I had the HD 25 and found them super uncomfortable. Sold them and got a pair of Sony MDR-7506 for 100$ years ago. Haven’t looked back. The ear pillows (not sure how they’re called) are made of pleather which eventually delaminates. Replacements are 30–45$ which is a bit much. But with some patience you can rub it all off and expose the velvet underneath which makes them perfectly useable again. The pillows sometimes split at the seams but again nothing you can’t fix with a bit of thread.

Compatible replacement pillows exist but I’ve sampled some of them and they made the sound more muffled and bassy with less trebles in my opinion so I went back to the original pillows. Im not audiophile at all but could hear a difference when comparing them side to side (I have two identical pairs)

They also come with an exploded diagram on the box so you can take them apart if you wish.

And they’re extremely comfortable. I’m not a pro but I understand they’re made for sound engineers to be worn all day.
Oh wow sorry misread.
Yeah the mod thing is baseless. However I do think letting pedophiles hang out on your website doing pedophile stuff without taking an action about it is maybe immoral. I also think allowing white supremacists or other bigots to hang out and spread bigotry is immoral.
Yeah, nothing really like that. That’s about containing a ball (/other shape) of gas in a vacuum. This is about creating a turbulent system that doesn’t propagate into nearby fluid.

It’s as if you stirred up a bathtub, but there were only waves in half the bathtub, with a fairly clear line between waves and still water.

That said, it’s related to the general problem of co trolling chaotic systems, so it’s possible that there might be theoretical insights which apply across that domain.
Don't you think they perhaps just considered that making a pro forma altruistic sounding demand on top of the venal one would put public pressure on their target to comply and make themselves merely look like Robin Hood?
This is not a critique of what they achieved, but that is not an innovation over existing procgen techniques. Generating assets from maths is basically what the demoscene has been all about for decades.

The sheer scale of what this does, how general it seems to be (instead of a single special-purpose animation like in the demoscene), as well as the fact that the output is structured and labeled assets I would consider novel, and very impressive.
It isn't a given - we have no idea how much R&D went into those... maybe to design the shape of that plastic entire research teams invented new methods of acoustic modelling...
To counter, not caring about anything you've just written and looking purely at the end result is also part of the economy.

Consumers generally don't want to sympathize with companies and I don't think it's healthy if too many people did either. It's a tug of war to find a balance.

The core of this issue to me is about feeling lied to through vague implications. The product number is higher, the physical appearance of the headphones look better, it cost more, so therefore they must have put more effort into it to justify the price so the sound quality must also be better.
There's a great lecture by Floyd Toole on exactly that for speakers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrpUDuUtxPM.
Could also apply to having kids.
But they did cost what we considered unreasonable at the time. Some of us still do.
My whole family can do this. Dad would drill us after supper on summer evenings. We also knew the entire list of Presidents (up to the 1970's anyway). To be different I did the Vice Presidents.

The only one that ever got any mileage out of it was my little sister. At a poker party she was going into the kitchen for some soda. Somebody asked as she entered 'Cindy, can you say the alphabet backward?' As she opened the fridge, got the 2-litre and poured, put it away and left the kitchen she sang the alphabet song backwards. Never stopped to ask why they wanted to know. Just did it and left, cool as a cucumber. My sister is so cool.
That implies he was even aware that it happened, and again, we have no way of knowing that. If someone makes you a mod all that used to happen was that you get a message in your inbox, and he must receive thousands of messages all the time as he's being tagged in things non stop. Also he was literally a mod on thousands of subreddits, unlikely he added himself to all of them, or that he even reviewed the list.
I went the other direction. I got tired of Plex trying to jam live tv and other monetizing features down my throat.
Yes, that's pretty much the point of the demand for rollback of the API changes. Its pretty transparent that they want the money, but they clearly have thought of your line too.
I tried both a while back, and settled on Plex, as it seemed more fully featured, plus the there's an app for it on my TV, so the UI and UX were better too.

