As someone who did way too much with handles in early Mac and Windows programming, I'll say they're definitely not 'better', but for some (mostly memory constrained) environments, they have some advantages. You get to compress memory, sure, but now you've got extra locking and stale pointer complexity to deal with.

If you _need_ the relocatability and don't have memory mapping, then maybe they're for you, but otherwise, there are usually better options.
IMO what you're doing is similar to giving someone with a physical pain issue opioids. Yes it stops the pain but we really ought to be finding the pain source and correcting that, not throwing massive amounts of pharma drugs (AI in this case) at it.

We should be building a society that promotes more community gathering and more family values so people have a real person around and not some half assed impersonation of what a human is.

Edit: Dammit, didn't catch the satire....
I will guess that you've never sold electronics at scale, with box, manual, per-country regulatory rules, customs, warranty, inventory etc. It's great that you have produced this small little module, but this is very far from what Behringer is doing. It's like comparing a personal Github repo with commercial software.
It was a great interview, thank you.
Wow this is so interesting! So you are saying that the person with absolute pitch often has lost the ability to intuitively follow relative pitch, such that they are having to transpose in their heads?

I had always assumed they could still intuitively match pitch and just had an extra information overlay.

Do these people you know who dislike transposed covers also dislike genres of music with dissonant elements, such as certain types of jazz or microtonal music?
i also noticed the title is shorter as "How My 2 Children Acquired Absolute Pitch".

but i smiled too.
Man himself hasn't done anything for OSS & just made baity content at best
Fair enough, although his sentence seemed to be based on being a habitual offender with armed robbery and domestic violence convictions. It's similar to how people in this thread think that repeat violators of wage theft should face higher penalties.
It's just reality for immigrants from different countries living in America, you know? You gotta learn three to function and communicate with your grand parents and and the rest of the family as they rarely speak any English. That is especially so if you want to teach them something about culture in a country you grew up in.

(I am not the author, my family member is. I find the comments about bragging just silly. It's a lot of work to keep the family connections across cultures and languages).
I hate to be the one who has to say the quiet part out loud but- what in the world are we doing to ourselves? Were these apps FOSS I might not be so alarmed but how do you think these companies are paying the bills? With good karma? No, YOUR DATA. And not just your GPS location or your favorite brand of ice cream, but your most vulnerable and intimate of thoughts. Now, shudder at the thought that not only can these apps leech your data, they can now poke back, manipulating the user to god know's what. And of course, your health insurance provider is now peering into your soul. They'll surely be happy to mandate that you can no longer attend "human" therapy.
I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted.
It's just the way my mind works and motivated. Motivation is a very elusive feeling that I did not find easy ways to manipulate.
It's not as if I'm totally blocked from learning stuff with no clear purpose, but it will require much more mental capacity that is often difficult to muster in the day-to-day routine.
Another example, is I did try to learn what I perceive as totally theoretical math such as "prove that there are infinite primary numbers" which was a nice idea to entertain, but it didn't really make me want to dig in further.
On the other hand, learning about linear algebra in the context of machine learning, suddenly got Linear Algebra a lot more interesting and easy to learn.

Interesting comments. I would have thought the average HNer would understand why systems fall into disrepair without having to resort to old and tired racist tropes.
I've done more than a few software/"DevOps" engineering interviews at DoD contractors and the only three practical technical questions that I was asked across _all_ of them were 1) what is a CSS selector, 2) how would you join an array of strings into a comma-separated list in C#, and 3) what Linux command one would use to determine disk usage... not exactly LC medium-level problems. These types of places don't seem to be big on even attempting to rigorously test for technical acumen - as long as you had a pulse and sounded like you knew what you were talking about they were happy to extend an offer.

Have you tried getting support from RedHat as an actual enterprise customer rather than an SMB?

Obviously if you pay for the lowest level of support, that's what you are going to get. Serious businesses pay for dedicated account resources. This typically includes a Technical Account Manager (TAM) and a dedicated support resource that works along side Professional Services to take care of your install.

When done _properly_ you will have nearly instant support from an excellent engineer.

