Even just some deliberative practice for a home cook can make a big difference. I am absolutely, positively not in the professional league. I'd be drummed out of any professional kitchen in the first five minutes. But I'm also way faster, better, more able to recover and improvise than I was twenty years ago, because I deliberately tried to stretch my skills a bit. Not a lot. Just a bit every so often. Over 20+ years it adds up.
I distinctly remember that I had some transcription of songs from the ...and Justice For All album that were in a special edition of some guitar magazine from the nineties, and they seemed to be really on point. Later I bought the full official transcription book, and boy was that a letdown. Completely different transcriptions that in parts didn't even make sense (IIRC, I haven't checked in a while).

The really sad thing is I cannot find that old magazine any more, at best it is somewhere in my parents house in the attic in an unmarked box, at worst it got lost while moving. But yeah, that was the first time young me realized these transcriptions were not, in fact, noted down by the musicians, but done by a 3rd party whose listening and guitar playing skill differed a lot from the actual musicians and writers. I approached all other sheet music with a very high degree of caution after that "incident".
How is it becoming more useful? Arguably it is more difficult to use for buying selling, plus if I spend it I'm taxed as if I sold an equity.

It's value is pegged to the dollar so we can see massive shifts in its "value" constantly happening.

There are almost an infinite number of cryptocurrencies and new ones still being created. Each is a different currency, so how should we determine which of these fake currencies actually have value and which don't?
It's a completely volunteer job. Why do it if it's so horrible? Especially for free, for a corporation like Reddit? Either it's not as horrible as it is being often portrayed or the mods get something out of it too.
Just click accept, everything will be ok.
That's correct!

PyPI's support for PGP is very old -- it's hard to get an exact date, but I think it's been around since the very earliest versions of the index (well before it was a storing index like it is now). If I had to guess (speculate wildly), my guess would be that the original implementation was done with a healthy SKS network and strong set in mind -- without those things, PGP's already weak identity primitives are more or less nonexistent with just signatures.

This is so on par with Frank Herbert's prophecy from Dune: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
I agree with you on the Circuit - I haven't owned one but I learned enough to teach someone else the basics (on an original, not the Tracks) and it's very well thought out.

I had a (current model) Electribe and it was a bit frustrating, lots of features are technically there but too fiddly/time-consuming to use.

The OP-Z is not in the Thomann list, but I find that to be excellent - and not expensive compared to the OP-1. A rare example of an experts-only UI, it needs to be learned properly in order to do anything really, but once you know how to do it it's nice.

If Behringer ever releases their "HiroTribe" thing that might be a very compelling option on the budget end of the spectrum.

Is the actual working of the intelligence alliance known?

I'm sure the PR departments proclaim that this is the agreement, but afaik there are no legal grounds to hold them accountable to that.
I wonder how many contractors they have cut, and if these numbers include any. When I worked in tech at Disney, the number of contractors was quite high. All new people would work minimum 2 years as a contractor. Then move to a new contract within Disney, or get converted to FTE.
Daily Mail being confused. The list is the one from 2022.
It seems like most news outlets treat "tech workers" as anyone who works at a "tech" company. I wonder if they would call her a "construction worker" if she worked in the same capacity for a construction company.
The stats I can find show that 95%+ of Americans have less than $100k of savings, and much of savings is in non-cash means, so $250k per account seems completely sufficient to consider that yes, people are protected.

What matters is whether the cost of human-level machine intelligence is dramatically cheaper than the cost today of human intelligence (via employment)

If the cost of intelligent AI is dramatically cheaper, society will change overnight and there’s little we can do to stop it. There’s no way to design a global treaty when defection results in massive massive cost savings.

If the cost of intelligent AI is dramatically more expensive, there’s zero risk of a rogue AI taking over the world. who would waste that kind of money delegating unnecessary tasks to an AI? So it will never have the keys to the kingdom because it’s cheaper to have a human hold on to those keys.
To other extents, we section those who inflict harm upon themselves or are a danger to others. Our social norms are fairly inconsistent on this and it's easy to make a case (though not widely accepted) that the sort of maladaptive social media use by older adults is both a form of psychic self harm and a danger to society.

> Why do we use GPG ASC signatures instead of just a checksum over the same channel?

You can include an md5sum or a sha512sum string next to the URL that the package is downloaded from (for users to optionally check after downloading a package); but if that checksum string is uploaded over the same channel (HTTPS/TLS w/ a CA cert bundle) as the package, the checksum string could have been MITM'd/tampered with, too. A cryptographically-signed checksum can be verified once the pubkey is retrieved over a different channel (GPG: HKP is HTTPS/TLS with cert pinning IIRC), and a MITM would have to spend a lot of money to forge that digital publisher signature.

Twine COULD/SHOULD download uploads to check the PyPI TUF signature, which could/should be shipped as a const in twine?

And then Twine should check publisher signatures against which trusted map of package names to
trusted keys?
Ya, but there are many more people who spend years busting their asses in menial jobs who are never rewarded for it.