What did you find JellyFin had, that Plex didn't?
The MVP is dead. Long live the RAT (2016)
>userspace spinlocks are a PITA ...
>ideally deal with the scheduler

Don't you anyway need to drop the scheduler a hint so that the thread holding the spinlock doesn't get scheduled off the CPU, making the contenders wait longer than they ideally should?
(Or is this what you meant by your "fairness" reference?)

In my limited understanding, this was the no. 1 reason why userspace spinlocks were discouraged -- because pretty much no scheduler accepted a hint from userspace to not kick a thread off the CPU -- modulo jumping through hoops with priority, et cetera.

If I'm missing something (and I likely am), I would be glad to be educated.
Also what I thought. After 3D it was curved TVs? Or maybe before?
Typical extortionist behavior.

Their first attempt failed, so they just try and piggy back on this media hype wrt to api changes eve tho they dont give a damn, just to blow up this supposed breach and add fuel to the existing fire.
I don't get what's evil about it. If you want the expensive headphones and can afford them, get them. If you think they are too expensive, get other ones.

Edit: want I wanted to say is, that prices are arbitrary. They are a number on a label. As a customer you pick what suits you best. If you think Sennheiser or Apple is overpriced, buy something else. It is their decision to set a price, as it is your decision what to buy. You are also not an "evil" customer, if you don't buy their headphones.
the post i initially replied to is what aims at ending the discussion by pretending it's not a big deal if this is actually the case.
I don't know what's at stake, but I hope Reddit refuses to negotiate with these extortionists, which will only embolden future ones. If and when the criminals are found, may they be punished to the fullest extent of the law!
> iirc Private Relay doesn't get enabled automatically at all?

That's incorrect, private relay -did- get enabled automatically on all my machines without my express permission or consent. Same goes for the "hide my email" functionality recent macOS versions have included in the mail app.

I've found I have to regularly monitor the configuration setting for iCloud-related services in System Preferences as Apple has a bad habit of auto-enabling new features like Private Relay without explicit user consent. Just because I want ONE app to use iCloud Drive for file sharing across devices seems to indicate to macOS that I want to automatically allow every other app (BY DEFAULT) to be allowed to use iCloud Drive. Such is definitely not the case, I can assure you.

"Live text" where macOS automatically reads the text in images to make it selectable (as if anyone asked for that) also represented a privacy nightmare like the above services, so that along with iCloud private relay and hide my email are all on the list of IMMEDIATE disables after every new macOS install for me.

And the amount of times I've had to again re-disable the auto-uploading of the Desktop & Documents folders on my parents macOS machines is pretty disturbing and quite frustrating for my parents too, who also never wanted a huge bulk of the files on their machines to suddenly be offloaded to Apple's cloud without their explicit consent.
> “Wearing it in public has, however, often brought me grief—usually from people objecting to what they think is a head-mounted video recorder.”

Yes, I remember that guy getting mugged by Mc Donald security in France, at the Champs Elysée, which doesn't surprise me given how dumb and ignorant these people are, since they are recruited among gangs... an absolutely shame for France.
I'm pretty sure they do have an algorithm. Not sure how fancy it is, but my feed would prioritise subreddits i interacted with regardless of upvotes for a while. It was one of the things that made me slowly stop using the site beyond specific subreddits.
Loved this quote from the book

“There is a contradiction here: If the prize for winning finite play is life, then the players are not properly alive. They are competing for life. Life, then, is not play, but the outcome of play. Finite players play to live; they do not live their playing. Life is therefore deserved, bestowed, possessed, won. It is not lived.” that was posted in this blog post recently https://www.youngmoney.co/p/infinite-games

For me the difference in what game you choose to play is a result of your mindset - are you seeing people you play with in life, or do you se objects/ obstacles that you have to win over.

That difference makes a huge difference in your behaviour, a person is treated with respect and love - an object is pushed, beaten, removed.

