> LLM explanations are shit useless,

For you and for me maybe, but by now I know a lot of people I met at meetups who never programmed but who are creating SaaS etc systems now just by having a chat with chatgpt. They cannot code without, they have the llm explain line by line. They don't understand when they read it (mostly Python/React/JS) without the llm explaining.

And my worst nightmare (as someone who likes precise, static typing, strong typing and even formal proofs now and then) which seems to rapidly becoming reality; read/see no code at all; it's just nanoservice blackbox (just single endpoints) stuff written by chatgpt and the 'programmer' never sees the code, just the input and output.
Unfortunately no, but you should be able to find the bundled openal-soft version by unpacking lwjgl-native*.jar.
500kb isn't even an afterthought for modern computer storage (modern pictures are MB's huge) and doesn't require technical thinking past "download music file".
I've been going down this spatial audio rabbit hole for a few weeks now, and the tooling has left a lot to be desired. Admittedly, my own ignorance about tooling and audio mastering has probably been the largest barrier.

Ultimately I want a 3D environment where I can place a dummy head (the listener), and manipulate sound sources as objects while making them follow programmed trajectories. The best solution I've found so far seems to be Unreal Engine with some plugins, but progress quickly stalls as I'm overwhelmed by all of the technologies.

Honestly, considering how freaking cool this spatial audio can be, I'm amazed that simple creation tools aren't more widely available.

I enjoy listening to 3D ASMR recordings on YouTube but after a while most creators get a bit same-y. It feels like you could generate much more immersive spatial audio experiences, but only a small handful of channels are doing it.
i rekon that if the case is big enough, the'll get access to the cloud backups. the UFED product page states that it can bypass device locks, this sounds like physical access and would only require the device to be confiscated.
You could replace that rock wall with a turd wall and the house would be worth exactly the same and it's being valued that ONLY and ONLY because other houses in that location ask the same prices.

I lived to hear everything. "My property has doubled in value because of a turd wall".
The instruction to switch off the vOverlay bit can be found at location 0xce in the Mac Plus ROM listing: https://www.bigmessowires.com/rom-adapter/plus-rom-listing.a...

The VIA vOverlay bit is connected to one of the PALs (early programmable logic chips) in the Mac, the BMU1. The relevant equations to create the RAM and ROM chip selects are (from http://www.retro.co.za/ccc/mac/ReverseEngineering/PALs.html):

/ROM := /A23 * A22 * /A21 * /AS ; 0x40 0000 - 0x5F FFFF
+ /A23 * /A22 * /A21 * /AS * OVERLAY ; 0x00 0000 - 0x1F FFFF when OVERLAY enabled
+ A23 * /A22 * /AS ; 0x80 0000 - 0xBF FFFF
+ A23 * /A21 * /AS ; 0x80 0000 - 0x9F FFFF and 0xC0 0000 - 0xDF FFFF

/RAM := /A23 * /A22 * /A21 * /AS * /OVERLAY ; 0x00 0000 - 0x1F FFFF
+ /A23 * A22 * A21 * /AS * OVERLAY ; 0x60 0000 - 0x7F FFFF when OVERLAY is enabled

Here you can see that the OVERLAY bit coming from the VIA is 1. used to additionally map the ROM at address 0 and 2. used to map RAM to 0x600000 (when OVERLAY is enabled) and to 0x000000 (when OVERLAY is disabled).
Seeing ‘Get Back’ come together was actually amazing. The way way they argued was distinctive - objective and strongly opinionated without personal attacks.

Back in the Napster days, my "algorithm" was to stumble around somewhat randomly until I found something cool. Then I could look at that peer's collection and download other things that seemed interesting. Usually, it was possible to go deep and get full albums.

After they killed Napster, my discovery ended up on BitTorrent, which often optimized for the complete discography of artists. This could leave quite a backlog but it was interesting nonetheless.

Now I use Apple music, primarily for the albums and the depth of the catalog. I was an early Spotify user but they lost me when they were serving other people music through my connection in the early days, I didn't appreciate that.

