When Animal Crossing blends between a different composition for every hour of the in-game clock, with variants for different weather conditions, is that not changing based on "time of day, environment, situation, mood, etc"? When Doom dynamically ramps the intensity of the music along with the intensity of combat, and inserts perfectly synchonized stings in time with the players actions is that not reacting to the situation? That's what I mean by this already having been done, just not with AI.

AI has the potential to consider more variables than is feasible with the current process, but my question is "at what cost". Would Doom be better if the music were slightly different depending on which weapon you were holding, if the trade-off is that instead of Mick Gordons work it was a computer generating what may as well be royalty free elevator music? Probably not.

Making more content for less money is only a net positive if the content is actually good.

No idea, but when you build C projects you have to tell the compiler/linker where to look for the library with sdl2-config:

Have you tried that?
I'm not getting this, so you should check whether your browser contains any malicious extensions.
I'm an Australian lawyer and we have things called sentencing guidelines. They are basically precedent or rules for sentencing specifically. Depends on the crime as well whether it is featured in the guidelines.

That all depends on how you set it up. Generally speaking a lot of WebRTC is about how the connection negotiates the parameters of the delivery of the different media, including codecs, resolution, etc. One track can be delivered over a connection in multiple different ways at once as well.

If you want to know more you're probably best off going through the MDN docs about the WebRTC browser API and learning from that.
Ah that's sort of a bummer -- same title and everything (initially).

Hopefully they will notice this thread and comment though, or the threads can be merged.
Think of it as threads stepping over each other modifying and reading the same mutable state, vs threads that work in their own sandbox and share mostly immutable state. The former require a lot more alignment and synchronization. Software has a lot more “shared state” and “ad hoc” decision making than say a sanitary worker each taking a floor in an office building and doing the same thing they do every time. Discipline and control is another matter. I was assuming everyone is acting in good faith.
Apple Photos shouldn’t download videos on device when creating albums
I don’t get it. Apple could just use pointers to the videos and photos and let us put the selected items in an album. But instead, it always uses data and storage space to download all the selected items on iphone before creating an album. This is insane.
At least most of us have the ability to engage in a discussion about it. You seem to be here to do some backslapping with people who agree with you, and you have no response to a refutation of your normie opinion that He KiLL tHrEe PeOpLe = bAd. Keep on with those deep thoughts that fixate on who Kaczynski killed and never turn that ire towards your government or society. Real brave of you.
Ask HN: Shouldn’t Active Noise Cancellation make your hearing worse?
Lets say I’m putting on my ANC headphones.

The sound outside is 60db.

The headphones producing a 60db noise to cancel the surrounding sound (using ANC) PLUS the music.

So your ear is receiving the 60db surrounding sound PLUS the 60db noise of the headphone (ANC) PLUS the music.

(60db surrounding+60db ANC+music)

Isn’t this worse than turning noise cancellation off? (Because you won’t be receiving the 60db noise that ANC is producing…)

Disclaimer: I’m no doctor here and my understanding on how ANC works might be wrong.
> I remember it felt like the author was rationalizing his own emotional state into a philosophy supposedly explaining society.

Your intuition is correct. Here's TK's own words on the matter [0]:

> But even leaving aside all questions of “political” utility and considering only my personal predilections, I have little interest in philosophical questions such as the desirability or undesirability of the “herd mentality.” The mountains of Western Montana offered me nearly everything I needed or wanted. If those mountains could have remained just as they were when I first moved to Montana in 1971, I would have been satisfied. The rest of the world could have had a herd mentality, or an individualistic mentality or whatever, and it would have been all the same to me. But, of course, under modern conditions there was no way the mountains could have remained isolated from the rest of the world. Civilization moved in and squeezed me, so…

> An impressive number of 4chan's /g/ users are on github. Some even actively contribute to Linux (though usually to Arch, Gentoo, and now more and more Nix).

An aside about this from a moderately longtime Nix user and very occasional Nixpkgs contributor:

I used to occasionally post about Nix on /g/ before virtually anyone there knew what it was just to gauge reactions, and boy were people shitty and dismissive about it. It was all hot takes, broad strokes, and very little curiosity about the technical details. And even though Nix is 'cool' on /g/ now, all of those things are still true about the way /g/ treats NixOS and other distros.