So, i ask myself, how would I like to treated, like a person or an object?
Several years ago, I started writing emails very formally. I took on a certain affectation where'd I'd use $64k words and some really elaborate verbiage to say the simplest things. And I'd have an elaborate formal opening, including a religious greeting, and I'd sign off with a formal closing plus a signature file to boot.

And I can only imagine people just rolling their eyes when they were on the receiving end of this stuff. And in fact I went back to college while I was in this phase, and so I composed a lot of emails to professors and students and staff in this formal tone. I would even use it for DMs that were supposed to be quick, easily-read messages. And eventually one of my classmates did call me out on it. He said my message was so formal he didn't even know how to respond. And I pondered what he said and I had to admit that I'd gone way over the top.

So I dropped the affectations completely and I just went back to that quick and easy, plain-English tone with most people. I do put a bit more decoration on correspondence with a few friends, because I consider them more of pen pals than anything, and I want my infrequent messages to make an impact.

But if I'm doing business with someone, or I am just sending a quick note, I dispense with all the pleasantries and I get right to the point. Because that's how email is used by everyone else these days, and there's no reason to stick out like a sore thumb (and waste people's time reading it all.)
I’m in the UK. I wouldn’t say our central government is well run, but their forms are usually easy to fill in online. Local government forms are more variable. But I don’t have to fill in many government forms.

Your solution seems geared to the problem of physically filling out the form (entering values in to specific fields, showing/hiding further fields based on those earlier fields, data validation)… but does not seem to have anything to say about the problem of making the form easy to understand (does it use language that’s easy to understand? omit fields they already have the answers to?) which is more useful to me.
C, S, K and X. W and V and U. J and G. Q! The alphabet is a hot mess.
I had a logic bug in some new code this week and was reminded that in JavaScript, if you emit an Error and there are no handlers, it bubbles back up to the emitter as an exception.

Someone’s notion that they didn’t want errors to go unhandled. So I had to rewrite the logic so the conditional for reporting the error was inside the listener instead of around it.
Yeah, I'm not arguing he is moral, just that the one argument is bad but, as you've pointed out, there are certainly better.
They didn't steal the data, it was a surprise off-site backup.
I think your right, but you could make the same argument for a lot of traditional businesses that deal in money, transfers/remittance or non-IG securities.

Also this just happened: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-15/blackrock... which could be a game changer for adoption.
A problem with this is that our ears are very different in shape and size from one person to the next. This can have a non-trivial impact[1] on what a person hears, especially for in-ears.

Thus a pair that might measure great might not sound good with your ears.

Show HN: GPT Engineer – platform for devs to tinker with AI programming tools
Hello Hacker News community,

Wanted to share a project I’ve been working on during my spare time.

GPT Engineer’s mission: Create a flexible tool that anyone can experiment with to understand the current limits and future potential of natural language-prompted code generation

I believe it's key for us devs to engage in how building software can, and will, change.

Demo: https://twitter.com/antonosika/status/1667641038104674306

The project had a few broken commits and been a bit unreliable last week which felt quite bad, but it is now quickly getting better. The focus right now is to set up a benchmark for following the progress and clearly knowing current limitations. I'll share the benchmark results soon.

Appreciate any suggestions, experiences, or ideas on this project!
The double-click on the title bar is customizable; I set it to minimize the window to the Dock.

To maximize the window (w/o going full screen, which I hate too), I’d alt-click the green button (would because I never maximize windows either; I’m passionately anti-snapping, anti-fullscreen, etc.).
You can remove all of those with a few clicks.
1. That's not really "governmental collusion"?

2. Elon Musk: https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-05-24/under-el...

This whole Twitter Files thing was embarrassing mundane and the amount of censoring twitter does right now is 100x worse. Just look at the Turkish elections...
You can’t play with my toys! There too awesome for you and you’re not smart enough to play with them.
That would be hard to say. I recall a US Supreme Justice basically defining "hard-core pornography" as "I know it when I see it".

