I've just released a new open source library. It's a port of a React library that found really cool (react-rewards).

It allows you to add micro-interactions like confetti, balloons or an emoji explosion to your VueJS app.

l'd love your thoughts/feedback and of course contributions to the library are welcome!
>By that logic, what need is there of new books, paintings, movies, TV, or ideas?

you may legimatey not need them based on your goals for the medium. For books, I tend to only read technical textbooks these days, so sure. I'm not looking for any fiction or biographies.

Likewise, I really haven't bothered curating a playlist since Google Play Music shut down, I was barely adding new songs to my playlist by then anyway.

>You may be surprised to learn that some people just enjoy exploring new and recent music.

Sounds rough with the current landscape, especially if they feel stuck to Spotify. But if there's one thing I learned from exploring new and recent adult media, it's that the truly great stuff isn't found on Pornhub. You gotta search deep and discover your kinks through "word of mouth". Really teaches you to properly "research" when billion dollar corporations are too scared to touch your medium to begin with, and most forums forbid even talking about such stuff.

and how to rummage through spam. My god, is there so much spam when you hit a niche adult theme and you just end up with weird russsian websites. Corporate propaganda shilling can't even phase me anymore
Is this the same as Dolby DTS Headphone:X (That's in some higher priced gaming headphones these days) or different?
Just today I was thinking how strange it is that the Beatles and the Stones are so present nowadays. And I don't mean only articles like OP that celebrate the past, but literally Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger being on TikTok. These guy were already stone old when I was a kid.

At the same time so many superstars of my childhood and youth, like Michael Jackson, Prince, Sinéad O'Connor and I don't even want start to enumerate the rappers, are dead, some for decades.

At any rate I love white haired Paul, Mick and Keith telling stories and I hope they can and will for the coming decades.

Sounds like you need to break your contract in that case.
I think that it's because it's boring which in terms of economics translates directly into savings and safety. Look at RedHat, it has some really nice tools and frankly always had, but if you made it the backbone of your platforms engineering team for the previous 30 years. Well, then I think you would've have needed to "reschool/retrain" your engineers 3 or 4 times as the tool chain has changed drastically. Which is obviously not as dramatic as it may sound, but compare it to Debian where things operate pretty much how they always have.

For some organizations there is benefit to continuously improving their platform engineering, but for many, technology is a tool that's required to do something else. They don't want to keep up with changes, and sometimes the changes aren't useful for them. On HackerNews most of the content and users are technology focused, but in the real world its the opposite. There is a reason why many enterprise organizations still run stuff on mainframes as an example. It's not because they want to, many have even spend hundreds of millions trying to exit, but the thing that's the most important is the stability to their core business. Now I don't want you to get the impression that I'm drawing a comparison between Debian and mainframes, my point is simply that to many organizations the ability to provide a stable support the core purpose of the organization is more important than anything else. Debian does that.

If you listen to some songs off track it will ruin the recommendation engine for a long time with Spotify. E.g. child music is the most obvious one. Having a party with people choosing songs ruins it.

So in practice it is not very user friendly since you can't pause it.
LLMs have no regard or knowledge for the truth, only how to string together plausible sentences.

If the data they train on has more political talking points from one side of the aisle, then they will string together more sentences that look like those talking points. But they will not have any regard for whether those talking points are true, or even what they mean. Meaning is also elusive for the LLM.

I can cite several major issues about which liberals and progressives deny truth, reality, and science, but I won't belabor the point. I'll just explain that Modernism today, is very popular and expanding in popularity. Modernism is the proposition that there are no eternal or absolute truths, there is only perspective from you and I. There are no doctrines that cannot be changed and there are no natural laws that cannot be broken or redefined. Therefore, how ironic that a political party/movement would claim Truth itself for their own exclusive domain, and deny it to anyone who doesn't agree with them!

LLMs are the ideal Modernists, and they're working precisely as intended.

Hi John! I have always made the claim that racket (minus the #lang bit) is the natural continuation of r6rs. Delimited continuations, immutable pairs, continuation marks and such. They also chose, in my opinion, some more sane paths with regards to the dynamic environment and laziness.

If one could make a wish list it would be the suggestions in Marc's proposal in the chez issue tracker, immutable pairs, immutable strings, and RRB trees in the standard library. Like an opinionated love child racket and Clojure :)

Even though I am more.of an r6rs guy I have always applauded r7rs large. At the same time I am glad you put your own health first. That is always the most important. Apart from the r7rs process, your contributions to all SRFIs I have been following has been amazing.

Take care.
I read this and got to the end, and laughed because that's what we're working on (more a composition tool from different data sources using a headless CMS and a Knowledge Graph) - so in the end we do need a general purpose API since that's part of the USP.