The interest that 90% of /g/ users have in Linux distros like NixOS is as a bullshit status symbol, a token in some consumerist identity game. The presence of that shallow, status-obsessed, needlessly edgy type of person in the Nix community is definitely more visible in the Nix(OS) community now than it was a few years ago, but it still sticks out like a sore thumb against the backdrop of longtime Nix users and the culture they've evolved together.

For that reason, I strongly recommend engaging with the Nix community in community-owned channels, like discourse.nixos.org or the community Matrix channels, rather than message boards like 4chan or mainstream social media platforms like Reddit. If you do that, you'll find kinder, more knowledgeable people (and perhaps in some cases, kinder more knowledgeable personas for the same people).

If you're reading this and you've unfortunately encountered Nix 'evangelists' with those shitty attitudes online, please understand that those influences are external to the community, and as far as most participants in the community are concerned, quite unwelcome.
That is needlessly convoluted and leads to many externalities and unintended consequences.

Straight forward, simple, easy to implement and audit solutions are best for society.

Sure, let’s take wealth from richer people and give it to poorer people, but handle that via taxes, not via the road congestion pricing in certain parts of Manhattan.
All other fuels depend on hydrogen when producing from electricity and have a lower efficiency. Ammonia as a fuel is difficult to handle. Carbohydrates like natural gas or e-fuels depend on carbon capture which is still very expensive/inefficient and they also burn much more dirty emitting particulate matter.

There are also some disadvantages of hydrogen though: Low volumetric density makes transport in anything but pipelines much less efficient compared to carbohydrates. That includes fuel tanks which makes hydrogen for aeroplanes unlikely. Also there's no existing infrastructure compared to existing oil and gas infrastructure.
I'm pretty sure it was to 99% used in research papers.
You can go a long way with LMMS or Ardour and free sample packs. Most big sample production companies provide royalty-free samplers. The free stuff from Sonniss (GDC freebies) and Black Octopus Sound could last an entire career.

Great product! I gave it a try and was really impressed!

One thing: Could your team have an explanation somewhere on the home page to help the users understand how their private code is being handled (locally and when the chat request happen)?

The only place I could find that information is on the HN launch thread, would be nice if it's available in the home page!
The data stops before it gets to useful sizes (10e7 and up). How are people implementing sorting algorithms not routinely working at 10e9-10e12 where the workload is actually a bottleneck?
It was the height of the pandemic and shortages. I guess it could be a lot cheaper today.

> An estimate is that around 2,000 Chinese Indonesians were killed (out of a total estimated death toll of between 500,000 and 3 million people), with documented massacres taking place in Makassar, Medan and Lombok island. [...] Ethnic Balinese and Javanese made up the vast majority of people who were massacred.

> the average citizen

Killings were primarily directed by the army, which did so with an explicitly anti-communist bent facilitated by the US.

[2]

> With very few exceptions, the killings were not spontaneous but carried out with a high degree of organisation. Most of the victims were also detainees of the Indonesian Army, making the killings summary executions.

> Despite a consensus at the highest levels of the U.S. and British governments that it would be necessary "to liquidate Sukarno", as related in a CIA memorandum from 1962, and the existence of extensive contacts between anti-communist army officers and the U.S. military establishment – training of over 1,200 officers, "including senior military figures", and providing weapons and economic assistance – the CIA denied active involvement in the killings. Declassified U.S. documents in 2017 revealed that the U.S. government had detailed knowledge of the mass killings from the beginning and was supportive of the actions of the Indonesian Army. U.S. complicity in the killings, which included providing extensive lists of PKI officials to Indonesian death squads, has previously been established by historians and journalists.

The opposition from NJ is the double dipping of already high bridge and tunnel tolls along with the new congestion toll. They also have a really meager fixed discount for motorcycles which has diminished in value as the tolls have risen over the years.
I understand the technical point being made but it seems to be missing the point.

