The problem with those head recordings is that they will only work if you're wearing headphones (well, arguably, they are specific to your head and ear shape, but I'm not aware of any spatial audio system taking that into account or if it would make any practical difference...). The beauty of Atmos is that it can be rendered properly whether you're listening on headphones, your TV or in a theatre with 100+ speakers.

Sure, a mix designed specifically for your speaker configuration is equivalent to or better than Atmos -- Atmos obviously can't magically output more audio data to a two channel headset. However, in the real world, that's not feasible, so Atmos can absolutely deliver better "spatial" audio than traditional channel per speaker mixing.

Thanks for bringing up the local network scenario -- I've been skeptical of these kinds of opportunistic encryption schemes, but issuance for LAN devices is indeed a pain and seems like it would be well served by something like tcpcrypt.

At the same time: how do you foresee this interoperating securely with TLS? My first intuition is, without something even stronger than HSTS, that this would open up additional downgrade attacks against HTTPS: an attacker could do a normal HTTP downgrade and then present a TCP-ENO session that they control the key for. That's perhaps no worse than the downgrade itself, but I could see it being a source of user confusion if browsers choose to present this kind of scheme as "secure" in the UI.
Is there a text version or summary? I can't spend 24 minutes watching.

Atmos on my AirPods seems to work just fine, but I guess I'm curious if I'm missing something?
I learned assembly first, and it definitely affected how I approached all languages afterward.

Actually, it was digital logic that I started with, building half adders and such. From there the changeover to assembly was very natural. From there, C just made sense because it projected a very assembly like virtual machine.

From then on, I'd unconsciously convert high level code to its assembly equivalent in my head. The only pitfall is that you mustn't stop profiling, because these days cache trumps cycles per operation by a very wide margin.
It’s not forced or high priority - it just surfaces tech debt to management in the way they can easily quantify and prioritize.
Swiss Tables are hash tables. O(1) lookup, but expensive to copy.

HAMTs are hash tries. O(log(n)) lookup, but persistent / cheep to copy.

They are not really comparable, since hash tables are not persistent.

In functional languages, persistent data structures are MUCH more natural to work with. HAMTs we're originally created for the Clojure standard library, IIRC.

HAMTs lend themselves to more elegant/performant implementations than self-balancing trees, since they don't need to rebalance as long as your hash function is good.

Also, HAMTs generally have a high branching factor, so the search can be as fast as a hash table for small-to-medium maps. Though I don't know of any HAMTs using SIMD tricks like Swiss Table.

(EDIT: I guess the popcnt thing that HAMTs do would be considered a SIMD trick. Larger registers would allow the branching factor to be raised.)

Like hash tables, HAMTs don't require intermediate key comparison for lookup.

The original HAMT paper is a good read: http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/64398/files/idealhashtrees...

Thank you for your work on OrbStack. Just tried it after reading about in this thread and it looks really great so far, both as Docker replacement and absolutely delightful to launch full Linux VMs.

Noticed you are using a very recent kernel, Linux ubuntu 6.3.12-orbstack, which is so great to test latest revisions of Linux system calls (eg. io_uring) locally, compared to Docker old 5.x kernels which I gave up figuring out how to upgrade.

Any way to select a specific kernel version for VM or container? That would be a killer feature for regression testing.

Fun question.

What does it mean to be "less financially conservative"? Invest more in stocks than bonds? Or buy a fast car?

Maybe the right move is to invest in raw materials that are used for the components that go into computers? Finally a justification for being a goldbug?

Or maybe invest in companies trying to get humans off earth, in case AGI wipes out life here? Seems like a lousy financial investment, but that's the point in hedges, right?

I have had some ideas over the years around home electronics (tools and components) management.

I was thinking about building myself a system of QR labelled ziplock bags (inc. antistatic ones) and QR labelled containers.

The main concept of my particular system would be to have a camera covering my workspace, and a camera covering a storage area for containers.

The system would automatically track which QR labelled bags are in which QR labelled container, and also keep a 'last seen' graph of bags that are near other bags, and containers near other containers, so that you don't have to spend too much effort maintaining the system, and when you want a list of things to work with, the system could help you perform a 'computer enhanced rummage' by using your smartphone and have it highlight containers that you want, and ziplocks that contain the things on your list.

Take all those ziplocks out, lay them on your workspace, boom, they are all checked out of the containers by the overhead camera.

Place the containers back on your shelves, boom, the shelve cameras know the positions of the boxes.

When you are done with the items, place a box on your workspace (recognised by camera) and put the packets back in the one box (those packets then checked in to that box).

I don't have a nice workspace to build the system yet, but when I settle into a place I am going to spend more time thinking about it.
Last time I checked, those wildcard LetsEncrypt certs take more work to get, like passing a DNS-based TXT record challenge. Then once you have the wildcard certs, they only last 3 months. Once obtained, they can manually be copied into the LAN using a tool like wormhole. There's a lot of manual steps here which are far harder than how certbot will auto-renew certs when in the cloud - usually requiring no manual intervention, once you succeed that first time.

Designers are not immune to "the cobbler's children go unshod" / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law - if someone writes a post boasting about how minimalist or simple their page is, then it will surely have implementation flaws or load 100kb of unnecessary JS; if it boasts about performance, then everything will be uncached and it blows 1s unnecessarily before rendering; if it talks about the challenge of "frequency & novelty", then it will surely be an unending scroll of rapidly flickering distracting looped GIFs; and so on.