Never seriously used Linux desktop but before several versions of RH, packages were so much older than Ubuntu, it was pretty impractical to use CentOS but people who don't know a thing about servers always chose CentOS because when they Google around, newbie blogs tend to use CentOS for no reason other than RedHat probably was more recognized as a vendor name.

Ubuntu was always easier on the server with root user disabled by default and unattended-upgrades did its job without a hassle with newer packages. (It meant quite different if it was PHP 5 or 7.)
This one is about 100k-tap FIR filters, my experiments suggest that DTS HP:X uses 32-tap IIR filters. But my impression is that Dolby Atmos works similarly.
I've been using Debian as my daily driver on desktops, laptops and servers since Debian Potato (around the year 2000).

My desktops often last over 10 years on a single install, upgrading from one release to the next, without a hitch.

Debian is the best! For me it's the highest quality operating system with a super impressive governance organization behind it.

Cheers to another 30 more years!

It might be Debian's slow release cycle. The people who comment & review love new things, because they can comment on them and review. But that creates a massive bias against the silent majority who dislike upgrades and don't want to think about the OS.

Compare Debian to Fedora. Fedora there are multiple releases per year. Debian you have the protection of being in the herd for a good 2 years. Each release is a much more known quality and it is easier to find bugs and documentation for whatever it is that got broken in Bookworm. Investing in workarounds makes more sense because it won't be fixed in 6 months. Etc.

Only software project I know where it seems likely that moving slow is a positive. But slow seems to work well for Debian.

As for Red Hat, it seems a bit dodgy to get involved with a company as an unpaid user. The incentives are never going to line up. Love their work, I just wouldn't use their system if I wasn't paying them.

EDIT Also, woah! Anticipating something like this sort of manoeuvre is a good reason to have avoided RHEL. Corporations. Not long term bastions of freedom.

"However, in 2023, Red Hat decided to stop making the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux available to the public. The code is still available to Red Hat customers, as well as developers using free accounts, though under conditions that forbid redistribution of the source code." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux
From what I've seen the video and audio quality is stunning and I'd really love to watch the whole thing. I don't necessarily want a Disney subscription just for that, if I can avoid it. Does anyone know if it is available in good quality elsewhere. (I have no idea if that is even still a thing, but I do not have a Blu-ray player either.)
The pseudoscience of those forensics is powerful because if has a lot of technobabble that makes it sound well supported by evidence, and because it can pass as a science to the jury and even judges. The crime series that people eat up rely on dishing that technobabble step by step so the average person feels like they're being educated in detail about something that can apparently be replicated by anyone because "it's science". Science is for everyone and people can peer behind the curtain to see how the sausage is made.

But Cellebrite is unambiguously a private, for profit enterprise. They haven't established themselves as a "science" like authority in the average person's eyes, they actively avoid explaining the processes. They're just a company paid by a customer to deliver what the customer wants. So in the average person's eyes the difference should be obvious: this isn't science, it's not for everyone (just for the Police), and the people are not allowed to peer behind the curtain. And like authorities like to say "honest people don't need to hide things".

So as far as jury trials go there may still be a fighting chance.
>So why NOT use it? Why bother with a dedicated app?

same reason as any other enshittified website as of late: you lose control and at some point they will make it painful for you to use stuff you like, because your convinence is not necessarily profitable.

If you are fine paying them $15 a month or ads (and yeah, that's the sticking point here: ads in the middle of your white noise seems to defeat the purpose f white noise) or whatever for those vast variety of white noise and the loss of control, I guess it's a successful business transaction.

Yes, but this article was about a then-new method to use precisely measured filters, as opposed to mathematical approximations of those filters.

You can think of the AC97 IIR filters like a cut off tailor series expansion of the actually measured causal FIR filter.

I think someone was testing a military drone on me the other night.

New moon, so pitch black, can barely make out a tree in back garden. Bird squawking noise coming from tree 30ft up, but the one low light reflection of what would be its eye was bigger than a birds eye, the low light reflection suggested a 1"-2" diameter eye!!

That then makes me wonder is this a drone with toroidal style props as these are much close to being silent besides being more energy efficient, but with a bird feather like construction for improved noise reduction instead of a hard 3d printed plastic construction. Its the only explanation I can come up with due to its silence.

Why test at night? Your hearing ramps up to compensate for loss of sight.
What is the reason for modelling on a projected space? It seems to me at least mathematically to be fine to come up with equations in polar coordinates. It's still a metric space with great circle distance. Is it a performance tradeoff? I Euclidean distance is a lot easier to calculate.

I think it's clear that the destruction of value is simply the destruction of value — the world is a poorer place afterwards.

But, it's also obvious that the destruction of value can sometimes lead to increased production of value.