When they started monetizing, I also didn't like the way that they took in tons of money from people who liked exclusively small artists and paid it out to mostly the top acts from big labels. Sure, they all do that now, but Spotify started it. At the time, iTunes still had you paying by the song.

It's hard to stay into new music as I get older. A lot of times I already know what I want to hear, and I'm not a constant soundtrack type. But I do make an effort to prowl around the catalog a little and also listen to college radio. Those experiences haven't failed me yet.
What a great question, immediately made me realize I don't need it (killed my interest).

I am seeing a variation of this play out slowly at work, which I definitely would call theft. For context, we have a bonus structure in place that awards bonuses for performance. The actual measurement of work done is actually pretty alright, as it's left to human judgement and not just numbers. However, it creates a severe moral hazard - I am incentivised to spend as little time as possible on each task, so that I can finish more tasks and appear more productive at the end of the quarter.

I often run into code where it seems the author left a lot of tech debt for the sake of fixing the one task they were given. We have processes in place that are meant to prevent bad code from getting into master, and they do work - you can't just sneak absolute garbage past code review, but still everyone involved is incentivised to only let through the minimum acceptable version of the code that will hold together until bonuses are calculated next quarter. The part where this becomes theft is when next quarter your mess impedes my progress, my velocity goes down, which means my bonus goes down, which means you have literally stolen money from me.

I often think about this when interacting with commercial software that has bugs and rough edges. Am I in pain right now because somebody maximised their performance bonus three years ago? Are these issues the results not of incompetence, but of simple min-maxing? At the end, we all reap what we sow, and I can but hope that my mortgage gets paid before the reaper comes to harvest.
> Imagine if you could just send it the whole “page” worth of JSON. Make an endpoint for /page/a and render the whole JSON for /page/a there. Do this for every page. Don’t force your front-end developers to send a bunch of individual requests to render a complex page. Stop annoying them with contrived limitations. Align yourselves.

Why not just send HTML as a single response at this stage? Sometimes it feels like we are doing web development more complex than it needs to be.

Bill Atkinson had incredible programming style. I'll admit, sometimes Pascal reads like poetry. I think it must be the paren-less procedure syntax:

UnloadSeg(@PrintDoc); { SegPrint }
UnloadSeg(@CutOrCopy); { SegScrap }

UnloadSeg(@EditPat); { SegPatEdit }
UnloadSeg(@ChooseBrush); { SegBrush }
UnloadSeg(@Symmetry); { SegSym }
UnloadSeg(@ShowPicture); { SegHelp }

QuickDraw in 68k assembler is beautiful, too; there's a story from the first Mac's development that, when the Macintosh team tried to rewrite as much of the Toolbox in order to fit it after asembly in 68KB of ROM, Bill Atkinson refused to touch QuickDraw [1].

Amen. An OS should get out of the way of the real work as much as possible. Any time spent on the OS itself by and end user is essentially time wasted that can never be recovered by writing or using a better application. An OS is essentially a delivery mechanism, not a goal in its own right.

“Black holes have so much gravity that nothing can escape it, not even light”

“Except for all those particles there, and there, it’s called hawking radiation, and eventually the black hole which nothing can escape, not even light, will evaporate from everything escaping it”

I won't hold my breath, but it's a nice thought.
The limit on isolation was your survival. As in, it was not easy to survive isolated. Pretty much any land you go to belonged to someone who has own opinions on land use.

And also, horses were expensive.
The other thing I've noticed about your work is that you don't use filters derived from lab-measured human HRTFs, but instead approximate them from first principles. Very interesting approach, although I do worry about missing out on the up/down asymmetry of the auricles -- not an issue for planar 5.1 though.
> Imagine if you could just send it the whole “page”

Could have stopped here
They don't require it at the OS level though, contracts like that require it on the state of the system as a whole and the typical way to deal with this is by using versioned backups and audit trails.
This is quite darkly hilarious tbh. And consistent with my experience of Blackpool.