The potential of a loss is pretty good I think.
In general, pay in other branches of engineering even is pretty skewed relative to at least software salaries in Big Tech and adjacent. That was not really true historically and, arguably, it's self-correcting to some degree. If CS/EE had been the obvious high salary opportunity among engineering majors when I was an undergrad, it's not like I was really that wedded to the field I went into--and indeed didn't really work as a mechanical engineer for all that long.
> Middle class people aren’t the secretary to the prime minister.

That sounds quite normal, actually.

But the middle class (the petit bourgeoisie) is a small, economically elite class. It is in the middle between the working class that makes up the vast majority and the even narrower haut borgeoisie — the major capitalists whose relation to the economy centers on control of capital to which rented labor is applied.

Unfortunately, people sometimes confuse the middle class with the middle income segment of the working class, which is a very different thing. (And that confusion is often deliberately exploited.)
Do you have links to those computer models? Do they take into account induced demand?

And still, even if autonomous cars are drastically more efficient, with a passenger per car the space use is still drastically less efficient (even the biggest highways will have a fraction of the capacity of a proper metro).
Fundamentally, the research industry requires continuous exponential growth to accommodate everyone working there. Each PI trains 10+ grad students in their career. Where do those students go? They all want to become PIs themselves. Otherwise why would they get a PhD? Ultimately the majority must be disappointed and leave for positions outside academia.

But leaving academia is a process that takes some time. First cognitively as you give up on your dreams and decide to leave. Then as you search for a new job with no real-world experience and few or no connections.

In the mean time, the pipeline between grad school and professorship gets longer and fuller. Postdocs were once extremely prestigious positions, a sort of "finishing school" for the elite. Now they're standard, and most people need to do more than 1. In practice it's a holding pattern, giving PhDs something to do while they try to struggle to the top of the heap and find an assistant professorship.

And the actual experience of a postdoc! Leave all your friends and move to a new city. Work 60 hours a week for $45k a year. Have the rest of your career controlled by your PI, who you maybe met a few times before you decided to work for them, who has never had any kind of management training, and is under their own severe pressure to publish and bring in new grants. Compete against other brilliant, driven people, many of whom are abusing stimulants, and/or are immigrants with no safety net and willing to work 80+ hours.

> The backstory that seems to have been forgotten here is that self driving cars are still a money bleeding endeavor. It's why Uber sold its own self driving division and it's something Cruise has said in the past still needs to be figured out.

Uber sold their self driving division because they killed someone in Arizona due to negligence. And then Anthony Lewandowski happened. Those two incidents complete deflated Uber's hopes to have autonomous vehicle technology. I'm pretty sure they would still be pursuing self driving if not for those incidents.

I'm literally only doing this because tinkering on computers in high school got me skills that had me accidentally landing jobs that paid better than anything I actually wanted to do, with comically little effort. Never intended to do it as a living, don't really like it (and like it less every year), but don't want a 50-70% pay cut in middle-age, either.
Yep, didn't spell that out - but indeed, this.
Thanks!

Yes, "realtime multiple" is audio/speech length divided by actual inference time.

You got it! The demo video is showing the slowest response times because it is using the highest quality/accuracy settings available with Whisper (large-v2, beam 5). Willow devices use medium 1 by default for comparison and those responses are measured in the 500 milliseconds or less range (again depending on speech length) across a wide variety of new and old CUDA hardware. Some sample benchmarks here[0].

Applications using WIS (including Willow) can provide model settings on a per-request basis to balance quality vs latency depending on the task.

VC funding gap puts Europe’s climate targets at risk, report warns
Too many people are concerned with the language's creator, how much he is working on, how many people love or hate him, what his motives are, what he wrote in a comment four years ago, and what he had for breakfast this morning.

These comments are always the same: "Elm is great, but..." Then they dig up some drama about its creator with a years-old post. If the language is great, then maybe they should use it and stop fretting about the person who made it.
The irony is that Bitcoin was created in direct response to the perceived shortcomings of the traditional financial system (see the message in the genesis block), but since then the traditional financial system has cleaned itself up enormously, while cryptocurrency has had the exact opposite trajectory and is now nothing more than a magnet for actual or latent fraudsters.
>I like exceptions. You can't get away from them, I know Haskell tried, Rust tried, they still have exceptions (perhaps they call them by a different name though)

Rust has no exceptions in any sense of the word. Exceptions are ways to crash the program in a controlled manner with the ability for these crashes to be caught midway before the program crashes and handled correctly.

In rust you can only crash it explicitly using the panic! Macro. No handling.

The different name you are looking for is "errors". Rust has errors as do all programs. Some programs have exceptions to handle those errors. Rust does not.

If you mean "runtime crashes" then elm is the only language that is popular that uses has no runtime crashes.
>A genocidal human with access to a rogue AI could ask it to find ways to destroy humanity or a large fraction of it. This is different from the nuclear bomb scenario (which requires huge capital and expertise and would “only” destroy a city or region per bomb, and a single bomb would have disastrous but local effects).

Why should we imagine that the individual genocidal human with his or her rogue AI has access to methods of destruction which do not require "huge capital" but which have global effects?

