From the Ondes Martenot [1] to the Haken Continuum fingerboard [2], this type of wiggling finger motion for vibrato is so intuitive, I wish more discrete controllers proposed it as a per-note pitch bend (which MPE makes possible, but can also be achieved with RPN/NRPNs in MIDI 1.x).

This was one of the worst cookbooks I ever bought and some things were borderline wrong.

I should have taken notes of what irked me so much about it, but there were multiple things about it that weren't for geeks. Any interview in it filled liked pure filler and because the book is black and white illustrating pictures loose nearly all meaning.

Most "illustrations" are more than unnecessary anyway and seem to be only there as a space filler. Don't get me wrong with 400 pages it is not a pamphlet or something and there ARE useful information in there, but most of the information wasn't useful, scattered through the book, interrupted by interviews with 0 value and littered with recipes I would never cook.

I personally rate "The Food Lab" from Kenji Lopez-Alt much higher than this and more helpful.
Fox News isn't banned, unlike the Daily Mail. When it is on the record that everyone from the hosts up to network executives were aware and continued to report falsehoods, one might think the lady doth protest too much.
The paper is meant to compare architecture vs architecture with similar model size, and dataset - to inform decisions in future architecture designs

Its main benefits being presented with the above staying closely the same, is that it has significantly lower running and training cost without performance penalty

If you want to compare any <20B model with GPT 3.5 / 4 / 100B models evals, thats another paper altogether
No encore?
This looks great and I would love to try it but I have an iPhone 7 plus so can't install the required version of iOS - need to upgrade!

I currently use Octal but would switch and pay the subscription for an app that:

1) Highlights or lowlights comments I've already read. I think this is quite hard to do well though.

2) Allows me to hide stories I'm not interested in with a swipe.

3) Adds read later functionality - maybe an option available in the story screen. Currently, I favourite things I want to read and then unfavourite when I've finished but I realise that's probably not what the feature was intended for!

Bonus points for an offline mode! (as someone else mentioned)
> that is exactly the feeling I often have. Proportions and time seems incorrect and you question what you are going wrong. I have a few cookbooks like the ones from Yotam Ottolenghi where the recipe is actually correct. It is so much more fun to use.

I wonder what you would think of Ethiopia: Recipes and Traditions from the Horn of Africa ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/1623719631/ )

The recipes are good. But the book rarely specifies an amount of anything, and sometimes when it does it's accompanied by a note saying "I toned this way down for an American audience". [1] Many recipes include the direction "add enough water to prevent scorching" one or more times.

I just take the philosophy that that book mostly expects you to know what you want and how to get there, and whenever you try making a new recipe from it you might be wildly off. But it's not a matter of the recipes being "incorrect" -- they're great! It's that they're underspecified.

I don't think the requirement for familiarity with a recipe can really be gotten rid of. Learning to make rice-a-roni from a box had its hiccups; over time I tended to get better results despite not consciously doing anything different. And if any recipe is going to be tested for reliability and ease of following by people who are barely able to cook, it will be the directions on a box of rice-a-roni.

[1] And he wasn't kidding about that. I had to use five times the amount of berbere indicated in that particular recipe to get it to taste right.
agreed. excellent read.

Olive oil is fine for browning as long as it isn't extra virgin olive oil. Refined olive oil can actually have a higher smoke pointe than rapeseed/canola oil.
I'm learning cooking as an adult (if I had to grade myself, I'd say "early-stage apprentice") and it's by far one of the most difficult things I've learned. One of the reasons is this:

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

And it's not only that. If you just eat a lot, you'll know what things are supposed to look like when they are done. However, the difficult part is knowing what intermediate stages are supposed to look/smell/feel like! If you get it wrong at T=15 minutes, there might be no way to save the finished product at T=30 minutes, however hard you try.

