> OP-1 is targeted at music professionals.

This is so objectively untrue that when I read it I assumed it was a joke or somehow tongue in cheek.

Even at the height of its popularity, the OP-1 was rarely used by serious, professional producers ... for reasons that should be pretty obvious. It's a toy. When I say "used" I mean "found its way onto the final version of a track," and when I say "professional" I mean "someone who works in a studio or who produces music for a living." I owned one and enjoyed it, and by TE's frequent appearance on the front page, I'd say many here did as well.

The title of the link is also a stretch. I disagree, but I think it skates by. The Microkorg had a huge impact on music tech, but was also rarely used in the studio or on tracks (in part because of its bigger brother, the MS-2000).

EDIT: The title has been edited. I don't remember the one prior, but something like "...massively influenced music technology."
> You can absolutely limit user access to a subset of superuser commands.

Wasn't that limit basically just a string match?

I.e. when you're allowed to do sudo abinary the whitelist will accept whatever is behind that string?
So from what I recall, simply adding a new directory to the start of your path will let you execute your own script instead, giving you blanket root permission.
Same with chroot on absolute paths, right?

I don't expect support to get dropped from the Linux kernel. I meant that I expect things like DRM, video game anticheat, and corporate VPN host checks to start refusing to work unless you turn it off.
Which is why countries the US have embargoed have advanced leaps and bounds over their neighbors with trade relationships. Oh wait, it is the exact fucking opposite. Seriously it seems some people can't pry off their exploitation and imperialism goggles. The U.S. could commit imperialism by sitting quietly in another room in their minds.

I find that wallets are easy to buy once. The last wallet I bought was from 2016, made from leather, able to holding quite a few bit of cash and cards while maintaining slimness. I can't foresee needing another wallet until it broke, but it still hasn't broken from daily use since 2016.
It sometimes goes by different names, such as 'workspace' or 'screen'; but these days I think every major desktop OS has these.

It's just the name for "where the windows go".

So you might have your terminal full screen on one virtual desktop, and your browser on another virtual desktop, and use shortcuts to navigate from one to the other.
So this is how I find out how profoundly cheap my dad was :).

Thanks.
Could you be taking the word "writer" to mean something different than the author? In the context of the article what I got from that line was that it would be easier to teach a waiter to be a food critic/journalist than to teach a food critic/journalist to be a waiter, more than it meant "writer" in the broader sense. I sort of agree with that interpretation. I'm not good with names, but the only names that I can tell you off the top of my head when it comes to food "writers" are: Nikolaj Kirk and Anthony Bourdain and they are both chefs.
> I can't imagine that comes close to covering expenses

That's the fundamental problem with corporate-owned mediums. It is impossible for them to exist long term without being ruined by commercialization because that corporate owner must make a juicy profit sooner or later or else shut it down.

The only viable long term model is decentralization where nobody owns it, so nobody needs to profit from it and the operating costs are shared.

Email (1970s) and Usenet (early 80s) survive in perpetuity because of this (I know most people have forgotten about Usenet but it's still around). It's important to take these lessons to heart. Reinventing yet another proprietary platform with a single corporate owner just to see it inevitably die off when profits must be squeezed is exhausting and a treadmill we should get off of.
We use Seam, it's the best thing that is happening for the messy IoT integrations.
I recently became the head of the house and you gave a good idea. We will also soon need a program that recognizes faces, we want everyone who enters the entrance to be recorded by the camera. I wonder how much programmers will charge for their services, I want to calculate everything in advance. I followed your link, read it, this server interested me, I think that I will contact them, but for now I will bookmark the link, I think it will come in handy soon...
I bought my old (back then new) iPad 4 with my money, and despite having a great hardware, its software rendered it e-waste also years ago, without any actual reason beside "buy a new one". Is it better?
Lol you can ask Santa for a dictionary to help break you out of the fantasy world you’re living in.

You’re not advocating for anything. You jumped in and started being angry, swearing in the first post (which you edited out when the tiny lightbulb went off and you realised that was a dumb move) and then continued to be loud and aggressive and try to paint a non existent picture.