Thanks, we are working on adding more details about the production plan and I agree that it's currently sparse. We do have some details about the limitations of the free tier[1].

With the production plan we increase the memory limit of the backends to 2GB, up the number of concurrent backends to 20 (it's a soft limit), up the limit on backend runtime to 24h, and have images eagerly pushed rather than lazily pulled for faster start times. If you're open to chatting about your use case, feel free to reach out to the email on my HN profile.

I mean, many people don't have a choice, or it's prohibitively expensive. Good for you if you have such flexibility.
A negative is they're a pain to put on. I do like the feel of toe socks though... they do feel more "free" comparatively.

But as for the case of the Fauci emails from FOIA requests no "reputable" newspaper reported on it. So people still to this day dismiss it since it did not come from a "reputable" source despite the fact you can confirm the provenance and authenticity of these documents by confirming with the agency that released the documents

As a CS faculty member at Illinois (aka UIUC), I don't think that we fit this model.

At least according to my quick reading of the article, ASU has a significant focus on inclusion as a core value. Overall Illinois does admit a large percentage of applicants: about 50% over recent years. (The number dropped a bit after we began participating in the Common App, which makes it easier for students to increase the number of institutions they apply to.)

However, that number hides the fact that admission to top programs like computer science is extremely selective and exclusive. Admission rates to CS have been around 7% recently. And while we've made a CS minor somewhat more accessible, we've also closed down pathways that allowed students to start at Illinois and transfer into a computer science degree. (At this point that's pretty much impossible.) We do have blended CS+X degree programs that combine core studies in computer science with other areas, and those are less selective, but they have their own limitations—specifically, having to complete a lot of coursework in some other area that may not interest you.

I think what's fooling you about Illinois is the fairly odd combination of a highly-selective department (CS) embedded in a less-selective institution. I'm sure that there are other similar pairings, but overall this is somewhat unusual. If you think about other top-tier CS departments—Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, CMU—most are a part of an equally-selective institution.

So with Illinois you're getting the cache of an exclusive department combined with the high acceptance rate of an inclusive public land-grant university. But on some level this is a mirage created by colocated entities reflecting different value systems. And, unlike places like Berkeley and Virginia, which have been trying to admit more students into computing programs, no similar efforts are underway here at Illinois. (To my dismay.)

Overall, unfortunately it's still very obvious to me that exclusivity is part of what we're selling to students as a core value of our degree program. You're special if you got in—just because a lot of other people didn't. Kudos to anyone moving away from this kind of misguided thinking.
I'm not arguing that Sony are saints and Microsoft is the devil. I agree that Gamepass is awesome value and forced Sony to improve their PS+ offerings (competition is awesome!). However, there's a stark difference between Sony buying and investing in game studios after a long partnership (like in the case of Naughty Dog or Insomniac Games), which allows those studios to create bigger and more ambitious games, and Microsoft snapping up multiple large, well funded and profitable, game publishing companies. All I'm really trying to say is that the former deploys capital to fund new games in order to gain market share by competing on quality of the product (which is clearly working for Sony), whereas the latter is deploying capital to just snap up market share directly...
Very poorly written article. Hard to tell what exactly happened vs headline vs various parts of the body of text
I mean from my standpoint, adminstrative and standardized driven teaching has failed us in America. Combine that with our elected officials on both sides of the aisle and throughout all levels of government who'd rather play power games than actually lead and I'm not surprised we are where we are.

Say what you want about the alternative power structures in other countries, they deserve all the criticism they get for some very real reasons, but sometimes being able to unilaterally force through changes seems really appealing.

Probably not. The modifications aren't that heavy, and aren't even always necessary.

My Assumption would be Section 1.4 over rides in the case of Source Code which is governed by GPL and implicitly allows redistribution, that is the entire purpose of CopyLeft

So the prohibition on "redistribution" in this context would be on the compiled binaries. i.e you could not pay for a subscription and then mirror the yum repos publicly.

essentially graft on an enormous scale so that after $40B of investment, the monopoly power company generates significantly less power than 15 years ago. Meanwhile, the entirety of society has had to structure itself to accommodate 4-6 hours of blackouts per day, with a stunning level of required individual investment in batteries, solar, generators, etc.