I once went there on couple-week-long driving course when I was a teenager, hoping but eventually failing to get my license. I was put up in someone's house that was run as a sort of unlicensed b&b. The entire place, the curtains, the linen, the pillow,.. all smelled of old nicotine and damp. On my first evening I went out by myself to a fish-and-chip shop, feeling like a silly city boy in a greasy gritty concrete town. Stuck out like a sore thumb. I remember walking, late evening, lonely, on a bridge over the railtrack. The entire place felt deserted, metallic and concrete.

I went back to my room and ate the oily chips on my bed. After the first day with an old crusty – but perfectly lovely driving instructor – and a rather large heavy-haulage driver who was renewing a license, we went out for some drinks. Beers. Lots of beer. And they took me to a gay club – of which there are oddly many in Blackpool – because they thought it'd be a laugh. It was actually a massive spectacle for me. It was the first time I saw older men kissing, right there, by the entrance on a old tawdry sofa. I was still on a journey of coming out, so it felt oddly enlightening or validating or something. It was an old-england gay club – the type you hear about in the era of stonewall.

The entire town was like a time capsule to a poorer apocalyptic britain. Betting shops, cheap nail salons, boarded up derelict buildings everywhere! Even the beach was deserted. It reflected the same depressing crumbling economy of coastal towns all over the UK. It felt like a shadow of its former self, but somehow, there was a old english magic to it that I can still feel. My nostalgia is probably getting the better of me, but I remember it fondly.

So yeh I think I understand this SLS thing. In places like Blackpool – forgotten remnants - you can feel the depression in the paving stones – the grey withering vitality – swallowing you whole.
Would be good to know the exact reason. Was it the calculation error, communication error or something else?

I am saddened to hear this. Hoping that India's probe will land safely.

Solutions have improved from a couple years ago, but in general, the issue I've found is that azimuth encoding wasn't working too well.

Maybe by interpolating on a lot of dynamically recorded impulse responses, that can be done better.
Bark: Live sync audio streaming for local networks
Only the ip address holder can sign a valid ROA. It specifies the acceptable prefix lengths the origin AS can advertise. The BGP speakers placed under a requirement to hijack either had to specify a shorter path to origin or only hijacked against people who didn't filter BGP against a validated ROA hierarchy.

ROA can't defend against attack on path hence the possibility they kept origin AS unaltered but advertised reachability to it as a lie. Since some people say ROA protected them that tends to suggest they faked origin to more specific prefices or simply asserted a bad origin AS

My guess is it was like YouTube hijack in PK: wrong side of a box got affected: they only care about BGP speakers inside Iran.

Maybe NANOG list will say more, or the RIPE NCC blog and RIPE labs
If nobody has original ideas then where did the "classical western canon" come from? And what about all those people in the Far East, who never read Homer? Where did the Romance of the Three Kingdoms come from?

I don't understand how we got to this point, where a machine trained to reproduce the results of human creativity is taken as evidence that there exists no such thing as human creativity. What are we training LLMs with, if not the results of human creativity?

I think maybe that's all the result of growing up in an era were there is so much repetitive, trope-filled entertainment that people assume nobody could ever create an original work of art that wasn't just a stitching together of other peoples' ideas. But that doesn't make sense for the same reason I give above: those ideas must have been original at some point.
You can use it to make hash tables or other fast hash based algorithms that do not suffer from adversarial inputs. With most other fast hash functions it's easy to find colliding strings, letting an attacker mess up your algorithm.
Unfortunately, interesting technical topics are becoming rarer here, but, as we know, it is the majority of users who determine the priorities. And the post about "Joys and pains of insects" brought me to the book "The Mind of a Bee" which I immediately ordered and wouldn't have noticed otherwise.
Quite surprised at how much people agreed with this post. I personally don't think this is such a good idea - it's not that hard to write a general purpose API that covers 80% of obvious use cases, and have app-specific grouping of endpoints for the remainder. And I include things like rollilng multiple requests into one as part of the obvious use case. Because it's usually very easy to implement - either copy/paste, or 5 lines for more complex solutions like an orm, graphql, etc.