So I’ll continue living my awesome life while you keep living in a bubble thinking the whole world is against you and being angry at nothing.
> But the US M777 towed howitzer costs ~$3.7M (titanium) while the French Caesar costs $5-6M and can outrange the M777 in addition to driving away immediately after firing.

The US has the M109 which can serve in some of the same roles the Caesar can.

Also, does France have much rocket artillery? That might play a factor in the requirements for other artillery systems.
The modality of the data contains an amount of information comparable to the data itself. Telling ChatGPT that it's hearing music rather than a story would probably help it reason about it a lot.

On a lower level, you can't tell ChatGPT to reason about an image when its only input is a microphone.
I was using a broccoli rubber band as a wallet for years but they have a tendency to break after a while. Have settled on a metal binder clip and it’s worked much better - less friction in/out of pocket too
> Windows has sandboxing? Where?

Since Windows 8, WinRT applications are sandboxed.

It also has group policies and Win32 API that are used by the likes of Chrome for process sandboxing.

Deployments via MSIX packages also have a kind of lightweight sandoxing, as it builds upon WinRT, but on the classical Win32 side.

Now Microsoft is looking into bringing that everywhere, Windows 11 current preview already ships the first steps of full Win32 sandoxing being applied to classical applications, and on the roadmap application signing, with revocation of developer certificates, is already announced that is being worked on.

Automoderator is a bot. It does auto moderation tasks like spam removal.

Did you forget that you wrote 'top 50 subreddits?' That is the list of the mods for the top 100 subreddits and which top 100 subs they mod in. I am not sure how you think that makes it a 'gist'. I suggest you expand your ability to parse datasets properly.
Most of researchers' work is with formulas and reading articles. Even if you had a lab, you'd still need to think long and hard about what exactly you are trying to measure, and then design an experiment on paper before it can be carried out.

So it's possible, in theory, that an AI-in-a-box could do the hardest parts of science aside from experiments. Whether modern LLMs are any good at it is a different question.
Add a slide about AI. Fixed.
You can go see the Apollo 11 quarantine airstream trailer on display onboard the USS Hornet in Alameda, CA (right across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco). It's a very interesting exhibit (and the Hornet aircraft carrier is fascinating too) and very easy to get to from San Francisco with direct ferry service from the Ferry Building. https://uss-hornet.org
Github Copilot and, depending on the team, also Miro might be useful.
I think it largely comes down to staff quality:

- US flew quite a number of sorties that weren’t directly effective, at high casualties, to delay and “stuff up” the Japanese fleet

- US use of kamikaze attack rattled the Japanese command

- Miles Browning wrote a paper about exactly the tactic used at Midway against the Japanese [1]

You can (and the US did) shuffle commanders as needed — but you can’t suddenly create enlisted to do the dirty work or experts with the right ideas. Those require existing culture. Similarly, with a robust industrial base, you can pivot your manufacturing efforts (eg, battleships to carriers) — but you can’t build entirely new factories of skilled workers very quickly (eg, US struggles to build shells for Ukraine).

Perhaps this is a simplistic view, but I don’t think you can have the right military at the start of a conflict; you can only develop a robust, rapidly adaptable military base. That is, you can only make the military anti-fragile.

My advice would be to ignore the admirals (since you can always get new ones), and instead focus on quality NCOs, junior officers, and economics: they’re the backbone/framework of any future victory.

I liked the trick of having them make excuses instead of revealing they're a bot. Clever.
Re: homogenous user base and MAGA trumpets... in 1998 or so, when I did an informal analysis of USENET centralized moderation vs Slashdot distributed moderation and number-of-posts/day counts across both platforms, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh was one of the highest trafficked USENET groups. The proto-MAGA crowd was there.

USENET was not perhaps as homogeneous as you remember?
I'm currently running the original pinephone with postmarketOS + phosh.

I have the phone running to the point where most basic use cases are covered (flatpak is a big help here) and the battery consumption is not bad (thanks to tlp and irqbalance)

> Javascript applications are going to be doing this naturally

Only because its timestamp (as in `Date.getTime`) is actually the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch assuming no leap seconds. You can't keep the current scheme in a nanosecond precision (2^31 * 10^9 ~= 2^61, so float64 will truncate lower bits). Python had the exact same issue and it now has a separate `time.time_ns()` function as opposed to the traditional `time.time()` function.