And now the power company is struggling to just regularly have 4-6 hours of blackouts per day.

what you present is an anecdote of a few skeptics that are educated but it's by and large not the majority of these people that can't be swayed with evidence to the contrary. painting with this broad brush is based on evidence.

Not OP, but Altra King MT trail shoes have a great wide toe box with a pretty normal ankle width. I think the whole Altra line aims for a wide toe box - they call it "Footshape" in their marketing materials[0].

Regardless of your views of cloning a commercial Linux distro like that, alling Rocky Linux and Alma Linux 'dirtbags' misses the point of the entire reason they exist in the first place, RedHat discontinuing CentOS (and drastically shortening the support window on CentOS 8).
Uhm no? Unlike in my home the work environment have professionals washing regularly, no food is prepared, no kids play at the floor and the floors and furniture is made to be easily cleaned. So no. Not at all. (But I wear birkenstocks at work, so nice taking off my shoes that are made to be used outside and rather use footwear that are more fit for the inside).

IMHO, we should be able to train an AI to be a constant in-the-student's-ear teacher. The AI should be able to learn about the student's specific learning style and hence, the student and AI teach each other.

If every student is taught in the style that they learn the most efficiently with, could we expect performance to increase dramatically overall? Would it work to close the socio-economic performance gap among schools? How would the role of human teacher change?

I am sure there are people who've been focusing on this, it can't be novel, would appreciate to know what's being done in this realm.

My hunch is that b is often mitigated by the fact that you were having to touch many items? Such that you don't necessarily even care that it is O(1) in lookup, you are iterating over the items. (And if you aren't having to touch many of the items on the regular, than you probably won't see a benefit to this approach?)
Okay, sorry again. It’s a nice conversational thread nevertheless. The interesting question is why the US followed a different trajectory irt unions than the rest of the west.

And the thing is that even people in dark corners usually don’t react darkly. That’s pretty much what saves civilization imho. That even the bottom 1% doesn’t go all out on the rest. People stand a lot of abuse and still keep their head up. I agree that workers right shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Because being able to choose schools is an incredibly privileged position many well-meaning parents and their kids aren't in.

How much of this is continuous decline and how much is sudden post-Covid decline? From the graphs it looks like a pretty sudden decline, and therefore not a systemic issue.
For me, it might be a way to give richer parents access to further away nicer schools and limit choices for poorer parents by way of economics, therefore increasing inequality. And HN considers, AFAIK, inequality bad.
> If you argue against a bot about a political matter, not knowing it’s a bot - you always lose on a long enough timeline. i.e. you can never persuade the bot, but it can wear you down / eventually find an argument that works.

That's a useful insight. The one on one wearing-down process came from theology. It's sometimes called Jesuitry. Members of the Society of Jesus were trained to do that sort of thing, and they got so good at it that the whole organization was suppressed in the 1700s.[1] There are still Jesuit-run schools in the US, and they do tend in that direction. "Never argue with a Jesuit", said Richard Nixon.

Since mass media, large scale use of one on one convincing has gone out of fashion. It's not cost-effective. With large language models, it's back.

In north america, what you want to look for is 'Certified Humane'.

They actually have inspections of facilities and generally enforce better baseline standards for animals, like minimum spacing. Not perfect, but probably the best you'll get in a grocery store.

Everything else is just marketing terms, and effectively unregulated:

'cage free': a bunch of chickens packed into a large room, effectively a cage. Just not individual/tiny cages.

'free range': they have access to an outdoor area in theory, but it might be a tiny cage, no guarantee the chicken was ever able to use it.

'pasture raised': animals generally spend more time outdoors than indoors, but no guarantee.
Exactly. It's more evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
If you click the link in the errors it tells you what they mean.

- "Text content does not match server-rendered HTML."

- "Hydration failed because the initial UI does not match what was rendered on the server."

- "There was an error while hydrating. Because the error happened outside of a Suspense boundary, the entire root will switch to client rendering."

None of these should impact the videos, though, because the fallback (client-side rendering) should work too. So if that's causing the issue, it's because there's a larger problem enabling it.