And that intermediate stage you don't experience just by eating. That takes cooking and understanding.
The title edit saves characters but makes it less funny! Original title:

This is why I built Yumee (https://yumee.recipes), a social recipe sharing app where you can only share recipes that you have yourself cooked (and you need to share a picture of your creation). Makes it very real and you can build your cookbook own cookbook mixed with recipes from your friends and family
This is great news! I just yesterday installed VanillaOS, and I did kinda miss the "Vanilla" aspect. I have that when I install Gnome on Arch. But you can really feel the Ubuntu under the hood.
Thanks for the correction (that was who I meant).
> Lots of comments here are stating that typing is half baked in Python, and that if you gotta use types, you should use another language

... I thought this is how most of us use Python? I find it repulsive to use without types. type_hints enable me to use it for Software Engineering, and I get to keep the Data Science stack, which is solid gold.
Can't say for sure, but Neeva I don't think failed because they couldn't keep the business going. It was always a game of perseverance going up against Google Search that not only is free but has tremendous distribution advantages (through Android and Chrome).

DuckDuckGo is at it after all these years, building it brick by brick, if you will. Neeva's problem might have been the opportunity cost to their engineering and executive orgs in pursuing such a drawn out build. They'd rather latch onto something that could grow much faster, and frankly, Enterpise + LLMs is right in their alley. It is a nice pivot and not representative of much else (don't mean to discount that consumer products are hard, especially when the competition is BigTech themselves).
It's a shame there's no discernible external reason, or series of events, that would push young people towards left leaning ideologies.

Furthermore it's extraordinarily strange this began back in 2016.
The article actually DOES mention that... it's in the equation in the blackboard.
Having worked for a rival, I can confirm that all recipes for these mealbox companies do actually get made and tested in the test kitchens.
They said version 2 will be a midi generator, version 1 a midi controller. I have an OP-1 and OP-Z, looking to go in a different direction.

> Audiences want fast.

Audiences don't want long segments of monotonic action with predictable outcome. No need to show how to slice a kilo of onions. It doesn't sound like the chef videos you mentioned suffer from this, but your "want fast" generalization is off the mark.
I think the name fits perfectly, since the intent is for companies to use it with LLMs then the quality of the results is the same as you would get from asking a psychic.
The answer you don't want to hear and is bound to be extremely unpopular is: nothing. If the only way to effectively rein in online CSAM is to fatally compromise encryption, that's a price not worth paying. We have already sacrificed many a personal liberties at the altar of "think of the kids!!", and, as you mention, it's yet to prove effective at the task. A line has to be drawn somewhere.
I'm mostly thinking outside the scope of just this one example. Even good recipes have a lot of variability in cooking time. The differences between how hot people cook at home and how hot they cook in commercial spaces is one of the ones that's hardest to control for (unless you want to remodel your kitchen...)
> Even semi professional chefs need to figure out what flavour combinations need to go together, amounts of each item, etc.

No they do not. Haven't you ever tasted something and said "this needs salt?"

Once you know what x+y tastes like and y+z tastes like, you can sometimes imagine what x+z would truly taste like; Any two things you think might taste good together probably do, for just as surely as you can imagine what something looks like, or sounds like, you can imagine what something tastes like.

The amounts generally remain the same orders of magnitude so even if they're not to your taste, the dish will probably "work", and if it doesn't, home cooks have priors:

Everyone has a crap oven, or high/low humidity or altitude or whatever, so there isn't a single recipe that would work for everyone, and I think most home-cooks know this! Hasn't a recipe ever turned out badly for you?

So if there are any issues they might have with a recipe, I could believe they would blame their skill and/or their kit, and/or adjust a few times before they ever blamed the recipe, because surely that can't be true!

> Plus every modern recipe has pictures to show what the result should look like. I

We have hi-resolution AI pictures all the time on this very site that people can't tell from fiction, and food surprises you?

C'mon! You can get pictures of just about anything from stock photography services. At newspaper-dpi nobody is going to notice!

> I just don’t believe she would get anything approximating a good result from this.

Well I guess it depends what exactly you mean by a "a good result..."
This is glib to the point of being misinformation in the other direction.

1. All Windows native apps were cooperatively multitasked. Only DOS boxes were pre-emptively multitasked. When your GUI locks up because some random app got into an infinite loop you're not going to sit there thinking "Oh goody, my dos box is still usable (or would be, if I could switch to it)".