It is amusing, but also a good lesson in that you can't take these tu quoques or 'doctor heal thyselfs' too seriously. I mean, the last Edward Tufte book I bought (_Seeing With Fresh Eyes_) could've benefited from a few more fresh eyeballs on it inasmuch as it had material better left out and tons of typos in it! Am I going to throw out everything I learned from Tufte or say that he wasn't an expert in scientific communication after all?

What about Excel wasn't working for you? The one time I had to sit and figure this out for $130K of wedding expenses, I downloaded CC/debit CSVs from my banking site, loaded them into Excel, and categorized them there in a semi-automated way. Overall felt pretty efficient and accurate, only snag being a few cash payments I had to note down manually.

Other than that, I don't do anything more than watching my "total assets" value move up and down. If I ever need to retroactively assess things, I can do it in Excel again.
So... not from scratch?
mmm... the assertion that C is subject to bit-rot because it's maintainers keep adding fancy new features doesn't seem to be supported by the factual record. I wonder what compiler they're using that makes them think the language changes so often that you have to keep coming back to the source every couple years to repair it. Rust and Python have that problem, of course, but there's code I wrote in 1982 that still compiles with gcc and clang (and seems to do the same thing it did when compiled with whatever compiler was on 3B2's in the 80s.)

Okay, crazy idea. What if you didn't even need a piece of hardware and the service included online storage? It would simplify it even more for the end user so they didn't have to plug in hardware and maintain it. We could call this service something like eOnlineStorage or iBackupPhotos, maybe charge a varying price up to $9.99 a month for it.
That sounds like compelling speech. That is a very slippery slope.
how do you get the photos out of Google Photos (and delete them from there I assume?)?

I think that the level of expression of my design that will be necessary to pass it to such design agency under the condition of absence of concrete PDKs is so abstract that it will probably be pointless to do this - at this level my design has almost no information and I really don't see that it's wise to make blind preliminary decisions, and I don't want to outsource the work that I could do myself and hold myself accountable. At least I want to make the more concrete (intermediate) design myself from scratch and only then pass it on to experts to elaborate and improve it.

I've had an Atmos system for a few years and it works great for movies, both on 4k disc and streaming services. Almost all of the Apple TV+ content is Atmos encoded. The $500 system in that video is entry level Atmos, my system is 5.2.4 and cost a substantial amount of money.

I agree that games support could be better but that's mostly up to publishers. As for music, I've tried it and it's fine but it's mostly a gimmick for selling remasters of established artists IMHO. Tidal has a lot of Atmos music content. It seems he was trying to use Amazon Music and Amazon is notorious for not supporting Dolby standards because of the cost.

I've worked in audio professionally and software I created is used in lots of movies and music.

Out of curiosity, what's the quantum angle limit? If position is quantized and all fundamental particle are isotropic, there must be a minimum "angle of turn" for all objects, and by extension, a "maximum angular accuracy" for something like, say, orienting the face of a macroscopic object to face a particular direction. How many of those fit in a circle?
How does this compare to https://github.com/arximboldi/immer (other than the C/C++ difference)?

Also, have you seen https://github.com/cnuernber/ham-fisted ? I think there are a few other Java-based persistent collections as well in the overall Clojure ecosystem that also improve on Hickey's original implementation, but I can't recall them now…

Isotopes are not 100% chemically equivalent and they form chemical bonds with different vibrational resonances because the vibrating masses are different. You can see those differences in spectroscopic line shapes including in refraction (which is related to absorption by the Kramers-Kronig relation). My guess is that those effects would swamp out any relativistic ones by a lot, and because you can't tune the isotopic mass you wouldn't be able to isolate a gravitational effect.

In fact it appears that the isotopic dependence for silicon isotopes is known,

https://arxiv.org/abs/1105.0822

and the refractive index of Si 30 is lower than Si 28 in the IR, because of the different absorption lines.
> believe it or not, art does not revolve exclusively around porn.

Sorry, but you're missing the point. The problem isn't that all art is porn. It's that all porn is art.

A drawing or a photograph is not magically less of a creative endeavor because there's a dick in it, or two people fucking. It does create some complications for cultural or other human reasons, but it changes squat about the actual creative input. It sparks emotions, and why anyone ever thought appealing to the emotion of lust was any less valid than any other emotion is confusing as hell to me.

Constraints and limitations sometimes breed a level of creativity, but when you just suddenly limit expression to the degree that Tumblr did, it's a smack in the face to artists, even ones that do not necessarily produce pornography at all. I know they had their reasons, but still.

Of course, you can still have an art community with no porn. Obviously. But what they did was cut off a lot of people's existing avenues for expressing things, and that is not something that people tend to take lightly. It feels very personal.

>Atmos can absolutely deliver better "spatial" audio than traditional channel per speaker mixing.

Could be, I wouldn't know. We can agree though that it is worse "spatial" audio than you can achieve using headphones. If your artistic goal involves using 3D audio, there it is.

If your goal is "using 3d audio, but avoiding headphones to get a result that is not as good." Which is /completely/ valid trade-off at times, eg for group listening, say in the cinema, then great there it is.

3D audio isn't new and wasn't suddenly enabled by some new branded tech. 3D audio has been a usable thing for decades and is kinda cool too.