If there really is a risk here it seems quite naive to think some regulations are going to prevent them: Whereas it’s hard to build a nuke at home it’s relatively straightforward to train a model. If a recipe exists to cause havoc someone’s gonna do it.
Great interface. Questions:

> The process for creating and revising the contracts is modeled after an open-source software project
Which Open Source Project? Could you link it please?

What do you mean by Open Source Contracts? Do you mean community edits & maintains contract templates?

Do you have APIs to integrate?

Do you have your own way of signing contracts or use third party tools like DocuSign?
This is just asking for a long off-topic thread but as one of HN's resident SSO nerds: you don't have to listen to people demanding that you eliminate the "SSO tax". Paying for SSO is super annoying, and I'd rather not pay it either, but I'd even less rather see companies go out of business because they're not generating revenue. This "tax" is popular because it's one of the more effective customer segmentation levers that exists.

Since this is (apparently) one of a zillion companies to do this, I think we should probably just treat this as off-topic and make our great stand on Rob's sso.tax page somewhere else.
No. Your attempt is now just shards of glass. It's borked. Before it was broken, it didn't work, but now its broken.
Perhaps capitalism?

The days of providing new products to the eager market are gone. It simply no longer pays to hire more people and let them solve other people's problems. It's an all-out class war (fighting against unions, bribing politicians, colluding to suppress wage growth and so on) with capitalists infighting about who gets how large share of the emerging rent economy (communications, housing, transportation, food).
Really? Which soundcard? I’ve always understood the core audio stuff to be very hassle free. That sounds like a huge problem and I’m really surprised the manufacturer didn’t fix that immediately unless it’s very legacy hardware.

He apparently got divorced and moved out of his home country. And here he has no social circle. There are of course hopeless cases, but he is not mentally ill, only alcoholic. It is possible that he will never overcome alcoholism, but it didn't look like he tried treating it or anyone suggested it to him.

It is easy to be lonely, I have talked to several charismatic and very cool people who complained about how hard it is to make friends in a new city. This combined with other negative factors can cause people to fall in a hole. (Of course, people who are delusional about their AI girlfriends like in /r/replika are also sad.)
Don't know about anyone else, but the reason I never bought Super Mario Run was because it required a constant internet connection, AND you had to create an account with Nintendo. (At the time, I had an iPod Touch rather than a phone with a cell connection, and usually kept Wi-Fi turned off to save battery, so I only played games that could run offline. So my situation was probably not common, but Nintendo's choices here still feel a bit invasive.)

> - I recently bought a monitor and plugged it in. Sound stopped working until I rebooted. Figured it out easily with pavucontrol of course (just toggling things) but only after reboot. Annoying but fair enough.

And that isn't a problem under GNOME ? Both use Pulseaudio...

Anyway I ended up resorting to writing some custom udev rules and some horrible hacks [0] to get my sound interface to work correctly; the interface was 2 in/4 out but it showed up as stereo in/4.0 out, and I needed dual mono + dual stereo outs. But as pulseaudio have no memory whatsoever on plugin config, it needs to be reapplied any time device is plugged in...

...and after upgrade ALSA of all things horribly broke it in different way [1], where someone added 500ms latency to default profile used to split device into sub-channels to"fix cracking" (that happened to only some users), and the interface I used was assigned that profile

Linux Sound story is by far my least liked part of it. And the new modern pipewire just hangs on my machine, not accepting any commands...

> Connecting/disconnecting monitors is flaky, sometimes it requires a few toggles in arandr (which already helps a lot). Maybe there is a better tool I could use?

I so far only experienced it with one flaky monitor at work, it looks like some deeply rooted problem. I guess if I had to solve it I'd just make some script trying to apply the profile and bind it to keys to quickly fix it. I don't think arandr is the culprit here, rather something between graphics server, driver, and monitor.

> Some wifi networks sometimes dont' work out of the box even though I'm just using the easy nm-applet.

I didn't had that problem in particular on laptop at least (also using nm-applet), but same thing works under GNOME ? IIRC it also uses network manager. We had some problems with users trying to use networkmanager for VPN and it not supporting all options plain OpenVPN did.

The most grief that networking gave me is actually systemd-resolved [2] but no good fix for that so far.

I feel like apps should be regulated to for example, only show up to 20 videos max on tiktok per day to prevent doom scrolling. I don't think preventing kids from accessing social media entirely is viable or reasonable.

Your understanding is a little off: we worked on integrating TUF into PyPI for a while, but ran into some scalability/distributability issues with the reference implementation. It's been a few years, but my recollection was that the reference implementation assumed a lot of local filesystem state, which wasn't compatible with Warehouse's deployment (no local state other than tempfiles, everything in object storage).

To the best of my knowledge, the current state of TUF for PyPI is that we performed a trusted setup ceremony for the TUF roots[1], but that no signatures were ever produced from those roots.

For the time being, we're looking at solutions that have less operational overhead: Sigstore[2] is the main one, and it uses TUF under the hood to provide the root of trust.

The fear that's present in the analogy is that AIs are dangerous because they will be able to do capitalism 1000x better than corporations. That alone should make us stop and pause for reflection.