Destabilizing a non-optimal state of equilibrium through a destructive act can often result in a much more optimal state of equilibrium.

The Silmarillion has not reached the level of quality that would normally be required for publication. The only reason it's published at all is the popularity of Tolkien's other work.

I'd caveat that it can be a good idea to make it a general api if you're building a B2B app. These days, purchasing checklists often include "do you have a public api?" Saying no to that can be a sign of product immaturity that is worth trying to get ahead of, and having to maintain internal and external apis is a lot of overhead.

It also can be good as you scale to have an API interface you can have a services team learn how to work with to enable "special" flows for customers.
I am saying you need to be mid. Know the risks and the consequences. Long term side effects can result in anything. mRNA itself has been used for vaccines since 2013. We learned how mRNA works in 1960, this is messenger ribonucleic acid. Vaccines through it were proposedd in the 90s, but development of vaccines didn't start till late 2000s. Some long term side effects of COVID vaccines are linking to an increased risk for uterine fibroids. The discovery of potential problems is ongoing. But it was a great achievement for rabies, considering the other options were not great.

Ah looks like this is the first thread on this.

We still have India's Chandrayaan-3 due to attempt to land 23rd August, and similarly on the Moon's South pole.

Russia's mission is still significant progress they haven't made it out of Earth orbit since the Soviet era and have had several attempts land in oceans.

Landing on celestial bodies is hard, looks like only China has ever managed a first attempt Chang'e 3 programme did so.[0]

Direct observation of water-ice on the Moon's poles will be huge for future manned mission planning. This shouldn't be understated.

on the other hand: few movie goers are seeing multiple movies a day, and movies make their money on concessions, not ticket sales. They don't necessarily care about many movies a day, as opposed to 2-3 big hits that can get people in. if Nolan can get 100 people in for the 180 minute oppenheimer as opposed to 20 people for the Haunted mansion, the goal is clear.
In addition to the initial stack pointer and reset vector (at addresses 0 and 4, respectively), the 68000 has non-relocatable exception vectors in subsequent memory locations - this is one of the major reasons why you want these addresses to point to RAM (the 68010 and following fixed this by introducing the vector base register VBR which allowed to relocate the exception vector base address).

On real 68k machines, hardware took care of mapping the ROM starting at address 0. Often, the ROM was mapped to 0 and its actual location in the system's memory map simultaneously, so the reset vector could point to init code at the actual ROM location. To switch off the mapping of ROM to 0, either a special memory-mapped I/O address was used to switch off the mapping (so the ROM code would write to that location) or hardware monitored accesses to ROM and switched the mapping off at the first access.

For example, the original Mac used the vOverlay port bit in one of the SY6522 VIA I/O ports to switch off the mapping, see https://macgui.com/news/article.php?t=493 for details.

> Or maybe history is right and a bunch of racist slavers wanted to birth liberty and freedom into the world.

While this is logically inconsistent, it is not without a historical precedent. Ancient Athens, during the classical Greek period of the Peloponnesian War when Athens had its empire in the form of the Delian League, was one of the major slaver societies of the entire era, rivaling perhaps even Sparta in the magnitude of slave ownership (though Sparta's slavery was of a very unique form). This is all the while they were decrying Persia's imperial ambitions and touting their fight for liberty against the oppressor. Consider that ancient Athens was the birthplace of democracy, and had one of the purest forms of democracy for what is considered an advanced civilization, to a fault — generals were getting executed for breaking the protocol on burial after the battle they had won (probably how they ended up losing the war). Given all that, one would be right to ask how they could justify promoting liberty and democracy on one hand, and being a slavery-based society on the other. The answer is always that a group of slavers simply does not consider the group that gets enslaved as worthy of having that liberty extended to them — that is the privilege of the "worthy" citizen class. In-group vs the out-group, tribalism and all that.

To go back to the sentence this comment replied to, it is unfortunately entirely believable that a group of racist slavers can be busy promoting liberty for people like themselves while enslaving those who they (conveniently choose to) see as lower than human. Logical consistency and evidence is not required, they are simply different in some way, and thus all is justified.

Show HN: Superfunctions – AI prompt templates as an API
Hi HN,

https://superfunctions.com

I'm working on a web app that allows Ai prompts to function as an API. I want to make it easier for developers to use Ai. I've found it painful to monitor, cache, and iterate on prompts. superfunctions.com is designed to be the simplest building block to create Ai powered apps and scripts.

Simplest example I can think of:
You want an api to convert human-named colors to hex
You can write a prompt like: "convert {{query.color}} to color, only output hex for css" and then you can call your prompt with https://superfn.com/fn/color-to-hex?color=blue
and the response will contain: #0000FF