Some would say that pornography implies sex.

Others that it is defined by the content’s purpose.

Some would contend that considering the mere exposition of the female body outside of any sexual interaction as pornographic is, in itself, objectification and sexualisation.

I don’t really have an opinion.

And, in the case of this specific painting, to me it is merely an amusing, well-thought, intriguing, multi-layered play on both words and symbols, that isn’t really significantly any more graphic than the anatomy book for children I had at 6 [1].

But that’s just me. Some could argue they aren’t even remotely the same.

If you’d prefer a less divisive example, Instagram also banned Almodovar’s nipple film poster [2].

> Maybe the problem is more facebook banning all porn including the culturally relevant one.

Or Facebook being left to decide what is and what isn’t porn, and applying their one and only rule to the whole world as if one size could fit all.

This is just something I have been wondering this product brought to mind; how can something be 40P GPIO if it has 40 physical pins and 8 of those are all just ground?
To the OP, Private Relay is more than just tracker blocking it is a full-on VPN service that operates similar to an Onion router / TOR connection

Do a “what’s my IP” when it is enabled and you’ll see either a Cloudflare or Akamai IP.
It's junk science, published in a business journal which is targeting business leaders. It's exactly the kind of people who will eat up pop-psych quackery with a spoon and a shit-eating grin on their faces.
You really do learn a lot with these big mistakes though. I mean you can read all the books you want, until you’ve actually lived through a major outage on a high traffic system I think there’s certain things that are just really hard to understand.
Yes exactly! Or “this has a bug, is only understood by one person and he’s busy right now”.
Show HN: I built AI powered time management software
Hi guys!

Please look at my software and give feedback. Also, there is a lifetime deal that's price increase tomorrow.

Thanks!!
For the transcoding setting, they are indeed in the user profile and work since day-1 as inherited from the Emby fork. It does 100% disable all transcoding for this user.

> I have specific content jellyfin doesn't work with where Kodi is fine

Very surprising as Jellyfin is just a passthrough to Kodi. Did you open a bug report?

> I am just sharing my experience with this software package.

Every post here about an open source project be it Firefox or Jellyfin always see plenty of people sharing their experience with it from a decade ago and panning things that actually work. I usually just read them and move on but sometimes I like to give a counterpoint when it’s about a piece of software I consider quite good.
Yep, the hd600 is amazing, I was introduced to it by an old friend in my teenage year and immediately got hypnotized by its sound, the most amazing piece of hardware I've ever tried but was only able to afford it after my first engineer pay check a bit more than 10 years ago and have never found anything better to this day. I've tried a lot of them since that time but in my ears it put everything else to shame, if HN got some suggestions to find what could be an upgrade from the hd600, I'm all ears!

One of the issue of the hd600 is it makes you picky about sound, in the same way like pluging an old gibson onto a marshall amp, it's hard to get back to a cheaper alternative once you try the magic. Also the same friend that introduce me to the hd600 bought a hd650 as he lost the hd600 on tour but I was very disappointed by the sound of the hd650 which in my ear is nowhere as good as the hd600
Discord is a replacement for IRC, forums and mailing lists - not for hanging out in meat-space.
That was Quadra and Centris iirc
This is my backup solution on machines that don’t hold data.

Rebuild from playbooks, and/or Docker compose.
Oh man thank you for that. Just the other day I was thinking about this stuff, I mean you can literally make no mistakes for years, but it only takes one weak moment and your life can be ruined. For example I am currently unemployed and teaching myself programming after a few bad years I turned my life around, but last year I had a weak moment and I bought some stuff that I couldn't really afford and also don't really needed (it was a Nintendo Switch, so I could relax a little after learning all day), it was something around 1000 Euro. Was it my fault that I bought it?, of course, but man, resisting is so hard when you can buy this stuff everywhere, even when you're sitting on the toilet you can buy it, I mean that's crazy. Like I said, it only takes one weak moment.
Terrorists want the maximum attention for their videos. Pedophiles usually not, so I really do not see a connection.
the low depends on the volatile price of apples. That hand doesn't move for free
The strangeness includes, the fraud was that the letters weren't personalized as promised. They were mass mailing.

