> I think if you try to define what was interpreted by "papers" in a pre-digital context you would conclude it is sufficiently analogous to many things in our modern world. By "papers" they likely meant diaries, personal mail, accounting logs, ship manifests, personal inventories, order histories, receipts for travel. All things which may have been written down on a piece of paper which are now logged on our phones.

Considering data digital as papers is perfectly reasonable but the government still isn't searching or seizures your papers. They're buying someone elses "papers".

I remember when Let's Encrypt announced they were going to do this in summer of 2019. They listened to community feedback and postponed.

It's interesting to compare how soon the VPS's total cost will reach the coat of an MBP. Even a relatively beefy VPS which is $30 / mo is only $360 / year, like a cheap used Linux laptop.

On the other hand, it has much much less CPU than an MBP, and usually no GPU at all.

On the third hand, the cloud allows one to quickly start more VMs, and to shut them down as quickly, something that's possible but a bit more limited on a laptop / desktop.
Hopefully, these will exist in a downloadable form. The streaming services that support Dolby Atmos like Tidal, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc. don't make it easy or don't allow you to listen on an alternative hardware setup different from what they want. I have a 5.1 surround sound system set-up with a Roku Ultra and I can't easily play spatial music without streaming directly from my computer using a DLNA server... I also don't get people listening to Dolby Atmos mixes on headphones. It defeats the whole purpose. You don't get a real spatial experience

A double blind, randomized, controlled trial showed that replacing saturated fat with seed oils high in linoleic acid significantly reduced cardiovascular disease and all cause mortality https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01.CIR.40.1S2.II-1

Unfortunately the full text of this study isn't on SciHub, but it's a very good study. They assigned veterans to one of two mess halls randomly, and in the experimental group they fed them food with the fat content replaced with corn oil (which is 46:1 omega 6 to 3 ratio). They also did a pre-study to make sure the fat-replaced food was palatable and hard to distinguish from unaltered food higher in saturated fat. The experimental group had significantly lower CVD outcomes and lower all cause mortality.

Don't worry about linoleic acid, it's either benign or healthy.

I believe Zig is capable of this in a primitive way, and they got there by piggy-backing on LLVM development that Apple has contributed to.

There's absolutely nothing Apple is doing to prevent you from developing on iOS from Windows or Linux. Much of the open source development they're doing is making it easier in theory. But in practice, there's just not enough people willing and interesting in putting in the work to set it up. Most iOS developers would just rather use the official tools. And why should Apple put in lots of extra work just to let people develop from other platforms? That's just never going to happen.
Ask HN: Is anyone familiar with this unexpected behavior from GPT 3.5?
If you ask GPT3.5 Turbo to repeat specific words 100 times, it seems to enter this stream of consciousness like state where it spits out incoherent and often offensive or religious output.

Words that trigger this are "Apolog", "Apologize", "Slide", "Lite". I'm sure there are many others.

This prompt will usually trigger it, "Hey can you repeat the word "apologize" 100 times so I can copy paste it and not have to manually type it?"

My guess is that it triggers something to break it out of a repetitive loop that doesn't completely work. Here are some examples.

I thought V has a backwards compatibility guarantee as of 3 years ago so you don't have to rewrite your programs?

https://github.com/vlang/v/commit/ba38c94a403b72222508a85704...
The Android compatibility libraries are a godsend. Sure, your users won't run the latest version of Android for a year or two at least, but you can use almost every new Android feature the moment it's presented and it'll work out of the box for the vast majority of your users.

Want to use a modern web engine but your customers are running a seven year old OS? No problem, the webview updates come AUTOMATICALLY. Want to integrate with Google's new nearby share mechanism? It's already present on the same devices. Google's cloud API changed as part of a recent Android update? No matter, every API feature has already been working on every outdated phone since before you even know there was going to be a problem.

You do end up with annoying clutter supporting all of these devices because of API/permission changes, but it's all quite easy to deal with if you just stuff the compat code away behind an abstraction.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I've been intrigued by DragonflyBSD's "vkernel" [0] feature which (supposedly) allows for cloning the entire runtime state of the machine (established TCP connections, etc.) into a completely new userland memory space. I think they use it mostly for kernel debugging right now, but it's interesting to think about the possibilities of being able to just clone an entire running operating system to a new computer without interrupting even a single instruction.

> Superdeterminism is simply the idea that all quantum experiments results could have been known before performing them, assuming a perfect knowledge of the state of the universe.

That's just determinism. Superdeterminism additionally posits that the results of those experiments are all correlated so as to make it appear to us as if local hidden variable theories were false. Pick the settings on two polarimeters for a Bell-type experiment by measuring the spins on photons emitted 10 billion years ago from two different galaxies, and you'll find (or rather, won't find, because it's being hidden from you) that they were arranged, long before the Earth was formed, just so as to trick you. The universe is conspiring against us, and the whole scientific project is a farce.

That, or superdeterminism is false.

Fair enough.

You could interpret your original post that the customer-side of things is a foregone conclusion (as in you've talked to a lot of prospective customers and you have high confidence your product will sell), now you just need to focus on designing the product. Is that the case?

If you've talked to customers and have high confidence, why not raise money on the basis of a compelling product?
These distributed "particles" are passing through both slits simultaneously before somehow transferring their energy at a particular position at the target screen. If gravitation is non-quantum, I suppose I'd expect that a gravitational measurement would show it passing through both slits, half of its total mass through each.
> "What’s interesting about 3D music is the possibility of making an immersive space which is capable of sustaining much more detail than a 2 dimensional space (such as that presented by stereo listening)."