No browser has an "open in this window despite what the target attribute says" click, so in that sense, it's for the better (user should be in control).

The alternative (middle click or whatever multiple-finger tap to open in a new tab) is usually available.
> Perhaps, but the trade arrangements made at that meeting have essentially been policy for every Administration since. That's very interesting. What to make of that? Why have no U.S. Presidents (except, maybe, maybe in rhetoric, Trump) wanted something different? The point is that Kissinger figured out something very important, and got it done, and it's lasted half a century. Policy momentum is a fascinating thing, and how to arrange for it.

It's no great secret, the US business community wanted access to China's huge market. That's been true since the 1800s. Nixon and Kissinger, and their successors, especially Clinton, were just acting in their political donors' interest. That's why it happened and why it lasted, until Xi and Trump at least.

The notebook interface of Mathematica is simply unique. It is based on a Lisp-like language (Wolfram language), and fully exploits everything that Lisp can offer (and Lisp can get weird infinitely). It provides an unmatched level of freedom and versatility to the end-user. Wolfram is clearly the first one who built a end-user interface this much powerful, and nothing literally comes close, even Jupyter.

So, yeah, seeing that Jupyter is being used more broadly than Mathematica, Wolfram should feel uncomfortable. (Also note that Jupyter is officially inspired by Mathematica.)

I once talked to someone from the jeans industry and he attributed this phenomenon to brands switching between different manufacturers for their fabrics. So thismanufacturer A might produce the fabric at a weight of XX g/m² and, next year, manufacturer B might produce it at YY g/m². XX and YY will be close but often not exactly the same and this will affect the fit.

I too lusted after the OP-1 bc of Red Means Recording. I finally bought one a few years ago. I barely play it. The sounds aren’t that great and the sampler is Casio sk-1 level. You can’t record more than a few songs on it and it doesn’t have enough onboard memory to hold many samples. I bought a Arturia keystep and installed logic on my MacBook. I use that set up 98% of the time.
To a certain extent, it's the people making decisions shitting in the pool. Often times they will be at different companies by the time they have burned all the trust in the previous company.
I relate to this so much.

I love bring the extra screw up from the basement I saved 4 years ago knowing this moment would one day come where I need it. Now is it on the bottom of the red or the blue folgers coffee can.

That said - tools and home improvement objects are allowed in the maximum as long as they fit in the basement workshop, that’s my only rule.
"Freeman on the land" vibes here, "copyright lawyers hate this one simple trick"...

That ain't gonna work, son.
This feels potentially a bit duplicitous. YouTube is filled with copyright infringing material, which Google capitalizes on to bring in viewers to ads. Granted, they have hosting costs. I wonder what the legal situation is for such instances.
He's just bringing a valid point. Despite the lack of isolation between pieces of software, I too feel more confident about what's running on my Linux distros. That's not to say that "sandboxing is for noobs", but it's an interesting point. It's like how people in very rural areas can feel perfectly safe not locking doors and stuff, sleeping outside, etc., while that would be extremely foolish to do in the middle of certain cities, in certain neighborhoods. Different environments, different dangers, and I think it's fine to enjoy the benefits of a safer environment.

Safety in this case is not provided by physical distance between homes but by curation of software done by nonprofit groups and selection of nearly only open source software with easy building of packages and tracking of changes in the source.

> Did you compile them yourselves? Did you compile the compiler?

There's no such thing as perfect security, and I think you know that. If you think your compiler may be compromised, there's stuff you could do, you just have to evaluate where the paranoia starts and stop before then.

This is called Stockholm Syndrome and there are people who can help.

AWS UI is filled with manual and tedious bullshit to do every day things. It really doesn't have to be this way, making things annoying to configure correctly leads to mistakes or lazy overly broad permissions.

This is a nice story of a Good Samaritan and I applaud the life-saving measures being taken, but on the other hand, are you freakin' kidding me, transit workers administering prescription medication to strangers with completely unknown medical histories? I guess Metro wants to be crushed under huge lawsuits eventually.