So if they had been personalized letters from an actual psychic then no fraud?! Or anyway not prosecutable.
> an atomic increment could theoretically become an infinite loop

Only if your software is badly implemented. If you follow the requirements specified by the architecture, forward progress is guaranteed. Of course there is no guarantee how long it will take, but the things that make it slow are essentially the same things that make atomics slow.
To fully appreciate real estate it might be good to be aware of the co-existence of false estate.
I do not believe the claim. At the moment there is a war between reddit users and reddit managment. The managment is looking to IPO and so is trying to demonstrate its ability to wrench profits. The users are reacting through demonstrations of thier power to impact shareholder value. This hacking claim falls squarely into the later: it threatens shareholder value by introducing uncertainty. I will need to see solid evidence to be convinced.
If you're managing AWS infra through the web application, you're definitely not doing things as per AWS-prescribed best practice.

CloudFlare already has it's hands on unsettlingly large amount of global internet traffic, so why Apple would think anyone would be ok with them also seeing VPN traffic without user consent is beyond me.
Pretty much the same here. I bought the Plex lifetime sub many years ago and periodically come across a suggestion to use jellyfin. So I setup the latest jellyfin (fast and easy), point it at the same libraries, install the latest apps on FireTV and mobile, and try it out. I always keep coming back to Plex as the jellyfin experience just seems to have more rough edges and those edges irritate at a time when I'm trying to relax with media.

I just checked to see if I put my finger on the rough edges and the biggest one is around navigating through the library. While both Plex and Jellyfin can sometimes fail to find the "best" cover art, Jellyfin misses about 8-10x as often, often yielding random screenshots from the movie or a crazy zoomed-in view of some cover art. Plex far less often misses. (This is running the latest on both and giving both a full metadata refresh of the affected libraries and then the affected title again just to be sure: Jellyfin 10.8.10 and Plex 1.32.3.7192.)
> Quite often a reasonable, achievable, and worthwhile desire goes unpursued because we have a simultaneous desire to not pursue it. When we say something is “impossible” or “too hard” or “not in the cards,” that’s a clue.

This resonates. Many who are stuck frustrated not getting what they want have talked themselves out of trying to get it to begin with.

A good another clue is 3rd party attribution. "My life is bad because of bitches/billionaires/Mexicans/whatever" - I've never heard anyone talk like that while also maximizing what's in their power to change.
I suspect it's against the Discord TOS - but even if it's not there's a bunch of community expectations to manage. For recent forums we've added a disclaimer to the channel discription notifying people that we might make the contents web public at some point.

Discord also encourages certain usage patterns that are unhealthy. Threads are rarely used and have poor discoverability, search is incredibly limited etc.
An EPUB version would also be really cool :)
Eleven Minutes of Media Falsehoods, Just on One Subject, Just on One Station
I thought the only problem with MDR-7506's were that they were not comfortable enough for wearing for long periods? All reviews I read online said this.
Wow, congrats!

Does this change anything about the feel of working on it, I wonder? Until now, it has been a real passion project. I wonder if this will make working on it more of a chore, or if it will affect the "roadmap".

I hope someone donates $100k to the programming language project of theirs next.

And lastly, the most important thing is for him to stay sober. My understanding of the whole "serenity" project was as an alternative to drinking that was fun and fulfilling. I hope the money doesn't cause stress, or otherwise change what the project is or how it works, such that it no longer works for its original and primary function.
But that’s the point. They needed the growth or, in this case, the profit impact of shifting employee money to shareholders
