kayak and play school volleyball and badminton so there's lots of opportunities for that sort of interacting but I think it would be pretty harsh to cut them off of their phones. If I could get 3/4 of their friends parents to agree I would for sure until they are 16.

tl;dr When cooking, use yellow. They're cheaper and you need less.

---

Yellow onions have a stronger flavor, even after cooking. (Though cooking of course lessen it a lot.)

White and sweet are essentially the same, with the latter being slightly sweeter.

In the end they do taste similar cooked. Biggest difference is price. Yellow is usually 20% cheaper than white and 40% cheaper than sweet.
No, i think the desire to pay others less is. Because that’s what deflating bubbles means - dramatic drop in whatever the context is. The normalisation you are talking about means everyone will be equally underpaid. Or did you think software devs were getting paid by money taken away from other jobs and now suddenly the central government will reallocate it? If anything they’ll get paid less because there’s less tax revenue and more corporate profit.
I completely agree that the best LLM output is something that is still understandable/hackable -- and maybe even _needs_ further hacking. That's what I tell people when they say "I heard AI is replacing programmers."
They either have their backup codes or there's probably a manual process the pypi team can get them their account back if they can sufficiently show they are the real developers.

Comprehensive Rust: course used by the Android team at Google
Also Hasura and PostgREST (thus by extension Supabase). I would also add that one of the entry barriers of such projects is the need to write UDF. Most developers are not used to write UDFs, and the languagea (plsql and likes) themselves lack the features and ease of modern languages and vary among database vendors.

As mentioned by other people there have been attempts to allow writing UDF using the JVM, Javascript, Python and so on, by they never caught on (and some of them are difficult to install) and are not that portable to other database vendors, they require installing third party extensions and so on.

I for one see WASM to be a good candidate for a really portable solution.

A month ago, a father shared a very compelling story about how his young son started his own conlang and how ChatGPT was able to learn it from a few examples and converse into it.

Lars is technical, he's just not proficient in a traditional way. He's incredibly creative and plays things oddly (compared to his contemporaries), which a lot of traditional drummers call "wrong". Never made sense to me why Jimi Hendrix was a genius but Lars gets ridiculed, they're very similar in that way. He didn't keep up his chops as he aged and now has trouble playing a lot of the things he wrote when he was younger. But his contributions to the songwriting and very unique style influenced a generation.

All that being said, I think this timing strangeness could absolutely have started because that's how Lars played it (intentional or not), and everyone adapted to him because it's cool.

My issue with this is that it feels less like a new toy to play with and more like a new worm that is meant to hook me, my workflow, and my data into their silo. I'd like to see better demarcation in windows tooling when it comes to how they're managing user data. Similar to how developers tend to colour code DEV and PROD environments so that they don't accidentally alter PROD. I'd like to see colour coding on microsoft tooling that delineates "local data that is processed locally, and is 100% private" processes from "local data that will be processed in the cloud and possibly stored for training later without you being able to know" processes. The moment data leaves my local network, I assume it is compromised, so having clearer delineation will help me know what tools to avoid.

CMA isn't a quango - its absolutely a direct government org, established by Act of Parliament. Nothing "Non-Governmental" to see here, its run by the Department for Business and Trade.

From wikipedia:

Type Non-ministerial government department

"A non-ministerial department (NMD) is a government department in its own right, but does not have its own minister. However, it is accountable to Parliament through its sponsoring ministers."

> https://www.gov.uk/guidance/public-bodies-reform

UK ministers (politicians) can absolutely influence the CMA, there is no vote on its leaders - they are simply appointed by the Business Secretary, who can pick whomever they find most favorable to their own objectives. The Business Secretary can be replaced at any time without a vote by the Prime Minister too in a reshuffle.

The only real check on the CMA would be the UK's judicial review process, if a decision was especially egregious.