Remember, folks, in grade school a student can't even pass a Tylenol across the aisle, or even be caught with them in his pocket on the school grounds. This is beyond the pale. Sorry if people die, really, but you just can't do this with transit workers who are trained to keep buses and trains running, and stations free of garbage.

Not PhD, but the masters program I did (urban planning) had a very strong focus on writing. I’m thankful for that, because it turns out I primarily write and edit all day. And it keeps me in business because I work with engineers and architects whose focus at school was, understandably, not writing, and I prove my worth by editing their work.
I've also experienced this (not in terms of starting companies tho). I've had most success doing things that were generally considered 'a bad idea', whereas when I've followed common sense I've found stiff competition, crowded spaces, noisy environments (in many different senses), etc.
It was suppose to be like Simple, but not Simpler. But modern minimalism went to an extreme.

I don't know how to describe the great leap forwards if not cynical. Nor Stalin's collectivization of agriculture.

In what way are applications sandboxed? The average multiplayer steam game basically installs a root kit on your system. Last time I checked, a unity game jam game can read whatever files it wants on your system (I barely tested this, it may have only been true of my own computer?)
Leaving aside edge cases (e.g preexisting chronic illness). This is mostly irrelevant for software engineers even for the ones without top of the market compensation.
At the time the restriction was on who was allowed to operate and for what purpose.

These types of restrictions in the real world are common. We don't permit say, people to set up shop running gambling tables inside of library reading rooms.

We have restrictions all around us like this. No picnicking on freeways, or say, hookers picking up Johns next to the paintings in the city art gallery. You can't just say, wheel in dirt to city hall and start tending a garden in the council chamber.

We decided to blow away all such equivalent restrictions on the web in the early 90s, being antithetical to any conventions. Maybe continuing to adhere to that, 30 years in, is not the best idea. Obvious guardrails, equivalent to no picnicking on the freeway, can be set up.

It's time to build more of a rules based online society

I think it is absurd to dismiss a comment for the lack of evidence on how the brain works. This is a thought experiment - nobody has any proof.

So you can’t say “this is just false” without providing counter evidence, which you don’t have.

The point here is to have a reference point, something to compare against, as we learn more about the brain.

Yes I find being overladen with quest markers and journals so immersion breaking. And it also devalues conversations with non quest demoting NPCs because the game mechanics are laid bare.

In Final Fantasy pre-12 the game obfuscated progression steps and quest givers to some extent. As a result the game rewarded you for talking to everyone and, as you never knew what was a quest and what was just filler it you would pay a bit more attention which ended up immersing you in the lore a bit more.

Games are often a lot of smoke and mirrors and once the trick of the magic is clear it's often much more disappointing. I feel that way when games just descend into busy work fetch quests with markers and highlighted words.

IANAL but as far as I know, if you think you've found some kind of technicality or gotcha in a legal letter or email that means you can ignore it, you're probably wrong.

Ignoring the legal process can result in seized domains and servers, services being taken down, lawyers obtaining all kinds of personal information through the courts, and other stuff that gets very expensive very quickly. I doubt that this person will be extradited for making a Youtube frontend, but fighting Google can be certified Not Fun.

If you're going to ignore a cease and desist, consider getting legal advice from an expert with relevant knowledge first. They will tell you what can and cannot happen if you ignore letters like these. Perhaps they can word your protest in a more legalese form that Google will need to respond to if it wants to actually pursue the matter; it's certainly possible that getting actual lawyers involved to overthrow a realistic defence will be too much for Google to actually care. Youtubers certainly seem to get the velvet glove treatment after their message exchange with Youtube representatives mention lawyers.

There are probably ways in which the project can be defended (for example, if it really doesn't use the API in any way I don't believe it can be subject to their terms and conditions) but "you used the wrong opening for your email" and "Invidious *is*." isn't it.
I meant per user monthly or weekly byte limits by the people running servers and allowing access, not message byte limits. I'm well aware of how usenet worked, and the fact they can just split into an arbitrary number of payload messages was the point I was making earlier in that comment.

The only way you can stop binary usage is if you limit the demand, as if there's demand the supply will find a way.