Why isn’t it good enough to have a whole bunch of idiosyncratic privately run discussion forum communities spread across many different websites and servers and so on?

We had that before Reddit and many examples still exist, it seems like it was closer to the ideal than Usenet ever was.
You can make you your custom domain your account address and just delete the Fastmail address if you want.
Search for “duck curve.” The problem is lack of cheap storage. A secondary system of mostly gas turbine generation has to ramp up when the sun goes down. As it stands every day at dusk California experiences the equivalent of around 10 nuclear power plants shutting down. (I guess in reality it’s one big fusion power plant going offline…)

The problem with online forums is the need for moderation. Decentralisation doesn't make moderation irrelevanty in fact it becomes more relevant because people have to store other people's data

The took the giant overkill design meant to hold a hot Intel chip and possibly multiple big GPUs, and put a M2 Ultra in it.

It’s overcooled. There is no way it’s thermally limited. It’s got to have headroom for days.

I’m very curious where this idea I keep seeing in the comments that Apple refuses to run chips at full speed for cooling reasons comes from.

As a long time Linux enthusiast and engineer this needs to be said and it's been overlooked for way too long. We need to figure out how to move past some of the traditional UNIX ways of doing things like apps keeping plaintext passwords in 'hidden' dotfiles.

Even simple things would go a long way like making it straight forward to install packages from distro repositories in userspace. Every time you install a desktop app via the package system you're rolling the dice by giving the package root access. In fact that should be the default behavior for installing the vast majority of Linux apps. If an app doesn't legitimately need root access for anything we shouldn't grant it to begin with.

Don't get me wrong Linux distros do a great job at maintaining security overall but these projects are massive now and in the age of supply chain attacks and hostile nation-state actors all it will take is one package to slip through to cause a major security incident. The Solarwinds hack was the proverbial canary in the coalmine. If it can happen to them it can happen to anyone. It's not a matter of if now but when.
you hear opposite signals hence the name “cancellation”, so you actually hear less than 60dB.
UI in the world of terraform and pulumi where some companies even block UI access in prod?
I think it will be a wholesome natural interface, so I imagine some form of a LLM will be included which can be used to actually make the interface elements work and connect them to the outside world, while having the possibility to design and modify the interface you are building with your hands/fingers (think Interface Builder, but spatial).

If they manage to pull something like this off and be first to market I guess Magic Leap, HoloLens, and whatever Meta is cooking up (if they still are doing something in that space anyway) will very likely be pretty much dead, by the way.

Ah okay. I mistook you for an American who just flipflops on whatever is currently pushed, but I see that you are just a nationalist. Which I think is far more acceptable, if you actually are not a hypocrite about it, like being a nationalist for a country where you do not live in or don't even have a citizenship for.
What do you mean by Twitch's bandwidth cap? Obviously Twitch supports more than 100 viewers, so is this an upstream cap from the streamer or a downstream per user cap or something different all together.

A glace over Twitch's broadcasting guidelines was not enlightening, but I'm clueless in these matters.
While you are allowed to enter the intersection during a yellow, you are also considered legally to have been warned and would be consider liable if doing so causes an accident.

This extra liability would seem like making self driving cars error on the side of stopping to be in the interests of auto makers who would be exposed to that liability.
If you're the kind of person who throws away plastic bags and doesn't re-use them as trash bags, please have the decency to cut the handles.

Do your cotton bags have over 5000 trips to the grocery store over the last decade? If not, you may be carbon negative compared to single-use plastic bags (not counting the re-usability as trash bags).

As a counter point: these Tesla videos are much more common because there are more Teslas driving around with the feature enabled.

We don't know of the Mercedes is as much of a murder machine based on the little material from their FSD system there is.

All self driving car manufacturers have videos of their cars doing the most ridiculous things. It's hard to pick one above the other. At least Mercedes seems to have documented their limitations rather than assumed their system works everywhere, so that's a good sign to me.
You do you. Just don't try to force people through legislation to adopt your style. Nobody wants to ban your cotton bag.
google has made the lives of people easier by providing free services like youtube, maps, email and a few others. They have the right to put ads on their stuff and make revenue out of that. what this guy is actually bad for people. imagine if people all of a sudden start using invidious and stop using youtube then there will not be youtube in this future. A lot of people feel the same.