It seems like a terrible idea to couple the backend with the front-end so strongly.
> common concern is that it promotes insulin resistance.

Chromium can offset insulin resistance, and whilst niacin can increase growth hormone and those ensuing reactions in the body, the demand for chromium will go up.

Chromium also increases Interleukin 1 and 2, which is like the the homing beacon for the immune response. Ferroptosis seems to me like using Fe based ROS to do the destruction, when not enough beta alanine and thus Super Oxide Dismutase to neutralise the feROS is present.

Not enough chromium, you'll see obesity, diabetes, impaired immune response.

Ironically smokers are probably after the "toxic" heavy metals like nickel which causes mitochondria dysregulation in much the same way mercury in amalgam dental fillings cause mitochondria dysregulation to reduce bacteria. Problem is smoking is bypassing the evolved normal digestive system measures to handle these heavy metals, like bile acids.

I think we dont get enough nickel in out diet considering it also seems to reduce the incidence of osteoarthritis, and a zinc-nickel combo is fantastic for bones.
Zinc will give you a better cholesterol profile as well, and has been show to shrink receptors on some bacteria, which effectively starves them reducing the uptake of manganese, which could explain why zinc is considered antibacterial.

Problem with nickel inhalation from smoking or welding is it causes lung cancer as its a metallic allergen, and everything in moderation, which is harder to control via inhalation when compared to digestion.

true, imessage and facetime have a long history of indecency and it's somewhat unfounded to assume they're safe now.

cloud backups are also very problematic because they contain a lot of sensitive information and are not safely encrypted.
Wow. According to the article the US copyright office refused to issue "copyright to Stephen Thaler for an AI-generated image made with the Creativity Machine algorithm he’d created." Doesn't this strike you as nonsense? Consider that one can make a chisel and use that chisel to create works that can be copyrighted. But apparently one cannot write a program that will be used to crate copyrighted work? How do you even draw a clear line between "AI" and "not AI" considering that the term AI is very loosely defined?
Well, these were the more likely to pay if the feature was not free.

Hmm, two percent of the atoms you were born with, or two percent of the atoms you consist of as an adult? (If former, it really is little, if latter, it's mostly because of the bulk added by normal growth.)
Are you suggesting they can't hack phones, and just fake entire address book/location history/all messages? That's obviously false. Is the suggestion that there was some sort of massive conspiracy planting evidence*? I strongly suspect judges won't assign much credence to that.

* Such a conspiracy would have to include Cellebrite, the police and Apple/Google. After all, hacking the phone likely means you have the iCloud keys and can download the backups to verify. Furthermore, the conspiracy would always be at risk from the accused choosing to restore the backups to show some evidence wasn't there. So someone at Apple/Google would have to be complicit as well to modify the backups.

Does it matter? It’ll all be lies to spin something anyway, and that’s if humanity exists, or the same governments do. We won’t hear the lies about George Washington anymore if the country is gone.

Also there’s no way of knowing everything wasn’t created last thursday, or that you’re all figments of my imagination, or we are all in a simulation, or dead, or aliens.

Being remembered after I’m dead doesn’t matter to me. Being thought of while I’m alive does. The only legacy I care about is that my children felt loved by me and that they have good memories with me. I want to die knowing that I succeeded in the one area of my life that actually mattered. Status doesn’t. Money doesn’t. Career doesn’t. I have none of those. My impact on them is what matters

As pointed out in the linked article, traffic analysis with no access to message content reveals more than enough information to focus CSAM investigations on highly probable targets:

“The work that we’re doing to detect behavioural signals on our services is really effective here,” he said in February. “A user who is part of a sophisticated criminal enterprise has different behaviour on encrypted services than an ordinary user.

“Even if we are not able to see the content, there’s some pretty effective work we’ve been able to do to analyse the metadata based on the behaviour of the individuals involved.”