2. Even then, virtual x86 mode was a 386-only feature. Windows on older machines ran in "standard mode" which featured no pre-emptive multitasking at all (DOS boxes only ran in the foreground).

3. DOS as a whole was not unloaded, only the command line portion, COMMAND.COM, was. (This was how DOS was designed to work, to free up as much memory as possible for th foreground program). Device drivers (.SYS) stayed loaded, because...

4. Windows could use DOS drivers, and it was very common, particularly in the early days, to have a CD-ROM or network device which didn't have native Windows support. For these devices Windows would call the DOS routines as usual. (I'm pretty sure, but not certain, that this was the only route Windows would take on non-386 machines.)

On the other hand, on 386, it was indeed possible to configure Windows in 386 Enhanced Mode with the correct driver set such that it was not using any DOS services, and you could run as many DOS boxes as you liked without fear of one of them locking up the rest of the system.
Musician here, most of us (the ones that aren't also programmers) just have to pay up the arse every time for every thing.

I've been teaching myself keys the last few years and had been planning to one day get myself a big $6k stage keyboard, when I felt that I had sufficiently developed to warrant it.

I have since tried out Zynthian, and my conclusion was that with a pianoteq license and a good controller, I can have way more functionality and sounds and every thing for a small fraction of the price of that Nord.

Your comment is fascinating, because domination of music is one of the pillars of Mac's success. If they're not just neglecting that, but actively screwing with people... They've lost the plot. Like so many giant piles of capital masquerading as a company.
I'm curious. Why are European Governments from the UK to Spain suddenly trying to ban end-to-end encryption.

I mean I would be extremely surprised if agencies such as the GCHQ were unable to crack or completely circumvent end-to-end encrypted messages (and any well-funded signals intelligence agency that claims it's unable to do so, should be required to give an accounting of what it spends it's budget on), so why the sudden desire to ban it?

Wouldn't it be better to give the bad guys a false sense of security to lull them into using seemingly secure end-to-end encrypted messaging apps, and then quietly gather evidence against them?
The machines will take away your guitar. When people abandon making music, guitars will be in less demand, and become more expensive. New players will have to rely on old sources for learning, because almost nobody will be interested in keeping them up to date or producing new content. And when the old sources go (and they inevitable do), that will be lost as well, and popular music fades away, al niente.
So we agree that banning books on the topic of diversity is part of the problem, right? Because the bans don't add anything to the time and skills needed to teach reading or maths.
I remember seeing articles about peoples inability to afford or purchase naloxone so unless this is significantly cheaper I don't see how this improves the situation.
It doesn't strike me as a breakthrough when these treatments have been around for decades (60 years!) but people still just can't get their hands on them.

Jamie Oliver's books are pretty decent in that regard, the old ones that is.
Cool stuff! I used Push 2 for a long time and I really enjoyed the workflow with it. I decided to sell it since most of my music work shifted to using Logic so didn't have much use for it anymore. Until quite recently, I had this scratching itch to rebuy Push 2 and start playing around with it, just to notice that it's sold out everywhere. I had a feeling that they will release Push 3 quite soon, so great to see it out finally. Maybe I need to start using Ableton again!
I agree, but one lesson I've learned from fifty years of music obsession is that people mostly don't like good music.
Really nicely done, the visuals really react well to the music. I am myself not a big fan of lofi but can imagine having this on as a nice background with some ambient music.
Definitely noticed that trend. Quality of food offerings has also dropped dramatically to the point where I sometimes rather just fast

It does still offer access to power points though which can be hard in some airports
Is not the species, is the old valuable individuals that are alive monuments. For example, ashes are frequent species, but 500 Yo ashes are very rare (The species can live this time but 99,99% are killed when they are less than 100 Yo). If you have a 500 Yo ash you may want to protect it. At this moment many temperate forests are like seeing a city when all inhabitants where 10 years old or less. This is not really OK. There is a problem here. People in cities are very afraid of trees and chomp it at the tiniest ludicrous excuses.