Does anyone who recognizes himself in the persona of the article have any insights into handling long todo lists. I understand the idea if listing one task, but you inevitably have a list of dozens of stuff. So even if you make a seperate list with one to focus on, I seem to push down certain things for ever. Tending to pock and choose the easy or very urgent ones.
More open windows.

But in all seriousness, you can have a tree of small code windows connected by various dependencies. So it will be much easier to see a piece of code and it’s uses / definitions, and thus understand a codebase’s architecture

I did an internship at IBM Hawthorn so I’m familiar with parking in the city. It’s actually doable (or was doable?) in midtown near Columbia, and it actually made sense for my girlfriend at the time. The public transit system isn’t that great when you are commuting between West Chester county. And traffic in NYC is weird. Like, going into the city isn’t a problem, especially if you are going in at night. But take one step out to Long Island…and you are snarled in traffic for hours.

My comment about poorer people being more affected I believe is still valid even if it’s the right thing to do. The people who are forced to commute by car generally don’t have better options.

It would be much worse if they tried this in Seattle, but we also need it as well, it just won’t be something only the rich are suffering (like in NYC).
Perhaps, but those would be the very different PCs. Also while exist, 500W+ desktops are rare, and their performance are not comparable to Mac Minis.
Do you have a self driving car? Because no one does.

Since enhancements (and “enhancements”) are going to get more pervasive, it feels like a good time for smartphones and cameras to add a “scientific” setting that only stores the unprocessed sensor data.
Gotta love the terrorist sympathizers in the comments. Always bet on a certain side of the political spectrum to violate the ‘force is only justified in response to force’ rule when they find it convenient.
Trains for local transportation make no sense. Trams for high-throughput and buses for everything else is the only sensible thing for local public transport.
Copilot understands some convetions when there’s more than one way. I used it extensively with react bootstrap where I decided to go with the recommended way of

It also knows which components are used in the file.

That was teen years ago, remember. All I can say is that these guys are extremely knowledgeable, kind and an absolute joy to work with. Big shout out to Eberhard, Carsten, Christoph, Clemens and Thao, and to the ones not appearing in the video, like Uwe (enjoy your retirement), David and Henning and a lot others from the chair of Christoph Stiller and from Mercedes research.
I’m pretty sure the reason why people are against the image being used is that <insert field here> (image processing in this case) used to be a male dominated field, and the use of an arguably contextually misogynistic image could make female researchers in the field uncomfortable and/or less included, etc. I really don’t think setting an example for children has anything to do with it.

GPON is typically shared bandwidth; 2.5Gbps for n customers (that could be an entire building, or the 4 houses adjacent to a box in the backyard, etc.)

More advanced fiber networks split bandwidth based on frequency ("color") instead of giving each ONT a time slot based on the current network capacity. But basically, if you're uploading at 1Gbps, that is fine until 1.5 more neighbors decide to do the same thing. It's rare. When I worked at Google Fiber we kept an eye on PON utilization and there was never a case where a customer couldn't get the requested bandwidth. We even had customers that maxed out 1Gbps/1Gbps 24/7 in an attempt to get banned or something, but of course we wouldn't ban you for that. We did worry about PON capacity and had some tech ready to go in case we ever needed to switch to truly dedicated per-customer gigabit connections.

At another ISP I worked at, our marketing material described the 1Gbps GPON-based link as "dedicated", but many customers noticed it was shared. It would slow down during peak business hours, and then get fast when other people in the building went home from work. We removed the term "dedicated" from our marketing. A political battle that I paid dearly for, but hey, they still exist and didn't get sued into oblivion by the FTC, so that's nice. (We also sold frequency-multiplexed 10Gbps circuits that really were dedicated... I suppose until our uplink to our ISP was saturated. I think we had 100Gbps transit and that never happened. But yeah, there is no such thing as dedicated unless you are physically plugged into the network that you want to reach. The Internet tries its best.)