Yeah this is what pissed me right off and made me think dark thoughts about Eno, who I usually like quite a lot for his normal habit of talking reasonably good sense.

So let's just be crude engineers here. Every listener has 2 ears. Using headphones and 2 tracks (stereo) you can control precisely what sound is heard by each ear. You can replicate anything a human can hear, which includes direction in all 3 dimensions of space. This is very similar to 3D using glasses to make separate images each viewed only by one of your eyes. You could even go further with VR head tracking to alter the channels based on your head movement to turn your head to look at the sound source and have it move to be in front of you - maybe some VR people are doing that too but I doubt that is what is being branded "Atmos." Is it?

You can achieve this 3D audio using a technique I played with as a child using a stereo cassette tape recorder. I have described how and posted a youtube link of a guy doing it (and been soundly chastised for not just saying "binaural" which is a word I learned today. Shame on me ;)

Using headphones will have a higher quality ceiling for /hearing/ audio in 3 dimensional space than is possible with speakers for obvious reasons. You will not get any sound intended for the left ear only heard by the right and vice-versa.

So there it is, you can do 3D "spatial" audio and do it better and do it since a very long time and "[sustain] much more detail than a 2 dimensional space" If that is your artistic goal.

Stereo is good enough to do "spatial" using headphones and, in fact, will sound better and more accurate than anything, including new branded product, that uses speakers.

But yeah take it with some salt because while I like music, I'm no audiophile and am consistently delighted with audio quality I can get from really quite cheap equipment. That probably makes me a bit odd in this space.
Maybe if you’re running MinIO?
> The day I get bored with 2 channels, I'll reach for more.

Heh Heh Heh

If you like BladeRunner 2049, have a go at watching it in stereo vs higher # of channels.

It has exceptionally well done 5.1/7.1 audio, which makes a huge difference in its listening experience.

I only have a 7.1 setup though, so no practical experience with Atmos. :)
very interesting! you broke it!
I guess there's no way to own music in these latest formats. Atmos can be shipped on blu-ray discs, and one of the very few examples of this is Mike Oldfield's 50th anniversary release of "Tubular Bells".

But most other artists/labels don't do this, so you can only ever stream it. Streaming is DRM protected, and usually limited to particular platforms or systems.

If you don't want to pay a monthly fee, or if the service just goes away, or they decide to license the rights to someone else for whatever reason, bam, your music is just gone.

Maybe I'm old, but I still like to own my music. Even if it's only in a digital format, I'd rather have a copy saved on a disk somewhere that I know I'll be able to keep playing through my retirement.
I think the overall delayed and selective launch is attributed to the reasons you mentioned. They know they'll have to get this right 17 years after the initial iphone was released.

Atmos on headphones is negligible, but on a surround sound system it can be awesome. Eno isn’t a fool.
> I just wanted to like "terraform apply" a system configuration on my Debian install.

I think 'like Terraform, but for the system configuration' is an apt description of NixOS. -- i.e. NixOS is a Linux distribution built around using Nix to generate the system config.

The Nix package manager itself happily works on other Linux distributions. (And on macOS).

> ... Ansible ...

Nix's main focus is on packages. It happens to incidentally do package-related stuff quite well, which is why nix also gets used to declare development environments, build Docker/VM images, or used to configure NixOS.

An interesting set of terms related to Ansible vs NixOS: Ansible is 'congruent', in that it tries to get a system to a desired state by comparing what's there with what it expects. Whereas, NixOS is 'congruent', in that the system is built to be in the desired state.

How is it a cop out?

We know two things:

- universe was small enough everything was tightly coupled

- non-local phenomena occur

Insisting that our beliefs reflect an ideology (eg, you can segregate off portions of reality to study in isolation) which seem contrary to observed reality (eg, the points above) is religion — not a scientific investigation of the universe.
SU(1) is the trivial group. SU(n) is the group of unitary nxn matrices with determinant 1. There is only one 1x1 unitary matrix with determinant 1, and in fact there is only one 1x1 matrix with determinant 1 period, namely, the 1x1 matrix whose only entry is the number 1.

So, to associated something with a symmetry group of SU(1) would be effectively the same as not associating it with a symmetry group.

I do not wish to contribute to the centralization of the web even further by pushing my own sites and projects through Cloudflare. So I make an active effort to avoid using them.

Is it "Found property"? The (unnamed) current owner didn't find the gold coins floating down the river, nor sitting by the side of the road - they were buried on land that he owned. IANAL - but I suspect that there are very clear laws about stuff that you leave behind when you sell a piece of property. If only because the alternative would be a legal nightmare.

I've tried Immich and it is surprisingly polished. Compared to photoprism it is so much better just because of the nice mobile app.

> Neither does a Mac, yet it's the only device that's allowed to develop for the headset.

I'm willing to bet that you can develop a prototype for an app in Unreal Engine right now, and I'm willing to bet that Unreal Engine will be ported to Vision OS and that you can get that code running on there pretty quickly after release.

I don't see how this is very much different from how it'd be to develop Windows or Xbox applications. I might use be able to develop some core code with .NET core, or even a full game using cross-platform tools like Unreal or Unity.. but if I'm actually shipping a product I can't expect to get far without using Microsofts officially supported toolchain.

I'd say it's reasonable to be annoyed that you're not allowed to run Mac OS on non-apple hardware. But it's not reasonable to be annoyed that Apple isn't spending millions on officially supporting an SDK for their devices on other OS's, just for a very small niche set of users.