In any case Yuccas, like the Joshua Tree, are very easy to transplant and even easier to clone, so is just a question of throwing more engineering efforts at this problem because the trees can be moved and stand drough periods. Their biology allows to put a Joshua tree in an hangar and let it without any soil or water for a month. They just don't care. The main problem is to avoid breaking the branches. Easily fixable if you wrap the tree before

In the desert each tree counts also, as water container, so the more they have of a frequent species, the better for humans inhabiting the area.
This doesn't even just apply to developers. The same is true for managers, all levels of HR, ...
Helpful, probably not but not meant to be. Relevant, I think so. It's a joke with some truth behind it, relax a little.
Nice sensationalism. Did you take into account the fact that more humans die from cold rather than hot temperatures?

Clouds will die? Where are you getting your nonsense from? Plankton dying also makes no sense, and in fact, there are significantly more plants thanks to CO2.

The only real problem with humanity is that the media can get humanity to jump off a cliff if they wanted to, or even with an honest mistake.
How do people survive ???.
I know in Venezuala people barter and trade used good bypassing the formal economy.
Why call it THOR when it uses microwaves rather than bolts of electricity?

More expensive but I think small, fast drone interceptors would be better. Show them the target and then let the machine guide it there, squirt out some 5 cent netting and the target drone is toast if they use a propellor, if they use some sort of jet then hmm. Just have like 500g of explosive in the interceptor I guess.
How many people are interested in folk music? Very few. And in earlier tribal music much less. Any development will stay local, and nobody will be able to stand on the shoulders of giants.
To be clear, it's not me who's bringing up the authority of anyone, it's the article's author who does: he's the one calling people "giants of AI".

Which he clearly does to give his own article authority, that it wouldn't have otherwise. He wouldn't write a whole Substack piece to criticise something some random, anonymous user of FB, HN or Twitter wrote. He has to comment on the "giants of AI", otherwise his piece is basically irrelevant, just another voice adding more noise on top of the constant cacophony of opinions on the net.

The same way, when Geoff Hinton resigned from Google, a whole bunch of articles in the lay press (The Guardian, NYT, others I don't remember but scanned briefly) introduced him as "The Godfather of AI". A clear ploy to make the article interesting to people who have no idea who Geoff Hinton is, or what he's done for "AI" to be called its "godfather" *.

It would be much more straightforward for the article author to criticise the opinions he disagrees with by saying something like "Yann LeCun says so and so. I disagree because this and that". No need to say anyone is a giant of anything, to make a big, splashy impression to your reader. If your opinion has weight, it can make a splash all by itself. If it doesn't, tying it up to a "giant" will only make it sink faster.

HN has a similar guideline, in fact:

>> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Basically, an appeal to authority is really the flip side of an ad-hominem: it tries to shift attention to the person, and away from what they said.

Yes. There are exceptions, but they are few and far between.

I do have a few heuristics for pure recipe books:

1) the recipes have short lists of ingredients. There is a tendency to include obscure or hard to get ingredients for the sake of it, even if it's impossible to taste in the final product, I guess as a source of pride for home cooks.

2) the recipes discuss possible failures and ways around them. Especially with baking, there is inherent variability in ingredients, so you can tell the author prepared the dish many times before when they saw things going wrong and worked around that.

3) not always easy to find out, but the author being a professional working chef (not a celebrity chef) is a good sign. There is no time for unnecessary embellishments in a working kitchen, things must be robust and as simple as possible for the given final result.

The best example I've seen so far were David Lebovitz's recipes. Always stripped down to bare necessities, with multiple contingencies discussed, robust and simple. You can tell that's something that can be made dozens times a day with consistent results. Too bad it's so rare.

Depends, does the android user in the example use all of them at once? Then yes. If not it's an unhealthy relationship. Still better than the abusive marriage that is the apple ecosystem.

I don't know what they do today, they probably fixed it. But a company that actively hides any other devices from bluetooth pairing but their own is ridiculously user hostile. I don't understand how they get away with it, some even argue it's a feature.
Could you enlighten me and list some of these "obvious reasons"? Also, since you say "naturally", I assume there are sources you might be able to point at?
Perhaps relating to your other comment; is it theoretically possible to inject yourself into this logic? I.e., extend a general CRDT to be a domain specifc one, and do custom resolution before the "truth" is established?
